Dachef

usually meet on a thursday. When you feel up to it, stand up and say your name clearly. Don't take whiskey or vodka with you - it doesnt go down too well, although the odd beer can often be encouraged.

5:12 am

Hello Molly! What a beautiful sunrise...or is that a sunset? Either way, it is gorgeous!

6:59 am

MollyL

I guess I'm hopelessly uninformed. I thought the A word that meant to straighten had a G in it. *Crawls back under rock*

6:59 am

Anniebrook

It works both ways in Enable. going to click on the word and see what it says.

7:00 am

car.eeyore

Anniebrook

Molly, its the skirt.

Judi

Good morning, kids.

8:04 am

Aloyisius

hi there Judi

8:05 am

Judi

I see the grid does not allow "inlaw" or "inlaws". Perhaps that's not a bad thing.

8:06 am

Kaplan the Magne

that's silly.

8:06 am

Aloyisius

must be hyphenated

8:06 am

Kaplan the Magne

But totally understandable.

8:06 am

Judi

I guess so.

8:06 am

Kaplan the Magne

Outlaw is not hyphenated.

8:07 am

Judi

Good point, Kap.

8:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm full of good points.

8:08 am

hurshy

but outlaw and in-law are unrelated

8:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

So don't come too close.

8:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

My inlaws could be outlaws.

8:08 am

Judi

Although, some of us may have in-laws who are outlaws.

8:09 am

hurshy

*linguistically* unrelated.

8:09 am

hurshy

i mean apart from both having to do with law.

8:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

And genetically.

8:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am so pleased to be clearing up these fine points of grammar.

8:11 am

Aloyisius

fw, a fun grid

8:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

My favorite office appliance is my paper shredder.

After Doyle killed off the popular Sherlock Holmes in the mid 1890â€™s, over 20,000 readers of The Strand (the magazine the stories were published in) cancelled their subscriptions. Later, a reluctant Doyle brought the character back to life for a series of further adventures.

Jellen

Jellen

1:58 pm

Focal

Evening all!

1:58 pm

Jellen

Hello, Focal

1:58 pm

Focal

Hi Jellen, haven't seen you here before?

1:59 pm

Jellen

I'm not usually on this time of day...

2:00 pm

Focal

Well hello, how are you doing, I am 53 down, 78 to go!

2:00 pm

Jellen

I am well, thanks. And you?

2:00 pm

Focal

Just fine thanks!

2:00 pm

Jellen

27 left here, but I'm using the list...

2:01 pm

Jellen

Currently, I'm puzzling over sa 5/14. Any ideas?

2:01 pm

Focal

Haven't got to the list yet, I usually try to get half way on my own, then the list, and finally the kindness of my fellow Babblers - they never disappoint!

2:03 pm

Jellen

That's my method as well...

2:03 pm

Kateq

sa 5/14 thai beef on a stick

2:03 pm

Focal

sa5,14 - do you like Thai food? This is a Thai sauce, with peanut and chilli. Yum yum!

2:03 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Kate and Focal!

2:04 pm

Kateq

yw

2:04 pm

Focal

Glad to help!

2:05 pm

Jellen

As a matter of fact, I love Thai food, including chicken sa 5/14!

2:11 pm

MollyL

<-- Doesn't eat Thai food. Only knows that word because of Babble. Ditto "naan"

2:12 pm

Focal

Well Molly there is a world of wonderful flavours and taste sensations ahead of you, I think Thai food is one of the greatest world cuisines - so fresh and tasty. Mmmmm!

2:14 pm

Jellen

Agreed, Focal! I particularly like Tom Kha Guy (sp?), the coconut milk soup with lemongrass..

2:15 pm

Focal

In the words of the great Ned Flanders, scrum-diddly-umptious!

2:16 pm

dcseain

Hi, dc

It must be hard to sell real estate in this area. There are so many agents.

3:10 pm

dcseain

not too hard. Does mean that you need to have a good personality click, though

3:10 pm

dcseain

and there are a limited number of full-time agents.

3:18 pm

lynxxx

good luck with the new career DC ...you have good empathy with people and are very open which your future customers will relate to...I am sure you will be successful

Speaking of Mardi Gras, I used to work with someone who had a dress made out of Mardi Gras beads. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

7:17 pm

Buttonman

jmitch, what part of Mississippi?

7:17 pm

rururocks

oh.. how many times did she have to flash them to get those?

7:19 pm

hi all!

7:59 pm

HarryHood

hi sue - very cool pic today

7:59 pm

uusue2

thanks! I like it :=)

7:59 pm

mab

I don't like to use a list (which accounts for my exceedingly low ranking) but if i did, hypothetically, where would i find it? hi sue

8:00 pm

uusue2

hi mab! lickety has a list (click on Lickety

8:00 pm

HarryHood

join the dark side, mab, it's the lickety link below the grid

8:00 pm

jillibus

Mab -- Lickety's Babble Clues, below the grid

8:00 pm

HarryHood

I had to list at 50 to go today

8:01 pm

jillibus

Hello all

8:01 pm

uusue2

sorry, once again the return key is too close to the apostrophe

8:01 pm

HarryHood

hi jill

8:01 pm

uusue2

hi jilli!

8:02 pm

jillibus

this is the time I like, when people are giving real clues instead of just "calling" at fliptime.

8:02 pm

mab

oh thanks, didn't know that was up again. i like your icon too sue - i never knew such things existed. hi jilli.

8:05 pm

jillibus

Unfortunately, it's also supper time here so I can't hang around.

8:05 pm

mab

i like your photo, jilli. I'll bet your son is very handsome now. he was then.

8:05 pm

HarryHood

3 left! all hy :)

8:06 pm

uusue2

ok, see you later, jilli!

8:06 pm

jillibus

Thanks, mab -- my son is now 63 and not too much the worse for wear -- has all his hair anyway, lol!

8:06 pm

jillibus

But it's longer...

8:07 pm

MollyL

I love acoustic guitar. And I would never be able to play at the flip. People just shouting out clues and stats really bugs me.

8:07 pm

mab

i know what you mean about the flip. for me it feels like such a feeding frenzy.

8:07 pm

mab

it's like a race

8:07 pm

MollyL

I agree Mab and I have never thought of this game as competitive.

8:08 pm

HarryHood

If I'm up that late, I'm cooking or cleaning the kitchen or mopping up vomit

8:08 pm

jillibus

The flip used to be fun. I don't like it now but like to try to get nbt and ignore the shouts.

8:08 pm

uusue2

I've been on at the flip occasionally, and it is a very different experience - I like it better later when people are more mellow

8:08 pm

jillibus

Vomit, Harry???

8:08 pm

uusue2

lol @ Harry!

8:08 pm

uusue2

he has babies, I think, jilli

8:08 pm

HarryHood

I have one kid who likes to throw up at around that time...

8:08 pm

mab

you really live on the edge, don't you harry?

8:08 pm

MollyL

When I had young kids, that would have been the only reason I would be up at that time.

8:08 pm

jillibus

OH, of course.

8:09 pm

HarryHood

yes mab, I'm a party animal

8:09 pm

MollyL

The few times I have been up at the flip (insomnia) I just turn chat off.

8:10 pm

MollyL

Feeding frenzy...good description Mab. : )

8:10 pm

uusue2

When I was in Israel, flip came at 8 am local time - was very strange :-) - but usually I was busy

8:10 pm

jillibus

That's so sad, Molly -- it used to be such fun, a meet and greet, until the speedsters from the dead Tangleword arrived.

8:11 pm

HarryHood

oh tangleword! I used to do that! I always lost so badly

8:11 pm

mab

they seem to have names that are variations on the word 'ranny

8:11 pm

HarryHood

my favorite was #boggle on irc chat

8:11 pm

mab

granny

8:12 pm

MollyL

It bugs me when what a few want changes the dynamics of an internet community.

8:12 pm

mab

i'm not naming names, just pointing to a sort of irony.

8:12 pm

jillibus

This was a cooperative game, not competitive, with players giving clever or funny clues a little after the flip -- then some wanted no clues for at least an hour, and then the "calling" began...

8:14 pm

jillibus

And yet there are the real pioneers, like jacula, who didn't even have the Tile Stats, and don't want clues or the list and manage to finish -- I have no idea how!

8:15 pm

MollyL

The fun of this game for me is finding words on my own. I don't mind the occasional clue in chat, if one is asked for. I just don't get why people have to blurt out clues when none are asked for.

8:15 pm

HarryHood

phew done

8:15 pm

MollyL

Yay Harry!

8:15 pm

jillibus

hooray for Harry!!!

8:15 pm

HarryHood

hooray :)

8:15 pm

uusue2

yay harry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:15 pm

mab

mazel tov harry

8:16 pm

uusue2

personally I like the chat - I have the same game on my phone (without chat) and it doesn't hold my interest. (Although I am easily distracted).

8:18 pm

MollyL

I love chat Sue. Just not clue blurting. : )

8:18 pm

mab

it's harold arlen's birthday today

8:19 pm

jillibus

It'sa sad that someone like stidmama has decided she's not enjoying babble any more and is quitting. We also lost the most interesting franmag of Hawaii, who matched the icon themes with Hawaiian information. And of course as everyone knows, I regret the lack of interest in the themes and the exchange of info, opinions, humour and so on which they used to generate.

8:19 pm

MollyL

I didn't know that Stid has announced she's quitting. That is sad.

8:20 pm

uusue2

<-- had to google Harold Arlen, and now has "Over the Rainbow" running through her head

8:20 pm

jillibus

Here endeth the endless lesson. I shall now retreat to the kitchen and listen to the universal sigh of relief!

8:20 pm

HarryHood

Sorry jilli, finding original theme pics takes so much time and effort, and I just like to concentrate on the game, and chat idly

8:20 pm

uusue2

Stid is also quitting Facebook and most other online activities - I think she needed to simplify her life.

8:20 pm

HarryHood

hey jilli, are you near Gabriola I?

8:21 pm

jillibus

chacun a son gout, harry and that's not just apain in the foot.

8:21 pm

mab

that was with yip harberg. he also wrote with ira gershwin, johnny mercer.

8:21 pm

uusue2

I did the themes for a little while, jilli, but then decided to do my own thing with the astronomy pictures - I don't mean any disrespect to the group, I just like the informational part of it

Harry, Gabriola is one of the other Gulf Islands -- it's not far but a bit unreachable from here.

8:22 pm

HarryHood

aah, I just knew it from their "complaint choir"

8:23 pm

jillibus

No prob, sue -- I know I'm a pain about it -- just reminiscing about a few years ago. Your icons are very interesting too.

8:24 pm

jillibus

Harry, what is your connection with Gabriola?

8:24 pm

mab

stormy weather, the man who got away, paper moon, let's fall in love, come rain or come shine - he just wrote so many great songs

Over the years, I have seen a lot of people quit/scale back on their computer time because it was taking too much time away from the important things in their life. Nothing wrong with that. There is more to life that being in front of the computer all the time.

8:27 pm

HarryHood

it's all very tongue in cheek

jillibus

Harry, it's wonderful -- Gabriola is very close to Salt Spring in spirit -- I'm going to post this on FB although it's a few years old, I think. It's classic.

8:34 pm

HarryHood

There are other ones - I suppose somebody not local wouldn't understand all the jokes, but Helsinki's is very good, and Jerusalem's too

8:34 pm
