Wow, Dr God sure is teasing us with small grids

Does anyone here see my new icon?
Nothing much has changed here Jillibus, we tend to keep all the old Halls and such properties as they were. Makes it easier to trace families.

Hello everyone
Hi all - grid a bit bigger today!
Hi, anike! WTG!
Hi, Liz.
Yay anike :)
wtg anike
hi again Liz
Dee, Eating everywhere can be yummy! Travelling can be a culinary delight, if you are not too rigid to try new things.
I am now going to finish all my cards - late again!!
Very true, ARB. I am moderately flexible, regarding tasting new foods.
Not late, Anike; it's still 2012! :)
Found that me 4 / 10 easily. Love that style of eating
one s and 8 c's to go
Bye everyone - happy babbling. Ha!Ha Dee
Fantastic Israeli veggie restaurant not far from here - speciallises in that sort of dish!
Sounds great, Liz. Have you ever dined there?
Bye, anike.
wow...I'm stuck
How many left, ru?
22
Often, Dee - one of our fav places! First time I went there, I almost felt I was back in London!
Israeli means middle-east, i.e. mixture of Greek, Turkish, Arabic, and a little eastern European "jewish" food!
37 left here and sleepy.
FWs
brb
I guess that would cover it, ARB - there's quite a large israeli community not far from here.
Yay Diz :)
Sounds lovely; would enjoy trying a place like that. I do love Greek food.
wtg diz!
17 now...but i'm desperate...lol
I can't believe netflix doesn't have more Christmas movies on streaming...
some twisty words in this one - almost go in a circle..
I can't believe that the president of netflix still has a job
Totally agree with that.
he shudda run the twinkie factory
Makes me sad to see the twinkie factory close after all of these years...
no me
not me.. but maybe for the workers who got screwed
workers, local economy, etc
yes..that's the biggest drag
i knew that company didn't have a snowball's chance in hell
ch 6 x3, co 6 x3 -- any other c 6's?
LOL... I remember snowballs in my lunch.
I used to make those dee
No way.
I worked for Hostess while in college in SF
I made millions of twinkies
Wow, super interesting!
no... I'm afraid it isn't
I was a ding dong for working there too long
I honestly didn't consider other sites, other than the one near Chicago. How many people were displaced when they closed then?
Is anybody other than MissO seeing my new Xmas icon? I've restarted the computer, shut down Babble twice, and still see my face unless I click on Edit in my account!
LOL
Now I can see it, Jili.
Well, good, dee. I wonder why I can't!
11 and really stuck
I see your face jilli
I don't see a christmas icon
This is weird.
Well, maybe tomorrw!
nothing wrong with your face icon
It shows here as a wreath on a black background.
i just don't see any more words
I see your face in chatterbox, but see the wreath if I click on your space jillibus.
Ah -- it's a .gif and there should be sparkly lights if you click on it
ty skiz
aww that's cute jilli
Well, I am off to be geeky and watch "The Search for Santa Paws." Have a great eve / day all!
so how did you get to see it, ruru?
I just started playing this two nights ago, would you tell me what nbs and nbt stand for?
If i click on you I can see it
night dee..
I refreshed, and now I see your wreath Jill:)
nbs = No Blank Stats. nbt= No Blank Tiles
Hugs all!
Jllibus, your christmas icon is showing here OK. It's good!
*!*~*!* ta da *!*~*!*
That's good to know, Alta -- I've refreshed too but still don't get it! Maybe because I'm using an old IE just for Babble. Wish I could switch it to Firefox.
YAY nan!!!
fireworks! yay.....
wtg Alta
it took my new icon a couple of days to show up in the chat, jill
oh and nan
I'll keep hoping, nan!
YAY Alta too!
going to crash - have the carpet cleaners coming tomorrow morning so it will be a busy day!
gnight nan -- I'll be leaving soon too
jill - did you try loading it by going directly to playbabble.com?
good night everyone :)
Before you go jilli - have I got it right nbt means you have at least one word for each letter and nbs one of each word stats?
yes, that's righ skiz - I think julli's gone.
I'm out too, night all!
Oh, okay thank you. Everytime some one has written it in it has been driving me crazy at to what they are talking about!
lol skiz, took me a while to figure it out too! was scratching my head for a ling time:)
personally I shoot for agt
you got it, skiz
I'll bite what is agt?
scared to ask...agt??

(((hugs))) *scatters choclits* *leaves cookies in PB and dashes for the exit* teaching again tomorrow, catch up with you-all soon, and welcome to the madness, skiz! *poof*
lolol

that was a drive by shooting
nbt, nbs!
ok, anyone need a clue before I poof?
hi roses, wd
Hey - I know what Roses is talking about, but what is PB?
i'm stuck on the c's
and two s's
one s
now just some c's
got the sm 4/6 and sm 6/24?
I have ch 5, 6, and 5 off that lower c and can't find the 4th
the PB is the penalty box skiz.....if you inadvertantly type one of the grid words in chat, which we've all done!
skiz the PB is a virtual Penalty Box that we go in if we type a word from the grid in the chog. We usually take food and drinks hoping others will join us.
ruru Lickety says there is a cw
I have that one
not me but I just got half way so I peeked
Oh, thanks - than it's a spot I don't want to be! But Chocolate sounded so good!
I haven't been in the virtual sin bin in ages.
ch 5/16 and ch 6/27 Ru? there are 2 sets of those
isn't that osama's sister miss omnibus?
sin bin laden
I tend to lurk a lot at first because I am not sure what words are in the grid ;)
lol ru ru!
so many words I've never heard of in this game.Have never finished a grid w/o listing yet.

geraniums are wonderful. pelargoniums too.

Hi Miss O and everyone
I like the smaller grids---make me feel a little less inept than the big ones!
could i please get a clue for the cw please... ive been trying to work this word out for forever
Or maybe I should feel even more inadequate since I still can't get them all!
i don't mind the ones in the mid 100s but under 100 and i feel deprived
Still can't figure out which s I am missing. One said so5 a plural of an so, but that doesn't seem to work and the other said st4/8 which I have. Help please?
I like really large grids where I can just find word after word so easily
There are two so 4/5 .... add an s to the second
:(

Great I am Jewish so I have all day for a big grid?

Just sent the Pope a Tweet...how unreal is that? :)
lol,what did you ask him?
I thanked him for starting to tweet.
lol a custom i-pope
do you think he'll get many followers ;)
I know! He just started today. I think it's awesome.
i just join the masses yesterday and am trying to learn to use my very first smart phone
it is a learning curve
Yes, I know. I have a Blackberry, and I'm ditching it January 8th for a Galaxy. That's going to be a curve too. What did you get?
Good Enough, he already has few hundred thousand, I think I heard...
they were free so even though we do not care for apple products as a rule we got a his and her plan with the i-phone 4-s
Good morning all. I see our Babble word diet continues.
yes,starvation rations again judi
I just did that for my hubby, as he had a free one as well. I don't know that he can manage, but we're going to give it a go!
2 free i-phone 4 s phone free set up,just the 3 year commitment on the plan
However, since I'll be paying for an upgrade, I'm going anti-Apple. Feel the same way you do!
My challenge will be going to a virtual keyboard. I text a LOT, since I'm on the road so much.
anytime local,unlimited text the mrs and i can call each other number anywhere world wide for free and 2 gig shared data
the touch pad kb is very nice,but yes a learning curve
You'll enjoy it, once you're more comfortable with it, I'm sure. You'll be giving tutorials before we know it!
sadly canada does not offer the nice ulimited data plans that the u.s does
we have the triad monopoly of rogers/bell/telus and they use a tight leash
though we do get free you tube streaming for one year of the three year plan
Ooooh...you'll see all kinds of weird stuff!
anyone of you who has an i phone..how can i track my data usage accuratly on this thing?
i have tried a few apps but noe seem to work too well
Good Morning Everybody. How are you all on this nice December day?
Hiya, Nef. It is a loverly day, isn't it?
it is so special i can hardly stand it:/. have a nice oncology appt today.bloodwork,x-rays dr appt
We don't have sun yet; pretty cloudy here this AM, but 24 (F) and promising to get above freezing! :-)
(((crossy))) good luck
ty nef;)
Ah, Mr. Pin Cushion.
Crossy, I have never tracked my data on my Iphone. I just assume Big Brother is doing it for me. :-p
they do,i just do not want to go over while figuring this thing out and pay 2 bux a meg for overage
my Samsung Galaxy has a tracker under the system section. Have you looked there?
i shall check there nef
I don't really care who tracks my data useage. They'd be bored to death looking at what I look at.
i just do not want a 100 dollar penatly in my bill next month
for going over my monthly allotment
i do not care if they look at what i am surfing either just each phone has 1 gig of data..thats it for the month
Ah. I see. Well, limit your surfing, block "premium" texts and just use it primarily for calls.
what are "premium" texts?
Premium texts are texts that you get from nerfarious advertisers. Once you open them, you get charged $15 - $25.00 for viewing. Lots of people don't know that you can block them. Just call your service provider.
"ty judi.will keep an eye out for those and be selective in who gets our phone numbers
Be very careful to read the "agreements" when you download certain apps. Sometimes you will unwittingly agree to receive these types of texts from creators of the apps you download.
kk will do
Sneaky rat bastards.
sounds like it, thought apple was very selective for its app application process
that's to protect apple, not you :-)
i tell you if it were not for the fact that both phones were free,we would of gone andriod
cause i love my android tablet
a 3 year plan commitment is going to be 2700 dollars by the time it is all over so i did not want to shell out 2 grand for phones at the start as well
for both phones*
*YAWN* Fireworks.
yaa for judi!!
whew! found the built in data tracker
Morning folks
anyone have the ch 6/27 please
i have not started this geid but i have a question about it
Hello, Mr. Bob.
ruru half of cancer treatments or torsos with a lisp
thanks
i guess I should say thanksth instead
Sorry, was gone for a bit. Glad you found your data tracker, crossy; was it under the system set up?
crossy..did you see the bacon flag? it's at msnbc facebook/msnbc
looking phae..
it was indeed nef
done...still waiting for my Christmas gift from Babble :-)
yaa for phae!!
you will be up 4 am christma morning with kids/grandkids shrieking like fireballs and a nice small turkey dinner for 55 people to prepare and you will briefly turn on babble and see a nice chunky 500 word grid that you have no time to do
who wants to bet me right now that the dec 25th grid will be over 300 words? lol
I'm hoping it will be a nice 200 size...
I wouldn't be surprised if the Christmas grid is that big. What I would bet on is that the die hard finishers will complete it, even on Christmas.
LOL, Molly! So true.
yea! that's what I want...200 or more!
No kids/grandkids/, guests, or friends showing up. Just me and the hubby...nice and quiet.
time to move on...Happy Babbling!
my fave size is 150-250
big enough so it is not just a nasty thing full of babblets and small enough so it is not a typing marathon with every word having every possible ending
phaeton; I've got too much quiet right now with DH being ill. I like the busy festivities
Party at Nef's house!
ill bring martini fixins;)
Yeah! :-)
We used to have an annual Taco and Tequila party in honor of the night we met. It was lots of fun; but after about the 7th or 8th I came to the realization that I can't drink. We had them for over 23 year before it got to be too much work
ANOTHER little one? Waiting for the 670....
This size was perfect for me to do here at work...
Sounds like a fun tradition, Nef.
hi harp. Small grids leave us with too much time on our hands, don't they? (Maybe they're small to make me do my housework?)
It was, Molly. But it did get to be lots of work after a while....
hi all
hi jmc. How are you today?
sorry i was catching up with the chog. . .i am fine. . .just spent a half hour complaining to the hospital about my sister's treatment
*shakes out cape*
What's wrong? (with both your sister and her treatment?)
how are you and DH doing nef?
Morning folks and sheesh, what's with the small puzzles? Actually have time to do them and they're all small... please BIG puzzles while I job search!
she had (will totally get this wrong) lapascoptic surgery to lift . . . female stuff. . .
hi leigh and cad
maybe do it without a list, cadfan? that's what i do when i want to make it longer :)
DH is in lots of pain today; PT was here and he's now asleep in the chair. Not sure why his pain should be worse now than since surgery; I have a call in to the doctor and am waiting for a return call..
the hospital was crowded so we paid extra for the swank room which is swank but was 1) dirty 2) took the nurse an hour to show up the first time 3) the tooth brush they gave her fell apart in her mouth
oh dear sorry DH is having such problems. . .
OMG! That sounds like a Hell-Hole, jmc!
Need clue for ch4,11. anyone has it?
the list is long but when you pay that much for a room over and above you don't expect to get that crappy of treatment
Kenny, something a French cook would say?
a french name for a restaurant
Hi all....clue please for sh624 please?
I agree with you, jmc.
Thanks Nef and jmc
sh6 plural yiddish word sh4/6
aside from the fact that it took them 4 hours after i paid for the room to get her there and they didn't offer her even a gingerale. . . and she was feeling so frail and then the toothbrush bristles came apart in her mouth and she freaked out! sorry i am starting to rant. . .
jmc; that is terrible. I don't blame you for ranting one bit!
thanks, dan
anyway we have been talking with the floor supervisor and i am expecting (and will get) a discount on the swank room underthese circumstances
i must not know that yiddish word
thanks dan!
sh4 - jerk, lout, idiot
definitely. I'd also point out that that flimsy toothbrush could be a choking hazard and they'd have a big lawsuit if she'd been confused and swallowed part of it!
you should know that word, jmc; *I* knew it and I don't know any yiddish (and didn't know that's what it was, either
yes i mentioned that. . . not to mention the bristled were really really stiff. . .even swallowing them would have been potentially hazardous
schmuck is not in the grid and too long. . . hahaha
think "Lil Abner"...
hi all
can i have a clue for the co5 after the things in space
sh+ larry, curly, **
hi sue. Sorry, I don't have that one yet

15 left here
60 left here :-D
nbt
congrats jmc
Go, teach; go, jmc!
*curtsies*
go nef
cest
l'guerre
sorry not even a word
makes you wonder why cest isn't a word but ch 4/11 is...
(or is my spelling all wrong?
cest le vive
somehow i think it is c'est
c'est la vie
okay. I never took French and am terrible with English too... ;-)
what can i say. . . i can't even spell in english and they kicked me out of french class
haha nef and i are twinsies
thank wv for writing it correctly
i could spell it in French class but professor always commented and how I butchered the pronuncitation
LOL! That's funnny.
haha people love my pronunciation if i say it to them having heard it. . . but i am completely unable to learn the language. . .
I can pick up some words in other languages if I hear them (and am told the meaning!) but forget it otherwise. I know how to say "turn, cough, deep breath" in Korean, Russian, Hmong, and a few other languages. I don't think I'd get very far in the world on that
i'm not an auditory learner - need to see it before i remember it
WHen I was in high school, I worked as an aide in the local nursing home. We had some elderly people who didn't know much English; and to get the patients to bed we used to tell the old Norwegian men to stand up; pull down your pants, and let's run to bed" -in Norwegian. I don't remember all of that anymore....
co6/21 please??
pl of the co 5/12, sorted group?
pl of co 5/12 - like place hang up coats minus a consonant
Je parle français!
can't see it at all...
these last 12 words are a pain!
Nef! You must have gotten those old Norwegian dudes all excited telling them "pull down your pants, let's run to bed". : P
Flask, like a girdle, but leave out the r
the co 6/21 - I wanted it to have 2 snakes in it ;) but then it would be a co7
I think we all got a laugh from that, Molly; including the patients. :-)
missing 1 W - have wh x 2, wi x 1, wo x 3
wh x3
hey molls

I'm missing one too but I have 3 wh
the wi was tricky for me
tech is not a word? somehow this surprises me
honestly!?... is there a ban on grids of more than 100 words at the mo?
thnx Leslie - monkeyed it

Hello to my fellow babblers! How is everybody doing today
his incision looks a lot better to me, hopefully the doc will clear him for chemo when he sees him tomorrow
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
finishers ... i just started, hope to be here 30 mins
not that we are looking forward to chemo but he needs it
usue, nice to have that as an option though
Thanks so much, Min.
yes indeed suze.chemo is funny though.i have seen many at the cancer lodge just sail right through it no issues
brb
my room mate was walking to st lawrence market every day,getting his daily newspaper.he was just doing a nice normal routine
we are hoping, crossy, but will see
he will be getting folfiri and erbitux
so i noticed when i was able to lift my head out of the toilet bowl for a few brief seconds lol
mine was cisplatin
oh! was 6 years cured this dec 5th!! and expect frank to join me for survivor celebrations after this annoying chemo stint
6 years for my seminoma that is,the others were later on
attitude is important
weiik.attitude is imho well over 50% of the battle
we'll be there with you, crossy!
i saw so many curl up and die.it was heart breaking
tell frank he better be or crossy will get angry
will do :-)
actually i would give the persons attitude,outlook and the way he or she handles the entire thing + family or other support system a 60% with the rest being medical
got my 30 words and back to work .... ttyl all
you have that wold picture for him?
wolf
it's on our wall, crossy!
good!
cisplation blahhhh aarrrghh - me too for ovarian CA.13 years cancer free. i will be thinking of frank too - positive attitude! I envisioned a PAC MAN game with chemo my weapon
and I adopted a mama and baby wolf for him for his birthday, they are watching over him as well
you remember that cisplatin dobie?? omg!
good for you, jmb! my mom died of ovarian cancer in 1973 - they didn't have good treatments for it back then
very nice sue! through the wwf?
no, Defenders of Wildlife, crossy
yep - everything was manageable until then - I was in the hospital for 5 day three times. When the evil cisplatin my body said every body out right now and no food for 3 days
things are much improved now - in terms of anti nausea drugs.
indeed, they are making advances all the time
ok, time for more nap, bbl
3 days??!! i did not eat food again other than ensure drinks and shaved ice for 6 months!
tc suze
i meant no food in hospital - home wasanother thing all together
treatments monday to friday and cancer society to drive me home on weekeds and repeat every week for 6 months
frank has you sue
i hope frank just gets good chemo and kicks that cancers ass;)
and with sue watching hi i am sure he will be chasing 25 year old hotties in no time:))
Hi again! Just wandering by and I mis-read crossy's post as " he will be chasing 25 old hotties in no time"
Who wants to chase OLD hotties?
Nef, that is all some people can keep up with. : D
lol
lol u go crossy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ))))
lol not for me snags!! the 25 year old hotties smile at me now and ask if i need help carrying that bag out to the car cause i am puffing like a steam engine and i break a sweat when i comb my hair
lol............ aw crossy, Idon't believe that for one minute............
i like my ladies closer to my own age because not only can we fall apart together,often we can share medication:)
lol.............. ya maka me laugh
well,i may be hiding in the bushes just a little bit,like a lion limpiung so the antelope are not quite sure how fast he really is;)
limping

Hello SeaSpray! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
Am doing well Min and you?
I am well. Two and a half more weeks until Xmas vacation.
Almost seem impossible, really came quickly this year...maybe it's because I am getting older?
It gets here quickly every year.I've done no shopping so far
my hubby went today..bless him...I have done very little
Sea, it's hard to get into the Christmas spirit when you've lost a loved one.
It is Molly, we went through the exact same thing last year with my father in law...a year on one day to be exact...unbelievable
But, my Grandchildren bring smiles to everyone..4 year old and a 10 month old...they keep us going
Am watching Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire...didn't realize it was from 1942
It's good to have little ones around when times are tough. They bring a lot of light with them.
they do, my granddaughter has had some very sad moments however, as she was extremely close to my Dad
Am heading off to get some much needed sleep, thanks for the chat Molly...have a good night
Goodbye SeaSpray. Sorry I didn't chat, was surfing the web
