12:29 am

Ankhorite

We decorated and waited... got only six kids. :( Most go to school gyms for fake trick-or-treating. It's not a dangerous neighborhood,it's just that the parents here are perhaps a bit... lazy.

zero minue. It's not in the Jewish calendar. We have Purim (Book of Esther) here and kids get dressed up, but no trick or treating.

12:36 am

Colhad

can't recall the last time some kids came trick or treating at our front door, although Halloween isn't that big in Australia

12:37 am

Ankhorite

I knew that part, and the Muslims too, of course... but Imean, the Copts probably don't "do" Halloween...? And there's not enough expat Americans to make a show?

12:37 am

12:38 am

jaianniah

Hi Fran, T &C, Taz, Debb!

12:39 am

ARB

No one would react -- how can you get your kids out to trick or treat when no one in the neighborhood would know what to do. And the religious always would remind you that it is a pagan-Christian thing. Which incidently they do on New Years Eve as well.

12:39 am

chic

I'm stalling at 42....

jillibus

I remember a Halloween party at boarding school in England. We bobbled for apples, had to guess hidden smells, and best of all, had to go down in the dark to the "ghost hole" and shake hands with a "spook" (a teacher) who was holding a squishy rotten pear, eewwww!

12:40 am

ARB, who does what on which NYE? I got lost!

12:41 am

jillibus

Ankh, it's All Hallows Eve and Nov 1 is All Saints Day. Why should a church object?

12:41 am

jaianniah

There are tu** of words that I can't get in this puzzle (a "pun")

12:42 am

ARB

Religious Jews oppose celebrating New Years Eve because it is St. Sylvester Night and comes from a pagan-Christian background.

12:43 am

jaianniah

He to*** with me...He wasn't serious!

12:43 am

Ankhorite

So you mean 12/31 new year, not the Jewish religious new year.

12:43 am

72 Temple Owl

hey guys...i am stuck here esp the e on the bottom right

12:44 am

Ankhorite

And St. Sylvester Night is based on Janus, the pre-Christian Roman god of the change-of-year.

12:44 am

ARB

Of course. And Rosh Hashana (New Years) is a religious holiday -- family meals & synagogue kind of thing

12:44 am

jaianniah

ey** + ey**** (pl.)

12:44 am

Ankhorite

Jilli, the Protestant churches here are not keen on All Souls NOR All Saints, and feel (with hefty justification) that Halloween has become secular (and with less justification, they feel it's downright demonic).

12:45 am

jaianniah

Did you get that, TO?

12:45 am

72 Temple Owl

ty jai i have the plural...trying to finish i have a business trip and i won't be babbling

12:47 am

Ankhorite

Not *all* the Protestant churches, but some of the mega-churches and some of the more, ah... "doctrinaire" smaller churches. Yes, Jilli, H Potter is considered demonic by some. I had a colleague who was *afraid* of me because I played Dungeons & Dragons as a kid.

Mouldy, I'm so dense, I was still working on the horses after getting Georgetown's stone walls. I am, Jilli. I went to Georgetown. So I was able to get the clue about the oddly-named athletic teams there.

4:05 am

Haz1558

Rearrange the letters of a woman's name (Queen's daughter) then a beverage letter on the end.

4:05 am

Colhad

sn5/12, think of the stuff that you flick off the end of a cigarette, connect it up to as4/7

4:06 am

Haz1558

It has the same ending as a canvas dwelling (an5)

4:06 am

M3

5:56 am

Sherylr1961

pl the ey 4/6 cauze

5:57 am

Haz1558

tu7 - relates to the French verb - to use the tu form of you rather than vous.

5:58 am

cauzneffct

thanks

5:59 am

Haz1558

And ovum is the singular, ova is the plural so ovas would be overkill.

6:00 am

bichon

on the ey 6, the 4 word is already plural. how do you plural it?

6:00 am

kthdsn

ty for clearing up the ovas thing haz, but I need more help with that tu7

6:01 am

bichon

nm got it

6:02 am

Sherylr1961

6:02 am

Haz1558

tu7 - tu plus the past tense of a plaything made into a verb.

I like being with the family for the holidays, I just hate shopping for presents that I know will get shelved no matter how hard I try, or broken in ten minutes by the kids.

8:37 am

8:37 am

8:38 am

Wolvie

are the u words (except for the 4/4) a bit bizarre today or what. Wowsa

8:39 am

kthdsn

thats why I hate christmas bunny, I don't get to spend it with my family, I can't afford to buy people what they really want, I can't stand the way the shops sell junk noone wants, I hate lying to the children about santa, I hate the way all the gifts I get are disappointing, and it's so much effort for what is just a cold, boring, fattening day

8:39 am

Charm

un5/16 = un + speak.

8:40 am

kthdsn

most of my family is on the other side of the world, it just reminds me how much I miss them

8:40 am

evanonut

maybe you hate the holiday, not christmas itself?

8:40 am

Wolvie

easy to do - I'm normally crying for help. :-)

8:41 am

8:41 am

Charm

=8-)

8:41 am

bunnyvicious

Aw kth, people always tell us not to buy for them if we are having a bad year, but then they buy for us, makes me feel like crap. I've learned to just focus on my kids and I bake up a storm of treats for the rest of the family as gifts.

8:41 am

kthdsn

plus I'm not religious in the slightest so the whole thing has no meaning to me whatsoever

8:41 am

abe79

your point is well taken, kthdsn- sometimes Christmas can get out of hand

8:42 am

bunnyvicious

Where is the rest of your family at?

8:42 am

bubba218

8:42 am

kthdsn

ok I'll stop ranting now, enough misery spreading

8:42 am

well now that makes it a different story. maybe it's more wonderful to me because for me it's the anniversary of the single best thing that ever happened in this world.

8:42 am

kthdsn

they moved to toronto 3 years ago

8:42 am

Wolvie

We decided long ago to either get one big thing for us, or use any present money for travel, and just send good wishes, etc., to the extended family. We may give small stocking stuffer stuff to each other, but that's it

8:43 am

8:45 am

Charm

For the holidays, I usually send a photo of the baby and a short note about what he's doing. I figure that's all anyone is interested in anyway. This year, I plan to make the cards myself - rubber stamps and some water color paints. simple and cheap but nice anyway.

8:45 am

8:46 am

kthdsn

I think I'll do the same charm, sounds a lot nicer than buying some shoddy old christmasy junk for people to throw away

8:47 am

Wolvie

much better deal, IMO. :-)

8:48 am

Charm

kthdsn, I just glance through craft magazines for ideas and then simplify them down to a level I can manage. It's fun and interesting to see what other people can do.

9:14 am

tndaisy1960

lol metal...maybe it'll all be ok

9:15 am

mattygroves

Any clues for the Y?

9:15 am

metaleather

well, if he doesn't actually talk about the disemboweling while in the psych testing it might be ok for the test portion.

9:16 am

kthdsn

way over y*er

9:16 am

chiley

I have 3 ne's....the bird's home and the thing you hit tennis balls over...with a double consonant and the plural

9:16 am

metaleather

however, he's headed to the car repair guys after the tests and I wouldn't want to be the mechanic, the shop manager or anyone connected with them. (we just spent over 1500.00 we didn't really have to spare to fix this same problem)

9:16 am

kthdsn

ty chiley, I'm *sure* I tried that

9:17 am

mattygroves

Thanks Kth

9:17 am

kthdsn

ouch metal that's not good

9:17 am

tndaisy1960

that sux

9:17 am

metaleather

*that's the same problem that made the car stop running ... on the way to the testing this morning

9:18 am

metaleather

exactly kt

9:18 am

metaleather

this particular shop has always been pretty good/reliable in the past so I'm hoping they'll step up to the plate and do what's right

9:19 am

metaleather

otherwise, Klingon's blood pressure's gonna go through the roof. and if he keels over, that means I'll go on the warpath.

9:19 am

tndaisy1960

they'd better, or Klingy will have them for breakfast!

9:19 am

Anniebrook

metal, disemboweling is not such a bad idea..after spending all that money and the problem still exists, give them one more chance and I'm sure it will okay if they are threatened....darn mechanics

9:19 am

metaleather

and, Klingon or not, He's nothing compared to me when I'm P.O'd

9:20 am

tndaisy1960

you haven't seen ME P.O.d yet! lol I lose it completely

9:21 am

metaleather

as near as we can figure out... the physical part of the problem was repaired... the mechanical bits were replaced and so on... that means it is in the computer system.

9:21 am

kthdsn

Us girls are definitely better at being POd than whimpy guys

9:21 am

metaleather

oh heck yeah

9:21 am

tndaisy1960

you don't need a mechanic then....you need Techzilla!

9:21 am

metaleather

maybe so...

9:22 am

tndaisy1960

and 'Zilla used to work on cars!

9:22 am

metaleather

cool

9:22 am

metaleather

send him over

9:22 am

tndaisy1960

yes, you may borrow him, just keep him outside

9:22 am

metaleather

oh, to top things off.....

9:24 am

metaleather

when Klingon paid for the last portion of the car repairs... instead of grabbing his Visa CC, he grabbed his Debit card.... which meant that the six charges made to the debit card after the car repairs were paid for were overdrafts... first time in his life Klingon has had that happen... 108.00 OD charges, isn't that a kick in the teeth?

9:25 am

kthdsn

wow that's an expensive overdraft

9:25 am

tndaisy1960

oh no! set it up the way Zilla did...so that savings will cover overdrafts...

9:25 am

metaleather

I tell ya, if he doesn't have a stroke by the time this is all finished it'll be a miracle

9:25 am

evanonut

and they didn't refund any of it for yo umetal?

9:25 am

kthdsn

g2g work

9:25 am

metaleather

Klingon doesn't have a savings account... luckily, I did though and we just transferred the funds over

9:25 am

metaleather

six charges at 28.00 a pop

9:26 am

evanonut

metal, honestly, if they won't refund any of those charges, then it's time to change banks

9:26 am

harpjane

hello

9:26 am

torgone

Could be worse- OD's cost me $35 ..

9:26 am

metaleather

so, we took as 1000.00 out to cover the original car rep. cost, the OD charges.... and things are pretty squared away there

9:27 am

metaleather

banks these day go for blood don't they torg?

9:27 am

metaleather

hi harpjane

9:28 am

kthdsn

I'm back

9:28 am

kthdsn

banks must work differently over there

9:29 am

metaleather

I agree eva, but think if we can just get the car going and keep it that way withoug Klingon popping his cork... I'll settle for that. If I add doing war with the bank to the mix (which already includes finding a lawyer to sue the * &%$#* who totaled our other car) it could be "fatal"

9:29 am

torgone

I got nicked for an OD cause I was short on the day I made the purchase, even though I covered it before the charge was officially posted ..

9:29 am

kthdsn

here you get an overdraft limit, if you stay within your limit then you pay monthly debit interest, if you go over the limit, it costs Â£20 or so for each month you are over, no matter what the amount is

9:30 am

evanonut

no one ever had to war with me when i worked at the bank, if they gave me a valid reason for od's, i was allowed to give back three fees, without approval.

9:30 am

metaleather

I want an account with your bank kt

11:29 am

metaleather

well, Klingon says he's not packing behind me, and I am DEFINITELY packing behind him so it's either sidecar or separate bikes... and then we'd have to figure out who'd hold the cat

11:29 am

My MSF teacher was a bike cop with like, 30 yrs experience, he said the sidecars make it a whole new ball of wax, like a car but with really bad stearing/turning etc

8:52 pm

herinfernallady

8:52 pm

jillibus

8:52 pm

Andree

8:52 pm

herinfernallady

8:52 pm

stidmama

*switches to troll mode* back later

8:53 pm

SummerRose

Andree, I did and it went in...what I mean is that you can't use the word in a sentence, can you?

8:53 pm

herinfernallady

i have 45 words and i haven't looked at licketys list yet

8:54 pm

stidmama

busy log! glad the troll is gone...

8:54 pm

stidmama

later Fran!

8:55 pm

herinfernallady

whos the trolls?

8:55 pm

Andree

I can't, someone smarter might, pretty silly word summer

8:55 pm

SummerRose

What is a troll?

8:55 pm

Andree

was there a troll

8:55 pm

jillibus

summer, there is no meaning to that sa word so we call it a babblet. To get the meaning of weird words, click on the ? beside the word in your list.

8:56 pm

stidmama

wow. the log was acting very strange there for a while... I think it's caught up now.

8:56 pm

SummerRose

T Y, Jilli....I thought I was crazy....

8:56 pm

herinfernallady

im being good so im not the trol

8:56 pm

Andree

for that sa word gives no meaning

8:56 pm

herinfernallady

isn't nott a word

8:57 pm

herinfernallady

or is it knott?

8:57 pm

Andree

knot

8:57 pm

herinfernallady

ok cool that i had lost it for a mo

8:57 pm

stidmama

the troll was apparently a while back, but when I logged in my screen paged through the last three hours or so... and I got a dose of troll... yuck.

8:57 pm

SummerRose

is not nott a word...bad pun...couldn't resist...

8:57 pm

jillibus

There was a troll several hours ago but it left because we ignored it. Trolls are people who enter the chat for no reason except to disrupt the game -- some think it's just another myspace but others are more malicious. If they are we contact Dr_G and he deals with them.

8:58 pm

jillibus

It's nott, but change the woel...

8:59 pm

jillibus

*vowel!!!

8:59 pm

SummerRose

Some people have nothing better to do...it's sad...this site seems so friendly!

8:59 pm

jillibus

This site is a treasure and VERY friendly, summer!

8:59 pm

stidmama

en 5/20 please?

9:00 pm

herinfernallady

I wish to state that i am a reformed troll and if i say 'sodjillbus' i meant sod i meant to say "hello jibus"

9:00 pm

evanonut

i personally am fond of trolls...the make great pets

9:00 pm

jillibus

glad tohear it, herinf!!!

9:00 pm

stidmama

yes nut, but in your case like attracts like... *ducks*

9:00 pm

SummerRose

A friend told me about Babble, and I was intrigued, so I joined! She said you all were a great bunch!

9:01 pm

evanonut

dangit, herinfernal broke her leash

9:01 pm

stidmama

and your friend, SummerRose, was absolutely correct! speaking only for myself, of course.... :-)

9:01 pm

jillibus

en5/20 -- some one you send somewhere to send a message

9:02 pm

herinfernallady

Evanout what is in your drama today, you are usually nice or friendly?Whats bite your arse today

9:02 pm

stidmama

ah! thanks Jill!

9:02 pm

SummerRose

OMG! I finished and there are fireworks for real!

9:02 pm

jillibus

yw :)

9:03 pm

Andree

yay summer

9:03 pm

Ankhorite

Yeah, Summer, the joke is that trolls smell funny, so people will say things like, "Eeew... smell something?" when a troll is around -- but you never speak directly to the troll. If they start YAY SUMMER!!! if they start blocking the chat, go get a drink and come back...by that time, they're gone.

9:03 pm

jillibus

WOWIE SummerRose!!!!

9:03 pm

herinfernallady

yay summer.

9:03 pm

Andree

oa5/10 please

9:03 pm

evanonut

ha ha, someone was dissin christmas earlier. said they hated it, then that theyweren't religious...rubbed me the wrong way, becuase God stands by me through so much.

9:03 pm

Ankhorite

Andree, water in the desert.

9:03 pm

stidmama

YAY summer rose!

9:03 pm

SummerRose

OOO, I would have HATED that!

9:03 pm

stidmama

hi Ankh!

9:03 pm

herinfernallady

Um i dont mean to rattle a cage but a lot of christian stuff reflects very old pagan stuff

9:04 pm

Ankhorite

Well, a lot of religious people don't like Christmas, and it didn't used to be celebrated as it is now.

9:04 pm

Ankhorite

Hi, Stid!!

9:04 pm

Andree

thx ank

9:04 pm

jillibus

please, can we get off religion?

9:04 pm

Ankhorite

Sure, Jilli.

9:04 pm

evanonut

see ank, it's not christmas they hate, it's the commercial holiday though.

9:05 pm

evanonut

sorry jilli, that's why it was in my bio, rather than have a confrontation in chat.

9:05 pm

herinfernallady

ok sorry once again apoligise for chain rattling

9:06 pm

herinfernallady

ok i have 49 words without looking at the list

9:06 pm

evanonut

s'okay infernal

9:06 pm

jillibus

quote - "can't we all just get along?"

9:06 pm

Ankhorite

Hey, where's Bouvet Island? And Infernal, Evan, if you wanna continue I'll participate, just pick my email up from my profile. :)

9:06 pm

herinfernallady

um im fine now i spoke and i need to ask if x is used today as i don't want to go to liketys list yet

9:07 pm

jillibus

x doesn't start a word

9:07 pm

evanonut

ank...i have yahoo and msn, but my profile is pretty clear on my opinion. and no clue where bouvet island is...why?

9:07 pm

evanonut

and x is used however

9:07 pm

SummerRose

yes, it ends a word

9:08 pm

Ankhorite

Because Evanonut, "Bouvet Island" is what shows up next to your name in chat?

9:08 pm

jillibus

because you have no flag, on purpose, nuttynut!

9:08 pm

evanonut

although how that word can happen is beyond me

9:08 pm

evanonut

what! *looks for flag* - - - *GASP*

9:08 pm

Ankhorite

At yahoo and msn, are you still Evanonut?

9:08 pm

SummerRose

or, for that matter, un-talk?

9:08 pm

Ankhorite

Summer has no flag either!

9:09 pm

stidmama

Nut -- you forgot our takeover of cote d'ivoire, didn't you?

9:09 pm

herinfernallady

cool i must try to figure where the x is

9:09 pm

jillibus

nut, how about the creation of those sorta male sopranos?

9:09 pm

SummerRose

Oh, I'd better fix that....

9:09 pm

evanonut

stid, they said i can't have cote divoir

9:09 pm

jillibus

who said?

9:09 pm

evanonut

but i thought they had a different title,

9:10 pm

stidmama

oh bummer! so what country are we going to invade and can I still be kitchen mama?

9:10 pm

herinfernallady

evans in norway

9:10 pm

SummerRose

Now do I have a flag?

9:10 pm

evanonut

what you call them, castrados

9:10 pm

jillibus

castrati

9:10 pm

Ankhorite

Or eu...

9:10 pm

herinfernallady

ok even it seems is somewhere on this planet

9:10 pm

SummerRose

nope...I guess I'm from Antarctica....

9:10 pm

stidmama

castratos are men who were boy sopranos who lost the ability to bear children, ensuring their continued singerhood...

9:10 pm

evanonut

ah yes, that sounds right

9:10 pm

Ankhorite

Not for me, Summer, but let me reload and see if it shows up.

9:11 pm

stidmama

maybe you need to refresh summerorse?

9:11 pm

evanonut

didja click update summer?

9:11 pm

herinfernallady

i think the comment there stid is snippy snippy

9:11 pm

Ankhorite

After refresh, still no flag for Summer for me.

9:12 pm

SummerRose

I did...and I updated my profile...maybe I'll just be a woman of mystery LOL

9:12 pm

stidmama

I am scared to refresh for fear the logwill go weird on me again...

9:12 pm

herinfernallady

hey jill can i have a clue for that x usage

9:12 pm

Ankhorite

Leave be, Stid, refreshing did me no good. Maybe someone can mention it to Dr. God if it doesn't cure on its own.

9:12 pm

SummerRose

herin, we've been talking about that word all along...read back...

9:13 pm

evanonut

okay, i'm off to bed guys,...i'll be off the soap box tomorrow.

9:13 pm

stidmama

LOL lady --- though the practice was outlawed a long time ago, still a few men who had childhood accidents have become castrati.

9:13 pm

Andree

back later to finish

9:13 pm

herinfernallady

scratchs head and looks confused

9:13 pm

stidmama

9:13 pm

Ankhorite

9:13 pm

SummerRose

9:14 pm

evanonut

ank...take my name in here @yahoo

9:14 pm

stidmama

summer -- that's the word that ends in x

9:14 pm

Ankhorite

Infernal. Go back 100 years. A woman who dared to speak in public was thought to be un***ed. She de-gendered herself, socially speaking.

9:14 pm

Ankhorite

Got it, Evan!

9:14 pm

evanonut

okay!

9:14 pm

jillibus

phone interrupted. back now

9:19 pm

SummerRose

Oh<blush> that was funny....

9:19 pm

stidmama

sounds nice, greeny. Our kids had a good time too, but it was really cold. Freezing before they were finished, in fact! It has been very cold at night the last few days.

9:19 pm

Ankhorite

SummerRose, LOL! You can try to write a quick email to Dr.God at the bottom of the page, see the red SEND THEM blurb? That's him. Be nice, he rules our world!

9:19 pm

herinfernallady

i just placed a candle on the stoop

9:19 pm

stidmama

poor summer... maybe more than we needed to know? ROFL

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

SummerRose

greengeeny

It was about 60 degrees here when we started, and about 52 when we ended...not too shabby

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

9:20 pm

Ankhorite

Dear One made a cool optical illusion pumpkin that looked like a smiley Jack-o-lantern OR a skull! Ooo!

9:20 pm

stidmama

not bad at all, greeny! that's the sort of weather we have here sometimes, would have been nice...

9:20 pm

Ankhorite

The weather was gorgeous in Northern Virginia but we get very few kids -- most go to school gyms and churches.

9:21 pm

greengeeny

sounds cool ank!

9:21 pm

greengeeny

You know there weren

9:21 pm

stidmama

A pleasure to meet you Summer

9:26 pm

SummerRose

T Y!

9:26 pm

stidmama

9:26 pm

GreyWoulf

She was a halloween faerie -- she even had a wand and everything

9:27 pm

jillibus

greengeeny, have you got the tu yet?

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

I took a couple of pics and will post one as an icon as soon as I get around to downloading the camera

9:27 pm

stidmama

I bet she was lovely. Will there be pics? Did you see the icon I had yesterday of my boys?

9:27 pm

greengeeny

thanks for the tu clue!!

9:27 pm

Scrabbler

Good evening Babblers. Welcome to Babble Land, SummerRose!

9:27 pm

Ankhorite

the m5,12 -- my monkey is still sick on candy, someone clue me?

9:27 pm

stidmama

oh good, you anticipated my query. Hi Scrabbler!

9:27 pm

GreyWoulf

So Summer...

the code is if the flag is up, sex is a go? ;-D

9:28 pm

Scrabbler

Hey Stid

9:28 pm

Ankhorite

er, wait, me5,14 I mean, maybe that was my problem. LOL, Woulf!

9:28 pm

SummerRose

T Y< SCrabbler! My favorite game!

9:28 pm

stidmama

Woulf, may I introduce stidhat's (that's my Tom) first cousin Scrabbler? Don't know if you have met yet...

9:28 pm

Scrabbler

LOL Grey Woulf

9:28 pm

stidmama

SN 5 please? I think it's a fish, so come at it obliquely please...

9:28 pm

jillibus

interesting how the formerly innocent word "fairy" has morphed into a pc word "faerie"

9:29 pm

Kitrine

ey6/24 please

9:29 pm

SummerRose

Yes, Woulfe, if the flag is up....oh, God, I'm ROFL and going to wet my panties!

9:29 pm

stidmama

hi Kit! if you have the ey 4, plural it

9:29 pm

GreyWoulf

Stid -- I didn't get to see your icon yesterday as I didn't play -- I was trying to get out of work in time to take my girl out and was too tired to hunt after they were in bed

9:29 pm

Scrabbler

Guess what? I love Scrabble too! I do play by "house rules" with my friends, though---no time constraints.

9:29 pm

jillibus

ey6 is the pl of ey4

9:30 pm

stidmama

okay, hold on and I will change back just for you *no peeking*

9:30 pm

Ankhorite

Jilli, if you want to start talking about PC, I swear I will talk about religion. I mean it.

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

woo hoo i just broke my record

9:30 pm

Ankhorite

me5,14?

9:30 pm

Kitrine

ty

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

um how many word today

9:30 pm

stidmama

okay, done. You might have to refresh.

9:30 pm

SummerRose

We have a great variation...We reuse the colored tiles...So if a tile is already placed, and you make a word with it, you get ceredit for it, too! It's a blast!

9:30 pm

Scrabbler

What is your record lady?

9:30 pm

stidmama

stidgrant on the left, stidmatt on the right.

9:30 pm

jillibus

Don't wanna get into either here, ankh!

9:30 pm

Scrabbler

108

9:31 pm

stidmama

The only PC around here is our computers... ROFL

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

ta i got 52 before i had to look at the list

9:31 pm

GreyWoulf

very cool, stid -- they look great

9:31 pm

herinfernallady

um 52

9:31 pm

Ankhorite

Heh, Jilli, it was the fairy remark that set me off... truce!

9:31 pm

stidmama

thanks Woulf -- they were fun to make.

9:32 pm

stidmama

so -- I still need the SN 5 please...

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

i only find a handful before i lok at the list

9:32 pm

Scrabbler

Stid, tell the boys that look quite cool.

9:32 pm

jillibus

oh, you switched back, stid -- give them my love (if it's not too mushy for guys)

9:32 pm

SummerRose

I play the version on the computer...I'll have to look it up- I am close to 800 playing by myself....

9:32 pm

stidmama

me 5/14: grown-up boys, + two letter "commercial" word

9:32 pm

stidmama

Thanks Jill and Scrabbler, will do.

9:32 pm

herinfernallady

um can i ask was a dose of catty eaten today?

9:33 pm

jillibus

sn is like grinding your teeth with a diff beginning, stid

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

sn5 -- what the wild things do with their terrible teeth, but change the first letter from g to s

9:33 pm

stidmama

thanks woulf!

9:33 pm

stidmama

and thanks also Jill...

9:33 pm

GreyWoulf

Can you guess which book we have been reading here lately?

9:33 pm

jillibus

dang, I got there first with the sn!!!

9:33 pm

Ankhorite

Stid, thanks! I coulda *sworn* I typed that before...

9:34 pm

stidmama

three to go... *in determined mode*

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

oh grey are you reading my fav book?

9:34 pm

SummerRose

Another way of cluing that tu7 word is its resemblance to being taught privately....

9:34 pm

Ankhorite

Go Mama Go! Go Mama Go!

9:34 pm

GreyWoulf

woohoo -- at the halfway point

9:34 pm

jillibus

it's like my fave unword -- snile...

9:34 pm

Scrabbler

Summer, I also play against Maven, but I have never gotten 800 points--wow. Have you ever played SuperScrabble which came out about 2 yrs ago?

9:34 pm

Ankhorite

I heard about the 800 pt game

9:35 pm

SummerRose

No...Is it fun?

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

lady -- we didn't read it tonight, but it is a regular in the rotation, along with Millions of Cats and The Five Chinese Brothers

9:36 pm

stidmama

I LOVE and ADORE the Five Chinese brothers. When I was a child I had the book and the little 45 record...

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

cool.

9:36 pm

Scrabbler

It is way more fun! Huge grid with quadruple letter and word tiles, and the potential to get a double-double. It is so much less constraining and more wide open.

9:36 pm

SummerRose

Scrabbler, you have to divide that in two- I said I was playing alone-so I scored around 400 or so...I'll look it up..bbias...

9:37 pm

stidmama

two...

9:37 pm

Ankhorite

Scrabbler, Dear One won't play it with me! I asked for it for a solstice present, but they don't wanna. :(

9:37 pm

jillibus

go stid!!!

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

I am finding that one of the best parts of being a parent is sharing my favorite books from when I was little with my kids :)

9:37 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, OK, Summer. I have hit 400 for myself---if I get the high-scoring tiles.

9:38 pm

jillibus

solstice present? What a neat isea...

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

care bears are back so are teenagemutant turles

9:38 pm

Scrabbler

Ankh--so you have SuperScrabble?

9:38 pm

stidmama

I think it would make a great solstice present, but can't let on what we are getting the children because I have one reading over my shoulder right now.

9:38 pm

SummerRose

I just looked it up- My top score is 484 and I have Champion rating...

9:39 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Matt, Hi Grant!

9:39 pm

Scrabbler

You are a ScrabbleMaster, Summer.

9:39 pm

stidmama

LOL scrabbler, no real names, please...

9:39 pm

Ankhorite

No, Scrabbler, I don't, but I wish I did, hence my sad-puppy-eyes and talk about presents! :)

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

we played naught scrable one christmas kept us entertained for ages I used to have the kids version of scable as a tyke

9:40 pm

Ankhorite

Yay, Rose, a champ on your first night!

9:40 pm

Ankhorite

Naught scrabble?

9:40 pm

stidmama

ONE....

9:40 pm

SummerRose

I am? Neat!

9:40 pm

SummerRose

Go, Stidmama, go!

9:40 pm

jillibus

um, think I'll go microwave supper if nobody needs clues

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

need more time so i could have done the whole puzzle myself, Naughty scrabble is ignoring the rules and using adult words

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

u be back later jill?

9:41 pm

Scrabbler

Go Stid, go!

9:41 pm

stidmama

later Jill!

9:41 pm

Ankhorite

Oh, naughtY scrabble! got it. But I think the smutty words are in the official lists, aren't they? Not the guide which is used in schools, but in the tournament lists?

9:41 pm

jillibus

sure, infernal

9:41 pm

Ankhorite

Jilli, if you give me all the clues I need, you'll starve, go eat!

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

go ahead, jill -- I will need clues in a bit, but I am sure the others will be able to handle it

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

ayh later jill

9:42 pm

Ankhorite

Heh! Well, I --hear-- tht the official SOWPODS list has reeeeealllly feeeeeelthy words. But I don't know.

9:42 pm

SummerRose

In French class, we had to play in French..oooo, that was hard...tres horrible!

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

summer thats a great way to test vocab

9:43 pm

Ankhorite

Â¡Que dolor! Whoops, wrong language.

9:43 pm

SummerRose

I know, and you know what? There are a great many words in English which come from the French, thanks to the Norman invasion....

9:43 pm

stidmama

okay, need to help the kids with homework. I need the NO 6/27 please....

9:44 pm

Ankhorite

Stid, no ** *on't + e

9:44 pm

SummerRose

no+ sometimes vowel+ lemon***

9:44 pm

herinfernallady

i cant speak another language but i was learning pigeon italian from my ex

9:44 pm

Scrabbler

What does SOWPODS mean?

9:45 pm

stidmama

thanks Ankh and Rose....

9:45 pm

Ankhorite

Which is why all the American legal words that look like Latin aren't, they're Norman French, that litigious batarde!

9:45 pm

stidmama

off to do homework and back later... I hope.

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

so long, stid -- see you soon

9:45 pm

Scrabbler

??? Fireworks, Stid?

9:45 pm

Ankhorite

SOWPODS is the list used by everyone in the English-speaking world except USA, Thailand, Israel and one other. It's a big giant list of what's acceptable in international tournament scrabble play.

9:46 pm

Ankhorite

The game here uses the Enable dictoinary, which is different and WAY smaller.

9:46 pm

Ankhorite

I mean, Babble here uses Enable. Scrabble here in the US uses a different list.

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

there have to keep legal words in latin as you cant convert the context to an english word

9:47 pm

Scrabbler

I just read about SOWPODS on Wikipedia---now I understand the name.

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

useless fact of the day, legal langauge or jargon is called legalese

9:48 pm

Ankhorite

Yeah, that's a good place to get up on it, but you'd need one of the Scrabble mavens to explain all the politics of it for you, I'm not into it, except the USA people gripe endlessly about all the Scots words in SOWPODS, which they say should not be considered "English"

9:48 pm

SummerRose

SOWPODS is an anagram of two dictionaries- the OSW (Official Scrabble Words) + OSPD (Official Scrabble Players Dictionary)

9:49 pm

GreyWoulf

If you want more useless facts -- try this site -- http://lexicon.typepad.com/triviums/

9:49 pm

Ankhorite

No, Infernal, they keep them in Latin or Norman French for no good reason at all except habit, and the prestige of saying something "laypeople" can't understand.

9:49 pm

SummerRose

Oh, I love it! "Triviums"!

9:50 pm

Ankhorite

"et al" is short for "et alia" which just means "and others" -- no good reason not to say it in common speech. Just hoity-toity! :)

9:51 pm

Scrabbler

Interesting site, Woulf.

9:51 pm

SummerRose

I read many books written in the Regency period or about the Regncy period, and that has helped me a lot- words like "sods" mean something to me...That was slang back in those days.

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

I forget how I found it, I think I got it from Aaron Williams website. He is the artist who writes a D&D inspired comic strip called 'Nodwick'

9:52 pm

SummerRose

The lower class (men especially) talked "cant"- chickens were "cackling cheats"

9:53 pm

Ankhorite

To be "gay" once meant that a woman was a prostitute; no reference to orientation at all.

9:53 pm

Scrabbler

There must be so much funny and interesting material from the UK, and the rest of the world, that I have no idea even exists. I do appreciate hearing about these types of sites.

9:55 pm

SummerRose

My favorite phrase from that period is argle-bargle-meaning to not talk honestly. "I don't want no argle-bargle from you, laddie."

9:55 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, balderdash!

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Examining how language evolves over time is always fascinating -- most people today don't even know that a faggot was a bundle of sticks to burn in the fire

9:56 pm

SummerRose

Or a fag was a short cigarette...

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Another fun game, Scrabbler!

9:57 pm

Ankhorite

...or that "faggot" still means younger student assigned to be a servant to an older student in all-boy schools in Britain (the "public" schools, which U.S. folks would call "private" schools).

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

I didn't even know that one, Ankh

9:57 pm

Scrabbler

So many games, so many books, and not enough time!

9:57 pm

SummerRose

I love entomolgy! (I hope I'm not referring to bugs!)

9:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Amen, Scrabbler

9:58 pm

SummerRose

Amen, also, Scrabbler

9:58 pm

Scrabbler

I am delirious with fatigue, and must go to bed. (I think you mean etymology, Summer.)

9:58 pm

Ankhorite

Oh, dear, Rose, you like etymology. Entomology is bugs.

9:59 pm

SummerRose

Yes, that's it. I have dsylexai...LOL

9:59 pm

Ankhorite

LOL!

9:59 pm

Ankhorite

So Scrabbler, you're all fagged out, then? Nitey nite!

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Dyslexics of the world, Untie!!

9:59 pm

SummerRose

Well, I knew at least that it MIGHT mean bugs! LOL!

10:00 pm

Scrabbler

Good night, Babblers. See you tomorrow, same time, same place--Babble Land.

10:00 pm

Ankhorite

Byyyeee! Dear One just came home, so I'll dash off also. Nice to meet you, Woulf, Summer.

10:00 pm

GreyWoulf

Sleep well and dream deep, Scrabbler

10:00 pm

SummerRose

There's this game on the site Quote Puzzler called Honeycomb, which plays with palindromes...great for dyslexics...

10:00 pm

Scrabbler

TY Woulf---I hope so, sleep has not been well this week.

10:01 pm

SummerRose

G"Nite, Scrabbler! Nice to meet you!

sod i lost the net so i will be back online as soon as i get my laptop online

10:08 pm

SummerRose

tut, tut, can't you get it?

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

the 6 is the past tense of King Tu* -- as in the nanny tu**** at the antics of the children

10:09 pm

SummerRose

* did not mean that mnastily...

10:09 pm

SummerRose

* did not mean that mnastily...

Welcome back, Stidmama!

10:18 pm

SummerRose

My bio teacher called the an** the "hardest working part of the body" and I argued back that uteri work pretty hard now and again...

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

I think is is a question of total time of use, Summer

10:19 pm

SummerRose

ROFL!

10:19 pm

stidmama

very grateful my uterus will never outwork the an** again!

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

:D

10:20 pm

Ankhorite

Lickety did a new thing, did you know? Now, when you type two letters and hit enter, it bounces you down the list to that sectoin automagically. IF there are words starting with those two letters -- so SE would work for this grid, but SB won't.

10:20 pm

SummerRose

Actually, I think the heart and lungs get the prize....

10:21 pm

Ankhorite

One would hope that the brain... no, I guess not.

10:21 pm

Kitrine

"The brain is a muscle that can move the world"- who said that?

10:21 pm

yikes Kit.........that's scarier than Stephen King

10:31 pm

Kitrine

at least my stepson is only here half the time.

10:32 pm

SummerRose

I had a 11 year gap between my oldest and youngest...worked great....until the day My son couldn't understand why he could not take the baby for a ride on his bike (no child seat) "I'll hold her real tight! Promise!"

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Summer -- you gotta love kid logic!

10:33 pm

stidmama

an 7 is past tense of an 5/14: to irritate

10:33 pm

SummerRose

I had to explain in great detail about what would happen if he fell...he was disgusted with me because he "never, ever fell"

10:33 pm

kalea

an7......past tense of an5/14

Oh, Woulf, how wonderful!Congrats!

10:39 pm

SummerRose

Yes, a while ago...But I am guessing that this was an easier puzzle than they usually are. Am I right?

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

I will most likely do it this weekend, greeny -- I usually don't have the opportunity to fiddle with the computer during the week until after the kids bedtime

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

Summer -- this is one of the smaller puzzles -- usually they are larger, though sometimes the teeny tinies are really nasty in their obscurity

10:40 pm

greengeeny

I know exactly what you are saying...

10:40 pm

SummerRose

Woulf, I had to wait years before we could afford for Mom to get her own computer...I can relate...good thing I am a night owl....

10:41 pm

kalea

not too bad today, Summer.......i have 1 left, and never had to use the list

10:41 pm

stidmama

Greeny, do you need more help? I am fading fast here...

10:41 pm

smooth_pappa

ugh! anyone ever design a website before? I don't reccomend it.

10:42 pm

SummerRose

I used the list. It was my first time...but words kept popping out at me, so it was a combination of both

10:42 pm

stidmama

why not, pappa?

10:42 pm

kalea

lol pappa...........with my puter know-how, i feel good to even USE a site, never mind designing one

10:43 pm

smooth_pappa

well, maybe if I were more savvy, it would be easier... but every time I think I'm ready to publish it, I find something else wrong... and this things isn't even that complicated. A simple click and buy, with an easy interface, and simple graphics. No animations, music, or video.

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Summer -- I used to be a night owl -- there are those here at Babble who can remember how this time last year I would be up until way late just to chat --- but my new job requires me to get up at 6 am so I can't stay as late as I used to

10:43 pm

stidmama

designing websites isn't so bad -- making them look good on most browsers is the tough bit! Hoping the new Internet Explorer follows web standards a little closer.

10:44 pm

stidmama

What are you using to write the code, pappa?

10:44 pm

SummerRose

My husband told me that I should just trythings until I figured them out...the first thing I tried was the command to redo the whole computer....

10:44 pm

smooth_pappa

hehe... that's the pathetic part, I'm not even really writing code... just using a site builder. Yahoo's, since that's where I have the domain registered

10:45 pm

10:47 pm

smooth_pappa

HA Nice logic stid. ;) The trouble I have is tinkering with my pictures, and getting all the text worded right... especially the legalize. And then I go back, and find something that I need to word different, or move that button 5 pixles to the right, or something tedious like that

10:47 pm
