good evening all *taking an appreciative sip of Tinhorn Creek Gewurtz*

hi and bye kath
I gather the USA has changed time?

yes kath
po8
hi kath, Hugs and all
well done, stid -- amazing speed as usual
YAH STIDIE
oh well done dart
Wow Dart - well done!
ok i must dash. Get food for the week and allthat
yay for you , dart
really dart? I went almost as fast as you???? though I did use the list for the last half.... still *extra proud mama look* it only took me about 5 hours.
I was happy for the extra hour to add words .. but I was STILL about 50 short *sigh*
at least this one is a more reasonable size
(with a little help, stid?) ;)
now me gone. *poof for real*
phant. open late lol
this one had better be kinder than that horror
bye stid
nite stid!
lynxx - you well?
Stid, you should be proud. I am impressed with ALL the finishers, wow!
*unpoof* with A LOT of help, from pini and her cast of dozens... LOL *poof*
ciao stid
it was fun!!!
and good night all.
not too bad, eh?
Today's my birthday ... is the grid going to be kind? lol
flip
I'm still in a sulk over my disappearing words last time
hbd kath
happy birthday, kathi
Happy happy birthday Kath! looks like you got a good grid
royal bumps for Kath
Clues are up
le 7
thx jilli ... how do your words disappear - like when you type and after about 10 words you realise they're not entering?
ty lickety!
thank you, Lickety
thanks lickety!!
thank you lynxx and saani
thx ruru
po 7 / 8
kathi, last night I entered a lot of T words and today they were all gone
(forgot the 7)

evening all :)
hey mrp!
hi MRP
an 8 if not called
hiya mrp:)
oohhh, the volcano AND the Hawaiian goose!
Hi all...been lurking....
jilli> I have that happen to me often .. thought it was to do with my non-pay status
hi PAV
hi Mr P
lo 6 / 7
ty une :)
an 7
hi mrp
lo6 x 2
right ... time for me to adjust my mental clock ... must remember the flip comes at 08:00 now, no longer 07:00 .. so I'm late!! lol
we discovered earlier, Kath, that a lot of us using Win I.E. were having "scripting" problems, which removes words even if we choose to continue or not..Ursh and I saw this earlier...we also had the third ranking not show "Who's Hot" for quite some time...
bye for now - will dive briefly into the grid then get on with the day
PAV i had the same problem for awhile with Firefox as well
PAV> I use Firefox, so it's not that
but PAV, I am NOT using IE, but Firefox!
lol
i use FF, too
and the script message was about IE
hmmm. you know I start with Firefox and then move to IE for Lickety's list...that's where the error message appears, so I presumed...perhaps it is a Firefox isssue?
jilli, had to try vache! LOL
no, used to have it with IE as well
I don't think my problems are to do with the site at all, I think it's my laptop ... I used a USB keyboard and every now and then it stops functioning ... if I type a few words on the laptop keyboard it corrects itself
I use Firefox and did not have that problem
to play babble, i moved from ie to ff...works fine now
une, the last grid accepted boite but not boire
100 down
Maybe today I'll treat myself to a remote mouse .. and learn to use the laptop keyboard
i know . . . crazy, eh?
I do have random words missing (pretty constantly), but not a series of them
and accepted merde, merde!
good grief, I haven't entered a single word yet ... too much chatting!!
I'd best be on my way...leave something for tmw night...congrats to all those who defeated the monster!!!!!
happy hunting!
yep, we've had merde several times before . . .
nite Pini!
so that's why I call enable a fictionary
oh, good one, jilli! LOL
with 95 to go, I bid you all good nite!
well done, une -- bonne nuit!
How many words today? (I don't want to open Lickety yet .. too tempting once it's open, lol)
bye Une
ciao Unea

yqw
mes amis (plural,masculine) mes amies(singular,feminin) Tout depend du sexe ......
great pic, kiwi! You look cuddly :)
mes amies is plural feminin
lol jilli me or my double chin
mes amies would be plural, feminine
that's what I always found confusing about french... everything is either masc. or fem. even inanimate objects
spanish does that also
mon ami means my friend in french, so what else is new?
they're just as confused as we are!
yes, hugs, and no logic to it, except that all words ending in ion are feminine
and German has masculine, feminine and neuter
and im just happy with my english and a very small smattering of maori lol
just trying to be more global...but I can stop if my foreign language is not up to par...Ciao!
good morning to you ( singing )

I got to 150 left and had to go
I got to 150 left and had to go
Why fireworks, Kiwi?
I only clicked once I swear

been there for long time
Fantastic Volley!!
must be me -- I thought the monster was very hard -- full of unwords
her feet haven't touched ground lol
woohooo wtg dees daughter
Yes Dee... that was great news to hear. :o)
great news, dee!
was being a bit facetious jili... this one just didn't go fast for me. Have you gotten your tests back, hug? Ty jili, hug, all!
kiwi you have a friend request
well, over halfway and NBT -- going to bed -- night all!
just back in time to say I am glad, Dee!
I finally got all the results of my tests... fibroids in the uterus, gall stones, a node about 3 cm x 4 cm on my adrenal gland and had 2 polyps which were removed
ty sprite!
night jilli, sleep well and dream even better *hugs*
bye jill
woohooo nice to finally meet you mlf :)
kiwi???
wow, hugs!
no wonder you have felt icky!!! Will they have to remove gall stones and node?
nothing of that pleasant, Hugs, but is it all benign?
sane to ya kiwii did you get it?
I am going to have nightmares from your icon spirte.
I don't know, and the docs don't seem worried about it... so everything is going to stay as is
but they have decided that I have IBS
hope you'll be feeling better, though, hugs!
what is IBS?
if there was even a remote chance of it not being benign, they would be testing already, Hugs. So that is the sunny side. Really hope you will feel better though.
fibroids are a pain, literally; had them for several years before hysterectomy... was thankful to git rid of them. Your symptoms sounded like IBS... also icky... isn't it hell to get all that stuff? Irritable bowel syndrome, jili
irritable bowel syndrome
oh, what a nuisance -- difficult diet coming up?
that is a very unpleasant syndrome :(
have found several helpful meds for my IBS - lactulose, levsin, and an herbal tea I have no clue what is in it
love the cupcake in your photo mlf lol
if you find your trigger foods and avoid them, you will feel better
now it's a matter of eliminating one food at a time to see what causes a reaction
that is going to take some time, Hugs. Do they have lists with foods most likely to trigger?
start with MSG (monosodium glutamate)... one of worst triggers, chocolate, carbonated beverages, sometimes beef
must go to bed -- best of luck, hugs *poof*
night jilli, again :)
g'nite jilli and thanks
could you do one more hint on the spelling of that po7 hugs?
they also found that red & yellow dies and brewer's yeast are triggers for me... I'll pray that you find yours fast, and that you get relief quickly
I rarely have carbonated beverages... and seldom beef or chocolate (just the odd craving)...
I googled whiskeys and couldn't find anything
raw veggies or lettuce?
what has brewer's yeast?
beer
beer, some stews
well I never have that
some meds use it as a binder (like folic acid)
which is how I discovered my issue - got hives
ruru - po + a person between 12 and 20 is one of the var. of spelling... with this one add a cons.
hives? What are hives, Dee?
in the meds it is ground into a powder - the pharmacist checks my meds now, and I have folic acid compounded with something else
I get hives from tuna
itchy red blotches that swell up... 1st indication of a true allergy vs. a sensitivity
wow tuna? other seafood, too?
thanks Dee. Sounds painful!
thanks Hugs for the po
I'm not fond of any type of seafood, so I just avoid it all
yw Sprite. ruru... did you get it?
benadryl usually takes care of them, but it is a pain to mess with all this stuff; keep your chin up hug. MSG is now in lots of cereals, processed crackers, soups, etc... so getting rid of that helped me a bunch.
I hope it will prove to be something simple and easy to avoid, Hugs.
Dee - what kind of herbal tea?
nope ..trying though
it is called chiro klenz
now I have it
thank you ...
thanks Dee
yw ruru
yqw
anything I can share to help you, please don't hesitate to ask
my wife has ibd also..
my Mom has IBS as well
my brother helped me a great deal - gave me a list of many of the normal culprits...
but she lives with me... so that may be the problem..lol
silly ruru
dairy products, too... but I have been able to add some of them back if I don't eat them every day
tomatos.. are tough on the digestive tract
lol ru
dairy too
ditto on the tomatoes
apparently fried foods
tomatoes and watermelon are in the ragweed family... just found that out
I feed her rice, and yams, and beets to settle things down
citrus fruits too, possibly
back and reading chat I had something similar years ago hugs couldn't have red wine, chocolate or any nuts
fried foods .. forgeddaboutit..
wb west
no not really sprite
almost like my stomach had a migraine
rice and yams here, too ru; can't believe how much they help
good description west
steamed beets are good to dee
ty sprite
for some it can, ruru. A friend of mine cannot have tomatoes or citrus fruit or all goes to hell.
yes, it sure is west
I've never tried that, ty ru
hmmm.. my wife eats oranges by the bags...
they put me on beta blockers and it went away eventually
wonder what is in them
if it only were exactly the same triggers for all, ruru!
iron, fiber, and vitamins
well, enough of my digestive tract info...... off to find my pillow! Hugs to all! Cya the flip.
camomile tea was my life saver
yeah you never know except by trying and eliminating items
sleep well Dee
my Mom's doctor told her not to eat grapes
g'nite Dee... and thanks everyone for the info
by dee... I am off too...good night everyone.. did kiwi leave?
by dee... I am off too...good night everyone.. did kiwi leave?

it is good for the crops, usually. Maybe that is where it comes from?
most likely
*peeks at grid to check word count*
lol Katie, a moderate one
not so bad this time katie
katie!!!!!!!!!! hugs happy babbling
Katie, your icon is errrrr.... kinda huge.

bye kiwi
bye kiwi
pe6/24 please
hey all
hi bf
what a grid yesterday
i got 1/2 way through and gave up
yeah i got around the 1/2 mark too
Hi bf, Andree. I got a third of the way yesterday
i would love to finish such a monster, maybe when i retire
pe6,24 is the female of a bird with a splendid tail
i wonder how many finished
If you go to Archives there'll be a list of everyone's scores, Andree. Good morning/evening all.
thx hydra, pity the splendid tail is wasted on the male
I looked at the grid and thought, 'life it too short'!
Hi Haz
hi haz, i am not competative enough to look
How did you do yesterday, Haz? Andree, a vegetable plus a chicken
I finished -enjoyed the grid very much.
Well done! How long did it take you?
i just bumble along and if i don't finish bad luck
what i did of it was fun haz, just too big on a working day for me
I don't honestly know - it had to be slotted in between various other duties, but it was less stressful than some of the shorter ones because so many of the words were normal.
I like to score 1000 and anything after that is a bonus
I didn't pay a huge amount of attention to the chat log - it gets too distracting when you're trying to find that many words.
the 1/2 way i got was pretty quick, as you say haz mostly normal.... for a change
i seldom enter the chat with a big one
nor me
It's too easy to get caught up in conversations and get waylaid - or else end up doing someone else's words for them instead of finding your own.
Hi
Hi herin!
hi herin
Howdy
help with last 2 po words please, po7/36 and po6/24
Andree is the weather aweful still in nsw? Hydra has the daughter left yet?
Does anyone have a clue for the ha 5/12?
anike - just go straight down from the h.
no lovely day today and hope tomorrow is good, i am going to a melbourne cup golf day, last year we got soaked, i don't normally play in the rain but this is not something i can pull out of
Top h, that is.
OH so you do a cup thing to?
TY Haz - Fireworks and goodnight _ dinner requires cooking
and then we shower and change and eat drink and be very merry
Congratulations!
and spend heaps on horses that run last, lol
yah ANike
Herin, she left last\Wednesday and texted on Fri to say she was in Singapore and it was very expensive.
Singapore is
Hydra she should come to aus our dollar is so crap against yours
It wasn't her decision, it was her adoptive mom's
oh
They've gone en famille - mom, brother and her. She's going to update her Facebook soon. Must go now. Byeee!
OK. Later Hydra. I to have to zip off
and me too, must eat dinner
I am eating and babbling
hellloooooo
Morning Ata!
Good meeting yesterday?
long meeting! got home at 11pm
good heavens!
yes ..... though that was with an hour of food after the meeting. But still!
I was wondering when anybody else would show up.
at least you got fed :)
Haz, hello :)
But Ata did finish the grid. With a little help, Ata?
Good morning!
with the list and about 4 words from morewords!
I knew because morewords contacted me to say that they were very excited at having a prestigious new client.
Loads of people did complete, I had a look at the archive this morning.
at about 2am, my brain was simply incapable of finding 8 letter words!
So did I, FMitch, well over 100. That Hall of Fame better have elastic sides.
lol you commission cheque is going to be a big one!
I think you were pretty heroic to have contemplated finding words of any length at that time.
Ata, do you mind your name being used in advertising? MOREWORDS 'as used by Atalante'
nooooo I stated in the log it was a ONE OFF! LOL
That's what they all say. But when temptation strikes and you can't find a word, there it lurks, waiting, begging to be used.
nooooooo
Think I had better make a start on this grid, until work interrupts again.
but i did realise how you can finish so quickly!
Ah, but nobody knows how quickly or slowly I finish because I never say when I'm done.
we just *know*
lol!
I'm just too impatient not to use it - once I've exhausted my own vocabulary.
I couldn't understand some people going to the list/morewords 100 words in yesterday. That actually handicaps you more, I think, in a big grid.
I know! that's more than anything really why I don't use the list, I simply don't find it helpful, apart from finding a last few words
everyone has their own technique.
absolutely
True. I've even heard of some people who go through from z to a. Imagine that!
ridiculous ;)
and some just start at the top of the list and ask for clues for every word *coughs* I didn't see that at all last night, honestly
Absolutely!
ae5/10?
I did a Haz worthy clue last night, your skills must be rubbing off on me.
yep! then the ae6s ... etc
I'm not an advocate for tattoos, but ae5/10 tattooed somewhere might be a good reminder.
Oh, what clue did you give?
Oooh, is this a cheer and sneer? G'd morning.
it was for the tr8 and went something like 'attempt to go through the doors but drops an r on the way'.
Actually, Ata, you could maybe incorporate some babblets into tattoo designs. Now that you use morewords, you'll have more time for your art.
Good morning Lori!
Morning Lori!
looooool
trientes!
mkg would be the amazing tattooed woman
Haz has wooed Ata to morewords? ***faints***
LOL
Oh dear. Such images.
nooooo! only for a few words when my brain was 99% asleep last night!
Volcanos spouting over tenrecs and eagles quitting their aeries. I love it.
(Start of the slippery slope, Lori)
as a one off, I think it is allowable but just don't do it again Ata - or admit to doing it anyway :)
Soon she'll be asking for et 4's.....
there's an et4? clue pls
Will it be kind of evolution in reverse?
et4. clue pls.
you left off a lot of "!!" Ata
Lori - your profile is GREAT.
I'm working up to that!
And you need to let us know your thought process.
:D @ Haz
oh, no. just wait for a clue and then go "don't get it"
et4/4 - et plus the first letters of Mrs Astor.
don't get it
et + first 2 letters of Ronnie Reagan's Mrs. ***waits for inevitable.... 'who'?***
et4/4 et plus the first letters of Mrs Reagan
clue for et4 please
don't get it either
loool Ata
(aren't I good?)
et4/4 - anagram of the word that goes with tidy
et + 14th letter of alphabet + 1st letter of alphabet?
et4/4 - anagram of Latin before
don't get it. can you clue it better?
Go ahead and try not to get that!
'Oh I am so going to laugh if someone turns up
alphabet?
et4/4 The little alien plus first letters of Princess Royal backwards.
(Two people to puzzle over)
*cries* I can't do it anymore!!!
Expecting a courier, FM?
it's *painful*!
***prepared to take one for the tea*** etna! In the name of all that's holy, the word is etna! ***goes to pb***
for once No.
*team even
Have you got it now, Ata?
oh, I've already got that one. I meant el5
Then she'll ask for the et 5/10..........
lool
Classic!
Ack, I almost choked on my coffee Ata
*almost crying with laughter*
You haven't given us any tyty tyty tyty, super cluers.
***taping my ribs to avoid further injury***
ohhhh. tyty!!!1111!!!!!!!!1111 et5 pls?
this would make a brilliant flow chart *did I say that out loud?*
Oh, I've had such a laugh.
*quietly slips under the tiles in the hope of finding some words*
I think I need a paramedic.
Do your ribs ac4/6?
mine do! and my firefox's did, cos it just shut itself down lol
I'm not gettin' it. Can you clue it another way?
Bad firefox!
very!
ooo found a kv word, I love my monkeys.
ooo!
Isn't that kv word great? T'was my 3rd word.
(What's with these people who find kv words with monkeys?)
no def though
Noticed it because it contains anatomical word from male nether regions.
lol trust you!
It's a Russian beer!
oh double trust you then - male bits and alcohol!
Hey, we all have our unique approaches to finding words.
Well there you are. No wonder I needed a prompt from the log to find it. Russian beer and male nether regions aren't exactly my ....areas of expertise.
looooool
I am but a vessel of the spirits. I have been chosen.
Possessed, more like.
Povesseled
yeah, gin, vodka, brandy..
Well, I'll see your Russian beer and raise you a flightless bird.
We have a VAStly different opinion on that.
There's a variation of Irish moonshine to join with the Russian beer. International drunkenness.
that was my first word :)
Two flightless birds (I forgot to plural)
Well, it's a beautiful time of day, wake the spawnlings, and shoo, shoo, shoo them out the door to a place of higher learning, the school bus.
See you later Lori
Back in a bit. Laters!
wouldn't that be 3 then? the singular and 2 (at minimum) for the plural?
See you Lori.
Ah, but I said, flightless bird. Then I said flightless birds. The flightless bird could have been joined by another singular flightless bird, thus making only 2.
this is true. it depends if the one flightless bird is independent of the other(s)
phone ...
It could be a travelling flightless bird, what do you think? Just turned up in its caravan and look! Another flightless bird!
could be! or it could be a flightless bird carrying around a birdy chainsaw to cripple other birds it sees flying around, in jealousy of their flight status
No! That would be the infamous gorhen/gorcock.
looooooooool yes!
Now THERE'S a bird that would have tattoos and chains and things.
absolutely!
No chavs allowed today. There's a relief.
Have to go for a while, TTFN
oooo I got an 8 :)
Bye FM!
bye dear!
I'll need to slip out as well. Will you manage, Ata? You can always use morewords if you're stuck. You know that now.
I think I can cope. Just.
ha5/12 please
And you can always ask for clues.
I knew I was never going to live down using morewords! LOL
Back later!
byeee!

hi! I am happy to say that the Babble Online Resource Guide will be moved to my own domain soon. I'm in the process of working on it now.
good to know angel :)
i think everyone is still in recovery from yesterday's grid
we bought our turkey for thanksgiving. I LOVE cooking for holidays!

ohh just got past 1/2 way, in 30 mins!
the 27th is Thanksgiving in the US.
Nicely done phand! G'd morning Angel
ok....seems late this year...is it?
my son is coming home from florida on the 14th. And tomorrow is our tenth wedding anniversary.
does anyone have a clue for the bottom left N?
I found 27 words in about 20 mins....
hi, lori
This week is Mom and Dad's 61st anniversary. :)
very nice angel... celebrations are a good thing
wow, Angel, you have a lot to celebrate! Congrats on 10 years, may you have many more and may they be blessed.
That one has eluded me phand. I'm praying it's not a fish word. :)
yeah, me too
WOOHOO for mum **sneaking crossy's 21 guns away**...21 gun salute for mom and dad
I'm opening the list now

thnx, Frances
Doh! Fish me. Thanks Frances, and g'd morning
Hello Frances!
hi frances
lol carlee, cross doesn't seem to have noticed his missing guns yet....
are people even still using the resource guide? I hate to do all the work of moving the site if no one is using it.
Hi all. I've been absent for a while now as my hard drive conked out - for good. I'm dog sitting for son so having a sneaky play on his PC.
oh..i am putting them back as I clean each one
that's because Cross left to write a letter...
Newbies always get referred to it Angel
good to have you back, Frances
ok. I thought so, since that is what the guide is for. I'm going to be changing the template and doing a complete update of the site.
ok..not seeing words here today...
Lunch time TTFN
byebye fm
thunder rolling in...yea :S
good morning babblers! how many words today? obviously a much smaller grid than yesterday!
172
ty carlee
np (o:
Laters FM!
I loved that huge grid! What a treat!
i didn't have time :(
This grid may as well be written in Romulan, because right now I'm just not seeing words. Gonna' walk away for a bit and try again later. Have a good one all! ***yesterday's grid rocked!***
my only wish Angel is that I had the day off to do the grid. as it was I could only get half way and work the 12 hours.
later lori....and I agree...I amnot seeing words
Now I want to go back to the big grid...
i did half too...
Hello all!
hi bzzn
it took me about three hours to finish
I managed to get that monster done yesterday.
yay Bea! I think I could have done it.
way to go angel and bzzn
but I had to work inbetween. and then when I got home I was falling asleep.
but I probably should have used the list.
I used the list. Too many words to keep them all straight.
How are things going in FA, red?
I gues that is FL.
I am down to 43 left; gonna run now and get ready for my day.
good. work is crazy busy. But I like it.
I think its a little too cool now, oddly.
How long will you be there?
till April!
speaking of florida..i have not heard frommy father in a week....hmmm
how spoiled we become huh, Red?
better call carlee!
over halfway through the grid in just about 20 minutes
It is like 68 so I dont quite get my issue.
What a nice way to spend the winter.
good for you angel.
I would love 68!
Hello all. Are we all recovering from yesterday's monster grid? I got to 404 and that was a lot of words!
You did good Scrabs.
I know ph, its nice, I am in shorts and tank taops.
tops even.
hi scrabs... I am recovering from a cook a thon
Ooh I found a po 8 on my own, yay.
Yes, Carlee, you ar emaking food for 1000 people! You should start a catering business.
Are you the only one making all that food, carlee?
red, I have on 2 sweatshirts
not me alone....there was about 10 of us at work
Good. When you were talking about it last night, I thought that would be a lot of work for one.
oh..for one..impossible..would be a 24/7 job
Are both K words KN, I have a kn5.
there is a k in here?
Hiding on the bottom between 2 grey tiles.
Scrabs the secons is KV
so there is...who knew..been here an hour almost...
KV? Hmmm
Calling my monkey to help
carlee, you are right...kv + ** you like it, willie shakespeare
KV? Is that even English?
TY, sweet Annie
( I got the kv annie..looking the kn tho... but thanks :O))
TY Annie. Never would have gotten that.
( rather my monkey got the kv4...)
KN is on you knees.
and hello everyone...going to the kitchen to put up my drip coffeemaker...will bring back the carafe
*your
got it thanks bzzn
There isn't even a definition for that kv4.
fermented mildly alcoholic beverage made from black or rye bread, according to wikipedia. mmmmm
morning all
oooh..i found all the lo's.....still not seeing many words here tho
TY, fuqua
peaking of alcoholic beverages..had a lcient make both chocolate ale and pumpkin ale..and they turned out amazing
pumpkin all--interesting
Glad to see the Hawaiian goose back. She hasn't been with us for a few days.
*ale*....anything pumpkin is yummy
I've had pumkin ale. It is good.
really good...added pumpkin pie spices...and is nice..spicy..not a sit down a quaffe 6 or seven beers..but to sit by a fire....reading....and sip..very nice
the chocolate was even better....
There are several breweries that make the pumpkin ale.
u knew there was something "going on" taste wise..but really nice ( he also added cinnamon to that one)
ohh..got the le8
I think tonight is a chili night.
tonight is a fend for yourself night....I don't get home until 9
I'm thinking about making a cheddar zucchini bread to go with.
Good afternoon everyone.
morning elder :)
Hi elder
hi elder
Hey, elder.
hi elder and annie!
Lless strenuous grid today. :)
scrabbler 2 sweat shirts too much!
'less'
Thanks for the LE8, carlee.
hi red!
no problem..but I didn't say anything or clue it even
hello all, how is everyone. ok ?.
Red, nearly there :), I will add no more.
anyone get the po8 mentioned earlier? could use a clue....
sorry Fuq, have just begun.
THanks Elder. I must admit, I think I will have some let down... ;)
po8... is an italian grain stuff u cook or fry
Fuquay it is an italian food. pluraled.
there is a kv word in the grid. K + most of what you put cut flowers into.
made from cornmeal I believe....
ty! a favorite food and didn't even see it!
po8/45 plural of po7/32
Red, stay strong :)
I just found an8
thanks Elder. I have the day off tomorro...will be glued.
Annie clue???
I love po7
I bet.
i know after tomorrow there WILL be letdown
it is tasty bea.
red>>>oh give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the an*********** yada yada yada
...whre the deer and the ******** play
ty inge.
and annie
sache
sorry, going back to my corner
red, I cant wait for the election to be over..I will be glued to the TV tomorrow night
mornig inge....any storms ur way this am?
you can come out inge, it isnt a word, I trited it right away!
i willbe glued ALL DAY
and all nite
Annie, I cant wait to see exit polls etc, but thats all i have to say.
and the next day too likely
I am so glad I have the day off.
No problems Inge, not a word.
Are most Canadians as interested, carlee?
I am for Obama and hope he is elected...I dont know about polls...not always accurate
we are interested....but i live right on the border..i can be in USA in about 10-15 min from home
Carleekat, Annie and Red, many people away from USA will be glued too.
i have been following obama since he gave teh keynote address... last election..he gave me goosebumps as he spoke and I said to myself " there is the first black president"
It's ahuge deal. I am glad actually also that we have so many new voters...regardless of their vote. It means we are ready for something different and it means people care.
It will be interesting and I will be glad when it is over.
that is how i feel too rth... vote..I like aussie's rules...no vote..u are fined....imagine the cash that COULD raise in USA
I met him in NH waaay back last year, He was very impresive and polite in person...it was before he won the nomination.
It will also be interesting to see who wins the NC senate seat. That has been a nasty one.
Oh yes Bea, that is true! Hagen and dole?
just tuning in .... my vote is for Obama also, maybe time to bring a little thoughtful intelligence into the White House......
Yes.
amen, JBV
I just hope that with all the hype he doesn't come a cropper like a certain Mr Blair!
Yes, I was amazed as the ads against Hagen!
From what I understand USA need to tidy up their voting system.
Frances, I hope he has the opportunity to be a cropper...though I hope he doesnt be one.
Frances. yes.
but if Obama wins he will most likely have a Democrat congress, was that the case with Blair?
As a Kansan, I always thought of the Doles as above reproach.
I mean a majority of his party in Parliament?
Yes, I believe we do need to clean up the election system. Amazes me that we can vote for American Idol easier than the president.
i was stunned over the dole ads
Frances, long time since I last saw you here. Good to see you again.
no..not stunned....gobsmacked
they were really horrid, carlee, and not all the ads reached National TV. I saw some while I was at home.
BLair had a huge majority in goverment. Unfortunately it became the sleaziest on record.
Need to walk some doggies...BBL.
See you Bea.
mind i NEVER liked her....i always thought she was a class A b****
bye bea
oh, thanks, Frances - let's hope the sleaze factor diminishes across the board
Hi elder. Yes, computer problems but as I am dog sitting for my son I am using his PC.
JBV yes.
**phone call*
Dole?
ok..i NEED to get ready for work....
we don't have clear representation with regard to votes, counted by than its counties.
Yes, I need to go walk dog again. I sort of short shrifted him this am...
unfortunately, being from NJ, we know about sleaze, right Annie?
yes...lizzy dole....hated her from first time I saw her...election ...walking the walk while she spoke at the republican convention like she owned the joint
oh, sorry, Annie I forgot you are in NYC
Liddy is what we call her in NC...
Ahhh dog walking required. He is acting like he needs a marathon run.
JBV, We have our own share of sleaze here also...remember our Gov. Spitzer..
BeeYa*** is more like it
Everyone if I dont get back till evening, Have a great day!
ah, yes, and aren't they still looking into Rangel's real estate????
Was not impressed by Arnold Swats.. comments about Obama being skinny and needed to build up. I recall Arnold used Steroids. Not a good stand.
no wonder hubby on viagra....she robbed him of ANY masculinity LONG ago
bye, red, have a great day
Bye Red. :)
what do u expect from a muscle head tho elder....
lol..
ok..GOING... I have to go to work....but willhave cnn on all day:)
ttfn * actual poof*
JBV, I think most politicians, if they are in office long enough, become somewhat corrupted. They all get their houses renovated with taxpayer's money. Look at Stevens up in Alaska....a very corrupt state.... Palin scares me...Oh! I better stop.
Such a long time since I was last here. Do we not get videos any more?
I expected better from him given his status.
Frances , I am not sure.Have you finished?.
Yes elder.
Is congratulations in order? Frances
Frances. Well done !!
YAY for Frances!!!!!
Yes,thank you. (*v*)
May I give any clues before I walk the muttmeister?
Frances, thanks for the offer, but I will press on.
looking for the 3rd e from the bottom. have the volcano and greek letters
oh phooey. forgot the plural volcano. nm
OK off I go into the gloom. See you tomorrow. Bye.
bye Frances, nice seeing you

hi flosey
hi Annie
anyone got the k besides got down on one's leg joints?
hursh, kv + ** you like it
well i certainly wouldn't have thought of THAT! thanks!
alcholic drink made from pumperknickle or rye bread
doesn't sound too appealing Annie
that explains it - i don't drink and i don't like rye or pumpernickel!
I agree, flosey, but I think my uncle used to make it
love a nice fresh, chewy pumpernickel
pumperknickel bagels are yummy too
ah yes Annie
gm... and thank you for that weird word... never heard of it
hi kje!

Russian alcholic beverage

There is a bakery on Avenue M in Brooklyn that makes the best rye bread in the entire galaxy
I am having coffee and carrot cake for breakfast...
kje, to get down on your leg joints
I kn*** to say my prayers
I bet annie...
ty flos... not awake yet i guess... should have seen that one
carrot cake for breakfast sounds great - my fav. at any time
prefer butter cream icing to the cream cheese one
i decided it has grains, nuts, raisins, and vegetable... kinda healthy... at least as healthy as a muffin
(i am justifying bad behavior - LOL)
for sure
Now I want carrot cake too
lol, time for my third coffee
can give you some virtually annie... but it won't be as good : )
do you live in brooklyn annie, or manhattan
kje, I see you are in Israel today....I live in Brooklyn
for some reason i was thinking manhattan from a previous conversation
yes, visiting the mediterranean... wonderful food here
I grew up in Manhattan but I have lived in Brooklyn most of my adult life
aaahhhh, maybe that is where i got it
or maybe not... never know - LOL
kje, I ate in a Turkish restaurant yesterday....wonderful food
i love turkish... also lebanese may be my fave from the region... greek... it is ALL good
I agree
phantom: neonate
my phantom is cannoli... seems to be a sweets kind of day
NOW I am starving
LOL
my phantom is c + an8 (but it would need a U)
TY hursh

yw
my left trapezius hurts today... think i'll see if i can get in for a massage before it tightens more
you can identify your muscles? *impressed*
sure... pain near the shoulder blade on the left when i turn my head left or right... has to be the trap
i'd be like, hey, my neck hurts.
oh wel... i am weird : )
and also cannot type
no, you're just not pathetically sedentary.
hello, has everyone recovered from yesterday's monster grid
morning pab, yes, good night's sleep does wonders
maybe... but maybe not... all that typing may have been the cause of my crick
that might be kje
oh, is today what will survive a nuclear blast, pab?
yes, kje
(saw the twinkie)
did you see wall-e
not yet, kje
watch it... notice what survived (twinkie is one thing)
and wonder bread too kj
thanks for the heads up, kje, will keep an eye out for it
i took my nephews.... grab a kid, gives you an excuse to be seeing a disney movie : )
wonder bread - lol - good one flos
oh, I never need one of those kje, I just go anyway :)
going to crawl back into bed, 3 cups of coffee and still can't wake up! bbl
enjoy flos... sounds good to me

Hi Haz!
All beginning with po.

hi again *yaawn*
Variation on the usual spelling, Annie.
Hello Ata, did we waken you?
Hi Atalante
dog did by bouncing all over me
she's looking expectantly at me
See, of you kept her chained up in her kennel, that wouldn't happen.
Got it, Haz...thank you
You're welcome, Annie.
no, she'd spend her days barking very loudly at anyone who walked past!
*if you kept her....
could you clue the bottom-ish kv, pls, Haz dear?
So, you have sacrificed yourself for the sake of passers-by.
yes, cos her bark is very loudly and it would still wake me up LOL
kv4/11 - you mean? Didn't you find it when you looked in morewords?
oh yes, silly me, I forgot
that looks more like Klingon than Russian
Okay - how about K plus the start of Mr De Gama.
yay for klingon!
It should be Mr Da Gama - sorry for any confusion caused.
what an odd word
it is a russian alcholic beverage
what is the ha 5/12??
sharon, go straight down the column
ha + spanish cheer
Go straight down from the first h. It's always the Hawaiian term of derision for the white man.
thanks...bizarre word!
thanks ata
107 left for tonight--I work til 8...enjoy the day everyone.
hi bye scrabs
bye scrabbler
Bye Scrabbler.
66--I always have to find "just 1 more word".
addiction scrab... just one more...
Let Morewords help you find One More Word. (could I sell that as a slogan?)
good morning all. does anyone have the lone N in the lower left corner?
48 left, should I go to morewords?
if morewords wasn't free, maybe, haz
ne + not bottom
That would be premature for you, Ata.
tx annie
are you sure? *worries*
That's true, hurshy.
You'll probably find more words now that you're nicely awake again.
vaguely awake!
Does Hobbit need to do some strenuous barking to get you fully with it?
nooooo, headache!
We'll tiptoe in that case and communicate with hand signals.
ty *whimper*
I just found pe7 but pe8 is eluding me...can I have a clue
I dont have the list and morewords was very kind
Hello, all!
hi, annie - pe 8 has a chemical ending - like corn fuel for cars
hello vicuna
vi!1111!!!11!1!!11!
thanks, jbv
Hello Vicuna!
Goodness, Ata, that was very vigorous for a headac4 sufferer!
I've just had some ibuprofen :)
I hope that will do the trick.
So, what joy today, my partners in mayhem?
joy joy joy, ata's helping her heart
or is it her brain?
Well, not that I'm one to gossip but Ata stayed up very late last night.
well, ibuprofen is good for SOMETHING
And hurshy, too! Hello!
Do tell, Haz!?!?
I need help with my very last word: re 6/21, just before what you pay to the landlord, Please.
I thought it was aspirin that was good for the heart, less good for the stomach.
Is that warm up again?
Hello everyone! Warm again Inge
well they found more recently that ibuprofen is good.
thanks Vicuna, that was it. Fireworks here.
Yay for inge!
congrats inge
And even though it was very late, she finished the grid! She's suffering from sleep deprivation and word frenzy.
Congratulations inge.
if she finished, why was she saying she had 48 to go?
*yawn* so evil of my employeres to make me do work on a MONDAY in the MORNING!
yesterday's grid!
Ah yes. I had little time yesterday any way, and did not even attempt the grid. Was it a record, or has there ever been one above 600?
This was last night - I'm explaining how heroic she was to conquer tiredness.
The next person who longs for a 500 plus workd grid gets shot.
Poor EvaN. But they do pay you, don't they?
there was one above 600 once upon a time
if you call giving me money maying me, then yes.... so technical...
paying*
I know. Just trying to let you look on the bright side.
Ah. Well, I probably didn't do that one, either! I've never been into masochism.
there are no bright sides on monday mornings...heh
though, with daylight savings happening over the weekend, this morning WAS brighter than they have been lately :)
it was years and years ago
But you'll get darker earlier? I'm never keen on the winter evenings.
alas, thats the down-side... :/
test
A+, kje

lovely pic, kje

phantom: teopan
My phantom is cantalope.
soooo near to a nice word :)
Indeed it is! TY.
:)
***all focused up, and gonna' try this again*** G'd morning Babblers.
hi lorikins!
Good morning Lori.
did you happen to watch the programme on the history of Mills & Boon last night, Haz?
No, I didn't. Was it interesting?
You don't suppose Heather Mills is a director?
Of Mills and Boon, I mean.
I haven't watched it yet. Friend who was in prostitute play was in it, so I've just downloaded it to watch. I'll give a report, it's meant to be a very good watch
oh probably
i can't for the life of me find the po 7, the last one. clue anybody?
I'll be interested to hear about it.
po7 - variation in spelling of Irish illegal alcohol.
it's one of those programmes - I think - which could either be very very good, or just boring
I've never read any of the novels but it still might be interesting to trace the development of the genre.
that's not a help i'm afraid, sorry..... :(
Do you have po6/24 after it?
nor me, they just look so banal and trite. but we'll see.
po6/24 after it has the same structure as the maternal figure. For po7/36 - use the first five letters of po6/24, then double your vowel and finish off.
hello, can someone help me with AS 6 pls?
po7 - po + someone between 12 and 20 with an extra
a + an aroma or smell
consonate.
as6 - a literal climb
thanks, haz
You're welcome.
oh dear, Hobbit is looking very hard-done-by
She wants a walk?
Hobbit needs a shed.
I take it your husband has gone back to work?
yes, amazingly
Besides, you just walked Hobbit last week.
she just flopped with a biiiig sigh
Happy Monday, Babblers!
Maybe she's just got caught up with the David Tennant news.
we ventured to the beach earlier. wow. soooo cold and windy and horrid, even Hobbit wanted to come home after a while!
G'd morning Judi
Hello Judi, nice to see you.
Back at you, Judi.
she preferred Christopher Eccleston, I think
hi Judi
It was -2 celsius here last night. Ack
Really? It's a gorgeous day here, the sun is actually warm.
wow!
Well, warmish.
it's FOUL he4. absolutely horrid.
I suppose that mean's we'll get to exchange weather soon.
It's currently +4. I remain unamused.
sounds about the same as here, lori
hopefully!!
ct
oops sorry
hmm perhaps she wants a wee. brb.
Ooh. Excited. I found the an8.
HA 5/12?
Is what ha5/12 always is, ha plus Spanish cheer. Look straight down from the first h.
ach. One of these days I will remembe that one! Thnx Haz
and I already smell like garlic, go ahead and add the fish too
It's funny, it's one of those ones that only ever seems to be the same thing.
*spritzes phanmd with lemon zest* Better?
We all have our Babblet demons phand....
ahh, yes thnx, Judi
*throws in sprig of parsley for good measure*
I have too many of those demons, Lori. but that one is my bane!
It's just that some of us have more demons than others. I have to positively look for asea and niece and I've heard others mentioning them as well.
oh dear just noticed the time, I better run bbl
See you later, phand.
ty haz, that reminded me that I always miss the volcano
one of mine is in this grid. en 4/4 escapes me every time
Oh, et4/4? Ata had the hardest time getting that earlier.
Later phand
Clue after clue. You have no idea how hard we had to work.
must have a look at the chog, it may make me feel better
don't have the en4 yet ....
We were crossing fingers that nobody would arrive at an inopportune moment.
back
gave Hobbit half a cold sausage. She suddenly seemed more content
I wish they had
en4/4 - anagram of the Solitary Ranger.
You're just a glutton for punishment, Ata.
ty haz
ata, i need latin help
mine are niece, ocean and ca5
Ata, where your ears burning?
Glad to hear that (a) Hobbit only got half a (b) cold sausage. Although what happened to only gruel?
uhoh :)
gruel was work. cold sausages were in the fridge!
curriculum vita, curricula vitae? i'm looking at a lot of sites that say the singular is curriculum vitae but that doesn't make sense to me but i don't really know latin.
Why does hurshy look to Ata for Latin help when I have an O-level in Latin?
curriculum vitae
oreven were your ears burning?
Did anyone finish the biggest grid of all time yesterday? I gave up at about 343. The grid that ate my brain.
vitae, means of life - thus, story of life.
no, but someone else's might have been :)
because hurshy didn't know you had an O-level
so vita is just nothing.
she probably has more than 1!
Not if you're living la vita loca!
vita is the nominative, vitae is the genitive (of)
Actually, I know that's la vida loca.
*agrees with Haz*
random question, does Latin have locative case?
ahhh, cases.
Nominative, vocative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative.
yes, everything with Latin and Greek comes down to cases
but there are *ot5* ones too. tricksy ones you don't hear about till degree level
Really? I'm profoundly grateful they kept that from me.
hello again... this is getting slow now
ha, yes, we were right. I've just reading "The Secret History" and one of the characters says in there that using a locative noun would work better than whatever the ot5 boy was doing. and locatives aren't used in greek, only in latin. silly author.
morning
Oh, and Judi - your question about the grid? Over 100 people finished.
hi phae
Hiya, Phae & kje!
Thanks. Now I feel inferior, Haz. Ach. It was too big. Just didn't have the gumption to finish.
how does that compare to normal, haz?
No need to feel inferior!
I have precisely no idea, kje - I only looked out of curiousity because someone had mentioned a Hall of Fame for those who finished. Pretty crowded Hall of Fame!
599 words. Good God. It was like writing the dictionary.
That's something that Lickety or others don't keep stats for - percentage finishing every day.
hello everyone.... I finished yesterday, I really enjoyed it, it was a nice grid, if a little over large !
Hello Karys!
a littel oevr large - lolol
I wish Lickety would do the same as BJ used to, and do a condensed list: ar4x2, ar5x1, ar6x1 etc
We Brits like understatement.
lol
why ata
can get the same thing from the current list
I seem to be having more of a problem with todays 'L' words !!
because it's useful
I see Elton is in the grid today. He would be the King of British understatement. *giggle*
Some of the l words are a wee bit odd.
I agree Ata, just a total, not the individual breakdown would be cool.
Lori and Ata like to suffer for their words.
yes, I don't want the detail of the list. but for such things as the puzzle yesterday, it would have been lovely to have that partial breakdown
I actually think someone is moving the letters on my grid when I'm not looking.
I must have a Babble hangover from eysterday's grid, but this one is still crawling at a snail's pace for me.
Some had full-blown breakdowns when they saw the word total.
it is crawling lori....and I don't have a hangover from yesterday's...i ran out of time and couldn't finish it
***darn, Karys caught me switching her letters***
same here, lori
So .... it's you is it Lori !!!!
I spent a long time doing grids with printed lists, then Haz made me Pro (god bless 'er) and got the stats panel abck. It's been evolving for me. Incraesingly, i liek to go listless, but often have to torment whoever is on, for a letter count.
Wow, that's some stellar typing.....
Well, time I got the canine ready to access her external environment. We'll be back. Hopefully the van sitting outside the shop proclaiming that it sold greeting cards and stationary for the discerning will have gone. If I had had a paint-pot and brush with me this morning...... Bye!
have a good perambulation!
only 3 typos lori.....that would be maybe a 5 gun salute?
I only go to the list when I am totally frustrated by not being able to find anything and start repeating things !
Enjoy the peram.............whatever Ata said!
i generally do the list straight off..again..a time thing...
I find it takes more time to use the list to start with
unless am at work..no list here
At least she didn't say purgatory. Happy ambling Haz.
its just.."there" with expert..i don't "use" it..actively...it just..is there
Yesterday I hit the list after 400 and some, because I had time retsraints.
I get cross with myself when I do use the list, thinking how silly I am not to have got obvious words !
ditto here, Lori
fortunately "a" is at the top and I almost NEVER see "vowel" words to start off the day....so....
that's why I don't use expert
must away to peel potatoes..... back later
if I did not use expert...i WOULD drop WAY more words in the chog then I already do
I use expert, but just slide the list over so i can't see it
have fuuuun!
must away..back to work...
any ae today?
Later Karys. ***reaches for karys' tiles to scramble again***
ttfn * poof* *** lobbing mud ball back at lorip as I leave *
yup, 2 ae
***hey!*** I actually have the vowels done at least, but i may feel a nap coming on, see if that helps....
2? hmmm *looks*
ok, got one
ae 4, ae 6
*blinks* total babble hangover!
ae 6/21 might help
I'm baaaaaack!
ph *that* lol
*oh!
wb As. Cheer down a bit!
ty, got it
hi asg
why? are people calm in here this am?
be as loud as you liek asg! go for it.... ata needs to wake up
lol As, we're all Babble hung over. Shhhhh :D
shoot - Ringo needs attention - bbs
I fear we've lost Ata....
i'm he4!
I have a random question that is not meant to lead at all into politics, but why is Obama always described as African-American, when he's only half AA. Why don't people ever pay heed to his white half too?
*** ducks *** :p
Evening all - the board has my surname in today :-)
It's stupid, Ata. Some genius in the media noticed that he is not white and decided to share it with the world.
G'd afternoon Denny.
hi denny
he describes him self that way
it just seems odd to me
It is odd to anyone who is color blind, Ata. There should be more of us. (P.S. I also do not care what shoes Sarah Palin is wearing).
but then again it seems odd to me that an american huy I know describes himself as Polish cos his great-grandfather was Polish.
you don't? *gasp!*
Nor do I care where she shops, what she eats, etc. etc.
how could you! LOL
omg, my puppy just discovered the mulch! yuuuuuccccck!!!!
dogs are foul, get used to it!
it figures, we have a vet appt. in an hour or so...
and now she's filthy - at least she's wearing clean underpants with no holes!
LOL
so, another mistake - me starting this grid
did you see yesterday's asg?
dogs? underpants?
half-day today, and then we go from here to the vet then a long drive to Westport CT to drop my son at a sleepover with a camp friend
yes, I saw, and I ran fast!!
a joke ata, a joke - didn't your mom make you wear clean undies esp. for doctor's appts?
just checking! you never know these days, you can everything and anything for dogs!
yes... mom always said... you never know when you may be in an accident... where di that saying get started? stupid. like you will care about yor undies in an accident
I found a pe 8. ***passes out from shock***
and that made you become a dr., right kje? the thought of seeing people's undies? ;)
Still 32 to go. That nap is starting to hold great appeal.
nah... these are not good lookin' undies i see - LOL
****jealous of Lori**** 126 to go, and 3+ hours in the car
but i will say... when i fell and broke my ankle... i had no undies on... and while laying there waiting for the ambo, remembered what mom said - LOL
I knew there was an advantage tp being a non-medical doctor
omg, no undies? lol
lololol kje
i had on these tight work out pant things with built in panel whatever
wish I could have been there for THAT!
was thankful they decided not to cut my pants off.. they debated
ah, I don't wear undies with those either....
lol ruru
oh shoot... YOU were lurking... damn
I thought you were just at home, no undies on
perfect timing ruru - no surprise!
caught you with your pants down..so to speak...
LOL
the pants were up.... i was down though... it was not pretty
my my, what have I come back to!
LOL flos
G'd afternoon flosey. :)

Do you have any sauces in your cupboard FM ?

Oh sounds great FM
chemical Hursh, so for me yes
pasta! I think I will have pasta too
Im serving mine with half and half
me too then. i mean i know the et words, but, chems are not my forte in general
half wine and half gin?
pents work the same as et words
LOL !!!
sorry couldn't resist :)
just use pent instead of et. chemicals work very obviously
ahhh how handy
I thought that was great FM!!
you know, i got re5/14 this morning, and now as i scrolled down my list, i saw it and thought "re-***"? what the heck is that?
pretty saaaaaad
lol I did that with something yesterday
After yesterdays grid hurshy I think we all have had cause to do that
nah, yesterday's grid didn't mess me up... my problems antedate it.
can I have a clue for the po 7/32? I know its a variation of the illegal irish booze, but I still can't get it.
Guess I had better head to the kitchen and start concocting. TTFN
the variouth op******* fortheth fathed on the thandth.
Hi Sharon - its got your second letter of the cooking vessel in it
to do battle and whatnot.
your second letter after the cooking vessel I meant
second letter?? there's no b in this grid.
Bye for now FM, take care
b? of sHaron
oh, thought you meant second of the alphabet
now I got it, thanks. sorry for the fog
my lithpeen clue wath no help?

i should have specified what i was doing.
Hursh - did you want clue for pe8?

Hi peri

bye Caitlyn, have a lovely girls weekend
aaaaaaaaa very merry unbirthday, to me, to me, a very merry unbirthday, to me, to me...
when was your birthday!!??
not getting the pe8 clue :(
july
you'e not alone peri
you're a dag!
it's a song from disney alice in wonderland...
what's a dag?
statistics prove, prove that you've ONE birthday, ONE birthday every year... but there are THREE hundred and sixty four UNbirthdays, and that is why we've gathered he4 to ch5...!
a silly dill is a nice version (australian exppression)- really an unmentionable thing hanging off a sheeps bum!
and a silly dill = a dag?
hi, all. does anyone know if there has EVER been a larger grid than yesterday's 599 words?
yes, ata said there was one over 600
pe8 writing instrument & color from baking in sun & ** Man River
yes, silly dill = dag ( it is an affectionate term)
i thought maybe dag stood for Disney Alice Guru
lol
ty, lynxx!
which, i'm not. i haven't seen it in ages.
i do like the songs though.
pe7 has same first 6 letters as the 8 & vowel
yes, about 620 I *think*
nice cluing lynxxx
Did anyone finish it?
but that was about 5 years ago wasn't it? Hope it doesn't happen for another 5 years!
ty, again, lynxx
I finished - totally exhausted
yep, people finished it. and yes, it was ages and ages ago
pre-bj, right?
yes
Wow! I get totally lost in the big ones, need Lickety for anything over 400 or so, can't see the forest for the trees
somewhere, lost in the mists of babble prehistory...
sprite and I can just about vaguely remember it
I loved it yesterday. I am going to continue doing Babble Stats as long as I play Babble.
it took me three hours to finish yesterday, which isn't bad.
ae4s ago
I did enjoy yesterdays - words were much easier to find than in many of the shorter ones - just took so much time - had to take breaks
and done!
anyone want any clues
Hooray for Phand!
can i have a clue for the re8?
to climb again
Evenin', folks!
hello Monkey
hi Monkey
Just got a first look at the grid.... I see that two things atart with the k. Is that possible?
lter, he's in bed... he always wants there to be a K in the grid and he'll never see this one. Oh well.
yes it it true
Poor Walter, that was supposed to start...
one is a very odd word 2nd ltr is v (4ltrs total)
Not kvetch, then... OK, I can work with that!
Found it. I see that kuvasz is not possible for the other one... I'll find it!
is he a k-philiac?
It seems so. He has been asking me to draw the letter K on his chalk board several times daily for nearly a year, and he always wants one to be in the grid. My name starts with K (I did not mean to devastate New Orleans, sorry!), so I guess I'm flattered.
I see!
My favorite phantom (except maybe nematode) is in the grid! Lepton!
yeah, I've been seeing that too
I just found a ca6 I don't recall ever seeing in a grid before. What fun!
Part of a saddle.
that's been in the grid before
I figured it probably had, I just haven't come across it so it must not be super-common is all.
So... election for the US folks tomorrow. Wow. First really interesting one in quite a LONG time. It could even, what's that concept again, Foment Change. Wow.
OOps, important e-mail. Back soon.
I am Angry!!Got bumped off of Babble and took forever to get back!!! Did I miss another clue for the pe8
Also need clues for the 8's I am missing. I have le8 and re8.
an 8 = an animal
clue forthe le8 pls!
thanks phan
pe 8 = similar to the 7 above it but diff ending
le8 an extra cons on the end of the skin
pe8 = writing implement + sun *** + chemical ending
add an n to the 7 above it
Ata (who is in the grid) do you have the le7/32
Ata - add a consonant to the end of the cured hide word.
po 8 = is plural
hi Jac!
ooo ty! I didn't have the hide word either!
brb dinner time
Hi everyone, btw.
hello again all - please clue the last re re6/21
always get confused with chemical endings
Jac, do you play Scramble?
re + op 4/5
good grief - ty phandmd - been looking for ages
yw, Ursh
Peri - Yes, I do.
I started a game with you but you have not played as yet, at least as of last night.
not getting the pe8
not getting the pe8
I haven't been on Facebook yet today, Peri. I'll go on there a bit later.
my, oh my... i just listened to a voicemail message that my Best Friend left me yesterday, and apparently *everyone* we know is pregnant!
peri, do you have the PE 7?
don't have the pe7
must be catching Eva, I know at least two people who are pregnant
hi Eva. Have you got news for us!?
i told her im not drinking whatever water theyre all sharing...
add a gas ending to the word
the scary one is that her brother-in-law and his wife are due with their EIGHTH child in the spring! *EIGHT!!*
then drop the last ltr and add another gas ending (2 ltrs)
bbl
*my 1st clue should have read: Add a gas ending to the "5" word
How wonderful for that family, Eva.
finally figured out the pe7 and pe8 thanks
i think theyre hoping for more, too... thats a LOTTA kids!
8 is a LOTTA kids
veggy carrot?
yes, it is a lot of kids, but is it a problem that they have a big family?
oh, no, not for them. i just personally find that to be an overwhelming thought.
Yes, I am overwhelmed with the 3 I have
i also dont personally find them to be very...kind people...and they few kids they had when i met them last werent very well-adjusted... but to each their own, i suppose...
I just asked, because I know some people who hate people who have big families. They think they are selfish or something
well, that could be a problem then Eva.
bbl
see ya peri
i feel that if you have the means to raise such a family, enjoy yourself, then. but if youre living off the government + keep having children, something should be done...
'Bye peri.
Is this family on welfare?
nope. i dont know how much they make (i dont believe she works) but i know theyre self-supporting.
well at least there's that
with 8 kids she surely works...haha
too true! i may not particularly LIKE the people, but i do admire their abilities!
Please could I have a clue for ha5/12 ?
ha + spainsh cheer

Eh, I'm doing what's called 'Today's Puzzle' what are you guys talking about?
I make po7... should have seen it.. but dull today i guess
mad... re8/45 means the word starts with re, has 8 letters, and is worth 45 points... can see how the scores are done by reading help section above the chat log
everyone is working on the same puzzle, mad
Kje, it happens to most of us at some point. :)
Oh ok thanks, got the first part, second part wasn't so sure.
are you familiar with lickety's clues, mad? see the link below the grid... very helpful
and welcome to Babble, Mad Giraffe
Meh, who needs to read a help file when you got friendly folks to help you out. :P
lol
Lickety's gives the first 2 letter clues
how many words today? (begs Dr God that it's not 599 again)
and welcome Mad. and Lickety's clues can be a god send .

ty KJE and Elder
nope, don't need that one elder... will keep looking : )
Just gor it le7/ ... hide.
your shoes..
Hi Babblers....I saw someone mention Noggin yesterday and was wondering if anyone can tell what that is?
oh... a different one elder
hello Chiley, not a term I am familiar with.
Kje, sorry, not there.
other le7 - le + 2 articles in a row (parts of speech article)
noggin as in head?
no idea what you are talking about... the only noggin i know is slang for your head
kje . thanks.
yw
I believe it is a game or site...maybe part of Facebook or MySpace?
well brain more really
no idea chiley
Chiley. I have no idea.
google it
ah...thanks anyway. I remember that they were saying Scarlet is on there often, but I don't know how to find it.
I tried that but only came up with a preschoolers site
thanks anyway.
it's on facebook
hello Ata, and to the rescue for Chiley.
good time to just take a look in!
Could not have timed it better :)
I hope she saw
I'm watching a great programme on Titanic. Not entirely sure what's different to other Titanic programmes though
Looks as though she may have gone.
I saw that and decided against. Thought it might be much of the same.
I play Noggin on facebook
so far, exactly the same, with cooler graphics
You have to be a member of facebook and noggin is one of the applications/games you can add
but pretty pictures of icebergs!
hello all
Recording Spooks, but I wish they would not kill off the characters, just as you get used to them, but I guess that's the spying game.
hi peri
Scenery would be lovely. hello peri.
saer
I *wish* I could get into Spooks. I lost the plot half way through the first season and never managed to get back into it again
oops
jacq, your covered not a word.
It happens sometimes.
now something more interesting - they think the weakness was actually in the rivets holding the plates of the hull together
I'd be so good at this game if imaginary words were allowed.
Mad, we all think that, at times.
phew, slips back out of the pb, leaves my wine behind
Ata, because they built it too quickly, in haste to get it on the water ?
from what they've been saying, not really. something about the amount of slag used in the rivet heads - they used the right % of slag to weaken the iron in one particular direction - which was the direction the force was pushed in with the impact
What the hell? According to lickety there's a word starting with kv?
In english?
but they haven't said whether having impure metals was a haste thing or just one of those things of those days
yep kv4
Ata, the vessel was so unlucky.
ever so
Mad. try every combination around the Kv it will get you there.
aha - harland and woolf ordered a lesser standard of iron for the rivets. not a bad one, but not the best one
if they had used a higher grade, they say that the sinking would still have happened, but titanic would have stayed afloat long enough for a complete rescue
Oh, awful.
plus the chaos of a ship sinkage etc etc etc etc, but they are suggesting that the rivets were the "straw that broke the camel's back"
Today, people would sue the shipping company for millions.
can you *imagine*
...and Parliament and Gordon.
and the insurance claims would be soooo huge that half our insurers would go bust
and yet again it would rest on the tax payers in one form or another :)
well of course! *facepalm*
lol
we'd all find ourselves part-owners of random insurance companies as well as banks
Eugh, searched the kv4 word on Wikipedia....russians...
What joy ! we are so rich and don't even know it.
aren't we lucky!
Mad, another site which may be helpful for you is 'More Words.
english-dictionary.us is also helpful in a way
yes. I lay in bed thinking, what I will do with all the money when we have money returned to us in tax rebates.
all 52p of it? cynical, moi?
lol
Buy candy.
Life and taxes have taught me that.
mad. :)
I must be blind, cannot see the ha4/6
1st one is laughing
Sorry peri, have yet to get all the h's.
hello everyone -- back for the last 50
hello cyber.
duh, thanks Ata, was getting a headache looking for that stupid word, was looking in the wrong direction
peri - hell ha** no fury like a woman scorned
ha 4/5: archaic verb
thanks cliff, had that one
Ooh tricky.
titanic inquiry: recommended that number of lifeboats be based on the number of people on board. well, what a good idea!
hindsight is 20/20 you know
Ata, that has always been an issue.
hello wild.
hi elder
I know *sigh* it just seems so obvious
having enough lifeboats is missing out on a good opportunity of natural selection
Which I think, legislation was brought in to deal with that.
hi everyon! just getting back on line, my isp quit last night and i was left with 84 words on yesterday's grid.
mad, that is dreadful.
Natural selection always is.
but that wasn't natural seclection
hello To. what a relief for you.
hi TO!
man made selection.
hi elder, hi ata, hi peri and all
God put that iceberg there.
exactly, elder
the iceberg, strangely enough, wasn't the problem
bbl
It sure helped though.
Hi, Owl
*is not having such a stupid discussion*
:)
Yeah, sorry.
anyway, it ended up an interesting programme :)
bbl to finish, 42 left, not liking this grid
Ata, good. so rivets and man were the problem.
Bye for now Peri.
nothing changes much.:)
apparently so
there was one interesting bit about the number of lifeboats, and it's hard to see in this age, but way back then after the Victorian era of such confidence and belief in Britain and its abilities ... one of the people said that they didn't think they needed lifeboats, because titanic iitself was like a lifeboat
if the ship was said to be unsinkable, then unsinkable it was
ata, i vageuly remember being taught somehow that that attitude fllew in the face of god, being such an extreme manifestation of human's pride.
yes, such great belief in the wonders of boat building.
They never said it was 100% unsinkable you know.
and it makes much more sense to me, looking at it through that shift in world view. it's just strange ... and interesting how different and how similar times are
I can never understand how people thought that a huge thing made out of metal could not sink. But I think that about planes.
lol yes!
Dropping rather than sinking.
Yeah the planes are astounding.
Especially if you've seen them in real life.
Seen and been in the things ..
far too many times
Also walked on ground zero?
no, but the english equivalent, yes
Mad. not there but others places of great sadness.
I've only ever walked under a plane, never been in one really. But I guess I'm not missing out.
lol. planes are cool
so cool, you need blankets a times.:)
I've flown in everything from commercial planes to RAF Tornadoes to helicopters to baby Danish army planes that felt like they were falling apart
oh gosh, yes
Heh nice.
Shudders... smaller the plane the worse it is.
More of an actual experience of flight you mean.
Ata, How did you get to fly on Tornadoes
my father was a pilot, then I was in Air Cadets for 7 years. I've been in all sorts of things. All fun.
It was one of the Air Cadet summer camp prizes for best cadet of camp
How exciting Ata. What memories.
oh yes, air cadets was *amazing*. we had such fun
small planes can glide.
so can big planes. just not much
To not far enough for me :)
lol and helos sink like a stone.
yep!
but they are a blast to fly in
I do *love* helicopters though
yes!!!!
addicting
absolutely. I love love love them
I can manage without helicopters.
I'd rather have a jetpack.
Am sitting here gripping at times to the desk and chair as girls you speak.
awww sorry elder!
Or one of those glide suits, that seems pretty awesome.
ever see the pix of igor sikorsky trying out his new invention! a mad man!
HI, last one, TO6/18, any clues please?
Ata, its ok, will have stiff drink before bed.
to6 = weight + dimuniative
eek this grid is a little stinker!
yes, it's not fun
yesterday was insane. i shudder to think what happened to me since i left 84
there hiding.. little devils.
TYVM, Fireworks!!
PB, elder :P

well, you just have to put it in your hold luggage ...
i alwyas have a bag i can use to live with in case mine are lost. being a shortie it's not possible to just go to replace clothes off the rack.
and you can take up to 200ml or 300ml depending in your hand luggage, which is actually a decent amount
Has taken me ages to figure out the my last ne/4 thought I would go bonkers. La.. la.. ..oh, I have..

*not to do
BBL I don't know why this is taking me so long, the words are quite easy once you find them
cute name, Perking Lot, nan! And I DO need clues but housework is much more important!
Eugh le8.
It just doesn't make any sense anyway you go.
sounds typical, Mad
...was that a clue or a jab at my personal being, I can't tell the difference.
I mean a senseless word in the grid is typical
add a cons to le 7 before, mad
Haven't got bigger then le5...
And le5 is a silly word.
le 7....animal hide
Oh yeah...eh wtf.
Nevermind.
but I just got le8 and it's not senseless
Who uses it?
I've never heard it.
It's a bit old fashioned and poetic
poets
dinner....bye all
Blasted poets.
oh that blasted he5
you mean blasted po**s
oops yes
Oh, apparently i didn't have po4 yet.
bet you do now
Yup, got 'em all.
le8 was used in the Bible -- Mark 1:6
Amongst a bunch of other very outdated words.
oh you've got a coelacanth, jilli! yay!
yes, ata, and you have a Hobbit, right? :D
yes a devil hobbit :D
I love coelacanths
pe 6/24?
why, ata?
"living fossils". and my phd examiner is the world's biggest authority on them
and I'm a fish palaeontologist
That's kind of specific.
academic doctors tend to be
I thought it was just marine palaeontology and that's it.
actually I work on non-teleost neoptergyian actinoptergyians
atalante, you are a woman of so many talents!
pe 6/21, a hint, please
i love the fact that i know (?) a woman who works on things that I can barely pronounce, let alone understand
can I get a clue for le 8 besides "it's in the Bible"?
well, there's a bundle of words to google!
not-far bone new wing something something something.
nm, got the pe 6
thanks for the pe6, btw. got pretty easy from the living fossil clue
there already was one, miles. add a consonant to a well-known le7
Gotta love science latin.
the le 8 is like the one before, but with a consonant added on at the end
*grins* scientists love big words :D
Makes them sound important.
no, we all just like the sound of words and what they mean
neopterygians. just correcting a typo mistake.
Abusing a dead language.
hah. that was how i WAS pronouncing it, only way it made sense to me. thanks, ata
just came in, and have a le 7, but not the right one
abusing??!
thought that y was in the wrong place!
all my word processing packages are set up so I only have to type "neo" and it prints "neopterygian", cos I simply can't type it properly!
cool word
nightmare to spell word too :P
no, spelling is fine, typing is the problem!
how could I miss an ha word when it's standing up straight right in front of my nose?
looool jilli :D
I am getting round to lexulous, jilli, I'm still clearing emails from my last 2 weeks of floundering around pathetically with a stomach bug
oh good, ata -- it seems to be working now -- just finished a game with jacula
I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you on it! I'm just way behind with *everything*!
hope the bug is gone now, ata.
hopefully. horrid bugs
hi again, all
Aren't you up awfully late for someone who was up awfully late last night, Ata?
's ok, ata -- they weren't very good about emailing people at first, I think
Hello, all!
yep! I was just about to say I'm running off to bed now!
how bout the ac6?
but I did sleep nearly all morning lol
hey vic
nighty night, ata -- good to see you!
nighty night, ata! sleep well
Well, good night then, dear!
ac6 -- add opp of SW to the pain
night night everyone! *hugs all*
ac6/24 - pain + o-- two three
ty, vic
miles, I guess you didn't see my clue at 6:15
have le 8 and re8 - what are theo ohter please?
I think miles got it, jilli!
an8
yes, vi
an8/45
now I need the ae6!
pe, po 8
it's a kind of deer vic
po8/45
ty, jm!
ae + mo**** or fa****, (mom & dad)
Thanks, miles, but I have them all. I was answering Temple Owls's question!
oops!
=)
ty, jessmom! I have the more traditional spelling one, should have seen that one
yw :)
is the pe from the pe7? and is there an ae8???
Hi, all!
yes and no TO
pe8 is a chemical witht eh same prefix as pe7, but doesn't build directly offf it.
ty - must look for pe 7 thought i had it!
no ae8, TO
hi all. I see we survived yesterday intact?
hi doren, my isp was a casualty of yesterday. i could not get on to finish.
Hi, dorens
oh no, owl, i am sorry
hey pam
and, hi, TO, and vic, and all
Hello, pam.
ok - off to dr. i go. i hate this, hope pharmacy is still open when i get out of there.
Good luck, TO.
an7? It's not related to the an8, is it
it starts the same though
an7 is not related to an8. Its an7 word completely.
fab clue, vic
Hmmm, that's not entirely helpful.
yeah, but I'm still a dunce
ty Vic
good luck owl. and yes, great clue vicuna
vic's making me work for it
I believe everyone should work for their words, miles! =)
Tch, they're using old words, and 'eale' isn't one of them.
But try the sshow biz song "An7 opening an7 show..."
heh heh
good luck, TO
Rule Number One of Babble: the dictionary it used, Enable, is HIGHLY erratic.
*uses
no sh**! some words are NOT words
anyone want clues?
and some that are are not used
Pfeh, dictionaries.
We all rail against ENable, but ultimately, you shrug and move on!
to6 please Phan
phand, some help with the an7? vic's clue is good, but I am dumb
You need an7 clue?
yes
what you want an* clue?
yes
why should I give you an* clue?
you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was a clue Miles
lol, miles!
oh
;-)
need several fish now
to6 please
just like yoda said
heavy weight + allow
ty Phan
like that one, phand
to6 its neither one nor *he o****
takes a bow
ty Lynxxx
that is good as well. I just went to the 1st to6 word
ty lynxx
that gets you a p6 too
Tch, 'neopet' also isn't in the dictionary.
yeah, I saw "meds" the other day, and that's less strange than some I've seen this Enable thing do
I mean, it wouldn't let meds in
Though it would disturb me if it were, but ach I'm giving up for bed.
Maybe the next one'll be easier.
Ta ta.
Goodnight, Mad Giraffe. You're probably better off being mad before you star Babble. That way perhaps it will drive you sa4.
bye MadG
Erg, didn't have that one yet Vic you bastard.
lol, then you'll soon be even sa5!
Before today I thought I was good with words
It may yet be true, Forealms!
HI
hi Infernal

Hello, herinfernal.
Happy day of drinking Lynxx oh and i believe there is a horse race too

they are plural of the 4/4 above them; latin and regular
an5/10's are latin and English pl of the an4 immediately before them.
hi lynxx ((hugs)) hi dorens ((hugs)) hi dan and thank you! ((hugs))
I could have sworn half the words I'm typing in aren't words

MRP, did you buy another home?
we moved in January, and are now moving into a big big home (cause one finally came up for rent!) that will suit us better. hi pam! won't buy for a couple of years yet... still too unstable in the market place
hope the move goes well for you mrp. are you really painfree now?
Mr Pres can't take most stuff due to anti depressents. I am sticking a vic stick up my nose though.
Sounds like a great interim move, MRP. Congratulations on your bionic, pain-free, narc-free existence!!!!
ANd Mr Pres happy for you all being bionic women too
thanks guys! Yes, I am pain-free! Almost past the stage of the pain of narcotic addiction pain too... won't be much longer now... I give it a couple of weeks!
sinus issue here, too, herin
I think the lanta has something to do with it. Hence day off
i always use strong hot & sour soup when too clogged
am getting used to the bionic arm... it is behaving well... it used to flip around and do abit of a dance when it felt like it, but the muscles and tendons are coming back
Mr Pres HUGS
clue for the ha 5/12 please??
isn't it a public holiday in Vic today infern?
That is great, MRP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
glad to see you and your cheerful attitude back mrP

OH and the thing I love about Melbourne Cup is playing spot the stupid orange tan
hi gang! special hi to mrp!

liked it as a kid, with big dollop of sour cream in it
hi, feather
hi featherbee!!! ((hugs))... it has been so so long since I have seen you!! Hope you are well.
Feather monster HUGS
I wish I had a taste for it, dorens...
HUgs all round to for ever one i missed
yeah, no kidding! i was sucked into a facebook game, but the game has changed and is less addicting, so i've been back here again more often lately. what's this about a bionic arm? man, it really has been a while!
there is another food that I am not too fond of here... po7/32... never got into it
but, I love semolina pudding!
hi feather
I've never had it before
can i have a clue for the po8 please?
hi dorens ;)
it's plural
Feather what game?
i went off for an operation in June to repair my arm, got a whole lot of titanium and bone grafting done. am doing fine now
oh goodness.. fireworks on a fish. thanks ph
Yah Dorens
yeah
herin, packrat. it was super addictive, but they totally revamped it, so now it's not so much. still kinda fun, but not the same.
yw, Dorens,
well done dorens!
glad to hear it's mending well finally mrp!
yay, dorens!

My 13 year old son made Beef Stew for dinner tonight for the first time. It was good!
expect long lines all day Tuesday; trying to judge best ti'nn'e to go
Oh yes Feather i know the game
Oh yes Feather i know the game
even locals are hotly contested
my sample ballot said between 10 and 4
so no one was impressed by my son?
but college town & a good few have registered here since contested state
excellent, phand! I am wandering about..... on an off the site....
ce5, anyone?
congrats phan; i started 'nn'ine early & also lots of scout ca'nn'ping trips, since I was cooking dinner by 8-9; y 10yo hates to let 'nn'e in the kitchen --wants to do it all
add a vowel to the money
Phan I am sooo behind in the chat. I think that is awesome about you son
thanking you
Anyitme I don't have to cook is a happy day.
He thinks he would like to go to culinary school
but then again he was thinking architecture before
great life skill
wow, it must have been good.
OH that is wonderful Phan. Does he have home ec in school?
I think he needs to do something with math or science. But he is still young yet
No. no home ec
ok i'm new , how do u play?
well actually they do have a class they take in 6th grade but they call it life skills. but they didn't do this sort of thing.
They cooked pancakes
come to think of it, he has been on a cooking spree today, he made waffles for breakfast this morning
(they were out of school today for a teacher's work day)
I don't think there are traditional prerequisites, as culinary school is all in one, not a four-year type school
We have this wonderful book called Cookery the Australian way ITs a fantastic cook book for beginers
that's great, Phan! I wish my son had learned to (enjoy) cooking. He can do it, but he's too lazy. Now, I fear for what he eats (or doesn't).
feels great to create things
*f*i*r*e*w*o*r*k*s*
I think you could go not knowing how to boil water, and they would teach you, although most people who go do know how to do things in the kitchen
yeah jilli
awesome jilli
Well, he did have a good example in his father, he cooks all meals when he is home.
yay, jilli!
good job Jilli
I like it when my bf cooks for me, but my mom taught me and I'm pretty good. I make desserts more often
bernadette - help key on top; also helpful is lickety's list under friends of babble lower left top center col - open in new window
thanks, all, and I'd like to stay and clue but it's bridge night and I have to rush, get supper early and GO
thanks
have fun at bridge tonight jilli!
Our school system has a career and technology center and they have a cullinary class. He might do that in HS, he has to wait until 11th grade though
bernadette, no words under four letters--that's a biggie.
yes, have fun at bridge
sc 5 12 is 5 letter word whose tiles add to 6 - the 5 doubles [word value is (total tile values)*(#tiles - 3)]
but that's a rule in boggle too I think
I'd like to, natts, but my partner is a bit of a dragon -- however, flosey will be there, as well as some other pals
Phan i think kids should be taught to cook in year 7
use the stats on the bottom to ascertain what to start with, and you will see them blue out when you finish one
switches to new grid at 12a'nn' central US ti'nn'e [a key is broken, the double is letter twixt L & N]
Phan http://tinyurl.com/6cj9d8 this is what we use
you get fireworks in the stats box if you finish the grid
no pts in boggle
right--but you can
can't use three letter ones?
it's been a while since I played that
ah, got 'ya
He would probably enjoy that, Lady
It is in metric not pounds
of course, we are the only weirdos when it comes to weight and measures
wait, the brits have the "stone". That is not metric
My copy of the book is so well loved it has notes all the way through it and the cover has fallen off
the virtues of keeping an independent spirit
but isn't that only used for human weight?
do they have scales that change stone into kg?
you can print either on a scale - even overlap
yes
1 stone would be less than 7 kg
yes we do. We are not that far behind in the dark ages.
is the yes in answer to my question?
maybe not
I don't use stone for human weight we use pounds
or kilos
I never knew how much it weighed until I started watching "You Are What You Eat"
hello all. A clue please for that re6/21..the last one of the re's. thanx
re + op 4/5

hb herin
The skins have predicted 17 of 18 elections
ask an7 person holly

thanks ndanlia

It was the last election that was predicted incorrectly
so the skins and the poles were wrong last time.
well, that was thanks to the courts etc
anyway, good night
have heard of a few weird 'nn'achines this year 'nn'aking up their own choices
enjoy
Dan, do you have a problem with your M key
yes need to wait for owner's return next 'nn'onth

good evening everyone. How are you all?

hi red
Really good today...and I wish i could finish. I think I am stuck...at eactly half way...
re8?
greetings and salutations
awww
hi with
hi red, so how was 1st 30 days?
30 days?
isn't is about that in new job
I just did my second official day at work. It has been very good so far.
yay red
great, red!
ah, so you had ti'nn' between?
I had a week off and then a week of taking tests for the job and such...
kje...are you coming home for the election?
i had a good day at work too, red... i am covering the medicine consult service, so saw surgical patients with the residents... youngest was 68, oldest was 98... the 98 year old still lives independently and is a cool old guy
*F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S*
woohooo lady!!!!
i voted early red
yeah
Yaaay Lady!!!!!
woohoo ladynatts!!!! wtg!
(my last few words were fishes though)
kje. I took care of a 97 yr old lady....the other day and I ahve a question...
down to 35 and plodding away
ok
nice work Lady
SO you shall watch the returns from the Marshall Islands?
fireworks? im guessing you finished the puzzle? good for you then (im new here)
yes... far enough away to mourn in private if needed
welcome with
I gave her a cup for the UA...and eventually gave her a glass of water...
yes fireworks are what you see when you successfully complete a grid
thx
yes, without...you get fireworks when you finish the grid.
welcome without! yes, you get fireworks when you finish
heh
yes, red?
cool beans
very
and when I returned in about 20 min, I found her still in the bed trying to get a UA in the tiny cup...balanced on it...
Which I thought was bizarre for a lady who was A and O....
ill never know that i dont think... i gots 163 words left, and not that big of an attention span
now I have about 15 minutes to put away clean clothes and tidy this bed up (so we can actually sleep in it tonight) before I have to do my Monday evening routine - drive daughter to lessons, get rent money to son, etc. etc.
but do you think she is having some sort of processing issues with instructions or what was that?
rent money is good lady!!!
hooray for chores!
a & o is not the whole story.... but did you tell her what to do? if she had never had to do it before, she probably didn't know... or else she had undiagnosed delirium
hola rojo
anyway... off and running... have fun, everyone!
Yes, I told her etc and I even pointed to the bathroom which was about 40 feet away...
very hard to say over the computer red... but yes, she needs to be evaluated for 1) delirium, 2) CVA, 3) dementia
I thought it was a bit of dementia or something.
I mentioned it to the doctor who called her primary...
neither wanted to admit her...
poor lady, must have been very confused
but she did turn out to have a UTI, sooo.
Maybe the confusion was cuased by UTI.
I had an undiagnosed delirium once..
It was a bit funny kje.
now its just diagnosed?
the workup can be done outpatient red, and in general, if an older person doesn't absolutely have to be admitted, they are better off not coming in... hospitals are dangerous places for them
but worried me a lot.
i suspect you live with a bit of D, ruru
exactly nDan....kje diagnoesd RURus issues.
how do you play this game?
Thank you kje.
ebwarren there is the help box...with all sorts of information.
yw... glad you noticed... many would ignore it.
just like boggle ebwarren, find words and type them in the box
help key top right; also useful licketys list under friends of babble lower left top center col -- open in new window
AAHH! Thank you!
welcome eb... see help above the chat log
kje, how can you ignore a 97 yr old lady in a gurney perched on a specimen cup!!!!!!!!
you would be surprised red...
I was standing there is total disbelief...
makes ya want to run right out and get old, doesn't it?
red! was she SITTING on top of the specimen cup ?
yes monkey she was...
oh my Lord & Taylor
how is she with shot glasses?
that is not inevitable jean.... my 98 year old man today is doing great... and jean clemente lived alone into her mid 100 and teens, and died with a sharp mind at 122
I say we vote ruru off the island... all in favor?
ruru, that's just gross
no no ruru is ecellent entertainment.

*raising hand*
I am voting!
i voted early
some states have had voting for the past 2 weeks
i am voting manana at 6 am
absentee ballot [for those working out of state or on vacation, etc]
we ARE talking about the vote to send ruru off the island, right?
Early voting has been for 2 weeks in Fl, NC for most of October, or by absentee.
& few states allowed this year
i so wish i could vote at my school. sucks to teach in a different district/voting area/whatever. would be so nice to just be able to go to work and vote!
same in IL
oh i am voting ruru off the island tonight, and voting for our new prez tomorrow AM
was that manana or banana lil mon key?
clue for the pe8 please
Monkey will vote for banana.

red did, monkey... can you believe it?
Hi Red- good to see you
I should find another game where I am appreciated..

Keep ruru! He is a great guy!
LOL
like you would leave ruru... - LOL : )
*** takes marbles and leaves ****
2 votes for ruru, 2 against... it is almost as close as the real election
I vote to keep Ruru.. we have very few males
every gathering needs a ruru
*steals ruru's marbles*
you have marbles, ru? i thought you lost those long ago

I vote to keep ruru

kje, you need to put the weed explanation in your profile or something! you always confuse somebody when you start it!
me too red.... sigh
no or know/
?
i agree monkey... sigh
"Jeopardy!" wasn't on tonight...pout
ruru... do not mock me... i can always do worse to you... never forget that : )

ROFL
LOL feather
it is called both a shrub and an ornamental plant in Wikipedia
not a WEED kajee, miss Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
seeeeee? i'm "ornamental". *pbthththth*
very ornamental in certain circles..
hi hi
my sister's name is heather... when we were kids we looked it up in webster's... it defined it as a scottish flowering weed... after that we called her weed
hi pini Mini Cooper
but you KNOW monkey Wiki cant be cited in COllege papers anymore, so perhaps it is not sooo valid.
not sure being "ornamental" is superior to weed....
hehe
Hi Pinik.
hi pini

will need to work on it ru, can't see it, but thanks for the clue... i'll get it eventually
Oooh the monday is hitting me, suddenly exceptionally tired.
do you have the last po6?
irish 'nn'oonshine
no
omg, 70 to go - and yes, my list is OP4/5!
s
okay lets try this..
lol
Friend's mom, 84 yrs old, healthy but followed for a few years for "scarring" on lungs--PET scan neg last yr, now with mass in chest and mediastinal adenopathy--->non-small cell carcinoma. Woman feels great. How bad is radiation + chemo (given crappy prognosis) vs be happy with remaining time??
good night all.
kajee, 3 letter word for maryjane + i am , ** is, you are + who what where wh** why
po6 sounds like an old person gait
nite to
greetings all
PO + *** problem is + **able (the dictionary)
Hi AK
Oh dear ...help me please! I have 2 left. An H and a T??
hi knit
hi cat
ha5? Read down from 2nd column--there it is!
TY, got it... never looked up, kept trying to use the durn L
lol, KJE, are they spelling this out for you?
hi owl, knitty, gramma, assG
thanks for your patience... now i feel guilty for calling for a vote (but only a little : )
anyone complete last nights monster
hi everyone, I'm only 1/2 in the chat, so apologies if I don't respond
hush asg!
noooooooooooooooooooo, never even started
hi monk
(if only to make snide comments to kje)
hi
can't believe I totally missed it yesterday
pb asg
Answer us, NOW, ASG! Or else someone might vote you off Babble Island.
casting my ballot
cool, tx nDan!! :)
hi all
*raising hand in favor*
someone must get voted off...
Hi N!
throws in the ones i got earlier...
ok down to the h
all those in favor say aye
Did you see my question, kje?
Scrabbs, can I really be voted off? I'm holding the idol!
i propose that the two tribes on Babble Island be called "clueless" and "trollbusters"
any nominations for tribe leaders and buff colors?
i am clueless -- charter member of that gorup
I haven't really been paying attention, asg. Is Ringo our idol?
oh hell, vote me off and I'll go take a bubble bath instead of finishing this grid!
did you say a Babble bath?
lol Scrabbs
Hi. what have i done know to be voted off the island?
this grid is nasty, nrk
scrab... that is a hard call, and not just a medical decision. It is up to her how she would like to spend the next couple of years. Where is the mass? is it resectable or close to mediastinum?
21 to go
asg had the hidden immunity idol???? darn it!!!
where did she hide it????? on her person?????
**passes on rude comment **
Close to mediastinum and not operable. A supraclavicular node was biopsied.
you don't wanna know
ruru! i thought you left
**wondering what ruru's rude comment would be**
something about assG hiding the immunity idol...
scrab i give chemo to a lot of "old" people. often it is for symptom management, radiation too
now I have to go.. later .. have fun everyone!
that is bad then... it will depend entirely on her wishes... some people need to feel they have done "everything" possible, and others choose to go and have a great vacation... seriously have had both responses. She needs to have a quite frank discussion re: her probability of success with the oncologist... force some straight answers, they are not known for being honest
I am just wondering if it is "worth" it for an 84 yr old woman.
hugs ru, see you later
good night ruru
The family (7 kids) are meeting with the mom tonight. The father died when the youngest was a baby so this mom is the beloved, tough matriarch.
84 is a lot younger than it used to be, imo
the only one who can decide if chemo / treatment is "worth it" is the patient
Love this! For anyone hesitating to get to the polls: Vote like a crazed weasel with its head on fire that has to vote in order for someone to dunk its head in a bucket of water, thus dousing the fire and eliciting a collective sigh of relief from every other potentially flammable weasel, stoat, or ocelot in the vicinity.
positive nodes is a bad prognostic sign, as you know. But will also say, they are doing better with nonsmall cell than when we were in training... amzing breakthorughs in the last couple years
ummm, OK then, Une
c's are done
Waves HEllo
i need 3more Cs
59 left
you don't think it's funny, monkey?
lord is there AN lung cancer that can be "cured"
Yes, AK, and I told my friend to accept the mother's wishes whatever they are. I wonder what I would do for myself--probably take some trips, spend time with friends.
age is no longer a major consideration in giving chemo or not. performance status rules
Asgreen, i've been meaning to ask the meaning of your name
is this thing on?
me too scrab... I would go enjoy the time i had left and then say adios...
ae6? I'm not seeing it...
AK, she is otherwise in good health...not fragile medically or physically except for this dx.
Une I love the weasel statement.
hi herinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!
*testing..1..2..3..testing..is this on?**
me too, red :-)
then chemo is def. an option. we do it all the time. there are newer better tolerated drugs and great new antiemetics
oh, my name? it's just, um, my name! A (Amanda), S is maiden name, Green is a short version of my last name.... I'm as green as they come!
I think I am going to have to go to work for 4 hours tomorro for a girl to go to the polls, but I am thinking she hasnt bothered to vote over the past few weeks, she will probably just enjoy the afternoon off...
Thank you I am here
HI HERIN!!!
howdy, herin!!
her age is not the real consideration here... I would say the same for a 40 year old... metastatic NSCLC is hard to beat... very very hard
HELLO HERIN!
OK greenie
greenie - LOL
*waves at Herin*
Hi. I was hoping today was election day. What is the countdown till epic fail leaves
we're all called that actually
my ex got US citizenship this year and is voting for the first time, as is his wife (who's American!)
cure is not usually an option but comfort is at the top of our list of goals
Ak & kje, I suspect that this mom will opt for treatment.
now we need to know for whom Une!!
ae6 please??
We had a drunk guy screaming in the ER today at one of our nurses from Laos..
ugh, McCain . . . altho their daughter is voting for Obama!
not a bad choice scrabs. at any time she can stop. it puts to rest that nagging "if only" question
He scramed, "Do yall enjoy all the freedom ya got here now??
a + et5
ae6 alt spelling for olden anesthetic
anesthetic gas
ae 6 - a + anestetic gas from long ago
god i need to learn to type
what an ass, red
and spell
lol
at the same time
jeezomeez, red . . .
I told my friend that even if her mom chooses tx, she may end it if the adverse effects are awful or if the disease progresses rapidly
It was actually sort of funny...the nurse has a great sense of humor...
how fortunate! LOL
if she truly had a negative PET one year ago, and now has metastatic disease... this is extremely fast growing
Scrabs, what a heartbreaking choice to have to make . . .
what diesease?
sound advuce scrabs. most symptoms are managable as long as some one tells us they are experiencing them. i always tell my patients family to feel free to squeal
hmm, I guess I don't have THAT et.... urg urg urg
Une its a little hard not to have a lot of humor...The nurse looked him straight in the eye and said, Yes sir I do...
ok, got it
:-D
Yep...bad dx. But she is 84 and has been healthy til now and will have time to prepare
u
n
one more a - the ac6....

Nut--non-small cell lung carcinoma.
re8 help please?
go kje go!!!!!
re + as6
re + climb
re + climb again
i thought that non small was a good thing, even if its the lung...ok, i guess no lung is good, nevermind, i'm a putz
add 1/2 of the goose to the ac4, asg
thanks!
somebody close my tab on babble please, i seem to not have the willpower to do it myself....
oops on my clue - lol
hi again nut
TY for your input, kje & AK.
84 is a good long life to have enjoyed. they need to enjoy what is left of it with her, however long it might be.
don't go weed!!! stay!!!
No Feather we like you here
hi again owller
**making feather's computer go into SHUT DOWN mode**
stay herbee stay!
Hi nuttie
yeah but i have 6 report cards to do! and i've done half of one in the last half hour!
small cell in lung cancer is more curable than nonsmall cell
it is hard to explain but having the time to wrap things up and say good bye is vey comforting
feather--get some sleep, you deserve it.
SOme kid really wants that done....
oops, not the whole computer scrabs....that's where i'm doing the cards. hmm, i think perhaps i see the problem....
goose kje?
hawaiian goose... ne4/4
Hawaiian goose. ne 4
snap
oh yeah... I forgot about that word!!
Yes, AK, and I told my friend that preparation for death is a gift in a way, for all involved.
that is b/c you neglect babble too much, asg
got the ac - tx!!!
LOL feather
fireworks
oooh, my only comeback will offend everyone else!
oh gosh 74 left...and so sleepy.
woohoo wild!!!
Bottom row is grey....whoop-dee-doo.
you can do it red
ty
Yippee Wildcat!
i agree scrabs. i feel honored to attend to someone when they die. like i said hard to explain
wished I hadn't missed yesterday's grid
lol Scrabs! go go go!
tyty
gonna run cya tomorrow
yay, i got a head of anubis kje! (talking another game, everyone). ok, going to go finish this card, as a reverse reward.
bye, cat
done
lucky you, weed... i get NOTHING!
AK, 3 wks ago right now I was with my dear friend (39) as she was nearing the end. Brain cancer got her. 10:43 PM
and i cannot see this last dang word
and a good half of those last 21 words I should have gotten without the list
woohoo nrkii!!!
omg kje - are you doing this with no list?
Scrabbler do you know Elsh?
It was an honor to be with her those last 2 days, to comfort her.
oh scrabs, mary has passed away? i missed hearing about that.
I have seen Elsh he4.
no, i opened the list at 15 left
kje, what's left?
my thoughts and sympathies to you and her family
Well I am very proud of her doing that.
she was lucky to have you with her. i truely believe that we are born preprogramed with a life expectancy and it is our job to make the best use of it. caring for the dying is very rewarding
i am weird i know
0
Yes, Mary died on Oct 13th. It has been a very sad few wks. I saw the kids in the office on Saturday for well child visits (8, 4, 12 months). Everyone is doing "OK."
wtg kje!
((((Scrabbler)))
wtg kje!
they will carry a part of their mother with them forever, she is not really gone,, just dispersed in another way
oh right.....i was leaving....
not weird, AK... I agree with you... many clinicans feel too uncomfortable and desert their patients at that time. Your patients are lucky to have you.
*kindly points herbee to the exit, which is actually the bathroom*
The kids, the older 2, believe that Mommy is just living somewhere else: Heaven, and that she is having a great time with JC and deceased relatives and angels, etc.
g'night feather!
she needs to pee?
I have been with dying patients also as a pastoral minister at the cancer hospital he4.
i don't know her that well kje, do you?
*AHEM*
why pointing her to the BR?
i have often thought ot that scrabs. my brothers are both dead. they died 25 years apart to the day. one in an accident and one of cancer. i wondered if they would recognize each other. as kids they were so tight
ahem?
doing report cards, but easily flipping back here to see what's being said about me! and no, i don't need to pee, thank you very much! lol
could I ask a medical question, while there are experts in the chat?
LOL
I'm no expert, but I love giving an opinion! :)
*pretends not to be here while medical questioning starts*
yeah, what's the medical name for procrastination?
indeed
and why haven't you taken your turn, missy? have you seen whjat I played?
the other day, when I said here that I prob have to get rotator cuff surgery, someone said 8 weeks recovery
feather it is babble didn't you know that?
it is denial, feather... a common defense mecahnism
Slacker Feather?
and, speaking of report cards - we had teacher conferences today... my kiddos are doing great!!
Feather, it is Lazy Ass Syndrome. No cure.
does that mean 8 weeks out of work, no driving, etc?, or 8 weeks till I'm feeling like normal but I can get back to normal things with some discomfort before then
LAS
kje, I was barely home today!!! and I'm working on the grid!! Did you get a bingo?
that means 8 weeks no golfing nrkii
nrkii, I have no opinion
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o
i'd better get my l.a to bed. night night, everyone!
eek ! did not realize it was so late. got to go as i have an early day tomorrow night all
darnit kje, darn it!!
GN TO
denial, yeah, that sounds about right. however, i've been plugging away at this one card while flipping back and forth. i've started doing better once i turned the tv off.
darn, and I was thinking of taking up golf...
I think you will be able to work quickly, within days, is my guess, and probably drive too.
nrkii... you should discuss this with your surgeon. Every surgeon is different and so it will be up to him
bingo in my game? oh crud!
or her
Bye Owl
we have Drake and Josh on he4/5.... great programming
no weed, not yours
i wish the shorter recovery 'nn'ethods would percolate thru drs faster - like that shortened hip replace. done on west coast
oh phew
I'm seeing the surgeon on Wednesday, so I guess I'll know soon enough, but I'm an habitual planner so it makes me crazy having to wait
Why do you call feather "weed", kje?
nDan, are you boycotting m's tonight?
Scrabbler Feather Heather Heather is a weed
nrkii - write all your questions down, and don't leave until they are answered... seriously
I am like that too, N. I want to plan everything and have NO surprises. being on-call is a problem.
they're incognito
I think nDan's "M" key broke a couple weeks ago
pet name, scrab... because she is scrappy and tough
OK, I get it.
good advice kje, thanks
The plant was introduced to New Zealand and has become an invasive weed in some areas
thanks Scrabbler!
Plus we really love Feather
see.... weed.... did you see what herin wrote!!!
And, N, get a 2nd opinion of you feel the need. You must trust the surgeon.
Yep. But we LOVEEEEEEE Feather
shoot, have to run... puzzle-with-mom time in 5 minutes... night all!
I love feather too... you do NOT love her more than I do! : )
Scrabbler, will do. Thank you again.
gn nrkii
As a pediatrician, when I see the word "weed" it reminds me of my naughty adolescent patients.
Bye N
i think weed actually left... durnit
I learn a lot from my teenage patients
awwww!!!! i was off finishing up the first report card, and got rewarded with seeing these warm fuzzies!
one down, 5 to go
I'd like to hang out with your teenage patients! ha ha
((Feather))...go go go on those report cards.
you teach K, weed... how hard can these report cards be... just stamp a bunch of smiley faces on them.... smiley faces for everyone!!!
44 to go, and getting a kiddo up to bed - no school tomorrow....and twin as at a sleepover.... bbs
asg... i saw hsm3 weekend before last....
I want to smack many of them upside the head, asg...so many are doing BAD things and are not ashamed to share all of it with me.
is there 2 KN words please
that is good scrab... they SHOULD share it with you
lol, i wish kje! there's a section on personal and social development, work habits, language arts skills, written expression, listening and speaking, fine motor skills, math, and science/social studies. ugh!
yeah, things have changed - the stuff they get into is MUCH worse than what we got into!
1 kn and 1 kv4
kje - new breed of k report cards here need a 'nn'anual to deciper - all these rubrics
I am going to marry Zac Efron. Dr Scrabbler Efron, sounds great, huh?
it would almost be easier to teach an upper grade, then i'd just have to do number crunching
KV ok
fine motor skills = scissor cutting
Scrabbs, what happened to George???
He will be crushed.
my kids' report cards are ridiculously long - I don't see how teachers can really fill so many details out per child... and they are only 9!
Zac is way cuter.
just passing through and definitely agree with feather on the subject of kindergarten report cards
Scrabbs - did you see my HSM pics? W/Zac himself?
Ange--you also teach K.
scissors, coloring and pencil grip. exactly asgreen!
are you a teacher too, ang?
yes i do
she teaches kindergarten too
ok that is a beer rye thingie
did not know that... aren't you cool!
Feather I hold my pencil wrong
ASG, you met Zac? Will you give him my e-mail? I can be his pediatrician!
but luckily i still have 2 weeks to finish mine
LOL scrab
how do you hold it herin?
lol Scrab! he's 21 - I think I was still going to my ped at 21. A ped and a gyne! lol
i have conferences with these parents tomorrow. bit of a deadline here.
um Thumb and rest it on the 3 finger not the 2nd
I had my conferences today.
that's fine herin. in fact, i do the same thing.
feather! shows feather the place to go do rept cards...
you're not doing a fist grip!
in the dark ages we just had E, G, A and NI
feather... step away from the chog...
oops, lost some of that. "as long as you're not doing a fist grip" was what i meant
scrabs, you are on my facebook, right? look up my hsm3 photo album
nope.
sigh.....ok ok.....on to the next one....
Some pediatricians "keep" kids til 25 or so and do adolescent care. I prefer to get rid of adolescents--nothing but trouble!
lol Scrabs! I loved my ped!! And I adore my kids' ped (different practice)
hagn all and take care
OK, must get other things done... be back in a bit... unless i fall asleep
woohoo on your finish asg... if you EVER get there : )
bye kj - hopefully I'll finish he4/5 and then I'll go take my turn
lol kje - thanks!!
SNL special is funny...
Feather i am a bit strange like that. Also i don't know my times tables
love the debate clip with tina fey
seen it 3 times, just as funny as the first
it grrreat
'nn'averick, botto'nn's up
Fey looks so mcuh like her it is uncanny.
ASG--Zac is a cutie in your pic! Such a doll!
clue for the po7 please
omg nDan, you are cracking me up with your 'nn's!
alt spelling irish 'nn'oonshine
they were all so nice and friendly!!

Yes, asg, those 'nn' = m = top secret cipher!
ok, must go kiss my daughter - and hug her too. Will be back soon! 40 to go

Aha, I am at 86/86 and must get to bed. I am working 8:30-8 tomorrow!
sleep well & vote early scrab
aaaah pleth is again not in the dictionary. It is indeedy a word. I swear it.
Can we vote til 9?
plethysmography, red?
i think polls here (in Virginia) close at 8, scrabs
not sure of ny ti'nn'es any'nn'ore
can we just have a new pres now?
that is not the real Plain...
phantom: plethora
palin.
We have to wait til Jan 20, 2009
that's really palin
OK, off to REM sleep. Bye.
WHAT really?
need 2 weeks for lawyers to earn $$$ filing suits
the real Palin is on SNL right now
Not tina Fey?
no, real one
nope
that was just plain SCARY!
darn it all, I can NEVER tell them apart.
it's almost not a joke what the real palin was saying@
my BF can't tell the real palin and Tinay Fey apart
sadly shirlock, it was not at all funny, not a joke at all.
they're really not that bad, any will be better than present, just varying degrees, and as long as you don't expect pro'nn'ises kept
is what i'm saying, SCARY!
Palin galvanized me. She offends me.
jumping in.....I agree - the Palin joke was NOT funny. Why would she want to say that? UGH! ....going back to lurkerdom.... :o)
SHe offends a lot of people
'nn'ost of our first 20 prez's wouldn't be elected today
Dan have you lost your M?
