rururocks

Norton or MacAfee are the best and eastiest to set up for anti virus and have good firewalls too.

2:39 am

sandyloo

my kids have apples and no virusses either

2:40 am

rururocks

macafee uses too much of the computer and slows it down

2:40 am

Aloyisius

2:40 am

FMitch

3:28 am

Dachef

3:29 am

Andree

the internet never ceases to amaze me, you can move to another country and keep playing with the same people

3:30 am

Dachef

I keep telling people: the world is not a big place anymore. Segregation seems to be ingrained into us for generations, but there is no need for it to exist anymore.

FMitch

Hi Nono!

6:08 am

6:08 am

NonoNanette

hi FM!

6:09 am

6:09 am

NonoNanette

wb sprite

6:09 am

6:09 am

sandyloo

hi guys i have had my dinner

6:09 am

sprite

was it good, sandy?

6:09 am

FMitch

We are all still kicking around in babbleLand but given the time zones we don't always bump into those babblers we would love to see more often.

6:10 am

NonoNanette

hi Sandy

6:10 am

NonoNanette

true FM

6:10 am

sandyloo

it was good and hi sprite and nan

6:10 am

sprite

I am the flying Dutchman... woman. Irregular intervals of appearing online ;)

6:11 am

Atalante

yesterday's was foul

6:11 am

sprite

I liked yesterday's, but it had a nasty brick wall around halfway.

6:11 am

FMitch

todays is better and who knows what tomorrows will be like :)

6:11 am

NonoNanette

Ata I didn't mind yesterdays grid there were a lot of words that led to others

6:12 am

sprite

tomorrow's could easily be 600+

6:12 am

sandyloo

today I am finding there are words that are not in the dictionary

6:12 am

NonoNanette

now that would be a record!

6:12 am

FMitch

I do prefer the smaller girds - I find the big ones just too much.

6:13 am

sandyloo

Sprite, I couldn't finish the 500 because the site wouldnt take my t s , I was not happy

6:13 am

Atalante

I love the really tricksy little grids

6:13 am

sprite

then again, it could easily be 20- words too

6:13 am

sprite

aw sandy, that sounds frustrating

6:13 am

sandyloo

20 sounds good

6:13 am

lynxxx

300 is nice for me

6:14 am

FMitch

don't thin we have ever had a 20 word grid. Was the smallest about 32?

6:14 am

sprite

so do I, Ata. Those real puzzlers.

6:14 am

Atalante

32 or 35 ish

6:14 am

sprite

I seem to remember some grids between 20 and 30

6:14 am

NonoNanette

yes the little ones are usually quite meaty

6:14 am

FMitch

ah well you have been a babbler a bit longer than me spritey.

6:14 am

NonoNanette

according to lickety the smallest ever was 30

6:15 am

sprite

perhaps before Lickety, and otherwise I am mistaken

6:15 am

lynxxx

I think Licketys records only go back 4 years

6:16 am

FMitch

and have jsut checked out my details - I will have been babbling for 5 years this August *faints*

6:16 am

sandyloo

Does anybody here watch Doc Martin?

6:16 am

NonoNanette

yes about that lynxx. How long has Babble been around?

6:16 am

sprite

and babble was our game long before all the lists and help sites... long before prodom existed.

6:16 am

sprite

aren't those shoes, sandy?

6:17 am

sandyloo

haha , its a charming tv show , Sprite

6:18 am

lynxxx

Marigold started 2004 so at least then

6:18 am

FMitch

30 Sept 2003 is the first day of Babble.

6:18 am

sandyloo

Sprite, how did you come across babble - I got the site from one of my Tangleword friends

6:18 am

sprite

ah i see, Doc Martens are shoes

6:18 am

sandyloo

Mitch in fact everyone, how did you find out about Babble?

6:19 am

sandyloo

I remember when I started and how everyone was so helpful

6:19 am

Atalante

I found out about Babble through friends who found in mentioned on RObin Hobb's website waaay back when

6:19 am

sprite

friends of mine told me about it and said I would probably love the game, but wouldn't feel ok about the chat. The chat could be rather curt and even unfriendly sometimes, they said. I loved both the game and the chat.

6:19 am

FMitch

A lot of us UK players joined as a result of a small article in a weekly paper 5 years ago.

6:19 am

NonoNanette

I had found Iron Sudoku first and followed the link from there about 3 years ago Sandy

6:20 am

lynxxx

My daughter found it somehow and showed it to me, played every day since

6:20 am

sandyloo

I played here more once tangleword went kaput, I always like the chat

6:21 am

FMitch

I remember when Dr_G was beta testing this new morat and a lot of us hated it as it was so different to the layout we had got used to.

6:21 am

sandyloo

I am amazed it was in the papers

6:21 am

Atalante

morat *giggles*

6:21 am

FMitch

*format not morat *

6:22 am

Atalante

lunch time! bbs!

6:22 am

NonoNanette

later Ata

6:22 am

FMitch

TTFN then Ata.

6:22 am

lynxxx

I remember that too FM. What on earth were we concerned about

6:22 am

sprite

in the early days it was played by people who really went for the puzzle. Chat was often no more than about 10 entries a day.
The helpful attitude slowly grew and with the new layout and then prodom things became big.

6:23 am

lynxxx

bye Ata

6:23 am

sprite

bye Ata *hugs* No overdoing the walking yet, ok?

6:23 am

FMitch

and BrandyJAck was the only one that gave us a list .... *ahh those where the days* :)

6:23 am

lynxxx

dear BJ

6:24 am

sprite

not the only one, FM. Before BJ many people made lists, after finishing themselves or with the help of some tricks and solvers. I know I often did. Even had a page on my website just for that purpose.

6:25 am

FMitch

gosh, that was before my time then.

6:25 am

sprite

there are two things I still don't really like about the lay-out. The cursor, that should jump back to the Add Word box after chatting, in stead of staying in the chatterbox.
And the tile stats. I really liked the first letter stats, not knowing from which tile words could come.

6:25 am

lynxxx

when did Babb Anon start Sprite?

6:26 am

NonoNanette

think i played for a good month without paying any attention to the chog as I was not one to get involved much online. Then I started paying attention a bit to the chat and learned about lickety's list and saw how helpful everyone was and so friendly most of the time

6:26 am

sandyloo

when i started in 2006 it was Angelsong's list that helped me, but I didn't get fireworks for ages

6:26 am

sprite

I really don't know, lyn.

6:26 am

FMitch

I have to laugh as I remember when I first started I wrote down things like lipstik tree and crwth and so forth - now they just get found so easily but how come I still miss etna and eros?

6:26 am

sandyloo

certainly was there in 2006

6:27 am

sandyloo

you and I started very close together lyn

6:27 am

NonoNanette

i have a couple of words like that FM one of them is iron, for some reason I just cant see that when its in a grid

6:28 am

sprite

lol FM, different thing! We learned an awful lot of words that way. The crazy words like crwth were emphasized in chat back then, people did not volunteer loads of information because they did not want to spoil things for the others.

6:29 am

sprite

but not spotting words is something else entirely. I mean, vowel words? Always elusive. Not to mention K words, grinnnnn.

6:29 am

FMitch

Am glad to have babble - have made a good few virtual firends though it and met up and cemented real friendships with several.

6:31 am

sprite

am glad to have Babble too. No IRL friendships yet but to some of you I feel really close, even though we have never met.

6:32 am

FMitch

I think the thing is that after having babbled with a group of people for years you know if someone is genuine or not.

6:32 am

NonoNanette

have missed everyone so much lately as I didnt have a lot of time to play but now things will settle down and I will have more time than I know what to do with probably

6:32 am

sprite

I think that is true.

6:33 am

lynxxx

I do too

6:33 am

sprite

it is lovely to have you with us again, Nanette. Are they good changes or bad or somewhere in between?

6:33 am

FMitch

Well you knowbabblers will be here Nono :)

6:33 am

NonoNanette

yes FM that is true.

6:36 am

Hi and bye ruby and TTFN all.

6:37 am

rubyfoo

hi hi no no

6:37 am

rubyfoo

hello sprite, how are you feeling and do you have sunshine?

6:37 am

this feels like a bunch of friends

6:39 am

feeling a bit blurred around the edges, took a late sleeping pill and had some wonderful hours of undisturbed sleep. Looking out of my window I see blue skies, lovely sun, beautiful trees. I will babble and then go out with Terra.

6:39 am

Thats 40 left for me. Think I'll go curl up on the couch with Stew. Bye all

6:39 am

rubyfoo

bye lynxxxx!!

6:39 am

woot lyn, good job. Cuddle Stew from me and *hugs* to you. Enjoy your evening.

6:39 am

NonoNanette

bye bye Lyn

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I don't even have half, but I stopped being concerned about rankings a couple of months ago

6:40 am

rubyfoo

the vowel words are always the hardest for me

6:41 am

sprite

never gave a sh4 about the rankings. Care intensely for the game and the community.

6:41 am

rubyfoo

yes, you are certainly right, sprite. But I was an old scrabbler, and scores were much too important

6:41 am

rubyfoo

and this is definitely a community!

6:41 am

sprite

vowel words are hard to spot for most of us, I think? I know I find them elusive at best.

6:42 am

NonoNanette

lol Sprite i hadn't seen that sh word here thanks

6:42 am

sprite

lol yvw Nanette ;)

6:42 am

rubyfoo

but they don't accept it the Irish way

6:43 am

sprite

but try making it longer and you will find two more words

6:43 am

sprite

(a 7/8 combo)

6:44 am

NonoNanette

6:44 am

rubyfoo

6:45 am

NonoNanette

6:46 am

sprite

yay Nanette!

6:49 am

sprite

rubyfoo, I have also found practice makes a difference. I am dutch born and raised, and yet if I try a boggle in dutch, I am not half as fast as with Babble. Somehow my brain has learned to watch for english patterns.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

that is funny and wonderful, sprite. it is interesting how often I miss the French words, even though I speak more French than English now (not with husband, but we don't talk much!)

6:51 am

sprite

exactly! It is a funny thing, the way our brains seem to work.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

but still can't get the sh 7/8 combo... :((

7:04 am

7:23 am

sprite

mine is too, SeaSpray, or was originally anyway. Will ask too.

7:24 am

sprite

or.... no, I don't think so, on second thought. Timberman? That is someone who puts down trees maybe? Mine was a carpenter... but dutch for carpenter is timmerman!

7:26 am

SeaSpray

lol sprite timberman harvest trees yes, interesting that a carpenter is a timmerman

7:26 am

Atalante

Carpenter is good :)

7:26 am

sprite

related words having gone different ways, apparently. I like it :)
My hushand has never heard of the tree, btw. Just asked.

7:28 am

morning Mom

7:57 am

sprite

lol. I beg to differ. We went through hell together, with more difficulties than most people face in their lives. We can easily count those years double.

7:57 am

NonoNanette

my husband of 42 years just passed away, and I feel so lost right now

7:57 am

SeaSpray

7:57 am

Mom

I am sorry you had difficulties though

7:59 am

sandyloo

Life is hard sometimes for all of us

7:59 am

Mom

and the richer part as well. :-)

7:59 am

NonoNanette

I pray that part finds you Sprite

8:36 am

Minski

Why is it that my husband can put his dirty dishes in the sink but can't put them in the dishwasher? The dishwasher is right next to the sink. You don't even have to move to open it.

8:36 am

Mom

{{Une}} good morning

hi and bye Une

8:37 am

Mom

thanks Nono

8:37 am

same here Min...my guess is they must think that putting them in the dishwasher is like doing dishes

8:37 am

Mom

thanks Science

8:38 am

Uneaixoise

just zipping by -- off to my mom's -- byeee *poof*

8:38 am

Mom

bye Une

8:38 am

Minski

bye Une

8:38 am

Mom

Minski, Sea ... mine does that as well, actually we both do, we never had a dishwasher before so it is a habit for us to put things in the sink

8:39 am

JBV

bonus round question - why can't they at least put some water in them in the sink - so they don't get all crusty til the fairy godmother appears to put them in the dishwasher

8:39 am

Mom

Hi JBV, mine will do that

8:39 am

JBV

maybe he can do a tutorial

8:39 am

SeaSpray

oh, guess mine is trained, he does the water thing

8:39 am

sandyloo

one more

8:40 am

Mom

put newspaper over the sink with a note, sink closed only the dishwasher is open for business

8:40 am

SeaSpray

great idea Mom

8:41 am

sandyloo

fireworks and I feel I have walked on fire to get there!

8:41 am

Mom

congrats Sandy

8:41 am

Minski

Mine is very adept at the water thing. He says you cooked so I'll do the dishes. Then he clears the table into the sink and fills everything up with water. When I check the kitchen before going to bed I have a sink full of dirty dishes and yucky water to deal with.

8:41 am

SeaSpray

Congrats sandy!

8:42 am

sandyloo

ta now its off to bed-goodnite all and have fun

8:42 am

Mom

have you thought about leaving them, Minski? (I couldn't do it)

8:42 am

Mom

pleasant dreams Sandy

8:43 am

JBV

I do dishes in the morning when I have more energy - no problem as long as they're soaking

8:43 am

Minski

Congrats Sandy! It's Monday afternoon there now isn't it?

8:43 am

SeaSpray

Maybe ask him when he is going to finish doing the dishes?

8:43 am

SeaSpray

bbl have fun all

8:43 am

Mom

bye bye Sea

8:43 am

Minski

I usually ignore them and deal with them in the morning.

8:44 am

Mom

you could just wash yours and leave his in the sink, since he did say he would do them

8:45 am

Mom

my grandma did that

8:45 am

JBV

here's a question on a different topic - is there anyone out there who still goes over the bank statement at the end of the month to balance the checkbook? most people I talk to just rely on the online statement - I have not found any bank errors but I always check and reconcile to the penny

8:45 am

Mom

I like to do that as well JBV, it might be months on end, but I do like to do that

8:46 am

JBV

LOL, MOm - Ijust did 3 months this morning!

8:46 am

sciencegeek

we check

8:46 am

bojazz

i only check against the online statement

8:46 am

sciencegeek

Could one of you please clue me on the far right i?

8:46 am

Mom

morning bo

8:49 am

Mom

have a fun day, Science

8:49 am

sciencegeek

son has graduation tonight so I will likely not be back

8:50 am

sciencegeek

I did get layed off from work

8:50 am

Mom

best wishes for son
Oh no, Science, I am so sorry

8:50 am

sciencegeek

so this graduation should be interesting. The school owner told everyone Friday that they had to take a 10,000 a year cut in salary or go part-time or be layed off.

8:51 am

Mom

wow!

8:51 am

Minski

I gotta go get some stuff done. I should be back later. Will see. TTFN

8:51 am

sciencegeek

He wants an answer by Monday. I took his lay off on Friday

8:51 am

Mom

part-time = no benefits

8:51 am

JBV

oh, no, science - so sorry to hear about your job

8:51 am

sciencegeek

all the teacher are totally freaked out. We dont have any benefits!

8:51 am

Mom

bye bye Minski

8:51 am

sciencegeek

We never had any insurance

8:51 am

Mom

is this a private school?

8:51 am

sciencegeek

Bye Mink

8:52 am

sciencegeek

yes

8:52 am

Joanne123

science "" congrats to your son""

8:52 am

Mom

that is jaw dropping

8:52 am

sciencegeek

private school owner knows nada about education

8:52 am

sciencegeek

ty joanne

8:52 am

Mom

you should not have any trouble being picked up at a public school if you want to go that route

8:52 am

Mom

Hi Joanne

8:52 am

sciencegeek

He also had the audacity to ask me to teach summer school. I told him it was not a financially sound ting for me to do.

8:52 am

Joanne123

gm all

8:53 am

Mom

ballsy

8:53 am

sciencegeek

It costs me $48 a day to drive there and back - 50 cents a mile and my tolls He only pays me 15/hour

8:54 am

sciencegeek

I am going to apply for a part-time job at the community college teaching the kids math - those are the low performing incoming freshman who cannot hack algebra, etc

8:54 am

JBV

science, you must be reeling from this news - and of course you want to celebrate your son's big day,

8:54 am

sciencegeek

and sell my jewelry!

8:54 am

JBV

you will find something i'm sure

8:54 am

sciencegeek

I am PISSED

8:54 am

sciencegeek

the man is a certifiable a$$hole

8:54 am

JBV

there are also many private tutoring centers that usually pay better than what you mentioned

8:55 am

Mom

I am sure you are. I hope you can get the job at the community college

8:55 am

Mom

how long did you teach there?

8:55 am

sciencegeek

Wel, I also let some of my students know this so they can hire me to tutor them next year.

8:55 am

sciencegeek

I have worked there 3 years

8:56 am

sciencegeek

I have 12 years science teaching experience at the high school level (taught college level physics for 4 of those years - IB programme)

8:56 am

Mom

I would think that if the parents got wind of that, they would be looking to place their children some where else next year

8:56 am

JBV

advertise in the upper end communities, science, parents are willing to pay tons to have their kids do OK in algebra, etc.

8:56 am

sciencegeek

yes, I will - pay is about $75-100 hour

8:56 am

JBV

I know parents who are paying tutors $50 or $60 an hour

8:56 am

sciencegeek

50 is great

8:56 am

JBV

(not where I work, but in the district where I live)

8:57 am

sciencegeek

I have to figure out how to advertise for the tutoring....not sure how

8:57 am

JBV

local community newspaper - ads are relatively cheap

8:57 am

JBV

activate your network - former students, parents, etc.

8:58 am

sciencegeek

yes we have that and there are other papers in the high end communities - great idea

8:58 am

sciencegeek

Yes, FB

8:58 am

Mom

our youngest had a horrible math teacher in high school so we called the university and asked and they gave me two names.

8:58 am

sciencegeek

I will also call my alma mater and see if I can get some tutoring there

8:58 am

Mom

if you know someone at that level, that might help

8:58 am

JBV

we did too, mom, but the university students are sciencegeek's competition and they charge less

8:58 am

sciencegeek

most math teachers are horrible because they do not apply their trade as we do in science

8:59 am

Mom

oh no, these were not students. The one we picked was the meteorologist for a local news channel. He was excellent. Matter of fact he relocated to somewhere in texas

8:59 am

sciencegeek

I think my dept chair is still at the university. there is one prof that I know is still there and he and I are friends.

8:59 am

sciencegeek

really, I only need to make $2000/month and I am ok

8:59 am

Mom

that is an excellent idea Science

9:00 am

sciencegeek

For some reason, I feel calm and relieved

9:00 am

JBV

come back to babble whenever you need a pep talk, science, you can do it!

9:00 am

sciencegeek

I will be here a lot!

9:40 am

Anniebrook

Trif, great photos..your son is a handsome young man..he has your features

9:41 am

Trifioso

thanks annie. I have gotten a TON of messages on FB from other girls about the dress, so that is a good sign. might be making even more gowns next year!

9:41 am

Joanne123

ohhh you made them trif...nice

9:41 am

Anniebrook

You made that dress! I am impressed. Pretty girl also.

9:42 am

Joanne123

i didn't know that yesterday

9:42 am

Trifioso

the black and white one, and primo's vest. NOT to blame for the purple haystack.

9:42 am

Joanne123

lol

9:43 am

Anniebrook

going to look at dress again..wtg trif

9:44 am

Anniebrook

yes, the black and white dress is lovely. and yes the purple is a haystack. perfect description

9:45 am

Minski

Very nice dress Trif! I have a sewing machine and don't even know how to thread the needle. You are very talented.

9:45 am

Minski

I'm so glad you didn't make the purple dress. It took a lot of work but eeewww.

9:45 am

Pinikula

great pic, trif ;)

9:45 am

Pinikula

you must be very proud (of your work) and of the children!

9:45 am

Trifioso

LOL and she is a very nice girl, too! oh, she was proudy proudy proud in her dress. I think that is all that mattered. It was her prom, her dress, and she GLOWED in it. Big purple gowns don't resonate with me, obviously, but it was nice to see a happy girl.

9:46 am

Trifioso

and Primo's gal helped me design her dress, so it was EXACTLY what she wanted, and she didn't look like anyone else there. It was all good

9:46 am

Minski

Yes. She looks radiant in it. Like she feels like a princess and that's all that matters Iguess.

9:46 am

peg23

is licketys off today it says there are like six lu words?

9:47 am

Pinikula

no, it's right, peg

9:47 am

Minski

9:47 am

Pinikula

but there are only 5

9:48 am

Trifioso

the biggest joke of the night was the "time poll" we took - all the girls got out of school around 1:30 to go to hair, nails, make up, etc. The boys started getting ready at 5:15 for the 5:30 arrival time. ha ha ha!

9:48 am

Pinikula

I wish my prom dress had been the one I wanted...but, noooo, my mom made one for me that she preferred :(

9:48 am

peg23

but on this board it says there is only one l word

9:49 am

3:34 pm

redturtlehead

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

3:41 pm

jmcnrick

yikes! a broken fridge and extra innings!

3:41 pm

redturtlehead

Its the same as my old job, but I am happy because the pay is better, and it is 2 miles form home, so fast commute.

3:41 pm

jmcnrick

*shoves feather into a recliner and hands her a mohita*

3:41 pm

featherbee

rental in the garage, mini fridge in the dining room for essentials. free rental, it was under warranty

3:42 pm

featherbee

nice red

3:42 pm

featherbee

3:42 pm

redturtlehead

Ok feather, you may have some energy.

3:42 pm

peg23

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

3:43 pm

dcseain

st8 - lives in the sea

3:43 pm

jmcnrick

one is sh7 plural

3:43 pm

featherbee

sigh. better go. just wanted to whine for a while. no, if i don't do it now, i'll have laundry in baskets all week. past experience proves that.

3:43 pm

JBV

good luck with the new job, red, -good news about the commute

3:43 pm

dcseain

sh8 - plural of sh7, which extends sh4

3:43 pm

peg23

I dont have the sh7

3:43 pm

featherbee

bbl! thanks to listening to me!

3:43 pm

redturtlehead

yes, the commute is the best thing ever. Plus I have met now 2 people who work there and they said it was nice.

3:43 pm

JBV

and the pay of course

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

sh**+headgear backwards

3:44 pm

JBV

my new job starts on July - Lady of Leisure ! (sorry, but I'm really starting to look forward to it)

3:44 pm

redturtlehead

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo jbv!

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

sounds great redturtle

3:45 pm

peg23

what do you mean by headgear backwards?

3:45 pm

peg23

my brain has stopped functioning

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

think of the word that is the thing you wear on your head and then spell it backwards

3:46 pm

redturtlehead

there are a lot of positives. I hope I dont regret it....

3:46 pm

jmcnrick

so sh**(poop)+headgear backwards

3:46 pm

3:47 pm

JBV

not yet, red, I'm still working furiously - these last 6 weeks are quite intense. I want to leave everything in tiptop shape

3:47 pm

redturtlehead

I would think so. Especially based on what the gal from Agency told me, she really liked being agency there.

3:47 pm

JBV

so are you working for a hospital then, or for an agency?

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

ok, I will hold jealousy until later...

3:48 pm

jmcnrick

so even if it is not a perfect job you have a shorter commute and gym discounts . . .

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

I'll be working for the hospital, I lik ehte insurance and paid vacation...

3:48 pm

redturtlehead
