military ID but they would take a bus pass

12:46 am

the things you learn in babble

12:46 am

sorry, typo, meant wr 7

1:02 am

thanks shal

1:03 am

have you met marmar on here?

1:04 am

Heard from my old NJ friends -- they escaped their powerless icy cold house to a hotel in PA, tried to get absentee ballots before leaving, no luck. Very upset that they can't vote!

1:05 am

oh too bad..adding insult to injury

1:05 am

thank goodness they're now safe and warm

1:05 am

Jilli I thot people in NJ were going to be allowed to vote by email because of their special circumstances

1:11 am

maybe, bugs, but not from one state to another?

1:11 am

NJ voter here. See http://bit.ly/Wtkq5w for how to vote in NJ even if you are not here.

1:12 am

Thanks Marais. Babble people know everything!

1:13 am

Thank you, marais -- I hope I can get that to my friends but they are in a hotel not using their own computer -- but I'll try right now. Brb.

1:13 am

Displaced NJ voters can vote but it has to be in-state but not at their usual polling station. Your friends can come into NJ to the nearest polling station and vote according to the provisional rules.

1:14 am

Hi there. Just back from a lovely afternoon with friends - now down to the grid!!!

1:15 am

hello liz and mara

1:15 am

Happy voting day to US friends! Hope whoever you want, gets in!!!

1:29 am

not familiar with lewisburg jil.... i have only been to pittsburgh to ikea

1:32 am

shallow - the wr 7 is a plural of the 6 which is a fancy name for a goast

1:41 am

Hi Shallow

1:41 am

thanks anyway, smom -- I tink it's about 100 miles from NJ along Rte 80.

almost like clearasil for chog :D

1:42 am

Hi Shallow, but I got here in time to see the pmples.

shucks ....

so its pb for me

1:43 am

lots of goodies there, shallow

there ougth to besome of the halibut left i caugth yestternight - it was gigantic missing the "ish" and having known 'boy' and 'toy' to go with it half the game

and to crown that i ranted abut the 'ism' not occuring once in the grid

1:47 am

was there an "ish" last night? I don't remember.

boyish/toyish

1:49 am

I tore my hair out looking for that addition to those words -- gave up before I was about to go bald

lol

1:49 am

where did the ism happen?

it was a very mean grid yesterday - cant remeber spending so much time in collins dictionary

1:50 am

morewords is much more efficient, shallow

it didnt - thats what i was musing about, and asked for help for the boy/toy combination at the same time

1:51 am

ah! so I didn't miss that!

1:51 am

found the boy / toy ones very late on!

i dont like morewords for looking up words - too many dead ends

1:52 am

never used morewords. sometimes use a2zwordfinder - but try not to

but the ism, of course is just a letter different than the ish which i just couldnt spot - i wanted to bang my head

1:53 am

that would hurt, so don't bother

1:53 am

Mari are you on you fire?

i use more words when im totally desperate

1:55 am

shallow, a trick for using morewords is to go there, enter a ^ and add all the letters missing from the grid. Copy that to a word processor so you can reuse it. then when looking for a word like, say, bo7, enter bo-----and then the ^plus those letters you saved.

1:56 am

really weeds out the unnecessaries

yep, makes wordlists a lot shorter, i do that too. but only as last resort

1:58 am

I also try not to use it until I'm really stuck, but that's quite often quite soon!

2:00 am

nbt/nbs

i dont use the list until ive got at least half of the words, i dont use more words until im through with the list. whats left is mostly babblets to me or blackouts

2:00 am

good for you, shallow.

2:01 am

I can't get half the words without the list.

2:02 am

And now it's past bedtime so farewell all. I'll be glued to the TV tomorrow.

gn jilli thank for chats

2:02 am

and ...*poof

and sleep well

2:02 am

Sleep well jilli - i'm off too for a while

2:03 am

Bore da, good morning - frosty cold one here on the hill

2:04 am

what's the grid like today?

compared to yesterday its gold

2:06 am

i didn't find yesterday too bad

2:06 am

hi all, back for last 47....Glant so/so here

2:06 am

couple of weird words but okay

got to 108 w.o list

2:06 am

hi diz

2:07 am

108 w/o list today?

today, not yesterday. yesterday i was stuck for the first time at 35

2:08 am

oh dear :-)

2:12 am

looking at the top right E, I have the volcano & pl, and also the en7 to keep spellbound, what are the stats for the other two?

thanks for the volcano, often miss that :)

and just strated the list at a

2:13 am

i am slowl learning not to miss it LOL

seems to be one of the babble-standards - been babbling for just over a month now

2:14 am

Good afternoon all

2:15 am

it is, along with a few others - and you will begin to see them earlier in the puzzle as time goes on

2:15 am

morning lyn

just checked the list - seems you have the en7 which i dont have. theres another en6/7 combo from that e

2:16 am

shallow, en+ca 4 and pl

2:17 am

ty - and where, pray tell, is the list for when i need it?

lickety?

2:17 am

Lickety is up Glant

2:17 am

TY Diz & hi

2:17 am

ty diz - i didn't have the ca4 & pl either!

2:18 am

i didn;t even look at lickety because it hasn't been there recently LOL

2:18 am

the en7 is to keep under a spell, or to especially delight somebody

2:18 am

shallow, go down to bottom of page an click on licketys babble clues

2:19 am

shallow was telling me where the list ios today diz

oh had that remebred wrongly as being seplled with double l - probably because its mostly used passively or in past tense

thanks :)

2:21 am

i thought it had a double l too but often try variant spellings these days

my keys need a bit of oilign i think ...

2:25 am

boy I am old...just looking at this old guy on a local soap and realise he was the young attractive man from another soap...of course it was 40 years ago

2:28 am

happens to us all if we're lucky lyn :-)

2:29 am

well I have been very lucky and so I am still here...and that wasn't a complaint about being old, just sometimes you realise how long ago things were

2:30 am

How is the new house going Glant...is it 'home' now?

2:30 am

yes, i keep seeing heartthrobs who i thought were younger than me, looking older than me on tv. and then i remember that i look older than i think of myself LOL

2:31 am

i'm not sure it will ever be home lyn - i have been here 9 months now, but it still feels odd. perfectly practical but no emotional connection

2:32 am

do you have any pets in the house?

2:32 am

no, i travel too much with work for that to be practical

2:33 am

I thought that might be the case

2:36 am

I am glad you have a peaceful sanctuary - even if it doesn't feel like home yet

2:37 am

it is very convenient and peaceful. i have just had al;l the windows replaced so that it is warmer and they let more light into the rooms than the old ones which had faux leading decoration on them

2:37 am

and i have my upstairs craft room, but i don;t feel enthused to use it much, i expect that enthusiasm to come back one day :-)

2:38 am

it is hard to make time to do that - I struggle even though I no longer work

2:39 am

what do you do?

2:39 am

i have the time, it's the inclination i'm struggling with - total lack of inspiration! i do mixed media stuff, and textiles and some embroidery - all sorts fo things really

2:40 am

i have an embellisher machine which is very fun - it 'felts' things together

2:40 am

well, the monekys have worked well this morning, I'm down to 50, and need to go to work, bbl, have fun babbling!

bye glan, have a nice day

2:43 am

bye Glant - You should look at the work of Annemieke Mein. Inspirational

3:09 am

F/Ws last word was sh 4 stoopid word...LOL

3:14 am

when you click the definition for it it says no definition found... how can it be a babble word?

wd diz

3:15 am

3:15 am

5:49 am

found that one at a library remainder book sale for 50 cents

5:50 am

it always breaks my heart though to see all those first edition hardcovers from the 40,s and 50,s with library stamps and pasted on labels all over the end papers and first page

5:53 am

all those lovely Arkham House prints all goobered up with book plates and little johnnys name in crayon at the top of every other page

5:58 am

and once again a reminder,if anyone has a copy of ray Bradburys 'Dark carnival" Arkham House hard cover 1947 ed,please let me know

6:32 am

hello again, lost internet for a bit

6:32 am

wb smores

6:33 am

Crossy, there was an article in yesterday's New York Times about Americans fleeing to Canada after Republicans taking office

6:33 am

i was just getting back in here after checking my current addiction on FB

6:33 am

good morning all

6:33 am

hi teach, smores, crossy

6:34 am

repubs are the ones that are not obama? if so they may as well stay there.we have the same universal healthcare and freedom to marry who you with without govt interference that obama is for lol

6:34 am

morning WV

6:35 am

Obama is a Democrat.

6:35 am

watch out - i'm in the grid

6:35 am

your is the grid WV

6:35 am

does not mean much to me.if those fleeing are against obama,tell them to stay there

6:35 am

teehee

6:36 am

Hi smores

6:36 am

morning bichon :)

6:36 am

if us canadians could vote it would be a done deal and a landlide already

6:36 am

landslide

6:37 am

so tell the repubs to stay put lol

6:37 am

other way around crossy

6:37 am

Just leave your hands off my Medicare

6:37 am

i always get confused all i know is last informal poll suggests that 86% of us would vote obama

6:37 am

if the repubs get elected - the demos will be fleeing

6:38 am

crossy hugs his universal health care

6:38 am

lol...I hear ya bichon

6:38 am

:)

Morning babblers :)

6:39 am

hi Nono

6:39 am

morning nono:)

Crossy universal health care is great but Obama care is not the answer

6:39 am

need help with bottom left corner P please

6:39 am

you guys may actually like the govt not dictating who you fall in love with and marry as well as eventually getting the insurance companies out of your healthcare:))

6:40 am

teach, Greek word and name of a muscle

obama care does not remove the insurance companies from the picture as I understand it

6:40 am

nono,he is trying to bring you half way.as far as i can figue obamacare is akin to our old o.h.i.p plan where we paid quarterly for health care based on income

6:41 am

Teach, they are both ps5/12.

6:42 am

thanks bichon,bzzn got em both :)

6:52 am

6:53 am

Nono, I don't have it yet, sorry.

6:54 am

Tim seems to be doing ok. We have more peace in da house. He is conforming to the 'hard' rules we have set and makes the most of discussing about all the rest.

6:54 am

6:55 am

go for it, crossy

6:55 am

The original version of Roger Corman’s The Little Shop of Horrors was reportedly the fastest film ever made. It was written in a single night, rehearsed in three days, and shot in two days and one night. Why the rush? Corman wanted to finish the movie by New Year’s Day 1960, when a new industry practice would have forced him to pay the actors residual fees for any showing.

6:55 am

I now have en + I packed my suit***** for the trip.

7:00 am

I am finally going to have my eye looked at today. I can't wait!

7:00 am

sounds like overdue maintenance... what happened, car?

7:01 am

what's wrong with your eye car?

7:01 am

live coverage? I suppose most of the dead do not need it

7:01 am

About 2 weeks ago some dirt blew in my eyes. My left eye has been irritated since then.

7:01 am

lol Babble Rabble

7:01 am

ouch

7:01 am

ouch

7:01 am

teehee sprite

7:01 am

Good one BR! That is how I feel after all of these years of campaiging!

7:02 am

agreed car....YaY to no more campaign ads!! weeee

7:02 am

We are already have "live" coverage here. Our senate race is a biggie.

7:02 am

I expect the dead may find it difficult to produce a picture ID

7:03 am

that is because their pic is so bad, they don't wanna be caught dead with it

7:03 am

yeah to no more TV adds and the constant robo phone calls

7:03 am

lol...probably a few will be voting

7:03 am

<groan>

7:04 am

ugh...the calls

7:04 am

yesterday was non-stop calls

7:04 am

I wish they would limit campaign time to three months. Straight...to the point...limit the negative stuff...just focus on the issues.

7:04 am

agree car

7:05 am

agree car..that would be nice

7:05 am

My friend got called by Matt Damon though! That would be OK!

7:05 am

cool

7:05 am

we just get the computerized messages

7:06 am

That would be great Car. It would be nice if that applied to all the endless "opinion spouting" as well. I got a call from Eva Longoria. I was underwhelmed.

7:06 am

Good morning Molly! It is too much...not to mention how I feel about spending all that money that could go to other things....

7:07 am

definately.....money could be much better spent

7:07 am

Hi Molly :)

a long, usually white cotton dress that covers the body completely, worn by women of North Africa and the Middle East. Wonder if they cut holes so they can see where they are going

7:10 am

i would hope so!

7:11 am

yes I believe so, BabbleRabble. It goes with a kind of veil/hood that has slits for the eyes.

7:11 am

then the dress does not cover the body completely

7:11 am

Tee hee! Just found ch 7/36...what a silly word!

7:12 am

looks like ballet steps to me, car

7:12 am

8:29 am

Good grief...I am inactive to vote.

8:31 am

does that mean you CAN'T vote car ?

8:33 am

Yes, I cannot vote today. I have taken care of it at the Town Hall for next time.

8:34 am

I thought I had switched it all over when I moved 2-1/2 years ago.

8:34 am

I feel so bad.

8:34 am

ah, the move did it... yes it is sad...

8:35 am

i've always viewed voting a privilege as well as a duty... but not everybody agrees with me...

8:38 am

well, first pass 125/52; grid not as bad as yesterday's - take care car "poof"

8:40 am

I actually have never liked voting...I don't like the Electoral College...but now that I can't vote, I feel sad.

hi all, and i see one of my favorite letter squares in teh grid

8:53 am

missed montreal AGAIN. *sigh* hey car and gwen

8:53 am

can't vote, car?

how can you miss an entire city? lol

8:54 am

MOST states have "provisional" ballots that people can fill out and EVERY American is entitled to vote for president regardless of state registration status! States are REQUIRED to tell you this, and to give you a ballot to fill out.

8:55 am

stidmama is right, car

8:55 am

you should still be able to vote

who's telling you you can't vote?

8:56 am

well, depending on which state you're in :)

8:56 am

May i get a stat for a P please?

8:57 am

Yes, I used to work in my state's election department. Regarding voting for president, registered or not, she is entitled to vote provided she is a citizen with full rights (that is, not disenfranchised due to criminal activity or incapacity).

8:57 am

ps 5/12

i have a ps5, all vowels after the ps

8:57 am

hey zoom!!! *waves*

8:57 am

Many thanks!

8:57 am

thanks dose -- saw it right away when you clued it!

the other one is similar, ps5, but has only 2 vowels, then a consonant

8:57 am

Hello, Stid :-)

8:57 am

there are two ps 5...

8:58 am

... morning stid ... morning all

hi everyone who just tumbled in

8:58 am

... 2 x ps5/12

9:00 am

and car -- here is a short news article that outlines which law to cite, etc. http://thelymes.patch.com/articles/not\n-registered-you-can-still-vote-for-pre\nsident-today

i sw5 i once saw nachews on a menu

9:03 am

Good morning, all. Yes. I voted at 8:00 a.m. est.

9:03 am

gotta go, have a lovely day all! *poof*

i'm going to vote in a few. already went there, about 8:30, and the wait was over an hour. hoping it will be a little less after the morning rush

9:04 am

We had about a 15 minute wait, with the line moving the whole time. Not too bad.

9:05 am

No lines. No waiting at my polling station. Zip zip.

9:07 am

I'm heading there around 11, hopefully the lines won't be terrible

i'm off to vote, good luck mael and all who have yet to go *poink*

9:12 am

good luck to you too! Happy voting!

9:30 am

Standing in line now. Bbll

9:31 am

Hello :) Could I please have a clue for the ch5/16?

9:33 am

... c + h4

9:34 am

People check Babble while waiting in line to vote? Wonders never cease.

9:34 am

... looks like the word to describe the surroundings of Wuthering Heights

9:35 am

Or most of the main male characters name.

9:35 am

Ah, got it, thank you.

9:36 am

Never mind, I thought you were cluing he5

9:36 am

... h4 ... looks like he5 but is missing a letter

9:37 am

... I haven't enough enthusiasm to look up what it means

9:42 am

Probably spent all your enthusiasm looking up words yesterday. : )

9:42 am

or channeling al jolson

9:42 am

... did use a lot of time on that yesterday ... true ...

9:46 am

... oh well 42 left ... over half of every letter ... time to go do some stuff ... ... barkeep! sharp pencils and sound decisions for everyone today! ...

9:49 am

I wonder if there are places where voting is still non-computerized.

9:50 am

yes..here

9:50 am

i voted by paper 3 yeas ago, and plan to again this afternoon. It's a scan-tron, so is computer-read, but eye-verifiable

9:50 am

..chad city

9:51 am

most chad ballots are read by punch-card machines

9:51 am

I haven't voted like that in years.

9:51 am

we focus more on grapes than mormons out here

9:52 am

Ru, I read that Amazon is going into the wine business. That should be interesting.

9:52 am

good luck with that... amazon

9:53 am

he 6/24 ??

9:54 am

fireplace sammy

9:54 am

They are supposed to be using New Vine Logistics as their distributor.

9:54 am

Lot18 is successful with online wine. Amazon, we'll see.

9:54 am

ty, ru, missed that extension

9:55 am

I imagine they'll be successful.. amazon that is

9:55 am

that's interesting though

9:56 am

i have that one ru.. need the second one

9:57 am

My grocery store has a huge wine selection, so I doubt it's something I would take advantage of.

9:57 am

plural of he5 as in he6 and moors

9:57 am

i buy 90% of my wine at Wegmans anymore.

9:58 am

thanls... dc... and you were right ru

9:58 am

just THOUGHT i haed it..

9:58 am

In Maryland, there are only a few grocery stores that have a beer and wine license. Fortunately, one of them is five minutes from me.

9:59 am

And my county won't have a Wegmans for a few more years.

10:02 am

right. where here in VA, half the gas stations sell wine, and most all of them sell beer. As well as the grocery, drug, and convenience stores.

10:02 am

The Commonwealth is much more relaxed about that than the uptight State Of Maryland. : ) Fireworks too.

10:03 am

the MOMs in Rockville has wine.

10:03 am

congrats, Molly :)

10:04 am

Clue for se 6/21 please? Well done, Molly

10:05 am

No, I meant The Commonwealth is much more relaxed about selling fireworks.

10:05 am

AH! We still buy many in WV and PA :) And everywhere is more relaxed about fireworks than Montgomery County, MD :)

10:06 am

looking for it, biltong...

10:08 am

thank you, dcseain :) I'm just not getting it.

10:08 am

I agree DC, but I still dig the thrill of doing something illegal every time I light a sparkler. : P

10:08 am

11:10 am

se6 not getting the clue, segment and section are not in the grid

11:10 am

I know segment is 7 letters

11:10 am

it's a line through a circle

11:11 am

I voted and brought some needed supplies to the local fire dept and they will drive down to the jersey shore later today. I am glad that I am able to help

11:11 am

that's a fulfilling day, peri :)

11:11 am

well, I must be dense today cause I do not see it, dc

11:12 am

11:12 am

common in churches and synagogues

11:13 am

I found a se6/21. hope there is only one. ty

11:14 am

I like to help people if I am able to. But I know people who won' help :(

11:14 am

hi all

11:14 am

hi mixi

11:14 am

I voted. when I got home there was a campaign robo call on my answering machine. isn't that illegal?

11:19 am

No Mixi, it's not illegal. I've been getting them for weeks. Peri, good for you for lending a hand.

11:19 am

thanks Molls

11:20 am

I thought they had to stop on election day. Yes, I've had a bunch before.

11:22 am

I don't know about them having to stop on election day. The only laws I know of are about electioneering in the vicinity of a polling place.

12:25 pm

ac6 please?

12:27 pm

good morning everyone :)

12:27 pm

never mind!

12:29 pm

disgusted at PA? (been reading the chat)

12:30 pm

a voting machine there automatically changes ur vote from Obama to Romney. they removed it but i fear the damage has been done

12:30 pm

I was surprised that there is no law against campaigning and campaign ads on election day, too

12:30 pm

i have a campaign commercial on my tv right now lol

12:31 pm

oh wow!

12:32 pm

I hope there aren't any other machines like that around

12:32 pm

the guy took a video on his phone and sent it to the elction commission. they removed the machine. PA could be a toss-up so this is not good news

12:33 pm

I would think that all votes for Romney from that machine would be discounted

12:34 pm

more news out of PA. voters are being turned awayy from polls if they dont have an ID. PA state law says ID is not required. Supreme court ruled. Ugh.

12:37 pm

http://tinyurl.com/b427xps

12:39 pm

ch6 the first?

12:40 pm

I had a robo call to vote for Romney on my answering machine when I got home from voting. I didn't think you could campaign on election day either.

12:40 pm

just looked at that site, knight -- tell me -- how does that differ from Romney visiting polling sites all day?

12:41 pm

it doesn't - that's the point. Both sides are guilty as sin

12:41 pm

...or Florida changing voting times and restrictions at the 11th hour?

12:41 pm

i was under the impression that campaigning is illegal AT the polling site, not on the day of

12:41 pm

Um. Obama didn't choose the polling places. The board of elections did.

12:41 pm

Dorens - 100% right. they must stay 100 feet away from polling booths.

12:42 pm

http://tinyurl.com/axvjs2j http://tiny\nurl.com/a8e9zhy

12:42 pm

ugly business at any rate

12:43 pm

whole thing is ugly. i am avoiding it as much as possible until 11 tonight (other than having voted myself, and assuming my vote will register as cast)

12:43 pm

nvm the ch6

12:43 pm

perhaps we should adopt the Canadian form of govt

12:44 pm

i want the bit about only a few months of campaigning, not 2 billion$$ and 2 years. this has been thoroughly dreadful!!

12:44 pm

I agree dorens!

12:44 pm

... you can barely cope with two parties .... how do you think you'd handle five of them? ...

12:44 pm

lol -- we have our share of minority governments too - I've just never seen the kind of partisanship (is that a word?) that has been exhibited in the states over the last couple of years.

12:44 pm

i'd love five of them!

12:45 pm

we are FORCED to cope with the 2 party system. ALmost every voter wants more than 2.

12:45 pm

... then you'd like a parliamentary system instead of a congress

12:45 pm

well, i'm off to bring warm coats, etc. to a church that's bringing them to a shelter. So glad to be able to do something. later, gators

12:46 pm

12:55 pm

en 7 x2, looking for the other 7 now

12:55 pm

First tie there in Presidential voting history.

12:55 pm

Ahh many thanks to you both.

12:56 pm

I don't think any election results should be shown until all voting is closed. (even Hawaii).

12:56 pm

anyone have a clue for the en 7 that does not been boxes up

12:56 pm

harts landing: obama 24 romney 9 (they voted same time as dixville) so right now Obama has 66% :P

12:56 pm

... is that the town in New Hampshire? ... They've always voted straight Republican since Kennedy/Nixon ...

12:56 pm

they aren't here Mixi

12:57 pm

I always miss the mountain...lol

12:57 pm

No. Obama won Dixville Notch in 2008, does.

12:57 pm

Yay, Gary Johnson got two votes in Harts Landing. : D

12:57 pm

... missed that ... maybe I was just so accustomed to the 9-0 votes being announced at 12:05 a.m.

12:58 pm

itll be fun to see how many votes roseanne barr got

12:58 pm

I'm very interested to see how many people vote for neither of the two main candidates.

12:58 pm

Fun fact: No Republican has ever won the Presidency if they got under 80% of the vote in Dixville Notch. Romney got 50%.

12:59 pm

don't understand the polling of people that have just voted either -- I think Winston Churchill was on the right track when he said that the greatest argument against democracy was a 5 minute conversation with the average voter

1:00 pm

Not sure I understand that quote.

1:01 pm

he6/24 plase? (the first)

1:01 pm

that was a long two hours in line, for me

1:01 pm

oooh -- the red bar of doom -- think JT is a republican in PA?

1:01 pm

Fireplace Cos

1:01 pm

... fire place ... or just in front of the fireplace

1:03 pm

Molly - he was saying that the average voter did not understand the issues and that it was frightening to think that these people were determining the course of the nation

1:03 pm

tyvm for he6

1:04 pm

anyone found that other en 7 yet?

1:04 pm

I was in line to vote with a teacher. He said last presidential election, he gave the class just the platforms and not the names of the candidates. After voting, 3/4 of the students who said they had voted for Obama had really voted for McCain, based on platform.

1:05 pm

they voted Obama because theyre kids and theysee him as president. IMHO

1:06 pm

en 7 - to hold spellbound, captivated

1:07 pm

Spelled wrong

1:07 pm

... yeah ... I thought it had a double consonnent too

1:07 pm

... seems the grid will accept both

1:08 pm

... hmmmmm

1:08 pm

The point of the story is that the kids SAID they were for Obama, but when voting on issues (not knowing whose they were) they voted McCain.

1:08 pm

en-ch5 is not accepted

1:08 pm

You would have to use the N twice for that.

1:08 pm

... noticed that one too ... no idea why that happened ...

1:09 pm

ty molly

1:09 pm

... silly me ... of course you're right

1:09 pm

Right Molly. They said Obama just because he's POTUS. Too young to tell difference between issues and stature of person running.

1:10 pm

first he 7, please?

1:10 pm

This was last election Cos. He wasn't president then.

1:10 pm

it was the last election BEFORE Obama was POTUS

1:10 pm

Wow. Brain fart lol

1:10 pm

... first I've got is ... to add he5

1:11 pm

... but I just phone "ear phones"

1:12 pm

he 7/36 -- comes between noggins and make well

1:12 pm

se6 please?

1:13 pm

se6--part of a circle

1:13 pm

It's like the Howard Stern interviews where he talked to people voting for Obama and they had no clue where he stood in the issues.

1:13 pm

... lilne drawn across a circle which isn't a diameter

1:13 pm

tyvm

1:14 pm

... or inverse of "cosine" ... ... both math definitions of the term

1:16 pm

<---Pities the non-math geniuses staring blankly at their screens

1:16 pm

... se + not able to

1:17 pm

nan - he 7/36 - compound word - HE 4 + place plates, silverware on table

1:17 pm

he 5/14 following the moors?

1:19 pm

ty teach

1:19 pm

Means...for this reason

1:19 pm

The he5/14

1:19 pm

ty again

1:19 pm

sorry for missing the earphones bit -- having trouble sorting the clues from the chat!

1:20 pm

He was always dropping things, he5 the label "clumsy".

1:20 pm

Hi all!

1:20 pm

th6/30 ?

1:21 pm

hi sue

th 6/30 th + rant and ****

1:21 pm

Hi nan, cos, Molly

1:21 pm

th + rant's partner

1:21 pm

never mind!

1:22 pm

ty anyway nan :) hi sue!

1:22 pm

<---Didn't fall for it. *smug*

1:23 pm

oh fun fact: we may have our first black female member of congress tonight from Utah.

1:24 pm

Republican, right, cos?

1:25 pm

Yes sorry forgot to add Republican.. yeah its progress that we finally get a black female GOP member from congress. too bad she sucks on the issues :P

1:25 pm

*in, not from

1:26 pm

What about Carole Mosely-Braun?

1:26 pm

Oh we'll, it's still progress of a sort

1:26 pm

she was a Democrat Molly

1:27 pm

i have a pic of me with sen. moseley-braun somewhere i met her when i went to minneapolis for the netroots nation convention

1:27 pm

Yes, that's why I said republican. I think Mosely-Braun is still the only black female senator

1:27 pm

Sorry, typed that before it was clarified.

1:27 pm

my parents voted for her for Mayor last year

1:28 pm

te 6-7 combo?

1:28 pm

te6: number + playing card, then pl

1:29 pm

As great as these landmarks are, I would love to get away from people being tagged "black" and "female" because it promotes one issue voting.

1:29 pm

ty cos

1:29 pm

Yes, I would love to live in a society where things like that didn't matter

1:29 pm

Once women represent 53% of Congress I'll be satisfied.

1:30 pm

*Wonders how many good old boys will have to be replaced before that happens*

1:30 pm

Be nice if they represented more than 10% of physics faculty, too

1:32 pm

wr6 the first please?

1:33 pm

Anyway, we talked to a surgeon this morning, looks like Frank will be having surgery pretty soon

1:33 pm

Considering that the Democrats refused to nominate the "qualified" candidate last election, we are a long way from that. Sad.

1:33 pm

ghostly person (wr 6)

1:34 pm

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

1:34 pm

tyvm nan

1:34 pm

Yay nan!

1:34 pm

1:35 pm

Wow Nan!

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

Congrats, Nan and Cosdem.

1:37 pm

Did I actually see Jilly logged in here from Hawaii?

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

1:38 pm

I know that. I was just surprised to see her logged in here while she's there.

1:39 pm

Don't lose your wallet tonight Cos. : P

1:40 pm

^5 cos

1:40 pm

any clues wanted before I leave?

1:40 pm

lol i decided to go to a friends house for a party. he has 5 flat screens in his basement so we'll have all the major networks on and drink from keg, grill out

1:41 pm

Hi zoozzoom!

1:41 pm

Think I'm going to turn the TV off and read -- just get angry watching all the election shenannigans

1:42 pm

bye all :) See you at the flip ...

1:42 pm

Bye nan!

1:43 pm

Hello, Uusue :-)

1:43 pm

Until I played this game, I had no idea how involved people in other countries are in our politics.

1:44 pm

Well, what we do has worldwide ramifications.

1:54 pm

morning everyone

1:55 pm

Hi lynxxx!

1:55 pm

Hello, Lynxxx

1:55 pm

hi Sue. Did Frank manage to see our horse race?

1:55 pm

hi Zooz!

1:56 pm

No, we were kind of busy processing bad medical news. I told him about it, though.

1:57 pm

By the way, the voting problem that Cos mentioned is a touch screen issue and not the result of voting fraud.

1:58 pm

Still a concern if valid votes are not being recorded and there isn't any way to double check

1:58 pm

so - surgery I see - bet he is hoping that is ASAP. Can they tell him anything else now or will they see how he comes up after surgery?

1:59 pm

They think the prognosis is good, but he will need chemotherapy, and they won't know the full extent until they go in there.

2:00 pm

Well, it's up to the voter to make sure that their vote is tabulated correctly (ie the right choice is highlighted). And since this is not being reported as a wide spread problem, I think the voting results will be accurate.

2:01 pm

Well, that's good, Molly. I hadn't read what the specific issue was but do have general concerns about electronic voting.

2:01 pm

That sounds great Sue...though chemo is wearing. No radiotherapy (my favorite! reckon it saved my life)

2:01 pm

Probably not, usually it isn't useful for intestinal cancers

2:03 pm

mine was used on lymph glands in abdomin - twice though obviously in different areas

2:04 pm

Ah,well, we don't know anything about the lymph glands yet, so that may still be a possibility

2:05 pm

And you've recovered well? (I'm looking for success stories I can share with Frank)

2:08 pm

a 3 year battle at the time - but nothing for the last 11 years. I was down to a 5% chance of surviving. I was very very lucky and had amazing surgeon, radiologist and melanoma specialist/leading researcher all looking after me. Minor permanent side effect.

2:10 pm

Mind you, I did continue working throughout at fairly onerous job - except for during 3 lots of surgery and when I was intensive course of chemo (you get 'chemo' head).

2:14 pm

Tell him to just go with the flow, now that they have found out what it is they will look after the pain for him, from now on he will just be in discomfort. They make advances in knowledge everyday. He has everything to look forward to

2:19 pm

It is amazing what the boy can endure...great to know you have now been clear for a long time now.

2:19 pm

body sorry.

2:21 pm

My specialist doesn't even want to see me anymore (sob)..I feel as though I have lost a friend lol

2:22 pm

LOL....Bless you.

2:25 pm

Ok i have finished....time to go...take, Lynxxx and all stealth babblers.

2:25 pm

congrats Zooz, lovely to see you again, have a good evening

2:26 pm

Will do..and you..*poof*

2:30 pm

Thanks, lynxxx! Sorry had to do other things for a bit.

2:31 pm

thats OK ..

2:45 pm

quiet here.

2:46 pm

probably everyones finished - or voting?

2:47 pm

or watching the voting results?

2:47 pm

there won't be results awhile yet, they wait til the polls close in any given state before reporting projections and it's not yet 4 eastern time

2:48 pm

the words are so obvious after you list

2:48 pm

even the P's?

2:48 pm

ps

2:49 pm

ah thanks

2:49 pm

... there's two of them ... they both look like plurals ...

2:49 pm

yep i know got em :)

2:49 pm

hi Dos

2:50 pm

ok, 90%, now listing

2:50 pm

... evening lynxxx

2:50 pm

2:51 pm

Hi dos and hurshy!

2:52 pm

h'lo sue

2:53 pm

hi all

2:53 pm

Hi peri!

2:53 pm

anyone have the en7 that isn't the plural of the 6?

2:54 pm

rats I want my Barbados flag to show up

2:54 pm

I don't, hurshy

2:54 pm

en7 to captivate or engross

2:54 pm

engross - is that the right spelling? looks wrong

2:55 pm

like en + ch5? that isn't here

2:55 pm

... you're probably trying to spell it as an en8 with a double consonant at the end ... well the grid will take only one consonant too

2:55 pm

engross is fine i think

2:55 pm

th is used a lot in this grid

2:55 pm

Ok, I am now from Australia. would really like to visit there someday

2:55 pm

... means ... to fascinate or almost hypnotize

2:56 pm

and we would like to have you come Peri

2:56 pm

I'll go with you, peri!

2:56 pm

ok,that would be fun, sue. after Frank is all better

2:56 pm

ty lynn

2:56 pm

i think i need another clue if possible, i am only thinking of en + ch5, which doesn't work cause there is only one N

2:57 pm

let me THink

2:57 pm

oooh thanks

2:57 pm

got it

2:57 pm

Ha, me too

2:59 pm

hurshy. how is your husband, did the results come back?

2:59 pm

nice hint lynxxx, hi to all in babble -onia

2:59 pm

turnout strong in NJ/NY/Sandy areas. (for Molly who wondered how sandy would affect elections) but then again maybe more repubs turn out. we'll see. just wanted to let u know molly if ur here :)

3:01 pm

hi peri, no results yet. they had to push back his appt yet again because the doc was so backed up people were waiting for 6 hours in his waiting room!

3:01 pm

we5.22 - no def, new word for me, sounds germanic

3:02 pm

Thanks Cos. From what I've read, voter turn out is pretty good everywhere.

3:02 pm

i think his new appt is friday... but i have given up keeping track, starting to assume it will get moved again and again

3:02 pm

I hope not hurshy. is your husband patient. I am not

3:03 pm

he is patient about this, externally. not totally sure how he feels if/when he thinks of it and doesn't mention that he's thinking of it.

3:04 pm

well, I do hope that the results are good, espec. after the long wait

3:05 pm

thanks

3:05 pm

stuck with 80 left

3:05 pm

3:06 pm

Evening al, back for the last 35

3:06 pm

hi Glant

3:06 pm

Hi Lyn

3:06 pm

any clues wanted b4 I get going

3:07 pm

he7?

3:07 pm

either one :-)

3:08 pm

we5/22 is some kind of tool used for processing grain. No clue what language it is.

3:08 pm

Galnt..I was looking up something when you signed off last time. I wanted to recommend the work of Annamieke Mein, dutch-born textile artist.

3:09 pm

he7 you listens to music with them

3:09 pm

I will look her up Lyn

3:09 pm

*listen

3:09 pm

ty - we call them he**phones

3:09 pm

so do we

3:09 pm

so do we

3:11 pm

the other 2 he7...in front of fireplaces and to make more cheerful or give support to

3:11 pm

fabulous nature themed textiles - thanks for sharing

3:12 pm

stunning to see the real thing, photos don't give justice to them. Her books are good value

3:13 pm

there is a British embroiderer who does marvellous nature themed embroideries - some of her creaturs are embroidered organza - Jane somebody, will share the link when I remember

3:16 pm

I've remembered - she is Jane Hall - http://www.clothofnature.com/gallery.p\nhp

3:16 pm

actually Book depository has her book "The Art of Annemieke Mien" pretty cheap (LOVE Book Depository)

3:16 pm

I love BookDepository too LOL

3:19 pm

lovely work too - interesting to see some of it suspended

3:21 pm

I can't understand how Book Depository can send books to the other side of the world with no freight cost - NOT that I am complaining. It is far cheaper for us to buy an Australian book from the UK (no GST/VAT involved)

3:22 pm

Some of Jane's panels are 4 feet long and lots of the piece is dangling or floating

3:24 pm

Must get going - bye everyone

3:24 pm

bye Lyn

odd word, spelled similar to a fancy large boat

ty smores, and finished :)

4:18 pm

congrats Chrissie !!!

4:20 pm

clicked on the ? and of course "no dictionary results " definately a babbler...lol

4:20 pm

well I am off the fix dinner

4:20 pm

Bye Peri :)

ge, smores. try collins dictionary, its listed but not with a good description. found a pic of it in an online museum on the shetlands. it looks like an oversized tambourine without the cymbals, i looked it up this morning ...

also the sh4 can be found in collins, which doesnt get a result via '?'

4:36 pm

It's some kind of grain harvester.

not really a plate-äike drum to sort debris from the millstone from the grain or winnow the grain from spellts

debris from the flour of course

4:39 pm

That's what I said, a grain harvester.

sorry i thought 'harvesting' is just the process of getting the grain from the field and not the ongoing process- as non-native speaker sometimes have a gap in my vocab

heres the pic i found from the museum http://tinyurl.com/c723hem

4:44 pm

winnowing --- removing the grain from the chaff.

and 'spelts' is obviously i term i made up from german 'spelze' - i meant chaff

4:52 pm

Thanks for the picture, Shallow One. The article also refers to the we in the sense Collins does.

Now it's the waiting game. Media babble or real Babble?

4:56 pm

I am here for Babble stuff. Will go to a news site for the other stuff.

5:11 pm

is there any election news yet|? I don't think I'll sleep tonight

5:12 pm

There shouldn't be any concrete news until much later tonight. The polls are still open.

5:20 pm

do they announce Eastern results befor e West Coast polls close?

5:20 pm

earths

5:21 pm

sorry

5:23 pm

They start speculating on results as the polls start to close. Ruby, answer a question for me. How does who we elect president affect you, a person who lives in another country?

5:24 pm

I am still a US citizen, pay US taxes, have madicare, have relatives, and basically care a lot about women's rights

5:25 pm

Good for you, Ruby

5:25 pm

I hang an American flag in front of my house on the 4th of July. and celebrate Thanksgiving. Do you think I qualify?

5:26 pm

Ah okay. I need to ask someone who is none of those things then. It's not that I didn't think you qualified. I was just curious about the interest of people in other countries.

5:26 pm

You qualify ... for sure, Ruby.

5:26 pm

my neighbors are all very pro-Obama

5:27 pm

tenace

5:27 pm

sorry, very tired but trying to stay up

5:30 pm

\i actually feel less foreign here than I did in Pullman, Washington

5:31 pm

half and good night

5:32 pm

Good night, Nel.

5:33 pm

hi, folks

5:33 pm

Hello, welki.

5:46 pm

wooo! i'm losing it - heard this funny noise, sounded kind of spooky. d'oh - i have eggs boiling and they were rolling around in the pot

5:47 pm

No - hallowe'en was last week - but remember it for next year!!!

5:51 pm

hi, lizlin :)

5:51 pm

Good morning

5:52 pm

Glad you are ok, welki Hello, Lizlin

5:52 pm

Hi BR

5:53 pm

attack of the hard boiled eggs

5:54 pm

There, there Welki. The eggs are our friends. : D

5:55 pm

Hate it when looking for a word that I know ought to be there and is there but can't see it for looking!

5:56 pm

who hasn't drawn faces on hard boiled eggs so you can tell them from the un-boiled ones? (putting a penciled x on them is so pedestrian)

5:57 pm

me! I just spin them!!! Boring I know but I never was artistic!

6:02 pm

Any fires in your are, Lizlin. Lyn said the fires were out in her area.

6:02 pm

<---Has drawn faces : )

6:03 pm

No - not here. The fire risk is high at the moment though. It's unusual where I am that it hasn't rained much here so far this spring. We

6:03 pm

moving into the wet season now but a hot dry summer is predicted!

6:03 pm

Might try drawing faces next time. So much more creative!

6:04 pm

it was fun when the children were little

6:04 pm

evening all!

6:04 pm

Hello, I'm a newby. Lizlin showed me how to play and now I'm getting hooked!

6:04 pm

Hi Robbie - knew you'd like it!!!!!

6:05 pm

(and it's really easy to draw goatees on eggs - the curves are just right *lol*)

6:05 pm

hi robbie - welcome to babble

6:06 pm

Guess I'll never do housework again!

6:06 pm

Remind me not to come round then!!!!

6:06 pm

housework? what does that mean?

6:06 pm

shingling

6:07 pm

Good point! Too busy playing babble or walking on the beach!

6:07 pm

Hi 2Bit : )

6:07 pm

never had the shingles - hope i never do :)

6:07 pm

later, people - egg cooling time

6:07 pm

Robbie - forgot to tell you about fireworks - when people complete the grid you get fireworks (fw) displayed! You see people posting when they get fireworks

6:09 pm

IF you need help, just ask. People are very friendly here.

6:09 pm

Can't see that happening on my screen! Have only 48 words out of 177!

6:10 pm

Keep looking - they suddenly jump out at you. use lickety's list to help you out until you're used to it.

6:10 pm

I've got 59 more to find!

6:13 pm

Robbie - try looking for rhyming words, add plural endings

6:15 pm

Hi teach - good advice there - but I think Robbie's gone! I'm sure she'll be back though.

6:15 pm

At this point don't worry about the number of words, just enjoy the game and the chat

6:16 pm

hello liz - just starting back up for the evening after finishing dinner

6:16 pm

How's the atmosphere re the election?

6:17 pm

nobody's talking about it here, thank goodness! :)

6:17 pm

That's funny - we've just finished breakfast and I'm playing til we go out for a walk

6:17 pm

I suspect most of us are suffering from indigestion

6:17 pm

I think I'm with you nrkii! It gets overwhelming!

6:17 pm

we're not in to politics that much so trying to find some background music for the evening since TV is all about election results - even though most polls haven't even closed they are predicting winners

6:18 pm

My other half's so interested - in whichever country! I'm not so interested.

6:18 pm

don't think they should be allowed to predict results until all polls are closed so it doesn't influence voters

6:19 pm

He wants to know when they'll know the results

6:19 pm

Good point Teach.

6:19 pm

results are starting to come in from the first states now

6:19 pm

they're saying that it will be close and won't know until late tonight

6:20 pm

So in how many hours is that. It's 10.20 am here

6:20 pm

no earlier than 2PM, I'd guess

6:20 pm

more likely later

6:21 pm

It's 7:20 here and they are saying until 11 - 12 - so 4 or 5 more hours and even then many results will be unofficiaql

6:21 pm

ty

6:21 pm

all the time zones become so confusing

6:22 pm

yes, babble chat has helped me increase my awareness of it all

6:24 pm

I have family in London Canada and America - sometimes I have to add hours and sometimes subtract! I'm very sorted with London but less so with the US and Canada - where is babble time based?

6:24 pm

Central US I think.

6:24 pm

Not helpful for where my family is based!

6:26 pm

But I agree with teach that babble chat does help

6:27 pm

time in the chat log is the "US Central time Zone" which is just west of where i am so I always add one hour to what is listed in chat

6:28 pm

For me it's subtract 4 hours and go to yesterday or the other end of the day. I can understand people's confusion about lickety's dates

6:29 pm

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?

6:29 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Hooray!

6:29 pm

Hi Min - good to see you

6:29 pm

Hi Min : )

6:30 pm

Love the icon Min - made me laugh out loud!

6:31 pm

Thanks Lizlin.I'm just Sitting here wondering how many babblers wvte 5/14 put into the Penalty Box today.

6:31 pm

Lots probably - inlcuding me but it's hard because it's how you refer to someone

6:32 pm

And herself continually - every time the icon appears

6:32 pm

anyone have the second en 7?

6:32 pm

I am glad you said something about my icon.It reminded me to take out my old story of clues. I will be right back.

6:32 pm

Plural of the one above it! Or are there others?

6:33 pm

Oh yes - to capture someone in your spell - though I'd've spelt it with a double final consonant

6:33 pm

Ru, it's a word that means to spell bind, usually spelled with a double consonant at the end.

6:33 pm

lol Molly - thinking same way

6:34 pm

Apparently we now can al drop the bal and spell however we want.

6:34 pm

you mean spel

6:35 pm

you mean spel

6:35 pm

Or spel however we want

6:35 pm

Damn, you can't get anything by Liz

6:35 pm

Or Lurking Via

6:35 pm

helo al! doing another of my drive-byes

6:35 pm

Off to plant nasturtiums then to the beach. Back later :)

6:36 pm

nasturtiums sounds like a fake grid word to me...

6:36 pm

I wasn't lurking! I just got here!

6:37 pm

Poor Liz, such a tough life.

6:39 pm

Very tough! Enjoy your evening. Bye

6:42 pm

Goodbye Lizlin!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

6:52 pm

yes, I came back today... only 5 days of exile :)

6:52 pm

hi all! in my office for a bit, will head home soon

6:52 pm

nrkii, I talked to my dad in NJ today, he is still without power but they say maybe it will be back on tomorrow. Other than that he is doing fine.

6:53 pm

oh that's good, sue... where is he?

6:53 pm

Millington - he's on top of a hill so no water problems, thank goodness

6:53 pm

6:54 pm

6:54 pm

and hi, wv and peri!

6:54 pm

hi sue

6:54 pm

oh, I used to work right near there

6:54 pm

hello sue

6:55 pm

used to live in Fords, worked in Woodbridge, husband has masters from rutgers

6:55 pm

Hello perwinkle! How are you doing? Welcome to grid.

6:55 pm

ok, Min, how are you?

6:55 pm

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

6:56 pm

I was born in New Brunswick, lived in Plainfield until I was 10, then in Bernardsville

6:56 pm

I've only lived in NJ for last 9 years, but I love it. I'm very sad about what people are enduring here.

6:56 pm

I lived in Morristown before here (Lambertville)

6:57 pm

the area where my dad lives is very nice

6:58 pm

Ugh, 14 to go here, and as always, most of them are 6's

6:58 pm

I hate 6 letter words

6:58 pm

Forgot about all of our overlaps Sue - lived in Plainfield for 2 years, before moving to Fords

6:58 pm

that's right, I had forgotten too!

7:00 pm

Have my masters from what was Newark State College (now called Keane College)

7:00 pm

I am well periwinkle. Trying to finish,but have lots left

7:04 pm

ok, I finally have enough a's that I am not embarrassed. Time to go home. We are off to an election party (Frank is running for county board) - see you all tomorrow!

7:05 pm

Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.

7:05 pm

hope Frank is successful

7:05 pm

Oh boy, I just saw some early results. I hope Cos has a drink, or three.

7:11 pm

Molly, too early for anyone to rejoice or despair. But I may need a drink just to calm down.

7:12 pm

Oh I agree. And I have no vested interest in the outcome either way. I just know how nervy Cos gets about such things. : )

7:17 pm

was just watching Extreme Cheapskates, very interesting. a woman served friends food found in a dumpster. they ate very little.

7:18 pm

I also watched some of Extreme Couponing. I see no reason to have a year supply of cake mix for every member of your family or an 11 year supply of laundery detergent. Give some to a homeless shelter or to a food pantry.

7:18 pm

I don't get the coupon hoarders. I think they have some kind of disorder.

7:19 pm

they are usually well organized but my goodness why not share the wealth

7:19 pm

last te5/14 pls. my last word

7:20 pm

I'd be willing to check out some dumpster but they are all behind fences and gates around here

7:20 pm

te 5 - rhymes with what you sit on at the piano

7:20 pm

rhymes with Johnny Be***

7:20 pm

Ends like the Sunshine State, Peri.

7:20 pm

restaurants and markets do throw out a lot of decent food

7:21 pm

Oy, I clued the th5. Never mind.

7:21 pm

the only Johnny's I know are Depp and Cash

7:21 pm

Restaurants and markets should be donating that food.

7:22 pm

Peri, see Teach's clue.

7:22 pm

they should and some do. but the date says expired they are not allowed to. we are not allowed to give out expired food at the food pantry either

7:22 pm

Dame Judi De***

7:23 pm

fw here... need to go get some rolaids, or bourbon

7:23 pm

tyty got it but still have two words left

7:23 pm

happy babbling everyone

7:23 pm

Johnny Be5 was a famous baseball catcher.

7:23 pm

Anyone know how to contact Dr. God? The connection here and on IronSudoku both say "default mail client is not properly installed".

7:23 pm

that clue went right over my head.

7:24 pm

bye nrkii, go for the bourbon

7:24 pm

Sorry "is" a famous baseball catcher. He's still with us.

7:24 pm

7:40 pm

ty,ty

7:40 pm

Why does CHEAT work? Why does this word count. Cannot understand

7:41 pm

doh... it works because it is a word.. and China Girl is in the PB, hope some goodies are there too

7:42 pm

Hello ChinaGirl! How are you doing? Welcome to chog.

7:42 pm

but the words don't connect following the rules of the game? What is PB? Please. Thank you

7:42 pm

c...the h next to it...the e diagonally down from that h...the a diagonally down from that e...the t next to that a.

7:42 pm

P's Pummeled! 2 left

7:43 pm

Yes the letters do connect following the rules of the game. The PB is the penalty box for mentioning a grid word in the chat.

7:43 pm

Oh, China, the PB is the reknown Penalty Box.. thinking of FMitch at present, sniff

7:44 pm

Fiona

7:44 pm

go, Minver, go

7:44 pm

yes, BR.. I miss her terribly

7:44 pm

Oh No. I have different pattern because Molly L's don't match mine. Welcome to the FarSide.

7:46 pm

Wink, wink

7:49 pm

oh boy, China Girl.. hunker down in the PB, enjoy..

7:50 pm

I think that many people are in the PB tonight if they chatted with wvte5/14 today.You're not alone China

7:51 pm

Well, I'll really enjoy if someone could tell me if this has ever happened- can I give the letters from the grid and show you what I'm talking about. I'm holding a 6 ptr, 21 pt in my ready

7:52 pm

i guess i should have stocked it with all the leftover Halloween candy

7:53 pm

Go ahead, China Girl

China Girl... enter your word and give a clue if you think it is one that you wish to share, or if someone has asked for a clue to that word.

7:53 pm

S A C H T

7:54 pm

O E E V R

7:54 pm

but don't give the word

7:54 pm

YES BABBLE RABBLE!!!

7:54 pm

We're all playing the same grid ..

7:55 pm

horizontal, diagonal, up and down, etc.. all connected.

7:55 pm

And the CH word you mentioned connects exactly the way I said it does.

7:56 pm

Not exactly. Just all connected. You can go two across and one down diagonally, and one down from that diagonally, etc. as long as they all connect.

7:57 pm

Oh thank you MollyL !

7:57 pm

brb - am a bit befuddled and need to check election results

7:58 pm

Keep at it, China Girl .... you will figure it all out ... to the extent possible with Enable a factor

7:59 pm

Thank you Babble Rabble. Love it. Love it.

8:00 pm

Have you gone to Lickety's Babble Clues at the top of the third column in the Friends of Babble section?

8:00 pm

good evening, may i have a clue please for the he6 immediately after he***cliffe!

8:01 pm

sorry, just got it

8:01 pm

second column, sorry

8:02 pm

Hello, Dorens. Were you back in school today?

8:04 pm

hi babrab... was there yesterday. today we had off because of elections... I do wish they had changed their minds, since we already lost a week of instructional time.

8:05 pm

will be back there tomorrow.. nice to be there. sense of normalcy. I still have no power at my house, but the trees have been removed from m roof

8:08 pm

doggone it, big delay as I enter my words

8:10 pm

Dorens, so sorry for the trouble you have been enduring..

8:11 pm

Progress, no matter how small is good

8:41 pm

mentally disordered

8:41 pm

struggling to figger that out

8:46 pm

hello friends. trying to distract myself from watching election results....

8:46 pm

but am so distracted as I watch election returns

8:46 pm

how are you all?

8:47 pm

I would appreciate a nudge for the p in the left corner

8:47 pm

2 ps 5's Trif

8:48 pm

never mind....

8:48 pm

thanks for the psychic clue, molly!

8:48 pm

Every time you or Car says "Hello friends" it reminds me of the Vitameatavegamin commercial. : D

8:49 pm

that's who I was for Halloween!!!!

8:49 pm

hold on....I will put photo on my profile

8:49 pm

Hilarious!

8:50 pm

there you go....Im the one on the left

8:51 pm

though we look a little smudged

8:51 pm

Clever costume.

8:53 pm

thanks! I used an old pattern I found from the actual 50s, and although I followed the directions exactly, it still came out HUGE. it just fit strangely. I think it's the underwear being different now

8:53 pm

hi Trif.. in the same boat as you, can't tear myself away from the TV, but want to Babble too

8:54 pm

Did you wear the "smart hat" too?

8:54 pm

no, just the dress and apron and the glasses

8:54 pm

that is my friend on the right - she has lost over 70 pounds in the last year - I am SO proud of her!

8:55 pm

its an uncomfortable boat, aloy

8:55 pm

Are we on the same page here? I'm talking about Lucy in the Vitameatavegamin commercial.

8:55 pm

btws, aloy....I subbed in a 10th grade science class yesterday, and ATE IT in front of the whole class when I didn't see a plug on the floor, and went FLYING. Trust me, it was spectacular!

8:56 pm

I know, molly.

8:57 pm

Okay because she didn't wear an apron or glasses in that. I thought we were thinking of different things.

8:57 pm

I wasn't really aiming for that particular episode...just Lucy in her lovely usual iconic self

8:58 pm

phantom: literal

8:58 pm

Ah, I get it now.

8:59 pm

ooh, Trif.. are you OK?

9:01 pm

actually, not really. I mashed my knee, and bent my wrist in some very new ways, but I was NOT going to admit that in front of a class full of sophomores!

9:01 pm

ouch, so sorry! was it a biology class?

9:01 pm

but it was very, very funny1

9:01 pm

if you were bruised you could say you attended cord en Bleu

9:01 pm

if you were bruised you could say you attended cord en Bleu

9:02 pm

very cute ruru!

9:02 pm

hi ruru

9:02 pm

hi aloy

9:02 pm

going to the pantry, seeking some popcorn.. hope we have some

9:03 pm

Hi all!

9:03 pm

hi cos

9:03 pm

the west better pick things up huh?

9:09 pm

im feeling very confident now

9:10 pm

dems picked up senate seats in MA, IN and retained MO.

9:21 pm

Hello cosdem!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:30 pm

Heyas again Min and all ..

9:33 pm

You fellow Democrats should be glad you don't live in Arizona----George Wallace could have won here.

9:35 pm

than

9:39 pm

no popcorn, rats..

9:42 pm

I have some Aloy. You made me go look when you mentioned it. I will put some in the PB

9:42 pm

ty so much, Bugsaw

9:46 pm

Frank has been elected to the county board!

9:46 pm

And hi all!

9:47 pm

YAY Frank! That must make him feel better

9:47 pm

hi usue, and yay for Frank's election!

9:47 pm

He is needed here!

9:47 pm

Yes, he is having a fine time tonight.

9:49 pm

I am sorry to read about the other news tho. This success couldn't have come at a better time for him

9:50 pm

Indeed, bugs. Will keep you all posted on the not so good news as it develops.

9:50 pm

agree with Bugsaw.. hope this helps lift his spirits and speed his recovery

9:50 pm

congrats Frank!!!!

9:52 pm

Cos, the democrats won all three county-wide races here. We are happy.

9:54 pm

tell Frank congratulations!!!!

9:54 pm

My hubby retired this 12/31/2011 from the county board after 42 years in elected public life.

9:55 pm

Will do, thanks snags!

9:55 pm

expect lots of phone calls during the next several years !!! :))))))))))))

9:56 pm

I'll bet!

9:56 pm

Democrats have retained the Senate. Just called VA for tim kaine

9:56 pm

He will spend more time on the phone then you do, so tell him to get well and back on his feet !!!!!!!!!!

9:56 pm

and did you just laugh at them snags, as per your icon?

9:57 pm

lol Life is a hoot............. and I am having a ball. :)

9:58 pm

This will give him some needed energy and purpose.

9:58 pm

exactly.............

10:00 pm

exactly,people need to be needed to feed their energy to fight

10:00 pm

you are wise Bug............

10:03 pm

thanks snags. worked in Hospice for years and was constantly suprised by how people altered their own outcomes

10:06 pm

Canadian news is projecting that Obama will "most likely" win tonight.

10:06 pm

am so upset, watching the news, by how so many had such a hard time trying to vote... not right!

10:08 pm

agree with you Bug. In June, I had a ct scan on my lungs, it can back abnormal. I wasn't worried though, just my nature, the second one came back fine. Had a mamogram in October, came back questionable.

10:08 pm

I have to agree Aloy. I don't understand the American system that allows the states more rights on how they will hold a national election. I think the nation should have the same rules. but, I am Canadian so my opinion is not worth much

10:08 pm

Second mamogram followed by a mri showed things ok............ again didn't worry!!!!!!!!!

10:09 pm

so glad things worked out so well for you snags. two scares is tuff

10:10 pm

as I said, I didn't worry, my hubby did enough for both of us. I told him I don't worry until there is a real reason, that is just me!!!

10:10 pm

and thank you Bug.

10:11 pm

love and hugs to you and to Frank

10:12 pm

:)

10:12 pm

...and to anyone else who is struggling

10:15 pm

Obama re-elected .

10:19 pm

is it true? my ding dong phone rang and I was called away..

10:20 pm

four more years! all networks now calling it for obama. even fox

10:21 pm

Apparently

10:21 pm

I hope things continue to get better for your nation.

10:22 pm

We can always move nearer to you Bugsaw!

10:24 pm

((((((((Everyone)))))))) *relurk*

10:24 pm

I need to use the relurk button more often Stid. ;)

10:24 pm

Hi all - quick visit before heading out to the gym.

10:27 pm

omg... I fervently hope for an end to the divisive (is that a word?) state of our congress, so self-destructive and non-productive.. oh wow, I guess I can concentrate on the grid now. howdy stid

10:31 pm

actually status quo. dems keep senate, reps get house, obama is prez

10:34 pm

Maybe since they've failed in their mission to oust Obama, they'll go back to not sacrificing the American people to their political ambitions ... Nah, probably not ..

10:37 pm

hi all

10:40 pm

Extremely sad day for America. A man with a mandate destroys the economy in the first four years. A man with a mandate cannot work with Congress. Now he is a lame duck with no mandate. 20-22 trillion in national debt is a realistic possibility.

10:49 pm

Apparently, the majority of Americans are perfectly content with a President who has done nothing in 4 years. Not sure what that says about us as a country.

10:54 pm

Hi all -- just looking in to see the reactions! Perhaps now the good ol' boys on the Repub. side of Congress will wake up and smell the roses.

10:54 pm

amazing news: http://alturl.com/srdd4

10:56 pm

It's about time.

10:56 pm

they will wake up and smell the same pile of crap they've been smelling for the next four years. I don't know how it will be possible, but this congress will do LESS than what has been done in the last two years, and by my estimation that is nothing.

10:56 pm

haha, cos!

10:57 pm

washington state also voted to legalize it tonight

10:57 pm

glad to see Obama got all the electoral votes in... Canada

10:58 pm

For your sake I hope you are wrong Knight, but I'm afraid that Romney's offer for a co-operative position in Congress was good only in the event that he won.

10:58 pm

Just what the country needs - more potheads. We certainly are making progress.

10:59 pm

Molly, you haven't ben paying as much attention as we Canadians have. Obama has achieved a lot of good things. I am now not going to say anything more, other than the fact that most of the world was in favour of Obama.

10:59 pm

Want to go back to prohibition, Knight? -- that wasn't very successful, was it?

10:59 pm

regulate pot like alcohol will bring in a lot more money for the state

10:59 pm

I voted yes.

11:00 pm

Absolutely Cybernan, just don't take my $100 bottle of chardonay

11:00 pm

well said, jill

11:00 pm

Jilli, I live here in America and I have been paying a lot of attention to what Obama "hasn't" done. And with all due respect, the "rest of the world" doesn't live here and have to deal with the consequences.

11:01 pm

Thanks, nan, and now I shall leave until after the flip, at least.

11:01 pm

There you are incorrect, Molly -- whatever the US does certainly affects us.

11:01 pm

bye, jilli

11:02 pm

perhaps obama can annex Canada?

11:02 pm

Wow, seriously? Canadians pay more attention to what our President does or doesn't do than Americans?

11:02 pm

no thanks -- I like the parliamentary system, our education programs and our healthcare

11:03 pm

And btw, Mollu, I went to school in NYC and loved there for many years as did many of my family -- I still have many US relatives and close friends I keep in touch with.

11:04 pm

lol. "loved" there is indeed accurate, although I meant to write "lived" there.

11:04 pm

I made a business trip to Canada several times

11:04 pm

Toronto is beautiful

11:04 pm

*poof

11:05 pm

Kind of the way my 7 pound cat pays more attention to where the 70 pound dog's feet go than the dog does, Molly. If that makes any sense.

11:05 pm

I married a Canadian. However, I wouldn't insult Canadians by speculating on their government or their choice of elected officials.

11:05 pm

you got it, sue!

11:06 pm

Sorry Sue, that doesn't make sense at all. But I will leave you Obama lovers to revel in your victory.

11:06 pm

most Americans don't even know what the capital of the country is, never mind anything about our government

11:06 pm

So the demise of the American economy and a 16 trillion dollar debt is good for Canada?

11:06 pm

Glad we could help

11:07 pm

I think you are taking a very narrow minded view of things knight

11:07 pm

Pure fantasy IMHO.

11:07 pm

not to impinge on the political debates, but could someone share the stats for the i in the bottom row? thanks.

11:08 pm

Yes, 16 trillion in debt is nothing to worry about. 2% growth is outstanding. Please pass a joint to me, I need another hit

11:08 pm

Ir5/10, jes

11:08 pm

iz 4/9

11:08 pm

iz4, jes..

11:08 pm

ir5/10 and iz4/9

11:09 pm

thanks, that's NBT :)

11:09 pm

grats, jes :)

11:09 pm

Knight, I think you are forgetting that it was Republican led governments that put your country so far into debt to begin with

11:10 pm

on my way -- back at the flip :)

11:10 pm

Bye nan!

11:10 pm

Yeah, i forgot. THat darn George Bush - what a loser. It's good he's there to blame

11:11 pm

g'night nan :)

11:12 pm

debt when obama took office = 5 trillion, debt now - 16 trillion. Bush is more powerful than I thought.

11:12 pm

half way

11:13 pm

and that's all for me tonight. sleep well when ya'll get there.

11:13 pm

Night jes!

11:14 pm

sweet dreams, jes

11:16 pm

In physics terms, knight, you are looking at two positions and assuming that the initial speed and acceleration were zero. Then the second position is due entirely to things that happened after the first. But the velocity and acceleration weren't zero, and you can't ignore that.

11:17 pm

Maryland just voted to legalize marriage equality.

11:17 pm

Great, Sue. I would give all my money to back a physicists for president. Will you run?

11:17 pm

It looked to me like all four marriage equality votes were on the way to passing, cos

11:18 pm

maine will win too. very close in WA and MN

11:18 pm

plus, could you provide me a study that shows that economics works according to the laws of physics?

11:18 pm

Well, I think the country would be better served if it were run by scientists than by lawyers. But I am not running.

11:19 pm

I don't much care about debt, the government did what it had to in order to support "peace keeping" missions already begun by Bush... that stuff's expensive. Could have just pulled out all the troops instead, then tried to find them jobs here, probably without much luck, and gotten negative flack over that, too. oops, is that too radical a viewpoint?

11:19 pm

However, my former colleague, Bill Foster, did win.

11:19 pm

Agreed Sue.

11:20 pm

I don';t care about debt either, I don't have any.

11:20 pm

Maine passes mariage equality, washington legalizes marijuana like colorado did

11:20 pm

yayayayyayayayayyayayayyayayayyayayaya\ny

11:21 pm

Personally I am not even convinced that economics works according to the laws of economics, at least as they are currently described

11:21 pm

agreed sue

11:21 pm

i just got back from richmond va and 17 hours at the polls!

11:21 pm

And what jmc said :-)

11:21 pm

i was trying to find a giant emoticon with a shit eating grin

11:22 pm

just use obama's picture - same thing

11:22 pm

would much rather have a mellow black dude in charge than an anal flip-flopping right wing extremist from the Mormon church - but that's just me. but that's because at the moment he's the lesser of the two evils, imho, sigh...

11:22 pm

Do you even read anything not approved by Rupert Murcock, Knight?

11:23 pm

Ok, time to go home, see you all later!

11:23 pm

lol sallyds

11:23 pm

het

11:23 pm

no sally, i am a toothless redneck hillbilly what caint read

11:24 pm

bye, uusue.. tc

11:24 pm

I didn't suggest you couldn't read I asked if you read anything other than biased material?

11:25 pm

hey, so am I, knight! except for the not reading part, lol

11:25 pm

I didn't know that Rupert Murdock was a writer?

11:25 pm

bye uu hugs and kisses

11:26 pm

All writing is biased.

11:26 pm

i agree that all writing has a bias but that is not quite the same thing. . .

11:28 pm

I am saddened by the partisan baiting and negative comments on babble tonight. There was a time when we maintained a respect for other's opinions here, and did not demean those with different ideas. I am very disappointed in this former welcoming and safe place for people who love words and word games. Debating topics does not require putting other people down. *stern mama look*

11:29 pm

maybe i am only seeing what i want to see but i am only seeing good natured ribbing. . .

11:30 pm

cue the violins

11:30 pm

I don't see anything partisan, either. but I haven't read back all that far.

11:30 pm

your organization sounds intriguing jmcnrick

11:31 pm

ty knight. . . now that the election is over maybe i will have the time i need to get it really going. . .webpage is up but more work needs to be done

11:31 pm

hi all

11:31 pm

It is going to take that type of thinking to get this country back on track

11:32 pm

stats for the P for nbt

11:32 pm

ps5/12 x2

11:33 pm

i have very definate political beliefs but i think the place where we have to put our efforts is to the changes that are nonpartisan such as redisticting and campaign fiance reform so we can work together without agreeing

11:33 pm

Wish someone would tell Romney the election is over

11:33 pm

ty smores

11:33 pm

Oh for God's sake, this is not a "former welcoming and safe place". It's still both of those. People have a right to express their opinion, even if it doesn't jive with the "majority rule" here.

11:34 pm

give it time smores. . . . give it time

11:34 pm

yw jmc

11:34 pm

hi molls

11:34 pm

thanks for letting me be my giddy self!

11:34 pm

*bounce bounce bounce*

11:35 pm

<===wonders if it were a mistake to drink coffee on drive home from Richmond

11:35 pm

whew, over half, happy with that. see y'all after the flip. (oh, and I personally think a bit of tussling makes this place much more interesting.)

11:35 pm

lol jmc

11:35 pm

Good night all - God bless Obama and this wonderful country. I survived the last four years, I will survive the next.

11:35 pm

11:35 pm

No mistake. You got home safe, albeit hyper.

11:35 pm

11:36 pm

11:37 pm

11:37 pm

*bouncity bouncity bouncity*

11:38 pm

nbt

11:38 pm

I'm glad for the people who are happy about the election results. I understand why other people are dismayed by that. We are all grown ups here. And it's not likely that we are going to sit around singing Kumbayah on election night. : P

11:39 pm

11:39 pm

Oh yeah, I need to go announce it on Facebook first ..

11:48 pm

11:48 pm

11:55 pm

but he said no, no it was all right. we went out to dinner that friday night and the date was over when i went to Meeting on Sunday

11:56 pm

sometime later he told me he first fell in love with me when we were standing in the hall because i didn't we** a bra and my shirt had fallen open. . . he said he fell in love with my right boob. . .and he didn't want to move because he was afraid my shirt would straighten up and he'd lose his view. . .

11:57 pm
