Instructions from ARB for putting babble grid results into profile:
• Copy word list into an Excel spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 5 columns (because of ? for dictionary).
• Then insert a column after the word.
• Then write a formula in the first line after the word, example - " =left($B1,2)" (the $ makes the formula absolute)
• Then copy the formula all the way down (put cursor in bottom right of the top cell with the formula and drag down to end of word list).
• Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points

Yes, thanks. I finally managed to get all the paperwork tidied up and put away. I had been ignoring it for a week.
6:28 am
Anniebrook
someone mentioned a gerund ending. as far as I can see, there is none.
6:29 am
Haz1558
No, there isn't one, I'm not sure what they meant.
6:30 am
uusue2
I think they were riffing off variant spellings and endings in Babble, not any particular ones in this grid (hope that makes sense, am just waking up)
6:31 am

I'll buy that,sue

my goodness annie! I would think it would cause you to burst into flames or something! LOL
7:07 am

I don't think it matters what religion you are...when people are lifting you up in thoughts and prayers...amazing things happen!!!!! {{Annie}}
7:08 am
Anniebrook
No, not me..
7:08 am
Trifioso
of course,car - I was just kidding
7:08 am
car.eeyore
Oh I know! I was being upbeat and glib.

But then, wouldn't the water extinguish the flames
7:09 am

Bab Anon only has yesterday's info...
7:09 am

No...it would be like the burning bush.
7:09 am
Anniebrook
I respect all religions.
7:09 am
Trifioso
and I suppose I was just being "senstive"(2 sylls) and trying to avoid being even more hated in the chog than I already am....
7:10 am
car.eeyore
As do I Annie!
7:10 am
Anniebrook
Trif!! I CANNOT imagine you being hated. You are a big plus to Babble and a sweetheart.
7:10 am
Trifioso
oh, annie my love,there is a LINE, I assure you!
7:11 am
car.eeyore
You would be surprised Annie...however...Trif is MUCH loved in this group!
7:11 am
Anniebrook
Yes, I would be surprised, very much so.
7:11 am
Trifioso
I think I would say I will respect a member of any religion, say if I was speaking with that person face to face, but there are some churches that I don't have a lot of respect for -- at all. A certain Westboro church comes to mind....
7:13 am
Trifioso
whoo! top row gray!
7:13 am

Cool! The plural of early spring flowers is in the grid! I just saw some at the busstop!

Trifioso
I used to be the church newsletter editor for my church, and, in convo with another editor, heard a brilliant story....a catholic church secretary used to use global replace to redo all the church bulletins, especially the ones for funeral - she would just automatically replace "elizabeth" with "carole" for example.This went very well, until someone named "mary" died, and then the next funeral was for someone named "edna" and the mourners were very surprised to see prayers to "holy edna, mother of god"
7:21 am

I got the clue from the chat log

8:31 am

Hurshy, you would love it and do very well. nrkii kicks our butts daily.
8:32 am

but sounds like it costs something
8:32 am

Lord, don't seduce us with any MORE of these addictions!
8:32 am
Haz1558
Yes, it's a yearly subscription of something like 9 $.
8:32 am
Scrabbler
9.95 yearly, and as you ea4 stars you extend your subscription.
8:32 am

Really! Like we need more word crack.
8:33 am

But they're a mixture of puzzles, some take longer than others.
8:33 am

Some are timed so you daren't linger.
8:33 am

It is one of my daily highlights, I admit. Challenging, tricky, some games are easier for my brain than others.

How do I access QP? It sounds interesting.

Nope. And I don't ea4 stars the way nrkii does. How she excels on every game everyday is beyond comprehension, because luck is a component in some games.

Hi kje. You play QP somedays.

You're welcome, kje and Jayk.

The gekko is cute, but I really love the new piggy with the pinwheels.
8:42 am

I hope he works hard and moves up. He has a double degree--psych and criminal justice--so they told him that he is being considered for the fraud investigation division.
8:43 am

sounds like that would be an awesome job!
8:43 am
Scrabbler
And my nephew will become a father in July. Oops + yikes.
8:43 am

Sounds like a great job, Scrabbs. Unfortunately, there's plent of job security there - lots of insurance scammers out there.
8:44 am

I tell him to be humble, to be conscientious, to ask for help when needed, to be trustworthy, etc.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore. hehe

Was able to babble with ea 4/4 when I started the grid, but I gave up on the grid with 152 words. Now I'll be an ai 5/12 and ai 4/5 you with a story of clues to re 4/5. I started cooking not long ago,so I am not very good at it yet. I often bu4/7 whatever it is that I am making.I can never cook ri 4/5 the right way.I get so annoyed when I bu4/7 my butt to make a good meal and then it gets bu 6/30.I can barely heat a can of co4/5 in the microwave Sometimes I just think that I should ce 5/12 cooking all together. I'm surprised my husband has not taken me to co5/14 for food poisoning.Although he ado4/5s me, he does not like my cooking as much. Husband has do6/30 when it is my night to cook.Hubby always ru4/7 it in my face that he is a better cook than I am. He is so ru 4/6! However,his do4/6 criticism of my cooking doesn't drive me insa4/4 like it used to. I am not that good at baking either. I usually ruin the cr 5/14 whenever I bake a pie. Hubby has this id 4/5 that I should take cooking classes. They offer cooking classes down the ro 4/5 on ro4/5e 6 ne 4/4 my house, but I don't want to pay for them. Well my de4/5 Babble friends, I must go. Hubby is dr4/8bing his feet because he wants to ou4/5 me off the laptop. I will let him have his tu4/5 on the computer. I am going to be a ra 6/21 & go ra 4/5 the fridge for something to eat and watch Raymond Bu 4/7 in a Perry Mason movie. I do5/18 I will be back tonight. I will see you tomorrow.

Jacula
I had a feeling you'd say that, cos.:-)
8:15 pm
Jacula

rururocks
i'll find it thanks
8:19 pm
Jacula
Apparently Bea Arthur was in the marine corps and was also a truck driver. When she began the military service she was described as 'overbearing and aggressive'. Was she just a feisty Jewish lady or did she have 'issues'. Who knows.
8:19 pm
cosdem
there's a reason she and betty white had a long lasting feud that lasted til bea's death. betty won't share why though. good for her.
8:20 pm
rururocks
yeah.. c's are crushed
8:20 pm
Jacula
Well done, ruru!
8:20 pm
cosdem
when they did the golden girls reunion, they refused to be filmed together.

8:22 pm

we played the golden girls that night at my party at the bar all night.

Speaking of 'the dreaded r's' makes me think of Exwren, who used the icon I made her, 'I HATE RE WORDS!' Haven't seen her here for ages. Has anyone else?
8:34 pm
rururocks
nope.. not me
8:34 pm
Jacula

Actually, my imagination is going off on one of its tangents here and seeing eachgrid square with dreadlocks.

You folks who can survive finding 61 C words have a lot of stamina. I just can't maintain interest (nor do I have time) for grids this big.

Dorens....?
8:42 pm
Dorens
Cannot look at list while babbling
8:43 pm
Dorens
Cannot look at list while babbling
8:43 pm
Jacula
Molly - I have the time at the moment because I have no job. Having said that, three quarters of the grid usually goes fast anyway.
8:43 pm
cosdem
jacula is right. if i had a job i wouldnt be on as much as i am. this keeps me sane :)
8:45 pm
Jacula
Dorens - my other half gets the grid for me on his iphone when we go on holiday to a place with no internet. However, I have to do the grid on paper just for fun, since keying it in on his phone could cost a bloody fortune. I get lots of books re4 on holiday in Devon.
8:45 pm
MollyL
Dorens vs The iPad, who will win?
8:45 pm
Jacula
Molly - we shall see!
8:46 pm

8:46 pm

That is the ultimate in Babble addiction. Doing it on paper.
8:46 pm
LeslieAnn
*drumroll*
8:46 pm
Jacula
Feel the tension in the air as Dorens does battle!
8:47 pm
LeslieAnn
every time i do it on paper i realize exactly how much monkeying i actually do
8:47 pm
Jacula
Molly - I used to do it on paper when the game first began.
8:47 pm
MollyL
<---Can't remember what "going on holiday" is like. It's been a long time.
8:47 pm
Jacula
Doing Babble on paper is just like what we used to do, i.e. crosswords, before this game came along.
8:48 pm

fire...works.....

s's are slowing me down
8:50 pm
Jacula
st5/12 (river not far from where I live) = s + to4 of duty, as a soldier does. st6 + the 2 st7's are Scottish for 'dusty'.
8:51 pm
Jacula
st6 adds a vowel at the end of the st5.12. 1st st7 adds a pluralising or verb forming letter. 2nd st7 adds 2 vowels to the end of the st5.
8:51 pm
Jacula
Hope that helps!
8:53 pm
Jacula
st6/24 is a woollen cloth the British bartered with NA Indians. Named after the town in Gloucestershire, England.
8:54 pm
Jacula
However, it's not pronounced like you might think. It rhymes with 'hood'.
8:55 pm
Jacula
Or, perhaps more properly, rhymes with 'bood'.
8:56 pm
Jacula
st8.50 is stronger and bigger, and heftier. The st8 that follows it sounds like a plural.
8:57 pm
rururocks
i'm stuck on the last su 5 and the su 8 and 9
8:57 pm
rururocks
ok.. got the 5
8:57 pm
rururocks
help on the su8 please?
8:58 pm
LeslieAnn
su + consonant + stop for su8
8:58 pm
Jacula
su5 (last) is a disease.
8:59 pm
Jacula
su5 andsu6 (final ones), think of the laughing Australian bird, the kookab***.
8:59 pm

not getting the stop part of that clue LA..

WWF? you mean WTF?
9:14 pm

Going to have to go and wake my OH up soon. He's got a day's work and has to be in for 5am. He likes to be up 2 hours before work.
9:15 pm
Jacula
ruru - No, LOL. Word With Friends. It's a game on Facebook.
9:15 pm

9:18 pm
rururocks
really.. wow
9:18 pm
Jacula
WWF is that American wrestling programme, isn't it? He's been watching that a lot since he got made redundant. They seem to do more talking/shouting than actual wrestling.
9:19 pm
Dorens
my grid. and i still have 8 to go
9:19 pm

WWF is the dumbest stupidest stuff I've ever seen

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you…. The one who turns to his friends and says, ‘that’s her.’â€
9:21 pm
KatieMcG
niht crossy
9:21 pm
Jacula
ruru - I quite agree about WWF! That's why I avoid watching it.
9:21 pm
Dorens
good night crossy
9:21 pm
Jacula
Crossy - you've been spying on my chap, haven't you?:-)
9:21 pm

yes jac.. just weird stuff.
9:22 pm
Jacula
Goodnight, crossy.
9:22 pm
KatieMcG
I once (about 18 years ago) went to see it live and friends had free tickets, unbelievable - the awfulness & despair is still with me.
9:25 pm
Jacula
Katie - sorry you had that experience. I once got taken to see proper wrestling at Bingley Hall in Birmingham, England (before the hall burnt down - obviously!) and it was great fun. All theatrics and pantomime, of course, but proper wrestling too.
9:26 pm
Jacula
Names like Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, Pat Roache, Jackie Pallo etc. back in the 70s.
9:26 pm
cosdem
i never got into WWF. my dad and brother did though and i hated wrestlemania pay per view events cause i was forced to choose between that or go to bed early
9:26 pm
wht
Good evening Babblers. How is Babbleonia tonight?
9:26 pm
Dorens
oh my goodness. fireworks
9:26 pm
KatieMcG
I think the worst thing wasn't the show - it was actually very clever, it was that there were WAY too many people there who thought it was real (and I'm talking adults not children), it was more despair with the audience rather than the wrestlers
9:26 pm
KatieMcG
Yeah Dorens
9:27 pm
Jacula
I was at the match where the poor ref got knocked out when he got in the way of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks charging at each other from opposite sides of the ring.
9:27 pm
Jacula
Katie - was it here in UK?
9:27 pm
KatieMcG
I loved Big Daddy, we used to have wrestling on tv on a saturday night.

KatieMcG
yes it was at the NEC. I didn't realise you were in Worcestershire Jacula, we are going to Worcester tomorrow
9:29 pm
Jacula
Katie - where are you coming from to Worcs?
9:30 pm
Jacula
NEC - terrible acoustics!
9:30 pm
KatieMcG
Tamworth in Staffordshire. Hubby's family is from Worcester (as is he) and Grandma is in hospital so we are off to visit
9:31 pm
Jacula
Oh, not that far from me then, Katie.
9:32 pm
KatieMcG
No we had to decide where to live when we got together and the only reason we didn't choose Worcester was the house prices as we could afford a much bigger one in Tamworth
9:32 pm
Jacula
I was born in Warwickshire, but have been in Worcestershire for more years than I spent in Warks., now.
9:32 pm
Jacula
Yup, Tamworth was cheaper then.
9:32 pm
KatieMcG
I love the City but am never climbing to the top of the Cathedral again!
9:33 pm
KatieMcG
about £50,000 for a 4 bed semi - it made all the difference
9:35 pm
Jacula
Katie - lol. Did you have a 'near death' experience like my ex-hub's best friend did when we climbed to the top of Liverpool Cathedral (the Anglican one, not Paddy's Wigwam)? They had a load of wooden pallets on there and, near to the edge, he stepped backwards off one down to another at a bit too much lower level. He told us his whole life flashed before him. He didn't need to tell us that; w heard him squeak and saw the fear in his eyes.
9:36 pm
Jacula
We've not let him forget it ever since either, not since it happened in 1977.
9:38 pm
Jacula
maggie - du + extinct bird.
9:38 pm
Jacula
Or try du + 'between a ***k and a hard place.@
9:39 pm
KatieMcG
it gets really narrow near the top I just had images of being wedged in for the rest of my life. Worse was the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona where I think we took a wrong turn and ended up down narrow spiral stone stairs with a hole running down the middle and no handrail. I only got down by chanting 'one step at a time'. Honestly we were nervous wrecks, everyone else seemed to come down a safer way.
9:39 pm

9:42 pm

We still talk about the time that we were watching Alien the movie on tv and the bursting out the stomach scene came on. Mari & I knew about it and braced ourselves. Mr Mari had no idea, screamed and then was so mad at us for not warning him turned off the tv and all the lights and went to bed leaving us laughing in the dark. Mum and I can still laugh for hours about it now
9:42 pm

Can I have a clue for the first co6,24?

9:43 pm
Jacula
Katie - thanks for the warning about the church in Barcelona. I'm claustrophobic and Beloved doesn't like heights. Perhaps we'll just admire it from outside and below, should be ever get to visit.
9:44 pm
KatieMcG
There a lovely cafe you can take photos from outside :0)
9:44 pm
MollyL
Oy, that "find a guy" quote is all over the internet. Super schmaltz.
9:44 pm
Jacula
Jeeze, Katy! I couldn't breathe even just looking at that pic of the stairs.
9:45 pm
Jacula
Cafe outside sounds like a good plan!
9:45 pm
KatieMcG
We had to rush out to the smoking area and get a ciggie as soon as we got down to calm down. I would have had a large drink as well if they had served it!
9:46 pm
Jacula
Hi again Molly. Well, we know Crossy is smaltzy, don't we? However, my guy is, for the most part, a man that makes me feel good.
9:47 pm
MollyL
Nothing wrong with a guy who makes you feel good Jac.
9:47 pm
KatieMcG
I'm off back to bed to see if I can get more sleep. Thanks for the chat Jacula, and I agree Crossy is smaltzy and proud of it and I think it is a trait to be proud of
9:48 pm
welki
hi folks (schmaltz, like stuffed derma. is delicious and rare these days)
9:48 pm
Jacula
Katie - LOL! We're having to give up both smoking and drinking at the moment, due to both being redundant and having no money. He's giving up both first so we don't 'try to kill each other'. I think he means I'm meaner than him. LOL
9:49 pm
Jacula
'Night Katie.x
9:49 pm
KatieMcG
Oh Jac we have given up smoking (it will be 7 weeks on Monday) and it is a hard road. Hopefully you will stay strong. I hope you pick up work soon, it's an awful time at the moment
9:51 pm
MollyL
I have a poor, naive friend who showed me a love poem that her current fling emailed her. Said he wrote it. I broke it to her gently that he copied it off the internet. Some people are easily bowled over.
9:51 pm
KatieMcG
night all *poof*
9:51 pm
Jacula
Well at 6 or 7 quid a packet now, smoking is getting to be more ridiculous a habit than it was before, and there's also the fact that you are treated like a leper if you step outside your home.
9:51 pm
MollyL
Night Katie
9:53 pm
Jacula
Molly, if you want a book of genuine poems written by a couple, I have one that I co-wrote with an editor of mine.
9:54 pm
Jacula
We weren't a couple when we wrote the poems - just two poets sparking off each other's words. We did become a couple for a while some years later but then parted and he's dead now.
9:55 pm
MollyL
That is very nice Jac, good for you. Alas, I currently have more books than I have room for, many of them poetry.
9:56 pm
Jacula
Molly - be careful when you do the book clear out. I still miss many of the books I cleared out about 6 years ago.
9:57 pm
Jacula
I have more books on my shelves still to re4 than I'll possibly live long enough to re4.
9:58 pm
Jacula
Not to mention all the stories to4 from magazines to re4.
9:59 pm
Jacula
I write them sometimes, but I think I re4 more than I will ever write.
10:03 pm
Jacula
I'm off for the night now. Beloved is up and preparing for a day's work. Time for me to slumber, without earplugs for once. See you all next grid.
