Arrrggh. Thanks.

3:10 am

Ye4 not the Noes but the ? That will give what makes bread rise!

Cheers Spel. I probably would have eventually got those with stats only - but thanks for the help :) It's funny how it's so easy to get grid blind - trying all the stupid combinations but leaving out the obvious

3:12 am

I want toity as in hoitytoity! But no...

Yeah, I tried that. I also tried the second half of that - the Y is not allowed

3:14 am

Late breakfast now as kettle has boiled!

No, Got the wrong instant porridge - very lazy

7:36 am

River - when will you be back here?

7:37 am

Hooray!!!! Another Babble meet! Whats your itinerary, River?

7:37 am

Sorry to hear about the parents. it puts a strain on you when you have to be in three places at once. I have been there so I know.

7:37 am

Start my vacation on June 14 with a week in Scotland and then 5 days in Ireland. I do not have the Ireland itinerary yet. Coming home on June 27.

7:38 am

Jaxx, happy to hear you are on the mend.

7:39 am

you are very lucky to still have both parents Soodle. Sorry they are failing. My Mom will be 89 in June. She is doing very well.

7:39 am

Oh, hopefully we can meet up again River! I really enjoyed your company last time.

7:40 am

Hi, River. Thank you. There were times when I thought it wasn't worth going on but here I am. I have one more op to 'tidy things up'

7:40 am

I enjoyed yours too....I will let you know as soon as I get it. I do know we fly into Dublin but fly out of Shannon.

Hagd everyone

9:32 am

i'm Calvin Dick

9:32 am

the animal one?

9:32 am

oh, you played prolific right?

9:33 am

You related to Benjamin?

9:33 am

that was FMitch's favorite, nan

9:34 am

I've played a fair bit of prolific. More recently I've only been playing the tournaments but I've dnped enough that I thought I'd take a break. Not related to Ben but am related to Mitch

9:35 am

Mostly I've been playing at serpentine lately

9:35 am

cool...yeah I'm not as big a fan of the dictionary on prolific...bit of an OSPD bigot I guess :)

9:35 am

haven't played serpentine for years

9:36 am

I do enjoy Babble though...as a contrast...fits into my life a bit better

9:36 am

it's a pretty small group of regulars these days

9:36 am

that's too bad

9:37 am

agreed. Babble is pretty fantastic. I think that most of the action is smartphone swiping these days.

9:38 am

There's some awful dictionaries on some of those games

9:38 am

play some scrabble on my phone...that's about it

9:39 am

haha wordament is hilariously weird. still fun though

9:39 am

hello friends

9:40 am

hey trif, how goes?

9:41 am

Does anyone here play Quote Puzzler? It's a bunch of intriguing word games. There are other babblers who play

9:42 am

just fine thank you.

9:42 am

no, haven't come across that one...is it for phone?

9:42 am

final 25

9:43 am

no, not at all. just play it on my laptop

9:44 am

yep. I like the format too - similar to serpentine but no limit on the number of players. there's usually 7-800 people playing

9:45 am

oh you were talking to bich

9:46 am

that's QuotePuzzler?

9:47 am

oh, I torgone in in charge of the puzzles again! Ti4s everywhere! That rascal!

I enjoy lexulous - speed scrabble - 4 minutes against the clock

9:57 am

I don't do well in timed games. That's my problem in Quote puzzler

9:58 am

oh bichon - I am pathetic compared to some other players who score over 800 - I can barely get 400

9:59 am

I like Scrabble as long as I can take my time

9:59 am

i still cant find the 9 - any clues ?

9:59 am

ursh what site is speed scrabble on?

10:00 am

Apparently, I am lacking in the free time department. I can barely keep up with this game.

10:21 am

10:21 am

10:40 am

cr+vowel+half of Mr Mandela's first name

10:41 am

and plural

10:47 am

mortified to hear that a white rhino was poached in a French animal reserve and it's horn chainsawed off - really thought it was only an African problem

10:47 am

almost esoteric

10:47 am

sorry...in the board, not on the rhino

10:48 am

It appears the Chinese government is finally trying to crack down on it...

10:48 am

so hopefully we'll start to see a reduction

10:50 am

mool it is so awful here - we lose a rhino every day to poaching for their horns and some of them ore not even dead and left to die the most horrific death

10:52 am

the poachers are now using "silent" dart guns so they are not heard and the rhino dies from blood loss and suffocation by their own weight on their lungs :(

10:53 am

so horrific :-(

10:54 am

This is so hard to hear.

10:55 am

very sad. I was reading the other day about a reserve I think in Kenya which is now using thermal imaging to try and spot the poachers

10:55 am

When there's no more rhino, what will they kill next

10:55 am

bbiab

10:57 am

elephants

10:57 am

then sharks

10:57 am

I guess they already do that

10:58 am

it makes me sick!

I did like yours tho mol

11:22 am

I am a birder, so it was the first thing that came to mind

11:23 am

disappointing when you miss the plurals

11:32 am

I found st 7

11:35 am

time to go to court then

12:01 pm

hello...

1:14 pm

pen?

1:16 pm

not important anyway..

1:18 pm

I have a non Babble question for anyone who is paying attention to chat. I was wondering if anyone knows where in the US, I wold be able to get a cd player that I can use my earphones with? no wi fi no Bluetooth no radio or mp3 just a cd player and a place to plug in the earphones? any ideas? I do have a portable cd player discman but that's it...

1:19 pm

i am here....

1:19 pm

i would suggest checking on eBay...

1:19 pm

I didn't say hello to you before as I had intended to got distracted

1:20 pm

Can you not get earphones that plug into the cd player that you already have?

1:20 pm

i haven't used ebay for quite some time

1:20 pm

no problem.... i was doing other things....

1:20 pm

wvo have two cd player radio etc now that are both broken and we haven't gotten them fixed so i assume i have to get a new one.

1:21 pm

wv the earphones are the easy part:)

1:21 pm

had to get anything repaired these days...

1:21 pm

one of the cd players i have is a 5 cd changer but they don't seem to last long

1:21 pm

meant "hard"....

1:22 pm

very true pen

1:22 pm

so you really need to get a cd player that comes with earphones

1:22 pm

i wouldn't know where to take them ot get them repaired but figured buying a new one if i can find one might be somewhat cheaper and easier

1:22 pm

wv earphone jack

1:23 pm

unfortunately it seems to be cheaper to get something new than to get the old thing repaired

1:24 pm

wv yep :)

1:24 pm

earphone jacks are generally one of two different sizes....smaller and larger... ;o) .... i think you can even get an attachment, perhaps at Radio Shack, that will convert one size to the other...

1:25 pm

i use earphones with my discman now

1:25 pm

so far it seems i have to get another disk man if i want to use earphones

1:25 pm

they are the smaller size then....

1:25 pm

how big a CD player are you looking for?

1:26 pm

i have had an attachment to change the size and i can get one if need be

1:26 pm

i don't need anything huge and would prefer it plays one cd not multiple

1:27 pm

some of the boom boxes don't seem to have earphone jacks as often as they used to

1:27 pm

then why isn't your disc man good enough for you?

1:28 pm

it is but its not going to last forever and i would prefer a cd player have done both boom box and cd players

1:28 pm

and with something like a disc man you never know how much longer they will be available

1:31 pm

do you have something like a Best Buy near you?

1:31 pm

battery life on them i snot long either

1:31 pm

i have looked at Walmart lately and nothing including online

1:32 pm

best buy is about a half hour from here or so

1:32 pm

i just googled "portable CD players" and Walmart came up....they have a lot of disc man type players....

1:33 pm

there are a lot of options at Best Buy....i checked by googling again....

1:35 pm

i suggest you go to the store and talk to a clerk....if you don't see what you are looking for, ask the clerk to check if something else is available online at Best Buy....

1:39 pm

pen yes I just checked best buy again too some possibilities but some are too expensive

hi

1:40 pm

Hi...

1:40 pm

pen yes portable cd players I can get but I want a cd player for home not portable unless I have to

1:40 pm

brb

1:40 pm

there appear to be quite a few reasonably priced...

this is manisha

manisha

1:42 pm

pen gotta keep searching:)

1:43 pm

first column greyed:)

1:44 pm

there are a couple boom boxes that are around $35 or $40....i doubt you will find a cheaper player unless it is a disc man...

1:44 pm

hi manisha...

doing you like me

1:45 pm

pen yeah I am beginning to think a cd player by itself might not happen.

hi

manisha

manisha

1:46 pm

not unless you get a disc man....boom boxes will have other stuff like FM radio....

1:46 pm

I would find what you like and then search for it on eBay...

1:46 pm

pen that's true

1:47 pm

1:49 pm

hi lorena thanks:)

Hello :)

hi lorena...

1:51 pm

true pen but whats the point if I don't use the other things on it ?

1:51 pm

the point is....does it give you what you want?....and is the price reasonable for what you want?....you won't get penalized for not using all of the features...

1:52 pm

or just buy another disc man....there are plenty of cheap ones out there...

1:52 pm

pen yep they are cheap

1:52 pm

3:29 pm

3:35 pm

you can make bl7.36 though

3:36 pm

both ways in fact

3:46 pm

Love your profile biog, Lynn! All Babblers should be grateful to you :-)

3:48 pm

hey Soodle, nice to see you again

3:49 pm

Thank you Lynn for the Etui thing! Lol!

3:51 pm

I was admiring this embroidery (doesn't look good at all in this picture), then I saw it was an etui so had to put it up here.

3:53 pm

My Sarah, currently holidaying in Sydney, is sending me snapchats of herself wearing a hat with correspondence

3:53 pm

damn auto correct..... a hat with corks dangling off it....

3:54 pm

I wondered what on earth you were talking about!

3:54 pm

She is really getting in touch with the real Australia (sarcastic font)

3:55 pm

Is she doing the backpacker thing or just out here for a few weeks?

3:55 pm

Get this ... she is there for 6 days!!

3:56 pm

which just goes to show how fares have reduced! wow!

3:56 pm

is she at least going to NZ as well?

3:58 pm

2 full days to get there, 2 full days to get home & about 4 full days in Oz!

3:58 pm

crazy

3:58 pm

Meh! Youth is seriously wasted on the young!

4:01 pm

Still - she made use of every minute there (dangly cork hat, petting kangaroos, cocktails at the Opera House) she is having a blast!

4:04 pm

petting kangaroos!...should I tell you now about the female jogger who was pushed to the ground and badly clawed up by a kangaroo a month or so ago...or should I wait till Sarah is back on the plane?

4:05 pm

Perhaps you should defer that for about /4

4:05 pm

Perhaps you should defer that for about /4

4:05 pm

24, hours, Lynn, if possible....

4:07 pm

lol - it was a very rare event - everyone was gobsmacked

4:09 pm

and I hope she sees a co5.12 (misspelt again!) although certainly she shouldn't cuddle one of those)

4:10 pm

She DID get bitten by a spider or some sort of creepy-crawly. When I asked if it was poisonous, she said we'll have to wIt & see, won't we'?

4:11 pm

'WAit'

4:12 pm

she sounds as though she has her head screwed on and will seek med assist if it flares up. The red back and white tails are the ones to worry about - though antidotes readily available

hello all

4:14 pm

hi Owl

hi lyn

4:16 pm

Hey Owl :-)

hello soodle

4:21 pm

I'm a total Babble failure! I started this puzzle about 12 hours ago & I still have 76 words o find. I give up. Lovely chatting to you Lynn, cheerio TempleOwl.

4:22 pm

ditto Soodle - bye

night soodle

real

4:29 pm

oh the shame of it...my second last word is FMs favourite little creature

oh my, i didn't even see it!

i feel terrible that I missed her anniversary last year. I generally change my icon to one.

4:33 pm

she has gone but I think quite a few of us will never forget her - she was very special

and you know, when i sent her a card when she was in hospital, she would send me one back!

4:34 pm

Anyway a lovely cool morning here so no excuse in not getting to gym...see you later

ah yes, i still feel my tuesday workout. have fun@

4:41 pm

I remember FM!

4:45 pm

4:47 pm

oh, she went to the gym. will keep looking

4:47 pm

End the other bl7 with a man's neck wear

4:48 pm

ty Molly

4:48 pm

It is one of those Scot words most of us have never heard of.

4:54 pm

what does gobsmacked mean

4:57 pm

being smacked...by a gob

4:57 pm

Flabbergasted

4:58 pm

I wonder what flabber is

4:58 pm

german I would guess

4:58 pm

Not sure, but apparently it gets gasted

4:59 pm

sounds painful

4:59 pm

The technical definition is utterly astonished, astounded. It is a very dramatic word.

5:00 pm

indeed

5:00 pm

hyperbolic almost

5:01 pm

still have 7 left, and I'm completely flabbergasted

5:18 pm

I was watching Harry Potter and those kids talked about being gobsmacked, and I had no idea what they meant. And keep in mind, I spend several years living in England as a kid.

5:20 pm

I think there are some terms that are local to certain parts of countries. For example, here in these united states, there are several was to refer to soft drinks, depending on what part of the country you are in.

5:21 pm

Several ways

5:21 pm

I say soda.

5:22 pm

Right, I do too. We are from the same regional part of the country. Elsewhere they say tonic (New England) soda pop (out west) and Co-cola (for all soft drinks) down south.

5:32 pm

And sub sandwiches...lots of variation on those too

5:38 pm

I say subs. Unless we're talking about authentic hoagies from the Jersey shore area, and those are hoagies.

5:38 pm

Philly is where hoagies are really from ;)

5:38 pm

yes, true.

5:39 pm

Also unique to the Philly/ Jersey shore lingo: fried dough (not funnel cakes), cheesesteak (not steak n cheese) and PIES (not pizza).

5:40 pm

and macaroni and gravy

5:40 pm

and let's (not) forget about scrapple

5:40 pm

I thought that was Balmer, mac n gravy or fries n gravy

5:41 pm

scrapple GROSS! My mom is from Philly and she was always cooking that disgusting thing.

5:41 pm

great soft pretzels in philly too

5:41 pm

who put the crap in scrapple?

5:41 pm

Oh yes indeed, love the soft pretzels. Also Taylor Pork Roll.

5:41 pm

and the Kielbasa is pretty good also

5:42 pm

Here in Virginia, they pronounce it Kiel-bossy

5:42 pm

heh

5:42 pm

America has great cuisine

5:43 pm

From Jumbalaya to Chowder and everything in between

5:43 pm

Barbecue, shrimp n grits, pizza, tacos

5:44 pm

Pit Beef, garlic fries

5:44 pm

hush puppies

5:44 pm

deep fried pickles

5:45 pm

chili & cornbread

5:45 pm

was just about to say chili

5:45 pm

haaaaaaaaa are you hungry moo?

5:45 pm

chicago dogs and italian beef

5:45 pm

I wish, have some sort of flu thingy going

5:46 pm

Italian sausage & peppers on a bun at the ball park

5:46 pm

Buffalo wings

5:46 pm

Fried oysters

5:47 pm

Key lime pie

5:47 pm

Sorry you are sick, moo. You must have a strong stomach.

5:48 pm

well not nauseous fortunately

5:48 pm

That's good

5:48 pm

but harder to concentrate

5:48 pm

this morning I asked my wife where the honey was and it was right in front of me

5:49 pm

makes babbling a little tougher

5:49 pm

Maybe you have a fever?

5:50 pm

moderate one if any

5:50 pm

Well I'm off to clean up the kitchen, only 151 left to find. Dammit.

5:50 pm

have fun

5:52 pm

ha! You too :) Feel better

5:57 pm

I had the nauseous thing covered the other day. Hit me like a ton of bricks. I've been on crackers and broth ever since.

5:58 pm

bleh, sorry to hear that

5:59 pm

sorry to hear that Molly, hope you feel better soon

6:18 pm

Oh thanks you two. I'm feeling much better now.

8:32 pm

I am tired of what passes for winter here :-) The first one we have really had in years.

8:37 pm

Yeah, we're just now now getting back into some warmer weather.

8:40 pm

We're kinda wimpy around here :-)

8:44 pm

spend some time up here and no one could ever call you wimpy

8:47 pm

the windchill makes it feel like -19F here right now

8:50 pm

NO THANK YOU! I was raised in the SF Bay Area. anything outside of 60F to 80F is too cold or hot for me. Wish I still lived there!

8:54 pm

Off to play with the wild ones. Back in a bit.

11:17 pm

;D Great ... police action out front. See ya'll later

11:18 pm

stay safe orig

11:27 pm

oh sorry harp had stepped away from computer. Where you going to be ?

11:28 pm

bicycling in Capetown, Garden Route and Little Karoo. Then a photo safari in ZuluNatal, near St. Lucia. And, of course Victoria Falls!

11:29 pm

Do you think I will need heavy rain gear, or just something light?

11:34 pm

hmmm Cape Town is very dry at the moment they have winter rain if they lucky. Drought conditions there at present. Karoo very hot. St Lucia apparantly gorgeous have had plenty of rain. So a good mix but dont think "heavy" rain gear will be necessary - but then again this is Africa - anything can happen weather wise !

11:35 pm

techically, it will be fall, not winter. but you know how that goes! I'm trying to pack light as I tend to overdo it!

11:36 pm

I'm a little worried about cycling in hot weather after the winter we've had. I'll be miserable for the first few days, I'm sure.

11:36 pm

Still can get very hot in KZN until well into April.

11:37 pm

Cape Town at this time of the year should be quite mild

11:38 pm

the little details amaze me--someone just told me to keep my mouth closed, and not lick my lips at Victoria Falls. Who knew?

11:40 pm

Not been to Vic Falls - wonder why - spray ?

11:41 pm

yes, evidently there is a parasite in the spray?

11:42 pm

hmmm live and learn :)

11:46 pm

schistosomiasis

11:47 pm

never heard of that before with regard to Vic Falls

11:47 pm

in fact never heard of it at all

11:49 pm

I just learned about it from a few cousins who have gone. It must not be a big issue.

11:54 pm

nbt nbs at least
