Hello Sprite and all

3:20 am

sprite

hey lyn, good day to you. How are you and Stew?

3:22 am

lynxxx

Very well. We are all on the bed, including my daughter asleep, whilst waiting for the paint fumes to dissipate a bit - finished painting that room - Hoobloodyray! How was your week?

3:23 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:23 am

sprite

wow that is great, having finished the paint job.
My week was good, mostly. And right now the sun is out, no cold wind, and I will be taking Terra for a walk soon.

3:24 am

sprite

good morning Haz

3:24 am

Haz1558

Hello!

3:24 am

lynxxx

Morning Haz - have you solved the economy problem yet?

3:25 am

Haz1558

My eyes glaze over too quickly for me to ever solve anything involving numbers.

3:25 am

lynxxx

lol - that includes Soduko?

3:25 am

sprite

I thought the economy problem was scheduled for last week, Haz? This week was world peace, right?

3:25 am

sprite

sudoku rocks

3:26 am

Haz1558

I'm assuming you mean the economic problems in the south of Ireland or do you mean the whole world's economic problems?

3:26 am

Haz1558

Because if it's the world, my calculator hasn't enough digits.

3:26 am

lynxxx

Just Ireland - well, for this week anyway

3:27 am

lynxxx

I love numbers but I can't abide Soduko

3:27 am

Haz1558

Alas, I feel I'll need to leave it to the experts. It's a shame, only a few years ago the irish economy seemed to be riding high, it seems that it was either non-money in the first place, or they spent too much of real money at the time to leave any for the crisis now.

3:27 am

sprite

I play sudoku most nights before sleep. Takes my mind right off worrying and into relaxation mode

3:27 am

lynxxx

mmm sorry just realized all the vowels are back to front in my spelling of iut

3:28 am

lynxxx

it ! sheesh

3:28 am

dfmchfhf

SuDoku gets boring ince you've done around a couple ten thousand... gotta have some variety (like Kakuro, Hashi, Hanjie, Slitherlink, &c.) :oD but yeah, sudoku is an awesome thing to put yourself to sleep with

3:28 am

sprite

lol! You still make perfect sense, lyn, don't worry

3:28 am

Haz1558

Just call it sucky-duck and that gets you out of trying to spell it.

3:29 am

dfmchfhf

ugh, I hate those days like today when I wake up at 0430h and need to be at work at 0830h... too little time to go back to sleep :o(

3:29 am

dfmchfhf

(funny, usually I'm just about to go to sleep at this time...)

3:29 am

sprite

sucky-duck? Grin, sounds yuck.

3:29 am

Haz1558

Could you not manage a couple more hours?

3:30 am

Haz1558

We could bore you back to sleep.

3:30 am

dfmchfhf

I'm horrible at sleep :o)
once I wake up it takes like three hours to get me back into ready-for-sleep mode :o(

3:30 am

Haz1558

Knitting patterns or stock prices should do it.

3:31 am

sprite

or knitting stock prices.

3:31 am

Haz1558

My husband seems to be in permanent ready for sleep when he sits in a chair mode.

3:32 am

lynxxx

He is probably on his feet all day I guess

3:33 am

sprite

he probably gets lots of fresh air too during the day... not sure what the english word is... but here we say somebody is rozig (rosy) after a day of work outdoors.

3:33 am

Haz1558

I think the fresh air thing probably has a lot to do with it. It just amuses me how quickly he can succumb to sleep. My scintillating conversation can't be that scintillating.

3:34 am

sprite

nope. But reassuringly familiar, apparently.

3:35 am

Haz1558

It's very funny when he stirs, he'll try to comment on something on TV to try to make out that he's been paying attention.

3:35 am

lynxxx

He is probably sleeping off all Haz's great cooking!

3:35 am

FMitch

Morning/evening all.

3:35 am

lynxxx

morning FM

3:36 am

Haz1558

Good morning, FM. How are you? Any more badger visits through the night?

3:36 am

sprite

hey FM *hug*

3:36 am

sprite

oh man, being outdoors a greater part of the day and good cooking. Best recipe for being asleep in minutes.

3:36 am

FMitch

Hello hello!
No more visits that I know of as I moved the feeder to a high place overnight. incredibly foggy here this morning.

3:37 am

lynxxx

badgers! did you sing the Badger Song FM?

3:37 am

sprite

what kind of visits did you have?

3:37 am

sprite

Ata! Finally, the spear thrower is actually in the grid.

3:38 am

FMitch

Something bent the metal rod that hold a bird feeder. I think it was a fox.

3:38 am

dfmchfhf

knitting patterns? o.0

3:38 am

lynxxx

Woomera isn't here

3:38 am

FMitch

I feel I am lacking something in my education lynxxx as I don't know the badger song :)

3:38 am

sprite

wow. Beautiful creatures but not close to your home.

3:39 am

Haz1558

I don't know the Badger song either.

3:39 am

Haz1558

3:41 am

Atalante

3:42 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Ata!

3:42 am

sprite

eh yes and good morning, Ata, and how are you today? How is the knee and how is the job? How are Hobbit and Sily?

3:42 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, a few bars of the badger song sufficed...

3:43 am

Atalante

and morning :) I must do the grid now the spear thrower is there!

3:43 am

sprite

who wrote the lyrics, Haz, do you know?

3:43 am

dfmchfhf

spear thrower? o.0

3:43 am

Haz1558

I don't know but they needn't wait for any kind of award.

3:43 am

Atalante

it's a classic song

3:44 am

Haz1558

at6/18

3:44 am

sprite

they'd be better off knitting as well

3:44 am

dfmchfhf

ah, not awake enough to find long words yet.

3:44 am

Atalante

and one of the x-men is in the grid too, and accepted

3:44 am

Haz1558

First three letters of an ocean, repeated.

3:44 am

dfmchfhf

How many words today?

3:44 am

Haz1558

117 words.

3:45 am

sprite

lemonade in dutch is called 'ranja' (from orange/oranje, the first kind of lemonade available here). But not valid in english, alas.

3:45 am

sprite

oh yes, great Ata, thanks

3:45 am

sprite

and that is fireflies.

3:45 am

FMitch

wtg spritey, congrats!

3:45 am

Congratulations!

3:46 am

Congrats Sprite!

3:46 am

Lilecama

hello everyone. how's the grid today?

3:46 am

Lilecama

well done sprite!

3:46 am

sprite

wonderful grid. Only one compound, some beautiful words.

3:46 am

Atalante

yay spritey!

3:46 am

sprite

hi Lile :)

3:46 am

Lilecama

wonderful as in easy or 'I enjoy a challenge' sprite?

3:46 am

FMitch

Hi Lile

3:47 am

lynxxx

hi Lile

3:47 am

Haz1558

Wonderful as in not easy at all!

3:47 am

sprite

the less common words are mostly short, so great for the monkeys.

3:47 am

dfmchfhf

see... 68 words found, average word length 4.15.

3:47 am

Lilecama

:D everybody!!

3:47 am

sprite

not easy, Lile. But fun!

3:47 am

dfmchfhf

...and I just found two words ending in -er. (starting to fully wake up, I think!)

3:48 am

Lilecama

ok - I'll splash in... erm how can not easy be fun unless you're a glutton for punishment?

3:48 am

Lilecama

I'm stuck.... already!

3:49 am

Haz1558

To counteract the badger song, try this http://tinyurl.com/4drc34

3:49 am

dfmchfhf

lile, I usually list about 90% in, which is hard but fun :o)

3:49 am

sprite

hate to leave you gals, but Terra is waiting and so is the sun. Have fun.

(lol Lile... because of learning new words? Or because typing away in monkey mode is so rewarding with this grid? Or because... welll... maybe I AM a glutton for punishment, grin. But getting better!)

3:49 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

3:49 am

rubyfoo

prite

Bye sprite, hello ruby.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

3:50 am

Atalante

very philippiney today. Tagalog is a phantom, and daga is the word for rat in Tagalog

3:50 am

sprite

we will be having the 12 days of christmas icon themes again this year, btw.

3:50 am

dfmchfhf

hi ruby :o)

3:51 am

FMitch

I was just about to say the same thing Ata ;)
Hi ruby.

3:51 am

Atalante

I believe you, millions wouldn't :P

3:51 am

Haz1558

Is Tagalong the language of the Gooseberry?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

is the at word a lizard named for our ata?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

it looks like a mayan word

3:52 am

sprite

hi and bye rubyfoo

3:53 am

Atalante

loooooooooool Haz, thats a very good one. the badger song has increased your brilliance

3:53 am

Haz1558

I don't know about that!

3:55 am

lynxxx

Hi Ruby

3:55 am

rubyfoo

3:55 am

Atalante

I've got all the words now. WHy does my page say 62 left?

3:56 am

Haz1558

Bad page.

3:56 am

Atalante

I think it must be lying

3:56 am

sprite

ok, really off now, Haz I enjoyed the Christmas song!

3:56 am

lynxxx

Bye Spritely

3:57 am

Haz1558

It's fun, isn't it? I loved that the Home for the Bewildered made an appearance.

3:57 am

Atalante

and there's certainly not an 8 letter word

3:57 am

Lilecama

I agree with you there ata

3:57 am

Atalante

Stuart should go to the HftB

3:58 am

rubyfoo

for sure, ata, not possible

3:58 am

dfmchfhf

How many words again? Memory not working yet. :o/

3:58 am

Atalante

Hft Terminally B

3:58 am

FMitch

117

3:58 am

Haz1558

Is cajolt a kind of sharp persuasion? I'm cross that we can't get cajole.

3:58 am

Atalante

taser persuaser

3:59 am

Lilecama

yay! bottom e greyed out! ;)

3:59 am

Haz1558

You're right, it could be a good marketing name for a taser. Gosh, we're like Alex in the Apprentice, creative powerhouses...

4:00 am

Atalante

still giggling about Stuart's week

4:00 am

Haz1558

Great effort, Lile!

4:00 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, he of the extreme masculinity. Does he shave yet, do you think?

4:00 am

Lilecama

thank you haz! *bows deeply*

4:01 am

Haz1558

I've greyed that tile as well, so I know the effort involved.

4:01 am

Atalante

doubt it

4:02 am

Lilecama

wtg haz!

4:02 am

dfmchfhf

How many words to grey out that tile?

4:02 am

Haz1558

1

4:02 am

Haz1558

But it was a four letter word.

4:02 am

Lilecama

lol!

4:03 am

dfmchfhf

oh, heh :o) then I've greyed it too

4:03 am

Haz1558

Mutual respect.

4:03 am

Lilecama

yay dfm!

4:03 am

dfmchfhf

ooh yay two more sixers :oD

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I greyed the o hahah

4:03 am

FMitch

joins the "I've greyed the e tile club"

4:03 am

Lilecama

impressive!

4:04 am

Lilecama

welcome fm! congrats

4:04 am

dfmchfhf

I bet there ARE no O words :oO

4:04 am

Haz1558

It'll take Ata ages.

4:04 am

Lilecama

lol! haz

4:04 am

Haz1558

She'll probably ask for clues.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

got the e, too, but otherwise, not much and I don't believe there's an 8!

4:04 am

Atalante

I got it ages ago!

4:04 am

Lilecama

I greyed the O tile right from the start

4:05 am

Atalante

oh Haz, you can cook. What should I cook with a ham joint? As in vegetables and potatoes etc

4:05 am

dfmchfhf

I'm still looking for words starting from the O, but I guess I don't need to now :o)

4:06 am

Haz1558

Cauliflour or broccoli?

4:06 am

Lilecama

wasted effort dfm

4:06 am

Haz1558

And always potatoes. Boiled or baked maybe.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

with a ham joint, all kinds of bean, a little pasta, onions and celery and you'll have a great minestrone.

4:06 am

Haz1558

But not a soup, ruby, the ham's for carving, I think.

4:07 am

Haz1558

If you do a cauliflour cheese then you have some sauce to go with everything.

4:07 am

Atalante

I always make ham and then just end up eating it in sandwiches cos proper ham sandwiches are delicious. Yes, as a main meat thing

4:07 am

dfmchfhf

isn't it cauliflower? o.0

4:08 am

Atalante

oooo cauliflower cheese! that's a lovely idea!

4:08 am

Haz1558

Probably. I'm not sure about the spelling of broccoli either. I know I've got potatoes right.

4:09 am

Atalante

yes, cauliflower

4:11 am

Atalante

write it out 100 times till you remember

4:11 am

Lilecama

is this m word as tricky as the e word?

4:11 am

FMitch

I use broccoli instead of cauliflower and saute some onion with a hint of garlic and then combine with the cheese sauce.

4:11 am

Haz1558

But don't overcook your cauliflower or it will be mushy. Cauliflower is best with a bit of bite. Cauliflower doesn't like to be overdone. There, three times.

4:12 am

Lilecama

found it!

4:12 am

Lilecama

strange word

4:12 am

FMitch

it is worse Lile

4:12 am

rubyfoo

yay lile

4:12 am

lynxxx

You would almost put the mu5 on your garden

4:13 am

FMitch

This is a grid of non words

4:13 am

Lilecama

best place for it lynxxx

4:13 am

dfmchfhf

heh, typo'd the m earlier :oD yay for dvorak

4:13 am

Lilecama

yes fm - never heard of the li5

4:14 am

Atalante

li5 is very common for me!

4:14 am

lynxxx

Better do something about dinner - bye all

4:14 am

Lilecama

bye lynxxx

4:14 am

Lilecama

how so ata?

4:14 am

Atalante

I must say it at least a few times a week

4:14 am

Haz1558

I bet lynxxx is going to make ham and cauliflower.

4:14 am

FMitch

Bye lynxxx

4:14 am

Haz1558

She's stolen our ideas.

4:14 am

Lilecama

she's mu4'd them

4:15 am

dfmchfhf

thanks for the li5, whoever mentioned the fiveyness :o)

4:15 am

Atalante

one of my frieds has never had ham in coca cola so I said I'd make it for them

4:15 am

Lilecama

lol ata! and why, may I ask?

4:15 am

Haz1558

Oh, that's a Nigella 'wait until I pout' Lawson recipe, isn't it?

4:15 am

Atalante

because we use li5 a lot to map the Kent coast

4:16 am

Atalante

yep! and it's absolutely *gorgeous*

4:16 am

dfmchfhf

ham in coca cola? o.0

4:16 am

Haz1558

Just like her. (Sarcastic font)

4:16 am

Lilecama

oooo maybe you're a scientist? (just looked it up) and now see you chat...

4:16 am

Jayk

I made that once. It's not very good. Morning!

4:17 am

Lilecama

easy word for you then :)

4:17 am

Atalante

ham in coke is absolutely delicious

4:17 am

rubyfoo

gm jayk!

4:17 am

Haz1558

Maybe Ata is a scientist? With Einstein as a grandfather what else could she be?

4:17 am

Atalante

yep :) we use li5, multi-beam and side-scan sonars :)

4:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Jayk.

4:17 am

Jayk

Hi Ruby, Haz, Ata, Etc

4:18 am

Jayk

this thing is fiendish!

4:18 am

Atalante

I could have deviated from the family norms!

4:18 am

Lilecama

does the kent coast need so much mapping?

4:18 am

Haz1558

Another letter greyed. We're flying through.

4:18 am

Jayk

lucky for me i woke up at 3 effing thirty

4:19 am

Atalante

every coast needs so much mapping

4:19 am

Lilecama

which one haz?

4:19 am

dfmchfhf

<-- never had ham in coke o.0 recipe (or something)?

4:19 am

Lilecama

do coasts change so much then?

4:19 am

FMitch

that is an ungodly hour Jayk

4:19 am

Haz1558

The L. A five letter as well.

4:19 am

FMitch

Back in 5, am down to 21

4:19 am

Atalante

it's more that most really haven't ever been mapped in great detail before the last few years

4:20 am

Jayk

Very ungodly!

4:20 am

Lilecama

ata's word, that is haz

4:20 am

Haz1558

See you shortly.

4:20 am

Atalante

we map a lot to help work out all the new marine conservation zones that are being created at the moment

4:20 am

Haz1558

Meaning, see FM shortly, I'm still here.

4:21 am

Lilecama

that's interesting ata. You would have thought the coast map would be the outline for a country.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

not even half. notice the da4/7 and the dr4/5, both for expressing frustration with this hard grid

4:21 am

Atalante

it is - but now we can map down to metre sensitivities out to sea, so we can see all the seabed and what's on it, and where features are etc etc

4:22 am

Lilecama

ah - good work ata. Saw Massive Nature episode last night. sardines being attacked by dolphins, sharks, sealions and gannets all working together... impressive stuff!

4:22 am

Haz1558

Belfast's river counts as a word - la5.

4:22 am

Atalante

goodness!

4:22 am

Atalante

all marine stuff is quite amazing :)

4:23 am

Lilecama

dont know belfast's river... ;(

4:23 am

Haz1558

Google it!

4:23 am

Atalante

one vowel off an x-man :)

4:23 am

Lilecama

fascinating and inspiring work you have ata

4:23 am

Haz1558

Or la plus the start of a male goose.

4:24 am

Lilecama

ty - got it!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

didn't know there was a river in Belfast, ty haz

4:24 am

Haz1558

So now you know!.

4:24 am

Atalante

*smug*

4:24 am

Lilecama

50 words down, but must go and do something. bbl to monkey some more strange and silly words...

4:26 am

dfmchfhf

thanks haz :o)

4:26 am

rubyfoo

any clue for the bottom u for nbt?

4:26 am

dfmchfhf

u4/5

4:26 am

Haz1558

ur4

4:26 am

Haz1558

And ur5 - u plus unusual

4:27 am

rubyfoo

ty dfm

4:27 am

FMitch

Am going to try the standing on my head approach and see if that helps.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

monkeys are looking for the other but, at least, nbt

4:27 am

Haz1558

Make sure to take everything out of your pockets, FM.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

yay, u's greyed

4:27 am

Haz1558

I'm glad it's not just me having problems with this.

4:27 am

Lilecama

lol fm! bye all!

4:28 am

FMitch

good point Haz :)
Bye Lile.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Bye, Lile.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

bye lile

4:28 am

FMitch

Yay found the 8 - it works!

4:28 am

Haz1558

But I've never been able to stand on my head.

4:29 am

Haz1558

If I turn the monitor upside down ,will that work?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

first letters, fm?

4:29 am

FMitch

Now that is a much more sensible idea Haz

4:29 am

FMitch

ca8/50 (its 2 words)

4:30 am

Haz1558

*smug* Always sensible.

4:31 am

dfmchfhf

There's an 8? o.0

4:31 am

Atalante

ty fm

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure I have the first part, but can't imagine the second. Too many possibilities\

4:32 am

Atalante

what this grid does not have a lot of! (of words)

4:32 am

FMitch

ha ha Ata!

4:34 am

Atalante

cultalog - a listing of all the world's weirdos?

4:34 am

Haz1558

I still think that ca4 cl4/7s would go down well with Dutch truckers.

4:34 am

Lilecama

am back - cannot leave. stuck to chair... glued to screen...

4:34 am

Haz1558

Lile is heading for a case of babble butt.

4:34 am

dfmchfhf

superglue or normal glue, lile?

4:34 am

FMitch

LOL Haz v funny.

4:35 am

Atalante

are you well, Haz? First you admit not being able to spell a word, then use a word like butt!

4:35 am

Haz1558

ca4/5 cl4/5 - a condition suffered by Dutch truckers if they don't exercise enough.

4:35 am

Lilecama

lol! is that rbi? (repetative babble injury)

4:35 am

Haz1558

I know, my standards are slipping.

4:36 am

Lilecama

it sounds so much better than babble bottom tho, dont you think?

4:37 am

Haz1558

In my defence, people have always been the butt of jokes.

4:37 am

FMitch

If Haz starts to use txt speak we'll know something is really wrong.

4:37 am

Atalante

oh yes, it just sounded funny coming from you :)

4:38 am

Lilecama

blame it on the grid....

4:38 am

Haz1558

I know. Text speak and profanities will indicate either dementia or kidnap.

4:39 am

Lilecama

which is it today, haz?

4:39 am

Haz1558

Probably the start of dementia. I blame that badger song.

4:40 am

Haz1558

And this grid is enough to make anyone mad.

4:40 am

Lilecama

badgers are not good for ones health - just like this grid!

4:41 am

Lilecama

and sprite said it was fun!!!!

4:41 am

Haz1558

It's just one of those slow grids where you pick out a word at a time. Ten minutes apart. And then nothing.

4:42 am

FMitch

Am giving and and going to the list.

4:42 am

Atalante

it is fun!

4:42 am

Lilecama

I'm more than half way, I've allowed myself to list and I can't even find an al4!!!

4:42 am

Lilecama

just cos you know words like li5 ata!!!

4:42 am

Haz1558

(think singing, LIle)

4:43 am

Atalante

*smug*

4:43 am

Lilecama

another al4 haz...

4:43 am

Haz1558

al plus Mr Garfunkel's start.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Or al plus the Camelot King's start.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Or a plus the ascending bird.

4:44 am

Haz1558

There - haven't used them in clues for AGES.

4:44 am

Lilecama

ty haz! *sigh*

4:44 am

Lilecama

Camelot's king ok, Mr, Garfunkel yes, but ascending bird???

4:45 am

dfmchfhf

I don't get *any* of those clues :o/

4:45 am

Haz1558

'The **** Ascending' Vaughan Williams

4:46 am

Atalante

without its last letter

4:47 am

Lilecama

(back from google) .... ah - that bird! ;)

4:47 am

FMitch

Thanks for those a's!

4:47 am

Haz1558

Yes, it should have been part of the ascending bird.

4:47 am

Haz1558

(Making note to be more accurate in future)

4:47 am

Atalante

very sloppy work today, haz

4:48 am

Lilecama

definitely dementia

4:48 am

Haz1558

I know.

4:48 am

Haz1558

I am ul5 ashamed of myself.

4:49 am

Lilecama

nice recovery!

4:50 am

FMitch

Perhaps you should stop smoking g5/24

4:50 am

Lilecama

ty for the g5 fm!

4:50 am

FMitch

yw :)

4:51 am

Lilecama

50 left - slog slog

4:51 am

Lilecama

*makes note not to listen to sprite when she calls a grid fun*

4:52 am

Haz1558

She's Dutch and probably has mistranslated the meaning of the word 'fun'. She probably thinks it means fiendishly difficult and guaranteed to make you pull your hair out.

4:53 am

Haz1558

Her English is usually pretty good, but now and again you just know that she's got hold of the wrong end of the stick.

4:53 am

Lilecama

that must be it - especially when she must feel at home with the cl in the grid...

4:54 am

Haz1558

It's the only feasible explanation.

4:54 am

Lilecama

f-fiendishly, u-unfriendly, n-nasty

4:54 am

FMitch

we should send her to ga4/6 as a fr5/20

4:54 am

Haz1558

You've got it, Lile.

4:54 am

Atalante

sucky duck done :)

4:54 am

Lilecama

ty f5 fm!

4:54 am

dfmchfhf

thanks for the g5 fm :o)

4:55 am

Lilecama

clever cl4's ata!

4:55 am

FMitch

sucky duck was a pain 1st this this a.m it wouldn't save and took forever to enter the numbers.

4:55 am

Atalante

fun puzzle though :P

4:55 am

dfmchfhf

ooh found the 8 :oD

4:55 am

FMitch

yay dfm

4:55 am

Haz1558

Look at that, FM. You give the clues and Ata gets the glory.

4:56 am

Haz1558

And she wasn't even here, she was doing sucky-duck. I'd sulk if I were you.

4:56 am

FMitch

such is life.

4:56 am

Atalante

I was doing both!

4:56 am

Lilecama

it's the mu4 doing its bit again

4:56 am

Lilecama

what about this au5 then?

4:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, but you weren't giving clues!

4:57 am

FMitch

Did I point out I finished sucky duck ages ago and btw I have fireworks here too.

4:57 am

Haz1558

Glory abounds around FM!

4:57 am

Atalante

that wasn't implied in your words. You said I was away doing sucky duck :P

4:57 am

dfmchfhf

au5/12 of the ear or hearing

4:57 am

Haz1558

Well done!

4:57 am

Lilecama

is sucky duck another game???

4:57 am

Lilecama

yay fm

4:57 am

Atalante

YAY FM!

4:58 am

FMitch

It's what we call Sudoku Lile.

4:58 am

dfmchfhf

we decided to call SuDoku "sucky duck", lile

4:58 am

Haz1558

Sucky duck is Sudoku.

4:58 am

dfmchfhf

speaking of which I should check out IronSudoku again, eventually...

4:58 am

Lilecama

ah - ty

4:58 am

Lilecama

not so good with numbers myself

4:59 am

Atalante

ok, got to go for a bit. back later for the last fun 39!

4:59 am

Lilecama

or with hearing... au5 is hiding

4:59 am

Lilecama

Au plus part of the bird ascending, backwards.

5:00 am

Haz1558

I know, you can't ascend backwards, but my mind's working strangely.

5:00 am

Lilecama

5:00 am

dfmchfhf

I like KaKuro better... anyone know some online site for it?

5:00 am

Lilecama

5:00 am

Haz1558

Poor wee surprised bird, it'll do no singing in that shape.

5:00 am

Atalante

(you can if you're a mouse and a cat has grabbed you by your tail, then you'd ascend backwards side first towards the fangs)

5:00 am

dfmchfhf

slitherlink is fun too...

5:01 am

Lilecama

what is slitherlink - sounds harry potterish

5:01 am

Haz1558

Oh, poor little mouse.

5:01 am

Atalante

5:02 am

Lilecama

5:02 am

dfmchfhf

5:02 am

Haz1558

Right, I'm going to be all disciplined and get some other things done. I've had about as much fun as I can take with this grid, I'll just have to come back for more!

5:02 am

Lilecama

looks like a nice distraction from this grid

5:03 am

Lilecama

5:15 am

Lilecama

5:15 am

dfmchfhf

5:16 am

Lilecama

5:17 am

Lilecama

jeez, I'm even missing the most common words in this da4 grid

5:17 am

dfmchfhf

5:17 am

Lilecama

6:15 am

dfmchfhf

I don't think user "all" exists, zooz :o)

6:15 am

zoozzoom

lol..no i think you are right..i could hear the echowhen i said it..LOL

6:16 am

dfmchfhf

heh, I was *almost* able to reply to myself without interruption :o/

6:17 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:17 am

zoozzoom

not an easy grid this...need 9 more words.

6:18 am

dfmchfhf

21 words to go, haven't listed yet :o)

6:19 am

zoozzoom

me neither..eyes are starting ache..lol

6:20 am

dfmchfhf

but you have Stats! :oO

6:21 am

dfmchfhf

I spent about 15 minutes plugging away at O words before I learnt there were none... you don't need to through that ;oP

6:21 am

zoozzoom

this is true, dfmchfhf, i could not do these grids without the stats.

6:21 am

dfmchfhf

I couldn't pull it off without the chat though :o)

6:22 am

zoozzoom

I thought after a while i just had to go pro, so glad i did..made grid life alot easier..lol

6:23 am

dfmchfhf

I'm wishing my credit card can get here already so I *can* go pro... or maybe I need to figure this prepaid card thing :o/

6:24 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes, i remember a few of us talking about this before now you mention it..i hope your credit card gets to you soon.

6:25 am

zoozzoom

will have to call you DFM easier than typing your whole babble name :-)

6:26 am

dfmchfhf

most people end up shortening my name :o) it's inherent to one that is so hard to type/remember

6:26 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:27 am

zoozzoom

when i type, i do one finger typing & am looking at the keyboard..lol

6:28 am

dfmchfhf

It has gotten to the point where I even respond to "c" (that's my name shortened to "d" and then 'shortened' further still by removing the '|' part)

6:29 am

zoozzoom

lol..just found a drug term word

6:31 am

dfmchfhf

hmm, I wonder how much my Babbling will change when I go Pro... :o/

6:32 am

carleekat

morning all...do i start???

6:33 am

zoozzoom

Not sure, will make it go quicker thats for sure..although some grids are very twisty as you know.

6:33 am

NonoNanette

Morning Babblers :)

6:33 am

dfmchfhf

morning carlee :o) always start!

6:33 am

carleekat

6:33 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Nono :-)

6:33 am

carleekat

6:34 am

carleekat

6:34 am

zoozzoom

to be honest, i don`t think it is a quick grid, but still start :-)

6:34 am

dfmchfhf

not too quick... I'm four hours in list-less and I'm at 99/117. 100/117.

6:35 am

dfmchfhf

erh, three hours in. :o/

6:36 am

zoozzoom

hope you were not telling yourself it will take you another hour to find the last 7, DFM..lol

6:36 am

dfmchfhf

"curare" is very phantomey!

6:36 am

dfmchfhf

I'd probably list before then!

6:37 am

kalea

6:42 am

zoozzoom

6:42 am

jmcnrick

little is the operative word!

6:42 am

carleekat

6:44 am

carleekat

6:44 am

dfmchfhf

6:44 am

jmcnrick

your hoo hahs aren't awake? that confusals me

6:45 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:45 am

jmcnrick

nope it rose up from hell

6:45 am

EspritdJean

thought a hoo ha was a vajayjay

6:45 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Jean :-)

6:45 am

jmcnrick

a hoo ha is a more dangling part

6:45 am

EspritdJean

hya zooz

6:46 am

jmcnrick

and as much as i love oprah she has a lot to answer for for popularizing that word

6:46 am

dfmchfhf

*something* told me it would be a bad idea to try googling the term... lucky I didn't? o.0

6:46 am

zoozzoom

rivet rivet

6:46 am

EspritdJean

she stole it from "Scrubs"

6:47 am

EspritdJean

along with vajingo

6:47 am

jmcnrick

i don't know if it would have worked since there are so many variant spellings dfm

6:48 am

jmcnrick

nevertheless it was oprah that got it into the average conversation

6:48 am

MollyL

Ah, it's Friday morning and we are chatting about hoo hah's and vajangos. Very good. Carry on.

6:48 am

zoozzoom

Hello, molly :-)

6:48 am

dfmchfhf

still probably would have landed more hits to certain topics than I would want :o) especially at work

6:49 am

EspritdJean

concede, jmc

6:49 am

jmcnrick

what do you want molly some of us have not had our coffee yet :-(

6:49 am

MollyL

Heya Zoom. Happy Friday.

6:49 am

6:50 am

EspritdJean

6:50 am

jmcnrick

what kind of tea?

6:50 am

jmcnrick

6:50 am

dfmchfhf

6:51 am

jmcnrick

kinda of a dr** when your baby says she loves you. . . .

6:51 am

dfmchfhf

no good tea at work... also teabags :o(

6:51 am

EspritdJean

says she "don't" love you

6:51 am

jmcnrick

uh you realize pekoe has caffeine, right?

6:51 am

MollyL

The Buckinghams!

6:52 am

dfmchfhf

6:52 am

jmcnrick

6:52 am

jmcnrick

*pokes dfm to wake him up*

6:53 am

dfmchfhf

ow! *continues Babbling*

6:53 am

jmcnrick

baby! it wasn't that hard

6:53 am

MollyL

Is it just me, or is God's little ac4 in 98% of the grids?

6:54 am

jmcnrick

words tend to cluster in grids

6:55 am

jmcnrick

for while i thought the hawiian goose was never going to fly away

6:56 am

jmcnrick

at the rate i am going i think i may find all 75 4 letter words before anything else

6:56 am

MollyL

That sounds like a ukulele song lyric

6:57 am

dfmchfhf

jmc I thought so too :o) especially because I started at 0430h today

6:57 am

Molly - just read your profile, too. I am so sorry! I am about your same age. My husband and I are celebrating 28 years today. Sometimes I know we take each other for granted and we shouldn't. Hugs to you for what you have gone through and continue to go through.

8:58 am

trentsnana

One more for nbt. Anyone have a clue for the "M" word?

8:59 am

m9f9l

mu5. only one vowel

8:59 am

MollyL

Thanks TNana and happy anniversary. I love a good love story.

9:00 am

Haz1558

mu5/16 - three quarters of a stubborn equine, plus baby's bed without the vowel. (or army bed)

9:00 am

trentsnana

ty - another strange word!

9:00 am

trentsnana

thanks, Molly

9:00 am

9:02 am

Haz1558

9:03 am

m9f9l

at ER his blood sugar was 400. His a1c (or whatever it's called) was 13.1 (top of range is 12!) and triglycerides which should be in the 120-170 range were 1203

9:04 am

I had a good friend who was diabetic (he also passed away recently, yes it has been tough in Molly's world). I learned a lot about diabetes from him.

9:05 am

trentsnana

can't believe there are ten words with that top "T"!

9:05 am

MollyL

I'm right there with you TNana, not believing it.

9:05 am

m9f9l

i know! I have 3 of them

9:05 am

dfmchfhf

9:06 am

trentsnana

I've found two and struggled with that - ha!!

9:06 am

m9f9l

9:06 am

m9f9l

9:07 am

dfmchfhf

thanks nana :o) got me 2 more

9:08 am

9:09 am

Bingo! right column

9:10 am

cgw8

Can anyone give any more hints for sixes? I only have 3.

9:11 am

9:11 am

9:11 am

m9f9l

I have at6, ca6, ha6, and ta6. what do you have?

9:12 am

dfmchfhf

:o( none I don't have m9

9:12 am

dfmchfhf

tu6 is a Canadian fish(es) name

9:12 am

cgw8

Um...I have at6, ha6, and ta6

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i never met you dfm. are you new?

9:13 am

m9f9l

there's a tr also.

9:13 am

dfmchfhf

9:13 am

m9f9l

dfm is a speedy.

9:14 am

dfmchfhf

First month back from a 1.5-year hiatus, before which I've only chatted exactly twice... so I guess I'm new to the chat?

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

oh i thought perhaps you had never met haz. i think you offended her

9:14 am

dfmchfhf

:o( I did?

9:15 am

dfmchfhf

Babble ate my tr6 :o/ but says I already have it...

9:15 am

9:15 am

m9f9l

9:16 am

m9f9l

don't worry dfm. It was obvious that you were just being silly. Nothing to take offense at.

9:17 am

welki

hello :)

9:17 am

trentsnana

Hi welki

9:18 am

trentsnana

anyone have a clue for the 8 yet?

9:19 am

m9f9l

compound trent

9:19 am

welki

yes ... ca8 ... shopping ca** + **** of laundry

9:19 am

m9f9l

ca 8/50

9:19 am

trentsnana

ty!

9:20 am

m9f9l

or welki could just spell it out.LOL

9:20 am

cgw8

Ugh, I need to get a bigger vocabulary.

9:20 am

dfmchfhf

ca8/50 the quantity a typical (usu.) hand-drawn or horse-drawn vehicular container is capable of retaining

9:20 am

m9f9l

yeah cg, but where could you ever use it?!? LOL

9:20 am

trentsnana

that was a great clue, welki

9:20 am

welki

hmmm.. thought she asked for a clue, not for stats

9:21 am

cgw8

Well, I play scrabble a lot. xD

9:21 am

m9f9l

sorry.l. I usually play at flip, when stats ARE the clue!LOL don't mind me.. just silly up too early

9:21 am

dfmchfhf

cgw, just monkey the words ;o) We all do, to some extent...

9:22 am

dfmchfhf

The key to Scrabble is not a big vocabulary... it's knowing how to lie about fake words ;o)

9:22 am

welki

the rules change here every day (or more often sometimes) ... i'll just be quiet now :)

9:22 am

cgw8

Hahaha, that's true.

9:22 am

m9f9l

no don't be quiet! this is a tough grid!

9:23 am

dfmchfhf

I played a game with only seven real words on the board o.0 and I think all three of us lost something on the order of 10 turns each...

9:23 am

trentsnana

I think welki took it that you didn't like her giving me that good clue, m9

9:23 am

cgw8

Haha, wow. My games are boring, most of us don't lie.

9:24 am

m9f9l

yes.. I figured that.

9:25 am

welki

no worries ... some folks get ticked off when clues like that are given, some don't. there's one player here who'll leave if someone gives a pretty obvious description of a word. i say, this is a game *shrug*

9:26 am

cgw8

I like obvious clues. xD

9:26 am

m9f9l

I have noticed that certain times of day have different "flavors".LOL

9:26 am

m9f9l

I give REALLY obvious clues right before flip!LOL

9:26 am

m9f9l

and very cryptic ones right after..

9:26 am

welki

i have an eclectic palate, so bring on the flavors! lolol

9:27 am

m9f9l

I think it's fun to play with the clues too.

9:27 am

m9f9l

sometimes I try and have all my clues be related to songs. that's very hard to do...

9:27 am

dfmchfhf

I like definitions more than clues myself :o/

9:27 am

trentsnana

I see you love to fish, welki - me, too

9:28 am

trentsnana

I live in Montana and there are lots of opportunities here, also

9:28 am

dfmchfhf

if I give clues I make them like cryptic crossword ones...

9:28 am

m9f9l

you mean actual fish, right? we're not talking about babble?LOL

9:28 am

welki

bottom line is that this is a g*a*m*e ... if some folks don't want to see obvious clues, then close down the chat box ... but those same players are the ones who ask and ask for clues, but when they finish the grid, they *poof* into the vapours

9:28 am

trentsnana

all true

9:29 am

welki

<-- is just waiting for the ice fishing to begin (shouldn't be long, it's -6F here today)

9:29 am

trentsnana

yes, actual fish!

9:29 am

m9f9l

ah.. like folks who say tu6? without even saying hello first?

9:29 am

trentsnana

we have a reservoir not too far from here that is great for ice fishing

9:29 am

m9f9l

that always cracks me up for some reason

9:29 am

dfmchfhf

-6F is how much C?

9:29 am

trentsnana

will be awhile, *sigh*, before it's frozen....

9:29 am

m9f9l

ice fishing! eek

9:29 am

m9f9l

it's COLD

9:30 am

dfmchfhf

(sorry, too lazy to calculate)

9:30 am

trentsnana

not if you dress warm!

9:30 am

welki

feh .. common courtesy (like common sense) ain't so common

9:30 am

o-o

I do not say hello or good bye and never have figured out the best bait for ice

9:30 am

welki

-6F = about -20C

9:30 am

dfmchfhf

<-- wore a t-shirt to go icefishing last time o.o

9:30 am

m9f9l

hi BR

9:30 am

MollyL

I agree Welki. If someone asks for stats, I give stats. If someone asks for a clue, I give a clue. And not "it builds on the n6" because what if they don't have the n6. It is *just a game*.

9:31 am

welki

hey babble .. the best bait for ice is a glass :)

9:31 am

trentsnana

that's crazy, df!

9:31 am

m9f9l

LOL

9:31 am

dfmchfhf

needless to say, I got frostbite :o(

9:31 am

m9f9l

it can be awefully sunny and still be icy I suppose.

9:31 am

trentsnana

I'll bet

9:31 am

welki

i'm old. i go icefishing with creature comforts.

9:32 am

m9f9l

oh... that would have been pb in previous grid!LOL

9:32 am

dfmchfhf

<-- doesn't feel the cold a lot of the time... forgets his jacket and gets frostbitten pretty often...

9:32 am

welki

stay south, dfm .. or risk losing important parts!

9:32 am

dfmchfhf

glad it's not the previous grid right now :o)

9:33 am

crosshair

9:57 am

welki

hehehe, grass is always greener

9:57 am

I've had a tile floor before..and it got really slick when wet. I don't like ceramic. I don't like grout.

9:58 am

crosshair

my goal is 225 a month,if flights get cheaper or i use less on misc items during the trip dfm,i can just dump it back into the household funds

9:59 am

crosshair

but you always run into unforseen expenses,you never save just the exact ammoint

9:59 am

m9f9l

she won't notice that?!?!?

9:59 am

crosshair

i do the finances m9

9:59 am

welki

m9f9l

I

10:01 am

crosshair

it is not as hard as you think,till last month we had our cable with rogers,our phone with bell canada and our internet with yet another provider..then i consolodated them all under one provider and am now saving 100 a month...so that is half of it right there

10:01 am

welki

who'd you sign up with?

10:01 am

m9f9l

I'd notice if all of a sudden we had no money for groceries,LOL... cause that's what would have to happen here!LOL

10:01 am

m9f9l

sweet!

10:02 am

crosshair

lol,you save in other ways like i said below

10:02 am

m9f9l

we don't have cable... and my phone and computer are already together.. can't do it there... ;-)

10:02 am

welki

(we do the same, crossy ... shaw, telus, rogers)

10:02 am

crosshair

no coffee and muffin every moring from tim hortons..that saves an incredible $540.00 a year!

10:03 am

m9f9l

I don't drink coffee..and I don't eat out. Shoot!

10:03 am

m9f9l

I don't buy prepared foods either. dang it!

10:03 am

dfmchfhf

m9, we're in the same position! :oO We're missing out on all these savings!

10:03 am

m9f9l

LOL..sure are!

10:04 am

crosshair

so you add up the savings of 100 per month on my cable/phone /net and add in the 540 a year on not doing timmies

10:04 am

welki

who'd you consolidate all your accounts with, crossy?

10:04 am

crosshair

10:16 am

crosshair

and without starving the family lol

10:17 am

m9f9l

we're about refinance the house.. which will save us almost 200 a month.. but that just means we won't be falling behind as much each month!LOL

10:19 am

m9f9l

we've been very fortunate (if you can call it that) to have gotten money from people dying a few times in the past.. but that's not a renewable resource!

10:20 am

crosshair

lol,not really

10:20 am

MollyL

I would consider making laundry soap if I had a big family. I don't, so it seems too messy and time consuming.

10:20 am

m9f9l

unless you're a "black widow" I suppose....

10:20 am

crosshair

crossy checks to make sure he is not related in some way to m9...:)...whew! i will not have to check my car brakes every morning

10:21 am

m9f9l

it's not messy at all! At least I don't find it to be so.. and I love it that I have to do it so infrequently!!! it lasts such a long time!

10:21 am

crosshair

yes,was looking this over,cannot spend my life in the kitchen boiling up shampoo and soap all the time either

10:21 am

m9f9l

LOL!

10:22 am

dfmchfhf

10:31 am

m9f9l

10:31 am

dfmchfhf

ar5/12 palm e.g. Betel palm

10:32 am

dfmchfhf

ar5/10 unit of weight (pl.) <== weird plural

10:33 am

varumba

10:33 am

m9f9l

ra not short?

10:34 am

m9f9l

oops. ar not short

10:34 am

m9f9l

I just completed the ra's.

10:34 am

m9f9l

bingo! middle column

10:34 am

varumba

the only word that comes to my mind for not short is long, or tall... and not in the grid......

10:35 am

varumba

lol m9, wd

10:35 am

m9f9l

make one of those even shorter..LOL

10:36 am

m9f9l

ar shorter not short..

10:36 am

varumba

ok, i'm absolutely sure that i typed ar5/10 3 times, and it did not take it

10:36 am

varumba

reading your reply m9, i tried again and it took it!

10:36 am

varumba

am certain i did not mistype it.... mmmmmm

10:37 am

m9f9l

I've had that happen to me before too

10:37 am

dfmchfhf

short? o.o

10:38 am

varumba

just monkeyed the other one, was looking for somethign sounding vaguely like a female name ;) tx m9

10:38 am

varumba

now to the spear thrower.....

10:38 am

m9f9l

probably aztecan or something...

10:42 am

dfmchfhf

at6/18 (cryptic:) spear thrower doubles Aztec god tail (6)

10:43 am

m9f9l

nice one dfm

10:43 am

varumba

oh i know the aztec god tail i know it! but can't think of the name right now...

10:43 am

varumba

ok, is it a vowel or a cons after the t?

10:43 am

m9f9l

que....

10:44 am

m9f9l

con

10:44 am

varumba

oh wow found it!

10:45 am

m9f9l

yay

10:45 am

varumba

gonna have to look that up later on to find out how to even pronounce it!!

10:45 am

varumba

ty ty :)

10:45 am

dfmchfhf

hmm, I think it would be more cryptic if I just said "Aztec snake tail" instead of "Aztec god tail".

10:46 am

varumba

thing is, i could only think of it in French.... and not even the real name, but the name used in a French film years ago, lolol

10:47 am

m9f9l

I had a friend that raised axolotls.. I used to bug her by saying "how's the little amoxicillins??"

10:47 am

dfmchfhf

Your flag is totally not the French flag! :oP

10:47 am

varumba

no, causei live in the UK

10:48 am

varumba

like Ruby has the french flag on, even though she is american

10:48 am

dfmchfhf

yeah I know hence the ":oP"

10:49 am

varumba

lol m9

10:49 am

dfmchfhf

ooh, var, the question I was asking yesterday... the phoneme /j/ sounds like the "y" in "yes" in English ;oP

10:49 am

varumba

yes, i realised that.... it would only be the combination of hia in french .... basically ia... we don't have 1 letter that does that sound

10:50 am

dfmchfhf

the "j" sound is /dÊ’/

10:50 am

varumba

ok, am sure the ca6/27 has the same start as ca8/50...... am i right? i can't find the right combination again....

10:51 am

dfmchfhf

ca6/27 in fact does *not* :oO

10:51 am

varumba

lol, not it's not, just found another combination that works ;)

10:51 am

dfmchfhf

ca6/27 toward the tail (opp. cranial)

10:51 am

dfmchfhf

oh you got it :o)

10:51 am

varumba

yep, just realised there was a u there that could be used ;)

10:53 am

dfmchfhf

oh hey, French *does* have /j/... hier = /i.jÉ›r/ :oO (but it's not associated with a letter)

10:54 am

varumba

as i said

11:01 am

periwinkle

11:06 am

varumba

they are in alphabetical order indeed , in the list

11:06 am

dfmchfhf

the WHAT of Noah? ;oP it's a 'k' not 'ch', var

11:07 am

varumba

well jeff understood me, all that matters

11:07 am

varumba

i believe it is that spelling in brit english

11:09 am

dfmchfhf

nope, -ch doesn't (usually) float

11:09 am

varumba

well it is used in this country - but i'm sure you know better

11:09 am

dfmchfhf

-k is the floaty one... and the initial letter is capitalised too o.o

11:10 am

varumba

good thing we use ** then for missing letters

11:16 am

brid

everytime i look at this board i see the word "jongler"

11:16 am

varumba

brid!! helloooo

11:17 am

brid

hiya var

11:17 am

dfmchfhf

"jongler"? o.0

11:17 am

brid

it's not there, i just see it. think it should be there. rearrange the letters to make it there.

11:17 am

varumba

go on brid, get that board right ;)

11:18 am

varumba

i meant * make it right ;)

11:18 am

brid

lol. then jongleur could be there too. see. it would be good.

11:18 am

brid

but, uh, that's not what you do.

11:18 am

brid

you make words based on how the letters actually are...not how your brain thinks they should be.

11:19 am

varumba

i believe they call it "phantom' here.... when you keep on seeing a word that's not there

11:19 am

brid

yep

11:20 am

dfmchfhf

my phantoms today are "catalogue" and "curare"

11:22 am

11:34 am

m9f9l

ohhh.. what do you mean math?

11:38 am

varumba

guys, i can't find the first na4/5 for my life.... any1 has it?

11:41 am

cgw8

Math class. And the teacher isn't here so I get to work on this a little more. xD

11:41 am

dfmchfhf

math is awesome :o(

11:41 am

dfmchfhf

<-- CS/Math major

11:41 am

But I'm taking pre-calc and it sucks. D:

11:42 am

nm finally found it

11:42 am

m9f9l

<--- math tutor..

11:43 am

dfmchfhf

ooh thanks var :o)

11:43 am

m9f9l

well if you're ever stuck.. just ask here!LOL

11:43 am

cgw8

xD

11:43 am

dfmchfhf

<-- took advanced calc, so unless you want to lose your sanity, don't ask here!

11:43 am

m9f9l

dfm and I will straighten you out.LOL

11:44 am

m9f9l

dfm... way to not get my back!LOL

11:44 am

cgw8

Hahaha

11:44 am

m9f9l

used to grade/tutor multivariable calc.. diffy q

11:44 am

dfmchfhf

But I don't want to drive someone insane! Do:

11:44 am

m9f9l

but I can totally help with the precalc stuff...

11:44 am

cgw8

Ugh, I would never be able to tutor or major in math.

11:44 am

dfmchfhf

see, in my very first calc course, we covered stuff up to and including Banach algebras o.0

11:45 am

dfmchfhf

although not in very much detail...

11:45 am

cgw8

Aaaand... I don't know what that is. :D

11:45 am

varumba

lol

11:46 am

dfmchfhf

you're LUCKY you don't have to think about convergence theorems whenever you look a graph!

11:46 am

cgw8

xD

11:47 am

dfmchfhf

And I think the function f(x) := piecewise ( 1 if x is rational, 0 if x is irrational ) is forever stuck in my head...

11:47 am

cgw8

Lolol nice

11:47 am

dfmchfhf

as is
f(x) := piecewise ( 1/n if x can be written in lowest terms as m/n, 0 otherwise)
(which is an AWESOME function by the way)

11:47 am

cgw8

How can a function be awesome? D:

11:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

MATH GEEKS!!!!

11:48 am

varumba

lol hi kap

11:48 am

dfmchfhf

when you analyse it there are infinitely many points where the function is equal to 1 between 0 and 1, but the area under the curve is 0 :oO

11:49 am

dfmchfhf

"curve"

11:49 am

cgw8

...Oh. That's...uh...pretty awesome.

11:49 am

m9f9l

ohhh. cool!

11:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

0!

11:49 am

dfmchfhf

and the second function, the limit at every point is 0.

11:50 am

cgw8

I think my head is gonna explode. All this talk of math and my class hasn't even started yet. D:

5:07 pm

Jellen

I like A and B, but I'm conservative...

5:08 pm

jmcnrick

MollyL

The gold represents your shiny, wonderful self. I love it.

5:20 pm

jmcnrick

what a sweet thing to say molly

5:21 pm

MollyL

It's true. I think the more effervescent our clothing is, the more our true self shines. Which is why I have a lot of "sparkly" tops and shoes. I love sparkly.

5:22 pm

Roses6

Hello stid. How are you?

6:50 pm

stidmama

not bad, rose. tired, but okay.

6:50 pm

stidmama

yourself?

6:51 pm

Nef

Hi Everybody. How are you all tonight?

6:52 pm

Roses6

winding down after a long week. Its raining, so I've got a good excuse to curl up on the couch with tea and the grid.

6:52 pm

Bugsaw

Hi everyone. I have been checking jmc's outfits. I think I am no help. My favourites are A, C or H

6:53 pm

stidmama

mmm. tea.

6:53 pm

stidmama

hey nef! hi bugs!

6:54 pm

Roses6

herb tea.

6:54 pm

stidmama

tea sounds really really good

6:54 pm

Roses6

can't do black tea after noon any more. not if i want to sleep.

6:54 pm

jmcnrick

make some for me

6:54 pm

Bugsaw

I love a cup of tea while looking for words

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

english breakfast please

6:55 pm

stidmama

jmc!!! ((hugs)) I like A a lot.

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

good to know stiddie

6:55 pm

Nef

Tea does sound good. I just found jmc's fashion show. I, too, like A,C and H

6:55 pm

Roses6

bringing the water to a boil. Lots so there's some for everyone. a biiiig pot!

6:55 pm

stidmama

I also like the blue in J

6:56 pm

jmcnrick

I guess I am going to have to read the days archives to count the votes

6:56 pm

stidmama

*holds out dainty teacup*

6:56 pm

jmcnrick

my only worry with A is that it may be too sparkly

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

*holds out huge cup*

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

can't believe i am still at the office :-(

6:57 pm

stidmama

why still at office?

6:57 pm

Nef

One you in bright colors, jmc; but maybe if you had you hair and make-up on it makes a difference in what colors work best for you

6:57 pm

cosdem

hello hello hello

6:58 pm

Roses6

Just took a look jmc. IMHO definitely H or B for an interview. Good luck!

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

I had a meeting that included *ahem* white house staff that took all morning, then met with a student, then went to the mall for a video shot for the history channell then came back to office to write 4 emails that each took about 1/2 hours

6:59 pm

jmcnrick

make-up?

6:59 pm

Nef

oh, MAN! My spelling and grammar suck tonight! I've been up since 4 AM; it shows!

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

B is good but colour on your face is a good suggestion too.

7:00 pm

jmcnrick

yeah I like the blouse in H and wore it to weddings last weekend

7:00 pm

Nef

well, jmc; a little color (lipstick or blush?) for an interview?

7:00 pm

stidmama

rofl -- jmc have you worn makeup in the last 20 years?

7:00 pm

jmcnrick

I will probably put on mascara and eyebrows

7:01 pm

Bugsaw

lipstick and blush. The 12 year old girls at makeup counters give good advice to us old hippies who need some colour but not much

7:01 pm

Nef

And B is good too; but it does need a little color (IMHO)

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

at halloween mostly stiddie

7:02 pm

jmcnrick

i could wear a lapis necklace with B

7:02 pm

jmcnrick

i do sometimes wear it to court or to some parties

7:02 pm

jmcnrick

i wear makeup in court and at parties i mean

7:03 pm

Bugsaw

then do for the interview too!

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

i was planning on mascara and eyebrows

7:04 pm

stidmama

oh~ then yes, for an interview, a bit is a good idea. BUT -- not the halloween stuff!

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

my boys used to make fun of me for having eyebrows only when i went to court or a party

7:04 pm

jmcnrick

*puts the fake blood back in the drawer*

7:04 pm

Nef

I wear makeup very rarely too; but when I do I've been told I "clean up well" (which is a compliment I guesss)

7:05 pm

Bugsaw

I have to do eyebrows everyday but never wear mascara

7:07 pm

jmcnrick

fortunately for my current job i get to wear jeans and t-shirts

7:07 pm

jmcnrick

okay I am heading home. The GIs will have to solve their own problems for a while.

7:08 pm

Nef

What is this job you are interviewing for, jmc?

7:08 pm

jmcnrick

I will be back as soon as I get home and fix something to eat--wish I had some left over jerk chicken from lunch

7:08 pm

jmcnrick

head of a national quaker organization

7:08 pm

stidmama

well, down to 41 and as much as I would love to stay and visit, I am exhausted. And mystified why my DH is not home yet.

7:09 pm

stidmama

see you-all again soon! (((Hugs and hugs)))

7:09 pm

jmcnrick

I am trying to show them I "clean up well" too.

7:09 pm

jmcnrick

bye bbl *poof*

7:09 pm

Nef

Stid, if you can take a nap or rest a few minutes; please do so

7:10 pm

stidmama

yes ma'am, nef! ((hugs)) *poof*

7:10 pm

Bugsaw

How is life treating you and your husband lately Nef?

7:12 pm

Nef

I'm exhausted lately, bugs; but DH is a walking miracle! He's out of the wheel chair and using a cane again; eyesight is better than 2 prescriptions ago, speech is clear and he's doing great (still has some memory problems, but Hey!

7:14 pm

7:40 pm

cgw8

I just started playing yesterday, you'll have to forgive my noobishness.

7:40 pm

cosdem

welcome to the babble family cgw.. i joined in september and have been here every single day

7:40 pm

cosdem

when you can.. go pro.. its worth the 14 dollars!

7:40 pm

cgw8

It's really fun. I'll definitely be on here as often as possible. :D

7:40 pm

cosdem

b/c i think in two weeks you wont be able to know how many words are in the grid

7:41 pm

cosdem

unless u go pro

7:41 pm

cgw8

What? D:

7:41 pm

cgw8

But will I still be able to see everything else? D:

7:41 pm

cosdem

yes

7:42 pm

cgw8

Hm...

7:42 pm

cosdem

u can just ask the chog how many words are in the grid and someoen whos pro will be able to let u know

7:42 pm

cosdem

a lot of people do that

7:42 pm

LeslieAnn

hang out a while before you decide, cgw. most of us decide the $ is worth it, but some stay on the free version.

7:43 pm

Dorens

but..... since we all get so much pleasure from this game and it costs so little compared to other things you do for entertainment, most of us think Dr. G-d deserves his $$

7:43 pm

cgw8

Yeah, I'll probably do that. :)

7:43 pm

cosdem

yes id do what leslie said

7:43 pm

cgw8

True. This is a pretty rad game.

7:43 pm

Dorens

and hello

7:43 pm

jessmom

don't the tile stats disappear too? I've been here so long I forget!

7:43 pm

cosdem

im not sure if you can get babble expert software if ur pro or not?

7:43 pm

cosdem

yes thats it too jess

7:44 pm

cosdem

the title stats go away too

7:44 pm

cosdem

but you have a two week period to decide

7:44 pm

LeslieAnn

you have to be expert for babble pro

7:44 pm

cgw8

You have to be expert? What's that mean?

7:44 pm

Dorens

or you have to be pro for babble expert

7:44 pm

Dorens

and you also can't be on a mac! :-(

7:44 pm

cosdem

its a software.. which puts both the grid and the lickety clues together

7:45 pm

cgw8

Ooooh

7:45 pm

cosdem

its pretty nice.. i dont have to switch websites...

7:45 pm

Dorens

and with babble expert i can finish the grid in less than half the time otherwise.... amazing! but, alas, i have a mac

7:45 pm

cgw8

Sounds pretty nice.

7:46 pm

cosdem

i have a mac and a pc

7:46 pm

car.eeyore

clue please for ho 6/24?

7:46 pm

cgw8

I haven't been able to finish today's grid and I couldn't finish yesterday's either. I'm pretty bad at this. xD

7:46 pm

Dorens

ho + unhealthy fat

7:46 pm

car.eeyore

TY Dorens!

7:47 pm

Dorens

takes time cg... a lot of these words are absurd!

7:47 pm

cosdem

my first two grids i was not able to finish.. but since then ive finsihed every one except one and that was the 490 one on election day lol

7:47 pm

LeslieAnn

lots of people rarely finish... fun is in the hunt.

7:47 pm

cgw8

Yeah, they are. I found at least 20 of these words just by putting in random letters. xD

7:47 pm

cosdem

thas the way to do it cgw!

7:48 pm

LeslieAnn

it's called "monkeying," cgw. as in, a thousand monkeys typing on a thousand typewriters will eventually write the works of shakespeare... or get all the babble words

7:48 pm

cosdem

a fish is when someone clues u a word that is pretty obvious in the grid

7:48 pm

cgw8

Oooh is THAT what monkeying means. Someone told me to do that and I didn't get what they meant. xD

7:49 pm

LeslieAnn

we have our own jargon ;)

7:49 pm

cgw8

Yeah, man, it's like your own language. xD

7:49 pm

cosdem

and when all else fails..go to www.morewords.com

7:49 pm

cgw8

Yeah I was using that earlier!

7:50 pm

cgw8

To try and find...a cu word I think.

7:50 pm

cgw8

cu6, maybe?

7:50 pm

cosdem

lol yeah i have it bookmarked

7:50 pm

cgw8

Lol it was really handy.

7:50 pm

Dorens

took me a while to learn about morewords... and it really is a lifesaver, when all else fails

7:50 pm

cosdem

7:51 pm

Dorens

7:51 pm

10:57 pm

dfmchfhf

(I did yesterday and Babble needed to remind me that "ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg..." is not a word. I think it was two hours' worth of my finger on the button, and for some reason I decided that "enter" was more apt to clearing the box than "delete"...
