thanks, flosey -- my favorites, next to hydrangeas . . . had so many this year I was able to share LOTS with friends -- love it! :-)

12:31 am

we had them in every home we lived in, taken from roots my grandfather had planted when Dad was a kid

12:31 am

oh, how wonderful!

how cool!

12:31 am

I could kick myself for not bringing roots to BC

12:31 am

i've planted all the pink and red ones, but the 3 white ones were planted here by the original owners back in the '50s

12:32 am

I have flowers from my grandmother's and mother's yards -- so special

12:32 am

yes, very, and with many happy memories

I love hydrangeas, too!

12:33 am

Bad Boys with Will and Lawrence... too good!!

it's a Brukheimer film!! has to be awesome

1:08 am

but then, I don't see many movies

1:09 am

I'll watch for it

it is all gusto and guns and humour and yum!

1:12 am

I watched Rob Roy (old movie) last week, someone at the library suggested it! I didn't like it at all, too much anger and violence

this movie is just popcorn guns and trash... that is why it is a guilty pleasure... plus, will smith looks gorgeous in it as does Martin Lawrence.

good music, good effects, good actors, good fun

1:15 am

will watch for it

cool **hugs**

it's from 1995!!

1:15 am

yw

1:33 am

nice to see you BR, haven't seen much of you lately

1:35 am

Good to see you too, flosey. Have been trying to deal with some of the things that haunt me. Med changes are interesting.

1:35 am

oh yes, they sure can be

1:38 am

Do you have flowers and trees with leaves and lush green grass there, flosey?

1:39 am

lots of huge cedars, we have broad leaf maple here

1:39 am

right now all the bulb flowers are blooming

1:40 am

dafs. tulips, hyacinths

1:41 am

rhododendrums are in bloom

sorry, phone call interrupted my babble!

Hi BR **hugs**

1:41 am

hope it was worth the interruption mrp

sure was!! nasty year 9 girls are gonna be in major trouble tomorrow

1:42 am

oh boy!

1:43 am

How nice ... lows in the forties and still waiting for leaves on the deciduous ... more sun and higher temps would be so good for the soul.

I can't believe how much biatching these year 9 girls do!! and other girls stand around laughing at the bullying

1:43 am

Hello, Mr.P

1:44 am

ah, real mean, heartless

1:44 am

Bullying is epidemic and so, so tragic for so many.

1:45 am

so true

too right BR... my daughter knows how to keep them at bay, but then the bully goes for her friends who are not so strong at dealing with it... she just hates that other people stand around and laugh at the bullying and think it is 'cool'... or they are shite scared of the bully and just laugh along so they don't get picked on.

anyone, anyone bully my kids, and they have me to deal with.... and that is not pretty!!

and my favourite french actor is on!! Rene B!!

1:47 am

The world needs more parents like you, mrpresident

1:48 am

are you using a laptop mrp?

thank you BR!!

1:48 am

Have to go ... be well.

1:48 am

indeed so, BR

yes flosey... I live on my bed with my laptop whilst my foot is broken

bye BR **hugs**

1:48 am

Hello all -- I'm baaack!

hi jilli!!! **hugs**

1:49 am

hi jilli, good to see you back

1:49 am

hope you had a great weekend

1:49 am

It was a fun weekend :-)

what exciting adventures did you get up to jilli ??

1:50 am

super!

1:50 am

How about square dancing?

1:50 am

wow, what fun indeed

1:51 am

mrp, I was visiting my son and his family, partly to attend my d-i-l's production of the Merchant Of Venice (with my son's set designs), and partly to celebrate my immient birthday.

darn... phantom sabre

1:53 am

ah, so son also clever artist

1:54 am

also a ballet performance and staying up far too late chatting with my grandson and granddaughter and their opposite numbers, plus a friend of my grandson's who comes from India (their all in their late 20s and early 30s)

oh wonderful jilli!! that is great to have a clever and artistic man in the family... and congrats on yet another year!!

1:55 am

oh yes, flosey -- and an excellent writer too, wasting his sweetness on the desrt air.

1:56 am

and I whould mention the Gallus Brothers band from Bellingham, WA -- huge fun.

1:57 am

And one of the best things is that there's a new route to Mission which is a breeze and cuts the travel time by about half an hour!

1:58 am

My GPS found it for me.

1:58 am

Now I'm going to get myslef a nightcap. Brb.

1:59 am

Gallus Bros. auto harp, guitar, bass?

2:05 am

I'm stuck on one word, ed6, any clues?

2:05 am

No -- guitar(s), mandolin, percussion with washboard, suitcase, tin cans, sticks, whatever edge

2:06 am

wow, I googled the name, perhaps the same, they also seemed to use other noisemakers

2:06 am

I just got and adverb related to a rim...

2:07 am

*an adverb

2:07 am

ty jilli, that did it

2:07 am

fireworks

2:08 am

never would have found it! sounds odd

2:10 am

I'll check Google...woohoo flosey! (And the Goodle entry does sound like them -- I'll check YouTube too)

2:12 am

I like your icon - knew immediately who is was for

2:12 am

hello friends. anyone else sitting up all night with a barfing child, or is that just me?

2:13 am

ah Trif, sorry to hear

2:14 am

good, flosey -- I have one for Sunday too but it's kind of over -- maybe I'll post it later on

hi trif!! been there, done that... don't like it at all! do you have peppermint tea that you can sugar up??

2:14 am

just finished the grid, have been chatting with Jilli and mrp

some maxolon would help too

2:14 am

Poor Trif -- poor child!

2:14 am

thank goodness I have the day off tomorrow! mind you, my plans to super crank on the house and clean it top to bottom are fading fast....

buscopan is also good

2:15 am

the house can wait

poor trif! **hugs**

2:15 am

those names are not familiar to me, mrp, what is it?

2:15 am

I dont have any peppermint tea that I can think of, and I don't know what those other two things are, mrp - other types of tea?

2:16 am

when we were kids, we were given flat gingerale - hate the taste of the stuff to this day

2:16 am

my mother used to have barley water when she was seasick but I thought it was revoldting so wouldn't recommendit.

2:18 am

orange barley water is okay. my kids LOVED drinking that when we were in ireland

2:18 am

I would think anything that makes water palatable would be good to prevent dehydration.

2:20 am

LOLOL - tertiare just asked me if she had to go to school tomorrow, and I playfully asked her "is that why you did this" and she ZINGED back "I can't control this, ElizaBeth!" ----> thinking we are past the worst of it

2:22 am

How oldis she, trif?

2:22 am

11

buscopan is for upset tummy, maxolon is for vomitting

2:23 am

but at least 25 in sass years

I just make my recipe chicken soup and it sorts it all out!!

2:23 am

I see, trif, I see!

2:24 am

are those types of medicine, then, mrp?

2:24 am

mrp, thise things probably have different names here

yes trif... buscopan is over the counter

maxolon is specifically for nausea and got via script

ah yeah, look them up on google to see if they have different names

2:25 am

hmmm. I am thinking we have something like that called compazine

I just know when the runs/vomits start, they help very much

2:27 am

nbt (well, I just started)

2:28 am

one son use to get car sick. gave him baby gravol before starting out on a trip

2:28 am

wtg jilli, that was fast

yes, we give our son a little phenergan for that

or he sits in the front seat with full aircon on him

2:28 am

ty flos

2:29 am

must be same idea, dymenhydrenate?

2:29 am

okay, I am going to try to get some sleep in between fits here. night all!

2:29 am

good luck Trif

2:29 am

gnight trif, and good luck!

nite trif **hugs**

2:30 am

I'm off to bed too, have to get at this mango chutney before they go bad! had company this afternoon when I had planned to make it

2:31 am

goodnight all, see you tomorrow night jilli?

2:32 am

flosey, I had to leave Dave's wonderful curry dinner in a hurry tonight to get the the ferry, and then got there in such a fast time I could have stayed! He is a very good cook -- just another of his talents.

2:32 am

Yes, I pland to be a bridge, flosey

2:33 am

wow, what a shame to miss the curry dinner

2:33 am

oh blast those typos!

2:33 am

see you then

see ya flosey!! **hugs**

2:33 am

bfn

2:34 am

I did get a quick taste of it but they had a b'day cake ready and I had to miss that -- so they gave me the whole thing!

luv a good curry

lucky if you can cook it too!!

2:36 am

it was a VERY good curry, mrp!

D's, B's and A's to go!!

I have pretty much stopped eating... shame cause I used to enjoy it

2:38 am

changed icon for tomorrow, so I'm off now, for real

2:38 am

I'm working from the top down but I like the idea of what you do, mrp

2:38 am

mrp, you mustn't stop eating!

2:39 am

Lovely, flosey, and such a good writeup.

jilli, I have and it is just horrid... so so difficult to eat

2:40 am

can you manage to swallow some of thise canned nutrition things that are like sort of milk shakes?

2:40 am

is this all because of that creep?

2:49 am

good morning!

2:49 am

hi ruby!

2:51 am

why aren't you eating, mrp?

2:51 am

helo jilli

2:51 am

brb -- must get my bedtime snack (baby banana and milk)

2:52 am

mrp seems to have disappeared

2:52 am

maybe a phone call or a visitor

2:52 am

that is perfect for sleeping, jilli, better than drugs

2:53 am

It also seems to prevent leg cramps, ruby

2:54 am

the potassium in the bananas

2:54 am

and the milk for sleeping

2:54 am

I eat a soft-boiled egg on toast for sleeping

2:55 am

yep

2:55 am

that sounds soothing, ruby

2:55 am

but the banana is easier!

2:55 am

oh goody, over halfway

2:56 am

one third for me

2:56 am

hello grandy

2:56 am

hello grandy!

2:57 am

Hello to all.... just popping in... staying up with a cough.. disturbs the hubby

2:57 am

I was driving through Maple Ridge this weekend on my way to Mission. Haven't seen you much here.

2:57 am

On my way back to Salt Spring too...

2:58 am

aah, husband is back with the groceries. See you in a bit, if anybody is here

2:58 am

1/3 so far

2:58 am

No not much... I am usually doing other things or getting imterupted. I pop in when up late like to night. NO one to interupt.

2:58 am

I was wondering what was keeping you up so late

2:58 am

ttfn ruby!

2:59 am

I have had this darn cough for several weeks... my hubby has had the sinus infection, the wee son a cough too. just the virus and the rain. It will all go away soon. the 125 recently in prescriptions will help too.

3:00 am

I think the 125 will be worth it, grandy

3:01 am

Been there, done that.

3:01 am

This "spring" has been so dreary and depressing.

3:02 am

Yes, actually already seeing some relief. Tried evey thing else, neo citran, nyquils, etc... homeopath too. But after a few weeks I just gave in and we all went to Dr. All had something a little differnt though.

3:02 am

Homeopathiid "medicine" is quackery.

3:02 am

The spring is very much like last year only more wet. I just seen on TV that the town of Slave Lake is on fire.. from an out of control wild fire.

3:03 am

I heard that on the news as I was driving to the ferry

3:04 am

The pictures are quite stunning.... over 100 building so far and it is out of control. I can not imagine.

3:05 am

I haven't had the TV on -- was catching the 9:35 pm ferry to Long Harbour and came to Babble almost as soon as I got home.

3:06 am

It is always good to get home and rest in doing something familiar.

3:07 am

but I'm running out of steam now

3:07 am

Ah a long day and a dull ferry ride home... It must be very relaxing in your area

3:08 am

It's lovely here

3:09 am

but I had a great weekend with my family in Mission

3:09 am

Hmm... we spent over 3 months last year in Parksville. going for one week at the end of this month. Looking forward to the ocean peace

3:10 am

Family is why we came back to MR. No family or family doctors over there and we need family support.

3:11 am

I hear Parksville is very nice too -- we looked at it when we were contemplating a move here from the Montreal area but hubby's brother was on Salt Spring, plus other friends, so...but now they've all left and hubby never made it.

3:12 am

oh my.. good to know that you are settled and happy there though.

3:12 am

WE looked at MR too but there wasn't anything available that suited us then.

3:13 am

it really is nice to pick and choose where you want to live. We are happy with our decision. But if most of the family were to move to Parksville because they like it oo... we would likely follow.

3:13 am

Well the brother and friends are now in Victoria -- and one is in Parksville!

sorry, had to go away for a little time with lickety... back now to finish this grid

3:15 am

That is great you can visit and enjoy in many great places and spaces

3:15 am

I have a good life and friends here now after 15 years.

3:15 am

Good to see you MRP

you too grandy **hugs**

3:15 am

this grid is starting to spell things that just are not there.

3:16 am

glad to see you back, mrp -- I had asled if you have tried those nutritious canned milk shake sort of things -- also if your lack of appetitie has been cause by that crepp. You mustn't let him win that way.

3:17 am

Scuse the typos!

yeah, like reassembly!!

3:19 am

mrp i missed something... are you ill?

grandy, check out the bio in my profile... have had a hell of a few months

3:21 am

so can you decipher my questions at 3:16, mrp?

3:23 am

oh my darling... you will go to the top of my prayer list.... keep smiling.. it confuses everyone.

thank you grandy! all the prayers have been working for us! we have been coming through really well and had a lot of luck come our way

still need to deal with court, but that will be in 5 weeks

3:26 am

This grid has my eyes almost closing so will go to bed and cross my fingers not to cough. That "good" cough syrup really works.

3:26 am

I guess you're not going to answer my questions. Anyway -- all the best of luck, mrp, and I have to go to bed now!

and of course a couple of weeks till operation

jilli, what was the question??

3:26 am

see 3:16, mrp!

i see the question

I have been having protein shakes and eating small amounts of dinner that I have made... but I only eat once a day. I need to get 'sustigen' (spelling?) to help maintain my strength

sustagen... sustigen... sustegin... it is hospital grade

3:29 am

basically sustenance in a can. Relax and breathe before eating too

3:29 am

glad to hear about "sustigen" -- another unfamiliar name but I'm glad it exists. You've had SO much stress -- and now the imminent op...wow!

well, the drugs are helping until then, and the weekly visits to psych

I will be claiming it all through the courts for punative damages

3:31 am

may the fleas of a thousand camels infect his armpits.

the broken foot is bothering me the most at the moment! LOL!! and yet I keep working

3:31 am

I second that, grandy!

thank you grandy!! I believe a curse has been put on our family, so am willing to have curses placed elsewhere

thanks jilli **hugs**

3:33 am

heal well, mrp -- and I must go now before my head hits the keyboard...bye for now...*poof*

nite jilli! :)

3:34 am

see ya grandy :)

oooh, found a nice ar4 to describe my stalker

2 left!!

fireworks! yay!!

3:55 am

husband brought back petunias

3:55 am

is anybody still here? I cheat in the borders and windowboxes with perennials

4:00 am

half, yay

unlurks to say hi ruby, can't have you talking to yourself

4:03 am

hi chrissie, thank you.

4:05 am

I'll bet there are people so young on here that they don't know what a bl5/18 is. lol

4:06 am

ruby, I am 29 (again) and I know.... ;)

4:06 am

uh oh, husband wants a drink.....

4:06 am

see you later

bye :)

4:06 am

xx

4:30 am

is granadan still here?

4:31 am

I have just learned that there's a spate of robberies in these little villages on our side of the lake

4:35 am

2

4:38 am

are you new , berri?

can you clue the i for me please

4:42 am

id4/5 something you worship and plural

4:43 am

id4/7 sat by id** wtching, not doing anything

4:43 am

hi jenny

thanks ruby, brilliant - what about the 9?

4:44 am

9 is from the 5, be5/18 biblical term for having children. then, one who does that and plural

4:44 am

you realize, don't you, that I am one of the worst players on here!

well, thats as may be, you have just given me 6 words in two clues!! I shouldn't think many people could do that

4:46 am

but I never finish, except if FM and Crossy help me

also I think I'm hopeless - sometimes I can't even get near to half way.

4:46 am

I'm glad to help

4:47 am

my goals are half way and nbt. That's all. I don't list because I don't see the point

I am English and it annoys me that enable does not allow some quite common English words but it allows other quite foreign ones!!

4:48 am

but the treat, every morning, of looking at a new grid, is good enough for me!

I agree with that I never list (well occasionally when my husband is watching football - too noisy to read!)

4:48 am

We are an hour apart, and the enable choice seem arbitrary tp me; some French words are accepted and many foods, but not all, and I can't see a pattern

4:49 am

and my typing is poopy!

4:49 am

when I give up, I just play lexulous

I don't know France very well - do you live near the centre? I only really know the 1WW battle fields.

what is lexulous

4:50 am

I live one hur south of Geneva and 1 hr 1/2 from Lyon, near to Annecy

4:51 am

lexulous is scrabble but after they resolved the copyright issues

right, I can visulise that

4:51 am

I am Nancy Kelley in FB and my e-mail is in my profile. If you want to play Lex, just friend me with your name and I'll challenge you

4:52 am

in the foothills of the Alps, next to Lake Annecy

I should think it is a good bit warmer there than here in Oxford. Last night we had to put a heater on as it was so cold.

4:52 am

do you have googleEarth

I will make a note of that and try later, I'm supposed to be doing housework at the moment!!!

4:53 am

it is really cold here right now, too, I think my figs will all fall off. We needed heat last night, but don't have much and it would have been too much trouble

Yes I have google earth

4:54 am

housework? haha. I just had a fight with my husband and am hiding in my studio, prior to going out to lunch.

4:54 am

look up Annecy and then travel SE along the lake and find Veyrier du Lac. We are on Route de Morat, a pink house, and you can practically see my dogs in the garden

4:55 am

this is not a strategic area, so goodleEarth comes quite low

My husband has been very ill this last winter, but is now back to moving lawns for old ladies in the village - he's 72 but can't sit still

4:56 am

my husband had a very bad year and a half; heart attack in Sept '09, dog attack in July '10 and pneumonia this winter. He is 85 and also can't sit still. He drives me crazy!

4:57 am

even if you don't want to play scrab, send me an e-mail and we can correspond. You are probably my age....

4:57 am

and I have great photos of dogs, house, mountains and garden

I've been following you on the chog so I do know and understand your problems. I will look up google earth later but I shall have to poof now.

4:57 am

my dogs and garden are my passions!

4:58 am

me too

4:58 am

*poof*

I would love to email you, will do that later too.

6:24 am

Good morning!

6:25 am

Oh no Herin! You've lost your "i"!!!

How you

6:26 am

It's a new day, so for now I am good! You?

6:26 am

Good!

6:26 am

Well, wait....isn't it really late there?

O slept all day

6:27 am

On purpose or are you still not feeling well?

just cause

Ooh- that neo-Barbie doll circa 1966 with the long hair that you could style is in the grid- tr6!

6:48 am

Tr6!!!

6:48 am

bye lady, have a good day/evening :)

You got it!

you too have a great day

6:49 am

I always thought it was kind of weird that you could wind her hair back into her skull.

6:49 am

you mean you never do that to yourself?

Weirder than other Betsy Wetsy?

6:50 am

I'm trying to cut back, Sprite.

Or Chatty Cathy with a trache?

6:50 am

hmmm ok, that is pretty courageous!

I can quit anytime I want to.

6:52 am

And speaking of dolls, Barbie's friend Mi5 is a phantom. Poor Mi5, always living in Barbie's shadow.

Phantom assembly.

6:53 am

((herin)) bye for now

6:54 am

of course, Ken was always a wrong kinda guy... a K-word from birth.

K-word?

6:55 am

yep. Bad things, K-words.

6:55 am

I am glad do 5/16 is in the grid...it was one of my phantoms yesterday!

I'm slow today. Knaidloch?

6:56 am

lol car.ee, wb and indeed.

6:57 am

That is one of those words that is fading into obscurity, sadly. I bet 9 out of 10 twenty-somethings don't know what a do 5/16 is.

6:58 am

phantom: treble

Bring back the do5! Save the civilization!

6:58 am

same goes for an antimaccassar molly

6:58 am

Sure they do! They refer to them all the time on Say Yes to the Dress and Bridezillas and other wedding shows...."Ugh! The lace on this dress makes me look like a do5!"

6:58 am

((Crossy)) good morning

6:58 am

morning Crossy!

6:58 am

good morning everyone

6:59 am

Oh boy- coffee time.

6:59 am

6:59 am

hiya crossy :)

6:59 am

<---- Is glad she doesn't watch Say Yes To The Dress.

6:59 am

That show makes me roll!

7:00 am

today it would be Yes for the Drass

7:00 am

: )

7:01 am

I just realised I don't know that many B-words either. More than K-words, but still.

7:02 am

I can't find the second Y word...I have ye 4/6. Stats for the other please?

7:02 am

yi4/7

7:02 am

7:11 am

tr + your butt

7:11 am

tr5/10

7:11 am

TY! Hmmmm...wonder why I didn't find THAT one!!!

7:11 am

Favorite line from Madagascar 2..."Whos your friend? Or is that just your butt?"

7:12 am

lol

7:13 am

de-bra should be a word...i do it as soon as I get home!

7:13 am

oh yes! First thing!

7:14 am

And then if someone comes to the door, you quickly re-bra.

7:15 am

ohhhh I found the biggies!

7:15 am

hooray!

7:16 am

Its a good feeling, isn't it?!??!

7:16 am

absolutely. Finding them myself without clues is always a kind of victory.

7:19 am

Clue for gi 7 please?

7:20 am

nm! Got it! Thought it was a name!

7:20 am

gi7 rhymes with di7 comic strip office guy

7:20 am

I don't have it yet

7:20 am

Good morning Dan!

7:20 am

which, should also be a word but isn't

7:20 am

Ty1

7:20 am

7:20 am

Thanks Dan and hello

7:20 am

gi O'Sullivan

7:21 am

gi Grape

7:21 am

morning all! shhhhh - button slept 10 hours last night and is back to sleep

7:21 am

((whispers)) Oh good!

7:22 am

and in case you wonder why a name is valid, it is also a unit: the centimeter-gram-second unit of magnetomotive force, equal to 0.7958 ampere-turns

7:22 am

I just looked it up Sprite! Never knew that....Babble is SOOOOO educational!

7:22 am

*breathes very quietly: how wonderful, Dan!*

7:23 am

yes, we took full advantage for once :-)

7:23 am

Dan...you do realize that may mean a growth spurt is coming!!!!!

7:24 am

isn't it just, car.ee :D So many random facts we will never need but know nonetheless!

7:24 am

Babble makes me feel smarter every day!

7:24 am

spurt is possible - at her 12-mo checkup she was top quartile for height, below median for weight

7:25 am

Batten down the hatches! She's going to grow!

7:25 am

I always hated those charts. You are her dad, you know if she is ok!

7:25 am

lol Car.

7:25 am

The birthday card picture is too cute!

7:25 am

but, she also had a very stimulating day yesterday, and was up early with only 2 tiny naps

7:26 am

She is so beautiful Dan! You are truly blessed and this is such a great time in their life!

7:26 am

indeed I am quite smitten :-)

7:26 am

hahaha no wonder, she is lovely

7:27 am

I am torn between listing and finishing up the grid, or stopping for now and coming back later to finish my last 20.....

7:27 am

it's time to find a waterbabies swim class for her - she's started playing peekaboo in the bath, using the water!

7:28 am

Yup, it's time!

7:28 am

we did baby swimming too. They are amazing. They can swim under water without any problem.

7:30 am

I am going to get going. I need to eat before I go to the Y. I hope you all have a great day!

7:30 am

bye car.ee, have a lovely day :)

thanks Trif! It is somber and rainy here, thought we could all use some flower vitamins

7:38 am

somber and rainy here too, good description

7:38 am

flowers are always lovely, sprite. nice and sunny here today although quite chilly (not much above freezing)

7:38 am

it is raining here as well, but the kind of gentle, soaking rain that does the gardens real good. we are just fully leafing out here, so I appreciate the time to work on the house and leave the gardens alone for a day or two

7:39 am

sounds good, Trif.

7:39 am

fireflies! Very nice grid. I wish you all a lovely day and night. *hugs*

7:40 am

Hi Trif

I step away for a minute and the chat comes alive

7:45 am

howdy mom

7:45 am

Mom, Did your Mom find anything at Macy's yesterday for the wedding?

7:46 am

Oh Annie! Did she ever. It is a lovely jacket that doesn't need a top underneath. It is white and silver and looks gorgeous on her.

7:47 am

Mom already had slacks, so she is good to go

7:47 am

Wow, sounds gorgeous. It is such a relief when you find the perfect thing. Good for her and you.

7:47 am

Sounds very pretty Mom.

7:47 am

It is slowing coming together

7:47 am

thanks Molly

7:47 am

wow,make sure to post photos!

7:48 am

and now for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!.....

7:48 am

When Milton Bradley introduced Twister in 1966, critics denounced the game as “sex in a box.”

7:48 am

good morning, oh king of bacon!

7:48 am

howdy trif

7:48 am

Mom, from what you've said, everyone has found lovely things to wear to this wedding.

7:48 am

7:48 am

7:50 am

sorry, mom, popped over to facebook for a few minutes. I am NOT the treasurer. Whew.

7:51 am

lol

7:51 am

you sound relieved

7:51 am

you are better off sue,trust me.that position is like being middle management..you get crap from uphill and downhill

7:52 am

I am. I was a bit miffed at losing the election (for about 23 seconds) but realized that if I had really wanted it I would have given a MUCH better speech :-)

7:52 am

Molly, is it ever. Will spend this Saturday hopefully getting all the loose ends tied up

7:52 am

you had to give a speech?

7:53 am

for about a minute. we are a very informal group.

7:53 am

I would have froze on the spot if that were me.

7:54 am

I need to scoot off here and make some brownies for tonight's library program

7:54 am

see you all this afternoon. ((Hugs))

7:54 am

I've been a professor for 29 years now, mom, if I can't talk at the drop of a hat I am in trouble :-)

7:54 am

8:49 am

Morning all. NBT

8:49 am

howdy bzz

8:50 am

I'd like to reread it myself crossy (and it may be on my reader). the mark twain thing is ridiculous; I understand that the words are offensive now and wouldn't be used in courteous speech, but how will we know why without the historical context?

8:50 am

morning, bea!

8:50 am

indeed,it is not up to us to erase history

8:50 am

and yay for the nbt! now off to breakfast for me!

8:51 am

Breakfast for me too. Eggs or chicken salad? Hmmm...

8:52 am

when i read victorian novels(crossy loves Cpt marryat) i want it all,the lowbrow,the high brow,the unequalities,the creaking of the sails,the stink of the crew,and i want to feet the mist from the spray of the water as a schooner of old tacks around the horn with the bone in her teeth;))

9:12 am

be5/18 is plural

9:12 am

9:12 am

yaa for phae!

the a is past tense. the e is present tense.

9:13 am

i think what we have is the present tense, the "a" spelling is the past tense

9:13 am

indeed ladies ty

9:13 am

snap, rasta! now I really am going to go have breakfast :-)

9:14 am

on a side note,we have a first edition of the king james bible on display here at the ROM.was owned by the founder of a rail company

9:20 am

I am be******* today.

9:24 am

"TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED: Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary" But ar4/6, an obvious abbreviation, is okay. Yeesh.

9:24 am

Got the 8 and 9 and eggs with bacon. Thanks.

it takes a bunch that are clearly abbreviations, like "recon" for instance.

9:28 am

it also accepts AWOL and legit *scoughs*

9:30 am

and linac (a new word for the physics babblets yesterday)

9:30 am

help with bottom e pls

9:31 am

hey all

9:31 am

ed5 i think peri

9:31 am

ad6 I think

9:32 am

9:32 am

ed6

9:32 am

bottom E is plural of the ED4/7 - perimeter

9:33 am

ty Eva, stupid plural. ty ruru and Bzz even tho I had those already

9:34 am

bad grid for me. typing with a splint on left wrist making it difficult :(

9:37 am

bl

9:37 am

ow, peri! hope your wrist gets better! carpal tunnel?

I have always hoped teaset would be one word.

My hopes are dashed.

9:40 am

debe5 sounds like a word to me... remove hair (do't you debe5 mussels?)

9:42 am

you do, kje, but apparently not in Enable-land.

9:42 am

only if you use the new gillette 5 blade razor;)

9:43 am

although Merriam-Webster lists the first use of the word as occurring in 1980, which I find rather surprising

9:43 am

Mussels have whiskers?

9:43 am

they have what is called a be5

I like a man with mussels and whiskers.

9:43 am

Hi Peri. Hope your wrist feels better soon.

9:43 am

crossy envisions a mussel with a 5 o,clock shadow...

I build mussels in the gym.

9:44 am

Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-oh.

9:44 am

http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/uimage s/kitchen/2008_05_07_Mussels1.jpg

Cockeyed and musclebound, my Molly Malone...

9:45 am

crossy gets a 5 o,clock shadow at 4:30...

Somewhere it must be five o'clock...

9:46 am

I'll drink to that!

9:46 am

"if you're preparing mussels, scrape away their beards with a knife and scrub them"

9:46 am

sun is always over the yardarm somewhere

Into the PB with all of you...

9:47 am

Hence, you debe5 them. I say we storm the Enable offices in protest.

No, just Molly- asleep at the wheel again.

9:47 am

any clues for tr 6/30

9:47 am

ok! everone! mussels and bacon vodka for all in the pb!!

9:47 am

I've been in the PB all morning. There is a nacho bar in here.

tr6/30- an adjective, has to do with singing the high notes

9:48 am

My be5 gets br6 if I don't shave before 5 o'clock...

I monkeyed it.

that is, tr6/30, an adverb...

9:48 am

ty rasta

9:49 am

is there an ed 6?, if so is it related to the ed4/7?

yes, again the adverb...

9:50 am

ty rasta

9:50 am

Almost 11:00 here. Oy! I must get busy.

9:51 am

no lickety today?

9:51 am

lickety is up today

9:51 am

60 left. Later! *poof*

9:52 am

has the link to expert chaged again?

9:52 am

raree isn't a word. It means peep show

I know, that one always irks me too. I think it can also be Punch & Judy, or other small street shows.

9:55 am

Not recently, maybe a couple of months ago

9:55 am

Thanks for the adverb hint\n\n \

9:56 am

te

10:00 am

ed6/33???

also an adjective- a way of doing something on the margins.

builds on ad4

10:03 am

Raree is in a gabillion crossword puzzles.

ed4 even.

10:03 am

have to love enable

10:04 am

How about that unit of magnetomotive force!! ???

10:05 am

Magnetomotive sounds like a Sue word. : D

10:06 am

emf?

10:06 am

I found it in the Scrabble dictionary, once I found the damn word...

10:06 am

(which is actually electromotive force, and not a force at all)

10:07 am

Emf sounds like a choking word.

how is there an em?

10:07 am

nope, mmf. not something we really use any more, I don't think.

10:08 am

units of mmf are ampere-turns.

I am confused. What grid are you looking at?

10:08 am

No clue Kap, I'm just playing along

10:09 am

not this one, I don't think, I was just responding to erda

10:09 am

It was about the Gi7,44

10:10 am

To me, it's just a name. Never heard of the force unit.

10:11 am

And now I am singing HMS Pinafore.

10:12 am

huh. well there it is, all right! never heard of it but will add it to the physics babblets (it's a cgs unit so that probably explains it :-)

10:12 am

be 5/14 the one after the biblical reproduction

10:13 am

I prefer thinking of it as Greta Garbo's favorite partner...

10:14 am

be + *** yourself down a spell

10:15 am

ty Molly

10:20 am

ok, the gi7 is in the physics babblets list, along with a brief explanation (although probably not brief enough :-)

10:20 am

oh, and the gi7 finally gave me a 7-letter word so now I have nbs as well as nbt and can go to work.

10:20 am

bbl!

10:21 am

Several names in the grid today. br4, mi4, gi7.

10:29 am

Any clue for be8?

10:30 am

Think of a biblical word that means sire a child. The person is the 8, plural is the 9

10:30 am

one who be5

10:31 am

Kenny, think biblical reproduction

What Adam did to Cain and Abel- he was the first be****** of the Bible.

Great clues.

10:31 am

ooh, ty!

10:32 am

Thanks Mollyl and all.

10:32 am

Poor Seth, no one ever remembers him.

Seth was mousy.

He never got any attention. Hardly any photos of him in the album.

You know how it is wigh the third child.

with, even

10:34 am

Well, considering he was supposedly born when Adam was 130, he may have had some birth defects.

the gys are all related - let me think of how to clue them

Oh I need 79 more so... no idea...what I need.

congrats on completeing Foam.

11:27 am

gy's--allthree related--pretty easy if you look at the points

11:27 am

can you help w the gi7, foam?

11:28 am

The gy's are an alternate spelling of a word normally spelled with an i, that means in sync.

11:28 am

6i7 is a man's name or the last name of the girl who played Laura in Little House

11:28 am

I got them.

11:28 am

gi7 is a mans name

11:29 am

11:29 am

Hello again

11:36 am

Hello Car

11:37 am

Thank goodness! I thought I was all alone! Hi Molly!

11:38 am

It is kind of quiet in here today. I gave the PB a good dusting and vacuuming.

11:38 am

You are so good!

11:38 am

Are you done with the grid?

11:40 am

No, I have a few left. But I milk these small ones so I have something to do on my breaks at work.

11:41 am

Clue for the ye4? I've tried to monkey...but...

11:41 am

ye + 2 of the same consonants

11:41 am

ge6 & 7

11:42 am

Do you need a clue syb?

11:42 am

If you are an achiever people call you a go-ge6. Then plural.

11:42 am

11:42 am

ty

11:42 am

Thanks

11:44 am

Car, are you still here?

11:44 am

Yes, Scrabs! I just came back. How are you today?

11:44 am

How is Zach?

11:46 am

He is hanging in. I gave him an Allegra yesterday afternoon and that did quiet the cough down a bit. I gave him the cough medicine with codeine at bedtime and he slept really well. I will be picking him up from school in 45 minutes.

11:46 am

This morning I saw 3 kids with seasonal allergy-induced nose/chest symptoms.

11:47 am

Ugh.

11:47 am

FIREWORKS!

11:47 am

Every year can be so different with allergen production. This season has started out bad.

11:47 am

Yahoo Car!

11:49 am

I am really hoping that they cancel sports this afternoon! It is cold and drizzly and I really don't want the boys out in this weather...or myself!

11:49 am

We have had rain since Fri evening and it will continue this week.

11:50 am

Yup. all week.

11:50 am

help w the se 5/10?

11:50 am

A department store with a famous catalog...SE***

11:51 am

It is a plural of the se 4/5 just before it

11:51 am

wow, i can't believe i missed that! i'm so bad w plurals. ty!

11:52 am

I miss plurals all the time.

11:52 am

My youngest never had a problem with seasonal allergies. Then last year, at age 18, he started having a mild problem. Nothing eye drops and Allegra can't handle though.

11:52 am

Hi Molly. Yep, we use nasal sprays (steroid or antihistamine) and eye drops.

11:53 am

And Scrabs, our weather is the same as yours.

11:53 am

It just makes me sluggish mentally and physically.

11:54 am

3rd i on right? I have id4 and id5 (plural)

11:54 am

I think that is why I am still so tired.

11:54 am

Sitting id4/7 by

11:55 am

As in doing nothing

11:55 am

I am still looking for words. How lame am I?

11:55 am

TY, and there is an example of my sluggish brain.

11:55 am

Relax, Car. You're done.

11:55 am

I want to keep playing!!!!!

11:56 am

You need to find some other word puzzles and games.

11:56 am

guess I will go make lunch instead. Then off to get Zack. I should be cleaning, but I just don't feel like it.

11:56 am

Have a great day all!

11:57 am

I actually love crossword puzzles but I tend to sit and do them all day!

11:58 am

I did the necessary cleaning over the weekend but didn't attack the other projects

11:58 am

Bye Car

12:03 pm

12:03 pm

12:04 pm

I really wish my boss would go back to eating salads. The Weight Watchers Italian things she heats up smell like puke.

12:04 pm

I must stop ignoring them then

12:05 pm

I just found 5 quickly in that mass

12:05 pm

1:02 pm

1:09 pm

loyalty and honor, we proudly bring, alma mater Chatworth, we proudly sing, alma mater Chatsworth all hail to thee!

1:19 pm

Okay, I'll take a "fail" on this pass/fail quiz. I was not all that into my high school. No clue what the words to the song was. Probably something about how we would all become nuns.

1:21 pm

we never learned our actually school song, but i know our "fight song" was to the tune of "On Wisconsin"

1:21 pm

lol Molly! My bro went to a different HS (I was at the all-girl Catholic school) and the kids at his school came up with an 'alternate' song: Cheers, cheers to old Fairmont High, you bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye! Send all freshmen out for gin, don't let a sober senior come in!"

1:24 pm

Now THAT'S a school song worth remembering.

1:27 pm

our fight song was "charlie buffalo he's our guy; charlie buffalo how i sigh; when I see a buffalo in gold and blue; charlie buffalo, its you!"

1:28 pm

all the music to our songs were original and written by the band director Mr. Seastrand

1:28 pm

oh, jmc -- I can hear today's kids putting a new spin on that song! lol - brb - phone

1:29 pm

??? something about buffalos i don't know??

Afternoon Babblers, and Hi Again Molly!

1:38 pm

Still sad panda Red?

Yup. I'm just not really excited about the upcoming surgery. very sad panda.

1:39 pm

(((Red)))

but I will have a lot of time to babble. ha ha.

1:39 pm

surgery?? did i approve of this??

:D

1:40 pm

what is this surgery?

I have to have my hip repaired. I am not pleased about it, but I get to grow up and have it done. its the after that is really scary.

But if the rapture occurs on the 21st, then I do not need it.

1:43 pm

good luck with that red, and if the rapture occurs, I'll take care of your panda for you, cause I'll certainly still be here :)

Excellent! I am however, the Sad Panda. If the rapture occurs, I will be a happy panda, but I have my doubts that anyone could figure out the exact intentions of the divine.

this grid so far seems really much nicer than usual.

1:45 pm

yes - got nbt and 50% in no time

3:08 pm

clues, anyone?

3:11 pm

hi what do i do this is my first time

3:13 pm

It's a cross between boggle and scrabble. You enter words where the letters are touching like boggle, but the leeter values are like scrabble

3:14 pm

Also don't put complete words into this chat log as this is used for chatting and giving clues only. Enjoy - it's addictive!

3:29 pm

yay for the 8/9 without clues or help :)

3:32 pm

That's always fun Cos.

4:17 pm

ty cos

4:17 pm

no Nan. he announced he would not run.

4:18 pm

too bad!!! -- he could be another sarah ;)

4:18 pm

this actually gives sarah a chance to come back in the spotlight with both huckabee and trump out.

4:20 pm

then there's Newt . . . ugh

4:21 pm

newt has no chance. the nominee will be either mitt romney or mitch daniels

4:22 pm

I wouldn't think anyone would make the mistake of putting her on the slate again -- At least I hope not!

4:22 pm

a flip flopper or the man who oversaw the federal budget under GW Bush. Obama has got to be smiling.

4:22 pm

dont underestimate the idiocy of american voters, nan :)

4:22 pm

that's the angle I was getting at with trump -- no contest for obama

4:22 pm

oh, I think Palin's out for sure

4:23 pm

Palin wont drop out. not til fall. she needs the attention. but eventually she'll opt out for sure.

4:23 pm

she should be treated like any other troll

4:23 pm

because once she drops out the media ignores her and focuses ont he ones running and god forbid sarah gets ignored :P

4:24 pm

(sorry just got an email from a student who has been away from class since Jan 28, except for two days, wondering why he got an F)

6:30 pm

actress Al*** Milano from Who's The Boss

6:30 pm

hi kje

6:30 pm

OMG dorens that's terrible

6:30 pm

Lil, careful how you use the term "hook up". People will talk. : P

6:31 pm

oh you're so right, Molly :)

6:31 pm

oh you're so right, Molly :)

6:31 pm

it's a generation thing molly

6:31 pm

ty!

6:31 pm

dcseain is already hooked up with someone anyway

6:31 pm

people will not suspect dc

6:32 pm

Next thing you know there will be rumors in Babbleonia about a torrid Dorens/DC hook up. : P : P Joking folks.

6:32 pm

HA! That would be really funny

6:32 pm

hard to suspect dorens either...

6:32 pm

teehee

6:32 pm

FW!

6:32 pm

i have inspired many a ridiculous rumor ... in fact one even did take place on my high school washington trip. back in '67

6:33 pm

You know how it goes on those school trips. The chaperones are usually the ones who get wild. (I am so bad)

6:33 pm

don't forget, i'm a redhead... target of much speculation

6:33 pm

yay kj!

6:33 pm

oh do tell, dorens

6:33 pm

Dorens! Sister Redhead. We are the wild ones.

6:33 pm

LOL @ Molly

6:33 pm

are redheads known to be bad?

6:34 pm

Shamelessly kje.

6:34 pm

Oh no! Not one but TWO fire crotches in da house

6:34 pm

I thought it was blodes that started rumors

6:34 pm

not me and monkey of course... we are angels, but other blodes

6:35 pm

just a boy telling everyone that he had 'done it" with me. was not true. but he had been teased by a more sophisticated colleague and told that i was a likely one to try (hung out in greenwich village with those beatnik types). he was too embarrassed to say i'd turned him down, so......

6:35 pm

you are blonde?

6:35 pm

Oh my. Water ALL OVER the monitor. Thanks Lil.

6:35 pm

blonde have more fun, but redheads are sinful!!!

6:36 pm

dishwater i winter lighter in summer, yes

6:36 pm

@Molly, I can't remember how that term got started, but it was to describe Lindsay Lohan

6:36 pm

can't tell you how many men have confessed that they always harbored a secret yearning to have a redheaded woman... some kind of mystery they believe

6:37 pm

never heard that before (fire crotch).. sheltered life up here in the woods

6:37 pm

i have heard that dores... lucky you ; )

6:37 pm

I think men have this fantasy that redheads are wild crazy kinky in bed

6:37 pm

redhead= passion.. they think. me, I'll never tell ;)

6:37 pm

*Waits for the Babble Gestapo to step in and censor*

6:38 pm

I don't think there's a censor here...

6:38 pm

OK, must get some work done... hagn all

6:38 pm

*Joking*

6:38 pm

shh !!! they aren't here molly

6:39 pm

You know, for the longest time, when someone said "hagn all" I thought they were misspelling "hang". I'm not partial to abbreviations.

6:39 pm

dorens what will you & your 8th graders do in DC?

6:39 pm

LOL @ Molly

6:39 pm

What's with the @ sign Lil?

6:40 pm

I'm just saying I was laughing at what u said, Molly

6:40 pm

if I just put LOL, you wouldn't know what I was laughing at

6:41 pm

much too much for that short a time. wed afternoon, smithsonian, then vietnam, wwII and some other war memorial. dinner at reagan place.. then lincoln, jeff, roosevelt. thursday was supposed to be white house, arlington, capitol, etc. some dinner theater that nite, and then next morning to hershey park, then back home

6:41 pm

DC is a great trip for kids. Lots of interesting things to see. My husband was from Canada and he was like a kid when he went downtown.

6:41 pm

Oh Lord Dorens, bring your walking shoes.

6:42 pm

yes it really should be lots of fun (@ molly)--but exhausting and weather doesn't look good

6:42 pm

wow Dorens, that will be fun... the Vietnam Memorial is very sad :( I was there for the groundbreaking ceremony in the 80s, and then again for the dedication ceremony

6:42 pm

Yes, bring your umbrella too.

6:43 pm

i have very very comfy walking sandals and they will come in handy. yes, vietnam is, and i had a favorite cousin whose name is there. we used to write back and forth a lot. very sad for me

6:43 pm

i was wondering about umbrella tho... with that much walking, hooded rain jacket might be easier

6:43 pm

dorens, you can making a tracing of your cousin's name on the wall to keep

6:44 pm

haha there was just a question about the Lincoln Memorial on Jeopardy

6:44 pm

i know... i've seen his name there before, never thought about doing the tracing, but might do it.. in fact that reminds me I should go now and look him up so i can go right to the section... we were told today to do that, since our time schedule will be so tight when there

6:44 pm

Yep, a hooded rain jacket would be better. I can't do sandals in rain. Don't like my feet slooshing around.

6:45 pm

good idea, dorens... there are volunteers there to help do a tracing , actaully it's a "rubbing"

6:45 pm

They have a directory there Dorens.

6:45 pm

wow, that was fast... i got him

6:45 pm

yes you're right about that, Molly

6:46 pm

that is true about the sloshing... but i find thm so much more comfy than sneakers. guess i should bring both

6:46 pm

dorens, hope u have a wonderful time... I must run now. Night evvyone!

6:47 pm

If you have time (which it sounds like you won't) take them across the street to the statue of Einstein. It's awesome.

6:47 pm

bye monkey. and yes, i'd love to see that molly. hope we ca

6:50 pm

Hello all -- I wish I could go on with this one but it's bridge night and I can't. I have 100 words (got them last night when I got home) but no time today. It seems like a nice grid for a change.

6:50 pm

oh too bad jili. yes it does seem nice.. i'm down to 23. well, at least you'll enjoy bridge

6:51 pm

I hope I'll enjoy bridge! You never know!

6:52 pm

presumably you enjoy whether you win or not ??

6:52 pm

I'm behind in icons, I know, and will post the Sunday one now instead of the flower one for Monday -- just because I found it interesting.

6:53 pm

so will you do flower tomorrow then?

6:53 pm

I enjoy bridge, yes, whether my partner and I win or not, BUT... some games are more fund than others, depending on the cards you get and how well you communicate.

6:54 pm

that makes sense. do you usually partner with the same person?

6:55 pm

That sounds like a good idea, doren -- a flower one for me tomorrow. Then I'll catch up. But it looks as if we're running out of themes.

6:55 pm

hi again, all, here for a couple of minutes before House starts (and the plumber comes back, sigh)

6:56 pm

Yes, we have regular partners most of the time.

6:56 pm

hi sue. no jili we could never run out of themes.. could just recycle... ?

6:56 pm

Hi sue.

6:57 pm

hi, dorens and jilli!

6:57 pm

Well, it's up to sprite, who posts the themes. Maybe some more people could suggest some...(hint hint)

we have themes?

6:57 pm

maybe she's getting ready to send it over to someone else? i haven't done themes in a while (too lazy) so don't know how i dare suggest them

6:58 pm

hi, kap! I have my own personal themes :-)

6:58 pm

See my profile, Kap. Yes, there are icon themes every day. Sprite collects suggestions and posts them. I copy them here because she is in such a different time zone. Flosey copies them too.

6:58 pm

hi kap. sometimes they really are kind of fun. jili does them best tho, and she always has an interesting story to go along with the theme

How did I miss this in the last year and a half?

Where have I been?

6:59 pm

oh my goodness.. just checked profile. on the 17th i'll be in DC on class trip so might not be babbling.. happy prebirthday jilly

6:59 pm

I enjoy them -- it's fun to google them and find the info and a matching image.

7:00 pm

Thank you, doren, and have a great time in DC. I'll never forget being taken there as an 8-year-old Brit kid who had never been to the USA.

7:01 pm

are we talking the 17 th as in tomorrow??

7:02 pm

Kap, I guess you never clicked on my icons! Or if you did, you didn't read the profile so didn't realise.

7:02 pm

The 17th is Tuesday, yes.

7:02 pm

<--- plans to remember that tomorrow is Jilli's birthday if that is the case

7:02 pm

oh, i'm all messed up then... actually leaving on the 18th, but so much to do on the 17th Yes, DC is an awesome trip for kids

7:03 pm

down to 22 but House is on, bbl!

7:03 pm

fw! any clues needed?

7:04 pm

Kap, if you use BabbleExpert, Lickety used to post a link to Icon Themes in "Resources", but it leads to someone (Babbler, in the UK) who doesn't do them any more. She does, however, give a link to Sprite's page. So do I.

so many things to think about...it taxes my brain

7:06 pm

Must go now and post Sunday's icon (Danbo). I had to find out what that was all about!

8:07 pm

The medical term stroke comes from the 16th century, when a person suffering a cerebral hemorrhage was thought to have been hit by “the stroke of God’s hand.”

8:09 pm

gy

8:10 pm

7 left, all t's

8:10 pm

gy stands for nothing but hitting the wrong button or a stroke of bad aim.

8:10 pm

5 t's here

8:14 pm

8:20 pm

so TO was saying there was a new physics babblet in the grid but she left without telling me which word it is! Looking now...

8:21 pm

sy4? is that it?

8:22 pm

no, that seems to be a Guinean coin.

8:22 pm

I did add gi7...

8:23 pm

that was a new one to me

8:23 pm

di4/5 is a chemical compound but I don't usually add chemicals (partly because I often don't recognize them :-)

8:24 pm

oh, maybe it's the ra4/5.

8:28 pm

ok, ra4/5 is in the physics babblets now too :-)

8:31 pm

gi7 is a physics term? i thought he was Sullivan's partner!

8:31 pm

hi all

8:31 pm

well, as a physics term it's not a proper noun, so legal for the grid.

8:35 pm

All for me. I'm leaving 32 words for posterity. Have a lovely evening. Stay dry.

8:37 pm

hi jmc, night stidgmere

8:39 pm

my computer is dying

8:40 pm

8:42 pm

8:43 pm

10:55 pm

11:13 pm

heehee

11:14 pm

how are you pini? did your daughter come back after day 1?

11:15 pm

how many words did you make?

11:15 pm

I'm new

11:15 pm

Hi Shari...welcome

11:16 pm

ty

11:16 pm

...there are 152 words in this grid; however, it will flip to a new board in about 45 minutes...then you'll have 24 hours to find all of the words in the new puzzle...

11:16 pm

There are 152 today ..

11:16 pm

oy vey

11:17 pm

oh, I see where it says that now, lol

11:18 pm

the Tile Stats below the grid indicate the number of words coming from that partcular tile in the grid (i.e., the upper left T is T 0/2 (which means you need to find 2 words starting with a T from that tile))

11:18 pm

The Word States indicate the number of words of that word length (i.e., there are 74 4-ltr words)

11:19 pm

ahh, thank you

11:20 pm

hi pini and les :)

11:20 pm

bbl for flip, need a sleep!!

11:21 pm

hey mr. p

11:21 pm

If you're interested in using an aide to assist you, you can open Lickety's Babble Clues (link below the Tile Stats under Friends of Babble); right mouse on it and open it in a new window and put it and the grid side-by-side); the list will give you the first 2 letters of each word, it's length and point value)

11:21 pm

hi mrp ;)

11:21 pm

can still get another short nap in, mrp...we still have 40 minutes ;)

11:22 pm

oh ok, I'll do it on my own, but thanks

11:22 pm

If you hear people talking about 'the list'...that's what they're referring to ;)

11:22 pm

ok, thanks

11:24 pm

hope all that helped....good luck! :)

11:24 pm

thank you, you are a big help

11:26 pm

(last note: beware of flip, ppl will call out 'clues'...i.e., be5, gi7, etc.); those are hints on words found w/o going to the list...and sometimes they help in getting your eyes to 'see' things) :)

11:27 pm

is the sy4 a fish?

11:27 pm

I only need 8 more words

11:28 pm

not really, but it sounds like another word for goofy

11:28 pm
