If you mean me? Very well, thanks. And you? Ohh... check your email, ru?
I'm fine
Good.
you mean the march photo?
Yeah.
I like the beard.. looks good on you
Since you were asking... the other day.
What beard? Haha. That's just a bit of shadow.
are you growing one or forgot to shave :D
Stubble...
(so millennial0
Nope. I'm just lazy about shaving... well, I'd have to shave too often to keep a smooth face. Nuts to that!
if you grow a man bun.. i'll have to drive down and beat you to a pulp
Ain't gonna happen in this or any lifetime! UGH.
amen to that
Besides, my hair is never allowed to get long enough for that. :P

Hi. I just started playing 10 minutes ago and notice that my word list has random words in it like 'seriously' 'online' etc. Not in alpha order. This is the second time I have seen this over the last week. Anyone else noticed it?
Good morning
hi Ruby...hope it is good and you are a bit warmer
It is so cold here that I let the dogs out, made a coffee, picked up my charged laptop and got back inn bed
It's fine in bed!
will the dogs get on the bed with you? (I hope)
The wood guy came last evening and since the big gate was frozen closed, he threw the logs down from my little parking, driving the dogs insane
No, these dogs don't get on furniture, not trained that way, they just don't
but at least I have plenty of wood
do you have electric heaters too?
I sleep on 5 pillows with wo wool blankets and a fur coat over the top
Only in the bathroom
Most of the time, I don't mind and once the firee is going (my old housekeeper's son comes to make the fire and walk the dogs), I can go downstairs and make the pups' omelet
but do tell me you have thermal underwear and lots of wool clothing. Hooray for the housekeepers son - bless him.
I usually wear a thermal undershirt, three sweaters, twopair of thermal tights, wool socks and leg warmers
By noon, I'm usually OK
If I didn't have to get up for the dogs, I'd stay in bed all the time and wait for spring

It is still as drizzly and foggy as it was yesterday. And more to come, according to the weather guy.
ugh, same here!
Well, better than snow
Yes! Good point :)
rainy foggy and gloomy here too
did anyone watch the remake of Beaches last night?
nope
I'm so tired of remakes.
agreed molly
me too! Why remake? The orig was epic. And why remake The Shining, Grease, The Sound of Music, etc. It's an insult to the original.
It's like imagination is dead in Hollywood.
THat is so true.
I was not overly impressed with the tv Grease remake
Beaches was an insult ot the original
Me neither mlf
molly its like my husband always says no one has any new or original ideas anymore
If I were an actress, singer, dancer, etc. I would never want to try to improve upon the performance of Swayze, Julie Andres, Bette Midler, and the rest.
*Andrews
molly idina menzel turned down the role several times, she did however get Midler's approval via a text
Indina Menzel is a very talented actress and singer in her own right. She doesn't need to be doing remakes.

clue for the 9 please?
well, OF COURSE the sainted Juli is coming too, so that will help. I just shut up and pay.....(I actually like her, by the way, but it's the slightest bit tiring how tertiare feels J can do no wrong and is perfect in EVERY way I am not)
yea...what the Mom likes doesn't matter and is never right. ;-)
Hi all
hi origami
hi ori
Hello
I need a clue for the 9 for nbs anyone I have nbt
trif, bichon, others--the rally was terrific in Srlf Il and Madison Wis--we had Dick Durbin speaking--huge orderly crowds--look at Huff Post for the SIGNS s people carried-- Dont agonize--organize--I've written it up for next week, proud of our city--
is the single I the 9?
no
No
single i is id 7/36
oh well done round!!!! There were some very, very clever signs, that is for sure! Personally, I was delighted to see Princess Leia so well represented, nerd that I am
the 9 is de
hi round
Springfield that is.
found the id! nbt, thanks so much!!!
trif that is the I was looking for too typed that word in which turned out to be a 7 and the one I needed:)
way to go mlf
trif rarely ever happens lol
there was a photo of Princess Leia--so beautiful you almost cry-- the signs were positive, funny, defiant--dly any hateful--lots extolling our womanly body parts! I wore my pussy cap proudly
I did not have a proper pink hat, but wore a Rosie the riveter type pink bandana tied so I had little pink ears. I was so proud!
found a de 6 7 8
mine was a pinkie made by my daughter who died--it had a little peak--I rubber banded that off, made another peak, it was raffish--people photoed me--so Demi was there isn spirit--Dick Durbin hugged me--he's an old friend and a staunch senator
and I walked with my son - who is the worlds biggest introvert and HATES crowds, but was bound and determined to do it - and he did! He almost had to turn back a couple of times - but he didn't! I was so so proud of him. Crowds are his undoing, and this was a whopper, but the spirit of the day was AMAZING and we felt safe and happy. Such a mix of people! Men, women, families, every color and belief system. The number of disabled people was particularly poignant, given the level of respect the disabled reporter received at trump's tiny hands.....I will never forget one woman I saw - a tiny little thing, clearly never independently mobile, being pushed by a helper in the chair which is clearly her world....holding a sign that simply said "I AM a pre-existing condition"
got the DE 9
help please car?
Ooooh...care to clue?
THANK YOU for walking! Reading about your experiences is bringing tears to my eyes.

Thanks car...great clue!
hi mixi

I was so glad my granddaughter in Wisconsin went to Madison--she's 16 --I'm sure it made an impression. Here, and in all the photos and the videos on tv, there were so many YOUNG women--and men--it is very heartening.

agreed, roundbarn. For the first time in a long long time, I feel like there is hope

mixi that wont take you too long to finish:)
I gotta go make bacon now....be back soon!
yum
You should put some bacon in the pb...you know...just in case...
I appreciated the male participants also. A great sign: "I'm terrified and I don't even have a pussy to grab."
I ordered a dress on-line. it look FedEx 10 tries to find my house. Grrrrr.
I am already hungry lol
remember Crossy and his bacon mania
me too, Trif. If anybody wants to see what I've written, I'm jjack1@uis.edu. Also, the Illinois Times is on line every week, so my Trump=Zeus (remember Danae and the golden shower?) is out there now. Innocently lewd.
mixi why did it take them that many times?
They are idiots?
mixi lol besides that?
a) they need an apartment number.
b) they can't find the address with directions
c) my business was closed.
mixi ohhh
I live in a single family house.
RoundBarn, the address took me to the main page of the UofI. Where do I go from there?
They couldn't find it when I sent them my location on google maps.
OH, h1212, look up Illinois Times.
okey dokey :)
mixi...that's a comedy of errors if I've ever heard one
sent by mistake--try my Roundbarn stories website. but that jjack1@uis.edu should go right to my email--I'll check.
I'm sooooo glad I paid extra to have it delivered sooner.
:(
The seller's credited me.
;)
Glad to know someone did!
Just read your poem about Trump-Zeus - brilliant. Also, the New Year one - says it all. Thanks!
thank YOU, ch1212!! I don't pretend to be a poet, so I just write whatever, to fit the space--quite a few are political--
The haiku New Year's one is wonderfully layered, with depth. Shared it with my beloved (he's on the treadmill right now and particularly enjoyed the reference.)
also when I write about suicide, people --strangers--stop me on the street and say thank you. My last year's one was Demi, bu taking your life you've spared yourself old age. You've also spared yourself your mother's old age."--so, sorta bitter, sort of regret, but I hope love.
I just browsed through the collection on Illinois Times, but not seeing one about suicide. Is it there?
round that is awesome
round can you repost that poem on babble?
It was last year, jan 14 or 15. iF YOU EMAIL ME YOUR ADDRESS i'LL SEND YOU LAST YEARS COLLECTION IN A BOOKLET WITH A HILARIOUS COVER--oops pardon caps.
I won't abuse your address.
ch1212 @ hotmail.com Thanks!
I would love to do that but I cant get into any of my email . I know it sounds nuts but its true
mlfan17--it wqs a shortie, already sort of given here:
that's so neat round:)
demi, by taking your own life you have spared yourself old age. You've also spared yourself your mother's old age." I find if I hit the space button it send, so I didn't space it.
round that is such a great poem!
I just found both poems in Illinois Times - I used the search engine. Achingly beautiful. (And I deliberately put a space in whenever I post my email address online, so that the auto-search spam robots don't copy it. :) )
thank you both and all--I usually lurk, but the march, and you people's remarks, sometimes bring me to chat. I also write about Babble and you all--anonymously of course.
Of course! :)
now gotta get to the uu's about 10 of our people went to Washington--they won't be here today. Thanks, all.
erns
sorry--pb--poof.
At least there might be bacon!
Oh good timing, roundbarn, I just put pull-apart monkey bread in the PB. And coffee.
ooh did I hear bacon?
Sounds worth making a boo-boo for monkey
Sounds like quite the breakfast buffet!
ah, the magic word. That means Crossy should be popping in soon.
fern
OK I'm going!
i was in the states last week...and i bought some chocolate covered bacon.... have yet to try it
monkey wants some bacon
Well it can't be bad...chocolate and bacon...yummmmmmm
Oh my rolin! I don't know if I would eat choc covered bacon.
well..im reserving judgement...
i think of salted chocolate... and i like that
Yes I like salted chocolate. And I have enjoyed a maple-bacon cupcake. Delicious!
i have had some chocolate with bacon in it....my nephew the chef made some....very good!
he also did a strawberry cake that had bacon in it for a friend's birthday....she loved it....
my new favorite part of the day is this. after i feed my littlest kitten (who was taken by a bird of prey at a day old and then dropped, saved, and bottle fed, but thus had virtually no time with her cat mom) she gets on me and acts like i'm her real mom by kneading me, purring, and "comfort nursing" by suckling my hoodie string.
haha hurshy :)
which reminds me...haven't seen our Canadian bacon lover lately...anyone heard from him?
no I haven't seen him
hello, I'm back - now with bacon!
dang...you guys made me hungry! bbl
I need to start doing some laundry.
Does anyone shop at H&M ? THey have started a recycling program. If you bring a plastic bag of old clothing, they will take them and give you a 15% off coupon to buy new clothes. Then they recycle the clothing.
That is great Lil. I wish more stores would do that.
bbl - time for breakfast (mmmm.... bacon!)
I am updating my profile picture to Tristan and I walking yesterday.....
Yes I do too Molly! I like H&M. We just got a big new one at the local mall here in Newport News.
Can someone please tell me if it came out huge?
WOW great pic Trifi!!!!! Yall look wonderful! And the pic seems to be normal size.
thanks lil.
Looks ok from here!
I think soodle will forgive me....
Your son is such a handsome guy!
....and talk about the apple not falling far from the tree! Same face! Love it.
Yes you're right champ... twins!
we are rather similar, yes. strangely, he looks like his dad as well. And he and I look NOTHING alike
I;m really proud of my son, that is for sure.
hey look, W is in the grid
anyone got the 9?
car did earlier.....it means to be out of something, like a vitamin
ty
morning all
Hurshy, I love your cat story. Years ago, I had a hue cat who flept on my chest and used to knead
I loved it

Hi kids.

often used when you don't have enough vitamins
hi Scrabs
you are vitamin de 7/48
oh, sorry..that's the 9
TY, moo!
govs strive for a financial de7/48
you could still say you have a de 7/48 in your vitamin intake :)
hi all. i am coming in to chat to try to keep from shouting at my tv...
got, ty rolin
yes, I found the TV just ignores me
:)
Turn your TV off, Owl, or change the channel.
what's upsetting you TO?
no, no. it is important to stay tuned, to witness.
the new regime perhaps?
Watching TV isupsetting these das
aaah... now i know
*das
*das
we have an orderly transfer of power, but there is always a learning curve
*days
there is a general dissatisfaction with government for a long time. there would be issues no matter who won. verying degrees, though
i don't watch it anymore except about the march
I think we are broken and wont get fixed for 4 years
the pettiness disturbs me. on both sides
bich, we will get through this as a country. i do worry about some of my friends though
I worry that Trump is irrevocably destroying trust in some institutions such as the Media and the Intelligence services
I have become more focused on spirituality and mindfulness...focusing on peace.
I am usuall an optimist, but have been driven to pessimission
sorry to bring it up. back to your regularly programmed babble channel!
Who else is going to keep checks on him?
The media went to hell long before Trump was elected. And I agree TO, pettiness on both sides.
pessimism
there is a constitution.
please do not get me started on the media.
Not all media
It's very easy to find both arguments to a position
SORRY SORRY SORRY!!! TRULY SORRY!
What has changed is that many people don't bother to read both sides
This is not a normal transfer of power, and not and "the media" is a paper tiger.
Don't be sorry. Adults like to chat about adult things.
And how manyways has the consitution been distorted?
HOw about clues for 7's and 8's, kids?
all the 7s have seven letters in them :)
which ones Scrabs?
moo: most people don't get to HEAR both sides. if you use the web fornews, you get what google analyctics want you to see based on your search habits.
and your friends, o n fb
All of them, bichon. I just started.
TO that's a very simplistic response
de 7 is a financial downtun
in your opinion, to which you are entitled. let's end this before people become uncomfortable.
I use google news, but there are plenty of aggregation sites from RealClearPolitics to AllSides
it just seems to me that when a leader of a country stands up and denies photographic evidence of something by accusing the media of misrepresentation.... as one of the first things he does ..
Politifact is also a fair source for evaluating claims, as is Snopes
de 7 those who are against a rule of law
one of the new cabinet, I think Sessions, said that separation o church and state is unconstitutional. others say global warming is a hoax. I the other "side" offered reasonable positions, such as "this is how we are going to lift people out o poverty' there might be a discussion with reasonable disgreements. one cannot argue with a crowd that denies acts.
When people believe ALL media, then they open themselves up to being manipulated
facts
and making un of disabled peoplef
*fun
Likewise when they dismiss the media as unreliable they are also being manipulated
TY, bichon, and I just found 2 de7's by myself.
fe 7, pt of worried abuto
It's very easy to get informed, we live in an age where information is very easily available and easy to countercheck
fe 7 one who worries
he 7, female bovines
the difficulty is in today's technology so much can be manipulated and manufactured... so the danger is that a gov can take this truth and use it to distort others truths and rewrite history..
I think people have a right to their opinions on things and it is not fair to dismiss those opinions as "simplistic".
I found the cows.
I agree Rolin. There is a lot that is manipulated and manufactured.
By the media and the government.
Saying that google provides news you want to hear, therefore people are in echo chambers is a simplistic argument
de 5/14, pls
You could argue that people lack the drive and/or curiosity to see out other opinions
ah, now i understand. if that is what i meant, it would indeed be simplistic.
ty for clarifying.
de6/14...take away frozen water
TY, phaeton.
sorry...that was de5/14
yw
When I saw Trump making fun of disabled people, I don't think I can listen to anthing more about him and his gang
t phae
yw bichon
I don't deny anyone their dislike of Trump. I don't like him either. The fact is, he is the President for 4 more years. The best thing you can do if you are against that is to get involved in local politics that is anti-Trump.
bichon just another turn off from trump that I have
of
I can certainly agree with that Molly, or in specific causes that matter to you
My daughter works with people with intellectual disabits and her husband voted for Trump
Ask yourself "What am I doing to make a Trump presidency ineffective?" If the answer is just "complaining" you won't be very effective yourself.
I think you can also call your representatives and senators, what ever party they be from, and reiterate that you want them to do their jobs as legistlators and to hold Trump accountable. Do not let him turn the Whitehouse into another Trump Hotel
bichon apparently having a disabled person in your life isn't enough to not vote for him which is ashame or in his case one of many wrong things that have come out of his mouth
The irony is that Congress generally has as much if not more power than the President, but we hold those folks to such low standards it seems
i suggest efforts focused on getting some more state legislatures to sign on to the National Popular Vote pledge, which would allow the popular vote winner to win the presidency. www.nationalpopularvote.com
mool agreed
I'd also suggest that if you live in a state that has partisan redistricting commissions that there's an area where you can make an immediate impact
I thought their was going to be a recount of the votes anyway?
yeah that's the thing with Congress - SOOOO much gerrymandering, so hard to fix
That ship sailed a long time ago ML, don't think there was ever enough evidence to change that. Today there is a lot more technology involved, so generally speaking recounts are less impactful
I really wish that all those women who thought it was important enough to march in Washington (and other places) had done it BEFORE the election.
Another to consider would be term limits on politicias
mool this is true and I don't care if they had recounted the or not anyway
There are term limits on politicians.
Not on Senators or Representatives
their was some protests before Trump got elected to have him impeached
mostly just governors and the president
You can't impeach someone who isn't elected of course :)
we know mool lol:)
How would Trump be impeached. The Republicans own ccongress
Yes, highly unlikely, but not impossible
de 6/27, pls
the previous president that was impeached back in the 60s? was he dem or rep?
The majority of reps and a fair number of senators are motivated by what will get them elected, not what is right
bichon you need to de**** to do it or not?
So it's up to the voting public to put pressure on them
make up your mind bichon!!
Was Andrew Johnson impeached?
better clue deeha and hello:)
The most effective way to share your opinion with an elected official is to call their main office
multiple times
ty deeha and fan
yw bichon and add onto that word for two more
Writing emails, signing petitions etc are generally easily dismissed
very true mool
There's a few articles from former staffers who talk about this if you care to look for more detaisl
is pe7 a pl?
As long as special interest groups (and their money) can persuade elected representatives, these united states will not have a government 'for the people, of the people"
The easiest way to cede power, is to believe you're powerless
i could see a republican congress impeaching trump. they'd still have just as much power, because he'd be replaced by pence, and they'd be rid of a difficult, narcisstic hothead
I have a pe7 that is more than the previous two
I think it's unlikely hursh, he'd have to do something pretty egregious to get there
Maybe you should stop drinking so much tea Deeha
dee so is it pe 5 6 7?
I think more likely you'll see a lot more lawsuits against him and his family
he already has - just on taking office, he's got conflicts of interest up the wazoo, and has taken insufficient action to fix that
Ends in exam, Mlf.
Nixon would have been impeached if he hadn't ressigned
The first one has already been filed with respect to the GSA being a lessee of one of his properties
ty zooz
no sorry I was thinking 4 6 7
have those now deeha:)
but i also think it's a catch-22 now. you either have trump, or if he's removed in any way, shape or form, you have a load of trump supporters even angrier than they were before. even if he just died of natural causes, they'd be sure it was poison or something.
lol could happen hurshy
no amount of evidence is enough to convince people who think they Know the Truth and anything contrary to that is obviously lies and propaganda
Yes, even in Russia where there's still access to other points of view, people choose not to seek them out
Putin has managed to push voter participation down below 50% there, because people feel hopeless. This last election saw around 56% of eligible voters cast ballots
"The easiest way to cede power, is to believe you're powerless"...well, when you convince me that the American public has any influence over what happens in government, I will think about that rather short-sighted comment.
Molly, I wonder about that a lot. I mean, the thing that was just going on about the Ethics committee - it said they changed their minds due to the outcry - and I'm like, what outcry? WHO IS IT that they are actually listening to and changing plans because of? and why did it happen with this and not a lot of other stuff?
Well then I suggest you take a look back at the history of American democracy
How it has changed over time
I am always amused by people from other countries who think they have a firm grasp on America and it's politics.
You will see greater and greater ability to influence from the voting public
When democracy was first implemented in the US, only men who owned land could vote
ooooh molly!!
I've seldom found birthplace to be indicative of someone's knowledge of a subject
wishing JMC were here. one of the most political yet most thoughtful and realixtic activists I have had the pleasure to know. she has appeared on public radio talking about how to come together and do what needs to be done.
On PBS, TO?
yes, not national, a local
hey molly - is this a good or a bad time to announce i was invited by a friend to attend one of the inaugural balls? i did not go.
A lot of their broadcasting is available in podcast - I don't know about local.
TO...: D !!!
I would be lost without PBS and NPR
:D
As I recall, JMC is involved in trying to get interest group funding out of politics.
At any rate, the reason the US has anti-monopoly laws, has safety laws, has environmental laws is because of activism
One's birthplace does in fact very much influence how ones thinks. European social democrats look at politics and the world quite differently. Each country is obligated to its own citizens. As the EU falls apart and refuses to take orders from Brussels, each individual entity will once again look to themselves.
That is still assumptive bubba
story of my life.missed opportunity.
That assumes that the person you're talking to has etiher never lived somewhere else
Perhaps, but the way of the world.
Does not have a social network that includes people from other backgrounds
or has limited interest in exploring objective or counter viewpoints
Molly, I believe your comment was directed at me
Anti-monopoly laws? Safety laws? Environmental laws? Yes they exist. And yet they are merely band-aids to placate people while crimes of monopoly, safety and against the environment continue.
Do the laws eliminate all crimes, of course not. Very hard to shift from a state of lawlessness to one of fairness so quickly
But one of the fundamental aspects of politics and law is incremental improvement over time based on precedent and popular support
We no longer have lead in gasoline, PCBs have been banned, car manufacturers are prosecuted for not building safe vehicles, cigarette manufacturers likewise prosecuted
Companies are still being denied the right to merge, or are in some cases broken up (as we saw with AT&T)
The progress is neither linear nor absolute, but over time the democratic world continues to move towards more transparency and more power to individuals
When you look at it from year to year, it's easy to miss the progress, and in fact you'll see examples of receding rather than progress
But over the broader time period you'll see democracies become stronger

some would say all sorts of things about all sorts of things, and not always nicely LOL
happy babbling all, see you tomorrow
Some people state an opinion that is not in agreement with another opinion. It has nothing to do with "nicely". It has to do with having a discussion about topics that people don't agree upon.
it is difficult to have a discussion in print. intonation, body language and facial expression are key in communication.
stats for the single I and the single E pls
Single e...et6/18...single i...id7/36
I agree about discussions in print, TO. But it is pretty obvious when someone thinks they know everything about every topic. It is not a conversation, just them telling you how right they are.
omg i got that id! too much time babbling.
oh rats. did not, but got an ed6/7 that sounds like id
*sigh* this is my day to enjoy the paper and the cooking shows, but pbs is begging again. i think i will head to the grocery store before the nor'easter.
Molly, I've seen a couple of examples here where you've tried to attack the opponent rather than provide a reasoned argument against my points
It's hard to have a discussion if someone simply says this is my opinion, but doesn't support it with anything
the first rule in discussion, as learned in business/management school,as well as counseling, is to maintain self esteem, and to avoid the use of judgmental language. the latter is very hard, since humans seem hard wired to judge.
fw and off to read the daily, have a good day everyone
bye flosey
good morning all -- just starting out on htis one
hi nan.
gl nan, it's a long walk
You keep thinking you are right about everything, moolingwa. I bet that works for you. I only get into a debate of opinions with someone who doesn't think their way is the right way.
Well I certainly apologize if you get that impression
My intent is to test my opinions and conclusions
I am wrong all the time
I change my opinions as I get better data and better arguments
I can appreciate that, moolingwa :)
Tiresome. Later all.
moo, how many words do you have left?
down to 43
Nice! I still have 91.
I do like the bigger boards, but that can be a slog
Yes esp if you have to slog thru the Ps haha
heh
there's so many almost big words in here
Greetings, all!
hey Judi
hi Judi!
Well, here's a kick in the head. I found that by upgrading from an IPhone 5s to a 6s is going to cost me less money per month. Weird but true.
strange, were you financing the last phone?
Well that's awesome Judi!
How do you like it?
I have an iPhone six and love it
Yeah, monthly payments. And, I'll get more minutes and twice the gigs.
I used to have the 6+, but had to recently replace it...developed a bug
I threw my Samsung galaxy from my car at 100 miles per hour in frustration
Read the customer reviews on the differences between 6s and 7. Most say the 7 isn't worth the extra $$ becuase the 6s has all the same goodies.
I have the iPhone 6 SE. It is a 6 but smaller, like the size of a 4. I love it.
Yeah, it's pretty incremental...although the water resistance is good for me, already destroyed a phone that way :)
I declined the Apple insurance. I'll get insurance from SquareTrade. Save some dought there too.
vn
Once tried to switch to a Samsung...worst decision on phones I'd ever made
And... I'm getting a $68 credit for trading in my 5s!
woo hooo! WTG Judi
*chuffed and smug*
good for you judi
Wasn't the Samsung Galaxy 7 the one that was busting into flames?
I think so! KABOOM
yeah, it was some time ago when I tried switching
lil monkey, I have two more p words to find
galaxy notebook caught on flames
I finished the Ps! *chuffed and smug*
they were made from recycled pinto parts
I think it may be time for an anger management intervention for Ru. Speeding and flinging cell phones onto the highway. Hmmm.
Pinto the car? or pinto the beans? LOL
pe 6/24?

Go Wings! I'm a Wing Nut
Oh we can be friendly rivals then :)
0-0 5 minutes into the second
Wings just killed off a penalty
I am exactly halfway 111/111
Vanek didn't return for the second, took a shot off the wrist
YES I just found it on NBC so I'm watching too
might as well keep going now ML
i am halfway 111/111
lol mool
I have 88 left
35 to go
Go moo and mlf!
feeling left out in a world governed by tweets and twits and twerps -- don't own a cell phone and see no need for it ---$100/month to remind my husband to pick up milk on his way home? No thanks!
different sport but i watched the Warriors win their game
Yes cybernan!!!! I like it!
I don't twit or tweet either.
good for you nan...my parents went the same way
I have bird feeders...
cyber my husband has a cell phone but its a cheap one. i don't own one but i did when they were very new
we have a bird feeder too
My 86 year old mom insisted on getting an iPhone. Because she says "it's so cool." haha
Nan, don't feel like you are the only one in the word who feels that way. I am trying to have a conversation with my son about why I have no use for Facebook. He doesn't get it.
My hubby has a flip phone, but his work pays for it. Nevertheless, tech shaming abounds for him.
molly how old is your son?
i just found out that if costco has your phone in stock, you pay no sales tax on it. of course, they do not have the SE in stock right now
I have quite a few friends who don't use Facebook, and they pooh pooh it, but those same people use Instagram.
I wish I had never gotten rid of my flip phone. I hate my smart (hahaha...smart) phone.
Yes we can get a basic cell phone for around $80 but cell phone service in Canada is just about the most expensive in the world.
Hi, TO. We are fortunate to live in a sales tax-free state.
i used to think facebook was for posting pics only
I had a flip phone about 1 week and accidently sat on it while it was flipped open. The End.
rotfl monkey
wow, nan. do they offer pay as you go, or prepaid plansl?
your phone flipped out?
I don't use Instagram, Twitter or any other social media.
molly you are wise
hmm, judi, i may just have to stop next time and buy there, i did not think of that.
HA no moo, it was flipped open. I laid it down and then forgot it was there and sat on it. The hinge broke and then I had a two-piece phone.
that's why I can't have sunglasses
I really don't even understand Instagram or TWitter.
by bum doesn't like we wearing them
That's why I buy sunglasses at Dollar Tree, moo
i was forced to switch by my carrier, no longer supporting my old 2G phone. now they charge separately for talk and text. i have talk minutes but no more text
i have a twitter account but i don't use it
nolly, I'm with you on the facebook issue. I think social media is the biggest threat going to personal security on the internet.
it is cyber
so i bought 3 hours of time but now i am not getting it i text more than anything
*Molly
Yes I text with everyone. I hardly ever talk on the phone anymore.
Yes Nan, people seem to have no idea how compromised their personal security is by being on Facebook.
i have a friend who says FB is the work of the devil. and "tweeter", as he calls it
like my husband and i say, people with cell phones can do everything but make a phone call lol
owl hubby calls it twatter sometmes
mld - just by being a registered account holder you are giving up personal data.
*mlf -- fingers won't find the right keys this am
i don't remember putting that much info in to get it in the first place but isn't that true for most social media places
that is what i was trying to say before. if someone googles a subject, the order, or even the content, is different based on the person's online habits. data is collected even based on your emails. there is no privacy any more
Hearing someone's voice on the phone is personal. Getting a text? Very impersonal.
cyber i always say i can spell i just cant type lol
i have seen ads that take a cue from my email. that is the most frightening to me.
agreed molly, i had to contact my brother once and my mom told me to text him? no cell phone here
owl isn't that nuts
hearing someone's voice on a cell, with the bad connections, and shouting, is just not the same as a good old phone call.
You could try using unbubble.eu for a search engine TO
i use avast safe zone and firefox. but it is hard to get around email. the most secure is the one that comes with cable internet.
but i believe one must use one's own name for it.
I've all but given up using e-mail
although I do use my work e-mail for some stuff, and just have a couple of e-mail accounts I use for registering stuff
Seeing someone's handwriting on a card or letter is personal. Hearing someone's voice on whatever phone communication works for you is personal. Digital communication seems cold and impersonal to me.
good luck with that. ever try asking for directions while driving? the usual response - after looking up from the cell - is don'tyou have GPS?" subtext: why are you bothering me?
And prone to misunderstandings :)
i cant even get into my email
hahaha someone close to me is a scientist and text is the preferred mode of daily communication.
sometimes the cell phones have lousy connection too
My work is probably half messaging and half conference/phone calls
but i do love text for connecting while in a loud public event.
oh yes owl you must text someone that is in the same room as you are:)
edifice is not there. must go before i type it one more time.
The other minor advantage is that it doesn't interrupt the other party
Or at least is less impactful
no, only if in the next room, fan. ;)
yeah because walking to them is so difficult lol
My wife likes to text me when we're both in the house
mool my mom does tht with my niece if she is upstairs
She likes sending me things to read
how nice of her mool:)
heh
Digital communication with someone who is in the same house with you is...to me...the saddest form of communication ever.
That and using your cellphone while in the bathroom. This is a NO, people!
hahaha i am just astounded at the people who feel they must answer the phone no matter what or where
Oh yes, that is disgusting TO
Exactly Judi. Because the last thing I want to hear is you peeing while you are talking to me.
I just called to say I !!!FLUSH!!! you.
I was first exposed to that in NYC when I was working at one of the Wall Street companies...couldn't believe it
:D
well you hear that on tv now often. i flinch every time.
And yes TO, I am also astounded at the people who will answer their cell phone wherever they are. Check your voice mail later, people.
we are like pavlov's dogs.
Wonder if Pavlov had a cat
no but shrodinger did. or not. :)
I have a T-Shirt to that effect TO :)
time to stock up before the deluge. if it were snow it would be a couple of feet.
have you noticed...in the old movies everyone always had a cigarette hanging out of their mouths - now it's a cell phone to their ear
I've been watching the series Stranger Things on Netflix, it's set in the eighties, there's a bunch of those sorts of things that stand out
No, but I have noticed that people walk through life with their face glued to their cell phone instead of noticing the beauty of the world around them. Sad.
Yeah, it's one of the few things that bother me about my wife. She prefers to look at her phone when we drive somewhere...I like to see what there is to see
30 to go...
guess I'm guilty of that sort of thing mool -- if we're on a road trip we've done a thousand times already, I've usually got my e-reader out.
do you get carsick on the ereader?
or do you have a protective cover...?
:)
no reading on twisty roads!
I will say they're good for plane trips
Lol
hey soo

I do like watching Puffin Rock with my daughter :)

which makes the 7...then make it plural
Onessho make decisions....Peri

peri do you have de7, de + person who is tearful?
Ones who make decisions...

I want to make potato pancakes (latkes) but I cannot find my mom's cookbook. I know it is here somewhere.
save some for me!
taking a break to look for said cookbook. bbs
will do
time for me to think about something for lunch
25...puff puff
Potato pancakes? Sound nice! I make stuff for breakfast, not sure if thers a name for them, with mashed potatoes, mixed with a beaten egg & minced onion. Delicious, but not particularly healthy.
Mmmmm I love potato latkes. Crispy on the outside.
One can't always be healthy. And really, if you're gonna be "bad" breakfast is a great time. Work it off the rest of the day. ;)
I finished the Rs! Call Ripley's!
Rmazing monk :)
I think I will finish all the Ds now.
I've completed the Ps :)
and the Zs
oh, and I and C apparently
CRIPZ...that's what I've completed
enough of this - going to list
Sheesh.... Looking at your profile pics, Champ, it's hard to believe you eat/do ANYTHING unhealthy! You are so fit & healthy & beautiful looking...
no shame in that nan
Lots of potato pancake recipes on the internet. They are great. Especially with sour cream.
and the first word missed? --- a plural, of course
would it be any other way nan?
YAY! Ds are done!
They're D-done
Duh-duh-duh - DONE (tune of Beethoven's 5th)
Or, the disco version, A Fifth of Beethoven
Fireworks!
Still no score in the hockey but I enjoy watching Zetterberg sooooooooooo much

fun clues nan
is soodle here?
potato croquettes. my mom made them, with leftover potaotes, parmesan, parsley, egg, cracker meal. i don't think you can buy cracker meal anymore.
Cracker meal, like most other things, is available on Amazon.
If you don't watch Big Bang Theory, do a google search on photographic memory
mc cormick makes some, but the old nabisco is long gone. i never could make them as well as she could, anyway
Watching the football game...went away for a bit. Soodle..you're very kind!
I think Soodle has a crush on you Champ, you cutie pie. : )
Ha! Are you watching the game?
Atlanta is looking awesome. I was pulling for the Packers. Would love to see Packers/Steelers here in Houston for the Superbowl. May be a pipe dream.
Atlanta is looking good so far! I'm rooting for Packers tho.
Go Pack!!
And much as I am not a Steelrs fan, I hope they knock New England out of the running. I am so sick of New England.
Disagree!
Pack needs some good mojo. My hubby is from a small town outside Pittsburgh. Given that my Texans are in the toilet, I gotta to Steelers.
I'm rooting for Steelers too Molly... for the same reason!
Well...New England has had a good run. It's someone else's turn. Although I admit the irony of rooting for the Steelers...they've had their share too.
Go Pats!

Hi scrabs!!

Thank you Lil. I was wondering about that clue.

Babble Blindness

Scrabs, you need to work on a vaccine for that.
But it's a brain issue. No cure except to take a break from the grid.

Zoom, you are more clever than I am. I could not figure out what "g letter h's" was.
I took it to mean 6
And you took it correctly. : D
Molly stopped clicking her heels and Atlanta scored again. This is just ugly.
No, I'm still clicking madly, but yes...ugly

What a day .. had to mop the kitchen floor 3 times. (1) cat drags in a half-dead bleeding mouse; (2) a half gallon of water fell out of the fridge; (3) dog threw up. This after waking up at 3:30 and no more sleep.
Hi follks!
wow ori. At least it was water
yes, could have been worse :D
Hello origami!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
Hi Min! Good, just tired. how are you?
Origami,the half gallon of water could have been used to clean up that mouse if it fell right after mouse incide4/5
I'm good too.Gave up on the grid & now just giving clues.
That would have been good! But, the bleeding-mouse incide4/5 happened at 4:30 am.
Ono a happy note, I think the mouse was OK. I trapped it and put it outside and it was gone a little while later.
Oh good! I am glad that you saved the mouse's life. Glad you are animal lover, even of rodents. I have never killed a mouse either. Fortunately I don't see too many of them
There are a lot of rats in my neighborhood. I catch them and release them in fields nearby. I am a such a sucker :-)
wow ori, you need to kick back
You are not a sucker origami. You are loving person who cares about animals. The animal I do not mind killing are bees, mosquitoes and spiders; but I do like most animals.
Hello 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid.
I'm with yoIf they get in my house, they die.u on the mosquitoes, Min.
*you, rather
something very strange happened to that post, but you get the drift :-)
hi min. i need one lousy st5 to finish.
I have three st5 words. Is it an st 5/10 that you need TO?
going now, have fun and ori i hope the rest of your day is way better.
I am far from finished so I probably won't be very helpful
Bye 72 Temple Owl. Hope to see U again soon in the chog
Good night, TO.
At least you have really clean floors now ORI
:D)
I could eat off of them.
well.. that might be taking it a little too far
Except that I'm eating home-made chicken, spinach & tortellini soup.
Hello rururocks!How are you doing? Welcome to the chog
hi minver.. one of my favorite people
I had crab cakes and truffled mac and cheese
Sounds yummy
Who? Me or Diane Lane?(J/K! I know you meant Ms. Lane)
no you minver.. you are such a great human being
Thank U rururocks. Thought U were commenting on icon.
I wish I could be so kind to everyone like you.. but that's not my nature .. i'm a cynic
Oh believe me, I have a not so kind streak in me, but I do not show it too often.Only person I show it to is husband.
I think there is kindness & cynicism in everyone rururocks
I think there really is no reason NOT to be kind to people
that could be.. I seem to have a very cynical streak.. but I am also generous and kind to my friends
Ru is actually kind and thoughtful.
that's because I bribed you with wine Ori :D
I am pretty easy :D
lol.. I'll say
what caused the dog to throw up ori.. do you know/
Even believe Donald Trump is kind to people he wants to be kind to.Too bad it isn't most people though rururocks.
I think he was eating too fast.
Even Hitler loved his dog, right?
oh.. I don't know about that ori
Trump is a raging Narcissist Minver.. he's probably kind to people for a purpose
his speech was horrible.. negative, dark.. and full of falsehoods
I'm heading off to finish laundry and some crochet. Enjoy the puzzle folks!
bye ori
I agree, Ru.
don't slip on the floor
That would be the perfect end of the day!
Marched yesterday for all the people he is not so kind to.
good for you minver.. doren went to DC to march.. i'm proud of her
I wanted to go to DC. I was on a wait list for the bus, but I did not get on so I marched in New York City instead. It was a great turnout and the weather was "kind" to us too
I think it doesn't really matter where you marched.. but that you expressed your opinion

hi ruru, Minveryotk, Quiltergirl et al. I am trying to play on the iPod which randomly switches screens or logs me off. just trying to plow thru
Dite
I too am playing on the iPad ,mine tries to change the words for me. Fun
frustrating bugs
Hi Bugsaw! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log.
Good Evening Everyone! (Quilter girl puts WORDS in the chat log; I put chat in the word box! No wonder no one replies!)
Hello Nef! How are you dling today? Welcome to the chog
I'm doing fine; trying to stay out of trouble. I've spent a good portion of my day trying not to put my hand in the crazy on Facebook (haven't been totally successful at that; but definitely trying not to stir the pot too much!)
How about you, Minver? Staying out of most trouble so far?
Funny you should say that.I am on FaceBook now reading all the politcal drama.I have democrat and republican FB friends. Interesting to see such different political views.
Same here, Minver. I belong to 1 private group that even though we all have different political & religious beliefs; we can all agree to disagree respectfully. Not so with other people though! Some are very volatile!
It is midnight and I need to go to bed. I leave you with a story of clues in profile. Goodnight Babblers! Sleep well!
Good Night Minver. Take Care & sleep sound!

I'm sorry; but I can't stay up any later today; I haven't even made it to half way yet but can't stay awake!
Happy Babbling everyone! And Good Night!
