Hi rose, early rise for me, woke up at 4am and that was it

5:04 am

lol....sounds like my nights....and sprites...

5:05 am

hi Annie :) Sorry you can't sleep, but glad to see you.

5:05 am

Yes, I know sprite has trouble sleeping as do you

5:05 am

sprite, nice to see you also

5:06 am

things could be worse... we could sleep lousy AND not have babble friends to turn to

5:06 am

LOL. very true. When I woke up and tried to sleep again, I said to myself " I wonder how many words today after yesterday's giant and I as UP.

5:06 am

5:08 am

lol

5:09 am

roflol

5:09 am

seems like the hiccup ate one of my posts. I was saying how I've started playing Word Feud with a friend, in dutch. First, all I spot are english words, seem to be blind to dutch ones. And secondly, the dictionary it uses is as bad as enable!

5:09 am

Im going to make coffee..into the kitchen I go

5:10 am

just finished my first cuppa. All is well in my world now.

5:10 am

so good to know, dearest sprite. xoxox

5:11 am

:)

5:14 am

Morning all.

5:15 am

morning sukee

5:15 am

g'day sukee

5:15 am

good morning, sukee

5:15 am

did you see my post about Word Feud, rose?

5:16 am

yes sprite. i think i may have to look into it.

5:16 am

just thought it was funny. Seems word games use crazy dictionaries.

5:18 am

ahhh...i don't have the appliances to play it...*shrug*

5:18 am

no, you need a smartphone for it. Next cell phone, no doubt.

5:19 am

only if apple don't make it...

5:20 am

no, smartphones are apart from apple. Apple has its iPhones and iPads. Smartphones are the 'normal' ones now.

5:21 am

maybe then....i am techno challenged, you realise?

5:22 am

don't worry, darling. Everyone our age is nowadays. things develop so crazy fast. I used to be very computer savvy. Now? Not so much anymore. And I had to get used to the smartphone too. Am glad I took the trouble though.

5:25 am

word feud is scrabble, with a slightly different board. Imagine being able to play scrabble together, free of charge if you have wifi, just whenever you have time and feel like it, you can make a move? Would be fun, right?

5:26 am

sounds great, sprite

5:27 am

:)

5:29 am

my friend robyn and i played so many word games...scrabble, boggle, take two...but only if she could use the scrabble dictionary....lol

5:31 am

lol! I love it. Well, get a smartphone then, an android. We'll play some games together too.

5:31 am

yes, my dear, we will.

5:31 am

good :D I'd like that.

5:35 am

hehehe, busted, cameron, and hi

5:35 am

5:36 am

5:36 am

Hi all and hugs, Rose and sprite

5:36 am

Hi liz

5:36 am

{{hugs}} liz girl

5:37 am

hi Liz! *hugs* How's life, dear friend?

5:37 am

Hi sukee :) - sorry didn't see you there

5:37 am

Life's good thanks. Worst of the humidity has gone - hopefully not to return til next summer.

5:38 am

ugh, amen to that, Liz. I admire you guys for functioning in such hot humidity.

5:38 am

How's life treating all of you.

5:38 am

I could use some humidity right now.

5:38 am

-18 here this morning.

5:39 am

i don't function! Air con, fans and pool are life savers!

5:39 am

life is good here as well, thanks. All quiet at the teenager front, even.

5:39 am

And in those conditions, central heating ;)

5:39 am

Quiet teenagers are good. Wish our neighbours would shut up!

5:39 am

brrrr sukee. That is cold.

5:40 am

It's warming up to -5 :)

5:40 am

PIssed as ne 4s and loud with it!

5:40 am

oh that sucks :( So annoying, loud pissed people.

5:41 am

Wednesday seems to be their day off and they drink and are loud most Wednesdays. But the rest of the time, they're pretty quiet, so can't really complain.

5:43 am

Am I right in thinking that Pugs has her op tomorrow - I sent a card, so hope I'm right.

5:43 am

if it is every wednesday, sure you can. They have a right to expect some leniency for birthdays and such, but not for a weekly bacchanal.

5:43 am

yes, tomorrow, 22nd. I wrote to her a couple of times but she is very busy, it seems. Prolly working extra to save up for postop.

5:44 am

Point taken but we'll see how it goes. Hopefully they won't continue too late. It's 9.45 pm right now, so not too late yet.

5:44 am

I wrote after her letter about her man but haven't heard anything since.

5:44 am

Tiny clue for an 8 / 55 pls?

5:45 am

i also have written to pugs. but no response...as sprite says,,,she is probably trying to save up as much as she can. wonder what she is going to do with her sister?

5:45 am

Perhaps there's some respite care.

5:47 am

I don't have it yet, Liz, sorry

5:47 am

an5, anxiety + cd ***

5:47 am

Thanks, Rose.

5:47 am

Nearly finished Brightly Burning now - so sad when you know you're getting to the end of a series of books.

5:59 am

Didn't have much time to read last week.

6:00 am

ugh yes... I know that sadness. In this case, having to say goodbye to friends and a whole other world. But the Sword of Truth will make it up to you.

6:00 am

Ty annie, just figured it out :)

6:00 am

OMG over 4 hours -- i'm exhausted LOL!

6:35 am

*Fans Une*

6:35 am

Hello everyone!

6:36 am

hey car :-)

6:37 am

Hello, all. Going to try to play a bit. Been sick with the flu for going on 3 weeks...nearly went to the hospital a couple of times. This flu is a virulent strain and at one point the only thing I was worried about is that I WOULDN'T die.

6:37 am

Oh no! {{mimicat}}

6:37 am

aawww so sorry mimi

6:38 am

hi to all newbies- and sorry to hear you are so ill Mimi- hope you get better soon

6:38 am

hey wolvie :-)

6:38 am

Hi Wolvie

6:40 am

((car)) I've lost so much money not being able to work...glad I have a bit of a buffer. Couldn't even sit at the computer...just lying there watching TV, going insane and being held hostage by my cats. They knew I couldn't stop them so they really went to town with destruction. I think I've turned the corner but haven't been this sick in a long time. Luckily, my daughter checked on me every day and my downstairs neighbor (a nursing student) helped as well as my neighbor across the breezeway. Yesterday was the first time I'd eaten in over two weeks. I did drink fluids, however. Just awful.

6:41 am

*Gives Mimi a steamy bowl of home made chicken soup*

6:41 am

I am so sorry to hear this Mimi

6:41 am

((Molly)) I've missed all of you.

6:41 am

I am glad you are starting to feel better!

6:41 am

wow- sounds terrible Mimi- gladsome folks were around to help out

6:42 am

Also had to take extra heart medication due to the stress. But I'm a tough old broad and don't give up easily. Didn't want to go to the hospital for fear of getting worse. That happened to my mother-in-law. Went into the hospital with something minor and died.

6:43 am

ugh. Ihear that- my Mom went in with one thing- ended up with a load of infections on board- took forever to clear them. pretty scary

6:44 am

It is horrible when sick people don't want to go to the hospital for fear of getting sick. :(

6:45 am

Everyone do yourselves a favor and take extra vitamin C and some zinc. I'm told by a couple of doctors that this flu is bringing lots of people down for about 3 weeks and killing some. I had some antibiotics so I took them to avoid a secondary infection so it could have been worse. Trying to get strength back now.

6:46 am

Had to cancel oral surgery I've been waiting to have for a couple of years...but will reschedule and get it done. At least I have people who care for me.

6:49 am

Hadn't had computer on for over a week and had 1198 emails...scanned briefly and deleted most...if important, they'll send again.

6:49 am

1198 omg lol

6:50 am

I'm not really that popular...mostly junk.

6:51 am

Just wanted to touch base...lying back down...still really weak. But am alive and grateful for the help I have and for just being too stubborn to die! Hugs.

6:51 am

ttfn :-)

6:52 am

Please take care!!!

NBT and NBS!

6:59 am

'statin' is not a word?

7:00 am

7:01 am

Ugh...bachelor #2 is not getting out of bed, much like bachelor #1 earlier. I hate mornings.

7:11 am

Congrats!

7:14 am

7:15 am

annie, put an a at the beginning and the end and you'll get one of the as8, plural for the 9

7:16 am

7:18 am

8:16 am

let's all take a minute to imagine who on earth would use that word every day....

8:19 am

woot! nbt....given I only have half a functioning brain, I am a happy gal!

8:20 am

funny that "statin" isn't an acceptable word...isn't that a type of medicine?

Yes you take it for high blood pressure i think, or cholesterol or something

8:22 am

I thought so...thanks, joseph

8:25 am

isn't it an abbreviation of something?

I don't think so? I think there are different kinds and they all end with -statin but I think the class of them is just statin plain

8:27 am

somebody needs to update 'enable'

where's that doctor, who has a rabbit

8:28 am

probably working

8:29 am

Good morning, all!

8:31 am

Hi Judi

8:33 am

That's scrabbler, joseph....she is such a love

what exactly does th9 mean? gargling? growling? ululating? coughing?

8:38 am

passage from the mouth to the stomach

8:39 am

I monkeyed it. odd word

so... swallowing?

8:39 am

No, that is the definition for the word not the gerund form

8:40 am

true

8:40 am

The only definitions I could find for the gerund form are very dirty

So it's sort of like... um... who's that politician that... Santorum!

8:41 am

This is a slippery slope we're going down.

8:42 am

Don't worry, someone will change the subject with the weather soon.

8:42 am

Sorry. Very sorry.

8:42 am

ig7?

I also would like that clue

8:46 am

ig + first three letters of not nurture + last two letters of who we say Ave to

thanks

I got ca8 and 9 rhythem instruments

8:48 am

Hmm, I missed the requests for the ca8 and 9

there wasn't one I'm just offering a clue for the heck of it

8:49 am

ty JJ

8:49 am

you are such a giver, joseph :)

8:49 am

thnx jj

My theory is that if I do the long words I find, someone else will do the long ones I don't find... :)

8:50 am

my theory is that if I read the chog long enough, someone else will ask for a clue for a word I need :)

8:51 am

me too

8:51 am

You are correct Trif. Chat is basically just one clue after another.

8:51 am

gotta run...see you later!

8:56 am

I have Th9 and Ca9. What does the other 9 start with?

8:56 am

hi Judi. No idea.

as9

8:57 am

Ty. *searching*

9:03 am

as9 was in the last grid

9:03 am

hmm...ty

9:05 am

First column corner i help please?

9:05 am

i + silky fabric

9:06 am

also from yesterday

9:06 am

and pl

9:06 am

starting to wonder if its the same grid...

9:07 am

ty hego

9:07 am

lol. Once was enough.

9:07 am

ryas

9:07 am

yw Fan

9:07 am

oops

9:07 am

ty Fan

9:08 am

nbt

9:08 am

anytime hego lol

9:08 am

nbt

9:08 am

:)

9:10 am

Any clue for that As9?

9:10 am

is AN 8 a compound word?

Dog from the Thin Man movies + prong of fork

9:10 am

we had it yesterday. it's a plural.

9:11 am

who is that a clue for?

9:11 am

a + medical for right now + fork prong. leave off first letter.

My dog clue was for AS8 (9 is plural)

9:11 am

For Judi

9:12 am

Ty ty!

9:12 am

ty hego

9:12 am

I don't have the an.

9:12 am

Sorry jj. missed it.

9:12 am

nbs

9:12 am

yw

9:17 am

bbl. good day all.

9:18 am

tx jj! :-)

I don't have the an either.

9:33 am

Blah. I grow weary of this grid. 117 left. I think I've hit the wall.

9:36 am

an8 is the an5 before it and last three letters of high school (Jr or Sr) dance

9:36 am

an8= an+cons+senator thurmond

Thank you folks

I know it wouldn't be a word but, we can ALMOST make "staycation" in this puzzle

9:45 am

True, jj. But, part of that is usable.

9:45 am

You can go have one of those in the PB, JJ : D

I defy anyone to say they didn't already have the usable part :)

9:45 am

great clue, grant, ty.. hi all

That's a weird phrase if you think about it. "I defy you to"

9:46 am

I think, "triple dog dare" is more appropriate.

9:46 am

Yes, and the PB is kind of a moot point these days.

9:48 am

*props feet up. pours glass of moot punch*

9:50 am

And just for the record, there are 2 usable parts that were given

9:53 am

Have scratched and clawed my way down to 89 words left.

9:55 am

Sounds like it's mewt punch you're drinking

ok but people probably wouldn't have thought about the second usable part if you hadn't mentioned it

9:57 am

Desperation will lead most people to it.

9:58 am

I'm pulling the plug with 86 left. I quit. I'm taking my ball and bat and going back to work. See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*

9:59 am

bye, Judi.. hagd

10:08 am

I have a question. Would this be an appropriate clue or too giveaway?

10:08 am

20

10:09 am

too giveaway and thank you!

10:10 am

but people use "number before or number after all the time" which is kind of the same thing

10:11 am

could you spell that out? LOL.. hi Erda and wvt

10:12 am

hello aloy and all

10:12 am

I don't think many people care anymore. There was a time when people played this game to see how many words they could get on their own, and cluing was a last resort kind of thing. That is not the case anymore.

10:14 am

depends on the person, Molly.. lots of people play just to chat and that is fine too

10:14 am

hello again

10:15 am

I don't care because I close chat until I'm ready to get a brain push in the right direction, or just want to say hello

10:15 am

hi MLF

10:16 am

hi aloy

10:16 am

everyone plays - comes to Babble - in different ways - with or without the list, with or without the chat, with or without the clues - no one should feel bad / good because of their choices

10:16 am

ig7?

10:16 am

agreed wv

10:16 am

Yes, closing chat has become the only option for those who wish to find words on their own. I have seen people ask (very nicely) for clues not to be given without a request. They usually get negative responses for that.

10:16 am

I so agree wvt.. it is for fun after all

10:17 am

think of a saint MLF.. tweek the ending

10:17 am

you mean all this time i thought we "had" t finish and we dont need to?:)lol

10:17 am

And yes, there are no rules here, never have been. There was at one time, a kind of group conscience, but that ended a long time ago.

10:17 am

aloy as in the name of one?

10:18 am

yes.. hs football .. you from Ohio?

10:18 am

got it

10:18 am

hot dog

10:18 am

aloy not from ohio

10:18 am

*Protestants everywhere are scratching their heads* : D

10:19 am

oh, sorry.. big name in NE Ohio

10:21 am

A Cleveland HS that is a football champ

10:21 am

ends in ius

10:23 am

is AN 8 a compound word?

10:23 am

I don't mind clues in the chat.. most of the time I already have the word

10:23 am

ruru you are just too smart for us arent you?:)

10:24 am

tsk tsk

10:24 am

not really.. I just start earlier than most of you guys :D

10:24 am

hi ruru

10:25 am

an 8 is not compound.. it is a physics unit

10:25 am

ruru yeah i lvoed coming here at flip but we go to bed before it as i am usually watching tv and hubby is on puter

10:29 am

can we expand on that i have no idea?

10:30 am

ends with Sen. Thurmond's first name Molly

10:31 am

ty aloy

10:32 am

yw, can't take credit for the clue.. saw it earlier

10:32 am

also start of famed Italian volcano

10:32 am

you can take credit for it no one will know

10:35 am

*must be a lot of cy words*

10:36 am

8

10:36 am

10:36 am

Um, I had the an8 but thanks anyway

10:36 am

hi zooz

10:36 am

Hello, Aloy :-)

10:40 am

Oh Molly * giggle*

10:47 am

<---thankful the tw4 doesn't have a gerund.. we'd never hear the end of it

10:48 am

applause for ruru

10:50 am

surprised me that the th6 has a gerund

10:51 am

yeah.. that's an odd one

10:52 am

It would not have occurred to me to try it

10:52 am

trying to think of a sentence.. stumped.. he was th9 the mouthwash?

10:53 am

probably more to do with birds aloy

10:54 am

warblers maybe

10:54 am

just googled it. you don't want to know

10:55 am

ooh, slaughter?

10:55 am

that's deep rob

10:56 am

nm, lol

10:56 am

Bill Clinton would have found that word in a minute

10:56 am

gagging on coffee

10:56 am

:D

10:57 am

never know what will be in the grid

10:58 am

I'm still laughing about the birds

11:01 am

<--was trying to keep it PG but NOOOOO Robwhy had to open up the can o' worms

11:02 am

Oh of course. YOU were trying to keep it PG.

11:02 am

Ahahahahaha!

11:02 am

And not to worry Rob, I opened up that can of worms earlier and the prim and proper ignored me.

11:06 am

good morning everyone - now that I've quit laughing over the Clinton comment, could I please have a clue for the an 8 that doesn't involve a US senator?

11:06 am

It's the an5 (dread word) before it + last three letters of Jr or Sr dance for teenagers.

11:07 am

You do have those dances in Canada, don't you?

11:07 am

ty molly

11:08 am

not called the same thing -- at least not in the west

11:08 am

and so it goes.. wy6 gerund to finish up.. has been fun, folks.. back to work, ciao

11:09 am

not even sure the kids nowadays even have a dance every year --- still have a grad dance I think

11:10 am

Some people in other countries (Soodle comes to mind) are familiar with US phrases due to movies and television. But I still have an5 about using US phrases in clues : D

11:12 am

we never had prom kings and queens like the states --- mind you, football doesn't govern our school lives either

11:13 am

<---football governs my life

11:13 am

that's sad, ruru

11:14 am

better than pornography nan :D

11:15 am

true - but can't imagine a game influencing what I do that much

11:16 am

it doesn't really. but it is a good pastime for me

11:16 am

glad to hear it

11:16 am

I gotta get ready for work.. Have to finish up later.. I can't see anything else right now.

11:18 am

Lots of people are interested in sports. I don't think that means it dominates their lives though. And it's a homecoming dance that has to do with football, not proms.

11:19 am

I was watching one of those reality shows dealing with real estate the other day --- one young couple had to buy their house in 2 weeks because they had to be settled in before football season started! Mind boggling. Then there are the ones that will go over budget to buy a home that will suit their dog rather than themselves --- don't these folk have any limitis?

11:20 am

whatever - molly -- we don't have any of those dances at our schools up here and school sports come way down the list after academics

11:21 am

Obsession is a strange thing. Whether it be with sports or pets or whatever.

11:23 am

agreed

11:23 am

Academics are important in US schools as well. Which is why any student who plays a school sport must maintain a proper grade average or they can't play the sport.

11:24 am

same here and so it should be

11:24 am

cyber and on the same show but updated you go back to their homes and they have spent way over their budgets to re do the house they said was perfect for them

1:04 pm

congrats, nan

1:04 pm

If SOA means Sons Of Anarchy, I've never seen it. How do birds by the moon relate?

1:05 pm

so anything in Obama's speech last night other than tax plans that the house will shoot down in flames?

1:05 pm

i am listening to katey sagal singing bird on a wore as i speak

1:05 pm

Yes, lots of blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah : D

1:06 pm

that's why I didn't bother watching tv last night!

1:06 pm

sagal sings bird on a wire.. great song............. and there is theme in there about a murder of crows

1:06 pm

Oh I get it SMom, it's a song from that show.

1:07 pm

did he mention the pipeline?

1:07 pm

729 days left of this joke of a Presidency.

1:07 pm

never knew sagal was such a good singer.. just remember her as peggy bundy.. she is a real talent though

1:08 pm

I like Katey Sagal.

1:11 pm

feel sorry for him though -- he was just too inexperienced at first, and he didn't stand a chance between all the racial prejudice and the social reform he was committed to. I think some of his ideas were beneficial to the majority of the people. Glad he's against the pipeline though --- I don't think Canada should be sending our oil to the states for refining -- think we should build our own refineries and keep the jobs at home!

1:12 pm

now i have bette midler on there and mozart is next...and then hank williams junilr........... walter made me a great track

1:13 pm

agreed cybernan!

1:13 pm

odd that we do not have a plant to refine the bitrium

1:13 pm

Done. See you tomorrow.

1:15 pm

i agree nan.. i think he wanted to what he believed best......... once people get into power though (re senators and congressmen) they seem to be more into their own agendas and dont give a damn about what they were elected for which was to better the country

1:15 pm

very expensive to build, crossy, then we have the nimby's. Nevertheless....we sell too many of our resourses off.

1:15 pm

The environment concerns for that pipeline are scary as well

1:17 pm

I think the biggest danger is the chemicals in the sludge ponds leeching into the ground water -- there has to be a better method of waste disposal

1:18 pm

That bitrium is corrosive in and of itself.We need to get off the stuff;(

1:18 pm

nimby = not in my back yard

1:19 pm

yes, molly

1:20 pm

: D I try to translate the abbreviations when I can

1:22 pm

I wonder how far a world, free of oil dependency, would be along the road to world peace?

1:23 pm

tays

1:25 pm

I don't know Nan. People seemed to find a way to make war against each other long before oil dependency became an issue.

1:25 pm

that's true

1:26 pm

time for me to be off -- finally feeling well enough to go and get my hair cut this aft -- wil be nice to get rid of the shaggy dog look. hagd everyone :-)
