Good moning, Babblers. :) my brloved gets moved out of I.C.U today!! Yaa! They beat down the R-coli, the urinary infection, and her blood sugaer is under control again. She has not eaten any food for a week, but my girl is getting better! :)

9:12 am

crosshair

E-coli*

9:13 am

penquis

great to hear, crossy!!....

9:22 am

crosshair

Darn tyos. :/

9:22 am

crosshair

Typos*

9:23 am

penquis

don't worry about them....your meaning was clear....that is all that is important....

9:24 am

LuvWordGames

Great news Crossy!

9:25 am

crosshair

Sigh...it was closer than I wanted it to be. Scared the hell out of me, but she is stubbon. I had to drag her out of bed, dress her, but could not get her to the zJeep so had an ambulance come. My stubbon lady.

9:26 am

crosshair

Stubborn

9:26 am

penquis

well she is lucky to have you....

9:27 am

crosshair

And I am lucky to have her. We have saved each other over the years.

9:27 am

penquis

nice!...

9:28 am

crosshair

She dragged me in and because of her my cancer(s) were found in time. Do it was just my turn. :)

9:28 am

crosshair

So*

9:29 am

penquis

well you are both lucky to have each other ...

9:29 am

crosshair

Love is not toses, it is not, things--it is being there when the shait gets real.

9:29 am

crosshair

Roses*

9:29 am

penquis

if you can be cowier, why can't you be sowier?...

9:30 am

crosshair

Not sure. Enable is fussy as the best of times. :)

9:30 am

penquis

for sure...

9:32 am

crosshair

It would be nice if Dr. G could dump a few new dictionaries into this thing. :)

9:32 am

penquis

a different dictionary would be nice....

9:32 am

mael

happy to hear that about your lady, crossy!

9:33 am

crosshair

Ty, mael. She is already fussing to go home.

9:34 am

crosshair

She could not stand the tea there, so I snuck her in a cuppa today. :)

9:34 am

mael

very nice, I'm sure that tasted like heaven comparatively :)

9:35 am

crosshair

Oh yes. Many things have changed for the better over the years, but hospital food/drinks are not one of them.

9:37 am

crosshair

I was run over by a car in 1980, and had to spend a tad over three weeks in the hospital, and I will never forget how horrid the food was. :)

9:39 am

crosshair

But they put me back together again, so there is that. :)

9:39 am

penquis

yes, lol...

9:41 am

crosshair

That and the gods decided that the car was to be a Volkswagon Beetle and not a Kenworth hauling a lload of logs. :)

9:42 am

crosshair

Cannot wait to get my girl home. :)

9:43 am

penquis

i bet! and i am sure she can't wait to go home as well...

9:43 am

saanichcat

Re new dictionaries and word lists. Publishers of these, mostly book publishers, are having hard times. Dictionaries takes years and years and a huge amount of money to produce. The reason why we do not have better word lists is COST, not unwillingness.

9:43 am

crosshair

Anyhoo, I have hogged the chat enough.

9:44 am

crosshair

Agreed, saan, but there are better things than Enable out there that are skready published, a nice Websters, for example.

9:45 am

crosshair

Already*

9:45 am

saanichcat

I use Websters. anyone can do that.

9:46 am

crosshair

But I guess putting it into Babble would be a bit of s job.

9:46 am

saanichcat

as for enable, you would have to talk to Dr God

9:47 am

crosshair

I am just blue skying here, saan. I do not seriously expect Dr. G to tear Babble apart to update it at this late date.

9:48 am

crosshair

I am just grateful that he keeps a legacy game like this going.

9:48 am

penquis

amen to that!...

9:49 am

crosshair

Most devs would not these days.

9:49 am

saanichcat

Totally agree!

9:49 am

Good Enough

Agreed! I started paying when I was a stay at home mom. I went back to work and now I am getting ready to retire!

9:50 am

penquis

nice!

9:50 am

crosshair

Tempis fugit (sp) I came on board in 2008. :)

9:52 am

penquis

me, too, crossy...

9:53 am

crosshair

Tempus*

9:55 am

crosshair

Lol, both dogs are sprawed out on the couch snoring away.

9:55 am

crosshair

Sprawled*
