12:20 am

jillibus

bye cos -- is it a stinky grid?

12:20 am

gremlinn

it's boring

12:20 am

negativeneil

No, actually.

12:20 am

negativeneil

Yeah, that it was.

12:21 am

gremlinn

nothing over 7 - I hate it when it's like that

12:21 am

negativeneil

Agreed.

12:21 am

jillibus

Neazle has finished already as usual?

12:21 am

negativeneil

Neazle never tells. :P

12:21 am

negativeneil

[new policy]

12:21 am

jillibus

Well, I don't like long words, so there.

12:22 am

negativeneil

Geez Laura... look what you started?!

12:22 am

negativeneil

Ok fine... give them all to us.

12:22 am

jillibus

"that it was" is a dead giveaway

12:22 am

negativeneil

Oh, that could just mean I'm near the end.

12:22 am

Fauxmage

What did I do?

12:23 am

jillibus

well, I'm just at the beginning -- had to get an angel icon

12:23 am

jillibus

You did Neazele, Laura

12:23 am

negativeneil

But yeah, it's small and not too difficult. I really want a nice big 400+ word grid with a lot of nice long words in it.

12:23 am

negativeneil

You've started something Laura. Now jilli calls me that all the time.

12:24 am

Fauxmage

:P

12:24 am

jillibus

I think I'll skip that one if it arrives, lol!

12:24 am

negativeneil

Oh it never does... as much as I keep hoping.

12:25 am

jillibus

we've had a couple over 500 as I recall

12:25 am

cybernan

early start tomorrow -- good night everyone :)

12:25 am

negativeneil

Laura even called me Neazele? Geez, I can just hear my bubbe and zayde calling me that now. :P

12:25 am

jillibus

gnight nan -- golfing?

12:26 am

negativeneil

Uh, hi and goodnight then, nan.

12:26 am

jillibus

sorry stuck an extra e in there, but Neazele is cute too.

12:26 am

negativeneil

Oh that's how they'd say it.

12:27 am

vanillaslice

someone pls give me the stats for the bottom corner r thx

12:27 am

negativeneil

It's an endearment to say someone's name like that.

12:27 am

gremlinn

ri 4/5, ri6/27

12:27 am

negativeneil

ri6,27

12:27 am

negativeneil

12:27 am

negativeneil

Oh, nm.

12:27 am

vanillaslice

thx I had the 6

12:28 am

Fauxmage

Oh is it?

12:28 am

negativeneil

Yes.

12:28 am

dfmchfhf

2 left -- A@(3,1), D@(5,4)...

12:28 am

negativeneil

If you can... some names don't lend themselves to that very well.

12:29 am

Fauxmage

No.

12:29 am

negativeneil

A@ and D@ ? Never saw those in there. :P

12:29 am

dizgrannie

di 4 and ac 4

12:29 am

jillibus

Hi dfm

12:29 am

negativeneil

I thought I had one of those fortunate names that don't... until you came up with "Neazle", Laura. So thanks. :P

12:30 am

dfmchfhf

have ac4,ac4,ar5.

12:30 am

dfmchfhf

hi jilli!

12:30 am

dfmchfhf

thanks diz, got di4 (fish!)

12:31 am

gremlinn

12:31 am

Fauxmage

Aw. :P

12:32 am

Jellen

gremlinn

mrpresident

12:32 am

gremlinn

12:32 am

negativeneil

WTG gremlinn.

12:32 am

jillibus

mmm, I like finding words like tu6/30

12:32 am

negativeneil

And hi mrp. :)

12:32 am

Jellen

Hooray for gremlinn!

12:32 am

dfmchfhf

thanks grem! fireworks here as well :o)

12:32 am

dfmchfhf

12:32 am

jillibus

12:33 am

mrpresident

hi all :)
hi neil :))

12:33 am

mrpresident

hi dfm :)

12:33 am

gremlinn

if you were missing the same ar5 as I was, that was my next-to-last

12:33 am

jillibus

and hi mrp and jellen

12:33 am

Jellen

Well done, dfmchfhf!

12:33 am

mrpresident

hi jilli! :)

12:33 am

mrpresident

hi jell :)

12:33 am

gremlinn

hi jelli

12:33 am

negativeneil

Yes, that was one of my first... I almost thought it was a phantom for a brief moment then went, oh hey... that works!

12:34 am

negativeneil

A little twisty.

12:34 am

vanillaslice

I'll have to wait for lickety

12:34 am

jillibus

yes, but nice

12:34 am

negativeneil

Oh well done, dfmchfhf!

12:35 am

gremlinn

phantom videologue but not in Enable

12:35 am

jillibus

oh -- mised your FW, grem -- wd too!

12:36 am

jillibus

*missed

12:36 am

gremlinn

ty

12:36 am

gremlinn

not sure if it even is a word...but ideologue anyway

12:37 am

negativeneil

Not sure either but "videolog" may be... not sure about that being all one word though.

12:37 am

jillibus

boohoo -- I wanted eulogied but Enable didn't

12:37 am

negativeneil

Yes, I was seeing that as a phantom too!

12:37 am

gremlinn

eulogia too

12:37 am

negativeneil

Yep.

12:38 am

negativeneil

Except the A is nowhere close enough.

12:38 am

negativeneil

Everything else is though.

12:38 am

gremlinn

well, my defintion's probably a little looser - I consider some that have just one letter off, even if it's not in the grid

12:39 am

jillibus

Is this thing full of babblets and such?

12:39 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok.

12:40 am

negativeneil

Not sure... don't know all the words that are considered "babblets".

12:40 am

dizgrannie

I think it is Jilli, have 35 left and stumped

12:40 am

gremlinn

I think it's those with a certain ratio of frequency in grid, to frequency in usage

12:40 am

negativeneil

I don't call any of them that because they're all legit words found outside of Babble... I run into them in Word Racer, Letterblox, Boggle, etc.

12:40 am

gremlinn

Like "inia", where the ratio is pretty insane

12:41 am

negativeneil

I guess, but I haven't Babbled long enough to know which those would be.

12:41 am

jillibus

ty diz -- I keep finding partial words

12:41 am

negativeneil

I see. Actually my name is too... but Enable doesn't like it. :P

12:41 am

dizgrannie

simple words like di 4 etc

12:41 am

negativeneil

My name has been in several of these grids lately.

12:42 am

jillibus

well, babblets to me are obscure words usually only found in puzzles and totally useless in conversation. But some, like "inia", are frequently popping up here and we get used to them.

12:43 am

Jellen

Could I have the stats for a U word, please?

12:43 am

negativeneil

Oh ok... well, there's the needlecase.

12:43 am

gremlinn

I don't call them "babblets" because as neil says, it's not specifically something related to Babble

12:43 am

negativeneil

ur5,12

12:43 am

negativeneil

ur7,40

12:43 am

negativeneil

ur5,12 again

12:43 am

negativeneil

GMTA, grem.

12:44 am

jillibus

well, it's nicer to call them babblets rather than ruder names which they deserve imho.

12:44 am

gremlinn

hehe

12:45 am

Jellen

Thanks, Neil.

12:45 am

Jellen

nbt

12:45 am

gremlinn

My mind always organize them by letter patterns rather than meaning, so I've never had particular difficulty finding them relative to more common words, once I know them.

12:45 am

negativeneil

Oh? Why call them rude names? The fun of this is learning some of these "strange" and uncommonly used words, isn't it? Improves one's Scrabble game and other word games. ;)

12:45 am

jillibus

wtg jellen

12:45 am

negativeneil

You're welcome Jellen.

12:46 am

Jellen

I enjoyed learning the definition of footle in the last grid...

12:46 am

jillibus

that applies to you and grem and dfm and chuggaboom and so on, neil, not to Dull Normals likeme.

12:46 am

negativeneil

Huh, jilli?

12:47 am

gremlinn

For me the tough ones are sometimes those with 3+ vowels in a row

12:48 am

jillibus

words like footle are fun, but there others like some of the obscure coins from obscure countries which just annoy me -- but that's just my problem.

12:48 am

gremlinn

toea!

12:48 am

negativeneil

You want all easy grids with only very commonly known words in them? What fun would that be? I love learning new and interesting words I can use in other word games... the more of these games and puzzles you do, the more you pick up and add to your vocabulary.

12:48 am

negativeneil

I love that word, gremlinn!

12:48 am

jillibus

yes!

12:48 am

negativeneil

I pull that out in Letterblox and my opponents accuse me of cheating, haha!

12:48 am

gremlinn

Fit as both a 3+ vowel example *and* an obscure coin example.

12:49 am

Erda

Letterblox? What is it?

12:49 am

negativeneil

Oh they accuse me of that anyway... despite the fact I'm typing from the moment the game starts until it ends. Yeah, sure... when did I have time to "cheat"?

12:49 am

hootowl

Lickety isn't up?

12:49 am

jillibus

You see, I used to prefer British cryptic crosswords because most of them use only "real" words.

12:49 am

negativeneil

It's a game on OMGPOP, Erda... word finding game. There's a link to join in my Babble profile.

12:50 am

jillibus

No, hoot.

12:50 am

negativeneil

Oh I see, jilli.

12:50 am

Erda

I'll check it out, Neil -- thanks!

12:50 am

hootowl

wow - anything wrong ?

12:50 am

gremlinn

I can make a profile list if it would help

12:50 am

negativeneil

You should, Erda... if you have a very fast typing speed?

12:51 am

grannyrose

whew...finallly found the 4th a word. *my brain hurts*

12:51 am

hootowl

please 16 to go and I want a free day tomorrow

12:51 am

negativeneil

Oh that would be a good idea, gremlinn.

12:51 am

negativeneil

You have more room in your profile than I do. ;)

12:51 am

negativeneil

Mine's kind of... uh, full.

12:52 am

jillibus

thanks grem -- that always helps

12:52 am

hootowl

you have more room than you think neil - I've put 300* words list in mine

12:52 am

vanillaslice

a4,4,5,5

12:53 am

hootowl

I think it grows to fit

12:53 am

negativeneil

I have probably several times that now, hootowl. :P Check it out.

12:53 am

negativeneil

Might keep you busy and amused for a while.

12:53 am

negativeneil

So maybe save it for after the grid, haha.

12:53 am

hootowl

you make me sound like a puppy

12:54 am

negativeneil

No! I'm making a joke because of how much I've stuffed into it already.

12:54 am

gremlinn

okay, list in my profile

12:54 am

negativeneil

And it's... well, it sure made ruru laugh.

12:55 am

jillibus

Thanks so much, grem!

12:55 am

gran

How many words today please

12:55 am

gremlinn

93

12:55 am

gran

Thanks

12:55 am

gremlinn

I had lost the regex I used before so it took a minute or two to rewrite it

12:55 am

hootowl

I'm laughing too. Read most of it before. Nice to have someone on my side!

12:56 am

hootowl

Thank you grem! I'll even forgive you for stealing my ec word!

12:56 am

negativeneil

Oh hey, good to hear the same, hootowl. :)

12:56 am

negativeneil

There are many here that are.

12:57 am

vanillaslice

mrp will need to wake lickety or I'll never finish

12:57 am

hootowl

I know - some are afraid they'll insult people and others don't want to hear us. Guess it's even

12:57 am

hootowl

brb

12:57 am

gremlinn

hehe, don't remember stealing words...

12:58 am

negativeneil

Haha, well I'm a political writer and have articles and blogs online, so I'm used to just putting my opinions right out there. I do it on Twitter too and sure, I get flamed but that's life.

12:58 am

jillibus

vanilla, grem's list will help -- put him in your "My Friends"

12:58 am

gremlinn

Ah, the ec was just when someone asked for stats for a word on that letter

12:58 am

vanillaslice

ty

12:59 am

negativeneil

I'm not too worried about the opinons of anyone who would disagree with that, you know? You can't please everyone.

12:59 am

Jellen

Good night all...

1:00 am

negativeneil

Oh, good night Jellen... sleep well.

1:00 am

jillibus

gnight jellen

1:01 am

vanillaslice

grem you're even more beautiful now....ahh Jil did you say 'him'?

1:01 am

gremlinn

Yeah, I absorb all the girls I touch - I've been doing a lot of groping lately.

1:02 am

vanillaslice

you grope in the right places ... mm that doesnt sound quite right

1:05 am

negativeneil

I thought you were a girl at first, gremm.

1:05 am

gremlinn

It's the double N, yeah.

1:05 am

negativeneil

Or woman I should say.

1:06 am

negativeneil

Haha, vanillaslice... well it might to him. Sounds like a compliment to me.

1:06 am

gremlinn

Some people have thought "Linn" was my name from that.

1:06 am

negativeneil

No, it's the icons you use. Plus you don't specify your gender.

1:06 am

negativeneil

Well yeah, that could be too.

1:06 am

gremlinn

Heheh

1:06 am

negativeneil

I guess you like to be mysterious?

1:07 am

gremlinn

Yep

1:07 am

dart001

fireworks listless

1:07 am

negativeneil

Hi and congrats, dart! :)

1:07 am

gremlinn

Or I'm just an internet weirdo...

1:07 am

dart001

hey neil

1:08 am

negativeneil

If you say so?

1:08 am

gremlinn

Not sure there even is a list yet

1:08 am

negativeneil

I might be weirder than you. Never know.

1:08 am

negativeneil

I don't think there is.. Lickety always announces it when he posts, doesn't he?

1:08 am

gremlinn

I guess it's conceivable.

1:08 am

dart001

didn't you say that you put one in your profile?

1:09 am

gremlinn

Ah yeah, I have one.

1:09 am

jillibus

hi dart

1:09 am

dfmchfhf

I usually have one too

1:09 am

gremlinn

I haven't for a long time before today because Lickety's been so constant with it.

1:10 am

vanillaslice

fireworks thanks to she who after all is a he but you'd never tell

1:10 am

dart001

hi jilli

1:15 am

jillibus

congrats vanilla

1:15 am

vanillaslice

ty Ji;, must fly see you all later

1:16 am

jillibus

bye vanilla

1:16 am

dfmchfhf

congrats vanilla! :o)

1:16 am

dfmchfhf

(and bye!)

1:17 am

joshuavorbis

hi and nbt

1:17 am

negativeneil

You have email, hootowl.. if you're here to see this. Sent you an article of mine and video footage I shot at a protest... think you'll enjoy it.

1:18 am

negativeneil

Congrats, vanillaslice!

1:18 am

jillibus

hi and wtg josh

1:18 am

negativeneil

And hi Josh.

1:19 am

mixi6

phantom: hogtie

1:19 am

gremlinn

yep, first thing I saw!

1:19 am

jillibus

you're in the grid, mixi :-)

1:19 am

gremlinn

Even the G sort of looks like a 6

1:19 am

negativeneil

That she is! I'm in there a lot too.

1:20 am

mixi6

I are, I are.

1:20 am

negativeneil

I'll be surprised if "gremlinn" ever shows up in one. But it could I'm sure.

1:21 am

gremlinn

I have seen it at least once on another site - probably not here.

1:23 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah?

1:24 am

gremlinn

either Word Racer or Wordsplay

1:24 am

negativeneil

You play Word Racer too, gremlinn?
I'm an addict... love that game!

1:24 am

gremlinn

I used to, haven't for a few years

1:25 am

negativeneil

I play in Social Lounge 7 at table 1 most often... sometimes table 2-4, depending which one my regular gang of buddies is at. If you go into that lounge and see "baha254" and "dheval_de_trait", they're the hosts of the table/s I play at.

1:26 am

gremlinn

want to play a little now?

1:27 am

negativeneil

Well my Yahoo ID is "negative_neil" with an underscore if you want to add me on that messenger? Yeah, that would be fun... but give me a few minutes. Need to run to the washroom first! BRB

1:36 am

negativeneil

Ok, I'm back... you still here grem?

1:36 am

gremlinn

yeah, I'm there too

1:38 am

negativeneil

Ok, cool. How do we connect there then? I'm just logging into Yahoo's website.

1:38 am

gremlinn

SL7, table 1

1:39 am

negativeneil

Ok. Do you have a good backdoor links page for the Yahoo Games' lounges? If not, here's one:
http://games.amishdonkey.com/word
_racer/

1:40 am

gremlinn

No, what's that do?

1:40 am

negativeneil

Oh and do you play "fives"? [only entering words 5 letters or more in length]

1:40 am

gremlinn

Yeah, usually

1:41 am

gremlinn

I think I remember baha

1:41 am

gremlinn

the name, anyway

1:42 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah? She's fun... very nice woman.

1:42 am

negativeneil

A real word nerd like us.

1:44 am

rururocks

hi neil and grem.. late arrival for me

1:47 am

Fauxmage

They are word racing, rururocks.

1:48 am

rururocks

oh .. thanks.. thought they were here

1:50 am

rururocks

pretty boring grid and chat tonight

1:52 am

Fauxmage

Yeah I think a few people found the grid boring.

1:53 am

rururocks

it's okay. I'm so out of it today anyway

1:55 am

Fauxmage

Yeah, me too, kinda.

2:06 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

2:06 am

rururocks

thank you lickety

2:06 am

rururocks

I' am sure I'll need them

2:07 am

Griffums

ty lickety, and ty for Expert - I've just started using it

2:07 am

jillibus

Just got back from doing some emailing -- so glad to see Lickety -- thanks!

2:09 am

jillibus

But it's bedtime for me now -- hope to have a bit of time tomorrow although I have my library job to do again.

2:09 am

rururocks

hi jilli

2:09 am

jillibus

Hi and bye, ruru!

2:09 am

rururocks

sleep well

2:10 am

jillibus

Goodnight all ---- *poof

2:34 am

negativeneil

Hi ruru. Missed jilli's departure I guess?

2:39 am

negativeneil

oops, looks like I missed you both.

9:13 am

hego

I seem to have alll the words already. lol

9:13 am

car.eeyore

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

9:13 am

hego

Hi car

9:14 am

crosshair

patience all dr_g is making server adjustments

9:14 am

hego

I wonder if I finished?

9:14 am

crosshair

howdy car

9:14 am

hego

ty Crossy

9:15 am

hego

I love your real name Crossy. Sounds so manly.

9:15 am

hego

And handsome even.

9:15 am

crosshair

and now it is time for the insanely popular crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!!

9:15 am

crosshair

why ty hego

9:16 am

crosshair

The Earthâ€™s North and South Poles flip polarity on a semi-frequent basis having done so more then 20 times in the past 5 million years. That means that with the next flip, all compasses will be pointing South rather then North.

9:16 am

hego

uh oh swelled head syndome

9:16 am

crosshair

my wifes given name is victoria,so it really has a noible ring to it victoria melbourne

9:16 am

crosshair

noble

9:16 am

hego

I worry about that from time to time, the pole thing.

9:17 am

uusue2

*gets markers ready to relabel compasses*

9:17 am

hego

No wonnder she calls herself Elegant

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, you are in the presence of a physicist!

9:18 am

crosshair

well divie 20 by 5 million and you will get a rough estimate as to when to be ready with yer markers lol

9:18 am

crosshair

divide

9:18 am

doseffing

... why owrry hego? ... a few years ago the magnetic pole moved across the border into the U.S. from Canada so all the compasses are pointing to you now

9:18 am

Jeff7

Initialization error. Contact Dr_God if this persists......any way to deal with this aside from emailing god?

9:18 am

hego

Seems that at the time of the change we will be vulnerable to solar radiation.

9:18 am

crosshair

every he knows jeff

9:18 am

crosshair

he

9:19 am

hego

Now I'm self conscious about being pointed at.

9:19 am

crosshair

lol hego

9:20 am

hego

: )

9:20 am

uusue2

I think the solar radiation is more of a danger to our electronics than anything else - pole reversals happen often enough that they don't seem to be associated with drastic extinctions or anything

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Youshould be paranoid, Hego.

9:20 am

crosshair

use a newfie compass just draw a compass on a bit of paper and point the arrow to where you aint and youll come home with no complaint

9:20 am

hego

: ((

9:21 am

uusue2

btw, speaking of solar radiation, my icon is a spectacular closeup of the sun's surface

9:21 am

crosshair

well sue as you know,every 16 years we get a solar surge

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Silly Crossy

9:21 am

crosshair

thats when ham radio is at it finest,the tropospheric conditions became phenominal

9:22 am

crosshair

get all kinds of signal bounce

9:22 am

hego

Oh well guess I'll try again ater.

9:22 am

hego

Have a good day friends.

9:22 am

crosshair

tc hego

9:23 am

uusue2

11 years, I think - that's the sunspot cycle

9:23 am

crosshair

we used to have con tests and exchange cards when we work our set with a nice long distance bounce

9:24 am

crosshair

11? i was sure it was 16...

9:24 am

crosshair

i could be wrong

9:24 am

crosshair

we hit the azores once;)

9:25 am

tceicher

Is anyone using an iPod to play nibble?

9:25 am

crosshair

nibble? sounds like an intersting game

9:25 am

tceicher

Ipad

9:26 am

uusue2

sunspot cycle is definitely 11 years (or 22 if you count the pole reversal - the sun has them too but a lot more often than the earth)

9:26 am

crosshair

kk,i stand corrected

9:26 am

uusue2

I just finished teaching 3 chapters of astrophysics about the sun so it is fresh in my mind :-)

9:27 am

tceicher

Oh, poo, that was supposed to be babble. My I pad keep correcting words for me

9:28 am

crosshair

jack london did a good tale on that when up in our tundra areas,he used to get awsome signal bounce

9:28 am

uusue2

the current cycle started a bit late, prompting speculation that it might not happen at all, but it has started up nicely now

9:28 am

crosshair

no,lets get back to this nibble game..do i start with the ear lobes?

9:28 am

Scrabbler

Funny you should mention that, eicher, I am on the website Smartphowned--funny texts

9:29 am

uusue2

and I don't have an ipod or ipad or anything but I do have an android phone on which I have babbled

9:29 am

Scrabbler

Nope, crossy, nape of the neck, please.

9:29 am

crosshair

kk

9:29 am

tceicher

Nibble could be interesting....i' cjheck for an app

9:29 am

uusue2

it is not quite as eager about the autocorrect as the iphone seems to be

9:30 am

mrpresident

hello all :)) nice to see good buddies here!

9:30 am

uusue2

btw if you want to die laughing check out damnyouautocorrect.com

9:30 am

uusue2

hi, mrp! babble ting; -0 hat ti ng;-0ha tt in g;- 0hatting :-)

9:31 am

uusue2

ok that is not at all what I typed!!!

9:31 am

mrpresident

hi sue!!! Luv you always!! LOL

9:31 am

uusue2

what I said was that babble seems to be down so we are just chatting!!!

9:31 am

tceicher

I can't seem to see the side slide bars so I am not able to scroll up and down

9:32 am

uusue2

I have that problem with my phone, tc, I think it's a feature we are stuck with

9:32 am

mrpresident

i need to change my profile from 'morphine blonde' to 'something special'... let's see what i find in my random pic in picasa

9:35 am

mrpresident

are we online??

9:36 am

uusue2

sort of, mrp

9:36 am

mrpresident

had a message about initialization error... icky!

9:36 am

MollyL

Why do you all think there is a problem with Babble?

9:36 am

uusue2

dr_god is working on it, I hope - he said at 9:02 that he was rebooting the servers

9:36 am

mrpresident

thanks sue... thought my puter had an attack

9:37 am

mrpresident

cause there is molly

9:37 am

uusue2

no word list and when I type in a word it tells me I already have it, molly (and I don't have any words yet)

9:37 am

MollyL

Weird, it's working fine for me.

9:37 am

mrpresident

well, good for you darling! :)

9:37 am

uusue2

maybe it is back? let me try refreshing, bbs

9:37 am

crosshair

mm,let me try a diff browser

9:38 am

uusue2

no, still get the mysql error and an initialization error, and no word list and no clock

9:38 am

mrpresident

some people are reporting that the grid is showing higher points for the end of grid, but showing fireworks without some of the tiles grayed

9:39 am

mrpresident

same sue... it works for some, and not for others

9:39 am

uusue2

and I tried entering a word and it told me I already had it (and I have NO words)

9:39 am

crosshair

nope,i get same error on FF,chrome and IE,so dr_g must still be working at it

9:39 am

MollyL

Okay, I refreshed and now it's fubared.

9:39 am

uusue2

will try crossy's trick, bbs with another browser...

9:39 am

uusue2

ok, never mind, crossy has done it for me :-)

9:40 am

crosshair

yup,do not bother sue

9:40 am

mrpresident

molly, is a bloody pain when it happens, but happens to the best of us!! LOL

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Oh, boy, Mother is on the phone. Yesterday she rambled for 55 minutes.

9:40 am

crosshair

(((MRP)))

9:40 am

mrpresident

((((crossy)))) !!! xox

9:40 am

mrpresident

oh boy!! hope it was ok scrabs!

9:41 am

uusue2

well, you can chat with us while she's on, scrabs, we're chatting even though babble seems to be down :-)

9:41 am

mrpresident

I am entering words that are not going to babble..... going to lickety but not the game

9:41 am

crosshair

i never allow people to ramble at me on the phone.to me the evil phone is for transferrance of critical information only and to be done as fast as possible lol

9:41 am

mrpresident

i hope that everyone know that it is saved to lickety and all they have to do is 'send words to babble' button

9:42 am

uusue2

well, there's a thought - I could do the whole thing on lickety! (I don't mean that the way it sounds!!)

9:42 am

mrpresident

crossy, you are my hero!

9:42 am

uusue2

does expert work?

9:42 am

crosshair

:))

9:42 am

uusue2

(nm, let me try)

9:42 am

mrpresident

yes sue, and then send it to babble when it is 'up', if you get my drift

9:42 am

Scrabbler

She does the play-by-play for me--the newspaper, the obits, what she did yesterday, what a doofus my father is, what my nephews are doing, the weather, what body part is aching, ....when she is quiet I relaize she has asked a question.

9:42 am

mrpresident

expert is working fine

9:43 am

Scrabbler

*realize

9:43 am

mrpresident

oh scrabs!! happy hunting in that conversation! poor sweetie!

9:43 am

mrpresident

realise is also acceptable

9:44 am

Scrabbler

Free association, long-distance tangential thoughts....

9:44 am

uusue2

hmmm, expert doesn't seem to be working for me either, will go to lickety's site

9:44 am

mrpresident

relaize seems appropriate for your situation :)) LOL

9:45 am

Scrabbler

OMG, she is done talking already. Because I told her I was about to go outside to plant bulbs, which I am about to do. See you later kids! I hope Babble will be working soon.

9:45 am

uusue2

bye, scrabs!

9:45 am

uusue2

and lickety's site is working for me so will be back and forth

9:46 am

mrpresident

i have to tell you all something

9:46 am

mrpresident

i don't know if you know yet...

9:47 am

uusue2

what, mrp?

9:47 am

mrpresident

you see that gorgeous little girl in my profile pic??? yes, that innocent little darling of a sweetie who is the most gorgeous and most delightful daughter in the world??

9:48 am

uusue2

yes...

9:48 am

flosey

Good morning everyone - I seem to have a problem, has anyone else lost all their Babble words?

9:48 am

uusue2

yes, we all have, flosey, we are waiting for dr_god to fix it

9:49 am

flosey

oh, thanks sue

9:49 am

flosey

what a relief, I was in quite late last night and had at least a good half, if not more

9:49 am

uusue2

anyway, mrp, what's up?

9:51 am

mrpresident

she is in an 'exclusive' relationship with a boy she has known for 3 years... they had their first kiss on friday night... for 1 second... just a peck!!
aaawwwwww!!!

9:52 am

uusue2

how sweet, mrp!!!

9:52 am

mrpresident

and he has been given the boundries... no touching anything that is covered by clothing! she told him straight up!!

9:53 am

mrpresident

i am so proud of her and happy for her at the same time, but of course, worried too! heartbreak is hard for them at this age... but they have had their fights and gotten through it as friends.

9:53 am

doseffing

... as father of two ... I can assure you that if you had problems with insomnia before this ... you ain't seen nothing like the lack of sleep you're going to get on weekends now ...

9:53 am

uusue2

oh, that is great, mrp! May she stay as happy as she is now!

9:54 am

mrpresident

now he is just smitten and being a total gentleman

9:55 am

mrpresident

thanks dofs!! she is a perfect storm!! I am glued to what she is doing and happy she is sensible enough to put her foot down to what is what

9:55 am

crosshair

lol,she has him jumping through flaming hoops eh? :)

9:55 am

mrpresident

indeed crossy! takes after her mother! :))

9:55 am

crosshair

lol

9:56 am

crosshair

and mrp,you cannot be putting pics of yourself in the icons.us guys get all distracted and cannot find any grid words that way:)

9:57 am

mrpresident

I approached him a few days ago... put my arm around his neck and gave him a hug.... 'welcomed' him and said I was so happy that my daughter was happy and glad they were 'getting on well'... then said, 'you take care of her and don't hurt her'... kissed him on the forehead and walked away...

9:58 am

mrpresident

lol crossy!! luv you too!

9:58 am

mrpresident

i am so 'mafia'... LOL

9:59 am

mrpresident

crossy, that photo is old hunny! I am a mother of a 12 and 13 year old now!! LOL

10:00 am

mrpresident

i will put up a current photo, that might help get you through the grid LOL!!

10:01 am

Erda

Initialization Error here. Anybody else?

10:02 am

mrpresident

yes erda... only expert is working

10:02 am

doseffing

... everybody else

10:02 am

mrpresident

and even then, you will have to sent words to babble

10:02 am

Deeha

and me. cant put anywords in as it says 'already entered'

10:03 am

Erda

Oh dear. What can be done?

10:03 am

mrpresident

i have found a heap of words, but they haven't gone to babble

10:03 am

uusue2

expert isn't working for me either, am using lickety's page

10:03 am

mrpresident

dr.g has to fix it

10:03 am

Erda

I assume he is aware of it -- yes?

10:03 am

mrpresident

expert is working for me, but not loading anything on the babble site

10:03 am

tickymong

having same problem here in england

10:04 am

mrpresident

i am playing and getting words, but will load them later in 'send words to babble', when it is fixed

10:04 am

mrpresident

hi ticky

10:04 am

mrpresident

hi erda :)

10:04 am

Erda

Hi mrp!!

10:05 am

tickymong

hi mrp

10:06 am

uusue2

hi, erda and ticky!

10:07 am

uusue2

and dr_god said an hour ago that he was going to reboot the servers - I hope someone has told him that babble still isn't working...

10:07 am

mrpresident

, well, got the V's done! LOL

10:07 am

Erda

Hi uusue2...

10:08 am

mrpresident

just email him... he might be asleep as it is only 10am

10:09 am

mrpresident

found a peaceful place on tv... English Premier League Man Utd. v Chelsea... hahahahaha

10:10 am

uusue2

what's his email?

10:11 am

mrpresident

it is at the bottom of the page usue

10:11 am

mrpresident

got any comments or questions? "send them"

10:12 am

uusue2

ok, got it!

10:14 am

mrpresident

got the 2 ou's that are compounds, what am I so missing??

10:14 am

mrpresident

i mean the ou5 btw

10:16 am

mrpresident

logie is so a word!!

10:16 am

MollyL

Not inner spelled the British way.

10:17 am

inge

RE CTA

10:17 am

uusue2

thx, molly! has an accented final vowel, I think

10:18 am

mrpresident

inge is back!! :))

10:18 am

uusue2

and thx, inge, didn't have that one either :-)

10:18 am

Jellen

Hello...

10:19 am

uusue2

hi, jellen!

10:19 am

MollyL

SQL errors are not easy to fix. This may take a while, provided Dr. God is actually working on it.

10:19 am

mrpresident

hi jellen :))

10:20 am

Jellen

Ah, so there's a reason my word list isn't loading?

10:20 am

mrpresident

he is working on it Molly, for sure... he is dedicated to fixing stuff here... ivesy had an issue before flip and let him know so he is probably trying to sort that and come across other probs

10:20 am

crosshair

indeed:)

10:21 am

uusue2

I just sent him an email...

10:22 am

Dorens

oh dear. i suppose this is the sort of thing that is a lot easier to deal with for those of you with babble expert. you can still enter everything and then send it over when babble is back up?

10:22 am

Sally-catlover

Now isn't that typical. I haven't been able to play for ages, and I choose today of all days!

10:22 am

rubyfoo

hello again

10:22 am

rubyfoo

sally! I haven't seen you in ages!!!

10:23 am

mrpresident

i have finished, but no firewords on babble... will have to wait until the list is accepted :))

10:23 am

Sally-catlover

{{ruby}} !

10:23 am

uusue2

Also my computer has gone into molasses mode so I will probably have to reboot, which I think means I will lose all the words I entered into lickety

10:23 am

mrpresident

hi all that came in whilst I was working away!! :)) **hugs**

10:24 am

uusue2

Maybe I will wrote them down if I can ever get my browser to scroll again

10:24 am

Sally-catlover

By the way, just now someone said that an ou5 is the British spelling of not inner, but that isn't so. It means outlandish (with an acute accent on the last letter). We spell the other word just as the other side of the pond does.

10:24 am

uusue2

Expert isn't working for me either

10:24 am

Jellen

I just popped in to say hi, anyway...

10:24 am

rubyfoo

anyway, it's French!

10:24 am

uusue2

Hi sally, it was a cute clue, though

10:25 am

Sally-catlover

Quite, ruby.

10:25 am

mrpresident

ok, all 93 done, but non on babble.

10:25 am

Jellen

Hooray for mrp!

10:25 am

Sally-catlover

OK, for those of you without Expert. Go to lickety, copy and paste his list into a Word document, then enter the words into there ready to pop in when you can.

10:25 am

rubyfoo

and if somebody is more of a monster is he og***?

10:25 am

uusue2

Yay, mrp!

10:25 am

Dorens

well yay anyway?

10:26 am

rubyfoo

yay mrp

10:26 am

rubyfoo

and hello sue and dorens

10:26 am

Jellen

Must run now...happy chatting, all!

10:26 am

rubyfoo

and jellen!

10:26 am

rubyfoo

(jellen's back)

10:26 am

uusue2

Ok, going to have to reboot, only had about 20 words anyway

10:27 am

uusue2

Right now I am on my phone...

10:27 am

Jellen

((ruby))

10:27 am

Jellen

*poof*

10:27 am

Dorens

i am out now too... fingers crossed that things will be better later. enjoy the day all (or evening)

10:27 am

rubyfoo

I see what you are talking about; I got 56 words this AM and it won't take any more

10:27 am

rubyfoo

see you later

10:28 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo and goodbye ruby!

10:28 am

uusue2

Bye, all! I'm sure all will be fine soon.

10:29 am

car.eeyore

Is crossy still here...or anyone that can tell me how to find the defrag for my system?

10:30 am

uusue2

Hi, car, it should be under system in the control panel

10:31 am

uusue2

Assuming you are running windows

10:31 am

car.eeyore

OK found that. What do I choose now?

10:32 am

uusue2

Hmmm, I am in the middle of rooting my computer now. Will look in a minute.

10:32 am

uusue2

What version of windows are you running?

10:33 am

car.eeyore

Don't laugh...windows XP

10:33 am

uusue2

Rebooting is what I am doing, not rooting. Sigh.

10:34 am

rururocks

anyone having trouble with the site?

10:34 am

uusue2

I have Vista but it's not that different.

10:34 am

uusue2

Everybody, ruru

10:35 am

car.eeyore

NM! Just found it! All set! Bye!

10:35 am

uusue2

Ok, great, car! Good luck!

10:36 am

rururocks

my word list isn't loading?

10:37 am

wildcat17

me too ruru

10:37 am

wildcat17

how does one contact dr god?

10:37 am

rururocks

I just wrote to him with the Warning on my computer

10:37 am

uusue2

He said he was going to reboot the servers at 9:02

10:37 am

wildcat17

what's his email?

10:38 am

rururocks

I copied this: Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/playbabble/index.php on line 128

10:38 am

wildcat17

obviously they need it again

10:38 am

wildcat17

I have a second warning across the top in the blue field

10:38 am

uusue2

I wrote him a few minutes ago to tell him it still isn't working

10:39 am

rururocks

it's weird when I don't know which words I've done

10:39 am

uusue2

Someone said that sql problems can be tricky so it might take him a little while

10:39 am

rururocks

I shudda finished this last night

10:39 am

uusue2

Lickety is working

10:40 am

uusue2

And expert is working for some people although not me

10:41 am

wildcat17

well I guess I'll try back later

10:41 am

uusue2

Oh, cool! I had to reboot my computer and lickety's page remembered my words!

10:49 am

Riverdance

I cant play babble....keep getting the error messages..have already rebooted...any suggestions?

10:50 am

uusue2

wait for dr_god to fix it, river, problems are on his end

10:50 am

uusue2

several of us have already written him, and he tried rebooting the servers a couple of hours ago

10:50 am

Riverdance

I cant even email him...tried and got the error messages

10:51 am

uusue2

some people can get expert to work, but not me; I've been entering words in lickety

10:51 am

Riverdance

I dont use expert

10:51 am

uusue2

"send them" way at the bottom of the page has a "mailto" link, you can use that in your own mailer (outlook or whatever) to email him

10:52 am

Riverdance

will try the lickety page

10:53 am

uusue2

we can still chat here (which is nice) but that's about it

10:57 am

godthaab

This is at the bottom of Babble? Anyone know what it means?:Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/playbabble/index.php on line

10:58 am

uusue2

means dr_god needs to fix it, a bunch of us have already emailed him, godt

10:58 am

uusue2

in the meantime lickety's site is working

10:59 am

Riverdance

maybe I can actually get some housework done...lol...be back later when hopefully it is fixed

10:59 am

godthaab

Thanks

10:59 am

uusue2

you are more dedicated than I am, river :-)

11:03 am

MollyL

"British spelling of not inner" was just a nudge to use the flipped last two letters the way some British words are spelled. Just to clarify, since I was corrected earlier.

11:03 am

uusue2

I knew that, molly, and thought it was a cute clue :-)

11:04 am

Sally-catlover

I just thought it might confuse some, Molly!

11:08 am

uusue2

anyway I am off to start my day (11 am, should be about time!) bbl!

11:16 am

mrpresident

babble still not working??

11:16 am

crosshair

11:17 am

crosshair

You can put the words in Lickety's list in regular Babble too. If and when this thing revs back up, you can transfer them to the word list.

1:39 pm

wildcat17

NM

1:40 pm

wvteach

how do you transfer them from Lickety to the word list

1:40 pm

wildcat17

at the top there is a yellow button that says send words to babble

1:43 pm

wvteach

don't have that yellow button anywhere

1:45 pm

gremlinn

The Lickety clue page and Babble Expert are separate things. The clue page won't have anything like that.

1:45 pm

hego

Nice to see you out of lurk Gremlin.

1:45 pm

smoove

Molly great idea

1:46 pm

hego

tx for your help.

1:46 pm

littlebit

at the bottom of the clues list on the clues page there are directions to tell you how to save the list and transfer them to another location

1:49 pm

scouser

Oh well let's hope they scrap the scores for today if we have to type everything in again. However, as an ex-programmer I would think that the system can right itself once this sql fetch instruction gets corrected. I wonder if it is a Microsoft glitch - they did a lot of updates yesterday (or was it the day before?)

1:52 pm

hi everyone

1:52 pm

It means babble is totally screwed up today, onyx

3:26 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone! good thing it's a small grid today.

3:26 pm

onyx

i am kind of getting that idea, it says i have entered the first two words i tried and it won't take anything. that seems to be my karma,

3:27 pm

lbdawger

onyx, you can go to lickety's list and put in your words there.

3:27 pm

jmcnrick

it is universal karma today

3:27 pm

movieman

So I'm just sitting here, listening to the debut album from new supergroup 'SuperHeavy' and sipping my mojito

3:27 pm

jmcnrick

i was going to babble on my netbook while trying to resurrect my laptop

3:27 pm

lbdawger

3:34 pm

MollyL

LBD and I were powerhouse women today. I cleaned the floors, did three loads of laundry, dusted, vaccumed, made the Sunday dinner rolls and have a pork roast and herb seasoned potatoes in the oven. I do not dabble in Christmas in September.

Kaplan the Magne

Now our icons have disappeared! what...??!!

4:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

psychobabble!!

4:42 pm

MollyL

I still see icons. No need to copy and past in chat. Just read back in chat to find out what is going on.

4:43 pm

nelleon

Wow! I think you have hit the nail on the head Kaplan!

4:43 pm

rururocks

uh molly... the Texans won again.. and the Colts lost.. just keeping you updated...

4:44 pm

rururocks

Dr. G hasn't fixed it yet it appears

4:45 pm

MollyL

Thank you smarty pants, I have been following the games today. Don't care much about The Colts.

4:45 pm

Soodlebum1

The faceless Soodle appears out of the mists of a banjaxed Babble.. Hi everybody :-)

4:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lost all my words...

4:46 pm

rururocks

*looks down at smarty pants*

4:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, god- it's like in the 60s when the tv tube blew. We have to talk to each other.

4:46 pm

MollyL

Hello Soodle. I thought of you as I prepared the Sunday pork tenderloin.

4:46 pm

Soodlebum1

Gawd. Food = Soodle?

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ace

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

sorry.

4:47 pm

MollyL

No, but the last time I made a pork roast we were chatting about it.

4:47 pm

rururocks

how does soodle related to pork?

4:48 pm

aleph

This not working for everyone?

4:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No...

4:48 pm

MollyL

As for football, The Redskins won and Dallas is losing. I am a happy camper.

4:48 pm

Soodlebum1

Ah-ha. Molls. I remember that. And Ruru.... please don't go there.............

4:48 pm

rururocks

I hope Dallas gets creamed in the second half

4:49 pm

MollyL

It is the bane of my existence that my son, who I raised as a Redskins fan, is a turncoat Dallas fan.

4:49 pm

rururocks

I'd disown him molly

4:49 pm

Soodlebum1

And, of utterly no significance to most of you, Dublin won the All Ireland Football Final today.

4:50 pm

MollyL

That is the thanks I get for feeding him and all his buddies football food all Sunday for years.

4:50 pm

rururocks

and take him out of your will.

4:50 pm

MollyL

Hooray for Dublin!!

4:50 pm

Soodlebum1

Oh, the ingratitude of offspring......

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

there was a needle case in the grid AND in the Sunday NY Times diagramless today...

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

in case anyone is interested.

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

just trying to divert from heated sports conversations.

4:52 pm

MollyL

Speak to me not of needle cases. I had to freaking sew yesterday and I am still grumpy about it.

4:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I will speak not to you then.

4:52 pm

Soodlebum1

Huh. According to Babble, I already entered the needle case....

4:52 pm

MollyL

No, just not of needle cases.

4:53 pm

MollyL

Soodle, Babble is broken.

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It said I entered everything.

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Our dear Babble is broken and now we must converse.

4:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

sad sad day.

4:54 pm

Soodlebum1

<------- Imagining Molly in a sweat-shop, squinting her eyes at some intricate lace-making...

4:54 pm

MollyL

I can't remember if I cried, when I read about his widowed bride, but something touched me deep inside, the day...Babble...died.

4:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

does this mean there is no PB?

4:55 pm

gremlinn

We don't have to care about spoilers?!

4:55 pm

nelleon

Sorry, Molly. Didn't realize there was a a rule about cutting and pasting in Babble. So many unwritten regs! Jeessh!

4:55 pm

Soodlebum1

â™«â™«Helter-Skelter in a summer swelterâ™«â™«

4:55 pm

MollyL

No PB, just a general party in the Babble lounge. Open bar and appetizers provided.

4:56 pm

6:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

well they said it is store poilcy , it was on the door. "see, it says we reserve the right to check all packages." i always thought that meant they could inspect them... counselor?

6:14 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

6:15 pm

jmcnrick

check could mean inspect or it could mean that you give the bag to them to hold while you go back in--doens't mean you can't bring it in

And if it's the same as the word sticking an "a" on front, it means "another name for verdigris"

7:49 pm

carleekat

good grief no minver..i only just started ..but thanks :)

7:50 pm

gremlinn

Verdigris in turn is: 1. A blue or green powder consisting of basic cupric acetate used as a paint pigment and fungicide.
2. A green patina or crust of copper sulfate or copper chloride formed on copper, brass, and bronze exposed to air or seawater for long periods of time.

I'm thinking er5 is *not* the same as the Latin word

7:52 pm

dianedecoder

Hello BabbleRabble! How are you? Welcome to the grid

7:56 pm

gremlinn

Toeing the PB line :)

7:57 pm

MollyL

Then it should be spelled with the "A". Babble annoys me with words like this.

7:58 pm

MollyL

And that was not towing the PB line, that was a PB offense, as in putting a word in chat.

7:59 pm

gremlinn

I didn't think it counted if it was as a substring

8:00 pm

Minveryork

C's coddled! 5 left

8:00 pm

gremlinn

Like I could say "phantom outrate" even though the ra4 is in the grid

8:01 pm

MollyL

Doesn't matter. The "rules" (if you will) are overlooked here now. Someone told me that people clue in the first hour and that used to be a BIG no no.

8:01 pm

dianedecoder

don't worry about it gremlinn..... the PB is vastly over-ra4/4 d

8:02 pm

gremlinn

I jumped into the PB willingly earlier because there was bacon.

8:02 pm

o-o

How fun to be chastised by the esteemed babble elitists.

8:02 pm

dianedecoder

LOL

8:02 pm

Minveryork

Hi dianedecoder! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:02 pm

MollyL

Hey don't look at me, I'm just a Babble peon.

The lurkers appreciated the clue! :)

8:03 pm

dianedecoder

It's just a game for Pete's sake..... I'm no elitist and I play for fun and TRY to abide by the rules.

8:03 pm

gremlinn

I clue when someone asks for a clue

8:03 pm

dianedecoder

Hi Minver

8:03 pm

gremlinn

Which isn't quite often in the first hour, but it can happen, because a lot of people are eager for the NBT

Did you put a copy of that vi 5/18 in the Penalty Box?

8:39 pm

uusue2

oops! No fw for me yet, but I will enjoy watching them vicariously from the PB! and thx for pointing out the word, I'd missed it

8:41 pm

uusue2

but nbt now, thanks to a few made-up words

8:41 pm

gremlinn

It's not fair to make up words! Only use dictionary words!

8:42 pm

uusue2

Hmmpf. They're all made up too.

8:42 pm

wht

Why is it not fair, gremlinn, Enable makes up words all the time.

8:43 pm

gremlinn

Enable is exempt from the rules.

8:46 pm

MollyL

Grem, I would send you to the PB for ru4, but talk of that went very badly last time. So I'll just pass you a slice of apple pie.

8:47 pm

wht

Well, Good night all. And Molly, you are not a peon, you are a regent.

8:47 pm

gremlinn

I already sent myself to the PB for that word - no double jeopardy!

8:47 pm

MollyL

Goodnight Wht, and thanks. I'm certainly not a snobocrat. : P

8:48 pm

uusue2

night, wht!

8:48 pm

gremlinn

Plus, I pluralized it this time anyway - but...did you say pie?

8:48 pm

MollyL

Yes Grem, you may have pie in or out of the PB. : )

8:48 pm

gremlinn

*jumps in the Pie Box*

8:49 pm

harpjane

pie?

8:49 pm

harpjane

what kind?

8:49 pm

gremlinn

Dutch apple

8:49 pm

uusue2

cute, grem - PB always makes me think of peanut butter...

8:49 pm

MollyL

*Cuts a slice for Harpjane*

8:49 pm

uusue2

so maybe it is peanut butter pie? (surely there is such a thing)

8:49 pm

Minveryork

Minveryork

There is no di 4/5 need for a story today, but here is one anyway. Hubby and I always ar5/16 over Babble. He does not ca4/5 for this game. He regrets the day he told his friend Ca5/12 to show me how to play the game. However, I'm gr5/14ful to him for showing me how to play.We ar5/16 with such vi6/36 that we say cr5/14 things. Our fights can be gr 5/16ling at times because we will fight for over an ho 4/5. My husband can be an A-ho4/5!He gets ir4/5 whenever I babble.I have been a lu5/12 and tried to lu 4/5 him to Babble, but to no avail.He is such an og 4/6 when it comes to Babble. On a scale of 1 to 10 my husband would ra4/4 Babble negative 100. Husband would like to enforce a no Babble ru4/5. Whenever I hear his car pull in,I try to leave no tr 5/12 of Babble on the laptop by closing all the windows. Husband is being a he 4/5 and wants computer.I gr 4/7 at what he might do if I don't give it to him. I'm going to te 4/4 myself away from laptop and go watch My Name is Ea4/4 or I might watch Will and Gr5/16. I have vi4/8 to ra 4/5 back here to help clue later. By the way, none of this story is tr 4/5.

8:59 pm

uusue2
