1:14 am

DRBERNABO

sometimes it is easier to find words if you don't look at the grid and just type what you think should be there....

1:15 am

FranMag

yep, i do that too

1:16 am

DRBERNABO

especially when you have matched pairs of letters in different parts of hte board, like the AG and ST pairs tonight

1:17 am

justafreep

whew. fireworks. And my last word was a 4 letter singular of a word I'd typed the plural of long ago. Yikes.

DRBERNABO

1:20 am

Jellen

Well, I've done well meeting my goals tonight: I have over 23 words, got the 8 (with little whining), and had a snack. Now I can enjoy chat a bit before I go!

1:28 am

Jellen

Sounds interesting, jilli

1:33 am

jillibus

It was written in 1956, about the life-to-be in 2000! But it begins with a charming chapter about his tomcat, Petronius the Arbiter (I'm looking at my old paperback copy).

FranMag

3:01 am

Lizsark

3:01 am

FranMag

brb

3:02 am

FranMag

me too liz, especially the way they were in DS9, they were kind of scary when they first appeared in TNG.

3:03 am

bashir

all our husbands sound similar

3:05 am

Lizsark

Fran - you'd be ok so long as you didn't rub their ears lol

3:05 am

FranMag

3:05 am

bashir

sorry, fram. It sounded that way from the general chat is all, lol

3:06 am

Lizsark

Mine does - our little cocker spaniel was called Scully after the character from x-files!

3:09 am

bashir

trash

3:09 am

FranMag

in that case, i'll take a pass on it. :-)

3:10 am

FranMag

i wasn't so sensitive to that language until i had children, now i get peeved when people talk like that in public places where the kids can hear it.

3:10 am

Lizsark

3:28 am

Karys

I thought is was just me being over senstive, but I found it quite wearing with all that going on, going on !

3:28 am

dcseain

3:29 am

Karys

3:55 am

FranMag

i only have one sa6 and it's a plural

3:55 am

dcseain

yes, i have that one, the 6/21 is the one i was wondering about, in part because i lack the 5/14 before it.

3:56 am

FranMag

i'm missing those then

3:56 am

dcseain

found the 5.

3:57 am

FranMag

cool

3:58 am

dcseain

the 6/7 is a word and plural, same start as the 5, but not derived from it.

3:59 am

bashir

3:59 am

FranMag

4:00 am

FranMag

4:04 am

dcseain

the AMs were hardest for me over all today.

4:05 am

FranMag

i'm missing two As, maybe they're AMs

4:05 am

bashir

are you done dc?

4:05 am

bashir

which ones do you need?

4:05 am

FranMag

haven't looked at the list yet bashir

4:05 am

dcseain

if A on either side of M, probably.

4:06 am

bashir

how many am do you have?

4:06 am

dcseain

have you the femal spanish friend pair?

4:06 am

FranMag

yes, i have those

4:06 am

bashir

and the acid

4:07 am

FranMag

yes

4:07 am

dcseain

do you have the pair that loses a consonant from those?

4:07 am

FranMag

i have 11 AM words

4:07 am

FranMag

4:07 am

bashir

4:08 am

dcseain

4:08 am

dcseain

4:09 am

FranMag

i was missing the ad, thanks dc

4:10 am

dcseain

what horrible, if useful, word that is, the AD.

4:10 am

FranMag

finished the As, thanks for the help dc and bashir

4:10 am

dcseain

cool

4:11 am

FranMag

had to look it up, it actually means what it looks like! and yes, it's an ugly word.

4:12 am

dcseain

yes, i looked it up too, and was suprised that it means what it looks like.

4:13 am

dcseain

saw your icon, fran; i'd plumb forgot that Mindinao is mostly Islamic.

4:14 am

FranMag

i know, you don't think about the Phillipines having Muslims, but they are quite extreme.

4:14 am

dcseain

yes, i imagine they still have terrorist problems there, as they were some years back. I'll have to look that up.

4:15 am

FranMag

this was just the first icon that caught my eye. since my husband is Filipino i decided to use it. :-)

4:15 am

dcseain

the colors caught my eye, it's quite lovely.

4:15 am

FranMag

exactly what i thought

4:15 am

bashir

time for dinner. See ya

4:16 am

FranMag

later bashir!

4:23 am

sprite

good morning all... rejoycing in the sight of a trollfree babble :D

4:23 am

FranMag

hi sprite!

4:25 am

FranMag

finally found the sa6/7 combo, i'm embarrassed as i grew up eating it!

4:27 am

FranMag

sprite, trollfree and people-free as well. :-)

4:28 am

sprite

lol... ok, that is not as much fun, but at least there is peace in babble land

4:29 am

sprite

rejoycing is not good, is it? rejoicing?

4:29 am

FranMag

with the i is correct

4:30 am

FranMag

but the y makes more sense. :-)

4:30 am

sprite

thanks :) It both looked weird all of a sudden.

4:31 am

sprite

argh, just ordered my kids to work as a TEAM while tidying up their room... I SO hate the constant bickering. It seems quiet now :)

4:31 am

FranMag

sprite, your kids are a preview of what i'm in for. they don't sound too bad though.

4:32 am

sprite

omg no, if you teach them rules from the start, as you have done, they will never be that bad. I complain every now and then, but they are great kids!

4:32 am

FranMag

sheesh, that 8 was a weird word

4:33 am

sprite

and the bickering is only when they must tidy up their rooms... which they both hate, as kids do.

4:33 am

FranMag

i resisted the clue that was given really early, but i finally broke down and checked the log. :-)

4:33 am

bashir

Hi again

4:34 am

bashir

mine hate that job too. I have to ban TV and nag until it is done

4:34 am

FranMag

okay sprite, don't know how well i'm doing with rules, but starting today i'm going to be better!

4:34 am

FranMag

hi again bashir!

4:34 am

sprite

would you repeat the clue for me, Fran?

4:35 am

FranMag

it's an obsolete word for terror or fright, fuel for your car + a consonant + ending that means the "state of being" (as in hapi****)

4:36 am

sprite

what we do with our kids: we explain the rules, if they trespass we explain again. Yes is yes, no is no, and now that they get older, there is room for negotiation. But at the end, we are in charge. It seems to work ;)

4:36 am

dcseain

good morning, sprite

4:36 am

FranMag

or is that supposed to be happi****?

4:36 am

FranMag

were you off surfing dc?

4:36 am

sprite

hi dc :)

4:36 am

bashir

sprite, that's how we do things here too

4:37 am

dcseain

reading that Sprite, that's how my sis and i were raised, and how she works with her children.

4:37 am

sprite

woot, thanks Fran, never would have gotten that one by myself :)

4:37 am

sprite

that gives me hope, dc... you seem to have turned out very well :D

4:37 am

FranMag

yay sprite, now you won't be tormented by it. :-)

4:38 am

FranMag

i have two more words, both 5s, no list yet

4:38 am

sprite

love the icon, Fran, btw... so colourful and a great wish as well.

4:38 am

sprite

I can imagine that 8 with a gh, but not like this.

4:38 am

FranMag

thanks sprite, we were discussing it when dc disappeared. :-)

4:39 am

dcseain

sorry, fran, tonight i've been more sporadic than usual, in part because i'm working with a different person than usual tonight.

4:39 am

dcseain

and he's much chattier than my usual partner here.

4:39 am

FranMag

no worries dc! i figured you ran off to look up the Muslims of Mindanao. :-)

4:40 am

sprite

it is so sad these times... when I wish a muslim a good ramadan or something else related to his or her faith, they are almost shocked. There is so much hatred towards their religion nowadays. While it is not the religion that is to blame for the terrorists.

4:40 am

dcseain

correct, sprite. Extremism exists across all the Abrahamic faiths, though so far it manifests a bit differently in each faith.

4:41 am

FranMag

i know sprite

4:41 am

caitlyn

Good morningal..a nice grid for a sat morning

4:41 am

FranMag

hi caitlyn!

4:41 am

bashir

hi caitlyn

4:41 am

sprite

there are outbursts of christian violence in history that I feel just as terrible about.

4:41 am

dcseain

hi, caitlyn, and indeed it is.

4:42 am

sprite

hi cait... for a moment I read sad morning... th4 I figured out what sat means, lol.

4:42 am

caitlyn

I must improve my spelling ..I must improve my spelling..LOL

4:42 am

sprite

lol nooooo it was not your spelling, it was my stupidness! Sat morning is perfect.

4:42 am

dcseain

you spelled fine, caitlyn, sprite just misread you.

4:42 am

FranMag

the Koran has great teachings, as does the bible, it's men (humankind) that twists everything to their ow* ends.

4:43 am

dcseain

indeed so, fran

4:43 am

FranMag

1 left!

4:44 am

bashir

go Fran!

4:44 am

FranMag

wouldn't you know it, my last two were plurals that i swore i tried.

4:44 am

dcseain

woo Fran!

4:44 am

FranMag

fireworks!

4:44 am

bashir

wtg

4:44 am

caitlyn

Congrats Fran!!

4:44 am

dcseain

wtg Fran! I've not yet completed w/out list.

4:45 am

bashir

I couldn't do it without the list

4:45 am

FranMag

this might be the longest one i did without list, but i always have to add that i could never do it without the help of friends. :-)

4:46 am

sprite

wtg Fran!!!

4:46 am

FranMag

just ask sprite, practice and more practice will make it easier.

4:47 am

caitlyn

LOL Fran!!

4:47 am

sprite

and yes, with the risk of simplifying things too much... all great religions are build on love as the primary power. As soon as people forget that and take things from their faith without the love, it gets bad.

4:47 am

dcseain

since i've been on nights and playing a lot, i've found it gets much easier as i've done it more.

4:47 am

sprite

I totally agree, Fran :D

4:48 am

FranMag

i totally agree with your statement as well sprite. :-)

4:48 am

sprite

and there are not many grids I have finished without help from my babble buddies for sure.

4:48 am

FranMag

any clues needed before i head to sudoku?

4:48 am

carleekat

words..much m ore manageable I would say... good day all...how are we doing?

4:49 am

FranMag

hi carlee!

4:49 am

bashir

hi carlee

4:49 am

sprite

I just started, I am fine, thanks Fran :) Very glad with the 8 though.
Have fun and a terrific day/night/whatever *hug*

4:49 am

dcseain

a friend of mine does nature photography, and here's a new one of Taishan, pand at the Nat'l Zoo in DC: http://www.flickr.com/photos/flying_wo
lf/1557508602/

4:49 am

dcseain

hi carlee!

4:49 am

caitlyn

I agree sprite love is the key to all religions ..for your God and for each other sadly it sometimes isnt seen that way

4:49 am

sprite

hi carlee

4:49 am

FranMag

you're up pretty early carlee.

4:49 am

caitlyn

Hi carlee

4:49 am

carleekat

i woke up... it happens FM....

4:50 am

carleekat

hey dc..long time no see... and how are you doing these days sprite?

4:50 am

sprite

wow dc!

4:50 am

caitlyn

How is hubby today carlee?

4:50 am

dcseain

she's quite good.

4:50 am

bashir

clue for st5, 10 please?

4:50 am

FranMag

cute dc, i love the one with his tongue sticking out, she caught a good picture.

4:51 am

FranMag

bashir, s + t*** a ball

4:51 am

dcseain

don't just t*** that in the trash, with an S in front, bashir

4:51 am

sprite

caitlyn: that is what I meant by making it sounding too simple, perhaps... love is never easy. To be loving towards yourself, others and life itself is not easy at all. It demands a very active attitude inside, a willingness to feel responsible and reach out and bear pain.

4:51 am

carleekat

the hubby had a very down day yesterday... which is bound to happen....

4:52 am

bashir

ty all

4:52 am

FranMag

well, i'm off to sudoku and qp, see you all tomorrow!

4:52 am

caitlyn

We can all ofus only try to treat others as we would like to be treated

4:52 am

caitlyn

Bye Fran

4:52 am

dcseain

ciao, fran

4:53 am

sprite

I totally agree, cait :)

4:53 am

carleekat

bye fm...

4:53 am

bashir

bye fran

4:53 am

caitlyn

Give him a big hug from the babblers carlee..that should put a smile on his face!

4:54 am

carleekat

hahaha....well..he doesn't "get" babble...

4:54 am

sprite

poor hubby... tell him we think he has a terrific wife and that we are sure you can make him feel better, if he lets you ;)

4:54 am

Preethi

4:55 am

bashir

sprite

Preethi

carleekat

4:57 am

dcseain

i went to the annual retreat i attend each October last weekend, which was really quite the lovely Brigadoon it always is, leaving me refreshed. Other than that, no.

4:57 am

Preethi

Carlee, I hope your husband is feeling better

4:57 am

caitlyn

LOL carlee i was just thinking the same..

4:57 am

Preethi

Thank you Caitlyn :) and Carlee

4:58 am

carleekat

I will see him later today... and I am taking our son up with me... so hopefully he is doing better... he was worried our teenaged son would be embarrassed to have him go to his hockey game since for now is in a wheelchair...

4:59 am

caitlyn

A retreat always sounds so relaxing dcs

5:00 am

carleekat

hubby asked me to ask our son how he felt should his dad attend the game...my son said " I want my dad there, I wouldn't care if he had lost his legs, he's my dad..and I want my dad there"... when I told hubby..he cried... that the 2nd time I EVER have seen him cry..ever since I haveknown him ( 20 years now)

5:00 am

bashir

carleekat

5:00 am

sprite

awww Preethi, two gorgeous ladies in one picture!

5:00 am

Preethi

I was just about to say that Dad is Dad and nothing can change that

5:01 am

dcseain

considering everything, carlee, that was an affirmation of a level for him that i cannot begin to imagine. How wonderful.

5:01 am

Preethi

I can imagine how he must have felt

5:01 am

caitlyn

Take me dcs Take me!!

5:01 am

Preethi

Thank you Sprite

5:01 am

bashir

5:01 am

dcseain

woo-hoo, bashir!

5:01 am

caitlyn

Congrats bashir!!

5:02 am

dcseain

caitlyn, we have 2 attendees who come from Cambridge, England each year.

5:02 am

carleekat

why type of retreat is it dc?

5:02 am

sprite

your son is wise and loving, carlee

5:02 am

caitlyn

Do you think my family would notice that Im missing for a couple of weeks?

5:03 am

dcseain

Pantheistic Pagan, plus one who says "I'm a physicist, not a pagan".

5:03 am

dcseain

he gives us a session on Dark Matter each year.

5:03 am

sprite

depends on your family, cait... my hubby and kids would notice the very first hour... my parents and other family wouldn't know for years.

5:04 am

sprite

wtg bashir

5:04 am

carleekat

its been such a rollercoaster for everyone... and for me..I am having troubles responding to things ... am so overloaded myself.... but for my son he has been...slow and steady...very consistent ...so I am not surprised by his answer...I could have quoted him before he was even asked

5:04 am

caitlyn

LOL sprite ..I have to do quite a lot for a number of my family so I know they will miss me really

5:05 am

bashir

great video sprite!

5:05 am

sprite

thanks bashir! Glad you like it :)

5:05 am

carleekat

that sounds really interesting... retreats I do not think are very popular up here in canada..unless u count moose hunting in northern ontario a retreat...

5:05 am

bashir

night all, enjoy the troll free zone!

5:05 am

dcseain

g'night bashir, sleep well.

5:05 am

caitlyn

carlee I think you and your family are doing really well I should imagine your emotions are now catching up with you

5:06 am

carleekat

have we been troll free today?..isn't this when they pop on...?

5:06 am

sprite

being overloaded is a very good reason for not responding to everything, carlee. It is self preservation (is that the word). Take care of yourself as good as you can, in these demanding times.

5:06 am

sprite

they were here before now, the last 2 days, carlee. It looks good today.

5:07 am

dcseain

It was interesting, this was my 3rd year at this one, first year was floods, last year was normal, this year was drought. The waterfall on the site i have now seen at various extremes of it's potential.

5:07 am

caitlyn

Hubby is taking me to wallpaper shop...and I say I never go anywhere exciting..LOL bbl

5:07 am

dcseain

well said, sprite, about overloaded.

5:07 am

dcseain

ciao, caitlyn

5:07 am

sprite

lol @ cait

5:08 am

carleekat

I am sprite..in little ways....food indulgence is my way right now... eating what I want when I want... I just had raspberry pie... for breakfast with a big glass of cold milk... its saturday..they are out terrorizing the shop keepers in a mall somewhere...

5:08 am

carleekat

enjoy the trip cait... ( I used to make gift boxes out of discontinued wallpaper )

5:08 am

Preethi

Carlee I am sure things will get better with time..

5:09 am

dcseain

sounds delish, carlee. i'm going for breakfast after work, in about an hour.

5:09 am

sprite

whatever works, carlee. If food calms you and comforts you a little, it is a good thing you can use that to your advantage now. Try not to feel guilty about either food indulgence or not responding. You are surviving and you are doing well.

5:09 am

carleekat

pie for breakfast rocks... thank you sprite...

5:10 am

dcseain

pie a la mode even moreso, methinks.

5:10 am

sprite

*hugs carlee*

5:10 am

carleekat

{hugs} back sprite...has anyone seen or heard from grannymaxx lately?//how is she doing these days?

5:11 am

dcseain

i have not heard from her, carlee.

5:11 am

sprite

no, I haven't seen grannymaxx for a while and I am worried.

5:11 am

5:12 am

5:13 am

dcseain

5:14 am

sprite

my daughter is going to her very first riding lesson today! (horseback)
She is totally excited (read: hyper) and it is so sweet!

5:14 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's morning. I was on earlier but babble has been temperamental for me.

5:14 am

carleekat

how fun for her sprite...

5:15 am

dcseain

oh, right britain is +5, i always forget and confuse it with the continent time-wise.

5:15 am

carleekat

but your computer is back and running normally for you haz?...

5:15 am

dcseain

oh, riding is such fun!

5:15 am

Preethi

Horseback ridin is fun.. I used to take classes a few years ago Sprite.. She isgonna love it :)

5:15 am

sprite

I used to ride, and she is as horse crazy as I used to be at that age. I am happy for her :)

5:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, it is, carlee. FMitch mentioned that she had been having babble problems as well - all sorts of warning signs and things.

5:17 am

carleekat

interesting...no problems here... mind am not around enough to really notice anything

5:17 am

Haz1558

Maybe we've been singled out.

5:17 am

sprite

can be related to servers, carlee. Your signal will pass others than our signal here.

5:17 am

dcseain

i've not had troubles with it, so far, knock wood.

5:19 am

sprite

can be a server that leads to europe th4

5:20 am

dcseain

or one of the trans-atlantic cables is on the fritz. I'll find out and update tonight.

5:20 am

dcseain

(i have friends who maintain the internet infrastructure)

5:20 am

sprite

ok, you let them repair it th4, dc :)

5:27 am

dcseain

i notice it's always very quiet here around this hour.

5:28 am

carleekat

well..we are all just waking up... ugh I don't want to go to work today

5:28 am

carleekat

and others have finish on the other side of the pond...

5:29 am

carleekat

finished* sorry...

5:29 am

dcseain

it took the county 9 days to debit my account for my personal property taxes.

5:29 am

dcseain

i get off work in ~30 min.

5:29 am

carleekat

nice of them dc..guess they didn't really NEED the $?!?!? hahah

5:30 am

brb

5:31 am

carleekat

what is it you do again?....I know has something to do with managing who moves what where in the import/export...or something like that

5:32 am

dcseain

i work on the ACE Helpdesk for US Customs and Border Protection.

5:32 am

carleekat

right..I know you told me once...

5:33 am

dcseain

i certainly don't expect everyone to remember. Most people here barely recall i work for customs, though they know i work helpdesk, as i have for about 15 years now.

5:34 am

dcseain

here, meaning local to me physically.

5:34 am

carleekat

I hate crossing the border... even if I just go for the ride..buy nothing...eat nothing... whenever teh customs officer asks me with that tone of voice and look on face that assumes u've done something wrong..I feel guilty

5:37 am

carleekat

its just not worth it for me... even with the Cdn $ being so great now...

5:38 am

dcseain

my experience is entering Canada is easy, it's back into the US that's difficult.

5:44 am

5:44 am

carleekat

5:44 am

NonoNanette

5:44 am

ms_gilly

hi

5:44 am

Xaniika

how do you know they werent lying

5:44 am

NonoNanette

morning msgilly

5:44 am

dcseain

{poof}

5:45 am

Xaniika

you could get inncoent kids introuble

5:45 am

sprite

there are 2 schools contacted, plus the teacher who started the first influx. Plus accounts kicked and perhaps IPs blocked, I would think, but that is drG's domain.

5:46 am

sprite

and if we see more trolls, we must report them. Like perhaps this Xaniika with double i.

5:46 am

NonoNanette

blocking IPs would be most effective I would think

5:46 am

sprite

yup, it would, Nanette, but I don't know how drG works, so I cannot say.

5:47 am

sprite

and lots of us have voted for appointing moderators in all time zones.

5:47 am

NonoNanette

where can we vote on that sprite?

5:47 am

sprite

I for one would not mind kicking hundreds of accounts faster than trolls can make them ;)

5:47 am

ms_gilly

excuse me,what is a troll?

5:48 am

sprite

send an email to drG, Nanette. Many have already.

5:48 am

NonoNanette

ok will do that today

5:49 am

sprite

it is an internet term, ms_gilly, for someone who comes to a site just to offend people, spoil their fun and ruin the chat. They often pose as kids, sometimes they are kids.

5:49 am

NonoNanette

I know his email must be posted someplace will have to look for it

5:49 am

ms_gilly

ok,thankyou

5:49 am

sprite

we had 2 days of a whole attacking bunch of them, which was not much fun.

5:50 am

sprite

I think there should be a link on the help page... email to drGod or something.

5:50 am

NonoNanette

I will look for it

5:50 am

o-o

go to the bottom of this page and click on: Got any comments or questions? Send them

5:50 am

ms_gilly

sounds like some at another site i go to,they're reported and banned

5:51 am

NonoNanette

thank you BR and good morning to you!

5:51 am

o-o

Hello

5:52 am

sprite

yup, that is what should happen here too. DrGod was not there, so nothing happened for hours on end, with kids talking foul language, insulting players and making the chat unreadable. Moderators would be nice :)

5:52 am

sprite

hi BabbleRabble :)

5:52 am

o-o

Hello

5:53 am

sprite

BabbleRabble, the artist that painted your troll is Rien Poortvliet, a Dutch artist :)

5:53 am

ms_gilly

they would for sure,I think all sites like this need moderators or admin helpers

5:53 am

mee :]

5:54 am

sprite

let's hope drG wants to share a bit of his power and make us able to kick little nuisances like this one, sigh.

5:54 am

sprite

fyi, ms_gilly... meet one.

5:56 am

sprite

mee, we will report you to the one that runs the site if you don't stop this. You will be banned.

5:56 am

sprite

sorry for what, ms_gilly? It is not YOUR fault!

5:56 am

mee :]

banned pfft i dont give a shit poofs

5:57 am

ms_gilly

sorry,I didn't know you were in an admin position,I'm quite new here

5:57 am

sprite

ms_gilly, I am not! Wish I were! I am just an ordinary player who does not like trolls :(

5:59 am

sprite

and even if I would ever be a moderator, if drGod will appoint one or more... we'd still be ordinary players, lol. Only with the possibility to remove people who really ruin things for others and will not listen to warnings.

6:00 am

ms_gilly

ok,you'll always get bad players who like to make themselves noticed,most are kids or just nasty adults

6:00 am

sprite

as long as it is one, it is not really a problem. But they were hunting in packs the last 2 days and then ignoring them does not work that well. :(

6:01 am

ms_gilly

oh,I see :(

6:01 am

NonoNanette

ms gilly for the most part we are all good people here and not often bothered by these trolls

6:01 am

ms_gilly

I've seen how nice people are here

6:02 am

sprite

this is a great site... last 2 days were a real exception to the rule! And we are glad to have you, ms_gilly :)
