3:41 am

Haz1558

Andree, change your last vowel on la5, the woodworking thing for a y.

3:42 am

Haz1558

Yes, that Lori one is giving clues with vital details missing. You'd think she was trying to confuse us or something.

Haz1558

Back later. Re the baby powder controversy, I don't know anybody who uses it as a verb, but if you do use it as a verb then it would look really strange to add an extra letter just to make the pronounciation 'right'. English and pronounciation rules are notoriously illogical. Bye!

yesterday's was the bass player, sprite?

5:21 am

elder

Hello Kje and Bye KIm.

5:21 am

sprite

if you keep the same order, it should be the same, elder. Yesterday's was the man with the bass... it is impossible to play the bass and sing.

5:21 am

kje

hi all - just popping back in... had to get some coffee (and cookies, but they are healthy! really!)

5:22 am

sprite

wb kje

5:22 am

elder

I try to keep to the order Sprite , but not being dated I may be wrong will check later..

5:23 am

sprite

did you like it, kje?

5:23 am

kje

it was OK, sprite... not my favorite so far... couldn't hear the bass!

5:24 am

sprite

too bad. Bass was great. And I loved this vid, might be my personal favorite :) Ah well, tastes differ.

5:24 am

kje

was that too honest - LOL?

5:24 am

sprite

never too honest. I like honest.

5:25 am

kje

it may have just been my computer, but I could hear him quite well, but even after turning my volume to max, I couldn't hear the bas... and I really like that bluesy base sound, so was disappointed

5:25 am

kje

bass - oops

5:25 am

P.J.

GM kje

5:26 am

kje

hi PJ

5:26 am

sprite

oh yes, that bass sound was an important part of the vid. In some places he was singing with it, in perfect harmony, sooo cool.

5:26 am

kje

OK, clearly I did not get that part

5:27 am

P.J.

is it base? :)

5:27 am

kje

but overall, I have liked the month of sprite so far

5:27 am

kje

it is bass

5:27 am

sprite

lots more to come ;)

5:28 am

kje

WTF is the we?

5:28 am

sprite

actually, it is bass and sounds like base. English... impossible language.

5:29 am

sprite

5:37 am

elder

Actually thinking about it I have trouble with all languages .. ::)))

5:37 am

kje

8:19 am

Haz1558

8:19 am

Haz1558

Anniebrook

Hi Hazel!

Scrabbler

It is not just you, Hazel.

8:20 am

Anniebrook

Haz, I would love to be there when you do let it rip

Haz1558

Someday we should do it.

8:21 am

Haz1558

I've always said that my chosen 'Let it rip' name would be HerDarkSide, but I'll have to choose another to preserve my incognito.

8:21 am

Atalante

HerRatherAnnoyedSide?

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi Uni

8:22 am

Anniebrook

Haz, COP as in Chief of Police for a moniker

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

hi uni!

8:22 am

lexleeanne

if your name were herdarkside someone would guess it was a family member

8:22 am

Anniebrook

I like Ata's better

8:22 am

Haz1558

It would have to be something where YOU''d know it was me, but not the person/people I'm letting rip about.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Do you remember on which day the snottiness occurred? i would like to review the chat.

8:22 am

Atalante

hi viiii111iiii1!!!1

8:24 am

Anniebrook

Hi Vicuna

8:24 am

Haz1558

It was righteous indignation on TO's part, misconstrued as snottiness by others.

8:24 am

Uniquity

Ah. I was thinking more of a particular brand of snottiness that crops up on a regular basis. Would have been glad to miss some of those incidents in the past.

8:24 am

Haz1558

Hello Vicuna!

8:24 am

lexleeanne

8:26 am

Anniebrook

Starting to beg....may I have a clue for ch 6/24?

8:26 am

Vicuna

lol, TO!

8:26 am

Haz1558

TO - they have failed to take my advice on board 'Don't google, just goggle'.

8:26 am

Atalante

ch6 - rhymes with Give me hope, goanna

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL yes. the font.

8:26 am

Krysten

good morning all! is it a good grid today?

8:26 am

Vicuna

Anything that provides too much stimulation, eh TO? Even if mental.

8:27 am

crosshair

grid is evil kry

8:27 am

Haz1558

I think some babblers think that googling is cheating or something.

8:27 am

Uniquity

Babble is not for learning. Don't be fooled.

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

haz, don't you mean that the other way round?

8:27 am

Haz1558

Hello Krysten, it's an interesting grid today.

8:27 am

crosshair

interesting? lol thats one way to put it

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

hi krys. hop ei have not missed any comings or goings

8:28 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, TO. You win today's prize for observation.

8:28 am

Anniebrook

Thanks Ata..

8:28 am

Haz1558

Don't goggle, just google is the way it should be.

8:28 am

Uniquity

I loathe this grid.

8:28 am

Haz1558

In the presence of Ata, my smug levels can't reach dizzying heights, but I did this without a list today.

8:29 am

Haz1558

I will sign autographs later.

8:29 am

lexleeanne

8:29 am

Atalante

and without your favourite web site?

8:29 am

Haz1558

Please.

8:29 am

Vicuna

I thought Haz had gone over to the dark side for a moment there. She was goign to start throwing around hump letters and third vowels at any second!

8:29 am

Krysten

i was hoping for a very big, very time consuming grid today to keep me busy...slow day at work!

8:29 am

72 Temple Owl

hahahahahahhahahahah

8:29 am

Uniquity

No zoot suit riot? Or have I spelled it wrong.

8:30 am

Haz1558

You'll know I've been taken over by a lower power if I EVER use hump letters.

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

close, uni.

8:30 am

Vicuna

You've spelled it correctly. It's another one of those Enable mysteries.

8:30 am

Atalante

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i do them every day if at work without list. now that bj is gone. i wish i could tell him how much i enjoyed his list.

8:31 am

Vicuna

Okay, that's just bizarre! lol

8:31 am

lexleeanne

make it a adjective and it works

8:31 am

crosshair

add a sometimes vowel:)

8:31 am

Atalante

same here, TO

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

adjective? that doesn't help me lexlee

8:32 am

Uniquity

Well. What a word.

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

8:32 am

Vicuna

TO? Have YOU gone to the dark side now? Help!!!

8:32 am

EspritdJean

8:32 am

Atalante

8:32 am

Uniquity

8:33 am

Uniquity

Oh dear, we are being snotty intellectuals/elitists now. Oh,poo. I meant "6th". Makes it more accurate to have errors?

8:33 am

Atalante

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

It gives you a new respect for those cretins, doesn't it.

8:36 am

CadFan

Vicuna

Me, catty? I'm a vicuna.

Forces of rage, that should be.

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

no. not a word. in fact most days the quotes are drivel.

8:38 am

Vicuna

Exactly, Ata. I'm just a quiet, mild-mannered cud-chewer, with an occasional kick.

8:38 am

Haz1558

Much like some babblers contributions to chat, then.

8:38 am

lexleeanne

but that kick is all powerful

8:38 am

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

aw we were just having fun

Uniquity

But no offense can be taken. I took offense one time and the drama stayed for days. I know better now.

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

NO NEVER!

8:50 am

crosshair

8:50 am

lexleeanne

boobs - that word not used by ladies

8:50 am

Haz1558

Don't mention the b word. Atalante is genetically programmed to mention Jordan if you do.

8:50 am

Krysten

lol, eva!

8:50 am

Uniquity

Sarcasm font, pah. Learning experiences, I say! *With old British man voice*

8:50 am

Atalante

8:50 am

EvaNadine

8:50 am

Haz1558

Why not?

8:50 am

Uniquity

No no, we can't talk about boobies or we'll end up with me in Montreal (place, NOT person!) in fishnets. It's happened before.

8:50 am

Vicuna

Decorum is for horses, courtesy is for men, gentility is for ladies. Get it right, FM!

8:50 am

Judi

AROOOOOOO! Did someone say full moon?

8:51 am

EvaNadine

apparently im no lady, so no decorum is expected from me!

8:51 am

GreyWoulf

BOY -- the log has changed since the last time I was here!!

8:51 am

Atalante

oh how classy, eva!

8:51 am

Uniquity

Jordan...This is the orange fiend with the huge "breasts", yes?

8:51 am

Haz1558

Good gracious. GreyWoulf!

8:51 am

FMitch

GreyWoulf!!!!! Helllo hun hows you and yours?

8:51 am

Vicuna

GreyWoulf, weren't there naked people int he hottub with champers when you were around before?

8:51 am

Haz1558

That is she, indeed. She wants 7 children and another wedding according to the front of this week's trashy mags.

8:52 am

Atalante

you've been looking??

8:52 am

GreyWoulf

Hey folks 8-D

I am playing hooky from work today so I finally get to see how my day friends are doing

8:52 am

Uniquity

Hey, I'm halfway! Ugh. 7 children. Does she have the mental capacity to care for one? We already know shewon't be nursing!

8:52 am

Haz1558

At the headlines only.

That's great, lexleeanne. Because II've discovered that these words aren't finding themselves.

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

i have been lving under a rock..who is jordan?

8:53 am

FMitch

It has been an age GreyWoulf

8:53 am

Haz1558

We're doing fine, Grey Woulf.

8:53 am

GreyWoulf

I just told Sebastian that I was talking to people on the log and he shouted "Hello, people" at the monitor!!

8:53 am

lexleeanne

no kidding and no one is clueing for lurkers

8:53 am

Haz1558

I love it when someone asks Who is Jordan? It proves she hasn't achieved world domination.

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

oh too cute

8:54 am

lexleeanne

Hey sebastian

8:54 am

Haz1558

Hello Sebastian!

8:54 am

Uniquity

Clues don't appear unless requested! Too easy otherwise.

8:54 am

Vicuna

* in voice of reason* But they have to stop lurking if they want to ask for clues.

8:54 am

FMitch

How old is he now woulf?

8:54 am

EvaNadine

TO -- think along the lines of the british pam anderson....but with less class.

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

quick! i am going out tonight and it might come up in conversation

8:54 am

Uniquity

Haz- I used to NOTknowwho Jordan is. You and Ata ended that.

8:54 am

Vicuna

Jordan is nothing over here, Haz. I would never have heard of her if it weren't for Babble.

8:54 am

Haz1558

There have been unhappy times, Uniquity when people published long lists of non-requested clues...

8:54 am

lexleeanne

I know - but no one is asking...I have become pretty shy about asking

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh ty evaN that's low.

8:55 am

Uniquity

Hey,Pammie is a right nice Canadian who supports good causes sometimes!

8:55 am

EvaNadine

low, yet true.

8:55 am

GreyWoulf

he is 2 1/2 and his almost 5 year old sister is standing next to me reading the log and proofreading my entries -- she says hello too

8:55 am

FMitch

What a blessed live you life Vi to be Jordan free

8:55 am

Haz1558

I'm so pleased Jordan is unknown in places. I wish I knew nothing about her as well.

8:55 am

Uniquity

I have seen these lists. I don't believe in clues unless requested. Keeps us honest!

8:55 am

lexleeanne

Who is Jordan?

8:55 am

Atalante

at least you know of the great Victoria Beckham, style icon

8:55 am

kje

never heard of Jordan

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

ok peeps i have gvien up on finishing now, must fre up phone alth i would love to saty.

8:55 am

FMitch

My how time flies, I remember when he was born.

8:55 am

Haz1558

Hello to Sebastian's sister - remind me of her name?

8:56 am

Vicuna

Former Spice Girls we do know of here.

8:56 am

GreyWoulf

Kristianna

8:56 am

Uniquity

Nobody tell who Jordan is!! Keep it a shameful secret.

8:56 am

EvaNadine

yes, here in the states, we are gleefully jordan-free

8:56 am

Haz1558

A shame, TO. See you again!

8:56 am

Allo junior babblers!!

8:57 am

GreyWoulf

so long TO\

8:57 am

Atalante

8:57 am

crosshair

im in same boat mark

8:57 am

Anniebrook

last word, help! ho 5/16, hope it is not fishy

8:57 am

EvaNadine

posh may be a walking bobblehead, but she DOES have a great haircut. :)

8:57 am

GreyWoulf

more than me, mark -- I have a lowly 18 currently

8:57 am

Vicuna

Hello, markbowers.

8:57 am

Haz1558

ho5/16 - is fishy, remember adverbs?

8:57 am

GreyWoulf

whoops -- my math is off -- I am beating you by one

8:58 am

Vicuna

* reminding myself to investigate Ms Beckham's haircut some time*

8:58 am

lexleeanne

hamke ho4 a adjective

8:58 am

kje

ho*** and the blowfish

8:58 am

Uniquity

I'm more concerned about the increasing population of Pussycat Dolls rather than former Spice Girls.

8:58 am

EvaNadine

i took her pictures to my hairdresser + i got compliments on my hair every day!

8:58 am

lexleeanne

make ho4 an adjective

8:58 am

Anniebrook

Yikes, pass the flounder....thank you Haz, Firewords

8:58 am

Vicuna

ISn't Hamke a Dutch supermodel or something? lol

8:59 am

Haz1558

It's not an adjective, it's an adverb.

8:59 am

FMitch

Congrats Annie!!!

8:59 am

Vicuna

Yay for Annieb!

8:59 am

lexleeanne

SUPER cartwheeilies for anniebrook!!!!

8:59 am

EvaNadine

8:59 am

lexleeanne

it was a ho5 owl

8:59 am

kje

nope, adjective

8:59 am

Vicuna

(Will that TO *never* really go? She's getting as bad as Montreal's faux poofs.)

9:00 am

kje

or maybe both - it is a dumb word

9:00 am

Anniebrook

Thanks all

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

* sheepish grin* yes i am today! just glad to see the gang i guess

9:00 am

Haz1558

9:01 am

EvaNadine

got em -- thanks!

9:01 am

Anniebrook

Actually, BABBLE.....horrendous lack of sleep

9:01 am

72 Temple Owl

non :(

9:01 am

GreyWoulf

not much of a choice at times, Annie -- on some of the nastier grids, babble can seem more like work

9:02 am

Anniebrook

Hi woulf, your mom was here yesterday

9:02 am

EvaNadine

hows about the Y word? or the bottom A?

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I am back---I had Cheerios with fresh blueberries for my breakfast, on the back deck looking at my flowers.

9:03 am

GreyWoulf

it is rather annoying at times, Annie - I introduce my mom to some of my favorite hobbies and she ends up doing them more than me!

9:03 am

Anniebrook

Evan, not behind for the A

9:03 am

Haz1558

ya4/7 - to rhyme with those who are not hirsute.

9:03 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, GW

9:03 am

Scrabbler

TY, Hazel. Nice clue.

9:04 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

9:04 am

Anniebrook

woulf, Happens all the time, my son in law introduced me to Babble. I am addicted and he is not

9:04 am

72 Temple Owl

ok really going by----ee

9:04 am

crosshair

tc to:)

9:04 am

GreyWoulf

Scrabbler, it is true!! I love to play various roleplaying games... Shadowrun being on of my particular faves -- I introduced my mom to the game and she ended up playing more regular games than me

9:04 am

Haz1558

Bye TO!

9:04 am

EvaNadine

thanks all!
that puts me just one word past the halfway mark :)

9:04 am

Vicuna

Call me gullible, but.... Bye, TO!

9:05 am

markbowers7

to work now..cya all later...maybe

9:05 am

Haz1558

Bye mark.

9:05 am

Vicuna

Bye, markbowers.

9:05 am

GreyWoulf

Then I introduced her to my friends in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) and she joins and becomes an active participant!

9:06 am

crosshair

its nice that you are filling her life with fun hobbies:)))

9:06 am

Vicuna

Clearly the tree didn't fall far from the apple, GreyWoulf.

9:06 am

hootowl

Yes I did! Morning woulf. Why you on now? There are advantages to be retired you know! hahahahaha

9:06 am

GreyWoulf

And now, I gave her Babble Pro status for Mother's Day last year and she get to play everyday and I am lucky if I am on once a week

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Hootowl!! Were your ears ringing?

9:07 am

hootowl

Pure chance! Hi scrab

9:07 am

FMitch

Oh dear I think the PB is about to fill up fast!

9:07 am

GreyWoulf

Hi mom!! -- I am playing hooky from work today cos I need a sanity day -- {{**HUG**}}

9:08 am

hootowl

Clint says hi woulf

9:08 am

bichon

Scrab, how is your back today?

9:08 am

GreyWoulf

HI back to him, and everyone else says HI too

9:08 am

crosshair

hoot,was in our local used book emporium getting a novel for my son.asked about your bread book,no luck sorry

9:08 am

EvaNadine

havent we declared before that if a grid word is someones username, we let that one slide for the day.... ?

9:08 am

hootowl

Understand entirely! Did it myself. Usually drove out to east end. No crowds during the week

9:09 am

Scrabbler

The pain is mild, but I am concerned about the muscle weakness and the numbness = evidence that the nerve is affected. I will reluctantly see a MD next week--spine specialist.

9:09 am

Haz1558

I'll have to look that one up in the Laws of Engliand, EvaN.

9:09 am

GreyWoulf

I knew I forgot something --{{{{*****HUGS*****}}}} for everyone else too!1

9:09 am

FMitch

Oh makes sense EvaN

9:09 am

hootowl

Thanks cross. I appreciate the try.

9:10 am

Vicuna

Since when has sense been invoked in Babble chat?

9:10 am

Scrabbler

Please let us know your ruling, Hazel, Chief Of Babble Police.

9:10 am

FMitch

Doh of course, how easily I slide. sigh.

9:11 am

GreyWoulf

(non)sense is more the norm

9:11 am

Haz1558

Well, on the basis of Fmitch's feeling that it makes sense, then I suppose we should let it pass. This does not mean that others many not feel a sense of superiority in using first and second letter and number values if they wish.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Nonsense is what makes the chat fun.

9:11 am

FMitch

*shudder* imagine if it were sensible in here all the time!

9:11 am

lexleeanne

y clue?

9:12 am

Haz1558

ya- to rhyme with a description of one whose head is shaved

9:12 am

lexleeanne

thanks haz

9:12 am

Vicuna

Haz to PB!

9:12 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

9:13 am

lexleeanne

oh yeah he4 is a WORD

9:13 am

Haz1558

Dear goodness.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

**chugging along to almost halfway**

9:13 am

Haz1558

That'll teach me to give clues.

9:13 am

bichon

Good luck at the spine specialist. Something similar happened to my husband, but he was in severe pain

9:13 am

crosshair

i just have fun and use what works when cluing.im a real fan of elmer fudd speak when cluing:)) wabbit season;)

9:13 am

lexleeanne

no thanks so much haz

9:14 am

Vicuna

No it won't, thank goodness.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

My pain WAS severe last week but improved Sunday.

9:14 am

hootowl

Didn't realize I was in here again. Usually try not to come on then and remove the temptation

9:15 am

Anniebrook

I am entering my other world, bye, dear babblers! Hope your back improves, Scrabbler

9:15 am

lexleeanne

**goes to fully stock the pB in appreciation for good clues**

9:15 am

Haz1558

Bye Annie!

9:15 am

crosshair

sorry scrabbs wasnt following all that.you have herniated disk??

9:15 am

FMitch

Bye Annie

9:15 am

bichon

My husband ended up having a couple of steroid shots, then he got slowly better. Took a long time for the appointment with the spine specialist to happen

9:16 am

Vicuna

Bye, Annieb!

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Nope, it is not behaving like a disc, crosshair. It is sacroiliac joint inflammation irritating the L4 nerve.

9:17 am

crosshair

i had 3 go in my neck while using one of those damned nordic trach sit up machines:/

9:17 am

crosshair

track

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Well, I hope it is just the SI joint and not something dreadful. I know too much.

9:18 am

crosshair

with that do you get that painful pulling sensation?

9:18 am

crosshair

thats the problem with drs as patients,they know every possible horror that we cant even think of:/

9:18 am

Scrabbler

I have had a herniated disc in the past and this is different--not painful with sitting/coughing/sneezing.

9:19 am

GreyWoulf

I think I have just created a small monster -- I just gave Seb my camera to try to take some pictures and he is chasing the cats

9:19 am

Scrabbler

My mother is on the phone telling me about the ozone alert for the day and that I shouldn't go kayaking.

9:20 am

GreyWoulf

The most amusing part is that the camera is old so there is about a one second delay between pressing the button and the picture actually being taken so he keeps getting pics of the floor

9:20 am

EvaNadine

its a code red air quality day today, here in the DC area

9:20 am

lexleeanne

bbl

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Crosshair--I have no pain when sitting or kayaking. Pain is worst when lying down and trying to sleep.

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, GW

9:21 am

crosshair

mmm,hit that kyak today then.you dont know what may happen tommorow:)

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Yes, crosshair, I am waiting for my friend to call but my mother will talk at me for a while.

9:22 am

bichon

Does sleep position make it worse. Sleeping with my hands tucked under my chin makes my carpal tunnel worse

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Lying down is painful--was brutal last week.

9:23 am

GreyWoulf

Now it is Kristianna's turn --

9:23 am

crosshair

dont forget to use a body pillow between the legs at night scrabbs

9:23 am

Scrabbler

I have done that, with my hip and knee flexed.

9:23 am

crosshair

helps align the spine

9:23 am

9:30 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! town in west-central PA

9:30 am

GreyWoulf

It pays to play hooky every now and then!

9:31 am

GreyWoulf

hi hurshy -- how are you doing? I haven't seen you in months

9:31 am

lbdawger

it's been almost forever!

9:32 am

hurshy

i'm ok except for computer frustration.

9:33 am

GreyWoulf

I know -- work is such an annoying necessity at times!

9:34 am

GreyWoulf

so what have you been up to, lbd -- me, I work way too much -- sleep too little -- and don't get to play anything as much as I want to these days -- but at least we are all healthy, clothed, and well fed

9:36 am

lbdawger

Working at the bookstore. crazy hours...so it's like you, work, sleep, work, sleep...slip in babble as often as possible. :-) how're the kids?

9:36 am

Robo-bonobo

we5/22?

9:37 am

Robo-bonobo

never mind, found it :)

9:37 am

hurshy

rhymes with actress jessica h**** who played susan on friends

9:37 am

hurshy

zo4 i have - other Z?

9:38 am

Robo-bonobo

like an adjective describing a swing band front man's suit

9:38 am

EvaNadine

ZO5

9:38 am

Robo-bonobo

he5/18? last word

9:38 am

GreyWoulf

Kids are healthy and rambunctious -- reality check time -- for those who don't remember -- Seb is now 2 1/2, Kristianna will be 5 in just under a month

9:38 am

hurshy

thanks robobonobo and eva

9:39 am

lbdawger

I can't believe the kids are that old! I remember when Seb was just thinking about walking!

9:39 am

hurshy

i remember when he was born!

9:39 am

hurshy

seems like only the other day.

9:40 am

GreyWoulf

And they are book lovers all the way!

Right now - Kristianna and I are reading chapters from Dr Doolittle each night before bed

9:40 am

lbdawger

yeah for the early book lovers! good for business, Woulf! lol

9:40 am

hurshy

he + y***! this food tastes disgusting!

9:40 am

godthaab

FINISHED! VERY EXCELLENT!

9:41 am

GreyWoulf

Believe me -- the time has indeed flown -- but some things don't change -- Buddy boy is still the mountaineer that he was before he started walking

9:41 am

hurshy

are there any cy words?

9:42 am

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo godthaab

9:42 am

lbdawger

9:42 am

hurshy

9:42 am

hurshy

bbiab

9:43 am

lbdawger

need to put up some sturdy netting to ca5 that boy!

9:44 am

lbdawger

finito!!

9:45 am

GreyWoulf

thanks for the word -- but I think I will just keep the floor covered in stuffed animals instead -- it costs about the same, but then I don't have to do any major repairs when we leave the apartment

9:46 am

GreyWoulf

Yayyy for lbd!! -- I have just passed halfway myself

9:46 am

lbdawger

short but kinda tricky grid, today. yah, the stuffed animals does work nicely.

9:48 am

GreyWoulf

definitely tricky for a person who doesn't get to play more than one or two times per fortnight

9:53 am

lbdawger

let the monkeys take over, that's how i found several of the odd ones. lol

9:53 am

GreyWoulf

OK -- the kids have given me as much solo time as they can right now -- I will be back this evening -- I am getting the apartment to myself for a few hours tonight and wil be back then

9:54 am

lbdawger

excellent, Woulf, hope to see you this evening!

12:25 pm

joshuavorbis

martin luther was what i was referring to

12:26 pm

Lindrickway

I know what it means!! lol

12:26 pm

missbeeze

you don't know if you can?

12:26 pm

squrell2

this is the only online game i have ever purchased and its worth it to me

12:26 pm

missbeeze

i can guide you through it

12:26 pm

Lindrickway

yeah me too squrell

12:26 pm

missbeeze

it is def worth it? why wouldn't you pay for it Ml? it is for life?

12:26 pm

angelinaxox

12:26 pm

MLFAN17

miss i already explained that

12:27 pm

missbeeze

we are all on your side ML - you mean cuz your computer?

12:27 pm

missbeeze

i didn't understand all that tech lingo

12:27 pm

MLFAN17

well iif i cant get expert i have a feeling pro wont be any different

12:28 pm

Atalante

you could try using a different browser

12:28 pm

MLFAN17

i am on firefox and it doesnt give me everything i am supposed to have with expert

12:28 pm

MLFAN17

ata IE doesnt work with this internet service or area i guess so i cant use that

12:28 pm

Atalante

I think you have to twiddle expert, email lickety and explain what you havent got

12:28 pm

missbeeze

i have pro and i don't have expert and i love it...everything works same as before i went pro...

12:29 pm

joshuavorbis

why would your internet service or area have anything to do with whether IE works or not

12:29 pm

Atalante

there are a bazillion browsers out there

12:29 pm

missbeeze

only thing pro gives you is the same you have now...you just get an icon and the stats come back for you

12:29 pm

MLFAN17

i mean i am thrilled to have list next to me but didnt know what eolse i was supposed to have with it. however when i first come on to this page the links above tha are supposed to be that yellow/orange color are but it doesnt stay

12:29 pm

missbeeze

the tile stats that you lose or lost after 14 days and your fireworks.

12:29 pm

Atalante

lol i agree josh

12:30 pm

MLFAN17

josh maybe its my internet service.. i didnt say it made sense did i??lol

12:30 pm

Atalante

ask lickety. send him a screen shot

12:31 pm

missbeeze

Pro works just the same as what you have, disregard everything about expert - that is separate. Pro is just babble, only the things that went away after 14 days come back and you have an icon and get your fireworks and tile stats - plus you support babble

12:31 pm

joshuavorbis

i don't think it's actually possible for your internet service in itself to cause any internet browser to not work. maybe there are settings in your IE that are screwed up - an impenetrable firewall or something

12:31 pm

MLFAN17

i have spoken to lickety about it already if you dont have IE wont work

12:31 pm

missbeeze

i haven't even tried expert - i actually print lickety's list!

12:31 pm

MLFAN17

CY 5 clue please

12:32 pm

MLFAN17

missbeeze why do you waste so much paper???

12:32 pm

Atalante

well there you go. it's obviously not important or else lickety would make it work for all

12:32 pm

missbeeze

cy + ba*** twirler

12:32 pm

angelinaxox

cy + 2000 pounds

12:32 pm

MLFAN17

ty angel

12:32 pm

MLFAN17

beats me ata

12:32 pm

Atalante

it's obviously not important or else lickety would make it work for all

12:33 pm

missbeeze

i didn't realize that i had an option until today ML - when ya'll told me!

12:33 pm

Atalante

I don't see one thing working only in IE as a failure of the thing

12:33 pm

missbeeze

i didn't know expert could make the grid on my screen

12:33 pm

MLFAN17

Yikes missbee lol

12:33 pm

MLFAN17

ata if you pay for something you want ti to work in its entireity

12:34 pm

Atalante

MLF, knowing about expert is not expected for people who have been here 3 days

12:34 pm

Atalante

but you DON'T PAY for expert

12:34 pm

hurshy

nobody pays for lickety...

12:34 pm

missbeeze

i know! i'm excited about it! and you should go pro because it is not related to expert working.

12:34 pm

MLFAN17

i dont mind typing things in more then once but if that is something shoudlnt have to do and i have expert i should be able to but cant

12:34 pm

Atalante

ty smurshy!

12:34 pm

missbeeze

Thanks Ata!

12:34 pm

MLFAN17

missbee yeah i know you can have oen without the other

12:34 pm

MLFAN17

hurshy you pay for pro

12:35 pm

missbeeze

The pro only makes your tile stats come back and your fireworks that you lose after 14 day trial and give you the icon instead of shadow head

12:35 pm

Atalante

MLF, you shouldn't *expect* to be able to anything more than use a babble grid. anything else is up to lickety. he could take away expert tomorrow

12:35 pm

sadie52

yea all done

12:35 pm

hurshy

yes, but lickety is not pro, and you can use it without being pro, as far as i am aware.

12:35 pm

EvaNadine

as a Web QA person, something designed to work in one browser doesnt always automatically work in other browsers -- they often need additional work. so if it was designed in IE, it wont necessarily work in Firefox -- or even a different version of IE.

12:35 pm

Lindrickway

12:35 pm

jacq

yup

12:40 pm

hurshy

what percent of your diet do you think can be made up of macaroni and cheese - real, not kraft - before it becomes unhealthy?

12:41 pm

Atalante

99%

12:41 pm

hurshy

that's higher than i expected. good to know.

12:42 pm

jacq

i know a girl who eats nothing but pasta and mayo

12:42 pm

hurshy

ewwwww

12:42 pm

jacq

she seems healthy enough

12:42 pm

Atalante

the 1% can be veg / fruit. then you have veg, protein, fat and carbs!

12:42 pm

missbeeze

99% before being unhealthy? don't you realize Ata that hursh is wishing for a high number to justify his eating more mac and cheese?

12:42 pm

joshuavorbis

i thought only hawks ate only eggs

12:42 pm

Atalante

yeah, I got through my PhD living on spaghetti with cheese

12:42 pm

hurshy

"seems" being the operative word

12:43 pm

Atalante

her, missb ;)

12:43 pm

joshuavorbis

i'm getting through my master's eating ravioli and drinking IPA

12:43 pm

missbeeze

12:45 pm

Atalante

hurshy is all woman. I can verify that

12:45 pm

bichon

hurshy, name of a private prep swchool in Manhattan

12:45 pm

missbeeze

i know hursh, but you don't have a pink person, and maybe it's subliminal, but your icon is a man, i know it is obama, so when i glance, i see a man

12:45 pm

hurshy

jeez ata, that makes it sound sketchy

12:45 pm

Atalante

lol I know :P

12:58 pm

joshuavorbis

fmitch - i have never been beaten in 1-on-1 on the 5X5 grid in the scramble game on facebook

It's got a funny tuft.

*refreshes*

1:13 pm

Atalante

and I'm doodling knotwork dragons ;)

1:13 pm

Vicuna

*giggles*

1:13 pm

Atalante

that one, on the other hand, seems impossibly difficult to understand

1:14 pm

Haz1558

I was tempted to use John Prescott for ho7 but thought others might not know him. Also I don't think I'd want to look at him...

1:14 pm

Vicuna

Now now, jacq. No need for such cynicism!

1:14 pm

Atalante

ewwwww no!

1:14 pm

Vicuna

Or at least when you're wiping, leave me!

1:15 pm

Haz1558

A good call, then? Leave John Prescott be?

1:15 pm

Atalante

very good call

1:15 pm

Haz1558

If only Tracey Temple had taken that advice.

1:15 pm

FMitch

Oh yes!

1:15 pm

Atalante

bet she wouldn't have understood the difference between pro and expert

1:16 pm

Haz1558

Not when her head was turned by the silver-tongued charmer from Hull.

1:16 pm

Atalante

*splutters*

1:16 pm

Haz1558

Sarcastic font.

1:17 pm

Atalante

just the *thought* of - actually, I'm not going any further

1:17 pm

Atalante

Vi, do you know who John Prescott is?

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Nope. I'm goggling and failing to google.

1:17 pm

Haz1558

No, it's one of those situations that really doesn't bear thinking about.

1:18 pm

Vicuna

But I can rectify that.

1:18 pm

Atalante

look up John Prescott labour politician

1:18 pm

Atalante

and see the beauty for yourself!

1:18 pm

jacq

sorry, i thought i was being realistic, apart from chimps man is the only beast to kill for reasons other than survival

1:19 pm

jacq

John Prescott, politicianm more famous for having affairs and having sex wearing a chelsea fc shirt

1:19 pm

Haz1558

As a rule of thumb, with Labour politicians, the more unattractive the man, the more likely he is to have had women festooned around him. It's one of the great conundrums of the age.

1:19 pm

jacq

power is a great aphrodisiac

1:19 pm

Atalante

the only person worse could be Robin Cook

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Who says Babble isn't educational!

1:19 pm

jacq

that and cheap wine

1:19 pm

Haz1558

Get your politicians right. Chelsea man was David Mellor, a Tory!

1:19 pm

jacq

didn't he also have affairs

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Actually, orcas apparently do, too, jacq.

1:19 pm

jacq

ahhhhhhhhhhh knew it was some corrupt overpaid idiot

1:20 pm

Haz1558

Robin Cook was a huge surprise. David Blunkett, as well.

1:20 pm

Atalante

I think Robin Cook was possibly the worst. At least David Blunkett wouldn't know you were busy reading at the same tine

1:20 pm

Atalante

*time

1:20 pm

jacq

they think the orca's do it because the sonar gets confused because bottle nosed dolhins from the bay here have done it with porpoises, and again they thing the layout of the bay gets the sonar messed up, so it might be classed as survival

1:21 pm

Haz1558

Ata!

1:21 pm

Atalante

orcas just like chewing on sealions

1:21 pm

jacq

LOL Ata nice one

1:21 pm

Vicuna

No, it's playing with sealions for fun. Like cats playing with mice, too, for that matter.

1:21 pm

jacq

sealions make great dental floss, i'm sure i read that in Orca's daily news

1:21 pm

Atalante

sorry *promises not to make blunkett jokes again. for a while*

1:22 pm

FMitch

Am going to love and leave you, my back has been playing me up this week and I need to strech or something.
Happy Babbling and see you soon

1:22 pm

Haz1558

Don't worry, I laughed.

1:22 pm

jacq

bye FM

1:22 pm

Haz1558

Don't stretch too much! You're tall enough already!

1:22 pm

Atalante

*grins* it's impossiblenot to!

1:22 pm

Vicuna

Sorry to hear that, FM. I hope it feels better. (hugs) Bye!

1:25 pm

Vicuna

missbeeze

1:37 pm

joshuavorbis

1:37 pm

icepyro

You get fireworks after you find all the words in the grid sue1965. If this is your first grid, then it's not a good one to start with. But I can help you with clues.

nDanLia

Aussie, good news; I had stroke due to viral inflammation in my nid-30s; did extensive probing since I'd never smoked or used pill; quick recovery, though over a year for all visible wobbles to go; advise good physical therapy & parafin wax wraps on limbs
