1:36 am

hurshy

i assure you i am in fact a mere mortal

1:37 am

tazpink

hursh whats a plural check?

1:37 am

hurshy

a plural check is when you look at all your words and see if you missed any plurals

1:37 am

hurshy

very tedious.

1:37 am

tazpink

o ty

1:38 am

hurshy

i just want 2 more words, is that so much to ask, she says plaintively

1:38 am

hurshy

who had that sw8, can i have a clue for it?

1:38 am

mich_pdx

hurshy, you may be mortal, but I don't believe your "mere" by any stretch of the imagination -- there's a mighty brain speeding behind the curtain, that's all :)

1:38 am

nrkii

hurshy, it's sort of sw***

1:39 am

RocDragon

sw8 builds off sw5/18

2:35 am

FranMag

hi lickety!

2:35 am

nrkii

tx fran

2:35 am

riemann

When I load your page, Lickety, many of the words have the wrong 2 letters listed to start the blank.

2:35 am

sprite

I have 3 aw-words so far, riemann.

2:35 am

nrkii

2 more words and I go to bed

2:36 am

sprite

Ata! That is some compliment, LOL!

2:36 am

riemann

Your descriptions to the left of the boxes is correct, though.

2:36 am

licketySplitAUS

Try Shift Refresh - or Cntrl F5

2:36 am

Atalante

thought you'd be impressed!

2:37 am

riemann

*ah* Shift-Refresh worked. Thanks.

2:37 am

sprite

More than impressed... definitely not worthy of that!

2:38 am

licketySplitAUS

yeah - looks like you had a part load riemann - shift refresh sorted out your cookies

2:38 am

sprite

Eating them all sorts out my cookies pretty well, more often than not.

2:39 am

Atalante

mmmmm cookies

Yeah, that is a valid one, ramix :)

2:45 am

MVA

i don't have the patience or knowledge either but i still play!

3:15 am

Ywis! Ywis hasn't been there for a long time. Hey lynxxx!Quite a grid, right? No, no record, not at all. But rewarding! Hi seano.

3:15 am

jillibus

I'm hung up on that Dick Francis book title "Dead Cert" and can't get beyond it

3:16 am

sprite

Sorta plural, jilli.

3:16 am

Atalante

3:17 am

jillibus

oh heavens! Thanks, sprite and here I go - *poof*

3:17 am

Night jilli :)

3:18 am

sprite

Beautiful yiddish words again: Dr7/36 and 6/24, two alt. spellings for A toy similar to a spinning top used in games of chance played by children and adults at Hanukkah.

3:19 am

scv

thanks, sprite!

3:20 am

ramix

um...some of us don't speak yiddish

3:21 am

sprite

I don't speak yiddish, but I am definitely learning some of the words from this game!

3:21 am

olivirgin

so the 6/24 and 7/36 are similar? i have the 7/36, but am clueless on the other

3:22 am

sprite

Just leave out a vowel, olivirgin.

3:22 am

olivirgin

thanks!!!

3:22 am

olivirgin

and like you, i'm learning some yiddish

3:23 am

pinecone05

got them...thank sprite

3:23 am

sprite

yw :)

3:25 am

ramix

so how come the grid takes yiddish words but not say french or afrikaans

3:26 am

sprite

Aha... that oceanic growth Se7/48 has a an equine nephew Ho9/90!
Sometimes it does, ramix. The enable dictionary decides what is valid and what not, and the enable dictionary is far beyond nuts.

3:26 am

Atalante

ooooo so it does!

3:27 am

sprite

Such a rewarding grid today :D

3:27 am

Atalante

tis if you can get it to work properly *growls at site*

3:28 am

scv

sure, we'll call it "rewarding" :)

3:28 am

Angb

Sprite you are magic. Thnx

3:28 am

FranMag

i'm at exactly half

3:28 am

olivirgin

thanks sprite! i've never heard of the ho 9/90 before

3:28 am

FranMag

hi ang!

3:28 am

olivirgin

so am i fran! lol

3:29 am

Angb

The worse thing is I have. Hi Fran

3:29 am

sprite

One of the worst things that can happen to babble... that the site won't keep up with you entering words. I completely sympathize with you, Ata!
WTG Fran!

3:29 am

sprite

And olivirgin too :)

3:29 am

olivirgin

i imagine i won't get much further. my vocabulary isn't as advanced as i'd like it to be. hopefully babble will help with that. lol

3:30 am

scv

when i that happens i start writing them down

3:30 am

scv

and wait until its better

3:30 am

sprite

Babble will, olivirgin! You can't imagine the load of words I learned from this game. Most of them completely useless in common conversation of course. Ywis!

3:30 am

Atalante

I hate it cos you think you've entered them, so you never bother to think of them again ...

3:31 am

sprite

That's exactly the problem, Ata. It is a problem with finishing, because you have to reenter words that you have thrown from memory already.

3:32 am

Atalante

yes! its horrid!

3:32 am

olivirgin

i'm always amazed at the really "duh" ones that i don't get at first. such common words sitting in front of my face, and i just don't get them lol

3:32 am

sprite

Hmz... somehow I get the feeling that one would never say 'thrown from memory'. Deleted? Erased?

3:33 am

sprite

That too, olivirgin! And that doesn't get better, at least not with me, lol.

3:33 am

Atalante

erased sounds good

3:33 am

sprite

Okay, thanks. Will learn proper english some day. Promise ;)

3:33 am

Atalante

*giggles*

3:34 am

olivirgin

you know, i'm so used to seeing you guys give clues in conversation, that i start reading waaaaay into things that don't mean anything lol

3:35 am

sprite

LOL! No clues intended in the last few entries, oli!

3:35 am

olivirgin

lol i figured that out finally lol

3:37 am

sprite

Here comes a clue: that Dr7/36 toy rhymes with a Se6/21.

3:38 am

olivirgin

thanks!

3:39 am

sprite

Totally NOT related, but just as much fun, lol. It means a large beer mug with a capacity of one liter (1.1 quarts) and often having a hinged lid.

3:40 am

ramix

hmm...still dont get it. i guess i'll have to google it

3:42 am

sprite

Let me think... for the Dr7... start with "lost all liquid".
Then invert vowels.
Then add first two letters of 'basic schooling'.

3:43 am

olivirgin

okay, any clues for both o? i have 1/2 and 4/7

3:43 am

ramix

ah...got it!!! thanks sprite

3:43 am

olivirgin

and i keep staring and staring hoping for something to jump out

3:44 am

sprite

Did you all get the wet sounding Wa9/90? Important point of division or transition between two phases, conditions, etc.
(Could very well be I am the only one this late in finding it, but thought I'd share nontheless.)

3:46 am

ramix

yes i did sprite. i just need one more 9 letter, but i dont know which...and i really really dont want to look at the clues

3:46 am

lynxxx

TY sprite for wa & dr words

3:47 am

2x smelly

2x booklet(s) containing short and abbreviated directions for the contents of the office and Mass of each day in the year

Atalante

4:02 am

ramix: Re9 and Es9 are almost the same.

4:03 am

ramix

um...yeah now i found it! thanks

4:04 am

Atalante

gosh, I'm being stupid today! come back kitty! I can't see these es9 and re9!

4:04 am

sprite

Re9: what you do when you're in a fight and see you are overpowered, past tense.

4:05 am

Atalante

reun-away?

4:05 am

sprite

LOL!

4:05 am

sprite

Yeah, but in more strategic terms.

4:06 am

Atalante

that's a very strategic thing to do! :P

4:06 am

sprite

Absolutely. But no general would put it that way, hihi.

4:07 am

sprite

I can see the newsflash.
"We arrived at the scene, saw there was no freaking way we could win this fight, so we ran away."

4:07 am

Atalante

very Monty Python :)

4:08 am

SueMagee

Wouldn't it be refreshing if that was whawas said, Sprite? (Good holiday?)

4:08 am

SueMagee

*was what was said* for those who speak English.

4:09 am

sprite

Yeah, great holiday! And it would, SueM! Wouldn't that be great, just in plain language. Some truth. Would freak the hell out of some people, I think.

4:10 am

SueMagee

We wouldn't believe it - that's the trouble.

4:10 am

sprite

Monty Python could build a brilliant scene from that, yes!

4:10 am

sherb

well, I'm off to the supermarket before it rains... typical bank holiday! ...see you later, or if not have a good day all... :)

4:11 am

sprite

Bye sherb :)

4:11 am

Atalante

mmmmm chocolate

4:11 am

Atalante

random aside from mention of supermarkets!

4:12 am

Atalante

actually, not chocolate. I want stroopwaffles covered in chocolate

4:12 am

sprite

Argh, site is weird again. I have no words in my list after Te. Script won't work, not even after a dozen retries. Guess I will log off and on and see if that helps.

4:12 am

sprite

stroopwafels... that's a dutch specialty, Ata!

4:12 am

Atalante

I know! I *adore* them!

4:14 am

sprite

Be sure to send me your address some time, I will send you a package of them :)

4:15 am

Atalante

woot! they are such a treat because we can't get hold of them so easily here, though some shops now do sell them. When we were in Vaals a few weeks ago, we ran straight into a supermarket and bought 3 packets LOL and ate them!

4:16 am

sprite

Site is driving me nuts. No words after Ro, after force-refreshes and restarts of FF and logoffs/logons. Now how am I to check my list for forgotten plurals etc?

4:17 am

Atalante

urf I *know*. its doing the same for me

4:19 am

sprite

Okay, I am in IE now and I have the list back. Took a long while though.

4:20 am

Atalante

woot! finally IE does something useful!

4:20 am

sprite

That's a first indeed :)

4:22 am

sprite

I will get you stroopwafels from the market then, they are so fresh, just made in front of your eyes. :)

4:23 am

Atalante

really???? oh *wow*! I've never had fresh ones!

4:24 am

sprite

Yes, they make them when you stand at the stall, just wonderful! And if you lay one on your cup of tea for a bit and eat them then, you will be close to the fresh experience ;)

4:26 am

Atalante

now I'm drooling!

4:26 am

sprite

*when = while

4:26 am

sprite

LOL!

4:30 am

4:46 am

Linda0

4:47 am

wassup

largest one I've seen was in the 500's.

4:47 am

500+ I seem to remember

4:48 am

sprite

I remember a 600+ grid, I think.

4:48 am

Atalante

well you stayed away a long time LOL!

4:48 am

Atalante

why WHY isn't strewth allowed!

4:54 am

sprite

Okay, I have all the Ss and Ts. Checking for forgotten singulars, plurals, verb forms etc is always paying of :)

4:55 am

sprite

Oooohhh, beautiful word, Ata :)

4:55 am

Atalante

its pure Aussie! should be allowed!

4:55 am

sprite

* +f somewhere

4:55 am

sprite

What does it mean? That which is strewn?

4:56 am

Atalante

its a mild swear word type thing. but very mild. like gosh or golly

4:56 am

sprite

Oh yes, it has a nice ring for that :)

4:57 am

sprite

Could easily be misconstrewth though ;)
(Sorry, couldn't control that urge)

4:57 am

Atalante

I'm actually really quite surprised that's not allowed. bad enable!

4:59 am

I am having trouble with a couple of Cs :(

5:09 am

FranMag

i only have 8 out of 22 sprite, i'm pretty sure you have what i have!

5:10 am

Atalante

have you got cr6/33, sprite? that's my only slightly odd one so far

5:10 am

FranMag

thanks atalante!

5:11 am

periwinkle

Atalante may I please have a clue for that cr6/33

5:11 am

sprite

Yes, I have that one. The one that sounds like very mean.

5:11 am

FranMag

peri, rhymes with goodbye cr*** world

5:11 am

Atalante

its an mean type of yarn

5:12 am

periwinkle

thanks Fran and Ata

5:12 am

sprite

LOL, nice clue. Wish they were 4s, but I have no 4s left to find. Makes monkeying harder.

5:12 am

FranMag

yw peri

5:13 am

sprite

Does anyone have all the 8s?

5:13 am

Atalante

there's a weird cr6/21 too

5:13 am

periwinkle

I have a cr6/21

5:13 am

FranMag

lol, i only have 1!

5:14 am

sprite

I think I have that one too, peri and Ata. The one that is almost John CL....

5:14 am

periwinkle

I only have one 8 and no 9's and no 10

5:14 am

Atalante

yup, that's the one

5:14 am

sprite

I am still missing one 8, could be a C.

5:17 am

Atalante

I've got 19/22 Cs, and no 8s out of that lot

5:17 am

Dippnall

cr 8/55 past tense of cr 6/24

5:18 am

Atalante

instantly proved wrong!

5:19 am

FranMag

dippnall, what is the cr6/24 after?

5:19 am

sprite

Oh well, scottish again. I love the sound of it, but it always does me in with babble. For those interested: it is a verbe and it means to oil. We are more acquinted with the Gr-variety.

5:19 am

Dippnall

cr 6/21

5:19 am

sprite

Thanks Dippnall!

5:20 am

Dippnall

yw

5:20 am

Atalante

oh yes, nice word

5:20 am

sprite

Now, one more C, one more T. *sigh*

5:20 am

periwinkle

Dippnall, may I please have a clue for that cr6/24

5:21 am

sprite

periwinkle, try to make the famous movie with John Travolta and Olivia NJ sound very scottish.

5:21 am

Dippnall

cr 6/21 - change last letter to 8th letter

5:22 am

FranMag

got it! thanks sprite!

5:23 am

periwinkle

still working on it but have not found it yet

5:23 am

Atalante

woot! got all the Cs :)

5:23 am

sprite

WTG Ata :)

5:23 am

periwinkle

I know the movie you are referring to sprite but scottish words are hard for me to find

5:24 am

sprite

For me too, peri. Perhaps Dippnall's clue is more clear.

5:24 am

Atalante

you must be missing something fairly obvious, sprite, in the Cs. check all your plurals and past tenses!

5:25 am

sprite

Found it, Ata. Forgotten plural, as usual. Now for that T (starts checking list)

5:25 am

periwinkle

finally found it, thanks sprite and Dippnall

5:25 am

periwinkle

May I have a clue for the 10 please

5:26 am

FranMag

peri, compound word, dull as .... plural

5:26 am

FranMag

it's a di 10 peri

5:26 am

Dippnall

yw di 10/112

5:26 am

sprite

As non-native speaker I can confess without shame that I always thought the Di10 was spelled with -tch- :)

5:27 am

Atalante

thats even duller ...

5:27 am

sprite

Ah, so it exists? That's a relief!

5:27 am

FranMag

lol!

5:27 am

sprite

For those interested in finding the meaning of scottish words, this is a nice site:
http://www.ullans.com/ScotsDicti
onary.html

5:27 am

Atalante

but not as dull as dike***** - is that the Dutch version ;)

5:28 am

periwinkle

the clues for the di10 are not helping me

5:29 am

periwinkle

NM the clues just clicked, found it

5:29 am

Dippnall

great!

5:29 am

FranMag

cool peri

5:29 am

periwinkle

it was your clue, Fran that did it

5:30 am

FranMag

cool peri

5:31 am

periwinkle

I also got a 9 out of that clue, may I have clues for the other 9 please

5:31 am

sprite

lol Ata, should be. We put fingers in the dike when that happens, though...

5:31 am

FranMag

peri, i only have one other 9

5:32 am

periwinkle

could you give me a clue for that one please Fran

5:32 am

sprite

There are almost identical Re9 and Es9.

5:32 am

FranMag

it's ho9/90, another compound word, equine plant

5:33 am

sprite

And a very wet Wa90 (division)

5:33 am

periwinkle

thanks so much Fran

5:35 am

FranMag

got the wa9, thanks sprite!

5:35 am

periwinkle

can't find that wa9 sprite even with your clue

5:36 am

Atalante

wa9 - 9pm in the evening on TV!

5:36 am

periwinkle

your clue is not helping me Ata, but thanks

5:37 am

sprite

Okay, I am missing a T6.
I have: Ta30, Te21, Te18 x 5, Th36, Th33, Ti21 x 2, Tw30.
Does anyone know what I am missing?

5:37 am

FranMag

peri, another compound word, it means the area drained by a river, liquid + small building

5:37 am

sprite

It is a compound, peri. Wet stuff + something to store stuff in.

5:37 am

Atalante

the point where swearing/nudity/whatever is allowed on TV afterwards

5:37 am

periwinkle

sprite I just found it before I saw your clue, thanks

5:37 am

periwinkle

thakns Fran too

5:38 am

sprite

Three minds thinking as one :)

5:38 am

periwinkle

may I please have clues for the re9 and es9

5:38 am

periwinkle

may I please have clues for the re9 and es9

5:39 am

sprite

Re9: what you do when you are in a fight and see your are overpowered and outnumbered... past tense.
Es9: almost identical.

5:39 am

sprite

Anyone on my T6 question? Please?

5:39 am

FranMag

i'm not going to be much help sprite, i have about half of those and none that you don't have.

5:40 am

periwinkle

thanks sprite got the re9 right away with your great clue, still working on the es9

5:40 am

sprite

Exactly the same ending, peri :)

5:40 am

Atalante

sorry sprite, I have the same as you ...

5:41 am

periwinkle

never heard of the es7 that leads to the es9, thanks sprite

5:41 am

PappouTed

hi everyone, what a grid! sprite, I've only just started so won't be of any help for a loooooong time, LOL

5:41 am

FranMag

thanks sprite!

5:42 am

sprite

Lol Pappou, have fun, it is a great grid!

Fireworks! Found the last one, it is Tr6/18, what I give my kids if they have been good.

5:42 am

FranMag

which t on the grid does it start with sprite?

5:42 am

PappouTed

yay, sprite and guess what? I had that word. LOL

5:42 am

Atalante

have you got te + re4/4?

5:42 am

FranMag

a plural!! good job sprite!!

5:43 am

Atalante

lol ty for that sprite!

5:43 am

sprite

It was, as usual, a forgotten plural... *sits down to write 1000 times "I will check for forgotten plurals, singulars, verb forms and so on every time I cannot find a word"*

5:43 am

sprite

See Pappou? You could have helped me! :)

5:44 am

PappouTed

I picked up all the 9s and the 10 from the awesome clues you all gave peri, ty

5:44 am

FranMag

if i wasn't missing so many i could have helped too sprite, i've had that one for a while!!

5:45 am

chiley

Is this some kind of joke??? I don't think I'd better start this grid as I DO have housework, grocery shopping and general living to do today.

5:45 am

sprite

I did not list a single Tr, so you could have known, LOL! But thanks anyway, chatting takes my mind of obsessive searching and sometimes helps me find words as a result, lol.

5:45 am

sprite

Ah chiley, and missing out on this brilliant grid? It is too much fun to let pass :)

5:45 am

PappouTed

hi cliley, good thing it's going to be a rainy day here

5:46 am

FranMag

that's true sprite, should have checked closer, i saw all those THs i was missing and blanked out!

5:47 am

sprite

Nah, not meant as complaint, you are all very helpful all the time :) Just teasing.

5:47 am

FranMag

:-)

5:48 am

sprite

A wooting 7271 points today. That's impressive, lol.

5:48 am

FranMag

wow!

5:48 am

Atalante

wow!

5:49 am

sprite

Some high scoring letters in a big grid, that makes for high points totals indeed :)

5:49 am

FranMag

how can oreo not be a word! isn't it in it's own food group?

5:49 am

sprite

It is, Fran! Enable can be such a miser.

5:50 am

FranMag

:-)

5:51 am

PappouTed

is there something wrong with the ratings page? I don't play for the rankings, but it's strange that I haven't missed a grid in weeks and yet my number went down instead of up

5:52 am

Atalante

they are just generally odd, Ted

5:53 am

sprite

I have this beautiful palindrome, but it is dutch...
"Nelli plaatst op 'n parterretrap 'n pot staalpillen"

No idea, Pappou. Did you finish them all?

5:53 am

herinfernallady

hello

5:53 am

PappouTed

sprite, I can

5:53 am

FranMag

hi infernal

5:53 am

PappouTed

sprite, I can't remember, but I think I finished all but one

5:54 am

herinfernallady

oh my goodness this is huge, hello back fran

5:54 am

FranMag

sprite, what does it mean?

5:54 am

sprite

Not finishing one can bring your ranking down, I believe.

5:54 am

sprite

I have to look up a few words, Fran, back in a bit.

5:54 am

FranMag

not finishing one brings it down a lot!

5:55 am

PappouTed

Oh, I know that, but they usually begin to climb again. Anyway, not a big deal, I was just wondering

5:55 am

herinfernallady

oh i didn't know that

5:56 am

FranMag

it's one of the mysteries of babble pappou!

5:56 am

herinfernallady

is there any suggestions on where to start with this grid?

5:56 am

PappouTed

start from the very beginning, a very good place to start, Sorry, I couldn't resist. LOL

5:56 am

FranMag

pick a word infernal! :-)

5:56 am

PappouTed

I've got the Sound of Music on my mind

5:57 am

FranMag

Sound of Music!

5:57 am

sprite

The palindrome translates as:
"Nelli puts a bottle of iron pills on a ground floor staircase"

5:57 am

FranMag

sounds better in dutch!

5:57 am

herinfernallady

yep i think ill start with the qu as that erks me followed by the re's. Sprite what does that mean?

5:57 am

sprite

"If you play Babble, you begin with A B C"

5:58 am

sprite

Hi lady!

5:58 am

herinfernallady

hello sprite

5:58 am

PappouTed

and if you play sudoku you start with 123, LOL

5:58 am

FranMag

obviously the words were chosen more for the letters than their meaning

5:58 am

herinfernallady

i hate the qus so i think ill get rid of them first

5:59 am

PappouTed

could I have a clue for the at7

5:59 am

FranMag

i usually start with the qus because i like them

5:59 am

sprite

Very true, Fran, it is not a very normal sentence. Why on earth would the girl put a bottle of that stuff on those stairs, right? Anyway, it is a nice one in Dutch ;)

5:59 am

sprite

Pappou: past tense of put in your mouth + people who don't tell the truth.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

my eye keeps going to that spot thats why i start there.

6:00 am

Atalante

perhaps she was a spy, and the bottle contained secret instructions that she was leaving for her unknown contact

6:00 am

PappouTed

ty

6:00 am

SueMagee

PappouTed - I'm having problems with the rankings page and have been for about a month now. Despite finishing every grid for a month I was always one short. I'm always a day late in having the score added to the total - what I scored yesterday won't be added until tomorrow. Strangley enough I'm not bothered about the figures but I looked at them out of interest to fill in a few minutes before the flip one morning and now that I know they're wrong they annoy me.

6:00 am

sprite

LOL Ata!

6:01 am

FranMag

there you go atalante, that makes sense to me

6:01 am

6:02 am

sprite

There are 3 of them, sha.

6:02 am

PappouTed

thanks, sue, I'm not bothered by it either, but was curious because one day I finished it for example and my ranking went down.

6:02 am

sha

its one of the last 2 sprite

6:02 am

FranMag

my eyes are starting to droop, going to do QP and then go to sleep.

One is a schedule, sha. The other one is plural of the Ro5.10. Flowery price thing.

6:03 am

I've done that several times PappouTed. I emailed DrG but nothing has been done. It a good job I only play for the fun!

You do, amanda. It is really a lot of fun, very rewarding grid.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

i have the 'cheat' list as i call it as this many words id get in a tangle

6:25 am

pam

Hi, all--414 words????? Holy moly, babbleonians!!!!'

6:26 am

herinfernallady

hello pam, i said that 2

6:26 am

herinfernallady

only it was more r rated

6:26 am

Uneaixoise

morning, all! 140 words in not much time . . . at least it's a start . . . off for java . . . back in a mo

6:26 am

pam

ata and pappou--didn't i just "see" you? Wow, how time flies..

6:27 am

Atalante

I was just thinking that, pam!

6:27 am

amandacath

Pam! You were the one with the country music concert (I couldn't remember). How was it?

6:28 am

pam

lol, amanda!

6:28 am

pam

It was a lot of fun, though a VERY white crowd, which is really weird

6:29 am

pam

And, the tailgating was fun, except our very pregnant friend was hit by a flying tomato....

6:29 am

amandacath

Oh dear! tomato-induced labor?

6:30 am

pam

LOL--no labor, thankfully, as she is 7.5 weeks out

6:31 am

sprite

What is tailgating?

6:31 am

amandacath

That's good. Guess she's probably an easy target, though

6:31 am

herinfernallady

clue please for the ce 6/21

6:32 am

pam

tailgating is when people arrive 4-8 hours early for an event--ususally a football game or concert--and grill, and drink and hang out, sprite

6:32 am

pam

don't have it, herinfern

6:32 am

herinfernallady

got it and that sounds fun pam apart from the tomato

6:33 am

herinfernallady

pam that tailgating bit sounds like daytona 500 in field

6:33 am

amandacath

herinfern - if I recall correctly, its legal or archaic (or legal archaic?) for 'sure, definite'

6:33 am

pam

yeah, the tomato was not the best, but then, no one was hurt!

6:34 am

amandacath

Sprite - the word 'tailgating' comes from the picnickers having pick-up trucks, putting down the tailgate and sitting/eating/drinking from there

6:35 am

Atalante

ok, I'm off to try and get some sleep for a bit. 283 words down! bbl!

6:35 am

pam

cya, ata!!!!

6:35 am

amandacath

see ya Ata!

6:35 am

herinfernallady

amanda i got it. Its shortened latin and im crap at latin, thats very interesting about 'tailgating' as here it means to sit on some ones butt when driving

6:36 am

herinfernallady

nite ata

6:36 am

Atalante

(same here, tailgating that is)

6:36 am

amandacath

it means that too - all in the context

6:38 am

herinfernallady

ahh context as soon as pam said tailgaiting i thought acting silly on the highway and slowing traffic in a safe way

6:38 am

amandacath

guess that could be fun too

6:40 am

herinfernallady

fun to do at lights if someone has raced you to the lights only for you to pass them then be in front of them and take of slow so they cant get through. I don't drive and my girl pal did it once when we were cut of and her lane ended and we got in front

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Pam how long was your concert, whats the details of what you do? Interested hence asking?

6:42 am

pam

lol, amanada--didnt want to ramble on...but, since you asked...

6:42 am

pam

A duo opened at 7:15 or so, forget their names

6:43 am

pam

Then, at 8 or so, Joe Nichols (of "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" fame came on. He was very good live and if you are into guys, a hottie!!!

6:43 am

sprite

Thanks for the explanation :)

6:45 am

pam

TobyToby Keith went on from 9-11. Lots of booms and bangs interspersed with come great singing. Not too much of his all hail the red, white, and blue crap so I didn't have to clamp down my tongue too much

6:45 am

herinfernallady

brb must take pie out of the oven and put on the heater

6:45 am

pam

It was a lot of fun. My partner and I went with three friends, and had a blast.

6:46 am

amandacath

Well, I'm glad there was no patriotism-overdose and you were able to enjoy the music and the fun!

6:46 am

12:21 pm

ch1212

Dr_G -- I've had trouble loading today -- I get a message box that says a 'script' is trying to load and is clogging up things, so either partial list or I hit 'no' and let it load --- takes along time

12:21 pm

Dr_God

Is the script error something new in the past day or two?

12:21 pm

chj

nrkiii...i get that message everytime i load babble

12:21 pm

12:21 pm

12:22 pm

ch1212

Dr_G - yes, I've never seen it before.

12:22 pm

nrkii

I've never seen it before

12:22 pm

featherbee

hmm, is that good or bad?

12:22 pm

Dr_God

Weird

12:22 pm

12:23 pm

Aloyisius

12:23 pm

Atalante

12:23 pm

smithchick

Today was the first time that I got it, but I've got my whole list.

12:23 pm

chj

and when i get it i just click continue...sometimes it comes back on 5 or six times before the word list and chat box load

12:23 pm

Jacula

Dr_God - I've been getting the unreponsive script message every since the site changed from it's old, simpler form - ages, in other words.

12:23 pm

Dr_God

To get rid of the error on Firefox, type "about:config" into the address field and then change the dom.max_script_run_time setting to 20.

12:23 pm

Dorens

same here..had it forever on firefox...at busy times, I get it and have to keep hitting continue....but it is usually when there are loads of people on

12:23 pm

chj

buts its inconsistent...sometimes it loads without the message

12:23 pm

smithchick

Hey Jacula and Dorens!

12:24 pm

Dorens

hey smith

12:24 pm

faeriekae

Dr G I was here for the flip and had no error problems

Jacula

Thanks Dr_G. I'll try that.

12:25 pm

faeriekae

{{{{Smith}}}} How are you ?

12:25 pm

Dr_God

Well, it appears the changes I made to the site in the past couple days have calmed the server down considerably, but it also seems more people are getting the script error when loading the main page. Hmmm...

12:25 pm

Inge2

Working fine here on Firefox on a Mac

12:25 pm

Jacula

Hi everyone. Can't stop long... dinner to prepare and all that...

12:25 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, jac!

12:26 pm

smithchick

I'm great, how about you?

12:26 pm

nrkii

Dr G, just today, not yesterday for me

12:26 pm

Dorens

i actually have gotten it less (firefox/mac)

12:26 pm

nrkii

I figured it was because the grid is so big today

12:26 pm

faeriekae

I always use Firefox and love it. Especially the "all in one sidebar" so you can see the grid and Licketys list at the same time

12:26 pm

Atalante

hi Jac!

12:26 pm

Dr_God

nrkii-
That probably has something to do with it.

12:26 pm

smithchick

Well, I got the error message only when I refreshed to update my icon. The good news is I haven't had to refresh for any problems.

12:27 pm

featherbee

ok, off to work on word builder some more. later!

12:27 pm

stidmama

UH! 414 words? Dr_God -- what were you thinking? ;-)

12:27 pm

faeriekae

12:28 pm

faeriekae

I Stid

12:28 pm

Uneaixoise

howdy, stid!

12:28 pm

Aloyisius

Dr. G... do I have to prefix the "about:config" in the address bar?

12:28 pm

Dorens

me too smith, but this is a bit much

12:28 pm

Dr_God

Aloyisius-
Just type about:config

12:28 pm

Dr_God

You'll get a list of settings you can change

12:28 pm

Aloyisius

ok, will do. Thanks again.

12:29 pm

nrkii

hi stid!

12:29 pm

stidmama

Well, I was hoping to have other things to do, but find I need to spend most of the rest of the day -- resting. So I guess this will be a good challenge.

12:29 pm

Dr_God

I just don't know how to fix it in Explorer other than to recommend that you switch to Firefox. ;)

12:29 pm

ypsigirl

faeriekae, how do yo get licketys list in the sidebar?

12:29 pm

nrkii

12:29 pm

stidmama

go nrk go!

12:30 pm

Dorens

it's actually kind of nice grid, once you decide to devote half your waking hours to it

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

I'm glad you saw it, I thought of you when I posted it because it seemed like something you'd like

12:31 pm

chj

im too stupid for this stuff...i have no idea what a sidebar is faer...please illuminaate

12:31 pm

faeriekae

and for the sidebar there is a little wheel "next to Source Code" and it will load Licketys for you each time you use it if you click to remember last opened site

12:31 pm

stidmama

yep. I am pretty easy to figure out, aren't I?

12:32 pm

chj

and dr. god i dont know what you mean about typing about:config in the address ...where...how?

12:32 pm

stidmama

chj, I think your icon is before my time (and I am not that young...)

12:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

chj did you ever say what show the cion is from?

12:32 pm

CiociaJudy

Dr_God, I changed to 20 but it's still happening. Is it possible to use a higher number?

12:32 pm

stidmama

12:33 pm

I am being serenaded by trumpet music at the moment...

2:06 pm

mat616

how do you get lists?

2:06 pm

Atalante

I guess about an hour and a half, so that it has a nice long time to cook and evolve! And cobbler sounds perfect!

2:08 pm

stidmama

mat, there are two lists: Lickety's List has a direct link at the bottom of this page. BJ's list is at Babbler's Anonymous, "General" section, "stats"

4:35 pm

Vicuna

What I mean, hurshy, is that the town where I live is become so ridiculously expensive that only super rich people can buy houses here. I would rather have it open to people at a variety of income levels. It would be nice if there were no poor people needing housing, but since there are, and they do, I wish it were more available to them in my town.

4:35 pm

who is nominated?

6:39 pm

helenkeller

:( jani & cg

6:40 pm

nrkii

well, the bad news is that the yankees need 6 runs to win in the 9th, the worse news is they'd then have to not allow more runs in the bottom of the 9th, but the GOOD news is that arod made the last out last inning, so he might not be involved

6:40 pm

snppngtrtle

se 6/21 after ogler?

6:40 pm

whitewitch1111

this is too bad

6:40 pm

ramix

re 4/5 comes after re7/48 (to stitch again) pls

6:41 pm

helenkeller

they had a food comp yesterda7 & cg got to eat - he ate so much he couldn't move - some are on slop, i think & the rest can only eat meat & alcohol for 5 days, again, i think that's it

6:41 pm

chj

but he could be the key at bat with the score tied and the bases loaded

6:41 pm

6:43 pm

whitewitch1111

sorry what

6:43 pm

helenkeller

whitewitch - will & boog have told her they would help throw the pov her way, but usually the case is that if they are talking then they are lying - also since erika put up cg & jani - dani is suspicious that erika has involvement with ct - cause that would have been the obvious ploy - put up at least 1 from chilltown

Woulf, when my kids were still pretty much toddlers we made a house rule that worked. Didn't matter whose toy it was, if they argued over it, it went "up" on top of the fridge. Only took a few repetitions to convince them I meant it...
