2:59 am

joey

oops, did I miss something? no more lickety?

2:59 am

Haz1558

mrpresident - Lickety's list has been a tremendous help to many of us. I'm sorry that he can't continue, but I understand that even superman had his limits!

3:00 am

jaianniah

HOORAY FOR LICKETY DAY!!!!

3:00 am

oggy

why has he stopped.

3:00 am

Merk

No more Lickety? What happened? What is the alternative. I use the list when I'm pinched for time. This will really curtail my babbling.

3:00 am

FMitch

Hear Hear, bring back Lickety - it's great having him and BJ provide this great support to all us babblers

3:00 am

Atalante

the alternative is BJ'S LIST

3:00 am

jillibus

He is so much appreciated but - burned out? Guess he's allowed to have a life!

3:00 am

FMitch

We hear ya Atalante!

3:01 am

TheLegend

how do you get to BJ's list?

3:01 am

jillibus

TheLegend, you go to Babblers Anonymous

3:01 am

Haz1558

Click on Babblers Anonymous under Friends of Babble, then general, then BJ's list.

3:02 am

kalea

lol jill.............sad but true

3:02 am

TheLegend

thanks Haz and jill

3:02 am

sherb

Lickety deserves a break... he and brandyjack are great... :)

3:03 am

kalea

yep........where would we be without them?

3:03 am

Blaze

Oh my ... I don't know weather to have a party for the 100th Lickety post.... or a wake... with real tears... I live the format of that list... I love both lists

3:03 am

jillibus

MrPresident said she would try to get it going herself -- with lots of help from her friends

3:03 am

mrpresident

thanks sherb... they do that all for you guys... for the love of it!

3:03 am

MVA

morning all

3:04 am

FMitch

I think that some player presumed the lists were part of the babble set up and didn't realise they are done on a voluntary basis, and real life does have a way of interupting babbleland as we all know.

3:04 am

jillibus

morning MVA

3:04 am

kalea

hello MVA

3:04 am

Blaze

babble is real life.... Oh my did someone offend Lickety... ??

3:04 am

sprite

And don't we hate it when that happens, FMitch.

3:04 am

mrpresident

hear hear FMitch! you are so right!

3:04 am

jaianniah

I sure as heck won't get done as fast!

3:05 am

FMitch

LOL sprite

3:05 am

MVA

i would never finish if it weren't for the lists

3:05 am

sprite

And I can understand Lickety needing a break. It takes a lot of time to make the clues the way he does.

3:05 am

mrpresident

Blaze, no one offended Lickety!! he is unoffendable!!

3:05 am

froelica

how does he (and bj) compile the lists?

3:06 am

FMitch

Hi Blaze - unless you have been babbling as long as us and remember the days pre list and pre pro, the level of expectation is already set.

3:06 am

sherb

you're right FMitch... I gave up playing every day because I just couldn't find the time... Lickety and bj make a huge commitment in posting their clues...

3:06 am

sprite

Those were the days, my friends!

3:07 am

jillibus

When did Babble start?

3:07 am

sprite

It's in the archives, I think.

3:08 am

sherb

indeed, sprite... those were the days... scrolling through the log for clues, finding partial lists... only asking for clues when we were desperate... babblers these days don't relaise how good they've got it!! ;)

3:08 am

FMitch

According to the archives 30 Sept 2003

3:08 am

froelica

i think i started in the glory days

3:08 am

mrpresident

my birthday~!!

3:09 am

sherb

funny looking through the old grids... there was hardly any chat...

3:09 am

MVA

i missed 2 years of babble!!!

3:10 am

SweetTooth

Hello everyone!

3:10 am

Blaze

I have been babbling for over a year now... remember the BJ posts in the chat log and then swmbo started bab anon and the recently lickety and MRP made there great contribution... I guess many do not know the contribution made by these wonderful people.

3:10 am

sprite

Best birthday present ever :)
Well, I liked the old days, but I am having fun now as well. Sometimes I get a little irritated when people ask for clues after clues without looking themselves, but somehow they don't hang around that long. The hard core is growing with lots of great players :)

3:10 am

jillibus

Sept 30, 2003 is your birthday, mrp? You're very advanced for your age! lol

3:10 am

sherb

hi SweetTooth :)

3:10 am

sprite

LOL jilli!

3:10 am

mrpresident

LOL :))

3:11 am

Haz1558

Fmitch - do you like being called hard core?

3:11 am

sprite

and hi SweetTooth

3:11 am

FMitch

It was a totally different game in the early days, babblers played against eachother to win or finish first, clue giving was a very different matter then

3:11 am

jillibus

hi sweet tooth!

3:12 am

sprite

I think I joined babble when the competition was not that strong anymore. I enjoyed the helpful atmosphere of the site from the start.

3:12 am

jillibus

I think the cooperation in this community, rather than competition, is what make this site so very special

3:12 am

SweetTooth

sherb, I remember the old babble days with hardly any chat, except for toohott asking if Gooner was around.

3:13 am

sherb

lol SweetTooth :)

3:13 am

Blaze

Jilibus I totally agree..... we have had some great friendship circles form here.....

3:13 am

mrpresident

My core is vodka, lime and soda... anyone wanna glass?? we can celebrate the 10oth anniversary!!

3:13 am

FMitch

Well I have never been called that before!

3:13 am

kalea

cheers

3:14 am

sherb

cheers mrp... that'll go nicely with my breakfast... :)

3:14 am

froelica

i'll take one of those with tonic

3:14 am

FMitch

It's a tad early here MrP but I'll go for a glass of bubbly if yo have to to celebrate what would have been the 100th list

3:14 am

mrpresident

bottoms up!!

3:14 am

jaianniah

I do! I do! That will go nicely with my meds!

3:14 am

Atalante

bubbly at any time of the day is good!

3:14 am

MVA

bbl, cat and family want fed!

3:14 am

sprite

I apologise if my choice of words wasn't acceptable english! I mean the group of people that play often and stay for a long time.

3:14 am

FMitch

Cheers to Lickety and to BJ too

3:15 am

Blaze

great bubbly MRP

3:15 am

FMitch

LOL sprite we know, was only teasing, would never take offence at anything you say :)

3:15 am

jillibus

hey, that sounds really good, mrp! Trouble is I don't have any lime or any soda, so I guess just vodka will have to do - on the rox. Here's to Lickety and BJ and you and angelSong and swmbo and all the other helpers who have made this great game! Salut!

3:15 am

MVA

Ditto, Fmitch

3:15 am

mrpresident

hear hear jillibus!

3:15 am

sprite

Well, as non-native speaker I never know when I put my foot into something, lol.

3:16 am

Haz1558

sprite - it's quite alright! I was just teasing. Hard core is used in the building trade to use as a foundation for things, so quite appropriate. I was being mischievious as it is also used to indicate levels of naughtiness in the porn industry. No offence taken!

3:17 am

sprite

Lol... goes to show my ignorance on porn, I guess ;)
I am glad I didn't offend anyone.

3:17 am

FMitch

Haz, I don't believe it I was just typing the same thing pretty much word for word.

jillibus - good call on swmbo and angel too, shouldn't have forgotten them.

3:17 am

Blaze

Not at all.... I remember a time on the old chat log when we would get very offensive intruders.... it was nasty..

3:18 am

jaianniah

We still do get offensive intruders, but they leave awfully fast.....

3:18 am

froelica

do people really have nothing better to do that seek out conflict???

3:18 am

froelica

than*

3:19 am

sprite

Do you remember in the old setup, when typing a very long entry without spaces would bring the wordlist down? We had some very irritating trolls then, who kept doing it just to spite us.

3:19 am

sherb

didn't even notice, sprite... just spent five minutes wondering what you were apologising for...

3:19 am

Blaze

okay my vague word is defraud... duh

3:20 am

sherb

I like the trolls... it's like watching a social experiment...

3:20 am

jillibus

Well, it's been a great evening/morning but my brain is asleep and my eyes will be soon. Fare well, all - see you next time!

3:21 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, jillibus.

3:21 am

FMitch

I remember that. I think we have become a much stronger self policing comunity thank the old days and therfore we tend to be able to get rid of trolls as we all unite.

3:21 am

sherb

nite jilli... sleep well :)

3:21 am

SweetTooth

goodnight jilibus

3:27 am

You are most welcome to chat, Dianne. We all do it, and we keep hoping drG will fix it some day. Don't let it stop you.

Bye MrP

3:29 am

mrpresident

3:29 am

mrpresident

LOL, bye!!

3:29 am

Lol!

3:30 am

sprite

I would say: break a leg! But only in the artistical sense.

3:30 am

sherb

who would have guessed that Mr Harris was a verb... *puzzled*...

3:31 am

Blaze

he must be a politician of yours ... is he??

3:32 am

Haz1558

So what would the defnition (imaginary) be? (Mr Harris is an Australian entertainer, singer, painter, TV personality)

3:32 am

sherb

not exactly, Blaze... he's an entertainer, originally from Australia... he sings, plays the didgerdoo, paints...

3:32 am

sherb

*didgeridoo?*

3:33 am

Blaze

gotta go to bed... see you all later... only 209words to find

3:34 am

sherb

his all time classic is a song called 'Two Little Boys...', reputedly Margaret Thatcher's favourite song...

*begins to think that she knows too much about Mr Harris...*

3:34 am

Blaze

and I got he Mr. Harris too...

3:34 am

Night Blaze. Rest contented that you are almost finished ;)

3:34 am

3:37 am

kalea

3:38 am

sherb

ah, but amongst the rubbish are lurking many gems... :)

3:38 am

sprite

'rubbish' is a judgemental term for unappreciated gems.

3:39 am

Merk

Any chance of dissuading Lickety from his decision to retire from his list?

3:39 am

FMitch

Time for me to go. Happy Babbling.

3:39 am

sprite

Perhaps by giving him an extra 2 hours per day and some energy?

3:39 am

Haz1558

That's true. It's just that my brain retains dates and names but anything technical doesn't get a chance to register!

3:39 am

sprite

Bye FMitch :)

3:40 am

Haz1558

Bye FMitch - have a good day and hope the sun shines on the BBQ.

3:40 am

3:42 am

Haz1558

Sprite - there used to be a TV programme here called 'Name that tune' where people competed to name a tune in as short a time as possible. You'd have made a fortune!

Just yesterday, my husband was mad at the kids and called them down for a 'powow'.
And I started singing a VERY obscure song from "the mechanical horsetrough" (not kidding) about the indians who are coming, and gonna have a powow with your bowow. He started laughing and lost all sternness, lol.

3:46 am

mattygroves

Name that Tune was in the States as well1

3:47 am

5:27 am

Atalante

5:28 am

Anniebrook

herdarkmistress

5:32 am

Anniebrook

yes sprite, can you clue the ce 7/36? i dont like ce words

5:33 am

Haz1558

ce7/36 past tense of ce6/21 and sounding like a 'cutting' word. Now I really am off.

5:33 am

sprite

Ce7 is past tense of Ce6/21, Ce + Ra4/4 - Ra5/12

5:34 am

Anniebrook

thanks Haz!!

5:34 am

Anniebrook

and sprite!

5:35 am

Angb

Hi all. Newbie here. Can anyone tell me where to find out about the Tiles Stats boxes. Not in the help section

5:35 am

mattygroves

I'm still working on these blasted p words.

5:35 am

Anniebrook

scroll down and click on babblers anon, then click on general and get the stats for today

5:35 am

sprite

What do you want to know about them, Angb? And welcome to babble.

5:36 am

Miki

hi Angb

5:36 am

mattygroves

The stats show how many words there are that begin with each letter, and how many words of each letter length (you'll lose those in a couple of weeks if you don't go pro)

5:37 am

Angb

Yum, what do they stand for? I can figure out the word stats i.e. so many words of 5 letters. But what does C 6/15 mean?

5:37 am

herdarkmistress

is the x actually usefull today or is it till filler?

5:37 am

sprite

That there are 15 words starting from that C, and you found 6 so far.

5:37 am

sprite

It is used, more than once even, mistress.

5:38 am

AS

i found one word so far uses X

5:38 am

Angb

Oh, confused. Of course there are double ups of some letters!!! Now I see the pattern. Why I do word puzzles not number puzzles LOL

5:38 am

mattygroves

I've not found any that use the x...

5:39 am

herdarkmistress

Angb the meaning is say the word is cats: that is ca 4/4 which means it stats with ca is 4 letters long and equals 4 points, each letter in that is only worth one point

5:39 am

sprite

Hehe, Angb, to torture another side of your brain of course!

matty and As: a kind of obsolete communication and paint.

5:40 am

mattygroves

Got the communication ( I always miss that one ) - paint?

5:40 am

herdarkmistress

Angb if you look at the x tile its worth 6 points so if there was the word xray it would be xa 4/9 does that make sense angb

5:40 am

Atalante

or rubber ... paint or rubber stuff

5:41 am

sprite

La5/20: colorless or milky sap of certain plants, such as the poinsettia, that coagulates on exposure to air.
Also used for exiting (to some) dresses.

5:41 am

mattygroves

Got it - thanks Sprite and Atalante

5:41 am

herdarkmistress

brain torture is good, i love these longer puzzles, i can be far away and not be annoyed by the problem child

5:41 am

sprite

ExCiting

5:42 am

Atalante

poinsettia? didn't know that!

5:42 am

AS

thx sprite got that!

5:42 am

sprite

Now that was a freudian slip, wasn't it? LOL

5:42 am

AS

hehe

5:42 am

herdarkmistress

um how come in my bottom grid the x doesn't exsist

5:43 am

sprite

Because no words start with X today, mistress.

5:43 am

ExWren

6:23 am

Atalante

6:24 am

SueMagee

So I see Ata! Mind, it's these or painting the shed and the Ps seem better.

6:24 am

Atalante

much better!! mind you, 2 of the Ps would be useful in that painting ...

6:25 am

mattygroves

"Wax on, wax off. Side to side" (Just finished watching the eighties classic Karate Kid)

SueMagee

Not the way I do it Ata! We need "slap it on" and "wipe up the mess"!

6:26 am

mattygroves

What puzzle number is this?

6:27 am

mattygroves

Lickerty is a god.

6:27 am

mattygroves

Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Lickety did the list after all!

6:28 am

Atalante

sounds familiar Sue!

6:29 am

SueMagee

I need rain then I've an excuse not to do it!

6:30 am

chiley

WOW...thanks Lickety

6:31 am

lynxxx

maybe it was MRP taking over the reins - ? - if so - TY

6:33 am

Atalante

can I just say that when Lickety can't do the stats - and even when he can - BJ's stats work just as well, and always have done. So check them out as well

6:34 am

mattygroves

Any idea on the AE6/18 and the possibly ae7/32

6:34 am

lynxxx

putting fresh in matty

6:34 am

lynxxx

that would be fresh air

6:34 am

Atalante

the normal ones matty, put in air and past tense

6:35 am

mattygroves

Yes, Atlante - they do - I tend to copy and paste them into a spreadsheet, onto which I've put conditional formatting so that the cel changes colour when I fill in a word. The only problem is that you have to work out the alphabetically order yourself.

6:35 am

mattygroves

Thanks Atlante - of course - once again, I'm blind as a bat.

6:36 am

Atalante

I'm just saying for people who may not know they exist :):)

6:36 am

mattygroves

I know - I wanted to let Brandy know he's loved, though ;)

6:37 am

Atalante

so did I :) we don't say that enough!

6:37 am

mattygroves

WE LOVE YOU BRANDY!! :D

6:39 am

Hiya, everyone!!!!!

My God, there's a lot of -ed words today!!!!!!

6:44 am

Hiya mm!

6:46 am

lynxxx

welcome mm

6:49 am

herdarkmistress

hi

6:55 am

herdarkmistress

ok im back and if anythng was said that was the problem child

6:56 am

herdarkmistress

um i think the la 5/8 is missing

6:57 am

Atalante

you can't have an la5/8 HDM

6:57 am

herdarkmistress

yes you can

6:57 am

pam

how, hdm?

6:57 am

Atalante

how?

6:58 am

herdarkmistress

i am not la 5/ 10 but i am not early

6:58 am

Atalante

???!!!

6:59 am

lynxxx

Hi hdm - that is a LA 5.10

6:59 am

herdarkmistress

hey im late

6:59 am

pam

??????

7:00 am

mattygroves

Crikey - a whole load of de 8s...

7:00 am

herdarkmistress

late is there and its a 5/8 on my list sorry to give away an answer. brb have to get coke out of the key board

7:00 am

Atalante

you can't have a 5/8, sorry!

7:01 am

pam

Then your list is calibrating incorrectly, look at the tiles' values

7:01 am

mattygroves

Because that would make a five letter word worth four points before doubling.

7:02 am

lynxxx

al5.10 hint pls

7:02 am

Angb

change

7:03 am

lynxxx

fish for me - ! - ty ang

7:04 am

ampersand

al 5/10 - to change

7:04 am

Angb

Sorry, I'm new, no idea what I'm doing - except fazing my brain!

7:05 am

herdarkmistress

um late comes up as 4 letters and 8points is thisright

7:05 am

herdarkmistress

problem child has trashed the keyb oard

7:05 am

lynxxx

ang - that was a fine answer - 'fish' just means a was too stupid to see it

7:05 am

mattygroves

Stop putting words into the chat box.

7:05 am

pam

Nope, it is doubled

7:05 am

Atalante

4 letters and 4 points, hdm. each letter is 1 point if you look at the grid

7:06 am

herdarkmistress

i swear i have 4 letters and 8points forthat word

7:07 am

mattygroves

(here we go again)

7:07 am

Atalante

you shouldn't do

7:07 am

herdarkmistress

sorry now my typing is going to be worse as the space bar doesn't work properly

7:07 am

lynxxx

maybe refresh hdm or restart - something is screwy in downtown richmond

7:08 am

pam

I am sure you do, HDM, but look at the grid, the vlaue is one point for each of the tiles, and no doubling occurs for a four letter word.
You may have it, but that is not correct as far as the tiles go

7:08 am

herdarkmistress

opps not 4 sorry but i still cant find it on the list. No the problem child just spilt coke on the keyboard. He go told to go away with coke.

7:09 am

Atalante

dog walk time. be back la5/*10* ;)

7:09 am

herdarkmistress

ok that was my error. Um i still cant find the la 5/8 on the list though

7:09 am

pam

have a good walk!

7:09 am

mattygroves

THERE IS NO 5/8. It's impossible.

7:09 am

Atalante

thats because there ISN'T ONE!!!!

7:10 am

mattygroves

(Time to ignore, I think...)

7:10 am

pam

HDM, it is not possible to have a 5 letter word worth 8 point. The lowest possible value for a 5 lettter word is 10.
PERIOD. Do the math

7:10 am

pam

You are probably right, Matty, but I am in a mood and of a mind--my dog may drag me away, though

7:11 am

mattygroves

I used to keep Komondors. They were used to guard against WOLVES.

7:11 am

lynxxx

naughty matty

7:11 am

herdarkmistress

ok my table must be acting very screwy sorry, im going to refress. I noticed when i stare at the screen it is a 4 letter word that is coming up as a 5 word. No idea why. Theres no need to get snotty. I ment no offence and i was trying to work out what was going on

7:12 am

pam

Nice, I have a small (38 pounds) pit bull who is 12 and awfully cute when not terrier-like, LOL

7:12 am

mattygroves

Well, they were LOL. I've even written about them complete with pictures. They look like old fashioned rag mops. The are still used in hungry to kill and maim wolves, and in the States against coyotes (and wild dogs and the like). They're big!

7:13 am

pam

Sound like Pulis, Matty

7:13 am

herdarkmistress

Look Up Word la** 5 8 see im not fibbing.Pam what colour is the dog? We cant have pit bulls here as people have made them attack others so now they are banned

7:13 am

mattygroves

Similar - but bigger and always white. Pulis come in black and brown too, and have a higher set to the tail. They are used for herding.

7:14 am

pam

Ahhh, thanks Matty

7:14 am

mattygroves

(AND IT'S STILL BLARDY IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A 5/8 IN BABBLE)

7:14 am

pam

China is brindle. And don't get me started on how morons have made breed bans possible, Show me a bite and I'll show you an irresponsible (at best) owner

7:15 am

pam

And, HDM, I am sorry, but it just ain't possible in babble land to have a 5/8...

7:15 am

mattygroves

The brindle colouring looks so cool.

7:16 am

lynxxx

AR5.10 pls - the last one on licketys list (yeah licketys back!)

7:16 am

pam

it does, Matty, and it grays nicely. She has a r*** asymptomatic lymphoma so every day since early December feels special

7:16 am

mattygroves

I'm struggling with the last 4 DEs - the four after the word that rhymes with a villain from last year's Doctor Who (the series that is showing in the States on Sci-Fi network) the episode with Charles Dickens.

7:17 am

7:34 am

Uneaixoise

7:35 am

mattygroves

Huh Unea? The 5/10 is surely a person, not a verb? (I'm probably being a bit thick here)

7:36 am

amandacath

7:36 am

herdarkmistress

i really wish my points list would rectify itself

7:37 am

mattygroves

In many chat boxes/chat rooms etc there is a way you can choose not to see the chat from just certain people if you wish to - you can block them as it were. I wonder if Doc has ever thought of that here (like Epinions has the Block List, so you don't have to read reviews of people you find offensive or just thick).

7:38 am

herdarkmistress

sorry matty what are you on about?

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

ea6/21 compound word: what you listen with + what you make when you sit down

7:38 am

amandacath

7:39 am

mattygroves

Ahh - thanks Unea! What does it mean?

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

it's a weird spelling of the word for the part of a winter hat that covers each listening organ

7:40 am

herdarkmistress

Unea is that like the hats with the flaps?

7:40 am

mattygroves

I have visions of a very strangely shaped part of the body LOL (listening organs with legs - just imagine)

ARB

de 5/12 -- to prevent someone from doing something

7:57 am

emusing

i think i have that one, is that the last de5? or i am not seeing it?

7:57 am

ARB

Emusing, it is

7:57 am

emusing

7:58 am

herdarkmistress

i have refreshed twice and my list is still double pointing and i have no idea why

7:58 am

chiley

perhaps you should reboot and try again tomorrow

7:59 am

ARB

emusing - de 4/8 is found in the lower right corner using the 4 point letter. The de 5/18 adds a consonant to the end of the 4/8 word

7:59 am

mattygroves

Good idea chiley!

7:59 am

emusing

thanks arb!

8:00 am

Did you know, Unea, that Adam Baldwin is not related to the easy al4/5?

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

what? who's Adam Baldwin?

8:02 am

mattygroves

Have you seen Serenity?

8:02 am

mattygroves

Or Firefly?

8:02 am

ARB

Mistress, try at least rebooting your computer.

8:02 am

herdarkmistress

ta une i think i need a slap for not seeing that. I cant belive that there are many re 9 letter words

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

nope, sorry

8:03 am

herdarkmistress

arb i think the computor through a fit when child jumped on

8:03 am

ARB

Aah. Children can be a blessing (or not).

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

ah, matty, just googled him--saw him in several episodes of X-Files

8:04 am

mattygroves

Oh, was he? I didn't know. Mind you, it seems everyone's been in the X-Files at some point or another.

8:05 am

herdarkmistress

ARB i don't have nor do i want children its my friends nephew who also spilt coke on the key board stuffing up the space bar.

8:05 am

Anniebrook

ARB, are you okay where you are????

8:05 am

Uneaixoise

IMDB has him in 5-6 episodes

8:06 am

mattygroves

(that's a relief) - a bunch of actors who appear in Stargate SG-1 have been in the X-Files...and from Buffy, I think. X-Files used to be filmed in Vancouver (for the first five seasons, I think).

8:06 am

ARB

Annie, yes, we are in Tel Aviv. So, so far OK. The warnings here are for a radius of 70 kilometers frpm the Lebanese and Gaza borders

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

yep, for the atmospher

8:07 am

Uneaixoise

atmosphere

8:07 am

herdarkmistress

matty what do you think about the farscape main characters being in stargate and still being relatively simalar?

8:07 am

Anniebrook

ARB, glad to hear that you and family are safe.

8:08 am

ARB

Safe is a relative thing. My daughter and so-in-law are officers.

8:09 am

herdarkmistress

prayers for you arb.

8:09 am

ARB

son-in-law

8:10 am

Anniebrook

ARB, yes, it is a relative thing esp. over there. i will pray for you and your family and everyone else there.

8:10 am

ARB

Thank you all. Your prayers are appreciated.

8:12 am

emusing

8:13 am

ARB

el 5/12 -- when you vote you el*** someone.

8:13 am

herdarkmistress

can i get a clue please for ar 5 /10 and not the one with lots of vowels

8:13 am

mattygroves

That's me for a while, I think. I've 60 left - and am stuck on what are no doubt easy lo5/10 and lo6/18, so think I'll take a wee break.

8:13 am

emusing

i am just blind to that e point letter. thanks you!!

8:14 am

mattygroves

I hate it when I feel like I'm at the point where I'm asking for every word clued. It's embarassing for me and irritating for everyone else.

8:14 am

ARB

ar 5/10 -- a + re 4/4

8:15 am

ARB

The lo 6/18 is a brand name for cosmetics, I think

8:15 am

mattygroves

I guess it must also mean something to be in the grid lol

8:16 am

amandacath

because you're worth it, matty

8:16 am

mattygroves

Bis spaeter, guys! (how to avoid using a word in the grid)

8:16 am

ARB

Matty, it does mean something (about birds, I think). I was just trying to give a clever clue.

8:16 am

amandacath

tchuess, matty!

8:20 am

herdarkmistress

what the heck is your problem matty i asked for a clue and your being rude

8:21 am

herdarkmistress

fine if you don't want to answer but all i have asked you all night is your opinion on sg-1

8:21 am

mattygroves

Excellent clue, ARB (and what I wrote was in German -nothing rude)

8:22 am

Krista

Just got on. Is the grid easy? So far, every word I have has two or three "spin offs!" Gruss Gott.

8:23 am

herdarkmistress

oh and thank you matty for making a new person fell like an idiot just because they asked for a clue

8:23 am

shutterbug

Hello all. Looks like a nice one.

8:23 am

Krista

or maybe I meant Mein Gott!

8:24 am

shutterbug

hi kirsta!

8:24 am

Krista

Hi shutter..we're both back here early, aren't we?

8:24 am

mattygroves

Ja - genau - ich habe "Mein Gott" gedanken wenn ich das Grid gesehen habe (es tut mir leid - meine Deutsch ist jetzt furchbar - ich habe fast kein Deutsch gesprochen oder geschrieben seit 1988)

8:25 am

shutterbug

I only have 4 wods so far and one is a 7 letter one. (I just started thats why I only have 4 )

8:25 am

mattygroves

Ich habe auch 'Mein Gott' gedenken wenn ich das Schlecte Wolf gesehen habe. Schada.

8:26 am

amandacath

dafuer ist es gar nicht schlecht, Matty - but we shouldn't do much of this, or we might get in trouble!

8:26 am

shutterbug

yeah krista, I usually am not here this early. but, since it is saturday..........

8:26 am

mattygroves

OK - aber bis spaeter - the Times calls.

8:26 am

Krista

Uh...let's see..."Ich spreche nu ein bischen Deutsch..." But I understood what you wrote.

8:27 am

shutterbug

please stop, I dont know german!!!!

8:27 am

herdarkmistress

um so can i please have a clue for the ar 5/10 not the one with many vowels or am i going to be rudely told that its embarassing to ask and its irratating to others

8:27 am

Anniebrook

good morning everyone!!!

8:28 am

amandacath

vhange the last letter of the one with lots of vowels, hdm

8:28 am

shutterbug

8:28 am

shutterbug

everyone here asks for clues too!

8:28 am

emusing

herk, ar4/4 + cross letter

8:28 am

Molly23

8:28 am

herdarkmistress

8:28 am

emusing

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

hi mistress: if you are neweer you may want to check out the links at the pages bottom for angelsong's page, etc. sometimes i have to use a helper rather thanasking for clues...sometimes the chat just moves too quickly

8:29 am

herdarkmistress

ta temple ill keep that in mind

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

and sometimes i just don't feel - wel - chatyy.... but hi all - have been lurking and am going now - see you later!

8:30 am

shutterbug

YES!!!!!! licketys is still here!!!!!!!!

8:30 am

amandacath

and btw, hdm, I think matty was talking about being irritated at herself, not at others

8:30 am

no_zimmer

herdarkmistress, I think Matty was talking about herself, not you in her message

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

and why eouldn't he be?

8:31 am

shutterbug

because licketys list was supposed to be being stopped today :(

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

gosh my fingers are still asleep!

8:31 am

shutterbug

didnt you hear that?

8:31 am

herdarkmistress

oh ok, not taking that personaly i was wondering?

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

no - licketry was on yesterday and no mention - what happened?

8:31 am

emusing

likety's list stopped forever?

8:31 am

Molly23

why? why?

8:32 am

Krista

I didn't hear that one either! Why oh why?!

8:32 am

herdarkmistress

um ok amanda do you want to retype that clue as i think it was a bit garbled

8:32 am

shutterbug

thats what I heard last night. because he doesnt have time for it. but mrpresident and atalante are trying to take over.

8:32 am

herdarkmistress

likety is back i think he/she had a brake

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

8:33 am

emusing

Eva

9:13 am

Charm

re9 = you see your face re******* in the mirror.

9:13 am

sherb

spoke too soon... one 9 is an re9/84... the past tense of what a mirror does...

9:13 am

Charm

de9 is similar to that re9.

9:13 am

Haz1558

re9/84 - past tense of word meaning either to think upon, or bounce back light.

9:13 am

9:18 am

artlady

Hey 'nut, sherb!

9:18 am

artlady

Lovely flowers, Annie.

9:20 am

Anniebrook

thank you, artlady. I am so computer illiterate. I would love to change my icon to re***** the day's theme but I dont know how. I also would like to have the list near the grid but cant do that either. oh dear!

9:20 am

artlady

Yvo, I don't know. MrPrez said she might try to keep his clues going. Time is the issue, I guess.

9:21 am

artlady

Annie, I used to change my icon, but I'd rather spend the time babbling. I got too fussy with it. (the icon changing...well, the babbling, too!)

9:21 am

Anniebrook

anyone out there to give me the info how to get the list near the grid. thank you!!1

9:22 am

sherb

isn't your list next to your grid Annie?

9:23 am

Yvo

Thank you artlady,hope it stays,lost without it for the 4 letter words list but i use Brandyjacks it was there this morning early

9:23 am

Anniebrook

The list of words, yes. I wasnt clear, I meant Lickety's list, sherb

9:25 am

sherb

you can open Lickety's list in another window, then minimise it (click the button next to the X in the top right corner) then drag the edges of the box until it fits where you want it to on the screen... or you can just click toggle between the two screens using the bar at the bottom of the screen...

9:27 am

Anniebrook

sherb, going to try now, thank you

9:29 am

sherb

I just have several windows open at the same time - Babble, a2z and Lickety - and toggle between them...

9:30 am

artlady

same here.

9:32 am

Anniebrook

sherb, I wrote down your instructions and tried and failed. It is ME. going to save your instructions and will get someone to help me. Would you like to come and help, will make coffee or, if you prefer, tea. I'm embarrassed ....just cant do it.

9:32 am

sherb

finally done the R's... quick break...

9:32 am

Flask1

Sherb....I find thats the easiest way for me too....

9:33 am

evanonut

okay guys, i'm properly lighthoused up.

9:33 am

artlady

Lighthoused, 'nut?

9:34 am

Flask1

Don't be embarassed Annie....we all have to learn at some point....and we have all been where you are now!!!

9:35 am

Flask1

Its only ever easy when you know how!!!

9:35 am

Anniebrook

thanks, flask!

9:35 am

sherb

Annie - New York City ...you bet I'd like to come and help!! ...but in the meantime, try just opening Lickety in another window... (it took me ages to learn all this too!)... :)

9:35 am

artlady

Annie, what browser are you using?

9:35 am

Charm

la4/4????

9:36 am

artlady

Sherb, like your icon, too!

9:36 am

Anniebrook

sherb, what do you mean by "another window"

9:36 am

Anniebrook

artlady, what is a "browser"

9:36 am

Anniebrook

this is how dumb I am about all this

9:36 am

Charm

oh, never mind. just blind

9:36 am

artlady

How are you viewing everything online? Internet Explorer, Netscape, America Online...

9:37 am

Anniebrook

AOL

9:37 am

Anniebrook

oh, so AOL is my browser, thanks

9:37 am

artlady

Ok, so am I. Go up to "file" at the top and click on "new", then "New web window."

9:37 am

artlady

A new window with babble with appear on top of your current window.

9:37 am

sherb

Annie - like when you start Babble, that's called opening a window... just do it again, but open Lickety's list in the second one... then you should get a button at the bottom of the screen that says Babble and one that says Lickety's list and you can click on them to switch between the two windows...

9:38 am

artlady

The problem is, with AOL, you can't just open up a new window and tab between them like sherb says (sorry, sherb)

9:39 am

Flask1

I was thinking the same ART

9:39 am

artlady

Annie, down at the bottom you should have a little button that says "Window (2)" if you have 2 windows opoen.

9:39 am

sherb

er... sorry Annie... I'm an AOL ignoramous...

9:39 am

brandyjack

charm, thanks for being blind. made me see the word again and it helped me get the pr7.....

9:40 am

Anniebrook

okay, going to try now or is there another route I can take

9:40 am

artlady

Also, up at the top one of the words is "Window" and if you click on i t it will show you your open windows.

9:40 am

artlady

Totally confused yet??

9:40 am

artlady

Hey, BrandyJack! You've been quite the topic of conversation lately.

9:40 am

Anniebrook

okay

9:41 am

artlady

Annie, do you have 2 Babble windows yet?

9:41 am

sherb

hi brandyjack :) ...your list must have had a lot of hits today...

9:41 am

Charm

thanks, BJ - you gave me the pr!

9:41 am

sherb

now for that break... back in a bit...

9:42 am

Munner

BJ, I always use your list. Started with it and am a creature of habit. Thank you so much for doing it.

9:42 am

brandyjack

What did I do this time?

9:43 am

artlady

It's just with Lickity's list ending (most likely) people are panicking and others are reminding them that your list has been then for a long time.

9:43 am

artlady

So it's a GOOD talking!

9:43 am

artlady

Especially for those of us who rely on the lists after a while (sometimes a rather short while...)

9:45 am

Flask1

How do access BJ's list?

9:46 am

Anniebrook

sherb and artlady, will save instructions for a more savvy person than I am. thanks!

9:46 am

artlady

I know the long way. Does someone have the short url for Flask?

Atticus

My trial period expired...how many words are there today?

9:47 am

the game allows 'phat' but rejects utero.... Although the term most likely is used as 'in utero', it is still more common of use than those ridiculous hip-hop terms...

A babbler nmed Gwen (not sure of her exact name here, because there is more than one babbler nnamed Gwen) died on Wednesday, some 2 weeks after cardiac by[ass surgery. I know she used to post quite a bit easrly lst fall, but I don't know if she still did or not. I DO know that she babbled everyday, and loved the game.

11:23 am

leighprefect

That's horrible. How did you find out, swmbo?

artlady

I'm very sorry to hear that, She.

11:26 am

swmbo

She and I and a few other babblers all belong to another message board community. Cat2, Cadfan, Moozey to name a few. I have known them all cyberly for about 7 years. We all started babblimg at about the same time. As you can imagine, it has been a huge blow to our community.

11:26 am

leighprefect

Wow. =(

11:27 am

swmbo

Anyway, I wanted the babblers to know. I will also make an announcement at babbler's Anon

12:08 pm

12:08 pm

jbp

hi, movieman... i only have some 8s... no 9s

12:08 pm

Haz1558

12:10 pm

Millerhead

You can skip the numbers all together and just call me Judy

1:00 pm

Flask1

Hi Judy123

That was the easiest way to get my name

1:01 pm

artlady

I've found a lot of Kathy's my age. Not so many today, more Kate

1:01 pm

CiociaJudy

Yep. Judy is tough on the internet. Have to come up with some way to distinguish yourself.

1j2u3d4y

I always wanted to be Penny ... why, I have no idea

1:02 pm

CiociaJudy

Where do you live, Penny!

1:22 pm

1:23 pm

musicmom

very frustrating

1:23 pm

Some folks were not kind, I guess. Too codependant...

1:41 pm

pam

I missed the "fest' and am glad of it...

1:41 pm

pam

Hi, debb!

1:41 pm

featherbee

oh, that's too bad chic. i'm glad i missed those conversations then.

1:41 pm

hangthedj

hello everyone, just out of curiosity, what happened to lickety's list?

1:42 pm

debbinla

not kind? that is sad.....

1:42 pm

pam

At the risk of being whatever, I do prefer the hint clues to the ex + first and last vowel clues

1:42 pm

artlady

Well, also consider that Dr. G doesn't make a living on this...not really even enuf to cover his expenses. There's a lot of great people here!

1:42 pm

pam

I don't want the word spelled out

1:42 pm

pam

OK< enough from me....

1:42 pm

musicmom

Man I am sooooo out of the loop. I didn't know anything was going on. I am never around at the flip. I started by using BJs list and just grab what ever is available.

1:42 pm

featherbee

lickety's been extremely busy lately, and is having trouble keeping up

1:43 pm

hangthedj

oh, i see. are people are mad at him for it or something?

1:43 pm

musicmom

I would play even if there weren't lists though I do use them as a time management tool

1:44 pm

pam

I don't use them--too much trouble going back and forth...I am inherently lazy. But, I used to look at BrandyJack's count before the revised grid...

1:44 pm

chic

Thanks for your kind words! I told our 'favorite' couple not to let a few rude folk ruin it for them.

1:44 pm

shutterbug

chic, I just read your post. I totally agree with you. I was sad to hear about lickety, but totally understand. like I said yesterday, was that babble was actually much more fun before lists and stats. you got as many words as you could, and then sometimes people posted clues in the chat. you did what you could, and it was fun to see who could get the most words. the goal wasnt to get every possible word, it was to get as many as YOU could find.

1:44 pm

featherbee

thank you chic! i would hate for them to feel that the ones being not so kind represented everyone.

1:45 pm

chic

exactly, Shutterbug!

1:45 pm

shutterbug

I hope that nobody thought I was being unkind.

1:45 pm

debbinla

yes thanks chic - we're very grateful for all they've done

1:45 pm

shutterbug

I wish the game had stayed the way it was when it first started. That is, if anybody else has been here that long.

1:46 pm

shutterbug

I do use and like the lists, but it was better without stats and lists.

1:46 pm

Atalante

I agree shutterbug

1:46 pm

chic

So please respond with your kind words to let them know how much there presence is appreciated.

1:46 pm

musicmom

I can see that shutterbug but many of us started playing recently and the appeal of fireworks is just too great! Many of us don't know a babble pre- bjs list

1:46 pm

debbinla

how long has this game existed shutter?

1:46 pm

artlady

Things change and evolve, shutter. Sometimes not the way we prefer, but people can always play without the log or hints or anything if they want. I enjoy the community.
and the help!

1:47 pm

pam

I like the changes, too, though. I just don't like the spelled out clues... But remember, if I finish, it is luck, I don't play to finish...

1:47 pm

shutterbug

I dont know

1:47 pm

musicmom

I also think for anal type a personalities the personal compulsion to finish every grid would be less if there weren't stats

1:47 pm

shutterbug

but a long time.

1:47 pm

musicmom

That is very true artlady

1:47 pm

chic

Over 3 years I think...

1:47 pm

FMitch

I looke dit up this morning debbina - Sept 2003 - you can see under archives.

1:48 pm

musicmom

No one has to use lists, chat, clue or finish. We all have options at our finger tips

1:48 pm

debbinla

aah -- so many games i've missed!! :-) thanks fmitch

1:48 pm

musicmom

I know debbinia - that just makes me sad

1:49 pm

pam

I can't hide the chat completely, just my posting, maybe its's a mac thing...And I like the community...

1:49 pm

shutterbug

then I've probably been here since it first came out.

1:49 pm

shutterbug

how can I hide the chat? I woudl like to but cant figure out how..

1:49 pm

artlady

Ok, browser spasm. It started September 30, 2003.

1:49 pm

musicmom

no pam. You can hid it. If you click on my friends or who's online you can't see the chatterbox

1:49 pm

pam

I just don't like the spoon feeding and that is a subjective thing, and I tend to avert my eyes when those clues appear....

1:50 pm

artlady

Shutter, you should upgrade! (Ok, I always tell people that becuz I know Jamie!)

1:50 pm

musicmom

I like the community too. I'm weird I even sit and read the log at times when I'm not playing or posting.

1:50 pm

Euterpe

I like trying to see how many words I can find on the grid, without the aid of the lists. But, I do enjoy using the lists as a last resort, or when I get stuck. I've used them a few times to finish the grid, and it's not as much fun, really. But, that's just my opinion, and I truly do appreciate the lists and the work behind them. If people want to use the lists all the time, more power to them, but they also need to try to support this game if they can.

1:50 pm

FMitch

Babble the game is not the same without the chat running with it - I think that is what makes it stand out from losts of others

1:50 pm

pam

mm---aaahhhhhh, I am not clever enough to figure that out, LOL

1:50 pm

ronnielee

click over to who's online link to avoid chatterbox pam

1:50 pm

pam

NICE icon, euterpe!

1:51 pm

Euterpe

I love the chat. The people here are so nice. -- Thanks Pam! Same to you!

1:51 pm

bonkler

people get different things out of games. some find they can enhance their status (perceived or other wise), some can play for the quality of the play regardless of outcome. i rarely use a list. i also rarely finish and if i do it is a rersult of kindness in the list and begging on my part. antone upset with mr.p and lickety is an ungrateful snot.

1:51 pm

artlady

Hear, hear, Euterpe.

1:51 pm

pam

hear, hear, Bonk!

1:51 pm

debbinla

i couldn't agree more bonkler

1:51 pm

musicmom

AMEN Bonkler

1:51 pm

shutterbug

I would love to upgrade. when i ask my mom she just laughs though.

1:52 pm

Euterpe

Exactly, bonkler!

1:52 pm

musicmom

tell her you want it for Christmas shutterbug

1:52 pm

pam

Yeah, well, shutter you might be the only person who needs to ask mum who plays as a member of the communtiy!

1:52 pm

artlady

Tell your mom it's only $10 and he's a really nice guy! (I can vouch for the entire family!)

1:52 pm

shutterbug

But I dont wan that for my christmas present. she already offered that.

1:52 pm

chic

Too cool, Bonkler!

1:53 pm

shutterbug

no, tis $14.95 now.

1:53 pm

musicmom

Now now shutter - how badly do you want it?

1:53 pm

artlady

Oops, sorry. I'm in a time warp...

1:53 pm

debbinla

for a stocking stuffer shutter?

1:53 pm

pam

CLoser to $15.00 artlady!

1:53 pm

musicmom

Sorry the mom in me is coming out

1:53 pm

shutterbug

not that badly.

1:53 pm

Euterpe

What are the benefits of going pro anymore? When I signed up, it was that you got the tile stats and such. Is that still the same?

1:53 pm

artlady

Well, I upgraded right away and it was only 9.95 then.

1:53 pm

FMitch

artlady - if we pay you can we see a real picture of Jamie?

1:53 pm

shutterbug

maybe, debbinlka, but the computer cant fit in my stocking. lol.

1:54 pm

musicmom

Okay how about if you offer to additional chores for it. Work it off?

1:54 pm

artlady

Yep. plus the cool icon.

1:54 pm

pam

Mainly, I went pro to support the game

1:54 pm

Atalante

does he really look like zz top?

1:54 pm

musicmom

a picture of the computer can

1:54 pm

ronnielee

at the end of lickety's list is does say $9.95

1:54 pm

artlady

I probably have one from when he was in grade school...haven't taken any since! Maybe I'll ask his mom!

1:54 pm

musicmom

me too pam

1:54 pm

artlady

same here, pam

1:54 pm

debbinla

same with me pam - i enjoy it so much - i figured i'd support those who made it

1:54 pm

musicmom

I figure it is cheap entertainment for the amount of time I spend here.

1:54 pm

featherbee

off for a nap...bbl

1:54 pm

shutterbug

nah, I already do the chores I need to do. If my mom needs me to do another chore, she just tells me to go do it.

1:54 pm

pam

bye, feather

1:54 pm

musicmom

bye featherbee

1:54 pm

artlady

yeah, I also did it for IronSudoku!

1:55 pm

artlady

Bye, feather.

1:55 pm

musicmom

I don't play that one. Prefer sudoku on paper

1:55 pm

Euterpe

Bye feather. Have a nice nap.

1:55 pm

artlady

I like Samurai Sudoku...but paper is better!

1:55 pm

artlady

I am never going to finish ... caffeine overload and I get chatty!

1:55 pm

musicmom

BUT negotiation is a good life skill shutterbug. Write a proposal on what you will do in order to get the 15.00

1:56 pm

FMitch

Oh artlady - that would be sooooo good if you could dig out a pic!

1:56 pm

Euterpe

I've never played a game of Sudoku in my life. I feel like I'm the only person on earth who hasn't. :P

1:56 pm

pam

lol, mm

1:56 pm

pam

i am in that club, euterpe

1:56 pm

shutterbug

my mom would laugh. and dont worry I negotiate all the time at yard sales.

1:56 pm

artlady

Euterpe, I resisted for a LOOONNNGGG time. Jamie's mom got me hooked!

1:56 pm

musicmom

My 12 year old has figured this out. She doesn't get paid to do chores and if I want her to do something she has to BUT I am open to proposals to get more babble time

1:56 pm

Euterpe

Well, words and letters are more my thing. Numbers make me cringe.

1:57 pm

artlady

FMitch..if I have one it's at school and I can't get in until mid August becuz of construction. sorry!

1:57 pm

shutterbug

I dont get paid to do chores. we are a family, we work together to get things done.

1:57 pm

FMitch

Darn oh wel, I will wait patiently artlady

1:58 pm

bonkler

numbers are work, words are joy --> soduko free

1:58 pm

artlady

Sounds good, shutter.

1:58 pm

musicmom

Absolutely shutter that is the rule here to, but I also don't just spend money on the girls because they want something. They have to either earn it or take it for a Christmas or birthday present

1:58 pm

Euterpe

Haha. Good one bonkler. :)

1:59 pm

artlady

A mom after my own heart, music!

1:59 pm

artlady

My students have so many material things that they are spoiled.

1:59 pm

shutterbug

well, my mom doesnt either. so, I'll get it when I get money or my mom agrees to buy it. she plays to you know.

1:59 pm

artlady

Good for her, shutter. Did she register? (giggle, giggle)

2:00 pm

musicmom

I know artlady. I run into it a lot with college students we host. I can't believe how many of them have cars, computers, ipods etc and yet don't know how to do their own laundry

2:00 pm

shutterbug

I get money for selling stuff on ebay. when I get the money that I want to spend on babble I will. no, my mom is shutterbug. this is her account. we work together, remember? lol.

2:00 pm

musicmom

Shutter - are you allowed to tell us how old you are? I'm not trying to be voyeuristic so if she doesn't want you telling us that is fine.

2:01 pm

shutterbug

I am 13.

2:01 pm

artlady

Good for you, shutter! I tried to get my kids (and mom) interested, but it's not their thing.

2:01 pm

musicmom

Ahhhh a great age. I'm impressed that you have been babbling for as long as you have then.

2:02 pm

debbinla

i am too shutter - thats awesome

2:02 pm

artlady

How do we tell one shutter from the other? Confusing!

2:02 pm

shutterbug

Debb, I thought you were an adult.

2:02 pm

artlady

(struggles to find the missing re7...)

2:02 pm

musicmom

my mom is interested but her computer connection is dial up and way slow. My sister and brother in law play. My 12 year old helps me sometimes.

2:02 pm

shutterbug

you cant artlady. my mom almost never posts anyway.

2:03 pm

musicmom

okay I have got to go back to the grid now. <virtually zipping my lips>

2:03 pm

shutterbug

we used to play, then we stopped for a while because dial up was too slow. now we have cable, and started playing again.

2:03 pm

musicmom

One more thing shutter- thank you for using proper grammar and spelling words out. I get tired of text speak that so many teen suse.

2:03 pm

Euterpe

Wow. I'm on dial-up and I find the game just fine.

2:04 pm

musicmom

I have told Sarah if she ever chats while here she has to do that!

2:04 pm

shutterbug

me too, I dont like the way some of the otherestalk either.

2:04 pm

artlady

My mother just got DSL, so maybe she'll start playing. She's out in the country and her connection is really slow.

2:04 pm

musicmom

You are lucky euterpe

2:04 pm

pam

Shutter, you do your parents proud!

2:04 pm

shutterbug

why?

2:05 pm

artlady

pass the fish. I just found that re and it was so obvious!

2:05 pm

Euterpe

Well, I don't know if I'd consider myself lucky. I just think I'm used to things being slow. :P

2:06 pm

pam

Because you are well spoken, polite, and self-ssured

2:06 pm

pam

assured

2:06 pm

pam

and, on that note, I must go to the store!

2:06 pm

pam

See you all tonight

2:06 pm

artlady

Accept the compliment, shutter. You are a member of a cool community here!

2:06 pm

shutterbug

bye.

2:06 pm

artlady

Ciao, Pam.

2:06 pm

Euterpe

Bye pam.

2:07 pm

shutterbug

well, I think its because I am homeschooled.

2:07 pm

shutterbug

gtg now, bbl.

2:07 pm

FMitch

shutter - because you play the game the way it is meant to and are polite and happy with the log.

2:07 pm

2:21 pm

Atalante

believe me, you are not!

2:22 pm

goob

whew! how can i ensure that i don't ever become one?

2:22 pm

Atalante

Already sounds like you're on the right road, goob.

bye MVA

2:27 pm

goob

babble is bad for my sleeping patterns... i'm always trying to find excuses to stay up until 1 a.m. [my flip time]... just to see the number of words, of course, and then 'just when i think i'm out, they pull me back in"... the words, of course!

2:27 pm

kalea

lol.....join the club, goob

2:28 pm

BettyAnne

O.K. I'll admit I'm a dummy. What is the abbr for iron? Sorry & thanks.

2:28 pm

artlady

Well, that does it. I've spent far too much time on this today, but it was lovely. Done and off to do my own chores!

2:28 pm

debbinla

ha ha goob - woulds like me too - although he flip is at 10pm for me

2:28 pm

2:29 pm

FMitch

LOL goob. I felreally lucky cos flip time is 6am here in the UK which is great - time to look at the grid and still get on with the day!

2:29 pm

BettyAnne

Thanks kalea and for the kind words. I enjoy this game so much but I'm not very good at it. Thanks again.

2:30 pm

hetty

Good afternoon all. Just finished my nap and looking now at 164 big ones to tackle.Thanks for the chat about dear lickety; good toknow the support is there for him.

2:30 pm

debbinla

betty - it's just practice - keep playing!

2:30 pm

goob

but if it were 6 am, i'd be late for my morning stuff every day! I'd be obsessed with the words i had missed... i'd have to print the grid and carry it with me throughout the day, sneak peaks at inopportune moments, and generally be useless to all!

2:30 pm

debbinla

hi hetty -- how are you feeling today???

2:30 pm

BettyAnne

You have all been so kind. I will certainly keep trying.

2:31 pm

kalea

lol Betty.........so many of the words are not words any one would actually know, so no shame in needing clues

2:31 pm

debbinla

lol goob!

2:31 pm

hetty

Bit woozy, deb, but on the mend I'm sure; thanks for asking

2:31 pm

kalea

hello hetty........feeling better, i hope?

2:31 pm

FMitch

LOL goob

2:31 pm

Euterpe

Lol, goob. That sounds like me. I was up early this morning playing and I went to go back to sleep for a bit and my mind was still going over the grid. I was coming up with words in my bed. :P

2:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

that pe 8 takes the cake!

2:32 pm

Then of course I came back, and only one of them actually existed. Eesh. Sleep-babbling. Need help! :P

Right...back to the game (though I'm grinning like a cheshire cat...must remember to drink less before visiting babble) - I have now returned to babble having got the lo6/18 thanks to clues here (because I'm worth it) and now looking for the lo5/10. WARNING - I'm a little squiffy.

4:42 pm

Atalante

he gives wolves a bad name .... such lovely animals!

4:42 pm

nrkii

matty, after you left earlier, people explained to the person in question that you were giving YOURSELF a hard time, not her

4:42 pm

mattygroves

I know. I checked. I laughed. Thanks!

4:43 pm

mattygroves

Hello - is my connection still working?

4:43 pm

nrkii

it's sometimes hard in the chat because it goes so fast -- I got in trouble the same way one night -- made one person think I had called her ignorant, when I was just using a quote with the word ignorant in it for a clue ... it was a bad moment

4:43 pm

Atalante

yup!

4:43 pm

mattygroves

I'm EVIL I tell you :D

4:44 pm

mattygroves

Right. A word. Any word. OL6/18 for example. I need to recover from my Pimms and Thai meal. Anyone care to clue?

4:44 pm

nrkii

and I felt horrible about it, even though technically I had done nothing wrong, but just because I had made this person feel so bad

4:45 pm

nrkii

ol 6/18 = ol + vowel + consumed food

4:48 pm

mattygroves

That'll be the one, Nrkii. Thanks.

4:49 pm

mattygroves

Nrikii., which person was it? That matters, actually.

4:50 pm

nrkii

which person did I make upset?

4:50 pm

debbinla

it was silly - it was over a snl line - you apologized - we all explainedl....

4:51 pm

mattygroves

Yep. There's one person here (who masquerades under different names) who may not be all that she seems...

4:51 pm

nrkii

yeah debb, but I still felt bad about it -- even when it's silly, you still don't want to make someone feel like they've just been assaulted, you know?

4:52 pm

nrkii

matty, I don't think it's the same person -- the one I'm speaking of is in UK, but the one you mean I think is in US

4:52 pm

debbinla

of course - but i think a bunch of us explained and she was ok

4:52 pm

mattygroves

The one I mean claims to be in Australia...

4:52 pm

Flask1

lol...Matty......and I thought I was the only one who thought like you!!!

4:52 pm

chic

who is the masquerader?

4:52 pm

Atalante

to be blunt, she means ShadowWolf ;)

4:53 pm

mattygroves

I wasn't there, though, so if I'm speaking out of my backside, I do apologise (really - I'm only evil to a person who deserves it).

4:53 pm

Yah - that'll be the one, ATlante and Flask...

4:56 pm

are you relo'd to UK or did they relo to US?

4:56 pm

Hi again, all!

5:08 pm

Crikey - that's a hard question. The Dragonriders of Pern dragons are cool, though the later books in particular get irritating.

5:08 pm

Smaug (is that his name) from Lord of the Rings is deliciously evil...

5:09 pm

5:10 pm

Where are you Pab?

5:10 pm

my favourite dragons are Melanie Rawn's dragons from her Sunrunner books. They are just wonderful

5:10 pm

mattygroves

And where's your name from?

5:10 pm

mattygroves

Oooh - I've not read teh Sunrunner books and I'm unfamiliar with them - worth a read then?

5:11 pm

pabtrek

the sunrunners are really good, a little thick, as in pages, but worth it

5:11 pm

Atalante

definitely. I just love and adore them

5:12 pm

mattygroves

I've read lots of thick books - have you read Pullman's "His Dark Materials"?

5:12 pm

5:12 pm

wasn't the Hydra a dragon-like animal? (butting in, she asks...)

5:13 pm

pabtrek

i thinks so pam with multiple head

5:13 pm

pabtrek

heads that is

5:13 pm

pam

yep

5:13 pm

mattygroves

Oooh - you must - they are super (and you'd have to be a smart kid - as they're meant to be children's books - to get it).) Yah - the hydra was kind of a giant lizard with load of heads, and each head would spawn two more when cut off.

5:14 pm

mattygroves

(Kind of like the twilight lupine, thinking about it)

5:14 pm

Atalante

HDM is *wonderful*. really really wonderful! have you read the Abhorsen books, matty?

5:14 pm

twilight lupine?

6:06 pm

Haz1558

The last four pa6 all start with the pa4/4. The first one ends in Mr Gore's name, the second one is a past tense ending and the third pa6/21 rhymes with what people during the war were encouraged to roll out.

6:07 pm

saphyre

9 to go

6:07 pm

Haz1558

And hetty, I've just realised that I may have led you up the garden path, mainly because I didn't scroll down far enough in the list. Come back to me if I've clued wrongly.

6:07 pm

puptone

Go Saphyre!

6:07 pm

Dorens

go saphyre gp

6:08 pm

6:11 pm

hetty

So thank haz, I pa* you gratefully.

6:11 pm

helenkeller

hiya ex wren!

6:11 pm

Haz1558

debbinla - it relates to a world war 2 song debbinla. A better clue for a younger generation would be to say it rhymes with what a cooper makes.

6:11 pm

stidmama

go debb go! Go sit on a block of ice!

6:11 pm

musicmom

te6/24 right before the te5/20?

6:12 pm

Dorens

no, i have no way of getting some of these words....but i'll give it a go.....are we allowed to ask for clues if we're racing?

6:12 pm

helenkeller

haz -ROFL, that's right - cause this younger generation knows all about coopers!!! LOL

6:12 pm

helenkeller

dorens - we sure are! :)

6:13 pm

Haz1558

te6/24 - to the previous te4/4 add French you (familiar form)

6:13 pm

hetty

Now I'm left with just one to find--not what e rolled out, nor what Mr Gore of blessed memory lends his name to, but the other one beginning with Henry V111's Catherine's name

6:13 pm

Dorens

that

6:13 pm

debbinla

hehe helen - and trust me i'm not much younger than ou - just denser

6:13 pm

Dorens

6:13 pm

musicmom

6:14 pm

As an aside, I cannot figure out the icon thing. When I chose an image and attempted to enter it in profule, I received a message that it was the wrong format

11:44 pm

Minveryork

Well then I will keep asking!I still need pe 8/65 please!

11:44 pm

FranMag

pdb, they have to be jpeg or gif. bitmap images won't work, that may be why

11:44 pm

pdb

So, not only have I not finished the list (22 to go), I can't even get an icon. Sad.

11:44 pm

pdb

11:45 pm

Minveryork

pdb, if you go to google images, and you find something you like, just right click on it and save it as a jpeg file to your computer -- then you can use that here

11:45 pm

FranMag

pdb, if you can save an image to your hard drive and open it with paint (if you have windows) you can save it as jpeg and then upload it.

11:45 pm

pdb

oh no, I am just losing it
