hello neil :)
<hides gray face>
ruru must be here. The usual response one gives to him is in the grid.
Hi Blue.
stats for the M please?
Check the link in my Oct. 26 update... on profile.
pe7
me4/5
flosey is it a babblet>??
there is a pe 9 carriage horse in the grid that is not accepted (maybe I am spelling it wrong)
no, I think you're right.
yes, mlf
thanks cyber
proper noun I believe
maybe it's considered a proper noun.
phantom: furnace
7's: co x3, gr, pe -- anyone found the missing one?
pe7 x 2
pe7,40 x 2
[to be more precise]
are they similar, neil?
nm -- found it -- 7's done
No. Unrelated.
Sorry... was busy in an IM.
icon clue posted -- please refresh or whatever you have to do
hi neil
Hi jilli.
I'm all tuckered out after watching that baseball game!
who won? missed it
I feel that way too without watching baseball.
Oh there you are Blue.
Cards won
I guess you missed what I said?
bottom of the 11th -- very exciting!
I'm here..still trying to figure out what all this means.........I'm not getting the clues
Walk-off solo home run...
Hi all...
Ok. I'll try to explain it: when someone gives a clue like or6,24 for eg. it means the word starts with "or", is 6 letters in length and is worth 24 points.
oh sorry Neil.....say again?
hi again jellen
blue -- have you found the list of clues?
ooo.......ok
Oh. Check my Oct. 26 update on profile Blue... there's a link there that may interest you. Video footage we shot down at Occupy LA. I'm interviewing some of the participants.
when I go there, it loses the game.......can't seem to manage babble cues and still keep the game open
ok Neil.....will do
A friend shot it for me so I could put it in my website... getting that online finally.
When you go where?
Not sure what you mean?
to the clue list
right-click, Blue, and open the list in a new window.
You right-click the Lickety's clues list link, then select to open in a new window, Blue.
That way you are still on this page too.
right......that's what I'm not getting.......lemme try again
Then shrink it sidewaqys and put it beside the grid.
Hold down the bottom left "Alt" key on your keyboard with your left thumb, then press the "Tab" key once to switch back and forth between windows
Or do what jilli said if you don't need to have the pages full screen.
lemme mess with that......thanks
But better still, if you're not useing a Mac, get Babble Expert. It puts everything on the same page.
Ok, you right-click on the link so an options menu pops up and in that, select open in new window.
brb getting a drink of something.
stuck at 65
oopsie Nan 11 left here...lol
Stuck on what, nan?
[back]
think I'll list
Yeah. That usually helps a lot.
More than once now I've done the whole grid with no list, just to get stuck on one last word... that was only 5 letters long, lol. So I listed just for that one word and slapped myself in the head when I saw it easily from the stats in the list... duh.
And what's even more stupid? It was the same damn word... both times, haha!
that's when people slap people with a fish
I needed to be slapped with something.
that or6 word is NOT Oregon, dammit
lovely to see all of you......I'll mess with this some more tomorrow....got some biz to take care of......be well all!! will check out your post, neil, aloha!!
Ummm, no. It's definitely not.
Bye, blue
Good night to you Blue... take care.
Bye blue -- too bad you spend such a short time here!
aloha Jellen :) night folks! <poof>
But it contains all the same letters, jilli.
If that helps?
Is Blue still here or is she or****?
thanks, neil, I'll work on it but my brain has left
Best hint I can give.
I'm off to bed (have been up since 3:am mountain time)
gotcha, neil -- I had tried that minus the last letter, duh
goodnight all
Night flosey.
jilli... that same word I got stuck on at the end of the grid on 2 different occasions? It was: "stent"
**FIREWORDS**
gnight flosey
How's that for "duh"?
Congrats dizgrannie.
ty neil
I have fu 6, 4,4 5, 5 missing?
hi ruru
hi jilli
I see what you mean, neil.
congrats diz!
fu 4/13
thank you nan
that one was driving me nutso
.. a short drive .. I know
a mere nbt/nbs here
I am halfway but with lots of blank tiles
ruru?
a clue for the gh 6, please?
hi neil.. yes
Check the Oct. 26 update and link I put there.
cybernan g-female possessive word - vowel - vowel
gh6,27 -- gh + *** (time period) + vowel
Hi scouser!
I am not understanding this occupy .....blank thing
ty neil -- a new one for me
cybernan - looks like a portuguese word
*!* ta da *!*
scouser, hydra said you wanted my email? It's on profile.
Hi Neil -
just looked at the def -- no wonder!
OK Neil - thanks.
strange wrod, that gh 6
good night all :)
Hmmm that's one we haven't thought of here.... yet!
*word
yes Jillbus - definitely a wrod. I think you have christened a new chog word i.e.not quite a babblet but almost.
LOL scouser!
Fireworks here. Must go and get tarted up as need a new photo for my driving licence.
phant -- furnace
nothing like a tart driver's license
wd scouser
phantom: cruncher
Yes and if we can have ro4/4 then why cannot we have pe7/40-on which is another type of the same animal
You want to look like a tart in your driver's license photo? Yep. That might impress the cops if you get pulled over.
I see that the vernacular is causing trouble. Tarted up just means get dressed, comb hair, apply (non-existent can't use it) make-up and sit up straight.
Haha!
tarted up in america means hooker
I know that. I've been over there... had to tease though.
But yeah... it means what ruru said, here.
met a few tarts in my day
Me too.
pop tarts actually
Yeah. I can do the first three but after almost a year of Babbling I am sure I am two inches shorter cos curved over the computer keyboard for hours and hours ........
Haha. Chocolate or strawberry?
Hi ruru - hilarious icon
Did you get the video link ru?
:D thanks scouser
I remember the very first pop-tart food - volcanic temperatures
You'll laugh, shake your head and roll your eyes at some of the people there.
I haven't looked at it..but I saved it neil
do you understand this movement here in america?
to me it's a bunch of people who don't have the money to go to a club and have fun
ruru, I think the anti-Wall Street thing has sread to Europe too
*spread
Yes ruru. But this will explain it much better for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wa ll_Street_movement
(too tired)
I mean I do understand the youth of today.. going to school and coming out and ??? what.. I don't have a job waiting for me/ attitude
but what does this accomplish.. ?
'They are mainly protesting social and economic inequality, corporate greed, corporate power and influence over government (particularly from the financial services sector), and of lobbyists."
"The participants' slogan "We are the 99%" refers to income inequality in the United States between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population."
oh please.. and how is this going to change that
I just didn't feel like typing all of that.
Who knows... but doing nothing will change nothing.
I'm sure John Chambers really worries about that when he fills his Bentley with gas
I give up -- going to bed. At least I got over halfway. Goodnight all!...*poof
ruuster has his goat back!!
hi and bye jilli!
hi neil (hugs)!
"The word will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation" - Albert Einstein
Hi mrp! :) Good to see you.
How's it going there?
<----go ruru go
hi mrp :)
hi dart! (hugs)
it is going... not my best day, but F it... will have a BBQ later and creatively develop my plot for a happy evening
what is the point of having your head bashed in by a cop in Oakland jacked up on too many espressos and donuts
Sorry to hear that mrp.
No point at all. I'm very upset over how the cops are acting. Those cops need to take lessons from our LAPD. They've been good with the protestors here.
Oakland... hmmm, a friend of mine got carjacked there
Even bringing them in supplies... it's been very peaceful here too.
is there protests happening?? what am I missing here?
(((((ruuster))))) missed you the last couple of days :)
Occupy Wall St. mrp.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wa ll_Street_movement
oh my! must go look that up
please tell me wild sent you some donations mr p
Similar demonstrations are being held in 70 cities all over the country now, including this one.
will go look ruru... brb
sorry ruru, no dice. have you seen her about?
I've done protests neil.. this one just seems like social defiance. with little purpose and certainly very little leadership or direction
unbelievable mr p..I'm a little bothered you don't have it
agree with you on that one ruru
i do have good news ruuster! I have a house to move into... in just under 12 days... chasing up the government agencies to pay my bond and 2 weeks rent. that does take a while to get.
that is news I will take mr p.. oh that sounds good
great mrp!!
I know that wild is a teacher and she can be overwhelmed with being busy, and she has contacted me at the beginning of week saying that she was waiting on a canadian transfer that was going awry, and would get to me in a couple of days... but haven't heard otherwise.
Oh wow. so happy to hear that mrp!
she should send what she has.. there's plenty to help you there. I'll be happy to send more too
about your house! That's great news.
I agree ruru, btw... I didn't create it, I just decided to interview some of the protestors to see what they had to say. Their ideas get pretty interesting. Some are... just bizarre.
the house is very private, a three bedroom at the back of bumf***-nowhere... just what I needed! and it is about 3km from this house, AND, as I am in a bind, Mark's 'boss' has agreed to pay for the removal costs if the agencies doesn't help. I have been much more relaxed since yesterday after finding out about getting a house for us. I will send photos!
You'll find the footage amusing. I had to make real effort to keep a straight face with one guy there. You won't need me to tell you which one.
bum**** sounds really nice mr p
LOL! thanks ruuster! pretty much means no one will be coming around there!
That sounds just perfect mrp! :)
Yep. Peace, quiet and privacy. And your stalker won't know where the heck you are... that works.
Make sure your new phone is unlisted of course.
[which goes without saying]
I am getting a private mail box and silent number
Good!
those that know my number know how to find me, but no one can 'look me up' now
Stalker Prick will weep tears of frustration.
Yes. That's how you need to do it.
AND... i started back at refereeing on Tuesday night... against all doctor and specialist orders, but I had to to get my sanity and life back!
That's how I have it.
My family and friends/work associates have my number... nobody else can get it.
glad I don't have a stalker
neil, i only found out today that his best friend lives one block away from my new house... but he won't know where I am cause I live well off the street and have a private garage
I'm glad you don't either ru. Lucky you!
ugh
me too ruru..unless you try coming here to "fix" my computer or internet connection :)
Oh shit, mrp. Does his best friend know what you look like too?
LOL.. yeah..let me at it dart
just for one week
I just hope that guy never sees you coming and going if he would recognize you.
Hi dart.
just look up dart in the wichita phone book
hi neil
Haha very funny.
and I have good security... no way anyone can come up to my new home without external alarms going off either!
*sends wigs and fake eyelashes to mr p for disguise*
I have a pretty blonde wig you can borrow mrp. It didn't look too fetching on me.
i will put on my disguise, take a pick and see if you all recognise me! brb!
was that from burning man too neil..lol
Oh that's good mrp.
No, ruru. Halloween. Didn't you see it? It's in my Flickr album... one of the public photos there.
A lot are private of coursre.
of course even, geez.
Laura says I look like Jessica Simpson there. On a bad day. Yeah... she needed a shave. I thought it was funnier to leave the razor stubble there and apply the makeup over that.
LOL.. good one Laura
you're scaring us neil...or maybe scarring
I think both.
Probably.
there are no left turns in Wicita neil
LOL
nope
Here you go dart: http://tinyurl.com/3hwom6n
[and ruru]
Haha ruru.
that is scary
Yep. Well it was Halloween after all.
and it's WicHita ruru lol
*calls Glen Campbell*
he's out walking the line I think
We read typo well though. I'd better... I make enough of'em myself.
dart? Check my Oct. 26 update on profile and the link in there... the video link.
uh.. neil?
Yes?
you look like Brett Michaels in the wig.. without falling off the stage
Why thanks! What a compliment.
*mails Bandana to neil*
Especially the part about NOT falling off the stage, lol.
I try not to do that.
It wouldn't be easy to shoot photos if I did that.
[I'm never on a stage for any other reason]
A has nearly fallen off a few times though.
karaoke?
Me? You've gotta be kidding. No way.
*gr5*
Haha!
I mentioned you when I first saw this grid ru. That was my first word found... thought of you right away.
For some reason!
few drink..some friends..never know...you got into that wig after all
neil got the brains and his brother got the pipes
Wow. Thanks! I like to think I got them... some days? Not so sure.
<--that's ebonics in action dart
Haha, dart.
*imagines dart in a wig*
Even more amazing... I got into makeup.
Applied very badly as you can see... because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.
Oh jeezus
Like my gay brother said, only a straight man could apply makeup that badly.
yeah.. I have to agree
you have that sorta beyonce-from-hell kinda look..lol
He laughed... told me the lipstick goes on the lips, not on the teeth.
Yep. Well it was Halloween... was I not supposed to look scary?
*mission accomplished*
how come mench isn't accepted
Because it's "mensch".
s in there somewhere
mensch i think
You goyim... tsk tsk.
I just told him that.
i couldn't see you typing that though
oy!
Oy vey iz mir.
I am sooooo stuck
Yeah I know, dart.
Whatchya need ru?
Whataya want from me? :P
pe 7 X 2 I bet
[clues wise]
The 2nd pe7 is too easy... one who does pe5,16.
I'll find them.. I'm just not as savvy as you two
You're pretty good ru... you finish every grid don't you?
Many don't.
I do.. I don't miss them or dart would never let me hear the end of it
ok, just getting pic up
yes he does...unfortunately
ready for pics mr p
we have a jilli sandwich now...and ruru is in a stid/jilli sandwich
a sort of menage a trois dart?
just updated...not true anymore...was 5 mins ago
Neil, It's morning, 8am here and my 4 going on 50 year old granddaughter has just said if we say THAT WORD at school we get into trouble. 100 lines 'I will not use that word again here'. Please x
maybe a sandwich a trois?
*holds bar of soap for patxxx to get ready for neil*..lolol
maybe
that from like 15 mins ago?
had to say that in Calif. speak for ruru and neil :)
lol
I can't find one more word.. see you guys tomorrow
how many left ruru?
29
I'm really stuck for now though
golf in 7.5 hrs...i should head too nite ruru
really.. you shouldn't putter around here much longer dart
did you get to the airport in time last night?
heard that one the other night...starting to repeat lol
what are you driving at dart?
that was tue nt/wed mrng...made it just in time :)
good for you.. hell to pay if you didn't
did she survive the long trip?
yep...she only had about 3 hrs sleep that night...and i know how that goes from all my shift work in the past
ugh. poor mrs dart
she's doing ok...still a bit tired
had a big todo for her work tonight..20 yrs with the comp.
okay.. see you tomorrow and back to the chase.. sure you don't need a break for a day or two dart
Morning ruru, I told her that he meant to type func. Bad move, she is still looking at me in that 'you can't fool me way',
oh.. that's nice.. did you go?
yes...made an appearance..so i can put some faces to the nems i always hear her talk about
names
well pat.. late at night .. many people think that just adults are here
I know but it's breakfast time here. I will remember, no It so rare I'll just carry on as normal.
I have sworn in the chat.. so I'm not so innocent either
i know that you were kneeling in church to atone for that...maybe cause of your leg probs?
Most of my swear words are in the enable!!!
that one works too pat
*F*** was not found in the dictionary
it works here i think
ROFL
you are too funny dart
worked on tanglewords...use the same enable i think
night all.. I'm off to bed
back
bye ru
Your swear word, Pat? Oh goody. You mean there's omeone else besides me here with a propensity to pepper their conversation with expletives? Wow. Pleased to meet you. :)
Uhhh... "someone" else even.
she was talking about you a ways back, neil
Oh the F-bomb? My personal favorite.
She was? Pat was? I don't even know her.
read back a bit
ok... here we are
I just did, haha.
I said that word at that age!
And I turned out ok... I think?
Welcome back mrp. :)
jury is still out neil :)
lol dart!
how do we see it mrp?
Well don't mind my language if you watch the clip I've linked to in my Oct. 26 update.
It's not too bad there though. I behaved myself for that... mostly.
i loaded it... I have to close down my BE and restart it to get my pic to reload
You loaded what mrp?
her attempt to look like you neil lol
the pic is stretched !! looks like my boobies are huge!
Haha! I don't think she'd wanna do that.
I might aspire to look like her though... next time I decide to do "drag" for Halloween.
Wow mrp! *covers eyes*
dart? http://tinyurl.com/3qkdts8
hmmmrefreshed so i can see it in your icon..but when i click , still get the old one
Me too, dart... are you also using Google Chrome?
firefox...switched when they did the last update on IE...had to click the add for each word...doesn't work when you are flying at the start of the puzzle
Neil, Don't be sarcastic, it doesn't suit you!
Uh, yes it does. I'm sarcastic by nature.
Sarcastic isn't just being rude.
Read profile if you don't think so. ;) Or this: http://tinyurl.com/3f7bk9e
I don't think sarcastic equates to rudeness.
Necessarily. And I don't think I'm a rude person... neither do any of my family or friends.
finally got it to work mrp......like it
How did you do that, dart?
I haven't succeeded yet.
had to close the browser...not just clear cache
Oh hey! I just opened her profile again and saw the cat with the melon rind hat... but then I right clicked and selected "reload" and there it is!
So that's what to do in future I guess?
You need to disguise yourself like that when you move, mrp. Of course then you may gain other stalkers... for different reasons.
she is probably deep in the grid
Yep. Did you get the link I gave you?
saw it...don't want to get frustrated at this time of night
Oh are you still working on the grid?
no, been done for an hour+
Yeah, I wondered.
was done by my first comment on here
I know you're pretty speedy.
That makes more sense.
cant hold a candle to you though
Don't know about that.
i type 2 finger style...thinking you don't
No of course I don't. I'm a journalist... I write for a living.
I took typing in high school and have touch-typed ever since.
But it's probably all down to typing speed then.
I've always played a lot of boggle type word games online... Word Racer mainly and now Letterblox too.
think you know a few more weird words too
good morning neil and dart! since you guys are done, maybe you could clue the m? thanks :)
Could be? Don't know. I have the advantage of knowing all of the Yiddish ones that crop up though.
me 4
And other Jewish-related words/terms.
Hi debjed.
sounds like the host of the tonight show with a diff first letter
thanks :)
And other weird words from the other online word games and puzzles... you learn a lot that way and one game helps improve the others.
can play letterblox for about 5 games....always see the same words and half the time you can't get into any rooms because it says that you are too high rated
Oh you're on OMGPOP too?
Same name as here?
and it is a typing speed game too...i used to mouse on tanglewords
Wow. I want to see how high rated you are on there?
or highly.
kind of like text twist
How do I find you on OMGPOP?
think same name as here....dont go very often
No, I just tried that... didn't work.
knock off a zero or two then
No. None of that has worked.
dart0 then
Got one for that name. You're at level 8?
And your status says "wasting time"?
howdee all you who are up way too late
not sure...dont play that often...yep
Must be you. Only game played is "Letterblox".
Hi Gwen.
12:51 am here.
hi BDG
252 am here and gonna run
I hope it's you dart... just added as a friend.
Me too... so goodnight dart and everyone else.
nite neil all
goin' on 4am here
hi book! sleep darling
nite to all those leaving!
nah 8-?
GOOD MORNING, tiny grid :(
howdee rubyfoo
hello gwen
funs
sorry, bad ruby!
snurl!
are you snurling at me? hahah
i think snarl should be worth some points. HUMPH
ack, i mean snurl.
and furzle too, for that matter
my sweet Ruby dog just had a big adventure. The sheep, working the field above us,m gotout of their barrier and Ruby got out of her leash and went after them
too cute
she didn't bark or anything but was VERY curious
is this a sheepdog or a regular ol' mutt?
she's a chow chow, could never be trained to be anything but nice
they are notoriously independent, much like HUGE cats
so, a little bitty dog, then?
little bitty 75 lbs
purple tongue, black gums, Chinese
hey, i can't lift 75 pounds! little bitty would be 20 pounds . . .
lift? I can't even push her!
so, leash is pointless, eh? lol
she wears the leash on her walks only because of cars
but she couldn't be a nicer dog
we've had 5 chow chows and she is the smartest and funniest one
and she takes care of her autistic brother: opens doors for him, alerts me when he needs to go out
my pet experience extends only to gerbils. they are maybe 5 ounces LOL
<-- autistic Max
kitty lunch!
max is a dog or a human?
oh, yes, gerbils are snackable LOL
max is a black chow, pictured here
I had gerbils when my son was little and the cat used to sit on top of their cage, licking her lips
(do cats have lips?)
i have never eaten a gerbil but i'll bet they taste just like chicken (joke!)
doesn't everything? NOT!
sure cats have lips . . . it's the chickens who don't
ah, i ckicked on your icon, now i see that it's a dog. (so small in this chat room i thought it was a treetrunk or something)
he acts a little like a tree trunk or a bag of coal
except in his "connected" moments
but he's a sweet boy
just too inbred
well, i'm gettin' sleepy finally, gonna try going to bed now. it's going on 4:30 am for me here. night!
sweet dreams, gwen, dream of the Dewey decimal system
half, nbt, nbs and saving 35 for later
morning all
morn sprite

welcome back
thanks
fireflies. Bye all, have fun.
morning, all!
good morning sue
hi, wv!
how's your morning going? Foggy here
can't tell yet, it's dark :-)

Cute icon Teach
and yours too!
hi, molly!
Morning Sue

good morning
so I do not see the chat
so I do not see the chat
so I do not see the chat
so I do not see the chat
Hmm, I see the chat
morning all
Its okay now, I was getting that word couldnt be added message
hi sue
Hi Molly
Early Halloween trickery. : )
Yes, I think so
negro isnt a word?
hello?
Enable must consider it a proper noun
I hope so, because I have had to type a lot of gross words in this grid
There are all sorts of proper nouns- ge5 for instance.
I think the cu4 is also gross
but we all know how treacherous Enable can be.
you mean co?
no, cunt, oh gross
and many other offensive words
I thought you meant in this grid.
no
what the ge5, types of lets say music?
the hawaiian bird is here
I though it was a town in Italy, but apparently it is a jib for racing yachts.
thou.ght
I thought it a type of salami
Also, salami
its a brand of salami...lol.....good morning everyone
ty kaplan
Hi River
Ah, obviously Sue owns a racing yacht.
my chat response is very slowwww today
we cant get rid of words like Nigger, negro, etc because they mean something. It is like getting rid of the Holocaust because it makes people uncomfortable. Human did horrible things and if we dont remember, we repeat
yes kaplan, I keep it in my bathtub for long afternoon fun
lol sue
Y'all are so helpful! Ty...

good morning everyone. How I have missed you all
((((Mom)))) Where have you been?
Hi Mom
Hi Mom, welcome back
((((Annie))))) I have been around just no time for my usual babbling.
As long as you are well...welcome back to babbleland
hi all
I am just fine. Darn life keeps getting in the way.
hi Carlee
(((Molly, Flosey, Carlee))) good morning
life does that at times mom {{hug}}
it upsets my routine :-(
good morning, carlee
hi again, all!
Annie, I mailed your beans yesterday
hi flosey, annie, molls..{[group hug}}
maybe they will get there tomorrow before the snow
hi sue (budge into the hug sue)
ah, that feels so good carlee
hi Uusue
breakfast time here, and when did it get to be 8:07??
*crawls into group hug*
i just woke up..work at noon today
Mom, thank you so much...cant wait to make bean soup...have a ham hock in the freezer waiting
(((hug))))
I am so glad to do it, Annie
sue... we had pink northern lights here other night
oh, carlee, we had red ones, and I missed them!
:(
ours were over the lake
Mmmm, bean soup with a ham hock
speaking of beans - we came home with groceries from Trader Joe's the other day, and I decided to organize the freezer a bit - Frank had bought a couple of bags of edamame as they are a form of carbohydrate that he can eat
well, as I was making room for them, I found FIVE (5) more bags of edamame already in the freezer!!!
<----- wants to be like uusue and organize my freezer
heheheh..always the way
so we have had edamame in our rice the past several nights :-)
:-) uusue
well, it's still not THAT organized but at least I have an idea of what is already in there
i need to fgure out what to do with my left over turkey...crowd hates turkey soup
<----- have only a reasonable clue what is in ours
turkey ala king
my old freezer was like that..my new one ( upright) loads easier to tell what i have
turkey casserole of some sort?
love that too mom..but crowd hates soups and stews
this goes over rice or toast
I have a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer but it is still way out of hand
am thinking turkey with dumplings...but i do them crispy on top
turkey chili?
chili is a soup or stew
turkey pot pie?
ah, but I've never thought of that, thanks Sue
Is it Canadian Thanksgiving?
our freezer went out in the upright upstairs so I had to hurry and take everything to the basement and just kind of shove it in there.
it was 4 weeks ago...i did mine on sunday last...
well, that's one way of organizing it, Mom!
now I need to straighten it up. Sigh but here I sit babbling away
i was sick on thanskgiving..then i had campt the following weekend
ugh..i so dont want to go to work today
Mom, sometimes we just need to take a break
thanks Flosey
chin up carlee, an extra hug to get you going
thanks flosey...
explain to me why the vulgar term for African Americans is accepted but not negro
i am trying to not burn myself out
(((((carlee)))))
and (((((mom)))))

thanks sue :)
hope babble and your coffee dates help you in that regard Carlee
Hi, Mom!!

Good day to all. 29 degrees and snow is covering the trees and grass. Winter has begun.
scrabby!
indeed scrabbs,we had snowlast night as well
<----Covers ears, sings LA LA LA and refuses to hear about winter.
morning, scrabs. i haven't looked out a window yet, but it's 21°F here.
Hello King of Blue Mtn!
Where do you live, Molly?
back in a mo, need another cuppa and need to swap out laundry.
got your skis waxed up scrabbs?
In Maryland
My skis are ready and I have a new pair of snowshoes to use!
I hear winter is coming..for everywhere but the Napa valley
So, Molly, winter for you is uncertain.
...we still have grapes to harvest
Ruru--how is your knee? Do you have a surgical date?
not yet.. maybe closer to xmas..
Oh joy to the world
I picked my remaining tomatoes and lettuce last night while it was snowing.
...all I want for christmas is a brand new knee.. a brand new knes.. a brand new knee
Focus on March--done with rehab and ready for the tennis court.
And for Hanukkah...8 days of Percodan
<---has never played tennis on morphine
The benefit = you won't care if you double fault.
It's aces : D
probably not a good idea
LOL scrab
where are my last 28 words hiding?
name that proper noun! she who was lost in "the raven"
Lenore!
oohhh, Molly beat me to it!!
ding ding ding!
AND Mrs. Roosevelt :-)
eleanor!
ding ding ding
Une your icon is hysterical
tx molly :-)
lol, yes it is
:-D
33 to go . . . back in a mo *poof*
hi again, all!
Haha, Une. Good one.
Hi Hurshy and Sue and Une
and I agree with molly about une's icon :-)
hi
hi, scrabs!
hi uu...let me read your profile
who's seen the one about "Occupy Mordor"? "because one ring should not rule them all"
Alright, where are the words hiding? I found 23 and am stuck now.
I have, hurshy - there are a lot of variations on that as well (occupy the Sun, occupy dark energy)
the great thing is I can pun to my heart's content and no one can gr5
hi unea, UU, hursh and ru
indeed, ruru :-)
hi, lbd!
gm l;bd
anyway, ruru, short story is that things are probably ok
nooch sounds acceptable to me
YEAH UU..
Do you have to do a biopsy?
yes, scheduled for November 8
oh. what a pain in the neck
:D
haha
Uh, oh, which body part is misbehaving, Sue?
thyroid
finito!!
Nodule?
I had a lump burned off my neck using X-rays when I was 4 weeks old
yay, lbd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nodules are common uu.. but it is great you are checking them out
yeah lB.. it can be done!!!
multiple nodules but most are small (even the big one isn't all that big)
Aaaaaah, not good. In the '50s radiation was used to cure facial acne.
Done? Wow. Good work, dawg!
ty, some odd words and hard to find cuz of the twistiness of the grid.
also for tonsillectomies, if you can believe it!
The good thing is that if you need the entire thyroid gland removed you will do fine.
THank god they didn't use radiation with circumcisions
I didn't know that, Sue.
lol, ruru!
At least radiation wouldn't be painful for the babies.
although it would be kind of cool to glow in the dark
<----Smacks fingers to keep from responding about radiation and circumcisions
Phantom = rancor
LOL Molly
well, I have nbs but still 4 blank tiles, and must go do some grading. Will keep an eye on the chat just in case some words show up, though :-)
good idea uu.. but don't count on it
I have to pack up for a hike in the woods. I must leave in 10 min to meet a friend. Bye kids.

I hear the sound of heads being scratched.
ha.. Ruru.. the chapunst artist!
chlotsobsat

(scrchh scrchh)
The sound of one hand scratching.
thermostat?? (scrchh scrchh)
pe 7/40 please either?
lots o'...
One who pe5/16s
soundls like a card game minus a letter ru
ah, bs. thermostat was nothing- just a rhyme.
other is Ruuster on a barn??
(and TMI Kap)
TMI? How?
actually it LOOKS like card game.. not sounds. Sounds like what it is.. a variant sweet.
I don't want to know what you're one hand is doing!LOL
oops. your
would someone clue the pe 7's please
I'll be less cryptic if you wish Ru.. but where's the fun in that?
my chat isn't working ...weird
I've BEEn cluing them!LOL
ah.. mine wasn't either earlier
I get really irritated when people put apostrophes in plurals. It drives me bonkers.
We did clue the pe7's. One who pe5's and pe + ***turnal emission + not she
found one..
it doe's?
American's do this often.
no we's dont!
found them.. if the chat ever comes back.. bye all
refresh fixed it for me
People have been having problems with chat lag all morning. I think someone has a giant icon loaded.
ahh
Trentsnana has a big one
Excuse me?
LOL
your icon pic. it's huge
Oh, sorry.
yeah...that didn't come out right did it? LOL!
I've been on here plenty of times and no one has complained.
largeicon pics can often cause chat lag trentsnana
it's a beautiful pic though! :-)
Hi TNana. I didn't know you had a big one. : P
Okay, I changed it, but it's still showing the other one.
I guess I do, Molly!!
Hahahaha
there, is that better?
nice pumpkin
ty
very nice pumpkin!
I just read Mr. K*A*P*L*A*N the Magnificent
clue for the M word pls
me4
plural of not a woman + a vowel
hi all
rolin also has a large icon (not falling into THAT one again!LOL)
that's probably why the chog messed up.. compounded issues
ty
is rolin on?
I don't get it. Do people not check their profile when they add a picture? Or do they not know that there is a size limit?
I guess I didn't - sorry.
many do not know of the size limit or are not usedtoresizing pictures molly
darn space bar
done it myself at one time
but i thought the large pic only mattered if you participated in the chog
I guess I am guilty of that, crossy.
Well, if this place EVER gets upgraded, there should be a size limit placed so that over sized pictures can't be posted.
hehe,my mrs had a pic uponce that crashed the entire choglol
I guess not because I wasn't chatting many times I've been on, including today.
i had to hustle to fix that one
that is such a good idea molls you really should email it to dr god
well if large pics are causing issue, it must just be if online??
That would help, Molly. I put it on there and everyone was saying how beautiful it was. No one mentioned how huge it was and I didn't realize it.
goodness crossy that must have been some pic
it not a massive deal trents nana,and it was a really pretty pic
I will pay attention from now on!
Most internet message boards and chat forums have size limitations on graphics and will not allow you to post one over a certain size.
It's fixed now.
it was jmc,was a jumbopictureofone of our kitties
lots of geese this week
Because trust me, there are people you do NOT want to see giant pictures of.
hahaha that would be me for sure molls!
Geese?
hawaian geese

Oh...honk!

Well put them to good use, make them serve Mai Tais.
we did a skit in class yesterday about our group and one of up wasn't there so i dressed a 4 foot tall teddy bear in a "grass" skirt to represent her since she was from hawaii

Good afternoon babblers

crossy has the big 50 breathing down his neck mid-life crisis time

lol do what i do bichon.i have a tablet and babblein bed:)
Joke time: What's the difference between male puberty and male mid-life crisis? 30 years. : P
Well, that's a good idea, but what about the fluffs. They going to sleep in and just watch. they want their walk and food
,,,
wsell re:the fluffs,ifthey are small yappy type anklebiters,just open a window,holdthemout at arms length and squeeze
:)
that is way too funny. What about the neighbors
joketime:my wife wastired of all thosecrappy anniversary presents of late,soshe saidtome"listen,on the first,i want someting out in that driveway that can go from zero to 200 in 6 seconds and i want it wrapped in a red bow" i agreed so when she waled out into the driveway,there was a small box wsrappedin a red bow...anicenew bathroom scale;))
as for neighbours,tell themnot to walk under your bed room window at 7 am
thank you all for giving me some smiles!

We had snow last evening ruby. Just enough to coat the greenery. It's all melted now
I am not looking forward to snow! Last year we had all of it at once in Dec and then no more, all winter
DH annoying you. Mine went to work. He's annoying me by email <ggg>
we still have roses....
Ruby got loose this morning and went up to investigate the visiting/working sheep in the field.
wife and i were shopping the other day,and i went to get a case of beer and she toldme toput it back as it was too much money to waste on junkl ike that,so we continued shopping and she starts grabbing all this make-up and i say"what about the budget?"she says well i buy this to make myself beautiful for you" ,i said "well thats what the beer was for and it was much cheaper!"
she was sweet and didn't bark at them, probably was interested
lol lol, crossy
Does she like to roll in sheep poop? My Muffin [long gone] used to roll in horse dung
maybe Ruby is a sheep chow
happily, she didn't get that close!
they are beautiful though
this place is amazing

anyone have the co6?
good clue, holly :) hi everybody
beer.
my brain insists there's a T in this grid so I keep trying things like gent, and cogent, and argent...
left column gray, need help with u words pls
have un6/21 and ur4/5
There are two ur 4/5 and a un 4/6
ur4/5 x 2 peri
i'm sorry, is the co6 beer?
ty Molly and Une, will look
Helena, would you like a slice of lime in your co6? : )
glow around the moon, no?
:-D
OOOOOH
thanks
Sun, actually (although I suppose you could label the lit-up clouds that you see the moon through that way as well)
and hi again, all!
ty found ur4/5, looking for the un4/6
LOL love the correction, sue :-)
u's done, first two columns gray, ty
hey sue, what news?
<---Commoner...always assumes people would get beer clues
molly LOL!
hi, jes, probably ok but I will have a biopsy anyway (Nov. 8) just to be sure
haha, i got the beer one
at first though, I thought "beer" was jsut a random friday afternoon thought - not a clue
cool. glad it's nothing obviously scary! :)
me too!
and, when you said lime, I was like "lime in my coconut?" and that was just a fail
but I got it!
not random, definitely a good Friday thought, tho... LOL!
actually the co6/21 (or a slight variant of it) is in the description of my icon for today
just found a totally fishy a from the lower right, sigh
19 left, bbs
is that the ar5/10? if not, stats please? :D
it was, jes, don't know how I missed it
heh. well, i'm apparently missing 51 others, so... sometimes they fall out and sometimes they hide :)
and finally found the er4/6 so now I have nbt! Phew!
oh! thank you :)
anyoen have the cr6?
phantom angora
argh is a word! i say it all the time!
cr 5/12 but add a consonant for the cr6
seriously? it accepts fu6/30? i cannot count the number of times i heard as a kid "it's more fu3; fu6/30 isn't a real word!"
i thought that too, jes
ty shirlock
i try everything that i see, never know when the monkey agrees
are the co7s compound words (co+word we already have) or totally unique words?
unique, it sound like the beer and is a layer of the sun
oh, i have that one, sorry
the rest builds of it
ooooh, ty
huh, I get one co7/32 from that but darned if I can see two more
haha, they all have the same first 5 letters
pl, adj, and one who
ah, ok, not quite that related then, and I just found them
not related
indeed none of the three are related to each other. Interesting!
builds off it, not related except the pl
ok, time for colloquium (we are hearing about cosmology and how it is related to particle physics! I am so excited!). bbl!
gh anyone?
gh plus long time period plus vowel
thanks, saanichcat
thx for the gh
welcome! I remembered THAT one from ages ago
some of these words are hard, considering it's a short puzzle
pe7/40?
something you write with + oc5,14 minus the last letter!
thx tllc
hi all. can i get a clue for the pe6,24 or the pl6,27?
How's the babbling brook?
Thanks for the gh clue. I struggled with "long time period." EON is there too, but it just wouldn't work.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm damned glad it's Friday.
Glad? I'm euphoric.
I can upgrade to euphoric.
lol
Cute picture of you Smoove. : )
thanks
pe6,24?
I still don't have any a's from the right-center
I have one
pe clued at 3:46
Well, are you going to share?
I'm trying to figure out how to clue it.
:)
that pe was for the pe7. i need the pe6
Oh sorry
ok--A + two letter word meaning negative +vowel
pe6 is like the No. 2 writing tool, but spelled differently
ty very much
thank you too
Oh, I got the other one too
The other A? Are you going to share? : )
An pluss a long fish with 2 lettrs swchedit
sorry my cursor is messed up
switched.
Speaking of fish, I just got smacked with a pe4 that I hadn't seen
Gee thanks Helena. So glad to have that lime in the coconut song running endlessly through my brain.
You drink em bot' up and you call me in de mo-orning
thank you Kap
I said DOCTOR
ain't there nothing I can take
I said DOCTOR
Ain't there nothing I can take
to relieve this belly ach
you put de lime in the coconut and drink--
oh, stop it!

I said DOCTOR!
better than a steven lynch song, which is what was stuck in my head last night :P
I remember before I got meds the theme song from The Nanny keeping me up all night
She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing Queens
when her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes
i've never seen it, kap
i don't have tv
what was she to do? Where was she to do? She was out on her fanny...
NO TV????????????What do you do for culture?
Now you're going to tell me you never heard of the Kardashians!
you guys are my culture.
And this is our little petrie dish.
i've heard you mention them. but i don't really have any idea what they are.
Jes, you are so blessed. You truly are.
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door, She was there to sell make up but the father saw more, She had style, she had flair, she was there, So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door, She was there to sell make up but the father saw more, She had style, she had flair, she was there, That's how she became the Nanny.
I I saw a picture of two of the kards without makeup- and you know what- they are actually pretty- not as grotesque.
Not that I care.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
how can there be 2 more f's I wonder?
Fu5 is stupid
one more f. Go little monkeys
those f words are fake.
I killed the chog.

It's like my brain is a huge receptacle for every dumb jingle or great poem I ever heard
Hi Car, grab something alcoholic. You might need it for this chog conversation.
my memory is fading, and occasionally i think that's a blessing LOL
Hi Molly
Ooooh! Sounds good!
I would say it is more of a monologue.
I have already taken to the alcohol

something like that, jeff

My brain is cold dark matter.
It's cold and dark. What's the matter?
we've noticed, kap
thank you.
My brain is cold and dark but doesn;t matter
holy crap, Texas has just eliminated physics degree programs at Texas Southern and Prairie View A&M - both historically black universities. Not a smart move IMHO.
why?
I mean why did they do that?
This week, the University of Wales imploded
and is no more
but has reinvented itself with a new name
not enough graduates, kap
wouldn't it be more positive to recruit more students rather than close the programme
exactly what I was going to say, glant!
is it an issue of colour?
especially since I think we need more science and technology graduates, not fewer, if we are going to stay competitive
don't we all...
only secondarily; the fraction of physics students who are black is tiny, so if you are going to cut tiny programs, those are the ones that get cut
sciences have been less popular in our schools for about 20 years than arts, and this has had a knock on effect on univerities
ya think?
I can't see the ce 4/6...clue please?
If they don't do something about the rising cost of college education, universities are going to start facing closure.
heard an interesting radio programme this week about a lady (whose name I can;t remember) who pretty much discovered pulsars or quasars
it has two of the same vowel but not in order, car
Car...The Greatest American H*** add a c
ce4- easier to monkey than clue...
Jocelyn Bell, glant
Ignore me, clued the wrong ce
she was saying that she put up with all sorts of stuff because when she went into physics/astonomy she was the only woman and it was 'put up or shut up'
that's ok, molly, I needed that one too
ce4/6 and egg dish, but remove a consonant
It isn't easy for me to monkey! I can't find it!
yes, and she never got any credit for the discovery; her boss got all the recognition
*an* egg dish...sorry
JOcelyn Bell it was
he got the nobel prize
I tried to clue it at 5:06, car
she was very determined in a quiet way
ce + I ho** you find it Car
i just clued the ce4/6...can you all see me?
Got it! TY!
i can see you cath but don't get the clue LOL

Yes, to a nightclub

Min, our public school internet providers have all such web sites blocked. No fun.

I have finished this on4/5 again, so here is a story of clues. When I was in seventh grade,I moved to a new town and went to a new school. There were many cr 5/14 who teased me because I was fat.They thought it was fu 6/30 to tease the new person than to make friends with me.The only one I could le4/4 on was the guidance counselor. The teasing became so bad that I wanted to end my life. The counselor pl 4/5ded with me not to do it. She kept me from drowning myself in the oc 5/12. My husband has go 4/6 ballistic waiting for the computer.I'll pe4/5 myself away from this and go watch the residents of Ge5/14 City on The Young and the Restless.May pe4/5 back in here later tonite to see if any babblers still need any clues.Bye for now

Well I am puzzling over the second oc5,12. I have the sea and the red color.
Excellent Mr. P

(((MRP))) yaa for new house!!'
Wonder if hego babbled today.She's in the grid today.
(((((crossy)))))
When we moved into our current house 20 years ago, my wife said that it was enough. When we sell the house again it will be an estate sale.
replace the last letter of the oc5/14 with a vowel
There are only 2 oc 5/12 words in the grid today wht
o + c****e is to make something from scratch
Congratulations on your new house mrpresident!YAY!
I am very excited! the house is much smaller of course, cosy you could say, but it is very quite and away from the PRICK

Congratulations wht on your fireworks! Good for you
And yay, wht!
Is the Android phone equivalent to the iPhone uusue2
Pretty much, min, except it is open source
Based on the Linux operating system
Two reasons why I am not getting the iPhone: I don't want to switch to AT&T and it is way too expensive.
What does that mean?Know nothing about cell phones
there is singing in the middle of baseball??
oc 6 pls
I am already on at&t
at least you guys get unlimited data plans down there,up here smart phone plans are deadly
usually at the bottom of the 7th inning MRP
red, add a vowel to the 5 before it
Someone sang National Anthem at the beginning of a baseball game tonight mrpresident.It was horrendous
i will not get a smart phone till better plans come out
Used to be take me out to the ball game after the seventh inning, mrp, but now it is god bless America
Yes, Min. In the middle of the 7't inning it has always been traditional to sing "Take me out to the Ball Game" but since 9/11 they also sing "God Bless America" then too.
thanks MRP
That oc 6/21 word is oc 5/12 word plus vowel big red

I pay about $75 for unlimited text, 2 gig of data, and more minutes than I know what to do with
we have 3 big providers who have a stranglehold on the market.till the rules change we are stuck
mrp here we deal with an evil govt entity called the CRTC
canadian radio and telecommuications council
does that stand for controlling rats of teleco council?
they make the rules on all things tv,radio and cell
and phone
for example we are not allowed to see www.hulu.com
why the hell not??
can v.s u.s copyright law differences
hulu is blocked for us
I typed that website in my browser.Never heard of it
So if you type it into your browser, what does it say?
min,it is a place to watch t.v shows
sec...
it says that we can't watch anything either, only available in the US
Sorry, currently our video library can only be watched from within the United States Hulu is committed to making its content available worldwide. To do so, we must work through a number of legal and business issues, including obtaining international streaming rights. Know that we are working to make this happen and will continue to do so. Given the international background of the Hulu team, we have both a professional and personal interest in bringing Hulu to a global audience. If you'd like, please leave us your email address and the country in which you live, and we will email you when our videos are available in your area.
the page says that to me too
same reason amazon will not sell kindle readers to us canadians
not that we want it,with its file format restrictions
crying now... my chickens have gone to a new home... :`((
poor chickens;(
I never knew that about amazon. What about nooks?
blackie, feisty and jellybean... my darling pets... :(
top inning, bottom innings... who is who??
we used to name our barn animals things like rump roast pork chop,bacon boy..just so we would always remember what the end result was supposed to be
excuse me whilst i go find some tissues for my tears... i love my chickens
Hopefully new owners will also love them just as much as you do.So sorry to hear that you had to give'em up
Visiting team is the top
nooks also min..but the nook has a more open file format so that is why i own one
Home team plays the bottom innings
my wife has a sony ready cause it works internationally,and the kobo reader is also a good choice now
What does that mean? You can do more with a nook?
I have just heard of kindles and nooks, not other two
Can U also babble on any of these technology readers
on my nook i have just gone over 150 books on board.i cannot live without it now.it is an etire library in my pocket.it hold my work files,my home billing files and about 100 family pictures and 200 or so songs
min there are various file formats...
sue... is this a deciding game for the world series?
kindles uses a proprietary format..which means you can only buy or download books from the amazon site...
Yes, mrp
Best of seven and they have each won three
I don't know why I am asking all these questions. It is not like I'll be getting one any time soon, wish though
other readers like the nook,sony readers and kobo reader can take various file formats including the file format called E-pub which is used by nall lending libraries
i have been going for the Rangers
Maybe in my next life I will have an iPhone and a nook
min..i would give up my t.v cable and phone before i gave up my reader
Frank doesn't like rhe rangers because they used to be owned by George bush
but Hamilton is a hottie on that team!
And st louis is sort of close to us
is texas closer to us?
Ah, I haven't been looking for hottest although I am partial to beards
I think so, mrp, as it is further south and west
I could give up my phone. Not so sure about my cable.
ok, and i like the pitching of the rangers
Except for the relief pitcher who hit a batter on his first pitch and walked in a run...
you see, i am lost to the rules of the game! i know there are strikes and no ball scored
i am learning though, it is much better than the crap game of cricket that is played in this country... it is just soooooo boring!
and baseball is beginning to come to Australia, professional that is.
isn't josh hamilton cute!!? see?
There are a lot of subtleties to it
baseball is fun mrp. everyone can play even if you only have enought people for one team and an extra
so... if you hit the ball, you have to run??
Yes, you have to touch the base
And then go around in order
But if the ball gets there before you do then you are out
if you hit the ball you run to the next base and try to get there before the man on the base catches the ball. lots of good races
And if the ball is caught before it hits the ground you are out
ok, cause if you hit the ball in cricket, you don't have to run
and people who started running because the ball was hit, have to turn around and get back to where they were if it was caught outright
my God the crowds are huge!!! there must be over 100,000 people there!
More like 50,000 I think
ok, so reading the rules would help me?
Probably, mrp, but also seeing them in action
I also notice there are lines around the field... if the ball is hit outside of the line, it is a walk??
No, then it is foul and not in play
and can it be caught on the full outside the line of the field?
Yes even if it is foul you are out if it is caught in the air
Yes, if a foul ball is caught on the fly it is an out.
this is so eyeopening for me. I live and breathe baseball, just got hit with the fact that it is not a universal game. thanks for opening my eyes
ah! ok... getting to understand a little more
it would be in the stands then and it is called a home run. you get to run all around and score a point.
so hitting the ball as hard as possible is the aim, get it to the stands??
hoem runs are the best, expecially if the bases are loaded which means there is a man on each of the bases
Balls and strikes refer to where the ball goes over the plate
Joey, I had that realization when my son first joined Little League. Kids would hit the ball and you had to tell them to run to first base and tell them which base it was.
joey, i only just started to watch it cause someone here on babble got me interested in taking a look at it.... now I am slightly addicted and want to know about the game.
It has to be over the plate and between knees and shoulders in height to be a strike
My son wants to play baseball, so I thought I also better have a look at it... it is called little league baseball here I think
Sometimes it is better to not hit the ball so hard but to a place where the fielders can't get to it.
Otherwise it is a ball
mrp, it is an interesting game, fun to watch. Takes your mind off of a multitude of problems, at least for a while. just be aware - tonight is the last game until April
If three strikes go by you are out
the cardinals keep catching the balls that are being hit... not so good for the rangers
wht you also have to tell them to stop at first base. I remember all the adults rolling in laughter when the 5 year old all headed out to the far end of the park
you got it, mrp
for real?? so I am watching THE final!
And if you swing and don't hit it is a strike no matter where it went
yes, this is it.
Well, actually Spring Training starts in February, but I doubt if you can find those games on Australian TV.
this is the biggest and last game of the season
Australian season starts here next week bugs... will watch it
Yes the team that wins tonight is world champion
bet your son would love it. it is exciting but not rough
Where world is the us and canada of course
pitchers and catchers report in the middle of February, then position players about a week later, and then "practice" games run for about 30 days
and how many teams were in the series to start with?
World Champion of the North American Leagues.
so there are pitchers and batters?? not all players get to bat and pitch?
There are about 24 teams
8 teams go to the playoffs
There are two Leagues, the American League and the National League. The World Series is a 7 Game series between the champions of the two leagues.
some are only fielders?
ah! so this is a BIG GAME!
At the end of the regular season there are various rounds of playoffs
yes. they field and they bat and run the bases. the others pitch or catch and maybe bat and run.
by the time they get to the pros they all bat but only play one position on the field. Your son will get to play all positions until he finds the one he loves
this is a huge game
All players get to hit (except in the American League where the pitchers don't). Only pitchers pitch except in exceptional circumstances.
Ok, 30 teams total, 14 in one league and 26 in the other
Oops 16 in the other
in cricket... all players have to bat to the last man out, then the game is over... that is in the test series. In 20/20, all players get the chance to bat until they reach the end of 20 overs (6 balls an over) and who ever got the most runs is the winner in both the test series and 20/20
cricket is baseball on valium
I knew I didn't understand cricket
two teams are playing right, mrp?
and they only have about 5 bowlers per team. Yes, two teams play
In baseball each team gets three outs, then the other team is up
Each set like that is an inning
A game is nine innings
ok... diff to cricket... the whole team plays to the end of the overs or until last man is bowled out... then the teams swap
Unless they are tied at the end, then they keep playing until someone wins
so an inning has how many balls pitched??
I see how that would make baseball a faster game
Could be a lot or a few, just depends on how long it takes to get three outs
ah! no matter how many then
looks like the cardinals won!!
And st louis wins!
well, that was most exciting!! and thanks for helping me understand the game girls and boys!
So each batter is up until they get 3 strikes, 4 balls, or hit safely. A foul ball is a strike unless the batter already has 2 strikes. Then a foul ball is just a do over, unless it is caught. So a batter can still be up for 11 or 12 pitches if they foul off a lot of balls.
So what you should do is come over here next spring, mrp, well go to a few games and I will explain it all to you . :-)
sounds like a plan!
Chicago has two professional teams
If you count the cubs, that is (they have not won a world series since 1908)
Cubs won a world series?
They were the first team ever to.win two.in a row
1907 and 1908
thanks, I really didn't know that
they must get paid a fair bit!! The crowds are huge so the income would be massive for the teams!
Haven't won one since
Many millions, mrp
used to be that baseball was the lowliest paid sport. now they are right up there with the football and basketball players.
they do, Mrp. The one batter for St Louis will probably command more than 18 = 25 million dollars for a year
same as soccer players.... huge crowds and supporters pay those players huge money!
must get going, have to be on the road to Colorado in the morning. hope to be able to do the grid, but may not have access. :-( be good everyone!
holy cow! and then they would get commercial money on top of that... sponsorship etc
Bye, lbd
nite lbd
bye dawg! have fun hun
Good night. I hope you have enjoyed your baseball education, Mr. P.
Gah, had the fu6 early today and just got the ru6. Sigh.
night wht... sure did! thank you
can anyone clue the pe7 please?
Hi all. I'm up so late (4.31am) because I only got back from a week's holiday in North Devon (UK) just before midnight, did the essential unpacking (stuff to go in the fridge), then my daughter arrived to see me before she goes back to her new(ish) temporary home in Romania and brought me lots more stuff to put in the fridge. She's been here for 10 days trying to clear her house here out. Then she, myself and her brother engaged in one of our political, social and put the world to rights conversations that we've all three missed, but especially her. She could have such conversations when she was living in Oz., but not so much in Romania. I'm just winding down a bit now and still doing the odd bit of unpacking - the rest and all the washing to be done will be done later, after I've slept.
bugsaw, add an ending to the verb before
Bug - Hello. pe7 is a type of fudge.
Hi, jac!
mine was the second pe 7
I whizzed through Babble at about 2.30am because I'd done it all on paper earlier when in Devon. (Beloved can get the grid up on his Blackberry.) The one word I hadn't found was gh6.27. Never seen it before but I know what it means now!
Hi sue.
so the first pe7 is fudge?
Ok, I have 6 words left and must go to.the computer to.finish
Bug - 2nd pe7 is one who sits on a branch for the night, maybe?
pe 7/40 is writing implement plus actress Juliet Bi*****
Hi Min. Good clue!
Hello Jacula and thank you.
and here I am on the computer!
trouble with the phone is that the word list doesn't scroll
pl 6 pls
sue - Beloved just gets the grid up for me on his 'phone and writes it down. The rest is up to me when we're on holiday with no computer and no real net access.
pl6 sounds like what you sit on at the park
pl 6/27 word rhymes with what you sit on at the park
pl6 is a tool used by astronauts. A cross between pliers and a wrench.
that's doing it the old fashioned way, Jac!
cool, Jac, I didn't know that!
thanks Jac and Min. Fireworks for me.
Sue - it's the way I used to do it when Babble first began.
