Oh ok. Was wondering if some would be needed.

negativeneil

Glad to see they're not... thank you.

12:37 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:38 am

rururocks

can clues get unemployment?

12:38 am

Erda

Some are ALWAYS needed....

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

very helpful; ty lickety

12:38 am

negativeneil

You're waffling now, ru.

12:38 am

negativeneil

No, Erda... Lickety's list will be up in an hour.

12:39 am

licketySplitAUS

Fired = Launched. Here in Sydney, our daylight savings kicked in over the weekend, so I had to adjust clues to be generated an hour later than usual (by clock time anyway)

12:40 am

negativeneil

I see Lickety. Thanks.

12:40 am

negativeneil

It's good of you to provide them.

12:40 am

negativeneil

Oh, they're up already... cool.

12:41 am

licketySplitAUS

Your welcome, it doesn't take any time off me now - I have it automated, but it took much tweaking over a long period of time to get it this way ;-)

12:41 am

negativeneil

I bet. I don't even know how you'd write such a program... mystery to me.

12:42 am

rururocks

we like it if you have to sweat a little lickety..lol

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

truly appreciate your effort and your "tweaking" :)

12:42 am

licketySplitAUS

Yeah - I haven't worked out how to deal with the timezones around the world yet - It means I have to adjust it like 3 times a year ;-)

12:43 am

negativeneil

Ha. That sounds like work!

12:43 am

licketySplitAUS

OR I could just run it later every day ;-)

12:43 am

Erda

There must be some way to automate it...no?

12:43 am

licketySplitAUS

But I think people like to have it available at the flip

12:43 am

ursh

Hello all and many thanks lickety - would hardly ever finsih if it were not for your clues

12:43 am

negativeneil

Yeah... they might worry.

12:44 am

licketySplitAUS

No problem. It looks like it didn't run over the weekend - Oh I know - My son hijacked my PC to play games all weekend!

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

LOL wondered if you were on vacation

12:45 am

Erda

Yes, no Lickety clues all weekend!

12:45 am

licketySplitAUS

Well I was on vacation from my computer!

12:45 am

negativeneil

Oh? I didn't know or I would have done a list.

12:45 am

licketySplitAUS

Ok, I gotta get back to work, ENjoy, looks like a nice smallish one

ursh

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

rbud

aha! nbt at last

3:36 am

sprite

good job :)

3:37 am

rbud

70 words in, just now getting it, lol

3:37 am

sprite

lol same here, and I still don't have a single 8.

3:38 am

rbud

I have them both thanks to g'rose

3:39 am

sprite

good for you.

3:39 am

rbud

do you want some hints?

3:40 am

sprite

hmm... yes, a hint for the 8s would be great, actually! Thanks :)

3:41 am

rbud

they are both plurals - pa7 is based on a pa4 - if two of you own 50% each of a company you are equal pa7's (or pa8)

3:42 am

sprite

yay, thank you!

3:43 am

Dianne

in8 - a body in motion tends to remain in motion......

3:43 am

sprite

thanks Dianne, and hi!

3:44 am

Dianne

Hi sprite - how are you feeling?

3:45 am

sprite

better. On the mend and regaining some energy. I have promised myself a nice nap later today :)
And you, Dianne? How are you?

3:46 am

Dianne

All good here.

3:47 am

sprite

am glad

3:47 am

rbud

heehee, today I napped right through suppertime - the family was at a loss as to what to do with themselves for dinner, lol

3:48 am

sprite

lol! Good for you, rbud!

3:48 am

rbud

good for them to have to fend for themselves now and then

3:48 am

sprite

very true. They won't take you for granted that way

3:49 am

rbud

really didn't mean to, had an alarm set on my cell phone, but I slept right on through it! getting good at that.

3:49 am

sprite

sounds like you really needed the sleep

3:50 am

sprite

I submit for our babble dictionary: rapitate: make it go faster

3:50 am

rbud

guess I did. but here I am up late as a result. Oh well! :)

3:51 am

sprite

:)

3:51 am

rbud

good word, I like it!

3:51 am

sprite

Enable doesn't, silly enable

3:53 am

rbud

so uncooperative, that enable! :P

3:55 am

sprite

very! But always a handy thing to nag about.

4:02 am

sprite

and I feel like nagging. My son is having a total teenager tantrum phase. And the weather is suddenly COLD!

4:05 am

rbud

well, feel free to nag as much as you like, happy to listen. (((hugs)))

4:05 am

sprite

:D That was it, actually... nothing big, just frustrating. He is our oldest, so we are still learning how to handle it too.

4:06 am

rbud

never did learn how to handle ours, he's 21 and still a brat at times.

4:07 am

sprite

amazing. So that is... 5 more years! Arrrrghhhh. Ah well, we will survive. And I won't stop loving him.

4:09 am

rbud

it's that mom thing - no matter how trying they are, we still love them. I know how that is.

4:11 am

sprite

it is wonderful. I sometimes look at what happens and then at how I feel about him. Frustrated, angry, sad... but still loving him just as much.

4:16 am

rbud

hubby doesn't quite get it, he gets snarly and accuses me of siding with the boy against him, when what I really do is try not to take either side. it's hard. they've been at odds for years.

4:17 am

sprite

I think I should stop trying to explain to him why he must do his tasks, same as we all. I guess he knows very well and is just being a jerk.

4:19 am

rbud

oh, yes, that's a big one here, too. every time we need them to do something - like the same darn thing every week, lol! - it's a big hassle. no one wants to do the hard and icky stuff, it just has to be done. think I like dirty dishes? don't be silly! your turn!

4:20 am

sprite

right! Exactly that!

4:21 am

rbud

litterboxes, take out the trash - they'd let it pile up endlessly if not harped at to do it - hate to think what their houses will look like one day! :P

4:22 am

sprite

omg indeed. And the laundry. Keeping it in their room for weeks and then dumping the whole sh*tload in the bathroom at once. Demanding it back right away because 'they have nothing to wear'.

4:24 am

rbud

arrgh, yes! except our son tends to leave it all over the place, then has to have it in less than an hour for a band gig, and of course there's a hole that needs patched, lol

4:26 am

Dianne

I need help. I have ta x 10, te x 2, th x 3, ti x 3, to x 1 and tr x 6. I am missing one 5 letter T word. Help, please.

4:26 am

sprite

right. And somehow everything that goes wrong for him is our fault. Last night he couldn't sleep because he was coughing, he said this morning. And I had not informed after his coughing, hence it was my fault he had not slept.

4:27 am

sprite

sorry Dianne, I haven't finished the Ts yet. Lickety is up though... maybe that could help?

4:28 am

rbud

Lickety says ti x 4

4:29 am

sprite

I submit titteen: a busty teenager

4:30 am

rbud

lol! the kind that chase our son after band gigs! ;p

4:30 am

sprite

exactly :D

4:30 am

Dianne

I have one ti5 that is a giant and one ti5 that is a skin condition. Any idea what the other 5 could be?

4:30 am

sprite

already full in the blouse, but still empty between the ears

4:31 am

sprite

a chemical way to separate fluids?

4:33 am

sprite

buste + again prefix

4:33 am

rbud

yes! ty, didn't have that - the alt. British spelling

4:34 am

sprite

yes, that one. Sorry for the awkward clue

4:35 am

rbud

did you get it, Dianne?

4:35 am

Dianne

no - today is my dense day :)

4:35 am

o-o

ti + most of a wood producer

4:36 am

sprite

hi BabbleRabble, glad to see you. How's today unfolding for you?

4:37 am

Dianne

Got it - thought I typed that in earlier. Thanks for the help. That was my last word.

4:37 am

sprite

wtg Dianne!

4:38 am

o-o

Hello, sprite ... no acute distress

4:38 am

Dianne

Any clues needed before I go?

4:38 am

sprite

am happy to hear that.

4:39 am

o-o

Congrats, Dianne

4:39 am

Dianne

Thanks BR

4:39 am

sprite

not for me, I'm good. Happily plodding away at my last 3.

4:40 am

o-o

Finished some time ago ... not happy with these puny grids

4:40 am

sprite

no... they are over before you have really started

4:41 am

Dianne

I agree BR. Although I hope tomorrow's isn't too big as I have to go to China in the afternoon.

4:41 am

sprite

wow... sounds good, Dianne!

4:42 am

sprite

fireworks.

4:42 am

Dianne

good going sprite

4:43 am

Dianne

O.K. see you tomorrow.

4:43 am

sprite

till tomorrow, Dianne, and if I don't see you before you leave: have a safe and relaxed journey.

4:45 am

sprite

must love and leave you... bye all, have a good day and/or a peaceful evening.

4:45 am

rbud

yay, sprite, congrats!

4:45 am

rbud

and farewell for now. :)

5:14 am

rbud

ahhhh, fw, and off I go. good luck to all! :)

5:33 am

smores

good morning all - short one today

5:36 am

o-o

Hello, smores.

5:37 am

smores

Happy Monday to you

5:37 am

o-o

ty ... you also

5:39 am

smores

I finally broke down and went pro - missed the grid

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Good morning BR and smores.

5:41 am

Scrabbler

BR--have you received snow yet?

5:43 am

smores

Hi Srabbler

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Yay for going pro.

5:44 am

smores

:)

5:45 am

smores

still not a "pro" though :)

5:45 am

Scrabbler

I went pro within a few hours of being here. Instant addiction.

5:45 am

Scrabbler

Soon you will know all the silly Babblets.

5:46 am

smores

"babblets" what you refer to as odd words?

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Like to4/4.

5:47 am

Scrabbler

A lot of 4-letter words that recur in grids: roti, rotl, hisn, naoi, inti, inia...

5:48 am

smores

so it doesn't refer to the word being odd but the words frequency in the grid

5:49 am

Scrabbler

I would say those words are odd.

5:49 am

Scrabbler

My vocabulary has increased since playing Babble.

5:49 am

smores

yes - they defiantely are

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Where do you live?

5:49 am

smores

yes - this is a great brain exercise

5:49 am

smores

Indiana

5:50 am

smores

and you?

5:50 am

Scrabbler

I don't think we have any Babblers from Indiana. My father went to Purdue, and taught me to loathe Notre Dame.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

I live in a rural area 35 miles outside of Buffalo.

5:50 am

smores

:)

5:51 am

smores

easy to forget there is so much rural in NY

5:52 am

Scrabbler

There are lots of rural areas in NY state, and it is beautiful!

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Hills, farms, forests....stunningly gorgeous now with leaves at peak colors.

5:53 am

smores

yes, I have been through there, unfortunately didn't get to spend nearly enough time

5:55 am

smores

It's just I think most people think of NY city and don't realize ( or remember, as I did) that it is so much more

5:55 am

Scrabbler

NYC is "down there" on the map, and I dislike urban areas, even driving in Buffalo.

5:56 am

o-o

What are the benefits of loathing?

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Just to give an opinion

5:56 am

smores

? not sure BR

5:58 am

Scrabbler

I am almost halfway and it has not been easy.

6:01 am

smores

I've barely begun, seem to be doing everything except the grid

6:02 am

o-o

Good luck, smores ... have to leave before I get in trouble.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

The smaller grids are the toughest--words must be teased out, and there are more odd words.

6:03 am

smores

Br - get in trouble?

6:05 am

smores

are you still here BR?

6:06 am

smores

guess we lost him Scrabbler

6:07 am

Scrabbler

We all need a break or have things to do or just get bored. I rarely finish a grid anymore. For my first year or so I compulsively finished each grid. Now I aim for halfway.

6:08 am

smores

I know, I'm in and out a lot during the day

6:08 am

smores

about to go now to get my daughter ready for school

6:09 am

Scrabbler

And I must leave for work in 15 min so I must get ready. Bye, enjoy the day.

6:09 am

smores

you too - have a Happy Monday :)

6:41 am

7:46 am

rubyfoo

I guess it was Truman v. Dewey in that election

7:46 am

I said, Hooey on Dewey

7:46 am

rubyfoo

this is a very tough grid for me! too many t's

7:47 am

Anniebrook

I didnt vote then but I remember the upset

7:47 am

rubyfoo

7:47 am

Anniebrook

Hooey is much more mature, ruby

"pewey" is very little kid

8:03 am

hurshy

rubyfoo

aaah, brain is turning to mush

8:03 am

hurshy

isn't brain pretty much mush in the first place?

8:04 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately true

8:05 am

hurshy

na6/33 is a nice word to have - the kind that's common, but doesn't often show up in a grid - may be my favorite sort

8:06 am

Omphaloskepsis is contemplation of one's navel as an aid to meditation.

in7 is what keeps me from getting anything done

8:21 am

the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.

Hurshy, has your husband had his checkup?

8:26 am

rubyfoo

didn't know that

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I am trying not to scream at staff here at this clinic. Mother arrived 1.5 hrs late for 11 and 1130 appts for her kids, now the staff wants me to double-book and squeeze her kids into my afternoon schedule. Uh, don't get mad at me, who was irresponsible?

12:09 pm

crosshair

i can trace our line right back to just before the year 1000,but there is not much glory in it since most of my ancestors are of a unsavory sort

12:09 pm

poor scwabby,reminds me of my last wait in the dr,s office where i cooled my heels for 2 hours past my appt time

12:18 pm

cybernan

any clues wanted before I leave?

12:20 pm

cybernan

guess not - bye everyone, hagd

12:25 pm

Scrabbler

I am so mad--secretary is mad at me for not squeezing these kids in. What about being disappointed with mother--she wasted 1 hr of time this morning. That is 4 sick appts.

12:30 pm

Deeha

I used to occasionally do reception for a local mental health clinic -really hard to get an appointment. One morning we had 9 appts and not one person turned up. It is so frustrating

12:33 pm

MollyL

The mother is wrong. And if she is accommodated this time, she will surely be late next time too.

12:38 pm

Scrabbler

Yes--and the secretary is making this my problem.

12:39 pm

smores

as a mother who was sometimes late for dr appt (never an hour late) I can't beleive she woudl expect that

12:39 pm

smores

so sorry scrabbler

12:40 pm

smores

she should be upset with the mother not you

12:41 pm

Scrabbler

There is no expectation of accountability for patients/parents--there should be consequences for poor decisions.

12:45 pm

Bugsaw

as much as this frustrates you, Scrabbler, I will bet that more patients have been made to wait for hours after their appointments because the doctor is running late, so my suggestion is...........

12:47 pm

Bugsaw

to have a big sign in the waiting room that says, "the doctor is not able to see you on time because (fill in the number) patients did not come on time and demanded to be seen when they arrived.

12:50 pm

kje

scrab - check out FB before you head back to work

12:58 pm

MollyL

I think it is simply a matter of telling a patient who is an hour late that the missed their time slot and can wait until everyone else has been seen, reschedule or see another doctor.

12:58 pm

MollyL

*they missed

1:00 pm

smores

agreed Molly

1:00 pm

MollyL

Otherwise, everyone else ends up paying for one person's inconsiderate behavior.

1:01 pm

smores

unless one of my kids was really ill, I would never have had the nerve still be seen that late

1:02 pm

MollyL

I'm guessing if your kid was really ill, your first priority would be getting them to the doctor on time.

1:03 pm

smores

very true :)
