Hi there - happy with casey???
12:47 am
grannyrose
sure am. i think simonetti's death made him think very hard about his future. he now has a wife and child to consider.
12:48 am
Lizlin
It's always a fine balance
12:49 am
grannyrose
i think he has made the right decision. a very mature decision.
12:50 am
Lizlin
I'd agree there - but I bet it wasn't an easy decision to make - or perhaps he knew it was time
12:51 am
grannyrose
like i said simonetti's death made quite a few of the riders sit back and think hard. casey acted responsibily.
12:52 am
Lizlin
I'm sure it did - I agree - a mature decision.
12:53 am
Lizlin
How are things with you?
12:54 am
grannyrose
going goodly, thanx. we are off for a few days to bright. mother mac in respite.
12:55 am

discomfort is more stiffness which ease as i move around...not surgical pain
12:55 am

So a holiday - or duty - don't forget I'm relatively new here and don't know people too well! Glad the pain is easing.

Hello Gwen & Zooz
6:12 am
rubyfoo
hello again
6:12 am
rubyfoo
funny little grid, 40 words this AM
6:12 am
rubyfoo
am I alone again?
6:14 am
rubyfoo
hello smores. I am going on my little weekend in London, in partial thanks for your support and encouragement
6:15 am
rubyfoo
I am very ahppy
6:16 am
smores
ti4 and pa4 were my 1st 2 words....lol
6:17 am
smores
very descriptive of the grid today
6:17 am
rubyfoo
earlier, people were saying it was a snap
6:17 am
rubyfoo
I have 40 words with nothing else in sight
6:18 am
smores
I just started - only have 15
6:18 am
rubyfoo
and, evidently, there was some sort of brouhahah earlier; someone described it as "toxic" but I am too lazy so go back and read the chog
6:19 am
rubyfoo
I hate it when people argue or get nasty in the chog. It should be a pleasant, safe place
6:19 am
smores
disagreements dont' have to be nasty
6:20 am
rubyfoo
I can't imagine that sort of ill-feeling. When I'm online and it happens, I try to change the subject
6:21 am
Lizlin
A quick visit before bed! Hi Ruby and Smores - hope you're both well. Glad to see you've booked your visit, Ruby. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.
6:22 am
smores
for the most part I think this is a very pleasant and safe place
6:22 am
rubyfoo
it will be great to have a break from here
6:22 am
Lizlin
Lots of people are using the word toxic! I'm totally bewildered by it - find it a friendly place.
6:22 am
rubyfoo
that's how I feel, smores. The support and friendship in here is terrific!
6:23 am
rubyfoo
are* (toxic grammar -- lol)
6:23 am
Lizlin
I've only got 5 words left - saving them for tomorrow (how sad!) Any clues needed?
6:23 am
rubyfoo
I have 11 left but they're a little of this, a little of that
6:24 am
smores
no thanks liz, just getting started
6:25 am
Lizlin
The whole grid was a little of this, a little of that. I thought it was hard when I started but it just seemed to get easier. A couple of weird words but not many.
6:25 am
smores
just so darn ti4
6:26 am
smores
this is the smallest I've ever seen
6:26 am
Lizlin
Certainly is ti4 - smallest I've seen too but I've not been playing much longer than you!
6:27 am
Lizlin
I think the large grids are more fun and possibly more challenging. Certainly more weird words.
6:27 am
Lizlin
It's disappointing only to have 5 words to look for tomorrow!
6:28 am
rubyfoo
down to 9
6:28 am
rubyfoo
for me, the large grids are more fun, something to play with
6:28 am
smores
I like around 200 or so
6:28 am
Lizlin
What time is flip for you?
6:30 am
Lizlin
It's 4 pm here - since US clocks changed, so it usually works well - do some in the afternoon, some in the evening and some the next day! Oh well! This is unusual!
6:30 am
Lizlin
Go Ruby!!!
6:33 am
rubyfoo
monkeys are lying on the floor, panting
6:33 am
Lizlin
LOL!!! I'll hang around a little longer to see if you get fireworks!
6:34 am
smores
lol ruby, give them a banana
6:35 am
smores
heck I can't seem to wake my monkeys up..lol
6:36 am
Lizlin
It's pretty early for them smores - wouldn't so much be my monkeys as my brain!
6:36 am
smores
yeah, I think I need more coffee
6:36 am
Lizlin
Sounds about right!

Awwwww!!!! I'm glad you found him.

6:49 am
crosshair
fostering a pet is the best of all possible worlds.you save a animal,help out the shelter and get a wide variety of pets in your home..assuming you can give them up when the time comes for them to go to their forever home
6:49 am
smores
Oh! say it ain't so ruby!
6:49 am
rubyfoo
that is wonderful that you can rehabilitate him! How do M and P feel about that?
6:49 am
bichon
I didn't find him, but he was given to a rescue organization I am affiliated with.
6:49 am
rubyfoo
I am stuck on the last p! it has 4 letters
6:50 am
bichon
M&P don't seem to care. Watson is getting a lot of our attention. He is a joy
6:50 am

8:28 am
MollyL
Oh, I'm having deja vu. Dammit was in the grid. Someone mentioned it. People started saying dammit this and dammit that as a joke. And...you guessed it...someone thought they were being cussed at and got offended. Just goes to show how jokes here can be completely misunderstood sometimes.
8:29 am
mael
I just started, I have 26 left. I was also hoping for a big grid, I've got some procrastinating to do at work today :)
8:29 am
Judi
The hell you say?

Yeah, it's unfortunate, dammit.
8:29 am

WTH - really - no sh**?
8:29 am

8:29 am

Jack Bauer said it all the time on "24".

MollyL
*Sigh* I miss Jack Bauer.
8:30 am
MimiCat
Words can be both friend and foe..and here we don't have the benefit of tone for inflection. I'm glad no one can hear me curse this grid today!
8:30 am
smores
Dammit mael that's just wrong
8:30 am
Judi
Me too, Molly.
8:30 am
Judi
My husband and I would count the "dammits" whenever we watched 24.
8:31 am
mael
I should have watched more TV, dammit
8:31 am
smores
that's funny Judi
8:31 am
tee_jay
i'm deeply offended that the word isn't accepted.
8:31 am
Judi
What's really funny is, on his new show, "Touch", he also says "dammit" all the time.
8:31 am
mael
speaking of 24, Homeland's a damn good show these days
8:31 am
smores
I love that show
8:31 am
crosshair
dammit,still 17 more to go;)
8:32 am
MimiCat
That's because it is spelled damnit.....don't ask how I know this.
8:32 am

dammit I'm out of coffee...brb
8:32 am
MollyL
Dammit Mimi, I wish you did.
8:32 am
mael
I've seen it both ways, dammit!
8:32 am
Judi
Now y'all are just being silly.
8:32 am
tee_jay
it shouldn't matter how it's spelled. all forms should be accepted.
8:33 am
MimiCat
Mael, just ordered the first season of Homeland from Netflix. Have been hearing how good it is. They also have all seasons of Northern Exposure.
8:34 am

the 744 is a prime example of an evil grid
8:40 am
smores
I wasn't around for that one
8:40 am

That is evil. Let's all get together and type the whole dictionary for fun!
8:40 am

200-300 are my faves
8:41 am

mine too, cross
8:41 am
smores
this one is just waaay too small
8:41 am
Judi
Ditto, Crossy. Anything more is too tedious. One must get on with one's life.
8:41 am
crosshair
somewhere i have a screen shot of the 744 if you want to have a go at it lool
8:42 am
smores
funny though, I mentioned earlier, my 1st two words were ti4 and pa4
8:42 am
Judi
*shudderrs* That would cause post traumatic grid disorder.
8:42 am

You can see the 744 grid by going to the archives for Apri 21, 2012.
8:53 am
smores
Thanks Molly, I'll check it out. :)
8:53 am
MollyL
13,761 points to finish it. And no, I didn't.
8:56 am
smores
I never knew you could look them up. Cool it includes chat log, bet there were some interesting comments that day. :)
8:58 am
smores
Love your profile for the day Molly.
8:59 am
MollyL
I don't even think I got half way, which would have been a nice 6000 points or so. I would have had to sit at the computer for 12 straight hours and I just don't have that in me. Plus, there is a life to be led and all that.
8:59 am
smores
There is no way I would could have done it.
9:00 am
smores
Maybe I'll save it though, work on it when we have grids like today. :)
9:01 am
smores
teehee would could..wow I'm really with it today..lol
9:01 am
MollyL
So grids do go from the mealy (today) to the outlandish (744). Fortunately most of them are in between.
9:02 am
smores
someone said earlier there was one that was only 26
9:02 am
smores
this is the smallest I've seen
9:03 am
MollyL
A word of caution if you really do try to work that grid. The "View Word List" feature, gives you the whole word. It's not like Lickety.

My brain is similar to yours, Crossy. I have a reductionist approach--I reduce issues into their simplest form and set aside minor details.

he is doing ok. A fair amount of nausea. The epidural has his pain pretty well under control except when he moves.
10:18 am

They gave him some lasix this morning so he is peeing like crazy.
10:19 am

well,it is good they have the pain management under control anyways
10:19 am
Scrabbler
Post-op recovery sucks. I had 5 abd/pelvic surgeries.
10:19 am
uusue2
Also his nasogastric tube decided to come out; he doesn't miss it but if it needs to go back in he is going to be one unhappy camper.
10:19 am
Scrabbler
Opiates cause nausea and dizziness too.
10:19 am

We saw the surgeon briefly this morning; he will meet with us this afternoon.
10:20 am

NG tubes are cruel torture
10:20 am
uusue2
well, he doesn't have systemic opiates, just the epidural.
10:21 am

It sounds like you have a gem of a surgeon--changing his weekend plans to get this surgery done.
10:21 am

refresh my memory.ng tubes go where?

He was great, scrabs (he still went away but left later than planned).

Ugh is right. And getting one inserted while awake is pure torture.

My almost 90 yr old uncle ripped his NG tube out last week moments after it was inserted for a partial bowel obstruction. Of course he earned himself the label of "in need of restraints" and had the tube reinserted.

crossy takes small bits so as not to aspirate death cookies...
10:52 am
Scrabbler
Like the random accident that killed an acquaintance yesterday. Sheila was walking on a bike/hike path yesterday when a drunk motorcyclist lost control, killing her and another woman.
10:52 am
crosshair
good lord:(
10:52 am
Aloyisius
oh noooooooo... Life is not Fair!
10:53 am

Just when you think you are safe from a drunk

10:53 am

one day we shall all get together,get drunk and compare scars to see who has the most/longest/ugliest
10:54 am
Aloyisius
ok, it is a deal
10:54 am
Scrabbler
Her husband is seriously injured but to recover at 79 when you learn your wife is dead--not so easy.
10:54 am
crosshair
i think i can win for longest..how long is an average c-section scar scrabby?
10:54 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, I do not want to see at least one of your scars.
10:54 am
Aloyisius
but can you show all your scars, crossy, without making us blush?
10:55 am
crosshair
it is sad indeed scrabby
10:55 am
Aloyisius
Scrabbs, no wonder you are weepy.. I am
10:55 am
Scrabbler
4-6 inches, Crossy.
10:55 am

crosshair

10:56 am
Aloyisius

10:56 am
Scrabbler
Crossy really is a medical miracle--he had a C-section!
10:57 am
crosshair
yes,it was a 5 lb 5 oz wolf
10:57 am
Aloyisius

10:57 am
Scrabbler
And you breastfed your wolf pup, right?

I ad5/14 to using the list to complete such a ti 4/6 grid. I'm saving my last word so here is a story of clues. When my brother was a teenager he got a di4/5 bike from my dad. My brother was so sm 4/5ten with it, he rode it for hours every day.One day,my brother rode it on some da 4/7 muddy roads.He fell off his bike & had back pa 4/5 after that.He came home and got grime & mud all over the wooden floor. The floor was pa 5/12ed with mud. I felt bad for our ma4/6 who had to clean it all up.It was not a si4/5le job to do because mud got into the cracks of the wood. I hope you have found some ma 4/5 words with this story.I'm going to go watch a Will Sm5/12 film
4:43 pm

I am glad you guys had a good day.I am off to make dinner

Odd grid - found it hard when I started but it got easier!
5:35 pm

fortunately most of the words are short
5:36 pm

If you want any help ... yes, that was another odd thing!
5:37 pm

stats for the last M word. . . i have the housekeeper and the scottish more and pl
5:38 pm
Lizlin
mi 4/ 7 - very similar to the pi 4 / 7
5:38 pm

It's a m4 you can't find it. Make the p4 and m4.

howdy liz
5:40 pm
jmcnrick
i would. . . i am a big thurber fan
5:40 pm
MollyL
Thanks Liz. It's sad that people see the glass as half empty.
5:40 pm
Lizlin
I'd've spelt it with a double!!! Don't know how it's really spelt!
5:41 pm
Lizlin
I really don't understand why people would get upset - or more importantly, why write things that might upset.
5:41 pm
jmcnrick
haha i have a friend who sees the glass as di**y!
5:41 pm
jmcnrick
the story has a double liz
5:41 pm
Lizlin
I'd rather just drink it!
5:41 pm
jmcnrick
i have upset people with things that i write but it has never been intentional. . .
5:41 pm
Lizlin
I remember thurber stories from a long time ago. My parents introduced me to them.
5:42 pm
MollyL
I think those that live in the negative see the glass as di4y and half empty. And if that is all they can see, more the pi4 for them.
5:42 pm
jmcnrick
i loved the show my world and welcome to it with william windom
5:42 pm
Lizlin
I don't think people ever mean to upset others - if they do, they shouldn't be here! I agree again.
5:44 pm
Lizlin
I think that sites like babble are meant for fun. People get to know each other and talk freely (well, reasonably so) but really it's about the game and fun chat!
5:44 pm
jmcnrick
i always assume the best or the funniest meaning of whatever anyone says
5:44 pm
Lizlin
Me too - some people get offended by innuendo, I think.
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
yes i hate the comment pages where they people are always saying "you are so stupid as usual. . . " etc
5:45 pm
crosshair
dinner tonight is spagettini aldente with home made sauce with sweet itallian sauage,peppers and red onions and a large garlic cheese crusty loaf and a simple greek salad coooome and git it!
5:46 pm
jmcnrick
i have checked with people with kids on and they say my innuendo doesn't worry them. . . kids mostly don't get it and really it is mild compared to TV these days
5:46 pm
MollyL
Innuendo and sarcasm are forms of adult humor. And I don't care what anyone says, this is not a game for kids.
5:46 pm
Lizlin
sounds yummy! But it's a bit far and I don't think I want garlic at 9.45 am - though almost any other time it's yummy!

5:47 pm

5:47 pm
Lizlin
Mango, strawberries, kiwi fruit. Scrambled eggs and toast. And of course a large mug of freshly ground coffee! Just the thing!
5:48 pm

The weather "tomorrow" is wonderful! Blue skies and sun. Warmer than yesterday!

jmcnrick
there was a kiddy show on tv in houston when i was growing up . . . Kitirik the Cat. . . and she was always making grown up jokes which went zing over the heads of the kids watching. . .but she had a good time
5:48 pm
Lizlin
I believe Playschool in Australia did that - so my husband tells me!
5:49 pm
crosshair
these last 4 words are thumbing their nose at me
5:49 pm
Lizlin
Want clues????
5:49 pm
jmcnrick
and i loved reading pogo as a little kid and then an older kid and then a teen and then an adult because i kept getting more and more jokes. . .
5:49 pm
MollyL
There is a great and easy feature of this chat, the ability to turn it off. Works great if you are not interested/offended by what is being discussed.
5:49 pm
crosshair
not quite yet i have one a one p and a pair of s words
5:50 pm
Lizlin
The s words were my last!

Lizlin
Go crossy!
5:52 pm

5:52 pm
MollyL
Rhymes with Popeye's gladly pay you Tuesday friend.
5:53 pm
jmcnrick
haha there were jokes in popeye i didn't get the first time either. . . .
5:54 pm
Lizlin
I remember watching Popeye - but not the content. Haven't seen it in aeons (so good to be able to use the word!!!)
5:54 pm
jmcnrick
not to mention the time i laughed out loud in russian history class when i finally got a rocky and bullwinkle joke
5:54 pm
jmcnrick
<===a little slow on the uptake at times
5:54 pm
Lizlin
Never saw that show
5:55 pm
MollyL
Cartoons for people "our age" were full of adult innuendo.
5:55 pm
jmcnrick
if you get a chance you should watch it liz. . . one of the all time great cartoons
5:55 pm
jmcnrick
i still enjoy it.
5:56 pm
Lizlin
I'll look out for it on the cartoon channel! I guess never having had kids ( though I taught them) I never saw the cartoons as an adult, that I saw as a kid.
5:57 pm
MollyL
That was one of the many fun things about having kids. Watching them laugh at and enjoy the same cartoons I enjoyed as a kid.
5:58 pm
Lizlin
I'm sure - I shared that with friends and and nephews!
5:58 pm
crosshair
funny i can remember all the lines from every warner bros cartoon from the bugs bunny road runner show from the 50,s right trhough to 1985 when they startd editing them but cannot remember what i ate for dinner last night
5:58 pm
Lizlin
Love the real laughter of kids
5:59 pm
jmcnrick
the new looneytunes are quite interesting
5:59 pm
MollyL
I agree Liz, that is one of the best sounds in the world.
5:59 pm
Lizlin
lol!!!! As long as you know what you're eating last night!!!!!
5:59 pm
jmcnrick
<==has a very low standard of tv watching
5:59 pm
crosshair
and the early merry melodies toons
5:59 pm
jmcnrick
it is a good sound. . .
6:00 pm
MollyL
One of the best newspaper cartoons I ever saw was the one that ran the day after Mel Blanc died. All the Looney Tune characters were standing around his grave and there was a empty bubble coming from their mouths.
6:00 pm
jmcnrick
i liked betty boop because she always had jazz. . . louis armstrong and cab calloway among others. . . but the drawing it too racist now. . . its a shame because they were often quite thoughtful
6:01 pm
jmcnrick
i did not see that one molls
6:01 pm
crosshair
yes,mel blanc was the voice of cartoons
6:01 pm
jmcnrick
but chuck jones was their brain!

Hi everyone.
7:13 pm

The grid is so small I can barely see it!
7:13 pm
uusue2
Of course, we'll have to see how he does without the epidural, ingesting actual food, and whatnot.
7:14 pm
o-o
Good news, Sue
7:14 pm
MollyL
Hope it all goes well. I'm sure Frank is anxious to get home.
7:19 pm
uusue2
I'm sure it will. We'll have home nurses come help with complicated things like the ostomy bag (which I am in no way ready to deal with myself yet)
7:19 pm
uusue2
but it is pretty exciting!
7:21 pm
MollyL
Ah, the things we do for love. : )
7:22 pm
uusue2
He feels bad about "putting me through all this" but I pointed out that "in sickness and in health" (which we haven't said explicitly but which is certainly true for us) means exactly that.
7:23 pm
gemini_J13
how many words please?
7:29 pm
MollyL
It's all part of the package Sue, and I'm sure he would do the same for you, if the situation were reversed.
7:32 pm
uusue2
I know he would, Molly (and has although I wasn't nearly so sick).
7:33 pm

thanks for the link, BR!
7:49 pm
Minveryork
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
7:49 pm

Poor grid. It's probably taking offense at being picked on because of it's size. : P
7:49 pm
uusue2
and thanks, Liz!
7:49 pm
jesdraggon
who's picking? I'm cooing at the cute.
7:52 pm

I like what you wrote in your profile MollyL. So true.I do not think that I have EVER been bothered by people say in the chat log. I might disagree to some things but not the point where it bothers me.Love being in Babbleland
7:53 pm
uusue2

7:53 pm
MollyL
And most people do Min. : )
8:03 pm
Jacula
Hi all! Just finished another writing stint and then came in here to see if anyone was chatting/wanting clues etc. I saw what Crossy asked about what had upset Haz & BR not long after I signed in during the UK afternoon. I had a look at it and I don't know either, but can guess, given that Stid had posted something in her profile days before. Don't kid yourselves that words can't hurt because they can, which is why I mostly stay away from chat now, too However, if you can be in chat at the 'right' times, it's fine.
8:06 pm
Jacula
It's a real pity that cliques exist on here, but they do.
8:06 pm
uusue2
I still love Babble and babblers; they are even better in person than online! Sometimes people are not in the best of moods; usually I can overlook that. If I find myself getting annoyed I go do something else for a while.
8:07 pm
uusue2
anyway, hi jac, it is good to see you!
8:07 pm
Jacula
Me, too, Sue, but some thing are unforgiveable.
8:08 pm
Jacula
Hi Sue! How is your hubby doing? Any more news since what I saw on FB?
8:08 pm
uusue2
(((jac))) sorry if you have run into such things here. That really is too bad.
8:10 pm
Jacula
I tried to comment in the Babble group when he was about to go in for his op but FB wouldn't let me leave a comment, probably 'cos you'd done it from your mobile.
8:10 pm
jesdraggon
nbt, i mean
8:10 pm
Jacula
Hello Jess.
8:11 pm
uusue2
ah, well, I really appreciate the thought, Jac. He is doing really well.
8:11 pm
Minveryork
Was never "cool" enough to be included in cliques so I'm used to not being part of certain cliques,not that I need to be part of one.Not sure about cliques in Babbbleland
8:11 pm
Jacula
Glad to hear it, Sue. Hope you have his post-op meds sorted, too?
8:11 pm
uusue2
Not yet. Lots of things are going to happen tomorrow.
8:12 pm
uusue2

8:12 pm

Min cliques abound, sadly.

Well done Sue!! *~*~*~*~*

I've enjoyed getting to "know" everyone over the past couple of weeks since I started. I'm kind of housebound since my heart attack and I feel like I have company here. Thanks, all.
8:14 pm
uusue2
thanks for the WooTs, Jilly!
8:14 pm
jesdraggon
welcome to babble, mimicat :)
8:15 pm
uusue2
hi, mimi, I find babblers to be a wonderful set of people and have actually met several of them in person (where they are even more wonderful :-). I'm glad you found us.
8:15 pm
Jacula
I think you've had lots of advice here and on FB from former cancer patients, Sue? I hope the ride forward will be an easier one.
8:15 pm
MimiCat
Thanks, jes! Now if I can just get as good at this as all of you are!
8:15 pm
Jillyjill
And nice to met you mimic@42! Glad the group has been helpfull to you. It always has been for me!
8:15 pm
MimiCat
Much friendlier than on Boggle Bash.
8:16 pm
jesdraggon
you will, mimicat...i've had 5 years of playing to learn the weird words. :)
8:16 pm
Jacula
Hello Mimic, nice to meet you. Welcome the the mad, bad, kind, amazing world of Babble.
8:16 pm
uusue2
We have, Jac, and we also have some friends who have gone through similar surgeries. Two of the young people in our church have ostomies, and one of them came and visited today. That was very helpful for Frank.
8:16 pm
Jillyjill
Mimic, when I first started I was lucky to get 10-20 words...LOL...it does get better...
8:17 pm
Minveryork
Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log
8:17 pm
Jillyjill
Yes, uusue, the ostomy is a real blow to one's body image, it was good to have someone he knew come by..
8:17 pm
Minveryork
Hello Mimicat42! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.
8:17 pm
MimiCat
I usually hit the wall at about 72 words when it's a bigger grid. I NEVER get 'em all.
8:17 pm
MimiCat
Thanks, Min.
8:18 pm
Jacula
It certainly does get better. Jillyjill and Mimic! You'll find yourself playinmg Babblets in on-line and real life Scrabble before too long. :-)
8:18 pm
Minveryork
I have been here since 1996 and I am STILL not as good as some of the babblers here. Still unable to babble sans list.
8:18 pm
Jillyjill
I am well minv, and how are you?
8:19 pm
Jillyjill
Yep, I find the flip crew to be MOST impressive!
8:19 pm
uusue2
Oh, I always use the list too, at least to finish. I don't always finish; I do try to get nbs, nbt, and more than half way, but to me the rest is gravy.
8:19 pm
Jacula
Min - never done one sans list yet? That is your New Year Challenge from me then. x
8:19 pm
MimiCat
I don't even know what you guys are talking about when you refer to na6 and stuff like that. Totally lost. But I'm just doing this for fun anyway.
8:19 pm
Jillyjill
Well, going listless is pretty intimidating to me, I also beg for lists on non-lickety days
8:20 pm
Jacula
I think the flip crew are those who post clues too early for me? I avoid them, play with chat closed.
8:20 pm
jesdraggon
na6 would be a word starting with na, that has 6 letters
8:20 pm
uusue2
ah, jargon :-)
8:20 pm
jesdraggon
speaking of...clue for im7 please?
8:20 pm
Jillyjill
You'll catch on in no time mimic..
8:20 pm
Minveryork
That is what matters most Mimicat42, that you have fun. If it becomes not so fun, then it is time to take a break.Can't take it too seriously and do not worry about the rankings.
8:20 pm
stidmama
Joins queue waiting for im word hey all
8:21 pm
uusue2
im + latex or watercolor

There are 2 ways to be skillful in Babble,finding words and cluing. Unfortunately, I'm not very skillful at either one yet
8:24 pm
stidmama
N in the lower left corner please? My last for nbt
8:24 pm
stidmama
Sounds delish, jilly
8:24 pm
Jillyjill

8:24 pm
stidmama
But you write amazing clue stories, min, which I alwasy enjoy
8:25 pm
Jacula
Incidentally, the im7/36 word does not feature in my real books Oxford or Cambridge dictionaries.

stidmama
And thanks jilly.. Dont think i have seen that one before.
8:26 pm
Minveryork
Appreciate the skillful cluers like BabbleRabble who pushes me to give better clues. I hope to learn more from others.
8:26 pm
stidmama
Swet dreams, mimicat
8:26 pm
Jacula
Jilly - lol. Sorry for making you work for the clues but the whole point of playing this game is to give your brain a workout and to learn new words and facts. Well, that's what it's about for me, plus making a few new friends.
8:26 pm
o-o
Mimicat42, look at the word list. The first ad word has five letters and is worth 14 points ... the second ad word has 6 letters and is worth 24 points ... so, if someone asks for the stats for the first ad it would be ad 5/14 ..... look at Help above to see how the points are computed and other useful information.
8:27 pm
stidmama
Hey br. ((Hugs))
8:27 pm
Jillyjill
It's a type of palm...new one for me..I always try to look those new ones up..

I've madea few real life friends over the years I've being playing this game. Sadly, some have died. But I still maintain contact out of the game with others.
8:32 pm
Jillyjill
I do like the Babble community on Facebook...another chance to stay in touch
8:32 pm
Minveryork
I am not good at making friends or maintaining friendships
8:33 pm
uusue2
I met eight other babblers (JillyJill, harpjane, bugsaw, stidmama, stidgmere, hego, jillibus, and nef) on my vacation this summer. It was an absolutely awesomely great trip, and I like them all very much. I've also separately met jmcnrick, dorens, and scrabbler, all of whom are also very wonderful.
8:33 pm
Jacula
Sue - that'ss great!
8:33 pm

Well, min, how about if the next time I come to visit my dad in New Jersey, I come to New York and we have a cup of coffee?
8:33 pm

I have not joined Babble on FaceBook yet. I'm here almost every day so don't see the need to.Not on FB much anyway
8:33 pm
Jillyjill
Oh, I would have to disagree with that minv....I also enjoy not only your creative stories, but your welcoming statements in chog...
8:34 pm
Jillyjill
You've made a friend in me!
8:34 pm
Jacula
Min - why do you think that is? I've been friends with you on here since the start.
8:35 pm
Minveryork
I would LOVE that uusue2!Have a life long goal of meeting at least one babbler before I die. I would so love to meet U
8:36 pm
Jacula
Min - I know I used to tease you about yourstandard greeting when we first met, but I've got to know a different Min after that in the years that followed.
8:36 pm
Jacula
Min - join FB!
8:37 pm
Jillyjill
Our oldest son graduates in December 2013. I will be on east coast then (Norfolk VA). It'd be great to try and meet some of the east coast babblers. Not sure yet if we will pop up to see our youngest in MA..depends on weather
8:38 pm
Minveryork
Like your icon Jillyjill. My life right now is one big question mark right now.Babble is an escape from my miserable life

I'm just here because after I lost my Dad long, painfully and slowly to a form of senile dementia, I decided to play an on-line word game as well as doing my crosswords, quizzes and being a writer, to make sure I kept my mind active. I found a whole community of mostly lovely people to chat to, and it went from there.

Jacula, my Dad e-mailed a link to this website, but I did not check out the game 'til about a year after he sent it to me. I knew I would get addicted to it. I was planning a wedding at the time and I knew that I had no time to be playing this game every day. So I joined a year later.
8:45 pm
Jacula
ruru - s'okay, I'm used to being called Jac, Jack, Jax, all sorts. lol
8:47 pm
Jacula
Min - that didn't answer my question. Is that a pic of you and will you please join FB and contact me.
8:48 pm
uusue2
I think that's Anne Hathaway, jac, if min is following her usual habit
8:49 pm
uusue2
and hi, ruru!
8:49 pm
Jacula
I found the link to this site in a Sunday supplement, tore it out because I thought it looked interesting, but didn't check it out until about 3 months later. When |I did check it out, I discovered it was a site I'd already been on years before.
8:50 pm
Jacula
Sue - well, if it's a fake pic again, I can't be doing with it any more. Yes, you need to be circumspect on the internet, but you can take it too far at times.
8:51 pm
uusue2
min often posts pictures of celebrities whose birthday is today, jac
8:51 pm
uusue2
sort of like I do the astronomy picture of the day
8:52 pm
Jacula
Oh, okay, Sue. I'm going to go off to bed now, writing quota for NaNoWriMo done. See you another time, all of you.xxxx
8:52 pm
gemini_J13
I think it is Anne Hathaway
8:52 pm
Minveryork
I WISH that was a pic of me! I am no way near as pretty as Ms. Hathaway.Used to have a pic of me in my profile but I took it out because it was a wedding picture of me and my hubby. It may still be on my Flickr page though.
8:52 pm
uusue2
night, jac, hope to see you again soon!
8:53 pm
uusue2
it is still there, min
8:54 pm
uusue2
by the way, min, your doggies look very sweet :-)
8:54 pm
Minveryork
I don't know uusue2. I NEVER go on my Flickr account so I guess it should be. I think once you post pics it stays there.
8:55 pm
uusue2
yes, I think probably you can remove them if you want to but I never have
8:55 pm
Minveryork
Just have one dog uusue2. I wish I had more than 1 though
8:56 pm
uusue2
Ah. There is a gentleman in my department who has a pair of therapy dogs that look just like yours. They are very sweet.

FMitch is a female from United Kingdom.
Excerpt from magazine artice by Dr God Autumn 2005:
"..............It became a place not only to talk about the game, but to swap stories about what players did last night, talk about movies, and even pass round recipes. If you're gong to create a gaming website, this kind of friendly community is a great thing to achieve. It gives players a reason to come back to the site more often and stay longer."
".... It was the Babble players, not me, who were responsible for transforming the entire spirit of Babble and making it into what it is today. Players began using the chat log to ask for and give clues to words. They even created their own Babble language to do so. Phrases like "Take the co6/27, drop the silent letter, and add 3 letters to the end - meaning and age or a period of time" became commonplace. The main goal of players was no longer to get the top score, but to finish the entire puzzle with the help of other players. What started as a competitive website slowly became one of peace, love, and cooperation."
".... One player, Brandyjack, even wrote his own script that would find all the words in a puzzle and spit back complete puzzle stats, which he would share with the other players by posting it to the chat log every morning. His daily puzzle stats soon became a fundamental part of playing Babble for most players. Players would clamour for it to be reposted all day long so that it would always be near the top of the chat log."
Back by popular demand the one and only .. original .. Penalty Box and The Old Cluerosity Shop.
Thanks (I think) to my babble buddies my new name is now Ameila Earheart Ermintrude Aolyisious Merganser FMitch. What a great name!!
"I can't be held responsible for my lack of self discipline, I just used it all up and haven't got any left"

Jacula
Sorry! I was just looking at this in my archives and it just posted itself. The spirit of Babble. God bless FMitch. xxx
9:03 pm
Jillyjill
Amen..now back, and yes jacula, we are FB friends...I was referring to minv...great post by the great babble ghost jacula, we all need a reminder..
9:04 pm
uusue2
(((jac))) that is so great!
9:05 pm
Jacula
Yes, Jillyjill - I think we do all need a reminder at times. I didn't mean to post that but it got posted anyway. I'm assuminf Fiona wanted to bang all our heads together and so ghosted my computer.
9:06 pm
Jillyjill
She was right!
9:07 pm
Jacula
And if anyone posts anything like, 'but that was in the old days when families shivered in the cold and small children survived in cardboard boxes in shoip doorways and it is not relevant, I'll thump them!
9:08 pm
Jillyjill
Good point jacula! I'll be right behind you with a big stick!
9:08 pm
Jacula
I must go to sleep now. If FM wants to post anything else she'll have to do it without me.
9:08 pm
uusue2
that was back when we walked five miles to school through the deep snow and it was uphill both ways, right? ;-)
9:08 pm
uusue2
night, jac!
9:09 pm
Jillyjill
Niters Jacula!
9:10 pm
Jillyjill
Ahhh...I finally get to see my new icon..it always takes a day before I can see it...
9:11 pm
Jacula
Is that hill ahead the last peak of Everest? Dons crampons, assembles climbing ropes and attempts to climb the stairs where bed and a snoring man lie.xxx
9:12 pm
Jacula
Note to self: ask friendly surgeon for new knees and ankles before attempting this climb again.
9:12 pm
Jillyjill
Adding new hips to my list...oh, and lungs...
9:13 pm
uusue2
I have new knees, they're nice but they don't do everything the old ones did before they went bad
9:13 pm
Nef
Good Evening Everybody! How are you all tonight? I just read back in the chog; thanks Jacula for reviving FM for us! :-)
9:13 pm
Jacula
Plants Union flag atop staircase, goes into bathroom and then crosses back to go to bed. WHUMPH! Aah! ZZZ
9:14 pm
o-o
To all who served. Tips hat to those who survived and learned to thrive. My respect too to those did what they could.
9:14 pm
Jillyjill
Hello nef ((hugs))
9:14 pm
Nef
hi sue; how's Frank?
9:14 pm
uusue2
improving quickly, nef!
9:14 pm
Jillyjill
Hello babblerabble! good thought btw...
9:15 pm
Nef
Wonderful, sue! I've been sending healing thoughts and prayers his way...
9:15 pm
Nef
hi BR and Jilly
9:16 pm
uusue2
his nose tube is out, he is eating clear liquids, the epidural should come out tomorrow morning
9:17 pm
Nef
Great news; but he may be hurting more after that epidural is out.
9:17 pm
uusue2
yes, he is very nervous about that
9:18 pm
uusue2
they will give him oral medication but it is not at all the same
9:18 pm
Jillyjill
Hopefully they will have him take an oral med before they pull the epidural...and should have an option for IV pain med if needed.
9:19 pm
Nef
true; but since he's been up and moving already; that will really help
9:19 pm
uusue2
well, his IV is still in so that should remain an option. And I had thought of leaving the epidural tube in, and will talk to them about that
9:20 pm
Nef
tell him to ask for an oral pain med before they pull the epidural (preferably at least 3/4 hour before)
9:21 pm
uusue2
will do, nef, thanks
9:22 pm
Nef
he should have the epidural out though; it's one more site for an infection if it's left in too long
9:22 pm
uusue2
yes, I know
9:22 pm
Minveryork
Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.
9:23 pm
Nef
hi Min; how are you tonight?
9:24 pm
Minveryork
I am well. Finished grid not long ago and I am here to clue
9:26 pm
Nef
it's a nasty grid
9:29 pm
Jillyjill
And how are things for you nef? and DH?
9:32 pm
Nef
DH will be having his neck surgery Nov. 26th; my hand is healing well from my surgery Nov. 3rd. I have a new RN clinic manager I'm orienting and she's got both hospital L&D and clinic prenatal and OB/GYN experience. I'm happy
9:33 pm
Jillyjill
Yay!! Does that mean retirement for you?
9:33 pm
uusue2
good luck to your DH, nef, and I am glad you are healing well!
9:34 pm
Nef
I'm imagining I'll be semi retired by the end of the month. (I'm going to be the RN manager of the whole prenatal program: Ultrasound, clinic and ChildBirth ED)
9:36 pm
Nef
They used glue to close the incisions, and I don't see any scar on the 1 incision closest to my wrist
9:36 pm
Naches girl
with a chatlog like this, who dares to be piddling and ask for a clue!!!
9:36 pm
Jillyjill
Yowsers! All I could think about when in Hawaii was how much I wish I could retire...
9:36 pm
Jillyjill
LOL, go for it naches girl!!
9:36 pm
uusue2
this will make you laugh, jill and nef - Frank has only just now learned that surgical staples are, in fact, staples! He was wondering what that metal was under his dressing...
9:37 pm
uusue2
ay + not out, naches
9:37 pm
Jillyjill
We can clue as well if needed...
9:37 pm
Nef
I missed nursing though, Jilly. This new position is more like 6-10 hours/month; overseeing all the rules and regs.
9:37 pm
Jillyjill
ROFL..poor Frank, he may never be the same...best not to share my tales of the OR right now...
9:37 pm
Naches girl
I keep forgetting it's also Hebrew!!!
9:38 pm
Minveryork
Hello Naches girl!How are you doing? Welcome to the chog
9:38 pm
Nef
sue, they ARE staples, just heavier than those from your office stapler.
9:38 pm
Minveryork
That ay 4/6 word is ay plus the opposite of out Naches girl.
9:38 pm
Jillyjill
Well, maybe Nef, but part of it is wishing I had all the time to just be with my hubby while things are still good...
9:39 pm
Naches girl
facing life's challenges, sometimes gracefully and today not so much!
9:40 pm
Jillyjill
(((naches girl))) there seem to be quite a few of those days going around...
9:40 pm
Nef
I hear you, Jilly and understand. My ED says I should be able to do a good part of my job at home. We shall see on that... My DH and I planned to go to Missoula for a family wedding in 2010; he hasn't been well enough to travel even 100 miles since.
9:41 pm
uusue2
I know that, nef, I've had them more than once. Somehow Frank thought that "staples" was some kind of code name for something plastic. It was pretty funny when he realized that they were pretty much like regular staples (he didn't like the image of being stapled, even though it's already been done). Pretty funny.
9:41 pm
uusue2
I assured him that removing them is a real non-event (he had pictured something like pulling staples out of paper)
9:41 pm
Nef
BUT, at the same time; you need to be away from your husband at times for your own sanity
9:42 pm
uusue2
(((naches))) we all have our non-graceful moments
9:42 pm
Jillyjill
I know, I also realized that I needed to find a friend I could unload some of my emotional garbage on..and I did, so am feeling better.
9:43 pm
Nef
sue, I LOVE the surgical staple removers! They are pretty cool to use and they don't hurt the patient either
9:43 pm
Jillyjill
actually uusue, they have a little device that pops them out. They are not hooked together, so one liitle pressure in center pops them right off
9:44 pm
uusue2
I told him that it tickles a little but that's it (it's been a while but that's my recollection)
9:44 pm
Nef
hi jmc. and naches girl, hi to you too
9:44 pm
jmcnrick
my boy had 14 staples in his head once
9:44 pm
Jillyjill
You are correct uusue...maybe a bit of a sting for some though..
9:44 pm
uusue2
I'm not sure he believes me, but he'll find out :-)
9:44 pm
Jillyjill
Poor little guy jmc!
9:44 pm
jmcnrick
i forget how many stitches. . . i was on first name basis with the pedi ER
9:45 pm
Nef
jmc; WHAT did he do?
9:45 pm
jmcnrick
he was a rabble rousher and earned nearly every staple and stitch! haha
9:45 pm
Jillyjill
Well, need to take a brief break...brb
9:45 pm
jmcnrick
bye jilly
9:45 pm
uusue2
I had staples when I had my hysterectomy and for at least one of my knee replacements, didn't count them, though
9:45 pm
uusue2
bye, jilly!
9:45 pm
jmcnrick
what didn't he do? vault up and down stairs, bike wrecks, etc. usual stupid boy tricks
9:46 pm
jmcnrick
i think it may be a guy thing to count uu
9:47 pm
Nef
it probably is a guy thing; I didn't count my stitches nor my staples; my son can tell you exactly how many stitches he had at age 4
9:47 pm
jmcnrick
nef i put you and your husband on my prayer list. . . may not help but i think it does
9:48 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm missing 2 p words
9:48 pm
Nef
I think it does too, jmc. Thank you

Nef

10:02 pm
Nef
Go, jmc! You can do it!
10:02 pm
