sprite

Morning all

metaleather

hiya sprite

1:31 am

metaleather

what about you forelica?

1:32 am

metaleather

oooooooo, I want Ornith's list ;oD

1:32 am

Ornith

metal: a group of 7

1:32 am

sprite

Anyone who thinks babble is trying to tell us something, by putting the mincing word in every grid?

1:32 am

froelica

me too! um.... lets see, i cant find the 8 for the life of me

1:33 am

metaleather

I got it thanks to someone's clue earlier

1:33 am

MVA

morning all

1:33 am

metaleather

lemme see if I can give a decent clue for you

1:33 am

sprite

Hi MVA

1:33 am

metaleather

mornin' MVA

1:33 am

Ornith

the 8 someone else gave a good clue for: tense of ex6/36, contains a religious group

1:34 am

metaleather

that's the one Ornith, how'd you do that so fast

1:34 am

Ornith

I type real fast :P

1:34 am

froelica

ohhhhh!!! why didn't i think of that?? (probably cause it sounds made-up, like many babble words!)...

1:35 am

metaleather

yer my heeero Ornith, I finally, thanks to your clue, got that H word

1:35 am

sprite

It is a STUPID word, imho.

1:35 am

Ornith

yw metal!

1:35 am

metaleather

one thing that puzzles me about some of the words it to go to the definition only to have nothing there

1:36 am

Ornith

there tend to be quite a few of those, sprite! and today we have a crappy one too :P

1:36 am

Ornith

yeah, the dictionary it uses is a little odd, metal.

1:36 am

metaleather

LOL, hep, we do Ornith

1:36 am

rolin

he6/27..?..i can fiure the beginning but not the ending

1:36 am

metaleather

1:36 am

froelica

1:37 am

MVA

th ornith for the ex8!

1:37 am

sprite

metal, this is a very helpful site for those missing defs: http://www.infoplease.com/

1:37 am

metaleather

think a word for a group of three, then adapt...

1:37 am

Ornith

thank, um... whoever it was I got the clue from originally, MVA

1:37 am

metaleather

ty sprite

1:38 am

Ornith

hmm. ac6 anyone?

1:38 am

sprite

But I agree, those questionmarks that lead to nothing are also stupid.

1:38 am

metaleather

sorry, don't have that one yet O

1:39 am

sprite

'tata' is SO a word. When my kids were small they tataed all the time.

1:39 am

mymuseisme

ac6 = high card and spanish for day

1:39 am

Ornith

how about the ae? words that start with vowels always screw me up

1:42 am

jillibus

same as 'erse'

1:42 am

sprite

Not specifically, Tella, but you are welcome to the conversation :) We think 'tataed' and 'eeped' should be allowed. And the 8 shouldn't.

1:43 am

Ornith

I think I tried that one too, froelica. Or maybe opeate.

1:43 am

froelica

yup, jilli

1:43 am

sprite

I think 'erse' is what is left of your arse after the D4 mincing word we get in every grid these days.

1:43 am

I still think the weirdest is the -man words. It's got every weird compound ever, but not "hitman"!

And a squeeking singing voice... and alltogether very stupid too.

2:59 am

renfield

razor's edge

2:59 am

Frances

froelica

hi stidmama. We found out for sure that we're not moving to Seattle, but instead to Massachusetts. I've never been to the eastern U.S. so this will be quite a change. We leave Saturday, so I'm scrambling like mad trying to pack and handle logitics.

4:09 pm

Deeha

I worked in a school once believe me school without kids is every teachers dream!!!!

I helped my mother in her classroom this morning, getting the last few things she needed done before tomorrow.

I agree, deeha -- my son-in-law teaches 8th grade science, and puts in 60+ hour weeks.

4:14 pm

4:18 pm

stidmama

inge, something similar is happening in Seattle, where they are trying to figure out which neighborhood schools need closing... there are some parents who are really hysterical; but extra teachers have been decreased so that at least isn't an issue at the moment.

4:19 pm

hurshy

it sure is a shame for his wife and kids... but if it had happened 20 or 25 years from now... i mean, i really can't think of a more fitting way for him to go - i'm sure it's the kind of death he would have wanted.

4:19 pm

Deeha

He was so annoying but compulsive watchin

4:19 pm

hurshy

like how klingons want to die in battle.

4:19 pm

ch1212

I am not a teacher, but have helped my mother in her classroom since I was a teen (that's when she returned to teaching) and have tutored many people in Language Arts and Math/Science over the years.

Jacula

If I'd have had a camera handy on Sunday morning I could have captured my 'naughty boy/hunting cat' trying to drown my 'had too much of life's troubles so now I'm a house cat' cat... Obviously in a mischievious mood, he'd already tried to trip me up as I walked down the garden pa4/6 from the rabbit shed, and then he'd skipped to the top of the steps down to hook my ankle in the hope of making me fall (little sod!)... just after that, I saw him creep up on homely cat (Kira) and shove her head underwater whilst she was drinking from a tall blue pot I have on the patio... she leapt forward (and she's not one for leaping these days, believe me!) and landed in my arms dripping underneath! As I dried her off with kitchen roll, he just sat there and grinned. I think we both wanted to thump him really!

8:04 pm

jillibus

sorry, stid, won't be here - will do catchup

I was able to enjoy, though, by using Lickety's list which she had NOT usurped! We're still laughing about it.

9:23 pm

But I was able to help Tom figure out what he needed to do to finish the roof, so I might have a complete (and raintight) roof by bedtime.

9:23 pm

stidmama

oh, I just figured you were speaking parseltongue, inge! LOL

9:23 pm

ScoutsMom

9:27 pm

Jacula

Thank you Scoutsmom.

9:28 pm

stidmama

theme tomorrow is old fashiioned candy

9:29 pm

9:29 pm

Hi Stid! How goes?

9:29 pm

stidmama

hi riemann, it goes. My Tom is finishing the roof tonight. You?

9:29 pm

ScoutsMom

I may not be on long; phone keeps ringing and ringing.

9:30 pm

riemann

Goes well. Mom may want me out for a long holiday in Dec. If so, I'll need to take off and go places ....

9:30 pm

inge

got to empty dishwasher, put laundry into dryer and go to bed. Gute Nacht

9:31 pm

stidmama

Things are always so chaotic when someone dies. Seems that after my grandmother died a few years ago there were all kinds of phone calls and letters and things...

9:31 pm

stidmama

gute nacht, inge! bis morgen!

9:31 pm

lbdawger

i'm so sorry about the passing of your friend mtnjack. i didn't know him, but i send my condolences to all who did

9:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, inge.

9:32 pm

stidmama

How long a holiday, riemann? Would we get to see you or would said holiday preclude "the little people"?

9:32 pm

ScoutsMom

Glad y'all understand...it's difficult, too, that he had just moved away. Trying to coordinate things in his hometown as well as here. Two different places, different lives, different 'families.'

9:32 pm

Jacula

I'm off to bed now, and not before time!

9:32 pm

ScoutsMom

'night, jacula, inge.

9:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

RIP mtn.RIP.xxx

9:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

scout's mom: she is so grown up now!

9:33 pm

riemann

Mom's talking like 3 weeks to a month. Definitely time to get in the boat and travel to Lilliput. I'd also want to see Mountains close up again.

9:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

night lbd

9:34 pm

ScoutsMom

Stid...no, he just got a new job and moved closer to his mom; wanted a fresh start. He was sick when he left but didn't know how very serious it was.

9:35 pm

stidmama

Oh gee, scoutsmom, that really stinks. I bet his mom is devastated... He was really young.

9:35 pm

ScoutsMom

Temple: Scout just turned three. Potty trained, singing whole songs, riding a tricycle...just an amazing kid. I think she got even smarter in the few days I was gone.

9:35 pm

stidmama

*showers of happiness for Scout's growing upness*

9:36 pm

ScoutsMom

Stid: he was 37. Too young for anyone. Guess there's never enough time...

9:36 pm

stidmama

riemann -- you will give people the impression that I am really short! (when in fact I am almost normal size... you are just way tall!)

9:36 pm

Blaze

scoutsmom... did he have cancer or something?

9:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is a big difference - two and three! i'ts a fun time if a bit trying...hi blaze

9:37 pm

ScoutsMom

her favorite movie/CD is The Sound of Music. Sings 'A Demale Deer" and the song with the puppets. A joy to hear her yodel in the car.

9:37 pm

stidmama

No, that's probably true, scoutsmom -- we have so many things we want to do, and no matter how old we get I think there are still things we could have done if only we had more time. My grandmother was 92 and never managed to learn Spanish (though it was her goal for years)

9:38 pm

Blaze

Hi temple ow.... I just came back on the grid to finish off 24 words and trying to phathom the news about Mtn Jck

9:38 pm

ScoutsMom

Blaze: he had problems with his liver/kidneys. Went undiagnosed for too long.

9:38 pm

Blaze

blessings and wellness to his family and friends...

9:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry - brb

9:39 pm

riemann

Hey, Stid. *You* were the one who mentioned "little people". And we've had a LONG agreement that neither of us starts the needles unless we want to see the other do the knitting.

9:39 pm

stidmama

poor mtnjock -- those are really uncomfortable when they go bad.

9:39 pm

Blaze

rie... that is a good saying... never heard that one before

9:40 pm

stidmama

But I was speaking in terms of the paesani, not lilliputians... and you knew it! *sigh*

9:40 pm

riemann

thanks, blaze. New saying to me, too.

9:40 pm

stidmama

*picks up knitting needles*

9:40 pm

ScoutsMom

The hospice was essential in helping manage his pain meds, and his partner was amazing. We should all have a love like that in our lives.

9:41 pm

stidmama

Hospice is a blessing. To be able to go with some measure of comfort, surrounded by people you love instead of in a hospital room... I have been so grateful to the people who do that kind of work.

9:42 pm

ScoutsMom

I work in the corp. office of a hospice, and I think those nurses are incredible people.

9:44 pm

ScoutsMom

Okay...I hate to run, but have to return some more calls while the Babe's in bed. My email's in my profile, and address info on babbler's anonymous if anyone wants to contact me... thanks again for your positive thoughts today (and icon tribute, Stid). Y'all have a good evening.

9:44 pm

stidmama

{{{scoutsmom}}} be well. pass our love on to his family, please.

10:32 pm

Robinskj

ok, I guess I don't understand ae5/12... I got the word (thanks Mayne Girl), but why is that 12? looks like 6 by my counting

10:32 pm

MayneGuy

5 letter words x 2

10:33 pm

libarebel

a six letter word is worth twice its face value; a 5- letter word is twice...

10:33 pm

Robinskj

gotcha... thx again Mayne girl

10:33 pm

libarebel

six= 3 times, sorry

10:33 pm

MayneGuy

yw Rob

10:34 pm

MayneGuy

see you all at the flip

10:34 pm

Basically, subtract 3 from the length of the word to get the multiplier. And Qu words are one longer than the number of tiles.

10:40 pm

ac4/5 - a Latin version of a law or how you would describe somebody on the stage with an accent, maybe. I could use help with some of the p's

ty ronbinskj

10:42 pm

libarebel

what a word to illustrate my point...

10:42 pm

Robinskj

np, least I could do

10:44 pm

Robinskj

ta 6/21?

10:45 pm

metaleather

ta6/21 ta + abbrev. for Physical Education + a repetition of the first two letters

10:45 pm

libarebel

ta 6/21-- sounds like a lush, stiff material w/ a pee

10:47 pm

Robinskj

ok, dumb ? -- you can repeat letters within a word? boggle doesn't let you do that

10:47 pm

brandyjack

no, you can't repate them, but in this case there are two sets...

10:48 pm

Robinskj

ok, just makin' sure

10:48 pm

libarebel

not the same tile, only if letter is on another tle too

10:48 pm

metaleather

sorry I didn't explain it better

10:48 pm

brandyjack

the two sets are in the upper left corner, but they are hard to see nonetheless....

10:49 pm

Robinskj

meta -- I got the word from your clue, I just couldnt' figger out how to form it on the puzzle... I finally saw it... eyes must be tired

10:49 pm

brandyjack

unlike boggle, there is something about babble where the letters are invisible. I always type a word even if I think it is a phantom. Because it may be sitting on the other side of the puzzle twisted like a dogs breakfast...

10:50 pm

Robinskj

lol

10:50 pm

metaleather

I don't understand BrandyJack... invisible letters?

10:50 pm

libarebel

that is so true, bj!

10:51 pm

libarebel

the mystery of the brain...

10:51 pm

DMGershwin

any clue for the 2nd se 6/21?

10:52 pm

brandyjack

Yep. is psychological thing. Everyone sees the P in the middle of the second row, no one sees the one in the end of the 4th.

10:52 pm
