Small grids like this one are not that unusual ...and even smaller ones.

yesterday we had a brutal cold windstorm, snow again (not much) last night and now a wan cold sun is shining
4:56 am
o-o
Yes, that too.
4:59 am
o-o
As Enable is the final arbiter of words that make the list, Dr_God's program is arbiter of the size of the grid.
5:00 am
rubyfoo
fie on him!
5:02 am
o-o
Dr_God has told me he has not control over the size of grid. I reminded him he wrote the program ... he stills says it is done at random ... like he cannot change his own program.
5:02 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, now my words won't go in
5:02 am
rubyfoo
sorry about tht
5:03 am
o-o
nothing to be sorry about ... it happens far too frequently

We are under the spell of a malison.
5:07 am

don't know that word; is it French?

(((Annie))) good morning!
7:45 am
Mom
hello Welki! I didn't see you pop in
7:45 am
welki
hi, annie (had veggie cream cheese when i was back east - yum!)
7:45 am
Mom
are you glade to be home?
7:45 am
Anniebrook
((Mom)) good morning to you too? A baby grid today, I see.
7:45 am
Mom
and it is a killer, for me anyway
7:45 am
welki
tough question, mom - yes, glad to be home on some levels, but hard to leave those babies behind
7:46 am
Anniebrook
Hi welki! Wasn't it just divine? Did Jersey look any different to you ?
7:46 am
Mom
it would have to be tough
7:46 am
welki
always is - same thing when they visit here. maybe someday, we'll be able to be closer
7:47 am
Anniebrook
welki, I'm having veggie cream cheese on a bialy right now
7:47 am
Mom
Welki, you are originally from the US
7:47 am
welki
annie, it was great - i picked some up, and nova lox and whitefish salad - a feast!
7:47 am
Mom
what is a bialy, Annie?
7:48 am
welki
yep, from new york/new jersey. moved here 16 years ago
7:48 am
Mom
job transfer or wanted a change of scenery? if you don't mind my asking
7:48 am
welki
bialy = a little bit o' heaven
7:48 am
Anniebrook
It resembles a flattish sort of roll, with a center filled with onion and baked. O
7:49 am
Anniebrook
The onions become carmelized and it is made of gluten flour. Best I can do.
7:49 am
Mom
we have nothing like that here
7:49 am
Anniebrook
Welki said it better.
7:50 am
Mom
if I ever see them here, I will be sure to pick some up
7:50 am
welki
i didn't make it down to the shore, annie, so other than some tree damage, jersey looked pretty much the same to me. besides, i was busy looking at the kids :)
7:51 am
Anniebrook
I love babies, so sweet and innocent
7:52 am
Mom
I love babies too
7:52 am
welki
the move was just a result of changing circumstances, mom, nothing too complicated
7:53 am
Mom
so glad you enjoyed yourself and so glad you are back home.
7:53 am
Mom
in the picture are you sitted in front of TO?
7:53 am
Anniebrook
welki, do you ever miss living back east?
7:53 am
welki
yes i do, annie - would move back in a heartbeat if we could
7:54 am
Anniebrook
maybe, one day
7:55 am
welki
that said, i have a pretty good life here - grass is always greener
7:56 am
Mom
do your children visit often?
7:57 am
welki
seems like someone's always here or we're there, but not often enough - there's usually an extended visit by the kids in the summer and one in the fall
7:57 am
Mom
summer will be here soon and they will be there
7:58 am
welki
and i sure owe the creator of Skype a big thank you
7:58 am
Mom
isn't it wonderful?

Why soy grape nuts instead of the real thing?
12:32 pm
crosshair

12:32 pm
uusue2
I still have some frozen ground venison in my freezer, better make a shepherd's pie with it soon - we are starting to move out
12:33 pm
crosshair

12:33 pm
uusue2
they are gluten free, molly, and high in protein and fiber, and I can buy them in bulk cheaply
12:33 pm
Uneaixoise
marinated in red wine . . . yum -- but not appropriate for our homeless guys!
12:34 pm
uusue2
I don't have to eat gluten free, but Frank does, so I try to keep gluten stuff out of the kitchen

That's interesting. I think venison has a very distinct smell. Must just be me.
12:39 pm
crosshair
reading a babble grid is almost like owning a deck of old time tarrok cards
12:40 pm
TraderKate
i agree molly, but it is very tasty if prepared well - danger of drying out if not careful though
12:40 pm
crosshair
it does,molly.the iron content is much higher and a keen nose can detect it even before tasting
12:40 pm
TraderKate
lawyer words crossy?
12:42 pm
crosshair
deer are funny that way.that is why when we used to hunt we never let a wounded one run any longer than was possible. a deer can replace blood at an amazing rate when the wound is small,but if you let it run and run,the iron content gets so high the meat is inedible,nevermind the fact that you do not let an animal suffer
12:42 pm
TraderKate

crosshair
for the m,s i have to get together with someone and to make a noise.what is the last one please?
2:29 pm
knutmeg
Being land locked, means all "fresh" fish is more like "questionable" so I don't buy it.
2:29 pm
knutmeg
the last M is to portion out.
2:29 pm
rubyfoo
that's how I feel, knut, the fresh fish is NOT
2:29 pm

land locked is not nice sounding.i have never lived more that 5 minutes from a large body of water

when I was a kid, my father would go fishing and bring home fish that were alive which my mother would have to thwack
2:32 pm
knutmeg
yw. we've lakes and lakes of catfish, and Lake Michigan is a 20 minute drive, but most of our grocery stores don't buy from local fishermen, they buy from suppliers that flash freeze and ship.
2:33 pm
crosshair
i remember as a child my da and i going out in the pre-dawn,the smell of the water and the fog haze hanging over the still water and we would set outquietly with the waking sound of the loons in our ears and the plink of the dew dripping off the ends of our rods and making endless circles in the water.the second the sun peeked over the horizon to burn the fog off the water,we would make our first cast.ahh i miss the shore breakfasts...

I'm out of time boo hiss
2:37 pm
knutmeg
that's a nice memory cross. My one fishing excursion as a child was horrifying. My best friend and I borrowed a couple of poles from her dad and walked to the local lake (a man-made affair created in the 60s) and dropped our lines off the pier. The fish were excited and bit right away and I pulled up my first ever catfish... that literally had three eyes, and more whiskers than necessary. I screamed all the way home, and left my poor friend with the fun task of reporting the fish to the local conservation district. Eating fish from that lake was banned immediately, and they're still working to restore the lake, nearly 20 years later.
2:38 pm
crosshair
bah! tell everyone to wait
2:38 pm
rubyfoo
that is horrible knut
2:38 pm
crosshair
that is sad indeed,knutmeg.a beautiful thing was tainted for you
2:39 pm
rubyfoo
my only bad fishing story was catching a nasty large Brown eel that was so scary looking that I cut my line
2:40 pm
knutmeg
It made me aware of the dangers of man-made lakes, chemical dumping, and the need to support our conservation districts.
2:40 pm
rubyfoo
I'll have to come back for the last 3 or husband will shoot me
2:42 pm
knutmeg
what are you missing??
2:42 pm
crosshair
i can still smell my dads after shave and the smell of the strong coffee from the red and checker thermos,and the smell of the outboard.the silence going slowly through water than looked like fabric cut from the night itself but dawn,dawnings on the water are worth all those days of getting up at 4 am.the gentle first touch of heat on your face and you get to casting.it is a quiet world just the two of you fishing. then the excitment as the rod bends over for the first time of the day:)
2:43 pm
knutmeg
Its peaceful just to read. :)
2:43 pm
crosshair
sorry,i tend to ramble sometimes
2:47 pm
knutmeg
nagh, its fine. Makes me think back, what do I remember fondly? Best childhood memory was riding my bike a few blocks over to the strip of forested land between our subdivision and the cornfields. I'd bring my walkman and a book, climb through the bramble to a "secret" hideout. There I'd scramble up the tree to a forked limb six feet or so up and settle in, listening to the tormented strains of Beethoven or Tchaikovsky and reading for hours.
2:49 pm
crosshair
lol,figured you were younger when you said walkman.i had a old japanese transistor radio that took the old square 9 volt batteries my allowance was 25 cents a week so week one i would get a bag of chips and a pop but week two took the entire 25 cents for a bettery for the radio and i would just alternate
2:50 pm
crosshair
so i have to be thrifty with the transistor and make the battery last two weeks
2:51 pm
crosshair
5 cent return deposit on the pop bottle though for candy
2:52 pm
knutmeg
I was a music nut (knut?) so my parents would always get me a boombox or walkman for my birthdays. I didn't have an allowance as mine was used for private lessons (I played French Horn), but I used babysitting money to buy blank tapes and record off the radio or steal from my parent's collection. I was probably 11 or 12 at the time.
2:56 pm
knutmeg
amusingly, I don't think my daughter would have a clue what to do with a cassette. She could probably figure out a CD... if we had any.
2:57 pm
crosshair
should of seen my son when he found my old 8-track tapes in the back of the closet
2:58 pm
dan2bit
miss2bit expects all screens to respond to touch & swipe. Including the TV
2:58 pm
crosshair
heck,i used to have a 16 track reel to reel.beautiful sound but only 15 minutes per reel so you learned to splice tape in a hurry
2:58 pm
knutmeg
We had an 8-track player in our garage when I was a little kid with a box of 8 tracks. My dad wouldn't let us try them though. We also had a turntable until my parents moved away in 1999.
2:58 pm
crosshair
hehe,thats cute,dan
2:59 pm
crosshair
she is a child of the modern age for sure
2:59 pm
dan2bit
definitely
2:59 pm
crosshair
my son looks at me funny when i told him we used to buy an entire record just to get one song:)
3:01 pm
knutmeg
My daughter is the same, dan. She's a pro at many platforms, though. Made a clever play for a Nintendo 3DS for her birthday next week by creating a "commercial" on her computer explaining that her old DS is ready to retire. She's turning 7 next week.
3:02 pm
crosshair
wish you were closer knutmeg.i have a nintendo wii gather dust.thing only has two week of play on it.first 100 dollars can have it
3:04 pm
crosshair
used it for two weeks,did not care for it and i packed it back in the box and it has been in the coset ever since
3:04 pm
knutmeg
we've one of those, already. My husband is a semi-professional beta-tester for many games, so anything game related is generally bought prior to its release date.
3:04 pm
crosshair
interesting knutmeg.i was an official beta tesyer for call of duty,battlefield 1942 and several other games as well as admin on gamespy.com
3:05 pm
crosshair
gamespy is mostly legacy software now;((
3:06 pm
crosshair
it outlived it's usefulness
3:06 pm
knutmeg
That's cool. He is currently Alpha testing Defiance and beta-testing a Marvel RPG. I think he has three or four other games he is beta-testing, too, but those are his two main projects.
3:07 pm
crosshair
i never cared for alpha testing.that is like hacking away the errors.i like beta as it is hunting down and correcting those last few bugs and easter eggs
3:08 pm
crosshair
nthing like amking it perfect so it can go gold on schedule
3:09 pm
crosshair
wow,i need a typist for me
3:10 pm
knutmeg
If it makes you feel better, I'm down a thumb, so the spacebar is tricky. Defiance is a weird one. He was a beta, and was moved into Alpha because of his reporting. Their main game is done, but the DLC and some of the cross-platform content is being updated.
3:11 pm
knutmeg
I think the game comes out in a month.
3:13 pm
crosshair
yes,that is a issue we did not have to deal with as much.cross platforming means giving up something to make it run on all systems.sometimes you have to water a computer game down to make it viable for the wii for example
3:14 pm
crosshair
like microsoft did for windows 8.it is a so-so os for the computer,but they had theri flagship windows tablet coming out and had to make it work with both
3:15 pm
knutmeg
Yeah, he's testing on the PC, so what was once detailed is now not so, and vice versa. But they're getting there.
3:15 pm
crosshair
they figure tablets will grow and overtake desk top computer sales very soon.heck,i have a new tablet coming this summer that is quad core and almost a desk top replacement.actually it IS a laptop replacent
3:16 pm
crosshair
as cloud computing becomes more mainstream we find that a optical drive is almost not needed
3:17 pm
crosshair
cloud,p2p downloads,digital hard drives.heck the computer disk itself is an endangered species
3:18 pm
knutmeg
I'm not sure it will happen as quickly as they think though. My husband and I are in the market for a replacement for my laptop. And weighing what we need vs. cost has led us to realize that we need a desktop, not a laptop or tablet. Its like going backwards almost. We have two tablets, though. the Originial iPad and an Google Nexus, and find the iPad to be our second TV, and the nexus to be more of a book.
3:19 pm
crosshair
i bought my mrs a toshiba lappy it is quad core with two seperate video cards,1 dedicated for gaming and 8 gig or ram and a terra drive.all for 800 dollars.it is indeed a desktop replacement
3:19 pm
crosshair
i have heard good things about the nexus 10,but am going for a asus transformer infinity tablet
3:20 pm
knutmeg
If we can find a good gaming laptop for about that price range, then I prefer a laptop. Who sits at desks anymore?? (Especially since I don't have a desk)
3:20 pm
crosshair
i highly reccomend a toshiba like i bought the mrs
3:20 pm
crosshair
it had the a10 quad core chipsets
3:21 pm
crosshair
she can play skyrim on it with settings maxed
3:21 pm
crosshair
it is more powerful than the desktop i am on now lol
3:23 pm
knutmeg
Yeah, skyrim and Star Wars are the two games I want to play. I bought this laptop without considering gaming needs and have spent the last two years frustrating the hell out of my husband.

It's not "hard" to make your own corned beef. But it's a lot easier to let someone else do it for you.
4:57 pm
jmcnrick
well what can i say. . . i make my own pickles.
4:57 pm

I make pickles and they are good home made. There is an element of "freshness" there. Not so much with meat. Unless you butcher your own too.

Good. It always brings your spirits up when he is around.

For sure Molly. And, en route from the airport, we're going to divert to see my Mom, who will also be bolstered by a visit from this Wonder-kid!!

Don't worry Molls. I'm sure New Orleans will paint the town Green too! :-)

could I have help with ep5,14 and te6,27 please/
8:55 pm
uusue2
ep5/14 = ep + come blow your ***n
8:56 pm
uusue2
te6/27 = non-permanent worker (te4/6) + Canadian interjection
8:56 pm
RoundBarn
rasta, if you're on--I can't get any more words even with some clues. You need to hide this game on my computer like Spider, I muat have an addictive personality to some games even ones I can't do well.
8:57 pm
uusue2
more stereotypically Canadian, tessa :-)
8:57 pm
uusue2
and hi RoundBarn, have you tried using lickety's clues?
9:01 pm
uusue2
fireworks!
9:01 pm
RoundBarn
glad to see you're on, I'll stay a little longer. No, I haven't tried Lickey, I will. and I sld pay the paltry sum and be pro, then I'd get the stats, I need to ask daughter rasta what some of the abbreviations mean. sshe was here recently from the west while I had a foot op, and put me onto this. Now you are my friend, and I feel others are.
9:02 pm
uusue2
it's a wonderful community, RoundBarn. I took a vacation last August and visited several babblers; we all had a wonderful time. And the stats are very helpful!
9:02 pm
shorty
help please te6/24
9:03 pm

Thank you uusue!
9:03 pm
uusue2
the guy who fixes your computer, shorty
9:04 pm
uusue2
and yw, tessa!
9:05 pm
RoundBarn
that te6 24 seems to bother many players. I'll stop in DeK one of these visits north, uusue. Have to get my taxes to delavan wis tax guy, see D#4,and see an editor prob next wkend--also you're in school.
9:09 pm
RoundBarn
how do you tune in to Lickety? Does he have to be on line?
9:09 pm
uusue2
I'm a chair, RoundBarn, so am busy whether the students are around or not - it would be awesome just to take a break for coffee!
9:10 pm
uusue2
no, just click on the link under the puzzle that says "Lickety's Babble Clues". It will give you the first two letters and points for each of the words in the grid, and you can copy and paste your whole word list into it so you can see what you are missing.
9:11 pm
RoundBarn
Thanks, uusue!
9:16 pm
RoundBarn
Anyone: I've looked now--who IS Lickety, does he do this for fun ?
9:17 pm
grannyrose
roundbarn, lickety is the ex-husband of one of our founding players. he made the program with can extrapolate all words found in the grid.
9:19 pm
uusue2
He doesn't actually play the game, but keeps up his site so we can get the clues. Every once in a while he doesn't update it and then we are all lost :-)
9:20 pm
mich_pdx
we really, really appreciate Lickety!!
9:20 pm
grannyrose
he then posts the clues for us. sometimes he is busy with his kids i.e. on weekends or when it is his turn to have them for a while. but he is usually very reliable.and weall are very grateful for his assistance.
9:22 pm
welki
hi babblers
9:22 pm
grannyrose
roundbarn, the list is based on 'Enable ' dictionary. it is just a list of words, no meanings. hence, you can see the question mark to the left of your word list. if you click on that, a dictionary meaning opens for you.
9:23 pm

CRACKERSnTEA??? did you forget which way is up? *confused mama look*
11:07 pm
stidmama
but hello... ;-)
11:07 pm
stidmama
how are the cookie sales going/
11:07 pm
CrackersNTea
somehow, I cannot sign in under my e-mail, etc. and when I reregistered, I had to switch it up.
11:07 pm
CrackersNTea
they are going. I will be so glad when March is over.
11:08 pm
stidmama
weird. Dr G could probably fix it?
11:08 pm
CrackersNTea
no biggie. G should get to go first sometimes ;)
11:08 pm
stidmama
LOL we will ALL be glad when March is over. It's hard to have to keep saying no... (allergies mean we can't eat those cookies)
11:08 pm
stidmama
true, but it was discombobulating for me at first. I thought you were an imposter!
11:09 pm
stidmama
I am so pleased you are enjoying subbing.
11:09 pm
CrackersNTea
ohmigosh!
11:10 pm
CrackersNTea
I have decided I do not want to be a kindergarten teacher when I grow up, though.
11:10 pm
CrackersNTea
next week, I sub for first grade for 4 days - we shall see how that goes.
11:12 pm
stidmama
They are a fun age, first graders. MUCH more independent and capable than kindergartners. Generally speaking...
11:13 pm
stidmama
I enjoy that age, just my body doesn't let me do the things that need doing.
11:13 pm
CrackersNTea
I really enjoy 2nd and 3rd the best. But, I've subbed quite a bit for this 1st grade class, so we get along well.
11:13 pm
stidmama
Last time I subbed in first grade I spent the next six weeks back on cane and crutches.
11:14 pm
stidmama
I can do 2nd grade easier, but they are still really hard on the tricky hip. 3rd is about as little as I could commit to as a full-time permanent gig.
11:15 pm
stidmama
Truthfully, as difficult as the kids I am with right now have been, I really enjoy middle school. This was an extreme case, and coming in mid-year the way I did made it even harder. Things are actually pretty smooth now...
11:16 pm
CrackersNTea
I'm glad to hear that. I have decided that 4 days a week is a little much, with all of our other commitments, but this teacher is having surgery on Tuesday, so I made an exception.
11:17 pm
stidmama
When I do the day-to-day subbing a four-day week is MORE than enough, energy-wise (but barely enough money-wise).
11:17 pm
stidmama
Having a multi-week gig, despite the long hours grading and planning, is easier on me during the day because I have down-time even when I have kids in class.
11:17 pm
CrackersNTea
it will be a little easier next year since the kids will be in the same school again. this two different elementary schools is a PITA
11:17 pm
stidmama
As a one- or two-day sub I have to be alert ALL the time when kids are in the room, which I find is more draining.
11:18 pm
stidmama
OH!!!! I AM DOWN TO THREE!!!!
11:18 pm
ChampFit
How on Earth did you do that? awesome!
11:19 pm
stidmama
thanks Champ -- I was monkeying while listening to my froggies outside.
11:21 pm
stidmama
Tea -- did you see this about a troop down in Portland? I cannot believe anyone would be so terribly cruel to children. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/198\n559251.html
11:22 pm
stidmama
sorry about the long url... *sigh*
11:23 pm
CrackersNTea
as sad as it is, it doesn't surprise me. One of our troops took a counterfeit $100 bill a couple of weekends ago - the lady bought one box of cookies, so they were out $104, basically.
11:24 pm
CrackersNTea
Last weekend, there was a lady going to all the Walmart cookie booths passing stolen checks. She passed two for $80 and one for $100. Evil evil people.
11:28 pm
stidmama
Why do people even think it's appropriate? That's what bothers me. There are people who actually don't see anything wrong with stuff like that. I had a student once tell me that it wasn't illegal if you didn't get caught... I know that student had heard it from parentals.
11:30 pm
CrackersNTea
The lady passing stolen checks - one of our leaders took her picture as she was getting in her car, and then took a picture of her license plate. She had the gall to go into the store and complain to security that the Girl Scouts were bothering her.
11:31 pm
CrackersNTea
I'm pooped and I give up! Night all!
11:31 pm
stidmama
Good for that leader!
11:32 pm
stidmama
