Taking a break. 100 to go.
good morning all

ge7 & 8
hiya hursh
la7, lo7
hi sprite
brb
Hi Sprite and hursh and everyone!
Hi and hugs. Thanks Hurshy for the ge 8. I’d missed the plural.
se7, si7
yeah i almost did too, easy to go the wrong direction there
phantoms issue tissue
ne7
can't seem to spot those long in- words
Ends in not early.
man, that peri trick works SO WELL
said it, then saw them in like 2 seconds
WTG
so i think i have almost everything called now
except only 3 ta7 not 4
oh and i do not have st8 either
back... I think?
cooee and g'day {{{{{{spritey}}}}} {{{{{{hurshy}}}}}} {{{{{lizgirl}}}}}}} {{{{{{{{kam}}}}}}}} wow! so many of my favourite peeps are here tonight. XOXOXOXOXOXOX
now i have st8
Hi and hugs
what do you think is back?
*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend, great to see you. How are you doing?
I think I am back, hursh, if the biggies calling is done :)
{{{{Rose}}}}
*hugs Kam* Hello dear one, how is life for you and Michael?
{{{{Sprite}}}}
ahh, oh, you don't like the calling?
still only doing the least i can do.... loll. thermometer up and down like a yo-yo *sigh*
*hugs Liz* Hi there! Thanks for your sweet Xmas wish. How are you and your beloved doing?
We’re well thanks. Busy. Guests arrive tomorrow for a week. 😊
so, i was away for a week visiting my sister
but.... all the dishes from christmas and boxing day washed, dried and put away.washing for those days also done.
hursh, no, I like to play the grid first without knowing the biggies. That is why I moved my playtime from fliptime to an hour or an hour and a half later.
poor rose. Counting down now though...
i get home and the cats are like... oh. you used to live here or something, right?
but finally rilla remembered how much she likes me
did you have a good stay with your sister, hursh?
yeah
roflol oh yes, that is cats for you... "yeah I seem to remember you... you used to be my human once, right?"
lolll re the cats, hurshy. so typical. glad you had some good time with your sister
but now she is firmly ensconced on my lap
i'm finding G the hardest letter tonight
at least it's not your lapTOP, right?
that is good. Nothing like a pet in the lap to make us feel better
yeah, trying to steal the keyboard cover from my laptop is her one vice
she is otherwise an angel baby
lol rose
too hot me..... i'd have the fan blowing right on the cat/dog....
I could do with a warmer lap right now. So cold here atm.
coming right over sprite.... you didn't want to see the screen too, did you?
"geesh!" she said, "it doesn't take 'geesh'!"
if I can see you instead? Of course not.
stupid enable, hursh
you'd be looking at the back of my front....
only ever heard in babble: phantom: atlatl
yes that one i also had
oh speaking of which, today i played CWM in lexulous
oh sprite, ifyou only had seen how many times i tried to find that
any part of you would be fine to look at, rose. welllll almost every part
woweeeee hursh!
roflollll....
how can something be desultory if desult isn't a word
true, true
how many points did that get you hurshy?
I tried result too!
in works though
Desult
well, the W made "hom" into "whom" and the M made "any" into "many", so i got 47 altogether
that is one brilliant play, hursh
omg.... hurshy.... brilliant
or what sprite said... loll
Good score Hurshy
:D
thank you, thank you. and i owe it all to babble
and to your own brilliant mind of course
"geesh!" she said again, "i better get to bed!"
sleep well, hursh, and sweet dreams *hug*
Next you need crwth!
hope you have the sweetest of dreams hurshy.
i would have done crwth if i had had an H
por what sprite said... loll
Sleep well Hurshy
i'll just shut up now, sprite can talk for the both of us...
:D
phantoms: road, toad and sensual
get back here, rose, and talk. Not fair to make me do all the work.
the gerund ending seems to be disappointing today
True. I’ve only used it once.
yeah, it was a pity.
same here so far, only one
but those three letters in a different order DO get a good work out.
yeah
Also true 😊
looking thru my list, I've used it several times, but I think I used it up...
I used it several times too, but only once as a gerund
Make that twice now!
yay Liz!
Ha ha!
;)
seven (i think) words with that particular run in the midst of the words. and there are three words with a gerund end, one a plural
oh, another 5 with that run in the midst of other letters.
hah, that gave me the one with the plural, and another one
have i managed to confuse everyone, yet?
I'm going crosseyed, but at least what Rose listed as a gerund.
not me, but I am used to living in your brain
4 now
plus plural
4 including the plural
5
darn, still one behind :D
of course lizgirl, 5 with two plurals
I'm heading to bed. Too tired. Too many hours on snowy roads yesterday and a sick FIL...not fun anymore.
got another one
Sleep well Kam
sweetest of dreams Kam dear. xoxox
night night Kam. Good luck with all that :( Major HUGS to you.
thanks
when i was in Rome, i bought three very light tops to wear. am wearing them as dresses in this weather. they are so floaty and light, and made of the lightest cotton possible.
that should help, rose. When in Rome...
Yeah - I hear you’ve got a heatwave down there.
and you don't lizgirl? i thought QLD was in trouble too.
Not that hot. High 20s. Usual for here. Not much rain though, despite the storms last week.
still here for about 5 more minutes. nearly dinner time. xoxox
still here too, still having fun with the grid
Down to 65 but will probably give up soon and list later.
it is a lovely grid.lots of runs.
I have slowed down considerably.
time to go. spritey, i hope your day allows you to take it easy and your pain improves. xoxox lizgirl, enjoy your evening. xoxox
Enjoy dinner. Have a great evening. Hugs.
enjoy your dinner, darling, and have a lovely evening. *hug*
Enough for now. Have a lovely day, Sprite. Hugs.
Have a great evening, Liz, and a peaceful night *hugs*
Quick run through and I have 87 words left for later. At least I found both 9s! Happy babbling everyone!

Hi smithchick. I am not liking this grid. How about you?
Trying to find my last two eights without going to the list.
No, I'm not a fan of this one.
i am lurking
I have no 8's or 9's. I just want to pass halfway and that is a struggle.
i am hating i words
I want more vowels in better places!
Hi folks
Hi Owl. I have been here for awhile. I have just 2/11 from that i.
Hi, origami, Temple and Scrabbler.
And any other lurkers

hi smith
Origami, I was at the art/craft store yesterday, saw origami kits and thought of you.
then no use crying over them.
TY, Dan!
later
I haven't ben folding much lately - need to get back to my paper :D
Anybody have the lone i at the top?
happy babbling. bbl when the chat changes
I don't make much art over the winter except for commissioned requestes.
Bye Temple
I have been painting. But I don't need outdoorsy material for that :D
I almost bought some canvases yesterday.
Bye, TO
go for it scrabs!
I do better with sticks, stones, and nuts--3D art.
Phew, I passed halfway. See you tomorrow.
Bye Scrabs - I'm done for a while myself
Bye origami and Scrabbler.
good morning all.
Morning
woohoo, nbt was super easy! that's how the babble trap lures you in....lol
hello...may I have stats for top corner i pls
I have a confession to make. I've been playing this game off and on for years and I don't know what nbt means. Is it no blank tiles?

ty smith and yes that is what it stands for
nbs is no blank stats
Okay. thanks!
yw
Anybody have all of the q's?
I'm missing one.
only have 1
You and I have the same love of genre for books.
i have a qu 5.16, qu7.40, and a qu5.16, if that helps?
I haven't read in a while. Any new released that you recommend?
That's what I have to, Tri.
there are 2 qu7/40's
how long is a while?
Thanks, dan.
ty dan
I just used to instead of too. My sister would be appalled.
Haven't seen anything from Hooper in quite a while. JD Robb just had one out in the last 6 months. Nora Roberts is coming out with a new genre, going to try out that one. Don't do romances.
smithchick, I just finished an amazing book -- Once Upon a River. it has many elements of the books you love, so I would totally check it out!
morning all, hope you are having a great day so far
trif...author?
dan...have one qu7...clue for the other one..have the one ending in not out
Diane Setterfield is the author.
still can't find the is5
hello hannah
the other one is a plural of the first qu5
ty trif...never read her books
Thanks, phaeton. I'll have to check those out. I'm about to need to start getting on the treadmill and I have to read to make myself stay on the stupid thing.
smith...lol
the is5 is a weird babblet. i, two snakes, two vowels
Hello hannah
anybody know how to change the clock on a laptop?
Thanks also, trif for the recommendation.
seriously, it is SO GOOD
I think it should be in settings, hannah
okay I'll look
click on the date time in the toolbar.
It's been a few months since I read anything. I've been busy with a toddler. I think the last thing I read was part of a series by Kelley Armstrong.
thanks, it worked
why is tusset not a word? Miss Muffet used one...lol
Right?
tuffet
tuffet
lol
that's why can't remember my nursery rhymes right
Finally got the other q. Now I'm looking for my last 8. I have a8, f8, g8, i8 and s8. Anybody know what I'm missing?
to change the date / time on mine, I right click on the time in bottom corner of toolbar and then it goes to a menu of time / changes
stats for middle left E?
i have no 8s as yet, so i'm no help at all
no 8's here
te8/40, i think

Hello everyone
hi car

hi car
hi natasha
hi hannah
hi harp
Hi
Is the page running slow or is it just me?
Is the page running slow or is it just me?
Seems better now.
There has been some sludge in here, but it is gone now. Hi Sukee.
Clue for the 9s?
Happy Birthday Une!!!!
in9 your cup is kept cold because it is in9. The cold stuff is the in9
Thanks!!
I am surprised the dictionary does not have insula. It would have pons and medulla, so I would expect insula a well!
clue for in7/36 please?
I have the first 3 letters...
Add a vowel to the 6/24 right before it.
oh my ... thanks, Champ! So simple!
Odd word!
Just finished. Need anything before I go?
TY for the IN clues Molly

ஜ۩۞۩ஜ FIREWORKS ஜ۩۞۩ஜ
Happy babbling everyone!
wonder if those icons happen in Zooz's bedroom
We can only hope : D
with all CAPS.. the headboard would be involved
And notches in the headboard.
Peri, Fritz and Laura Perls for the ge7 therapy
Oh skip it, she already got it
too bad Zooz isn't here to get flustered
Happy Zoozzoom is not here to see the patronising smugness of the goat
that's not smugness.. that's a laughing goat
Aw, I thought the all CAPS headboard comment was funny.
A laughing goat and a 6 year old human from Gypsy Angel Row. Both dedicated to undermining players & asserting their ‘superiority’. Hmmm.
what?.. where is that coming from
Read the chatterbox. It’s clear.
zooz has a great sense of humor and would have laughed at the comment. he knows I have a sick sense of humor..
No one is asserting their superiority. Just joking around.
Chill out
Good morning all.
hi liz
sa 7/32 pls
Hi Ru
sea water like sa 7/32
ty ru.
Hm! My words aren't entering :(
Really?? Read back over the the chatterbox. A fragile person could be wrecked by your inane ‘banter’. Clearly MollyL craves the approval of RuRuRocks. Clearly RuRuRocks is an attention craving asshat.
Thanks, Ru
thanks for sharing backwards.. but clearly way off the path
these are people who have known each other for years, almost a decade on; you'd joke with your friends in a similar manner, too.
I agree, dfmc
nice of you to be concerned BM. But you're reading too much into this.
zooz has a fantastic sense of humor and would have laughed and not taken it personally at all..
And he'd probably have bantered back too,
btw, this is a lovely grid. 180 words in 20 minutes. gotta run!
it was a tough grid for me.. I had trouble with it
I wish I was thinking that, Harry. These last 10 are challenging me.
I also listed pretty early.
last 10! I still have 105 to go.
Sorry BM, I don't crave the approval of anyone.
Harry - don't forget flip is in the afternoon here - yesterday for me.
so if it gets challenging later on, so be it. I'll list later. Have a good night - I gotta take the kids out!
Have a good evening
later harry
ah - well good morning then liz
:)
Fireworks.
Have a good evening /day everyone.
congrats and bye liz
180 words in 20 minutes??? I am pathetic I've been on and off 5 hours and only 101 words!
this is a very twisty grid Kristin.. it's nothing to be ashamed about
I've never gotten 180 words in 20 minutes. Don't sweat it.
Rururocks I used to be on years ago and just recently picked it back up so I've got to get used to the strange words again. Thanks for the support!
it's not just obscure words, ALWAYS miss words like IRON or ge4 here...
hi everyone -- kids are at the pool and nana is cooking -- so a few minutes breather here...
(((nan))) so good to see you. hey all.
hi stid -- how is everyone in the family?
we are well, thanks -- a friend has introduced me to a TV show called The Good Place and we are watching the second episode while the dog complains we are boring.
how about you-all?
lol -- just relaxing by myself for a moment -- not used to having little kids running around anymore -- sure know why you have them when you are young!
I know! :-) It's amazing how they go even faster when they are tired!
we are all in good health and managing to keep our minds intact so far :D Loving the new house - finally have it whipped into shape.
wonderful! Strange how long it takes to turn a new place into a home, isn't it?
I'm thinking it's a good thing we finished before the trade wars and market crashes.
Definitely.
I am down to 217 now... taking a while.
Even so, I was shocked at how much the cost of building materials had gone up.
Yes. I am glad to not be having to build right now.
kids are back -- time to sign out
later, nan. be well
hi stiddy
Hey TO! How's life?
it's living. and you?
about the same!
good to see you. just finished, and ready to go.
At the moment there are three under-25s living with us (plus a dog and a lizard)... and our eldest just turned 26... so I am feeling old. LOL
Hi everyone! Happy Saturday (or Sunday for those ahead of me)!
YAY on finishing!
TO, are you still there?
NRKII???? Now my day is complete. :-)
Ha ha ha! Wow, I feel so special. :)
I haven't "seen" you in so long.
I play most days, but often have to lurk because I'm just grabbing words here and there between meetings at work (or during meetings, when I'm also paying very close attention in case I get "called on")
yes nrk i was just preparing to close this window
Ah, yes, I understand!
Waves to TO!
Don't let me hold you up, but it's good to see you!
I can't quite manage it with third graders, so I mostly play on my longer breaks.
Thanks for the note. Let's see about reconnecting. It's been too long.
you as well. spent some extra time in nnj and i am trying to clean up the hasty mess i left behind!
Those needy third graders.
{{nrkii}}. {{study}}
Judy!
I tell you! ;-) They are wonderful, but a little more work than teens!
{{TO}}
JUDY!!! :-)
i ate at chmney rock inn on thurs, on rte 31
oh my, judy!
Judy and TO, we are long overdue for a NJ/PA babble meetup.
{{stiddy}}. Can’t type now that I’m retired!! 😂😂
Stiddy, you are more than welcome to fly out and stay with me to join us.
:-) "study" works for me, too -- so much to learn!
I agree nerky
I would love that, but health will keep me close to home from now on. :-)
😢Stid
sorry to hear this, stid.
yep, what they said
I usually do the grid daily but don’t chat much
It's okay -- the alternative is being sick. But I love to hear about everyone's goings-on.
brb
i babble every day, but generally do not have time to chat.
R u at ur Mom’s Nerky?
just drove back home today
thought of you friday, a friend posted on fb that she ate at the full moon cafe.
am happy to be back home... love my mom and love seeing family and friends, but the change in environment always makes me ill so it's good to get home
and judy your home looks great
Full Moon Café -- best birthday dinner!
that was soooooo funny!
Thx TO. I just love my “makeoverâ€
complete surprose
i think we may need a road trip.
and a yuengling tour
They have a new visitor center
I haven’t been there yet
i finally have a decent car again.
Gift shop and tasting room
yes! although I was rather desperate for a Bethlehem excursion this Christmas and I just could not find the time
nice!
de
i was there twice for meetings but did not tour in the rain. i am rather over christkindlmarkt since my car was hit there.
actually, not in the spirit this year. but i may go to the mummers' parade.
My sister and I want to take one of the classes at Seasons Oils but can never squeeze it in to our schedules
Must continue cleaning up the mess in my kitchen. So nice to “see†you both
ditto. bye judy, nrk and stiddy. see you soon.
I'm heading off to watch sappy Hallmark movies soon
night!
i'm watching jungle book and then reading. night!
sweet dreams, nrkii
and to!
and judy!
Hi everyone!
hey JenMO!
hi stidmama!
I found a new word game and I can't stop playing it
a NOT BABBLE word game? *grimace of consternation*
well, it is called wordscapes
but you can't chat with anyone
oh no chatting? might help me stay on task... LOL
looks like a fun game!
It is! You can also compete and win more coins with others.
:-)
e
to
in
ge
but "nene", "toea", "inia" aren't accepted in wordscapes... nor are "orate", "geld", "hale", "lee", "lea" which aren't even babblets... ended up annoyed enough to stop
hi all. clues for the 9s and maybe some 8s please.
I have no 8s or 9s. But only 89 to go!
ty harry. good luck
in- 7,8,9 all related to weatherproofing your house
ooh those are nice
ty dp
I mean in- 8,9,9 oops
yw
83. listing!
TY! GOT BOTH 9S! and one eight.
yay! yw
wonderful.
need the i top left. ty. states and clues.
is5/10. japanese
ty!
got it
done! good night
fl 6-8 please?
fl- what you have when you are gassy
no flatulence, so I don't know
nm - got it
yay
a latin version of that word. that is what it is.
it is the latin term for it.
FW here.
it's the medical word for it
I had such a crappy couple of days - i really wanted flatulence to work
That would have been a gas
I'm often prone to it.
NM -= where did that backward idiot come from, ru? And how to you manage to respond so reasonably?
do
beats me jw.. very odd and out of context
if zooz was here he would have laughed.
he's a really nice guy and one of my favorite players and I wouldn't say anything to hurt his feelings.. it was just a joke.
totally. of course he would have gotten a kick out of it and probably kicked back a bit'
anybody who knows you knows that, ru.
I didn't want to stir up the pot to be honest.. he/she came out of left field
and I noticed you had quite a bit of support -- a mob getting together!
no.. it was more sensible people pointing out it wasn't a big deal or nothing near the big deal that Backwards made it out to be
180 next grid
they may just not like my joking around.. seems to be hard feelings.. I don't really care one way or the other
considering the name was, I think, backwardman or backwards, I will go for male.
Are you laying money on it ursh?
