ty jilli
very slow starting, but picked up!
I'm so mad at this new computer!
so frustrating
beautiful plum blossoms, jilli
I'll call them tomorrow but I doubt if they can help figure out what's up with Babble -- they're not familiar with it.
I love flowering plums.
that is very strange, wonder if Lickety himself could help
or Dr.G
Well, time will tell. At least it's ok on the laptop.
that's good, and you're comfortable working with laptop? I still don't really care for it
I don't think it would have anything to do with DrG -- it's part of Expert that isn't working properly and DrG has noting to do with that.
George seems ok with it
I like the laptop but it's now in an inconvenient place.
Alley gave us a nice deep laptop cushion to sit it on
This is so inconsistent -- the last time the list changed at flip time, but not this time. Maybe it will at the hiccup -- that happened once before.
I thought you had it working at one time
do you want any clues?
I have a laptop cushion too -- Xmas present -- haven't used it yet. I have the laptop on the kitchen table.
I've used it on the coffee table when watching TV downstairs
Yes, it works sometimes -- sometimes not.
so annoying!
Very. Anyway, I'm going to head for bed before long -- tired. It's been a dizzying few days!
ok, me too, goodnight then
Any clues for the A words that aren't about being against something?
see you at bridge tomorrow
an7 and 8 - think imunology
gnight flosey -- cya!
and ty for those an words
ah, yw jilli
an4 - same 4, then plural
an4 picnic pest
an5 - french den or lair
and now must be off to bed, goodnight all
gnight again flosey
good idea... tom jefferson is waiting for me in my room... hope he has the bed turned doen and the light on
nite all
gnight smom
afternoon all :)
afternoon mr. pres
is this grid half decent??
giving this my noob team trouble ... but the vets say its easy =]
hello mr pres!
just changed icon for tomorrow, poof
I shuddered at first mrp, but after a few minutes the words fell into place
plus asked for a few clues
and really poof now
hi mrp! Just tuned back in
Ageof, I don't think this gird is easy but then I'm half asleep
*grid (see -- can't even type)
hey all
a little one eh?
hi m9
long midnight blip
got nbt but not nbs. and over 1/2way
first 60 went pretty quick
I have 4 left but must take a small break now -- back asap
k
I've been having the weirdest problems with Babble Expert on my new desktop.
oh no.
I haven't used expert
nbs!
changing icons doesn't work unless I do it on the laptop -- then it changes in the profile on the desktop but not on the screen until the flip. Lickety's list won't change until after the midnight hiccup.
Expert is wonderful -- I can't remember why you don't use it -- do you have a Mac?
wtg re nbt/nbs
no.. it's cause I can't put anything on this laptop
oh yes -- hubby doesn't like it, right?
yuyp
yup
bummer
i only have one off that bottom n...
can't think what else would comeoff there!
ok.. now 2
LOL
3.
***fireworks***
32 left.. suppose I should list..
WTG!
lots of useless words here
but I don't want to list when I only have 1 of 6 off the left i!
I'd like to help but I really must pack it in.
ok.. got 3 of them now
no prob.. I have 30 left.
I'll leave them for tomorrow.. I should pack it in too!
I don't see any point in holding off the list -- I use it after getting nbt
I always try to get nbs, nbt and 1/2 way
just my thing.LOL
I'm too thick to wait for halfway -- and too impatient.
Anyway, goodnight and happy babbling tomorrow...*poof*
good morning everybody
hi ruby -- did you see all our birthday wishes yesterday?
yes, jilli, it was wonderful! I think that is the best birthday I've had in many years and my babble friends doubled the pleasure. The only think I missed, I think, was Sprite's birthday icon. My computer kept quitting on me all day
I don't feel much older, only a little.....
it was also nice to share it with wildcat, who I think is pretty shy. She lives in Austin, like my son
Sprite's birthday icon for you is still up if you have her in your My Friends here -- or you could find her in Rankings
I hope you saw that I posted Ruby Foo's restaurant in Montreal ;-)
no, sprite isn't in my friends (why? lol)
it is too funny about Rubyfoo's in Montreal because that was the restaurant in NY where my mother used to take me as a special treat when I was little
I'll look for Sprite in the rankings. You friends are the best!
When sprite comes online, you can put her in your Friends.
And now I must repoof...*
yay! I finally was able to find Sprite's birthday icon.. It was adorable - my Max with a candle on his nose.
Unfortunately, whenever I do anything other than just play, my connection breaks and I have to re-boot!
*unpoof...I thought you'd get a kick out of it...*re-repoof (for sure this time!)
thank you!
Clue please for ge 6/27
hi gran, don't have it yet
aah, got it, but you don't have to be a ge6/27 to find it, if I can!
XD
for nbt, do you have the right column e?
en + litigation.
ty dachef, slap me with a mackerel!
ee5.10 (weird) and eg4.6
Happy unbirthday Ruby! Hello everyone
's fine. Took me 2 hours the other day to find 'tret'.
{{lynxx}} thank you. It was splendid! Getting old has its good points.....
morning all, can't sleep as usual
hi Sue
my dog has just gone in and out of the studio 10 times and it's freezing out there!
hi, lynxxx
hello su*; your are in the grid!
just noticed that, ruby :-) don't think I make any words, tho
you*
oh yes, I do, just don't start any, I guess
dachef had to show me.
but you follow....lol
does anybody have an 8 or a 7?
or at least the beginnings of them so I can put the monkeys to work?

hello glanta, that was a lovely Welsh birthday icon!!!
I thought you were just up very early, sue
glad you liked it and hope you had a lovely day
it was a wonderful day! But now I'm older....that's the bad news
the house is full of flowers as is the garden
bettter than the alternative!
yes, for sure!
phantom intrigue
31 left, but these will be one-by-one, if at all....
nice phantom
61 left for me but only at I
HI everybody. Rubes - did you have a good birthday?
hi soodle
{{soodle}} yes, it was lovely, much better than I expected!
Good!
husband was a champ!
I'm delighted!
you don't say that very often ruby!
Yes, at Babble husbands are most often presented as chumps, not champs.
I have to go to a funeral this morning. A dear friend passed away after suffering from MS for 16 years.
sorry to hear that soodle
oh, so sad! extra big {{}}'s for you soodle
BR - I am jaded and biased at present but my husband is definitely a chump
he's back to normal this AM, but he was lovely all weekend
BabbleRabble, are you speaking as a husband, or an observer?
is BR a spy for "the other side"?
hahahah
Hello, Soodlebum. I was fortunate to have been refused by all whom I thought I loved. I speak as an observer, recognizing there are for more wives that husbands here.
Spoken like a true bachelor!
I wish I'd refused all those I thought I loved :-)
I think you are much loved in Babble, BR!!!
or like a ge7!
I was lucky to have a loooong space of freedom between husbands!
sorry was on phone call!
hello all again :)
bore da mr P
r's rolfed, h's handled, e's ended
"Bachelor" is a pejorative to many. One of my aunts at every gathering would tell anyone who would listen I was gay. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being gay. Still, I was ostracised.
hello mrp
sorry to hear that BR - how unkind
I think we all have at least one aunt like that! But that is really rotten
That is just crazy babrab.... none of their business either
I think I would ask her rude questions about her private life (or lack of lol)
That no amount of discussion could convince the aunt otherwise was more frustration. She perceived her outbursts as her Christian duty.
sounds very un-Christian to me!
Oh well, I can laugh about it now.
Many Christians who express themselves forcefully and self righteously are un-Christian, I have noticed
glad you can laugh now BR
yes, but it must have been painful and frustrating at the time
it's like being asked "When did you stop beating your wife?" There isn't a good answer
my monkey can't find the V - and I can't see any more choices LOL
vi4/7 - where the grape grows but with a different final vowel.
we have a desparaging saying here... 'he is a LOVELY boy'... and everyone says, 'OOOOHHHH!'
TY Haz - i knew it was there somewhere!
You're welcome.
that's nasty, too, mrp
too right ruby
it's hard to understand that kind of self-righteous and outspoken intolerance and smugness
(if only the h's were near the t's, it would change the outcome quite a lot)
I am beginning to learn that the perception and uglyness in people who think they are above everyone else morally are the ones that are stupid or evil.
amen, mrp!
on a good note! we have Easter and Anzac Day all wrapped in the same week... so we all get 5 days off!!!
we get easter and a royal wedding...
that's a nice treat! how is the weather?
oh the wedding!! I am so looking forward to that!!
was that honest or ironic Mr P?
here they don't celebrate(??) Good Friday like in NY, but instead take off on Easter Monday.
weather is up and down... either raining like heck of sunny and gorgeous!! that is our April/May weather.
in NY people fasted and spent the day in church. Not here!
sunny and gorgeous here
it is cooler now than it was a month ago, but it is making the spring flowers last longer, so I don't mind
We have Good Friday off, and no business open (no alcohol can be sold on that day), Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday... the Anzac day adds to it
surprisingly, locals don't go to church here. They had to close down the church in our village, except for funerals, because they lost the priest.
I always thought the French were religious until I moved here. The locals refer to "Cathos" disparagingly, which I find sort of funny, having grown up in a Catholig neighborhood
Not sure about the French... they eat horses and snails and puppy dog tails! LOL
and the dearth of rabbits, squirrels and deer, give me pause as well
and the women wear coats made of hundreds of tiny skins - mice, rats, squirrels?
mind you, we can't talk here in Australia... Kangaroo (which is on our national emblem) is sold in all supermarkets
we have edible snails in the garden, but I'd rather buy them frozen and ready to put in the oven then have to purge them for 2 days, etc.
no kidding, mrp. How does it taste? Tough?
it is really good! just like venison
we have lots of wild boar which they eat and serve locally, but I don't like it
never had boar... but have goat all the time
(not a big venison fan, either)
I love goat if it's well done enough
our local Italian restaurant makes it for Easter
we also have crocodile, emu and snake
I have croc shoes, but have never eaten it. They served alligator in Florida, but I think I only had it once and don't remember the taste
unfortunately, kangaroos are considered a pest here... and they are culled all the time.
emu must taste like austrich, which I've had -- not distinguished, I thought
we have a farm, 3500 acres, and they shooters come every few months.
that's what they did with deer in NY State. There were just too many and they set different quotas each year, some for does, etc.
emu is like goose... just more pheasant like
ostrich*
so not so fatty
I would love it then
all our pet food is made from kangaroo
you would luv emu!! it is a good bird to eat
I make beef hearts and chicken liver risotto for the dogs, with brown rice
lucky dogs!!
I would try any food but tend to like the nasty bits....
they are definitely spoiled but smile a lot
I tease the kids all the time, tell them that I am making Dolphin skewers, Bat wings, Goanna tail stew and Echindna pie
what is goanna?
sounds like a lizard
a massive mentor lizard
my husband won't eat any "exotica", he just like everything with hot peppers
with claws about 3 inches long!! like a Jersey girl wearing reptile skin
I think lizards can be beautiful, like snakes, but we only have little brown and black ones. Are they dangerous?
love reptile skin!
the goannas?? oh yeah!! they climb you and vicerate you
oooh, are there many?
your wildlife is a lot scarier than ours. Here, the only dangerous thing is vipers, but there aren't that many and they're very shy
well, we have 4 in our backyard everyday
wow!
are the children safe?
Do they eat all the insects?
all this talk of exotic food is making me hungry. I had better go and fix lunch.
see you later! nice talking with you mrp
you too darling!! have to go prepare dinner myself!
HI

very rare up here,we got a small twister 2 years ago.last big one was in 1980
we actually had a very small earthquake here a few years back.. whole house shook, was scary

Mornin' y'all
howdy odin
Hi Odin
hiya odin
Heyas kids ..
howdy torgone
Good Mornin' ma'am. I believe you need to get the bloody hell out of your neck of the woods and come to so. Fla for a warmin'
torg.....hiya!!!
Hi Torg
If it's summer u want...we got it now!
We ust need the heating fixing
Lovely day in Melbourne today ..
Sorry to hear that hrinfer
summer...i..can..almost remember what it was like...
hello again, 26 impossible words left!
((ruby))
Absolutely torgone 86 here yesterday
Hola ruby
Different Melbourne ..
hola odin, I used to live i n Miami before here. I loved it, but don't miss the mosquiteoes!
i must visit melbourne one day the one down under that is
FL Melbourne?
RUBYYYYYYYYYY I wanted to personally wish you a Happy BIrthday
{{crossy}} I'm much older than the last time we spoke....
Oz Melbourne ..
thank you herin!!!! {{big hugs for you}}; you are my hero!
true enough Ruby! They stopped allocating funds for spraying so encephalitis and bird flu and whatever else is free game now
or however you spell them....
happy b-day ruby tuesday!
there were times in Miami, when you couldn't get out of the car because the mosquitoes would dive-bomb it!
Ruby Monday, today
HAPPY b'day RUBY! (oDIN BUYS A ROUND AND TOASTS)
crossy breaks out the bacon vodka....
happy birthday ruby! many more!
ready for a round! but husband came through, was a rela champ!
Awww Ruby
thank you ivesey. NYC sounds more like upstate NY, winter and then gnats
or even a real* champ
I worked EMS and there are some canals that you'd swear they would carry you off. Welts everywhere.
14 words left here......
I hate winter I am getting sick again
no mosquitoes here I think because we have a bat cave just above us in the cliff
western tier, we get some crap weather, but we seem to forget when its gorgeous in the summer
no, don't get sick, herin. Come here for a cure!
bats can be handy
if we get summer , lol
Odin send a "special hot toddy" to herinfer
<-- loves bats
Binghamton had the worst weather imaginable, less sunshine than Seattle even
like tiny black butterflies
Worse than Seattle...that's really bad weather then
no sunshine
Bats aren't too prevelent here any more. I still see a few now and then.
this place has perfect weather, 4 real seasons, the longest being (my favorite) spring
crossy cannot wait for real spring....
I think NY state has suffered white-nose-fungus collapse for its bats
and fall rocks here as well
I have heard it is wonderful up your way. Friends in San Diego swear they have the best.
Binghamton had no spring
our fall isn't much; the forests don't have maples so they're mostly just yellow and bornw
San Diego is the best ..
ooh, fungus is a phantom: I almost made a faux pas!
San D is great except for the airport which is a hairraiser!
YUP TORGONE...YOU ROCK WITH WEATHER FOR SURE!
Thanks. I think I will just rattle about all winter
if you change your mind, herin, there's a lovely guest suite chez moi!
WOOOP
torgone has the best zoo! and abalone!
He does
zoo does get within the best too. Your right Rub
and tacos
drool
Fish Tacos. Odin's mouth waters uncontrollably
the worst, but also sweetest, zoo is where my son lives, AustinTX. It is mostly rescue animals (drug dealers' lions, etc) and there are huge tortoises that just wander around.
<-- loves Mexican food
What the heck is it with you guys and fish tacos that sounds gross
One would think you could get a good fish taco in south florida, however, even with all of our seafood, we can't seem to get the good stuff like torgone can!
I like beef tacoes with plenty of guacamole and also plenty of margueritas!!!!
No seriously it sounds gross
in Sou. Fla. it was lobster tails, grilled, and lovely Cuban food
for those that can get here on time brekkies today is crossy,s famouse canadin north woods special double yolk brown eggs fried in butter,crispy has browns,crunchy maple and hickory bacon,toasted english muffins with gooseberry jam,apple jelly or 3 fruit marmalade and all washed down with fresh oj(no pulp)
(to me, too, herin)
Herinfer...they are the best. Fried fish in soft taco shell with the fixins. They will make your lips smack your gums for sure!
But we can't get a Cubano sandwich here ..
droooollllll
OMG crossy, I don't think I can get there in time.....
fish tacos???
love Cubano sandwiches
Cuban or Cubano?
Damn crosshair...now that sounds really hood! Send one down!
squished down ham, cheese, sweet Cuban beread and cooked in a flat grill thingie\
my brekkies are world renowned odin:)
I think that crossie wins the "best breakfast" prize!!!!
I don't know about everyone else but this food chat is killin' me. I want one of everything we've discussed...anyone else?
and now, with 26 to go, it's newspaper and siesta time
you generally have to pass on lunch after one of these
OK, to add to driving you crazy, I have an "elephant ears" pastry, aka palmier, waiting for me upstairs
I actually weigh 350, but hide it all with smoke and mirrors
crossy does not eat animal ears...lol
Odin is still drooling...starbucks just isn't enough.
starbucks=overpriced tar
they use the same pastry as for croissants, but make it sweet with syrup and bake it in swirls. It is so good, you could cry!
my brother sends me coffee from costa rica(but he is in LV atm)
LV?
says houses are so cheap in LV ,it is like a 2 for 1 sale
las vegas
aaah
This was my lunch today: http://tinyurl.com/4ypvkcl
Yeah but coffee is a main food group for me and they're everywhere. Dig Cuban coffee the most...Miami Ruby!
and *poof*
but they put too much sugar! here I drink a double expresso with boiled whole milk for breakfast, at least 2 food groups
pretty fancy looking lunch there herin
We have a condo in vegas. Real estate was great like fl's and then it took a dive. Houses are dirt cheap there and here.
miami too, from what I read
Good job on the food groups Ruby! 2 at a time...healthy
he got a 3500 sq ft brick home 5 min from the strip 5 bdrm,3 bath for 200 k!
That was $15 and damn tastey
(plus a piece of whole wheat toast, lots of butter, homemade jam and a cream cheese)
they are a dime a dozen crosshair. People are just letting them go.
OK, checking out herin's lunch which will probably disconnect me.....
LOL Herin!
crazy,and up here we are into bidding wars where places can and often do go 100k over list
we even have what they call "real estate bullys" who will jump un and put a offer on the table 50g over lust that is good for 2 or 3 hours just to kull off other bids
The place is Cafe Vu Restaurant is Vue du monde. Should be called Vu du NOOOOOOOOM
We have illegal rental auctions here.
list*
that is amazing. My Canadian friend told me the same thing. Here it is retirement heaven for the boomers. 4 or 5 bedrooms, pools, beautiful lots theat were 450,000 to 800,000 are 200ish now
yup,i know many friends who are snapping up 2 or 3 condos in fla
Cafe Vu du NOOOOOOOOOM - it's catch Her
and with our dollar over par it is even better
catchy Her
and to save on out of country owner taxes,all you have to do is open a dummy u.s company
You have it good there crosshair. no crime, dollar over par..
The Vu is a great place apparently busy. I just wanted to try and the cute thing is the cute little peg that holds the napkin
good thing is odin,if we buy enough of your homes,it will pull things out of that slump
last murder we had here was in 1985 odin,but our big city Toronto is a different story
if we aren't careful China will own the U.S. crosshair. They just bought another huge south florida mall and the surrounding land!
:(
china is also eyeballing our oil fields....
Did they really take their eyeballs out?
I saw a 60 mins piece that showed people didn't lock there doors and no stealing guns or violent crime (exception in Toronto is like some other big cities) but they praised the Canadians and their neighoorhoods and sense of security.
lol,learn the slang darling,grab a fosters and put a shrimp on the barbie lol
What you actually want me to drink cat piss?
not quote like that odin,but not far off
Excuse my potty mouth

VB is better than Fosters ..
Not pumpkin but cranberry recently

Talk to him Herin...
Straighten him out...
any clue for the sk5/24 ?
It was juice not beer
I haven't had all the Aussie ales yet but I'm working on it ..
sk5/24 - to wriggle out of working
mevermind...I found it
And it was Butternut Ale
add a cons onto the sk 4/8
Atta boy torgone...keeps on task. An admirable goal!
any hint for the ne5/10?
sk + to l*** and let l***
ne + santa is making a l*** and checking it twice
Hi Bab
TY BR
I am working on trying all the cupcakes at the Cupcake Bakery near work
Another fine goal Herin!
i am working on trying every vodka ever made around the world,right now the bottle of the week is a polish potato vodka
It's good to have goals ..
I believe the alcohol buzz of torgone to be far more mischievious and than the sugar buzz....but buzzzez none the less :}
goals keep one focused
This place does a pretty decent cheap coffee. I have only had about 5 of the flavours in the 2 months at work
goals win hockey and soccer games
Mmmmmm Vodka (Odin is drooling again and it is only 7:21 a.m. ;}
I am trying to drink the European wine lake but it is defeating me as they are making it faster than I can drink it
Well one is to not drink coke working on that well
put a copper coin or a piece of emat in coke and leave it a few hours
that should put you off
and use the rest of the coke to clean battery terminals
Don't touch the stuff myself...mmmmmm Vodka
mmm Lemon vodka
Absolut
No it had to stop I was at drinking at least 3 litres of coffee/caffiend drinks aday
Atta girl...there are so many choices these days...
why is it always the 4 letter words that bug me most? fi4/7 anyone - I have the hot stuff and the one after that
Grape, manadarin, grapefruit, vanilla, pear you like it? They have your flavor!!! Cool Right?
sigh
Herin did you not see the study that 2-6 cups a day keeps diabetes away it seems. They are stumped as to why but it seems the case. Thus main food group for me!
2-6 cups of what?
Coffee Chica...any kind...not sure about decaf...I believe the caf's the clue.
Vodka too has its good points ... just ask the Russians:
oh, need to up my intake LOL - and if you like cinnaom they recommend that a half teaspoon a day keeps diabetes away
*cinnamon
What Coffee?
The average Russian consumes almost three times as much alcohol as he did 16 years ago.
sprinkle it on your coffee, add a shot of vodka - yum
so...I drink it because my Portugese grandfather started giving me coffee milk at age 3 and then to cuban and espresso and Mmmmmm addiction at such a young age!
Cinnamon is in fact good for your heart so adding a little or alot could get you a 2 for 1...diabetes and less heart disease...I can make it work out!
good job i like cinnamon
I am so confused
I could also rationalize a great many of my vices...pick one I got a reason :}
tr 6/18 plz
don't have that yet ivesy
Herin diabetes may be staved off by coffee. They dont know why but people who drank 2-6 cups a day did not get diabetes as often as those who limited their intake.
tr 6/18 -- prefix for three + all's well that **d* well
TY BR
We are rationalizing being extreme coffeeists :} Thanks BabbleRab
in7/32?
ty babble!
the meek shall in 7 the earth
But the thing is it is bad for your heart
TY BR
fireworks
A new study finds that drinking a lot of coffee, especially decaf, may help prevent diabetes.
That's the rub Herin. We also heard cinnamon is good for your heart so we figure we could add a little and make it better for our hearts...but alas I am only rationalizing my addiction. If I didn't have them...I would be a lot healthier, but....Mmmmmmm Vodka ;}
So, it is decaf
Congrats, Glantarell
Thanks BabRab for verifying. the decaf portion is not making me feel warm and fuzzy or should I say jacked and amped up!
The study looked at more than 28,000 post-menopausal women over an eleven-year period. They answered questions about their coffee consumption.
congrats Glan
Go Babrab!
What it doesn't work for us guys? Have I been bamboozled?
any clues wanted before I go and do dusting?
perhaps hoodwinked and hornswoggled too
Damn...again?
poor poor guys
Perhaps, coffee has a placebo effect for guys concerned about diabetes?
Maybe I could drink Cinnamon Coffee.
Ewww Decrap
hi everyone could i have some clues 4 the 8s please
an8 is pl of an7 which is a medical word
Hey cool
in8 is pl of in7 which is what you do when your parents die
cinnamon coffee is yummy herin
That's right Herin...if you add the dash of cinnamon be sure it is to high test caffeinated good stuff!
Black coffee .. no frills for me
sugar or are you sweet enough BR?
thanks 4 the in8 could i have an easier clue 4 the an8 my brain is having a meltdown today
Hard core...quite admirable!
There is some that I love
off to dust *eughhh*
an7 - the substance your body makes to produce antibodies
Glantarel Just ignore the bunner
dust bunnies
ty
my US friend said that dust isn't a fire hazard till it gets 1/4 inch deep but my house is on the market so I hav to keep it clean
It is over rated
because hideous husband doesn't do housework
i do as little as i can get away with LOL
Dust is mostly dead sk 4 that falls from bodies
i know.... and in our case bits off the dog too
My sister and her friends pay teenagers to do it. Cheap labor and they need the money and do a fairly good job of it I am told.
i don;t see the spider webs until they get dusty LOL so it has some uses
Vacuum the dog
;-)
ive got an american bull terrior and he still drops hair everywhere
I would like to banish the dog and the hideous husband and then I'd ponly need to clean once a month
I have a deaf cat I can vacuum
LMAO Herin!
visualising cat beig vaccuumed ;-)
She is deaf so she doesn't hear it. It is only on low thow
Perhaps you could try it out and report back as to how that works for you .... visualizing it also :}
my dogs such a poof hes even scared of insects and water still wouldnt be without him
my dog is a small cypriot poodle and he drops fluffballs in spring and autumn but firtunately not single hairs
I am shocked no one pointed out the dust fallacy:
Sometimes a specific percentage of dust is said to be skin, usually about 70 or 80 percent, but unless you’re a molting bird or reptile (or you work in Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory), very little of your environment is composed of dead body parts.
most of my dust is plaster dust
from the renovations - it seems to take weeks to finally all settle
what's the rest of dust BR?
fibres form clothing?
BabRab again hooks us up to the bare naked facts!
We have a saying in this house. If you don't like fur on you stay off the furniture
Glantarell, not to make light of your situation but is there a reason you share space with a hideous?
There are far more common sources of dust pollutants, including animal dander, sand, insect waste, flour (in the kitchen), and of course lots of good, old-fashioned dirt. Every time we open a window or a door, we stir up and move around tiny, airborne particles that eventually settle around the house. Humans do shed dead skin, but most of it is carried away by water when we shave or bathe, ending up not on our floors but in our sewers. Now don’t you feel better?
Yes, because although I got him to move out last October, he moved back in last month saying he owns half the house and has nowhere eslse to go
which is why the house is for sale
Little dander, little sheet and clothing lint and little pollen...teenagers I'm telling you...cheap labor...good results.
i have moved my comfy chair to my bedroom and spend most of my time there
it is quite cosy LOL - i have my own kettle, fresh coffee, wine...
I told a friend with a new composter she could empty her vacuum cleaner into it as it was mostly skin. She said that was gross and she wouldnt eat any vegetables that had had skin on them!!
I thought all vegetables had skin on them - ta da
Hang on so she doesn't eat tomatoes?
LOL
I always empty my vaccuum inot the compost
lol!
Save money feed him pet food Glantarell
i don't feed him at all herin - he buys and cooks his own food but doesn;t clean the kitchen afterwards
hello everyone
I put up with that melarky for 3 years never ever again.
HI Annie
Hey Annie
morning annie
never ever again for me either herin
Hello, Annie
Have you asked hideous to clean up after himself?
can I get a clue for en 5 ?
nver mind I found it
en + johnny cash: a boy named ***
thanks, BR
morning, all!
Hi uusue
HI Uu
Mornin' uu
free
sorry
hi cool
tough night last night, not much sleep :-(
glant ,reaDING back,he must of watched the movie war of the roses
and thanks for the fr** word, cool.girl :-)
Hey Sue
whatever he watched he is a lazy, inconsiderate slob
that is true
yw
RIGHT
heck,i would get my own dinner ware in your room and he can eat off of dirty plates if he does not do dishes
hi, odin!
What's up uu? Good grid...good company this fine a.m.
ha, BR, I see you have an actual flat earth in your icon, I like it!
actually i would take the most important things you like in the house,move out and sue him for your cut.nobody should live like that
nothing special, odin, I am just having a really tough semester, been getting killer headaches for weeks now and having trouble sleeping (maybe some cause and effect there but I'm not sure which is which)
ihave asked him to clean up but he just gets annoyed - think it must prick his conscience
hope your house sells soon, glan, that sounds awful
hi all
i wish i could move out but i don't have enough dosh!
Glant, there is a difference between asking and telling
hi, peri!
hi peri
telling makes him worse!
reallly?
Hi Peri
O have the solution to people not cleaning up for themselves
Stress induced headaches are extremely common with those in college or intense training. I have a good bud that is a college prof and he sees it first hand. Meditation, relaxation, breathing excercises and my personal recommendation ...Mmmmmm Vodka!
actually, glan, when my deadbeat ex (#2) tried to move back in I told him no way, just threw him out in the snow - was one of the hardest things I've ever done but if I hadn't he'd still be here
mmmm...vodka....
does it involve itching powder? because I have tried leaving it - it took him 2 weeks to notice the dishes weren't being wahsed LOL
Yeah man!
lol, odin, I don't like vodka much but have been doing a small amount of drinking, am trying to do some relaxation as well
Lemon vodka ...mmmm...
No put dirty dishes in his bed and use disposables for yourself and pack and store the good plates
yoga and meditation are good for sleep but I listen to a reaxation CD in bed and that does the tick for me
now that is a grad idea herin:))))
See hoe easily Babble chat comes full circle if you stay long enough! Good work cross and glan!
I packed all but 2 cups and 2 glasses for him to use and told him it was beause he didn;t clean up!
Told a friend to do that with his flat mate and dirty wet towls
hmmm, glan, I will have to try that (means getting headphones)
freudian slip ....see how (not hoe)
He knows I don;t want him here but has skin the thickness of rhinoceros hide
glan, pack those too, you don't owe him anything
Sue the hardest part is saying no but it is appreciated in the long term
If he ever leaves the house ...change the locks. Done.
yes that is one solution,one set for each,1 plate,knife,fork,spoon,cup etc,and you bring your to the room when done and cleaned and he can do what he wants with his
he still doesn't appreciate it, herin, but I do!!
I know I don't owe him anything - he has been sleeping around for 3 years and I have known for a year now
if i changed the locks he would break in - that I am certain of because he has told me so
Kick him out and let one of his tarts put up with his poo
then call the cops on him, glan, surely that's a crime?
i would have the divorce papers within a week and the house gone in a month even if u had to lowball the thing
Breaking and entering here would get him arrested and you could get a trespass warrant
I did last October - straight after I found out he'd brought a tart home and had sex in my bed... and tart is right, he has discovered the swinging scene - which is why it's especially sordid and hideous
i
I wish they had USA DV Laws here
(I know, easy for us to say, much harder when you are faced with the reality)
I can get an injunction to keep him out of the house but it would cost nearly £800 and there's no guarantee that the court would find in my favour - apparently it's whoever has most 'need' - and my income is higher than his
Do you have AVO's in the UK?
it is easy for us,but if glant can glean one or 2 good ideas from it all.then it is fine
Anything is possible...tell the cops he hit you.
even if he's made threats, glan?
i am in the process of divorcing him but all UK divorce laws changed on April 5th and everything has gone slow while they all work out how the new system works
I have been there done that this is why I kind of get an idea
(of course, my house was in my name only which made it easier)
he's never made threats apart form telling me he'd break in if i change the locks - and legally he has every right to be here as he owns half the house
wish my house was in my name only
I have worked in EMS for years and have responded to women who stuck it out and ended up beaten half to death. If the situation is bad get him out...whatever it takes.
I still say Ass\
glan, can you afford to leave?
Odin If your Dv laws were here I think I would have been less broken
lol, herin, me too (even though that looks like a typo)
he is not unpleasant towards me intentionally (apart form talking at me every time I show my face - like I am still interested in anythingto do wityh him? NOT)
or just leave if it gets bad,my wife was in an abusive relationship just before we got together and no house or stuff is worth that
I could afford to leave if I knew the house was sold and I will leave as soon as somebodyp uts in an offer
Well spoken cross
good for you glan
Head phones and ear plugs are good for that Glantar
if I leave before then he will sit tight, let the house get dirty, and prevent the sale - he really doens;t want to sell the house
let him buy you out if he can
HI Sue. Hey BRab how are you?
you can then sue for matrimonial assets glant
hmmm - can you get the house appraised now, tell him he owes you half, then just give it to him?
hep with the an8 pls
get the divorce done then court time
he can't afford to - he is 60 and although he was offered a martgage he realised he'd have to work till 75 and also share the house to get income
help even
an8 - the substance your body makes to produce antibodies
Well then Glan, that leaves sharing with us and using all of our support, using the headphones as mentioned and of course Glan, mmmmmmm vodka!
and keep his last name untill you get your half
It is the plural of the AN (do you have that)
the an before+ add ***eral Hospital
ty glant and sue
i will share with you all from time to tiome - even the Lemon vodka ...mmmm.... and cinnamon coffee.... thanks for the ideas and support
hmmm, then, glan, can he really afford to lowball the house?
no did not have the an7 but have it now
ok, well off to prep for school.
and we will have a party in the PB when the house sells and I can get on with my own life
anyway then I must go, time flies!
we sure will, glan!!!
he won't lowball the house
I am stuck with 35 left
not sure I'd be happy to lowball the huse!
clues herin?
and i must head out for an emission test tc all and stay safe and well glant...poink!
Nah thanks
glan, can you buy him out?
off for grits and fish...all the food and drink talk as made me hungry. Later.
help with lower e in right column pls
if the house doesn't sell soon I may investigate whether I can buy him out - I probably could but it would eat up all my income until I retire - and the place has bad memories for me now
en ---take to court
ty Annie
nbt and nbs, bbl
en5/12 - to follow
Glanta I noticed something.
well, off to dust *poof*
You say house instead of home.
well, I am gone till later also
*poof*

MOooooooooooooom

I was thinking isn't that what you do as a Secratary. I mean really
yes, but it is important to do what needs to be done and be a team player without muscling in on someone else's job
and that is what you did -- yo stepped into the breach
Well I think personally it is a bit pointless being a helper if you don't pay freeking attention
true dat
Totally different subject. What is the retriver tyope dogs that are brownish with brown spots they use them for duck hunting

HI Lynxx

Malinuts are not family pets but high drive working dogs
sure are
My friend calls the pups Maligators
tr6...prefix for three + printing measures
The Victorian Police wont use the dogs as they are too much work. Also they say the never sit stil. Not true. I use my friends pup as a pillow
back briefly, finding dropped socks
They are not very responsive and are very strong willed - don't think they would be very good as police dogs
Good morning
hi uusue
Hi Mr Bob

Really, I am very surprised. What country uses them
France Belguim England USA Army (uses cross breeds too)
They are using them as police dogs here in the US
good morning Jessmom
hi mom, herin, lynx & everyone
we are talking about Malamuts?
They are great dogs not family pets. My friends dog trusts me as I hve known her since she was a pup and I respect her. That is the issue you need to respect them and treat them as a pack dog.
Malimois
malinois
Malinois or that sorry
Ok I must must must drag my very tired butt to bed.
oooh - You said Malinuts originally which is why I thought you meant Malamuts
Opps my bad. Malinuts is my short hand for them They are little fire crackers
ok, socks found, breakfast ready, I'll be here another few minutes
and all my opinions were based on Malamuts I have known - crossed wires obviously
I was sitting here earlier with my clothes getting ready to shower and must have dropped the socks, found them under the computer table. Thanks all for looking :-)
Yay for socks!
Ok Night night

back to look for a couple more words -- 26 invisible ones left
back for a few more words:)
{{crossy}}
((ruby))
how many do you have left? I'm down to 22, just found a couple of obvious f's and a couple of weird f's
and still missing one 7 and one 8!
aaah, just got the weirdest f of all, a local wind off the mountains, fo5/18
anyone have a clue for the ee 5,10 please???
ee5 strange, odd, abnormal
thanks ruby
yw
do you have the 7 and 8, not the an's?
in7 & 8 ruby ... and hello!
hello to you!
looking for those.... how are you FM? is it cool and beautiful there?
If the wind wasn't blowing it would be warm but it is sunny again :) Let me know if you want a clue.
yes, please, a clue would be welcome
here, too, the wind keeps it much cooler than it would be otherwise, but the flowers have held on, even the tulips
I have tried 3 times to make a garden plan, but I have to figure out a symbol-system or it gets too complicated
If someone dies you might in7 money or a gift.
thank you for those; I was looking at the wrong in
only 17 left. Did you get the name of the wind?
I was proud of myself because it's a local word, I thought
yes I did :) and wtg, shout if you need anymore clues.
uh oh, thirsty hoofbeats upstairs
LOL
I love this grid! {{FM}}
good afternoon everyone:)
Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who must have designed the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline adjacent to a recreational area?"
LOL crossy, a good one
howdy jean:)
yes indeed very funny crosshair:):):)

morning! just here to finish up. on about 2 hours sleep.. broken up at that!LOL>
hi, all, between classes...
Hi Sue. Any news on your Dad's wife?
Hi, Molly, nothing new. If I don't hear anything by the end of the day I will text.
good morning folks - hi sue, just read your update - what a sad series of events, how's your dad holding up with this news?
i got news on my dad's wife... unfortunately, it turns out, she really is my mom. *ba dum bum*
LOL, hurshy - no more fantasy dreams of being a princess, I guess....
my husband calls me princess, that's good enough for me.
very nice - what about the tiara??
overrated
hi, JBV, he's doing ok, but obviously not happy. Thanks for asking (and sorry, I was off working :-)
ge6?
Hey, everyone. :)
ok, sue, I'm in and out here too - nice to bump into you
ge6 someone very very smart
hi everyone
i thought i had tried that already....ty
hi, bichon!
sue, did you hear about the Yale Physics undergrad who died in the lab after her hair was caught in a lathe
an7?
a medical substance starting with an 4/4
thanks!
I did, bichon, and it was scary - I did almost the same thing when I was an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke except it was a belt sander - fortunately my hair was long enough to clog and stop it before it did any damage
Isn't arule that you have to have your hair up. She had been involved with writing a report about lab safety at Woods Hole
sorry to interrupt, but sue! we have another commonality. I'm a seven sister grad too - Vassar
Probably was, bichon, but since when do 19-year-olds follow all the rules?? (Certainly have followed that one since then!!!)
I almost managed to slash my maternity top right across my chest after failing to remember to clamp a sheet of aluminum in a drill press!
and hi, mich! Nice to see another seven sisters grad - I graduated in 1972...
I am a bit later, 1987.
ah, a youngster :-)
there was a girl from my high school who went to Vassar a year before I went to Mount Holyoke - you may know of her, her name is Meryl Streep :-)
I'm glad all the industrial accidents weren't critical! I myself got a giant bruise on my hip from not using the table saw correctly in a furniture making studio (M.Arch and I was 32!)
Meryl was at Yale while I was there too, in the drama school while I was in graduate school. Small world.
down to 10...un6 is eluding me
and mich, I am glad too! I was very lucky.
Wow, she was a schoolmate? It must be funny seeing her on screen. Lisa Kudrow and Hope Davis were both at Vassar while I was there. It's interesting to see people you know as "normal" living a public life....
who is hope davis?
she was, and it was a relatively small school (800 students) so we all pretty much knew each other, at least a little.
nm....got it
(that was high school, not Yale - I only saw her from a distance there, eating at the Law School, which had the cheapest cafeteria on campus)
anyway, time for class, then a meeting, bbl!
she's an actress, she started fairly independent but has had a lot of roles lately on hbo. In Treatment and Mildred Pierce. Laura Morgan on Six Degrees, was the daughter in About Schmidt...

Hey there y'all.
May I please have a clue for an5-10 the 2nd? Thanks
hi there... I don't have that one yet.
Clue for fo5?
Thanks anyway cathy.
fo5: enemy + female fowl - the vowel.
Think of the French expression "Between us", but start with an A.
Thats, peach, for that clue.
yvw, Snitkina.
Oh, I misunderstood....did you get the fo5?
Yes, I got it-new word for me. How about tr 6? I'm down to 6.
That one is kind of hard for me to clue....I'm not very good at it but here goes: t + friend, leave off the f and d and pl.
should have said, and then pl.
got it, thanks
Good! I can't get the French expression for an5-10 the 2nd. Maybe "dumb" it down? Thansk
Be back in a moment.

Ugh, I think my monkeys were left at work
can someone give me a clue, or stats, for the V please.
lol
italian for wine, except change the last vowel
My brain must be at work too, since I didn't see that...Thanks, Cathy!
thanks cathy. I swear I tried that, but apparently not.
How about something for the top middle H for NBT please.
i leave the most obvious words out, thinking i've entered them. lol
I have a 4 and 5 combo that rhyme with the leafy plant
in 7 ???
NM, got one at least, for NBT!
oh good.. lol
and a 4 and 5 that end in the little lizard
in7 - what you in***** when someone dies
Gecko?

no, a 3-letter little lizard beginning with e; its plural is also an allowed word
thanks sue, that's a new one for me. I had to look it up! now I hope I will remember it.
My brother did a paper on them when he was in middle school (about 45 years ago!) and the name was so strange that it just stuck in my head!
hi all
howdy jmc
hi, jmc and crossy!

fi 4/10 and 5/22areas of land which were part of a feudal lords domain in old japan
and other countries i am sure
si5/10? my last word
sorry i still need that one as well
yes, somehow I associate those more with medieval Europe than with Japan, crossy (not that I am exactly an expert on the topic...)
I only have one si5/10, which doubles the vowel at the end of the si4/4
crossy read tons of james clavel,thats where i got it from
ty sue
fi 5/22 please?
Yes, that was the one. Thanks all!
pl the fi 4/10
the 2nd fi 5/22 i mean
One who plays the musical instrument of fi4/10
clyed at 4:33 cosdem
thanks snit
hi all. how goes?
hi, jes!
howdy jes
wow. a dozen g's? that's gonna take me some doing
the g's were easy.. i flew thru them
last 30 or so have teeth jes
like the fo 5/18 is just the most idiotuc un-word i have seen of late
good thing the 3rd letter is a given and morewords will fill the rest in
ah, the fo5/18 is an ill wind, crossy...
that really gives me something to look forward to, crossy, thanks :P
often spelled with an umlaut, as it comes from German.
ugh. i updated to internet explorer 9. which i'm sure is as fine or not fine an IE as the others. (I also use firefox). but now, every time i go to enter a word, my cursor is on the "add" box. and not in the box. it's driving me crazy. i can't type and enter.
i have never seen it on a page of a book..ever
or i could just use it as a clue and find it, thanks :)
lol jes
ah well, we read different books, crossy :-)
igh brid,just load google chrome and rest your mind
it helps that i think it's been in the grid lately though
I upgraded to Firefox 4 on my home computer (where chrome has been acting up recently) and so far am happy with it.
set chrome as default and keep ff4 as secondary
or visa-vera
eh, between firefox and IE it's normally plenty browsers
visa-versa*
never cared for EI
ie*
but this is a random weird update thing.
though it has the distinction of the browser that load more browsers than any other browser lol
me either, crossy, although I am forced to use it for some applications at work (which don't work any other way)
i can't use my mouse every time i need to enter a word.
so I have finally finished all my lectures for this semester (which is good as there are only three weeks left). Yay! Now on to the last two homework assignments.
si4/8? ive tried every combo possible
wish i could help you brid,but after 6 years of anything but IE,i have forgotten my was around it
nvm found it
way
fireworks
yay cos!
yay, cos!
yaa for cos!!
I need a word, one word which is driving me mad. I need to go to bed and I can't leave just 1 word short AGAIN! Tr6/18 please anyone please. I am so tired I keep nutting the keyboard...
tr 6/18-- 3 + meditation leads to Z** + plural letter.
hard one to clue...
lol brid has it nailed down:0
Ty Brid. I am sure I hit that one several times but must have dreamt it. Night everyone
yw, cya
night, pat!
HEY BABBLE BUDDIES! Just booted up, and got a warning from my virus program, that 2 netBot viruses that came from Babblexpert.exe were detected. I do not have Lickety's expert program, I use the r46 link recently put in the chog, but apparently that is where it is coming from. Be aware and watch for this!
thanks for the tr
And if someone knows how to contact Lickety without going through the link, he should know!
If you have decent antivirus, you should have gotten a warning that Babble Expert may be infected with a virus. I've been wondering why no one brought this up before.
good thing i don't use babble expert
bob the bulider is here
i use expert and have not had an issue and i use avg anitvirus,ad-aware and spybot and c cleaner
Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
howdy min and welcome to the grid
Well, I hope he can clean it up. I use the link for those last few stubborn words every day.
hi, min!
min, congrats on the new nephew!
Also use the r46 link which is the only link there is to Lickety's list I think. Just got my computer fixed due to viruses, don't need anymore. How long has it been infected? Maybe that is why my computer had viruses
Thanks uusue2!
hmmm i thought i lickety's email
AVG is on this computer, but it missed all kinds of viruses a couple of weeks ago, which almost lost me a whole bunch of HUGE files. Now have other programs, which seem to be working.
Probably, Min.
I actually think I got viruses from HotSpot and Zynga.
each to thier own,but my multiple security programs seem to keep everything in line
zynga? and the wife lives in FB lol
crosshair, do you remember when I asked you about Internet Explorer opening blank windows on its own?
good morning all :)
Well that was because I had spyware&viruses on the computer.So what's the difference between malware and spyware crosshair? Or are they the same thing?
Hello mrpresident!How are you doing?Welcome to grid
MrP! Just the person we need!
hi min, broll, crossy et al :)
how can I help??
hi mr p i was just looking for lickety's email
email address?
I booted up a short while ago and my antivirus program had 2 viruses listed coming from lickety's link.
there is apparently a virus connected with babble expert
my work here is done
Can you let Lickety know that his list carries a virus?
licketysplitaus at gmail dot com
i sure will~!! right now
ty mrp
ty mrp!
Thank your mrpresident!
when did this start happening??
What antivirus tells where viruses are coming from.I have never heard of that,but that's an excellent idea
I do not know. Broll just entered chat log and told us.
he changed the link from google pages a week ago after google pages shut down, but he hasn't changed a single thing in the program
I think I have been using the r46 link for awhile now.
door
I don't know. I had major problems that took hours to clear up 2 weeks ago. Installed Stopzilla, which listed 2 Trojans/netBots as coming from BabbleExpert.exe, that I saw today.
ding dong
What's Stopzilla?Is it an antivirus program like Norton
ok, I will ask Mark about it... email him broll... i gave you his email just a little while ago
olay
sorry back,malware is a virus that is intended to harm,damage your computer,spyware is to infiltrate and use information on your computer for third parties for ad ware and popups
I think so Min. My husband did all that. I wouldn't know where to begin!
hate hate hate spyware
ok, will do mrp. thanks. bye all.
Just read a review on stopzilla; was a very good one.
Do you know if CNET site a safe site to download from
BROLL Stopzilla may actually think babble expert is a problem because it contains web browsers that goes to the internet and multiple sites (the clues site & babble). Just add it as a trusted application in Stopzilla. Luv, Lickety
we used to have that issue when i was admin of gamespy
so no probs
lol,we used to get people trying to play ont the servers that were behind 3 firewalls and they wondered why they were having issues....
isn''t that clever crossy! (not)
((mrp))
((crossy)) *crush*
Hmmm. ok, thanks for the info. But isn't a Trojan a really bad thing?
yup.they had zone alarm.the windows firewall and a firewall built into the router all going
Must run. Be back soon.
Hi all! Clue for fo 5 please?
a trojan is, yes, but nothing has changed in the babble expert exe, nothing. There are plenty of links to other sites in babble expert... lickety is going to look into it, but at the moment, if you don't trust it, don't use it.
hi, mrp! Hope you and your family are doing well! (And I have had no problems with Expert, FWIW)
car., fo5 = enemy + *eadline *ews
Ty dahling!
:-)
ok, last two homework sheets are done. Now back to grading. Sigh.
Well, it is all Greek to me! (Trojan - get it?) But that's what Stopzilla said it was. Two of them.
my expert is running like a top;0
some anti viruses are set too sensitive broll,for example spy-bit will report ad-aware as a virus and visa versa,just because of the nature of the software
spy-bot*
ah yes, I remember that problem, crossy
a common one sure they do not play well together
sue*
This is just a question, not meant to start an argument...but it's not about how well Expert or any other program is running, right? It's about what downloading it brought with it into your computer. Again, just a question.
it is possible molly but since the original download came direct from lickety,doubtful
i would trust lickety with my computer anyday:)
Right, Molly. Although viruses and trojans can certainly slow down your computer, and I think there are some that only run when the infected program is running, so would show up as degraded performance.
and i always scan b4 i open any downloaded file
going home shortly, debating whether to go out tonight to student events...
yes, crossy, my virus program does that automatically
scanning individual dowmloaded files is the best first defense
I do get a warning when I open expert that it's not from a "trusted source" but I figure that's just because Microsoft doesn't know Lickety
correct sue
So no one else got a message before downloading the upgraded Expert that it may have corrupted files attached to it?
not i
not I, Molly
running it as we speak and just did a full scan
but of course i allow expert as a trusted program
en 5/12 please

ok, heading home! and yay, doxy!
have a safe trip home
tc sue
later
sorry, was away with the fairies
wb mrp:)
I can't do it without lickety either! (or one of the other gracious clue-posters) That's why I'm so bummed out if there's a virus.
broll, bottom line is, if you trust lickety's exe, you can add it as a trusted source.
yay doxy!
hi mrp :)
i think you will be fine broll
hi jes :)
just because something is labed as a problem,doews not always mean that it is
need help with the an 7 and 8
like crossy said, i would trust my computer with lickety anyday
and if you are really concered set a system restore point
great things they are
an 7 and an 8 = blood products..or blood ingedients
ingredients
actually, crossy, the an7 (at least the one i have) is the protein that sets off an allergic reaction.
i stand corrected
got it thank you
I will use it when I have to, and trust the antivirus program to find and remove the stuff if it is there. It has asked before if I want to allow pop-ups and stuff, but this was an actual warning when I booted up that it had found viruses ( and a whole bunch of cookies. Mmmmmm. cookies.)
use c cleaner it is a nice free program to remove temp files and cookies
www.priform.com
i give my girl a d+ c at least once every 2 weeks with it;)
In computer terminology, a cookie is a "small text file which contains a unique ID tag, placed on your computer by a website". Essentially, it enables a website that you have already visited to recognise you when you return.
but too many cookies = a upset computer tummy so keep thyem neat and keep them current
Stopzilla does it. I don't want to put any more stuff on this computer. I get a message that it's running out of virtual memory every once in a while. Just like me!
you done a disk clean and defrag recently broll?
that is why you need to clean out your cookies!
undeed mrp
indeed*
Huh?
defrag...
You are talking to a technophobe here.
uh oh...
clean out your cookies broll
home but dinner is on its way -
defrag your puter
Done.
And I ate some chocolate chips for good measure.
temp files and cookies once every 2 weeks,disk clean and defrag once a month,ad-aware and virus check once a week
remove temp files, they take up too much space
Speaking of temporary files, they keep being created occasionally lately when I am working in Excel. I just delete them. But I haven't a clue where they come from in the first place!
and do not forget about file compression
ah, file compression
and move any big storage or game files to d drive if your drive is partitioned
Most types of computer files are fairly redundant -- they have the same information listed over and over again. File-compression programs simply get rid of the redundancy. Instead of listing a piece of information over and over again, a file-compression program lists that information once and then refers back to it whenever it appears in the original program.
I like to zip stuff too
i once made a custom computer for a person and i set up a refurbished 10 gig hard drive and a secondary terra new drive on it.used the ten gig (c drive) just for the os and the terra drive for everything else..was fast as all heck!!
Oh yeah, riiiiiight. I am writing all this down. (not!) The antivirus programs run automatically, I think every day. This is my blank look face about all that other stuff.
broll, do you know someone computer savvy that you could invite over for a little drinkiepoo and ask them to do these little things we have mentioned??
lol..poor broll...
Fireworks!
on ya car!
Yay Car!!!!
i can do a full computer tune in 2 hours wish i was closer
yaa for car
Congratulations car.eeyore on fireworks! Good for U!

Go Min Go!
Ty, ty, ty!
OK...off to comb tertiare's hair!
Broll, it's okay. Most people don't understand the computerspeak that is going on here. It's like being in a room full of people speaking a foreign language. And just for the record, be very careful about "recommended sites" from anyone. Unless you know them, and trust them, you have no idea why they are "recommending" them in the first place.
F's Finished! 1 left
Goodbye car.eeyore!I'll see you tomorrow in the chog
Waiting to congratulate you Min.....
Car, are you babysitting, or have you and Trif switched kids?
Molly! I love your basket! Very happy!
I am done I have fireworks! si 5/14 was my last word.
Was going to save my last word, but since you are so kind enough to wait for me, I entered it immediately.
just a note: i would never reccomend anything in here that would be harmful to a babbler
I will be here off and on for rest of the night for clues
Tertiare is sleeping over!
Yeah Min!
With 32 left I don't know what to ask for!
Hello Gadget!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
ok, I actually did write it down. My son is actually a computer programmer, but trying to do stuff over the phone doesn't work very well.
np broll just trying to help you a bit
But I will ask him about all this stuff. Especially putting the big files on D drive.
My comment was not directed at anyone here. It was an in general comment. I do part time work for a guy who cleans people's computers up for a living. The number one reason they give for downloading infected programs is "So and so recommended it."
yup,windows runs much better when it is not all wedged in with everything else
and ask your son about c cleaner he will reccomend it i am sure
The number two reason he finds that computers get infected? People actually click on links in emails that come from unknown sources. Yes, they really do.
plus it is good for registry cleaning
thats why you always type an addy direct into your browser
links can and often are diverted
Well, tv program is on. Thanks for all the input, peoples. I never open stuff from e-mails, Molly. In fact, I never open e-mails that I don't know who they are!
there is one currently going around facebook,it offers you 2000 facebook tokens if you aprove a few sites..be carefull!
bye. Thanks again. *poof*
bye broll
there is a magazine called "maximum pc magazine(there is also a eiro and aussie version that is a great learning tool for new computer users i highly reccomend it

I just stood on the scales, I have lost 5kg... that is 11 pounds in the last week!!!
wtg mrp
mm..mrp getting all slinky and foxy,,,hehe
yeah, a diet of stress and sleep deprivation works very well
slinky and foxy! :))
good to get something good out of bad things
*gives mrp a pillow of lavendar*
I did something last night that I would have never done before this distress
?
I sent an email to a friend telling her she was no longer my friend... I pointed out her true colours and lack of all things involved in friendships... and there is nothing she can reply to. I closed the book on her
oh dear
Although it does not take a ge 6/27 to finish the grid here is a story of clues to si4/7 through for anybody who does not think the grid is so fi4/7 and easy.I did not in7/32 my parents intelligence so I for one didn't think it was easy. When I called upon monkeys, they were playing up in the pine tr4/4s. They st4/4red up trouble right away.Monkeys shook their fi4/7s at me and refused to help. I said to them, "no sk 4/8 off my back! You're fi4/7ed! You guys are un5/18 to do this job anyway!" and they were fr 4/7 to go. They were delighted and ran off to go play in a si 4/8. I think I'll ask for new monkeys for my next birthday gi4/6. My Hubby wants computer. If I do not give hubby laptop he will ra 4/4 and rave and a st 6/27 will en 5/12. He ra5/10 every time I babble.Babble and Farmville have caused some ri 5/16 between us. Anyway, I hope you got the gi 4/6 of most of my clues.I'm ti4/4d so won't be back until tomorrow sometime.Goodnight babblers
she is the neighbourhood scary biatch and people are nice to her cause they are scared of what crap she will say about them
when under stress monetary or health wise we often target on whats really important and toss anything that is not woth the problem of dealing wiht...we conserve our energies
we toss all the shait and do not worry bout the small stuff
well, she got tossed to the curb and her 'so called' friends with her.
as the saying goes..do not suffer fools
ah is fr6/24 in that tale? hi all
oops 5/14
Well minver, that was veyr helpful for me! down to 27 left.

we grow we evolve,life can be hard but a crisis overcomed tempers us like a blade in a forge fire.we endure and become more than what we were

hihi
how's the family, mrp we are doing well here -- Kristi is loving 2nd grade and Seb is looking forward to kindergarten in September
{{**lbd**}} -- heydee!
32 left... A's E's and F's....
OMG!! the kids have grown up so quick!!
we are doing well woulf... healing and tossing rubbish to the curb
my two are in highschool!! just mindblowing how fast life goes by
nah -- they are going at standard speed -- just seems fast cos I don't get on to chat as much as I used to
I really need to come back more than once every few months, but just don't seem to have the energy
ah, that is the getting old part of life... drain of energy
this past year I lost a lot of time to playing World of Warcraft for the first half of the year, but then I started working with my boss to develop a new position at work
now I am busy working on creating standards and policies for a job position that didn't exist before April 1st
that sounds like a good project!! good luck with it all
Thanks -- it is exciting, exhilarating, and terrifying all at once
all the things that make life worth living!
unfortunately, it also means even more hours away from the family as I get things under control -- I am coordinating the acquisition, sales, and rental of equipment for the entire northeast US for my company.
3rd gi 4/6 please
huge woulf!
gi4... to snarl
you would grin if happy, just change the middle letters around
have that one aLREADY
our land is gi** by see
means surrounded
crossy -- same as the second one except with the next consecutive consanant

fireworks and a hot epsom bath awaiting me. Hope I can get out of bed.
err bath. and good night. Congratulations to Mr P!
yay red!
yay mrp!
I better get my fat arse out of bed and pretend I care about housework.
see you all later and great to see you after all this time woulf! xox bye

Congratulations mrpresident on fireworks! Way to go

mine however has its own zip code
so will ru, apparently :)
sounds almost like a theme -- Fat Arse day
ru is being nice... I have problems walking between tables at restaurants.. keep knocking things off people's tables!!
hi grey woulf... a blast from the distant past
though from my experience, most people are overly critical of themselves
in7 clue, please?
in***** the wind
I didn't see that at Angele..
Just had lunch there again last Friday doren
i need a t6 please (that's probably because i didn't walk between tables after we met.
mmmm delicious, i'm sure
tr6 is 3 + gre**n bean* are yucky
fireworks, thanks, dorens!
thanks jes, but no they're not, not if fresh and cooked well!
and fireworks here too... one good turn definitely helped the other
you can have mine, dorens.
GRATZ -- Yayyyy for jes and Dorens
yay dorens!
i had a very long day... twelve hours, actually, and now very happily signing off (scarfing down jes's beans first) and tumbling into bed. happy babbles
Congrats everyone!
sleep sweet, dorens :)
niters, Dorens
hi all
hey GreyWoulf, how are you and your family?
hi peri
hi peri! {*hug*} We're all doing well -- and how are you?
fine thanks, good to see you, GW. HOw are you children now?
meant how old are your children now. I remember when Sebastian was born :)
Kristianna is loving 2nd grade and wishing that it wouldn't end for the summer
Seb is excited about starting kindergarten in September
2nd grade, Wow!
she's 7 1/2, he's 5 as of January
doyou have recent pics of them, GW?
wow, how time flies
nothing currently in the computer -- I haven't downloaded them from the camera in quite awhile
thats ok, I know that you are busy
But I will make sure to do so this week so I can at least use one as a icon to share
stopped by to say hi and glad that I did. will be going now. byyeee. ok GW will look forward to seeing it or them
bye, peri -- good to see you too
:)
back in a few -- gotta get the overtired kids to bed
gotta love when they fight the reality of bedtime :-D
WOULF!!! *laughs hysterically then faints*
and of course he's already outta here. how's this grid -- is it worth my trying if I have a few moments of free time later?
it was pretty easy, stid
i didn't list until i had only about 25 left, and i usually list half way
and now I am back, stid -- just had to get the kids tucked in
hi stiddy!
evening all
hi dan
so lbd -- how have you been?
hi dawg, dan
oops. sorry, was printing lesson plans! (((hugs WOULF)))
I have some writing I must do, too, but will sit and visit a spell
sos, woulfie. read that you're creating jobs! that's great!
LBD, I had to SCRAPE the ice off my car windows this morning... *sigh* where is my SPRING?? *stomps foots angrily*
Hi stidmama. Just finishing the grid. Did you already do it?
hi jes
{{**stid**}}
hello Mother, just looking at it now.
had two snow storms yesterday and today, stiddy. yeah, will you please stop sending this yucky weather this way?
hi stidgmere!
Can you call in a little bit, Mother? I have a question to ask.
I dawger.
not coming from MOI, non, non, non!
well, sorta, lbd -- my boss realized a while back that there was a market for used equipment that was being overlooked by our corporate HQ
Just fried the works! A strange an word to finish up.
YAY MOTHER!!!!
whoooo hoooooo STIDGMERE!!
shows your initiative, Woulfie!
Dawger, not bragging but amazed to finish three grids in a row!! I think it is an all-time record for me.
Yes, I will call at 7 o'clock mama.
to that end, we have been working together to produce the data needed to justify creating a new position which has the sole responsibility for acquiring, selling, and renting said used equipment throughout our companys NE area
AWESOME! Stidgmere. retirement is suiting you well!
That area covers 5 service centers from PA to Me
hm... are you in line for this position, Woulf?
Yayyyy for stidgmere!!
thank you Mother, will try to find a phone before then!
Are you going to be heading that new endeavor Greywoof?
GMTA, Mother!
I think I am so lucky to have retirement, dawger. So many people work very hard and never get to retire.
stidgmere -- I AM the new endeavor -- it is awe inspiring that currently I am developing and setting policy that could literally transform how my company does business
What is GMTA?
*proud friend-mama look*
Great Minds Think Alike *readjusts Mother's tiara*
Ah, well, that is a wonderfully enterprising coup for you.
that is really great news, Woulfie! job security?
the official title for the position is "Reconditioned Sales & Rental Specialist" and it went active Apr 1st
are you still with the bookstore, Woulf?
for the moment, lbd -- it is as stable as anything can be in todays roller coaster economy
okay, I am needing ONE tile for NBT and MUST get back to pretending to care about the hoops for this grad school thingy. the E in the fourth row down, far right please?
Is it the en word? en and a boy named ***.
en5.12 en + girls name
no -- I haven't been with a book store in years -- the company I work for is called Enersys -- one of the largest manufacturers of forklift batteries and chargers globally
that was it! thanks Mother! going to find that phone... (((hugs WOULF))) I miss seeing you. **tosses choclits to all lovely babblers** *poof*
wonderful! sounds like a fairly solid (as jobs go) job!
bye, stidmama -- see you again soonish
Forklifts sound like a far distance from a bookstore. Who would think about the batteries and chargers needed for that equipment? Not me.
bye, Stiddy
ahh, those who use them, Stidgmere! LOL
All for me now. Need to phone mama and answer a question (I hope I know the answer.)
although, I wish I had a forklift at work! beats the hand truck i get to use.
it definitely is not boring at this time. Thats for sure! Unfortunately, it is also a time suck and energy drainer -- 45-50 hour weeks have become the norm
tell her the answer is C
long hours, but you're used to that from just being a daddy!
and it's pillow time for me. early rising tomorrow. see ya'll. Woulfie come back more oftener!
too true -- but now the kids don't get to see me as much -- part of why they were going to bed at 9:30 instead of already asleep.... and they are still talking to each other even now!
have a good nite, lbd -- I promise I will work to do better -- these several month breaks are killing me -- I barely know anyone anymore :(
yup, lots of newbies, but they are good folks to get to know! now poof!
good evening! I just got to see Chris Cooley of the Washington Redskins tend bar!

hi grem
oh, I missed mich. oh well. *waves at everyone else*
hi stiddie
how are you jmc? I am going to start grumbling about "hoops" again... *fair warning duly given, proceeds to explain* I just realized I didn't completely understand or implement some of the requirements for an essential component of this quarter *sigh*
But, for today I am in a holding pattern that demonstrates (I hope) enough intent to comply that it will be okay. I think...
you have to shoot baskets?
I would do BETTER at that! LOL no, it has to do with the written component for the "positive impact" piece for my student teaching.
hello
so you have to write about how your student teaching has a positive impact?
hi grem
yep. but for a limited project/time. It will work out okay. I just have to make sure I am covering all the bases. And at this point, I am so tired and so overwhelmed.
enough about me. How is D.C.? Please tell me that you are getting real spring already? I scraped ice off the windows this morning!
it is spring as usual meaning warm friday cold and rainy saturday cold and dry sunday and warm again today
there. halfway. Will visit a couple minutes, then turn in.
