Hello, Sprite :-)
2:08 am
sprite
hey zooz :) How are you? And your family?
2:09 am
zoozzoom
We are all well thanks for asking.How are you and your family doing?
2:09 am
sprite
we are all fine, thanks zooz. Celebrated a fun Sinterklaas :)
2:11 am
zoozzoom
Sounds wonderful, Sprite, Did you have a feast?
2:11 am
sprite
just the traditional pea soup, rye bread and bacon.
2:12 am
zoozzoom
Oh I love peas soup & bacon. It is very heart warming and delish!
2:12 am
sprite
so true :D We enjoyed it. It was a very nice family evening.
2:13 am
zoozzoom
Was there any floats or parade to watch?
2:14 am
sprite
the arrival of Sinterklaas, but that was earlier. We just ate together, watched a movie, enjoyed some innocent fun over gifts and poems.
2:15 am
zoozzoom
Well I am glad you all had a wonderful time together.That is what it is all about :-)
2:16 am
sprite
exactly. How are you doing with the grid?
2:16 am
zoozzoom
Well just started but slowing with 27 more to find.
2:17 am
sprite
about the same, 21 left and slowing down
2:21 am
zoozzoom
Strange how you do not find any for a couple of minutes.then you will see about four words straight off..lol
2:23 am
sprite
yeah, one of the wonders of babble. I always find it strangely reassuring. Kind of "no matter how stuck you are, at some point you will find a way out"
2:23 am
sprite
phantom: injury
2:24 am
zoozzoom
Yes i had noticed that one earlier.Very annoying..lol
2:24 am
zoozzoom
Still at the time it did make me see another IN word though.
2:25 am
sprite
as usual, I struggle with the i words, grin.
2:25 am
zoozzoom
AE words are my worst like K for you..lol
2:26 am
sprite
ouch, that is really bad, grin
2:26 am
sprite
I don't spot vowel words easily, mostly. But when I get stuck, I remind myself it could be worse, they could be K words. And then it doesn't seem so hard.
2:27 am
zoozzoom
I should try that philosophy..lol
2:28 am
sprite
and for some reason, 'asea' and 'ocean' and 'orient' are almost invisible to me.
2:28 am
zoozzoom
I am okay with those ones :-)
2:29 am
zoozzoom
aery, aeries those type I struggle with.
2:29 am
sprite
good! Guess I should enter them in every grid, just in case. I do that with etna and anoa.
2:30 am
zoozzoom
Wow i do too but with etna, anti & ante..lol
2:31 am
sprite
hahaha :D We are so pro!
2:31 am
zoozzoom
I hate it when i find a word like apnea then miss apnoea..ARR lol
2:31 am
sprite
oh, story of my babble life. I often end up with singulars of which I already found the plural, and such. Embarrassing.
2:32 am
zoozzoom
Teehee! Babble life ..lol
2:34 am
zoozzoom
I am not often in my own little bubble I am always in my own little babble :-)
2:34 am
sprite
hehehe true
2:36 am
zoozzoom
Well I am now done.Short but sweet!
2:37 am

Morning! I wonder if you guys can help - a friend of mine who Babbles but doesn't chat asked me what the biggest grid I can remember is. I don't keep track, but guessed 300 and something - does anyone remember any bigger, and does anyone keep track of grid sizes?
4:21 am

4:22 am

Buona mattina. I am almost done. 17 more.
9:06 am

Hiya Scrabs. Any snow?
9:06 am
Scrabbler
Then I am going shopping for my mother before I visit with her.
9:06 am
hego
You're a good daughter.
9:07 am
Scrabbler
Snowstorm will start this evening and might bring 2-3 ft in 48 hrs.
9:07 am
Scrabbler
I try, Hego. She tests my patience. I remind myself to honor her.
9:07 am
hego
You seem to be doing a great job.
9:08 am
Scrabbler
2-3 ft is just a normal snowstorm for us out here in "ski country." The ski resort across the valley is eager to open.
9:08 am
hego
Well, enjoy!
9:09 am
Scrabbler
When is your next trip to Italia?
9:11 am
hego
It is a Mediterranean cruise.
9:11 am
Scrabbler
Have you ever visited Sicilia?
9:11 am
hego
We will go to Capri, Sicily, Bari and Venice.
9:11 am
Scrabbler
Aaaaah, wonderful!
9:12 am
hego
This will be the first time to Sicily.
9:12 am
hego
Also a few stops on the Balkan peninsula.
9:12 am
Scrabbler
My mother's father grew up in Gualtieri Sicamina, Sicilia. He left 102 years ago!
9:13 am
hego
Mine left in the 1870's.
9:14 am
Scrabbler
Sicily? Where?
9:14 am
hego
No, not Sicily.
9:14 am
hego
They lived in central Italy.
9:15 am
hego
Campobasso and Potenza
9:15 am
Scrabbler
My grandmother grew up in the mountains northeast of Napoli.
9:15 am
hego
I visited there once and it was lovely, like Pennsylvania.
9:16 am
hego
Avellino maybe?
9:17 am
hego
My grandmother's family came from Sorrento, one of my favorite places. But she was born here.
9:17 am
Scrabbler
Campobasso, I see, is a bit further northeast of Piedemonte D'Alife (now called Matese) where my GM lived.
9:18 am
hego
It's all green mountains and farmland there.
9:18 am
Scrabbler
And I found POtenza on the map too.
9:19 am
Scrabbler
Avigliano is just north of Potenza.
9:20 am
Scrabbler
My uncle was stationed in Bari during WWII. He was navigator on planes. Because he spoke Italian he was stationed there.
9:20 am
hego
No, I was asking about Avellino which outside of Napoli, I thought maybe your grandma came from there.
9:21 am
Scrabbler
My mother said he returned speaking a very cultured Italian, must as we would say British English sounds more cutured than our English.
9:21 am
hego
That must have been interesting for him.
9:22 am
hego
Yes, in those days many people didn't really learn proper Italian, but just spoke their local dialect.
9:22 am
Scrabbler
My GM grew up in Piedemonte D'Alife which is now called Piedemonte Matese.
9:22 am
hego
Have you ever been, Scrabs?
9:23 am
Scrabbler
My GF spoke Sicilian which I have read about--very different dialect--lots of U's.
9:23 am
hego
It's a whole other lingo. lol
9:23 am
Scrabbler
No, but #1 on my bucket list. Sadly I must wait til my mother is gone to make a trip to Italy. My cousins and sisters--5 of us!
9:24 am
hego
That would be a great experience.
9:24 am
hego
I have gone with various friends and family, it's fun.
9:25 am
Scrabbler
Sure would! One of my male cousins lived in Zurich for 3 yrs, in the 80's, and found our relatives in Sicilia, because 3 of my GF's siblings did not come to the US.
9:26 am
hego
Who will bunny sit if you travel?
9:26 am
Scrabbler
4 left, so I amy as well finish up now.
9:27 am
Scrabbler
A neighbor--Loraine is from London and came here many years ago when she married a man from Texas. Talking to them is funny--Texan dialect + British. She is a lovely person.
9:27 am
hego
So you're all set.
9:28 am
Scrabbler
I need $ for the trip too.
9:28 am
hego
yes, there's always that.
9:30 am
Scrabbler
Finito! Want any clues?
9:30 am

Newbie. :)

ah....welcome then!
3:44 pm
DragonsDown
Thanks fuzzybunny & penquis. I used to love playing Boggle and my aunt recommended this site. Can't believe how rusty I am!
3:44 pm
penquis
watch out....it's addictive....
3:45 pm
DragonsDown
I can see that!
3:45 pm
fuzzybunny
Dragon, it will come back quickly. The best part is that you have more than three minutes to find all the words.
3:45 pm
DragonsDown
That's really nice. I try to work on it here and there when I get a short break from work.
3:46 pm
fuzzybunny
Don't be afraid to ask questions, we have all been there. There are a lot of tools to help you.
3:46 pm
DragonsDown
I bought the Pro membership and have been checking out the list from Lickety. Super tools!
3:47 pm
fuzzybunny
If you use a non-Mac computer there is Lickety Pro, which along with Morewords.com is a lifesaver.
3:48 pm
penquis
never heard of lickety pro....i do have babble expert...
3:50 pm
fuzzybunny
If you check out the profile for MrPresident, who has around 2,227,000 points under the heading of Village Elders, you will find a link to download Lickety Pro.
3:51 pm
fuzzybunny
I forgot to tell you, lickety pro is free.
3:51 pm
penquis
how is it different from Babble Expert?
3:52 pm
fuzzybunny
I am sorry, I always thought that it was lickety pro, you are right Penqui, it is Babble Expert.
3:54 pm
penquis
ah...ok...btw....Mr. President's page is not accessible via a click....at least from the village elders list...
3:54 pm
fuzzybunny
You are right there too, I have her in "my friends" list. Sorry Dragon for steering you wrong.
3:55 pm
penquis
there are other people here who have posted links to expert, but I forget who...
3:56 pm
DragonsDown
Okay, so is there something other than the link at the bottom of the page for Lickety's Babble Clues that I should be checking out for Lickety?
3:56 pm
fuzzybunny
Penquis, I will let you answer this one.

ra7, like baby's toys except with d's instead of t's
6:05 pm
uusue2
replace the r with a w and you have the wa7 (walks like a duck)
6:06 pm
uusue2
and that's fireworks for me!
6:08 pm
MollyL
Great clues for mkg, who alas, is no longer in chat.
6:15 pm

oh well :-) Maybe she'll return and read back, or maybe someone else will find them useful.

I found the ra7 very useful....thank you!

I didn't realize. I apologize.

Not to worry Dragon, we all do it at one time or another.
7:06 pm
DragonsDown
Got them all! *woot*
7:06 pm
fuzzybunny
Congratulations Dragon!
7:07 pm
DragonsDown
Thanks! Was there supposed to be fireworks or something?
7:09 pm
fuzzybunny
Yes, in the stat box it usually rains down fireworks when you finish.
7:10 pm
fuzzybunny
I am referring to the Tile Stats box. Did yours go black and show fireworks?
7:11 pm
DragonsDown
Ah well, no love there. But that's okay. I'm feeling pretty self-satisfied at the moment. :)
7:11 pm
fuzzybunny
I still remember the first grid I finished, it does feel good, the next few will too.
7:12 pm
MollyL
If you are a registered member (which you are because you have a profile) you should get fireworks when you finish the grid.
7:12 pm
fuzzybunny
Where are you from Dragon?
7:12 pm
DragonsDown
I'll try not to strain a muscle patting myself on the back. ;)
7:12 pm
DragonsDown
I'm currently in Washington state.
7:12 pm
DragonsDown
I'm using Babble Expert as opposed to the website, so maybe that's why I didn't get the fireworks.
7:13 pm
fuzzybunny
If I could not live in New Eng. I would live in Washington, beautiful state.
7:14 pm
fuzzybunny
Yes Dragon, that is why you did not get fireworks.
7:15 pm
DragonsDown
I lived here years ago and just recently moved back. It really is fabulous. I lived in NY (NYC area) for almost 10 years and enjoyed it for its diversity and great food, but admit to missing the more easy-going friendly nature of people in the PNW.
7:16 pm
fuzzybunny
You can't beat the food in NYC, and I have found that the atmosphere in the city has changed drastically since 9/11.
7:17 pm
fuzzybunny
I like to think of the people in Maine as being b
7:17 pm
DragonsDown
It seemed to for a while. I was there on 9/11. ::shudder:: I'm not knocking NY. There are a lot of good things about it and some things I really miss. It just wasn't quite the right spot for me.
7:17 pm
DragonsDown
I grew up in Alaska and I feel like WA/OR are sort of like home....only with better weather. :)
7:18 pm
fuzzybunny
I can understand that. I don't think I could live in the urban area for 10 years! I am too used to living 75 miles from the nearest town.
7:19 pm
DragonsDown
I like both city and rural living. Once I win the lotto I'll have an apartment downtown and a homestead in the woods. It's the suburbs that I really dislike.
7:19 pm
fuzzybunny
My husband and I want to go to Alaska in the worst way. The only thing holding us back is time and trying to decide where exactly to go. We want to see and experience it all, but know that we can't in one visit.
7:20 pm
DragonsDown
I've heard the inside passage cruise is fabulous. I'd like to do that myself one day.
7:21 pm
DragonsDown
Welp, I need to get back to work. It was very nice chatting with you, fuzzybunny. Catch you later!
7:21 pm
fuzzybunny
We have a condo at a ski area that we go to on the weekends, just so that we can change our demographics for the weekend. (and ski of course)

be warned; it may be addictive, however, I have never had a problem and have quit many times:)

yes, quite addictive, always measure out very small doses at a time!! (impossibl, i know)

Well, I'm off. G'night all, and thanks for the warm welcome.

it's the word used to describe Chinese writing using western letters....

The pi 6/27 is a system for transliterating Chinese into the Latin alphabet. Put definition into Reverse Dictionary and it is second word on the list LeslieAnn and hi! How are U?

Good Evening again (if anyone is still here)
9:42 pm
Minveryork
Hello Nef!How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.
9:42 pm
Nef
Hi Min. I'm doing okay; how are you tonight?
9:43 pm
Minveryork
I am well Nef. I am saving my last word, but need to enter it soon since I need to go to bed very soon.Story in profile.
9:44 pm
Nef
Thanks, Min. I still have 40 words to find; grandson came home and that was the end of my afternoon break. (Not that I minded too much….)
9:46 pm
Minveryork
My husband came home and that was the end of my break
9:46 pm
Minveryork
And that I DID mind! But I'm back again ready to give clues
9:46 pm
Nef
I know how that goes too!
9:48 pm
Nef
this will sound very bad; but sometimes I wish my DH was still working; because I never get time alone anymore. I like to do things (such as cleaning; or reading or crafting) without someone constantly underfoot
9:50 pm
Minveryork
I'm guilty of NOT wanting to clean, but instead wanting to play my games like Babble&Candy Crush in peace instead.
9:52 pm
Nef
LOL! I understand that too! I sit down (like now) just to relax and play here and suddenly he starts asking questions about totally unrelated things: what shall we have for dinner tomorrow (my answer: "I don't care; let's wait til tomorrow & see what we want then!)
9:53 pm
Nef
Or: "Can you look at my back? Is there a rash there? It's itchy" (my answer: "stop scratching it and it will stop itching!")
9:56 pm
Minveryork
Right now, my hubby is texting me because he is too damn lazy to walk up the stairs and actually speak to me. Refuse to text him when we are both home. Not wasting my texts
9:56 pm
Minveryork
And then he gets mad at me when I don't respond to texts.
9:57 pm
Nef
oh dear! I text me son (who's working downstairs) quite often because he's working and has sound-reducing ear phones on
9:58 pm
Nef
I can yell at him til my voice wears out and he doesn't know I'm yelling at him
10:00 pm
Minveryork
Well I used to be a real stickler about texting.I used to say I would text only if it is an absolute emergency. Now I text all of the time. Oh the wonders of technology these days!
10:02 pm
Nef
That is so true! As a kid I used to think about the changes my Grandmother saw; from starting out with horse and buggys to seeing a man walk on the moon!
10:02 pm
Nef
Now-a-days I think about the changes in my own lifetime!
10:04 pm
Minveryork
Feel very old when I realize that my students have no idea what a record or a phonograph is or don't know about the rotary phone we used to use not that long ago either.
10:06 pm
Nef
So true. I grew up with a telephone party line; trying to explain that to a kid is so crazy! (The neighbor boy thinks it would bbs pretty cool to have a party line!)
10:07 pm
Nef
Or trying to explain why the one toddler pull toy has a rotary dial!
10:11 pm
Nef
BTW, Min, thanks for the clues.
10:14 pm
Minveryork
I did not grow up with a telephone party line, but I still do feel old at times. I also wonder what other changes will occur in my lifetime.Do U remember when Nextels used to be the big thing in the cell phone world Nef?
10:14 pm
herinfernallady
hi
10:14 pm
Nef
Min, go ahead & enter your last word. I still have 25 words to find; but now I'm fighting to stay awake. I'm going to put the kettle on for a bit of tea & will be right back
10:14 pm

Hello herinfernallady! How are you doing?Welcome to grid

Hi Herin! BRB!

Back again n ow
10:22 pm
herinfernallady
howdy back sorry pc has slow gremlins in it\
10:23 pm
Nef
Min, Nextels; no, I don't remember Nextels. I first thought that they were those big old brick sized (& shaped!) early cell phones, but I Googled that and those big phones never came up in the pictures
10:24 pm
Nef
herin, how are you? I saw an *interesting* comment from you today on FB; what's new?
10:25 pm
herinfernallady
Was that the Justin Bieber comment I made or another probably not appropriate comment
10:26 pm
Nef
no, not Justin Bieber. It was about you. (You don't have to tell me here if you don't want to)
10:27 pm
herinfernallady
the getting ducks in a row? Yes I have a few ideas up my sleave for the new year
10:27 pm
Nef
That's the one! Good for you! :-D
10:28 pm
Minveryork
I am finished! I have fireworks! pi 6/27 was my final word.
10:28 pm
herinfernallady
And any ducks getting out of line will be getting a slapping
10:28 pm

I will be here for five more minutes if anybody needs clues

10:33 pm

Is it acceptable to go crazy at the computer it is being so slow today. Think it may be time for the good old fashioned clean, bin and defrag
10:34 pm
Nef
that sounds about right, herin. Unless it's the servers' fault

Good Night, Min. Pleasant dreams!
10:50 pm
Nef
So, herin; what is new in your life?
10:58 pm
herinfernallady
not much trying to get organised for holidays
11:00 pm
Nef
Yeah; same here. This year my house looks terrible: having a 5year old around has really made a messy house this time around
11:00 pm
herinfernallady
But little R is cute
11:01 pm
Nef
He isn't the only messy person; it's the fact that I just don't have any time or energy to get some of the main jobs done while he's here.
11:02 pm
herinfernallady
The little black kitty was sick so that ate our holiday money
11:02 pm
Nef
He IS adorable, herin! But very very strong-willed too! And *I* AM his playmate since there aren't any kids on our block anymore.
11:03 pm
Nef
Is the cat better?
11:03 pm
Nef
Sometimes gifts from the heart are better than things bought with money.
11:05 pm
herinfernallady
Kitty is fine. He lost about a kilo and was in the vets for 3 days
11:05 pm
Nef
When we've been very poor; we'd make coupon books (which were redeemable for things that take time: house cleaning; back massage; etc.)
11:05 pm
Nef
Oh MY! Poor cat!
11:07 pm
herinfernallady
By holiday money I mean we are going away
11:10 pm
Nef
OH! WHere are you going? (I really would love to go somewhere but DH gets sick every time we plan a vacation)
11:10 pm
herinfernallady
We are going to see my parents
11:10 pm
Nef
How far is that?
11:12 pm
herinfernallady
errr 12hours by ferry
11:13 pm
Nef
Wow! Is it still in Australia or NZ or ???
11:13 pm
herinfernallady
Aus
11:14 pm
Nef
That sounds like fun!
11:14 pm
herinfernallady
It will be if everything actually friggen works to plan
11:15 pm
Nef
(Of course, I've only been on a ferry once in my life for less than 20 minutes. Everything Sounds more fun since I've never done it
11:15 pm
herinfernallady
Thankfully the weather looks like it will be a nice day
11:16 pm
Nef
That's good. When will you go?
