ok, Clues now being fired an hour later

ty vm lickety!

ty spell

Oh ok. Was wondering if some would be needed.

Glad to see they're not... thank you.

Clues are up

12:38 am

can clues get unemployment?

12:38 am

Some are ALWAYS needed....

very helpful; ty lickety

You're waffling now, ru.

No, Erda... Lickety's list will be up in an hour.

Fired = Launched. Here in Sydney, our daylight savings kicked in over the weekend, so I had to adjust clues to be generated an hour later than usual (by clock time anyway)

I see Lickety. Thanks.

It's good of you to provide them.

Oh, they're up already... cool.

Your welcome, it doesn't take any time off me now - I have it automated, but it took much tweaking over a long period of time to get it this way ;-)

I bet. I don't even know how you'd write such a program... mystery to me.

12:42 am

we like it if you have to sweat a little lickety..lol

truly appreciate your effort and your "tweaking" :)

Yeah - I haven't worked out how to deal with the timezones around the world yet - It means I have to adjust it like 3 times a year ;-)

Ha. That sounds like work!

OR I could just run it later every day ;-)

12:43 am

There must be some way to automate it...no?

But I think people like to have it available at the flip

12:43 am

Hello all and many thanks lickety - would hardly ever finsih if it were not for your clues

Yeah... they might worry.

No problem. It looks like it didn't run over the weekend - Oh I know - My son hijacked my PC to play games all weekend!

LOL wondered if you were on vacation

12:45 am

Yes, no Lickety clues all weekend!

Well I was on vacation from my computer!

Oh? I didn't know or I would have done a list.

Ok, I gotta get back to work, ENjoy, looks like a nice smallish one

too funny

Damn. Well I'm sure someone did one.

I posted in profile

Of course.

12:46 am

hmm tried neatnik a few times

so did I ursh

12:48 am

and then proceeded to try it as a plural !!

as if that would work when the singular doesn't... I always type in a word it doesn't take at least 2 or 3 times, too... lol

12:54 am

finally found all the p's

wtg

odd sk 5/18 means to scurry or move rapidly... don't think I have ever seen that one before

fireworks

12:58 am

WTG DEE!!!!

1:10 am

1:19 am

Neil? open your gmail if you haven't already.

1:25 am

hello, hello, hello. (lots of echos). anyone here?

Oh ok Rose... kinda busy here but doing that now.

please could I have a clue for the 8s

1:27 am

back from snacking with the hubby

1:30 am

I only have the pa7/8, the one called fishy earlier - in law offices the top guys are pa8 (your cohort or mate or... running out of clues)

1:31 am

if you both own 50% of something, you are equal pa8

1:31 am

in8, latin plural for in7, inactivity, or the possible energy in a static object

1:32 am

ah, ty, g'rose, that's a swirly one

thank you, I had the pa7 didn't notice the plural

1:34 am

apris

1:35 am

not a word, rats...

1:35 am

isn't that after skiing? how is that spelled...

1:35 am

nope, rbud, not in the dictionary. should know, i tried it.

1:36 am

with an E, dear, with an E

1:36 am

aha! I thought I'd had it work in a grid before, ty

1:37 am

i'm sketchy on that subject, having never skied, lol

1:37 am

oops, nearly in the PB, rbud

1:38 am

i know, saw that, and took a quick look to check when I said sketchy, too, lol - lots of sk words i used recently here!

1:40 am

sk x 5 words, rbud, one with a double consonant on the end, sk5

1:40 am

ty, had 4, now 5

1:40 am

yay, rbud, you rock!!

1:43 am

S done, yay!

1:45 am

we may have a house to move to just got to wait until later n week to see if it is ours i hope it is

as when you goto anyone to rent and say i have 6 girls they say sorry can not help you

2:17 am

2:48 am

this isn't showing the time in the chog!

2:50 am

hey ruby, sweetie. all ok over there?

2:53 am

{{rose}}

2:53 am

{{ruby}} huge hugs, sweetheart

2:54 am

B's at the store, housekeeper is noisily vacuuming, plumber is coming to fix a nasty leak in the kitchen (!!!). I guess there's always something with houses

2:54 am

I can't see the whole chog; I have a choice between avatars, messages OR time

2:56 am

I think we need a few more t's!

2:58 am

oh, yuck, ruby. lol, you think? (about the t's) enjoy the grid, it's pretty friendly.

2:58 am

is there a way to make the chog narrower?

2:59 am

uh oh, I think somebody's back...

2:59 am

see you later, sweetie, and thanks for listening on the weekend

3:00 am

don't think so, ruby. wait a minute. if you grab the screen with your mouse, you should be able to move the screen to one side.and so decrease the width of the screen.

3:01 am

np's dear friend. that's what friends are for. n'est pas?

3:09 am

good morning babble friends

3:32 am

hi sprite, was gone for a bit - still here?

3:32 am

hi rbud, yes I am :)

3:35 am

aha! nbt at last

3:36 am

good job :)

3:37 am

70 words in, just now getting it, lol

3:37 am

lol same here, and I still don't have a single 8.

3:38 am

I have them both thanks to g'rose

3:39 am

good for you.

3:39 am

do you want some hints?

3:40 am

hmm... yes, a hint for the 8s would be great, actually! Thanks :)

3:41 am

they are both plurals - pa7 is based on a pa4 - if two of you own 50% each of a company you are equal pa7's (or pa8)

3:42 am

yay, thank you!

3:43 am

in8 - a body in motion tends to remain in motion......

3:43 am

thanks Dianne, and hi!

3:44 am

Hi sprite - how are you feeling?

3:45 am

better. On the mend and regaining some energy. I have promised myself a nice nap later today :) And you, Dianne? How are you?

3:46 am

All good here.

3:47 am

am glad

3:47 am

heehee, today I napped right through suppertime - the family was at a loss as to what to do with themselves for dinner, lol

3:48 am

lol! Good for you, rbud!

3:48 am

good for them to have to fend for themselves now and then

3:48 am

very true. They won't take you for granted that way

3:49 am

really didn't mean to, had an alarm set on my cell phone, but I slept right on through it! getting good at that.

3:49 am

sounds like you really needed the sleep

3:50 am

I submit for our babble dictionary: rapitate: make it go faster

3:50 am

guess I did. but here I am up late as a result. Oh well! :)

3:51 am

:)

3:51 am

good word, I like it!

3:51 am

Enable doesn't, silly enable

3:53 am

so uncooperative, that enable! :P

3:55 am

very! But always a handy thing to nag about.

4:02 am

and I feel like nagging. My son is having a total teenager tantrum phase. And the weather is suddenly COLD!

4:05 am

well, feel free to nag as much as you like, happy to listen. (((hugs)))

4:05 am

:D That was it, actually... nothing big, just frustrating. He is our oldest, so we are still learning how to handle it too.

4:06 am

never did learn how to handle ours, he's 21 and still a brat at times.

4:07 am

amazing. So that is... 5 more years! Arrrrghhhh. Ah well, we will survive. And I won't stop loving him.

4:09 am

it's that mom thing - no matter how trying they are, we still love them. I know how that is.

4:11 am

it is wonderful. I sometimes look at what happens and then at how I feel about him. Frustrated, angry, sad... but still loving him just as much.

4:16 am

hubby doesn't quite get it, he gets snarly and accuses me of siding with the boy against him, when what I really do is try not to take either side. it's hard. they've been at odds for years.

4:17 am

I think I should stop trying to explain to him why he must do his tasks, same as we all. I guess he knows very well and is just being a jerk.

4:19 am

oh, yes, that's a big one here, too. every time we need them to do something - like the same darn thing every week, lol! - it's a big hassle. no one wants to do the hard and icky stuff, it just has to be done. think I like dirty dishes? don't be silly! your turn!

4:20 am

right! Exactly that!

4:21 am

litterboxes, take out the trash - they'd let it pile up endlessly if not harped at to do it - hate to think what their houses will look like one day! :P

4:22 am

omg indeed. And the laundry. Keeping it in their room for weeks and then dumping the whole sh*tload in the bathroom at once. Demanding it back right away because 'they have nothing to wear'.

4:24 am

arrgh, yes! except our son tends to leave it all over the place, then has to have it in less than an hour for a band gig, and of course there's a hole that needs patched, lol

4:26 am

I need help. I have ta x 10, te x 2, th x 3, ti x 3, to x 1 and tr x 6. I am missing one 5 letter T word. Help, please.

4:26 am

right. And somehow everything that goes wrong for him is our fault. Last night he couldn't sleep because he was coughing, he said this morning. And I had not informed after his coughing, hence it was my fault he had not slept.

4:27 am

sorry Dianne, I haven't finished the Ts yet. Lickety is up though... maybe that could help?

4:28 am

Lickety says ti x 4

4:29 am

I submit titteen: a busty teenager

4:30 am

lol! the kind that chase our son after band gigs! ;p

4:30 am

exactly :D

4:30 am

I have one ti5 that is a giant and one ti5 that is a skin condition. Any idea what the other 5 could be?

4:30 am

already full in the blouse, but still empty between the ears

4:31 am

a chemical way to separate fluids?

4:33 am

buste + again prefix

4:33 am

yes! ty, didn't have that - the alt. British spelling

4:34 am

yes, that one. Sorry for the awkward clue

4:35 am

did you get it, Dianne?

4:35 am

no - today is my dense day :)

4:35 am

ti + most of a wood producer

4:36 am

hi BabbleRabble, glad to see you. How's today unfolding for you?

4:37 am

Got it - thought I typed that in earlier. Thanks for the help. That was my last word.

4:37 am

wtg Dianne!

4:38 am

Hello, sprite ... no acute distress

4:38 am

Any clues needed before I go?

4:38 am

am happy to hear that.

4:39 am

Congrats, Dianne

4:39 am

Thanks BR

4:39 am

not for me, I'm good. Happily plodding away at my last 3.

4:40 am

Finished some time ago ... not happy with these puny grids

4:40 am

no... they are over before you have really started

4:41 am

I agree BR. Although I hope tomorrow's isn't too big as I have to go to China in the afternoon.

4:41 am

wow... sounds good, Dianne!

4:42 am

fireworks.

4:42 am

good going sprite

4:43 am

O.K. see you tomorrow.

4:43 am

till tomorrow, Dianne, and if I don't see you before you leave: have a safe and relaxed journey.

4:45 am

must love and leave you... bye all, have a good day and/or a peaceful evening.

4:45 am

yay, sprite, congrats!

4:45 am

and farewell for now. :)

5:14 am

ahhhh, fw, and off I go. good luck to all! :)

5:33 am

good morning all - short one today

5:36 am

Hello, smores.

5:37 am

Happy Monday to you

5:37 am

ty ... you also

5:39 am

I finally broke down and went pro - missed the grid

5:41 am

Good morning BR and smores.

5:41 am

BR--have you received snow yet?

5:43 am

Hi Srabbler

5:44 am

Yay for going pro.

5:44 am

:)

5:45 am

still not a "pro" though :)

5:45 am

I went pro within a few hours of being here. Instant addiction.

5:45 am

Soon you will know all the silly Babblets.

5:46 am

"babblets" what you refer to as odd words?

5:46 am

Like to4/4.

5:47 am

A lot of 4-letter words that recur in grids: roti, rotl, hisn, naoi, inti, inia...

5:48 am

so it doesn't refer to the word being odd but the words frequency in the grid

5:49 am

I would say those words are odd.

5:49 am

My vocabulary has increased since playing Babble.

5:49 am

yes - they defiantely are

5:49 am

Where do you live?

5:49 am

yes - this is a great brain exercise

5:49 am

Indiana

5:50 am

and you?

5:50 am

I don't think we have any Babblers from Indiana. My father went to Purdue, and taught me to loathe Notre Dame.

5:50 am

I live in a rural area 35 miles outside of Buffalo.

5:50 am

:)

5:51 am

easy to forget there is so much rural in NY

5:52 am

There are lots of rural areas in NY state, and it is beautiful!

5:53 am

Hills, farms, forests....stunningly gorgeous now with leaves at peak colors.

5:53 am

yes, I have been through there, unfortunately didn't get to spend nearly enough time

5:55 am

It's just I think most people think of NY city and don't realize ( or remember, as I did) that it is so much more

5:55 am

NYC is "down there" on the map, and I dislike urban areas, even driving in Buffalo.

5:56 am

What are the benefits of loathing?

5:56 am

Just to give an opinion

5:56 am

? not sure BR

5:58 am

I am almost halfway and it has not been easy.

6:01 am

I've barely begun, seem to be doing everything except the grid

6:02 am

Good luck, smores ... have to leave before I get in trouble.

6:02 am

The smaller grids are the toughest--words must be teased out, and there are more odd words.

6:03 am

Br - get in trouble?

6:05 am

are you still here BR?

6:06 am

guess we lost him Scrabbler

6:07 am

We all need a break or have things to do or just get bored. I rarely finish a grid anymore. For my first year or so I compulsively finished each grid. Now I aim for halfway.

6:08 am

I know, I'm in and out a lot during the day

6:08 am

about to go now to get my daughter ready for school

6:09 am

And I must leave for work in 15 min so I must get ready. Bye, enjoy the day.

6:09 am

you too - have a Happy Monday :)

6:41 am

ditto to what Scrabs said. Hardly ever finish any more

6:41 am

¡¡¡sʞɹoʍǝɹıɟ

Hi Bich

wtg lawyer

6:44 am

ty

6:44 am

how did you get it upside down?

6:45 am

Held the keyboard over my head

6:45 am

little early on a Monday too - it took me a moment :)

6:46 am

teehee - oookkkk

6:46 am

but...it's a holiday

6:46 am

Columbus day or Thanksgiving

6:47 am

Chris' day

6:48 am

wasn't sure where you were, it's Thanksgiving in Canada

6:48 am

but, years ago, I lived in Canada, so we had Thanksgiving earlier

6:49 am

Actually, I celebrated Thanksgiving twice when I lived there

6:49 am

7:46 am

I guess it was Truman v. Dewey in that election

7:46 am

I said, Hooey on Dewey

7:46 am

this is a very tough grid for me! too many t's

7:47 am

I didnt vote then but I remember the upset

7:55 am

Egotist: A man who's always me-deep in conversation.

7:55 am

7:56 am

:) met many of those BR - legands in their own minds

7:57 am

I've forgotten the word for someone focused on his own navel.....ompalo????

7:57 am

omphalo?

7:58 am

Babble is a game of choice .... we decide how serious we will be about it

7:58 am

A Turkish salesman promoted an audience with an old-time sultan. "I don't recall your name," said the sultan pleasantly, "but your fez is familiar."

7:58 am

I like the first entry into the grid. After that, it's to see which friends are here

7:58 am

great one, BR!

7:59 am

lots of FR words in here

8:01 am

seems like a hard grid so far

8:02 am

hello hurshy; I've been picturing pre-Columbia art since yesterday

8:02 am

old images etched behind my eyes

8:02 am

you have? why?

8:02 am

wasn't it you who went to Dumbarton Oaks?

8:03 am

nope

8:03 am

aaah, brain is turning to mush

8:03 am

isn't brain pretty much mush in the first place?

8:04 am

unfortunately true

8:05 am

na6/33 is a nice word to have - the kind that's common, but doesn't often show up in a grid - may be my favorite sort

8:06 am

Omphaloskepsis is contemplation of one's navel as an aid to meditation.

8:06 am

ty, hurshy, I looked for it and found it

8:06 am

ah, well as long as there's a reason for it

8:06 am

I knew you'd find it BR. TY

8:07 am

Morning all!

8:07 am

8:08 am

{{sue}}

8:08 am

H*****on Ford played Indiana Jones

or omphalophilia, love of same!

8:09 am

ar 5/10

8:09 am

hi sue

8:09 am

I should have known that ar as I used to be in the glass biz

8:09 am

teehee - why are we talking about bellybuttons anyway :P

8:10 am

I think we talked the doctors into keeping Frank here until tomorrow so he can talk to the GI doc

8:10 am

BR mentioned egotism and I made the "leap"

8:10 am

good job, sue!

8:11 am

(Sorry, my life revolves around the hospital at the moment)

8:11 am

very good sue

8:11 am

en 6 --- deeply engrossed

8:12 am

I was so en6 that I danced all around it

8:12 am

8:12 am

Time for our morning walk around the corridors, bbs

8:12 am

and we are all interested and sympathetic, sue

8:12 am

I'll keep updates in my profile

8:13 am

navals have a mystical facet that intensifies meditation

8:13 am

thaniks, BR

8:13 am

I always thought it was the narrow focus that helped meditate

8:14 am

besides, the price of belly button lint has gone up two dollars a ton

8:15 am

66 pa**less words (with BR's help)

8:15 am

The lower left quadrant of this grid is not my friend

8:16 am

agreed sue - way too many "almost" words there

8:16 am

We really are going to take a walk, Frak

8:17 am

8:19 am

in 7 --- tendency of body in motion ... think

8:19 am

it must be very difficult to cook for him

8:20 am

I believe in7 is a tendency of a body at rest

8:21 am

in7 is what keeps me from getting anything done

8:21 am

the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.

8:22 am

can be both

8:23 am

last ta6?

8:23 am

8:26 am

pulling a peri is asking for a clue and then finding the word as soon as you ask

8:26 am

Hurshy, has your husband had his checkup?

8:26 am

didn't know that

8:27 am

well he had his scans and bloodwork done but they have made him wait a ridiculously long time to get the results. next friday is the current plan.

8:28 am

10:10 am

10:11 am

Happy Thanksgiving welki!!

10:11 am

If ever there was a mad genius, it's Mel Brooks.

10:11 am

10:12 am

Hard to believe that Mel is 86 years old.

10:12 am

10:19 am

Thanksgiving - much nicer than the pathetic holiday we have today

10:19 am

i can imagine, jmc :-)

10:20 am

My favorite Mel Brooks song is "High Anxiety". The microphone and microphone cord work is absurd.

10:20 am

Sir Peter Scott rescued the Nene when it was down to just a few birds left. if you go to Slimbridge in Gloucestershire here in the UK, you will see the result - hundreds of Nenes.

11:27 am

11:31 am

Yes,I always put it in my profile so people can refer to it on their own time. I will also post it in the chat log when I am done. Yesterday, I did not post in chat log, just in profile.

I think I will declare myself a Canadian for the day and give Thanks

12:00 pm

up here we also bear the same shame.was never ours.was first nation peoples,inuit,etc

12:00 pm

12:00 pm

12:00 pm

12:01 pm

12:07 pm

lol heinz 57

12:08 pm

just like my screen name - a wonderful mix ")

12:08 pm

I am trying not to scream at staff here at this clinic. Mother arrived 1.5 hrs late for 11 and 1130 appts for her kids, now the staff wants me to double-book and squeeze her kids into my afternoon schedule. Uh, don't get mad at me, who was irresponsible?

12:09 pm

i can trace our line right back to just before the year 1000,but there is not much glory in it since most of my ancestors are of a unsavory sort

12:09 pm

thats terrible scrabbler

12:09 pm

poor scwabby,reminds me of my last wait in the dr,s office where i cooled my heels for 2 hours past my appt time

12:09 pm

yes, we all have some of that crossy

12:15 pm

in 7 please?

12:16 pm

add 2 vowels to in5/10

12:16 pm

nm - found it

12:16 pm

teehee

12:16 pm

*!* ta da *!*

12:16 pm

wtg cyber

12:17 pm

ty smores - it was the other one that I needed

12:17 pm

oh yeah there are 2 of them - :)

12:18 pm

any clues wanted before I leave?

12:20 pm

guess not - bye everyone, hagd

12:25 pm

I am so mad--secretary is mad at me for not squeezing these kids in. What about being disappointed with mother--she wasted 1 hr of time this morning. That is 4 sick appts.

12:30 pm

I used to occasionally do reception for a local mental health clinic -really hard to get an appointment. One morning we had 9 appts and not one person turned up. It is so frustrating

12:33 pm

The mother is wrong. And if she is accommodated this time, she will surely be late next time too.

12:38 pm

Yes--and the secretary is making this my problem.

12:39 pm

as a mother who was sometimes late for dr appt (never an hour late) I can't beleive she woudl expect that

12:39 pm

so sorry scrabbler

12:40 pm

she should be upset with the mother not you

12:41 pm

There is no expectation of accountability for patients/parents--there should be consequences for poor decisions.

12:45 pm

as much as this frustrates you, Scrabbler, I will bet that more patients have been made to wait for hours after their appointments because the doctor is running late, so my suggestion is...........

12:47 pm

to have a big sign in the waiting room that says, "the doctor is not able to see you on time because (fill in the number) patients did not come on time and demanded to be seen when they arrived.

12:50 pm

scrab - check out FB before you head back to work

12:58 pm

I think it is simply a matter of telling a patient who is an hour late that the missed their time slot and can wait until everyone else has been seen, reschedule or see another doctor.

12:58 pm

*they missed

1:00 pm

agreed Molly

1:00 pm

Otherwise, everyone else ends up paying for one person's inconsiderate behavior.

1:01 pm

unless one of my kids was really ill, I would never have had the nerve still be seen that late

1:02 pm

I'm guessing if your kid was really ill, your first priority would be getting them to the doctor on time.

1:03 pm

very true :)

1:04 pm

off to help granddaughter try her bike for the firsdt time without training wheels - wish us luck

Hi Sue...removes thinking cap as it's utterly useless...
