No. I work in AZ for a couple of months every year. Not snow birding, really, dart, just work.
2:04 am
herinfernallady
Moon are you a dirty rotten snow hound?
2:04 am
moonwoof
That happens to coincide with snow season =)
2:04 am
dart001
what do you do down there moon?
2:04 am
moonwoof
I sell the stuff I make. I work at the renaissance festival.
2:05 am
dart001

2:05 am
moonwoof
Yup. We're here, too.
2:05 am

2:06 am
herinfernallady
So you like the snow or not Moon?
2:07 am
moonwoof
Actually, I dont do one in NM... I dont know if there's one there or not...
2:07 am
moonwoof
The snow? Sure, sometimes. Like everything, there are both good and bad things about it.
2:08 am
dart001
think there is...but it's kinda small compared to the one here
2:08 am
moonwoof
Most are, Dart. The one here, is currently the second largest in the country.
2:08 am
dart001
the snow is ok if you dont have to shovel it or drive thru it
2:08 am
herinfernallady
My b.fs cousin follows the snow as he is a rabid skying
2:09 am
moonwoof
Ok, you're right there is, but it's Tiny. It's a little 2 day thing.

2:10 am

2:10 am
moonwoof
You've been to the one, here, then. You like it?
2:11 am
moonwoof
It says it's in La Cruces...
2:11 am
dart001
we usually go every year....like it....were they having problems retaining the grounds in the future...thought i heard someone mention that
2:11 am
moonwoof
It is. I like being self employed, for the most part. I have a pretty good bos...
2:12 am
moonwoof
There's some discussion going on about it. I haven't heard anything final about the site. It's a long story, but I would be surprised if it ever moved far.
2:15 am
moonwoof
This year it just sounds like they're talking about moving the parking lot.
2:15 am
dart001
its a big lot
2:15 am
herinfernallady
Moon sounds like fun do you have a website?
2:16 am
moonwoof
Sadly, we don't lady. Our stuff is hand made, and we've agreed that it's busy enuf for us business-wise to just do fairs, right now.
2:16 am
dart001
what kind of things do you make?
2:17 am
herinfernallady
Do you have pics i can look at please?
2:17 am
moonwoof
It is a big lot. But (and I've heard Lots of versions of this) if they cut the size in half and moved that half toward the back and added more shuttles, they could start mining out front, etc.
2:18 am
moonwoof
At MN our booth is a quarter of the size of our booths at other fairs, so in MN we only carry leather clothing.
2:18 am
moonwoof
Hmmm. I'll have to look Lady. If I do, not many.
2:19 am
dart001
make the actual festival grounds bigger by shrinking the lot....or maybe im misunderstanding what mining out the front means
2:19 am
moonwoof
I've only been online for like what, 3 weeks now? I'm still kinda getting used to this stuff.
2:20 am
moonwoof
The fairsite is in a rock quarry, dart. It's sitting on top of literally 100s of thousands of dollars worth of ore. They want to physically mine it.
2:20 am
dart001
aaaah gotcha now :)
2:20 am
moonwoof
They dont want to shrink the lot, just relocate parts of it, so they can mine.
2:21 am
dart001
didnt know that....basically down in the river bottom almost
2:22 am
moonwoof
That's mostly what the whole debate centers around. Well *I* can hope they dont go that far down lol
2:22 am
moonwoof
Our booth there is already on top of a sink hole =P
2:23 am
dart001
same spot for booth every year?
2:23 am
herinfernallady

you're right herin. that's why i try to be very patient with her. but mum still treats us all as if we are teenagers or younger. she can be downright nasty at times, and we're supposed to grin and bear it. my bro's just flatly refuse to call her at all, so the contact is left to myself and the eldest of the bro;'s. it can be exhausting, and at the moment my darling mother-in-law is going thru a very frail stage.
4:41 am

What would we do without our monkeys?
5:57 am
icepyro
I managed to get into the 30s without looking at licketys site but now Ive resorted to guessing =/
5:57 am
sprite
we would never finish a grid, Scrabs
5:57 am
sprite
I found 38 so far, no list, no clues. Qu5 a few babblets though.
5:57 am
Scrabbler
Yes, we all do that, then succumb and get the list. Then we look at the list and our missing words seem so obvious.
5:58 am
icepyro
well since ive only babbled 4 puzzles counting this one, i was rather proud of that
5:59 am
sprite
I usually play without a list, but I come from the times when there were no lists at all.
6:00 am
icepyro
I usually only hit the list one the last few that I just cant figure out because they are usually spellings that are non american
6:00 am
Scrabbler
You will improve quickly, icepyro, and if you play other word games or do crossword puzzles your performance will improve in those areas as well. And, best of all, you can impress your friends with your inceased word power.
6:01 am
Merk
na 5 clue please
6:01 am
sprite
then you will find very soon you can do without lists, icepyro, you will start to remember the odd words soon enough!
6:02 am
Merk
Oh, there are three p tiles today. I need coffee, I think.
6:02 am

*pours Merk a nice hot strong cuppa*
6:02 am
Scrabbler
I have to check e-mail. BBS
6:03 am
Merk
Thank you so much, Sprite. I envy you your experience. You are so quick with these grids.
6:05 am
sprite
comes from making grids without even knowing how many words it contained. Best we had back then was a list with only first letter stats and a total... and not that much clues in the chat either. That really helps build a vocabulary and a way of spotting combinations in the grids that signal words.
6:06 am
SaddySolar
hey.. you guys any ideas on a present i can get for my husband...its our first wedding anniversary on the 14th
6:06 am
sprite
oh wow, Saddy, congrats!
6:07 am
Merk
Who makes the grids anyway?
6:07 am
NonoNanette
congrats Saddy,
may you have many more years together!
6:08 am
sprite
they are randomly made by a computer program, Merk, and then checked to see if they are not too small to be worthwile... grids without any words are thrown out, for instance.
6:08 am
sprite
Saddy, I have no idea... what does he like?
6:09 am
SaddySolar
err. me!
6:09 am
Merk
So who invented babble. I know lickety makes the list.
6:09 am

6:09 am

6:10 am

Merk, Babble is offered by james tibbett, or Dr_God as he likes to call himself here. Lickety's list is purely a service that Lickety offers us.
6:11 am
Merk
I have seen Dr_God here on rare occasion. I think we're on opposite sides of the world.
6:11 am
Merk
Does he play it himself?
6:12 am

you mean drG? Not often, I think... you could check the rankings... not sure he is even in them.

Well, he invented a wonderful game. I waste too much time on it, but I know it helps my brain, which is why I do it. I don't have much time to chat, but I love reading them and participating when I have time.

I never took Latin, but I've learned some of its quirks by doing the game. And I've always loved words and their origins.
6:15 am

plus it a quarter past 5 and i have to wrap up a few loose ends before i head home

Herin, for one, enabled me to keep going when I went to China. They censor so many websites.
6:16 am
Merk
Their filters are not adjusted for dictionaries and such.
6:16 am
Merk
censor? where did that come from? My coffeeless brain.
6:16 am
sprite
that is great, Merk
6:17 am
icepyro
whats weird to me is that I used to be pretty good at boggle and scrabble, but this thing kicks me... maybe cuz i do get more than 20 words, but even those 20 take longer than in a agame of boggle
6:18 am
sprite
it might be because Babble uses the (old) Enable dictionary, icepyro. It has some pretty weird valid words and omissions.
6:18 am
NonoNanette
and FIREWORKS!
6:18 am
sprite
wtg Nanette!
6:18 am

Yes, it does. And I cannot get Enable in China.

6:24 am
o-o
The ENABLE (Enhanced North American Benchmark LExicon) word list is a free, Public Domain word list upwardly compatible with the OSPD3® and MW10. It contains over 173,000 words, with no arbitrary limit on word length. It is a text file in standard ASCII format. At present, it is the most thoroughly researched and accurate reference list for club and tournament play, and it has become the unofficial de facto standard.
6:25 am
sprite
One of the many reasons I love BabbleRabble :)
Hi, good to see you!
6:25 am
o-o
See, we are using the de facto standard
6:25 am
o-o
Hello, sprite and all other babbling peoples
6:26 am
icepyro
now if only someone would go back and crossreference it to have definitions
6:26 am
icepyro
so I can find out what some of the words mean :)
6:26 am
sprite
small wonder I tend to have problems with that... I never seem to be able to work with the standard...
6:27 am
sprite
icepyro: that is what the questionmarks next to the found words are for... they usually give a def.
6:27 am
icepyro
keyword there... usually :)
6:27 am
o-o
yeah, those de facto standards need to be upgraded to de jure
6:28 am
sprite
if not, I always find www.infoplease.com a very informative site
6:28 am
icepyro
o0o0o0o may have to check that one out...
6:28 am
sprite
that would be great, except that it would make lots of babblets unvalid, BabbleRabble!
6:28 am
o-o
depends on who is making the law
6:29 am
sprite
hm, you have a point there. If it were us, we could vote to keep the old dear babblets valid :)
6:31 am
icepyro
sorry but if I have to guess a combination of letters because its not in the dictionary but is in the grid, thats almost silly to me
6:32 am
sprite
I love it to discover new (or very old) words that way.
6:33 am
Merk
Is ro 4,4 a babblet? Or am I totally blank this morning? Clue please.
6:33 am
icepyro
ok... how about words that are old spellings from other languages thus proving even harder to find a definition for
6:33 am
sprite
ro + first 2 letters of yearly, Merk?
6:34 am
sprite
I love those too, icepyro!
6:34 am
icepyro
its what ya call a horse or cow of a certain color
6:34 am
icepyro
sprite... your a rare one :)
6:34 am
Merk
I was blank. Thank you. I thought I had tried every combination and then it's such an easy word.
6:34 am
o-o
Some words that "are" real words will not be included in the Enable Dictionary, and other (sometimes "adult" or very strange) words you've never heard of will be there. It's all a part of the fun of Babble, so don't get stressed by it. Relax and just go with the flow and have fun.
6:36 am
sprite
cursing the enable dictionary is one of the many joys of babble, lol.
Icepyro: thank you.. I think :)
How about words like 'aroint' or 'aroynt'? Aren't they beautiful? Or 'ywis'?
6:37 am
icepyro
babble as long as I can find a definition then I can learn and recognize it as a word... when it doesnt make sense... well then I have other words to describe that feeling :)
6:38 am
icepyro
combinations of letters have no meaning... its when someone applies a meaning that the word gains power..
6:39 am
icepyro
wtg merk I think ive been arguing so much I havent got mine done yet :(
6:39 am
Scrabbler
I returned just in time for Merk's light show--yippee!
6:39 am
sprite
I feel it enriches my language to learn new words, or discover the root of known words, see how a word has developed in time, or how words from other languages relate to the ones I know.
6:39 am
sprite
well done Merk!
6:40 am
Scrabbler
I second that comment, Sprite!
6:41 am
Scrabbler
With 64 to go I sadly must get ready for work, although I would much rather stay in Babble Land.
6:41 am
sprite
and some words are just wonderful and should never have become obsolete... how about sonsie? Isn't it great to have one single word to describe: having an ample bosom?
6:41 am
sprite
*hugs Scrabbler on her way out*
6:41 am
Scrabbler
I never knew that meaning--my new middle name now!
6:42 am
Merk
I'm going to go shower now and then have my coffee. If the little ones wake up, I'll feed them breakfast. See you tomorrow. thanks for the help.
6:42 am
sprite
one of the babblets... and I love it :)
6:42 am
Scrabbler
((Sprite))
6:42 am
icepyro
my point sprite is finding meaning. If I can find meaning in a word, then that makes the game fun and worth playing. If I search for a word and every site goes 'did you mean... instead' it gets frustrating
6:42 am
sprite
also spelled sonsy, but I love the other version most.
6:42 am
o-o
just because a series of letters that a makes word has an unknown meaning to the babbler does not disqualify it from word status
6:43 am
Scrabbler
Life is all about finding meaning, isn't it?
6:43 am
Scrabbler
Hi & Bye BR!
6:43 am
o-o
have a good one, Scrabbler
6:43 am
icepyro
my frustration is not at the unknown word but at the inabilty to find a meaning
6:43 am
sprite
well, our ability to learn is infinite, icepyro... if wordlists don't know a word, I usually google or take my old dictionaries out, and then find the meaning. If it is listed, it must have been a valid word with meaning once!
6:44 am
sprite
it is, Scrabbler! *hug*
6:45 am
Fordy
i still hear sonsy used, sprite
6:45 am
Fordy
not about me though haha
6:45 am
sprite
oh, lovely, Fordy! LOL... well thanks for telling me it is not obsolete. I love the word.
6:45 am
icepyro
I can think of one word that I searched several dictionaries and google for and then finally someone gave me a link to a foreign wikipedia that had a definition
6:46 am
icepyro
wordlists do know the word but not the definition
6:46 am
o-o
ultimately, I am an ultracrepedarian or aeolist but the fun is in the doing
6:47 am
sprite
yup, things like that. I love those, icepyro. We have a few babblets that appear to be vowelless... until you realise that W can be a vowel. If nothing else, at least it broadens one's sense of what is possible.
6:48 am
sprite
and in the sharing :D
6:49 am
icepyro
I love this game because I am trying to expand my knowledge, but if I learn a word for the sole purpose of 'it might be in the game' and not what it means.. then I become frustrated
6:49 am
sprite
poor icepyro! Well, you will probably be frustatred often then here :)
6:51 am
icepyro
me give me enough time to hunt down meanings and ill be ok
6:52 am
sprite
or we'll help you find them... there is a lot of teamwork on Babble, usually. Lots of people who appreciate meanings!
6:52 am
icepyro
just wish the enable 'dictionary' was a real dictionary and not just wordlist so I could learn these words... thats all :)
6:52 am
Fordy
icepyro, i agree, if it's a word you're not going to see outside babble, what's the point?
6:52 am
sprite
you will, in time, promise!
6:53 am
o-o
you can download ENABLE ... google it
6:53 am
specificity
g'morning everyone
6:53 am
o-o
hello, specificity
6:54 am
jwr
Just before dawn -- the blackest hour. How to maintain equilibrium? babble, of course. Speaking of which, I came in on a discussion of Enable. Googled it but can't get to an actual list. Any suggestions?
6:57 am
o-o
go here, scroll down the page:http://personal.riverusers.com/~t
hegrendel/software.html
6:58 am
Fordy
oh dear. i have ground to a halt at 30 words.
6:59 am
o-o
you are cruising, Fordy
7:00 am
icepyro
and.... that gives you a dictionary in the sense of 'here is a list of words that i can look up ad see they are words' not 'i look up this word and get this definition
7:00 am
jwr
Aha! Babble Knows. ty. 2nd question (and last, I think): so many of the odd words turn out to be defined as acronyms. Are these allowed? (I thought Enable was an official Scrabble source and thus did not permit them -- assume they're not valid here either)
7:01 am
icepyro
they are usually not only just acronyms
7:02 am
sprite
usually they have a meaning outside their acronym form.
7:02 am
sprite
go for it, Fordy.
7:02 am
o-o
the only thing that matters is whether the word is accepted
7:03 am
jwr
that's a relief. I can accept not knowing the definition as long as I know there is one. This is a definition of Faith, I think.
7:03 am
o-o
toss logic to the wind
7:03 am
sprite
you might find some meanings, here, icepyro:
http://tinyurl.com/2rb9ft
7:04 am
icepyro
uh.. i disagree... I could make a word list that accepts a combination of letters.. that doesnt give it any authority or power.. I have much faith in many things, but the english language stretches that faith without adding more words with no meaning
7:05 am
o-o
the history of enable tells of gathering words from multiple sources ... many are obsolete ... you can choose to disagree --- won't change a thing
7:06 am
specificity
there is another good on-line dictionary - www.onelook.com - it searches numerous dictionaries at once
7:06 am
sprite
I love enable. If nothing else, it gives me something to nag about every day ;)
7:06 am
specificity
sorry
7:07 am
sprite
that one is valid, spec, though only when entered in the other box :D
7:07 am
icepyro
haha out of all the sites, I can still give one word that is not in any of them :)
7:07 am
specificity
=) that is why I rarely chat in here
7:07 am
icepyro
but was in a grid saturday
7:07 am
jwr
I'm taking Sprite's word on faith -- that "usually" the words have meanings. I am stretchhhhhhing that faith to include the rest of the vocabulary. This is what's known as Religion. Whew. Now that the philosophical fundamentals are covered, I guess I'd better get back to work on the grid.
7:08 am
sprite
lollllll jwr! Love your post :D
7:08 am
sprite
and spec, don't bother, it happens to all of us.
7:09 am
icepyro
actually when I do look back at the grid im finding words easier.. the distraction kinda resets my searching
7:09 am
o-o
being human is no sin in babbleland
7:10 am

which is, alas, kind of rare, BabbleRabble :)
7:11 am
sprite
yup, but great to have a few places where it isn't, isn't it?
7:11 am
o-o
I try to take the author's unknown to heart
7:12 am
jwr
Before I leave . . . there is another definition of "enabler" -- one who, with best intentions, provides support and encouragement to someone else's, uh, addictive behavior. grid grid grid grin (:
7:12 am

which always outranges the author's known... good thing to keep in mind, I agree.

Very much so! Yourself?
12:40 pm
Uniquity
Any more Manolos?
12:40 pm
Nancy Boy
Fantastic, thank you! I'll still not get over how odd it is to have a Christmas tree at one end of the room and a Buddhist altar at the other C:
12:41 pm
Nancy Boy
I wish, Uni ;) Unfortunately, my family aren't quite as open as my friends when it comes to high heels on their oldest son, LOL.
12:41 pm
Uniquity
I think that is a concept which would boggle the mind...Sounds intriguing
12:41 pm
Uniquity
(the tree/buddha thing)...not the heels, LOL
12:42 pm
Uniquity
Hey, if you're the oldest, they've got more "chances" for non high heel wearers...tell them to let you enjoy it ;)
12:43 pm
Nancy Boy
Lol! Well that's just the parents; mum gets her Buddhism; dad gets his Christianity...I get twice as many religious celebrations and skin the colour of very very milky coffee ;)
12:43 pm
Uniquity
That sounds like a good thing **ponders hwo to attain this for herself**

Nancy Boy, haven't seen you here in a while, is that you in your icon
12:45 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh Uni, I'll save the arguments over the heels and skirts until...well, after the new year at least!
And well, Uni, I find the quickest way to obtain it would be to become half-Korean!
Overnight, if you can :D
12:45 pm
Nancy Boy
Not likely, Peri! It's the gorrrgeous Brian Molko in my icon ;)
12:45 pm
periwinkle
ok, just wondering
12:46 pm
Uniquity
Hm. I have 3-4 parents and none of them are Korean, so I guess I am stuck
12:46 pm
Uniquity
Hey Peri!
12:46 pm
Nancy Boy
3-4, Uni? How'd you manage that one?
And more importantly...does that mean more presents on birthdays? :3
12:47 pm
Uniquity
You'd think so! But...no, lol
12:47 pm
Uniquity
Much more complicated holidays though!
12:48 pm
ItalianGreyhound
Need last 2 APs - any clues?

10:18 pm
tygerbryght
oh, I will, herin. I am really very cautious about all things related to my health
10:18 pm
meliae
I gave away all the candy and cookies today, bundled it all up and took it the old folks home up the street, lol
10:18 pm
tygerbryght

tygerbryght
I changed my icon today. I'm very sad about the tigress in California, and even more for the families of the young men
10:19 pm
herinfernallady
It was scared and it freaked out
10:20 pm
LadyNatts
only 6? you shouldn't go to bed after ep7.. what else do you need?
10:20 pm
tygerbryght
ep7 is a witch lemme work out a clue
10:20 pm
meliae
ep+not out+ 3vowels
10:21 pm
LadyNatts
people do not know how to deal with animals
10:21 pm
tygerbryght
ep + not out + 1st vowel + 4th vowel + telephone pole
10:21 pm
tygerbryght
according to a report on Reuters, they're investigating whether she was provoked
10:21 pm
tygerbryght
same tigress had attacked a keeper a year or so ago
10:21 pm
meliae
they have no clue how she got out, which is scary
10:21 pm
LadyNatts
I heard that
10:22 pm
tygerbryght
she may have been simply too fierce to be kept in a zoo (as opposed to other kinds of places)
10:22 pm
tygerbryght
but I'm sad all the same
10:23 pm
LadyNatts
It's always sad when an animal has to suffer because of humans...
10:23 pm
metaleather
sorry to go so quiet there, I am scrambling to get words into the grid...
10:23 pm
herinfernallady
TIgers and other wild animals that like to eat the tasty meat should be breed in big open wildlife parks not kept in shitty little cages. I really hate zoos. I like the big open roaming parks with the tall fences
10:23 pm
tygerbryght
rae, did you get the word?
10:23 pm
LadyNatts
She was shot by police, I heard
10:23 pm
tygerbryght

10:23 pm
metaleather
yes, miss Spot is spayed as is Rumor and the boys Data, Myth, Legend and Lore are all neutered
10:23 pm
tygerbryght
I agree with you, herin. I said as much in my new comments
10:24 pm
metaleather
thanks tyger, I'm going to give it a good try on my own first
10:24 pm
tygerbryght
yay, meta! my kind of woman! ;)
10:24 pm
meliae
yes, she charged the police who were trying to get her off the 3rd victim, and they shot her
10:24 pm
metaleather
hi herin... didn't mean not to acknowledge your greeting either
10:24 pm
tygerbryght
I used to breed show dogs, but I'm a strong adherent of spay/neuter of all others
10:24 pm
LadyNatts
sad. she was only doing what was instinctive
10:25 pm
tygerbryght
if there's no overwhelming reason to breed a particular animal (especially pets), they should be "fixed"
10:25 pm
tygerbryght
yes, natts, that's why I'm sad
10:25 pm
mrpresident
