12:31 am

VolleymomDee

wh but not the other one

12:31 am

dcseain

or a, depending :)

12:32 am

Book Doctor Gwen

face it. computer conventions (of spelling, etc) are taking over. in some cases this is very bad, like when videos that start with a number are not correctly alphabetized at the video store . . .

12:32 am

rururocks

i have a wh 7

12:32 am

AtomSmasher420

weed

12:32 am

Book Doctor Gwen

smoke it, atom!! LOL

12:32 am

AtomSmasher420

lol

12:32 am

dcseain

yes, numbers collate after letters, or as if they wer spelled out, depending on convention

12:32 am

rururocks

uh dude wrong spot...

12:33 am

rururocks

lol

12:33 am

Atalante

we have great fun in an online encyclopaedia I work on with letters like AE because sql doesn't recognise them, or misfiles them

12:33 am

cybernan

ty -- got it

12:33 am

Book Doctor Gwen

the "correct" method is to allphabetize them as if they were spelled out. but computers can't do that so they get arranged according to the "computer alphabet"

12:33 am

dcseain

here, those are long deprecated, so likely why sql chokes on them.

12:34 am

VolleymomDee

yw... anyone find the other 7 yet?

12:34 am

Fiber Art

he7

12:34 am

FranMag

hi fiber!

VolleymomDee

oops sorry for the burp

12:35 am

Book Doctor Gwen

12:35 am

rururocks

12:35 am

jesdraggon

12:37 am

rururocks

we 8

12:37 am

dcseain

is ur DB set for UTF-8? That fixes a world of issues.

12:37 am

rururocks

re 8

12:37 am

jesdraggon

and the ne 8 too, ruru.

12:38 am

Atalante

i'll check

12:38 am

jesdraggon

12:40 am

Erda

12:41 am

Fiber Art

he7

12:41 am

jesdraggon

peahen

12:41 am

Erda

was a joke, jes

12:41 am

Fiber Art

not a very tidy hen

12:41 am

jesdraggon

sorry, erda, didn't see fiber's comment until after i typed that in

12:41 am

jesdraggon

<---- is slow sometimes

12:41 am

72 Temple Owl

ty

12:41 am

rururocks

uric chicken?

12:42 am

Erda

yup

12:42 am

Erda

do chickens pee?

12:42 am

Book Doctor Gwen

birds don't pee exactly. they have only one chute, so it's a combo operation

12:42 am

dcseain

they're birds, so they eliminate, rahter than pee/poop - i forget the term for the combined

12:43 am

jesdraggon

it's called urates in a bird, not urine

12:43 am

Erda

ah -- live and learn

12:43 am

dcseain

ty, jes

12:43 am

cybernan

25 for tomorrow -- good night, all :)

12:44 am

AtomSmasher420

they peep

12:44 am

dcseain

g'night, nan

12:44 am

DR1965

night Nan

12:44 am

AtomSmasher420

pee + poop = peep

12:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

try cloaca

12:44 am

jesdraggon

the urates and feces come out together, but are actually separate things. so if you look at the droppings on your car, the white stuff is the urates, the black/brown/green is the feces.

12:44 am

jesdraggon

now aren't you all glad to know that?

12:44 am

Fiber Art

I accidently got the wh7!!

12:44 am

AtomSmasher420

i thought that's what they did on Wednesday, but I guess it didn't work

the tech said they have to try different things, i guess troubleshoot to find the right solution.

1:37 am

hmmm, why not give new modem then?

it's more likely the wiring and stuff going to the modem

2:15 am

dcseain

ciao, MVA

2:16 am

congrats, DC. that's a miserable position to be in. my favorite author themed one whole novel around the hazards of having people train their bosses

2:16 am

2:16 am

I was about to go, but now I'm waiting breathlessly to learn what's going on! :)

2:18 am

dcseain

if all goes well, by spring i'll be back on days. which will do wonders for my sleep. :)

2:18 am

dcseain

i'll babble less on days though, as day shift is busy

2:18 am

tygerbryght

and will give you a different boss, I trust?

2:19 am

dcseain

plus, i like the chat better at night.

2:19 am

but you can babble from home, can't you?

2:19 am

dcseain

no, we all report to one person. i'm actually lead on my shift.

yall of us went to Ameland, dc, a dutch island. 5 friends in a cottage with sauna and swimmingpool, playing the transformation game and having a special and great time. I feel like it has been at least 3 weeks. Even if it was only 5 days :)

2:31 am

dcseain

how very lovely! :D

2:31 am

dcseain

sounds like just what you needed

2:32 am

sprite

oh yes, it was! For all of us. We booked for next year on the last day, no doubt in anyone's mind!

2:33 am

sprite

and how is life in babble land?

2:33 am

dcseain

hm. i wonder who yokowong776 will prove to be.

2:34 am

dcseain

pretty well. My elder cat has a cone on, and has antibiotics due to recent vet trip. though his mouth is healing, unhappy as he is.

2:34 am

dcseain

i feel guilty going to work, but alas, i need money for him as well as me. :)

2:35 am

sprite

LOLL dc, of course you do, and he will be fine. He is lucky to have an owner that takes care of him so well. And I don't know any yokowong... new babbler?

2:35 am

dcseain

sharing a youtube vid w/me whoever it is. :)

2:36 am

dcseain

i know enough people, or am known by enough, could be right near anyone :D LOL

2:36 am

sprite

oh, lol, on facebook? I haven't opened it yet, if I go there, I am afraid I won't play babble for a long time ;)

2:37 am

lynxxx

Lots of new Babblers from Tangleword - which is dead to their distress

2:37 am

FranMag

sprite, i can only imagine how many notifications and invitations you have by now!

2:37 am

dcseain

mayhap. i'm making nearly as many random connections on facebook as i've made on LJ. Little harder to get to know people well on facebook, though time will likely make me reconsider that

2:37 am

sprite

argh, I see, that is really frustrating for them. Dead as in forever?

2:37 am

dcseain

very true, lynxxx

2:38 am

dcseain

seems so, sprite

2:38 am

sprite

I am really sorry for them. Can you imagine Babble going dead on us? *shudders*

2:38 am

dcseain

oh, the K gets used :)

2:38 am

lynxxx

Yes, apparently the crowd that took it over a while ago is no longer supporting and referring them to other games

2:39 am

FranMag

iWin told helenkeller today that they will have no more classic games.

2:39 am

FranMag

why, so it does, thanks dc!

2:39 am

o-o

What three-syllable word was combined with the word icicle to coin the word popsicle?

2:39 am

dcseain

yw, fran. it took me by surprise!

2:39 am

sprite

lollipop, I think

2:40 am

sprite

and hi BabbleRabble :)

2:40 am

FranMag

hi babrab!

2:40 am

o-o

Answer: lollypop

The name popsicle was coined as a trademark in 1923 by Frank Epperson of Oakland, California. He coined it by contracting the phrase lollypop icicle.

2:40 am

lynxxx

Hi BabRab

2:40 am

2:40 am

I am sorry... hit space by accident in the middle of the word

2:41 am

2:41 am

dc, I am sorry, what do you mean?

2:41 am

what did I win, BabbleRabble? ;)

2:41 am

dcseain

i was mocking ur mistake, that's all :)

2:42 am

o-o

The word cryometer is to cold as what word is to hot?

2:42 am

sprite

argh... ok *feels adequately chastised*

2:42 am

sprite

thermometer?

2:42 am

FranMag

thermometer?

2:42 am

o-o

Answer: pyrometer

Cryometers measure very low temperatures; whereas pyrometers measure very high temperatures. The former derives from the Greek kryos, frost; the latter from the Greek pur, fire.

2:42 am

FranMag

ooh, we're both wrong!

2:43 am

sprite

but in unison, as usual :D

2:43 am

2:51 am

o-o

is "fozy" a dutch word, sprite?

2:52 am

lshult

only 24 left to find, but only just found my 1st 7 (wh7/56) and still no 8's?

2:52 am

carra

no.. its probably just a little stress

2:53 am

sprite

no, I am sorry, BabbleRabble, it is not.

2:53 am

dcseain

ishult, once you find one 8, you'll get them all :)

2:54 am

TY DC, that clue made me find my third

2:54 am

superlative words grace the grid

2:57 am

how many words.. so far i have 61

2:57 am

pretty intense profile story today, BabbleRabble. Scary for sure.

2:57 am

126 carra, almost half way!

2:57 am

sprite

126 words

2:58 am

carra

thanks

2:59 am

o-o

and it is quite predictable that each time you find a word there is one less word to find

3:00 am

sprite

unless the word you find is A. a phantom B. one you already had.

3:00 am

FranMag

LOL (to both of you)

3:01 am

carra

or it says its not a word when it is :)

3:01 am

sprite

ah well, that would be evil!

3:03 am

I can't believe reWe4/9 is not a word. If there is one thing we have to do over and over and over again, it is reWe4ing our gardens.

3:03 am

FranMag

you and jilli both sprite

3:04 am

sprite

ah, that is a consolation... it is always nice to know jilli and i are of one mind :)

3:04 am

o-o

babble is not a game of words; it is a process of filling slots .... and the word police is a martinet

3:04 am

dcseain

LOL, so true, babrab :D

3:05 am

sprite

only too true!

3:05 am

dcseain

lots of re+ words are not in Enable, sprite. Enable hates us.

3:05 am

FranMag

another astute observation babrab! :-)

3:06 am

sprite

I try to be too spiritually evolved to hate Enable right back, dc... *grumble grumble harharharrrr*
Would kicking it count?

3:07 am

herinfernallady

Hi

3:07 am

sprite

hi lady

3:08 am

o-o

I have fun with the indignation over stupid words; or weird words

3:08 am

o-o

each word at one time served a purpose

3:08 am

herinfernallady

SPrite Mr Pres says Hi and I hope you had fun

3:08 am

dcseain

3:09 am

sprite

ah, thanks lady!

3:09 am

o-o

even a nonce word

3:09 am

sprite

oh, I agree, BabbleRabble, but it is so wonderful to be able to grumble at Enable and not to be alone in that :)

3:10 am

3:17 am

dcseain

for that, i am more happy than i can say, lynxxx. I'm glad they have the option of waiting

3:17 am

sprite

the wisdom of your words is never in question, BabbleRabble... just the ripeness of us babblers to digest it!

3:18 am

sprite

oh, in that case I stop worrying and start bein g happy for them, lynxxx! Thanks for the extra info!

3:19 am

o-o

I have said at times before, if you need a little information, I'm the one, I have as little as anyone

3:19 am

sprite

sprite

3:21 am

o-o

I have been in the penalty box so much later, the word elders were threatening to charge me rent

Good thing is though, that this rent is always payable in natura.

Karys

that was my third visit, and I would still like to go again

4:26 am

dcseain

next time you're going do let me know. I have 3 pages of restaurant/bakery recommendations from a friend of mine. Wonderful places, if not always the least expensive, not usually the most expensive either.

Thanks for letting me feel you care, dc :)

4:49 am

dcseain

i do, sprite. the energizing time away indubitably helps

4:51 am

sprite

for sure! Isn't it great :D
And now to take it easy and not go thinking I can do it all again from now on, but taking it one step at a time, LOL... but I think I can do that.

5:33 am

jan

Colored hair red...

5:34 am

lshult

5:35 am

jan

It's always unexpected to see a past tense of a word ending in a vowel.

5:36 am

jan

NIght all...back to bed. Happy babbling.

Iknow, decorations go up so early it's ridiculous

6:13 am

bonkler

xmas...ick. i'm already sick of carols in every store i go to. somehow buying tooth paste, a loaf of bread and cat food for the boss doesn't bring out the spirit of the "holiday".

6:13 am

hydra

That is FAR too early. Ridiculous!

6:13 am

herinfernallady

And then the crappy carols start

6:13 am

Karys

ooops..herin...you ok ?

6:14 am

herinfernallady

Bonkler we will have hot cross buns on News Years Day and no im not kidding.

6:16 am

Karys

herinfernallady

Christmas is sorted for lunch and tea we (the b.f and i) are invading his Aunts all day

6:18 am

hydra

That's some babble slang I'm not familiar with!

6:19 am

EspritdJean

6:20 am

hydra

Now I see it. I shall slap myself in the face with a wet haddock forthwith.

6:20 am

EspritdJean

gently tho

6:21 am

hydra

And I'll make sure it isn't frozen. Not like my friend who was presented with a frozen duck as his prize in a raffle, dropped it on his foot and broke all his toes!

6:23 am

EspritdJean

6:23 am

herinfernallady

Are you 100% sure it was a kitty not a coon as raccoons are nasty

6:23 am

hydra

Sounds like Fat Freddy's cat from the old cartoons! I loved that character

6:24 am

EspritdJean

6:24 am

EspritdJean

it gives you the 1st 2 letters, how many letters and how many points

pabtrek

morning Nonnie

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Nono. My number is one off from the large animal veterinary practice out here. So people often call with birthing emergencies for calves and foals, etc. I have thought about showing up at their farms as I am a pediatrician anyway.

8:50 am

NonnieLight

Hello, montreal!

8:51 am

montreal13

lol scrabs

8:51 am

NonnieLight

Hiya annie, pab, nono and scrabs--and anyone I may have missed. Snow? Who has snow?

8:51 am

Scrabbler

WE have snow and a snow advisory through tomorrow AM. Wahoooo for winter!

8:51 am

NonoNanette

lol scrabs you could take care of the newborn for them

8:52 am

NonnieLight

I wish we had snow. I love snow days :o)

8:52 am

montreal13

here in Montreal, all white this AM under a beatiful sunny sky with minus 12 degrees ! who could ask for more ? ... well, maybe Nono...

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I can take care of calves, foals, lambs, etc. Human babies are just the same, without as much hair.

8:53 am

NonoNanette

thanks for excluding me montreal LOL

8:53 am

montreal13

lol

8:54 am

NonnieLight

We get yu
k and ice. Snow is much better.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I used to date a vet and I explained that I am a vet for young human animals that also bite, kick, hit, pinch, spit, pee and poop on me and rip off my glasses.

8:54 am

NonnieLight

hmmm...that was supposed to be "yuk"

8:54 am

montreal13

nicely put scrabs !

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I am a veterinarian for just one species of animal.

8:55 am

Atalante

but at least they don't have to have Elizabethan collars to stop scratching :P

8:55 am

NonnieLight

lol ata

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Many should, Ata--we see infected rashes, picked-at sores, etc.

8:56 am

Atalante

oh yes. but our hands are too clever. we get round these things

8:57 am

NonoNanette

nonnie is your icon representing current conditions?

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Actually for kids there are arm braces that prevent the elbows from bending. Parents get upset when hospitalized kids have them on.

8:57 am

montreal13

but the collars could help us humans catch a signal from another alien species...

8:57 am

NonnieLight

No, nono. No here :o( Our weather has turned a bit colder but no precip in sight.

8:58 am

Scrabbler

I always have an aluminum foil hat on to protect myself.

8:58 am

Atalante

I could have done with them! My mother used to have to tape thick mittens onto my hands to stop me scratching ezcema!

8:58 am

NonoNanette

ah thank goodness for that nonnie,,, I fear we may have that ice by tomorrow night

8:58 am

montreal13

9:02 am

montreal13

luc it is then ! - asthma took away my childhood in effect - it wasn't until i was 13 that i got the (in)famous allergy tests...

9:03 am

NonnieLight

yes, nono...
wrongness would be a good thing!

9:04 am

Atalante

same here with bronchitis. I had very bad ezcema till I was about 4, and I mean about 70-80% body coverage, but luckily I dont really remember that. Then bronchitis till I was about 14. I was off school from about October - February nearly every year with stupid bronchitis attacks. Then asthma, and thats been the best of the three so far!

9:05 am

Atalante

though I still end up in hospital nearly every year for a few days!

9:05 am

NonnieLight

Oh, ata and montreal...I feel for you as my youngest suffers with similar conditions.

9:06 am

montreal13

i think u had it worst then me Ata ((hugs)) - it took 4 and a half years of injections to de-sensitize me from all those allergies - have been asthma-free since the age of 18...

9:06 am

NonoNanette

126 and FIREWORKS!!

9:06 am

Atalante

Atalante

9:07 am

montreal13

but at least Nonnie, there are some medications that one can take plus those inhalators - there was nothing in the olden days...

9:08 am

NonnieLight

She was finally diagnosed with ichthosis vulgarus (I'm sure I spelled that wrong).

9:08 am

montreal13

yes ata - 4Â½ years - once every week, then every 2 weeks, 3 weeks etc...

9:08 am

Atalante

oh ick, thats horrid, poor girl

9:08 am

bbnaz

rockets here! and Nono, I love the whimsy of your video today!

9:09 am

NonnieLight

Yes, montreal...she was put on the medications at an early age which helped her.

9:09 am

Atalante

there is no *way* I could have done that, luc! my poor mother pretty much had to chloroform me to get me to the drs for any jab, let alone one each week LOL

9:09 am

NonnieLight

congrats bbnaz!

9:09 am

montreal13

wtg BB !!

9:09 am

NonnieLight

Ata, poor thing...are you still afraid of needles?

9:11 am

montreal13

9:11 am

NonoNanette

9:12 am

NonnieLight

and may no ice come your way...

9:12 am

Atalante

not so much - well, I was never really scared of them. They *hurt*. And no-one believed me for years that they hurt more than anyone else's injections do LOL, then we found out I'm also allergic to some types of metal. Inlcuding the type they make hypo syringes out of. So any injection I have hurts for about a month or two afterwards. Great.

9:13 am

montreal13

(((Ata)))

9:13 am

Atalante

lol doesnt bother me now cos I'm used to it. But as a kid I was very unimpressed

9:14 am

NonnieLight

For goodness sake! I'm so sorry for you...that had to have been awful.

9:15 am

Atalante

it certainly wasn't fun. but it could have been worse

9:16 am

NonnieLight

I try to remember that some things we have to endure during our childhood hopefully helps to make us stronger adults.

9:17 am

montreal13

in some ways, i guess they do Nonnie..

9:17 am

Atalante

9:20 am

weegee

Good day, all! Only starting here but had such a nice chat yesterday after long absence I just had to say hello.

9:21 am

Atalante

hi weegee

9:21 am

NonnieLight

hello weegee and welcome back!

9:21 am

weegee

hey, ata. saw your notes about allergy shots. I get 2 a week now, have for about 2 years, molds in one arm, the rest in the other. Hey, nonnie!

9:22 am

gwenski

Nonnie: le5: take a four-letter word for Christmas, reverse it, then finish it with a vowel

9:22 am

Atalante

really? Wow. You're brave :D

9:23 am

NonnieLight

thank you, gwen

9:23 am

NonnieLight

I hope you get good results with the shots, weegee.

9:23 am

gwenski

You're welcome. And good morning, all!

9:24 am

weegee

NO, ata! Lost 6+ weeks of work and 250+ hours of accrued sick leave a couple of years ago. Haven't had so much as a sniffle since starting shots, also twice daily generic benadryl - doesn't make me sleepy like some; rather, hyper!

9:24 am

weegee

Hi gwen!

9:24 am

Atalante

yes! I consider that very brave LOL!

9:24 am

NonnieLight

OK, I'm outta here. My husband offered to make breakfast and I think I should give a little assistance ;O) Take care all.

9:25 am

weegee

For shots, I just close my eyes and think of England, lol!

9:25 am

ypsigirl

oooh got those three 8's!

9:25 am

Atalante

do you go to the drs or can you do them yourself?

9:28 am

weegee

doc's office. Not legal here yet to self inject, which makes no sense since people self-inj insulin when needed. I hope nasal sprays get approved soon

9:28 am

weegee

doc's office. Not legal here yet to self inject, which makes no sense since people self-inj insulin when needed. I hope nasal sprays get approved soon

Atalante

9:29 am

Atalante

9:29 am

weegee

all U.S.

9:30 am

Atalante

9:31 am

weegee

9:32 am

Atalante

Dana*

9:37 am

Anniebrook

Dana, you can scroll down to Lickety's Babble Clues and get the first 2 letters of every word in the grid

9:37 am

Anniebrook

It will also tell you how many letters in the word and the point value of the word

9:38 am

Atalante

or you can be masochistic and do it listless LOL

9:38 am

Dana*

either way... is tempting. haha!

9:38 am

Anniebrook

Yes, Atalante has a point there if you are inclined

9:39 am

Anniebrook

Piles of laundry to do...anyone want a clue before I go?

9:39 am

Atalante

all depends on your level of stubbornness LOL

9:40 am

Anniebrook

10:51 am

11:47 am

Atalante

haz! we have another spanielette on babble :) called Pokey71, she has 2 cockers

11:50 am

Haz1558

Aha - another spaniel fancier? She shows good taste.

11:50 am

Haz1558

Is Pokey another Tangleword exile?

11:50 am

sassyB

anyone have clues for the re5/10 and 6/18?

11:51 am

sassyB

before i pull my hair out!!

11:51 am

Haz1558

re5/10 - add another consonant to the preceding re4/4, then plural it.

11:51 am

Atalante

not sure where she appeared from, but she has a 5 month cocker and a 12 year old cocker. very sensible

11:51 am

Haz1558

(The last two letters could be short for a street or a saint, if that's any help, sassy)

11:52 am

Haz1558

A 5 month cocker would be lovely. I saw a baby springer the other day. Thought about kidnapping it from the owner, but decided against it.

11:53 am

sassyB

thx so much, haz. i think i seriously have a hatred for re words after yesterday's grid

11:53 am

Haz1558

They were a bit disporportionate yesterday, I'll give you that.

11:54 am

Atalante

I think I might have done. liver or black?

11:54 am

Haz1558

Liver. It had stopped in the street, obviously exhausted, and the owner swept it up in his arms. So cute!

11:55 am

Atalante

darling!

11:55 am

Haz1558

I might have staged an intervention if the owner had been nasty, but he seemed to be caring!

11:56 am

Atalante

good. we like caring spaniel owners

11:57 am

Haz1558

Have you been up to any artistic endeavours today?

11:58 am

Atalante

oh yes. but its Secret

11:58 am

harpjane

hello

11:58 am

Haz1558

Hello harpjane.

11:58 am

Haz1558

Oooh, Secret. Do we talk in hushed whispers?

11:59 am

Atalante

too secret even for hushed whispers!

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Gosh, do we need to speak in code? Or should it not even be talked about at all?

12:00 pm

Atalante

not to be talked about - yet :)

12:00 pm

Judi

Afternoon, cats and kittens (and spaniels)!

12:00 pm

gracewer

12:01 pm

Haz1558

Good afternoon Judi - the spaniel greets you also.

12:01 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations gracew4/8.

12:03 pm

Haz1558

If Judi is the good cop, who's going to be the bad cop? 'Tell us, or the puppy gets it!'

12:03 pm

Atalante

dont like meringue! haha!

12:04 pm

Judi

Nonsense. I'm always the bad cop. *Dangles chocolate in front of puppy*

12:04 pm

tizer

clue pls for ae 5

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Is it poisoned chocolate?

12:05 pm

Haz1558

ae5 - has the same ending as the March date that Caesar was to beware.

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Or, ae plus the start of Othello's wife's name.

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Or ae plus what comes before Miserables on stage.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Scrub the last one.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

That would make it Some Glums instead of The Glums.

12:06 pm

Oops. Upon closer inspection, realize tizer's dog is not a husky. Cute anyway, though!

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Last three letters of the date Julius was to beware and also beginning of Othello's wife.

12:10 pm

cybernan

12:10 pm

Haz1558

No, just the last three, sorry, should have made that clearer.

12:12 pm

cybernan

12:12 pm

Haz1558

You're practically done, cybernan. One last push with the list.

Finished- going to start my day

12:41 pm

a di 6 is a comma type of musical interval, usually meaning the difference between three justly tuned major thirds (tuned in the frequency ratio 5:4) and an octave (in the ratio 2:1), equal to 128:125 or about 41.06 cents. In 12-tone equal temperament, on a piano for example, three major thirds in a row equal an octave, but three justly-tuned major thirds fall quite a bit flat of an octave, and the diesis describes the amount by which they are flat.

12:41 pm

congrats, DR

2:17 pm

It was done by request of the Royal Navy and there was a Lieut-Commander present -- more to arrive for tonight's performance IF they can get here from Victoria -- big snowstorm!

2:18 pm

tygerbryght

I've got a muscle relaxer, but haven't been taking it lately. it never seems to help me a whole lot, but maybe it would now I've been off it for a while

2:18 pm

Jacula

Hetty must be so proud and excited, jilli.

2:19 pm

jillibus

Hetty is EXHAUSTED!

2:19 pm

Jacula

BBS - laundry to see to.

2:20 pm

jillibus

The Navy chap had come over from England and is staying with Hetty. He has a marvellous singing voice and joined in the songs included in the performance -- also gave a sampling during the interval. Wow!

2:21 pm

EvaNadine

any hints for the S on the right or the Es in the row beneath it?

2:22 pm

Haz1558

Let me have a look for you.

2:23 pm

jillibus

I have a word for the S but can't figure our which one came from there

2:24 pm

2:24 pm

Hetty is Wonder Woman in disguise.

2:26 pm

tygerbryght

oh. okay. thanks

2:26 pm

tygerbryght

I couldn't figure out if she was a friend or relative :)

2:26 pm

Haz1558

Eva, still trying to locate that other s, or have you got it?

2:27 pm

EvaNadine

2:27 pm

EvaNadine

2:27 pm

tygerbryght

for those e words, Eva, one of them refers to the letter E

2:27 pm

Haz1558

se5/10 - plural of se4/4 , looking like a different rendition of a sea animal.

2:28 pm

Pokey_71

woo hoo...fireworks!!

2:28 pm

tygerbryght

I'm generally useless for things like figuring out which of several choices originated a given word. I just churn away at all of them :P

2:29 pm

tygerbryght

yay, pokey

2:29 pm

Jacula

Well done, Pokey.

2:29 pm

Haz1558

Congratulations Pokey!

2:29 pm

tygerbryght

every one I get is a plus, doesn't matter where I found it :D

2:29 pm

Haz1558

It only becomes meaningful, tyger, when you're asked for a specific location for a clue.

2:30 pm

tygerbryght

I know Haz. I was just trying to apologize for not being much help

2:30 pm

Haz1558

It's okay, you've probably helped others get words.

2:31 pm

tygerbryght

I try to do clueing every day, when I can

2:31 pm

tygerbryght

I feel so indebted for the times when I need clues

2:32 pm

tygerbryght

and too often, when I need help, I seem totally brainless

2:32 pm

Jacula

29 to find and I'm slowing down now.

2:33 pm

Haz1558

Sedate walk instead of mad dash?

2:34 pm

Jacula

Puff, pant... gasp... yes, Haz.

2:35 pm

Haz1558

Company's just arrived, better greet them!

2:35 pm

Jacula

Wonder why you can't rewe4/9? My garden constantly requires it!

2:35 pm

tygerbryght

dunno, jac. I tried that one, too

2:35 pm

Jacula

See you later, Haz.

2:35 pm

tygerbryght

2:39 pm

tygerbryght

I admit I had to look closely, mitch, but your font is VERY clean

2:39 pm

6:27 pm

cathy22w

lillian - I lost 54lbs in the last year by watching portions.. and I found that by portioning out big bags of snacks in smaller, one portion size snack bags really helped control things.... one bag didn't seem bad, but to take two.. well that seemed too much. Psychological stuff, I guess

6:27 pm

momof5

ae + to give a ***cription is to tell what it looks like

6:45 pm

Spanky

good Lil, resting at the moment, hubby is here sleeping and the dogs went to groomers today and they are soft. Nice day.

6:45 pm

herinfernallady

Probably SK but choc soy is damn good. Kinda got an aversion to lactose

6:45 pm

angelinaxox

i used to watch it all the time when i was a a little kid

6:45 pm

herinfernallady

Lili i buy Vitasoy Choc bliss.

6:46 pm

6:47 pm

Spanky

My dogs are pretty clean dogs. The blonde hates to be wet, so she tends to not do that. The black dog - well he is more the tomboy.

6:47 pm

Minveryork

The se 5/12 word is e plus the pi 4/5 word momof5.

6:48 pm

herinfernallady

6:48 pm

skheiny

6:49 pm

herinfernallady

I used to work as a chef

6:49 pm

Spanky

I have 2 mixed labs. the girl is all blonde and the boy is all black. They are mixed with something smaller. She is about 6 and he is 4

6:50 pm

lilliann

i'm the same as you angel...i use to love the brady bunch when i was little...the old series was better than the film though

6:50 pm

herinfernallady

Oh cute puppies

6:50 pm

skheiny

wow herin, then I guess it's a little easier(?) knowing how to sub-out more figure friendly foods for the baddies

6:51 pm

angelinaxox

yes, i agree

6:51 pm

lilliann

we use to have a golden retriever..he was as soft as muck..i miss him

6:52 pm

herinfernallady

Yes defiantly. I love turkey mince over beef mince as the beef mince is fairly crappy when you cant buy top grade (there is 3 of us in the house and we spend about $150 - $200 a fortnight on food

6:53 pm

momof5

help with NE8/45, plz?

6:54 pm

skheiny

Gee

6:54 pm

Uniquity

One who requires the most (ne8 builds off 4)

6:54 pm

lilliann

mom, all the 8's are the same, beginning middle and ending

6:54 pm

skheiny

all the 8's end the same way momof5

6:55 pm

Uniquity

6:55 pm

lilliann

yes uni

6:55 pm

herinfernallady

most in ne?? of help

6:55 pm

momof5

Thanks. I thought that was it but didn't see the letters connecting correctly.

6:58 pm

herinfernallady

So SK what is Russia like?

6:58 pm

Minveryork

A ne 8/45 word is one who is the most ne 4/5 momof5

7:01 pm

skheiny

Russia is very different than the "western" world herin...must have govt permission to go from one town to the next, food is bland (but great soups - that's what I'm living on here), and the people son't look you in the eye

7:01 pm

herinfernallady

WOOOOOOOOOOOT we finally have a politician in favour of gay rights. Also today John Howard is nomore

7:01 pm

herinfernallady

Wow SK i didn't think Russia was like that.

7:01 pm

skheiny

great herin, I understand that's been a sticky issue there for awhile

7:03 pm

herinfernallady

Yes it is a sticky issue. It should me equal rights for everyone. Which will be brilliant

7:04 pm

skheiny

it is still very "backwards", technology is about 1970's level, not many people will tolerate a tall Texan with a RU/Eng dictionary either LOL I wish the US would adopt more favorable rights for gays

7:04 pm

herinfernallady

Sk i guess the people there have it hard in RUssia.

7:05 pm

skheiny

I guess the US is still kinda "backwards" too ;-)

7:06 pm

herinfernallady

SK have you been on the Trans Siberian Railway and all that? Sorry to bug you find it fascinating.

7:06 pm

angelinaxox

fireworks

7:06 pm

herinfernallady

Yah ANge

7:06 pm

skheiny

That's the strange thing, herin...they don't know they have it hard...status quo for them. As a Russian citizen you are not allowed to leave the country for longer than a month...if you don't come back they will hunt you down and put you in jail

7:07 pm

lilliann

wtg ang!!

7:07 pm

Uniquity

Woohoo Angelina!! **party**

7:07 pm

herinfernallady

wow that is mind boggling.

7:07 pm

skheiny

No haven't been on the Trans-C...have to get permission to leave Krasnoyark, and sinse my husband is working we don't get the chance

7:07 pm

skheiny

Yeah Angel!!

7:08 pm

angelinaxox

thanks, and have a good night

7:08 pm

herinfernallady

OH you need permission. I can't get my head around that. That is crazy.I would like to know why you need permission to go to another place

7:09 pm

lilliann

skheiny....sorry, i don't understand how the russians need permission to leave a town but they can travel abroad!

7:09 pm

lilliann

nite angel and take care

7:09 pm

herinfernallady

Night Angel

7:11 pm

skheiny

they keep track of your where-abouts at all time, herin, in fact my hubby has had a KGB guy tailing him since he started, and they are quite obvious about it, too! They don't want him "stealing" 1970's tech I guess LOL They have to get a Visa to leave, have an exact itinerary and reason for there trip, same even if just going to another town. Basically most Rusiians never leave their city of birth

7:11 pm

herinfernallady

Wow.

7:12 pm

skheiny

yup

7:12 pm

herinfernallady

I can't imagine needing permission to go into Melbourne to do a spot of shopping.

7:12 pm

Spanky

ne8,45 anyone?

7:13 pm

herinfernallady

note that sound is my head imploding at the lack of freedom the people have and how little the world knows about it

7:13 pm

herinfernallady

SPanky most ne?? ( you really want it)

7:13 pm

lilliann

ne is more of the ne4/5 spanky

7:14 pm

skheiny

neither can I, however, every town is self sufficient..radio/tv stations, all kinds of shopping (infact thta's the best part about Russia...shops galore, and with the exchange rate I'm keeping many of them in business LOL) that's the thing, there freedom is lacking, but services are still tolerable

7:14 pm

Lil - my Beloved is on a boys' night out, or rather in... he's down the road at a workmate's with some other chaps for beer(s), curry and probably film(s). It's my guess the films will have soundtracks with lots of gunshots and explosions or, if not, moaning and groaning (but we won't dwell on those!). He's taken his sleeping bag and a change of clothes and will be back sometime Sunday (or, later today, rather).

lilyjoy,when we ask for clues we say 1rst 2 letters of the word, how many letters in the word&point value for that word. So an se 4/4 word starts with se, is 4 letters long and is worth 4 points. lilyjoy can click on Lickety's at the bottom of the page to get word list.

Lil - I will enjoy. I'm just hoping his disgestive system processes the beer(s) and curry before Sunday night. If it doesn't, my son's away visiting his girlfriend in Friesland (area of Holland where the Friesian cows come from) and so I may well grab my pillow and move into an 'unpolluted' environment, if you get my drift.;)

Well, lil, if you woke up in the night, not realising you weren't in your own room, you might walk into something, too! LOL One of my uncles, who worked odd hours that meant he got home after bedtime and in the dark, regularly barked his shins/bumped his head/fell over things that weren't there before he left for work... my auntie used to get bored very frequently and move the furniture around.

8:43 pm

Jen

I feel like Spies Like Us... Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor... LOL
Loving the out-Christmas-ing dcseain! Haven't put up the tree yet (which will go in the front window), but have 500 mini lights out front.... keeping in mind, it's a townhome 8-)

8:45 pm

lilliann

i fall over things and into things every day jac as i don't have any balance, so my mean sense of humour thinks its funny when he does it because it makes a change from me.....i know, i'm wicked!!

8:46 pm

Jacula

Jen - no chance of us putting any Christmas decs up yet as sitting room is still like a warehouse due to my kids having dumped stuff there. ('Kids 'are 20 and 23, btw.) A house just around the corner has had all the Christmas stuff up since November 5th! I prefer to leave things until 2 weeks-10 days before Christmas. Did get 1st Xmas card on 30th Nov., though but that was from relatives in Canada and so excusable.

8:46 pm

{{{nutski!}}} where you been? we had a lot of power problems today...

9:30 pm

Jacula

There's an art to poking snoring men in the ribs, btw. The degree of sharpness of the poke is vital to success. To little and they carry on snoring, too much and they turn a complete circle and carry on where they left off after much snorting, tooth grinding and maybe the odd bout of flatulence or two. The correct grade of poke accompanied by threats voiced aloud at just the right pitch, volume and tone can work wonders.*grins*

9:30 pm

stidmama

Hi Stid--how is life for you and in the Pacific NW? It is quite cold and wintry here.

9:35 pm

TXZinnia

Hi, Atom

9:35 pm

Jacula

Hi, Scrabbs. I'm just 'hanging out' as you Yanks say. (Over here, to people my age, that phrase would mean you're 'flashing'. LOL.)

9:35 pm

Jen

sw5/20... depending on which one, the first like like a person from the scandanavian country and the other is to use a broom

9:35 pm

Scrabbler

Well, Jacula, I am "hanging", but under a sweatshirt.

9:35 pm

dcseain

what is the appropriate term/phrase there, jac?

9:36 pm

AtomSmasher420

how is everyone

9:36 pm

Jen

last sw5/18 is like to curse, but change the 2nd vowel

9:36 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, in this world of polictical correctness, I do hope no one wants to flog me, imprison me or have me killed for using the term 'Yanks'.

9:36 pm

stidmama

it actually snowed a bit here today Scrabbler, just enough to get everyone all in a tizzy. Might get a bit more this evening, but it's not bad

9:36 pm

Scrabbler

9:36 pm

Jen

9:36 pm

TXZinnia

9:41 pm

YAY Scrabbler!

9:41 pm

featherbee

sorry stid! i felt kinda bad about that one actually!

9:41 pm

featherbee

jac, do you mean you have games going on the scrabulous site already?

9:42 pm

featherbee

so stid, will you ever play me again after that?

9:42 pm

Scrabbler

I just got home from our tennis/Xmas party and I need to unwind before bed. I will be seeing Mary's baby in the AM for a 2 mo well baby visit. It is the best time for the husband to bring her in. Mary has 9 more radiation treatments to go. She is weak physically but strong in spirit.

9:42 pm

Jacula

feather - I do! I didn't start 'em (still haven't worked out how to do that yet) but I've been put into 4 by my friends.

9:43 pm

pam

I am thinking of her, scrabs!

9:43 pm

Jacula

Atom - past tense an exclamation or surprise is oh4.

9:43 pm

AtomSmasher420

i got it

9:43 pm

Scrabbler

After I see the baby tomorrow then I work my Sunday shift of sick kids for 3 hrs or so.

9:43 pm

featherbee

i don't think if you have a game going on the regular scrabulous site that it can be transferred to the facebook scrabulous application. they're the same site, but run by two different applications perhaps

9:44 pm

Scrabbler

Keep sending positive energy to Mary. TY, Pam.

9:44 pm

pam

I have a pal in CT whose 7-year-old daughter had SEVERE headaches and nausea and her former pede was convinced it was stress. My friend got a second opinion, who immediately scheduled a CT scan. I thought about you--your profession and the kids--a lot, Scrab. Scan was clear, they are ruling out migraines and allergies now...

9:44 pm

stidmama

Scrabbler, I hope the visit with Mary's baby goes well. How nice to be able to watch after her child this way. I hope the radiation treatments go quickly for her.

9:44 pm

pam

Is that shift in hospital, scrabs? (((((((HUGS)))))))

9:45 pm

TXZinnia

9:45 pm

featherbee

trying to finish before nick wakes up, and am stuck on the very first one! ae5 please?

9:45 pm

Jacula

feather - no, this is on the Facebook thing. I only ever played Scrabulous solo before. When I joined Facebook after requests from one 'real life' friend and one 'Babble' friend... who, incidentally must be real life because I talk to them almost every day... my other friends swarmed in to check out the word game.

9:45 pm

featherbee

you go ahead and start it stid, since i started the last game. if you don't have a preference, use the sowpods dictionary!

9:46 pm

TXZinnia

ae + "It is your ***tiny, Luke" said Darth Vader

9:46 pm

harpjane

sounds like a disesase that is very common in Africa, and often fatal, ae5

9:47 pm

stidmama

oops. didn't see about the sowpods... sorry.

9:47 pm

featherbee

ok, over on the left side is a list of applications. you should see scrabulous as one of them. if you don't see it, click the "more" button. once you click it, your games should be listed for you.

9:47 pm

featherbee

9:47 pm

Jacula

Jacula

We have a by-pass that saves our village from motorway traffic. For years, since the 50s, it's been 2-laned. They are now widening the middle bit to make it 1-laned either side. That's to slow down the traffic up to and from the M5, due to a few fatal accidents in recent years. Do they realise that this important through road, if slowed down by becoming 1 lane either side will result in major pollution?

10:12 pm

TXZinnia

Here's one -- I grew up in Indiana which has a colleg named Ball State

10:12 pm

I am beginning to think that instead of putting goodies to eat and drink in the Babble penalty box we should insist that peeople in there read and learn 2 pages of the Oxford or Cambridge dictionary beginning with the word they couldn't find/got wrong/posted in the grid.
