bye cos -- is it a stinky grid?

12:20 am

it's boring

No, actually.

Yeah, that it was.

12:21 am

nothing over 7 - I hate it when it's like that

Agreed.

12:21 am

Neazle has finished already as usual?

Neazle never tells. :P

[new policy]

12:21 am

Well, I don't like long words, so there.

Geez Laura... look what you started?!

Ok fine... give them all to us.

12:22 am

"that it was" is a dead giveaway

Oh, that could just mean I'm near the end.

12:22 am

What did I do?

12:23 am

well, I'm just at the beginning -- had to get an angel icon

12:23 am

You did Neazele, Laura

But yeah, it's small and not too difficult. I really want a nice big 400+ word grid with a lot of nice long words in it.

You've started something Laura. Now jilli calls me that all the time.

12:24 am

:P

12:24 am

I think I'll skip that one if it arrives, lol!

Oh it never does... as much as I keep hoping.

12:25 am

Uh, hi and goodnight then, nan.

12:26 am

12:36 am

not sure if it even is a word...but ideologue anyway

Not sure either but "videolog" may be... not sure about that being all one word though.

12:37 am

boohoo -- I wanted eulogied but Enable didn't

Yes, I was seeing that as a phantom too!

12:37 am

eulogia too

Yep.

Except the A is nowhere close enough.

Everything else is though.

12:38 am

well, my defintion's probably a little looser - I consider some that have just one letter off, even if it's not in the grid

12:39 am

Is this thing full of babblets and such?

Oh, ok.

Not sure... don't know all the words that are considered "babblets".

12:40 am

I think it is Jilli, have 35 left and stumped

12:40 am

I think it's those with a certain ratio of frequency in grid, to frequency in usage

I don't call any of them that because they're all legit words found outside of Babble... I run into them in Word Racer, Letterblox, Boggle, etc.

12:40 am

Like "inia", where the ratio is pretty insane

I guess, but I haven't Babbled long enough to know which those would be.

12:41 am

ty diz -- I keep finding partial words

I see. Actually my name is too... but Enable doesn't like it. :P

12:41 am

simple words like di 4 etc

My name has been in several of these grids lately.

12:42 am

well, babblets to me are obscure words usually only found in puzzles and totally useless in conversation. But some, like "inia", are frequently popping up here and we get used to them.

12:43 am

Could I have the stats for a U word, please?

Oh ok... well, there's the needlecase.

12:43 am

I don't call them "babblets" because as neil says, it's not specifically something related to Babble

ur5,12

ur7,40

ur5,12 again

GMTA, grem.

12:44 am

well, it's nicer to call them babblets rather than ruder names which they deserve imho.

12:44 am

hehe

12:45 am

Thanks, Neil.

12:45 am

nbt

12:45 am

My mind always organize them by letter patterns rather than meaning, so I've never had particular difficulty finding them relative to more common words, once I know them.

Oh? Why call them rude names? The fun of this is learning some of these "strange" and uncommonly used words, isn't it? Improves one's Scrabble game and other word games. ;)

12:45 am

wtg jellen

You're welcome Jellen.

12:46 am

I enjoyed learning the definition of footle in the last grid...

12:46 am

that applies to you and grem and dfm and chuggaboom and so on, neil, not to Dull Normals likeme.

Huh, jilli?

12:47 am

For me the tough ones are sometimes those with 3+ vowels in a row

12:48 am

words like footle are fun, but there others like some of the obscure coins from obscure countries which just annoy me -- but that's just my problem.

12:48 am

toea!

You want all easy grids with only very commonly known words in them? What fun would that be? I love learning new and interesting words I can use in other word games... the more of these games and puzzles you do, the more you pick up and add to your vocabulary.

I love that word, gremlinn!

12:48 am

yes!

I pull that out in Letterblox and my opponents accuse me of cheating, haha!

12:48 am

Fit as both a 3+ vowel example *and* an obscure coin example.

12:49 am

Letterblox? What is it?

Oh they accuse me of that anyway... despite the fact I'm typing from the moment the game starts until it ends. Yeah, sure... when did I have time to "cheat"?

12:49 am

Lickety isn't up?

12:49 am

You see, I used to prefer British cryptic crosswords because most of them use only "real" words.

It's a game on OMGPOP, Erda... word finding game. There's a link to join in my Babble profile.

12:50 am

No, hoot.

Oh I see, jilli.

12:50 am

I'll check it out, Neil -- thanks!

12:50 am

wow - anything wrong ?

12:50 am

I can make a profile list if it would help

You should, Erda... if you have a very fast typing speed?

12:51 am

whew...finallly found the 4th a word. *my brain hurts*

12:51 am

please 16 to go and I want a free day tomorrow

Oh that would be a good idea, gremlinn.

You have more room in your profile than I do. ;)

Mine's kind of... uh, full.

12:52 am

thanks grem -- that always helps

12:52 am

you have more room than you think neil - I've put 300* words list in mine

a4,4,5,5

12:53 am

I think it grows to fit

I have probably several times that now, hootowl. :P Check it out.

Might keep you busy and amused for a while.

So maybe save it for after the grid, haha.

12:53 am

you make me sound like a puppy

No! I'm making a joke because of how much I've stuffed into it already.

12:54 am

okay, list in my profile

And it's... well, it sure made ruru laugh.

12:55 am

Thanks so much, grem!

12:55 am

How many words today please

12:55 am

93

12:55 am

Thanks

12:55 am

I had lost the regex I used before so it took a minute or two to rewrite it

12:55 am

I'm laughing too. Read most of it before. Nice to have someone on my side!

12:56 am

Thank you grem! I'll even forgive you for stealing my ec word!

Oh hey, good to hear the same, hootowl. :)

There are many here that are.

mrp will need to wake lickety or I'll never finish

12:57 am

I know - some are afraid they'll insult people and others don't want to hear us. Guess it's even

12:57 am

brb

12:57 am

hehe, don't remember stealing words...

Haha, well I'm a political writer and have articles and blogs online, so I'm used to just putting my opinions right out there. I do it on Twitter too and sure, I get flamed but that's life.

12:58 am

vanilla, grem's list will help -- put him in your "My Friends"

12:58 am

Ah, the ec was just when someone asked for stats for a word on that letter

ty

I'm not too worried about the opinons of anyone who would disagree with that, you know? You can't please everyone.

12:59 am

Good night all...

Oh, good night Jellen... sleep well.

1:00 am

gnight jellen

grem you're even more beautiful now....ahh Jil did you say 'him'?

1:01 am

Yeah, I absorb all the girls I touch - I've been doing a lot of groping lately.

you grope in the right places ... mm that doesnt sound quite right

I thought you were a girl at first, gremm.

1:05 am

It's the double N, yeah.

Or woman I should say.

Haha, vanillaslice... well it might to him. Sounds like a compliment to me.

1:06 am

Some people have thought "Linn" was my name from that.

No, it's the icons you use. Plus you don't specify your gender.

Well yeah, that could be too.

1:06 am

Heheh

I guess you like to be mysterious?

1:07 am

Yep

1:07 am

fireworks listless

Hi and congrats, dart! :)

1:07 am

Or I'm just an internet weirdo...

1:07 am

hey neil

If you say so?

1:08 am

Not sure there even is a list yet

I might be weirder than you. Never know.

I don't think there is.. Lickety always announces it when he posts, doesn't he?

1:08 am

I guess it's conceivable.

1:08 am

didn't you say that you put one in your profile?

1:09 am

Ah yeah, I have one.

1:09 am

hi dart

1:09 am

I usually have one too

1:09 am

I haven't for a long time before today because Lickety's been so constant with it.

fireworks thanks to she who after all is a he but you'd never tell

1:10 am

hi jilli

1:15 am

congrats vanilla

ty Ji;, must fly see you all later

1:16 am

bye vanilla

1:16 am

congrats vanilla! :o)

1:16 am

(and bye!)

hi and nbt

You have email, hootowl.. if you're here to see this. Sent you an article of mine and video footage I shot at a protest... think you'll enjoy it.

Congrats, vanillaslice!

1:18 am

hi and wtg josh

And hi Josh.

1:19 am

phantom: hogtie

1:19 am

yep, first thing I saw!

1:19 am

you're in the grid, mixi :-)

1:19 am

Even the G sort of looks like a 6

That she is! I'm in there a lot too.

1:20 am

I are, I are.

I'll be surprised if "gremlinn" ever shows up in one. But it could I'm sure.

1:21 am

I have seen it at least once on another site - probably not here.

Oh yeah?

1:24 am

either Word Racer or Wordsplay

You play Word Racer too, gremlinn? I'm an addict... love that game!

1:24 am

I used to, haven't for a few years

I play in Social Lounge 7 at table 1 most often... sometimes table 2-4, depending which one my regular gang of buddies is at. If you go into that lounge and see "baha254" and "dheval_de_trait", they're the hosts of the table/s I play at.

1:26 am

want to play a little now?

Well my Yahoo ID is "negative_neil" with an underscore if you want to add me on that messenger? Yeah, that would be fun... but give me a few minutes. Need to run to the washroom first! BRB

Ok, I'm back... you still here grem?

1:36 am

yeah, I'm there too

Ok, cool. How do we connect there then? I'm just logging into Yahoo's website.

1:38 am

SL7, table 1

Ok. Do you have a good backdoor links page for the Yahoo Games' lounges? If not, here's one: http://games.amishdonkey.com/word _racer/

1:40 am

No, what's that do?

Oh and do you play "fives"? [only entering words 5 letters or more in length]

1:40 am

Yeah, usually

1:41 am

I think I remember baha

1:41 am

the name, anyway

Oh yeah? She's fun... very nice woman.

A real word nerd like us.

1:44 am

hi neil and grem.. late arrival for me

1:47 am

They are word racing, rururocks.

1:48 am

oh .. thanks.. thought they were here

1:50 am

pretty boring grid and chat tonight

1:52 am

Yeah I think a few people found the grid boring.

1:53 am

it's okay. I'm so out of it today anyway

1:55 am

Yeah, me too, kinda.

Clues are up

2:06 am

thank you lickety

2:06 am

I' am sure I'll need them

2:07 am

ty lickety, and ty for Expert - I've just started using it

2:07 am

Just got back from doing some emailing -- so glad to see Lickety -- thanks!

2:09 am

But it's bedtime for me now -- hope to have a bit of time tomorrow although I have my library job to do again.

2:09 am

hi jilli

2:09 am

Hi and bye, ruru!

2:09 am

2:10 am

Goodnight all ---- *poof

Hi ruru. Missed jilli's departure I guess?

oops, looks like I missed you both.

2:47 am

Whoa, less than 100, good chance I'll finish the puzzle. Extra point!

2:56 am

Oh! One of my favorite words is on the puzzle, et 4/5, case for a needle.

3:12 am

is it raining there, sprite?

6:21 am

cats and dogs

6:22 am

we had a big storm last night (poor Ruby, had to be wrapped in one of my shirts to settle down), but now it's just softly raining

6:22 am

is Terra afraid of thunder?

6:23 am

we have had thunderstorms for the last 2-3 days. No, terra couldn't care less. He is not afraid of anything, I think.

6:23 am

gm

6:23 am

morning kje

6:23 am

Max, in his soprano voice, barks at it but doesn't seem afraid. Ruby trembles all over

6:24 am

hello kje, are you still enjoying rain?

6:24 am

the rain is over

6:24 am

but it did rain nice and hard for a couple hours!

6:25 am

yay for TX rain!

6:25 am

you needed rain, if I remember correctly, didn't you, kje?

6:26 am

yes... this hardly makes a dent in the 1 year drought conditions, but does take the immediate fire risks down considerably

6:27 am

*sends dutch thunderstorms over to kje*

6:27 am

it's funny in this grid, rii6 and vi6 are spelled the English way

6:27 am

ty sprite

6:28 am

6:34 am

merci, sprite

6:34 am

i am not a geerally punitive person, so i would say no

6:34 am

hmm, generally punitive, serious stuff!

the up side is that i spend 3 to 4 days each week in Edinburg, VA in a real house with real walls and a kitchen

8:08 am

lol I just called the chinmey sweep last week as much as I hate to think about the winter ahead

8:09 am

hmm 93 painful words i think

8:09 am

I used to have a chimney sweep who showed up wearing a black top hat. He was a trip. Alas, he retired.

8:10 am

And a funny story. We were outside The White House, giving some friends the DC tour. Dan said to the guard, "So, those guys on the roof...snipers?" The guard winked and replied, "Chimney sweeps."

evening all :)

8:10 am

neat molly--my chimney is a fake chimney that houses my gas heater vent--this time of year the guys from WV start showing up trying to sell me fire wood

i didn't finish yesterdays grid GDI! but this looks reasonable

8:11 am

good evening ((MrP))

8:19 am

molly i have a question to ask you

8:20 am

*Listens attentively*

8:20 am

i read you saying in the chog that you hated abbreviations and shortened names so i need to know if it bothers you when i call you molls

8:21 am

i am a great believer that people should be called what they want to be called

8:21 am

No not a bit. More people call me that or Moll than Molly. : )

8:22 am

good to to know! :-)

8:22 am

Nice of you to ask though. : )

8:22 am

*draws line through item on list of things to do*

8:23 am

*picks up voodoo doll that looks like JMC which Molly dropped......

8:23 am

well anyone who has spent 40+ years going by initials is got to be somewhat sensitive to the issue that people should be called what they want to be called.

8:24 am

hey!

8:24 am

That is the reason I didn't name my son Michael, didn't want him to be called Mikie or Mike

8:24 am

*hides doll*

8:24 am

gotta scoot. dishes to do, and I am going out with my mom today. ((hugs)) to all of you

Good morning friends

8:57 am

Good morning All

8:58 am

Good day to all.

8:59 am

The CBS morning show is featuring a photographer that takes great pics of homeless dogs in order to get them adopted, and it works!

8:59 am

I'm watching that too Scrabs.

9:00 am

good morning everyone:)

9:00 am

That is such a nice story to see. I hope it catches on.

9:00 am

Crossy! So is today a bacon breakfast day?

9:00 am

hi Crossy, you were an icon clue yesterday.

9:01 am

nope,today is a boiled egg,a toasted bagel with three fruit maralade,half a banana and orange juice day

9:01 am

marmalade

9:01 am

Yay for you. Great choices.

9:02 am

Mornin', Babblers. Time to restart the server. Hold on to your hats. We should be back online in a couple mins.

9:05 am

And we're back!

9:05 am

yaaa

9:05 am

Did we go? I was going to say hi but decided to wait...

9:06 am

anyway, good morning, all!

9:06 am

howdy sue

9:06 am

Hi Sue

9:06 am

hi, crossy and hego!

9:06 am

Crossy

9:07 am

howdy hego

9:07 am

hmmm, entering words seems a little odd. Maybe I should refresh.

9:07 am

hi all, anyone else in uk having trouble entering words?

9:08 am

mmm,my word list will mot load and it will not take mica or mice

9:08 am

did you notice your wolf was in the grid yesterday, Crossy?

9:08 am

my whole list is gone!

9:08 am

better hit it again dr_g

9:08 am

i did indeed hego

9:08 am

My words are not going in

9:08 am

maybe the reboot is still in progress? I get a mysql error when I try to reload...

9:08 am

line says i've already entered words when i haven't...??

9:09 am

I got that too, zoom

9:09 am

me as well

9:09 am

the words are in but not showing

9:09 am

any ideas how to solve?

9:09 am

give that server a slap dr_g

9:10 am

no I typed a word I know I didn't have (since I am just starting) and it said I already had it

9:10 am

dr_g is making adjustments zoom

9:10 am

good

9:10 am

anyway I would say wait a few minutes and try again, dr god already said he was rebooting

9:11 am

thanks...will go and play with gorgeous granddaughter for a while...see you later:)

9:13 am

I seem to have alll the words already. lol

9:13 am

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

9:13 am

Hi car

9:14 am

patience all dr_g is making server adjustments

9:14 am

I wonder if I finished?

9:14 am

howdy car

9:14 am

ty Crossy

9:15 am

I love your real name Crossy. Sounds so manly.

9:15 am

And handsome even.

9:15 am

and now it is time for the insanely popular crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!!

9:15 am

why ty hego

9:16 am

The Earth’s North and South Poles flip polarity on a semi-frequent basis having done so more then 20 times in the past 5 million years. That means that with the next flip, all compasses will be pointing South rather then North.

9:16 am

uh oh swelled head syndome

9:16 am

my wifes given name is victoria,so it really has a noible ring to it victoria melbourne

9:16 am

noble

9:16 am

I worry about that from time to time, the pole thing.

9:17 am

*gets markers ready to relabel compasses*

9:17 am

No wonnder she calls herself Elegant

9:17 am

Crossy, you are in the presence of a physicist!

9:18 am

well divie 20 by 5 million and you will get a rough estimate as to when to be ready with yer markers lol

9:18 am

divide

9:18 am

... why owrry hego? ... a few years ago the magnetic pole moved across the border into the U.S. from Canada so all the compasses are pointing to you now

9:18 am

Initialization error. Contact Dr_God if this persists......any way to deal with this aside from emailing god?

9:18 am

Seems that at the time of the change we will be vulnerable to solar radiation.

9:18 am

every he knows jeff

9:18 am

he

9:19 am

Now I'm self conscious about being pointed at.

9:19 am

lol hego

9:20 am

: )

9:20 am

I think the solar radiation is more of a danger to our electronics than anything else - pole reversals happen often enough that they don't seem to be associated with drastic extinctions or anything

9:20 am

Youshould be paranoid, Hego.

9:20 am

use a newfie compass just draw a compass on a bit of paper and point the arrow to where you aint and youll come home with no complaint

9:20 am

: ((

9:21 am

btw, speaking of solar radiation, my icon is a spectacular closeup of the sun's surface

9:21 am

well sue as you know,every 16 years we get a solar surge

9:21 am

Silly Crossy

9:21 am

thats when ham radio is at it finest,the tropospheric conditions became phenominal

9:22 am

get all kinds of signal bounce

9:22 am

Oh well guess I'll try again ater.

9:22 am

Have a good day friends.

9:22 am

tc hego

9:23 am

11 years, I think - that's the sunspot cycle

9:23 am

we used to have con tests and exchange cards when we work our set with a nice long distance bounce

9:24 am

11? i was sure it was 16...

9:24 am

i could be wrong

9:24 am

we hit the azores once;)

9:25 am

Is anyone using an iPod to play nibble?

9:25 am

nibble? sounds like an intersting game

9:25 am

Ipad

9:26 am

sunspot cycle is definitely 11 years (or 22 if you count the pole reversal - the sun has them too but a lot more often than the earth)

9:26 am

kk,i stand corrected

9:26 am

I just finished teaching 3 chapters of astrophysics about the sun so it is fresh in my mind :-)

9:27 am

Oh, poo, that was supposed to be babble. My I pad keep correcting words for me

9:28 am

jack london did a good tale on that when up in our tundra areas,he used to get awsome signal bounce

9:28 am

the current cycle started a bit late, prompting speculation that it might not happen at all, but it has started up nicely now

9:28 am

no,lets get back to this nibble game..do i start with the ear lobes?

9:28 am

Funny you should mention that, eicher, I am on the website Smartphowned--funny texts

9:29 am

and I don't have an ipod or ipad or anything but I do have an android phone on which I have babbled

9:29 am

Nope, crossy, nape of the neck, please.

9:29 am

kk

9:29 am

Nibble could be interesting....i' cjheck for an app

9:29 am

it is not quite as eager about the autocorrect as the iphone seems to be

hello all :)) nice to see good buddies here!

9:30 am

btw if you want to die laughing check out damnyouautocorrect.com

9:30 am

hi, mrp! babble ting; -0 hat ti ng;-0ha tt in g;- 0hatting :-)

9:31 am

ok that is not at all what I typed!!!

hi sue!!! Luv you always!! LOL

9:31 am

what I said was that babble seems to be down so we are just chatting!!!

9:31 am

I can't seem to see the side slide bars so I am not able to scroll up and down

9:32 am

I have that problem with my phone, tc, I think it's a feature we are stuck with

i need to change my profile from 'morphine blonde' to 'something special'... let's see what i find in my random pic in picasa

are we online??

9:36 am

sort of, mrp

had a message about initialization error... icky!

9:36 am

Why do you all think there is a problem with Babble?

9:36 am

dr_god is working on it, I hope - he said at 9:02 that he was rebooting the servers

thanks sue... thought my puter had an attack

cause there is molly

9:37 am

no word list and when I type in a word it tells me I already have it, molly (and I don't have any words yet)

9:37 am

Weird, it's working fine for me.

well, good for you darling! :)

9:37 am

maybe it is back? let me try refreshing, bbs

9:37 am

mm,let me try a diff browser

9:38 am

no, still get the mysql error and an initialization error, and no word list and no clock

some people are reporting that the grid is showing higher points for the end of grid, but showing fireworks without some of the tiles grayed

same sue... it works for some, and not for others

9:39 am

and I tried entering a word and it told me I already had it (and I have NO words)

9:39 am

nope,i get same error on FF,chrome and IE,so dr_g must still be working at it

9:39 am

Okay, I refreshed and now it's fubared.

9:39 am

will try crossy's trick, bbs with another browser...

9:39 am

ok, never mind, crossy has done it for me :-)

9:40 am

yup,do not bother sue

molly, is a bloody pain when it happens, but happens to the best of us!! LOL

9:40 am

Oh, boy, Mother is on the phone. Yesterday she rambled for 55 minutes.

9:40 am

(((MRP)))

((((crossy)))) !!! xox

oh boy!! hope it was ok scrabs!

9:41 am

well, you can chat with us while she's on, scrabs, we're chatting even though babble seems to be down :-)

I am entering words that are not going to babble..... going to lickety but not the game

9:41 am

i never allow people to ramble at me on the phone.to me the evil phone is for transferrance of critical information only and to be done as fast as possible lol

i hope that everyone know that it is saved to lickety and all they have to do is 'send words to babble' button

9:42 am

well, there's a thought - I could do the whole thing on lickety! (I don't mean that the way it sounds!!)

crossy, you are my hero!

9:42 am

does expert work?

9:42 am

:))

9:42 am

(nm, let me try)

yes sue, and then send it to babble when it is 'up', if you get my drift

9:42 am

She does the play-by-play for me--the newspaper, the obits, what she did yesterday, what a doofus my father is, what my nephews are doing, the weather, what body part is aching, ....when she is quiet I relaize she has asked a question.

expert is working fine

9:43 am

*realize

oh scrabs!! happy hunting in that conversation! poor sweetie!

realise is also acceptable

9:44 am

Free association, long-distance tangential thoughts....

9:44 am

hmmm, expert doesn't seem to be working for me either, will go to lickety's site

relaize seems appropriate for your situation :)) LOL

9:45 am

OMG, she is done talking already. Because I told her I was about to go outside to plant bulbs, which I am about to do. See you later kids! I hope Babble will be working soon.

9:45 am

bye, scrabs!

9:45 am

and lickety's site is working for me so will be back and forth

i have to tell you all something

i don't know if you know yet...

9:47 am

what, mrp?

you see that gorgeous little girl in my profile pic??? yes, that innocent little darling of a sweetie who is the most gorgeous and most delightful daughter in the world??

9:48 am

yes...

9:48 am

Good morning everyone - I seem to have a problem, has anyone else lost all their Babble words?

9:48 am

yes, we all have, flosey, we are waiting for dr_god to fix it

9:49 am

oh, thanks sue

9:49 am

what a relief, I was in quite late last night and had at least a good half, if not more

9:49 am

anyway, mrp, what's up?

she is in an 'exclusive' relationship with a boy she has known for 3 years... they had their first kiss on friday night... for 1 second... just a peck!! aaawwwwww!!!

9:52 am

how sweet, mrp!!!

and he has been given the boundries... no touching anything that is covered by clothing! she told him straight up!!

i am so proud of her and happy for her at the same time, but of course, worried too! heartbreak is hard for them at this age... but they have had their fights and gotten through it as friends.

9:53 am

... as father of two ... I can assure you that if you had problems with insomnia before this ... you ain't seen nothing like the lack of sleep you're going to get on weekends now ...

9:53 am

oh, that is great, mrp! May she stay as happy as she is now!

now he is just smitten and being a total gentleman

thanks dofs!! she is a perfect storm!! I am glued to what she is doing and happy she is sensible enough to put her foot down to what is what

9:55 am

lol,she has him jumping through flaming hoops eh? :)

indeed crossy! takes after her mother! :))

9:55 am

lol

9:56 am

and mrp,you cannot be putting pics of yourself in the icons.us guys get all distracted and cannot find any grid words that way:)

I approached him a few days ago... put my arm around his neck and gave him a hug.... 'welcomed' him and said I was so happy that my daughter was happy and glad they were 'getting on well'... then said, 'you take care of her and don't hurt her'... kissed him on the forehead and walked away...

lol crossy!! luv you too!

i am so 'mafia'... LOL

crossy, that photo is old hunny! I am a mother of a 12 and 13 year old now!! LOL

10:00 am

i will put up a current photo, that might help get you through the grid LOL!!

10:01 am

Initialization Error here. Anybody else?

10:02 am

yes erda... only expert is working

10:02 am

... everybody else

10:02 am

and even then, you will have to sent words to babble

10:02 am

and me. cant put anywords in as it says 'already entered'

10:03 am

Oh dear. What can be done?

10:03 am

i have found a heap of words, but they haven't gone to babble

10:03 am

expert isn't working for me either, am using lickety's page

10:03 am

dr.g has to fix it

10:03 am

I assume he is aware of it -- yes?

10:03 am

expert is working for me, but not loading anything on the babble site

10:03 am

having same problem here in england

10:04 am

i am playing and getting words, but will load them later in 'send words to babble', when it is fixed

10:04 am

hi ticky

10:04 am

hi erda :)

10:04 am

Hi mrp!!

10:05 am

hi mrp

10:06 am

hi, erda and ticky!

10:07 am

and dr_god said an hour ago that he was going to reboot the servers - I hope someone has told him that babble still isn't working...

10:07 am

, well, got the V's done! LOL

10:07 am

Hi uusue2...

10:08 am

just email him... he might be asleep as it is only 10am

10:09 am

found a peaceful place on tv... English Premier League Man Utd. v Chelsea... hahahahaha

10:10 am

what's his email?

10:11 am

it is at the bottom of the page usue

10:11 am

got any comments or questions? "send them"

10:12 am

ok, got it!

10:14 am

got the 2 ou's that are compounds, what am I so missing??

10:14 am

i mean the ou5 btw

10:16 am

logie is so a word!!

10:16 am

Not inner spelled the British way.

10:17 am

RE CTA

10:17 am

thx, molly! has an accented final vowel, I think

10:18 am

inge is back!! :))

10:18 am

and thx, inge, didn't have that one either :-)

10:18 am

Hello...

10:19 am

hi, jellen!

10:19 am

SQL errors are not easy to fix. This may take a while, provided Dr. God is actually working on it.

10:19 am

hi jellen :))

10:20 am

Ah, so there's a reason my word list isn't loading?

10:20 am

he is working on it Molly, for sure... he is dedicated to fixing stuff here... ivesy had an issue before flip and let him know so he is probably trying to sort that and come across other probs

10:20 am

indeed:)

10:21 am

I just sent him an email...

10:22 am

oh dear. i suppose this is the sort of thing that is a lot easier to deal with for those of you with babble expert. you can still enter everything and then send it over when babble is back up?

Now isn't that typical. I haven't been able to play for ages, and I choose today of all days!

10:22 am

hello again

10:22 am

sally! I haven't seen you in ages!!!

10:23 am

i have finished, but no firewords on babble... will have to wait until the list is accepted :))

{{ruby}} !

10:23 am

Also my computer has gone into molasses mode so I will probably have to reboot, which I think means I will lose all the words I entered into lickety

10:23 am

hi all that came in whilst I was working away!! :)) **hugs**

10:24 am

Maybe I will wrote them down if I can ever get my browser to scroll again

By the way, just now someone said that an ou5 is the British spelling of not inner, but that isn't so. It means outlandish (with an acute accent on the last letter). We spell the other word just as the other side of the pond does.

10:24 am

Expert isn't working for me either

10:24 am

I just popped in to say hi, anyway...

10:24 am

anyway, it's French!

10:24 am

Hi sally, it was a cute clue, though

Quite, ruby.

10:25 am

ok, all 93 done, but non on babble.

10:25 am

Hooray for mrp!

OK, for those of you without Expert. Go to lickety, copy and paste his list into a Word document, then enter the words into there ready to pop in when you can.

10:25 am

and if somebody is more of a monster is he og***?

10:25 am

Yay, mrp!

10:25 am

well yay anyway?

10:26 am

yay mrp

10:26 am

and hello sue and dorens

10:26 am

Must run now...happy chatting, all!

10:26 am

and jellen!

10:26 am

(jellen's back)

10:26 am

Ok, going to have to reboot, only had about 20 words anyway

10:27 am

Right now I am on my phone...

10:27 am

((ruby))

10:27 am

*poof*

10:27 am

i am out now too... fingers crossed that things will be better later. enjoy the day all (or evening)

10:27 am

I see what you are talking about; I got 56 words this AM and it won't take any more

10:27 am

see you later

Hallo and goodbye ruby!

10:28 am

Bye, all! I'm sure all will be fine soon.

10:29 am

Is crossy still here...or anyone that can tell me how to find the defrag for my system?

10:30 am

Hi, car, it should be under system in the control panel

10:31 am

Assuming you are running windows

10:31 am

OK found that. What do I choose now?

10:32 am

Hmmm, I am in the middle of rooting my computer now. Will look in a minute.

10:32 am

What version of windows are you running?

10:33 am

Don't laugh...windows XP

10:33 am

Rebooting is what I am doing, not rooting. Sigh.

10:34 am

anyone having trouble with the site?

10:34 am

I have Vista but it's not that different.

10:34 am

Everybody, ruru

10:35 am

NM! Just found it! All set! Bye!

10:35 am

Ok, great, car! Good luck!

10:36 am

my word list isn't loading?

10:37 am

me too ruru

10:37 am

how does one contact dr god?

10:37 am

I just wrote to him with the Warning on my computer

10:37 am

He said he was going to reboot the servers at 9:02

10:37 am

what's his email?

10:38 am

I copied this: Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/playbabble/index.php on line 128

10:38 am

obviously they need it again

10:38 am

I have a second warning across the top in the blue field

10:38 am

I wrote him a few minutes ago to tell him it still isn't working

10:39 am

it's weird when I don't know which words I've done

10:39 am

Someone said that sql problems can be tricky so it might take him a little while

10:39 am

I shudda finished this last night

10:39 am

Lickety is working

10:40 am

And expert is working for some people although not me

10:41 am

well I guess I'll try back later

10:41 am

Oh, cool! I had to reboot my computer and lickety's page remembered my words!

10:49 am

I cant play babble....keep getting the error messages..have already rebooted...any suggestions?

10:50 am

wait for dr_god to fix it, river, problems are on his end

10:50 am

several of us have already written him, and he tried rebooting the servers a couple of hours ago

10:50 am

I cant even email him...tried and got the error messages

10:51 am

some people can get expert to work, but not me; I've been entering words in lickety

10:51 am

I dont use expert

10:51 am

"send them" way at the bottom of the page has a "mailto" link, you can use that in your own mailer (outlook or whatever) to email him

10:52 am

will try the lickety page

10:53 am

we can still chat here (which is nice) but that's about it

10:57 am

11:03 am

"British spelling of not inner" was just a nudge to use the flipped last two letters the way some British words are spelled. Just to clarify, since I was corrected earlier.

11:03 am

I knew that, molly, and thought it was a cute clue :-)

I just thought it might confuse some, Molly!

11:08 am

I know. I have just made a separate list and will enter them when the site is back.

good plan Sally

Dr_God is apparently trying to fix it.

and this warning just above the tile stats... have never seen that before either.

I have seen that several people have emailed him but it sounds like a rather major break!

Be back after brunch :-))

11:34 am

Hi all, I have this message above my tile stats: Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/playbabble/index.php on line 128

well I'm very sad I can't play today

12:41 pm

You can always use lickety's babble clues, wildcat...

12:42 pm

I cannot enter anything in to the Word List - it says that it has already been entered and then doesn't list anything - sent a message to Dr God - same thing happened several weeks ago and then he got the server fixed

12:43 pm

nope I can't enter there either

12:44 pm

Huh. Weird...

12:44 pm

what do pirates ca** about word lists.. arrrrgh

12:45 pm

I am entering words there; will send words to Babble when it's working again...

12:47 pm

it won't let me

12:50 pm

Wild, are you in regular Babble or Babble Expert?

12:51 pm

expert

12:52 pm

hi all. how do I get babble expert...and how does it work? Thx.

12:53 pm

Download link for the new "Babble Expert": http://r46.me/BabbleExpert20110410.zip

12:53 pm

I am getting the following warning right above tile stats and also at the top of my screen "Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/playbabble/index.php on line 128"

12:54 pm

It's broken Teach, we all have that.

12:54 pm

Can you enter words in to the Word List?

12:55 pm

Nope, wvteach.

12:55 pm

You can enter words into Lickety's list.

12:57 pm

thx Jellen Now what? Save and then??? I'm a real dunce when it comes to the computer!

12:58 pm

I think you click on the saved file and your computer will "unzip" the program for you...

12:58 pm

i'll be back later to enter words if Dr. G gets it fixed.. I'm off to watch football, bathe the dogs, make lunch, go shopping, read a book, walk the dogs, plan dinner, make a pie....

12:58 pm

After that, you can come to my house, ruru!

12:59 pm

:D

12:59 pm

1:03 pm

Ok, Jellen, one more question :-). That worked and I have all my words in Babble Expert. When Dr. G gets Babble fixed, do I click on the box that says "Send Words to Babble?

1:03 pm

Yup, pcal2!

1:04 pm

1:04 pm

You are very, very welcome!

1:05 pm

Oh, you all have made me hungry for pie!

1:05 pm

Hey Lil Bit. *Lines up for cheesecake*

1:06 pm

1:20 pm

Been down all day

1:20 pm

: ((

1:21 pm

it was working fine when i first got on this morning

1:22 pm

dr God restarted the server and that was the end of it.

1:22 pm

Around ten or so EST.

1:22 pm

littlebit, your recipe sounds very tasty!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:23 pm

yep, i was on before that

1:23 pm

1:23 pm

1:24 pm

at least people can find out what is going on

1:24 pm

OOHHH your recipe does sound good.

1:24 pm

Mine is still not working -- what to do?

1:25 pm

thanks

1:25 pm

No Erda it's not working

1:25 pm

Retype everything from scratch?????

1:27 pm

I dunno

1:27 pm

Has Dr. God been heard from?

1:27 pm

I can't type anything in

1:28 pm

Not really Erda

1:28 pm

i hear tell he's working on it

1:28 pm

But Crossy said he was aware

1:28 pm

Not to mention that I've already identified all 93 words! (LOL)

1:28 pm

Ahhh -- thank you, both

1:29 pm

Poor Smoove.

1:30 pm

er5?

1:33 pm

1:33 pm

acck! not back up yet i see:(

1:34 pm

ty

1:34 pm

Hi again Crossy

1:34 pm

ty Gremlin

1:35 pm

I'm using expert Crossy

1:36 pm

ahh let me try the other machine as i have expert on that

1:37 pm

you can put the words in expert just remember to not shut it down so you can send them over when it is worknig again

1:38 pm

ty LB

1:38 pm

yw :)

1:39 pm

last ou7?

1:39 pm

You can put the words in Lickety's list in regular Babble too. If and when this thing revs back up, you can transfer them to the word list.

1:39 pm

NM

1:40 pm

how do you transfer them from Lickety to the word list

1:40 pm

at the top there is a yellow button that says send words to babble

1:43 pm

don't have that yellow button anywhere

1:45 pm

The Lickety clue page and Babble Expert are separate things. The clue page won't have anything like that.

1:45 pm

Nice to see you out of lurk Gremlin.

1:45 pm

Molly great idea

1:46 pm

tx for your help.

1:46 pm

at the bottom of the clues list on the clues page there are directions to tell you how to save the list and transfer them to another location

1:49 pm

Oh well let's hope they scrap the scores for today if we have to type everything in again. However, as an ex-programmer I would think that the system can right itself once this sql fetch instruction gets corrected. I wonder if it is a Microsoft glitch - they did a lot of updates yesterday (or was it the day before?)

hi everyone

1:52 pm

Hi Nanette

does anyone know if Dr God has been notified of the problem

1:53 pm

He knows

ok will keep checking back then to see if its been fixed

1:56 pm

Good chance Dr. God is at the mercy of the server people, and they are notoriously slow on weekends.

1:57 pm

re5?

1:57 pm

and, now htat i have found them all, i will go make my chhescake and check back later to find it working!! :)

1:57 pm

Yay!!! Wildcat!

2:21 pm

ty Dos

2:25 pm

... Has there been any recent word from the good doctor as to a guesstimate of when the problem might be fixed?

2:26 pm

not lately

2:26 pm

I'm not sure anyone actually hears from him. I do know there have been several emails letting him know of the problem.

2:27 pm

Crossy says he's working on it

2:27 pm

Dr G is

2:27 pm

... Yeah ... I was on earlier and I know that uusue at least e-mailed ... and I believe Crossy did too ... ... just wondering

2:28 pm

Oh well then I guess he has the inside track. Heh.

2:31 pm

... Bills 24 Raiders 21 .... Go Bills .... .... later days

whoopie....93 words typed onto my notepad... now to wait until the glitch is fixed !!

3:16 pm

And that is another win for The Redskins!!

3:17 pm

Is anyone having problems with the game today? I just started and have no words, but when I add them it says I already entered it.

3:17 pm

Excellent Sue! That is exactly how I feel about lame, over used LOL. : )

3:22 pm

thought you would enjoy that, molly :-)

3:24 pm

so i have a weird message a warning under my grid/ any one know what that means? and hey afternoon everyone

3:24 pm

It means babble is totally screwed up today, onyx

3:26 pm

hi everyone! good thing it's a small grid today.

3:26 pm

i am kind of getting that idea, it says i have entered the first two words i tried and it won't take anything. that seems to be my karma,

3:27 pm

onyx, you can go to lickety's list and put in your words there.

3:27 pm

it is universal karma today

3:27 pm

So I'm just sitting here, listening to the debut album from new supergroup 'SuperHeavy' and sipping my mojito

3:27 pm

i was going to babble on my netbook while trying to resurrect my laptop

3:27 pm

sounds like a good thing to be doing today, Movie

3:28 pm

Sounds like a blue day JMC. *Passes some Jack*

3:29 pm

ty moll would you like a beer?

3:30 pm

i've been constructive today, made chicken soup, did laundry, changed linens, resurrected my xmas labels list, made up some new return address labels, and cleaning up my messy office.

3:30 pm

?

3:30 pm

so...the stats aren't working?

3:30 pm

Love one, thanks.

3:31 pm

pretty much the whole site isn't working except the chat, phae

3:32 pm

you do realize that if you start addressing your christmas cards before thanksgiving we will have to send a hit squad lbd

3:32 pm

well...i'm using expert and the words are going to that list...so will continue

3:33 pm

not addressing them, just resurrecting the list. I've managed to have lost my prior years lists and must recreate it from scratch

3:34 pm

LBD and I were powerhouse women today. I cleaned the floors, did three loads of laundry, dusted, vaccumed, made the Sunday dinner rolls and have a pork roast and herb seasoned potatoes in the oven. I do not dabble in Christmas in September.

3:34 pm

I going to assume someone contacted DrG?

3:35 pm

Yes Phae, at least a dozen people.

3:36 pm

not much to do here. it's cold outside, hubby is sick with a cold, and i'm hiding out in my office, and these little projects keeps popping up

3:37 pm

ok...ty

3:43 pm

mY bABBLE PROGRAM IS BROKEN. wHEN i HAD ALMOST FINISHED THE WORD LIST DISAPPARED AND IT SAYS 93 LEFT2

3:44 pm

Inge, problems with the server. Everyone has them. No word on when it will be resolved.

3:56 pm

My pro upgrade is gone, too! I've been pro for 8 years!

3:57 pm

done...enjoy your chat

3:57 pm

well done, Phae!

3:58 pm

ty...it was a pretty easy grid...thank goodness lol

4:01 pm

just now got back into Babble . . . are all my words lost? :-(

4:01 pm

does everyone have a warning disclaimer just under the grid?

4:02 pm

yup

4:02 pm

and no words?

4:02 pm

ya is a server problem

only on expert- not on the the regular one

4:04 pm

ok, thanks . . .

but with 34 left I haven't found any words in a while so I don't know if it is working

4:05 pm

i don't use Expert . . . have no words showing and can't enter -- am trying to recreate a list of the words I'd found when it crashed . . . bummer

4:05 pm

maybe i'll be able to enter them later today . . .

I have a word list- so far- but not on Expert...

4:06 pm

F

4:06 pm

for me, it just keeps saying "Word list is loading . . . )

Swearing, Inge?

4:07 pm

can i assume someone has contacted dr.god?

been going on all day, apparently.

4:07 pm

ugh!

yeah, well...

4:08 pm

now there is no reason to not take the dog for a walk. will try later.

4:12 pm

ok, I've "refound" 42 of the words I'd found earlier when everything crashed . . .

4:15 pm

48 . . . ok . . . BBL

hi everyone.

4:21 pm

servers are messed up

4:21 pm

Yes!

4:21 pm

I was hoping for a few minutes of relaxation....

At least it is a small grid...

4:24 pm

4:26 pm

aha, babble is back. but I played this am and now it is telling me I have 93 words left, was is going on?

4:28 pm

4:29 pm

I see your Angel Peri. I hope you had many good memories of your sister today. Babble is broken.

4:29 pm

don't know whether to restart this one or not

4:29 pm

ty Molly, glad ou can see it

4:30 pm

I just started and every word I enter it says I've already entered it but yet my word list is empty. So do I just quit today, MollyL?

4:30 pm

if I do not restart and enter words will the game from this am count. I did not finish

4:30 pm

ergo my ranking will go down

4:41 pm

well, that is what it's saying to me! Sorry!

Now our icons have disappeared! what...??!!

psychobabble!!

4:42 pm

I still see icons. No need to copy and past in chat. Just read back in chat to find out what is going on.

4:43 pm

Wow! I think you have hit the nail on the head Kaplan!

4:43 pm

uh molly... the Texans won again.. and the Colts lost.. just keeping you updated...

4:44 pm

Dr. G hasn't fixed it yet it appears

4:45 pm

Thank you smarty pants, I have been following the games today. Don't care much about The Colts.

4:45 pm

The faceless Soodle appears out of the mists of a banjaxed Babble.. Hi everybody :-)

Lost all my words...

4:46 pm

*looks down at smarty pants*

Oh, god- it's like in the 60s when the tv tube blew. We have to talk to each other.

4:46 pm

Hello Soodle. I thought of you as I prepared the Sunday pork tenderloin.

4:46 pm

Gawd. Food = Soodle?

ace

sorry.

4:47 pm

No, but the last time I made a pork roast we were chatting about it.

4:47 pm

how does soodle related to pork?

4:48 pm

This not working for everyone?

No...

4:48 pm

As for football, The Redskins won and Dallas is losing. I am a happy camper.

4:48 pm

Ah-ha. Molls. I remember that. And Ruru.... please don't go there.............

4:48 pm

I hope Dallas gets creamed in the second half

4:49 pm

It is the bane of my existence that my son, who I raised as a Redskins fan, is a turncoat Dallas fan.

4:49 pm

I'd disown him molly

4:49 pm

And, of utterly no significance to most of you, Dublin won the All Ireland Football Final today.

4:50 pm

That is the thanks I get for feeding him and all his buddies football food all Sunday for years.

4:50 pm

and take him out of your will.

4:50 pm

Hooray for Dublin!!

4:50 pm

Oh, the ingratitude of offspring......

there was a needle case in the grid AND in the Sunday NY Times diagramless today...

in case anyone is interested.

just trying to divert from heated sports conversations.

4:52 pm

Speak to me not of needle cases. I had to freaking sew yesterday and I am still grumpy about it.

I will speak not to you then.

4:52 pm

Huh. According to Babble, I already entered the needle case....

4:52 pm

No, just not of needle cases.

4:53 pm

Soodle, Babble is broken.

It said I entered everything.

Our dear Babble is broken and now we must converse.

sad sad day.

4:54 pm

<------- Imagining Molly in a sweat-shop, squinting her eyes at some intricate lace-making...

4:54 pm

I can't remember if I cried, when I read about his widowed bride, but something touched me deep inside, the day...Babble...died.

does this mean there is no PB?

4:55 pm

We don't have to care about spoilers?!

4:55 pm

Sorry, Molly. Didn't realize there was a a rule about cutting and pasting in Babble. So many unwritten regs! Jeessh!

4:55 pm

♫♫Helter-Skelter in a summer swelter♫♫

4:55 pm

No PB, just a general party in the Babble lounge. Open bar and appetizers provided.

Outrace!

4:56 pm

oopsie

4:56 pm

Outvied!

4:56 pm

4:56 pm

*sniff... sniff.. uh.. one day I was putting in words and then kapowie.. nothing.. uhhhhhh"

5:00 pm

Lie down on the couch, Ruru, and start at the very beginning..........

5:00 pm

A very good place to start

5:00 pm

well.. I was raised by a wolf pack....

5:01 pm

crossy,has the shakes,i see bugs on the wall,i am hot one second,cold the next..this always happens when babble or down,or i make a bad batch of bacon vodka:/

5:01 pm

I grew up wanting to be a cub reporter

5:01 pm

Those lovable loser cubs...

5:02 pm

do you put a tomato on a skewer and mayo on the rim of that martini crossy?

5:02 pm

Aha.... Ruru refers to a pack wolf and Crossy comes in, with his wolf icon.... curiouser and curiouser.... Continue, Ruru.....

5:02 pm

Instead, poor Ru ended up a roadie for Los Lobos.

From the pack to Puck.

N...B...N? what can it mean????????????????

5:03 pm

5:03 pm

It means Inge has secretly taken control of Babble. Aaaaaahhhhh.

5:04 pm

National Broadcasting Network?

5:04 pm

that's what I always thought Molly

5:04 pm

ahh the cubs..do they still play the blues in chicago,when springtime finally rolls around..when the snow melts away,do the cubbies still play,in thier ivy covered burial ground?..when i was a boy,they were my pride and joy,but now they only bring fatigue...the home of the brave..the land of the free and the door mat of the national league hehe

5:04 pm

I mean what the Puck?

5:04 pm

No Bloody Nouns?

5:04 pm

Ah yes, NBN = Now Babble's Nonexistent

Whe8n I think of Mozart dying at 30 and Gershwin dying at 38, I feel a greater loss of all the unwritten Gershwin tnes...

I'm just saying.

5:05 pm

Bloody adjectives.. no bloody nouns today

...than I do about the Mozarts.

We have to talk about SOMETHING.

5:06 pm

Let's talk about politics!

5:06 pm

This is all getting a bit too surreal for this Babbler. I think I will go to bed. Good night all.

5:06 pm

Dr God is on the beach at the Bahamas.. right now

5:06 pm

*with a Corona*

5:06 pm

So, how 'bout those awesome candidates?

5:07 pm

Goodnight Soodle. Hope you don't have any Babble nightmares.

No kidding, Gremlinn.

5:07 pm

Is there going to be a Democrat to run beside Obama?

5:07 pm

back to the game.. bye.

That's a good question- there oughta be someone from the left...

5:07 pm

iwent to the grocery store and went immediately from checkout back to check a price since they had slines and the checkout person yelled at me that i could not go back onto the store ith the bag. i was embarrassed and po's

6:12 pm

my store would not have had a problem with that--i have done that to go to customer service

6:14 pm

nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't put anything else in the bag.

well they said it is store poilcy , it was on the door. "see, it says we reserve the right to check all packages." i always thought that meant they could inspect them... counselor?

6:14 pm

hi all

6:15 pm

check could mean inspect or it could mean that you give the bag to them to hold while you go back in--doens't mean you can't bring it in

6:15 pm

hi jes

i KNEW i should have sued them when i took that fall there. seriously, it was a terrible fall and i got hurt

6:15 pm

the can inspect or hold them for you.

that is their porblem,let them put some people on the floor. they want to be open 24/7 then they have no one to work

6:16 pm

I am 2/3 through now.

6:59 pm

7:07 pm

7:08 pm

It's Kevin Smith's pot shot at people like Michele Bachman. Brief synopsis...A homophobic preacher leads his parishioners in capturing sexually active teens, gay and straight, and tying them up in the inner sanctum of his church where the boys are murdered in the name of God.

7:08 pm

*giggle*

7:08 pm

oh boy.. sicko plot Molly

I'm well. Went to Vermont for Grandmother's funeral.

7:47 pm

I'm so sorry minver...i hope was peaceful and a celebration of her life

anybody know what the er5,16 means?

7:47 pm

L's Loaded! 7 left

7:48 pm

dont have it yet jes

7:48 pm

When I clicked on the ? it said "no dictionary results".

7:49 pm

It seems to mean "disgorge noisily (food/drink)" in Latin - dunno if it's the same word

7:49 pm

carleekat, do U want a clue for the er 5/16 word yet?

7:49 pm

ok. thanks, grem :)

7:49 pm

And if it's the same as the word sticking an "a" on front, it means "another name for verdigris"

7:49 pm

good grief no minver..i only just started ..but thanks :)

7:50 pm

Verdigris in turn is: 1. A blue or green powder consisting of basic cupric acetate used as a paint pigment and fungicide. 2. A green patina or crust of copper sulfate or copper chloride formed on copper, brass, and bronze exposed to air or seawater for long periods of time.

7:51 pm

I'm thinking er5 is *not* the same as the Latin word

nice....:-) The site is working ! Now I just have to type in 93 words from my notebook.... that is the route I took to play the game today.

7:53 pm

Hello BabbleRabble! How are you? Welcome to the grid

7:56 pm

Toeing the PB line :)

7:57 pm

Then it should be spelled with the "A". Babble annoys me with words like this.

7:58 pm

And that was not towing the PB line, that was a PB offense, as in putting a word in chat.

7:59 pm

I didn't think it counted if it was as a substring

8:00 pm

C's coddled! 5 left

8:00 pm

Like I could say "phantom outrate" even though the ra4 is in the grid

8:01 pm

Doesn't matter. The "rules" (if you will) are overlooked here now. Someone told me that people clue in the first hour and that used to be a BIG no no.

don't worry about it gremlinn..... the PB is vastly over-ra4/4 d

8:02 pm

I jumped into the PB willingly earlier because there was bacon.

8:02 pm

How fun to be chastised by the esteemed babble elitists.

LOL

8:02 pm

Hi dianedecoder! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:02 pm

Hey don't look at me, I'm just a Babble peon.

8:02 pm

<----carlee keeping her fingers quiet

8:03 pm

The lurkers appreciated the clue! :)

It's just a game for Pete's sake..... I'm no elitist and I play for fun and TRY to abide by the rules.

8:03 pm

I clue when someone asks for a clue

Hi Minver

8:03 pm

Which isn't quite often in the first hour, but it can happen, because a lot of people are eager for the NBT

8:08 pm

Oh, dear. I guess I missed that. I just logged on this evening.

8:35 pm

hi, min and gremlinn!

8:36 pm

btw I put a link to a video of fireworks in my profile for those who missed them while babble was down :-)

Congratulations uusue on fireworks? Hooray for you!

8:38 pm

Did you put a copy of that vi 5/18 in the Penalty Box?

8:39 pm

oops! No fw for me yet, but I will enjoy watching them vicariously from the PB! and thx for pointing out the word, I'd missed it

8:41 pm

but nbt now, thanks to a few made-up words

8:41 pm

It's not fair to make up words! Only use dictionary words!

8:42 pm

Hmmpf. They're all made up too.

8:42 pm

Why is it not fair, gremlinn, Enable makes up words all the time.

8:43 pm

Enable is exempt from the rules.

8:46 pm

Grem, I would send you to the PB for ru4, but talk of that went very badly last time. So I'll just pass you a slice of apple pie.

8:47 pm

Well, Good night all. And Molly, you are not a peon, you are a regent.

8:47 pm

I already sent myself to the PB for that word - no double jeopardy!

8:47 pm

Goodnight Wht, and thanks. I'm certainly not a snobocrat. : P

8:48 pm

night, wht!

8:48 pm

Plus, I pluralized it this time anyway - but...did you say pie?

8:48 pm

Yes Grem, you may have pie in or out of the PB. : )

8:48 pm

*jumps in the Pie Box*

8:49 pm

pie?

8:49 pm

what kind?

8:49 pm

Dutch apple

8:49 pm

cute, grem - PB always makes me think of peanut butter...

8:49 pm

*Cuts a slice for Harpjane*

8:49 pm

so maybe it is peanut butter pie? (surely there is such a thing)

8:49 pm

Hi harpjane! How are you doing?Welcome to the grid.

8:50 pm

8:58 pm

thanks nbt

8:58 pm

Do you actually have iv5 walls at your school Sue?

8:58 pm

There is no di 4/5 need for a story today, but here is one anyway. Hubby and I always ar5/16 over Babble. He does not ca4/5 for this game. He regrets the day he told his friend Ca5/12 to show me how to play the game. However, I'm gr5/14ful to him for showing me how to play.We ar5/16 with such vi6/36 that we say cr5/14 things. Our fights can be gr 5/16ling at times because we will fight for over an ho 4/5. My husband can be an A-ho4/5!He gets ir4/5 whenever I babble.I have been a lu5/12 and tried to lu 4/5 him to Babble, but to no avail.He is such an og 4/6 when it comes to Babble. On a scale of 1 to 10 my husband would ra4/4 Babble negative 100. Husband would like to enforce a no Babble ru4/5. Whenever I hear his car pull in,I try to leave no tr 5/12 of Babble on the laptop by closing all the windows. Husband is being a he 4/5 and wants computer.I gr 4/7 at what he might do if I don't give it to him. I'm going to te 4/4 myself away from laptop and go watch My Name is Ea4/4 or I might watch Will and Gr5/16. I have vi4/8 to ra 4/5 back here to help clue later. By the way, none of this story is tr 4/5.

8:59 pm

some, yes, but there were more at Yale :-)

8:59 pm

nbt, nbs

8:59 pm

Ah yes, I have seen pictures of Yale.

And I am asking not being a smart alec

9:16 pm

you should google their calls....sort of a combination between a whooo and a groan

9:17 pm

you would think owls wouldn't have that much to talk about at this time of year but you'd be wrong

Just looked it up an Youtube. Simply amazing

9:18 pm

they are beautiful creatures!

I have never heard an owl hoot. That is why I asked
