where can I find the dictionary that these words are compared against? Cuz I saw some really weird ones in the archive, I'd like to see what is in this supposed English dictionary.

Vertigus
where can I find the dictionary that these words are compared against? Cuz I saw some really weird ones in the archive, I'd like to see what is in this supposed English dictionary.
3:27 am
Vertigus
erm, why 2 entries? weird...
3:27 am
Haz1558
The dictionary is called ENABLE - perhaps you can google it?
3:28 am
lynxxx
and Babble is sensitive to touch, hence the double entry
3:28 am
lynxxx
Hello Haz and all
3:28 am
Vertigus
Thanks, I tried but the only site that looks remotely like it could be the one looks a bit dodgy, hehe
3:29 am
Haz1558
Do remember, it's just a game, no point in raging against a dictionary because it doesn't care.
3:29 am
Haz1558
Good evening, lynxx, morning to this side of the world.
3:30 am
rubyfoo
good morning everybody; we finally got a big snow AFTER all th snowbirds went home! LOL It's really beautiful
3:30 am
rubyfoo
hello hz and lynxx
3:30 am
Haz1558
Hello, ruby. We got more snow this morning and I'm feeling less happy about it!
3:31 am
lynxxx
hi Ruby, lovely to hear someone happy about snow
3:31 am
rubyfoo
It's easy for me, just won't go outside!
3:31 am

3:32 am
rubyfoo
and the birds are back, our true pensionaires
3:33 am
Haz1558
I'm glad, Vertigus, although we all understand the frustrations.
3:33 am
Vertigus
To be honest, I'm a computer programmer, and I suddenly got curious as to what algorithm can actually solve this game. I want to try to write one in C# as a mental exercise, but of course I need a dictionary for that to work.
3:34 am
Haz1558
Your best bet would be to write to Dr-God to find out exactly which version he uses. It's not the most up-to-date one.
3:34 am
lynxxx
You probably should speak to Lickety Vertigus - he has done it
3:41 am
Yvo
good morning Haz and all babblers,just want to wish one and all a healthy New Year,
3:42 am
rubyfoo
you, too, yvo!

Good morning, Yvo, Happy New Year to you as well!

hi Yvo, may 2010 be good to you and yours as well
3:45 am
Yvo
thank you kindly. we drove 1500 miles to escpe the Cod windy Icy Chicago for COOOOLd Florida ,just hope it wil get a little warmer, miss my swim
3:45 am
rubyfoo
I am not improving! 12 words so far and I'm barely limping forward
3:46 am
Haz1558
It's bound to heat up eventually, Yvo. How long are you staying?
3:47 am
Yvo
been here a week and had to heat on
3:47 am
Haz1558
ruby, try using the square technique. Find four likely letters in a square and see how many words you can get from it. Also there are quite a few palindromes in this grid, so you get two words for the price of one.
3:47 am
Haz1558
I do hope it improves, Yvo, It's still warmer than Chicago I take it?
3:47 am
rubyfoo
ty haz, I'll look for them
3:48 am
Yvo
rubyfoo please have fun with it i encouraged you in the beginning ,it reall will come easier soon
3:49 am
Haz1558
Good letter squares - s a e r. s r e e.
3:49 am
rubyfoo
I love it, don't mistake that, but it's much harder for me than lexuloous blitz
3:50 am
Haz1558
This is one of those grids where there are nice sequences and words within words. Just relax and let your eyes wander.
3:50 am
Yvo
its in the 50 tys it beat windchill 40 below
3:51 am
rubyfoo
my son goes to chicago from austin to work 4 days/week, 3 days/month
3:51 am
Haz1558
Goodness, no wonder you wanted to get out of Chicago! Hopefully it'll warm up soon. We got statistics yesterday to say that it was the coldest December here for 30 years, so you're not alone.
3:51 am
rubyfoo

5:56 am
mom2han8
ugh... have a good day...
5:57 am

If they had 2 ft of snow here, they'd declare a national emergency. We had 2 in one day last week and the mail didn't get through!

one of my students told me about when she went to visit Auschwitz, and it was bitter, bitter cold, and she was so distracted. she was chastising herself for complaining of the cold, and feeling like she should be understanding where she was, etc, but at the same time, she was really frigging COLD and it was painful, and she was hating it....

like hell it does triff,everyone else describes my boy as an angel,a perfect child,helping others..i really know he is a deamon spawn ascended from the seventh circle of hell;/
7:32 am
mom2han8
LOL Hego... and that's great Trif! I agree that it is often enlightening to hear others describe one's child.
7:33 am
mom2han8
LOL Crossy... that is how I feel when my kid is described as helpful and "a joy"....
7:33 am
crosshair
because it gets even worse when you realize that this behavior is just for you
7:33 am
bichon
When ever I went to parent/teacher conferences I always heard what a darling child he/she was. I never contradicted, but I certainly knew better.
7:33 am
mom2han8
I tell them to spend 15 minutes in my house, LOL.
7:34 am
mom2han8
My daughter tells me that she behaves as she does at home because she knows that she is unconditionally loved her (can anyone say "snowjob"?????)....
7:34 am
bichon
Kids would never talk to their friends the way they talked to us
7:34 am
crosshair
lol mom,i did one better,i quietly fired up the web cam and taped about an hour or so,put it in a flash key and sent it to school with him lol
7:35 am
mom2han8
I guess it is better for her to be her mean, evil self here, rather than out in public...
7:35 am
mom2han8
OMG... I would NOT want my kid to talk to me the way she talks to her friends. She is downright mean to them. Don't quite know why they hang on.... she has that Alpha female thing going on with them, LOL.
7:36 am
mom2han8
Crossy... believe me I have thought of doing it, but in the end I just let her be... I am sure I was, on occasion, no walk in the park.
7:36 am
crosshair
though i feel a tad sorry for the offspring this morning.it is blowing and howling out there.but it is only a 15 min walk
7:37 am
mom2han8
Mine has to walk home today... 5 blocks. She was carrying on as if I told her that she had to go out and dig ditches. And, luckily, she finally found her keys this morning or she would have been waiting outside for me for about 1/2 an hour.
7:37 am
crosshair
but good thing about in the house..it is not a democracy,it is a dictatorship and i am fidel;))
7:37 am
oodleberry
so what happened when you sent it to the school cross
7:37 am
bichon
I think girls are much more difficult to deal with than boys. Some of the things that came out of her mouth....
7:37 am
mom2han8
Initially she was refusing to bring her hat, scarf, mittens until I reminded her that 5 degrees may feel like below 0 this afternoon.
7:37 am
crosshair
the guidance councillor found it"enlightening"
7:37 am
mom2han8
OMG bichon... I agree.
7:38 am
mom2han8
I would never let the guidance counselor see my kid in action at home; it would reflect poorly on me somehow I am sure.
7:38 am
crosshair
i just told my boy to poke his head out the door..he ran for the hat and mitts
7:38 am
bichon
I know that when my granddaughter were born their mothers [my daughter and d.i.l.] were so happy. I just stayed muym
7:39 am
crosshair
lol,nothing like finding out on your own;0
7:39 am
mom2han8
I am one of four siblings, all girls... I don't know how my parents did it. We were terrible.
7:40 am
oodleberry
I think maybe he is going through a rebellious stage and sees you as a threat to his freedom and tests the boundaries to see how much he can get away with
7:40 am
Atalante
does everyone have guidance counsellors over there?
7:40 am
bichon
To this day I tell my daughter who has a daughter of her own some of the things she said to me and can't believe she would be so mean to her beloved mother
7:40 am
mom2han8
OMG Crossy, anytime my kid has ever had an issue at school (almost never) they always find some way to ask how things at home are, LOL... And these people know me very, very well... I am like, OMG you people know me!
7:40 am
crosshair
of that im sure oodles,i have already invited him to get a job and an apt while he still knows everything
7:41 am
oodleberry
and how old is he
7:41 am
crosshair
no ata,they are a rare thing and hard to get to see
7:41 am
oodleberry
I thought I knew everything when I turned 21... NOT
7:41 am
mom2han8
Bichon, recently my own mother heard my daughter in action and told her that I never spoke to my mother that way.... as for my other siblings, well.... so, it was nice to hear that I never actually uttered some of the things I am sure I must have been thinking in my twisted teenage mind.
7:41 am
hego
all of this sounds like normal development to me.
7:41 am
gran
re 7/32 and re 8/45 please
7:41 am
mom2han8
Our middle and high schools have guidance counselors as a matter of course.
7:41 am
Atalante
and what do they do? like life coaches for kids?
7:42 am
mom2han8
gran... think deer.. compound word... color + what a dog wags and its plural.
7:42 am
crosshair
if i had ever talked to my father the way my son talks to me,my head would be on backwards or he would shoot me for rabies
7:42 am
Atalante
mom to the PB!
7:42 am
oodleberry
ok I like your reverse psychology you use on hime
7:43 am
mom2han8
ATA.. I was on our local Board of Ed for several years... I, too, would like to know what they do... LOL! Though my daughter has a friend who speaks to the guidance counselor all the time and says that she has been very helpful to her (this kid has some real issues in addition to being an absolute drama queen).
7:43 am
gran
Thanks and finished!
7:43 am
mom2han8
OMG... ATa... did not realize. Sorry.
7:44 am
mom2han8
Congrats Gran.
7:44 am
Atalante
whatever happened to being able to go to your teacher if you had any issues! :)
7:44 am
mom2han8
It is all part of the process of growing up. In a few years she will be fine.
7:44 am
hego
I'm impressed gran!
7:44 am
mom2han8
Whatever happened to going to your parents if you had issues, LOL?
7:44 am
crosshair
sort of ata,more like really patient people who keep them pointed in the right direction in life and school when the child just thinks that parents are idiots
7:45 am
Atalante
lol even more true, mom!
7:45 am
hego
What does the 9 start with?
7:45 am
oodleberry
cause the teacher is an authority figure
7:45 am
Christine
Rhere's an old yiddish blessing/curse, "may you have children of your own one day".
7:45 am
mom2han8
My kid definitely talks to me, Thank God... my husband is often surprised by her conversations with me.... but I like to remind him that when she asked him what gay was he replied, "happy"... LOL.
7:46 am
Atalante
who is there in loco parentis
7:46 am
mom2han8
OMG Christine I have heard that... too true.
7:46 am
Atalante
I remember my mum trying to tell me what condoms were for when I was 18!
7:46 am
hego
No Chris, I hope you have a kid just like you one day, even better. :-)
7:47 am

Today my daughter always calls me up for parenting advice for my 2 y.o. g'daughter. I always inwardly chuckle
7:47 am
EvaNadine
mornin babblers!
7:47 am
mom2han8
Some kids use the guidance counselors, others use teachers or principals, etc... I guess it depends on the kid. Like I said, sometimes mine actually uses here actual parent!
7:47 am
crosshair
though i find that the boys in this age group seem to have a facination with the derrogetory slang terms for same sex couples
7:48 am
EvaNadine
how are we this morning?
7:48 am
crosshair
howdy eva
7:49 am
mom2han8
OMG Crossy... I was at school in the beginning of the year and heard several 13-year-old boys bandying about some really harsh terms... I rounded them all up and took them to the principal... I am so well liked now it is not even funny.... I explained to them, on the way to the office, that they would NEVER use certain words to describe women, blacks, asians, etc... so why was it acceptable to use derogatory terms for homosexuals???? Though I swear fat people are still fair game at all age levels.
7:49 am
crosshair
we are freezing with a fine cracked glaze:/
7:49 am
mom2han8
Good Eva... just venting about our children. Nothing new, LOL.
7:50 am
oodleberry
eva if I say I am doing fine then you are fine and if I say I am doing badly then you are doing badly? We is a collective word meaning you and I. :D
7:50 am
EvaNadine
unless you count fiances in the "children" category, i have none to complain about. :)
7:50 am
hego
They can count
7:51 am
EvaNadine
we are only as strong as our weakest link, are we not, oodle? ;)
7:51 am
mom2han8
Well, maybe someday Eva... the reason people encourage others to reproduce is because misery loves company, LOL.
7:51 am
Atalante
my husband actually asked me how to cook a jacket potato in a microwave yesterday
7:51 am
crosshair
well,the kid is not smoking,drinking or on drugs and has yet to bring a pregnant girlfriend home,so i should be thankfull
7:51 am
mom2han8
I count my husband in the children category some days.
7:51 am
mom2han8
Very true Crossy, but there is still time, LOL.
7:52 am
crosshair
shh mom
7:52 am
mom2han8
Ata... be thankful he had the wherewithal to give it a try.
7:52 am
Atalante
he didn't. he was sitting looking at the potato wonderingly
7:52 am
mom2han8
I actually came home from work last week when they were home and they had waited for me to feed them lunch... I was like, "you people must be kidding me"!
7:53 am
oodleberry
I really don't know if we would consider a weak link in our midst now would we eva. We are not amused. (*giggles*)
7:53 am
mom2han8
Oh, ok Ata... that makes far more sense.
7:53 am
Atalante
this is a man who has lived on his own for over 10 years. it's not as if he can't cook
7:53 am
hego
It was way easier to ask you, Ata.
7:53 am
crosshair
lol ata,i do all the cooking here,send your hubby over and ill show him chicken a la king and rigatoni a la vodka
7:53 am
EvaNadine
hints for the 9?
7:53 am
mom2han8
It was his way of passively asking you to make it for him, as I am sure you well know.
7:53 am
hego
And bacon ala anything!
7:53 am
bojazz
potatoes? microwave? what are you talking about?? lol
7:53 am
mom2han8
Don't have it Eva... too busy with the chog.
7:54 am
crosshair
lol hego
7:54 am
mom2han8
OMG Hego I was just going to say that.
7:54 am
Atalante
if he couldn't cook, I would help him. it's the fact he was obviously much more happy distrubing me from trying to finish an assignment than spend 2 microseconds considering the matter!

tr9 pt of tr7/28 (goofy word)
7:54 am
Atalante
yep, exactly mom!
7:54 am
mom2han8
My husband will not eat a microwaved potato.
7:55 am
mom2han8
I call it "learned helplessness" Ata....
7:55 am
crosshair
no bojazz,a microwave can come in handy with a good baked tater,you start them in the microwave for 6 minutes,turning them halfway,THEN you finish them off in the oven till they are nice and crispy..it cuts down the cooking time greatly
7:55 am
Atalante
I call it bloody annoying :P
7:55 am
oodleberry
how does he know if it is a micro wave potato if you mash them up???
7:55 am
hego
And why can't they ever find anything?
7:55 am
Atalante
exactkly, crossy. just speeds things up
7:55 am
oodleberry
SPEAKING OF WHICH
7:55 am
Atalante
don't shout, oodle
7:56 am

That goes without saying ATa... Crossy, that is brilliant... will try it and see if he can suss out that it was originally nuked.
7:56 am
crosshair
you save a good half hour mom;))
7:56 am
Atalante
you really can't, mom. nuke it for 6-7 mins, oven for 20

7:57 am
mom2han8
Hego.. many years ago I heard Marlo Thomas describing a fight she has with her husband, former talk show host Phil Donahue, regarding lost items... she tells him that she was born with ovaries and they do not come equipped with "lost things detectors"... I was peeing in my pants and use that line all the time.
7:57 am
crosshair

7:57 am
oodleberry

Of course, who found my daughter's lost keys this morning???
7:58 am

lol mom,it took me 20 years to realize that if you beat the campbell mushroom soup before you add the mild,you wont get a chunky mess lol
7:59 am
hego
Gotta get the lumps out
7:59 am
mom2han8
Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soups are the secret to all of my best cooking. I have recently branched out to Cream of Potato... LOL.
7:59 am
crosshair
indeed,crosy hates lumpy shrrom soup
7:59 am
mom2han8
I just use a whisk to get out the lumps... but will try the bang it on the counter method.
8:00 am

----still looking for goofy tr 7...
8:00 am
Atalante
ok, I'm going to go and make a ham sandwich then have a nap
8:00 am
crosshair
want a really good secret? when making a meatloaf,throw the crackers away and use a pouch of the stove top stuffing..it is amazing!
8:00 am
Atalante
tr7 ain't goofy - the tr9 from it is!
8:00 am
mom2han8
I have found 60 words in 3 hours and have much to do around this joint... so happy they are finally back at school/work... missed my routine.
8:00 am
mom2han8
Bye Ata.
8:01 am
Uneaixoise
that's exactly what I meant, ata :-)
8:01 am
mom2han8
I use breadcrumbs in my meatloaf... and I HATE stove top stuffing... but, I am sure it is a great tip for the cracker user Crossy.
8:01 am
Atalante
I know, just reaffirming it ;)
8:01 am
hego
That sounds great Crossy!
8:02 am
crosshair
you hate stove top stuffing?? GASP!
8:02 am
crosshair
i use the cornbread one all the time
8:02 am
Atalante
blasphemy, mom :) *really poofs*
8:02 am
hego
She must not like sage
8:02 am
mom2han8
I know.. I am weird. I don't know, there is some spice that I always taste that I really dislike... might be cilantro, which I feel ONLY belongs in Mexican food and, yet, it turns up in things all the time.
8:02 am
hego
Ata is fake poofing again
8:02 am
crosshair
the cornbread one has very little sage
8:03 am
mom2han8
I like sage... so, I don't think that is what it is. OK.. you will really hate me now... but I detest cornbread stuffing. And, yet, I LOVE cornbread... go figure.
8:03 am
hego
I wouldn't call that weird,mom
8:03 am
crosshair
acccck!
8:04 am
mom2han8
It's like I have this thing about fruit in its natural state.. I will eat any fruit as nature intended... just don't cook it or ask me to drink the juice out of it.
8:04 am
crosshair
i find most fruit juices(orange,apple) to acidic now and hunt for the low acid formulations
8:05 am
mom2han8
Yes.. it is a strange affliction, I admit... people look at me all the time like, "You don't eat pie???"... I tell them I would eat pie if the fruit in it was raw...
8:05 am
hego
Gosh, darn Crossy, you are a good cook.
8:05 am
crosshair
with acid reflux i do not need to be adding to it
8:05 am
mom2han8
The only fruit juice I can stomach at all is apricot nectar, which, of course is terrible for you... you may as well just go ahead and have a coke.
8:05 am
Uneaixoise
crossy, I cut my OJ with about 1/4 water (or more)
8:06 am
hego
maybe it has some thing to do with the vodka, Crossy?
8:06 am

8:07 am
mom2han8
When I drank I had a strict rule... no juice with my booze, ever!!!!
8:07 am
hego
I wonder what I'm making for dinner tonite.
8:07 am

Straight up or nothing.
8:07 am

8:08 am

Usually I look forward to Monday lunch... we do it every week, but my one friend has been a little contentious and bossy of late... she is beginning to annoy me just a tad, LOL...
8:17 am
hego
maybe somethings going on in her life.
8:18 am
mom2han8
got it...
8:18 am
mom2han8
Absolutely hego, which I why I have bit my tongue, lip, etc... she has very little control of her husband/children... so she feels lately like she needs to control me...
8:19 am
hego
ah, control issues
8:19 am
mom2han8
She is a lovely woman, but there will come a time when I will have to tell her if the behavior continues... would never do it at "Monday lunch", as others will be present.
8:20 am
mom2han8
I am not a pushover, just trying to be patient (which does not come naturally... LOL) because I truly love her.
8:20 am
hego
yes, the back off speech needs to be made
8:21 am
mom2han8
Last week she began instructing me about something that I already thought I had "shut down"... and I just gave her a look and she stopped. It's funny, I sometimes think that she just cannot help herself, LOL... and, of course, if you knew her mother!!!
8:22 am
hego
it's weird how we all become our mother
8:23 am
mom2han8
My secret weapon is to call her "Betty" (her mother's name), which I have NEVER done...
8:23 am
mom2han8
I am decidedly NOT my mother... my sister is, though.
8:23 am
hego
Make it seem like an accidental slip. lol
8:23 am
mom2han8
I am, however, my father... don't know if that is better or worse, LOL.
8:24 am
mom2han8
Yeah... Freudian...
8:25 am
mom2han8
My father was my primary caretaker (he worked nights and my mother worked days) when I was young... don't know if that has anything to do with it... I really think that we are just wired one way or another from birth.
8:25 am
hego
where do you live in NJ mom?
8:25 am
mom2han8
I used to think my father was terrible, as he was very anti-social... wonderful to me and my sister's, just had no patience for others, LOL. Now I find I am the same.
8:25 am
mom2han8
I live in Bergen County, just outside of Hackensack.
8:26 am
hego
Wow, I grew up in Lyndhurst!
8:26 am
mom2han8
Monday lunches are my social thing for the week... these are the few women I actually enjoy.
8:26 am
mom2han8
Really hego... I grew up in Montclair and Kearny... where are you now?
8:27 am
hego
down the shore
8:27 am
mom2han8
My parents are outside of Toms River.
8:27 am
hego
I live near Long Branch
8:28 am
mom2han8
I did not realize you were from NJ.. I live in Maywood... just figured someone from elsewhere would never have heard of it, that's why I said Hackensack.
8:28 am
mom2han8
Oh, ok... it is nice down there.
8:28 am
mom2han8
I like it here though... could do without this weather though...
8:29 am
hego
Very nice. I've been in this area for almost 50 years now.
8:29 am
mom2han8
My husband would love to go South... I spent some time this summer in Savannah and in Charleston, SC... LOVED it...
8:29 am
hego
I like it too.Love the seasons.
8:29 am
hego
Pretty warm and humid, though.
8:30 am
mom2han8
Yes. I love the Fall... but today I think I would trade it all in... it is just bitter.
8:30 am
hego
It doesn't last that long. And then you get spring!
8:30 am
mom2han8
OMG... it was SOOOO hot there in August. But it is really beautiful... every place has trade offs (though my husband says San Diego is the perfect place... just too far for me).
8:30 am
Carolryberg
I'm in SC and today is 15 very unusual
8:31 am
mom2han8
Yes. I saw that this snap is affecting the whole eastern seaboard.
8:31 am
mom2han8
True Hego.
8:31 am
Carolryberg
Hello all. Been away during the holidays, too much to do. Now trying to retrain my brain.
8:32 am
mom2han8
I thought Charleston and Savannah were just charming. Nice, livable cities... love Manhattan, but just not what I would consider livable.
8:32 am
mom2han8
Hello Carol.
8:32 am
hego
No, but lovable.
8:33 am
mom2han8
WEll, as I always say... "this is not a Disney movie"... the birds are not going to come through the window and take my laundry down by the river... then hang it up, fold it, and put it away.
8:33 am
mom2han8
No better city in the world, Hego.
8:33 am
EvaNadine
though, that WOULD be awesome, mom. :)
8:33 am
mom2han8

9:26 am
fuquayvarina
lone A= having more burned stuff
9:29 am
M3
the sh's are driving me crazy grrr
9:43 am
Uneaixoise
part of the prob is, as Jilli pointed out, the spelling on at least a couple of the sh's is STOOPID
9:46 am
Uneaixoise
for example, sh5/16 should be spelled with 2 sometimes vowels
9:46 am
Uneaixoise
and sh7/36 should be spelled with a ch, not sh
9:47 am
Uneaixoise
and, yes, I'm a grumpy ex-editor

welcome to the game then, SJ. There are very informative help options available: the help button on the top right, and Angelsong's Help Page (link at bottom under Friends of Babble).
This puzzle isn't considered easy, so don't worry if you don't find many words at first. Play for fun and you will get better soon (at Babble at least).

Did they buy interesting things on the credit cards?

i don't think so, crossy... just regular cards...
11:50 am

my brothers cards were compromises in las vegas by thier rfid chips
11:50 am
Sally-catlover
So does that mean you had a good Christmas, hurshy? :-)
11:50 am
hurshy
i don't know, haz, the only charge that was attempted on my card was at GameStop, but it was only $1 (it was on friday, so probably one of those things where the merchant holds a dollar and then the charge is processed a few days later.
11:50 am
crosshair
when i activate my new card,im going to take a hole punch and remove the cip
11:51 am
hurshy
i had a fine christmas - just glad it's company cards and not my own!
11:51 am
crosshair
ahh i am glad they are not your personal cards
11:51 am
Haz1558
I know, but any kind of security breach is worrying.
11:51 am
Sally-catlover
When I had an attempt on my card once it was for some tiny amount, and the card firm said that they try that first to see if it goes through, then go for the big time.
11:52 am

my brother lost $8,000.00
11:52 am
hurshy
yes, worrying is the word. yes, sally, i think that someone mentioned that possibility to me.
11:52 am

crossy thats terrible was he able to claim it back?
11:52 am
crosshair
took 6 months,but the company acgnoleged the rfid chip breach and refunded him his money
11:52 am
crosshair
damn typos
11:53 am
NonnieLight
Ours was a small attempt $1.13 twice and then the large $622.44. Our Visa was "protected" so they reversed the charges and investigating...
11:54 am
caitlyn
There is so much fraud going on its worrying
11:54 am
Uneaixoise
hmmm, happened to me twice but Visa called me to verfiy that I was actually purchasing sporting equipment which of course I was NOT -- so it was denied and I got a new card
11:54 am
NonnieLight
Mine was my bank card which could have really caused some damage if we hadn't noticed it right away. Thank goodness the bank refunded the one overdraft charge associated with the mess.
11:54 am
hurshy
i can't believe people are so willing to just mess up other people's lives.
11:55 am
Uneaixoise
apparently a red flag goes up if it's a purchase totally out of your normal type
11:55 am
hurshy
yes - well, and when you usually buy businessy stuff, gamestop is a red flag...
11:55 am
Sally-catlover
Mine was an iTunes purchase, but via the American iTunes and not the British one, which was a dead give-away apparently.
11:56 am
crosshair
yup,my brother says that they used a protable card scanner,and it was able to scan the info off of the rfid chip while it was still in his wallet!!
11:56 am
Uneaixoise
e.g., when I ordered something online from England, they called to verify before they let the charges go through
11:56 am
NonnieLight
The charge on mine was to verizon wireless...I think they must have purchased the latest and greatest in phones!
11:56 am
Uneaixoise
still in his wallet?! wow!

Wow that is worrying crossy.

Sally-catlover
dc, do you have any over?
11:58 am

I only use a debit card ........do they use that also for fraud?
11:58 am

sadly, i'm hungry now, and it won't be ready for about an hour. but that's what one gets for not planning ahead :) OOOh, i'll make some biscuits to go with.
11:58 am
crosshair
only the ones with the chip
11:58 am
dcseain
faraday cage wallets and passport holders are easily available.
11:58 am
NonnieLight
yes, caitlyn...mine was a debit card
11:58 am
hurshy
what is the chip for in the first place?
11:58 am
dcseain
and you can always weave some thin copper wire into a mesh to line your wallet.
11:59 am

if they cant secure the chip,the cc company should buy me the wallet

When I go to a cash point I always cover the key pad so my number cant be tracked if they clone the card..........I dont know too much about this

12:01 pm
caitlyn
I be fine oodle, how be you ? Happy New Year to you and you family
12:01 pm
hurshy
it is so much worse here in the US than in europe, though. at least in restaurants they swipe your card at the table with a portable reader instead of taking it away from you to do who knows what
12:02 pm
dcseain
i don't debit with my debit card - i run it as credit
12:02 pm
dcseain
where do they do that, hurshy? I've not seen that
12:02 pm
oodleberry
welll I am going to apply for a job just to get my foot in then work my self to where I want to be.
12:02 pm
NonnieLight
Are there extra charges to do it that way, dc?
12:02 pm
hurshy
they don't in the US, that's what i'm saying.

Yes Nonnie but only Amazon and First Choice holidays, havent had any problems yet (fingers crossed)

12:05 pm

thank you, Haz!
12:05 pm
dcseain
wireless devices that encode data, oodle. Found in passports, toll transponders, store security devices, among others
12:05 pm

i think you can load cash onto the chip and use it as a virtual wallet among other things
12:05 pm

Things to do today......
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green
Then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet
And pretend your name is Keith
Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an eskimo
Eat a Renault Four with salami in your ears
Casserole your gran
Disembowel yourself with spears

5:39 pm
jillibus
dc, I'm back and tried the game again -- it's saved, but nothing seems to work. Must all the words relate to white, or can they relate to the words which came from white?

hello jill

5:54 pm
dcseain

5:57 pm

5:57 pm
dcseain
soft cloth, stid, same root

6:06 pm
stidmama
"not 'they are' -- 'they is'..." rofl

6:09 pm
stidmama
museum sounds lovely!
6:09 pm
jillibus
dc, I'm finding that game very frustrating -- entering tons of words which don't work
6:10 pm
dcseain
have you entered the large trunked animal on white?
6:10 pm
jacq
i donlt have a google account does it matter?
6:10 pm
jillibus
that does sound nice, dc
6:10 pm
dcseain
doesn't matter so long as you don't want to save, jacq
6:10 pm
dcseain
i wonder what's at NGA
6:10 pm
jillibus
yes, dc, got the pachyderm
6:12 pm
jacq
still no words here and nothing shows i can type a word in but nothing happens
6:12 pm
dcseain
there's an equine on there, and several related terms
6:12 pm
dcseain
no WHITE in the middle, jacq?
6:12 pm
jacq
just a blank square
6:13 pm
jacq
sorry seain, i'm interrupting your play
6:13 pm
dcseain
not at all
6:14 pm
dcseain
i ra6 work the grid continuously
6:18 pm
jacq
i have a mini-map with lots of green bits on it to the left og a big white square
6:18 pm
stidmama
okay, stidkid should be home this time... I hope. See you-all later! *poof*
6:21 pm

6:26 pm
dcseain
jacq, mini map shows the the completed puzzle, in quadrants. click a quadrant - once found - to work it
6:27 pm
jmcnrick
so most of this chat is about a totally different game?
6:27 pm
dcseain
today, yes, jmc
6:28 pm
jmcnrick
lol what game?

6:29 pm
dan2bit
aloha all!
6:30 pm
jmcnrick
so how do you play it?
6:30 pm
dcseain
aloha, dan
6:30 pm
jillibus
aloha dan -- are you in Hawaii?
6:30 pm
dan2bit
I wish, jillibus
6:30 pm
jacq
ahhhhhhhhh ty seain
6:31 pm
dan2bit
though mrs2bit & I are taking an extended MLK weekend trip to Southwestern Florida in just a couple weeks
6:31 pm
dcseain
nice, dan, hope you enjoy
6:31 pm
dan2bit
last air travel before the baby, most likely
6:31 pm
jillibus
mmm, nice -- and how's mrs 2bit doing?
6:32 pm
dcseain
jmc, each box repsesents a word. Each word is connected to other boxes. a word in a box relates to all connected words.
6:32 pm
dan2bit
much improved in the nausea department, and feeling "flutters" from the inside - showing a bit of a "bump" :-)
6:33 pm
jillibus
exciting, dan!
6:33 pm
dan2bit
yes - we bought our "baby car" on 12/31, and ordered nursery furniture
6:34 pm
dan2bit
because apparently nursery furniture can only be hand crafted by special left-handed elves who only work every other full moon
6:36 pm
dcseain
long time to delivery of furniture, dan?
6:36 pm
jillibus
dc, that equine is eluding me
6:36 pm
jmcnrick
no one told me about the elves -- i made a changing table out of an old fashion kitchen cabinet with a pull out ceramic covered metal bread board
6:37 pm
dcseain
mr ed, jilli
6:37 pm
dan2bit
apparently 14 weeks or so. But we should be in plenty of time. Nice jmc! We just bought a low dresser that will temporarily be a changing table, then later get a mirror or hutch
6:38 pm
oodleberry
mr ed was a male not a female
6:38 pm
dcseain
yes, but he was a type of animal
6:39 pm
oodleberry
is that ma4?
6:39 pm
dcseain
in this puzzle, yes oodle.
6:39 pm
oodleberry
or is there another word I don,t see
6:40 pm
dcseain
another puzzle - not babble - that you don't see ;)
6:40 pm
jmcnrick
i typed horse in the box and nothing happened
6:41 pm
oodleberry
but why is jill saying she doesn't see the equine word
6:41 pm
oodleberry
ok I'm confused
6:42 pm
jmcnrick
because she is playing the other game and trying to get help from dc oodle
6:42 pm
dcseain
other puzzle game :) just to be confusing
6:42 pm
Mary
I also am trying the new puzzle and just got logged in but don't know how to play or what to put in the box can someone explain
6:42 pm
jmcnrick
i get nothing in the other game and i logged in to gmail
6:43 pm
oodleberry
jillibus
dc, that equine is eluding me
6:43 pm
jmcnrick
i tried to find a walk through
6:43 pm
jillibus
poor dc! everyone's asking how to play the game and the inventor should have included a Help!
6:43 pm
jmcnrick
there is a hints but i can't get it to take me anywhere
6:43 pm
Mary
sure could use the help
6:44 pm
JBV
hi again - i'm back after dinner and just realized I got so wrapped in the WHITE game, that I forgot I still have 33 words left to find here!
6:44 pm
jmcnrick
poor oodle we are confusing you
6:44 pm
dcseain
yes, it's like that jbv, welcome back
6:44 pm
jmcnrick
so explain how to play the WHITE game because Mary and I are clueless
6:44 pm
MPittore
jmc..."the ole grey m*** ain't what she used to be"
6:44 pm
dcseain
hits does not work, indeed not, jmc. it's like it's half-built or half-functional
6:45 pm
oodleberry
fien I am taking my ball and going home
6:45 pm
jacq
i have a minimap called on the farm thats where mine started, but liking this game, ty
6:45 pm
JBV
well I have 12 words there, but I still don't think I understand how it works
6:45 pm
MPittore
blonde taking a bow
6:45 pm
Mary
I see the map also but what do I type in the box to get started?
6:46 pm
jmcnrick
well done MP
6:46 pm
dcseain
random words related to White to see what takes, then it builds from there
6:46 pm
jmcnrick
so give me an exemplary word -- i tried horse
6:46 pm
MPittore
ok now to babble-on...he, he, he
6:47 pm
jillibus
neither horse nor mare works
6:47 pm
dcseain
snow, which leads to another, which leads to horse
6:47 pm
jmcnrick
*looks out window for pizza guy*
6:47 pm
MPittore
oh oh, I think you all are talking about the other game sorry...jilli and jmc...
6:48 pm
jmcnrick
okay got the snow in I will play for a while
6:48 pm
dcseain
no problem, MPittore :) all my fault
6:48 pm
jmcnrick
no no MP it was very nice of you to clue the horse here
6:48 pm
jmcnrick
I appreciate clues at all times (well most times)
6:49 pm
jillibus
well, I can't find anything from snow -- tried drop, flake, drift...
6:49 pm
dcseain
yes, and lots of people not in the chat her appreciate it, too, i'm sure
6:49 pm
Scrabbler
What is this other game of which thee speaketh?
6:49 pm
jmcnrick
i tried bank jill and that did work either
6:49 pm
Mary
Ok I give up on the snow I spend too much time on babble let alone try another. Must focus on the 67 words left here where I'm hitting a wall
6:49 pm
jacq
and how did you all get the white game and i got a farm
6:50 pm
Scrabbler

6:51 pm
dcseain

6:52 pm

6:52 pm
MPittore
singing out "double your pleasure, double you fun,..."
6:52 pm
dcseain

6:52 pm
MPittore
oops type meant "your"
6:52 pm

6:53 pm
dcseain

6:53 pm
jmcnrick

6:53 pm
jillibus
but fall didn't lead to horse either
6:53 pm
jmcnrick

6:53 pm
MPittore

6:55 pm
dcseain
no, but what you strap to your feet to walk on snow does
6:55 pm
dcseain

6:55 pm

7:03 pm
dcseain
i've one box liked to 4

welki
lawdy, just what i need ... i'm hooked on that game, seain!
7:08 pm
jacq
me too and it's great, but i can't get the same one the others are playing lol
7:08 pm
dcseain
i wonder if that because you're not in North America, jacq
7:09 pm
jacq
possibly the link opens but the minimap is a complete square instead of grids so maybe it's a different size or something maybe need to look at the coding
7:10 pm
dcseain
which browser are you using, jacq?
7:10 pm
welki
mine is square too, jac .. once you open up each quadrant, you'll get four itty bitty maps you can click on
7:11 pm
jacq
right now i'm playing the farm quadrant, and that's fine but if i use the link seain posted i get a blank square in the middle and the minimap has no quadrants
7:12 pm
JBV
holy mackerel, I did not realize I was only solving 1/4 of the puzzle! now I see the other webs!
7:12 pm
dcseain
ah, you're on teh original game then, jacq
7:12 pm
welki
what's the farm quadrant? i have colors in mine ... ut oh, maybe i have a different puzzle!
7:13 pm
jacq
yes i found the link for it and it opens fine but it has a similar addy to the link you posted and strangely enough pig leads to a religions quadrant
7:13 pm
JBV
i think it's very interesting because it uses different word skills compared with Babble - you have to focus on meanings, which of course, is absolutely of no worth here :)
7:14 pm
Scrabbler
Is that (Word Link) a game that changes dialy?
7:14 pm
Scrabbler
Or even daily?
7:15 pm

i think it's a never ending game lol
