12:27 am

seano216k

mymuseisme

12:29 am

sunnyvale

what do the tile stats mean?

12:30 am

LeslieAnn

how many words start with that letter, sunny

12:30 am

LeslieAnn

so if you have 4/9, you have 4 out of the 9 words that start with that lettre

12:30 am

LeslieAnn

or letter, if you're not british. which i'm not.

12:31 am

sunnyvale

that's what I thought... but I didn't see the numbers change when I got one, maybe not looking

12:31 am

sunnyvale

thx

12:31 am

JeeWhiz

just made up/monkey-ed one of the p words...

12:31 am

nrkii

just found the mysterious D guy!

12:31 am

LeslieAnn

there may be more than one of that letter in the grid, sunny, it may be starting from a different one

12:31 am

mymuseisme

does the icon have to do with today's grid or any previous grid?

12:32 am

LeslieAnn

plural it, jee!

12:32 am

helenkeller

lol mymus - i was thinking it would be in this grid here

12:32 am

mymuseisme

12:32 am

JeeWhiz

Yes, I am really learning now. I am handicapped and I have so much trouble learning to accept that and take things easier. But it is very rewarding, once you get the hang of it. ;)

1:40 am

helenkeller

sprite - i hope you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by handicapped?

1:41 am

I have a damaged pelvis, so I can't walk or sit or stand very well.

No, it happened when giving birth to my daughter. Which is 8 years ago now, so it is about time I am learning to live at a slower pace, I guess ;)

1:43 am

helenkeller

that sounds like it must be extremely limiting & i'm guessing very tiring too - nothing surgical can be done?

1:45 am

sprite

They can immobilize the whole thing and I would end up in a wheelchair permanently, with possibly (not certainly) a little less pain. So that is not an option for me, lol. Best I can do is to learn to live with it. And seeing how stubborn I am, that takes me lots of time. I am rather proud of myself I am finally getting the picture.

1:46 am

debbinla

well good for you sprite - i hope the pain is manageable

1:46 am

MADDIE!

Any clues for the ur4/6 please?

1:46 am

helenkeller

well more power to you sprite! - a good attitude is so important to living a good life - for everyone, but much harder to maintain through pain -

1:47 am

Rhymes with guys who cannot stay away from their computers, maddie.

Pain is a teacher, for sure. Not a nice one, lol, but a wise one. Thanks for all the kind words and sentiments! :)
I am off to do the shopping, with my little girl. Wouldn't trade her for the world.

8:33 am

FMitch

No I didn't, in a film too?

8:34 am

FMitch

Mine is the te6/21 madagascan hedgehog

8:34 am

mattygroves

Frances is a girl's name, Francis is the boys'. Mine should be obvious, (icon that is)

8:34 am

featherbee

Diana Rigg appeared in the film 'Mrs *****goes to Paris' - she played a French lady called Mme Colbert.

8:38 am

featherbee

i'm not having good luck with the grid today

8:39 am

CJ25

pa4/6 and plural its what you write notes on plus a vowel then plural

8:39 am

Vicuna

mattygroves, I see we are illustrating the same word.

8:39 am

ch1212

Ah, that explains it, Haz! Thanks for clearing that up. I've read all the books by Paul Gallico -- that series is a favorite

Haz1558

No trivia too trivial!

8:40 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

8:40 am

harpjane

good morning, time to change my icon!

8:41 am

ch1212

hi harp! Didn't see you icon yesterday -- love it!

8:41 am

Haz1558

German for your would start de.

8:41 am

phandmd

ok swap the vowels

8:41 am

featherbee

lol evanadine! i knew what your icon was right away!

8:41 am

mattygroves

So we are, Vic!

8:42 am

phandmd

cj25 that was for you; apparently you need to switch the vowels for the german your di5

8:42 am

EvaNadine

its subtle, i know. ;)

8:42 am

CJ25

thanks :D

8:43 am

phandmd

yw; I need the ra 6 pls

8:43 am

mattygroves

I got your profile, Evan!

8:44 am

EvaNadine

and if you have even more of my icon, you have the N7 ;)

8:44 am

katusha

I am still stuck on the first di5,12,.... is there another hint besides a girls name????

8:45 am

phandmd

german your; swap the vowels

8:46 am

Haz1558

di5/12 - first three letters 'to expire' then first two letters of what fishermen use to catch fish

8:46 am

Vicuna

Evanadine, I had to refresh about 5 times to make you stop being a butterfly, but now... thanks for the n7! :)

8:46 am

harpjane

ok, I'm all dressed up and ready to play now!

8:46 am

featherbee

eww, i hope nobody chooses the su5/12 as their icon

8:46 am

featherbee

lol harp!

8:47 am

EvaNadine

im starting to wish we had saved this theme for a day with more words!
cause ive only found 22 as it is...heh

8:48 am

Haz1558

Or - di5/12 - The late Princess of Wales' name, replace the a's in her name with the second vowel.

8:48 am

CJ25

haz - good clue.

8:48 am

Vicuna

(* fails to find anything eww-worthy about "more certain" and starts looking feverishly for another su5/12*)

8:48 am

Haz1558

I hope it helps katusha!

8:48 am

katusha

finially...... thanks everyone!

8:49 am

featherbee

hehe vic. it's similar to something with a fringe on top, but means something totally different

8:49 am

CJ25

24 to go

8:49 am

ypsigirl

same thought here Vic

8:49 am

FMitch

and it has a pl too

8:50 am

featherbee

oh, thanks FM, i forgot to plural it!

8:50 am

ch1212

gross! Just found that su

8:50 am

phandmd

i need ra 6/21 and re 6/18 pls

8:50 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i def. dont wanna see that!

8:51 am

FMitch

re6 is the te6/18 backwards

8:51 am

EvaNadine

the EC 4-5 combo would be really easy to do for an icon...but it would be pretty dull!

8:51 am

phandmd

need that one too

8:51 am

featherbee

ooo, thanks eva

8:52 am

Haz1558

re6/18 is an ingredient of cheese. It ends in the afore-mentioned fishing equipment. ra6/21 adds a word of certainty to make a close shave

8:52 am

Vicuna

Thanks, feather. Probably not pretty!

11:01 am

katusha

11:01 am

Angelsong

I'm puzzled. my ranking under 'who's hot" was 1029 for a long time, then it was 1,030 for a couple of days, then back down to 1,029. yesterday it was 1,030 and today it's back to 1,029. it doesn't make sense to me.

11:02 am

hetty

katusha, look at my icon

11:02 am

EvaNadine

actually, thats not even the name i was given when i was born...my parents named me Samantha Jane when i was adopted...
my birth name was Cheryl Rose -- whatcha got on that one??

11:02 am

Dorens

angel...mine has been 1921 for over a week, but I've finished every day... i have seen people who were below me go up above me and yet i have consistently completed. no sense whatsoever

11:02 am

featherbee

hi everyone! fiz, can i play the name game too?

11:02 am

Angelsong

11:03 am

Dorens

god gave lots of gifts...theodore is gift of god as well..doren (my name) just means gift...

11:03 am

artdr

Doesn't your score have something to do with how quickly you complete the puzzle?

11:03 am

stidmama

yeah -- it was the first word I saw, thought it was kinda funny...

11:03 am

TheFiz

cheryl= beloved, rose = self explanatory. that's sweet.

11:03 am

hetty

Hey Stid, Love you

11:03 am

Jaime

My husband's name is gift of God too, Matthew

11:04 am

stidmama

11:04 am

Dorens

11:04 am

cnufrog

11:04 am

Buttonman

11:06 am

JeeWhiz

hetty is that clue greek for chinese?

11:06 am

TheFiz

joyce = rejoicing, elaine= light. that's lovely.

11:06 am

caitlyn

My name is so awful i dont think it can be a gift from God!!

11:06 am

artdr

There is a list in the archives of the scores players received for each day - in order of when they completed the puzzle so I think speed is a factor somehow.

11:06 am

JeeWhiz

bugsy, your clue was helpful...thanks...thanks hetty too even though I wasn't up to chinese today

11:06 am

hetty

Jeewhiz--simply add the end of the operatic song to your ce

11:07 am

TheFiz

caitlyn, is it in fact caitlyn? form of Catharine, meaning pure...

11:07 am

Vicuna

artdr, we are in all different time zones, so I don't think the order of completetion necessarily has anything to do with the time it took to complete

11:07 am

hetty

I'm still seeking for the SECOND re4 please

11:07 am

caitlyn

Thats not my name!!

11:07 am

EvaNadine

i bet i know a name you cant find a meaning for...heh

11:08 am

Bugzy

hetty - do you have the re4/5 - plural of sleep stage?

11:08 am

TheFiz

ok, well if you would care to share your awful name i'd be happy to try to dig up a meaning. and evanadine, try me... the internet is vast and wise...

JeeWhiz

11:10 am

I just read the rankings explanations Vicuna and you're right. It does seem odd that the rankings are so confusing though even reading the explanations.

11:10 am

Vicuna

no, second on is re4/5 - pl of sleep stage

11:10 am

Dorens

hetty you do have what we pay at ann apartment?

11:10 am

11:10 am

featherbee

caitlyn, if it's any consolation, when i hear rita, the first thing i think of is the beautiful rita hayworth

11:10 am

hetty

11:10 am

featherbee

11:10 am

Jaime

my sister in law's first name means light and her middle name means dark. she is conflicted :)

11:10 am

11:11 am

Dorens

you have to tear?

11:11 am

TheFiz

rita, version of margarita/margaret, meaning pearl. doris is a woman of the sea. not too bad, caitlyn. were you named for someone?

11:11 am

harpjane

The rankings add an extra point for each grid that you complete in the last 30 days. So a score of 1030 means you have completed every grid perfectly. 1029 would mean that you did 29 perfectly and did not attempt one, etc..... Or that you did 30 but missed a few words on one.....

11:11 am

EvaNadine

hetty -- did you try the plural of the level of sleep?

11:11 am

emusing

11:13 am

hetty

the sleep one?

11:13 am

JeeWhiz

I think it means that you are in trouble in babbleland

11:13 am

artdr

Harpjane I think the confusion is for those who complete every puzzle many days in a row and the ranking for them hardly changes.

11:13 am

hetty

Dorens

11:23 am

JeeWhiz

Daisy Eric

Karen, to figure out scores, it will help to read Help, above. Clues.... well, we are very creative here! lol

Daisy Eric

oh yes, Angelsong's resource is probaby the best to read first. : )

1:23 pm

KarenW

thanks!

Haz1558

6:03 pm

renfield

6:03 pm

Cathyar

*everyone in babbleland follows anj's suit and also hides car keys from ren*

Oh & such a good story to tell - you should write it down so you never forget! We always wanted my feisty grandma to write all hers but-she never did. It's a good archive story Ren.

6:06 pm

BettyAnne

I meant re6/18 Oops

6:06 pm

FranMag

bettyanne, add a vowel to the du4/6 that has double consonants on the end.

6:07 pm

FranMag

re6/18 sounds like a smaller version of our babble friend ren.

6:07 pm

snowyowl

re6/18 used in cheese making

6:08 pm

FranMag

si6/18 is the si**** madre mountains (at least i think they're mountains)

6:31 pm

6:31 pm

Krista

hey my butt-kickin' Scrabble buddy - how r u today?

6:31 pm

Cathyar

hi krista

6:32 pm

FranMag

fine krista! but baby has a low fever

6:32 pm

chj

Thank god..what an ordeal...fireworks here!!!!

6:32 pm

FranMag

yay chj!!!

6:32 pm

Cathyar

yes...ri 5 anj

6:32 pm

chj

first the power went out here in downtown stamford yesterday at about noon

6:33 pm

Krista

Hey Cath - my kids r arguing outside! It has never ended this summer. I'd think they'd be far apart enough that this wouldn't happen (10 ad 5)

6:33 pm

hugs&kisses

hey do yall have any hints for this puzzled

6:33 pm

chj

fortunately i had already finished yesterdays puzzle

6:33 pm

Krista

Aww, do u think she is sick or cutting teeth?

6:33 pm

Cathyar

lol...there's a little girl in the neighborhood...only 6 who keeps showing her privates to my son!!! sheesh

6:34 pm

FranMag

she's sick, she's had a runny nose also

6:34 pm

chj

then, when the power came back last night, my computer went bonkers in mid chat..whoever i was chatting with my apologies

6:34 pm

Cathyar

...and trying to grab my son's private

6:34 pm

FranMag

chj, that explains your expired butter.

6:35 pm

FranMag

cath, being totally serious here, she may be a victim of sexual abuse.

6:35 pm

chj

i missed the flip last night and didnt get my computer back until 5:30 this afternoon...im glad it was a small grid

6:35 pm

Cathyar

dyin for that ri5 clue!

6:35 pm

Krista

Wow, girls are doing everything that used to be boys' domain, aren't we, Cathy? Sheesh for sure. I agree with Fran - that's young to be acting out for any other reason.

6:36 pm

FranMag

cathy, ri + plural letter + you and me

6:36 pm

chj

yes fran i need to change my icon.. be right back

6:36 pm

Anj

...like Fran said...

6:36 pm

Cathyar

i've been wondering that myself krista and fran...i work for lawyers who have children's aid as a client and i think i oughta at least make a report so they could at least be checked out.

6:37 pm

Cathyar

luvs ya fran...tks for the clue

6:37 pm

FranMag

maybe i just watch law & order SVU too much!

6:38 pm

Cathyar

but i hate to be a poop disturber at the same time...could only cause myself some trubble with the neighbors!

6:38 pm

Krista

It's not something anyone likes to do, but it could help her. Do u know the parents at all?

6:38 pm

Cathyar

no...it is a sign for certain!!!

6:39 pm

Krista

They wouldn't have to know who did it. Heck, I had a social worker friend who was reported, and she works for child protective services! Someone saw her being beaten up by her autistic daughter and thought she was the perp.

6:39 pm

Cathyar

not met them...never even seen them b4 actually...just her dad. but u can never judge a book by its cover either.

6:39 pm

FranMag

your son is pretty young himself, right cath?

6:39 pm

Cathyar

omgosh krista

6:39 pm

Cathyar

only 9

6:39 pm

Cathyar

sorry 8...hit the wrong #

6:39 pm

Krista

If nothing's going on, they have nothing to worry about.

6:40 pm

chj

ok fran..a proper icon

6:40 pm

Cathyar

true...at least it could be checked on tho...i think i just might make the call and let CAS decide if they think it should be checked out.

6:40 pm

FranMag

ah yes, ai6

6:40 pm

Krista

I'll refresh, chj..kept looking for butterfly words in the grid. ;)

6:41 pm

chj

fran..i cant figure yours out..give me a hint ..like the hint for mine is ai6/21

6:41 pm

Cathyar

i've forbidden my son to play wiht this little girl at all now...prob is...all his other friends play together with her too so it's kinda leaving him out in the cold

6:41 pm

FranMag

qu4/8 chj.

6:41 pm

Cathyar

i think i WILL make that call...would hate to have my son lose friends over one child who may actually be hurting

6:42 pm

chj

ah..got it

6:42 pm

stidmama

Cathy -- it does not hurt to make the report. They may decide, being the experts, what to do with the information. I don't know what the law in Canada is, in the U.S. the person who reports suspected child abuse can remain anonymous.

6:42 pm

Krista

Sounds like a good plan, Cath.

6:42 pm

FranMag

hey stid!

6:43 pm

Krista

Nice icon, Stid

6:43 pm

FranMag

stid you made your own grid!

6:43 pm

Krista

Stid's Grid

6:43 pm

stidmama

:-) thanks for noticing Fran

6:44 pm

Cathyar

same here stidmama... although the files i've worked on at the office...make ya wonder how professional and expert they really are!!! it IS a tough job for sure...especially when they "apprehend" a child, but still...so many get away with a slap on the wrist that deserve worse...while others well...reverse the scenario

6:44 pm

inge

well chj, your icon is still a historical plane

6:45 pm

Cathyar

i think i will at least make the call and "do my part" though.

6:45 pm

Krista

Very true here, too. I could have had a free master's degree in SW if agreed to work x number of years in Child Protective Services. NOT for me.

6:45 pm

FranMag

stid, i liked our sq5/18 icon just as much.

6:45 pm

FranMag

inge, the clue is the people around the plane.

6:45 pm

Krista

Guten abend, Inge.

6:46 pm

stidmama

yes, that was a fun one, too. But I was bored when I finished, so I played around in my paint program...

6:46 pm

Cathyar

ty for that clue fran...i needed it also

6:46 pm

stidmama

guten abend, inge, wie geht's?

6:46 pm

inge

hallo Krista! Wie gehts?

6:46 pm

inge

No fair, stid, you read my thoughts

6:47 pm

Nicht schlect, Inge, danke.

I wish i learned more german on my two trips there besides how to read a menu!

6:48 pm

good night anj! sweet dreams!

6:48 pm

Krista

Jah, es gibt mir kalt, nun!

6:48 pm

FranMag

night anj!!!

6:49 pm

Krista

Not sure if I phrased that right, Inge. HIgh school German. :)

6:49 pm

stidmama

I had to look up Hitze it means heat -- wir haben wenige Hitze, heute war es eines gutes Tag.

6:50 pm

Cathyar

last si5/10 pls?

6:50 pm

FranMag

i'm trying to follow, did krista say it's a little cooler today?

6:50 pm

inge

With your pure German name I thought you were a recent import, legal of course.

6:50 pm

hetty

Hullo there everyone, I've just revised my bio. Stid, du bist die ruh-der friede mild

6:50 pm

inge

Krista is saying that she is getting cold, so Maryland must have cooled off as well

6:51 pm

Krista

I was named for my brother's teacher who was Bavarian!

KEVIN JOSEPH ALOYSIUS â€œCHUCKâ€ CONNERS
Chuck is best known as â€œThe Riflemanâ€, a highly popular television western series, but had earlier been in 942 minor league games from 1940 through 1952 less three military years. Chuck was born in 1921, was over 6â€™5â€, attended Seton Hall University, and played pro basketball for three years in the late1940â€™s. .
Connors did make it to the majors. He was with the Brooklyn Dodgers for one game as a pinch-hitter in 1949, and was in 66 more with the Chicago Cubs in 1951. The big, left-handed firstbaseman hit two home runs for the Cubs, and finished his big league career with an average of .238. He was sent back to the minors, left baseball after a year with Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast League, and became an actor.
The television headliner was also in many motion pictures such as the classic The Big Country with Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston. Conners died in 1992 at the age of 71.
