co5 and g'day from me. liz girl, em7/40 and po7/36
Hi Rose - have the em 7, not the po 7
Have a po 6 but that won't extend
Have you had a good day, Rose.
try po6/24
OK - looking. Mine is po 6/27
wonderful day liz. don and i have been out for lunch, celebrating both out birthdays. we went to a wonderful place called alfred's homestead.
Sounds lovely - rural and farm-ish. What did you have to eat?
anything that wasn't nailed down.....
LOL - or presumably wasn't already not breathing!
it is an all you can eat buffet. hot and cold, with soups available. fresh bread. and real butter. desserts enough to feed a regiment.
thanks for the po 7
we finished with an irish coffee
Sounsd wonderful - recipe for overeating, for sure.
Yummmmm
they do have their own website, liz
The photos look mouthwatering.
Is it close to where you live?
hmmmm, about a 40 minute drive. so not too bad.
Not too bad at all.
it's worth the drive for the food. the hot buffet includes a full carvery.
Might mention it to family - about 30 minutes from stepson according to google maps
considering the amount of food eaten, it is good value for money. i recommend the lunch time over the dinner.
Definitely good to know.
oh, and the drinks are very reasonably priced.
So now you're feeling full and sleepy, I'd imagine ;)
come here don, let me feel you.
lolol
don says he's not full AND sleepy
Not sleepy sounds good - especially after a few drinks :)
only the one, the coffee. we had a jug of lemon, lime and bitters between us.
I love lemon, lime and bitters. Had never heard of it before I moved to Aus.
but i checked out their wine prices. a bottle of moscato was only $12
Sounds reasonable.
15 left but need to go. Back later tonight. Have a good evening. Hugs :)
catch you later. xoxox
Good morning all. May I please have a clue for so5-10? Thanks
so5, so + i have ***d you and ***d you over and again
Thanks so much, my dear.
yw peach
Those stars leave a lot to the imagination
i'll give you stars, ruru, you cheeky possom.
It was the over and over again that threw me 😃
Hopefully gr is cracking up
no such luck, dear.... ;-P
brb, mouse just went nuts, batteries dieing
Well..Don then...
back. nothing worse than your mouse going nuts...
need food, brb.
hurry back peach. xoxox
good morning all
Hi and hugs, Sprite.
hi Liz :) *hugs* Thanks for your lovely email. Will write back today.
It's always good to hear from you :)
{{hugs}} my darling sprite
:D And vice versa. Btw... please please join rose and my talks on babble as often as you like! We LOVE having you with us.
hello my dear rose :) *hugs*
what sprite said.
Hint for the c pls - only 14 left but still a blank c :(
my usual entry call. co5
Well, I'll think about it - but like I said, more often it's down to the iPad.
I'm back.
one combo is like calling rose
How on earth did I miss that???? Must be sleepy!
wb peach
Hi Peach
wb peach. replenished, dear?
Yes, thanks. I have strange eating times.
Hi there, Liz. How are you today?
Any eating time is good in my opinion.
Liz, sure, as long as it is the iPad, np. As long as you join us whenever you can :)
Oh, yeah.
I'm very well, thanks, Peach. Hope you are too.
especially when it is bread, right Liz :D
*giggle* if we all ate only when we needed to eat, most of us wouldn't have a weight problem. i include myself in this group.
Doing better. Just fighting the pollen now.
amen to that
Yup! Amazing how much you miss it when you can't have it and it's not as though I usually eat that much bread.
I know that feeling Peach - only too well.
Have definitely O.D'd on bread, butter and marmite today :)
*grin* Good job.
My hay fever season is totally unpredictable here - not like the UK at all, when i knew exactly when I'd be affected.
are there that much pollen at the beach ?
my friend and i would sit down with a freshly baked loaf of white bread, and a can of condensed milk. we never stood up until it was all gone.
Less so by the beach (need to move there) except for the Norfolk Pine Trees but we're surrounded by grass and trees here.
We made bread today as well, so had to try that too.
ah I see. It is so very uncomfortable, hay fever :(
Makes me feel exhausted and bad-tempered :(
As well as the itchy eyes.
fresh white bread, I can follow. But what did you do with the condensed milk, rose?
oh Liz, so hay fever is like teenager kids?
put it on the bread, of course.
LOLOL - love that analogy.
but but but that would make the bread soggy!
Never had condensed milk.
I agree - wouldn't want soggy bread!
the milk we bought was thick and syrupy.
I'll stick to honey and golden syrup ;)
besides the bread didn't stay on the plate that long....lolol
funny how every grid at some point start looking like there cannot be any more words hiding in there. And then you look at the word count and know you are just barely at 2/3.
Know what you mean.
But then you break the barrier and find more.
true. Second wind is fun :)
3 left but need to go and shower before we go out. So, hugs to all :)
*hugs* liz, and your beloved too. Have fun!
squirrel, rose? :)
nope, i am here. xoxox
*grins* Good!
how are you today?
i was good until about an hour ago. *sigh*
we went out for lunch, an all you can eat buffet.
ouch. Maybe done a little bit too much yesterday? It sounded like it?
i have my patches on, and the pain is burning up my thigh.
poor darling *healing vibes*
i took an endone. *sigh, again* i wanted to hold out, but i was in tears, it was that bad.
for me, when I overtax myself, I am in extra pain right afterwards, but that is not the killer. It is the afterpain, that comes the next day and builds up towards the day after that that does me in.
that is what the endone is for, darling. When you are in excruciating pain, you take an endone.
but i don't have the FM pain anything like it was...still...
My peeps....I'm tired now....think I'll call it a night. Blessings all.
that is a wonderful sign. You seem to be reacting perfectly to the treatment.
night peach, sleep well
sweet dreams, dear peach
oh, and the whole body jerks have started again. like when you drift off, and you jump, like you are falling?
yeah
only i am wide awake. and my right arm has the shakes on and off.
so very unpleasant :( Poor rose.
trying to do the on-line jigsaws are very taxing. trying to pick the piece up and move it into place.
yeah I can see how that would be very taxing. Small precise movements, and not easy to relax the muscles in between
how you doing with the grid,sprite?
almost done. Time for you to go, my dear friend?
no, just wanted to poke you a little....lol
roflol
*pokes back*
ouch, that was my eye.
*sniff* doooonnnn, look at what sprite did to me!!
so sorry. Was aiming for your ribs.
well, could you please look up from the keyboard next time?
what, and see that angry look of hurt on your face? Nahhhh.
wouldn't dare
but i look really good red and purple.
you look really good in anything. Or nothing. Still... you look too dangerous right after being poked :D
ROFLOL don is standing on the other side of the bed, doing a full monty strip. gosh, he is so funny.
lolllll aw that is so sweet.
i don't think me laughing was quite the effect he was looking for. * chuckle *
omg rose, go gently on his fragile male ego!
jeezzz louise... mantra for this grid: past tense, past tense, past tense. Last 7 words all past tenses I had forgotten.
fireflies
WTG SPRITE!!!!!
*giggles* Thanks darling. Now go and ravish your guy :D
a tad early here...still pre-dinner legover....hmmm not a bad idea.
:D *hugs* my darling. Have fun. Enjoy dinner afterwards. And may you have a painfree sleep.
thanx my friend. i hope your day is going to be okay for you. any major plans?
I have to be a taxi service today. Driving daughter and husband to various destinations. Laundry in between. Walk with Terra this afternoon. The end :)
hmmm, not hard. at least sitting while driving.
yeah it is all good. I don't mind driving. Ok, have to go, about time to do that first trip :D
hugs and kisses dearest. see you tomorrow.
Good morning.
Good morning, everyone:)
Hey crssy
crossy.
How is Sukee this fine, sunny Sunday?
Not bad, going to be a beautiful day by the looks of it.
How are things with you.
Not to bad so far:)
too*
I am just trying to come to life here. Cats starte waking me up at 04:30 :(
I actually woke the cat up today.
I tried waking my cat up once as a revenge thing. problem is that they are too smart. They just escalate with a nice warm hairball in my shoes or pillow:(
Could I get a clue for ol6, please?
meal
sorry
not there yet.
Just getting going here as well. Sorry, Marc
There is no ol6. Did you mean om6?
sorry om6
Egg dish
you can't make one without breaking eggs
That one i have, that was easy :)
thanks got it
Too many darn As
and Es
13 vowels does not make for a pleasant grid
I found EM7 could anyone tell me what the other 7 starts with?
po
thank you
could I get a clue for em6, please?
Sort of like shoving a stake through someone but beginning with E instead of I
thanks
There's no way there's 146 words in this grid
What surprised me (with 13 vowels) is that only two tiles are unplayable
and that's if you count the y as a vowel
No, it's 14 if you count the y as a vowel
ok
hello
bichon I was thinking the same thing
help with the c words please?
it sounds like what a dove would yell
An Australian Aborigine dove : D
double o?
yep
co...and 3 more vowels
Sounds like a pig call
still not getting it
wouldn't that be an oink?
start with the C and make a circle with the letters
No, not how you call a pig
c & double vowel & another double vowel
got it

beautiful weather here
morning Bichon
It's going to be near 70 today!!!!
when is American going to go metric - I am now at the stage where I need to convert everything
That's cute - we are going to be 70 tomorrow
well, time to get moving, it's going to be a beautiful day
lynn, Americans are never, never going to convert to metric. For some people metric is "un-American" [not joking]
changed my icon last night, and look what is in the grid?
enjoy your day Owl
bye owl, enjoy the day
Bichon - and yet the currency is. Do your tradesmen use metric? (they tended to here even before we officially changed as it was more accurate)
Scientists, engineers, doctors use metric in their work, but outside of that, they don't
stats for center column a, pls
what is very attractive is that your weight in kilos is soo much less than in pounds
bichon, think General Custer
I think the Brits do pounds and miles
as4/4, bichon
General Custer?
ty kje
sorry, bichon, wrong person..
didnt mean to confuse
that's ok. This entire grid is confusing
I see what you meant Annie. Was he there?
ahh - the Al*** , a fort nr Mexican border
Yes, Custer was there
NoW Im not sure...perhaps, it was Bowie
I just associate him with Little Big Horn
alme
Finally, nbt, bbl
close lynx
nope the l and m do not even touch!
Good morning, all!
hi Judi
morning, Judi
25 left for later
bye Annie - enjoy your day
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday to you too, hego.. and to all
Hi Aloy
just opened chat, 24 to go and brb.. tummy rumbling for some breakfast!
enjoy!
granola and yogurt.. munch munch
I had Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And still drinking coffee. Mmmmmmore coffee.
Hi Judi!
Hiya, Hego babe!
sounds tasty!
Another gorgeous day here in the mid-Atlantic.
hurray for better weather!
yes! how about that?
'Bout time we went more than one day without rain. Nice hike in the woods yesterday.
Was it wet in the woods?
Judi must be getting a refill
:)
lots of latin pl. endings today
so many vowels. Ugh
Hi kids.
Yes. Sorry. Was on the phone for a mo. A cluster of vowels.
Hiya, Scrabbs!
Hi Scrabs!
hi there, Scrabbler!
Oh, yes, look at the vowel overload!
hi, i need clue for the 7 that is NOT em. ty.
Woods were dry and lovely. Dog was rolling around in the dry leaves, having a ball.
I just saw the first chipmunk of spring. They are done hibernating. How I love those little creatures.
po7 is pl of a fruit
sounds fun.
Po7, Scrab,
Nice, Judi.
ty All for the 7's.
gee not seeing that po 7. i thought it used the double cons. hmmm.
I still have snow in my yard--big piles that slid off of the roof.
Citrus fruit, if that helps.
no dbl cons.
Are the windows and floors all repaired/replaced yet, Scrabbs?
Scrab, are your windows all fixed?
i know the fruit and am struggling iwth the vowels.
got it. ty.
any z word clues?
snap Judi!
help for co5,12 please?
One of those weird, serendipitous cross polinations that turned into money.
No, I still have 5 boarded windows. And, now that much of the snow has melted in front, I see lots of broken glass that I will clean up later.
Such a mess.
Arrgh. What is taking so long on the windows?
2 of the windows are double-paned, so I guess they take longer to get. They were ordered 4 weeks ago yesterday.
all z words share the same root, zo4.9
Poor Scrabbler. Living in the plywood jungle.
It's really lovely in here.
Nice and cozy
Bette Midler going on tour soon.
Hi Kap
I say randomly, bursting in with no intro.
Hi Kaplan
Hi hego.
The best intro!
hi Kaplan
You could invite some graffit artists in to brighten up the plywood.
Hi
Kap needs no intro.
Hiya, Kap!
:)
co5,12 please?
Great idea, Judi. I am an arts & crafts nut so I could paint them!
Erda, co5 + pl sound like a dove's call
Thanks, Aloy!!!
All the icons of my yourth are closer to 70 than is comfortable.
4 vowels!
Better is 69.
yw
Sure, why not? They are just going to get covered over with carpet or other flooring. Or, just pour a paint puddle and let the rabbits hop around. Bunny print flooring. It'll sweep the nation.
Kind of sad watching all the great rockers getting old.
They still rock though.
True Kap.
Is Bette Midler considered a "rocker"?
Judi, these boards are on the windows, so the bunnies won't hop on them, but I could paint them still.
Kap, I can't wait to reach 70, bc neither my grandma nor my mom made it to that age.. will celebrate for sure if I am lucky enough to set a new record
I wish they would get haircuts like Eric Clapton. Gray hair looks awful all wild and long. lol
Ah.
Old guys with long hair and guitars. If you cut the hair and put them in truck, they would like like any other old guy from the heartland.
Agreed.
Celebrating a birthday is a privilege when you think about the people born in your birthyear that are no longer here.
There was just a supergroup benefit in in town, and it just looked like old guys without haircuts.
No Bette is NOT a rocker!
No- she is a torch singer, cabaret star, vaudevillian and force of nature.
HAHAHA Kap.
The Rolling Stones are coming here to Buffalo in July and the tickets are are very expensive, especially considering the guys are old men with Swiss cheese brains from drug and alcohol use.
70 seems a lot younger than it used to be. My mom only made it to 60.
yes, they are.
My mom died at 92.
Wow, Hego.
Mick Jagger is a nice man, according to a colleague who (never lets anyone forget that he) knows him.
Ron Wood is evil.
Scrab, how old is your mom?
My mother will be 84 on JUne 2.
longevity genes!
92, if I have my brains and body relatively agile, but the prognosis for me isn't that good.
The Rolling Stones just need to go away. They piss me off with their exhorbitant concert prices. They should be playing to the blue hairs in Vegas. (No offense to any blue hairs who may be present/and/or Stones fans).
Yes, Kap all of his wives said so.
Her mother died at 90 and her father was 87.
Yes, my family is very long lived also.
Judi, I agree (as a blue hair) lol
Blue hair like old ladies, or punk kids? Is it like blue blood?
Actually my hair is 50 shades of gray. haha
It just galls me, hego. They have more money than God and they still gouge people for concert tickets.
And the same old material.
fw: for the heck of it, counted five words with the latin ae ending .. any clues needed before I scoot? I like your hair color, hego, lol
You'd think they would have got some satisfaction by now.
g1 hego!
Congrats Aloy! I'm good ty.
ok, have a wonderful Sunday everyone! ciao for now
Congrats, Aloy. Now what are your plans for the day?
ciao aloy.
some grove work, Scrabble.. and after I get all grungy, a dip in the pool and some reading! poof
Enjoy, Aloy!
Howdy again, everyone:) Just found the American margarine. I always miss that one:/
Hi Crossy
just fished it up by accident:)
Howdy, hego
bbl.....
TY for the clue, Crossy.
good morning, everyone
Good day, Nan.
paleo not in dict. tsk
This is not the easiest grid:(
*!* ta da *!*
but monkeyable once you have the stats, crossy
a lot of babblets -- I'm even starting to remember them! Talk about a store of usless info
hagd everyone -- off to watch the curling, then the masters
yes indeed lovely things we remember like: inia, nene, cwms, etui, etwee and the like:)
The Rolling Stones still put on a helluva show. Mick Jagger could outrun some of the world's greatest athletes!
103 to go.....
And I agree, they look like they belong in a nursing home!
Cannot wait for the steel wheelchair tour:)
Of course, saying that, I hope to be that active after age 70;)
My body is a world of hurt today with all the sudden temperature changes
Poor Crossy!
Too many broken bones over the years:/ We think that we are bullet-proof in our youth, but sadly all we do is defer the interest.
I disagree Harp.. I think they should hang it up.. they sound horrible
their performance at the Superbowl.. was worse than Madonna's .. and I don't know how that is even possible.
And now it is time for Crossy's quote of the day!!
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."--Douglas Adams
Their live concerts are a blast, at least the one in Missoula was. But that was about 5 years ago.
good quote!
I saw them at the Oakland Coliseum decades ago.. but the sound was horrible.. so hard to tell..
Have the same problem when I listen to them on the raido:)
I am a Stones fan though.. but think they should retire.. it's amazing people will pay to see them still
Good quote, Crossy.
... you don't go to hear them sing ... ... you go to remember hearing them sing fifty years ago
oh.. that explains it then dose.. :D
Ty, Scrabby. I always did enjoy reading the works fo Mr. Adams
of*
I feel lucky to have grown up in a generation of great rock bands, because (alas) they are a thing of the past
lol dose. I saw Joan Baez this year and felt that way. I don't think anyone in the crowd was under 50!
so true molly.. today's music pretty much smacks of manufactured crap mostly
I am going outside to do some yardwork. Not all of the snow is gone yet though.
love your icon.. calvin and hobbes was one of my most favorite comics
... I've seen Lightfoot each decade with a different date since 1968 ... he can't sing anymore but you go anyways then go home and play the records
you mean Gordon?
... that's the one ...
wow.. he's gotta be a 100 by now
Ticket prices for concerts are insane, no matter who the artist is. If you want to get flabbergasted, go see what people are paying to take their kids to see One Direction.
I don't understand how these musicians take money and still think they have it
... mid- seventies ... but he never recovered fully from that abdominal thing that almost killed him ...
true.. my jonny lang tickets were pretty pricey
hello friends. waiting for someone to come over, but time for a quick babble. miss you all!
He used to sail around Isle Royale, the year I worked there
hi tri
just to jump in, quickly - embrace groupon. We saw Bon Jovi, and Fleetwood Mac, and paid $20 each
If they do not have it any longer, then people should not buy the uber-expensive tickets. As long as the public is still willing to fill the seats then they will keep croaking out the tunes.
you'd have to pay me $2,000 just to go to a Fleetwood Mac concert
any clues for z's?
I like Fleetwood mac - Kiss, on the other hand? THAT I did for love
would someone please tell Lindsay Buckingham.. he couldn't sing then and he really can't now
z's are all babblets
lots of vowells
actually, ruru, stevie was harder to take - she prattled on and ON and her stories went no where.
I would pay 2k for fleetwood Mac. I would not pay 2K for Kiss;/
... yeah ... but she was cute in 1974
the best part of kiss was seeing the people at the concert.
I'd pay a lot to see Annie Lennox
or David Byrne
or Lady Gaga
I would give a kidney to see David Bowie, my one true love
Annie Lennox .. now that I would go to
... met her at a wedding ... a really nice lady
Stevie Nicks was HAWT in 74:)
you met annie lennox dose?
*Calls National Kidney Donor List*
stevie nicks still believes it is 1074
... she is the cousin of my college roommate's brother's wife ... ...can't get much closer than that
that elevator is not reaching the top floor
Almost family:))
oh.. I think she's incredible.. She just sang and the Grammies and tore the place up. Still amazing
I can still see her on the cover of the Rumors album:)
Though I no longer own the lp:(
i saw an interview with Annie L once and she was extremely well-informed and said the most amazing thoughtful comments that went beyond the normal interview the rock star thing
i saw an interview with Annie L once and she was extremely well-informed and said the most amazing thoughtful comments that went beyond the normal interview the rock star thing
is the last te5 a familiar word?
Just curious, where in the venue were 20 dollar seats for Bon Jovi?
I missed Sinead O Connor in Dublin by one day. Now THAT would have been a good show!
right down front left, molly - AWESONE seats...company is here
... my last te5 is a latin plural ... ... but I'm still missing four ts and haven't listed
I wonder if William Shattner go Trif her tickets?
there's a latin plural in the middle of the group
I'd pay a lot to see William Shattner also!
te + most of not gain is the last te
thanks!
... yep ... that's after mine
... oh well ... must head to the library ... luck to all
later dose
hi all. coming in and out of the game due to business. so did i miss the Z clues? if so please resend.
ty
larva zo
William Shatner knows a guy...
larva? hmmm. dont know it. zygote is all i can think but not in grid.
mkg the Z's are all vowells
(for the most part)
zygote isn't larva
got two of them. one zo 4 and a zo 5 that is plural.
i knkow zygote isnt larva. trying to find other two zs.
got third zo from the other two with latin plural.
zo5 of or relating to zo4
don't worry mkg.. it's only a gamete! :D
two plurals
got it. ty ty all z words done.
right ruru. off to write contract for a house.
oops one more: missing A word for third column third row A in middle of grid. any clues?
A little fertilization humor from the peanut gallery
LOL
I have a fertile sense of humor
mkg: middle a - i had to think about it a lot
zygote sounds Yiddish anyway
remember it, mkg the al5
al 5.........i have one of those but from other a. so not sure.
zygote sounds like gazunt.........
ruru where do you live?
al5 battle fought in what is now a shrine in New Mexico
what does gazunt mean? That's a new one for me
Hence Harp's clue...remember it
I live in Napa Valley mkg
aldaviecrockett
and dont forget the alimoney
No clue about gazunt unless it's a bad spelling of gesundheit
i'll have to ask her another time I guess
sounds like a bad name for a chocolate bar
No, that zagnut:)
well I already have peanuts.. might as well add chocolate :D

well I would peg my hopes on that as well
wasn't trying to drive you batty :D
that joke is a bit long in the tooth, ru:)
we may have bled this dry...
I love your sarcophagus like humor
Like bursting out into spontaneous laughter at a funeral, it has grave consequences
how do you know when a vampire has a cold?
do tell..
the thing about making people laugh at a funeral.. you have to urn those laughs
well.. the first clue is they're always coffin..
<--now doing BR jokes t
I think you have done the jokes to death, boys
it is not death that bothers me, it is all that laying in the ground so long that is a tad unsettling. Would rather be cremated, but i have yet to urn it:) told the mors just to put my ashes in an egg timer. I will never be late again;)
Mrs*
sa5-6?
crossies jokes never decease to amaze me
May I borrow that thought, crossy? It describes me perfectly!
I was only good for three minutes in life, so why should that change in death:))
In fact I was late to something today!
it's an oceanic invertebrate harp
hm
<--studied marine biology
in the tunicate family .. they're clear and translucent
s + high mountains in Switzerland?
sa4. your squishy friend

What do men who take Viagra call...never mind...
(I bet Mick Jagger could've gotten that one....)
<--doesn't have Viagra prescriptions
one left
generic viagara name: willy nilly
Just as well, ru;at 25 dollars a pill it gets pretty expensive:-)
wow.. really? holy cow
yikes..
Besides, it says on the box 'up to 4 hours of enhancement'... i still have no ideawhat to do with the other 3 hours and 55 minutes:-)
I was going to say.. what about the last three hours .. sounds uncomforatble
uncomfortable
Lol
someone I know who takes it says it makes everything seem tinted blue.
Smurf sex
done!

Yaa for harp!

I will not break my johnson in half for anyone!!!!

Taking viagra is like putting a new flagpole on a condemed building

not without multiple assistants, anyway. blush
What's going on here!
y* ?
prescriptive medicine talk hego .. of course
Sorry, hego, we got carried away
Can't leave you boys alone for a minute.
sharing is caring
"If your Babble addiction lasts more than four hours, call your doctor...."
:D
hahaha
there seems to be stiff competition for the chat
Nothing. Everything is quite flaccid
LOL
Just pack it in ice
Molly says you're all talk
pack it in ice.. what?.. you want a pricksicle?
Oh, no, he didn't say that...
oh.. ok
Pills make the heart race.
oh.. they do?
You're sure it's the pills, Crossy.
can you bounce dimes off it crossy?
Lol,maybe it is the kama sutra instructin manual... worse than putting together ikea furniture
I have this sudden urge to play some Limp Bizkit
snort!
hello all
em7?
Hear they are working on a female v pill:-)
I do not see either of the 7's. help pls
hi Peri
em7b and po7 according to early chat
really for erect breasts?
em was clued before jmully
what!
po7 is a grapefruit
Not sure ru, we will just have tobwait and see whatpops up
peri po is a fruit.
got the po7 ty
crossy let us know how you make out.
well.. it might make something easier to find :D
found the em7 too
(how thin is that ice here nowadays?) :D
:D
*can't wait for the comments on this discussion later*
Oh i am sue it will be interesting
Bad boys....
At least it is all in good fun for the most part
Of course.
we aren't supposed to have FUN here.. it's forbidden
Hell with that noise
nonsense
right Crossy
argh duh got the em6/7 and po6/7 .. ty
If someone does not like it,we wil, tone it down. If they still do not likeit then turn off the chat
good work jm
"If they still do not likeit then turn off the chat"...great advice...seldom taken...
Yup.game has an off button as it were
Don't let the door hit you,etc.
Though in saying that i do try tokeep things rated pg
We do get some young babblers in here now and again:-)
HA! They could teach us a thing or two!
and on cue walks in the younger babbler...
Seems like most of the young ones are trolls lately, with names that are questionable at best
hi asd
Power nap time for crossy... now where is that lil blue pill...poink!
:)
'perchance to dream,aye there's the rub'
:)
Later.....
that was a master stroke jm
can i get clues for the 7's?
I've suddenly made sense of so much
po6/7 is some odd citrus i never heard of, and its plural
it's a grapefruit crosse, thick-skinned, grapefruit-sized and sweet.
em6/7: an empath would pale at the thought; and it's past tense
rr as clues one uses whatever comes to hand
Help! Most times when I come out of the grid for a time I lose words, which I don't immediately notice, or remember for that matter, and I am going backwards instead of hitting the finishing line. I refresh and I hope it puts them back but don't know for sure. Then it happens again and again. Aaargh.....
This is a flaw in the program. Try refreshing every time you leave. If you don't refresh before you leave, you WILL lose words from your word list. It happened to me a lot before I figured out the refresh before you leave thing.
Oh Molly thanks so much. I thought I was being daft. Will do as you say.
You can also copy and paste your word list into a Word document, but that is very time consuming.
mael
Ignore that dyslectic attempt please. Sorry!
Not a word, but a player, and she gets the Queen For A Day tiara.
queen for a day..?.. wow that's an ancient reference
*Admits to remembering ancient things*
I've had a look at the chat archive, and get that the po7 is a type of fruit...but i'm really not seeing it (I have the hair treatment PO6 but it's nowt to do with that, methinks)
it's not one i heard of before. rhymes with pamela
Cheers
Good Afternoon, Everyone.
... think the french word for apple ... it will get you to a po6 ... which when pluralled is a po7
thanks dose, I tried the po 6 several times, but it wouldn't "stick" until now, after I put the po 7 in. (not sure why that happens....)
That usually happens because of a misspelling. Words that work in the grid always stick
Then it's my computer, huh?
If I enter a word & it doesn't take; I slow down & try retyping it again. But there are times it just seems to work if I enter the pl or the PT before the base word sticks
... or my usual trick of flashing fingers which type faster than the keys can respond but I see the letters appear whether they're there or not
Never heard that one before Nef. Could be an autocorrect malfunction. It's really better to turn that off when playing here.
... or I see a word which is so obvious that I go on to the next more difficult word believing that I've typed the first ... which of course can never be found again until much much later ... because I know that I typed it
I suppose it could be autocorrect; I try to turn it off, but it seems to prefer being on all the time.
... oh well ... there's three quarters ... maybe some more after dinner ... luck to all ...
and dose; I'm as guilty of skipping those simple words too
It's always a good idea to look at your ADD WORD box after you have typed in a word, to see if you have typed it in correctly. No need to race here.
who has that much time molly?
I like to get in.. and get er done
the grid that is
I'm glad you explained that ruru
Just realised that apart from missing words I have experienced several of the 'odd actions' you mention. Could it be that they have deliberately programmed an 'obstacle course' into Babble. Would make the game last longer and us more observant. Or MAD!
the only odd actions I've seen around here are..oh never mind
No odd actions (other than the ones Ru was about to mention) The program is old and is not getting regular maintenance.
Ru, who has that much time? Perhaps the people who read chat from flip to 11:59.
BBL, need to help DH for a while (he has a new computer & he's arguing with it).
Hi Patx
Hello Bichon x
loto
Swear Swear Swear. I just cannot do chat and play. DOH! So sorry
No worries Pat, worse crimes happen here.
*puts out bible in front of Patxxx*
*looks in PB for worse crimes list*
It wasn't even a word. Chillaxe
it is probably a foreign coin somewhere that loto.. bichon :D
Thank you MollyL and Ruru. I could blame the inattention on the cat as he is trying to persuade me he hasn't been fed all week. I hoped it might be a word when I typed so the crime was with intent and neglect. I think!!! ?
Oh cool. Bich is all hip with the internet lingo.
It's a new word in the OED too
well... then.. with "intent".. that sounds way more serious
So often 'New and Modern COOL' words turn out to have a medieval period origin.
I am stalling doing more housework
pretends it doesn't exist
Go vacuum, Ruru.
I have to build shelves in the garage and mop the floors.. done vacuuming.. the floors get more action than I do :D
True for all of us. :(
Why not hire a cleaning service?
I will at my new house.. this one is small so not such a big deal normally.. it's just so nice out that I'd rather do something else
of course.
*Weeps for the downtrodden house cleaner*
I'm finished. My brain, or what passes for it, is tired. Still got 29. Ta for the tips x
Don't weep, they make a good buck.
*doesn't believe molly for one second*
Buy pat.
*Cheers for anyone who can afford a cleaning service* *Looks at dishpan hands*
go 5/16, pls
Mine have been with me since the 80"s.
I've had my hands since birth hego
*Dreams of hired help*
silly
:D
I have a gardener.. does that count?
and soon a pool/hot tub guy.. and a part time house cleaner
There you go!
Thinking about a cute little French maid
Bon soir Monsieur Ruru.. let me dust you
Molly, theyy only come here once every 2 weeks.
HAHA
Your maid comes in the soir?
(was careful to put the word "here" in that sentence.)
He dreams Bichon.
If I'm lucky bichon :D
*checks censor rating*
alright .. back to housework.. thanks for the laughs
have fun
whoooo ..lots of fun..
go 5, pls

go 5 sounds like the creature from lord of the rings (the original ring bearer)

It's a purple flower lalapalooza

Another non word!

oldel
Ah, heck. I'm going to go fix dinner; not making much progress here
ever notice that no matter how odd a accidentally posted word look you will still try it anyways? lol
I remember the horrors of evil tasting instant taters from my your. recently we picked up some Idohoan brand instant tates, and I must say that they have come a long way with dried spuds:) For 79 cents a bag you cannot go wrong with keep a few packs stowed in the cupboard:)
from my youth*
