12:55 am

I'm falling alseep

12:59 am

I surprise mysef sometimes, typing in impossible words and having them work

1:00 am

nice feeling jilli

1:00 am

I have learned to type in words I thot were there but I can't find when I look. It usually turns out to be in the grid but comes from a differnt angle.

1:01 am

lovely baby, nice thought, bugs!

1:02 am

Yours and Flosey's were more appropriate but I still like babies. New hope for the world.

1:04 am

Hello everyone. Flosey, just clicked on View Profile and saw your alter ego - Florian from Germany

1:04 am

I remember when my granddaughter was brand new, born to a strong feminist, thinking "Poor little thing, saddled with so many expectations." She's 24 now, and doing just fine.

1:06 am

huh. in8 x 3

1:06 am

lol lyn, and his music shows up as "What Flosey is listening to" I don't care for his taste in music

1:06 am

How sad that her mother was not trilled with her.

1:06 am

hah! did that too -- the View Profile in the last box, that is!

1:06 am

oh bugs, I have my grandson in my icon every chance I get

1:07 am

ok up to 100 with 134 togo..time for some sleep..more house cleaning tomorrow...

1:07 am

bug, her mother WAS thrilled with her -- and still is, having modelled her to her ideals

1:07 am

Jilli...and your grand daughter was brought up to "keep the faith"?

1:08 am

I know Flosey. He is a beauty. My pictures were taken on a 35 mm film camera so I would have to scan them in and that is too complicated....

1:08 am

Obviously was...good, so many of the ideals have been lost over time I think

1:08 am

goodnight Pav, sleep well

1:09 am

pretty sure, lynxxx, but maybe in a gentle way nowadays

1:09 am

yes bugs, scanning is a bit of work

1:09 am

Goodnight Pav

1:09 am

Thanks for the clarification Jilli. I would have thot a strong feminist would have been thrilled with a new life to model her ideals for. I am glad i was right

1:09 am

scanning is a pice of cake!

1:10 am

*piece --- told you I was sleepy!

1:10 am

unless your scanner is broken or the 'puter doen't think your "all-in-one" actually has a scanner...

1:10 am

yes jilli but downloading pics directly from camera is a breeze

1:10 am

It is once you know the process but I need someone to show me to really get it. I don't learn well from manuals.

1:11 am

but the computer walks you through it bugs

1:11 am

fireworks

1:11 am

The scanner's software walks you through it too

1:11 am

Congrats Dart!

1:12 am

YAY dart!!!

1:12 am

Thanks for the encouragement flosey. Perhaps I will put more effort into learning it tomorrow. I am so tired now I can hardly see.

1:12 am

well done dart!

1:12 am

well done dart! i was a few minutes late... but still have 50 to go!

1:14 am

wtg Dart, I've just passed half way

1:14 am

go justa and flos!!

1:15 am

you are all too fast for an eshausted person. I am off and will be back tomorrow. Good night all. Have fun

1:15 am

tks dart but afraid most will have to wait for tomorrow - may pick up a few more before heading off to bed

1:15 am

lol

1:38 am

hmmm I need help I use babble expert and I have vista it is not showing me the clues and when I try to get them to load it opens up a down loadable file

jili are you making your own cards or did you already purchase them?

1:38 am

There are too many earlybirds here, many from rural areas in their youth. I'm a night owl ex-city kid.

1:39 am

jilli ROFL...yep...they already have that org...I think I'm going to need it...my hubby will think I was asleep but I'm on the puter babblin' all nite...he will be up at 6am looking for some grub..how am I going to fix it with my eyes closed....oh noooooo!

1:39 am

i am going to butt in, i am making my own christmas cards. i love doing it

lol mp

1:39 am

Hello all

1:39 am

Already bought cards, dee -- I don't have time to make them -- need too many with all the people I've met over the years and want to stay in touch with.

yay me; found the ol 7 all by my lonesome

1:40 am

nj volley

me, too, now jili... harder to find nice ones though... hallmark has been lacking the last 2 years

1:40 am

hi Ursh

ty .. still missing 2 8's tho

1:41 am

I absolutely agree -- and you have a better selection in the US than we do here

really? I would have thot it was reversed

1:41 am

hello evy1 who came in while I was gone

re-hi just

1:42 am

you have more people, so more variety, more choice.

thot about making them on computer, but the ink is so expensive

1:42 am

can other folks see lickety

1:42 am

i can't

1:42 am

clues i mean

1:42 am

do you have the fe 8 volley?

1:42 am

Hi Meliae - I tried it too, I see what you mean. I don't think Lickety has been a Firefox document before maybe that is why it is playing up

1:42 am

I take it Lickety is up? I am down to 122 left with nbt's

1:43 am

yyes justy

1:43 am

Lickety used Internet Explorer b4

no, ty dart... looking

1:43 am

I look at the Hallmark website and so much is not available for us.

1:43 am

Lickety reco9mmends Firefox and that's what I use -- no problem

1:43 am

My expert also asked if I wanted to open html file to get lickety's clues as soon as I came on

1:43 am

i can't get lickety's maybe becasue i dont have firefox

1:44 am

I have always used Firefox Jilli, but something has changed with Lickety

shoot I use old IE... probably won't be able to see clues then

1:44 am

can't understand that, warthog

1:44 am

i used to get it though on safari

1:44 am

I use Babble Expert in a weird way...first I log into regular babble because it keeps my name and password whereas expert doesnt.....

1:44 am

al 8 too volley...both end same way

1:44 am

got it to work just hit run on that window that opens dont hit save

1:44 am

Warthog, you can download Firefox for Free

1:44 am

then when I need the list I open Expert and for some reason I'm already logged into it automatically

ty dart that is my other missing 8 :)

1:45 am

I use Babble Expert, just click on the icon on the desktop, no trouble at all

1:45 am

jilli I don't know either... oh well i'll just see what i can get on my own

1:45 am

does expert save double typing words?

1:45 am

i clicked on open and the clues showed up.

1:45 am

It does Dart

1:45 am

If I go to Expert right away I have to always type in my email and pw but not in reg babble

1:46 am

oh lynxx thanks for tellin me. Does it work for mac also?

1:46 am

everything is there right away. Justy, maybe you need to click on the dotted part of the yellow line on the left to open Lickety?

1:46 am

Yes Warthog

1:46 am

although by double typing words into the puzzle...my two finger typing is getting much faster

1:46 am

once expert is open I just click on transfer clues to lickety

1:46 am

Expert does not work for Macs

1:46 am

ah ha

1:46 am

Expert doesn't - but Firefox does

1:47 am

at the top of expert you can either choose to transfer clues to lickety or vice versa...one small click

1:47 am

thanks lynxx and jilli

1:47 am

justy, do you mean "Send Words To Clues"?

ty dart 8's done

1:48 am

You're transferring words, not clues

1:48 am

Just - You do not that using "Lickety Add" will update list and Babble at same time?

1:48 am

yes jilli,,,,just opened expert and got that grey box too....

1:49 am

that never happened before and the colour has changed....

1:49 am

that should read - You do "know" (not not)

1:49 am

grey box?

1:49 am

yw volley

1:49 am

I just click on send words to clues and they;re all transferred at once

1:49 am

grey box that asked if I want to open it up

1:50 am

The background colour on lickety's has changed to an orangish beige ??

1:50 am

but one of the whole points of Expert is the Lickety Add box, where if you type one word it goes to clues automatically and more than one word goes to chat

1:51 am

there are several ways expert can be used...this is the way I've been doing it....creature of habit

1:52 am

I don't have any of that in the Lickety clue area -- just the clues.

1:53 am

I don't get asked if I want to open it.

1:53 am

Something has def changed, I am sure Lickety will let us know in due course

lickety's clues are not opening for me...

1:53 am

In Expert I have the reg babble screen showing for about 2/3 to 3/4 of the screen size and clues the rest....I type then in the babble area then just click send words to clues

1:53 am

Mine has not changed one bit.

1:53 am

tonight was diff justy....when i clicked lickety's clues...the page didnt open...i had to click where it says if you can't see the clues...then it opened with different colors....something about an html page

1:54 am

Today is the first and only time I had to click on "open" it when the grey box came up

1:54 am

dee, read the small print, the link is definitely there

1:54 am

hi Rose

1:54 am

Well I hope Lickety is aware of it first lol

1:54 am

Hi granny!

1:54 am

hey lyn

1:55 am

and a prompt did come up asking if i wanted to open or save the html file

1:55 am

the fourth line, click on it

1:55 am

In Expert I have the clues open on the left, and the grid and chat on the rest of the screen. It has wroked exactly the same way today as at any other time, but on the other hand I've had it open all day. Maybe something changed later on.

1:55 am

yes same thing for me dartie so just clicked open and it came up but with a different look

1:56 am

hey mar

1:56 am

I have it the opp way....clues on the right!

1:56 am

smaller with a diff color background

1:56 am

If you log out and back in jilli, it may then happen to you

1:57 am

I'm not going to fool around with it!

1:57 am

not finding it smaller just diff colour

1:57 am

Come to think of it, I did shut down and come back at flip-time.

1:57 am

any words starting with ox?

1:58 am

No Wart

1:58 am

no warthog

1:58 am

no wart

1:58 am

thx

1:58 am

I have Lickety's page shrunk sideways to just show the clues. The background is white.

1:58 am

think only one word uses the x tonight

1:59 am

same here jilli, just clues showing but backround is now an orangish beige

2:01 am

nite...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2:01 am

I have the right side reserved for morewords. To get them I go up to Resources, where it's listed. I click on it and it automatically opens on the right and partly covers the chat. I can adjust the size by moving the vertical yellow line or close it temporarily by clicking on the dots in it.

2:02 am

I'm surprised you don't use the "BabbleDabble" jilli...

2:02 am

Well, I'm going to head for bed so I'll take a chance and shut down again, then open up and see what's what here.

2:03 am

night jilli

2:03 am

JUsty, I looked at it but much prefer morewords.

2:03 am

So here goes -- back in a few

2:03 am

when the clues are up you just have to type in the stats....takes much less time then going thru the whole list on MW's

2:04 am

gl jilli

2:06 am

I'm back, and it's as you said -- the clues are no longer part of Expert and you have to toggle back and forth -- real bummer. I wonder if the Lickey add works any more!

2:07 am

Didn't a little grey box come up asking you to open or save or cancel?

2:08 am

yes, it did, just as you said, and Lickety Add doesn't work, and none of my words which were neatly in the list are there any more. Send words to Clues doesn't work.

2:09 am

did you click on "open" cause it's all working for me...

2:09 am

When the box came up I said to open it. Should I have said Save?

2:09 am

If you clicked save it won't work

2:09 am

how many ex?

2:10 am

Damn

2:10 am

1 wart

2:10 am

i can't get to Licketyhe actual clues, all i can see is the header.

2:10 am

one ex hog

2:10 am

dang i got it

2:10 am

try shutting down, clearing your cache and reopen selecting open

2:10 am

I'm going to email Lickety about this.

2:11 am

thanks

2:11 am

good idea jilli but try what I just told you...

2:11 am

any ro?

2:11 am

<bein a bit of a pain here but just want to get a few words before bed

2:12 am

7 ro's

2:12 am

thank you. i will chew on that!

2:14 am

I did, justy, with the same result. Can't use Lickety Add, or Send Words to Clues.

2:14 am

Have to toggle. It's on a different page.

this is a mess.... think I have to reboot...

be back in a minute

2:15 am

so sorry to hear that jilli....how about opening up regular babble....then try opening expert...

2:15 am

hb Dee

2:15 am

log out first...open regular bab then open expert

2:17 am

I don't see why that would be any different, justy, but I'll try. Damn. Expert was so perfect! It's not toally broken, though -- morewords still works.

2:17 am

Do you mean log out or shut down?

2:18 am

log out...if that doesn't work then try reboot

2:18 am

I suggested that because....

2:18 am

that's the way I did it this evening and it's all good except for colour

2:20 am

let's get the terminology straight. Log out would be to go to the little red letters, top right, so that coming back would mean using the password etc. Shutting down (to me) means closing the page with the little x. Rebooting means closing down the computer and restarting it.

2:21 am

first try log out... if that doesn't work then try rebooting...if you just shut down it is not necessarily logging out...

2:27 am

OK, I logged out, logged back in (I had cleared the cache) -- same result -- the clues are on a separate page, not part of Expert, and transfers don't work.

2:27 am

I'll try rebooting but don't expect any better result.

2:27 am

did you try opening reg bab first? then opening expert?

2:28 am

sometimes jilli a reboot will clean and clear up a bunch of stuff....

2:30 am

Yes, did it all, but nothing changes. Lickety's list opens on a separate page and is not connected with Expert. Maybe you haven't been using it the same way as I have so it seems the same to you.

2:32 am

I don't know what to tell you jilli....I always open regular babble....do as much as I can...then open up expert for the list....that is what I did tonight....got that grey box, clicked open and all is the same (except for colour)

2:34 am

Mine is behaving just as Jilli's is Just

2:34 am

very strange...sorry to hear. Hopefully Lickety will fix the problem

big mess... definitely liked the old way better

2:36 am

It's prob a glitch that Lickety can fix, assuming he's aware that there is a problem

2:37 am

well if anyone's wanting clues, let me know cause my list is working and I have all the stats

ty just... I may take you up on that in a bit... 40 left here

2:38 am

sure Dee (lol, have list and still needing 97) but have been trying to help Jilli figure out what she can do

2:38 am

Justy, you definitely use things very differently from the way I do. I never need to open regular babble because it's all part of Expert -- everything on one page. Are you sure you're using Expert?

2:39 am

I have the Expert icon on my desktop and just dbl click on that.

2:39 am

same mine is working

2:39 am

I'm absoluetly positive jilli, the reason I do that is because then for sure I can't use the clues til I think I really need to

2:39 am

if you dont use expert and just click on the lickety link below puzzle does it work?

2:40 am

I have both icons on my desktop jill....but always go to reg bab first

no

2:40 am

you can hide the clues, by clicking on the dots in the yellow vertical line!

2:40 am

I just usually click off the list in expert and then click it back on when I need it

when I clicked on link it tried to download to my desktop dart

2:41 am

I'm going to email Lickety now.

2:41 am

dont click run when you get that pop up click open that is how I got it to work

2:41 am

strange Dartie, just tried it and it came up strangely, with the same grey box. Then it opened but looking very strange

2:41 am

i just clicked open and it worked

2:41 am

I've just emailed Lickety about the problem

2:42 am

run was not an option...it was either open, save or cancel

2:42 am

then click open

2:42 am

mine had grey box and i clicked and i have clues

2:42 am

not run

2:42 am

open worked for me but seems not to work for dee or jilli

mine, too just

not messing with that anymore; I get too frustrated... nose back in grid... :)

2:43 am

go here: and reinstall maybe?

2:44 am

oops http://sites.google.com/site/licketysp litaus2/BabbleExpert12_FireworksForeve r.zip?attredirects=0

2:44 am

there's obvioulsy a prob...once lickey knows he'll fix it

2:45 am

tried that site mel not working for me but then I don't need it

i went ahead and downloaded the html file and opened it in my browser, looks like a possible page design upgrade

2:47 am

but some said when they did the d/l it didn't work but open did, so who knows

2:47 am

brb

2:50 am

still here dartie?

2:51 am

glancing at chat every so often...watching poker on tv and playing poker online lol

2:51 am

playing for real money?

2:52 am

real fake money :)

2:52 am

well just wanted to congratulate you on finishing cause even with list, for me, it's a toughy

2:52 am

two clues in one: scary story

2:52 am

watching HiStakes Poker?

2:52 am

thx

2:53 am

yep

2:53 am

Well, I've written Lickety -- it's 7:52 pm in Sydney so I hope he checks his email!

2:53 am

think lynxx said she emailed him too

2:53 am

don't know if this will help but it worked on my computer at work earlier this evening and now on the one at home. It wouldn't accept the usual address (licketysplit.aus/googlepages.com) so I went to the link below on this page which didn't take me directly there but it brought up a screen to "open" and it worked. Did the same at home and it gave me a "some messages will harm your computer" which I ignored and hit Open anyway and it did.

great way to get a virus :(

2:54 am

correction: licketysplitAUS (no dot)

2:54 am

jwr, that's what we've been getting, but it's not connected to BabbleExpert.

2:54 am

jilli, josh said he clicked save to save the html file and that worked for him...maybe give that a try

2:55 am

I'll try.

2:55 am

just make sure to....

2:55 am

save it to lickety's expert file

2:57 am

aha! I'm not "expert" you see. I'm sorry. I know what it's like to lose a helping link. Good luck. ... Meanwhile, Volley -- that virus warning comes up on everything new ... when it's really threatening, I get a louder warning. Besides, I've had my shots (:

lol jw good to know

2:58 am

Justy, I'm not going to fool with it -- too tired to go on anyway.

2:58 am

maybe I spoke too soo arrrghhhhhhHHHH

I'm old; I hate change

2:58 am

well, sorry jilli, tried the best I could

2:59 am

me too Dee, still using IE6 and XP

2:59 am

jwr, "expert" is not like "going pro". It's a different browser Lickety put together so that his list, the grid, the chat, and some other features are all on one page.

I have IE 7 and windows 98 :)

3:00 am

aha....win 98 is the pits dee :(

3:00 am

ie 7 and good old vista

3:01 am

maybe you should go back to IE6 with 98....cause IE7 changed drastically and is much more resource intensive

3:01 am

you can get a group of four words by filling up a balloon- in7+ 3 in8

3:01 am

My sister had Vista....it drove me insane (her too)

3:02 am

thanx for the update jilli -- I never really knew what it was though I thought Expert was only available to Pros. I'm sure you'll get it back intact -- meanwhile, at least Lickety is There and when I'm 3/4ths of the way thru (my rule for me), that's where I go.

3:02 am

have those jae thx

I think the "resource intensive" is the clue here & mcafee is a hog... I don't want vista, and it's a little soon to get windows 7 (bugs not worked out yet)... I am trying to hang on until after the first of the year...

3:03 am

my laptop died one year ago...didnt have much choice but to get vista

3:03 am

Well, night all -- let's hope things get fixed soon!

was it tough to manage dart?

3:03 am

bye jilli

nite jili big huge hug

3:03 am

goodnight Jilli

3:04 am

well then Dee....go back to IE6...get rid of Mcafee...and use the free anti virus AVG.....and watch the change

3:04 am

night Jilli

3:04 am

the laptop dying or vista lol

3:04 am

both dart!

3:04 am

Thanks for trying, justy

just that might be a good idea; I need to call a computer guy who knows what the he... he is doing... have them do something to "tide me over"

ditto just... both

3:05 am

Best thing to do then Dee, is get him to help you back up whatever you want to keep, reformat the hard drive, and put back IE6 put on AVG antivirus and keep your 98

3:06 am

sorry had to lose with pocket 9's

3:06 am

awww dart....decent hand

3:06 am

hard to find what im used to on vista compared to xp

I loved 98 at the beginning; it is coupled with microsoft off professional 2000 and for work (brochures, writing, cards, ads, etc), it is fantastic

that is what I have heard dart & many think that was on purpose... may be ok for businesses who have computer geeks on staff, but us home folks are screwed

3:08 am

I know Dart cause when I still had a sister...and she got her Vista, I helped her naviagate to finding ways to do things that XP and previous versions always used...

lots of our mom / pop computer places have closed here (bankrupt, got other jobs)

3:08 am

waiting to see if upgrading to 7 will be good idea

did you lose your sis just?

my brother has a friend who is a beta tester for 7 and he claims it is better than vista, but "not spectacular"

3:09 am

well Dee what I recommened was what is prob best for your computer that has much less power than within the last few years

3:09 am

We are totally estranged now Dee :(

you are absolutely correct just, and so very sorry to hear that... has happened to me and my sis at times over the last 30 years

I know how tough that is

3:10 am

Well basically 7 is Vista in that all the changes for finding things as in the XP and before years

3:10 am

Just, Dart -- was somebdy talking about Hi Stakes Poker awhile ago? Are you getting it now in the middle of the night. Lucky you. ... Understood it was very real cash tho. Not so?

3:10 am

well 2x for me Dee, the first and the last, because unless she comes to me, we will die estranged

half the time I never did find out what pissed her off

3:11 am

was watching "poker after dark"...cash game i n vegas between the top pros

3:12 am

She basically turned the knife several times after her husband stuck it in...we were best friends all our adult lives

3:12 am

both are good dart....used to be into it, but not much anymore

we think my sis' hubby was the instigator here, too... jealous or something nonsensical

3:13 am

Used to play for "real" money on line and that was in the days when our dollar was only worth .60 - .70 cents...

3:13 am

Ah, Dart. That's different -- we'll get that at 2:05am PST. I'm enjoying WSOP. Nice to have a real "world" involvement in something called a World Series.

3:13 am

all on line poker is either in US or Euros

3:14 am

found the single o in the bottom right- cats are s***** than dogs- they are nicer to pet...

3:14 am

Dee, my hubby and I have done sooooo much for them, both financially and spiritually over the course of 40 years, and this is how we are paid back

3:15 am

Just -- did you play for real? I never had the nerve (nor the math!). Seems like you can still play your way into the "cash" games or tournaments.

3:15 am

I'm Canadian, we were never banned from playing on line poker for real money as you were in the states

3:15 am

I;m assuming your'e US

it sure makes no sense just... I had to learn tho not to be mad, the stress of it was affecting me physically, so now I just don't worry about it... not angry anymore, so it is up to her...

3:17 am

Right you are. San Francisco. The US has a lot of Purtan holdovers. Explains why the Canadians are among the top players, tho. You really have to risk real money to learn to play well.

3:17 am

she's the one who suffers terribly from fibro, caused by her husband, gambling poor house welfare and when times were good they pissed it all away anyways

is she physically abused?

3:18 am

and you have to learn how to gauge players, even on line

3:18 am

No Dee,

that's good

fireworks FINALLY

3:19 am

His philosphy is why worry, what'll it get me, she loves all the vices too, but still worried, esp in all the down times

3:19 am

wtg volley

3:19 am

I'm getting out of this -- Just is carrying on two, possibly three, conversations -- too much for me. ... YAY for you Volley!

3:19 am

Congrats Volley!

3:19 am

wtg Dee!

ty all

oh, by the way... good comedy... The Proposal with Sandra Bullock, Bettye White... really cute

3:20 am

that's why I still have 95 words left jwr...sometimes the conversation is more interesting than the grid

3:20 am

esp with a kindred spirit (((Dee)))

just may I help you now in some way?

that is so true just!! sisters by a different mother LOL

3:21 am

no thx Dee...have the list and all the tools I need!

3:21 am

how many words are in the grid?

234

3:21 am

234 hog

good just!

3:21 am

oy!

3:21 am

tc and have a good day Dee

3:21 am

too bad no two letter words

3:21 am

thanks

3:22 am

Dartie's my kindred spirit too, but in a different way!

was reminded tonight of how short life is... had dinner with my friend (who's hubby died very unexpectedly in March... the one who was given insulin by mistake)

she is same age as I am and is a widow...

3:22 am

oh my Dee, how sad and stupid is that?? :(

terribly... she did find out what happened....

3:23 am

Sure hope at least she doesn't have financial problems, sure don't need that stress as well :(

her hubby was in critical care; person next to him had diabetes... one nurse was responsible for 4 patients....

one was to get antibiotic and one insulin.... they gave the wrong "bag" to the wrong patient...

agreed just

3:24 am

omg dee

it was soooo many levels of wrong

3:24 am

and my son works in the industry where these mistakes cannot happen...

my friend is one of the most godly wonderful people I have EVER met....

she wanted to meet the nurse who did it, so she could tell her she forgave her...

what industry?

3:25 am

his company has computertized systems and automatic packaging of drugs per patient...

awww for sure... not er6

no er 6

3:25 am

That is amazing Dee, she was prob overworked, and would never have done such a thing intentionally

3:26 am

nevertheless a life is gone.

3:26 am

did the other patient die too?

perhaps, but somewhere else the system fell apart... 3 people used to have to check a med before it was administered... what happened to those "checkpoints"?

no... antibiotic did not kill him

so more than one person had to be at fault

3:27 am

The company my son works for is actually an American (multi national) company....but it's up to the hospitals to go with these systems

never thot about other patient... what if he had been allergic to that antibiotic... 2 could have died wow

interesting

3:28 am

yes but he turned out to be the lucky one although a diabetic

for sure

3:28 am

kindred spirit..i like that justy

3:28 am

:) well I do feel like that, dartie!

that phrase "kindred spirit" always reminds me of Anne of Green Gables

3:29 am

:)

well, I must get some rest, have to type something for my husband tomorrow...

has numbers in it, so I need to be rested or I will reverse them LOL

3:29 am

night volley

3:29 am

I must of read it somewhere way back, being a Canadian book back in the days where they were not internationally known, but I cannot remember it

3:30 am

night Dee, take care

nite dart and just... ty for letting me vent! Oh, Just, I read the entire series; worth reading again, even as an adult... sweet as can be. I loved them.

hugs & *poofing*

3:31 am

thx Dee, will look into it

3:33 am

doubled up with pocket k's :)

3:33 am

heheh..nice. What site do you play at?

3:33 am

fulltiltpoker.net

3:34 am

have played at many sites but never that one....btw...have not played a hand of poker, whether on line or in real life since Sept 08

3:35 am

my nephew in TO runs an "underground" poker room...

3:36 am

dont tell anyone lol

3:36 am

makes a fortune

3:37 am

lol...don't think anyone can shut it down from my statement...esp in a place where more than 5m people live...

3:39 am

they have 5 mil now?

3:40 am

if not more when you consider the GTA

3:42 am

i suppose..we have about 3m...and the two cities only have 400000 and 300000 between them..rest in suburbs

3:43 am

just lost 25000 on pocket J's..they had pocket Q's :(

3:47 am

lol dart....been there done that ;)

3:48 am

just went to heat up a world famous Montreal bagel, boiled in honey water then baked in a wood buring oven

3:49 am

mmm not sure about world famous.

3:50 am

well NA famous for sure lynxx

3:50 am

never heard of them lol

3:50 am

But we do have Glick's nearby! lovely bolied bagela

3:50 am

ugg, can't stand bagels

3:50 am

that's cause you never had a real one mummy

3:50 am

you haven't had a fresh Glicks boiled bagel

3:51 am

or honey

3:51 am

you mean they don't have Mtl bagels in NFLD?

3:51 am

partridgeberry pies/tarts

3:51 am

tried them all over the pkace, just dont like them

3:51 am

lol okay

3:52 am

now you are making things up Dart

3:52 am

nope...have had them...love em

3:52 am

ok mummy but if you ever do get to Montreal, just go to either St. Viatuer or Fairmount Bagel Bakery, then tell me you still don't like them and I'll truly believe you

3:53 am

all I can say is that when out of Montreal, I will never eat a bagel.....even NYC

3:53 am

ok, will let you know if ever I get there!

3:54 am

aah - lingonberry, now that I have heard of

3:54 am

same berry..different name

3:55 am

but you never know dartie NF is closely tied to the UK

3:55 am

maybe ireland

3:55 am

I know lynxx you're not in the UK lol

3:55 am

loganberries, lovely, had them in Melb but never seen them in UK

3:56 am

yes but Ireland has influences from the 'mainland'

3:56 am

or should i say 'mainisland' :)

3:57 am

Montreal is an island too! For those who didn't know (or care) :)

3:59 am

you guys were almost not the same country as the rest a few years back

4:00 am

yes true, but this city would have then 'separated' from that new country to become a 'city state'!

4:00 am

It'll never happen Dartie, they're growing old and dying off!

4:01 am

would canada have survived with a big gap between the east and west?

4:01 am

don't know but I do know that it never would have happened....

4:01 am

or turn it around..would quebec have surv. being isolated in between?

4:02 am

they would have suffered terribly...the fools

4:04 am

Dartie, have you been vaccinated yet?

4:04 am

they could have joined their brothers off the coast of NFLD...St. Pierre and Miguelon

4:05 am

Don't think those 2 would have left France for the banana republic of quebec

4:05 am

no..they dont have enough shots yet

4:06 am

are you gonna take it?

4:06 am

will worry about that..if they ever get enough

4:07 am

by the time they do...flu season might be over

4:07 am

that's crazy...here, only 1 company is supplying the vaccine, but I'm hearing that in the states there are 5 companies providing it

4:09 am

our population is 10 times yours tho

4:09 am

Those who want it here, by early Dec evy1 should be done. Right now they're doing it by priority needs...eg babies 6mths or under and their parents, children 6mo to 5yrs and pregnant women 20 weeks or more and pregnant women with compromising medical conditions

4:09 am

and of course, all done for free....

4:09 am

same thing here....hi priority first...im not hi priority

4:10 am

I'm not either...

4:10 am

sort of free

4:11 am

free of additional charges

4:11 am

well you must have ins from work, yes?

4:11 am

here it's free for all

4:12 am

you all pay for it...just diff ways

4:12 am

nothing is free

4:13 am

well yes, but no one will have to decide whether to buy food or get the shot....

4:13 am

no ins from work..if youre not in those groups too bad

4:14 am

when I say free I mean no money transactions in any form will be needed for anyone...those who work and pay taxes are of course paying for it indirectly, and those who are not are still entitled to be innoculated

4:15 am

during my trips there...(and i know nfld is more expen. than mainland) everything was more expensive..gas..food. and the sales taxes were higher...so you do pay for all the extras like health care etc

4:16 am

it behooves government's to vaccinate the whole population...otherwise they'll be killing off the poor :( and the poor will infect many

4:16 am

you posted b4 i...that wasnt an answer to yours lol

4:17 am

of course we pay, just not directly nor can anyone be denied or condemmed to bankruptcy or death

4:17 am

well gas shouldn't be more expensive there cause they do have their off shore oil rigs

4:18 am

it was actually becoming a 'have' province, when oil was almost 150$ a barrel

4:18 am

but i would think canada would be cheaper gas overall...you are an exporter country...we get a lot of your oil

4:19 am

sigh and Que is one of the most expensive, and the US is quite cheaper than most provinces, but then, we have health care for all....so the bigger consumers pay more taxes...

4:20 am

but then, Que residents pay the cheapest hydro electric rates on the continent....

4:21 am

so it all kinda evens out...but all are covered, is my point.

4:21 am

i cant compare that...they didnt send me any electricity bills when i was in NFLD lol

4:22 am

fl

4:22 am

well, it was all figured into your hotel/motel bill :)

4:24 am

we do need to change our system...but it will be hard...and they keep trying to jack up the taxes on the top earners...the top 5% already pay more than 50 % of the taxes..the bottom 50 % pay about 5 % of the total taxes

4:25 am

wow it's sooo not like that here, my son, who earns 52 but with overtime about 62 pays 50% :( in que, in bc he'd pay about 39

4:26 am

in Ont it would be about 42

4:26 am

If healthcare was run by the state gov'ts with federal guidlines, it would so be manageable

4:27 am

that's why you always hear the pres talking about no more taxes for the bottom 95% of taxpayers

4:28 am

well that's why Canada brought in the GST all products and services are taxed. The bigger the consumer the more tax they pay...it's a bitch but it's equitable

4:29 am

youve got the dilem. of greedy insurance companies on one side running it..or the other way withan inept gov. running it...not sure if good either way

4:30 am

well ins companies should be totally out of it, except in the capacity of providing "extra" ins

4:30 am

sales taxes usually hurt poor people more than the rich

4:31 am

eg...hubby and I have no ins...so all medical is covered just like everyone else....but my son who has a med plan from work can claim eyeglass and certain dentistry, private hospital room etc whereas we cannot

4:32 am

eye exams are covered less a 30$ fee but glasses are not (with no plan)

4:32 am

No dentistry covered except for children under 6? for cleanings

4:32 am

what i worry about here...is if you have a good plan...the company will see no incentive to not drop it and everyone will be on the gov plan

4:33 am

Que has its own drug plan....you pay a monthly fee of about 10$ and then 1/4 the cost of the drug(s)

4:34 am

well dart, the change would be so radical for you guys, and the greedy ins companies would look to anyway to keep their bottom lines but...

4:35 am

at least all Americans would have basic health coverage which means being able to afford a doctor who can the prescribe your asthma prescription....

4:36 am

I have an on line friend in Atlanta who has asthma but can't afford to pay a doctor to prescribe her asthma medication, which she would then be hardpressed to afford that medicine :( that is soooo not right :(

4:36 am

by the time they get it in..ill prob be on medicare lol

4:36 am

they get in?

4:37 am

a medical plan you mean?

4:41 am

had to reset router

4:42 am

cable or dsl?

4:43 am

cable...but it was the router not inter.

4:45 am

oh my dsl modem is a router too

4:45 am

meant wireless router

4:45 am

I know

4:45 am

this is a wireless one too but it sucks ....at least in my house

4:46 am

my modem is in the basement and my son 2 stories up, had very spotty service

4:47 am

He bought another router but ended up getting his own connection upstairs, due to the configuration of my home....

4:48 am

router number 2 for us...first one only lasted about 4 or 5 years

4:49 am

nothing lasts anymore, dartie :( if they were, how would these companies stay in business?

4:51 am

speaking of not lasting..i betterhead to bed or im not going to last tomorrow with the gang

4:51 am

take care dartie...nice chatting :)

4:52 am

cya later.....

4:52 am

:)

5:27 am

5:31 am

Move went fine (was Monday) long day, great removal guys and now I am chilling out in a hotel for a couple of weeks.

happy group. :-)

5:58 am

except I'm going to go and go back to bed, feelig all shivery and fluey again today. Just wanted to say hi to FM :) and others!

5:58 am

Hi Wolvie Umm premium bonds are a safe place to put money up to £30k no interest but each month they draw bond numbers and you can win money. but you lose nothing and withdraw your savings whenever you want.

5:59 am

Take care Ata feel better soon hun!

5:59 am

Bye for now Ata

5:59 am

I'm trying! This flu thing is getting simply annoying now.

5:59 am

sprite, how are you?

5:59 am

*poof* *goes to grab silverclaw for cuddles*

5:59 am

get better soon ata

6:00 am

FM - wish we had those. :-)

6:00 am

*hugs Ata* Best whiskers, dear

6:00 am

you can win upto one million pounds each month

6:01 am

i would take that, lol - 2 million bucks. weee!

6:01 am

LOL

6:02 am

given the exchange rate that prob more like ~$1.5m but who cares :)

6:02 am

FM: not bad. Finally, after all those years, getting some kind of control over my condition and that feels very good. It feeds my hopes and keeps me positive.

6:02 am

ooh what i could do with one million pounds..*starting to stare at the ceiling dreaming*

6:02 am

last time i was in the UK the convert was 2 :1 - so .... i spent more than i planned! lol

6:03 am

of course, that was last year. ;-)

6:03 am

Excellent sprite so glad to hear that - you just keep strong.

6:03 am

i am dreaming right with you zoo. sigh.

6:03 am

good news sprite!

6:04 am

Hey get out of my dream..you can`t spend my money too..hahahaha

6:04 am

I will, promise. I am lacking in many things, but I have this one thing going for me: I never give up. How are you, FM? How did the moving go? Are you really feeling at home already?

6:04 am

bet me zoo. ;-)

6:04 am

LOL

6:05 am

Hells bells just realised the time - so sorry have to fly. Hate it when that happens and that chat is going so well. Back later hopefully.

6:06 am

6:06 am

Bye for now ,FM

6:06 am

*hugs FM* Be sure to tell me all later :)

6:07 am

FM is still in a hotel at the moment Sprite, she is looking to move near her mother in sussex at some time soon though

6:07 am

oh my I have it all wrong then, I thought she was moving house a couple of days ago.

6:09 am

5:47 am FMitch Surrey or West Sussex, goona rent for 6 months to be nearer to elderly Mum

6:10 am

living in a hotel - good and bad there. ;-)

6:10 am

still dreaming zoo? ;-)

6:10 am

better hurry up then Wolvie, i have nearly spent it all. :-)

6:11 am

LOL

6:12 am

although to be honest i can`t really complain, i managed to pay for my house over ten years ago, so only have bills to worry about, so i know i am lucky really.

6:12 am

well how about that - i monkeyed an e word i have never seen before. 4 letters of course, lol

6:12 am

indeed you are zoo. :-)

6:13 am

el 5,16 by any chance?

6:13 am

or ex 4,9?

6:13 am

nope - this was ex 4. like the oil company

6:13 am

that was it. :-)

6:14 am

ty for the el tho. :-)

6:14 am

i had not seen either of them..so thought it had to be either of those..lol

6:14 am

i had an el 5, but not that one

6:14 am

well - it was! ;-0

6:15 am

you can plural the el 5..but you have already done that ..so not sure why i said it really. :-)

6:15 am

:-)

6:15 am

e's are always a pain

6:16 am

Hi all - zoo think small helper

6:16 am

at lea** for me. I need one e to get rid of them. ;-)

6:16 am

hi Dianne

6:17 am

Hello Dianne :-)

6:17 am

a female little helper ;)

6:17 am

hi Dianne

6:17 am

Wolvie have you got the et7?

6:17 am

Hi sprite - glad to see you are o.k. :)

6:17 am

nope - i will look, ty zoo

6:17 am

oh sorry Dianne, i already have them..but thanks.

6:17 am

ah. found it. ty again

6:18 am

well to be honest, still far from ok. But much and much more confident that I will be a lot better in time.

6:18 am

My money is on you sprite - you are not one to give up.

6:19 am

:D :D Thanks Dianne!

6:19 am

pulling for you sprite. :-)

6:19 am

thanks Wolvie too :) It may sound funny, but it helps to know that.

6:20 am

not funny at all - good vibes matter. :-)

6:21 am

they do :)

6:21 am

Hi all! Just a quick pop in to ask if anyone else is having a problem with babble Expert?

6:21 am

i am a strong believer in mind power when it comes to helath, not saying it can cure you..but it really helps when you have a positive attitude.

6:21 am

i agree. :-)

6:21 am

not tried it Swimbo, but will try it now and tell you.

6:22 am

hi swmbo, I don't, but when I started the application, I was asked if I wanted to download the babbleclues.html or not. I didn't, and didn't get the clues. Then I restarted and agreed, and all worked fine.

6:22 am

hi swmbo, haven't gone there yet

6:22 am

OK, i will try that

6:22 am

thanks :)

6:23 am

where is this babble expert?

6:23 am

and I don't mean hurshy. ;-0

6:23 am

morning all

6:23 am

exactly zooz!

6:23 am

hi reen4

6:24 am

we need inge hehe

6:24 am

I got it on a separate page, but not the list of clues to the left of the main section. *shrug* oh well

6:24 am

you have to e-mail Dr_God Wolvie..and he sends you a little program that opens the clues page on the same screen as the puzzle and chog

6:25 am

it is a download from Lickety, Wolvie. If you email Lickeyt, he will send you the download link.

6:25 am

oooh - okay - will do. ty

6:25 am

same here Swimbo, i have got windows 7 now, so not sure if that has something to do with it.

6:25 am

i am on a mac - does the program work on one?

6:25 am

should do Wolvie

6:25 am

Babble Expert is from licketySplitAUS and I have had it so long now I forget how I got it! It sets up the page so that you have lickety's clues, the grid and the chat log all on one page

6:25 am

no, it is only for windows, alas

6:26 am

any hint for the bottom right R?

6:26 am

oh ok then not. :-)

6:26 am

it is ry4 Reen

6:26 am

ah. okay then. too bad

6:27 am

i have not used it for a long time though Wolvie, only when i am pushed for time.

6:28 am

lol I always use it, but just for the chatbox. Don't use the clues, but I like the chatbox feature so much

6:28 am

the bottom left r? could that be the horse of a different color?

6:28 am

when i use the list, i open it beside the grid and chog, so i can see both at once. works well

6:28 am

how do you do that wolvie?

6:28 am

are there 2 ry 4's?

6:28 am

yes

6:29 am

no only one Wolvie

6:29 am

I pulled lickety's list onto my desktop and saved it.

6:29 am

I 've been to the desert on a horse with no name...

6:29 am

one of them is like R*** shield switch second letter

6:29 am

i have that one too sprite and that bottom r is still open.

6:29 am

have that one reen, ty

6:30 am

word list says one ry**

6:30 am

lol I wasn't clueing, just singing. You inspired me.

6:30 am

okay - LOL - too funny

6:30 am

sorry could be ro4

6:31 am

wolvie, try the sound a lion makes but then add a suffix for a 6-letter word

6:31 am

to make a six-letter word, that is

6:31 am

am sorry, am really bad that way. They call me the living jukebox. Only I don't take coins, just words.

6:31 am

found it - ro 6 - what a lion is

6:31 am

that is the one, thanks Brookie

6:32 am

yw

6:32 am

snap brookie - and ty tho

6:32 am

i would take coins too sprite - save 'em up

6:32 am

lol

6:33 am

lol it is a great idea

6:33 am

tyre

6:33 am

tyro

6:33 am

oh poo, sorry

6:33 am

that's the best kind of clue, zooz! :-)

6:33 am

already have that zoo,

6:33 am

zooz, you could benefit from that lickety chatbox =P

6:33 am

very sorry every one...

6:33 am

yes yes thanks sprite..lol

6:34 am

ty zoom hehe

6:34 am

hey no prob - just put tough ones in the chat tho. ;-)

6:35 am

ok still missing 4 after my first sweep

6:35 am

like if you accidentally put the five 8-letter words in the chatbox, we would certainly forgive you

6:36 am

absolutely brookie - we would! ;-)

6:36 am

hmmm still cant get the R in the corner

6:36 am

i only have one of them so far

6:36 am

Hello, MM

6:37 am

6:37 am

got it brookie

6:37 am

infact Wolvie they are three

6:38 am

the r in the corner is a civil disturbance spelled wrongly meen

6:38 am

6:38 am

DT - the r in the corner is ro 6

6:40 am

I've finished TY Wolvie

wow - ty for that zoo - new one for me

6:42 am

6:43 am

6:44 am

BBL D: its too early for me

6:44 am

6:44 am

6:46 am

6:46 am

6:47 am

Good afternoon everyone.

6:48 am

hi jacq

6:48 am

hi elder

6:48 am

Afternoon Elder.

6:48 am

hello elder and sprite

6:48 am

we are so glad to see the sun after all the rain we've had

6:48 am

yes yesterday was a wash out here too.

6:48 am

they are hoping to have the trains running south again this weekend

6:48 am

lots of rain here now, but we had a couple of good days

6:48 am

which is just as well since they had to close the road

6:49 am

this is the first dry day since last saturday

6:49 am

could be the rain we had Sprite.

6:50 am

too eager to share, aren't you?

6:50 am

:-)

6:51 am

it's no small wonder there are droughts everywhere, all their rain came to us instead, there must have been a diversion and it got lost

6:52 am

oh for goodness sake, just found that the two `t`s i was missing was the ones i put in the chog & not the add box,...now i feel really silly.

6:52 am

LOL i hate that zooz

6:52 am

are you done now?

6:52 am

LOL, that must be it Jacq

6:52 am

Yep all finished.

6:53 am

Congrats Zoo!!

6:54 am

6:56 am

well - i have 80 for la*** - see you guys then - must be off to do some errands. :-)

6:56 am

6:58 am

hey..you are right Sprite..they do...ahh wel we enjoy iy..haha...ok bye all hope you all have a good day, hope to see you all tomorrow.

6:58 am

good morning everyone

6:58 am

hi merk

6:59 am

My beta version from Lickety is not working today. It opens the list in a separate browser box.

7:00 am

you are not the only one, Merk, more people are having issues

7:00 am

Is there another stat list anywhere?

7:01 am

the website is working, Mubner, just like always

7:01 am

are you using expert?

7:02 am

expert?

7:02 am

Yes, issues, that is exactly right. So I still had Lickety when I hit the wall, but there's no transferring from babble to clues or clues to babble.

7:02 am

nm, i know when i started up i was asked if i wanted to download the list, but i was working on something else when it popped up and hit enter and it did something

7:03 am

I'm using Beta V11. I'm not sure what expert is ... a later edition?

7:03 am

Yes, you can open, save, or cancel.

7:03 am

it's from lickety you email him and ask for it and he sends it to you it puts babble on your desktop with loads of gfeatures inclusing an attached list

7:04 am

Maybe it's because I'm a Mac

7:04 am

What's lickety's email address again?

7:04 am

start it up again and open i think that was the active button when i hit enter, but as i say i wasn't paying attention

7:04 am

So I'm assuming that 'expert' does not give you grief today ....

7:04 am

mmm, hang on i'll check

7:05 am

i have the list, and it looks current

7:05 am

aero

7:05 am

ohh sorry

7:06 am

I just tried opening the beta version again and it immediately opens a the gray window asking if I want to 'open, save or cancel'.

7:06 am

hit open

7:06 am

hit open then

7:07 am

I can get to the list, I just cannot get to it along the left side using the beta v11. If I click 'open' it opens a new browser window.

7:07 am

I was asked the same thing and allowing it to open made it work just like always

7:07 am

I have beta V12

7:07 am

I did hit open, but it is in a different browser and the "Send words to babble' does not work.

7:08 am

maybe you need to refresh

7:08 am

Nope, it opens elsewhere totally separate. I mean it was nice to get the list and all, but I miss the beta features.

7:08 am

it works fine here

7:08 am

So what version are you using, sprite?

7:09 am

Jacq was looking for lickety's email address for me.

7:09 am

beta V12

7:09 am

Refreshing didn't work either. It must be the v11 one that is acting up if others have had issues with it today, too.

7:10 am

could be, worth a try

7:10 am

can you get the new version?

7:10 am

it's opening but it's slow, will send it in a second

7:11 am

I tried refreshing, I tried clicking open. It opens Lickety in a separate browser window.

7:12 am

sorry was inundated by angry offlines from the ex

7:12 am

darn jacq, how unpleasant

7:12 am

In the past if I couldn't open Lickety then I would go to Babbler Anon and view list there, but it's not there, boo hoo.

7:12 am

licketysplitaus@gmail.com

7:12 am

Yuck

7:13 am

Well, Mubner, I view the list just fine in that separate browser window and can type in words. But then I have to manually copy them to babble. I'm just spoiled and lazy. :-) So some of the convenience is there, just not all.

7:13 am

but for now he's focussed on me and has been threatening to kill himself, so i got angry

7:13 am

ty jacq

7:14 am

l with him

7:14 am

as I said, Mubner, you can go to lickety's list on his website. See link under friends of babble.

7:15 am

that's awful, jacq. Do you have to be in contact with him/

7:16 am

not any more apparently telling him he is selfish and nothing he has done or how he has conducted himself makes me want to come back worked, because apparently it's goodbye for ever, thankfully

7:17 am

i feel bad about it, but i refuse to be manipulated like that

7:17 am

thanks, sprite, will give it another whirl.

7:17 am

the "do what I want or I will kill myself" manipulation is something that really sets me off. It is so unfair.

7:18 am

especially since he has 2 kids he says are the be all and end all

7:18 am

good morning babble world!

7:18 am

even more unfair to use it on children. But glad that you can hold your own, jacq.

7:18 am

hi littlebit

7:19 am

hey sprite!

7:21 am

how's our little bitty babbler?

7:21 am

i'

7:21 am

Morning littlebit

7:21 am

i'm doing great!!

7:21 am

hello littlebit

7:22 am

morning merk!

7:22 am

sorry for spilling that into chog

7:22 am

that is good to hear! :)

7:23 am

how are you sprite?

7:23 am

hey jacq!

7:24 am

For all those who can't get a clue list, try clicking 'save' when the grey box appears, then drag the icon into the blank space on the left of expert

7:24 am

heya movie

7:26 am

don't be, jacq, that is one thing we are here for. Sorry you have to go through this.

7:26 am

hi movie my man

7:28 am

this grid is throwing me off with all those vowels. Am over halfway, just, and feel like there cannot be any more words than I found.

7:28 am

hopefully this it it though, he didn't like my honesty and he said i have killed any feelings he had for me

7:29 am

i am in the same place sprite, i have 95 left and am struggling

7:29 am

morningeveryone..thats interesting,upon opening babble,i recied todays clues seperatly;) nice way to do it actually when the main way is down;)

7:29 am

hello crossy

7:30 am

morning crossy!

7:30 am

I hope he can sort things out for himself some day and find that he can carry his own responsibility for the relationship and how it ended. It is not pleasant, jacq, but at least you can tell yourself you have been honest and you did get a necessary message across.

7:31 am

i hope so, but it seems he values his own self worth on being in a realtionship, not healthy and i wonder how i didn't see this side of him

7:31 am

see movie's advice, crossy, and hi

7:31 am

Hi, lurker here. I panicked when I couldn't get lickety, and saw that everyone was having trouble. movieman, you're solution worked for me. thanks.

7:31 am

*your*

7:34 am

breaking up may have triggered something in him, jacq. We cannot always see so deep into eachother. Sometimes we even don't know ourselves what lies hidden. Issues of selfworth are never easy.

7:34 am

why did this little glitch appear all of a sudden

7:34 am

hi mama

7:34 am

hello mama and hello kje

7:35 am

hi kje, I'd never call you a little glitch, dear :)

7:35 am

7:35 am

7:35 am

i have that one thanks mama, try another please ;o)

7:35 am

sorry. this is why i don't chat. ;)

7:36 am

i was going to say put in the last 8 for me but i got it anyway

7:36 am

silly mama. You should chat more. Get some practice in switching boxes :)

7:36 am

wtg jacq!

7:37 am

I have 2 x 7. No 8s. Am being dense today, I bet. But happily plodding on.

7:37 am

think about blowing up balloons, and the person who does that

7:37 am

oh wow, thanks

7:37 am

in8/55 x3, extensions of the in7/40

7:38 am

those were the easiest ones to clue

7:38 am

do you want the others?

7:38 am

got them all, thanks jacq, great clues

7:39 am

glad to help

7:39 am

yes please *swallows pride* I am not going to get there today, I think :)

7:40 am

ok fe8/65 , comes from the fe4/4 and adds british political party which is also a 4 letter word in the grid

7:40 am

a bit like the furry rodent less the hooked consonant

7:41 am

another great clue, found it, thank you again

7:41 am

al8/50 starts with the three letter word for alcohol sold in pints, add a vowel and end with the polital party again

7:43 am

nice clues, jacq...thanks

7:43 am

thanks a lot, jacq, got all 8s now.

Hello Sprite. Seems like ages since I have seen you. How is the puppy?

7:57 am

big! And still delightful in every way.

7:57 am

that is a good thing :)

8:01 am

he is priceless :)

8:01 am

and... we cannot name him today :)

8:02 am

really? his name must be in the grid ... what does his name start with?

8:02 am

te5/10. As in cotta.

8:03 am

ah, one I didn't have (one of many). What a lovely name

8:03 am

it has a latin plural too today

8:03 am

thank you, we like it too :)

8:03 am

thanks for that word as well

8:04 am

yvw

8:04 am

have gotten 50 words, time to go put down another coat of wax. It was good to see you all. Take care.

8:05 am

bye Mom

8:05 am

bye bye Sprite

8:05 am

Guten Morgen, can someone repoeat the trick to get the clue list?

8:05 am

bye mom

8:06 am

bye bye Jacq, take care.

8:06 am

guten morgen Inge

8:06 am

hello inge

8:06 am

hi inge. Open the expert. Answer SAVE when it asked to open, save or cancel. Drop icon into place where the list used to be.

8:09 am

how do I get my icon to move?

8:09 am

drag and drop

8:09 am

give your icon a good relocation package?

8:11 am

finally fireflies. Must be off, good luck all.

8:11 am

wow...tough room.

8:11 am

congrats sprite

8:11 am

done, but no clue llist yet

8:11 am

flas

8:11 am

oops

8:12 am

there we go,clue list all dragged over and in place;)

8:12 am

time to tackle this bad boy;)

8:12 am

works fine here, same as with the fireworks video page (no vid though). Try saving on desktop and then dragging the icon to the blank place on the page.

8:13 am

yes it kind of vanishes if you save in downloads,do what sprite said and save to desk

8:15 am

hi. sprite...I can't drag the file into the expert because I can't make the expert window small enough to allow access to the downloaded clues file

8:15 am

then copy and past it angel

8:16 am

paste even

8:17 am

works as well

hi all!

8:17 am

howdy beach;)

8:18 am

about 6 tries to drag the icon succeeded

8:18 am

yaa for inge;))

8:18 am

I can copy the downloaded clues file, Crossy...but it won't allow me to paste it in the expert. Is this going to be an ongoing issue, or is it a glitch?

8:18 am

just a glitch i imagine

8:19 am

i just put babble into a windiowed mode then you have plenty of room to drag and drop if you cannot c=p

8:19 am

c+p even

8:19 am

got it.

8:19 am

how odd

8:20 am

not too annoying once you get the gist of it

good morning babblers :)

8:20 am

I have finally been able to sleep. for two nights, my cpap mask was broken, and I kept waking up. I was almost sick from lack of sleep.

cpap is a lifesaver! Literally

Angel when I first opened babble expert this morning, a little grey box popped up asked if i wanted to save or run. I chose run and it loaded the clue list into expert and its fine

8:22 am

hm...I noticed that also, but I don't remember how I responded

8:26 am

hi boo

9:46 am

howdy boo;)

9:47 am

hi Crossy

9:47 am

the main reason I want health care reform in the US is so I don't have to spend hours of my weekend building spreadsheets to figure out which insurance plan to get from my employer

9:47 am

sorry for the politics :-)

9:47 am

but it's interfering with my babble time!

9:48 am

I wokr for a major health care insurer and it has certainly been interesting water cooler conversation

9:48 am

*work

9:49 am

I don't imagine that having a public option will actually make it simpler - too many people invested in keeping it complicated

9:50 am

Yes- I agree

9:51 am

ah well - back to the spreadsheets *poof*

9:51 am

good luck!

10:48 am

bye, welki!

10:59 am

I need a break. If they want to "improve" this game it would help if you didn't lose words as fast as you enter them. Or it says no and enters it when you turn your back. I have wasted an amazing amount of time looking for words I thought were there! bbl

11:00 am

so sorry, hootowl.. how frustrating!

11:09 am

Hi everybody! Down to 15 and counting.

11:09 am

hello 174 to go

11:10 am

11:13 am

good, i'm hungry!

11:14 am

Have fun, Babblers.. time for me to scoot. See you next grid. byee

11:15 am

PS: hope whatever is wrong with Lickety's List is fixed by then.. takes so much more time when BabbleExpert doesn't work :-(

11:15 am

mm will soon be time for me to face mount laundry..wonder where ill set the first base camp? lol

11:16 am

get then sherpas to set it at 10,000 feet;))

11:19 am

Since my foot surgery, my son has been doing laundry. It takes him three days. One day to put it in the washer, one day to put it in the dryer, on the third day he brings it back upstairs.

11:21 am

that's a vast improvement over my current wait-staff...with four legs you'd think they'd do more...

11:21 am

is the fe8 a compound word?

11:23 am

It means a portable shrine. Extension of fe4/7

11:23 am

hm, ok.....

11:25 am

I have 5 fe 4/7's!

11:25 am

and I have 9

11:26 am

fe47/to4/6

11:28 am

thanks for the fe8...my first * today...

11:28 am

I don't have any 8 letter words and can't work out the fe clue. Boo-hoo!

11:29 am

use the fe4 7 that only sounds like you're afraid

11:30 am

Ooh, thanks! I didn't even have that fe7, but I know the one you mean...

11:31 am

Got it. You have to add the UK political party

11:33 am

And the al/8 uses the same ending.

11:34 am

How do you know the word values when there's no list today? I checked both Lickety and Bab Anon.

11:35 am

I have lickety's list.

11:35 am

I can't get it. For some reason, when I click it, I get an almost blank page. Weird!

11:38 am

1:06 pm

I have happen where it goes to Iron Sudoku uninvited

1:07 pm

and something happened last night where the clues wont show up on the side of the screen. Is that happening to anyone else?

1:07 pm

tranor

1:07 pm

penalty box for me. SORRY

1:08 pm

Everybody seems to have the same problem, Bugsaw. Me too.

1:08 pm

I feel so much better Erda. Thanks

1:08 pm

I think that's a lickety issue? not babble, cos babble doesn't have clues on the screen?

1:09 pm

I am sure he received zillions of emails. Let's see what happens...

1:09 pm

It is a Lickety issue but for some reason the Babble game doesn't accept all my words but with Expert I am fine!

1:09 pm

different servers

1:10 pm

ata guess. the babble server glitches

1:10 pm

*at a

1:12 pm

The first night it happened I had one word to go and it would not accept it so I thought I had the wrong word. I was asking for clues and getting very frustrated because all the clues were for the word I thot it was too. I finally entered the word in the chog and people said it was the right one. Ruru was laffing his head off at my trials and frustration. I will never forget it.

1:12 pm

yeah, you learn to put in words twice if you're sure about them

1:13 pm

also depends on time of day

1:14 pm

I'm not using experto tho

1:14 pm

separate issues

1:14 pm

72 to go then i have bulbs to plant

1:14 pm

I wasn't laughing that hard..lol

1:15 pm

(checks head..yep.. still in place)

1:15 pm

al4/7 has been in the grid 3 days in a row no

1:15 pm

aloe

1:15 pm

oops

1:15 pm

so has that one,...

1:15 pm

You were laffing so much I might have whopped you if you had been closer. It is man humour and you were never in trouble

1:16 pm

*giggle*

1:17 pm

Ruru, I have had 4 sons and 2 husbands. I recognize man humour right away but sometimes, things are just not funny until later!

1:18 pm

man humor.. that only men understand?

1:19 pm

man humour is when they laff at other people's problems instead of commiserating like women would do.

1:19 pm

admit it. men laff

1:20 pm

plenty of women do too!

1:20 pm

it is the basis of the Charlie Sheen show on TV and it is hilarious sometimes

1:20 pm

I do.. but I wouldn't say most men do

1:21 pm

I laugh at everything anyway.. I never take anything seriously..

1:22 pm

Teenage men do for sure. I watched a whole bunch of them looking out the window at a friend of theirs running around the field in the pouring rain for some reason and all they could do was open the windows and yell insults at the poor guy. This was yesterday!

1:23 pm

I just had to say, "Men" and they roared even more that it definately was a man thing.

1:24 pm

(Plenty of women do it too Ata but don't let the men know)

1:24 pm

(glad i ws here to see that admition)

1:25 pm

(don't tell anyone tho ruru)

1:25 pm

plenty of women do it but pretend to be sympathetic

1:26 pm

could be Ata. Personally, I can see the humour in absolutely anything after I know I lived thru it. At the time it is just humiliating to be laffed at.

1:26 pm

women have a gift for cruelty but men will laugh at dumb things

1:26 pm

women have a gift for cruelty but men will laugh at dumb things

1:26 pm

you just have to laugh along

1:27 pm

Good point bonkler.

1:28 pm

I was laffing along with ruru that night but because he couldn't hear the playful tone of voice when I told him to be quiet, I think he thot I was really mad at him.

1:28 pm

Always felt bad about that

1:30 pm

you can make it up to me by cluing the fo 6.27..

1:30 pm

sorry. you need to ask for one I have and I only have 84 so far

on most grids you can try adding er, ed, est, ier, ing and that kind of thing to all the word you already have. This grid only has ant or ory

2:41 pm

Yes I know that

2:41 pm

you can try putting re in front of all your words

2:42 pm

No that won't work

2:43 pm

otherwise I can't hel because Licketys List is not showing up

2:43 pm

yes

3:17 pm

i havent been on here in ages as i havent had a pc

3:17 pm

i did havean email ages ago from dr god with a link but its gone

3:18 pm

If you didn't keep your original email from him, I guess you can email him again. Note: there is a bit of a problem with it at the moment

3:18 pm

Lickety is not connected with Dr God

3:18 pm

ok thanks

3:20 pm

hello Temple Owl and gqenski

hi sadie!

3:46 pm

Boy, when you're away from this game for any length of time, it's slow going to start a puzzle again.

like riding a bike, gwen

3:48 pm

hi Gwen. I think its just a tough one

got to go. bbl...good luck everyone!

3:48 pm

any computer know-how available for asking here today?

3:49 pm

depends on the question. I suggest you ask, and see what happens.

3:51 pm

bye temple owl

3:53 pm

alright. got a new 'puter. it runs vista. yay, but it was free so no complaining, right? well, i'm trying to get the card reader from my digital camera to work, and i cannot find a driver for vista.

3:54 pm

so i downloaded one for windows 2k, but when it tries to install it has some sort of targeting error and cannot find the folder it made for itself.

3:54 pm

I won't be of any help, beyond the usual 'google it' answer. But I'm not surprised a win2k driver doesn't work with vista.

3:55 pm

But perhaps someone else will chime in.

3:55 pm

jes, I don't know the specific answer to your question, I'm still running win xp. My suggestion is put this in a Google search box, including the quote marks, if any:

3:56 pm

vista +"digital carmera name and model" +driver

3:57 pm

sorry, add "windows vista" at the beginning of the phrase (didn't totally think it through, but there's always room for another try!)

3:58 pm

see what hits you get, but don't go beyond two pages of results, try tweaking your search parameters and try again.

3:59 pm

I hope you have more success than I'm having with this grid today!!

3:59 pm

ni and no6 clue?

4:00 pm

ni + suffix for without

4:01 pm

ni + negative ending

4:01 pm

no 6: negative + creative endeavors

4:01 pm

apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. "I have the vista system on my new dell computer. I'm trying to use my sandisk sddr-09 usb smart card reader. According to sandisk it is system ready without a driver. But my computer tells me I need a driver. The closest driver from sandisk is the windows 2000 driver but when I load it I am given file error message. The guy at sandisk tells me I need to contact Microsoft. When I tried ot access via website and typed in my procut serial number for viata it tells me I've done it wrong. I've checked the numbers twice and re- entered to no avail now what?" is the top result of that search

4:01 pm

thx for the ni, could nave sworn i tried it

4:01 pm

thx cyber for the no

4:01 pm

no - suffix for without and carney linkletter fleming garfunkel

4:02 pm

no: start with negative ending + word for paintings, etc

4:02 pm

my best advise is to scrap vista and go back to xp

4:02 pm

*advice

4:03 pm

yeah; well.... that's a brilliant plan except I never had XP, i'd have to go buy it. I jumped from 2K to Vista, and all the other computers in the house use Vista, so switching this one screws up the networking thing.

4:03 pm

believe me, i've thought of that already!

4:04 pm

sandisk forums came to the same conclusion... vista will NOT talk to this card reader, end of story. bastards.

4:04 pm

I'm waiting for the new os to come out -- maybe even to make sure there are no bugs in it as long as xp keeps working. Too many of my programs aren't compatible with vista.

4:06 pm

yeah; i agree. we have xp at work, so i'll just have to use my work computer for pictures it seems. stupid microsoft and their dumb lack of backwards compatibility.

4:07 pm

good thing my boss doesn't care.

4:07 pm

second re 6/18 clue please

4:07 pm

jes, all I can say is sorry! That's the reason I don't want vista, just not willing to join the ranks of the frustrated customers who are the real world testers of a not ready for prime time product.

4:08 pm

the second re i have is ripped again. haven't listed yet so i don't know if it's actually the second one, matches

4:08 pm

re6.18 bank lent you money again

4:11 pm

Shirl - tellS

4:11 pm

i have that one, the one after?

4:11 pm

I am taking ten minutes from reading... I have a major draft of a paper due next Friday and haven't started it... *sigh* but they only "sort of" explained it yesterday, so my guilt level is low while my anxiety level is high!

4:11 pm

or re7 - the person who told

4:11 pm

*hands round bowl of dark chocolate non-pariels to those interested*

4:11 pm

sounds lovely JB! I have Tom slaving away in the kitchen making pizzas for supper

4:11 pm

4:12 pm

Yum, that would go perfect with greek salad on this side of the country!

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

Boast away, o woman of many talents!

4:12 pm

go ahead proud momma

4:13 pm

*waiting with bated breath*

4:13 pm

okay, the elder stidkid did "okay" on his midterm math test -- his study habits were not great so he hadn't really understood the mechanics. We are pleased with his effort.

4:13 pm

And the younger stidkid participated in a taekwondo tournament today, his first. Got a bronze medal for his "form" (the only competition he wanted to do).

4:14 pm

good stuff!

4:14 pm

He was sad because there were only three of them competing at his level, but we are pleased that he made the effort.

4:14 pm

So I am very proud of both my offspring. *big mama smile*

4:14 pm

4:14 pm

*sound of two hands clapping* !!!

4:15 pm

hurrah for good kids :)

4:16 pm

75 to go -- list time!

4:16 pm

Is anyone else being haunted by the phantom word 'terror' in the grid today?

4:17 pm

um, it's not a phantom

4:17 pm

um, nope, I just saw it!!!! <pb for me!!>

4:17 pm

not so much, jb, cuz it accepted it when i put it in last night ;)

4:17 pm

You made an er5/10 JBsAnno. That is not a phantom.

4:18 pm

Hi, minver!! long time no see!!

4:18 pm

funny, because I had the er5 already, too

4:19 pm

Fish, please!

4:19 pm

*tosses a cod*

4:19 pm

What, no salmon?

4:20 pm

heck no, i'ma eat that!

4:20 pm

Hi JBsAnno!How are you?Was here before. Then took a nap. I'm well rested & ready to hopefully finish grid.

4:20 pm

lol, jes!

4:21 pm

hello Min! welcome to the grid!

4:21 pm

I've got a long way to go, 158 left, and time to go finish grocery putting away. See you all later!! (Bye, Stid, be well!)

I am down to 205! *silly mama grin*

4:23 pm

ty lynxxx

4:24 pm

Hello stidmama!I'm that sure you'll race right past me

4:25 pm

HI stid. Glad to see that things are going better for you. Congratulations to both your boys!

4:26 pm

I love it when parents are happy with "ok" when their kid really struggles to get that much

4:26 pm

hey Bugs! thanks. ((((BIG hug)))) I met with the troublesome classmate and one of our teachers last night and I think things will be okay now.

4:26 pm

yes, and it's funny how easy it is for me to be happy with their effort and how hard it is for me to be okay with what I perceive as my own mediocre performance.

4:27 pm

I am glad for you. I had a horrible classmate too and the teachers knew what the dynamics were with her so they did not penalize me.

4:27 pm

stidkid #2 says thanks for the congrats. He is pleased (I think) that he did it.

4:27 pm

ra6/33?

4:27 pm

ROFL I do the same thing all the time - judging myself much harder than I would ever judge someone else

4:28 pm

He should be pleased. Competitions are not easy because of the pressure

4:28 pm

ra6.33 to make uncommon

4:28 pm

he was more nervous than I had ever seen him, and he does a lot of public perfomances and such.

4:29 pm

thansk for the RA!

4:29 pm

I am now presented with the choice to babble... or to eat the pizza Tom just brought me. I think pizza wins! LOL

4:29 pm

see you-all again soon. Down to 172

4:29 pm

heh. have fun, sti

4:29 pm

4:29 pm

Looks like a hot day coming up, better get Stew walked now. Bye everyone

4:32 pm

Goodbye lynxxx! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log

4:37 pm

wow. apparently computers just hate me all around today. the newest update firefox forced on me falls on it's face trying to open lickety :(

4:37 pm

fo 6/27?

4:37 pm

i give up and am wandering off before i dropkick the 'puter.

4:37 pm

A list is in babanon

4:38 pm

Goodbye jesdraggon! I'll see you later in the chat log!

4:38 pm

lickety is troublesome for most

4:38 pm

did you try saving it first, jes?

4:38 pm

saving what, nan?

4:39 pm

all he did was change the bg colour

4:39 pm

enemy: fo* + ***l, dark and handsome

4:39 pm

ty -- forgot the alt. sp.

4:40 pm

not blaming lickety! firefox just updated itself and now when i try to open the page, it gets stuck in a loop asking me about accepting the same 2 cookies over again infinitely.

4:41 pm

lickety asks me to download a file to see the clues

4:41 pm

I use firefox

4:42 pm

huh. when did tat start, bab? it's never done that to me before, i just assumed it was the latest update.

4:42 pm

My Lickety page is no longer white. The background is beige/tan. Did anyone else's Lickety page change?

4:42 pm

has always been yellow for me, minver.

4:42 pm

I do not use expert ... last night was the first and only time

4:42 pm

mines the same

4:43 pm

i've never used lickety's separate thing, just the webpage

4:43 pm

Yes, that happened to me today also. I chose to run the file instead of downloading it. Maybe that is why the color's different.Maybe Lickety updated program

4:43 pm

me too, jes ... had to download the file

4:44 pm

first la 5?

4:44 pm

weird

4:44 pm

yes, guess I am

4:44 pm

first one i have is even less on time, nan

4:59 pm

Hope they come back ... many rated teams are in trouble today

5:00 pm

Wrote on FaceBook today I was glad baseball season is over, but aboslutely dreading the football season.

5:00 pm

I sure hope so...

5:00 pm

okay, sorry I'm asking what I'm sure many have already asked, but what is the deal with Lickety today?

5:00 pm

...and to think I can't watch it here at home (was on at the restaurant where the party was)...so you'll have to keep me posted, BR! :)

5:00 pm

Nrkii, you should get a message box that asks if you want to open or save babbleclues from google go cites. say open and the clues will appear.

5:03 pm

did the program change, lbd, to cause the new d/l?

5:03 pm

ty ruru

5:03 pm

thx ru :)

5:03 pm

of course that's assuming you have expert

5:04 pm

I think Lickety may have been tweeking his site and program, for the change.

5:04 pm

I don't have expert

5:04 pm

I do not have BE, and I still had to do the same thing.

5:04 pm

gotcha

5:05 pm

ah, that worked... cool, 43 to go and at the "wall"

5:05 pm

Not sure why we have to do that extra step to open Lickety's List, but still grateful to Lickety for his list.

5:05 pm

I thought I remembered right, Brookie. A friend gave me a garlic press and small spatula from pampered chef. I love them both

5:27 pm

peri, i'm glad you like the tools. you can also crush bouillon cubes with the garlic press, and make "hair" out of playdough with it. Also good for crushing ginger.

5:27 pm

5:28 pm

thantks Brookie, did not think to use in on ginger

only just passed halfway here, OY

5:46 pm

i was getting the read stripes too so i wondered

5:49 pm

hello everyone. I saw that lots of babblers had trouble with lickety's clue site. Me too. I am a Mac user. Is there an easy way to rectify this situation? Thanks.

5:51 pm

Hello, helenary. My take is the problem is with Lickety's program.

5:52 pm

thanks BR. i guess he'll fix it.

5:52 pm

hi helen

5:53 pm

hello. helen i have a mac and i opened lickety's by downloading something

5:53 pm

what did you download Dorens?

hello all

5:53 pm

babble, I heard last night that rudy died yesterday. I am missing him a lot. just heard from him last a couple of weeks ago

5:54 pm

So, sorry, Dorens

5:54 pm

Not sure helen, i had a window that opened and asked if I wanted to download the clues when I tried to open them hi owl

5:54 pm

hi TO

5:54 pm

feeling better?

5:54 pm

Do you use Expert, helen?

who is rudy, doren?

i got the same message, dorens. i said yes, and it opened a new pbrowser page, which i closed. no biggie

5:55 pm

not sure BR..how do i work that our..i think i have Expert from ages ago

5:56 pm

a very dear and unusual friend of mine, who moved to spain several years ago. He told me this summer he had a brain tumor, but didn't go into specifics. He died yesterday, fortunately his girlfriend (who I never met) sent an email a few hours later. so at least I know.

5:56 pm

I do not use expert. If all else fails, a list is in babanon

5:56 pm

thank BR

doren> i am sorry

i'm using Expert and i got the message

5:57 pm

sorry dorens

5:57 pm

i don't have babble expert... macs can't get it... but regular lickety's list did open for me when I said yes... not sure why some of can and some can't

5:58 pm

help with the Ns pls

5:58 pm

thanks all. i'm sitting in the kichen in Cambridge with my grandchildren playing peacefully (the baby making beautifully happy noises) and I'm getting a few words in here and feeling a bit sad, even tho i'm surrounded by happiness. I've been missing him for years, but now it is final. a sad part of life

na4/6, there is na** a clue to give you that won't give it away

6:25 pm

Hello all :)

6:25 pm

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

6:27 pm

lickety is working, just that you need to download the clues now, not sure why

6:27 pm

which makes expert not work properly as far as i know.

6:28 pm

as for the person himself, no i have not heard anything new.

6:28 pm

I know, zooz -- I emailed him about the problem last night

6:28 pm

I was given the option to download or run program.I ran it instead of downloading it and it worked for me

6:29 pm

mine just say `open, save, cancel...no option for running, so it will only open in aa new window.

6:30 pm

same here

6:30 pm

min, do you use Expert?

6:30 pm

or do you have a Mac?

6:32 pm

Maybe I opened Lickety instead of running it. It was this morning hours ago, so I do not really remember.

6:32 pm

I do not have BabbleExpert and I do not have a mac.

6:33 pm

thanks, min -- so this doesn't make that much difference to you.

6:34 pm

I do not really care how program works, as long as it DOES work! I'm still so grateful to Lickety for his list.

6:35 pm

I'm doubly grateful to Lickety for Expert, which makes things so much simpler, and it really hurts when it's not working properly!

6:36 pm

but at least we can still get the list

6:54 pm

Spoodle. I knew it was a poodle cross.

6:54 pm

I thought he had spaniel in him. Could tell by the ears

6:55 pm

he will not be very big, but has is doubled his size in a month

6:55 pm

Check the size of his feet, Andree. It's usually a good indicator for adult size.

6:56 pm

Oops! PB for me. *slinks off*

7:34 pm

see you la*** alligator

Hi Jac & harp

7:35 pm

oops, sorry that's the last la5, the first one is la + ***ses pieces.

7:35 pm

Oh I thought Sunday themes were always something you are grateful for or a babble blessing/good news.

7:35 pm

thanks

7:35 pm

yw

7:35 pm

Min - it's x-rays or the normal theme.

7:36 pm

Although, x-rays are good news in their own way.

7:36 pm

Guess it would depend on the results of the x-ray Jac

7:37 pm

True, Min, but at least things can be diagnosed with x-rays, unlike before.

7:38 pm

That's true too Jacula. Glad there's an alternative to tomorrow's theme.Wish it was like that every Sunday

7:38 pm

I know what you mean, Min!

7:39 pm

Think X-rays was an icon theme not too long ago too.

7:39 pm

But, trying to find a positive amongst negatives is a good thing, even if it's only something small like the pleasure of the sun on your face, joy at the sight of autumn colours or something.

7:40 pm

i thought you were grateful for x rays?

7:40 pm

I am Min. LOL

7:40 pm

Yes! I believe the glass is ALWAYS half full not empty.

7:41 pm

I was trying to say that if anyone finds it difficult to be grateful for something every Sunday, they should perhaps look to the small things.

7:41 pm

Glad to hear it, Min.

7:44 pm

I'm going to nip off to play the word games Babbler Hydra has going with me on F/B, since no one seems to need clues at present.

bye Jac

7:45 pm

Adios Jacula! Have fun playing your FaceBook games.

7:45 pm

thanks dawg!

STIDDY!!

7:50 pm

Hi Stiddy!! it's windy and wet is predicted

7:50 pm

Hi stidmama! How are you? Welcome back to the grid

7:51 pm

you're in for a LOT of that I am afraid LBD.

aaww it is sunny & lovely here! (0:

7:51 pm

sunny and lovely is a mere memory, lindy! LOL

7:51 pm

yeah, that's what the weather liars have been saying, stid. and the satelight pics confirm it.

but there is snow in Ottawa, so I am told!

7:52 pm

I am not sure when things will change for us, LBD. I can go look if you like?

for some reason, clues aren't opening in my babble expert. Hi Everyone!

hi Autumn, how ya doin?

7:53 pm

Hello autumn moon! How are you?Welcome to the grid

7:53 pm

no problem stid. it's november, it's Montana, it's a crap shoot when it comes to the weather.

(I miss Lind's Canada Flag)

7:53 pm

Hi Autumn

7:53 pm

hello autumn!~

7:53 pm

Others have had problems w/Lickety's Autumn moon.

Things are good... oh, gotta get supper, back in about 5 minutes

getting prepared autumn

7:54 pm

autumn try opening up lickety's list from the web, when it says do you want to run babbleclues, click run

7:54 pm

yep, that's about how I feel about it LBD -- I just hope we don't have completely rotten weather this coming week (wet is okay, stormy not). I have a lot of driving I need to do.

7:55 pm

ugh, i'm not thrilled about driving in the icy weather. going to work at o'dark early isn't bad, but coming home with traffic is the pits

yuck I hate early mornings whatever the weather!

I read back a little - yes, Lind, there is snow in Ottawa. And guess where I'm going on the 19th

oh joy! lol

7:56 pm

i like mornings, get a start on stuff, but in the winter it's kinda dicey. roads aren't cleared when i leave for work, so...

But, that also means I don't know if I'll drive down to Napanee to meet up with you

I like mornings between midnight & 3am! lol

7:57 pm

I like mornings, I like to do things in the morning and then have the afternoon to nap, and then do more in the evenings. Not a common schedule, and not possible these days!

7:57 pm

oooh lindy! that's way too past my bedtime!

I'm a morning person - even on the weekends I am up before 7

7:57 pm

lol, yeah, i've worked that shift a time or two these last two weeks.

Yeah autumn I have sold my snow ty**s now

7:58 pm

I am a morning person

7:58 pm

hey DR!

hey DR how are you?

7:58 pm

I need one more tile for NBT.

7:58 pm

thanks for the ty word!

7:58 pm

7:58 pm

you too DR!

Hi DR

8:00 pm

YES! NBT!

8:00 pm

i didn't say we stayed that way, but i think we all have had to do the o'dark early shifts with kids, whether they're sick or out, or just babies.

8:00 pm

this grid is not friendly

Autumn, I have so much to cram in now too, I have visitors coming now aswell! (0:

8:00 pm

8:00 pm

8:00 pm

WOOHOO Stid! Yea for NBT

8:00 pm

8:01 pm

YUMMM!

8:01 pm

that sounds very fancy, autumn! we had homemade pizza for a very early supper.

8:01 pm

sounds good Autumn- we are having bbq steak and baked potatoes with broccoli and salad

8:01 pm

I am considering getting the younger stidkid to help me make some pumpkin pudding (my piecrusts stink).

8:01 pm

i made chicken enchilada cassarole with black beans

the fish part sounds fancy - it required no actual work.

8:02 pm

wow- everyone's food sounds so good

you are all making me hungry now! lol

8:02 pm

actually, that sounds like exactly what I want to do... have to cut the pumpkin first. back later to try for halfway.

8:03 pm

my crusts always end up soggy. going to try to blind bake one monday or tuesday.

8:03 pm

((((((hugs all))))))) thanks for being here!

8:03 pm

blind bake, LBD?

8:03 pm

????????????

later stid

8:03 pm

make the crust and bake it first with beans or rice in it so it wont bubble

what kind of pie are you making lbd?

8:04 pm

gotta try out a new pumpkin pie recipe, autumn

8:04 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log

8:04 pm

Hello Tella!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

8:04 pm

nighters, stiddy

oohh talking of food, did you hear what I got as a leaving gift from work?

soggy crusts are from too much liquid in the filling or too hot an oven if the recipe doesn't tell you to blind bake the crust first

8:05 pm

8:45 pm

and, yes, its *wet* here...

8:46 pm

I took a nap today too -- was up at my normal (early) time to get kid to his taekwondo tournament. He did well in his event, and with the wet dismal weather my energy level is down. Studying is harder for me in this weather.

8:46 pm

gutters were overflowing a few minutes ago...

8:47 pm

I haven't looked at our gutters today. Hoping the fig leaves haven't clogged the one by my bedroom though.

8:47 pm

stid you need to get an ott light, a full spectrum lamp

8:48 pm

I have one, in the office that also has a skylight. But not home much and it takes a long time to come full on. And today my hip really didn't want to sit in the office chair. *whine whine* tomorrow maybe

8:52 pm

8:53 pm

8:53 pm

go everyone go!!!!

8:53 pm

I'm really suffering from Broken Expert :(

8:53 pm

You are right jillibus.ar6/24 is a blood vessel. Thanks

8:53 pm

gah. not happy that i can't use lickety :(

8:53 pm

me too jes. does anyone know what happened to the code?

8:53 pm

Why don't you just go onto regular internet & babble

8:53 pm

Mixed weather here. Grid was fairly easy but had to do it in dribs and drabs throughout a busy day.

8:54 pm

hello Jac!

8:54 pm

I had to d/l something to get mine working...and it's doing ok (I have "expert")

8:54 pm

i am, min

8:54 pm

y'all just need to go to lickety's page and click on the little box that pops up asking you if you want to run or save babble clues. click run.

8:54 pm

jes, you can -- just go down to Lickety's Babble Clues and open in a new window, then clik Open in the square that comes up.

8:54 pm

it won't work for me :(

8:54 pm

I can but the stats into my profile if those that can't get Lickety need them. I believe they're already in BabAnon though.

8:54 pm

lbd, we don't get the Run choice.

8:55 pm

I'll put the stats ub my profile then, shall I?

8:55 pm

i'm usng babanon, it's just that i'm incredibly lazy and the extra step of figuring out where on the list things go is wearing me out

8:56 pm

do you get the save option? you can do that, then go into whereever you saved it and click on that.

8:56 pm

Anyway, I emailed Lickety about it last night when it was about 7:30 pm Aussie time, and I just emailed mrp too incase he hadn't checked his email.

8:56 pm

et7?

8:56 pm

et7, forever!

8:56 pm

That et 7/28 word means forever kje.

8:56 pm

Forever ..

8:56 pm

et7 = forever

8:56 pm

oh, snap peeps!

8:57 pm

thanks for that ET!

8:57 pm

duh! TY!!!

8:58 pm

the big el's?

8:58 pm

will you be et7ly grateful to us, kje? lol

8:58 pm

I can get the list, but in a separate window, and toggling back and forth, entering twice, etc, is SO tedious, when I've been a spoiled brat with easy Expert.

8:59 pm

e+ not early

8:59 pm

el 5/16 is Santa's helper plus opposite of out Pinikula.

8:59 pm

thx lbd ;)

8:59 pm

el 5/10 is e plus la 4/4 word and el 6/18 adds a snake

8:59 pm

thx min ;)

9:00 pm

yw

9:00 pm

er6? fish?

9:00 pm

trouble is too, if I go elsewhere and open a browser page it wipes out the list, and I have to Bulk Add all over again.

9:00 pm

er+ **** and rave

9:00 pm

er6/18 is er plus ra4/4 word Pinikula;not really a fish

9:01 pm

hope lickety gets it fixed, i didn't have any problems getting it to open up in expert.

9:01 pm

Stats are now in my profile if anyone wants them.

9:01 pm

thx again, min ;)

9:01 pm

yw

9:01 pm

E's executed ;)

9:01 pm

Save them to notepad or word and then you minimise them in another window.

9:02 pm

Excellent Pinikula!

9:02 pm

lbd, did you have to Save? I think you said you could just hit Run, but I don't get that choice.

9:03 pm

Jac, you don't use Expert so you don't realise what we're missing!

9:03 pm

i saved it the first time, but when i checked licket's page, i just hit run.

9:03 pm

or - when it pops up, hit save... then drag icon from the desktop into the space where the clues should be in expert, and they will open up

9:04 pm

Talking to myself I see (wouldn't be th first time). Anyway, stats ARE in my profile if it's easier for anyone.

9:05 pm

Mind you, I don't use 'expert', so have never relied on it.

9:05 pm

lbd, I don't see Run on Lickety's page anywhere.

9:05 pm

I heard ya, jac...but my expert's working, so I'm good...sorry! :) (thx for helping out tho)!

9:05 pm

a box should pop up on your screen, Jilli.

9:05 pm

Thanks for 'seeing' me, Pini!

9:05 pm

fo6? does it extend the fo4?

9:05 pm

thanks Jac, for posting the stats

9:06 pm

Very kind of you, jac, but they're in BabAnon too.

9:06 pm

y/w, Stid.

9:06 pm

Jilli - I know, but not everyone knows how to access BabAnon.

9:06 pm

pini, extra vowel for unborn baby

9:06 pm

fo 6/27 is enemy plus I'm ***ler than my sister Pinikula

9:07 pm

pini -- your Expert's working? Complete with the list and Lickety Add putting words in it?

9:07 pm

thx min...(I'm ***ler than both of my sisters and my mother)

9:07 pm

Actually I lied.That was just a clue. I am the shortest

9:07 pm

yes, jilli ;)

9:07 pm

ah, I see, jac -- doubly kind of you :)

9:07 pm

LOL, Min.

9:08 pm

brb

9:08 pm

How come, pini? What did you do to get it that way? Mine worked just fine last night until I shut down and came back.

9:08 pm

jilli - take care, or I might play rock music at you. *Cackles evilly.*

9:08 pm

LOL Min! I am the smallest in my family, too -- or was, until my mother started to shrink. *sad daughter look* I wish she weren't slumping.

9:08 pm

fo7?

9:09 pm

raced along before, kje.

9:09 pm

when I opened expert earlier, a dialog box popped up over it saying I needed to save or run something...I hit run...and Lickety popped up ;)

9:09 pm

fo7 -- what a golfer yells + the winner *** a great race

9:09 pm

hm. maybe I will try opening expert again. brb

9:09 pm

thx for the fo7 :)

9:09 pm

thanks for the fo 7

9:10 pm

hi guys

9:10 pm

hi dorens ;)

9:10 pm

stid - just use the list.

9:10 pm

fr5? fish?

9:10 pm

Pini, some of us don't get that box with the Run choice. We get Open, Save, or Cancel.

9:10 pm

common babblet pini

9:11 pm

Hi Dorens. I haven't forgotten about inviting you to my blog, just haven't been in there to update it recently post holiday.

9:11 pm

I see, jilli...I'm going to restart and see what else I might get...one moment please...

9:11 pm

I will Jac -- just wanted to know if it would work. It didn't.

9:11 pm

That fr 5/16 word is fr plus iron *** Piniukla.

9:11 pm

DOREN!!!! what are you doing up so late, young lady???

9:11 pm

9:11 pm

Hello Dorens!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:11 pm

9:12 pm

I believe it's Remembrance Day in the UK

9:12 pm

holiday=vacation there, stid.

9:12 pm

That is mighty fine!

9:12 pm

The holiday was amusing, Dorens. I loved how Step's few months older cousin disciplined her before we could.

9:12 pm

late? it's 10:12 pm here stid. just finally got the baby back to sleep (visiting the grands)

9:12 pm

glad someone did jac.. good that she came along then

9:12 pm

Prince Charles and Camilla are in Victoria, and they're wearing two kinds of poppy -- ours and a slightly different one.

9:13 pm

oh. hope all is well and they are as darling as can be?

9:13 pm

Question for those with expert...when expert is open, if you "refresh clues" do you get a pop-up dialog?

9:13 pm

Is there a baby monitor in Penalty Box for Dorens?

9:13 pm

our Victoria? they're here?

9:13 pm

this baby Levi is just too adorable for words.. singing and gurgling away.. never quiet

9:13 pm

LOL what a sweet sort of child to babysit!

9:14 pm

wait, min... stid said it first!!! put her in the pb

9:14 pm

Yes, stid, and will be attending the church where my bro-and-sis-in-law are regulars (Christ Church Cathedral) on Sunday.

9:14 pm

Okay stidmama, off you go!

9:14 pm

jilli that is really somthing!!

9:14 pm

that's pretty nifty jill!

9:14 pm

It is, jilli. The army guys in the local market town were joined by a man in Guy Fawkes guise today who stuck up a notice saying 'Penny For The Guy' over their notice and then sat down beside them under the statue of Housman, the poet.

9:14 pm

did I miss the fr5 clue?

9:15 pm

fr + iron ***

9:15 pm

I did? oh. okay... *wanders into PB and takes lovely dark choclit with me*

9:15 pm

That fr 5/16 word is fr plus iron *** Piniukla.

9:15 pm

may i have a clue for the second re 7/28 please?

9:15 pm

It wasn't straying away from the poppy fund, he was a soldier who'd decided to try for the old way.

9:15 pm

oooh, got it!!! F's frozen!

9:16 pm

Um, jac, what is your icon about?

9:16 pm

re7/28:someone who sells houses minus letter Dorens

9:16 pm

Any developments on the Lickety problem?

9:16 pm

9:16 pm

oh well, then I'll join you stid, for the choclit

9:16 pm

Fantablulous Piniukla!

9:16 pm

*shares choclits with Doren*

9:16 pm

9:16 pm

9:18 pm

9:18 pm

9:18 pm

Thank you, Pinikula!!

9:18 pm

Erda, i don't think it's been resolved yet. many are still having issues.

9:18 pm

9:19 pm

(it seems it's working for some, but not others)

9:19 pm

y/w jilli.

9:20 pm

Erda - if you need a list there is one in my profile - just click on me.

9:20 pm

I'll come back later, then -- thank you

9:20 pm

My goodness, jac -- how very scary and interesting!

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

so glad she survived that "boo boo"

9:20 pm

1st la5/10? fish?

9:20 pm

Cool, stid? I still have nightmares about it.

9:20 pm

9:23 pm

9:23 pm

9:23 pm

Stid - my daughter (now 22) has a Mini and drives like a maniac. If I didn't have naturally low blood pressure, it'd be off the scale by now.

9:26 pm

Hello mkg! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

Luckily Google is providing redirects, so ...

9:26 pm

wow lickety. *astonished look*

Hopefully in about 2 hours all should be working again.

9:27 pm

NOT just for us, I hope? you have extra motives?

9:27 pm

Do you need donations for that, Lickety?

9:27 pm

so, what you're saying is to not give up hope!!!!

9:27 pm

lickety you provide us with a wonderful wonderful tool without which it is hard to do the grid.

9:27 pm

thanks, Jac, I was going to ask the same thing

still go a little bit of work to do - for future grids etc, but it should be all operationaly shortly.

9:27 pm

i am very appreciative to you lickety.

9:27 pm

lickety... we (speak for myself, maybe) would be happy to help pay for that

9:27 pm

((((((((LICKETY)))))))) you are the BEST!!!! *scatters choclits liberally*

9:27 pm

* please let us know what we can do to help *

9:27 pm

i concur with dorens, lickety.

9:27 pm

I don't use 'expert' nor even your list most of the time, but I'd pay a donation to help Babble, if needed.

I've never asked for donations, but I do have a paypal account with same name - @gmail.com

9:28 pm

9:31 pm

sorry to hear that, stidmama. hope you are on the upside too

9:31 pm

yeah!!!

hi all, good to *see* you all, and I have a question... I've never used lickety's clues but just saw Dorens say something about expert for macs... so I gather there is a different version for pcs?

9:32 pm

9:32 pm

Lickety, can you teach my computer how to fix itself

9:32 pm

guess i dont have the fe 4. sorry. wont work with my fe 4 7 words.

9:32 pm

thanks lickety... thanks ever so much... so often I think i don't have time... then i open your list and the last 30 or 50 or whatever seem to fly by

9:32 pm

I am joey, thanks. I am able to eat again, too, which helps. Apparently in the middle of all this I ate something that I am sensitive to and wasn't able to keep food down for a few days.

9:32 pm

Hello o2baflyndog! How are you? Welcome to the grid

I have a mac, and the clues list just seems really cumbersome... any solutions out there?

9:32 pm

fe+ **d roses, mkg

9:32 pm

FLYING DOG!!! ((((hugs and hugs)))) guess what?

hi min =) hi stid =)

what??

9:33 pm

become a PC, o2

9:33 pm

I have FINALLY trained Lucky to almost let me trim his toenails (it's been four years) -- I actually managed to wrestle him down under sedation last week and get the front ones done.

lol pini, nowaynohow!

9:33 pm

i find lickety's clues far from cumbersome.... they make all the difference in the world. expert apparently makes it even faster, but I'm oka without

9:33 pm

being able to eat is something which i have come to value very much. on the up side, i have lost almost 30 pounds, which is good for me

9:33 pm

I am SO proud of myself!

9:33 pm

then no help for you!!! :)

good job, stid! =)

9:33 pm

wtg stid! :)

aw, pini.

9:34 pm

could you take care of Koda's, too?

9:34 pm

sorry, o2 :)

maybe I'm just lazy dorens =)

9:34 pm

I hope that the weight loss isn't too draining, joey. Someone I know had a lot of trouble getting enough to eat during chemo.

9:34 pm

It was such a long haul, but that person is now better.

probably why I never finish a grid

9:34 pm

have you guys tried the pedipaw trimmer?

9:34 pm

but it's hard to have energy to do even little things when you have extended nutrition issues.

you sounded a little like the soup nazi there =)

9:35 pm

is it for cats, lbd, or just dogs?

9:35 pm

I can do Koda's nails no problem, pini. just come visit.

9:35 pm

who me????

9:35 pm

I might have to do that, stid!!!

9:35 pm

I could road test the "rig"!

the pedi paw is a weak version of the dremmel, the dremmel works a lot better on bigger dogs

9:35 pm

(the who me was for o2)

yeah, you!

9:35 pm

got the fe word. ty ty ty

9:35 pm

pini? a soup nazi? pini is a sweetheart

no soup for you!

9:36 pm

not sure Lucky would be sedatable enough for a POWER tool! LOL

yoking

9:36 pm

* ah shucks *

oh, always use the battery operated one, the corded one (dremmel) is too powerful

9:36 pm

(no harm, no foul, o2...just messin' back!)

9:36 pm

rollin in here

9:36 pm

I have the week before thanksgiving off, pini. Was going to take a small roadtrip to powell's again early that week (have to spend most of the week writing the final draft of the quarter's paper)

9:36 pm

hi Pitt!

9:37 pm

those guillatine (sp) clippers are scary to use. never liked them

and I find the dogs are actually better about it once they get used to it

9:37 pm

hey MPittore, haven't seen rolin yet

no chance of blood

9:37 pm

Hi MPitttore!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

I know, pini =)

9:37 pm

oooh, sounds like fun, stid...

9:37 pm

on the pedipaws many vets advise against it..produces heat in the dogs nail causing pain and damage

9:37 pm

I like the sharp pair I bought when Lucky first came to us, they don't pinch the way some do. But he's still having trouble with trust issues. He might always.

mpittore, I've been using the dremmel for 17 years no nail probs

9:38 pm

try sitting with him, and holding his paws as you would if you were trimming them, stid

9:38 pm

hi pini and stidmama

9:38 pm

speaking of Lucky -- he smells like a bean factory at the moment... *pinches nose* P.U.!

9:38 pm

rofl, stid

9:39 pm

I do, LBD, that's how we are getting better. At first the closest I could come was his elbow, then his wrist. Now I can count his toes and he will just watch. Until I actually hold them.

9:39 pm

fireworks

9:39 pm

Oh heck! I just went to open a bottle of Other Half's Shiraz and got the foil cutter and the corkescrew out only to discover it's now in a screw-top bottle. What is the world coming to??

9:39 pm

LOL!Thought MPittore was announcing that she was rolling into the chat log.Didn't realize she was asking about another babbler. No,I have not seen rolin here

9:39 pm

mkg, are you still working on the 8's?

9:39 pm

question...if it's raining this hard tmw, do I have to go teach my workshop???

9:39 pm

YAY DOREN!!!!

9:39 pm

what are you teaching it on, pini?

9:39 pm

maybe the dremmel and pedipaw have different revolutions per minute ...could that be?

good job dorens!

9:40 pm

Congratulations Dorens on fireworks! Hooray for you

9:40 pm

VB Scorekeeper's workshop

9:40 pm

Oh, Pini, I loved volleyball! Was on the team in HS, played a little in college, even reffed a few games

9:42 pm

oh pini! did you hear stidkid #2 participated in his first taekwondo tournament and got third place for "form" (it's called poomse)? He was nervous... and he downplayed it because there were "only" three competitors in his group, but I am just so proud of him I could burst my buttons!

9:42 pm

it's a blast, JB!

9:43 pm

i'm not doing so good on this one 171 left...low energy today...it was a busy but good one...

9:43 pm

the last VB experience I remember was in 7th grade and the ball hit me on the head. I didn't play after that, I think.

9:43 pm

whooooo hooooo JB!!

9:43 pm

please extend my congrats to stidkid2!!!! very good job!

9:43 pm

Poomse? what a cute name (for a cat!)

9:43 pm

LBD!!!

9:43 pm

"flart" an explosive methane emission?

9:43 pm

I hate all forms of sport that being tall is an advantage in.

9:44 pm

Not to downplay the stidkid2 accomplishment, but still giggling about poomse

9:44 pm

flart - explosive art.. like pollock

9:44 pm

you have plenty of cluers... i'm off to bed now... happy babbles all

9:44 pm

oh, it's kinda on the funny side, jac...in that I'm tall, but NEVER actually played VB!!!

9:44 pm

I loved it when there was a man playing professional basketball over here who was as tall as I am (5'4)
