Have you ever played Boggle, evsnan?

NE 6

Ah, check out the help screen, then...

Ti 6 x2
th 9
can't seem to get the help screen up........no matter thx.........I wait for Dj to come later
TH8
what is happening now is a flurry of the people who are really really good (and me who is not) having a fling of finding words first
si 8
so just pretend it is babble with a 4 letter minimum and type away evn
hi to anyone I missed earlier!
evsn its next to the words my account i clicked on it and it works
And I, who lost self-control when it came to my bed-time snack, am headed back to my books...
hi volley
se8
dee i thi9nk its a si 6/8
in8
thx jmc......been doing that ..put in stone and added but it said not in the puzzle.....oh gee....guess it back to text twist for the time being
sweet dreams jell
hi jm hi ru
yes mlf
the letters must be touching in consecutive order
te 8 if not said
dee:)
the letters have to be contiguos unlike text twist so the s is not next to the t but you could make an word from an anagram of stone

EA6
well i think starting on a moderately large grid has the advantage that you are likely to find words you have heard of! lol
stats for last column r?
that could be jmc and usuallly small words are somewhat eeasier to find
good point, jmc ;)
re 10 if not called
evsnan, did you figure-out how it works? The letters must "touch" -- so you can get tone, but not stones. get it? Heading to the penalty box ...
hi all -- bridge got screwed up tonight so I'm here earlier than usual but flosy's still there.
i only 1/2 for the first month in babbleland

I don't usually get them
for giving us irate
yuk to the re10!
was a mistake, thought i was typing int he game box ;) but yw
but I just remembered I have a Godiva chocolate bar in the fridge..bet that would help
good, varumba -- get your camera out for your front door to come ;)
it would have to be a really grave situation to re10
for sure
argh ruru.
I think you've killed it.
varumba, we all do that but if you get Babble Expert (it's free) it doesn't happen so easily.
maybe he didn't like the site - it's always location, location.
abra cadaver
nbt!
naughty west!
wtg m
wtg m9!
i'll ook into it jilli ;)
ruru's at it again
wtg m9
do u still get to see the chat thought with babble expert?
it was one of my birthday presents I did well not eating it yet
Then, varumba, there's the times you type your post in the add-a-word box --
actually I forgot all about it lol
I was trying to be cryptic jilli
lmao
cryptic! love it!
varumba, Expert puts everything on one page so you don't have to toggle -- plus it has a box where if you type one word it goes to your Word List plus Lickety's list in the right place. If you type more than one word it goes to the chat.
you are Tomb much!
oh i see!
i'll defo try and get it soon
shoudl i google babble expert?
There are other neat features too, like a link to morewords or a2z.
a tisket a casket a green and yellow basket
you're killing me
no, you just email Lickety and he will send it to you.
do i find how to email lickety on his page?
he's just bnattering away, in his own little world.
BUT Expert doesn't work with Macs.
not fair !!
his address is at the bottom of his page, I think.
yes, just saw it ;) tx for that jilli
need to get ready for work now :(
bye all, syl xx
yw -- enjoy!
bye varumba
bye var
poor west has a Mac

weave it alone ruru
we should have a babble meet / burka party
I'll start growing a beard
ha!
funny!!
everyone's a comedian on here, lol!
yeah, I've gone muslim
you keep me in stiches m9
ruru's in the grid.
sew do you!
and you keep needling me too
oops.. I almost said da4!!
I'm the only muslim with Buddhas all over his property and house, ha!
don't hem yourself in
I could do, as I'm a clothing designer and sew a lot!
you can't selvage these jokes..
(groan)
oh god, that's sew bad!!
ruru groaned!! my evening is made!!!
I'd rather moan
sorry.. it's only a phant today george.
th5 seems to be a pattern in the jokes.
can't say th6 in this punfest either...
lst 8 is no 8,45... as in a movie that does not have a category (like pg, pg 13, r, etc)
what is?
moan can't be one, no 'm' in the grid
pe5! ROFL!!!!
I better burka off to bed..
sleep well ru
how many words you got ruru??
hello all - could i have the stats for the lower E please for nbt
275
is george's burka worse than his bite?
nice!
halo, ursh!

ep4/6
you didn't think that was some muslim woman, ru?
i think I got the et5 gas off that tile.
ha! Like those could be anyone else's eyes.
yeah, but ru doesn't know my eyes!
I don't .. I guess
ty jilli
what does nbt stand for plz....keep seeing it come up?.......and how do I get a profile?
evs.. no blank tiles
No Blank Tiles
you pay the low fee to become a pro member!
ty m9...not a lot wiser tho
to get a profile you have to "go pro" -- i.e. pay the one-time fee of about $15
No bank tellers
in the Tile Stats -- every tile having at least one word found off it
referring to the tiles under the grid
right jilli.....I guess thats USA dollars/
yeah
still cheap
only a one time fee!
yes, evs -- where are you?
evs.. do you see the tile stats below the grid?
oh duh....ty all

good morning. What a huge grid and not enough hours in this day
hi ruby
good morning ruby
I'll jump in for a little while
it's been fun ruby
150 to go and I'm off to bed, goodnight all
sweet dreams, flosey
good night flosey you made a good dent
tks west, hope I can finish tomorrow
thanks ruby
sleep well flosey
hello westfords
whoops, typo city!
hi lol thought you might be seeing 2 of me
I love this grid but wish I had more time!
busy day ahead?
my son "might" be coming tomorrow; he's on standby until the last minute at Dulles, so I won't know until very early AM Wed
and I'd ra**** play babble than clean or cook!
oh but how nice he's coming
and Thurs is husband's birthday (not his father), so it should make things more cheerful. Meanwhile, I'm sweating it out
just relax and enjoy it
do you have a special birthday dinner planned?
no, lunch out. Dinner is always simple. And son's wife is a vegetarian.....
one of our daughters is along with her husband but they do eat fish
she is very strict, doesn't even eat eggs! Fortunately, she's very quiet about it
set her out in the pasture and she can graze
I didn't say that
if it was a little warmer, I would!
don't tell!
lol
cold weather now?
it is in the 40's at night and they're coming from TX where it was still in the 90's
they might enjoy the change
I think that's why they're coming
southern CA is unbelievably hot right now
that's what I heard. Crazy weather all over the place
kids are in San Diego North County near the ocean and it was 97 today
it's 50 ish and rainy here
that's more like what it's supposed to be; here it's edging up to frost, but I still have roses, sedum, buddleia, impatiens and fruit
oh goody -- well over halfway!
good jilli
ruby did you ever figure out why there were flies in your window box?
how could you remember that? It lasted two days and then --- gone!
jilli are you still here?
hi and nbt
hi josh
my husband sprayed them with the hose, so that may have helped. It was disgusting, however
ruby I have a strange mind lol
hi josh
maybe it's because granddaughter #1 is studying to be an entomologist
tell her that we have (some years) beautiful European garden spiders, argiopes, and they are multi-colored with combinations of stripes and spots in orange, yellow, white, black and brown.
she'd love that
spiders are her favorites
yes, west, but fading fast
for two years, I was feedsing them flies, outside, of course. In the house we just get large, black ones who jump and don't make webs. I DON'T FEED THEM!
jilli I was wondering what happened to gremlin
we also have tiny whitish ones in the garden, truly lovely
Cassie would call you a hero
maybe he and chuggaboom have gone to other games
yes, maybe they didn't find babble enough of a challenge
They like speed
I enjoyed them
it's plenty challenging for me; I think I've finished 4 times since I joined in Dec and I was really good at scrabble!
They weren't interested in chat, just in and out.
the scrabble dictionary has normal words
and the chat gives this room warmth and charm!
it does !
welll, there are some weird there too, aren't there? Like qi.
Just saying hello b4 I dive into this nice juicy grid
plus support and friendship, all without baggage
hi lyn!
use that one a lot jilli
hi lyn
hello lynxx, is it getting hot there yet?
it comes in handy, eh wet?
*west
No, not at all sadly, this week was supposed to be reaching 20 during the days but it has been raining instead
when I try to play scrabble or lexulous in French, I don't have either the babblets or the "special" scrabble words and it's impossible
yes jilli lol
isn't rain what you need in Australia?
scrabble in any other language would be next to impossible for me
The rain IS lovely, but a week of sunshine and warmth would have been nice
they just think I'm stupid!
ask them to let you enter English words
well, 223/134 and it's bedtime! Goodnight all and happy babbling...*poof*
nice job jilli and good night from me too I'm beat
goodnight Jilli
bye jilli!!!!
hope your son makes it ruby
sweet dreams, west!
thank you, me too
and you get some sun lyn
bye West, sleep tight
I am so pale, even after the summer, that I look like |I live in a cave
Good morning/evening all. I ti6/21 through the chat log to say hello and to sigh with delight at such a nice grid.
whew - thought you had taken up wearing mens clothing (not that there is anything wrong with that!). Hello Haz. Yes a nice large one to indulge in
Lots of nice sequences and build-upon words.
on
back again, couldn't sleep
hi Flosey, can't sleep?
Hello, flosey.
hi Haz, and Lyn, restless, so will see if I can get a few more words
Just got back from the shops with freshly ground coffee and dark chocolate covered wafer biscuits (Belgium) - can I tempt anyone?
You're just trying to distract us from finding words. I know your game.
Taking a quick break, back shortly.
morning all. Lyn, I am severely tempted! xxx
Good morning, sprite.
hi Haz!
Hello! You'll get your fingers tangled up, it's such a fun and speedy grid today.
oh lovely, just what I need. Am going to enjoy this then.
I'm pretty confident of it. Even the big words are normal.
that is always pleasant. I don't mind unwords, but finding a biggie that is a normal word is more fun.
aw and my doggy is in
Absolutely.
I know, what more could you want?
Hello Sprite
hi lyn :) xxx
nothing for now, Haz, I am content
hello again
hi rubyfoo
Hello, ruby.
wb Ruby
guestroom is all prepared, now waiting to see if John is really coming.....
he is, rubyfoo. Have faith.
in God yes, in United Airlines, less....
au clair the la lune...
have faith in John. He can kick somebody out of the queue in time ;)
can't picture that hahah
well he could grab his guitar, and lure somebody away like the Hamelen guy.
I found the 9, but the 10 eludes me
so far same here
vice versa here
hahah lyn
*smug*, I've got them all... (9 and 10)
hahaha haz
do think they are related....but Haz can answer that
almost as smug as our Ata, Haz.
They're not related at all.
do - don't
The 10 is a past tense of a 7.
great, then still everything is possible
and as there is 50 (that's 50!) 7s there is a multitude to choose from
am doing well on the 8s, a little over halfway of grid and halfway of 8s. That is good for me.
No-one will accuse me of spoonfeeding!
lol Haz... never, indeed
all my 7's are already either plurals or pt's....
pintoes
good example
I just know you'd rather find them on your own.
sorry is there coffee in the PB? slinking away.....
bad ruby
I do, for now. You were right, it is a lovely grid.
YES got it!
I knew you would!
that clue made clear what the ending should be
so thanks, haz
*smugger than before*
:D
more cleaning, see you later
Bye, ruby.
bfn rubyfoo
Nice, word 200 was the 9. Taking a break for a bit
Q dead. This is fun.
See you later, lynxxx.
nice one, lyn. Have a nice break.
plodding away here, 44 left and not seeing too many more words
hi dizgrannie :)
fireworks no list
good stuff
well done josh
great one Josh
hey Sprite!
so many t's
does anyone need a clue?
I am okay, thanks
yea Josh, for my last 44 words...LOL
None needed here, thanks.
you just lost a bit of smugness, Haz...
last words were ti6/7/7
How so?
for posting a grid word
I was going to say da4, but stopped myself just in time.
*grins*
and don't try dr4 in stead...
I'll just have to stamp my feet.
that is safe
Back from errands just in time to see Haz entering the PB! Greetings Haz and spriety sprite :)
hi FM :) *hugs*
Good morning, FM.
A rather bigger grid than I was hoping for today.
Now, FM, this is a lovely grid. You can't possibly not do it.
Hope all is well with you both?
It'll take you the blink of an eye.
it is one of the best grids in ages. You will enjoy it.
All's well at this end.
not really, but getting th5. Making tough decisions and seeing them through. Should make for some space and peace of mind.
how are you, FM?
Rats, you are both doing a very good job of selling the grid to me. AM well too and happier that it has warmed up a little, I was a very chilly mortal for the last 3 days.
I actually put the heating on for an hour on Sunday morning!
won't take you longer than a normal 150 grid, FM. Seriously. Glad you are a bit warmer. Better get the sweaters and blankets ready... it is going to be a chilly winter.
We've had to resort to putting the heating on some evenings. I blame my daughters for refusing to wear enough clothes.
LOL Haz
I told my kids to put on a sweater and grab a blanket, lol. But soon it won't be enough.
Such is the cycle of the seasons.
at this side of the world, anyway
Wonder how Ata got on at the weekend with the exhibition?
me too. Keeping fingers crossed.
Hopefully it was a triumph. She'll probably flop in some day/time soon to tell us about it.
bet she needed some rest afterwards.
She might have gone to visit C afterwards as we haven't seen her yet.
I'm sure - and hopefully her leg hasn't suffered any more.
I second that
arrrgh... I am joining you in the PB, Haz...
*smug*. You need to at5 for your misdemeanour.
*giggle*
yeah... me and my big mouth...
I'm going to dive in for half an hour and see what I can find.
half an hour will bring you at least halfway
have fun, FM :)
Aha! We've got her tempted in. Enjoy!
*gives Haz a high 5*
*smug*
I mean, it would be positively cruel not to sell this grid to enthusiasts, wouldn't it?
you are right, as ever.
I know FM would never forgive us
Never. We'd bear the blame, think of the shame.
now that would be unbearable
sprite, have you spoken to BabbleRabble since that last morning?
no I haven't. What's up?
I don't know of any change, just hadn't seen him around again.
I thought he might chat a little more, but no.
me neither, not for about a day. Hope to 'see' him soon again.
I've just checked - he's playing regularly and completed yesterday.
BabbleRabble will chat when he feels like it and up to it. I know he appreciated being welcomed here.
I know.
I miss him too when he is not around
I know. We're losing out on learning new words with those phantoms of his.
indeed :) And I miss his smart clues and apt comments.
I've just discovered another way of telling that winter is on the way. The oil delivery lorries practically queuing up to fill up the tanks.
Ours should arrive either today or tomorrow. I'll have a chair ready for when he hands me the bill.
And then I'll issue the daughters with thermal underwear.
better not faint, it tends to make you chilly. Better rant and rave.
Poor oil man - to be greeted either with swooning females or angry harridans.
maybe he should wait until it is really cold. He will be received with wide open arms.
I remember being so thankful last winter that we had reliable heating - cost just about didn't matter!
it is awful to be truly cold.
I had 10 left and 8 were forgotten plurals/singulars! Shame on me.
fireflies now
Oh, it happens with a grid like this. I'll keep your shameful secret. Well done!
Congrats sprite!
thanks :) Have a grand day, both of you. And all lurkers too.
Bye spriety, you too.
You too, sprite.
I'll see you later Haz, going to make an early lunch.
Okay, FM. I'll probably be away, but aren't you glad we tempted you?
Words are pouring boutifully, including the 9 :)
TTFN
I knew it! I'll maybe see you later. Toodle-oo.
HELP!!! THE BOTTOM HALF OF MY LIST HAS DISAPPEARED...whoopsie sorry for yelling

hi kids
hi Espritd
hi all
morning jmc
gm jmc
my gym is closed today and the trees sound like fall
Hi
:-(
I am trying hard to connect those 2 facts. So you went running in the park?
hi lickety
evening Lickety
no just a bad start to the day
i was thinking of running but it is raining
Ohhh, 12 year old girls - why are they so messy
:-)
anyone in particular or in general lickety?
just my daughter I think
Love her, but - oh my goodness
lol her room a mess then?
You can practically see where she has been by the mess
Not just her room, anywhere she inhabits
a little cyclone?
I spent 5 hours cleaning the mess and it's obvious who the culprit is
Some times I can't see her floor in her bedroom
5 hours!
bathrooms are littered with her dirty clothing
Anyways, vented.
get a yard broom and push it all just inside her room and shut the door - do not pick it up
i am with lynxxx
lynxxx - I've done that - but she doesn't care - she just steps over it
she will care eventuall
In fact she'll probably injure herself rather than clean up
especially when you tell her she can only entertain her friends in her room!
Knowing her she probably will hurt herself!
not overly graceful at this point?
Oh - after I just told her exact instructions, she threw an empty bottle at the recycle area
Still a week of school holidays? see how big the pile can get in her room
I yelled at her - and only the she said was 'WHAT!'
Getting too old for her boots
why is th*** a school holiday
Her shoe size is bigger than her age ;-)
they do that
Yes it's a school holiday here - for the next week and a half
4 terms
ah!
our longest school holidays run from Xmas to most of January
glad I'm at work for most of it. Hang on - mrp is going to be angry!!!!!
I can't win.
poor lickety
I just gotta cope ;-) I like life - Focus on the great things
Where is MRP?
Like the sunset, a glass of water, the sweet smell of the morning.
mrp is here, but not with me
as i tell the soldiers who are depressed: remember everything is termporary
she is in another room,
Waiting for me to be her sounding box
she will grow into those shoes
Life is grand - and never boring. I grow from every experience
And
life is grand -- thanks for the reminder
I make sure every time get to use for myself I utilize fully.
Life is a rollercoaster ride - Wouldn't want it any other way ;-)
ah Youth
hahahaha
Thanks Lynxxx - I do make sure I act like a 16 year old as much as possible,
but that creates friction, so I resort to a 20 year old who think's he is r1
41
Which is my age if you count the rings.
hmmm THAT sounds like my 25 year old
Hope he keeps it ;-)
he thinks he is mr brilliant and i am a dummy again
at 40, you still think like a twenty something
Ohh jmc - I remember when I was like that
really jmc, surely not!
from about 18 to 22 he thought i was brilliant
now i have gone back to being a dummy! lol
kids!
lol! indeed
enjoy the grid, gotta go be a sounding box
what are the stats for the lowest R?
bye Lickety, love to MRP
bye lickety -- er enjoy? ;-)
probably re6.21 - what you did to your boy

hi Kaplan, I can't work that out - must be bedtime for me. Bye all - enjoy

Hi red, and a friendly grid too
hi red
congrats on your last night shift!
a very friendly grid so far
thank you, it was terrible and long, but it is OVER!
Glad you are done with nights, red...on to days!
ecept at the moment, I need a small nap. thus I shall return triumphant, but later...
Hi Red
sweet dreams, red
have a nice nap
question: what does the update to pro do for finding the words?
hints for the E in the bottom row?
ep4/6
it lets you continue to have access to the tile stats and number of words
well after a fortnight, you no longer see the tile and word stats unless you go pro
ep--tiny laugh
far as finding the words without those, nothing
and it is a small cost for a lifetime of pleasure
ty
Going pro means you have succumbed. And it's worth it to see stats.
but it's cheap to go pro and only a one time cost, not much to pay for all you get
hi george
this site does cost to provide and maintain
halo, jmc!
understand that
yeah, Kaplan, ha!
hello george

Hey ruru.
Hiya, ruru. Dang, Crossy. That's a lot of rain. We are supposed to get buckets of it the rest of the week here.
I have a long way to go here....ugh
AS no rain was forecasted I was watering the garden an hour ago and now it is pouring down. Hi Judi.
Well then, as usual, we have you to blame, FM.
looks like it is going to rain forever.....
then it will snow forever lol
Yep I think you are right Judi :)
ar7 anyone? I can't find it
Shhh! Don't say the "s" word.
ar7 - ends in American spelling of not day.

Get your fingers poised, FM....

Of course, if you get the next one faster than me, I'll just claim I let you win.

But not if she can't even beat ruru.
A + what Marie Antoinette misses greatly
well at least I have finished the grid.
LOL ru
"time for me to use my speech to type program hehe
Not like ruru. Poor soul, he's reduced to begging for clues from smug women.
do you have to speak slowly with it crossy?
I have been begging my whole life.. and now this game too.
you have to train if first fm,you aatually read a book to it,then correct for accent and nuances,but once it has learned your voice it can do 160 wpm
i have to retrain mine on this computer
Interesting!
it is called 'dragon naturally speaking" it is version 10.0
i have played babble with it in the past and it can surf the web as well
Dragons speak? I thought they just beltched fire and brimstone, well who knew.
lol
what about dragon breath.. do you have to have that to work the computer?
my son also uses it in school as a teaching aid
LOL!
as his writing is a bit delayed
thats good for your son, I am sure there are many different ways it can be used.
did somebody call me? Ethel?
it will auto punctuate,back space quite amazing really
Hiya, Kap!
I saw this DARLING new hat!
But can it auto-punctuate?
Ricky will kill me. wait- Ethel, I have a plan.
indeed
"Oh, no Lucy. I'm leaving."
Ooh, Lucy. You got some s'plainin to do!
ep7?
Wait a minute, Ethel. I know how to get the 500 dollars.
ep, plus what's on top of your shoulders minus an a, end with the sun god.
thank you
You're welcome.
I have to go do some work.
I'm disappointed that FM isn't putting up more of a fight.
Thats not fair I was in the middle of a sneezing fit but that was a v good clue Haz.
I KNEW she'd have an excuse. My money was on the phone, but still.
biab,time to go soap down that mass of muscle...lol..semi-poof
I would have been h4 pushed to clue t4 to be honest.
I bow to your superiority.
Toodle-oo, crossy.
TTFN crossy.
It's no fun being smug without Ata.
(FM is really doing yoga and not bowing at all)
did not realise how much i would miss and find the grids just as challenging!!!!!!!!!!You gave a good clue haz but me totally rusty , still fiddling with the vowels!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, qu plus two vowels in order, then the 'again' prefix.
Where have you been lucy - did real life take over?
It ends up looking like a mediaeval version of 'strange'.
good afternoon everyone:0 quick visit again!

Well, my 5mo old niece doesn't like to crawl, but she managed to climb over a small box and tumble onto her belly, all while seated next to me on her play mat. Weee!
thanks! the parrot ran across the keyboard and hit enter, ad i didnt even get a word out of it
hi, phae, beth, mary, et al :)
way to go seain!!
hi dc
and everyone eles
better teach the parrot how to spell Beth...lol
Well, i know to keep a MUCH closer eye on her now :">, and she was calm and giggling as soon as i picked her up. Box only 2.5 inches tall at least
what kind of parrot
i would be happy with potty training him let alone spelling
a cape parrot dc, enormous beak and jaw power
one friend trained her parrot with "wait", then she walks him to an easy-to-clean surface like linoleum or tile then says "okay now" and he goes
nice, bethn :)
our african grey, was trained with " gotta go" this one refuses to learn, just "goes"
well, greys are smarter generally
OMG just noticed the grid! Should i start?
I'm down to 107 without list so far :-)
these compare intellectually to greys so far, he has a great appropriate vocabulary, he is just very stubborn
very well une, i shall engage then
I got half way before i listed
:-D
you will win, bethn!
i'm at 118 left listless, but i'm slowing down
hi all
hi jmc!
hey jmc
So far it's an easy grid, not too many weird words. Of course, I still have 47 to go and they're probably all the weird ones! Still, this one can be largely cracked listlessly...
i'm at 47 too...tackling the TH's...arrgh
from your lips to god's ears jan
hi, jmc
I'll be happy if I can get to 35 without listing on this one. 10 percent left without listing is my benchmark for an easy puzzle. How often does that happen for me? Not too often, I'm afraid.
Hi jmc
244 left
ok down to an even 100 -- off to pick up Shelby at vet's office -- back in a bit *poof*
bye une
Phaeton, watch out for alternate spellings in the th's--there are a few there.
I aim at 30 left before i list not always successfully
goodness! i am lucky to get 1/2 way before I list
Insomnia is god's gift to those who play listlessly. :-)
i try to get 100 done before work, then finish when i come home over the course of the afternoon
ty jan...finding that out
Yay--down to 35! SO off to work, and if I have time at lunch I'll list and try to finish. If not, well, it was a fun puzzle.
see you jan
bye jan
Bye bethn, paheton, jmc and all!
bye jan...ty
Oops, phaeton, I meant. Think I need a break from typing...
hope th*** is no typing at work for you jan
maybe she will recover during the commute
Zippy the pi7 :D
the only Zippy i know was Zippy the chimp, from my childhood
comic character by Bill Griffith
ahhhh... that Zippy : )
was so glad when the post dropped that strip
oooh, a tornado watch here till 6:00 tonight
but ty for the clue
fun fun fun bethn
*checks blinking weather icon*
only rain for us
still raining....16 hours and going..
at least it has been my day off past 2 days,so someone else can stand in it all day;)
tornado??!!!
yup dorens till 6 tonite keep your eyes open
morris county? -- that's my excuse not to go to the Y after work then!
i hope this blows the bad weather away, i'm going into NYV tomorrow to see "Lombardi" nothing worse than waking around the city with a bunch of middle aged ladies moaning about the weather
lol getting to be old hat here dorens,this spring we had a earthquake and 2 tornados touch down on same day lol..even made me get rid of my girlie magazines;)
Our whole area dorens, ny, nj, and parts of conn I think
don't know if we've ever had any here crossy, but there were two in NYC last week and that was unusual
clue for first in 6/21
NYV* not nyv
was only waiting for plague of locusts...
ok bethn, i do know what you mean!
there was one 25 years ago this time of year dorens, my son's due date. He was born a week early so we were home but it was terrible weather, and I gave birth in clara mas in bellevill so it would have been a very difficult trip to the hospital
wow-- glad you were home.
in 6/21 in + at this location
anyone have the last te 6/24 please? HI Dorens
by that time we were already going back to the hospital and seeing if they had switched babies- he was a real pill
i did live here then, but my memory doesn't serve me well.. only remember hurricane floyd when i watched a huge oak from the hill beyond my house topple... and land just three feet short from my house;.. hi ru
ty Luvx
i am not listing yet ru, but don't have any te 6 24
hi all! up at the FHC and have 95 left to find!
te6/24 a game of te**** ball
that's a 6/21
sorry-
that's not the one I need
probably begins with a tep
te plus an anagram of the musical instrument associated with angels.
I love you haz
thx haz
I know.
and see, ru, you were right too! thanks all
You're welcome, beth.
i have absolutely no time for this today, so pretend i am not here, and maybe i will go away and address the tons of paperwork tumbling down on me!
But Dorens, it's such a nice grid. Granted ruru is making a meal of it, but really, it's very nice.
PHone..
oh i agree haz. i don't think i ever got 200 words in less time. but I am at school, and should get back to what they pay me for!
why can't people who ti6 be ti8?
5 mo olds missing mommy are hard work :)
And back.
clue for the last in 7/28
oh seain... baby still cranky? I'm sorry!
in7/28 - in plus trick's Halloween counterpart.
ty Haz
i fed her a good bit, but once mom's been gone for 4h, she's cranky :) Mom is in day 2 of conference, and will be home later, and her dad will be home in a few hours to take her to a hockey gae
have you sung to her yet dc? singing and rocking and bouncing are good. I still find myself doing the " mommy rock" sometimes when i am standing inline. It just becomes ingrained in your cells am standin
You're welcome, Boo.
Excellent clue Haz, Thanks.
Hello, zooz - glad it helped.
i've sung, swaddled, fed, changed diaper -- she tolerates not the least damp in th5. she's calm in her crib with fav lion toy, swaddled. hoping she'll nap
ty for that in7, haz
hi, haz and zooz
Heelo, All :-)
just found th9 :-)
she's alternated between cheery and cranky, and it's all good. :) she's still tiny, after all, and only understands so much
You're welcome, dc. We promise not to talk too loudly.
make NO eye contact then, don't let her remember your available
:D
Mine needed the swaddling AND the Shushing... I used to put hair dryer on no heat blowing a away from him...
the noise calmed him right down
she's back in familiar surroundings of her room, i'm hoping that'll continue to keep her calmer :)
nothing worked with travis.. I used to wish I drank ..
hey zooz! good on the 9!
hi everyone!

howdy, cos and ru
Hello, Cosdem :-)
ro6/18 - one who makes the noise.
oh.. the other direction.. thanks beth
hope everyone is well today
I understand how she feels, dc. I pray my son gets one just like him. ( although both the baby and i wil be in diapers at the same time so i will not be aware of the justice of it all)
ty for the ROs :)
yvw ru
LOL bethn.
oooh thanks Haz!
son is living with a lovely young woman. they are poor as churchmice, and he wants to be a performer. babies are years away
Back in the days of terry nappies (diapers) people always worried about the pins causing problems. One friend recounted how a very harrassed mother with a very loud, crying baby was accosted by someone in the supermarket, suggesting that the baby might have a nappy pin sticking in him. 'He's had a nappy pin sticking in him for seven months, in that case!' was the reply.
si 7?
LOL haz
si7 - reach American spelling of not day by means of a vowel.
LOL, Haz
Poor woman, seven months of screeching...
ty for SI7
thank you haz
You're welcome.
thx haz!
Glad to help, beth.
she's asleep :) Here's hoping for an hour or so.
:)
Good luck DC:-)
And now, resist the temptation to check on her every 2 minutes.
se510 i always think is a proper noun, as Se5 Hall is a town and a school near he4
i'm good about that, she'll shout out when she's up :)
daughter did her masters at se5 hall
neat, bethn
ta6 and feathered. or a a ta6 roof
there was a shooting there this week, i think they arrested someone today. it is hard to believe that nowhere is safe anymore. there is a shooting situation going on at a campus in texas even as we speak
indeed, bethn :/
i worked in an elementary school in east orange a mile or two from se*** hall. some dangerous areas right near there, for sure
thats terrible Bethn :-(
when i was in HS, there was 1 shooting a year, by students, at the HS i would have attended had i not gotten into a different school.
daughter had her car stolen while she and her classmates were doing clinical evaluations at a senior center there. Who would want an old neon/ they found it a week later still drivable
pi 7/40?
zippy the pi7
Oh my. My life has been rather dull, no guns in High school. We had a shoot out at work once...but that was years ago.
pointy-craniumed, that is
oh those 14 year old kids will drive anything they can... but they stole my honda accord twice.. until i decided to try another car!
it's amazing what they'll steal, sometimes just because a model is easier to break into
Hello, Red ;-)
found out accords were great for making donuts... still not quite sure what a donut is.
needle-th8
hi, red
hi all, I have just woken up and realized that this morning, I gave report to a float nurse, not a regular ER nurse and I think I came off rude, because I thought she was an ER nurse.ooops.
oopsie, red :)
th 8/45 the type of place where loincoln was killed
ah, found th9
both spellings are there of that, too, bonkler
yes, she kept asking these questions about PCU charting, and I kept telling her that until the pt was transferred she could stay in the ED notes which are completely different. Now I feel sort of bad.
only the US one plurals, though
she was sad, was hoping for a new car. that happened 2 years later when same car was stolen in Hoboken. She got new car, then 3 weeks later old one showed up, once again still drivabble. This tim it belonhged to the insurance cothough
oh dear, you can hopefully explain yourself if you see her again
goodness, bethn. she's had some bad times w/cars.
Okay, going to ti6 out of the room so as not to disturb the little one. Enjoy the grid, and bye for now. (
it happens to us all red, just explain next time
yes, well. I just hope I dont get written up. If she had ever said, "I am from the PCU" I would have helped...most people do identify themselves...
pi 7/32 the first one
Take care , Haz
you got that dc.. last year she came out to go to work in the am, and all her wheels and tires had been removed from car, and car was up on blocks. this was in Piscataway, very subburban are) Police said it was a ring of thieves

missing as well
au claire de la lune, mon ami pi7.32

yes dc police recommended the locks so hopefully that will do the trick
pi7 is a form of common French PI name that means Peter

beth, I have ae6 to poke holes in lawn
pi7.32 means sparrow in French
got it thank you
er, can mean :)
it has connotation of clown, also. Versatile word it is
sorry peri a+ re4 pl
donuts are where you spin the car in a tight circle at a fast ra** and let it spin out and the tires make a black circle on the ground
lots of fun
hmph. I would have ra6ed that ENABLE were more complete, but alas.
uh, not that I would ever do that
hi, jmc :)
Hello, world!
hi jell the world say hello back!

oops likely diaper, bbs
nope, she's dreaming and vocalizing. Hopefully not a nightmare
can anyone clue the no 8 please
dc...diaper? What am I missing?
77 left, bbs
i'm babysitting :)
i don't have no8 yet
I have been a babysitter twice in my life...The first time, the five-year-old had to show me how to change the three-year-old's diaper...I had no clue!
with the plastic diapers it is not rocket science
i've changed diapers fairly regularly since i was 11
It was to me! :-P
yes, the disposables are easy :)
and if you have no clue about it, it is hard, either way :)
no8...movie that has no designation, like G or PG
it does take some practice
ty, molly
and that NO8 greyed my first tile :)
The second time, I changed my niece's diaper, but had to pause to gag periodically during the process...
:) you get used to that, jellen, when doing it regularly
well jell i am sure we can work out remedial diaper changing classes
tom always talks about going to pastry school, as he figures spreading chocolate has to be easier than wiping asses.
Anyone ever leave their kids with a sitter and come home and find the diaper on backwards? : )
Thanks for the no8, Molly!
not getting the no8 at all
a few times but as long as it absorbs it didn't really matter
I had a sitter once, came home with a bathrub full of diapers, some not even damp! she didn't know what to do because baby was crying - BECAUSE BABY WAS TIRED!
never had that sitter again
there are x-ra5/12, G-ra5/12 and sometimes no8 films
oh de** poor sitter
dumb sitter
that was in the days of cloth diapers
Ignorant sitter...
i got a phone call from a sitter of my niece who was told to make hotdogs for lunch and she put the hotdogs in a pot with no water or anything and they burned and she didn't know what to do
ty jmc and molly
yw boo
wow, jmc was the pot ruined?
we had the sitter from hell once. I took my 6 yr old daughter to her after school bowling league. we had arranged with a local girl scout 16 yrs old to come and watch my 2 yre old son. she was on the phone the whole time we were gone. Travis went into the laundry room, climbed up on the washer and knocked the bleach off the shelf then got down and played in it! when i got home his navy blue sweat suit was white, and he had bleach burns around his ankles from where the elastic held the liauid against his skin
no, fortunately but i couldn't imagine how anyone could be 18 and not know how to cook hotdogs
omg bethn that is terrible
I wouldn't have known...about the hotdogs, that is...
omg bethn, how horrible
a friend of mines nanny always got the kid to fall asleep and my friend couldn't and how did she do it. . . .
and she showed the friend that she held the kid over an unlit gas burner!
jell!!
That is terrible, bethn
but you can read a package, right?
heaven to betsy, jmc!
Yes, I could read a package...
I called her mother, who was the head of the girls scout council and told her how unreliable her daughter was. she said i shouldn't have bleach where trav could get it. when i told her it was on a shelf in the air she was nonplussed. She said her daughter would not be sitting for me anymore
thanks to microwave, my 4-yr-old nephew can heat his own hotdog.
Yay for the microwave!
must go see you all in the grid tomorrow
oh, question: this youngin's mom pumps, but refused bottles. She now gets milk in sippy cup and eats happily. Anyone else experience such?
be well, bethn
Bye, bethn
the nanny was immediately fired
I should hope so, jmc!
bye bethn
bye bethn
i always thought that was the worst nanny story i ever heard
i hope she talked to her daughter about responsibility
i should hope so, jmc
wow jmc, I hope she was also reported! if not, she could do it again
good point, flo
clue for the first pi 7

pi7 is a french clown

Hi all, I have returned. 232 left here, night shift last night was not kind to me.

Yes the grid, is not too bad, some tricky words but you will fly through it.
Ok, i`m heading off to do other things, take care , All, Happy babbling.
I am very sleepy from working last night and then my neighbours seemed to want to slam her door 3-6 times at 1 pm, so I am also awake!!!
that is very annoying Red, shame they do not think of others.
howdy red
Hi Cross!
I think zooz, most people think no one else is here at 1 pm on a tuesday. I probably should say something, btu I am now working days so less of an issue.
How are you all cross and zooz?

yay for Nan!!!
Yes, you missed the 1st NCIS of the season last week
ty lyn, found it
tonight is episode 2.
ne 6: lower (regions)
quick go watch it on hulu
thanks amelu, I suppose I culd try to find it online and watch, but I am not sure I am that dedicated.
It was good and tied up last season quite nicely, leaving a "hmmmmmm..... what was that about" ending...
I think they will recap. I was at work and all...
yes, it will recap some... :o)
I do not like that lawyer chick and I think she is going to play a bigger role this season.
the 6 letter words are relly getting to me today
pe6 pls
really even
to hoist onself on ones own....
she's definitely not my favorite but I can't remember her being in it last week... could have been and I blocked it...
ty red, never remember what that word actually means
14
Back in the day when people used to behead people and then carry round the he** through town....they put the he** on the Pe6. to hoist oneself, of course is to do it to yourself...
its the stick.
oh, ty red, now I know
sorry , I love the phrase.

back when commercials didn't feel the need to sell things using sex as a motivator...
<---was Domino's "phone girl" then pie maker, deliverer, crew chief. Tim was Domino's manager. I was making pies when preggers with my first.
and there are NO smells worse than a pizza place in the summer when you're having morning sickness...
( or a husband who comes home smelling like one..)
I loved the noid... reminded me of the lert... "everybody needs a lert" ... Oh, yuck, m9!
ewww, I can imagine, m9
and on top of THAT.. Tim took me to see Spaceballs at the theater.. Remember the character Pizza the Hutt?????
he ate himself to death

bye everyone
funny crossy!!!
i cAn see it with my eyes closed almost
oh no cross, can you dim it down...
i can tweak with the colour spectrums if i need to,but this is mainly for her and her games,so i will not mess with it beyond what she needs
but damn wish my computer was this powerful and fast!!
but then again her sceen is a 17 inch flat and mine is a 22 inch wide scree Hd :)
what song should I listen to next? my daughter and I are taking turns picking..
what music do you like?
lady writer by dire straits
lots of stuff. She's 14, and she last songs she picked were.. big band anything (we listened to string of pearls), and now the La's There She Goes.
I've picked so far.. petula clark and the kinks
mm big band eh...
ok. that's what we're going with.. dire straits it is
sadly i hear so little of it
then" guitar town"
nope.. her pick next
then "momma told me not to come" by three dog night
and she chooses black magic woman.
good choice..
Im listening to Guitar Man by The Eagles at the moment
"you win again" by the bee gees has a deadly back beat
all night long by the eagles is good as well
ok.. we're gonna go with the beegees. Because Elina is really into rhythms.. and she you got her with the backbeat comment.

I may just go to bed, I need to try to do another 9 mile run to redeem my last one.
wow! I respect that!
I wait to list until I have today maybe like 50 or 40 left, so I do not get confused and then it is fast.
well the last one was rather disgusting.
ahh back on my own computer,it is amazing how you get used to your own screen and desktop settings
I need to get some motion control shoes so I can start moving more..
that is sooo true cross, like an old friend.
m9 were you the one with the bad plantar Fasciatis?
yes. and it almost GONE!
so maybe I'm the one with the not SO bad plantar!LOL.. I think someone was saying theirs was really bad.
wonderful!!!! I have a little flare in my right foot at the moment, but I am stretching it and it does not seem to be getting worse.
I think it was you...looking for shoes to walk in rather than danskos.
yup
no volcano in the grid, how sad!

question from a novice..... just got ..in8,45 Where does the 45 come from... the tiles only add up to 9 ??
the scores of 5 letter words are doubled, 6 letter tripled, etc.
diane. the 4 letter words.. tiles equal their value.
5 letter words.. they equal double their value..
and so on
aha.... thanks so much
diane go here http://www.freewebs.com/angelsong/ for explaination!
2
they have scoring descriptions on that site
you need help on the last 2 m9? or do you wish to chip away for a bit?
I think I do need to do some more reading... thanks all so an 8 letter word is 5 x tile points

what did you get for tim?
huh ?? HUH????
roasted, salted peanuts from the discount bin crossy!!LOL
(we are SO broke!!LOL)
and I know he wants a pocket knife.. but I kind of think he should choose that himself....
a nice swiss army model,but with a good blade and just a few extras,not that one with a billion things in it
the 2nd no 5/10?
exactly. that's what he wants. and no serrated edge.
or any knife by case xx
a group of nine?
or a little ... nothing?LOL
yes a nice honed edge
I like the one hand open ones..
get it cos?
no lol
but if just a plain blade,go for quality instead of extra pull out gadgets..good quality steel beats out toys anytime
i agree crossy!
i have a 6 inch sheathed case xx hunting knife that has been in the family for over 6 years now
60*
he has a sheathed kbar.
being such a traditionalist.. I think he wants a buck.
oh and here is something he will love....
and it is not expensive
yes??
oh.. I almost forgot.. I got him a new pillow too!
http://firesteel.com/
he will love one of these
another clue for no 5/10? i have tried every combo i can think of
just change teh cons at the end..
those look cool crossy!!!!
I will definitely order one for xmas.
they are awsome m9..and good for thousands of fires
ok got it.. my head hurt now lol
I know he'll love it.. cause he believes in carrying a flare for starting fires.LOL

ooh, good clue luv, TY

my computer is slowwwiiinnggg down, can't have two things open at once anymore. So frustrating
luv, do you ever use filme manager? (it's a windows tool)
oops, i mean task manager
I try cleaning files and such thru there
is there other things to do too?
try right-clicking on your task bar, that will open task manager . . .
oh yeah, I use that when a program freezes up and I have to manually close it
you can also use it to close down utilities that are running that you don't need
is there something I do from there to speed up my computer also?
i used to have to run four utilities to free up emough ram to play games . . .
every utility you close will free up some ram and will help speed up your puter
do you mean the ones listed on the applictions tab?
let's see . . .
no, on the Processes tab. examples:
re 5/10 (not what santa uses)
googlecrashhandler is one that you don't need
mDNSResponder is another one
re 5/10 re + the ten deadly ***s
i hav that one too hmm
how can you tell which ones are necessary and which aren't?
im sorry i meant re5/12
re 5/10 what you pay for an apartment + a vowel
oh wow im an idiot i dont need re 4/12
to be honest, the way i did it was to shut down the ones that i didn't know, and see what happened. (you can restart the puter and the things will start up again)
lol
sorry i was looking for a word that didnt exist
they'll start up again when you restart the computer?
some of them are obvious, and others who NOSE what they do
np cosdem, hard to follow sometimes
ty anyway
yes, they start automatically every time you start your puter. you can't get rid of them but you can turn them off anyway
yeah, I see one here for AppleMobileDeviceService, can't imagine why I'd need that
yep, turn it off! (click on it, then hit delete, then say yes or ENTER
that's the only one that's obvious, not sure about most the others, and I don't see the ones you suggested
i found also that the ones that have a string of capital letters in them were unnecessary, like EKIJ5000
if you have a tech-nerd friend, have them look at it and they should be able to show you other ways to free up some ram
well I just blew one of those away too then lol
I think it's just time to look for a new computer. I want to get skype so I can talk to my son away at college and this computer won't support it.
I took it to a computer shop and had it cleaned a while ago and it really didn't do a lot for long
ah, yes, you have old puter that simply can't run newer software
'Morning, all. Grid is too long . Do you ever see a word that is so obvious you presume you've already entered it, and so don't write it down, only to discover you never put it in in the first place?
any more clues needed before I sign off?
mine was 8 years old and that's why i was fiddling with the task manager all day just to get it to limp along, then i got a new "brain" for my birthday
I do that all the time dofith
dofith, yes, indeed, often the last word is one like that!
I just did that with to4, (the musical sound) and all its offshoots.
I'll have the plural or the past tense but not the singular form sometimes too
Yes Luv, me too. Silly old girl!
that's why I know I couldn't finish a grid without listing
well if no clues are needed I'm going to call it a night. Thanks for the computer advice Gwen and good night
night night luv
lol dof right when u said that i did that! lol
Another silly old girl, cosdem?
silly old boy
Oops, cosdem!

no8
k, just got it, TY
ep4 and 7
ep** sound of laughter for ep4
Got the 4, ty, and nbt!

ep7 was used to lose weight.
ah thats right

to bury again i think
top right R is re + to bury a corpse
no, that's not it, alas
nope, that's not it, just a sec
it was the first R i found, . . .

but, that helped me with the 10
ah, re6, to tear again, past tense

tyvm Book
yvw, bichon
47 left
taking a break lol
154 here (!)
epinaoi is on my word list and in the grid but game won't take, GRRRR
I'm new here and must say this is tricky! Thanks to Good Enough for getting me hooked!
the letters are in the wrong order bdg
hmmmm, am i close?
i mean to the correct ep7
think of the antihistamine ..
hi and welcome to the most addictive game on the web, ai13!
holy cow i got it, TY wildcat
yw
used to take that stuff, or something that sounded like that stuff . . .
epinaoi, that's the wrod i was trying to spell . . .
(wrod) !
epinephrine
pseudoephedrine was mine drug, till it became a "controlled substance" JERKS
now i take chlorpheniramine maleate, YUM
Isn't that the stuff you squirt into your nose and you can breathe again?
maybe, but i get it in pill form
brand name is "Chlortrimeton"
My doctor told me not to take it cause it isn't helpful and causes a rebound. I've got something good now, Patanese.
speaking of changing the subject, anyone here using MS Word 2009? i ask because I upgraded to it and now I can't find the Sort function, among other things
what is a rebound exactly?
When your symptoms temporariily go away, but reappear with a vengeance.
It's called rebound stuffiness.
Patanase is a newer nasal spray that is an antihistimine and works immediately
hmmm, the pills are over the counter and last for about 3-4 hours. not exactly killing me when they wear off. just allergies
don't need nothing very strong
I have major sinus problems. I use a netti-pot, anihistimine pills, Patanase and a steroidal nasal spray. Good I have medical insurance
sounds pretty serious. i once had a doctor give me a prescription for my allergies and it just made me sleep all day. way too strong
What I really need is to move out of the allergy capital of the world, Connecticut
or wear a mask all day, lol
well don't move to Texas. we must be the 2nd highest allergy capital of the world
plenty of allergens in michigan too
We have the dirty air from NYC scooped up into our river valley alled to all the allergens.
i used to tied a bandana over my nose and mouth to mow the lawn. glad those days are over

O thanks
And the Ep 4?
I'm craving carbs...
te6,24?
ep + short laugh
Just had ice cream bar. willing to give you one. jellen
bh thanks
A frozen fruit bar wouldn't be so bad, would it?
not too too bad jell depending on the fruit
i have gelato
and if they add sugar
I've been craving carbs constantly since the doctor told me yesterday I need to cut back...
They had to point that out
I'll go check...
ah that explains it -- try whole grain carbs
I was at a conference and there was these rabid vegans. I was craving a hamburger something chronic at the end of the talk. I went to McDonalds. Best burger ever
lol i went out and bought a roasted chicken after watching chicken run
ha 6/24 first one?
Jm that is funny. I swear though these guys were really rabid about veganism. There is bad farmers and good farmers. It is all about ethical choices
I love Chicken Run!
and finally
sometime the puzzle seems ha6 and ha6.
Fish me for not seeing gthat
i have rabid vegan neighbors who refuse to come to the neighborhood barbeque even though i have a separate grill for my veggitarian friends
hmm doesn't do it for me
That is nice JM. Sometimes though the meat smells bad though
oh nm
Like everything in life it is all about balance
well i get clogged up around perfume but you do need to live on this planet with other people and other needs
second ha6/24 please

Oh, I'm good right now...

Ok. I tend to go by what I feel like eating
last at7 please
if i did that i would weigh even more than i do
The doctor pointed out that one of my meds increases carb cravings, and I love carbs anyway, which is probably why I've gained weight over the last couple of years...
