MLFAN17

QU6

12:14 am

12:15 am

jillibus

Wow! You should write them down!

12:16 am

herinfernallady

12:24 am

MLFAN17

can someone give me another webpage besides Morewords i havent been able to get that page to work very well

12:25 am

Douglas

Well, yes, but this one seems to be particularly tied to crosswords

12:25 am

jillibus

mlf, if you go to Resources in Expert, there's A2Z

12:25 am

Douglas

"Holy ****, Batman!" "Why Robin, I didn't know you could yodel."

12:25 am

jillibus

But morewords works like a dream

12:26 am

Brain is frumbling with seven, count 'em, seven blank tiles

It's tricky to have 40% of the words with seven blank tiles

12:40 am

jillibus

12:40 am

stidmama

hello all! how's the grid?

You might know some things I don't know readily

12:45 am

stidmama

sweet dream flosey, thanks for the advice earlier, it did help for me to actually rest.

12:45 am

stidmama

I made it to the play!

12:45 am

12:47 am

stidmama

12:47 am

Douglas

There was a parked car that exploded in Times Square

12:47 am

jillibus

he's towering over the family, though, eh?

12:49 am

stidmama

oh yes, jill -- 8 or more inches taller than I am, 9 taller than his brother!! he is now responsible for light bulbs, anything on tall shelves and the tops of the cars when they are being washed! LOL

12:49 am

ursh

12:51 am

jillibus

and how tall are you, doug?

12:51 am

stidmama

yep, that's the way it goes, especially for those of us who happily buy small houses and small furniture. He fits in two chairs in the living room, and tolerates the other furniture in the house.

12:53 am

Douglas

I'm 6'2''...13yos hasn't started growing in earnest yet

12:53 am

12:57 am

rururocks

I am big-boned... not a problem there

12:58 am

rururocks

plus most of my head is bone..

12:58 am

PAV3

hi ruru!

12:58 am

jillibus

12:58 am

rururocks

hello pavster

12:58 am

Douglas

I've beaten three blank tiles into submission with my morewords stick

12:58 am

stidmama

PAV3

1:04 am

jillibus

That sounds pretty good, pav -- paid leave?

1:04 am

PAV3

1:32 am

Douglas

Actually, I did go to the prom...I even had a date!

bookwomen

Time for bed for me. Enjoy the grid

2:15 am

jillibus

Well, time for my bed too, if nobody needs clues. Goodnight! *poof*

2:31 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody!

2:31 am

rubyfoo

started with jilli's pe8 - nice way to start

2:33 am

sandyloo

I am finding this one hard! I think I need wine

2:33 am

rubyfoo

hello sandy. I've just started but it seems like a nasty little grid, especially compared to yesterday's grand one!

2:34 am

sandyloo

Yesterday's was fun, but this.....I have 31 left

2:35 am

rubyfoo

when did you start?

2:35 am

sandyloo

a couple of hours ago, but have been off and on

2:37 am

sandyloo

I had a really good sleep last night and didn't even wake up til 9.30 - usually get up at 6.30- and I don't think I have recovered from that all day- I feel very lazy

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I wish! If I sleep past 8, my husband has a fit and starts slamming things around. He gets up at 6:30 but also goes to sleep at least 2 hrs before me!

2:39 am

sandyloo

Mine is away at the moment - but I have to feed the horses early - they were hanging over the fence

2:40 am

rubyfoo

that is lovely. Are the tame? And how many do you have?

2:40 am

rubyfoo

they* more coffee needed, poopy typing!

2:42 am

sandyloo

We have two here. One is an old boy who we showed for years - he is a schoolmaster- which means he does everything and the other is an inexperienced beautiful black thoroughbred who belongs to my daughter's friend - she is teaching him to jump

2:43 am

rubyfoo

are they friends?

2:43 am

sandyloo

We are looking to buy a horse for dressage, we are just waiting for the right one to come along (also one we can afford - they get very pricey

2:43 am

rubyfoo

it's funny how many of my friends own horses - and they're all over the world!

2:44 am

sandyloo

The horses share the paddocks with a sheep who thinks it is a horse

2:44 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute

2:44 am

sandyloo

Horses are a huge sport here -dressage, jumping , hacking, racing, polo, hunting etc.

2:45 am

sandyloo

and of course eventing

2:46 am

sandyloo

I have done a lot of riding over the years but now I like to stick to safe horses and quiet riding- the ground gets further away every year

2:46 am

rubyfoo

we're in a tiny village, but although there are a few wild animals (foxes, boar, chamois, snakes), we never see them, just dogs (2 here) and cats (all over the place.

2:47 am

sandyloo

Not many wild animals in Aus. Here we have a few kangaroos , bandicoots possums snakes and thats about all

2:48 am

rubyfoo

sounds pretty wild to me!

2:49 am

rubyfoo

there used to be deer and rabbits here, but the French ate everything, even the squirrels (I think), so you have to go into the mtns to see anything and I'm too old for that!

2:50 am

sandyloo

lol, it's very civilised actually, lots of nice restaurants and wineries , but i'm sure that France would be absolutely fantastic, I know the scenery from watching the Tour (as we mentioned before)

2:50 am

rubyfoo

yes, the scenery is beautiful, and right now is the prettiest time of all -- very long and flowery spring

2:50 am

rubyfoo

and the visitors start coming wednesday!

2:51 am

sandyloo

I have to go- my daughter wants to have a go at the grid (she is Niks4Jaf)

2:51 am

rubyfoo

see you later

2:51 am

sandyloo

BBl, I am going to France in the next couple of years and am looking forward to the food

2:52 am

rubyfoo

we'll talk about that! ((hugs))

3:16 am

sandrafrances

good morning all how many words today please

3:18 am

3:18 am

thanks i am halfway

3:42 am

sprite

morning all

4:02 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:03 am

sprite

hi

4:03 am

rubyfoo

we finally had rain and everything is green and flowering!

4:03 am

rubyfoo

how are you and your daughter feeling, sprite?

4:03 am

sprite

was it needed?

4:04 am

rubyfoo

yes, it was very dry; we were having to water every day

4:04 am

rubyfoo

but except for the hollyhocks and strawberries, everything is planted

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I'm waiting for an energy spurt to finish up

4:05 am

sprite

daughter is ok, and I am a bit better again. Dead tired though, but I really enjoy not having to cough all the time. Thanks for asking.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

coughing is exhausting!!!

4:06 am

sprite

no kidding. Done it for 3 months, and violently too.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

did it make you lose weight?

4:06 am

rubyfoo

are your ribs intact?

4:07 am

sprite

yup, lost some weight and thank gods, no rib broken this time. But very very sore. What is the word? Not broken but.....

4:08 am

rubyfoo

sprained? strained? cracked? definitely sore!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I've had broken ribs and tehre are few things more painful

4:09 am

sprite

sprained maybe. It is painful, but it will heal now the coughing isn't that bad anymore!

4:11 am

sprite

I once managed to break a rib with coughing, a couple of years ago. It was incredibly painful. Did not even know it was possible. But the ER doc said coughing makes for incredible forces and strains.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

that's awful!

4:13 am

sprite

the only thing that I ever felt that was as painful and kind of similar, is the pelvic injury I have from giving birth.

4:14 am

sprite

but now nothing is broken and soon things will be much better. I have a friend coming over to stay for a couple of nights, am so looking forward to it.

4:21 am

sprite

I'm still in the a ... but I have 17 words, odd ones that popped to mind.

6:17 am

Mudd

Yesterday's was sweet.

6:18 am

Jayk

VERY sweet. today's is payback

6:18 am

Jayk

Anyone else lurking about with those Ps?

6:19 am

Jayk

I guess I'll go read the Times and come back later

6:19 am

Mudd

good plan

6:25 am

rubyfoo

hi jayk

6:25 am

rubyfoo

pe8 is foot + not aunt

6:25 am

rubyfoo

hi mudd

6:26 am

rubyfoo

don't have any pu's

6:26 am

rubyfoo

and still not at half!

6:26 am

Mudd

Hi, Ruby

6:26 am

Mudd

I'm 1/3 now.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

yesterday's grid was so much fun, got 2/3

6:27 am

rubyfoo

I have 48 words, but this is very difficult

6:27 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all

6:27 am

rubyfoo

hah, half!

6:27 am

rubyfoo

hi TO

6:28 am

Mudd

Hi, Temp. I'm fighting for every word. Even the short ones give me grief.

6:29 am

Mudd

Do you have the di 5 yet please?

6:29 am

rubyfoo

only the pt of di4/5

6:29 am

72 Temple Owl

hi ruby, hi mudd. very awkward word placement

6:30 am

rubyfoo

very hard

6:30 am

72 Temple Owl

a car bomb was found in times square last night.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

no! that's awful

6:31 am

Mudd

Yes, I have the di 4 and can't build on that. Where else can a person go after that?

6:31 am

Mudd

found, but not detonated? Wow!

6:31 am

72 Temple Owl

can use past tense

6:31 am

Mudd

That is awfull.

6:32 am

72 Temple Owl

vehicle was smoking lightly. close call

6:32 am

72 Temple Owl

ts always a target

6:33 am

rubyfoo

they were afraid of that on New Year's!

6:33 am

Mudd

Oh duh, that is my major error so many times. I find a letter and work from that and never start at the other letter. Thanx

6:33 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, remember the abandoned car scare in december?

6:33 am

Mudd

I wasted a lot of time on that one.

6:33 am

72 Temple Owl

oh don't we all?

6:34 am

Mudd

I was gone New Year's and read nothing.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

yes, I'm glad I love in a remote place....I don't think I could handle any of that any more

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I live* (not love)

6:35 am

Merk

Good morning ... read the chog ... makes me wish that everyone played babble and was as peace loving as we are.

6:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i cannot imagine an 8 letter word in this grid

6:35 am

Merk

Well, you probably love in a remote place, too.

6:36 am

rubyfoo

latin for foot + not aunt, pe8

6:36 am

Merk

Well, I would not have gotten that 8 without an earlier lovely clue.

6:36 am

72 Temple Owl

hey merk!

6:36 am

rubyfoo

I wish, merk!

6:36 am

Merk

There it is again and I never thanked you earlier.

6:36 am

72 Temple Owl

ty, had not yet found that un

6:37 am

Merk

Eavesdropped on someone else's clue and ran with it.

6:37 am

rubyfoo

yw, merk, a pleasure to give a clue when I play so poorly....

6:37 am

rubyfoo

see you later, siesta time for me!

6:38 am

Merk

Enjoy!

6:38 am

72 Temple Owl

bye ruby

6:38 am

Merk

That c was worthless for a starting letter, but my clue is that the ce at the end of word has been sweet to me.

6:41 am

6:55 am

Trifioso

morning my dear friends. wow, usually I like to at least hit nbt before church, but it's looking doubtful with this tricky little grid!

6:56 am

72 Temple Owl

hello trif

6:56 am

Trifioso

hello to. your icon is HILARIOUS

6:57 am

Scrabbler

Good morning to all.

6:57 am

Trifioso

good morning doctor!

6:57 am

72 Temple Owl

ty trif, hi scrabs.

6:57 am

Anniebrook

Hi Trif, Owl, Scrabbs

6:58 am

Scrabbler

I slept poorly--black fly bites are intensely itchy!

6:59 am

Trifioso

oh, and a quick, ever-so-fun note to my FB friends---someone posted a link yesterday on my daughter's page that said something like "check out this video is the hottest thing ever!" so I clicked on it to see what on earth someone was sending THAT to my daughter for, and it turns out it is a big virus, and sent that same message to loads of folks that I am friends with, (including my pastor, OMG). if you get that message and it appears I sent it - I DID NOT!

6:59 am

Scrabbler

Darn little critters are out early this year, probably due to extra warm spring.

6:59 am

Trifioso

all the rain too, scrabbler - LOTS of breeding puddles and vernal pools....

6:59 am

72 Temple Owl

i hiked yesterday and spent so uch time brushing away flies and inchworms there was no way i could surprise any critter

7:00 am

Scrabbler

Sadly FB is loaded with viruses.

7:00 am

Trifioso

lesson learned, scrabbler, lesson learned...I am scarlet!

7:00 am

Scrabbler

I just noticed the Qu tile.

7:00 am

redturtlehead

Oh my good morning, news of a bomb in NYC...times square.

7:01 am

Scrabbler

What?!! When, red?

7:01 am

72 Temple Owl

yes red. they were very lucky. but then again they are very vigilant, too.

7:01 am

redturtlehead

well, it was a teaser on the news, but it must have happened either last night or this morning, turn on the today show.

7:01 am

Trifioso

oh no!!!

7:02 am

72 Temple Owl

last night. around 6:30

7:02 am

Trifioso

okay - it's didn't go off. police found a bomb-laden van in Times Square, and disarmed it.

7:02 am

Scrabbler

It didn't even make my newspaper.

7:02 am

redturtlehead

Oh, yes, it was dismantled.

7:02 am

Trifioso

a vietnam vet working as a street vendor saw the van, thought it looked suspicious, and called the police

7:03 am

Scrabbler

Close call, apparently one of many since 9/11.

7:03 am

redturtlehead

I guess smoke trailing in large amounts from a car.

7:03 am

Anniebrook

thank god, they found it. times square is very crowded at that time of day. God bless that vet.

7:03 am

jOCa

STAY IN YOUR HOMES. Just keep paying taxes and be scared.

7:04 am

redturtlehead

Good morning Annie.

7:04 am

Trifioso

indeed. three propane cyclinders, gunpowder, propane tanks, the whole nine yards

7:04 am

Scrabbler

People must be very vigilant now and not hesitate to call the authorities.

7:04 am

Anniebrook

hi red, are you having peet's coffee today?

7:04 am

redturtlehead

I am, my one sale sumatra. Its a bit strong.

7:05 am

Anniebrook

I find Peets strong overall.

7:05 am

Trifioso

okay, this is slightly funny....the terrorist expert they have called in to discuss the bomb situation in Times Square is named "Dick Clark"

7:05 am

redturtlehead

the morning blend not so much, but this sumatra is a bit smoky!

7:05 am

Scrabbler

I switched to tea about 6 wks ago.

7:05 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my that IS funny!

7:05 am

Trifioso

that would be one "rockin New Year's Eve" indeed!

7:06 am

72 Temple Owl

jeez

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Cant get Dick Clark out of Times Square

7:06 am

Trifioso

LOL annie!

7:06 am

redturtlehead

Oh trif, that is funny, the situation is not, but....I imagine he has some issues when he shows up.

7:06 am

72 Temple Owl

is that your local news trif?

7:07 am

Trifioso

oh, this is cool too- because there were so many tourists there, they are asking any people that were in that area and taking any sort of video yesterday to check it, in case they got a shot of the bomber leaving the van....

7:07 am

Trifioso

no, 72TO, national news

7:08 am

72 Temple Owl

ok. i'ts offcial, i canNOT watch five staions at once and babble

7:08 am

Trifioso

LOL, no, I would think not!

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Sure you can, you will just be very slow at finding words and chatting.

7:09 am

72 Temple Owl

i neeed picture in picture technology...why doesn't fios give me that?

7:09 am

redturtlehead

You might even provide for us some of those extremely clear clues!

7:09 am

Scrabbler

The TV has that technology, if you bought a TV with those features.

7:10 am

72 Temple Owl

i know but verizon promised me everything else!

7:11 am

Scrabbler

This is a tough little grid, isn't it. After 28 words I am already at the staring, non-typing stage.

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

ok it's officak, i have give up on the movie I was watching, too early for that anyway and takes actual concentration. scrbas, chat and go back, they pop out at you suddenly

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

very twisty and in unexpected directions

7:12 am

redturtlehead

I'm at 26.

7:12 am

Trifioso

does anyone have a gentle clue for the lone i on the bottom row?

7:13 am

redturtlehead

ok 28

7:13 am

redturtlehead

well, trif it is a babblet, an in4,4

7:13 am

Scrabbler

Babblet in4

7:14 am

Trifioso

thanks red - that did it! hate to go to church without nbt, but time is against me, and I might have no choice. grump.

7:14 am

Anniebrook

ro** of sharon

7:14 am

72 Temple Owl

don't waste time with the arco and orca babblets. they are phantoms.

7:14 am

Trifioso

LOL, that was a very good clue, annie!

7:15 am

Anniebrook

trif, it followed the in but you saw it right away

7:15 am

Trifioso

thanks TO. no hairy dolphin today either, or that cursed duck I ALWAYS miss

7:15 am

Anniebrook

and the volcano

7:15 am

72 Temple Owl

but all those letters are there. maddening!

7:17 am

redturtlehead

i always miss the darned volcano.

7:17 am

Scrabbler

I always miss: asea, feta...

7:17 am

Anniebrook

asea and ocean get me all the time

7:17 am

72 Temple Owl

hmm, up so early i should have hiked but it is a bad hair day. and i used to be the outdoor type

7:18 am

Trifioso

that is so funny, scrabbler, I always miss asea too, which I feel is unforgivable since I live so close

7:18 am

Scrabbler

It just doesn't look like a word and I never say it--see it here and in crosswords

7:18 am

redturtlehead

Well, TO, if you didnt want to hike, I say you should not have!

7:19 am

72 Temple Owl

"nadir" is not here though all its letters are :(

7:19 am

Scrabbler

I think this computer (my dekstop) is slowly dying). Although this browser, Babble Expert, is working, my other is not "awake" yet.

7:19 am

72 Temple Owl

iwant to go but i don't want frizzy hair. that seems inevitable today though

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Wear a hat.

7:20 am

redturtlehead

the humidity seems to be up all over, you could put on a sporty hat.

7:20 am

Trifioso

temple owl, have you tried john frieda's frizzease? it really does work well

7:20 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbs, GMTA!

7:20 am

Trifioso

I can also recommend braids

7:20 am

Scrabbler

What is GMTA?

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

my hair is a humidity magnet. even a foil hat won't work! ;)

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

trif it strips color.

7:21 am

redturtlehead

"Great minds think alike!"

7:21 am

Trifioso

really? I haven't found that. my hairdresser gave me some stuff named Moroccan oil, that also seems to work well

7:21 am

Scrabbler

Aha. I often wear a baseball cap on my fun days, when I don't care if my hair gets smooshed.

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

ok, sun is peeking out! time to throw in the wash and hope for the best. trif you are light haired, probably not a problem

7:22 am

redturtlehead

I have to admit, I pretty much put the hair in a pony tail and dont worry about it. but I probably look a fright at times...

7:22 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the walk, laugh about the frizzed hair, come home and wet it down.

7:22 am

Trifioso

not light haired, to - red. I changed my icon, so you can see me if you refresh

7:22 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't have enough for a tail :(

7:23 am

redturtlehead

trif, that is actually fairly light hair.

7:23 am

Scrabbler

Great word for us, I just found it--fr6!!

7:23 am

Trifioso

thanks to. it is a bit darker now, due it's um....chemical origins....

7:23 am

Anniebrook

clue, please

7:23 am

72 Temple Owl

oh fr6s, time to go, happy babbling!

7:24 am

Trifioso

annie - what I usually say when I sign on "hello babble fr6"

7:24 am

Scrabbler

You are my fr6, Trif is my fr6, Owl is my fr6, Red is my fr6

7:24 am

Anniebrook

Oh I had it. Yes, a good word.

7:24 am

Trifioso

******big kiss*****

7:24 am

Scrabbler

A twisty word so I am proud to have found it

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

will save remaining 34 for later

7:24 am

redturtlehead

Yaaaay Scrabbler.

7:24 am

Scrabbler

Bye Trif + Owl

7:25 am

Anniebrook

Bye Owl

7:25 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my trapezii muscles are so sore from mountain biking yesterday.

7:25 am

Anniebrook

and bye to Trif

7:25 am

Trifioso

okay -- need a babble nation vote, please - primo had the SATs yesterday, and had to get up at o'dawn thirty. But Adult Sunday School is starting a new series today, on social justice issues. Wake him up and tote him along, or let him sleep in?

7:25 am

Scrabbler

I am thinking of buying myself a new bike.

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

o scrabs i actually saw a doe very close up and personal on my hike. not as close as when one ran into my car, but the circumstances were a lot better

7:26 am

Scrabbler

Tote him along. Life is tough and full of commitments.

7:26 am

Scrabbler

So neat, Owl! I love seeing them around here.

7:26 am

redturtlehead

Well, he has now had a lot of time to sleep trif, its not as if he had to stay up late last night.

7:26 am

Trifioso

will do! thanks all, and have a lovely day.

7:27 am

72 Temple Owl

we just stared at each other for a few minutes then she bolted

7:27 am

Anniebrook

bye trif and tote Primo along

7:27 am

redturtlehead

awesome owl!

7:27 am

Scrabbler

The deer tend to bolt when I start talking to them. Haha

7:28 am

72 Temple Owl

lovely wooded park i never visited till yesterday. you could nver believe where you were

7:28 am

Trifioso

alas, the sprog cannot be stirred from the lair today....off I go....alone.

7:28 am

72 Temple Owl

no doubt, scrabbler. she-who-talks-with-deer LOL

7:28 am

Trifioso

and with SEVEN tiles still blank! This is my worst "before church" babble count EVER

7:30 am

hurshy

babble doesn't know about ditching someone on facebook...

7:30 am

72 Temple Owl

7:31 am

redturtlehead

Good Morning Hurshy.

7:31 am

Anniebrook

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy!

7:32 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL i used to stress about it mightily, silly , huh

7:32 am

72 Temple Owl

*poof*

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Dr God can ditch people here.

7:32 am

hurshy

yes, but that might not use the same term.

7:33 am

Scrabbler

So what do you mean?

7:33 am

hurshy

unfr6

7:33 am

redturtlehead

scrabbler she is trying to put a de or a UN in front of the word you found earlier.

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I get it now.

7:34 am

hurshy

i feel so lost without a nice S to pluralize things...

7:34 am

Scrabbler

I blocked some former co-workers on FB.

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Or -ed and -er. Yesterday's grid kept us busy.

7:35 am

hurshy

we can -ed a few things today

7:35 am

hurshy

and -er perhaps too, i haven't got to the bottom yet

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I have

7:36 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! actor dennis of "the natural" and the remake of "the parent trap"

7:36 am

hurshy

wait, was it the natural or the rookie? i can't remember the names of all the stupid baseball movies i don't watch...

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Quaid

7:37 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Not The Natural--that was Redford, and filmed here in Bflo.

7:37 am

hurshy

then it must be the rookie

7:38 am

Anniebrook

I am leaving 31 for later, bye dear babblers

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Bye Annie. Say hi to Bobby.

7:53 am

hurshy

so what's up with that upper E?

7:53 am

Scrabbler

I have stared at it too

7:55 am

hurshy

i have the prettiest, most softest, most nicest mitty kitty in the whole wide world on my lap

7:55 am

flosey

en6/21

7:55 am

hurshy

flosey to the rescue!

7:55 am

Scrabbler

How nice!! I have a cute bunny behind me, stretched out on her belly, with her head down.

7:56 am

hurshy

eureka

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Are the last 4 ltrs a stand alone word?

7:56 am

flosey

and fireworks! hate to say it, but I didn't enjoy this grid, too many silly words - yesterday's 300 words was most enjoyable.

7:56 am

hurshy

no

7:56 am

flosey

no scrabbs

7:56 am

hurshy

i'm not enjoying it so far

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Yippee Flosey!

7:57 am

hurshy

can you tell us what the long ones start with flosey?

7:57 am

Scrabbler

I agree--mostly staring. Yesterday I typed like crazy and that is fun.

7:58 am

flosey

Aha, TY. During labor some women undergo a pu*****l nerve block. Ouch.

8:03 am

8:03 am

Merk

I'm dense; I don't get it yet.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Flosey's clue is a good one

8:03 am

hurshy

flosey has an ag**** for the meeting - old business, new business...

8:03 am

flosey

Merk, I could have added I have an ag**** for tomorrow's meeting

8:04 am

Merk

What's the ag****

thanks sally.. I didn't know that word.

10:30 am

Shirlockc

me neither, what a word

10:30 am

Sally-catlover

well it's the Latin plural really

10:30 am

rururocks

so if you are ready to make love.. would you say I have an agenda with the pu7?

10:31 am

Sally-catlover

rofl ruru. I wouldn't try that as a chat-up line if I were you.

10:31 am

Riverdance

try it out and let us know how it works ruru

10:31 am

phaeton

done...any clues needed or does Sally have it covered?

10:31 am

10:32 am

Sally-catlover

phaeton

the pu7 is a medical term

10:33 am

rururocks

I think I need the first un 6/24 too please

10:33 am

10:37 am

rubyfoo

My husband bought strawberry plants by mistake (I asked for raspberries!). Do they need a lot of sun? Good soil? Anything special?

10:37 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, very well done to Mom then!

10:37 am

Riverdance

I have to go - will save my lucky 13 left for later - bye all

Riverdance

thanks Sally - happy babbling all

10:37 am

rubyfoo

bye mom!

10:37 am

1:19 pm

Scrabbler

So I am all alone here? *waving to lurkers*

1:20 pm

Judi

*waving back* Just got here, Scrabbs.

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Judi!

1:20 pm

Mary

Im still here concentrating on finishing with 20 left.

1:21 pm

Scrabbler

Go Mary go!

1:21 pm

Judi

Just had to dispatch the Qu's.

1:21 pm

Scrabbler

I am using the list and still stuck on many.

1:22 pm

Judi

Hubby just called from his bike race. They're done, but he has to take his friend to the hospital. Apparently said friend crashed during the race and broke his shoulder. The poor guy only has one arm to begin with.

1:23 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no! Awful! Ouch, ouch! He is brave to race with 1 arm.

1:24 pm

Judi

Yes. He has a prosthetic arm. He broke the shoulder of his good arm though. His wife is probably going to dope slap him.

1:25 pm

Scrabbler

Is this a road race or mtn biking?

1:25 pm

Judi

Mountain bike. My husband introduced him to it a few years ago. They're good buds.

1:25 pm

crosshair

yes scrabbs,had the study,though how they can get an accurate read with me only in a light doze cause im wired for sound is beyond me.they say they got a good test and my family dr will have results in 2 weeks

1:26 pm

crosshair

i do know i snored the wife right out of the bed last night

1:26 pm

Scrabbler

I LOVE mtn biking --been doing it since before it became popular. I live next to a park with several miles of trails. I stay in the double tracks--single tracks are too scary.

1:27 pm

Scrabbler

In fact, I was researching new mtn bikes last night.

1:27 pm

Scrabbler

Well, Crossy, I suspect you will get set up for CPAP soon and realize how nice it is to sleep soundly all night and be well-rested.

1:28 pm

Judi

My hubby's totally into it. This was his first race with the "new" bike he built himself.

1:28 pm

crosshair

it is rough,i get about 3 hours a night

1:28 pm

Judi

Poor Crossy! You have sleep apnea?

1:29 pm

Scrabbler

It is dangerous for you, Crossy--increased risk of stroke + heart disease. Good for you for having the test!

1:29 pm

Scrabbler

Judi, how old is your husband?

1:29 pm

crosshair

scrabbs,im going to be picking up a ocean kayak this summer to help with my weight loss;))))))

1:29 pm

crosshair

nasty apnea judi,im too fat

1:29 pm

crosshair

i have 250 pounds on a frame that should be holding 190

1:30 pm

Scrabbler

You will love it, Crossy! Such relaxation and exercise.

1:30 pm

Judi

He is 51, Scrabbs.

1:30 pm

Judi

Do you have to have your tonsils and adenoids removed, Crossy?

1:30 pm

crosshair

a friend reccomended i look at a 17 footer

1:31 pm

crosshair

tonsils yes,adnoids not sure

1:31 pm

Scrabbler

And I shall be 51 in Sept. I saw some mtn bikes that cost $6000! I just want a basic, fromt-suspension $350-400 bike--good enough for me.

1:31 pm

crosshair

just hope it can hold my bulk

1:32 pm

Scrabbler

The long kayaks are streamlined and go faster, but the challenge is getting it on + off your car and getting it into/out of water.

1:32 pm

Judi

One of the cops I work with had it really bad. He had his tonsils, adenoids and uvula removed! He also had gastric bypass surgery. He lost 65 lbs in two weeks!

1:32 pm

crosshair

4:24 pm

we had a chilly winter, but its 91 now. which is alright but I wish it would cool a little at night.

4:24 pm

Riverdance

4:27 pm

Riverdance

since there do not seem to be any babbler meets in the northeast - will have to save money for babbler meet in the south

4:27 pm

redturtlehead

We could do a nice meet up at downtown disney which is free, and has a great Lego store.

4:27 pm

PAV3

O heard about something in DC..is taht too far for you?

4:27 pm

Riverdance

without kids - gets old - universal is cool and seaworld is very nice

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

but I am not planning ANYTHING! Nothing!!! I am lazy!

4:28 pm

Riverdance

there is a meet in Baltimore coming up - no money or time left this year

4:28 pm

Riverdance

4:29 pm

PAV3

...and I'm home stuck with dogs...no sitter that I could trust...I'd have to plan a trip with them...

4:29 pm

Riverdance

So wish I could be lazy but this is spring and starting tomorrow will be running 2 kids to baseball/softball/track etc

4:29 pm

redturtlehead

Mom there are many many Babblers in the Boston Area, which is not too far from NH, I think if you planned it some might come.

4:30 pm

redturtlehead

Pav, I dont think your dogs would like my dog.

4:30 pm

Riverdance

4:30 pm

PAV3

Joey might...Precious, not so much...

4:31 pm

Riverdance

I will have to pay attention to profiles more. Boston is about an hour and a half away - definately doable if the time is right with no games.

4:31 pm

redturtlehead

he spent an hour last nnight dumping his head in a water bucket and blowing bubbles. I dont get it myself.

4:32 pm

PAV3

Precious purebred Lhasa Apso, and Joey is a Lhasa mix...Precious is the quintessential Lhasa; Joey is a people person /dog...think Joey Tribiani from Fr6s

4:32 pm

Riverdance

your dog did that - I thought you were talking about a kid this morning - lol

4:32 pm

redturtlehead

Pam, wht, and also trif, AKnitter, and Car.eeyore all live within your area.

Riverdance

everytime I looked outside today, my young lab was laying in the kiddie pool - too funny

4:32 pm

redturtlehead

yes, my dog....no children for me!

4:33 pm

Riverdance

i think Trif and maybe car are sisters

4:34 pm

redturtlehead

they are related the three of them knitter, car and eeyore.

4:35 pm

ahh back from our nice drive up on the mountain.took the mrs to all the secret places i know,nice thick forests areas where the deer moss grows nice and dense ,you can sometimes see mamma deer and her fawn if you are lucky,then off to where there is this jumble of boulders from a old rock fall right near the road and there is this tiny waterfall that streams down the ferns that grow out of it and the water pools into this natural little basin before trickling off back into the trees,then took her to this massive part of the forest where the evergreens and the pines grow right up to the road in a solid mass so thick that it block view of all its secrets,but you can smell the ever green and pine and leaves and the water,you can literally smell the colour green...like i say nothing finer than resetting your zen

what's up, stid?

8:15 pm

Pinikula

how was the play?

8:15 pm

dcseain

great photo, stid

8:17 pm

stidmama

I think, it's that I don't really WANT to have the meeting for the particular quarter-long project that I am working on with two lovely but very young people who really haven't got a clue about how to pull anything together and don't want to follow my lead on anything either. We are halfway through the quarter and after spending 5 weeks doing it their way we are really not much further along than the day the assignment was made. With four weeks to go. And I feel responsible for helping pull it together when the "teamwork" piece isn't going to work with this particular personality mix.

8:17 pm

stidmama

thanks seain.

8:17 pm

stidmama

the play was great, pini

8:18 pm

Pinikula

sorry to hear about the "team", stid...but, I have faith in you that, as a leader, they'll come around and all will be well...

8:18 pm

stidmama

So... the group project is going to flop, and I will be partly responsible because quite honestly I don't have the energy to go head to head with the one who has a personality as strong as mine and the other one rarely cares to come up with an actual idea.

8:18 pm

Pinikula

congrats to S#2 ;)

8:19 pm

stidmama

I don't want to be the leader, seain. The fact is, I AM old enough to be their mother, and they respond to my suggestions the way any young 20-something responds to a mother.

8:19 pm

dcseain

how trying, stid

8:19 pm

stidmama

oops. sorry, that was pini who told me to be leader. *sigh* see how frazzled I am!

8:19 pm

dcseain

yeah, i ran into that in a my Arabic class a bit, too

8:19 pm

Pinikula

*sigh*...kids these days

8:19 pm

Pinikula

no worries, stid...understandable

8:20 pm

stidmama

may I give an example?

8:20 pm

dcseain

i get huge benes schooling at this age, and they throw away a great opportunity :)

8:20 pm

Pinikula

sure

8:20 pm

dcseain

please do

8:21 pm

Pinikula

(how many, dc?)

8:22 pm

stidmama

In trying to make the "big idea" (consumerism and the destruction of the environment) meaningful to the imaginary students we need to write lessons for, I mentioned something that is a BIG DEAL where I come from, and in the community I am "student" teaching in. The strong personality classmate said that we can't pick something that isn't relevant to the lives of the students in the imaginary classroom. So I said, "So let's pick a school and look for things that would help the kids see the connections." (several times I said this). She completely ignored, then looked uncomfortable, then said she didn't think we needed to????

8:22 pm

stidmama

Now, this is for an IMAGINARY classroom. No actual students are going to be traumatized by any of the 10 lesson plans we are supposed to come up with!!!!

8:23 pm

Pinikula

So much for "opening" one's mind to possibilities...

8:23 pm

stidmama

What do you think about me just going ahead and writing the three lesson plans that will fit the big idea as *I* would potentially use them... the community I will teach in will be the one where this is an issue.

8:24 pm

Pinikula

...I'm guessing she'll have a hard time finding employment as a teacher (and that's if she actually earns a degree)

8:24 pm

Pinikula

I think you should, stid...that would be my suggestion...

8:24 pm

stidmama

This classmate shoots down or finds fault with everything I do. It is getting to be comical.

Of course, we didn't choose our groups -- I would not have chosen to work with her.

8:25 pm

stidmama

The truth is... she might be an excellent teacher, but... I am glad I will never be in a school where she will teach.

8:26 pm

Pinikula

Personally, I'd cover my own butt and do a plan that answers the challenge especially since the team members don't appear to be willing to work together

8:26 pm

Pinikula

I wouldn't want to be a student in her class, stid...

8:26 pm

Pinikula

...I don't do well in learning environments where there is no room for the teacher learn as much from the students during their time together.

8:27 pm

stidmama

Anyway, enough of that. Pini, if you were a 5th grader studying the effects of outside investors on local economies (you know, the industries that use local resources but spoil the land/water/air for the residents), would you want to explore the ways that your own community is affected?

8:28 pm

stidmama

I would do that pini, but I believe the biggest part of this assignment is seeing if we can work as colleagues.

8:28 pm

Pinikula

I would learn the lesson better if I could "relate" to it!

8:28 pm

stidmama

*banging head on keyboard*

8:28 pm

stidmama

okay, then I am writing my three lessons for the kids in the rural community I come from and will teach in. *determined mama look*

8:29 pm

Pinikula

* cheers stid on *

8:29 pm

stidmama

but first I will get down to 25...

8:29 pm

Pinikula

;)

8:30 pm

lbdawger

Stid, if this problem group member was a student in your class, how would you deal with her, in getting her to work and play well with others?

8:30 pm

Pinikula

(and I'm open-minded enough to say I'm wrong if someone can come up with a different argument) =]

8:30 pm

stidmama

hey LBD.

8:30 pm

Pinikula

now...down to the grid...

8:30 pm

stidmama

*thinking about LBD's question*

8:30 pm

Pinikula

* excellent question *

8:30 pm

Pinikula

(wish I'd thought of it)

8:30 pm

lbdawger

and yes, I would go ahead and write up my own lesson plans to fulfill my class requirements. I'd also add a note to the instructor explaining the dynamics of the group, and why you are doing your assignment alone

8:31 pm

stidmama

I honestly don't know LBD. I would perhaps give her the direction that if she cannot come up with a specific alternative that she needs to let the other team members try their own ideas.

8:31 pm

stidmama

I would not allow her to torpedo the other team members' thoughts. And I would have stepped in sooner than I am actually doing...

8:32 pm

stidmama

I don't have the option to fly solo on this, but I can talk to my instructor (who knows our group is behind).

8:34 pm

lbdawger

I would try and apply some of your problem solving techniques to this young person, explaining that her unwillingness to work as a group is becoming tiring and unproductive.

8:34 pm

Pinikula

just curious...who does the other team member lean more toward?

8:34 pm

Pinikula

(not that it makes much difference)

8:35 pm

lbdawger

i'm just guessing but if the instructor is aware of the group dynamics s/he may be observing how each one of you works out the problem. Looking for a solid leader isn't always the direct answer.

8:35 pm

stidmama

I haven't been able to figure out, pini. Privileged middle-class background, parents both professional teachers (so thinks she knows it all), did peace corps for a little while "teaching" English, but not long out of her bachelor's for sure.

8:36 pm

stidmama

I am thinking confrontation IS the next step, since gentle persuasion isn't working!

8:36 pm

Nef

Good Evening All. I was just reading the chog; and I agree with LBD; but I'd also let the other team member know that being wishy washy doesn't help!

8:36 pm

stidmama

hey Nef!

8:37 pm

Nef

Hi Stid! (((stid))) I'm SO glad that I'm not in your shoes!

8:38 pm

stidmama

yes Nef, it is pretty clear that assertiveness is needed for the third member. In contrast, I get along well with several other classmates who have strong personalities, who call me on my sh** and yet also let me know that they support my attempts... and I reciprocate for them

8:38 pm

lbdawger

hi Nef

8:39 pm

stidmama

So it's not a "strong personalities clashing" thing, but an unwillingness to give AND take. She just wants to give and give...

8:39 pm

Nef

hi LBD! I liked your advice to stid (I was raised by a teacher who was County Supt. of Schools and had a Masters' degree in remedial English

8:39 pm

lbdawger

scenario: You to MissyPooh...It appears that you have all the answers, what are your suggestions to fulfill this requirement? Since you don't like the ideas I've offered, I'm waiting for some constructive ideas from you, so we can move on with the assignment.

8:40 pm

Nef

(and that was back in the "old" days too!)

8:40 pm

stidmama

rofl... yep.

8:41 pm

lbdawger

I don't think it's necessarally strong personalities, I think little miss is used to getting her way.

8:41 pm

stidmama

okay, down to 42 and completely stalled out.

8:41 pm

stidmama

listing early

8:42 pm

Nef

Don't you wonder if sometimes the teachers put dissimilar students together to see if they CAN get through it?

8:42 pm

Pinikula

un6? (either)

8:42 pm

stidmama

Yes, and I knew this would happen -- a smaller project last quarter also threw us together, and was almost as much fun as this one.

8:42 pm

lbdawger

yes, i would do that to especially meek students, who otherwise would be mowed over by the more assertive ones.

8:43 pm

Nef

un 6/30= when the sink won't drain you need to un 6 it

Sesquipedalianism appears in Horace's Ars Poetica, meaning "words a foot-and-a-half long," as an ironic criticism.

I'm going to le4/5 a hand with a story of clues for my dear Babble fr6/30s.After having a fe4/9 with hubby he went out to go play a go4/9 game & I sat down to Babble. He go 6/36 for a long time so it was peaceful babbling.I saw the small grid and prayed to the lo4/5 that I'd finish,but I was a du5/16 today babbling. My brain was all cl 4/7ed up today because I could not fi 4/8 some of the easiest words. Had to use the ai4/5 of my monkeys. I had to fl 4/9 some of them because their behavior was so un 6/24 today.I babbled today drinking coca-co 4/5 since the weather wasn't so co 4/5. It was much co 6/21 last weekend. I wanted to babble in the nu4/5.But then the neighbors would be og5/14 and probably og4/6 at me. When I finally got fireworks I did a happy da 5/14 on the fl 5/16.I gave monkeys bananas for their ro4/4 in helping me out. I hope everybody has a fi 4/7 evening. Goodbye to all!

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

When we type madly guessing for words that may be in the grid, we call that "monkeying" the word fuzzy.

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

*checks the pb larder for a fresh monkey for fuzzy*

9:14 pm

fuzzybunny

9:15 pm

Minveryork

Fuzzybunny, you're asking all of the questions that I asked as a new babbler. Congrats on going pro right away.I waited about a year before I upgraded to pro

fuzzybunny

Had to upgrade quickly because I was having so much fun playing and I really wanted to be a part of this.

9:17 pm

Minveryork

I'm a shy person,but I entered the chog immediately.

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

the nice thing is that you can be more silly in the chog with less embarrassment

9:18 pm

fuzzybunny

I appreciate how friendly everyone is and I really appreciate all of the explanations. A lot of things I have been able to figure out on my own, but some still mystify me.

9:18 pm

Minveryork

9:18 pm

fuzzybunny

9:33 pm

Trifioso

hello jmc. I thought of you in church this morning....the adult sunday school is doing a five or 6 week study on the christian/methodist relationship to social justice, and I am sure you would have been a hugely informative person to have there

9:33 pm

Pinikula

Fuzzy I welcome you in my house to do my homework

I monkeyed that one for a long time and I did not get it, thanks.

10:08 pm

Pinikula

10:09 pm

fuzzybunny

I only specialize in math. I love math and my son hates it and will not put any effort into it. He has hit the pre-algebra stage along with the "when will I ever use this" whine.

10:09 pm

Pinikula

I remember that "whine"

10:09 pm

fuzzybunny

nbt!

10:09 pm

Pinikula

well done, fuzzy

10:10 pm

herinfernallady

I failed basic maths

10:11 pm

fuzzybunny

Yes, I tell him that since he does not know what he will be doing in 10 years, he needs to be prepared. As well as the fact that math teaches you how to think in a very logical way, a skill that is useful no matter what you do.

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

My parents taught me basic Math and English. i just don't get logic

10:12 pm

Pinikula

I should've said, "I remember that "whine"...and am glad I pushed through it. It helps me manage $1.5M a year."

10:13 pm

Pinikula

(too bad the $1.5M isn't in my own bank account)

10:13 pm

Hi Jellen.

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

I don't know my times tables

10:14 pm

Pinikula

me either...but I figured out a way to get around that flaw...

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

I add up in a very known logical way

10:14 pm

fuzzybunny

everyone can learn math, you just have to have a need to know it.

10:15 pm

Jellen

Be the grid friend or foe?

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

Irritating

10:15 pm

Pinikula

it can be done, jellen ;)

10:15 pm

fuzzybunny

I say foe, I have had 11 left for about 20 mins

10:15 pm

herinfernallady

I changed schools before school one taught time tables and the new one had already taught it

10:15 pm

Pinikula

what do you need, fuzzy?

10:16 pm

I'm surprised they didn't bring you up to speed, herin
