12:20 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:20 am

meansmoon

there's got to be more to this game than just making words

12:21 am

hurshy

you are looking for words. if you've played boggle, it's like that. you can twist any direction, but not use the same tile twice within a word.

12:21 am

meansmoon

where are clues

12:21 am

hurshy

clues are here in the chat, we give them to each other

12:22 am

rbud

and lickety's, look down below the letter grid for a link.

12:23 am

hurshy

only finding one O... blerg

12:24 am

hurshy

aha, two.

12:25 am

cybernan

12:33 am

12:33 am

mkg

12:34 am

mkg

i have only one o also. hard

12:34 am

cybernan

12:35 am

cybernan

12:35 am

rbud

I just found oo 6! o's over with, ha!

12:37 am

rbud

(with a whim and morewords, heehee)

12:38 am

rbud

apparently a variant spelling of an Eskimo boat?

12:39 am

cybernan

thought they use kayaks

12:41 am

cybernan

time to head out -- good night everyone :)

12:41 am

rbud

ends with the same sound, made me think of kayak

1:08 am

sprite

good morning all

1:08 am

hurshy

the cr7 is weird

1:08 am

hurshy

i monkeyed it by accident

1:08 am

hurshy

is based on a normal cr5

1:11 am

grannyrose

good morning dearest one {{{{sprite}}}}

1:11 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend! Great to see you. How was your day?

1:12 am

grannyrose

hey ya hurshy

1:12 am

hurshy

hey

1:12 am

rbud

I found that one, but am yet to find any other 7's, as no one gave clues for any more, and I'm still not looking at lickety

1:12 am

hurshy

same here

1:12 am

grannyrose

a gogish day. no hip pain, thank-you. but still sleepy/tired. luncheon went well.

1:13 am

grannyrose

ugh...*goodish*

1:13 am

sprite

well done, honey. And yeah, sleepy of course... that darn stuff has to leave your body yet. I am still recovering from it all, lol.

1:14 am

grannyrose

did you have a good night, honey?

1:16 am

grannyrose

my poor neighbour has just been diagnosed with short-term memory loss. it wasn't a big deal to me, i could tolerate her repeating herself. but apparently she 'knew' something was wrong and she was very depressed. now she going to go through all the pathology stuff.

1:16 am

sprite

okayish. Still getting used to the soft cast. Much more movement possible, which is good, but also painful. Especially side-to-side movements that require the long screw taken out, which is not the case yet, lol

1:17 am

rbud

aha! found a co 7

1:17 am

hurshy

another one?

1:17 am

grannyrose

yay rbud

1:18 am

sprite

how old is she, rose?

1:19 am

grannyrose

in her seventies. i have told her if the pathology is all okay i will walk the support group pathway with her.

1:19 am

rbud

why, did someone call one? all I saw was cr 7 before, I thought.

1:20 am

sprite

I apologise if I am wrong... but isn't short term memory loss relatively normal at that age?

1:20 am

grannyrose

she is fiercely independent. i have quietly told her she may need the group support.

1:20 am

hurshy

both co7 (normal word) and my cr7 (weird) were called

1:20 am

sprite

lickety is up, guys, and some of us would love to find the biggies by themselves.

1:21 am

rbud

oh, I only have those two. shucks, thought I came up with something new, da**it! ;)

1:21 am

grannyrose

sort of sprite. some people go right through to their nineties and more, as alert as when they wer fifty.

1:21 am

hurshy

well sprite, others of us consider lickety not fun because it's computer-driven help, whereas working with each other is human-only

1:21 am

sprite

yes I know that, but quite a few don't, at least here.

1:22 am

rbud

well, I'm not much help, anyway, all this time and still just half the 7's - a tough lil grid, for me.

1:22 am

hurshy

i want to find one more L word and then quit

1:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, honey, if you want to go lurker, it's okay. i will be waiting for you when you are finished.

1:23 am

hurshy

i thought the plurl of litmus test would be litmi but no such luck. i guess it's really only an adjective?

1:24 am

sprite

I know that, hursh. It is rather vexing for me, though. I have changed my babble time from fliptime to now just because the whole clue fest. This used to be a challenging game where you could choose to have help or do it by yourself. Now it seems it is impossible to play without getting help forced on you.

1:25 am

hurshy

i know - it was probably a better system when there was a moratorium on cluing for the first hour or so after the flip

1:25 am

hurshy

but then some people just ignored that so it was hard to maintain :(

1:26 am

rbud

I miss the whole clue fest. Everyone pitched in, and there were lots of folks. now it just fades out in no time. I often wish Lickety didn't show up till much later, not that I'm not grateful.

1:26 am

sprite

yes it was. And more and more people feel like it doesn't matter that some babblers really want to work the grid without any help. No improvement, to me anyway.

1:26 am

hurshy

the Ls should not be this hard, they HAVE to be li, it's in the corner, i should be able to get them!!!!

1:28 am

sprite

lickety is optional. You can either use his help or not. The clueing in the chat is not, it is impossible to ignore it unless you hide the whole chat and miss out on touching base with your babble friends.

1:30 am

hurshy

ugh i think i am going to fail in my goal of finding one more L

1:30 am

hurshy

i really should get to sleep

1:31 am

rbud

as I recall, it seems you two used to chat at least an hour or more later than now, like at 2:30 or 3:00 chog time. This is barely an hour and a half past flip. is that due to daylight savings time, I wonder?

1:32 am

sprite

probably, rbud. We moved to DST last weekend here. But most of the year I play an hour after the flip.

1:32 am

hurshy

OH I GOT ANOTHER L WOOOHOOOOO *subtly pokes rbud*

1:32 am

rbud

I have 5 l's, but can

1:32 am

rbud

't say which, haha

1:33 am

hurshy

yes but i'm SUBTLY POKING you

1:33 am

hurshy

for a reason

1:33 am

sprite

and to avoid misunderstanding, I do not object to the occasional nudge at any time. Just the habitual calling of all biggies, or the listing of whole letters.

1:34 am

hurshy

i wonder if Mordoc has been used in sci fi as a name for an alien species or an individual alien. sure sounds like it should be.

1:34 am

rbud

bet I can guess. But you know, I do miss folks like volleymom, truly amazing to watch her work a grid, what a mind.

1:35 am

hurshy

i miss lots of people who used to play when i first joined babble

1:35 am

hurshy

smeltzdog, lola, anj

1:35 am

grannyrose

mordoc...isn't that what a patient might say to their medic?

1:36 am

hurshy

i think vicuna and mab still play a little but not chat much

1:36 am

hurshy

and atalante and haz

1:36 am

hurshy

unless i'm just not on when they're on

1:36 am

sprite

atalante, haz and many others. Some of them stopped because of nastiness in the chat, others because of the shifting from a challenging game to something with way too much unwanted help.

1:36 am

grannyrose

certain people chased our dear volleydee out of open babble...thanks for nothing i say.

1:36 am

rbud

and dart, who patiently explained how to work four useful letters in a square so many times it finally sank in.

1:37 am

hurshy

and bex i guess just outgrew us :(

1:38 am

sprite

and jilli and FMitch, who passed away.

1:38 am

hurshy

well anyway, i really should go. goodnight all!

1:39 am

sprite

night hursh

1:39 am

grannyrose

sweetest of dreams dear hurshy. xoxox

1:40 am

sprite

chat used to be for the social side of the game. Now, it is more important to call biggies first that it is to greet eachother and chat. Sometimes I wish we could have an old school babble game without any help available at all, next to the game we have now.

1:41 am

sprite

than*, not that

1:45 am

rbud

I didn't mind the one-hour non-cluing period, myself. But I was happy to see clues after that. My line is just drawn at using lickety before I absolutely have to. That's what makes it fun for me. Community effort.

1:46 am

rbud

got all the L's at last.

1:47 am

rbud

and all the 7's.

1:47 am

grannyrose

yay rbud.

1:48 am

grannyrose

does anyone care that my butt is doing it's best to kill me. no hip pain, but it seems the procedure has stirred up the sciatic nerve in the left gluteus.

1:48 am

sprite

I played long before you came here, I think, rbud. We didn't have any help. And giving biggies or clues without being asked was not appreciated. Over the years, there has been a huge shift from babble being a challenge to dummying it down to filling in the blanks. I find that not progress. But it seems I am one of the very few who thinks so and still wants to chat. The rest has stopped being part of the community.

1:50 am

sprite

*gently pats rose's butt* there, there. Nasty thing, that kinda pain.

1:50 am

grannyrose

i think i am 50-50 on this discussion. as you know, as we all are, i am a vocab/word fanatic. love words, their roots, meanings etc. i hate to be thwarted by any word. i do not use lickety until i absolutely must.

1:51 am

rururocks

Death by ass. Would be somethin!

1:51 am

grannyrose

lollll ruru... you are so good.

1:52 am

sprite

heinie byebye

1:52 am

sprite

*hugs ru* How are you doing?

1:52 am

rururocks

I mean i am not ready to go butt i would take a crack at it

1:52 am

grannyrose

vertical or horizontal?

1:53 am

sprite

well, it is not the existence of lickety that bugs me, rose. I think he provides a wonderful service to us all. But we can choose not to look at his clues. Not looking at the chat and still be part of this community is not possible.

1:53 am

grannyrose

ruru, did you see me in chat the other night? i was flying with a MAJOR case of the giggles. the nurses had the strait jacket out.

1:53 am

sprite

lol! Gives a whole new meaning to Your ass is grass.

1:54 am

sprite

rose was high as a kite and drunk to boot :D

1:54 am

rururocks

Agree sprite. The cluing here is completely out of control

1:54 am

sprite

glad to hear I am not the only one, ru

1:54 am

rururocks

No i missed that one rose

1:55 am

grannyrose

i wasn't drunk... yet... there was no ice... i kept telling you... it was a conspiracy..

1:55 am

sprite

hehehe and yelling at us... it was hilarious

1:57 am

rururocks

And i agree with rbud volleymom is incredible

1:57 am

rururocks

What a brain

1:58 am

sprite

dee is a great player but she stopped chatting a lot after she was treated badly in chat for having another political opinion than the rest.

1:59 am

sprite

wow, tight little grid this is

1:59 am

grannyrose

yeah, that night made me want to weep. they called her for everything under the sun. and i thought America was the home of the free

2:00 am

rururocks

Boy i sure donâ€™t remember people attacking her

2:01 am

sprite

people often have trouble respecting somebody who has a different opinion. Such a shame. And being vile to another babbler is never ever called for.

2:01 am

grannyrose

they did ruru. they did. in a major way. that beautiful woman was cut to the core.

2:01 am

sprite

they did, ru, in a horrible way. Just because she was pro Trump.

2:01 am

rbud

glad I missed it, enough of that goes on elsewhere. who would ever be so mean? Never mind, I'd rather not know.

2:02 am

sprite

not naming names, that would not be helpful I think.

2:03 am

rbud

think it was while I was living in the hospital with Hubs for three months. she was just gone when we got out, and I gathered the reason eventually.

2:03 am

grannyrose

no sprite, not helpful. but we know, and they know..

2:03 am

rururocks

I mean that I donâ€™t understand why a woman would vote for that monster but u canâ€™t beat someone up about it

2:03 am

sprite

yes I think so too, rbud. Not an easy time for you at all.

2:04 am

sprite

that is what I mean, ru. It is totally okay to not agree or to not being able to understand someone's choice. But totally wrong to be nasty about it.

2:05 am

grannyrose

lolll.... i have a t-shirt... it says... don't blame me. i voted for the other party... makes people think...

2:06 am

sprite

lol rose

2:06 am

grannyrose

and i never enlighten them either, even when questioned.

2:07 am

rururocks

Night you guys

2:07 am

sprite

I have seen a Tshirt I want... it says: "I'm with stupid" and an arrow that points to the person I walk next to.

2:08 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams ruru. have a good one.

2:08 am

sprite

night night ru, sweet dreams *hug*

2:10 am

sprite

also another one, with a lovely little devil on it that says: "God is busy, can I help you?"

2:10 am

grannyrose

*giggle* love it

2:13 am

grannyrose

i have a i killed kenny t-shirt...

2:13 am

sprite

ohhhhhh

2:13 am

sprite

:D

2:14 am

grannyrose

oh and a marvin the martian t-shirt.

2:16 am

rbud

Hubby was the t-shirt nut here, a couple of favorites said "Bad Example" and "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand."

2:16 am

sprite

that is awesome. If I manage to lose some weight after this whole ankle episode, I will treat myself to a couple of crazy T-shirts. I also want one that says: "I finally found out what is wrong with my brain. On the right side, nothing is left. On the left side, nothing is right."

2:16 am

sprite

oh LOL rbud, great ones!

2:16 am

grannyrose

awesome sprite... rbud, rofloll, love 'em

2:17 am

rbud

I like that left and right idea, too. :)

2:19 am

rbud

Hubs had some really rude ones, too. He was quite the collector. I'm planning on making a couple of quilts out of them for our son and daughter.

2:20 am

rbud

I'll also include some of mine just because. Partly because they no longer fit, bwahaha!

2:20 am

grannyrose

lolll rbud...

2:31 am

sprite

oh great idea, that quilt!

2:33 am

sprite

*admits to loving rude ones too*

2:35 am

sprite

"My other T-shirt is a Prada"

2:39 am

sprite

conman two words?

2:39 am

grannyrose

yes dearest

2:40 am

sprite

thanks :) One of the toughest things about english for me, knowing when to split things up and when they are one word.

2:40 am

sprite

compared to dutch, that is

2:42 am

grannyrose

as is hit man, but i try hitman every time... loll

2:42 am

sprite

same here.

2:43 am

grannyrose

so it doesn't matter if english is your native tongue or not...

2:43 am

sprite

also, compounds are hard for me to spot.

2:48 am

grannyrose

ditto here

2:48 am

sprite

am getting involved in the translation committee of the OA, rose. Lovely way to help OA and do something I enjoy at the same time.

2:49 am

grannyrose

good on you... and what is happening with your own book?

2:49 am

sprite

oh! Totally forgot about that. Yes! Am gonna take up translating that again too. Thanks rose.

2:50 am

grannyrose

what would you do without me?? hmmm?

2:53 am

sprite

I have no idea. I very much need you in my life.

2:54 am

grannyrose

*grin* and i you sweetie.

2:54 am

sprite

:)

2:54 am

sprite

small panic attack... cannot find the translation we already did!

2:55 am

grannyrose

oh no.... lost in the transition?

2:55 am

grannyrose

let me check my emails.

2:56 am

sprite

yes, please do! Thank you.

2:56 am

grannyrose

omg. i have 460 of your emails on file. an you remember at least the year?

2:57 am

sprite

LOLLLLL omg. I'd say about a year back. Can you search them for 'jirelle'?

2:58 am

grannyrose

will try

2:59 am

grannyrose

aha found. will try and forward what i have

2:59 am

sprite

otherwise I will start over. I just hope my native speaker readers will not mind!

3:01 am

grannyrose

i found chapter two and sent.looking for chapter one

3:01 am

sprite

thank you!

3:05 am

grannyrose

hokay... i think you sent chapter one to lizlin, and not me. i hope she has it on her files.

3:06 am

sprite

no, she does not, she did not join in for personal reasons

3:06 am

sprite

it is okay, honey, thanks for looking. I will start over, use what you sent me, and make it better than before.

3:07 am

grannyrose

alright honey.

3:09 am

sprite

fireflies. Tough little grid. Fun to work!

3:09 am

welki

hi folks

2:24 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Welki :-)

2:25 pm

zoozzoom

Nice mountain icon!

2:28 pm

zoozzoom

How are you keeping, Welki?

2:31 pm

welki

fairly well, thanks - finding that being retired is hard work :)

2:32 pm

welki

how about you - have things settled down with your parents? are you able to have any time to yourself?

2:32 pm

zoozzoom

Well it will be.. You have more time to do other things :-)

2:35 pm

welki

at first, it seemed i had far too much time on my hands - don't know if you knew, but i had some foot surgery last fall. it's only during the last week or two that i can actually walk a decent distance without severe pain - so now i'm on the go :)

2:35 pm

zoozzoom

Afraid not. Couple of nurses came a week ago to change dads catheter but they tried twice...could not get it in. Next thing we had to call the ambulance as there was blood everywhere.

2:36 pm

zoozzoom

Glad your foot is getting better, Welki!

2:37 pm

welki

aw zooz, must have been horrible for your dad, the pain, the process, the embarassment. folks his age don't deal well with that sort of stuff - heck, folks any age don't deal well with it

2:39 pm

zoozzoom

True I had to try and help him. I kept him calm until we got to the hospital. He spent four days there. Man was he grumpy.

2:41 pm

zoozzoom

Of course he is dreading the next time it needs changing.

2:41 pm

welki

sounds like my father in law - just getting him to accept help is a monumental pain in the behind

2:42 pm

zoozzoom

That's about right lol

2:43 pm

welki

admitting that you can't be 100% self-sufficient hurts more than your pride - it shoots an arrow directly into your self-worth

2:43 pm

zoozzoom

Hope the weather is warming up for you, Welki.

2:43 pm

welki

they're lucky to have you, zooz. don't think i'd have the patience you have

2:44 pm

welki

yes! we have springlike temperatures with no chance of snow until next wednesday :D

2:44 pm

zoozzoom

Yes he is a very proud man and hates the thought of not doing what he used to be able to do.

2:46 pm

zoozzoom

Nice about the mild weather now.. Yuck for the snow for you on Wednesday .

The comments about cluing were mostly about how some people like to find words on their own and chat is now basically a litany of clue asks and clue solvers. It's all about how people like to play the game.
