herinfernallady

so i am missing a Co even in this tiny grid i cant find one silly C. Elder it is a terrible condition. I am now working (free) for a mental health org to give back

4:13 am

4:15 am

herinfernallady

How about i have 6 co 4s

4:15 am

FranMag

6? that's not possible

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Elder if you can give back you do. i heard the best comment about volunteering 'i am a consumer of services, its time i return some of the consumtion

4:16 am

elder

I was very fortunate not to have depression during or following pregnancy but i have friends who did and its awful given it should be a happy time.

4:17 am

FranMag

it's not surprising though elder, considering all the changes and the hormones that go through your body with pregnancy and childbirth.

6:03 am

grannymaxx

ta 5.14 = ta4.5+ ** thru the door

6:03 am

hydra

ta5/14 is a colour like puce, which is hard to describe.

6:03 am

Fishbulb

Huzzah - I'm now pro! :D

6:03 am

Haz1558

You're not suggesting any babblers are average, are you?

6:04 am

hydra

Great! Welcome to the club, Fishbulb.

6:04 am

grannymaxx

6:05 am

Fishbulb

hahaha hydra, its true, you should - I've been playing babble for a few years now and never quite got around to signing up

6:05 am

Haz1558

You've obviously not heard of the expression 'being good to yourself!' Get some coffee!

6:05 am

hydra

My 'being good to myself' today consists of buying some balm tissues for my cold!

6:05 am

carleekat

if i do ..i wake up "dad" and as it is fathers day

6:06 am

Haz1558

Those balm tissues are nice, aren't they?

6:06 am

hydra

No good for wiping your glasses on, though

6:06 am

Haz1558

I know cloth hankies are gentler on a sore nose, but who has an everlasting supply of them?

6:07 am

hydra

My friend is allergic to tissues. It'[s the bleach in them. She gets through scores of cloth hankies so I always know what to get her for Xmas.

evanonut

not sure feather....i'll turn some nobs and see what happens.

7:32 am

featherbee

goldies, when they're that small, try monkeying them for a while. for example, you know that the u and n add up to 3 points, so all you need are two more tiles that add up to 3 points for the rest. play with that!

7:32 am

sukee

Ah...go it. Thanks :)

7:32 am

goldies

ok

7:33 am

goldies

got it 1 left and will let dad get the word bye for now

7:33 am

featherbee

do it by a system. try each letter for the third letter, changing only the last letter. then try a different third letter, changing the last letter. that way you won't miss one. that's how i do it.

7:33 am

Funny, Monnie--world peace through Babbling--LOL. And the kid quote. I remember when my oldest nephew was learning the 10 commandments. When we discussed adultery and I asked him if he knew what that meant he said, "It's when someone pretends they are an adult, but they aren't." LOL--that is my life--impersonating an adult.

9:49 am

BigRed119

Thanks. Didn't think ther ecoud be many...

9:49 am

goldies

whats alternate???

9:50 am

hurshy

this grid is too small, some of us need to occupy more time, so there is a second grid posted at babblers anonymous, under general

9:50 am

goldies

ok ill go do that

9:51 am

inge

well, hurshy I found 50 in the alternate!

9:51 am

hurshy

i'm at 129 so far

9:51 am

goldies

where is it does licketys page work for it whats the site called like playbabble.com?

9:52 am

hurshy

goldies, it's much more low tech. go to the babblers anonymous link at the bottom

9:52 am

goldies

ok

9:52 am

hurshy

if lickety comes around we'll see if he'll facilitate the fun, but for now we must make do :)

9:52 am

Strider

hurshy - so that's 44 words, 288 points in the alt grid?

9:52 am

carleekat

how many words so far on the new grid?

9:53 am

hurshy

no strider, 288 words in the alt grid

9:53 am

hurshy

we don't know how many points yet

9:53 am

carleekat

wow... 288?

9:53 am

FMitch

and please NO clues in this log for the alt one otherwise it will be too confusing for everyone.

9:53 am

Strider

what's the 44 stand for?

9:53 am

hurshy

44 is this grid

9:54 am

carleekat

we can use lickety's chat for alternate grid?

9:54 am

hurshy

aw, fmitch... by the end of the day we're gonna have to!

9:54 am

Strider

thks.

9:54 am

hurshy

oh there is a lickety chat?

9:54 am

hurshy

how do i get to that then

9:55 am

tijani

whats everybody talking about

9:55 am

carleekat

in the expert

9:55 am

FMitch

Oh well be ready for confusion then. I grid a day is enough for me.

9:55 am

hurshy

i haven't got the babble expert browser

9:55 am

hurshy

how do i get it

9:55 am

hurshy

i love confusion :)

9:56 am

carleekat

hmm... then before a clue type alt ta6

9:56 am

carleekat

or A ta6

9:56 am

hurshy

that won't help, if people have just come in and don't know there is an alt grid, they will still be confused

9:57 am

goldies

is babble anomynous usually slow or is it my computer

9:57 am

hurshy

i think the lickety thing is a good idea i just need to get the browser

9:57 am

carleekat

we jsut say alternate grid...no biggie but at least

9:57 am

carleekat

let me see if I have the link still hurshy

Good day, Babblers! So, what pets will you be babysitting whilst the overlords are away, Hurshy?

11:05 am

hurshy

4 cats and a dog

11:05 am

hurshy

the fifth cat is going to be boarded as she gets scared by one of the other cats and pees on the floor if no one is there to break up the scaring.

11:06 am

Judi

Good God! That's a kennel full. Hope you're charging them premium rates. Either that or they are giving you rent credit.

11:06 am

hurshy

they have another gal to take care of the horses which is good cause i don't know much about them

11:06 am

hurshy

they are giving me rent credit, despite my protests.

11:07 am

Judi

Methinks thou dost protest too much. You are doing them a favor. They would spend a fortune on kenneling you weren't there.

11:07 am

hurshy

yeah but i love animals and theirs are quite nice

11:08 am

Judi

Well, double bonus for you then - getting paid to do something you enjoy. Go with the flow, babe.

2:10 pm

jillibus

288 is too many for me today -- too bad! Too small and too big in one day!

2:11 pm

hurshy

yes but jilli

2:11 pm

hurshy

the alternate has no effect on your rankings, so you don't have to worry if you just find a few :)

it won't go away at midnight

3:20 pm

pinkhatlil

did anyone find that an11 on the alt grid?

3:20 pm

pam

what a spirit does to a home, mummy, for the h

3:20 pm

carleekat

yeap

3:21 pm

pinkhatlil

anyone need clues?

3:21 pm

pam

how'd you know it was an an?

3:21 pm

hurshy

yes pink it is against-nonsynthetic

3:21 pm

hurshy

because sprite found it earlier pam

3:21 pm

carleekat

didn't goldies was the first to find it

3:21 pm

carleekat

i mean...we didn't....it was goldies to find that one first

3:21 pm

pinkhatlil

i think sprite told hurshy, and goldies found it

3:21 pm

hurshy

no, goldies wouldn't have found it if sprite hadn't already found it and said there was an an11! lol

3:21 pm

carleekat

ah..ok... sprite then

3:22 pm

mummy

oh, sorry got that one already Pam

3:22 pm

hurshy

he looked on morewords.

3:22 pm

pam

Ah, thanks!

3:22 pm

carleekat

well..u never know...

3:22 pm

joem

Bye everbody

3:22 pm

pam

it's ok, mummy! 8-)

3:22 pm

pam

bye, jow

3:22 pm

pam

*joe

3:22 pm

pinkhatlil

he was well chuffed to have found it....quite sweet really

3:23 pm

pinkhatlil

bye joe, have a good night

3:23 pm

hurshy

one more i.... hmmmm

3:23 pm

carleekat

he'sa cute kid

3:24 pm

pinkhatlil

i feel bad for him sometimes when other babblers have a moan about him

3:24 pm

carleekat

so do I

3:24 pm

mummy

hey, got the e, just need that elusive h, bottom right

3:24 pm

carleekat

I figure if he spend so much time on a computer...he must not have alot of kids aorund him

3:24 pm

carleekat

and if he is here..he'snot into sites he shouldn't be in..

3:25 pm

pinkhatlil

maybe he is lonely and feels matbe a sense of validation on babble

3:25 pm

pam

All true, but I zone out with all of the questions, even though he seems to be smart

3:25 pm

Haz1558

Well, I'm one that moans about him, but I'll tell him to his face as well when he's being a nuisance. If he wants to play with adults, he needs to learn to conform or at least not dominate the chat log unnecessarily.

3:26 pm

carleekat

now that he is using the expert and more words etc..he's not asking nearly as many questions

3:26 pm

Haz1558

Yes, but it took a lot of persistence to get him to do that.

3:26 pm

pam

I am with you, haz

3:26 pm

pinkhatlil

i'd rather my child play babble than go on other websites that are totally inappropiate

3:26 pm

carleekat

now I get the feeling he that he asks cus he just isn't sure what to talk to us about

3:27 pm

carleekat

exactly pink..although is not our responsibility... I figure there so many of us...at 5 mins per...its not too bad

3:27 pm

Haz1558

I agree, pinkhat, but why should we be hijacked because he is 10. His parents are responsible for his internet safety.

3:28 pm

pam

I know, pink, and I am not suggesting making this adults only, but since the vast majority of us are adults, I feel he requires too much at times and a parent should be around

3:28 pm

carleekat

i think with more words haz he found the resources a little less overwelming...

3:28 pm

mummy

I got Fireworks, only the second ever time! Feeling very chuffed, got to get into the important things like ironing now! btw what is the 'alt grid', you are all playing today?

3:28 pm

pam

Yay, mummy!!!!!!!!!!!

3:28 pm

carleekat

<POMPOM TWIRL AN DTOSS> for mummy

3:28 pm

pam

ON babbler's anonymous, under general, mummy

3:28 pm

pinkhatlil

at least you has settled down now, i agree with you, but circumstances may not allow them to monitor what he is doing on the internet

3:28 pm

hurshy

it's just cause some people were sad only 44 on a sunday.

3:29 pm

pinkhatlil

yay for mummy!!!!

3:29 pm

mom23

h5/14--what ghosts do (lower right h)

3:29 pm

carleekat

I agree haz that his parents should be doing more monitoring..but... again..he is learning... and its not as if he is rude...

3:29 pm

mummy

thanks Pam, Carlee, thanks for the altgrid info pam thanks pink

3:29 pm

pam

Well, no child should be totally unmonitored, so I hope his parents check in periodically to make sure he is babbling...

3:30 pm

pam

No, he isn't rude, but he can dominate the chat, and frankly, that's not why I play--to be barraged for clues so one person can finish

3:30 pm

pinkhatlil

he's a good kid--your welcome mummy

3:31 pm

pinkhatlil

i reckon all that will calm down now he is familiar with the resources available to him

3:31 pm

Haz1558

I hope so, pinkhat - just hope that his clones realise the same things are available to them as well.

3:32 pm

carleekat

I miss him when he isn't here...

3:32 pm

pam

seconding that, haz

3:32 pm

pinkhatlil

oh most definitely

3:32 pm

hurshy

i agree that a) he can be annoying sometimes and b) he is less annoying than he started out. but, even speaking as someone who is not a kid fan in general, i think some people (not present) keep saying he's a troll which is a little unfair, esp now. suffer the little children...

3:33 pm

pinkhatlil

...but its a learning process, and he can educate his friends

3:35 pm

carleekat

I think I have 1/2 the t's now...

3:35 pm

hurshy

another saying comes to mind sometimes... something about people who live in glass houses...

3:35 pm

pam

LOLOL, hursh

3:36 pm

pinkhatlil

what makes you say that hurshy???

3:37 pm

hurshy

Certain Persons who are Not Present might be behooved to consider their level of Annoyingness before Complaining about golidies

3:37 pm

Haz1558

Antipodean persons?

3:37 pm

pinkhatlil

ah ha.... i see!

3:38 pm

pinkhatlil

((((carlee)))) are you still there?

3:38 pm

hurshy

could be, could be haz

3:38 pm

Haz1558

Are you stroking your chin as you say that?

3:38 pm

carleekat

yeap.....why?...looking up antipodean

3:38 pm

hurshy

and nodding thoughtfully

3:39 pm

pinkhatlil

thanks cos i don't know what it means lol

3:39 pm

3:39 pm

Haz1558

Gazing into the distance?

3:39 pm

pinkhatlil

just asking you went quiet

3:39 pm

carleekat

( contrary )

3:39 pm

hurshy

indubitably, watson

3:39 pm

carleekat

i'm reading the dictionary as I work through the alt grid

3:40 pm

pinkhatlil

3:40 pm

Haz1558

A gentle yet whimsical smile playing about your lips?

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

3:43 pm

carleekat

3:47 pm

pam

Sounds icky, feather...

3:47 pm

featherbee

so i have a little memory stick thingy (like how technical i am?) and i can't use it to do my report cards on the laptop because it's not registering. i'll have to do them on the computer downstairs, which means after daniel's in bed, cause downstairs is not daniel proof.

carleekat

I finished at 7 am today....

3:50 pm

featherbee

actually, earlier this afternoon i was looking around trying to find a place we could chat about that grid away from here, so we didn't confuse everyone. got tired of looking.

3:50 pm

3:50 pm

carleekat

there is the lickety chat....

3:51 pm

carleekat

but I think most of everyone now have finished the grid yes?.... I think most of us on the alternate now

3:51 pm

hurshy

but one doesn't want to leave THIS chat, and it's too much to have both, plus the other grid, all open at once

3:51 pm

featherbee

well i didn't know if everyone was on lickety chat

3:51 pm

featherbee

if we were all on AIM, i could open a chat room through that, which would just be a small window

3:51 pm

hurshy

yeah carlee had to send me the link

3:52 pm

hurshy

i'm on AIM but i think carlee's right, nobody cares at this point

3:52 pm

3:54 pm

carleekat

night pink

3:54 pm

hurshy

yeah it helps to put the grid in excel and then in a separate workbook put in your words

3:55 pm

pam

And, since there is an alternate, if we are on this chat, we should just pay attention if someone needs clues to the baby grid

3:55 pm

carleekat

I have my words in 2 columns..one column I keep adding to and then I have excel alphabetise

3:55 pm

carleekat
