re+ to give a heads up should be a word IMO

4:05 pm

cybernan

especially when re + victory is accepted!

4:06 pm

But moot now anyway, as lbd got the word.

4:08 pm

4:09 pm

jmcnrick

4:09 pm

Vicuna

Though today my son said he'd like to see a cat that looked like a rhinocerous, so if that could work, why not a goose with a horn.

4:09 pm

jmcnrick

Vicuna

You are a goose, Ata. =P

4:10 pm

Atalante

6:29 pm

Atalante

sily is mewiest LOL

6:30 pm

hurshy

and yet sn5 counts, when really it's just an acronym.

6:30 pm

hurshy

enable is so strange.

6:30 pm

Dorens

such is enable!

6:30 pm

periwinkle

and don't forget Zoe-Anne she is a mewer too

6:30 pm

Atalante

and the sk5/whatever. that has no defintiion

6:30 pm

Atalante

6:37 pm

periwinkle

Doughnuts tix?

6:37 pm

Uneaixoise

6:37 pm

Uneaixoise

"Superior Doughnuts," TO

6:38 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, dorens, i was horrified! LOL

6:38 pm

Dorens

no this will be a first. She is three, but a superior three, naturally (i take no credit... it is her parents)

6:38 pm

hurshy

i love the nutcracker

6:38 pm

Uneaixoise

cool :-)

6:39 pm

Uneaixoise

i remember listening to the 78 and leaping around the house LOL

6:39 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, i'm a geezer

6:39 pm

Dorens

me too hursh, but i think i'll be more entranced this time watching her. same here... my mom still talks about my leaping

6:39 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

6:39 pm

Dorens

i'm going up there tomorrow and bringing her the book, so she will be well-prepped by the time we see it

6:40 pm

Uneaixoise

excellent!

6:40 pm

Uneaixoise

ok, taking a break with 18 to go -- this thing is endless!

6:40 pm

Dorens

it is indeed une.. but i'm down to 6 so I can't leave now

6:41 pm

Atalante

6:41 pm

Dorens

jacula has one, thank goodness

6:44 pm

Dorens

6:45 pm

speedfreak

6:46 pm

Dorens

ke + ***e, a citrus fruit

6:47 pm

hurshy

which she put in babanon as well as her stats.

6:47 pm

speedfreak

do not know what is wrong with me but still cannot see it sorry

6:48 pm

hurshy

ata, it is technically my turn to start lexulous but i felt sort of bad doing so after the last game...

6:49 pm

speedfreak

Got It DUH

6:49 pm

Atalante

lol go for it

6:49 pm

speedfreak

wow only have 90 left

6:50 pm

Atalante

malefice was amazing!

6:53 pm

hurshy

i didn't even see how many points it was until i played it

6:53 pm

Atalante

did you faint?

6:53 pm

hurshy

i think a little!

6:53 pm

Atalante

I bet

6:55 pm

Scrabbler

Tell me about this big word play!

6:55 pm

hurshy

8 ltr bingo on two reds

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

Point total?

6:56 pm

Atalante

256 or something!

6:56 pm

hurshy

256?

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

*holding breath--these are always big, big plays!*

6:56 pm

Scrabbler

*GASP* Wow! Wow! Wow! What was the word?

6:57 pm

Atalante

malefice

6:57 pm

hurshy

see, ata had played owt

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

M, F + C added more points. Nice entry for your word game diary, Hurshy

6:58 pm

harpjane

hello 205 to go

6:58 pm

hurshy

and probably didn't realize what i discovered - there are a good number of -owt words

6:58 pm

hurshy

and i had a blank

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

270 to go for me, but I am just here to unwind and relax.

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

I know nowt

6:59 pm

hurshy

so i tried various things for my blank to see what i could fit around it

6:59 pm

Atalante

I knew you would, but my letters were horrid

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

So was it mowt, fowt or cowt?

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

Or lowt?

7:00 pm

inge

is there anothre clue list besides zoozoom? His seems to have sevreal errors

7:00 pm

Atalante

lowt I think

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Inge!

7:00 pm

hurshy

and when i was trying with L, i suddenly had a 'click' and thought if benefice and maleficent were words, malefice should be too

7:00 pm

hurshy

the babanon one seems to be accurage, inge

7:01 pm

hurshy

and it was!

7:01 pm

harpjane

inge, jacula has a complete clue list

7:02 pm

inge

Hi Scrabbler, I am a very disgusted babbler. Should have checked wether there was a clue list. I trsuted likcety to be dependable.

7:02 pm

hurshy

interestingly enough, though, while lexulous took lowt, enable does not recognize it as a word.

7:02 pm

Scrabbler

Once a friend played SHALIEST for a TW-TW-Bingo--150 pts to win the game in her last turn.

7:02 pm

inge

OK I am checking babanon, Wasnt thre earlier

7:03 pm

Atalante

can I totally change the subject for a moment and ask scrabs something suitably gory and medical?

7:03 pm

hurshy

ooh, please do!

7:03 pm

Scrabbler

Sure, Ata!

7:03 pm

Atalante

yay! well. sister is in hospital

7:03 pm

Atalante

there's a surprise

7:03 pm

Boobear

hi all

7:03 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, another awful wound?

7:04 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Boobear

7:04 pm

Atalante

nope - she's got to have a blood transfusion. Normally they do a cut down into her neck to get the line in

7:04 pm

hurshy

i didn't think she was allowed to come out of hospital

7:04 pm

Atalante

blood transfusions should be so easy ...

7:04 pm

Atalante

so. they took her to theatre and did a cut-down. 2 surgeons couldn't get a line into her neck. Nor then in her groin. They now don't know what to do to get the blood into her!

7:04 pm

harpjane

me7?

7:05 pm

Scrabbler

But she has veins! Why can't they find the vein?

7:05 pm

hurshy

good heavens!

7:05 pm

Atalante

her veins all pretty much all collapsed and dead

7:05 pm

hurshy

me7 - relating to skin pigment

7:06 pm

Atalante

in every extremity. sigh,.

7:06 pm

Scrabbler

But she has blood circulating into her extremities, right?

7:06 pm

hurshy

so what ARE they going to do with her next?

7:06 pm

Atalante

so now they are trying to decide which is more dangerous - to take her back into theatre and cut down to her chest, or leave her without a transfusion

7:07 pm

DR1965

Poor thing!

7:07 pm

Atalante

kind of ... she has gangrene in her toes and pretty much no circulation there. her hands are a bit better, but not much

7:07 pm

hurshy

how awful

7:07 pm

DR1965

has anyone seen Trif today?

7:07 pm

Scrabbler

Then she needs a CVL--central venous line--placed into her SVC (superior venous catheter). And she needs a super academic multidisciplinary evaluation!

7:07 pm

Atalante

yes ... she does. but of course they don't want to do it cos it's another wound to go horribly wrong!

7:08 pm

Atalante

but then so is not having enough blood. another one of her lose:lose situations

7:09 pm

hurshy

what happens if you eat blood? would some of it find its way into your veins?

7:10 pm

Atalante

nooooooo

7:10 pm

Atalante

unless you're a vampire andthen who knows

7:10 pm

hurshy

just trying to think outside the box...

7:11 pm

Atalante

it's a real shame that wouldn't work

7:11 pm

Scrabbler

You can absorb iron from blood--meat.

7:11 pm

Atalante

that's true

7:12 pm

Atalante

I guess that wasn't really a question, was it? More a "oh gosh, look what's happened NOW!"

7:13 pm

hurshy

but when people have collapsed veins or arteries don't they usually do an angioplasty balloon thing? why didn't they do that and THEN put the blood in when they had her in the surgery?

7:13 pm

Atalante

good question

7:14 pm

hurshy

like a funnel

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

I do not understand why the docs gave up--she has veins, they ARE there.

7:15 pm

Atalante

well she had her consultant, the head of A&E and the chief anaesthesiologist trying for 2 hours LOL Not entirely sure why the nice anaeth. guy was trying, but ...

7:15 pm

Atalante

they always have huge trouble getting lines into her

7:15 pm

Scrabbler

And if she has gangrene--she needs IV antibiotics, surgical debridement, etc

7:16 pm

hurshy

what's A&E when it's not busy being Arts & Entertainment?

7:16 pm

Atalante

accident and emergencies

7:16 pm

Atalante

your ER

7:16 pm

hurshy

ah

7:16 pm

Atalante

she does ... and it sorts it out kind of ... then it comes back ... repeat for years. I don't know the details there though.

7:17 pm

Scrabbler

I don't get it, Ata.

7:17 pm

Atalante

she's a medical freak

7:18 pm

Atalante

I've sat there often enough while consultants tell her these things. Otherwise I wouldn't get it either. I mean, I still don't really, but I've seen the doctors just not be able to *do* anything

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

She needs to see more specialists--she needs more testing.

7:18 pm

Atalante

she does, but there's no-one left for her to see in the UK

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

She needs Dr Gregory House!

7:19 pm

Atalante

she REALLY does

7:19 pm

hurshy

except i don't think the diagnostics are the problem

7:19 pm

Atalante

I'd love her to go over to the US and get different opinions, but she can't fly

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

The UK docs need to consult with global specialists--they need to do that!

7:19 pm

hurshy

i mean, i suppose it is possible there is some root condition that they could treat, but...

7:20 pm

Atalante

but - really - are there specialists in a variety of Crohn's that no-one's ever recorded before? That's their latest opinion anyway *facepalm*

7:20 pm

inge

can someone give me a clue for the ke words please?

7:20 pm

hurshy

ke + out on a ***b

7:21 pm

harpjane

what you fire pottery

7:21 pm

Scrabbler

Autoimmune issues, digestive problems, malnutrition, etc---her docs must not give up.

7:21 pm

inge

lthans tthanks hurshy

7:21 pm

cdd

thx hurshy

7:21 pm

cdd

weme

7:21 pm

Atalante

they aren't. they keep poking at her, and her 4 specialists and her GP had a big day long conference about her a few weeks ago!

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

Good! That is calming me down now.

7:22 pm

hurshy

i wonder... i mean, i'm at yale, and i know some docs - probably none of them would be the kind you need but maybe they know who is and maybe could ask the right docs to help - i mean, somebody's bound to be going to england for a conference or something

7:23 pm

Atalante

oooo

7:23 pm

Scrabbler

experts do travel globally to give talks

7:23 pm

Atalante

but, really, they are stuck. they can keep her alive, and vaguely well, but they can't improve her condition, and it's continually going downhill. But I don't honestly think she will get better, however brilliant the doctors are.

7:24 pm

hurshy

how long do they think she has if they don't figure something out?

7:24 pm

Scrabbler

behcet's disease?

7:24 pm

Shirlockc

i just had some English Huntsmen cheese and my upper lip swelled -- has this happened to anyone else?

7:25 pm

Atalante

they've looked into behcet's before and discarded it. I think it fits pretty well though

7:25 pm

hurshy

no, you know what she needs if it's a wound thing - she needs bacteriaphages. she needs to go to... where is it, romania?

7:25 pm

hurshy

or is it bacteriophages? phages, anyway.

7:25 pm

Scrabbler

Shirlock--just your upper lip?

7:25 pm

Shirlockc

yep, inside of my upper lip

7:26 pm

Atalante

that's a fairly impossible question. she could quite easily be dead tomorrow. she's been revived 3 times now. and been very near death more times than that. On the other hand, she could live for a good while if verything stays under control

7:26 pm

hurshy

scrabbler, where do they do the phages?

7:26 pm

Atalante

yes, that happens to me with strong cheese

7:26 pm

Scrabbler

Ata, when I was a resident we had a teen that ended up being diagnosed with Behcet disease. He died several yrs ago in his mid-20's

7:26 pm

Atalante

ick :(

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

very sharp cheese?

7:27 pm

Shirlockc

k, so not something i need to worry about (cheese) and i wouldn't have to throw out the rest of the yummy cheese?

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

Does it taste ok, Shirlock?

7:27 pm

Atalante

don't throw it out!

7:27 pm

Scrabbler

Hurshy, I don't know

7:27 pm

Shirlockc

cheese was pretty scrumptious

7:28 pm

Shirlockc

was looking for wensleydale (wallace + gromit) with lemon (very very scrumptious) but they didn't have it, so got this english huntsman

7:28 pm

Atalante

wensleydale is the *best*

7:28 pm

hurshy

it's eastern europe

7:29 pm

Shirlockc

whole foods sell these "end" bits of cheese, which is great as i get to try all these diff. flavors

7:30 pm

Shirlockc

they had this "stilton" with lemon, totally awesome

7:30 pm

hurshy

you can't get them in the west because they're organic and the way they work best is in individually tailored combinations and so you can't really get FDA approval for it. but it's so much better than drug antibiotics because they adapt and evolve along with the bacteria that they are eating, instead of the bacteria just developing resistance to a drug.

7:30 pm

Atalante

I love places that do that. I get meat ends from my farm shop. gorgeous bits of ham and yummy things

7:30 pm

hurshy

it's ironic that the very thing that makes them so awesome and have so much potential is the very thing that prevents them from being used here.

7:31 pm

Shirlockc

interesting atalante, didn't know that about wensleydale

7:32 pm

hurshy

some doc in texas brought some back from eastern europe to treat one of his patients who had a wound healing problem and had no other options

7:32 pm

Atalante

wow!

In Russia, mixed phage preparations may have a therapeutic efficacy of 50%. This equates to the complete cure of 50 of 100 patients with terminal antibiotic resistant infection. It also seems likely that this is due to individual choices in admixtures and ineffective diagnosis of the causative agent of infection.

9:11 pm

flosey

9:17 pm

Jacula

My last word of the grid (some hours ago now) was wa8/95.

9:18 pm

Jacula

It describes many of the size MINUS zero fashion models around now.

9:19 pm

Jacula

...and certainly doesn't describe me in the hliday pics my partner's niece put on Faceebook! I look like a blooming teletubby!

9:20 pm

Jacula

*hOliday pics

9:23 pm

Jacula

we6/42 is an interesting word. It's the sky or the vault of heaven. Sounds like your family are in good health.

9:23 pm

Jacula

I'll shut up now, since I appear to have cleared the chog.

9:24 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, jac :-)

9:24 pm

Jacula

Hey Une.:-)

9:25 pm

jillibus

No, jac -- love the we6, but immersed in the grid, morewords, and CNN

9:25 pm

nrkii

hi... sorry for quiet on my part... on phone with my mom

9:25 pm

Jacula

I was about to go an apply another coat of red nailvarnish to my talons ready for Vampires Rock concert later.

9:25 pm

LOL, I'm not really upset

9:30 pm

Jacula

I saw yur clue, too, nrkii.

9:30 pm

flosey

but thanks for drawing it to our attention nrk, will be more careful

9:31 pm

Jacula

I often turn the chog off when I'm just starting a grid, especially if clues are flying around. I'm subborn in wanting to do as much as I can for myself.

9:32 pm

Jacula

Also, if it's the first 3 hours after I've got up out of bed, I'm not generally very chatty.

9:32 pm

nrkii

I always keep the chog hidden until I get to last 20% or so

9:32 pm

flosey

I just ignore them jac, figure I'll get them eventually anyway

9:33 pm

Jacula

I like to see the chat as in general ifo about what's happening to who.

9:33 pm

Jacula

flosey? Ignore what?

9:33 pm

nrkii

okay, off mom-call and can focus on grid

9:34 pm

flosey

yes, me too

9:34 pm

flosey

ignore the big words that are flying in right after flip

9:35 pm

Jacula

Oh, I see Flosey. LOL. But once seen, I can't forget... unless it's something I was just about to do, or just about to say, or just went upstairs for...

9:35 pm

Jacula

:-(

9:36 pm

dcseain

hah! tom had a whistling tea kettle on, and the cat went to find the noise like she goes after mice

9:36 pm

Jacula

I hope she didn't pounce on it, dcs.

9:36 pm

dcseain

no, she stays off the stove, happily.

9:36 pm

JenMO16

can someone clue me on the last 162 words :0)

9:37 pm

Jacula

Our stupid cat doesn't.

9:37 pm

flosey

shall we just type them in Jen?

9:37 pm

Uneaixoise

FIREWORDS for moi and FYI here's an excellent article (already!) about Major Hasan: http://tinyurl.com/ydfthjm

9:37 pm

JenMO16

sounds good to me, but i probably have the ones you clue!

9:37 pm

dcseain

she was asleep on my lap and making me hot. so i'm glad she got up

9:37 pm

snags

I don't know about Jen,, but it's ok with me!!

9:38 pm

Jacula

Well done, Une.

Jacula

Jen - I know. So was I.

9:39 pm

Jacula

'Night, Une.

9:39 pm

JenMO16

but i don't know which 162 words i am missing!

9:40 pm

Jacula

Then you'll either have to peer at the grid harder, Jen, or open a list. (There's one in my profile.)

9:40 pm

JenMO16

i am trying with morewords.com

9:40 pm

dcseain

lickety is up now

9:41 pm

9 left!

9:41 pm

JenMO16

i pick two letters or three and hyphens for the other letters and see what i get!

9:41 pm

JenMO16

go nrkii go!

9:41 pm

Jacula

dcs, I know, but he's got the wrong date on the list.

9:41 pm

dcseain

yes he does, because that was the date where he is when he posted it. But i agree, it's confusing.

9:41 pm

Jacula

That could cause mayhem after the flip!

9:42 pm

Pinikula

but it still works! :)

9:42 pm

Pinikula

hi all

9:42 pm

dcseain

hi, pini

9:42 pm

Jacula

Hi pini.

9:42 pm

Pinikula

I think it's because it's already the 6th in Oz...

9:42 pm

nrkii

hi pini!

9:43 pm

flosey

hi Pini - was just sent the cutest pic of William, will post it for tomorrow until I come up with a word from the grid

9:43 pm

Pinikula

this is yet another grid that is killing me! :)

9:43 pm

Jacula

I saw MrP (Lickety's wife) saying something earlier on Facebook about having a stalker. Anyone know what that's all about?

9:43 pm

Pinikula

awesome, flosey! can't wait!!

9:43 pm

flosey

me too, am more than tired of it

9:44 pm

dcseain

oh, dear, jac

9:44 pm

nrkii

dunno much, but I believe the police are involved Jac

9:44 pm

Jacula

pini/flosey - you're supposed to do the grid for pleasure. If you're not enjoying it, leave it.

9:45 pm

flosey

lol, it's about adiction Jac!!

9:45 pm

Jacula

nrkii - Really? |That doesn't sound good.

9:45 pm

flosey

and I enjoy the chat

9:45 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I know, jac...but it's also an excellent challenge!

9:45 pm

nrkii

Mr P is very freaked out about it

9:46 pm

Jacula

A net stalker or a real life stalker, nrkii?

9:46 pm

nrkii

I tried to reset the timing on our new central heating programmer earlier, but couldn't understand a word of the intruction leaflet and so have no idea what I've done.

9:50 pm

dcseain

9:50 pm

Jacula

I think I may have set it to either stay on forever or go off forever.:-((

9:50 pm

dcseain

you'll get the hang of it, jac

9:50 pm

dcseain

oh, the fan? That's separate from the heat

9:50 pm

Jacula

Will I, dcs?

9:51 pm

harpjane

9:51 pm

JenMO16

i need one more word and i will be over the halfway mark! how about an easy 8 letter word, please?

9:51 pm

Jacula

Careful with using the fan word, dcs, it might lead unwary Babblers to the fa7.36 comparative.

9:52 pm

Jacula

Hi, all, delaying the inevitable, have to remove my big pantry cabinet (and everything in it) and cut a hole in the wall back of it to get to a leaky pipe, sigh.

9:58 pm

Jacula

*should

9:59 pm

10:36 pm

Jacula

I don't know if you get the UK series 'Benidorm' in USA, or if you would 'get it' if you did. No slight on your intelligence, but you'd have to know the certain type of Brit who now goes there. Anyway, the series centres around a group of people who find themselves together there year after year, I love the gay couple best. The fat one got a brilliant put-down line in the last one I saw, after a woman far fatter than himself had callled him fat. He looked her up and down in a kind of intelligent but girly kind of way and then said, 'Fancy having such lovely brown hair and dying the roots grey!'. Then he tossed his head with what was left of his hair and walked away.

10:36 pm

11:09 pm

Jacula

(Not good to make a battle cry when you're about to go to bed, but what the heck!)

11:20 pm

stidmama

thanks for the re seain

11:20 pm

Jacula

The first lists were done by BrandyJack.

11:20 pm

stidmama

hm. because he can't find what he wants to eat? Or he finds what he wants and isn't allowed to eat it?

11:20 pm

jillibus

sorry, dc, not getting the rose clue

11:20 pm

dcseain

because he keeps dropping things, or overboiling things, or finding odd things...

11:20 pm

Jacula

A really nice guy who no longer seems to play now, He got pushed out, I think.

11:21 pm

dcseain

if one had cut a plant, and it sprouted there again, then it re6

11:21 pm

dcseain

11:21 pm

stidmama

a lot of people don't come much anymore Jacula -- lives get busy and people stop chatting, or only come at different times. I miss a lot of them.

11:22 pm

jillibus

11:23 pm

stidmama

11:23 pm

Jacula

I just get p*ssed of at times because no one ever seems to remember that BJ did the lists.

11:23 pm

jillibus

BJ was here when I arrived but everyone used Lickety and BJ must have decided he wasn't needed. He didn't chat much.

11:24 pm

dcseain

11:26 pm

stidmama

I am heading to halfway and then stopping. I am tired, it is late... and so much to start working on in the next couple days.

Locks99

can someone give me a hint on the ke workd?

11:30 pm

Jacula

Incidntally, when the first Babble grid went out not even Dr_God got all of the words. It took people like Sprite (whose first lanuage is Dutch) and myself, ferrari, bj and about 5 others to make sense of the grids. And so the Babblets were born.

11:30 pm

dcseain

ke5 - sort of like the kr6 in Russia, but anagram

11:31 pm

dcseain

then plural

11:31 pm

ke5 = Turkish rug. Ke + first 3 letters of the citrus fruit that is not a lemon.
