tr7 is a table - don't get the rail clues at all
train tr7
I don't think we use that word that way here
over a river
or a canyon
perhaps your traintracks stay on solid ground
it is a table with two folding legs which aren't attached
we have rail bridges, not trestles
oops
lol
nice coffee in the PB

mind has to think sort of over the edge for some of these
yes, ty for that one - another i'd not have found
yw
last br4 had me going - didn;t think tht was a real word even though we use it all the time in winter LOL
never really thought there was a word woth no vowels
isn't there a Welsh word?
all welsh words have vowels LOL - it's just that w and y aren't considered vowels in english
I never would've got that br 4 without your comment Glantarell - ty for that!!!
can't think of it, it's been in the grid a few times
yw
maes is often in the grid - no idea what it's meaning is in english - it's welsh for place/field
I don't have a meaning for it - Mae is a girls name
there is another welsh word which i often see in the grid too, but i can't bring it to mind just now - it always makes me smile when i see it
something like wrth?
wrth means with/about
crwth?
thanks gort, that's the one I was trying to remember
crwth is an ancient string instrument, precursor to the lyre
also cwms
cheers flosey, any time you need to remember an obscure word with a w for a vowel, I'm yr gal
valleys
ty gort, I'll try to remember that
except its cwm in welsh and the p is cwmoedd
just got wr6/36 - never knew you could add that letter to wr5/18

morning :)
morning sarah
well done glan - have a good day
morning sarah - good luck, and bye all - happy babbling *poof*
sorry, the oc5 is the latin pl of a word to do with the eye
ok, thanks, I'll get it
flosey, oc + sounds like you + i **ke a lot
thanks rose, that did it
np's flosey, and hello, hun.
and hi to you, have you been getting your work hours shortened
still waiting, hun. see surgeon next tuesday. *shrug* i'm quite happy to sit ere and wait.
oh, you're off until he orders the shortened hours?
yes, flosey. i'm not going back until i get the shortened hours. he is standing firm on that.
glad to hear it rose,
it's not my surgeon who is holding up the works...it's the D.O.N. she keeps blabbering on about duty of care as this is supposed to be a non-work related injury.
I may have been told that, losing memory as I age
also do Lumosity program, it's good for memory and cognitive issues
unfortunately for her, my surgeon, who is the medical director, is in quite agreeance with how my fractured ankle, subsequent weight gain, and the accelerated degeneration of my knee are all tied together.
so if she doesn't agree to a graduated return to work program, she is going to cost the company mega bucks.
wow, are you anxious to get back? or is this a much appreciated relief
seems to be it would still be pretty uncombortable
nah, i can wait it out. it's been lovely being at home with himself.
let's try "uncomfortable" here
getting very tired
yes, flosey, it can be. i tried hydro last monday with no oxycodone on board. it was a bad decision.
better give up for tonight, goodnight rose
I'm always up early, so will finish while waiting for hubby
night, flosey. sleep well, dear friend

Hi am I showing in chat?
Hi am I showing in chat?
Yes
thank you
Hi all
hi dianne
Hello, Diane
Hi how do I tell if I am doing good or not on a puzzle?
Well if you find 140 words you are doing great.
ok thanks I think I understand it
And after 20 hours a new puzzle goes up?
Yes.
so there's a new puzzle every 24hours?
ok thank you
i just found this site tonight
In this one there at 3 nine letter words, 2 eight letter words and 16 seven letter words to find.
Ah yes I see that under Word Stats area thank you
wise
error wrong typing spot sorry
That's o.k. We all do it.
Take a look at "Help" above
How was the trip to China, Dianne?
It was o.k. I was just there for about 3 1/2 hours.
Today I was at the American Consulate to renew my passport. They use to be able to do it here for you but now they have to send it to the states to be done so it takes a couple of weeks to get it.
More bureaucratic nonsense.
You also use to be able to keep your old passport but now you must surrender your old one to get the new one.
I have understood Hong Kong to be one city. The article I read mentioned cities in Hong Kong .... with the dense population .... are there signs telling travelers of the boundaries? .... when you leave one city for another?
good morning, Babble friends
Hello, sprite
hello BabbleRabble, am happy to see you. Today here is windy but with lots of sun. Sending some rays your way.
Rather innocuous grid again.
hi sprite
hm... ok... sounds innocent enough... but then again, who needs innocent at our age...
It's one city made up of different districts. There are many heavily populated districts, MongKok being the most populated.
Babble you must be a genius then. :)
I have only found 89 so far
hello Amiamirande! Not sure we met before... if not: welcome to the madness!
89 is pretty good, actually.
Thanks I just got here tonight
And yes, BabbleRabble is scarily smart.
Googling Boggle/ramble scramble type games
Not so
Amiamirande, take a look at Lickety's Babble Clues below
then you came to the right place. Unless you want to have heavy competition and fast gaming. But if you are a word nut, or word nerd, you will find many of your ilk here.
I like Match Boggle and Boggle Bash on Pogo but tire of the ads. I like this site.
Diane, since Hong Kong has a lot of self-governance ... do you need your passport to go from Hong Kong to the mainland?
so do I :D
HongKong must be so incredibly huge.
ello sprite and BR, and welcome amia
locals don't need a passport. Americans need a passport and a China visa (which is expensive) to go to the mainland.
*hello* and g'day dianne
hi Rose thank you
ok... you know you are having a dense day when you try the word for making bird sounds with your mouth several times before realising it starts wH...
rose! *hugs* How are you today? And how is the battle with the Wicked Witch progressing?
lol, sprite....poor girl. going ok, thanx. still waiting to hear from her.
So now you cannot get to the mainland until your passport is renewed in the US and returned?
Hello, Rose
good. She is probably thinking how to phrase things so she won't appear defeated.
They let me keep my current passport until the new
Lickety's clue site just helped me get 2 more words thanks for the suggestion.
how come we can be a polyglot but not a glot?
yup, so right, sprite. i would so like to be a fly on the wall....ah, well. if she wants to pay me to sit on my butt, so be it.
wtg Amia!
let's try again - until the new one arrives. But you are right in a sense because I would not spent the money for a single journey visa. I'll wait for the new passport and get a year long visa.
now amia, you need to find enable dictionary, down load it, and you're on your way. mind you, if BR is here, who needs enable? LOL
Amia, Babble will probably have some words you never heard of, because it uses a rather old version of the Enable dictionary. Quite interesting, grin.
:)
true, rose! Nobody clues like BabbleRabble. Well, maybe Haz.
There are many good cluers
91 so far
is using the clue site um...cheating?
lol
true, BabbleRabble, but some are better than others :)
Amia, I will tell you what Atalanta told me when I started: Looking up the actual words with a solver is cheating. All the rest is research.
it has a lot of scottish words, so if you ave read sir walter scott's rob roy, you will probably know half the enable words.
h
I have not read it.
happy h to you too, PMS ;)
Depends on your perspective, Amiamirande. No one forces you to use Lickety
But thanks for the heads up on scottish words.
and if Lickety would force you to use Lickety, would that be rape?
despotism
i usually wait until i have been through the grid at least once, amia, before i use the list. and i have enable shortcut on my desk top. sad isn't it?
scots words, all kinds of obscure animals (today the hairy-nosed dolphin), scrubs and trees, and wonderful obsolete words like ywis.
nah whatever floats your boat I say :)
life is short
I can live with despotism. As long as it is not rape. What... what did I say?? No way I can live with despotism!
Coercion is a better word
people have developed all kind of personal rules, Amia. Some don't use clues, others try to get a word for every tile and/or for every word length in as few as possible words, some play till halfway or 3/4 before using clues. I always think that as long as your fun does not ruin that of others, everything that makes it fun for you is cool.
Coercion. Ok. I am certainly guilty of that, so I can live with that ;)
Hi all. As a 6 week newcomer, I really like what you wrote sprite. What does the hairy nosed dolphin begin with pls?
lol, what sprite says is so true, amia. what you will find here, is that we are all one big family. sometimes we disagree, most times we joke and help each other along.
aye I just found the word "arris" using the clues....never would have guessed that on my own
Must. Look. Up. Definition.
Amiamirande, the owner of the site, Dr_God, has not published terms of use or a code of conduct ... he believes people can work out their differences .... of course there a differences of opinion ... and factions ...
hi Lizlin! the dolphin is in4
hey liz, how has your day been?
Ty - will look for it now
oh, Amia... we try never to post words from the grid in the chat, so that other people can find them on their own if they want :)
Wet granny rose. Not GC weather!
um, amia, we try to not mention words in the grid in the chog.
Please do not put words in the chat .... that is one rule almost all agree on ..... even though it happens inadvertently quite frequently
Hi Lizlin
Nice to meet you
Fine really - cooking then gym
Oh I'm sorry. I won't do that again.
No need to be concerned, Amiamirande. Just a heads up
no problem, Amia! It happens, even to hardcore Babblers.
it mostly happens when we have been chatting, then forgot to switch to the grid before entering a word.
Hi amiamirande - this is a great site. Lovely people here but I won't let them hear me say that!
hah... lovely no less! *looks mean*
too late, liz....i heard you....i'm gonna te-ll on you.
My hubby's ex wife introduced me to the grid - no regrets. No I really do like the people I've met :)
Babble is a good community. Not perfect, but definitely very good.
Time for dinner, so have a good day or evening, wherever you are. Back tomorrow.
jeez BabbleRabble... your innocuous grid kind of makes me feel dumb. Not even halfway and already having to work for words.
bye Liz take care
enjoy dinner, Lizlin!
Ty bye all
Phantom: Apophasis (Late Latin, from Greek ἀπόφασις from ἀποφάναι—apophanai, "to say no"[1]) refers, in general, to "mention by not mentioning".
:D Love it. According to my love, I am quite good at that.
Like I have said several times, I like to find the words I cannot find first so I do not have to bother with them later
and then you still tell me you are not scarily smart!
My intentions do not always work
Well may I ask how sad you are BabbleRabble? Most extremely smart people I meet are sad.
something about the road to hell, isn't there, with intentions?
Sad as in melancholy/depressed/mood...
this grid is seriously riddled with phantoms
I have my moments, Amiamirande. I do have a chronic illness .... but do not think of myself as sad .... shame encompasses much of my medical malidies
I am sorry to hear it.
Have to do what I can and never quit
*grabs another bunch of rays of sun and sends them of to BabbleRabble*
Amen
I so wish shame wouldn't be part of it :(
BR, there is no shame attached to you or your condition. you are an exceptionally gifted man. and i am proud to say you are my friend.
We have our heat on actually.
Thanks, sprite
I second rose wholeheartedly
I don't know your condition but feeling shame never feels good.
it is cold here atm, Amia, but sunny. I always do better on sunny days.
I am a night owl lately so its after 5 in the morning for me. But still dark out
which country are you from, Amia?
USa
5 am? Lol, that is not covered by 'night owl'. That sounds like night shifts and/or insomnia!
I prize this Ted talk by Brene Brown very much: http://tinyurl.com/2besfwh
Oh its a long sad story.
Thanks, Rose, for the kind words
np's BR. they come from the heart.
How is Tim doing, sprite
Wow what a great site. Thanks for the url BabbleRabble. Never seen this site. Interesting videos.
oh, you shared that link before! A wonderful talk. That lady rocks.
Yes I agree. Being able to connect is what we are here for.
BabbleRabble: Tim is doing ok. He is going through a tough part of adolescence, which means we do too... but the foundation is good. He tr5. And so do we. Big mouths and bad attitude moderated by love and humour ;)
Amia: if you ever feel like sharing your story, please do, I'd be honoured to hear. But if you don't, please know that even though you can share here, you never need to :)
Never considered that shame is fear of disconnection. I like this site
I so need this right now in my life thanks again
This is a Brit site akin to TED: http://www.thersa.org/
Good to hear, sprite
insightful, isn't she! I like her. She knows how to tell it too.
Thanks Sprite. My story is not really long and not really sad I just make it that way I guess.
thanks for caring, BabbleRabble.
I am pessimistic and its a hard habit to break for me.
Yes thank you for the links. Its just what I needed tonight.
not easy to handle, I think, Amia :(
For example: I have been up all night and will sleep all day today because my ex-fiance is asleep in the only bed right now and he will be up all day so then I will sleep.
Not really sad just kind of pathetic. We are together due to finances but not together at all really.
Staying on is making it harder for me.
hmmmm.... another story in there, isn't there
amia, whether you believe in it or not. by whatever name you want to call, you were sent to us for a reason. and you have now found out why. :)
Thanks rose and sprite and babblerabble
if you cannot make a clean break, things are always tougher. Well, at least we can offer some distraction :)
:)
lol, sprite, that's one word...distraction....hmmmm
I never thought I'd be so emotional over a break-up. So many people split after much longer than my measly 8 years. I feel like someone has died though. Random crying bouts. Maybe I am just rolling in pity.
perhaps, these links will be of interest to you, Amiamirande: http://tinyurl.com/yglkht\nr http://tinyurl.com/4uvnmx6
Thanks Babble
The first link doesn't work
But the cognitive distortion link looks good, thanks
You are grieving, Amiamirande http://tinyurl.com/p7d68
That article is just for me I think. Thanks so much.
oh my... that puts my about right on my crate, lol. 3 things I'd like to say to that, Amia... 1. 8 years is not measly at all, it is at least 10% of our lives. You must have invested a lot. 2. You are emotional because you are grieving. Don't beat yourself up about it, be nice to yourself! and 3. I am sorry you have to go through this. Strength and peace and light on your way.
try this one: http://tinyurl.com/yglkhtr
Thank you so much to all of you.
hello
hi rubyfoo :)
hi ruby nice to meet you
8 years are not to be sneezed at, amia. a lot has been shared by you both. i'm so sorry you have to go through this. grief is exactly what you are going through, my dear. cry as much as you want. it is not just your relationship which is gone, but the future you had envisaged sharing together has also gone.
Hello, Ruby
{{{ruby}}}, sweetheart. did you get my last email?
I'M NOT SURE {{ROSE}}. tHINGS ARE PRETTY AWFUL AROUND HERE. tODAY bURT SAID THAT HE IS SORRY HE MARRIED ME....HARD TO PUT THAT GENIE BACK IN THE BOTTLE
That is how I feel Rose, good way of putting it. And I do feel the dreams are gone, mainly the dream of children too because our ages were so...important, for lack of a better word. I just don't want to wallow in self-pity and be such a pathetic crier. This has been going on for me now for 2 weeks. I can't sleep in the same bed because I unconsciously snuggle in my sleep. I still call him Sweetie totally unconsciously. In 8 years I practically never said his name. He seems to be doing so much better than me with this.
aw ruby :(
whoops didn't mean to shout,
Oh ruby. Sounds similar to my problems. Sorry to hear it.
Sorry, Ruby.
meanwhile, I am still slogging through paperwork and Ruby has the squits, so I've been cleaning up dog poop since 7AM!
oh, ruby, sweetie, i am so sorry burt is being such a pain.
and last night I developed a new allergy , peanuts (very common, I guess, but at my age???) and that made things much worse
letting your grief out is not wallowing in self-pity, Amia. Two weeks is nothing. If you can grief now, and allow yourself to feel what you feel, it will really help pyou later on.
wow :(
B is useless in an emergency, but I called emergency and they walked me through it
aagghh, ruby, will it never end??
that is 3 new allegries in the past 10 years, how weird is that?
strange
that is nasty, ruby. How are you now?
can stress cause allegries?
once it's over, it's over, and I got a new shot of adrenalin to keep in the fridge
stress can cause itchy hives and sweating
not sure about the rest
not directly, but indirectly it can. If you have dormant allergies, or preconditions, stress can bring them out in the open.
amia, i have been there....in your place, i mean. and that was after 17 years of marriage and 3 sons. so i know exactly what you are going through.
hives EVERWHERE, but when I started to wheeze and couldn't catch my breath, I git scoared
got* scared*
thanks rose...i am just so regretful I never had children
yes, ruby, stress can trigger a lot of allergies. just take your antihistamine and hydrocortisone(prednisolone) if you have any.
that sounds scary indeed. Better keep that sh* of adrenaline handy.
shot
lol
Ruby: allergies and stress: http://tinyurl.com/96xlryl
he was so nasty, that I sent him off to lunch alone
amia, don't be regretful. it was no fun trying to bring up 3 children with no support/help from their father.
i regret wasting my time with this sterile man now and I'm 41 and my fertility is gone....and I'm being dumped.
very good, ruby. Keep your self-worth even when he is being nasty. I wi4 he kept his :(
ah, no way, amia. your life is now just beginning. you are a very precious person, lift your chin, sweetie. you are going to get through this.
I can understand your regret about children a bit, Amia. It must be tough to know the choice has been taken from you. As for the regret for wasting your time... I think time is never wasted. You learned a lot. But right now it must feel like a waste indeed.
I do have a bright side: next month I'm going to another state to help with my great nephew and he is 3 weeks old :) I will love that.
you will love it and cry your heart out, I bet. *hug*
okay my last post disappeared into cyberspace. amia, from personal experience, i know you will receive love and support from this community
thank you...my last post vanished too
i'm so glad i found this site tonight
there is no such thing as coincidence :)
Ruby left.
:) Two hours spent talking with people I've never met and I feel so much better.
perhaps her husband came home, BabbleRabble.
I worry about her.
glad to hear it, Amia :) Babble is usually a good place for that.
same here, BabbleRabble. I worry about them both.
BR, i am talking with her via email. i worry for her too. and yes, she has logged off. i do hope all is ok.
I hope I see you all again tonight. Thanks so much for all the kind words and listening. I'm giving in at 93 words for now :)
So nice to meet you all, take care.
good job, Amia! I hope you sleep well. See you soon.
thanks I hope to come back tonight. byebye for now
sleep well, amia. rest easy knowing we will be here for you tomorrow.
got the red squares of death and lost my connection. Too much whining, I guess
hi ruby! We worried about you. BabbleRabble and rose and me.
I just sent you an e-mail, sprite
oh, good, glad all is ok now, with babble i mean.
checking
and sent husband off to eat lucnch alone. I don't see why I have to go with someone who says he doesn't even like me any more
so true, ruby. it's so hard to stand apart from what is happening, i'm sure. burt is not the man you married, ruby.
I know I'm different, too, but you can't say stuff like that
Sure he can, Ruby .... there are no consequences for his behavior
no, ruby, you can't. not without facing the consequences. that is, if you are in your right mind. ruby, burt isn't in his right mind.
I shall pray, Ruby
ty, BR, I am touched
Burt doesn't see any consequences, says ist's all because I am nasty
I think you are doing the right thing by sending him off alone when he is treating you badly, ruby. Don't let him walk all over you, because that will make it worse.
I just heard doors slamming, so he's back (already) from lunch. I'll bet he was embarrassed in the resto where we always for on Thurs
go for lunch (weird shorthand?)
probably. So there is a consequence.
all I can say is, thank God there is a place like this to come to, with caring friends!
always. Email back at ye.
good morning all
gm smores
hiya smores
hey smores
just read through chat... {hugs} ruby
did you see my post re flicker last night, smores?
ty smores
no rose I missed it
ruby, have you ever recorded his behavior?
there'd be no point
his MD doesn't speak English and we are not part of the health system here
I'm sure everybody thinks he's a nice guy with a bi***y wife!
I think they all know things are a little more complicated than that, ruby
smores, if you go into your account, down the bottom is a link to flicker. all you have to do is enter your user name for flicker, and babble and flicker are linked.
he can be quite charming, just ask Sp[rite!
sorry, got the red squares
I had them a little while ago, smores, very odd
yes, seems ok now
just read back through, even if others doesn't speak english, record it anyway
It may help for him to see his own behaviour
Ruby, you are a good person. Every now and then, look in the mirror and remind yourself.
I know, BR, he hasn't hurt my self-esteem, just makes me feel sad for both of us
it is really sad.
I think our getting married and moving here was a great idea, even if he now says he regrets it. I don't think he really does. He certainly wasn't happy in any of his past marriages (3!!!!)
<-- married to Bluebeard, lol
I do know someone that this helped - sometimes people don't realize how bad they are until hearing it
oh, you mean play it back to him.....
It is very obvious you love Burt a lot .. I fear his behavior will only get worse.
I'm not so sure any more, BR, there are just so many things that can be said before Humpty Dumpty is in too many pieces
<------getting scissors and razor for ruby :)
?? smores
for the bluebeard thing
aaah, missed that. slightly obtuse today
sick Ruby is lying here next to me, doesn't realize she smells like poop! Gotta live dogs
Which, at the risk of being offensive, is why I have been urging you to prepare for the worst. He does the shopping. What if he gets to the point he not share the food? Who controls the money?
love*
the money is joint, so that's not a worry. But he is incapable of cooking for himself or even for the dogs, for that matter
have to get my duaghter up and going - brb
bye smores
but a joint account is a problem ... he can empty it
so far, there is no issue about money
I have enough in my name plus the house is totally mine; he can't touch it
I will shush
Can I, very very carefully, say that this is about a relationship between two people? There is a lot more to it than Burt being a very difficult man, which he is. But it is more complicated than that.
<-- loves BR!!!!! don't shush
yeah, I think you offer very valuable and practical advice, BabbleRabble. Don't shush.
sprite, I know that this is partly my fault, but he certainly makes it much harder and there is no possibility of talking
am not talking about fault, hun! Definitely not. And yes, he is not easy to talk with and he can be very unkind and unreasonable.
but things have grown this way between the two of you and that is a complicated matter. Just blaming Burt isn't doing either of you justice. Please forgive me for saying so.
I know that, but it's gotten beyound the point of healing, especially since he won't talk about whatever are the core issues
all I can say, dear Ruby, is to stand up for yourself. Remember he is dependent on you and the damage he has suffered in life makes him into someone who hates to be dependent, who fears it even... he is being nasty to you because of it, and he does not have that right. Letting him get away with it won't do any good... you know it is so. *hug*
I have fireflies. Time for me to attend to the laundry and Terra. Loved the grid, and found the chat very valuable today. Thanks, BabbleRabble, for giving so much of yourself. *hugs* for you, Ruby, take care and keep in touch. Bye all!
{{sprite}}
be well, sprite
half, yay
this is a lot like group therapy!
or AA
Good morning Babblers :)
hello hello no no
(((Ruby))) just read back thru the chog. So very sorry for your troubles
{{no no}}
Hello, Nono
this has been helpful for me, though, I take advantage of these friends, but they offer very good advice
hi BR!
You have any snow there, Nono?
yes their advice has been excellent. and talking about things always helps even if it doesn't seem to at the time
no not yet BR but there was flurries reported near by yesterday
I can't wait for the puppy to see snow for the first time; as it is, he tries to bite the rain
lol at the puppy
he was born in Italy in Dec and I'm sure has never seen it
and now I'll test the "upstairs waters"
thank you all!!!!!
take care Ruby
ok, my daughter is up and getting ready - got about 30min b4 taking her to school

Hello! I am really here now!
as opposed to being unreally here ... takes talent
I am just THAT good!
Yea for you!
car is back!:)
And there's gonna be trouble...♪ ♫
ok,will roll out a new tidbit of the day now;)
Though it's not as well-known as the Grand Canyon, Hell's Canyon is the deepest gorge in the U.S. at nearly 8,000 feet.
Is that the on on Kaui?
have no idea..you will have to google it lol
Nope..Oregon!
Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think them cats are crazy
Hells Canyon is a 10-mile (16 km) wide canyon located along the border of eastern Oregon, eastern Washington and western Idaho in the United States. It is North America's deepest river gorge[3] at 7,993 feet (2,436 m)[4] and part of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area.
The one in Hawaii is Waimea Canyon..of course!
♫ ♪ The boys are back in town, the boys are back..the boys are back...♪ ♫
sing it car! get up there and shake it!
Stand back....WHEEEEEE!
Take it BR!.....
I cannot fathom 5 words from that upper A...I only have the socks.
What is the world’s longest canyon? If you are about to say ‘Grand Canyon‘ then you are correct…kinda. You have the right name…almost, but more than likely, the wrong country. What is the world’s deepest canyon? You might think it is Peru’s Colca Canyon. Em, that answer is correct before 1994, but now? At first, I am intending to make a post about the canyons around the world. However after my research, I decided to talk about only one canyon instead, which is claimed as the longest as well as the deepest canyon in the world (So I just called it the largest canyon in the world). It is “The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon†from China. It is 496.3 kilometers long, 56.3 kilometers longer than the Colorado Grand Canyon, previously considered the world’s longest. And it is 5,382 meters deep, much deeper than the 3,200 meters of Peru’s Colca Canyon, previously known as the world’s deepest canyon. The canyon is in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and around the highest peak of east Himalayas-Namjiagbarwa peak (7,787 meters above sea level), forming a huge horseshoe-shaped turn.
cool!
interesting.thats babble,a font of knowledge
which world. if you are talking wold's than its Valles Marineris on Mars
if you are talking Earth than you are right BR!
Nice point Steve!!! Good morning!
morning car
mine was the deepest in the states,now we have the worlds deepest..;) now we are covered
But think of what is still out in the universe that we have no idea about yet!!! So coooooool!
if you do not mind getting wet,i guess the mariana trench has to be in there as well
<splash>
phantom: barrister
did not robert ballard just make a dive on it?
yep and almost never made it back to the surface
Ooooh! Just found br 9 all by myself!
nat geo covered it i am guessing?
will have to look for it
Valles Marineris (Latin for Mariner Valleys, named after the Mariner 9 Mars orbiter of 1971–72 which discovered it) is a system of canyons that runs along the Martian surface east of the Tharsis region. At more than 4,000 km long, 200 km wide and up to 7 km deep,[1][2] the Valles Marineris rift system is one of the larger canyons of the Solar System, surpassed only by the rift valleys of Earth and (in length only) by Baltis Vallis on Venus.
now we are covered for the solar system:)
Wait...so we have bigger canyons on Earth then? Wow. I did not realize that. I am so lousy with measurements.
Valles is a system of canyons ... implying more than one
OK...must run off again. I wish you all a wonderful day! {{canyon-sized hugs}}
Be well, car
You too BR!
never well but capable of faking it
hello all
that would be james cameron,not ballard.my bad
howdy hurshy
sigh
let me see, yesterday was a food day so today a rough day, is that right cross?
indeed hurshy.today is 500 calorie day
*waves to the masses* Hiya, Babblers!
howdy judi
hello everyone :)
500 calories per meal or for the whole day?
500 cals for the day, i beleive
*believe
so brekkies is a bowl of special k and lunch is a turkey sammich on whole wheat with lettuce,tomato and a tbs of mayo
500 for the day
no dinner, crossy?
nope
Wow. That's less than most supermodels eat per day.
but tom orrow is wide open again.that is the beauty of it.you are cutting your monthly food intake in half,but are not sufferin day after day
for the first month(sept) i showed an actual loss of 12 pounds
this will slow as time goes on
excellent, crossy
I haven't been here in so long! And look at all these same loyal babblers :) Good to be back.
Welcome back, Sean
Hi everyone!
wb sean
i see sean,that we joined babble within a month of each other
I finally caved and got a smart phone, and I actually came back here to see if babble had created an app. Anyone know?
i run it on my tablet no problem,but have no idea about running it on a smart phone
I'd probably just have to use the web browser and see if it works.
my tablet is an asus transformer tab with 10 inch screen and using an android os
no app
Yes, it's been like 2 years since I've logged in. I get my word game fix with Scramble and Words with Friends...
Hey all, my day to sleep in and I woke up an hour early...
well,welcome back to the madness;)
Hi kje! Long time!
howdy stidmama
Hey sean, no more babble development is planned, apparently.
helo
hi kje and stid
indeed was told by drgod that babble is basically legacy software now
Good morning kje, foggy and gloomy here, getting toward our normal damp and cold (finally)
ch7?
brinkly
Good morning and thanks br
kje: Governor of New Jersey.
brinkley
ty
thanks stidmama, I figured it was a long shot, but the best app I had was Scramble (basically boggle) and Apple bought the rights too it, so now I can't play it on my android anymore.
Sounds about right Cross
andriod rules!
lol
boggle boggle boggle
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not :)
FW!
YAY, kje!!!!
congrats, kje!!
Yay kje!
sarcastic? i love android.everything is so easy and intuitive compared to wondows os
Help for the lone cin the right handcorner?
hi
divan
if they ever get a good driod desktop os replacement going,gates and company will be in for it
i am sad that the ght is in the wrong order
Thanks again br, and hellomhurshy
Glad to hear you say that. Android really is better. I mean, Apple makes solid products, but they just refuse to make their products compatible with anything that isn't also Apple.
hi stid, nice rainbow
BR - you're on the wrong planet this a.m.
Plus, what's up with a phone, mp3 player or tablet that doesn't have expandable memory?
indeed sean.apple is too proprietary
my transformer tab has expandable memory hehe
I must of planet wrong ... lack of detail
As any of these devices should
indeed
brabble i do hope you know that the teasing the other day was affectionate and not mean-spirited
Thanks hurshy, I like the slim 'waist' appearance. Not intentional, but cool illusion
one of the main reasons i bought it..along with its ability for flash,usb,poerts,micro sd ports and a 16 hour batt life
and it's half the price too! ha!
yup
the new transformer even has a quad chip
name that proper noun! jane's beau in pride & prejudice!
hi again all!
can't remember my beau. dang.
Never read it.
wb suze!
bingley
great book
I like windows/dos better than apple os for mucking about, but love the stability of apple. Android has potential, but within 6 months of my G1 being on the market android was no longer developing for it, and within a year they were not really supporting it. I won't get another android device until they commit to better long-term support. If I had my druthers I would use linux, but so many of the applications used in schools require either windows or mac.
ding ding ding!
Ah, I missed the trivia from hurshy. So glad I had early morning insomnia!
quad in a tablet already? technology moves so fast.
andriod 5.0 is set to ship stidmama
lol it took I.E 7 trys to get a browser that works,so i am will to give android at least that
<--- loves her android phone
Yeah well, microsoft has their own issues.
yup
Chrome user
thats why i use chrome as my os
I have an I-phone 4 and admit to Android envy.
firefox before that
I don't care cross... They don't yet have a track record for supporting previous versions of hardware/os. I loved my droid, but a year after I got it, all the apps had moved on and I couldn't upgrade.
stats for the lone t? please?
me too! :)
it is funny judi.things are so easy on android,that as a long time windows user you have to retrain yourself in that you no longer have to do all those steps to do what you want to do
me three! (if we are talking about the lone t)
i am sorry you had a bad experience stidmama
Raises hand for T...
Needers of Threes Come Out of the Woodwork
I meant Needers of Tees
i was responding to cross, sorry :(
ah well, I use chrome as my browser too :-)
but each to their own
haha
indeed cross. some people just make bad decisions, lol
I dn't really care for the iphone either, tom got me one to replace the android, and while I can see the screen better with my failing eyes, it is not my cup of tea. I am going to revert to a phone-only setup with big, actual buttons my figners can find and push.
thats the great thing about computers,there is something for all
there are several of those out now for you stidmama
Meantime, i do love the ipad a lot more than I like the macbook.
(Waiting for t clue)
I have an ipad now too, for work, and it is ok. I like the keyboard on my phone better, though
jitterbug is one that is being advertized a lot of late
i agree sue
Yes, Stid. One of the things that cheeses me off about the I-phone is, you can enlarge the touch screen while browsing, but you can't enlarge the qwerty keyboard. My big stubby fingers need bigger letters. And curse auto-correct while we're at it.
CLUE THE T OR THE PUPPY GETS IT!
Ty5.
here ya go stidmama..all the info... http://www.greatcall.com/
thing trains go over
morning everyone
tr7/28
Judi, there are lots of android phones with slide out keyboards, and some of them have pretty big buttons.
we saved the puppy!!
not yet.....
Hence my envy, Sean.
but you redirected me....
Sorry... :)
That looks good, cross, will see if I cN find one in a store to try. I also like one of the samsung smartphones, that has buttons, but since I am not in school anymore I really do not need constant connectivity. And could save that extra hundredor so a month from data
Morning hoot and thanks
yw
ah, THAT thing the trains go over! Thanks!
extra hundred!
(we have lots of trains but it is very flat here so I was thinking of tracks)
oh
yw
our only train track washed out a few years back and nobody wants to fix it
indeed stidmama,i do not need a smart phone myself,just a good cell with some good features.if i want a computer on the go,i bring my tablet as i do not need a 100 dollar a month smart phone plan with heavily capped data
Ooh, that puts me at exactly halfway! I think I will go ahead and get up since I am clearly awake, and make a dent in the pile of carp on my workbench before I go volunteer in a friend's class. And have lunch with a kid. And hang out with Mother. And run errands... My at-home days get so busy! LOL
unlike the states,they have us cunucks by the cojones when it comes to data plans
And I went the other way. I figured I didn't need a tablet since I already had the android phone and an amazing laptop
lol sean
stid has fish on her workbench? *wink*
Works for me :)
i do not have a laptop sice i can do 99% of what i need on the tablet hehe
since the transforme has a keyboard docking station with it
Did that on purpose, and I actually do have some fishy items, (fishhooks with loops for putting eggs), but mostly it is teaching stuff needing a home.
ah. cute, stid :-)
OH! I forgot to ask about Frank... (Bad friend look)
yes suze,how is frank doing of late?
he is feeling better, stid, still on liquid diet and prednisone, and we have an appointment for him to see a GI doctor tomorrow!
Marvelous news! Give him my best please, and I hope the appointment goes well. *poof*
I will pay out of pocket, of course...
watch him carefully on that prednisone.that med is like good cop/bad cop.has so many side effects
indeed, crossy, so far he seems ok, and will be tapering off in the next few days
nasty stuff!
bye, stid!
yes,most docs regiment it very carefully
I should have brought him on the trip with me - he would have gotten sick while we were in Canada...
wish frank was here,we would get him fixed right up
lol
yes, it has a lot of side effects but it probably saved his life
i'm sorry that is serious and funny at the same time
yes,your travel insurance would of covered him here
when i sant the boy and the mrs to states for 2 weeks,it only cost me 20 bux for out of country insurance for the entire time
sent
ah well, he wouldn't have had travel insurance so he'd have been SOL anyway. Still would have been fun to bring him along.
i just ran it through blue cross
funny,was the only time in my life i ever used an insurance company to pay for health care;)
I don't get why anyone wouldn't want universal health care. So many people in the U.S. are against it.
probably would be a lot more expensive coming from this side
it is odd sean
anyway, gotta run, bbl!
tc suze
right hand t?
I have to pay so much for health insurance, it's crazy!
th 4= olde english for "you"
that isn't from the right.
we just pay at tax time sean.everyone is covered.everyone
I know! I want that!
that's the train bridge, hursh, tr7/28
sorry hursh.sometimes i miss what is coming from where
ah thanks
At least I have cheap mobile date rates :)
lol sean,before universal heath care we had o.h.i.p which is a lot like what obama is fighting to get you.sort of a half way point to universal health care in that you pay quarterly to the govt a rate that is geared to income.then when we were offered full universal health care in the late 70,s you almost got ruined in the rush hehe
data*
lol,you can surf the net while dying in the ditch sean
Last br4/6 is just silly.
At least it won't cost me a penny for them to find my body using the GPS on my phone
i can hear them now"keep the booze,food,smokes,and data cheap and they will ignore the healthcare"
lol
clue for 2nd re9, anyone?
i have making over (fashion) but don't know if that's 1st or 2nd
re+ changing your clothing trend
I'm laughing too cross, but I also cry a little inside
TYVM
it will come sean.use your vote wisely
what's the other one then?
another re 9 is giving the horse new footwear
aha thanks
what's the 3rd 9? I have the re's
br
Br9.
making me dizzy this grid is
br 9/78
br7 is a type of coarse brush,just extend it for the 9
If everyone voted wisely, we would actually make progress. I live in america, remember? We don't make progress anymore.
we'd rather have guns than healthcare to fix the gunshot wounds
what is the other re?
Hi Sean, hurshy, crossy, Annie and Judi
i know hurshy!
lol,my brother lives in nevada now and cannot believe how easy it is to get hand guns
howdy bichon
he says it is so easy,he collects them now
Hi Bichon :)
here,you have to jump through faming hoops and tons of paperworks
Yeah, it's not hard at all to get surprisingly powerful weaponry.
flaming
Yeah, we just have a 2 week waiting period and a background check.
omg
i wish to goodness there was some way to split into two countries so the conservatives could have a place to have it all their way and the liberals could have the same.
bichon - re9 (2nd one) is the one about fashion, st5 changes from season to season, so you need to re7 your wardrobe - or hairst5 - then add gerund ending
I am proud to live in a blue state. But I am afraid Linda McMahon is going to be elected to the Senate from CT
oh bichon, i will die of embarrassment if that happens
tyvm rbud
you will have wrestling on the Senate floor every Monday
Are you a US citizen hurshy? If not, you will have nothing to be embarassed about
I could have a gun in my hands legally registered to me in two weeks if I had any desire to do so, but them if I shoot myself and don't have health insurance... Sean goes bankrupt or dies, lol
here,for a handgun,first off you must be a P.I.a officer of the law,a customs agent,a ministry officer.take many courses,and you must apply seperate for concealed permit.if i use for gun club/target range i must phone the police tell then where i am going with it,how long ill be there,my estimated return time and sign in at my local station
yes and i'm IN connecticut.
(accidental shooting)
lol sean
Of course, in some places you can take your gun with you everywhere you go
just like the old west eh? lol
except on the plane, the one place we are sensible about guns.
I know that you're a fellow nutmegger hurshy
There are some gun toters who feel they should be able to take their gun on a plane
well,that nasty cabin pressue and explosive cabin decompression can make one pause in filling the air with lead
We did away with the leeches.
I sometimes feel I don't live in America the country, but rather just live in CT.
Clue for the last oc5/14?
probably the best way bichon
bichon, it is very much like that for most states i think. i feel the same way living in OH
Does Canada feel more homogenious [sp] Crossy?
LOL lost chicken just posted in online neighborhood listserv
clarify it a bit for me bichon
homogeneous
not had tea yet
Oc5/14? Anyone? Anyone?
oc + J***a Louis Dreyfus
oc5 = a latin pl for something to do with an eye
Ty, Une! Fireworks!!!
more like you're part of one country instead of mostly being regulated by your state's laws.
Do you, an Ontarioite, feel like other parts of Canada share your basics. Difficult to express
congrats, judi!!
very much so sean and hurshy
I think is sort of what she was asking....
we are canadian first,ontarian second
yay, Judi!
What about Ontario and Quebec? Do you feel that together you are one, or quite different?
I mean, I know I'm american and all, but it doesn't come up too much. Mostly have to report to the state.
take myself and a inuit man from a villiage 300 miles above the permafrost and we are canadian first
oh some of the quebec people want to secede i know that
I feel close to MA and lower NY, but not at all with NH
Yeah hurshy, and Texas and Cali would do the same if they could.
bichon, from OH, if I go south one state, it's a totally different feeling in KY, same goes for north east or west.
some do hurshy,but it is a tempest in a teacup as far a quebec seperation goes
well, i am a quebecer first and canadian second.
lol,mon13
many quebecers will say that
Me too monty... except Ohioan first and American second.
remember last referendum crosshair: 50.something vs 49. something = more than a tempest in a tea cup...
of course some albertans will say let the easten bastards freeze in the dark,but over all we are canadian
still not finding the br9 - any further help appreciated, ty
as long as you pay your share of the nation debt before you go;)
but babble is not the place for political debate ...
I feel that CT embraces things I hold dear: same sex marriage, health insurance for children and more
no
rbud, if you are angry your hair may bre br 9
New York State does the same bichon
Are we having an intra-Canadian fight here?
As long as its casual discussion and note debate, I think we're safe.
Hi all
br + you ain't just wh******* Dixie
Yess, Annie and that's where I came from
As much as I feel that many parts of the U
not*
not at all bichon
ahhhh, ty! was trying to make the Brer Rabbit br5 work
not at all bichon, just stating a well known fact is all
Everytime I visit my in-laws in VA I feel like it's a foreign country
S and I are not in agreement I still feel I am an American first and a New Yorker second. We are a whole.
many quebecers have strong thoughts on this issue,did not mean to take it too lightly mon13
*Waves at Bich from down in foreign country land*
be that as it may,I AM CANADIAN FIRST as the commercials say
np crosshair
Hi Molly :)
I sued to feel that way Annie, but not any more. The red and blue states have really drifted
Hi Molly
*used
tx molly for br9
bichon,
Bich, yesterday Yiddish sorrow, today...Irish sorrow. What's with all the sorrow? : )
bichon, (cant type today) The states have always had major differences
Just got An7 and 8
Molly, I don't feel as if you are a foreigner, and I could live in MD, but I feel more at home here.
I wish I could say that, Annie, but the state laws affect me so much more directly, and I have a lot less influence at the federal level.
You're right about that Annie. Ever since before the Revolution.
Molly, what are the stats for Irish sorrow?
what is Irish sorrow? I'm cl**less
wi5/18
I have it.
Especially with the presidential elections.
ty Molly, didn't know that, but I will commence to used it daily along with tsoris
Aye and Oy, Bich. : D
Presidential elections tend to bring out the worst in all of us
See Molly, we have our ethnic backgrounds together
an 7/8 Boo?
shri
morning babbleverse
oops sorry !
Hola viajes
An7 most angry
hi viajes
ty Boo
Yw
We need to revamp our pres. elections for sure.
I would love to do away with the E College
that are way too long sean, that's for sure
My first thought too, bichon
I hope this election doesn't divide our country.but it might
It only pushes the importances of states over Americanism
Boo, I think this country has been divided for a long time.
And we really need to find a way to have more than 2 realistic parties to choose from.
bichon, your "E college" comment made me look for that word in the grid
I don't think it's there
Very true sean
(realistic as in whether my vote will count)
I think we need to do away with political parties altogether, lol - you'd think by now we'd have found a way to do so, still stuck in the whigs and tories mentality, sigh
So, maybe instead of getting rid of the E college system entirely, we could have the appropriate number of electoral votes apply from each state based on their percentages.
let everyone run for office on their individual merits, not as one party or another
viajes, I was just shortening Electoral College
*dreaming on*...
I know, bich, but it made me think maybe you were hiding "electoral" cuz it was in the grid :)
indeed, rbud.
no, twasn't
no
It would be nice to hear from some of our English Babblers about the subject.
The best thing we could do now, I think, to make 3rd or 4th and beyond parties actually have a chance would be to vote for multiple candidates, based on priority.
unless you spell it elochtser college
Clue for ba6
can I get a clue for the first to 6/24?
don't have it Boo.
ba 6 - taking off your clothes
I am ba6 my body before taking a shower.
ty mixi
to - putting digits of the foot on a line
to + consonant + gerund ending
Thanks!!! teach, didnt try the gerund this time
and bichon
two different to 6/24's
yw
Annie, is the Liberal party still on the ballot in NYC. My parents were that party
So you'd have a first choice, 2nd choice etc.. so you can vote for the Green party as your first choice, and then put the democrat as your 2nd choice, and they would be weighted differently so people could have more confidence in having a vote for a 3rd party candidate actually count.
I have both now
Sorry, I'll try to stop with the political talk...
still need the T in the right column please
bichon, I think it is now Independent
It's possible that Ralph Nader's party lost Gore the election. He might have won Florida
i voted for our green party one year:)
tr7/28 kind of table -- also railroad term
lets talk about bacon instead
thnx une
yw :-)
th4/6, teach, old fashioned way of saying "you"
had that one une - its from the center T
Clue for bi5
bichon, I believe Nader lost Gore the elecion
Me too annie
th5/12 and th4/40
no it's not, teach . . .
th 4/6, teach for "you"
t+dark abyss
Annie, I thought that's what I said
wonder if obama and romney like bacon..:)
Then gerund
Yes, but Gore did still win the popular vote and didn't get to be Pres.
bichon, Yes, I was agreeing with you
Not sure crossy
phantom eulogy
funny how dogs have figured so prominently in the mudslinging this election
Ah Babble. It always comes back to dogs. : D
dogs on the car roof, dogs for dinner... :P
:-D
That's happened more than once in our history, and it just confounds me that a candidate can be able to get the most total votes and not be president...
hi all,back from exercise class. I have the ba8, help with other 8 pls
There should be a clause preventing that from happening.
bi5 - large + adverb ending
Read the Federalist Papers and find out
Okay, shutting up now :)
an8 most irate
tx bea!
ty Une, did you watch Nashville last night?
I was already feeling icky about Mitt before I saw a special on PBS the other night, now feel even ickier - it would be like electing one of those door-to-door Witnesses and putting him in charge, far too religion obsessed for my liking
will watch it On Demand today :-)
that bi5 is an odd word
Ty
Been icky about Mitt even with the first time he spoke
I have yi4/6, help with other y pls
what kind of name is Mitt anyway? what is it short for?
ya4/8
I don't know peri
rhymes with Big B*** Theory
of course, merci, Une
Plus I just can't vote for someone who believes that native americans were white.
yw :-)
I do like that show :)
and that Jesus was in the US!
me too peri!
any comments on the planet Kola?
(and who said "where'd all this water come from?" while touring the flodded areas...)
hey, ru :-)
*flooded
christians believe in all sorts or weird things
Ryan scares me more than Romney does and that's saying a lot
*well.. there's the understatement of the year*
LOL
Me too
indeed, annie
And Jesus gave him more biblical texts that only he could read with his decoder, and to test his legitimacy, his wife told him he had lost the original texts he had translated and it needed to be done again... and it came out different the 2nd time.
The Doonsbury comic strip this week has a theme of Romney going door-to-door in France
fireworks
woot Annie
Oh yes, every religion has their own quirks.
and hi ruru
hi annie
yay, Annie!
seems like the mormon religion has their jerks not quirks
congrats annie
Hi peri, you're not in the grid today
uh oh,religion,everyone out of the pool!
At least he doesn't worship a science fiction writer though.
hi bichon, there is always tomorrow :)
Ruru is asking for it again.
Hi All
ooooh seans...lol
Mitt isn't short for anything. His name is Willard Mitt Romney.
One day my real first name was in the grid. I was shocked
currently,i am into rooster worship a la J.D Sallanger
so does anyone want a clue before I leave?
better watch out .. John Travolta will have sex with you
I am a culinary Jew.
<---staying out of this one
cool,more bacon for me
Poor Ru. So misunderstood and misrepresented. : D
He has a kid named Tag
Bring it on Travolta
I believe it was Saturday that MITT and ROMNEY and ANN was in the grid
good move Ruru
<---need to cut and paste something
Molly we missed you for the 400 word one
cross, that bacon remark is something I hear a lot too being vegetarian.
lol,sorry sean,i respect your right to graze;)
Sean, crossy has a bacon thing
I was here Hego, just not chatting. Big grid days, the chat is just one long clue fest. I'm one of those weird people who likes to find words myself. : D
It's not always bacon, but you get the idea....
lol
bye dear babblers
lol@ "bacon thing"
well, you were missed
I know, d.i.l. is a vegetarian.
bye Annie
Oh, and I absolutely respect everyone's right to believe whatever they want.
me too
well,as soon as i discovered that bacon extends my life,well i had no choice
lol
bacon extends your life, how?
I remember visiting them for Christmas and son made a Tofurkey. There were lots of comments, none of them nice
or are you just joking, crossy?
crossy's cholesterol count is way too low. Has to boost it with bacon
he is Peri
I see
doctor told me once that each slice of bacon will take 6 minutes off of my life and after some quick calculations i found out that i should of died in 17455
I like to say crossy has a lardon for bacon
1745
I mean, really, when you look at all the possible knowledge that there is out there in the universe(s), we really don't know anything from our little corner of our little galaxy.
hahaha ruru
It is not the bacon that will kill you. It is the nitrites they use in the processing.
colesterol count is 95!! booyaa!
we indeed know squat sean
yay Crossy
<---heads to gutter
that's less than half of mine.
lol Ruru, good one!
And the fat, Bea, don't forget the fat :)
wow crossy
lol@ tofurkey
Fat won't kill you in moderation
I have one every year!
:)
ch7?
good for the skin and hair.
ch7 - Agatha's last name
Lardon...that...was perfect. : D
ty Bea
mm,bacon..cancer will kill me first anyways
True. Nothing will kill you in moderation, but some things should be moderated more than others :)
crossy, Tofurkey is for real, but not for taste
it,s real?? omg
tofu will kill you in moderation
Clue for ch7 please
lol,i shall pass on the bean curd cubes then
Only in America Crossy
Just clued, Boo - 10:07
ty bea. fireworks.
Yea! Mixi!
must go bbl.
congrats mixi
Soy should be moderated too, yes. If you're a veggienaut like me, you can't just replace all the meat you used to eat with tofu!
agatha doesn't work
If the movie Crazy People were re-made, the ad line for tofu would be "Tofu. It's good for you, but it tastes like crap."
I'd rather eat sheet rock than tofu
It tastes like what ever you cook it in.
Agatha's last name ends in ie.
change the last two letters to the sometimes vowel
Thank you, Molly.
Deep fried tofu in a veggie stirfry or thai curry dish... yummmm
holt
Soggy tofu without anything interesting is pretty gross though.
lol,then if i eat tofu,can i put beef in it? hehe
Soggy Tofu...great name for a grunge band.
mm ,then there would be no pint,get tid of tufu,add more beef
yes crossy
Sure, cross. That's very common in Asian countries
rid
cool
Hey Hoot : )
hi Molls been lurking!
Haz says you are an interested observer. I like lurker better. : D
It's just another ingredient over there, it's not associated with vegetarianism like us westerners
ahh ok
Sounds so sneaky!
But I did clue earlier. I tend to be ignored
Speaking of sneaky, I better sneaky on out of here before I miss my doc. appt.
i am often ignored hoots.never let that slow me down
Good talking to everyone again.
tc sean and nice to have you back
crossy - you are never ignored!
You are bigger than life and beloved by all!
hoots,did i ever tell you that you are my favorite?
No liar!
should be a comma in there....
sokay,i got it
hehehe
When the gasbags are going, disinterested observer works for me.
I try not to get involved with the cluing.
But will check conversations once in a while
brb
lol@ gasbags.good thing babble has this wonderful feature.you can turn the chat off if you wish
I generally do that when they are cluing every word.
mrs says my tongue is hinged at both ends so it can flap more and i can talk eskimos into a freezer hehe
but i try to avoid endless cluing unless directly asked or a particular word really catches my fancy
very intelligent lady!
she is
Try flip time and sometimes early morning or just before flip. Makes me wonder why we need list.
crossy - does she ever get on babble
i have to have the givf of the gab,because the first date did not go well and i wanted her as my wife. i remember it well,saw a nice movie,had a few drinks then i turned to her and said "darling,how do you like your eggs in the morning?" and when she responded "unfertilized" i knew i had my work cut out for me
her vision is almost too bad for babble now teach
Hi all.
howdy gramma
What a nice little grid.
it is nice gramma
I have found that a sense of humor makes a world of difference in my life. You are very lucky.
lopes along at its own pace,but never seems to hit a wall
a sense of humor and a good outlook is critical
i would be so much worm food without both
I'm not sure where I'd be. My marraige was a disaster except for my son. Now I am truly happy and not afraid to laugh or yell. Night & day!
I'm wondering if you all could help me. I can get on Babble Expert on this computer; but, my lap top no longer works when I try to go on. I don't know what happened. Any suggestions as to how I could fix it?
yaa for hoots!
yaa for crossy
gramma what kind. My BF has one that turned wonky too
What kind of computer?
how many words today
His is a Toshiba
140
It refuses to take forwards from Yahoo and refuses to run programs that worked 3 weeks ago
most newer computers have a system restore point program.i would start there
I don't know what it is. It fits on my lap and it's black. Babble is the only thing that doesn't work.
that is only if it ever worked before on that computer
Where do you find the system restorer?
Well I guess that leaves out anything not black.HA
Are any of them not black?
start/control panel/system and security
I'll go get it.
though be warned,if you back up one week,or 2,you lose all things installed in that time frame
or just hit start and in search bar type "system restore"
but if it never played babble since day one,this may not help
first ho6/27?
then i would look at temp files/cookies/stuck registry keys.using c cleaner for computer manitenence etc etc
nm!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol une,and thats a peri
any clue for the last oc5 ?

ey 5/18 - looking at something
36 left, bbl
ty peri
you were right, teach, just add the gerund to everything
old car game? hmmmm
I thought Peri has always been a person (as in a noun is a person, place or thing)
yes, but this adds a second meaning
Jes, put eu in front of the fall oc color
... card game usually played in senior's residences
... by grandmothers who you thought were sweet little old ladies until the get a pack of cards in their hands
good night everybody
oh, carD! hahahahahah. I was trying to come up with a game played in or with cars....
gn ruby
... bonsoir ruby ... a demain
sleep sweet ruby
good night Ruby - sweet dreams {hug}
hey now, I've been playing that card game since I was kiddo...
Beware of the militant Eu7 grannies.
Im not old, and we play that card game, I learned it in college!
... played in college ... watch a guy play the cards so fast that no one noticed he played the ace of spades three times in the same hand
Damn, all we played in college were drinking games. : P
ha ha now that is funny!
LOL
... who says this wasn't a drinking game? ...
the college I went to, it was a drinking game...everything was a drinking game!!!
True enough. You can make anything a drinking game.
i advise against trying to drink every time someone swears in the movie "dusk til dawn"
However, the crowd I run with now are serious card players.
or while playing nude,oiled twister
LOL crossy - really?
well sure, smores. once you get to that point, why wold you need more drinking?
some people wake up amrried the next day
married
Seriously Jes.
I mean, you probably had to get everybody drunk before the game to get them to agree.... :D
i happen to think 'bargle' is a very nice word.... i could be wrong
not everyone jes :)
had a toga/cheese fondue party once..the police have asked me never to do that again
wow -
I agree Rolin.
... only when it has argie in front of it
yes Rolin very nice word :)
phone call - brb
heheh. have you seen skippy's list, crossy? "213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the US army"
no,i have not
Yes, Skippy's list is well quoted here.
where is this list,would like to compare
http://skippyslist.com/list/
well,tell ing a ductch soldier from a french soldier is easy..
yes, i think he was intentionally mistaken
the french ones are so far back behind the wire they are bumping into generals;))
<---- loves all french people:))
lets see,what else is on this list...
ok,irish.i never tease anyone who makes such good whiskey
dr seuss and military operations??... "I will not eat them in Iraq, I will not eat them in attack. I will not eat them in the rain, I will not eat them with Hussein; I will not eat them here or there, I will not eat them anywhere. I do not like powdered eggs and ham, I do not like them, Uncle Sam."
i think this was my favorite: 87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.
i use the rule of thumb that if i wake up giggling about the same idea the next day that i should definatly NOT do it
as for MRE bombs..well i shall have to read up on that one
int the old days with a soldier load out gear,playing cards used to have a celluloid coating you could have fun with,but no longer
lol@ mike and ikes in a med jar during formation..know what is funny,eating a vanillia pudding from a jar labeled mayonaise
in public
mm,i had a problem with govt duccments and forms as well.in the space marked sex i said "yes,please"
chicken and rice MRE as a personal lubricant??!! my god,where do you get these lists? besides,there are some things i will not even do..that rice gets stuck everywhere...

I haven't played for almost a week. mild withdrawl
i am on less right now. . . wandering around with baseball and vollenteering for election protection
election protection in the US? sounds ominous
no it is something i have done every two years since 2002. . .work to make sure everyone who wants to vote gets to vote and have their vote counted
It's true. I saw her on the news last night wandering the streets of DC in a Nats shirt, handing out election protection flyers. : D
lol Molly
that wasn't me. . . i was sobbing in my beer last night after the terrible loss
actually yesterday i wore my baseball taxation without representation t-shirt
ying is not the in the dictionary??
... no ... but br4/6 meaning it's very cold must be somewhere ...
i think the word you're thinking of (i tried it too) is actually yin/ ya**
yin in opposition to ya**
Ding! Dorens is correct.
it is chilly here i have yet to get my furnace to stay on
Wimp, it's not that chilly here. : P
well spelling has never been my forte
... turned the furnace on on Sunday ... ... it's on now until April
not now molly but i have no sunshine to warm up the house during the day so need to be able to take the morning chill out of the house
ey5 doesn't look right

i guess if the pirate with the patch was doing it it would be ey5
... sorry bout that
ey5 is fine. She is ey5 his fine looking behind. : P
merrium webster agrees my spelling with the second e is preferred . . .
:-P
(dose cover up your behind)
... haven't needed to worry about that for twenty years now ...
well there is no accounting for tastes does
I am back and enjoying a chicken and bacon sub with ranch, a ton of veggies on oat grain bread...it is sooo yummy!

Minus the ranch and add southwestern sauce
It does sound better than trains :)
Has Lisa been eating trains again? Tsk.

i swear i have rebooted a number of times and that is always the pic
That is the picture I'm seeing too. Something is hinky with icons.
yeah, i changed that atleast two weeks ago lol
now you can understand why i was disconcerted! haha
I just redid it...try it now
I have always been disconcerted with that one since it says "Christian and I"

TR 7/28 trains cross rivers on these

hey all

howdy stid :-)
hey stid, une, bugs
BUGS!!! I taught three days of third grade!!
<===assumes stiddie means tiny hugs
and we all survived...
good job, stid
of course you had fun. kids are fun
wtg stid
... and lived to tell the tale!
haha not all kids are bugs, sad to say
I am glad you are getting work and having more than one day with a class. that always helps
no the EAs work with the ones that aren't fun, jmc. I was an EA (grin)
me too, bugs -- it was my first time in that particular school, and hadn't done third graders before, but by the end of the first day I was in the groove. Exhausted, though! MAN, are they busy!
I think EAs are the most wonderful people in the world. second only to choclit makers.
short attentions spans but love to learn
what are EA's?
... Educational Assistants
yep. I was redirecting a lot. but then, middle schoolers are like that, too -- so it wasn't impossible. EA = paraprofessional
... help out in class
ah.. here they are I A's. instructional assistants.. what would we do without them?
ah, just getting ready to ask what an EA is, thanks!
deal with the ones that are disrupting the class in some way.......... usually because they are lost

The phrase is actually yi3 and ya4.
Can anyone clue me for the ch7? It's the last one I have left!
sounds like Mr. Ch*****.... you make GOOD cookies
Thx diane. That points me in the right direction!
....hoping that you have that brand of cookies in the U.S. and know the commercials
Fireworks!
good job !
Never heard of the cookies. Glad it worked for SF. I already have the word.
oh, my Chinese pinyin of the pronunciation is interfering with my English apparently.
I guess it's a Canadian company :-)
well done, superflippy
anyone have the dumb yi 4? pls
yi + double consonant
ty, thought I used every combo.
yes, it appears it is Canadia, but they DO make good cookies
bi4 like yi4
*Canadian* company
Diane, I learned the many differences between Canadian and American products when I married my Canadian husband. You should have seen the look I gave him when he got sick and asked if we had any gravol. : O
ha ha :-)
clue for the last o please, an oc 5
and you don't have Neo Citran....
oc + a t***p is a flower from Holland
Neither do we for that matter....
It's TheraFlu here.
ty Molly, I was going bonkers on that one....
Yes I know... I had to find that out when in Arizona a few winters ago and in deperation, needed something.
Brandyjack, love the new picture. Nice hat. : )
No Neo Citran in Ontario, Brandyjack ?
Factory that produces it in Nebraska has been shut down to correct quality issues. Stock is fairly well depleted...
A number of products in fact from the same factory and flu season is upon us...
I'll check and see where mine was made... and..... Mississauga .... LOL
*sneaks in and hugs BJ* I miss you! hey all :-)
well, at least distributed from there .
hi stid :-)
quality control problems with drug manufacturing again? *rolls eyes* *heavy sigh* and people wonder why I am often reluctant to eat food I haven't watched being prepared...
Actually, the factory has been down since January? Can't find the story anymore. Only read it an hour ago...
oh, that is a long time for a factory to be down -- I read a couple weeks ago that Excedrin is only now starting up production again. They were offline for almost the whole year, too.
I don't use the stuff myself. Just prolongs the misery. I guess the factory had problems with pills from one line mixing in with pills from another. Take two aspirin and find out they are what, taladafil perhaps?
Yes, broken pills from other lines. I use excedrin when the regular migraine medicine doesn't work fast enough. I can't be "down" when I am teaching!
dang, only 7 words left. how did that happen. time to go home now....
go BJ go!
No, time to go. Anniversary outing tonight. Being late or even tardy for that would not be wise...
:-D I am glad to see you, BJ. Have a lovely anniversary evening!
I had a question for you brandyjack, but will look for you another time. Enjoy your evening !
Is it short?
just regarding lab tech, my daughter's career... her lab in Burlington... etc. ... Nope, not short.... I'll catch you another time
I'm an electronics lab tech, not medical lab. Not sure just how much longer, but they're gonna have to throw me out...
and I'm off. poof...
bye BJ!
down to 44 here, taking an eyeball break. ((diane)) nice to see you. *poof*
see you again soon stid... take care :-)

I have played similar games before on other sites, none had such nice people
you are doing extremely well for a newbie, smores.

smores did you ever play Acrobabble?
Acrobabble? never heard of it
don't think so...played some only once or twice

Okay, more than halfway...need to figure out something for dinner...bbl

Of course, I had to look getgl4 up.
Large + adverb ending
that's not even a word
thanks
Ok computer geeks out there, help please. I can get on Babble Expert at work but my lap top will no longer open it. I tried system restore, as advised earlier, to no avail. Any thoughts, tricks, suggestions?
"That's not even a word" is the Babble Anthem.
I'd have someone look at your computer. A lot of advice gets tossed out here, but you are better off having someone who knows what they are doing diagnose your problem.
I only have a problem w/babble.
there
Have you tried deleting Expert and reloading it?
there's another babble anthem
Oh, there are several, but that is the only one I'm going to mention.
babble expert? what's that?
I don't remember how I got it. I might as well delete it but how do I get it again?
oh wait, that's something to do with lickety isn't it?
Email Lickety for the link. licketySplitAUS@ gmail.com
yes
lol,snow here tonight and currently 2 inches of snow on the ground 2.5 hours north of me
Thanks I'll try it.
Hey I went to delete it and remembered that that's only the shortcut so I searched for it in my files and it opens. WaHoo!

hey LBD -- *dances around* I had three days in a row with third graders!!! *sparkle look* and today I volunteered in a friend's classroom and tomorrow I volunteer in another friend's classroom! :-D
hi all!
you can call me dawg if you want.
hey sue!
busy busy day today...
(who let the dawg out?)
sounds like a good time for you stiddy!
hi UU
Hi uusue....update on Frank?
how's frank? how's you?
Hi there, sue.
hi stid and lbd! and jilly!
I love being in classrooms. Building a solid reputation right now as a person who is reliable in a pinch. Someday I think that will mean I get a classroom of my own.
Frank is doing a little better, eating some solid food, and we have an appointment with a gastroenterologist tomorrow! Yay!
solid = good
Thank God!!! So glad to hear that uusue..hopefully will get down to the root of his problems!
So happy for you Stid!!
indeed, jilly!
ty stiddie...that one took me awhile....think I hear my bed calling me
and yay stid! sounds like fun!!
I knew I had the day off, sea... so turned off my alarms. Then woke an hour early. *yawn* LOL
glad to read that Frank will finally get to see a GI doc.
yes, we are much relieved, lbd.
don't you just hate that?
yep. I was mighty peeved... but at least I could stay cozy under the comforter babbling for a while instead of racing to be first in the shower.
Boy, that is one problem I have, getting up every day between 4:45 and 5 AM, then so looking forward to sleeping in....and then I can't...
brb doing all the little loads of laundry and time to change out again.
sleeping in usually means 5:30 for me. body functions make me get up.
I finally took some sleeping pills the other night - don't like to take them during the week but it had been SO long since I'd gotten enough sleep that I was desperate
you've gotta take care of yourself, UU.
apparently my son dropped by the house after I'd fallen asleep; I had no idea. Totally zonked.
May I please have a clue for ch7-44? Thanks
female name...think model ch***** Brinkley
agatha ch7
Sue I'm glad I took a look here. I have been thinking about you and Frank. Glad to hear you have an appointment. Glad to hear you got some rest.
oh sue -- you must have really needed the rest (((hugs))) I am so glad you are taking care of yourself
well, down to 36 and stuck. list, here I come!

hiya ruru
HI JILLY
hi, folks!
hi
hi welki, hi ru, hi kje
kje, the image is protected, but this was always my favorite kje icon: http://tinyurl.com/8j6vjfj
dawg! did you get snow today? (we did)
True, but if I had said "hidden arts" which is what it really means, she wouldn't have gotten it.
no snow here. lovely sunny day.
I loved that welk!
Hi welki and kje..hello again molly!
I found it on a link from ping!
hi, jilly :)
what icon?
haven't seen ping! in eons
it's a beautiful image, kje - i tried and tried to save the image, but never could. but i did bookmark it :)
this one, ru: http://tinyurl.com/8j6vjfj
oh that one
I like the coffee
coffee one
Y'all actually save each others icons?
not me
dang phone....brb
the coffee one was good too
ru - enjoying a glass of your last wine rec... with fennel risotto also made with the wine
no, molly - i really liked the image, so i saved the link to it. i like beautiful things :)
jsut the ones we really really like, Molly.
just updated my icon again
oh.. nice
I don't think Ping! has that blog anymore, she would post the prettiest stuff in there
isn't that the best $20 bottle ever?
it is very good ru
<I am the world's preeminent expert on that wine now
how many cases have you consumed?
tell me about the wine, so i can tell my aunt in lakeport, please
fennel risotto sounds pretty good actually
it is good, welk... have her get some!
I have consumed a case and a half
the risotto is actually extremely good. turned out perfect
fennel risotto DOES sound deeelish - but tell me about the wine!
and decorated with a few fennel fronds, it looks pretty too
lol welk
back...
...front...
*humming the jeopardy jingle*
upside down...
...in..
RU! tell welk about the wine! she has resorted to humming!
it is a macon village welki.. from Dominique Lafon.. one of the most gifted winemakers in the world
around...
new comic for you kje
Man, one really has to beg around here.
yay!
screw-cap.. finished.. and should be around $20
LOL!
10....
thanks - cutting and pasting for my aunt, a winy-gal :)
good one, lbd
why are cones so funny?
I know Molly.. but now I'm setting myself up to be chastised as the wine snob for recommending a cheap wine
price has nothing to do with it... a good wine is a good wine
Poor Ru, so misunderstood and misrepresented. *Sniff*
I know.. ... sniffle....
anyone can find a $100 bottle that is decent, takes skill to find good wines reasonably priced (at least here in teh states, not that hard in europe)
I know lots of $100 bottles that are total crapola
<----breaks into wine conversation---FW!!
email sent - thanks kje and ru
didn't say they were all good, said easier
wtg jilly!
yay jilly!
i've lost interest in the debate.
I am enjoying inexpensive wines these days.. they're more refreshing
I haven't...
(but have requested my absentee ballot - should be here soon)
Jilly, I just drink a beer and read the wine conversation. I have no yay or nay on the subject. : D
LOL...in my college days it was Annie Green Springs...trust me...cheap...and awful...
I never caught the beer taste and liked it.. too yeasty
Oh that's right, the debate is on. How are the two buffoons doing?
omg jilly
you must have been stoned out of your mind
I love our local brews...especially Cold Smoke....will have it with my pizza tomorrow...
*blushes at ruru*
hehehe - we drank boone's farm - and splurged on cheap chianti and bottles of mateus
*innocent look*
oh! and blue nun!
Rotgut wine is an adolescent rite of passage.
That it is mols!
makes us stronger, eh?
*passes around a bottle of md 20/20*
Mad Dog, cool.
Oh dear God...I do not want to remember MD 20/20!!
LOL - a common bond!
I never drank wine until my twenties
Innocent, demure, teenage Ru.
Probably a wise choice ruru...more intelligent then
I know and I saved myself for marriage too
:D
HA
Debate heating up...
he was probably plying the young ladies with lemon gin - commonly known as panty remover
Really? Are they using five letter words now?
*places halo over ruru*
bathes in the glow of innocence
that glow - ganja.
ROFL...nice come back welki!
I was wondering what that smell was.
er welki .. speak to ms greensprings below
I never inhaled either
No, debating the right to life, insurance coverage for contraception etc...
i just wish the questions would be a.n.s.w.e.r.e.d.
First time I ever got busted for drinking and driving by my parents was due to cold duck. Heinous stuff.
cold duck! and baby duck!
Silly Welki. Politicians don't answer questions.
I didn't know I've been consorting with delinquents.. jeez
martha raddatz is a good moderator
When I was early in college, a local resturaunts special was fondue and also wine coolers....let's just say, I never was carded...and they were delish!
i prefer to think of my young self as a recalcitrant adolescent
wooooo hooo jilly.. livin large
i wasn't carded either - which was probably not a good thing, since i went to uni at 16
It's life on the other side of the tracks. We don't all eat in high dollar restaurants and sip from stemware with our pinkies in the air. : P
hahahahaha -- that was about a million years ago!
35 for me....*shudders*
Welki, girl genius.
perhaps, but time has evened things out
Yep, I think I wish I had a few of the brain cells I killed back then.....
you shudder, jilly - and i'm doing the math and it tells me that i'm older than you are! now who's shuddering?
What a contest. Who is older and who drank the worst wine. : )
no contest. ru wins.
But I was 18....
good job, ms. raddatz! very well controlled debate
maybe she should run for president :)
Yes she should!
We will have to figure out how to get rid of the good old boy network before this country ever elects a woman president.
brb....
diane sawyer is still so beautiful
now that was a real debate.
speaking of elections - where's jmc? i sure miss her.
hi cos
hi welki , everyone else whos here
JMC was around earlier. Said she has been busy with baseball and election protection work.
thanks, molly
well, time to go pay some attention to those i should be paying attention to - g'night folks
niters welki!
hi cosdem!
hi jilly!
Great debate!
thats no malarkey. facts matter :)
stats coming in look good!!
CNN numbers due any time now
Now onto the 16th...*fingers crossed*
