12:10 am

meh, this one I'll be content just to make it halfway, but I just had to do the last one. *all puffed up* :D

12:11 am

me too rbud, was just determined to finish it

12:12 am

took a break to go for a walk

12:13 am

that an babblet is our little buffalo

12:13 am

2nd column H stats please?

12:13 am

I would have stuck out the 744 if I hadn't had a bridge date

12:14 am

dart and ru both finished, I see... was wondering about that, lol!

12:14 am

ha4

12:14 am

did you see who finished first rbud?

12:14 am

there were lots of clues jilli

12:14 am

I think it was dachef? I don't know if they show in order in the archive or not.

12:15 am

(did I spell that right?)

12:16 am

It did look like fun -- I did a bit of it that night

12:17 am

anyway Dach was the first while I was playing earlier, not really sure if someone did it before that.

12:17 am

If the rankings mean anything BR was first. Darts is about 5th

12:17 am

ru showed before dart, if that list is in order

12:18 am

rankings? or archives, that's what I was looking at, just wanted to see who all made it. Amazing amount of people, really.

12:19 am

I finished -- it took me 4 hours and I think I was 3rd or 4th

12:19 am

from the rankings, it shows ru as not having finished some grids

12:19 am

A lot said they wouldn't do it and then changed their minds. It became a very, very large challange just thinking about it!

hi, I was done after a little more than 200.

12:20 am

but it was fun, everyone was in happy mood

Congrats, ARB!

12:20 am

Ru doesn't always finish. Dart...is dart. Heclaimed halw-way in about a half hour!

12:21 am

howdy herin

Crossie I would take that t-shirt. I finished that damn thing at 4:30am I was bloody determined to do it

3:45 am

i give you congrats indeed herin! i alas,did not finish

I used more words and the list. Bless them

3:55 am

hi, herin, I just answered your mail.

3:55 am

I want to know, truthfully, how many people actually finished the monster without using a list. I got to about 385 words and called it quits.

3:55 am

{{crossy}}

3:56 am

I'll be right back, have to make aperos for husband and DIL

I had a first birthday to go to today so I had no option

I would have given it a red hot crack if I didn't ahve to go out today

4:04 am

141! What a SWEET number!

Hi jay

4:04 am

Morning all

4:05 am

I see you finished too herin--i did but it took FOREVER

4:05 am

(((ruby)) crossy did not finish the monster grid

4:05 am

how far did you get?

4:06 am

i got to 300 or so

4:06 am

which is WAY more than normal

Jay I stayed up till 4:30am. Stupid life got in the way of not having more fun

4:06 am

quite amazing for me actually

4:07 am

well i GOT up at 4:30 and it took until almost 11. Shameful really

Cross yes I think anyone that even attempted to even do the grid needs a big pat on the back

4:08 am

back, sorry

4:08 am

of course i see today we are rewarded with no S

4:09 am

so that means I can get a t-shirt anyway?

It is ok Ruby

4:09 am

it was great fun, especially as we watched the reactions of people entering the grid

4:09 am

the most profanity I've seen in here LOL

That is why I logged in and said hi

4:10 am

I thought it was great fun and it, too, was the most words I've ever gotten (380-something), but knew I couldn't possibly get any more than that without devoting the rest of my day

4:11 am

now I will (rudely) ignore those upstairs, and try for a few words before lunch

4:11 am

true. i have a lot of laundry and vacuuming in my schedule today!

Ruby at least Max was at home when you found him. poor you and poor Max at least he can run free over the rainbow bridge

4:13 am

yes, one of our babble friends sent me the rainbow bridge -- was it you? It made me cry but also feel better

Wasn't me but it is something i talk about.

4:13 am

I had never heard of it, but it was lovely

I do like that there is a cartoon around of a big fancy pearly gates and a boring field. The boring field is were the people and their pets go

4:14 am

in the movie, Chocolat, one of the older parishioners has a talk with the young priest about whether dogs have souls

I remember that

4:15 am

<-- loves that movie

I will just have Johnny deep thanks

4:16 am

but Alfred Molina is wonderful, too (just not exactly handsome lol)

True

4:26 am

Every dog must have a soul, somewhere deep inside Where all his hurts and grievances are buried with his pride. Where he decides the good and bad, the wrong way from the right, And where his judgement carefully is hidden from our sight. A dog must have a secret place, where every thought abides, A sort of close acquaintance that he trusts in and confides. And when accused unjustly for himself, He cannot speak, Rebuked, He finds within his soul, the comfort he must seek. He'll love, tho'he is unloved, and he'll serve tho'badly used, And one kind word will wipe away the times when he's abused. Altho' his heart may break in two, his love will still be whole, Because God gave to every dog an understanding Soul!

well dog backwards is God so that says everything

4:27 am

thank you, crossy, that brought forth some tears. However, chow chows are not forgiving. Kick one, once, and he will never come near you again or forgive

4:27 am

there was a New Yorker carton say that about dog and god

I got to hold a 13 week old fluff ball today. SO cute

4:28 am

picture of a dog with a cartoon box above his head"dog = god and the cat next to him with the box saying "god = cat"

4:29 am

Ruffino is now about a 25 lb fluff ball. After this past month of incredible weight gain, I can no longer pick him up!

I prefer cats not a fan of the in your face lick lick lick

4:30 am

a lot of people feel that way, but chows are so aloof that a lick from one is a big deal and Rufie is a licker LOL

4:30 am

there is another that shows a cat and a dog being fed,and the dog is thinking"they feed me,and keep me warm,and play with me..they must be gods" and the cat is thinking "they feed me and keep me warm,and play with me,I must be god"

4:30 am

did I say 25 lbs? closer to 30! and only 4 months old

4:31 am

hahah, crossy

4:31 am

i cannot wait till my brother bull mastiff puppy gets his growth spurt!!:))

4:32 am

<-- loves bull mastiffs!

4:32 am

but I think they're not allowed in France

4:32 am

and anyway, 2 chows is a full-time job

4:32 am

this one is still under 4 months and 45 pounds and paws the size of bread and butter plates;))

4:33 am

and he'd probably eat the b and b plate, too, or at least carry it around....

4:34 am

he is already being trained not to eat shoes

4:34 am

Rufie finds a shoe upstairs and then runs like crazy and takes it outside

4:34 am

lol

4:34 am

it is too cute not to laugh

4:35 am

(won't be so cute when he weighs 80 lbs and takes me with the shoe

4:39 am

lunch time (almost) see you later

4:40 am

{{crossy and herin}}

4:45 am

((ruby)) 5:40 am here.may try for a bit more sleep now

5:37 am

hi everyone

5:47 am

Hello everyone!

morning, quite a switch rom yesterday....

6:14 am

Yes, definitely! How are you?

did a lot of people finish yesterday?

6:22 am

More than I would have guessed.

6:22 am

Sounds like quite a few people did. I got to 631 words and then collapsed.

6:23 am

And hi Molly and Kaplan!

6:23 am

Need to take care of the kiddos. Poof!

6:26 am

A little over a hundred. I can't be held accountable for accurate counting on my first cup of coffee.

6:27 am

never got to finish, as licekty wouldnt show all of my words ,and neither did the word list. was left with 100, and too tired to try to figure out what words i had left... kind of su cked

6:31 am

That happened to a few people Ivesy. What a rip off. I feel bad for anyone who worked and worked to try and finish and was stumped by a non-working word list.

6:32 am

really made me mad.. . but oh well, just a game .

this is true.

6:33 am

Ivesy, what browser do you use? I was wondering yesterday if this was an Internet Explorer problem.

i sometimes think that the size of the grid affects everyone's psychological state for the entire day.

6:34 am

explorer 8 ... i noticed a problem with puttin words in after about 400 words.. they werent showing up as entered in either spot

6:35 am

happened to me too ivesy ... stopped at 147 to go yesterday

6:37 am

stopped at 100 ... well now i have learned my lesson, with a grid that big, wont plan on finishing. obvious problems

6:37 am

Well, yesterday was certainly an interesting showing of how invested people are in solving these things.

yesterday's grid should have been a two day allowance

6:37 am

Ivesy, next time there is a big grid, try using Firefox and see if that helps.

6:38 am

I agree Jean, did you have a nice birthday?

yes, but I still have four more nights of celebrations

6:40 am

Hooray for extended birthdays!

I agree! This has been a first for me

6:40 am

good idea molly will have to remember that.. and i agree esprit..specially with the problems people were having

6:41 am

I have a cousin who celebrates her birthday month and she sure enjoys it

6:41 am

Hi Maggie

6:41 am

Hi Molly

6:41 am

am waiting patiently for my next year bd, as i can collect soc. security... this year will be a stepping stone lol

I had no time for such a grid, but it was fun finding words like telephonics.

6:42 am

I don't have time for the big ones either Kap. But it was fun watching everyone race to the finish.

We are unlikely to have such a big grid for the next few years. what my little bit of fun was ...

6:44 am

actually words were easier than in the small grids. prob. becuz of all the extensions

was watching everyone start out when they saw the 744

i thought so too, could do no wrong.

6:47 am

me too kap, they were hilarious

6:52 am

I think I had more fun observing than actually finding words.

7:10 am

morning all

Afternoon All,

7:24 am

How are we all today - I was disappointed in a way that I couldn't do the big grid - got to about 250 and then we went out - and stayed out till about 0100 this morning!

7:24 am

Hi Kazzer

7:24 am

I managed about 300 before giving in

7:25 am

I love grid with really long words in them - and there were plenty yesterday

7:28 am

hello everyone, I wasnit able to Babble yesterday, were there 744 words? Wow.

7:28 am

yes Annie - opened up the browser and had to reload it cs I didn't believe it

7:29 am

hello everyone

7:29 am

{{annie}}

7:29 am

LOL. I probably would have started but never would have finished.

7:29 am

hi Ruby

7:29 am

(((ruby))) did you finished yesterday's grid? :)

7:30 am

this is a quick visit before i go and dish up sunday lunch - we very rarely eat it at lunch time - usually have an evening meal but lovely roast water buffalo today with roasts and lots of healthy veg

7:31 am

finish? foal!! I got to 380 something and then quit

7:31 am

who has time?

7:31 am

Burt's daughter just hooked me up with skype with my son who is in India -- what a treat!

7:31 am

744..must have had lots of S's

7:32 am

but we had to use her computer, couldn't get the sound on mine

7:32 am

Ruby, that is great!

7:32 am

lovely - you will be able to speak easily now and it free - or it is for me

7:32 am

the best part of yesterday was watching people's reactions when they entered

7:32 am

! Much profanity! lol

7:33 am

yeah - i missed all of that - anyhow off to stare at water buffalo and veg

7:33 am

I still don't really know how to use it as that was my first call

7:33 am

water buffalo? is that like Mark Ruffalo?

7:34 am

Ruby!

7:34 am

yay a reasonable sized grid. . . i was afraid it was going to be 12 words today

7:34 am

annie, do you have skype?

7:34 am

hi jmc

7:34 am

it would be fun to hear our various voices

7:35 am

and accents

7:35 am

no, ruby. I just about know how to turn a computer on. You are speaking a foreign language.

7:35 am

i have skype but used it only twice. . . once to set up the Washington State meet up

7:35 am

and John looked good, could even see his blue eyes!

7:35 am

nice ruby!

7:35 am

ruby, that is really cool.

7:35 am

(talk about speaking a foreign language.....)

7:36 am

he was telling me about the cows in the road in Chennai, I started laughing and he said "Did you ever hit a deer? These are much bigger!"

7:36 am

I am happy, can't stop smiling!

7:37 am

Annie: I am totally inept on the computer, can only send e-mails and play a couple of games

7:37 am

:)

7:37 am

i am so glad for you . . .it is hard not to see your kid for a long time no matter how old they are

7:37 am

ruby, that is exactly where I am...computerwiese

7:37 am

and mine is 48!

7:37 am

* omit E at end*

7:38 am

7:39 am

7:39 am

7:39 am

I did!

7:40 am

good for you !

7:40 am

congrats godthaab and good morning

7:40 am

indeed mom i was just afraid it would be teeny tiny

7:40 am

Not me!

7:40 am

it was like a grand pajama party; peeps who came on stayed on for hours!

7:40 am

Thanks. good morning

7:40 am

wtg godthaab!

7:40 am

hello god!

7:40 am

{{molly}}

7:40 am

I stopped at 300, couldn't stand it any longer

7:40 am

Hi rubyfoo

7:40 am

*throws belated confetti at godthaab*

7:40 am

morning Molly

7:40 am

Thanks!

7:41 am

besides I think my sweetie was getting hungry :-)

7:41 am

is it your b-day, god?

7:41 am

i liked that part of it ruby. . . unfortunately it was a day i couldn't spend much time in babbleland

7:41 am

I was there at the flip, and I thought "This is history in the making" I had to finish!

7:41 am

but it was great to see all the lurkers come out and play and talk

7:41 am

hi godt!

7:41 am

Someone talked about 744 T shirts.

7:41 am

I thought it was all very funny and fun

7:41 am

i was glad to get nbt and nbs

7:42 am

the chat was really rolling yesterday. So many different conversations going

7:42 am

Crossy was talking about t shirts

7:42 am

crossy talked about t-shirts "I survived the big one of 21 April" or whatever

7:42 am

it was fun, sorry I couldn't finish either although I did get over half way, which is probably more words than I've ever found in a grid!

7:42 am

and we decided you didn't have to finish

7:42 am

it was like old time mom and i hope it keeps up

7:42 am

Ironically, I don't think I will have time to finish this one today!

7:42 am

same for me, sue

7:43 am

It was like being at a marathon and watching as people crossed the finish line. I had no interest in being in the race, but I was glad for everyone who finished. It seemed so important to them.

7:43 am

yes, jmc, it was. I really enjoyed it.

7:43 am

i got it done to 500 left which seemed pretty reasonable since i went to a baseball game that went into extra innings

7:43 am

half way today and a little more than half yesterday. I'm easily satisfied

7:43 am

haha godthaab that is life in babbleland

7:43 am

and the Nationals won, that is much better than babbling

7:44 am

they weren't playing the Cubs, were they?

7:44 am

i found 31 words on my blackberry until the score what tied

7:44 am

you're talking to a perennially disappointyed Mets fan!

7:44 am

marlilns

7:44 am

Thank God it didn't happen on a weekday

7:44 am

marlins and they will probably be rained out today

7:44 am

<-- was in NY for the '69 miracle

7:44 am

jmc, Umber pitched a perfect game yesterday for the White Sox...they showed the ninth inning during the Yankee game..it was majorly exciting!

7:45 am

our company had Marlins season tickets but it was only the 1st 2 yrs

7:45 am

WOW that must have been great to watch!

7:45 am

I have missed the camaraderiea (sp) that seems to have been missing here lately. I do enjoy you all

7:45 am

ah, we saw a bit of the White Sox game at a restaurant but no sound, so I don't think Frank knew it was a perfect game in the making - he is a HUGE Sox fan!

7:45 am

<-- loves mom

7:45 am

I was jumping up and down..pretty good for an old lady...it was great

7:45 am

7:46 am

((KJE)) good morning

7:47 am

DIL and I started to do some gardening but it is soooo cold

7:47 am

gm mom!

7:47 am

I do believe KJE was another of the finishers yesterday

7:47 am

hi kje!

7:47 am

"oomphie annie"

7:47 am

*throws confetti on kje*

7:47 am

I listened to the game when Drysdale pitched a perfect game during the world series....We all stopped working and just stood there in awe...that was a hundred years ago

7:47 am

my oomph has gone by-the-by

7:48 am

Ruby, what is the weather like at Christmas where you live?

7:48 am

how many people actually finished the monster?

7:48 am

kje, did you finish yesterday's grid?

7:48 am

one never knows

7:48 am

it was not a hundred years ago Annie, that would make you older than dirt and you are not that old

7:48 am

matter of fact you and my dad are the same age

7:48 am

it was in the 60s

7:49 am

we had a lot of snow in Dec and then none for the rest of the winter. Had about 18 really cold days , then very warm in |March and miserable now. Can't generalize

7:49 am

I wonder how old dirt is

7:49 am

Weeeellll, not that old. harummphhh

7:49 am

ah, Shay and Whitney want us and her parents to go to Paris for Christmas next year

7:49 am

GO!

7:49 am

A little over a hundred people finished. I counted on my first cup of coffee, so don't know what the accurate figure is.

7:49 am

with all this rain, the house is getting filled with dirt and is starting to look older than.....

7:49 am

probably depends on the dirt. . .i have some in my garden i just made last year in the compost pile

7:50 am

<--- not overly thrilled about that since I have never flown

7:50 am

Wow Mom! That will be nice.

7:50 am

I'm pretty sure there is some under my bed that is ancient

7:50 am

nice mom!

7:50 am

Paris in Dec might be rainy but rarely any snow

7:50 am

and it is soooo beautiful!

7:50 am

<--Sympathizes with Mom. Doesn't like flying.

7:50 am

warmer than here

7:50 am

but I can't imagine having Christmas without my parents.

7:50 am

it is soo cool to see a sunrise or sunset from an airplane. . .not to mention the stars mom

7:50 am

and our other son

7:51 am

I used to love flying but not any more

7:51 am

<---- will not be looking out any windows

Sorry--confusing clue--use starred letters once

7:58 am

I cleaned out my fridge yesterady - every single condiment had been expired for at least a year

7:59 am

oh, kje, I need to do that!

7:59 am

guess you will be going to the grocery

7:59 am

oh poo pickles never expire. . . those dates are fiction

7:59 am

I am sure I have things that expired in 2009 or so

7:59 am

if it hasn't changed color it is fine

7:59 am

well, I have been using the dijon a couple times/week and haven't died, but it expired 12/2009

7:59 am

phantom ... fidget

8:00 am

the mayo, I rarely use, expired 2/2011.... I didn't have the guts to use that, seems much iffier than mustard

8:01 am

mayo is riskier than mustard but basically if it smells okay it is fine too. . . the risk with mayo is the eggs and they are not an issue with commercial mayo

8:02 am

it is the problem with being single... stuff expires before you can use it all

8:02 am

small jars is all i ever buy anymore

8:03 am

it is the same here with just the two of us.

9:43 am

I took lots of breaks so it took me longer than some

9:44 am

doing well here so far, 33 left and not listed. bbs

9:44 am

I read a book instead. lol

9:44 am

It was a great one Jac suggeated.

9:44 am

What book Hego?

9:45 am

the Thirteenth Tale

9:45 am

Ah, a ghost story.

9:46 am

not really

9:46 am

My sister is reading a spooky one called The Night Circus.

9:46 am

a spooky old English mansion type story.

9:47 am

I read that

9:47 am

very different

10:18 am

The Night Circus is a terrific book. Not spooky at all. Well worth the investment of a few evenings!

10:19 am

I liked it, very different. creative.

putting these books on my list. Hello all.

10:19 am

I continued to visit the Cirque de Reve in my dreams for a couple of months after I finished it.

10:20 am

Hi Red!

10:20 am

Hi Red, you will enjoy The Night Circus.

10:20 am

I can believe that Fuzzy

10:21 am

Hego, another great book is "Cutting for Stone" I can't remember the author, but I haven't been able to pick up another book yet because that one was so good.

10:22 am

I rad that and loved it also.

10:23 am

the Fistula foundatio is a real charity in Africa.

10:23 am

Yes, it was epic and wonderful. I had to go and learn more about Haille Sallese and the history of Ethiopia.

10:23 am

They give young girls their lives back.

10:24 am

There was a PBS Frontline episode on the Fistula foundation.

10:24 am

and being a nurse made even more interesting to me.

I like front line, and also does anyone watch Independent Lens on PBS?

10:24 am

I saw that1

10:24 am

yes Red

10:25 am

I watch both Re

10:25 am

women everywhere should see that Fronline.

10:25 am

I find the circumstances surronding getting a fistula very sad...

I just discovered independent lens, I am amazed at all the different topics they cover. yesterday was about the electric car...and the development.

10:25 am

agreed

10:25 am

I contributed the next day.

agreed times three.

10:26 am

A worthwhile charity.

10:26 am

It's terrible the way women in Africa suffer.

10:26 am

My sister usually recommends good books. The Night Circus is on my "to read" list.

10:26 am

Not only in Africa, but middle east as well

10:26 am

read it Molly.

10:27 am

yes fuzzy

10:27 am

You won't regret it

10:27 am

meanwhile, I hate this grid!

10:27 am

Yes, I am at 23 and ready to call it quits!

I have 48...not thrilled, but after yesterday...

10:28 am

yesterday's was fun, I got to 200 without even breaking a sweat.

10:28 am

I like ti recognize words, not guess them. Cheez!

10:28 am

Have a wonderful day all!

10:29 am

ty and you too

yesterday was fun, but it went on an awfully long time. I never finished, but I got over 500.

10:30 am

that's great!

10:30 am

I noticed there wasn't a huge amount tht finished.

10:31 am

More people finished than I thought would. I had no idea people would hunker down and commit to a grid that size. I guess I underestimated Babble Addiction.

10:31 am

Me too

I had a lot of time on my hands luckily. I never pulled up Lickety so I had no chance to finish.

10:33 am

without a list for long ones, I foget which words I've entered. lol

10:33 am

I keep trying the same ones.

10:33 am

I feel bad for the people whose word list froze and could not finish. What a rip off.

10:34 am

oH, that's bad.

I like Lickety but I find because I dont have expert, I dont like to keep switching screens. My grid towards the end was very slow and running scripts, but really I didnt finish because i didnt...

10:35 am

I use split screen

10:35 am

two windows

I might should but...well whatever. I just do what I can, and move on!

10:36 am

right attitude!

10:36 am

It's good not to take this too seriously Red. : )

10:37 am

Red has her act together

I have so much stress right now hego and Molly, that there would be now way I could take it seriously....even right now I am working...

I have a few surveillance screens running in the backgroumd...

10:38 am

sorry to hear

Well, I love it, I just have to get used to this.....

and get the other person who was doing my job horribly to stop trying to train me!

10:39 am

you will

we'll see. and the good news, no health department alerts that I can see for the weekend!!!

10:40 am

that's good.

moving on, I am adjusting to this new role, so I apologize it's always on my mind.

10:41 am

when is the old dept head moving on red?

10:41 am

you'll settle in.

10:41 am

11:51 am

Ivesy, you have my sympathies. I would be crushed if we got snow this late in April.

11:52 am

. kids havent had snow days this winter, looks like they may get some... sure library will be open and they will all come trooping in to play on the computers

11:53 am

The library is open when school is closed?

11:54 am

yes. surprised they dont have us open on sundays

11:55 am

Our libraries are run by the county. If school is closed, they are closed too. They are open on Sundays only during the school year and for a short day.

11:57 am

dont think we have money to be open on sundays. had some major cuts this last budget period.. we cut a few hours off our sat schedule and from children room . guess its based on population, have to stay open so many hours.

12:04 pm

Good afternoon!

12:04 pm

12:17 pm

It's a slow movie.. but there's some great lessons in it

12:46 pm

12:51 pm

I have to mutter under my breath.. .."well... I liked it"

12:51 pm

2:09 pm

I am stuck with 13 left

2:09 pm

help with the E pls. I have ec5, ed4 and em4

I just don't want to.

2:13 pm

at least I don't dream in Babble

The speakers meetings are tough though Ivesy. Just listening to how people neglect their spouses, children and responsibilities just to Babble makes me want to cry. But there is hope.

2:13 pm

I can quit, I've done it 2 or 3 times.

2:14 pm

Sometimes I see yellow squares when I am dozing off.

2:22 pm

ah, that reminds me of an evening when daughter (in teens at the time) was on her way out in a very short leather skirt - I made her come back in and change, "but Grammie though it was cute" said she

2:27 pm

The prefix "peri" means "around". As in round, round get around, I get around.

2:27 pm

Yeah, Grammies will do that.

2:36 pm

2:39 pm

Wht, chilly up your way? I have a fire going it's so chilly here.

2:40 pm

It is cool and rainy.

2:40 pm

It is not bad. And we really need the rain. So it is good.

2:43 pm

ah, that would do it too

2:44 pm

Hi Shirl

2:44 pm

we don't often see men wearing shirt/tie around here - very casual dress

2:45 pm

Casual dress is a good thing. People are more comfortable that way.

2:45 pm

yes, for sure

2:45 pm

i know i am :)

2:45 pm

clue for the me7, please.

2:46 pm

2:47 pm

and hi again all!

2:47 pm

hi sue

2:47 pm

I still have 41 - must stop talking and look for words

2:48 pm

we're interviewing for a few jobs so have been seeing more suits, which is rather funny since none of us were business wear

2:49 pm

but it does show respect when applying for a position, I think

2:50 pm

true, but i think you can still look professional with the suit -- these days anyway

2:50 pm

esp. if the suit isn't well fitting

2:53 pm

I've been retired 20 years, far removed from the business world

2:54 pm

Good day all. Happy Babbling.

2:54 pm

bye, wht.. hagd too

2:54 pm

bye, wht!

2:54 pm

3:06 pm

Malice

3:07 pm

3:11 pm

Cos, you are such an aficionado on that show : )

3:12 pm

lol i know. its kinda sad because everyone on FB goes to me when they have a question about the show :)

3:15 pm

the werewolf professor from hogwarts is a word.

3:15 pm

me 7/36??

3:15 pm

sounds like the AMA word.

3:16 pm

I really miss LOST. The guy that played Desmond was on Fringe this week and it was so good to see him on screen again.

3:16 pm

just a diff. middle letter

3:16 pm

ama word??

3:16 pm

molly --- i know what happens in the finale of LOST --- but should i still watch the show anyway? it's on my netflix queue

3:16 pm

ama -- doctor group

3:17 pm

just got a bit of a surprise, am home alone and suddenly hear voices in the next room! hubby's baseball game just came on his laptop, whew!

3:18 pm

scary, flosey! :-)

3:18 pm

Cos, I think LOST was one of the most epic things ever on TV. I highly recommend it.

3:18 pm

lol good thing it isnt the middle of the night

3:18 pm

was for a minute sue, he's up the mountain cutting firewood, gorgeous day here

3:18 pm

that's for sure cos

3:19 pm

thanks

3:19 pm

with a partner, a 22-year-old son, a dog, and two cats, I am never alone and it is never really very quiet here :-)

3:19 pm

You can't figure the entire show based on the finale. There is a lot more to it than that.

3:19 pm

when i am home alone and paco starts barking at something -- itgets creepy.. its usually jut the wind

3:20 pm

ok great molly -- thanks! will watch it when i finish the old V tv show

3:20 pm

we're on a small farm, neighbours are not very close - but probably could hear if I screamed

3:21 pm

city lot here, train tracks 1/2 mile away, nope. Not quiet. Not city noisy, but definitely not quiet :-)

3:21 pm

C's done -- they were easy

3:24 pm

3:27 pm

3:27 pm

3:27 pm

wow, that's a name you seldom hear anymore

3:28 pm

3:28 pm

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

lukewarm

3:30 pm

thansk rob

3:30 pm

I wondered what that "glow" was about you Flosey : )

3:30 pm

lol Molly - brain training

3:32 pm

pe6?

3:33 pm

need it, go to say Hi to someone and the name just won't come!!

3:33 pm

pe6, the stuf you use when making jam, jelly

3:33 pm

3:34 pm

**stuff

3:34 pm

got it tyvm

3:34 pm

yw cos

3:34 pm

I think it's great that they have programs like that Flosey

3:35 pm

it is Molly, very inexpensive, all done on computer

3:36 pm

Molly, do you watch Fringe? We love it. do you know if it's going to go for a 5th season?

3:36 pm

Yes Bich, I love Fringe. Don't know about Season 5 yet.

3:37 pm

just checked. fox hasnt announced yet for either fringe or alcatraz

3:37 pm

If it goes through Season 5, it will run on TV

3:37 pm

bbl, hubby just returning from trip up the mountain to collect firewood

3:37 pm

wait.. wait. ...

3:37 pm

windfalls

3:37 pm

molly!!! they renewed alcaztraz!

3:38 pm

fireworks

3:38 pm

I read that Fringe has filmed two different ends for Season 4, in case of cancellation.

3:39 pm

I'm not surprised Alcatraz was renewed.

3:39 pm

Glad they renewed Alcatraz, but I thin Fringe is the better show. Unfortunately, not too many people watch it.

3:40 pm

I am a big Lance Reddick fan; ever since The Wire

3:41 pm

yay cos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:41 pm

woot cos

3:46 pm

You really have to be on your game to follow Fringe. This week made me think a lot.

3:47 pm

Which is probably why people don't watch it. The general "want" is for mindless entertainment.

3:50 pm

Right Molly. I get confused too. Didn

3:51 pm

't bolivia have a baby last season. And wasn't Captain Broyles killed off on the other side?

3:52 pm

The change in the time line, due to Peter being eradicated by The Observers changed history. The baby died and Broyles was never killed. It's confusing.

3:53 pm

Must have missed that. And Bolivia is much nicer this season

3:54 pm

The baby story line was explained by the observer when Peter mind melded with him. I think that was two episodes ago.

3:55 pm

Where was I? Playing Babble too much

3:59 pm

The episode where Peter melds with the dying observer was pretty cool. It explains a lot about the observers, who they are and where they came from.

I have 111 words and 1111 points. I love little babble stat moments like this.

could someone give me a clue for either of the 7s, and spoil my row of 1s for me? ;)

nm, got the de7

4:16 pm

de7/40 = base 10

thanks, sue, saw it as soon as I opened Lickity for the letters.

4:17 pm

ah :-)

now I have 112 words and 1151 points. Bye, little row of 1s.

4:19 pm

oh well :-)

4:29 pm

hello from cold and rainy RI

4:33 pm

hello westford and mixi

4:33 pm

4:35 pm

oh yes, we do need the rain - have had our share lately

4:35 pm

this is normal for April..our beautiful warm weather was just a tease

4:35 pm

too wet to get into the garden but hubby has lots of seeds started inside

4:36 pm

the rain took us from red flag to orange flag for fire threat here.

4:36 pm

almost everywhere you look, in fact

4:36 pm

Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today

4:36 pm

4:39 pm

and it is now time for crossy,s quote of the day!!!

4:39 pm

don't have that

4:39 pm

One evening Mr. Rudolph Block, of New York, found himself seated at dinner alongside Mr. Percival Pollard, the distinguished critic. "Mr. Pollard," said he, "my book, _The Biography of a Dead Cow_, is published anonymously, but you can hardly be ignorant of its authorship. Yet in reviewing it you speak of it as the work of the Idiot of the Century. Do you think that fair criticism?" "I am very sorry, sir," replied the critic, amiably, "but it did not occur to me that you really might not wish the public to know who wrote it." -- Ambrose Bierce

4:39 pm

hi all,10 left and don't want to list. need help pls.

4:40 pm

nm will go to the list

4:40 pm

like that one crossy

4:40 pm

Ambrose Bierce wrote some excellent stories

4:43 pm

I can't access morewords and it's killing

4:44 pm

that stinks west. what word are you looking for. I can get morewords or I might have the word

4:44 pm

monkeys are tired

4:44 pm

finally got that last @#%^%*$# word for fireworks co5/12 (second one)

4:44 pm

to start with the ha 5/16 flosey mentioned

4:45 pm

monkeys still tired from yesterday.

4:45 pm

just looking for that now,

4:45 pm

just noticed there are 2 places it could come from

4:45 pm

That ha5/16 is the ha4 before it plus a consonant. Weird word

4:46 pm

add a consonant to the word before it

4:46 pm

odd word,new for me

4:46 pm

thanks molly

4:46 pm

congrats flosey

4:47 pm

thanks mixi

4:47 pm

yesterday's grid was brilliant..didn't finish but what a lot of fun

4:47 pm

Hello MollyL! How are you? I LOVE your ic 4/5. Where did you get it? Did you finish monster grid yesterday?

4:47 pm

Congratulations flosey on your fireworks! Good for U!

4:47 pm

Yay flosey !! that must have been some last word lol

4:47 pm

finished it west but wish I had noted the time I spent on it

4:47 pm

Hi Min. No, I don't get into the big grids. I made the ic4.

4:48 pm

ty Min

4:48 pm

Molly, are you printing up shirts with that icon?

4:48 pm

animal like a raccoon. doesn't need that many bad words. tee hee hee.

4:49 pm

I have the animal cute little thing

4:49 pm

No Flosey, I think Cross said something about making t-shirts.

4:49 pm

ah, thanks Mixi, will (try) to remember that

4:51 pm

two animals..one misspelled

4:52 pm

I'd wear it with pride, Molly

4:53 pm

and now, out to absorb some of this gorgeous sunshine

4:53 pm

bb at flip

4:53 pm

I was worried that was going to be our swan song..half expected Dr G to announce he was ending Babble

4:53 pm

Anyone can feel free to copy that image and do with it what they want. I don't know a thing about having t-shirts printed and I think it would be a huge task to take orders.

4:53 pm

oh my, whatever would we do

4:53 pm

Not to mention the "money exchange" issues that have happened here.

4:54 pm

hope we never have to find out

4:54 pm

West, you worry too much : )

4:54 pm

Goodbye flosey! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log.

4:54 pm

it's my form of entertainment

4:55 pm

enjoy that sunshine flosey ours is liquid today

4:56 pm

Hi uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome back to grid.

4:57 pm

hi min! I'm good, thanks.

4:57 pm

hi sue..how have they done so far?

4:57 pm

not bad although I am being somewhat generous, and it was a pretty straightforward test

4:58 pm

Dr. God did t-shirts?

4:58 pm

when are finals?

4:59 pm

before my time Molly

4:59 pm

second week of May, west

4:59 pm

ooh coming up fast

you must have mixed emotions sue

5:01 pm

I do - I wrote my last powerpoint last week!

5:01 pm

the point that separates dollars from cents bichon

5:01 pm

nm, but ty

5:01 pm

They were t-shirts with Babble written on them.They were pretty plain.They came in two colors.Blue and I do not remember the other color.Maybe it was purple

5:02 pm

The de7/40 word refers to the base 10 system bichon

5:02 pm

ty Min

5:02 pm

yw

5:03 pm

are you getting rained on too bichon

5:03 pm

Thanks for the t-shirt info Min. Good clue for the de7 West.

5:04 pm

I try molly

5:04 pm

going to fire up the stove and get cooking..see you all later

5:04 pm

Rainy and gloomy here. I'm not a big rain person, but we need it. The ground is very dry.

5:04 pm

bye, west!

5:05 pm

base 8 system is also there today.

5:06 pm

And it's a nice drink of water for Mother Earth, on Her Day.

5:09 pm

reading back molly,and you are quite correct.been thinking on it and the money transfer issues in the past and it is best if we create our own babble t-shirts.i have a screen shot of the 744 grid and if anyone would like it,just mail me and i will pass it along

5:12 pm

5:20 pm

I think that is for the best, Cross. All things considered. I believe Cafe Press will take an image and put it on a t-shirt. I don't know how their quality is though. Maybe we can share ideas on how people can create their own shirts. It will be fun to see them if it's done.

5:21 pm

when i get my shirt done,i will share prices etc and give you all a pic how it came out

5:21 pm

will be a bit of fun actually sharing our pics on your take on the shirt

5:22 pm

our*

5:22 pm

I think it will too.

5:27 pm

A's Activated! 5 left

5:29 pm

they do have transfer paper to print in your printer and iron onto a t-shirt, haven't used it but should work

5:29 pm

also fabric paints and crayons:)

5:30 pm

That is a good idea Yarn Lady. My printer isn't high quality enough to do that, but for those who have good printers, that would be an option. I'm sure if we brain storm we will come up with lots of good ideas.

5:31 pm

Go Min!

5:34 pm

I've used the fabric paints and they heat set easily with your iron---I only half finished yesterday but it was fun with so many words available

5:35 pm

I am not artistic, so a printed image would work better for me. But there are many clever people here, it will be interesting to see what folks come up with.

5:46 pm

amato

5:46 pm

oops. sorry

5:46 pm

Not even a word, a typo. Time for tea....

hi Pam! Molly and Yarn!

5:49 pm

hi red, pam and molly, down to 13, may ask for help soon.

6:00 pm

Red, you are not a slacker.

6:08 pm

any clues for the te? I have 5/14

6:09 pm

Ive got it but cxan think of a clue!! te + and anagram of a feline

6:10 pm

that should be CANT!!

6:11 pm

ty, got it

6:13 pm

Then add a consonant to that.

6:14 pm

did that, and just found the last one of those

6:23 pm

Anyone able to clue the single H word? thanku so much :)

6:23 pm

yesterday's grid was like shooting fish in a barrel - working for words is less fun!

6:58 pm

I felt like I had done about five grids worth of words, and still only got 2/3 through it ..

I loved yesterday's grid, other than it was huge.... it was fun to find a root word and then fly with it... beat it to death, until all possible variations were found !

Hi everyone... :-)

My monkeys were elu4/6ed by the grid yesterday. They would not have helped even if I offered them a gold me 5/12. When my monkeys saw yesterday's grid, they ha 4/6ed their butts right on out of here. They said, "We don't give a di 4/5 if we get treats, no help from us today! We ha 4/5 big grids!" I told them that they were la 4/5 for not taking on a challenge. My ma 4/5 is telling me it is ti 4/5 for his turn on the computer. I did not ed 4/5 my story so there might be some mistakes. I hope you have made no 4/4 of my clues. I am going to change my ic 4/5 for tomorrow. Then I am going to go watch the Nicole Kidman movie Dead Ca 4/6 for the rest of the ni 4/4.

Good Call there sue

My cat just walked on the remote and did something

9:31 pm

I just unwrapped my cat from some wrapping paper she was eating :-P

They love paper.

The cat pressed buttons and I have no idea what she did

9:32 pm

my cat gnaws on the remote if I let her get near it

OK the cat just taught me something new about these buttons

I had no idea we had subtitles on our tv

9:33 pm

smart cat - reads, does she?

Not sure but I do have photos of her watching tv

And we have woken up to the tv on so they are up to watching bad early morning tv

9:36 pm

I am right just poking at it

9:40 pm

as I alphabetize the ********* exams

I think teachers do not get enough credit

9:41 pm

or enough pay :-)

That is true. And it bothers the crap out of me that some parent's think that teachers should actully parent their snotlings

9:43 pm

fortunately at the university level I don't get too much of that!

Uni students can be just as feral as prepies

9:44 pm

indeed - I have one from last semester that is refusing to admit he cheated, and is being a total annoyance about it

Grrr

I had that happen when I was at tafe. (community college). someone tried to copy my work. didn't happen

9:46 pm

fortunately I am retiring so he is going to be someone else's problem :-)

9:47 pm

this was in a lab - he would sign in and then leave, come back and ask other students for their data

But that person needs to acknowledge not to be a dumb ass

It is better to admit your screw up and get a minor penalty than get expelled

9:48 pm

he failed the course and will have to take it again

9:48 pm

evening all

9:49 pm

hi, jes!

ANd probabbly get a better high paying job than anyone else (not that i am bitter or anything when the same thing happened to me)

Hi jess

9:49 pm

he wants to be a physics education major, and this was the first course in a 4-year program; I doubt he will make it through

Is P.E the same as physical education?

9:50 pm

no, he wants to teach physics in high school

Right.

9:51 pm

(but sometimes we do refer to physical education as PE - this is not that, though)

OK sorry I have this on tiny print and it is hard

9:52 pm
