Aww, no. Know something ru? It's always the little, pretty simple and common 4-letter words I end up stuck on... I see the big ones but those have a way of hiding. It's weird.

Twice now I have listed with one damn word left... and a 4-letter word at that, haha. Now that's a hall of shame entry if ever there was one.

12:46 am

I always see the 4/5 words right away.. but tonight I'm hopeless

I usually see them all too. But if I get stuck with 1 word left, it's usually one of those!

12:47 am

2:00 am

Night ru!

2:00 am

Night ru :)

2:02 am

Night ru :)

2:02 am

I'm off too. I'm also leaving. heh heh

my journal is in my head, and I remember 'everything'!... but yes, I keep notes on my life and make sure I read back to see my stupidity at times

2am hiccup *cheers*

Night ru.

2:02 am

kitchen break -- and bedtime! Farewell all -- back tomorrow...*poof

Yep. I was waiting for it to pass.

Good night jilli.

nite ruru ((hugs))

2:03 am

Oh.. if you could read my book mr p.. you'd really think differently

neil, saw your email... yikes and yes. I will reply to you when my husband leaves to go back to the facility later on. I am on here avoiding things of course, but I think I can do that for a little while...

2:04 am

G'night jili :)

Oh, ok mrp. I just read back in the chog and was surprised to see he's there?

How's that been going?

ruru, I am just impressed with what a great guy you are... I would read your book anytime

I plan to write a book one of these days.

I asked him to come home to try and talk to Maddison, our daughter, but she has bolted... so I sent her friend out to find her... this is going to be tough

You've written one, ruru?

2:05 am

you'd write a f-ing good one neil

2:05 am

don't push her mr p.. it will take time

Haha! How did you guess it would be peppered with expletives, ru?

neil, in a way, many of us babblers have written a book, on the chog! LOL

I'm sure, mrp!

2:06 am

I'm a f-ing savant

Aww. Why do you think she bolted, mrp?

Yep. I think so, ru.

2:06 am

I would love to write a book, if I had the discipline and talent.

indeed ruuster... he isn't moving in anyway to hurt the situation.... he is actually up in her room cleaning it! LOL

2:07 am

me too.. I have a lot to say

It's good of him to want to help like that, mrp.

2:07 am

that's good mr p.. there needs to be a lot of healing first... Madison will come around..

2:08 am

Madison...what a great name :)

well, her demands are clear, he has to prove he is willing to do anything to help the family... and he is starting with her.

thanks boati, we like the name, picked it out before she was even a twinkle in the eye!

2:09 am

he has to help himself first

Oh, I see... wow.

Yes, that's most important. He can't really help anyone else until he does that.

oh ruru, I know, but I don't know how to move forward with that one right now... I want him to do stuff for himself and be himself again

cleaning up his daughter's room is not really the priority, but it is making him feel good about himself... he WANTS to do it... wasn't asked to.

2:10 am

his mother could use counseling so that she doesn't become a bigger codependent than she already is and make things worse

2:11 am

Madison has been a very popular girls name over here ever since 'Splash' was released :)

2:11 am

That's great that he's making efforts, making strides, both for himself and for the family.

I think that shows good changes are coming. Cause we were all darn tired of the 'argument'... nothing got done without a fight and we see now why.

Oh yeah, mrp?

That's progress then. Big progress.

2:12 am

yes...I hope that's true

ruru, she wouldn't get help if I dragged her to a counsellor, she has to want to see the issue for what it is and stop placing blame everywhere else.

Positive changes start with recognizing what was going wrong... and admitting it.

Oh man. So many people do that, mrp. Can't accept fact and will do anything not to see it.

Maddison was also a president's name, and 'splash' was a great movie, and it was not used here at all.

Encountered some of that earlier.

2:14 am

If someone from the facility could get through to her that she is adding to the struggle .. and she needs help to be able to help him.. that'd be the best

I agree, ruru.

She's probably only hear and believe it from someone professional.

neil, I get told what a 'good girl' I am when I say I am moving forward with him... but if I say something negative, I cop it bad

2:14 am

thank god you didn't call her millard mr p

Ugh, mrp. Ok, there's still a looong way to go then.

what the heck is a milard? some type of retarded duck??

2:15 am

you... need to take care of yourself and your kids mr p.. that's the bottom line..

Haha!

ruru, believe me, that is exactly what I am doing... i have seen what I need to do

2:16 am

excellent

2:16 am

Can I get a clue for the be 5/20 please?

I hate that all this is happening, mrp. It's not like you don't have enough stress and struggles already, geez.

2:16 am

Maddison, I expect, is dealing with a sense of abandonment.

2:16 am

thankfully you have great friends that are true friends.. to support you since the rest of the family can be weird in this

be + tailor-made clothes are a good ***.

2:17 am

be 5 a king or queen

2:17 am

Ah, thanks :)

2:18 am

it's too big a picture for her right now BR.. she couldn't understand it now

2:19 am

Madison that is..

2:19 am

I was only looking at the e to the left of the b. No wonder I couldn't see it.

Oh, sent you that other email btw, mrp... you should have it by now.

You're welcome, boat. :)

2:20 am

Clue for the last em 4/8 por favor?

2:21 am

ostrich like creature boat

Maddison is feeling completely abandoned, but more so for me... she sees it from everyone else's perspective and can't understand how WE were left in this lurch... that is her thinking

mrp? I sent you another email.

2:21 am

or e + three consonants .. a babblet

ok, will go check neil

2:22 am

she has you mr p.. that is just as important

And yes, I'm sure she is in that respect... but you've all been abandoned, for the time being.

ok neil, thanks so much.

You're welcome, mrp.

2:23 am

I have the em 4/5 and the em 4/6.

she has me and her brother ruuster, and that is all she wants for now. i will make sure we are fine and with that will come some clarity for her.

em4,8 boat.

em + 2 more consonants.

2:24 am

That's the one I'm looking for. I need a clue for it.

2:24 am

Add grieving to a sense of abandonment and her feelings are in complete disarray. Maddison, despite blaming others, is likely very angry and wondering if she somehow is responsible for what her father is dealing with.

And it's a "plural" word.

2:25 am

Ah, got it! Thanks neil :)

2:25 am

Dictionary.com doesn't have it as a word. So I wonder what it is.

2:26 am

it always looks like a swear word to me boat

i gotta go... bbs friends

2:26 am

noun: the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in volts

2:27 am

Ah, thanks BabbleRabble :)

2:27 am

G'night and Good luck mrp :)

2:31 am

boatierra, are any of the babblers you started with still around?

2:31 am

Sprite I can recall.

2:32 am

The gal the introduced me, I don't think she plays anymore.

2:33 am

BR, your profile pic is a hoot!

2:34 am

But I don't notice any other players from when I started. At least not in the chog.

2:35 am

runningforhome; cz; parsec

2:36 am

Oh parsec, that rings a bell.

2:39 am

I'm sure there are others that I'm totally forgetting. When I look at the rankings I see/recognize a lot of names that I don't see here on the chog anymore.

2:40 am

periwinkle ... lawyer-1

2:40 am

Marigold

2:44 am

I was thinking periwinkle and marigold, the two top points holders.

i luv peri!! she is one of the first babblers I met, she is a rock and just the sweetest person

2:47 am

But I do see peri on here frequently just not marigold.

marigold hasn't chatted in forever!

sprite is around boati, but later on, in about 4 hours or so

2:48 am

Oh ya. BR was just asking who I could remember.

I miss greywoulf... I really really miss him

2:49 am

Ya, I wish my friends still played. It'd be nice.

and franmag... luv her, but she doesn't chat anymore :(, I do see her on other games I play on my iphone and we get to chat then. :)

2:50 am

She went under the name Tolinya, it was her WoW character.

2:50 am

OMG, franmag, I remember that name.

and then we had that interesting moment when a babbler that we all thought was 'family', interestingly introduced a 'japanese boy' to us... he had a terrible illness???

2:51 am

What?

and that went very pearshaped when the japanese boy started using her account name whilst they were online together... many people fled then

2:52 am

Sound like they were using the chog for something other than Babble?

some thought it was a massive insult, felt they had been taken by someone asking for help... when this babbler was allegedly on two accounts, being two different people

indeed boati, but this was a babbler we all knew for a long time! She disappeared after that... couldn't come back to face it.

2:53 am

Weird.

it was sad really, cause we all became super wary... we were a tight family

and then arguments started, it was disappointing.

however, as we all said, you don't know who is on the internet, who is on the otherside of the chat... we can only trust and find out who they are gradually... I opened myself up to FB for babblers, and they have seen video of me, my family, my pics, my life was opened up to them... but then there are those that don't do that, and that is also fine... sometimes you have to go with your gut feeling IMHO

2:57 am

I agrees. I totally missed all of that. I chose not play for a long time because I didn't like the way the whole penalty box thing was being dealt out. People were being very persnickety/mean with it. So I left for a loooooong time. Kinda glad I missed all it. I much prefer Babble to be funny and the player to be helpful and funny :)

3:00 am

Jeez, my typing is atrocious.

3:00 am

Many things have changed even in the time I have been here. I do not stay around much since I have a talent for getting trouble. I think the people here now are less considerate than when I started .... but no matter ... I just leave.

3:01 am

Ya, if I feel things are getting icky, I just leave. That's the best thing.

Hi again mrp. :) I haven't seen anyone being persnickety/mean about the PB, boat... it's a joke getting sent there. I sent myself there when I accidentally type a grid word in the chat box. I think maybe you're taking it that way when nobody intends it seriously? I doubt anyone would have tried to be mean about it.

Uh, "send" myself there even. Too tired.

i did have a time where i left... but i have learnt to avoid certain people... and happily send myself to the PB just to P*** some of them off... who is anyone to say how we play the game??

3:10 am

Oh this was several years ago. Not talking about recently. Nobody has been that was about recently thankfully.

3:10 am

*way about it recently thankfully

neil!! I did it, on purpose a few years back, just to show what a friggin joke it was!! LOL

Oh I send myself there when I accidentally type a grid word in here, mrp... besides it's not bad in there. There's all kinds of goodies to be had!

Oh, ok.

and yes, I got crap, but so what! no one tells me how to play and they can FO otherwise

Oh there are some who seem to live for dishing out crap to others on here mrp. Even others who have never said a word to them yet... figure that one out? Must be pretty unhappy people to do that. I kinda pity them.

don't worry about anyone neil... just enjoy your game the way you want to.

boati, I don't know if you were around when the whole bullshite about 'no clues at all in the first hour after flip' came out... I hit the roof with that one!!

For goodness sake flip happens here at like, 4-5pm.... and I only have so much time to babble before life gets in the way!! LOL

3:14 am

No, I was not. Jeez, what a load of crap. If you don't want to see the clues then turn the chog off. It's not that hard.

I don't, mrp... much as some may want me to. lol

And you have email btw.

Yeah, boat... that's nuts. It's so easy not to see the stats if you don't want to. What, do they have no self-control?

3:16 am

Hey, how's the new place?

Oh, getting there.

3:17 am

Are you still in the process of moving?

sorry, phone... bbs

It's clean and more or less organized anyway. But they started working on the roof early yesterday morning, would you believe? Seriously. On a SUNDAY. "Bang, bang, bang!" at 8am sharp. Ugh. All day today too... so I went downtown for the afternoon.

Aside from a couple pieces of furniture I have to collect and keys I have to drop off sometime this month, no. I'm moved in already.

3:22 am

Sweet! (except for the Sunday roof noise, grr)

3:24 am

Can I get a clue for the first st 6/18 please?

st + v**** are what you put flowers in.

3:25 am

stases

3:26 am

Oops, haven't done that in a looooong time!!

3:26 am

Now that's one for the PB :)

boati, to the PB with you!!! **throws TimTams at boati on her way the the pb**

3:27 am

TY Neil :)

yw boat! :)

Uh oh... the dreaded PB! At least there are TimTams there though... whatever the heck those are? I'm assuming they're delicious though? :)

3:28 am

They're like chocolate dipped bread sticks?

3:29 am

Or are those Yan-Yam?

Oh are they?

no no no.... heavenly biscuit with magical properties! chocolate heaven really

Sending TimTams to my USA friends is just one of the services I offer :)

3:32 am

I just looked them up on Wikipedia. They look good yummy :)

I bet we probably have something similar. I'll google them and see what they're like.

neil!!! darling, sweetie, pet, I say luv, I say pet!!! there is NOTHING like aussie Tim Tams!

3:34 am

I bet you could get them at Cost Plus World Market or a similar store.

omg, I have to send you the youtube link to that line.... 'pet, i say luv, i say pet... ', it is very funny aussie humour

i have sent them to some babblers....sprite, ruru, etc .... and no, there is nothing like them.

3:36 am

good morning!

hi ruby :)

3:36 am

Hey ruby :)

Hi ruby.

3:37 am

Apparently Pepperidge Farm carries a line of Tim Tams.

That would be a real tease, mrp... it would leave you just wanting more!

They do, boatierra? Wow. I must get some.

Oh mrp? And boat? Ask Laura about me and cookies sometime.

3:39 am

Mmmm, I just looked on World Market's site and they do not carry them.

3:39 am

Will do Neil :)

3:39 am

every now and then I mess up and type, usually too fast, a bunch of small words in the chog. Fortunately, they are usually words everybody already has. I'm just no good at multi-tasking!

Pepperidge Farm do, but they are not Arnotts TimTams, they are a fake!!

3:40 am

and almost everybody is kind about it -- almost....

3:40 am

That's what the site that I found was saying, that they are not the read deal.

3:41 am

how I miss Pepperidge Farm products! Even the white bread! When I go back to the US, I carry an empty suitcase and fill it with stuff I can't buy here

There's kind of a running joke about me and cookies. But just don't ask my brother about it. Oh no. Ask Laura instead!

3:41 am

So far I've found like three different site as to where to buy Arnott

3:42 am

Arnott's Tim Tams. Very popular!

Oh? Are only Arnotts' the real deal mrp?

You mean here, boat?

3:42 am

Dare I ask, are you a "cookie monster"?

Uh, kind of... just ask Laura.

yes neil... Arnotts only

with the Rosella on the packet

I had her going for the longest time. You'll see.

Oh ok mrp.

3:44 am

Oh three sites in AUS. - http://www.about-australia-shop.com/ti mtams.htm - http://aussieproducts.com/timtam.asp - http://about-australia-shop.com/produc t_info.php/products_id/387

how much do they charge to send them boati

3:45 am

hi all :) I am grateful for the more acceptable size!

Hi sprite. :)

And herin.

Uh, yesterday's was 26 words!

3:46 am

I know. Ridiculous.

hi sprite :)

In about 5 minutes I was done and wanting another grid already, geez.

AMazon have them at $8 for one pack

3:46 am

*hugs mrP*

3:46 am

{{sprite}} yesterday' sgrid was awful, too small and no fun

3:46 am

I don't know. The first site listed there is currently out of stock.

3:46 am

and I still didn't finish

3:47 am

{{herin}}

holy shite infern!! what a ripoff!

Mr PRes we are in the wrong business

How much do they cost there, mrp?

BUT Aussie post have became epically stupid on posting

I'll say infern! we should be ripping the world off!! but I don't have the fortitude!

Or herin... you live there too, haha!

I'm slow when I'm this tired.

Neil about $3 or $2 on special. I don't buy them over $2 (I am a tight arse)

3:48 am

nor the inclination, mrP :P

3:48 am

But the second site listed has them at 6.95 a package.

Wow. That's cheap.

indeed sprite! **hugs**

$9 for a jar of Vegimite

3:48 am

Nothing about how much to send until you actually check out your cart.

yeah, $2 is what I spend, and $3.60 when I 'need' them

3:48 am

good morning friends :)

3:48 am

hey deb :)

hi deb *hugs*

3:48 am

hello deb

3:49 am

what is vegimite?

Hi debjed. :)

I don't need them I bought a pack on Sunday when shopping as they were cheap and I don't really like store bisuicts

vegemite is shoe polish

I think it's like Marmite? Am I right?

3:49 am

Looks like the third site has them listed at 3.95 a package, before shipping.

3:49 am

all these exotic foods.... lol

3:49 am

vegetarian salty paste like Marmite

Haha, mrp... don't think so!

3:49 am

nourishing? or just salty?

Yeah! So I was right for once. [I'm Left otherwise].

Nothing like marmite. You serious Mr pres?

3:50 am

salty... like a seasoning, added to give taste

It's not like Marmite?

MR Pres the boy say Get out of my country

3:50 am

I know that Cost Plus World Market (at least when I worked there in 2000) used to carry both Veg and Marmite.

Neil it is but tastes different

neil, I do kid, but it looks like shoe polish, and smells like salty brewers yeast/old beer.... and must be used sparingly

3:50 am

yep but vegetarian

Marmite is disgusting!

3:51 am

some people love it though

Haha, yep. Sounds just like Marmite... which I like, but as you say must be used sparingly. I spread it on my toast very thinly.

Uh, I like Marmite. Does that make me disgusting?

Sprite there is Vegimite that is Kosher too. It has a K on it

When I went to the UK a couple of times, I brought back jars of it.

3:51 am

too funny!

Mr Pres sparingly? I slab it on

3:51 am

lol

Good to know, herin... but it's not as good as Marmite?

infern, do you go corner to corner??

Yep

3:52 am

some love it better, neil

3:52 am

in the halall grocery store, many of the foods are kosher as the muslim dietary restrictions seem to be similar

Personal taste I guess.

But I also mix it with Peanut butter on corn thins

3:52 am

I'm turning in the for the night kids. Time for a bit of reading then bed. Thanks for all the clues and for the good conversation. G'night all :)

Yes, ruby. I'm Jewish.

neil, you aren't disgusting, just when you compare vegemite to marmite, it is disgusting

3:52 am

yeah. I like peanut butter with sambal...

[in case you couldn't tell]

I love peanut butter.

3:53 am

Oh and for anyone who wants it, I've posted a non-flour chocolate cake recipe in my profile :) I've made it several times. It's very good :)

Non-flour? How does that work? [checking]

3:54 am

I never had peanut butter or white bread as a child but when I left home (to get married at 19), I pigged out on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on Wonder Bread

Night Boat

Chickpeas in CAKE?

Wow. That's different?

3:54 am

boat your icon is so awesome

Yes, that's a beautiful photo boat.

3:54 am

The first time I saw the receipe I was fascinated by the fact that it has not flour, that it was chickpeas, so I had to make it, and sure as sh**, it WORKS!

I can't imagine it, haha!

3:55 am

Thanks! Love that pic :)

3:55 am

ok you made me enter shit in the grid

I'm used to them in tabouleh or as hummus, etc.

3:55 am

<-- loves chickpeas

Same here, ruby.

3:55 am

I discovered that leaving the tahini out of hummus makes it better

How did we do that, sprite?

3:55 am

It's some of the best cake I've ever had. And I love my hummus! But it workds for cake too :)

3:55 am

lol neil :)

3:56 am

it is so easy to make and better than any commercial one , or even restaurant one, I've ever had

Gotta love someone else who peppers the chog with expletives. Makes me look not so bad. :P

3:56 am

LOL sprite "ok you made me enter shit in the grid"

3:56 am

I never saw sprite use a bad word before! MOG!!!!

3:56 am

I never saw sprite use a bad word before! MOG!!!!

I have a few in my profile.

3:56 am

(loves sprite

3:57 am

OMG* can't even type

3:57 am

oops I shocked ruby :D

Oh I have the F-word in my profile in several places. It's an inevitability with me. I overuse the word so my readers tell me.

3:57 am

<-- unshockable, just teasing you

Dates in chocolate

3:58 am

fresh dates!!

3:58 am

*giggles* I know, ruby, but it was fun... twice the post and a typo in omg... :D

3:58 am

I always cover my dates in chocolate

3:58 am

OK, now I'm gone. Laters! *poof*

3:58 am

I never tasted that

3:58 am

bye Boat :)

3:58 am

or Boa, actually

3:58 am

now maybe the other kind of date, but that's too long ago..... (now I've shocked sprite!)

That's usually typed like this: "OMG!!!!!!!1" [when I see it online]

Dates in Chocolate cake sorry

3:59 am

bye boat

It always has to end in a "1" for some reason.

3:59 am

it is quite a job and demands a load of molten chocolate, but yum do those guys taste good after.

3:59 am

hahah

omg... my husband is leaving to go back to the hospital... feel sick

Lailah tov, boat. :)

3:59 am

the reason is they let go of the shift a fraction too early, neil

Uh... or technically boker tov at this hour.

3:59 am

*hugs mrP*

Hugs Mr Prses

He feels sick, mrp? :( Or you do?

Doesn't he have to return there?

Yeah, sprite... that's what I figured.

I want him to stay, but it isn't the right time yet... he hasn't embraced his 'honesty' factor yet

4:00 am

it is hard, honey. Breathe. He needs the treatment and therapy. And you need us and a whole lot of other support.

4:00 am

uh oh, thumper is afoot

Yes, mrp.

Thumper?

4:01 am

see you later everybody and a big {{}} for mrp!

4:01 am

grab a broom and thump back, rubyfoo :)

Take care ruby.

4:01 am

hahah, fat chance

4:01 am

thumper is DH, neil. He thumps when he needs ruby.

Uh, yeah. I'd probably use the broom.

4:02 am

I would. But then again, I am not half as nice as rubyfoo.

4:02 am

no no, it's just his footfalls that I hear. I am firmly ensconced in my studio

Me either, sprite.

4:02 am

thousands would disagree, sprite!!

4:02 am

:)

4:03 am

nah, not if they knew me. I can be a regular bitch. Especially when I feel manipulated.

4:03 am

it has gotten to the stage where I just feel sorry for him

4:03 am

<-- doesn't believe that for a second!

4:03 am

sprite always brings sunshine to the chog!

4:03 am

that is good, ruby. As long as you are not scared anymore, it's ok. But you know, I can still come to visit :P

4:04 am

*poof*

I'm reading your icon themes, sprite.

And this one doesn't seem too easy to do:

"A Picture That Looks Like The First Letter Of Your Name"

4:04 am

the guestroom is cranked up!

4:04 am

*real poof*

4:04 am

nope, a tough one. But still fun.

Yeah, that would be a challenge!

I have to reorganize my Flickr... after that I'll attempt the themes.

I just don't know how you'd do some of them!

Gotta get creative/imaginative.

4:06 am

neil: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/5 789461349_7d99422722.jpg

Kind of, I guess? How did you find that?

4:08 am

google. I am a google expert, grin. I googled: 'letter N in nature'

4:08 am

and then hit images

Oh neat!

4:08 am

:D

4:11 am

btw, the stuff we emailed about... is it solved?

Still here mrp? If so check email... replied.

sorry had to listen to something

4:12 am

wb lady

Who sprite, us? Uh, it's nothing to worry about.

4:13 am

am glad to see you as you, anyway :)

I'm always me.

4:14 am

you know what I mean

That Twitter stalker/moron seems to have ceased and desisted. Hasn't followed me anywhere else.

Yep. All good.

4:15 am

wonderful, that is what I meant :)

4:15 am

jeezzz finally I spot tmesis all by myself and now it is a phantom.

And he can't tweet at me anymore because the first thing I did was block him on Twitter... so that should solve it.

Oh, after I had my say.

4:16 am

great. You can do without such nutters

After I laughed at him for his lame trolling abilities, I gave him a *slow clap* and told him he's just the kind who gives our Marines a bad rep. Then I blocked him.

4:17 am

yeah

But your assessment? Yeah. I was thinking that was a strong possibility myself. And my brother thought so too.

4:19 am

it is very likely. No need to go all hostile unless you feel threatened.

Oh that doesn't stop some, sprite. Learned that lately just on here.

Well I am going to go now

4:20 am

bye lady *hug*

Ok herin... take care.

4:20 am

if they do, they feel threatened in some way

Even when there's no reason to... it's amazing.

4:21 am

I think there is always a reason. But usually it is inside ourselves and not something we like to be aware of.

Oh probably. Which is why I usually just shake my head and feel sorry for them. And employ block if it's an option... that works.

4:23 am

lol yes. And if it is myself who feels hostile, I try to check why I feel threatened.

I am so exhausted after that!! good lord

I can't say I really feel that way too often... it takes a very serious, strong reason for that to happen.

Aww. Welcome back mrp!

4:24 am

hey mrP, wb. That was tough :( *holds mrP close*

I replied to your other email btw.

***hugs***

4:26 am

did it go a little better with Maddi this time, mrP?

ummmmm..... in one word..... NO

Oh. :(

This time, she armed herself with a rolling pin!! FFS!

4:29 am

hm, she needs more time. Have been thinking a lot about her lately. LOL @ the rolling pin... good girl. She is hurt and she defends herself against more hurt. And she is mad and shows it. She'll be ok, hun. I promise.

Now.... excuse me!! but I am the drama queen in this family!! and she single handedly dethroned me today!!

4:29 am

as I said, good girl ;)

4:31 am

and Luke? Still wise and serious?

yep, and seriously luving his dad

very forgiving child, very.... *sigh*

i have to go finish up dinner ladies and gents... bbs

4:32 am

he is so special, your 'little' man.

4:33 am

and... how is mrP handling it all?

4:33 am

ok hun, see you later, or email. *hug*

Nearly done, sprite?

Ugh. Off to bed... sent you both email. Bye for now and take care.

6:37 am

6:37 am

... WARNING ... omg ... William Shatner has just recorded a version of Bohemian Rhapsody! ... it's going to replace his version of McArthur Park as the worst recording of all time ... ... just heard a bit of it on the entertainment section of a classical music station ... I don't know if I'll ever listen to that radio station again ...

6:39 am

that is horrible, dose. I thought it couldn't get worse than McArythur Park unless you left your cake out in the rain.....

6:39 am

egads, dos!

6:41 am

... The album is called "In Search of Major Tom" ... David Bowie is probably spinning to his grave ... it's so bad I can't think of any more words ... ... oh this is bad ...

6:41 am

exercise time, bbl!

6:42 am

ty for giving me Major Tom for an ear worm "Ground control to.....

6:45 am

happy, just ate 1/2 pint of melted ice cream. How great is that?

6:52 am

Almost as bad as him doing "Bohemian Rhapsody" there is also a cover of "She Blinded Me With Science" on "Seeking Major Tom". Listen to this stuff at your own risk. I think the CD should come with a demise of sanity warning disclaimer.

6:52 am

95 and taking a break. see you later

6:53 am

{{molly}} nice to see you. "my" spider has doubled in size; she is starting to be a little bit scary and I've stopped feeding her

6:53 am

her thorax is as big as the top part of my thumb!

Macarthur Park- there's a fine piece ofe poetyr

6:55 am

they must have been doing serious drugs when those lyrics were written

SOMEONE LEFT THE CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN- such pathos.

6:55 am

see 6:39, kaplan!

Or not-serious drugs. OOH- Richard Harris.

6:56 am

did you ever see Two for the Road?

I'LL NEVER HAVE THAT RECIPE AGAIN!

6:56 am

TG!

i I saw that movie. Audrey and Albert, was it?

6:57 am

I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN TAKE IT!

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

6:57 am

(just riffing off Kaplan)

6:57 am

right, I was thinking Richard Harris.... was he in one of Antonioni's movies with Monica Vitti?

6:58 am

but it took so long to make it

I recall a yellow cotton dress.

6:58 am

we are all, more or less children of (or descendants of) the sixties

6:59 am

and an MG convertible?

for better or for worse. The decade also gave us "The Archies."

There will be another song for me- for I will sing it.

Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed, In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants CHORUS MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing checkers by the trees CHORUS There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life You'll still be the one. I will take my life into my hands and I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky. And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why. Chicago or even "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams> MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down... Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! Oh, no No, no Oh NO!! (upon which Harris suffers an irreversible gender change)

We were pressed like a striped pair of pants????????

7:06 am

Well, it took me a while to figure out what I was coming into here in Babble Land....Good morning!

good morning, love's hot fevered iron.

7:07 am

and when you ran to me,your cheeks flushed with the night,we walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight..and when i woke and felt you warm and near,i kissed your honey hair.... with my grateful tears....

7:07 am

ahh love songs...

Yeah, I know, Simon & Garfunkel had their occasional lapses. I think that was a Garfunkel contribution.

7:08 am

art had the voice...

7:08 am

has

Birds do it, bees do it--even educated fleas do it---much more to the point.

Art is long, paul is short.

wow, you are good, peri!

8:04 am

just lucky, sue, how are you today?

8:04 am

Now for some reason, I have "Moldau" by Smetana in my head...so I must find it and listen....

8:04 am

I'm good, peri! Only one class today so maybe I can get a lot of grading done

8:05 am

I gave my classes an exam on Friday, and the last day to withdraw from classes is this Friday, so I want to get their grades posted before that

8:05 am

Well done Peri!

8:05 am

And good morning!

8:05 am

just in case, you know, some of them aren't exactly going to pass....

Ahhh! I tried "smet" as a word. That is how it got in my head!

8:05 am

ty car

8:06 am

cute, car! :-)

8:06 am

Yes, physics is a challenging course and some kids do not "apply" themselves.

8:06 am

heck, scrabs, some of them don't even show up!

8:07 am

A college degree requires learning personal responsibility.

8:07 am

there is one who signed up for my class in the spring, showed up maybe twice at the beginning of the semester, never withdrew, and wound up with an F

8:08 am

now he's signed up again and hasn't shown up at all, and again hasn't withdrawn

8:08 am

<--- now listening to the beautiful music...

8:08 am

Idiot. Wasting money.

8:08 am

Good grief. What a waste.

8:08 am

maybe he has some health issue (I have no idea because I've really never seen him); I've sent him several messages and he hasn't answered

8:09 am

you would think that he could at least get his act together enough to withdraw, if he's got it together enough to enroll

8:09 am

In case anyone wants to listen..there is a beautiful slide show with this as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5zwt3B 8Weg

You'd think so. Maybe he is depressed.

8:33 am

8:33 am

Ah, yes, TY.

8:33 am

Hi Scrabs, how are the bunnies

8:34 am

So cute. I had a dream about having loose bunnies in the house and there were 2 bunnies that were not familiar and I did not know how they got into my house.

8:35 am

Dreams are fun. My two fluffs are having a birthday this month

8:35 am

They'll be two years old

8:36 am

hello again - my neighbor just got 2 baby bunnies this weekend...they are sooooo cute and cuddly

8:36 am

Do they poop in a litter box?

8:37 am

Hi River

8:37 am

these are just 6 week old babies and they are in a rabbit hutch in their barn

8:37 am

hi Bichon, do you have the mu 5/6 meaning civilian clothes?

8:37 am

baby bunnies. How much fun they must be

8:38 am

ty saani, I did not, but i do now

8:38 am

one is gray and the other a butterscotch color - sister - just adorable

8:40 am

Yes, my bunnies have always been litter box trained and they learn quickly. Restrict them to a cage initially and place a box with paper-based litter (not clay stuff nor aromatic wood chips!) and they do their stuff in one place, usually a corner.

8:40 am

And, if there's an accident, at least it's easy to pick up.

8:41 am

Baby bunnies are so damn cute. But when those 2 hit puberty within the next few months they will fight. Have the family read www.rabbit.org re bonding rabbits. It is a challenge.

8:41 am

when we had our bunnies they were kept out side in a rabbit hutch - the small room we made in it for a bedroom, they used as their bathroom...too funny

8:41 am

Civilian clothers?

8:41 am

*clothes

8:41 am

It's an Arabic word.

8:41 am

our two were sisters...they constantly humped each other.....domination I guess

8:42 am

Does neutering help with the fighting. My fluffs are ex boys and the sibling rivalry sure shows

8:42 am

civvies as opposed to khaki

8:43 am

They should absolutely be neutered--less aggression. And male bunnies can spray urine soneutering st5 that.

8:43 am

these are both females

8:44 am

My Bichons have alsways been neutered. The are such a dominating breed, they still mark in the house [they wear belly bands]

8:44 am

My female bunnies have always been quite fe5-y!

8:45 am

I have always had female pets not wanting to deal with the male issues....drives me crazy when my neighbors dog has to mark my yard all the time

8:45 am

Very spunky and bossy.

8:45 am

ooking at a Bichon, you wouldn't think they try to dominate

8:45 am

Oops, I am in big trouble! But there are some free clues.

8:46 am

already had those - give me something I need scrabs

8:46 am

*sprinting off to the PB, searching for goodies*

8:46 am

mutase

8:47 am

Oh, oops....bet you don't have that one. Hahaha. I am being naughty now.

8:48 am

got that one - down to P's

8:48 am

Thanks Scrabbler!!

8:48 am

YW, Ken!

8:48 am

Ping-po4 and then past tense

8:49 am

P's done - 4 words to go

8:49 am

hello again

8:49 am

hello ((Ruby))

8:49 am

Hi Ruby

8:49 am

hi ruby, Scrabs is giving out free clues

8:50 am

scrabbler: there is a series on Fr TV now in which the wife of one of the Borgias has a large pet rabbit walking around quietly

8:50 am

{{bichon}}

8:50 am

under her desk, around her feet. I saw it last night and thought of you!

8:50 am

How cute! Bunnies are wonderful pets--sociable!

8:50 am

hint for the 8?

8:51 am

I have a bunny under the couch nudging my ankles now. Wascawy wabbit!

8:51 am

How are bunnies different from dogs?

8:51 am

Quiet!

8:51 am

I didn't mean physically. As pets

8:52 am

Use litter box so lower mainteneance.

8:52 am

And they don't need walking. But I need exercise, so a plus for dogs

8:53 am

we've had two male chows over the years, neither one neutered and both as gentle as can be. Neither one ever showed any interest in girls....too much inbreeding?

8:53 am

My wee Sebastian (2 lbs) was never neutered and he was the sweetest, cuddliest bunny that I have ever had.

8:54 am

fireworks

8:54 am

I don't think Europeans are as into neutering as Americans

8:54 am

woot River

8:54 am

that river is so smart!

8:54 am

At 104/50 I must get ready. Dentist appt in90 min.

8:54 am

Congrats River!!

8:54 am

congrats River, YEAH!

8:54 am

we're not European!

8:54 am

smart enough to use morewords....lol

8:55 am

bye scrabbs

8:55 am

Ruby was spayed as DH couldn't deal with the idea of heat!

8:55 am

mine have always been neutered. When the late Biscuit discovered the puppy next year, he humped him and got an erection. What an emarassment

8:55 am

hoste

8:55 am

Max is so timid anyway, that side from the pungent P issue, neutering would have been a mistake

8:55 am

whoops sorry

8:55 am

aside*

8:55 am

any clues for the u word please

8:56 am

I must get back to work - have a great day everyone

8:56 am

ruby, I know you're American, but I think it's the European influence. Vets here expect you to neuter if you're not intending to breed or show. And, it's more expensive to license an unneutered dog

8:56 am

ut4/5

8:56 am

Aaron, it's like the sttate, but different last letter

8:56 am

Max isn't licensed and neither was Rufus, we just had to prove that they had rabies shots when we imported them

8:56 am

ty

8:57 am

I think that chows must be different from other breeds in that the females are much more aggressive and are better watch dogs. The males just want to be admired

8:57 am

ruby, if you don't license here and they are caught by animal control, you pay a big fine to retrieve them

8:58 am

the dog that attacked DH was never even put down, so you can imagine how lax the laws are here!

8:58 am

Max has never been off the property and we've had him almost 8 years. When he needs a vet, he gets a house call

8:59 am

2/3 done and it's cocktail time in Dixie

8:59 am

2/3 done and it's cocktail time in Dixie

8:59 am

I think if a dog bites a person, they are quarantined. and, if there's a lawsuit, your insurance premium skyrockets. Some insurance companies won't write a policy if there is a certain breed in the home. And, I think chows are one of those breeds

8:59 am

have small, curly-haired dogs. Grooming issues are our biggest problem with chows

9:00 am

A house call by the Vet. Never heard of that. But, what do I know.

9:00 am

any clues for the tu4,5 please

9:01 am

the dog that attacked my husband was quarantined for 2 weeks, kept in dog jail for another week and then released to his owners with various provisos about when and where to walk him, keeping him muzzled, etc., but none of it was enforced

9:01 am

Bichons need lots of grooming. They go to a groomer every 8 weeks and I brush them about once a week on the average. I also brush their teeth.

9:01 am

I think a lawsuit can enforce a lot of rules

9:01 am

anyone

9:01 am

be 6/30?

9:01 am

that is so cute! I comb Ruby every other day but it is an endless task as she has an extremely dense and long undercoat

9:02 am

not yet Aaron

9:02 am

we filed a criminal complaint, the owner paid the initial expenses but it just went to court yesterday to see if we can get damages. My poor husband deserves something, as it has been all downhill for him, since the attack.

9:02 am

After they're groomed, there's nothing really to brush. But by 3-4 weeks, I need to. If they get matted, the groomer is not happy with me

9:03 am

The US is a litigious place. You'd win big here

9:03 am

Ruby looks gorgeous, but her tail is matted and she's greasy underneath.

9:04 am

I tried bathing her myself last week and, although I got her clean, she immediately headed for the mud and was dirtier after the bath, than before

9:04 am

tu + present tense of the verb to be

9:04 am

we'll be lucky if we get $5,000 here!

9:04 am

I don't tend to bathe mine unless there is a big calamity. I don't mind in the summer, but who wants a shivering dog

9:04 am

see you later!

9:05 am

Wow! 5,000. a pittance of what you'd get here for pain and suffering

9:05 am

got the 8. it is a tu word

9:08 am

how do the tile stats work

9:09 am

aaron each tile is worth a certain numer. The f is worth 4 points. You add up the points of your word and multiply them by 1 for a 4 letter word, 2 for a 5 letter word, etc

9:09 am

try looking at the help page

9:10 am

yes but say u were looking for the last t word, how would you know how many letters it is

9:13 am

and why are there more than one tile stat for say the ts

9:15 am

It's an indicator of where the word starts on the board not just the letter

9:19 am

thank you i understand it now

9:20 am

I only started playing this late last night, takes a while for it all to sink in.

9:25 am

e

9:37 am

in the friends of babble list, click on licket's babble clues. It will give you a list of the first two letters, the length of the word, then the total point count for the word.

10:12 am

10:12 am

lol lbd. fireworks.

10:12 am

10:13 am

whoooo hoooooo MIXI!!!

10:13 am

YAY, lbd and mixi for the FW!!! (just reading back in chog)

10:14 am

did anybody else think yesterday's little grid was a stinker?

10:14 am

yeah, for a dinky grid, it was a twisty one.

10:15 am

I reached half and quit, no fun at all

10:15 am

I never finish, but enjoy a juicy grid

10:15 am

i finished it, but for so few words it still took me a half hour.

10:16 am

it took me that long to get half! :(

10:18 am

i like challenges of the grids, and sometimes i just want to fish smack it cuz it has ridiculous words that shouldn't be allowed. like amtrac!

10:18 am

amtrac????

10:18 am

I like the big grids with builders

10:20 am

yeah, that was in the grid a couple days ago. i like moderate sized like this one up to the medium sized ones around 200. the monster grids are hard to keep focused on and take me way too long to get half way

10:21 am

for nbt, please, I need the left-hand e and the i

10:21 am

I've tried everything! monkeys are lying on the floor, exhausted

10:21 am

I never want to tackle anything larger than 300 words because I know I'll never get even half way. I get too discouraged with the really big grids

10:22 am

with the big ones I have simple goals: half and nbt

10:22 am

e from the first column...how you would spell the letter S

10:22 am

duh me, slap me with a guppy!

10:22 am

thanks, lbd

Come ride a little train that is rollin round the tracks...

12:17 pm

I loved the talking horse. And does anybody remember F Troop? (Or am I going back to far...)

Forget about your cares it is time to relax...

12:17 pm

Silly was what I was all about when I was 6.

Lots of curves- you bet!

Even more when you get...

to the Junction.

12:18 pm

I remember reruns of F troop, that was entertaining for a couple of shows, but not my style, either.

12:18 pm

LOL Kaplan

Bea Benaderet was almost cast as Ethel Mertz, which would have altered the course of history.

12:18 pm

I loved F Troop!

But the almighty saved us ...

I haven't binged for over a week. Does that count?

12:30 pm

so far fine. Haven't ordered a thing, but my computer screen is covered in drool

12:30 pm

Drool = Free!!

12:31 pm

International shipping = not in my budget, alas.

12:31 pm

clues for the tu8?

12:31 pm

Sprite..... I reckon that you should automatically lose weight for all the things you Could have eaten, but didn't. Its an awful pity it doesn't work like that!

12:31 pm

back to the ireland trip - it's not that I mind so much, it's just that he has taken his boyfriend to Ireland twice this year alone, but the children haven't seen their grandmother in two years. Bums me out.

12:32 pm

tu= a medical term for swelling

12:32 pm

lol Soodle, too true. But for me it is an achievement in itself, so I will treasure it anyway.

12:32 pm

the act of swelling...

12:32 pm

it ends the same as stup***** = baffles, pigeonman

12:33 pm

got it! thanks sprite and cross

12:33 pm

Well done Sprite. And Trif...... its his loss. He is losing the goodwill of the kids. What goes around, comes around.

1:04 pm

1:04 pm

There's a boxer on my street. Handsome looking guys. As you might have guessed, I have bichons

1:04 pm

fall has such wonderful colors

1:04 pm

yep i did they are pretty dogs

1:05 pm

these are all rescue dogs

1:05 pm

very loving happy to just be in a loving home

1:05 pm

our 2 kitties are also rescue critters

1:05 pm

my current bichons are too. Just love them so much

1:05 pm

awww rescue is such a good place to get critters from

1:06 pm

yep thats all they are looking for is love ...well ok and food lol

1:06 pm

it is,and such a variety! last time i was in there,there was the most amazing 3 year old male russian blue waiting for a forever home

1:07 pm

ohhhh pretty cat

1:07 pm

My first two were not rescues, the third was [and he came with lots of baggage]. These two were strays and they are neverous but loving

1:07 pm

i used to have a tortie (reverse calico)

1:07 pm

huge head on hom..told the wife if we break down and get him,i want to call him smirnoff

1:08 pm

him

1:08 pm

sometimes the rescues do have alot of baggage alot of that is due to their treatment prior to rescue

1:08 pm

ours were kept in cages and used for breeding

1:08 pm

one of our rescue kitties you canot yell at,she will just shut down

1:08 pm

smirnoff lol i like that name

1:09 pm

Yes, the current two were found as strays and they are afraid of other dogs they see on walks. They are also fearful of riding in the can

1:09 pm

*car

1:09 pm

yes these had their quirks also lots of love and patience seems to have helped

1:10 pm

sometimes they remember abuse always one of these is scared to death of fly swatters of all things

1:10 pm

one of them is afraid of my husband, but only in the kitchen

1:10 pm

wow wonder what happened to that pup

1:10 pm

lol@ quirks..our 2 year old black male shorthair kitty grooms my beard while i try to sleep:)

1:11 pm

hahahahaha crosshair

1:11 pm

i wake up and his nose is right in there and he is licking away trying to set a part in my beard hair

1:11 pm

We have absolutely no idea. Animal control

1:11 pm

my tortie was one of three and always the leader of the trouble they used to get into and they did get into alot of trouble.

1:12 pm

lol cross

1:12 pm

thats a shame bichon

1:12 pm

they do have fears

1:12 pm

torties are pretty kitties

1:12 pm

missy and sheila are afraid of everyone but us

1:12 pm

yea they are crosshair

1:12 pm

Well they were given good care at the shelter and the Vet and then put in a foster home run by the rescue organization

1:13 pm

its usually the care before shelter that has caused their fears i think

1:14 pm

We

1:14 pm

in toronto they have set a new policy for this year at least,you cannot buy a dog or a cat from a pet store,only reputable breeders,or rescue shelters etc

1:14 pm

We're hoping they will get over their fears of other dogs. It's been around 9 months since we got them.

1:14 pm

they want to find homes for all the pund animals and resuce animals first

1:15 pm

that is good crossy. Pet stores are just outlets for puppy mills

1:15 pm

hmmm a good idea

1:15 pm

yup,,no dogs or cats at pet stores...period

1:15 pm

yes they are bichon

1:15 pm

thats where ours came from was puppy mills

1:15 pm

I see people spending a lot of money at pet stores for animals with very poor backgrounds

1:16 pm

we do not have a large mill problem,but this will kill off what is still out there

1:16 pm

The Bichon rescue organization does place puppy mill rescues, but only in homes with no young children and only in a home where there is a socialized dog

1:16 pm

yea i do also and it breaks my heart to see some of those pups and kittens and know where they came from

1:16 pm

The US has a large puppy mill problem

1:17 pm

i have heard that

1:17 pm

its nice to have rescues and know we are giving them what they deserve a good home and they are totaly spoiled lol

1:17 pm

yes it does bichon

1:17 pm

it is sadie,it is a win/win situation

1:17 pm

yeppers

1:17 pm

Unfortunately, CT has passed a law so rescue groups can't go to places in the country with dogs at kill shelters and bring them to CT. These rescues have to get very expensive and frequent checks at the vet. This makes the vet rich

1:19 pm

oh yea it does im sure vets love this

1:20 pm

kinda fries ya to think they are just making life harder for rescues and the animals thy want to help

1:21 pm

don't know why CT went along with this. It's a lose/lose situation

1:21 pm

yep it is

1:22 pm

our 2 local vets donate thier skills to the shelter and charge for materials only

1:22 pm

and our shelter is a no kill one,we foster out all animals when possible

1:23 pm

thats very nice of them

1:23 pm

we fostered 2 kitties just last month but then they found a forever home for both

1:23 pm

Our vets do volunteer too, but I don't see the purpose of the law. It only serves to discourage rescue organizations

1:23 pm

ttyl bye nice meeting you sadie

1:24 pm

you also bichon

1:24 pm

have a good day

1:26 pm

sigh..wish they would fix my flickr photo bucket;(

1:29 pm

2:55 pm

nm got it

2:56 pm

hi ivesy

2:56 pm

hi lbd..

3:01 pm

kinda quiet in here today.

3:06 pm

How much time does it take for you guys to finish these, normally?

3:07 pm

scwabby!

3:07 pm

finish?what is this"finish" you speak of?

3:07 pm

depends xoviat. today's took me about 40 minutes.

3:08 pm

Do you use the hints?

3:08 pm

but I toook 2 hours

3:08 pm

first 6 months pro,i used to obsess and kill myself to finish every grid..now i just relax and enjoy it

3:08 pm

yesterday's took me about a half hour. kinda depends on the words, the placement of letters and how awake i am.

3:09 pm

I'm best at 4:00 am

3:09 pm

deinitely use lickety's list or if that's not available whomever might have one. helps me keep from going totally bonkers, otherwise i'm just half bonkers

3:10 pm

I had to go to Lickety's page to figure out the last 9. Being fairly decent at scrabble I thought I'd hack it without. I was wrong.

3:10 pm

nose

3:11 pm

SORRY

3:11 pm

babble is a whole different critter, for sure!

3:12 pm

I must really be slow........ or stupid, I have to use the clues about half way through. sigh

3:12 pm

smaller dictionary than I'm used to. I play sowpods scrabble, so there were a lot of 'huh?' moments when words like aitu wouldn't go through.

3:12 pm

thanx, saanichet. do you have one i don't already have? hehe :)

3:14 pm

Hello Luwanda, I'll try! (Pl. that last one)

3:15 pm

babble uses the enable dictionary. a truly horrible dictionary!

3:16 pm

hi Luw

3:16 pm

I don't like it because of the ethnic slur words. That bugs me.

3:17 pm

the babble enable dictionary and all other regular ones are distant relatives at best

3:17 pm

me too, saanich. and the made up words as well as the proper nouns it allows, inconsistencies too

3:18 pm

it still won't allow "tech"

3:19 pm

I think it is Sprite who is compiking a words not wanted list

3:19 pm

enable needs to be updated

3:19 pm

*compiling (I have rotten eyesight!)

3:20 pm

They seem to have updated by removing a lot of the old biblical useage except for a few, "saith" comes to mind

3:21 pm

i think the word generator that Dr. G uses probably doesn't choose that many.

3:22 pm

saith is also a fish. Odd that they'd remove that.

3:23 pm

Word people will never agree! The Official Scrabble Dictionary is so crazy I won't play unless we use Oxford Canadian/American

3:24 pm

Actaull "saith" is still there, but many others are not. Sorry for confudion

3:24 pm

There are some 30K more words in sowpods. They'll be even more of a difference next year.

3:25 pm

I have never used sowpods. Do you find it useful?

3:28 pm

Useful? It's the valid words I require to play scrabble competitively. I'd call it more 'hard work' than useful. I'm sure there's a couple of obsessive people here who understand this :)

3:29 pm

Oh, yes indeed Xov

3:32 pm

i guess there are some folks who really get competitive with their games. not me.

3:34 pm

Yeah, it starts off as picking up a few new words here and there, then there's deliberate study of new words. Before you know it, you're reading the paper, and pulling anagrams out of what you're reading. Scrabble's definitely not for someone with OCD tendencies.

3:37 pm

*Sits in the non-competitive section with LBD*

3:37 pm

st 6/18

3:37 pm

plz

3:37 pm

hi molly!

3:39 pm

plural of state of being motionless

3:41 pm

i like picking up new words, but if i'm not able to use them, it's kind of pointless, other than learning a new word

3:41 pm

does it work off of the 4 before it?

3:42 pm

st6.18 is the first st word.

3:42 pm

st + another name for donkeys but no double S

3:42 pm

oops yes.. that is the one i need lol... does it work off the one after it i mean if that makes sense

3:44 pm

st down one tile then take a hard left across the middle row, ivesy

3:45 pm

ahhh ty lb

3:47 pm

yw, sorry i couldn't come up with a better clue

3:47 pm

clues were fine.. ty..wouldnt have got it otherwise

3:56 pm

I agree LBD. I see no point in learning "new words" that I can't use. I'm not so heavily invested in word games that it would be a plus for me.

4:00 pm

another problem with learning new words in a game like babble is that you have to make a real effort to find a definition. I get several word-of-the-day lists that occasionally have words I don't know - they come with interesting tidbits about the origin and use of the words, which I enjoy.

4:02 pm

I find it annoying that there are words in these grids with "no definition listed" when you click on the definition link.

4:03 pm

me too! although if I really want to know I will google the word; I think I've always found some kind of definition that way.

4:09 pm

i used to look up all the words i didn't know, but not any more. i look up the ones that seem the most interesting or most bizarre now.

4:31 pm

Evening all. May I please have a clue for any mu words? Thanks

4:35 pm

mu5/6 combo...what you put over your ears (less one final consonant) + do re me fa so la **

6:01 pm

parenting can be so hard. you feel alone even when you know there are millions of parents going thru the same stuff because you frankly don't care about the others just now!

***stid*** hang in there sweetie

6:02 pm

I know, it's just rough to have the kiddo in pain... I want to encourage some independence and draw out the ability to actively work toward a goal, but it seems that all that happens is it becomes MY fault that his dreams don't fall in his lap... *sniffle*

6:02 pm

thanks mrp (((hugs)))

6:02 pm

hi mr p. I hope you are holding up too

6:03 pm

how are you today mrp?

stid, that is depression talking... slowly slowly

6:04 pm

My last word in the this case stid was to remind them that it was my job as a parent to give them the skills they needed to make their dreams come true. It was their job to actually make their dreams come true

hi bugs :)

6:04 pm

6:05 pm

:-)

have to get up off the chair, walked down to the car, get in the car, drive to my therapist, and cry... that is all I know for now to be honest

6:06 pm

I read somewhere that every tear is a prayer. you don't have to do more than cry sometimes

6:07 pm

mrp, prayers and good wishes your way.

6:24 pm

btw if anyone is interested in the research I used to do, there is an app for Android smart phones or tablets called LHSee

6:25 pm

it's all about the experiment I used to work on (ATLAS at the LHC, Geneva, Switzerland)

6:26 pm

sadly sue..smart phones are crazy expensive to run up here,but i love the android tegra 2 cpu in our tablet:)

6:26 pm

is that the one where they are trying to smash atoms sue?

6:26 pm

lol,thought you had a hand in developing the phgones,i should read closer

6:27 pm

it is, bugs

6:27 pm

you can even download live data as it comes in and see how it looks to the physicists

6:28 pm

and if you have an android operating system on your tablet you can download it, crossy

6:28 pm

wow! you must be a big name in tiny things! lol

6:28 pm

cool sue

6:29 pm

info here: http://tinyurl.com/67duvwx

6:29 pm

I would have no idea how to interpret what you see. In my happy little world things like quarks etc are all made up anyway.

6:30 pm

it has a very good educational section where it explains everything that you see (or you can just look at the cool animations)

6:30 pm

only know little about these sort of things sue.babble is choc full of super smart ladies lol.but i did read up on the hadron collider and got intertested in particle acceleration at one point

6:31 pm

ok checking now

6:31 pm

anyway I am going home now, it is dark and cooling off fast, see you all in a bit

6:31 pm

yea!!! FW

6:32 pm

yay, laura!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6:32 pm

thanks, everyone's clues are so helpful. This is a lovely group

6:32 pm

i did a experiment where you ran water through smaller and smaller filters that had all the metal tubes channeling the water all in the same direction till you got all the molecules going in the same direction and under very high pressure we used to cut steel with a jet of water..was quite fun

6:34 pm

that was long ago though

Oh really, crossy? Where did you do that?

Oh hi... and bye, Sue?!

6:35 pm

it says they are looking for the God Particle. How will they know when they find it? will it have some religious symbol stamped on it?... see, my imagination does not handle physics

6:35 pm

Hi everyone!

And what exactly IS a "God Particle"?

Hi rolotom.

6:36 pm

I rolotom and laurag

6:36 pm

did it as a class project..tue we cut softer metals,but the big new uints can cut just about anything..our water pressure was cobbled together with firehoses as the water sourse and a pump to increase pressue from filter to filter

6:36 pm

hi I mean

6:39 pm

Any clues for the sp6 and the 2 x sp7?

Sounds like the fire department equipped your classroom, crossy? ;)

sp6,27 -- something that soaks up water, that you clean or wash yourself with. [natural ones are found in oceans]

6:39 pm

****** Bob Square Pants!

sp7,44 is past tense of that, sp7, 40 plural.

6:40 pm

ty for mr squarepants champ

6:40 pm

i saw that and thought it was a phantom! i'm so blind sometimes

6:40 pm

yw crossy

Gee, I didn't figure people wanted it just spelled out for them like that... I don't. But ok. Guess my cluing was a total waste. :P

6:41 pm

I hesitated, but then figured, it's still a hint. Sorry if I overstepped.

No problem, ChampFit. I guess your kind of clue is what they want anyway.

6:42 pm

at this time of night,i take what i can get.i do not stand on ceremony neil

6:42 pm

stats for the G please?

It's more than a hint... who doesn't know that character? I try to forget it exists... but you know. :P Haha!

6:42 pm

neil,if you start at the flip,they mostly clue with stats only

6:42 pm

all kinds of clues work neil because people's minds work in different ways. I would have clued it like you did

Yes, crossy, I know... I'm almost always there at flip. :)

6:42 pm

Hey, I just asked for stats! Anyone?

6:43 pm

well,there you go neil,something for everyone'

I'm sure, Bugsaw... but mine was pretty redudant at that point. Not that it matters. ;)

gn6,24

6:44 pm

Ooooooooooh...thank you! figured it must be gn

[sorry I was busy typing there and didn't see it at first]

yw :)

6:44 pm

g+ nasal ofactory organ lol there ya go neil ole bean:)

6:45 pm

Ole bean??????? Awesome crossy!

She already got it from the stats though. ;)

6:45 pm

thought you would like that

But what kind of bean am I?

6:45 pm

Na....I was still monkeying!

6:46 pm

what bean would you like to be?

6:46 pm

Lima! String! Fava!

6:46 pm

fava beans!

Oh, well you just asked for "stats" not a clue, so that's what I gave... and when you said "Ooooooooooh...thank you!" I figured you'd found it? #confusion

6:46 pm

hannibals fav!

There are sooo many kinds of beans.

6:47 pm

not to worry neil,it is all a cool breeze

6:47 pm

No...the ty was for the verification of my suspicion of the gn. Let's not overthink this...just pass the chianti!

6:47 pm

champ has the right idea!

6:48 pm

though i will take a double chivas on the rocks please

6:48 pm

*clink-clink*!

6:48 pm

6:53 pm

Can I get a clue for the second fe 4/8 please?

6:53 pm

Hey crossy :)

6:55 pm

6:55 pm

I just found one that's similar to the first, but ends in a consonant.

fe + 2 consonants... or F + plural of this letter: M

6:56 pm

Ah, got it! Thank you all :)

6:56 pm

That's awesomes Neil!

yw, if my clue helped? And hi, boat! :)

6:56 pm

Hey neil! :)

6:57 pm

6:57 pm

For the F''s. I have 43 words left.

Cute! lol

Yeah, I had to laugh when I saw that mag cover in fototrix... I thought of using that photo for it right away. Not that I'm a bad housekeeper, lol. As you can see, I even do my dishes!

7:07 pm

Hi Bea. sp6,27 -- something found in the ocean which one washes with.

7:15 pm

TY, Neil.

Or Sp**** Bob Squarepants. Since someone else will probably give that clue.

7:15 pm

you wouldnt want your cars brakes to be like this

sp7,44 -- past tense of that, sp7,40 -- plural.

7:16 pm

Ooo, thanks for those, didn't have them.

Hey lady :)

Hi herin.

Opposing equal forces: me and positivepete?

Fire words =)

Nef I was going to say Hi to you last night but I was on my phone

7:32 pm

np, herin. I've had too many phone calls myself lately

7:33 pm

YAY, meliae!!! WTG!!!

I was actually in bed babbling on my iphone

7:36 pm

LOL! I'm not ready to Babble in bed! I lay down; I fall asleep! (And sometimes I fall asleep before I lay down; especially playing Babble when I'm tired!)

you would be amazed at how many babblets you find when asleep

7:37 pm

DH reads in bed; I can't even read a bedtime story to our grandson without falling asleep. Something about laying down puts me to sleep

7:37 pm

I'm like the old baby dolls that close their eyes whenever they are laid down

Cute

7:42 pm

When I was younger I could stay awake; but not anymore. DH and I used to play Backgammon in bed before going to sleep (that was on my days off; I always worked either evenings or night shifts for most of my life

I can't shut my brain off that is the problem

7:45 pm

I don't know if my brain shuts off or not, to tell you the truth. But I've often wondered why it seems that more women have insomnia than men?

7:46 pm

Evening all. May I please have a clue for either of the ps words? Thanks

HI Ga

7:47 pm

Hi there, herin!

7:47 pm

hi GA. I have ps +3 vowels

7:48 pm

Thanks much, Nef.

7:49 pm

yw

7:52 pm

for the other ps drop the last vowel and PL it

7:54 pm

Oh, thanks again, Nef.

7:54 pm

Brain had wandered somewhere in outer space, Nef.

7:55 pm

It does that every now and then. Some people call it haveing a Senoir Moment.

7:57 pm

LOL! Mine does that too, GA; so don't worry. I had that first ps word this AM; didn't think about there being another til you asked (and I know those words from working)

7:58 pm

Well, Nef, it's either laugh or cry at ourselves. Sometimes I do both. LOL

7:59 pm

me too; sometimes at the same time too

I am not over 34 and I have senior moments

8:03 pm

LOL, Nef.

8:03 pm

then they aren't "senior" are they? Maybe just call them time outs?

8:04 pm

Atta girl, Nef.

I woke up this morning to find one toy snake in the bedroom one cat nudging me and then I got up and found the feather boa toy in the lounge door. I guess he wanted to play

8:05 pm

One of my ex-sisters-in-law used to say I was 'loopy'.....notice I said ex.

8:06 pm

thank goodness they were toys! My daughter found that the one cat gave her a "present" of a half dead mouse yesterday AM!

My mother and I have many conversations that my father doesn't understand

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWw Nef. No they don't kill anything. Thankfully

8:07 pm

My daughter's cat doesn't catch mice; but Aunty's cat has found a few this fall

8:08 pm

(I'm glad about that too! I don't want mice or other critters in my house!)

I was at my friends house and she lives on a farm. Her cat often kills mice. She did it when I was there feeding the animals as they were on holidays and the cat got a mouse. I screamed and nearly cried that kitty was killing the poor mouse

8:08 pm

Gees, herin, I just glad it was a toy snake. The other night on the local news....a woman had awoke to find a snake in her bed, under the covers......I wouldn't have had to go to the bathroom....the animal control came out and found 3 more in her bedroom.....I'd be "already gone".

Ga in that case I would be in my cupboard.

8:09 pm

YIKES, GA! That would freak me out completely!

8:10 pm

Yeah, they would just have to call the coroner.

Were they posionous snakes?

8:11 pm

The reason I haven't ever moved further south (even though I like a warmer climate) is that when I tell DH I want to move; he reminds me that there are bigger bugs down south! And I'll add snakes to that too now!

8:11 pm

When I was a little girl. We were runnig in and out of my grandparents's screen door one summer day. I barely remember going up to my mom and telling her there was a snake behind the TV. It was a 3-4 ft black snake. The never discovered how it go in the house.

Luw are they posionous?

8:12 pm

OMG, Luwanda! NO WAY!

8:14 pm

They didn't say, herin. But to me, they bring back childhood memories of my grandmother's farm and a large black dog killing a large snake.....my mother went into herysterics ( I know that is not how to spell that word) and of course, I followed her example.

8:14 pm

Nope - My grandmother caught it and let it go in the woods. I guess they kill mice. I can remember gathering eggs and finding on in a chicken's nest.

8:15 pm

Luwanda, where did your grandmother live? Mine was in KY.

In Aus a lot of our snakes are venomous that is why I asked. In Queensland I remember reading an article on the the floods and one of the isolated flooded properties they had over 1000 snakes on the high ground. I would have been elsewere

8:16 pm

There are supposed to be some poisonous snakes in Indiana but they are few and far between. The cold winters used to keep the population down. There were very few north of the Ohio River but warmer climate had increased thier reign north.

8:17 pm

Oh, my dear! Did they dispose of them or just let them go?

There was no where for the poor snakes to go. It was all flooded

8:18 pm

did they live?

The snakes no idea.

If it was me on that farm then I wouldn't be living there Ever

8:19 pm

I wandered the woods and the creeks my whole life and have never come upon a venomous snake in Indiana. I had a garter snake crawl across my foot in my flower garden last year. I definitely startled me. I let out a yell and my neighbor came running. Hubby didn't even react. He knows I'm not that scared of them just surprised.

I remember my Grandmother telling me about living in Africa and having a bed full of bugs

8:21 pm

We moved to GA from KY in 1977....had a very large back yard and my first summer here there were up to 6 snakes crawling across my back deck in one day....now, the Animal Control people and I were on a first name basis. I've always had dogs and my greatest fear was them getting bitten. I had to talk with myself and wonder if I would grab the thing if it wrapped itself around one of them and I finally concluded that I would. I hope I never have to prove that.

GA I was watching Cops the other night and there was a large black snake on this lady's porch and she was inside screaming and refusing to come out. Took a very large police officer to kill it with one whack of his batton

8:23 pm

Luwanda, where in IN did you live? I grew up in Owensboro, Ky just about 30 miles from Evansville, IN.

8:23 pm

<glad I'm still in Minnesota in spite of the weather!>

Glad i live in the suburbs were creepy crawlies are not around

OK I need to another coffee and I need to see what is the go with the heater

8:26 pm

I also rang the other half for help. I am such a girl

8:42 pm

LOL! Use it when you can, herin!

I hate having to do that

8:43 pm

Our old neighbor used to come ask ME for help when he had problems around the house (1st time homeowner)

I did tell the other half to fix his car or hand in his man card and I would do it.

8:45 pm

:-)

Cars I can deal with. Computers and heating not so much

8:46 pm

the way I deal with cars is I tell someone else to "FIX IT!"

My uncle taught me the basics because I quote 'I don't want you stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with a serial killer picking you up''

8:48 pm

Good uncle, herin.

8:48 pm

May I please have a clue for es5-12? Thanks

8:49 pm

he was. I never learned to deal with car problems; but I've always had road service

He was the best. I do miss him. He died of cancer a few years back. He sold his pride and joy so his wife could have the safest easiest car to maintain when he passed

hi jmc

10:01 pm

baby 2bit walking? you are in trouble now

10:01 pm

so I'm told :-)

10:02 pm

the best thing you can tell yourself is that a curious baby that lives is unlikely to grow into a teen that follows the crowd

10:03 pm

hahaha

10:03 pm

it is small consolation when you find your children in some danger that never crossed your mind in a million years

10:04 pm

so far she is still pretty cautious - curious, but not (so far) foolhardy

10:04 pm

well good luck with that

Well, not according to my stepdaughter after we went to see Dr Who Live show and the Cybermen were pounding around the stadium and her Dad clapped his hand on her shoulder whilst that was happening. She shrieked and nearly wet herself. if was so funny!

(faxing a smackerel to jm)

you guys have all the fun LOL

10:29 pm

ho5 and plural 6 are NOT leafy plants in MY gardem since slugs and snails loe to eat them.

i'm not sure what i would say if i had to pick the scariest. but IMO the daleks are the coolest

10:30 pm

well that is what bad beer is for jac

10:30 pm

10:33 pm

Ugh. Is a bucket and mop needed in here, jmc?

More on Dr Who and the Weeping Angels http://tinyurl.com/6kh4uqg

10:48 pm

A couple of weeks later, not thinking about this, I moved an angel statue in the garden as revamping work was going on. It scared she sh** out of my Other Half. LOL.

10:51 pm

Whatever you do, DON'T BLINK! LOL

10:55 pm

I din't blink. Did you? Oh, if you did you're a stone angel now and so can't answer me.

10:57 pm

Funny thing is I don't think anyone in that audience blinked, except for the man who coughed, even though we all knew is was pure bunkum.

11:00 pm

'Bye jmc.

Clues are up

11:10 pm

New grid time already? 2 mins to go according to my pc.

11:11 pm

it should happen in 50 minutes here Jacula

11:11 pm

Nope, another hour to go yet. MrP will get it down to a tee when she can. Thanks anyway! xx

11:12 pm

I didn't know mr p was doing it now.

11:15 pm

Yes, she is Bug, 'cos Lickety's not well right now.

11:16 pm

I am not sure she is very well either. I wish things could be easier for them both.

11:17 pm

I'd say that I never use the list, but that's not true, because I do sometimes consult it for my last few words. I also know many people rely on the lickety list that lets them enter words.

11:17 pm

Bug - no, she isn't the best she could be, but she's trying her very best.

11:21 pm

I also think that all this being 'honest' in public and trying to help others thing should just stop and that families should just go off line and get themselvesback together again, without feeling they need to say or help .

11:24 pm

LOL perhaps you have noticed that I have not been here much the last couple of months for the very reason you just said!

11:25 pm

Bug - yes and same here.

11:25 pm

I hope things settle for you then Jac. Sometimes I just play because finding words is the only thing I can control

11:26 pm

and sometimes I don't play because it just seems like another chore

11:26 pm

And, to stop you saying, in case you were tempted to, I'm going off line now. (HUGS)x

11:26 pm

hugs to you too. thanks for the laugh!

11:28 pm

Some people seem to get a lot of comfort from sharing their troubles here

11:28 pm

Hi bugs

11:28 pm

Hi jilli. hugs to you too

11:29 pm

beautiful icon, bugs

11:29 pm

indeed jilli :)

11:29 pm

I thinks it's time for me to change icons though...

11:29 pm

I would agree if I thot people here could help but I am pretty private about a lot of things involving family.

11:30 pm

hi mrp!

11:30 pm

to each his/her own, bugs

11:30 pm

Hi mr p ! I hear you are covering for Lickety because he is not well. Are you sure you are up to taking care of us

11:31 pm

hi bug... i am sure. i get comfort out of helping

11:32 pm

I try to help too but I meant I don't always tell people what is going on in the chog. I prefer email

11:32 pm

I could never finish grids without your help

11:33 pm

bugs -- you haven't been here so maybe you're not aware of what has been happening with mrp

11:33 pm

I understand that bugs... emails are thick and fast at the moment, and not all of them helpful, but am happy with the babble friends I have cause they have helped me in ways that I never believed... given me back my confidence in humanity and charity. When all is better here, I will be changing my outlook on helping people.

11:35 pm

jilli, don't worry too much about it... ***hugs*** and each to their own... is nice to be here :)

11:36 pm

bugs, I could never finish grids without the list! LOL!! It makes it fun for me to have clues and I know it helps lot's of other people have fun too! :))

11:36 pm

mrp, I've avoided emailing you because I figured you'd be snowed under, but you know you're in my thoughts all the time.

11:37 pm

That list is indispensable to me -- others try to hlep when it doesn't appear but there's nothing like it.

11:37 pm

Espcecially when we have Expert.

11:38 pm

luv to you jilli, I know... today is such a better day for me! I get my husband back soon! :)) And have been given a chance to forgive and experience forgiveness... not many people can say that!

11:38 pm

jilli, the chog is a clue paradise when the list is down! LOL!!

11:39 pm

oh, that's great news, mrp!

11:39 pm

I like the clueage, it is nice to have help on that level too cause you get to know people that way... like a nice introduction.

11:40 pm

oh yes -- the chog full of hints and the lists other make are super helpful too.

11:40 pm

mr p I hope you will remember that if you miss posting the clues, you are really giving a gift to the Babblers because we do try to take care of each other too. SOme people who are quick at grids are wonderful about posting the stats for the rest of us slower ones.

11:41 pm

I love making up word-clues but seldom get a chance -- too slow.

11:41 pm

brb

11:42 pm

yes bugs, I just said that... I enjoy that side of it too

11:42 pm

I must get ready for school tomorrow so will play later. love and prayers to you both mr p.

11:42 pm

bye bugs and thank you :)

11:51 pm

hello all!

11:51 pm

brbgonna change icon

11:52 pm

I almost picked the icon bugs chose, lol! This is a fun theme.

hello all bablers hope you are well after your celebrations

11:54 pm

Is there a way to move the word list to Lickety without typing them in one at a time?

11:54 pm

Done!

11:55 pm

There is if you use BabbleExpert (unless you have a Mac). Otherwise there's Bulk Add (See the bottom of the list.

11:57 pm

Suitably nuts, cos, lol!

11:57 pm

thanks

11:58 pm

thought so too lol

11:58 pm

Pigeon -- are you using a Mac or ot?

11:58 pm

hello

11:58 pm

hewwo mlf

11:58 pm

hi mlf

11:58 pm

pigeon its the only way it works for me even with expert

11:58 pm

hi jill

11:59 pm

Hiya cos

11:59 pm

expert is a godsend

11:59 pm

mlf, if you have Expert and still use Bulk Add you're not using Expert properly.

12:00 am

Aren't you using Lickety Add?

12:00 am
