Ah! Lickety. OK, will have to hunt. Thanks.

no, enable is a snapshot in time of the scrabble dictionary

Question to all of you regular Babblers: What percentage of words do you think you get most days if you're doing it all on your own. No clues from anyone and no help from Lickety? My friend and I have been doing it for years, rarely asking for help, and average a little over 60%. What say you all? And, Douglas, I love that song!
11:05 am
marilyn992
I shoot for about 2/3. But if it's a very small grid I try to finish.
11:06 am
Douglas
I don't even know if the song "Ahab the Arab" by Ray Stevens could even be recorded these days.
11:08 am
Trifioso
Poor Richard, I try for nbt, nbs, and at least halfway every day. I keep track in my profile of the number of grids I have finished without listing - currently I am at 32.
11:10 am
Haz1558
poor richard, I've been babbling for many years and I have to say that it depends on the grid as to how far I get before turning to other resources. Once I start a grid I like to complete it, I must admit.
11:10 am
Haz1558
And now I'm wondering if poor richard is lacking in money or just looking for sympathy?
11:11 am
poor richard
Douglas, you're probably right. The sheik of the burning sands! Also loved his version of "Misty". A unique talent.
11:13 am
poor richard
Haz1558, LOL. It's just that it's always been a great challenge for my friend and I. I don't like to spend that much time on it, just give it a good run. What I often do, however, is check the word list the following day, especially after a day like two days ago when there were something like 46 ch words and I could only find 32 of them. Drives me nuts. And of course, often I'll have to do a face palm when I see an easy one I missed.
11:15 am
Haz1558
I know what you mean. You can tie yourself up in knots with this game and if the words are twisty, they just don't pop out.
11:16 am
Haz1558
Nothing beats the first run through when you're all optimistic and the words flow easily. I do enjoy the search for the stragglers, though.

I just made a snarky comment on FB. Someone I don't know told me "You don't understand" when I made a comment about a different topic. I replied. 'Thanks for explaining to me that I am stupid." Should I delete it?
12:49 pm
flosey
good morning Nan, just coming in myself
12:50 pm
TraderKate
Hi nan and jane :)
12:51 pm
TraderKate
is the comment on your wall jane, or smoeone else's post?
12:53 pm
harpjane
Someone else's wall. I said that I thought Roseanne would end up on another network, later than prime time, and become a much edgier show. They replied that I don't know what I'm talking about. "The show is over. Period." etc etc
12:54 pm
TraderKate
There's no arguing with an idiot jane. I wouldn't worry about it.
12:55 pm
harpjane
I left the comment up and added. "Sorry for the snarkiness. I'm going to go eat cookies and practice the harp now." He replied that he should not have said i don't understand... All is good.
12:56 pm
TraderKate
:)
It's become much to easy to be uncivil - especially whenyou're online... some people need to have that said once in a while.
12:57 pm
Deeha
I am loathe to put anything on FB now because they all come out of the woodwork with really spiteful comments. People who are afraid to say things face to face hide behind their anonimity on FB

only thing we know for sure regarding RB is that BArbara Walters doesn't want her!

haha.. she's a piece of work, that one...
1:00 pm

Didn't her agent drop her as well?
1:02 pm

had to list for the last 5, and 4 were "duh" words

I didn't see any of them. Think it cionflicted with NCIS or something I like.. never watced it the first time around either htough.
1:03 pm

just got to 55 - but slowing down now
1:03 pm
TraderKate
Congratulations hoy!!!
I am down to 5 as well and will likely have to list :(
1:05 pm
harpjane
I liked the show but I can live without it. I suspect Roseanne will start something else. She'll find a network that will pick her up.
1:05 pm
harpjane
bye hoyand
1:08 pm
cybernan
probably fox!
1:10 pm
harpjane
I conjectured that it would be FX or something. FX carries Atlanta, which uses non-prime time words and themes.
1:10 pm
harpjane
Definitely not Nickelodeon.

nan and jane: “We’re excited to announce that ‘Roseanne’ will be coming to Fox this fall,†said Brian Sullivan, Fox Networks Group president and COO.
1:48 pm
Judi
Well, that didn't take long. I figured some other network would pick up the show.
1:49 pm
sarcasticah
Is that for real?
1:49 pm
sarcasticah
Oh, it isn't -- the places saying Fox picked it up are all fake sites.
1:50 pm
Judi
Oops. Color me punked.
1:51 pm

I fell for the one about the White House offering Roseanne a job yesterday.
1:51 pm
Judi
Noooo! Lol, sarcasticah!
1:52 pm

I know, right?? I'm a librarian, I should know to double-check things!
1:53 pm
Judi
Geesh. It's getting so you have to Snopes everything now.
1:53 pm
TraderKate
Hi Judi, apparently announced hours after cancelation
1:54 pm
sarcasticah
It wasn't actually though. That story isn't true.
1:56 pm
KnightTime
I guess the rumors about Roseanne doing Lunesta commercials are true either :)
1:57 pm
Judi
lol, Knight. I have always like Roseanne, but I am not defending her racist tweet. I don't care what drug(s) she was on. That being said, she has also talked openly about being bi-polar. There could have been a manic episode going on there.
1:58 pm
Judi
As for Twitter, I think the whole thing needs to go away. Just a bunch of unfiltered, thoughtless blurting.
1:59 pm

Anyone have a clue for the Un6/30?

crawling out from lurkerland-- I predicted that Fox would pick up RB's show-- is the comment that they had for real?

Nope, it's a fake news story.
2:04 pm
sarcasticah
The UR6 is a body part.
2:04 pm
zoozzoom
UR + most of a mans name minus the P
2:04 pm
Nef
ur 6 = anatomical tube from kidney to bladder
2:04 pm
sarcasticah
The duct that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.
2:05 pm
zoozzoom
I think that word is taking the urine.
2:05 pm

Nope, not true.

2:12 pm

2:13 pm

(nope, not from that T
2:13 pm

No froom the Middle T
2:14 pm
Nef
May I have a clue, stats or whatever from that 1st column T then?
2:14 pm
zoozzoom
TE + grain that looks like a maggot but without the i
2:14 pm
Nef
(I did get the te5/6
2:14 pm
zoozzoom
Sorry that is for the TE 5/12
2:15 pm

I found it after the clue, Zooz; but thanks for the help. :-)
2:15 pm

Can I get a hint for the un6/21?

2:22 pm

It is TE 6/18, Nef
2:23 pm
zoozzoom
Sorry i thought you said you had found it.
2:23 pm
zoozzoom
I am TE 6/18ing on the brink here.
2:28 pm

Sorry about the fake news post folks :/
I should have scrolled down to the bottom of the article to check...
3:08 pm
Nef
Thank you zooz.
3:12 pm
harpjane
I would not be surprised if a network picks up, or starts, a show with Roseanne. But it will not be any of the mainstream networks, and it won't be the re-boot of the show. Too many actors have quit the show.
3:14 pm
flosey
are there clues for this grid ?
3:17 pm
Nef
Lickety's list is there, flossy (if that's what you mean)
3:18 pm
Nef
sorry, flosey.
3:19 pm
flosey
no problem Nef, I got that name when I started working !!
3:21 pm
flosey
I do believe someone has interfered with my page here, unable to pick up Lickety's list!!
3:23 pm
Nef
I had to try twice to get into Lickety's page; normally I don't have a problem with it
3:25 pm
flosey
It would appear to have been deleted from my page!!
3:26 pm
Nef
Wow! Does someone else have access to your computer flosey?
3:28 pm
flosey
not to my knowledge!!
3:29 pm
flosey
I'll try coming in as if I hadn't started the grid and see if it makes a difference
3:29 pm
Nef
Good idea; I have no idea how someone can mess up your page.
3:31 pm
Nef
(then again, I'm not what *I'd* call even half way proficient on computers!)
3:51 pm
Nef
18 words left to find; time to do something else with my day.
3:54 pm
flosey
Nef, have you left? I'd just like to ask a question if I may
3:55 pm
flosey
in the line just before the words www.playbabble.com it tells me "Not secure" so obviously someone has managed to get in here!
3:56 pm
flosey
just going to turn everything off
3:56 pm
zoozzoom
It has said that for well over a year, Flosey.
3:57 pm
zoozzoom
I am sure it does not mean someone has got onto your computer.
3:57 pm
zoozzoom
I just clicked on licketys clues and they are coming up for me. Although I have finished so do not need them.
4:01 pm

Looks like, Flosey has already gone.
