hi and nbt
se7, 8
OK -- this is why. The desktop had IE 9 installed, and the laptop had IE 8, which worked just fine. The techie (from Electronic Ark, flosey) figured it out and put IE 8 on the desktop. Bingo. It seems IE 9 is buggy.
i refuse to use IE
late flip; hi all
ah super, jilli
I don't use IE but Babble Expert does whether we like it or not, cos. Just don't get IE 9.

morning all or good nite to some - i am sorry to burden you but i have had some terrible news - the police found my niece dead in her flat - she was only 20 years old and i am quite devastated even though we havent been in touch recently
oh Kazz, how terrible
yes ruru, he went to doc, she gave him a script for antibiotics and he ignored it... so I took it to the chemist, asked them to fill it out, brought it home and threatened him with death! He is now on antibiotics and feeling much much better! Hasn't had to have any flu meds since this morning :))
oh wow kazz 20?
I am so sorry to hear that - my good thoughts are with you
oh no kazz!!! that is just awful!! I am so so sorry for you and your family! Prayers to you all
was it drugs?
oh, kazz, so sorry to hear your news! Are you ok?
kazz, how is your brother/sister handling it?? must be just devastating!!
far out! such sadness in the world... everywhere! so sorry kazz
we dont know yet - she hadnt been seen for 2 weeks so we dont even know how long she had been dead. my poor sister is in shock. My other niece phoned me yesterday evening. She suffered from ADhs when she was young and had a mild form of epilepsy as well as something that made her tell terrible lies about people but she had a social carer - no a social worker but someone who checked on her every now and then and she had been on holiday and when she got back she couldnt reach here so called the olice but that's all I know for now
so sad, Kazz, thoughts and prayers with you and family
how devastating! so sorry they didn't have another social carer in place... are you ok??
thanks all - i am hoping that Mum and Dad will be okay - my sister is telling them today - she didnt want to tell them last night
We love you kazz, and will be including you in our prayers
prayers to you and your family... so sorry for your loss. xox
good morning and a big big hug for you kaz! That is so sad and so young!
thanks Ruby - going to work soon and will have to grovel to get time off for the funeral whenever that will be - it might be a while as cause of death will have to be established
Kazz my heart goes out to you and yours
yikes nbt in under two minutes!!!!!!!!
see you later

It seems to flow quite nicely.
Kazz, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers out for you and your family.

Good

17 Q words!
quine
IT isn't bad Scrabbler. How you my dear I miss seeing you about?
And that is NOT one.
I haven't been here as much as I like--life has been busy.
How is the little one?
Still on a ventilator---slight improvement yesterday. It is hard to be patient. We want her better now!
Was she the little one that was sick awhile ago?
Yes, similar episode in Dec--she was able to get off the ventilator in 7 days. So far 15 days with this respiratory infection.
O poo love
OPPS. That was O poor love. I am sorry I am still warming up to my home laptop
I found an 8 by myself. Wow.

no idea sorry
Whoo hoo! I just guessed it!
Tell
I don't know if other people will want to have fun guessing it, so for now I will say it's an s, and not a compound word.
sorry moshe, was exercising,it is sunny here but cold (right around the freezing mark)
If I say any more it might spoil it for someone.
*High fives to Kap for getting the 10*
will look for it later, kap, and good morning to you, herin, molly, and all!
I do have nbt...
good morning.
its ok uusue, England has had a lovely hot spell for weeks now...no doubt it will come an end pretty soon and that will be our summer over lol
Hi Sue. And I need the freeking start sorry
YAH to finiding it
Chilly and rainy here. Very unseasonable for May.
I have a kitty attach again
mine just threw up in the hall, breakfast must be late :-(
yewwwwws
mine is on my chest
OK I have to go I can't see
cat is on me
mine likes to sit in back of me on the chair
bye, herin!
not long had to have my Layla put to sleep she had cancer, i cried my eyes out at the vet and in typical British fashion apologised to the vet for doing so
Sorry you lost your pet Mosh.
so sad, moshe!
i miss her like crazy
i live on my own and she was my baby
thanks guys
{{{{{{{{{{{moshemoo}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Mosh, maybe, in time, you will be ready to get another cat.
just read a little of the chog {{moshe}}
i dont normally chat on this but i read every day and feel like i know you all. i dont know Molly perhaps
morning, ruby!
Hello ruby how is your husband doing
hi moshemoo, hi Babblers.. mosh, I think some kitty out there would be lucky to have you adopt him/her
hello everybody else. I am so annoyed! My cousin, whome I haven't seen in about 30 years, was supposed to arrive by train in Annecy an hour ago. I was early, found the proper quai (the station is under construction), went back and forth 4 times to my illegally parked car, and NOTHING! I don't know if she missed her connection in Chambery, but I am fit to be ti** plus ti****!
I have took to pet minding my colleagues pets whilst they are on vaction so that helps. Cheers Aloy
dear moshe, I hope there is a kitty with your name on him, waiting to be adopted!
I am not used to either driving or walking that much and I am wiped out!
Good Morning Everyone (((Ruby))
we went to so much trouble to have everything absolutely perfect for her arrival -- even ordered great weather!
{{dancer}}
ah, ruby.. you two needed cell phones! sorry you went through such a harrowing experience
Hi I have to resort to iPhone the cat is on my lap. Thank fully I have wireless
hope she shows up soon, ruby, and that all is ok!! meanwhile you can enjoy the great weather...
she has one and has my phone number
welcome back, herin :-)
if sdhe calls from the station, having taken a later train, I'll tell her to take a taxi
{{herin}}
ugh.. she definitely should have called you!
deep breath ruby....all will be fine
I dont know if i could have another cat Ruby. i always said i would get a Westie when i retire and name him Toby. Sounds like she boarded a later train Ruby.
hi herin, River, uusue..
Cat owns me tonight. Hugs back. Little hard on a tiny screen.
I guess so, and, hopefully, she'll call me.
oh dear - walked in on a traveler's nightmare story - so sorry for your inconvenience ruby - hope all is well with your cousin -
Im sure she will
morning, jbv!
hi sue and hi everybody
she's with her daughter (whom I've never met), so at least, if she's had a connection problem, she isn't alone
morning jbv
hi JBV
werp wer
ruby, what about your neighbor who went to Morocco? all is well?
morning, inge :-)
Hi Jbv
he is due back tomorrow but, thankfully, was not in the blast area. I have no details.
Help with the ten pleases
I heard French tourists were killed in that incident
I spy inge too (-:
se 10.77
se 10 - snaky
yes, but only a couple and he called his mom(my friend) after the blast
thanks for that 10...got it...whoohooo
ha, thx, jbv! (got the 9s all by myself!)
crawl on your belly like a reptile for se 10 type of motion
Huh
great clue, jbv! not it seems so evident
or go to the park in London
now*
brb, coffee refill time - some strong espresso roast this morning, will bring some to pass around
thx, aloy! and i am just over half way, must hit the shower :-)
Nope no Bellas top or bottom sbplee
sounds good to me aloy
could use some right about now
here's how my day is shaping up - I have a load of clothes in the dryer that has gone through 3 dry cycles and is still wet - so I guess I'm going to be shopping for a new dryer....
Mosh your kitty looks like one of mine.
she used to sit there when i was on the computer Herin
ToP or bottom s please for the ten
start at the bottom and wind your way up and down
se10 is also a style of jewelry
Hi everyone
bottom s herin
hi mom
hi Mom!
good morning ((Mom))
Aww mosh. I may have missed the story as I can't scan back
((JBV)) my dryer does that sometimes and I take it off one setting and put it on another and it worked.
Good morning ((River, Herin, Ruby)) so good to see all of you
Hi
HI Mosh
thanks, Mom , but this has been going on for a while, I've just tried to ignore it - ... with light loads it's manageable, but today my son put some jeans and sweatshirts in and it's no good
sorry to hear that, JBV
its ok herin, she had cancer and she had to be put to sleep, she was my little spider catcher lol hello mom
I just hate shopping for appliances and such - so unpleasant
with 63 words left I still dont have NBT or NBS - ugh!
did she crunch the spiders with their legs hanging out of her mouth?
and so costly JBV
well, I'm not going for the super industrial strength big red monster dryers that are out there, just hoping to get one like the one I have - normal size
I still can't get that ten never mond
ah. finally NBT
JBV - first check your vent to outside. I paid $68 to have someone go outside and remove a huge waffle shaped lint beast!
I'm screwing up my strength - I managed to oversee the furnace replacement project, so this is a piece of cake
oh, good idea, jmb!
she used to kill them with her paws Ruby and eat them if i didnt stop her
i had the same problem
herin - start with a snake and finish with a fork part
Hi jmb
Check you lint filter. It is a fire trap
another good idea! - I always clean the lint filter after each load but who knows what remains down there where you can't see
hi all!
JBV, how old is the dryer? I agree with the previous comment. It could just be a lint beast stuck in the ventilation.
eating spiders, jmb?
maybe 15 years or so.... but my washer is 24 years old and so far no problem (I shouldn't have said that so loud)
Hi Molly
hello molly
lucky to get 5-7 years out of the newer models...sad to say
nitty
the repairman i had said you would not believe how many dryer repair calls are the result of the big beastie!
sorry
thanks Ruby
I was trying to get a spider out of my teeth!
Thank you. Have you seen the fly ash lint remover thing?
that's very depressing, river - about the 5-7 years I mean
We have had our Maytag washer and dryer for 28 years now
you mean a special curved brush? I don't have one
no spiders eaten here except for the number snapple says you eat during your lifetime while sleeping
thats what the repair man told me last time we had him in to fix our dryer - it was less than 5 years old too
Flylady has lint remover kits thinking of something like that
Thankfully my sweetie has been able to fix anything that has acted up on them
ooohhh love the Flylady
when we moved here, 13 yrs ago, we bought Miele washer and dryer, thinking they were the best. Have already replaced the dryer after having it repaired twice. And the washer is on its last legs, has to be babies along
our first set - Kenmore - lasted almost 20 years...we have had more probllems with the new front loader than we had over those 20 years
off to work. bbl
I have no idea about the product as I don't have a dryer
bye bye jmb, have a good day
I never heard of an American washer or dryer breaking down
bye jmb - have a good day
a clothes line is the one thing I miss about having moved.
Kenmore, Amana, all quietly wonderful and built to last!
Yes mon FL is the best
we now have a Samsung....so much better than the kenmore that didnt last but 5 years
a clothes line would not help me today, Mom - it's pouring here
wheee! crossy just got the se 10= the type of fan belt on almost all vehicles now...good morning everyone
my 90 year old neighbor hangs up her wash! I don't have the strength
oh JBV, what a mess. Do you have a line in the basement? I had sweetie put two up for me when we moved
I've thought about it but I would have to move my washer (to where? I don't know) as I can't carry a load of wet laundry up from the basement
yay for crossy and good morning
Hi crossy
good morning (((Crossy)))) congrats on the 10
back with coffee and .. agree that modern appliances are not made to last like the old ones, sigh.. they rust quickly and parts like gaskets rot - very disappointing as repair is expensive. hi crossy
no, it's OK- the worst thing would be to load it up and take it to the laundromat nearby
hi Aloy
{{crossy}}
I use a clothes horse and the central air
hi Mom!
((ruby))
please pour me a cup, aloy, milk, no sugar
I thought you, tall, lovely you, were the clothes horse! hahah
hi crossy how are you
>>> there you go, ruby
merci

howdy mosh
howdy jbv
hang
Ruby no I am too big for conventional standard
Cross we use the only room the cats are not allowed in to dry clothes.
have a good story.. we took pics of the paint peeling off our lanai furniture and sent them in to the manufacturer - our 15 yr warranty was approved, so this morning we are hauling all the pieces down to have them redone. The store where we purchased it has gone out of business, but fortunately we are only an hour away from the manufacturer, yay..
its not you crossy honest, but i need to go now , going to the store with my neighbour to help her with her groceries, nice chatting with you guys i shall be back later to find my last 25

mornin babblers
morning Eva
hi Eva
howdy eva
havent listed yet either so I dont know what they start with
good morning Eva
I looked .... pr 8/50 and pr 9/66
<morning rant> i REALLY hate when i can hear people chew. everyday, for breakfast, lunch, and a few snacks, i can hear my coworker chewing, and it makes me want to hurl. i have to put in my earbuds to distract me form the noise. UGH. </morning rant>
ty mom
you're welcome Ruby
oh Eva, that is disgusting
that is very rude....and also one of my pet peaves too
that bothers me as well eva and people who talk with mouthfuls of food
I agree, EvaN, disgusting; it would drive me crazy, too. What about people chewing ice cubes?
I think that is listed as grounds for divorce
*hangs head, I chew ice but never in public*
i actually chew in ice cubes once in a blue moon...heh but this guy, its like i can hear all the moisture in his mouth. and i can hear his lips smacking together...
bad for your teeth, naughty mom!
I just swallowed too fast.
hi Eva - good strategy, glad you have some earbuds, hopefully attached to a radio playing soothing music
eeeew, stop, eva!
my M.I.L chews ice non stop,glass after glass from her fancy fridge door dispenser
hello Kaplan
is it, Ruby?
I once read it was a sign of an iron deficiency. Don't know if it is true or not
that's what my mother always said; I'm not really sure if it's true, just teasing you!
Hello there , Frenchie!
the chunks I chew are the small ones I don't want to through down the drain
let's get mom some liver!
It's worse when people chew things that arent even food.
liver ....yuck
uh oh, guilty there, bite my nails.... hanging head!
liver. . . .yum!
hi all
NOOOOOO, not liver ..... give jmc mine
hello jmc
hi jmc
dogs eat beef heart, chicken, chicken liver and brown rice risotto for dinner, with parmesan
chicken livers with onion and bacon and mushroom sauce, yum.. hi jmc
i finally figured out i bite my nails when i am bored and have no out
Bleaah.
well I must be off - breakfast, then work - hve a great day everyone
I like all organ meats except tripe
i like calf liver with rice covered with tomatoe and liver gravy
if I don't have something to do with my hands I find myself picking at them. A very bad habit
bye bye River, have a good day. ((Hugs))
this guy also chews on his nails all day long. now, im a former nail-biter, so i guess i cant really complain, but i see him with his fingers knuckle-deep in his mouth for most of the day!
I wouldn't eat liver until I grew up; my mother's liver was like shoe leather
i used to buy heart and grind for a cheap alternative to ground beef
better than his nose, Eva
ooh.. have to go , 35 to find later.. ciao for now, Babblers! .. am leaving the rest of the pot of espresso, so help yourselves.. (-:
((Hugs)) to all - poof
turn your back on this guy even
bye bye Aloy, have a great day
mom, im a picker too...heh
I think heart is very nourishing and doesn't taste as strng as liver for you squeamish gals
bye river and suffy
snuffy
wish i could, jmc -- our cubes face each other
or even as strong
hmmm a screen?
uh oh, hoofbeats
nope. not allowed.
wish there was a way to put up a blind for eva so she wouldn't have to look at Sir Makesanoise
lol, love it ....hoofbeats
the headless horseman?
when my kid start moving around,it is like the running of the bulls
46 left. Not bad for a morning. Now must clean up my breakfast and get ready for...what was it?...oh, yeah. Work.
have a great day Kap
bye kap
great purple hat, jm. (poof)
i am back to work today too after 2 sick days! practically a reacord
i guess i should get rid of my wedding duds
what's today's theme?
woo hoo got the pr words. .......
glad you are feeling better jmc
me too it sucked being sick especially with deadlines
drip
three letter word for before + not cursive and plural
sorry the cat distracted me
thanks jmc that gave me a couple of words
glad to help out
4 to be exact
hmmm i only got 2 *looking*
they all work off the word you posted
so, at the caf this morning, i bought a bagel, a bottle of green tea, and a little cup with carrot + celery sticks with a thing of ranch dressing. now, i know the tea cost $2-3 and the bagel cost a little over $1. my total was $9.
got the other 9 as well eq 8/65 and eq 9/84
oh good Lord, Eva, that is robbery
thats like $4-5 for carrots + celery!
that is why i pack a lunch nearly every day
maybe they rang it up wrong. Perhaps you should go check into it
i bet it is right
you buy an apple downtown and it costs $2
sadly, i now know it is right. wont be buying that there again!
i can buy the same thing in our little shop for maybe $2. or, as jmc said, just start bringing my own.
JMC, how are you feeling today? Eva, those prices are obscene.
when my sister worked at the Washington Post she would get a whole lunch for $5 but now she is elsewhere and has found that bringing her lunch pays off
fine molly, i will be leaving for work as soon as the silly housekeeper gets here
i usually do try to bring leftovers for lunch. i simply forgot today... will be buying again! AND it looks like ihave to eat early, as i have meetings at 12 and 1!
bummer evan
if i forget i figure i might as well go out to somewhere decent and have a light supper
got the 9's and most of the 8's, but no sign of the 10... what does it start with?
se Hurshy and hello
se hurshy
hi hursh
Hi pabtrek
from the top or the bottom?
hi pab
from the bottom
bottom
jmc -- i usually either get cheap takeout from somewhere in chinatown or try to go somewhere that serves large portions, so i can save half for tomorrows lunch. i figure at least then it justifies the cost a little better...
hi Mom, jmc, and everyone
chinatown is too far for me but that makes sense
the few cheap places near me are gone -- dupont circle cheap is chipotle
i feel sorry for my interns
its true. but there are some hole-in-the-wall places, still, arent there? i find some of the places you might at first be afraid to try often end up being quite good
morning
I have the se8, is that where the 10 comes from
hi sue
Hi Sue, yes ... and the prongs of a fork
I also have the eq8/55, but cant find the 9, am I blind?
no that is the problem the hole in the wall places are all places for chains or tourists
Sue, there is an eq 8/55 and the 9 is the plural of it
Sue, I think I told you wrong, the 10 comes off the se 7/32. sorry
is it the eq8 - askes one?
thats sad, jmc. i love checking out hidden treasures. when all else fails, i resort to our hot dog vendors...heh
pl the eq8 sue
i wish they are all gone here too--dupont circle is so different from 30 years ago
a half smoke all the way please
I must be blind, but now I have the askes and the asked and still cant see the 9
one who eq5 jmc.
one who eq 5/18 it is after the one who asks
hi, I'm back - jmc exactly 30 years ago I was eating lunch on park benches in dupont circle and enjoying the lunchtime crowd
plural the 8 sue
i love the dupont area, but i admit i am not very familiar with it. we were just there last week, at madhatters...heh
that would appear to be en not eq but i may be confused again
eva..reading back on your caf purchace.using that as an average,and assuming you go only once per day,you spend tween $250-$350 a month on caf food
no it is still a fun place but not the eclectic enclave it used to be
I am screwing up cluing so off I go.
Have a good day all of you. ((Hugs))
you were cluing just fine mom
thanks jmc, but I am making more mistakes than correct calls. Besides, the house chores await.
jbv we probably feed the pigeons together then
crossy, i dont go everyday. and i rarely ever spent that much. today was an anomoly.
you are right, i was looking at the en8, ty and got it
i was working at a hippy law office south of the circle on N st then
I worked at NIE (US Dept of HEW, then, ED) and I think the office was on 17 & M
I loved DC - we lived in Arlington, but spent most of our time in DC - had many friends in Adams-Morgan area
The expense that freaks me out are the people who hit Starbucks every day.
i started bringing my own thermos of tea and a muffin to work..was spending 5 dollars a day at tim hortons
i still work work at a hippy law office at home
If Reagan hadn't been elected and imposed a hiring freeze, I might still be there today
hints for the bottom E and S?
my staff makes me high end coffee from his brothers coffee roasting plant
come back then jbv
sn4 eva
bottom e is er 4
you know it's not an impossible thought, jmc -
my feminist dream come true--I walk into the office and tell my male subordinate to make me some coffee!
but my heart belongs to NYC so if I were going to move toward a city it would be that one
you could stay with me for a visit while you interview
oh no, no more interviews - I'm happily retired, remember? :)
but thank you very much for the offer
that's right! I am the one who is trying not to retire! lol
only ER4 i can make from the bottom actually comes from the top... :/
oh, sorry, eva, then it's eq 6 - a horse
i have always wanted to live in NYC for one year jsut to get to know it
hello everyone :)
DOH. i thought that was in there, but i talked myself out of it. thanks JBV!
eq6 eva
hi mr p
horsey
hi mixi you snuck in!
I feel very lucky that I grew up in NYC - although now I feel kind of like a tourist myself - don't get in as often as I'd like
hola MrP!
is the se10 off the shinny things on clothing and stuff
nbt finally!
HI jmc!
dont have the 10 yet sue.
okay i am tired of waiting for this housekeeper
hi again, all, gulping down tea before heading to work
10 starts with a snake and ends with a fork part
she is the one that wanted to come today and i need to get to work
hi uu
hi, jmc!
sneaking in for a few more words....
and hi river and mixi!!
great clue river!
and sue and eva and jbv!
hello everyone I missed earlier
great clue river
ty
down to 49 - guess I can list now
anyone know what today's theme is?
3 words from it
no, jmc, personally I am doing astronomy except today's picture was a video so I am doing national geographic instead
but that's just me :-)
nice uu
TY river! thats NBT and NBS for me! and halfway too!
ok, nbt and I am in the Finals week of school so off to study I go
i just feel like it is time to dump the wedding clothes
yay, eva!
bye sue study well
and study hard, sue! Have one more final to write myself...
yay Eva
my daughter has her AP Calculus exam today...she was so dreading it this morning
good luck to her, river!
I am sure she will do fine ....she is my math wiz
ever notice that none of the words contain = or ] (she says as she mistypes repeatedly)
huh?
I didn't get that either
just my inept fingers hitting the wrong keys - words with those characters somehow never make real words :-P
words with = or ] never make real words???
good to see you girls :)
Sue, speak words of English please. : D
who knew?
MrP - how are you
hey, mrp! I want to ask how things are going but I have to run to work now. bbl
*head swirls trying to comprehend uu*
maybe she was speaking mathematics--i am not fluent in it
see ya sue! check profile for update darling :)
here's what I mean - if I try to type inept but instead type ine[p it's not a real word :-)
glad its not just me....
ooooooohhhh! she was making a funny!
lol
river... doing ok thanks... have larangitis but family is very thanksful for that! LOL!!
sorry to be so dense your joke fell!
laryngitis doesn't stop conversation here!
my miso soup is helping my throat to stop hurting
work does alas. . . . bye all
I have to skype my husband in the other room to ask him for assistance!
see ya jmc!! (hugs)
((MrP)) just read your profile...cant imagine what you are going through - not there there is much we here in babble can do - but are willing to listen if you need a shoulder...will keep you in my prayers
measly laryngitis is nothing....
thanks river! Makes a huge difference having thoughts and prayers!
laryngitis is just another way of telling my body to stop now... no need to defend myself
oh, MrP, so much going on! sending the very best of vibes, prayers, wish, etc to you, Lickety, and the kids!
sending the stink-eye to the "prick"
thank you eva!! stink-eye is appreciated!!
sending prayers to his family, though. hope they dont have hoards of negativity coming their way for something he has done...
(((MRP)))
crossy!! (((hugs & kisses))) ! :)
i just made a pot of tetley bold tea here have a cuppa...
strong enough to stand a spoon up in,just the way a good tea should be;)
I have every legal right to sue him for punitive damages and defamation... but I would never do that cause I care about his children and wouldn't want them to suffer
tetley tea is awesome!!!
keep getting interrupted by my boss - guess its time to get back to work....have a great day and hugs to all
i think thats amazing, of you, MrP, and teaches a real lesson to your kids too. so often, when people are wronged, we want to wipe out everyone + everything in our path. its commendable that youre really + truly focusing only on the creep who is doing this to you.
this is a special blend called "bold" and is packaged as such..look it up.it is amazing
ok, so I have book, thumb drive, overhead pens, calculator, evaluation forms, and pencils. Must be ready for the LAST CLASSES!!!
indeed,kudos to you mrp.i am sure you will prevail
lol sue
sue..do you allow students to hand in homework on thumb drives yet?
just think,no paper waste on either end
and it sounds like things are working out as they should, mrp, hope it is all over soon and that you can focus on yourself!
omg, I just read 'overhead penis' in that sue!! LOL!! *blush*
no, crossy, although they can email it to me or put it in the digital dropbox in Blackboard
BRB, talk of tea makes me want some. :)
you are a naughty girl mrp
lol, mrp! now THAT would be an interesting class!
and now I have to get to it, bbl!
enjoy sue!!
crossy! would you expect anything different from me?? LOL!
not at all mrp..and i would not wish any
:)
:) *kisses*
a good earthy sense of humor is a must for tough times
and if you wish i can come over there and beat the pr*** up for you lol
hi mrp...you are a phantom in the grid today
He isn't worth the effort crossy... the pr*** is such a nobody, he has to make drama to be noticed. He hates that I ignore him!!
hi dart! (((hugs & kisses))) ! :)
:)
morning everyone!!
send him a box of chocolates with a note saying you wish to play nice but inject the things full of ex-lax lol
howdy cwest
another windy day in west Texas!! Praying for no new fires!
hi crossy
hahahaha!! he is a fat prick so he might need it to help him lose a few pounds too!
best of luck tex!!
we are 3 c and sunny
oh my brrrr!
thanks mrp!
Good morning Everyone!
mornin car
Oooh! 7 & 8 right off the bat!
anyone have a clue for the y please
yipper is a word... yippers is what the neighbor across the street has - two nasty little yippers.
my cousin and her daughter (20 or so) didn't see the sign for Annecy and wound up staying on the train and are now in Lyon! I'm going to blow myself up!
Oh - but - no that wasn't meant as a clue... it isn't a word...
yi6,30 What you will say when you get the clue (or finish the grid)
we are 11 C with 35km/h winds and very hazardous coastal condition.... shame about the 2 rock fishermen we lost in Sydney today. Blessed be
TY wht!
{{mrp}}
Sorry to hear that mrp.
ruby!! (((hugs & kisses))) ! :))
Good grief Ruby!
{{yet another reason for Babble Air Jet}}
ah car... it always happens to the usual cultures... they come to this country and don't realise the immense dangers and rock fish
ruby... ah family.... beautiful one day... interesting the next
overhead, hmm....
I was ranting before when I killed an hour going to and from the train station and walking back and forth etc looking for them. How dumb is that?
I am so tired, I'm about to drop!
<----- fingers not working this morning at all!
::laughing at ex-lax chocolates:: i most certainly did NOT ever bake brownies for a teacher laced with ex-lax. nope, never.
I had a friend in college who baked Ex-Lax brownies for a guy who had cheated on her (he didn't know she knew) and sent them with him on a basketball team road trip. Think about four guys with the runs and that tiny bus bathroom.
ooh. thats never pleasant. everyone knows that if you have to use a bus bathroom, you only go #1, never #2!
ruby, always up for an overhead
yi 6/30=what mrp would say if the pr*** fell off a rock whilst fishing...
give them a good cracking car... and threaten them with housework! seems to help mine
I abused them the last 2 days...they are on vacation.
You know what ??? I am so happy you refer to him as 'pr***'... just makes me smile!!
small pleasures are sometimes the best
molly, that is justice!! but sad for his friends!! good on her for 'getting up his goat'
"pr***" is the nicest possible word for this guy. he blew up your car! risked your family's health, safety, and LIVES! "pr***" is generous of you. i could think of several other words i would be calling him...
what? who blew up whose car?
oh my! Didn't read back in the chog....mrp...did they catch the guy?
need a clue for the first de5 pls
crossy, I so enjoy laughing and chatting with friends infront of his play of business... it shows him I don't give a flying F about him and there are more important things in life. Mind you, it is always coincidental that I meet up with my friends outside his business... and they are keen to talk to me there... I don't direct the conversation of meeting... it just happens
The first one I have is a god
now you can go one better than ex-lax..you can go to pharmacy get a 4 litre jug of peg-lyte(used to clean people out who are having a rectal exam) make him or her s smoothie out of it..they will crap out their innards for 3 days lol
thanks car, that was it!
Nice Crossy!
mr p who are u talking about?
much more important things than the pr***
: )
not yet car, but he has put into public record his motive and means... it will come undone. lil*monkey - see my profile hunny
lol mrp@ at chatting it up in front of his business(careful not to interfere with his custom)
yikes Mrp!
by the way, your profile says you are 68, Mr P. That has to be wrong by about 30 years
Oh my goodness MRP! I just read it too. {{hugs and prayers for you on all levels}}
I got the 10!!!!!
*High fives to Car*
how about a clue car??? please
TY Molly!
68!! holy moly!! something is wrong there!!
yay car!!
Word relating to my least favorite creatures on the planet...figures!
need help with the first 2 en words pls
crossy, I have no PVO in place, it was thrown out of court, I can be wherever I want, talk to whomever I want, and I do NOT harass his clients. He makes shit up to try and get me in trouble.
I only have en 6 & 7....the whole thing (s)
there are 3 before that, car
Ugh! Sorry! I will get the monkeys going...
he will get what is coming to him i am sure
OK got 2 of them car, it's a word for ask
se10 describes the way the word is in the grid as well.
I noticed that too wht!
how far you away from melbourne mrp? cause i must visit it soon(part of the family history you know)
Looking now lil*monkey...
i got all 3 car, all mean "ask"
Now back to work.
Bye wht! TY!
Morning all. Any clues for the pe7/8?
Got 'em!
and another 'coincidence' today... I was called for a meeting to KDSA and his car was parked in their driveway!! I refused to go in until he left!
mrp....who IS this guy? someone you worked with?
NM
Hello BzznBea!
Share a clue for those P's please?
hello everyone :)
Hi Cyber!
pe7/8 another name for the flower vinca and British for line
then plural
no car, someone who is obsessed with me through the soccer club
TYVM Bzzn!
What a pain in the ass MRP.
pe 7-6: short "winkle" flower + french province in Canada
The "obsessive stalker types" are scary Mr. P. Sorry this is still an issue for you.
*pe 7-8 that was
so what happened in court, mrp?
ty cybernan
Clue please for NE 5?
ne5/10 - to rhyme with famous car hire firm.
Ty and good morning Haz!
You're welcome, car - good morning/afternoon.
nan, his lawyer saw my evidence and told him to stop or he would be paying out $20K, cause he had no evidence of what he was saying, whereas I had evidence contradicting him. He is telling people he 'let me off'.... (what a load of shite) and he asked us to go to mediation (infront of another Magistrate). That magistrate will then make suggestions to get him off my back.
hello Haz
glad to hear things are finally going your way mrp. Hope that is continues to go that way.
At least I have no PVO out against me and can carry on with my life regardless of his obsessive issues
hi doxy!!!! My fellow eeyore fan!
hi car
thanks doxy... I truly believe all the prayers you guys and girls have given me have helped us plenty! We are finally getting very good luck
Hopefully that will put a stop to it, mrp -- sounds like the magistrate should order him to take psychiatric treatment.
but, can you believe this?? Pr*** asked for an interim PVO until the mediation!! The judge laughed at him and told him to pull his head in and get on with his life and let go of it.
in judge language of course!
I like that judge
She is a great judge... doesn't take rubbish
MRP....is there proof that he blew up the car?
i am glad your court day went well;)
no car.... arson destroys all evidence.
Fudge. I was hoping there was something left behind. Grrrr....
but he was casing out our house before our fire... my daughter saw him ... but it doesn't put a 'match' in his hands
well, car is paid out, house is under repair and we are moving forward! Mind you there are days I move backward at a very fast rate of knots, but I have you all and my local friends to help through those 'brainsnaps'
remember, 1 step at a time.
indeed !!

babble on the go would be AWESOME
agree !
aha.. fw.. fun grid, went faster than I expected. ciao, Babblers.. have fun, see you next time.
I have read that people play this on their smart phones. I have no clue how they read the tiny screen though.
its hard, believe me
i have a 3x3 screen and in order to play it over the internet is doable but could be so much better if an application was made that seperated the the grid, chat and words list into different screens
thanks for the soup i came to work today so am spending the day finding out all the things my staff didn't do while i was out sick *slurp*
whoo hooo snuffy!
i looked at it once on my BB and nearly died from squinting
whats snew, see snew is a word!
what does it mean then sue?

It's do-able Gadget.
Hi Mom, what's for lunch?

Hi Gadget
Sounds good Mom.

Hi Mlfan
Lunch then a nap. Sounds like a good day.
hI Mom

may I have a clue for any of the Y words for NBS
yi6 you say this when you get good news
thanks Molly
Molly, I lost interest in Brothers and Sisters this year. Do you think it will be renewed
stats for the T in the top left corner please?
ML, like the prongs on the fork only a different vowel for the second letter and past tense
I really hope so Mom. I love that show. I know what you mean though. The writing this year has been so-so. The last few episodes have been pretty good though. I'm so glad Kevin and Scotty got their baby.
oh good. Is Rebecca still on the show
thank you
you're welcome
No, Rebecca left to go to New York for a photography job.
huh. what is Justin doing now
Justin is an EMT and just recently got back together with Tyler, the girl he was dating a few seasons ago. She was the manager of the hotel that he worked at.
ok
may I have a hint for the pr8/9 pls
I also lost interest in Desperate Housewives. Both shows I never missed an episode
Hi Peri, before + not cursive
Apparently in the "year that went by" between last season and this season, Justin went back to Afghanistan and Rebecca didn't like that, so she divorced him while he was over there. How cold is that?

yay wht!!
afternoon babblers. currently sitting on a conference call training session. fun times!
And what, pray tell, are you being trained for Eva?
yeehah! got the 10 w/o stats!
privacy.
That's kind of funny. A conference call training session on privacy. : D
just read your profile Molly - keep going and be strong for yourself.
well, you have to have the URL for the private website, the phone number for the conference call, and the passcode for the conference call... all very private. ;)
Enjoy your call, Eva. Back to work for me.
Thanks Kazz. I was sorry to read of your loss this morning. Prayers out for you and your family.
thnks Molly - we wont know more till friday morning when the post motem and inquest have been held
i think its worsecos today is my sisters birthday
How come I can't get a single bottom S? Are they obscure?
That kind of waiting is very hard. Bless your sister, what a terrible loss to suffer on her birthday.
they are big words gadget!
so sorry to hear about your niece Kaz. Read it this morning, but you went just as I got on line
gadget - think of little bits of flashy things on clothes
Gadget, think of what tempted Eve in the garden of Eden.
and snakes!
thats nice Kalia - bloody great shock at the cost of funerals - £3,5k for absolute basic affair
Ahhh! Thanks!
wow, that is incredible. No idea they are so expensive!
i have decided taht i will have to save for mine as well
I was told that a lot of people have to take out loans to pay for funerals, as funeral homes will not wait on life insurance pay offs.
Well my Mum taking out a funeral plan doesn't sound so crazy now!
not everyone has life insurance either
well there wont be any of that sort of money - sis can get £700 from the Department of works and pension and as they are both on benefits or low wage i think the city council will have to pay the rest
none of the family has any money behind them - always needed it to pay for living - never thought abouth dying
I didn't know you got any money...is that for everyone Kaz?
anyone know what the 10 starts with please?
if you are on low income and the person who died was as well or on benefits then you can get it but the cheapo funeral wants dosh up front
sad that they have that to worry about as well
you can do it yourself - but the cremation alone is £660
The 10 starts with se
i havent go the 10 yet
ty Molly I have to look harder :)
It starts at the bottom, and is very twisty, which is a clue in itself.
thx Molly
thx Molly got it
good thing i have this training call on mute. its just so fascinating, i can hardly keep quiet!
or, maybe its because its so dull that i might be snoring...
one of those.
hubby home, must go see to dinner back later
see ya Kalia - mine will be back soon as well so i might have to do some as well
I often wonder about the people who make those training videos. Are they unaware of how completely boring they are?
must go and see to some tea back later with 61 to go
this isnt a video. there are actual people presenting on the other end of the phone. and we can see the slides they are presenting...
they do wonderful cremation services now my F.I.L had cremation,a service,the urn and a donation made on his behalf all for $1600.00 CAD was very nice
Hello Everyone
:)
i will have the wife do the same to me,i will not affront the earth with my rotting carcass and buy a 3000 dollar wooden box just so it can rot
what i did not know is that each urn with cremated remains come with a card and a serial number.this number may be required if at some future date you wish the askes set to the four winds or buried
ashes
Hi Sadie.
Those tags in cremated remains can be removed. If you want to scatter ashes in a place that might have a problem with it.
hiya Molly
gd evening everybody. I am still waiting for my cousin and her daughter who missed their connection for the train to Annecy and wound up in Lyon. If (when) they call from the station, I'll tell them to take a cab. Enough is enough
most do not tell anyways,just do it,my godfathers remains were jist set free over a particular lake that he loved
husband wants his ashes buried in the garden with the dogs
my wifes grandmothers ashes were mixed with soil and a rose bush planted
her name was indeed rosie;)
Private property is no problem. Public land is different, and if the tag is found, it can be traced back to the recipient of the remains.
well you do not leave the tag laying around lol
God planted "bear garlic" on the pups' graves and it's very beautiful
I have no idea why there is such resistance to ashes being scattered on public land. They are just ashes.
i agree,like i say,most just do it anyways and bring the urn home
With so many people resorting to cremation because of cost, I won't be surprised to see more "scattering areas" crop up.
lol,we have algonquin part up here.thens of thousands of miles of nothing but lakes,rivers,islands and woods..not too hard to find a place to set a loved one free
go to north bay..call louzon airways and rent a float plane and in 30 minutes you can be on a pocket lake in the middle of 5000 mile of bush
sigh...beautiful place it tis...
most people scatter cremains without legal permission as i did with my husbands--the cemetery lobby i suspect have a lot to do with it
but to be clear, they are a lot lumpier than paper or wood ashes
the advantage to cemeteries is that they help preserve open spaces in cities
they are.the 2 that i have seen are about 2 pounds of bone/ash in a large poly bag
in London, sometimes there are playgrounds in old cemeteries -- green space is green space
we have a lovely arboredum(sp) here with many tree and flower planted and donated in the memory of loved ones,and it is entirely situated over the original town dump
Oh JMC, of course. I never thought of the cemetery lobby being behind all the restrictions. I scattered my husband's ashes by a lake. It was not technically a "legal" place to do it, so I did it on a day that it was raining.
i shall put my loved ones ashes wherever the heck i wish we have enough crown land up here to lose a million people in..if someone has an issue with it.too bad
any clue for the pr8 ? ...I assume the pr9 is either the plural or the past tense
nevermind...I got it
mine husbands ashes are among the roses at the Meeting House where we were married
*my
You picked a nice place JMC.
I scattered my mother's and husband's ashes off a beach in Oregon. Hung onto them for about ten years which was beginning to feel a little ghoulish. They didn't get along that well. I scattered them together. That'll teach them, dying on me within a few months of one another.
my parents too kmy grandmothers ashes back to england + spread them over the Thames
Origami, sorry to hear that. One loss is hard enough. Two in a few months is very hard to bear.
Thanks Molly. My sister died during the same time as well. And, I still have my son's ashes to deal with, but I can't do that quite yet. This life has been about loss :-(
Whoever said "God never gives a person more than they can handle" is a big fat liar.
Bless you Origami. I find it extremely unfair that one person should have to endure so much loss at once.
i am so sorry origami -- sounds really rough
my brother died within a year of my husband but I didn't like my brother so it was mainly hard on my mother
Ah, one of my favorite song writers is in the grid. *She was a level headed dance, on the road to alcohol*
and i will tell you Molly time does help--it has been since 1993 when my husband died and while i miss him (and still occasionally get mad at him for dieing) it is not anywhere near as sharp as it once was
*dancer
Thanks guys. And I agree with what you said about what folks can handle Molly. It was a very tough time because my father and other sister had died when I was younger, so it felt like a lot more than I could endure at the time.
:-) sounds like he was writing about me
so sorry for all of your losses, origami, do you have any family left?
hi peri
hi jmc
hi jmc hello all
Alas, no Peri. My friends are really my family now. It helps!
No JMC, this part he wrote about you: She danced around the bar-room, and she did the hootchie-coo.
(((((origami))))))
what exactly is the hootchie-coo?
"dances the hootchie-coo!*
LOL, jmc
sorta like dirty dancing/bump and grind
ah, ok
*sigh* no jack at the office
I am glad you are surrounded by friends outside of babbleland
okay i must call the Maryland tax people and find out why they are mad at me this week
The hootchie-coo is what topless ladies in bar rooms dance. Apparently I am the only one here who knows of John Prine.
*dances out of the chog*
next time jmc must dance topless
bbl

oh.. really?
Is it a Tada type of event or something wrong?
you never know in this town
if anyone named squeaky is around get the hell outta there jm
apparently prince charles is in town looking at organic farms nearby
good advice ru! lol
Seriously?
oh jeez.. him and his gardens
prince charles owns a farm about 25 miles form my house in wales
yes i read dcist which keeps me in the "local" know
Cool!
Alright, I am off to get dinner plated. Have a wonderful evening everyone!
i came away with a slightly less annoyed attitude about him when i watched the documovie about william and kate
Think of all the money your government spends so that he can look at squash..lol
have fun car
it is in the village of myddfai (mith-v-eye) which is famous in welsh folklore for the herbalists who lived there for generations - the physicians of myddfai
bye car
hate to break it to you but so does your government
bye car
*look of disbelief*
doesn't everybody's government?
yeah.. i guess you are right
pretty much glan
what really gripes me is the DC government will have to do it too and we get no respect
I hear the prince and camilla like to have sex in the garden..(giggle)
*rolls eyes*
i would but (a) no one to have it with and (b) garden is in national park
same here jmc!
*that's what their butler said*
lol!
too many passing hikers
hope they fired his ass
...well nothing like the wild outdoors.. I guess..
remembering some of their reported phone conversations - to do with his wishing he was her sanitary absorbers - i don;t think i want to know about theor sex life
butlers should keep their mouths shut about their employers
*recalling some outdoor romps from yesteryear*
butlers should definitely not tell - and neither should anybody else - there are things which should remain private
me too LOL!!
well I heard Charles gave it his tampon approval
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
yes, the great outdoors have had some fun moments for me too LOL
i doubt many of our conversations about sex with our beloveds would hold up to scrutiny
groan ruru
(again)
my husband used to call me "wify-pooh" and I would hate for that to make the news!
*smug look*
oh jeez
*ignoring ru*
wifey or whiffy??? ;-)
lololol
wifey i guess never had to spell it
:-)
I had sex outdoors only once..not for me personally
thankfully none of my consrts has given me an embarrassing nickname
ONCE???
i suspect if we all think back about such conversations we all have something to blush about
Did you call him Love-muffin jmc?
could count the occasions on one hand - and it depends on the arter in my opinion LOL
never did call him that ru
arter=partner
hmmm i would need at least two hands *counts*
lambikins?
LOL
pooh-bear?
(knows he's close now)
mostly counselor since he was an attorney to
personally the thrill of being caught was an offputter but fo my husband that was the thrill of the utdors

and we tended to say "I rest my case" a lot! lol
sugarbooger?
ROFL
lOL
nope
euwww - sugarbooger? is a booger something that comes out of your nose in the US? It is here!
yes
lol glan i never knew that!
The first place I heard it was on a kids animated show- from a mom to her son...
oh wait i misread i though you said sugarbooger was what you brits called what we call a booger
*tears running down face*
Glad I don't go by pet names..

<-----Notices that Ruru is turning blue.
Call him a sugarbooger - it'll make him laugh and he'll have to breathe
or maybe not
I believe he has passed out due to lack of oxygen. Perhaps JMC can dance the hootchie-coo and arouse him when she returns.

Thanks Red.

It's been a weird couple of weeks. I'm just taking things one day at a time.
good way to be I imagine.

Hi, all
My condolences, too, Molly.

Thanks Pam and Kap.
hello all
Hey Cos
did I miss something, Molly?
It was a year ago May 2nd that my husband passed Peri.
oh molly im sorry. :( sending hugs your way
Thanks Cos. Hugs are very therapeutic.
Oh, I did not know, Molly, how are you holding up?
(((((Molly)))))
One year....
what is time?
it's about 5 :11 here kap
i think that was a rhetorical ??, ruru
I know.. I'm pulling Kap's leg
oh ok :P
I remember after Dan died, thinking that I needed to do something different on the computer. So much of what I do computer wise is related to his work, since he was a web site designer. So I started playing Babble again. This place has been a constant source of community and laughter for me in the past year. I'm grateful for that.
im glad you have a place to go when you need a smile, thats always important
I am here to make you laugh Molly.
and wipe beer off your computer screen
Ah, there is nothing more endearing than someone who will wipe up your beer spew. You are golden Ruru. : D
*adjusts halo*
anyone have the st 5/10 after the sore throat word?
Got here after the beer spill. Making chiles rellenos tonight. Would go well with beer. Better with friends.
no. .before the sore throat word
gargle? is that it cosdem?
oh yum stid... we're grilling chicken, hash browns and garlic bread
gargle doesnt start with st?
We need to combine the meal. Meet you half way. No gargle starts with gargle but is sore-throat related.
there is no 5/10 after the throat thing
lets do that :)... hmm ill try looking for that
i corrected myself ruru at 7:19
before it is a plural to mix
ohits a plural

Yi6/30! I have finished the en5/10 grid, even though it was not very ti 4/6. I feel re7/40d to do a story of clues because the grid was not easy. I do not usually listen to the ne4/8, but it pi 6/33 my interest when I heard Osama Bin Laden had been captured and killed The ne4/8 sw5/20 through the nation at rapid speed But now it ir 4/4 me how people do not really think it was Bin Laden.I mean that's just ne5/10!I think they are ni5/14 for questioning it. Now some are going to en7/40 about what they really did with the body.I do believe it was Bin Laden who they found pe 4/5 up in that compound. I do not think many will we4/9 and pi 4/5 over his death or pi 4/7 him for the way he died. If any tears are we 4/9, they'll be tears of joy. Bush and Obama have tr 5/12 hard to get him for several years and it finally happened. It will be interesting to see what will be pr5/12ed about this in ne4/8papers. I commend the Navy Seals who were well eq 5/18ped before raiding the compund. Now that Al Qeuida has been st5/12ped of their leader,I hope they do not st 4/4 up trouble because of this. My hubby is ti5/12 of waiting for the computer and would like to acqu5/16 the computer from me now. Now I am going to qu4/7 babbling. I'm going to go watch "The Se 7/32 and the Rainbow", a movie I re4/4ed. Then I'm going to go pr 4/6are myself for bed&goto sleep.I hope you have se 4/4 more words with this story of clues. Goodnight all
TY MIN:) i have copied it and will go through it shorty;)

yw crosshair
yay, min! Thanks!
and go minsky!
yw uusue2
and oops, I have to go pick up my partner, bbs! 28 left (but expert is being really slow so I am switching back and forth between it and chrome)
hi all
Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.
is there an extra en7 on the grip that isn't in likety's list?
Hello TeaNCrackers!How are you?Welcome to the grid
I have 3 en7s at the end and no en6
first qu7?
oh no I see the problem. let me refresh. brb.
en 6/18: Have you finished the en**** grid yet Minski?
That qu 7/44 is the past tense of a question Shirlockc
are there 2 en6?
thx min ws twisting the wrong way
I have the one you clued min.
yw
and it's 7
Other en6/18 word may mean the main course Minksi
The en 7/28 word is plural of the en 6/18 word Minski
if you wish to copy mins long story to note pad,you may have to hit the word wrap function for it to display correctly
and that is under the format tab
You can also copy it into a word document if needed.
indeed
That's the oddity on my word list. I have the en6 that means main course but it is scored as an en7/24. the corresponding en7 is scored as an en7/28. odd and it isn't counting.
It is also in profile, so if I am in your my friends list it is easily accessible.Sprite is in my friends list so I can get the daily icon themes easily.
Maybe refresh the page and it might fix itself Minski?
good,we love your stories and hate to lose them if the chat is runing fast
Min... awesome help. got me the 10 too!
Thanks crosshair. Today's story may be controversial
Good for uou putuffala!
*you
well for all your hard work min,i shall post one more of"crossy,s useless bit of information of the day" for you it is a daily feature i am running
The @ sign was very close to being eliminated from the standard keyboard until 1971, when Ray Tomlinson wrote it into the code used to send the first email.
!!!!!FIREWORKS!!!!!

Congratulations Minski on your fireworks! Good for U

nothing appropriate to anything
whoooo hoooooo WV
good night all - long day
sigh..i do not have the fortitude to cull the chog log for words at this late hour,so i shall just hunt and peck till the bed and the prospect of my current read becomes to strong to resist
night, WV
hi there. Are we skyping tomorrow or what??
every now and then,i think back and get a hazy image of the teacher who taught me to read back in the early grades in public school.i can see her face,i do not know her name and she is long gone,but i wish that i could speak to her for 2 minutes and thank her for the wonderous gift of reading and the undrestanding of stories that take one away from the now and in a heartbeat can wisk you away to different lands or even different worlds...
opps the message is for lbd.....
crosshair, I am with you all the way. When I retire I want to volunteer in a grade school and work with kids who can't read. It is the greatest gift anyone can give you
it is indeed joey
it is a gift that never ends..i cannot imagine a life without books
my parents read to me probably from before I was born, every night all the time. i still read a lot. at least 10 minutes every day no matter what
hi shoo. are you doing lunch tomorrow?
books were my companion in schools,my solace,my place to go when the world was cruel and hard...
haven't decided yet.
yup. taught me about worlds, how to herd sheep, what it was like to climb Mt Everest ad infinitum
its suppose to be 80 tomorrow..so the weathr will be nice
we can skype friday evening if you want
furball will enjoy being taken for a walk i'm sure.
that would work..what time?? I have to work saturday..
i have to work saturday too, so say 6 your time?
that should work
6 my time. Ill let you email annie
okay, talk to you both then.
k. now have to try to get some of these words...lol
bye
the grid isn't too bad. you can do it!
lol joey you will love my book line up for the next bit..i am on the last book of the harry potter series(which i have read for the first time,my next boo series is clan of the cave bear,then farenheit 451 by ray bradbury,then flowers for algernon,then the dune series
evening all! the 10 is very self-descriptive :-)
so many books,so little time
howdy dan
OMG. I have read all of everyone except clan of the cave bear. I read the first one there and couldn't get much farther. Read the Mote in God's Eye. I don't remember who it is by, but I remember that I read it and loved it.
hi dan
if you can find a copy of "space mail" edited by issac azimov"
I am going through my 7 bookcases and giving away the books that I am never going to read - just bought them at one time because. I have about 4 filled with books I haven't read, and 3 filled with books that I have read, but won't get rid of. I also have quite a few autographed first editions that I will not get rid of no matter what.
and try to read the collection called 'golden apples of the sun"
I have never heard of those.
both amazing books and if you need a copy of "flowers for algernon ,i can supply it to you in e-book format so you can read it on computer or e-book reader if you have one
I am haunted by a short story that I read many many years ago, about a bunch of highly intelligent children who were being taught in a special school and lived in a universe about a second off from everyone else. It was in an anthology. have searched every which way.
it was made into a movie called 'charlie" in the 80,s
I read flowers for algernon years ago, many years ago. i just got a kindle - yesterday - can it be transferred to that?
you want to be haunted??? find a short story called "the cold equasions" by tom goodwin..was a movie also
a kindle is too proprietary..i wish you had gotten a sny or a nook
sony
i have over 500 books if only you had not chosen a kindle
I got a sony reader about 3 years ago. My computer is dial up, 5 years old and slower than molasses. When I read about the new kindle where you don't even need a computer I jumped on it.
500 on your portable?
i think i can do flowers in html..but epib is netter..and kindle does not support it
better
yup 500 titles on my barnes and noble nook reader
hey, on the haunted part - at least you have a name and an author.
crap, had I known........
all in html or e-pub file format
e-pub format is the choice of all libraries
I just looked through my books, there is another one that I wante to recommend. But I can't find it at the moment, and the only way I could describe it would give away the very surprising ending - it is Sci-Fi also. I will have to give it a little better look.
ok, since you seem to be knowledgable, I am only going to be able to get books through Amazon on the kindle?
kindle handles pdf's
dan, thanks, I understand the words but not how they are put together. I have PDF files on my computer at work, does that mean I could download from work?
indeed,if you have a kindle you can only get books through them
i can convert to pdfs, using the claibre book conversion software
okey, dokey. that was what I needed to know. that's okay, they have a lot of free books that will take me a while to get through
and everyone get the free calibre software
calibre rocks!!
what does that mean? I am a neophite on this thing
i can convert to e-pub,html,pdf,lit etc
so what you are saying is you can download from many sources and then with the software convert the item to something you can read?
what is the extension on the kindle?
the kindle is very restrictive..sorry
so, i probably won't be able to download from the library,right?
well,all public libraries are in e-pub
hate to say this - you didn't answer my question. can I download e-pubs to the Kindle?
but..a friend can convert it tohtml for you
I am really dumb on this stuff
kindle does NOT support e-pibs
and then I can get it from a friend? how would I do that?
sorry
explore calibre ot can do many file conversions
okay, I will do that. thanks for all the help, and I am sorry to the rest of the babblers for hogging the chat
but you cannot load direct from a library as they only ise e-pub
I have that now - thanks
np, and i am glad to help as i can joey
you are very, very helpful to me. thanks
but remember,calbre is good for all readers
calbre. software, I can buy and put on the kindle, right?
calibre*
it is free,and goes on your computer to convert book file formats
okay. so it has to go onto my computer?
yes
this has led me to many more questions. what do I need to have on my computer to download books from the computer?
ok...
there are many site to get books...
www.gutenberg.com...
do I need something special to download to my computer?
and there are e-book sharing sites...google them...
and of course you can google e-book torrents...
but start with www.gutenberg.com
thanks
and of course if you download calibre,i can send you over 500 books
calibre onto my computer and you can send books through email?
yes i can
i have given my book list to many babbliers
zip file and then convert to whatever kindle uses and then upload to kindle?
yup
awesome............ once I come back from vacation i will check it out. leaving tomorrow and have so much to do before then

hi mrp
yeah. concentration is not happening for me. i think i'm off to shower and such.
ripe riper
oops !!! sorry
my flu drugs are getting to me
***fireworks***... (last word means "–noun Scot. and North England . earth.") -- found via morewords, of course.
hello all -- it's been a busy day as usual
hello mrp -- you don't need a bug on top of everything else! Got it from Lickety?
Plus stress, of course.
he has given me his flu and my body totally shut me down after the court case
Poor mrp! (((hugs)))
on ya for fireworks jilli! ( (hugs)) :))
but, you won't believe what is happening now!!
I hope it's something good, mrp!
the prick (as my stalker is known as) looks like he is selling up his house and closing his business... BUT, he has a double mortgage and the business is going bankrupt... everyone knows. HOWEVER... he will make it known to all and sundry that we forced him to leave cause he was so scared of us...
oh jesus -- he is a real nut case.
He has set this whole thing up... I thought he was an idiot, but his wife is the one that has made sure she doesn't look like she is now broke
she is too
I hope they move far far away
AND ..... yesterday!!! A bus full of boys from Luke's school heard a year 9 boy speaking to my son's friend... the year 9 boy said asked where my son's friend was going and he told him, 'down to Luke's place'. Year 9 boy replies, 'Michelle is a total biatch cause she set fire to my friends house'... everyone heard!! I went to the school today and those little bastards are in massive trouble. Prick has a son in year 9 at the same school, so we know where that is all coming from.
The school is taking it very seriously cause that type of defamation can lead to my son and his friends being bullied by the bigger boys who believe the shite coming out of the Prick's mouth via his son.
OMG!!!
Have you found a lawyer?
I'm glad your school is taking it seriously and is aware of the dreadful results of bullying.
we have a very good Lawyer!!
That school hates bullying
hello everyone :)
hi nan!!
read the chat mrp -- hopefully he will be moving out soon!
i can't find the last word... st8/50?? clues please??
off to make a cuppa before the flip --bbl
st 8: one who takes off his/her clothes
I hope so too nan, looks like they are planning on going... his wife is very proud about money and would not want people thinking they were 'downsizing'!!
gypsy rose lee was one
thanks nan! fireworks!
grats, mrp :)
hooray for mrp!!! (In more ways than one)
My prayers will be answered if they leave the area. The prick is dangerous and this neighbourhood would be much better off
I hope so too.
371
Boo hisssss
I hope not grem -- more like 173 would be nice
173
That's better
