good morning babblers!!! and when are we going to get a nice BIG grid????
4:51 am
Dachef
the last 2 weeks we haven't gone above 150, most of the time barely scraping the 100 mark. I reckon Dr G. isn't shaking the box properly.
5:17 am
Trifioso
good morning friends. quick little number today!
5:23 am
MollyL
Not sure I get the number of small grids. The more small grids, the less people are here. Not very good for the site.
5:23 am
mummy
hello, can anyone clue the be5/18 please, that's if there is anyone out there!!!
5:23 am
Trifioso
I had said something months ago about how, eventually, dr god is sure to run out of grids, and people laughed at me and were all "no, that could never happen!" um. yeah.
5:24 am
Trifioso
and hello molly!
5:24 am
Trifioso
mummy, I don't have it yet....
5:24 am
lizmac
Mummy, biblical term.
5:24 am
Dachef
be5/18 - be + to fetch.
5:25 am
Trifioso
would anyone mind if dr god reran a grid? I am not sure I would even notice
5:25 am
MollyL
Ah, Liz beat me to it with the Biblical reference.
5:25 am
mummy
thanks dachef, fireworks. can go and get dressed now and do something with the rest of the day!
5:25 am
MollyL
Trif, I am quite sure with all the brainiacs here, that someone with a photographic memory would remember.
5:26 am
Trifioso
huzzah for mummy!!!
5:26 am
Dachef
theoretically, you can never actually 'run out' of grids, as they are generated randomly, and there are thousands of possible permutations. However, this number is not infinite and inevitably there will be a repeat of a grid sooner or later.
5:26 am
Trifioso
yes, molly, I suppose you are right
5:26 am
mummy
ty all, this is the third gri I have completed this year, something of a record for me, I have been playing for years and only ever complete once in a blue moon!
5:27 am
Trifioso
i agree, dachef, but a fair number would be useless as grids - no vowels, all one letter, no consonants, 11 qs, etc
5:38 am
MollyL
Ah, nothing like fresh squeezed orange/grapefruit juice to start your day off with a bounce.
5:46 am
lil*monkey
Trifi , I just got a kick out of your FB post LOL
5:47 am
Trifioso
thanks lil. gawd it was a right old scene, though
5:47 am
lil*monkey
Maybe she needs to watch a movie like Precious, to get a little perspective.... or Mommie Dearest
5:48 am
Trifioso
um, she's 11, with some pretty significant delays, so precious is out, but yeah, maybe mommie dearest, or angelas ashes...
5:49 am
lil*monkey
sorry, Trifi, i was kidding about the movie
5:49 am
Trifioso
no, its fine! I am kidding too. would never make anyone watch angelas ashes!
5:50 am
Trifioso
read the book, yes, watch that movie? nope
5:51 am
lil*monkey
no, it's too harsh
5:51 am
Trifioso
anyway, it was pretty funny to hear her. You have to laugh, right?
5:52 am
Trifioso
I remember crying for a fair amount of time when I was little, because my poor auntie made summer squash for dinner. I was NOT happy
5:52 am
lil*monkey
yes ! because it's so riduculous! i'm sure she will laugh too, when she's 30 or so
5:52 am
lil*monkey
i usually had a crying tantrum any night there was chipped beef for dinner
5:53 am
Trifioso
ugh! I think I still might....
5:53 am
lil*monkey
that white flour gravy is particularly disgusting to me
5:54 am
lil*monkey
have anyone in the chog read the book, "Room" ???? very strange
5:54 am
Trifioso
gads, remember when the ability to make white sauce was considered the height of culinary excellence?
5:55 am
lil*monkey
i'm reading it now, it's the story of a woman who was abducted and hidden in a room for approx 6 years, the story is told from the point of view of her 5 year old son who was born "in captivity"
5:55 am
lil*monkey
it's very strange, i'm close to the end now
5:56 am
Trifioso
oh, wait, I have heard of that! yes, it is supposed to be quite challenging to read
5:56 am
zoozzoom
Emma Donoghue?
5:56 am
lil*monkey
yes, zoozo
5:56 am
Trifioso
I wonder if it was inspired by the story of that woman who was held prisoner for all those years in, uh....europe somewhere?
5:56 am
MollyL
I'm trying to stay away from creepy stuff like that right now.
5:56 am
lil*monkey
i ahven't finished it yet
5:56 am
lil*monkey
yes Molly, that's the word, it's CREEPY
5:57 am
Trifioso
oh, I just looked outside, and the sky is an amazing shade of bright pink, lovely against the black trees and white snow
5:57 am
lil*monkey
nice, Trifi! post a pic!
5:57 am
Trifioso
was just thinking - I don't think it would photograph correctly
5:58 am
MollyL
I've had enough creepy stuff go on in real life, I don't need books or movies like that, just at the moment.
5:58 am
Trifioso
the color is really pretty, but tenuous
5:58 am
lil*monkey
i agree Moly... the next book I read will be something fun
5:59 am
lil*monkey
maybe i'll re-read one of the Harry Potters
5:59 am
Trifioso
for some brain candy I can highly recommend any of the "shopaholic" books by Sophie Kinsella. they are really pretty funny
5:59 am
lil*monkey
my word for Babblers is in the chog! Hello my pe4 s
5:59 am
lil*monkey
oh thanks Trifi
6:01 am
Trifioso
okay, i have hit the "bee in the window" phase of babbling.....entering the same words over and over, thinking they will work this time, this time, this time
6:01 am
MollyL
Bzzzz...SMASH....Bzzzz....SMASH....Bzz
zzz...SMASH
6:01 am
lil*monkey
i'm exactly halfway now
6:01 am
Trifioso
yeah, thats about how much fun it is, too
6:02 am
MollyL
Get crackin' Lil. You have toenails to be painted, shoes to buy, lunch to be eaten. What a day!
6:02 am
Trifioso
poor tertiare got her heart BROKEN for the first time yesterday, and she has a swim meet first thing this morning, which I am hoping will be a good distraction.
6:02 am
Trifioso
the little puke dumped via text message, too
6:03 am
lil*monkey
i know! after my rendez vous with littlebit, i'm driving over to my pal Woody's house to watch football at 4:30, and i'm bringing a pizza
6:03 am
lil*monkey
oh that sucks, Trifi! poor tert
6:04 am
MollyL
People who break up that way are very cold hearted.
6:04 am
Trifioso
it's the first of many, lil.....the high school dramz is well underway
6:04 am
MollyL
And chickenshit.
6:04 am
Trifioso
I am trying to be objective...he is just as young as she is, so he is not exactly smooth
6:04 am
MollyL
Lil, sounds like you have an A+ day. Have fun!
6:05 am
lil*monkey
thanks Molly! but first, I'm going jogging... in about 20 mins when it's a little lighter
6:05 am
MollyL
You are kind Trif. If I ever found out that one of my sons broke up with a girl that way, I would light into them like the Irish bitch from hell I can be about such things.
6:05 am
Trifioso
wow lil, I am tired just reading about your day!
6:06 am
Trifioso
if he was my son, I would. I am taking care of her, and hopefully his mom is lighting into him
6:06 am
lil*monkey
LOL trifi... that's just how I roll. I usually cram a lot into the weekends.
6:06 am
MollyL
Lil is The Energizer Bunny.
6:06 am
lil*monkey
Energizer Monkey!
6:06 am
Trifioso
they were "going out" for over a year, so, yes, a face to face meeting would have definitely been the way to go. in middle school/high school terms, that's at least one reincarnation with the same mate
6:07 am
lil*monkey
wow that's really cold , trifi! After a year of dating, I would expect more than a text msg
6:08 am
Trifioso
yeah, well. boys are idiots, and they breed em that way
6:08 am
MollyL
Breaking up via text or email is the DOWN side of the cyber generation.
6:08 am
lil*monkey
grown men are idiots too, we can attest to that
6:09 am
gramma
G'morning. Could somebody work the bo6 into their conversation.
6:09 am
MollyL
It's like this ladies. We all start out female. Just that lovely X-chromosome. Then the Y-chromo comes and pollutes what was perfect to begin with.
6:09 am
MollyL
Yes Gramma, Little Bo....has lost her sheep.
6:10 am
lil*monkey
seems like the addition of the Y chromosome equals loss of brain cells
6:11 am
MollyL
Gramma, after I found out that weewee is an acceptable Babble word, anything goes.

tomorrow there will be a monster grid

yes, carlee, you will zip through
6:49 am

Hope so, Annie.
6:49 am

no..there wont...well..maybe...deepends...does dr god assume women dont want to watch the jets patriot game...or...
6:49 am
Anniebrook
I predict a grid over 300 words
6:50 am
zoozzoom
How is Tunisia, Carlee?
6:50 am
carleekat
i predict a grid of about 100-120
6:51 am
carleekat
its....busy :) i havent checked the news...but its about time the people there do something on their own rather then having someone else do it for them
6:51 am
rubyfoo
this is crazy for a saturday, we have to send Dr. God a calendar!
6:51 am

there 2 big playoff football games today in nfl...me thinks... dr god made it quick

Hello, Ruby :-)
6:52 am

i just got here too ruby..debating..do..not do... very torn
6:52 am
rubyfoo
{{zzoozz}}
6:52 am
carleekat
i hate these little ones...
6:53 am
rubyfoo
Tunisia is one of those "who cares" places. If the two sides kill each other....yay!
6:53 am
MollyL
Yeah about football, but I would guess the majority of players here do not watch American football.
6:53 am
zoozzoom
It is not a hard grid, Carlee..compared to other small grids.
6:54 am
carleekat
it might tho serve as example for all the other ME countries who live in similar contitions...
6:54 am
rubyfoo
we don't get American football, only soccer (which I prefer). There is the "Eddy Show" where this guy who speaks worse French than me, calls the Monday night games.
6:54 am
carleekat
no...i really dont like little grids...its like..oh ..here have a bite of this amazing cheesecake..oh..you liked it.tooo bad..no more left
6:54 am
MollyL
What I wonder is this. A bunch of small grids in a row means less people on this site. That can't be good for business.
6:55 am
rubyfoo
molly, do you think that's what it means or is it random, like the rest?
6:55 am
carleekat
the mess in iraq would never have happened if iraqis did what the tunisians did but against saddam...
6:56 am
MollyL
Could be random Ruby. But this many small ones in a row doesn't seem random to me.
6:56 am
carleekat
or..maybe it is good for business...more people come on..and try a little grid....get sucked in...then once paid...get wallopped
6:56 am
rubyfoo
I like the big ones with the in, en, re, builders
6:56 am
rubyfoo
at least I reach half!
6:56 am
carleekat
or DR god needs the servers lighter..less traffic and memory for setting up new program
6:57 am
carleekat
which is likely the actual reason
6:58 am
carleekat
we know how slow it gets during a monster grid... so many on..for so long... and huge numbers of words...
6:59 am
rubyfoo
you are probably right, carlee
7:00 am
carleekat
ok..killed the chog on that one..anyone have any good tasty meals planned for the weekend..i am so in a food rut am begging borrowing and stealing new recipes like mad
7:00 am
rubyfoo
interested in couscous, carlee? I made a brilliant one on Wednesday which we're still eating
7:01 am
MollyL
When Dr. God needs to work on the server, he's going to have to shut this place down for a while. That's the only way it works. The amount of traffic here doesn't make any difference. Of this I know, I run message boards.
7:01 am
rubyfoo
that Molly is so smart!!!!
7:01 am
carleekat
kids dont like it
7:02 am
carleekat
okay molls... then..i am back to the football theory :)

No Ruby, my husband was smart. He just lent some of that to me.
7:04 am

9:10 am
scouser

9:10 am
Yvo

9:11 am
Norma
I can't count looked at the wrong one only got 27 still got 31 to go :o(
9:11 am
welki
hi, folks .. a week of shorty grids!
9:11 am
Norma
Horrible grid today welki ....
9:12 am
welki
considering that the vowels are one O and the rest E's .. yep, i think it might be a little stinker
9:13 am
welki
and no vowels in bottom two rows! i should fortify my coffee :)
9:14 am
scouser
In fact, to4,5 sums up quite a number of the other words.
9:15 am
scouser
re the bottom row - not many of the words reach down into it.
9:18 am
carleekat
ok..new router works
9:18 am
scouser
I make it seven words reach the bottom row.
9:19 am
welki
hi carlee...must be something in the way the planets are aligned. you're the second or third person this week with router issues
9:19 am
Norma
Well done carlee I have had a new router sitting next to the computer for about a week now haven't had the courage to try it ... but need to be brave soon
9:19 am
rururocks

9:20 am
welki

9:20 am

9:21 am
72 Temple Owl

9:22 am
scouser
Hi Temple Owl - you want clues? or are you gritting your teeth?
9:22 am
carleekat
must be...i used to get fab signal in my bedroom..then..nothing...we had to be sitting beside the old router ( 2 month old) in order to get signal...stupid internet
9:23 am
ShadowHyrst
that em 4/8 sure is a strange one
9:23 am
scouser
Yes Shadow. That used to be initials.
9:24 am
72 Temple Owl
a clue for the em 4 ould be nice
9:25 am
ShadowHyrst
I had to monkey it, but I think it has something to do with a pint
9:26 am
rururocks
I thought it was an abbreviation for swear words
9:26 am
scouser
Temple : think of how you say the name of the letter f in the plural. Then change first consonant.
9:27 am
carleekat
or a sound you might make when trying to lift something obscenely too heavy to lift
9:27 am
scouser
Those of you who did physics at school might remember it as initials. I did.
9:27 am
rururocks
like my mother in law
9:28 am

EspritdJean
christopher
10:28 am
JBV
very frightening - and if you're praying, please send up a prayer for my nephew who is a police officer in Santa Fe - even younger, only 24 years old

it's probably online at nj.com
10:28 am
jmcnrick
bless them for being there for the community
10:29 am

exactly deeha
11:13 am
wildcat17
and it's a fast one too
11:13 am
jmcnrick
hi wild
11:13 am
Scrabbler
Dr God should add this to his Babble program: Weekend grids must be > 150 words.
11:13 am
jmcnrick
i think that is a good idea!
11:14 am
wildcat17
I'll 2nd that
11:14 am
wildcat17
and ban words like bo6
11:14 am
jmcnrick
but the problem is the weekend doesn't exactly overlap the same in all parts of the grid
11:14 am
Scrabbler
Also: no grid can be < 100 words.
11:14 am
wildcat17
it'll be close enough
11:14 am
Scrabbler
Hm, boppee doesn't work.
11:14 am
Deeha
well I am off to look for other pasttimes - unless anyone wants a clue??
11:14 am

11:34 am
jmcnrick
scrabs are you bunnies on bunspace?
11:34 am
MollyL
I object to em4/8. I strenuously object. It's an abbreviation.
11:34 am
Mary
ty Scrabbler, weird word
11:34 am
Scrabbler
Molly, TY for reminding me of em4. I have seen it here before.
11:34 am
wildcat17
that's the only word you're objecting to?
11:35 am
jmcnrick
what is it an abbreviation for?
11:35 am
Scrabbler
It is a unit of measurement, like a tesla, amp, erg, joule
11:35 am
jmcnrick
personally i object to bo6
11:35 am
wildcat17
electromagnetic frequency I think
11:35 am
Scrabbler
ElectroMagnetic Force
11:35 am
MollyL
No, not the only one. Just the one I'm objecting to at the moment.
11:35 am
Scrabbler
Or frequency or field???
11:35 am
Scrabbler
Any sm words?
11:36 am

11:39 am
jmcnrick
bunspace.com
11:40 am
wildcat17
same as the st4 before it but extend with another consonant and vowel
11:40 am
fuzzybunny
it is a rather retro suit
11:40 am
jmcnrick
double letters cw
11:41 am
frogface
if anyone is interested the em4 is officially defined as not only an abbreviation but the first three letters are capitals and the last isnt - so it is not an actual word but either an abbreviation or an acronym. I thank you xxx
11:41 am
jmcnrick
those of us who are rotund need more coverage
11:41 am
Scrabbler
JM, TY for telling me about Bunspace. I just registered and will await an e-mail so I can activate my account. Then I will get my 4 bunnies on there.

11:46 am
Scrabbler
My oldest, tiniest bunny, Sebastian, almost 8 1/2, jumped in bed with me nightly until 13 mo ago. I suspect arthritis may be the issue although he runs around like a nut still.
11:47 am
jmcnrick
I will po** something on my profile sometime in september if not before
11:47 am
jmcnrick
sleep wild?
11:47 am
cwestexan
ok! sounds great!
11:47 am
fuzzybunny
You could make him a ramp to jump up to get on the bed, I had to do that for an old cat of mine
11:47 am
wildcat17
that's a tempting idea jmc
11:48 am
jmcnrick
my friends put a step stool next to the bed so the jump was not as high-- like a step to the bed
11:48 am
Scrabbler
I have considered that, fuzzy. I miss having him near me. I used to wake up in the night and find him next to my head.
11:48 am
jmcnrick
that is what i would do if i didn't have work for the year end stuff that i need to do
11:48 am
fuzzybunny
What we don't do for our pet friends

6:58 pm
EvaNadine

6:58 pm
Mom

6:59 pm

steelers are moving on.
UGH.
6:59 pm
EvaNadine
i seriously HATE roethlisberger.
7:00 pm
MollyL
I'm thinking the Falcons are going all the way this year. They are hot.
7:00 pm
cybernan
can't believe that the shepherdess is actually a word!
7:00 pm
MollyL
Mom, I wish I were as organized as you.
7:00 pm
Mom
isn't that something, Nan!
7:01 pm
Mom
Oh Molly, I am attempting to get organized
7:01 pm
EvaNadine
i get into that mentality whenever i move.
id rather throw things out than pack them up, take them somewhere else, unpack them, and find a place to put them.
7:01 pm
Mom
but each time I get a handle on it, life gets in the way
7:02 pm
MollyL
I have issues with bo6 being a "real" word. Not as many issues as I have with em 4/8 though.
7:02 pm
Mom
Eva, I hope you don't want to move often
7:03 pm
MollyL
The Salvation Army is my best friend when I move.
7:03 pm
Mom
Goodwill is mine and our library
7:04 pm
EvaNadine
i have moved 3 times in the last 4 years.
we are signing a new 1-year lease at this place, and hopefully after that we will be buying something + not moving for a while after that!
7:04 pm
EvaNadine
mom, im a goodwill fan too.
salvation army gives money to anti-gay groups, and i have a problem with that.
7:04 pm
MollyL
Damn Eva. It's hardly worth unpacking when you move that much.
7:05 pm
Mom
Our Salvation Army doesn't take donations here, except money
7:05 pm
Mom
you will be in place for at least a year then
7:05 pm
MollyL
I didn't know that about The Salvation Army.
7:06 pm
EvaNadine
i agree molly. one of those moves was unplanned -- i had just moved in with chris + a few months later, the landlord decided to sell the house. less than 6 months and i was moving again!
7:07 pm
MollyL
That happened in the last two rentals I was in (landlord decided to sell). After the second time, I bought my condo.
7:08 pm
cybernan
*!* ta da *!*
7:08 pm
Mom
Congratulations Cybernan!!!
7:08 pm
Jellen
Hooray for nan!!!
7:08 pm
EvaNadine
i am definitely hoping to buy something. its just a matter of having the money and finding a house we like in an area we want to live in. we are pretty picky, so we shall see.
7:08 pm
cybernan
off to mmake supper
7:08 pm
MollyL
!!!!!!!!!!!Nan!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:09 pm
Mom
When we moved 2 years ago, the Commonwealth paid to have movers pack us and unpack us. What a blessing that was
7:09 pm
Mom
We lost our house to a highway project.
7:09 pm
MollyL
If I'm not being too nosey Eva, how come you don't live in the house you own?
7:11 pm
EvaNadine
its all the way out in crofton. i work in DC and hubby works in bethesda. he really doesnt wanna move out to crofton, and frankly, i really love this area!
7:12 pm
MollyL
I don't blame you. I am not a "long commuter".
7:13 pm
EvaNadine
my commute is still an hour door-to-door. but its a much more pleasant hour than riding the green line. the people on the green line are... questionable.
7:13 pm
Mom
could you sell the house in Crofton?
7:14 pm
EvaNadine
mom, yes, i could. but i rent it out and cover my expenses, so its not something i need to do yet.
if we decide selling the house is something we need to do for a deposit on a house, then we will do that.
7:15 pm
Mom
so that will be an option when it comes time to look for a house then
7:16 pm
EvaNadine
yup. not necessary, but an option!
7:17 pm
Mom
If I can't be of any more help, I'll go get a bath and call it a night
7:17 pm
EvaNadine
enjoy, mom. gnite!
7:17 pm
Mom
good night Eva, pleasant dreams
7:18 pm
Mom
Good night Molly, where ever you are.
