I cr6'ed what I'm wearing!

instead of having toast!

12:18 am

No complaints, jilli. Very productive day today.

after work, got in about 4am, too wound up to sleep!

12:18 am

(my dau called right at flip and asked me too look for something tonight before I go to bed because she really wants me loan it to her tomorrow when I see her...why do they wait until bedtime???)

I have the cr6, er6, fa6, and the re6 what am I missing?

and while at work, felt a need for one of these, so yeah, how I have one for next time, lol!

12:20 am

what did you produce, nonnie?

12:20 am

Tell her, "it's babble-time, so arrive a little earlier, and find it for yourself" Mums gotta be strict with their offspring!!

12:20 am

Probably mulling over that next day's tasks and popped into her head, pini. :o)

12:21 am

I took some time to look...didn't see it...going to tell her to stop by and help look for it tmw after we get back into town...if she wants it that bad! :)

12:22 am

* putting foot down *

12:22 am

ok, now that we've eaten our rainbow sherbet...hmmm 62?

Could I get a clue for cu and er6 please?

12:33 am

er6 is like an explosion with a one letter change

12:33 am

er6 = pl girl's name

or like something upright with one letter change

12:33 am

that's er5, isn't it, ruru?

12:33 am

Well, my brain's sleeping - I've just realized I haven't eaten today - so I'll scounge up someting, then think Latin thoughts, ruru.

12:33 am

oh it is'

12:33 am

er 6 is plural of a woman's name

12:34 am

Thanks Christine :o) I needed that one.

12:35 am

I had the er5, looked for an er6, and forgot to move the cursor.

12:35 am

I told y'all, my brain's hungry.

12:36 am

Any food in the PB?

12:36 am

Since I am not good in languages I need another clue for cu6, please?

12:36 am

6/24

12:36 am

cu6/24

12:36 am

mostly vowells

12:36 am

I'm rather surprised they're doing it...

12:50 am

(airing the show)

12:50 am

is that filmed in Arkansas pini?

see that orb on the left side of my head, Pini??

12:50 am

apparently filmed in Utah

12:50 am

orb?

12:50 am

What the heck would induce a woman to marry a man with one or two wives? We divorce these people.

oh bloody hell, really ruru??

12:50 am

oh, yeah...

not that I would ever get married, but I support anyone else's right to!!

12:51 am

i see it, geo

12:51 am

Not enough men for the wives to each have oine?

they don't all do that, Christine, not here, think they do in some part of the US though!?

12:51 am

well, apparently women outnumber men in general...

12:51 am

that isn't the problem christine

12:51 am

But 4 to one?

12:52 am

the whole thing is sicko

12:52 am

Although --- it would be nice to have a wife to clewanup around here.

12:52 am

4 wives... please commit me to an insane asylum

12:52 am

according to the trailer, he has 3 wives and #13 child is on the way...and they all live together...

12:52 am

*clean

ha, ha!

12:52 am

lol Christine

one's enough, eh?

12:53 am

12:54 am

he's having doggy dreams, ha!

12:56 am

Chasing bunnies

12:57 am

no, I'm good...

12:57 am

...have plenty of time to find the rest, jilli...thx tho

12:57 am

She may have been part of the Willie and Martin handcart company. There were a lot of immigrants from England who traveled and sacrificed greatly for their beliefs.

12:57 am

down to last 15...don't see them

12:58 am

I should be bailing as it is...have a 3 hr RT drive tomorrow...

12:58 am

I'm stuck at 13.

12:58 am

RT?

return trip?

12:58 am

round trip

12:59 am

RT = round trip

12:59 am

fireworks

yeah, same thing

12:59 am

wtg flosey

Last clue I need is co5/16, please?

12:59 am

YAY flosey!!!

12:59 am

so, basically...1.5 hours out and 1.5 hours back

12:59 am

co 5/16:I am on clo** nine plus a vowel Marc Freeman

1:00 am

that was my last word, monkeyed it

1:00 am

Congratulations flosey on your fireworks! Way to go!

I know jilli but I think I'm just monkeying with my monkey now.

ta, Minveryork--what an odd word!?

1:00 am

co5/16 -- I would of I co*l* + vowel

1:00 am

if, not of

1:00 am

tyty

1:00 am

I am done! I have fireworks!ur5/14 was my last word

1:01 am

wtg Min

1:01 am

NonnieLight - I think she was a housemaid, in the Liverpool area of England, and the Mormons were looking for women to come to US (also men, I guess). And I guess life was so hard in England, anything sounded better. But, I've seen a program about that trek, andd I think many people died on the way.

congrats min!

thanks got it

1:01 am

YAY min!!!

1:01 am

well done more finishers ;)

1:01 am

Now what will I do w/my day when I arise in morning?

21 left, stuck

1:02 am

..and, on that note, I think I'm outta here for tonight...

and want to go to sleep!!

1:02 am

cya'll tmw! :)

1:02 am

I believe this is the earliest that I have ever finished

Goodbye Pinikula! I'll see you later on in the chat log.

1:02 am

night Pini!

who may??

1:02 am

Yes, many lost their lives. It was a difficult trek. Especially for those who traveled by handcart. Not many supplies can be put in a handcart and even if they could, then they have to be hauled across rough terrain. I can't even begin to imagine...

1:02 am

hi pav

not me, m8, got plenty to do, ha!

1:03 am

I'm going to do any kind of chores, should do mine 1st

1:03 am

7

1:03 am

did the mormans originate in England? or did they come to join the group already in US

1:03 am

I guess I will be doing a lot of letterbloxing tomorrow.

1:03 am

Go PAV3 go!

1:03 am

I have stuff to do tomorrow -- calendars for the Seniors' Society...

1:03 am

well hi there Dame Jilli...all done I suppose?

Joined group already in the US

1:04 am

ah, thanks

1:04 am

yes, pav :)

1:04 am

but I keep looking at the grid thinking I need to find more words

1:04 am

I got things to do tomorrow too,like clean, but don't want to. Maybe I'll spend extra time at the dog park.

11 and counting

1:05 am

feels odd doesn't it

1:05 am

When my sister started the family search, she found an entry for the wife of our gr.gr.something, and dItalian who came to England in the early 1800s. It was posted on the Mormon site, but there's no mention of the woman who came to US.

1:05 am

1:07 am

www.jigzone.com

That is too bad, Christine. It would be interesting to see where she may have ended up here in the states.

1:07 am

Everyone, Judith is my middlesister, little sister Marianne (in UK) used to play, but drifted away from us.

ooh, I like that icon, Jill!!

Hello Judith...very nice to meet you!

oh yeah, Christine? my sis babbles as well!

1:08 am

My Dad told me about her, years ago, but at that time we were not especially interested in researching the family. And now he's gone, so ...

1:08 am

3

1:08 am

I did too, george :)

1:09 am

Siobahn, right?

yeah, how'd you know??

1:09 am

I'm someone's Mother, so I know everything!!

ha, ha! yeah, that's what she says!!

lol, she accidently logged on as you one night George while she was staying at your place.

bet ya don't, though!

1:10 am

Judith, ante-up $15. and you canhave a kewl icon, and write-up in your profile.

oh yeah? musta been last week? think it was, she and my niece stopped over

1:10 am

George, about 2weeks ago, Jillibus mentioned her.

yeah, could be that long ago now, time flies!

1:11 am

I did? I've never let on that Siobhan is George's sister.

1:11 am

Judith, how many words do you have?

1:14 am

I'm confused by all that effing

1:14 am

pav there is a fa4 before the fa5

Christine, one night when my mother-in-law were together she jotted down about 2-3 generations of who "begat" whom and did I think to get a copy of that? Of course not! Funny how things that didn't seem important then are treasures now.

A lot of work, Christine but a person can find some very interesting stuff. I found a photo image of my grandfather's draft card. It was neat to see something in his own handwriting.

congrats pav

1:21 am

thanks...off to watch hulu..or a movie...

1:23 am

NonnieLight - I googled Willi and Martin Handcart Company, and it state of 2962, 250 died on the trail. I thought it was a higher number.

I thought is was a higher number also.

1:24 am

I've bookmarked the page, so I'll check it later.

1:25 am

Of course, 250 is a high number, but I thought it was closer to 50%.

7 to go

I'm calling it a night. The last 5 will have to wait until later. Good night all.

1:35 am

I'm falling asleep - the warmtn of the laptop on my tummy. Goodnight all. Judith, goodnight, God bless. talk to you tomorrow?

1:36 am

thanks

3:18 am

tiny grid for a sunday. And good morning

3:20 am

urshy, we had a visitor from Sa, from Plet, last week. He was an old biz colleague in the glass business in SA

3:20 am

it made me nostalgic for SAm, its great food and wonderful people!

3:20 am

SA*

3:22 am

all done the last one was a madam cu5/14

3:22 am

bye bye for now enjoy see all next time take care

3:25 am

t

3:32 am

half and I'll come back later with fresh eyes

3:32 am

*poof*

4:03 am

morning all

4:03 am

darn I missed lobo!

4:04 am

good morning sprite. How are you this cool, damp Sunday?

4:04 am

morning rubyfoo, am okish, and you?

4:05 am

not looking forward to winter and cold weather! But John is coming to visit on Wednesday for husband's birthday (probably, that is, as he's coming on standby)

4:05 am

so that should brighten things up a bit!

4:06 am

oh how lovely. Tell him hi, I still enjoy his music a lot. Very nice for husband that John is there for his BD too.

4:06 am

husband is having terrible back pain, new for him, a result of the dog attack when the dog took him down

4:06 am

yes, and nice for me to take some of the b-day pressure off

4:06 am

oh dang, that is awful.

4:06 am

his back hurts more than the bites did

4:07 am

he is taking MY pain killers as I always have back pain, but have learned to live with it

4:07 am

probably the place where most of the stress settled too :( If I can sit long enough, I will put up some Terra pics on flicker for your husband.

4:07 am

he is not accustomed to having pain

4:08 am

that might cheer him up as he is very depressed

4:08 am

that makes it harder on him... and on you. Pain is an energy devourer at best, and ruins your life at worst.

4:08 am

I ordered some fossils for him from England, but they still haven't arrived!

4:09 am

better start making a lovely page for him then, with pictures and the promise they are in the mail...

4:09 am

since I always have at least a little pain, I have learned to manage it and therefore live pretty well, just knowing my limitations. He thinks that if he pushes himself, it will go away. And, of course, he won't listen to me!

4:09 am

that's a good idea

4:10 am

I asked John to look for another fossil in Austin but I don't know if he'll have time

4:10 am

I know, living with pain is an art in itself. I never listened to anyone either, had to find out the hard way how to handle things. Just love him and in the meanwhile take good care of yourself.

4:11 am

I think he's part chow chow, same stubborness

4:11 am

9:42 am

Hi Mom

9:43 am

Good morning Boo. How are you?

9:43 am

hey all... another tiny grid, eh? I woke up early from coughing. I am worried that I might not make it in to teach tomorrow. That would be bad, since my professor is supposed to observe me. *sigh* on the other hand, I have not "rested" this weekend all that much. *whine whine whine*

9:44 am

{{{Stid}}}, what discipline and determination you have. I'm sorry about your cough

9:44 am

Stid, may I ask you a question about your cough?

9:44 am

I am great Mom and you

9:44 am

oh, just fine, thanks

9:44 am

sure Mom...

9:45 am

is it from a cold or are you just coughing?

9:45 am

hellooooo

9:45 am

have the flu, actually. :-( I hate teaching in a community so different and far from my own

9:45 am

hello Varumba

9:46 am

hey varumba

9:46 am

:) starting late today, but small grid... so mb i'll finish anyway ;)

9:46 am

oh okay, sorry about that. I was curious because of all the stess you are under.

9:47 am

you seem to be picking up every bug that is floating around, Stid

9:47 am

hello varumba

9:47 am

hi boo

9:48 am

clue for the second fa4/8

9:48 am

I used to, Mom -- but last year and the two years before I was generally much healthier than in the past. I really think it's because I don't live within 60 miles of the school I was placed at for the fall. Otherwise, I have been pretty healthy the last few years.

9:48 am

oops found it

9:49 am

Oh Stid, that is quite a drive

9:50 am

**crosses fingers** hope this is the last of your illnesses

9:50 am

yes, it was pretty stupid for me to accept this placement, but I really didn't know that it would be quite as difficult as it is. Oh well, only about 5 weeks to go.

9:51 am

I don't think it was stupid at all, Stid. You wouldn't have known otherwise and it might have always been in the back of your mind, should I have? Now you know.

9:53 am

Thanks Mom. Thing is, a woman my age probably ought to have thought more and been more assertive. I am still learning... probably a good model for my students!

9:54 am

ah. NBT! and down to 26. some of these tiles are really hiding a lot!

9:55 am

:-) ((Stid)) experience is a great teacher

9:55 am

congrats on NBT

9:55 am

what does NBT stand for?

9:55 am

No Blank Tiles

9:55 am

oooooh ok

9:56 am

9:58 am

9:59 am

can I help you at all Stid, I have lickety's list up

9:59 am

it's raining here today... yesterday was absolutely wonderful -- sunny, warm, calm. Today is just damp and gloomy. And we really did NOT need the rain. It's been one of the wettest Septembers I can remember (and I remembe quite a lot). LOL

9:59 am

why can't you use the list? I have a MAC & I use the list.

9:59 am

10:02 am

aha! got it!

10:02 am

10:02 am

10:02 am

NBT and half way

10:03 am

what does we 4 mean?

10:03 am

10:03 am

10:03 am

10:06 am

I got this mac because I need to have text at about 300% nowadays to make sense of it, and a non-glare screen. AND I need something that is stable. I never use IE, and only have MS Office products because they are expected from the faculty at my college. I prefer openoffice.

10:07 am

congrats, jeff, I have 18 to go

10:30 am

oh dear, that's no fun! poor ruby...

10:30 am

wtg jeff! ruby, apparently is'an obsolete word meaning loads of things, amongst which piracy, the act of seizing a booty etc lol

10:30 am

ruby, how close to Spain r u?

10:30 am

almost as far as you can get, lawyer, close to Geneva

10:31 am

aha, st the other end!

10:31 am

lawyer, I would love some help. I have two CA, one Ci, five CO a CR and four CU and my eyes are crossed!

10:31 am

why can't Italian hellos be plural?

10:31 am

I was in Geneva 2 years ago...next week we'll be in NW Spain

10:31 am

because it doesn't exist! plus would be ciai..... really weird, lol

10:32 am

ciao would become ciai in the plural...

10:32 am

best food in the world in Spain!!!

10:32 am

i agree, they know how to eat over there too ;)

10:33 am

I would never survive...

10:36 am

10:37 am

10:38 am

I'm stuck on the h and on the with-hand e. Anybody have a hint?

10:38 am

that sounds like a wonderful trip, lawyer

10:38 am

right-hand e is greek plural E letter

10:38 am

H is a word for those who inherit

10:38 am

the h gets your money when u die

10:38 am

that's right-hand e*

10:39 am

the h is the person who gets the loot when you die

10:39 am

slap me with a mackerel!

10:39 am

>*)--((((((---<< THWACK

10:39 am

10:40 am

all three are ER, two 5s and a 6

10:40 am

10:40 am

the other is a woman's name, means the plant family that heather is in, and plural

10:40 am

10:42 am

hi m9

10:42 am

10:43 am

firewords.... WHY did I not figure out that asking for the good-bye plural implied the singular was there?!?

10:43 am

hey m, hi good!

10:43 am

lolol stid congrats!

10:43 am

hi stid

10:43 am

WTG stid!!!

10:45 am

m, why do you have alan rickman in your icon?

10:46 am

theme was books made into good movies.

10:46 am

in this pic he's colonal Brandon

10:46 am

SEnse and sensibility.

10:47 am

stid, why do you have some hot mama in your icon?

10:48 am

fe5/20?

10:49 am

nm, found it

10:49 am

10:50 am

10:51 am

10:51 am

Whoo Hoo varumba!!!!

10:55 am

YAY varumba! see you next ime

10:58 am

I don't know.... I was looking for wingdings...

10:59 am

how are things going anyway?? you getting any rest?

10:59 am

hi all

11:00 am

another small grid

11:00 am

Sumo wrestlers on vacation bowling au nauturale dressed only in tattoos is weird

11:00 am

hi, ardilla, m9, stid, et al

11:01 am

that blue kimono looks great on you, adilla :)

11:01 am

seain, was reading yesterday about the stinkbugs in DC -- what's up with THAT?! LOL

11:01 am

we have stink bugs and ragweed in droves

11:01 am

even more stinkbugs than last year

11:02 am

the theory is the drought caused it, or the harsh winter, or the intersection thereof. The ragweed is due to drought -- it thrives in dry

11:02 am

ragweed, I understand but what did you do to deserve stinkbugarama

11:02 am

thanx dcseain

11:02 am

yeah, ragweed's having a ball here in TN as well :-)

11:03 am

they're easy to deal with, they don't bite, the don't run, you can vacuum them up, or pick them up and flush them or whate

11:03 am

kinda like when cave crickets invade . . .

11:03 am

altho they DO hop away!

11:04 am

actually m, this flu is really wearing me down. having trouble thinking, and reading is harder than normal. AND I need to pull things together for the back to school night on Tuesday. *sigh*

11:05 am

crickets are weeks away yet here, happily. Tail end of stinkbugs overlaps the start of indoor crickets, just as end of cicadas overlaps start of outdoor crickets. The latter is how Summer ends sonically if there's enough trees around

11:05 am

soooo sorry you're feeling so crummy, stiddy :-(

11:05 am

rest, hydrate, and move slowly, stid

11:05 am

my house gets treated quarterly but I still see the occasional Jurassic cave cricket! LOL

11:05 am

oh stid, yuckers! Hope you feel better soon! Like before Tuesday11

11:06 am

pups begging to go out -- back in a mo

11:18 am

thanks all... we'll see how it goes. I just found a really great online calendar generator program. Going to get it set up today so I have a rough outline for the parents if they are interested. I have enough energy for that, even if actual lesson plans are not coming together.

11:20 am

what a great idea stid!

11:21 am

*sending homemade-ish chicken noodle soup and choclit to stiddy

11:22 am

fortunately, I am doing a project-based unit... so at least 6 of the 15 days are mostly for student work! LOL but I still need to do some instruction, which will be in the form of "minilessons" with time to practice each time I teach.

11:22 am

mmmmm. thanks ardilla!

11:23 am

food sounds good, bbs

11:28 am

okay, I am outta here. back later to help clue or visit or... we'll see. *poof*

food. glorious food...

11:34 am

this looks like an interesting grid.

11:34 am

bye stiddy...get better soon

it is fairly do-able Leslie Anne.

11:42 am

so seain, does your icon mean that your mood is computer light bluish/gray??

11:46 am

LOL m9

11:47 am

pot's heating for the mirepoix -- minestrone will be had

11:47 am

onions, carrots and celery?

11:47 am

indeed! Tiny hint of garlic in this mix too

11:48 am

i don't know what a mirepoix is, but it would be a high-scoring babble word

11:48 am

two parts onion, on part carrot, one part celery, sweated until soft is a mirepoix. Sometimes, a tad of garlic in it too

11:49 am

how do you sweat something?

11:49 am

for me, mirepoix is the start of many a savory dish

11:49 am

^ not domestic

11:49 am

cook on low heat until soft so the veggies retain color and texture, if a softened texture

11:50 am

i use an oil base, but a butter base is good too

11:50 am

afternoon everyone... back for my last 2

11:50 am

sounds good, will have to remember that

11:50 am

hi, jindigo

11:50 am

Hi Seain

11:51 am

it's a staple in French and Northern Italian cooking

11:51 am

me too seain. although I have celery issues.

11:51 am

and Thanksgiving stuffing ain't right w/out it in my family :)

11:51 am

i need a clue for ER 5/14 and SA 512 please

11:51 am

really? i do celery/onion in my stuffing.. but not the carrot.

11:51 am

ms jong.

11:52 am

er 5/14 is like what a volcano does, but different fourth letter

11:52 am

each is different, m9, and they're all good.

11:52 am

ty, Leslie

11:52 am

oops. 5/FOURTEEN.

11:53 am

sa 5/12 ends with solid water.

11:53 am

ty m9, brb, need to go start cooking the soup base

11:53 am

ty - tyvm!

11:54 am

so long as there's lots of sage in my stuffing, I'm happy.LOL

11:54 am

woot found all the sixes by myself. guess i have to go listless now. :)

11:55 am

11:55 am

11:56 am

11:56 am

LOL Leslie!

11:56 am

11:57 am

(I didn't go listless though... I need to be super efficient and get 'er dun while boy is asleep)

12:00 pm

everyone is asleep here! but mostly since i already took the dogs to the dog park this morning :)

12:02 pm

oops pot too small, so i'll be starting the potatoes and mushrooms in the larger one, then bring the mirepoix over to it. Sigh

12:02 pm

no biggie seain!

12:03 pm

indeed, just an extra pot to wash :) At least the house smells nice thanks to the aromatics

12:03 pm

pots are so easy to wash though.. if you do them right away.

12:03 pm

exactly :)

12:03 pm

I like to just do it right as the pot gets emptied.

12:03 pm

so, off to start potatos and mushrooms. so do i most of the time

12:04 pm

I bet it smells good! I should make some chicken soup. Since we've got sickies today.

12:06 pm

there we go, nbt with 13 left

12:07 pm

nice Leslie!!!

12:09 pm

why can't you plural the italian goodbye?

12:13 pm

hmm... like "they said their (italian goodbyes)' ??

12:14 pm

maybe that is not grammatically correct in italian

12:14 pm

same reason you cannot plural aloha

12:14 pm

so, onion, carrot, celery, potato, mushroom, red beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, tomato and water. Should be good, no?

12:15 pm

i'm not sure, seain. i'll be over to test in a few.

12:15 pm

ci4 works like aloha in Italian, so no, not grammatically correct in Italian :)

12:15 pm

oh well. as i only have 1 c left i was trying to wish the word into existence

12:18 pm

have a de 5/14, what is the other?

12:18 pm

halo, Seain!

12:53 pm

Hi, George

12:53 pm

i was watching a video and checking on the soup

12:53 pm

sorry for thedelay

12:57 pm

Marie Cu5

12:57 pm

*punches clock* Okay I'm in. How's everybody today?

12:57 pm

hi, judi, i'm alright. brb dryer done

1:01 pm

yay. soup's almost ready :D

1:01 pm

this is the 1st soup i've made from scratch

1:02 pm

Mmmm. What kind of soup, dc?

1:03 pm

onion, carrot, celery, potato, mushroom, red beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, tomato and water. so, minestrone-esque

1:03 pm

**sluuuuurp** sounds good to me!

1:05 pm

i think i'll finish a bowl with some red pepper and parmesean

1:05 pm

parmagiano is heard to spell in English

1:06 pm

hard to spell, even :)

1:08 pm

You could just say "grated cheese" and leave it to our imaginations.

1:09 pm

ah, but there are 6 cheeses in the refrigerator, and i plan to use the parmagiano reggiano, as the manchego or the cheddar would taste wrong

1:09 pm

True, true.

ooh, that sounds good, Seain, I make a lot of soups like that and others, soup's my specialty!! don't eat everything raw, just most things, still love my soup in the colder weather!

well I wouldn't use cheese of course!

unless it's made with rice, soya or hemp milk

1:11 pm

i may not do the cheese, we'll see how i'm feeling about it :)

putting any pasta in that soup, Seain?

minestrone's got some in usually

macaroni, penne, that sorta thing

maccaroni, yeah, when I can type!!

1:12 pm

i've not yet, in part because i have no green beans, so it's not really a minestrone in my eyes

oh yeah, I see

just a nice vegetable soup then

1:13 pm

i think the cat will miss the balcony when we move, as new place likely won't have that.

1:13 pm

quite so, George

1:13 pm

Minestrone was my inspiration for it, though

oh just got your email Seain, yeah, will see to that!

they look all right, only the first is a bit dark

1:20 pm

Thank you, Sir :)

very nice, handsome bloke you are!

1:21 pm

thanks :)

1:21 pm

one is unrotated, as i didn't feel like searching for the rotated one, though their all in my flickr and downloadble, too

1:22 pm

they're, not their. sigh

1:22 pm

the brightness of the sun fascinates me

I hafta learn not to be so free with the compliments though, ha! roofer came to start work repairing the damage and he had this tall, strapping young man with him, bloody gorgeous!! so here's me asking him 'who's that gorgeous young fella working with you?' and he says 'MY SON!!' oops, ha, ha!!

1:23 pm

hah

glad he has a sense of humour, we both laughed!!

oh your moving eh? where to??

1:24 pm

moving to Arlington, Virginia, the county just across the river from Washington, DC.

1:25 pm

it's a small county that operates more like a city, what in England is called a Unitary Authority, than a county.

1:26 pm

ah, fi4dom

oh yeah, that's not far from where you are now?

yeah, just across the river, not far then!

1:27 pm

nope, not far, about 16 miles ENE

1:27 pm

i live in Reston, VA now, not far from KIAD

oh yeah

KIAD?

1:27 pm

i don't want to move back into DC

1:27 pm

Goodbye carleekat! I will see you later on in the chog

5:22 pm

sad story min,i was lucky,i solved that problem by getting the wife a subscrip to babble;)

5:22 pm

My husband has no interest in Babble whatsoever. All he cares about is sports of which I have no interest.

5:24 pm

i try to be patient with the wifes choices of games,as i am sure she bites her tongue with the games and stuff i do online as well.it all balances out in the end

5:24 pm

The great thing about his love of sports is that when he's watching sports,I can babble which is every nite

5:25 pm

just order the special sports chanel for him then

5:25 pm

My babble time & his sports time balances out, right?

5:25 pm

yup

5:25 pm

yup works for me

5:26 pm

As long as he gets Yankee station,he needs no other sports channels.He just watches baseball and football

5:27 pm

your story got me down to 24 left;/

5:28 pm

Unfortunately the Yankees is only available on cable which is expensive.Yankees are not available on dish network which is cheaper.So I am paying double just for one channel. Another thing I am not happy about.

5:28 pm

Oh that's great crosshair! I am glad it helped you out

5:28 pm

I am here if you need help with the rest of the words

5:29 pm

mymrs loves her cable t.v and i could care less about television programming it costs me 85 a month but i bite my tongue for the most part

5:30 pm

i can get any movie or show i like online and do not see the need for cable,but concessions must be made from time to time

5:30 pm

hey min..our anniversary is this friday:)))

5:32 pm

I guess that goes with the saying "pick your battles".

5:32 pm

mrs and i will have 17 years under our belts;0

5:32 pm

That is great crosshair.How many years will it be.My anniversary is next month.It will be five years for us.

5:32 pm

indeed,you CAN win the battle,but you may lose the war

5:33 pm

Wow! 17 years! Not sure if I will make it that long. I hope so though. We've known eachother since 1993.

5:33 pm

could anyone please clue the sa5/12 thanks

5:34 pm

5:34 pm

sa 5/12 word is sa plus frozen water grandy and hello

5:34 pm

wife and i dated for 2 years from 91-93 and got hitched oct 1st 93

5:34 pm

Only 5 years for me and it already seem like forever!

5:35 pm

thank you that was my final work for today

5:35 pm

anniversary is October 7th. Close yours to crosshair

5:35 pm

I have been married for 27 years....

5:35 pm

hi again

5:36 pm

howdy again carlee

5:36 pm

we were 1 month away from 20 years when my husband moved out

5:36 pm

Hubby and I dated from 1993 to 2005. Then we had a 3 year engagement. How are you going to celebrate?

5:37 pm

Hello carleekat!How are you?Welcome back to puzzle

5:37 pm

Congratulations grandy on 27 years of marriage!YAY

5:37 pm

tight times,maybe dinner out and a small gift

5:37 pm

thanks minver

5:37 pm

Congratulations grandy on fireworks! Hooray for you

5:38 pm

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~* for grandy

5:38 pm

Yes,tight for us.Don't even want to go out to dininer

5:38 pm

Sorry your husband left you carleekat. That's so sad!

5:39 pm

I have to say,I have thought about leaving hubby too

5:39 pm

our rough years were 4th,7th,10th,14th

5:39 pm

That's what marriage is, through good times and bad

5:40 pm

7th was nasty

5:40 pm

its not sad minver...... its... i dont want to say relief...b/c not all times were bad...but...we dont fit...him leaving is right..albeit difficult..its right for us

5:41 pm

i am also sorry carlee,20 years...

5:41 pm

i have 2 great kids....

5:42 pm

That is one great thing to come out of your marriage

5:43 pm

Hubby and I are polar opposites which makes it hard.

5:43 pm

That saying "opposites attract" does not apply to us.

5:44 pm

I still do love him deep inside, but it is just so difficult

5:44 pm

like i said...no all bad...we just.....dont "work" well together...we are never a team...its like we fight eachother getting to our goals...rather then help and support....when we have been a team its me supporting him...but if the situation is ever reversed....he either does nothing to support..or fights me

5:45 pm

we dont "fit"...ok...nuf of that rot...

5:45 pm

wife and i have some opposites,but many things the same,we both love a good book,walks in the hills,sunset canoe rides,horses,muscle cars,feeding each other sinful foods in bed,we have danced in the rain..so it is more matches than not

5:45 pm

I think if you have a good relationship,then it should not be difficult. I do know that it takes two to make a relationship fail or succeed. So I am NOT perfect!

5:46 pm

nor am I minver..and i share alot of the blame... he would say most...i say some

5:47 pm

It is always easier to put the blame on somebody else

5:47 pm

i have many faults myself

5:48 pm

So do I. I don't clean. For many years I didn't cook. I just started cooking. I do not like it, but do my part.

5:49 pm

I tend to be a goody two-shoes and do not know how to have fun according to my husband. I agree a little

5:50 pm

I spend too much time in front of computer or the tv

5:50 pm

so i have a non-game related question for the sake of opinion

5:50 pm

hit me with it;)

5:50 pm

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

5:51 pm

Yes,let's move onto a more positive topic in the chat

5:51 pm

go fo r it v

5:52 pm

im 21 talking to a woman thats 33

5:52 pm

anyone find that weird?

5:52 pm

sounds good so far..;))

5:53 pm

Vm likes cougars !!!! < kidding....go on>

5:53 pm

nothing better for a young guy than a woman who has lived a little

5:53 pm

does it feel weird to u Vm?

5:53 pm

unless she has 3 ex,es and 7 kids

5:53 pm

does it feel weird to u Vm?

5:53 pm

Age should not matter as long as it is legal Vmachine.

5:54 pm

f

5:54 pm

eh

5:54 pm

if you are both happy then there is no problem

5:54 pm

Who your person is on inside matters more than age.

5:55 pm

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

5:55 pm

da

5:55 pm

thats the who thing 21vs 33? if she is totally availabe with no strings and you are both comfortable,it is all good

5:55 pm

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

5:55 pm

sorry, forgot to click the "no chat"

5:56 pm

when i was 20,i spent some time with a lady in her 30,s..thought i had died and gone to heaven:)

5:56 pm

ty, about to go to bed when i realised I had hardly done any - must go soon though need sleep!

5:56 pm

Even if she has an ex and some kids, it is okay. Many people move on after divorce and remarry and start another family. It just depends on your situation.

5:58 pm

my cousin is in his mid 30's now..been with a woman 12 years his senior for 10+ years..her kids in their 20's now...and they are fab together

5:58 pm

See, there you go! I rest my case!

6:00 pm

they absolutely adore eachother...

6:02 pm

6:03 pm

I'd better be off to bed, see you tomorrow x

6:17 pm

yw

6:17 pm

6:18 pm

6:18 pm

6:18 pm

fe 5/20 word is fe 4/9 plus extra vowel near the end.

6:18 pm

I am hopeless at this game... just don't see many of the itty bitty words

6:19 pm

ty once again min

6:19 pm

thx again, min

6:20 pm

yw

6:21 pm

mm..good ham,but the applewood smoked ham might be better when diced up and added to eggs,or rice or whatever.has a real bold taste,wheras the hickory hams are good as a main dish

6:24 pm

How do you add babblers into that "My Friends" tab?

6:24 pm

go to who is online and add who you wish

6:25 pm

I have never looked at that until now... wow, the things one can do!

6:25 pm

i just added min

6:27 pm

Thanks crosshair!Now what is the advantage of that tab?Was going to put Sprite in there so I can access the icon themes. I used to have her in my favorites.

6:28 pm

Can't add sprite now since she isn't online right now.

6:29 pm

didn't know you could actually see who was lurking!!! and all this time I thought I was invisible unless I chatted... kinda scary, isn't it?

6:29 pm

no huge advantage just you can find your favs fast

6:29 pm

we have been watching you lex...mwahahaha

6:30 pm

at the risk of sounding like a stalker (which I am NOT), you are one of my favs, crossy!

6:30 pm

awwww...

6:30 pm

awwww...

6:30 pm

anyone who is so passionate about bacon can't be all bad... :o)

6:30 pm

mm i has the hiccups

6:31 pm

bacon lovers UNITE!!!

6:32 pm

well, I am down to 3 pathetic C's, but I must be off to feed my non-eater (who happens to want bacon and hash browns right now!)

6:33 pm

my 13 y/o eats virtually nothing; my 12 y/o will eat just about anything.... toodles!

6:35 pm

when your 13 year old is eating nothing have the 12 year old reach over with a pre planned move and grab a forkfull off the 13 year olds plate and smile evily

6:36 pm

Goodbye lexophile! I will see you later on in the chog!

6:37 pm

I'm a crossie lover!!!

6:38 pm

bacon, yes if it's crisp:)

6:38 pm

It used to be that I wouldn't be able to see myself in that Who's Online tab. Only others could see if I was online. Now I am able to see myself there. Not that I would not know if I was babbling or not. LOL!

6:38 pm

Hello blueheron! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

6:39 pm

Just because they are listed as being online does not neccessarily mean that they're online at the time too

6:39 pm

7:21 pm

WTG Crossy!!

7:21 pm

lol,there may be hope

7:22 pm

biab,must go soap down this mass of muscle...semi-poof

7:23 pm

rofl every time he writes "mass of muscle" I get the giggles...

7:23 pm

Hi stid. How are you feeling today?

7:25 pm

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

7:25 pm

better this evening, but tired. and discouraged that all weekend I was too tired to think or read or work at all.

7:25 pm

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

7:25 pm

Relax. Be gentle with yourself. You were sick

7:25 pm

tempted to stay home tomorrow, but desperately want to get together with my teacher (who was gone Thurs-Fri) and my professor who is supposed to observe me in the afternoon.

7:25 pm

Hi to you too MInv!!

7:26 pm

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

7:26 pm

hi Min and Jillyjill

7:26 pm

I feel... terribly behind, not highly motivated to try to figure out what the various parts are that I am supposed to attend to, and -- confused about exactly what the expectations are for my work.

7:26 pm

hi stid! hi everyone!

7:26 pm

that's me. how about you bugs? staying out of trouble, I hope?

7:27 pm

Hello featherbee!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

7:27 pm

I was not highly motivated to do anything but babble

7:27 pm

perhaps take the day off but connect with them by phone so they will hear how sick you are but that you are still working on improving? Would that help>

7:27 pm

stid, if it's any consolation, i usually feel terribly behind for all of september

7:28 pm

I just saw and read your profile Bugsaw. Very funny!

7:28 pm

I am feeling a bit low today. I am not really happy with the philosophy of the school I am at and I am not challenged there by anything except the administration.

7:28 pm

I liked looking foreward to going to work

7:28 pm

already spoke yesterday with my professor on the phone. was coughing and hacking then, so she knew I was feeling awful. I just feel that this is an opportunity to get some feedback on my actual unit that I will begin teaching in a week.

7:29 pm

I am so sorry to hear that bugs. hard to stay motivated when that is true.

7:29 pm

Remember stid, they don't want sick people coming to school to infect those who are still well for some reason

7:29 pm

thanks feather. It would be less of an issue if I didn't have all the grad school garbage on top of the teaching bits. I think I could do the teaching/parent contacts/lesson planning okay if I didn't also have to worry about papers and other deadlines.

7:31 pm

You have so much on your plate stid. Go easy on yourself

7:31 pm

hi all....

7:31 pm

hewd

7:31 pm

true bugs -- the thing is, I KNOW I caught this one from the students/other teachers! LOL but an extra day... *sigh*

7:32 pm

passing stiddy some choklit to slow her down

7:32 pm

nope. that one doesn't work...

7:32 pm

*screeches to a halt to grab choclits*

7:32 pm

carleekat and I will make you a chocolit flavoured hot lemonade. Will that help

7:33 pm

and passing stiddy some sparkling hard cider to wash it down

7:33 pm

and then handing stiddy the rest of the bottle...

7:33 pm

glug glug glug

7:34 pm

( its made here locally...this weekend was applefest :)

7:34 pm

perhaps something stronger than cider would help her pass out and sweat the sickness out while she sleeps.

7:34 pm

I love fresh apple juice or fresh cider

7:34 pm

( I think a 1.5L bottle will do the trick...no bugs..this HARD cider...)

7:35 pm

she is quiet now. perhaps she has already passed out . sshhhh

7:35 pm

yes! I was drinking bits of rum lemonade last night when I kept waking up coughing.

7:35 pm

LOL you two!

7:36 pm

brb just had another idea

7:37 pm

doug's coming home with ice cream in a few! have i mentioned i dearly love that man?

7:38 pm

I hate laundry

7:41 pm

Me too tNc!!

7:41 pm

I like laundry, just not having to do it, ha!

that does not sound like fun

nor does laundry

fresh, clean laundry that is!!

7:43 pm

ooohhh, have the boys do their own laundry when they're older...can't wait for that day! i have daniel help me sort it already, that's his allowance chore.

7:43 pm

had a blast actually...when ur son of 18 and his buddy take offense to someone being rude to mum and blockes BITCH totally...and...when said boys even WANT to be with mum..its a good day

7:43 pm

7:48 pm

I have a stuffy-up nose so really can't tell... LOL

7:49 pm

i've got one kiddo who keeps testing me too. he's actually the youngest in my class, JUST turned 5 in September. he'll get there. i don't back down.

7:49 pm

*sniff*....mmmm nice Crossy...how's the ice on your toilet?

7:49 pm

I would just be happy to see some of these kids working at ANY level. And recognizing that when we give a deadline we mean it... they'll figure it out eventually.

7:49 pm

7:50 pm

I want ice - in the 90s all weekend and part of the week

still here, Bugsaw?

8:37 pm

Dawg, do you teach at FCC?

8:37 pm

we've had a very long spring, no summer and now a beautiful autumn. let's hope winter isn't ugly.

8:37 pm

yes George, just searching.

8:38 pm

at the risk of sounding incredibly ignorant, what's a "graphic novel"?

8:38 pm

I do teach at the college, but not for the collge, jill

8:38 pm

we had no spring... lovely long summer ( for us )...and now....we wait to see if we get a reall fall or a few days of it

8:38 pm

*college*

8:38 pm

Well, with the pine beetle infestation, I'd like to see a really cold hard winter...

8:38 pm

essentially... its a hard cover bound comic book lex

8:38 pm

what subject dawg?

8:38 pm

graphic novel is the new term for comic book lexophile

8:38 pm

yea, bitter cold in January would be good.

8:39 pm

basic computers for Veterans, Jilly.

8:39 pm

ok... man, the education I get from this site!

8:39 pm

lol lexo!!

check your email, Bugsaw!

8:40 pm

and i do mean BASIC! this is your mouse, your monitor, your hard drive...

8:40 pm

That's neat dawg...good for you..helping our vets!

yeah, that's about all I know, open up the computer and I don't have a clue, ha!

8:40 pm

too true lexo. I learned what LMAO meant and put it in here one day when a 10 year old was on. He soundly corrected me that it was not appropriate to say that.

8:40 pm

Ya right George....

8:41 pm

it's fun. this term they are mostly VietNam Vets. and one from the current war.

8:41 pm

ok. checking now

ha! I had fun asking what that meant on twitter the other week, Bugs!

8:41 pm

Yep bugsaw, I stick to rofl!!

what ya mean, 'ya right' Jilly? It's true, other than I can probably point out a fan, motherboard and hard drives, perhaps!?

yeah, perhaps a power supply, other than that don't ask, just glad it all works, lol!

8:42 pm

I think rolling on the floor has a bad conotation to it

8:42 pm

lol .... I can type on a computer, and that's about the extent of my skills... heck, I had to be content to just lurk on this site until I was finally able to figure out how to get an icon and flag!

8:42 pm

I'll introduce you all to them next week, when i cover chat rooms and message boards. I don't do facebook, so they'll have to discover that on their own

8:42 pm

You're on here after all George

8:42 pm

lbdawger or anybody, would you be able to answer a question about downloading drivers onto a laptop?

and don't ask me to put any of it together coz I'd botch that up for sure, ha!

8:42 pm

That'll be nice dawg...

yeah, well being on here doesn't take any computer tech skill or most of us wouldn't be, would we?!!

<< shakes head

8:43 pm

once you are show the basics,building a computer is easy,it is all about swapping/inserting compatable parts,nothing more

8:43 pm

hmmm

8:43 pm

i cringe when they ask me really technical stuff. that's when i show them how I google information and I also tell them I have a lot of really good techy friends.

news to me if you hafta know how to assemble or fix a computer to use the internet? ha!

I just have a technician do whatever needs doing, easier and safer, lol!

8:44 pm

Everything I learned about computers I learned from my sons...lol...well not totally, am pretty much self taught..

8:44 pm

Guess I shouldn't ask my technical question lbdawger

8:44 pm

putting a computer together really is easy, as crossy says. it's the programming and stuff that confuses me. how they work together, and why something wont work...

listening to Stevie Wonder, fab!

oh yeah, don't ask me about programming, haven't got a clue!

8:44 pm

ask, Min. Crossy's here to help! lol

8:45 pm

you have a motherboard/power supply/cpu chip/memory sticks/video card/optical drives/easy peasy

8:45 pm

Tried googling the information I need,but don't know which driver is the right one to download onto laptop

what do you need a driver for?

8:45 pm

laptop drivers are tough min,especially for dells

8:45 pm

Well, laptops a bit more complicated

yeah, they are and that's what I use mostly

8:46 pm

George, cuz drunk computing is not pretty

8:46 pm

dell uses proprietary video drivers for example

8:46 pm

Need to download an ethernet cable driver for my HP

eh, lbdawger? who's drunk computing?

8:46 pm

sec min....

8:46 pm

got to go... my 13 y/o still wants snuggle time w/ his mom... gotta take advantage of it while it lasts...

8:46 pm

It's getting so cheap it may be easier just to buy a new one. LOL

8:46 pm

i just got informed my daughter needs her gym clothes washed for tomorrow..topis white...bottom is dark

8:46 pm

what's the alcohol limit for computing

8:46 pm

8:46 pm

Bye, lex

8:46 pm

8:47 pm

and as she was wonderful and cleaned up my family room wonderfully

8:47 pm

blurred typing, ru

8:47 pm

what model # is your hp?

8:47 pm

Crossy, Iearned (the hard way) that Dell pretty much is proprietary on ALL its parts

8:47 pm

I have an HP Pavilion DV6002.5 and Windows Vista.

8:47 pm

still trying George, not ignoring you :)

8:47 pm

i never owned a dell,had to rescue my brother when he got 1

ha, ha! it's all right, Bugsaw, just trying to get lbdawger to answer a question I asked about something she said, lol!

8:48 pm

Googled NVIDIA network Bus enumerator.Is that the same thing as the ethernet controller crosshair?

8:48 pm

George, some babblers are notorius for imbibing whilst babbling...then they try and make the rest of us keep them company in the PB. drunk computing!

8:48 pm

My problem now is that the TV I use for youth ministry is S-video cable one, and VERY few laptops have that now...all bluetooth

8:48 pm

An arrestable offense dawg!!

8:49 pm

rofl!

yeah, lbdawger, have sorta noticed that once already recently, but what's that got to do with what we were talking about? I'm a bit lost!?

8:49 pm

HATE Hewlett Packard! Fortunately I got a Dell from work which is the computer that I have been using.

8:49 pm

min,you no longer have the driver disk that came with it?

8:49 pm

BAbbleland: where all life's problems are solvable!!

8:50 pm

I love my dell

8:50 pm

ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:50 pm

my keyboard is bacon shaped

8:50 pm

mmm bacon

can babble repair my roof?

8:50 pm

I don't know. I looked in the box and saw a recovery disk, but that is to restore the hard drive I believe.

8:50 pm

i'm drinking sparkling hard cider

8:50 pm

pass some over here carleet!!

8:51 pm

there should be a driver disk in there somewhere as well as recovery

8:51 pm

I love my HP! and the tech support are really wonderful folks. unless you get the guy in Pakistan, he doesn't speak English very well and plays his music really loud!

8:51 pm

No George, but you'll get lots of instructions how to do that roof!!

8:51 pm

passing jilly some cider...

oh yeah I know him, that's Mujibar!

8:51 pm

i have a site for you min,but i am loth to use it if you can find the original driver disk

8:51 pm

tyvm carleet..mmm good!!

8:52 pm

mujibar.. sounds like a muslim snickers bar

8:52 pm

I thought that if you restored your hard drive, then it would restore the drivers too since that is part of your hard drive. Anyway, if I don't find the disk, can I still download a driver from the internet crosshair?

8:52 pm

must remember to look for some hard cider next weekend. it is the season

8:52 pm

thsi one is called hammer bent red jilly

8:52 pm

lol, ru.

8:53 pm

Nice, it's apple season here...will get some local goodies here soon!!

8:53 pm

What do you mean you are loth to use website cross?

I see, Jilly, well I have these roofers working on it, they came to do the work, this man probably late 40s and a young man--young one's gorgeous so I asked the older one 'who's that gorgeous lad working with you?' and he says 'MY SON!' oops....!!

8:56 pm

8:56 pm

Just went to that website crosshair and I recognize it as a website I saw before in my research.I think it just scans the laptop to see if any of the drivers are corrupt. I do not believe I can download any drivers.

8:56 pm

9:01 pm

I have recovered my computer before and never had a problem with the ethernet driver.Do not know why I have a problem with it now. I think the laptop shop I brought my laptop to messed it up and ripped me off

9:01 pm

What does the chipset driver do? Do I need to install?

9:01 pm

9:03 pm

it was a name I gave myself when I was just 1, George. Ask me a stupid question and I will give you a stupid answer

9:03 pm

9:11 pm

Yes. I was watching the guy next door pole vaulting in the back yard (no fences where we lived) and he came over and said, "What is your name little girl?" I looked at him and said, "Bugsaw" No one knows why but my Dad said I always cracked them up with weird things like that.

9:19 pm

night night, Jellen

it was funny really, you know, it's a bloody old house, built in 1867, so things are gonna go on it once in a while, it's inevitable so I just had to laugh as it all started coming down amongst puddles of water! knew it was all gonna get repaired, so what the hey!!?

9:21 pm

9:21 pm

I do hope nothing got damage George

9:21 pm

go crossy!

9:21 pm

well yeah, course it did--the roof and ceiling!!

9:22 pm

I sorta meant belongings/furnisihgs..

9:22 pm

rule with roof work..get it fixed fast or the damage spreads fast

9:23 pm

George, this is why I am computer illiterate. There is no such thing as a Dressing up box, on the right or not. I am one of those people who need someone to point at what they are talking about. I will try again but I am getting truly bugged. lol

9:23 pm

ou end up with water runnign where it should not be running

9:23 pm

what you looking for bugsaw/

9:23 pm

I am glad you could laugh.

9:24 pm

i think i'd be able to laugh sometime after i'd cried or killed someone or something.

9:24 pm

oh crossy, George is trying so hard to help me set up a Yahoo account and I am such a klutz

9:25 pm

yahoo..eww...sorry i do not go near the thing...good luck....

9:25 pm

I'd be screaming....

9:25 pm

i'd be putting out buckets to catch the water

9:26 pm

that water will run across trusses unseen in the attic and crawl spaces and water can end up dripping far from where the actual leak may be

well yeah, obviously we did that, jmc, my sister was visiting at the time and she went running abount doing most of that, bless her!!

yeah, that's all being checked out crossy

9:28 pm

i have a periodic leak on my first floor that doesn't leak on my second floor

and yeah, lbdawger, I'm a bit odd, odd sense of humour I suppose but I try not to let much get to me!

9:29 pm

I have system restore tab open on my Dell.Now what do I do crosshair? Sorry, I was preoccupied before.

9:29 pm

the flashing needs work

9:29 pm

ok,i give up,last word co 5/16 please

9:29 pm

make usre it is running and not disabled,if the box is checked off,uncheck it

9:30 pm

stupid word crossy. Think of the puffy things in the sky, remove the second letter and add a vowel at the end

I've had various leaks over the 23 years I've had this place, so it's nothing I'm not used to dealing with though this is a bit worse than the others, will have to put a new roof on!!

9:30 pm

ugh..vista..upgrade it to win 7 asap

10:02 pm

Min, I bought 2 HP laptops 2 years ago at $300 each for Christmas of 2008. They are refurbs; but still work perfectly (and my Dtr hasn't been the easiest person on electronics through the years)

10:02 pm

Hi Crossy. The thing that was bugging me most was the way it predicts what you're going to type - which is a nightmare when playing Babble. That's turned off now.

10:02 pm

Bye Jilly!

10:20 pm

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

10:22 pm

I really hope that helps fix your problem, Min. I don't think you have to download that wireless ass't. because it isn't on our HP (I went and looked for it after getting FW a few minutes ago

10:22 pm

nef, that reminds me of something that happened a work recently. We have to write detailed reports on our residents for record keeping purposes. One of the staff use the word "emesis". The supervisor returned the form asking what it meant and because SHE was familiar with the word, made the staff change it to vomit.

10:23 pm

So what do I need to do to get my wireless working?I guess I should just be glad to get internet on the HP.

10:23 pm

Thanks for looking for me Nef. The information helps.

10:24 pm

I meant because she "wasn't" familiar with the word...

10:24 pm

it should work as a wireless because you downloaded the broadband wireless LAN

10:25 pm

Wow, Nonnie! What type of person is this that she doesn't know that emesis is the correct term?

10:25 pm

belated whoo hoo nef

10:25 pm

good night

10:25 pm

I have it on my flashdrive now.I'll install it tomorrow.

so the boss of the docs is not a doc?

10:25 pm

And belated YAY for you, jmc!

10:26 pm

Goodbye jmcnrick! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

so can anyone clue the D that i don't have? (i have de5)

10:27 pm

Nite jmc!!!

10:27 pm

Not doctors--residential care facility and this was a direct care staff, gwen. Nef--or at least pull out the dictionary and look the word up before she makes herself look silly.

10:27 pm

Think of the number two for that de 5/16 word BDG.

10:28 pm

10:55 pm

Goodbye Book Doctor Gwen! I will see you tomorrow.

11:06 pm

bye gwen, hey all. you're up late, min -- are you okay?

11:06 pm

I decided to call in sick, on the advice of my many friends who are far wiser than I am... hence my presence here.

11:07 pm

oh Nef, is DH having trouble?

11:07 pm

sorry to hear that.

11:08 pm

I am trying to fix my stupid HP and it is NOT working!

11:09 pm

oh oh Nef, not good. can I help?

11:09 pm

I meant min. *sigh*

11:09 pm

brain and figners not completely aligned.

11:11 pm

Crosshair walked me through lotta steps earlier, but the end result did not fix the computer. So annoyed!

11:16 pm

that's too bad. is it running too slow, or ... ?

11:17 pm

No, I can't get the internet to work on my HP laptop.

11:17 pm

Crosshair helped me download a driver, but still does not work. I'm back at square one again stidmama. :(

11:18 pm

snoozed off there a bit over on FB. Min, when it didn';t work did you download the wireless ass't?

11:19 pm

oh. do you want me to ask my tom? he's a programmer professionally...

11:19 pm

YAY, stid; get Tom to help Min!

11:21 pm

he'll log in and see what he can do. hold on.

11:21 pm

it might be easier to have someone local do it though.

11:21 pm

Thank you stidmama, but I am giving up for now. It's so late and I need to goto bed. Maybe another time.

11:22 pm

Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see you tomorrow

11:22 pm

that's okay min. maybe another time. hope the week will go well for you!

11:22 pm

*stern mama look at buggery laptop*

11:22 pm

tom says if you're still here, plug in the laptop to the cable for internet and have windows do the update....

11:22 pm

worth a try tomorrow.

11:23 pm

Oh, and stid, DH has spastic legs when he goes to bed (this has gone on for many years; it isn't restless leg syndrome; it's the MS). So he goes to bed first, then once his legs settle down *I* can go to bed. I can't help it; but I do get cranky if his legs bother me

11:25 pm

oh, I see. that's not a lot of fun for either of you. oh well, I guess that means you get some "me time" on a regular basis.

11:25 pm

MS sux

11:27 pm

I read in your profile that you finally got a good ramp put in -- is he pretty much in the chair all the time now?

11:27 pm

it does; but right now he's doing better; so we won't complain or get discouraged. So many diseases don't have the possible remissions that MS has

11:30 pm

Nope. Today he used the walker to go to church and to Costco. He overdid it; but he was feeling strong tiol about half way through Costco (and we only went there for fruits, veggies and the giant Tums size of antacids)

11:30 pm

Tomorrow will probably be a wheel chair day, though (for over-doing today)

11:32 pm

hi all again

11:32 pm

I am glad he felt well enough to overdo it! *stern mama look at Nef's DH* I hope he'll be a little less "tough" in the future though.

11:32 pm

hey carlee -- can't sleep?

11:32 pm

hi carlee

11:33 pm

how'd u guess stiddy

11:33 pm

I called in sick... so decided to stay up until flip in the hope of actually sleeping the full night.

11:33 pm

1 1/2 L of hard cider...a hot bath....

11:33 pm

and warm soup with crackers

11:33 pm

you can have some of my "pirate tea" (rum and orange juice)... I was coughing again, so tom made me some

11:33 pm

I sip it all night long.

11:33 pm

is that one AND a half? or just a HALF?

11:34 pm

Helloo all

11:34 pm

*concerned mama look* that hard cider can be brutal...

11:34 pm

ooooh... nice

11:34 pm

I hope you both can sleep tonight.

11:34 pm

hi jilli

11:34 pm

hey jilleroo!!! *bounce bounce bounce* I am sick! that's why I am still awake!!! I hope you're not sick. I hope you're feeling WONDERFUL. (hugs and choclits and nice vodka)

11:35 pm

the last upper respiratory flu i had i took orange juice and mango juice..and mixed together and warmed up....was just....liquid vit c and felt soooo good

11:35 pm

I'll sleep okay once the fever is knocked back and the coughing stops again.

11:35 pm

hi jilli

11:35 pm

i'll sleep again when... peace of mind prevails

11:36 pm

carlee, what's going on? You said the same thing last night......

11:36 pm

carlee... I wish there were some way to help. *hums gentle lullaby* I can't even come over and sit with you. *sad mama look*

11:36 pm

so sorry to hear you're sick again, stid!

11:37 pm

me too, jill -- I am missing a day at student teaching. which is neither fun nor profitable.

11:37 pm

I'm using the laptop so expect slowness and typos :(

11:38 pm

well..in short.. there have been 2 teen suicides at my kids' school...

11:38 pm

why slow and tyops, jill? just different keyboard? are you okay?

11:39 pm

and...i unfortunatly came by some info regarding this situation...that a handful in my city know..its an ongoing police investigation...and what has happened is but a tip of the iceberg

11:39 pm

also letting the battery run down -- was told it was a good idea -- do you agree?

11:39 pm

stid; 1 day missing student teaching due to illness is better than going and getting pneumonia AND half of the class ill too...

11:39 pm

yes, just not used the the keyboard

11:39 pm

(((carlee)))

11:39 pm

I got it from the kids... and unfortunately thought it was just a cold last thurs-fri so I DID go to school.

11:40 pm

i wish i didnt know...

11:40 pm

depends on the type of battery, but can be good once in a while. it sort of resets the amount of power it can hold I think.

11:40 pm

i'd be able to sleep... now when i do sleep i get nightmares...and i never get nightmares

11:40 pm

sometimes, carlee, ignorance IS bliss.

11:40 pm

sometimes, carlee, ignorance IS bliss.

11:41 pm

oh, awful, carlee! should I let it go off completely or can I reconnect it when it's just low?

11:41 pm

carlee, do you know of the yellow ribbon org? http://www.yellowribbon.org/

11:41 pm

Are you able to get inside your dreams and correct them? sometimes I can, and I replay the beginning and change the end.

11:41 pm

yes...it is...

11:41 pm

sometimes i can stiddy..but i am so sleep deprieved right now

11:42 pm

yes..i know it nef....

11:42 pm

Well, I was just told to plug in so I did :)

11:42 pm

tom says that you should let it run pretty low, but it doesn't have to be completely dead.

LOL jill! the computer knows what it needs!

11:42 pm

Thanks Tom! And how often should I do this?

11:42 pm

jilli, I don't think it matters with the new batteries these days. It isn't so necessary like in the past

11:43 pm

the kids at the school are soooo... emotional on so many levels...the teachers are falling apart and crying whilst teaching...

11:43 pm

And thanks, Nef -- this is very new.

11:43 pm

okay, then I have something to do for you carlee. *puts on mama think hat* You will sleep better tonight. You will sleep deeply and well. And you will use the wisdom of the dreams to help you work out the puzzles.

11:44 pm

have counsellors in the school...these 2 deaths occured withing 2 weeks of eachother..both boys..both athletic and popular and smart...and both killed themselves the same way

11:44 pm

Now I'm going to change my icon -- I hoope you all had a good look at this one, which I quite like.

11:44 pm

Jill, tom says once a month is okay, once a week is okay. It's up to you.

11:44 pm

heyyy all!

11:44 pm

Hi cos!

11:44 pm

I sure hope the next grid has more than 62 words. I've been going nuts all day without babble :)

11:45 pm

how big or small is your school, carlee? My dtr. had 3 classmates commit suicides the last 2 years of HS; but there were 500+ in her class

11:45 pm

The dreams are working out something important for you, and when your brain figures it out, you will sleep better.

11:45 pm

Jill, tom says let it run down to about 15-20% percent every so often.

11:45 pm

hey cos

11:46 pm

hi cos... the school is about 1100 total

11:47 pm

my town is fairly well connected...all the kids from all the schools all know eachother or are familiar with eachother as houseleague sports are really popular here...( houseleague being city wide )

11:48 pm

back with our first computer (and first cell phone and first electric screw driver, LOL!) we were to run the batteries fully down in order to extend the battery life since keeping them plugged in all the time shortened their battery lives.

11:48 pm

its the shok that both so close together....they havent had time to get over the death of one classmate and a second has died

11:49 pm

that's not true nowadays, fortunately, but I still try to run the battery down once in a while.

11:49 pm

i do too stiddy..my cell phone i always run it down..mind is more then 3 years old now

11:49 pm

It was hard when we were kids and classmates died. Never easy, no matter what the cause.

11:49 pm

so that is old style battery

11:49 pm

Aww, carlee. I wish I had some answers for you. Just listen to your heart and don't keep secrets if they may be part of the problem.

11:50 pm

nope..not part of problem nef...i just..cant sleep..too much on my mind..in a few weeks...sleep will return

11:50 pm

I am getting so tired, and my cough is going away. maybe i can try to sleep in the bed tonight instead of propped up on the so4

11:51 pm

sleep well stiddy.....does this mean u wont make 10 more mins to the flip?

11:51 pm

carlee -- chamomile tea?

11:51 pm

carlee, I've forgotten where in Canada you are...

11:51 pm

u mean camel pile tea?

11:51 pm

It's not so important to do that (running them totally down) any more. I was told not to keep things plugged in all the time and not to let them run totally out either

11:51 pm

I'll try to make it to flip... *yawn*

11:52 pm

ontario..southern ont

11:52 pm

well, computers generally shut off and won't wake up again at a certain point, they preserve the last power so they don't lose data

11:52 pm

carlee is so far south she's like detroit north

11:52 pm

ty -- just wondering if I'd heard about your sad kids...

11:53 pm

Windsor, I guess?

11:53 pm

jill, how are things up on SSI? haven't seen you or flo for long enough to talk in ages.

11:53 pm

pretty much yes..i am....but without the "influence" of detroit...

11:53 pm

no..u havent...its being kept out of the media...

11:53 pm

some things are best not publicized...

11:54 pm

11:55 pm

11:55 pm

carlee, just had an idea. check out this link

11:55 pm

teens will often have "copy-cat" suicides when this happens. It's really imporetant for the whole community to mobilize and come together to support the teens and also all of the families.
