someone earlier actually did nbt in 18 words....i was stunned.
2:23 am
cosdem
30 words for me.. usual is 33 or so
2:23 am
dart001
i dont think i could ignore all the other words i would see to try to do it that way
2:23 am
grannyrose
i'm still stunned, cos, good playing
2:24 am
cosdem
oh i didnt have nbt! but now i do.. was missing frst col A lol got ax4
2:24 am
grannyrose
lol, dart, neither can i. i prefer to play tile by tile, getting the max i can before moving to the next one.
2:25 am
cosdem
if i see a big word i add it even if i already checked the tile it starts at
2:25 am
dart001
i just type them as i see them...combos plurals etc
2:26 am
grannyrose
can't afford a grey moment in babble.....nudge, nudge, wink, wink
2:26 am
dart001
yep...as i get older...find the things i leave for later...sometimes forget 'em
2:27 am
cosdem
i try to get nbt/nbs first then 2nd thing i do is go back and make sure each tile has at elast 2 words found .. then i choose a letter and zone in
2:28 am
cosdem
routine :P
2:29 am
grannyrose
yup, routine is a good word, compulsive...obsessive....stick-in-the\n-mud....just a few more
2:30 am
cosdem
do u know what the other A is besides ax4 from 1st col?
2:30 am
dart001
and if i leave them for later...i think i've already typed them in... and those are the ones i cant find then and drive me nuts when i do because i thought i had them already
2:30 am
grannyrose
i like the nice surprise i get after my first run through the grid, and i see how many left i have to go.
2:31 am
cosdem
ah duh i had the pt not pl
2:31 am
dart001
same here granny
2:31 am
cosdem
now each tile has 2 or more words.. time for the real work
2:32 am
grannyrose
lately, especially the biggies, i'm very surprised to find i usually have about only 60 to go. my vocab. has certainly increased since i started playing this game.
2:33 am
cosdem
so has mine
2:33 am
grannyrose
and dart...i recently read sir walter scott's rob roy...enable is definitely of scottish extraction.
2:33 am
cosdem
and my WWF skills are better :P
2:34 am
dart001
more you play...more you remember
2:35 am
dart001
a agree that a lot of those ha-- words could be....but it seems like a lot of the real weird words/unwords ..if you pronounce them they could be phonetic
2:35 am
grannyrose
yeah, i suppose so...but there are an awful lot i still forget....and when i do find them later, i sit here groaning out loud....now there's a new abbreviation....GOL....how cool is that??
2:36 am
dart001
haes-haze...haet-hate...etui-etwee etc
2:36 am
cosdem
poofier isn't a word? hm fine.
2:36 am
grannyrose
trust me dart....a lot of the words are scottish, written as they would be pronounced with a scot's accent.

I only was able to celebrate between husbands!

why are you sad, sprite?

Oh sprite, Rob is your husband. I am glad he is doing so well. Sometimes folks call Bobby Rob since his name is Rob.

6:12 am
sprite
shaky because of yesterday's full day of therapy group. And sad because I had posted a very sweet thing on my son's FB page, which originally was made by a group called 'single moms of autistic children' and now he is mad because he says he is not autistic. And has removed it from his page. Just because of the tiny bottom byline...
6:12 am
rubyfoo
no no, don't worry about it. It is one of my pleasures writing to him from time to time'
6:13 am
stidmama
Hey all, what new year? Rosh hoshanah?
6:13 am
sprite
hiya Stiddie!!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs*
6:13 am
rubyfoo
it's nice to have two New Years
6:13 am
sprite
happy new year, Ruby. Maybe you can teach me how and we can celebrate together next year?
6:13 am
rubyfoo
sprite: teenagers are teenagers!
6:13 am
sprite
I like that, Annie. *hugs* to Bobby.
6:13 am
stidmama
Kids, sprite... They take so many innocent things the wrong way.
6:14 am
sprite
true, ruby. But this mother of a teenager feels damn hurt.
6:14 am
rubyfoo
I don't really know how' my family was very secular and father was probably an atheist although we never talked about it
6:14 am
sprite
true, stiddie. At least my daughter didn't react like that... she loved it.
6:14 am
rubyfoo
my son has decided to be Jewish although his father (kelley) certainly was not
6:15 am
sprite
well we have a year to figure it out... make our own combination of rites and traditions? Think about it, if it is important to you, dear.
6:15 am
stidmama
:-). Well, that is better than most people's batting average...
6:15 am
sprite
so... let's invite your son too!
6:15 am
rubyfoo
it is hard not to be hurt by our children
6:15 am
rubyfoo
you are so sweet and also ecumenical, sprite. A lot can happen in a year!!!!!
6:15 am
sprite
*hugs stiddie* Also true. Ah well. Being hurt on a shaky day isn't strange.
6:16 am
rubyfoo
he won't marry his very-long-time companion because she would insist on a Cathollic wedding
6:16 am
stidmama
So true, ruby. And sorry about shaky, sprite. Njust too much moving around?
6:17 am
rubyfoo
My son is very steady and we have a good relationship, but his "companion" is another story
6:17 am
sprite
very true, ruby. Well, let's keep it in mind. It is my firm believe that the kind of religion does not matter. It is the love that counts, and the sincerity and integrity.
6:17 am
rubyfoo
I try really hard, but she is a "hard case|"
6:18 am
rubyfoo
and knowing that it's the same God for whichever eligion
6:18 am
sprite
stiddie: yes, exactly. Just started with a parttime therapy group, once a week a whole day. Very intensive for me. Too many people, too many feelings, and lots of confrontations. But I think it is worth it.
6:19 am
rubyfoo
I had a lot of therapy, too, sprite, but never did group. Couldn't deal with everybody else's sh**
6:19 am
sprite
me neither, ruby. We don't talk a lot about sh**. It is a do group and not a talk group. But I still pick up what others feel, sadly.
6:20 am
rubyfoo
you are extremely sensitive, sprite, and pick up on others' problems. You focused quickly on DH's stuff when you were here
6:21 am
stidmama
I am going to try to get back to sleep. I miss you all, so glad to find friends when I wake in a panic and cant calm down easily. It really helps. Sprite, I hope it will get easier over time. I find it is hard to keep my walls up in large groups when I am out of practice, but it is easier now.
6:21 am
sprite
yes, he touched my heart, ruby, as did you. You are very beautiful people.
6:21 am
rubyfoo
I am much less sympathetic
6:21 am
sprite
(((((((((((((((((((stiddie))))))))))))\n)))
Take care, dear one. *hugs*
6:21 am
rubyfoo
I am crying, sprite....
6:22 am
sprite
no silly, you are not. You are you, and Burt is Burt. And I love you both lots.
6:22 am
sprite
*holds ruby close* Love you, my friend. Never forget how beautiful you are.
6:22 am
rubyfoo
I wish I could be more sympathietic to him, but I am overwhelmed by "his" stuff which has landed on my head
6:23 am
rubyfoo
happily, his daughter is coming on the 26th to celebrate his birthday. She wqill surely cheer me up
6:24 am
sprite
ruby, nobody, and I repeat nobody, can judge a relationship between other people. You and Burt have grown into this through years and years, with lots of pain and joy and everything. *hugs*
6:24 am
sprite
is his birthday on the 26th?
6:25 am
sprite
and what is yours again?
6:25 am
rubyfoo
and I will suddenly be old, no longer middle-aged!!
6:26 am
sprite
there, written down, will put you guys on the birthday calendar later today. So I won't forget! :D

I have a riddle for you about my health: I am swollen, so much that it hurts to walk in the mornings. my doc said it should hurt more at night, but it doesnt. It used to not be so bad in the afternoon, but not it does go away. The changes in my life: menopause after stopping birth control, I am 48, multi vitamin from GNC, and now, after this has been going on for about 3 weeks, i have added green coffee beans and raspberry Kenton extract pills. it really hurts to walk now.
6:35 am
sprite
I cannot answer that riddle. Back to the doctor and if he/she does not know, go see a specialist. This does not sound like something to wait out.
6:36 am
suefrad625
I was afraid it was high blood pressure, but I am 120/80
6:36 am

6:39 am

6:39 am

cute story about my brother and Buddy Guy - (give me a minute to type it in) -
3:14 pm
uusue2
my brother was visiting me and wanted to see Buddy Guy play at his club, so he called to see if he was playing that night. The person who answered the phone said he didn't know, but would put Buddy Guy on the phone so my brother could ask him himself - turned out he wasn't playing, but my brother was thrilled to talk to him!
3:15 pm
uusue2
this was a good 30 years ago, around 1980
3:15 pm
torgone
That's pretty cool ..
3:16 pm
MollyL
I would tell that story to strangers if it had happened to me.
3:16 pm

I am almost done with grid so I'll be an ai 5/12 and ai4/5 you with a story ri4/7 w/clues.My husband was a high school dr7/40. My husband's decision to not finish high school has effected his adult life because it is hard for him to get a job. He was ax 4/10 from his last job fo 4/8 years ago and has been out of work since. I blame him for getting fi 5/18, but he said it was not his fault. He is in di4/5 need of a job. I think that it's unfa4/7 that I have to pay for everything.He's putting both of us into the po 4/5 house and he does not even give one io4/4 about it Hubby just fa4/7s around all day long playing his stupid Farmville or watching sp5/12 on the TV. Hubby doesn't realize how lucky he is to have a ro4/7 over his head. I wish I could kick him off my tu 4/8! He is such a tu 4/6! I think it would be a good id4/5 to leave him. He has ir4/5 me for the past few years. Dr 4/5s! Husband has been po4/6ing because he wants the computer. I am af 6/30 I have to give husband computer before he causes a ri 4/4. I am going to go watch "Ra 6/21s of the Lost Ark". *Po4/8*

i can quite understand that, BR
9:44 pm
Minveryork
I tried fedex w/Babble too. I also think the comparative form of po 4/8 should be a word. For example, my hair was po4/8ier in the 1980s. Also, the past tense of that word should be accepted as well. They are real words
