2:31 am

Hi Babblelanders! I seem to be 1 "y" short of a full load. Can someone with smarter monkeys please clue me so I can go to bed?

2:31 am

2:31 am

FROGGY! how are tadpole and ribbit?

2:31 am

hi frog! yo4/10, yelp of pain with an extra letter

2:31 am

Doing swimmingly. Tadpole's around 17 pounds.

2:31 am

2:32 am

Infrequent peeking fits with our posting schedule. :)

2:32 am

frog tacos sound amazingly unappetiazing

Excellent sprite, will see you all tomorrow, play nicely now and enjoy the mini grid, bye!

2:33 am

2:33 am

2:33 am

That was a feel good grid I guess. Bing, bang boom, done.

6:08 am

i suppose it was lori

6:09 am

its just u and me here I believe

6:09 am

Usually on the short grids, that's how it goes.

6:10 am

i think that was the easiest one yet...

6:10 am

I whipped that one off in jig time, so tomorrows grid will likely be a marathon.

6:10 am

BTe <POMPOM TOSS> for LoriP

6:10 am

6:10 am

LOLOL I love that carlee. Makes my day. Still dry on your piece of the planet?

I was raised on the old scale. I have to convert, because celsius doesn't mean jack squat to me.... LOL :-)

6:16 am

I was a tweeny....and on US border... we do both

Temps in the 70's are fine with me. Not too hot, not too cold.

6:16 am

I had inches and Fahrenheit one year...next year metric

I was in grade 4 when they switched, so it was too late for me.

6:17 am

8:55 am

8:55 am

8:56 am

I am just starting--watched cable news and the Weather Channel while I read the paper.

8:56 am

my cable keeps going out this is all i have lol

9:07 am

aww maaaaan, a bitty grid

9:08 am

Yes, I am bummed too, hurshy. I like big ones to work on all day, between chores.

9:08 am

hopefully tomorrow will be better

9:09 am

I agree. But I do have lots to accomplish this weekend.

9:09 am

ra5/20 anyone? i'll even take a fi4/8 with it if needed!

9:10 am

i'm thrilled with the grid size! :)

9:10 am

I am looking for you & me, mom23.

9:10 am

hah, featherbee, you can finish this in one breastfeeding session.

9:11 am

well, no, cause then i only have one hand, which slows me down! he's napping in hte bouncer right now, so i'm going to pound out as many as i can

9:11 am

hey feather -- how's that wee one? congrats and good wishes! a kiss from me in the sweet spot, just under the ear :)

9:11 am

ty mom!

9:11 am

Aha, ra5,20=ra + high-score tile + pl ending

9:11 am

time is short, he's snuffling already

9:12 am

Don't you love the way newborns smell?

9:12 am

ty scrab

9:14 am

Elmer Fudd is disappointed that "wosy" is not a word--as in the wose flowers smell wosy.

9:14 am

lol

9:14 am

'parently they never heard of a mosh pit

9:15 am

Yes, I tried mosh as well--DENIED!

9:15 am

I noticed that one too...which disappointed me, because it also eliminated the potential for "moshy" lol

9:15 am

And the skin condition, ra4, cannot be made into an adj either.

9:16 am

well, that's probably for the best...I'm not sure I'd want to think too much about that as an adjective lol

9:16 am

the dreaded 14... not that it means much...

9:17 am

hi all

9:18 am

I'm shocked that I didn't notice si4/4 right off though...course, if this had been tomorrow's puzzle, maybe I'd have caught it ;)

9:19 am

aren't mohs something science-y?

9:19 am

aha scrabbler -- tks so much -- ~f~i~r~e~w~o~r~k~s~ for me. now i must do something useful having finished so early in the day. bummer! happy babbling, kids. 'til the morrow!

9:19 am

ohms are...

9:19 am

Mohs scale of mineral hardenss. But it's Mr Mohs name.

9:19 am

lol, maybe that's it hursh

9:20 am

nope look vi knows stuff

9:20 am

ah, the minerals too! that's it, i always liked geology

9:20 am

Stuff. Nothing useful, admittedly, but Stuff.

9:21 am

oh man. doug's going to do an errand, and he said "burb" as he was leaving. as in brb.

9:21 am

oh please, let's not start a useless knowledge competition, cause you know i'd cream you.

9:22 am

Well, the problem with a useless knowledge competition is that one man's useless knowledge is another man's vital wisdom.

9:22 am

hi all. don't get the ra 5 clue. don't know about the high tile

9:22 am

geology is CLEARLY usefuller than animaniacs songs

9:23 am

Ooh, trash talking between Hurshy & Vicuna now.

9:23 am

Well, I'll agree with you there, hursh!

9:23 am

unless you're a 5 year old that is

This what you call trash talking, Scrab? I'll show you trash talking:

9:23 am

mag...how about I'd **ther be wearing **ans on a *aturday?

9:23 am

even then it's not useful, it's just fun

9:23 am

ra + high-score tile there + I am not saying this in j**t.

9:23 am

hey magzel -- high tile refers to # of points if that helps

9:23 am

9:32 am

9:36 am

10:09 am

Hi Jane

10:09 am

dressing a newborn is like putting clothes on jello

10:09 am

see you all tomorrow

10:09 am

why bother beyond the diaper? it's summer.

10:10 am

Yes, they are so unhelpful, but at least they aren't fighting as older kids do

10:10 am

it's cool enough here he needs more!

10:10 am

two t's...one's a hat and one's a moron

10:10 am

daniel's wearing a sweatshirt, and i have sweatpants on. it's lovely.

10:10 am

It is only 60-ish here. We are going to have a cool weekend--high both days of 68-70. And last night got down into the 40's!

10:11 am

Aha, I readily understood the moron clue, as I specialize in being a doofus.

10:12 am

lol...well, everyone needs a hobby, I guess ;)

10:12 am

I must speak with Nut about the latest Babblecast. I did NOT tell her to spray her yellow jacket colony.

10:13 am

LOL, raevyn--I am quite the goofball and my friends love me for it.

10:13 am

i need to catch up on the casts.

10:13 am

The Babblecast site has changed--new longer podcasts now!

10:13 am

i've heard up to 11

10:14 am

scrab, do you have the solo s in the corrner

10:14 am

that s is sn4/6

10:14 am

One left--an S, probably something simple.

10:14 am

Yep--got that one. I need one from the first column.

10:15 am

ah, i only have 3/4 there too

10:15 am

Any sm words?

10:15 am

1

10:15 am

feather...that's the one I learned from playing EQ2 back in the day...it's part of the name for one of the starter hunting areas

10:15 am

no list for me yet, dunno

10:15 am

morning.. yes scrabs sm4/9

10:15 am

sm 4/9

10:15 am

I think I know what it is...

10:15 am

and thanks for your h elp last night... i did complete listless and you were my major cheerleader

10:15 am

Got it, darn little rascally sm4!

10:16 am

got it too

10:16 am

i am being particularly dull-witted this morning. cannot find the an5 but don't want clues ... yet!

10:16 am

Yahooo Doren! I left when you were on the phone with your son.

10:16 am

ahah! got it.... fireworks

10:17 am

congrats

10:17 am

well that's a ridiculous ho word! the ho4/12, lol

10:17 am

yipee dorens

10:17 am

Yippee Doren! You're clearly not dull-witted!

10:17 am

yes,, scrabs. he is the one who flunked out of school years ago and is now going to harvard extension school.... called very excited about his scholarhip/loan package

10:17 am

And, feather, you need to pl that ridiculous ho4!

10:17 am

yep, done already

10:17 am

Great for him, Doren!

10:18 am

So there is hope for my 17 yr old nephew that is a high school drop-out?

10:18 am

yup -- he is my middle child ! in spades (brilliant, talented older brother and breathakiingly beautiful little sister -- but he is the best and sweetest, and of course no slouch with brains either)

10:18 am

Hey, no Lickety video today!

10:18 am

no? well, I'll dance for you

10:19 am

Yes, this middle nephew is the brightest of the 3, but a sad, lost, angry boy.

10:19 am

and yes there is great hope for your nephew. he needs to get a great girlfriend (which is what David did...she is a HS englishs teacher)

10:19 am

Put on your tap shoes, Doren.

10:20 am

I worry terribly about my 3 nephews--alcoholic Dad, overwhelmed Mom.

10:20 am

and she is the one who found babble, showed him, they told me and the rest if history. He won't chat or use list.... thinks that's cheating. he prefers playing scrabble and getting 500 points... uses all 7 letters at least once each game

10:20 am

oh, alcoholic dad puts extra trouble in the mix

10:20 am

do they live near you scrabs?

10:20 am

Good for him, and her!

10:21 am

It is quite complicated, Doren.

10:21 am

wow, down to 7, no list and avoiding watching chat clues

10:22 am

see a lot of that in my job.... kids need a good adult they can open up to

10:22 am

go feather!

10:23 am

Come on, feather, you can do it, but will need a monkey for a few words.

10:24 am

yeah, still sitting at 7 now

10:24 am

not going to ask for clues, these 7 could conceivably last me all day

10:26 am

I think I know what digital camera I am going to get..Canon Powershot A560--anyone have it, or other recommedations?

10:27 am

don't know, but you can check www.cnet.com for good reviews

10:27 am

mine is a digital slr, so i don't know about the others

10:28 am

Feather, I got help from the chat, but did not use the list.

10:28 am

I went to CNET and got advice. I love that site!

10:29 am

getting ready for lunch time. i'll sit and pick at the last 7 while nursing!

10:29 am

i know, it's a very good tech review site

10:29 am

With kids the SLR cameras are the way to go, but I want to spend < $150.

10:29 am

yep, no way to do that with slr!

10:31 am

My existing memory card--will it fit in my new camera, or are there different sizes? (My current camera landed in the lake at the ADK's)

10:31 am

My memory card is intact with pics, fortunately!

10:31 am

there are different kinds, SD, compact flash, and a couple others

10:32 am

Memory Cards are fantastically resilient... I've put several through the wash before... on more than one occasion :P

10:33 am

I am so lucky! The pics I took on vacation were on there, and my old ones are on the PC. But, the one I have, will it work in a new camera, or do they come in different sizes for different cameras?

10:33 am

Oh, I have an SD, 512MB.

10:33 am

There's about 4 common types of memory card... SD being the most common.

10:34 am

Then probably 80% of the cameras on the market will use it Scrabbler :)

10:35 am

Fuji uses the xD cards almost exclusively.. same with sony and MemoryStick, or Kodak and CompactFlash. Almost everyone else uses SD.

10:35 am

Fuji uses the xD cards almost exclusively.. same with sony and MemoryStick, or Kodak and CompactFlash. Almost everyone else uses SD.

10:35 am

I am looking at the Canon Powershot A560--looks good for my needs and $.

10:37 am

You're safe... it takes an SD card :)

10:38 am

All Canons and Panasonics do, I believe

10:39 am

OK, thanks, Duck. I have been checking around for details and couldn't find that answer. 512MB is actually a small card these days.

10:40 am

Aye, but still quite useful in a camera :) When you're recording video, not so much... but 512 still holds a whopping amount of photos.

10:42 am

OK, I am reviewing memory cards after a Google search....I have learned a lot, TY, Duck.

10:43 am

NP :) *adjusts his King Geek crown slightly*

10:43 am

I bought a $90 5 MP Oregon Scientific camera in 6/06 that was on sale--very impulsively, so I had not done any research.

10:44 am

Hey, have you takedn the Nerd/Dork/Geek test yet--go to http://www.okcupid.com/tests/993503099 0046738815/Nerd-Geek-or-Dork-

10:44 am

In all honesty, I've never been much of a fan of reading about a camera to make a buying decision.. I usually go into Radio Shack and play with them.. make sure it's comfortable in your hand.. make sure the controls and on-screen menu actually make sense... and of course, make sure it takes decent photos :P

10:45 am

I haven't been a member of okcupid in ages... heh

10:45 am

I am 92% nerd, 50% geek and 20% dork.

10:45 am

>>>>>>>>>>>>FIREWORKS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

10:47 am

button, did you finish without help or use lickety. i have only gotten 35 words on my own. i think i have to go to lickety.

10:47 am

oy!!! i'm all dork!

10:48 am

I got 49 words on my own and used the list for the last 7.....

10:49 am

49, nice. i am pretty happy with 35.

10:49 am

26. Do you own any seasons of television shows on tape/disc? .... Who the heck doesnt!?

10:49 am

26. Do you own any seasons of television shows on tape/disc? .... Who the heck doesnt!?

10:50 am

that is good...this is the best I have done without the list

10:50 am

yahoo Buttonman!

10:50 am

... did I just stutter? :P

10:51 am

Hi Nut--I just took the test again--82 % nerd, 21% geek, and 47% dork. And I am quite proud of my scores, in fact, disappointed that I didn't score higher on the nerd portion.

10:51 am

Your PC sputtered, Duck, but you didn't.

10:51 am

i'm so dork, the dorks are jealous

10:52 am

Nut, when did I tell you to spray your yellow jacket colony? I listened to Episode 11 and I believe that I was falsey accused of trying to place you in danger.

10:52 am

LOL, Nut--I am so proud of your dorkiness!

10:53 am

welp scrabs...i can't be 100 percent sure i gues...but i'm pretty sure.

10:53 am

course...its ren i gotta worry about anyway

10:54 am

i'm sitting here patiently waiting for episode 13 to successfully upload

10:55 am

For the record... 56 % Nerd, 47% Geek, 21% Dork

10:55 am

I am a well balanced Nerd/Geek hybrid :P

10:56 am

Very balanced, Duck!

10:57 am

guess i'm imbalanced

hi everyone

10:58 am

I still maintain I am more Geek than Nerd though.. I must have answered something wrong ;)

10:58 am

hey tnt

10:58 am

hey toady

10:58 am

Hi Toadette--how are you feeling?

talked to husband again today. its about 120 degrees in Kuwait

I'm feeling good. wishing I was sleeping on a regular schedule. but I guess I don't get to do that for the next 18 years

11:00 am

camp arifjan toad?

I think so. he left on Tuesday night

11:00 am

It seems I'm being summoned away for several hours... 28 down, 28 to go... have a great day everyone :)

11:00 am

no, once they turn 2 or 3ish you can sleep pretty regularly...until you get the silly idea to have another and start all over again!

11:00 am

i sent a lot of cookies there.

11:00 am

bye ducky

11:01 am

he he he feather

11:01 am

11:01 am

Good morning all you geeks, nerds, and dorks. I'm just back after a week of entertaining grandchildren and I haven't a clue where I am in Babbleland--IS this babbleland today?

11:01 am

did you know that in sleep research, "sleeping through the night" means from midnight to 5am?

I go about 2 days sleeping not at all, but then have one day of really good sleep. that was last night. we'll see how late I am up tonight. Couple of nights ago I didn't go to bed until 330... and with Simon not even here yet... ugh

11:02 am

oh dear, i never sleep through the night then.

11:02 am

yeah, i'd wake up around 3am to pee that last month and not be able to go back to sleep for an hour or so

hello nut, all

oh my goodness. I am such a ditz I just realized who I was talking to! HOW ARE YOU FEATHER?

11:02 am

11:03 am

lol, hi toad

11:03 am

okay, I checked it a few days ago and read your birth story. haven't checked it since then

11:04 am

one's sleeping right now and the other's eating, getting ready for his nap in a few, so doing a few words in between

been trying to keep myself busy with the entertainment gone.... well, I do still have the cats keeping me entertained.

11:16 am

11:16 am

I did have coffee + breakfast. And I read the newspaper.

11:16 am

Pitiful, Krys. Just pitiful.

11:17 am

Why, Nut?

11:17 am

I see you laundry, and litter box, and raise you running the dogs, cleaning the kitchen (after the hubby cooked), and almost written two paper (still must finalize those)

11:17 am

I can pull the pregnancy card, though. Also it's only 9:15 here

11:17 am

11:17 am

ugh scrabs...its horrid.

11:18 am

*blinks* I fold to Marjetta.

lol judi! are you going?

11:18 am

I have 4 bunnies' rooms/litter boxes to clean up, and bunnies are poop-machines.

I pull that one too Krys.. although I have a lot to do around the house. maybe tomorrow. or maybe I'll get a cleaning spree moment later.. yah right though

11:18 am

We might drift down there later tonight, Owl. It goes from 2:00 until 9:30 p.m.

11:19 am

yeah, i have a bunch of things to do too, just got sucked in by the nice short grid today

11:20 am

I understand how you feel, Owl. I hate long car trips. Wish I had my own personal helicopter.

1:09 pm

My phantom phantom: worricow

1:14 pm

Since the grid is so small, I've updated my profile, in case anyone is interested.

1:15 pm

cool profile and wonderful pic, gwenski!

1:16 pm

I need an updated pic, but that may be hard to come by in the future!

1:17 pm

1:17 pm

Fortunately they set up a site for pictures, but it's not the same as being there. :(

1:20 pm

i need help with the top middle W

1:22 pm

it's an archaic word, in the same idea as "thou hast."

1:22 pm

cool thats 1 out of the 2

1:24 pm

The other looks like an alternate spelling of 'not loses'

clue for the ra5?

Never mind

That's FW for me. Have a great weekend!

1:28 pm

Congrats! Enjoy whatever weather you have up there!

1:28 pm

gwenski, i still dont have the other top mid W

1:29 pm

the "not loses" one. please help :]

1:29 pm

I had the highest score. I w**! Now, replace the vowel with the sometime vowel.

1:30 pm

and make it a plural

1:30 pm

wy4/10=not loses, but the opposite, misspelled

1:31 pm

what?

1:32 pm

Hi, all

1:32 pm

i feel stupid :'(

1:32 pm

Those clues were all for you, FBS, to get the other W

1:32 pm

NO FEELING STUPID ALLOWED! (or we'd all feel like that, from time to time.)

1:33 pm

dissapointed with myself?

1:33 pm

but did you at least get the word?

1:34 pm

no :(

1:34 pm

i dont even know a word that starts with wy

1:34 pm

GOT IT YESSSS

1:35 pm

YAYY

1:35 pm

thats a word? man i am expanding my vocab alot :)

1:35 pm

i didnt know that word existed

1:36 pm

Sometimes a grid is filled with 'normal' words, and other times very strange/unusual words. Dictionary.com doesn't even recognize this one, so don't fell bad.

1:36 pm

That was the problem, F.B.S. Many of the words you see here won't be words you know. Lots won't be in a regular dictionary.

1:37 pm

ok thanks

1:37 pm

Clue for me 4/9, please?

1:38 pm

Any more clues before I walk the dog?

1:38 pm

1:39 pm

The words are based on a dictionary by Enable (whatever that is).

1:40 pm

This one has more German words than yesterday's 8-(

Well, enjoy all! Hope to see you again.

1:42 pm

The dictionary doesn't recognize words from Dr. Suess.

1:54 pm

i had that but not its plural, lol i didnt know that was a word

1:54 pm

Me either :^)

1:54 pm

That's weird; I can't imagine that as a plural. I suspect it's actually some other word with the same spelling.

1:54 pm

maybe

1:55 pm

mo4/5 ground and rock cover and its adjective form?

1:55 pm

dictionary dot com says its possesive

1:55 pm

so the majoritie's...

1:55 pm

ground and rock cover?

1:56 pm

You're probably right, Erilar. We often clue on what a word looks like rather than its actual meaning.

1:56 pm

oh thanks jellen i completed the top left M

1:56 pm

1:56 pm

mo4/5 a rolling stone gathers no mo**

2:42 pm

GOT IT!!!

2:42 pm

And it ends with the two-letter plural

2:42 pm

F.B.S. - glass container in reverse is Indian ruler. The answer is then the plural.

2:43 pm

yeah i got it now [dances'

2:44 pm

Yes, I was amazed the first time I was up close to a standard poodle. I grew up with a toy poodle who was the runt of the litter. Top weight was 4 lbs.

10:15 pm

that's ok joso, we wont hold that against you ;)

10:15 pm

joso -- I am a middle aged married dude and have found the influx of men a refresshing pleasure... I was beginning to think that only women were the smart ones

10:15 pm

10:15 pm

:-D

10:16 pm

I have noticed that a lot of guys play, but not many of them chat

10:19 pm

is that the 15 dollar thing?

10:19 pm

do you have to pay monthly or what?

10:19 pm

just by looking at the stats page you can see there are alot more wemen than men. I suppose the men's presence is further deemapthized by our silence.

10:19 pm

sure is

10:19 pm

it is a one time only fee, never ever to be repeated

10:20 pm

oh cool

10:20 pm

you fellows could start a club. men of babble.

10:20 pm

And it gives you the ability to post an icon pic as well as always have the stat grid under the word list

10:20 pm

F.B.S -- I found that I liked this place so much that I went pro within a week of finding it, and have never regretted it -- as a matter of fact I paid for my mother's membership as a mom's day gift and she was ecstatic

smart feller fbs...you know his babble name?

10:23 pm

nah, nut -- if I were there I could never stalk prey again (if you know what I mean ;-) ) -- just been very busy at work and discovering that having an 8 to 6 job AND two kids under 4 is not conducive to having the energy to log on all that often

10:24 pm

10:25 pm
