It did look like fun -- I did a bit of it that night
12:17 am

12:17 am

If the rankings mean anything BR was first. Darts is about 5th
12:17 am
flosey
ru showed before dart, if that list is in order
12:18 am
rbud
rankings? or archives, that's what I was looking at, just wanted to see who all made it. Amazing amount of people, really.
12:19 am

I finished -- it took me 4 hours and I think I was 3rd or 4th
12:19 am
flosey
from the rankings, it shows ru as not having finished some grids
12:19 am

A lot said they wouldn't do it and then changed their minds. It became a very, very large challange just thinking about it!

4:06 am

quite amazing for me actually
4:07 am
Jayk
well i GOT up at 4:30 and it took until almost 11. Shameful really
4:07 am

Cross yes I think anyone that even attempted to even do the grid needs a big pat on the back
4:08 am
rubyfoo
back, sorry
4:08 am
Jayk
of course i see today we are rewarded with no S
4:09 am
rubyfoo
so that means I can get a t-shirt anyway?
4:09 am
herinfernallady
It is ok Ruby
4:09 am
rubyfoo
it was great fun, especially as we watched the reactions of people entering the grid
4:09 am
rubyfoo
the most profanity I've seen in here LOL
4:09 am
herinfernallady
That is why I logged in and said hi
4:10 am
rubyfoo
I thought it was great fun and it, too, was the most words I've ever gotten (380-something), but knew I couldn't possibly get any more than that without devoting the rest of my day
4:11 am
rubyfoo
now I will (rudely) ignore those upstairs, and try for a few words before lunch
4:11 am
Jayk
true. i have a lot of laundry and vacuuming in my schedule today!

Ruby at least Max was at home when you found him. poor you and poor Max at least he can run free over the rainbow bridge
4:13 am

yes, one of our babble friends sent me the rainbow bridge -- was it you? It made me cry but also feel better
4:13 am
herinfernallady
Wasn't me but it is something i talk about.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I had never heard of it, but it was lovely
4:14 am
herinfernallady
I do like that there is a cartoon around of a big fancy pearly gates and a boring field. The boring field is were the people and their pets go
4:14 am
rubyfoo
in the movie, Chocolat, one of the older parishioners has a talk with the young priest about whether dogs have souls
4:15 am

4:16 am

I will just have Johnny deep thanks

but Alfred Molina is wonderful, too (just not exactly handsome lol)
4:22 am
herinfernallady
True
4:26 am
crosshair
Every dog must have a soul, somewhere deep inside
Where all his hurts and grievances are buried with his pride.
Where he decides the good and bad, the wrong way from the right,
And where his judgement carefully is hidden from our sight.
A dog must have a secret place, where every thought abides,
A sort of close acquaintance that he trusts in and confides.
And when accused unjustly for himself, He cannot speak,
Rebuked, He finds within his soul, the comfort he must seek.
He'll love, tho'he is unloved, and he'll serve tho'badly used,
And one kind word will wipe away the times when he's abused.
Altho' his heart may break in two, his love will still be whole,
Because God gave to every dog an understanding Soul!
4:27 am
herinfernallady
well dog backwards is God so that says everything
4:27 am
rubyfoo
thank you, crossy, that brought forth some tears. However, chow chows are not forgiving. Kick one, once, and he will never come near you again or forgive
4:27 am
rubyfoo
there was a New Yorker carton say that about dog and god
4:28 am
herinfernallady
I got to hold a 13 week old fluff ball today. SO cute
4:28 am
rubyfoo
picture of a dog with a cartoon box above his head"dog = god and the cat next to him with the box saying "god = cat"
4:29 am
rubyfoo
Ruffino is now about a 25 lb fluff ball. After this past month of incredible weight gain, I can no longer pick him up!
4:29 am
herinfernallady
I prefer cats not a fan of the in your face lick lick lick
4:30 am
rubyfoo
a lot of people feel that way, but chows are so aloof that a lick from one is a big deal and Rufie is a licker LOL
4:30 am
crosshair
there is another that shows a cat and a dog being fed,and the dog is thinking"they feed me,and keep me warm,and play with me..they must be gods" and the cat is thinking "they feed me and keep me warm,and play with me,I must be god"
4:30 am
rubyfoo
did I say 25 lbs? closer to 30! and only 4 months old
4:31 am
rubyfoo

4:32 am
crosshair
this one is still under 4 months and 45 pounds and paws the size of bread and butter plates;))
4:33 am
rubyfoo
and he'd probably eat the b and b plate, too, or at least carry it around....
4:34 am
crosshair
he is already being trained not to eat shoes
4:34 am
rubyfoo
Rufie finds a shoe upstairs and then runs like crazy and takes it outside
4:34 am
rubyfoo
it is too cute not to laugh
4:35 am

(won't be so cute when he weighs 80 lbs and takes me with the shoe

6:21 am

did a lot of people finish yesterday?
6:22 am
MollyL
More than I would have guessed.
6:22 am
Brookie
Sounds like quite a few people did. I got to 631 words and then collapsed.
6:23 am
Brookie
And hi Molly and Kaplan!
6:23 am
Brookie
Need to take care of the kiddos. Poof!
6:26 am
MollyL
A little over a hundred. I can't be held accountable for accurate counting on my first cup of coffee.
6:27 am
ivesy3
never got to finish, as licekty wouldnt show all of my words ,and neither did the word list. was left with 100, and too tired to try to figure out what words i had left... kind of su cked
6:31 am
MollyL
That happened to a few people Ivesy. What a rip off. I feel bad for anyone who worked and worked to try and finish and was stumped by a non-working word list.
6:32 am
ivesy3
really made me mad.. . but oh well, just a game .
6:33 am
Kaplan the Magne
this is true.
6:33 am
MollyL
Ivesy, what browser do you use? I was wondering yesterday if this was an Internet Explorer problem.
6:33 am
Kaplan the Magne
i sometimes think that the size of the grid affects everyone's psychological state for the entire day.
6:34 am
ivesy3
explorer 8 ... i noticed a problem with puttin words in after about 400 words.. they werent showing up as entered in either spot
6:35 am
maggiej
happened to me too ivesy ... stopped at 147 to go yesterday
6:37 am
ivesy3
stopped at 100 ... well now i have learned my lesson, with a grid that big, wont plan on finishing. obvious problems
6:37 am
MollyL
Well, yesterday was certainly an interesting showing of how invested people are in solving these things.
6:37 am
EspritdJean
yesterday's grid should have been a two day allowance
6:37 am
MollyL
Ivesy, next time there is a big grid, try using Firefox and see if that helps.
6:38 am
MollyL
I agree Jean, did you have a nice birthday?
6:38 am
EspritdJean
yes, but I still have four more nights of celebrations
6:40 am
MollyL
Hooray for extended birthdays!
6:40 am
EspritdJean
I agree! This has been a first for me
6:40 am
ivesy3
good idea molly will have to remember that.. and i agree esprit..specially with the problems people were having
6:41 am
maggiej
I have a cousin who celebrates her birthday month and she sure enjoys it
6:41 am
ivesy3
am waiting patiently for my next year bd, as i can collect soc. security... this year will be a stepping stone lol
6:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
I had no time for such a grid, but it was fun finding words like telephonics.
6:42 am
MollyL
I don't have time for the big ones either Kap. But it was fun watching everyone race to the finish.
6:43 am
Kaplan the Magne
We are unlikely to have such a big grid for the next few years. what my little bit of fun was ...
6:44 am
ivesy3
actually words were easier than in the small grids. prob. becuz of all the extensions
6:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
was watching everyone start out when they saw the 744
6:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
i thought so too, could do no wrong.
6:47 am
ivesy3
me too kap, they were hilarious
6:52 am

I think I had more fun observing than actually finding words.

7:35 am

rubyfoo
Annie: I am totally inept on the computer, can only send e-mails and play a couple of games

7:41 am
rubyfoo

7:41 am
jmcnrick
i liked that part of it ruby. . . unfortunately it was a day i couldn't spend much time in babbleland
7:41 am
godthaab
I was there at the flip, and I thought "This is history in the making" I had to finish!
7:41 am
jmcnrick
but it was great to see all the lurkers come out and play and talk
7:41 am
godthaab
Someone talked about 744 T shirts.
7:41 am
rubyfoo
I thought it was all very funny and fun
7:41 am
jmcnrick
i was glad to get nbt and nbs
7:42 am
Mom
the chat was really rolling yesterday. So many different conversations going
7:42 am
Mom
Crossy was talking about t shirts
7:42 am
rubyfoo
crossy talked about t-shirts "I survived the big one of 21 April" or whatever
7:42 am
uusue2
it was fun, sorry I couldn't finish either although I did get over half way, which is probably more words than I've ever found in a grid!
7:42 am
rubyfoo
and we decided you didn't have to finish
7:42 am
jmcnrick
it was like old time mom and i hope it keeps up
7:42 am
godthaab
Ironically, I don't think I will have time to finish this one today!
7:42 am
rubyfoo
same for me, sue
7:43 am
MollyL
It was like being at a marathon and watching as people crossed the finish line. I had no interest in being in the race, but I was glad for everyone who finished. It seemed so important to them.
7:43 am
Mom
yes, jmc, it was. I really enjoyed it.
7:43 am
jmcnrick
i got it done to 500 left which seemed pretty reasonable since i went to a baseball game that went into extra innings
7:43 am
rubyfoo
half way today and a little more than half yesterday. I'm easily satisfied
7:43 am
jmcnrick
haha godthaab that is life in babbleland
7:43 am
Mom
and the Nationals won, that is much better than babbling
7:44 am
uusue2
they weren't playing the Cubs, were they?
7:44 am
jmcnrick
i found 31 words on my blackberry until the score what tied
7:44 am

7:45 am
rubyfoo
our company had Marlins season tickets but it was only the 1st 2 yrs
7:45 am
jmcnrick
WOW that must have been great to watch!
7:45 am
Mom
I have missed the camaraderiea (sp) that seems to have been missing here lately. I do enjoy you all
7:45 am
uusue2
ah, we saw a bit of the White Sox game at a restaurant but no sound, so I don't think Frank knew it was a perfect game in the making - he is a HUGE Sox fan!
7:45 am
rubyfoo
<-- loves mom
7:45 am
Anniebrook
I was jumping up and down..pretty good for an old lady...it was great
7:45 am

7:48 am
Anniebrook
kje, did you finish yesterday's grid?
7:48 am
rubyfoo
one never knows
7:48 am
Mom
it was not a hundred years ago Annie, that would make you older than dirt and you are not that old
7:48 am
Mom
matter of fact you and my dad are the same age
7:48 am
jmcnrick
it was in the 60s
7:49 am
rubyfoo
we had a lot of snow in Dec and then none for the rest of the winter. Had about 18 really cold days , then very warm in |March and miserable now. Can't generalize
7:49 am

Anniebrook
Weeeellll, not that old. harummphhh

7:49 am

7:49 am
rubyfoo
with all this rain, the house is getting filled with dirt and is starting to look older than.....
7:49 am
jmcnrick
probably depends on the dirt. . .i have some in my garden i just made last year in the compost pile

7:50 am
MollyL
Wow Mom! That will be nice.

kje
the mayo, I rarely use, expired 2/2011.... I didn't have the guts to use that, seems much iffier than mustard
8:01 am
jmcnrick
mayo is riskier than mustard but basically if it smells okay it is fine too. . . the risk with mayo is the eggs and they are not an issue with commercial mayo
8:02 am
kje
it is the problem with being single... stuff expires before you can use it all

9:46 am
hego
a spooky old English mansion type story.
9:47 am
hego
very different
10:18 am
fuzzybunny
The Night Circus is a terrific book. Not spooky at all. Well worth the investment of a few evenings!
10:19 am
hego
I liked it, very different. creative.
10:19 am

10:19 am

I continued to visit the Cirque de Reve in my dreams for a couple of months after I finished it.
10:20 am
fuzzybunny
Hi Red, you will enjoy The Night Circus.
10:20 am
hego
I can believe that Fuzzy
10:21 am
fuzzybunny
Hego, another great book is "Cutting for Stone" I can't remember the author, but I haven't been able to pick up another book yet because that one was so good.
10:22 am
hego
I rad that and loved it also.
10:23 am
hego
the Fistula foundatio is a real charity in Africa.
10:23 am
fuzzybunny
Yes, it was epic and wonderful. I had to go and learn more about Haille Sallese and the history of Ethiopia.
10:23 am
hego
They give young girls their lives back.
10:24 am
fuzzybunny
There was a PBS Frontline episode on the Fistula foundation.
10:24 am
hego
and being a nurse made even more interesting to me.
10:24 am
redturtlehead
I like front line, and also does anyone watch Independent Lens on PBS?
10:24 am
hego
I saw that1
10:25 am
fuzzybunny
I watch both Re
10:25 am
hego
women everywhere should see that Fronline.
10:25 am
fuzzybunny
I find the circumstances surronding getting a fistula very sad...
10:25 am
redturtlehead
I just discovered independent lens, I am amazed at all the different topics they cover. yesterday was about the electric car...and the development.
10:25 am
fuzzybunny
agreed
10:25 am
hego
I contributed the next day.
10:25 am
redturtlehead
agreed times three.
10:26 am
fuzzybunny
A worthwhile charity.
10:26 am
hego
It's terrible the way women in Africa suffer.
10:26 am
MollyL
My sister usually recommends good books. The Night Circus is on my "to read" list.
10:26 am

Not only in Africa, but middle east as well
10:26 am

10:27 am
fuzzybunny
You won't regret it
10:27 am

10:28 am

10:29 am
redturtlehead
yesterday was fun, but it went on an awfully long time. I never finished, but I got over 500.
10:30 am
hego
that's great!
10:30 am
hego
I noticed there wasn't a huge amount tht finished.
10:31 am
MollyL
More people finished than I thought would. I had no idea people would hunker down and commit to a grid that size. I guess I underestimated Babble Addiction.
10:32 am
redturtlehead
I had a lot of time on my hands luckily. I never pulled up Lickety so I had no chance to finish.
10:33 am
hego
without a list for long ones, I foget which words I've entered. lol
10:33 am
hego
I keep trying the same ones.
10:33 am
MollyL
I feel bad for the people whose word list froze and could not finish. What a rip off.
10:34 am
hego
oH, that's bad.
10:34 am
redturtlehead
I like Lickety but I find because I dont have expert, I dont like to keep switching screens. My grid towards the end was very slow and running scripts, but really I didnt finish because i didnt...
10:35 am
hego
I use split screen
10:35 am
hego
two windows
10:35 am
redturtlehead
I might should but...well whatever. I just do what I can, and move on!
10:36 am
hego
right attitude!
10:36 am
MollyL
It's good not to take this too seriously Red. : )
10:37 am
hego
Red has her act together
10:37 am
redturtlehead
I have so much stress right now hego and Molly, that there would be now way I could take it seriously....even right now I am working...
10:38 am
redturtlehead
I have a few surveillance screens running in the backgroumd...
10:38 am
hego
sorry to hear
10:39 am
redturtlehead
Well, I love it, I just have to get used to this.....
10:39 am

10:40 am

The library is open when school is closed?
11:54 am
ivesy3
yes. surprised they dont have us open on sundays
11:55 am
MollyL
Our libraries are run by the county. If school is closed, they are closed too. They are open on Sundays only during the school year and for a short day.
11:57 am
ivesy3
dont think we have money to be open on sundays. had some major cuts this last budget period.. we cut a few hours off our sat schedule and from children room . guess its based on population, have to stay open so many hours.

Molly, do you watch Fringe? We love it. do you know if it's going to go for a 5th season?
3:36 pm
MollyL
Yes Bich, I love Fringe. Don't know about Season 5 yet.
3:37 pm
cosdem
just checked. fox hasnt announced yet for either fringe or alcatraz
3:37 pm
bichon
If it goes through Season 5, it will run on TV

molly!!! they renewed alcaztraz!
3:38 pm
MollyL
I read that Fringe has filmed two different ends for Season 4, in case of cancellation.
3:39 pm
MollyL
I'm not surprised Alcatraz was renewed.
3:39 pm
bichon
Glad they renewed Alcatraz, but I thin Fringe is the better show. Unfortunately, not too many people watch it.
3:40 pm

yay cos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:46 pm
MollyL
You really have to be on your game to follow Fringe. This week made me think a lot.
3:47 pm
MollyL
Which is probably why people don't watch it. The general "want" is for mindless entertainment.
3:50 pm
bichon
Right Molly. I get confused too. Didn
3:51 pm
bichon
't bolivia have a baby last season. And wasn't Captain Broyles killed off on the other side?
3:52 pm
MollyL
The change in the time line, due to Peter being eradicated by The Observers changed history. The baby died and Broyles was never killed. It's confusing.
3:53 pm
bichon
Must have missed that. And Bolivia is much nicer this season
3:54 pm
MollyL
The baby story line was explained by the observer when Peter mind melded with him. I think that was two episodes ago.
3:55 pm
bichon
Where was I? Playing Babble too much
3:59 pm
MollyL
The episode where Peter melds with the dying observer was pretty cool. It explains a lot about the observers, who they are and where they came from.

4:39 pm
crosshair
One evening Mr. Rudolph Block, of New York, found himself seated at dinner alongside Mr. Percival Pollard, the distinguished critic. "Mr. Pollard," said he, "my book, _The Biography of a Dead Cow_, is published anonymously, but you can hardly be ignorant of its authorship. Yet in reviewing it you speak of it as the work of the Idiot of the Century. Do you think that fair criticism?" "I am very sorry, sir," replied the critic, amiably, "but it did not occur to me that you really might not wish the public to know who wrote it." -- Ambrose Bierce

4:53 pm
MollyL
Anyone can feel free to copy that image and do with it what they want. I don't know a thing about having t-shirts printed and I think it would be a huge task to take orders.
4:53 pm
flosey
oh my, whatever would we do
4:53 pm
MollyL
Not to mention the "money exchange" issues that have happened here.
4:54 pm

I think that is for the best, Cross. All things considered. I believe Cafe Press will take an image and put it on a t-shirt. I don't know how their quality is though. Maybe we can share ideas on how people can create their own shirts. It will be fun to see them if it's done.
5:21 pm

when i get my shirt done,i will share prices etc and give you all a pic how it came out

they do have transfer paper to print in your printer and iron onto a t-shirt, haven't used it but should work
5:29 pm
yarn lady
also fabric paints and crayons:)
5:30 pm
MollyL
That is a good idea Yarn Lady. My printer isn't high quality enough to do that, but for those who have good printers, that would be an option. I'm sure if we brain storm we will come up with lots of good ideas.
5:34 pm
yarn lady
I've used the fabric paints and they heat set easily with your iron---I only half finished yesterday but it was fun with so many words available
5:35 pm
MollyL
I am not artistic, so a printed image would work better for me. But there are many clever people here, it will be interesting to see what folks come up with.

I ca 4/5 into Babbleland la 4/4 this afternoon and made an oa 4/5 to finish the grid. I ac 4/6 this grid unlike yesterday's grid, which was bigger th 4/5 today's grid. Now here is a story of clues. My monkeys were elu4/6ed by the grid yesterday. They would not have helped even if I offered them a gold me 5/12. When my monkeys saw yesterday's grid, they ha 4/6ed their butts right on out of here. They said, "We don't give a di 4/5 if we get treats, no help from us today! We ha 4/5 big grids!" I told them that they were la 4/5 for not taking on a challenge. My ma 4/5 is telling me it is ti 4/5 for his turn on the computer. I did not ed 4/5 my story so there might be some mistakes. I hope you have made no 4/4 of my clues. I am going to change my ic 4/5 for tomorrow. Then I am going to go watch the Nicole Kidman movie Dead Ca 4/6 for the rest of the ni 4/4.
