12:18 am

Jacula

Stress of working etc?

12:18 am

GreyWoulf

I am happy but am not sleeping cos I saw everyone racing when I decided to check the new grid before turning in

12:18 am

Ornith

thanks Fran, didn't know that variant.

12:18 am

Jacula

Hi againm Hell!

12:19 am

GreyWoulf

12:19 am

helenkeller

hiya jac!

12:19 am

FranMag

hey wolfie, seb is in the grid. :-)

12:19 am

Jacula

Wolfie - Ah, I see. I did the same after turning in and getting up again.

12:20 am

GreyWoulf

so I see, Fran, but not worth any points :(

12:22 am

jmcantrell

wow, this puzzle is massive

12:22 am

FranMag

did someone say re7/8 combo?

12:22 am

VolleymomDee

wonder why the st 9 can't be plural, if the tr 6 can be??

12:22 am

FranMag

2 of them now

12:22 am

helenkeller

which one fran?

12:23 am

FranMag

i guess that answers my question. :-)

12:23 am

DRBERNABO

Because the tr is people and the st isn't

knutmeg

good evening, all! ever switch over to a puzzle after the flip, see the number of words and think "it might as well be 100 zillion?" quickly followed by the thought "But if i get started now, i should be able to finished before I go to work tomorrow"

12:27 am

melonheadjujube

12:34 am

knutmeg

12:36 am

12:36 am

Ornith

is babble being really slow for anyone else?

12:36 am

FranMag

yay! finally greyed something out besides a 1!

12:36 am

GreyWoulf

haven't been there to check yet, Dee -- I haven't hit the halfway mark yet

12:36 am

knutmeg

i certainly will. :-) i'll be talking to her in the morning, she hasn't gotten the full livia update from Livia's first birthday

12:37 am

Douglas

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

123 words in, 14 7s, 7 8s, and the 9 - tim eto look at lickety. VMD, they look OK to me. you may need to refresh.

12:38 am

ARB

Dee, yes they are goofy and with words filled in that are from yesterday, I think

12:39 am

Ornith

volley, try refreshing?

12:39 am

ARB

I think I will reboot.

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

I think the stats are correct but the beginning 2 letters are all wrong

12:40 am

knutmeg

:-) thank you. amazing to me as well. my picture is from the day before her birthday. she got some adorable spring dresses from her great-grandma so I had to take her pcitures in them.

12:40 am

lbdawger

103 words left and my sanity is gone. night everyone

12:40 am

FranMag

12:40 am

bluesoul

lord that top right is full of stuff

12:40 am

helenkeller

good nite lbd

12:40 am

Douglas

Oh dear, that's a lot of words...

12:41 am

helenkeller

12:41 am

bluesoul

31 in 3 minutes almost all from up there

12:41 am

knutmeg

g'night hk!

12:41 am

FranMag

bye helen!

12:42 am

Ornith

I've got 150/135 left. would probably be further if babble wasn't taking 30 seconds every time I typed in a word :(

12:43 am

FranMag

ornith, i've found when that happens, the best thing to do is restart your computer, the scripts have clogged up your memory.

12:43 am

GreyWoulf

knut -- seeing as how Seb and Livia are both Babble babies, we should try to get them together, whattya think?

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

not sure why there isn't a ca 9, since they accepted the ca 8... another hmmmm DR

12:43 am

mamabear

babble baby love..... awwwww

12:43 am

Ornith

nothing else is being slow, though! guess I'll try it anyway though

12:45 am

jillibus

falling asleep already with o9nly 80 woprds so far..

12:45 am

knutmeg

Seb will have to arm wrestle livia's current boyfriend :-) Also a babble baby, although his mum doesn't chat

12:45 am

ARB

Back again after rebooting -- that solved the problem with Lickety's llist.

12:45 am

FranMag

going to bed jilli?

12:46 am

jillibus

as you can see from my typing :(

12:46 am

FranMag

i thought it was just in code jilli.

12:46 am

FranMag

:-)

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

ty AR for the info

12:46 am

GreyWoulf

that's fine with me, knut -- dealing with Kristianna and her 'boyfriend' is one relationship more than I want to deal with at this point anyway ;-D

12:46 am

Hugabugs

can I get a clue for the re8 and 9 pls?

12:46 am

jillibus

yes, fran -- anyone want a piece of Elton's cake?

12:47 am

FranMag

the 9 is st9/72 hugs, armies have to be this

12:47 am

harpjane

of course, how old is he?

12:47 am

FranMag

jilli, it's too pretty to cut up.

12:47 am

Hugabugs

oh... thanks Fran

12:48 am

DRBERNABO

4 s's certainly help here

12:48 am

FranMag

great icon harp! i'm surprised the glasses fit in the picture. :-)

12:48 am

knutmeg

of course, your Seb is likely better behaved, everytime we go over to david's house, he takes some piece of clothing off Livia! (silly 1 year olds)

12:49 am

Douglas

Sounds suspicious to me knut...

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

whe - got the st 8/50. actually guessed it was in the grid - found it after the fact.

12:49 am

jillibus

FRan -- too retty to cut up -- does taht fit Elton?

12:49 am

GreyWoulf

LOL -- gotta love those 1 yo's

12:49 am

knutmeg

He's definitely a shifty character. ;-)

12:50 am

harpjane

thanks, i'm going to see Elton John's Aida next week so I'm in the mood!]

12:50 am

jillibus

too pretty... oh yes, definitely bedtime

12:50 am

GreyWoulf

Of course, Seb does have his sister to help keep him in line (sort of...)

12:50 am

Jacula

115 found and going back to bed now. Plenty of time later to find words, Happy Babblin.

12:50 am

FranMag

night jac!

12:50 am

GreyWoulf

so long, Jac -- see you soon

12:51 am

mamabear

hi jac, bye jac

12:51 am

GreyWoulf

and definitely slowing down here -- up to 150 after another 25 mins of hunting

12:51 am

GreyWoulf

Mama -- why so quiet?

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

not quite mediocre - but i did get halfway with all the 8s + 9, have 18 of 28 7s, but too tired to continue. laila tov all. {poof}

12:52 am

mamabear

dunno.......

12:52 am

GreyWoulf

I am not liking the curve on my hunting -- at this pace, I will still be under the wire to finish even with the early start :-D

12:52 am

FranMag

night melon!

12:52 am

ARB

laila tov melon

12:52 am

knutmeg

I need to dive into the puzzle myself.

12:52 am

mamabear

have 118 since coming on though......

12:52 am

FranMag

did anyone say ta7 yet?

12:53 am

GreyWoulf

Farewell, melon

12:55 am

FranMag

finally found the ca7

12:55 am

Hugabugs

I don't think so Fran, but I just found it

12:55 am

bluesoul

so i went from alice in chains and ac/dc and whatnot last night to "20 years of narada piano" tonight

12:55 am

bluesoul

not sure which is more conducive to babbling

12:55 am

FranMag

cool hugs

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

any hints fran... struggling with the ch 7 / 40

12:55 am

jillibus

dozing off.. bye... *poof*

12:55 am

GreyWoulf

that is my only weak point right now -- I only have 4 eah of the 7 and 8's -- but at least I have the 9

12:56 am

bluesoul

and it was false advertising too...the album wasn't even close to being 20 years long

12:56 am

GreyWoulf

g'nite jilli

12:56 am

FranMag

dee, i don't have the ch7/40, i have ca7/40

12:56 am

FranMag

blue, that's a really big jump in genres! :-)

12:56 am

FranMag

night jilli!

12:57 am

Hugabugs

I have ca7/40 x 2

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

oops sorry

12:57 am

bluesoul

yeah...narada really puts out some beautiful songs though

12:57 am

Hugabugs

and a ca8/55

12:57 am

dicktrickle

ca7/40 x 3

12:58 am

FranMag

hugs, there are two ca8/55s

12:58 am

Douglas

Bach gets my logical juices flowing...I've just put on the Goldberg Variations...

12:58 am

Hugabugs

got them now

12:59 am

pigeonman

HELP. Went to Lickity. The new list comes up, BUT it fills in the list with my words from yesterday. I refreshed, and rebooted the computer. Any ideas?

12:59 am

Hugabugs

missing one more 8

12:59 am

FranMag

dee, is there a ch7/40?

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

found it was looking the wrong direction

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

yes

12:59 am

dicktrickle

yes

12:59 am

FranMag

pigeon, throw away the cookie

12:59 am

Hugabugs

there's a ch7/44

12:59 am

bluesoul

eh...this is all contemporary pianists, david lanz and michael jones and spencer brewer and the like

12:59 am

Douglas

I just got a ch7/44

1:00 am

Douglas

Have you ever listened to Keith Jarrett, blue?

1:00 am

FranMag

thanks hugs and douglas...*searching*

1:00 am

bluesoul

not that i can recall no

1:00 am

Ornith

man, rebooted, had to try several times just to get the page to load, and still really slow :(

1:01 am

Douglas

Fantastic jazz pianist, also plays classical and early music...

1:01 am

scv

wooow. i just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out be5,18 and 6,30 and it was the first thing i should have tried. terrible.

1:01 am

Ornith

looks like I'm done for the night. boo. hopefully it will behave after church tomorrow... night all

1:01 am

FranMag

ornith, i won't be surprised if we crash some time soon then.

1:02 am

FranMag

night ornith!

1:03 am

bluesoul

this isn't really my usual fare (though i am a fan of david lanz), i was just browsing through my winamp and went "oh, there's something i haven't listened to yet"

1:03 am

FranMag

thanks scv, there's a second be5/18 also.

1:03 am

bluesoul

which happens when you've got 5300+ files totalling 17 and a half days of music

1:05 am

scv

surprisingly, i had the other. which is why i felt silly about missing that.

1:06 am

Ornith

oh, and my lickety's is messed up too :( really goodnight now

1:07 am

GreyWoulf

Strange -- but I have no probs with Babble lagging at all, nor is Lickety mixed up for me -- and all I did was reload both pages when I came on earlier

1:08 am

Douglas

I'm trying to get my brain around 17 and a half days of music...

1:08 am

bluesoul

working fine on this end too, dunno what to tell you

1:09 am

scv

lickety isn't messed up for me really.. just the letters already placed in the word boxes dont match up with the clues. i suspect theyre the letters from yesterday, so i understand how people have yesterdays list there

1:09 am

scv

but nothing's checked. so no harm.

1:10 am

FranMag

i just deleted 9 gigs of files that i was "holding" for my husband, i'm left with 3100+ or 8.9 days worth

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

the stats are all correct

1:10 am

helenkeller

finally got my icon

1:10 am

bluesoul

it's partly me being a packrat, and partly the fact that campus internet in louisville is ridiculously fast

1:10 am

GreyWoulf

Hmmm.... since I don't actually use Lickety except to view the printable list, I wouldn't be able to comment on that

1:11 am

FranMag

GreyWoulf

Well, it's like this -- I was gonna go to bed, but Kirsten pointed out that I could check the grid before turning in due to the time. Then when I got here, the log was filled with people talking about how quickly they were finding words, so I just sorta got sucked into the grid and haven't left yet

1:17 am

GreyWoulf

'Sides, Seb is due to wake up any minute now

1:18 am

Hi there

lickety is only bad until you hit the "re"'s...then it's fine!

5:33 am

pinkhatlil

Anike is your computer rebeling against you too?

5:33 am

lynxxx

I believe there is a contact on Licketys page - you could contact him via that perhaps

5:34 am

5:34 am

sprite

*do

5:34 am

pinkhatlil

6:15 am

Scrabbler

rolin----whoaaaaa

6:15 am

sprite

probably :)
I am trying to let my mood be softened by those colours, lol. There is only one thing worse than DST: getting up early for aikido lessons and having to wait for the teacher to show up, who forgot about DST.

6:16 am

yay rolin, enjoy ;)

Scrabbler

Hi Wolvie

6:25 am

lynxxx

No Scrabbler

6:26 am

lynxxx

Hi Wolvie

6:26 am

sprite

I don't think so, Scrabbler. Some with prefix though.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

TY, lynxx, but I just found ma8

6:27 am

o-o

Sorry, Scrabbler. Was doing a Kenny Rogers and checking what condition my condition was in ....

6:27 am

sprite

lol

6:27 am

Scrabbler

LOL--so how is your condition?

6:28 am

o-o

At the moment I am somewhat ambivalent

6:28 am

Scrabbler

About______?

6:29 am

sprite

if you managed to make up your mind that you are ambivalent, you might not be

6:29 am

Wolvie

nice icon today babble

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I found 1 ca8--is the other one related?

6:30 am

sprite

only in form, Scrabbler, and only a little.

6:30 am

o-o

Each day is an opportunity. Some days more than others are a test of resolve.

6:30 am

o-o

Thanks, Wolvie and good morning to you.

6:31 am

lynxxx

so true BR!

6:31 am

Wolvie

:-)

6:31 am

sprite

Scrabbler: one is a plural, one is a comparative

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Ah, the comparative--that's it

6:32 am

sprite

sorry about the confusion, I was looking at the Ca7s, not the 8s. :(

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Anybody seen Jacula lately??

6:32 am

sprite

no, was just thinking about her

6:32 am

Wolvie

noo - now that you mention it, I haven't

6:33 am

Atalante

yes, Jac's been around a good bit

6:33 am

Wolvie

oh good - and hi ata

6:33 am

sprite

ah ok, good

6:33 am

sprite

hi Ata :)

6:33 am

lynxxx

Hi Ata

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Good news, Atalante.

6:35 am

Wolvie

do the ca 8's build off of the ca 4/7?

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Think about the person behind home plate

6:35 am

lynxxx

in4.8 & 5.18 - anyone care to give definition of this silly one

6:35 am

sprite

they build from the ca5/16

6:35 am

Wolvie

oh - ah - ty scrabbler

6:35 am

Wolvie

and sprite

6:35 am

sprite

the ca..... in the rye

6:36 am

Wolvie

got is sprite - ty

6:36 am

Scrabbler

But, TY for the ca4,7 clue--I got a bunch from that

6:36 am

Wolvie

yep - quite a few there

6:37 am

Wolvie

7 at least. :-)

6:37 am

Scrabbler

So far this is the kind of grid that boosts my Babble Self-Esteem rating--I am sure to crash later

6:37 am

sprite

lynxxx: in + greeting = in5/18. Drop last letter for the 4.

6:38 am

lynxxx

TY Sprite - I had them, just wondering what they meant?

6:38 am

sprite

ah, sorry! Let's see if I can find out.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Wolvie, I have 5 linked together--the ca4,7---I am looking for 2 more

6:38 am

Wolvie

don't for get more so, most, and the sometimes vowel

6:39 am

o-o

Now, Scrabbler, cut out the negative chatter. As one who is a healer, heal yourself from self-deprecation. Someone told me that; perhaps a doctor?

6:40 am

sprite

got the 5, lynxxx. The word is usually known in coalminers' jargon as an adverb of direction meaning "toward the coal face".

When used for above ground, it means "toward the house" or similar, for example, an "in5 field" is a field near the farmhouse. (yeah, right)

6:40 am

majmom

good morning all -does anyone have clue for bi 5/20?

6:40 am

Scrabbler

LOL, BR, but I excel at self-deprecation, in a humorous way. You are right, though! I finished yest's grid WITHOUT the list--with help from my Babble friends

6:40 am

Wolvie

very cool scrabbler - I love it when I don't need the list for the last few

6:40 am

sprite

yay Scrabbler! We will call you ScrabblerBabbler from now on ;)

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy & Aloyisius were guiding me

6:41 am

lynxxx

TY Sprite - that all seems quite logical actually - just old fashioned!

6:41 am

sprite

ah, you were in good hands then, but still, YOU did it

6:42 am

lynxxx

bi5.20 a body of water

6:42 am

Wolvie

not yet maj - but good morning

6:42 am

sprite

it seems so, lynxxx! There is also an out variant :)

6:42 am

Wolvie

ahhh - ty lynxx

6:42 am

Scrabbler

Wolvie--I need 1 more in the ca4,7 group

6:43 am

Wolvie

for that ca, I have ca 4/7, ca 5/16 x2, ca 6/27 x2, ca 5/20, and ca 7/40

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Yeah, like you know which one I need...LOL

6:43 am

Wolvie

which one are you missing?

6:44 am

Scrabbler

ca7,40 is missing!

6:44 am

Wolvie

that the most ca 4/7

6:44 am

Scrabbler

Oh, the superlative ending--I just saw it

6:44 am

o-o

superlative

6:44 am

Wolvie

:-)

6:45 am

Scrabbler

Th** ending changes everything now---**scrambling to find words with th** ending**

6:45 am

Wolvie

yes - it makes a lot of words, and watch out for that y

6:46 am

majmom

cant figure the body of water clue-any others for bi 5/20?

6:46 am

Scrabbler

The Y is dangerous, huh? Do I need a Kevlar vest?

6:46 am

sprite

majmom: rhymes with the dark part of day

6:47 am

lynxxx

bi5.20 another way of spelling what you do when you eat - you bi** with your teeth

6:47 am

Wolvie

lol - no sprite

6:47 am

Scrabbler

I had the word, Sprite, but didn't know what it meant

6:47 am

sprite

not?

6:48 am

Wolvie

nothing dangersus in babble land

6:48 am

Wolvie

except maybe my typing.;-0

6:48 am

Scrabbler

You're right, Wolvie--the letters are our friends!!

6:48 am

majmom

ty sprite-not a common word here -and lots of water in nova scotia

6:48 am

sprite

Wolvie, what was no? Not rhyming?

6:48 am

majmom

bights

6:49 am

sprite

yay mom, you got it, LOL

6:49 am

EspritdJean

you would see that word in australia

6:49 am

Scrabbler

How about another clue for that in5 and in4 combo that you mentioned earlier, Sprite?

6:49 am

Wolvie

that would be a plural maj. ;-)

6:49 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the grid bites sometimes, majmom.

6:49 am

majmom

sorry -now its common to everyone

6:49 am

o-o

noun: the dark negative feminine principle in Chinese dualistic cosmology (Example: "The interaction of yi* and yang maintains the harmony of the universe")

6:49 am

sprite

Scrabbler: in + hello and good*** for the 5.
Drop the last letter for the 4.

6:50 am

Wolvie

no problems maj - we all do it. :-)

6:50 am

o-o

We MUST have harmony in Babbleland!

6:50 am

Scrabbler

TY, Sprite--I agree, completely ridiculous words

6:51 am

sprite

lol BabbleRabble!

6:51 am

Wolvie

no babble - just champagne in the penalty box. :-)

6:51 am

sprite

champagne and chocolate!

6:51 am

Scrabbler

Yes, BR! Let's go Babble Team! (But I have to leave for the hospital very soon--2 newborns, then I go to the office for 3 hrs of sick kids)

6:51 am

Wolvie

right - choc very necessary

6:52 am

Wolvie

too bad scrabbler

6:52 am

Scrabbler

DARK chocolate!

6:52 am

sprite

you've got your day cut out for you, Scrabbler.

6:52 am

Wolvie

if it's any consolation, the day itself is going to pull me away soon - outdoors calls

6:52 am

Wolvie

the darkest - 73%!!

6:52 am

sprite

champagne, dark chocolate and strawberries... but then I might never come out again.

6:52 am

Scrabbler

I will return to Babble Land later though--so far I am having fun with th** grid

6:53 am

Wolvie

we will be putting ourselves in on purpose!

6:53 am

Scrabbler

10 min more--I'll eat breakfast in the car!

6:53 am

Scrabbler

LoriP

Yea hursh!

10:56 am

hurshy

the ones i just got were like anger but for the last vowel

10:56 am

sherb

and I still NEED to clean my keyboard...

10:56 am

hurshy

how do you clean a keyboard, mine needs it too

10:56 am

sherb

thanks hursh :D

10:57 am

bendamalina

i am looking for a ga6...i have three--the one who measures stuff, the collecting one, and the plural of the country singer's name

10:57 am

sherb

if I knew that....

10:57 am

LoriP

The keys pop off. Use rubbing alcohol and Qtips

10:57 am

hurshy

ga6 rhymes with red dot store ta6

10:57 am

hurshy

i have to take ALL THE KEYS off?? that sounds like a lot of work.

10:57 am

Haz1558

ga6/30 - the same structure as what people aim at when shooting.

10:58 am

sherb

turning it upside down and shaking out the muffin crumbs would probably be a good start... but hey...

10:58 am

bendamalina

umm...that's weird. thanks hurshy!

10:58 am

hurshy

mmmmm muffins

10:58 am

hurshy

not mmmmm skunk outside

10:58 am

LoriP

It's time intensive, but depends on how bad it is. I spilled coke in mine, so I ahd no choice. Cleaned up finest kind though.

10:58 am

sherb

ooh, thanks Haz... very Dickensian...

10:58 am

raelite

to clean a keyboard: unplug keyboard, throw out keyboard, plug in new key board, type away!

10:58 am

LoriP

LOL rae

10:59 am

Haz1558

Please - I hate Dickens....

10:59 am

hurshy

i like rae's method... how much is a new keyboard?

10:59 am

bendamalina

i use rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, with the computer off, sherb. if you need to get crumbs out, shaking works, and they also sell little canisters of compressed air you can use to blow dust out.

10:59 am

Judi

The clock strikes noon and I appear.

10:59 am

raelite

$10

10:59 am

hurshy

oooh, compressed air

10:59 am

hurshy

hickory, dickory dock

11:00 am

Judi

You could just put the keyboard on the floor and have the dog give it a good licking.

11:00 am

sherb

I prefer not to think about what's under the keys...

11:00 am

hurshy

i have ca4. they are more finicky.

11:00 am

LoriP

Really, rae has the easiest idea. Keyboards are cheap, compared to the time it takes to remove sticky Coke.... :)

11:00 am

bendamalina

well, what with croissants and muffins, i believe Judi's method might work

11:01 am

sherb

I have cordless keyboard and mouse... brilliant...

11:01 am

raelite

I usually buy two when they go on sale...

11:01 am

movieman

Has anyone noticed how screwed up Lickety is today?

11:01 am

hurshy

how can there be five more t words???????

11:01 am

bendamalina

my keyboard is attached to my laptop, so it's a bit more expensive to replace

11:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, Movieman.

11:02 am

sherb

*adds new keyboard to shopping list*

11:02 am

sherb

I only need four... I thought you were down to two or three?

11:03 am

hurshy

11:03 am

hurshy

3 S's, but 5 t's

11:03 am

sherb

do you have t + the best?

11:03 am

bendamalina

well, at 208 words I think I'm going to go take a shower and go to the farmer's market for some coffee and croissants. If ya'll hadn't started talking about croissants, I'd probably just finish this darn grid, but I'll be back later to finish...

11:03 am

sherb

11:03 am

hurshy

aha, thanks sherb!

Judi

11:20 am

LoriP

11:36 am

Douglas

11:36 am

hurshy

bake at 350 for 35 mins, cool and frost. i like icing rather than frosting. just mix milk and powdered sugar until thick, add a little vanilla, and food coloring if desired.

11:36 am

Dorens

no, but it sure isn't working here, erda

11:36 am

sherb

1 T = 1 tablespoon, and 1 t = 1 teaspoon, right?

11:36 am

harpjane

11:37 am

hurshy

11:37 am

Douglas

11:38 am

hurshy

i just do it in case there is an actual reason. and it IS fun.

11:38 am

hurshy

i have always enjoyed the making of the holes.

11:38 am

ConXshun

the 9 has to do with plans an army makes...

11:39 am

Douglas

11:39 am

ConXshun

bye douglas

11:39 am

hurshy

i had this like every birthday as a kid, and would make my mom write "live long and prosper" instead of "happy birthday" - which is hard to crowd onto an 8x8 cake!

Takuma Sato

I can see why, in MI!

1:05 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi, new here. Can't chat long--just checking this out after getting the toddler off to bed. The problem is, I have tried "brine" and "cite" and it says they "do not exist in the puzzle". I see all the letters there and am not using any twice; did I miss something when reading the rules???

1:05 pm

stidmama

looking tropical too, inge -- how was the rouladen last night? and the kartoffeln?

1:05 pm

inge

most people in the northern states have no idea what a bromeliad is. My husband speaks at many garden clubs for taht reason

1:05 pm

ConXshun

haven't seen you for a while BR. How are you doing?

1:05 pm

jean1953

yes i am bena, having to answer phone at work a mo, welcome to babble MonkeyGames:)

1:05 pm

stidmama

Monkey, the letters have to touch in the right order, too

1:05 pm

Takuma Sato

Hi Monkey -- the letters have to be contiguous

1:05 pm

sherb

monkey - the letters need to be next to each other...

1:06 pm

ConXshun

MonkeyGames - all letters have to follow on from each other

1:06 pm

inge

made some extra rouladen for us tonight. The mashed potatoes are my son's favorite, which he obviously never cooks himself

1:06 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh, it's just a simple old fashioned word search puzzle? Ok. Thanks.

1:06 pm

Takuma Sato

feel free to ask more questions -- I think we can find more than 4 ways to answer next time, too! ;)

1:06 pm

ConXshun

Thanks, all. Off now to make tomorrow's dinner, clean this place up, call my grandfather in the States, prep for tomorrow, look the family-transport trike over for anything that might interfere with the daycare run in the morning, take that badly-needed shower, and collapse into bed.

bake at 350 for 35 mins, cool and frost. (i like to use icing, not frosting, just mix powdered sugar with milk until it is thick, add a little vanilla and food coloring if desired).

hello ren8:)

This grid is a monkier's dream. I have typed in some of the most desperate words. I feel so validated.

2:14 pm

Aloyisius

got it, Hurshy.. copied it onto WordPerfect. Will post after I finish this grid (8 left)

2:14 pm

hurshy

v good grid, nod nod

2:14 pm

hurshy

thanks alo! :)

2:14 pm

Judi

Nanner bread is done baking. Time to go out and play in the spring weather. I do believe a hike in the woods is in order.

2:14 pm

Aloyisius

yw, tx for sharing the crazy cake recipe

2:15 pm

hurshy

tis my favorite cake :)

2:15 pm

inge

hurshy, I copied it also, will try it tonight. Thanks

2:15 pm

Judi

Hurshy - Once I buy some cocoa powder, I will bake that cake and take it into work for the guinea pigs (I mean cops) to sample.

2:16 pm

kittychan

has anyone else noticed anything hinky about lickety?

2:16 pm

Judi

Don't think I have an 8x8 pan though. Would it work in a loaf pan?

2:16 pm

hurshy

oh, judi, if there are a lot of cops, you better make more than one. it's only 8x8 you know.

2:17 pm

hurshy

i think it might have to be 8x8 cause of how it rises from vinegar and baking soda

2:17 pm

hurshy

i don't know if it would have enough power to rise loaf height

2:18 pm

hurshy

you can pick one up easily at walmart or a grocery store though

2:18 pm

Judi

Yes, a loaf pan could be a disaster. I will just double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13x2.

2:18 pm

hurshy

see i dunno if you can double it either, or if it only works on a small scale...

2:18 pm

hurshy

it might work fine, or it might not, i just don't know.

2:18 pm

inge

found my cacao powder, will start the cake NOW

2:18 pm

Judi

Gotta go - the tweety birds and sunshiney weather insist I come out to play. Later, all!

2:38 pm

Jadeomoan

YAY!! I found the st9 all by myself!!!

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

Hints for st9?

2:39 pm

inge

Hurshy, have you ever make that cake with almond flavoring? I was tempted to change flavor, but decided to stick with the original the first time around

2:39 pm

hurshy

methinks alo left.

2:39 pm

bendamalina

eh, who cares :) I don't, but I have enough friends who are vegan that I take note when I find a recipe, in case I need an idea for something if they come over.

2:39 pm

Jadeomoan

Scrabbler, st9= Risk is a game of str****** moves to concquer the world

2:39 pm

okay! consider it done. I'll ask swmbo about the password thing if I can't figure it out.

2:49 pm

hurshy

2:50 pm

hurshy

i guess that is true of all cakes? but in case we have any rookies...

2:50 pm

stidmama

done, with addendum :-)

2:50 pm

hurshy

AND can you add that my mom says she thinks you CAN double it and use a 9x13 and it works fine?

"cookie rookies" *giggle*

3:11 pm

hurshy

i think before i didn't pay attention about the validation email

3:11 pm

hetty

No, not 60 yet,Stid. Would you belive 54?

3:11 pm

stidmama

Great idea, hetty, and then lots of cake for all!

3:15 pm

hurshy

we have a ta*** understanding (spelt wrong)

3:15 pm

stidmama

enhanced driver's licenses will require proof of citizenship to get them, will be slightly more expensive and will be issued in my state starting later this year. Banff is a wonderful place! you'll enjoy it.

3:15 pm

hetty

Oh Stid, please do. I'm trying to persuade Alan to take a litle trip south before the end of May--we have a godchild in Folsom CA and an ex-best man in San Francisco to go see

3:15 pm

harpjane

well, we don't have specific plans yet but usually we go skiing in the Canadian Rockies in Feb. We went to the Grand Canyon this year so we didn't have to deal with the new rules

3:15 pm

Yahooo, 200. I may be back later.

3:36 pm

hurshy

penalty box for majmom!!

3:36 pm

hetty

I had apuzzlement too. Wonder if it's the same one.

3:36 pm

harpjane

Does anybody know where I left my socket wrenches?

3:36 pm

hurshy

ta5/14 rhymes with BIG

3:36 pm

bendamalina

did you check the garage, harpjane?

3:36 pm

harpjane

that's a puzzle, harder to solve than the grid

3:36 pm

bendamalina

my socket wrenches are usually under my bed, unless I'm using them...

3:37 pm

majmom

sorry never thought about the rules

3:37 pm

hurshy

lol

3:37 pm

jillibus

I just booted up and went here of course, then brought up Lickety and it had all yesterday's stuff on it. So I refreshed, and it still has yesterday's stuff on it but today's grid. I've refreshed a couple more times -- same thing! Any suggestions?

3:37 pm

hurshy

lol

3:37 pm

hurshy

everyone haves this puzzlement

3:37 pm

helenkeller

3:38 pm

ren8

3:38 pm

harpjane

the garage is full of memoriabilia that has to be sorted out, tools are in the dreaded Tool Shed and I'm not tall enough to step over all the junk

3:38 pm

jillibus

ok -- how? This is IE7

3:38 pm

hurshy

leave it to bex to find a simple solution!

3:38 pm

pabtrek

3:38 pm

TeaNCrackers

hi all

3:38 pm

pabtrek

hi helen

3:38 pm

jillibus

Hi T!

3:38 pm

hetty

YES Jilli! Same puzzlement as mine. Haz had it too. She pointed out Lickety would be asleep (Ozze time) so I took her advice and manulally deleted them all. Grrr.

3:39 pm

harpjane

it's a problem for a lot of folks today jill, some people simply re-booted and it came back ok. I had to switch from Firefox to IE.

3:39 pm

ConXshun

just a look in before retiring: and see jullibus's quandry. I've had the same problem. Ursh suggested removing Lickety's cookies in your browser. It should do the trick.

3:39 pm

helenkeller

hey - they just had the annual sock monkey madness festival in rockford, illinois - now who is it here that does the sock monkeys?

3:39 pm

hurshy

try bex's thing, try bex's thing!

3:39 pm

majmom

can i get a clue for ta 6/21 anyone?

3:39 pm

hetty

Refreshing didn't help at all.

3:39 pm

Jadeomoan

go to tools, options, main, clear history

3:39 pm

hurshy

toe sock monkey?

3:39 pm

jillibus

Well, I'm using IE now, not Firefox...

3:39 pm

harpjane

I'll take lickety's cookies if they're chocolate

3:39 pm

hurshy

but she hasn't been around in ag4.

3:40 pm

hurshy

ta6/21 ends like 2 piece bathing suit

3:40 pm

bendamalina

hey harpjane...I think you should take jadeomoan's advice to find your socket wrenches

3:40 pm

helenkeller

hurshy - whenever is see 'pabtrek' here i just automatically think it's alex trebek - so we've decided his alias isn't very good since we know who he is :)

3:40 pm

ConXshun

don't all browser have cookies?

3:40 pm

hurshy

LOL

3:40 pm

ConXshun

I use safari.... and after a while it happened there too..

3:40 pm

hurshy

i don't, i think trek, and i don't know what the pab is for. LOL

3:40 pm

harpjane

you think if i refressh my socket wrenches will show up on the kitchen counter?

3:41 pm

bendamalina

try it, harp...can't hurt!

3:41 pm

helenkeller

nope, not toesockmonkey (kinda obvious,no?), it's someone else who does them, it's in her bio, but i can't remember who it is right now

3:41 pm

Jadeomoan

should be the same concept jilli.

3:41 pm

pabtrek

and i will never tell

3:41 pm

helenkeller

well hurshy - of course, you would focus on the 'trek' part, lol

3:41 pm

hurshy

my dad thought his dad was hip when they were working on the car and his dad said, "son, will you pass the socket to me?"

3:41 pm

jillibus

THANK YOU BEX!!! Worked just fine!!!

3:41 pm

harpjane

is tsm here? haven't seen her for ages!

3:42 pm

hurshy

why not? i want to know what the pab means!!!

3:42 pm

bendamalina

I'm glad i have a toolkit that keeps every tool secure...I'm a pretty scattered person, but I always make sure to put my tools back so I can find them again.
