2:17 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely sure

2:17 am

jillibus

well, ruru, that's what keeps the likes of me going

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

and when I chat, it takes me 4 times longer... so when here for social... you can't think about time

2:18 am

Haz1558

I think there should be different categories, just to make the statistics and rankings extra complicated. Speed merchants, slow but steady, clue assisted, non-clue assisted, spoonfed....

2:18 am

dart001

ditto to volley's comment

2:18 am

rururocks

if it were rated on speed jilli we'd have to change the name of the game to dartabble

rururocks

(nods head)

2:27 am

jillibus

lynxxx

Really Ru - it's so easy, you should. Besides remember Haz gets kickback on all Babble users

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

or type in 2 or 3 or 4 letters with an asterisk and it will give you many, many choices

2:27 am

Dachef

2:27 am

jillibus

Poor dachef

2:28 am

rururocks

Vegas is a great place to live if you are a baked potato

2:28 am

grannyrose

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

wow then haz is making a killing off me

2:28 am

Haz1558

Yes, granny, it was a white-out. That's what poor Dachef is having to leave behind.

Dachef

2:38 am

grannyrose

andree, did you try the doorbell?

2:39 am

Atalante

lmao this is very similar to last night's chat ...

2:39 am

Haz1558

I started doing it, concluded that it was going to tip me over the edge. I've since cheated with google and found the completed puzzle.

2:39 am

grannyrose

hi ata!!!!

2:39 am

rolin

andree...i have rodeo off cowboy

2:39 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata. It's so funny, it's like seeing an epidemic taking shape.

2:40 am

rolin

ata did you start this???

2:40 am

Andree

i have that looking for the other

2:40 am

Haz1558

And dachef is at the airport - he's been through security and is about to be approached by a sniffer dog.

2:40 am

Atalante

I am confused, what game is this?

2:40 am

Andree

2:41 am

jillibus

funny farm, lyn -- I'm not going near it!

2:41 am

jillibus

hi ata

2:41 am

Haz1558

Cowboy Neal - use both words, rodeo, horse, cow, humans at the bottom.

2:42 am

jillibus

I tried the other game -- linx -- very frustrating

2:42 am

lynxxx

I am playing the ones with food and linx at the address ends. I am not recognising these words at all, must be another one

2:43 am

Haz1558

This is the same type of thing, lynxxx, starts off with a farm and ends up with baseball, poker stars, magicians, cocktails. HOURS of wonderful entertainment.

2:43 am

rolin

ok..cowboy neal makes no sense to me...i have cowboy

2:43 am

Haz1558

It has 25 segments to be filled in. Then you're probably directed to the 49er.

2:43 am

Andree

hours is the word, i could be days

2:43 am

Atalante

is it bad that I'm having dificulty with the cocktails, but the drugs one is much easier

2:44 am

Haz1558

Cowboy Neal is above holy cow.

2:44 am

jillibus

haz, is it with the same url at the beginning?

2:44 am

Atalante

haz, what's the really long cocktail, above right of the middle?

2:45 am

Atalante

http://shygypsy.com/farm/p.cgi

2:45 am

Andree

2:45 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure, jillibus, there's a funny-farmappspot one andthere's shygypsy. Both maddening.

2:45 am

Atalante

CowboyNeal is one word somehow

2:45 am

Haz1558

2:52 am

Haz1558

Possibly. She may well have invented some of them and that's how she's made her millions.

2:53 am

Atalante

quite possibly. she does have dodgy connections

2:53 am

Haz1558

Very. We're her only good influence.

2:54 am

Atalante

wow. never been called a good influence before

2:54 am

Haz1558

Does it not make you feel warm inside?

2:55 am

rumplestiltskin

Hi all, back for a while. 127 to go

2:56 am

rumplestiltskin

OOps! Slap on the wrist.

2:56 am

Atalante

2:56 am

Haz1558

As long as it's not the drugs....

2:57 am

Atalante

not this early in the morning

2:57 am

rumplestiltskin

It's probably the residue from the epidurals. They told me not to sign any legal documents for 24 hours.

2:57 am

Haz1558

There's a relief.

2:57 am

Atalante

hmmm so what else do I know abotu lamborghinis, one wonders?

2:58 am

rumplestiltskin

Oh boy, I wish I had one. A Murcielago in grinch green.

2:59 am

Haz1558

It connects to 'Microsoft' via a Japanese car manufacturer and a word meaning sight (think scenery, kind of)

3:00 am

jillibus

59 left and bedtime -- g'night all you crazy people :)

3:00 am

Haz1558

Goodnight, jillibus. Sleep well.

3:01 am

rolin

oooh thats clever...how holy cow connects into religion...lol

3:01 am

jillibus

<shaking head> *poof*

3:01 am

Haz1558

I know, some of the connections are quite funny, others just make you scratch your head.

3:02 am

Haz1558

(Jillibus is probably not going to bed at all, she's going to start funny farm)

3:02 am

rolin

ok...can you link cowboy neal to karma???

3:02 am

Atalante

ooo that's a strange one something '70 something

3:03 am

jillibus

I am NOT! well, not now . . .

3:03 am

Haz1558

It's the name of a TV programme, I think.

3:03 am

Dachef

gotta go - starting to get some funny looks. I think Servisair might be onto the fact that I am blatantly stealing their wi-fi. Byeee!!

3:03 am

Haz1558

But you'll not be able to resist, jillibus. Just you wait, it's all they'll be talking about at bridge.

3:03 am

jillibus

*repoof*

3:04 am

Atalante

ohhh. wonder what that's got to do with microsoft

3:04 am

Haz1558

Bye Dachef - bon voyage!

3:05 am

Haz1558

Not a direct connection, names of people connect it, never heard of them myself.

3:06 am

Atalante

hmmm will leave that one till later I think and get on with the grid

3:06 am

Andree

haz the connection to book, is it a title or what?

3:07 am

Haz1558

Spoken like a true babbler.

3:07 am

Haz1558

Let me look, is this still in the farm segment?

3:53 am

herinfernallady

Good Rose Good

3:54 am

Atalante

well ... she'd never had any till yesterday, and I used it in making my dinner, put the empty plate down on the floor and she *fell* on it, licking every scrap of the coconut ilk up. So apparently we have now found her Favourite Thing In The World

3:54 am

herinfernallady

awww Ata too cute.

3:54 am

Andree

will you know by tomorrows chog rose or will there be a wait for results

3:54 am

Andree

it must be good for her ata

3:55 am

herinfernallady

My cats like curried sausages (no onions).

3:55 am

Atalante

no idea! but someone else here said there their cats always love coconut, so I guess it's a weird cat thing

3:56 am

rolin

ata...have you done the magazines square??

3:56 am

Atalante

not much of it, no!

3:57 am

rolin

hummff.. and i have no idea how im gonna get from jesus to poker stars..lol

3:57 am

Atalante

oh! I know that one

3:57 am

Haz1558

Hello again. Funny farm consultant to the slowly going mad....

3:57 am

Atalante

there's a poker star whose nickname is jesus

3:57 am

Andree

3:59 am

herinfernallady

HI Haz. Beyond help here and Hi Rolin

3:59 am

Andree

bye rose

3:59 am

Haz1558

The banking and world economic crisis didn't happen because the bankers were greedy. They were all playing funny farm and forgot to pay attention.

4:00 am

grannyrose

* poof *

4:00 am

rolin

hey herin

4:00 am

rolin

i thin k youre right haz

4:00 am

Andree

thx ata that got me to the poker page, something i know nothing much about

4:00 am

herinfernallady

ROse call me if you need

4:00 am

Haz1558

I think we've finally found FM's get out clause. She's no longer to blame for everything, it's funny-farm.

4:00 am

rumplestiltskin

clu for the first ti5/12 please

4:01 am

Atalante

but she's to blame for that

4:01 am

Andree

if she is doing so well on it she must somehow be to blame

4:01 am

Haz1558

ti5/12 - not listed yet, but hopefully it's the right one, a metal, then a baby's bed minus the vowell (or camp bed)

4:01 am

Atalante

exacly

4:01 am

Andree

she probably put DC up to it

4:02 am

Atalante

I'm sure she did

4:02 am

Haz1558

You're right, Andree. FM probably set the whole thing up, got DC to suck us in and there you have it. The downfall of civilisation as we know it.

4:02 am

Atalante

and back to blaming FM, as it should be

4:03 am

Haz1558

They'll make a film about it some day. We can get Dachef to write the screenplay.

4:03 am

rolin

over on the religion page...theres a long link upward from pig....does anyone have that word?

4:03 am

Atalante

Haz has every word. she cheated

4:04 am

rumplestiltskin

TY Haz, that was it

4:04 am

Haz1558

The Police.

4:04 am

rolin

the pilice>??...lmao

4:04 am

Atalante

cat! decide where you want to be and stay there!

4:04 am

Haz1558

Haz has declared that to avoid madness she googled until she got the answers. This way I can help the weary, the huddled masses...

4:05 am

Haz1558

Glad it was the right one, rumple.

4:05 am

Atalante

Haz is very sensible

4:05 am

herinfernallady

wosset is a word

4:05 am

Haz1558

And I can avoid going mad because I couldn't possibly get all the answers.

4:06 am

Atalante

as is resnow

4:06 am

rolin

ive already gone mad...so...

4:06 am

Haz1558

Then we're here to support you in your madness, rolin. (Saidin soothing font)

4:07 am

rolin

ty haz... a support at all times..

4:07 am

Atalante

and laugh

4:07 am

Haz1558

My rules for helping are that I won't give answers unless I am asked and unless you are prepared to set up a Paypal account and drip feed me money.

4:08 am

Haz1558

We can work out a sliding scale of charges based on just how close to the edge you are.

4:08 am

rolin

lol...well i have google feeding me the names of up until now...totally unknown..(to me).. poker players...

4:09 am

Haz1558

Let's jut hope that somebody somewhere isn't thinking that because you're all googling drugs and poker stars, your life is going to pot. Watch out for funny emails.

4:09 am

rolin

lol....good point..esp. for someone who cares for vulnerable chn..

4:10 am

Atalante

I'd have a few weeks off work just to be on the safe side

4:10 am

Haz1558

I know! They'll be giving you funny looks if you start talking about drugs and cocktails.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, take the time off work to get the puzzle finished.

4:11 am

rolin

ok..ok..so maybe ill stick to just talking about the farm... (funny farm is starting to sound less and less ironic)

4:11 am

Atalante

the game is named quite well

4:11 am

Haz1558

Whoever thought up the name knew what they were doing.

4:12 am

rolin

can you believe people have made $12M playing poker??

4:13 am

Haz1558

And the thing is, there's no chat log for people to warn you off. I mean, here when a new person appears, we all mutter half-hearted phrases like 'addiction' and 'think again'. Over there, nothing. Silence, just the rushing of the blood through your brain for company.

4:14 am

Atalante

but newbies never believe us anyway

4:14 am

Haz1558

I know. They laugh lightheartedly and think 'how hard can this be?'

4:14 am

rolin

*sigh*....its true...

4:15 am

Haz1558

They think 'I have a great vocabulary, these people are obviously dolts. Stand back and watch.'

4:15 am

rolin

a mate of mine told me about babble 3 years ago...he cant believe i still play

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Love bable

4:15 am

Atalante

yep!

4:16 am

Haz1558

Not even when you talk about crwth and etuis and etna?

4:16 am

Atalante

I shall show them with my super word powers! hey wait! flobble is a word! this sucks!

4:16 am

Haz1558

You can always tell the new people who get frustrated quickly because they call enable all sorts of names.

4:17 am

Haz1558

What kind of words are these? The dictionary is clearly sub-standard!

4:17 am

rolin

and nene

4:17 am

herinfernallady

I am watching Murphy's Law. Not bad at all

4:18 am

Haz1558

Is it the one with James Nesbitt?

4:18 am

rolin

and they STILL allow yob...but not hoon..

4:18 am

Atalante

and the oldies who just grin wryly and carry on

4:18 am

Atalante

I wacthed Law and Order for the first time last night

4:18 am

herinfernallady

INtents is a word. how do you go camping if you are not intents?

4:18 am

rolin

mmmm...james nesbitt

4:18 am

Haz1558

I know, Ata, we just grin and bear it, don't we? Okay, now and again we have a moan but it gets us no further.

4:19 am

Atalante

not in the grid, herin

4:19 am

herinfernallady

Funny thing is I understand the accents better than my parents

4:19 am

Haz1558

James Nesbitt has kept his accent beautifully.

4:20 am

rolin

hes a brilliant actor

4:20 am

Haz1558

In Jekyll and Hyde or whatever it was called, he was quite clever in changing his N Irish accent depending on which character he was playing.

4:20 am

rolin

there is NO way im gonna get anything on the comic book page...

4:20 am

Haz1558

The scientist was more educated sounding, the rough character had a kind of streetwise Belfast accent.

4:21 am

Atalante

most of them are quite obvious, rolin. batman, spiderman, x-men etc

4:21 am

rolin

oooh ill have to look out for that haz..

4:21 am

Haz1558

(Rolin, don't forget that I have all the answers, there is a way. 50p per name?)

4:21 am

rolin

lol... ill have to start saving haz...

4:21 am

herinfernallady

Thank you Haz. I was wondering my self were I had seen him

4:22 am

rolin

but for now i have to get myself to work...to pay for haz's bribe money...see you all later...

4:22 am

Haz1558

It was on last year, rolin, I'm not normally one for that kind of thing but his acting was excellent. I was truly frightened!

4:22 am

Andree

bye rolin

4:22 am

Haz1558

See you later, rolin.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

what's an appropriate bribe amount?

4:22 am

Haz1558

Yes, herin, he was the main character in it.

4:23 am

Haz1558

There's a sliding scale, ruby.

4:23 am

Haz1558

It's based on just how close you are to tearing out hair.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

is that like the slippery slope?

4:23 am

Atalante

FM gets to pay 5 times as much as anyone else

4:23 am

herinfernallady

I was scratching my brain thinking of it. I did like Jeckle and Hyde.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Yes, slippery slope, thin end of the wedge, the beginning of the end.

4:24 am

Atalante

James N was in Cold feet too, wasn't he?

4:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, that was his first big break.

4:25 am

herinfernallady

Yep

4:26 am

Haz1558

He's one of the patrons of the cancer charity I do some fundraising work for. The people there hold him in very high regard, always willing to do things for them and very down to earth.

4:27 am

Atalante

what a nice man!

4:27 am

herinfernallady

aww

4:28 am

Haz1558

His early days were spent not far from here, his father was headmaster of a primary school and then they moved a bit further away.

4:29 am

Atalante

another ballymena claim to fame

4:29 am

Haz1558

Some day I'll probably bump into him and Liam Neeson strolling down the street in Ballymena. We're home to the stars, you know.

4:30 am

Atalante

just make sure George is with you when you do

4:31 am

Haz1558

I'd be beating the women off with a stick.

4:31 am

Haz1558

By the way, where's FM?

4:31 am

Atalante

you could use Ian Paisley for that

4:32 am

Atalante

busy drinking cocktails

4:32 am

Andree

safer to keep him hidden under the stairs haz

4:32 am

Haz1558

I think she's making up a HUGE version of funny farm. World domination is in her sights.

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Ata they have bought out the new DR Who box set 1 - 4 seasons

4:33 am

lizmac

4:33 am

Haz1558

I know, George doesn't like this cold weather at all. He's been asking for hot water bottles and everything.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Liz!

4:33 am

Haz1558

I watched University Challenge last night. Some contestants need their hands tied behind their backs, that's all I'm saying.

4:33 am

lizmac

Morning all. 2nd attempt!

4:33 am

Andree

haz just throw me one of the words that comes off paper please

4:33 am

Atalante

just shove Spangle in ther ewith him

4:34 am

rubyfoo

gm lizmac

4:34 am

Haz1558

Good morning!

4:34 am

Andree

hi liz

4:34 am

lizmac

Chris DID say it didn't go so well, he didn't say they got slaughtered!!!

4:34 am

Haz1558

Which segment are you on, Andree?

4:34 am

herinfernallady

hI lIZ

4:35 am

Haz1558

But have they not got another chance? I can't follow these new rules at all.

4:35 am

lizmac

Better luck next time (but probably not as they've only one game left to be televised)

4:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, there's a bit of a clue there, liz. Still, if they can do a bit better it would help their confidence.

4:36 am

lizmac

No Haz, I don't get the rules at all, I'd have thought that once you lost a game, that was it.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Oh good,glad I'm not the only one to be confused. It's as if they're lengthening out the process just for the sake of it.

4:37 am

Andree

bottom middle and the one above is magazines, have nothing off mad which is fast sending me that way

4:37 am

Atalante

hurray! my new wellies just arrived

4:37 am

lizmac

We recorded the prebvious rounds, so at least we have a record of them drubbing others!!

4:37 am

Haz1558

I'll have a look, Andree.

4:38 am

Atalante

I tried to watch it by my mother decided to phone nearly all of the way through it

4:38 am

Haz1558

Paper - scissors, rock, origami

4:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's not as if they hadn't been good in other rounds.

4:39 am

Haz1558

That phone numbers one had me thoroughly confused.

4:39 am

Haz1558

You can tell they do more texting than I do.

4:40 am

Andree

i so hate texting, takes me forever

4:40 am

Haz1558

mad hatter, tea party, tea ceremony Japan.

4:40 am

4:40 am

Haz1558

Well done, Merk!

4:40 am

Andree

yay merk

4:40 am

lizmac

Anyway, better get well wrapped up and off to do some light shopping. Phone numbers one confused me too, thought I'd got it then realised I hadn't. Bye the noo.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Bye herin and ruby.

4:41 am

Atalante

texting is easy on my phone *smug* cos it has a proper keyboard

4:41 am

Haz1558

Bye liz, wrap up warm.

4:41 am

Haz1558

That's cheating, Ata!

4:42 am

Atalante

4:42 am

Haz1558

4:42 am

Atalante

4:43 am

Merk

4:46 am

Atalante

4:46 am

Haz1558

Make a verb from the adjective (wo5/18) for those two.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Bye, Andree. Are your eyes square?

4:47 am

Haz1558

Poor little Hugo. He's probably had to learn bladder control today.

Haz I think I have those. I need the last 2 wo 6 and 7's

4:49 am

Haz1558

Sorry, I haven't gone to the list yet and I don't think I have the right ones for you.

4:50 am

Atalante

there's the wo5/18 + another letter too, and then plural. fabrics? maybe

4:50 am

Haz1558

There are a couple that run together the wo5 with a word associated with tennis (play a number of games to make a ***) and then plural.

4:51 am

Atalante

I got there first :P

4:51 am

Haz1558

I bet she gets it from my clue.

4:52 am

Atalante

probably!

4:52 am

Haz1558

You're not meant to admit defeat that soon!

4:52 am

rumplestiltskin

I've tried all those. I have all the wo's down to the last 5

4:53 am

rumplestiltskin

I mean 6, one is wo6/30 and the other is wo7/44

4:54 am

rumplestiltskin

I have the first pair.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Then the second pair just changes the last letter to another consonant and then plural.

4:55 am

Haz1558

It has the little alien ending, rumple.

4:55 am

Atalante

-oidling

4:57 am

rumplestiltskin

I'm sorry,i have those too. It's the next pair

4:57 am

Haz1558

rumple, there only are two wo7/44.

4:58 am

Haz1558

Do you mean the wo5/18 that is the least good it can be and its plural?

4:58 am

Atalante

the ones that sound like sausages

4:59 am

Haz1558

Zees wu*** is zee wo5/18 I hev ever tasted! (read in German accent for full effect)

5:00 am

Atalante

yes, them :)

5:00 am

Atalante

the wo5/18 wu*** even!

5:00 am

rumplestiltskin

Gees, you're right, it's the middle wo6/30 just before those 2 that I am missing. There are 3 wo6's right together

5:01 am

lynxxx

plural Rumple

5:02 am

Haz1558

There's a plural and a doubtful comparative. Being more wo5/18.

5:03 am

rumplestiltskin

TY TY, slap me. I think it's because it's 5 in the morning and I have been at this since 2:30. Better go to bed and finish in the morning. Have 7 left.

5:03 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, rumple. Sleep well and those 7 will leap at you in the morning.

5:03 am

lynxxx

g'nite Rumple

5:04 am

Haz1558

Right, I'd better do some e-mails for husband. Honestly, how am I supposed to do babble, act as funny farm consultant, AND do his secretarial work?

5:04 am

Atalante

outrageous demands!

5:05 am

Haz1558

I'm starting to get overwhelmed, what with my morewords and Paypal responsibilities as well.

5:05 am

Haz1558

I'll have to hire a PA soon.

5:05 am

lynxxx

multi talented, probably got cakes in the ovens as well

5:05 am

Atalante

I would if I was you

5:06 am

Haz1558

In the meanwhile, I'd better do what he asks. That garage is still there and he could always make me sleep out there... bye for now!

5:06 am

Atalante

bye dear!

5:06 am

Haz1558

*gone*

5:07 am

lynxxx

5:10 am

Eva. Just started the funny farm one - seems obscure and hard. Prefer the word one, think of compounds or common phases. Try out paper and elephant to get you going and so you can see what it does

Just what kids need.

8:37 am

Judi

Probably a bust idea. I don't think coffee can gel.

8:38 am

Atalante

it can - people make expresso jellies and stuff for dinner party desserts

8:39 am

Judi

I had no idea! Ata - your cat looks cute all tucked in like that.

8:39 am

Atalante

she was a very happy warm girl!

8:40 am

EvaNadine

ata -- stay up all night with the farm? ;)

8:40 am

Atalante

I'd put a duvet on her chair, and she snuggled all into it :)

8:40 am

Atalante

not quite!

8:40 am

Judi

My husband just bought a memory foam dog bed for our husky. The cats are enjoying it as well. Like they don't have enough soft cushy places to loaf on.

8:41 am

Atalante

awwww wow!

8:41 am

Judi

The cats were actually fighting over it last night. Although it is large enough to accomodate them both.

8:42 am

Atalante

I would have thought that memory foam is too hard for cats to squoosh into

8:43 am

Judi

It's not about comfort to them. It's about a new surface to claim and make others jealous.

8:43 am

Atalante

true!!

8:44 am

Judi

Spoiled little wankers.

8:44 am

Atalante

little monsters :)

Nef

How much sn4 do you have?

Hello all

9:36 am

Nef

We had a bunch of sn4 over Christmas; then had rain after that -which froze- so my daughter's convertible is under about 2 feet of frozen icey sn4 and the drive is plowed in. If this nice weather holds, maybe we can get her car out this week (by "we" I mean HER!)

How is sunny Florida, Aloy? Warming up?

9:37 am

Atalante

hi scrabs! hi bunnies!

9:38 am

Aloyisius

brrr, Scrabbler... slowly but yes.. lots of crops are lost; the polar air mass that swept down set record low temps here

9:38 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies are quiet now. Miss Bea sleeps under the sofa all day.

9:40 am

Atalante

awwwww is it warm under the sofa?

9:40 am

Aloyisius

have the sn4 conditions been good for x-c, Scrabbler?

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Bunnies like to hide, burrow, be protected, as they are prey animals.

9:42 am

Atalante

duh. that makes sense!

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Tons of sn4!! Cross-country skiing was perfect on Sunday--packed powder. And Santa gave me sn4shoes for Christmas and I have been enjoying trekking in the woods.

9:43 am

Aloyisius

great to be able to get out in the sn4 instead of feeling cabin fever

Scrabbler

Speaking of bunnies, the rabbits in the neighborhood are feasting on my burning bushes out front

9:45 am

Aloyisius

You can spray your bushes with "Liquid Fence" and the bunnies will leave them alone, Nef. Only thing is.. the L. Fence is expensive

9:45 am

Aloyisius

Works vs. bunnies and deer

9:46 am

Aloyisius

11:10 am

nrkii

an6 18... never saw it before last week... now it's back

11:11 am

oodleberry

not me cause I don't see it right away

11:11 am

Nef

hi nrkii. I thought *I* was the only one who felt that way!

11:12 am

hurshy

we have had it before... but yeah, that is a funny phenomenon in general mrk

11:12 am

hurshy

i mean nrk

11:12 am

hurshy

i have 9 to go... to list, or not to list, that is the question.

11:12 am

11:12 am

nrkii

11:13 am

nrkii

my rule is, when my patience is gone, I list

11:13 am

oodleberry

what does it mean please

11:13 am

hurshy

are you going alphabetically?

11:13 am

nrkii

I go in tile order, until I list

11:14 am

hurshy

i know but some people go reverse alpha once they list

11:14 am

nrkii

no, I usually go a to z once I list... I think I used to go reverse, before lickety's list

11:14 am

nrkii

an6 means same as an5... just old english version of it

11:15 am

hurshy

well, if you happen to have a guess as to which A i'm missing, i'd be much obliged.

11:15 am

Nef

oodle, weird def.

11:15 am

nrkii

tough to guess... none of the A's are that tricky other than that an6

11:15 am

nrkii

how about ar6 -- do you have that?

11:16 am

hurshy

i have a plural ar6...

11:16 am

11:20 am

Atalante

11:21 am

nrkii

LOL, no I got it, was just explaining why I didn't get it

11:24 am

ibergo

Silly question from a beginner: How do you know there is ofr example th4/6?

11:25 am

hurshy

either because you've found it or bc you're using a list.

11:25 am

ibergo

The first one, I could guess my self:-)

11:25 am

sciencegeek

there is a clue list - link on bottom "Licketey's Clues"

11:25 am

Atalante

or because you're psychic

11:25 am

hurshy

well, it doesn't get mentioned often enough.

11:26 am

nrkii

hurshy, perhaps ti5/12? or th6/21? do you have both of those?

11:27 am

ibergo

Ahhh! A clue list!

11:27 am

Atalante

plural numbers?

11:28 am

nrkii

there's an sa6 sa7 combo that might be a good candidate too

11:28 am

nrkii

no, not plural numbers ata, a different th6 that starts with "not now"

11:30 am

nrkii

for missing R's, I would guess rh4, or re 6/30, perhaps?

11:30 am

Scrabbler

11:33 am

Scrabbler

Hi N. I have given up on Triple Letters, or whatever that is, and Scrambled Word--the 5 x 5 grid---those stump me SO much. My brain cannot do those puzzles.

11:33 am

kimmtoats

11:33 am

nrkii

11:44 am

hurshy

11:44 am

Scrabbler

An alkene

11:45 am

nrkii

11:45 am

hurshy

thanks!

11:45 am

hurshy

point total?

11:45 am

Dorens

i have a busy evening with two meetings and hopefully a little gym time... not a good day for me to see a large grid... hope it's friendly

11:45 am

hurshy

for the grid?

11:45 am

hurshy

it IS friendly dorens.

11:45 am

Scrabbler

I was smug

11:45 am

nrkii

11:45 am

hurshy

anytime you see a medium-large grid with me playing GWHIM, then you know it's friendly.

11:46 am

nrkii

thanks scrabbler, now I have to go look up alkene :)

11:46 am

hurshy

so it's a 6/18 for the s.

11:46 am

hurshy

ata, watch out, scrabbler's gunning for your smugness crown!

11:46 am

Dorens

GWHIM?

11:46 am

hurshy

Guess What Hurshy Is Missing

11:46 am

Scrabbler

Alcohols end with -ol. Then there are alkanes, alkenes, enols, esters...organic chemistry!

11:47 am

Atalante

I've had the alkene for *hours* LOL *smug*

11:47 am

Dorens

ah!! look at scrabbler showing off

11:47 am

hurshy

well so have i but i couldn't have told you it was an alkene.

11:47 am

hurshy

i found it! a normal word!

11:48 am

hego

YAY, Scrab is back in the clue groove!

11:48 am

Atalante

alkenes have a double bond

11:48 am

Scrabbler

Actually, organic chemistry is touhg--lots of memorization and the primary weed-out course for pre-med students

11:48 am

hurshy

yes, i recall all my friends complaining about orgo back in the day at williams. i sensibly stuck to easy classes.

11:48 am

hego

I've had to take it also Scrab.

11:49 am

sciencegeek

fw!

11:49 am

Atalante

I loved org chem

11:49 am

Scrabbler

I enjoyed it but it was tough.

11:49 am

Dorens

i know o chem is the class most recommended for premed students to take in the summer ... alone, with no other courses

11:49 am

hurshy

i had one friend who got terrible grades in that stuff but was pre-med, and did great in english and so forth. we tried to convince him that maybe being a doctor wasn't the way to go, but he persisted and is now a pediatrician.

11:49 am

sciencegeek

count to eight

11:50 am

Atalante

but we start org chem way before pre-med level

11:50 am

Scrabbler

That is a not uncommon strategy

11:50 am

sciencegeek

Have fun see u tomorrow

11:50 am

hurshy

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

11:50 am

11:58 am

Atalante

hi ruby and ruby!

11:59 am

rubyfoo

we have icicles formed at 30 degree angles; I've never seen that before

11:59 am

rubyfoo

I thought they had to be absolutely vertical

11:59 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby

11:59 am

rubyfoo

hello sally and ata and cross

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

may I have a scientific explanation, pls?

12:00 pm

crosshair

ive seen them on a angle many times due to windy conditions

12:00 pm

Atalante

wind direction

12:00 pm

M3

ruby i guess it was a windy day

12:00 pm

12:00 pm

12:01 pm

Sally-catlover

Have to go and cook. Back later.

12:01 pm

rubyfoo

I took photos

12:02 pm

Nef

hi ruby. You have crooked icicles? There had to be a wind (or breeze) or the weight was heavy enough to have bent whatever they were hanging from (and the icicles are lighter than the weight of the water?)

12:03 pm

crosshair

nature is a marvelous and interesting thing sometimes

12:03 pm

rubyfoo

ahhah, it must be because they are on rather soft pine trees which must have bent with their weight. I didn't think of that

12:04 pm

Nef

a lot of times the icicles can be hollow (from the flow of the water), so they weigh less than the weight of the water that formed them

12:05 pm

rubyfoo

it's the first time I've seen any icicles here; we've had more snow in the last 10 days then in the previous 3 years put together

12:05 pm

jmc,have you ever tried this? you shread about 4 kinds of you favorite cheese in a even layer on a baking sheet,add basil,oregeno and other spices of your choice and bake under the broiler till it browns and allow to cool,and you end up with this great crunchy sheet of yummy spiced cheese;))

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

sometimes when I find an old cheese in the back of the fridge (brie, reblochon, whatever), I bake it and serve it on bread -- not so bad

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful, cross!

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

never did that crossy -- it sounds right up my alley

12:54 pm

crosshair

you cut it in narrow stick and serve as a apetizer,but i like to cut it in square for sammiches;0

12:54 pm

jmcnrick

i usually zap a bowl of grated cheddar and jalopenos in the microwave! fast and satisfying

12:54 pm

crosshair

the perfect topping for a bacon weave sammy

12:55 pm

jmcnrick

but i use my iron skillet when i make regular quesadillas

12:55 pm

jmcnrick

i will try that crossy -- does it keep well?

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

with guacamole on the side?

12:55 pm

crosshair

keeps well jmc,up to 3 weeks

12:56 pm

crosshair

do not freeze

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

this game will make me fat!!!!

12:56 pm

jmcnrick

cheese seldom freezes well -- i was thinking of on the counter in an air tight container

12:57 pm

jmcnrick

i am too lazy to make guac all the time

12:57 pm

Mom

12:57 pm

Bethjt

You are all making me hungry!

12:58 pm

Yes, and I just ate lunch.

12:58 pm

Bethjt

Another easy one with cheese is to grate chees (like parmesan) on pita bread with oregano and other spice and bake. Yum

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

ata did it for me!

12:58 pm

Mom

Hi Beth, Jmcnrick, Hego, Ruby, and Crossy

3:00 pm

Mom

{{{Lynxxx}}} hello

3:01 pm

Mom

After Haz said yesterday she found a hints sheet I went and hunted it down because I did not want to look at that thing any more. Not all the blanks were filled in but alot of them were.

3:01 pm

Nef

what's going on lynxxx? I haven't seen you for a while; are you ill?

3:01 pm

lynxxx

I'm finding the funny farm one too American for me - however the word (linx) one is great

3:01 pm

Sally-catlover

Where is the hings sheet, Mom?

3:01 pm

Mom

3:01 pm

sprite

oh I see! That is funny. I score with every word, lol. Beginner's luck!

3:01 pm

lynxxx

No, very wel Nef, been here every day, we must have just missed one another

3:02 pm

lynxxx

Mom - the one with linx at the end of the address line

3:02 pm

Mom

let me find it and I will post the link in the chat

3:02 pm

Sally-catlover

I found it funny that when I put in an English spelling, it changed it to the American one for me.

3:02 pm

Sally-catlover

ty Mom

3:03 pm

Atalante

3:04 pm

Atalante

3:05 pm

Mom

you are so welcome Sally

3:05 pm

Atalante

dooooooooom :D

3:07 pm

Sally-catlover

Cannot find what links goat and sheep. Sure I have tried just about everything.

3:07 pm

lynxxx

3:07 pm

Mom

llama Sally

3:07 pm

sprite

manure doesn't score, grin

3:07 pm

Mom

no but BS will

3:07 pm

Atalante

llama!

3:07 pm

Mom

that was for sprite

3:08 pm

sprite

oh wow! thanks, never would have tried that.

3:08 pm

Mom

That was a gift from Haz yesterday

3:09 pm

sprite

ok, I seriously need to talk to Haz. What made her try that, I wonder :)

3:09 pm

Sally-catlover

Oh, ty! By the way, I put in "sh**" and it entered BS.

3:09 pm

lynxxx

Oh, and my daughter went to see the Link to that a couple of weeks ago

3:09 pm

Mom

Sprite, this is from DCSeain

3:09 pm

Mom

another one that I would have never gotten was KFC

3:10 pm

Sally-catlover

Really, Mom? *Switches tabs for a mo.

3:10 pm

Mom

yes, it builds off of the chicken

3:10 pm

sprite

ok I need to try that. Kentucky Fried ......? Lol.

3:11 pm

Mom

yes, type KFC

3:11 pm

Sally-catlover

Oh, wow! I tried everything there. Don't think KFC has much to do with farming :-)

3:11 pm

sprite

those are odd words for this map

3:11 pm

lynxxx

see, that's the trap Sally - don't be logical

3:11 pm

Mom

it doesn't, it just builds off the chicken

3:11 pm

jmcnrick

but KFC does have to do with chicken

3:12 pm

gapeach

Thanks for the an clues....mind isn't awake yet.

3:12 pm

Sally-catlover

Are you sure jmc? :-)

3:12 pm

Mom

and after I merged the hints I found last night I would never have gotten 3/4 of them

3:12 pm

lynxxx

hi jmc

3:12 pm

Sally-catlover

Are there hings in yesterday's hcog?

3:13 pm

sprite

ah I see, it only has to connect to the words it connects with. Kind of logical nevertheless

3:13 pm

Sally-catlover

Sorry! Are there hints in yesterday's chog?

3:13 pm

Atalante

loads yes

3:13 pm

Sally-catlover

Then when you get a word on the outer edge, you open up another screen sprite.

3:14 pm

Sally-catlover

Thanks Ata. Will have a look later.

3:14 pm

sprite

what kind of entries should I look for for the double words? Anything like THE and AN or not?

3:14 pm

Mom

I can not get the food one to load. Blessing or curse?

3:15 pm

Mom

the is used Sprite

3:15 pm

Sally-catlover

I think sprite is hooked :-)

3:15 pm

Mom

I believe so

3:15 pm

Mom

like I said, I blew the entire day yesterday on it

3:16 pm

lynxxx

It seems to 'give' you The. I entered Rolling Stone and it gave me The RS

3:16 pm

Mom

I will tell you all this .... the one that shoots of of Cowboy is CowboyNeal

3:16 pm

Mom

Lynxxx, how did you say to get to the food one?

3:17 pm

Mom

it is just a blank screen for me

3:17 pm

sprite

yeah... easily addicted to word games, that's me. And this is a challenge. Hard to resist ;)

3:17 pm

sprite

that is not something I'd ever have tried

3:17 pm

lynxxx

http://funny-farm.appspot.com/game/foo
d

3:18 pm

lynxxx

I tried about 20 times to put in Rhinestone with Cowboy

3:18 pm

Sally-catlover

Mom, I've never heard of CowboyNeal so I would never have got that.

3:18 pm

Mom

I didn't hear of it either, that I got off the cheat sheet

3:19 pm

Nef

okay, where are the directions for that game? It won't take any words (and I said I wouldn't go th***!)

3:19 pm

sprite

oh, and from barn comes Fred Flintstone's buddy

3:19 pm

Mom

hmmm., the minimap is open and the screen is white

3:19 pm

Mom

oh Nef, another one bites the dust

3:19 pm

Mom

oops du**

3:19 pm

Sally-catlover

Oh heck, sprite - off to google.

3:20 pm

Nef

3:20 pm

sprite

3:21 pm

Sally-catlover

I'm on a Mac, Nef. Do you have cookies enabled.

3:21 pm

Sally-catlover

3:21 pm

Sally-catlover

3:22 pm

sprite

3:22 pm

lynxxx

3:23 pm

Mom

and said I would not do this again, and here I am tryingn to get the food one to work

3:23 pm

Mom

3:23 pm

lynxxx

Are you in top left square?

3:24 pm

Sally-catlover

Do you have a Google account, Mom? Log in to that and then see.

3:24 pm

3:52 pm

Sally-catlover

It's a strange way of thinking.

3:53 pm

Mom

very much so

3:53 pm

sprite

I like it. It is very very associative.

3:53 pm

o-o

3:55 pm

Nef

hey, BR I liked your quote from earlier, but now you've changed it. I had hoped to use your quote elsewhere. Who was that other one from?

3:55 pm

Sally-catlover

At least there is no time limit on Funny Farm, not like Babble where I know I could finish but am too tired.

3:55 pm

Sally-catlover

Then I just leave it and go to bed.

3:56 pm

lynxxx

BBL

3:57 pm

Mom

bye bye Lynxxx.

3:57 pm

sprite

3:57 pm

Mom

3:58 pm

sprite

3:58 pm

Mom

It's funny we haven't run into one another there.

3:58 pm

Mom

I find I do too

3:58 pm

sprite

lol!

3:58 pm

Sally-catlover

I was very upset to find the housework-related ones. They are there as an evil reminder, I'm sure :-(

3:59 pm

3:59 pm

bojazz

that is evil indeed

3:59 pm

4:03 pm

Sally-catlover

4:06 pm

Angelsong

hi, all. quite a nice grid today.

4:06 pm

sprite

the next boxes are going to be tough, I can tell. I don't know the first thing about baseball. Religion should be doable, but magicians? Magazines? I think it will be a handicap there that english isn't my native language?

4:06 pm

sprite

hello Angelsong, yes it is friendly.

4:07 pm

Mom

and just to throw this out there, Barney will link to baseball but you will want to remember Barney Rubble is whose friend?

4:07 pm

Mom

you are so welcome Sprite

4:07 pm

Nef

did you finish the grid yet Angel?

4:07 pm

Sally-catlover

I agree about the baseball sprite. I think magazines could also mean books.

4:07 pm

sprite

hehehe, good hint, thanks :)

4:08 pm

Mom

and you will need the Fred's pets name as well

4:08 pm

inge

I am totally l9ost. Will return when the farm folks are asleep

4:08 pm

Mom

off for now. Take care and good luck. {{Hugs}}

4:09 pm

sprite

bye Mom, have a good time

4:09 pm

Mom

Sprite and Sally my email is KLD1057@fuse.net if you need help, just email me

4:09 pm

Mom

it isn't my intention to run anyone off in babble

4:09 pm

sprite

aw Mom, that is so sweet! Will do!

4:09 pm

Sally-catlover

Oh, ty Mom

4:09 pm

Mom

you both are so welcome.

4:10 pm

Sally-catlover

Will try hard to talk Babble now :-)

4:11 pm

sprite

lol am going to finish this grid before bed... where I should have been in some time ago. But strength of will can be handy in cases like this ;)

4:12 pm

Sally-catlover

Still have 50 to find - got sidetracked.

4:12 pm

sprite

am a little bit further ahead, but yeah, sidetracked is just the word for it :)

4:25 pm

meliae

nope it wont let me

4:25 pm

meliae

this is what I get

4:25 pm

meliae

Something went wrong.
This is probably caused by too much traffic. There are two solutions.

Press the Back button in your browser twice and enter a new guess.
If that doesn't work, use this link to reset the game. Then press the "Start" and "Save game". You should be able to load an old saved game or merge with an old saved game.
Sorry about that.

4:26 pm

Sally-catlover

Perhaps dc would know. I think he's on Facebook

4:26 pm

Sally-catlover

listening to air america, and once again, the right-wing nutcases have pounced on a liberal, and now the people on air america (liberal radio network) are wasting loads of their time to reply to it.

5:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

what a waste of time!!

5:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

current;y i'm too lazy to get up and turn it off

5:16 pm

bojazz

right-wingers don't have a corner on the nutcase market :)

5:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

but they are prolly laughing their asses off about this one

5:17 pm

bojazz

nutcases usually laugh at the wrong time or at the wrong thing...

5:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(please note, i did not say all right-wingers are nutcases. I referred to the subgroupd of right-wingers who are also nutcases.)

5:18 pm

bojazz

aaah

5:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have met left-wing nutcases, too. (most of them aren't trying to take away mi rights, though)

5:21 pm

meliae

ok am I just blind or does the sh 9 not play off the 8?

5:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, new topic on air america at last. head of facebook says "privacy" is a thing of the past. Oh boy.

5:31 pm

o-o

diphthong

5:32 pm

Christine

Computer can't spell - can

5:32 pm

Christine

Thank you, it's been driving me dotty for weeks.

5:33 pm

o-o

don't see that word around much anymore

5:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

two letters stuck to each other is called a ligature. (example, the letter W started as a ligature of two Vs.) diphthong refers to two vowels pronounced (more or less) as one sound

5:37 pm

o-o

two important updates from Microsoft on patch Tuesday

5:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

[ ÃŸ ] also a ligature, still used in German (lessee if it comes out right)

5:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Remembering everything would be hell.

5:48 pm

bojazz

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They interviewed her on NPR a few years ago- you could still hear it on line

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, just a weird neurological recurrance

5:48 pm

Atalante

how did they know she was telling the truth?

5:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

my dad says he knew someone who could do thatm, too. they have more functioning neurons than most of us

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, it wasn't a scam- it was studied and documented.

5:49 pm

Christine

Good grief, sounds like my late Mother, daughter and former husband - anything I've done wrong in the past 70 years -- God bless them.

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I myself would like to be an idiot savant!

5:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The brain is a very strange universe

5:51 pm

jillibus

Iteresting about that German sz -- or is it zs? I thought it was ss. Many books on Gt Dane history refer to a Herr Mebter, but it's that symbol someone misunderstood so in my book I used Messter. What should I have used?

5:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it can be s-z or s-s

5:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

mebter, prolly should be meszter

5:52 pm

jillibus

so I'm ok with Messter? Thanks, Gwen.

5:52 pm

jillibus

well, it's too late now for me!

5:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

pronounced mets-ter. might need practice lol

5:53 pm

inge

jilli, you did it right. the ÃŸ is a double s sound, derived from s and z

5:53 pm

inge

should be pronounced Messter

5:53 pm

jillibus

Thanks, inge.

5:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

inge is the expert here on the german stuff 8-)

5:55 pm

inge

Thank goodness, it is the only german letter that does not exist in English, now imagine learnign Chinese

5:55 pm

JBV

hello friends - back to babble - after a short fling with the funny farm

5:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

or mebbe not! LOL

5:55 pm

jillibus

People still write Mebter, and make all sorts of mistakes about old pedigrees, perpetuated over the years, which is one reason I wrote my book, checking everything with the original German studbooks.

5:55 pm

JBV

and just in time - I AM learning Chinese, inge, and that is a true brain stretch for me

5:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

"the great mebter" 8-P

5:56 pm

inge

surely you have all heard about the "respelling" of names at Ellsi Island.

5:57 pm

jillibus

inge, my father learned Chinese (writing too) and had to take an exam for his work as a civil servant back in the 20s. 10 extra marks were awarded for writing the exam in Chinese, and he got 110%

5:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

unfortunately that is not common knowledge, as far as my expericen reveals

5:58 pm

jillibus

I should explain he was working for the Chinese Postal Bank.

5:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i mean the mangling of immigrant names . . .

6:00 pm

inge

The most cruious change is one the US Army did when issuing fake passports to the Leon Feuchtwangers in teh early 40's. Their new last name was Dampcheek ( a literal trasnlation of Feuchtwanger)

6:01 pm

inge

Actually, not a translation. The word Feuchtwanger came from Fichtenhang (pine lsope)

6:01 pm

jillibus

JBV, I have a little wooden box with divided drawers, containing little squares with a Chinese character on the front, and the literal and figurative meanings on the back. He used to study it aevery day on his way to work in a rickshaw in Peking (Beijing).

6:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Humorous true anecdote: Universalist missionary the Rev. Clarence Rice wrote home of the difficulty of learning the Japanese language. The old words for post office, "joroku," and hell, "jigoku," got missionaries confused. At least, he quipped, we Universalists donâ€™t have the problem of the orthodox who keep sending people to the post office for their sins.

Minveryork

He 4/5 is another story of clues. I think that babble is an as5/10 to my daily living. I have never se 4/4 a game so addicting. With babble, the du 4/6 builds up in my house. I'm not a good du6/24 because it never gets done.I usually turn my no4/4 up to cleaning and re6/30 to do it so I can babble instead.I wish I could just er 5/10 all household chores.If I did not have to ea 4/4 money,I would sit home and babble every day with ea 4/4.No sa4/4 person babbles as much as I do My husband sn5/10s everytime I babble & gives me a st5/10 look because I'm neglecting household chores Hubby gets a little te 5/10 over the amount of time I spend babbling.Wish I could babble listless,but I must fe 4/7 up to it,I always re6/18 to using the list.I get half of the words and th4/5 I goto a list.So th5/12 is my story of clues for today. Bedtime is almost ne4/4 and I can se 5/10 sleepiness coming on so I am off to get a long nights re4/4. I hope you are able to so4/4 out my clues and find words.Goodnight to all babblers

9:55 pm

Nef

annie, the grid is up for 24 hours; it will change in a little more than 2 hours, so don't worry about finishing. It is a game, after all (but many he** are addicted to it! ;-)

10:01 pm

flosey

10:01 pm

Trifioso

I was such a stubborn hold out regarding digital cameras....regret it now, of course, as it turns out digital is a pretty good way to go!

10:29 pm

flosey

I love digital cameras, you see immediately if it's good or not

10:30 pm

Trifioso

yes-- all that wasted film!

10:30 pm

Trifioso

as per usual, I was intimidated by the technology, so I resisted it, foolishly

10:31 pm

flosey

ah Trif, that's me too - often have trouble getting my head around some of the computer tech stuff

10:31 pm

jillibus

back in a while -- going to check Lexulous

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

I am torn between the digital and film. Film was so much fun as you had to wait until you saw what you took

10:32 pm

flosey

but you couldn't always go back and retake herin

10:32 pm

Trifioso

I can't really say I can fully operate my camera, even now. I should learn all the features, but I haven't as yet. cell phone, same deal - it has so many little buttons, and I only use a third of them

10:33 pm

flosey
