Think we all do but only a few are brave enough to admit it

Hello, Ruby :-)
Morning Ruby and Zooz
Hello, Matty :-)
((zzoozz)) You shouldn't speak to me; I'm a very bad girl, got the boxes mixed up!
Hello British Matty
:D I shall get up and shower and dress - ceremony is at 11.30
lol I can see. But hey they were easy words to find anyway so I wouldn't worry.
Ceremony, Mattyy?
Ceremony, Matty?
snap, zzoozz
Teehee!
I swear my allegiance to the queen and her corgis today
Become officially British
After 29 years in the UK
Congratulations!
Oh congrats!, Matty! Hope you have a pleasant day.
Thank you :D
That is lovely, especially these days!
There's tea with the mayor (or deputy mayor) after. Because it wouldn't be British if tea weren't involved
Can I have stats for the Es in the bottom row?
lol Of course! I am drinking tea as we speak!
Sorry, Matty I have only just started so have not got that far yet. Will look.
only one i have is eo 5/12
No worries. I shall shortly be showering anyway. Just a quick peek in before getting myself ready
Me either, Matty
sorry et i mean
Are you wearing a fancy hat (to go with the mayor's tea)?
No - I don't do hats. But I shall wear a dress
Found ET 7/32 & ET 5/12
i'd love a clue for the p in the corner, so to speak
And ET 6/21
I had to morewords it - it's PS and then a buttload of vowels
PS 5/12
It is all vowels
that must be the british imperial buttload, I assume ;-)
Zooz is politer than I
thx for the clue.
Hah, yes, jbp - exactly that. It's 20% bigger than the American
I always remember that one as it can be spelt with two different vowels on the end.
lol
The other vowel ending is not in the grid today.
so, may I also have a clue for the A in the upper right? then I an go to sleep
To go up, jbp - as in climbing a mountain
And plural.
ah, thx. not as in, to not get in trouble, you should cover your as - - -
thx
hah, got the ps -- there are just a few possible combos
well, on either side of the pond today, have a great day, all!
and thx for the clues!
You too, Jbp :-)
Shower time!
Have a great day, Matty!
If I don't see you later, Matty, Have a great day!
Have you been watching Le Tour De France, Ruby?
Is the Pope Catholic?
LOL
Sandyloo and I are huge fans and now that my chouchou Alejandro Valverde crashed, I amrooting for Richie Porte, an Australian on an American team.
I watched the whole stage yesterday.
This way, I don't feel disloyal and she and I compare notes all day
Yes I saw the crash into the railings. He had an opereation on his knee cap...Ouch!
Yesterday was looong! It will get better and better as the countryside changes
Yes it always does get better as the stages go on!
And his leg had another brak. I think his great career is over!
I still have my polka dot Shirt!
Do you? I had a polka dot cap but I gave it away to avisitor
Well he is not a spring chicken any more and it will take a lot longer to recover from it. So you could well be right about the end of his career.
But he was MY spring chicken!
lol
gets
whoops
no more chat for bad nel!!!
Must admit this grid is flowing rather nicely here.
I will not be able to watch the whole stage today as I will be with parents.
All they like watching is bargain hunt or judge judy.
Well it is time for me to get going anyway. Happy babbling everyone!
hi/bye Zooz
Hello. I just checked the figs, there are many on the tree, but so far only one was ripe.

hi marian
This grid is OK, but I wouldn't call it ea*y
I don't think any of these grids are easy. If they were, far less people would play this game. It is the challenge involved that makes it interesting.
Bring back larger grids!
Bring back larger grids!

Name that Proper Noun; Shaw' fish
Hey , I agree where are the big grids. I am sick of these little ones
se 6/24 please?
Not first
thanks Molly, was focused on a different letter in the 3rd position
That is why I find the list very helpful at times. When you see that se6/24 is number two in the series of se words, intuition tells you what the third letter might be.
I like the list too, I couldn't finish without it
Is anyone else having problems with Babble today. It is very slow and keeps telling me to try again.
Not I
same here Sandie
It's quite frustrating.
yes, have to keep refreshing
hi, all. same here
Me too. It seems the only way to make it work.
It seems the server connection keeps dropping out for many of us. Email Dr. God if it gets to be a big problem.
snuck in independence day firewords! tx lickety and all cluers - ce6 that ends in two vowels was my last
Oooh...needed that...thanks and congrats!
sandy I have been so disappointed the past few days

Free clues. Hello kids.
The first word was mistyped though. Supposed to be feet.
How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?
good morning everyone
SJ, is that a riddle or a philosophical question?
Hi Nan.
It's actually a line from a comedy troupe I like. :D
Ah.
Firesign Theater
And it seemed to fit in well with the conversation about the existential crisis. I do enjoy this chog; the people in it are so friendly, intelligent, and diverse.
I agree Sam. It beats that "how r u" and "gr8" stuff you find elsewhere on the internet.
It's self selecting I suppose. The sort of people who enjoy playing word games are the sort of people who like words, so here we are.
Does anyone here do the NY Times crossword puzzle. That got me started on word puzzles. Also Quote Puzzler is another word game I enjoy
me too, me too bichon
I don't care for the NYT puzzle; my mind doesn't work that way easily, and I find it frustrating.
But Quote Puzzler is one I enjoy
I haven't seen you at QP in the longest time
MYTimes Sunday puzzle had a contest 12 years ago in cooperation with Starbucks, and when doing that, I found a Babble player named Doug from a blog he kept about the puzzle, and then I found Quote Puzzler, and then I found Babble
what is your name on QP Sam?
I'm here nearly every day, but my life is so frantic that I am always sneaking in words during meetings at work, or other times when I can't really chat
I grew up in NYC and my dad got me hooked
Even today, my 78 year old mom, whose birthday is today, is outside setting up tents for a picnic in her yard, so I really need to move my butt outdoors to help soon...
I honestly couldn't tell you, bich? I haven't been there in a long, long time; just too busy.
It's a miracle I find time to show up here most days.
Okay.
And on that note, I'm done; FW. See y'all tomorrow!
Funny thing is that QP takes me a lot less time than Babble, but I find I have time to sneak in babble and I've run short of time to do QP. Which makes me sad.
Bye!
Being retired helps me find the time.
Sj, thanks for the list the other day
nrkii, we miss you on QP.
Bichon, I love doing the weekend NYT crossword puzzle. Our newspaper has it on Saturdays. I so enjoy the brain challenge.
Scrabbler, a mutual friend yesterday said "I miss you" and I replied, "I miss me too." :)
I worry about you overworking and burning out. You need to slow your life down, nrkii.
Yep, am looking for the opportunity to do that, but they are very few and very far between. Just had a spectacular one fall through before it even got off the ground. Sigh...
Oh, no.
I am down to my last 2 words... an S5 and S6 which are probably a couple, which means I should be able to find them...
*!* -- with all the babblets, foreign and improbable words we get now, I would never be able to finish without the chat and lickety - so thank you.
got 'em!!
^5 nrkii
Anyone need clues before I head out to put up tents?
My brother is here, so I don't mind letting him do the work :)
happy tenting, nrkii -- and happy birthday to your mother
Bye, nrkii. ENjoy your day!
Thanks! happy babbling!
I'm off as well -- time to head over to the new house
anybody left?
I am here, but I lost interest in the grid long ago.
I am officially British.
congratulations or commiserations??!!
Thank God someone British said that. : D
In spite of everything I am a proud Brit not English however - half welsh quarter irish and quarter scots a typical British mongrel!!

Quote Puzzler, another internet word game
TY
ori apparently doesn't know the 2/3's rule
No problem. I often have a hard time understanding when people use abbreviations.
LMK when you figure them all out molly :D
I still think dick head when someone uses DH for dear husband.
well.. to many wives it's appropriate
And while I used to think that DH and DW were a little sappy, I prefer them to "my beloved".
that depends on if you have a regular breakfast or an epic one doesn't it?
Just came back. What is the 2/3's rule?
ha.. i'll shoot you an email
I feel I have committed some fractional faux pas :D
just sent :D
yes.. another word and you've have been drawn and quartered :D

I found the as 6/7 by the clue:)
did you all get this? as 7= as+cons. + opp of beginning is the ***. that is the six and plural for 7
Hi fan ... I was watching an old Monk episode this morning and Meatloaf was guest starring :D

mkg I had trouble finding it too
i got it! wow.
i got it! wow. ty
I love that show also. And agree ... Sharona was much better than Natalie.
Natalie was "just a replacemen" if you ask me
Even though she was there 6 of the 8 seasons

thnxamelu
indeed, yvw
It is the opposite of harda : D
or firma I guess
To which the opposite is limpa
flacida maybe?
the chat seems to be lacking di-erection
Ah yes, Flacida. Placido Domingo's less popular brother.
ha
think Flacida was his sister...
flacido maybe
he was less uptight than Placido.. or you could say less stiff as a person
this conversation too hard for me to follow...
Definitely not as turgid.
Sorry, I don't mean to be bone picking about terminology
Placido never knew when flacido woul droop in at his house either
I guess He was deflated being compared to such a famous brother
Poor thing, he just had to limp along through life.
yeah.. but he always tried to poke along sadly
It's tough when you are always dealing with a "situation".
yeah.. I guess.. I wouldn't know about that
Or you woodn't know : D
lol
hego's grid again.. something is funny about this
Hello
You rang?

Psaeiou
Damn it

I have my shoes on

Counting with digits. Lame joke
oh i figured that....just couldn't make out the image...
Well to be honest i am sitting by the pool with no shoes on now. Taking in the view
nice...
G and T time. Started my vacation
nice, too...
i am done...
Whistles for pen.
ty, ru...
Look out Napa. Ru is barefoot and has uncapped the bottle.
I kept my pants on for goodness sake
Hey, you are on vacation. Go skinny dipping. Give the neighbors a thrill. : D
Well, Ma Nature really dumped on the area 4th of July festivities. Right around cookout time too. Fortunately, we always plan around rain and there are great fireworks from DC on TV. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday.
Too bad
Happy Holiday to all my friends south of the border.
I am making dinners for my petsitters right now
Hi bugs. See you tomorrow
How does lamb chops, rosemary-garlic roast new potatoes and braised red cabbage with pinot and fennel and leeks soybd?
yup. I just came home from washing my car so I can get fresh bugs on it tomorrow.
Lol
Sound. Not soy
No creamery butter? Slacker.
No bacon either
sounds generous to me. My pet sitters got paid but still ate all the frozen treats in the freezer. They were kids.
Damn, they may kick you out of Canada.
I am going as an alias
Ooo, Undercover Ru.
Or does your passport say Serenity Now?
it will say that on his way home, Molly
I will wear a shoe over my junk going through customs😄
Lol
sorry but that visual just did me in . . .
It is a serenity now joke
Sorry bugs. Just kidding. I will wear clothes
Well Ru, just warn anyone planning to sunbathe with you.
Exactly molly
well I don't think you should wear clothes now that you have announced your travelling attire.
Maybe in my youth bugs when i was built better
ru, you have a delightful sense of humor!
As a friend of mine is famous for saying..."no one wants to see me in a bathing suit. Not even me."
Ha
and ladies, you know how to feed him lines.........hahaha
I feel the same way as your friend Molly
Well it isn't that bad for me yet
My neighbors do not mess around. Rain or no rain, they are out there setting off some cool fireworks.
