5:14 am

yo hohoho Fm. Have a good week-end Mva

5:16 am

are there any ph words in the grid?

5:16 am

no ph words

5:17 am

Hows it going hodag, are you all set for christmas?

5:17 am

ty trick

Morning all. Someone upgraded Explorer to 7.0 when I wasn't looking. Hmmmm

all the puzzle done, was a toughie!

5:18 am

matty, nice to see you!

Ditto :D

5:18 am

Congrats, CyborgScrabbler!

5:18 am

yes Fm. just have to wrap gifts and bake cookies.

5:19 am

don't use ie matty, its insecure, unreliable, slow, and doesn't follow web standards

5:19 am

Hi hohoho matty.

5:19 am

i'm an opera fan myself but most use firefox these days

5:19 am

I've only ever use IE and have not had any problems

5:20 am

honestly i'm a web developer, don't use ie lol

I use Firefox for most stuff, but Babble 'blinks' on Mozilla

Tricky ... IE7 now addresses all security problems, you cannot write outside of the temporary directory

5:21 am

yea babble has some odd javascripting - i have to use konqueror for full support

5:22 am

you guys have lost me !!lol

5:23 am

i've not tried ie7 as i don't have any windows systems anymore to fiddle with, so can't comment there but i'd be very surprised if its reached the standard set by such as mozilla yet

5:23 am

axed

5:23 am

!@%#%#&*

5:25 am

badsanta bad Snata!!!!

5:25 am

lol

IE7 is great, it now has a taskbar for quick swapping between sites, a refresh all feature and thumbnail view of all open sites ... relative addressing of graphics stored on the C drive anywhere other than the Temporary files directory is blocked, just like firefox

5:26 am

nah, just an inadvertencty that reminds us periodically that we are human.

5:26 am

apart from global refreshing, opera's had those features for years :-)

5:27 am

Hi ho Babble,human is good...lol

exactly, IE7 is up there with the big boys again :-)

5:28 am

one thing to remember though is that explorer is both a web and file browser, and many of windows' tools use it as a rendering engine. thus regardless of how locked down it may be, it still provides system level access to your file system. whats more windows gives the default user full administration by default which is a huge security risk in itself

Fonts are different - and it will just take me a bit to get used to the new interface.

Tough puzzle, or is it just me?

5:30 am

Are those the only choices?

5:31 am

me too matty...lol

5:31 am

It's not that easy matty but the small one usually do make us work.

5:32 am

browser helper objects (ie's toolbar plugin layer) can also be exploited almost infinately due to poor design. many 'adult' dialers and zombie trojens install themselves transparently as browser helper objects for ie

5:32 am

and no, its not an easy board

Tenge is missing from the puzzle solutions ... Tenge is the monetary unit of Kazakhstan

5:33 am

all countries seem to be missing too - is that accidental?

5:34 am

how is it you can know so many words and yet none of them work???

5:34 am

as do nationalities

it has pound, dollar and yen, wonder why not tenge?

5:36 am

The enable dictionary is arbitrary; there is no other answer. Reference to that point has been made in a number of places at the Friend of Babble links below.

5:37 am

remeber that enable is not the ultimate word database (otherwise the grids would prob be about 600+ every day)!

5:37 am

fair point

5:37 am

though i might at least find a good 100 at that, lol

Enable is a published wordlist and Tenge is part of it

Gosh, it looks like I need the list already. Sigh

5:38 am

speaking of words - any clues for the second ge5,14 please?

5:39 am

nobody wants to answer ....sucks to be me~~~~~~~

Answer what?

Tricky ... it is what you would call a collective of gaseous creatures who live in little lamps lol

5:40 am

i was waiting for someone to clue

5:41 am

cheers, i'll work on that

5:41 am

love your icon ana..

5:45 am

Great so far...coffee is brewing. It's "cool" here in South Florida. That will help give me the Christmas Spirit.

5:46 am

Good for you,how cool is it?

5:48 am

anyone have a clue for the ae6?

5:48 am

5:48 am

ae6 = ae + eat

ae + word for formal dining

ae6 ... latin meal

5:49 am

5:49 am

thanks dorky and sparkly!

5:49 am

I would to. HI HOHOHO ch.

5:49 am

oops sorry don't know what i was thinking there =)

5:49 am

there are 2 in8 -- one means someone who is too poor to pay, so the county or city picks up the tab.

5:50 am

the other is the same only with a consonant for the last letter instead of a vowel

5:50 am

thanks ch1212, much appreciated

in8 ... hip girl with man

5:51 am

short leave time for more hot choc..

NE1 need a clue?

5:59 am

6:00 am

ah, I see! :)

6:01 am

i could use as many in clues as you have, lol

6:02 am

i don't have any :-(

6:02 am

6:02 am

Thanks for the offer, Cyborg.... I am going to continue plodding along.

IN8 - hip lady with gent & IN8 - hip lady in denum

6:05 am

Good morning all. Cyborg, that clue is clueless to me.

TE8 - what babies use rings for

6:05 am

ty cyborg i'll get thinking..

6:06 am

in8 is very similar to word for native peoples

IN8 - first two letters are opposite of out

6:07 am

lol

6:07 am

lol

6:07 am

i'm back ahhhhhhh this taste good, Hiya Merh

and the lady WAS the name of a princess

6:08 am

And a sense of humor, too.

6:08 am

sorry for the h Merk....lol

6:09 am

mixing

I can't find the ae...I've seen the clue, but it's not helping.

6:10 am

cold meds will do it every time!!!!

ae6 - latin lady north-east ... the lady being the same princess

6:10 am

ae6 - ae + you **** at a ***ing table..

6:10 am

ae + d4/5

6:10 am

ae + loud noise + vowel

Thanks guys!

6:11 am

no problem - how about the na 8

6:11 am

yay got the second in8, ty

6:12 am

now for the denim hmm

6:13 am

6:13 am

6:14 am

lol babblerabble, sounds like a plan

na8 - sodium ecstacy object

6:14 am

LOL Rabble - I think you should! Gather a crowd if you can.

6:14 am

6:15 am

Get someone to videotape it.

6:15 am

holy sh** babble

6:15 am

Their response might be a hoot.

A round of applause would be in order as well.

send her flowers for the great performance lol

6:16 am

stuck in a moment of time~~~~~~~~~

6:16 am

I need coffee. I didn't get the sodium ecstasy clue either ... though I did get the in 8s.

6:17 am

This is a weird grid, in case you didn't notice.

6:17 am

na8 ends in the hand from the adams family

6:17 am

na + vowel + obscure item

chemical symbol for sodium, and a vowel

6:17 am

good day all.

6:18 am

also sounds and looks similar to the opposite of something - ie if it isn't something, its...

6:18 am

howdy HoHoHo Alien

6:18 am

It's always harder when its by itself, nothing to build on, no way to get the ABC order.

6:19 am

6:19 am

Got it, thanks.

6:20 am

6:22 am

So that leaves me one more 8 to find. I haven't even looked for where it is yet.

te8 , what a baby uses a ring for

6:23 am

Good Morning all, got the na8 and te8 from clues, thanks, need more help with the in8 please

6:23 am

Now I get it.

6:24 am

Peri, someone gave a great clue earlier about someone who has to live off welfare because they are needy.

evening all... nice small grid today. :)

6:25 am

Hiya Peri.

6:25 am

in + deceased british princess + chivalrous man, other 8 ends with dna

6:25 am

thanks so much Merk, didn't see that clue,

6:25 am

As with the other day's grid, that suffix places a significant part in some of the longer words.

6:25 am

thanks dorky, got all the 8's now

6:25 am

Yo HoHoHo MRP.

7:05 am

Tenge is in the dictionary but Babble says it isn't. Anyone else hit this problem?

babble is just not hip hydra!

7:07 am

Yes, many times. Too, quite often the grid takes words that are NOT in the dictionary.

7:07 am

a lot of my words aren't in the dictionary - usually because i don't spell them right :-)

7:07 am

That and my computer scanner are driving me crazy. I scanned three chapters of someone's book, which I have to edit this weekend, and it's all gone wonky. I despair!

Lickety just handed me a scrumptious asparagus, olive and mushroom anomaly.... (HELP)

I spent several hours in the Macy's women's bathroom one year, about 1977 or so. It was a lounge area, with chairs to sit on, etc. I had several hours to kill and didn't want to sit in a coffee shop. It was quite interesting. Turns out total strangers are quite forthcoming in the Macy's bathrooms!

10:11 am

Enomis: na + vowel + th5,8

WTG another!!

11:27 am

ty - I seemed to have a blank spot about building from the left column today

11:27 am

ah. well, the 8's are almost the same as each other - one means without means. the other ends in the second vowel instead of a t. the 7 is either of those words minus their last letter.

11:28 am

any minute now family will descend wondering when I'm going to start on the next meal :(

11:28 am

LOL - i hear you another - I made soup for tonite early on.

11:59 am

hi all

11:59 am

at the bottom of this page, there is a list of friends of babble, other sites. in that list is a page called lickety's babble clues - open that, and it lists the words with the first 2 letters and points

11:59 am

hi feather

11:59 am

girlfirday - very vowel friendly. all but 2 letters 1st and 4th

12:00 pm

lol, it is! the worm and its pl

12:00 pm

hi feather

12:00 pm

2nd ge5/14?

12:00 pm

hi featherbee!

12:00 pm

miles, if you go to the section of links on the bottom right, the two that will really help are angelsong's page and lickety's

12:00 pm

tapeworm? oh no - I don't remember how to spell that!

12:00 pm

ok, to the list..

12:00 pm

okay, got the six

12:00 pm

i'm pretty proud of myself....down to 31 left and no list yet!

12:01 pm

i'm sure i'll be getting it out soon though

12:01 pm

thanks,

12:01 pm

and the 7, by just monkey typing, trying all vowels. Thanks!

12:01 pm

I wait till I have 3/4 done, so I hit 19 left and now feel I can go to the list... self-imposed so my brain keeps working

12:02 pm

I am going to the list with 16 left...

12:02 pm

good job wolvie and aloy!

12:02 pm

wow, wolvie... good going!

12:02 pm

thanks featherbee! :) For some reason the links are on the bottom left for me. Do Pro players see a different interface? I see a T-shirt ad on the bottom right

12:04 pm

no, i'm just backwards

12:06 pm

the difference between pro and not pro is the little icon, and the tile stats, which disappear after your first two weeks

12:06 pm

ahhhh....I see

12:06 pm

liketysplit's page is awesome

12:06 pm

lol, yep

12:07 pm

i don't undertstand the checkbox...

12:07 pm

miles, do you have firefox?

12:07 pm

that just means it's been verified?

12:07 pm

that's to check off the words you have. if you enter them in the top box, and click add, it checks the right word

12:08 pm

NE 5/12, please

hi people

4:28 pm

Is the te 8 a compound word?

4:28 pm

Hi smooth

4:28 pm

No harp - but think babies

angb, are you familiar with vicoria university in wellington?

4:29 pm

thanks

4:29 pm

I have just finished my masters with victoria - but I live in Auckland s0 only visited the uni once in my studies

4:29 pm

Got them. Thanks. Those were tough.

very nice... I've always wanted to go to victoria for my masters

4:30 pm

Why victoria particularly?

well, I'd like to do international relations, and i think it would be great to leave the US for that. Victoria looks like a great university, and in a National capitol with a small population... I think it would make things a little more accesable

4:31 pm

I have to admit I did my masters there cause it was the shortest one in NZ

lol

4:32 pm

Wellington is a real accessible city. Good social life - city easy to get in and out of - good public transport - but windy weather!

plus it would be a great way to get me to NZ for a year. :)

4:32 pm

Believe though they have a good international relations department from memory

after looking at that department in particular, it looked like it was a good program

4:33 pm

We Aucklanders avoid Wellington cause it is the capital - Auckland is the commercial centre of NZ

4:33 pm

When you are my age smooth - you don't really want a long masters ...

I think I also like that wellington is just on the souther tip of the island... it seems it would be very easy to cross to the southern island from there, as well

4:34 pm

*good happy Saturday all! I am slowly working toward a finish...

4:34 pm

I think we should contribute to pappa

4:34 pm

to pappa's boat ticket...

yeah stid! I like thgat idea! :-D

4:35 pm

sorry. Cut my finger and the bandaid makes my mother's keyboard even stranger than normal

buy my pictures... that'll help me get to NZ... and probably lead to great pictures, as well. lol

4:35 pm

we are baking today!

4:35 pm

4:36 pm

Is that what babble does to you? Hear voices?

ya gotta be careful of the voices Jean. sometimes they lead you astray.

5:57 pm

not to mention covent garden and la scala...altho i was at la scala for a concert

10:28 pm

Is there anyone who has not finished yet and needs any clues?

10:29 pm

Well, I am going to check out soduko

10:29 pm

i take it by the silence - everyone has finished?

10:29 pm

*sudoku

10:29 pm

silence is golden

10:30 pm

nope -- still have 28 to go, just busy chatting with hootowl

10:30 pm

according to sir thomas more silence implies consent

10:35 pm

It is better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak and remove all doubt

10:38 pm

Well, I guess my help is not needed so off I go. Nite all

10:42 pm

phandmd,did you leave yet. I could use some help still

10:44 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the in 7/40 word please?

7/40 IN + what you do with a spade + half an em

10:45 pm

if you have the first in8, just drop the last vowel

10:45 pm

ne 5/12 please??

10:46 pm

The ne 5/12 word is unerne*** talechase.

10:47 pm

Does anybody have a clue for that 2nd in 8/55 word?

10:47 pm

uh... not seeing it. i think i'm dumb

10:48 pm

think imporverished for the in 8/55

10:48 pm

ne 5/12 the same as below it is below or underne***.

10:49 pm

thanks!

10:49 pm

Isn't impoverished word the first in 8/55 or is there another one talechaser. I need the 2nd in8/55 word.

10:49 pm

onlt 3 to go

8/55 IN + deceased princess + polite male

10:49 pm

it's the second on my list

10:49 pm

think native to an area

10:50 pm

Go talechaser go be a wordchaser and then you can help me finish!

10:50 pm

for the second in 8/55

10:50 pm

let me try this again.... for the other in 8/55 think native to an area

10:50 pm

The difference between the two in8/55's is the last letter -- the first ends with the 2nd vowel, the second ends in a cons so the last half of the word is ge4

10:50 pm

Oh, then I guess I need that first in 8/55 word then.

10:52 pm

yay fireworks!!!!

10:52 pm

nite all!!!!

10:52 pm

im 5/14 anyone?

10:52 pm

last half of the first is ge4 that relates to DNA

10:52 pm

Congratulations shorty on your fireworks!Good for U

10:53 pm

Hello flosey! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

11:42 pm

Ah, dear old Imagen messing up again, flo

11:43 pm

11:43 pm

yep Stid -- he took his first steps today - real honest to goodness step - step - step - step - step towards his mom before he went boom! onto his butt -- He is a very proud boy as a result

11:43 pm

hi all!

11:43 pm

oh sweet, woulf -- nothing like the thrill of those first real steps!

11:44 pm

*happy walking baby feelings* (thinking about buying stock in those companies that make baby locks for cabinets and doors)

11:44 pm

hi fran!

11:44 pm

hey greywoulf - it is indeed a proud moment - I remember them well

11:44 pm

hey wolfie, isn't it cool? i remember my son's first steps. he walked out into the middle of the room at my sister-in-law's house with the whole family around and when he realized he had nothing to hold on to he just stood there and cried.

11:44 pm

hi jilli!

11:44 pm

especially coupled with all the climbing he has been doing -- he decided to demonstrate that he can climb over the gates today as well

11:45 pm

LOL, Fran

11:45 pm

11:45 pm
