flosey

taken last night sitting on my lap while babbling

12:40 am

jillibus

flosey

1:55 am

flosey

ain't it the truth Mar

1:55 am

Just1Mar

well my birthday just ended and that it my most favourite time of the year...

1:55 am

Hugabugs

I remember such a flurry over Y2K... now were heading into the last year of the 1st decade

1:55 am

rururocks

would someone clue the me 7?

1:56 am

Just1Mar

....when I know that it'll be another 364 days til the next one!

1:56 am

flosey

yes hugs, and look how long ago that was now!

1:56 am

Hugabugs

me7 - girl's name but with a cons ending

1:56 am

bfsog

i remember changing software to be "y2k compatible"

1:57 am

Just1Mar

that was such a scam, lol

1:57 am

Hugabugs

I was on the Y2K committee at work

1:58 am

Hugabugs

it wasn't actually a scam... most of the programs had just a 2 digit entry for the year and the default was 00

1:58 am

bfsog

well yeah, the whole thing was they used 2 digits to signify a year and they didnt know what would happen after 99 rolled over.

1:58 am

Birdeee

I don't get that me7 clue hug

1:59 am

Just1Mar

well I meant in the greater sense, with regards to power grids and financials, more or less on a worldwide scale

1:59 am

bfsog

the default was 00 but once its been changed the default is useless

1:59 am

Hugabugs

actress Ms Griffith - but change the last letter

1:59 am

melonheadjujube

I worked for Dept of Defense on Y2K. Mostly we did a lot of coding to replace 2position years with 4 positions. It was more tedium than anything.

1:59 am

rururocks

an 7 anyone?

1:59 am

Birdeee

thnx

1:59 am

flosey

Mar, son had to be at the bank all night for same reason,

2:01 am

Hugabugs

an7 - a condition that is caused by lack of iron in the blood

2:01 am

bfsog

similar thing happened a few weeks back, when the VAT in the UK dropped to 15% - I seen it on the news and thought yay easy money!

2:01 am

jillibus

ty hugs

2:01 am

o-o

an 7 -- alt spelling for iron poor blood

2:02 am

Just1Mar

flosey

2:03 am

rururocks

2:03 am

Hugabugs

but if no one had done any changes, what would have happened then? I think a lot of due diligence prevented anything from occurring

2:04 am

jillibus

hi babrab

2:04 am

flosey

for sure hugs

2:04 am

Just1Mar

I'm sure lots was done and was needed, but the scare tactics of the media was insane

2:04 am

bfsog

well the date wound go to 00 because it loses the most important digits, but then the dates on a lot of software would be incorrect/not formatted correctly

2:05 am

o-o

im 6 --- add a metal weight (gold): c**** spire on a mosque

2:05 am

melonheadjujube

We tested before and after re: Y2K - eyes the changes were necessary. The funniest thing I heard was a 105 year old being told to report to kindergarten - their birthday was 1895!

3:24 am

Birdeee

3:25 am

Birdeee

oh..... "hangs head"

3:25 am

lynxxx

nope

3:25 am

lynxxx

lol - but thanks - didn't have that one

3:26 am

Birdeee

do you have the spanish beach??? they put in that clue just for Just1Mar

3:28 am

lynxxx

3:28 am

Birdeee

I just found it - pl5/16

3:32 am

lynxxx

mmm a shallow lake in the desert in the US - Spanish beach-?

3:32 am

Birdeee

3:34 am

lynxxx

US types certainly know a lot of spanish - is that taught as a language in the schools over there?

3:34 am

Birdeee

ephermeral lake in desert I think is another way to describe it

3:35 am

Birdeee

yes and there are many spanish speaker at the school that I teach in now

3:37 am

Angelsong

hi, all. I'm up early due to a heavy cough associated with bronchitis...so here I am.

3:37 am

lynxxx

that explains why clues are often using spanish words - I never knew any sp. words till I started here

3:37 am

Birdeee

sorry you are sick but glad you are here

3:38 am

Angelsong

are there any writers among us? I have a list of free writing e books if anyone wants them, but they are time limited in that they will be taken down from the internet sometime today or tonight.

3:38 am

lynxxx

hi Angel, hope you get rid of that quickly

3:39 am

Birdeee

Lynxxx, my kids had Spanish in school from grades one through eight and then in high school they could choose - in the western part of the US spanish is very helpful. I did part of my midwifery training on the border with Mexico

3:39 am

lynxxx

You could ask Sprite when she comes on Angel

3:40 am

Angelsong

my husband brought me home from the doctor's office y'day, then he spent the next 3.5 to 4 hours at the pharmacy trying to get my medications. They were going to charge me over 200 dollars US for six prescriptions...but he eventually paid just $53.

3:40 am

lynxxx

Birdee - makes a lot of sense rather than a foreign language which you may never use

3:40 am

Birdeee

they had to take German also ;)

3:43 am

kje

corner M?

hello, Flask

4:07 am

Hi Flask. BBS

4:07 am

sprite

here the real fireworks have begun, and with this being a very crowded area to live in, that means nonstop bangs. I am behind closed windows and weaponed with earplugs, to slow down the eroding of my nerves.
But my daughter is skating on real ice, the roofs are frozen white and my day started with cuddles from my love and our son. So life is good.

4:07 am

sprite

hi Flask

4:07 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx you got anything planed for tonight

4:07 am

Flask1

...and to you too Lynxxx

4:07 am

That doesn't sound too bad Sprite

4:08 am

that is so true, BabbleRabble. And the first text feels like a true consolation. Puts me back into a better mood, a better attitude.

4:12 am

herinfernallady

We had a lovely dinner. Oysters, prawns and salmon then steak. We are on thhe way to a friends house to get changed then go to another friends house then back to the first friends house so no one has to drink and drive

4:13 am

many still argue about natural selection and the survival of the fitness .... but those who seem to do best often are not the strongest or the brightest but those who accept the reality of changing circumstances and acquiring the capacity to see change as a challenge ... what is quite astounding is how the lowly cockroach has been around for so long because of its adapability

4:14 am

Angelsong

quite a few phantoms today: plier, pilaf...

4:14 am

Well said Babrab

I buy online from Remo (based in Sydney) and they had this on their weekly email which I really liked...by American philosopher & poet Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 to 1882):

"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

4:40 am

mrpresident

amen lynxx

been busy copy and pasting your quote, lyn= i used to have it posted over my kitchen sink and lost it- thanks for finding it for me again!

5:04 am

lynxxx

a happy coincidence, yw Jaia

5:05 am

jaianniah

very- Happy New Year's Eve, all!

5:06 am

jaianniah

I just do not see thirty-five words off that "m"

5:06 am

jaianniah

I have nineteen...

5:07 am

lynxxx

TY Jaia - the fireworks here have just started, they do them early for the families they try to attract in the city

5:09 am

jaianniah

That is reqally neat, lynxxx- my crazy neighbors start at Christmas and go all through to New year's- drinking too much egg nog, no doubt....

5:11 am

MonkeyGames

The fireworks have started here too... but here that is neighborhood kids with smaller ones being a right hazard all over the place. Just got in from a LONG trip to the pet store where we get Saskia's special food, and the supermarket and all, and nothing spices up a three below ride on an open trike like fireworks exploding without warning right next to one! And hi folks.

5:12 am

sprite

hi all, back.

5:12 am

MonkeyGames

Hi Sprite!

5:12 am

MonkeyGames

I will find an icon as soon as I decide what to look for...

5:13 am

jaianniah

Hi MG and Sprite

5:13 am

sprite

it is not funny, is it, MonkeyG. Last year the neighbourhood 'gang' threw fireworks at and into our house, and at my body. This year they try to lure us out.

5:13 am

lynxxx

hi MG. We banned fireworks here quite a few years ago. No over the counter and only avail by licenced operators

5:13 am

sprite

hi jai!

5:13 am

MonkeyGames

Oh nasty! No, nothing like that here thang goodness, they're being generaly kind of responsible. But I sure am glad we don't live in Amsterdam anymore! THAT was scary!

5:14 am

sprite

I can't wait for the netherlands to ban fireworks. I'd love to see a law that would have fireworks done only by officials.

5:14 am

jaianniah

Hi. I have the 'flu and am taking abreak from sleeping...LOL!

5:14 am

MonkeyGames

I think it is so much fun for so many it should just eb maybe limited to specific locations and times with police around.

5:14 am

sprite

aw jai, rotten way to end the old year. I wish you heaps of health!

5:14 am

lynxxx

oh, the flu seems to be making the rounds again

5:15 am

jaianniah

Thanks. The kids have had this for weeeks and I thought I was going to escape- NO Such Luck- I need Luck this Year!!! Thanks!

5:16 am

sprite

after last year I have a zero tolerance for fireworks. I was so incredibly scared and the police refused to come. We reported 5 times. They said they'd come but did not, so right now I have the garden hose at the ready. If they should get back, I will get them soaking wet with cold water.

5:16 am

sprite

no doubt, THAT will bring the police to our house though.

5:16 am

MonkeyGames

Good for you! Yes, that is criminal behavior. I don't understand why the police wouldn't come. That is just shocking! Stay in and be safe!

5:17 am

MonkeyGames

Did you file a formal complaint against the police department?

5:17 am

jaianniah

It is that way in our neighborhood. Here is some states, fireworks are banned, but they are legal for the most pasrt in Mississippi...that tells you something about this state....that there are a lot of fingerless kids!

5:17 am

sprite

we knew their first names and where they lived. The police claimed they could only come if we knew their last names. Quite a lousy excuse to slack at work, right?

5:17 am

jaianniah

*in

5:17 am

MonkeyGames

Can you set up a web can to snap pictures of them if they start doing anything?

5:18 am

MonkeyGames

That is unbelievable! I hope you did file a formal complaint!

5:19 am

sprite

I don't have a webcam, but I will take pictures if they come back. I scared the beejeezus out of one of them though, last summer, when he came into our garden at night and I was standing there. He ran off like a frightened dog and they laid quite low after that.

5:19 am

jaianniah

Good for you, Sprite!

5:20 am

sprite

no we did not. I wanted to, very much, but my husband and therapists said to not put myself under that stress. It almost never results in something good and I was in very very bad shape.

5:20 am

MonkeyGames

Good! You don't need that kind of aggravation. Wish I could come over with Saskia-- she wouldn't DO anything of course, but she would bark and be bigger than them.

5:20 am

jaianniah

That is precisely why I have a big Labrador!

5:20 am

sprite

she would scare them big time. They wouldn't have a way to know she is the gentlest dog of her breed, lol.

5:20 am

MonkeyGames

I understand, but I would have filed a complaint and then if it was stressful to do so simply not tried to follow up-- that way it is at least on the record!

5:21 am

MonkeyGames

Well, I sincerely hope they stay well away this year.

5:22 am

MonkeyGames

OK, must go check on my breakfast (Been that kind of day so far...) back in a bit!

5:22 am

sprite

yeah, I really wanted to. But I think they were right to tell me not to, I was so on the brink of a total breakdown. And to tell you the truth, I am kinda scared now. And I HATE being scared.

5:22 am

sprite

same here, breakfast is standing right in front of me now. Enjoy, MonkeyG!

5:24 am

lynxxx

Enjoy Sprite & MG

5:24 am

6:05 am

sprite

I appreciate all initiatives people take around babble. It is just that I am not very interested in stats.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

I use Babble Expert, with Lickety's clue list.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I must get an early start to work. With the snow, the radio stationjust described the roads as "treacherous."

6:07 am

sprite

be safe, Scrabs.

6:08 am

lynxxx

I'm sorry Angelsong, I couldn't find those Stats

6:08 am

jorja, i saw that on the weather channel, that you got snow --freaky

7:09 am

Uneaixoise

was a very chubby 52 when I got her--her foster mom left food out all the time--can never do that with mine!

7:09 am

jbp

that's about what our beagle mix is maybe 45, because she is food crazed.

7:09 am

Uneaixoise

beagles are foodaholics

7:09 am

Im in Kentucky last time it snowed in Jesup Ga was Dec 22 1989... wow it is beautiful!!

7:10 am

jbp

yep, when we are home, they are on leash inside, because the beagle countersurfs (a word I didn't know before we got her) and the corgie is obsessed with peeing on this ONE spot...

7:10 am

Uneaixoise

my mom's springer is a master countersurfer!

7:10 am

the dog we lost in the spring was totally NOt food motivated, so this is a total switch.

TY, inge

8:10 am

MonkeyGames

Doing great. There never was much bruising, he says it only hurts if he bumps it with a toy or tries to take his shirt off and scrapes it, it remains dry and sightly, and he was allowed to get it wet today so he had a shower (which he loves) and is feeling good. Thanks for asking!

8:11 am

Inge2

what happened to him, monkey? Did he fall?

8:11 am

MonkeyGames

The doctor said just let the tape fall off by itself and no need to put more on.

8:13 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, he tripped over his own feet turning around quickly after putting a plate on the table and went right down. We are uncertain what exactly he hit but it was probably the vaccuum cleaner. Got himself a short but very deep cut. We had to call an an ambulance and go in and have it glued. But no concussion or anything, and the scar will be high enough to be under his hair much of the time so the other kids probably won't call him Harry Potter later...

8:13 am

Inge2

ouch! must have bled a lot at first

8:13 am

MonkeyGames

This was Sunday evening.

8:14 am

MonkeyGames

It SURE did! Luckily I know enough not to be shocked by that. We called because I have no car, the ambulance depot is 5 minutes away, and we were hoping they could patch it up here, but they said it'd leave one heck of a scar if we didn't go for teh glue.

8:16 am

Hello Nan.

8:16 am

MonkeyGames

It is a very close relative of superglue and they can use it on wounds that are not gaping too badly. They like to use it on kids-- way less traumatic than stitching.

8:16 am

MonkeyGames

I've only seen it on hospital shows before this.

8:17 am

Inge2

wow. I'm glad he's healing up well.

8:17 am

morning all. okay, true confessions: my babble learning curve seems to have stagnated. whenever i dive into a new grid, I seem to find lots of four letter words, and sometimes a five or two, but I am not getting much better at finding long words. take today - I have been babbling for a half hour, and have found 9 sixes, but none of the longer words. any advice from you longer-termers?

8:30 am

Cutting back to help the global economy?

8:32 am

I have no system... I glare at them and fiddle around until it isn't fun, then I get the list and ask for clues. If it stops being fun again, I stop playing and don't worry about finishing the grid.

MonkeyGames

Proper noun, trif. It's pretty random about that.

8:51 am

Anniebrook

like petri dish, chow mein...

8:52 am

Anniebrook

and those are not proper nouns either

8:52 am

MonkeyGames

Yes. At least they shopuldn't be.

8:52 am

crosshair

Are all the u's UN words?

10:32 am

hurshy

when you ask my nephew what various an6s say, he'll say moo, and baa, and woof, and so forth, but when you ask him what cats say, despite all the effort we put in to telling him it's "meow", he says nothing. my suspicion is that they are the one an6 he's gotten to observe a lot, and he sees that most of the time they do not say anything!

10:32 am

dcseain

yes,indeedy

10:33 am

dcseain

that means he's gentle with the cats, which is a good thing

10:33 am

hurshy

no, it does not ... he mostly sees them over skype :)

10:34 am

in person, he can be a little grabby.

oh my - it's that time of year where they wrap up all that happened and here is one of the an6 stories of the year: On a fine October day, Gracie the horse decided to investigate a hole in a tree, but she went a little bit too far and got stuck. Owner Jason Harschbarger of Pullman, W.Va., snapped the photo before using a chainsaw to cut Gracie free. She was not seriously hurt. (picture horse with head in massive hole in tree trunk)

11:03 am

11:04 am

jan

This is a pretty hard grid--there are 61 words that I couldn't give a definition of in the grid--and after Babbling a while I have a reasonably good vocabulary! So that's one in three that are, for me at least, unknown.

11:04 am

fuquayvarina

ty! (chuckle)

11:05 am

jbp

awesome clue ruru

11:05 am

dpomfr

The ma/7 is a good example--it means a subdivision of a Roman legion or a band on the sleeve of a Eucharistic garment.

11:06 am

The last fi/6 is the word for the end of a whistle or recorder. It rhymes with the character in the old Charmin commercials that urged us not to squeeze the tissue.

11:07 am

what is more frustrating Jan is when enable won't accept the words we do know exist.

What is misleading about his health is that Mystery Virus in the summer. He was so ill for so long most people have the idea he's often unwell when thatis not actually true. He gave that to Sprite's kids and her adughter is just now really all better...

Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.
