Good moning, Babblers. :) my brloved gets moved out of I.C.U today!! Yaa! They beat down the R-coli, the urinary infection, and her blood sugaer is under control again. She has not eaten any food for a week, but my girl is getting better! :)

9:24 am
LuvWordGames

Great news Crossy!
9:25 am
crosshair

Sigh...it was closer than I wanted it to be. Scared the hell out of me, but she is stubbon. I had to drag her out of bed, dress her, but could not get her to the zJeep so had an ambulance come. My stubbon lady.
9:26 am
crosshair

Stubborn
9:26 am
penquis

well she is lucky to have you....
9:27 am
crosshair

And I am lucky to have her. We have saved each other over the years.
9:27 am
penquis

nice!...
9:28 am
crosshair

She dragged me in and because of her my cancer(s) were found in time. Do it was just my turn. :)
9:28 am
crosshair

So*
9:29 am

well you are both lucky to have each other ...

if you can be cowier, why can't you be sowier?...
9:30 am
crosshair

Not sure. Enable is fussy as the best of times. :)
9:30 am
penquis

for sure...
9:32 am
crosshair

It would be nice if Dr. G could dump a few new dictionaries into this thing. :)
9:32 am
penquis

a different dictionary would be nice....
9:32 am
mael

happy to hear that about your lady, crossy!
9:33 am
crosshair

Ty, mael. She is already fussing to go home.
9:34 am
crosshair

She could not stand the tea there, so I snuck her in a cuppa today. :)
9:34 am
mael

very nice, I'm sure that tasted like heaven comparatively :)
9:35 am
crosshair

Oh yes. Many things have changed for the better over the years, but hospital food/drinks are not one of them.
9:37 am
crosshair

I was run over by a car in 1980, and had to spend a tad over three weeks in the hospital, and I will never forget how horrid the food was. :)
9:39 am
crosshair

But they put me back together again, so there is that. :)
9:39 am
penquis

yes, lol...
9:41 am
crosshair

That and the gods decided that the car was to be a Volkswagon Beetle and not a Kenworth hauling a lload of logs. :)
9:42 am

Cannot wait to get my girl home. :)
9:43 am
penquis

i bet! and i am sure she can't wait to go home as well...

Re new dictionaries and word lists. Publishers of these, mostly book publishers, are having hard times. Dictionaries takes years and years and a huge amount of money to produce. The reason why we do not have better word lists is COST, not unwillingness.
9:43 am
crosshair

Anyhoo, I have hogged the chat enough.
9:44 am
crosshair

Agreed, saan, but there are better things than Enable out there that are skready published, a nice Websters, for example.
9:45 am
crosshair

Already*
9:45 am
saanichcat

I use Websters. anyone can do that.
9:46 am
crosshair

But I guess putting it into Babble would be a bit of s job.
9:46 am
saanichcat

as for enable, you would have to talk to Dr God
9:47 am
crosshair

I am just blue skying here, saan. I do not seriously expect Dr. G to tear Babble apart to update it at this late date.
9:48 am
crosshair

I am just grateful that he keeps a legacy game like this going.
9:48 am
penquis

amen to that!...
9:49 am
crosshair

Most devs would not these days.
9:49 am
saanichcat

Totally agree!
9:49 am
Good Enough

Agreed! I started paying when I was a stay at home mom. I went back to work and now I am getting ready to retire!
