two perfectly good words not in this dict - one, the quality of being very expensive; the other, a 6/7 letter meaning a stringed instrument. This dict needs work!

9:18 am

Judi

I want another cup of coffee, but my eyelid is twitching so I guess I've had enough.

9:19 am

rururocks

I hate that with coffee..

9:19 am

rururocks

when I was on a pot a day mine would too

9:19 am

NatashaW

is THAT why my eyelid twitches? Had no idea :-)

9:20 am

NatashaW

But coffee is my 2nd religion, between Judaism and peaches

9:20 am

Judi

Yeah. Looked it up on Web MD. Caffeine is about the only thing that will make your eyelids twitch.

9:20 am

Trifioso

I had to give up coffee....im not happy, but I had to

9:20 am

EvaNadine

i want more coffee, but ive already had two rush trips to the loo. :/

9:21 am

bichon

LOL Natasha

9:21 am

NatashaW

oy Trif I feel for you

9:21 am

Judi

I don't care. I can live with twitchy eyelids. Me love coffee!

9:21 am

Trifioso

feel for my poor students, lol

9:21 am

Judi

Why did you have to give it up, Trif?

9:21 am

EvaNadine

oddly enough, i never craved coffee until i was pregnant!

9:21 am

NatashaW

I tried giving it up. 3 weeks later I was still wretched. Decided to put up with a few excess heartbeats.

9:22 am

Trifioso

long medical story - It was causing a huge, damaging inflammatory response in me

9:22 am

NatashaW

oh wow, I guess I'd give it up then... sorry Trif!!

9:22 am

Judi

Yikes. Okay. No coffee for you.

9:22 am

bichon

I will only drink coffee if it's mmostly steamed milk and Splenda

9:23 am

Trifioso

lololol evanadine = pregnancy is GREAT for that! I was a strict vegetarian until I got pregnant with Primo - who is basically built from turkey sandwiches

9:23 am

NatashaW

that's not coffee, that's coffee milk, the favorite drink of RI

9:23 am

NatashaW

haha trif!!! I was a veg till i got pregnant, then chicken and I became friends again. But my kid is built mostly from 3 a.m. French toast

9:23 am

Judi

Hmmm. Maybe I should try going cold turkey. I'll probably face plant into my keyboard here at work. Would be interesting to see if it helped my fybro.

9:24 am

Judi

Fibro, rather.

9:24 am

bichon

I get it from my dad. He never drank coffee. My mother drank tons

9:24 am

NatashaW

instead of cold turkey my GI doc suggested a gradual withdrawal, mixing in ever more decaf beans each day

9:24 am

swmbo

oven ovens

9:24 am

NatashaW

might be easier and more successful

9:24 am

rururocks

I think I was built on manhattans and chocolate

9:24 am

Trifioso

each of my kids is "built" from some weird thing - primo was turkey sandwiches and apple Snapple, Secondo was chicken corn chowder, and tertiare was raspberry lime slushies. shrug.

9:25 am

Judi

Both my parents drunk it black. Yeech. I gotta dope it up with cocoa, a little stevia and some milk.

9:25 am

rururocks

(black coffee here)

9:25 am

Judi

Hard core!

9:26 am

NatashaW

serious setup here - Lelit espresso machine and Rancilio grinder. Next stop - roasting my own beans.

9:26 am

rururocks

<-- pavoni when I want espresso

9:27 am

NatashaW

Ooh, a purist.

9:27 am

Judi

My sister drunk espresso like regular coffee, 3-4 cups a day. Oy. I'd be running around on the roof if I had that.

9:27 am

EvaNadine

Kieran was built of coffee (decaf during pregnancy!) and ice cream.

9:27 am

Trifioso

YOU ARE KILLING ME

9:27 am

rururocks

that's for sundays to get my heart started

9:27 am

bichon

We're tea drinkers here

9:27 am

NatashaW

there's actually less caffeine in an espresso shot than in a typical American mug of overbrewed Bunn

9:27 am

Judi

Sorry, Trif. Can you have decaf?

9:27 am

NatashaW

okay let's stop, poor Trif is suffering

9:27 am

EvaNadine

im with Bichon -- what i drink cant be legally identified as coffee. but i swear coffee is an ingredient in my coffee!

9:28 am

rururocks

decaf is warm brown water

9:29 am

Judi

Drinking decaf is like getting plasma when you really need a blood transfusion.

9:29 am

EvaNadine

alas, it's all youre allowed during pregnancy!

I don't like this grid...I am not having fun...

11:49 am

jwr

shirl, I think the word you're looking for means an act or musical number during breaks in a melodrama. You were close, with the margarine.

11:51 am

harpjane

11:52 am

HarryHood

rovie (pl. rovies) - not sure what it means, but it has something to do with supreme court decisions, like rovie wade

11:54 am

jwr

I don't know if this helps for the ol8: the food you put in a martini but change last vowel to "me"+ last half of eating out on the ground with the ants.

11:54 am

Biltong

11:58 am

That's cause I like a long slow death . . .

6:06 pm

TraderKate

death by a thousand babblets? ;)

6:06 pm

helenkeller

Remember - someone used to do that? Held their breath, made me crazy. Who was it?

6:07 pm

helenkeller

A person would count down & she'd type 'getting redder.' Who???

6:07 pm

TraderKate

When they were waitning for someone to FW?

6:07 pm

helenkeller

Yes!

6:07 pm

TraderKate

Gwen maybe? It sounds somewhat familiar.

6:08 pm

helenkeller

Someone would announce they had like 5,6 words & the breath holding would start. No, not Gwen, but someone not overly prone to silliness (counts us out).

6:08 pm

helenkeller

IT WAS STIDDY!!!!

6:08 pm

TraderKate

HA! There you go :D

6:09 pm

helenkeller

Oh, now I hope I remember that whenever I see her next.

MaMaWA

One is thw sp**** of war ?

10:34 pm

gapeach

Yes, I have that one.....it's the one under that. Thanks for looking.

10:35 pm

MaMaWA

SP 6/24 is from the top s in first column and you probably have all the worrds that come out of this word

10:36 pm

MaMaWA

If you are married you might find it ?

10:37 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, MaMa.

10:37 pm

MaMaWA

YVW

10:48 pm

MaMaWA

I just realizied I gave you bad info even, peach. That sp comes from the second S in the first columm. Sorry

10:48 pm

MaMaWA

This grid is wearing me out .

10:55 pm

gapeach

That is ok MaM.

10:59 pm

Nef

And I'm just confused. (Not unusual, I know) I'm trying to change my hard drive back up; and the darn thing didn't have directions (this is the 3rd electronic gadget I've bought this week without directions, just pictures at the most!). I was just starting to play Babble & my son came to *help* me change backup drives.he found a web page telling me how; said "there you go" & left. So I'm trying to figure out what a GUID partition format is and where to check this & none of it makes sense!

11:03 pm

MaMaWA

Oh no Nef

11:04 pm

MaMaWA

Wish I could help but I cannot even figure out how to copy my word list to lickety list!

11:21 pm

TraderKate

MaMa... copy word lisy... scroll to the bottom of Lickety paste in "Bulk Add": area...<emter>

11:23 pm

TraderKate

Hi Peach :)
The other SP 6 is one you marry

11:24 pm

Nef

Thanks, Kate for that word.

11:26 pm

MaMaWA

Kate I cannot get it to work on my iPad ? I have tried everything i can think of so i just look back and forth and try to figure it out.

11:29 pm

Nef

And after another trial (trying to find *where anything* about formatting is (dang Users Manual on new harddrive says it's at the bottom of the page in Utilities at the bottom of the new drive; -and of course there isn't anything at the top, bottom of sides of any drive, I give up & will work on Babble.

11:32 pm

TraderKate

MaMaWa.. I don't know anything about I dpads... but if you click my profile, I have a link for Babble Expert in there - it combines the regular grid and chog ferom the PlayBabble site with Lickety... then you can freely send words to Lickety from Babble and vice versa. Sanity saver - to say nothing of time!

11:33 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for se6-18? Thanks

11:34 pm

TraderKate

the age when you start getting discounts peach? Golden age early bird specials at the restaurant, for example

11:35 pm

gapeach

Thank you so much, Kate. My computer had shut down and that was the last word I needed. FW

11:36 pm

Nef

Kate & MaMaWa, Babble Expert doesn't work on Macs; and when I talked to Babble OverLord about it once (years ago) he had no plans to ever set it up for Apple products.

11:37 pm

TraderKate

That's a shame Nef.. I think he would have had to rewrite everything for a Mac. Still not a lot of folks use it, though I hear they are great once you gey the hang of is. I remember Wolvie worked on a MAc

11:37 pm

MaMaWA

Ty Kate and Nef and I think I have expert on my desktop . We moved recently and I have been using ipad for everything.

11:37 pm

TraderKate

Congratulations peach!!!!

11:38 pm

TraderKate

Maybe someone out there can tell you how to copy/paste using an iPad???

11:39 pm

MaMaWA

I dont know anyone anymore that does not use MAC and so mony folks just use their pads and phones now for everything. But I love this game and came back to it after about a 5 yr abscence

11:40 pm

TraderKate

I took a long vacation from Babble as well MaMa, glad to see you back in the chog :)

11:41 pm

MaMaWA

Its no big deal . I dont like to list anyway but when I catch random clues or I wnat to ask for a clue its handy to have. No worries here.

11:42 pm

TraderKate

Okay Mama, it's nice to have.. and you can always "drag the bar" across to hide the list. I do that a lot.

11:42 pm

Nef

I don't have an iPad; so I don't know. I have a MiniMac computer and an iPhone; I can copy on my computer but not my iPhone ('m definitely not a computer or phone expert, as you can tell by my problems with my back up hard drive).

11:42 pm

MaMaWA

I see many familiar â€œfacesâ€ even after a time away. Its kinda comforting

11:43 pm

MaMaWA

Haha Nef

11:43 pm

TraderKate

It's like you've never been away, isn't it MaMa? :)
Poor nef, I am no help to you at all...

11:44 pm

Nef

I took my break from Babble a couple of years ago; I was pretty much addicted to finishing every grid I started; but now I don't care anymore.

11:45 pm

MaMaWA

Yes it is Kate! And I dont try finishing every grid either Nef!

11:45 pm

MaMaWA

I play a lot of Words with Friends, and Scrabble as well.

11:48 pm

Nef

Same here MamaWa. I play WWF on my phone; scrabble on a (old-fashioned ) board on a table, and Babble on my computer. I don't waste my *whole* day that way; just chunks of it here & there! :-)

11:48 pm

TraderKate

I still try to finish. :/

11:49 pm

MaMaWA

I try Kate, but if im too late like now with 92 words left I dont fret about it !!

11:49 pm

Nef

That's okay, Kate. I still like you . <3

11:49 pm

MaMaWA

Dont frea

11:50 pm

MaMaWA

Me too kate ,

11:50 pm

MaMaWA

I just realized my priorties when i was sick and just happy to be here now.
