hello everyone :)

2:39 am

sprite

morning all

2:39 am

rururocks

good morning everyone

2:40 am

sprite

hi ru

2:40 am

rururocks

how are you doing sprite.. recovering well. I hope your family is taking good care of you

2:41 am

sprite

am doing well, recovery progressing nicely. Family is too used to me taking care of them, they are learning to care for me now.

2:41 am

sprite

and how are you and yours doing, ru?

2:42 am

rururocks

that was what I hoped. I bet you're very sore. I have had two friends do the same procedure. I hope they don't let you do things and bring to you what you need

2:43 am

rururocks

I'm fine more or less.. getting ready for my busiest season now

2:43 am

sprite

well no, they are learning, not actually being very successful at it, lol. Yeah, it is painful. But walking around is good. Just no lifting or straining at all.

2:44 am

sprite

did your friends benefit from it?

2:44 am

rururocks

absolutely no lifting...

2:44 am

rururocks

yes. but for one recovery went smoothly and for the other a little more challenging

2:46 am

sprite

so far all goes smoothly here, I hope it stays that way. I am being careful and am following the rules like a good little soldier.

2:47 am

rururocks

I think that is the smartest thing to do. Do exactly what they say in recovery. I hope it goes really well for you .. this is a BIG BIG deal. I really understand

2:47 am

sprite

thanks ru. Yes it is. A life- and body-changing decision.

2:48 am

cosdem

2:58 am

2:58 am

rururocks

just a trouble maker who of course never is at fault for anything

2:59 am

sprite

2:59 am

rururocks

2:59 am

sprite

3:02 am

rururocks

this is a snarky little grid isn't it

3:03 am

sprite

so far so good, but I am only just past halfway. I don't know about the aussies. Rose isn't online at all, which is unusual. And Liz might be having dinner.

3:04 am

rururocks

I have 100.. but it isn't getting easier

3:04 am

rururocks

rose is probably eating dinner too I bet

3:04 am

sprite

3:05 am

rururocks

3:05 am

sprite

4:45 pm

cybernan

is there even a def for it?

4:45 pm

cybernan

I suppose it is something a smith might know

4:46 pm

MollyL

You can see the definition of a word by clicking the ? next to it

4:46 pm

cybernan

yes molly, I know that

4:46 pm

MollyL

Oh, you asked if there was a definition for it

4:47 pm

cybernan

turqaz

4:59 pm

rururocks

damn it

4:59 pm

turqaz

cr7: Start like the red berry that makes a breakfast juice, double the consonant in the middle and end with the first two of what Shrek is. Then add a vowel for the 8

4:59 pm

Sugrraleona

5:23 pm

MollyL

5:23 pm

penquis

hah!....no problem....

Oops

5:26 pm

therealblah

not quite... :)

5:26 pm

penquis

i like the clues i get that make me think....

5:26 pm

eieios

Got it. Thx

5:28 pm

MollyL

When it gets to...snake letter + chair letter + first vowel + third vowel + hook letter + single hump letter...you might as well just put the word in chat

5:30 pm

MollyL

I believe the original point of cluing words was to hint but not s**ell them out. It's gotten way beyond that lately.

5:30 pm

penquis

i am done....

5:30 pm

MollyL

See, I can't even do the *** thing right

5:30 pm

ch1212

Before this thread gets too far down the road, a gentle reminder ... we all have different ways to clue, different likes and dislikes about how others clue... and the beautiful thing about Babble has always been our acceptance of each other's differences...

Congrats pen!!!

5:31 pm

penquis

ty...

5:31 pm

therealblah

agree ch, and nobody has to provide/use/read clues

5:31 pm

therealblah

i however am grateful for any clue that gets me over the hump ;)

5:32 pm

eieios

Me too!

5:32 pm

ch1212

It's a thin line, I understand, because there are such strong feelings one way or the other. Sometimes folks just want to vent a little and that should be okay too. :)

5:32 pm

MollyL

There are no rules here about anything...including expressing an opinion.

5:32 pm

rururocks

whereas I'm grateful for any clues to get me humped :D

5:32 pm

penquis

hah!

5:33 pm

therealblah

oh ru

5:33 pm

rururocks

:D

5:33 pm

MollyL

Which hump Ru, single hump or double hump?

5:34 pm

rururocks

I might be too old now for a double hump

5:34 pm

therealblah

i think ru will take any hump he can get...just sayin

5:34 pm

ch1212

LOL!!!! Bad, ruru!

And Molly, that's what I'm saying .. .opinions are good too. I've seen this particular thread devolve into fracious chat with others, so thought I'd offer up the gentle reminder. It's all good. â™¥

5:35 pm

ch1212

Now, YOU, ruru ... what are we to do with you! (Except keep laughing and sending you virtual hugs)

5:36 pm

MollyL

I think the overall point is that clues should be clues, or hints, not another way of spelling out the word. Most people play this game to test their ability to find words on their own. Some people just arrive in chat and expect clues to be handed to them. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

5:37 pm

ch1212

Spekaing of clues - are there any B words longer than 1 b6?

5:37 pm

therealblah

well played ch...nice segue :)

5:38 pm

turqaz

ch: no

5:39 pm

MollyL

Actually, I appreciate the fact that Ch1212 felt comfortable enough to express a different point of view without the whole thing turning into a big dramatic blow up. Thank you Ch.

5:39 pm

ch1212

5:40 pm

therealblah

and molly, i wonder how you know why 'most' people play this game? And what 'some' people do? Seems presumptive.

5:42 pm

penquis

ch....just one ba 6....

5:42 pm

ch1212

Thanks, pen :). On that kind note, I'm retiring to the buzzer of a dryer. bbl

5:43 pm

MollyL

Well, "most" may have been presumptive. However, the point of the game, as stated in the HELP section is...to list as many words of the highest point value as YOU can find among the random assortment of letters in the cube grid. Not as many words as other people can find for you.

5:48 pm

rururocks

that's kind of true.. since the game is mostly played by lurkers we don't know how they are playing

5:50 pm

MollyL

Like I said, there are no rules. You can play any way you want. It depends on what kind of a challenge you are interested in.

5:50 pm

therealblah

And presumably they are playing the way they want to, without the chat clues. I appreciate them in all forms, thoughtful, silly, banal, etc.

5:51 pm

therealblah

them = the clues. slaps myself on wrist.

5:52 pm

rururocks

I like silly clues personally

5:53 pm

penquis

i just don't like unsolicited clues....

5:54 pm

MollyL

It's been asked time and time again for people to not blurt out clues without them being asked for. That never seems to stick. People who want to play without being "spoiled" by clues have to turn chat off until they are done.

5:55 pm

mummy

Lurk lurk

5:55 pm

therealblah

Molly - sounds like you want a rule, lol

5:56 pm

MollyL

Nope, I'm not a rules person. I work around the "turn chat off if it doesn't work for you" philosophy. I'm just reiterating what has been said here before.

5:57 pm

MollyL

However, I don't think it is unfair for people to ask that clues not be blurted out when they haven't been asked for.

5:59 pm

therealblah

Sounds like a good approach. But since this is a public website (and un-moderated [sp?!] as far as I can tell), it's a tough proposition.

6:00 pm

turqaz

i feel that i started this; thanks for the good discussion

6:00 pm

mummy

This is a game to fill in the 'can't be bothered to do the ironing, hang out the washing, have a shower, clean the loo time.. the alternative to the Times crossword ( who on earth can be bothered with that?) ..

6:00 pm

MollyL

This site is not moderated and anything goes. So people can make requests, but they seldom stick. Used to be there was an understanding that there would be no clues or stats given in the first hour that the grid was up. That has gone by the wayside.

6:02 pm

mummy

Hey, just chill out and enjoy, clues or not!!

6:02 pm

penquis

hrumph!....i do the NY Times crossword every day.... ;o)

6:02 pm

therealblah

I'm curious what you mean by 'understanding.' How do you achieve consensus amongst potentially 1000's of anonymous participants? It's unlikely.

6:03 pm

therealblah

Thx mummy, that's my philosophy.

6:03 pm

mummy

Penquis, you are more inteligent than me then, but I no longer buy the daily paper or see it on line,

6:04 pm

penquis

i subscribe just to the puzzle....

6:04 pm

therealblah

I dothe NYT crossword with diminishing success throughout the week, lol

6:05 pm

penquis

lol...i hear ya...

6:05 pm

mummy

Good for you penquis, I will continue to lurk, as I have done since finding babble when I lived in Australia in 2001..

6:08 pm

penquis

i always lurk when i start a new grid.....it's fun just to find as many words as i can....that's the part that is enjoyable to me....but i am a little O-C, so if I start, i have to finish... ;o)

6:09 pm

serenitynow

And there are people who don't care about rules who just put the words right into the chat log... But, they don't want anyone to spell out any clues.

6:09 pm

mummy

Now I have kilked the chat (again) I will say nite nite to all, everytime I say something it all goes quiet over there...

6:10 pm

penquis

g'nite, mummy...

6:10 pm

mummy

If I wake up tomorrow it will be a good day!

6:11 pm

therealblah

not at all mummy! join in the chat more often. g'nite

6:11 pm

therealblah

lol serenity

6:11 pm

mummy

Nite nite Pen, nite nite Therealb

6:15 pm

therealblah

any day that you wake up is a good day mum...

6:19 pm

rururocks

night mummy.. hope you get unwrapped

6:23 pm

rururocks

you seem like such an angry person serenity..

6:25 pm

rururocks

...just sayin'...

6:27 pm

serenitynow

Not angry, just observant.

6:29 pm

rururocks

I think words get posted at a time where the person asking for a clue is not getting the hints and clues from everyone and it's pointless to continue to clue.
I have seen a lot of people do that.. not just one person

6:33 pm

serenitynow

5:56 and 5:57 posts include words in the grid: tu 4/5 and un 6/30 from the person who does not approve of spelling out the clues.

6:36 pm

penquis

hah!...i don't believe using ordinary words in conversation is giving away clues.....using un 6 instead of a word in conversation is giving away words.....

6:36 pm

rururocks

I agree with that.. it was a statement to a discussion and not put in there to "clue"

6:36 pm

Lizlin

Just creeping in to say good morning - now I'll just slink into lurk mode and try to find my last 30 words :)

6:37 pm

penquis

hi liz...

6:37 pm

rururocks

hello liz

6:37 pm

Lizlin

Hi, guys - problem is, I can never stay quiet for long ;)

6:38 pm

penquis

lol....you don't have to....

6:38 pm

Lizlin

I know! Really but it was a serious discussion and I didn't want to break it up.

6:38 pm

serenitynow

Most people try to avoid doing this. One in particular doesn't seem to bother.

6:40 pm

rururocks

everyone does it.. and almost everyone posts words in the chat by accident. I think you just have an agenda

6:41 pm

penquis

i don't bother to asterisk parts of words used in a conversation and i never will....

6:42 pm

penquis

it's equivalent to posting unsolicited clues....i won't do that....

6:42 pm

Lizlin

In a large grid, it's almost impossible to chat without occasionally using a grid word by mistake!

6:42 pm

penquis

agreed...

6:43 pm

penquis

if you don't call attention to it, nobody notices...

6:43 pm

Lizlin

And as for people's names ...

6:44 pm

Lizlin

For me, in the end, it's a game. I really like the virtual people I chat to and I've been lucky enough to meet 4 or 5 really lovely babble people.

6:45 pm

penquis

it is a game.....and chat, as Molly said, can be turned off....i sometimes do that if i want to just find words....

i have been playing with colorfy lately....a mindless coloring activity....

7:15 pm

I downloaded that but haven't really played with it :)

7:15 pm

sukee

I purchased a coloring book a couple of months ago.

7:15 pm

Lizlin

That looks fun - I have an adult colouring book, which I use sometimes.

7:16 pm

7:16 pm

I have adult coloring books too!

7:16 pm

I also love my adult dot-to-dot book.

colorfy is easier on the hands, though....

7:16 pm

Also bought colored pencils and markers when I saw them on sale.

7:16 pm

Lizlin

I'll look into colourfy

7:16 pm

It's funny, when you say adult to some people they assume you mean X-rated :)

7:16 pm

I tried jigidi, but found it wasn't as good as puzzles for friends. It is on fb too...
https://www.facebook.com/Puzzle\nsWithFriends

7:38 pm

Lizlin

Just downloaded colorfy - thanks for the recommendation. I'll give it a go. Kate, there are a few babble players on jigidi - I've got a few puzzles there, jbp has loads, sprite has quite a few and crossy and Zooz too.

7:39 pm

Lizlin

I'll have a look at it but no promises .... Anyway, it's 10.38 now and I guess I need to get going. Thanks for the chat and the clues, earlier, to some really twisty words. Enjoy your evenings.

7:39 pm

TraderKate

I know Jill is on jigidi, which is how I came to give it a try...didn't realize there were other babblers on too.

7:39 pm
