hi heri and sprite

1:53 am

cute butterfly, jilli. I thought you might like this icon theme!

1:54 am

I thought of putting up our Queen but like you, fell for the butterfly as you did for that little owl

1:55 am

:D Great minds...

1:55 am

Over halfway here and eyelids are slamming shut -- sorry about that...

1:55 am

it is amazing, the things people can make from bills. When I entered the theme, I googled for an hour... and now I have done the same.

1:56 am

night jilli, sleep well

HI Sprite

Nothing we have not seen her for a while

2:07 am

I hope you have a nice visit then

2:08 am

I like today's icon theme... too bad I don't have time to make some of my own... (my own designs also suck, unfortunately)

2:09 am

I found some very nice ways to fold money you want to use as a gift. From roses to a little treasure chest. I think I will try to learn some of them, it will come in handy with birthdays.

O cute Sprite. I saw one idea which was money put in bread

2:11 am

in bread? As a housewarming gift maybe?

Yes. The bread is hollowed out

2:13 am

how nice!

Then the person thinks Bread huh and they cut it and their is money

2:14 am

will remember that as well

I think it is cute. I bought concert tickets for b.f concert tickets and wrapped it up in a c.d. case and dvd case

2:17 am

also a good idea

You can't exactly cover up a ticket

2:21 am

2:55 am

26 to go, including all the biggies and even 5 more 6s. This grid is a challenge :)

2:56 am

good morning everybody.

2:56 am

hi rubyfoo. How's your husband doing?

yes Ruby how is hubby

2:58 am

we went out to lunch yesterday. Doctor said his chest is clear and now he just has to gain weight and walk walk walk! No more anti-phlebitis injections or visits from the nurse, either.

2:59 am

He gets very tired but I guess he's out of the woods and has enough energy left to give me a hard time!

That is great Ruby

2:59 am

oh wow! That is a huge improvement, rubyfoo! And I bet he is happy he can go out again.

2:59 am

I've invited his daughter to visit in March, so, hopefuly, his mood will improve

3:00 am

if he is out of the woods, there is no need anymore to not stand up for yourself, rubyfoo. Please don't let him walk over you.

3:00 am

when he gets nasty now, I just walk away.

3:01 am

wow, this is a nasty little grid! I'm hoping for a big juicy one with lots of s's and t's!

3:01 am

very good. We have a dutch saying that goes like: Talk to my ass, my head isn't interested.

3:02 am

that's perfect!

3:03 am

and no need to say it either, lol... the way you walk away says it all :)

3:03 am

with a flick of my rear! hahah

3:04 am

*grins* That is a great image!

Most be off

3:10 am

3:22 am

3:27 am

3:27 am

3:29 am

5:35 am

Ah! thanks zooz. may not need it. this is moving right along

5:35 am

GM all

5:35 am

ah that always helps, doesn't it! Here it is misty and getting mistier by the minute.

5:35 am

I need a clue for upper A for NBT

5:35 am

hi sue

5:35 am

I did need it for about four words.

5:35 am

a + not warm, sue

5:35 am

5:35 am

Hello, Sue :-)

5:35 am

5:36 am

5:36 am

hello Douglas

5:36 am

that is very cool douglas

5:37 am

Sounds rather atmospheric, all that mist, Sprite!

5:37 am

Good going, Douglas :-)

5:37 am

Hello sprite. Davo is a word on Star Trek DS9. Quark had a davo table in his interstellar gin joint.

5:38 am

makes it a very small world, zooz, lol.

5:38 am

I needed a little help from morewords

5:38 am

Douglas, enable still has to discover internet and email, so Star Trek is way beyond its grasp.

5:38 am

lol..indeed.sprite

5:39 am

LOL, you are so right, spritey..enable does seem a bit dated.

5:39 am

:D First time 'internet' was in a grid, I must have typed it at least 10 times over before I could accept it wouldn't take.

5:41 am

I am sure there is not a day go by where a word we feel should be accepted..is not because enable does not agree..lol

5:42 am

for me it is part of the fun, to be honest. I would hate it if we would change to a more modern dictionary. I love learning all those ancient words.

5:44 am

Well to a certain point, yes, could still have all the "Ancient" words included :-)

5:45 am

Ok, i am going to go and give Eight1 a try, take care, All :-)

I am loathe to bring up a sad subject, but I've been off for a while - can someone tell me what happened to NancyBoy?

5:47 am

bye zooz, have fun with the other game and *hugs*

5:47 am

hi ladycece, I think the best is if I give you the link in BabAnon, is that ok?

5:47 am

NB had a liver transplant, but then got complications but his body could not cope and sadly passed away on the 21st january.

6:33 am

I'll take all the credit for their sweet faces

6:33 am

They must have gotten it from me, because I don't have it.

just gorgeous!

6:34 am

Any help w/the top A's? I've just started and stymied.

6:35 am

I hope you don't catch * **** this winter, gramma, because it's awful to be sick!

6:35 am

hi al - i am back again - had to go ad get the bu - hubby had his biabetic eye check

6:36 am

6:38 am

6:38 am

6:39 am

6:39 am

Will I require a fish slap when I find out what the j's are?

6:39 am

6:39 am

btw, "Delpy" is the answer to my guess the proper noun

6:40 am

85, ouwachita

6:40 am

thanks

6:40 am

up to 58...not too many left

6:40 am

I only have one, douglas, so I don't think so, unless we are both about to get hit with fish

6:40 am

only got 1 j and its a proper name!

Hi everyone. I only have one J too, which is the same one but also means a treatment of furniture.

6:41 am

jo 4/9

6:42 am

I saw ja5 a long time ago, and just knew it wouldn't be accepted

6:42 am

it is douglas

6:43 am

oooh, thanks douglas!

6:43 am

jo 6/42 as well

morning babblers :)

6:44 am

now I have "Jolene" stuck in my head, which is a huge improvement over Eminem....

6:44 am

hi nono

ty Kazzer

there is a jo6/8 combo meaning very jolly

6:44 am

oooh ta nono - hvent got the 8

6:45 am

And with that, I reach nbt2, 2 words (or the max) from every tile

is there a list someplace today? I'm down to 11 and very stuck

ty nono, jave all the J WORDS NOW!

Sorry, finger trouble.

6:45 am

I've copied dmf's list into my profile.

ty FM

6:45 am

I tried joculer. Worth a try? Finally got the 6; but, 8? No way

adverb gramma

make it an adverb

6:46 am

I tried it too, gramma, and I am still stuck on the 6 and the 8

6:46 am

Sally, I found it. ty

It was the last one I tried!

6:47 am

Me too

6:47 am

ha! GOT THEM!

6:47 am

I still can't find the other top A.

6:47 am

that was a good value 8

6:47 am

I think Father Mulchahey on MASH made jocularity a household word. : P

6:47 am

that word is going to haunt me forever. It is what I told off for in my job review. they love me, but I am entirely too jocular.

6:48 am

What a terrible attribute. 8)

6:49 am

Now see, if I'm an employer, I want someone jocular. Who wants a bunch of bland personalities working for them?

6:49 am

it actually quite hurt my feelings, gramma. my ability to make someone laugh in a crappy situation is what I pretty much thank god for the most.

6:50 am

I'm sorry, Trif. I'm often inappropriately jocular

6:50 am

apparently, so am I, so you and I will have to sit next to each other at the world wide gathering of babblers, and we will have a TIME!

6:51 am

being jocular is a good thing - it makes lfe feel so much better when you have jocular work colleagues

6:51 am

I agree Kaz.

6:52 am

I think they are all just way sensitive because of the kids we work with. on my side, I think if I can get a kid to stop grumping and do their work, rules can be bent a little.

6:53 am

example: I have one boy who really struggles with the rules of phonics, so we do a lot of imaging words with him, etc. He did NOT want to work at all. I started with the word "boost" and had him switch up letters until it spelled "boobs" and at that point he was laughing his head off, and saying "give me another one!" and totally engaged in the exercise, and it was so fun. and totally against the rules.

6:54 am

You go, girl! Whatever it takes.

6:54 am

thanks gramma. trust me, if you were an 11 year old boy with reading issues, you would LOOOOVE me

6:55 am

(((now interpreting chog silence as general horror at my jocularity)))

6:56 am

well i must be off to work tc all and happy babbling!

6:56 am

I think I love you even though I'm a little ol*** than that

6:56 am

No way, no horror here. If I had a kid with reading issues, I would want you helping him.

6:56 am

by crossy!!!

6:56 am

bye, even

6:57 am

C'ya crossy

6:57 am

too much concentration on tring to find these last 31 words - seem to have dried up

6:57 am

gads, gramma, guess what song is stuck in my head now? LOLOL. I have such a bad case of ear worms today!

6:58 am

Sooo sorry. That's a bad one to get stuck

6:58 am

Kazzer, Do you need a kick?

6:59 am

ah, no, it's fine. love me some david cassidy, tho I must admit I was more of a shaun fan, back in the day

6:59 am

more than that - but i think i have just found another one

6:59 am

I've heard a lot about the book "I think I love you" written by a woman from Wales

7:00 am

I have 6 left;but, I have yo get to work. BBL. Thanks for the chat.

7:01 am

i have an ac and an am - clues for the rest please

7:01 am

7:21 am

is the 8 a common word

7:21 am

oops - sorry

7:21 am

I have learned to try every word even tho I am sure it will not be taken and it is

jo 8/90, an adverb from the jo 6

7:21 am

I would say no Peri, but I would guess you have at least seen it.

7:21 am

there's also a country name in this grid

7:22 am

looking for the jo6, j words are not my forte

yes dan, but it's a varnish on furniture as well as the country.

7:22 am

peri, jo8 ---merrily, in a funny manner

7:23 am

Peri, did you get the corner D?

7:23 am

sally, stats for the country name, please

7:23 am

ja5/22

ja 5/22

7:24 am

7:24 am

Never heard varnish called that before.

It's a particular style, black and very shiny.

7:24 am

found the jo6 and jo8 on morewords, new words for me

You can buy ja***ned furniture

7:26 am

I don't think it's just the varnish - think it includes that black base they paint their pictures on...or maybe that IS the varnish

7:27 am

I'm at nbt3 (3 tiles or max from every tile)

7:28 am

off for a walk see you later

7:29 am

12:50 pm

tile stats - how many from each letter

12:51 pm

hello all and hello foamflower - tile stats tell you how many words come from each letter, eg 2 off top left D and word stats tell you there are 46 four letter words 25 five letter words etc

12:51 pm

Ah! So a 6/7 F means I've found six of the possible 7 words using that letter?

12:52 pm

We are snowed in... and likely to be stuck for a couple days. Thankfully it only started to stick after we were all home yesterday! So we woke to a white wonderland and canceled school.

1:42 pm

you can keep the snow thre stiddy. it snowed here on Tues and I had to shovell again. left wrist is really hurting

1:42 pm

it's the first significant snowfall since November, and I am so grateful it snowed before the temps fell, so all my bulbs and corms are insulated from the sub-freezing temps

1:42 pm

owie peri. you could pack the wrist with snow to reduce inflammation...

1:43 pm

I am dealing with it at the moment

1:43 pm

well, I hope it feels better fast. Nothing slows down a life than a joint in pain.

1:44 pm

if it does not, will make a dr. appt.

1:44 pm

good thinking.

1:45 pm

it is the left and I am right handed

1:45 pm

I whacked my left foot really hard last night, possibly a small fracture on the pinkie toe -- but not much a doc would do beyond what I am doing (resting it, and trying to be patient). I have a huge dark bruise on the side of my foot, but it doesn't actually hurt unless I move it.

1:46 pm

that's fortunate, peri -- I learned I was ambidextrous when I hurt my right wrist in high school and managed to keep taking notes and such with my left hand. I don't have great handwriting no matter which hand I use... LOL

1:46 pm

I think that happened to me a few years again. hurt for a while but eventually healed itself

1:46 pm

LOL stiddy

1:47 pm

my handwriting has gotten wrose over the year with right hand. left hand writing was always pretty awful

1:47 pm

13 left and tired of this grid. going to take marigold out for an overdue birtday dinner tonight

1:47 pm

I know... but that explains why I am better at darts with the left hand and do well either side in archery. Actually, I used to get confused when I played baseball -- which way to stand for batting.

1:47 pm

oh, that will be so nice! tell her hello for us?

1:48 pm

I will. she took me to a nice place for dinner on Sun

1:48 pm

very nice!

1:51 pm

I am below 30 now, and time to head back to the schoolwork. (boys' day off, my regularly scheduled at-home study day)...

1:51 pm

have a lovely afternoon and evening, peri! *poof*

1:51 pm

by for now stidy

1:53 pm

2:55 pm

85 words today.

2:55 pm

Thanks so much.

2:55 pm

It actually feels more like 185, tho.

2:56 pm

No kidding

2:56 pm

2:59 pm

3:00 pm

nope, all is fine, and he is doing very well. We went out to the bank today.

3:01 pm

I posted an update on him on my profile.

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

I can't find that one frogface

3:02 pm

3:02 pm

and those are anagrams of each other

3:03 pm

past tense of french pancake

3:03 pm

(i know. stoopid word)

3:03 pm

ah, thanks doren!

3:04 pm

of course - why wouldn't a pancake have a past tense? :-/

3:04 pm

and hi, doren!

3:05 pm

and hi. but i am msoo not here (all day meetings and I need r & r -- a board meeting at 6 this evening... not even going home just trying to get a few words in here before shopping and next meeting)

3:06 pm

3:06 pm

we have a snow day doren, if you can get here, it's all-you can eat popcorn and snow ice cream!

3:06 pm

3:08 pm

thanks sue -- it's getting there. :-D

3:08 pm

*poof*

3:08 pm

why isn't pyjama a word?

3:09 pm

I was wondering that too, doren!

3:09 pm

and yet, ja5/22 is... lol

3:10 pm

3:10 pm

because it's usually spelled pajamas or pyjamas (with an s)

3:11 pm

i think it is something like lacquering finish on furniture?

3:11 pm

well, what about all those who only wear one half? last nite i only wore top half!

3:11 pm

so it was a pyjama

3:11 pm

sorry 4 blank msg me dog did that lol

I said it was a PL word

3:21 pm

ohh im sorry i didnt see that :(

3:21 pm

3:21 pm

3:21 pm

lol im like ... plural. hmm theres no s... lol

no problem :-))

3:22 pm

hi again - back after brief dad interlude :-)

3:22 pm

3:22 pm

hi kids - how is everyone - hope your life is less eventful than mine - hi sue, how's dad?

3:23 pm

nice and twisty, eh?

froggle.... did you get a list yet ?

3:23 pm

hi, jbv! dad is good - update in my profile.

PL,7/40 help please

3:23 pm

yes i kept trying plunger lol

3:23 pm

what a viking does to a village

what pirates do, flashman

3:23 pm

we had an adventure with the gas furnace this week. Short version: needed a repair, parts had to be ordered, two days WITHOUT HEAT! - now they're recommending a complete new system - looking over estimates, ugh!

3:24 pm

ow, jbv!

thank you, got it

3:24 pm

Do you have any kind of heat now?

3:24 pm

oh, I just read your profile, sue, looks like good progress for your dad - good enws

3:25 pm

news

3:25 pm

perl should be a word . :(

3:25 pm

PL7 - Attila the Hun and his armies used to pl***** villages they attacked

3:25 pm

its a computer tern

3:25 pm

term

3:25 pm

yes, system is working but they're saying it's a temporary fix, could go again at any time - it's not just sales talk - my brother-in-law was here and his expert opinion concurs

3:25 pm

dang those computer birds, cos!!

3:25 pm

that happened to us in florida in july! needed a new AC - funny how they tell you they need a new heater in winter and a new AC in summer - and youre willing to say, "yes, please!" urgh

3:26 pm

"cuer" should be as well... people who use cued sign language are called "cuer"

3:26 pm

ah, so you really do need a new one. bummer.

3:26 pm

worse than that, wordlover - they're telling me I need a complete HVAC (heating and air conditioning) - otherwise it would be two separate jobs, with a higher cost (for labor, permits, etc) so I might as well do the whole thing

3:27 pm

furnace is very old (32 years), AC is 15

3:27 pm

if you can afford it, jbv, I would recommend looking into a geothermal heat pump - they are about 2x as expensive up front (but will do both heat and air), but should pay for itself in 4-5 years (less if gas and oil prices continue to rise)

3:27 pm

this is my first big challenge without my husband who would normally handle these things

3:28 pm

2x as expensive is not good right now, sue - estimates are coming in between $8 and $10 K

3:28 pm

I had a friend who put in such a heat pump; she said that if she put a solar panel on her roof she could go completely off the grid (not that you'd want to do that, but that shows how little power it uses)

3:29 pm

jbv, where do you live? many places have incentives that will help with the cost of more efficient heating systems

3:29 pm

It's too soon to decide but I may not remain in this house for 5 more years - lots of unknowns

3:29 pm

yes, difficult decision all around :-(

3:30 pm

true, mich - they reviewed the "incentives" - there are rebates but they only apply to the more expensive systems, so in the end the cost is about the same

3:30 pm

yes, that is the down-side. the upside is lower fuel bills, and it often helps a lot with resale value

3:30 pm

if implode and explode are words, why can't plode be a word?

3:31 pm

well, considering I'm replacing a 32-year-old system, I will see efficiency benefits no matter what.

3:31 pm

if you are thinking of selling in the next several years, a highly efficient system could be a plus (make the place more attractive)

3:31 pm

I trust my brother-in-law a lot - he's an engineer and a real do-it=yourselfer can build/fix/invent anything, he's our go-to guy

3:31 pm

haha phan i agree

3:32 pm

sounds good, jbv - it helps to have more than one person making a decision like this.

3:32 pm

fo5/22 pls xxx

3:32 pm

very true. your b-i-l sounds like a great resource. I'm an architect and recently rehabbed my own 1950s house so I thought I'd throw out some info :)

3:33 pm

add sometimes vowel to fo4/8, frog

3:33 pm

frog - most ppl like their lattes fo 5/22

3:33 pm

oh, wonderful, mich - I bet it's beautiful!

3:34 pm

It was mostly the infrastructure, insulation, new plumbing, new elec panel, new, wider kitchen and a gas fireplace instead of a GIANT oil furnace. It's a one-storey 848 sf house. And it is lovely now!!

3:34 pm

havent got second fo4/8 cud i have that as well pls lol xxx

3:35 pm

and so good knowing that all the working parts are new and safe!

3:35 pm

frog -- what's on top of a latte? or in a mattress?

3:35 pm

and efficient

3:36 pm

need another clue?

3:37 pm

frog - then add high tile for the fo5

3:39 pm

ok ty sorry had to rush out but thanks for clues xxxxx

4:25 pm

4:26 pm

20 left and i need to start my round of clubbing for peace (night clubbing that is)

4:27 pm

or try jo6 - funny - jo & a **mberbu** sometimes worn with a tux

4:27 pm

hi lynxxx

4:27 pm

Hello everyone. What do you do for that jmc?

4:28 pm

sounds interesting, jmc (as does your nonprofit - I'd love to chat with you about it some time!)

4:29 pm

because a group called artists against war is playing and the cover charge is going to my org.

4:30 pm

doubly nice!

4:30 pm

email me at yahoo uu with the same name as here

4:30 pm

one of my board members is a jazz guitarist (and he is fabulous) and he set it up

4:31 pm

it will be extra nice that the crowd will not be all white peaceniks

4:31 pm

no 6/30?

4:31 pm

"Clubbing for peace". What a great concept. Have fun JMC.

4:31 pm

nu 6/30 i mean

4:32 pm

bye all (17 left and unlikely to make it back to night)

4:32 pm

no no, cos; the nu6/30 derives from the nu4/6 before it

4:32 pm

think nakedity

4:32 pm

*poof*

4:32 pm

bye jmc

4:32 pm

thanks!!

4:32 pm

As if there were an adverb for that word, but whatever.

4:32 pm

never seen that word before lol

4:33 pm

Cos, I supposed it is used when someone says "I can strake more nu6 than you."

4:33 pm

i saw it once but quickly turned my head

4:33 pm

ugh...streak

4:33 pm

lol

4:33 pm

lol i should try that sometime

4:34 pm

Same deal with nu5/14. Nu4 is nu4. There are no "degrees" of that.

4:37 pm

thanks for the nu clues people.

4:39 pm

does anyone know if there is a list posted somewhere?

4:40 pm

fmitch has one, littlebit

4:42 pm

does anyone else feel like they've been beaten to a pulp today?

4:43 pm

*sits

4:43 pm

FW

4:43 pm

I hope just by the grid Hurshy

4:43 pm

no, by life

4:43 pm

congrats Cos!

4:44 pm

I....am... awesome... if i may say so :P

4:44 pm

ugh - bad day at the office?

4:44 pm

worst ever

4:44 pm

lol Cos

4:44 pm

hooray for cos!

4:44 pm

oh, dear, hurshy - we are about to have a little whisky. Care for some?

4:44 pm

nice to see such modesty from cos ;-)

4:45 pm

and yay cos!

4:45 pm

sure, whatever.

4:45 pm

Do you need to start looking around? you seem to have quite a few bad dyas there - and it just isn't worth it

4:45 pm

well the trouble is

4:45 pm

on tuesday i thought everything was fixed

4:45 pm

that i had got the transfer i wanted and that things were going to be good

4:46 pm

and then today i had to take a lot of crap as a result of the changes that i thought were happening

4:46 pm

uh oh....

4:47 pm

and then at the end of the day i got an email which suggests that i went through today's crap for nothing at all, because i may be physically moving but keeping all my old responsibilities, which would mean no reduction in misery from the torture of current supervisor.

4:47 pm

oh, crap. Does the physical move at least mean that the misery comes less directly?

4:48 pm

no, she mostly causes misery via email anyway.

4:48 pm

mmm - sounds like you should start looking around for another job then - won't hurt to look anyway

4:48 pm

I must run, bye everyone

4:48 pm

oh, dear. I am sorry, hurshy! And just when you thought things were going to get better!

4:48 pm

bye, lynxxx!

4:49 pm

well the trouble is, you have my supervisor... her boss, who is the current director... the incoming director... the director above both of them... and his business mangager... and none of them appear to be on the same page about what exactly is happening

4:49 pm

bye lyn -- thanks for the clues I picked up on while lurking a bit

4:50 pm

what kind of work is this, hurshy?

4:50 pm

Sounds like a real mess, hurshy.

4:50 pm

stupid crappy work...

4:51 pm

go ahead and vent, hurshy :-)

4:51 pm

Can I get a hint for the ad, please? :|

4:52 pm

ad + ***le (not aunt), cgw

4:52 pm

ad + not yur aunt but your ***le

4:52 pm

i'm beyond venting. i'm not angry, i'm just completely smushed.

4:52 pm

Thanks. :)

4:52 pm

((((((((((hurshy))))))))))

4:53 pm

<-- passes hurshy a nice hot cup of green tea

4:54 pm

and the worst part is, everything that's happening is happening in order to preserve the job of my supervisor, who all but one person who has actually ever had to work with her cannot stand and who does virtually no work for 77K a year.

4:54 pm

with a shot of hot rum in it

4:55 pm

that sentence may have been confusing. oh well.

4:56 pm

not confusing, hursh -- we get the picture and it stinks

4:57 pm

not at all, hursh. I've seen similar things happen at the university.

4:59 pm

it's so frustrating, there are lots of things i could DO, but there's not a lot i could get hired to do, if you see what i mean. i would have to get some rubber stamping first and i haven't got the money or time to get them right now, my husband is in school.

4:59 pm

right - you have the skills but not the credentials, yes?

4:59 pm

yeah.

5:00 pm

like the coach in The King's Speech

5:00 pm

i'm at a university too (where my husband is getting his degree). maybe there's something about universities that promotes insanity.

5:01 pm

tell me about it :-)

5:01 pm

btw - dad is fixing dinner :-) so I will be taking off in a few minutes - yay dad!

5:05 pm

whose profile did people say has a list?

5:05 pm

fmitch

5:05 pm

thanks

5:11 pm

ruby tuesday makes a very nice crab cake.

5:11 pm

and dfm has a profile too, nicely spaced.

hello all. sorry to hear your plight, hursh.

5:14 pm

thanks, TO

5:16 pm

hi again - hi hurshy - wish we could wave a Babble magic wand and make it all better for you

and to think i was annoyed that the food circulars did not arrive today as they should have in the mail. i obvioulsy need some perspective.

5:17 pm

I get the distinct impression that I'm being ignored. Is it on purpose?

5:17 pm

thanks JBV

5:17 pm

otherwise you'll just have to get old like me so you can retire and not have to face another evil boss

phone bb

5:17 pm

you're not being ignored, jilli, i just had already started using fmitch's. but thanks anyway.

5:18 pm

hi jilli

5:18 pm

i would give anything to be old.

5:18 pm

oh good -- phew!

5:18 pm

hi jbv

5:18 pm

no, no, I was only kidding- it's no fun, believe me

hurshy: nite your tongue

bite even

5:20 pm

being young sucks. the older people who secured their careers back when the economy was good are being protected, leaving the younger folks not only with less prospect of advancement but also with even suckier situations. medicare and social security aren't going to be around when i'm old, who are we kidding. the economy shows no prospect of ever improving whatsoever. everyone has to be old sometime, and i'm saying right now is better than later. tell me how i'm wrong?

because all of those things can turn around. but you can never get your youth back.

5:21 pm

amen, TO

5:22 pm

I agree with TO and JBV.

5:22 pm

i don't think they will turn around, though. i think china and india have all the cards.

5:22 pm

I believe The Universe sends to us what we send into it. That is why I am very careful not to dabble in negative thinking.

5:22 pm

well the world is definitely changing but the young ones will be able to make the most of it

and perhaps you will very happily work for a chinese or indian run firm.

5:23 pm

I hear you, hurshy (although my state is talking about reneging on its retirement plan - I've paid in for 23 years, couldn't get social security, and have no time left to make other plans) - I worry about the world I and my age-mates are leaving for my son and his generation

5:23 pm

molly, wouldn't someone like anne frank kind of throw a wrench in your theory?

uusue has hit on a very real issue.

5:23 pm

my issue, too, TO - that's why I retired in June - I saw what was coming in NJ

5:24 pm

I may never be able to afford to retire (the downside of canceling state pensions...)

5:24 pm

and don't throw rocks at me - I'm getting a public employee pension which is quite satisfactory but that was negotiated fairly and squarely by our UNION!

5:25 pm

hi folks (i'm on the Freedom 95 plan)

5:25 pm

and if I keep my mind in shape I can still work if I want to - (I don't want to)

5:25 pm

what's that welki?

5:25 pm

i not throw rocks, i am glad for the good things people have, even when i don't have them.

5:25 pm

IL state pensions are supposedly guaranteed by the state constitution but the state has failed to make its contributions for decades now and the chickens are coming home to roost :-(

5:25 pm

you have to work til you're 95?

5:26 pm

if i make it to 95, maybe then i can retire

5:26 pm

same thing in NJ sue

it's like this: i am federal and have already had the terms of my employment and compensation changed several times. i pay into ss and medicare. i pay for half health insurance gladly, and pay 100% for dental - my choice. also not gettting a raise for three years. i am taking in effect a pay cut of 6-8%. but ABC nes won't tell you that.

5:26 pm

"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be..." (Tennyson)

5:26 pm

wow, Jilli - we needed that - beautiful!

5:27 pm

TO, the state of Illinois pension plan replaces social security, so I don't even have that.

but i do agree that that looks like a walk in the park compared to what our new hires see for themselves. and i am very sympathetic.

5:27 pm

cabin boy, oh cabin boy, you dirty little nipper ....

5:27 pm

Can I get a hint for the first fo4?

WELK!

5:28 pm

dinner - bbl

5:28 pm

I know the rest of that, welki...!

5:28 pm

on the other hand, lots of us old gals didn't make it full time in the workplace until we were too old to benefit from any pension plans/retirement packages ... at least with a good head start, these days women can start saving early

5:28 pm

(i like a little levity thrown in :)

5:28 pm

nvm, got it.

5:29 pm

Except the version hubby told me was "The cabin boy was the captain's joy..."

welki, tough times to save though, now. now don't bogart that cabnan boy :P

5:29 pm

hursh, it's always rough .. we had the same concerns as you. things will work out

hurshy, feds are hiring big time, check it out. every career that exists in the private sector exists in fed govt.

5:30 pm

(did i make a pb entry?)

5:30 pm

Fireworks. :)

5:30 pm

<-- always points folks toward government work, too

5:30 pm

i guess i do agree that things have a chance of working out in the long run. it's just hard to see the forest for the trees, because right now my options are limited, i have to live where i live until my husband finishes his degree, so another 3-4 years.

at least to ride out the tough times.

5:30 pm

congrats, cgw

5:31 pm

Thanks. :)

yay cg!

5:31 pm

dinner time for me, too - see you later and good luck with the grid

5:31 pm

in the broad scope, 3-4 years may very well be worth the wait. hard to see beyond the "now"" i'll bet

5:31 pm

Bye, all. *poof*

5:31 pm

how can the feds be hiring big time when all i keep hearing about is republicans cutting everything?!? but if they are, where does one go to look at the options?

5:32 pm

what is your husband studying, hursh?

5:32 pm

i should mention that that's 3-4 MORE years, we've already been here for almost 3. he's studying comparative literature.

hurshy: because they had frozen hirng for so many years, that retirement outpaced hiring.

5:32 pm

because many people are retiring - even with hiring cuts, positions need to be filled

5:33 pm

so is there a central website with all the postings?

they are not hiring one for one, but still need to hire.

5:33 pm

so he will be teaching when all is done?

yes hurshy. usajobs.gov

5:34 pm

try the feds, try the state, try municipal ... try it all

5:34 pm

yes, most likely teaching. but since it involves multiple languages, there are also other things he could do with that (like work for the government, dealing with russia, for instance!)

5:34 pm

thanks, guys, i'll check that out.

OMG the libyans used a dating website to do their political work because other sites were censored!

5:40 pm

done! anyone need a clue or two?

5:43 pm

well then, later babblers - enjoy your evening :)

5:43 pm

Congrats, welki!

5:44 pm

Clue for the 8 please

5:45 pm

hursh, your hubby's future sounds most promising and forward-looking. Chins up, as my dad used to say to my mother when she felt down about things as we all do from time to time.

5:46 pm

it's jo8/90, craftylady

5:48 pm

means "in a cheerful way"

5:56 pm

Hello all! Hi Sis!

5:58 pm

Who's got a list?

6:01 pm

volleymomdee I think and fmitch

6:02 pm

6:04 pm

Hello all. Waves at Jillibus and her icon!!

6:04 pm

hi bugs

6:05 pm

Hi wildcat

6:05 pm

volleyd, no and can't find fmitch *heavy sigh*

6:05 pm

no? someone said volley earlier ... try dfm whatever his name is

6:06 pm

jac usually does

6:06 pm

I got one from fmitch this morning before work. Go to Rankings, hit Control and F and it will highlight her name for you

6:07 pm

Jacula doesn't either... :( *putting big girl panties on*

6:07 pm

ty bugs

6:08 pm

yw

6:08 pm

6:09 pm

I always forget how to locate someone there too but someone reminded me this morning so I got it for when I need it.

6:09 pm

weird grid

6:10 pm

and I learned it new...always good to learn new things!

6:12 pm

FMitch has a list

6:13 pm

hi all -- I took a little break so missed your arrival -- dfm has a list and so does FMitch. Dfm posted his about an hour after the flip last night.

6:14 pm

May I suggest that when you see list-makers online, you put them in your My Friends -- then you can always refer back to them there.

6:15 pm

I wonder if craftylady got the clues I gave at 5:48.

6:16 pm

Jacula usually has the list, but will grab fmitch next time; I do have dmc, just so rely on jacula...hi sis

6:19 pm

hi jj

6:21 pm

I think dfm will have a list before anyone else, if he continues to post one and I think he will.

6:21 pm

some babblers just amaze me!

6:21 pm

Of course volleymomdee usually has a list early but she didn't last night.

6:22 pm

lude

6:22 pm

How is your weather sis? we are in a winter snow storm and it's 10 degrees (F)

6:22 pm

dfm seems to be very very smart

6:22 pm

dammit..sorry..howdy everyone

6:22 pm

Crossy!!

6:22 pm

busted for lurking crossy!

6:23 pm

i are busted

6:23 pm

we had an unexpected snowfall here yesterday and it's just at the freezing point now, but sunny -- still not melting.

6:23 pm

hi crossy

6:23 pm

and what a word to do it with...*laughing hysterically*

6:24 pm

what is 'sun'?...lol

6:24 pm

I am personally putting on layers of clothes when crossy is on line....

6:24 pm

We haven't seem much of it here lately, jj

6:24 pm

crossy...phantom: prelude

6:25 pm

bugs -- did you get snow yesterday?

6:25 pm

we still had snow on the garden when it fell again yesterday but the roads are clear up here, jilli

6:25 pm

Wow, the tulips haven't even showed up here.

6:26 pm

icy at night or in the shade

6:26 pm

son had to drive from Crofton to Nanaimo yesterday in the snowstorm -- said it was white-knuckle slippery near Nananimo. But he made it safely home to Mission

6:26 pm

I only saw one patch of snowdrops in town last Friday and they are covered again.

6:27 pm

Our roads are nasty right now...but I'm in for the night. So glad I live in town, only 2 miles from work.

6:27 pm

I have lots of snowdrops and crocuses and the daffs are poking up well through the snow -- we didn't get a lot.

6:28 pm

Cross, did you chuckle when you figured out lu4 was a playable word? I did. : D

6:28 pm

But the frost has hurt the lovely white hellebores.

6:29 pm

you always get spring much sooner than we do. We live just under Mt Washington and the range it is in

6:29 pm

I didn't notice that Molly. thanks

6:36 pm

6:49 pm

bye kje, same to you.

6:54 pm

Good Evening Everybody.

one of my favorite movies is on tcm at 8 - dodsworth!

TCM- yay!

6:57 pm

Thanks, diving in!

hello all

6:58 pm

Hi TO, Kap, and Krista

Hey Nef

6:58 pm

I love TCM. There is nothing like a great classic movie. One of my goals is to start collecting my favorites. Gaslight, Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, etc.

I will be very happy in the senior home with my TCM.

Myrna Loy rocks.

she does. as does william powell

7:00 pm

not me. I'd want Nat. Geo, Science Ch, History Ch.; etc.

How glamorous it was to drink like a fish.

wow did they ever make it so

hello babblers

i love that 30's style - furniture, etc

7:02 pm

hi Shooless! How are you tonight?

has anyone else ever seen this film?

which

7:03 pm

not me

hi nef, im ok thankyou. a bit tired, i wont stay on too long. its been a busy day. how are you?

7:04 pm

same here. Did you have a show tonight or something else?

dodsworth

I am recording it now. Did you see Elmer gantry with Burt Lancaster?

I never could understand why they remake great movies. What was Sabrina without Audrey Hepburn? What was Born Yesterday without Judy Holliday? WHy not just re-release them and let people see how great they were?

Next they'll re-make casablanca with Tom Cruise.

Citizen Kane with Bruce Willis.

It Happened One Night with Jennifer Aniston

and who for the lead? Ben Stiller?

lol. no i have not seen elmer gantry in ages. but oscar month is always a treat

I like "The Essentials"

two shows today nef. good shows, nice crowds in copenhagen, if a little quiet. you have a good day?

Of course, the 1950 "Star is Born" was a remake, and it was great.

I love these cross conversations.

Copenhagen- my daughter was there last year for a semester.

7:13 pm

Sorry I missed your hellos, Nef and TO. Was deep in the grid.

This grid is small but hard.

it seems like a nice town Kap, the little of it that ive seen so far. cold, but nice.

i need to get up super early, need to finish

Yeah, she was cold.

7:14 pm

Yes, I am seeing more phantoms than actual words.

Flypaper.

7:15 pm

how co4/6 is it there?

Pajama

ive got 55 left. not doing so well.

Oh, cripes, I am in the PB.

So is shooless. What's the fare?

7:15 pm

Awesome, thanks Kaplan.

7:16 pm

hey wait..that's not in the gird. Darn.

oops, what did i do? i dont knwo the rules

7:16 pm

fresh hot fudge brownies in the PB tonight! :-)

You said the word co4.

7:17 pm

shooless, you said a *WORD* in the chog (the temp word)

nef, it was about -4 today. oh ok, woops, apologies.

Krista, I wondered why you were thanking me for my phantoms.

7:18 pm

Right, lol.

7:18 pm

is that -4C or -4F? It was 16F here

7:18 pm

prelude

7:19 pm

Kap, please let me know what elders home you will be checking into. I will be your roomie and we will pick what is on for movie night. NO REMAKES.

-4C, its not so bad in the grand scheme i guess, but we just got warmer in the UK, so its like winter is just continuing on for us.

No Adam Sandler in "the Gold Rush?" No Steve Carrell in Get Smart?

7:20 pm

Hey Molly, just saw where you live. I'm in Hagerstown.

Hello all. good gracious negative anything or teens, too cool....

I'm going to whichever home has the widest screen TV.

I will hog the remote.

7:21 pm

No and no Kap. And every Thursday night will be an Alan Sherman sing-a-long.

When you live long enough, you have the right to hog the remote.

7:21 pm

Hi Krista...over the mountain.

Members of Hadassah!

7:21 pm

Hi Red

7:22 pm

I'm your country cousin.

hello Krista. How is everything going.

7:22 pm

Hi Red.

hi Molly.

7:22 pm

well, i just applied for another job. odds are never high on any given application, i know, but, worth a shot. it sounds like something i could be really excited about.

7:22 pm

Very well in general, Red, though we're passing around a cold. Such is life in February. How are you?

If I ever come to my parents home again, we shall have to have a Babble get together.

7:23 pm

so wish me luck!

I am doing well, we are having super weather and it has improved my mood.

Good Luck Hursh!!!!!!

I have to put the laundry in the dryer. Good night.

7:23 pm

I would love that, Red, very much! Yep, some sun would perk me up, I'm sure.

good night Kaplan The magne.

7:24 pm

Best of luck Hursh.

7:24 pm

Goodnight, Kaplan!

good night Kap, and very good luck hurshy.

bye kap hi hursh hi red, did you see the shuttle launch?

I forgot. It did come right over the hospital. But to be honest its really humid and about to rain, so I probably would not have seen anything anyway.

How is everything up North?

oh down to 19!

7:28 pm

It's kind of strange how riveted we used to be when a space craft launched, and now we are collectively "meh" about it.

7:29 pm

It's sad, isn't it, Molly. I had my kids watch and had to explain why it was cool. :/

it is jus tthat particular spacecraft that is retiring?

7:30 pm

All the shuttles have one more launch. This was Discover's last.

7:31 pm

Discovery

is there anything to replace them?

7:33 pm

yeah.. all the homeless people who need to eat

There is no plan to replace them or to continue the space shuttle program, essentially. it was one of the big sticking points her ein Florida...lots of ppl on space coast out of jobs.

7:34 pm

they will hitch a ride to the space station with Russians, then with commercial flights

7:35 pm

Hi ruru

7:35 pm

hi krista

7:35 pm

I think the space program is an incredible waste of money

I have no opinion on it.

but I have enjoyed visiting the Space Center.

7:37 pm

I think it's interesting, and important to stay competitive with other nations in that area, but I have to agree. I hate hearing about populating the moon, etc. We can't take care of this planet, why do we think we should start ruining others.

time to dive into it and finish

7:38 pm

evening all

7:38 pm

I may need to go to the list, down to , err 18.

7:48 pm

jo4 rhymes with co4

7:48 pm

ha! nerds rock!

7:48 pm

jo6 = jo + vowel + not over (***er)

7:49 pm

AH....so it's not just a proper noun. Finally got it, thanks (the country).

7:49 pm

Got the country

7:49 pm

The jo6 and jo8 are such merry little words.

I think its a word which was used to denote cheap imitation goods...

7:50 pm

Krista, I make it a practice to try any proper noun I see. You never know what Enable will take.

7:50 pm

who has a list tonight?

and of course the proper noun...

7:50 pm

lickety does

i am craving salt again tonight, i wonder why?

7:51 pm

i went to lickety and only saw feb 23

7:51 pm

Thanks, Red, and good rule of thumb, wht, which I should know to use by now.

7:51 pm

hmmm, don't see lickety's list for today

7:51 pm

Got the 6! What is the 8?

i think it is a decorative process, a verb

7:52 pm

An adverb, I think Mark

7:52 pm

oops, I guess you're right, wordlover (sorry, I didn't use it)

7:52 pm

Ah. Thanks wht!

7:52 pm

the 6 and make it an adverb

7:52 pm

I can't get the 6...clue please for the jo 6?

7:52 pm

jo6 = jo8 + On** the Lone** (song)

pa7 pls?

7:52 pm

jo6 = jo + cons + 3/5 of not over (***er)

7:52 pm

pa7 - cargo

7:52 pm

jo+consonant+***er, not over

7:52 pm

pa7 = compound

7:53 pm

someone clued it as a vowel a while back, and it took me a long time to get it

7:53 pm

FMitch has a list

7:53 pm

sorry, jes..my bad

7:53 pm

spankings, pini :)

7:53 pm

* ouch *

7:53 pm

Best clue for jo6 today was jo+ a *umberb*** is sometimes worn with a tuxedo.

7:54 pm

nice one, molly

7:54 pm

Not mine, someone else clued it today. I thought it was very clever.

7:54 pm

Thank you for jo clues. Would have never found it, though it seems obvious now.

7:54 pm

I always wear a jo with my tuxedo and *umberb***

ty, very apropo in lieu of space shuttle thread

7:58 pm

8:06 pm

re + I **** guilty in court once

8:07 pm

no, i got it, but i think the word itself is a little goofy!

8:08 pm

Cold enough for you dawg?

8:22 pm

8:23 pm

AH, fish me on that one.

8:25 pm

alternate spelling of arab ruler

aaaaaah. an unusual spelling!

8:25 pm

that's the chemistry word pini!

thanks!

7 left.

8:25 pm

hi Jilly, yea, way colder than necessary! how about you? are you snowed in?

8:26 pm

go red go!

8:27 pm

is your paper finalized, stid?

8:27 pm

we're still getting occasional snow, but it's tapering way off. Since it was so warm yesterday, the residual heat in the roads and soil helped melt some of it off.

8:28 pm

it snowed here last night...all the schools were closed for today...but the snow was gone by noon...

8:28 pm

Not sure if it's snowing or just blowing snow around.brrrrrrr...7 degrees here

8:28 pm

no LBD, but it's coming together. I will be DONE by Tuesday. Today I worked on it some, did some work for the science strand and also started getting caught up on some work for the differentiated instruction/special ed component

8:29 pm

...and now it's wet and more snow is expected with a temperature drop, so tomorrow morning should be really interesting...all icey and everything...

8:29 pm

...I think I'll stay home.

8:29 pm

schools were closed today here, too, much to the boys' delight. I think tomorrow there will be a delay, but suspect school will be open. Whether we can get our own kids there (or me to the college) is another story.

8:30 pm

good thinking Pini. i think you should stay home too, stid.

8:30 pm

I brought the dept laptop home and will work from my bed tmw rather than join the road circus

8:30 pm

brb

8:31 pm

i was surprised to have almost all my students show up for class last night. it was cold and windy, ground blizzards.

8:31 pm

Oh, I should amend my statement to say that every school in the city was closed today EXCEPT for the uni :(

8:31 pm

oh my, with no fish to eat thanks to Bear Grylls, the kid is still hungry...must go then get kids off to bed...it was so nice "seeing" you all tonight.

8:31 pm

* figures *

8:32 pm

ditto krista...take care

8:32 pm

(not sure how Bear Grylls bears into no fish eating) * pondering *

8:32 pm

not often do uni's close. i can only think of one occassion that MSU closed, and that was closed by the Hwy Patrol. emergency travel only.

8:32 pm

good idea pini

8:32 pm

later krista!

8:33 pm

I'm back! Hey stid, ibd!

8:33 pm

night Krista!

8:33 pm

I wish, lbd...it was like a ghost town today!

8:33 pm

Hiya mark! you have an icon!!

8:33 pm

once again, two of the three colleges in our town were closed. mine was not. I am perturbed. This time, school was actually in session.

8:33 pm

hey mark!

8:33 pm

but I lasted from 9 - 4 (straight thru)

8:33 pm

wb mark

8:34 pm

Can i have the middle o?

8:34 pm

but I didn't have anything going today so it wasn't a big deal to me personally... but one friend started driving down from Seattle before our faculty member sent out an email saying that people could call in if they had a meeting scheduled. *sigh*

8:34 pm

Pini -he just started to eat fish with catsup when Bear began cutting open a seal for its skin on tv...very bloody and it ruined his appetite. I never eat during that program. Nighters all!

someone who is not younger...

8:34 pm

mark: not younger

8:34 pm

every year you celebrate getting a year ol***, mark

8:35 pm

Thanks ibd and stid!

8:35 pm

oh, my, krista...that'd do it!

10:44 pm

pini there is one person elsewhere who has shortened my na4 down to `c' because that's `d' without the vertical stem... and I'm called just `d' widely, too...

10:45 pm
