VolleymomDee

yw lol at jakes mom, but soooo understand.... go in your jammies and stay calm !!

4:27 am

jakes-mum

do you think they'd let me in with just a bathrobe on?

4:27 am

Haz1558

You think you've got problems Liz? jakes-mum has to drink three gallons of water as well as find 535 words.

4:27 am

jakes-mum

it would stop them geting gel all over my clothes though

4:27 am

FMitch

WEll it is a very stylish robe j-m, you could set a new trend.

4:27 am

Lizsark

LOL Gotta scan then J-m?

4:28 am

Haz1558

They might think you were wanting to check in, though.

4:28 am

jakes-mum

yes (looks dejected) and it's not ever far enough along for them totell me what the sex is

4:28 am

Lizsark

aww I hope all goes well. I loved having scans for my two, but they couldn't tell me the sex for 100% either time

4:29 am

jakes-mum

and I think fm and haz are taking way to much pleasure in my forthcoming suffering

4:29 am

Haz1558

It's the sex that got you to this point.

4:29 am

VolleymomDee

I was a dork and never asked to find out the sex... probably different for a second child (only able to have one)

4:29 am

Lizsark

lol haz

4:29 am

VolleymomDee

lol

4:29 am

Haz1558

Volley said a wooooord.

VolleymomDee

ohhhhhh shoot throw me the fish... soooo sorry

4:29 am

jakes-mum

4:29 am

Haz1558

That's me out of the penalty box, anyway.

4:29 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, was just typing the same thing!!
Setting up Handel's Water Music to play full volume for j-m.

4:30 am

Lizsark

4:30 am

Haz1558

I could put up an ic4/5 of Niagra Falls?

4:30 am

jakes-mum

the worst thing is I am now trying to hold off going to the loo so I can go bang on 11 oclock to have the best chance of gting there without being desperate

4:30 am

VolleymomDee

one of my favorite places ... (love the Canadian side best)

4:31 am

FMitch

Good idea Haz, I have Sasha Distel as back up with "Raindrops keep falling on my head" although this was overused at Wimbledon.

4:32 am

Frances

How about 'Eye cover the water front'

4:32 am

Haz1558

How about Gene Kelly singing and dancing in the rain? Or even Eric and Ernie's version?

4:33 am

FMitch

Takes self off to penalty box

4:33 am

Haz1558

Song from My Fair Lady ' The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain'

4:33 am

jakes-mum

I reiterate, to much pleasure in my suffering if you keep on I wont tell any of you what the baby is when I find out in 6 weeks

4:33 am

VolleymomDee

yay I am out of box ty fm!!

4:34 am

Haz1558

Okay, we'll try to be se6/21 now.

4:35 am

jakes-mum

I didn't have that word haz TY lol

4:35 am

VolleymomDee

se 5/12 also relates to jmum

4:36 am

Haz1558

Don't worry, jakes-mum - I have to have a sm5/12 test tomorrow!

4:37 am

jakes-mum

I must admit that is just as bad and you don't have the nice bit of seeing a baby to look forward to (one of the upsides of pregnancy no sm5's until after)

4:38 am

Haz1558

It'll be okay, just not what you look forward to!

4:38 am

FMitch

and on that note, I had better go and do some work (sorry to swear), will be lurking on and off. Happy and extended babbling!

6:05 am

Haz1558

Hello all, back from necessary duties.

6:05 am

greenbayladi

hi Haz

6:05 am

carleekat

its a huge delay with big grids lori

6:06 am

carleekat

its cus his program has a scan through at first before sending to babble...

6:06 am

carleekat

so as not to overload babble

6:06 am

LoriP

G'd mornign Haz. Okay carlee, so there's nno point in retsrating then.

6:06 am

carleekat

so..it runs through his list first...

6:06 am

lynxxx

I'm not yet Lori, but since you came on having issues! - not that I think its you or anything - just using Babble direct

6:06 am

carleekat

nope..i don't use lickety add on anything over 250 words...

6:06 am

LoriP

Thanks carlee. Are you done Haz?

6:06 am

Haz1558

Typical - husband is home an hour early - could he be looking for lunch?

6:07 am

carleekat

I "send words to clues" periodically

6:07 am

LoriP

I'll try your advice then, and ditch Lickety add.

6:07 am

Haz1558

No, Lori, not finished, I'm being sabotaged.

6:07 am

LoriP

Direct the hub to yonder can opener, explain to him the dimensions of this grid......

6:07 am

Haz1558

I could, couldn't I?

6:08 am

Atalante

even men can manage to make bread and butter

6:08 am

LoriP

LOL I would. The hub knows babble is integral to my sanity.

6:08 am

Haz1558

Back shortly..

6:09 am

LoriP

***not that my sanity is open to debate here.....*** :)

6:10 am

Haz1558

8:39 am

8:40 am

Dorens

yes, annie, but I think so far is the operative term here! at some point, it may(just may)become frustrating

8:40 am

Anniebrook

when the grid is this huge I dont use the list because the only way is to print it out and I would have a book on my desk

8:41 am

NonoNanette

is this the largest grid ever?

8:41 am

Anniebrook

the largest one I have seen, nono

8:41 am

Dorens

i only go to the grid after i'm half done.. and i can't imagine ever getting there at this point. (nono, it's the largest I can remember.... remember 444 as the largest to this point that I've done)

9:03 am

sprite

always in for a joke

9:04 am

carleekat

its a bit long..but cute..made me laugh

9:04 am

carleekat

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive
double-pane energy-efficient kind.

Yesterday, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was
complaining that the windows had been installed a whole year ago and I
hadn't paid for them yet.

Hellloooo? Now just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am
automatically stupid. So I told him just exactly what his fast-
talking sales guy had told ME last year... namely, that in just ONE
YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!
"Helllooooo"? (I told him). "It's been a year"

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just
hung up....

He hasn't called back, probably too embarrassed about forgetting the
guarantee they made me.

Bet he won't underestimate a blonde anymore.

Now That's Efficient!

9:04 am

Takuma Sato

yikes - there are more 'S' words off this one tile than there were in the entire grid yesterday

9:22 am

Takuma Sato

what's the temp like, bichon?

9:22 am

Takuma Sato

I remember when I lived by Sac, it'd be 100+ there, but we'd need jackets if we were heading to the bay area

9:23 am

bichon

9:23 am

9:24 am

Takuma Sato

I imagine it's still foggy, eh?

9:24 am

Takuma Sato

wow, sprite -- you're on a roll: first you gray the 'K' then you get a 9?

9:24 am

Stevie-O

holy crap there are a lot of words today

9:24 am

Stevie-O

9:24 am

EvaNadine

9:24 am

Atalante

535

9:24 am

Takuma Sato

9:25 am

aÅ«

ineresting

9:25 am

sprite

your guess was correct

9:25 am

sprite

not bad hey, Takuma :) And lots of words in between!

9:26 am

sprite

the compound 9 I just found starts T

9:26 am

Takuma Sato

thanks!

9:27 am

EvaNadine

the only tile i have no words for would be the lonely single E on the right -- any hints?

9:28 am

smaller

535???!!!!! My vocab isn't that extensive to hold that many d#@* words. oy

9:28 am

sprite

so there are 2 Tr9 words, both compounds.

9:28 am

o-o

this grid is like the ad that sought students to learn Chinese in 10,000 easy lessons.

9:28 am

Takuma Sato

lol smaller

9:28 am

Takuma Sato

They Say the average person only uses about 300 different words a day

9:29 am

Takuma Sato

so this is going to be a challenge for those of us who are average...

9:29 am

smaller

300? oh i'm going to cry. maybe i should buy some adult diapers b/c clearly there will be no time to break for bathroom time

9:30 am

Atalante

noone is average

9:30 am

greenbayladi

anyone have a clue for um 5,18

9:30 am

sprite

EvaN... I should have, because I have all Es, but I have trouble figuring out which one comes from that E, lol

9:30 am

sprite

I think it is the Ea5, having things to listen with

9:30 am

Takuma Sato

eva: it is the adjective form of a body part

9:30 am

EvaNadine

i bet, sprite!
there are tons of Es today!

9:30 am

imdone

right E is having the things on the side of your head

9:30 am

aÅ«

good for thoose who knowe this language

9:30 am

greenbayladi

ty sprite

9:31 am

Takuma Sato

well-read books are dog-ea5

9:31 am

um5 is what the ref (referee) did at the game

9:31 am

EvaNadine

ahh,t hanks -- fish me for that one!

9:31 am

9:31 am

au, think of it as a delightfully tortuous way to learn the language

9:32 am

smaller

no fishing allowed today, EvaN... this is one grid where you don't see words for looking :)

9:32 am

Takuma Sato

greenbayladi

how about um4,7

9:32 am

EvaNadine

well, at least i have a minimum of one word per tile, now!
hehe

9:33 am

Atalante

short for another word for referees

9:33 am

imdone

many refs

9:33 am

EvaNadine

green -- UM4 = refs in baseball

9:33 am

Takuma Sato

before one can be said to have um6, it must be the case that one um4

9:33 am

carleekat

wow..... 4 tiles greys..more then 1/2 way now...

9:33 am

greenbayladi

ty

9:33 am

9:34 am

LoriP

Completion of this grid makes one far from me 8/55

9:35 am

9:35 am

hurshy

NonoNanette

g'morning stid

9:46 am

Takuma Sato

wow -- temp just dropped by about 5 degF and it started raining, with the sun still out to the east

9:46 am

RIEMANN!!!!!!!! how are YOU? how did the interview go? Are you employed again? By whom? (inquiring minds want to know)

9:46 am

sprite

you will, Stid, you will... I just know it ;)

9:47 am

NonoNanette

your icon is fantastic. Ata did a very nice job on it

9:47 am

Atalante

9:47 am

Takuma Sato

thanks again, sprite (and ata). I'll get it soon

9:47 am

Tecnogrrl

hi Stid!

9:47 am

riemann

I really liked the school. I'm waiting for the phone call to know whether the feeling's mutual.

9:47 am

stidmama

Ooh. got the 9 -- it means, Takuma, to make distinctions between species...

9:47 am

sprite

owwwwww stid, you almost give it away!

9:48 am

stidmama

Yes, and if you go to her deviantart pages you can find both prototypes and all the other cards she made that are similar.

9:48 am

Takuma Sato

got it -- hrm, should have known that one, and I used to use it all the time in my work

9:48 am

stidmama

oh oh, sorry sprite *readjusts thinking cap*

9:48 am

stidmama

well, I hope you get it -- will you turn down the other offer if this one doesn't decide in time?

9:49 am

hurshy

someone explain to me how me5/14, already a latin plural, then GETS another latin plural!!!

9:49 am

sprite

*grins at stid*
my Atalanta card is just as pretty... it has a place of honour among my birthdaycards :)

9:49 am

Takuma Sato

lol hursh

9:49 am

Uneaixoise

my thoughts exactly, hursh!!

9:49 am

stidmama

because dear hurshy, enable is DIS and plurals stymie lots of people

9:50 am

Takuma Sato

Enable is inscrutable

9:50 am

riemann

The school in IN knows they need to make a decision today and call me so I can answer the school in NC. We even talked about WHEN I would call NC.

9:50 am

stidmama

birthday? Did I miss something? (are you OLD yet?)

9:50 am

sprite

because the first plural can also be a singular with another meaning

9:50 am

sprite

I have been old for years, stid, lol. Turned 41 yesterday.

9:50 am

stidmama

Very good. will keep fingers crossed. And, since the car is at the shop, unless I am off to pick it up this evening, I will be here ALL DAY waiting to get a phone call to know where to send the next batch of jam!

9:51 am

jakes-mum

Well happy birthday, little sister! (I am, you know, more than a month older than you). :-)

jakes-mum

9:53 am

hurshy

9:56 am

NonoNanette

bye bye lori

9:56 am

stidmama

it is, if you are hungry, eat; if you are tired, sleep; if you are cold, bundle up.

9:56 am

hurshy

good cause i'm not hungry anyway

9:57 am

stidmama

but no matter what, drink lots of clear fluids to help your body flush out the germs

9:58 am

redshoes

clear fluids like vodka?

9:58 am

sprite

that is it, stid, couldn't have put it any clearer :)

9:58 am

sprite

vodka is good for almost everything

9:58 am

stidmama

oooh. Found the shakespeare play the kids and I will see Thursday night... did you-all know we're going to Ashland Oregon Weds and staying to Friday with my grandfather?

9:58 am

Atalante

vodka is very important

9:58 am

stidmama

LOL red -- it has its uses!

9:58 am

Takuma Sato

lol red -- I don't know if that's the kind of flushing that helps here ;)

9:59 am

redshoes

hehehe... actually, I would prefer a silver tequila... =) too bad there aren't any clear whiskeys...

9:59 am

hurshy

well i hain't got vodka

9:59 am

Takuma Sato

there are, red -- it's called moonshine ;)

9:59 am

o-o

vodka is almost as good as cola drinks for cleaning battery terminals

9:59 am

redshoes

actually, I drink hot toddies with whiskey, tea, lemon & honey when I'm not feeling well in the winter. and sometimes when I am. ha.

10:00 am

hurshy

somebody's been watching mythbusters...

10:00 am

redshoes

sorry, Takuma. I meant clear whiskeys that WON

10:00 am

stidmama

good to know, BR!

10:00 am

Atalante

redshoes, my scottish phd supervisor swore by that for colds. and I must say, it always works for me

10:00 am

redshoes

oops... *won't take the lining out of my stomach

10:01 am

Takuma Sato

ah -- important distinction, red

10:01 am

redshoes

What play are you going to see Stid?

10:01 am

jakes-mum

ohhh I so want to put in rampart

10:01 am

stidmama

I drink hot lemonade with rum when I have coughs in the winter, does that count? :-)

10:01 am

stidmama

otherwise, I can't stand rum... (some pirate me, eh?)

10:01 am

Atalante

sounds almost as good!

10:02 am

stidmama

you can put it in, jakes, but itwon't stay!

10:02 am

redshoes

I keep wanting to put in emus. =)

10:02 am

sprite

jaegertea.... tea with rum when cold or having a cold... I don't like it, but it helps. And then into bed :)

10:05 am

hurshy

i'm up to 275, and i've got some work been emailed to me, so i'm taking a work break.

10:05 am

Erda

I don't think it's fair to give us a humongous grid like this one and include words like those in the EM category. Not bloody fair!

10:05 am

stidmama

*grin* lickety's name is in the grid!

10:05 am

stidmama

go carlee go!

10:05 am

licketySplitAUS

10:05 am

lol yes stid, so it is :)

10:05 am

licketySplitAUS

Which word?

10:06 am

10:06 am

licketySplitAUS

10:06 am

licketySplitAUS

heehehhehe - got me there!

10:06 am

stidmama

rofl, yes that word! :-)

10:06 am

stidmama

now everyone is wondering what your name is... but I can't tell them!

10:07 am

licketySplitAUS

Man - what a night! It's 1am now

10:07 am

stidmama

why up so late?

10:07 am

Takuma Sato

Hmm. I'm missing an "n" from the lower tile -- are any of those really unusual?

10:07 am

Angelsong

hey, stid!, hi, lickety! thank goodness for the Babble Expert today!

10:07 am

licketySplitAUS

I'm making the most of my freedom

10:07 am

stidmama

hi angelsong!

10:08 am

sprite

don't think so, Takuma. The weirder Ns come from the top N :)

10:08 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey angel! - BTW - if things run slow at the end of your words - blame me - it's all my fault

10:08 am

Takuma Sato

thanks Spr

10:08 am

licketySplitAUS

and because v12 just aint right yet

10:08 am

stidmama

you sound just like my Tom! I know when the boys and I are gone he'll be up into the wee hours of the morning on his computer and watching TV...

10:08 am

Angelsong

wow! I just noticed I have less than 100 words left to find.

10:08 am

licketySplitAUS

I'm watching Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage

10:09 am

stidmama

go angelsong go!

10:09 am

sprite

down to 87 here and yes, it is slow now, lickety, takes seconds to load each word. But it works and that is what counts. Is it a good movie?

10:09 am

Takuma Sato

is it any good, Lickety?

10:09 am

licketySplitAUS

Helps me not sleep ;-) It's corny - but just what I need

10:09 am

Takuma Sato

looked horrible in the promos

10:10 am

stidmama

sometimes corny is just what I want to see...

10:10 am

sprite

*grins at lickety*
Sounds like you could use a good hug and a drink ;)

10:10 am

Takuma Sato

Oy -- didn't even think about all the '-est' possibilities

10:10 am

licketySplitAUS

good special effects - that's enough to tingle my brain endings

10:10 am

o-o

6 no's

10:10 am

sprite

what does 'corny' me4 exactly? Very average?

10:10 am

licketySplitAUS

Sprite - got half covered

10:10 am

Takuma Sato

seemed like a strange role for Nick Cage

10:11 am

sprite

with Nanette that makes 8, BabbleRabble

10:11 am

stidmama

We got "The Last Starfighter" from netflix last week (just before the TV bit the dust) and the kids loved it. Not the best storyline, but the special effects esp for their time were excellent

10:11 am

Judi

Hey, I liked Ghost Rider. Kinda silly, but it is based on a comic book series, so you have to keep that in mind at all times.

10:11 am

licketySplitAUS

Hehhehe - love you all! I haven't finished the movie yet - but now I don't want to go back ;-)

10:11 am

Takuma Sato

that's a great movie for kids, stid

10:12 am

licketySplitAUS

stidmama - thanks for the tip - I'll get it for my kids

10:12 am

Takuma Sato

good point, Judi. I'm probably too critical about it -- Ghost Rider was the first comic I ever bought myself when I was a kid

10:12 am

lmj643

535 words! yeeha!

10:12 am

stidmama

We enjoyed it a lot, and talking about how it was made just after star wars got history and filmmaking into the discussion. It was like when we were homeschooling...

10:12 am

Judi

We've been innundated with comic book movies lately. Spiderman, Superman, Fantastic 4, etc. etc.

10:12 am

stidmama

hey lickety -- stidmatt is taking his first real computer course, a Cisco networking intro! the teacher (who usually teaches it to college-age people) says he's doing well!

10:13 am

I have a still drying dog

10:17 am

jakes-mum

Scan went very well, Chris insisted on buying 5 pictures of baby (not that he's a proud dad or anything) she looked very comfortable lying on her back with her feet up

10:17 am

stidmama

when I was a child in Puerto Rico sometimes it rained really hard and mother would send us out in the street to play... it was so much fun!

10:17 am

CsCdeFounder

i may update to pro a lot sooner than i had planned...this is very tough without the help of the letter/length tiles, lol

10:18 am

stidmama

CsC -- pro is good! :-) or you might just want to use lickety today...

10:18 am

licketySplitAUS

CsCdeFounder - do you run Windows? Would you like to try BabbleExpert?

10:18 am

sprite

lol CsCde... you could check at lickety's help page for those, if you like

10:18 am

Takuma Sato

heh -- DrGod's way of encouraging subscription ;)

10:18 am

Haz1558

Her hairs not really long enough to need blow-drying. It was either blindfold her, and not look at spaniel eyes, or take her for a walk in the rain.

10:18 am

Judi

Jeesh. I remember being sent to school wearing my brother's hand-me-down yellow rain slicker. The one with the huge hood and the metal buckles!

10:18 am

CsCdeFounder

what's BabbleExpert, lickety?

10:18 am

Atalante

sounds very very familiar, haz

10:19 am

jakes-mum

I'm just praying jake didn;t take his shoes off before he went in the house and they are now getting a wash under his mates trampoline

10:19 am

stidmama

BabbleExpert is the next best thing to chocolate CsC...

10:19 am

licketySplitAUS

I'd really love someone else to answer CsCde - I'm getting bored of it

hi stid.. hi everyone.. computer problems so i'm on dialup with NO list.. can not get the DSL light on my modem to stay on.. arrgh... I was a kid in P.Rico too, Cayey and Ponce.. where were you?

jakes-mum

I also got to go baby shopping this afternoon! YAY

10:20 am

sprite

lickety made a browser especially for Babble... it has the 2nd letter stats, but even if you don't use them, like me, you will love the chat/add word feature. A chat box that enters single words to the list and more words to the chat

10:20 am

stidmama

silly me, actually north of aguadilla...

10:20 am

I was 7 when we left after 1.5 years. I still miss it.

10:21 am

licketySplitAUS

Sato, yes - unfortunately at this time. And don't forget - when you get fireworks - you get fireworks!

10:22 am

Takuma Sato

heh, that could go either way -- thanks, though, Sprite. I'll just put my head down and get to work on them ;)

10:22 am

stidmama

I loved aguadilla area, and the mountains were so cool! all the goats... and that HUGE antenna dish set in the mountains! that was awesome.

10:22 am

Takuma Sato

ah -- I'll have to get my windows emulator running to see this

10:22 am

sprite

no they are not tough, Takuma. And nothing above 5 letters. And the 5 letter words are building on a 4.

10:22 am

licketySplitAUS

stidmama - that sounded wierd! Dish in mountains!

10:22 am

Takuma Sato

(the emulator is fine, I just can't bring myself to buy a copy of windows...)

10:23 am

licketySplitAUS

Sato - don't worry - we all hate Windows

10:23 am

stidmama

it's a big thing lickety -- I can't remember it's name off hand, but something to do with looking out in the universe for radio signals from other places!

Yes, Stid. It's on the front page of our Delaware paper. Gov. Rendell is quoted as saying "there's plenty of blame to go around".

some of us oldies remember a bigger one, Babbler, but it was very long ago

10:45 am

around 600, babbler

10:45 am

Babbler

wasn't there one closer to 600?

10:45 am

Hi sprite, haz, Zen,babbler, uncle tom Cobbley and all. This is the father and mother of grids, methinks

10:45 am

sprite

yup

10:45 am

Babbler

yes, I vaguely remember that one, sprite! I'm sure I finished it. or got close

10:45 am

sprite

hi hetty

10:46 am

Haz1558

Hello hetty, nice to see you.

10:46 am

CiociaJudy

600 was before my time. My first grid was over 400. I almost had a heart attack. This one is unbelievable!

10:46 am

CiociaJudy

Hi Hetty

10:46 am

sprite

well, to be honest, this one is big but not nasty!

10:46 am

sprite

I have had a harder time with some tiny grids

10:46 am

o-o

this grid would not be so long if there were fewer words

10:47 am

Babbler

I was just going to say that. Usually the bigger ones run like dreams.

10:47 am

Takuma Sato

well, I've got one from every tile, so one goal down

10:47 am

hetty

Well all, gird your loins and heads down (except for Haz, who no doubt is within an ace of finishing)

10:47 am

down to 36 now, still listless and not really stuck... that is pretty okay

10:47 am

woot Takuma!

10:47 am

Oh hetty, you're very kind. It's a fun grid.

I'm gonna go on the Smarties diet now!

sc5/12 - add a charged particle for a descendant

10:50 am

sprite

lol, just asking often does the trick, right jakes'mum?

10:50 am

Haz1558

But a restricted diet, Zen - two tubes is enough!

10:51 am

Takuma Sato

good idea, sprite. I just started that, and it's working well for me too

10:51 am

535 words... I've never been so greatful for bulk add :)

10:53 am

lol jakes-mum!

10:53 am

BGL

Are you kidding me? 535 words?

10:54 am

Haz1558

Yes, the Smartie diet is destined for greatness in my opinion. Although I still haven't forgiven them for changing the packaging.

10:54 am

jakes-mum

now that is very strange! all my s and t words have gone missing from my list?

10:54 am

vpchat

no kidding BGL

10:54 am

with very long wordlists sometimes that happens with the site, jakes'mum. Refresh or force refresh might help

10:55 am

jakes-mum

hmm will try refreshing hold on

10:55 am

Haz1558

That can sometimes happen with a huge grid, jakes-mum. It's designed to make you think you've gone mad.

10:55 am

CsCdeFounder

the puzzle i'm thinking of must have been in december of '04, because i just looked in the archives for every december '05 puzzle and none were bigger than this one

10:55 am

Takuma Sato

time for me to split. Good luck all!

10:56 am

Ogdens Nut

Nooooo, they've changed the packaging?!

i know it was in december, i remember that much...thought it was '05, but had to have been '04 since i just looked thru all the december '05 grids

Sherlock and Spangle should investigate this heresy..

10:57 am

It was probably instituted at the behest of Health and Safety people.

10:58 am

have you tried Cntrl - refresh, jakes-mum?

10:59 am

sprite

I still think it is criminal, Haz. I was loving those lids. They could be used as stamps

10:59 am

Haz1558

Exactly sprite - and they came in different colours.

11:00 am

sprite

I might even still have a series of them... my kids have used them as stamps too.

11:00 am

Ogdens Nut

Probably Haz, those dullards are determined to make life as drab as possible; booooo!

A doctor made it his regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew the doctor's habit and would always have a drink waiting. But one day the bartender ran out of hazelnut extract, so he substituted hickory nuts. When the doctor arrived, he took a sip and exclaimed, "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri!"

"No, I'm sorry," the bartender replied. "It's a hickory daiquiri, doc."

3:46 pm

CsCdeFounder

for me, on any grids with more than 320 words, give or take, babble is very slow to load up for me. Then my computer freezes for a minute or two until an abort script prompt pops up. In the background while the prompt is still on the screen, the word list loads (usually 3-400 items), and once all that is done, I click on No for the abort script prompt. The chat also doesn't load up right away either, so I usually do the Ctl+Alt+Dlt thing just to speed it up. I don't actually restart my computer, as I only hold and press the 3 buttons once. Once the chat prompt is working, I just close out of the Restart thing and continue on like normal.

3:46 pm

6:15 pm

carra

yeah i lost all my t's and u's... it came back though most anyway

6:16 pm

no, since it wont take them again at this point. The only solution would be to fihish the end of the alphabet first. I did, but had skipped two s 5 words, now I have no way to find the two misisng ones.

6:16 pm

KnightTime

6:19 pm

featherbee

maybe someone who is finished can help you find them

6:20 pm

KnightTime

try this: close firefox. Open IE. Go to babble. You will get a message about the script 3 different times. CLick NO each time. That should give you the whole list

6:20 pm

featherbee

i'm on the S words right now. let me finish them, and i'll see if i can help.

6:21 pm

KnightTime

pe7 and 8 = pe + hook + consonant + alt*** (the mint) and plural

6:21 pm

Oh I think I wrote down the missing ones. Let.s try it: se 5/10 and sa 5/12, if anyone has them give them to me and i will enter them, If my count goes to 0 we have succeeded

8:38 pm

Jacula

I saw my specialist's lackey earlier about the little lump on the end of my nose. He peered at it through a magnifying glass, just as my GP (who is a skin specialist) did and said, 'Hmmm! Not sure if it's just a colourless mole or naevus, or a BCC. But I doubt it's a BCC; you're far too young!' 'What's a BCC?' I asked. 'Basal Cell Carcinoma,' he answered brightly. 'Cancer!' (Sounding rather gleeful.) 'Oh!' said I.

8:38 pm

stuck on a dumb one, second st5/12 please

8:42 pm

Jacula

'What would you like to do?' he asked me. "What would I like to do?" I think. 'Would you like to wait and see?' he said. 'Or shall I make you an appointment to have it cut out and a biopsy done?' I was given the choice? Is this the NHS trying to save money?? He didn't say, 'Shall we wait and see if it's cancer and it eats your face?' but he might as well have done. Bl**dy Hell! I have, of course, opted for the removal and biopsy.

8:42 pm

Jacula

Nutty - I know, love. BCC can spread if left though.

mymuse - my Mum told me a story about her neighbour's son-in-law yesterday. He ignored obvious symptoms for 2 years' because both his father and grandfather had died from lymph no4/5 cancer. By the time he decided to see a doctor 2 weeks' ago it was too late.

8:54 pm

Jacula

Silly man!

8:55 pm

Jacula

He didn't go and see someone because he was scared of the answer.

8:57 pm

8:58 pm

Jacula
