hi, all, I believe I have found my niche as a blogger. I blog about frugality, organizing, and saving money, like many other bloggers, but I also blog from the perspective of someone who has special needs, and I want to help others with special needs learn to organize and save money, for the issues they face that most people do not think about.

12:40 am

It is Latin and Enable picks and chooses the Latin it will allow

5:23 am

Phantom : Styrene.

5:24 am

It's sad when you have to look up someone's phantom. I have never leaned in the chemistry direction.

5:25 am

Ah but it is good to learn new words!

5:26 am

Just to clarify, sad meaning my lack of knowledge, not sad in any way relating to Zoom.

5:27 am

Although now saying that I often look up a word once entered and it has been forgotten by the next day.Well mostly all of them lol

5:30 am

I only remember that word, Molly, as it normally has 'poly' at the beginning :-)

5:34 am

I find that words I don't see or use on a regular basis are more likely to fade from memory.

5:35 am

Good morning.

5:35 am

It looks like my knowledge of todays 'i' words is severely lacking!

5:35 am

Hello, Sukee :-)

I remember how cold and sore I was last winter, my bedroom is cold.

7:32 am

then an electric blanket is a great idea.

7:32 am

I was debating between a heated mattress pad and blanket, but I eventually get hot in bed so I think a blanket is the best choice.

11:55 am

iaoldfart

11:56 am

damn it

11:56 am

hahaha ru!

11:56 am

has anyone else noticed quite a lot of words entered and accepted, then missing later? since we have had so many smaller grids lately, I have been missing many...

11:57 am

that's been happening to some players TK.. Temple owl complains about it all the time

11:57 am

h'mm.. happens all the time to me, but I chalk it up to having "thought" it but not entered it..

11:57 am

I have seen it happen to me every once in a long while

11:57 am

yes yes yes I refresh every 10 minutes or so, words seem to dance and then disappear!

11:58 am

I know what the problem is though

11:58 am

I have been very careful watching that the words are accepted...mostly because I can be a very bad typist so I watch for the little green bar...

11:58 am

because when I do my initial trip through the grid, I type rapidly.. so I blame myself for a typo, but, yes.. I shake my head and say.. I could have sworn I entered that!

11:58 am

what is it? bated breath

11:59 am

some words just can't commit :D

11:59 am

what is the problem ruru? since we have had these smaller grids, I have had more time to pay attention and remember wrods already done...

11:59 am

ohhhhh

11:59 am

:D

11:59 am

reaching for a groan?

12:00 pm

makes me want to commit hari kari...

hello....

5:23 pm

*Listens to the HELLO echo of the empty walls

hello

5:24 pm

hi...

5:26 pm

of the empty walls? Long day, can't spell

5:26 pm

there is something poetic about that...

5:28 pm

Well that's good. There was nothing poetic about the day. : D

5:29 pm

my day was fine....only did Tai Chi.....lunch out....read a lot....gotta love retirement.... ;o)

5:30 pm

oh...i did register my car.... my big accomplishment for the day....

5:33 pm

I didn't know you were retired, Pen. You often say you are "in the helping profession" so I assumed you were still working.

5:33 pm

oh i take on an occasional evaluation but that's all....retired from full time work in 2008....retired early and have never regretted it...

5:36 pm

i am done.....the hot fudge word was my last one....should have found that earlier!

wtg pen! Could you please clue the other su 6/30?

nm, found it

5:41 pm

too late... sorry....

np, I just pulled a peri is all

fireworks for me too. Amazing how much of a difference it makes if I'm struggling with find words if I walk away and come back, they're staring me in the face lol

"finding"

5:44 pm

congrats!

5:45 pm

yes, also frustrating to see how many words i thought i had entered on the ipad are not there!

ty

5:46 pm

Words being entered correctly and then disappearing later is becoming a problem here.

5:49 pm

i think i have to be more observant when using the ipad....i have a tendency to enter words as fast as i can when i start.....need to make sure they were entered correctly...

5:50 pm

Oh, I see Pen. I was talking about a different problem then. I don't race through this game, and I always check the word box before and after I enter a word. Yet, if I don't constantly refresh, words disappear from my word list.

5:52 pm

the ipad is tricky because of the word fill feature...

5:53 pm

is

5:56 pm

are...

5:56 pm

est sunt

5:59 pm

etre... ;o)

6:13 pm

us?

6:14 pm

us 5/12?

6:15 pm

i was going to say....them.....lol

6:15 pm

us + not far, ***r....

6:16 pm

tvm, pen!

6:20 pm

yw...

7:05 pm

my words stay put once I put them in.. but then I threaten them to not leave too.

7:22 pm

ah yes....the power of the threat....

7:25 pm

I always thought ruru would be more inclined to just tie them up. :^)

7:25 pm

And hi all.

7:26 pm

well.. there's that too

7:27 pm

I like to strap my words carefully

7:27 pm

I am sure your words enjoy that very much, ruru.

7:29 pm

I'm getting hungry for dinner.. good luck wht.. how's the grandchild doing?

7:31 pm

Baby and mom are doing well. He is the mellowest baby ever. The thunderstorms the other day didn't bother him in the least.

7:38 pm

Great very exciting.

7:38 pm

this is your first correct?

7:38 pm

Yes, my first.

7:38 pm

And Fireworks now.

7:39 pm

congrats on both kid and fw

7:39 pm

:D

7:46 pm

Good night all.

8:03 pm

found a bunny

8:11 pm

evening all!

8:14 pm

hi...

8:15 pm

Wow...a bunny...

8:17 pm

a rodent, really

8:19 pm

An ha4 is a rodent?

8:19 pm

yes mam

8:20 pm

the beaver is one too

8:21 pm

From Wikipedia...Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. Hares are classified into the same family as rabbits and are of similar size, form, and diet as rabbits.

8:23 pm

also from Wikipediarecent DNA analysis and the discovery of a common ancestor has supported the view that they share a common lineage, and thus rabbits and rodents are now often referred to together as members of the superorder Glires...

8:24 pm

lol, babble is so educational.

8:25 pm

also....Is a rabbit a rodent? No, rabbits and hares are members of the family Leporidae, one of the two families (the other is the Ochotonidae or pika family) in the order Lagomorpha. However, had this question been asked over 100 years ago, the answer would have been ‘yes’. ....oxford dictionary...

8:26 pm

the internet is a wonderful thing... :oD

8:26 pm

Oh wow, I'm out of here now. I'm not pedantic enough to keep up with this conversation.

8:26 pm

*thinking that i need these breaks from knitting*....

8:27 pm

hah!

8:27 pm

i was planning to use the Internet to figure out who I know that has cheated on their partner. You guys are so much more earthly purposed....

8:28 pm

do you know celebrities?.... ;o)

8:29 pm

no but aren't small town mayors and ministers on the list too?

8:29 pm

i have no idea what list you are referring to...

8:30 pm

I might know a celebrity or two, but they haven't told me they were celebrities.

8:32 pm

pen, a website for adultery got hacked. People join specifically in order to cheat. The hacker posted the list of names somewhere. A few famous people, and infamous, have been outed.

8:33 pm

ah...news to me...

9:03 pm

the one that cracks me up is that duggar asswipe

9:04 pm

did you see his mea culpa? Apparently Satan had built a fortress in his heart

9:06 pm

te6 anybody?

9:07 pm

te 6....number + Lo*** Armstrong....

9:07 pm

number after nine + America with a vowel in the middle

9:07 pm

better clue ms quis

9:07 pm

ty... ;o)

9:08 pm

built a fortress in his groin is more like it dan 2

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

9:09 pm

congrats!

9:24 pm

df

9:24 pm

sorry....blame the knitting needle...

9:34 pm

heading out....g'nite to all who remain.....

My final two are de6/27 and da5/14. Any clues?

9:41 pm

Good evening, everybody:) thought I would peck away at this grid for a bit. However, be warned that I am typing on the tablet, so anything could pop up:)

9:42 pm

Nachrs, think of a little yellow bird, bu pop the de in front instead

Perfect Crossy! What about the da5?

9:47 pm

Still need that one myself:)

Oy!

9:48 pm

hello dear friends. grumpy as hell here - hiding from the two battling warrior queens in the other room....when does school start again?

9:49 pm

You mean your ex-husband?

9:49 pm

hahahahaah - no, his heinous offspring. entitled princess nightmares driving me NUTS

9:51 pm

(wondering why i didn't sign up for Warrior Queening when I had the chance....)

9:51 pm

because your mother couldn't stand the sound of it?

9:52 pm

children are the ultimate conundrum - they amaze you in a good way, and astound you in the worst way.

Could someone put me out of my misery with da5? For fireworks?

9:53 pm

Tell her to babble trif. We have had a lot of "entitled" people pass through this game

9:53 pm

Da5 is a flower

9:54 pm

no way! this is where I go to get away from them!!!

9:54 pm

Starts like lentil

It's the one after the flower.

9:55 pm

Plural of lentil

OMG! Thanks Ruru! Finally! I once was blind but now can see!

9:57 pm

Yw

10:01 pm

this grid is way too hard

10:02 pm

It isn't that bad trif

10:02 pm

im intrigued by your status, ruru...hmmmmmm

10:03 pm

Status?

10:03 pm

profile?

10:03 pm

Oh

10:04 pm

Just a little shot at a troublemaker

10:04 pm

pink or blue?

10:05 pm

Blue

10:05 pm

hmmm....now I am double curious!

10:07 pm

do we have a list for today?

10:08 pm

Yes

10:08 pm

ok. guess I will grab it. so funny how looking at the list suddenly makes words appear....

10:09 pm

I hope I never get on your nerves, ruru....I promise I try not to!

10:10 pm

I truly doubt that trif

10:11 pm

which - that I try not to? or that I get on your nerves?

10:11 pm

That you would ever get on my nerves. Not likely.

10:12 pm

lol....depends on who you ask! I have butted heads with a couple of babblers in the past....of course, they WERE butt heads, so what could a gal do?

10:14 pm

oh.. I've had mine too

10:14 pm

ugh, It never fails - get the list, instantly "see" 20 words that have been sitting there the whole time.

10:15 pm

there are a lot of sensitive subjects around here and I tend to make fun of all of them.. so it's only a matter of time before I piss someone off

10:15 pm

told you it was easy

10:15 pm

my biggest pain in the ass here doesn't play anymore.. so it's been really nice since

10:16 pm

I think my worst was a real have at it with a certain dog lover from across the pond.

10:16 pm

excellent!

10:16 pm

ah.. yes.. mr. rescue

10:16 pm

yes, mr. rescue, but attack other humans - effing charming, that one!

10:17 pm

yes.. he was legendary that's for sure

10:17 pm

I think he was completely off his rocker that one

10:18 pm

um....yeah.

10:18 pm

the worst part for me, is that I think he scared off the nice lady he attacked....and she truly was lovely

10:18 pm

and his minions

10:19 pm

10 to go

10:19 pm

ms fake cheese.. nancy boy,...etc

10:19 pm

ms fake cheese?

10:19 pm

yeah harp.. knock them down

10:19 pm

fauxmage

10:19 pm

poor nancy boy.....

10:19 pm

oh her

10:20 pm

poor nancy boy?

10:20 pm

go harp go!

10:20 pm

go harp go!

10:20 pm

he passed away, ruru....

10:20 pm

trif.. he never existed

10:20 pm

he was a fake

10:20 pm

though there are some here who claim that wasn't true, that he never existed anyway

10:20 pm

is that true? confirmed?

10:21 pm

his icon photos were of a Japanese famous actor

10:21 pm

it is confirmed.

10:21 pm

oh no way! what a bummer

10:21 pm

Ill believe anything.

10:21 pm

I checked every county in England for a death of a young male (Asian) in that time frame. not one person died under 54 years of age anywhere in England

10:22 pm

well, that just confirms what it says in my profile - maybe I am really a death row inmate in texas. you never can tell.

10:22 pm

his photos were of an actor called jun masimoto.. look it up

10:23 pm

there was one, like 10 years ago, also. I think he name was anime?

10:23 pm

the whole thing was made up.

10:23 pm

oh holy shit!!!!!

10:23 pm

bingo!!!

10:24 pm

there are so many babblers I have met here and rarely seen since they were active players that I really miss...tragic stud, and the lady who was a solider over in spain - I always forget her name...she was so great

10:24 pm

he had all the old biddies here running in circles

10:24 pm

well. .I exist. I have met over ten babblers so far

10:25 pm

lol - I babble with half my family, so you know WE are real!

10:25 pm

yeah.. you're probably all on death row :D

10:25 pm

I did hear a rumor at the time that mr. rescue was behind the nancyboy circus....

10:25 pm

is the last te6 a familiar word?

10:25 pm

yes..

10:25 pm

that's what many surmise

10:26 pm

it is a group of whacked out gay English guys who like to prey upon people with their made up stories and fake identities. Babble is a great playground for that

10:26 pm

for some reason i missed that whole thing

10:26 pm

I don't have it as yet, harp, all apologies

10:26 pm

It's amazing what people believe that goes on here

10:27 pm

what a strange thing to have happened.....

10:27 pm

well, they had me fooled!

10:27 pm

yes.. it was really eye opening

10:27 pm

Babble seems like an unlikely group, since we very rarely ever actually meet up.

10:27 pm

that's not really true harp

10:28 pm

lots of players meet each other

10:28 pm

and there was some case of us collecting money for someone, I can't even remember whom - and it got stolen or something, right?

10:28 pm

I did try to meet up with you and Jilly too.. never worked out

10:28 pm

I just met JMC and Kje in sf last weekend

10:29 pm

yes.. that was a fund-raising idea for mr. P.. created by Wildcat and Crossy

10:30 pm

I know, I meant that it's a bad place to troll for illicit activities. Unless tea and a recital has become illicit!

10:30 pm

but the money (most of it anyway) never made it to mr. p.. where it all went.. is kind of up in the air

10:30 pm

wow, seriously, some weird funk has gone on, now that I think about it. but also some really lovely stuff too.

10:30 pm

oh sure.. lots of nice people here

10:30 pm

I know ruru, I'm sorry it didn't work out. I would love to show you what kinky fools jilly and I are.....

10:30 pm

but many are toooooo gullible here

10:31 pm

4 to go

10:31 pm

I guess I would be on that list, ruru

10:31 pm

it's fine harp.. another time. My friends want me to come back to big sky next summer

10:31 pm

go harp go! you got this!!!

10:31 pm

yes.. sounds like it trif

10:31 pm

Too bad Enable doesn't take "gullible" ..

10:31 pm

9:30 p.m. and it's already pitch dark outside. Seems like just last week I was on the porch until 10:30.

10:31 pm

Where did you go ruru?

10:31 pm

I'm going back to BC though first

10:31 pm

heyas tor!

10:32 pm

Heyas kids ..

10:32 pm

did I misspell it torg?

10:32 pm

what do you mean harp?

10:33 pm

where did I go in Montana?

10:33 pm

or BC?

10:33 pm

or both?

10:33 pm

It's not in the dictionary ..

10:34 pm

Montana.. I went to Bozeman and then down to Big Sky where I was a speaker and gave a seminar on wine to a bunch of people

10:34 pm

I also went to Yellowstone and Livingston

10:35 pm

in BC.. I went out to Salt Spring Island and had a couple dinners with Bugs, and Saanich, Jillibus and Flosey and assorted hangers on

10:35 pm

sounds fun. you probably met some of my wine loving friends at Big Sky. Were you up on the mountain?

10:35 pm

I cooked one dinner at Jilli's house

10:35 pm

wow, that sounds like an amazing trip ruru!

10:35 pm

yes.. my friends own a lot of land there and have a gigantic place in Big Sky

10:35 pm

done, and thanks for the help!

10:35 pm

or...at least you SAY you went there, ha ha ha

10:35 pm

huzzah for harp!

10:35 pm

we had a great time. Jilli is a hoot

10:36 pm

I destroyed her kitchen though .. she may never forgive me for that.. so I took everyone out to dinner the next night

10:36 pm

ah, yes, a bucket of the colonel fixes everything!

10:37 pm

Ha... no .. we did better than that

10:38 pm

See, now I dont' know.....maybe all this is a lie....

10:39 pm

well.. you can ask flosey or Bugs or Saanich. Jillibus doesn't play babble anymore though

10:39 pm

I cant imagine not playing babble anymore....

10:39 pm

Hmmm.. I could.. but not now.. it's too entertaining for me

10:40 pm

I would definitely notice the lack of you, ruru

10:40 pm

I gave it up for lent once - agony!

10:42 pm

I give it up for lent sometimes. Nobody even misses me.

10:42 pm

r's routed!

10:43 pm

oh deal harpjane - I apologize on behalf of the chog

10:43 pm

I missed you on your last trip harp

10:44 pm

I don't understand the lent thing.

10:45 pm

s's stomped!

10:49 pm

t's trampled, 2 words to go!!!

10:49 pm

fireworks! woot woot

10:50 pm

Hi all --- I came across this new phrase today and just had to share: Electile Dysfunction : The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for PRIME MINISTER put forth by any party in the 2015 election year. Electile Dysfunction : The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for PRIME MINISTER put forth by any party in the 2015 election year Electile Disfunction: The inablity to become aroused over any of the choices for Prime Minister put forth by any party in the 2015 election year.

10:50 pm

thanks for encouraging me to stick with it, ruru!

10:50 pm

nice trif.. did you finish harp?

10:50 pm

your prime minister sounds like a doozy nan

10:50 pm

excellent cybernan! Can I amend it to include presidential candidates as well?

10:51 pm

I would suspect so, Trif

10:52 pm

sorry for the repeat -- must have pasted twice

10:53 pm

okay, with that I am dragging my dragging butt to Bedfordshire. good night all!

10:53 pm

thanks for a drama-free babble day!

10:53 pm

night trif..

10:54 pm

good night trif

10:54 pm

sleep well

10:54 pm

good night

10:56 pm

I don't understand the lent thing either and I am well aware of the practice of "giving something up for lent". I don't believe that a just and loving God has any interest in people "sacrificing: in order to impress him.

11:01 pm

I would think that giving up sex would be easier than giving up babble :D

11:02 pm

although babble is still about "entering" things :D

11:04 pm

fwiw, i don't think the giving up something for lent thing is about "impressing" God.

11:05 pm

it can be about focusing your mind onto what really matters, it can be about participating in some small way in the sacrifices that Jesus made (kind of like how in the 30-hour famine fundraisers, part of the point is to have a slight idea of what it is like for people who are going hungry)

11:05 pm

what is it all about then

11:05 pm

ah

11:05 pm

stuff like that

11:06 pm

I'd be a lousy catholic.. I can't give up anything

11:07 pm

i'm not a catholic myself

11:08 pm

I guess Atheists just have more of their favorite things then :D

11:10 pm

Again, I don't think a just and loving God is interested in people "sacrificing". Just my opinion. It seems many people think that sacrificing is somehow religious.

11:11 pm

I was watching John Oliver about all the priests (televangelists) who suckered their flocks to buy them private jets for millions of dollars.

11:12 pm

I don't believe in god.. so it's all water under the bridge for me.

11:16 pm

if you have any admiration for those who sign up to be soldiers, even when you disagree with the wars they are fighting, then you understand essentially how sacrificing can be seen as a good in some way. you're just having trouble applying it to another realm. but you are capable of associating it with justice and love. if you are like house and think people who become soldiers are stupid and suckers, then, i guess that would be it then. :)

11:17 pm

I can't equate those two concepts hursh

11:18 pm

I don't disrespect people for going to church or believing in god. Many churches do good things for this country and around the world. Some bad churches ruin it for the others.

11:18 pm

being a soldier is a choice

11:19 pm

I have new found admiration for soldiers (I used to be a peacenik) but I disagree with the wars that we are fighting.

11:20 pm

9/11 changed my concept of the military

11:20 pm

Like House? No, that really isn't where I was coming from. I believe in a just and loving God who is not interested in people sacrificing in order to appear religious.

11:21 pm

who is house?

11:21 pm

like House of Representatives?

11:23 pm

No, the reference was to the character of Gregory House of the TV show "House, MD"

11:23 pm

is that a new show? I don't know it

11:24 pm

oh.. I do

11:24 pm

mrs. ru would watch that show.. I didn't know the name of it

11:25 pm

I don't believe that people enlist in the military to prove they are "sacrificing". That is a choice made out of honor and duty. And I have the utmost respect for anyone who does that.

and some enlist because they can't find anything better to support themselves

11:28 pm

The whole Puritan ethic of "we must suffer because Jesus did" doesn't seem right to me. If you believe in the whole "why Jesus suffered and died the way he did" thing...it was because he was saving us from having to suffer in the same way. Why negate that by being penitent?

11:28 pm

I think some are suckered into the military.. but most are like molly said

11:31 pm

People do a lot of things because they can't find anything better to support themselves.

during the regime of bush jr, military recruiters were caught telling grotesque lies to people to get them to sign up

11:35 pm

Oh, I see. This is an anti Bush thing.

it sure ain't a pro-bush thing

11:38 pm

don't look at me.. I'm not sending any xmas cards to texas

11:38 pm

people don't give things up for lent to "prove they are sacrificing" either. well ok, many people probably do, but those are the ones doing it for the wrong reason.

11:38 pm

just go with the "focus your mind" reason if it is the only one that seems understandable.

11:39 pm

ok.. that makes more sense then hursh

11:40 pm

Focusing your mind is a positive thing and doesn't need to have anything to do with sacrifice.

11:45 pm

right so one thing is when you give something up, and you have the urge, to say, have some chocolate that you gave up, then it reminds you to think about more important things

11:45 pm

and so that is how it focuses your mind on things you want to think more about

11:46 pm

it's kinda like a drinking game, except its a thinking game

11:47 pm

I can give up chocolate

11:47 pm

instead of "shot every time the word 'destiny' is used in star wars", it's "pray every time the desire for chocolate comes into your head"

11:47 pm

I can give up a lot of things.. others I can't

now craving chocolate -- thanks 8 - )

11:49 pm

chocolate, chocolate, simply can't do without it...

11:49 pm

remember when monica tried to cook with "mock-olate" on Friends?

11:50 pm

hehehe

5 to go, argh

my guess for next grid: 156
