2:55 am

niksforjaff

well its playing up a lot-mum has to take me up to the hosp all the time..was there last night

2:56 am

sprite

I was here when the two of you had to leave. Did you have to wait long there?

2:56 am

joshuavorbis

so, i have 2 be7's. and i am trying to figure out what the 2nd one is supposed to pertain to

2:56 am

sprite

I have only one, pertaining to meat

2:57 am

joshuavorbis

both of mine pertain to meat

2:57 am

joshuavorbis

one is an adverb, though

2:58 am

niksforjaff

oh yes-mum went home..i was there for about 8 hours before they popped it back in

2:58 am

rbud

2nd one seems kind of redundant, doesn't it? :p

2:58 am

joshuavorbis

the hamburger be7 sat there and emanated a pleasant odor to all those in the room who were not vegetarians

2:58 am

sprite

omg that is awfully long. The pain must be wearing you out pretty bad.

2:58 am

niksforjaff

but im lucky compared to what i see and the poor other ppl up there

2:59 am

sprite

lol nikki, that is the bad thing, that it's true. That is why they make you wait so long... not urgent enough.

2:59 am

rbud

LOL, josh!

2:59 am

niksforjaff

pains bad but as i said im lucky

2:59 am

J. C.

<-- Holds his nose! :P

yeah we4 I wish you MORE luck than that.

3:00 am

J. C.

Oh my god, Nicky - what a long time to leave you waiting, with it dislocated! :(

3:00 am

niksforjaff

i think they are so sick of me and it depends on which doc i get-like if they know me and has put my shoulder in before

3:00 am

J. C.

You must've been in terrible pain, all that time? :(

3:01 am

sprite

when do you see the specialist again? Thursday?

3:02 am

niksforjaff

i know jules-but the doc i had was a real b**** and didnt even read my file..anyway its the luck of the draw of which doc i get..enough of me..how boring

3:02 am

niksforjaff

yes sprite..tomorrow..they might have to fuse it

3:02 am

J. C.

What??? Why would the doctor say such a horrible thing about you? :(

3:03 am

J. C.

You are certainly *not* boring, Nicky!

3:03 am

sprite

will keep my fingers crossed for you, nikki. Fusing is not funny, but at least better than all this pain every time it comes out again.

3:03 am

niksforjaff

i think she just treated me like someone that had a first off dislocation

3:04 am

kje

hey sprite!

3:57 am

sprite

no am used to dogs, just never had one since I married

3:59 am

niksforjaff

this is just my opinion and through experience that they need that socialization with their littermates until about 12 weeks..also being a dog trainer i have seen lots of dogs that have problems because they have left the litter too early

4:00 am

TY for the al7 Sprite - it's the fish of the day! Hello everyone

4:00 am

niksforjaff

but im sure your breeder knows best so dont listen to me

4:02 am

sprite

no, Terra will come home with us on Monday, that is already settled. I haven't heard before about 12 weeks, just to wait until the 8th week (the fear period) is over. Here they say that the period from 8 - 9 weeks on is important for bonding.

4:03 am

niksforjaff

hi sprite, its sandy , nicky has a phone call, you puppy will be gorgeous, the most important weeks are 5-8 so he will be fine

4:04 am

4:07 am

niksforjaff

she plays the piano, and she is worried about her being able to play
hi lyn

4:07 am

sprite

that is for sure, sandy. It beats the hell out of this misery. Though it won't be pleasant.

4:07 am

niksforjaff

whatever will be will be

4:08 am

sprite

perhaps the specialist can say something about that. And otherwise, she will have to build it up again slowly. With patience. Arrrrgh!

4:08 am

niksforjaff

I am sooo tired and am having my nightly glass of wine lol

4:08 am

lynxxx

Would it be risky (in case of future incidents) if you write a letter of complaint/concern to that hospitals admin? Might give that doctor some corrective feedback

4:08 am

niksforjaff

Our babble puppy godson will be gorgeous

4:09 am

niksforjaff

lyn, i suggested that to nick, but she wont be in it because she says she would get treated worse

4:09 am

niksforjaff

I dont care, I just dont want to have to go up there anyway

4:10 am

If pres comes on , tell her I will give her a ring , I have her numbers

5:26 am

sandyloo

I hope he will be ok kris, its hard for everyone in the family

5:27 am

gramma

I think we should ask Dr.God to post Lickety's clues. I can't play worth a hoot w/out them. And poor lickety has a life outside of this game, I'm sure it would be a bit of re6/27 for him

7:00 am

Norma

thank you for clues finally got it ... told you I was thick lol

7:01 am

Norma

We really miss Lickety don't we ... it is true him and drp have a very full life outside of this game ... but we all love them

I think Lickety has already tried to have a conversation with him but ...

gramma

That's too bad. I don't know how he does it, but I sure need it.

7:04 am

lynxxx

Lots of people like Babble just as it is anyway and don't use Lickety at all

7:04 am

lynxxx

hi MM

7:04 am

gramma

They wouldn't have to use it.

7:05 am

Norma

I like to do it on my own to see how many I can get then when I get desperate I go to Lickety's it a nice safety net lol

7:06 am

7:08 am

oodleberry

Norma, I always inevitably hit a wall at 50% of the grid ... no matter what the size of the grid

7:09 am

oodleberry

so I always use lickety

7:09 am

Norma

Man after my own heart ... 50% is usually the best I can do on my own..lol

7:12 am

oodleberry

usually at this time my brain decides to go to the carribbean WITHOUT ME

7:12 am

Norma

Can I go with it please ???

7:13 am

oodleberry

dunno it is never here when I realize it is gone... I would but it never takes me

7:13 am

Norma

lol

7:13 am

oodleberry

7:14 am

oodleberry

I hate it... I can't stand this game ...

7:14 am

oodleberry

;-)

7:14 am

Norma

I have played it more or less since it started ... I get more time to play now as I am retired... I never did the big ones when I worked... You will love it eventually it is like an addiction only cheaper than heroin lol

7:15 am

lynxxx

MM - lo8 - compound - someone who is beneath you

7:31 am

oodleberry

holy words batman!!! 8 C words???!!!!

7:31 am

dart001

ty mrp.....i agree jan

7:32 am

jan

This particular grid is a challenge even for those of us with plenty of middle of the night time for it...but it does have some choice Babblets, like the lw/4 Angolan currency...

7:33 am

dart001

this one does have some strange words

7:33 am

jan

I've slowed down to a glacial pace with five to go.

7:33 am

oodleberry

think you have a fan dart

7:34 am

dart001

mrp is the best :)

7:36 am

mrpresident

I am not a fan! I am an admirer of brilliance!!

7:37 am

7:37 am

dart001

oodle is another tangler from when i used to tangle i think

7:37 am

mrpresident

dart is my 'babble equivalent of "take it on baby" '... dart is cool

7:38 am

oodleberry

ohhhh hi dart... don't remember your name... guess lots of peops know me from there but whom I don't know

mrpresident

7:42 am

oodleberry

7:43 am

dart001

can you mouse on that oodle?

7:43 am

mrpresident

ah, that was the french maid outfit!
I have 'scarred' many a man with that one! :) LOL

7:43 am

dart001

that's the one!!! LOL

7:44 am

oodleberry

yes but you have to click it on the top of the puzzle

7:44 am

dart001

i'm not the fastest typist in the world

7:44 am

LadyNatts

I've heard the mousing is not that great...

7:45 am

dart001

you'll have to put that pic up on your FB page mrp!

7:47 am

oodleberry

dif is that you have to click at the beginning of the word, the just move the mouse over the rest of the letters then click the last word

7:48 am

dart001

i'll have to check it out...was playing scramble at FB for a while...was ok..but not the same as tangle

7:49 am

oodleberry

no and people do not chat like here and tangle(now serpentine)

7:49 am

dart001

only about 10 secs between games if i remember...not much time to even say good game

7:50 am

dart001

back to work...enjoy dinner mrp! byeee

7:50 am

oodleberry

bbye dart

7:51 am

7:55 am

home352

7:55 am

oodleberry

7:56 am

home352

i dont see it...

7:56 am

home352

oooh ok i see it now! thanks!

7:57 am

oodleberry

yw

7:58 am

Uniquity

Sorry, I was doing my babble tour speech, but got distracted by an e-mail. Connecting the letters into words of four lettersor more, enter them in the little box below the grid. Helpful links include help (above), angelsongs babble page (in friends of babble box below all the letters) and lickety's clues. Good luck!

7:58 am

home352

thanks!

7:59 am

Takuma Sato

hiya folks

7:59 am

Judi

Good Wednesday, Peeps!

7:59 am

Uniquity

Clues to some of the trickier words are posted off and on throughout the day, if you reguest a specific word, people will almost always help you. Blinding saying "give me words" never works. I think that is it! :)

8:00 am

Uniquity

Reguest. Whoops. Hey Taku, Judi!

8:01 am

Judi

EEEEEEEs. I seeeeeee EEEEEEEs.

8:02 am

oodleberry

E's??? where? Where? WHERE??

8:02 am

Uniquity

I see oooooos and llllllllls. This grid only has..14 different letters!

8:04 am

oodleberry

I don't see any E's :D

8:05 am

Judi

Perhaps that's for the best, Oodle. Denial aint just a river in Egypt.

8:05 am

oodleberry

hee hee hee :D

8:06 am

Judi

And why can't someone/something be "owly"?

8:07 am

Takuma Sato

lol judi

8:07 am

oodleberry

i agree judi

8:07 am

Judi

I've heard of "owlish". Why not owly? I've known owly people.

8:08 am

Takuma Sato

yeah, if slippery people can be ee 4/6, why can't nocturnal people with big eyes be owly?

8:09 am

oodleberry

well dammit anyway judi

8:09 am

oodleberry

good logic takuma

8:09 am

Uniquity

Well, this grid is not scooting along for me.

8:09 am

Judi

Yeah!

8:10 am

Takuma Sato

same here, uni - my first pass netted me a grand total of 54 words. inauspicious, tstl

8:10 am

oodleberry

and why isn't touchy fe*** a word

8:11 am

Judi

Good question!

8:11 am

Uniquity

Or fi**y. With flames!

8:11 am

Takuma Sato

do we have a term for words that are in the grid but not the dictionary -- a counterpart to 'phantom'?

8:12 am

Uniquity

motnahp, perhaps?

8:12 am

Takuma Sato

oops, left off a quote: "'phantom''?"

8:12 am

oodleberry

nonbabblet?

8:12 am

Takuma Sato

lol, uni - that'll work just fine

8:12 am

godthaab

Does anyone else have lo5/22?

8:12 am

hootowl

mememe

8:13 am

hootowl

morning everyone

8:13 am

Judi

Sing it, hootowl!

8:13 am

Takuma Sato

not yet god, but your question prompted me to get the lo7, so thanks!

8:13 am

oodleberry

the opposite of high**

8:13 am

godthaab

How is it possible for that word to be made?

8:13 am

hootowl

nah - I'm an owl, I don't sing - I hoot

8:13 am

Takuma Sato

hiya hootowl

8:14 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone!!

8:14 am

hootowl

3 l's not 2

8:14 am

Takuma Sato

howdy annie

8:14 am

Uniquity

But you can't be owly...according to babble, at least.

8:14 am

oodleberry

hi annie

8:14 am

Judi

Not all owls hoot.

8:14 am

hootowl

I usually just enter words and figure out where they are afterwards

8:14 am

Judi

Some screach. Some cluck.

8:14 am

Anniebrook

Hi takuma and oodle

8:15 am

Vicuna

The word is owlish. No reason why it's owlish and not owly, but at least it isn't Enable's fault for once.

8:15 am

hootowl

True - lean towards barn owls that just squealk!

8:15 am

Vicuna

lo5/22 starts at lower left l.

8:15 am

hootowl

and that's not a typo - check a bird sound site!

8:15 am

Uniquity

Oh Vic, coming in here with reality and all. Pah.

8:16 am

Judi

Like Enable needs an enabler!

8:16 am

godthaab

Ah, now I see it.

8:16 am

Vicuna

Sorry!

8:16 am

hootowl

realism - shhhh!

8:16 am

hootowl

back to grid

8:16 am

Judi

If we had another "f" we could have coffee.

8:17 am

Takuma Sato

strikes me as sort of a strange word - add the adverb ending to an adjective, yielding not an adverb, but a different adjective

8:17 am

oodleberry

***SLAMS!!! smack dab into the wall***

8:18 am

Vicuna

Hmmm, nice point, Takuma. Ain't English marvelous!

8:18 am

oodleberry

**owie***

8:18 am

Vicuna

Nope, oodleberry, "owie" is another unacceptable word!

8:19 am

Takuma Sato

glad to see the word for rubber rain boots is accepted

8:19 am

oodleberry

no that is a reaction to slamming into the wall Vic

8:19 am

Vicuna

(Yes, I know, oodleberry.)

8:20 am

oodleberry

what does it start with tak

8:20 am

movieman

clue for bottom row o plz

8:20 am

hootowl

I have come to the conclusion that enable was set up by a sadist who deliberately set out to drive us crazy. Why no plural goose? It's in every dicionary I've checked including Dictionary.com!

8:20 am

Takuma Sato

we5/22

8:21 am

Judi

I suspect that Enable was made in China.

8:21 am

Takuma Sato

out of shoddy materials

8:21 am

Uniquity

LOL Judi..

8:21 am

Vicuna

Not only defective, but like to give us all lead poisoning?

8:21 am

Takuma Sato

did you mean for the 1-word O tile, mm?

8:21 am

Judi

No doubt. I'd say it's long overdue for a recall.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

recall, recall

8:22 am

movieman

yes taka

8:22 am

Takuma Sato

I can't help there - I've been puzzling over that one, too

8:22 am

movieman

nm, ty anyway

8:22 am

Judi

If China can censor Google, we should be able to censor Enable (as in remove it from the Web).

8:23 am

Judi

Hiya, Movieman!

8:23 am

movieman

hiya judi!!

8:25 am

hootowl

Seems to me id dictionary.com is good enough for definitions (which it isn't) it's good enough for babble. I have never seen so many archaic words!

8:25 am

mrpresident

holy moly!! finally have a moment to myself!

8:26 am

Takuma Sato

is enable coextensive with the official scrabble dictionary?

8:26 am

Takuma Sato

I recall the scrabble dictionary being very useful back when I was a completionist

8:26 am

Takuma Sato

hiya mrp!

8:26 am

hootowl

It seems to be soley unto itself Taku

8:26 am

Judi

Hot damn! I found all the E's!

8:26 am

mrpresident

I am sleeping in till 9.30am... then going out with a friend, buying a shirt load of stuff, and not feeling guilty! :)

8:26 am

Uniquity

Scrabble dictionary version 2, that is. They took out all the naughty words after that.

8:27 am

Judi

Yay, Mr. P. Way to stimulate that economy!

8:27 am

Takuma Sato

a 1-man stimulus package ;)

8:28 am

hootowl

That's another thing that's always bothered me about Enable...it has every derogatory term ever invented. Feel dis gust every time I have to enter one. Just perpetuating filth.

8:29 am

Vicuna

Can't blame Enable for that, either. It isn't Enable's fault people use those words. If nobody used them, they wouldn't be words.

8:29 am

Judi

Potty mouth Babble.

8:29 am

Takuma Sato

and we'd just make other words dirty

8:30 am

Uniquity

I'm a big fan of taking the evil out of words. There are only two or three which I feel truly uncomfortable with, the others mean little to me.

8:30 am

hootowl

But if he could remove variations of regular words, why not delete offensive ones too?

8:30 am

Judi

What's life without a little cheeky inuendo?

8:31 am

Takuma Sato

tbh, I don't have any objections to any words being *in* the dictionary

8:31 am

hootowl

But most people don't use them anymore. Haven't heard most of them for 40 yrs. Just renewing them.

8:31 am

Takuma Sato

I'm more annoyed by the ones left out ;)

8:31 am

Vicuna

I doubt there's a "he" deliberately scheming to remove, say, "henge" from Enable.

8:31 am

hootowl

And why with all the other filth can't we use satan? Not nearly as offensive.

8:32 am

Vicuna

Satan's a proper noun.

8:32 am

Takuma Sato

you needn't enter the offensive ones :)

8:32 am

helen67

Ho all, could anyone help with a clue for ro 7 pls?

8:33 am

Vicuna

Enable's a crummy dictionary, no doubt about it. But I think it's merely crummy, not deliberately evil!

8:33 am

hootowl

nuts! Nothing proper about it. Church labelrd to have a scare point. Really, really tired of people trying to scare me into doing something.

8:33 am

helen67

Sorry meant hi

8:33 am

Vicuna

And I agree, I hate to enter the bad ones when my kids are around!

8:33 am

Judi

Hello, Helen!

8:33 am

oodleberry

may i ask a stupid question??? please

8:34 am

Takuma Sato

can we answer in kind? ;)

8:34 am

helen67

Hi Judi

8:34 am

Vicuna

That was one, oodleberry! lol But go ahead and ask another.

8:34 am

hootowl

Luckily no kids but they do offend me. And if you don't enter them, you don't finish. I like finishing.

8:34 am

oodleberry

what or who is Enable... is it a site, a person, aplace, a thing?

8:34 am

Takuma Sato

it's a dictionary

8:35 am

Takuma Sato

that's used by lots of computer-based games

8:35 am

oodleberry

on the net?

8:35 am

oodleberry

never heard of it

8:35 am

Vicuna

Enable is the on-line dictionary by which Babble decides which words to accept.

8:35 am

Judi

It's an online dictionary. If you click on one of the question marks next to the words you've entered. Enable will pop up to (hopefully) define that word.

8:35 am

movieman

the ir6 plz?

8:35 am

hootowl

Never heard of it before Babble. Who else uses it?

8:35 am

movieman

nm just got it

8:36 am

Vicuna

Judi, I always thought that the question mark didn't go to Enable, hence the number of words Enable accepts but the question mark can't define?

8:36 am

Uniquity

I think the question mark goes to dictionary.com

8:36 am

Takuma Sato

"Enhanced North American Benchmark LEexicon (ENABLE) is a public domain list of 173,000+ words, mainly intended for use by ScrabbleÂ® players."

8:37 am

Takuma Sato

I hesitate to tell you, but there is an email address for the list maintainer

8:37 am

Kateq

il 5/10? please and ty

8:37 am

Judi

Oops, that's right, Uni. Shows you how much I know. I usually use A2Z Wordfinder if I'm stumped on a particular word.

8:37 am

Vicuna

il5/10 - more sick

8:38 am

Kateq

thanks

Oh, Takuma, that could be dangerous! ... and fun!

alison = stud. signed on on the wrong name again

8:39 am

hootowl

That name sounds like an inflated puffball. Enhanced with what? Benchmark? I just think it's wrong to expose youngsters, who may have never heard or known that type of word,\ to be exposed to them.

8:39 am

Vicuna

Hello, new arrivals!

Judi

Such is life in the 21st century, hoot. Instant information about everything. It's damn near impossible to keep kids from getting too much of it. Ironic, really.

8:41 am

Vicuna

It is a name with an unreasonably high opinion of itself!

8:41 am

hootowl

Nuts - I'm going back to grid. More frustration is really not something I need.

***As a youngster, I have read most of these words before, if not heard them. Literature willkeep this words forever.

8:43 am

Uneaixoise

hoot, i totally empathize . . . but we've gone 'round and 'round about this before . . . makes me want to wash my hands when I enter words like cu4 and da4 . . . :-(

8:43 am

Vicuna

Hmm... Most of those derogatory words weren't in the literature I read, Uni! In fact, some of them are indeed being taught to me for the first time by Babble. But that doesn't mean I have to use them in conversation.

8:43 am

oodleberry

taka did you download the lexicon?

8:43 am

hootowl

And I'm not really the prude I'm making myself sound like. Just very tired of people using that type of language because they haven't the brains to think of anything else.

8:44 am

Judi

Any dork can use an inappropriate word. It takes an intellectual to recognize when not to use one.

8:44 am

Takuma Sato

I did, oodle

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

as we've said many times, the words Enable accepts often appear very arbitrary

8:44 am

Vicuna

Oh, hootowl, have Prude Pride! I'm a prude and actually never use "swear words" of any kind! But they're still words, whether I use them or not.

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

don't think you're a prude at all . . .

8:45 am

oodleberry

ok...and your name are you from Japan? or just like the name?

8:45 am

tragicstud

i lost my glasses

8:45 am

hootowl

And of also found that something turned down on monday may very well be okay on friday. I'll never understand that.

8:45 am

Uniquity

I'm not trying to make that impression, in a sense I do agree with you. However, I have read a wide variety of books spanning several hundred years and as a very young child was introduced to many of these words. In this way, I feel the power was taken out of them as they were not hidden from me, but I was instead taught the origin or things which do NOT need to be said or used, but which still are anyway.

8:45 am

tragicstud

that's no good at all...

8:45 am

Takuma Sato

oh, and vic, unfortunately the address for the list maintainer has apparently changed

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

well, racial epithets aren't "swear words"

8:45 am

Judi

I have nothing against cuss words. I can swear with the best of them. It's usually just an outlet. I don't swear at other people, just myself.

8:46 am

mrpresident

hello again :))

8:46 am

Vicuna

Okay, call them what you will. I don't use them, either.

8:46 am

Takuma Sato

I'm not from Japan, oodle - it's the name of an entertaining Formula 1 driver

8:46 am

Uneaixoise

hey, mrp!!

8:46 am

tragicstud

hi mrp

8:46 am

Takuma Sato

I swear at the grid a lot

8:46 am

Takuma Sato

and on that note, I'm off to work for awhile. Good luck all!

8:46 am

Uneaixoise

vicuna, I just mean that it's not JUST swear words . . .

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

later, takuma

8:47 am

Judi

Bye, Taku!

8:47 am

Takuma Sato

I put the link to the wordlist in my profile, in case anyone's interested, but doesn't want to scroll back through chat

8:47 am

Vicuna

That's true, Une. My point is just that my dislike of a word, or my choice not to use it myself, doesn't stop it from being a word.

8:48 am

Vicuna

It's just the old prescriptive vs descriptive argument. Dictionaries have had to make that choice since they were invented.

8:48 am

Anniebrook

I would like to put a motion before the babble board that all Cees would removed from babble forevermore

8:48 am

hootowl

I think I have been more sensitised by living in Memphis the past 5 years. They use race as an argument for everything! The biggest offender being the MAYOR. I am originally from NY. If someone used that stuff there, there would usually be someone telling him/her to shut up. Here it just people apart.

8:49 am

Anniebrook

*be

8:49 am

Vicuna

And then on top of that, Enable just stinks regardless of what kind of dictionary it's trying to be!

8:49 am

good morning

8:50 am

Hi, Harpjane!

8:50 am

Uneaixoise

hoot, I grew up in the South and I do think that makes me cringe even more . . .

8:50 am

Uneaixoise

annie, I agree! Down with c's!!

8:50 am

Vicuna

Oh, I can understand that, hootowl. I'm sure that does make the problem much more present to you.

8:50 am

I have bang bangs!!!!!

8:51 am

Hi Une!

8:51 am

Vicuna

Hello, harp.

8:51 am

i found my glasses. i know that we were all concerned. not to worry ;)

8:51 am

Yay for tragicstud! That's one tragedy averted, anyway.

8:51 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

8:52 am

Uneaixoise

vi, where I used to work ( a religious nonprofit no less), I worked with a woman who used that kind of language and finally called her on it . . . my "success" was that she stopped using it around ME!

8:52 am

harpjane

hello evan

8:52 am

hootowl

Une I must say I haven't heard stories like here coming out of your location. And I did stay in Knox for a while and didn't run into it there. But this place is a sewer. I will talk to anyone and I've had peple

8:52 am

Death09

good morning everyone

8:52 am

hootowl

had peole snub me when asking for something in a store!

8:52 am

Anniebrook

I still blush. When I was new to babble I entered the cu4/6 into the chat and was ribbed unmercifully. I was surprised that was in the dictionary but it is an olde english word

8:52 am

Hi, Eva. Smashing pillbox.

Mornin everyone!!!

8:57 am

Pinikula

oh, stud....guess what?

8:57 am

tragicstud

?

8:57 am

Judi

I'm missing the al7/56.

8:58 am

Pinikula

we talked about your succulents weekend before last...right?

8:58 am

tragicstud

yes

8:58 am

Pinikula

when I walked into work on monday for our big move, one of the professors stopped by to drop off three plants she'd purchased...

8:58 am

tragicstud

(my tail just started wagging)

8:58 am

tragicstud

(i love my succulents)

8:58 am

Pinikula

...one was a Black Rose...I was jealous cuz I'd just learned of it.

8:59 am

tragicstud

heh :)

8:59 am

Pinikula

to top it off...this past monday...

8:59 am

tragicstud

how big is it?

8:59 am

Pinikula

...my boss had left one for me on my desk as a thank you for a successful move!

8:59 am

Judi

Ha. Al7/56: Budweiser spouse.

8:59 am

tragicstud

aww!

8:59 am

tragicstud

yay!!

9:00 am

tragicstud

i was just gonna suggest that you get one - they're the neatest plants!

9:00 am

Judi

Hmmm. What does it mean when your boss gives you a succulent? Hidden meaning?

9:00 am

Pinikula

I think her's is slight smaller than mine...mine's about 6"+/- tall maybe?

9:01 am

tragicstud

the leaves (?) at the bottom fall off, and it can make you nervous... but i think they actually grow and fill in from the top and the bottom ones fall cause they have to to share the water

9:01 am

Pinikula

judi! she's a good friend ;)

9:01 am

Judi

Kidding. :) Just can't help but love the word succulent. It's so... succulent.

9:01 am

tragicstud

ooh pini we can talk black rose! thats so exciting!

9:01 am

9:02 am

Pinikula

hi bf

9:02 am

bfsog

Judi!

9:02 am

Judi

It's like lucious, sultry, etc. etc.

9:03 am

Pinikula

hb TS

9:03 am

bfsog

i do love it although they could be more generous.... :P

9:04 am

Pinikula

ROFL, nice try! :)

9:04 am

Judi

Men can't be sultry, succulent or lucious. Snakes and snails and all that.

9:05 am

bfsog

retreats o the corner, is this womans hour on babble? lol

9:05 am

mrpresident

ok, time to start this puzzle :)

9:05 am

Pinikula

hi mrp

9:06 am

Pinikula

nah, bf...I was just talking Black Rose with TS and Judi began messing with the word "succulent"...so cute! :)

9:06 am

Pinikula

...then you walked in during her description...take it from there!

9:06 am

bfsog

i was called lush before which is close to lucious

9:07 am

Pinikula

did it give you warm fuzzies, bf?

9:07 am

Pinikula

;)

9:07 am

Judi

No, no, bfsog. You can stay. You can be swarthy and brooding.

9:07 am

bfsog

erm, yeah... sure did lol

9:07 am

bfsog

ooh rooding good word!

9:15 am

harpjane

9:15 am

Judi

Pffth. I'll see your hallway and raise you a living room, Annie. Dreading it.

9:16 am

Pinikula

oh, I did, LP...thx!

9:16 am

mrpresident

my daughter is just 11. and some of her friends are right bitches! totally dominating, mean and down-putting... these are girls who are now 'seasoned' too.
Maddie doesn't understand their behaviour, or care for it.
They put her down for her choices in highschool.
They call her dumb for picking a public school education (it comes in the 90th percentile of all schools for high school certificate)... and she is 10 times smarter than those girls!
It hurt her

9:16 am

harpjane

ahh, i see the clue, will try now!

9:16 am

LoriP

Yes, scrool down harp, I did

9:16 am

harpjane

got it thankss

9:16 am

LoriP

scrool, scroll...take your pick. :D

9:16 am

oodleberry

oh ty peri, your a dear

9:17 am

Judi

Sigh. Kids can be cruel. Particularly girs. Catty little wenches.

9:17 am

periwinkle

:D

9:17 am

Anniebrook

girls that are 11 are too young to be so bitchy but then the world has advanced and sometimes not for the better

9:18 am

Pinikula

mrp...sorry to hear, but I think the only thing you and she can remember is that you have made good choices and it is sad that those girls feel they need to put down others to make themselves feel better; don't stoop to that level...be proud of yourselves.

9:18 am

Judi

The best revenge is a good education and a fat paycheck.

9:19 am

flosey

sage advice Pini - they'll grow out of it but until they do it can be very hurtful

9:19 am

oodleberry

no I don't let it get that full anymore... when I use the two 'fat' sweats I have I do laundry... soon I will be using regular pants, I hope.

9:20 am

Pinikula

I know, flosey...a sad situation...in fact, I was just talking with my 22 year old about how some former co-workers have been talking about her and her pregnancy...gads, some "girls just don't grow out of it"

9:20 am

Judi

22 left. Time for a break. Think I'll make a coffee run. BBL, kids!

9:20 am

Anniebrook

later, judi

9:20 am

Pinikula

...they gossip about how "it's good she's having a baby boy, because she doesn't know how to be girl"....what a bunch of b*****.

9:21 am

mrpresident

the teachers of her school have come down on the child... the is parroting her parents.

9:21 am

oodleberry

when one had low self esteem that is the norm... to put others down

9:21 am

Pinikula

so, mrp...I've told my dau the same thing (even at 22yo)...that she has better family and friends who actually do support her...and that she should consider the source (women who put down others to puff themselves up)

9:22 am

mrpresident

funny enough, she critisizes the public school system, but she is in a public school!!
how

9:22 am

flosey

ah Pini, that's just stupid cruelty by that age - probably jealousy

9:22 am

mrpresident

convenient! !

9:22 am

flosey

usually the public school system pays better than private as far as teaching goes

9:23 am

LoriP

Can someone end my A misery? I have all al's, 3 of which are 7's. Any more big ones?

9:23 am

hootowl

mrp are there other kids she van make friends with? When I was in highschool I had the misfortune of having the asst.principals daught in my class. Very large clique and basically ignored or picked on the rest os us. We the unwanted formed our own clique. not intentional but solved problems. A group will not bother a group. Prefer defensless singletons.

9:23 am

harpjane

help wiht the lone n, far left, please?

9:23 am

Pinikula

no doubt, flosey...consider one of the women changed her work hours and kids' after school activities so she could provide transportation for her ex-husband who was recently released from prison...

9:23 am

mama2maddie

harpjane......no way!! no...!

9:24 am

flosey

wow Pini - guess that says a lot - trying to disguise their own 'shame'

9:24 am

I see codependency there pini

9:24 am

9:24 am

help with the oo word?

9:25 am

LoriP

oo + anagram of what a train track is (4 letter word)

9:26 am

flosey

thanks Lori, needed that one

9:26 am

Pinikula

thx LP

9:26 am

Pinikula

so, on that note...i'd better go get ready for work...cy'all l8r! :)

9:26 am

9:27 am

I need another cup of coffee, brb

9:27 am

oodleberry

bbye pini hagd

9:28 am

mrpresident

I hear you all... but this girl has

9:28 am

mrpresident

MAJOR issues

9:29 am

mrpresident

and my daughter is the type of personality that will take in any stray dog

9:29 am

LoriP

At the risk of spamming :Can someone end my A misery? I have all al's, 3 of which are 7's. Any more big ones?

9:29 am

hootowl

even if it bites?

9:29 am

oodleberry

well if she has MAJOR issues, she needs a court marshal to private issues eh?

9:29 am

Uniquity

Well, as what seems to be the closest in age to eleven, I definite;y remember being bullied and looked down upon. There is nothing that can be done, really. You have to have the strength and self confidence to ignore other people, and parental/adult involvement is unnecessary and doesn't really make a difference unlessphysical violence is a risk.

9:30 am

mrpresident

yes owl... too sad for words

9:30 am

redturtlehead

ahhh lori, considering I have one A only I can assist you.

9:30 am

redturtlehead

i meant to ay I can not assist you. apologies.

9:31 am

mrpresident

I tend to agree uni...
BUT... she comes to me every night for advice

9:31 am

hootowl

And the school won't do anything?

9:31 am

oodleberry

well I thought it was funny... but maybe a bit facitious

9:31 am

LoriP

lol red. I thought maybe inspiration might strike me, but alas....no

9:32 am

Uniquity

Your advice should be for her to believe in herself then. That's all that will help. Lori never interfered on my behalf, even when I thought I wanted her to, and it was the right call. Talking to the people you love is often the only solution, since you can't change the behaviours of those you don't like. Or that don't like you.

9:32 am

redturtlehead

I am starting to have a lot of typo problems, may need to concentrate if I choose to chat.

9:32 am

mrpresident

no hootowl... they are suckers

9:33 am

Uniquity

Hoot, unless schools are very different in States or Aus, they will NEVER get involved unless there is violence.

9:33 am

hootowl

Well I hope it doesn't get physical. Maybe give her boxing lessons?

9:34 am

Uniquity

The only advice you will get from a school is to walk away. Never fight back. Sadly, it is the best defence for the body, if not for the mind.

9:34 am

hootowl

same here but if it disrupts classes at least most will attempt a discussion with parents.

9:35 am

Uniquity

Many parents will not make a difference...all of my biggest bullies had parents who didn't care. Therefore, it makes no difference. Sucks, a lot.

9:35 am

hootowl

or enough parents complain about her. Is there a school psycologist

9:35 am

redturtlehead

this makes me happy that I did go to a private school for high school, little more strict and while people werent popular no bullying went on...

9:36 am

flosey

mrp, at least your daughter has 2 great parents she can come to, she knows she's loved which can give her an inner strength

9:37 am

Uniquity

I am happy I didn't go to a private school (not that there was option for it, lol). I've heard much worse stories of hazing and bullying in private than in public. Protect your own and all that.

9:37 am

oodleberry

that oo word is eluding me...been working on it since it was clued and I have no idea

9:37 am

rururocks

I was raised in a cave by Wolves

9:37 am

LoriP

oodle, a mono**** train anagram it

9:37 am

flosey

lol, morning ru

9:38 am

Uniquity

Oodle, I didn't get the clue either, but I am also studying French at the same time..

9:38 am

LoriP

Well, at least they didn't eat you ruru. G'd morning. :)

9:38 am

Uniquity

Aha! Thanks :)

9:38 am

hootowl

vowel ending on oo

9:38 am

redturtlehead

Uni it depends on the values of the school. I went to a quaker school, strong values on equality and non violence. I was terribly unpopular, but in general people just ignored me. Private school that teach children that they are entitled to stuff, just arent worth it...

9:38 am

rururocks

no.. but I have a Thing for be4 carpaccio though..lol

9:39 am

mrpresident

Maddison did walk away, cause she knew the argument wouldn't stop, and they were baiting her.
She decided to stay awy from them at school to collect her thoughts, then she sent out an email

9:40 am

emo_62

hi all. my daughter was bullied rather badly last year and would cry herself to sleep every night and hide under the table in the morning. it was heart wrenching!! i went to school and spoke to the now ex head teacher and she was a lovely lady but didn't handle the situation very well. in the end we went to the bullies parents and spoke to them and sorted it out ourselves.most of the children were bullying because they were related in some way so were getting pulled in by one certain child who was lying about our daughter and then the family, mostly grandparents were telling her to do things to our daughter and we proved it wasn't our daughter'sfault. i'm happy to say now that she loves going to school

9:40 am

flosey

she sounds like a good solid kid mrp

9:41 am

redturtlehead

good to see that these things can be worked out emo, sounds awful.

9:42 am

Uniquity

Emo, sounds like you had (sickly) good luck with that experience. Often is not that "easy." I am glad for your daughter.

9:42 am

mrpresident

oh emo! what a disaster zone that was!!

9:42 am

Krysten

Emo,

9:42 am

Krysten

Emo,

9:43 am

emo_62

she still gets the odd bully kicking her now and again and i used to tell her to tell the teeachers or lunch supervisors but they didn't do much last time so i now tell her to kick them back and they don't do it so much now.

9:44 am

Krysten

Emo, I'm am very happy to hear that everything worked out. It doesn't always...last fall, my 15 year neice committed suicide because of bullying...how whole family now actively participates in community outreach that speaks out about bullying but it's too late.

9:44 am

lilliann

hi all, emo was me, i was doing a few words in hubby's grid as he has gone to the school to help out and didn't log out

9:45 am

redturtlehead

I really think people are too tolerant of this stuff thinking that kids will outgrow it somehow...

9:45 am

Uniquity

They don't...

9:45 am

redturtlehead

hi lilli

9:45 am

oodleberry

and it is 4 letters the oo?

9:45 am

lilliann

omg, krsten, i'm so sorry to hear that

9:45 am

Uniquity

kids who get away with bullying at five do it at ten, fifteen, twenty and fifty.

9:45 am

Krysten

Ironically, she would have been 16 today...kids need help to handle this

9:46 am

redturtlehead

no he oo is longe

9:59 am

hootowl

oh THAT one!. Seems like every day here........ What's happening?

10:00 am

redturtlehead

I believe it is because she killed ehr daughter, lilli, but there wasnt a good reason why.

10:00 am

redturtlehead

nothing much hoot, just some regular trial proceedings. but they are locally televised...

10:00 am

lilliann

oh right, nice mother!!!

10:00 am

hootowl

I think we hear about them because it hides ours.:( Makes them be able to say, not outloud thou, see, it's not only here!

10:02 am

cybernan

10:03 am

72 Temple Owl

11:39 am

fuquayvarina

Not again, Lori...

11:39 am

Vicuna

fuquay? Got the smelling salts again?

11:39 am

cybernan

hi all back for the last half and suspect I will be going to the list soon

11:40 am

fuquayvarina

Hope you have a soft floor, or a couch on which to faint gracefully...

11:40 am

LoriP

Sorry, I'm just so overcome... Vapors and all that.

11:40 am

fuquayvarina

I think she's had the maximum dose already. Better get the brandy instead

11:40 am

Vicuna

You know what I just realized Lori's problem is? She's playing at her computer while hanging by her knees (in solidarity with the monkeys, I think.) It's making her faint too easily.

11:40 am

mama2maddie

33 left...starting to struggle with this 1

11:40 am

LoriP

Brandy? ***faints again***

11:41 am

Uniquity

My chat is being eaten...I wish that babble would behave for me.

11:41 am

Vicuna

11:41 am

fuquayvarina

mama2maddie

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

11:42 am

Vicuna

Then what's causing all the fainting, hmmm?

11:42 am

FMitch

my chat froze up there for a few mins :(

11:42 am

Uniquity

Why is is that only my complaints about chat being eaten get through and not the other things?

11:42 am

mama2maddie

maybe its time for a beer..

11:42 am

LoriP

***has to go look up 'courvoisier', as I have a doctorate only in fainting.

11:43 am

BlueAndAmy

owie is TOO a word.

11:43 am

Vicuna

Maybe you should add a complaint at the end of each comment. Then everything would make it through.

11:43 am

BlueAndAmy

Hmph.

11:43 am

LoriP

TO, that's our, er I mean her Emma!

11:43 am

Vicuna

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

11:44 am

FMitch

Hey smaller long time no see

11:44 am

LoriP

G'd afternoon nan, Blue anyone I missed while passed out....

11:44 am

fuquayvarina

Hmm, malingering, I see. No more brandy for Lori

11:45 am

Vicuna

Back to smelling salts?

11:45 am

Uniquity

Lori needs to stop hitting the bottle...

11:45 am

BlueAndAmy

**fans lori** hello to you too :-)

11:45 am

LoriP

***thinks of the economy and faints for real***

11:45 am

Dorens

11:45 am

11:45 am

Dorens

11:46 am

fuquayvarina

ooh, thanks, dorens

11:46 am

Vicuna

Hello, Doren! Discussing Mr Armstrong now, are we?

11:46 am

LoriP

11:46 am

FMitch

Dorens keyboard is haunted?

11:46 am

BlueAndAmy

I would faint too, Lori, but I don't have health insurance and I'd hate to have to pay for a concussion treatment out-of-pocket

11:46 am

Uniquity

No more boozing in babble! **Puts up prohibition posters**

11:46 am

bfsog

who wants a joke? it is a bit cheeky so if you are easily offended i apologuse

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

hi doren

11:46 am

Dorens

11:47 am

Uniquity

*Loans one of my health insurances to blue* Come to Canada!

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

the economy would surely tank if allof the stealth babblers got caught

11:47 am

BlueAndAmy

Hahahaha TO

BlueAndAmy

11:47 am

Dorens

11:48 am

BlueAndAmy

Thanks, Uniquity... TRUST me the thought has occurred to me, at least a lot before the last election

11:48 am

Uniquity

LOL at bf..I am so un-PC.

11:48 am

fuquayvarina

I need one of those "boss buttons" so I can switch to a spreadsheet in a flash when I see him coming...

11:48 am

LoriP

***politically incorrect laughter at bf's joke***

11:49 am

Vicuna

Maybe someone should make a version of the Babble grid that looks like a spreadsheet.

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

fuq: do they really exist? *hoping*

11:49 am

BlueAndAmy

Hahaha... it is very un-pc, but I have a feeling that most of my gay male friends (and I have plenty) would find it funny too (of course, assuming it was presented in a harmless context, which it was here)

11:49 am

LoriP

Vic, do it and patent it. Your money troubles will be over....

11:49 am

bfsog

why vic?

11:49 am

Uniquity

Just hit the monitor power button and pretend you ar restarting because of a problem.

11:49 am

BlueAndAmy

ooooo fuq i think there's a setting on the new firefox

11:50 am

fuquayvarina

yes, I heard about some television network doing it for the NCAA tournament, because people are watching at work.

11:50 am

72 Temple Owl

no they come from the rear and can see it before you know they are there

11:50 am

Vicuna

To help all those who Babble secretly at work, bfsog.

11:50 am

bfsog

press alt + tab fuq

11:50 am

BlueAndAmy

it allows you to hide tabs and rename them and everything

11:50 am

fuquayvarina

11:50 am

suefrad625

BlueAndAmy

TO, next holiday/birthday, buy your boss some noisy jewelery or accessories

11:51 am

LoriP

lo 7 is a compound word beneath + opposite of death

11:51 am

Vicuna

lo7 - not high + not death, add the "one who" ending for lo8

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL yes it's march madness here for our friends across the pond

11:51 am

LoriP

Huh. Have used FF for years and got new one on download day...but never used alt tab.

11:51 am

FMitch

*slaps self with fish* how could I have missed that lo7

11:52 am

BlueAndAmy

:-) TO, I'll bet you could get your coworkers to go in on it with you

11:52 am

bfsog

firefox is amazing - another browser called Opera is good

11:52 am

72 Temple Owl

fm, use the al7.

11:52 am

Vicuna

You can use the al7 for your slapping needs, FM. It's a fish.

11:52 am

Uniquity

Opera doesn't work well if you have internet issues though, as I learned recently.

11:52 am

Vicuna

lol, TO! jynx!

11:53 am

72 Temple Owl

lol, vi. jinx!

11:53 am

bfsog

what issues uni? i am a firefox die hard fan but it and opera both use the same engine, meaning babble in firefox "will" render the same as in opera

11:53 am

FMitch

lol got the al7 just didn''t realise it was a fish

11:53 am

BlueAndAmy

hmmm vic & TO, can you maybe give me a little help with that one? I don't have it yet.......

11:53 am

suefrad625

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

11:54 am

Dorens

A road in Cambridge

11:54 am

Uniquity

For the last few months my internet has been slow (landlord had too many people on network). I could load babble in FF with many repeated attempts, but NEVER in opera. Babble still runs slow though, Dr G needs to do a mega upgrade.

11:54 am

Dorens

11:55 am

Vicuna

co8 - one with whom someone consults, or one on whom something is bestowed

3:00 pm

KatieMcG

sorry phone went. I am getting a bit more done but it is the end of the financial year at work so I tend to be working. The first couple of weeks I read more and did cross stitch for the first time in ages.

3:03 pm

westford

sounds nice and relaxing

3:03 pm

sammysmom

i think there was a clue given for the lo8-75 but i didn t undeerstand the last part of it with my fuzzy brain

3:05 pm

sammysmom

i undeerstand katie- i knit almost constantly- especially when i am waiting for people and on the net while i ruminate on words-lol

3:06 pm

westford

it describes a bum, a crumb, a dirty dog, a rat..usually is hyphenated

3:06 pm

westford

add an r to the end of the lo7

3:06 pm

sammysmom

last year i managed to "wait/knit" a sweater for every member of my family- all 14 of them

3:07 pm

westford

now that's using your time wisely

3:07 pm

westford

and warmly too!

3:08 pm

sammysmom

thanks west- gottem both

3:08 pm

Karys

sorry..phone... son just out of hospital !... I havn't done cross stitch for years, it's an idea !

3:09 pm

sammysmom

one year it was crocheted afghans for all of them and another it was scarves hats and mitten

3:09 pm

westford

karys is all well?

3:10 pm

Karys

yes...thank you west, he had pnuemonia? ...he is a kidney donor patient and it is going into failure now, but all is well.

3:11 pm

westford

sammy have you taught any of your kids or grandkids?

3:11 pm

Karys

Sammy...why are you waiting ?

3:11 pm

westford

thank goodness for that kar

3:11 pm

sammysmom

like when i take my daughter to the store and have to wait for her

3:12 pm

sammysmom

or at the doctors officde or whatever-.

3:12 pm

Karys

aah.. that sort of waiting.. I know !

3:12 pm

sammysmom

i was raised to believe that idle hands are the devil s worshop- that old new england morale-lol

3:13 pm

westford

we have a lot of those don't we like waste not want not

3:13 pm

Karys

I should try that...I could knit for them all too !

3:13 pm

sammysmom

yup and they will appreciate it so

3:13 pm

Karys

it was 'idle hands...idle mind' for me

3:14 pm

westford

so babble works for that

3:14 pm

sammysmom

yes west and i was raised with most of them as were most folks of my generation

3:15 pm

westford

I think we're from the same generation

3:15 pm

sammysmom

yes- i negver intended to get a pc but my daughter gavder me one for xmass several years ago and i have been hooked ever since

3:15 pm

Karys

I tell myself that babble keeps my mind active ( an excuse, probably)

3:15 pm

westford

not at all kar ( I use the same reasoning )

3:16 pm

sammysmom

no karys- it does keep the mind active and keeps dementia at bay- (i hope)

3:16 pm

Karys

good..isn't it ?

3:16 pm

westford

6:40 pm

hurshy

6:41 pm

westford

oodle are you getting all this?

6:41 pm

westford

I have wide-plank pine in 3 of my 4 rooms...

7:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i am not as tender hearted as you, hurshy, i fear.

7:18 pm

redturtlehead

I vote for Bamboo.

7:18 pm

pam

what's the matter, red?

7:19 pm

westford

daughter just did her whole house in cork

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

but bamboo is soft, so I take that vote back. tommy ache.

7:19 pm

hurshy

Bamboo is supposed to make great flooring. Not as easily scratched as pine

7:19 pm

pam

sorry about the tummy ache

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh doesn't smokey look good? he must be around 80

7:19 pm

hurshy

but it depends where the cottage is. if it is on the beach, not pine. pine is for woodsy.

7:20 pm

pam

I love the pine, too!

7:20 pm

westford

it's in Ogunquit but the cottage looks like a log cabin

7:20 pm

hurshy

7:26 pm

westford

7:26 pm

hurshy
