It worked pretty well for the Cardinals on Monday night...although the Bears found a way to win with 2 minutes and change left. Or should I say the Cardinals found a way to lose...

12:11 am

debbinla

that was quite the game

12:12 am

helenkeller

the bears don't need an offense, they have multi-purpose defence

12:12 am

Douglas

They were showing Dennis Green's tantrum on ESPN the next day, and I didn't realize Chicago had won. I was thinking to myself, "Hmm, for someone whose team won, he sure seems upset..."

dennis green is a prefect example of the problem with affirmative action - blames offensive coordinator for that loss & fires him ---- this all after screwing up majorly with the enormous talent pool he had with the vikings, robbed many of super bowl rings, i believe

If anyone's interested in recipes, check out Babbler's Anonymous--the Recipe section which is under Other Interests. I just finished putting up a bunch more spice/seasoning/herb mix recipes and about 125 fall/winter soup recipes

3:48 am

metaleather

so far, the spice recipes are A-G. I'm working on the others and should have them up soon.

3:56 am

Jacula

Good morning metal. My, you have been busy! Glad to see someone saying they tried and enjoyed a recipe. It's always nice to have feedback, isn't it?

3:57 am

metaleather

it is indeed. kind of like seeing a child do well in school.

3:57 am

Jacula

Good analogy, metal.

3:58 am

Jacula

I was going to put some sauce recipes on but it'll have to wait until after my holiday next week.

3:58 am

4:01 am

metaleather

it's a whopper today alright... not too sure about the good or bad yet. I'm not that far into it yet.

4:01 am

Jacula

It'll have to wait, metal, because I don't have the time to type them up on computer before my holiday. (I usually only post my own recipes or ones I have tried.) Not even sure I'll have time to Babble today! Got the weekly shopping to do, a casserole to get going when I get back and the local amateur dramatic society's play to see tonight. Packing tomorrow, etc. LOL

4:02 am

FranMag

of course i started anyway.

4:02 am

Jacula

Fran - Thanks re the dancer. I've not committed myself to the grid other than on paper so far.

Hi all - just popping in -haven't had much time to chat this week. My son moved back home last week & have had decorating & 3 upset under 7s to deal with! Life has been a little fraught to say the least! To add insult to injury I looked up at my kitchen ceiling on Monday morning & spotted a suspicious looking stain which provrd to be a leaking bath waste pipe! Still not fixed as our insurers as the gas co. ^ the plumbers are unable to get synchronised! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4:03 am

FranMag

oh no snowy!! i don't even know where to begin!

4:03 am

Jacula

Aw, poor snowy! ((HUGS))

4:08 am

The children are settling down too. I think that when they realise that very little will change certainly for the short term they will be better. They are still coming here while their mum is at work.

4:08 am

FranMag

please say it's the same for stubborn three-year olds jac!

4:09 am

snowyowl

It is Fran! My son had terrible tantrums & was a picky eater until he was 18 -now he still has the occasional tantrum but he eats everything! LOL

4:09 am

Jacula

Fran - I'm imagining a world of adults with 3-year olds' mentality... hmm... Parliament? Err... I'll shut up! LOL

4:09 am

FranMag

4:12 am

FranMag

4:12 am

Jacula

4:12 am

Hello Wolvie - it's a big grid and looking so unlikely to yield that number of words that I'm doing my words in Lickety's first.

6:10 am

ARB

6:11 am

whoa. Now I am worried. I usually break out lickety for the last few, think I'll break it out early. :-)

6:11 am

ARB

Hi wolvie -- dive in, the water's not freezing

6:11 am

ARB

I managed without a list for the first 160 words

6:12 am

Haz1558

It's just that I know that I have limited time today and would rather enjoy finding the words I can than fret too much about not finding the hidden ones.

6:13 am

ARB

I know that feeling, of trying to get everything in in less than enough time.

6:13 am

Wolvie

okay - will not do list right off - just changed my icon to go with today's theme...

6:14 am

pida 1

Nice icon, Wolvie, was mine the one that made you think on ents.......

6:15 am

Wolvie

loved yours pida - so kept to my star trek theme - you did inspire me. :-)

6:23 am

pida 1

You must be a longtime fan of Trek, Wolvie. My daughter just told me which episode your icon was from (the cage). I sure don't remember it......

6:23 am

Wolvie

I am and I do pida. I watched it when if first came out - admittedly, i was in early grade school, but still - I have been a fan for as long as it has been around. :-)

6:25 am

pida 1

Well, back to the grid. The ur's are killing me

6:26 am

Wolvie

haven't started on those yet - decided to tackle the w's - have fun!

6:27 am

kthdsn

I have 5ur's so far

6:27 am

spanner

I am so impressed, that you are so methodical. I am more random, which probably explains why I am rubbish at this!!!!

6:28 am

Haz1558

Everybody has their own way of working. Do what feels comfortable for you.

6:28 am

Wolvie

is that for me spanner? I'm not usually this way - it's just I'm thinking I need to be today. I am also seeing other words and adding them as I go, of course.

6:30 am

kthdsn

I keep trying to find words beginning with that W in the bottom corner oops

6:30 am

spanner

The only things that really jump out at me are nonsense words, such as zitty (yesterday) which i still think sHOULD be a word!!!!

6:30 am

Wolvie

I've tried that a bit as well, kth. :-)

6:31 am

kthdsn

spanner keep trying, half the words usually are nonsense!

6:37 am

kthdsn

ooh some more ur's jumped out at me then :)

6:39 am

ARB

Anyone need any help before I get on with my other life?

6:40 am

kthdsn

can I have the c's from the bottom tile please?

6:40 am

Wolvie

appreciate the offer ARB, but I have only just gotten started, so I don't know what I need... hmm - maybe the u's from the top?

6:42 am

kthdsn

wolvie there's a us6/24 which sounds like something really annoying beginning with N, but missing a couple of letters

6:43 am

Wolvie

thanks kth - that sounds like the one I was looking for. :-)

6:43 am

6:59 am

Charm

good morning!

6:59 am

Wolvie

hi charm

6:59 am

good morning all!!!

6:59 am

wurdy, I just hit 100 words, and I think I'm going to break out the list as well

6:59 am

Scrabbler

Well, I'll dive in and find some words before I leave for work, then return to night. My goal with big grids = 50%.

6:59 am

Haz1558

It's really more that I don't want to start entering the words in the word list and then have to put myself under pressure to finish. Putting them in Lickety's gives you the 'pleasure' of the grid without the pressure of having to finish once you have started.

It happens to all of us, and all you can do is apologize and laugh. The really funny part is when you enter a non-word that is ridiculous and you end up embarrassed.

Scrabbler, was just reading the chat ... Our whole family were Reds fans in the 70's, seems like we spent most of the days at the ball park. I really like Johnny Bench, too. But those days are long gone. We still attend some games but not like we did growing up.

Tony Perez, Don Gullett, Pete Rose, Bobby Tolan, ....I subscribed to Sports Illustrated for the 1st time in 7th grade. I played catcher in high school softball because I wanted to be like Johnny Bench.

wurdygurl

I grew up on him...my mother loved him

9:36 am

kthdsn

9:37 am

Haz1558

de7/36 - can either be plural edicts (de6/24)

9:38 am

abe79

evanadine- those underwater pics are wonderful

9:38 am

Haz1558

or de7/36 - as with the preceding de6/24 - but with a vowel inserted within the word

9:38 am

EvaNadine

all of his work is breathtaking, but i tend to be most fond of the dance + underwaters series...

9:38 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning, ea5/10 the last one is driving me crazy, I even went to a2z and it wasn't there. Please help

9:38 am

Haz1558

9:39 am

EvaNadine

9:39 am

abe79

the colors are so vivid, i like the one with the clowns.

9:39 am

Haz1558

ea4/10 - plural French waters. Think of perfume (*** de cologne or toilette and tack a high scoring letter on the end)

9:40 am

cauzneffct

thanks for the Ds

9:42 am

Dr_God

Is anyone using IE 7.0 yet? If so, is Babble okay?

9:42 am

Marc Freeman

OH I have been looking for ea5/10. Thanks Got it

9:42 am

Haz1558

So a2z is exonerated!

9:43 am

cauzneffct

either of the en 6/21s?

9:43 am

Haz1558

en6/21 - en plus a vowel followed by a nervous twitch

9:43 am

gailinrb

9:44 am

hootowl

9:44 am

Haz1558

9:44 am

harpjane

nice T shirt, god!

9:45 am

mab

don't know what i'm using, dr., as my computer magically updates itself (which I hate), but things look fine.

9:46 am

Dr_God

I guess if no one has had problems, I'm guessing Babble is fine under IE 7. My fingers are crossed...

9:47 am

cauzneffct

thanks

9:47 am

gailinrb

makes it tough to type w/crossed fingers ;)

9:47 am

kthdsn

dr god I heard that windows update won't send out ie7 until early next month, you might want to ask again then

9:47 am

Cherrypop

Dr is there a final list of words found every day?

9:49 am

Haz1558

Cherrypop - if you look in the archives for any particular day, find the players at the top of the list, click on any of their profiles and a word list will appear.

9:49 am

Dr_God

Cherrypop-
There is a link at the very top of an archived puzzle that lists all the words for that puzzle.

9:49 am

Cherrypop

Thanks Haz

9:50 am

Dr_God

kthdsn-
Good point. I'll ask again when it makes its way into Windows Update.

9:50 am

Cherrypop

Great game! Best since Upwords! Thanks Dr

9:51 am

wurdygurl

dr. God - you should make this into a book like those sodoku books...that way I can take them during my running around

9:51 am

VanTheMan

I've never been able to see the archives properly

9:52 am

VanTheMan

I click the date for a particular puzzle and Firefox gets an error

9:52 am

pida 1

I don't think I'll have a problem with EI7, I'm still using Windows 98

9:52 am

kthdsn

lol pida thats funny

9:52 am

Dr_God

VanTheMan-
Those are large, long pages, so I can see either a slower computer or a slower internet connection causing the page to crap out.

9:52 am

wacokid

using IE7 right now. works fine.

9:53 am

pida 1

Haz1558

Have a great time - and don't offer to pay for too many meals out! I've been wondering how you and your wife were getting along.

9:56 am

spellit

All scans seem clear after her op but she still has to go through chemo and radiotherapy

9:57 am

Cherrypop

On my prayer list spellit

9:57 am

Haz1558

That probably won't be pleasant but at least you can be a big support to her. We'll be thinking about you.

9:57 am

spellit

Thanks Hazel - much appreciated

9:57 am

spellit

Thanks too cherrypop - prayer has been vital

9:58 am

mab

raelite

10:02 am

cauzneffct

10:03 am

cauzneffct

thanks remluc...it aint easy being a Cubs fan these days. Well or any days in the last 98 years

10:04 am

remluc

cauzneffct - try living with one! I think it's worse than actually being one! ha ha. At least he has his Bears although monday was quite stressful. :)

10:05 am

EspritdJean

Cubs fans never die, no matter what happens with the team

10:05 am

raelite

forgive me, rem, but why can't you wear crocs on escalators?

10:05 am

EspritdJean

but at least we got da Bears

10:05 am

remluc

raelite - they had some news report on Good Morning America that they can get "sucked"into the sides of the stairs - some little girl got injured.

10:06 am

remluc

I think she might have lost her whole toe.

10:06 am

raelite

oh...so my dad's size 12 clodhoppers should be ok...good to know!

10:07 am

remluc

raelite - I would think so. :) But it's better to be safe than sorry - so I'm glad you can pass on the warning. :)

10:07 am

raelite

lol...he wears those ugly things everywhere....

10:08 am

abe79

thanks for the warning remluc. i love my crocs, though they are homely

10:08 am

remluc

my dad does too! He actually wore out a pair and had to buy new ones.

10:08 am

raelite

oh no! I hope that dfoesn't happen....his are wearing out quickly...

10:08 am

raelite

I'm worried he might get psychedellic orange ones

10:10 am

abe79

celebrity chef Mario Batali is always photographed in his bright orange crocs

10:10 am

remluc

The orange ones are terrible! :) My dad wears the "stylish" tan ones. (my dad's an accountant so I use the term "stylish" loosely. I love giving him a bad time)

10:11 am

abe79

my mom has red ones ( i bought them, per her request) and she calls them her "clown s hoes"

10:11 am

raelite

rofl...my dad's are khaki green. I can't decide if it's a step up, down, or paralell to the birkenstocks he used to wear though

10:12 am

abe79

hmmm, i hadn't thought about that- the birkenstocks vs crocs issue...

10:13 am

10:16 am

ch1212

no. the 6 is ce + what the sun does each a.m.

10:16 am

wurdygurl

again, I thank you

10:17 am

raelite

the way I see it is the birks made his toes visible (bad) but the crocs are just so big ... so where is the line, you know?

10:17 am

wurdygurl

going out to garden....bbl unless it rains

10:17 am

stidmama

hello rae! haven't seen you for a few days. hi all! how's the grid today?

10:18 am

raelite

hi stid :) are you enjoying the rain?

10:19 am

abe79

bye Wurdy. hi Stidmama

10:19 am

stidmama

it's been lovely, rae! the air is a "full" color this morning -- you know how the yellow and orange leaves reflect back off the moisture in the air, and the clouds hold it all in? totally gorgeous.

10:19 am

bunnyvicious

ac 6/21 please?

10:20 am

remluc

rae - at least crocs can be "hosed" off to clean them up. Plus, my dad insists on wearing socks with sandals, so the Crocs are much better in that sense too. :)

10:20 am

raelite

it is pretty....very foggy this morning though, my ddrive to work was downright trecherous! it was a real pea-souper!

10:20 am

ch1212

ac + opp of out + first to letters of to be

10:20 am

raelite

ok, I think you're rght, rem

10:20 am

abe79

i admit to wearing socs with crocs, but they can be hidden easier than with Birks

10:20 am

stidmama

ch, you're a doll! thanks for all these words!

10:20 am

abe79

*how about socks

10:21 am

raelite

maybe they should make croc socs...

10:21 am

ch1212

:) Just returning the favors, stidmama!

10:21 am

stidmama

it gets that way here sometimes, but usually in the evening. Something about the way the air moves on the water.

10:21 am

raelite

they could be the same colour as the crocs

10:21 am

raelite

that was so poetic, stid

10:21 am

abe79

the color of the socs would match the crocs

10:22 am

abe79

LOL raelite, i think we have a great idea!

10:22 am

raelite

we're gonna be rich!!!!!!!

10:22 am

remluc

I think all croc socks should be neon orange. :)

10:23 am

stidmama

ha. got an ra 6 on my own!

10:23 am

raelite

yay stid!!

10:23 am

msree

10:25 am

stidmama

10:25 am

raelite

10:25 am

abe79

10:25 am

msree

thanks stid. Tell the truth, can you do the Castle Walk?

10:26 am

msree

bye ch.

10:26 am

raelite

too bad we couldn't do a croc soc saved by the bell reunion ad campaign...

10:26 am

stidmama

no. I learned it once, but that was over 20 years ago.

10:26 am

abe79

LOL- "Belding Blue" crocs socs

10:27 am

smazing

good morning all.

10:27 am

abe79

hi smazing

10:27 am

msree

Personally, I dance like Ally Sheedy's character in the Breakfast Club. A little spastic, but I have fun.

10:27 am

stidmama

hi smazing!

10:27 am

raelite

yes...lol...but we couldn't have Jesse or Screech because they've ruined their reputations

10:27 am

msree

morning smazing

10:27 am

smazing

Is it raining cats and dogs there stidmama. I thought I was going to be washed away last night.

10:28 am

smazing

Hello msree!

10:28 am

abe79

Raelite- v. true

10:28 am

smazing

Hi Abe79

10:28 am

stidmama

I used to love dancing, but Tom doesn't really know how. We tried to take a class when the kids were little, but not enough places to practice in the small apartment.

10:29 am

raelite

hey, get out of here, Screech, this is a family ad!

10:29 am

mab

I would love to learn to tango

10:29 am

stidmama

not at the moment, smazing -- I can tell it did something overnight, but the dogs come in dry on top, so I know it's been a while. Not even dripping off the trees now.

10:29 am

msree

me too mab

10:29 am

abe79

Great icon, Mab

10:29 am

stidmama

tango is hard -- I learned both types, but have to rely on a good partner to get the rhythm right for me.

10:30 am

smazing

I am covered from head to toe with bruises today. I spent the last few days helping my boyfriend put insulation in the airplane hanger. I stupidly volunteered to go up in the rafters and do it!!! But it is done! Yeah

10:30 am

stidmama

LOL -- I see the pink flamingo in the log, and then it switched to the lovely dancer in profile! what a transition!

10:30 am

smazing

I have been thinking of taking a latin class this winter. I have to left feet though!

10:30 am

smazing

That should be 'two' left feet!

10:31 am

stidmama

good for you smazing! the hangar will be much more comfortable for the plane now... rofl

10:31 am

msree

smazing, don't worry about the feet - take the class.

10:31 am

smazing

Yes, got to keep Ginger cozy this winte!!!

10:31 am

mab

smazing, your boyfriend has a hangar? how exotic. is he goingto live in it?

10:32 am

stidmama

Do it, smazing -- even if you don't feel like it, you will learn so much and find that it gets easier and easier (not all latin dances are crazy difficult -- chacha is fun and easy!)

10:32 am

smazing

I don't know yet! He hasn't been in the dog house yet!!!

10:33 am

smazing

I just might. I finally landed a job, so now i will have some extra funds to play with.

10:33 am

EvaNadine

10:36 am

stidmama

10:37 am

smazing

I will have to wait until my nieces and nephews start having babies.

10:37 am

EvaNadine

shes doing well -- had a c-section again this time. wasnt feeling so great while the anesthesia was wearing off, but i think shes supposed to be coming home today...

10:37 am

smazing

well i am off to do chores and then I am having a lump aspirated today. Oooh, sounds like fun! Later all.

10:38 am

stidmama

I hate anesthesia -- the docs always get it wrong for me -- wrong type (allergic to some) or too much. hope she gets to go home.

10:38 am

EvaNadine

i dont think Sid has realized it yet...right now, hes been hanging out with grandma + grandpa...hes only 1 1/2, so i think hes too young to really understand that hes got a little brother now...

10:38 am

stidmama

later smazing -- hope you're okay.

10:38 am

abe79

Evanadine- he's SO SWEET

12:25 pm

bunny, I thought that's what it must be, but it's not accepting. thanks. will try again later.

12:25 pm

klaurel

anyone watch the Top Chef premiere?

12:26 pm

bunnyvicious

Ends in two vowels, uses the "n" in the second row, not the third

12:26 pm

Charm

klaurel, meant to, but fell asleep. lol

12:27 pm

Charm

thanks bunny! must still be half alseep....

12:27 pm

klaurel

Watching it on TiVo and wanted to know if it was as good as Season 1, or did they go for cute and hot and snipeness versus good chefs (loike so many other reality shows, like Apprentice)

12:27 pm

bunnyvicious

I've never seen it, but I like to watch Ace of Cakes on the food network (and Top Model, but don't repeat that!).

12:28 pm

Charm

Only watched the 1st season of Apprentice. couldn't see any potential after that.... Did watch Project Runway this season, though. Oh, the cattiness....

12:28 pm

Charm

Ever seen Bridezilla? It makes me ashamed to be a woman.

12:29 pm

Anniebrook

Bridezilla is one of the shows that I would gladly slap one of those brides.

12:29 pm

klaurel

oh, gosh, no! I had enough of that this year with my sis-in-law getting married and I only heard from his mom!

12:29 pm

klaurel

Of course, I can;t stand my sis in law

12:29 pm

bunnyvicious

I'm gonna scat to Sudoku unless anyone needs another clue?

Bye now.

12:32 pm

klaurel

I have been married to my husband for 13 years and we have been together for 19 and we have two kids and she STILL snipes at me and LOVES my brother, but treats teh rest of us like chaf

12:32 pm

klaurel

including my kids (her neice and nephew)

12:33 pm

Charm

I'm actually keeping notes in a book of what NOT to do when my son grows up and gets married and I find myself the out-law.

12:34 pm

Anniebrook

Charm, you are funny but it might be a good idea to do

12:34 pm

Anniebrook

Charm, do you have a daughter?

12:34 pm

Charm

One son. (and he's convinced me that he's enough!)

12:35 pm

Charm

My husband's loving mother actually told me she wants him to move back home with her. (of course, he supports her in EVERYthing, so it's useless speaking my mind)

12:36 pm

Anniebrook

My daughter has 2 wonderful boys and I feel that she will be the mother in law...and I had told her to be loving to her mother in law. It is kind of crummy to be the mother in law even to a son in law but mine is okay

12:37 pm

klaurel

I have a son and a princess . . . I mean daughter

12:37 pm

Anniebrook

Charm, tell your mother in law that the family travels with your husband...some mother in laws do stink

12:38 pm

Anniebrook

*mothers in law

12:38 pm

Charm

Oh, heaven, no. She'd expect me to move in and then she'd control my life entirely!

12:39 pm

klaurel

my aunt;s mother in law is a doosy

12:39 pm

Anniebrook

Charm, she has nerve!

12:39 pm

klaurel

Ick, Charm!

12:39 pm

Ok. I'm depressed now. going to make a cup of tea and eat lots of cheesecake and come back for the last 63. brb

1:41 pm

Wolvie

1:48 pm

1:55 pm

Vicuna

They do it to each other half the time...

the talosians were making her look different ways to try to entice capt pike so he'd be happy staying there.

2:37 pm

Wolvie

LOL - true true - why green I never figured out tho

2:37 pm

hurshy

because in that scene she was supposed to be an orion.

you might go to a salon for a fa***l

6:14 pm

ch1212

another fa is a kind of play on stage, exaggerated satire. That word is also past tense and the ending that means 'more so'

6:14 pm

10:12 pm

nrkii

10:13 pm

10:14 pm

TheFiz

10:14 pm

stidmama

douglas, would share if I'd had any today! but alas!

10:15 pm

nrkii

10:15 pm
