Hello, all. How's it going?

12:03 am

Jacula

Hi MrPres. Harp., Cybernan, Debs. Sorry, I'm knackered after running a marathon with Zubie. Wolfie did really well in it, but he's had to go off to deal with some toxic baby waste right now.

12:03 am

Norad

good evening all, 143...doable, I hope...

12:05 am

Morning dear gang :)

12:07 am

Norad... I spend all my time with my head buried in a2z with the 4 letter grids!! Just a big treasure hunt!

12:07 am

Krys10

hello!!

12:07 am

mrpresident

Sprite!

12:07 am

Norad

morning sprite, is that your formal wear bow tie?

12:08 am

Krys10

sprite your icon has gone formal since I've seen you last.

12:08 am

sprite

Yup, it was, from yesterday's theme ;)
Refresh and it will be gone.
Krys10, hi! Good to see you. And Norad, and mrP :)

12:09 am

Jacula

Can I just say the 'drey' IS the proper word for a squirrel's nest here in UK!?

12:09 am

Norad

I guess it could be said the fun is in the hunt...then again...it could make us nuts...

12:09 am

sprite

Hi Jac... yes you can, but it won't convince babble OR the enable dictionary :D

12:12 am

Krys10

no "sundry" - so sad

12:13 am

mrpresident

if you don't 'untag' something... how do you take the tag off!?

12:13 am

harpjane

smelly words in the grid today....

*big big hug for Woulf!*
Hi dear Woulf, how are you doing? AND the family?

12:16 am

Jacula

Well, Sprite, all the disallowed 're' and 'er' ending words are most annoying in all grids.

12:17 am

Blaze

hail and hello...... jumping right into the dance of babble

Jac... my infamous music memory friend... do you recall by chance who(m) sang the song "rock on" or blue jean queen ?? your assistance would be by appreciated to settle a family dispute.... thank you

12:17 am

Jacula

WHY do I keep seeing 'laundry' when it isn't in the grid but IS in my house??? GRRRRRR!

12:17 am

GreyWoulf

We are all doing well, sprite -- though I just got finished with one of the most toxic diapers I have ever handled -- and he isn't even 2 weeks old yet! ;D

grey... I love the black sticky ones that you can't clean off unless you use agent orange!!!

12:19 am

Jacula

Just found a du4/6 that is an inch thick in my house! LOL.

Wolfie - toxic, tarry nappies (what you lot Over The Pond call 'diapers') are par for the course.

12:20 am

sprite

I am really proud of him, Woulf ;)
As should you... after the vapours have gone, of course.
How is Kristen?

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

she is recovering well from the surgery, though not as quickly as she would like :)

12:21 am

sprite

Jac, that is because you can D4, but you cannot Red6. It isn't our fault! If

12:21 am

Blaze

spoken like a true mother...

12:23 am

Krys10

Nifty O6/21

12:23 am

GreyWoulf

Blaze -- thanks to you, I have that song in my head!!! And I never remember artists so now it is driving me nuts too! :D

12:23 am

sprite

So Kirsten needs your help to keep some patience with her recovery, Woulf ;) She'll be fine in no time.
Jac, what I was typing before I got interrupted by some spontaneous posting: if we can D4 only once, we cannot help it if the house gets filthy, right?

12:23 am

Jacula

tried redu***, Sprite. Didn't work though. Damn those blasted re's!

12:24 am

Krys10

I don't even know the song you're talking about but it's gotten Bell Bottom Blues stuck in my head! Vicarious sympathy to you. :)

12:24 am

Blaze

Oh my... so sorry wolfie... I can relate it has been rattleing in mine for two days... and trying to down load it... and arguing with the house mates who is the singer... we are daft for sure...(passes champers to clear head)

12:24 am

dalmatian5

I wanted to use relenter yesterday and the grid said no way. I mean if I relent why can't I be the relenter?

12:25 am

mrpresident

dalmatian!!

12:25 am

Krys10

tee hee i was trying to follow the DU conversation but I was using the wrong DU - very funny but makes a lot more sense your way!!

12:27 am

sprite

Blaze, does this help?
http://lirama.net/song.p lp/20198/20198

12:28 am

sprite

Lol Krys1... if you mean the D4 I am looking at now, I don't want that kneedeep in my house! Not even a little bit ;)

12:28 am

Jacula

I guess you've all already found the mushrooms and puffballs at fu5/22?

12:28 am

GreyWoulf

darn computer locked up as I was posting---

I know, sprite -- that's why all the midnight feedings have been mine and will be til I start the new job on Monday :)

12:28 am

harpjane

Jac, those are part of the smelly theme!

12:28 am

mrpresident

I am a total, flipping drongo without BJ stats!

12:30 am

sprite

Who needs stats this early in the hunt? Let words surprise you, LOL.

12:31 am

dalmatian5

This one isn't turning out to be as easy as all those 4 letter words made it sound.

12:31 am

harpjane

I had all the music mistakes I made yesterday in church, going around in my head. We call them brain worms. I finally got rid of them with a rousing chorus of Zipadee Doo Dah. Works every time.

12:32 am

Blaze

Sprite thanks I got david essex from that info.... it may just be the answer for all...

12:32 am

sprite

Blaze, did you check the link? After removing the spaces of course?

12:32 am

sprite

Sorry, posted the same sec you did :)
Glad it helped!

12:32 am

Jacula

I never go for the stats until I've roamed around the grid at least 3 times doing steam of consciousness stuff.

12:33 am

Krys10

(for those of you jonesing for stats)
so far:

A6/30
O6/21
R6/27
S6/21
S6/24
T6/39

E7/40
R7/40

12:33 am

Jacula

or even stReam of consciousness stuff.

12:33 am

Blaze

that is just one more reason I love coming here....Thanks again... I bookmarked it for later too...

12:33 am

harpjane

32 minutes and the longest word I have is 6 letters...

12:33 am

sprite

Got to be away for a little while, help the kids get started. Back later, happy hunting to you all!
*Extra hug for Woulf and family* Nice to see you again!

12:35 am

GreyWoulf

same here sprite!! (*HUG*)

12:35 am

harpjane

speaking of music, a classical cellist just showed up on Jay Leno? Yoyo perhaps? I can't tell, my reception is terrible but the sound is great!

12:38 am

mab

harpjane, I don't have tv, but I wonder if its Matt Heimevitz (sp), since he's just had a cd out that is somewhat unusual -- I think it might be called Hungarian Goulash?

12:40 am

chic

56 words and I'm off.... Nite, All!

12:41 am

Debs40ish

G7/52

12:42 am

harpjane

mab, it was Yo-yo Ma and John Williams.

12:43 am

Blaze

I ike the sound of that name Yo Yo Ma.....it makes me smile

12:43 am

tbear

Morning Babblers.....choosing todays icon reminded me that there have been other times in my life when I lived in front of a screen......not good!!

12:44 am

mrpresident

nite chic!

12:44 am

tbear

Blaze did you get an answer to your music question.....I thought it was David Essex

12:45 am

Blaze

t bear.... what does that mean... I am getting sleepy and a little slow

12:45 am

Jacula

51 words here and I'm feeling pretty peed off with the last words someone here in the house said to me...

However, I will remain positive...

12:45 am

Blaze

Yes.... Sprites.... website was a wondeer thank you

12:46 am

harpjane

98 words to find, off to sleep! later.

12:48 am

tbear

Blaze...used to play Sonic much too much

12:49 am

Krys10

Ack! I can't believe droid and droids aren't being accepted! And Sith is valid! I guess the power really is on the Dark Side, Luke...

12:49 am

Blaze

tbear.... got it... I can relate... not sonic but similar....

12:49 am

mrpresident

Jac, you know my answer to that crap......

12:49 am

mab

I've heard of their collaberation, harpjane. I like John Williams's film work, and of course I have an enormous crush on Yo Yo. I have the soundtrack of Shindler's List. Yitzhak Perlman plays on it..

12:50 am

Blaze

Jac... I keep seeing your laundry too.... and now widow.... I am very daft tonight...

12:53 am

Jacula

Blaze - see 'tush', which isn't there either. But make it a tough tush!

12:54 am

tbear

Are you guys all hallucinating.......Time to quit!!!

12:54 am

Blaze

tis the eyes of babble playing tricks on us all... LOL

12:56 am

Jacula

Which is now I'm seeing Joey (from Friends) in the grid when there is no 'j'! Hey! How YOU doin'? LOL.

12:57 am

Blaze

hmmm the image of Matt LeBlanc will keep me going for a while longer.... ROFLOL

12:57 am

Jacula

Next best thing to The Fonz! LOL.

12:59 am

Krys10

No "ersatz" either *sigh* I'm going to clean up in the office and head home - back in an hour or so!

1:00 am

Blaze

I am taking my tired eyes to bed now..... see you tomorrow

1:01 am

tbear

Goodnight Blaze..

1:02 am

GreyWoulf

G'nite Blaze (*Hug*)

cybernan

a 6/21

1:03 am

Jacula

Playing an old Scott McKenzie song for Krys now: 'Let's go to San Francisco.... flowers in their hair...etc.'

Failing that, Frankie Ole Blue Eyes? 'I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hilll...'

1:04 am

Krys10

I'm being serenaded! How sweet :)

1:07 am

sprite

Back! Well... stealing time here, but the kids are packing now and will be on their way to school in 10 minutes. I will kiss and hug them then, but until then... the hunt goes on! I am finding this a very nasty grid.

1:08 am

cybernan

That g7 is eluding me!

1:08 am

Jacula

S'a pleasure K. Any song you want, just ask!

1:08 am

tbear

sprite....seems a bit nasty...doesn't it

1:08 am

Krys10

I'm having fun with this one - have conquered the upper right hand corner of the board, must look for Nan's A6 when I finish cleaning up the office and driving home!

1:09 am

Krys10

The G7 kind of rhymes with the T6.

1:09 am

sprite

The nasty ones are always the most fun, lol. Must be something SM in me.

1:10 am

Jacula

K & Sprite - you are sadists! LOL.

1:10 am

Krys10

No no! we keep playing - we must be masochists.

1:11 am

sprite

I'd say we were on the masochistic end of the spectrum :)

1:12 am

Jacula

S&M then?:-) LOL.

1:15 am

cybernan

Ha! - got it!

1:15 am

cybernan

TY, Krys. The s 6 you are looking for is a pural.

1:16 am

Jacula

I'm glad you've got it, Cybernan. I haven't yet, though!

1:17 am

Krys10

Ack! Thanks Nan - can't believe I missed that when I had the A4 and A5!

1:17 am

Krys10

Vacuuming! I must vacuum! Love you all - later!

1:19 am

sprite

Bye Krys10!

1:20 am

cybernan

Jacula - think overdone decor

1:20 am

cybernan

Bye Krys

1:26 am

Jacula

Just wondering why anyone 'must' vacuum! Who for? Why? Sorry! Must be my age. LOL.

1:26 am

sprite

"All we are is D4 in the wind..."

1:27 am

GreyWoulf

I keep seeing custard where there isn't any, and I don't mean in my fridge :D

1:28 am

Jacula

Oh well, thanks, GW, for giving me yet another non-word to obstruct me!

1:29 am

tbear

f5/22 is a fun one

1:29 am

sprite

I think we should get extra points for every almost-there-word and every associative find.

1:30 am

Jacula

Since I'm always doing laundry, I keep seeing 'dryer'.

1:31 am

sprite

My washing machine crashed for the 2nd time in one week. :(

1:31 am

tbear

That c word should really not be allowed

1:31 am

Jacula

Sprite - indeed we should! Please have words with Dr_God.

1:32 am

sprite

I am afraid Jamie doesn't listen to me :(

1:33 am

Jacula

tbear- thanksfopr the cu word. Hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out!

1:33 am

tbear

horrid isn't it!!

1:34 am

sprite

While 'clit' isn't allowed... goes to figure. Babble is male.

1:36 am

tbear

while we're on the nether regions a4....

1:37 am

sprite

Thanks! Didn't see that one. Bowel... errr... vowel words are always harder for me.

1:37 am

Jacula

Thing is, the dictionaries on here do not mention the fact that it is an old germanic term, kunta. Once was an accepted phrase, and one that what not derogatory, as it now is..

1:38 am

tbear

Sprite so you've found your uncles wife??

1:39 am

sprite

Well, yes, but I just cannot find the 2nd E-word from the upper left E. I am a little over halfway and already am using the stats panel, this is BAD!

1:40 am

tbear

Only have e4/6 from that corner Sprite

1:40 am

sprite

I've got the newts. Argh!

1:40 am

Jacula

Sprite - ou are the No.1 Babbler. You can't say that!

1:41 am

sprite

tbear: mine is E4/7! Together we have them both then.

1:42 am

Jacula

You mean you don't do the words without clues, BJ, the stats panel?

1:42 am

sprite

Jac, I claim the right to be stupid, blonde, thick and very dumb every day!

1:42 am

GreyWoulf

tbear & sprite - they both have the same start and end

1:43 am

sprite

Jac: I start without, then, when I get really stuck, which is today halfway, but usually a little later (LOL), I use the stats panel. And clues and hints in the log I use as soon as they appear :)

1:43 am

tbear

sprite.......whadda team.... :)

1:43 am

sprite

Thanks Woulf, will look. I want 'ents' but babble doesn't like Tolkien.

1:44 am

tbear

Thx New Daddy......

1:45 am

tbear

Sprite....can you C it now

1:45 am

GreyWoulf

yw tbear

1:45 am

sprite

Yeah! Newts and coins, got them now! Thanks Woulf, for the rescue attempt for my sanity :D

1:45 am

Jacula

Wolfie - what are you doing back here? YOu should be sleeping.

There again, I do reallly HATE IT when people who don't really know me tell me when I should be asleep or awake...

1:46 am

GreyWoulf

I always jump at the chance to clue you, sprite! ;D

1:46 am

sprite

LOL Woulf! I am far more often clueless than you think! :)

1:48 am

tbear

r4 communists

1:49 am

Jacula

That being the case, Sprite, how did you get to be No. 1 Babbler?

1:49 am

GreyWoulf

The prob, Jac, is that Seb is not sleeping -- his lethal nappie seems to have overstimulated him -- he is resting over my heart now, but is not out... and will most likely be hungry again fairly soon

1:50 am

sprite

Pure coincidence, Jac.
Woulf... what a sweet image does that paint in my mind! Babbling with Sebastian on your heart... creating a new addict so very early in life! You are a great dad.

1:52 am

sprite

Eh? Remove a tag from something... that should be valid, right?

1:53 am

Jacula

Wolfie - do you have a webcam and mic?

1:53 am

tbear

no sprite....don't think so...nice try tho

1:54 am

GreyWoulf

Jac -- I wish I did -- would make sharing so much easier :)

He finally dropped off so I put him in the bassinet here in the living room with me -- I expect him to be up in about an hour wanting his next meal :)

1:55 am

Jacula

Oh heck! We're not off on the old 're' search again, are we? Have no botheration for that right now. fu4/13 it for now.

1:55 am

broll

Darn! It won't take cudzu! Isn't that the plant that grows uncontrollably in the southern US?

1:55 am

tbear

Right....not even half way....it's outrageous. Back later...happy babbling folks :)

1:55 am

sprite

Nope... we were on the 'un' search. But close.

1:56 am

sprite

Bye tbear, hi broll :)

1:56 am

broll

Hi all.

1:57 am

tbear

Sorry....CAN'T believe re + d5 is a proper word.....lol ciao

1:57 am

GreyWoulf

so long tbear

Hi broll -- it's spelled with a K

(*hugs*)

1:58 am

sprite

Well, finally got all 3 7s. 'Bout time, I guess. One I should have found much earlier. The other is... well... a bit new for me.

1:59 am

broll

rats. That would have been 28 pts.

2:00 am

cybernan

If there is a un word there is only one -- the other u word does not begin with un.

2:01 am

sprite

Neither of them is 'un'.
I do have some "re"s though.

2:01 am

cybernan

un4: without help minus the last letter

2:02 am

sprite

LOL, you are right. It is 'un' but not in the meaning of "not".

2:06 am

broll

Finally got the last e on the bottom. It's a stupidhead word. e4/8

2:06 am

Jacula

Once you have falllen out of love with someone, why can you not unad5/12 them?

2:07 am

mari

Morning all - how many words today please?

2:07 am

cybernan

Got the r's locked down. Still missing one 6, but have 115 words now, so I'm heading for my pillow. See you tomorrow. :)

2:08 am

Jacula

143 words, Mari.

2:08 am

sprite

Bye nan!
Broll, that stupidhead word we know in alt. spellings. This one IS strange.

2:09 am

GreyWoulf

77 here with only 2 6's and 1 7 :)

2:09 am

mari

Thanks Jacula

2:10 am

sprite

Still need 9 more, but finally got the biggies. Even the G5/14 that is also a biggie.

2:12 am

cybernan

Can't pass that one up Sprite ( stopped for e stupidhead)...

Which 6 am I missing?:
a, o, r, sx2, t

2:13 am

sprite

A6 x 2

2:13 am

Jacula

cybernan - when Jack planted the runaway beanstalk, who did he find atop it?

2:13 am

sprite

R6 x3

2:14 am

sprite

plus F6. That's 10, right?

2:15 am

cybernan

It's the f 6 that I'm missing (had 2 a's)

2:17 am

sprite

Charcoal stick or drawing made with that.
Start with making a problem, loose last letter, then connect with a holy person and loose last letter again.

2:18 am

Krys10

hello back again. Thanks for all the hints while I was vacuuming :)

2:19 am

sprite

Welcome back, Krys! That was a smart move, vacuuming :)

2:21 am

GreyWoulf

gotta go -- screen is blurring
Night all!!
(*Hugs*)

2:21 am

cybernan

Thanks for the clue, Sprite -- can't come up with the holy person (too tired!)

2:21 am

sprite

*Hugs for Woulf and Seb*
Sleep well, both of you!

2:22 am

cybernan

Nite, GW -- I'm right behind you.

2:22 am

sprite

You probably have that person already. S5/10.

2:23 am

cybernan

I did and thank you ... have all the 6's and 7's now and can go to bed smiling :)

2:24 am

broll

Night nan and gw

2:24 am

sprite

Sweet dreams, nan!

2:25 am

sprite

I am done... and running off too. Any more clues needed before I take my leave of this wonderful company?

2:26 am

Jacula

the saint is an 'st'? But screen's blurring for me, also. Time I flew!

2:26 am

Krys10

Good morning Mari - I thought you were kidding when you said the first thing you did in the morning was switch on Playbabble

2:34 am

2:35 am

much of a winter at all.

5:00 am

er 7 40 happens to shores

any clue for the ga 7?
Thanks

5:02 am

brandyjack

I wasn't ignoring you earlier Jacula, I was sleeping.

5:04 am

Dianne

mad - that's for the clues - I'll start hunting.
For the Ga think really tarted up.

5:04 am

hydra

ga7: cheap or pretentious display

5:12 am

lshult

Hi everyone,
thanks for the ga7 clue, Hydra.
It also gave me the ga4 & 5 that I hadn't spotted.

5:14 am

lshult

the er7 still eludes me despite Mad's clue?

5:15 am

mad

weather conditions cause it
I'm sure the ga 7 is staring me in the face but I'm not seeing it!!

5:16 am

trishtrash

ish, what wind and water are doing to the shoreline (and what this grid is doing to my brain ;)

mad, ga+ last vowel+ sounds like where cows are milked

5:17 am

Dianne

lshutt - think of somethin wearing away. Same ending as the Re7.

5:18 am

lshult

got it, it was the obvious ending that was hiding from me!!

5:18 am

lshult

Still 53 words to go, but at least all the 7's are done!!

5:18 am

brandyjack

I kept trying to use the ion before i realised that the 'ION' wasn't even there.

5:19 am

Dianne

I had the same problem - and when I first looked at the grid I said that that would be a good ending for any biggies - DUH, then I forgot about it.

5:19 am

Chessy

brandyjack, thanks again for stats :)

5:20 am

brandyjack

You're welcome. Sorry they were late today, but had to get a nap in before driving my daughter off to waterloo and buffalo toady.

5:50 am

Atalante

I wonder if its spelt differently in American?

5:50 am

Karys

with an 'a' perhaps ?

5:51 am

Atalante

I think it does accept dray - but isnt that a type of cart?

5:52 am

Karys

it is for us....but perhaps it's both for them

5:52 am

spellit

Now you are talking ! A dray is a beer wagon...

5:52 am

Karys

Eva

hi guys-well, as the only american conversing right now (feel like I'm representing my country at the Olympics), I have never heard the word drey before...dray yes, as the cart, but not drey as a nest. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but not as normal vocabulary.

7:20 am

Atalante

every word is needing to be squeezed out painfully from the grid now!

7:21 am

Karys

7:23 am

Atalante

7:25 am

Karys

makes me wonder whether I'm getting braindead !

9:24 am

Haz1558

Ah, but where would we be without vowels?

9:25 am

smithchick

True, true...

9:28 am

smithchick

I've been trying my hardest to get it to accept audi because that's a car... Finally, I saw the error of my ways.

9:29 am

Vicuna

Perhaps I should have said ANY car, not A car!

9:29 am

Haz1558

It shows the power of advertising, doesn't it?

9:29 am

Jera

Well, that's it for me... does anyone need help before I go?

9:31 am

9:31 am

Jera

I like exclamation points!!

9:37 am

Jera

Poor baby! Mine has been complainign about a headache the past day or two, on & off...

9:37 am

mab

I guess that's true, Jera. It's so odd how one is perfectly fine one moment, and then half of an hour later, one's head is swimming. Take care.

9:38 am

smithchick

My littlest was trying her hardest to be sick, too. The thought of her older sister staying home was almost enough to make her that way. She took her temperature about seven times. LOL.

9:39 am

smithchick

Get some good rest, jera. That's usually the best thing.

9:39 am

Jera

Thanks... if I'm not needed, i will take my bow...

i know, ch1212, i had to go with babble as well, i don't really play a lot of computer games. esp not with characters. and i didn't know what counted - i used to play super mario, but is a video game diff from a computer game?

9:49 am

ch1212

Thanks, easterblue -- you are there too, in blue of course. I used WordArt, created it, then scanned it as a photo.

9:49 am

billie1987

u are giving me the same clues

9:50 am

ch1212

I think video game would count, hurshy, but when I saw yours I immediately thought, 'how cool! I should have used that -- it counts for Scrabble too, another favorite.

9:50 am

billie1987

i have that one its 50 ce--- new album

hurshy

9:52 am

hurshy

which one is babbler, the blue one on the top left?

9:52 am

ch1212

evandine, greywoulf, templeowl, smaller... trying to remember everyone I put in. Didn't want it to be too small so I had to limit, unfortunatley

9:52 am

hurshy

we are all upset about that one mary. :)

9:52 am

Atalante

9:52 am

9:53 am

smithchick

WooHoo!!!!! Atalante!!!!!!!!!!!!!Congrats! !!!!!!!!!!!!

9:53 am

hurshy

who is the yellow one with the black squiggle under it?

9:53 am

9:54 am

EasternBlue

Woo Hoo Atalante!!!

9:54 am

9:54 am

9:55 am

That's brandyjack, with anj in a curve right under.

9:55 am

9:56 am

hurshy

oh, i get it! 'sok eb - i'm so exciting trying to figure out ch1212's icon! :)

9:56 am

hurshy

towards the right is peri, right?

9:56 am

hurshy

so am i the blue one in the top middle?

9:57 am

hurshy

and is that jera in the bottom left corner?

9:57 am

ch1212

yes and yes, hurshy... and then ja314 is bottom left, but he's only there because he's our newly addicted babbler, and my beloved spouse. :) couldn't leave him out!

9:58 am

ch1212

abd bottom middle is hugabugs, though haven't played with him/her in awhile.

9:58 am

hurshy

ohhh, so who's between him and peri?

9:59 am

smithchick

That's neat that your spouse is addicted, too. You couldn't get mine on here if life as we knew it was going to come crashing to an end unless he got on.

9:59 am

hurshy

who's in the top right corner?

10:00 am

smithchick

Can anyone tell me what 7 I'm missing? I've got er7/40 and re7/40.

10:00 am

smaller

morning all!

ch1212-i'm so honored!!! Babble convention at Big Horn Camp near Plains on May 20th. Can you make it?!! If you come, there will be 3!!!
Nice icon, hursh!!!

10:00 am

hurshy

and who's the red-and-white one under babbler?

10:00 am

ch1212

He was like that at first, smithchick -- he even went online and found (apparently) the software program brandyjack uses, trying to convince me to use it. I refused to stop playing, or to use it. So... he figured better to join me. We have a lap top and wireless he uses, and play on weekends together.

My hubby is not into any games at all. He can suffer through a card game if he has to, but doesn't enjoy word games or board games. He'll spend a little time on flight simulator or other action computer games, but that's about it.

mab,
nope. sorry. plains, montana

10:16 am

Droid is so a word. Doesn't enable read J.D. Robb books?

10:17 am

Eva

I know smith-very annoying and yes I read her books. Love them!

10:19 am

mab

Ooooh, Montana. Probably nicer than Plains, Georgia, which is simply flat, rural red-earth peanut country. I did visit the Carter family plot, however (Jimmy).

10:19 am

smithchick

Just finished the new one last night. Eve was actually not in peril for a change. Good book. Next up is the new Lisa Gardner.

10:21 am

smaller

mab..
!!!!! so can you make it?!!! then we'd have 4.
lol.
that's about half the montana population right there!

10:22 am

Eva

What's the new one called? I picked up some of the romances once by mistake and didn't like them so much, but love mystery ones.

10:23 am

ch1212

Gosh, you're right, smaller ... and if I come over from Idaho, my state will be half-emptied too! :)

10:23 am

mab

So many players here read science fiction and fantasy. I wonder if that's because those are very popular genres, or if this site attracts those readers, or if it's a coincidence. I don't read either (never could make it through even Tolkien).

10:24 am

smaller

LOL ch1212!
True!! You know, we should have a breeding program at the same time as our convention. get some new DNA in the idaho/montana mix

10:25 am

smithchick

The new one is Memory In Death.

10:25 am

ch1212

mab, you have a point. I went to a Catholic seminary for awhile (the token female, I think) and by FAR the most popular genre for leisure time reading was science fiction and fantasy. I wondered about it too. Of course, not too much, because I'm a huge SF fan too.

10:25 am

ch1212

LOL, LOL! smaller

10:26 am

smithchick

Can I get another clue for the ga7/52? I'm not getting it.

10:26 am

mab

Idaho, Montana -- that's such beautiful country; I don't understand why more people don't live there.

I couldn't make it to Montana, smaller, or Georgia, but thanks.

10:27 am

smithchick

Never mind, just got it.

10:29 am

Mab,
Think of montana as just another M state like yours. We're just on the other side of Michigan which is the M state next to you. See. VERY CLOSE. just drop by

Geography 101 by smaller

10:32 am

mab

I like fiction that is set in regular human time with human characters, for the most part. Call me crazy....

I'm reading 'Emotionally Weird' by Kate Atkinson. British writer, very story-tellerish, about families, relationships. She's brilliant - funny, complex. 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum' is one of my favorite books.

10:33 am

Punster

can someone give me a clue for the ta6/39? I just can't get it :(

10:34 am

smaller

ok I'm an idiot!
i still can't get the ga7.
can i have an elementary clue please?

10:34 am

Punster

Nevermind, got it. Easy one too...

10:34 am

Bugzy

LOL Smaller :)
And mab, I'm an avid reader too, but I could never get into SF/fantasy. Mysteries, especially historical mysteries & contemporary fiction are my mainstays.

10:34 am

smithchick

I'm not a big reader of science fiction usually, but my sister had me read a J.D. Robb book, and I really liked it. Good character development. I like reading series because I'm usually not ready to be done with a character if he/she is really well written.

10:35 am

Eva

punster-ends with 3 letter word for what you do with a towel. Means cheap, sleazy.

10:35 am

smithchick

ga7- think tacky clothing.

10:35 am

smaller

punster...

now don't be too hasty! clue please?!! please please?!!

10:36 am

Bugzy

ga7 = ga4/8 + vowel + consonent + sometimes vowel

10:37 am

cybernan

Good Morning, Everyone

10:37 am

mab

smaller, wasn't it a good idea that our founding fathers had to arrange the states alphabetically? Geniuses, they were.

10:37 am

Eva

smaller- a very strange word-but does sound a lot like the ta6/39.

10:37 am

ch1212

hi cybernan -- love your icon... in fact, some day we should ALL show up with tiles!

10:38 am

Punster

ta6 sounds a bit like ga7.

10:38 am

smithchick

Hello, cybernan! Okay, that ta6 isn't so easy for me. Clue, anyone?

10:38 am

Bugzy

Hi Cybernan :)

10:39 am

Eva

smith-have you tried any of the "mysteries" by Roger Tannebaum? (Can never remember if it's 2 n's or 1) There quite a long series of them with Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi and I find the characters wonderful. The auther was a DA in Ny for a long time, writes quite well, very witty, but they are characters you can sink your teeth into and if you start from the earliest one you can read your way through many years.

10:39 am

mab

smaller, the bright hawaiian print shirt that man is wearing is so ga***! How could anyone buy such ga*****?

Stuff an er into the word.

10:40 am

Punster

t6/39 = ta4/8 minus 1 letter + what you do with your washing

10:40 am

Bugzy

ta6/39= what Tweety says, "I tawt I t** a puddy tat" + what you do with a towel

10:40 am

Mary

Clue for the last re6/27 please?

10:40 am

cybernan

Punster -- look at the points -- that gives it away.

ta6: tacky in appearance

10:40 am

smithchick

Eva, I haven't. I'll have to try him. I love witty writers.

10:40 am

mab

smithchick, use the w for the ta word.

10:41 am

Oh!!! I was going from the wrong t. Thanks all!

re6/27: To make smaller (What I need to do with my waistline)

10:42 am

Mary, re6/27 - you re**** the number of words left to find :->

10:44 am

Mary

Duh, such an easy word. Thanx all

10:45 am

Punster

No probs Mary, anytime.

10:47 am

Bugzy

I know these are probably common babble words, but I'm not seeing them: ts's, anyone?
THanks !

10:49 am

Punster

The moment I found there were ts's, I monkey typed and got them both. Look at the points and you should figure them out - the words are almost identical.

10:49 am

Don't cha just hate it when friends and family come by and interrupt your babbling?

10:49 am

Big series running for many years, you might have heard of it - Final Fantasy.
This image is from FF7, though its up to FF12 now.

10:59 am

Bugzy

Oh yea, my ex-brother in law used to play that. In fact, one of the reasons he is now an ex is that he plays that and other games so much!

11:02 am

inge

Never heard of FF before the Detroit Symphony featured two concerts with their music last fall. Both were sold out by Internet. The audience came from some 15 states and countries and were verry well behaved.

11:03 am

inge

Final Fantasy has some beautiful music.

11:03 am

Bugzy

inge - are you in Detroit/ the metro area?

11:03 am

yes, on the west side. halfway to AnnArbor, really.

Cool ! I'm an eastsider, live in Warren now. West side to me is anything past I75 :)

11:06 am

inge

Did you mean 275? We are but two miles west of there in Northville.

11:07 am

inge

To me anything on the other side of Woodward is another country.

11:08 am

Bugzy

No, I- 75 - 275 is *really* the boonies ;)
I do have friends that live off Ann Arbor Rd in Canton, that's like another planet :)

Hi caitlyn :)
Heck yea, inge, my friend's house is about a mile or two from there. I can't wait til that place opens!

Hi Cait, morning all.

Ooh Mab, I love Luxor and Zuma! MSN has some great puzzle games!

We lived in Novi for all of two weeks.

11:14 am

Bugzy

Hi bunny - that's right by inge -- like i said, a world away from me :)

11:15 am

hurshy

mab - just reading the log... i think SF and fantasy are particularly popular among smart people, and esp among people who use computers a lot. babblers often fit into both these categories, i would think.

11:15 am

hurshy

and i love those ikea meatballs too!!!

11:15 am

hurshy

AND, if you think precalc is bad, i also teach calculus!

11:16 am

Bugzy

OK - 3 left - having trouble with 5/14s, I guess ---
sa5/14, su5/14, and ni5/14, anyone?
Thanks :)

11:16 am

hurshy

ni 5/14 rhymes with the king whose touch turned stuff to gold

11:16 am

smithchick

Ewww to both. I finally got pretty good at statistics, but that and balancing the checkbook are the extent of my math abilities.

11:16 am

hurshy

sa 5/14 marinara, pesto, bechamel

11:17 am

hurshy

su 5/14 rhymes with english t**** architecture that we are all so upset isn't counting as a word today

11:17 am

mab

I've tried nearly every msn zone game! Was addicted to Zuma for awhile. I like the utterly brainless ones that only require quich reflexes, which, by the way, I don't have, but I think it's good for me to improve in that area.

In the little customer reviews of games, some kid complained he could never get past level 8 on Luxor. I consider myself very fortunate to get past level 2!

11:17 am

hurshy

statistics has probably a much broader range of uses than calculus anyway...

11:18 am

smithchick

Well sheesh, hurshy. Math must stimulate your brain.
You are on fire.

11:18 am

Bugzy

hurshy - you are my hero !! And not just because you teach calculus!! Thank you :)

11:18 am

hurshy

i am constantly on fire. people think God is speaking to them out of me all the time. (burning bush reference, get it?)

11:19 am

smithchick

I don't do much statistics as a stay-at-home mom unless my 7th grader brings it home. I'm all about that mean, median, mode stuff.

11:19 am

bunnyvicious

Cait, the little bits are home and waving hi, refresh :)

11:19 am

smithchick

HeeHee, Hurshy. LOL. Modesty becomes you:)

11:19 am

Well, now that I'm done I must go get some sinus pills so I can actually breathe!!
See you all later :)

oh, tell them we wave back bunny.

11:20 am

hurshy

*blush*

11:20 am

mab

hurshy, I've never even studied algebra. I would really like to learn some math - it seems like it's sort of a puzzle to be solved. I have made it through statistics classes for psychology a few times - a miracle.

11:20 am

caitlyn

Hi back to the twins I bet you havnt let them out of your sight today!

11:20 am

i majored in psych and annoyed my classmates in psych stats because i found it so ridiculously easy *embarrassed look*

11:21 am

nope, they woke me au at 5:30 a.m. by turning on the lights and saying "It 8 o'clock, to get UUUUUP!"

11:22 am

neats

any clues for ta 6/39, my last one to get!

11:22 am

hurshy

mab - you should learn some math, though! i bet it would make you feel really good! i would offer to teach you but even though we live not TOO far it's probably further than you want to go for that.

11:22 am

hurshy

ta 6/39 vegas showgirls might be described as this adjective

11:24 am

smithchick

I majored in sociology. My first experience with Stats was at BYU. The teacher there wouldn't let you use a calculator and all of your formulas had to be memorized. I got a D (very traumatic). I took it again and that instructor said, "You'll never be thrown into a Turkish prison and forced to recite statistics formulas. If you are going to be doing statistics, you'll have access to a calculator and formulas. The next year, I was his grad assistant in statistics.

11:24 am

caitlyn

That is great bunny...lol hurshy..Im sitting here amazed ..you clever thing.any sort of maths always breaks me out in a cold sweat!!

11:24 am

boreetos

hi kids

11:25 am

smithchick

Hi, boreetos!

11:25 am

bunnyvicious

What a horrible teacher. I'm going back to college full time in fall, but I'm taking most of my classes via internet. Don't have to fuss with them that way, at least not til university! Hope I don't get any like that though!

11:25 am

boreetos

how is everyone doing today?

11:25 am

mab

The only way I got through statistics is by reading a book that explained in words what the numbers meant!

11:25 am

hurshy

yeah, i am very specific about what i expect students to memorize and what i don't. multiplication tables, yes. integral tables, NO. :)

caitlyn - i think that is one of the biggest problems - people are just AFRAID of math - i tell my students not to be - that it is very sensible stuff, that it is meant to be understood and if your brain is at all decent then you will be able to do it.

11:26 am

Punster

Hey neats, I gave a clue for the ta6/39 a little earlier.

11:26 am

boreetos

well if isn't the lovely good witch of the North!

11:26 am

bunnyvicious

Cait, I can barely help my fourth grader with math, I used to be good at it, just kinda went away....like my waistline!

11:27 am

hurshy

oh boreetos, that was me yesterday - i think you need to refresh (incidentally, in the books, glinda is the witch of the south - why change that for the movie, i wonder? bias towards euro-america?)

11:27 am

bunnyvicious

I'm stuck on the "N" in the top row...any clues?

11:27 am

smithchick

What I loved about that teacher (Shout out to Mr. Gerald Loyd) is that he broke everything down step-by-step. You'd have to be brain dead not to get it. Of course, I found out as his grad asst. that there were some pretty brain dead people out there.

11:27 am

hebbzy

we are all done at the cheddar cheese factory !!

11:27 am

neats

thanks hurshy all finished!

11:28 am

boreetos

hmmm, refresh, you say... I'm skeptical.

11:28 am

it's that greek temple one with all the vowels that comes up so often, bunny.

11:28 am

Congrats hebbzy and neats!!!!!!!!

nope, I was wrong. refresh is good.

I always thought if you are not good at maths you are okay with english ..probably wrong!!(i left school at 15)

well, if it isn't the good QU icon of the South!

11:29 am

Duh, I knew that one, thank you both!

11:30 am

My 13 yr. old son always scores advanced on math and reading on standardized tests. It does seem a strange combination.

11:30 am

mab

So boreetos, dude, like, what's your game?

11:30 am

hurshy

there's no reason you can't be good at both! my english teachers were always shocked when my mom told them math was my best subject.

11:30 am

Deutsch

Hi all!
Went I taugh English, I had my students memorize 20 prepositions and conjunctions.

11:31 am

boreetos

reading always came easy for me, but so did math, right through geometry. Algebra on the other hand is my kryptonite.

11:31 am

boreetos

hold up, I'm googling as we speak for a new icon.

11:32 am

smithchick

Hi deutsch! I was an odd ball who actually enjoyed diagramming sentences.

11:32 am

hurshy

we had to memorize ALL the prepositions!!! i remember that!! let's see...
aboard about above across after against along among around at before behind below beneath beside between beyond by down during except for from in into like...i think i'm losing it now...

11:32 am

Deutsch

When I started contract training, I was teaching people who were good at math. so I broke down comma rules into formulas.

11:32 am

bunnyvicious

I would have done fine in algebra if we had a decent teacher. He was the basketball coach being forced to teach a subject as well, and poorly! Slept through that class.

11:32 am

I think you lot are brilliant!! i mean that.Never mind i will just babble my days away x

bye hurshy!

11:35 am

Miyavi_fan

LOL thanks Hurshy! XD

Deutsch...oh, that again! I've just had a day of simultaneous equations, trying to saw straight, something about volcanoes (I was half asleep) and I wrote a four-page essay on comparable characters in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing in an hour @_@

11:35 am

cybernan

A bit of math psychology (in retrospect):

I do believe that some people have a greater aptitude for logical thinking than others -- unfortunately the orderly mind necessary for mathematics is not mine.
However -- conditioning is important! -- or should I say the wrong conditioning? -- I had a mother who was continually saying that she was never any good at math either, so as a child I took notion that girls were no good at math -- an idea that surely affected my performance and attention in class. Also, query, query, query -- if you don't understand ask the teacher why? -- I never did, until I needed a tutor at university because I couldn't understand the "new math" I was expected to teach. For the first time, I understood algebra rather than memorizing it.

11:35 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Bunny, thanks Lupe! XD *feeling special*

11:36 am

bunnyvicious

I remember a few years ago when a talking barbie came out that said it hated math homework and they had to recall it.

11:37 am

Deutsch

Miyavi, then, since it's two days after your birthday (happy, btw) we'll forget the sentences and definitely forget hemmingway. ( not one of my favorites)

11:37 am

boreetos

ok, I'm all gamed up now. please refesh. Hurshy said it's good to refresh. :)

11:38 am

mab

A belated happy birthday Miy!!!!!

11:38 am

Miyavi_fan

lmao, don't stop on my account! I actually enjoyed doing the Shakespeare, even though my hand is cramping up now. And my double-period tech lesson was mainly spent yelling "Daniel, can we ping your nipples?!"

Yuck, sick daughter at home just proved without a doubt that she is, in fact, quite ill. Ewww.

11:40 am

Deutsch

cyber, you are right. My mom always said I could do anything. To this day, I do anything and people ask how I did it. I say I didn't know it couldn't be done.
e.g. how'd you get that carpet out all by yourself?

Hi Miyavi -- belated birthday greetings! -- did you have a good day yesterday?

11:41 am

mab

No, boreetos, I don't think so; didn't know there was a pre-Luxor. I'm very bad at it, but it's brainless and distracting.

11:42 am

boreetos

that's just silly.

11:42 am

Hey Cyber! I had a great day thanks! ^^

gift cards it is then!

12:08 pm

Me too, Deutsch. I was going to say hubby is away so I can fu** all I want, then realized that may be misconstrued!

12:08 pm

Deutsch

evanadine, I once asked for 7 niches of gold and got a beautiful diamond cut gold bracelet!

12:08 pm

EvaNadine

ive got NO idea what the BF is planning...all i know is that hes working with some woman on my bday gift and with some guy on my vday gift...hehe

which reminds me, im still clueless for his vday gift!

12:08 pm

bunnyvicious

Eva, so close to Valentines too! Your poor boyfriend! My husband has it bad too, my b-day is Xmas Eve.

12:08 pm

smithchick

Mine is two days after Christmas. Always hated it.

lmao smith!!

12:09 pm

Deutsch

smitih, LOL

12:09 pm

smithchick

Just sayin'....

12:09 pm

bunnyvicious

Then join the forgotten club smith, Leslie is on Xmas Eve as well, we'll never have a birthday again!

12:10 pm

EvaNadine

not as bad as an xmas bday (my brothers is a week before xmas) but mine is just 5 days before vday, so the poor BF keeps complaining about that...heh

12:11 pm

smithchick

Oh, I don't know. Now that I'm married. I play up the poor, pitiful me card and gently, tearfully suggest that he can get me a really extravagant gift and it can be for Christmas, B-day and Ann.(Feb. 5). Sometimes it works.

12:12 pm

bunnyvicious

The last V-Day present I got was salt free salt, house shoes, and coco butter lotion when I was preggers with the twins, that was four years ago....

12:13 pm

EvaNadine

last year the BF bought me a gorgeous heart-shaped necklace with 3 diamonds on the heart itself + 3 diamonds on the part that hangs off the chain...its a "past, present, future" kinda thing...

since he gave it to me, ive only taken it off, maybe, 5 times...

12:14 pm

smithchick

Hubby usually gets me flowers and maybe some chocolate. Or just chocolate (depending on status of finances at time).

12:14 pm

bunnyvicious

I felt like the girl in the well on Silence of the Lambs!

12:15 pm

bunnyvicious

Believe it or not, I don't like jewelry, I feel like it's a waste of money. But with all the kids, it could be better spent on ANYTHING! I'm allergic to chocolate..I'm hard to shop for !

12:15 pm

Deutsch

Poor bunny!

12:15 pm

smithchick

How sweet, evanadine. Mine is romantic about once every four or five years. This year he got me 18 red roses for our 18th anniversary, so he won't be due again for a while. They were gorgeous. And.... he didn't get them at Wal-Mart or Pricecutter!

12:16 pm

smithchick

Dang, that is hard. I LOVE!!! jewelry. I usually decide what I want and have my mother or sister/s gently suggest to hubby what to get me. Sound strategy.

12:16 pm

bunnyvicious

Ahhh, how sweet...might e-mail this chat log to husband...

12:17 pm

smithchick

They need all the help they can get (that's been my experience, anyway). It's not like you want a tractor or anything easy like that.

12:18 pm

EvaNadine

im not huge on jewelry either, but that was our first vday, so he was trying to make a big impression, im sure. plus, he just got me diamond earrings for christmas!
i told him a diamond ring had better be the next piece of jewelry he gets me...hehe

normally i prefer to smaller, more heartfelt stuff -- last vday i gave him a gorgeous leather journal with a list of 101 reasons why i love him.
:)

12:18 pm

Schroeder

Gifts....people get gifts from their husbands...I must be have done something wrong. He took me to Montery about 20 years ago for Vday but of course we were dating then.....*sigh*

Monterey?!? I only got Red Lobster, with coupons! It's ok, he loves me very much and tells me all the time, good enough for me! He will go get a present on his own for all of the kids on their birthday instead of leaving me to shop. He even does dishes!

12:21 pm

Haz1558

You're missing au 5/14

12:22 pm

smithchick

Bummer, Schroeder. My dad never gets my mother gifts, either. Now that I'm older, I make him give me money and I get her stuff from him. Of course she knows I got it (or one of my sisters) but he isn't gonna change anytime soon. Or, she gets her own dang self something.

12:22 pm

smithchick

Thanks, haz. In the immortal words of Kathy Mattea, Where've you been?

12:22 pm

Schroeder

Yeah your right bunny, got a love a man who does dishes....I got one of those, he even cooks (I think only because he wants to eat and I work to much)

12:23 pm

bunnyvicious

the last five g's are eluding me... any help on the big one?

12:23 pm

Haz1558

I've been cleaning, dog walking etc - filling in some time now before husband comes home from evening surgery.

12:24 pm

EvaNadine

in all my other relationships (the longest being a whopping 7 months...hehe) i was the one who was always making the efforts...

but the BF now does everything for me and i feel so bad sometimes because i never do enough for him...he is SO wonderful. and this one has been around over a year + a half now!

12:24 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, haz, is that a brittany?

12:24 pm

smithchick

LeslieAnn gave a good clue for the ga7 at 12:02.

12:24 pm

bunnyvicious

I do it to myself anyway, he'll ask what I want and I'll say nothing...he thinks I really mean it!

12:25 pm

bunnyvicious

That's a good stretch Eva! Maybe you're getting a "special" ring pretty soon!

12:25 pm

Haz1558

No, Spangle is a Welsh Springer Spaniel - they're a lovely rusty colour.

12:26 pm

Schroeder

He did a little better this year for x-mas smithchick, he got me shoes.....wrong size....but at least he tried

12:27 pm

Uneaixoise

so precious! Spaniels are so sweet and adorable--I grew up with cockers and spingers--had a springer for 16 years and a cocker up till 2002 . . . now have switched to adopting shelter dogs and am loving them too!

12:27 pm

EvaNadine

we talk about it all the time!
i was actually kinda surprised i didnt get one for xmas...hehe...but i do think hes saving his pennies!
and we are in the workings of moving in together...
between the two of us, my 2 cats, and his 3 cats and tankful of fish, its gonna be a full house!!

12:27 pm

Thanks Smith, should be able to monkey em' in from there!

12:27 pm

DarleenMB

evanadine ... nice icon :-)

12:28 pm

EvaNadine

thanks darleen -- i just wish that was really me...haha

12:28 pm

DarleenMB

Are you a player? And no you don't... who wants melon sized boobs and a big butt? LOL

12:28 pm

dl88

if some of you just got your significant others hooked on babble they could pick up a few ideas.....

12:29 pm

DarleenMB

oh wait ... that would be JLo

12:29 pm

bunnyvicious

UMMM...me? Got the butt part down, lol!

12:29 pm

EvaNadine

well, i already have the big butt...haha...i wouldnt mind the small waist + tons of toned muscles though!!

i dont play the game anymore, though in college i used to play the videogame with some friends...we made it a team effort -- my job was to yell out "YETI!!" whenever i saw one...haha

12:29 pm

DarleenMB

Is it just me or is this one B**** of a grid?

12:30 pm

bunnyvicious

dl88, would have to teach him to spell first! He would give monkey typing a whole new meaning!

12:30 pm

DarleenMB

Oh I am HOOKED. I have all 6 games and have played them each at least 6 times. I LOVE IT. I hear there's a 7th in the wings ... I can hardly wait.

12:30 pm

Schroeder

Lol dl88...but then they would know to much other stuff

12:30 pm

bunnyvicious

Yup it is Dar, that darn "U"!

12:31 pm

bunnyvicious

What game is it?

12:31 pm

dl88

I guess my wife should feel blessed that I can at least spell!! LOL

12:31 pm

smithchick

What's wrong with melon-sized boobs and a big butt? Hmm?

12:31 pm

EvaNadine

im really no good at those action games where things can sneak up behind you -- i get SO addicted, but then i get all stressed and frustrated...
kinda defies the point of playing...hehe

12:31 pm

DarleenMB

bunny ... you talkin' to me? Tomb Raider

12:31 pm

EvaNadine

bunny -- its my icon for today -- lara croft from Tomb Raider

12:32 pm

DarleenMB

smithchick... um. nothing if you can make all your own clothes? Not that MY backside is small, just you know, commenting???

12:32 pm

smithchick

dl88 has been lurking making us think it is safe to share our secrets. Shame on you, dl88!!

12:32 pm

DarleenMB

evanadine... I'm so addicted to Tomb Raider... when I play I find myself physically leaning across the desk to try and see around the corners, LOL. Man is that sad or what??

12:33 pm

smithchick

Well, what you do is grow your waist so that it is in proportion. Duh...

12:33 pm

EvaNadine

hah, im the same way!!

the only action game i ever really got into was Gauntlet -- i was a wizardess + the more power i got, the bigger my boobs got...haha...
i liked that game cause you could have up to 4 people playing at once, which was fun.

12:34 pm

bunnyvicious

smith, didn't know there was a man among us, oops! I haven't played Croft, but I got a new Lord of the Rings I like alot, and Final Fantasy or Fantasy Star. DOn't get to play much and there are so many!

12:34 pm

dl88

the conversation has been very entertaing and people are wondering why I am laughing at my computer. I am leaving now that I am done and FYI, I am making my wife and kids a VD dinner on sat and have a msaage scheduled for her on Sunday afternoon

12:34 pm

DarleenMB

LOL. I only played Gauntlet on those machines? And not for very long. Hubby was addicted big time. he and a friend would hit the bar just to play it.

12:34 pm

smithchick

Okay, dl88. I love you! What a good hubby. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

12:35 pm

EvaNadine

ahh, my friends had gauntlet for, i think game cube

12:35 pm

How sweet dl88! Bye!

12:35 pm

musicmom

Hi all. I'm just popping in for about 20 minutes. I cannot wait until tomorrow. I have the entire day free. I am going to play play play!! Okay well, except for cleaning up the house and doing the laundry.

12:35 pm

DarleenMB

Hubby really likes Oni but I can't quite get into it. I got half way through American McGee's Alice (VERY strange game) and have a stack waiting to be played. I'm just stuck on TR.

12:36 pm

Schroeder

Bye dl88!!! What a sweetie :)

12:37 pm

Deutsch

Hi musicmom, I'm finishing the last load of laundry even as we speak.

12:37 pm

smithchick

Hi musicmom and bye dl88.
I still haven't figured out my missing au5/14. Any clues?

12:37 pm

musicmom

Ours is piled up like crazy. This past week has been nuts!

12:37 pm

bunnyvicious

I accidentally saved over one of his games that had 104 logged hours of pure leveling up with my 2 hour game, oops!

12:37 pm

Haz1558

It's to do with listening

12:38 pm

Uneaixoise

it's not video, it's au***

12:38 pm

musicmom

Sorry Smith, don't have that one yet. I literally just sat down here.

12:38 pm

smithchick

Never mind. Just figured it out. Now I'm down to one d5. Have no idea what it is. Monkey-typing to commence.

12:38 pm

bunnyvicious

au 5/14 - ends like the st 6/24, has to do with sound

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

actually thought about getting a gaming system for my home just so i could play gauntlet...then i remembered that i would never get anything else done....EVER....
hehe

12:41 pm

smithchick

What am I missing? da5/12, da5/14 x2, do5/12, do5/16 and dy5/16

12:41 pm

musicmom

It's funny. We have a PS2 - ostensibly for the kids. But, my husband and I play it more than they do. I don't like strategy games or role playing though. I love racing games, word games and sports sims. I also love DDR but we don't have it.

12:42 pm

bunnyvicious

Music, are there some good word games for the PS2?

12:42 pm

Haz1558

There's another do5/12

12:43 pm

musicmom

Bunny I 'll have to check that out. Although, since I found Babble, I hardly have time for any other game<G> I have got to get faster at solving these grids.

12:43 pm

EvaNadine

i think thats part of why i like gauntlet -- there are different levels in different worlds, so you can approach it just as a one-time kinda game...
but then there is this over-arching plot, so you can play it that way too...

and if you play it with different characters, they have different powers which totally changes how you play...

12:43 pm

smithchick

My girls got DDR for Christmas last year. I've not played it. We got a PS2 last year (hubby wanted to get it as a "family" gift- and if I just happened to want to get him a game to play on it, these are the three he wants- oh and a joystick). He bought me scrabble or something for it, but I never wanted to wait in line.

12:44 pm

smithchick

Thanks, haz. I'll search it out.

12:45 pm

musicmom

Smth that is the beauty of my day. Last week not withstanding, sometimes I can play while everyone else is at work and school<G>

12:45 pm

smithchick

Got it! Yay! Finished!!!!

12:45 pm

Deutsch

Yea! Smithchick!

12:46 pm

smithchick

I'll have to try that, musicmom. If I can wrench myself away from babble in a timely manner.

12:46 pm

musicmom

way to go Smith!

12:47 pm

smithchick

Ty, ty very much...

12:47 pm

musicmom

Hey smith --- the best thing is the classic looks on their faces when they get home and you are playing .... and they have to wait for you to finish your level to get a snack, look at their project etc. etc. Really turns the tables, heheh

12:49 pm

bunnyvicious

I miss the original nintendo, I loved LoLo, Yoshi Cookie, Dr. Mario.... so many puzzle games.

12:49 pm

smithchick

LOL, musicmom. Next time hubby is home to pick up the kids, that's what I'm gonna do. Poetic justice.

12:49 pm

musicmom

Absolutely!

12:51 pm

cybernan

Finally got back, but judging by all the chat, no one needs any clues, so I'll be on my way until the flip. :)

12:54 pm

musicmom

Speaking of picking up the kids, it is about that time. I hope to be back later this evening. Have a great day,evening, morning, whatever everyone!

12:55 pm

Does anyone need any clues? I've got to have my USA Today crossword puzzle fix soon.

final load is finally done and folded and put away. Dare I babble some more, or get cleaned up and go to the store for tonight's dinner?

12:56 pm

Deutsch, pizza- order in. su5/14. Rhymes with a type of architecture starting with t.

Smith, LOL. That's usually Thursday, but what the hey?

Well, you don't want to get into a rut after all.

hurshy

hey - anyone who's finished and needs more boggle-like fun should try playing letter linker. it is in a way easier than babble because it doesn't have many words people have never heard of. BUT there's no brandyjack to help you out, and when you can't get a word it's MORE frustrating than in babble because you realize it probably IS a word you know, so you can't say to yourself "oh well, it's probably something wacky like 'fuvid'".

6:43 pm

mrpresident

I am FINISHED!! Thanks for help!

Thanks great, pbr -- it is sooo much fun watching them develop into little people with true personalities of their own, isn't it?

I am lucky so far that Kristianna has not gotten into that stage with videos yet -- now, when it comes to online flash animation, that is a different story altogether ;D

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

This is how I relax, pbr -- Seb is sleeping in my lap as I type -- he will be wanting food in about an hour or so, which means I am not going anywhere :)

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

hopefully, he won't have the same gas issues tonight -- that was why he was up so late last night -- he needed to get it out of his system and then I had to hold him over my heart to lull him to sleep because he was so wound up

ch1212

You're welcome! Just returning the favor, for the many, many, many....many, many times I've received some assistance. In fact, my icon is a conglomeration of my favorite 'characters' names from Babble. Couldn't get everyone who usually helps with clues, but there are several.

11:27 pm

11:31 pm

ch1212

I played earlier today and hurshy (who is one of those mentioned) actually copied and enlarged the photo so she could pick out everyone's names. Greywoulf is there, brandyjack (of course - what would we do without him!) and a bunch of others. Now I'm off to bed -- too sleepy to wait for the flip tonight. Night!

11:32 pm

GreyWoulf

Thank you for the honor, ch1212 --- sleep well :)

11:33 pm

kristinc

g'nite...sleep well

11:35 pm

11:35 pm

Evening woulf and whoever is lurking. You realise you are spoiling that kid rotten before I even meet him?

11:37 pm
