2:03 am

Hugabugs

between here and there... and that new site Yoink got me hooked on... there's just not enough time in a day

2:03 am

Nef

I got tired of KOL last fall. Besides, I got elected to 1st VP of my nursing association and just ran out of time for hanging out on the 'puter all of the time

2:04 am

Nef

What site did Yoink get you hooked on? I've run into him a few times here

2:05 am

Hugabugs

2:06 am

Nef

mab, KOL is a fun game and there are lots of different ways of playing it; you shold check it out

2:07 am

Nef

oh-oh. Is that going to be another addicting game?

2:08 am

Hugabugs

there's actually 7 different word games a day. But most of them are time, so you get through them quite quickly.

2:09 am

Nef

okay, I've bookmarked that site. I'll check it out probably on Monday *MY* day off! :D

2:10 am

Hugabugs

I finally got a new job in April. It's okay but nothing great.

2:11 am

Nef

Really? Did you quit your old job, or were you let go? (I can't remember the details right now; sorry)

2:12 am

Nef

still going to casinos in MN? ;)

2:13 am

Hugabugs

They reclassified my position so that I needed accreditation for my accounting. So after 21 yrs I was no longer "qualified" for the job.

2:13 am

Hugabugs

Yeah... I'm going again in October

2:13 am

Nef

that's right!

2:15 am

Hugabugs

That was a year ago in June, and I'll be getting my last salary continuance cheque next week. Not too bad, eh?

2:15 am

Atalante

*wanders in* hi! what's BM??

2:16 am

Nef

My Aunt that raised me up there died in April; Hubby's MS has progressed and he's taken disability retirement; and I've been off work for over 2 months from work injury. Oh; and we totalled 2 cars so far this year (neither our fault, thank goodness)

2:16 am

Nef

BM was a game called Badde Manors that is no longer functioning

2:17 am

Hugabugs

Wow... the past year hasn't been good to you. Sorry to hear all that.

2:17 am

Blaze

and here I though my 17 year old grand daughter being pregnant was a load....

2:17 am

Nef

it has been a long year already; but I keep saying it's getting better bit by bit! :)

2:19 am

Nef

LOL Blaze! Sometimes life seems to suck but then again there are the good times too

2:19 am

Nef

(give me a few minutes and I'll think of a few!) :D

2:20 am

Blaze

It is all in the balance... I find prayer gets me through somehow.... are you healing from your work injury??

2:22 am

tazpink

hi all i just turned pro can not figure the icon thingy out

2:22 am

Nef

yes, The good news is it was work-related and I got workers' comp; the bad news is I needed surgery. I'm not sure yet if my return to 4 hour shifts of PAPERWORK is good or bad yet! YUK! Hopefully I can start *REAL* nursing again soon! (I just started back to work for the 4 hr shifts last week)

2:23 am

Blaze

tazpink go up on the screen and click on my account... edit icon...

2:23 am

Nef

Taz, it took me a while to figure it out too; now that I got ONE icon on, I'm not changing for a while! :D

2:26 am

tazpink

Taz, for now, you can just fill out the profile and continue to use the grey shadow until you get the rest the way you like it

2:27 am

Blaze

2:28 am

Nef

Thanks for reminding me that I'm supposed to shut up and search for words, Blaze! :)

2:29 am

Blaze

that was no reminder that was just whining on my part

2:30 am

jillibus

taz - go to google images and type in the category you want. When you find the picture you like, right-click on it, choose 'save image as' and put it in your My Pictures file with a name that means something and .jpg or .gif afterwards. Make sure it is saved that way. Then go to My Account and Edit, go down to Browse. It will take you to your My Pictures and the one you like. Click on it. You'll go back to Edit and click on Upload. You'll pobably have to refresh. At the same time, do your profile and don't forget to 'Update Profile'. Also 'Show Profile'. Hope this helps.

2:30 am

Nef

I like to chat too much! I've only found 62 words because I'm chatting too much

9:46 am

Uneaixoise

right, jac--they're a pretty common sock but I don't get why we're gonna have a Gold Toes Day . . . is it maybe a sports thing?

9:47 am

stidmatt

Yes, unless if they ate us, remember in Episode VI when they wanted to eat Han, LEia, Chewie, and Luke?

9:47 am

Jacula

Une - No idea! Not the foggiest!

9:47 am

stidmatt

an optical illusion.

9:47 am

Scrabbler

Bu they turned out to be "our" allies.

9:47 am

Jacula

BBL - need to get the lamb and potatoes roasting.

9:47 am

stidmatt

But then 3PO said that they were good, and they needed to be freed.

9:47 am

Uneaixoise

thought maybe it was sports--unless it's tennis, I'm clueless on that topic!!

9:47 am

stidmatt

Yes.

FMitch

Done but couldn't chat as had to work this morning.

10:34 am

Haz1558

Hello stidmama - glad you enjoy the stories. We are at opposite ends of the story-telling spectrum - yours are wonderfully imaginative, mine are observations on real life.

10:34 am

stidmama

hi FMitch!

10:34 am

stidmama

work -- on Sunday?

10:35 am

Cathyar

haz...i think stidmama dabbles at that end of the spectrum as well, don't u stid?

10:35 am

FMitch

Hey stidmama
'Fraid so, have to work when I can
I'm still catching up on your and Haz's stories, love them.

10:35 am

Cathyar

haz, are your stories in bab anon as well?

10:36 am

stidmama

I would, Cathy, if there were anything worth telling. I am afraid my few and minimal forays into nonfiction center around the garden and the kids.

10:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, Cathyar - under 'Animal Magic' in 'Other interests'.

10:38 am

majmom

10:41 am

sherb

and on iTunes...

Do you remember the 21st night of september?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

10:41 am

stidmama

is the J used in anything today?

10:41 am

Cathyar

oops...yes it did work

10:42 am

10:43 am

Haz1558

The singular of or7 is ordo. I haven't the foggiest notion why.

10:43 am

stidmama

hi ch!

10:43 am

roncook

oui, it is an exclamation of surprise !!

10:43 am

Cathyar

hmm...how odd

10:44 am

ch1212

10:44 am

stidmama

10:44 am

10:45 am

Cathyar

i wish i lived in southern us where it NEVER snows!

10:45 am

10:45 am

Angela

i don't know Cathy - my friends in VA get snow every year... :)

10:45 am

stidmama

well Cathy, you know you could always move south -- we live in a lovely climate, a dusting of snow once or twice a year with a few inches that stick every three to five years.... :-P

10:45 am

Cathyar

lol Jera...u must be a skiier!?

10:46 am

Cathyar

stidmama....can i move in with you? ;)

10:46 am

Jera

Got it, FMitch... thanks!

10:46 am

stidmama

And where we live (that includes our BC babblers as well) we are close to mountains and ocean...

10:46 am

oggy

stid hair looks nice, but what made u cut it.

10:46 am

Jera

Not at all Cathyar... think they'd let me try it in my wheelchair? LOL

10:46 am

Cathyar

ahhh...sounds sooo lovely.

10:46 am

Angela

i think they would Jera :)

10:47 am

tingy

Hello Babble people!

10:47 am

Angela

hi tingy

10:47 am

Jera

Greetings, tingy!

10:47 am

FMitch

We've had thunder rolling around for the last hour but no rain, which makes a change as it has been monsooning most of the day

10:47 am

Cathyar

oh!!! jera! *opens mouth and inserts foot*

10:47 am

stidmama

Was tired of the long hair, for one -- it was always getting caught in something... and then I know several folks having chemo, so thought I would send it off to Locks of Love for children who need wigs.

10:47 am

stidmama

hi tingy!

10:47 am

oggy

my hair was that long in my thirties, but not now.

10:47 am

Jera

We have clear skies until the day of my Girl Scout eeting... only day this week that calls for rain...

10:47 am

Angela

i see people all the time that are wheelchair bound on the slopes

10:48 am

Cathyar

hi tingy

10:48 am

sherb

sure Jera... skis on those wheels and watch you go!!

10:48 am

stidmama

Jera --- umm.... you know people in wheelchairs do ski, right? there are clinics around here every winter...

10:48 am

Jera

We are big supporters of Locks of Love, stidmama!

10:48 am

oggy

that was a nice thought.

10:48 am

Jera

Wheelchair bound... kinky! Never tried that...

10:49 am

Angela

*blushes*

10:49 am

Cathyar

lol jera

10:49 am

stidmama

It's time I did something to help someone, oggy. Seems my insulated little world doesn't extend very far sometimes.

10:49 am

Angela

rits

10:49 am

Jera

I'm not into skiing at all, so no, I didn't know. Doesn't surprise me, though...

10:50 am

Cathyar

brb...need coffee

10:50 am

stidmama

I don't ski, btw, except occasionally cross-country. My knees are not good enough to handle the jarring of downhill.

10:50 am

Angela

it's quite embarassing, because I've been skiing a long time and they kick my a$$

10:50 am

oggy

that is the first pic i have seen of u.

10:51 am

Jera

Let's try it in a wheelchair, stidmama! Wheeeeee!!

10:51 am

sherb

*finally discovers the 10 and 11 by accident...*

10:51 am

stidmama

I'm with you, Jera! (race you to the lodge for lattes....)

10:52 am

Jera

My kids laugh at me cuz whever I'm going down a hill or one of those death-trap ramps in my daughter's school, I hold my hands up in the air like I'm on a roller-coaster

10:52 am

stidmama

yippee for sherb!

10:52 am

Cathyar

ahh...that's better

10:52 am

oggy

10:52 am

stidmama

*realizes it's too late to offer Cathy an MJCL...* sorry Cathy!

10:52 am

FMitch

well done sherb, lovely non compund real words, very satisfying

10:52 am

sherb

10:53 am

stidmama

oh no oggy! I have given up on finishing these on purpose! only the small ones. I just log in to chat and pick up the odd clue (some clues odder than others)

10:53 am

Cathyar

lol...what is an MJCL?

10:53 am

GreyWoulf

Good morning all!!

10:53 am

stidmama

Hi Woulf! feeling more alive this morning?

10:53 am

Jera

10:54 am

GreyWoulf

I am here just to find a few words before we go to off to celebrate Kristianna's birthday :)

10:54 am

10:54 am

Jera

I saw you get on-line a bit ago & hoped you'd head this way

10:54 am

GreyWoulf

10:55 am

Cathyar

tu cleans up paint (to make it easier)

10:55 am

stidmama

Happy Birthday to Woulf and Kristen (and Kristianna, of course) birthday parties are as much a celebration for us parents for surviving another year as they are for the kids.

10:55 am

Cathyar

happy birthday!!! :)

10:55 am

FMitch

How old is she now GW?

10:55 am

Jera

Good stuff, that's what I was looking for...

10:57 am

10:58 am

stidmama

Woulf, you are the doting daddy, aren't you? Go ahead and indulge while it's not that expensive! ;-)

10:58 am

stidmama

10:58 am

Jera

Gwyd will be 5 next month & he wants a dinosaur party... again

10:59 am

Haz1558

No, less fishy altogether. A drinking vessel combined with a ceremony.

10:59 am

shmoozanne

tr8 anyone?

10:59 am

hetty

Haz, that "cr"word was being bandied about a couple of days ago--I thought it much more insulting than "stupid" sounds

10:59 am

hurshy

excellent, thanks :)

10:59 am

Jera

I don't like it cuz of the ethnic conotations...

10:59 am

GreyWoulf

stid --so far I have been lucky on that score -- both items were on sale for 20 dollars

11:00 am

renfield

wolf - are you still going to that fab resale store you found?

11:01 am

snowyowl

hi all -GW -lovely to see you -enjoy your birthday celebrations! My youngest grandson is 3 tomorrow & my sister is 46 tomorrow! Just entertained 10 for lunch so some me time is due.

11:01 am

Jera

11:01 am

GreyWoulf

actually these were both at regular stores -- the tent was target and the patio set at linens & things

11:01 am

sherb

hi snowy :) and hi ren :)

11:01 am

snowyowl

Jera! long time no see!

11:01 am

Jera, what don't you like??

11:01 am

Jera

It's been a coon's age... how have you been??

11:02 am

renfield

hey ya sherb!

11:02 am

Jera

The word cr6/21 meaning stupid person

11:03 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry folks, but the b-day girl wants some computer time so I have to go -- if I don't get back later {{HUGS for all}}

11:03 am

snowyowl

I'm well ty. Was very busy for most of June & have had 2 weeks hols in July! Things are thankfully slowing down for a few days now

11:03 am

Jera

I really dislike ethnic insults

11:03 am

Flask1

Oh I see.......

11:03 am

Jera

Good to see you, GW... hugs to all!

11:03 am

Flask1

Bye Wolf!!

11:03 am

hurshy

cretin, cretan, different

11:03 am

Atalante

but you'll use the word coon, Jera? isnt that worse??

11:04 am

Haz1558

In reply to hetty and Jera's criticism re the clue I gave for cr6/21 - hurshy asked for a quick clue, I gave the quickest I could think of, without consulting the dictionary to find the proper meaning. I apologise if my quick clue was seen as being insulting - it was not intended since I didn't realise the origin of the word.

11:04 am

WordsRock

How is the cr6/21 ethnic in any way?

11:04 am

Jera

Um, no... not seeing someone in a coon's age refers to the masked animal , not the AA term

11:04 am

mymuseisme

Hi everybody......trying to sneak in a few words before I leave for the gym

11:04 am

hurshy

oops, i used a word

11:05 am

hey ata :)

11:05 am

snowyowl

hi hurshy & Atalante

11:05 am

Oh, I wasn't trying to correct anyone for using that definition, just running my mouth that don't like it, LOL

11:05 am

Sorry. typed in wrong box.

11:06 am

AA term? now I'm intrigued lol - AA as in Alcoholics Anonymous?

11:06 am

mymuseisme

ty words - lol I missed that one

11:06 am

hurshy

lotta great words today, wish i had time to do the whole thing properly

11:06 am

Flask1

whats your icon Hurshy??

11:06 am

Jera

No AA as in African American (I think that's the current correct term)

11:06 am

Atalante

ah! I didn't know that abbreviation!

11:07 am

sherb

what would 'properly' involve, hurshy?

11:07 am

Jera

I like the term person of color, but it seems to not be specific enough

11:07 am

hurshy

left over from flag day yesterday, flask... flag of the United Federation of Planets... and torgone, if you're around, do NOT say from star wars

11:07 am

hetty

Haz, I meant no criticism of your clue--just in my usual bossy way trying add to its usefulness.

11:07 am

mymuseisme

lol

11:07 am

hurshy

"properly" (for me) would not include going to the list with 55 to go - i'm getting a lot of words now, from the list, that i know i could have gotten on my own

11:07 am

Flask1

lol...

11:08 am

shmoozanne

Afternoon, all. Well, this is a little more challenging than yesterday's puzzle. I finished that sucker in about 20 minutes. And I didn't even have to cheat!

11:09 am

hetty

Hursh, I learned (learnt) a useful lesson yesterday, when my determination not to use the list a all led to the wrong kind of fireworks with Dr_God because i seemed to be a word short in the final tally. I shalll now always check my final list against lickety or bj

11:10 am

Flask1

or + to eat = pl.

11:10 am

hurshy

i don't get it, hetty, how could not using a list cause that problem?

11:12 am

hetty

I was convinced, Hursh, that I had all the d's, and I was one short in fact--which I would have discovered if I'd looked at the list rather than the boxes only. Anyway, there are many ways to go, as we all know, and whatever works for you is best

11:12 am

mymuseisme

HI ren and nut!! You both would also probably like Escher's Girl in Mirror

11:13 am

11:25 am

snowyowl

11:32 am

Munner

snowy, just read your post. When my son and his wife divorced, she wanted each to take one of their cats. He held firm that they would not separate the kitties so he moved back home with his 2 cats, who drove one of our two cats crazy. Lots of competition among the 4. But I'd do it all again to help him out. Luckily, marriage was short and no kids. He's remarried to a wonderful wife and they have a 2 and 4 year old now AND the same 2 cats from the first marriage!

11:32 am

Well I'm hopoing the divorce will be more amicable than the marriage! They are doing quite well at the moment & of course it will be difficult -the only good thing is that my son is away for 6 days at a time with his job at present so the littlies are quite used to living with one parent at a time so to speak.

11:35 am

11:39 am

Munner

Atalante, look carefully: Is it a beautiful woman or an old crone?

11:39 am

Aloyisius

11:40 am

Atalante

I know I should be able to see an old woman but I just can't! I can never see optical illusions!

11:40 am

FMitch

11:41 am

Atalante

oh! yes ... I kinda see that now!

11:41 am

Munner

Atalante, look at the necklace of the beautiful woman. It becomes the old crone's mouth. The dainty ear becomes the old crone's eye.

11:42 am

stidmatt

2:37 pm

ch1212

2:38 pm

debbinla

lol krista - how did it taste?

2:38 pm

Krista

I had the choice of a new oven, or a trip to NYC in May, and chose the trip. Now I'm frying frozen pizzas.

2:38 pm

renfield

if it doesn;t have "drive th 4/6"on the label i don't eat

2:39 pm

ch1212

thanks, ren -- I was missing that one!

2:39 pm

Krista

Well, it wasn't too bad. I alternated microwaving it for the cooking, and frying it for the browning, Debb!

2:39 pm

scv

haha.

2:39 pm

nrkii

krista, there are decent frozen pizzas for microwave now... I recommend them!

2:39 pm

debbinla

2:39 pm

nrkii

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

renfield

2:40 pm

debbinla

i'm thinking the mets need - say 4-5 insurance runs to make me feel safe

2:40 pm

chj

i have only a microwave

2:40 pm

debbinla

what exactly is the convection part?

2:41 pm

scv

i never feel safe, no matter how many insurance runs or goal my team scores

2:41 pm

ch1212

LOL ren -- I agree!

2:41 pm

nrkii

debb, works like an oven

2:41 pm

nrkii

but faster

2:41 pm

chj

otherwise it would be chicken ot ies

2:41 pm

nrkii

fireworks at last

2:41 pm

Krista

Yes, I'll have to remember that, nrkii, and not buy the oven kind. Oh, convection ovens are nice.Ch1212..what did u do with your turkey??

2:41 pm

ch1212

ROFL chj!! That's great!

2:42 pm

renfield

2:48 pm

nrkii

krista, what was your methodical approach?

2:48 pm

Krista

oh, I mean do all the c's, then all the u's, etc.

2:48 pm

ch1212

Krista, I get about 60-70% just hunting, then I resort to the list, trolling back for clues, asking for hints, praying :D

2:48 pm

seano216k

krista, sometimes i work down from a-z, other times i try and black out letters in the lower grid

2:49 pm

seano216k

today was an a-z day!

2:49 pm

nrkii

I usually get 60-80% hunting, but I try to be sure I check every letter... then I check the tile stats to see where I've done particularly bad and fill in those ... then come to chat for help ... then go to list

2:49 pm

ch1212

seano your icon is soooo amazing and kind of creepy! Mine has some similarities in the creepy part.

2:49 pm

izzyjinx

Hi everyone, I have just signed in to have a look and see if I could get any more words, I don't seem to be able to, but I am up to 155, so that's pretty good, huh?

2:49 pm

renfield

depends on which letter i dislike for the day

2:50 pm

nrkii

izzy, yes that is good

2:50 pm

ch1212

great, izzy!

2:50 pm

debbinla

very good izzy -

2:50 pm

Krista

I am about the same, ch. Seano, that's interesting! We could make a pattern in the tile stats

2:50 pm

izzyjinx

Thanks everyone!!

2:50 pm

Scrabbler

en, second column--I can't find it, Probably another "duh" word

2:51 pm

nrkii

not a duh word at all

2:51 pm

nrkii

en + when you try to lose weight, switch order of last two letters... then plural also

2:51 pm

chj

krista...i get as many as i can ..just me and the grid...usually about 2/3's of the list...then i input what i have in licketys list and go through it alphabetically...it helps to know what word comes before and after the word you need and the point total....you can then eliminate certain letters

2:51 pm

lynxxx

fi5.18 the 1st one clue pls

2:52 pm

Scrabbler

TY!

2:52 pm

seano216k

if some boxes only need 2 or 3, i hunt for them first as a little morale booster

2:53 pm

ch1212

I have an fi 5/18 that means cruel person

nrkii

krista, me too

2:54 pm

lynxxx

TY ch1212

2:54 pm

chj

nrkii...but if you dont enter them, you cant always know where in the order the words you already have fit...then you might as well just print out babanons list which i used to do

2:54 pm

jillibus

thanks nrkii - I had almost monkeyed that but wanted it to end with the sometime vowel!

2:55 pm

nrkii

chj, I just compare the word list on babble to the list on lickety

2:55 pm

nrkii

I always can tell where in order my missing word will fit

2:56 pm

renfield

i like that black stuff those guys wear under their eyes

Ping, I didn't play Friday because I spent the day in NY with my brother and 2 kids from his baseball team

2:57 pm

chj

i understand but if say you have all the st's execept 3 and the last 3 are st 4/5, st 5/7 and st 4/5 you wont know whether that last st4/5 you have is the 3rd to last word or the last....it can be a big help to know

2:57 pm

nrkii

and then yesterday's was so quick, I was only on for about 30 minutes

2:57 pm

2:58 pm

nrkii

oh, chj, I guess that's true, esp when you have ch 4/6, ch 4/6, ch 4/6 and you don't know where the missing one will go... but it hardly seems worth it to do all that typing for that rare circumstance

2:58 pm

lynxxx

3:00 pm

jillibus

lots of ex-NYers - me too, long ago

3:00 pm

Ping

first park slope, later chelsea

3:00 pm

scv

the double typing is only annoying at the beginning when you have a flood of words. so to battle that, i do one letter at a time by the grid at the bottom.. that way after im confident ive found all i could, i go to lickety and type in all the c's or all the t's.. whatever i've just spent a little time on

3:00 pm

Ping

long ago for me too, jilli

3:00 pm

onyx

me too, ex, ny er

3:00 pm

chj

i dont type every word but look at each two letter combo and see if i need that extra info...so i only wind up typing a select few words

3:00 pm

scv

then its not so bad later on when im only typing every few minutes late in the game

3:01 pm

Cathyar

the first ni5/10 please?

3:01 pm

izzyjinx

I am not spanish, just felt like saying something different for a change... lol :D

3:01 pm

jillibus

scv, that sounds like a good scheme

3:01 pm

nrkii

ah, I see... yeah, I guess that might help, but not sure I'd think to take the time to do that...

3:01 pm

scv

or work in the window with lickety and come to babble only when you've got words to enter

3:01 pm

Ping

where are you now, onyx?

3:01 pm

debbinla

lord knows i'm an ex nyer

3:02 pm

Krista

Interesting, guys..I've wanted to ask that for a long time (how you go about solving the grid). Thanks for the replies.

3:02 pm

scv

trying to work out a system. theres probably a much easier way

3:02 pm

Ping

i'm interested in that too, krista

3:02 pm

nrkii

cathy, when you stay up till dawn writing a paper, it's an all-ni*** (spelling variant)

3:02 pm

renfield

i beg krista

3:03 pm

chj

begging works too

3:03 pm

Ping

one day fran forgot to switch from chat to grid and she typed in i think a new word each second - nrkii is probably like that - i am very pokey though

3:03 pm

Anniebrook

Liz, are you on now??

3:03 pm

Cathyar

ahhh...ty nrkii and i'll take that fish again

3:03 pm

nrkii

one thing krista, for some reason I like starting with no clues and no tile stats, so I close up my window a bit so I can only see the grid and the word list...

3:03 pm

scv

off to work. be able to finish tonight hopefully

3:03 pm

Krista

You'll have to read back over the replies, Ping.

3:03 pm

nrkii

the tile stats sometimes hang me up, because I focus too much on them

3:03 pm

Ping

i like to wait as long as possible before referring to the list

3:04 pm

Ping

hi annie!

3:04 pm

jillibus

and nrkii's a speed demon with sharp eyes

3:04 pm

Anniebrook

hi Ping!

3:04 pm

nrkii

I try to get 2/3 to 3/4 done without looking at tile stats

3:04 pm

nrkii

LOL jilli, until the end, when I stall badly

3:04 pm

nrkii

feather is the speed demon at the end

3:04 pm

Krista

yeah, I used to close the chat at first, but now I'm too nosy. I just ignore the clues at first.

3:04 pm

renfield

then i beg w/ a whine

3:05 pm

debbinla

for the love of god chj

3:05 pm

nrkii

then ren begs, whines, and offers bribes :)

3:05 pm

Ping

nrkii, how often do you use the list?

3:05 pm

chj

its always exciting

3:05 pm

jillibus

I'm slow, watch chat, use all possible help, and enjoy it all

3:05 pm

Krista

And after that, Ren...?

3:05 pm

debbinla

lol - one way of looking at it

3:05 pm

renfield

you've got it nrkii! it's an art form!

3:06 pm

Cathyar

3:06 pm

Ping, I use the list on about 95% of grids

3:06 pm

shouldn't that be pe4/5winkle today?? ;-)

3:10 pm

Ping

hey seano

3:10 pm

Krista

oh, yes, just thought of something else i do..when I first start to get stuck, I go back over what I have and look for endings (plurals, past tenses, etc.) before I go to the list

3:11 pm

nrkii

seano, you're right, I should have said pe**

3:11 pm

chj

unlike some, i enjoy using the list because it involves a certain amount of logic intead of just pure monkeying

3:12 pm

nrkii

krista, sometimes I do that, but mostly, as soon as I discover the ending, I go back right away, then work to remember the ending on all the other words

3:12 pm

seano216k

i agree chj, i like it when you work out what a word should be by tile values alone...very satisfying when a word you've never heard of turns green!

3:12 pm

nrkii

hey, who are you calling a pure monkey?

3:12 pm

periwinkle

ve6/27 and ve7/40 please

3:12 pm

renfield

i turn my head sideways to see if the grid looks any different

3:12 pm

chj

everytime pe4/5winkle posts she says a word

3:13 pm

nrkii

chj, but to your point, I think pure monkeying is right about when I get aggravated, so that's when I do use the list :)

3:13 pm

nrkii

ren, does it?

3:13 pm

Ping

and then spin the screen around and around, right ren?

Hello All...hope everyone's having a great day. Just beginning but it looks promising.

stid - she is resting, went to vet this morning, had bandage changed, a little less skitty, but still wants to be alone - thanks for asking

hello Odin -- not a bad grid, just big, it seems (but I am only halfway...)

4:31 pm

stidmama

will keep sending healing her way (and yours)

4:31 pm

helenkeller

lol douglas - yes - that book can be harmful if you have a rigid brain - i know i hurt myself reading it :)

4:31 pm

Odin

It does look interesting...fairly new to the whole Balle thing but I am improving thanks to all the tips and hints from you pros!

4:31 pm

stidmama

go PappouTed go! (what does Pappou mean?)

4:32 pm

mymuseisme

Hi PT!

4:32 pm

PappouTed

stidmama, pappou means grandpa in greek. My dad passed away last month so I picked a name to honor him.

4:32 pm

Douglas

Under 200 words to go...woo-hoo!

4:32 pm

helenkeller

ty stid - much appreciated

4:32 pm

PappouTed

oh, his first name was Ted

4:33 pm

stidmama

I am so sorry about your father -- this is a nice tribute! (what is your name, or how do you want to be called?)

4:33 pm

helenkeller

aw pap - that's very sweet of you :)

4:33 pm

PappouTed

I'm Penny, but that was taken when I first signed on

4:34 pm

stidmama

yippee Douglas! *starts looking more urgently...* (Douglas is going to be ahead of me in no time.)

4:35 pm

stidmama

Penny -- that is such a nice name. Is it short for Penelope (since you have the Greek?)

4:35 pm

PappouTed

actually it's short for Pantelia (which is really greek) it's a name you find on our island of Kalymnos.

4:36 pm

stidmama

okay, monkeys seem to be on strike... CR 6 please?

4:36 pm

Jen34

love the name Pantelia -- how pretty

4:36 pm

stidmama

oooh! another place I have not heard of *dashes off to look at map*

4:36 pm

Jen34

stid, slang for an idiot, or cr + vowel + metal

4:36 pm

mymuseisme

cr6 is insult for slow, unintelligent person

4:37 pm

mo

stid....a fool!!...not you that is the clue!

4:37 pm

PappouTed

thanks, my sister got the normal name, she's Maria, LOL

4:38 pm

stidmama

oh, and the capital of Kalymnos is Pothia, and there are sponge divers there and everything! It sounds just lovely, Penny!

4:38 pm

Douglas

I laugh that cr6 is in the puzzle, because here in St. Paul, that is the name of a well-traveled street, because one of the first bishops of St. Paul has that name, and there is a high-school named ******-Derham Hall, where Joe Mauer went to school.

4:38 pm

stidmama

thanks muse and Jen and mo (and the word does seem to resemble me today...) LOL

4:38 pm

Jen34

*sings* I just met a girl named Maria . . .

4:39 pm

stidmama

I was looking at the wrong CR starting point...

4:39 pm

PappouTed

stidmama, it really is beautiful, my sister and her family went for 3 weeks last month and my nephew fell in love with it. I haven't been there since 1983

4:39 pm

Douglas

Don't forget that there might be more than one slow, unintelligent person lurking in the grid...

4:39 pm

Odin

Thanks all

4:40 pm

stidmama

So how cume, if Kalymnos is so much bigger, I hadn't heard of it, but have heard of Patmos?

4:40 pm

mymuseisme

hmm type in a word, says I've already en5ed it, but it doesn't show, anyone else have that happen?

4:40 pm

stidmama

forgive the typos, please, I am only barely functional this afternoon.

4:41 pm

Douglas

Because Patmos is in the Bible, and Kalymnos isn't...

4:41 pm

stidmama

try refresh, muse, sometimes that sorts things out...

4:41 pm

stidmama

ah. Yes, that explains it. thanks, Douglas!

4:41 pm

Douglas

Nothing against Kalymnos, you already know it's a wonderful place...

4:42 pm

I've been tied up so long
There's no escape
I've been strangled
All choked up inside
Swallowed all my pride
Roped and hogtied
Been tied up in knots
That's all I got
Gimme glove shoes
This ain't no way for havin' fun
I could run away to Spain
But I'd just get tied again
I could run off to Jamaica
If this bondage I could breaka
I could run away to Spain
But I'd just get tied again
I could run off to Jamaica
If this bondage I could breaka
