6:51 am
smores
oh, and good morning to ya Shallow :)
6:51 am
crosshair
lol smores,i have caught myelf looking for more words on a finished grid on several occasions
6:51 am
crosshair

6:53 am
smores
yeah, I was searching away, odd there are only 2 a's
6:56 am
crosshair
yes,i found the one to do with love,but cannot find the second one
6:56 am
smores
soap plant
6:57 am
smores
or better as Shallow clued, a+ burrowing creature
6:59 am
Shallow One
actually i prefer the descriptive clues - the others are often just a hairs breadth short of spelling it out
6:59 am
lynxxx
or a & small dark raised area on your skin (and not freckles)
7:00 am
Shallow One
and when im at that stage blind or stuck with a babblet i dont hesitate to resort to morewords
7:00 am
smores
me too Shallow, although I sometimes need it just a hairs breadth short of spelling it out...lol
7:01 am
smores
nice lynxxx
7:01 am
lynxxx
love the Morewords
7:02 am
Shallow One
oh, i do too but as clue i prefer the trickier ones, and if im clueless - well theres the trust alternative
7:02 am
crosshair
ty smores
7:02 am

or a+ a yummy mexican sauce made with chocolate...lol
7:02 am
Shallow One
*trusty
7:03 am
smores
welcome crossy :)
7:03 am
crosshair
i tend to do sescriptive clues unless it is a really tough one
7:03 am
crosshair
descriptive
7:03 am
lynxxx
I've played too long I guess, I like the tricky ones too but seriously too many people used to complain and want really obvious ones - i caved in to it I guess
7:04 am
crosshair
there is a fine balance between a good clue and just spelling it out
7:05 am
Shallow One
suppose so - some clues can be trickier than the word clued ;) (succeded at that several times, i think)
7:06 am
crosshair
and i hate clues like this: "can i have a clue for the cr 11/65?" you plural the cr 10/58..."ok,how about a clue for that?" oh,it is the pt of the cr8/44..and it goes on and on till you say forget it,i have not listed,i will just hunt for the base word on my own thank you
7:07 am
crosshair
never assume someone has listed when cluing
7:08 am
crosshair
or has any cr words at all for that matter
7:09 am
smores
sorry, crossy, I've done that b4
7:10 am
crosshair
i think we all have at one time or another
7:10 am
crosshair
so,i just split the difference and do descriptives
7:10 am
smores

7:25 am

10:19 am
rubyfoo
that's good news
10:19 am
jmcnrick
how's your family TO everyone okay?
10:19 am
rubyfoo
has anybody heard from Dorens in NJ?
10:19 am
72 Temple Owl
she is ok. no power, tree damaged house some
10:20 am
uusue2
not since yesterday, ruby, her power was out
10:20 am
jmcnrick
dorens lost power and i have yet to hear it was on again
10:20 am
uusue2
someone was saying it could be 10 days before it was on again - seems to me she's had some other multi-day outages recently
10:20 am
72 Temple Owl
mine was out for 24 hours
10:21 am
jmcnrick
the biggest impact on me was that the call center that runs the election protection hotline was in nyc and we had trouble with the phones as a result
10:21 am
jmcnrick
she had a big outage this summer during derecho
10:21 am
rubyfoo
my sister, who lives in Queens, was lucky -- no loss of power and the big tree in front of her house didn't fall
10:21 am
72 Temple Owl
my immediate family is ok, south jersey lagoon house a big question mark, extended family near north jersey reiver flood unknown
10:22 am
uusue2
oh, that's a relief, ruby!
10:22 am
jmcnrick
i have not heard if my niece had issues with her apartment in brooklyn since she is stranded in manhattan
10:22 am
jmcnrick
glad to hear TO
10:22 am

North Dakota put the Navy Reserves on alert. Looking for a ship and water should worse come to worse.
10:23 am
rubyfoo

10:23 am
uusue2
North Dakota has Navy Reserves?
10:23 am
72 Temple Owl
north dakota has storm issues or is that some sort of attempt at a joke
10:23 am
jmcnrick
*wondering where they park their ship*
10:24 am

No active Navy

10:25 am
uusue2
well, if BR needs the Navy the rest of us are, shall we say, sunk
10:25 am
jmcnrick
yes the fire in Queens is frightening
10:26 am
uusue2

10:26 am

There were high winds in Ontario, though, carleekat put a link up to some pictures from her town
10:26 am
rubyfoo
so did I, TO
10:27 am
jmcnrick
too bad. . . at least most of the storm has moved on so they can deal with the issues that have arisen
10:27 am
72 Temple Owl
ah, i see, a hit and run snipe
10:27 am
o-o
North Dakota does have a Navy, TO. Take your crap elsewhere.

... nothing much happened up here except for one fatality in Toronto when a pedestrian was hit by flying debris
10:27 am
uusue2
and I heard from my dad yesterday, he was ok but had no power, but haven't heard anything from him today. Yesterday his living room was at 65 degrees, which is ok but if it gets much cooler than that I worry about him, he is 91 after all
10:28 am
72 Temple Owl
i will do as i please your joke about the storm is in questionable taste
10:28 am
jmcnrick
goodness! goes to show you should stay home in a big storm
10:28 am

... no major power outages ... and my street which is crowded with one hundred year old maples which have all seen better days didn't lose any major branches

11:51 am
72 Temple Owl
well, cats need to be celebrated every day. actually, if you ask them , they need to bo HONORED. it's their due.

I've been trying to use pictures that I took, it is possible they're too big or something?

too big is certainly a plausible explanation

I've been watching the news out of NJ -- what complete devastation! My heart goes out to all those people who have lost everything - it will take them years to get back on track. I sure hope the rescue effort has reached that poor mother with the 7 month old twins and no food for them. I hope she is still nursing, but it didn't sound like it.

Molls. I guess you are not able to go to the meetup
4:22 pm

I wish I could. But it's the same day as my daughter-in-laws birthday, girls day/night out. So sorry. I hope you have a big turn out.
4:22 pm

it does not look like it will be a big turn out :(
4:23 pm

meetup is in the grid :0 too bad it doesn't count
4:23 pm
periwinkle
so it is
4:23 pm
MollyL
Really? I'm surprised. There are so many people central to that location.
4:24 pm
periwinkle
yes, but obviously people are busy doing other things. margiold is not going. dc is not coming. don't think jmc is either.
4:25 pm
periwinkle
the location is just fine but timing is everything. don't know if Brookie would be willing to change the date. I will ask here. but now we are coming into the major holidays.
4:26 pm
periwinkle
so far it is Brookie, me, hego and her husband and Judi from Del. I (at least I think she is coming) and someone else contacted Brookie. I think that is 6
4:26 pm
MollyL
People seem to be busier this time of year than they do other times. I'm so sorry your turn out is not what you hoped for.
4:26 pm
periwinkle
there were 8 people at the meetup I arranged in 2010
4:26 pm
periwinkle
I know Brookie is disappointed
4:26 pm
periwinkle
8 was a good number
4:27 pm
periwinkle
she was expecting 10-15 but I knew that woulde not happen
4:27 pm
MollyL
Wow, no one else from Jersey? Or Pennsylvania? I'm sure you will have fun though.
4:28 pm
periwinkle
I have never been to the Riverfront Market. will take me at least 45 min to an hour but It should be fun and there are other things to do around there
4:29 pm
periwinkle
not all Babblers are on FB. so either Brookie or I (or is it me) post a reminder in the chat daily.
4:29 pm

As long as we're tripping down memory lane...Do you remember the name of the person who faked a boyfriend or some such nonsense?
4:41 pm
gramma
Maybe she played under two diff. names
4:43 pm
MollyL
Must have been before my time, Gramma. Unfortunately, it's very easy to "fake" stuff on the internet. And people are very gullible.
4:44 pm
KatieMcG
I remember it happening but not her name, all very strange
4:45 pm
gramma
It was quite the scandal at the time.
4:46 pm
KatieMcG
wasn't there another one couple of people we thought were the same ones pretending to be friends? maybe not my memory fails me lol
4:46 pm
bichon
I don't remember that, I've been around for a while
4:47 pm
MollyL
The worst thing I have seen here is the "arrangement" to collect money for a certain player in need, and that money never getting to that person. I think that caused a lot of distrust here and chat hasn't been the same since it happened.
4:47 pm
uusue2
hi again all!
4:47 pm

Hi bichon and uusue

4:48 pm
KatieMcG
I missed all that Molly I know who it was meant for but didn't realise that it hadn't reached them
4:49 pm
MollyL
Well Katie, that is how the story was told. I know a lot of people felt deceived by the whole thing. Shame.
4:49 pm
uusue2
Yes, that whole episode was distressing.
4:49 pm
KatieMcG
We have had controversy over the years. JC divided people. There was a guy who used to play (and I can't believe I have forgotten his name as we were 'babble' close) who used to type in German and Dutch quite a lot which caused a stir and other fall outs that have happened along the way
4:50 pm
uusue2
On the other hand, we had an awesome meetup at Bugsaw's this summer - I was SOOOO happy that I was able to go! And I would totally be going to peri's meetup if I were still retired.
4:50 pm

hi sue, any news about Frank?
4:51 pm

4:51 pm

Nothing caught my eye in the rankings. It was quite a while ago

thanks, katie - we are trying to stay positive but it is hard
4:55 pm
KatieMcG
We have been through some stuff as a community, births, marriages, break ups, illnesses, losses of loved ones and even losing some of our own, that's what usually shows up how strong a community we are.

that is the name of a town near here
4:59 pm
KatieMcG
I remember when I first was single I would play late into the night as I lived on my own for the first time ever and hurshy would clue me whilst I worked with a printed list and a word book. Amazing how much that helped through a difficult period
4:59 pm
KatieMcG
And TO has ALWAYS been here :)
5:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
! I feel that old , too! ;)
5:00 pm
MollyL
It seems from your stories of the original days, things were more intimate then.
5:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
remember when not everyone finished? and BJ'slist?
5:00 pm
gramma
It was a smaller group
5:01 pm
MollyL
The majority of chat now is clue requests and cluing, which is difficult to join in on if you like to find words on your own.
5:01 pm
KatieMcG
It was BJ's list I used to print out and I very very rarely finished (no change there then). I had a hamster called Fuggles who played in his playpen at my feet whilst I did the grid.
5:02 pm
uusue2
well, it may not be the good old days, but I have found a lot of friends here, and support, and am very grateful to have all of you in my life.
5:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
seems lots os folks were here to fill a void le4 by hard times
5:02 pm
gramma
I printed out the list also. And I find comfort in my fellow Babbleonians
5:03 pm
KatieMcG
It was a smaller group but everyone tended to come on at the same time of day so you had small close groups and I see that now as well. Not sure it has changed that much it's just the people who change. Winter is coming and we will have a flurry of new people
5:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
so some come and some go and when the need goes the nature of the realationship changes
5:04 pm
gramma
Sometimes I feel like there are so many people chatting that I don't know. I just stay quiet

I'm off to bed as hubby has already gone up. He's not feeling too good (man flu) and his team are losing in the soccer so a bit of sympathy will go a long way tonight. take care all and remember today is tomorrow's good old days
5:09 pm

my goodness kaite, how many babblers have we helped through such crises?
5:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
well hopefully helped, sometimes the familiar is a help
5:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
night kaite and all
5:11 pm
KatieMcG
you are right TO it is a place of safety when people need it and I hope we have helped. I have laughed and cried with people and exposed more of myself here than I would to anyone but my closest loved ones and have never felt judged. I still miss Nancy Boy and FM but again that is part of real life when you lose someone who touched you
5:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
nearly a year for fm. but some folks take exception to that type of talk so i will light my candle and keep silent.

7:02 pm
Lizlin
Hi again - back from breakfast - off to walk on the beach soon - it's a hard life! Believe me, I know how lucky I am!
7:03 pm
Bugsaw
sounds like a great life Lizlin
7:04 pm
Lizlin
It is - but I realise it even more after seeing all the devastation on the east coast - and after the cyclone just north of here not so long ago.
7:05 pm
Bugsaw
appreciating what we have is often overlooked isn't it?
7:05 pm
Lizlin
So true - need to grasp every moment
7:07 pm
jmcnrick
*lounges on roof deck with a glass of Jack*
7:08 pm

Sounds good to me!
7:08 pm

<==actually sitting in front room waiting in vain for trick or treaters
7:08 pm
MollyL
What? Do you toss candy over the dege to the kids at the door?
7:08 pm
Bugsaw
JMC so good to see you enjoying the day after all the devastation we are seeing on the news
7:08 pm
jmcnrick
i was unscathed. . .
7:09 pm
Lizlin
We had one group of 7 kids - all at the same time and no one else - quite happy about that!
7:09 pm
Bugsaw
do you get many kids usually jmc?
7:10 pm
MollyL
I had some cute younger ones. They are my favorite. They are so into Halloween. : )
7:10 pm
Lizlin
Delighted that you were unscathed - hope that's true of many
7:10 pm
Bugsaw
we hardley get any because just down the road is a whole mess of duplexes where they can get double the driveway. ;)
7:10 pm
jmcnrick
had a baby who didn't take any candy and two teens and . . . no one else so far
7:10 pm
jmcnrick
it is true in DC to a great extent. . .
7:10 pm
Lizlin
it's become such a commercial thing here and in the UK - never used to be
7:11 pm
Bugsaw
I like the little ones too Molly. The big ones just want food. The little ones will tell you all about their costume and why they chose it
7:11 pm
jmcnrick
how odd my babble page got small some how
7:12 pm
Bugsaw
Lizlin for some reason I thot it was a North American custom only like Thanksgiving
7:12 pm
Lizlin
Ours showed off their costumes and reminded us about what they wore last year. Funny watching them grow!
7:12 pm
MollyL
That is exactly what these kids did. One little girl went on and on about how she and her little brother were bats. She seemed very pleased to be one too.
7:12 pm
jmcnrick
alas the baby just wanted to pet the cat and i had to prompt the teens to say trick or treat (otherwise they get nothing)
7:12 pm
jmcnrick
nice molls
7:13 pm
jmcnrick
ah fixed the screen
7:13 pm
Lizlin
I don't mind these - a few years ago we had some unpleasant kids, who were just sooooooo greedy! The 4 of them just wiped out our supplies by grabbing. Now we bag up before! Learnt our lesson - but they've not been back!
7:13 pm
jmcnrick
but i ate the baby's share of my candy :-D
7:13 pm
Bugsaw
firewords. last one was a hairpiece
7:14 pm
jmcnrick
whoo hooo bugs
7:14 pm
Lizlin
I bought stuff I didn't like! Threw out the little that remained - kinder to me!
7:14 pm
Bugsaw
anyone want clues before I go light the pumpkin and get ready for kids?
7:14 pm
Lizlin
Congrats bugs
7:14 pm
jmcnrick
it was only one piece
7:15 pm
Bugsaw
god plan Lizlin. I only buy what I like in case not enough kids come
7:15 pm
Bugsaw
ok, I am poofing. See you late and be safe

We have had more kids than we expected, but still not a lot.
7:21 pm
jmcnrick
i will turn off the porch light and blow out the candle
7:22 pm
Lizlin
will they accept that? here they knock at the door with no obvious invitation
7:22 pm
jmcnrick
yes it is pretty much expected here. . . you leave your porch light on if you are open to them
7:23 pm
Lizlin
i like that idea
7:23 pm
jmcnrick
no light no candy
7:23 pm
wht
Here the custom has always been to only knock on doors where the light was on. I remember that from when I was a kid in the dark ages.
7:24 pm
jmcnrick
when i was a kid we knocked on door with the lights out . . . more spooky. . . but we only did our own block and we knew everyone on it
7:24 pm
o-o
There were lights in the dark ages?
7:24 pm
Lizlin
I think that although the kids in our street knock on all the doors, I'm not complaining. They're quiet and polite and even though some are older, parents are still there at the end of the drive.
7:25 pm
jmcnrick
haha not electric ones anyway BR
7:25 pm
MollyL
Kids don't trick or treat like we did. Sadly, it is a different world.
7:25 pm
jmcnrick
they are more likely to go to a party then i was. . .or my boy
7:25 pm
Lizlin
Yes - always glad to see the parents
7:26 pm
MollyL
I see the kids walking around with little plastic pumpkins for their candy, and think of the pillowcases we used to take.
7:27 pm
jmcnrick
i had a milk carton for unicef
7:27 pm
Lizlin
hmm - who gets more sweets (candy) or lollies to adopt the aussie term
7:27 pm
MollyL
I remember the boxes to collect for UNICEF.
7:28 pm
wht
I had a pillow case. But it was the rare house where we got a candy bar. It would be apples, popcorn balls and lots of candy corn and such.
7:29 pm
Lizlin
i do have reservations about all the sugar! but don't think healthy stuff would be appreciated!
7:29 pm
jmcnrick
we mainly got money for unicef. . .occassional candy
7:30 pm
jmcnrick
i would freeze it and do** it out through the year. . . usually took me to christmas candy
7:31 pm
jmcnrick
which i would freeze and that would get me to easter. . .but easter never made it through the summer
7:40 pm
MollyL
Popcorn balls are awesome. Too bad you can't give out homemade treats anymore.
7:41 pm
Lizlin
popcorn balls?
7:41 pm
wht
It just shows our level of paranoia, since all the reports of poisoned candy turned out to be urban legends.
7:42 pm
MollyL
I went to Catholic school and before they started making us go to school on holy days of obligation, the day after Halloween (All Souls Day) was a day off. My friend and I would always have a sleepover on Halloween night.
7:42 pm
Lizlin
And tell spooky stories, so you couldn't sleep ??????
7:43 pm
MollyL
That and gorge on candy. : )
7:43 pm
Lizlin
Oh - the day after!
7:43 pm
Lizlin
Tummy aches galore!
7:44 pm
MollyL
I never got a stomach ache from too much candy. Or, as my friend's mother refers to it, The Chootalooskas.
7:44 pm

Good - me neither!Off to enjoy a walk on one of the beautiful beaches here. Back later. Enjoy your evenings.

My de 4/8 hands were able to type most of the words. I have fo4/7 words le4/7 so here is a story of clues fr 4/8 Minveryork. As Sandy to 4/4 through people's to 4/7s, I fe 4/7 guilty for not losing electric & having no damage when many fl 4/8 their houses due to the overfl4/11 of water coming from the sea. The up 6/45 of the fo 4/8y water from the ocean fl 6/42 all over parts of NYC and Atlantic City. Sandy fl 4/9ed many residents. However, others fl 5/18ed at the thought of having to leave their homes.I do not like it when people lo4/5 at warnings to evacuate. It delays rescue workers me 4/5ing the needs of others to rescue people who did not listen in the first place. Now in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy,we are ro4/5ing around saying, "Holy to 6/321! Look at all the mess!" I hope that Obama to 4/5s the devastated cities and has FEMA help people who cannot affo4/8 to re4/5 everything over again.When all is said and done though I'm glad the Lo4/5 didn't let Sandy take too many lives. Hubby wants computer. I fr4/7 what he will do if I don't give it to him. I am going to go watch Steve Martin play the ro 4/4 of a scoundrel in Dirty Ro5/10n Scoundrels. I hope you have found some mo4/5 words with this story.

Hello all -- just visiting briefly to show you my Halloween Boo
11:10 pm
jillibus
Which is just about over back east and well over across the pond and down under.
11:11 pm
jillibus
I turn out all lights and put out no pumpkins -- there are almost no kids in the area.
11:11 pm
grannyrose
hey, jilli. just read the up-date in your profile. great to see the good news.
11:12 pm
jillibus
thanks, granny. It looks less worse each day too, but still would be a Halloween scare.
11:13 pm
grannyrose
lol, i'd be a halloween scare, and i haven't had surgery!!!
11:13 pm
jillibus
still took in a sample for C.diff test yesterday -- no news yet
11:14 pm
jillibus
What bosh, granny!
11:14 pm
grannyrose
prayers being said for good news there too.
11:15 pm
jillibus
thanks, granny -- didn't get a flu shot, saving immune system for immediate possible needs
11:15 pm
grannyrose
had a lovely chat with mrp the other night. poor darling is so stressed. i don't know how she can hold it together. am worried for her and the children.
11:15 pm
jillibus
(This is flu shot season here)
11:16 pm
grannyrose
oh, i did mean to ask, did the storm affect any of our babble friends?
11:16 pm
jillibus
Granny, mrp has me mystified. Please email me as to the true story -- address at the end of my profile.
11:17 pm
grannyrose
will do jilli.
11:18 pm
jillibus
I believe it affected quite a few on the east coast -- Hego among them, still with no power as far as I know.
11:19 pm
jillibus
Thanks, granny. I need to know.
11:20 pm
stidmama

Hi stiddy -- comment ça va?
11:22 pm
stidmama

11:22 pm
jillibus
comme ci comme ca, hahah
11:23 pm
stidmama
I have been teaching every day so far this week and about to go to bed because I do it again tomorrow! LOL I am about to run out of appropriate teacher clothes and might have to resort to the jeans and school colors of the regular teachers on Friday...
11:23 pm
grannyrose
jilli, have emailed you. should be there in a few minutes. please email me right back, so i know i have the correct addy.
11:23 pm
jillibus
un peu ivre maintenant
11:23 pm
stidmama
I see you have had a health issue (or two) that I was unaware of... *petulant mama look* how can I put you on my list if I don't know these things???
11:23 pm
grannyrose
and cooee stiddy. nice to see you, hun.
11:24 pm
stidmama
cooee to you as well dear grannyrose -- how's the knee?
11:24 pm
stidmama
I didn't know ivre, not a word that I have ever needed! LOL
11:24 pm
stidmama
oh oh... I forgot Lucky's nine o'clocks. brb
11:25 pm
grannyrose
betterer and betterer. went 6 hours without pain meds today.
11:26 pm
stidmama
very nice! :-D
11:26 pm
stidmama
so just to be clear... "cooee" means -- hey there, notice me, yes?
11:26 pm
stidmama
and does anyone need clues? because I have all the words.
11:27 pm
stidmama
I have about 5 minutes until I turn into a pumpkin and the handsome prince goes elsewhere.
11:27 pm
grannyrose
yes....or where are you? or hello, saw your light on, thought i would drop in.
11:27 pm
stidmama
actually handsome prince has already gone out to retrieve the offspring who went out with his girlfriend tonight.
11:28 pm
stidmama
okay, cool. I love learning new words.
11:28 pm
stidmama
btw, grannyrose, I am not in contact with mrp, but please do add my love the next time you communicate? I think of her and her darling children often.
11:29 pm
grannyrose
will do stiddy. she does miss her babble buddies, but is very busy being a single mum.
11:30 pm
stidmama
I understand. :-(
11:32 pm
stidmama
well... if no clues are desired, I shall toddle off to bed. I find it hard to get to sleep if I stay up this late, but I had to do some prep for tomorrow. And my power was off for over an hour earlier so I had to wait for it to be on. You know... and then it takes longer than I plan for and before you know it, it's morning. SO glad I have always made it a habit to get the classroom totally ready for the next day before I leave! I will be dragging myself in early tomorrow in case a student follows up on his request to arrive early to finish some work. :-)
11:37 pm
jillibus
sorry, stid -- I was answering granny's email. Did you look at my profile re face probelms?
11:37 pm
jillibus
I guess she's gone :-(
11:39 pm
stidmama
I did, jill -- was checking on something in another screen.
11:39 pm
stidmama
Too bad you covered it up, would be a perfect look for this evening... *wicked mama grin*
11:39 pm
stidmama
are you otherwise okay? face and digestion aside?
11:43 pm
stidmama
I have to go, will be 5:00 before I know it. (for some reason I wake up then no matter when I go to sleep -- my alarm doesn't go off until 5:30). ((((Jill)))) ((((grannyrose)))) *POOF*
11:53 pm

11:53 pm

11:54 pm
jillibus
