1:34 am

sprite

Joso, I tried that puzzle site yesterday, but when I click a puzzle, a download starts with an extension I don't recognize.

1:35 am

sprite

dailypuzzle.dcr is it

1:40 am

Lizlin

BBL - enjoy the grid.

1:40 am

sprite

bye Liz, have a good one

1:41 am

rbud

hi, all! never heard of a .dcr file before, looked it up. some sort of shockwave file for games and "other highly interactive content"

1:42 am

sprite

hiya rbud :) Thank you.

1:42 am

sprite

how are you doing today, rbud?

1:42 am

joso

sorry it didn't work for you sprite, I'm not sure why, should just bring you to a site where a jigsaw loads

1:43 am

joso

do you have add block?

1:43 am

rbud

I know one of my older model computers wouldn't do shockwave for some reason, a different bit amount (32 vs 64) but I don't recall the exact problem.

1:45 am

joso

I know adblock caused the page to fail for me until I turned it off for that site.

1:47 am

joso

hi rbud

1:50 am

Glantarell

morning all

1:50 am

sprite

hiya Glant

1:51 am

sprite

no, it is not adblock that is the problem, it is adobe shockwave. Am installing it now for Chrome.

1:51 am

Glantarell

hi sprite - how was your trip to the clinic?

1:51 am

grannyrose

hello my friends.

1:51 am

sprite

yep, that worked, joso.

1:51 am

sprite

hi rose *hugs*

1:52 am

Glantarell

hi rose

1:52 am

sprite

Glant, it was taxing but went well. I will start end of this month in a 1-day-a-week group for obesitas - eating disorders.

1:53 am

Glantarell

glad it went well. is the group local or do you need to travel?

1:53 am

sprite

name that proper noun, part of Manhattan

1:53 am

joso

ah, you surprise me sprite, thought that would already be setup on your machine

1:54 am

joso

hi rose, glan

1:54 am

sprite

I need to travel, but probably only the way up there by public transportation. Back I can catch a ride with my love.

1:54 am

Glantarell

hi joso

1:54 am

Glantarell

oh that's good sprite

1:54 am

sprite

apparently not, joso. Guess I have not needed it yet since I had to reinstall everything.

1:58 am

sprite

name that proper noun, part of Manhattan

2:00 am

grannyrose

nope, you got me, sprite. but then geography etc are not my best topics. lol

2:00 am

joso

ya got me sprite

2:00 am

Glantarell

me neither

2:00 am

sprite

lol ok... it is SoHo

2:01 am

Glantarell

ah, if you'd said an area in London i may have got that

2:01 am

Glantarell

didn't know there was a soho in manhattan too

2:01 am

sprite

hm ok, should have asked part of london and part of Manhattan then :)

2:02 am

Glantarell

no, because i learnt something, which is always good :-)

2:02 am

sprite

:)

2:03 am

sprite

rose, how are you doing? And how is Don and how is the daughter holding up with Mother Mac?

2:03 am

joso

I'm with Glan, would have got it if london was mentioned.... fer sur...

2:04 am

sprite

my bad ;)

2:07 am

grannyrose

sorry, meandered off for a bit, am back again..well, duh, rose.

2:07 am

sprite

read up and answer my questions then, you meandering lady!

2:08 am

grannyrose

i am much better, no coughing and very little sneezing. don still coughing every now and again, particularly if you mention mother mac. the mother is still in the hospital, and the daughter is doing ALL the running around which that entails.

2:09 am

sprite

I like all the news. Lol @ mentioning Mother Mac making Don worse.

2:10 am

grannyrose

i think he must take an extra deep breath, and that causes a coughing fit.

2:11 am

sprite

*giggles* Thinking of daughter doing the running around should ease him

2:11 am

joso

do you get the same result repeatedly rose?

2:11 am

Glantarell

thinking fo the daughter doing the running round for a change pleases e :)

2:11 am

Glantarell

*me

2:12 am

grannyrose

yes, it happened during a phone call to the hospital to see how the mother was doing.

2:12 am

joso

hehehehehehehe

2:12 am

sprite

very good, Don. Let them know you are not ready for them to send her back to you :)

2:14 am

sprite

*hopeful* Any word from daughter that she realises A. what a truckload of work it is and B. that it is easier to avoid it all by not giving her cane sugar?

2:15 am

joso

omg, got hicups... haven't had hicups in years

2:15 am

sprite

aw poor joso

2:15 am

Glantarell

does the daughgter now get it that the cane sugar caused the problem to get worse?

2:16 am

sprite

take a glas of water, bend over, drink the water from the far rim of the glass

2:16 am

grannyrose

don't make me laugh, sprite. what, her, admit she was wrong? oh, no, mother was already sick when she took over her care...in a pig's eye.

2:16 am

Glantarell

always works for me

2:16 am

sprite

yeah right. Was afraid of that.

2:17 am

sprite

well I hope you will tell her that next time she gives her mother cane sugar, you will drop Mother off straight away at her house for further treatment.

2:18 am

grannyrose

yeah, good thought...must hold onto that one.

2:18 am

sprite

very simple. For stupid people it is imperative you make cause and result very clear.

2:21 am

sprite

*insert innocent eyes*

2:21 am

Glantarell

fw and off to work - happy babbling all

2:21 am

sprite

wtg Glant, good job! Have a lovely day.

sprite

2:23 am

joso

congrats glant

2:24 am

joso

they have eased to little mini hics

2:24 am

sprite

strange phenomenon, the hiccups

2:26 am

joso

you just wanted me to slash water all over myself

2:27 am

sprite

no, I wanted to help, but I will admit the wetting yourself was an incentive ;)

2:27 am

grannyrose

you didn't need any help from sprite to do that, joso....*fading giggles as rose takes off, running as best she can*

2:29 am

joso

run gimpy run, see where that gets you

2:29 am

sprite

*leans back, happy to finally have found a sport she gladly plays spectator to*

2:32 am

joso

I'm stopping the pursuit. It's not fair, not right to stress her leg, but when she if fit again she'll get away

2:32 am

sprite

the revenge, served cold, will be shattering :D

2:34 am

grannyrose

and that's ' gump ' to you, joso...lol

2:34 am

sprite

2:38 am

sprite

2:38 am

joso

good question, did she show up last night?

2:39 am

sprite

I saw here yesterday, when BabbleRabble was critical and ruby flared up.

2:39 am

joso

oh, lucky me. when she is head over heels do I get a baseball bat up aside my head

2:39 am

sprite

no, just kisses, joso, but it will have the same effect.

2:40 am

joso

until DH shows, then the bat

2:41 am

sprite

right now Don will have to wheeze you to death

2:42 am

joso

that sounds interesting, ya miss all the good stuff when you get a good nite's sleep

2:42 am

sprite

am glad you got a good night of sleep, joso, and you didn't miss much. It wasn't much fun ;)

2:43 am

joso

was BR critical of pug?

2:44 am

sprite

of us all, us girls that is, of always bashing the men in general and complaining about ours specifically. Ruby took it very personally, started calling names and then things went ugly.

2:46 am

joso

oh, like men never complain about women.

2:48 am

sprite

especially about how we nag and nag :)
Well, I know it is a sensitive point for BabbleRabble, we have had words about it before. I think it is perfectly ok to speak your mind, for us and for him both. But ruby went through the roof.

2:48 am

puglet

Morning Sprite,Rose and Joso--hugs all

2:48 am

sprite

hiya pugs, was just wondering where you were :) Good to see you!

2:49 am

joso

g'day pug

2:51 am

puglet

I stayed up too late last night---Sprite, sorry I didnt answer your mail but I got into that book and started the next one

2:51 am

sprite

hehehe pug, no need to say sorry. The email will keep until you feel like it. I love it that you are enjoying the books. She is fun, isn't she :)

2:51 am

joso

good book?

2:51 am

sprite

which one are you reading now?

2:52 am

puglet

missed you yesterday Joso, were you sick

2:52 am

sprite

fluff, joso. Real female books

2:52 am

puglet

night pleasure

2:52 am

joso

no, seem to have drifted into a more normal sleep cycle

2:53 am

puglet

thats good Joso

2:53 am

sprite

oohhh that is Kyrian and Amanda! They are fun too. Mind Tabitha, Amanda's sister. She is awesome. Will have her own book later on.

2:54 am

joso

only here now because I had a 4 hour nap

2:54 am

sprite

fireflies

2:54 am

joso

congrats sprite

2:55 am

puglet

I wish they had put her very first book in this set, Fantasy Lovers

2:55 am

sprite

look joso, we can't have you getting into the habit of sleeping well. We would miss you too much.

2:55 am

puglet

w2g Sprite

2:56 am

sprite

yes, fantasy lover is great too. You can read it later though, it doesn't matter too much. Each book stands alone. It is just the background story that becomes clearer with each book that would benefit from the right order.

2:56 am

puglet

I bet Rose has hers too

2:57 am

joso

bbl, going to delve into the grid for a while, you two can chat about heathcliff and friends

2:57 am

sprite

hehehe joso, you got it. *hugs*

2:57 am

puglet

Is she still writing books on these

2:57 am

puglet

later Joso

2:58 am

sprite

fantasy lover is about a guy that is cursed into a book, doomed to be a sex slave to whoever calls him up... the poor guy.

2:58 am

sprite

not sure... let me check

3:00 am

sprite

yes, looks like it. At some point you will meet Nick... I think he is Kyrian's helper now that I think of it. He will become an important person throughout the series and will get his own spin-off as well.

3:00 am

puglet

so fanasty lover isnt a introduction into the other books

3:01 am

puglet

are you up to date on reading her books

3:02 am

sprite

it is about Grace and... not sure... Julius.

3:03 am

puglet

okay, thanks for looking that up for me

3:03 am

sprite

not entirely. Haven't read the Nick spin-offs yet. But I have read the entire DH series a couple of times.

3:03 am

sprite

it is Julian. You will meet them in the other books as well.

3:06 am

puglet

okay, In the store I seen a book by her but I dont know if it was a DH story. It was a hardback and a very thick book. I was in a hurry and didnt check to see what it was

3:06 am

sprite

acheron is wonderful... you will meet him time and again in all the books until finally you will read his own story. He is awesome.

3:07 am

sprite

don't worry, just use the list I sent you and it will guide you through the whole series

3:09 am

sprite

ok, time for me to become active. *hugs* and have a wonderful day.

3:09 am

puglet

There is a list on the first page and it starts with the Fanasty Lover and goes down to the dream hunter

3:09 am

puglet

hugs to you and have a good one too

3:09 am

sprite

did you keep the email I sent you with the list?

3:10 am

puglet

yes

3:12 am

sprite

good, that should hold you for a while. I just noticed there are new DH books as well. Will try and find those :)

3:12 am

puglet

oh good! thanks Sprite

3:13 am

sprite

see you tomorrow, I hope... though I won't play in my morning. *hugs*

3:14 am

puglet

okay Sprite, will be thinking of you

3:14 am

puglet

3:21 am

melonheadjujube

hi, pug & granny.

3:24 am

grannyrose

yes thanx, pugs. although i can't laugh without going into a coughing fit. himself told me he wanted me on crispbread for dinner. the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

3:25 am

puglet

what is crispbread, toast?

3:27 am

puglet

are you going to be able to take care of it there at home then?

3:28 am

puglet

wonder if your SIL will get it now since shes been at the hospital with your MIL

3:31 am

grannyrose

sorry, meandered away. will stay now. trying to decide what to have for din-dins

3:33 am

grannyrose

yeah, once i point it out to her. as i told sprite, SIL's attitude is that the mother was already sick BEFORE she took over her care last saturday. not likely!!!

3:34 am

puglet

that just irks me when someone wont take responibility of their own actions

3:34 am

grannyrose

crispbeard...sort of biscuit which is usually low calorie...

3:35 am

grannyrose

but not what you call biscuits, which is what i call scones...are you confused now?

3:35 am

puglet

well she was the reason for her being sick in the first place and its her doings that you and don are sick now as well

3:36 am

puglet

well it dont sound too tasty(the crispbread)

3:37 am

grannyrose

hey...with me on it, it would be...but as don said, i add too many calories..lol

3:38 am

grannyrose

we have a variety of crispbreads. rye, corn, plus the usual wheat ones.

3:38 am

puglet

now warm garlic bread,mmm--thats tasty

3:38 am

grannyrose

the corn ones are delish. they have chicken-flavoured salt on them.

3:39 am

puglet

that crispbread sounds more like a cracker to me

3:39 am

grannyrose

ooohhhh, stop it pugs, haven't had garlic bread since the last time. you are making my tummy rumble...lol

3:39 am

puglet

is your throat sore too Rose

3:40 am

melonheadjujube

3:43 am

puglet

3:46 am

melonheadjujube

OK, nbt, nbs, all Ë˜7s and Ë˜ halfway. mediocrity refulgent. If everyone has all there 7s, I'll be going back to beddy-bye.

3:46 am

puglet

3:47 am

melonheadjujube

4:40 am

hurshy

fi4/8 is a public company that provides analytics and decision making servicesâ€”including credit scoringâ€”intended to help financial services companies make complex, high-volume decisions.

12:17 pm

hurshy

and thus its name has become a bit of a shorthand, your fi4/8 score.

12:18 pm

hurshy

i'm done and i guess i better go

12:18 pm

hurshy

thanks all

12:19 pm

MollyL

Okay, well I guess I was going by the definition since acronyms are "supposedly" not allowed.

12:29 pm

This fi4/8 is another word for fig and also means worthless

Hello rbud, miss molly and whomever might still be on

4:34 pm

MollyL

Jill, question...was veebie from yesterday a friend of yours?

4:40 pm

Jillyjill

No, just someone that said they were new to babble...I did hear from harpjane at practice last night that someone she knows here was going to start....did that person ever "come back"?

4:41 pm

REG

I usually just lurk and I almost never finish but I just need one more and I need a clue!

4:42 pm

REG

Need clue for no 5/20

4:42 pm

Jillyjill

Nice to meet you REG, just started, but maybe I can help

4:44 pm

MollyL

No, I think veebie was just another casual lurker/poster. Which is why I wondered why you got so interested in that person.

4:44 pm

Jillyjill

no5/20 is not yes+ 3 letter word for instrucions (uses high point tile end)

4:45 pm

Jillyjill

Just trying to be friendly Molly...

4:47 pm

Jillyjill

Wow!! Bested my personal best ... nbt/nbs and halfway!!

4:47 pm

MollyL

Nice. Like I said, you took such a particular interest, I thought it might be someone you knew.

4:49 pm

Jillyjill

Am worn to a frazzle this week. Just slammed with procedures, emergency add-ons...then next week 4/6 of our endscopists are gone...so just glad for work. Feet up and babbling out my stress....

4:59 pm

cgypsy

5:00 pm

Jillyjill

sounds like it could be a very fun watch!!

5:01 pm

Jillyjill

Hello uusue....popped back in to finish. How are you?

6:12 pm

uusue2

oops, maybe I missed Jill? I am good, a bit tired from taking a friend to Chicago early this morning for some medical stuff - good hospitals there but a bit of a nuisance to get to

6:15 pm

Jillyjill

Nope, still on ;)

6:15 pm

uusue2

cool :-)

6:16 pm

Jillyjill

Have never even been to Chicago...

6:17 pm

uusue2

It's quite a wonderful city - but it is a BIG city and has all the usual big city issues (traffic and so on)

6:18 pm

Jillyjill

WE are flying through Chicago when we come east for our oldest's graduation.

6:19 pm

uusue2

yes, until I moved here Chicago was mostly a place to change planes for me :-)

6:19 pm

uusue2

Will you have much of a layover?

6:19 pm

stidgmere

Hello Jilly and uu. Just starting. I've been planning a Sunday dinner for a family birthday and baked the cake layers today for the Baked Melba Alaska. looks fancy and is easy to do.

6:20 pm

uusue2

hi gmere! Sounds good!

6:20 pm

Jillyjill

4 hours on way out, but less than two on way back uusue

6:21 pm

Jillyjill

OOOOO grandmere...sounds yummy!!

6:21 pm

stidgmere

Desserts are so fun to make. Also working on a recipe for pulled pork.

6:21 pm

uusue2

ah, neither is really enough to get out of the airport and do much; it's quite far from downtown

6:21 pm

uusue2

<--- Loves pulled pork! (especially barbecue)

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

Actually a bit nervous with the layover coming back as I am unfamiliar with that airport...

6:22 pm

stidgmere

Great weather here in the northwest today. Changes coming tomorrow but we should be done with most of the outdoor things by dinner today.

6:22 pm

uusue2

if you are on the same airline it shouldn't be too bad, jill

6:22 pm

stidgmere

Just follow the signs, Jilly. At least you speak the language.

6:22 pm

uusue2

and you shouldn't have to go through security just to change planes

6:23 pm

uusue2

what airline are you on?

6:25 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, I have thought of that often, how very hard for those visiting our country. We are flying Delta, but connecting flights are their smaller airlines Skywest and Mesa. I remember what a nightmare it used to be to go through LAX under those circumstances

6:26 pm

Jillyjill

And my son has had trouble getting out of Norfolk with Delta

6:26 pm

uusue2

Ah, I haven't flown Delta much so am not familiar with their terminals - but as long as it's the same terminal you should be fine

6:26 pm

stidgmere

You will welcome the kindness of strangers and you will find how helpful fellow travelers are. Don't worry.

6:27 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks stidg!

6:28 pm

Jillyjill

<-----------------------!!FW!!

6:28 pm

uusue2

yay jill!

6:28 pm

stidgmere

Congrats Jill!!

6:28 pm

uusue2

anyway, the O'Hare website doesn't list either Skywest or Mesa so I assume they are both in the Delta terminal, which is Terminal 2

6:28 pm

Jillyjill

Pretty easy grid today, done in just over an hour

6:29 pm

Jillyjill

Plan to scope it out on the way out...and our son may be familiar as well.

6:29 pm

Jillyjill

and thank you uusue

6:31 pm

uusue2

ok, I am totally making up words that have k's in them

6:32 pm

7:09 pm

crosshair

actually have a good teacher.glad i went back when i did as she is one year from retiring.she makes for a nice relaxing learning atmosphere,so much so that many of the students just work through lunch and eat at the desks

7:11 pm

stidgmere

Well, Bugs. We need to brush off our travel togs to prepare for Crossy's graduation exercises. Shall we hitchike or take the train? It's a long drive from the great northwest.

7:12 pm

Bugsaw

the train would be fun because we can see the country and have all our needs met. Downside of that is we couldn't get off to visit with Babblers along the way It wud be fun tho

7:12 pm

crosshair

well,not till next june, so you have time to prepare

7:13 pm

crosshair

ions

7:13 pm

crosshair

ooops

7:13 pm

crosshair

sorry

7:14 pm

stidgmere

I suppose we could actually stop at stations and rent a car to visit or have Babblers meet us at the station for a visit.

7:14 pm

stidgmere

Have to play games with Murphy bbl.

7:15 pm

Bugsaw

i can hear the messages sent from station to station warning them that they could be invaded by a hoard of happy people at each stop. :)

7:17 pm

crosshair

lol,i know the perfect b b we can invade: we can rent the entire thing.it is on lake nippissing in a little shore town called callandar , Ontario we can have a big crossy type breffast and go for a sightseeing tour of the lake and the islands;)

7:18 pm

crosshair

7:26 pm

crosshair

i would LOVE to see BC.i have never been

7:27 pm

crosshair

7:28 pm

Bugsaw

I checked it out. truely beautiful...... ruru is getting his passport in order to come north so maybe we can attract more easterners to come too. Uusue drove out from Illinois and Mr and Mrs Hego came from NJ!

7:30 pm

rururocks

just had lunch with mr and mrs hego

7:30 pm

Bugsaw

Hi ruru. Aren't they great?

7:30 pm

crosshair

mm,lots of babblets in this grid i see;((

7:31 pm

rururocks

yes.. I really enjoyed meeting them. Hego is a kick

7:31 pm

crosshair

got your passport yet ruru? common up.i shall have a crossy breakfast waiting

7:33 pm

rururocks

I will get one going in October... I have a lot on my plate until then

7:53 pm

crosshair

mmm.the verdict is still out on if i care for the new i-phone os7 or not.best things i have found so far is in camera they have made going from stills to video to panorama a lot easier and if you flick from the bottom of the screen upwards you can get a very handy control panel interfaces.no you do not have to go out of what you are doing to chhange your music or turn wi-fi/data on or off.

7:54 pm

crosshair

i do not like the pastel colours;((

7:54 pm

phandmd

good evening.

7:54 pm

MimiCat

OMG, crossy, BC is totally breathtaking. Wish I was there now. Still not here. Not crazy about pastels, either. We are such kindred spirits. Am looking forward to visiting ruru one day as well.

7:56 pm

MimiCat

So, phandmd, does your (PB) icon imply you're an overachiever?

7:56 pm

stidmama

let's all go to bugs' and then caravan to crossy's retreat. We can finish up in New England and catch the fall colors in the mountains.

7:56 pm

MimiCat

Sounds like HEAVEN, stid!

7:57 pm

o-o

Did you hear about the marketplace where everything cost twelve and a half cents?
It was a bit bazaar.

7:57 pm

phandmd

are you talking about my GSD, Mimi?

7:57 pm

stidmama

rofl o-o

7:58 pm

MimiCat

Well, are you both a Ph.D. and an M.D.

7:58 pm

stidmama

oh! rofl... never made that connection, mimicat!

7:59 pm

MimiCat

Hey, stid, I have my moments...fleeting though they may be.

7:59 pm

phandmd

No, that is not what that means. P is my husbands first initial, Hand is our last name, and MD stands for my state of residence.

7:59 pm

MimiCat

Wow---totally got that wrong! What else is new?!

8:00 pm

stidmama

I like mimicat's idea of it, though, phand! It suits you...

8:00 pm

stidmama

when do you start your new job, anyway?

8:00 pm

crosshair

howdy to everyone who popped in whilst i was off scrounging for munchies:))

8:00 pm

phandmd

many people think that at first, so not the first time I have had that question. But yes, I am an over acheiver.

8:00 pm

stidmama

bacon? *hopeful look*

8:00 pm

phandmd

besides, I just graduated from Nursing School, wouldn't have needed to do that if I were an MD...

8:00 pm

crosshair

mmm,bacon

8:00 pm

MimiCat

Hey, we are all geniuses in our own ways.

8:01 pm

crosshair

well,no,my munchie is not bacon..exactly.it is smoky bacon and sour cream tater chips

8:01 pm

MimiCat

I am counting the days until I can visit Georgian Bay, crossy.

8:02 pm

phandmd

may I have a clue for the CO 8? I know the first part, but the 2nd part eludes me.

8:02 pm

stidmama

BACON! :-)

8:02 pm

crosshair

i will keep it ready for you, mimi:)

8:02 pm

MimiCat

Dear ((crossy))

8:38 pm

crosshair

:)

8:38 pm

joso

:)

8:40 pm

joso

it is a good sketch, the hint of a self satisfied smirk is an intriguing touch. makes you wonder what happened just before the picture was drawn.

8:43 pm

crosshair

why he had a nice bacon sammich of course

8:45 pm

crosshair

think i shall test a new ic4..

8:45 pm

o-o

Many homeowners in the city of Richmond, California, owe more for their houses than the properties are currently worth. City officials want to use the power of eminent domain to buy those home loans from banks at current, and lower, market prices.
http://tinyurl.com/kokbtgx

Interesti\nng concept with a great deal of complexity.

8:45 pm

crosshair

ok.refresh and tell me what you think.i kind of like it

8:46 pm

crosshair

big problem when a residential area devaluates to that extent

8:46 pm

Granny J

can i ask how to work out the scoring for the words please? this is only the second time i've played and i'm struggling

8:47 pm

crosshair

that is happening in lareas of las vegas as well.the home my brother bought there 3 years ago for 200,000 was worth 400,000 just 5 years before

8:47 pm

o-o

Granny J, click on "help" above

8:47 pm

wvteach

new ic4 doesn't show up as well as the old one because it is darker

8:48 pm

crosshair

yes,is always best to read through help section first when just starting

8:48 pm

Granny J

thank you very much

8:49 pm

o-o

yw ... most here are willing to answer questions

8:49 pm

wvteach

have been playing a while and still don't really understand - but it is based on the point values of each tile and the length of the word

8:49 pm

crosshair

when you are done browsing the help section,we will be here to help as we can

8:50 pm

o-o

What I understand is that if you find a word, you can stop looking for it if you want to.

8:50 pm

Granny J

but sometimes one word leads to another and another, so many to be missed if one stops looking x

8:51 pm

o-o

The more you play, the better you get ... like most endeavors

8:51 pm

Granny J

true

8:51 pm

wvteach

definitely - and you learn to always look for endings to add to words, rhyming words

8:52 pm

wvteach

welcome to the group granny - this is a very supportive and chatty group

8:54 pm

Granny J

thank you, i think i've found a few words i didn't even know existed lol

8:54 pm

crosshair

yes,wecome granny. now i must warn you that this may become addictive.though crossy has never had that problem.i have quit many times;))

8:54 pm

joso

words that are within other words are counted separately, so enter them both. eg tract and retract and retraction should all be entered

8:54 pm

Granny J

now that would have been handy if you had used words actually in the game lol

8:55 pm

crosshair

then we would of had to send joso to the penalty box

8:55 pm

stidgmere

All the words I could find today are 112. I could go on resources or I could ask for clues. If I used words in the chat that are on the grid today, I would be in the penalty box as crossy said. Pleasant evenings to all my dear Babbler friends, including Granny J.

8:56 pm

Granny J

penalty box? like ice hockey?

8:56 pm

o-o

Also, take a look at Lickety's Babble Clues at the bottom of the page in the Friends of Babble section

8:56 pm

crosshair

almost.except we keep it stuffed with,tea,chocolate,gin and tonic,vodka and BLT,s

8:56 pm

Granny J

i have 19 words left, i think that's not too bad

8:57 pm

o-o

penalty box is a creation of players for inadvertent miscues like posting a word in the chog

8:57 pm

crosshair

not bad at all for just starting out, granny

8:57 pm

joso

ah, a house rule, you are allowed to hint and clue words for other players, but not just list them. no enforcement of the rule except for other players generally complaining.

8:57 pm

wvteach

totally fictional place - players tease each other about using grid words in their chat - sometimes (like in the last few days) my name was in the grid and someone said hello teach and we said to go to the PB - it is all in fun

8:58 pm

o-o

Well done, Granny J

8:58 pm

wvteach

congrats granny - many seasoned players, i am sure, did not get that far today

8:59 pm

crosshair

once i a while,if your name is in the grid you are exempt from the PB for the day:)

8:59 pm

joso

as you don't get the aids registered players get that is excelent granny

9:00 pm

crosshair

it is all a good bit of fun at any rate;)

9:00 pm

Granny J

Lickety's Babble Clues will take some reading i think lol. no wine in the penalty box though, would i have to bring my own? and does Crosshair (like a sight in a gun?) have a bacon fetish?

9:00 pm

crosshair

well,i have been know to enjoy a rasher or two on occasion

9:01 pm

o-o

crosshair takes bacon baths and has a bacon pillow.

9:02 pm

Granny J

lol

9:02 pm

crosshair

well,look at it this way,granny, the last time i saw my doctor he said to me" do you know that you shorten your life by six minutes for every slice of bacon that you eat?" i said 'well, if that is the case i should of died in 1845" :)

9:04 pm

Granny J

not so much a fetish as a lifestyle then lol

9:04 pm

crosshair

more of a religion i should think

9:05 pm

crosshair

:)

9:06 pm

crosshair

i figure all those sulfites and preservatives should keep my old corpse in fine shape for hundreds of years after they put me in the ground. or if i am cremated,i will burn for many years,they can use me as a energy source

9:07 pm

Granny J

you should contact your government, they could stop building wind turbines and just wait at your door lol

9:10 pm

welki

'evening, folks

9:10 pm

Granny J

i think i've worked out how to use Lickety's Clues thing, thank you so much everybody x

9:13 pm

9:13 pm

LeslieAnn

9:14 pm

Granny J

i think i like this group and i do like the game

9:15 pm

Old is dynamic ... as long as we breath old gets older.

9:15 pm

Minveryork

Thanks LeslieAnn, but I'm certainly older than you are. You are the so young one!Lucky you! Oh to be in my 30s again!

9:16 pm

crosshair

9:16 pm

Granny J

How Evil Should a Video Game Allow You to Be?

A 2011 Supreme Court ruling recognized that video games, like other forms of art and entertainment, are protected by the First Amendment as a form of speech. â€œFor better or worse,â€ Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in the decision, â€œour society has long regarded many depictions of killing and maiming as suitable features of popular entertainment.â€

9:26 pm

Granny J

i'm not really a babbler tho, sorry

You surely are, Granny J

congrats minver!

9:28 pm

Granny J

it is easy to blame a form of media for the horrors people perpetrate, far easier to blame media than to blame the failures of family and society, it takes a village to raise a child to be a whole person, but these days people are so concerned with greed that they forget that

9:29 pm

Granny J

i have one left and it's so hard to find

9:30 pm

Granny J

oh i did it

.6, pini -- BUT (this is the great news!) with all the extra college credits I did, AND the two years' subbing, I get official credit for lots of education (only about 20 credits left until I max out) and an extra bump for experience! working .6 time will bring in almost double what I made working 7/8 time (on average) last year!
