lol
ma7
oh. huh. I wouldn't have thought that was a word.... Thanks!
nbt, nbs
Rainqui, what do nbt and nbs mean?
no blank tiles, no blank squares
When you've got at least one word from every tile, and from every word length.
ty for explaining that Gillie, out of all this time I've played and didn't understand the squire part
Ah, i see. Well i'm a couple of tiles short.
Clues are up
ty lickety!
thanks, lickety
Me neither, marksdolly:}
:)
I had to ask too once upon a time. I thought it meant no bread today, no bread Saturday
I think "nbs" actually stands for "no blank stats"
And if you see someone post PB, it does not mean peanut butter, it means penalty box for postinga word in this chat column
You're right Gillie, thanks for the clarification
35 for morning, good night babblers!!
night!
Good night!
Also, if you see someone in chat say something like "boy. that G." It means that I AM NOT FINDING THE G EASY IN THIS GRID
Just what I wanted to hear when I first signed on! Hello everyone :)
sy
hello
do we have any babblers from Western Australia?
Isn't Anike from WA?
We're hoping to got there in about a year, looks like there's lots to do!
Never been - yet! But yes, I think there's a lot to do there.
found a horsie!
and piggies
Just checked, Anike is from Perth
Glad I got it right!
stats for the bottom w please?
wo4/10
ty liz
yw - brick wall time here - BBL
maresy is a word! maresy doats and doesy doats and little lambsy divy
wouldn't you, though, nan?
not me -- just the kids
think we're giving the slightest hint as to our age?
lol I sing that song every night to get the cat to come home.
This is a ritual that I started with my parents in 1963. Still doing it!
90 down and crashing -- goodnight :)
isn't it mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy? funny how people hear different things
yep, if the words sound queer, and jumbled to you ear, a little bit mumbled and jivy.....sing MARES EAT.....
Yes harpjane, I am from Perth
What type of holiday are you looking for?
harpjane, if you're still here - i'm from WA. Lots to do here?
Maybe, if you're prepared to travel thousands of miles to do it! Very large state, sparely populated mostly. e.g.,the Kimberley region is beautiful, definitely worth a look, but i's ' 2,500 km from Perth, about 3 times the size of England but less than 40,000 permanent dwellers.
sparsely
Lots of West Aussies go to Asia for holidays rather than up north, which id a shame, but it's so much more affordable.
South West is very popular too for beaches, scenery, wineries etc. Kimberley region is isolated but sum beautiful places. We love Broome which is a long way but many other things to see along the way,
Some beautiful places is what I meant.
Morning all. May I have stats please for the lone, strange M in the second row?
Never mind - found it!
Many congratulations on the safe arrival of Alfie, Mattie. I bet you are counting the days till you go down under?
Oh yes, so very much!
Mid April I go (fate permitting!)
Oh my goodness. I'm imagining the scene at the airport......
Well, by the time I arrive, the kids will be in bed...so think more the next morning :)
Right. I'm just remembering arriving at Gatwick and being presented with this little bundle of Baby Paul. It was like something out of a 'Lassie, Come Home' movie.
How ever the grand meeting happens, I shall be joyful!
May I have stats for the 7 please? I must have missed the calling :)
ma 7/40. Not a word you would expect....
I shall look!
I have found - thank you! I had the six - it didn't occur to me to try the 7
it's a type of plant matty
good morning everybody!
Hi all
hello all
any GN words?
no
mk
The correct answer to that question is gnope. 😊
any clue for the lone M?
my5.18
I did know that part, thanks bea
my5...looks like the eye problem
it is eyesight
good one, Molly
got it, thanks!
wouldn't it be the person who has that eyesight problem? i am such a person
at least i think so. i always get nearsighted and farsighted mixed up.
yes hurshy it is
phantom: armada
The my word is nearsightedness. Presbyopia is far-sightedness.
Ah Magoo, you've done it again!
and which one of those is the one where far things are blurry
Depends on which things are blurry. Close up or far away.
yeah i said "far things"
That is near sighted
ok then yes i am a my5
If far things are blurry you are nearsighted. If near things are blurry you are farsighted.
I am both
If you are both you are just hosed. 😊
idk why no matter how many times i am told which is which i never can seem to remember it! i don't have that problem with other things. i can tell left from right
Or you have what my friend calls CSS...can't see shit.
I was six before I found out there were wires between the poles along the streets.
i think we all have that when we're nearing the completion of a grid
Time to get productive.
1-3-1 here

i have 40 left....slow going now....
i am going to look for my fours, i guess....
I played at the flip on my phone so no idea how many I had when I fell asleep.
but it seemed slow on first pass
i just started about 15 min. ago....
found my last 4. now to somehow find 5's and 6's.
just took a gamble that the tiles I'm missing 2 on have a 5/6 set and totally made up ar5/6
always nice....i thought i made up da 5/6....
that must be my missing 2 d's then. looking...
thanks!
yw...
4-1 - still have a set of M's so going to try that again...
hmm, maybe not a set there. not a lot of ways to go from the M
still missing 5 Ms here...
I def. already made up some m's.
just found two Ms....still missing 2....
good morning everyone :)
hey nan
hi nan...

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivies
Sorry Carla, it's not deep like M&M
it's mondegreens on purpose song
a kiddly divy too
ahem, it's eminem
A kid will eat ivy
I know Carla, poor guy can't spell
morning all
moo!
Molly -- it was never spelled correctly, but how it was pronounced
hey hoke, how goes the Thursday
hi mool....
he just spelled it phonetically. which is what they tell the kids to do these days. (I know eminem is not a kid)
at least not in the chorus
hey pen, happy March 24th to you
ok, I guess. hope thursday is good in CO.
ditto to you, mool...
tx!
y'all, we have a lot of things blooming, so I've been taking zyrtec and I feel drugged right now.
sounds fun
what is eminem, carla? not that song!
guess it's not really affecting my word gaming
Go ask Alice, Carla
eminem is a white rapper, nan. I don't expect you to know him.
50 to go
I was asking if you thought he was the one that popularized Maresy Doats
5 here, you'll catch me in no time
probably not
no, nan. molly threw his name into the chat, not me.
that song was wayyyyy before his (and my) time
oh - ok - chat was moving so fast I didn't see that. Yes it was -- the 1940's -- remeber my mom singing it and hearing it on the radio. I guess it was the kind of nonsense song that got a kid
s attention
oops - hit return by mistake
happens to me with the apostrophe too
just found that odd ar 5/6 pair....new one for me....
Carla said Mairzy Doats was a ridiculous song. I apologized that it was not as deep as eminem who writes lyrics like: I'm beginnin' to lose sleep: one sheep two sheep Goin' coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
you forgot vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
missing one d and one w to finish off the 2n row -- any guesses?

or he needs to really begym himself back in shape...
also valid definition
i am also missing one B....
carla -- how about be 6 or by 6

ah...be 6 is my missing B....
so is BY6 the only non BE word?
there are only 3 -- be 5 x3
be 5/18 maybe?
ok, then I have 3 be5
found my missing B....
no I don't
I have 2 plural be5
they are all common words
be 5/16 is an ordinary word...

D S A R GG here.....still missing a four....
prob the SE5/14 I just found
no guesses on your R since you have the weird one
yes, just found it..done with the Ss now...
it was a TITT word.... ;o)
go4, maybe
the g's are mostly normal words or sets
maybe AR6/30, which I was going to do a NTPN for old airstream line of campers that wasn't silver.
well i have most of them, so perhaps i am missing an odd pair....it's not the odd word for a sail...have those...
there are 2 sets with 3 words

nice
ty for the help....
I think moo is hiding from all the clues
np, thank you. it takes a village. ðŸ˜
perhaps....
hi Hokie!
hello fellow babblers
i am not liking this laptop as much as my old one....the cursor has a life of its own....
hi dolly....
hello dolly!
maybe you should check the sensitivity in the settings, pen
i did...it's on the lowest setting....and i turned off all the multi finger options....
that stinks
yes....it keeps opening things i don't want opened or setting off shortcuts i don't want...
yeah, mine is kinda crazy too, it backtracks when I don't mean it to.
there should be a way to turn off all those shortcuts and resort to a simple left click and right click option....
yes, mine backtracks as well...
and the left click won't open items on my desktop...i have to right click and select Open....
is it windows or mac?
windows....and double clicking doesn't select a word....have to drag the cursor through it...
hmm, I've been mac user for like 10 years, so not up on current windows, but seems like there should be ways to change those things.
i have looked multiple times at settings and looked for support articles and googled the problem....nothing helped....i need to call Dell.....
ok, down to 1 and it's the weird RE
thanks for all of the clues
A lot of times hardware vendors put shortcut software on
Not sure what version of windows you're running, but they typically show up over near the time
if you're using Windows 11, there's an up caret type icon that shows what's running as "helper apps"
is the RE used as a prefix for do again?
If there's a keyboard app, it might have something
no, sophie. it is similar to se5/14 but goes the other direction
sewda - a drink for needleworkers
ha
13 left for me, all these calls today :)
i don't think i have keyboard apps....how do I show running helper apps?...what do i see that?
you wouldn't believe in the sewing world how many times so is replaced with sew for a pun
Got it, Carla thanks !!!!!
What version of windows do you have pen?
Fireworks!!!
11...
no prob
Anyone need a clue?
no, thanks...i am done already....
just hit genius at the bee
Okay...on the right hand side of the screen near the bottom near the volume and network icons, there's a ^ icon
i am running Windows 11....
click on that, and it will expand and show what they call hidden icons
If you hover over each of those icons, check to see if there's anything that is keyboard related. If you have a specific keyboard like logitech, it might be named that
yes, there is McAfee, bluetooth devices, and windows security....
okay, so doesn't look like it
i have a laptop...no extra keyboard...
Do you know what button you're pressing that's opening stuff up?
i am using the touchpad ....
Ah.., so when you use the touchpad it's opening up new browser windows, or what exactly is happening?
should the sensitivity be high or low?....it opens babbler icons, websites, whereever the cursor ends up....
Ah, so it's thikning that you're pressing the click button
yes...
So yes, you can go into the touchpad settings and adjust some of the settings there
and sometimes the left hand is completely off the pad and just touching the center of the pad with my right forefinger opens a site....not a tap really....
Do you know how to get into the touchpad settings?
i have tried that....i have it on the lowest sensitivity....
Another option, though it might take some getting used to, would be to set it to require double tap to open
i also turned off all the multifinger tap options...
actually see down below there is "more settings"
yes, i could try the double tap....probably won't solve the problem of not being able to open desktop icons...
more touchpad settings
there's a double click speed setting
rule #2
As an aside, I really don't like touchpads because they're too hard to control, and use a wireless USB mouse myself. Actually turn my touchpad off altogether
i am looking for the touchpad settings....
I use a wireless mouse too when I'm at my desk. also helps me with the right-clicking.
it says two taps will be a right click....don't see an option for two left clicks....
i want to be using my laptop in my easy chair so I don't want to resort to a mouse...
i don't see an option for adjusting double click settings....
looking too
sorry, had another call
no problem...
yeah, I don't see any other control on mine other than the sensitivity, and you've already set that to low
yes...
One thing you might be able check, is do a google search for the particular manufacture and model and touchpad sensitivity
it's funny...i can open things from the tray but not things on the desktop.....
i will try that, mool....thanks for helping....
when you set the sensitivity lower you mean?
or all the time
all the time now....
i had problems with the cursor freezing on the page three or four times....but haven't had that lately....
Well, it's possible it's the touchpad driver...though I think most use the generic driver now
i checked and all my drivers are up to date...
yeah
The laptop was operational aside from the frozen mouse pointer tho
well when it froze, i could not do a thing....had to figure out how to shut it down.....
when restarted it was ok for a while....haven't had that problem since I turned off the touchpad and turned it back on....
i will try to find solutions again by searching for my specific laptop touchpad issues....worth another shot....
have you googled "how to stop touchpad from freezing"?
hi again
i did a similar search....it's how i found turn off the touchpad and turn it back on again suggestion....
hi nan...
hasn't froze since then....
yeah, an entire freeze could be related to a whole set of issues, from hardware to software so hard to use it as a symptom
yes - google is my first go to as well when something goes wrong -- yesterday it was the smart TV which is not nearly as smart as I would like!
The more specific issue on how the touchpad works, is probably what's worth focusing on
agreed...
down to 15 and stuck -- hopefully lickety will help
still 13, have been doing other stuff :)
oh, found a word :)
sorry to take up so much of your time, mool....ty for the suggestions...
oh not at all pen, sorry I couldn't help
what I learned is I need an easy chair
your chair is hard?
also hoping someone out there got my earlier movie reference ðŸ˜
we don't talk about fight club?
I got a big giant bean bag chair, but not the old kind with beans or plastic beads, but the new version with big chunks of foam. it is very comfy but the youngest took it off to his dorm room this year so I probably don't ever want that back.
yeah
no, it was rule #2 in reference to the double tap
that bag is bean and gone
oh
a has-bean
a hasbean
oops, too slow
😜
well, might be time to bag the puns
I'd just like to be able to turn the mouse roll overfeature off -- often lose stuff because of it
though, hopefully we brought a little chair to the chat
yep, zip those right up
well i am heading out .... bye all.....
seeya pen

Clue for the single M please?
ah, well hopefylly won't be too severe Trif
thank you. I'm double vaxxed and boosted, but this is still no fun. At all. Thank GOD for the vaccines, can't imagine this full on
yeah, for sure
what is surprising me is how much changes every day. Fever/chills/aches day, sinus woes and stomach issues day, etc.
i think i hit the spam jackpot today, 3 calls today from "amazon" about a macbook pro purchase that i need to authorize
yeah, one of my friends got it early on before there were vaccines, he wrote an account of the symptoms
oh dear shirl! Maybe ask them to deliver it in person before you will authorize, lol?
single M = my5/18 - odd word. Someone who can't see far away.
Thanks rbud, Got it.
yw! down to 6 left here.

People don't read the way the corner A is laid out
LOL! True Molly. I had the corner but had missed an adjoining word, thanks
Hi all. This should be an easy grid. I just got here and I already have the top row grayed.

Hello EliJay!I have been stuck on that work since 4:30pm
I've tried every combination at least three times!
Well every combination but the right one.
Scrolled through today's chat log and not 1 babbler asked for a clue for that word. Guess it's just us who's stumped.
It's embarassing :(
I cannot even count the number of times I tried "DERBY"!
dergs, dergy, dergo, debsy ....
Yep, I tried all of those combinations as well, to no avail.
Aha! de+farewell
de + adios
de + seeya
rhymes with try
Thank you EllJay! I FINALLY have my fireworks! Hooray!!!
Still have 33 to go..
Nice!!!
I'm here if you need clue. Taking dog out for five minutes and then I will be back here to give clues if you need any
Thanks.

I am back EllJay. Sorry it took so long to come back. I am having internet issues.Are you still here and do you need any help with clues still. I'll be here for 15 more minutes

Having issues too. Goodnite Minveryork.
