NL with all the rocky bays and little towns....very relaxing.....all the people were friendly...most of the less friendly ones were the people who go there to work for the summer months and the tourists...lol

12:45 am

dcseain

indeed so, just, we get more ice than snow usually. and were's Zone 6 plant wise, with Zone 7 hardy if sheltered.

12:46 am

jilli: gave a sacred dance lesson yesterday evening. Still refusing to give that up, so a couple of times a year I take double dose of meds and pretend to be unhandicapped, and teach people to meditate/dance and move through symbols. It is wonderful! And it has a huge price tag, but that is ok.

Just1Mar

even better!

1:50 am

sprite

hi Ata! *hug*

1:50 am

2:49 am

bfsog

hey guys - whats a phantom word? is it a word you can make in the grid but not conjoining letters?

2:49 am

FranMag

brb

2:49 am

sprite

now I should collect all my courage and do the shopping

2:49 am

FranMag

that, or a word that you can almost make even if the letters aren't all there

2:49 am

lynxxx

yes bfsog - or a word that might be missing 1 or 2 letters

2:49 am

sprite

bfsog: that can be a phantom, indeed. Or it is a word that is almost in the grid, but not quite. If we keep seeing a word in the grid that is not there, we call it phantoms.

2:49 am

sprite

*snap* Fran, again :)

2:50 am

FranMag

bye sprite! (in case you're gone when i get back)

3:43 am

blueruin

i can't get to sleep unless i thoroughly exhaust myself

blueruin

3:43 am

hydra

I should put my insomnia to good use by playing Babble.Hey blue, you may have hit somehting there. I prob need more exercise!

3:44 am

bfsog

I better start advertising, I have volunteered to do a marathon next year for a charity

3:44 am

blueruin

3:44 am

bfsog

3:46 am

bfsog

yeah, i play football(soccer) a lot, and hockey, and i used to cross country at school, and i was in america last year and did a marathon there

3:46 am

hydra

Sounds like you're really fit. That's a help.

3:46 am

FranMag

oh wait, that's what i would do.

3:47 am

blueruin

where do you live, bf?

3:47 am

bfsog

I am looking forward to it, its in a very scenic English town (Bath) I have never been there. I live in Scotland, UK

3:47 am

blueruin

3:48 am

FranMag

3:48 am

bfsog

3:49 am

bfsog

so soon I will be pestering you all for sponsorship!

3:49 am

blueruin

i'm jealous!

3:49 am

FranMag

it would be a waste if you didn't do that bf.

3:50 am

FranMag

the sightseeing i mean, and i guess hitting everyone up for sponsorship. :-)

3:50 am

blueruin

3:50 am

blueruin

good for you, bf

3:50 am

"The way of life these people live and the harmony they have with the animals is being lost as technology takes over. Very little has been done to capture their way of life whereas in places like Africa there are many books and documentaries about them." --the camelphotos guy on india

4:41 am

FranMag

Hello all. down to last 2 and just can't figure them out. Any help with the re7 and re8? ty.

4:44 am

Eva

trying to think of a sunny place to go for a short visit. The desert sounds appealing. It's just such an effort to find someone to Merp sit, and to make sure the pipes don't freeze, etc

4:45 am

FranMag

yeah, strange video blue!

4:45 am

blueruin

nurse: one who empathizes is a re*****

4:47 am

36 farenheit here

4:49 am

nurse1000

ty . Cold here today and looking for some icy weather. BRRRR

4:49 am

Eva

it was that way here last winter frances....and really hurt the economy, which depends so much on the ski industry. Also just didn't feel like winter. But so far this winter we've had a total of about a foot.

4:51 am

Eva

to fight the winter blues, yesterday I gave the birds and squirrels a treat by filling the feeder with pure black sunflower seeds. They were ecstatic!

4:52 am

FranMag

uno!

4:52 am

Frances

We can't win Eva. No snow - no skiing. Then the opposite, rain, rain and more rain spoils the summer. And boy did we have some rain this summer.

4:52 am

FranMag

how many points total are there today?

4:53 am

YAY! I'm good thanks. Mr Fishbulb is in South Africa this week with work (lucky him) he's back on Sunday. I've been soo busy without him here. Am off work today and tomorrow to catch up on stuff! (And Babble :D)

5:12 am

pinkhatlil

what does he do fish?

5:13 am

Fishbulb

something in computers, they're making him redundant and moving his job to SA - he's gone out there to show them how to do it (I think)

5:13 am

Fishbulb

the most exotic place my work have sent me is Gateshead! lol

5:13 am

pinkhatlil

is that a permanent or temporary thing? LOLOL

5:14 am

Frances

We used to have a game when she said no. I would tell her that if she could last five minutes without saying that word we would have a game or do a jigsaw or some writing. Worked every time.

5:14 am

Fishbulb

he'd better be blooming coming back (and with armfuls of birthday presents for me) hehe - the job move is permanent, but he's only there for the week

5:15 am

6:52 am

alice -- for some of us it's nearly 5

6:52 am

mrpresident

bye lynxx :)

6:52 am

featherbee

so the moms out there...how do you know if a baby just had a big spit up, or he is sick? daniel's been throwing up since yesterday, and nick had some big spit ups/throw ups this am. hard to tell

6:52 am

alicesuckling

blimey...strange cuz i've just had lunch...its nearly 1pm here

6:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Babblers. Featherbee---you must be home with a sick kid?

6:53 am

bfsog

feather - maybe just speak to doctor or nurse to be safe

6:53 am

mrpresident

hi scrabbs :)

6:53 am

Anniebrook

feather, sounds like they are sick...hi scrabbler, just in time

6:53 am

Scrabbler

We typed at the same time, feather. If this is new for Nick (to be a puker/spitter) then he probably has the same virus as Daniel. Any diarrhea kicking in yet?

6:54 am

Scrabbler

bfsog--I am the official Babble pediatrician, LOL

6:54 am

bfsog

oh right! hmm i shall bear that in mind

6:55 am

featherbee

not yet, his diaper was all pee this am, and daniel seems fine. i just gave him a popsicle, as he was insisting on breakfeast, even though he just threw up!

6:55 am

RedDawn

good morning all..i have a question for the old timers

6:55 am

alicesuckling

can someone give me a clue for no,5 please

6:56 am

Scrabbler

Well, you know what to do--an electrolyte liquid for Nick and clear fluids for Daniel (no juice).

6:56 am

RedDawn

in the archives, are the winners listed in order of who solved it first..on down to last?

6:56 am

Scrabbler

I hope they get off easy with this virus, Featherbee--some brief puking and no diarrhea.

6:57 am

featherbee

nick's always been a spitter, but this was twice, big ones, fairly forceful. he's in his second outfit today! I'm still nursing nick, i was just planning on nursing as much as he needed

6:57 am

featherbee

poor daniel had it all day yesterday. i had hoped he'd be done with it today!

6:58 am

featherbee

aww, i wish you could all see nick right now. in his bouncer, holding his burp cloth like a lovey, sucking his thumb. so cute.

6:59 am

featherbee

i think so reddawn

7:00 am

RedDawn

ty featherbee

7:01 am

EspritdJean

alice plural of no4/4

7:01 am

Scrabbler

Just nurse Nick for very short periods so he doesn't get as much in his belly, and YES he is a cutie.

7:02 am

alicesuckling

thanks

7:02 am

bfsog

19 to go..

7:02 am

Scrabbler

The vomiting part of the illness usually lasts 24 hrs or so and diarrhea typically begins in the midst of the puking if it is going to happen.

7:02 am

Scrabbler

Go bfsog go!!!

7:03 am

featherbee

he's a quick nurser anyway, so that'll be easy. often 5-10 minutes. ok, so the grid....since daniel's laid very low today, i'm going to do it in between laundry loads. how is it today?

7:03 am

Scrabbler

I have found 4 words so far--am mostly concerned about Daniel and Nick and Featherbee.

7:03 am

alicesuckling

still got 63

7:03 am

Uniquity

Scrabbler, I wish you were around for advice my entire childhood! My family has an "it'll go away" policy, heh

aww, ty scrabs

7:03 am

Jadey

Alice...I spy you!

7:04 am

Well, most illnesses in childhood DO just go away, but there are comfort measures and things to watch for.

Scrabbler

How fortuitous, feather! (I love big words.)

7:08 am

featherbee

Hi all

7:24 am

That's good! ...This game is amazing. And addictive.

7:24 am

7:25 am

johnnyrocket

It is addictive.. I have hit a brink wall at the moment, but I am sure things will come to me.. ha ha

7:27 am

mrpresident

can I have clues for the re 7 and re8

7:27 am

Anniebrook

not there yet, mrp

7:28 am

Uniquity

Johnny, have you looked at the clue lists provided by Lickety and Brandy Jack? They're amazing for when you're stuck!

7:28 am

Aloyisius

someone who tells a story, mrp + the pl....hi everyone!

7:28 am

periwinkle

thanks Aloy and hi

7:28 am

Aloyisius

7:29 am

Hello from a gray, rainy, sleety place today

hello in spanish

7:30 am

Aloyisius

or the bull fighter's cheers

7:30 am

huh.. I haven't which one is the best uniq

7:30 am

mrpresident

thanks so much :))

7:30 am

bfsog

bull fighters, but i have that one i need the other

7:30 am

Aloyisius

hi peri.. sunshine here in fla!

mornin babblers!

7:30 am

periwinkle

okay, I am coming down for a visit Aloy :-)

7:31 am

periwinkle

hi Eva

7:31 am

mrpresident

thanks again peri

7:31 am

Uniquity

I use Lickety's because I am a fan of bable expert, but it really just depends on how much help you want. BJ's is in bab. anon. (underneath the grid), and lickety's is a stand alone, also underneath the grid.

7:31 am

Aloyisius

give me a d***r and i'll give you a clue, lol

7:31 am

Uniquity

I find Lickety's to be idiot proof and therefore amazingly helpful, but if you just want a nudge, you might prefer BJ's

7:31 am

bfsog

big pot?

7:31 am

periwinkle

np mrp

7:31 am

mrpresident

I use Lickety because I AM A HUGE FAN OF HIS :)))

7:32 am

mrpresident

oh, I must be an idiot then

7:32 am

periwinkle

I have en8/40, re8/40 what am I missing

7:32 am

Uniquity

And because Lickety is the most amazing person on the face of the planet :) I get very upseton the rare days when the list doesn't come up.

7:32 am

periwinkle

might you be jus a wee bit biased mrp :-)

7:32 am

Aloyisius

i think Lickety has a HUGE fan club all across the world! (-:

7:32 am

periwinkle

you are definitely not an idiot mrp

7:33 am

Uniquity

Uh-Oh. Idiot proof = bad term?

7:33 am

Scrabbler

I was checking e-mail, Periwinkle. I spent the afternoon with her yesterday and told her that you are doing distance reiki to help her. An MRI Tues showed reduction in the tumors! She has her last radiation treatment today and will continue chemo. She is very weak and the next focus is intense PT and OT.

7:33 am

mrpresident

well, he developed it for me... ergo ... idiot proof

7:33 am

EvaNadine

how is everyone today??

7:33 am

Aloyisius

hi Eva!

7:33 am

periwinkle

I sent Reiki last night and will continue to do so, Scarbs. thanks for the update

7:33 am

johnnyrocket

ok.. great. Iwill check then.. I need to one that helps that is for sure... I have only done like 30 on my own thus far.. ha ha

7:34 am

Uniquity

Oop...Not my intention! Just saying it is easier (for me) than BJ's. I like the filling-in

7:34 am

bfsog

bah i need help - ar 5,10. at 7,28. en 4,4. er 4,4. ol 4,4

7:34 am

Scrabbler

I am an idiot too, so I like his list as well.

7:34 am

periwinkle

anyone have a clue for the last 8

7:34 am

Scrabbler

he Eva

7:34 am

mrpresident

uniq! so do I... I have a life and being able to finish in a short time is my dream!! so I use lickety!

7:34 am

johnnyrocket

What is BJ's.. i don't see anything there like that. I see lickets though

7:34 am

Scrabbler

I mean HI Eva

7:35 am

Uniquity

I have never finished a grid without Lickety's...I think maybe he should start charging for bab. expert! Lol...that would be bad, as I can't even get pro yet

7:35 am

Scrabbler

I need re8 then.

7:35 am

Aloyisius

ar + *** Brown and his band of reknown... (for those of you old enough)...

7:36 am

periwinkle

re8 someone who tells a story, pl

7:36 am

Uniquity

BJ's is a link inside Babblers Anonymous (in general, i believe)

7:36 am

Aloyisius

pl of re7.28, Scrabbler

7:36 am

mrpresident

Lickety would get so cross at me when he would leave for work and I would start babble.... he would get home and I am still on babble.... so he developed babblexpert.
I am happy :)) he is happy :)) we all are happy :))
He has his washing done :))

7:36 am

periwinkle

Aloy I am probably old enough but I don't get your clue

7:37 am

periwinkle

I love this game but don't like to spend all day sitting at the computer

7:37 am

Aloyisius

ar + more or ***s

7:37 am

Uniquity

MrP, when you put it like that, This list is the sweetest gift anyone could EVER make for a babbler!

7:37 am

mrpresident

so peri, do you use babblexpert??

7:38 am

Uniquity

I like being ABLE to come back adn chat if I want, but being able to finish in a reasonable time is important.

7:38 am

mrpresident

thanks aloy :)) lovely to see you too

7:38 am

periwinkle

of course I do mrp, almost every day, don't know what I would do without it

7:38 am

bfsog

7:38 am

mrpresident

yes uniq. this is the way I like it :))

7:39 am

periwinkle

Aloy does the last 8 start with ar, I am confused

7:39 am

Uniquity

I rarely even both closing babble expert...it is a staple on my lappy

7:39 am

mrpresident

peri is awesome :)))

7:40 am

Uniquity

**bother. Sigh

7:40 am

Aloyisius

peri, i was just saying that re8 is a pl of the word before it

7:40 am

periwinkle

7:40 am

EvaNadine

7:41 am

periwinkle

7:41 am

featherbee

yay! daniel kept the first popsicle down for an hour

7:41 am

Uniquity

Yay feather! Progress!

7:42 am

Uniquity

My Dad is a big fan of the popsicles when you're sick. It is nearly a comfort food for me now

7:42 am

mrpresident

oh darlings! I would love to stay, but it is beddie bye time!
Love to you all.... btw....

my real illness comfort food is chocolate mousse, strangely enough. The one time I've been really really ill, the only thing I could keep down for about a week was chilled choco mousse. NO idea why. But ever since, its the one thing I like eating when ill

7:43 am

AsGreen

tx aloy - it's the babble expert that helps for me!!

7:44 am

Scrabbler

Congrats to asg, and to Daniel.

7:44 am

Uniquity

Congrats asgreen!

7:44 am

Uniquity

And Ata - I think that would push me over the edge to puking, something I do only once every few years.

7:44 am

Scrabbler

I LOVE chocolate mousse/pudding/ice cream!!! Those are my comfort foods.

7:44 am

AsGreen

bf did you get it? it rhyms w/what you store something cremated in

7:44 am

Anniebrook

yay for asgreen...my comfort food as a child and still is, is mashed pototoes

7:45 am

And TY for re8--I found it.

7:45 am

at 6,18? the latter

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, Annie.

7:45 am

Atalante

I agree, Uni! I have *no* idea why it seems to work with me!! It just *does*

7:45 am

Scrabbler

I had been starting with the wrong re for a while. Village idiot here.

7:45 am

periwinkle

HI Ata

7:45 am

johnnyrocket

at 7?? any hints?

7:45 am

AsGreen

at + past tense of rip

7:45 am

Uniquity

Well, at least it's something yummy! Maybe it's the texture? So smooth, which seems to be the key.

7:46 am

AsGreen

pl of the one above that I just clued

7:46 am

johnnyrocket

atrap

7:46 am

johnnyrocket

im confused

7:46 am

Uniquity

I have not been able to drink milk since I was 7 years old and someone gave it to me when I was sick to make me get over it faster...I don't get the logic, but milk is just GROSS ever since.

7:46 am

Atalante

oh yes, maybe ... but I've never been able to have chocolate mousse as a proper dessert since then! I just so much associate it with illness

7:47 am

Scrabbler

I am like that with Mexican food, Uni--I ate it the night of my gall stone attack when I turned jaundiced and went o the hospital.

7:47 am

Scrabbler

at + to4, johnny

7:47 am

AsGreen

at 6 is at+ meaning for past tense of rip, at7 is that, plural

7:47 am

johnnyrocket

duh.. thanks so much. i guess you stare at it too long, you miss the obvious

7:48 am

AsGreen

son is still home sick - I'm going to snuggle w/him - be back to clue later!

7:48 am

Scrabbler

72 left for tonight, but it iwll be late. I work 11-6 then have a dental cleaning/check-up from 7-8.

7:48 am

rip as in rest in peace?

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the day everyone!

7:49 am

AsGreen

no, as in to4 :)

7:49 am

Why the black icon nb?

8:47 am

funny you should ask

8:47 am

it started out as a commentary on the nihlistic futility of it all rather than a failed attempt to upload a cool photo

8:48 am

today, it is my feelings toward the holidays- at the moment

8:48 am

Uniquity

Well, life is always better when you are making a statment! Bad day?

8:49 am

nbjasmine

chaotic, tense, and tired (i haven't been sleeping well)

8:49 am

Oooh, that definitely adds an element of stress. Perhaps you should go attempt a nap rather than babble

I hope things get better for you though!

It amazes me the risks people take when out - like jumping out from side streets

9:55 am

cathy22w

That would be cars jumping out, not people... lol ;-)

9:56 am

cathy22w

mkg... I have no idea

9:57 am

Minveryork

I'm worried about my hubby because he had to go to New Jersey today for work. It will take him FOREVER to get home tonight & he'll be in a bad mood when he gets home.Bad weather & traffic really pisses him off

10:37 am

Dorens

yup, same here min.. would have been a good day for 300+ grid

10:38 am

lbdawger

no new snow here. but it's cold! 14Â°F

10:38 am

Minveryork

Yes it would have been.I have one word left and I am saving it for later or 'til someone clues. Refuse to ask

10:39 am

harpjane

do we have any babblers from the north american midwest? i wonder if the power is back on in Oklahoma?

10:39 am

Dorens

ouch, lbd. stay inside. and min, I know what you mean, I've done that sometimes on tiny grids

10:39 am

Minveryork

I am supposed to get 6 to 10 inches here in New York

10:39 am

harpjane

how much snow do you have minver?

10:40 am

Minveryork

We probably have a few inches so far,but it is falling fast and steadily. It has been since 9:30 this morning

10:41 am

Minveryork

I keep hearing the plows going up and down my road.

10:41 am

Dorens

yes, it is a very heavy fast snow here... started as hail for a few noisy minutes, then settled down into big fluffy flakes

10:41 am

harpjane

we don't have snow days unless it gets so bad that the parking lots are all too full of snow....the last time our state gov shut down because of the weather was 1989.

10:42 am

harpjane

before that it was the mt st helen's eruption in 1981

10:42 am

harpjane

or was it 1980?

10:42 am

Minveryork

I see that you are from New Jersey.That's where my husband had to travel to for work today.But he is on his way home now. It'll take him forever to get home!

harpjane

at least it was right!

10:43 am

Minveryork

Hello johnnyrocket!How are you?Welcome to the grid

10:43 am

Dorens

our school is in a regional district for high school, so if the high school won't send out buses, they close even our district, which is two neighborhood k-8 schools and the kdis would have no problem getting there. I sort of wish we didn't close school

10:44 am

Minveryork

Even the schools don't have any snow days harpjane?

10:44 am

harpjane

actually, we did have a partial snow day a few weeks ago, because the power was out

10:45 am

Minveryork

I do not mind snow days being that I am a teacher. I don't like it though when we have too many&have to make up the days in the summer. That happens a lot.

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone!

10:45 am

Minveryork

So I would call that a power outage half day harpjane

10:45 am

Dorens

that's my concern too, min... which is why I don't think they should close for four inches

10:45 am

Dorens

owl! long time no see

10:45 am

Minveryork

Hi 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

10:46 am

harpjane

the kids don't like it because they have to make it up on a saturday during good weather....

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

gee doren, i was thinking the same! how are you?

10:47 am

Dorens

I'm good... home due to the snow, feeling lazy and still in pj's.

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

bad enough for that, then? although tit seems to me they close for every little storm anymore

10:49 am

Minveryork

They could NEVER make teachers here come to work on a Saturday! The union would not allow that Dorens

10:50 am

Minveryork

I just got dressed myself not very long ago Dorens. I am even still wearing my work clothes today. LOL! :)

10:51 am

Minveryork

They could NEVER make teachers here come to work on a Saturday!The union wouldn't allow that harpjane

10:51 am

Minveryork

I meant for that post to be for harpjane, not Dorens

10:51 am

Dorens

i will be wearing warm and comfy sweats.... not going anywhere today, if no school, why bother going out

10:52 am

harpjane

is the re7 a common word? is it to do something or other again?

10:52 am

Dorens

i know the drive home would have been hairy, but honestly I think we could have handled it. And I knew that min! our union wouldn't either!

10:52 am

lbdawger

Our schools have built in snowdays, so there are some leeways for the weather. but it takes a lot of nasty weather for the districts to use them

10:52 am

Dorens

anagram the guy who sells houses, harp

10:53 am

lbdawger

Harp, Min gave a great clue for me, another spelling of one who sells houses

10:53 am

Dorens

we have four built in, but at this rate, we will probably use them up before march

10:53 am

harpjane

thanks.....

10:53 am

Minveryork

I already had my clothes out ready to wear today. I thought it would bbe easier to wear them and throw them in hamper than to put them back in the closet.

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

my niece & nephew alread get out right before July 4!!! we were always out by mid june

10:55 am

Minveryork

Yes, we go until the end of June every year & every year people are shocked at how late I always get out

10:55 am

lbdawger

they are so rarely used here; snowdays... infact, i think it was last year or the year before that the district gave a "snowday" just to use up the leave time. the funny part is, the next week really was a nasty wintery day and they had to make up the day in June!

10:56 am

lbdawger

Min, when does your school year Start?

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

i think so much time off during the school yearis bad for kids - meaning extended breaks.

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

hey dawg!

we get wed/thurs/fri around thanksgiving, then a week+ for christmas this year. it all depends on what day christmas lands on. then a week in february, which i HATE, i'd actually rather have school then, and also a chunk of days around easter.

11:03 am

Dorens

oh I like the week in february... if i can get to a warm climate for that week... my bones get a chance to thaw out

11:03 am

caitlyn

Afternoon all........I wont yell at you feather I think its nice to do that while kiddies are asleep

11:03 am

featherbee

for a K teacher, february is the busiest month...groundhog's day, president's day, chinese new year, valentine's day, 100th day, healthy heart month, teeth month....it's so hard to get everything in, and now they've put a week's break in there. augh!

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

11:04 am

featherbee

12:46 pm

Minveryork

I don't think mine will change his mind, but we'll see.I know I'm not getting any younger. If we do we need to do it soon,but need to work out some things first.

12:47 pm

Chris P

I can imagine it would make a big change to your life. We've got quite selfish now and are used to doing what we want, when we want. Plus we like to travel, which would have been difficult with sprogs.

12:48 pm

Minveryork

Yes, we are quite selfish too with our time. We don't like to travel, but we are selfish with our time. I like to sleep late and I cannot imagine getting up at 6:00.

12:55 pm

Chris P

it's gone quiet - have we scared everyone away with our slightly anti children talk?

12:57 pm

diem

nope

12:57 pm

Niamh

still here

12:57 pm

Minveryork

I think we were the only 2 people here when we first started talking. I was wrong, diem & Niamh are here.

1:00 pm

1:05 pm

Chris P

Minveryork

Goodbye Chris P! Thanks for the chat. See you later!

1:05 pm

Mom

Oh Min, that is a bunch of snow.

1:05 pm

Mom

you all are probably more equiped to handle it though

1:07 pm

Minveryork

I'm hoping for another day off tomorrow, but I think that is wishful thinking.It is a fast moving storm and will be gone by tonight. I will take my time getting to work tomorrow.I will get there whenever I get there

1:08 pm

stidmama

hello all -- my computer is being mean...

1:08 pm

Mom

good idea, Min. No job is worth having an accident for

1:08 pm

stidmama

but YAY for the finishers (and for Min's day off)

1:08 pm

Mom

{{Stid}} hello

1:08 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

1:08 pm

Niamh

well send it to a time out then stid!

1:09 pm

Minveryork

Is that why I haven't seen you due to puter problems

1:09 pm

stidmama

I would, but I really want to finish. got to 49 last night without the list, now have list in hand, ready to go!

1:09 pm

Minveryork

I am here to help with clues if you need any stidmama

1:10 pm

stidmama

thanks Min -- I probably will...

1:10 pm

Niamh

maybe if you just kick it a little?

1:12 pm

stidmama

rofl... ah! if only! *grin* I DO have the extended warranty... *looks sternly at computer* so it's not that far-fetched an idea!

1:13 pm

stidmama

there we are, down to 31...

1:14 pm

Niamh

I work in IT, I'm a professional puter kicker!

1:14 pm

stidmama

RA 6 please?

1:15 pm

Minveryork

ra 6/18 is rodent + cross letter plus not off stidmama

1:15 pm

stidmama

Niamh -- I wish I had the ability to keep more than one thought in my brain, IT work fascinates me. But I last the "stick-to-it-ive-ness" that is necessary.

1:15 pm

stidmama

thanks Min!

1:16 pm

Minveryork

yw

1:16 pm

stidmama

I had tried the standard spanish (only one cross letter) a million times...

1:16 pm

stidmama

under 20. ;-)

1:17 pm

Niamh

I look at it like a puzzle that needs to be figured out, I love puzzles

1:17 pm

stidmama

okay, this RE 7 has me flummoxed. Tried it last night, no luck. It's my last R combo...

1:17 pm

stidmama

does it build off another word?

1:18 pm

Minveryork

re 7/28 is anagram of one who sells houses stidmama.

1:18 pm

stidmama

thanks Min *thinking*

1:18 pm

Inge2

the re7 is like the person who sells houses, just switch the positions of two letters

1:18 pm

stidmama

got it!!! (great clue)

1:18 pm

Minveryork

re8/40 is plural of the re 7/28 word I just clued for U

1:18 pm

stidmama

Rs removed...

1:18 pm

stidmama

hi inge2!

1:18 pm

stidmama

8 to go.

1:18 pm

Minveryork

Hello inge2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

1:19 pm

Inge2

Uneaixoise

1:22 pm

Mom

Hi Une

1:22 pm

Minveryork

I'm in the same boat inge2!Today's a snow day for me

1:22 pm

stidmama

Niamh -- do you like sudoku? My Tom and the elder boy do, their minds work right to make it fun for them. I find it tedious... but they are both great at IT work. very detail-oriented. :-)

1:22 pm

Uneaixoise

hi, mom!

1:22 pm

Minveryork

Hello Uneaixoise! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

1:22 pm

periwinkle

Hello all

1:22 pm

Niamh

I do sudoku, yes

1:22 pm

Mom

Hi Peri

1:22 pm

stidmama

hi peri! how are you? did you get any responses from that ad you placed?

1:22 pm

Uneaixoise

hey peri :-)

1:23 pm

Minveryork

Hi periwinkle!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

1:23 pm

Niamh

not so much online... I like to scribble

1:23 pm

Inge2

hi peri

1:23 pm

periwinkle

the only response I got so far was from another magazine asking if I wanted to place an ad at a much higher cost, I said no thanks

1:23 pm

periwinkle

no response re the error in the ad

1:23 pm

stidmama

I like shape or color sudoku better than numbers. Even though it ought to be the same principles, my mind "sees" graphics easier than numbers.

1:24 pm

periwinkle

never heard of shape or color sudoku, I would like that better than numbers

1:24 pm

stidmama

wow, that's too bad. But I will keep thinking positive thoughts about it and hope someone calls.

1:24 pm

Niamh

I like them all, my very favorite puzzles are cryptograms

1:25 pm

periwinkle

I have done two loads of laundry and vacummed the living/dining area and hallway, whew!

1:25 pm

stidmama

I used to do cryptograms, not sure why I stopped. I'll blame it on the kids... ;-)

1:25 pm

periwinkle

I am now addicted to Noggin on facebook

1:25 pm

periwinkle

thanks so much stidmama

1:25 pm

Niamh

blaming kids for stuff is why we have kids isn't it?

1:26 pm

stidmama

wow peri! way to go! I spent two hours binding the cookbooks a middle school class has put together... and got the dishes done and some laundry in. THEN I finished the grid

1:26 pm

periwinkle

don't have kids and blaming the cat is not quite the same

1:26 pm

Minveryork

I LOVE Cryptograms!I used to do them all of the time

1:27 pm

periwinkle

I rarely clean, I absolutely HATE doing housework but my cat refuses to do anything at all

1:27 pm

stidmama

Noggin is fun, too. But I have been enjoying the children's wii this week... except for Babble that's where my spare time has gone.

1:27 pm

Mom

our morning paper has Crytoquips, which I do each day

1:27 pm

Mom

isn't that fun, Stid?

1:27 pm

Minveryork

Only thing I accomplished today was decorating tree

1:27 pm

stidmama

oh I dunno... blaming cats is something my dogs excel at.

1:27 pm

Mom

that is an accomplishment, Min

1:27 pm

Mom

You all are way ahead of me. I am having a lazy day today

1:28 pm

stidmama

Min, that's actually a good accomplishment. Our tree this year is mostly red and white. Stidkid#2 and I did it this year. Left off a whole bunch of other ornaments.

1:28 pm

Minveryork

Took me a long time because I was distracted by log.

1:28 pm

stidmama

lazy day... what I had hoped for (the kids are out of school next week), but not what I am getting. That's okay.

1:28 pm

stidmama

I'll have a lazy day next month.

1:28 pm

periwinkle

welll I am off to play noggin, see you later or tomorrow

1:28 pm

Mom

bye Peri

1:28 pm

stidmama

later peri! {{{hugs}}}

1:29 pm

Minveryork

I could use some of the ornaments stidmama.My tree looks bare.I just finished and realized it looked bare.

1:29 pm

Mom

it is the first day I have gotten to stay home. I will get a second wind here soon. (I hope)

1:29 pm

Minveryork

I had lazy weekend last weekend and lazy day today.

1:30 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye periwinkle!I will see you tomorrow in the log

1:30 pm

Mom

lazy days are good, only thing is I tend to beat up on myself for taking them when there is so many other things I could be doing

1:30 pm

Minveryork

If I am off again tomorrow I'll go buy more ornaments

1:31 pm

Minveryork

Not me,my hubby does a good enough job doing that.

1:31 pm

Mom

now that is a plan, Min

1:31 pm

Mom

beating up on you for taking a lazy day?

1:31 pm

Minveryork

For example, if he comes home to see me babbling on my day off he will ask me why I didn't clean the house

1:32 pm

Mom

did you tell him cleaning house is over rated?

1:33 pm

Minveryork

My hubby believes that I spend too much time on the computer & not enough time on the house. He's right

1:33 pm

Minveryork

LOL Mom!

5:18 pm

Minveryork

Yes, my husband wants a dog, but I do not want one.

5:18 pm

snags

You know, if you don't want kids, that is your business and no one should pressure you.

5:21 pm

Congrats Dorens! I just finished too :)

7:08 pm

Dorens

eil, it helps to open lickety in a separate window if you can

7:08 pm

angelinaxox

right click on lickety and open in a different window

7:08 pm

eilmar

and how are the points scored per word?

7:08 pm

featherbee

eilmar, do you use tabs? do lickety on one tab, babble on the other. or, you can open a separate browser window, and resize them both to fit on the screen. finally, you can email lickety and ask for the babble expert browser, which will let you do lots of fun stuff.

7:08 pm

angelinaxox

7:49 pm

herinfernallady

From Grannys Profile

7:49 pm

Krista

From what Saphyre said, Babble gave her a lot of pleasure in her final days. That should be a comfort to know you could do that just by being there.

7:49 pm

herinfernallady

grannymaxx is a 64-year-old female from Waldorf MD in the United States.

Love my husband of 36 years, my two sons, my 2 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. I also have a terrier mix named Jaxon. Love to read (voraciously), work jig-saw puzzles, and cross word puzzles!!! Love to try new recipes.
Right now I'm going thru chemo treatments but instead of "pity party", thanks to my friend Saphyre I do "babble parties"!!!!

7:49 pm

Krista

Poor darth.

doxy1lover

I live in a town that doesn't plow the snow off the roads. can get very bad.

8:22 pm

kthdsn

Minveryork

How can they not plow the roads? Is there no money?

8:23 pm

LadyNatts

8:23 pm

Jacula

8:25 pm

Ping

help with re 7 and 8 please?

8:25 pm

LadyNatts

LOL, doxy, if it were just cold, I could probably keep it, if I could... it's the fluctuations that cause the snow that are a pain

8:26 pm

doxy1lover

Our highs have been in the 20's all week. too cold for me, can't move south yet.

8:26 pm

doxy1lover

Jacula

Ping - someone who tells stories... it rhymes with the more usual na8 word for that. re8 is the plural.

8:26 pm

kthdsn

I don't mind the cold (unless it drops to -20 or so) but I can't stand snow lol

8:26 pm

LadyNatts

featherbee

8:27 pm

LadyNatts

I love the snow so long as I don't have to shovel it or drive in it... even driving is not that bad... if there is no-one else on the road

8:27 pm

Ping

8:30 pm

LadyNatts

Well, if you don't... it's because the first sign of The Plague (The Black Death) was sneezing.:(

8:31 pm

Minveryork

I saw that word in the puzzle today as well Ping.LOL!

8:32 pm

LadyNatts

any requests for clues before I go put away laundry and shovel the driveway and change the cat litter?

8:32 pm

Jacula

The old nursery rhyme 'Ring o ring o roses, a pocket full of posies, Atishoo! Atishoo! We all fall down...' was about the plague.

8:32 pm

herinfernallady

(Sprays the room with Glen 20 and hands Jac a surgical mask) :P

8:33 pm

LadyNatts

Yes, I've heard that, Jacula

Min - I've been a bit busy with the Christmas newsletter. Now it's all written the printer's playing up! I've got 20 out and posted but still 17 to do. However, the paper's sticking (probably due to moisture absorbed from the air) so I'll give up on that for tonight.

8:35 pm

Ping

fireworks

8:35 pm

evanonut

i think the sneeze blessing came from suspicions that the sneezer would be susceptible to evil spirits after the sneeze, so they blessed them.

8:35 pm

LadyNatts

wtg ping!

8:35 pm

Minveryork

"ring around the rosies, pockets full of posies. Ashes ashes we all fall down!"

Hi, nut. I left you a 'poo' game link on Babblecast messages the other night. It was only the next day that I realised it might have been offensive to you, since it involved catching pig poo in a basket. Sorry!

8:47 pm

Jacula

Herin - I opened the first card just after Mum and I got home from shopping. I rang Mum immediately to tell her of our friend's death. As we spoke about him I opened the next card... that was from an old neighbour from where we used to live... her hubby had died. 'I'm scared to open the next card!' I told my Mum. 'It'll be okay,' she said. 'Open it!' I did, and that told me that one of a dear old couple in their 80s I've known for some 15 years had died.

8:48 pm

Jacula

Ren - granny and dilly? OMG!

8:48 pm

renfield

yes ma'am

8:49 pm

Jacula

My Christmas news letter reports that I'm sad to have lost 3 people off my Christmas card list (and that didn't include the sadness about both your parents and Fran's sister)... then I find out 3 more of more friends have gone, then you tell me 2 Babblers have gone. Life stinks sometimes!

9:04 pm

Jacula

Terry Pratchett has just announced that, at 59, he's been diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimer's Disease. So, that'd be the one my Dad had which is called 'Lewy Bodies Disease'. Terry doesn't want anyone to be less than cheerful either.

9:05 pm

Jacula

Herin - not so much for me... but for many of the families of my friends, yes.

9:06 pm

Jacula

ren - Do you want me to lob a can of odour neutraliser over to you?

9:08 pm

Jacula

Is he a fat cowman, ren?

9:08 pm

9:12 pm

Jacula

I've never actually read any Terry P books yet. The only reason being that I always have about 200 books in hand on my shelves to read. His huge world sagas need to be read in order, I believe, and so, though I do have a couple of books of his people have given me, I've not yet read them.

9:12 pm

timhorton

ren - is 'otis' a short way of saying outsize titis? LOL

9:15 pm

GreyWoulf

There are distinct blocks that are sequential in nature, but for the most part, the blocks are not interdependent upon the others

9:15 pm

Jacula

Happy 40th anniversary to your parent, herin.

9:15 pm

9:17 pm

timhorton

9:17 pm

GreyWoulf

I haven't read the carpet people yet, but they are separate -- I think they are a trilogy of their own

9:17 pm

herinfernallady

I need to find something for them I was trying to get my dad to buy mum something

9:17 pm

timhorton

i enjoyed the weird sisters books and interesting times

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

My personal favorite Discworld book is Reaper Man -- it is the second of the block of books revolving around Death

9:19 pm

9:22 pm

timhorton

if that is true i will be sooooo happy

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

My biggest problem with the Wheel of Time universe is that his characters are too bloody thick in the head at times --- they seem to not be able to might simple jumps in logic that would save them a lot of wasted time

9:22 pm

renfield

later herin

9:23 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - but isn't that true of many people in real life?

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

You are welcome, Jac

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- yes, it is true in real life, but then you aren'

9:23 pm

GreyWoulf

oops

9:24 pm

timhorton

you are right grey

9:24 pm

GreyWoulf

then you aren't forced t read through hundreds of pages of watching them be blind to the obvious

9:24 pm

timhorton

but character are more believeable if very flawed

9:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no serong -- okay, how do you spell that? LOL

9:25 pm

kthdsn

apparently I'm missing at6/7 can anyone clue that please?

9:25 pm

Jacula

But, Wolfie, you are, in a way, in real life when you watch friends making the same mistakes over and over again, etc.

9:25 pm

GreyWoulf

I don't know about very very flawed, tim -- flawed, yes, but very flawed can be very tiresome at times

9:25 pm

Jacula

GreyWoulf

The world of the the Wheel of time is a very interesting one, tim -- and I found his treatment of magic to be different enough to be quite fascinating

9:26 pm

Jacula

You can yell at the book, Wolfie. *Looks around, suddenly embarrassed, 'Or is that just me that does that?'*

9:27 pm

timhorton

9:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wtg kth~~~!!!

9:33 pm

Jacula

Yes, Gwen. I don't have any siblings but that does decribe my first best friend before she had her adenoids cauterised. Henry VIII (if he really did write the song) must've written 'Greensleeves' just for her. She always wiped the nose candles off on her cardigan sleeves.

9:34 pm

harpjane

lol jac, may i quote you on the origins of Greensleeves?

9:34 pm

Jacula

Oh dear! I hear the sound of community puking. Sorry folks! ROFLOL.

9:37 pm

Jacula

Okay, darth.

9:49 pm

darthdude

I hope that is all cleared up now jacula...^_^

9:49 pm

timhorton

jac it seems the same idea as the facebook one

9:51 pm

Jacula

I haven't really gone into Facebook too much, tim, as I don;t like all the intrusions it want you to 'allow'. You can have discussions on goodreads though,. Failing that, MrP did set up a booksite for Babblers, I think.

9:52 pm

darthdude

I read...But I don't think we all read the same kind of books....

9:53 pm

Jacula

Well, darth - that's the whole point. We don't all read the same kind of books but we get the chance to introduce others to books we've enjoyed. I've certainly bought quite a few books I might otherwise not have known about through Babblers' recommendations.

9:53 pm

darthdude

At least I don't....(is scared he is offeneding people....-due to very long silences)

9:54 pm

I don't have a babble t-shirt because the shipping cost to UK is more then the price of it.

9:56 pm

darthdude

9:56 pm

darthdude

9:56 pm

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

you can select/copy the list of words you have here, and paste it into the "bulk add" box at the bottom of lickety's page

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

and then go looking for the word you're missing--it'll tell you the first 2 letters, and you'll have an idea of where to go from there, because you know where it is alphabetically in relation to the other words

10:53 pm

crpw48

either have two windows open and just flip between them, or have 2 tabs, depending on the browser you're using.

11:34 pm

Just1Mar
