In case anyone is wondering how ch 6 could be allowed, it's (1) an old Scottish unit of liquid measure equivalent to about a quart.

1:11 am

jillibus

I'm pretty much stuck with 45 left :(

1:12 am

gremlinn

got to last 9 and had to list - tough today

1:13 am

gremlinn

learned 3 new words

1:13 am

vashongin

bi 8 is something intel makes

1:13 am

gremlinn

it sounds like a cross between a belch and an insult

1:14 am

vashongin

the clue i just gave was for the bi 7

1:15 am

gremlinn

my comment was for the bi 8

1:15 am

gremlinn

(one of the 3 I'd never heard of)

1:15 am

vashongin

good one grem

1:15 am

jillibus

I'm afraid I'm still in the dark

1:15 am

flosey

working on it grem

1:16 am

gremlinn

bi4 + sc**** is an alcoholic drink

1:16 am

gremlinn

the online dictionary defines it as a variant of that bi4, oddly enough

1:17 am

flosey

tytyty grem, odd one

1:17 am

flosey

the word, that is

1:18 am

gremlinn

the pa8 looks very similar to that

1:18 am

jillibus

brain not working here

1:18 am

gremlinn

pa8 means "a Scot word for porridge"

1:18 am

jillibus

I can't think of an sc**** alcoholic drink

1:19 am

gremlinn

so just go for something that sounds vaguely the same

1:19 am

gremlinn

jilli: also hopsc****

1:19 am

gremlinn

(a children's game)

1:19 am

jmcnrick

not whiskey but sc****

1:20 am

jillibus

oh, stupid me -- ty grem!

1:20 am

jmcnrick

but i haven't found the bi4

1:20 am

gremlinn

bi4 sounds like what you might say when it's really cold

1:20 am

flosey

and thanks grem, for the pa8

1:21 am

gremlinn

phantom carnotite (I think it was a word in the first puzzle I played here)

1:21 am

jmcnrick

ty grem

1:21 am

jillibus

got that bi8 -- thanks, grem

1:21 am

gremlinn

and the pa8 is almost the same, and it sounds sort of like porridge

1:22 am

jmcnrick

oky i think i must crash

1:22 am

jmcnrick

good night all

1:23 am

jillibus

no def for the bi8 here, but google says "noun. onrush or driving force; impetus; a vibrant whirring sound."

1:23 am

jillibus

night jmc

1:24 am

jillibus

ah, got the pa8 too -- more thanks to grem

1:25 am

gremlinn

yeah, where I looked it up it said it was an intransitive verb meaning "to make or move with a [br4]"

1:25 am

gremlinn

Oops, bi4

1:26 am

gremlinn

the two 8s were new - the other new one was ap7

1:27 am

jillibus

no def here for pa8 either, but google agrees with grem

1:27 am

flosey

need that ap7 too

1:28 am

gremlinn

ap7 = a plant that reproduces by ap***xis (ap*** = same first 5 letters)

1:29 am

gremlinn

a + (many **ems rhyme) + (swing and a **ss!) + Hollywood a**or

1:29 am

flosey

ty grem

1:30 am

gremlinn

doesn't look much like a real word, does it?

1:30 am

jillibus

great clue, grem -- thanks!

1:31 am

flosey

no, doesn't

1:31 am

jillibus

I wonder what kind of reproduction that is,,,

1:31 am

flosey

never heard of it

1:32 am

gremlinn

[Ap******] is an asexual type of reproduction in which the plant embryos grow from egg cells without being fertilized by pollenâ€”the male part of the plant.

1:32 am

jillibus

I think there are lots of never-heard-of-it words here

1:32 am

gremlinn

Scientists use it to clone some plants, apparently.

1:33 am

gremlinn

And make new genetic hybrids.

1:33 am

jillibus

ty grem, I'll sleep peacefully knowing that ;)

1:35 am

jillibus

carotine is "not found in the dcitionary"

1:35 am

jillibus

or even in the dictionary

1:38 am

gremlinn

yeah, I was confident I had my first 8 when I tried it

1:38 am

gremlinn

It does have "carotene" though

1:39 am

jillibus

ah, I guess carotene is the correct speling

1:41 am

gremlinn

I do see a lot of web results for "carotine" though

1:41 am

gremlinn

I think it is just a common misspelling.

1:45 am

jillibus

probably

1:55 am

momof5

it is the ca7, tho

1:55 am

jillibus

hi katie

2:33 am

KatieMcG

hi Ruby how is your girl's limp today

2:34 am

rubyfoo

worse. her head practically hitsa the ground with each step.. She is eating normally, wagging her tail and isn't crying, and I massaged her foot, ankle, leg, elbow, shoulder etc without her limping, so tomorrow we go to the vet. It is very upsettin

2:35 am

rubyfoo

without her flinching* And of course DH is being nasty

2:35 am

KatieMcG

oh hold on in there, hopefully the vet can sort her out on Monday

2:35 am

rubyfoo

it is making me sick!

2:36 am

rubyfoo

normally, the vet would make a house call, but I think she needs an x-ray

2:37 am

KatieMcG

fingers crossed for her

2:37 am

rubyfoo

thank you

2:38 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine what it could be. Wouldn't she cry if it was arthritis?

2:38 am

flosey

how old is she ruby?

2:38 am

KatieMcG

i'm not sure ruby

2:39 am

rubyfoo

not quite 7 1/2

2:40 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately, these chows are very fragile! and we've had very bad luck with them, hence my worry

2:40 am

flosey

poor thing, hope the vet can help her

2:40 am

rubyfoo

and she's my favorite of the 5 we've had over the years

2:42 am

KatieMcG

i'm off to start packing, see you later x

2:42 am

2:43 am

flosey

down to 1 word, and can't get it, ne5, any clues please?

2:43 am

Sally-catlover

Could she have stone in her foot, or injury in some way?

2:43 am

rubyfoo

I checked all her parts as deeply as I could with my fingers and she never gflinched or pulled away

2:44 am

Sally-catlover

flosey, don't know if it's only one, but there is a favourite babblet: ne plus not bottom

2:44 am

rubyfoo

she's so valiant, but she wouldn't go for her usual walk this AM

2:44 am

flosey

tytyty Sally, that's it for fireworks

2:44 am

rubyfoo

chemical potatoe crisp??

3:19 am

Sally-catlover

bi plus vowel plus what Uk eats with fish!

3:20 am

Norma

Thanks ursh what a wonderful discription, thanks Sally that was a super clue xx

3:21 am

Norma

(( description)) even spelling gone to pot

3:23 am

Sally-catlover

Having to use lickety cos not much time, and I have to say of the words I have eventually monkeyed I have never ever heard of in my life (not that one)

3:24 am

Norma

I am finding that more the case each day, either these words are being made up or my vocabulary is as good as I thought it was lol

3:25 am

rubyfoo

great clue, sally, never would have gotten it

3:25 am

rubyfoo

I just pulled up the tallest dandelion I've ever seen, close to two feet!

3:25 am

Norma

The bi8 is case and point if that isn't a made up word I don't know what is lol

3:26 am

Sally-catlover

No, I couldn't find a definition for that one either

3:26 am

rubyfoo

that's funny, I got a bi7, can't imagine the 8!

3:26 am

Sally-catlover

And the last ca 6/24 is the silliest word I ever heard of!

3:27 am

Norma

Haven't got that one yet

3:27 am

rubyfoo

hint for it?

3:27 am

rubyfoo

or either 8?

3:28 am

Sally-catlover

the ca 6/24: start with a three-letter vehicle, then three letters which mean not bottom. Then look up the definition!!

3:29 am

Sally-catlover

can't even begin to clue the bi 8, except that it's bi plus double consonant, which should get you started.

3:29 am

Norma

bi4/6 + when you get an **** you scratch it, just change the first vowel

3:29 am

rubyfoo

that is ridiculous, but ty anyway, sally

3:30 am

Sally-catlover

did yoiu get the ca 6 ruby?

3:30 am

rubyfoo

yup, both of them. One should be capitalized !! and the other is just plain silly

3:30 am

rubyfoo

shd I make husband apologize, or just let it go?

3:31 am

rubyfoo

he does this every Sunday

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

?

3:32 am

rubyfoo

he gets nasty about really minor stuff

3:32 am

Norma

Going to watch the Marathon see you all later

3:32 am

rubyfoo

it's horrible because we're both upset about the dog and I really don't need additional tension!

3:33 am

rubyfoo

sally, you're the expert at calm.....

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, just one suggestion then I must go (hear stirring noises from upstairs!). Can you just say to him, look, either we live here together and try to get along and be civilised to each other, or do you want to go our separate ways? I know from what you've said before you can't do that, but the choice might actually focus him and see what his actions do to you. Just a thought, and said in a nice reasonable way, not an accusing way :-) I know it's difficult ...

I am from Perth too Ani , wasn't it a lovely day today

4:18 am

anike

Very nice sandy - son took us for a drive in his old car (classic) and then prawns on the barbie at he and his sisters house. Very relaxed family day.

4:18 am

anike

fireworks

4:19 am

sandyloo

I went to a horse show and it was lovely sitting on the grass watching the horses

4:19 am

anike

We watched some anzac things in the morning of course - always think of my dear dad today

4:19 am

sandyloo

I love these warm days and cold nights - but I love strorms too - How did you fare in the 'Great Storm"

4:20 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

4:20 am

sandyloo

My husband's grandfather was in that war and we have all his medals

4:20 am

sandyloo

hi lynxx

4:20 am

lynxxx

eww who is this Buswell, think you should lose him Sandy & Anike

4:21 am

anike

My daughters car was trashed - needs a new roof and bonnet. We need our family room ceiling painted etc - had a flood there.

4:21 am

anike

Troy Buswell is a fool to himself - intelligent man who never grew up

4:22 am

sandyloo

I don't like any of the politicians we have around at the moment

4:23 am

anike

Not an inspiring bunch really, are they sandy?

4:23 am

sandyloo

We have a house in Nedlands - broken windows, leak in roof and the girls that rent it all had their cars dented

4:23 am

sandyloo

Indeed they are not Ani, especially 'Mr Sheen'

4:23 am

lynxxx

were you both covered by insurance for everything?

4:24 am

anike

My son works in Nedlands at a car dealership - every car, new and used, was damaged. Son was fortunately on his way home early so his precious car survived.

4:24 am

sandyloo

We are covered for damage to the house- yes! Only one of the three girls was covered for her car - I feel so sorry for them

4:25 am

anike

Insurance covers all our problems

4:26 am

anike

I sometimes wish we could go back to some of the old ones

4:26 am

sandyloo

I had just put the horses in the stable when the hail started here, so I felt happy for them - We sat and watched the storm for ages out here at the 'farm' it was fantastic to see the rain- our paddocks are turned green now

4:26 am

anike

Politicians, I mean - but not the WA Inc. ones

4:27 am

sandyloo

My mum has a hailstone in her freezer which is as big as a golfball - she's in Applecross

4:28 am

sandyloo

I agree about the old polies but I did like John Howard

4:28 am

sandyloo

pollies

4:28 am

anike

We had them that size here in Hillarys apparently - I was at work so didn't see them

4:28 am

lynxxx

4:29 am

sandyloo

I was brought up in Applecross, it's a lovely suburb

4:29 am

anike

I had better go and ice my cake - my mother in law is coming out of nursing home tomorrow for birthday lunch.

4:30 am

sandyloo

You better do a great job then Ani

4:30 am

anike

I lived in Applecross for a couple of years and went to primary school there before we moved to Albany

4:31 am

sandyloo

Hey ,I went to Applecross Primary 1956-191962

sandyloo

4:35 am

anike

Actually my profile needs updating - I'm 58 (59 later this year). I had Mrs Allen and another male teacher - but left part way through that year to go to Albany. Had Mr Jeans but can't remember which year

4:36 am

sandyloo

Wow, How funny!! Mr Jeans always taught Grade 5 I think and he was my favourite teacher

4:36 am

sandyloo

I'm 60 this year

4:37 am

sandyloo

We always went down to Applecross Jetty to swim after school

4:38 am

anike

Probably a year ahead of me. I came to grade 5 from Kununoppin in 1962

4:38 am

sandyloo

I had a boyfriend called Graham Sell who was from Albany - he did a lot of skin diving

4:38 am

sandyloo

I lived in Gairloch Street

sandyloo

Mum is still there and has built a lovely new house on her block

Trying to think of some names - Anne Marris, Ronelea Coney

4:41 am

sandyloo

My sister went there too, her name was Megan Jessup

4:41 am

anike

Reason I came in and out is that my dad was a bank manager and we moved around a bit

4:42 am

sandyloo

I have met a lot of old pupils as I grew up , they have mostly done incredibly well over the years

4:42 am

anike

Brett and Jonathon Townsend - Brett died in grade 7

4:43 am

sandyloo

I remember Sheryl Kay, Diane Johnson, Julie Fletcher Bruce Byfield and lots of other

4:43 am

anike

Someone you might know because he was your age - Bob Symes (another bank brat)

4:43 am

sandyloo

How did Brett die? That sounds awful

4:43 am

anike

Brain tumour

4:44 am

sandyloo

Oh how horrible and very sad

4:44 am

sandyloo

Small world eh?

4:45 am

anike

It was - the class was told at start of year that he was sick and we were to be protective of him - he passed away just after I left.

4:45 am

sandyloo

You and I have been on Babble for ages and we now discover this? How fabulous

4:45 am

anike

It is a small world indeed.

4:45 am

anike

It is a small world indeed.

4:46 am

5:35 am

sprite

rotten... yet another flu, me and my girl.
How was yours?

5:36 am

lynxxx

Sorry to hear that Sprite - you must tell your kids to quit bringing home these bugs! My week was good - nothing special though

5:36 am

sprite

a good week is lovely, glad you had one :)

5:37 am

sprite

lol I wouldn't dare suggest it, my girl feels bad enough as it is. Had to tell her it wasn't her fault in any way.

5:38 am

lynxxx

Do you get flu shots each season?

5:39 am

sprite

yes I do. Still, not all viruses are covered by the shots. My resistance is zero since the allergy to antibiotics. Will take some time to rebuild.

5:40 am

lynxxx

I hope this one passes quickly for you

5:41 am

sprite

thank you. I am sure it will. If tomorrow brings warm weather, I will take Caya and myself outside, in a blanket, in the sun. Much better than indoors!

clue for ca 6/27

8:39 am

Mom

automobile + not bottom

8:40 am

hurshy

so i heard something interesting in a talk yesterday which never would have occurred to me. the talk was about service animals for the disabled. the speaker mentioned, as an aside, that it has occurred to some that it would make much more sense to pair the physically disabled with the mentally disabled. the mentally disabled could cook and so forth and be better at doing physical stuff than, say, a helper monkey, and would be in a more protected and good environment than a lot of group homes and things, and both would have companionship. yet people don't do it, and what's more, people are very willing to donate money for training helper monkeys, but not willing to donate for this kind of thing, even though it would be much more economical. thoughts?

8:40 am

Mom

opps wrong word, sorry

8:40 am

Anniebrook

ca 6----nice bacation spot, warm weather

8:40 am

Boobear

it worked Mom

8:40 am

8:41 am

periwinkle

hey there crossy

8:41 am

Mom

I'm glad Boo

8:41 am

crosshair

howdy everyone;)

8:41 am

Mom

Hi {{Crossy}}

8:41 am

Anniebrook

*vacation

8:41 am

Anniebrook

Crosssy!!!! I need to ask a question

8:41 am

crosshair

go right ahead annie;))

8:41 am

hurshy

so wherein do you think the aversion lies? does it seem like one party would be "using" the other, rather than it being mutually beneficial? or do we just think it's so much cooler and cuter to use monkeys?

8:42 am

periwinkle

Cancun is not in the grid ;)

8:42 am

stef01*

carribean, but different

8:42 am

Flask1

would it not be too mentally challenging for the physically disabled person?

8:42 am

hurshy

i don't know, flask - in what way would you imagine?

8:42 am

Anniebrook

crossy, do you know about HDMI wires or cables?

8:43 am

crosshair

ok for example,my wife needs a seeing eye dog,would a mentaly disabled person be able to judge correctly safety in all situations when my wife is moving around outside? just a thought

8:43 am

hurshy

*wants to know about HDMI also*

8:43 am

Flask1

well....they would have to have their wits about them at ALL times.....

8:44 am

hurshy

don't they already have to?

8:44 am

Flask1

and would they have accepts responsibility for the mentally disabled partner?

8:44 am

hurshy

that is a good question, for sure.

8:44 am

crosshair

i know many cables and wire hook ups but that is not one of them(can you be specific as to usage of this wire type?

8:45 am

periwinkle

bbl

8:45 am

hurshy

crossy - i think that you could probably make sure that they could - you wouldn't have the very severely mentally handicapped involved.

8:45 am

Nancy Boy

Hi, all. Oooh, Crossy's answering a MAN question!

8:45 am

Mom

bye Peri

8:45 am

Nancy Boy

Hi, all. Oooh, Crossy's answering a MAN question!

8:45 am

Hi NancyBoy

8:45 am

Nancy Boy

oops. once was enough, sorry.

8:45 am

hurshy

HDMI computer hook up to TV for display

8:45 am

crosshair

not really nancy,technology goes faster than ole crossy sometimes

8:46 am

Anniebrook

I have a flat screen TV that I want to hook up to High Def. but the picture sometimes is distorted and the sound skips. I was told a HDMI would fix this but before I go out and spend $80 I would like to know if this is the solution.

8:46 am

Nancy Boy

goes too fast for ME, Crossy. Sometimes the cat unplugs cables just to tease me.

8:47 am

crosshair

sorry ladies,i would have to google information same as you in this case;(((

8:47 am

Mom

half way for me, be back later. Hats off to all who get fireworks. {{Hugs}}

8:47 am

Anniebrook

Thanks crossy...will google and try to understand

8:48 am

Anniebrook

bye (((Mom)))

8:48 am

Mom

{{Annie}} have a great day

8:48 am

hurshy

i want to hook up my laptop to play online videos on my HD tv, and i don't know, even after googling, how to make sure i get the right one for my gen of macbook and how to know if it will have both audio and video and whether i already have too much other crap plugged into the TV to do it!

8:48 am

crosshair

i DO know that not just any flat screen should be hooked up to high def,you need a high def tv for a high def hook up,and cable companies usually supply all cables with ther high def boxes

8:49 am

Boobear

does anyone have the ca 7

8:49 am

Flask1

Sorry Hurshy wasn't ignoring you......pc crashed!

8:49 am

Anniebrook

The Cablevision tech (the 3 rd one that came to solve this) mentioned HDMI wire.

8:49 am

hurshy

sounds kind of like the vitamin, beta ca________

8:50 am

hurshy

'sok flask!

8:50 am

crosshair

and hursy is you lappy high def capable,many are not you may end up looking at 2 inches of black screen on each side

8:50 am

Boobear

ty

8:50 am

hurshy

i don't care about picture quality, i just want to be able to view things on a larger screen.

8:51 am

hurshy

i mean, i'm assuming the pic quality would be roughly the same as the laptop, not worse, but that is fine with me.

8:52 am

crosshair

i know it can be done hurshy,i was in staples the other day and they had 6 different lappys all hooked up to one giant flat screen for demo usage

8:52 am

hurshy

i suppose that's the key, go into a store to get a cable, instead of buying online.

8:53 am

crosshair

sometimes even crossy uses the geek squad;/

8:53 am

hurshy

what a NICE miss mitty i have.

8:54 am

Anniebrook

crossy, the Geek Squad hooked up my TV..so they would be able to give me the answer to all this...???

8:54 am

crosshair

8:54 am

Anniebrook

okay, crossy, will do. thanks

8:54 am

crosshair

hurshy

8:56 am

crosshair

see my television is still pretty primitive as i do not have much use for cable channels full of garbage..hehe i still have a actual running vcr and about 100 tapes when i want a movie lol

8:56 am

hurshy

8:57 am

crosshair

you do win though Crossy - we have a record player but only for the sake of the handful of records we own. Usually, it's iPods and docks!

9:04 am

Atalante

9:04 am

hurshy

domesticated dogs aren't older than bread, and views of particular places aren't universal enough.

No, lawyer. Real bunnies cannot be eaten.

Nope. I know that Haas = rabbit in German.

what does rabbit even taste like? I'm not a meat-eater.

10:09 am

chicken

10:10 am

Nancy Boy

everything tastes like chicken apparently ;) crocodile, frogs legs, humans...!

10:10 am

lawyer-1

and don't say I should just eat chicken!

10:11 am

Nancy Boy

LOL. I'm a vegan so even chicken is too far!

10:12 am

Scrabbler

NB, I am a vegetarian that is seriously pondering going vegan.

10:12 am

jan

Our French neighbor finds the American attitude towards eating rabbit puzzling. She went to a supermarket when she first arrived--a market stocked with all kinds and cuts of meat, but no rabbit. When she asked about it, the meat counter guy reacted as though she's asked for a nice tender roast of baby!

10:13 am

LeslieAnn

LOL jan, maybe she should try asking for some roast baby

10:13 am

Scrabbler

Jan, I have had pet rabbits since 1983, with 4 of them now.

10:13 am

lawyer-1

nothing wrong with cannibalism

10:13 am

lawyer-1

but, people don't taste like chicken

10:14 am

Nancy Boy

well I can only recommend it Scrabbs - on the orders of the nurse at my school (silly woman) I was a meat-eater again for a while, but now back to veganism and never felt healthier. Only problem is that it can be inconvenient in restaurants!

10:14 am

Erda

clue for ap7 please?

10:14 am

I understand those with pet rabbits being off put--I doubt I could eat guinea pig in Peru.

10:14 am

Well, I have been awake for 3 hrs now. It is time to accomplish some of my tasks. First I must drive into town to shop.

not to criticize but don't understand why rabbit but not guinea pig?

10:15 am

cuz I'm a lawyer!

10:15 am

LeslieAnn

hahahahaha

10:16 am

Shirlockc

i find american palates rather unadverturous

10:16 am

Nancy Boy

lol!

10:16 am

jan

Because I never had a pet rabbit--in fact, they're kind of pests in my neighborhood, but we did have a succession of guinea pigs when the kids were little. I have no objection to others who eat guinea pig, but I'm not sure I could myself.

10:17 am

Erda

ap7 please?

10:17 am

Nancy Boy

I think it's the other way around Shirlock - all the Americans I know seem to eat such a wide range of food from other cultures. I think they'd probably be surprised that other countries eat such a predictable menu.

Nancy Boy, when my husband went to India for work he was warned to take a suitcase of food, because "the food over there isn't very good".

10:19 am

Shirlockc

really, Nancy Boy? I live in NYC and there are lots of people here who do "ethnic" but still not beyond their usual

10:19 am

Shirlockc

chicken, beef, pork

10:19 am

erda - ap + vowel + abbr. for what singers sing into + consonant

10:19 am

Nancy Boy

LOL! SamanthaJoy...that's crazy

10:19 am

LeslieAnn

sorry it's hard to clue

10:20 am

SamanthaJoy

Yep. But he works in a very traditional area; don't confuse 'the Americans you know" with "most Americans". :-)

10:20 am

Nancy Boy

I guess you'd know better than me if you live there, Shirlock! I'm comparing it to where I'm from - always eat very trationally there

10:20 am

Nancy Boy

*traditionally even

10:20 am

jan

Some Americans are pretty unadventurous--my mother refuses to eat anything remotely "ethnic" including fast food tacos! Others are more adventurous--though we still underutilize organ meats in this country. I feel that if you are going to eat animals, you ought to eat as much of them as possible so as not to waste the sacrifice of a being.

10:20 am

10:21 am

I've eaten some pretty out-there things, I think. Sheep intestines on a stick in TGurkey, sea slugs in China.

10:21 am

LeslieAnn

what do sea slugs taste like?

10:22 am

SamanthaJoy

jan, it doesn't get wasted. It gets put into fertilizers and dog food and things you'd never think of, but it doesn't get wasted--that wouldn't be good capitalism

10:22 am

or into mechanically recovered meat. ew ew ew.

10:23 am

Nancy Boy

'cause for some reason, the western world just loves the taste of carcass.

10:23 am

jan

Just like you's think--most of a texture than a flavor. An acquired taste I think.

10:23 am

SamanthaJoy

Yep, Nancy, it's gross but it lasts forever and it's better than being hungry

10:23 am

Boobear

clue for the bi 7 pls

10:23 am

LeslieAnn

yes i would think it tastes slimy. :)

10:24 am

Shirlock, you're so right. Mass production of animals is leading to more diseases and repulsive practices than mere killing of them.

Oh, great. Now I have a phantom of "carrion"

10:25 am

LOL! how very topical

10:25 am

jan

Here's a story about Americans and organ meat: My husband (who is British) makes a fine steak and kidney pie. We were having some guests over and asked if they'd like to try it. The wife said, "would you mind substituting for the steak? I don't mind the kidney beans, of course." !

10:26 am

jbp

my phantom is nicotine

10:26 am

LeslieAnn

haha best not to explain that to her then jan

10:26 am

jan

Mine is cioppino

10:26 am

Shirlockc

v. funny, jan

10:26 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, jan, that is hilarious!!

10:27 am

jan

We ended up making a cauliflower and cheese pie instead.

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

Did you clue her in, or just quietly change plans and move on?

10:29 am

jan

Nah, we figured if the steak grossed her out, the idea that we might have included kidneys would have been beyond the pale.

10:29 am

jbp

or the pail.

10:29 am

jbp

;-)

10:29 am

LeslieAnn

haha jbp

10:29 am

SamanthaJoy

See, I *am* beyond the pale--I would have offered to make her spotted dick instead

10:30 am

LeslieAnn

oh my

10:30 am

jbp

yeah, but theres no meat there.

10:30 am

SamanthaJoy

If she leapt to the conclusion that all kidneys are beans, I would have left her to draw her own conclusions!

10:31 am

jan

Could be suet though. (In fact, there should be, in my culinary opinion.)

10:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Isn't that kind of the definition? It's a suet pudding?

10:32 am

jan

True, but nowadays a lot of people substitute vegetable shortening. Which doesn't rally substitute that well, because it melts at a lower temperature and makes the pudding too hard and dense.

10:33 am

jbp

i had a date like that once. ;-)

10:33 am

SamanthaJoy

Hard? Dense? Vegetable-like?

10:33 am

LeslieAnn

spotted dick?

10:33 am

jbp

hee

10:34 am

jan

I know about these things because I have a Brit hubby who likes his puddings every now and then and a vegetarian daughter, so for years we substituted.

10:34 am

SamanthaJoy

If his name was Mike and he propositioned the waitress, I had the same date.

10:34 am

2:15 pm

jillibus

2:15 pm

Shivs Fitz

I wouldn't have it at all, except they were all on there!

2:15 pm

Pinikula

Not too bad ... I can't stand Facebook, too busy!

2:15 pm

Shivs Fitz

Right, Pinikula.

2:16 pm

Anyway, I'd better get on with this beast --17 left

2:18 pm

Shivs Fitz

That's why I like email games!

2:19 pm

Pinikula

2:19 pm

Shivs Fitz

If you play Lexulous through Facebook, can't you play a game with someone who's signed into the Lexulous web site? I bet you can!!

2:20 pm

Pinikula

unfortunately, no, shivs

2:20 pm

Pinikula

2:22 pm

MPittore

2:22 pm

jillibus

Shivs, if you go to FB you can get the little blue Lex icon and click on it to go to the game. It's a totally different site from the web page

2:23 pm

Pinikula

shivs...started an email game...(never done that before - this is a first)

2:23 pm

Shivs Fitz

No, I avoid signing into there like the plague, LOL. Get hit with too much rubbish every time I do!! I'm on the Lexulous site already, gone into the lounge.

2:23 pm

jillibus

although I suppose you can only have games with your FB friends -- I wonder.

2:24 pm

Pinikula

shivs, the lounge is full, won't let me in

2:24 pm

Pinikula

true, jilli...

2:24 pm

dcseain

yes Lexulous in FB allows you to limit to friends, and remove from the general search there. {poof for real}

2:24 pm

Pinikula

oh, wait...no, you can play with anyone...they don't need to be your "friend"

2:24 pm

Pinikula

hi/bye dc! (yeah, what dc said)

2:25 pm

jillibus

OK, I give up! But it has a progress graph, and a place for notes, et etc which the email site didn't have last time I looked.

2:25 pm

jillibus

hi/bye dc!

2:25 pm

Pinikula

I like playing via FB

2:26 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh? Maybe I should make a separate account on there, so I don't have to sign into the one I have where I'm hit with too much junk each time I sign in, LOL!!

2:26 pm

jillibus

Me too -- are you Pini there?

2:26 pm

Shivs Fitz

I'm in The Lounge on the Lexulous web site, Pini. I don't see you there??

2:26 pm

Pinikula

shivs, you can limit your "junk" mail in FB by changing your privacy settings

2:26 pm

Pinikula

2:27 pm

Pinikula

(used the email addy in your babble profile)

2:27 pm

Shivs Fitz

It isn't mail I'm talking about! It's all those silly things friends send at you, expecting you to accept and return!! Gets mighty annoying!

2:27 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh no, LOL. Better to use my google email!

2:27 pm

Pinikula

2:28 pm

Shivs Fitz

I don't know, I never have time to go through all the settings there!! I am too busy to be online much as is!

I was dragged back, kicking and screaming, LOL!

2:29 pm

Anytime you see one of those posts, just hover to the right and select 'Hide'. Then FB gives you the option to hide the application or the person.

usually, z-pack is 5 days, but for pertussis, they recommend longer... but i have been off it for a week, so see no reason to start now, the cat is out of the bag

2:43 pm

Pinikula

thx wild!

2:43 pm

the literature says there is no point in treating late pertussis.... so I will suffer... but ONLY for 6 weeks!

Thanks again Pini, big help!!

2:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

I attended a dog parade with my dog and my sister's dog. We only saw pa 4/5 of the parade since we got there late. I'm surprised my sister's dog didn't cause a ri 4/4 and bi 4/6 anyone in the cro 5/14.She is a ti 4/6 dog,but can be feisty. She's a bi5/18 sometimes. Sometimes she can have a big ch 4/6 on her shoulder At times I want to just ch4/7 off her mouth because she barks a lot. The po5/12 that I am trying to make is that she's a great dog,but she's a pain sometimes. Anyway, I wanted to push her in a ca 4/5 during the parade, but she would not stay in it. She and my dog tr 4/4ed along with all of the other dogs. My sister's dog doesn't like to goto other places much. She likes to say inside a ho 4/8 house. I in5/10duced the dogs to many people. I do not think she liked it there. She was it 4/6ing to leave and hell be 4/6 on going home. Jack, the dog that's mi4/5, loved the parade.He was not impa4/6ed by it much.There were vendors there so I bought some na5/14s.After the parade we went in4/4 a diner to eat lunch.Now I'm going to go in 4/4 the kitchen to make dinner. I will be here off and on to clue for the rest of the ni4/4.Hope this helped out

ZeStY, below the 2 grids on the left is a "Friends of babble list. There are 2 sites there to try: Licketys Babble Clues and AngelSongs Babble page

10:26 pm

Pinikula

if you've ever played Boggle, it's very similar to that...simply make words using the letters connecting in consecutive order (any direction)

10:26 pm

ZeStY421

former tangleword junkie

10:26 pm

Pinikula

then you should be a shoe-in...lots of former T players here

10:27 pm

ZeStY421

but what do the friends of sites do?

10:27 pm

Pinikula

when people ask for a clue (i.e., bi4/6), they're probably getting the hint from Lickety's list

10:28 pm

ZeStY421

im sorry guys, i used to hate ppl that asked easy ? s like this... im just having trouble with this set up for some reason, so ty for dealing with me

10:28 pm

Nef

Licketys Page give you a list of the first 2 letters of the words and their counts and scores (ap 7/40 (for ex)

10:28 pm

Pinikula

the BI are the first two letters, the first number is the number of letters (in this case 4), the number after is the po5 value (in this case 6)

10:29 pm

Pinikula

no need to feel awkward, zesty...we all started out the same way...ask away!

10:29 pm

Nef

but AngelSongs Babble page helps explain things better and gives the A toZ lists for 4, 5, 6, letter words (if you need that

10:29 pm

Nef

but AngelSongs Babble page helps explain things better and gives the A toZ lists for 4, 5, 6, letter words (if you need that

10:30 pm

Jellen

10:30 pm

10:30 pm

Nef

Hey, we like new meat here! ;-) Err, I mean new addicts

10:30 pm

ZeStY421

10:30 pm

ZeStY421

lmao nef

10:31 pm

Pinikula

co6 = co**** Feldman (tv)

10:31 pm

Pinikula

that's where Lickety's Babble Clues come in handy, zesty....open the list in a different window and follow the directions (not as hard as it may seem)

10:31 pm

Pinikula

the second co6 = apple ***e + metal can

10:31 pm

Nef

We are a friendly bunch , ZeStY.

10:37 pm

ZeStY421

haha grrr

10:37 pm

Pinikula

when you press Bulk Add, the list will populate with the words you've already found...then just look at the hints that are still blank...ask away!

10:38 pm

Nef

ZeStY, do you have ANY words entered yet in your word list?

10:38 pm

ZeStY421

10:39 pm

Nef

YAY!! Copy and paste them into the Bulk Add box (WAY down at the Bottom of Licketys list) and then it should give you hints of what you do and don't have

10:39 pm

ZeStY421

10:40 pm

rururocks

?? what? me ... funny? who...me?

10:40 pm

Oh. The grid changes once every 24 hours, at 12 MN CST

10:40 pm

Pinikula

yeah, you, ru! LOL

10:40 pm

ZeStY421

nef- pini helped me do that, but im still lost after it thanks anyways though... the chart thing confuses the crap out of me lol

10:41 pm

Pinikula

did your words go into the list, zesty? if so, pick a word that is still blank and let us know what the stats for it say; we'll give you a clue for it

10:42 pm

Jellen

pa 7/36?

10:42 pm

ZeStY421

nothing is blank its all 2 letters on the left

10:42 pm

Pinikula

pa + hook + patr****

10:43 pm

Pinikula

those should be there, zesty...there should be a blank to the right of each where your word will go (if you have it or when you get it)

10:43 pm

Nef

okay, I just hit half way and did the same thing with my list. I'm still missing the bottom ro4/4 on that list, so I need to look for another ro 4 letter word where each letter is worth only 1 point and it has to follow the word above it

10:44 pm

Pinikula

Nef, you'd better get to work! :)

10:44 pm

Jellen

Not getting it....

ZeStY421

10:48 pm

ZeStY421

10:48 pm

ZeStY421

"bi6 = ***graphy + *** toc goes the clock" -- Pinikula

10:55 pm

Nef

Hi Mark

10:55 pm

Pinikula

hey, I remember that one, grem! :)

10:56 pm

gremlinn

figured it would be easier to open the archive and search for "bi6" in the browser

10:56 pm

Pinikula

smarty!

10:56 pm

Marc Freeman

Thanks gremlinn but the bi clue was for bi6/27 not bi6/24?

10:56 pm

Nef

(dog's gotta "help" now. seems to need some attention)

10:56 pm

Pinikula

***graphy + metal can

10:56 pm

Marc Freeman

Hi Nef

10:57 pm

gremlinn

Ah, change the last letter

10:57 pm

10:57 pm

Nef

bi 6/27 is a medicine that cures: Antibi****

11:00 pm

Pinikula

* wonders if zesty's coming back with beer for all *

11:01 pm

Nef

I hope so (even if I don't drink the stuff). I'd use it to activate my compost pile

11:01 pm

Jellen

Fireworks!

11:01 pm

Pinikula

wtg jellen!

11:01 pm

Nef

YAY, Jellen!!! WTG!!!!

hello everyone -- grats, jellen

11:03 pm

Pinikula

hi nan

11:03 pm

fuzzybunny

Thank you Zesty for asking the questions about how to understand babblese! I had been wondering the same thing. Thank you to Nef, Pink and all the rest of you for the instructions on how to use Lickety. I now know what I am doing for the first time since I started playing this game!

11:03 pm

cybernan

did you finish pini?

11:03 pm

Nef

add some sugar and mix it and the beer together, put on your compost and boy does the bacteria get happy and you get good black dirt! :-)

11:03 pm

Pinikula

yeah, fuzzy!!! glad to have helped! :)

11:03 pm

Jellen

Hi, nan and fuzzybunny

11:03 pm

Pinikula

I did, nan ;)

11:04 pm

Pinikula

I'll have to remember that, Nef ;)

11:04 pm

Pinikula

oh, and welcome aboard, fuzzy

11:04 pm

cybernan

some new players, I see --- welcom fuzzy and zesty

11:05 pm

fuzzybunny

Thanks, I have been an avid boggle/wordsplay fan for a long time and heard about babble from players over there.

11:05 pm

Nef

hi nan and fuzzy. Don't be afraid to ask questions, fuzzy. We all have to learn someday

11:05 pm

gremlinn

that's how I heard about it

11:05 pm

Pinikula

glad to have you, fuzzy

11:06 pm

fuzzybunny

Glad to be here! You are all very helpful and friendly. How do you get an avatar and profile?

11:06 pm

Pinikula

you turn pro (by paying a one-time lifetime membership fee)

11:07 pm

gremlinn

But no need to rush into that - I think you get 2 weeks with all the features, and after that it just hides some of the clues unless you upgrade

11:07 pm

Pinikula

(your fireworks go away after the first 2-wks, going pro lets you have 'em forever)

11:07 pm

Nef

So, for around $15.00, you can look good like us! ;-)

11:07 pm

fuzzybunny

Will have to wait until tomorrow, it is getting late and I get up at 6. See you all tomorrow. Thanks so much for the help tonight.

11:08 pm

Pinikula

gee, right to the po5, nef! LOL

11:08 pm

Pinikula

11:09 pm

Tanja

HI all <waves>

11:09 pm

Pinikula

hi tanja

11:09 pm

cybernan

yes -- just after you left this morning

11:09 pm

Nef

I've been away from the game for most of the week, Pini. Sorry for being too blunt! :-P

11:09 pm

Pinikula

oh, sorry to have missed your sparklers!

11:09 pm

cybernan

hi tanja

11:09 pm

Pinikula

not blunt at all, nef...I just thought the cut to the chase was cute! :)

11:10 pm

Nef

hi Tanja. I just leaned all about ANZAC Day this weekend

11:10 pm

cybernan

off for 45 minutes with my book before the flip :) bbl

11:10 pm

Pinikula

cya soon, nan

11:12 pm

Nef

Pini, I'm just being weird tonight. Trying to finish the grid; but wanting to chat more. DH has had a relapse in his MS and is on high-dose steroids; I think I'm acting like *I'm* the one on the steroids!

11:13 pm

Tanja

yes big weekend here in australia - the kids are all sleeping between the four of them they all did a night vigil then a dawn service each then 2 day services and finished a dusk service - lots os sleeping today:)

11:13 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ro5-14 the 2nd? Thannks

11:13 pm

Pinikula

oh my, sorry to hear, nef...you're not being weird at all, it's more cute/fun than anything! You're definitely making me grin! :)

11:13 pm

Tanja

and this is a horrible gridI am only halfway

11:13 pm

Pinikula

11:14 pm

Pinikula

11:15 pm

Pinikula

11:15 pm

Pinikula

and, nef, I do hope it turns around some and he feels better...

11:15 pm

Tanja

clue for the bi7 please

11:16 pm

Nef

I don't know what the correct saying would be for ANZAC Day, Tanja. But I think it's important that no one forget what it's a;; about.

11:16 pm

Pinikula

auto***graphy + potato ****s and dip

11:17 pm

Tanja

the most common words used are "lest we forget: and "we shall remember them"

11:17 pm

Nef

Pini, he's doing better; that's why I have time to Babble. Steroids are wonderful but the steroid high effect is unbelieveable internally.

11:18 pm

Nef

thanks, Tanja. We shall remember them for sure

11:18 pm

Pinikula

* wince * still hope it does good; glad you have some time to rest (although not sure babble is rest)

11:20 pm

Nef

LOL! I take whatever breaks I can from the stress, Pini. Babble is a good break

11:20 pm

Pinikula

* smile *

11:21 pm

11:32 pm

11:36 pm

Pinikula

to break down the value of a word: 4 ltr words are worth the combine value of the tiles; 5 ltrs are the same x 2; 6 ltrs x 3, etc...

11:37 pm

Nef

thanks, ga. I appreciate it

11:37 pm

Pinikula

but you needn't worry too much about that now...just didn't want you to think your math skills were too far off when you started looking at values!

11:37 pm

Pinikula

from here, too, Nef!

11:38 pm

ZeStY421

pini how do you know all of this???

ZeStY421

brb, then you can tell me the truth lol

11:40 pm

flosey

just in to change icon

11:40 pm

sometimes I think Babble Family is more than just a group of online chatters/gamers

11:40 pm

11:40 pm

Zesty, she finished the grid! She has time! ;-)

11:42 pm

Pinikula

(jammie time)

11:42 pm

Nef

I think that that is the truth, Pini. I've found 2 sites on the web where people seem more like family than just chatters and gamers

11:43 pm

gapeach

Oh, I had not given your name a cap P.

11:43 pm

Tanja

giving up for today on this puzzle shall just wait for the next one - my shoulder is sore

11:43 pm

Nef

(but the other site is a small private nursing bulletin board; so we are connected by our work. Babble is unique that wya

11:45 pm

Nef

What did you do to your shoulder, Tanja?

11:45 pm
