oh bugger Kate... means it is going to be a quiet night on babble

1:05 am

1:15 am

(heads to list)...

1:15 am

well, it took me over an hour, all those other guys fireworked in the first 20 or 30 minutes, it seems.

1:16 am

congrats rbud

why the heck does white pages always crash my browser?

1:16 am

ru, just use the ti* abbrev. for half a lady's chest in at least 6 words, that might help, lol!!

1:19 am

fireworks

1:20 am

congrats, jilli

1:20 am

yay, jilli!!!

1:21 am

wowee, jil. wtg

1:21 am

I used the list(s) -- not silly at all

1:21 am

mrp stop bashing your phone book on your computer, that might solve the problem...

1:22 am

which list is everyone referring to?

1:22 am

Hi Jilli - half asleep as I am!

1:22 am

Lickety's, TK

1:23 am

hello JC -- I'm half asleep too, for the opposite reason

1:23 am

hey, question - our 18-yr-old son has just the last 2 days been getting raging headaches in the lower back of his head, they come on fast and nearly incapacitate him. Not like him at all. We feared his newly acquired car might be leaking CO, took him into the E-room, they sent off a blood sample to test. Any other ideas?

1:23 am

HAHAHA, yes . . .

1:24 am

I have to post a silly old picture of mine on Yahoo, I see. Janet is about to be proven wrong . . . :P

1:24 am

JC, nice to find shivs

1:24 am

rbud did they do an mri?

1:24 am

hi jc

1:24 am

heck, no, they didn't seem to take it very seriously at all.

1:25 am

stuck on my last five..

1:25 am

TK, the other list is morewords, as we've told you before

1:25 am

yesterday's list is still up on mine. tried f5 and refresh - nothing...

1:25 am

I'd get another opinion - take him to a neurologist

1:26 am

try shuting down and opening again

1:26 am

went to more words will spend time today playing with it

1:27 am

rbud - a guy I work with is recovering form meningitis. He said the headache made him feel nearly paralyzed.

1:27 am

I'm calling our doc in the AM, but he's never been to see this doc yet. Kid's a high stress type, always seemingly mad about something, wondering if that might be part of it.

1:28 am

any e.r. that doesn't take raging headaches that incapacitate an 18 year old out of the blue isn't doing their job. - meningitis is a huge issue, especially with teenagers. And there are probably 100 other serious things that could be wrong

1:29 am

So far the headache goes away after several ibuprofens and about 45 min. quiet time, but he cries and moans - not like him at all. And 4 times just this last 2 days, I agree, needs more attention.

1:29 am

well, it could be a stress headache, but still, I would think they would want to rule out more dangerous things before they just dismiss it.

1:30 am

they gave him oxygen for a while, he felt some better, but as soon as we got home had another.

1:31 am

I thought of meningitis, too, definitely worries me.

1:31 am

suggest er's try to weed out potential drug seekers. make an app't with dr who knows him, even his paed. they'll get tests ordered as needed/ referral.

1:33 am

yes, this hospital has had a problem with assuming everyone who comes in is a drug-seeker, usually unfounded, but they do tend to think it, I believe.

1:34 am

ti 6/18 anyne?

1:34 am

remember, they don't know him. think there's actually laws re: scrips of narcotics in er's. but they should be testing...

1:34 am

Good luck rbud.

1:34 am

well, I'll do what I can in the AM, hope the doc will get us in quickly. thanks, all.

1:35 am

yeah, I wouldn't mess around.

1:35 am

have a great aunt in springfield

1:35 am

which one, ru? one is an old word used to describe red hair, one is a rude word for part of a lady's chest.

1:36 am

park yourself in dr. office don't leave til he sees you

1:36 am

first one RB

1:36 am

oh, we'll get something done if I have to cause a scene!

1:39 am

do you have the ti4/4, ru? add 2 letters: no ifs, **ds, or buts

1:39 am

Sorry, Jilli - are you still here?

1:39 am

not so worried, rbud. they go away with ibupro. so probably not serious. but it does take down swellinmg too, and pressure can cause headaches. but not usually sudden onset. any conks on head lately? allergies?

1:39 am

thanks rbud

1:40 am

new one. for me

1:40 am

Hello, ruru dahhhling . . .

1:41 am

oh, head conks, probably - the kid is a walking accident...skateboards and wipes out, who knows what he's hit?

1:41 am

hiya jc...

1:41 am

need help with teh tr7 too

1:41 am

He's been taking a little red sinus pill every time, too, could be allergies. we just don't know of any yet.

1:42 am

never mind

1:42 am

found it.

1:42 am

weird word, that tr 7.

1:42 am

ask him. contracous concussion will occur opposite side from injury site. hit in forehead = back of head problem

1:43 am

ah, a flower, that sort of explains it.

1:43 am

heading for bed.. drove over 400 miles today

1:43 am

JC -- went to look at email and saw yours among others

1:43 am

will do, Kate. He's asleep now...I think.

1:43 am

nite, ru!

1:44 am

rbud when did headaches start?

1:44 am

thanks RB for the clue

1:44 am

nite ruru

1:44 am

you should check on him and make sure he is okay throughout the night...

1:45 am

read up on concussions .. it isn't good to let them go to sleep afterwrds

1:45 am

OK, Jilli - go look at my Yahoo page now, HAHAHA! ;)

1:45 am

You will have to read what Janet and Laura have posted in the comments' section, to understand why I've posted that old picture and new status message.

1:46 am

started yesterday morning, he was staying the night at a friend's house and drove home very early, headache hit him along the way, he pulled over and got out to lie down (!)

1:46 am

Oh dear, someone has a concussion? No, you mustn't let them go to sleep until you have the all-clear from a doctor to do that! They need to be seen . . .

1:46 am

will do, JC...don't know Janet...

1:46 am

had he been drinking with friend?

1:47 am

please don't alarm mother

1:47 am

Janet is great, Jilli - very nice and a lot of fun, but she isn't online much these days. She joined Babble a while ago, but never gets a chance to do the grids.

1:47 am

don't think so, and hasn't the rest of this weekend, either. mostly happened with some exertion, he says, or once when he was mad and fussing at his GF, they fight and argue all the time.

1:48 am

good luck Rb.. hope he gets better soon. Scary

1:49 am

ty, ru.

1:49 am

could be stress. still have him looked at. 2 headaches you said?

1:50 am

he slept last night on the couch downstairs, I checked him often then. 4 headaches so far just this weekend.

1:51 am

more/less frequent? duration longer/shorter?

1:52 am

does he have temp.?

1:52 am

all about the same. sudden onset, takes pills, lies down, sometimes can't lie down, stands up and rubs the back of his neck, feels nauseous at times. they said no temp, but that was after the ibuprofen, of course.

1:54 am

poor guy, rbud -- sounds miserable

1:54 am

I thought his blood pressure reading seemed a bit high, think it was 147 over 67. Read that they should maybe have taken 3 diff ones, standing, sitting, lying down - they only took one.

1:54 am

good morning JC, did you have a dog called Fanny?

1:54 am

JC -- went to your page -- wow, what a picture! Still didn't find a Janet -- does she have another name?

1:54 am

headache can cause nausea, esp. migraine. no temp. good, ibuprofen wouldn't knock it out if it were menengitis, so you can rest easy there. loss of energy?

1:55 am

not really, seems fine in between.

1:56 am

well, don't want to monopolize the chat, going to bed, will likely have a long day tomorrow. thanks, all, for listening.

1:57 am

Good luck, rbud

1:57 am

147/67 is okay rbud, the er alone will raise it slightly, especially with worried mom at bedside. it is reasonably normal for active lad. bottom number more important, 67 is great

1:58 am

you'll wake him 1-2 times and ask him to count back fro, ten, and spell something(to be extra safe)?

1:58 am

You a doc or something, TK?

1:59 am

try ice on back of neck next time maybe?

2:01 am

no, just lots of medicine in family. seem to pick up a lot i'm NO authority

2:02 am

Sorry Jilli, had problems with this. Janet is 'pfffffffffft' there, on the page.

2:03 am

computer gone nuts good night rbud, don't worry too much. thinking of you

2:03 am

so i don't have to reboot?

2:03 am

oh, ok, JC. Don't think we've been formally introduced.

2:04 am

No, she isn't on much now Jilli - she's too busy!

2:04 am

No, TK -- happens every night at this time -- some sort of adjustment or something

2:04 am

JC, "Mummy" had a question for you a little while ago

2:05 am

Noticed someone's 'mummy' in Somerset asked me a question, so to answer - yes, lost her ten years ago.

2:05 am

okay. kept trying to enter. wouldn't let me . now my proclamation of i9gnorance is there x10 for all to see!! serves me right

2:05 am

Great minds think alike, Jilli - was answering before I saw you had typed that!

2:07 am

Hi, there. Anyone have a clue for the second am5?

2:07 am

TK, it happens to everybody -- now you know

2:07 am

Lovely photo, Jilli - how old was Titan there?

2:10 am

I spent about a half an hour on the last word....

2:11 am

how come the small grids are so hard :/

2:11 am

Male danes should be 30" at the shoulder by 6 months

2:11 am

Now I am going back to bed. TY again for your help, BabbleR. I could not have finished w/o it!

2:11 am

Well, darn it all, this is a very very small grid.

3:05 am

3:06 am

morning red

well, I have 10 words so far, so I think I am doing alright.

3:06 am

yep fine until last 9 for me

3:06 am

but now I am stuck]

Hi all. Well, I wished for a smaller grid because of time. Be careful what you wish for! I think this is probably the smallest I have done.

it up there for the smallest. someone will probably come on and talk about a 5 word grid they did, but...this one is small enough for me.

okok

How are you all? This is a little but well insane

I'm not complaining! Also, I don't know how people have time to do the big grids AND chat.

3:10 am

morning her and sally

Sally I don't I just chat. How you?

3:11 am

I.m down to 6 but it's a struggle now

I'm fine herin. Half way already!!

I have the worst belly ache. Silly McCrap Coffee

lol herin

Not lol at the belly ache, lol at the coffee.

My friend was driving past me and McCrap was the closet drive way

8:02 am

congrats, DR

8:02 am

Hello all....34 words? This is the smallest grid that I have ever seen!

8:03 am

Hi Scrabbs, I believe it is the smallest and tricky too.

8:04 am

congrats to you as well ANnie-

8:04 am

These small ones are always tricky --strange words with strange combos of letters.

8:04 am

Good luck scrabs- i am off to start my day

8:04 am

alarm just went off

8:04 am

Look at all of the vowels!

8:04 am

DR, you are up quite early

8:05 am

yes... hubby could not find his keys

8:05 am

to have finished the grid

8:05 am

he leaves at 5am

8:06 am

Keys and glasses are always being misplaced here

8:06 am

Columns 4 + 5 are grey. Woo!

8:06 am

I think it is standard Annie

8:06 am

WTG, Scrabbs

8:06 am

go scrabs... ok- time to shower before Jacob gets up- *Poof*

8:07 am

Bye DR

8:07 am

bye DR

8:07 am

Annie, our office has a new DS baby--born Saturday evening, surprise diagnosis. I cannot wait to meet her and speak with the parents. They are devastated for now.

8:08 am

Scrabbs, I can imagine the desperation of the parents. I felt the same way but life took a turn and I could not love Bobby more than I do.

8:09 am

I always tell parents: This child will bring more joy to your lives and to your family than you can possibly imagine right now.

8:10 am

Scrabbs, But it is hard to imagine at the beginning. Is this baby their first?

8:11 am

Yes, and we know the parents--father was a medical student in our office.

8:12 am

I wonder why the mother did not have amnio.

8:12 am

I wonder why the sonogram showed no clues

8:13 am

Mom is 27 so amnio would not have been indicated

8:15 am

Sonograms can hint at DS. I didnt know that. Young to have a DS baby but it does happen. I was 32 when I had Bobby and he was not my first. My first baby strangled on the cord and there was a knot in the cord too. I am sure you can imagine how I felt. When I had Elizabeth I was overjoyed beyond belief. I was determined.

8:16 am

the third son of my best German school budy is DS. She had the patience of job with him and he ended up taking a college course even

8:16 am

Guten Morgen, Inge!

8:17 am

((Annie))--perseverance, hope, strength!

8:17 am

Sometimes parents need the patience of Job with children without DS.

8:17 am

this is the most challenging puzzle i've seen so far...ugh

8:18 am

Guten MOrgen, Scrabs and Annie. Tobi just celebrated his 30th birthday. He goes into German schools to teach Englilsh and us schools on Vashon Island to teach German

8:18 am

Yes, parents universally tell me that adolescence with their DS child is far easier than that with their non-DS kids.

8:18 am

Hi BabyZ. These small grids are always tough--weird words and few due to letter placements

8:19 am

so many vowels, which ordinarily we miss!

8:19 am

Good morning, inge.

8:19 am

hi all

8:19 am

hi boobear

8:19 am

Good morning Boobear!

8:20 am

I was reading about the DS baby...its a wonder why things happen, but even with amnio, what difference would that have made really?

8:20 am

in other words, Tobi is bilingual. How many Aericans can claim that?

8:20 am

I agree, BabyZ..other than preparation, however 70% of DS fetuses are aborted. Sad fact.

8:21 am

Baby, I mentioned amnio because some parents would choose to abort or at least be prepared.

8:21 am

Good for Tobi!

8:22 am

Wonderful for Tobi.

8:23 am

of course you are right annie

8:23 am

good morning everyone;)

8:23 am

His mother knew of the DS diagnosis, her sister and mother wanted her to abort, her husband stood by her

8:23 am

good for her inge

8:23 am

Crossy !!!!.

8:24 am

nowadays DS babies have so much more available for healthy growth

8:24 am

Hi Crossy! Billy's seminoma is responding well to chemo! Tumor in abdomen was originally the size of a basketball and is now the size of a grapefruit after just 2 rounds of chemo.

8:24 am

there's a great novel titled "Jewel"

8:24 am

Hi Crossy!

8:25 am

And "Expecting Adam"

8:25 am

Trying to remember the author but brain not quite in gear this morning

8:25 am

yaa for billy! kick that tumor in the ass!!:)

8:26 am

His white blood cell counts have plummeted but overall he is doing well and has just 2 more rounds of chemo to go

8:27 am

Expecting adam is by Martha beck

8:27 am

yes white cell count goes to hell,i had to take shots and wear a mask for many weeks

8:27 am

Hi mklein. Yes, I have it.

8:28 am

shots are very expensive:( 200 dollars per in my case;(

8:28 am

It was recommended to me by a mother who was expecting Ben.

8:28 am

Yep, crossy, but needed to boost WBC

8:29 am

Anyone want a clue before I start my day?

8:29 am

ae5 clue?

8:29 am

Jewel is about the days when so little was known and DS babies were not expected to live beyond a few months

8:29 am

ae5----ae + FBI etc

8:29 am

I guess moxie is correct and moxy is not

8:30 am

TY, Annie!

8:30 am

i was to shoot this puzzle!

8:30 am

lol scrabbs i tried that also

8:31 am

mi + 3 vowels for cat talk

8:31 am

I opened the list with 16 to go--I need to finish this morning as I work 1-7:30 and must get other things done this morning

8:31 am

TY, Annie!

8:32 am

8:32 am

Grr, I have tried, it seems, every combo for ci4/5. Help please?

8:33 am

NM, Silly Scrabbler!

8:33 am

bye bye in Italian

8:33 am

Yes, Annie, I decided to try all vowels.

8:33 am

hi and thanks, annie!

8:33 am

good morning babble friends! 34 words! wow.....smallest one for me yet, I think

8:33 am

Hi Une!

8:34 am

i didn't realize foreign words work

8:34 am

Hi Une & Trif!

8:34 am

Hi Trif

8:34 am

smallest one EVER, trif! :-)

8:34 am

sometimes they do and sometimes not, baby

8:34 am

hey, scrabs!

8:34 am

Baby, If you think of a word, try it, you never know with Enable

8:34 am

gotcha

8:35 am

une, what does your icon signify? I like the graphic....

8:35 am

question, scrabs . . . I have 2 bunnies in my front yard every nite lately when I take my dogs out to pee around 10:00 or 11:00 -- are bunnies partial to late-nite snacks?

8:35 am

it's my initials, trif :-)

8:35 am

oh, nice job!

8:35 am

I know they live in the brush at the back of my yard

8:36 am

Bunnies are, I forget the word, but they feed at dawn and dusk, when safest from predators.

8:36 am

i stole it via Googling, trif! LOL

8:36 am

i used to see bunnies at dusk but this year it's in the middle of the nite -- odd, eh?

8:37 am

Mama rabbits breastfeed their kits at those times too and otherwise stay away from the nest so as to not clue predators.

8:37 am

perhaps you also have a coyote nearby, une, and the bunnies are adapting

8:37 am

OK. I got 9 and I'm done

8:38 am

Hi HH. Don't give up. With the list you will find some normal words.

8:38 am

make that 10 :)

8:38 am

8:38 am

I need 5 words and they are 3 6's and 2 7's

8:38 am

8:45 am

8:49 am

8:49 am

8:49 am

hi scrabbler

8:50 am

yes, scrabbs

8:50 am

the first ti 6 is a painter

8:50 am

proper name

8:50 am

Ooh, I found one, Annie--in my yard everyday!

8:51 am

bbl...breakfast is ready

8:51 am

Oooh, I don't know painters much at all

8:51 am

scrabbs, It is also a color (red)

8:52 am

*thinking about red*

8:53 am

Those ti6's must both start with the breast word...

8:53 am

the second ti 6/18 is a singular mammary

8:54 am

now how could I have missed that...

8:54 am

3 left

8:54 am

Mind is a blank, Annie

8:54 am

HH and you wanted to quit...silly you, you are almost done

8:54 am

scrabbs, ti 6---bird + neckwear

8:55 am

bbl to wrap up

8:55 am

Aha! Silly me! OK, I need the first ti6--the painter

8:56 am

8:57 am

*pulling out dictionary*

8:57 am

Scrabbs, ti6-----bird + Maid Mar***

8:57 am

good one, annie! well done!

8:59 am

I hope I did not insult Harry Hood by saying "silly you" to him. I was teasing him because he wanted to give up earlier and now only needed 3 to finish.

8:59 am

TY, Annie!

8:59 am

and then he left.

9:00 am

Uno for me

9:00 am

youre welcome, scrabbs

9:01 am

9:10 am

Hi Trif!

9:11 am

good morning car. how's you?

9:12 am

Trying to get to the fair. Dylan is crying. Mom is late. No one is ready but me.

9:12 am

excellent! I am a non-bouncy tigger today.

9:12 am

I think I am all in already and it's only 10.

9:13 am

turns out R had a big ol party by the pool last night -- most of the brits, LINDA, etc. ....I suppose I am supposed to be all who cares, but I am actually feeling pretty betrayed.

9:14 am

LINDA?!?!?!?!

9:14 am

indeed.

9:15 am

WTF???? Was she in spy mode?

9:15 am

nope. more in "i can't stand up to my boyfriend" mode

9:16 am

Wonderful. Not suprised about the others though.

9:18 am

clue for ti 7

9:19 am

Sorry to interrupt - Trif, I sent you an e-mail the other day, it may well have ended up in your junk mail. Just wanted to let you know that it's there.

9:20 am

Boo ... its little gray birds...tufted ti*****

9:22 am

Feast or famine ..

9:22 am

does anyone have a clue for the second am5/14? I can't for the life of me get it.

9:23 am

Ken, change the final vowel for another.

9:24 am

Clue for the middle column single A please?

9:24 am

Thanks Haz - fireworks!

9:24 am

Lookit the cute little tiny grid! I have two freres with me to help out, I bet we can do it.

9:24 am

You're welcome - congratulations!

9:24 am

Congrats Ken!

9:25 am

Thanks!

9:25 am

Duh! Just saw the word! NM!

9:25 am

It's an4/4 - the volcano backwards

9:26 am

Hello Uni - you can do it - those boys will make all the difference.

9:26 am

fireworks

9:26 am

Oh! I realized I forgot to e-mail you to thank you for my card - we spent a good bit of time clicking those chickens.

9:26 am

Congratulations Boo.

9:26 am

Congratulations Boobear

9:27 am

You're welcome! Did you get up to a respectable speed by the end?

9:27 am

Have a good day all

9:27 am

Bye Boo.

9:27 am

We were clicking like mad. Although my guesses of which ones would light up were not always the most accurate.

9:28 am

I know! I tried it out myself and wasn't great at it but I thought it was fun.

9:28 am

Maybe this wee baby grid is not as easy as anticipated...like the chicken clicking.

9:28 am

Did you do anything special for your birthday? Other than spending time with the brothers of splendour?

9:29 am

Not really. There was food and cake and family and a small pinata which exploded nicely. a good time!

9:30 am

What else could anybody want?

9:30 am

A miiiiiiiiiiiiillion dollars.

9:30 am

But think of the begging letters, Uni.

9:31 am

And the decisions on how you would spend it. Life's more simple with an exploding pinata.

9:31 am

I suppose it is true.

9:32 am

And there is candy with a pinata. Always a bonus.

9:32 am

It's the best bit.

9:33 am

We've commandeered the chat, it seems. Such a quiet day.

9:34 am

We don't really have pinatas over here - we kind of stuck with Christmas crackers and haven't moved on in the possibilities afforded by small explosions.

9:35 am

Small grids always make for stop/start chat logs.

9:39 am

Christmas crackers are very enjoyable. I got waylaid by phone calls...

9:39 am

And now we are off to our grampies for a day with he and our aunt. Be well!

9:40 am

Have a good day, Uni!

9:42 am

*Pops back up to object to not having a book on your profile list...what a laugh!*

9:43 am

It's an ongoing project - feel free to suggest one for yourself. Something to acknowledge the brothers of splendour?

9:58 am

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the woman who washes her windows can expect to see the rain tipping down ten minutes later. ci4/5!

10:01 am

Good morning one and all. LOL. 34. And every vowel represented numerous times!

10:10 am

hello

10:15 am

is the ae a common word?

10:15 am

Geesh. Fireworks already. Blink and you'll miss this grid.

10:15 am

The ae5 is fairly common, harpjane.

10:16 am

ok thanks

10:16 am

sounds like th tree harp

10:16 am

got it

10:17 am

I'm outta here. Hope tomorrow's grid is a bit more challenging.

10:18 am

hope judi gets a 400 grid...

10:20 am

These short ones boost up one's overall score!

10:20 am

assuming one finishes

10:21 am

lol

10:30 am

hello

10:31 am

hello, phaeton

10:32 am

10:33 am

Doing okay, phaeton ... Hope the world is well with you.

10:34 am

11:35 am

no of course not

11:36 am

i have had a good day today - work picked up again and its only 3 more days in work this week and then i am off to the mil for the bank holiday weekend

11:37 am

mother in law

11:38 am

ah of course -- will that be nice?

11:39 am

yeah i really love her - we have no issues unlike the other way round where my mum is accused of being the next best thing to satan that you can get

11:40 am

and i must admit there are times when i agree with him

11:40 am

wow bummer for spouse to have a bad relation with your mom but good that you have a good one with his

11:40 am

merly ae5 ae plus US secret service

11:41 am

I get along pretty well with my MIL too

11:41 am

ty Kazz

11:41 am

ty Kazz I am now at 15 but must get ready for docs appt bbl

11:41 am

but since my husband is long dead I don't have to worry about the flip

11:41 am

bye Mary

11:42 am

well my mum is very hard work even for us that are family - she has a habit of being rude about people under her breath but almost to their faces and it didnt go down too well with hub

11:42 am

bye mary

11:42 am

I can understand hub's attitude then

11:43 am

I was hoping for moxy :-(

11:43 am

also i think she is beginning to go senile - my son lives with her and worries about stuff like leaving the gas on and leaving dinner in the oven for far too long

11:44 am

must go and sort out dinner - good luck all be back tomorrow

11:44 am

oo that can be terrible. My MIL has terrible short term memory

11:44 am

bye kazz nice chatting

11:47 am

moxie

11:47 am

yes I know since the spellcheck corrected me

11:48 am

I never said I could spell

11:48 am

I tried it too ..

11:48 am

in fact when we were predicting our futures in elementary school I predicted I would have a job with a secretary who could correct my spelling

11:49 am

lol glad I wasn't alone on that then

11:50 am

1/2 way! I think I will probably finish this grid

11:51 am

This is indeed the smallest grid ever. The previous one was 35 words on a December 28, year unknown

11:51 am

I wondered inge

11:51 am

certainly been at extremes recently

11:51 am

In school my handwriting was so bad, my teacher said I should become a doctor

11:51 am

lol torg

11:52 am

inge, I think we had one of 31 words about 3 years ago.

11:52 am

I've been known to be wrong, of course :)

11:52 am

hi ch1212

11:53 am

hi jmc. I think lickety has interesting stats on his site, like smallest, largest, etc. Will take a look later.

11:53 am

lickety has the 35 word grid listed as the smallest for last 1222 grids

11:54 am

Ah, I stand corrected :) Unless that 31 grid was earlier than that.

11:54 am

3 and 1/2 years

11:55 am

so maybe it was 3 3/4 years ago :-)

11:55 am

good morning, can anyone tell me how many words there are today. thanks

11:55 am

34

11:55 am

I haven't even made a one year anniversary yet

11:55 am

34 donnie

11:57 am

thank you ch1212 and jmcnrick i only have 8 now i'll work on it some more.

11:57 am

My addiction went something like this: initial 'high' for about 1 1/2 years, then super burst of energy to make it to #3 in rankings, then realization I wasn't enjoying it anymore, so I stopped worrying about rankings --- then great enjoyment and the ability to NOT even finish some days!!! :)

11:58 am

I guess I went through the process a bit faster then lol

11:59 am

I immediately realized I would never make it to number 10 even so decided to finish when I have time, make friends and chat, and learn new words

11:59 am

and try not to be too annoying ;-)

12:01 pm

jmc, just read your bio --- good work you are doing! I once worked for Commonway Institute on a community building project; boss is peace negotiator in Sri Lanka, and speaker at Int'l Peace Conference. He was a lawyer too before starting Commonway.

12:02 pm

very cool ch1212 -- I am technically on sabbatical for my 10 year anniversary

12:03 pm

I call my org the conservative peace org -- stopping war one soldier at a time

12:03 pm

Congratulations! It's important to have 'down time' every ten years or so :)

12:03 pm

I checked lickety's records for the shortest grid

12:03 pm

I am not good at down time

12:04 pm

i've seen a 29

12:04 pm

I could use some help with the first three am words - maybe just one to get me going

12:04 pm

Is it today's?

12:05 pm

I have a + rodents...

12:05 pm

it must have been more than 3 1/2 years ago then kje

12:05 pm

I tried that without the e! ty ch1212

12:06 pm

now i have all three am4 words too

12:08 pm

kazz said she remembered a 29 grid too

12:09 pm

that 29 was in the past year or so

12:09 pm

Presumably Lickety's stats don't include the days he didn't post.

12:10 pm

glad kazz remembered it too - was wondering if I had dreamed it!

12:10 pm

or maybe lickety hasn't updated the stats

12:10 pm

(Hello, all. Only on for 5 minutes while I wait to head out the door.)

12:10 pm

best stats are probably montreal's

12:10 pm

hi vic!

12:11 pm

who, btw, i have not seen in eons... anyone heard from him?

12:11 pm

vic - you can get to 10 left in 5 minutes... ready... go!

12:11 pm

from lickety?

12:11 pm

yeah half way!!!

12:12 pm

wtd katie

12:12 pm

Lol, kje, I was on for about 15 minutes earlier and had only 4 left. Now I just have 1 to go.

12:12 pm

Go, Katie, go!

12:12 pm

go vic go

12:12 pm

go vi!

12:12 pm

er wtg katie

12:13 pm

Except now I have to braid my daughter's hair, so I guess I won't get that last one just yet...

12:13 pm

actually now you mention it I haven't seen him for ages either

12:13 pm

I only see him when he drops in to say the list is up

12:15 pm

oh I was talking about montreal

12:15 pm

Can anyone clue the am 5 that doesn't concern rodents?

12:15 pm

change the last vowell

12:16 pm

Singer Don AM***

12:16 pm

name of an italian place near me - am5's

12:16 pm

Thanks! So obvious when kindly pointed out. ;)

12:16 pm

oo I probably got it wrong katie I dare say --- don't know montreal

12:17 pm

me either katie.... hopefully he is doing OK

12:18 pm

maybe he has got work which means he can't come on at his usual time

12:18 pm

I sometimes wonder with all these older players we have... if something happened, they would just disappear and we would never know - kinda a weird feeling in cyberland

12:18 pm

OK, will have to come back later to finish - happy speed babbling folks - bbl

12:18 pm

that is a sad thought kje

12:19 pm

bye kje

12:19 pm

I agree, kje. Maybe we should agree to let someone close to us know to post something in the event of our demise. Like adding a notification to our address book.

12:19 pm

you could skim through the archives a few days to see

12:19 pm

that is a good idea ch1212

12:20 pm

LOL ch1212 - in our wills - "in the unlikely event I come to an untimely end, please post a notification at www.playbabble.com"

12:21 pm

lol

12:21 pm

does the ot 6 build off the ot 4?

12:21 pm

Uh, I'm still here (just in case somebody was wondering*

12:22 pm

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

the slang for breast shows up in 6 words today. Just an observation.

12:26 pm

more power to you ciocia I am not that good

12:27 pm

it would have to ch1212! lol

12:27 pm

well that means that five of my missing words have it! LOL

12:27 pm

Judy, love your profile pic! :)

12:27 pm

otherwise most of the words would be all vowels!

12:27 pm

12:28 pm

good afternoon all!

12:28 pm

1:17 pm

1:18 pm

1:18 pm

1:26 pm

cima

1:26 pm

oops! sorry!

1:30 pm

If you are curious, Nef, go here: http://www.playbabble.com/445 Note the date, and click on: "View Word List". Scroll to the bottom of the list for totals.

1:32 pm

Thanks, BR. I will do that when I find my last M word. (Grrrr! It's about list time now!)

1:33 pm

WOW! I lied! I'm going to look now. (I'd C&P'd and tried not to look. Didn't work

1:38 pm

that's pretty cool, BR. Thanks. I was enjoying reading the old names.... :-)

1:38 pm

yeah, one called the grid "evil"

hiya, and this is the teeniest grid ever, AFAIK 8-(

1:39 pm

the more things change, the more they remain the same.

1:40 pm

very true, BR. Gwen, BR just posted about a smaller grid back in 2004

1:40 pm

I could have sworn there was once a grid with 17 words...??? No?

14 out of 25 boxes already finished LOL

1:40 pm

This *is * a teeny one. I told myself I was going to do it without a list. Down to two...a t and an m.

17, OY!!

Fireworks! First time I've finished in under an hour too. :D!

woot, finished 5 more boxes

1:42 pm

Now it's one...

OK...fireworks with no list!! (But I had to cheat and go to A to Z for my last m--and it's one I always miss.

1:43 pm

congrats, jan

1:43 pm

this grid has fewer points than the one in 2004

13 to go here . . .

. . . and completely stuck

1:49 pm

Forgive me if this was in the chat earlier, but how did you know there had been one this size back in 2004?

1:50 pm

Broll told me.

1:51 pm

"s funny, because I have been playing since 2004 and thought for sure that this one was by far the shortest ever.

some of us keep notes on the game. i myself keep notes on strange words i don't know, like donga and rontgen

1:52 pm

I love some of the weird ones that crop up, too. I couldn't belieave that in this vowel fest, no babblets like toea and naoi. Though the volcano showed up...

not to mention a cat sound as spelled by a vowel-nut

1:54 pm

The first grid in the archives is dated September 30, 2003.There were 125 words and 1670 points. Seven tackled the grid, including Dr_God. No one finished. DJCoolio had 717 points.

1:55 pm

Anybody tried this grid in Hawaiian??

1:56 pm

Not I

holy cows i found a compond word

lol jan

UNO

2:02 pm

okay 4 A's left. I can't imagine doing this grid in any other language; but if there was one, Hawaiian might do!

2:02 pm

GO, GO Gwen!

hey hey hey, my screen exploding!

2:03 pm

Hey there, everyone. I'm down to the to6-21....and can't find it. Help please. Thanks

2:03 pm

YAY, GWEN! WTG!!!! :-D

2:04 pm

ga, it's a bird

to6, boy's name plus ladies anatomical extrudence

2:04 pm

Congrats, Gwen.

2:04 pm

male turkey: to* + mammillary

2:04 pm

congrats, gwen

i know lots of archaic words but bird names, not so much 8-)

2:05 pm

Gwen, you haven't been reading all those new wonder drug vitamin ads I bet! :-)

2:05 pm

some have told me male turkey is redundant

are these people who live on a farm? lol

2:06 pm

Thanks, Nef, BabbleRabble and Gwen. I will see y'all tonight. Good luck.

2:06 pm

or people talking about men? ;-)

male turkey is not redundant: turkey does not mean male only

2:07 pm

congrats, gapeach .. be well

chicken isn't male either ;)

however, male tom or male rooster would be redundant

and as for cows, how often do you hear a city person refer to a cow as a he? OY

2:08 pm

" ... it goes without saying a male is a turkey ... "

2:08 pm

Fireworks for me! Woot!

2:08 pm

congrats, Nef

2:08 pm

Male rooster perhaps, but cock is never redundant. ;) *Slaps self!* :P

wtg nef !!! ~~~ !!!

2:09 pm

Not in your case J.C.

well, i'd love to chat, but hi ho hi ho it's back to work i go

2:11 pm

be well, Gwen

2:11 pm

thank you. Now I wonder what I'll do in between other things today?

2:12 pm

bye, Gwen

2:13 pm

Atually that's incorrect, Gwen - the bird is a chicken. If it's female, it's a hen, if it's male, it's a cock or rooster. I have chickens . . .

2:14 pm

Pretty sure BR was talking about human males ..

2:18 pm

Well, off to do the laundry like I told DH I would. Gotta keep those promises I make! ;-) Have a great day!

2:19 pm

can someone tell me what the 7s start with?

2:19 pm

No, torgone - this was about chickens, something Gwen said, about the term 'chicken' being for females.

2:19 pm

Erm, hello Nef?

2:19 pm

And bye, I suppose . . . ;)

2:20 pm

7:33 pm

I'm not good -- morewords is!

7:33 pm

i did check out Titan. he's lovely

7:34 pm

how old is titan in that picture, jilli

7:34 pm

He was a fun dog -- great sense of humour -- not the best in conformation -- he was about 5 months in that picture

7:35 pm

i thought he looked "little" lol

7:36 pm

he was very sound, lovely colour, but not a very typey head for a male Dane.

7:36 pm

ahh i see that on closer inspection. but he obviously made up for it in personality.

7:37 pm

well, must start supper -- brb while it heats (frozen cabbage rolls)

7:37 pm

He got his Canadian Championship and CD -- made everyone laugh at his antics in earning the latter.

7:39 pm

you're raising danes sure explains why you are so patient with people. They are lovely animals, but way too big for me.

7:49 pm

Well, back but only have 5 minutes so changing icon now

8:48 pm

and his grandfather well

8:48 pm

oops, no. brb.

8:48 pm

Hagen Daz was a beautiful dog and lived a fairly long life

8:49 pm

Karen's Justmoor.. was a great dog. super handsome too

8:49 pm

looks like a nice breeding.. be sure to do ultra sounds on your dog as he gets older

8:50 pm

I would recommend once a year when he is past 7

8:51 pm

the breeder asked if we'd be interested in showing him, getting his champion .. but no, we wanted a companion animal and signed a no-breed agreement

8:51 pm

he is neutered?

8:51 pm

he'll be three this november, but i'll mention it to my vet next time we're there for a check up

8:51 pm

yes

8:52 pm

you can't show him anyways then

8:52 pm

he is really nice looking

8:52 pm

we waited until he was a year old before we had him neutered ... oh, she asked before he was neutered

8:52 pm

thanks, he's a doll. first dog i've ever owned since puppyhood, all my others are rescues

8:53 pm

There has been some cancer in the tangleloft with certain combinations in breeding..I would definitely stay up on that.. it should set you back about $200 or so once a year.

8:54 pm

I have to check if Odds on Pebwin is Expo or not.. If he is out of Expo you are in good shape

8:55 pm

you can probably tear through those pedigrees like lightning, while i plod through them like a grocery list

8:56 pm

Expo was a very great .. .very great dog

8:56 pm

love him up and enjoy him.. he sure is cute

8:58 pm

9:23 pm

just distracted, TK. trying to find store hours so i can get a new watch battery on my break tomorrow.

9:24 pm

so, 2 1/2 hours to go....must get cabana boy to whip up some frosty tipples while we waqit

9:25 pm

if Tom don't get home soon, i may just go to dinner w/out him tomorrow

9:25 pm

whipping up a cabana boy sounds like fun too

9:25 pm

interstitial chores...gotta love 'em. why can't a break be a break?

9:25 pm

ooooh dawg, you are BAD

9:25 pm

well, it would be, but neither of my watches want to run! drat!

9:26 pm

where's Tom, DC?

9:26 pm

i think still at his parents, who took him to round 1 of dentist today. he's getting his mouth fixed up due to the pending heart surgery.

9:27 pm

you don't mean that, do you dc? awfully lonely...bite your nose to spite your face?

9:27 pm

well, he doesn't yet know that i want to go tomorrow

9:27 pm

eeewww, poor Tom, teeth and heart surgery to go thru. argh

9:28 pm

if his teeth are hurting you may have to choose something that is soft for him to consume.

9:28 pm

having been going through a good amt of tooth surgery of late, eh. the heart stuff is scarier. but he had a full colonic resection, so he's old hat at invasive torso stuff

9:29 pm

back. 4 to go.

9:29 pm

any surgery is scary.

9:29 pm

hi, feather, love the green

9:29 pm

hi TO

9:29 pm

gonna just beg for the last ones. gotta go to bed! to6?

9:30 pm

ty seain

9:30 pm

that reminds me i need to go read the green brief for today

9:30 pm

feather, to* cat and a bird that's like a boobie, but not

9:30 pm

male cat + female body part

9:31 pm

lol, funny word, thanks

9:31 pm

ot6 please?

9:31 pm

ear ache, TO

9:31 pm

to6 is the same as the ti7, brit term

9:31 pm

ty, dawg

9:32 pm

i always fail to recall that word

9:32 pm

don't have the ti7 yet

9:32 pm

what are they doing to Tom's heart dc?

9:32 pm

septal myectomy

9:32 pm

boob + rodents

9:32 pm

removing 3.5 cm from the septal side of the heart

9:32 pm

suppose it could be worse

9:33 pm

yes it could, but it's still majorly invasive :)

9:33 pm

could be transplant

9:33 pm

if this fails, that's next for him

9:33 pm

don't think I'd like sore mouth and sore chest at same time.

9:33 pm

oh crap, i KNOW that bird!

9:34 pm

we get them a lot, they're so cute

9:34 pm

hope not. they've come so far, but the anti-rejection drugs for life...and all that time healing...

9:34 pm

the heart stuff is a month away, and teeth will be done in the next 2 weeks i think

9:35 pm

he's immune suppressed already, so rejection not very likely

9:35 pm

poor sod. is there any part of him not full of scars?

9:35 pm

it appears to be a fairly common surgery, from what i just read.

9:35 pm

it is, dawg, and he chose Cleveland Clinic cause they do hundreds of that procedure annually

9:35 pm

oh boy. didn't mean to open can of worms dc

9:36 pm

not sure of the ear ache one still. searching.

9:36 pm

:) and yes, there are, kate

9:36 pm

like dc said, still major. and any time you go under's a risk even for minor procedures.

9:36 pm
