Hi OSGMA

hope all is well

12:34 am

In case anyone is wondering how ch 6 could be allowed, it's (1) an old Scottish unit of liquid measure equivalent to about a quart. (2) a container holding this amount.

whoo hoo mpd

1:08 am

hi all

1:08 am

hi jmc

1:09 am

YAY mpd!!!

1:09 am

does anyone have a clue for the bi8?

1:10 am

oh gosh and I thought a toea was a bug!

1:10 am

lve and learn, jmc :)

1:10 am

sorry flosey i just walked in the door

1:11 am

tks anyway jmc

1:11 am

I'm pretty much stuck with 45 left :(

1:12 am

got to last 9 and had to list - tough today

1:13 am

learned 3 new words

1:13 am

bi 8 is something intel makes

1:13 am

it sounds like a cross between a belch and an insult

1:14 am

the clue i just gave was for the bi 7

1:15 am

my comment was for the bi 8

1:15 am

(one of the 3 I'd never heard of)

1:15 am

good one grem

1:15 am

I'm afraid I'm still in the dark

1:15 am

working on it grem

1:16 am

bi4 + sc**** is an alcoholic drink

1:16 am

the online dictionary defines it as a variant of that bi4, oddly enough

1:17 am

tytyty grem, odd one

1:17 am

the word, that is

1:18 am

the pa8 looks very similar to that

1:18 am

brain not working here

1:18 am

pa8 means "a Scot word for porridge"

1:18 am

I can't think of an sc**** alcoholic drink

1:19 am

so just go for something that sounds vaguely the same

1:19 am

jilli: also hopsc****

1:19 am

(a children's game)

1:19 am

not whiskey but sc****

1:20 am

oh, stupid me -- ty grem!

1:20 am

but i haven't found the bi4

1:20 am

bi4 sounds like what you might say when it's really cold

1:20 am

and thanks grem, for the pa8

1:21 am

phantom carnotite (I think it was a word in the first puzzle I played here)

1:21 am

ty grem

1:21 am

got that bi8 -- thanks, grem

1:21 am

and the pa8 is almost the same, and it sounds sort of like porridge

1:22 am

oky i think i must crash

1:22 am

good night all

1:23 am

no def for the bi8 here, but google says "noun. onrush or driving force; impetus; a vibrant whirring sound."

1:23 am

night jmc

1:24 am

ah, got the pa8 too -- more thanks to grem

1:25 am

yeah, where I looked it up it said it was an intransitive verb meaning "to make or move with a [br4]"

1:25 am

Oops, bi4

1:26 am

the two 8s were new - the other new one was ap7

1:27 am

no def here for pa8 either, but google agrees with grem

1:27 am

need that ap7 too

1:28 am

ap7 = a plant that reproduces by ap***xis (ap*** = same first 5 letters)

1:29 am

a + (many **ems rhyme) + (swing and a **ss!) + Hollywood a**or

1:29 am

ty grem

1:30 am

doesn't look much like a real word, does it?

1:30 am

great clue, grem -- thanks!

1:31 am

no, doesn't

1:31 am

I wonder what kind of reproduction that is,,,

1:31 am

never heard of it

1:32 am

[Ap******] is an asexual type of reproduction in which the plant embryos grow from egg cells without being fertilized by pollen—the male part of the plant.

1:32 am

I think there are lots of never-heard-of-it words here

1:32 am

Scientists use it to clone some plants, apparently.

1:33 am

And make new genetic hybrids.

1:33 am

ty grem, I'll sleep peacefully knowing that ;)

1:35 am

carotine is "not found in the dcitionary"

1:35 am

or even in the dictionary

1:38 am

yeah, I was confident I had my first 8 when I tried it

1:38 am

It does have "carotene" though

1:39 am

ah, I guess carotene is the correct speling

1:41 am

I do see a lot of web results for "carotine" though

1:41 am

I think it is just a common misspelling.

1:45 am

probably

1:55 am

it is the ca7, tho

1:55 am

any clues for ca7/32 copa

1:55 am

sorry -- tired

1:55 am

morning

2:32 am

g'morning Katie

2:33 am

hi katie

2:33 am

hi Ruby how is your girl's limp today

2:34 am

worse. her head practically hitsa the ground with each step.. She is eating normally, wagging her tail and isn't crying, and I massaged her foot, ankle, leg, elbow, shoulder etc without her limping, so tomorrow we go to the vet. It is very upsettin

2:35 am

without her flinching* And of course DH is being nasty

2:35 am

oh hold on in there, hopefully the vet can sort her out on Monday

2:35 am

it is making me sick!

2:36 am

normally, the vet would make a house call, but I think she needs an x-ray

2:37 am

fingers crossed for her

2:37 am

thank you

2:38 am

I can't imagine what it could be. Wouldn't she cry if it was arthritis?

2:38 am

how old is she ruby?

2:38 am

i'm not sure ruby

2:39 am

not quite 7 1/2

2:40 am

unfortunately, these chows are very fragile! and we've had very bad luck with them, hence my worry

2:40 am

poor thing, hope the vet can help her

2:40 am

and she's my favorite of the 5 we've had over the years

2:42 am

i'm off to start packing, see you later x

Hi, just logged onto to chat to say good luck with vet, ruby. Have visitors so having a quick secret babble before they surface :-) and will have to shoot off soon.

2:42 am

bye katie

2:42 am

hi sally and thank you.

2:42 am

our visitors start next weekend, but I will do plenty of "slipping off"

2:43 am

down to 1 word, and can't get it, ne5, any clues please?

Could she have stone in her foot, or injury in some way?

2:43 am

I checked all her parts as deeply as I could with my fingers and she never gflinched or pulled away

flosey, don't know if it's only one, but there is a favourite babblet: ne plus not bottom

2:44 am

she's so valiant, but she wouldn't go for her usual walk this AM

2:44 am

tytyty Sally, that's it for fireworks

2:44 am

congrats flosey

2:44 am

now I can sleep peacefully

2:44 am

now I had better go and deal with DH! and get dressed

<beam>

2:45 am

hopefully I'll have fresh eyes when I come back

2:45 am

positive thoughts for kitty, ruby

2:45 am

ty floseym sweet dreams

2:46 am

ty and goodnight all

3:17 am

how many words are there today please??

3:18 am

113

3:18 am

Can anyone clue the bi7 please

3:19 am

chemical potatoe crisp??

bi plus vowel plus what Uk eats with fish!

3:20 am

Thanks ursh what a wonderful discription, thanks Sally that was a super clue xx

3:21 am

(( description)) even spelling gone to pot

Having to use lickety cos not much time, and I have to say of the words I have eventually monkeyed I have never ever heard of in my life (not that one)

3:24 am

I am finding that more the case each day, either these words are being made up or my vocabulary is as good as I thought it was lol

3:25 am

great clue, sally, never would have gotten it

3:25 am

I just pulled up the tallest dandelion I've ever seen, close to two feet!

3:25 am

The bi8 is case and point if that isn't a made up word I don't know what is lol

No, I couldn't find a definition for that one either

3:26 am

that's funny, I got a bi7, can't imagine the 8!

And the last ca 6/24 is the silliest word I ever heard of!

3:27 am

Haven't got that one yet

3:27 am

hint for it?

3:27 am

or either 8?

the ca 6/24: start with a three-letter vehicle, then three letters which mean not bottom. Then look up the definition!!

can't even begin to clue the bi 8, except that it's bi plus double consonant, which should get you started.

3:29 am

bi4/6 + when you get an **** you scratch it, just change the first vowel

3:29 am

that is ridiculous, but ty anyway, sally

did yoiu get the ca 6 ruby?

3:30 am

yup, both of them. One should be capitalized !! and the other is just plain silly

3:30 am

shd I make husband apologize, or just let it go?

3:31 am

he does this every Sunday

3:32 am

he gets nasty about really minor stuff

3:32 am

Going to watch the Marathon see you all later

3:32 am

it's horrible because we're both upset about the dog and I really don't need additional tension!

3:33 am

sally, you're the expert at calm.....

ruby, just one suggestion then I must go (hear stirring noises from upstairs!). Can you just say to him, look, either we live here together and try to get along and be civilised to each other, or do you want to go our separate ways? I know from what you've said before you can't do that, but the choice might actually focus him and see what his actions do to you. Just a thought, and said in a nice reasonable way, not an accusing way :-) I know it's difficult ...

3:35 am

thank you sally, you are very wise. I'll try it

3:36 am

morning all - both the 8s are silly words today

then tell me why I can't have "titch"!

3:37 am

clues for them? I can't get either. what about mirch?

3:37 am

mitch

3:37 am

or potch

have to go.

3:38 am

((sally)) and thanks for listening!

3:38 am

enjoy your company

3:39 am

the pa one is the name for a young salmon plus what you scratch and the bi is very similar letters but change the last i for the next vowel

3:40 am

and you know those words how? lol

3:40 am

but thank you, kaz

3:40 am

cheated - used the a2z

3:41 am

hahah

3:41 am

only way with weird words

3:42 am

Morning all......are we all well and happy this morning???

3:43 am

morning flask - very well for a change - did another lang walk yesterday and dont ache at all

3:43 am

thats fab, Kazzer!

3:45 am

we walked 9.5 miles yesterday - lovely walk in the countryside from Chard to Axminster

3:47 am

what a lovely long walk

3:47 am

if I walk a mile, I'm knocked flat afterwards. You must be a lot younger

3:47 am

reached half

3:49 am

clue for ap7 please?

3:51 am

I'm 52. We have deicded to get fit again this year - the walk yesterday had a few hills in it but not many - the longest walk was 16.5 miles but all on the flat - along the Taunton to Bridgwater canal

3:52 am

a plus three letters for a little dog or an Aussie term of abuse for English people, last three letters are a mix up of a nervous twitch.

3:52 am

I havent got that one yet - ap7

3:52 am

Morning Haz!

3:52 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:53 am

thanx for that, got it!

3:53 am

Well done!

3:54 am

thats a healthy walk Kazzer!

3:55 am

Haz, I beg to differ, I always regard that term as one of affection (for english people)

3:55 am

I'll be back later to finish wrestling with thins...

3:56 am

This, not thins. No thins in our house.

3:56 am

Bye!

3:56 am

bye

3:59 am

bye Haz!

thnx vm

4:14 am

yw

4:15 am

I am from Perth too Ani , wasn't it a lovely day today

4:18 am

Very nice sandy - son took us for a drive in his old car (classic) and then prawns on the barbie at he and his sisters house. Very relaxed family day.

4:18 am

fireworks

4:19 am

I went to a horse show and it was lovely sitting on the grass watching the horses

4:19 am

We watched some anzac things in the morning of course - always think of my dear dad today

4:19 am

I love these warm days and cold nights - but I love strorms too - How did you fare in the 'Great Storm"

4:20 am

Hello everyone

4:20 am

My husband's grandfather was in that war and we have all his medals

4:20 am

hi lynxx

4:20 am

eww who is this Buswell, think you should lose him Sandy & Anike

4:21 am

My daughters car was trashed - needs a new roof and bonnet. We need our family room ceiling painted etc - had a flood there.

4:21 am

Troy Buswell is a fool to himself - intelligent man who never grew up

4:22 am

I don't like any of the politicians we have around at the moment

4:23 am

Not an inspiring bunch really, are they sandy?

4:23 am

We have a house in Nedlands - broken windows, leak in roof and the girls that rent it all had their cars dented

4:23 am

Indeed they are not Ani, especially 'Mr Sheen'

4:23 am

were you both covered by insurance for everything?

4:24 am

My son works in Nedlands at a car dealership - every car, new and used, was damaged. Son was fortunately on his way home early so his precious car survived.

4:24 am

We are covered for damage to the house- yes! Only one of the three girls was covered for her car - I feel so sorry for them

4:25 am

Insurance covers all our problems

4:26 am

I sometimes wish we could go back to some of the old ones

4:26 am

I had just put the horses in the stable when the hail started here, so I felt happy for them - We sat and watched the storm for ages out here at the 'farm' it was fantastic to see the rain- our paddocks are turned green now

4:26 am

Politicians, I mean - but not the WA Inc. ones

4:27 am

My mum has a hailstone in her freezer which is as big as a golfball - she's in Applecross

4:28 am

I agree about the old polies but I did like John Howard

4:28 am

pollies

4:28 am

We had them that size here in Hillarys apparently - I was at work so didn't see them

4:28 am

that rings a bell...I think I have distant relatives who used to live in Applecross

4:29 am

I was brought up in Applecross, it's a lovely suburb

4:29 am

I had better go and ice my cake - my mother in law is coming out of nursing home tomorrow for birthday lunch.

4:30 am

You better do a great job then Ani

4:30 am

I lived in Applecross for a couple of years and went to primary school there before we moved to Albany

4:31 am

Hey ,I went to Applecross Primary 1956-191962

4:31 am

Did you go to Applecross primary sandy? We are similar age and may have been there at same time.

4:32 am

You two are only 2 years apart - you may know one another!

4:32 am

162

4:32 am

1962

4:32 am

I started there in 1962

4:33 am

OOps new Dr Who is on (on ABC) back later

4:33 am

who was your grade 7 teacher, I had Mrs Allen and Mr Mitchell

4:35 am

I had Mr Jeans in grade 5

4:35 am

Actually my profile needs updating - I'm 58 (59 later this year). I had Mrs Allen and another male teacher - but left part way through that year to go to Albany. Had Mr Jeans but can't remember which year

4:36 am

Wow, How funny!! Mr Jeans always taught Grade 5 I think and he was my favourite teacher

4:36 am

I'm 60 this year

4:37 am

We always went down to Applecross Jetty to swim after school

4:38 am

Probably a year ahead of me. I came to grade 5 from Kununoppin in 1962

4:38 am

I had a boyfriend called Graham Sell who was from Albany - he did a lot of skin diving

4:38 am

Don't know him

4:39 am

LOL This is amazing

4:39 am

I lived in Kintail Road - down towards Canning Bridge

4:39 am

I lived in Gairloch Street

4:40 am

Mum is still there and has built a lovely new house on her block

4:40 am

Trying to think of some names - Anne Marris, Ronelea Coney

4:41 am

My sister went there too, her name was Megan Jessup

4:41 am

Reason I came in and out is that my dad was a bank manager and we moved around a bit

4:42 am

I have met a lot of old pupils as I grew up , they have mostly done incredibly well over the years

4:42 am

Brett and Jonathon Townsend - Brett died in grade 7

4:43 am

I remember Sheryl Kay, Diane Johnson, Julie Fletcher Bruce Byfield and lots of other

4:43 am

Someone you might know because he was your age - Bob Symes (another bank brat)

4:43 am

How did Brett die? That sounds awful

4:43 am

Brain tumour

4:44 am

Oh how horrible and very sad

4:44 am

Small world eh?

4:45 am

It was - the class was told at start of year that he was sick and we were to be protective of him - he passed away just after I left.

4:45 am

You and I have been on Babble for ages and we now discover this? How fabulous

4:45 am

It is a small world indeed.

4:45 am

It is a small world indeed.

4:46 am

Anyway, better get on with this cake. Bye for now.

4:47 am

bye for now

4:52 am

BBL have to feed and rug horses, it's getting cold

5:15 am

Anyone home? Tough little grid today..

5:16 am

Hi Jayk, just got back

5:16 am

have you done much of this?

5:17 am

actually I just looked my words when you said tough - a mere 41

5:18 am

yeah, i got to 55 without much trouble, but now all i see are as and os

5:18 am

with or without list?

5:19 am

without--but i think i'll have to list soon.

5:20 am

seems likely doesn't it ... going to focus for a bit

5:32 am

good afternoon all

5:33 am

hi Sprite

5:33 am

hi lyn, tough one, I see in chat?

5:34 am

I think so, but then, I'm no gremlin

5:34 am

seems to be, piece of cake for you I bet. How was your week Sprite?

5:35 am

rotten... yet another flu, me and my girl. How was yours?

5:36 am

Sorry to hear that Sprite - you must tell your kids to quit bringing home these bugs! My week was good - nothing special though

5:36 am

a good week is lovely, glad you had one :)

5:37 am

lol I wouldn't dare suggest it, my girl feels bad enough as it is. Had to tell her it wasn't her fault in any way.

5:38 am

Do you get flu shots each season?

5:39 am

yes I do. Still, not all viruses are covered by the shots. My resistance is zero since the allergy to antibiotics. Will take some time to rebuild.

5:40 am

I hope this one passes quickly for you

5:41 am

thank you. I am sure it will. If tomorrow brings warm weather, I will take Caya and myself outside, in a blanket, in the sun. Much better than indoors!

5:44 am

Terra would just love it too

5:44 am

oh yes. He is canoeing with my love today.

5:52 am

morning again, been to Church and now have possession of the big computer so will be able to read the chat

5:52 am

I think I agree with your judgment, lyn and Jayck. Fast start, sturdy brick wall and way too many As.

5:52 am

Hi Katie, bags all packed?

5:52 am

hi Katie

5:53 am

and said to say, listing isn't much help either

5:53 am

Hi lynxxx not even started yet! An hour of babble then will get going so Hubby thinks I have been hard at it whilst he has been out lol

5:54 am

5:54 am

5:55 am

5:55 am

hey I found a valid composer of classical music

5:56 am

5:56 am

lol it means an old Scottish unit of liquid measure equivalent to about a quart, or a container of that size.

5:56 am

my pleasure! And my new thing learned for today too.

5:58 am

oh just found the short name for one of our soap operas co 6/21

5:59 am

I do have one co6/21 but no idea if that is the one :)

6:00 am

6:01 am

6:01 am

6:02 am

Norma is looking after them so it's not like they are going to be neglected

6:02 am

6:03 am

6:05 am

6:10 am

hi Mich, yes it is hard

6:10 am

i'm just at half, will glean what I can from the rest of the chog, but hpeless for most, I'm sure

6:11 am

Hi, muchnick. How is your eather?

6:11 am

mich nik, or much of a mich!!

6:11 am

Hot here, sunny, typical Israeli spring-almost summer day. We've had weird weather all last week though. Cool, even rain, almost unheard of after Marc!

6:11 am

6:12 am

do you get desert flowers after the rain?

6:13 am

thanks, Ruby!

6:13 am

left and right columns greyed out

6:13 am

Yes, this is the season. Nothing in my immediate neighborhood but lots of desert flowers & wildflowers just north and west of me. My pot cactus on my porch is covered with lovely purple blooms though.

6:14 am

Stuck on last three 7's : ap 7/40, bi 7/48 and pa 7/36 any clues gratefully accepted

6:14 am

I love cactus flowers. Where my son lives in Texas hill country, in March the little hills are covered in flowers.

6:14 am

Ruby just clued bi7.48

6:14 am

It's amazing when the desert blooms. No water for miles and miles yet lots of lovely flowers!

6:14 am

6:15 am

I've heard that namibia is like that for a very short time each year, but I don't thik I'll ever get there.....

6:16 am

Yes, but you know how it is when you live somewhere, it is so hard to get out of the routine and go see the beauty of the country!

6:16 am

6:22 am

Katie! Go wash your mouth, silly.

6:22 am

7:05 am

8:39 am

you can tell I am going bonkers

8:39 am

clue for ca 6/27

8:39 am

automobile + not bottom

8:40 am

so i heard something interesting in a talk yesterday which never would have occurred to me. the talk was about service animals for the disabled. the speaker mentioned, as an aside, that it has occurred to some that it would make much more sense to pair the physically disabled with the mentally disabled. the mentally disabled could cook and so forth and be better at doing physical stuff than, say, a helper monkey, and would be in a more protected and good environment than a lot of group homes and things, and both would have companionship. yet people don't do it, and what's more, people are very willing to donate money for training helper monkeys, but not willing to donate for this kind of thing, even though it would be much more economical. thoughts?

8:40 am

opps wrong word, sorry

8:40 am

ca 6----nice bacation spot, warm weather

8:40 am

it worked Mom

8:40 am

interesting idea, hursh

8:40 am

interesting concept

8:41 am

hey there crossy

8:41 am

I'm glad Boo

8:41 am

howdy everyone;)

8:41 am

Hi {{Crossy}}

8:41 am

*vacation

8:41 am

Crosssy!!!! I need to ask a question

8:41 am

go right ahead annie;))

8:41 am

so wherein do you think the aversion lies? does it seem like one party would be "using" the other, rather than it being mutually beneficial? or do we just think it's so much cooler and cuter to use monkeys?

8:42 am

Cancun is not in the grid ;)

8:42 am

carribean, but different

8:42 am

would it not be too mentally challenging for the physically disabled person?

8:42 am

i don't know, flask - in what way would you imagine?

8:42 am

crossy, do you know about HDMI wires or cables?

8:43 am

ok for example,my wife needs a seeing eye dog,would a mentaly disabled person be able to judge correctly safety in all situations when my wife is moving around outside? just a thought

8:43 am

*wants to know about HDMI also*

8:43 am

well....they would have to have their wits about them at ALL times.....

8:44 am

don't they already have to?

8:44 am

and would they have accepts responsibility for the mentally disabled partner?

8:44 am

that is a good question, for sure.

8:44 am

i know many cables and wire hook ups but that is not one of them(can you be specific as to usage of this wire type?

8:45 am

bbl

8:45 am

crossy - i think that you could probably make sure that they could - you wouldn't have the very severely mentally handicapped involved.

8:45 am

Hi, all. Oooh, Crossy's answering a MAN question!

8:45 am

bye Peri

8:45 am

Hi, all. Oooh, Crossy's answering a MAN question!

8:45 am

Hi NancyBoy

8:45 am

oops. once was enough, sorry.

8:45 am

HDMI computer hook up to TV for display

8:45 am

not really nancy,technology goes faster than ole crossy sometimes

8:46 am

I have a flat screen TV that I want to hook up to High Def. but the picture sometimes is distorted and the sound skips. I was told a HDMI would fix this but before I go out and spend $80 I would like to know if this is the solution.

8:46 am

goes too fast for ME, Crossy. Sometimes the cat unplugs cables just to tease me.

8:47 am

sorry ladies,i would have to google information same as you in this case;(((

8:47 am

half way for me, be back later. Hats off to all who get fireworks. {{Hugs}}

8:47 am

Thanks crossy...will google and try to understand

8:48 am

bye (((Mom)))

8:48 am

{{Annie}} have a great day

8:48 am

i want to hook up my laptop to play online videos on my HD tv, and i don't know, even after googling, how to make sure i get the right one for my gen of macbook and how to know if it will have both audio and video and whether i already have too much other crap plugged into the TV to do it!

8:48 am

i DO know that not just any flat screen should be hooked up to high def,you need a high def tv for a high def hook up,and cable companies usually supply all cables with ther high def boxes

8:49 am

does anyone have the ca 7

8:49 am

Sorry Hurshy wasn't ignoring you......pc crashed!

8:49 am

The Cablevision tech (the 3 rd one that came to solve this) mentioned HDMI wire.

8:49 am

sounds kind of like the vitamin, beta ca________

8:50 am

'sok flask!

8:50 am

and hursy is you lappy high def capable,many are not you may end up looking at 2 inches of black screen on each side

8:50 am

ty

8:50 am

i don't care about picture quality, i just want to be able to view things on a larger screen.

8:51 am

i mean, i'm assuming the pic quality would be roughly the same as the laptop, not worse, but that is fine with me.

8:52 am

i know it can be done hurshy,i was in staples the other day and they had 6 different lappys all hooked up to one giant flat screen for demo usage

8:52 am

i suppose that's the key, go into a store to get a cable, instead of buying online.

8:53 am

sometimes even crossy uses the geek squad;/

8:53 am

what a NICE miss mitty i have.

8:54 am

crossy, the Geek Squad hooked up my TV..so they would be able to give me the answer to all this...???

8:54 am

indeed annie;)))

8:54 am

okay, crossy, will do. thanks

8:54 am

they can probably fire you a answer right down the phone line;)

8:55 am

she's a most good doll of a cat.

8:56 am

see my television is still pretty primitive as i do not have much use for cable channels full of garbage..hehe i still have a actual running vcr and about 100 tapes when i want a movie lol

8:56 am

sometimes she licks me Just Because She Knows I Like It! i call that very kind.

8:57 am

every time a tape breaks with age ,i replace it with a dvd

8:57 am

dvd disk*

8:57 am

isn't that redundant?

8:57 am

isn't it Digital Video Disk(c?)

8:57 am

I have to be smug to balance out the surliness of my icon.

9:00 am

9:00 am

9:00 am

9:02 am

morning everyone!

9:03 am

hi jmb

9:03 am

LOL Hurshy!

9:03 am

I win. I have a hobbit and a view of St michaels Mount

9:03 am

the one that plays the tubes,not the lp,s

9:04 am

always tossing in that hobbit to win the hand eh?

9:04 am

you do win though Crossy - we have a record player but only for the sake of the handful of records we own. Usually, it's iPods and docks!

9:04 am

always gets a few points from the dog lovers

9:04 am

domesticated dogs aren't older than bread, and views of particular places aren't universal enough.

9:05 am

I'd be impressed if you'd tamed your own mammoth

9:05 am

i have a 450 year old 5 oz ingot of silver...:)

just a quick q..does anyone

9:05 am

bi*d + fish and *****

does anyone know if you can play previous babble games and how

9:06 am

you can't, sadly :(

9:06 am

I'm living in a flat that behaves like it was fashioned by cavemen, if that counts

9:06 am

why would one want to play previous games?

9:06 am

Correction

9:06 am

I named a fossil species from about 250 million years ago. Ha.

9:06 am

i mean you can see what the grids were and like, play on paper or something, but, you can't enter the words on the site

9:09 am

acquiescent?

9:09 am

compliant.

9:09 am

ccquiescent? acquisitive? depends on what word you are looking for

9:10 am

I win, I have a baroque harp.... (your turn)

9:10 am

I have been trying to get my PC to run faster and it is not cooperating.

9:10 am

since i can't think of one for that root

9:10 am

acquisitive isn't right at all

9:10 am

that's when you want to acquire stuff

9:10 am

have you run msconfig scrabby?

9:10 am

no, of course not.. i wasn't reading back. just saw your question. acquiescent is probably what you want'

9:10 am

clue for ch 6 please

9:11 am

and good morning to everyone

9:11 am

Atlante, what did you name it?

9:11 am

and done a disk clean and defrag?

9:11 am

I have used a process scanner, computer cleaner...do I enter msconfig in RUN

9:12 am

oh? the fish? Acentrophorus pattersoni

9:12 am

and i know you use ff scrabbs,but temp files and cookies still build up in IE,get rid of them

9:12 am

Who is Patterson (?)

9:12 am

yes, acquiescent!

9:13 am

and if you do not have the c cleaner program,download it

9:13 am

certainly not Paterson NJ (the most dangerous city in NJ... far worse than Newark, actually)

9:13 am

I will keep working on stuff, Crossy. I cannot afford a new PC now.

9:13 am

owie

9:13 am

catchy, eh? LOL Colin Patterson was a fish palaeontology genius and a great mentor to me. He died just before I finished my PhD

9:13 am

my MART is a very very very fine MART

9:13 am

Marty boy, Hursh!

i thought camden held that honor - are you sure?

9:13 am

running c cleaner is the best start scrabby

9:14 am

Very cool. Where did you find the fish?

9:14 am

only now he is annoying his sister by sniffing her butt.

9:14 am

and then he makes a face. well don't sniff it then!

9:14 am

9:59 am

Woo hoo, Crossy!

9:59 am

yaaa! will have to take my lady for a walk down by the water and find a pretty flower to put in her hair;))

10:01 am

oc6/24 clue please

10:01 am

I am going to head into town now to shop--fridge + cupboards are almost empty.

10:01 am

you have all the fixin,s for a nice stew...hehe

10:01 am

crossy bad

10:01 am

I don't have it, Matches

10:02 am

Stop it, Crossy. Rabbits are not for eating!

10:02 am

crossy is sorry

10:02 am

You like to push that bunny button.

10:03 am

mm bunny buttons

10:04 am

You may eat chocolate + marshmallow rabbits.

10:06 am

can we eat lapin?

10:07 am

No, lawyer. Real bunnies cannot be eaten.

10:08 am

How about Hasenpfeffer?

10:08 am

Nope. I know that Haas = rabbit in German.

10:09 am

u ruined my menu for today!

10:09 am

what does rabbit even taste like? I'm not a meat-eater.

10:09 am

chicken

10:10 am

everything tastes like chicken apparently ;) crocodile, frogs legs, humans...!

10:10 am

and don't say I should just eat chicken!

10:11 am

LOL. I'm a vegan so even chicken is too far!

10:12 am

NB, I am a vegetarian that is seriously pondering going vegan.

10:12 am

Our French neighbor finds the American attitude towards eating rabbit puzzling. She went to a supermarket when she first arrived--a market stocked with all kinds and cuts of meat, but no rabbit. When she asked about it, the meat counter guy reacted as though she's asked for a nice tender roast of baby!

10:13 am

LOL jan, maybe she should try asking for some roast baby

10:13 am

Jan, I have had pet rabbits since 1983, with 4 of them now.

10:13 am

nothing wrong with cannibalism

10:13 am

but, people don't taste like chicken

10:14 am

well I can only recommend it Scrabbs - on the orders of the nurse at my school (silly woman) I was a meat-eater again for a while, but now back to veganism and never felt healthier. Only problem is that it can be inconvenient in restaurants!

10:14 am

clue for ap7 please?

10:14 am

I understand those with pet rabbits being off put--I doubt I could eat guinea pig in Peru.

10:14 am

Well, I have been awake for 3 hrs now. It is time to accomplish some of my tasks. First I must drive into town to shop.

10:15 am

BBL, Babble buddies.

10:15 am

how do you know, Lawyer? ;)

10:15 am

not to criticize but don't understand why rabbit but not guinea pig?

10:15 am

cuz I'm a lawyer!

10:15 am

hahahahaha

10:16 am

i find american palates rather unadverturous

10:16 am

lol!

10:16 am

Because I never had a pet rabbit--in fact, they're kind of pests in my neighborhood, but we did have a succession of guinea pigs when the kids were little. I have no objection to others who eat guinea pig, but I'm not sure I could myself.

10:17 am

ap7 please?

10:17 am

I think it's the other way around Shirlock - all the Americans I know seem to eat such a wide range of food from other cultures. I think they'd probably be surprised that other countries eat such a predictable menu.

10:18 am

oc 6/24 clue

10:18 am

tran

10:18 am

Nancy Boy, when my husband went to India for work he was warned to take a suitcase of food, because "the food over there isn't very good".

10:19 am

really, Nancy Boy? I live in NYC and there are lots of people here who do "ethnic" but still not beyond their usual

10:19 am

chicken, beef, pork

10:19 am

erda - ap + vowel + abbr. for what singers sing into + consonant

10:19 am

LOL! SamanthaJoy...that's crazy

10:19 am

sorry it's hard to clue

10:20 am

Yep. But he works in a very traditional area; don't confuse 'the Americans you know" with "most Americans". :-)

10:20 am

I guess you'd know better than me if you live there, Shirlock! I'm comparing it to where I'm from - always eat very trationally there

10:20 am

*traditionally even

10:20 am

Some Americans are pretty unadventurous--my mother refuses to eat anything remotely "ethnic" including fast food tacos! Others are more adventurous--though we still underutilize organ meats in this country. I feel that if you are going to eat animals, you ought to eat as much of them as possible so as not to waste the sacrifice of a being.

10:20 am

just commenting on this thread with rabbit v. guinea pig

10:21 am

Matches, plural of a sea creature with 8 tentacles

10:21 am

Got it, LeslieAnn -- many thanks!

10:21 am

I've eaten some pretty out-there things, I think. Sheep intestines on a stick in TGurkey, sea slugs in China.

10:21 am

what do sea slugs taste like?

10:22 am

jan, it doesn't get wasted. It gets put into fertilizers and dog food and things you'd never think of, but it doesn't get wasted--that wouldn't be good capitalism

10:22 am

just don't eat a hamburger in Iran

10:22 am

i have a bigger prob. with the meat industry itself -- recently saw Food Inc. -- and been trying to go more for organic because of it

10:22 am

ty joey got it

10:22 am

or into mechanically recovered meat. ew ew ew.

10:23 am

'cause for some reason, the western world just loves the taste of carcass.

10:23 am

Just like you's think--most of a texture than a flavor. An acquired taste I think.

10:23 am

Yep, Nancy, it's gross but it lasts forever and it's better than being hungry

10:23 am

clue for the bi 7 pls

10:23 am

yes i would think it tastes slimy. :)

10:24 am

Shirlock, you're so right. Mass production of animals is leading to more diseases and repulsive practices than mere killing of them.

10:24 am

yw

10:25 am

Oh, great. Now I have a phantom of "carrion"

10:25 am

LOL! how very topical

10:25 am

Here's a story about Americans and organ meat: My husband (who is British) makes a fine steak and kidney pie. We were having some guests over and asked if they'd like to try it. The wife said, "would you mind substituting for the steak? I don't mind the kidney beans, of course." !

10:26 am

my phantom is nicotine

10:26 am

haha best not to explain that to her then jan

10:26 am

Mine is cioppino

10:26 am

v. funny, jan

10:26 am

Oh, jan, that is hilarious!!

10:27 am

We ended up making a cauliflower and cheese pie instead.

10:28 am

Did you clue her in, or just quietly change plans and move on?

10:29 am

Nah, we figured if the steak grossed her out, the idea that we might have included kidneys would have been beyond the pale.

10:29 am

or the pail.

10:29 am

;-)

10:29 am

haha jbp

10:29 am

See, I *am* beyond the pale--I would have offered to make her spotted dick instead

10:30 am

oh my

10:30 am

yeah, but theres no meat there.

10:30 am

If she leapt to the conclusion that all kidneys are beans, I would have left her to draw her own conclusions!

10:31 am

Could be suet though. (In fact, there should be, in my culinary opinion.)

10:31 am

Isn't that kind of the definition? It's a suet pudding?

10:32 am

True, but nowadays a lot of people substitute vegetable shortening. Which doesn't rally substitute that well, because it melts at a lower temperature and makes the pudding too hard and dense.

10:33 am

i had a date like that once. ;-)

10:33 am

Hard? Dense? Vegetable-like?

10:33 am

spotted dick?

10:33 am

hee

10:34 am

I know about these things because I have a Brit hubby who likes his puddings every now and then and a vegetarian daughter, so for years we substituted.

10:34 am

If his name was Mike and he propositioned the waitress, I had the same date.

10:34 am

hahaha

10:34 am

lol

10:34 am

who wants to clue me the bottom row N?

10:35 am

and SamJoy, I *love* your icon!

10:35 am

i just have one - ni + dad

10:35 am

Oh thank you!

10:35 am

thanks LA!

10:36 am

bottom n -

10:36 am

Not to change the subject, but is this grid as hard as I think it is?

10:36 am

sorry; Meeko the cat is typing again

10:36 am

10:36 am

12:45 pm

12:45 pm

Nah, you're not that old, Pini. Neither am I. It's just a silly little TV factoid that stuck in my brain.

12:45 pm

12:45 pm

12:46 pm

age is a state of mind -- personally, I'm still 35

12:49 pm

I was given a pixie cut...I absolutely hated it...after it grew out, never had short hair again!

12:49 pm

My mother used to cut my hair. I still have the school pictures to haunt me.

12:50 pm

I didn't wear glasses until I was thirty

12:50 pm

Grandmother used to give all the kids home perms...she was not a beautician!

12:50 pm

Big gap between my two front teeth (pre-braces), and bangs that were so uneven, they might as well have been chewed off by rats.

12:50 pm

I held on glasses 'til 47!

12:50 pm

rofl judi

12:50 pm

gads, we have some war stories here!!!!

Then, there was the year my mother decided to give me a "shag cut". *shudder*

12:51 pm

12:52 pm

12:53 pm

12:54 pm

one of my cousins really admires Jim Morrison and tried to grow his hair to be like Jim's...it didn't work; his hair just grew straight up. More Marge Simpson than effortless sex god...

12:54 pm

This grid is a killer, isn't it? Or is it just me??

1:53 pm

Hello all. Yes, I agree, this is a toughie.

It's a revolting grid

1:53 pm

I was able to play yesterday, and saw a lot of complaints about that grid, but it didn't seem too bad to me. This one, however....

1:54 pm

I'm monkeying words such as you couldn't imagine, LOL. Only my twisted little mind could invent some of what I'm typing in! Desperate times call for desperate measures? LOL

1:54 pm

Glad it isn't just me then, gwenski! LOL

1:55 pm

But on the positive side, I'm more than 2/3rds done!

1:58 pm

2:13 pm

wtg shivs!

2:14 pm

What's your name on there, Pini?

2:14 pm

Lexulous on Facebook is better -- more features -- hi all!

2:14 pm

Mine is same as here, but without a space.

2:14 pm

Hiya, Jilli!!

2:14 pm

hi jilli (hit me up a game)

2:14 pm

let me jump over shivs

2:14 pm

Good to see you back, Shivs!

2:14 pm

I don't play on there. My Facebook is only for connecting with my university alumni, I keep it stricly for that.

2:15 pm

I know -- too bad.

2:15 pm

I wouldn't have it at all, except they were all on there!

2:15 pm

same name, no space?

2:15 pm

Not too bad ... I can't stand Facebook, too busy!

2:15 pm

Right, Pinikula.

2:16 pm

Pini, first ro5/14 is a bug

2:16 pm

But playing Lex there is quite separate

2:16 pm

How do I add you there? Same name as well??

2:16 pm

Oh I don't know, I never go there! LOL

2:16 pm

wait...where am I logging in?

2:16 pm

I play Lexulous on their web site, or through e mail which seems to work better with everyone so busy!

2:17 pm

On www.lexulous.com ??

2:17 pm

any help for the ca7 pls

2:17 pm

oooooh, I get it now...I play Lex through FB...

2:17 pm

I'm on there now, wondering how to add you?

2:17 pm

beta ca*****

2:17 pm

ty Pini, dear

2:17 pm

on where? FB or Lex?

2:17 pm

Oh nm, the same name has worked!

2:18 pm

I've done that too, shivs,but as I said, on FB there are more features. You can take your time, too.

2:18 pm

Anyway, I'd better get on with this beast --17 left

2:18 pm

That's why I like email games!

2:19 pm

git'r dun, jilli (9 to go here)

2:19 pm

If you play Lexulous through Facebook, can't you play a game with someone who's signed into the Lexulous web site? I bet you can!!

2:20 pm

unfortunately, no, shivs

2:20 pm

ok, I'm on Lex...where are you?

2:20 pm

I have 79 left, LOL! Think I might as well give up??

2:20 pm

nah, you can dooooooooooooo it!

2:20 pm

33 left snd struggling even with the list

2:20 pm

I'm on Lex too ... are we having a game now? I'll go to a room. How about The Lounge?

2:21 pm

No I can't doooooooooooooo it!! :oP

2:21 pm

25 here

2:21 pm

I'm hopelessly blonde! LOL

2:21 pm

do want a game now or should we start an email version?

2:22 pm

3 left....chuga chuga chug....

2:22 pm

Shivs, if you go to FB you can get the little blue Lex icon and click on it to go to the game. It's a totally different site from the web page

2:23 pm

shivs...started an email game...(never done that before - this is a first)

2:23 pm

No, I avoid signing into there like the plague, LOL. Get hit with too much rubbish every time I do!! I'm on the Lexulous site already, gone into the lounge.

2:23 pm

although I suppose you can only have games with your FB friends -- I wonder.

2:24 pm

shivs, the lounge is full, won't let me in

2:24 pm

true, jilli...

2:24 pm

yes Lexulous in FB allows you to limit to friends, and remove from the general search there. {poof for real}

2:24 pm

oh, wait...no, you can play with anyone...they don't need to be your "friend"

2:24 pm

hi/bye dc! (yeah, what dc said)

2:25 pm

OK, I give up! But it has a progress graph, and a place for notes, et etc which the email site didn't have last time I looked.

2:25 pm

hi/bye dc!

2:25 pm

I like playing via FB

2:26 pm

Oh? Maybe I should make a separate account on there, so I don't have to sign into the one I have where I'm hit with too much junk each time I sign in, LOL!!

2:26 pm

Me too -- are you Pini there?

2:26 pm

I'm in The Lounge on the Lexulous web site, Pini. I don't see you there??

2:26 pm

shivs, you can limit your "junk" mail in FB by changing your privacy settings

2:26 pm

you betcha, jilli!

2:27 pm

shivs, the lounge is full..it won't let me in (but I did start an email game for ya)

2:27 pm

Good idea, Shivs! There's a grop up called Babblers Worldwide on FB.

2:27 pm

(used the email addy in your babble profile)

2:27 pm

It isn't mail I'm talking about! It's all those silly things friends send at you, expecting you to accept and return!! Gets mighty annoying!

2:27 pm

Oh no, LOL. Better to use my google email!

2:27 pm

you can HIDE all of those shivs!

2:27 pm

I almost never check my Yahoo! mail, LOL.

2:28 pm

I just ignore them, shivs

2:28 pm

you don't ever have to see 'em if you don't want to!

2:28 pm

I don't know, I never have time to go through all the settings there!! I am too busy to be online much as is!

2:29 pm

well, once you hide one hit from a game (like farmville), it hids all of them and blocks future ones

2:29 pm

Hello again. My mother is talking at me on the phone so I will find words.

2:29 pm

I went back on Myspace and sent an invite, Jilli.

2:29 pm

I was dragged back, kicking and screaming, LOL!

2:29 pm

Anytime you see one of those posts, just hover to the right and select 'Hide'. Then FB gives you the option to hide the application or the person.

2:29 pm

Well, I have to get lunch now so farewell for a while

peri, have you bought a car yet?

2:29 pm

hi scrabs ;)

2:29 pm

Hiya Scrabbler, I'm struggling to find one more word because I have 79 and it's not an even number, LOL!

hello scrabbler. my true babble friend.

2:30 pm

Shivs, I already accepted on MySpace -- thanks.

2:30 pm

Ah, yes, you are my OCD-numbers friend.

2:30 pm

How have you been today, Owl?

2:30 pm

Okay, good Jilli!

i am worrying about her, she makes me look like a social butterfly!

2:33 pm

One of my sisters is like that--does not like the immenseness of Wegmans. i love it--feels like going on a trip.

2:33 pm

WTG, MetFan! Don't know how some of you do it, with grids like this!!

pardon me, only have one ro5 and making it po 5 does not work

2:34 pm

What is Wegmans?

2:34 pm

Wegmans = great supermarket started in Rochester, NY, then spread to here, Buffalo, now all over Northeast.

2:34 pm

thanks for ca 7. how about bi 7/48? Any clue please

well as i explaned to her, if you skip the fancy and organic stuff and the hard goods it is quite compact

2:35 pm

***graphy + potato ****

2:35 pm

Oh and they have a deli or lunch counter?

2:35 pm

Then TO you must not have the cock ro5. Because the rhyming po 5 is a method of cooking

2:35 pm

Wegmans has the best produce dept, a Market Cafe with food stations---pizza, wings, Chinese, salad bar, subs, pasta, etc

2:35 pm

I did find those, amazingly! LOL

2:36 pm

2:39 pm

2:39 pm

The "100-day cough".

2:39 pm

Would you give a hint as to that bi 7, TO?

2:39 pm

NOOOOOOOO... book says 6 weeks, and I refuse to accept longer

2:40 pm

Yes please, for me too? LOL

2:40 pm

2:41 pm

2:41 pm

I did take azithromax... but only for 5 days

2:41 pm

LOL -- that's a really good thing, TO

2:41 pm

I need the 2nd one, kateq (ro5/14)

2:41 pm

Thanks! That would never have occured to me!!

uh oh... you know you are in toruebl when you get the list and still cannot find the words.

2:42 pm

So, extend the tx, kje

2:43 pm

I haven't gone to the list yet, probably should!

2:43 pm

pini change the second vowel to the cross letter

2:43 pm

usually, z-pack is 5 days, but for pertussis, they recommend longer... but i have been off it for a week, so see no reason to start now, the cat is out of the bag

2:43 pm

thx wild!

2:43 pm

the literature says there is no point in treating late pertussis.... so I will suffer... but ONLY for 6 weeks!

2:43 pm

yw

2:43 pm

Thanks again Pini, big help!!

2:43 pm

still looking for po6/21

2:44 pm

Hi mrpresident! How are you doing? Welcome to grid!

5:53 pm

I attended a dog parade with my dog and my sister's dog. We only saw pa 4/5 of the parade since we got there late. I'm surprised my sister's dog didn't cause a ri 4/4 and bi 4/6 anyone in the cro 5/14.She is a ti 4/6 dog,but can be feisty. She's a bi5/18 sometimes. Sometimes she can have a big ch 4/6 on her shoulder At times I want to just ch4/7 off her mouth because she barks a lot. The po5/12 that I am trying to make is that she's a great dog,but she's a pain sometimes. Anyway, I wanted to push her in a ca 4/5 during the parade, but she would not stay in it. She and my dog tr 4/4ed along with all of the other dogs. My sister's dog doesn't like to goto other places much. She likes to say inside a ho 4/8 house. I in5/10duced the dogs to many people. I do not think she liked it there. She was it 4/6ing to leave and hell be 4/6 on going home. Jack, the dog that's mi4/5, loved the parade.He was not impa4/6ed by it much.There were vendors there so I bought some na5/14s.After the parade we went in4/4 a diner to eat lunch.Now I'm going to go in 4/4 the kitchen to make dinner. I will be here off and on to clue for the rest of the ni4/4.Hope this helped out

10:25 pm

yay jae!!!

10:25 pm

dont mind me, ill figure it out, enjoy yourselves

10:25 pm

Ty all.

10:25 pm

ZeStY, below the 2 grids on the left is a "Friends of babble list. There are 2 sites there to try: Licketys Babble Clues and AngelSongs Babble page

10:26 pm

if you've ever played Boggle, it's very similar to that...simply make words using the letters connecting in consecutive order (any direction)

10:26 pm

former tangleword junkie

10:26 pm

then you should be a shoe-in...lots of former T players here

10:27 pm

but what do the friends of sites do?

10:27 pm

when people ask for a clue (i.e., bi4/6), they're probably getting the hint from Lickety's list

10:28 pm

im sorry guys, i used to hate ppl that asked easy ? s like this... im just having trouble with this set up for some reason, so ty for dealing with me

10:28 pm

Licketys Page give you a list of the first 2 letters of the words and their counts and scores (ap 7/40 (for ex)

10:28 pm

the BI are the first two letters, the first number is the number of letters (in this case 4), the number after is the po5 value (in this case 6)

10:29 pm

no need to feel awkward, zesty...we all started out the same way...ask away!

10:29 pm

but AngelSongs Babble page helps explain things better and gives the A toZ lists for 4, 5, 6, letter words (if you need that

10:29 pm

but AngelSongs Babble page helps explain things better and gives the A toZ lists for 4, 5, 6, letter words (if you need that

10:29 pm

oh geez!

10:30 pm

co 6/21 (either)?

10:30 pm

so, basically, just start finding what words you can; you'll learn the rest as you go along!

10:30 pm

Hey, we like new meat here! ;-) Err, I mean new addicts

10:30 pm

okay, what happens when i just cant find anymore words, (cause at this point, i'm going on my own w no help)

10:30 pm

lmao nef

10:31 pm

co6 = co**** Feldman (tv)

10:31 pm

that's where Lickety's Babble Clues come in handy, zesty....open the list in a different window and follow the directions (not as hard as it may seem)

10:31 pm

the second co6 = apple ***e + metal can

10:31 pm

We are a friendly bunch , ZeStY.

10:32 pm

Got them, thanks!

10:32 pm

well done, jellen ;)

10:32 pm

10:33 pm

10:33 pm

hi ru ;)

10:33 pm

Don't sweat the small stuff, ZeStY.

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

ruru, I'm confusing ZeStY. You know that's nothing new

10:34 pm

Hi, ruru

10:34 pm

oh..

10:34 pm

hi jellen.

10:34 pm

you, ru?

10:34 pm

u guys crack me up =). k, sry again, but the babble help thing- its confusing the crap out of me- i dont get how to work it

10:35 pm

you have it open, zesty?

10:35 pm

yup.. thankfully

10:35 pm

ps never felt so dumb in my life, yes i have lickety open

10:35 pm

if so, copy the list of words you've found under "my word list" and paste them in the large box at the bottom of lickety's list, press Bulk Add

10:35 pm

lickety give you the first two letters and the total points.

10:35 pm

oc 6/24, please?

10:36 pm

don't feel dumb!

10:36 pm

or + most of a pain

10:36 pm

oc6 = lots of the 8-legged swimmers

10:36 pm

o...oops

10:36 pm

they have sea gardens jellen

10:37 pm

and tentacles

10:37 pm

Thanks, Pini and ruru...needed that, too!

10:37 pm

then what pink?

10:37 pm

and 8 legs

10:37 pm

oops, sry, pini

10:37 pm

just shoot me =(

10:37 pm

(bang)

10:37 pm

haha grrr

10:37 pm

when you press Bulk Add, the list will populate with the words you've already found...then just look at the hints that are still blank...ask away!

10:38 pm

ZeStY, do you have ANY words entered yet in your word list?

10:38 pm

30

10:38 pm

only 83 to go

10:39 pm

lol haha thanks ruru

10:39 pm

git r dun zesty

10:39 pm

yeah, ru's one of our resident funnymen! * giggle *

10:39 pm

YAY!! Copy and paste them into the Bulk Add box (WAY down at the Bottom of Licketys list) and then it should give you hints of what you do and don't have

10:39 pm

how bout i root for you instead?

10:40 pm

?? what? me ... funny? who...me?

10:40 pm

Oh. The grid changes once every 24 hours, at 12 MN CST

10:40 pm

yeah, you, ru! LOL

10:40 pm

nef- pini helped me do that, but im still lost after it thanks anyways though... the chart thing confuses the crap out of me lol

10:41 pm

did your words go into the list, zesty? if so, pick a word that is still blank and let us know what the stats for it say; we'll give you a clue for it

10:42 pm

pa 7/36?

10:42 pm

nothing is blank its all 2 letters on the left

10:42 pm

pa + hook + patr****

10:43 pm

those should be there, zesty...there should be a blank to the right of each where your word will go (if you have it or when you get it)

10:43 pm

okay, I just hit half way and did the same thing with my list. I'm still missing the bottom ro4/4 on that list, so I need to look for another ro 4 letter word where each letter is worth only 1 point and it has to follow the word above it

10:44 pm

Nef, you'd better get to work! :)

10:44 pm

Not getting it....

10:45 pm

oh, sorry, jellen...pa + hook + I am very patri****

10:45 pm

Pini, i just got here shortly befor 10 for the first time today. I'm trying! I know: git'r done! :-)

10:45 pm

where do i type the words in?

10:45 pm

(better?)

10:45 pm

Got it, thanks!

10:46 pm

type your words into the Add Word box in the babble screen; you'll need to copy/paste occasionally to update Lickety's list

10:47 pm

it wont add my words

10:47 pm

did you paste a copy of your list into the large box at the bottom of Lickety's List and press Bulk Add?

10:48 pm

im cursed with this game !!! GRRRR

10:48 pm

yes, i did just as you said, but when i type words in at the top, even clicking add word, nada happens

10:48 pm

you're doing great, zesty...patience is a virtue!

10:48 pm

Way, WAY, WAY down at the bottom of lickety's page there are 2 bxes,

10:48 pm

10:48 pm

10:50 pm

10:50 pm

10:51 pm

brb gla

10:52 pm

"we try, zesty. sometimes we succeed, sometimes ruru makes more sense! ;-)" was not found in the dictionary

10:52 pm

(I'm always chatting in the wrong box as you can see)

10:52 pm

May I please have a clue for to5-12? Thanks

10:52 pm

nef, you nut! :)

10:53 pm

****graphy + "eye"

10:53 pm

or to + hawaiian food

10:53 pm

Good evening all, I need a clue for ap7 and bi6/24, please

10:53 pm

Nef, you make me giggle! :)

10:54 pm

Thanks much, Pini.

10:54 pm

hi marc ;)

Hi Pink

10:54 pm

ap + at**** bomb + cross

10:54 pm

ap7: a + (many **ems rhyme) + (swing and a **ss!) + Hollywood a**or

10:54 pm

hi grem

10:55 pm

I just copied my own clue from yesterday

10:55 pm

hi

10:55 pm

you done good, Gremlin! :-)

10:55 pm

"bi6 = ***graphy + *** toc goes the clock" -- Pinikula

10:55 pm

Hi Mark

10:55 pm

hey, I remember that one, grem! :)

10:56 pm

figured it would be easier to open the archive and search for "bi6" in the browser

10:56 pm

smarty!

Thanks gremlinn but the bi clue was for bi6/27 not bi6/24?

10:56 pm

(dog's gotta "help" now. seems to need some attention)

10:56 pm

***graphy + metal can

Hi Nef

10:57 pm

Ah, change the last letter

thanks Pink got it.

10:57 pm

;)

10:57 pm

bi 6/27 is a medicine that cures: Antibi****

11:00 pm

* wonders if zesty's coming back with beer for all *

11:01 pm

I hope so (even if I don't drink the stuff). I'd use it to activate my compost pile

11:01 pm

Fireworks!

11:01 pm

wtg jellen!

11:01 pm

YAY, Jellen!!! WTG!!!!

11:02 pm

I don't drink it either, nef, but sounded good ;)

11:02 pm

Congrats, Jellen!!!!!

11:03 pm

hello everyone -- grats, jellen

11:03 pm

hi nan

11:03 pm

Thank you Zesty for asking the questions about how to understand babblese! I had been wondering the same thing. Thank you to Nef, Pink and all the rest of you for the instructions on how to use Lickety. I now know what I am doing for the first time since I started playing this game!

11:03 pm

did you finish pini?

11:03 pm

add some sugar and mix it and the beer together, put on your compost and boy does the bacteria get happy and you get good black dirt! :-)

11:03 pm

yeah, fuzzy!!! glad to have helped! :)

11:03 pm

Hi, nan and fuzzybunny

11:03 pm

I did, nan ;)

11:04 pm

I'll have to remember that, Nef ;)

11:04 pm

oh, and welcome aboard, fuzzy

11:04 pm

some new players, I see --- welcom fuzzy and zesty

11:05 pm

Thanks, I have been an avid boggle/wordsplay fan for a long time and heard about babble from players over there.

11:05 pm

hi nan and fuzzy. Don't be afraid to ask questions, fuzzy. We all have to learn someday

11:05 pm

that's how I heard about it

11:05 pm

glad to have you, fuzzy

11:06 pm

Glad to be here! You are all very helpful and friendly. How do you get an avatar and profile?

11:06 pm

you turn pro (by paying a one-time lifetime membership fee)

11:07 pm

But no need to rush into that - I think you get 2 weeks with all the features, and after that it just hides some of the clues unless you upgrade

11:07 pm

(your fireworks go away after the first 2-wks, going pro lets you have 'em forever)

11:07 pm

So, for around $15.00, you can look good like us! ;-)

11:07 pm

Will have to wait until tomorrow, it is getting late and I get up at 6. See you all tomorrow. Thanks so much for the help tonight.

11:08 pm

gee, right to the po5, nef! LOL

11:08 pm

take care, fuzzy...come again soon!

11:08 pm

Night

11:08 pm

good night fuzzy

11:08 pm

nan, did you finish?

11:09 pm

HI all <waves>

11:09 pm

hi tanja

11:09 pm

yes -- just after you left this morning

11:09 pm

I've been away from the game for most of the week, Pini. Sorry for being too blunt! :-P

11:09 pm

oh, sorry to have missed your sparklers!

11:09 pm

hi tanja

11:09 pm

not blunt at all, nef...I just thought the cut to the chase was cute! :)

11:10 pm

hi Tanja. I just leaned all about ANZAC Day this weekend

11:10 pm

off for 45 minutes with my book before the flip :) bbl

11:10 pm

cya soon, nan

11:12 pm

Pini, I'm just being weird tonight. Trying to finish the grid; but wanting to chat more. DH has had a relapse in his MS and is on high-dose steroids; I think I'm acting like *I'm* the one on the steroids!

11:13 pm

yes big weekend here in australia - the kids are all sleeping between the four of them they all did a night vigil then a dawn service each then 2 day services and finished a dusk service - lots os sleeping today:)

11:13 pm

May I please have a clue for ro5-14 the 2nd? Thannks

11:13 pm

oh my, sorry to hear, nef...you're not being weird at all, it's more cute/fun than anything! You're definitely making me grin! :)

11:13 pm

and this is a horrible gridI am only halfway

11:13 pm

c***** rocket (motorcycle)

11:14 pm

it is, tanja

11:15 pm

wow tanja...quiet little ones now?

11:15 pm

and, nef, I do hope it turns around some and he feels better...

11:15 pm

clue for the bi7 please

11:16 pm

I don't know what the correct saying would be for ANZAC Day, Tanja. But I think it's important that no one forget what it's a;; about.

11:16 pm

auto***graphy + potato ****s and dip

11:17 pm

the most common words used are "lest we forget: and "we shall remember them"

11:17 pm

Pini, he's doing better; that's why I have time to Babble. Steroids are wonderful but the steroid high effect is unbelieveable internally.

11:18 pm

thanks, Tanja. We shall remember them for sure

11:18 pm

* wince * still hope it does good; glad you have some time to rest (although not sure babble is rest)

11:20 pm

LOL! I take whatever breaks I can from the stress, Pini. Babble is a good break

11:20 pm

* smile *

11:21 pm

:-D

11:23 pm

Pini, was the clue for ro5-14 the 2nd the one about motorcycle?

11:23 pm

11:27 pm

creative is an understatement!

11:27 pm

you'll be amazed at your vocabulary will improve!

11:27 pm

er, at how

11:27 pm

ok bi4,6

11:27 pm

whatever that means...

11:28 pm

Nef, sorry to have broken into your conversation earlier....do you or someone close to you need energy? (Prayer)

11:28 pm

4 letter word starting with bi (worth 6 points)

11:28 pm

hmmmm

11:28 pm

bi4/6 = bi** me!

11:29 pm

yup got that

11:29 pm

ac5,12

11:29 pm

so the b = 3 points, the other 3 letters are 1 point each = 6 total

11:29 pm

ah gotcha ty

11:30 pm

ac5 = stage player

11:30 pm

huh?

11:30 pm

ac5 = hollywood person

11:31 pm

Sandra Bullock and Tom Cruise are ac***s

11:31 pm

geez im slow

11:31 pm

in7 please

11:32 pm

Sorry ga, I wandered off for some water and then to look at the moon (it's very pretty tonight). Prayer is a very powerful thing and yes, my DH could use some (I don't know anyone who doesn't)

11:32 pm

in5 + you can do **

11:32 pm

ty pini, still need another ac5

11:32 pm

ac + metal can

11:33 pm

lmao ty pini, i need to learn to speak "chatterbox"

11:34 pm

in time, zesty :)

11:34 pm

didnt someone say they had only 2 left?

11:34 pm

jellen did awhile back...she got 'em!!

11:34 pm

wow

11:35 pm

how bout ao6, 21

11:35 pm

want one more piece of info, zesty?

11:35 pm

lol sure

11:35 pm

I'm sending....yes, we all do need it. My best to all of you....I will continue praying.

11:35 pm

ao + hook letter + *** toc goes the clock

11:36 pm

to break down the value of a word: 4 ltr words are worth the combine value of the tiles; 5 ltrs are the same x 2; 6 ltrs x 3, etc...

11:37 pm

thanks, ga. I appreciate it

11:37 pm

but you needn't worry too much about that now...just didn't want you to think your math skills were too far off when you started looking at values!

11:37 pm

from here, too, Nef!

11:38 pm

pini how do you know all of this???

11:38 pm

r u the babble god? lol

11:38 pm

been playing for awhile?

11:38 pm

gads, not even close, zesty!!!

11:39 pm

pffft

11:39 pm

I just type fast?

11:39 pm

ha nah

11:39 pm

Thanks Pini. This site is amazing; so many people are encouraging and caring here!

11:39 pm

we have a few here who can finish a grid within minutes after the flip! I am NOT one of them!

11:39 pm

brb, then you can tell me the truth lol

11:40 pm

just in to change icon

11:40 pm

sometimes I think Babble Family is more than just a group of online chatters/gamers

11:40 pm

hi flosey

11:40 pm

Zesty, she finished the grid! She has time! ;-)

11:40 pm

hi Pini, bbl

11:41 pm

You are so right pini.

11:41 pm

hi flosey

11:41 pm

Pini.

11:41 pm

yes?

11:42 pm

(jammie time)

11:42 pm

I think that that is the truth, Pini. I've found 2 sites on the web where people seem more like family than just chatters and gamers

11:43 pm

Oh, I had not given your name a cap P.

11:43 pm

giving up for today on this puzzle shall just wait for the next one - my shoulder is sore

11:43 pm

(but the other site is a small private nursing bulletin board; so we are connected by our work. Babble is unique that wya

11:45 pm

What did you do to your shoulder, Tanja?

11:45 pm

Has anyone heard from jilli or jcm today?

11:46 pm

I haven't been here much this past week, ga; so I haven't seen them

11:47 pm
