ellenin

ok, I don't get it. Other than an re7 word, none of the others appear to be here. what's up?

12:13 am

hurshy

hello, ellenin. are you newish?

12:13 am

ellenin

yes

12:13 am

ellenin

hello, hurshy

12:14 am

hurshy

then probably what's up is that while you thought you were a person who knew pretty much the whole language, as i was when first i became a babbler, lo these many years ago, in reality we none of us realize how many obscure words exist beyond our ken

12:15 am

ellenin

I am an English major, so I am fully aware that I do NOT know all of the words in the English language.

12:15 am

hurshy

we get a lot of real weird ones here

12:15 am

hurshy

we call them babblets

12:16 am

Rainiqui

megaweird

12:16 am

ellenin

Ok, that's good to know. Thank you.

12:16 am

hurshy

1.21 gigawatts weird

12:16 am

ellenin

lol

12:16 am

Rainiqui

atomic weird

12:17 am

hurshy

it may have made us a little weird as a result

12:17 am

SamanthaJoy

And some of them you almost certainly know but just haven't seen yet. I have some that have been listed, so I know for sure they're there.

12:17 am

Rainiqui

we are weird

12:17 am

Rainiqui

and wired

12:18 am

dfmchfhf

especially when some babblers may or may not try incorporating them in out-of-babble contexts

12:19 am

hurshy

for instance - it's not here today, but teiid is a word.

12:19 am

gapeach

go-7

12:19 am

hurshy

"c'mon hursh, you're pulling my leg," you might be saying

12:20 am

hurshy

but i am no leg-puller.

12:20 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:20 am

SamanthaJoy

The Official Phantom of the Day is "Estrogen"

12:21 am

hurshy

speaking of which, my sister said pregesterone today and i didn't have the heart to correct her

12:21 am

gapeach

ho-7

12:21 am

hurshy

that just shows you how overworked and tired i am

12:22 am

dfmchfhf

also thought the phantom was "tough"... must have tried it five times already

12:22 am

hurshy

but there's no u

12:22 am

RoundBarn

I'm seldom on at the flip, but when I am I notice y'all go for the 7's--why? and the biggies.

12:23 am

dfmchfhf

looking for shorter words too, the long ones just come as a consequence?

12:23 am

gapeach

ho-8

12:23 am

hurshy

back in the day, we didn't get a list til much later in the day (and even further back, no lists at all) so people have always had a tradition of sort of jointly compiling a list of the big ones to help each other out

12:24 am

SamanthaJoy

We mention them mostly to help other players, and a little bit for bragging rights if we find them first

12:24 am

RoundBarn

thanks for the info--what happe3ned to our new person with the tolkienesque name?

12:24 am

dfmchfhf

huh, thought it was just for bragging rights...

12:24 am

hurshy

bragging!? i'm appalled

12:25 am

dfmchfhf

ha8

12:25 am

hurshy

we don't call every word we find cause that would be chaos

12:27 am

RoundBarn

I like your profile, Hurshy--I've been in England a lot and my first child was born there. I usually lurk and watch people.

12:27 am

hurshy

i's incinerated

12:27 am

dfmchfhf

di7,8

12:28 am

RoundBarn

for instance, we had a very bright 14 year old awhile back--she gave up on us--

12:28 am

hurshy

you mean my friend bex?

12:29 am

SamanthaJoy

I think he means Hannah

12:29 am

SamanthaJoy

Er, she. Sorry.

12:30 am

hurshy

must have missed hannah

12:30 am

RoundBarn

yes, I mean Hannah. Some weren't very nice to her.

12:30 am

hurshy

:(

12:31 am

dfmchfhf

:(

12:31 am

cybernan

she turned out to be a troll, roundbarn

12:31 am

SamanthaJoy

Hannah was weird, I grant you. But the people who were unkind to her are basically that mean to nearly everybody.

12:31 am

RoundBarn

and there was a 12 year old boy, doing nicely. He vanished.

12:32 am

gapeach

ho7 x 3

12:32 am

dfmchfhf

the younger ones tend to vanish due to schedule/school/work changes... disappeared for a good number of years here too

12:32 am

RoundBarn

She didn't seem a troll--how could you tell? Ru dispatched a troll rapidly a few weeks back. I wondered how he knew.

12:32 am

cybernan

hannah was a troll -- multiple accounts and a very foul mouth after she was called on it

12:32 am

hurshy

we also had a kid who went by the name of scribble once. i liked scribble. we shared a love of fruit salad.

12:32 am

Rainiqui

th 7 and 8

12:33 am

dfmchfhf

why do people even troll here...

12:33 am

SamanthaJoy

Beats me

12:34 am

ellenin

Need attention, perhaps? They're bored?

12:34 am

ellenin

site

12:34 am

harpjane

hello

12:34 am

ellenin

Gah! I apologize, wrong box again. Facepalm.

12:34 am

Rainiqui

anybody called tr 7 and 8 ?

12:35 am

SamanthaJoy

Next time could you make it a word I don't already have? ;)

12:35 am

dianedecoder

I would like to know who proves they are trolls. I don't chat much but I do read much of the chat, and I certainly know the personalities of many in here. I agree with you, Samantha Joy. Hannah was very different, VERY smart, if indeed she was a youngster, but I never saw one instance of disrespect.

12:35 am

SamanthaJoy

Not that I've seen, Rain

12:36 am

RoundBarn

I've just learned a lot. thanks. we have an extra hour, but goodnight. If anybody wants to know me, read my books--see roundbarnstories.com. and jacqueline.jackson.com if I remember correctly. (I write well but don't publicize well.)

12:36 am

gapeach

Haven't seen it, Rain. Thanks

12:37 am

SamanthaJoy

Hannah admitted to being the weird people who were in here asking about her, too. She had multiple profiles and would come in asking about "Hannah" to see what we would say about her. Very odd.

12:37 am

Rainiqui

Thanks all

12:38 am

SamanthaJoy

Of course, some of that may have been insecurity since some were so very unwelcoming to begin with. But mostly it was just odd.

12:38 am

harpjane

found an ungulate

12:40 am

dianedecoder

Okay, I agree .....she was a "slight" troll, needing attention but not causing any problems. My whole point is,....she was not cruel or disrespectful.....but she sure could talk !!

12:40 am

SamanthaJoy

To whoever found the nine : THANK YOU!

12:40 am

harpjane

nbt

12:41 am

hurshy

the definition of "troll" may be imprecise

12:41 am

SamanthaJoy

I agree, Diane

12:42 am

hurshy

if that t were a p we could have diaspora

12:43 am

12:52 am

SamanthaJoy

:D

12:55 am

cybernan

not finding it -- tomorow's another day :) We may be falling back, but that doesn't mean I can stay awake any longer.

12:55 am

cybernan

* good night everyone

12:55 am

hurshy

OMB that's so freaky cnan

12:56 am

SamanthaJoy

'Night, nan

12:56 am

12:56 am

The only daughter of Ravi Shankar I know isn't even close to being in the grid. You may have to enlighten me.

Ugh! I hate my hands. Facepalm.

1:02 am

hurshy

1:02 am

ellenin

Yes.

1:03 am

SamanthaJoy

Mind = Blown

1:03 am

hurshy

i still haven't the faintest idea what to do for that es8

1:03 am

hurshy

i mean es9

1:03 am

SamanthaJoy

It's both. The 9 is a plural.

1:04 am

SamanthaJoy

It's similar to the word I named as The Official Phantom

1:04 am

hurshy

hmm, i kinda tried that

1:05 am

SamanthaJoy

Try switching out vowels

1:05 am

hurshy

ahhh. i had, but not ENOUGH vowel swapping.

1:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Congratulations!

1:06 am

hurshy

thanks very much for the help

1:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Always happy to help you out

1:51 am

sprite

I think so, yes

1:54 am

doseffing

... sorry ... just checked Wikipedia ... it was someone named Alan Laine ... Chill Wills was the voice of Francis the Talking Mule in the movies ... ... but it is an amazing list of names associated with the Mr. Ed Show ...

1:54 am

2:21 am

sprite

*hugs peach* How are you doing?

2:23 am

gapeach

Oh, sprite.....I shouldn't complain....but this darn arthritis is giving me fits. When the cold hit it just nearly drove me crazy. Even typing hurts. But I shall keep on keeping on. Hugs, honey.

2:24 am

sprite

*hugs right back at ya* So sorry to hear. You have every right and reason to vent here, never doubt it. Pain is draining and arthritis is so very painful.

2:26 am

gapeach

I'm enjoying this grid.....that sounds a little "sick" doesn't it.

2:27 am

sprite

nah it is a lovely grid. I enjoyed it tremendously. Fireflies!

2:29 am

sprite

I hope your pain will settle a little soon, peach.

origami

Miss you guys too!

4:24 pm

Hopefully this doesn't mean you are going to disappear again for months, making people wonder if you have been abducted by aliens.

4:31 pm

TraderKate

I have been abdicted for days at a time lately, but not months ;)
I was in red box hell today because of connection issues (I'm back on wifi again.. the ethernet connection and router/signal booster landlord aid $$$$ for stopp[ped working after 3 weeks... *sigh*

If PC dies again for any real length of time , I will go to library and post so folks know...
alien abduction maybe more enjoyable than an unreliable wifi connection ;)

4:42 pm

TraderKate

Lurker challenge:
Will one of you be brave say hello?

5:11 pm

JenMO16

I am!

5:12 pm

JenMO16

I see the word strong and it is not conneted!

5:12 pm

TraderKate

still think resit and resat should be words - considering some of the words that are int the dictionary ;)

5:12 pm

dcseain

i just tried strong myself

5:17 pm

TraderKate

put your HA4 in the HA4 of the man that stillled the water...put your HA4 in the HA4 of the man that calmed the sea

5:21 pm

gapeach

Hi there, Jen.

5:21 pm

gapeach

Hey there, Kate

5:21 pm

TraderKate

5:21 pm

JenMO16

gons

5:22 pm

TraderKate

NIcce to see you peach-!

5:22 pm

JenMO16

I am only finding 4 and 5 letter words!

5:23 pm

TraderKate

Lots of the smaller ones will grow big and strong with TLC Jen ;)

5:23 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, Kate. That was the last word for this grid.

5:24 pm

gapeach

And how are things going with you?

5:24 pm

TraderKate

You're finished? Congratulations Peachie!!!!!

5:24 pm

gapeach

Thanks, hon.

5:25 pm

TraderKate

What's the good word down your way peach? Nice weather, fun Hallowe'en?

5:28 pm

gapeach

Kate, the weather is really weird. Have the heat on part of the day and air the other part. Halloween was really quiet...not one treater. I think the parents are taking the children to parties or sponsored events where they can get treats. I do think it is for the best....due to all the bad stuff that has been happening. Wasn't that way when I was a youngster.

5:28 pm

TraderKate

NOt much h appening up here - we had decent weather for the trick or treaters and much needed blue skies today )

5:30 pm

gapeach

Due you really think it is due to climate change? I just don't know.

5:30 pm

TraderKate

It is a shame that a lot of kids don't get to experience the utter joy of a good Halloween "rampage" - I loved it when I was young! ;)

5:31 pm

gapeach

Yes, I did too.

5:32 pm

gapeach

Well, 'm dears I think I'll see if there's anything worth watching onTV. Blessings all.

5:33 pm

TraderKate

Yes, I do think it's climate change... too much info to discount it at this point I thnk. Our weather has been markedly changed - even accounting for the minor cycles within the larger historical ones.. things are moving too quickly.. and that is part of it - once the warming - OR cooling cycles start, they are self-feeding and the pace speeds up. What we are seein now is literally unrecedented... so sad to see. Ihope we can get it fixed.. gonna take generations.

5:34 pm

TraderKate

60 minutes on soon...
PBS is usually good on Sunday nights too

5:34 pm

gapeach

I do believe you are right. Have you finished the grid? Need any clues?

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

these large grids tax my aging tablet

5:35 pm

gapeach

Hi there, TO.

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:36 pm

TraderKate

5:41 pm

5:43 pm

JenMO16

I need to get rid of some keys on my keyboard!

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's that time of the evening where it gets chilly. brrr

5:46 pm

TraderKate

:D
I need a new right hand... damaged the nerve at the elbow (funny bone nerve to be medically accurate) and middle to baby finger are completely numb..index finger is also not behaving well - so typing is even worse than usual

5:46 pm

JenMO16

Okay, I have some empathy here.

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

been working an hour and a half

5:47 pm

TraderKate

It's getting to the time of year where us northerners get teeth chattering because "it's too early to put the furnace on"... ;)

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh the furnac has been on here. i am too hol to sit in the cold. i love the hot weather.

5:48 pm

JenMO16

Mickey Mouse is on tonight!

5:48 pm

TraderKate

MIckey Mouse??? where, when???

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's mickey's 90th birthday.

5:49 pm

TraderKate

surprised my landlord has had the heat on regularly.. last year we were well into November before he fired it up!

5:49 pm

JenMO16

Yes ut us!

5:49 pm

JenMO16

Comes on at 7 PM CST.

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

are there no laws? here i think it has to be on by 15 october.

5:50 pm

TraderKate

See what you miss when FB isn't behaving? Mickey's 90th! wowo... is that from the first Steamboat Willie?

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i would think so

5:51 pm

TraderKate

yes, there are laws TO, but I have a gas stove, so if I am chilly, I can jsut fire u a couple burners - fan in living room makes the whole place toasty in no time. He's a great landlord in so many ways... and he did tell me to tell him if I was cold...

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i though this extra hour was supposed to make us all feel rested.

5:52 pm

TraderKate

Oh - I saw an ad for PBS Teh Sound of Music might be tonight -but NOT "THE" sound of Music.... I dunno about that... ;)

5:53 pm

TraderKate

what channel Jen?

5:54 pm

JenMO16

ABC station

5:55 pm

TraderKate

Just found it.. channel 7 here (rarely watch it any more...) followed by the Alec Baldwin show???? hmmm

5:56 pm

JenMO16

That show is supposed to gone! Or at least it was getting low ratings.

5:57 pm

TraderKate

Never even heard of it.... BUT it runs opposite NCIS Los Angeles... so no wonder... bad time slot for a show that might be worth olooking into.

5:58 pm

JenMO16

I watch the station TLC quite a bit. Unexpected is about teenage moms and their boyfriends in real life.

6:00 pm

JenMO16

They also have quite a few "real" family shows, the ones that have sextuplets, and special needs families like "The Little Couple".

6:00 pm

TraderKate

Lots of reality on there now... when TLC first started out, I watched a lot of it - but it was "The Learning Channel" then.. lots of good dino shows, history etc. I son't have cable now, so don't see it at all

6:01 pm

TraderKate

It seems that lots of stuff I would like to watch is all now on special extra money tiers/choices for cable. If my wifi and ancient PC were better, I would look into Netflix or something like that...

6:03 pm

TraderKate

Did hear about one shoe about ladies who didn't realise they were pregnant until they were in labour... hard to believe there are enough of them uut there to support a series that has been running for (years?)

6:06 pm

JenMO16

Yeah, I have seen those, I haven't seen them for quite some time.

6:15 pm

JenMO16

geez, I can't see the simple words! My eyes must be tired.

6:18 pm

TraderKate

It's early - take a 15 minute break Jen... it works !

6:19 pm

JenMO16

May I friend you on face book, Kate? I see your name in your profile.

6:21 pm

TraderKate

Sure Jen... all are welcome!...
profile pic is me in a bright red sweater - you can't miss it.. and if you have other babbler friends you can find me that way too... Kate Skinner Fort Erie, Ontario

6:22 pm

JenMO16

Thanks! BRB!

6:25 pm

JenMO16

friend request sent!

6:31 pm

TraderKate

Friend request accepted! Welcome to my wall. Be fearless Jen. I have friends from almost every walk of life...an interesting bunch and I love 'em all - even my pet trolls <3

6:32 pm

JenMO16

*smiles* I !

6:33 pm

JenMO16

Got the 8/9 combo!

6:35 pm

TraderKate

WOOOT! :)

6:36 pm

JenMO16

Course you know I started listing a long time ago!

6:36 pm

JenMO16

every once in a while I will see a word I don't have!

6:36 pm

TraderKate

Can't stand on pride when the clock is ticking... I rarely finish without listing :)

7:16 pm

Trifioso

hello friends

7:17 pm

TraderKate

TRIFIOSO!!!!!!!! <3 :D

7:17 pm

Trifioso

hi friend!!!!

7:17 pm

Trifioso

in really really tired, so just half braining it here

7:17 pm

TraderKate

It's been far too long... don't tell me you have a real LIFE and don't have time for Babble these days.. or have I jsut been passing you in the night?

7:18 pm

Trifioso

i babble at weird times, for sure

7:18 pm

JenMO16

hi trif!

7:18 pm

TraderKate

poor thing - why so tired Trif?

7:19 pm

Trifioso

i have another side gig, that i am really enjoying, making costumes for a local high school drama department, but I was up til 4 last night grinding things out, as the play is in two weeks

7:20 pm

TraderKate

Oh... the time crunch is on! BUT... what a cool side job... how'd you manage to score that? Bet you're having fun!

7:20 pm

TraderKate

...and what is the production?

7:21 pm

Trifioso

thanks, I am mostly loving it - Mamma Mia, so it's a sequin fueled frenzy in my dining room cum sewing room right now

7:23 pm

TraderKate

What fun!!! You'll be vacuuming up sequins up with the pine needles in January though... hahaha... do you use the "cheater' sequins that are long strings of them all attatched? Time saver...

7:24 pm

TraderKate

So... if you had one of those bejeweled dazzlers you'd be right in the swing! ;)

7:27 pm

Trifioso

no cheating here! Hand placing sequins for hours.....one of the challenges of this job is that they have never had an adult costume supervisor before, and the young lady who VERY much considers herself "head of costumes" somehow doesn't get that I am a) older and b) know what the hell I am doing. Listening to her give me lectures on how there are two kinds of scissors, one for ONLY paper and one for ONLY fabric, and her asking me if I know how to adapt a pattern has been....interesting, to say the LEAST

7:28 pm

Trifioso

I should win an award for holding my tongue as long as I have!

7:29 pm

Trifioso

meanwhile, her royal highness has constructed exactly ZERO costumes

7:30 pm

ellenin

hello all. clue for gh4/7 please? thanks!

Uneaixoise

Trisha Yearwood's hubby is in the grid! :-)

7:35 pm

Trifioso

oh! So he is!

7:39 pm

Trifioso

I find it so strange that resit and resat are not enable accepted words. We say those words all the time at school, regarding exams - they resat them, they need to resit them....

7:41 pm

dcseain

8:12 pm

Trifioso

8:13 pm

TraderKate

8:13 pm

TraderKate

Trif.... commiserations - jsut reading the chog - you have the patience of a saint.. I would have given her the sharp side of my tongue - whuich cuts fabric, paper and skin ;)

8:18 pm

JenMO16

Didn't mean to sound crude.

8:21 pm

TraderKate

Oh - I see Jen... I did a quick run down some of your posts.. we have the cross-stitch world in common, though I don't go to it often.. am almost out of coins" for patterns. I did save a few pics that might be good to make into patterns..but haven't tried loading my own pictures yet.
I wa afraid that FB may have sent yo a bunch of my posts from recent days since we just became friends.. who knows what FB does any more?.... It's all good..and you didn't sound crude! <3

8:22 pm

JenMO16

I haven't even seen your wall yet! I am still working on this puzzle-43 left

8:23 pm

TraderKate

Blessed be the peacemakers Trif.... it's hard when you step in and usurp "the queen's" position.... ruffled feathers - or sequins as the case may be... ;)

8:25 pm

TraderKate

Go go Jen!
I have had connection issues lately Jen.. and in the last year I hvave started posting a lot more than I used to .. and not nearly as many jokes and cute critter videos as I used to... for your sanity, you may wish to "unfollowA" - BUT there are some pretty darn good didcusssions on my wall at times - I have such a great bucnh of friends <3

my right hand is pretty numb...makes it even worse because I am not hitting the keys hard enough - especially O and P...

10:39 pm

Pinikula

uh oh

10:39 pm

TraderKate

this too wil pass... no biggie; just an annoyance

10:41 pm

Pinikula

always good to keep your chin up :)

10:41 pm

Nef

Did you do something different to it lately, Kate?

10:42 pm

Nef

Numbness sounds like if might be a nerve thing (leaning on it while scrubbing floors on your hands & knees can cause a temporary numb feeling in your hands....

10:44 pm

Pinikula

been there, done that, Nef...it's definitely a weird feeling!

10:47 pm

Nef

Yeah, me too. It kind of teaches you not to lean over it so far (or stop doing too much hard core cleaning)

10:48 pm

TraderKate

It is a nerve thing Nef, but didn't talk to doc about it when I was in recently - thnk it's the "funny bone" nerve just below the elbow... I am just trying to baby it and ibuprofen or meloxicam... see if that helps...middle finger - baby finger "work" but a re numb... index finger isn't good either. Think it's because the right arm is resting on the edge of the table for mouse and keyboard - table too high for keyboard work... I should get an etbow thngy and see if that helps it heal.

10:50 pm

TraderKate

No scrubbing floors - JUST got over nasty back spasms since June... it's bad enough that I have troubleopening things like jars and pill bottles - can't grasp a hari clip to pin up my hair... good thng I'm a little bit ambidextretrous...

10:51 pm

Nef

So sort of like a carpel tunnel at the elbow then

10:51 pm

TraderKate

I'd be happy to just get the dishes washed at this point... floors? ahahahah

10:52 pm

TraderKate

That's my guess Nef... it may not actually be coming from the elbow at all - just a hunch...but it came on suddenly with no known direct injury to hand/arm elbow...

10:55 pm

Pinikula

I hope you feel better, TK...

10:55 pm

Pinikula

I've gotta call it a night with 100 to go. Early start at work tomorrow to complete a slew of interviews...wish me luck - hopefully, I'll find someone worth extending an offer to!

10:55 pm

TraderKate

TY Pini... I'm sure it is a transient thing. more of a major annouance than anyting else. NO pain.

10:56 pm

Pinikula

Good to hear no pain involved, TK...just take it easy!

10:56 pm

Pinikula

Take care all...

10:57 pm

TraderKate

10:57 pm

Nef
