Hey ru. :)

restaurant in NY jilli
Could be my mom.
Her first and last initials are both "L", haha.

Well, west, I'm clueless

I feel foolish that i didn't find the as 7 until now

shamelessly cluing jilli
thanks, ruru
jilli I am happy to see you are healing well
how are you feeling ?
yeah you missed my pun earlier jilli
what happened in Idaho ruru ?
Thanks, west -- feeling much better today -- cramps gone
i ran out of money
and had to hitchhike home
nice place to end up though
sort of .. not really though
it was more than a little redneck and I sorta had long hair
I guess I did miss your pun, ruru -- was it to do with Idaho? I'm pretty dense tonight
let's just say campfires out that way were pyres they were crosses
hmmm, neil -- did you say you would post a list?
before then jilli.. don't worry about it
I'm glad you're better
Missing 1 7. I have as or ro ro st. ANyone have the last one?
jilli? cramps? you poor darling.
bless you Neil. thanx for the list. am stuck soooo badly.
In case anyone may be able to use it: http://tinyurl.com/Stats-21102012 \n [stats link is also on profile]
went to get icecream ruru..I always think of Idaho as earthy crunchy
Don't ask where that "\n" comes from when I post that... no idea, didn't type it!
thanks a million, neil
thank you again neil this one will certainly be able to use it
A million you're welcomes.
You're welcome again westford.
hello all - tough grid
Hi ursh... no, not too bad at all.
hi ursh
Compared to some of them!
hi granny -- yes, cramps, etc -- result of the antibiotics
Oh no, jilli... that sounds rough.
Ursh, neil is so good at these grids -- I agree it's a toughie, full of useless words
Can you take them with food? If so, might help.
neil, I couldn't get your url to open
I'm a word nerd and boggleholic.
Just go to Bab Anon, Dee. Here's the full link: http://babblersanonymous.yuku.c\nom/topic/736/master/1/#.UIeBwm_qkbA
I'll try that tinyURL link again to see if it's working.
ty so much, neil
Oh man... my fault!
Neil, the course of antibiotics was over on Saturday afternoon. Today is the first one since then without the cramps etc. Feeling almost normal, but not very energetic, and not very bright, obviously!
Ok, this works now...
In case anyone may be able to use it: http://tinyurl.com/Stats-24102012 \n [stats link is also on profile]
And the tinyURL link on profile works too.
I had forgotten to change "21" to "24" before copying and pasting that last post... duh me. :P *rollseyes*
ne9il, that link didn't work -- I also tried it without the /n but that wasn't good either -- went to babanon but not the list
ahh, jilli. you need to get to the chemist/pharmacy and if you haven't them already, buy some pro-biotic capsules. the ones which build the natural flora i the bowel back to original levels. antibiotics are notorious for knocking off the good bugs along with the bad.
hello dee didn't see you come in
Huh. Did I break the chog?
hi westie
babnon worked for me, ty neil
granny, I was taking probiotics all along, eating yogurt, but...
Now you have to scroll over to the right a way to see it all for some reason.
something's amiss with the chog
brb
even if you have finished the AB's jilli, you still need to rebuild the levels of good bacteria back up. then you will feel great again.
Oh ok, jilli... just read your last comment. Hopefully you'll be over that soon in that case.
oh, ok, jilli. just keep on them for at least another week, then
I can't get the stats link to work today
Try this one, anike: http://tinyurl.com/Stats-24102\n012
Oh wait... now that got messed up!
anike, go down to babanon.and open in new window
Ok, go to the one in my profile.
That one definitely works.
Anike, go into BabAnon...all there
When I pasted it in here, an "/n" got added to it.
Yep. Go to Bab Anon or use the tinyURL link to it on my profile.
I have just gone into Babanon thanks
yw
this one seems to work... http://tinyurl.com/9mpqfg4
Thanks rbud. The other one seems to be working now too.
http://tinyurl.com/Stats-24102012
Weird.
But a "\n" kept getting aded to the url in here.
Unless I paste it on its own I guess.
nm, neil, going down to babanon gets us there just fine, thanks!
Yeah. But the link on profile is ok now./
Now, even.
almost sounds like a song jilli
"Going Down To Babanon". :P
why do we have to scroll the chog sideways nwo? Or is it just me?
Who would record that? Boney M?
happening here too jilli
"By the rivers of Babanon..."
" We lay down and wept "
LOL
Haha! :P
that is such a beautiful song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm1g8F\nFRArc
hi
Ugh! Take out the /n in that link!
youtube.com/watch?v=Nm1g8FFRArc
hi herin
Ok, copy and paste that 2nd one.
Hi herin.
howdy. Apparently the cat thinks my hair scarf is his new chew toy. WHILST still attached to my head
hello herin -- long time
Howdy. Yes I don't play much these days
that is such a cool version neil
herin my cat was on the back of my chair 'combing
oops
Yeah. I enjoyed it.
my hair
They do that
A catcomb? Haha.
yeah lol
always thought a catacomb was a dark subterranean place ...
As i am going out for dinner later I wish to not have a hair kink from the hair tie. The cat thinks its his new toy
That's me done. Thanks for the list neil. Back tomorrow. Happy babbling everyone
Hey Matt. :)
And yeah... that's it.
You're welcome and congrats, anike.
just wear the cat as a fashion-accessoire
Yay anike !! hi and bye
The cat thinks he is
hey neil - been here all along:)
HI and bye Anke
I see Matt... lurking in the shadows huh?
not really
neil -- LOVED that clip of the Rivers...
Well you didn't speak until now so I didn't know you were here. :P
but seems i get overlooked a lot with that phantom-profile of mine
Yeah jilli... that was an excellent version of it.
That's why you need to upgrade, Matt. ;)
Besides having continued access to the tile and word stats, of course.
Since we are sharing: http://tinyurl.com/9on3sv3
tile stats arent that interesting, but not knowing how large the grid is until someone posts a list is a bit annoying
Interesting herin... thanks.
Hadn't heard this before.
nice herin..do you know him?
He is my baby cousin.
Well he is 19ish
great !!
He tried out for X factor but didn't have some lame sad story so didn't get past his name
good song
He wrote it himself
He is a good kid
nice voice, herin
he is going to go far
is his name really Ash Ball ?
Yes it is. Ashleigh is his full name but goes by Ash
cool name
does he live close by ?
Sort of
he doesn't sound Aussie is why I asked
Oh cool, herin. All the best to him.
Yep He is an Aussie.
Singers all sound American
How can you say he doesn't sound Aussie, westford? You haven't heard him speak... accents get dropped when one sings.
Exactly, jilli.
that's true jilli
I beg your pardon neil..didn't know that
on the other hand..The Clancy Bros. sound pretty Irish lol
You haven't noticed that you don't hear accents on singers from other countries? I guess sometimes you do though... but not that often.
Oh wll, that's special, west, lol
This is from about 12mths ago: http://tinyurl.com/9dqcv3n it is about his Grandpa.
You can a little, on The Beatles' recordings.
Haha, yeah... you can with some people.
But not most mainstream pop artists.
someone is on my lawn
never mind
oh herin that is so touching
what a beautiful tribute
very moving, herin -- he's more than a singer
My Uncle his Pa passed away a few years ago. He did save him after Uncle had a heart attack.
did he do CPR ?
I believe he called the ambulance and waited at the gate he was a kid at the time
sometimes kids can handle emergencies better than adults
Yes they can/
I wish him success..keep us posted
finally -- nbt/nbs
wtg jilli !
thanks to neil's list
Thanks and Yah jill
Stats the 2 I eys please
ty herin
not sure what you mean, herin -- the two I tiles?
I think the 2 on the right are in 5/10 and io 4/4
Those two hanks
I just need the in 5 of that one
almost like the crying vegetable
Really that is a word :/
anything goes
except dayo
dayo was ignored the other day too
guess it needs a hyphen
going to have to dig out my Belafonte at Carnegie Hall album
well, well over halfway now so as melon would say, mediocrity achieved so I'll go to bed now -- goodnight all...*poof
Night Jill
good night jilli have a good restful sleep
ty -- I hope so!
remember you're rejilliant
herin are you still here ?
YEs indeedly
special occasion today ?
Maybe
don't want to jinx it ?
Its my birthdat
Awww Happy Birthday !!
You should have told us
Thankyou
She just did. Happy birthday, herin!
congratulations !!!http://tinyurl.com/9e4rndb :)
Well I am only 35 so it isn't anything important
Awww Thank you
Of course it is..it's a celebration of you.
True that but that sounds very nacasistic
Look at all the people you've made happy that you are here
And here's another one for you, herin: http://tinyurl.com/6m9cun
Thank you
Thank you
What is also making me giggle is the 100 greatest movie insults
Oh? Where's that found at?
Here: http://tinyurl.com/29j83ob BUT i repeat it is very very rude
Doubt it will shock me. My profile should probably come with a language warning. :P
It is does use a lot of profanity
So I noticed... just watched it all.
If you're referring to that video?
the last one was the best
Oh there were a few good ones in there.
I repeat: a few. :P
Frankly my dear...
and Betty White ?
Yeah, Rhett Butler in "Gone With The Wind".
they just don't make them like that anymore
I do like the old movies how women just are plan bitchy which is more effective than being a potty mouth
sometimes it just feels good to swear
but I know what you mean
It does but it just shows a lot more intellect
I think I'll call it a night..Happy Birthday again Herin and enjoy your dinner
gn west
Night West
gn shall and you too neil
I should be getting dressed soon. some how got to look decent
Good night westford.
And herin.

enjoy your day, herin:)
hi shallow
small bit tricky, smores
*but
good morning
hi ruby
hello shallow
hi ruby : )
hows the new car?
just got back on - computer being weird
it took me four tries to get in here, smores
the new car is very cute
what colour?
we special-ordered blue, but it's white with a vaguely bluish cast (right!)
lol
do you like it anyway?
I don't care; the interior is lovely and it is very solid, much better than the old small VW
is it larger than the lupo?
right now, husband has taken it shopping and as he is having trouble starting it (!!!), I am a little bit worried
hope its well insured
yup
i suppose in the new cars youre supposed to start it just by the key, not hit the gas at the same time, as you migth have learned decades ago
and this is our first car with an automatic transmission
that would get me getting used to as well
I ihsisted on automatic; I think I'm old enough to have earned it!
he's back....
good news ...
oh good Ruby
no lichety?
no. theres a list on babanon, though
odd for a Wednesday
thanks Shallow
kudos to neil...
Morning all - hey Norma are you well enough to go today?

yayyy Fireworks!
There is a copy of the list in my profile for anyone that wants it
hello Babble friends :)
morning Sprite :)
thanks Nan
hiya Nanette, wtg!
your welcome legend
hiya sprite
hiya Legend :)
I'm getting head butted, guess I better feed my little friend. Happy babbling everyone
lol they can be so funny. Bye Nanette, have a good one
*sings 'Bad, bad, Leroy brown... baddest man of the whole damn town..." Not valid though
do
wth... why not yoyo?
It's hyphenated.
ah! Never knew that. Thanks Molly
Help: TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary. yoyo (a variant) and yo-yo are not allowed because: Help: The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary. Enable does not have those words
roflollll. Thanks for that laugh. Hello BabbleRabble, good to see you :)
Babble = totalitarian dictatorship of Enable
Help should take out the "TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED" section because it causes confusion. The "TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED" states all we need to know.
absolutely. Help should just say: Babble is ruled by an obsolete version of Enable that so far has not been found on the internet. If your word is not accepted by the game, it is not in this particular version of enable. Live with it.
oh, BabbleRabble... my obnoxious son came home late last night... not looking good... not wanting to talk... so I just told him to come to me and I hugged him and he cried. Told me this morning he had a fight with his girl. They solved it this morning and he said he really appreciated the hug without having to explain.
made me feel that basically he and I are okay, no matter the puber frictions.
Well done, sprite
didn't do much except being there for him, as a mother should. But it went a LONG way to reassuring me about our relation.
You know your son and intuitively did the appropriate thing.
yeah. It is not easy to be 16.
Good morning! I had to come up with my Babble password this morning! It took me a few tries!
hiya car.ee :) Lol yes, it is easy to forget. Cleaned out your cache?
Finally upgraded my browser.
ah, that's why. I hope you'll enjoy it.
It is hard to get used to.
always tough to be moved out of our comfort zone :(
fireflies. Not a hard grid today.
I have an APB out for my comfort zone.
Congratulations Sprite! Well done!
Congrats, sprite
Hi BR! Your comfort zone is right here in Babble Land!
I am worried that Car has been transported to a world where all things are cartoon. Kind of like that Twilight Zone The Movie segment with Anthony.
Hello, car
hi again everyone :)
Hi Molly!
Hi smores!
congrats sprite
I like being a cartoon. I have more fun.
congrats
:) am gonna use that line some day, BabbleRabble. Cannot give you a comfort zone... but hope to offer you some measure of comfort occasionally :)
hiya smores :)
hi sprite and congrats
might be why it is called a Car.toon, Molly
Hello, smores .... how's your onion?
it is in the grid, lol
very apeeling
lol
Oh no! BR! PB!
oh oh ... pb here I come
*moves BR's hammock into the PB*
lol
hello everyone
I rent a condo in the PB
*installs computer comfortably over the hammock, just right*
hi Annie :)
Hi Annie!
*near the hot tub*
Hello, Annie, and thanks Thanks, sprite
maybe theres still pumpkin cream cheese and bagels left
Day two of construction about to start...God, grant me the serenity to deal with my mother's repeated questions and stress.
...pumpkin cream cheese.....
anything on or5 in the PB today. Just name it and I'll bring it in.
Ty Sprite! Needed that one!
car... "this too shall pass.... this too shall pass"
I just have to be more patient.
*grins* my pleasure, car.ee!
Trif was so good to take her for the day yesterday. But last night was a horror show.
The guys working are so patient and understanding. They really are great.
I had the other cataract removed from right up yesterday. Very uncomfortable, can't wait till this plastic shield taped over my eye comes off today. Will see you all later.
Trif rocks. So do you. Don't be too hard on yourself for not always being patient.
Take care Annie! Hang in there! {{hugs}}
bye Annie, I hope you heal up well and quickly
Be well, Annie
Good luck with the construction car. It will be over and your Mom will be back in familiar surroundings.
I just told her that we should get her and the dog set up in the living room...she didn't even know why. It is so sad.
And anything like this, out of the routine, throws her for such a loop.
Yes, it is sad. The understanding and patience of the construction crew helps tho.
Blessings to your Mom, Car. I went through this with my Dad and it does take a considerable amount of patience.
This project HAD to be done. Her bathroom floor had rotted out. But from here on, unless a project or change is ABSOLUTELY necessary I am going to say no.
Thank you Molly. And thank you all for letting me vent and for your support.
We understand. You are a great daughter. Keep on truckin'.
That is just it...I am mediocre at best. I need to be much better.
Remember to make your own well-being a priority, car. Caregivers often suppress their own needs resulting in depression and burnout.
no you don't, car.ee. Just be you. You care, you try, and you do well enough. *hugs*
I need to get back to jogging....
car. Be kind to yourself.
stats for the single A on the left?
amen to what BabbleRabble said. *hugs* to you all, am off to make a pie with my daughter.
What kind of pie?!?!?!
crying veggie
ae4/4
Your sisters might help by giving you and your family some time for yourselves on a regular basis.
Nope. Neither of those come from that A.
not sure you know it, it is dutch. Kruidkoek. With spices and nuts.
The coven really has been doing a great job of that!
Great!
I googled what Sprite said but can't read any of it! Clue please?
yay for the coven :)
this is weird... cannot determine which one is the single A!
it is either the veggie that makes you cry or the plural
TY Lisa! It was the plural!
Crew is here. I wish you all a wonderful day! {{hugs}}
ah, of course. The singular comes from the top A. Ok, bye all!
be well, car
you are welcome :)
i only have 28 words lol...but I have that one!
Good morning all
Soon you will dispatch this grid with facility, LisaG
Hello, Boobear
:) thank you Babble
How is the grid today
morning all. clue for the no7 pls...last 7 for me
i only have one 7 and its teh or
np, always harder without lickety for me
no7....when the sun is at its highest point
TY, kim
ty-I thought of that but didn't see it!
I have the first part...but not getting the full word lol
opposite of night, lisa
tadone!! finito!! tough little grid.
WTG, dawg!
ugh...thanks...never heard of that word before~not in that sense
congrats lbd :)
hi everyone! nono has a list in her profile if you need one.
ty, bzzz and lisa
I am not sure this puzzle can be finished by me lol
Sure you can. Find one more word until there are no more to find.
yeah, but some of these words I have never heard of before! I am putting letters together...and creating new words lol. I have 53 so far
I just got here, but it's slow going. Stuck at 38.
I started about hour and half ago lol
no5/14pls?
loud
need the vowel in the fifth column
in5: sounds like the veggie that makes you cry.
io4: small particle
anyone have the 'L'
visa
sierra le****
hello, all :-)
Hello, Une
ah, thanks!
woops :) good eveing all - isn't this a terrible puzzle
yes, it is an annoying one. Too many ys and who can believe yoyo isn;t a word???
it is a word ... one that enable does not acknowledge
well, that annoys me LOL
The Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon (ENABLE) dictionary has been the source of much consternation.
yes, constenation LOL Well, it annoys me but not enough to spoil my Babbling or my day LOL
ENABLE http://tinyurl.com/ycjubtk
marty ate like, as much as he should, last night and this morning, yaaaaaaaaaaay!
No list today?
babanon and nono in her profile
i think it's yo-yo and that is why.
ty
anyone have a clue for the e in the 4th column?
sea eagle
sea bird
wow lol...thanks hokie
off we go, into the wild blue yo6!
see yo-yo doesn't bother me because i think there is a reason. but nooner, that bothers me.
Have you yi 6/27 in consternation?
i don't know - i have that word but don't know what it means :)
The only think that matters: TYPES OF WORDS ALLOWED The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary.
I know, nooner always gets me.
TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary... is superfluous
yes but, that still leaves the question of WHY nooner is not in the enable dictionary.
Because Enable decided not to include it
some people are content to take things as they are, other people wish to see things improved, i guess it's just a temperamental difference
Enable is not required to view an addition as an improvement
enable is not a decision making agent, it is a dictionary created by people.
Dr_God has decided not to use the updated version
aha, then we can lobby him :)
That description may be used to deride all organizational actions ... Ford decided to bring back the Mustang .... no, its executives did?
i dunno, a company is *made up of* people, that seems to be a slightly higher level than a thing *created by people* - i think the analogy to enable would be the Mustang, rather than Ford the company.
no different than a word not included in a dictionary
people made the decision about the word and the Mustang
The law treats a corporation as a legal "person" that has standing to sue and be sued, distinct from its stockholders. http://tinyurl.com/cysn3xj
in other words it is a legal fiction:)
There are many in US law
Someone involuntarily committed in civil proceeding does not have the protections of the Sixth Amendment even though he/she cannot leave the facility if the masters want to keep him/her.
And the folly is the very same person is deemed to have the capacity to waive a hearing that might allow him/her to gain her freedom
Good morning, all. Egad, legalese! Run for your lives!!
It makes me feel less frustrated to think that Enable balances out with lots of words or forms thereof (beyond "babblets") that aren't in recent or common or grammatically "correct" use.
hi again everyone
This version of Enable is a dictionary that goes with the game; a rule book for Babble perhaps.
took my daughter to school, made the most delicious omelette and now ready to Babble!
morning all!
Perhaps .... some, however, are implying those who do not protest the deficiencies of enable might be with the ignorance is bliss crowed
crowd
Hi All. I believe yoyo is a proper noun. A brand name.
it may even be hyphenated.
Doesn't matter/
I thought yoyo was ghetto for "hello".
yay Judi!
ghetto ... my my
naw, ignorance is bliss definately does not apply here
I no longer protest because it is what it is : )
Word from the hood, yo.
ok, I am ovbiously too zonked to find any words this morning. Will go shower and walk the dog, maybe that will wake me up
Help: The only words that are allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary.
I have the same problem with oreo, band aid kleenex. These were originally brand names but have passed into the common usage.
we know, BR. But we don't like it. lol
I do think oreo should be an exception :)
me too. I have heard people use it to mean sandwiched.
like said it is what it is, I still may conplain from time to time, but it really doesn't bother me
contact enable and suggest it ... contact Dr_God to use the newest version of Enable
Right BR.
Enable can suck it.
Judi is very succinct.
Heaven knows I try.
lol...dont' hold back Judi
: D
Well, ghetto, hood, legalese and suck may be succinct but I have some different words for it
none of which are in Enable huh BR...:)
Are too are too are too.
?? lol judi

... if they put an "ed" in the grid ... ya gotta check every word ... ... there'll always be someone ... somewhere ... who once used it as a verb ...
so true dose :)
And if they did, Enable put it's oddball stamp of approval on it.
:)

yay, fw here, too
wtg rose!!
Last re6/21?
cuter story..
daughter sent her boss an email telling him that she would be taking half a day off on friday
a few minutes later she walked into his office for some papers and he said why are you taking half a day off?
shje said obgyn............ he turned red and turned away
and thern he said which half............ wait for it...................... YES SHE DID !!
re6/21 to go through a book again
Thanks molly.
SMom, the boss asked for that one. : D
i don t think he will ever maker that mistake again-lol
Some people just naturally set themselves up for jokes. Like my Mother did, when she was doing Christmas crafts and called up the local department store. When a gentleman answered, she asked "Do you have styrofoam balls?" : D
what happened to river?
love it
how many words today?
134
thanks molly
Ruby, River slipped on some wet leaves in her driveway and fell down hard on the cement.
ouch! that can happen so easily
why isnt "yoyo" a word?
I think she has one of those sloped driveways that are difficult to maneuver in slippery conditions.
Yo-yo is a hyphenated word.
aha...you are right
I am worried that husband will fall that way, but fortunaTely, we haven't had rain so the piles of leaves he rakes are dry
One way to avoid that is wearing non-slip soled shoes in slippery conditions. Dress shoes with slick soles are asking for trouble.
half and good night
Bye Ruby
help with y in 2nd column pls
Way over yo6
sheesh, thanks Molls
I keep trying nooner but it is still not accepted
Chop off the last two for the other.
thanks, Molls, did not think of doing that
That is because the Enable word list was created by boring, old men who have never had a no4er.
that is what I think too, Molls
stuck with 55 left, bbl
They tell dumb, corny jokes and wear sandals with black socks. : P
foflol Molly, I thought the same thing...have had many of those lol
ro 7/36 plz
Past tense of cowboy riding show
ty molly
and now it is time for crossys tidbit of the day!! http://tinyurl.com/94fbfkb
crossy - I just arrived and checked your link. It is WONDERFULLY well put! I hate that word for all those reasons and wish it would disappear from its current, flippant usage. Thank you
Crosshair, your tidbit of the day brought me out of hiding. I also detest the use of that word as an insult. It makes me cringe every time I see someone use it. Thank you for posting.
ty ladies,but do not thank me,we should thank this young man for giving many people like ann a reality check
I just did! I used the contact us form and sent a thank you note. :)
I put the letter on my Facebook page for others to read.
It's a beautiful letter.

hi all

Are you chatting with yourself again? : P
apparently
but i am such a fascinating conversationalist it is hard to tell
Indeed. Decide on a costume yet?
did you get out on this lovely fall day molls
not yet
Yes, how gorgeous. But now Topper tells me some tropical storm is headed up the coast. Blargh.
my sister and i went walking on the the c&o canal from old anglers end up to great falls
bad topper
That is a beautiful walk.
good thing we got out today then
from 10pm tonight to 3pm tomorrow - our first significant snow fall of the season :) hi all
The jokes have already started amongst the people I hang out with. We know a "Hurricane Sandy".
we had a nice time. . . saw commerant geese duck two kinds of wood peckers warblers and helicopters
SNOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
You keep all that snow right there around your snow loving self Cos. Thank you very much.
lol will do molly. JMC we get our first snow in October herei n the springs
oh cosdem you mean there. . . you scared me
lol yes here :P
the way the comment flowed into the conversation i gots confusled
I was watching Misery last night and thinking how much I would not like living in Colorado. Pretty and all that, but too much snow and snow too early.
oh sorry! i didnt read the comments..
we were talking about a storm hitting and then you commented. . .haha
thus my confusion
oh yeah thats right i saw tropical storm may hit FL?
yeah
Cold out there Cos? It was 80 here today. : P
craziness
hmmm apparently the writer of enable never got do**ed in his car
60 right now. but nights here are usually cold. 30 degfrees last night. itll be down to 20 tonight
ill be back later!
bye cosd
It that hurricane follows the model that hugs the east coast, our effects will be Sunday into Monday. Hope not.
me too i have things to do monday
stats for the bottom E please
could someone give a clue for the ro 7-36 please
made a mistake j?
competed in cowboy show, nancy
only in asking for the stats apparently ;-)
hi nancy and dorens
just got it , thanks
nbs
oh sorry j. i'll go back to the corner
hi jm
what? oh no i meant my mistake not yours. . .
i really am not that cranky
Doren is a phantom in the grid. Early Halloween stuff. Oooooo.
well maybe i am cranky but not about that. . . .
no . you did ask for the stats. and i gave clue. we can blame it on a number of things in my life. tennis elbow... bad reaction to shingles shot in the other arm. and yes, i am such a phantom!!
oh dear poor dorens! it is wonder that you are here even as a phantom!
I would say Dorens is the one to have cause to be cranky.
and i really don't believe i even know eleven y words! (taking over the crankiness)
i am sure i dont know 11 y words
*passes cranky mantel to dorens*
in any case i don't know the 2 from the other Y :-(
well, i ca be cranky but at least i'm not na***
no i would never say you were na***!
everyone deserves a chance to be cranky
Ay4 and the plural are babblets
hi jee
ty
oh there are plenty of babblets here
how about the third row A?
Hi everyone
plural of word that rhymes with weep-inducing veg ?
ty dorens i really had no clue until you clued!
okay i am off for a while. . .bbl with 93 left
later, j
breaking news in the jessica ridgeway case. a suspect confessed t his mom. she called the police, police came found human remains in his house.. we'lls ee what cmes out of this
the suspect is 17 years old.
and is now in police custody
This just sickens me.
he will be charged tomorrow with attempted kkidnapping from a May case plus the kidnapping and murder of Jessica.
I find it sad that so many teenagers have become dark and twisted.
Why don't these people just kill themselves?
Because they don't want to end their pain, they want to inflict pain on others. Sick, sick, sick.
i dont understand how people can kill people. it makes no sense.
i'm sure, that in his twisted mind, he derived pleasure
That is because you have morals Cos. The people that do this sort of thing are sociopaths. They have no morals.
Antisocial Personality Disorder http://tinyurl.com/9sdywr7 “The individual is at least age 18 years of age.â€

Very sick.

Hi Peri
hey Molls, hi all
Babble Meetup on Nov 10. in Wilmington, DE. see Brookie's profile for more information or Events on FB
tough grid for me
just figured out how to scan using my new printer.
Atta girl : )
but I did something wrong and did not say that I wanted it to be jpeg so I cannot update my icon. it is a really silly picture on a postcard.
I bought the postcard many years ago on a visit to NYC. I will figure out how to to it.
how to do it, even
ty Molls and Jacula for the list
Open the picture with Paint and do a Save As to your desktop in the format you want it in, ie jpeg.
I don't know how to open a picture with paint.
Right click it, click on OPEN WITH, choose Paint
ok
ty, will try that as soon as I finish babble, 20 more to find
na5 pls. I hope it is not a fish
Janet Jackson, Oh You Na5 Boys
ty
good monring all
16 to go - awful puzzle today
Hello, Tanja
Hi should be wqorking :) but stealing a few minutes to try and finish before I head out of door
Molly, I got the picture to Paint but there is no Save AS button or nothing that says format. I am confused
top of screen, file, click on file, scroll down to save as
Click on FILE (top of page) then SAVE AS
snap molly :)
There will be two boxes under your SAVE AS. One to name the picture, one to select the file type.
thanks, just remember you are "talking" to someone who knows very little about computers or printers.
I take for granted all the things my husband taught me about image saving and image formatting.
ok I will try what you 2 have suggested.
bs
I hope that is "back soon" and not the other BS. : D
Oh God, first the debates, now The World Series. My shows are going to be pre-empted until January.
with Nov 6th and all the upcoming Christmas specials.. ur prob right :) christmas eve is 2 months from today!!!!
i have to dig out my christmas countdown clock!
back soon, silly. ok It looks like it is now jpeg but not on my desktop. how do I resize it. I see the resize button but I do not know how small to make it. it is currently 1460x104o px and 1.9 mb
I am getting a headache from all this technology that everyone else knows how to do already.
I will try it myself, bbl
If you want to use it as an icon here, make your highest dimension 350.
I don't know any of this either peri so just keep trying and make notes for the next time.
so instead of 1460x1040 I should have 350x350?
I finally got it to my desktop but not before I had it as my desktop background which I did not want
bbs
You're doing fine Peri. It's a lot easier to show someone how to do this than it is to type instructions.
can you see my new icon. you may need to refresh. I did it!! thank you
it is a cat with human lips. I think it is silly and have had it for many years

At thou request m'lady, I did a Google search. Oberon. Midsummer Night's Dream.
So close, yet, so not. Shakespeare is so tedious.

Come on down, Jillibus -- it's still warm enough, to leave the doors open until I go to bed, waaay late.

Nice idea, Christine -- and I even have Brit cousins in LA!
Haha, gwen!
