12:05 am

knutmeg

12:05 am

stidmama

12:05 am

wassup

knut, that's the life of a working mom

12:05 am

bendamalina

77....hmmm...i think Dr_God HAS been listening

12:05 am

stidmama

she was due around now, wasn't she?

12:06 am

stidmama

ahhh,, knuts!

12:06 am

wassup

she's probably waiting for a phone call. i am too, but keeping busy

12:06 am

stidmama

did anyone else notice that, before you enter any words, the "last word entered" line says Let the games begin!

12:06 am

jaianniah

o man, i slept thru the flip!!!

12:06 am

stidmama

well, I will keep my fingers crossed that all goes well.

12:07 am

wassup

she's actually not due until june 1st, but she has severe preeclampsia and has been on bedrest for 6 weeks. her blood pressure was way up, 190 ish so she was admitted a few hours ago. they'll induce if they cant get it down

12:07 am

bendamalina

hah, i didn't notice that stid...funny

12:07 am

knutmeg

You and me, mum, we're a pair tonight. I was totally zoned out, listening to see if LIv is waking up or not

12:07 am

stidmama

jaianniah! I missed you today! feeling betterer?

12:08 am

stidmama

ooh. well, at least nowadays there are options and they should both be fine either way.

12:08 am

helenkeller

so i finally got the first flip & couldn't get on the site to enjoy it

12:08 am

wassup

yeah, and the baby

12:08 am

jaianniah

bout the same, stiddie, it's going to take some time- but it is so good to be home!

12:08 am

wassup

sorry. and the baby is at 36 weeks now

12:08 am

LeslieAnn

i was having trouble too, helen

12:09 am

stidmama

i am so glad you're home! do you have someone at home to help you (i hope so)

12:09 am

helenkeller

wass - just was reading back - hope she does ok

12:09 am

stidmama

36 weeks isn't too bad. early, but not scarily so.

12:09 am

jaianniah

my hubbie until sunday- then I am on my own

12:09 am

helenkeller

leslie!!!! - did you get 'initialization error' messages?

12:10 am

stidmama

well, we'll have to get you better then! *sending healing vibes via e-space*

12:10 am

wassup

no, her 1st was 31 weeks. that was scary. she was only 3 lbs. had to stay in the nicu for 25 days. not fun

12:10 am

kimberblue

i was induced at 36 weeks with my second child for the same thing

12:10 am

jaianniah

t y ty ty!!!!

12:10 am

LeslieAnn

i kept getting nothing on the screen and it just said "error"

12:10 am

wassup

how did that go kimber?

12:11 am

kimberblue

everything was perfect 7.4 lbs even

12:11 am

stidmama

do you take comfrey or any of the other "mending" herbs -- or would they interfere with the meds you are on?

12:11 am

helenkeller

well, i'm glad we're here now :)

12:11 am

stidmama

Matthew was in nicu for 14 days, but had the opposite problem -- born at 10 months and WAY too big for me!

12:11 am

kimberblue

being induced is horrible though

12:11 am

kimberblue

just in that the contractions hit you fast and furious

12:12 am

harpjane

sometimes the small ones are harder

12:12 am

knutmeg

cool, both me and my baby's names (the shortened versions) can be found in todays grid

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

10 months?? why so long?

12:12 am

stidmama

I hated it -- they did that for me with Matthew but didn't tell me... that was really mean of them.

12:12 am

harpjane

puzzles, I mean. I've never been in labor!

12:12 am

LeslieAnn

lol jane

12:12 am

stidmama

My midwife didn't believe me when I told her I was probably pregnant in February, and assumed I was due in December...

12:13 am

wassup

my son was born 9lbs 3 oz and he was at 38 weeks. the drs said i would have had a 10 pounder if he went 2 more weeks

12:13 am

wassup

he's still huge. looks 5, but he's 4

12:14 am

kimberblue

i had a 9.12 pounder at 40 weeks - one day

12:14 am

stidmama

Matthew was 9.5 pounds. Grant (and I am absolutely certain when he was conceived LOL) was born at exactly 9 months and weighed 8.5

12:14 am

kimberblue

if they can't get her blood pressure down- it really is best for the baby to be born

12:14 am

wassup

yikes. i love big babies though

12:14 am

stidmama

oooh kimberblue. that is too much!

12:14 am

kimberblue

the hard part is they will not let you out of bed. period. due to your blood pressure

12:15 am

wassup

she just went through this last june. her 1st is only 10 months old. let's just say..."oops".

12:15 am

stidmama

I am glad I never had to deal with that.

12:15 am

kimberblue

does she have support?

12:15 am

wassup

me too

12:15 am

kimberblue

oh my!

12:16 am

stidmama

that's going to be like twins only without the advantage of only one birthday party to plan!

12:16 am

wassup

yeah, her whole family is here. my mom, my aunt, her mother in law and I are switching off days with the baby (Molly).

12:16 am

wassup

mine are 13 months apart and they're still mistaken for twins all the time

12:17 am

LeslieAnn

my sister and i were 22 months apart and have always been mistaken for twins (i'm older, she's taller)

12:17 am

kimberblue

how was her first birth? hopefully being through it once will help-

12:17 am

stidmama

my boys were 26 months apart and mistaken for twins from the time Grant was one until a couple years ago! Matthew didn't grow very fast the first 8 years.

12:17 am

stidmama

Grant is really following the tall side of the family's growth curve... Matthew follows mine.

12:17 am

kimberblue

i love births! I am a doula though so i have to love them!

12:18 am

wassup

it was fast. only took about 3 hours from the time her water broke. she was hard to get into labor though. it took a few days of pitocin

12:18 am

wassup

i love it too. some people get all freaked out when they hear birth stories. it's a total miracle! i love hearing other people's stories and sharing my own

12:18 am

LeslieAnn

that's neat kimber. i don't have any plans for kids soon but i think i would like to use one if that ever comes to be

12:18 am

stidmama

I wish I'd had a doula... couldn't afford one at the time. We made do.

12:18 am

kimberblue

i'm glad she had a dr. that was patient instead of going straight for a c-section

12:19 am

wassup

leslie, i didn't know we were the same age!

12:19 am

kimberblue

i would have been your doula in return for clues :)

12:19 am

stidmama

i wonder if Lickety's here but afraid to step in because we're all talking about babies and stuff?

12:20 am

LeslieAnn

lol might hold you to that

12:20 am

wassup

she was actually to the point of wanting a c-section, but she woke up the morning they were going to do it and took a shower to prepare for surgery. her water broke in the shower and the contractions came on FAST

12:20 am

LeslieAnn

wassup, you sound pretty established though! husband, kids... i'm still working on the getting married part

12:21 am

stidmama

i am fortunately (i hope) too old now to have kids. I had really bad post-partum depression -- on top of all my other problems. NOT a good situation. I missed so much of their first few years.

12:21 am

wassup

stid, all i have to do is say placenta to my husband and he'll stop eating. :) I love the POWER!

12:21 am

kimberblue

i hope she can avoid it this time- the recovery with a 10 month and a new born would not be super fun!

12:21 am

wassup

leslie, i got married at 19. i got a head start... i'm the weirdo

12:21 am

kimberblue

i'm only chatting so much becasue I can't find any words- lol!

12:22 am

wassup

i found one

12:22 am

kimberblue

i hvae 8!

12:22 am

mab

I'll change the subject! Dr. G, the icons in the chat log are too too small. I know you have to juggle a zillion elements to make everything fit, but the icons!!!! Such a huge babble element!

12:22 am

mab

Look at me. I'm a mere color.

12:22 am

stidmama

don't rush it, LeslieAnn -- there are advantages both ways (young mother, older mother), but take your time and find the right person. My Tom is my very best friend and so we have weathered some tough times.

12:23 am

LeslieAnn

i am still getting used to the new format, i think that's why the word finding is so slow (yeah... THAT'S it...)

12:23 am

stidmama

mab, you're silly. but very pretty, nonetheless.

12:23 am

wassup

i just love that i can see the chat log without scrolling

12:24 am

LeslieAnn

oh, i actually am getting married (in october) but we both kind of shutter at the thought of having kids now. maybe in 5 years or so, but not soon

12:24 am

stidmama

I feel the same, wassup.

12:25 am

stidmama

good for you LeslieAnn! yes, get married, enjoy that part of your life, then have kids. but think before you buy lots of expensive furniture and "toys" that kids are tough on them... ;-)

12:25 am

wassup

leslie, i didn't plan it. we got married with the idea that we'd wait a few years. 5 months later, i proved the pill wrong... :) It all worked out great and I wouldn't change a thing now. But...enjoy being a couple first, a baby is a HUGE marriage tester...

12:25 am

mab

Don't close the shudders, Leslie Ann === How exciting! Congratulations! ;D

12:25 am

knutmeg

I actually felt the same way, LeslieAnn, when I got married. Oddly, I ended up moving the time table up, but I still think 5 years without kids sounds good for a marriage

12:25 am

helenkeller

congrats leslie!!!

12:26 am

helenkeller

college

12:26 am

helenkeller

noooooooooooooooo

12:26 am

helenkeller

not again - someone just shoot me

12:26 am

wassup

thanks! :)

12:26 am

LeslieAnn

haha thanks for the great clue, helen!

12:26 am

stidmama

I think, LeslieAnn, that you will both know when the time is right and don't think you have to hold yourselves to any particular time table (yours or anyone else's)

12:26 am

harpjane

bed time. Tonight is our last night on the "temporary" setup we started using over a year ago. The new mattress set arrives tomorrow. (Of course, it might not actually fit up the stairs....)

12:26 am

harpjane

To be continued....

12:26 am

mab

Poor Helen.

12:26 am

stidmama

12:26 am

helenkeller

12:27 am

ARB

12:27 am

mab

Thank you helen.

12:27 am

wassup

ha helen. that's great!

12:27 am

mab

Night harpjane.

12:27 am

stidmama

*guffaw* helen -- thanks for the cl**!

12:27 am

helenkeller

12:27 am

helenkeller

yeah - got that one already :(

12:28 am

mab

What would Enable know about institutions of higher learning.

12:28 am

stidmama

oops! helen I almost did it, too!

12:29 am

WelaV1927

whats the word count?

12:29 am

LeslieAnn

lol, speaking of other people's timetables, i kid you not, when we told my dad we were engaged he was very excited and happy etc. and in the SAME conversation mentioned grandkids *facepalm*

12:29 am

helenkeller

welll stid ---- i'm waiting ......

12:29 am

mab

It's so easy to do. Maybe by the time we're all in the Babbler Home together we will have learned.

12:29 am

bendamalina

77 words tonight

12:29 am

helenkeller

LOL - the babbler home - lol

12:29 am

stidmama

waiting?? helen did I miss something? it's getting awfully late for me....

12:30 am

helenkeller

waiting -- for you to return the favor - you said you 'almost' did it

12:30 am

stidmama

oh, wait around, it'll happen sooner or later! :-)

12:30 am

stidmama

davi

12:30 am

stidmama

blast! see?

12:31 am

LeslieAnn

i tried that, it doesn't work, stid ;)

12:31 am

helenkeller

but that's not even a word

12:31 am

stidmama

no, but the anagram did!

12:31 am

bendamalina

i have 27 words so far...

12:32 am

cybernan

Evening all --seeing as how it's such a short one, I will try it on the beta site. :)

12:32 am

stidmama

I have only 16, but was busy talking about babies...

12:32 am

bendamalina

who's racing me?

12:32 am

bendamalina

evening cybernan

12:32 am

stidmama

hi nan!

12:32 am

helenkeller

i am

12:32 am

helenkeller

12:32 am

stidmama

I'll race you bendamalina, but I have to go to sleep soon!

12:32 am

bendamalina

yeah, we'll see how much longer i stay awake, too

12:33 am

mab

What about 'gell'? As in "Gells, do sit up straight'

12:33 am

LeslieAnn

is anyone having trouble loading the word list? every time i refresh/view someone's profile etc. when i come back my list is gone

12:34 am

mab

I'm afraid you;re incorrigible, helen.

12:34 am

helenkeller

it is slow to load up

12:35 am

stidmama

that's cause all us babbleholics are trying to see what the grid is like today! so far, I don't think it's very friendly....

12:35 am

helenkeller

you're right mab - i should not chat - or only chat and no grid -one or the other - i think multitasking is just a fancy way of saying doing two things at once, neither well

12:35 am

stidmama

jaianniah? how are you doing so far?

12:35 am

bendamalina

one of these days i hope coelacanth shows up in babble

12:36 am

LeslieAnn

that's the best fish on animal crossing :)

12:36 am

jaianniah

got 35 words and am going to beddie-bye. Love to you!

12:36 am

bendamalina

night jaianniah

12:36 am

mab

I feel the same way about the much touted multi-tasking, nevertheless, I would be sad if you were to stop chatting or babbling.

12:36 am

stidmama

way to go jaianniah! see you tomorrow, I hope. {{gentle hug}}

12:37 am

mab

Good night jaianniah.

12:37 am

helenkeller

12:37 am

stidmama

12:37 am

wassup

k, so i just got an update. my sister's staying overnight for observation, but her bp went down. she'll be discharged tomorrow evening if all goes well. no baby tonight!

12:38 am

helenkeller

ok, that's it - i'm going to bed - too tired, was trying for 1 more to make it an even 40, but this grid is tough

12:38 am

stidmama

*sigh of relief* so she can sleep, and you can babble, and the baby gets at least another day.

12:38 am

kimberblue

i'm glad to here that - she'll be on bed rest though from here on out I bet!

12:38 am

stidmama

12:42 am

kimberblue

12:42 am

wassup

tacoma is a nightmare. every time i've driven through it i've been caught in horrible traffic

12:42 am

stidmama

12:42 am

kimberblue

Tacoma is not fun to drive through, though the museum section is really nice these days!

12:43 am

LeslieAnn

stid, i would never believe you had bad grammar ;)

12:43 am

kimberblue

oops- blushing

12:43 am

wassup

12:44 am

stidmama

I notice nobody is saying i'm not boring... hmph!

12:44 am

stidmama

;-)

12:44 am

wassup

kansas is the flat state. someone told me a joke once about kansas. you can stand on the ground and see a mile, stand on a tuna can and you can see 10 miles

12:44 am

12:45 am

wassup

i love illinois. i have a friend in springfield. it's so pretty in the fall

12:45 am

12:46 am

Just my weird sense of humour kimber.

12:46 am

evilolive

12:51 am

kimberblue

it's not an easy word- it has to do with the discharge of blood and tissue after birth

12:51 am

LeslieAnn

hmm, i'm asking, but unless you say "working at murphy's" i probably won't be able to relate :)

12:51 am

evilolive

she as in my wife, not sure what sex the baby is

12:51 am

wassup

awesome olive, congrats

12:52 am

evilolive

12:52 am

kimberblue

i ate at murphy's this week :)

12:53 am

wassup

just sleep as much as you can right now. :)

12:53 am

bendamalina

12:53 am

LeslieAnn

man, what i wouldn't give for some irish nachos right about now...

12:53 am

kimberblue

I work for Crisis Nursery- a short term shelter for children birth-five whose parents are enduring a crisis

12:53 am

wassup

irish nachos? intriguing...what are they

12:53 am

wassup

that's awesome kimber

12:54 am

LeslieAnn

oh neat, i know crisis nursery. i worked at the di and we did a lot of stories over there, and for fundraisers etc.

12:54 am

kimberblue

cool- do you know Kit and Mary?

12:54 am

LeslieAnn

irish nachos are like everything you would put on nachos, but instead it's on waffle fries. mmmmmm...

12:54 am

mab

very exciting olive! When is the little olive due?

12:54 am

wassup

dang...sounds good

12:55 am

LeslieAnn

yes ma'am i do. they might even remember me :)

12:55 am

stidmama

man -- am stuck at 24 words, and can't seem to focus, so good night, all!

12:55 am

kimberblue

12:55 am

bendamalina

12:56 am

kimberblue

Illini Media just built a new building on Green st. it is huge and beautiful!

12:56 am

LeslieAnn

sure, hopefully they will know me from leslie, if not, leslie & angie will probably trigger their memory. how do you know them?

12:56 am

mab

good night stidmama.

12:56 am

cybernan

monkeyed the lo!

12:56 am

evilolive

night stid

12:56 am

cybernan

did someone post a d7?

12:57 am

LeslieAnn

i know, i've heard about it but haven't seen it yet. no more walking all the way down green street to work...

12:57 am

kimberblue

do you still need the lo/6 evilolvine

12:57 am

cybernan

those ee's are in the wrong spot!!

12:57 am

evilolive

yes kimber, tried monkeying a few, but no luck yet

12:58 am

cybernan

that new tab didn't work -- have no idea what I did wrong.

12:58 am

bendamalina

are you running windows, cybernan?

cybernan

oops -- sorry -- in the wrong box!

1:00 am

evilolive

hehe thanks cybernan

1:00 am

cybernan

Just another bad desing on this site!

1:00 am

kimberblue

lo + the two consonants that start the other birth word(the one I kept saying) + third vowel + first vowel

1:00 am

jeffer

no prob for me, cyber!!

1:02 am

LeslieAnn

all right, i'm going to have to get to bed. lovely chatting with everyone. hopefully can talk to kimber later about C-U and wasssssup about our mid-20s :)

1:02 am

evilolive

thanks kimber. mustn't have been listening when they talked about that!

1:02 am

bendamalina

I think that enough people accidentally type words in the chat box that it is qualifies as a design flaw

1:02 am

bendamalina

night leslieann

1:03 am

kimberblue

how long ago were you here Leslie Ann?

1:03 am

LeslieAnn

um, let's think, '99 to '03

LeslieAnn

dalmatian5

LeslieAnn - I have to thank you for helping me with the icons and use of google. I have finally figured out how to do it and am thrilled!

1:06 am

LeslieAnn

oh i went to cowboy monkey a few times, i think it popped up just as i was leaving.

1:06 am

LeslieAnn

licketySplitAUS

Nice small one today - I bet you are all finished by now ?

1:10 am

licketySplitAUS

If anyone needs them clues are up. Got delayed today with work. Gotta run. bye for now.

1:15 am

cybernan

tiny but tough, lickety

1:19 am

cybernan

stuck at 36 -- think I'll go find an icon in keeping with today's theme (teacups)

1:20 am

trishtrash

evil

1:20 am

trishtrash

oh folks, I am so sorry ... I was about to say good morning when I spotted a word and pounced!!

1:21 am

bendamalina

i think everyone is asleep anyways

1:21 am

bendamalina

but no problem trish, this is a very common occurance

1:22 am

trishtrash

ty, dear. I shall pay more attention to what I'm doing now. Which is trying to convince myself that there are *words* in this grid!

1:23 am

bendamalina

heh. i've been stuck at 44 for a while now

1:23 am

trishtrash

vila

1:23 am

trishtrash

omg !

1:23 am

trishtrash

this thing is lethal! (well if you're a half-asleep idiot)

1:23 am

trishtrash

*gets cursor OUT of the chatterbox*

1:24 am

bendamalina

at least it wasn't actually a word

1:24 am

Boysaway

Dr God said we'd get used to it Trish

1:24 am

bendamalina

try making a habit of clicking anywhere on the screen outside of the box when you're done saying something

1:24 am

trishtrash

lol, still this isn't the place to monkey-type

1:25 am

trishtrash

Boys, I'm sure we will ... meanwhile apologies everyone.

1:27 am

Boysaway

no problem, I need any help I can get with this e*** grid!

1:28 am

cybernan

There's nothing like a cup of Earl Grey ..... Mmmm *refresh*

1:29 am

cybernan

if there were a submit button as before, we wouldn't have the problem of words accidentally being typed into the log.

1:30 am

Boysaway

hurshy did her best to persuade Dr G of that but he disagreed

1:32 am

trishtrash

I wonder if he'd consider it a worthwhile use of his time to arrange a <bleep> anytime a word from the day's grid is used? Probably too time consuming for too little reason. And then you'd have words like 'them' and 'caulliflower' that people use every day and the conversation would get confusing ;)

1:33 am

Boysaway

I suppose we'll get used to it in time

1:34 am

cybernan

I think that contrary to what he says in his profile (aim to please) the good doc does precisely what he likes and doesn't really care what we think --- I certainly haven't seen any evidence of anything being done about any of our suggestions.

1:34 am

trishtrash

Cybernan ... to be fair, I think we've only had a couple of days to get used to the 'new'. It makes sense for Dr_G to let the dust settle before deciding if/what changes to make.

1:36 am

cybernan

Don't get me wrong -- there are some nice new features on this site, but also some of unnecessary ones and some downright annoying ones.

1:37 am

cybernan

Anyway, my poor old eyes can only stand these bright colours and small type for so long, and the limit has been reached. See you tomorrow :)

1:37 am

trishtrash

I agree, Cybernan, this is a mixed bag o' change, for sure.

1:37 am

bendamalina

night cybernan.

1:38 am

trishtrash

ta ta for now, Cybernan. I'm going to disappear for a bit too, this grid is obviously going to take more prodding than I first thought ... talk to all later.

1:47 am

bendamalina

ok, i'm stuck at 46 and going to bed; night

1:47 am

mightyquin

new to this

2:35 am

Babbler

hehe, maybe if I wait, someone will monkey it into the chatterbox ; )

no worries, mightquin : )

2:36 am

FMitch

It does seem to be a problem with the beta site, not that I'm using it, still on the old one.

2:37 am

Marc Freeman

need a clue for il7 and 8 Thanks

2:39 am

Boysaway

Babbler, add a consonant to a word that means the opposite of alkali

2:39 am

Boysaway

Marc, they end in the same letters as the co8 and co9

2:40 am

Babbler

thanks, Boysaway : )

2:41 am

Marc Freeman

I don't have the co's

2:41 am

Babbler

2:42 am

Boysaway

okay, then word for unwell followed by last vowel, then a 3 letter word that means going somewhere by a certain route

2:43 am

Boysaway

Babbler, add a variant spelling of the e4/7

Haz1558

Good morning all. A short grid today - is it tricky?

2:59 am

Babbler

very tricky, Haz : /

any clues for the last lo6 please? thanks : )

3:01 am

FMitch

Morning Haz, - it's a reall little tinker today but there are some good words to be extracted with patience.

3:01 am

Kateq

good morning all

3:02 am

Babbler

morning, Kateq : )

3:02 am

Marc Freeman

Have to go to bed. Dead tired but a I would like one more clue at gl7/48

3:03 am

Haz1558

I've a feeling the list and all other resources will be used! I'm going to scroll backfor clues. And good morning Kateq.

3:03 am

Babbler

Marc, try gl plus an exotic flower, minus the r

3:03 am

Babbler

I hit the list very early, Haz : /

3:05 am

Marc Freeman

Babbler, perfect clue to end the nite. Only 30 to go.

3:05 am

FMitch

I got to about 45/50 words before hitting the list and ow am down to last 2 words. Didn't have time to finish yesterday's so got an early start on todays

3:06 am

Babbler

my pleasure, Marc. : ) sleep well

3:06 am

Babbler

FMitch, have you got the last lo6, by any chance? (it's my last word)

3:17 am

FMitch

3:18 am

Babbler

congrats, FMitch! aren't the fireworks lovely? : D

3:19 am

Babbler

aww, I looked at the Rankings page, and now my fireworks have gone. :'(

3:20 am

Haz1558

Well done FMItch !

3:27 am

FMitch

Couldn't say Babbler as am not using the beta site.

Thanks Haz :)

3:29 am

Haz1558

This is one of those grids where you want to rearrange the tiles a little.

3:31 am

FMitch

.. not just a little Haz

3:39 am

Jera

Good morning, all!

3:39 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jera!

3:39 am

Jera

Wow, the new site automatically flips to the new puzzle of the day... yet another cool feature!

3:40 am

Babbler

morning, Jera : )

3:44 am

corpsvalue

what is the new sit'es URL, please?

3:44 am

Jera

That s is in a very inconvenient spot..

3:45 am

Babbler

http://beta.playbabble.com/

3:45 am

Jera

http://beta.playbabble.com/

3:45 am

Jera

Take out spaces as usual

3:45 am

corpsvalue

thanks!

3:46 am

corpsvalue

i kept putting www in front of the URL

3:46 am

Jera

Yeah, me too.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Taking a break and will return.

3:48 am

Jera

Later, Haz!

4:18 am

ExWren

My first thought was, thank goodness for a small grid, but after scrolling back to read the chat, it seems as if it's not so clever?

4:18 am

Haz1558

Good morning ex-Wren - it's not an easy one today!

4:19 am

ExWren

I JUST managed to finish yesterday, well past my bedtime

4:20 am

Haz1558

Did you enjoythe fireworks?

4:20 am

ExWren

I see you are in 'the other' site this morning

4:21 am

ExWren

I'm old fashioned Haz, I'm working on the 'old' site, you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!

4:21 am

Jera

Greetings, Ex-Wren! Nasty little grid today...

4:22 am

Haz1558

Yes, I decided to embrace the change. The chat log box being above the chat means you can keep an eye on who has beaten you to giving a cl4/6 and the scroll features are good on the word list.

4:23 am

Jera

How can you tell if someone is in the old site?

4:24 am

ExWren

Morning Jera, still trying to decide whether to play, I expect I will though.
My screen isn't wide enough to accommodate the new site, I find it annoying to keep moving from side to side

4:24 am

Jera

Yes, that would indeed be annoying

4:24 am

Haz1558

The only way is by looking at 'Who's online' and if they are not there, but are appearing in the chat log, then they are in the old site.

4:24 am

Babbler

ex-wren, try cntrl - (minus) to make the screen smaller. (although that means you might be peering at the screen...)

4:25 am

Jera

Ahhh... I haven't plaued with all the bells & whistles yet

4:25 am

ExWren

Your icon doen't show Jera, just a plain white box, with a small red cross in the corner

4:25 am

Jera

Yes, if you are on the old site, icons that are updated at the new site will not appear

4:25 am

Jera

One of the reasons I crossed over!

4:26 am

Babbler

if you want your icons to show on the 'normal' and the beta sites, you have to update both. : /

4:27 am

Jera

I can't believe lu4/8 is valid...

4:29 am

Haz1558

It does kind of go against the grain, doesn't it?

4:30 am

Haz1558

But the three letters of the singular version appear quite a lot in different words today

4:31 am

Jera

I'm slowly & painfully finding that out Haz...

4:36 am

Jera

I have 4 like that... how many have you found, Haz?

4:37 am

Haz1558

So far 6 but am still working through.

4:37 am

Jera

I have e's & i's so far (2 of each)... can you point me to the other set? I can't make al work

4:38 am

Haz1558

co8/65 and co9/84

4:38 am

Jera

That's it! Thanks.. nice ones

4:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - if I find any more I'll sing out.

4:39 am

Jera

That's my 8's & 9's at least...

4:39 am

Jera

Nice for all thes vowels to be useful... & my latin is coming in handy today!

4:41 am

Haz1558

You can't knock a bit of latin!

4:42 am

Jera

Ooh, I remembered the al5/14 from another grid! I love it whn I do that!

4:44 am

Haz1558

I know what you mean. It gives a great feeling of satisfaction to spot them.

4:45 am

Jera

It means I'm actually like, you know, LEARNING! Always a thrill for me. My neurologist highly approves of this game for me!

4:45 am

Haz1558

Wouldn't it be fun if babble could be on prescription?

4:47 am

Haz1558

Then, when people compained, you could just say 'Following doctor's orders!'

4:49 am

Babbler

Jera, I'm sure my ability to concentrate has improved dramatically since I started playing Babble and Sudoku. Oh, and then there's that there learning too... : )

4:54 am

Haz1558

Well, I've finished with due assistance from Lickety's list and morewords. I'd better do some housework now even if it is not as helpful to the brain cells! Bye all and see you later.

4:54 am

Babbler

laters, Haz : )

4:55 am

Jera

Or if the house didn't get clean... but the doctor TOLD me to play Babble, LOL

4:55 am

Jera

Bye, Haz..

4:56 am

Jera

Sorry, I wandered off to do some Cinco de May research...

4:57 am

Jera

Well, I've made it to halfway, think I'll get a bit more sleep before the household needs to awaken... later!

5:01 am

Babbler

laters, Jera : )

amandacath

Hi all! This one looks icky...

5:12 am

lola100

good morning all : )

5:17 am

Jacula

Good morning! Another lovely, sunny day. Well, I've got to 45 words and now my Latin's failing me.

5:19 am

Jacula

Incidentally, we'll have to give 'hints', not cl4/6's today to avoid typing a word in the log.;)

5:19 am

amandacath

Hi Jac - you're doing better than me. I'm at 28 and have already started making up words...

5:19 am

lola100

lol! Hi Jacs : )

5:20 am

Jacula

Amanda - making up words is often the best way to find them! It worked for me with 'aithchbone' yesterday!

5:21 am

Jacula

*'aitchbone'.

5:23 am

lola100

Jacs, do you not call a cut of beef aitchbone out here? It's a word I've known since I was a child. 'Course, it still took me awhile to find it, lol!

5:23 am

amandacath

How true, how true - that was one where I shrieked out loud "you've got to be kidding"

5:23 am

Jacula

Possibly, Lola, but I've only heard of a 'T-bone'.

5:24 am

Jacula

'Brrr' made me shriek a bit, too, Amanda.

5:25 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey Everyone, What a lovely night for some word searching

5:25 am

lola100

Hey lickety! : )

5:25 am

licketySplitAUS

77 - lovely number!

5:25 am

Jacula

Lola - How's Anj these days? Does he still play? Never see him on the log now.

5:25 am

amandacath

that as well - although we've had it before, so it wasn't quite such a shock this time round. I still don't think it should be allowed, though.

5:26 am

Jacula

Hi, Lickety. That reminds me, I've got a word thing to mail you for your 'odd spot'.

5:26 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey lola! Nice to meet - sorry if we chatted before - My mind is like the kitchen sink, Full with Dishes!

5:26 am

licketySplitAUS

Cool Jacula - MrPresident manages those though - happy to pass it on - but best to use the email link.

5:27 am

licketySplitAUS

In fact she took one off today cause someone invalidated it

5:27 am

Jacula

Will do, Lickety.

5:27 am

Jacula

Invalidated it? What happened?

5:27 am

lola100

Jacs, he's fine. He's doing some serious job hunting at the moment, so not so much time for babble : (

5:27 am

licketySplitAUS

apparently there is more than one word with all vowels in right order. Fair Enough!

5:27 am

Jacula

Lola - Send him our best wishes.

5:28 am

Jacula

Lickety - Ah!

5:28 am

licketySplitAUS

I've got some stats!

5:28 am

licketySplitAUS

You know AtoZ list? Helpful for looking up words?

Babbler--Good Margaritas--Never had a bad one, just some are much better than others! And it's an excuse for a really good party! I've heard rumors there's a real historic significance, but is that really important when downing Margaritas? Nah, I didn't think so!

margaritas for everyone!

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i want "nilch" combination of nil and zilch...

10:48 am

cybernan

don't have either the co 8 or the el6

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

nan: think of the 3 letter in the grid that means by way of...all of those words use it

10:49 am

Frances

cybernan
IUf you have the co9 drop the last letter

10:51 am

Haz1558

cybernan - do you have the lu4/8 - a strange plural word. The first three letters occur in several words today, including the co8 and 9,il7and 8, el 6 and 7.

10:51 am

Bugzy

OK - the il8 - double the tall letter, then add vi4/7 (used in science labs)

10:51 am

cybernan

thanks, haz -- got all the 7's and the 8's

10:52 am

cybernan

whew! --- that was a good run!

10:53 am

Haz1558

It's nice when you get a whole string of words from one section of letters.

10:54 am

I have C7 and i7... can someone tell me which are the other 7s please?

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

d7 and e7 are two

10:55 am

Haz1558

el7/44, gl7/48, lo7/36

10:55 am

sprite

I mean... with what letters do they start :)

10:55 am

cybernan

clue for gl 7?

10:56 am

Haz1558

gl7- a clue given previously was to add a tropical flower, minus a letter

10:56 am

cybernan

thanks again haz

10:56 am

Haz1558

Or alternatively, g plus Scottish lake, and identification.

10:57 am

cybernan

lo 7?

10:57 am

sprite

works for me! That's C7, i7 and G7. Which ones am I missing, please?

10:58 am

Haz1558

lo7/36 extends the lo6/24 - therefore beginning and ending with the same letter

10:58 am

sprite

Sorry... log is slow in refreshing, I missed your answers! Thanks very much :)

capone

lol, not really about babble , just saw something in your profile that peaked my interest

11:08 am

capone

and before FK chimes in, NO, its not that!

11:08 am

Minski

godthaab - if you can't tell the difference you are not on the new site. They are very different.

How do I get to the new site?

11:09 am

Minski

11:09 am

cybernan

the new site is beta.playbabble.com

11:09 am

faeriekae

Capone are you telling Spirit that I'm a SBB?

11:09 am

Frances

http://beta.playbabble.com

11:09 am

capone

no FK, she prob alreay figured that out

11:09 am

cybernan

the old site is www.playbabble.com -- one has a green background the other has a blue one.

11:10 am

capone

speaking of SBB's, TSM you still here?

11:10 am

faeriekae

Probably so Capone....It is so obivious. :) "brup"

morning, Jera!

11:15 am

capone

these new fields are confusing

11:15 am

cybernan

faeriekae -- not to worry -- we're all having the same problem. I find it helps to get in the habit of returning the curser to the add word box after every entry in the chat log --- hurshy asked Dr. G to return to the submit button for the chat log, but I think he refused. If that's the case we'll just have to put up with it, I guess.

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm capone....

11:18 am

capone

*whew*, time to buy my mom something at the last minute, next weekend

11:18 am

Jera

Nope, but next week is Teacher Appreciation so they are partying for that next Friday. I would've switched the two myself, but they stopped asking my opinion (I give it, LOL)...

11:19 am

faeriekae

Capone 7-11 has lots of great gifts.

11:19 am

stidmama

faeriekae! the very idea! He should at least take time out to go to an internet flower supplier!

11:19 am

capone

whats a 7-11?

11:19 am

faeriekae

or Starvin Marvins.

11:19 am

Jera

Mothers' Day kinda sucks for me since my mother died on April 27th (8 years ago, but still)...

11:20 am

Off to the shop before I fall off my chair laughing

11:20 am

Suggestion for a gift for the mom that has everything --- a manicure or pedicure --- always great!

11:20 am

stidmama

ty Haz, now I have 26 words! (really zooming along now)

11:20 am

Jera

I have never had a manicure or pedicure in my life... sounds lovely...

11:20 am

11:20 am

hydra

co6/24, anyone?

11:21 am

abe79

jera, pedicures are quite lovely. highly recommend, as sandal season is approaching

11:21 am

stidmama

sorry hydra, don't have that one yet

11:21 am

cybernan

thanks, haz -- that finishes the l's for me.

11:21 am

Jera

I have ugly, deformed feet... I don't think a regular place would welcome me...

11:21 am

Haz1558

These words are hard to give hints for! Co plus last vowel plus Mr Marvin's first name.

11:22 am

stidmama

my feet are shaped like a duck's -- short and WWWIIIDDDEEE

11:22 am

stidmama

(who is Mr. Marvin?)

11:22 am

cybernan

co 6 /24: western american term for river valley "Grand Co**** Dam"

11:22 am

inge

Hydra, think of that co**** dam in the US west

11:23 am

stidmama

now that clue I got! I've been there!

11:23 am

hydra

oh, of course! 'The big grand co.... dam!' I'd never have
got that. Thanks, Haz!

11:23 am

Frances

stidmama
The one who was born under a wandering star

11:23 am

Haz1558

'I was born under a wandering star' and that explains why I have such a deep voice, Mr Marvin

11:23 am

Jera

I thought that dam had 2 sets of double vowels...

11:24 am

tndaisy1960

There's a street in Shasta Lake with the GC name, btw

11:24 am

inge

dont be picky, the word sounds like that, thats what matters.

11:24 am

cybernan

got to break and rest my eyes for a bit -- wish Dr. G would use something other than white against that blue border!

11:24 am

stidmama

later, nan

11:25 am

Haz1558

Bye cybernan.

11:25 am

11:30 am

Since I am done I have been switching between the two grid layouts. Find it easier to find clues in the old one, but harder to locate words in the done list.

11:30 am

Mary

ty, tndaisy, got it

11:30 am

tndaisy1960

I stole that from someone else, not mine:)

11:30 am

11:41 am

Aloyisius

Hi Babblers! I am really in the dark; I see references to a "new site" (I've been away a bit) , so I checked out the Dev. Log, but I don't see a new site listed. Can anyone tell me what's happening? BTW, I just finished the grid and would be happy to provide clues... thanks!

11:41 am

stidmama

it looks like the links were broken between the various changes... so I uploaded my shadow to the old site.

11:42 am

stidmama

beta.playbabble.com

11:42 am

Aloyisius

ok, stid... do I need to preface it with a "www"?

11:43 am

stidmama

I don't think so, Aloyisius

11:43 am

faeriekae

CONGRATULATIONS ALOYISIUS!!!!!!

11:48 am

walnutchen

11:48 am

Aloyisius

11:50 am

stidmama

yes, it is possible to resize the font in firefox, but we aren't sure about other browsers...

11:50 am

Minski

Still not gettnig the CO6. What do you mean by sound bad? Is there a swear word in it?

11:50 am

walnutchen

well, I like how its all in one box.

11:50 am

stidmama

YAY walnutchen!

11:51 am

walnutchen

Aloyisius

What happens when you add someone to My Friends?

12:07 pm

stidmama

not much -- but when you get online you can click on that tab and instantly see who's online (unless they're still on the old site)

12:09 pm

sprite

So Dr_G included fireworks in the new site? Nice!

12:09 pm

Dr_God

I think it's time to make the switch and make the beta site live after lunch.

12:09 pm

COOL

12:10 pm

12:10 pm

Minski

Great!

12:10 pm

That would be your lunch, not mine, I guess :)
Nice site, Dr_G, looks good and works fast and smooth.

12:10 pm

faeriekae

ROCK n' ROLL Dr_G

12:10 pm

Dr_God

Yeah. It's 12:10pm where I am. ;)

12:10 pm

stidmama

Hi Sprite! guess you finished then?

12:11 pm

stidmama

so that means we go back to just playbabble and no beta?

12:11 pm

sprite

Nope, I read the log. I just started, actually, I had dinner and am ready to roll now :)

12:11 pm

Dr_God

Is cybernan here?

12:11 pm

Minski

Since noone seems to need any help and it's 1:10pm and I still haven't eaten lunch, I think I'll sign off now. Later all.

12:11 pm

stidmama

Later, Minski -- :-)

12:13 pm

stidmama

I think nan went out for a bit.

12:13 pm

Dr_God

Does anyone know how to contact cybernan? The email I have for her is bouncing.

12:13 pm

faeriekae

sould we all log off or what Dr_G

12:14 pm

stidmama

I don't know how, sorry -- though the my friends box says she's still online...

12:14 pm

ExWren

Just three to go and I am at a standstill.
cl6/30; lo4/5 and lo6/24 are the ones I need

12:14 pm

abe79

lo 4/5 a math term

12:15 pm

stidmama

hi ExWren! cl 6//30: think of o**** newton-john and change the o to a c

12:15 pm

sprite

Isn't that Lo latin for "in a place" ?

12:16 pm

stidmama

there are two lo c/24... they start the same. the first ends with a tall hump letter and two vowels, the second has upside down n, tall consonant and a vowel

12:16 pm

sprite

And the Lo6 starts with a scottish waterpool. Then add the ending of the NewtonJohn CL word.

12:17 pm

abe79

the newton-john hints are my favorite today

12:17 pm

harpjane

Dr God, I can't seem to get the whole chat log up, when I click on the icon I 12:00 a.m. through 5:57 a.m. only. not all of the clues.

12:18 pm

ExWren

thanks mama. the cl one worked!

12:18 pm

hurshy

12:18 pm

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

sprite

But there is this button View Entire Chatlog

12:21 pm

Dr_God

The whole chat log doesn't load? That's odd.

12:21 pm

faeriekae

no the entire chat isn't showing

12:21 pm

Dr_God

It can be a loooong page sometimes, but it still should load in its entirety.

12:21 pm

faeriekae

I also noticed tht

12:21 pm

Dr_God

What browser?

12:22 pm

I think I'll finish on the beta site, and check out these fireworks

12:46 pm

lol, Sprite; i just copied and pasted your 'warning' to my friend Mary in our im window! :-P i don't think she'll heed it, mind you.....she loves word games!

Dr. G - is there any way to view the word list in alphabetical order?

12:48 pm

hurshy

what's the point total today, please?

12:48 pm

MikeyInBerlin

well, Mary Ellen; you just enter as many words as you can see in the puzzle grid, typing them into the little box beneath the grid, where it says 'Add Word'.....the words have to be made up of letters sequentially adjoining each other, and you can't use the same letter twice.....there are help pages linked to on this page, additionally, and people are very helpful with clues/hints! :-)

12:49 pm

girlfriend2008

has anyone gotten the 9/84 yet?? I am typing random letters...and it certainly is not making any sense. at all.

12:49 pm

sprite

Av6: protein found in uncooked egg white that binds to and inactivates biotin.

12:49 pm

rycaut

there is a set of words today i, e, and c that are all related

12:49 pm

1242 points hurshy- Hi All playing from my sisters computer & just saw my first FIREWORKS!!!! I'm so pleasedwith myself! Have a lovely weekend all - i'm just about to hit the bottle!!!!!!

12:50 pm

hurshy

co9 - if you take co6 and make it an adjective meaning cooperative (like professors), then change the eg to uv, you will have co9. cut off last letter for co8.

12:51 pm

chic

congrats, Snowy!

12:52 pm

snowyowl

Ty chic- I've waited so long for fireworks. LOL Dr_God perhaps a round of applause as well?

12:52 pm

12:52 pm

Rocky

co6?

12:53 pm

hurshy

are you asking for a clue, rocky, or suggesting to me? :)

12:54 pm

Rocky

no, I'm asking for a clue because I am trying to understand the co9 clue without co6 and have been unsuccessful.

12:54 pm

hurshy

oh shoot, i meant co7, not co6, in that co9 clue!

12:54 pm

hydra

You don't need the co6 in order to get the co9. They're not connected.

12:54 pm

Rocky

ok

12:54 pm

chic

hursh, co6/30 add the ev/4/7; take out vowel and add first vowel

12:55 pm

hydra

and the co7's not related, either.

12:55 pm

hurshy

sprite, do you have another c6/30?

12:55 pm

hurshy

oh, nvm sprite. thanks chic! i'm done.

12:55 pm

1:02 pm

Oh, poor hurshy. I missed the incident but I feel for you. Remember Dylan said, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

1:02 pm

Oh-oh... hurshy, looks like I missed some of the fun ;) Don't think I ever heard you say something unkind, though we often have a lot of fun. All in the play, right?

1:03 pm

cindasu

hurshy i just read it and sometimes i like a clue and sometimes not i read the exchange last night and though you were just playing so it did't unpset me :)

1:04 pm

mary ellen

No I live in the US

1:04 pm

hurshy

well it was play for me, but seems like some didn't take it that way, that is why i wanted to explain.

1:04 pm

sprite

That can be the problem with chat logs, that we see the words but cannot hear the tone of voice, nor see the expression on the faces. Explanation is good then ;)

1:04 pm

hurshy

ty cindasu. it's just some people said they were bothered and i didn't know how many more might be as well.

1:05 pm

Spread the love around!!

lol @ inge! That's a nice image you make there.

1:06 pm

hetty

Dear distressed hurshy--I've just read you message as requested and want to say please go on being your playful bubbly self. As one whoe fireworks last night were due only to a literally last minute clue from stidmama, I hope babblers will continue to exercise their own discretion about the acceptability of a clue under whatever circumstances. And toughen up your skin, sweetheart. It's only a game and we all love you.

1:07 pm

harpjane

you're cool with me, hursh

1:08 pm

inge

Actually Hurshy I was surprised by this a.m.s comments, since it did not involve any of the critics. Just let it blow over like the trolls. No hard feelings in any case. I enjoy your enthusiasm.

1:08 pm

1:09 pm

dr god, one difference i noticed is that after i downloaded the firefox upgrade that you recommended, most of the color is gone. just yellow tiles and black print, that's it.

2:39 pm

Angela

Hello all!

2:39 pm

hurshy

doc - do you think you're going to be able to fix the firefox "view entire chatlog" problem?

2:40 pm

Angela

Dr. G - just changed my icon also.

2:40 pm

Dr_God

hurshy-
I lied before when I said the icon thing was first on my list. The Firefox chat log display bug is 1st on my list.

2:40 pm

hurshy

lol

2:40 pm

faeriekae

Icons are no problem on my end

2:41 pm

hurshy

and should i hit "stop script" or "continue" when i get the unresponsive script message?

2:41 pm

bex777

is there going to be a button for the chat log?? :)

2:41 pm

Dr_God

hurshy-
It doesn't seem to matter. Both paths end in disaster I think.

Yes. It's the first time I've cursed Firefox and not Explorer. :\

2:45 pm

That is really bizarre. Is there any way you can send me a screen shot?

2:45 pm

hurshy

Looks like Windows browsers like to tab to every single little thing instead of just field elements.

2:54 pm

Mac browsers don't do that. So I guess it's just another reason to get a Mac. :)

3:14 pm

chic

Haven't seen the X games? Mike aka as the Godfather is a champion motor biker. He did the first successful back flips back to back in the 2002 summer X games

3:15 pm

Judi

Lookin a little redundant there, Haz.

3:15 pm

Angela

Sorry - I'm completely uneducated when it comes to that stuff. Don't tell anyone but I actually like the lumberjack sports - and some baseball, but that's it.

3:16 pm

Haz1558

Did you see how the silence got longer all the time?

3:16 pm

sherb

is it me, or have the words in the Word List become much more compressed today? ...

3:16 pm

Angela

Haz - and who says you can't see silence, eh??

3:16 pm

hurshy

lol. haz, you are cute.

3:16 pm

tndaisy1960

sherb, it's not just you

3:16 pm

chic

Well, I know that you are into bikes.. Check out the summer X games in August. It'll blow your mind what they do on Bikes these days...

3:17 pm

Angela

Chic - I will do that for sure. Mostly my idea of extreme sport on my bike is watching out for NH potholes :)

3:18 pm

sherb

thanks daisy... so much change, I was beginning to doubt myself...

3:18 pm

chic

BTW, got IM yet?

3:18 pm

Angela

Not yet :)

3:19 pm

chic

only takes 5 min. :-P

3:19 pm

billmster

The new layout is elegant ,all info visible, the sliding word list is excellent

3:19 pm

Dr_God

The compressed word list is intentional, and is how it has always looked on Mac browsers. But I could never figure out why it was so spaced out on Windows browsers. I finally solved the problem as you can see. ;)

3:20 pm

Angela

Chic - Point taken :)

3:21 pm

Dr_God

Life without IM just ain't life.

3:21 pm

chic

OK back to the real world...later.....

3:21 pm

chic

there ya go, Dr G!

3:21 pm

Angela

Uh oh - Now I've got the Doc commenting on my lack of IM??? EEK!

3:21 pm

sherb

I applaud the quest for perfection... :)

3:22 pm

LOL!

3:22 pm

Angela

Talk to you soon Chic! :)

3:23 pm

3:25 pm

bex777

im determind to get my first ever fireworks tonight!

3:25 pm

Haz1558

Judi - do you have the co7/40? If so, use the first four letters, add the last vowel, and then latin 'by way of. That gives you the co8

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

you go, bex!

3:25 pm

helenkeller

hi everyone

3:26 pm

Angela

Hello HK

3:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi hk!

3:26 pm

Judi

Haz, I'm a dope. I actually have the Co9. No Co7 or Co8 though. Are they similar to the 9?

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok no clues requested yet - just a general question: is there more than one word using the prefix in?

3:27 pm

hurshy

cut off letter for 8, 7 is university

3:27 pm

Haz1558

The co8 just takes away the last letter of the 9. The co7 is a place of learning.

3:27 pm

hurshy

no temple

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks hursh! : )

3:28 pm

hurshy

you're welcome! :) :) :)

3:28 pm

Judi

Thanks Haz & Hurshy. Got em. Now I'm just stuck with the first Co6/30 and the Co6/24.

3:28 pm

hurshy

(see how i try to smile more for you temple? :) )

3:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes! i noticed !

3:28 pm

sherb

hi helen :)

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

3:29 pm

bex777

bye sha!!!

3:29 pm

Angela

mmmm...You sharing Hursh?? :)

3:29 pm

sherb

nite sha :)

3:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol! the funny thing is, people do tend to come up to me and tell me to smile - i was a miserable little kid!

3:31 pm

hurshy

i was a VERY shy kid. and scared of everything. had to have my one year old sister go down the slide before me when i was five so i would know it was safe. fell on my bicycle once and didn't ride again for four years. :)

3:31 pm

hurshy

NOW i'm sharing, angela :)

3:32 pm

Angela

Wow...I should say so! hehe

3:32 pm

helenkeller

lol hursh - hard for me to believe that about you - clearly the years of therapy have paid off well, lol

3:32 pm

Angela

I meant the drugs, but hey... hehe

3:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey hursh: did you notice my cinco de mayo icon? a cat with sombrero!

3:32 pm

hurshy

AH - i did not, with the smallness, but now i can see it :)

3:32 pm

hurshy

and it's only been a year and a half of therapy - he's very good!

3:33 pm

Angela

Bravo to therapy man then - he's doing a fine job on you!

3:33 pm

helenkeller

hurshy - no kidding? really?

3:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

icon shopping was a chore not fun with small icons : ( and to think i thought i would hate themes!

3:33 pm

hurshy

yes... but i had gotten over the shyness before, like in high school.

3:34 pm

Judi

Just a thought - would prefer larger icons and lose the blue background.

3:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am still painfully shy - it manifests differently in adults

3:34 pm

Angela

blue background???

3:34 pm

hurshy

and it is easier to be uninhibited online.

3:35 pm

tndaisy1960

true hurshy...if it weren't for online...I wouldnt have any friends

3:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

whoops judi - i don't care for white log background on white background

3:35 pm

hurshy

judi - it isn't the background that is why the icons are small - if they are bigger, it apparently makes the site run slower, so doc wanted them smaller. but he is going to make it so we can see them bigger in the profiles.

3:35 pm

Judi

Yes, Angela. Don't you see the blue wavey background behind the white puzzle page?

3:35 pm

hurshy

mine is a graffiti of swiss cheese, in case anyone wants to know :)

3:36 pm

licketySplitAUS

morning/evening babblers!

3:36 pm

Angela

Oh... I don't really see it much. I have to scroll back and forth to see the log and the puzzle. Maybe my settings are wrong??

3:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

: ( cannot see it well enough to make it out...lickety!

3:36 pm

Angela

Gotta run to the grocery store real quick - BBL hopefully

3:37 pm

Has anyone figured out how to enter words while working from the earlier chat log? If you have, I'd love guidance-just remember that I have the comnputer savvy of a kumquat. Does anyone remember the Idiot's Guide to VW repair from teh 60's? It began with telling you which end of the car was whch. That's what I need.

5:30 pm

5:32 pm

lo 6/24? 2nd one? anyone? please? :)

5:33 pm

5:36 pm

Babbler

congrats, wassup! : D

5:37 pm

Dr_God

When you click the "View Entire Chat Log" button, it will automatically open up in a new window. No Windows- or Mac-related know-how needed.

5:37 pm

lola100

hey anj? katies going to catch the train to london with me for the babble convention...can you meet us at king's cross so we don't get lost?? : D

5:37 pm

5:38 pm

*peeks in*

5:38 pm

Dr G. Yes, it opens up that window, but it replaces the present one-so that I can't enter words at the same time.

5:38 pm

KatieMcG

Mega is so a word!!!

5:38 pm

antinea

wassup, i have only one of the h words. i have a 4 letter one.. any clues for the other 2?

5:38 pm

perhaps it's only a prefix, Katie; i'm not sure?

5:38 pm

wassup

katie, i'm laughing because i never even saw that word the whole time!

5:38 pm

Dr. G. i have no "view entire chat log" button. but it may be related to my firefox problem of earlier

Babbler

5:39 pm

Eva

Dr G- I'm so sorry! I just checked it out again and realized that they can both be up at the same time....problem solved (never existed to begin with except in my chipmunk brain!)

5:39 pm

wassup

antinea, there are only 3 h words and they're all 4 letters.

5:39 pm

no, Smaller; there isn't one, but i was ale to view the archive for today.....they're all linked to just above here!

5:39 pm

okay

5:39 pm

ach; where did my 'b' go??? :-P i was 'able' to view.....etc!

5:40 pm

5:40 pm

one sounds like the hawaiian dance, but change the u to the 3rd vowel

5:40 pm

smaller

thanks mikey!!! you're such a sweetie!!

5:40 pm

Dr_God

Eva-
It will create it on top of the current winow. A cool Mac trick (not sure if there is an equivalent for Windows) is to hit Command-tilde. Or if you are using a recent version of OS X, hit F9.

5:40 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, smaller; that's so sweet of you to say.....but you would know if i'm sweet i suppose.....since you *ate* me!!! :-/

completely off topic (I think).. isn't there a word for the first day of school? Like the day school formally starts? Or the ceremony that is held on that day?

5:42 pm

wassup

the other one is the same but the last letter is switched to the 3rd vowel

5:42 pm

Eva

OOOH-the F9 thing is seriously cool! As you can see I donb't know half of what my iBook will do. But the littel windows it creates are way too small for my eyes. can you adjust the preferences to make larger windows?

hi all. Any help with al5/14 and lo6/24 (2nd) They're my last two words!

5:43 pm

Anj

Hi bbnaz : ) No, just off a-wandering...

5:43 pm

Dr_God

Eva-
I think the size of the windows depends on how many windows you have open at the time. The more you have open, the tinier they have to be to fit them all on the screen. I would try out the Command-tilde thing. It will let you easily flip back and forth between the two Babble pages.

5:44 pm

bjornkri

hurshy: kinda, only for schools at every level including grammar school :P

5:44 pm

wassup

woodchick, the al 5/14 sounds like the stuff that is in citrus a***, but throw an l in there

5:44 pm

Eva

I'm really embarassed to ask this, but what;s a tilde?

5:44 pm

bbnaz

that is the best thing about this new page so far (note the so far) is seeing who is actually playing!

5:44 pm

hurshy

i don't know any other one

thanks wassup!

5:45 pm

Eva

Ah....

5:45 pm

nrkii

Dr_God... I love the new site. My only sadness is that the comments enter automatically when you hit enter. It makes it too easy to make a mistake and type a babble word in here. Otherwise, very much like the changes.

5:45 pm

Dr_God

Eva-
Squiggly thing next to the "1" key

5:45 pm

the lo 6/24 is lo + alternate spelling for cool. (not a real spelling... :)

5:47 pm

Eva

Dr G-took french and then Hebrew. No tildes. Thanks a lot for the help. Actually I don't want to flip back and forth-that's too unwieldy-having them side by side or overlapping will work I think.

Dr_God, if you're still around, I just had a fleeting thought...make the tile stats so that a bar moves from left to right as you get more words for a given letter, and changes color from red to green as you get more letters.

6:38 pm

shutterbug

You can still hide the whole chat log though.

6:38 pm

6:44 pm

6:51 pm

tndaisy1960

you'll go "slap" when u see it I'm sure

6:51 pm

hetty

peri, the 9 letter word begins like the 7letter word but after the double sticks you have the last 2 letters before x in the alphabet followed by the third and then the first vowel. Alleluia! then add a stic and take it off again for the co8

6:51 pm

shutterbug

hetty, I LOVE your icon!

6:51 pm

tndaisy1960

the latin word that is...not that 9 word...that thing is awful!\

6:52 pm

6:55 pm

tndaisy1960

il, peri

6:55 pm

hetty

The other 8 starts with "il"

6:55 pm

tndaisy1960

and to me, it's just as nasty as the other one

6:55 pm

hetty

. . .but it ends in the same way as the first 8! Just replace co with il

6:56 pm

lynxxx

6:57 pm

Zwee

"There is a theory that states that if a group of monkeys are allowed to type forever, one of them will eventually produce the entire script of Hamlet. However, this theory is false, as all they managed to produce was the programming code for Microsoft Windows." *grin*

6:57 pm

Douglas

Exhaustive search revealed A genus of tough, leathery seaweeds, usually of a dull brownish green color; rockweed.

6:57 pm

7:00 pm

GreyWoulf

If you think about it, IDIC is the most concise definition of chaos theory you will ever find :)

7:00 pm

GreyWoulf

especially when applied to fractals

7:00 pm

Douglas

When I was in high school, I had the pleasure of reading the story "Inflexible Logic" by Russell Maloney, a story about the whole "monkeys typing Shakespeare" bit. In the story, the monkeys were turning out vast amounts of outstanding material, and one of the scientists shot the other to prevent the results from being published.

7:02 pm

Myriad, the letters refer to the starting letter(s) of the word, the first of the two numbers refer to the length of the word, and the second refers to the point value of the word.

7:42 pm

Myriad

Good news, folks. Big icons have arrived! The next time you change your icon, a big version will be used on your profile page. So no more squinting and wondering what everyone's little icon is. ;)

Charm

Happy babbling folks. See y'all in a bit....

8:04 pm

stidmama

I thought the ag 4 was a little unfair, to be honest.

8:05 pm

stidmatt

It is flashing when it updates the chat log, besides that, it is working fine! It might be because of the version of firefox

8:05 pm

stidmatt

I use.

8:05 pm

Tigereye

Wooo fireworks at last

8:05 pm

stidmama

okay, that's been a common problem with Linux...

8:05 pm

Stevie-O

No flashing here; ff 1.5.0.3 on XP pro

8:07 pm

MikeyInBerlin

Thanks Douglas!

8:32 pm

Douglas

avis should be in the dictionary, as in "rare avis," but it is irrelevant to quarrel with the dictionary

8:32 pm

hurshy

rara avis, you mean :)

8:32 pm

tndaisy1960

lol Douglas...I just heard, in my head...7 of 9...saying that...

8:33 pm

Douglas

Thanks hurshy, yes. I was wondering as I was typing whether it was rare avis or rara avis...

8:33 pm

stidmatt

But the dictionary they use here is really bad, no... terrible.

8:33 pm

Stevie-O

Douglas: are rare avis difficult-to-obtain video files?

8:34 pm

stidmama

well, I redid my icon, refresh to see stidgrant as the parrot "iago" in _Aladdin Junior_

8:34 pm

Douglas

It should be, but it was merely my misspelling...

8:34 pm

stidmama

I thought it was a hard-to-find car rental agency?

8:35 pm

being really happy

8:38 pm

art begotti

cursed lag

8:38 pm

flerie

stevie-o...5 letters...14 points..

8:38 pm

it's the number of letters in the word and the score it earns.. i think

8:38 pm

musicmom

What happened? I go away for six days and the entire look of Babble changes!

8:38 pm

Stevie-O

ah.

8:38 pm

Douglas

One word is a variant spelling of a word meaning to scold mildly so as to correct or improve

8:38 pm

art begotti

i hate this lag on my comp. :D

8:38 pm

stidmama

musicmom! are you back already? or did you find a wifi connection?

8:39 pm

flerie

stidmama..how about al 5/14 instead?

8:39 pm

stidmama

al 5/14: al + spanish poem el ***

8:39 pm

Douglas

musicmom, the creator has been busy giving Babble a major upgrade

8:39 pm

musicmom

I'm back! We pulled in about 2 hours ago. 4 days in Gatlinburg and today at the Horse Park in Lexington. We had a great time -- b ut it is good to be home.

8:40 pm

musicmom

No wifi connections. We had dial up in the cabin but it was too slow and we were too busy to try to play.

8:40 pm

stidmama

so glad you're here! was your mom surprised?

8:41 pm

The Student

WOW! Havent' been here since the change. WOW!

8:41 pm

musicmom

Yes she was. Especially when we showed up with the guys and the kids. She was sure it was just going to be Beth and I.

8:41 pm

musicmom

Me either student. It was a surprise for me. But looks like great changes.

8:42 pm

Stevie-O

Student: Yeah. The new interface is really slick (although the chatbox input needs work)

8:42 pm

stidmama

the only change that is not easy (for me) is the chat box -- too easy for me to forget to move my mouse and click on the "add word" box, and then I hit enter... and..... *blush*

8:42 pm

stidmama

and the best part.....

FIREWORKS when you finish!

8:42 pm

Douglas

Cleo was one of the Muses, and the name of an award in advertising...

8:42 pm

art begotti

blush! blush! oh wait... that wasn't a word?

8:43 pm

musicmom

I wondered about that problem stid. It will be me making the mistake right there with you. I'm not playing tonight. Just wanted to check in and see what Dr_God had emailed about.

8:43 pm

does anyone have a clue for the co 6/24?

8:43 pm

There are fireworks when you finish???

stidmatt

I just have to say this... Isn't Grant cute?

8:43 pm

stidmama

yes. very COOL fireworks

8:43 pm

bookwyrmish

Dr. G, I'm still perseverating on the chat box complaints. Could you have it default so that once you hit "enter" in chat it automatically "tabs" you into the add word box--so that every time someone wants to chat, they have to click into the chat box?

8:44 pm

stidmama

ah! the proud big brother! ty son.

8:44 pm

Ah, I see Dr. God isn't online. I'll send him acomment. It's probably that we newbies aren't used to this chatting thing, but it has bothered a bunch of us.

8:45 pm

How are you all enjoying the grid? Did you see our 'find the name' game much earlier?

8:48 pm

stidmama

I saw that, but was too late to play... it was cute!

8:48 pm

Jacula

Stidmama!(((HUGS))) Is that you in your icon?

8:48 pm

Well, I learned something...

8:48 pm

8:48 pm

stidmama

no, it's stidgrant, our younger ch 5...

8:49 pm

tnx so much...

8:49 pm

A protein found in uncooked egg white that binds to and inactivates biotin. An abundance of ****** in the diet can result in a deficiency of biotin.

8:49 pm

stidmama

what did you learn now Douglas?

8:49 pm

flerie

:)

8:49 pm

stidmama

fu 4/8 is the opposite of empty

8:49 pm

Jacula

OOh! Just clicked on Stid's profile and see that Dr_God's kept his promise to make the icons bigger there. (Not just in Stid's. LOL)

8:50 pm

stidmama

fu 4/9 ends in third letter + third vowel

8:50 pm

8:51 pm

Jacula

A cu4/6 often takes place in Canada re young seals. Also, in Scotland re old deer.

8:52 pm

tnx evryone...

8:53 pm

stidmama

something else I learned last night/this morning (it all runs together) is that if the font is too small, people using firefox can increase the font size by holding down the control key and hitting the =/+ button twice....

8:53 pm

Jacula

I'll have to change my icon. I'm still stuck with the Black Sabbath Tyr logo from days ago! It was the shock of the site change wot dun it!

8:53 pm

Stevie-O

why oh why can't mghxlnd be a word?

8:53 pm

Douglas

Ah, thanks! In the movie "McClintock," John Wayne's character said that the Honorable Territorial Governor Cuthbert H. Humphrey was a cu 4/6.

8:54 pm

stidmatt

Cool Mom!

8:54 pm

stidmama

because stevie *whispers the rest* if it were, we'd have to "silence" you....

8:54 pm

Stevie-O

it would be worth... 51 points!

8:55 pm

stidmama

yes, we can all have fun with icons again -- even hurshy!

8:55 pm

hurshy

8:55 pm

stidmama

8:55 pm

Stevie-O - You'll have to be content with 84 points for the co9.

8:55 pm

8:55 pm

hurshy, I can't tell what your icon is...

8:56 pm

8:56 pm

shutterbug

8:57 pm

stidmama

cl 4/6: a person wore clothes of immense worth, they were cl** in gold!

8:57 pm

Douglas

Ah, a smart rat that knows the way to the cheese!

8:57 pm

harpjane

If you click on a person's profile, in some cases the icon is bigger. I think it must have to do with the size of the photo before it was resized, since it's not consistent.

8:57 pm

Jacula

co9/84, Stevie - of shale.

8:57 pm

stidmama

will you assimilate that as well Douglas?

8:57 pm

hurshy

it's bc i really wanted a pic of this bridge in my hometown that has the word CHEESE graffiti'd on it. this was the best i could do.

8:58 pm

Jacula

Oh, is that what it is, Hursh? I thought it was someone juggling a piece of cartoon cheese with their feet! *Makes note to see optician on Monday.*

9:00 pm

Douglas

Please understand that the assimilation thing is so not personal. It's just what we do.

Harp - I see what you mean about icon sizes. I just clicked on Circe's to see if it was a boxing glove or a conker and was no wiser.

9:02 pm

just today misstear! the beta was only up for a couple days.

9:02 pm

9:02 pm

Oh, ok, I get it. I was thinking you meant you couldnt find it.

9:03 pm

shutterbug

I'm leaving now.

9:03 pm

watch out for the chat box, it's really easy to accidently type your words there because I forgot to move the mouse back to the add word box

Misstearweus - click on the icon to the top far right of the mesage box.

9:05 pm

harpjane

Here's an idea for a resource page: I could use a list of the number total/points total for each combination. For example a 6 letter word with a total tile count of 6 would be 18 points, with a total count of 7, it would be 21 points, etc.

9:05 pm

circe

<---my icon is still a plum - I never updated as I am still waiting on the next in the series? :)

9:05 pm

Douglas

It's important to know the area through which ducts, nerves, or blood vessels enter and leave a gland or organ, as it is part of the process of assimilating an individual

9:05 pm

stidmama

there is an icon at the top right that looks like a newspaper page. BUT you probably want to open it in a new window or new tab...

9:06 pm

Jacula

or even the mesSage box. Yet again, I say, 'CAN WE HAVE AN EDIT/DELETE BUTTON PLEASE DR_GOD??'

9:06 pm

misstearweus

nice, the whole days worth without having to keep clicking...just not fond of new window

9:06 pm

harpjane

I can keep track of the tile points/total points for 5 and 6 letter words, but I get confused by the higher point words.

Heya Jac! The grid's not bad. Life keeps chucking new challenges right at my friggin head ..

9:07 pm

I just figured out how to add someone to "My Friends" You go to "Who's Online" and go to a person and click on "Add To Friends"

9:09 pm

Like I was the only person who didn't know that...D'oh!

9:09 pm

The "total log" function is still not working in Firefox though. I have to open IE to see it.

9:10 pm

harp: try upgrading firefox

9:10 pm

harpjane

I think I just did that.

9:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Took me abit to figure out too, Doug -- I just wish it was linked to the stat page so I could do everyone I consider a friend at once instead of having to rely on catching them while I am on as well

9:10 pm

With all due respect to the awesome Dr_God, he is passing the buck on this dictionary thing.

9:11 pm

I just found a word that I've never heard of, and dictionary.com doesn't know either. That was a separate complaint from the "add to friends" thing

9:12 pm

harpjane

So if you leave your computer on all day and forget to log off, it will show that you're online, right?

9:12 pm

stidmama

obviously cut out for genius-hood!

9:12 pm

Jacula

I know I upset Dr_G one test day 1 by saying I think the new Babble page is cluttered, but I still haven't changed my opinion. I didn't mind switching between grid and stats., and I preferred the chatlog below the grid. I'm ambivalent about knowing who's online or the 'friends' thingey. The features I do like are the last word (and time) added, the bigger icons (where they work) in profiles, the scrollable word list and the fireworks. However, I do have a gripe about the new word list: I like to save mine and print it out at times when I need to use a stats list. Before you could just save the word list and points values. Now it also saves the ? part as 'look up word', therby using more ink!

9:12 pm

9:16 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey Jac!!

9:16 pm

stidmama

sorry == that was for the 5 -- did you ask for the 4? it's probably what the boys are wearing in that picture, LOL

9:17 pm

stidmama

yum! I'll be right over Angelsong (love enchiladas) -- can I bring sparkling cider or limonada?

9:18 pm

Douglas

Thanks! Yet another word in the dictionary that dictionary.com doesn't know. Grr...anger building...adjusting...you know what I'm going to say...everybody, all together...

9:18 pm

Jacula

Oh, that's a pity! I can't see Seb's latest pic bigger in your profile, Wolfie.

9:18 pm

Douglas

It is irrelvant to quarrel with the dictionary!

9:18 pm

stidmama

9:18 pm

GreyWoulf

9:19 pm

Jacula

Ah, diaper brand? Now that is where I, as a UK citizen, have trouble cl4/6ing when it's mostly US folks on the line.

9:19 pm

FranMag

I'm sure I missed it earlier, but does someone have a clue for the second N word? Not 5/12

9:20 pm

Douglas

I don't have any n words yet, FranMag

9:20 pm

stidmama

9:20 pm

Angelsong

9:20 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - the lo words - The normal uterine discharge of blood, tissue, and mucus from the vagina after childbirth.

9:20 pm

Jacula

Those were the first words I got after the Scottish lake.

9:20 pm

stidmama

lo 6 and 7: take the lo 4 and add two vowels for the 6, and then a tall consonant for the 7

9:21 pm

Jacula

Hope no one was eating supper when I posted that! LOL.

9:21 pm

stidmama

be right there, Angelsong! :-)

9:21 pm

GreyWoulf

thank you

9:21 pm

misstearweus

Speaking of which, did Tom Cruise actually eat the placenta, or was he just kidding about that?

9:21 pm

iceman2

9:21 pm

iceman2

very slow website

9:22 pm

hetty

missyem, I gave some clues for the long ones earlier, but the dear knows what time it was, soI'll repeat them in trhge nest meage. Just have to tell Jac I could have misremembered the nationality of the moms in question--you know cannadians spend their time explaining to the English that they aren't American and to the Americans they aren't English and I havea story to tell abput diapers coming up

9:22 pm

misstearweus

GROSS Douglas!!! lol!

9:22 pm

stidmama

the connections are off and on right now iceman -- there are a lot of people babbling to work off the stress of work....

9:22 pm

tndaisy1960

Doug...I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL

9:23 pm

FranMag

Douglas, ni 5/12 sounds like something to do with the ebb and flow of the oceans.

9:23 pm

hetty

and Stid we had an avocado salad followed by haddock followed by carrot cake.

9:23 pm

Douglas

I just got the ni4...a new word for me...

9:23 pm

Douglas

Jacula, where in the UK are you?

9:23 pm

stidmama

oh yum! (yet again) good thing our dinner is just about ready.... Tom and Grant cooked tonight.

9:24 pm

Douglas

The reason I ask is that I will be in Edinburgh later this month for WWW '06

9:24 pm

FranMag

Thanks for the clue stidmama!

9:24 pm

Douglas

I've already had haggis, and have no need to repeat that experience...

9:25 pm

FranMag

Clue for v word, not v5/18 or v4/7?

9:25 pm

hetty

missyem, are you still in need?

9:25 pm

Douglas

mich_pdx

9:26 pm

FranMag

I gave the clue at 9:23

9:26 pm

stidmama

both v4 are 7...

9:26 pm

Douglas

Starting exhaustive search for ol 4/4

9:26 pm

Jacula

Douglas - I'm in Worcestershire in England. Haggis is not so bad if you know how to cook and serve it. LOL.

9:26 pm

torgone

Fran there are 2 v4/7 - va & vi - anagrams

9:26 pm

lds

I never found UL5 - clue??

9:26 pm

hetty

Doug, the ni5 is the ni 4 with an "al "ending

9:26 pm

stidmama

Douglas! margarine!

9:26 pm

firefly779

can't find av 6,30

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

ol4 is the margarine with a different vowel ending

9:27 pm

stidmama

av 6/30 is elusive... av 4 + opposite of out

9:27 pm

Jacula

Hetty. Hi. What's the diaper story? LOL.

9:27 pm

oneofakind

nida

9:27 pm

stidmama

Okay, missyem, now I have to remember what you ssked for. . the il8 and what else?

9:28 pm

Douglas

Thanks, all!

9:28 pm

Jacula

One of a kind - Did you forget to change from the message to the grid box? No matter. You got the wrong vowel at the end of your word.

9:28 pm

mich_pdx

silly me, I'm lost in co 8 & co 9 land -- the short ones I can get.....

9:29 pm

Douglas

Even though I would hardly wish to slather a corrosive solution of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid on my English muffin

9:29 pm

oneofakind

no sorry i typed in the wrong box! my mistake. <blush>

9:29 pm

stidmama

need to go for a while... bbl

9:29 pm

Jacula

Oneofakind - try the 3rd vowel instead of the 1st at the end of your word.

9:29 pm

FranMag

Thanks Torgone, just saw your clue. The chat scrolls so fast!

9:29 pm

lbetterman

2 words left need cl4/6 & co6/30 pl

9:30 pm

hetty

While I'm waiting for missyem, the tory is about my first foray into shopping for a six-month old baby newly arrived in Canada with her two year old sister and her four year old brother and a franic ***old mum. . .to be continued

9:31 pm

torgone

yw FM ..

9:31 pm

Jacula

lbetterman - cl4/6 - what you are asking for, and anyone else looking for grid words or doing a crossword.

9:31 pm

mich_pdx

hetty, ty for the offer, but this chat is too crazy to keep up... I'll get through. THANK YOU

9:31 pm

Douglas

I have never heard of the 6/30 word until tonight. I usually use the word "contemporary" instead of the noun form of the co6/30

9:32 pm

JBsAnno

I'm baaaaaccccckkkk! Dr. Who is To Be Continued to next week. I'm glad they kept the theme song pretty true to the original.

9:32 pm

GreyWoulf

in6?

9:32 pm

Jacula

co6/30 - a contemporary, one of the same era.

9:32 pm

misstearweus

i agree missyem...it goes by too fast for me to work a clue

9:32 pm

JBsAnno

(((((GGGGGGWWWWWWW!}}}}

9:32 pm

lynxxx

IN6 - decorative wood .......

9:33 pm

hetty

misy, co8 and co9 coming up--the longer one adds a stick to the shorter one, which comprises the opening three letters of the educational institution fullowed by the fifth and fourh last letters of thge alphabet followed by a tird and then a first vowel Alleluia!

9:33 pm

Douglas

Jacula, have you ever used co6/30?

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey JB -- one of the more surreal Dr Who episodes, wouldn't you say?

9:33 pm

lynxxx

LO6.24 pls

9:33 pm

Jacula

Douglas - No!

9:33 pm

JBsAnno

still scractching my head over hetty's clue....

9:33 pm

torgone

I hate when I find tirds in my yard ..

9:33 pm

Jacula

This chatlog does move rather quickly.

9:33 pm

Douglas

When someone hurts you, you sometimes say ****

9:33 pm

JBsAnno

Yes, G, kinda creepy!

9:34 pm

tamara27

What did she say anyway?

9:34 pm

Lady S

shit

9:34 pm

Lady S

sorry, wrong box

9:34 pm

Douglas

The reason I ask is because someone might use that word to show how clever they are, as opposed to using it to have someone understand what they're saying.

9:34 pm

Jacula

LadyS - shit isn't in today's grid. LOL.

9:34 pm

Lady S

it is when you suck at this game

9:34 pm

JBsAnno

But, Jac, would you agree: it's full of it?

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

ROFL, Lady S

9:35 pm

Jacula

Douglas - I know what you mean.

9:35 pm

JBsAnno

Hang in there, Lady, you'll get it!

9:35 pm

Jacula

JBS - There's a lot of Latin in it.

9:35 pm

FranMag

still can't get co6/30

9:36 pm

JBsAnno

<grin> It's all Greek to me, Jac!

9:36 pm

tamara27

My IQ is decreasing by the power of 10 every time I try this. I work 2 to three crosswords ever day and do the NYT daily. This thing makes me feel stoopid.

9:36 pm

Douglas

FranMag, try using an online thesarus and look up "contemporary" I don't know if that will help, but it might...

9:37 pm

jetx

jetX is in the game

9:37 pm

rumplestiltskin

Just checking in to say goodnight all.
Looking forward to another short puzzle.

9:37 pm

9:37 pm

misstearweus

I feel you tamara. Some days I all but throw my Masters degree in Writing in the toilet.

9:37 pm

jetx

thanks Douglas

9:37 pm

Jacula

FranMag - your co word sound like 2 very bad people and is an anagram of 'alcove'.

9:37 pm

hetty

As I was saying, my six-month old had run out of the garment we old moms from England called
"nappies", so I duly went to the drug store (which of course I called the chemists) and asked for nappies. There I was sent to the hardware store---imagine! where my request resulted in being shown a box of cute little glass bowls (fruit nappies, I believe they were) which, considering the use to which I wished to put them, were a serious joke. And that,dear listeners, is how I learned to know and to use the term "diaper".

9:38 pm

Douglas

tamara, did you go to Stamford this year?

9:38 pm

tamara27

Nope. I work too many hors to get away.

9:38 pm

tndaisy1960

I just got rock rich in silicon and aluminum forming the upper layer of the earth's crust beneath all continental landmasses.

9:40 pm

Jacula

Oh Hetty! LOL. Don't ever go to Australia and ask for 'Durex' or they'll give you a roll of Sellotape (sticky tape). Also, if you talk about 'fags' (cigarettes in UK) or rubbers (erasers in UK) in America, you will be totally misunderstood.

9:41 pm

tamara27

HA! just got he co 6 dagnabbit!

9:41 pm

Douglas

Debra Hamel tries to get as many words as possible without using the chat log. But the chat log is what makes Babble so deliciously addictive, the fast-flowing stream of wordplay

9:41 pm

firefly779

9:41 pm

Jacula

Who is Debra Hamel?

9:41 pm

We lived in Elizabethton, Carter County, up in the very northeast corner.

9:43 pm

hetty

As I've said to you before, Jac--or was it to Haz? we are divided by a common language. Wat I love about babblers is they have no problems communicating in any old lingo

9:43 pm

firefly779

thanks all

9:43 pm

Jacula

Daisy - I finished at 6.50am Babble time. So, I agree!

9:43 pm

9:44 pm

tndaisy1960

lol Jac...we're hopeless

9:44 pm

JBsAnno

As I sorta know where Huntsville is, LOL!

9:44 pm

hetty

And did you know, re the minute barbed hairs, that they are etymologically linked to the horror that makes your own nwck airs bristle?

9:44 pm

Jacula

Hetty - I think you said ti to both me and Haz. Speaking of Haz., who tried out my Bailey's Cheesecake recipe a while ago on guests, have you tried any of my recipes from BabAnon yet?

9:44 pm

JBsAnno

LOL, hetty, even your typos add richness to the chat!!!

9:44 pm

JBsAnno

mmmmm, cheeeesecake.....

9:45 pm

tamara27

Who has cheesecake?

9:45 pm

onyx

9:46 pm

JBsAnno

Jacula

Only about 3 days, Onyx.

9:46 pm

scatty

9:46 pm

Douglas

9:46 pm

scatty

Hi JBs

9:46 pm

tndaisy1960

www.frappr.com has a neat thing where you can post your location on a map...would be neat if all us babblers did that...Dr G could set up an acct...or any of us, for that matter...and put it somewhere on Babanon...

9:47 pm

Jacula

Glad to hear it, Hetty. I do try and test them first.

9:47 pm

Douglas

I normally declare victory after getting a little more than half the words, but I currently have 62 words, and hope to treat myself to some fireworks tonight.

9:47 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, Scatty! Look out for tamara, she's on the prowl for cheesecake! Yay for your fireworks!

9:47 pm

stidmatt

9:49 pm

scatty

Hi templeOwl

9:49 pm

stidmatt

I just went onto frappr and I would like suggestions on what to call us babblers!

9:49 pm

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks, stidmama

9:51 pm

JBsAnno

I agree, Temple - this is a case for a wide screen monitor!

9:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix that i'd be grateful

9:52 pm

Jacula

I think my screen is 16" - I can see the whole site (still looks cluttered though!)

9:52 pm

stidmatt

It is done. http://www.frappr.com/?a=createmap
&t=addtogroup&gid=638370&noheader= is the name of our group.

9:52 pm

stidmama

9:55 pm

hetty

Dr_God what,please, is Frappr?

9:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:55 pm

JBsAnno

Hey, stidmatt, cool! I just added myself to the map.
Note to Babblers - make sure you copy/paste the WHOLE address!

9:55 pm

Too wide?

9:56 pm

Douglas

I have the il word that's hip, but any suggestions on the other il words would be greatly appreciated...

9:56 pm

Dr_God

A frappr is a map that allows you to show where people are from. You can check it out at: http://www.frappr.com/babble

9:56 pm

hurshy

yeah some of us are getting a scroll bar at the bottom

9:57 pm

scatty

JBs what map

9:57 pm

Jacula

Temple - it's probably a nightingale or a nightjar.

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Dr_G -- the log will suddenly be too wide and have to sidescrolling becomes necessary to read it

9:57 pm

Jacula

Dr_G - where will that appear on the site? Hello again, btw. Have you read my views on the new site?

9:57 pm

hurshy

it just happened all of a sudden... at... what time was it...

9:58 pm

Dr_God

72 Temple Owl-
Definitely change your monitor resolution. Sounds like you're at 800x600. Go to Start > Control Panels > Display and change the resolution to 1024x768.

9:58 pm

Douglas

Could be a mockingbird...

10:00 pm

10:02 pm

scatty

JBs, what i can gather from scrolling down and reading the messages, there is a map that we are doing something with , god knows ( literally)

10:02 pm

Jacula

Hurshy - are you going all Shakesperian on us? 'T'was the nightingale and not the lark that pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear'. Actually, when I first heard that line I though Romeo must have horrible waxy ears! LOL.

10:02 pm

torgone

10:02 pm

Douglas

I'll trade you an A word for a U word, FranMag...what a words are you missing

10:04 pm

Douglas

I had this thought it might be that, but I thought "Naah, the dictionary wouldn't have that..."

10:05 pm

hurshy

"ah yes, your shakespeare's commentary on teen suicide"

10:05 pm

mamabear

Dr. G - when you open up the whole chat log for the day, the post times are not visible - anything you can do about that?

10:05 pm

hurshy

10:05 pm

JBsAnno

(((((MAMABEAR}}}}}!!!!!!!

10:05 pm

FranMag

10:06 pm

Douglas

There are two a 5/14's. You probably have the happy one, but not the one that's a lot like the movie with Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren. When a guy kills his sweetie's dad, it's bound to put a little stress on the relationship

10:06 pm

tndaisy1960

he's home gtg

10:06 pm

stidmama

10:15 pm

LeslieAnn

maybe you are too far north in canada, hetty, it doesn't look like it has all of the country. what are the british folks to do?

10:15 pm

Douglas

In the play "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown," Charlie Brown confesses to therapist Lucy "I'm not very ***** or clever..."

JBsAnno

Thanks, stidmama, I wrote the name down this time!

10:17 pm

LeslieAnn each of those is one hell*** clue. Take the "h" off, ake one of the sticks away, and add the ending of "alleluia". Then put a stick baclk on the end for the longer word

10:18 pm

Douglas

I was despairing as to how I could give a clue for that word without giving it away...

10:18 pm

hurshy

torgone...i just sent you an email...i think?

10:32 pm

scatty

lo 6/24 lo4+3rd vowel+1st vowel

10:34 pm

Douglas

I have the past tense of lied down, and the normal uterine discharge

10:34 pm

hope you are going to be okay....

10:36 pm

Douglas

I have the small cavity in an organ

10:36 pm

LeslieAnn

10:36 pm

misstearweus

how about the plural of locus?

10:36 pm

stidmama

10:37 pm

scatty

zip code?

10:37 pm

LeslieAnn

and remember to change it from "guy" (blue) to "girl" (red)

10:37 pm

misstearweus

yay lynxxx!

10:37 pm

misstearweus

yay lynxxx!

10:37 pm

Jacula

I still do not like the new site. It's cluttered and the chat moves too fast.

10:37 pm

stidmama

zip code .... postal code?

10:37 pm

scatty

jacula, did you put a flag on

10:37 pm

lynxxx

Anyone want anything before I go?

10:37 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah, so it knows where to put your marker

10:38 pm

stidmama

I think the chat is moving really fast, too... Dr_G if you're listening, would it be too hard to put an option for a slower refresh again?

10:38 pm

Jacula

Scatty - Yes, I put me and Paul in Worcs. BTW, a zip code is a postcode.

10:38 pm

scatty

i put my post code in but still couldn't work out how to get the flag over Oxford

10:38 pm

mich_pdx

6 words left, brain shut down, good night all, hasta manana

10:38 pm

misstearweus

10:38 pm

knutmeg

I'm going to zip out for a bit, surf some blogs, etc. I'll be back by the flip, laterz!!

10:39 pm

10:39 pm

10:39 pm

stidmama

10:39 pm

Douglas

Whoops, my bad, I'm missing the la 5/14

10:39 pm

misstearweus

AHA! ADD a letter to the one above it

10:39 pm

stidmama

I clued for the la 5/14 as coming between the two la 4/5, ending like scottish lake....

10:40 pm

Jacula

I'm losing it here. This site really does my head in! Any chance of being able to choose between the old style and the new style site, Dr_G?

10:40 pm

LeslieAnn

il 7/8 combo? i don't have any other long words to compare it to

10:40 pm

Douglas

Got it! And what exactly does that word mean, exactly?

10:40 pm

Jacula

I love this game and I love the chat, but not the way it's done on this new site. Sorry, Jamie, but it's how I feel.

10:40 pm

stidmama

Jacula -- is that you in your icon?

10:41 pm

Jacula

Stid - Yes, that is me.

10:41 pm

stidmama

no bleeping idea, Douglas! LOL

10:41 pm

FranMag

I need two more C words. One 5 letters and one 6 letters.

10:42 pm

stidmama

you look a lot like one of my best friends! :-)

10:42 pm

misstearweus

Doug...not sure...but almost sounds like something I'd say when something tastes nasty...

10:42 pm

FranMag

Leslie, if you have the two longer CO words, they are similar.

10:42 pm

Douglas

Wikipedia sez they're tree frog eggs

10:42 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't

10:42 pm

Jacula

Damn! Keep scrolling DOWN the chatlog to answer!

10:42 pm

Jacula

Stid - Do I?

10:43 pm

Douglas

I now have all the la words

10:43 pm

FranMag

me to, just need two C words

10:43 pm

misstearweus

oh dear...you have more l words Doug!

10:43 pm

Douglas

I'm missing one of the li words

10:43 pm

stidmama

yes -- pleasant smile, light brown hair, same eyebrows, from what I can tell -- and you're a good cook!

10:44 pm

FranMag

li + same end as scottish lake

10:44 pm

misstearweus

li 4/6 sounds like what your dog does...li4/7 opposite of die

10:45 pm

Jacula

li4 - all what's already been said, although the true meaning is an archaic word for 'corpse'.

10:45 pm

stidmama

the frogs and birds are chattering a lot right now -- the wind has died down for the moment, and I think they're making up for lost time!

Got it, but boy, is that one obscure word...

10:45 pm

JeeWhiz

si 6 words anyone?

10:45 pm

LeslieAnn

si + first vowel + ***k an ice cream cone, drop the k. change last letter for other

10:45 pm

stidmama

si 6: add the third vowel, then a consonant (the consonants are next to each other in the alphabet)

10:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry to get so quiet, but I am fighting off a headache -- I'll be lurking a bit but not very talkative

10:46 pm

Douglas

I'm missing the lo 7/36, which simply must have the lo 4/6 as a prefix, yes?

10:46 pm

stidmama

oh Woulf! I hope you're not dehydrated -- it always happens to me in warm weather...

10:46 pm

Jacula

si + a* Bundy from 'Married With Children' + first person + 1st vowel.

10:46 pm

stidmama

Douglas

I've wanted illegal to be a word all night...

10:48 pm

Jacula

Oh! Just got a huge deja vu there with Wolfie's last post. No, not being sarky or anything. The sounds gone 'all funny' like it does when I've been somewhere before, too. How weird!

10:48 pm

stidmama

il 5: the il 5 and the odyssey

10:48 pm

LeslieAnn

il + third vowel + first vowel + consonant

10:48 pm

stidmama

10:49 pm

FranMag

I wasn't expecting the il 5 to be in the dictionary...

10:49 pm

Hi everyone! Just received fireworks for the first time. It's been so long since I played babble. (Long story) but before I go, wanted to say hi to long lost friendly faces Jacula, Greywoulf, Mamabear, and Torgone... It's been a long time, glad to see you are all still here. Good Night!

11:15 pm

Oh my god i don't know any of those, i think my husband would though.

11:18 pm

Jacula

Jewhiz - Unless Jamie has a posting partner or he cloned himself, he was up and awake for a very long time when he did the grid changeover. I guess he's taking some well-earned rest now, even if people like me don't appreciate all of the changes he's made. I can't fault him really, except for when I repeatedly asked for an edit/delete button and he sounded just like my son when he repled, 'You should proof read before you post!' Yea! Like most people do? On chatlogs?

11:19 pm

Svet

Worked out the pet clue, now it's the other lo. Sorry about my dead brain.

11:20 pm

Svet

cochia

11:20 pm

Jacula

However, I think with this new site that he's just been a bit too caring and listening and has tried to please everyone. (Not an easy thing to do!) The result (in my eyes) is that he's put every bit of his jewellery on at once.

11:21 pm

Svet

Sorry wrong box,

11:21 pm

Jacula

Jamie - not talking behind your back, i.e. as not mailing this to you. I am just stating my honest opinion.

11:21 pm

Robbo

Oh well - first time here for over a year I think so I shall have to be happy with just over half in a relatively short time.

11:21 pm

Svet

Am i in trouble now.

11:23 pm

Jacula

Svet - why? What have you done? It surely couldn't be worse than the worst thing my other half did to me?

11:23 pm

Jacula

On Babble, that is.

11:24 pm

Jacula

I'd left my very last word to find all day, savouring finding it when I finally sat down at the end of the day. He came in from work, went straight onto the computer and informed me, 'I've found your last word!'

11:25 pm

kimberblue

i really need help with the 9er

11:25 pm

Svet

Ok i guess it's not that bad. what did your other half do? It must be bad.

11:25 pm

Jacula

Aargh! He might as well as filled my last crossword clue in or ripped out the last page of my exciting story or book! He's not made that mistake again!

11:26 pm

Ha, sorry, that is bad, bad bad.
