12:15 am

jillibus

The kind of tags I liked are no longer available here -- pain in the *** so I have to make some. The gold and silver pens I bought last year and never used (ankle break, remember) are totally dried up and I need them. No time to shop more -- stuff needs to be sent in advance in case it's too stormy for the ferries to get there on Xmas Eve with me aboard -- such as today!

12:15 am

jillibus

Some time ago Gremlinn gave a very useful hint about using morewords -- type a ^ into its box and then the letters which are missing from the grid. Copy it (Ctrl + C). Then when you go to morewords, enter the first 2 letters and a - for the rest of the letters needed. Paste (Ctrl + V). Hit Enter and the list will be much shorter. Saves time.

12:39 am

jmcnrick

<==tired of cheering

12:39 am

rururocks

;)

12:40 am

jmcnrick

huh? I will have to try that although i don't understand it at all

bye une

12:41 am

rururocks

night une

12:41 am

jillibus

jmc, copy and paste it to somewhere so you can print it out and figure it out. Really quite simple.

12:41 am

MollyL

Use dashes in morewords instead of asterisks. (Bet no one expected to see me here at this time)

12:41 am

rururocks

are you taking the doxy cycling?

12:41 am

rururocks

are you taking the doxy cycling?

12:41 am

rururocks

<--i sure didn't

12:42 am

jillibus

Hi Molly -- that's what I said.

12:42 am

jmcnrick

i did ty jilli and i use dashes most of the time in morewords

12:43 am

Lizlin

ty jilli and molly - just printed it off - will try to figure it out sometime. Sleep well if I don't see you again tonight. :)

12:43 am

rururocks

I wouldn't play this game if there wasn't a chat

12:48 am

jmcnrick

i dont think i would either ru. . . it would be too frustrating and not enough entertainment

12:48 am

jmcnrick

that is why i am so slow on wordswithfriends. . . there is a chat but it is not contemporaneous.

12:49 am

jillibus

I've made many REAL friends here via the chat.

Hi melon! :)

1:44 am

flosey

thanks melon, looking

1:44 am

negativeneil

How's it going?

1:44 am

negativeneil

Hey... see my December 12 update, melon.

1:45 am

MimiCat

Hi, all! Usually not here at this hour but had to call police re a domestic violence situation in my apt. complex, so now I'm awake!! Hey, neil, I used to live in LA area.

1:45 am

melonheadjujube

mostly good, tho tore some cartilage and am feeling quite cranky over it.

1:45 am

melonheadjujube

will do, Neil. brb

1:46 am

negativeneil

Oh no, melon. :( That must be so painful!

1:46 am

negativeneil

Hi MimiCat... and ugh. I've had to do that once too in another building I lived in.

1:46 am

flosey

thanks Melon, got them

1:46 am

negativeneil

Where in this area?

1:47 am

MimiCat

Brentwood, Marina Del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach. I really miss it. I've been in Phoenix most of the last 30 yrs....not "my people" here.

1:47 am

melonheadjujube

You're a diva, Neil? is there a video?

1:48 am

negativeneil

Haha. Not ME, melon. :P

1:48 am

MimiCat

So, neil, I gather from the chog you're a musician? Until 3 yrs. ago I still sang with a classic rock band.

1:49 am

negativeneil

I'm just being dragged on there by tomorrow's host, who thought that was a good idea for some reason. :P I'm not so sure! Haha.

1:49 am

negativeneil

Not really, Mimicat... other than playing piano but strictly for my own enjoyment. I had piano lessons growing up.

1:50 am

negativeneil

I've never been a professional musician in any capacity or performed for anyone, other than family and friends in private. Oh and piano recitals. :P

1:50 am

melonheadjujube

yeah, horrid. I tore a ligament in L ankle, dawdled about seeing a doc, threw out my gait, hurting R hip. Considering I used to walk everywhere and go salsa dancing, I'm feeling awfully confined. Hip hurts like made, PT and water exercise don't seem to help. Oddly, I can still bicycle 10 or 15 miles every other day, or maybe not so odd since cycling doesn't bear weight, and improves my range of motion. I can't jump, run, or even take the stairs more than one flight. Awful. OK, I'm done boohooing.

1:51 am

MimiCat

I studied piano for 6 years in my youth. I'm classically trained in voice but know my former voice coach rolls over in her grave when I rock out to Heart and Pat Benatar!!

1:52 am

MimiCat

I know how you feel, mel....I had a heart attack earlier this year and am less active than I'm used to being also. Getting old isn't for sissies!!

1:52 am

melonheadjujube

speaking of music, I played a little jazz bass this evening. Our synagogue had a jazz night, and someone let me play their bass. I had never played with an amplifier before, now I've got a gift idea for myself...

1:53 am

MimiCat

There you go, mel!! Rock it on out!

1:53 am

melonheadjujube

Oh, Mimi, heart attack so much scarier. I am scared tho, that I won't get my level of activity back. I'm too young to be thinking hip replacement (58), aren't I?

1:54 am

flosey

another useful hobby, while being enjoyable too

1:54 am

grannyrose

hey melon, mimi, flosey...Neil...GT??

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

It is possibly a labral tear, the labrum being the cartilage that lines the hip socket. Onset was rather sudden, tho i had some odd mobility issues without pain earlier this year.

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

hi, grannyrose.

1:54 am

negativeneil

Mimi, check email.

1:54 am

gapeach

flosey, did you get the fr7?

1:55 am

MimiCat

Can't say I'm a fan of those replacement surgeries...haven't heard anything good about the aftermath. You'll get your activity level back.

1:55 am

grannyrose

hey peach

1:55 am

negativeneil

You play bass, melon? Electric bass?

1:55 am

melonheadjujube

I did rock it out Mimi. Now i'm hitting the hay. Nite, all! {poof}

1:55 am

gapeach

Hey there, rose.

1:56 am

2:23 am

3:51 am

Jivingjenny0

I've just come on Jilly

3:52 am

Jillyjill

Hello jivingjenny...thanks

3:52 am

Jivingjenny0

whereabouts are you and what time is it?

3:54 am

Jillyjill

USA-Montana and it's almost 3 am... *sigh*... how about you?

3:54 am

Jivingjenny0

Oxford, England and it's 10a.m. time for morning tea!

3:54 am

Jillyjill

Have a cup on me!

3:55 am

Jivingjenny0

I'm on my own this morning and am enjoying the quiet

3:56 am

Jillyjill

LOL...I am sitting here babbling and watching Dr Who...

3:57 am

Jivingjenny0

Dr. Who will certainly help you sleep - not. My granddaughter aged 10 is a huge fan of Dr. Who and has managed to collect quite a few autographs and pictures of the cast members

3:58 am

Jillyjill

This is an repeat from 2011...

3:58 am

Jivingjenny0

I stopped watching in during the series that the Daleks first appeared!!

4:02 am

Jillyjill

It's a bit freaky...I watched in the 70's...quite a difference

4:05 am

Jivingjenny0

I love your picture of the Advent candles. I miss going to Church, but I am not well enough at the moment. My daughter runs the Sunday School and is very committed to the Youth Ministry.

4:07 am

Jillyjill

Wow, I lead the high school youth ministry here...I am sorry you are ill ((hugs))

4:09 am

Jivingjenny0

When Caroline started going to our Church, there were 6 children on the register for Sunday School and now there are 20+.

4:09 am

Jillyjill

That's wonderful. Anglican or Catholic?

4:10 am

Jivingjenny0

Anglican

4:11 am

Jillyjill

Catholic here, but hey, we're kissing cousins. Actually my oldest is Episcopalian...he calls it Catholic lite.

4:11 am

Jivingjenny0

I had a Pulmonary Embollism and was rushed into hospita when I lcollapse - it was touch and go for a bit, but I am home and really well again now, but just frustrated that I can't seem to get that last bit better and be completely well.

4:13 am

Jillyjill

Will keep you in my prayers...as for now, feeling a bit sleepy, may head to the pillows again. Very nice to meet you jivingjenny! Hope to run into you again!

4:13 am

Jivingjenny0

good-night Jilly

5:57 am

MollyL

Don't apologize, I love mad moments. : )

5:59 am

Lizlin

HI Molly and zooz :)

6:00 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Lizlin :-)

6:11 am

zoozzoom

ahh found one of the 8 letter words..at last.

6:12 am

Biltong

yay, zooz.. I have the fr8, which one did you find?

6:12 am

zoozzoom

same one..lol

6:12 am

Lizlin

I have both 8s if you want a clue :)

6:13 am

zoozzoom

just the stats please, liz..for me

6:13 am

Lizlin

or 8 / 45

6:13 am

zoozzoom

Thank you

6:14 am

Biltong

Ah, found it, thanks Liz.

6:15 am

MollyL

I love it when someone asks for stats, and stats is all they get. I don't understand why people give clues when stats are asked for.

6:15 am

Lizlin

yw :)

6:15 am

Biltong

Liz, do you have the stats for the D's please?

6:15 am

Lizlin

It's simple if people read properly!

6:16 am

Lizlin

dr4,7
dr5,12

6:16 am

zoozzoom

Dr 4/7 and Dr 5/12

6:17 am

zoozzoom

oops..i was too slow..lol

6:17 am

Lizlin

Just started using list - gave in quite early today at about 55 left! Now down to 45 but not doing much more tonight

6:17 am

Biltong

ty Liz and zooz, got them.

6:18 am

zoozzoom

Just found the Or8...many thanks.

6:18 am

MollyL

This is not an easy grid. I don't care what any of the Babble Geniuses say. : D

6:18 am

Lizlin

yw :)

6:18 am

Lizlin

I'm with you on that Molly

6:19 am

zoozzoom

I am down to 14 more to find with no list yet.

6:19 am

Biltong

Well done zooz, that's good going. I too am not finding this one very easy at all :)

6:19 am

zoozzoom

Note i did say, Yet..lol

6:21 am

Biltong

I am just under halfway and stuck

6:22 am

zoozzoom

Although i hardley use the list...i do on the other hand spend many many hours in stealth mode playing...some people on here can finish the grid in less than half an hour..amazing.

6:23 am

Lizlin

I've no idea how they manage that! I'm in awe of that!

6:23 am

MollyL

It seems like this game would not be much of a challenge to people who can whiz through it like that.

6:24 am

Lizlin

I guess that the longer you play, the more used you become to some of the words and tracking in all directions. I've only been playing since the end of August - am def better now than I was!

6:24 am

zoozzoom

Same here, Liz..i noticed a babbler of the name of Michdick or something like that..finishes the grid in minutes..geez..it takes my brain ages to warm up first..lol

6:25 am

Lizlin

Me too - I see very little at first but then gradually I see more and more.

6:30 am

zoozzoom

If i do list..i don`t mind missing the odd babblet..but when you see you have missed massive fish..i could almost swear in frustration..lol

6:30 am

Lizlin

I'm off for the evening - need to cool down! About 22 C this evening (it's 10.30 now). Back to finish tomorrow! Good luck with the grid :)

6:30 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Lizlin..nice talking to you.

6:31 am

Biltong

Bye Liz

6:31 am

Lizlin

:) Bye all

6:33 am

MollyL

I'm not sure I could even type 150 words in 4 minutes.
: D

6:34 am

zoozzoom

Well i know i can`t..but there are some very fast typists out there.

6:35 am

MollyL

I know a legal secretary who types 95 words per minute. That is the fastest I know, personally. I can do 60 on a good day.

6:36 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for or8, please?

6:36 am

zoozzoom

I think sixty is very good, Molly..i am no where near that..lol

6:37 am

Marc Freeman

felo

6:37 am

MollyL

or8...beginning of braces doctor + red ro*** for a blue lady

6:37 am

Marc Freeman

sorry

6:37 am

MollyL

I work with someone who brags about 60 words per minute with two fingers, but his typing is full of typos, so no one believes him.

6:37 am

zoozzoom

OR + a letter + what you use to water the garden plural

6:38 am

Marc Freeman

thanks Molly and zoo got it

7:33 am

one of those grids where you start wondering how there can be anymore words

7:35 am

Anniebrook

I have found throughout my Babble years when carlee would say a grid is difficult I found it the opposite and vice versa. Today is the same. Babblers are saying this is a difficult grid and I am finding it to be a medium easy.

7:36 am

Anniebrook

It is when babblers say a grid it easy, I know I am in trouble.

7:36 am

sprite

it is very personal, that is true. I have struggled through grids where most Babblers were flying through.

7:37 am

dan2bit

8:03 am

Anniebrook

It is 9 AM here and I am getting an early start to my day which is what I need. Bye sprite and everyone. Have a great day

8:03 am

sprite

that would be very good. And maybe it will have done her good to get a breather from home and a bit of distance, so it will be easier to relativate.

8:03 am

sprite

bye Annie, have a wonderful day *hug*

hello. Is anybody home?

12:33 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby..how was your stay in london?

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

it was grand, but I came home a day early because the wheels were coming off at home and husband couldn't cope

12:35 pm

zoozzoom

Oh dear..sorry to hear that...hope everything is now ok...sad you could not enjoy your stay to the full though.

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

I really love London but find it somewhat overwhelming, having become a country person

12:36 pm

MollyL

Darn it Ruby, I'm sorry you had to cut your trip short.

12:36 pm

zoozzoom

Yes i know what you mean..i lived there for a while myself...not for me.

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

it was OK molly,; I had two great days, lots of time hanging out with the family and attended the great party but then felt it wasn't fair to spend another day just hanging out while husband suffered. It only cost an extra ticket etc.....

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

and I took cabs -- felt like a princess

12:38 pm

MollyL

Why was your husband suffering?

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

he couldn't get anything to work: TV, stove, etc. and I still haven't been able to figure out what he did to the television. Will have to have a repairman tomorrow

12:43 pm

periwinkle

hi all, got a neat pair of boots to wear with my skinny jeans for 40% off and I have 2 $10.00 here at home. If I bring them in they will take $20 more off of the price!!

periwinkle

2 $10 coupons that is

12:43 pm

periwinkle

hi there ruby, glad you had fun but sorry you had to come home a day early

12:44 pm

periwinkle

ty ruby, did not have tht one

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

it was great anyway and the guilt would have killed the last day, anyway

12:45 pm

periwinkle

that guilt thing, I understand

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

for me to be hanging out, eating snacks with my nephews and playing babblye with Shadow while he can't get anything to work, didn't seem fair

12:47 pm

periwinkle

does he get them to work when you are home, or do you do most everything at home

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

<-- does everything

12:47 pm

periwinkle

just wondering if it was a ploy to get you back

12:47 pm

periwinkle

ah, I understand now

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

no, he was truly surprised. I don't think he has that much guile in him

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

and he really wanted me to have fun

12:48 pm

periwinkle

ok

12:48 pm

sammysmom

SOUNDS ;ole walter ruby........ tho he DID make himself a cup of coffee once.... i think it was about 20 years ago

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

yes, he knows how to work the coffee machine, but didn't empty the used capsules

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

by tomorrow he would've been SOL

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

1:07 pm

hego

6:04 pm

Lizlin

You probably remember Ruby, that we whale watch for 6 months in winter - southern humpbacks.

6:04 pm

6:05 pm

Lizlin

We love it too - husband photographs them more than I do.

6:05 pm

rubyfoo

maybe someday, when I'm even older, I'll get to travel that far!

6:05 pm
