hahaha! :D

1:15 am

jaianniah

Hi...Does anyone know how Kam is doing?

1:17 am

jaianniah

The 9 is an A and to honest, I monkeyed it.... then I had to look it up because I had never heard the word before.... I saw its ending first....

1:19 am

jaianniah

This puzzle is a mean one....like the weather and such in the USA....we had 18" of rain yesterday and our county made it on ABC Evening News with bad flooding.

1:20 am

jaianniah

Should

1:24 am

rbud

thanks for the A 9... found it.

jaianniah

Hi, sprite!

sprite

*hugs rbud and jai*

1:29 am

jaianniah

Sprite... you may want to return to bed... this puzzle is bizarre. IMO.

1:30 am

sprite

lol! Well, I am kinda partial to bizarre puzzles. Gonna give it a try.

1:30 am

Lizlin

Hi all.

1:31 am

jaianniah

From the grid... R.N.ise: to hire a nurse....(possible new Babblet????)

1:31 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hello dear one, how are you doing? And your beloved?

1:31 am

sprite

lol jai :D

1:32 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Sprite. We're really fine thanks. And you?

1:33 am

sprite

down with the flu, sigh. But otherwise pretty okay. Doing lots of throwing stuff out.

1:34 am

Lizlin

Sorry about the flu. De-cluttering is good. Something I'm not so good at.

1:34 am

jaianniah

Or Or "O-liza: The Star of "My Slow Lady".....

1:34 am

sprite

lol :D

1:35 am

jaianniah

Get well, sweetie. Yuk. Flu. Yuk. Cleaning....

1:35 am

sprite

we didn't do a good job of it either, over the last few years. Now, we are being thorough. Downsizing already.

1:35 am

sprite

thanks jai :)

1:35 am

Lizlin

Should've said that :( Hope you feel better very soon.

1:36 am

jaianniah

That is very wise.

1:36 am

sprite

thanks Liz :)

1:37 am

jaianniah

I just would rather chat than hunt for mostly weirdo words like A9....

1:38 am

sprite

good thing that babble caters to all, Jai ;)

1:38 am

jaianniah

Yup...lol...

1:39 am

zoozzoom

No, Jaiannah I have no idea how, Kam is. Sorry was hanging out my washing. Hello, Sprite, Liz, Jai and everyone :-).....diving back to the grid.

1:39 am

Lizlin

Hi Zooz :)

1:39 am

sprite

*hugs zooz* Hello dear man, how are you and your parents doing?

1:40 am

jaianniah

I mean... sometimes, I wonder. If I was Dr. God or whoever, if I would be able to see a word list like this one and be able to post it without feeling sadistic....haha!

1:40 am

sprite

what about Kam?

1:41 am

zoozzoom

I am well..Mother not so good..Father hanging on in there lol. Sorry you have the flu, Sprite. hope it goes as quick as possible.

1:42 am

Lizlin

Sorry that your mother's struggling, Zooz.

1:42 am

sprite

thanks zooz. Sorry to hear about your Mother. Best wishes for her health.

1:42 am

zoozzoom

Many thanks :-)

1:42 am

jaianniah

I am really worried for Kam. Have not seen her here. As I said, we had 18 inches of rain yesterday and friends of ours in Benton, PA, lost just about everything yesterday due to flooding. So West coast burns, and East coast gets flash flooded to death....

1:42 am

sprite

drJ never checks the word lists, jai, lol. Most of babble is automated.

1:43 am

Lizlin

Hope Kam is OK. Time for me to go. Half the grid completed. Can't say I like it! BBL. Hugs

1:43 am

jaianniah

I know...

1:44 am

jaianniah

Bye, Liz. See ya later. If I don't float away first....

1:44 am

Lizlin

Stay safe.

1:44 am

jaianniah

Always.

1:45 am

sprite

she seems to be online, jai.

1:45 am

sprite

bye Liz, have a lovely evening and a peaceful night

1:45 am

jaianniah

Actually, my biggest problem is all the mold in the air. Our mold has mold....

1:45 am

sprite

ugh, that is nasty

1:45 am

jaianniah

Maybe she'll pop in and update....

1:47 am

jaianniah

Yes. I have never had such bad allergies in my life. I feel dreadful, but am not sick. It's weird. And feel awful for complaining while others are losing homes and lives.

1:48 am

sprite

others' suffering does not lessen yours any, jai. Feel free to vent, and I for one will take you seriously. Allergies are nasty.

1:49 am

jaianniah

My ears itch inside.

1:49 am

jaianniah

Lol

1:50 am

sprite

arrrrgggghhh I know that feeling! Trust me, using a knitting needle is NOT the way to go

1:51 am

Kamanjah

I'm ok, closest fire is 50 miles away. I always have babble open along with 4 other permanent tabs that I use every day. So, I guess it looks like I'm always here, lol!

1:51 am

1:52 am

1:54 am

sprite

*hugs rose* How are you today, darling? Did you sleep like a baby last night?

1:54 am

zoozzoom

1:54 am

melonheadjujube

I heard about the PA floods. Scary!

1:54 am

grannyrose

1:55 am

Kamanjah

Sprite, no he didn't come home. Dad has to go to eye doc now, he failed vision test. Hopefully hubby will be back tomorrow.
Sorry to hear you have flu, that sucks!

i could never get into sudoku i find it frustrating more so then this lol

2:23 pm

montreal13

i complete most babble grids zooz...but rarely do the same for sudokus...luckily, we have the archives to work them at our leisure â˜º

2:24 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I like that about sudoku. Nice when the babble grid size is very small. I too try and finish the babble grids each day. Did take almost two years off at one point though.

2:25 pm

montreal13

i had a 6-year hiatus with sudokus....then i was waaaaayyy behind...

2:28 pm

zoozzoom

Oh with sudoku I played it just now and again so like you had plenty to catch up on. But I am still way behind. Babble first for me then sudoku. Good on you for catching all those years up though! That took a lot of time and dedication to do!

2:31 pm

montreal13

Babble comes first for me too and you're right, it takes a determined effort to catch up: i'm on my third such effort...that means i've already failed twice to catch up lol

2:32 pm

zoozzoom

Ah but once you are there you will only have one puzzle to do each day!

2:33 pm

montreal13

that's right...some day...un jour...un dia...maybe this year...

I watched my husband play sodoku for 3 years (I used the newspaper method) and thought "what a time wasting event!" Next I played and did not like being 3 years behind my husband in scoring so of course I payed the fee and once in a while I get behind when we are someplace without wifi - but I always catchup. Sometime with in the year I just "looked" at babble. Now babble is first and I try to learn at least one new word every day. Kudos to those that have had babble fun for years.

2:43 pm

montreal13

nice cig47 ! i have been a babble addict for years ...and only now am catching up with sudokus - welcome to babble !

The beautiful purple mineral in this puzzle, the io6, is one of my favorites, It exhibits pleocrism, which means it loses color when turned 90 degrees.

When I first started playing Babble , 7-8 yrs ago, I would make a note of words that everyone called babblets. I had them all in a little notebook. We moved about a year ago and I am still unpacking and tossing. I just started playing again in the last few months and I cannot find my list of Babblets!! It must still be in a box somewshere. But many of them are coming back to me in memory just from playing ; )

5:48 pm

The history of chocolate begins in Mesoamerica. Fermented beverages made from chocolate date back to 350 BC. The Aztecs believed that cacao seeds were the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom, and the seeds once had so much value that they were used as a form of currency.
