Clues are up
thanks, lickety
more than half way and no 7's or 8 :(
thanks Lickety! Morning babblers
My only ca7 cau
Causes me to hear Thurbers Mrs Barrows cackle.
The phantoms are killing me tonight - bifurcate, waffle, fluid, lurid. *sigh*
canyon, react...
urea
sorry!
popping in briefly before dinner, and going to grandson's cake and coffee night for his 12th birthday. * hugs * sprite. * hugs * matty. * hugs * rebel.
*hugs rose* Hello darling, have a terrific time :D
hard to believe he's 12 already. big kids school next year.
ikr? I remember him being born. It is crazy.
so early dinner here, as we are expected over there at 7pm. at least i remembered to buy him a card, and get some money out for him, despite the anaesthetic this morning...lol
you rock :)
we waved caya off on her vacation. Lewi will stay with us and Juno and lauryn are visiting their brother in Paris!
and please no scolding , but i've cleaned the bathroom this afternoon, and done 3 loads of washing.
:D
i hope she travels safe and well, and comes home thoroughly refreshed. and wow! Juno is really becoming very independent aren't they?
isn't it awesome? BY TRAIN!
wow !!again.
i am so proud of what they are achieving.
me too.
did you have another bumpy night, honey?
yeah. Though Rob is sleeping easier, it seems.
* sigh * i would love it if you could get some continuous nights under your belt. i so feel how de-energised you must be. good though with Rob. Is he taking the meds you got him?
oh yes he is, lol. You would see a tiny mushroom cloud over the netherlands if he wouldn't. Taking his vitamins too. Working on getting him back in working order. I am a little better though. Got quite a bit done yesterday and Rob helped.
well done you. and good on Rob for helping. we are back at square one with Don's hip and thigh pain. He's still paying off the steroid injection procedure unfortunately, so can't have the ultrasound of the soft tissues around his hip.
ugh, how frustrating
ikr? of course i can't tell exactly how much pain he is going through. we were trained to accept what a patient says about their pain, as we can't actually monitor, or track, a patient's pain.
yeah that is the rub. Knowing Don, you can easily divide it by half. But then again, what if this time it really is a 10/10?
exactly. i just wish he could be just a little more stalwart, and not groan, gasp, and yelp each time he moves. if i did that he would have moved out by now.
ikr?! Same here! I awake with my heart going 100 miles a minute every time Rob moves, he makes dramatic sounds and isn't even aware. If I did that... same thing as you.
maybe we should put them together in the same house, and we can be in the other. let them find out what it's like.
I am all for that.
hmmmm, noise cancelling head phones?? i wonder if i could get a price reduction for buying in bulk...lol
I have those but cannot wear them in bed, lol.
fi4flies. Tough one. Fun though.
honey, enjoy your family and the about to be a teenager Braxton :) *hugs*
WTG SPRITE !!
* hugs * honey
without expert this game is beginning to be a chore instead of fun.. just my opinion
it is ivesyj, I rarely finish
takes me twice as long peri.and sometimes i have to go to work i dont think they would accept the excuse i had to finish babble lol
I have been babble for over 20 years!! We did not have Babble Expert then. But I got used to it quickly.
i cant remember for sure but i think there was expert when i started. it been awhile since i started too
IIt is a lot more work copying your list and pasting it into ADD/BULK on Lickety's List.
Oops, It
yes it is molly. ! back and forth .ugh
as a mac user I've never had expert. just copy/paste bulk add when I get to under 30 left. Now back before lickety's list when I used a spreadsheet with a list someone posted into their profile - that was a lot of work.
I guess it does take me a lot longer than some people to finish. I thought I was just slow.
PSA - airbed is not a word
phantom belfry
and belief
O stats pls
oy4
ty
why won't it take the pt for lu4?
the lu4/7
.
;
It may make things worse but in my profile, I've tried to list the steps I take to sorta make up for loss of Expert. It is a sincere effort to fill the gap.
that's nice but we can't click on your icon
can't you click on the little red shirted icon?
thanks...didn't know you could do that
phantoms: airway, railway
well if airway and railway are phantoms so is belfry
yeah...Carla already said that
I've never used expert, just lickety
I don't even know what the difference is?
why use expert we are all experts at babble now
I'd say
:)
Lickety and expert are the same, I think.
I
I'm not sure why people would complain about the lack of expert then, since lickety is right there! and so helpful when you're stuck on those stupid words
According to Molly...they aren't
There you go. I'm wrong.
Expert (used to) automatically put words you entered into the list. I don't use it any more (my personal computer is a Mac). It's useful - but remember, it was (is) free and made by Likety and with the change in hosting for this site, there may be bugs that Lickety just doesn't have time to fix
I use lickety clues...not sure what the difference is.
So the clues are the same - Expert just made the entry of those clues to the game and the list seamless
oh so just lickety but with one less step? I just... bulk add and then fill in the words I don't have as I go?
lickety and expert are not the same bea.. if you enter a word it puts it in the right place with lickety you have to guess especially if you have a large grid and multiple co7 words or re7 words for example
Expert makes it MUCH less likely you'll accidentally enter words you mean to enter in the grid into the chat - IIRC, if you type only ONE word, it treats it like a guess, but more than one word goes into the chat
It was a cool little app - but again, free and voluntary - kinda no point in complaining :)
you can just put the word in at the top, ru, it'll put it in the right place
people on expert post words in the grid all the time matty
and also two letters like NU
Mo
tu
Ah - my mistake - it's been so long since I used it :)
I feel like there ought to be more words with the F suffix today... hmmm
I tried it once but it was just too cumbersome for my brain
I just copy and paste for lickety clues
i've only found two mael
It was good to see zoom yesterday.
it sure was
I've always been worried about him
the kindest person here in my opinion
three with that f mael
Good morning, Babblers. :)
But rawful isn't one of them.
Hope they don
make that 4 now
I wonderr why hospitals keep their temps so cold?
how is your mom bea/ what kind of surgery did she have if it's not too personal
I can testify to that. Our Operating rooms are like a wak-in cooler!
Walk*
Surgery #1 was Tuesday and they pinned her pelvis back together. Surgery #2 was supposed to be yesterday, but is was rescheduled for today. They will secure her pelvis to L3 on the spine to prrovide more stability.
did she fall?
Surgery #3 is a rerverse shoulder replacement. Yes, she fell.
oh sorry.. that's bad news
Yes, it is terrible.
I have four with the f, technically
horrible news Bea, I hope it's a quick recovery!
that's my big fear with my ex wife too she's so much more fragile now
Mom is spunky. With therapy, she will be back at it soon.
Bea, please give your mum our best, and hopes for a speedy recovery.
She hit her head too, but no concussion, thank goodness.
I hope so.. sounds like a long process though
well that's one blessing then I'm really sorry
you don't have a lot of stairs around your house though do you?
She will have to go to rehab, but she told me she would not be there long. I have a long list of things she wants done in her room while she is there.
Mom has no stairs to navigate.
She said she was feeling woozy and was trying to get to the bed when she missed and hit the floor.
oh jeez
that's me too sometimes ... too much wine at dinner though :D
She has two large skin tears on her arm that they are managing as well.
wow.. just in the bedroom.. did her falling wake you up?
well... I hope she's right and has a speedy recovery
It was the middle of the afternoon. I was at a seminar and Larry was out mowing the yard.
omg
you got lucky ...if that's anything
5 f' endings now mael
It is heartbreaking to see her like this.
I bet
Thanks for the good thoughts, crossy.
got to go.. best wishes to your mom for a speedy recovery
Bea, I learned when I took the oldest to the ER once and he was there for a while (and I was freezing), you can ask the nurse for a blanket for yourself and they will bring a nice, warm one.
Thanks, Carla. I always hate to bother them.
I know. I would have never thought to ask but my friend who worked at the hospital as a speech path encouraged me to ask.
I've been dressing warmer and bringing an extra shirt.
yeah, I was caught off guard that time but if I know I'm going I dress warmer. same for the dentist office.
morning, all
lol, just made up a random A word on 4th row to get to half
welki!
74 left but HOET after first pass. TTFN
I just heard Hulk Hogan is the 3rd death.
As soon as I heard, I told my husband "that's #3!"
Apparently I don't know B words.
Or F's
yeah, these are super hard. I found 11 B and 19 F
I hope you found the bottom F. ;) took me a bit to see it.
I did. I have 24F and 14 B plus that bottom corner. BBL!
bye
Funny that Champ used #3. We just had a seminar at work on business writing and were told not to use # to denote "number" anymore because people read it as "hashtag" now. I guess not all people.
well, that is certain generations that do.
people don't use it for lbs anymore either
I guess to be careful you are understood it is best to write out the word number
and speaking of lbs. I have seen people write pds. LIke, what?
I mean lbs makes no sense at all (maybe I should research the origin) but still
hmm, for the latin "libra"
heidy ho good neighbours
first thing i see is hokie doing a spoiler lol
huh, didn't even have that. didn't know it was on enable.
hehe
and it just so happened from where i left off this morning that L was my next letter to work on
now the Bs are a bit tricksy today
phantoms: fail, failure
maybe the Fs are harder than the Bs
name that proper noun! a real estate website
almost cerulean
wow i only see one 7 called and not the 8

ttfn
bi7.44 and li7.36
that's nefarial
Aerie
Sorry
hi all. help with fi8 pls.
I have no 7s either
found li7/36
We are getting to the time when it's going to be more than 3. Chuck Mangione died. Best known for "Feels So Good". So many greats are "getting to that age".
I missed seeing zoom yesterday. glad to hear he is still around
either ca7b please
ca7 please
bl
earl
yeah but malcolm jamal warner wasn't getting to that age, he just drowned. :( his poor daughter - only 8 - they were both caught in the riptide and surfers brought them to shore but although she was saved, 45 mins of CPR couldn't resuscitate him. what a tragedy.
peri if you're still here, feline + avian
if there is another i do not have it
thanks brushy, I needed that
yw dorens, i'm looking for the other things mentioned, like bi7 and fi8
serious autocorrect here. HURSHY
:)
no 7's or 8's here yet, sorry
Did Mangione die today?
looks like he died on Tuesday
sometimes it takes a day or two for word to get out
irate
oops
in a slightly lesser lever of celestial stardom, Hulk Hogan has also died.
yeah i just saw that one!
I was never a wresting fan, but sometimes I'd find one of their personalities to be entertaining for a while.
Was stuck doing laundry in a local laundromat for years, always on Monday, and wrestling was on. Couple of jocks were often there, they were glued to the shows. They and the shows were both pretty funny.
ugh, i'd have had to bring headphones and a book
well, occasionally I'd have to go outside to get a break, haha.
hahahhahah
there are THREE ca7 and the one i got last was the easiest and most normal
fe7 and three fi7 also
I still need seven 7s
yeah turns out a lot of them are very weird
I've been playing all day. When they say you get no sleep in the hopsital as a patient, I understand that.
Because you get nothing done in the hopsital when you arer not a patient.
you mean as a visitor?
i think the doctors and nurses get things done
Yes.
A visitor.
who are you visiting?
Nurses get a lot of things done. Doctors get some things done.
I'm staying there with my momduring the day.
what's she in for
okay finally finished, slog even with list
maybe i had an off day, or maybe there were a lot of weird words. hard to say.
Sorry, my mom is in hospital.
*** small grid warnings**** Small
I'll be on vacation again in NY in mid august. I asked Dr. G for smaller grids while I'm gone.
