Hi Sprite

nbt, nbs, dr 7 and 8- NOT related
not seeing either -- off to bed now. Good night
ma 7

Sorry Rai, missed your greeting. Hi :D
tough grid for me except the Ms, go figure
li5 - help?
nevermind, h
found it
Good morning, Babblers
phantom, porcine.
Porcite...an acrylic resin made of pork products
I wonder how many of us tried MAGA. It's been in our faces for so long, it's starting to feel real.
It is certainly going to feel real to many Americans now that they are set to slash medicaid and food stamps in order to give tax cuts to the middle class after Trump threatened retribution if they did not vote the way he wished them to, but I guess the lower income/poor are disposable in any case, and cannot afford lawyers to fight. Low hanging fruit as it were.
it's not really the middle class getting the tax benefits
it's the very wealthy
Even worse.
not sure how we've been able to avoid the 'influence' of the perceived slighted(maga) for so long ... did it take a rebel in orange to bring them outta the shadows .... what would they be satisfied w/going forward ... we all know how tough they are .... the fight doesn't seem to be inline w/ the reality of the alignment of class structure they are trying to define ... expand the divide
that "t. Low hanging fruit as it were." voted overwhelmingly in his favour
Wait until the taxpayers have to pay to get that jet retrofitted--the money aloted to food stamps is a pittance by comparison.
Wingding, Trump has always known the demograpic that vites for him, that is pliable.
Votes*
And how much money is that...that is allotted to foodstamps in the US?
Look it up.
I just assumed you knew since you said it was a pittance compared to what the retrofit would cost.
What is needed more? Feeding the poor or Trump having a new ride?
Sorry I mentioned it. It's bad enough to live it and now I've brought it into my little piece of happiness
Sorry, coffee. I should not bring pilitics in here.
Politics
44 P's is NOT the best way to start the day.
This is gramma. I lost my info in the reboot and I don't know how to get myself back.
Wow. That reboot did a lot of weird stuff! Sorry that happened to you gramma.
You might be kind of screwed because Dr. God is not available by email.
crossy, politics isn't in the grid so let's skip it.
I will give ut a rest, coffee. Puppies and words.
I never knew how to reach out anyway. I'll just carry on under my alias.
Pen name!
Nom de plume?
There ya go!
If he ever fixes it, his email is dr.god@playbabble.com. However, if you email that now, it bounces back
Good to know. ty
If you hover over SEND THEM at the very bottom of the screen, that email address will pop up on the bottom left.
I don't know why we have to avoid politics if we want to talk about it... as long as the conversation is civil and not name calling back and forth
Because it can be divisive and why bother?
I always try to be civil when discussing it.
I never noticed that "send them". ruru, we don't have to avoid it. We're still free to dissent as long as we don't get scooped up in a raid.
Carry on. I'll be back later
it doesn't have to be divisive.. it's good that I hear the other side. You and I differ on Ted Cruz but I still enjoy your comments here. as an example.
Hiwever, if the majority wish Babble to be politic-free, I will respect that as best I can.
it's what is going on right now and our country is in crisis. Why not talk about it to learn from others? it's better than a litany of clue giving because someone wants an 8 and the U in the corner all the time
I don't think it is right to dictate what can and can't be discussed here. People can feel free to turn chat off if the discussion turns to something that distresses them.
We are wound up a bit more about it, I suppose. That happens when a global suoerpower threatens to assimilate your country. We fell it a bit deeper.
Feel
And I agree that discussion is much better than the litany of clue giving.
I have akways said the same, Molly.
This also gives me insight on what Americans are thinking--other points of view that I cannot get from simply watching thevtalking heads on the nightly news.
I like clue giving better...;)
gm phae!
phaeton, I like the clue giving better too!
I don't mind cluing if it is just helping a person find a word they just can't see. but asking for clue after clue after clue is annoying as shit
shit
The pop-up thing with word suggestions is driving me nuts!
Agreed rururocks
same here!
what pop up thing?
sometimes when I go to type in a word, a box pops up with other words...suggestions, I guess. coveres up part of the grid.
You have to click elsewhere on the page to clear it. annoying.
No, I don't get that. I'm glad I don't
lucky!
that's only for the texas players :D
lol
Ha! The curse is real!
I get that, think it's a list of words that you have entered at some time...no rhyme nor reason as to the order lol
Yes!
although it clears as soon as I enter a letter
Example...I just clicked into the add word box, and up popped a list of: anime tidi relet ecus otto and nite.
Yes, I get that too. How do you get rid of that?
I don't have that problem .. it went away a week ago
No clue. Although I noticed that if you type in your first letter it goes away.
I don't have a pop up thing...I need a lot of suggestions
mine just goes as I enter aword
I don't think they are relevant to the current puzzle unfortunately!
exactly. not helpful at all.
the drag is Dr G isn't reachable to fix issues
Babble has never heard of doric columns hah!
tried it!
you now it is quite amazing that Dr God has kept this going for so long
drat know!!
Doric is proper
Kalia that is true. I have been playing since the beginning and that is years ago.
I remember you swmbo..I don't post. much these days, not as much fun as it once was
I don't post much either but I generally play every day. Finish some days, others I do not.
How long is it? 15 years?
IO play most days, dont care if I finish or not,,just keeps the old brain ticking over
Must be at least 15
22 years in September
Wow! 22 YEARS!
wow how time flies...a great $5 purchase!
I don't even remember paying
a lot of people have come and gone over the years. many of them I miss... a couple I'm grateful they're gone
It was $11 when I joined in 2008
I think I paid $15 for a lifetime membership
that was in 2007
maybe you got the costco discount crossy
indeed they have Ru....I'n sure it was %$ for me because it wan't as much as £5...
Perhaps, or more likely I am remembering incirrectly.
Perhaps, or more likely I am remembering incirrectly.
Perhaps, or more likely I am remembering incirrectly.
Perhaps, or more likely I am remembering incirrectly.
Oops
Sorry
I remember you and the JC debacle...
you mean nancy boy?
yep,,,wasn't JC involved in that?
people thought that.. but I really don't know
I miss Mimicat, and that delughtful french lady with the koi pond. She was always fighting with the herons to save he fish.
it's likely but who knows?
no one for sure
you mean Rubyfoo crossy?
they say too much bacon clouds your memory
Yes, my "Ruby Tuesday. She used to laugh when I called her my e otic french girlfriend. :)
Exotic
erotic?
(had me guessing there)
Lol. Please ignore typos. Have the shakes today. :/
There is no such thing as too much bacon.
do you have maple syrup with your bacon?
you've apparently not spoken with a cardiologist lately crossy
Lol, no, kallia, but you can get maple smoked bacon.
I saw a post about a guy that ordered a sandwich to go that came with bacon, and the server asked him if he wanted some "walking bacon"...to eat while he walked back to his car!
I saw that too lol...Crossy yes we can get that here
I avoid those negative people, ruru, beside, cancer will get me long before the nitrites do.
I saw that as well! Walking bacon, what a fine idea. :)
Best idea ever!
You buy a sandwich and you get three slices of walking bacon, I believe.
Lovely
sounds like Pork Dash
Stats for the 8's please?
dr8/55 is the only one i have

picon is a bitter orange liqueur; bars around here where there's lots of Basque influence know how to mix a "picon punch" never seen it anywhere else though. Certainly not in Enable lol.
10 p's to go
Work is interfering. Best get on with the day. BBL
Finished. A tough grid today
Rasta - curious where you live that there's a lot of Basque influence -- my SIL's family is Basque. but i must also ask -- French-Basque or Spanish-Basque?
There is a bill in the Nevada Legislature to make picon punch the official drink of the state of Nevada.
Northern Nevada has a lot of basque influence, restaurants, etc
finally greyed the J
Greying the A's was very satisfying.
still working on them
half-way!
phew - fw - tough and long grid today
this grid is a slog...

I only played some last night when I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, but I found it a slog then.

bye pen
well, just finished first pass. a tough grid for sure. barely got HOET and 59 left. 14-22-14-7-2
well at least the i words were easy
first i? I still need one on the second.
aha, there it is
i have all 5
yay
have only grayed U, 2nd O, both i, and 3rd A
i have second A grey as well
and top M
still need 3 on second A and 3 on top M
found one M
and an M7
there is one with all the same cons as your last phantom, hokie
you just change the first 2 vowels to other vowels
I have one like it with all the vowels changed
also the last vowel, I think
hey gillie
i am not referring to a ti6 that is an everyday object
i am referring to a babblet
oh - ty hurshy
hmm, from which T?
nm
Well, I listed and used More Words quite a bit, so now I'm done
well done, I probably will not have that perserverance
still 53 left and I don't like to list until I get under 30 because it's so annoying
Listing often goes quickly for me because I miss so many obvious ones, but not so much this time
Anyway, good luck and good day!
thanks, have a good one
oh, found a similar set of o5/a5
hi folks. help with either 8 please. I know they are dr8 and te8
The dr is a mythical flying creature, add a vowel and a cons.
ty champ
found the te8
great!
ooh there's a te8? left or right T?
Right.
i feel like it must be weird
Extend the te5/10
thanks
name that proper noun! the really really really annoying bishop's wife in Barchester Towers
well, and the bishop too, for that matter
don't worry, i'm not expecting anyone to get it
it's a tragedy that hardly anyone reads Anthony Trollope these days. he's SO lovable.
phantom: porcine
90%!
The singing te5/10 or a different one?
the singing one...
Thx
Last thing I tried
yw...
Just found a place in CO
Also half of a mostly 80s band
And a cartoon character
hursh, I listened to three of Anthony Trollope's books recently. Was my first exposure to his work. After "The Warden" I did find his books quite lovable!
Never heard of him
can anyone clue the ap 6/21?
add a vowel to the 5
hello
hello...
hi there
Welki!
well i have another ap 6 that includes an extra vowel....the second ap 6 also does that?
TO!
Ap6 I have is UK sp of ap5
yes, i have that one....there is an ap 6/21 after tha pa 6/24....
I assume I need the second one then
aorry...the end should be ap 6/24...
okay first video 7 seconds in
i have only one ap 6/21
tomorrow i am seeing a band called horsegirl. looking foward
i am missing the second ap 6....so both ap 6 words build off the ap 5?
sunday i am seeing a zaxh brown band tribute
i like the zach brown band, in small quantities
I have only the sleep ones
me, too...
I have seen ZBB live several times. Are they not touring anymore?
ap 6/24 would be descriptive
well i am doing some volunteer hours then. too cold and muddy for augusta
oh yes, up to the fairgrounds - home of the "Swine Queen"
swamp queen is more like it
I don’t have ap 6/24 either
nor do i
oh wait i do now
Ok, got that
the 6/24 is the one with the extra vowel...
Thats a 7
But that just grayed that a for me so I must have the 6/24
ap 5, 6,6, 7, 5 (the last one not related)
found the 6....
oh...i see what i did....i entered a word in the wrong place in the list...
If you add words after you bulk add, hit enter and it takes you to the single word add box and you type it in to keep that from happening. On lickety
Because I have done exactly what I think you did many times
i am running two windows....one with list and one with the site....i enter words first in the site box....if it takes I enter it in the list so I will know which words i have found...
i will try what you suggested...
Well, I looked for 4s and still need 6
i am down to 3...a five and two sevens....
I just build up as many as I can and then bulk add
There really needs to be some kind of tutorial about how to use Lickety's list.
i bulk add as well...
i am done...had to look up my last two....
pelt
peon
correct, akazev....type it in the box under the letter grid...
i am not finding this grid to have easily noticed words
it's a slog...
i am heading out....goodnight all...
night
Someone put a tutorial on FB
about what
hello everyone
with tips about using lickety's list re: molly's 6:32 post
hey nan
I tried to add instructions for using lickety's list in my profile, but it's not working right now.
down to 3 P after listing
still have 104 to go with company coming in 1/2 hr, so probably won't finish
yeah, this grid is terrible
would like to find an 8 though - what are they?
dr8 and te8
compounds?
no, the dr builds off dr6 but is apparently a fish. the te starts with the singer.
looks like a mineral
singer - what singer?
te5
male range
oh a voice not a specific singer
got it, ty
and just in time
and the fish - ty
yw. firewords for me. good night!
99 bottles of beer on the wall.... Grats, carla
