evening, barb

since you are such a history buff, jili, I saw a movie you might find interesting... "The Last Station"... Helen Mirren plays Lev Tolstoy's wife... about his last days and their relationship.

1:03 am

hi everyone, I'm not even going to start this one, too tired tonight and tomorrow will be a very busy day

1:04 am

hugs, and have fun

Hi flosey...happy canada day

1:04 am

1:04 am

hi flosey -- did you have a happy celebration?

aww, surprising.. you are so bright about historical people and events...figured you loved it!

1:05 am

yes, thanks jilli, had a pleasant trip over, had fun will William, now off to bed

1:05 am

I think it was the way it was taught, dee -- all dates and wars.

1:06 am

flosey -- see my hat! but you can't see the flowers...

aww totally agree with that

1:52 am

hi diz the whiz!

1:52 am

hi all

1:52 am

hi jilli, just put my head down and typed. lol

1:52 am

that's what I counted, m9 -- aren't you using Lickety's list?

1:53 am

not yet. I try very hard to get halfway...

1:53 am

don't forget that sr 4 word

1:54 am

Not using Expert either, m9?

1:54 am

ty diz

1:54 am

no. don't have that

1:55 am

too bad -- it's such a huge help and time-saver -- but now that DrGod is changing this site it won't be compatible.

1:56 am

Damn shame. I hope he includes the main features, or I won't enjoy this any more.

1:59 am

that's a lovely bonsai, m9!

1:59 am

oh yeah.. old theme. what's the theme now?

1:59 am

and thank you.

2:01 am

A word from the grid which will be a clue (remember, you can check my profile for the theme?)

2:07 am

I always forget!LOL

2:09 am

closing in on halfway!

2:09 am

me too

2:10 am

over halfway :)

2:11 am

I hit a wall

2:11 am

320 found & fried but B4 I go, what was that about changing the site Jilli?

2:12 am

Jilli?

2:13 am

DrG announced that he is making changes -- if you're on Facebook there's a group called Babble Community where he talks about it.

2:14 am

oh don't do the facebook thing

2:14 am

He's Babble Overlord there in case you didn't know.

2:14 am

have any clue what kind of changes dear?

2:15 am

There's also a twitter thing - www.twitter.com/BabbleOverlord which is easy to access.

2:15 am

an eject button for trolls would be nice!

2:15 am

well I just hit 200.. if I can do 5 more....

2:15 am

I dont twitter either

2:15 am

kthe bit he's shown is a rearrangement, and he says he will incorporate some of Lickety's Babble Expert features, but it won't be compatible with the present Expert, which alarms me!

2:16 am

hello Haz. I haven't joined twitter.

2:16 am

hmmm guess we'll have to wait & see ...

2:16 am

pugmama, he asked babblers for feedback, but he hasn't revealed what the new features will be.

2:16 am

any word when this is to take place?

2:17 am

jillibus, you don't need to join, just use the web address and you can see what he's posted. I think you only need to join if you want to comment or tweet or whatever you do.

2:17 am

I got one of the feedback letter but had other fish to fry so didnt bother

2:17 am

No id4 about dates.

2:18 am

oh well , will be a surprise I guess

2:18 am

thanks for the heads up though gals!

2:18 am

No problem, pugmama.

2:19 am

good morning everybody!

2:19 am

must bid you all a fond good night & happy babbling!

2:19 am

Hello, ruby. Bye pugmama.

2:19 am

Le Poof!

2:19 am

hi ruby

2:20 am

I just need 3 more to be halfway..

2:20 am

pug, if you go to that twitter link there's a link to the new part-diagram

2:20 am

hi ruby :)

2:20 am

ha ha .. just got the one in my no4/4

2:21 am

one more for halfway!

2:21 am

how is everybody? haz: that chat was a riot, the other day. I've pulled up the drawbridge!

2:22 am

Ah, but is that to keep you in or others out?

2:22 am

and I've added crocs to the moat!

2:22 am

over halfwaY!!

2:23 am

waiting for DH to go in to clean it again.....

2:23 am

this is the biggest grid I've seen to date (6 months)

2:23 am

ok. I need to poof. so ..... *poof*

2:23 am

lots of endings, though, ruby

2:24 am

I love grids like this!

2:24 am

It's big and yet the longest words are only 8, that's unusual, isn't it?

2:24 am

wtg m9, and g'night!

2:25 am

and the first 20 are easy!

2:27 am

Back in a bit, must get some coffee etc.

2:38 am

well, that's it, once through Lickety and 147 left -- bedtime! Goodnight all....*poof*

2:39 am

gd night, jilli!!!

2:39 am

Goodnight, jillibus.

3:18 am

I think I will do this in batches of 100 - first done

3:25 am

goodness. a big puzzle!

3:32 am

morning all, what a nice size!

3:33 am

very nice!

3:33 am

hey Ata *hug*

3:34 am

sooooo ti5!

3:35 am

life being hard on you?

3:35 am

hard on people around me, really. I'm just caught up in it

3:36 am

yeah I can imagine that is exhausting as well. Let me know if I can do anything... or if you wanna chat or vent.

3:37 am

I will :) I just need to wake up enough to think about things first :P

3:37 am

all in your own time, hun

3:38 am

wo4ies should be allowed!

3:39 am

we all are, aren't we

3:41 am

K dead. Now for some real babbling.

3:41 am

aid

3:42 am

we are! exactly!

3:42 am

Sorry folks....

3:43 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:44 am

haz! la glitterata! how is spangle?

3:44 am

hi Soodle, hello Haz

3:45 am

She's fine - we haven't risked giving those antibiotics again, she was so sick. But fine again and has just had a bath. I'm in a lather as well.

3:45 am

poor girl! awww she must be lovely and sleek now. you too, probably

3:46 am

Hi Haz, Ata, Sprite. This is a biggun, as the actress said...............

3:46 am

Hello sprite, Soodle Ata and silent observers.

3:46 am

yes, just what the doctor ordered

3:46 am

She's due another trim at the end of the month, this was just to keep her fresh and smelling respectable.

3:47 am

I can't imagine SPangle ever looking unrespectable!

3:48 am

She's looking a bit bedraggled now until she dr5. Why does having a bath seem to get them all fidgety and wanting to run outside?

3:48 am

lol oh yes. They prance a lot

3:49 am

It's even more amazing that they can contain them at the grooming place. Maybe they have a prancing room that they don't show to the humans.

3:49 am

Cos they want to roll in the nearest muck. Buster is a menace after a bath.

3:50 am

that would make sense, I think they would need one

3:50 am

we take away their wonderful smells and are surprised they run to replace them

3:50 am

Hmmmm. Imagine the goings on in a prancing room for humans............

3:51 am

FM could do her rhythmical movement to musicin her Greek tunic.

3:52 am

music in..

3:52 am

with er4

3:53 am

er4 has been in a load of grids lately. He's saying hi to her.

3:57 am

Ata, have you looked on FB to see what changes are afoot with babble? I've seen a bit on twitter but are there any more details?

3:57 am

oooo yes, drG has been putting screenshots up over the last few days

3:58 am

I've seen a couple - the new header and the new layout of the grid etc, but still intrigued about the new features.

3:58 am

that's all he's really shown. and a secret new feature box under the grid

3:58 am

is he fixing the stupid cursor placing for chatting?

3:58 am

fingers crossed for a more updated dictionary......

3:58 am

Yes, its the secret new feature box that intrigues.

3:59 am

Hello, Dachef. But what will people complain about if we can't slate enable?

3:59 am

am very sad, he's making it ipad compatible but not ipod compatible

3:59 am

not really, Dachef, that would mean loads of wo5 that are valid now, wouldn't be anymore.

4:00 am

But would it not be awfully small in i-pod? I'd need to wear glasses just to see the grid.

4:01 am

this version of enable is now 10 years out of date. Its been updated 3 times since then. I vote for the SOWPODS dictionary, which is the official Scrabble one.

4:01 am

but the grid would fill the screen I would think, and you'd touch the letters. the chat log takes up half the screen really!

4:01 am

So i-podders would miss out on chat?

4:02 am

well, on the ipod at the moment, you can use babble through safari, but it's hard to chat and grid, you have to really do one or the other

4:02 am

just because of the small screen size

4:03 am

That makes sense.

4:03 am

guess not then

4:03 am

You'd probably not want to tackle a huge grid on i-pod anyway, but it would be useful if you're in transit, I suppose.

4:04 am

oh yes, exactly. just nice to do the grids

4:05 am

could somebody please forward me the invitation to make suggestions?

4:06 am

Yes, I can do that -I take it you didn't get the original one?

4:06 am

nope I didn't, thankyou Haz

4:08 am

I've sent it to your binthere address.

4:08 am

thank you

4:08 am

You're welcome.

4:09 am

For a moment I thought I'd found tonsorial, but not enough o letters. My father always talked about visiting his tonsorial artist (the barber)

4:09 am

Hello everyone. Invitation? is that what people were talking about - a few 'old' Babblers saying they had gotten an email. I didn't receive one either.

4:10 am

Hello, lynxxx. Yes, it seems to have been a bit hit and miss with people not receiving it.

4:12 am

nor me

4:12 am

Dr_G said that if you haven't got the 'email updates' box checked in My Account you wouldnot have received the email from him. Morning evening all.

4:12 am

Hello Ata!

4:13 am

Dear me. I'm either one of the select few or else the great and the good have been deliberately snubbed and I'm one of the hoi-polloi instead.

4:13 am

hi lyn! hi stew!

4:13 am

hi lyn :)

4:13 am

Hello, FM!

4:13 am

FM!!

4:13 am

I have the update box checked, FM. Always have. And hi.

4:13 am

Do you want me to post the text of the e-mail here?

4:14 am

Hi alll, only here for 5 mins, have a lot of work on today.

4:14 am

also the possibility the spam filter ate the email. I can see all my mail on the server so it shouldn't happen, but life being life, it might have anyway.

4:15 am

Fellow Pro Babbler- I realized this morning that I've been neglecting Babble lately,and I'm thinking it's time I gussied the site up a bit. So I'masking for your feedback. I welcome any and all feedback. Let yourbrain juices flow! A few sample questions/topics: What do you like the most about Babble?What do you dislike the most about Babble?What feature(s) would you like to see added to Babble?How could the Babble community be strengthened? Your feedback can be nit-picky or can include pie-in-the-sky dreams.It's all good to me. Thanks and Happy Babbling! - Dr_GodBabble Overlord http://www.playbabble.com/ P.S. If you don't want me to email you with occasional Babble updateslike this, just reply to this email and let me know.

4:15 am

*hugs FM coolly to compensate for hot day*

4:15 am

You're a lucky girl, FM, er4/4 has shown up again.

4:15 am

And I hope you appreciated the tenrec making an appearance yesterday?

4:16 am

Awe I missed the tenrec as I didn't babble yesterday either.

4:16 am

Hello FM!

4:16 am

Hi lynxxx!

4:16 am

What a shame! All the way from Madagascar and no FM to say hello to.

4:17 am

poor little tenrec

4:17 am

Lonely little guy.

4:17 am

lol

4:18 am

How is your sister Ata?

4:18 am

So many new babblers just thought that it was a strange word. Little fellow must have felt so unappreciated.

4:18 am

your er4 is a frequent visitor lately, FM :)

4:18 am

Guess I had better get on before I get sucked into the chat. Hope to see you guys later.

4:18 am

bye FM

4:19 am

bye FM

4:19 am

Toodle-oo FM.

Hi all. Wow, a mammoth one today!

4:20 am

Hello, Sally. We are happy babblers.

4:20 am

morning Sally

mmm, going out to lunch so must get head down furiously before I go.

4:21 am

hi Sally :)

Like your icon sprite!

4:21 am

thanks!

gosh, so many w****, where do I start?

4:23 am

Cue Julie Andrews singing 'Let's start at the very beginning'

4:23 am

there, email sent. Let's hope this one won't set the man off.

4:24 am

a very good place to start

lol haz. OK, I'll start with the A then, nanny.

4:24 am

you should start with the do, hun

4:25 am

awww there's Goran Ivanosevic at WImbledon. how lovely!

4:25 am

It's funny, kje calls me mum because of my mothering tendencies (don't drink before you go to bed or you'll be up through the night) and now I'm Sally's nanny!

4:25 am

looks like you do have a noticeable nurturing streak, Haz

4:25 am

fireworks, unaided

4:26 am

gratz

4:26 am

but of course Grem! Congrats!

4:26 am

McEnroe has stated that he'll do a post-match interview standing on his head if Serena Williams doesn't win the Ladies Singles. Needless to say, I'm hoping the other lady wins if only to see that.

congrats gremlinn

4:26 am

It's either nurturing, sprite, or bossiness!

4:26 am

or you manage to walk the very thin line between them

4:27 am

I try.

4:29 am

well if Venus can go out, sereena can!

4:29 am

We live in hope.

4:30 am

Morning all. Wow, what a beast of a grid, talk about sublime to ridiculous. I've tried looking in Facebook for Babble Community to no avail(in order to quell the panic about DrGod's plans) Any advice?

4:30 am

hi liz

4:30 am

Hello, lizmac. The FB people will be able to bring you up to date on where to look.

4:30 am

morning Liz

Liz, I had an invitation from another member.

Try this, don't know if it will work: <http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/g roup.php?gid=106468556072681>

4:34 am

Well, if it doesn't answer my anxieties it'll certainly improve my typing, thanks. Breakfast time, so I'll try it in a while.

4:35 am

bye liz, enjoy breakfast

liz, is your email on your profile the one you use on FB? If so, I will look for you and send you an invitation.

4:36 am

there is currently great angst that it won't be compatible with lickety. but it looks like he's including a lot of lickety's features

PS, you don't need to type out that link, just copy and paste it.

4:36 am

Babble Overlord It will not, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to incorporate as much of Lickety's features into the new site. And I'm sure Lickety' is getting tired of doing all that work every day anyway. I know I would be. ;)

4:39 am

It's achieving the balance between babble the game that he founded and was loved for what it was for quite a while and babble the game that has evolved thanks to outside forces, for want of a better term.

4:39 am

This may sound daft, but is Dr God aka Babble Overlord?

4:39 am

yes, soodle

4:39 am

Dr God is the Babble Overlord, yes.

4:39 am

and also with him having to earn money!

4:40 am

True.

4:40 am

Well, you learn something new every day. And is Lickety just a benevolent ordinary player?

4:41 am

let's hope any changes do not make it too simple

4:42 am

Lickety is benevolent though not a player - however his wife MrPresident is

4:42 am

yes he is, Soodle

4:43 am

What a nice guy. Without Lickety, I would have thrown my hat at Babble long ago.

4:43 am

I know what you mean, lynxxx, it still needs to retain a bit of difficulty.

4:43 am

the only thing that disturbs me is that above the tile stats in the new version is something saying "click tiles for clues"

4:43 am

Mind you, people are inventing all sorts of ways to make things difficult for themselves. I foresee upside down and blindfolded nbt soon.

4:44 am

it would be nice if we could hide the tile stats, Ata?

4:44 am

Ooooh, hadn't noticed that. Maybe he'll hire babblers to sit and do nothing but give clues.

4:44 am

blindfolded nbt took me 6 hours.

4:44 am

but maybe the clues will be like lickety's?

Morning all

4:44 am

good morning all

4:45 am

Your next challenge is blindfold and upside down.

4:45 am

that long dachef...I did it in 10 mins!

4:45 am

Good morning, Kallia, julie.

4:45 am

I really hope DrG has contacted Lickety. It would be the least courtesy he could do.

4:45 am

hi Kallia and gary

4:46 am

I'm sure he's been in touch, sprite, I know he cooperated when Lickety was developing his programme.

manic morning so been sat here last hour calmly playing to calm down has worked wonders

4:46 am

Im currently babbling with a completely blank keyboard - no letters on it at all. Its supposed to improve touchttyping skills, but I dont think I have the patience.

4:46 am

Lickety told be back then he didn't get any answers from drG, Haz. But my info might be outdated.

4:47 am

You need to focus, Dachef, regroup and use all the skills embedded in you as a stakeholder. Sorry, I've just been reading a council publication.

4:47 am

lol Dachef, can't you build it up step by step? learning touchtype should go finger by finger and row by row.

keep at it dachef it will become easier

I learnt as a child but sometimes am to tired and type gibberish

4:48 am

the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog....

4:48 am

This council publication was full of daft government speak jargon about stakeholder and synergy, but their rendition of 'gorder regions?' BOARDER.

4:48 am

when I am really tired, I tend to mix numerals into my text. Almost looks like msn lingo then.

4:49 am

'border

4:49 am

yup - regions where you board.

4:49 am

Or regions where boards come from.

cool sprite lol my left side bit weaker so sometimes it doesn't hit the right keys

4:50 am

Or the region completely occupied by boarding schools?

4:50 am

we'd make a great typed conversation then, gary ;)

4:50 am

Or regions occupied by boarding kennels?

4:50 am

Perhaps I've misjudged them.

4:50 am

brb

4:51 am

I'd best go make the pasties BBL

LOL home phone just rang, got up and realise had rang it by sitting on mobile phone lol

4:52 am

my beautiful kitty is having an op right now :(

4:52 am

lol gary... my doorbell rang and it was my neighbour with the baby phone... can i secretly wish for Pieter to wake up?

4:52 am

What triumph of veterinary surgery is being performed?

4:52 am

aw kallia, that is stressy

you ok kallia?

4:53 am

*retracts wish... baby has it bad with the heat, he should sleep as long as he can*

4:53 am

she had treatment for mouth ulcers , but yesterday it looks like narcosis has set in...it may be soft tissue carcinoma

4:54 am

they are cutting off the bad bit and we will see from there

4:54 am

Oh, I was thinking it was something simple - that's not so good.

4:54 am

oh am so sorry :( That is worrisome.

4:54 am

Hopefully it won't be worst case scenario.

4:54 am

not really ok Gary...

4:54 am

What age is she, Kallia?

4:55 am

she's 8

its as bad as when children have ops etc when our beloved pets do

4:55 am

So, not old. Has she been in good form up until the ulcers?

4:55 am

it is

4:55 am

I'm waiting for a call from the vet

4:56 am

yes very fit and healthy

4:56 am

it seemed to happen almost overnight

4:56 am

poor kitty :(:(

4:56 am

Hopefully that will stand her in good stead.

my youngest 7 had MRI in may was distressing enough as they had to put him under for it

hope you get call soon and he is fine

4:57 am

it was pitiful to see her, bleeding ulcers, she couldn't clean herslef, well she tried but she covered herself in blood

4:57 am

could they help him/her, gary?

4:57 am

ty all

4:57 am

aw Kallia, so sad

he had a scan to try and confirm deny cereebral palsy, he has really mild form of it

4:58 am

Poor thing, horrible for both of you. Kallia, I do understand your anxiety, let's hope for good news.

4:58 am

ty Haz

doesnt stop him doing much and brightest kid in his class so no worried

worries even

4:59 am

am glad, gary.

4:59 am

Fingers crossed for kitty and you, Kallia

4:59 am

ty Sprite, cant concentrate on anything right now

5:00 am

gary glad your son is doing so well,

he needs leg splints and tongue and hand muscles to loose but he copes wonderfully a fighter like me

5:00 am

I can imagine, Kallia. I do believe that your keeping your cat in your thoughts and heart will help, though. So maybe the not being able to focus on anything else is actually a good thing.

5:01 am

being a fighter is what counts

pure stubborness runs in our family, helps a lot

Back later

5:01 am

he has a good example, gary.

5:01 am

bfn, Sally

5:01 am

See you later, Sally.

5:01 am

off to make coffee back later

take care sally

mmmmm coffee

5:02 am

See you later, Kallia.

5:02 am

no hope of finishing this one!

hope you get call soon kallia

5:02 am

first half is fast, Kallia

5:02 am

Hello, herin.

5:02 am

hey lady *hugs*

morning herin

hugs

5:03 am

but maybe the chat is more helpful than the grid today ;)

5:03 am

ooo at half way!

wtg atlante

Waves back.

5:04 am

gratz Ata

5:04 am

Yes, but blindfold or upside down half-way?

5:04 am

back to front

5:04 am

I did the second half first

5:04 am

inside out

5:04 am

With mirrors or without?

Bah. I just had an advert on tv for a vet show. They said that the snake hadn't eaten in three months and then they said until now when she struck out at the vet. Morons the snake was fear striking not trying to eat the guy

5:09 am

The infamous robotic ending is here. Watch out for its infamous activites.

5:10 am

ah thanks Haz, I had dismissed it as a phantom ending. But you are right, it can be made the other way around.

5:11 am

You're welcome.

5:12 am

people can be so stupid about animals, lady :(

I think that the vet had a reason to check the snake it was the person that wrote the piece for the voice over was a bit stupid

got to go do some housework, be back to attempt last 186 later tonight

have a great day all and happy hunting here

5:15 am

bye gary, have a good day

Bye GJ

5:21 am

the evil politician from my country is in the grid :(

Sprite how you ?

5:24 am

not bad, lady. Into a very intensive process therapy wise, but it is rewarding. New doors or windows opening. Still very enthusiastic about the TTouch. And you?

tired. I was sleeping until LUcius climbed on me

5:25 am

are you resting up a bit? Getting new energy for next year?

I am. Stupid cat decided that he was hungry and leapt on my chest to wake me up

5:27 am

hehehe a great communicator

He is a rat bag. I swear Pandora put him up to it

5:29 am

I can see the picture. Both of them conspiring to make you into their slave

damn straight. he jumps on me and she is always in the back ground with this smirk on her face

5:30 am

lol!

It is true. He is so light and cute you can't tell him off

5:31 am

I had a cat just like him, lady. Even looked the same. Devious. But incredibly loveable

awww. How is your Tera?

I am watching Being Human. Rather distrubing

5:36 am

terra is good but does not like this intense heat. Heat in the netherlands is always humid and thunderstormy. So having a permanent fur coat on isn't pleasant.

Can you clip him?

5:39 am

not without ruining his coat, I think

mmm

5:40 am

we removed all the old hair though, so his coat is thin and ready for summer. I think it is just that it went from rather cold to very hot at once. Not just the dogs have trouble coping, the people as well.

Feed him froozen peas

5:41 am

I make him wet in the afternoon, he loves that. Cools down a lot. And he gets ice cubes after every walk. He loves them.

Yep

5:44 am

wow greying out the Os isn't coming easy today

I am just stuffing about

5:47 am

am almost done, now greying out tile by tile. Retyping a lot of wo5 too and some take... must have mistyped them earlier.

Go Sprite. Watching this is creepy

5:48 am

humans are the creepiest animals in the world

Being Human is great

5:50 am

hm I am a phantom today

These W and R words go on and on

5:52 am

they really do

5:52 am

finally greyed the w

good morning babblers :)

5:52 am

I need 2 more W words, a few Ss and 3 Ts. nothing over 6 letters long anymore. Come on monkeys...

5:52 am

hey Chris!

5:52 am

now for those pesky r's and p's

5:52 am

and hi nanette :)

Hi Chris

5:53 am

hey sprite & herin. do you have the 2 x w8 sprite?

hi Chirs

5:53 am

5:56 am

Congrats Sprite!

Hi NB

6:00 am

morning, all :) ((sprite)) oh yes, I know how to make an entrance ;)

6:00 am

you do, and we like it.

6:01 am

ok must be off, hoping to do a little bit of canoeing with my love before the darn football game starts. Why can't people treat football the way they do swimming or tennis or atlethics, grrrrr.

6:02 am

Not sure if I'll get far with this grid though - so tired today! Think I'll just pick at it.

6:02 am

bye all *hugs* for those who want them. Thanks for the help and the fun!

6:02 am

bye sprite

6:02 am

Oh, take care Sprite :) and have fun canoeing; sounds great!

I have to go out in the morning :(

6:02 am

bye Sprite - have a lovely day

bye sprite

Bye Sprite

6:16 am

Best wishes

bye bye NB

Thanks for that. Since I don't use one I didn't have it

lol herin...I just finished the chore so I'd have something to wear to work this morning. And speaking of, I need to get a move on. Take care all.

I think my porblem with it is that I absolutely hate to press clothes!

6:44 am

hello everyone

HI Anne

the ir5/18 must use one of the two 5 point tiles

6:45 am

Take care Nonnie .... I wish I could get away with not have to press clothes but I hate to look as though I have slept in my clothes and they always seem to have that look when I get them out of the tumble dryer ... hi Annie

hi Annie

6:45 am

hello natalie

6:45 am

hi norma, nono

6:46 am

can I have a clue for the first le 6/21?

6:46 am

Yes Nan but I cant figure out which one none of the words I can make seem to fit the bill

6:46 am

Hi Annie

the only one i have Annie is a past tense of resting against something

Hello back

6:47 am

That is the only one I have also Nan

6:48 am

6:50 am

Annie that is brill.... what does it mean ?? lol

7:03 am

good morning everyone

7:05 am

Good morning Mom

Morning (((Mom)))

7:06 am

good morning Norma

7:06 am

{{Nono}} good morning

7:06 am

**sigh** only 290 left :-)

7:07 am

lol

7:08 am

hi Norma, hi Mom

7:08 am

I am anxious to play the "new" babble when Dr. God gets it up and running.

7:08 am

{{Lynxxx}} hello

7:08 am

Hi lynxx

7:08 am

What is the New Babble ????

I wasn't aware that he was working on a "new" babble

7:09 am

Hi ((Mom)) is there a new Babble?

7:09 am

hi lynxxxxie

7:09 am

Here is a link where you can see yesterday's teaser ... http://twitter.com/babbleoverlord and click on the twitpic link

7:09 am

How can you improve on "Perfection" ???

7:10 am

it will still be "babble" as we know it, just tweaking it and changing the layout some what

7:10 am

for those who have facebook, under the search, type in Babble Community and you can see it there as well.

7:11 am

I dont have facebook or twitter..can I still see it from your link, Mom?

7:11 am

you sure can Annie

7:11 am

I don't have twitter either

7:11 am

babble is perfect, norma is right..waaaah

7:12 am

so far he has moved the state and tiles to the right instead of underneath the grid. and there will still be the chat log

7:12 am

Hello all. I thought the "new" Babble would be revealed today.

there are words in the list with letters that arn't even in that grid pictured?

7:12 am

stat*

morning Scrabs

7:13 am

Hi Scrabbler

7:13 am

hi scrabbs

7:13 am

I woke up at 1:10 this morning thinking it would be as well. But alas, no, just 410 word total staring me in the face

7:13 am

Does anyone know if Babble Expert will be affected?

7:13 am

Nono, those were just examples

gosh i hope not Annie!

7:14 am

Annie, sit down ,,,, it will not be compatible with Lickety

7:14 am

I think that Dr God will be eliminating the connection to Expert.

7:14 am

Now I am sobbing openly

7:14 am

but he is going to try and incorporate as much from Lickety as he can

7:15 am

but if you saw the teaser on twitter above the stats it said to click on a tile for a clue

7:15 am

(ANNIE)--we will adjust + help one another.

7:16 am

I had better set out the Puffs

7:16 am

Dr_God is going to clue us? Hicup, hicup

7:17 am

someone also mentioned under the grid on the teaser there is a button to the right and they asked if it was a rotate button but he didn't answer that question

7:18 am

I think it might offer the first two letters as lickety does, just a guess

I don't like that clue idea

7:19 am

if that is the case, we wouldn't have to use it. you will have to click the tile to get a clue

7:19 am

{{herin}} hello

7:19 am

I hope there will still be the list

hehehe Hello. I am watching naughty pointless movie

7:20 am

I love Babble just the way it is..why change it?

7:20 am

he was hoping to have it up and running by day's end yesterday

7:20 am

Mom, are you saying that Lickety will not be involved at all?

7:21 am

I can't cope without lickety ....

7:21 am

recently he said he sent out an email to babbler's asking for input. Although Dr. God, if you are listening, I didn't get an email

7:21 am

Lickety program is brilliant.

7:21 am

let me get his exact wording Annie, be right back

7:21 am

I am with you Annie .... don't fix it if it isn't broke

7:21 am

Change is good - we were all horrfied by the last batch of changes he did to the grid but we got used to it quickly

7:21 am

I didnt get an email either

7:21 am

Lickety's

Yah to pointless movies

7:22 am

me neither Annie

7:22 am

neither did i

7:23 am

Jill Evans asked him: Jill Evans I hope the new site will still be compatible with Lickety's Babble Expert!

7:23 am

I got an e-mail from Dr God asking for input.

7:23 am

he replied: Babble Overlord It will not, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to incorporate as much of Lickety's features into the new site. And I'm sure Lickety' is getting tired of doing all that work every day anyway. I know I would be. ;)

7:24 am

Does that mean we will have the clues as they are on Lickety's now .... "hopfully"

7:24 am

Lickety is wonderful to be doing all the work and I appreciate him very much but I will still miss him.

If Babble Expert won't be compatible, I may have to consider giving up on the game

7:24 am

I can't see why it would be incompatible. Lickety program is just running the letters through a program, all automatic anyway

7:24 am

hello everybody! I hope the changes arent't overwhelming! This is very hard for me as it is!

7:24 am

he also said: It's been several years since I've done anything to it. Need to keep it fresh and exciting. And I need to try and get it to make money, so it can stay afloat. ;)

7:24 am

Especially if there's a 300+word grid

7:25 am

'just' - perhaps the wrong word to use

Tricky word up there.

Thank you. And here's to all who may have benefited from my sacrifice.

7:51 am

River, thank you. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers

7:51 am

could your daughter send a e-mail to me and I'll tell everybody else in here?

7:52 am

good idea ruby

9:32 am

you're welcome Nono

9:32 am

Hi Judi

9:32 am

<< would rather have lovin elsewhere and not with cookies.

9:32 am

Oatmeal raisin??? I think that violates the chocolate only rule.

9:32 am

Oh Crossy, come out come out where ever you are, the cookies are baked.

9:33 am

chocolate only??? Since when??? :-)

we can dribble some choc. syrup on them Judi

9:33 am

9:34 am

I enjoyed the chocolate and the oatmeal cookies.

9:35 am

6 left. all o's. grrrr.

9:35 am

10:40 am

Every now and then my daughter will turn up with a jigsaw that she thinks will stump me - but I persevere

My mum is holding onto a jigsaw for me that I gave her a double of. I had one and lost all the pieces with moving and such

I never watch him he always does rubbish when I watch

11:40 am

hey, haz :-)

11:41 am

our stupid TV stations aren't broadcasting it so I'm listening to Wimbledon Radio

11:41 am

Hello, Une. Would I be right in the far out assumption that you're backing Rafa?

11:41 am

ALWAYS!! :-)

11:41 am

if the final ends up being between Rafa and Berdych, what a match that'll be!

11:42 am

I remember listening to the Jimmy Connors v Arthur Ashe final on the radio - we were in Scotland, driving through beautiful scenery.

7 left this is yah

11:42 am

Berdych is ON FIRE

11:42 am

I wouldn't sit in the front row, that's for sure. Those balls could go anywhere.

11:42 am

how cool, haz!

11:42 am

I've seen the linespeople diving to avoid getting beaned! LOL

11:43 am

It's funny, just when you mention listening on the radio, that memory sprang to mind. I can even picture the scenery!

11:43 am

:-D

11:44 am

my memory of riding thru Scotland: hitched a ride with a trucker who stopped a moment to pick some heather for me and my friend:-)

11:44 am

How nice of him!

11:44 am

(only 40 yrs ago LOL)

11:45 am

11:51 am

She's lovely, Aloy. We'll excuse you for changing from the sun for her.

11:51 am

11:52 am

Good for you - but she looks like a little ray of sunshine anyway.

My b.fs parents married in a kaftan and powder blue velour suit

they were not hippies (cough sure sure)

11:53 am

11:54 am

She is an absolute sweetie Aloy and Greetings all. Work is finished for the day!

12:35 pm

happy weeding, Dorens!

12:36 pm

Yep, I di see what you mean. I guess i need a new dictionary.

12:36 pm

Pini dear, do you have any contact with OSU in your job?

12:37 pm

Not really, Ata; however, the wife of one of my professors works in their foundation office...

12:37 pm

I'd hoped to watch the beautiful Rafa do his thing, but bed calls. 1.37am here.G'night all. xx

12:38 pm

my daughter is paid by OSU; they rec'd the grant

12:38 pm

sleep well, dofith

12:38 pm

they are impossible! I've been trying to have a decent conversation with their Marine Management department, and I can't get replies from any email, can't find any useful names etc etc. Bah.

12:38 pm

does she work there or attend school?

12:38 pm

she is in AZ, Pini; she is paid by them

12:39 pm

I wonder if the UOs Zebra Fish lab would be able to direct you to anyone specific?

12:39 pm

gotcha, aloy

I am resting after doing some yard work. Laundry is in. Sister #1 is driving down to visit.

2:21 pm

bye, annie!

2:21 pm

Bye, Annie

2:22 pm

Jes, I have a professional question for you, if you don't mind...

2:22 pm

sure

2:23 pm

I'm starting to look for a dog, and know I want a mutt...

2:23 pm

get a lab mix :)

2:23 pm

haha! that's hilarious. i actually answered the question you were asking!

2:24 pm

really though; what's your living situation? apartment? big house? fenced yard? other animals? how much time will you be able to spend with the dog?

2:24 pm

but I'd like a smaller dog than Molly was (pit bull mix), with a sweet temperament...

2:24 pm

any clue for the ir5/18 and ir6/30...last ones I need?

2:24 pm

interested in doing anything social/competitive (agility, etc)

2:25 pm

Have a house, fenced yard, doggie space in the basement...want him/her to be mostly inside though, crate trainable...

2:26 pm

Social would be good

2:26 pm

do you prefer short or long hair?

2:26 pm

Short hair

2:26 pm

do you prefer short or long hair?

2:27 pm

Although the right dog could bend my heart to accept longer hair...

2:27 pm

ir + yono *** was john lennon's wife and pl

2:27 pm

what kind of time and energy are you looking to spend?

2:28 pm

Ouwachita - a type of wood - ir + word for fine and then vowel plus plural

2:28 pm

thanks wildcat...got them both

2:28 pm

Not sure...it depends on Tim's health...but I would have time

2:28 pm

yw

2:28 pm

and congrats

2:29 pm

need a clue before i leave?

2:29 pm

Congrats, Ouwachita!

2:29 pm

well, most of the terriers would fit in size-wise, and would definitely have energy for going on jogs with you or doing agility, that sort of thing.

2:30 pm

schnauzer might be a bit lower energy than something like a rat terrier for being indoor most of the time.

2:30 pm

I like terriers...are Jack Russells too hyper?

2:30 pm

boston terrier or pug would be a good choice, i think, if you can handle the snoring.

2:30 pm

or a frenchie

2:31 pm

Snoring...would join the club, lol!

2:31 pm

jacks tend to be pretty energetic; i like them, but they're the type of dog that would do really well if you take him to run marathons with you :)

2:31 pm

One cat snores, too...

2:32 pm

Err...nice walks?

2:32 pm

pomeranians and pekingese tend to have good personalities, but would require more grooming

2:32 pm

pug or boston or frenchie i'm thinking though.

2:33 pm

and you might look at taking home one that's about 2 years old instead of a puppy, that cuts down on the energy demand (and saves some of your furniture!)

2:33 pm

Thanks, I'll start looking in that direction...

2:33 pm

Can you crate train at that age?

2:33 pm

warning though; it's often difficult to find small dogs in rescue, they tend to not come in often and go fast

2:33 pm

you can crate train anything

2:34 pm

as long as you go about it right :)

2:34 pm

Cool...didn't train Molly...

2:34 pm

just don't expect to toss them in a kennel first off and have them like it. build up slowly.

2:35 pm

kennel should be their happy place, so never use it as a punishment. start with an open kennel, no door. put the dog bed and all the toys in the kennel so the dog can go in and out whenever he wants.

2:35 pm

kennel should be their happy place, so never use it as a punishment. start with an open kennel, no door. put the dog bed and all the toys in the kennel so the dog can go in and out whenever he wants.

2:35 pm

feed him in the kennel, that often helps.

2:36 pm

Food = happy. Got it!

2:36 pm

once he's going readily in and out for breakfast and dinner, put the door back on the kennel, and when he goes in for breakfast, close the door.

2:36 pm

Toys = happy

2:36 pm

as SOON as he stops eating, before he notices that he's stuck, open the door.

2:37 pm

do that for a couple days, so there's no stress about the door closing behind him.

2:37 pm

then start delaying opening the door a few minutes.

2:38 pm

if he whines or barks, do NOT open the door. dogs are really weird, and the first time you open the door when he whines, he will learn that whining opens the door, even if you've opened it while he's quiet 5 dozen times before.

2:38 pm

stand quietly out of sight until he pauses to take a breath; the instant he shuts up, open the door.

2:39 pm

one of the best methods of house breaking a dog is to have leir lead tied to your belt. They will follow you around and if they make a motion to squat in the house, you have them there to pick up and take outside

2:39 pm

gradually extend the amount of time the door is closed until he just is quiet in the kennel and waits for you to let him out.

I had one Dog love the Crate, but Teulu coudl not stand it after he had a miserable diarrhea episode once when I was at work...it sprayed out of the crate and all over the walls. Luckily he doen't need it now.

2:40 pm

especially at first, always have something good in the kennel, every time you put them in.

2:40 pm

a meal, or a treat or toy that they only ever get in the kennel

2:40 pm

then pick that treat up when you let them out, and they don't get it back until the next time they're kenneled

2:40 pm

v

but I still support Crate training!

2:41 pm

Wow, I'm learning lots! Such wisdom babblers have!

2:41 pm

my hound dog will open the crate door and let herself in now; and i didn't start kenneling her until she was over a year old. and she'd had the lovely experience of being at the humane society in the very loud and crowded kennels there for about a month before i took her home.

2:43 pm

I may break down and get a bigger dog, but I couldn't lift Molly easily, either for baths or transport....

de 7 please

2:43 pm

teaching the dog that the kennel is a happy place can come in REALLY handy later--not just for kenneling while you're out of the house for several hours, but if you have to travel, they're less likely to get upset if they have their "den" along with them in the hotel room or at a strange house, and many boarding facilities will let you put it in the run with them if you ever have to board him.

2:43 pm

get off the aircraft

I vote for the Boston or French as well....

2:43 pm

get off a jet scient

ty

2:43 pm

New puppy being delivered Sunday - am enjoying all the training info!

2:44 pm

Hi, hurshy

2:44 pm

hi

2:44 pm

tangentially, a really good thing to do with any dog is to get an emery board/nail file, and play with their toes every night. pick a time when the dog is sleepy and happy, and make it quiet low-stress.

2:44 pm

Makes me want to get on petfinder.com right now!

Or you could just go over to the humane socienty.

2:45 pm

hold the foot (do not let go if the dog pulls back, that teaches them to pull away) and reward calm behavior (not fussing or crying) with treats or petting (sometimes helps to have someone else with treats)

2:45 pm

Oh, that's good...wish I'd done that with the cats...

jes, that is a very very good idea.

2:46 pm

when they will let you hold the feet calmly, start filing the nails. you don't have to worry about pinching or cutting too close if the dog fusses, and if he gets his nose down or licks at it, he won't cut himself.

2:46 pm

and it makes things MUCH easier when you do have to trim the nails.

2:46 pm

same with their mouths .. you have to be able to take their food away without having them growl or bite

2:46 pm

red, I'm at the hospital in Springfield, MO...

It has taken the entire 4 years of teulus life now to have him let me train teulu to let me do the nails...

How is TIm hanging in there jellen?

2:47 pm

I take Bisky to the groomer every two months and they do his nails. The sidewalk does the rest

2:47 pm

He's doing pretty well...not in pain, which makes a big difference!

2:47 pm

obedience classes are great--as much for the socialization skills and learning to focus on you when other stuff is going on as because you need someone to teach you how to teach a dog to sit!

2:47 pm

Read my profile for more info...

that is excellent. Jellen, that the pain is under control..

2:48 pm

who wants to talk about 8s?

2:48 pm

i have: os8, re8, st8, wi8

well, hursh, I have None of the 8's, soooo...

2:48 pm

That's one this we accomplished with Mollly...sitting...although sometimes it looked like her behind was spring-loaded...

2:49 pm

I only have os8

2:49 pm

wi8?

2:49 pm

dr8 hursh

2:49 pm

dr8 is more of the dr5

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

ty wildcat and jes

2:50 pm

re8?

2:51 pm

people who answer

2:51 pm

also we8 hursh

2:52 pm

clue?

2:52 pm

strange ones

2:52 pm

ooh, thanks

2:52 pm

yw

2:53 pm

only one 8 missing now...

2:53 pm

lessee. other things about little dogs. oh! teeth! assume that you will need to have them in to have a full dental cleaning annually. the farther away they are from looking like a coyote, the worse dental problems we expect.

2:54 pm

brushing at home helps, too--your vet should have low-fluoride, flavored toothpastes to use.

2:54 pm

Dental cleaning...check!

2:55 pm

me 2 hursh let me know when you find it

2:55 pm

no 7.28??

2:55 pm

back

2:55 pm

many rescues will already have microchipped the dog before adopting it out, but if they don't, i recommend it.

2:55 pm

jes...how much does a full dental cleaning cost in your neck of the woods?

2:55 pm

let us not have any ceremonies, sammysmom... ** *****

2:55 pm

if she ever winds up at a shelter or lost, it really increases your chances of getting her back

2:56 pm

way WAY less than it should, pini. runs about $160 with pre-anesthetic blood.

2:56 pm

thanks hurshy

2:56 pm

OK (better than what the vet I talked to wants)

2:57 pm

if you go down to Spokane (about 50 miles away) it runs $350-500. and I've seen folks from Seattle bring in records/bllls quoting $500-$700 (those usually include dental x-rays, which we don't have the equipment to do here)

2:57 pm

more if they need any extractions or anything

2:58 pm

I was quoted a base of 400-600 + everything else :(

last or 6/7 combo please

2:58 pm

there's more than one or6/7 combo? sigh. i have one, it sounds like a brand of frozen potatoes, if that helps.

2:58 pm

it varies pretty dramatically between clinics and areas.

no that is not the last ones

2:59 pm

* sigh * I guess so...

2:59 pm

ooh, i found them

2:59 pm

you just change the middle e to an o

uses the robot ending!

3:00 pm

is there anything a dog can chew on and serve double duty? (i.e., serving as a toy and dental tool like rope or something?)

3:00 pm

we scrape by with really low bills on a lot of things here, because we're pretty small and don't have a lot of outgoing money--which has disadvantages; we'll have to raise prices on a bunch of stuff if we want to upgrade our x-ray machine or buy a new probe for the ultrasound, for instance.

3:01 pm

there are lots of dental chews out there. avoid the nylabones, though; they are so hard that some dogs can fracture teeth on them.

3:01 pm

btw: how's Rascal doing?

3:01 pm

you can find enzyme-infused rawhides, that kind of thing. none of it really replaces brushing though, any more than eating carrots replaces brushing for you :P

3:01 pm

* note: no nylabones *

3:01 pm

speaking of, carrot sticks and canned green beans make good, low-fat treats.

3:02 pm

I thought rawhide wasn't good for dogs?

3:02 pm

last i heard, rascal's doing great, but it's been a while since i heard from his new home.

3:02 pm

good to know!

3:02 pm

Koda LOVES baby carrots

3:02 pm

eh. if they swallow the whole rawhide they can choke on it. but if they chew on it, it's fine. just make sure it's an appropriate size for the dog (no knots just the right size to swallow at a gulp!)

3:03 pm

op

3:04 pm

so get something the size of his ears? larger? smaller?

3:04 pm

mine don't get rawhides much, because my hound thinks all rawhides everywhere are her personal and private property, and she will kick anybody's butt that says otherwise.

3:04 pm

egads!

3:04 pm

sorry chaps but this grid is doing my head in i might come back later - still got 70 to go

3:04 pm

but she's fine with other toys, so...

teulu likes the roll ups, no knots anywhere...

3:04 pm

Later, Kazzer

3:05 pm

hb kaz

3:05 pm

and now i must away to work for a few minutes.

3:05 pm

Hello everybody. Its amazing to read about some babblers in the throes of a hurricane. Its a beautiful, calm, balmy evening here.

3:39 pm

Hi Soodle!!

3:39 pm

misty here...

3:40 pm

sunny here

3:40 pm

Hi all. Got off work early because of the holiday so I am Babbling to Uruguay/Ghana

3:40 pm

Hi Wht

3:40 pm

what a treat!

3:40 pm

A mere 166 left

3:40 pm

Hey Mom, Pini, Wht etc. How do you feel about the new-look Babble, Mom?

3:41 pm

oh...going to take a peak at the new look...brb

3:41 pm

back for a few minutes. any more puppy questions?

3:41 pm

wait...where do we look?

3:42 pm

facebook group

3:42 pm

I'll jot mine down as I think of more, jes...and send you an email? :)

3:42 pm

facebook and search babble community

3:42 pm

Hey Jes. We got a new puppy 3 weeks ago - he alternates between frantically running around like a maniac, and sleeping as if he was dead. During his waking hours, he chews, poohs, and wees. Its all go, in my house! LOL

3:42 pm

babblers worldwide?

3:43 pm

no it's a new one .. babble community. you can link to it from my profile if you'd like

3:43 pm

yikes...didn't know about that one!!!

3:43 pm

found it :)

3:43 pm

Soodle, what I have seen, it looks pretty cool. Just saw he has a rotate button

3:43 pm

My daughter got three new pairs of shoes for the summer, and he has eaten one of each, leaving her with absolutely NO shoes!!

3:44 pm

sure, email is fine :)

3:44 pm

oh dear Soodle

3:44 pm

Soodle, what do you think of the new babble?

3:45 pm

kennel training, soodle!

3:45 pm

I saw the rotate button, Mom. I am an old-fashioned gal at heart, and my philosophy is usually 'If its not broken, don't fix it', so I am a bit apprehensive.

3:45 pm

rotate?

3:46 pm

anyone have a clue for the os7?

3:46 pm

yes, the demo he posted shows the grid moves around

3:46 pm

o + barry bonds did (or did not?) use ***r***

3:47 pm

ooooh. i will use that. much easier than tipping my head sideways to look at it in a different order.

3:47 pm

I am that way too, but from the looks it appears to be the same babble except the rotate button. Just moved the stats to the side.

3:47 pm

where's the chog going to be???

3:47 pm

it is there, Pini, it just didn't make it on the picture

3:48 pm

thanx jes, I don't now how long I spent trying to get that!

3:48 pm

Hi Mooch

3:48 pm

hi!

3:49 pm

d

3:49 pm

no worries; someone else clued it earlier or i wouldn't have it either!

3:50 pm

looks like he took today's grid for the rotate demo

3:50 pm

Sorry - had to refresh there.

3:50 pm

I am anxious to see the finished product

3:51 pm

well shoot, I thought I had all my tiles grayed and there is still one left. :(

3:53 pm

probably really fishy, but clue for the de7 please?

3:53 pm

Mom, after blood, sweat and a few tears, I fireworked earlier. Can I help?

3:54 pm

bless you Soodle, it is the E in the 4th column and congratulations

3:54 pm

Jes - alight from a 747

3:54 pm

I'm not so sure yet...guess I'll have to wait and see the finished product to really cast my input...

3:54 pm

sorry Jes, I don't have it

3:54 pm

Jes, I have a question for you ....

3:54 pm

thanks, soodle

3:54 pm

yes mom?

3:55 pm

400+ words? i just about fell off my chair ...

3:55 pm

I was on 1:10 est this morning and you were saying that someone called to put their cat to sleep. How did that pan out?

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

i went in and put the cat to sleep.

3:56 pm

Hello again...

3:56 pm

Hi Jellen

3:56 pm

Hi Stid!

3:56 pm

it was a pretty frustrating night all around last night. i'm glad i'm not on call this weekend!

3:56 pm

Hi, stid!

3:57 pm

Oh, the kitten?

3:57 pm

yes Soodle I have that one

3:57 pm

stidkids are making cards for my parents' anniversary... they are having such a nice time.

3:57 pm

Mom, is it e + homophone of what you do with a phone

3:57 pm

3:57 pm

cya shirl...sneak out while they're not looking

3:57 pm

starting the grid now...

3:57 pm

408...

3:58 pm

e + a flower

3:58 pm

I'm excited, too!

3:58 pm

...we still have plenty-o-time!

3:58 pm

the kitten was frustrating because they called twice before they decided to come in, then took 3 times as long to get to the clinic as they said (15 minutes is not the same as 45!) and then the kitten clawed my hand up nicely.

3:59 pm

w's done.

3:59 pm

thanks for that one Mooch!

3:59 pm

but it was quite feisty and i sent it home with antibiotics.

3:59 pm

3:59 pm

sorry to hear, jes!

3:59 pm

yw

3:59 pm

maybe e***while

3:59 pm

er4

3:59 pm

it was also probably 2 weeks older than they told me it was, which makes it much less likely to be any of the really dire things i was thinking when they called.

3:59 pm

{{Mooch}} that was it!! thank you

3:59 pm

and thank you Soodle for helping

4:00 pm

Is the dr8 an extension of the dr 5/12

4:00 pm

Sorry Mom, I was useless to you there - I am being distracted by a wayward puppy...

4:00 pm

can't refuse a wayward puppy

4:01 pm

well with 167 left ... I am off to scrounge up something for supper

4:02 pm

I thought kids were demanding! puppies are demanding in the extreme, and when they are not humoured, they become destructive. He has now chewed through the flex of the vacuum cleaner.

4:02 pm

4:02 pm

4:15 pm

Hi, Ata

4:15 pm

Uraguay get through!!!!

4:15 pm

Uraguay wins

4:16 pm

Too bad. I was hoping Ghana could make it through.

4:19 pm

That was two amazing games today.

4:19 pm

ir 5.18?

4:19 pm

I am disgusted that i didn't put a bet on one of the outsiders.

Ata, you still there?

4:21 pm

e

4:21 pm

e

4:21 pm

yep!

4:22 pm

What do you think of the proposed changes to babble?

4:23 pm

I'm sure DrG wants to make it better, but personally I'm quite happy as it is. But he has to make money with it, so he needs to make it do that

4:24 pm

changes???

4:24 pm

he did a great job with it so far, I trust his "improvements" will be just fine

4:25 pm

Ditto. Not broken, don't fix, is my motto. Ermmmm, is this going to cost us money? (fumbling in purse, hunting down the sides of armchairs for loose change....)

4:26 pm

he said that no old pros will have to pay anything, but that there might be things we might choose to "upgrade" to

4:26 pm

can't speak for anyone but me... I certainly get more enjoyment out of this game every single day than I have from things that have cost far more...if he needs a few more bucks, I would surely be willing to "upgrade"

4:27 pm

define old pro? does he mean chronologically?

4:27 pm

'Mutters' will have to dig deeper into sofas , under beds, and old coat pockets for spare coins.

4:27 pm

i would imagine he means anyone who is already pro

4:27 pm

as in someone who is subscribed now, to this site

4:27 pm

ahhhhhh

4:27 pm

ok

4:27 pm

i agree with dorens regarding enjoyment, and at such a cheap price too

4:28 pm

hi all

4:28 pm

Hey, I quite like being called an Old Pro, (strictly in Babble terms, of course)

4:34 pm

I wrote them down as I went along, last night

4:34 pm

I never heard of half those words on Grems list

4:35 pm

LOL. When i was a kid, a mom on the road used to call in her kids, saying, Come in, your steak will be burned. Years later, I discovered that the kids thought that Fish-fingers were called steak....

4:39 pm

hi lb

4:39 pm

our arent much better - we dont really know what kind of fish or if its fish at all - smells like fish - doesnt taste like fish...hmmm

4:39 pm

Hiya Littlebit

4:39 pm

having worked in a fish production factory i would seriously advise against buying cheap fish in any form

4:39 pm

hey jacq! hey soodle!!

4:39 pm

I'd say that is a full day NB

4:40 pm

Hey, all babblers this side of the atlantic - Braveheart is on More4. The castles scenes were filmed about 2 miles from my house. I love watching it...

4:40 pm

we used to get it in and it was so soft you couldn't hold it to fillet it and it stank

4:40 pm

no fish is cheap - but I know what you mean - when we want good stuff we go to the fish market for fresh

4:41 pm

they may take our lives but they will never take our freedom!!!!

4:41 pm

oh that is cool soodle - did you get over while they were filming

4:41 pm

better than yesterday's, River! I hate doing 12-12; I have no energy left after that!

4:41 pm

you may be too young

4:41 pm

that was for soodle

4:41 pm

long days NB do you get your breaks?

4:41 pm

Get over, River? I was the original Groupie!!

4:41 pm

LOL soodle

4:42 pm

love it

4:42 pm

I never actually saw the great Mel, but, I know a man who did......

4:42 pm

very cool soodle

4:43 pm

Sometimes, Jac ;) depends on how busy it is - I don't like to just leave for 20 minutes if it's heaving and the remaining staff won't be able to cope!

4:44 pm

so long as you can get a cool drink to keep you going

4:45 pm

i have 100 left and can't see a thing

4:45 pm

No shortage of them where I work Jac ;) I was lucky enough to be bought a couple by one or two regulars last night...showed up in the chat a bit tipsy! Embarrassing.

4:45 pm

nm

4:48 pm

Not seen it Science, but I cant wait to see Toy Story 3.

4:48 pm

re + I used to keep a ***ry to log my secrets

re 5/10 - to put lubicant in the engine again

4:49 pm

i don't play every day

4:49 pm

m

4:49 pm

guess I better pay attention

4:50 pm

you are saner than i, jacq

4:50 pm

me too - I must play everyday

4:50 pm

i would get nothing done if i did that, and i wouldn;t get the peace to play anyway

4:50 pm

so wish I had a laptop that had wireless internet to take to hospital with me - I am going to have major babble withdrawal

4:51 pm

when i first started playing i did, every single day

4:51 pm

can you borrow one from someone?

4:51 pm

get something done???? I dont understand....

4:51 pm

river if you were here i would loan you mine

4:51 pm

i Do get nothing done, but i get the grid (most days... once in a while i fall asleep first)

4:52 pm

yes, river, there is probably someone who would lend one... or maybe they even have some in the hospital you can use??

4:52 pm

hi all! I just checked babble on FB, Dr. God says he has the rotate feature up and running : )

4:52 pm

Depending on what model of mobile phone you have, River, you may be able to use that to babble?

4:53 pm

I know they have one in the pediatric ICU - I used it two weeks ago - but he may go to the regular unit instead - depends on beds - i want something to do other than read during the 8-10 hour procedure

4:53 pm

ohhh i dn't know about there but when my oldest daughter was expecting she was rushed into hospital and while they were assessing her we looked at the pricing for tv and internet in her ward and it was horrendously expensive

4:53 pm

I have a basic phone with no frills

4:53 pm

hi bethn

NM - your new photo is AWESOME! You are so handsome

4:54 pm

i have a relatively fancy droid, but it is not easy to babble

4:54 pm

rotate - that will make it interesting

4:54 pm

I'd send you mine if I could, River. It's not like I can work the blasted thing!

OOPS Nancy B!

4:54 pm

4:59 pm

5:00 pm

go Pini

9:22 pm

Down to 84 left!

9:22 pm

Anyone need more clues before I go?

9:22 pm

Does the new site give you a big cup of coffee or tea to start the game with?

9:22 pm

I think I'm going to make it!!

9:22 pm

go Jellen!

9:23 pm

Not me wht, I finished hours ago.

9:23 pm

Go Pini

9:23 pm

5 to finish!

9:23 pm

Does the new site do your laundry, ironing anf housework? Now that WOULD be good!

9:23 pm

agreed, jac!!!

9:24 pm

Maybe it even cooks a family meal whilst you're playing?

9:24 pm

walks the dog, too?

9:24 pm

It could do, Pink.

9:24 pm

Gives an alert if the boss walks by while you are playing at work?

9:24 pm

3

9:25 pm

Are we asking too much, do you think? LOL

9:25 pm

* giggle *

here to beg for final four

9:25 pm

what - that's another good suggestion.

9:25 pm

git'r dun, TO! :)

9:25 pm

Love the laundry idea...

ro6/28 & 7 after more pink?

9:25 pm

Two of the final four are Uraguay and Netherlands.

9:25 pm

Get on your knees and bed, TO.

9:25 pm

Hello again for the umpteenth time

9:25 pm

BeG!

9:25 pm

speaking of cooking...best check the water for pasta

9:26 pm

wb, River

9:26 pm

roll call list

9:26 pm

ro6 after pink is a list of teammates

huh?

9:26 pm

ro6/18 and 7/28 are orders of work, TO.

9:26 pm

ro6/7 List of members of a team

9:27 pm

bailing out, last requests?

9:27 pm

Rhymes with an Australian beer

omg, i just refused to see that! ty

9:27 pm

good night hotspur

9:28 pm

g'night

9:28 pm

This grid induces blindness

9:28 pm

TO - think of another word for the cock amopngst the hens and take a vowel out.

9:28 pm

now I thought ro7/48 was a challenge

9:28 pm

Night HotSpur

9:28 pm

tick tock

9:28 pm

night, Hotspur

sinc ei have every p word filled in on lickety's i am in for a nomumental hunt

9:28 pm

That ro6.18 is commonly used as past tense here - not in the US?

9:29 pm

reload them on lickety - that has happened to me with my own imput in the wrong place

9:29 pm

New site makes Lickety redundant, if I read it all correctly. Might also make we cluers redundant, too. AND YOU CAN ROTATE THE GRID.

9:30 pm

not commonly, Lynxxx. but it is used

9:30 pm

redundant cluers?!?!?! What is the world coming to?

9:30 pm

I don't use Licekty Pro, but I do sometimes use his clues list, just like I used Jack's in the past. These days, I find I'm doing the list if Lickety is absent.

9:30 pm

lol wht

9:31 pm

TY Dawg. Never understood why it isn't accepted here

9:31 pm

but those clues certainly wont be as fun or funny as some of the ones we give.

9:31 pm

lbd - exactly! Which is why the chog, I am told, will be in its rightful place by the grid.

9:31 pm

yes we do have some awesome clues - fun and even as challenging as the word

9:32 pm

is it not in a rightful place now?

9:32 pm

I know there's a 'community' button' coming, but the chog is more fun. Wonder if we get edit/delete buttons on that?

9:33 pm

Well, it is time for me to go. Night all. Hope the grids over the weekend are a little smaller than this one.

9:33 pm

1

9:33 pm

an edit button would be nice.

9:33 pm

If it brings up a list of clues/counts when you click on a letter , it would be very hard to use if that letter has many letters - like the W today

9:33 pm

g'night wht! thx for the help!

9:33 pm

G'night, wht

9:33 pm

go PINI!!!

9:33 pm

night night, wht

9:33 pm

You can do it Pini.

9:33 pm

lbd - it's in its rightful place now, but we did wonder if it would still be when Dr_God showed us a pic of the new site.

ty for the clues, i finally have my icon!

9:34 pm

I think you can also click on the tiles to spell the word on the new site.

9:34 pm

whooooo hoooooo TO!!!

9:34 pm

seems everyone is getting really upset over this updated version that we havent seen yet - deep breath everyone - it will be fine - OK breath again - deep breath in - hold - ok let it out

9:34 pm

wtg TO!

jacs, did you say the new site comes tomorrow?

9:34 pm

LOL To aand well done. *~*~*~*

9:35 pm

not upset at all River - just curious

9:35 pm

TO - I said that's what Dr_God said, but I don't know for sure if it will happen.

ah, thanks for the nostalgia jacs!

9:35 pm

I'm sure Dr. G will have it so you can ignore the features you aren't interested in.

9:35 pm

good - the morning crew (at least morning for me) was pretty upset that things were changing

i do hope he changed that blue color

9:36 pm

ah - I like that blue color

well there will be a new feature for additional $

9:36 pm

rofl - could care less

very hard on the eyes, river.

9:36 pm

not having FB, i rely on you all to give me updates and info.

coul dcar less that the color is hard on the eyes?

9:37 pm

River - most of us don't like change,as in 'if it's not broke don't fix it!'. However, there were some changes many of us would like to see and have asked for. Jamie 'may' have gone too far. Don't know. I do hope he tones down the colours for the new site though.

9:37 pm

NO NO NO TO - I could care less what color it is

9:38 pm

River - colours matter mor than you may think.

i saw severl comment to that effect and i agree thought i have not given my opnion. the money aspect is interesting

i asked for larger font for the add word box

9:38 pm

\Some colours calm, some excite, some annoy and some just piss you off.

9:38 pm

I love this game so much and the people here are the best - I dont care what he does with the site - I will still be here no matter what - I need this group of friends and the game

9:40 pm

I am very happy that DrG can hopefully make some more money out of this. Its a great game and frankly the price is very cheap. PS I am not rich!

9:40 pm

Looks like I killed the chog again

9:40 pm

not at all, River

9:40 pm

River, Jamie needs to make a living but if I don't like what he's doing with the site, I will certainly tell him so.

9:41 pm

Me either but like Soodle today - we will be searching in furniture for lost change to keep this going

9:41 pm

It will be interesting to see the new changes and how many more will be drawn to the game when it can be played on handheld devices...

9:41 pm

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!

9:41 pm

Jamie doesn't need your lost change unless you're using it to by stuff from the new 'Shop' site.

9:42 pm

wtg godt

9:42 pm

whoohooo godthaab

I will, River...24 left...

10:03 pm

go Jellen go!

10:04 pm

its almost ....pumpkin time.....

10:04 pm

I am very disappointed with your town leaders. The voted on an item that wasn't on the agenda. Some townsfolk thought it was necessary to rename the main drag in town Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The business owners and residents of this street heatedly had voiced their opinion in the past simply because of the expense involved, not to mention the hassle. But because of a few, the board caved under pressure, voted on it underhandedly so now our little town forks over precious money for something I'm dure MLK would have never ever wanted.

10:04 pm

pe 5/12, the first?

10:04 pm

oops that is "our" town instead of "your" town.

10:04 pm

down to 150. going to check email and back with (Hopefully) fresh eyes.

10:05 pm

bye bye stid

10:06 pm

Later, stid

10:06 pm

Got it, thanks

10:08 pm

wow Nonnie - sorry to hear of that - while I appreciate his work - I appreciate your concerns as it would be mine as well

10:11 pm

Ok, so why is it that the chog seems to die when I answer some question - serious or not - um......I just dont get it.....

10:11 pm

I appreciated this man also. He was such an honorable man and what an orator! I mean the man could speak. What happened to him should never happen to anybody.

10:11 pm

lol river--I feel the same way sometimes :o)

10:12 pm

hey Nonnie - guess I was impatient

10:12 pm

sorry, laptop froze. I guess I should try sleep again, though.

10:13 pm

pe 5/12 after the spans of time

10:13 pm

Sleep? Who needs sleep?

10:13 pm

Jesse needs sleep...

10:13 pm

pe 5/12 after the spans of time, please?

10:13 pm

so should I - if I stayed another 6 hours it would be a day but need to get up for a baseball game that starts at 9 my time

10:14 pm

Sorry Jellen, I don't have the one yet.

10:15 pm

So min was saying last night that the board was going to change at flip. I haven't seen any differences yet. Has anyone seen any changes?

10:15 pm

pe5/12 = pe*** code? (criminal)

10:16 pm

pe5/12 = demise?

10:16 pm

pe + court said ALL ***e

10:16 pm

10:18 pm

well done, nonnie

10:18 pm

I would like to throw out some of my worst (ooh had to be careful there) words for clues if no one has a problem with it

10:18 pm

lol river...pb!

10:19 pm

go for it, river...I'm sure they'll help (I'll stand back and watch while I eat)

10:19 pm

Oops, you said words.

10:25 pm

Cook butter, sugar, milk, cocoa to the soft ball stage. Add quick oats and peanut butter, stir real well and drop on waxed paper and set in the fridge. No bake so great for the summertime.

10:25 pm

Hi Pini. How are you? I was here a bit ago; then left to clean up the kitchen (I don't have an auto-cleaning one yet. :-/

10:26 pm

OH! no bake cookies

10:26 pm

I've never heard them called boiled cookies..

10:26 pm

Oh Nonnie - yum - taking notes

I can identify with the anger, believe me!

I don't know if you know, but 10 years ago, mom was diagnosed with bladder cancer and then about 6 months later, another primary - breast cancer. She is clear now and has been for almost 5 years, so we have dealt with this a lot in our family. *sigh*

on the home front, we have poop in the potty!

10:36 pm

someone quitting diapers?

10:36 pm

that's a lot for one family, tea.... but hooray for POOP!!!

10:36 pm

11:11 pm

11:15 pm

One of my close friends told me tonight that I am not thinking realistically listening to people on a chat web site - it got to be a heated argument - anyone else have this problem

11:16 pm

or + round vowel + ***a (thought)

11:16 pm

or+ infamous robot ending + vowel

11:16 pm

do you mean, river, that they think that communication by chat is inferior to face to face or telephone?

11:17 pm

interesting concept, river...I find I have some excellent conversations with "virtual" friends ;)

11:17 pm

thank you pini

11:17 pm

they all think I am crazy chatting with people I dont know

11:17 pm

yvw ;)

11:17 pm

they are nuts

11:17 pm

don't forget to pl

11:17 pm

so 7 ?

11:18 pm

if that's the case, River, I should be in an insane asylum; been "chatting" online since 1982

11:18 pm

so + religious ceremonies

11:18 pm

I find that people who are not familiar and comfortable with technology in general have that misconception... personally, I have always found written communication to be more reliable, and prefer it to face to face

11:18 pm

so + ceremonies

11:18 pm

tthank you both

11:18 pm

so + jellens got it

11:19 pm

410 to go ..

11:19 pm

goferit, tor! :)

11:19 pm

An online nurse friend of mine says her mother is always calling us her "little internet friends" which she *thinks* is a way to refer to us as all being imaginary (nevermind that we had a gathering of 30 of us in Las Vegas a couple of years ago and had a BBQ at this same gals' house!

11:19 pm

besides. you're not listening to us. you're reading us!

11:19 pm

I don't think chat room acquaintances are very different from the old-fashioned penpals... and in fact refer to you-all as penpals when speaking about you to technophobes!

11:19 pm

ROFL, cute nef!

11:20 pm

I neverdoubted but its been so hard lately and to be dealt with that on top of it all - they dont realize how I need my friends everywhere

11:20 pm

last lap

11:20 pm

exactly. don't let 'em get you down. This is a time to be supportive!

11:20 pm

go go ruru!

11:21 pm

Well, when I need to "be at home," it's still nice to know I can "talk" with others rather than waiting for Koda or the walls to talk with me!

11:21 pm

so 5/12?

11:21 pm

they just dont understand

11:21 pm

a plural?

11:22 pm

s + ***er of the arrow (pl)

11:22 pm

well even if they don't understand, it's rude to make something of it.

11:22 pm

sounds like sabors

11:22 pm

they probably never will, river...their loss

11:22 pm

to 6/21 # 1 please

11:22 pm

thank you!

11:22 pm

brb

11:22 pm

I sometimes think it's easier to chat here or in my private nursing BB than to people IRL who don't pay attention to what you say (ie: my kids, for instance)

11:23 pm

to + not to lives

11:23 pm

to6 (1st) sounds sorta like a drink Hot To****
