JBsAnno

Well, lack of sleep and blurry vision is making bedtime more desirable than getting any more words at this point, so I'm going to take my 51 words, and my 3 gray boxes to bed to dream of fireworks for finishing this later. Good night, everybody, Babble on!

1:29 am

melonheadjujube

1:30 am

Golux13

OK, I'm over the halfway point -- 125 gone -- and I'm going to bed.

1:31 am

ShadeEagle

I'm starting to see stuff like "tundra" and "tendril", so I have no shot of doing anything more with the board as of now.

1:31 am

libarebel

helenkeller-- the server is really weird-- cursor change is a delayed reaction

1:32 am

melonheadjujube

yeah i was wishing on tundra & tendril - not gonna happen (sigh)

melonheadjujube-- same here w/ waterlogged garden :)

1:36 am

libarebel

ooh-- sorry; puns can be painful...

1:36 am

melonheadjujube

i have flats that are waiting. today was actually nice, but i keep the sabbath rather strictly...hoping for tom'w

1:37 am

stidmama

ty again melonhead... I will trade you a few square yards of my dry clay for some of your wet...

1:37 am

melonheadjujube

as i once heard, were i puished for every pun i shed...

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

oh, clay we have. i've worked tons of perlite 7 manure into it (sister has a horsey)

1:39 am

melonheadjujube

i have a sib in chicago - the soil there looks like day old devilsfood cake. like an idiot i asked, "where's you get the dirt?" "from the ground." oh.

1:39 am

stidmama

I would love some horse poo for my garden! :-) it would be a really good help... but don't have a truck for hauling.

1:39 am

stidmama

oh man -- my soil will look like that by the time I have grandchildren (note my elder only just became a teen recently...) may it be another fifteen years or more...

1:39 am

melonheadjujube

cow doo bettr, but horse doo is less pungent. best from th eyear old pile at the stable. we gardeners are a bunch....

1:40 am

melonheadjujube

perlite is really good stuff. lightweight, doesn't break down, bt does break up the soil.

1:40 am

helenkeller

lol melon - i live in chicago - that's very funny - most of my soil is very good, but there is some clay, here & there - but not much

1:41 am

libarebel

chickenpoo works really well

1:41 am

stidmama

aren't we though! I can talk garden, flowers... all day long. Not happy with my fruit trees though, I just found peach leaf curl on my last good peach tree. Will have to hand pull the bad leaves this year and s/pray a lot to see if it makes it to next year... the nectarine and the other peach have to go though.

1:41 am

stidmama

whew! talk about pungent, though!

1:41 am

melonheadjujube

loam is the official soil of the state of Illinois, so i hear

1:41 am

libarebel

haven't tried pigeonpoo; very abundant in the city...

1:41 am

melonheadjujube

fruit trees stid - i'm impressed!

1:42 am

helenkeller

official soil - lol

1:42 am

melonheadjujube

liba, what about Canada geese - yow.

1:42 am

libarebel

or seagullpoo...

1:42 am

melonheadjujube

for real HK, my sis told me.

1:42 am

stidmama

we have about half an acre for garden, the other half is still mostly treed... but under the half inch of topsoil is all clay.

1:42 am

helenkeller

we had that very bad hailstorm a couple of days ago, so many baby pears, apples & grapes on the ground :(((

1:43 am

helenkeller

melon - where is your sister at?

1:43 am

stidmama

and I wanted my children to experience real fruit of many types when they were little... we planted trees before we started painting the bedrooms!

1:43 am

libarebel

oh, melonheadthose geese are misplaced, poor thing, but they sh** lie dogs, which fact makes them unwelcome...

1:44 am

helenkeller

well, it seems you have your priorities striahgt stid :)

1:44 am

melonheadjujube

i rent, but nice landlord let's me garden, the vegs are just a 6 ft dia circle in the front yard, its the sunniest location - i paid to have a stump removed. spinach is coming up, bunies got to the lettuce. bloodmeal s/discourage them.

1:44 am

stidmama

oh- hail is bad -- I am so glad it's rare here. I am really hoping for some apples this year from my tree, and I know we'll get lots of plums and quince again. I just love them.

1:45 am

1:55 am

stidmama

stidmama

2:10 am

helenary

i'll look at the site mentioned

2:11 am

stidmama

Scatty -- there was some sort of problem at first with UK and Canada addresses, but I think it's fixed now... you might try again if you have time and interest.

2:11 am

mrpresident

Nice changes too... did you see Lickety's clue page? Nice new addition too!
Winter hasn't been here for about 15 years now!! the weather is almost tropical now!

2:11 am

scatty

if you can get the flag to work helena, let me know, step by step how you did it please

2:12 am

scatty

2:15 am

stidmama

stidmama

2:16 am

helenary

how do i get my flag back?? lost it since the changes

2:16 am

sunny09

I am down in the lower southeast part, just up from the border... about 5 hours drive

2:17 am

stidmama

I ask because in the US California is really long. The north has weather very much like ours in the Puget Sound region, the south is really tropical.

2:17 am

stidmama

I think you just need to go back into your account settings, helenary.

2:18 am

sunny09

7:14 am

cg530

hi, i'm new here...can someone tell me why the same letter appears more than once in tile stats?

7:15 am

sprite

Welcome! Because they appear more than once in the grid itself, probably.

7:16 am

cg530

um...i'm not sure i understand...

7:17 am

sprite

The tile stats are arranged in the same order as the tiles of the grid itself. Each letter in the stats refers to a tile on the grid. So the E in the middle upper row says there are 2 words, starting with that specific E.

7:17 am

HeavenlyCharm

It tells you the how many words begin with the first letter on the grid... so from the top left there are 6 words that begin with that N... at the bottom right there are 5 words that begin with the N down there

7:18 am

cg530

oh! thanks! :c)

i wonder if the other stats are right - i'll have to check

8:01 am

saphyre

all the others seem to be ok... how odd

8:02 am

sprite

I had something like that, yesterday. I had entered 'azide', but it did not show up in the list. Re-entering the word gave the "you already entered this" message. But after a while somehow the word had appeared in the list yet.

8:03 am

saphyre

yes that has happened to me before also, but the tile stats always seemed to work

8:03 am

sprite

Must be some kind of bug. Don't know if DrG is open to bugs, but it sounds like something he should know about.

8:04 am

saphyre

just use the send message at the bottom?

8:04 am

sprite

That should work fine.

8:06 am

hannah lou

8:08 am

sprite

I am fine, hannah, and you?

8:08 am

saphyre

Jera

8:09 am

saphyre

8:10 am

sprite

K-words do that to you. They are sooooooo bad.

8:10 am

hannah lou

jera im good ui

8:10 am

Jera

Thought that might cheer you up, saphyre!

8:10 am

Jen

not as bad as re words sprite!

8:10 am

saphyre

just slap me if i ask for a k clue later :)

8:11 am

sprite

I prefer re-words!

8:11 am

Jera

For me, vowel words are the worst...

8:11 am

Uneaixoise

i agree--a's aren't my faves either!!

8:12 am

saphyre

maybe i should enter all my k words again :)

8:12 am

Jera

That might work, saphyre... worth a shot!

8:12 am

sprite

Done. And for the 3rd time in a row: no fireworks. Is this site buggy or what!

8:12 am

Jen

Congrats sprite!

8:13 am

Jera

8:13 am

sprite

:) cheers from you guys are even better than fireworks!

8:13 am

saphyre

nope...but I just noticed that two of them i typed with my caps lock on... maybe that did something

8:13 am

Jera

Hmmm... 3 days of no foreworks, you say? Hmmmm... that's how long it's been since I've completed a puzzle... coincidence? Or am I holding everyone up with my laziness??

8:13 am

saphyre

congrats sprite

8:14 am

sprite

LOL Jera!

8:15 am

sprite

Got to go, happy hunting all!

8:15 am

saphyre

bye sprite

8:15 am

Jera

Bye, sprite!

8:15 am

Uneaixoise

bye, sprite!

8:16 am

saphyre

ok i found the bug - if you type in uppercase it doesn't record them in the tile stats

8:16 am

Jera

That didn't used to make a difference... good to know... glad your mystery is solved, saphyre!

8:17 am

saphyre

i guess i need to use the list today to keep track of what i really need.

8:21 am

saphyre

oh well - 100 to go I'll be back later

8:21 am

saphyre

Jen

Not you featherbee, I think we all just got lost in the grid! :)

8:43 am

featherbee

heh, i was wondering if there was something wrong with the chat! don't think i've ever seen it that quiet!

8:50 am

musicmom

Stats Schmats I'm going to play today. I may not finish but it has been three days and I'm going through grid search withdraw.

8:51 am

featherbee

it's not too bad so far, musicmom

8:52 am

musicmom

I'm just going for it. Greg and Sarah have left for his gig in Parkersburg. Hannah slept over at the babysitter's last night. It is quiet and I'm alone. Great time to play

8:55 am

8:57 am

musicmom

Hey Zubie Welcome to the new and improved babble world

8:58 am

zubie

Hi musicmom; when did this change happen? I am scared of the new look :d

8:58 am

cathy22w

hey zubie... wb!

8:58 am

zubie

Hey cathy thanks

8:59 am

cathy22w

i came back after quite a break too... this change is actually nice

8:59 am

musicmom

Sometime around the first of May. I was gone for a week and came back shocked as well.

8:59 am

zubie

I don't doubt it; just needs getting used to...My system can't take it yet!

9:00 am

musicmom

One warning. Be very careful to switch your cursor back to the add word box before you type a word. Lots of us have screwed up putting words in the chat

9:00 am

scraggly

Done. 246 words.

9:00 am

zubie

Oh...yes, nearly happened to me already. Thanks musicmom.

9:00 am

I think it will take a while for me to get used to this - the page looks so...*busy*!

9:02 am

Grim-Bigyen

LI 5 10 ? ..... please

9:02 am

musicmom

Zubie - it is my understanding that pretty soon you won't be able to see the tile stats if you don't have Pro status. Dr_God put them there so people could try them out.

9:03 am

musicmom

I don't have that yet Grim

9:04 am

zubie

Tile stats as is? The word list of words I've found? Gee - if that happens then it's going to be tough

9:05 am

featherbee

i keep wanting to do tendril

9:05 am

musicmom

No zubie - down below the grid. You have tile stats -- -they show you how many words come off each letter in the grid

9:06 am

zubie

I've never had that, musicmom; not even before the change

9:06 am

musicmom

You should have it now --- hmmmmm unless it has gone away already sorry:-((

9:06 am

FMitch

Hi zubie, long time, how are you?

musicmom the stats have already been taken away form non pros, happened a couple of days ago.

9:07 am

featherbee

i think it may have left by now

9:07 am

musicmom

Thanks FMitch - I have been away from the grid for about 3 days

9:07 am

zubie

I don't have it now; and if it's gone away already that pretty unfair of it - going before I even had a chance to meet it ;D There's manners [of a stats panel] for you ;D

9:07 am

zubie

FMitch!!! Yayyy! Hi how are you?

9:08 am

musicmom

LOL Zubie - what are you going to do?

9:08 am

FMitch

Glad to see you!!!!!, where have you been!!!!!

9:08 am

zubie

I have come back after almost a month to experience a severe shock to my system - a changed page, chat logs where there were none before and stats panels vanishing before I meet them!

9:09 am

FMitch

I know zubie, it's taking a lot of getting used to and it's still quite buggy. Have a look at lickety and angelsongs lins under friends of babble to all new and improved

9:11 am

zubie

I'm not going to do anything right now, musicmom; the disappeared stats panel will have to stay disappeared until I can figure out what to do about them.

9:11 am

zubie

Thanks, ARB, as a studnt of theology many years ago I learned Hebrew and had to read the pentateuch in its original masoretic text-- I've never forgotten the powe of those stories. Whether myth, history, metaphor--whatever--matters nor at all. There is truth there

2:05 pm

CadFan

2:06 pm

ARB

2:06 pm

LeslieAnn

lickety said after the flip that from his list of 13 most used babble words that 6 were in this puzzle

2:07 pm

hurshy

i believe it!

2:07 pm

nrkii

does the po 7 build off the po 4 before it ?

2:07 pm

hurshy

yes nrkii

2:07 pm

ARB

Cadfan, na 4/4 -- a bread from India

2:07 pm

ARB

Nrkii -- yes it does, think British spelling

2:07 pm

hurshy

i'm going to finish sudoku but i'll pop back and forth

2:08 pm

ARB

Shalom

2:08 pm

gramma

I'm back from errands in town. What a joke that trip was. I should have stayed home and babbled.

2:08 pm

LeslieAnn

geez, after the last puzzle i would be ok with no a's at all... no luck there

2:09 pm

nrkii

tx arb!

2:09 pm

gramma

Can any1 help me w/UL5? I have the 4. Am I missing the obvious?

2:10 pm

Minveryork

what is Sudoku? I thought it was another word game.

2:10 pm

CadFan

Ihave the Indian bread, and its plural

2:10 pm

ARB

Gramma -- add a consonant to the ul 4

2:10 pm

Minveryork

I just looked at the website and I just seen numbers.

2:11 pm

ARB

Good on ya, Cadfan

2:11 pm

hurshy

it's a logic game, minver.

2:11 pm

Minveryork

What are the rules of Sudoku? How do you play it? Is it funner than Babble? I think Babble is pretty fun!

2:11 pm

gramma

ARB, at the end?

2:11 pm

ARB

Gramma, yes

2:12 pm

CadFan

I'm a bit pouty today - paid for Pro on Friday - but it isn't reflected yet.. so I have no stats and am playing blind.

2:12 pm

LeslieAnn

cadfan, try logging out and logging back in

2:12 pm

gramma

ARB, ty.

2:12 pm

balletslippers

my stats are gone :( anyone know how many words are in the grid today?

2:13 pm

ARB

246

2:13 pm

pam

246 words total

2:13 pm

balletslippers

thanks

2:13 pm

CadFan

Hey.. P.S> - I know some of you may recall that my son was in a serious accident last August. Yesterday he was a member of 2 Colorado State finalist relay teams at the Colorado State Track meet.

2:14 pm

LeslieAnn

that is wonderful cadfan! congratulations to him.

2:14 pm

ARB

That's great news -- sounds like a really complete recovery.

2:14 pm

CadFan

Oh - I'm guessing it's probably a Paypal delay. I'l totally survive - it's just that I finally made the decisoin to spend the money and Im disappointed it takes so long!

2:14 pm

pam

Congrats, CadFan. I do remember that and he has a great deal to be proud of!

2:14 pm

balletslippers

and i already have 92... only 154 to go

2:14 pm

CadFan

YEs. complete recovery - and what makes his participation in the meet all the more special is that he is only a Freshman.

2:15 pm

LeslieAnn

wow. sounds like a pretty strong-willed person

2:15 pm

ARB

Cadfan, you can get all the stats using the link to Lickety's site on the bottom of the page.

2:15 pm

M3

cad how old is a freshman?

2:15 pm

hurshy

but that's odd cadfan, it's supposed to be instant - you should email the doc. glad about your son!

2:16 pm

hurshy

and woohoo on me!!!!!!!!!!! i did today's hard without marking.

2:16 pm

CadFan

Strong willed.. yes, that would describe Graham - including all the positive and negative that accompany that term

2:16 pm

LeslieAnn

nice one, hursh

2:16 pm

CadFan

Freshman in the US are 9th graders... 14-15 years old - Graham is 15

2:17 pm

CadFan

Hmmm.. I think I'll try the log out log back in again...

2:17 pm

M3

thanks. just nosey. ! good for him x

2:17 pm

ARB

Hurshy, I can't get excited about sudoku -- much prefer word games. I admire anyone with the ability to use logic on no verbal things.

2:18 pm

hurshy

i like babble better than sudoku cause it's always different. sudoku, once you master it, is kinda always the same.

2:19 pm

ARB

Ah, maybe that's why I lost interest in the 2nd week. It's amazing how it has swept the world -- you find it in the Hebrew papers here, and in the Arabic.

2:22 pm

Minveryork

I was just introduced to Babble & now I am addicted to it. How long has this game been on the internet?

2:22 pm

hurshy

a few years, minver.

2:22 pm

nrkii

hurshy, I have 2 to go, can you help?

2:22 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody play WEBOGGLE? I like that game too.

2:23 pm

hurshy

of course nrkii

2:23 pm

hurshy

i've played it some minver

2:23 pm

nrkii

I am stuck on the last PO

2:23 pm

nrkii

and a T, but I have to find which one

2:23 pm

hurshy

po6, think of a word for the pope but change the ending

2:23 pm

Minveryork

But the words are not worth as many points and it is a timed game. Alot more pressure for a lot less points

2:24 pm

hurshy

that and the site isn't as good - it hangs up a lot and there's no chat...

2:25 pm

hurshy

and it's not as PRETTY

2:26 pm

ARB

nrkii -- po 6/21 -- Sophia Loren's husband's last name + consonant

2:27 pm

nrkii

hurshy and arb, thank you!

2:27 pm

Minveryork

I believe that it would be hard to chat on Weboggle since you have no time to chat when playing it.

2:27 pm

nrkii

now just missing a ta 4/4 to finish

2:28 pm

Minveryork

What's the first name of Sophia Loren's husband? Is he famous?

2:28 pm

ARB

ta + 7th note of the scale

2:28 pm

nrkii

DONE! (was so excited I typed DONE in the add word box first)

2:28 pm

ARB

Carlos, I think

2:28 pm

LeslieAnn

huzzah nrkii!

2:28 pm

hurshy

lol nrkii :)

2:28 pm

ARB

YEAH Nrkii

2:29 pm

hurshy

that's true minver. but also if it's going to be timed i don't like that people can play as teams.

2:29 pm

Minveryork

I just googled it. Her husband's first name is Carlo.

2:30 pm

nrkii

oh my, well I still have the NYT Sunday crossword to do , and the DaVinci Eurostar quest -- my day is far from over!

2:30 pm

nrkii

thanks for all your help, especially ARB and Hurshy!

2:30 pm

hurshy

today is a very exciting day for me

2:30 pm

ARB

Ignore my ta hint -- it's 10:30 p.m. here

2:31 pm

nrkii

hurshy, why?

2:31 pm

ARB

yw

2:31 pm

LeslieAnn

because you get to chat with all of us?

2:31 pm

ARB

Hurshy, why?

2:31 pm

Minveryork

So how does that work?Is it a bunch of people sitting around one computer with one person typing?

2:31 pm

hurshy

because *shame* i watch "charmed" regularly, even though it's really not a good show, but i can't stop! and tonight is the LAST EPISODE EVER and i will finally be free!!!!

2:32 pm

nrkii

ooh, yes hurshy, this is very important to me too

2:32 pm

hurshy

i dunno minver, that's what i would imagine.

2:32 pm

Aussieme

Hey All, hows it going tonight ?

2:32 pm

LeslieAnn

hello aussie

2:32 pm

nrkii

be proud of your guilty pleasures hurshy

2:32 pm

ARB

Poor me, I have no idea of what you are talking about -- we getAmerican TV a year later.

2:32 pm

hurshy

fine and dandy aussie.

2:32 pm

nrkii

hi aussieme

2:33 pm

Aussieme

Good to hear it

2:33 pm

ARB

Hi Aussie -- it must be tomorrow there already

2:33 pm

nrkii

anyone care to know the icon themes for the coming week?

2:33 pm

hurshy

it's just, nrkii, i sit there and i watch and i go "this is so stupid! that doesn't make any sense!" and yet i can't not watch. so i am glad it is ending.

2:33 pm

Aussieme

Ok, which tomorrow ARB ?

2:33 pm

ARB

What is it, hursh?

2:33 pm

hurshy

tomorrow is DAIRY PRODUCTS

2:34 pm

nrkii

I hear ya! how many times are they going to kill the same demons --- sheez!

2:34 pm

LeslieAnn

2:34 pm

Minveryork

You could play Babble like that also. Who is to know who is with you helping you find words? It is kind of like getting clues or hints from the chat log, right?

2:34 pm

hurshy

it's very important that as many people as possible participate in DAIRY PRODUCT day

2:34 pm

ARB

I'm Sunday 10:30 p.m. you must be Monday -- for me tomorrow

2:35 pm

hurshy

well but we all get hints from each other minver, so that is different, we know how it works. i don't want to be just me on my own on weboggle competing against 5 people somewhere together.

2:35 pm

Aussieme

I'm Sunday 8:34 pm, not into monday yet, wish I was though

2:35 pm

ARB

Eat cheesecake?

2:35 pm

nrkii

hurshy, I will go looking for my dairy icon now

2:35 pm

hurshy

lol, ARB, if you like, but i mean have a DAIRY PRODUCT in your icon.

2:36 pm

ARB

Aha -- with a screen name of Aussieme, I assumed you were Australian. Silly me.

2:36 pm

Minveryork

I get your point Hurshy, that is true.

2:36 pm

LeslieAnn

hmmm, hursh why is this so important to you?

2:36 pm

hurshy

it was noble's theme suggestion and he'll enjoy seeing all the dairy products.

2:36 pm

Minveryork

What are these themes you are talking about. Does every Babble board have words to a certain theme?

2:36 pm

ARB

And I must sadly admit (hangs head in shame) that I cannot distinguish the various flags of the former British Empire

2:36 pm

Aussieme

No, born and bred there, but live in UK...... Lived here most of my life, whereabouts are you ARB?

2:37 pm

hurshy

no minver - the little pictures we pros have, our icons, we have themese for those.

2:37 pm

LeslieAnn

it's the theme we use in our icons, minver. just for fun.

2:37 pm

hurshy

if the grid related as well, we would have had "salacious" today.

2:37 pm

ARB

I am in Tel Aviv, Israel. I live 5 minutes from the Mediterranean, 1 minute from the City hall, in the middle of the city.

2:38 pm

LeslieAnn

how did you come to live in israel, arb?

2:38 pm

Minveryork

Oh, haven't upgraded to pro yet. I do not feel like I can upgrade to pro since I am far from a pro at this game. Maybe next year I'll be able to upgrade to pro.

2:38 pm

LeslieAnn

lol, you get more clues for being pro!

2:39 pm

hurshy

minver, it's just a matter of $15. lots of "pros" kinda stink at the game actually. i name no names.

2:39 pm

Minveryork

I thought that I was pretty good at word games,but you guys blow me away! I have a long way to go now!

2:39 pm

Aussieme

Sounds like a busy place to be then ARB..... Feeling bloated right now, be back in a jiffy, need to get some juice !!

2:39 pm

ARB

36 years ago, we decided to try it -- moved from MArin county in California with our 3 daughters. Still trying it, I guess.

2:39 pm

Minski

That's a beautiful area ARB! I love Tel Aviv!

2:39 pm

Dippnall

pro may be a 'mis-nomer' - pro addict would probably describe the condition better....

2:39 pm

LeslieAnn

i hear ya, dippnall!

2:40 pm

hurshy

it just means we're pro-babble :)

2:40 pm

LeslieAnn

is it $15 now? i think i only paid $10

2:40 pm

hurshy

yes it was $10 when i joined too but the price went up

2:41 pm

Aussieme

I paid $14.95, not a bad price when you convert it to Â£ sterling !!

2:41 pm

ARB

It's a lively city -- calls itself the city that never sleeps; lots of music, theater, sun, and beaches, along with occassional scuds

2:41 pm

ARB

Hursh, we got a bargain

2:41 pm

hurshy

ooh, aussie, how did you get the pound symbol in there?

2:41 pm

rebdickers

How do you get more clues? I've just upgraded and all I've gotten are the tile stats. Can you tell me how you all know which tile starts a word ? I seen where someone will say the e on the first row...how do they know? HELP!!!

2:42 pm

hurshy

rebdickers, you might enjoy reading "hurshy's guide to boxes - click on my icon.

2:42 pm

rebdickers

alet

2:42 pm

Aussieme

The Â£ symbol ? Its on my keyboard !!

2:43 pm

Minveryork

Yes, that's me! I am definitely an addict or a nerd or maybe both. Basically, I just have no personal life!

2:43 pm

hurshy

oh no fair i want one!

2:43 pm

Aussieme

Its above my number 3

2:43 pm

Haz1558

rebdickers - for second letter values click on Lickety's babble clues (under friends of babble) at the bottom of the page.

2:43 pm

LeslieAnn

reb, like, the first box says n 3/6 or whatever. that means there are 6 words that start with n, and you have three

2:44 pm

Minski

it's easier if you right click on those links and then open them in a new window and minimize them. You don't have to click back and forth.

2:44 pm

CadFan

Probably right above the 4 - where I have a $ - that never occured to me before!!!

2:44 pm

ARB

Hurshy, try typing on a German keyboard -- the letters are slightly changed and it makes for an interesting text

2:44 pm

Dippnall

yep - join the rest of us - I've been tied up for several days and suffered the most dreadful withdrawal symptoms..

2:44 pm

hurshy

lol

2:44 pm

cehess

for americans the Â£ is alt+ 0163

2:44 pm

Aussieme

I have the $ sign above my number 4

2:45 pm

hurshy

nothing happened. :(

2:45 pm

rebdickers

Thanks....!

2:45 pm

cehess

hold down alt and type the numbers in the numpad.. sorry, should've specified

2:45 pm

LeslieAnn

you might have to put it into word and then copy and paste, hursh

2:45 pm

CadFan

OH... the 3.. above that in the US we heve a # (which is also a pound sign!)

2:45 pm

cehess

it doesn't work from the numbers above your letters ^^

2:45 pm

ARB

Keep the alt button down while you key in all the numbers and then release

2:45 pm

hurshy

Â£

2:46 pm

hurshy

YAY!!!!!

2:46 pm

cehess

/cheer

2:46 pm

nrkii

hurshy, how'd you do it?

2:46 pm

hurshy

thanks cehess!

2:46 pm

Minveryork

So, do they have this website in different languages?

2:46 pm

Aussieme

Hey, it worked on mine too, I tried it..... hold down Alt, then press 0163, its cool

2:46 pm

cehess

Welcome ^^

2:46 pm

LeslieAnn

oh, i'm on a laptop w/ no number pad... no pounds for me!

2:46 pm

hurshy

um, someone copied it in danish or dutch minver...

2:46 pm

nrkii

my computer just yells at me when I do that

2:47 pm

hurshy

so how many $ in a Â£ right now? :) :)

2:47 pm

cehess

I had that issue too Leslie.. and buying a usb numpad attachment doesn't fix it, btw. I wasted money finding that out. =)

2:47 pm

Aussieme

Oh, drats for LeslieAnn !! cant you copy ans paste it somewhere if you want it ?

2:47 pm

ARB

Leslie,I think you can use the numbers on the top of the keyboard and it'll work too

2:47 pm

wassup

i can't do a pound... SAD

2:47 pm

LeslieAnn

well i can certainly copy and paste it from the log: Â£

2:48 pm

Aussieme

Anyhow, I'm not sure, I think it cost me Â£7.50 sterling for Pro-Babble, still not bad !!

2:48 pm

hurshy

i always wondered, cehess, why when i looked at the character map it would say those alt codes and i couldn't get them to work - now i know to use the number pad.

2:48 pm

hurshy

you can do lots of things from the character map, leslie.

2:48 pm

Aussieme

Guess what guys ??

2:48 pm

LeslieAnn

what aussie!

2:49 pm

ARB

Lesliue, scratch what I said -- it doesn't work.

2:49 pm

LeslieAnn

2:52 pm

rebdickers

I mean grid!

2:52 pm

wassup

that's funny leslie. i have a friend who's middle name is grace. she's so clumsy that it's really ironic. we always tease her about her middle name.

2:52 pm

Aussieme

**grins** ..... My Grandma's name was Grace, so middle name after her..... Listen, I have to pop off for a bit, Hubby due homw from work soon, have to get something for him to eat...... Will be back soon.....

2:52 pm

hurshy

yes, but rebdickers, if it looks like a word can start in more than one place, and you want to know where it counts... read "hurshy's guide to boxes".

2:52 pm

wassup

Mine too minveryork!

2:53 pm

nrkii

my name is nancy, which means "grace"; mom's name is the same, and we're the two clutsiest people I know

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

LeslieAnn

nrkii, you and your mom have the same name?

2:54 pm

hurshy

2:54 pm

nrkii

yeah, different middle names though

2:54 pm

Aussieme

see you all soon, will be in before friday, I know I will !!!!!

2:54 pm

nrkii

2:54 pm

LeslieAnn

2:54 pm

nrkii

yes, we answer the phone the same way

2:54 pm

hurshy

as lorelai said - men do it all the time, why shouldn't women?

2:55 pm

nrkii

so it got really bad when I was job hunting, and people would call my house

2:55 pm

nrkii

I had to tell them to ask for NANCY JUNIOR (kind of humiliating)

2:55 pm

LeslieAnn

hurshy - I hadn't but have read it now. I don't know whether it is just me, but I do feel that you emphasise the benefits of 'listlessness' to such a degree that people feel that they should do without, whether they enjoy it or not. I do use the list, as do many others and don't like being made to feel inferior because I do.

6:02 pm

Yeah it's big and you don't see it untill all you see is land for hours when flying. So much space that we can't use, so hot in some area, no water.

You have never intimidated me with your "listless"ness--i fact I founit rayther estimable but I myself suggested I would use the term "unlisted" for when I was trying to see words unaided. I shall still try to do that, but in fture shall be less twitchy abut point values etc. Youhave always been most helpful to me.I think we should all play however suits us best and rely as always on the eadiness of fellow players to rescue us in times of trouble.

6:08 pm

hurshy

oh no, yaya - you're on the right track already by putting in the word i left out.

6:10 pm

Yayahoho

I guess the question is "Do I want to learn new words from this game, or see how well I can find the words I already do know." I'm gonna go mediate on this for a few years....

6:10 pm

andy12489

see yuo everyone gotta go shopping, no milk, no bread, no beer - empty fridge - be back later in the evening

6:11 pm

hurshy

yaya - i left out "mutant" for a reason - it's related to a word that means to change - it's a thing that has changed, right? and the nu rhymes with it.

6:11 pm

hetty

Yaya, some of the a"new

6:11 pm

hurshy

hetty - it's not your fault. really. most things in babble are my fault.

6:11 pm

hetty

words" you will find through this game ou will never ever use.

6:12 pm

Yayahoho

Is it's meaning close to the word for becoming a mutant? Or does it just rhyme and mean something totally diff?

6:12 pm

ojad0

se 7\28?

6:12 pm

Yayahoho

I've never heard of it before, but now it's on My Word List for better or worse.

6:12 pm

hurshy

the n word, i don't know what it means, i didn't bother looking it up.

6:13 pm

hurshy

you can click on the ? next to it for a definition.

6:13 pm

hetty

Now Hursh. I insist on taking responsibility for the little exchange of opinion--in itself enlightening and nurturing of the fellowship, so there

6:13 pm

Yayahoho

rock, sway, or nod; usually involuntarily

6:14 pm

Yayahoho

6:14 pm

6:14 pm

debbinla

hey hursh - didn't know what the question mark was - thanks!!

6:14 pm

hurshy

i guess it may be enlightening and nuturing...you can take credit for anything good hetty. for me it's one more in a long list of things i've done to annoy people without meaning to.

6:14 pm

hurshy

kristin - it's not - last name of astronaut buzz.

6:15 pm

Uneaixoise

virtual fireworks for me (hope they come back at some point!)

6:15 pm

kristinc

Yayahoho

I'm missing one of three ke 4/8s

6:20 pm

Yayahoho

Is that the right way to ask a clue?

6:20 pm

nrkii

hurshy, you're the best

6:20 pm

hurshy

yes, yaya. one sounds like what you use to unlock your door

6:21 pm

Yayahoho

I have the boat part and the really interested one

6:21 pm

nrkii

and I envy your ability to work without the list -- best I can do is about 50% with no help (no tile stats or clueing in chat) and 70-80 with no list.

6:21 pm

JeeWhiz

HI I am back....can anyone help me with the an5s and an6. I have the last an5, but am missing the others.

6:22 pm

hurshy

well nrkii, that's about how i did today.

6:22 pm

nrkii

jee, for the an 6, add a vowel to the an 5 you have

6:22 pm

Yayahoho

I have 88 and checked list once to see how it works, just to know the first tw letters I was missing.... but I don't think I'm getting much more on my own.... have slowed way down

6:22 pm

hurshy

nrkii means add a vowel to end a marriage sans divorce.

6:22 pm

debbinla

6:23 pm

kristinc

hi nrkii and JeeWhiz!

6:23 pm

hurshy

and then there is the first 5/10, add the beginning of a big grey animal

6:23 pm

nrkii

my big weakness is keeping out of the chat when I'm trying to go on my own... the chat is entertaining, so it's hard not to read along

6:23 pm

hurshy

al7 is just like el7, which means joy

6:23 pm

JeeWhiz

ah, thanks...I tried that marriage one earlier, but didn't double the consonant.

6:23 pm

nrkii

but last night, about 4 minutes into the chat, someone was already asking for help on the 9, so I turned it off

6:24 pm

JeeWhiz

hi Kristin

6:24 pm

debbinla

you are the best hursh

6:24 pm

kristinc

nrkii...yeah I like to wait at least until the next day to break down and beg for clues

6:25 pm

nrkii

6:25 pm

kristinc

hi hi guys

6:26 pm

Yayahoho

Hey kristin, nice to meet ya.... wife and I are moving to Tacoma in a year

6:27 pm

Eva

sorry,sorry,sorry

6:28 pm

6:34 pm

Eva

6:34 pm

nrkii

dax, it's what you put in your engine

6:34 pm

6:38 pm

nrkii

bonkler, al 7 is like the el 7

6:38 pm

kristinc

al7 is the same as your el7

6:38 pm

nrkii

and al 5 is similarly parallel

6:38 pm

musicmom

Nrkii -- I am about 2.5 hours from Mason. I grew up about 45 minutes from there in Fairfield. Why? Are you there?

6:38 pm

bonkler

maudeclaude

thx nrkii

6:42 pm

musicmom

bye kristin and bonkler

6:42 pm

Eva

boy, trying to access the chat log from earlier in the day, since the format change, is really a losing proposition. Most of the time I end up having to force quit. Too bad, because I really used to enjoy floowing the thread of conversation and clues

6:42 pm

nrkii

bye kristin!

6:42 pm

nrkii

bye bonkler!

6:42 pm

hurshy

eva - i find that it appears to freeze up the program but that if i just wait long enough, it comes through ok. these days computers are so super-speedy i'm not used to that! :)

6:43 pm

nrkii

I usually open a second browser window and let it do its work there

6:43 pm

Eva

I've waited quite a long time, but now that I know that it stalls out on you too, I'll give it more time

6:43 pm

hurshy

yes, of course, a second window

6:44 pm

Eva

Does anyone have a handy list of the 7's that they'd like to share?

6:44 pm

Eva

If it feels too early for that kind of list, feel free to tell me. I don't want to spoil the hunt for anyone else.

6:45 pm

nrkii

al, el, et, in, ki, la

6:45 pm

nrkii

pe, po, sa, se, ti, tr

6:46 pm

6:47 pm

Eva

thanks nrkii!

6:48 pm

JeeWhiz

sa7 and da6/21 please and thanks?

6:49 pm

hurshy

eva - i wouldn't worry about asking for that sort of thing - if anyone doesn't want to be seeing stuff- as i don't when i start out - they can hide the chat log.

6:49 pm

nrkii

jee, SA = condiment + picnic pest

6:49 pm

Eva

Thanks for the reassurance hurshy.

6:50 pm

JeeWhiz

Thanks Nancy, I figured it might have that seasoning.

6:50 pm

musicmom

Yeah - don't worry about it Eva.

6:50 pm

hurshy

6:50 pm

nrkii

6:50 pm

nrkii

6:50 pm

JeeWhiz

Okay, that is one strange word. Thanks for the interesting clue Hurshy.

6:50 pm

hurshy

that one really makes us get creative - i like yours nrkii!!

6:51 pm

nrkii

yes, tough to clue that and no fish anywhere in site for those not getting it

6:51 pm

JeeWhiz

Yeah, where are those s and re words today? Kind of miss them when they are gone.

6:51 pm

musicmom

wow needed that clue thanks!

6:52 pm

nrkii

but we have the tions today jee

6:52 pm

musicmom

Not me Jee --- happy to only see one r word

LeslieAnn

7:07 pm

Eva

7:07 pm

shorty

7:08 pm

LeslieAnn

7:08 pm

andy12489

et 6/18 - french for star et 7 is plural

7:08 pm

Eva

thanks-so random whichfrench words are legit and which not

7:09 pm

andy12489

not only that Eva but "latin" is NOT a word

7:10 pm

Eva

and, as I mentioned before, seitan is not allowed, and it is absolutely a word. Don't like eating it, but should be able to enter it for the grid

7:11 pm

Eva

It insists that everything like "latin" is a proper noun

7:11 pm

LeslieAnn

oh i've never heard that word before, eva, i thought you were just having fun. what is it?

7:11 pm

LeslieAnn

seitan, not latin

7:11 pm

Svet

in,7. please

7:12 pm

andy12489

Svet, French for useless

7:12 pm

Eva

seitan is a gluten based non-meat protein source, used sort of like tofu by vegetarians. You can google it

7:12 pm

gramma

in plus ut5

7:12 pm

Eva

Thanks again andy,for the second french word

7:13 pm

LeslieAnn

so much french, so little time

7:13 pm

andy12489

de rien madamme

7:14 pm

rantandcrave

hello everyone...i've been playing for awhile, and i've never finished one. i was going to make this my first...i am getting frustrated

7:14 pm

Svet

sorry i don't know french and i only have one ut an dthat's he one to undo.

7:14 pm

LeslieAnn

this is a hard one to start! how many do you have left, rant?

7:14 pm

Eva

j'ai pas parle francais depuis longtemps, et j'ai oublie beaucoup, mais je peut comprendre des choses faciles

7:14 pm

LeslieAnn

the ut 5 is u + ti 4/4, svet

7:15 pm

rantandcrave

that's too embarrasing too say, leslie :)

7:15 pm

andy12489

Eva - you are doing much better than I

7:15 pm

rantandcrave

but it's the first night i've had with no distractions

7:15 pm

LeslieAnn

fair enough. just ask if you want clues, though.

7:15 pm

mab

me too, eva.

7:15 pm

rantandcrave

thanks :)

7:16 pm

Eva

When I went to school the only choices for foreign languages were French or Latin....not very useful these days

7:16 pm

mab

rant, do you know about the resource links at the bottom of the page that can provide you with lists, etc?

7:16 pm

Svet

thank you Les got it.

7:16 pm

rantandcrave

mab--yes, i might use it...trying not too yet

7:17 pm

andy12489

agreed Eva but Latin isa foundation for all western European languages

7:17 pm

mab

now if there were german words in the gird, I'd be completely lost.

7:17 pm

Eva

yes-I wouldn't mind taking it now

7:18 pm

LeslieAnn

speaking of which, i just spent about 10 minutes finding the la 5/18!

7:18 pm

andy12489

what stops you Eva?

7:18 pm

LeslieAnn

er wait, i think that's mediterranean

7:20 pm

Eva

other things I'd rather do with my time, but also tried learning Spanish a couple of years ago and found the memorization part much, much harder at 56 than it was at 16! Also, without a situation in which to use it frequently, it just doesn't take. When I studied french I was in class 5 days a week and then lived in france for 4 months.

7:20 pm

mab

i'm having trouble with this grid, just generally. Just one of those days, i expect.

7:21 pm

Eva

mab-I think it's an exceptionally difficult grid

7:21 pm

Eva

My back is really beginning to hurt, so I dont think I;m going to be able to stick with this for much longer.

7:22 pm

mab

it's good to know it's not just me, Eva.

7:22 pm

Eva

Andy, where is Calgary?

7:22 pm

andy12489

agreed Eva, learnig a language MUST entail frequent usage otherwise it is no good. I lived in Spain for 2 years 1989-1991 and while I spoke nearly perfect Spanish (as per my ex-girlfriend) I am uite rusty today, Can undersatnd 99% but cannot speak properly anymore

7:23 pm

andy12489

Eva - western Canada - just noth of Montana, 60 muinutes from the best skiing in the world - am going skiing tomorrow (last day of the season)

7:23 pm

andy12489

also oil capital of Canada, think Houston North lol

7:23 pm

LeslieAnn

in mid-may! it must be pretty cold up there

7:23 pm

Eva

My Hebrew had also gotten to a point where I could get along quite well, when I was going to Israel regularly, but now I get incredibly tongue tied and self-conscious when I try to speak

7:24 pm

andy12489

nope it is 80 outside

7:24 pm

andy12489

but mountains we go to are 8000 feet

7:24 pm

LeslieAnn

pshaw, the best of both worlds, then

7:24 pm

andy12489

yep - a small city (1 million) - ;perfect nature for hking / slkiing - hey my 4 year old daughter can ski by herself

7:25 pm

Eva

Must be beautiful there! Always wanted to do the Northwest. And take the Trascanadian railway. We're about 2 hours from Montreal, in Vermont. Waiting for snow tonight.

7:25 pm

mab

My hebrew is hopeless. Can read, but very little sticks.

7:25 pm

andy12489

been to Vermont Eva, when I lived in Ottawa. Beautiful state.

7:25 pm

Eva

reading is good. Do you read biblical Hebrew or modern?

7:26 pm

mab

Ancient Hebrew, for the most part. I need those vowels.

7:28 pm

Dax

i'm getting PO'd and the po's. Any help for po 7/32 and po 6/21?

7:28 pm

Eva

Funny how the absence of vowels stopped bothering me at some point. But my grasp of the tenses is pretty rudimentary. Also, having grown up without it, the gender stuff in Hebrew, Spanish, etc is odd

7:28 pm

LeslieAnn

i only have 6/21 - po + u**** we meet again - drop the u

7:29 pm

Eva

dax-po7/32 is the verb form for creating verse

7:29 pm

Dax

ok... anger subsiding..... for now. thx leslieann

7:30 pm

Eva

good night everyone.

7:31 pm

andy12489

good night Eva

7:31 pm

Svet

al 5/10/s i have the mans name + letter. there are 3 together and i don't have the other 2. please some help.

7:31 pm

mab

and there is po5/12 - grace under pressure. then drop the final letter for peas.

In Scrabble, as far as I know, a person has to play with the tiles they have or turn them in & forfeit the turn, no matter what the conditions. Erda's showing examples of non-vowel "words" -- just make sure they're in whatever dictionary the players are using :) Or else make up a "house rule" to cut some slack, but don't expect outside players to agree ;)
