3:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Matty :-)

3:11 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz)) You shouldn't speak to me; I'm a very bad girl, got the boxes mixed up!

3:12 am

rubyfoo

Hello British Matty

3:12 am

mattygroves

:D I shall get up and shower and dress - ceremony is at 11.30

3:12 am

zoozzoom

lol I can see. But hey they were easy words to find anyway so I wouldn't worry.

3:12 am

rubyfoo

Ceremony, Mattyy?

3:12 am

zoozzoom

Ceremony, Matty?

3:13 am

rubyfoo

snap, zzoozz

3:13 am

zoozzoom

Teehee!

3:13 am

mattygroves

I swear my allegiance to the queen and her corgis today

3:13 am

mattygroves

Become officially British

3:13 am

mattygroves

After 29 years in the UK

3:13 am

rubyfoo

Congratulations!

3:14 am

zoozzoom

Oh congrats!, Matty! Hope you have a pleasant day.

3:14 am

mattygroves

Thank you :D

3:15 am

rubyfoo

That is lovely, especially these days!

3:16 am

mattygroves

There's tea with the mayor (or deputy mayor) after. Because it wouldn't be British if tea weren't involved

3:16 am

mattygroves

Can I have stats for the Es in the bottom row?

3:16 am

zoozzoom

lol Of course! I am drinking tea as we speak!

3:17 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Matty I have only just started so have not got that far yet. Will look.

3:17 am

jbp

only one i have is eo 5/12

3:18 am

mattygroves

No worries. I shall shortly be showering anyway. Just a quick peek in before getting myself ready

3:18 am

rubyfoo

Me either, Matty

3:18 am

jbp

sorry et i mean

3:18 am

rubyfoo

Are you wearing a fancy hat (to go with the mayor's tea)?

3:19 am

mattygroves

No - I don't do hats. But I shall wear a dress

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Found ET 7/32 & ET 5/12

3:19 am

jbp

i'd love a clue for the p in the corner, so to speak

3:19 am

zoozzoom

And ET 6/21

3:19 am

mattygroves

I had to morewords it - it's PS and then a buttload of vowels

3:19 am

zoozzoom

PS 5/12

3:19 am

zoozzoom

It is all vowels

3:20 am

jbp

that must be the british imperial buttload, I assume ;-)

3:20 am

mattygroves

Zooz is politer than I

3:20 am

jbp

thx for the clue.

3:20 am

mattygroves

Hah, yes, jbp - exactly that. It's 20% bigger than the American

3:20 am

zoozzoom

I always remember that one as it can be spelt with two different vowels on the end.

3:20 am

jbp

lol

3:20 am

zoozzoom

The other vowel ending is not in the grid today.

3:20 am

jbp

so, may I also have a clue for the A in the upper right? then I an go to sleep

3:21 am

mattygroves

To go up, jbp - as in climbing a mountain

3:21 am

zoozzoom

And plural.

3:21 am

jbp

ah, thx. not as in, to not get in trouble, you should cover your as - - -

3:21 am

jbp

thx

3:22 am

rubyfoo

hah, got the ps -- there are just a few possible combos

3:22 am

jbp

well, on either side of the pond today, have a great day, all!

3:22 am

jbp

and thx for the clues!

3:22 am

zoozzoom

You too, Jbp :-)

3:24 am

mattygroves

Shower time!

3:24 am

rubyfoo

Have a great day, Matty!

3:24 am

zoozzoom

If I don't see you later, Matty, Have a great day!

3:25 am

zoozzoom

Have you been watching Le Tour De France, Ruby?

3:28 am

rubyfoo

Is the Pope Catholic?

3:28 am

zoozzoom

LOL

3:29 am

rubyfoo

Sandyloo and I are huge fans and now that my chouchou Alejandro Valverde crashed, I amrooting for Richie Porte, an Australian on an American team.

3:30 am

zoozzoom

I watched the whole stage yesterday.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

This way, I don't feel disloyal and she and I compare notes all day

3:30 am

zoozzoom

Yes I saw the crash into the railings. He had an opereation on his knee cap...Ouch!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday was looong! It will get better and better as the countryside changes

3:31 am

zoozzoom

Yes it always does get better as the stages go on!

3:31 am

rubyfoo

And his leg had another brak. I think his great career is over!

3:31 am

zoozzoom

I still have my polka dot Shirt!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

Do you? I had a polka dot cap but I gave it away to avisitor

3:32 am

zoozzoom

Well he is not a spring chicken any more and it will take a lot longer to recover from it. So you could well be right about the end of his career.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

But he was MY spring chicken!

3:33 am

zoozzoom

lol

3:33 am

rubyfoo

gets

3:33 am

rubyfoo

whoops

3:33 am

rubyfoo

no more chat for bad nel!!!

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Must admit this grid is flowing rather nicely here.

3:35 am

zoozzoom

I will not be able to watch the whole stage today as I will be with parents.

3:37 am

zoozzoom

All they like watching is bargain hunt or judge judy.

3:40 am

zoozzoom

Well it is time for me to get going anyway. Happy babbling everyone!

3:41 am

hi marian

4:57 am

rubyfoo

This grid is OK, but I wouldn't call it ea*y

6:37 am

MollyL

I don't think any of these grids are easy. If they were, far less people would play this game. It is the challenge involved that makes it interesting.

6:41 am

bichon

Bring back larger grids!

6:41 am

bichon

sandyloo

Hey , I agree where are the big grids. I am sick of these little ones

7:19 am

LuvWordGames

se 6/24 please?

7:22 am

MollyL

Not first

7:23 am

LuvWordGames

thanks Molly, was focused on a different letter in the 3rd position

7:28 am

MollyL

That is why I find the list very helpful at times. When you see that se6/24 is number two in the series of se words, intuition tells you what the third letter might be.

7:39 am

sandyloo

I like the list too, I couldn't finish without it

7:46 am

Sandieangel

Is anyone else having problems with Babble today. It is very slow and keeps telling me to try again.

7:46 am

bichon

Not I

7:47 am

Aloyisius

same here Sandie

7:47 am

Sandieangel

It's quite frustrating.

7:48 am

Aloyisius

yes, have to keep refreshing

7:48 am

welki

hi, all. same here

7:48 am

Sandieangel

Me too. It seems the only way to make it work.

7:51 am

It seems the server connection keeps dropping out for many of us. Email Dr. God if it gets to be a big problem.

The first word was mistyped though. Supposed to be feet.

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

9:46 am

cybernan

good morning everyone

9:46 am

Scrabbler

SJ, is that a riddle or a philosophical question?

9:47 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nan.

9:47 am

SamanthaJoy

It's actually a line from a comedy troupe I like. :D

9:48 am

Scrabbler

Ah.

9:48 am

MollyL

Firesign Theater

9:49 am

SamanthaJoy

And it seemed to fit in well with the conversation about the existential crisis. I do enjoy this chog; the people in it are so friendly, intelligent, and diverse.

9:52 am

MollyL

I agree Sam. It beats that "how r u" and "gr8" stuff you find elsewhere on the internet.

9:53 am

SamanthaJoy

It's self selecting I suppose. The sort of people who enjoy playing word games are the sort of people who like words, so here we are.

9:55 am

bichon

Does anyone here do the NY Times crossword puzzle. That got me started on word puzzles. Also Quote Puzzler is another word game I enjoy

9:56 am

nrkii

me too, me too bichon

9:56 am

SamanthaJoy

I don't care for the NYT puzzle; my mind doesn't work that way easily, and I find it frustrating.

9:56 am

SamanthaJoy

But Quote Puzzler is one I enjoy

9:56 am

bichon

I haven't seen you at QP in the longest time

9:57 am

nrkii

MYTimes Sunday puzzle had a contest 12 years ago in cooperation with Starbucks, and when doing that, I found a Babble player named Doug from a blog he kept about the puzzle, and then I found Quote Puzzler, and then I found Babble

9:57 am

bichon

what is your name on QP Sam?

9:57 am

nrkii

I'm here nearly every day, but my life is so frantic that I am always sneaking in words during meetings at work, or other times when I can't really chat

9:58 am

bichon

I grew up in NYC and my dad got me hooked

9:58 am

nrkii

Even today, my 78 year old mom, whose birthday is today, is outside setting up tents for a picnic in her yard, so I really need to move my butt outdoors to help soon...

9:58 am

SamanthaJoy

I honestly couldn't tell you, bich? I haven't been there in a long, long time; just too busy.

9:58 am

SamanthaJoy

It's a miracle I find time to show up here most days.

9:58 am

bichon

Okay.

9:59 am

SamanthaJoy

And on that note, I'm done; FW. See y'all tomorrow!

9:59 am

nrkii

Funny thing is that QP takes me a lot less time than Babble, but I find I have time to sneak in babble and I've run short of time to do QP. Which makes me sad.

9:59 am

nrkii

Bye!

9:59 am

bichon

Being retired helps me find the time.

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

Sj, thanks for the list the other day

9:59 am

Scrabbler

nrkii, we miss you on QP.

10:00 am

Scrabbler

Bichon, I love doing the weekend NYT crossword puzzle. Our newspaper has it on Saturdays. I so enjoy the brain challenge.

10:01 am

nrkii

Scrabbler, a mutual friend yesterday said "I miss you" and I replied, "I miss me too." :)

10:02 am

Scrabbler

I worry about you overworking and burning out. You need to slow your life down, nrkii.

10:04 am

nrkii

Yep, am looking for the opportunity to do that, but they are very few and very far between. Just had a spectacular one fall through before it even got off the ground. Sigh...

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no.

10:08 am

nrkii

I am down to my last 2 words... an S5 and S6 which are probably a couple, which means I should be able to find them...

10:08 am

cybernan

*!* -- with all the babblets, foreign and improbable words we get now, I would never be able to finish without the chat and lickety - so thank you.

10:08 am

nrkii

got 'em!!

10:10 am

Anyone need clues before I head out to put up tents?

10:10 am

My brother is here, so I don't mind letting him do the work :)

10:10 am

cybernan

happy tenting, nrkii -- and happy birthday to your mother

10:11 am

Scrabbler

Bye, nrkii. ENjoy your day!

10:11 am

nrkii

Thanks! happy babbling!

10:11 am

cybernan

I'm off as well -- time to head over to the new house

10:16 am

10:17 am

I am here, but I lost interest in the grid long ago.
