1:49 am

jillibus

1:49 am

Just1Mar

It's Victoria Day but not in Quebec, they would never allow a holiday to be named after the queen

1:58 am

jillibus

grrrr

1:58 am

Just1Mar

so they named it after a French explorer lol

1:59 am

westford

2:02 am

westford

2:02 am

westford

2:02 am

Just1Mar

anike

Any clues needed before I go?

2:03 am

Just1Mar

nah just coincidence on the name

2:03 am

Just1Mar

no thx anike the list is up

2:03 am

westford

I would like to know if the he9 begins with an organ

2:03 am

jillibus

well, most of the suburbs have French names

2:04 am

Just1Mar

Yeah that's true come to think of it, but I was thinking to myself the other day how all the downtown streets are English names

2:04 am

Just1Mar

yes westie it does

2:05 am

anike

yes west

2:05 am

Just1Mar

superlative suffix

2:05 am

westford

ty

2:05 am

jillibus

used to be more so -- Dorchester became Rene Levesque, St James became St Jacques, etc etc

2:05 am

westford

I thought it tried that

2:05 am

anike

I'm going then, see you all tomarrow

2:05 am

Just1Mar

yeah and Craig became St. Antoine

2:06 am

jillibus

Burnside became de Maisonneuve...

2:06 am

Just1Mar

and western was changed to de Maisonneuve too (the NDG part of it)

2:07 am

westford

there's a city in Toronto where everything is named after Wayne Gretske

2:07 am

Just1Mar

hubby has his store on Craig oops I mean St. A.

2:07 am

Just1Mar

Toronto is a city westie...

2:07 am

Just1Mar

you must mean Ontario

2:07 am

westford

yes

2:08 am

westford

we pass through it on the way to Michigan

2:08 am

Just1Mar

he played most of his Canadian part of his career in Edmonton so I always think he's an Albertan

2:08 am

jillibus

maybe the Gretzky city is in Alberta

2:09 am

Just1Mar

and now he's just another yankee

2:09 am

westford

he apparently is from this place wish I could remember the name

2:09 am

Just1Mar

Brantford?

2:09 am

jillibus

2:09 am

jillibus

2:10 am

westford

Brantford

2:10 am

Just1Mar

2:11 am

westford

Just1Mar

I don't see her on serpentine either

2:12 am

westford

2:12 am

Just1Mar

I figured out how the mousing works there west!

2:12 am

jillibus

hate to leave, but must -- not even halfway but did make NBT

2:13 am

westford

maybe I'll give it another shot then

2:13 am

Just1Mar

don't forget to take home a menu!

2:13 am

ursh

at last NBT - was battling with bottom T

2:13 am

Just1Mar

although I don't mouse anymore

2:13 am

jillibus

Thanks, guys, and good night -- babble well

2:13 am

westford

better than me jilli still looking for the lonely l

2:13 am

jillibus

it's musical, west

2:14 am

Just1Mar

so I shall tell you what to do: click the first letter...drag for the rest of the word....then click the last letter of the word and voila!

2:14 am

ursh

lonely L is a musician

2:14 am

westford

oh for goodness sake tyvm and NBT

2:14 am

Just1Mar

wtg west!

2:14 am

westford

I kept going up

2:15 am

westford

only took 2 hours lol

2:15 am

dart001

that would be hard justy...after always clicking and dragging without having to click the last letter

2:16 am

Just1Mar

well in the old boggle you had to click each letter...this is kinda the same as tangle execpt for having to click the last letter

2:16 am

jillibus

PB for just (yes, I'm going)

2:17 am

dart001

when you're going fast though and used to the other way...would be hard to change

2:17 am

westford

I never played the old boggle I remember when it was shut down and they all came over

2:17 am

westford

lol jilli

2:17 am

dart001

lol jilli

2:17 am

Just1Mar

right west such as me

2:17 am

westford

oh I thought you were there from the beginning

2:18 am

Just1Mar

well I suppose so dartie but how used to the mousing can you be now since it's been down for almost 1 1/2 yrs?

2:18 am

dart001

I was at lycos..then had to move to playsite when lycos shut down

2:18 am

westford

seems longer than that

2:18 am

dart001

i mouse the sa4 at scramble at FB

2:19 am

westford

maybe I'll join FB after all

2:19 am

Just1Mar

I actually was playing scrabble blast (quick 2 or 3 minute) scrabble games...but that game was always down so went to boggle

2:19 am

dart001

the only problem with scramble is....you only get about 15 secs between games

2:19 am

Just1Mar

then that kept going down (bad servers) and people were talking about TW so I just went there

2:20 am

westford

this one is definitely the best for chatting

2:20 am

Just1Mar

yeah that's the tough part about scramble plus the very small sized grid..for me

2:20 am

Just1Mar

lots of chatting at serpentine...1 minute between each round

2:20 am

dart001

you can go to the 5X5 grid and 4 letter minimum

2:21 am

Just1Mar

that's where I play...can't handle those 3 letter words

2:21 am

dart001

exactly the sa4 as TW...except 3 minute rounds and a shorter break

2:22 am

Just1Mar

yep the serpentine is only 2 min rounds

2:22 am

westford

saw a lot of the old gang when I went tried playing but without the mouse I was hopeless

2:23 am

dart001

i can't type fast and accurate..so I have to mouse

2:23 am

Just1Mar

not much action there after about midnight

2:23 am

westford

no aussies?

2:24 am

Just1Mar

some but they're mostly low ranked so you lose a sh**load of pts lol

2:24 am

dart001

guess not

2:25 am

westford

any hackers like the ones who would score 8000 points

2:25 am

Just1Mar

no, none at all

2:25 am

westford

that's good used to drive me up the wall in Tangle

2:25 am

dart001

mousillini

2:26 am

Just1Mar

tanglers are still finding it now even tho it's been up since the fall

2:26 am

Just1Mar

several of the very good players are there but they don't play for long stretches...they found other sites where they play competitively

2:26 am

westford

dee mentioned another one but I haven't tried it yet

2:26 am

westford

wordrampage

2:27 am

dart001

2:27 am

Just1Mar

2:27 am

westford

I don't know

2:27 am

westford

let me find the url

2:27 am

lynxxx

WeBoggle is now Wordsplay

2:27 am

Just1Mar

http://weboggle.info/ slow loading site but looks good

2:27 am

westford

wordrampage.com

2:27 am

lynxxx

Hello all

2:28 am

gortmold

just1, the weboggle site is actually wordsplay

2:28 am

westford

hello lyn

2:28 am

Just1Mar

oh really? I'm don't know wordsplay

2:28 am

Just1Mar

hi lynxxx

2:29 am

gortmold

it doesn't keep rankings, you can change your game name as often as you want; you just jump in and out

2:29 am

lynxxx

Wordsplay is good...quick and fast, good timekiller

2:29 am

Just1Mar

oh well they gave that url that I put out and you get to the site

2:29 am

Just1Mar

oh so you don't even have to register?

2:29 am

gortmold

you can play in teams on wordsplay, but if you're cool, you avoid teams with religious or political titles

2:30 am

Just1Mar

wow really? lol

2:30 am

lynxxx

Free - just register your email on entry

2:30 am

gortmold

you have a login

2:30 am

Just1Mar

I see but then everytime you play you can type in whatever name you want?

2:30 am

lynxxx

Yes

2:30 am

gortmold

yup. i am gortmold, insomniac, or sdokngsahj

2:31 am

Just1Mar

lol okay! so you can choose a room depending on whose is there?

2:31 am

dart001

gonna head out...nite all

2:31 am

Just1Mar

nite dart....why don't you...

2:31 am

lynxxx

bye Dart

2:31 am

gortmold

there's only 2 rooms - 4 word or 3 word min

2:32 am

Just1Mar

go to the site ...one room is always empty...try the mousing see if you like it

2:32 am

Just1Mar

oh everyone is in the same room?

2:32 am

dart001

always forget...got them both bookmarked now....bye lynxxx just1 pooof

2:32 am

gortmold

yeah. no rankings, you can play up to 100 poeple at a time

2:33 am

o-o

who are the arbiters of what is cool?

2:33 am

Just1Mar

wow and is it like boggle where only the words that you got that nobody else did, count?

2:33 am

gortmold

just 1 arbiter - me

2:33 am

lynxxx

I'll bite, who babRab. and Hi

2:34 am

lynxxx

No Just, they all count, the larger the more points

2:34 am

Just1Mar

the religious and politic teams on wordsplay !

2:34 am

gortmold

it gives you a list of all possible words, and highlights the ones you got

2:35 am

Just1Mar

so it's more like scramble then? in the scoring, I mean?

2:35 am

gortmold

you can click on another player's name to find out what they got

2:35 am

gortmold

dunno why you'd do that, but you can

2:35 am

Just1Mar

I'll check it out..thx for the info

2:35 am

lynxxx

There is a Babbleteam there occasionally - not often anymore though. perhaps you can start it up again

2:36 am

Just1Mar

not sure...with the hours I keep! lol

2:36 am

gortmold

you can jump aboard any other team as long as they haven't put a lock on it

2:36 am

Just1Mar

so if you're playing teams then you're in a different room?

2:36 am

Just1Mar

oh I see

2:37 am

lynxxx

No, same room

2:37 am

gortmold

i like jumping on a team that's flagging and has a loser name

2:37 am

Just1Mar

oh so if you're not on a team, then what?

2:38 am

gortmold

some people get bummed because they're being beaten by whole teams of people, but if you're a good player, one person can beat a team

2:38 am

Just1Mar

lol...k will see what it;s about this w/e

2:38 am

gortmold

you just have to decide if you can handlle being thrashed by a group or prefer an individual one-at-a-time thrashing

2:39 am

Just1Mar

hmm toughie..

2:39 am

gortmold

personally, if i'm going to be thrashed, i prefer it to be done by a group

2:39 am

lynxxx

I'm thrilled if I can reach halfway on the list!

2:40 am

Just1Mar

oh lynxx you will...lots of goodies hidden in there

2:40 am

Just1Mar

so that way gort you have a good excuse

2:40 am

lynxxx

no, I meant on Wordsplay

2:41 am

gortmold

less bruising for the nerdy wordy ego, jus

2:41 am

Just1Mar

ohh really? you play 4 letter min. or 3?

2:41 am

Just1Mar

yep, I hear ya

2:42 am

lynxxx

joshuavorbis

i'm always up late, kje

2:49 am

joshuavorbis

if i lived in the marshall islands i'd be on a perfect schedule

2:49 am

joshuavorbis

but i don't, unfortunately for me and the marshall islands

2:50 am

kje

or maybe good for the marshall islands?

2:50 am

joshuavorbis

they want me on that island. they need me on that island.

2:50 am

kje

until they vote you off

2:52 am

joshuavorbis

my ace in the hole is my overall friendly demeanor

2:52 am

joshuavorbis

everyone loves a nice guy

2:53 am

kje

nope - the nice guy finishes last

2:53 am

kje

as I am learning once again

2:53 am

joshuavorbis

i know. everyone will leave the island before me

2:53 am

joshuavorbis

that sucks

2:56 am

joshuavorbis

the person that didn't choose the nice guy is a real la5

2:56 am

joshuavorbis

i vote them off the island first

2:56 am

kje

but they already voted you off.... so that will not work

2:57 am

joshuavorbis

i refuse to acknowledge their vote

2:57 am

kje

delusion works for many josh

2:58 am

joshuavorbis

that must be why it's so popular

3:01 am

joshuavorbis

i'm a bit loopy from visiting the family today

3:01 am

joshuavorbis

my delusion is that today didn't happen

3:02 am

kje

why? you drink a lot when you go home?

3:02 am

joshuavorbis

no, the opposite, usually

3:02 am

kje

why loopy?

3:03 am

joshuavorbis

because it feels like stepping in a time machine

3:03 am

kje

in a good way or bad?

3:03 am

rolin

i have to say..sometimes enable's inconsistencies annoy me

3:04 am

joshuavorbis

in both ways

3:04 am

lynxxx

wow Josh, that is so right! I had never thought of it that way before

3:04 am

3:06 am

rolin

3:06 am

joshuavorbis

younger by 3 and 7 years

3:06 am

joshuavorbis

but i have the most hair already

3:07 am

lynxxx

Can't comment Rolin - no 9s

3:07 am

kje

i think from this point on... the point is to keep the hair

3:07 am

dinok

lol josh, careful now, hair today...!

3:07 am

kje

the other word uses the r twice

3:07 am

rolin

well i only have that one..and im cross i cant have the related 8..lol

3:07 am

joshuavorbis

oh, i'm doomed. i already know that. but my brothers had an even quicker fate than i

3:08 am

rolin

up to you, D-D

6:00 am

elder

Dawg, entirely up to you. But the money we paid keeps helps to keep the site up and running.

6:00 am

FMitch

Do you still have the tile stats etc showing D-D?

6:00 am

D-Dawg

nope : /

6:00 am

elder

and after a while you will loose the stats/tiles.

6:01 am

FMitch

If you enjoy the game w/o them then be happy.

6:02 am

FMitch

Personally I couldn't do it w/o them but I was glad to pay the one charge all those years ago (can't believe how long I have been babbling)!

6:02 am

D-Dawg

and you pay $14.95 once, you dont need to keep paying?

6:02 am

FMitch

It is a one off payment and that is it.

6:02 am

sprite

only once for a life-long pro-dom

6:02 am

herinfernallady

thats right

6:03 am

D-Dawg

hmm. I'm tempted. But dont know how to convince my dad it's worth it

6:03 am

sprite

tell him it works miracles for your knowledge of the english language :)

6:03 am

FMitch

Tell him it expands the brain and your vocabulary and it is a safe site to be part of.

6:03 am

elder

Dawg.. the learning/knowledge you gain.

6:04 am

D-Dawg

might work. Ahhwell,

6:04 am

sprite

however, you can play all you like for free and don't feel bad about it. Doesn't make a difference for the chat either.

6:04 am

Atalante

not a jot. but the tile stats do help. a lot.

6:04 am

D-Dawg

6:04 am

herinfernallady

6:05 am

FMitch

6:09 am

FMitch

*grin*

6:10 am

elder

6:10 am

sprite

FMitch

Oh heck and the t next to it, darn it.
Darnit and heck, words I would not usually use when looking for expetives!

6:12 am

sprite

herinfernallady

6:14 am

sprite

aw poor FM, I am ever so sorry!

6:14 am

FMitch

6:39 am

FMitch

ROFL

6:40 am

it was the muffler shop calling. doug had gone to get it fixed. so i thought maybe it was him, forgetting his cell. they said, hi, this is XXX muffler, is doug there? "ummmm, no, he's out getting his muffler fixed...i thought!" turns out they had two numbers, and thought they were calling his cell to tell him it was done.

soooo, from that came Data and his brother Lore

7:07 pm

westford

I'm counting 5 any more?

8:03 pm

8:03 pm

8:04 pm

jmcnrick

I guess I am a bad auntie

8:04 pm

westford

8:04 pm

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

I am trying to rescue him and get him to adulthood. He is 21 and a college junior, double majoring in History and Adolescent Education. He just got a 3.68 GPA this semester.

8:05 pm

outstanding scrab!!

8:05 pm

DR1965

WOW_ Awesome Scrabs!

8:05 pm

PAV3

it was a bit weird at New Year's when my mom told us 6 kids we had two new brothers, since one cousin no longer has either parent, and the other usually is with us anywhooo, both were only-children...later on my mom was scolded by the eldest aunt for trying to take her son "away"

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

I am proud of him, and he is sticking with a job at a hardware store.

8:06 pm

westford

pav I'd love to meet your mother she sounds like a living saint

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

As for the 2 younger brothers, I wish I could do more, especially for the 15 yr old but he has chosen to live with his alcoholic father.

8:07 pm

westford

probably because 'dad' doesn't pay any attention to him and for a 15 year old that's a good thing

8:07 pm

westford

kids need guidelines

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

I saw kid in the office today, one of 3 brothers. The parents have been foster parents for several years. In July they will adopt 3 biological sisters, ages 17, 15 and 12. I told her how much I admire her and her husband.

8:08 pm

PAV3

just keep reminding him you're there and it might stick Scrabs

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

And, westford, my nephew feels that he must "take care" of his father.

8:08 pm

westford

he sounds like a caring boy

8:09 pm

Scrabbler

But truancy has caused him to fail a second year of high school.

8:09 pm

westford

as for the family adopting 2 teens and 1 almost teen girls my heart goes out to them

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

sounds like someone should introduce him to alanon

8:09 pm

westford

girl*

8:09 pm

Scrabbler

Maybe I will have info mailed to him.

8:09 pm

PAV3

caring, yes...but at some point he must live like the youngster he is...kids grow up too fast these days and take on the world...

8:10 pm

Scrabbler

The foster mother said these 3 sisters are amazingly OK given their past.

I know that others can ba 5/14 in the glow of finishing,but not me.I bl5/16 my hubby partly for not being able to finish grid. He bl 6/27 me for neglecting other responsibilities. He thinks that Babble is so la 4/5. I believe his baseball games are la 5/12. Sometimes he wishes he could put a bu 6/27 in my computer.But bu7/40 won't stop me.I will just go to the library.He can be such a br4/6 sometimes.We are both br 5/14 when we get into our spats and yell in each other's ea4/4.We have the sa4/5 argument. We usually end up just ignoring eachother. I bl 5/14 the tv to ignore him and he will just bl5/14 the radio to ignore me. One time he bl 4/10 a speaker. I'm not sm 5/12 enough to not let him get to me. Now my bu 4/7 is sore from sitting here all day long.I just st4/4 at the grid and see mumble jumble now.I believe I am done babbling for the re 4/4 of the night. My ge 4/7 and I are going to bed now. Still not we 4/8 because of allergies.Goodnight to all babblers.See you manana
