1:55 am

hmmm, maybe, liz

1:55 am

an imbibers spelling of lush

1:55 am

tr 6 / 7 pls?

1:56 am

7's a plural I'd guess.

1:56 am

Maybe a comment from a drunk figure skating announcer?

1:56 am

*in spasms of laughter* who's the imbiber, joso? ruru or liz?

1:56 am

Or maybe all 3

1:56 am

tr6, 3 if it's a card, + not pot but ***

1:56 am

liz, surgeons saw, tr + vowel + cooking pot

1:57 am

Wow... granny pulled a triple luz...hic...

1:57 am

Duh! I've got that! So it's a different 7 I'm missing!

2:01 am

2:01 am

lolol...yeah i know...was the first thing i thought of. sad isn't it?

2:01 am

Ooooh! Like that one but not sure my hubby would unless it's with him!

2:01 am

good for chewing up alot of free time

2:02 am

liz, you should always be having a torrid affair with your husband. it's the secret to a long and happy marriage.

2:02 am

if you tell hubby you really don't know how afairs work

2:03 am

With my luck it would be a horrid affair

2:03 am

But Rose is right Joso - life is a torrid affair, happily.

2:03 am

I bet you always coloured inside the lines too

2:03 am

awww, ruru. {{hugs}} mate. and you too, sir joso.

2:04 am

Don't forget, like Rose, I've only been with my hubby 10 years.

2:04 am

i flirt with don, shamelessly every day.

2:04 am

So it's all still very new!!!!

2:04 am

Me too - but not with Don! And him with me!~

2:04 am

ditto, liz. 10 years this july.

2:04 am

ok ok, so bake cookies instead

2:04 am

We'll be 11 years in June.

2:05 am

Think I'll just walk on the beach!

2:05 am

Ah..The 12 year itch...

2:05 am

lolol, what a wet blanket!!!

2:05 am

And perhaps swim in the pool!

2:05 am

Both with my hubby!

2:06 am

I bet I have had to refresh ten times so far

3:41 am

3:41 am

I dont know what kievs is

3:42 am

a city, like yorkshire pudding

3:42 am

3:43 am

just part of a recipe name

3:43 am

so she had chicken pudding then? LOL

3:44 am

exactly, precisely what i ment

3:45 am

that dont sound too good--like puree food--yucky

3:46 am

chicken kiev is a drumstick or breast stuffed with a roll of frozen butter and sauteed with garlic and dill

3:46 am

pugs and joso, kiev is a chicken fillet rolled and covered in bread crumbs. can be filled with garlic butter or cheeses. very yummy.

3:46 am

3:49 am

thanks, *poof

3:49 am

g'night annie

3:49 am

feeling pretty shitty today. Guess the bug is winning.

3:51 am

ahh, hugs Sprite---no group or outing for you tomorrow

3:52 am

this site will perk you up sprite; http://tinyurl.com/l77lrj6

3:52 am

unless its to the doctor

3:52 am

nope, am afraid not. Am feverish. Next week.

3:55 am

will check it out later, joso, I have to sign up and I just did, and now it wants me to tell them what I want to explore. Takes too much time now. Thanks though :)

3:56 am

doctor? Nah. When I go to the doctor I will be better in a week. And if I don't go, it will take 7 daysl.

3:57 am

sorry sprite, didn't realize it was so much trouble

3:57 am

just beware with that flu bug please. Some are kind of bad-ass

3:58 am

it is great of you to find me something to perk me up, joso. You couldn't know I wasn't connected to StumbleUpon yet. *hugs*

3:58 am

I got a shot against the really bad ones, pug, no worries. This is just a bug that loves me too much.

3:59 am

enough about me. How are my friends doing today? How is the room coming along, rose? And how are you managing the pain and the lesser meds? Pugs, how are you and your sister doing? And joso, how are you yourself?

4:00 am

Iam fine and dandy today---jammin out to some 50 music

4:01 am

wooooot pug! Good for you. Nothing like the old Rock n roll times for music.

4:01 am

right now the song sugar shack is on

4:02 am

that is really old style RnR... the best there is :)

4:03 am

yeah, LOL- I can pretend Iam playing the piano or guitar along with then and no one is the wiser of my sillyness

4:03 am

the postman is on now

4:03 am

or the flute, with the sugar shack... that funny little flute in between the lines.

4:03 am

sprite, never enough about you dear. don's car is full as a goog(egg). he will off load at the charity shop tomorrow, and ask them about a truck to collect the furniture. he has been wonderful. he has cleaned a beautiful rug we bought the MIL which she covered in food and drink spills.next step wash/dry clean the curtains.and wash the walls.

4:04 am

wow, so much progress, rose! You will be living cool and roomy in no time now.

4:05 am

pretty soon that room will have a echo in it--lol

4:06 am

oh, sprite. small step backwards he4. i tossed and turned all night because the pain became too bad. so i have upped the ante again. will try again next weekend. i am so disappointed.

4:08 am

(((((((rose))))))) sweetie, please don't be. The fact that you tried is worth a lot already. You wil get there when you can, as soon as you can. Being in too much pain is not going to help, so very wise of you to up the meds for now.

4:11 am

thanx dearest. i really appreciate your support and wise counsel...and pugs too. you both are so comforting.

4:12 am

even when we are on your case? lol

4:12 am

*hugs rose* That's cuz we luv u hun :)

4:12 am

even when you are on my case...because i know it's because you care.

4:12 am

I need help on my last (4) words whenever you get yours Sprite

4:13 am

yes we do(seconding what Sprite said)

4:13 am

OMG rose is not supergirl, all my illusions are shattered

4:13 am

pug, feel free to ask! I don't mind some clues, I just don't like too much of them.

4:13 am

lolol joso!

4:13 am

LOLOL, joso. thank-you my dearest iconoclast.

4:14 am

you gave it an honest try, really how high a bar do you set for yourself

4:15 am

Iam missing one ap5/12(got the one that rhymns with part of a book)

4:15 am

waaaay up there, joso. over the rainbow!

4:15 am

ap5, ap + ***ra firma

4:16 am

it comes from being raised by a narcissistic parent, joso. Only 100% perfect is good enough, and then only just.

4:16 am

ap5 more apropos

4:16 am

nope, it's the plural of someone who copies

4:17 am

yea, well get your legs working before you try running the high hurtles, sheesh

4:17 am

ah, the monkey impersonators. Thanks rose.

4:17 am

*snuggles into sprite* why couldn't you have been my mummy??

4:18 am

got it--ths

4:18 am

would gladly have been, rose! And vice versa. *hugs*

4:18 am

now te6/21

4:18 am

yeah....consider it done, sprite, hun

4:19 am

te + colour + circle

4:19 am

if you had a different mummy, then you wouldnt be you

4:20 am

true, pugs...but maybe i would have been...as i try very hard not to be like my own mother. who knows?

4:20 am

ty, 2 more to go----am I bothering you Sprite

4:20 am

yea rose, sorry you had a rough trip, but i'm very happy with what arrived

4:21 am

*smiling at an amazing friend* thanx, mate

4:21 am

not at all, pug!

4:22 am

I think you would always have been you, rose. Just a bit more carefree. And with less understanding for other people's suffering. Cause that is the gain we get for going through rough trips.

4:22 am

okay then--my last 2 are pe6/21 and a go5/16(i got the horn one)

4:23 am

more of the pe4/5

4:24 am

go5, the man upstairs + alien who phoned home.

4:24 am

I very very much love that clue, rose

4:24 am

a bit ironic though, sprite

4:24 am

thank you! thats fws for me! :)

ok rose, see you soon

4:26 am

4:26 am

Sprite is this flu throwing your sugar out of whack

4:27 am

Is Ironic the Most Abused Word in English?

4:27 am

totally, pug. It is uncontrollable atm. Spikes up and plummets down and back again.

4:27 am

GOOD MORNING OO

4:27 am

4:31 am

as far as I know, ironic means saying one thing while meaning the opposite, it is often a bit humorous and not cutting like sarcasm.

4:31 am

a lot comes to mind .... but it is two words

4:31 am

lol o-o

4:31 am

I will have to look it up later too

4:32 am

sardonic

4:32 am

does that go along with ironic?

4:33 am

sardonic... now there I am not sure. More cutting than ironic? A bit down-putting maybe?

4:34 am

Iam getting out the dict.--lol

4:36 am

I like talking about words. Sharpens my knowledge of english.

4:36 am

whoot, o-o is he4. g'day mate. are you having a good day/evening?

4:36 am

wb rose :)

4:37 am

in my dict--it says that it means bitterly sarcastic

4:37 am

ah yes, that is it, more bitter than irony.

4:39 am

omg...i just realised ...i am still in my pajamas....and it's nearly bed-time again. lolol.

4:39 am

If I hadent been stupid and quit school , I might know words better :(

4:39 am

sardonic: characterized by bitter or scornful derision; mocking; cynical; sneering

4:39 am

well, you wont have to change then

4:40 am

pug, you certainly didn't quit school out of stupidity. You shouldn't say things like that about yourself.

4:40 am

pugs....you are perfect, my dear. your heart is so full of love and kindness.

4:40 am

lol rose... no use getting dressed then.

4:40 am

and you are smart and a fast learner, and more importantly all what rose just said.

4:41 am

well i could take them off and put them back on...but don might interfere with the process..

4:41 am

bring out the tutu, rose

4:41 am

that stuff dont help with knowledge though

4:41 am

you don't lack knowledge, pug. You pick things up so very very quickly.

4:42 am

if you havent done anything to smell em up then leave em on I say

4:42 am

pugs, you are wise in so many ways, dear. and that tells us how smart you really are.

4:42 am

thanks guys anyway

4:43 am

no need for thanks, it is the simple truth

4:43 am

I did go to night school to get my ged but thats not the same as class room teaching though

4:44 am

no it takes a lot more endurance.

4:44 am

knowing words and how to spell them is no indication of intelligence. knowing how to live life and help others along the way is.

4:44 am

A-freakin'-men to that, rose

4:45 am

so it sounds like you got a busy day tomorrow Rose

4:45 am

and where is my o-o? did you go back to sleep, dear?

4:47 am

pugs, not me...poor don...there is also the supermarket shopping to be done. and the dry-cleaners...and, and, and..gosh i adore this man.

4:47 am

Rose they were telling on the news that if one is throwing up it is not likely you got the flu--is that true

4:47 am

Negative chatter is so insidious Our findings revealed that somewhere between 60 and 70 percent of the average students’ spontaneously occurring thoughts are negative. This is in sharp contrast to what they expected going into the exercise: they expected 60 – 75% of their thoughts to be positive. Further, our findings revealed that there are three main categories into which people’s mental chatter falls: Negative Mental Chatter 1. Thoughts related to inferiority (“Other students are going to do better than me on the exam.”) 2. Thoughts related to love and approval (“How come I am the only one who’s not taken?”) 3. Thoughts related to control-seeking (“Why don’t my team-mates ever listen to the suggestions I make?”).

4:47 am

Tammy's in Love is on---I love that song

4:48 am

I can relate to that. When closely observing my thoughts, I find that I am negative a lot more often than I realised.

4:48 am

so love hearing you enjoy yourself, pug

4:49 am

pugs, in the US of A they refer to a stomach flu...which is theoretically true, as it is caused by a virus. there is also a flu which is a virus which affects our respiratory system.

4:49 am

Cognitive distortions are rampant.

4:50 am

they sure are. Am trying to teach myself to be kinder to myself and man man man is it hard. Seems I put myself down every other thought.

4:51 am

o-o, point three i can relate to.but am i control seeking, or just seeking some sort of recognition that i exist?

4:52 am

Pugs, you are a curious person .... finding answers is a worthy goal ... never stop learning

4:52 am

as a child of a narcissistic parent....and?? what do you expect, dear? it is ingrained, from birth.

4:53 am

probably both, rose. We yearn for some semblance of control, and we want to be acknowledged by others.

4:53 am

Iam like that too Sprite and I try watching it since OO pointed me to that site here awhile back. I think alot comes from my childhood(like dad and grade school)

4:53 am

thank you OO

4:54 am

*hugs pugs*

4:55 am

and its really hard to change those thoughts or it is for me--they just sneak up on me like a shadow

4:56 am

Change is a risk with no guarantees of something better ... but being kinder, more compassionate and more forgiving to yourself is a lifetime process worthy of pursuing

4:57 am

not just for you, pug, it is really hard. Not giving up and just keeping at it is the only way. And correcting yourself. So when you think: "I was stupid" correct your thoughts and say to yourself: "I was not stupid, I made a decision I later re6ted. But I chose with the knowledge and wisdom I had at that point."

4:57 am

My pursuit is to walk through those white gates because I sure do hate the heat

4:57 am

amen to that, o-o

4:58 am

so true OO

4:58 am

sweetie, don't worry, God wants you at His side. You are beautiful, loving and caring.

4:59 am

plus I dont look good in red--lol

4:59 am

lolol

5:03 am

and a pitchfork is not my ideal as a fashion accessory.

5:04 am

I have seen this tiny cartoon of a little devil peeking over a wall and saying: "God is busy, may I help you?"

5:05 am

Stepping out of one's comfort zone is a scary adventure, even when the comfort zone is toxic.

5:05 am

darn red boxes and reset

5:06 am

oh, exactly. That is the same as: a familiar feeling is a good feeling, even if it is a rotten feeling."

5:06 am

so very true OO

5:08 am

Iam not one to like changes but they go on everyday

5:08 am

We must decide ... do we want a better life? If so, setting achievable goals is the quest to bring us to a more meaningful place.

5:08 am

fireflies

5:09 am

yahoo Sprite

5:09 am

Well done.

5:09 am

thank you

5:10 am

yes, one babystep at a time. And not be angry at ourselves when we do a step back, because a learning curve is never continuous.

5:10 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

5:10 am

thanks :)

5:11 am

but what you want may not be reachable either--maybe in our mind

5:11 am

“Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” - Fitzhugh Dodson “First you write down your goal; your second job is to break down your goal into a series of steps, beginning with steps which are absurdly easy.” - Fitzhugh Dodson

5:12 am

what about when you give up on those dreams and goals OO---sometimes its just too late

5:13 am

o-o, what you have said relates to my journey with the pain meds. a better life is certainly ahead, but i have to reach it with the aid of these meds. and i have to decide what is achievable and in what way. hard decision when pain clouds your decision.

5:13 am

No, a better life is never too late

5:13 am

it is never too late to strive for a better life, pug. Some dreams may be impossible to attain, but others won't be.

5:14 am

I dont know guys, age and time takes alot away

5:14 am

exactly, rose. Just remember that severe pain in itself is an energy eater and will hamper your healing. Taking meds to keep the pain manageable is the right decision.

5:15 am

inertia takes more away, pug. Forget age and time past. Find out what you really want at this point in your life and go for it.

5:15 am

Would feeling better about yourself make your life more meaningful, Pug?

5:16 am

I have to think over that OO

5:16 am

ok, with those great quotes and thoughts I bid you goodbye for today. *hugs* to you all, may you have a blessed day and a peaceful night, all.

5:16 am

Be well

5:17 am

i am so looking forward to a life with minimal pain meds. i realise some meds will still be necessary.

5:17 am

sprite..xoxox sweetie.

5:17 am

bye Sprite, hope that flu leaves very soon--hugs

5:17 am

you will get there, rose. *poof*

5:18 am

yes you will Rose--just give yourself time

5:19 am

Pug, you call yourself names you would never think of calling others. That is very telling.

5:20 am

never thought of it like that OO

5:20 am

Others do not see you as you see yourself. We have no reason to lie to you.

5:21 am

I dont know how to stop that, it just comes out

5:22 am

You have to do some post comment remediation .... like fixing the the distortions to more accurately reflect reality

5:23 am

Vigilance is a key

5:23 am

well OO here awhile back you pictured yourself as a wallflower and I picture myself as the glue behind the wall paper

5:23 am

nearly 10:30pm he4. i think i had better head for my pillows. xoxox to you both.

5:23 am

night Dearest Rose--hugs and byes

5:23 am

Yes, I am a hypocrite at times

5:24 am

Be well, rose

5:24 am

I got to look up that v word

5:25 am

watchfulness: the condition of being watchful and alert, especially to danger

5:26 am

to become more aware of what you tell yourself.

5:26 am

are you speaking of within myseld

5:27 am

thats easier said then done but I will try to put that into use

5:28 am

No one said it is easy ... the work of having a better life is difficult

5:29 am

You will not know how much you might accomplish unless you try.

5:29 am

is it hard for you OO? You live by yourself, is it easier

5:30 am

I promise I will try OO

5:33 am

Good. I have been told by professionals I may never get better ... blah blah blah ... Even so, as the old quote goes, "If it is to be, it is up to me."

5:35 am

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. ~Confucius

5:36 am

do YOU feel better OO? Are you able to make changes for yourself

5:38 am

I think in terms of functionality. Words like happier or healed are slippery things. I seek to do what I may to function at a higher level. My level of functionality fluctuates .... on the whole, however, I am doing better.

5:40 am

then you have made progress and you knowing what you know about yourself has to be forward progress too.

5:42 am

I was just wondering if living alone is easier to master things about ones self

5:42 am

The idea is to do something ... anything .... and succeed ... pick something you can succeed at ... than increase the difficulty ... maybe do something you have put off. Success breeds success. There will be bad times. There always will be. Just do not stop.

5:44 am

alright OO, Iam going to do that today. Iam going to figure out 1 thing I can do to better myself

5:44 am

You are in a much worse situation with an abusive husband ... being isolated is not a good way to live ... I have tried to get out more ... thus far without much success.

5:46 am

Ask yourself the following questions every day: What am I thankful for today? What did I learn today? Where did I do a good job? Who was I valuable to today? How did I take care of myself today?

5:47 am

OO, I know its bad(here) but I dont know how to really explain it) I hate hurting people and I feel sorry for him cause its a sickness and where would he go----he is not evil through and through---theres more to it then I know to put into words here

5:48 am

just coming here this am. hi all

5:48 am

pugs, dear, you need to think of yourself first for once.

5:49 am

pug ... you are a good person ... never forget that

5:49 am

it I a sickness and it is not your problem where he will go.

5:49 am

you sound like a people pleaser which I have been in the pat

5:49 am

forgive me if I am overstepping my bounds, pugs

5:49 am

in the past, even

5:50 am

HI peri

5:50 am

((((puglet))))

5:50 am

no no Peri--np to me what ever you wish to say

5:50 am

but deep inside pugs feels it is her problem. he is her family... i felt the same way with my son..

5:50 am

I am so tired of not being able to breathe when I sleep at night, stuffy, runny nose. but not the flu this time

5:51 am

and good morning....

5:51 am

Hi Ivesy

5:51 am

oh no Peri, not a reset on the flu :(

5:52 am

thanks OO--I will answer those Questions each day

5:52 am

I was fine for about a week. then post nasal drip, cough, hoarseness and stuffy, runny nose but not the flu.

5:52 am

I rarely get sick

5:53 am

i am always stuffed up at nite peri, but i smoke.. i think that is my problem..well one of them lol

5:53 am

Its kind of like that Ivesy---His problem has deaden my feelings towards him but I still wouldnt like to see him out in the cold so to say

5:54 am

Poor Sprite has the flu now too

5:54 am

oh pugs. i know. i couldnt let my son be out in the cold. i always made his addiction my problem.

5:57 am

Peri, they are saying some flus are attacking the breathing

6:00 am

Iam going to leave now so OO, thank you for all your words and bye everyone--Hope Peri and Ivesy you get breathing and feeling better.

6:01 am

Be well, pugs.

6:41 am

and now it is time for crossy's quote of the day!

6:41 am

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered. "Yes, Piglet?" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you.” - A.A. Milne

7:00 am

Don't we all wish we had a creepy friend like that...

7:08 am

good thing is that if he pisses you off enough, you can have him with your eggs tomorrow

7:12 am

sigh..now I have to find another ispirational quote since we are now munching on rashers of piglet with our morning eggs and home fries;(

7:25 am

tadone!! finito!! fun friendly grid.

7:31 am

yaa for lbd thought I was just drifting alone in here:))

7:42 am

and now I must get busy again, decluttering the upstairs. what a nightmare! although I've found some interesting artifacts...an ancient cell phone with power cord! it's about the size of a brick.

7:44 am

*poof*

7:45 am

and now it is time for crossy's haiku of the day!!

7:45 am

Alone i babble and the grid awakens, restless words hide in plain sight, tumbleweeds....

7:48 am

love it crossy

7:48 am

:)

7:50 am

morning all- poppng in and out getting ready for the football games this afternoon- GO PATS!!

7:50 am

7:54 am

i love hockey as well- grew up in Michigan playing it with my neighbors lol

7:55 am

morning all

7:55 am

7:56 am

Hi crossy, loved your haiku

7:57 am

ty annie

7:57 am

it is the first one I have ever done:)

7:57 am

as you may know,ole crossy is not a big fan of rigid structure:))

7:58 am

i just went down the chat and saw that- very good crossy- per usual :-) you seem to be quite the talented fellow

7:58 am

well done

7:58 am

picture wolvie slapping her palm to her face and saying- you are kidding me lol

7:59 am

that is why I am dying in this math class. in math, there is only one correct andswer but in my beloved English, there are a million ways to do something. Told the math teacher on Friday that she was stifling my creative expression:))

7:59 am

answer

8:00 am

well not dying, 91 % is not exactly dying:)

8:10 am

lol- back inmy college days- 3rd year calc i believe , we had this one guy that was super smart- but we couldnever understand his equations- so our saying for him was Andys brain plus gobble de gook - gets the right answer. :D

8:10 am

91% is great!!

8:10 am

THERE WE GO. after AMOST 5 YEARS OF THE SAME PROFILE INFO, I THINK IT WAS HIGH TIME TO CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT!.

8:11 am

oops ,sorry caps\

8:11 am

lol- cool

8:11 am

second part of course was practical application stuff,so I am gaining ground,wolvie

8:11 am

nice! and i love that quote from MLK- so true

8:12 am

:)

8:13 am

back into the kitchen for a bit- back soon

8:16 am

I was here, now I'm not...pfft!

8:17 am

and she is gone, like the wind in the grass...

8:20 am

as soon as Aloy gets a fresh cuppa and a bagel, she will join you all

8:24 am

hi again all :-)

8:24 am

crossie. I've copied down your poem. And of course the piglet uote is profound--as the best things for children have profundity hidden in them.

8:26 am

I enjoy stubleupon website as it show me many new things and ideas and web sites I would otherwise have not found/looked for on my own. One thing I notice with the U.S sites there are a a lot of "prepper" sites popping up with lists of what to stash away if you thing the govt. will crumble or a zombie apocolypse is just around the corner. This is fine, but there is one thing on many of these lists that drives me round the bend and this is fossil fuel hoarding!!!. Not only is this highly dangerous, but as someone who was in the petroleum business for 30 years, I am here to tell any prepper some valuable info. ready for it? .GASOLINE HAS A SHELF LIFE! gasoline,at best will last 3-4 months in a sealed ,full container. this will prevent condensation, however, gasoline breaks down into what almost looks like a light maple syrup consistency, so please, do not store gasoline. If you must, store diesel instead and happy hunkering down to you all!

8:27 am

indeed. we can learn a lot from our children,RB

8:27 am

where ws the mlk quote? Just read that a Wis teacher refused an award from Paul Ryan in the middle of the MLK celebration--where Paul Ryan is against all MLK's principles. and shouldn't have even been there--purely for political gain. He comes from my daughters town. I mourn for wisconsin.--my stte, state of the LaFolletts.

8:27 am

what is MLK??

8:28 am

ty for the info crossy :-)

8:28 am

lol crossy- Martin luther king- the quoteon your profile

8:29 am

like it wolvie? it is like many of Mr. Kings quotes in that is is truth unvarnished

8:29 am

yep- i told you so a bit ago :D

8:29 am

ahh ok.it is in my profile,RB

8:30 am

I am obviously not tracking well today,hailu or no:)

8:31 am

do not know who this Paul Ryan is, but there are not many who can argue with much of Mr. Kings wisdom

8:32 am

ok I see the MLK quote, it's on your new profile, Crossie. Thanks--it is SO TRUE. The older I get though the more I speak out. Maybe it helps. Helps me, at least.

8:33 am

lol, RB. feel free to speak out. My beloved better half says my tongue shouled be hinged in the middle so it can flap on both ends

8:34 am

no bagels to be found, so.. toasted Eng. muffin with avocado schmeer.. passes fresh coffee around

8:34 am

it is the perils of back to back English classes

8:34 am

should*

8:34 am

Paul Ryan is a senaator or congressman from Wis, I know his teadhers--from his grade and h.s. he's an arrogant bastard and a lacky of the 1 per cent. I know we seldon m talk politics on babble--we do hear a lot about people's health, and that is okay.

8:35 am

RB, what is the difference between a politician and a trampoline?... You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.;))

8:35 am

I like what I hea abt your better half. Seems like she can handle your nonsense.

8:36 am

lol, after 22 years she is an expert at it

8:38 am

except u you don't talk nonsense--I tune in to get your quotes, etc. I lke the tramoline one--Paul Ryan and Sfott Walker are tramping with shoes all over wisconsin--teachers and education are prime targets. We are a country that is downgrading education. Bush bragged about his poor grades, and that he was with a lot of phds once, but he hapened to be president and they didn't.

8:40 am

well, enough venom. someone last night out of the blue said he'd build me a "Little bookhouse"--you know about them? I will stand it in my yard, next to the poverty school I live next to. Here, have a free book.

8:41 am

:( we are fortunate in that we are coming out of the educational dark ages of rote learning and memorization and disgorging facts upon command and calling it good. We now have programs that cater more to the individual and the way and pace at which they learn. As the man said "If we gauged the intelligence of a fish on its ability to ride a bicycle, we would all fail as teachers"

8:42 am

little bookhouse?

8:42 am

taking a break- back later- la poof!

8:42 am

is that like those free mini-lending libraries that are in many euro cities now?

8:43 am

y4es. WE are going down hill. The university I helped found has now got all the flaws in full swing that we started out by eliminating. It's hard to see it happen. The whole writing program I built up is in shatters. That would take an essay I won't put on here.

8:43 am

:((

8:45 am

easy peasy grid today.. watch out for the marine worm; it is hiding. Happy Babbling all, poof

8:45 am

it is the human condition. You start them on the right path and they promise to stich to the high road and as time goes on it becomes a race to see who can make the biggest golden paracute for their own agendas

8:45 am

stick

8:45 am

these are little houses on poles. look 'em up on the web. I saw them all over Minneapolis and Madison--now 7 cities have them--I would guess Europe too. They aren't lending libraries, they are trading libraries--you take a book, leave a book. My granddaughte said, what it someone takes ALL the books and doesn't leave any? I said fine, then we just restofk.

8:46 am

restock

8:47 am

yes, that is what I am talking about RB. here is is starting as well. Bell Canada has offered up many of the old full size phone booths that they started pulling off the streets in the 80,s for this purpose

8:48 am

they put shelves in it and it is ready to go

8:49 am

and it is an amazing idea all around

8:50 am

I just heard last night that there are such sort of boxes available--maybe phone booth boxes--I will go look. I have ploenty of books of my own to cull, but that takes time and thought and you start reading something--what I did yesterday was go to the library sale of paperbacks each 50 cents and get twenty assorted, to start my little book house. Alas, I found some I want to read tho I was in and out of the libr in 10 minutes, elbowing through the crwod

8:52 am

i want TWO--a regular height for adults, and a lower down one for kids w that I will stock with kids books.

8:52 am

Do not need it here however. 6 years ago or so when our old library was falling down, the township proposed a 5 million dollar library that would not only hold books for public use,but safely store all the town historical record and other old document as well as our local coast guard detachment and have a green roof that people could relax on in the summer with a book in and a arbouredum all around them. Full funding was raised in less than 2 months. Took all summer on the other hand to raise 10 mil for the local hospital. we love our books;)

8:53 am

it is a grand idea RB

8:54 am

I will come visit your town crossie when I finish my magnum opus unless it finishes me first. I will expect to throw a sleeping bag on your floor--I still live like a graduate student.

8:56 am

there is always room for you RB

8:56 am

anyway, off to the uu's this morning. The "semon" is on Kurt Vonnegut!

8:56 am

lol, love Kurts quotes!

8:56 am

he was terrified that the students he was teaching would run the world someday

8:57 am

sermon, though semen might do as well--life giving--it will be on dresden and other things vonnegut wrote and lived

8:59 am

Do you know God Bless You Mr Rosewater? I often quote a line p of Mr. R's near the end--he's watching Aida and he calls out to the singers in the tomb, Z"You'll last longer oif you don't sing!"

9:00 am

Well I better get poinking and leave the chat box to others.

9:00 am

do not know it,but it reminds me of the advice of not thrashing around if you should fall in quicksand:)

9:01 am

nice chatting with you RB. have a great day

9:03 am

well after Vonnegut I'm going to a memorial ceremony for a colleague's mother I liked--the mother--the colleague has double crossed me four or five times but I will go honor her mother. The rest of the day should be okay. See John Kleese in Clocktime if you get movies--my daughter has my netflix queue--it is roll on the floor funny.

9:04 am

right now for Netflix, I am fully engrossed in the prison break series

9:08 am

well,must get into the kitchen and rattle some pans. bbs...poink!

9:58 am

RB are you still here?

9:58 am

Paul Ryan is the worst!!!!!

9:58 am

hiya Rubes. Just me.

9:58 am

{{hego}} you're quite a lot!

9:59 am

9:59 am

How ya doing?

10:00 am

feeling moreoptimistic atm

10:00 am

that's good

10:00 am

crossy is back :)) ((ruby))

10:00 am

and the winter is surprisingly mild and pleasant. Mostly hovering around 40F with very little precipitation. We are very lucky

10:01 am

hi Crossy

10:01 am

howdy hego:))

10:01 am

the irises have started, however, which does not bode so well for flowers later on

10:01 am

too early?

10:01 am

we are still a polar wasteland as far as green going things go. at least till end of march anyways:(

10:02 am

green growing*

10:02 am

they have leaves about 3 inches tall and the inevitable frost will probably do them in. Last year, Ruffie sawed off all of them, so I've yet to see them flower

10:03 am

uh oh, thumper (and I don't mean the rabbit) is stmping around

10:03 am

bad doggie

10:03 am

see you later, kids

10:03 am

aside from that, he is the best chow I've ever known and the most handsome

10:04 am

bye Ruby

10:04 am

bye hego

10:05 am

hego, rubyfoo--just closing down this machine and see your remarks--glad hate for the arrogant Paul Ryan is spreading--NJ might get riod of a bad governor--see this week's New Yorker cover where he's in diapers bouncing a ball on an empty bridge while vehicles stand six deep behind him? A man who will do that for SPITE. Closing down and poink. I love Crossie's word.

10:05 am

bye RB

10:10 am

Have any of you ever used Driver Turbo?

10:10 am

sorry, have never heard of it

10:12 am

if I want to update any of my drivers, i always go to the source site of the software in question. tis always easier

10:12 am

Anyone else?

10:13 am

unless it is a dell product.then it is a PITA all the way round:)

10:13 am

i used to have a Dell computer

10:15 am

right now I am using a very old HP workstation computer that I gutted and rebuilt. was quite a bit of fun and has a funky retro look to it

10:15 am

cool cross

10:15 am

i have an HP

10:16 am

though I can tell you, this is the first time this old girl has ever had 4 gig of cpu chip and 4 gig of ddr2 ram under the hood lol

10:16 am

haha lol

10:16 am

thing is a time warp out of 1989, externally

10:16 am

i am trying to fix my computer for FREE and i dont know what to use or not use in order to do so

10:17 am

I even left the old floppy drive in for chuckles

10:17 am

wish I was there for you MLF

10:17 am

what are its problems foirst of all?

10:17 am

me too cross

10:17 am

first

10:18 am

ineed to fix errors and get my missing drivers back. i was hacked on fb

10:18 am

nbt

10:19 am

ahh ok, first you want to open up the case,remove the hard drive, go to computer store, spend 30 dollars on good used 400 gig hard drive ,take it home and re-install win 7. saves a lot of grief. you can turn the corrupted one into a external usb storage drive and retrieve your old info and scrub it at your leisure

10:19 am

what are the stats for the 8?

10:20 am

or 8/45

10:20 am

cross i need to do something here I can't spend any money i want to fix this for FREE

10:20 am

But good idea anyway:)

10:20 am

I have 2 left. The 1st 2 tr's. Help, please?

10:20 am

oh duhh ty gramma

10:21 am

nbt and nbs

10:21 am

ok,then you want to go to www.oldversion.com and load free copies of ad-aware and avg anti virus

10:21 am

run them both-twice

10:21 am

then use system restore to go back to a date just before you were corruped

10:22 am

i have a virus program already avg is not free for good and i dont remember about ad aware but i used to use both

10:22 am

corrupted

10:22 am

that site is freeware version..it is free

10:22 am

well,start with system restore

10:22 am

the computer would let me go back but i am concerned about getting rehacked

10:22 am

NM I got them. Clues, anyone?

10:23 am

that is the chance we all take on internet.if you know the site that hacked you, avoid it. I wipe this system clean at least once every 3 months

10:23 am

cross i tried avg a few months ago NO FREE version accept for a month i have only found on e which is FREE that i am currently using. AVG i had to reinstall every two yrs originally

10:24 am

i dont use facebook as much since

10:24 am

Okay then, enjoy your day. See ya.

10:24 am

ok,well we will not debate it.stay with the one you have::))

10:25 am

cross lol i have no choice id ont want to reinstall a virus program each time its annoying

10:25 am

FB is turning into a nightmare. I have not used it on this new build once and am much more stable in all programs

10:25 am

Thank so much for the help though do appreciate it:)

10:25 am

i am trying lol

10:25 am

Yes fb is a breeder for hackers and viruses

10:26 am

it has made my compure VERY lousd

10:26 am

loud

10:26 am

ok,there is a freeware program called killdisk. it wipes the drive military style 7 times. use it and reinstall windows on original drive. it is the final, be all,end all solution

10:27 am

that sounds awesome but time consuming

10:27 am

problem solved

10:27 am

on a nice full big hard drive it will take 4-6 hours

10:27 am

i dont want to "start over" per say

10:27 am

uggh no thanks

10:28 am

ahh,so now we are narrowing your options

10:28 am

it is a case of you cannot have it all. you must choose the perils vs how much work you want to do

10:28 am

i assumed that

10:28 am

iwant something free and fast

10:29 am

ok,since you are staying with your current anti-virus and you want the original hard drive and you do not want to start from scratch, that leaves system restore. go back to just before the issues began and count yourself lucky you are only losing a week or 2

10:30 am

lol gee thanks

10:30 am

sorry,there is no perfect answer

10:30 am

yeah too easy right?

10:30 am

you are infected and there are only so many ways to get rid of it gratis

10:31 am

believe me ,i know.i build these things for chuckles

10:31 am

mlfan, i hve free avg.. i never pay for it

10:31 am

sounds like you have a ball lol

10:31 am

My favorite movie robot is in the grid....

10:31 am

as do i, ivesy,but i was not going to belabor the point

10:32 am

ivesy interesting when i last tried it it was only free for a month. Do you have to reinstall it?

10:32 am

:)

10:32 am

i have free avg,ad aware and spybot s+d

10:32 am

Mine wwas originally free for only 2 yrs even though it said it was FREE

10:32 am

i have avg and spybot.. how is the ad aware?

10:32 am

on my other computer it is free and has been for 5 years and counting:)))

10:33 am

i used to use ad aware not sure why i dont anymore possibly same situation but i loved it

10:33 am

if you have one,do not use the other,ivesy. spybot and ad-aware do not play well together

10:33 am

cross i even went to the pages the different ones come from ie their own

10:33 am

crossy loves oldversion.com

10:34 am

ok thanks crossy , good to know

10:34 am

indeed ivesy.ad -aware will mark spybot as a virus and visa versa:))

10:35 am

that is true

10:35 am

have had these puter about 5 yrs.. avg has been free ... once they tried saying i had to pay. called customer service . she led me to free download site

10:35 am

wight now i use a security comb of ad-aware,avg anti-virus and C-Cleaner and pc decrapifier

10:35 am

right

10:35 am

combo

10:36 am

Just throwing out another option. My IT guy recommends Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free.

10:36 am

another good option, molly

10:36 am

i like cc cleaner.. havent tried the advance part yet, not sure what i should remove ...and what i should keep.. lol

10:37 am

well,if you do not know what it is and cannot id it at all leave it be:))

10:37 am

winzip driver updater?

10:37 am

yes . i will ty ..

10:37 am

that goes with regediting as well:)

10:38 am

Good morning Babblers. Could someone give me a link to download Lickety? I got a new computer and don't have the link. thanks...Carolyn

10:38 am

just reload winzip and WinRAR from oldversion.com MLF. you will get the driver along with it

10:38 am

ivesy i tried to install that again a few yrs ago it wouldnt let me as it said if i tried i would get a virus

10:39 am

and it should delete the old version,or just delete them both before you start loading new one

10:39 am

its a program to fix and get my drivers back

10:39 am

you are in for a long haul, MLF if you are going to scrub your computer one program at a time:((

10:40 am

i dont even know if i have winzip whatever it is

10:40 am

winzip is a file compession program

10:40 am

Not trying to do that i want to fix errors and get my drivers back all at once

10:40 am

compression/decompression

10:40 am

yes i know what it is cross i would assume i have winzip somewhere lol

10:41 am

well , you have my thoughts on it MLF,will not hammer you with them. if you need any other help,just hollar

10:41 am

Link to Babble Expert: http://tinyurl.com/asayuk8

10:41 am

its not fixed yet cross lol

10:42 am

i would just sys restore..really

10:42 am

unless you downloaded critical irreplaceable files in last week or two:))

10:42 am

hi everyone

10:43 am

hi pink

10:43 am

and if you did, you could pull them,put them on a flash key then sys resotre

10:43 am

howdy pink

10:43 am

why would that make a difference because it cant be changed?

10:43 am

hi mlf and cross nice to see you

10:44 am

what cannot be changed??

10:44 am

you lost me,MLF

10:45 am

its not a system restore its just taking me back to where i was as it thinks i lost connection or something? The rest of the things wrong with my computer are related to that as well hence why i am not doing it. If i were to do that i would probably get hacked again as its like i went back before it happened i woould think

10:45 am

you mentioend downloaded critical irreplacable files

10:45 am

friends may I bother u please for the or 8 ineed a clue

10:46 am

sigh..well,play it how you like. but i keep erasing till i get back before the problem,then aboid the sites(programs) that caused it in the first place

10:46 am

pink do you have or 7?

10:46 am

no, because viruses typically do not infest files anymore. Your work files and archives downloaded are usually safe. Its the system tself that gets infected. Typically using jscripts and such to re-infect it if you manage to nail part of it.

10:46 am

it builds off the or 5/12, pink....

10:46 am

no mlf

10:46 am

plural of or7, someone who shops on line

10:46 am

or 5/12...build off that

10:46 am

ty all see it now yikes

10:47 am

hence why i wipe it clean and start with a new slate and pick at the old drive at my leisure, brandyjack

10:47 am

less stress that way:))

10:47 am

hi brandy, my java is messed up and i am missing drivers

10:48 am

but MLF wants to do it a certain way

10:48 am

very iteresting site on our library site , on fb. 25 big novels that you mite want to read.. each one has at least 800 pages

10:48 am

I may have to avoid fb even though so much crap uis probably in anyone's system who uses it

10:48 am

same here. The amount of time it takes to fix it is not worth it since you can never be sure you actually did fix it. Format C: fixes all ills.

10:48 am

my drive is FB free and it is going to stay that way on this build;))

10:48 am

cross NO not a certain way the only way i know who in order to do it safely and for FREE

10:48 am

indeed brandyjack

10:48 am

I wish I was wise enough to know computer stuff lol

10:49 am

moving on...

10:49 am

lol cross congrats

10:49 am

how do u perform format c

10:50 am

brandy ubut i need to fix it regardless of any webpage i still need all my drivers and i as my earch engine i have BING and not my homepage I NEED to fix my computer

10:50 am

i have a drive in that condition right now sitting beside me. you can buy usb "cages" for your old corrupted internal drives,take yer time cleanignthen up and you have a nice storage when doone

10:51 am

pink i am not as wise as i would like to be though:)

10:51 am

i have helped as i could.sorry, MLF

10:51 am

I am in awe of computer know how

10:51 am

and downloading Java doesn't work? I think I have that problem too. Just not sure which machine has the problem. I can download and install, says its ok, but then later comes up and says i need to download again. I just ignore it now. Probably should rebuild the system, but its working otherwise and i am huge procrastinator.....

10:51 am

cross why dont you use that computer that is right next to you?

10:51 am

cross you mstill in school?

10:51 am

??

10:52 am

there is no computer next to me, just a drive in a usb drive cage i am cleaning up

10:52 am

brandy it tells me i need to configure it.

10:52 am

ohh i see cross

10:52 am

yes indeed,pink 1 more week of math and it is back to English!! yaa!

10:52 am

that's bogus. Java doesn't need configuring.

10:52 am

awesome you are moving right along yeah

10:53 am

back

10:53 am

it is a long process,pink,but i am enjoying myself:)

10:53 am

I used to love school lol just can not do a doctorate ugh

10:53 am

wb (9ruby))

10:53 am

hi ruby

10:53 am

i had trouble when i updated java....couldn't play a favorite online game....ended up getting rid of java and downloading the old version....works fine!

10:53 am

enable java content in the browser ?

10:54 am

once again people.... www.oldversion.com

10:54 am

the box is unchecked

10:54 am

yes, thanks crossy...

10:54 am

lol

10:54 am

pen have you had to update it yet?

10:55 am

if i had a dime for ever time i have heard 'well i reinstalled a previous version and now it is fine" i would be a rich man

10:55 am

or do you avoid that?

10:55 am

really cross why?

10:56 am

because,with older version,all the bugs have been worked out,all the patches and fixes are already in place. new software has a nasty habit of being shipped 80% done and patched later

10:56 am

i have not had to update it, but my needs are simple....when i play a game at the NY Times website, it asks me if I want to run it "this time" and I say yes....that's the only thing that has happened...

10:56 am

morning all :)

10:56 am

howdy,rows

10:56 am

I have a stupid question" I finally have a decent scanner/copier and bought photo quality paper but,unthinkingly bought a small size paper. When I position it in the machine, should it be centered or in a corner?

10:56 am

hi rows

10:56 am

morning....

10:57 am

centred

10:57 am

in a copier,in the corner in a scanner

10:57 am

hello pink and rows and penquis and everybdy

10:57 am

hey rows are u on a scrabble site called wordbiz? there is a rows there I play

10:57 am

hi ruby...

10:58 am

it's a lovely machine, but I had to go back to the store to find out where the in was.

10:58 am

ink*

11:00 am

photo quality paper is $$$$ do not use it much, though i have considered investing in a poster sized copier so i can limited print of some of my best photos,but it is a big investment

11:01 am

I wanted to make some decent prints of my dog pictures to send to friends and frame for old Burt

11:02 am

very nice:))

11:02 am

some of the pix are really nice and I'll send some to Annie's Bobby, too

11:04 am

MLF, I am in the same boat as you apparently. MIcrosoft put out a bulletin a year ago warning of bogus Java updates. It looks like we both caught one. Trying to remove all Java per Oracle instructions I am getting numerous prompts to 'Activate Java 7 U.' There should be a number after the U. Pretty good indication I cought something. Like I don't have better ways to blow a Sunday afternoon.....

11:05 am

Go Denver! Send the Pats crying in beer!

12:56 pm

i resent that remark!!

12:56 pm

:-D

12:56 pm

:oP

12:57 pm

MOlly here?

12:58 pm

was earlier...

12:58 pm

<--actually wants both teams to win.. but slightly prefers Peyton

12:59 pm

i like peyton....and i think the broncos should win...but i will be rooting for my patriots!...

12:59 pm

i just hope it

12:59 pm

is a good game

1:00 pm

believe me it will be

1:00 pm

Cos?

1:01 pm

what about the other game, ru?

1:01 pm

ru?

1:02 pm

The other game is going to be monumental. it will likely be the best game of the year

1:02 pm

I was wondering Cos.. if Denver is really excited about this game or is everyone too stoned to care ?

1:02 pm

Even *I* am watching the game. That says a lot.

1:02 pm

my money is on seattle

1:02 pm

lol

1:02 pm

lol both maybe

1:03 pm

49ers don't seem to be able to play in that stadium

1:03 pm

*you can move OUT of san Francisco now KJE*

1:03 pm

it will be embarrassing if Seattle does NOT win...

1:03 pm

No one is here is too stoned to care, trust me ;) Go Broncos!

1:03 pm

I will never be a 49ers fan... I grew up in Dallas

1:03 pm

*kisses bicep for good measure*

1:04 pm

i will be rooting for SF...

1:04 pm

Dream on kje.. Romo will never take that team anywhere

1:04 pm

I'll root for SF, but won't matter... they seem jinxed in that stadium

1:04 pm

Cad's in Colorado too?

1:05 pm

It is loud.. I've been there for a game BEFORE the Hawks were as great a team as they are now.. and it is deafening

1:05 pm

I didn't say I was a cowboys fan... I hate them (have since idiot JJ bought them)

1:05 pm

Its 60 and gorgeous in Colorado. Suns out. Windows open. Should be a good time for game goers. One of my co-workers is at the game.

1:06 pm

*looks at bread to see which side is buttered for KJE*

1:06 pm

but still, anti 49ers is inbred

1:06 pm

Jerry Jones (going on record now) is an idiot

1:06 pm

*Sits down at computer wearing a Broncos jersey and sipping an ice cold Coors*

1:06 pm

a rich idiot.. which doesn't compute

1:07 pm

Molly! Following is back tonight!

1:07 pm

he really is... then the icing on the cake for me, was when they voted to increase taxes to pay for the stadium, at the same time they voted against teacher pay increases and healthcare... socialism is only acceptable when applied to football ; )

1:08 pm

Thanks Cos, I didn't know that.

1:08 pm

in Texas Football is everything kje over all else

1:08 pm

there are lots of rich idiots... just remember the last presidential election for starters (Cain)

1:09 pm

I'd love to be a rich idiot

1:10 pm

i could do rich....my character is already formed...no risks... ;o)

1:10 pm

I will do u one better Kje. Mitt.

1:10 pm

Yes, I'm in CO - up in the Loveland/Ft Collins area.

1:10 pm

private jet, great wine, personal chef, army of french maids, ah...

1:11 pm

Mitt wins at the buzzer !! WTG Cos

1:11 pm

while I don't agree with many of Mitt's positions, he is hardly an idiot...

1:11 pm

I politely disagree kje

1:12 pm

anyone who would strap their dog to the roof of their car on a family vacation qualifies as an absolute dumbshit

1:13 pm

running to liquor store quick for the game. brb in 15

1:14 pm

and mormon is only one letter from being correct for him

1:14 pm

then we all qualify - we've all done stupid things...

1:14 pm

<---has never, ever done anything stupid

1:15 pm

:D

1:15 pm

I imagine Colorado liquor stores are doing a booming business today.

1:15 pm

that would be true everywhere, Molly - lots of people will be watching those games

1:15 pm

I think they should give Brady a joint before the game

1:16 pm

I bought a lovely aged calvados for the game

1:16 pm

I don't think Giselle lets him do such things. Short leash.

1:16 pm

* i'd get on a short leash for GIselle too*

1:17 pm

and a choke collar for that matter

1:18 pm

spred

1:18 pm

almost cad :D

1:19 pm

Opps, sorry, anyway - company arriving, getting close to game time. OMAHA! Go Broncos!!

1:19 pm

LOL Cad

1:19 pm

GO PATS!!

1:19 pm

sorry......

1:20 pm

YES!

1:20 pm

:D

1:21 pm

I think if the Niners lose today.. someone call me a medic.. i'll be in a coma

1:21 pm

hego...i was reading your profile....there is an inn here that offers trips to Italy, France and Spain....you stay with a small group in a villa, visit all the foodie related places in the area and have a gourmet meal in the evening which you can help prepare ...or not...

1:21 pm

other than KJE :D

1:21 pm

I'll get the defibrillator

1:21 pm

I want the Niners to lose. Their fans on FB are the 2nd most obnoxious.. after GB

he says he has a brain tumor but he has no medical evidence for it

2:02 pm

2:03 pm

i believe that, lol...

2:03 pm

agree Ru.

2:04 pm

My nose is still stuffed up. I sure wish I could taste the food I eat.

2:04 pm

I read the book on the murders and it is unbelievable he got off

2:04 pm

He needs to be locked up in a room with ron goldman's father armed. alone. in the dark.

2:04 pm

they should make him live with the kardashians to pay back society

2:04 pm

haha ruru

2:04 pm

Uh oh, Peri off her food is not a happy Peri.

2:04 pm

Marcia Clark's book on it is excellent.

2:05 pm

I had the flu then a short break and now a cold.

2:05 pm

good sentence Ru

2:05 pm

sorry to hear Peri.

2:05 pm

I will survive :)

2:05 pm

It is his fault the Kardashians are on TV

2:05 pm

and so it begins.

2:06 pm

ok.. got to watch the game.. good luck everyone

2:06 pm

poofies

2:06 pm

have fun!!

2:08 pm

(go pats!) hey all

2:08 pm

Hiya Stid!!!

2:09 pm

No seahawks for you?

2:09 pm

hawks aren't playing yet! LOL

2:10 pm

Must go. Bye All!

2:10 pm

And I think they will stand a better chance against the pats than the broncos, to be honest. I don't usually care about football, but it would be so nice for my kiddos at school!

2:10 pm

later hego

2:10 pm

hi stid. what is that in your icon?

2:10 pm

I think it's a moon.

2:10 pm

ok

2:11 pm

I can't remember, I changed it in the Spring.

2:11 pm

how are you, aside from all the viruses? (I read the chog when I got in)

2:11 pm

fine otherwise

2:12 pm

good to hear.

2:12 pm

I love pears. JUst ate one and could not taste a thing :(

2:12 pm

how are you stiddy?

2:13 pm

oh, that is disappointing. Had a similar experience in November after I burned my tongue on coffee...

2:13 pm

tr6 pls

2:13 pm

I am well, peri -- stressed out for some reason this weekend over school things (no purpose to it, just weirded out) -- but otherwise there is progress on the house, and Tom assures me we have the money to finish it.

2:13 pm

only just got in... tr 6, eh?

2:14 pm

that is good news about the house

2:15 pm

yes, I was worried. Seems the delays (weather-related) and some of the things we needed to do because of the regulations were more money than we expected. But we'll make it.

2:15 pm

got it, peri -- Latin for 3 (alternate spelling) + something you fry bacon in

2:16 pm

ty ty stid

2:16 pm

2:19 pm

YAY peri!!! have a great afternoon

2:20 pm

there's a bridge in nyc called Throgs Neck Bridge, and when I was a kid, I always would ask my parents what a Throg was...but according to enable, it's nothing.

2:20 pm

:-) probably a name, harry... how are you?

2:20 pm

hi stid! ok

2:22 pm

oooh. now I have all the Ws. This is a reasonable grid so far

2:23 pm

hi folks

2:23 pm

hi welki

2:23 pm

now i'm curious about the bridge, harry - grew up in brooklyn/queens (googling now)

2:23 pm

hey welki! unfrozen yet?

2:24 pm

aah - we didn't have wiki back then, never thought of finding out :)

2:24 pm

and it wasn't in our edition of britannica

2:25 pm

uh oh

2:25 pm

both our tv has the game frozen

2:25 pm

wow - was a neighborhood in the bronx and the bridge was built by robert moses, same one the state park was named for

2:25 pm

games moveing, the bronco coach is hollering, and the players are standing around, arms akimbo

2:25 pm

3rd and goal, cos

2:26 pm

lol....tv ok here...

2:26 pm

still lots of snow/ice on the roads, but thawing out, stid

2:26 pm

overthrew it.

2:26 pm

kick

2:26 pm

is...

2:26 pm

good

2:26 pm

robert moses was the cause of many of the highways in the south bronx - many people blame him for the deterioration of the borough, all those neighborhoods cut in half by highways

2:26 pm

denver field goal, cos

2:26 pm

0 and 3, Pats get possession

2:26 pm

Fg denver

2:27 pm

commercial time... :-D hey meliae!

2:27 pm

always someone to blame, eh?

2:27 pm

I'm so sick of boston sports. oof - gotta help kid make a birthday card.

2:27 pm

Hello all I am playing on my kindle so miss a lot of the chog

2:27 pm

have fun, harry -- sounds like more fun than football!

2:27 pm

still frozen.. and the scroll is now up saying "santa claus and his elves are waiting for your calls" and now its saying theres a signal problem

2:28 pm

??? still commercial here. dumb car things

2:28 pm

time to look for a live feed, cos

2:28 pm

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!. As stupid as this sounds, it is the truth. Famous hand bag maker , Louis Vuitton burns all their unsold hand bags at the end of each year so as to not be stuck putting them on sale and thus devaluating the brand. Heaven help us the 99% will ever get their hands on them eh?

2:28 pm

Got help on facebook to get here no expert but at leadt I can play

2:28 pm

showing pics of past games now, in the snow, in the rain, in the paper falling from the sky

2:29 pm

ok signals back

2:29 pm

wow, cross. that's terrible! Far better to make just the amount they will sell and not have to destroy resources.

2:29 pm

good!

2:29 pm

good, I am not good at play by play! :-D

2:29 pm

did you see that last play, cos? i've never seen anything like it!!

2:29 pm

lol thank u for trying stid!

2:30 pm

anyway, down to 40. Should get dressed before supper time (now past noon). Back later! ***scatters choclits and pretzels willy-nilly on way out***

2:30 pm

bye, stid

2:30 pm

Nope. local viewers here got our signal cut for a few minutes.

2:30 pm

just funning you, cos - there was nothing

2:30 pm

It amazes me the waste that stores do. They cut up shoes rather than donate them because they get more money bavk thst

2:30 pm

or offer a limited ,numbered amount and just drive the price right through the roof then the 1% will be content playing my stuff is worth more than your stuff game

2:31 pm

back that way than if they donate them

2:31 pm

Shoes that are returned by customers

2:32 pm

lol oh thanks a lot welki lol

2:33 pm

couldn't resist - apologies

2:33 pm

and I know from experience that they step over the regular p[eople and buy crap like this because I got to see (and hold) a putter with a solid gold head on it!! .just think of it, a putter with 22 oz of solid gold to knock the ole ball around the putting green

2:35 pm

that's more than half a pound more than my putter

2:35 pm

wouldn't make much difference to me, but to someone who golfs well, i think it would be substantial

2:35 pm

I want seahawks Pats for superbowl make it a true east versus west :)

2:36 pm

yup, the ownder said it transfers the power to the ball more directly because of the soft metal and as such needs a lighter touch and gives more control..if you can believe that crapola

2:36 pm

I want Denver and Seattle.. the two cities from the two states that have legal pot lol

2:37 pm

would seem that, because the gold is so soft, much of the impact would be absorbed by the metal, not transferred to the ball - weird. oh well, not like i'll be using one of them *lol*

2:37 pm

Lol cossy there are so many jokes about if that happens there will be a national junk food crisis

2:37 pm

nor I lol

I see that golf is in recent conversation and that's where we are headed right now! Hello everyone, and also bye for now..... it's a nice grid ! :-)

2:38 pm

hey, diane!! enjoy your game!

2:38 pm

Bbl tiny screen making me cross eyed :)

2:39 pm

i was into golfing for one year.live near a country club that let regular folks onto the sacred turf for sunset 9 hole special pricing. and i once packed a pool cue for those tough long putting green shots. was a riot

Thanks welki !!.... I'm just doing 9 holes for now...easing into it after not golfing since last March. I just load up on the tylenol and one aleve and get with it !! Bye now :-)

2:40 pm

that's all my arthritis can handle for now, too, diane

2:40 pm

i came to the conclusion that it was not for me on the day i hit the fairway with a 3 pack of brand new spalding balls and after 9 i have 30 balls in the side puch of my bag, because i would be damed if i was going to take a drop. i would play my second shot from ANYWHERE!.

2:41 pm

cliffs,swamps,tree limbs,anywhere

2:41 pm

crossy, i don't play well, but my husband loves it and it's a good way to spend the time when we're not fishing

My problem too, welki.... that and the fibromyalgia but it feels good to "move". I had a bad summer :-(

2:42 pm

he plays (during the summer) in the mornings and we'll play together late in the afternoon after it cools down

2:42 pm

woohoo finished the Rs

2:42 pm

i would of been better to pack my backpack and camping gear and pretend i was hiking the bruce trail

2:43 pm

i'm still amazed that i'm actually allowed to wave around a metal (or graphite) stick in public :)

Wally is a good golfer.... golfed his age two years ago ( 73) , and I golf good enough to enjoy it. ..... and gone, I am !! byeeee

2:43 pm

wowsa, diane! husband says come to pine lake and wally can be his yoda

2:44 pm

Ws gone!

2:47 pm

4:12 pm

bye all

4:12 pm

by lyn, hope it's cooler

4:14 pm

Blissfully cooler. Now I just have a face that looks like it is badly sunburned - very red and extremely dry. (and no, didn't go out except at sunrise and sundown for 4 days).

4:14 pm

do you have AC?

4:15 pm

hi all

4:15 pm

no

4:15 pm

hi jmc

4:15 pm

*packs up freezing air to send to lynxx*

4:15 pm

How do you bear it. Do you have ceiling fans?

4:15 pm

st 5/12?

4:16 pm

lots of portable fans. insulation. screens on outside windows

4:16 pm

wet your feet. . . cool feet will keep you cool. . . and splash your face as well. . .

4:17 pm

st5.12 abbrev for medical thingy - st*** throat

4:17 pm

I find that ceiling fans do a lot of good. But when it's really hot and humid, I retreat to AC

4:17 pm

yep - sat with feet in bowls of water

4:17 pm

ty lynxxx

4:17 pm

tyvm lyn

4:17 pm

i rarely use AC but I have it in my house for guests

4:17 pm

I can't imagine how my dogs would manage

4:18 pm

We sleep with AC if it's really bad.

4:18 pm

i just rinse them and let them air dry lynxxx and then rinse them again as needed. . .

4:18 pm

i only sleep in AC if required by the hotel/friends house. . . i don't like AC much at all. . .

4:19 pm

I am happy not to have AC - not good for the environemnt etc. We have a fair few electricity blackouts during the heatwave with people turning on ACs.

4:20 pm

i can imagine lynxxx . . .we have brown outs here in some summers. . .

4:20 pm

For the most part in the U.S. people have AC, even in Northerly states. If they can afford it.

4:20 pm

<===weird person

4:20 pm

Finding it hard to imagine extreme hot temperatures! We are all huddled around the fire trying to keep warm. If it gets any colder, we may have to light it!

4:21 pm

hehe

4:21 pm

lol Soodle

4:21 pm

Hi all :-)

4:21 pm

Do you have central heating Soods

4:22 pm

Adelaide (to the left and a bit up from us) had the dubious honor of being the hottest city on Earth!

4:23 pm

not a goal to which i would aspire. . .

4:23 pm

We do. We have oil heating, but my kitchen is very big, and I have a solid fuel stove as well. It's cosy :-)

4:23 pm

FW

4:24 pm

Congrats Bichon

4:24 pm

Yay Bich!! N

4:24 pm

When it's really cold, I close the door in the kitchen to the rest of the house. The fluffs and I stay in there

4:24 pm

I must say i always feel warmer in winter when talking to the folks downunder and cooler in the summer

4:24 pm

HAGN all

4:24 pm

whoo hooo bichon!

4:25 pm

bye bichon

4:25 pm

Lynn, i have friends in Melbourne who are positively melting.

4:29 pm

4:30 pm

A snip @ €400,000.

4:30 pm

haha my daddy was amazed years ago when he took a trip to england and the hotel had a phone in the bathroom!

4:30 pm

i prefer my time in there to be private thank you very much!

4:31 pm

what a deal though. . . my dinky house in DC is worth that much. . .

4:31 pm

Ditto. AND I'd rather have no distractions, thank you very much!

4:32 pm

yes, i have actually never understood the magazine rack in the loo myself. . .

4:32 pm

its a great house jmc

4:32 pm

but that may have been that i was raised in a family of seven with one bathroom . . . get in and get out!

4:33 pm

ty cosdem. . .I am very happy with it except i think i should have pushed harder for in floor heating for the kitchen. . .

4:33 pm

its the kind of house I want for myself. I hate the modern crap

4:34 pm

Hey, Stid. How are you and the gang? How is the home construction going?

Apparently a big structural inspection will be Tuesday, then (assuming all goes according to plan) we will be able to insulate and drywall... and then I think a month after that we can move in. Maybe.

5:29 pm

You?

5:29 pm

5:31 pm

Hi jm

5:31 pm

my world right now consists of school and getting ready for school, though, so I feel a little out of place when I have to make an actual decision about the house!

5:31 pm

Multitasking is not easy.

5:32 pm

True. Except, it turns out I CAN actually eat chocolate anywhere, and still manage to do whatever I need to do. *happy mama look*

5:33 pm

Eating chocolate is essential for me, and you.

*throws godiva chocolates at stiddie*

5:33 pm

:-D a family trait!

5:33 pm

*throws godiva chocolates at scrabs*

5:34 pm

*grabbing the dark chocolate ones*

5:34 pm

anyone else?

5:34 pm

I only threw dark chocolate. . . i thought that went without saying. . . .

5:35 pm

btw, it's funny but of all the kids I pulled in the shuffle for this year, another distant cousin turns up! LOL it's really funny, because every time the kid thinks about a decision that is less than optimal I just mention I can call mom... and surprisingly the kid chooses something else!

5:35 pm

Well, TY. Many people do not get the delight of dark chocolate.

5:35 pm

hm. godiva choclits are nice, but I can't eat them. thanks anyway, jmc.

5:36 pm

no? so sorry stiddie

5:36 pm

Some kids (and adults) do have consciences.

5:37 pm

yep. I am getting limited now by the "made on equipment shared with" nonsense.

5:37 pm

how's life in the big city, jmc?

5:38 pm

quite lovely thank you. . . i had lunch in a deli and walked over to the farmers market and bought fresh bread. . .

5:38 pm

tomorrow will be less nice since i will be working from 8 to 7

5:39 pm

that's a very long day.

5:39 pm

but i will probably splurge and buy lunch from a food truck at the park nearby. . .

5:39 pm

mmm. lunch sounds good! Tom just brought me a nice big bowl of popcorn. We are getting ready to watch the GAME.

5:39 pm

it wouldn't be too bad as a day if i didn't want to do stuff on my organization at night when i get home. . .

5:40 pm

Oh, popcorn sounds great. I just got an airpopper.

5:40 pm

i wave at the white house every day on the way to work. . .

5:40 pm

airpoppers are great. . .

5:40 pm

We have used an air popper forever (really, we were still using my college one!) so the replacement is the same. It's nice to have a little more control over how much oil goes on.

5:41 pm

but I still sometimes miss the smell of the really old oil popper we had when I was a kid.

5:41 pm

do you really, jmc? That's cool!

5:41 pm

i love living he**. . .

5:42 pm

We had one at my parents' house long ago, then microwave popcorn became popular, then I learned how awful microwave popcorn is, so I began popping with olive oil--yummy.

5:42 pm

oh, that would be nice, scrabs, never considered it!

5:42 pm

jm, I have yet to be in DC. Maybe someday.

5:42 pm

i posted on my webpage this fall a picture of some iranian protestors in front of the fall leafs in front of the white house in their yellow jackets. . . it was loverly!

5:42 pm

let me know. . .you can stay with me scrabs and entertain my cat. . .

5:43 pm

scrabs, have you met jmc in person yet? She is wonderful.

5:43 pm

Maybe I will get there someday.

5:43 pm

[blush]

5:44 pm

clue for the last go please go5/14

5:44 pm

It would be so much easier to visit DC with a native to guide me. I am NOT an urban person and I get overstimulated in urban settings.

5:45 pm

rhymes with an equine

5:45 pm

jmc: a spiky plant resembling scotch broom, has thorns

5:45 pm

i could take you to the arboretum and the zoo. . . .

5:45 pm

And I know jm is wonderful--it is quite clear from chatting with her here for years.

5:45 pm

i thought of that but didn't think to go up! ty both

5:46 pm

[fiercely blushing]

5:46 pm

Being in DC with a guide is I think a must. Even 40 years ago it was pretty overwhelming at times.

5:47 pm

it is fun to take people to the nonregular places. . .

5:47 pm

th*** is a fabulous Einstein statue with the universe at his feet. . .

5:48 pm

oooh. I bet that is cool!

5:48 pm

The Einstein statue is fabulous and it's not far from the Viet Nam Memorial, which most people want to see.

5:48 pm

it is one of my favorite statues. . . second only to the WPA teamsters in front of the dept of commerce

5:49 pm

i stay with Einstein while my guests go to the vietnam memorial . . .you should see it once but i have. . .

5:49 pm

i also like the DC map that is in the middle of one park. . .

5:50 pm

My favorite statue is the one of those seagulls on the wave, on the way to National Airport (yes, I still call it that)

5:50 pm

me too. . .it is National Airport forever for me. . . and yes that is a great statue too.

5:51 pm

*makes up guest bed for scabs*

5:52 pm

On occasion, I still refer to CVS as Peoples.

5:52 pm

hehe

5:55 pm

6:11 pm

I was in DC in 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was shot and the riots started. I would love to go back to see these places without tension

6:12 pm

6:13 pm

we were driving along an avenue that allowed us to look down the streets that were being looted and burning. I found it very sad

6:14 pm

one day I will show up in your neck of the woods but who knows when...

6:14 pm

it was sad. . .it was many years of pent up frustration finding an outlet. . .

6:14 pm

We didn't watch the first game; then we went and picked up some BBQ for supper and heard the gal singing the national anthem for this game (who was she anyway?? I wasn't impressed...)

8:58 pm

and when we got home DH and our son watched while we ate. DH says he's not interested; but this was a good game!

8:58 pm

i have no idea....

8:59 pm

it was an intense game

8:59 pm

this was a very intense game!

9:00 pm

this is the first time ever I have spent a sunday watching 2 football games. i feel so straight.

9:01 pm

LOL, cos! I normally don't care for football except for the vikings (who never win); but this was a good game

9:02 pm

Will definitely be watching the super bowl. i think our governor is gonna require it by law :P

9:02 pm

9:02 pm

seattle

9:03 pm

Seahawks!

9:03 pm

whoooo hooooo!!! both my teams won! so either way in the super bowl, my team wins!

9:04 pm

WTG, lbd! My nephew lives in Seattle, he calls them the Shehawks; and he was rooting for the 49'ers

9:04 pm

hah. someone on fb just posted, colorado and washington legalized weed, broncos and seahawks go to superbowl

9:05 pm

Now that is really funny, cos. I had to share that with DH!

9:10 pm

Good evening all. I have one left (almost forgot)...se5-10 please.....thanks

9:14 pm

Thanks much,torgone and Nef.

9:14 pm

hi Tor. I see your name in the grid; does that mean you get the tiara?

9:15 pm

Princess for a Dayâ„¢

9:15 pm

HEHE!

9:16 pm

Well, I must do a few thing here, so I will see you all at the flip.

9:16 pm

whooo hoooo Peach!

9:17 pm

Laters peachy ..

9:19 pm

hello and bye peach...

9:23 pm

Sorry, had a phone call. Yesterday someone insisted that since my name was in the grid I got the tiara. I said I didn't want it; and just decided that I'd pass it on today. Tor, you got lucky! ;-)

9:28 pm

your babbler name is in th egrid though!

9:29 pm

OH, DRAT! I totally missed it! You can have mine, then.

9:43 pm

Tor gets the Babble six-pack. (No princess he, but a prince among men)

9:45 pm

I'm a man but I want to be a princess!

9:46 pm

You can have the tiara then Cos. : ) Maybe you can save it and wear it on Weed Bowl Sunday.

9:46 pm

Yes! Excellent.

9:46 pm

Good one Molly.

9:47 pm

I have Big Trouble in Little China on now.

9:50 pm

Wahey! Babble six-pack!

9:51 pm

Any time my name is in the grid, cos; you can have the tiara for the day. I am not a tiara lady; nor do I ever wear hats or scarves. Back in the day that nurses wore caps, mine was always falling off and when I anchored it securely; it would pull my hair out.

9:52 pm

I'm so disappointed that the Niners lost. *Sends sympathy flowers to Ru*

9:52 pm

I appreciate that. All I want to be is Queen.

9:53 pm

*Cues up Freddy Mercury* : D

9:54 pm

I got a very very pleasant surprise today when I opened up a book I ordered online (it came yesterday)

9:54 pm

The book was an authorized biography of my political hero, and it turns out she signed it!. was not mentioned in the ad when I bought it.

9:55 pm

what was it, cos?

9:55 pm

NICE!

9:55 pm

she passed away last year and I had lost my autographed poster from her campaign for governor.. so this is a nice make-up for it

10:00 pm

My weekend was great and what makes it nicer is that it continues tomorrow. No school tomorrow for me for MLK

10:20 pm

:-D me too, Min! I am so happy to have extra time. We have been lazy this weekend. Sleeping in, hanging out. Grant has devoted the whole weekend to us. And Tom made pizza tonight (I helped). I am so lucky.

10:30 pm

10:30 pm

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

Goodbye Jindigo!I will see you tomorrow in the log maybe

11:01 pm

rose, if you are here, please check your email. Thanks

11:02 pm

Hi Min. I'd wandered off to play Words with Friends and also do some puzzles; not concentrating on the grid tonight

11:06 pm

Hello Nef! I started grid at flip and got 70 words. Then I didn't get back here again until about 10:30. I listed and got down to 5 words and then I finished. at 11:14

11:07 pm

I have 75 words left; I'm stuck seeing the same non-words now

11:11 pm

Here to clue if anyone wants or needs....

11:13 pm

Hi Jac. I'm afraid that my interest in this grid has w 4/8d and may wander off again.

11:13 pm

How are you doing (Gosh, is it 4 AM there? That's not good!

11:19 pm

5:18am and my other half is getting up for work, Nef.

11:20 pm

oh, that makes some sense then. (But I hate to getup that early myself)

11:23 pm

Ask for clues if you want. I'll be here for about half an hour.

11:23 pm

okay, I do need a clue for the 8 I guess.

11:24 pm

And thanks for offering too

11:25 pm

or8/45 - plural of the or7/32. People who either try to boss others around or go onto a website to buy stuff.

11:25 pm

people who pick menu items and ask the waitress for them

11:26 pm

ior 8

11:26 pm

or 8 that is

11:26 pm

thanks! And I had that 7, just didn't see the pl

11:28 pm

Wellm nef, when you're finishing the grid, it's always the plurals or the word that form the first four letters of the longer words you've already found, and therefore think you've already typed in, the make up the stragglers.

11:29 pm

Can't be bothered to correct all the typos - I'm sure you know what I meant to say. lol

11:30 pm

Thank; I do understand Jac. That's the way I type (and sometimes talk too)

hi all

11:30 pm

:D

11:30 pm

Hi Gwen.

ty, got the 8, good clues ruru and all

11:31 pm

hi Gwen

nbt, how hard can the rest be? lol

11:35 pm

For me Gwen, words became invisible around 70 left

say it isn't so!

11:36 pm

Severe frost outisde,. Other half is cooling previously boiled water to pour onto his windscreen to defrost it.

looks like it's almost all 4s and 5s -- fingers crossed

11:36 pm

It could just be my distractibility today, though

here in michigan we scrape frost off the car -- you don't scrape?

11:38 pm

We scrape here in MN too; pouring hot water on a windshield here would just freeze it over again

11:38 pm

Yes, we scrape, but sometimes more is needed. You can't pour boiling water onto your windscreen because that would crack it, so we have to cool it.

11:39 pm

Gwen - I think our weather is cooling due to the results of a warmed-up Hercules coming over thee Atlantic to us.

well, yeah, i understood what you meant about cooling off the boiling water! (i heard recently about some nitwit who tried to warm up her car by burning something underneath it. Boom.

11:40 pm

Gwen - boo,? Oh dear! Sillybi... erm, woman. lol

11:41 pm

Other half has gone off to work now.

11:41 pm

Jacula, I started a WwF games with you. Do you want to play?

11:42 pm

peri - what is the game?

11:42 pm

words with friends

11:44 pm

Oh yes. Sorry, peri, I'm not signed into FB right now and my word games haven't been flaggn up new moves by others for ages. I've only just found the latest Scrabble move from a friend that she made about a week ago.

11:44 pm

ok, I can

11:44 pm

I can't resign tho.

11:45 pm

in the last game I started with you I kept getting a message that the game was out of sync. the game eventually disappeared

11:45 pm

I sure wish I could taste things

11:46 pm

In fact, peri, I'm beginning to think that a post another friend made about the lessening of notifications from others since the privacy things changed on FB perhaps being a step towards them making us pay to see stuff, is maybe true.

11:46 pm

After about 10 days-2 weeks it will resign for you peri. I had that happen to me, Jac. I'm not sure how that happened nor do I know how it was fixed....

11:46 pm

anyone clue the re6,21?

11:47 pm

re6-21, a meal ago

11:47 pm

bfsog - re6.21 is a meal, re + 'not the present'.

11:47 pm

sorry, I don't have it (but am now looking for it)

11:47 pm

tut, should have seen that. TY

11:48 pm

*waves*

11:48 pm

Thanks Jac.

11:48 pm

Hi cos

11:48 pm

Hi cos! "waves back"

11:48 pm

I am not about to pay for stuff on FB

11:48 pm

hi all, waiting for the flip

11:49 pm

I am hoping for a big grid 300+

11:49 pm

Hi Sue.

11:49 pm

me too peri. tomorrow have day off ... need something to do besides laundry

11:50 pm

231

11:50 pm

I like big grids, too.

my guess is 127

11:50 pm

Id be happy with 250

11:50 pm

150

11:50 pm

My guess is 121, though I'd like to see 320.

11:51 pm

742

11:51 pm

haha joso I would be ok with that

11:51 pm

joso - I doubt it, fun though it would be.

11:52 pm

101

11:53 pm

We should set up some kind offical lottery site for guesses on the size of the grid. We could either get prize money or private spelling it out clues for a percentage of grid words. lol

11:53 pm

17

11:53 pm

largest to date is 744, lets break a record with 745

11:54 pm

I remember the 744, and the 26!!

11:54 pm

167

11:54 pm

joso - it's all up to Jamie's babble machine.

11:54 pm

I loved the 744

11:54 pm

I wonder how many babblers were able to finish the 744.

11:54 pm

is that anything like Lawrence Welk's bubble machine?

11:55 pm

I did but that was back then when I had no life, no job, no hope lol

11:55 pm

before the 744, I think the record had been about 520

11:55 pm

I dunno, ruru, ask Dr_God.

11:55 pm

I finished it

11:55 pm

ruru how are you dealing with the drought?

11:55 pm

Good for you periwinkle!

11:56 pm

I finished it, too, peri, I always finish unless I'm not here. lol

11:57 pm

When I'm not here, if I can find an internet connectin, I get the puzzle up and do it on paper.

11:58 pm

And if I can't, I just let it go. lol

11:58 pm

when was the 744? i sort of recall.

11:58 pm

We just had a monster last week.

11:58 pm

I think it was last April harp

26 to go, shucky-darn

11:58 pm

tick tock

11:59 pm

Gwen, that's adorkable. ;)
