I made it to nbt on this grid with no assistance, which is rare for me

I can usually get that and at least half, but frequently, not more

Hallo all. Thought I woiuld just sit down for 10 minutes with a cup of coffee before I go and clean hens. What a small and easy grid so far!

hello sally. How does your tooth feel?
2:36 am

Only one 6, one 7 and all the rest 4s and 5s!

It's a most agreeable grid, diann

I feel better today ruby, just a bit sore. I have a new and lovely dentist which is good.
2:38 am
rubyfoo
my dentist is getting very old and I am afraid he'll retire leaving me without a good one -- alas, alack
2:39 am
Sally-catlover
My old dentist retired, and it has taken me a long time to find a nice one who doesn't expect me to pay him in gold bullion.
2:39 am
rubyfoo
half, yay!
2:40 am
rubyfoo
mine is so fancy, that, besides a house in Geneva, he has a farm in the countryside where he raises cows, St. Bernards and FLAMINGOS!
2:40 am
Sally-catlover
Looking at this one so far, I should think you would finish it ruby.
2:41 am
rubyfoo
you give me more credit than I deserve, sally! lol
2:41 am
Sally-catlover
Eek ruby! I have found a lovely National Health one so the fees are very low.
2:42 am
rubyfoo
it's amazing to me that he can actually breed flamingos in Switzerland (and we probably pay for their shrimp!)
2:46 am
Sally-catlover
Flamingos aside, is he a good dentist?
2:46 am
rubyfoo
yes, very sweet and gentle and gives me kisses!
2:47 am
Sally-catlover
lol ruby
2:47 am
rubyfoo
he's so old that he thinks I'm cute! raofl
2:48 am

Wow, I think I would worry if my dentist thought I was cute!
2:51 am

43 words and I had better get dressed! see you later!
2:52 am
Sally-catlover
Yay ruby! I have 38, and really must go and do my duty in a minute. Are you still there? I have a funny story.
2:52 am

I'm still here and listening.....
2:54 am
Sally-catlover
Have been staying at my son's. My small grandson has one of those mats with the letters of the alphabet and the numbers on it, about 7 squares by 7 I should think. I found I was sitting there making up words like in Babble! Oh, look, I can get bin, bins, bint, bints, etc! Addicted or what.
2:55 am
rubyfoo
the question is, did your grandson get more words? When I can't sleep I go through the alphabet, figuring out 7-letter words for scrabble
2:55 am
rubyfoo
we are definiately addicted to word games! lol
2:55 am
Sally-catlover
Er, no ... He's only 2.
2:55 am
rubyfoo
does he know the letters? Have you taught him the ABC song?
2:56 am
rubyfoo
do you have a photo of him in facebook?
2:56 am
Sally-catlover
He doesn't know the letters really yet, but he is beginning to know numbers, we count the stairs etc, and he is beginning to know colours - the red car, the blue car etc.
2:56 am
Sally-catlover
No, I'll put a photo of him on facebook later. I could eat him all up.
2:57 am
rubyfoo
if you teach him the abc song, he'll go through his whole life humming it when he has to look something up! lol
2:57 am
Sally-catlover
It's lovely to see them learning new stuff.
2:57 am
rubyfoo
you are very lucky!!

3:09 am
Sally-catlover
how many letters, lexi? (not listing)
3:10 am
Haz1558
Be th5/12, look through the grid carefully and you will find it.
3:10 am
DTins
uk would spell it with ugh at the end
3:10 am
Sally-catlover
ok, got it. Oh! just about to clue it and see Haz has done so.
3:10 am
lexi
no idea, forgive me, but is there a listing of how many letters are in each word?
3:10 am
Douglas
It's archaic, lexi
3:11 am
Haz1558
It's the same as the prickly one, save for the last letter.
3:11 am
Haz1558
Good morning/evening all.
3:11 am
Sally-catlover
Usually under lickety's babble clues (scroll down under the grid and you will see the link)
3:12 am

Hi Haz, only popped in briefly and what do you know, I only have 7 to find, so I might as well finish now ...
3:13 am

Well done! Maybe see you later.

Hope so, Haz! Bye for now.

Sally would now the meaning of the now-infrequently used phrase "madder than a wet hen"
3:21 am

Perhaps she uses dry shampoo.

3:51 am
rubyfoo
I think your optimistic attitude is helpful, too, sprite!!
3:52 am
herinfernallady
Ruby it is and my friend is going to be a dad so yes very happy.
3:53 am
sprite
flu, then bacterial infection (big one), then antibiotics, then allergic reaction to former, then new meds against that. All the time diarrhea too, so kind of exhausted what I had. Back to building up again now. The weather is helping, with spring on its way :)
3:53 am
rubyfoo
the best crying is what the French call "fou rire", laughing 'til you cry.
3:53 am
herinfernallady
O Sprite
3:53 am
VolleymomDee
oooh, so sorry to hear sprite; that is nasty
3:54 am
rubyfoo
can we send you some nutritious [sp?] treats to help build you up, sprite?
3:54 am
sprite
yeah well, rubyfoo, it took me a while this time to get back to optimistical. Was too darn tired. But got my feet back under me again :)
3:54 am
rubyfoo
yay for sprite!
3:54 am
sprite
spelling is good, I believe, and yes please, fill up the penalty box for me with goodies :)
3:55 am
VolleymomDee

I've heard that herring, especially with onions (!), is particularly good for you
3:55 am
sprite
yummy! Good fresh herring is lovely.
3:55 am
Andree
hi everyone
3:55 am
rubyfoo
I wish, the only kind I get here isn't very fresh
3:56 am

Hello Andree, and sprite and other new arrivals.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
hello haz, I didn't see you.
3:56 am
sprite
bye Dee, have a good day
3:56 am

*poofing with hugs*
3:57 am
sprite
thanks Andree, so am I :)
How are you doing?
3:57 am
herinfernallady
Later Volley. My gosh my social calander just got full again
3:57 am
rubyfoo
how is your weather, haz, whatever you have will be here in 2 or 3 days!
3:57 am
Haz1558
I've been flitting back and forward looking at photos.
3:58 am
Haz1558
It's got very cold again, ruby and we have snow forecast. I'm hoping it's just the weather people trying to be dramatic again.
3:58 am
Andree
i am fine, raining here, we need it, wet dog too
3:58 am
sprite
am sure it is, Haz. It is Spring time. No more excuses for the sun to stay hidden.
3:59 am
rubyfoo
oh no! we need a little rain bu, please, no more snow as everything is coming up!
3:59 am
herinfernallady
Hi Andree
3:59 am
rubyfoo
yesterday I planted 3 new lavender as the old ones were ugly and looked half-dead
3:59 am
rubyfoo
but I have a little lilac waiting to be planted but I'm afraid it is too cold
3:59 am
Haz1558
It's frustrating, isn't it? Daffodils are only just appearing and back comes the winter.
4:00 am
sprite
Andree, you need a wet dog? Want mine? ;)
4:00 am
Haz1558
Don't plant the lilac yet, ruby, and do you know that it probably won't bloom for seven years?
4:00 am
rubyfoo
I have daffs, forsythia, hiacinths, scilla, wild primroses (to match the daffs) and one tulip
4:00 am
sprite
put a layer of straw on the new flowers to protect them
4:00 am
Haz1558
For some reason lilacs need to be seven years old before they bloom for the first time.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
you're kidding, I hope, I'm pretty old to have to wait that long.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
It is about 2 feet tall
4:01 am
featherbee
hello. haz, i haven't found that to be true for myself. maybe we've just bought older bushes.
4:02 am
Haz1558
I kid you not, ruby, so don't think you've done something wrong if it doesn't bloom this year. Not seven years from planting, though.
4:02 am
rubyfoo
I don't know how old it is but it's very sturdy-looking
4:02 am
featherbee
ahhhh!
4:03 am
sprite
woot found the biggie
4:03 am
herinfernallady
Feather gentle hugs
4:03 am
rubyfoo
it has an ideal spot waiting for it, lots of moisture, lots of sun, and lots of room for growth
4:03 am
featherbee
heh, thanks herin. he's still parked on the throne.
4:03 am
Haz1558
Here endeth my store of knowledge of lilacs.
4:03 am
herinfernallady
Poor kid. I would like to be parked in bed
4:03 am
sprite
still impressive, Haz
4:03 am
featherbee
me too. it's 5am here.
4:04 am
rubyfoo
5AM! aaargh
4:04 am
sprite
argh that is night still
4:04 am
featherbee
i'm up because my son is sick. i got tired of hanging out in the bathroom with him.
4:05 am
rubyfoo
how old is he?
4:05 am
Andree
thx sprite for the wet dog offer but have one of my own
4:05 am
sprite
poor kid. poor mum. Hope he will be better soon.
4:05 am
rubyfoo
maybe we could pool the wet, stinky, dogs; that way only one of us at a time would have to deal with the mud!
4:06 am
sprite
*grin* 's okay, Andree, we love him too much to let go anyway. But he loves to get all muddy and dirty. Doesn't sw4, but manages to accumulate a large quantity of mud and sand every walk.
4:06 am
rubyfoo
sorry, maybe Ruby is the only one who is stinky when wet!
4:06 am
rubyfoo
chow chows don't sw** either, too much fur, I think
4:07 am
sprite
Terra can swim, but he does not particularly like it. Hallelujah.
4:07 am
Andree
hugo always smells lovely,lol
4:07 am
rubyfoo
sorry, pb?
4:08 am
sprite
lol of course. Lovely to dog's noses.
4:08 am
sprite
nope, no pb. It has to be valid to earn entrance to the hall of goodies.
4:08 am
rubyfoo
both dogs have sweet breath but Ruby is always dirty; her favorite spot is under shrubs where there is always dirt or mud
4:08 am
rubyfoo
sometimes she smells like peaches, but not usually
4:10 am
rubyfoo
any hints for the i or the lonely e?
4:10 am
sprite
or dogs' noses?
4:10 am
rubyfoo
the vet says it's normal for Ruby to be greasy under her fur, but I have to use dish detergent to clean my hands after her massage
4:11 am
herinfernallady
Must go have a wonderful day.
4:11 am
sprite
bye lady, *hugs*
4:11 am

4:14 am
rubyfoo

4:15 am
Douglas
One of those e's is spelled about 3 or 4 different ways
4:15 am
sprite
lol yes indeed
4:15 am
rubyfoo
yes, it depends where you live lol
4:16 am
sprite
I think that is because in the original language they used another alphabeth. So all names are transcriptions of the sounds.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
yes, exactly, sprite
4:17 am
rubyfoo
down to 10! got all the h's
4:17 am

Back to chat. rubyfoo, you still here?
5:16 am
Mudd
Not a bad grid at all ... I really enjoyed it. I got up early b/c I have to go away today and feared I might not return to get it finished. I worried for nothing.
5:17 am
Mudd
See you tomorrow, hopefully later in the morning than this.
5:17 am

Bye for now mudd. Yes, I did the grid earlier in rapid time.

Hi!Hallochen!Im new here..how does one play?xxxlol
5:21 am
Merk
You picked an interesting day to start ... probably good. There are a lot of short words. Just type in any words you see and when you get to 61, you've finished. There are a lot at the top of the grid using the o and also plurals. The words must be at least four letters long.
5:22 am
Abby74
Wow!thank- you so much for responding - my freind told me about this site....
5:22 am

49 four letter words, Ten 5 letter words, 1 six and 1 seven. The seven was made using a suffix. That's it.
5:24 am
Abby74
Wie gehts?FishFishGarden?lol
5:25 am
Merk
Today is a grid you could do all on your own. Some days I can, some not. Below the grid is a link to Lickety's Babble Clues and that will tell you the starting two letters of the words and how many letters long they are. On huge grids, I finally have to resort to using it. Since you are not a member of Babble, you're flying on your own and the grid helps.
5:26 am
Abby74

No not this one, but I've had 3 at different times. According to something I heard a long time ago, the Afghans are the dumbest out of the 72 AKC breeds. But when it comes to food, they're the smartest. Go figure.
9:33 am

No really, once you have one they are very loving, but they do need a lot of work, free to run, and heavy duty grooming.

11:33 am
EvaNadine
i am going 2 weeks from this weekend with my bridesmaids to hopefully find some dresses!
11:33 am
Haz1558
The bridesmaids bought their dresses off the rack, the bride got hers designed and made by a local lady. It suited her perfectly because she's so petite - full length would have drowned her.
11:33 am
FMitch
Actoually I could see you in that sort of dress EvaN.
11:34 am

Let me see if I can get some evidence for EvaN...

11:43 am
FMitch
See the new icon HAz, a tad sqidged but such is the way with babble.
11:43 am
FMitch
* or should I say I see ..
11:44 am
Haz1558
Yes, the one with just the bride and groom makes them look even smaller! I've used a different one, hopefully it looks a bit better.
11:44 am
FMitch
iw4/8 feather a long time babblet.
11:44 am
Atalante
hellllooooooooo
11:45 am
Haz1558
Helloooooooo back!
11:45 am
FMitch
Helloooooooo on iw4/8 and Tenrec day!
11:46 am
Atalante
shame it's not yw ... but ...
11:46 am
Haz1558
Wouldn't it have been quite something if the tenrec had appeared in the grid? We'd have had to have X files music playing.
11:46 am
Atalante
like Rafa Nadal did ...
11:46 am
FMitch
lol that would have been fun/interesting.
11:47 am
FMitch
you have lost me there Ata.
11:47 am
Haz1558
What did Nadal do?
11:47 am
Atalante
rafael and nadal were in the grid for Une's birthday
11:47 am
Haz1558
(Glad I'm not the only one not to get the reference)
11:48 am
Haz1558
Ah! Light dawns.
11:49 am
FMitch
*yawn* but happy for Une.
11:49 am
Haz1558
I must tell you about the local paper. It seems to have been compiled by somebody on work experience this week. We have people advertising loft conversations, curtain alternations, and we have a picture of a young man at a school concert playing a panio.
11:49 am
Atalante
oh my!!!
11:50 am
sadie52
Hello Everyone
11:50 am
sadie52
wow only 61 words eh
11:50 am
FMitch
LOL loft conversations! I trust you wil lbe writing to them?
11:50 am
Haz1558
It's incredibly bad, even worse than usual, and that's saying something.
11:50 am
FMitch
Hi sadie - it is a friendly and short one today.
11:51 am
Haz1558
I'm debating whether I have the patience to sit and mark all the mistakes and then post it to the editor, asking for a refund.
11:51 am
sadie52
hiya FMitch works for me :)
11:51 am
FMitch
Oh do just for the satisfaction, never mind the refund!
11:51 am
Atalante
you could at least work on 1 page
11:52 am
FMitch
How are you Ata, feeling better now?
11:52 am
Haz1558
We also have the story of a man charged with indeceny. He made the mistake of urinating against the police station walls, then exposing his buttocks in the park opposite the place.
11:52 am
Haz1558
His solicitor claimed that his belt was loose.
11:53 am
Atalante
until the next time ... :D
11:53 am
Atalante
lmao ... oh dear. what a place to choose
11:53 am
sadie52
what a thing to get charged with too lol
11:53 am
Haz1558
I know! Rooms full of bored policemen, trying to hit their target of arrests and this joker turns up.
11:54 am
sadie52
hehe they are sittin there praying for a jerk like that
11:54 am
Haz1558
The indeceny was the paper's attempt at spelling indecency, unless they've come up with a new name for it. A couple of weeks ago they charged another man with 'riding furiously' on the pavement.
11:55 am
FMitch
Oh poor Haz I feelyou will need to lie dow andhavea couple of blue and pink pills soon!
11:56 am
Haz1558
I don't know whether to laugh or cry sometimes.
11:56 am
FMitch
I rest my case :)
11:57 am
Atalante
you'd like AStoria's local paper. They have a section where they report the day's police activities. Some of the notes are hilarious
11:58 am
Atalante
I always liked someone reporting "a man walking along the bridge with dirty clothes"
11:58 am
FMitch
love yr icon Ata, sunrise or set?
11:59 am
FMitch
Oh and Ata Dr Who 6th Arpil :))
11:59 am
Atalante

Atalante

FMitch

12:00 pm
Haz1558
Should I be getting excited as well?
12:01 pm
Atalante
absolutely
12:01 pm
FMitch
and also Heston Bluementhals (sp) new series start soon too.
12:02 pm
Haz1558
I watched his series about Little Chef but I don't think I've watched any of the pure cookery stuff.
12:03 pm
FMitch
Haz you know that lynxxx will be asking questions in a couple of months so you have to take notes.
12:03 pm
Haz1558
Take notes on Dr Who? That would mean watching it, wouldn't it?
12:04 pm
FMitch
Oh you have missed out then, his ultimate cookeryshows are incredible when he cooks to a theme and invents pretty much magic.
12:05 pm
FMitch
I have to go soon :(
12:06 pm
Haz1558
I'll have to go soon as well. Poor Ata, all alone.
12:06 pm
FMitch
She will cope. Lovely chatting and TTFN!
12:06 pm
Haz1558
Toodle-oo FM.
12:07 pm
torgone
Heyas kids ..
12:07 pm
Haz1558
Well, there you are, torgone, just in time to keep Ata company.
12:08 pm
Haz1558
How are you?
12:08 pm
torgone
I'm good
12:08 pm
Haz1558
Excellent.
12:09 pm
Haz1558
Have you done the grid? World records of speediness have been achieved today.
12:09 pm
torgone
Just started
12:11 pm
helensgirlkid
Marvel of marvels - Dr. Who starts here April 6 as well. We used to have to wait a year , and even last year we had a delay of several weeks before Dr. Who made it to Canada - I had to work at ignoring some of the chat!
12:11 pm
Haz1558
It shouldn't take you too long, but it's fun.
12:11 pm
torgone
I'm going to take my time
12:13 pm
Haz1558
Well, you can rely on me not to give story lines away on Dr Who, helens.
12:14 pm
Atalante
haz, what do you think of wooden work surfaces? hygiene-wise?
12:15 pm
Haz1558
Well, I know the experts would say that they're not the best, but frankly, wood's been used for ages and provided it's given a scrub down etc, I can't see that there should be major problems.
12:16 pm
helensgirlkid
Our experts seem to have done a flip - the lignin in wood is antibacterial, so they encourage its use, especially for meats.
12:17 pm
Atalante
hmmmmm interesting .... husband wants wooden worksurfaces
12:17 pm
Haz1558
My butcher uses wooden chopping blocks and I'm assuming the health and safety people have endorsed it.
12:17 pm
Haz1558
Wooden for all the counter-tops?
12:18 pm
Atalante
yes ....
12:18 pm
Haz1558
A wooden chopping block is one thing, I don't know what all the surfaces would be like - wouldn't it mark or burn if too hot stuff is put on it?
12:18 pm
torgone
Butchers have used wooden chopping blocks for ages with little more than a wire brush for cleaning
12:18 pm
Atalante
I would think so .... I don't really like the idea
12:19 pm
helensgirlkid
I could scorch - and too close to the sink it will water stain and maybe even split - but if you have a lot of counter space to cover, lots of it could be wood, surely.
12:19 pm
Haz1558
Does he want them for the look or because of the hygiene argument?
12:20 pm
Atalante
the look ... he didn't even consider hygiene
12:20 pm
Haz1558
I'd ask to see a kitchen five years down the line to see how well the wooden counter tops would stand up to abuse.
12:21 pm
Atalante
ooooo that's a good idea
12:21 pm
Haz1558
Or even ten years down the line - you don't want to be putting in a new kitchen every five years.
12:21 pm
rubyfoo
gd evening everybody
12:22 pm
rubyfoo
with wooden countertops my husband wd probably set the whole kitchen on fire!
12:22 pm
Atalante
apparently his friends have some that are beaten up after 3 years. but apparently, that's *different*
12:22 pm
Haz1558
Hello, ruby!
12:22 pm
EvaNadine
mmmm..... leftover frittata......
12:22 pm
rubyfoo
when we did the kitchen we put in granite and 11 years later, it's perfect!
12:23 pm
Haz1558
I rest my case, Ata. Google it as well to see what the internet public have to say about them.
12:23 pm
rubyfoo
I guess it depends who is cleaning it
12:23 pm
helensgirlkid
I've seen kitchen plans with work surfaces specific to task - chopping blocks, kneading boards (one wood and one stone) and a marble slab for working candy (obviously these people spend a LOT of time in the kitchen), but the articles always mention that you want them easy to lift so they can be replaced without a complete replacement of counter tops.
12:24 pm
rubyfoo
I have 8 words left! heart is starting to beat faster....
12:24 pm
Haz1558
I TOLD you you'd get fireworks today, ruby.
12:24 pm
FMitch
pops back in, Ata, woodn chopping blocks or baords are fien but I would not use them for furnishing a full kitchen.
12:25 pm
helensgirlkid
I regret to say I failed to notice that I had got down to one - It's not as much fun when I'm not prepared for the fireworks!
12:25 pm
Haz1558
It's official, Ata. Your bad influence friends are backing you up.
12:25 pm
FMitch
Hey ruby, suorry I couldn't help you with yr icon.
12:25 pm
rubyfoo
I use acrylic boards for chopping and put them in the dishwasher every night
12:25 pm
helensgirlkid
Now I must let Java restart the computer! See you guys later.
12:25 pm
Haz1558
Bye helens.
12:25 pm
rubyfoo

12:25 pm
FMitch
Bye helens

FMitch

rubyfoo

12:27 pm
Haz1558
She's either done, or she's glad we're backing her up. or she's imitating an owl or she's glad that Dr Who is on again soon.
12:27 pm
Atalante

12:27 pm
FMitch

12:27 pm
Haz1558

ChrissieDee

1:18 pm
Atalante

1:18 pm

so they were messing around and created a cartoon with elmer fudd using the assist. producers' voice as done by mel blanc with the lisp and all
1:19 pm
jmcnrick
they were screening it when the assist. producer walked in and watched and they thought . . . uh oh!
1:20 pm
jmcnrick
so at the end they turned to the assist. producer ready to take their licks when he said to them. .. "were did you ever come up wit such a silwy woice!"
1:21 pm
jmcnrick
and the rest, as they say, was history
1:22 pm

1:30 pm
crosshair

jmcnrick
c cleaner? but I am guessing this will not fix my network problem
1:30 pm
crosshair
no jmc lol
1:31 pm
jmcnrick
it wouldn't be such a pain except it means that I can't get into my computer remotely so I have to actually show up to work! *outraged look*
1:31 pm
Atalante
it does it for you ... asks you, of course, and explains what can be removed
1:31 pm
Atalante
tuneup is the dog's ********* lol
1:31 pm
crosshair
jmc,when was the last time you created a new network connection?

2:27 pm
Atalante
*pops in quickly* if PinnyPoppins pops in, could someone tell her to check her email, please! Thank you!
2:35 pm
Minveryork
Hi Atalante!I'll try to remember. Chog's very quiet so your message may still even show if she pops in later.
2:37 pm
Atalante
that's true :)
2:56 pm
Atalante
she saw my email, so all's ok :)
2:58 pm
Nancy Boy
Evening all. It's quiet!
2:58 pm
Minveryork
Good, because I probably wouldn't have remembered.
2:58 pm
Atalante
isn't it!
2:58 pm
Minveryork
Hi Nancy Boy! How are you? Welcome to the chat log!
2:59 pm
Minveryork
Or I should say welcome to a SILENT chat log Nancy.
2:59 pm
Nancy Boy
Hi, Minver, and thanks for the welcome ;)
I'm unused to this, Ata. Whenever there's less than 100 words it's so silent!
3:00 pm
Minveryork
Accidentally got my fireworks, kinda snuck up on me.
3:00 pm
Atalante
there needs to be a second grid on days like this
3:01 pm
Nancy Boy
nice one Minver :)
now can I be bothered to search for mine, or shall I just pull the kitty onto my lap and make Leo entertain me?
3:01 pm
Minveryork
I agree Atalante!
3:02 pm
Atalante
kitty time
3:02 pm
Minveryork
It's very doable in a had an hour Nancy Boy.Go for it!
3:02 pm
Minveryork
*half hour
3:03 pm
Nancy Boy
I've lost my way though Minver. I usually come here just for the chat!
3:04 pm
Minveryork
Nancy Boy,If you came here just for the chat,I'd say you would get more out of your kitty. LOL!
3:04 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL! She does have a very opinionated miaow. Guess I'll go play with her then! later, all :)
3:05 pm
Atalante
lol enjoy the kitty chat!

4:40 pm
featherbee
it was my final word, and the only one that really drove me crazy
4:40 pm
DR1965
good to know- maybe this will go fast then
4:41 pm
featherbee
it was the only one i actually got a clue for too. the rest were all by my bitty self!
4:41 pm
Unodia7
that iw4 was quite a handful, but got it by guessing :)
4:43 pm
Unodia7

4:45 pm
Unodia7

4:45 pm
DR1965

Hello folks. I've just been given the latest church quiz sheet. 100 questions to raise money for Christian Aid. 100 questions that the quiz master's son has come up with again after not doing much research on the internet, meaning that he takes the first answer he sees as gospel, meaning that most of it is wrong. *sigh*
10:29 pm

ho 4/6 is an ingredient in beer

A quiz raises money because you have to pay to do it. Then, if you turn up to see the results, you pay for food and drink.

yeah, that's it, grem...thx for the save!
11:10 pm
gremlinn
thought I'd "pitch" in
11:11 pm
Pinikula
nice hit! :)
11:14 pm
Pinikula
prediction?
11:15 pm
Pinikula
are you going to gander a guess this time?
11:15 pm
gremlinn

gremlinn
I think Babble is experiencing the recession.
11:16 pm
Pinikula
let's not push it! how about 138?
11:16 pm
gremlinn
Well, okay.
11:17 pm
Pinikula
so, while we have a moment...what's your strategy on doing a grid?
11:18 pm
gremlinn
At first I don't even look at the tile stats - I just type what I see as quickly as I can find them
11:18 pm
Pinikula
I do that, too...
11:19 pm
Pinikula
...you must also be an extremely quick typist.
11:19 pm
gremlinn
then when I start to slow down a bit, I see if there are any tiles with only a few words, and if so I try to clear those so I don't worry about starting on those letters any further (especially if the tiles are vowels, because lead vowel words tend to be slightly easier for me)
11:19 pm
Pinikula
makes sense
11:20 pm
gremlinn
I guess from then on it varies on how difficult it's been so far
11:20 pm
gremlinn
usually I'll switch to a tile with a lot of words still missing, hoping I'll find a good combo and clear a bunch
11:21 pm
gremlinn
then it might be time to pull up lickety or morewords to finish things off
11:21 pm
Pinikula
I like it when words roll into a bunch...makes my monkeys happier
11:22 pm
gremlinn
I like it when finishing a combo finishes the tile as well, instead of leaving just one word missing (frustrating)
11:22 pm
Pinikula
interestingly enough, I used to use Morewords, but haven't in a long time. Once I reach my "goals," Lickety and my monkey crew become my best friends. :)
11:23 pm
gremlinn
"one word left" on a tile tends to happen a lot - often I'll be in a situation like 10 words remaining on 8 or 9 different tiles
11:23 pm
Pinikula
have yet to figure out how to use a2z as an aid

hi jili
11:50 pm

good to be back, pini -- I missed you all!
11:50 pm
jillibus
Is that you, peri?
11:51 pm

yes it is, jili
11:51 pm
jillibus
pretty lady, peri !

Has anyone ever heard of cocoa mulch?
11:51 pm
periwinkle
thank you, jilli
11:52 pm
Pinikula
not me, ormal
11:52 pm
periwinkle
no Ormal
11:52 pm
jillibus
Not I, ormal
11:52 pm
Pinikula
I wonder if that could be an icon theme: self-pic?
11:53 pm
jillibus
It wouldn't be coco mulch? From coconuts?
11:53 pm
periwinkle
not sure, but I think it was, pini, but we could certainly to it again
11:53 pm
Ormal
hmm, I don't feel so left out now. TY! I got an email saying people's dogs are eating cocoa mulch and dying from it. I had never heard of it.
11:53 pm
Pinikula
would be fun, peri!
11:53 pm
Pinikula
(didn't realize I'd miss it before)
11:53 pm
jillibus
I think we should do it again -- great idea -- send it to sprite!
11:53 pm

it would PIni
11:54 pm

hi pini,peri,jilli,ormal!
11:54 pm
Pinikula
well, if you figure out what it is, ormal, let me know so I can keep my dog from chowing down ;)
11:54 pm
jillibus
oh well, chocolate (cocoa) is very bad for dogs
11:54 pm
Pinikula
hi robbie
11:54 pm
jillibus
hi robbie
11:54 pm
Pinikula
I'm not so sure Koda got the memo on that, jilli...
11:55 pm
robbie09
waiting for the flip!
11:55 pm
jillibus
but then there's coca too...
11:55 pm
Ormal
It's mulch made from the cocoa plant (chocolate contains a chemical that is toxic to dogs and cats), and apparently has a HIGH toxin content...
11:55 pm
jillibus
I hope the next grid is kind -- I'm pooped
11:55 pm
gremlinn
I hope it's kind of bigger.
11:55 pm
