1:50 am

jillibus

hehe re FW -- no idea re bangers.

1:52 am

grannyrose

did you not have penny bangers when you were little? their other name was tom thumbs, because they were very small, and about 12 of them came, all looped together by their fuse.

1:56 am

jillibus

I ws in Shanghai when I was little.

1:56 am

jillibus

We had European food but I don't remember that term.

1:58 am

grannyrose

they were firecrackers, jilli. they cost a penny to buy, he5 the nickname, penny bangers.

1:59 am

jillibus

Oh -- I thought you were talking about sausages -- bangers and mash,lol!

1:59 am

grannyrose

the nastiest of the local boys would tie them to a cats tail, then light the fuse. the poor cat would take off like streaked lightning. i never saw the humour in it, myself.

1:59 am

puglet

Rose, could you please give me the stats for the f in the last col. please

2:00 am

jillibus

Well, I don't remember buying firecrackers either. The Chinese did a lot of that.

2:00 am

grannyrose

fe5/18, what you put up tokeep stock in, and trepassers out of your property

2:00 am

puglet

ty

2:01 am

jillibus

I so want an E to be next to an R.

2:01 am

grannyrose

pugs, how is everyone at your house today?

2:01 am

puglet

duh, how did I miss that

2:01 am

grannyrose

lol, jilli. i know, i tried so many ...er.... words

2:02 am

jillibus

pug, that fe5 does rather sprawl all over the landscape.

2:02 am

puglet

I wasent going to say anything, but since you asked I cant lie--I got some kind of bug and been running back and forth to the bathroom

2:03 am

grannyrose

oh, pugs, that is not good. any nausea with it?

2:03 am

puglet

yep--sick

2:04 am

grannyrose

i know it sounds silly, but please, between bouts of either try to sip your way through at least half a glass of water.

2:05 am

puglet

okay Rose

2:05 am

grannyrose

and if you can, dry toast also.. or dry crackers.

2:06 am

puglet

oh and by the way, I got my forms to the clinic yesterday and I got them filled out and Iam taking them in later today

2:06 am

puglet

I will try

2:06 am

grannyrose

some of the water will be absorbed, so you won't dehydrate, it also gives you something to bring up.

2:07 am

grannyrose

and from memory, grated apple, believe it or not, helps with both nausea and diarrhoea

2:08 am

puglet

I dont think I got anything left to bring up or out--lol

2:08 am

grannyrose

and good for you with those forms. i do so hope it well help you to get the assistance you need.

2:09 am

puglet

thanks, I will let you know as soon as I know

2:11 am

grannyrose

and pugs?? even if you haven't just been to the toilet, please wash your hands thoroughly before preparing any food for your sister.

2:12 am

puglet

Iam a hand wash freak Rose---lol

2:12 am

grannyrose

yay you, pugs. good on you!!

2:13 am

puglet

you learn that in nursing care

2:15 am

puglet

Rose, I need what my dad died of and I dont know how to spell the word for these forms. I was going to tell them there but if you could give it to me, it would really help. I will spell it as it sounds to me anarism (where something burst on the inside and you drown in your own blood)

2:17 am

grannyrose

aneurysm

2:18 am

puglet

thank you very much

2:18 am

grannyrose

2:32 am

puglet

Hi Nilay, nice to meet you and welcome

2:32 am

sprite

hello Nilay, welcome to the game. There is a good help section (see link at the top of the page) And under Friends of Babble, check out AngelSong's Babble Page (bottom of page).

2:32 am

Nilay

hello... same here

2:32 am

sprite

2:33 am

2:36 am

puglet

2:37 am

sprite

in this grid? 54 words.

2:37 am

grannyrose

nilay, dr god tells us how many words, lickety puts out a list to help us find them.

2:37 am

sprite

yes, I think so, pug. Can move easier this morning, and things usually get better a couple of hours after rising, so they are bound to be even better later today.

2:38 am

grannyrose

yay you, sprite. so happy for you.

2:38 am

Nilay

how many words?

2:38 am

puglet

thats good Sprite

2:38 am

grannyrose

there are 54 words in this grid, nilay

2:39 am

sprite

Nilay, if you just started this game, you will have a trial period in which you can use the pro version of the game. It tells you how many words, and shows you how many for a certain length etc. After a few weeks those aids will be blocked though.

2:39 am

grannyrose

under the yellow squares qith the letters, can you see also little white squares with numbers in them?

2:40 am

puglet

I had a weird thing to happen this mornng--our hallway had a strong black pepper smell---sister smelled it too, so it wasent just me-lol and then it just left

2:48 am

2:50 am

puglet

2:50 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

2:50 am

sprite

we have this odd thing too here... a smoke detector that we don't use, it is without any batteries, and sometimes it just beeps anyway.

2:51 am

sprite

hi Liz :)

2:51 am

puglet

Hi Liz--I was just wondering where you were this morning

2:51 am

grannyrose

hey liz

2:51 am

Lizlin

Fridays are always busy for me :)

2:51 am

sprite

ah, real life and all its demands

2:51 am

Lizlin

Hey Rose - making good progress, I read :)

2:51 am

puglet

thats odd Sprite

2:51 am

grannyrose

yup, liz ;-)

2:51 am

Lizlin

What? Real life get in the way of babble?

2:52 am

Lizlin

Why isn't hence a word, as in henchman? Duh!

2:52 am

sprite

Ikr? Very weird. But if that is all 'they' do, pug, we are fine ;)

2:53 am

sprite

Rose is our superrose... she gets into giant-sized battles and still comes out winning.

2:53 am

puglet

I had a couple of weird things happen to me in the nursing home

2:53 am

Lizlin

auto correct hits again!!!!

2:53 am

sprite

tried that too, Liz. Well, hench, that is. The word you typed is valid, lol.

2:53 am

grannyrose

lolol...yeah...right

2:53 am

Lizlin

Am I missing something here? Battle?

2:54 am

Lizlin

Ooops! Sorry!

2:54 am

sprite

battle with operations, deaths, evil Fangs, pain and much more

2:54 am

Lizlin

Ah - not a new battle. Thank goodness.

2:55 am

puglet

and now over their money

2:55 am

Lizlin

But that will sort itself out, I hope.

2:55 am

sprite

oh, didn't I tell you? Rose has used up all battles allotted to her. She can't have new ones until 2019.

2:56 am

Lizlin

I thought 2020 - such a nice number.

2:56 am

sprite

true. Make it 2020 then.

2:56 am

sprite

can you imagine how many people will want to get married on feb 2, that year?

2:57 am

Lizlin

Going to convert the books into iBooks tomorrow, Sprite.

2:57 am

grannyrose

aww you girls...you make me laugh...and what will you talk about if the days of rose's days of our drearies stops?

2:57 am

Lizlin

Talk about your wonderful trips around the world, of course.

2:57 am

sprite

oh wonderful, Liz!

2:57 am

Lizlin

More like on Feb 20

2:57 am

puglet

gee I dont know---your adventures

2:57 am

Lizlin

Thanks again - very excited about them.

2:58 am

Lizlin

Finished Wren and Maggie this morning.

2:58 am

sprite

you think? I think 02-02-2020 is nicer than 02-20-2020. But I think both days will be popular.

2:58 am

grannyrose

*sigh* i so love you all. you have kept me sane in an insane world. thank-you.

2:58 am

sprite

I love Wren and Maggie. Such a lovely story and such good people.

2:59 am

grannyrose

and dinner is ready. will be back soonish.

2:59 am

sprite

your tutu, your sex life, your dinners and your loving husband, rose, for starters

2:59 am

puglet

okay Rose, enjoy

2:59 am

Lizlin

Perhaps - I like them both - but then I date the UK way - 20-02-20

2:59 am

Lizlin

Bon appetite Rose.

3:00 am

sprite

I think you will love Lackey, Liz. She has a great style of writing, and her stories are heartwarming and imaginative.

3:00 am

sprite

ah, that looks very nice, Liz, true

3:00 am

Lizlin

Interesting to see the other SF authors that she's co-written with.

3:01 am

sprite

yes, she is amazing that way, works with many others and is so generous. You can even write a story set in 'her' world of Valdemar and she might publish it in an anthology if she likes it.

3:01 am

Lizlin

Why isn't titch a word? I thought it was a real word meaning small.

3:02 am

sprite

also books that you will like, pug, I think. We will find a way to get them for you.

3:03 am

puglet

okay, I will take your word for it

3:03 am

sprite

never heard it before, Liz, but I like it.

3:04 am

Lizlin

Used to call people titch if they were small.

3:04 am

Lizlin

When I was at school - not now!

3:05 am

sprite

searched for it on google and you are right, it is a word for small people or a tiny amount. Stupid enable.

3:05 am

Lizlin

But we know enable accepts some words and not others - I don't mind that, except when I'm finding a grid challenging!!

3:05 am

sprite

it is british slang. But that shouldn't keep enable from listing it, right?

3:06 am

sprite

oh I mind. I love to rage at enable, lol

3:06 am

Lizlin

Well considering all the other languages included ...

3:06 am

Lizlin

Yeah but it ends up raging at other babblers online at the time!

3:06 am

sprite

exactly, and all those derogative words, and other slang.

3:07 am

sprite

some babblers could do with a bit of raging, lol. Not many, mind. But some.

3:07 am

Lizlin

Forgot about the derogative words - hmmm! The one that gets me is coon - but what gets me more is that here it's a brand of cheese!

3:09 am

sprite

I hate having to type in spic. Btw, there is a dialect word in today's grid. The cr7, such odd spelling.

3:09 am

Lizlin

It is weird, isn't it?

3:09 am

Lizlin

And I agree about spic.

3:09 am

sprite

sure is!

3:15 am

sprite

did we lose our pug?

3:15 am

Lizlin

Perhaps she's making coffee.

3:15 am

sprite

I hope she brings me a cuppa th4 :)

3:16 am

Lizlin

Just finished one here!

3:17 am

puglet

sorry--cant handle coffee this morning---cant keep nothing down

3:17 am

sprite

yummy... might make myself one after this gird

3:17 am

sprite

grid*

3:17 am

Lizlin

And how is tu 4 not a proper noun even when it's used as a derogatory term.

3:17 am

Lizlin

Oh Pugs - sorry you're not feeling well.

3:18 am

sprite

very true, Liz

3:18 am

puglet

just a bug Liz

3:19 am

Lizlin

Look after yourself and feel better very soon.

3:19 am

sprite

poor pug :( Wish I could do something for you. I hope you are making sure you don't dehydrate... tiny sips of water in between bouts.

3:19 am

Lizlin

11 left and I seem to have hit a very hard brick wall.

3:19 am

Frances

Hi frances

3:20 am

Lizlin

Most of my missing ones are t's too - obviously nasty today.

3:20 am

sprite

np Frances, nice to see you in chat.

3:20 am

o-o

help spells it out ... all the words that are listed as exceptions are not exceptions if in the dictionary. Ranting is a waste of time and energy.

3:20 am

Lizlin

Hi Frances

3:21 am

Frances

Thank you. Having a quick babble dabble.

3:21 am

puglet

Hi OO

3:21 am

sprite

pug, try tiny tiny sips, or even have icecubes melt in your mouth. Everything you can take it will help. Even if it doesn't stay down, some will be absorbed.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Hi o-o. It's partly because you said something similar once before that I don't rant about the words as much as I did! See, I'm learning!

3:22 am

sprite

hello o-o! True, but so very satisfying, lol. I love to feel smarter than a dictionary.

3:22 am

sprite

you can take in*, not it

3:22 am

Lizlin

Good advice sprite - ice cubes should be OK.

3:23 am

puglet

brb--sorry guys

2:42 pm

Uneaixoise

2:42 pm

penquis

2:42 pm

Atalante

Ata has laryngitis so can't be out on the high seas or underwater :(

2:43 pm

Uneaixoise

cr7 sounds like what a cowboy would call an animal in a western . . .

2:43 pm

mab

oh dear :(

2:43 pm

Uneaixoise

aawww, take care of Ata . . .

2:44 pm

2:52 pm

Atalante

*giggle* refresh for a better pic!!

2:53 pm

Atalante

he is a darling, very very clever and loves everyone and everything. He's a bit bitey and a bit bouncy - but he's a puppy ...

2:54 pm

Gail

Beautiful puppy with a sweet smiley face!

2:54 pm

lynxxx

2:55 pm

2:56 pm

Uneaixoise

clue for te5/14 between the two 7's? last word . . .

2:57 pm

Atalante

well, I guess he's not a puppy now! He's still new in my mind compared to Spangle

2:57 pm

Atalante

it's a fish, Une :D

2:57 pm

lynxxx

Getting old - 8 1/2 now - arthritis flares up now and again so he is even slower if that is possible. Latest issue is a sprung toe. Everytime he has a good run with whippets something happens

2:58 pm

Uneaixoise

I knew they were looking for a pup quite a while back . . .

2:58 pm

Uneaixoise

ok, i'm tired . . . please share the fish . . .

2:59 pm

Atalante

he's almost exactly the same age as Silverclaw, then. I didn't realise that. Poor Stew, age catches up with us all. So glad you still have his love and company though

2:59 pm

Atalante

take the word below. take off the last 2 letters. swap the third letter.

2:59 pm

Atalante

5:26 pm

Soodle

Oh Jaxx, the smug Flatley face..... Insufferable.

5:27 pm

MollyL

Oh come on. Flatley thinks all the girls are checking out his dance belt, not his face.

5:32 pm

Soodle

Aaarrggh. Some mental images CANNOT be unseen. Stoppit Molly.

10:09 pm

Minveryork

I don't really drink, but I do not want to drive 2.25 hours late at night since I am not very familiar w/New Jersey.

10:10 pm

Minveryork

It is about 4.5 hours driving round trip (2.25 each way).

10:11 pm

welki

Still a good idea if you're not comfortable driving late in the evening. Is your sister in law coming, too?

10:11 pm

Minveryork

No, I did not even tell her about because I knew that she would not even come. She has a young child at her house

10:13 pm

welki

It'll be nice for you to have a night all to yourself, should be fun :)

10:15 pm

Minveryork

Oh I have been soooooo looking forward to this all week!

10:17 pm

welki

oy vey - hope it's not too hard to live up to your expectations

10:20 pm

welki

when are you expecting to get here? i think dorens and je will be here around 7, the others between 6 and 7

10:23 pm

Minveryork

I hope to get there by 6. Want to get there before dark.

10:23 pm

Minveryork

When and where is everybody meeting each other welki?

10:24 pm

welki

between 6 and 7 in the pub

10:25 pm

welki

the restaurant will be closed tomorrow night, so it's to the pub we go

10:26 pm

Minveryork

I see that you got there on Thursday. How long are you in New Jersey for? Do U have family that you're visiting?

10:27 pm

welki

i'll try to get there in time to get a big enough table set up; there's a convention next door, so it might be busy (in jersey for a little more than a week visiting family)

10:28 pm

welki

in fact, maybe i'll take a walk there now and see if i can reserve a table - brb

10:33 pm

welki

well that was quick - called them. first come, first served, but i think it'll be fine - there are lots of tables there

10:34 pm

welki

anyway, off for the evening - g'night and see you tomorrow

10:35 pm

Minveryork
