My mom's favorite, too. :-) See, Mom, this grid likes you better already

12:30 am

cybernan

1/2 hour and only 40 words -- ugh!

12:31 am

stidmama

i'm slowing down, but Tom is playing sudoku, so I might as well be here -- then tomorrow I can read one of those old-fashioned things made out of dried wood pulp...

12:31 am

rebekb

came by after the flip, have been busy last few days

12:33 am

rebekb

that last puzzle looked pretty tough!

12:33 am

stidmama

just as well -- the last couple grids have been nasty.

12:36 am

The Student

I'm at 14!

Ha, i'm getting better at this, but oh so slowly.

12:37 am

stidmama

good evening (or is it morning for you) TheStudent!

12:37 am

cybernan

the stu -- this is one of the toughest I've ever seen

12:37 am

The Student

It's the afternoon here.

I've got things to do, but I need to give this a shake.

12:38 am

rebekb

oh I think I'm too tired for this -- think I'll try to go to bed early for a change --night all!

12:39 am

12:45 am

chic

A 6/36
Lickety's list is up... not into overtaxing the tired old brain at this time of night...;-)

12:46 am

stidmama

ah! Lickety, of course! I thought maybe you were just really, really, good and not using a list... *feeling very small indeed because of course you are really really good, just using your resources* :-)

12:47 am

cybernan

seems to me your brain is doing just fine, chic ---- I'm for bed -- can't see anything at the moment! :) a demain.

12:48 am

stidmama

good night nan!

12:48 am

chic

stidmama

good night chic!

12:49 am

knutmeg

g'night cybernan, chic!

12:50 am

stidmama

well quillan -- it's a short list today (only 74 words), and the puzzle has more than 23 hours left... so there's time. Use your resources: check out the Friends of Babble pages especially Angelsong's page and Babblers Anon and Lickety's Clues; read the info on this site; and ask away!

12:51 am

quillan

okay, thanks for the advice

12:56 am

stidmama

knutmeg -- how you doing? i'm about done for the evening.

12:58 am

knutmeg

48 words and still going.

12:59 am

knutmeg

I've got about an hour before the baby will likely wake up again for more food. will keep the monkey going until then

1:01 am

ruthy

nice small grid today thats me done before i go to work . bye everyone

1:01 am

stidmama

oh man -- I remember those days! then when the baby finally wanted to eat, I got so sleepy... once I actually fell asleep with one of them in my lap! Good thing Tom woke me...

1:01 am

stidmama

YAY ruthy! have a lovely day

1:02 am

ruthy

same to u stidmama

1:02 am

knutmeg

g'night Ruthy!
Yeah, its been that way the last few days. Today my husband let me nap before he went to bed, so I should be good until her next feeding, then to bed for both of us. Maybe I'll finish the puzzle? Not likely, but hey...

1:03 am

ruthy

night knutmeg

1:03 am

stidmama

well, we can try! I just switched from sitting to kneeling, so my back gets to change position... :-)

but I don't have a problem! LOL

1:05 am

stidmama

ooh! forgot the arthritic knee.

maybe I do have a problem! well... back to sitting!

1:06 am

knutmeg

Heh, whoops! Thankfully not having problems with comfort, except Im' roasting and both my kitties are leaning against me, so not helping. Yay AC in April? Odd for IL

1:07 am

stidmama

seems there's been a lot of unseasonable weather all over. Ours is about normal, but lots of places in the US and elsewhere have really been getting hammered.

1:09 am

stidmama

20 words... having trouble with the 6s mostly, and the u's

1:15 am

knutmeg

baby up already? silly kid. still monkeying... got a few of the 6s... any in particular tripping you up?

1:16 am

stidmama

actually trying this one without a list, so I am not sure...

I suspect d, n and u

1:16 am

stidmama

but if the baby needs you...

1:18 am

knutmeg

all I need is one hand, so i good

di + something that changes the color of litmus paper

1:18 am

stidmama

1:21 am

oggy

morning all not awake yet.

1:21 am

knutmeg

1:22 am

stidmama

morning, oggy! it's not as bad as it could be here... but very late... not sure I'll finish tonight.

1:22 am

stidmama

in 5/20: in + a stock average commonly used to predict economy

1:24 am

knutmeg

Thanks, Stid!! :-)

1:25 am

stidmama

1:25 am

quillan

oh yeah 30 words!.. still a noob :P

1:25 am

knutmeg

good...asleep at the breast silly girl

1:26 am

stidmama

pretty good, quillan! remember that sometimes it helps to stop for a little while and then come back...

1:27 am

stidmama

oh, I loved that -- they're so soft and warm and cuddly... and then they get a little bigger and do headstands...

1:28 am

knutmeg

she's so cute too... distracting at times... found both the ni6's!

1:28 am

stidmama

woo hoo! I got the battery one -- is there another?

1:29 am

grigs

phew, done.

1:30 am

knutmeg

1:30 am

1:30 am

knutmeg

1:31 am

1:31 am

sprite

Morning dear gang :)

1:31 am

stidmama

YAY grigs!

hi Sprite!

1:31 am

knutmeg

Morning sprite!

1:32 am

KevinE

This looks pretty easy. 9 vowels. 74 words. I'm now starting off focusing on the vowels, instead of my usual, straight, rigid/analytical approach.

1:33 am

grigs

more w's and y's in the words than i was expecting.. it looks kind of like a 1990's era baby name book in here!

1:33 am

stidmama

well, i think i'm done for... I'm at 57 words and haven't grabbed the list yet (trying to do like hurshy...) and it's really late here.

good night knutmeg, kiss the baby for me (don't wake her), and don't stay up too late. Mamas need their sleep, too!

1:34 am

knutmeg

un6/24?

1:34 am

stidmama

(((all))) good night

1:34 am

knutmeg

g'night stid 68 words, I'll be done soon :-) then sleep. baby kissed :-)

1:34 am

grigs

un 6/24 - un+ (means to eat)
too easy if I give you the first 2 letters of the 4-letter word

1:35 am

quillan

nyt stidmama

1:35 am

knutmeg

thanks Grigs!!

1:36 am

grigs

to clarify, teh 4-letter word is to do with eating, the un/6 means having to do with water.

1:36 am

grigs

np, knut. how's typing around teh baby?

1:37 am

grigs

OK, getting badgered here. 'night, all.

1:38 am

sprite

Un6/36 is relaxing.

1:39 am

1:42 am

quillan

knutmeg

1:48 am

zneil

1:49 am

sprite

Pro players get a stats panel that says how many words. And there are a lot of help pages nowadays, see the last 4 links on the Friends of Babble list on the right :)
Welcome and enjoy the game.

1:49 am

Krys10

isn't winsy a kind of cloth?

1:50 am

zneil

Congrats, good job.

1:51 am

Krys10

1:52 am

3:16 am

MelRinaLVN

good early morn everyone........still kinda new, but I know where to look - thank you everyone for being kind, but....

3:16 am

MelRinaLVN

I have a question, around what time frame does it normally take some of you to finish these puzzles?

3:17 am

Haz1558

It's impossible to say as the puzzles vary so much in length and some players are much faster than others. Just work at your own pace.

3:17 am

saffire

takes me all day!!!

3:21 am

MelRinaLVN

I am at work so going off and on comp fro about 4 hours and only have 33 words.....ugh!!!!

3:22 am

saffire

we get good clues when haz is on!!

3:22 am

Haz1558

I know it can be frustrating, but stick at it because unfamiliar words will become familiar through time. Don't worry about the amount of time it takes unless you begin not to enjoy yourself. It took me a long time to finish my first grid!

3:23 am

Haz1558

Thank you saffire! (No pressure.....)

3:25 am

saffire

i sit waiting patiently 4 your clues and i have managed to finish 3 puzzles now with your good clues!

3:25 am

Haz1558

Goodness, I am surprised - but glad to help!

3:27 am

saffire

but like you say, ihave got better. some of the words get more familiar. still need the list and clues tho!!

3:28 am

Haz1558

I'm a firm believer in the list and I use morewords.com when I run out of inspiration. I can't be doing with monkey-typing, and I find that if you go through lists of words, some of them stick in your head for future reference.

3:28 am

FMitch

Morning all,
Just popping in to find out if this grid is better than yesterday's? Please say yes....!

3:28 am

MelRinaLVN

thanx for the support guys.......good luck and and of course clues r welcome!!! :)

3:29 am

Haz1558

YES

3:29 am

saffire

true. and i try to remember what some of them mean. and sometimes it sinks in!

3:30 am

FMitch

Thanks Haz, :)

3:30 am

Haz1558

Yesterday's was horrible, wasn't it?

3:31 am

saffire

yuk! did not come anywhere near finishing that one!

3:31 am

FMitch

It was one of the hardest there has been for quite a while but I did finally get there.

3:32 am

MelRinaLVN

I got no where near close to finishing that one!! Way too hard for me.........

3:32 am

Haz1558

I finished, but had no great enjoyment in doing it. I like grids where you can get words built up.

3:33 am

saffire

got high hopes for finishing todays tho!

3:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, today's should be conquerable.

3:34 am

FMitch

yea, the fun went out of it around the 1/2 way mark.

Well, lets see what todays is really like, will be lurking as usual "dives in and starts the search"

3:51 am

FMitch

woohoo, just found the alt sp of one of our fav babble words i4/8

3:52 am

Haz1558

A happy day for you!

3:55 am

FMitch

LOL

4:11 am

Haz1558

I've finished.

4:12 am

saffire

well done to you!! that was quick!!

4:13 am

FMitch

Well done Haz, good going!!!

4:14 am

Haz1558

I have a few things on today, so I needed to get it done quickly. And it's a nice grid, and I used the list!

4:21 am

Haz1558

I'll need to head off now - saffire, may I offer any clues before I go?

4:21 am

FMitch

HAve a good day Haz.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Okay - happy hunting everybody!

4:39 am

kls

anyone have any clues for the au's for a new convert? i still dont have the hang of this!

4:41 am

rosalind230

Hi I havn't got there yet

4:43 am

FMitch

au5 = au + the highest scoring tile on this grid + the op of out. au6 is pl.

4:43 am

Kukana

I just got the aus by looking at the count - the first is au 5/22, which means five letters have to come to 11 points. A and U just make 3, so there's one high-scoring letter that has to come in the word, and looking at the grid it has to come next... then I monkey-typed and got it. The 6 is the plural.

4:44 am

FMitch

Kukana - you are really a true babbler now then!!!

4:46 am

Kukana

you mean I'm babbling?! ;-)

4:47 am

kls

thanks!

4:48 am

FMitch

ROFL, No!!! thats just such a great explanation!

4:49 am

movieman

And a warm Babbler's welcome to y'all!!!!!

Anyone wanna help me with the r's?

4:52 am

FMitch

Hi Movieman,
when you buy bacon it is usually w/o the ri**, just spell it ry and then pl for the 5.

4:53 am

movieman

THanx, FMitch....

4:53 am

FMitch

y/w

4:55 am

rosalind230

Hi need a clue for the un6/24 please

4:56 am

Kukana

looks like it should be the opposite of sitting down to dinner

4:59 am

rosalind230

Thanks kukana I was looking from the wrong un got it
need another one di4/6 please

5:00 am

Kukana

took me ages to find that too, it's from the higher D, that confused me. An ordinary word, I hate to give a clue or you'd kick yourself!

5:02 am

FMitch

omg - you are so right, couldn't see that one for looking, thanks.

5:06 am

rosalind230

Thanks again just found it

5:08 am

rosalind230

Me again what about aw5/18

5:09 am

FMitch

a + w/48

5:09 am

cliffopa

wow! only 74 words today. of course they could be a difficult 74. how is this one compared to the past 2 days?

5:10 am

FMitch

Its much better than the last few grids

5:11 am

cliffopa

thank goodness.

5:12 am

FMitch

I know, thats what I thought. We were due a break but I think we will get hit with a really big grid before too long as we haven't had one for a while now.

5:12 am

rosalind230

thanks fmitch

5:13 am

rosalind230

Hooray I have finished bye

5:22 am

FMitch

Im done too!!!

5:25 am

cliffopa

yay fmitch and rosalind!

5:26 am

FMitch

Thank you! will be in the background on and off if clues needed.

5:27 am

cliffopa

i'm hoping i can get quite a few on my own, but i may be screaming for help soon. i'm not finding this to be an 'easy' one.

5:31 am

FMitch

well, good hunting and enjoy, must go and make some phone calls.

5:31 am

cliffopa

bye :)

5:45 am

steptoe

hi all

5:45 am

cliffopa

morning :)

5:46 am

Jacula

Morning all. I've just finished. Took about 45 mins. Not a bad grid but too quickly over.

5:47 am

cliffopa

jac, 45 min? argh!

5:53 am

Atalante

love the u6/24

5:54 am

cliffopa

did you see the definition atlante? strange. i guess that is why i never heard of it before.

5:54 am

Atalante

um no ... but I was drawing one yesterday, if its got the same meaning as I know it from

5:55 am

Atalante

yes. meaning 1 on the definition page.

5:57 am

Atalante

now I have one as a pic :)

6:01 am

cliffopa

it looks like a beautiful pic.
can you provide any help on the ni's?

6:01 am

Atalante

not yet sorry :( I've only just started - that U was one of my first words

6:02 am

cliffopa

how about you jac? still there?

6:03 am

Atalante

actually, yes I can. just found 2. NI5/14 - type of battery. NI6/24 - plural

6:04 am

Jacula

I'm back. Had to deal with a 'phone call.

6:04 am

cliffopa

got those now, thanks!

6:07 am

cliffopa

the other ni is a vitamin. sometimes added to bread.

6:07 am

Jacula

Cliffopa - if you need ni6/21 it's a component of the vitamin B complex found in meat, wheat germ, dairy products, and yeast and is used to treat and prevent pellagra. Often found in babies' formula milk.

6:08 am

Jacula

Ah, too late!

6:09 am

cliffopa

maybe i am able to sense your thoughts :) i wish! it will take years before i can do one of these in 45 minutes.

6:10 am

Eva

Good morning! Have 6 left to find and my whiny(not in the grid) cat is saying it's about time I finished. Here's what I'm missing and any help will be much appreciated, so I can get out of bed, wipe up the cat vomit and feed him. I know, too much sharing(-:

aw5,18
di5,20
in5,20
in4,4
iw4,8
us5,12

6:11 am

cliffopa

the iw sounds like elmer fudd would pronounce a beautiful type of flower that grows from a bulb.

6:11 am

Eva

foudn the aw5!

6:11 am

Jacula

Eva - If I delay feeding my cats because I'm busy Babbling one of them is always sick! It's revenge, I reckon.

6:12 am

lshult

aw5/8= a + WA4/8

6:12 am

Eva

Thanks cliff!

6:12 am

Eva

Yes Jac!

6:12 am

cliffopa

the us ends in the 1st three letters of something my cats will never allow my house to be: ***t & clean

6:13 am

Jacula

di5/20 - a Muslim chamber or law court, or a collection of Persian poems. di + 3-letter word meaning pale or pallid.

6:13 am

lshult

di5/20= sounds like a bed covering (if you had a speach impediment)

6:14 am

Jacula

us5 is a type of lichen.

6:15 am

Jacula

in5/20 is more normalled spelled 'en'. You might have a mortgage of this type or be blessed with good looks or talent.

6:16 am

Jacula

*normally

6:16 am

cliffopa

in 4 is a south american freshwater dolphin.

6:17 am

steptoe

how much words

6:17 am

Jacula

in4 - a common Babble word. A South American hairy-snouted dolphin.

Sounds like the answer you might give if someone asked where you were. 'I'm in**!'

6:18 am

cliffopa

in 5/20 is just like what you would open to get some fresh air, only missing the first letter

6:20 am

Jacula

7:20 am

cliffopa

you are right haz. we even have a saying in New England 'if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute' because the weather changes so frequently.

7:21 am

Haz1558

It's pretty changeable here as well. We don't have quite as dramatic weather as in the states.

7:22 am

shorty

well now we have a severe weather warning it just flashed on my weather icon

7:22 am

Haz1558

Does anyone have a hint for the 'un' 6/24?

7:30 am

Sign

7:31 am

Haz1558

un6/24 - add a word that means to eat out

7:31 am

Merk

That relaxing after work I have as a 6/36

7:31 am

musicmom

Good Morning Babbleland!

7:32 am

Merk

To eat out? My brain is going to be taxed today, I can see that already.

7:32 am

Haz1558

Hello musicmom.

7:33 am

musicmom

Morning Haz. I take it I missed a humdinger grid yesterday? This one doesn't look too bad.

7:33 am

Haz1558

It's di4/5

7:33 am

faeriekae

Good Morning Babblers. I'm home.

7:33 am

Haz1558

musicmom - yesterday's grid was a stinker! This one is much more civilised.

7:33 am

musicmom

{{{{{Faerie}}}}}}}}}I've been missing you!!!!!

7:34 am

Haz1558

Faerie - I've missed you! Welcome back.

7:34 am

Merk

I wish they would let me unwax the car. Now I have to eat out with an 'un'

7:34 am

Merk

Is it a prefix then? un

7:34 am

musicmom

Oh good! I only had about 2 hours to play yesterday and when I read part of the log I decided to skip it.

7:34 am

Haz1558

Merk - I have learnt to suspend disbelief as far as Babble goes.

7:34 am

faeriekae

((Music)) I've been in Kentucky for a week visiting with my Mom and brothers and sisters and friends who know way too much about me. *grin*

7:35 am

musicmom

Did you have a good trip? Where in KY?

7:35 am

faeriekae

Good Morning Haz - I've missed all of you. It felt like I left part of my family behind.

7:35 am

Haz1558

Merk - in this case the un isn't a prefix - the word has a different meaning to how it looks.

7:36 am

Atalante

*points to my pic* is an un****

7:36 am

faeriekae

It was fantastic. I always have a good trip to Ky. My Mom is such a little sweetie. She is 88 and still has a sparkle in her eye.

7:36 am

Haz1558

Well, faerie, it's good to have you back with us.

7:37 am

faeriekae

Oh I almost forgot. I got while in Ky.

7:38 am

faeriekae

I got SHOT while in KY

7:38 am

Haz1558

Got what - WHAT?

7:38 am

musicmom

Very cool Faerie. While you were gone, I got all the baseboards and chair rails back up, ordered living room furniture and am going to Cincy tomorrow to get a hutch and antique organ.

7:38 am

Haz1558

Glory be, whathappened, faerie?

7:38 am

musicmom

WHAT??????????

7:39 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!!

7:39 am

Merk

The 'un' is going on the back burner while I eat breakfast. My mind is blank.

7:39 am

faeriekae

Paintball. I've never played. Bought my great nephew a gun and all the stuff to go with it and the accidentaly shot me in the butt twice and once in the face. Got me in the chin. Looks terrible but he learned a very good lesson. I brought it all home with me.

7:39 am

musicmom

Oh Merk - you are going to d4 on your breakfast. Glad you aren't un doing it.

7:40 am

Haz1558

Morning evanadine - we're waiting to find out how faerie was shot....

7:40 am

musicmom

LOL Faerie --- those little pellets leave a mark - don't they?

7:40 am

musicmom

Morning EVAN!

7:40 am

EvaNadine

gonna run + go get breakfast...back in a bit!

7:41 am

Haz1558

Well, it's a relief you weren't shot with bullets!

7:41 am

faeriekae

I told him if you shoot a faerie you loose the gun....He lost the gun for at least a year. He is 11yrs old.

7:42 am

musicmom

Good reasoning Faerie. heheheheee. 11 year olds what joy! Sarah turns 12 a week from today. Unbelievable.

7:42 am

faeriekae

I had to go to the dentist. He almost shot my teeth out. I have a big bruise and scabbie chin now. Looks worse than it is. :) But he doesn't have to know that.

7:43 am

musicmom

UGH! Ouch!!! I don't go outside when they are playing paintball. Sarah doesn't play but she has friends who do.

7:44 am

Haz1558

So you can guilt trip him for a while yet.

7:44 am

faeriekae

Music-Lucas just turned 11 so he is wild. And thinks he knows pretty much everything :)

7:44 am

ch1212

glad you're all right, faeriekae. Here in Idaho there are free gun safety lessons for all kids who want them starting at age 10. The Dept of Fish and Game teaches them. The youth don't have to actually have a gun in order to take the course.

7:44 am

Haz1558

And you thought giving him paint-ball was a good idea......

7:45 am

musicmom

OF COURSE he knows everything. <sarcasm>

7:45 am

faeriekae

Haz - you bet I can. I left a photo of my injury with his Mom so she can pull it out everytime he brings up the fact that Aunt Kae took his gun awayl.

7:46 am

faeriekae

Haz-I don't have children. I don't know what I was thinking. He older brother has one and he really wanted to be able to play with him. Too bad.

7:47 am

faeriekae

brb - need more coffee. Got home this morning at 1:30am.

7:48 am

Haz1558

It's difficult to buy things for children. You probably fondly imagined all the fun and laughter they would have together, not that he would turn it on you. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

7:49 am

musicmom

That is very true Haz. We have bought the girls things through the years that seemed like a great idea at the time. Then it was nothing but regret.

7:50 am

faeriekae

I'm back. Haz I spent $300.00 for gun the paintballs. 02 tank and last but not least face protection.

7:51 am

faeriekae

I learned a very good lesson myself. LOL

Eva

Thanks everyone for all the good help erarlier. The cat moved from vomiting and whining to going to wake my husband up to complain that I hadn't fed him, so I had to go. Then since I was up I went for a walk in the woods before it rains. Then meditation. Then came back and found your wonderful clues for those last 3 words, et voila! Fini!

7:52 am

faeriekae

No. Remember, I have it all now. LOL

7:59 am

faeriekae

Scatty-feels good to finish one doesn't it? I'm going to jump in and see what I can do.

8:00 am

Eva

Shorty-be careful. You guys in the midwest have some dangerous weather. Here in the northeast we get rugged stuff, but very little that is truly dangerous. We did have what they called a "microburst" last summer. A very localized tornado, but it was nothing compared to the real grown up ones. Took down a bunch of trees and put the power out for a couple of days, but no home damage or injuries.

8:01 am

hurshy

good (substitute your time of day here) everyone! here is my bumbershoot

9:54 am

Angela

could be worse Hursh...could be like a Barney song or something :)

9:55 am

hurshy

ah... no kids for me, so i happily do not know barney songs, except for the infamous "i love you, you love me..."

9:55 am

knutmeg

Okay, that's a weird combo, I'm listening to Bach (music geek, I like all sorts of things, this morning is classical) and suddenly la cucaracha jumps into my head. Whee! and stuff...

9:56 am

Angela

no kids here either...but somehow that stuff creeps into the mind...scary!

9:56 am

lola100

yeah, loly, i have low tech knowledge too... i have no idea if it's like broadband. it seems to be better if i don't try to do anything else on the computer... :)

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry - that's martin , medeski and wood...if i were off today i'd be there : (

11:00 am

You might have to synchronize your computers reception with the transmission. Or something like that. You might try going to what microsoft calls your control panel.

11:00 am

hurshy

oh i think it's getting better... it may just depend on how many students are logged into the server - and now they are all logging off to go to chapel

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

weegee

ni 5/14, vitamin b, add word for caustic liquid in batteries and change last letter d to n (next is plural)

5:28 pm

talk24hr

un 5/20 ... un+ sometimes u're at the end of your **** minus the last letter when u're going crazy.... ummm let me think, i still suck at giving clues lol

5:29 pm

weegee

un 5/20... add 3 letters from word for color of snow minus h & e

5:29 pm

ylleria

ni 5/14 is not really one word but two abbreviations.
more of a 2,3 /14

5:29 pm

kls

yay! finally.. got that one! thanks... just the two wa's now...

5:31 pm

weegee

wa 4/8 preceeding wa 5/18 right before other wa 5/18 for part of body where belt goes... Loudon Wa**wright III (make plural for 5/18)

5:31 pm

harpjane

5:32 pm

weegee

weegee

5:33 pm

kls

5:34 pm

kls

5:34 pm

talk24hr

thanx weegee lol yeah but i'm still an idiot and stuck on these ni's ... i've been up since 2am, it's almost 7pm here now, i'm probably just not getting it yet lol

Oooh, I applied to U of Mich, but decided not to go because my brain just freezes when I'm anywhere below 50 degs

6:38 pm

stidmama

yes, that's how I often feel with sudoku. I play once in a while, but only when I am stuck with no word puzzles.

gotta check on laundry... BRB1

6:38 pm

zas

Oooh I loooove Sudoku. If you need help with strategy, I'm much better at that than babble

6:40 pm

talk24hr

zas, is there a way on there for clues like here? prob not right? i see the chat though . maybe i'll give it a try later

6:40 pm

faeriekae

Zas-It is no fun. I hate it here. I may actually move down to Kentucky. My family is there. I'm from there and it is a beautiful state. Never know. I can't take much more cold weather.

6:40 pm

talk24hr

faerie ... at least u didn't get the white stuff they're getting in tenn. they're having major issues right now with hail thats golfball size and tornados, but yeah, likewise, i hate the s*** word

6:41 pm

Jera

Hey all, I'm back... how is everyone doing this evening?

6:42 pm

zas

Talk24. with Sudoku the first thing I do is look for the number that appears most often. Then I go to each 3x3 square, figure out which row and column that number can't possibly go into and "pencil in" that number in each of the possible squares. To "pencil in" a number, select it while pressing the "shift" key.

6:42 pm

magzel

thanks for pointing out lickety's babble clues. that was very helpful.dw

6:42 pm

faeriekae

talk - your are right about that. The hail will distroy everything in its path as well as a tornado will. I talk to my family today and they had a few storm come through but not like in Tenneessee.

6:42 pm

Jera

We are having thunderstorms... on the way home, it looked like it was snowing when the winds were blowing the petals of the blossoms off the trees!

6:44 pm

faeriekae

Later Stid

6:46 pm

zas

yeah, that's what I meant except I didn't say it very well. I do that with every number before I do any guessing. Make sure to press the "save as checkpoint" very very often. Oh yeah, they do have a little strategy place on the site. I remember reading it.

6:47 pm

bookwyrmish

9:25 pm

GreyWoulf

I have always been starting the sudoku when I don't have the time or energy to properly focus -- I am wondering if a higher power isn't trying to tell me that one online obsession is enough :D

9:25 pm

mab

I'm not giving up on sudoku, EB. I shall master it. It is a nice focused thing to do, blotting out extraneous thoughts. And, of course, it's good for the brain.

I have learned from hurshy that guessing is not necessary, so I never do that. I can see immediately that my problem is the inability to reason it out.

9:27 pm

EasternBlue

mab - I don't usually 'guess', but this one had me stumped...I had a gut feeling that I was going the right way, but couldn't quite figure it out....

kudos to you for giving it another try...I like sudokus...!!

Nope.

11:14 pm

Freckle

stidmama

74 words today Freckle...

11:15 pm

11:15 pm

Freckle

11:15 pm

leighprefect

first do 5/20?

11:16 pm

stidmama

11:16 pm

fig

do 5/20 is d+ what you say when you hurt yourself.

11:16 pm

11:18 pm

leighprefect

11:18 pm

hurkle

*grumbles* "indian" sure is a word

11:18 pm

stidmama

*whistle* so, Dorothy, where will you be travelling this time?

11:19 pm

gromit

Stid - my 12 year old is pretty reserved. I say he's an old soul. Any teenage angst yet?

11:19 pm

stidmama

hurkle, I thought so too the other day, but I guess it's still supposed to be a capitalized adjective... and no caps allowed!

11:20 pm

stidmama

oh gromit... we hit teenage angst when our 13 was 11... thought we were going crazy! LOL at least now we know what we're dealing with and can usually distract or redirect most of it.

11:20 pm

stidmama

okay, I need to go get changed for tomorrow's grid... BRB

11:21 pm

hurkle

thx stid
.. .first time here

11:21 pm

EasternBlue

gromit - glad you like 'em!! : )

hurkle - welcome to Babble!!!!!!!!

11:22 pm

11:22 pm

hurkle

thanks... i love these kind of games... wish i was better at them... after a while i just have to guess at the words. I don't know enough of the obscure ones

11:23 pm

Freckle

an5/12 ne one?

11:23 pm

stidmama

okay, all changed -- thought about something pretty and elegant, then my feet started to hurt just thinking about it! LOL so I went with my old favorite... birkenstocks! comfort wins over fashion for me!

11:23 pm

gromit

leigh - not a great typist either!! that was redundant! (LOL)

11:23 pm

stidmama

an 5/12: the an 4 + third letter

11:24 pm

leighprefect

no i meant my thanks happened to be a double post. =) I do it a lot too with my slowness (dial-up still!) so no worries

11:25 pm

gromit

stid - LOL! You changed (literally). I thought you meant you were changing your icon.

11:25 pm

stidmama

hurkle, these sorts of games get easier with time -- similar words start appearing regularly, you learn the kinds of prefixes and suffixes to look for... (-s, -ed and -ing often show up) and you ask for help... I ask for LOTS of help daily!

11:25 pm

fig

da type of fish? still struggling. anything less obscure? i'm no fisherperson.

11:25 pm

hurkle

Do they show us a list when the game is over so we can smack ourselves in the forehead?

11:26 pm

gromit

Ahhhh! Those birkies look awfully comfy.

11:27 pm

fig

i think da 5/20?

11:28 pm

stidmama

hurkle, yes it is possible to view the previous day's list, and to find which of the words you had! to help with today's list, there are two Babblers who have put up pages with info. Lickety's clues is a good one to start with. It give the first two letters of each word in alphabetical order, and the number of letters and total points in the word... check out his page via the "Friends of Babble" links.

11:28 pm

stidmama

in 4/4: in + third vowel + first vowel...

11:28 pm

fig

got it.. found the clue ... like what you unclog your sink with but no second consonant, and add in and "I"

11:28 pm

EasternBlue

comfy...just made me think of my old pink fuzzy slippers....aaaaahhhhhhh!!

11:28 pm

hurkle

I guess he runs some sort of program against the dictionary to generate it in the first place...

11:28 pm

gromit

fig - ok, try man's name Da* + 3rd vowel +4th vowel

11:29 pm

leighprefect

11:30 pm

Freckle

11:31 pm

EasternBlue

fig - you know you've been playing babble awhile when the 'weird' words are the first ones you find!!!! : )

11:31 pm

11:31 pm

fig

seeking one more "U"..
i have don't eat, don't twist, don't be smart...but now i'm stuck.

11:31 pm

stidmama
