Two things worth mentioning. There is another list site, made by a Babble player:
https://tinyurl.com/vsjxqbr
4:32 am
MollyL
ARB has instructions in her profile on how to create a list on an Excel spreadsheet. It takes much less time than typing it all out in the chat. Go to RANKINGS, do a CNTRL + F, type in ARB. To find the profile.
4:33 am
MollyL
I will see if I can put the instructions in chat, without it blowing the chat width.
4:34 am
MollyL
Instructions for putting babble grid results into profile:
• Copy word list into an Excel spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 5 columns (because of ? for dictionary).
• Copy the first word,letter and points into the columns B,C,D, so that everything lines up.
• Then insert a column after the word.
• Then write a formula in the first line after the word, example - " =left($B1,2)" (the $ makes the formula absolute)
• Then copy the formula all the way down (put cursor in bottom right of the top cell with the formula and drag down to end of word list).
• Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points

Not me! Can you clue further?
7:41 am
MollyL
You use it to time something
7:41 am
Marc Freeman
st4 plus what Molly said
7:50 am

No, you actually use an st9 to time something

In my defense.. I never ran track

i'm not afraid of hard work. it might have been fun.. but I was more of a hippie in those days and the sports crowd weirded me out
8:50 am

The hard work gets harder around here when you have two a day practices in 90 degree weather with high humidity
8:53 am
rururocks
well that I could not do.. i wilt in humidity
8:57 am

I don't know how anyone does it. I would pass out.

jmcnrick
yes there is a 9
10:33 am
hokie carla
but I do hate being out in it
10:34 am
hokie carla
I do prefer the high heat with no humidity to lower heat with high humidity for outdoor activities
10:34 am

Since I don't use A/C out in humidity is not that big of deal

This is such a small grid, if people keep posting their words in the chat, we might have all the words in the grid. WITHOUT JMC posting her word list. : D
11:10 am
jmcnrick
I havent done that in years!!!! [blush]
11:14 am
Flask1
Oh Molly stop it!! Its a game...and everyone can play however they want without you cracking your great big whip!! As for giving clues and asking for clues....you do it just as much as the rest of us.....but of course, we all understand that it's for your favoured clique....which is fine...but don't feel free to criticise the rest of us!!!
11:15 am
jmcnrick
Molls was just teasing Flask
11:15 am
car.eeyore
I, for one, am grateful for the clues!
11:16 am
LisaG
can i have a clue for the v please?
11:16 am
jmcnrick
And she said nothing about clues, She was joking about putting the answerrs in the chog.
11:16 am
car.eeyore
va + you in Spanish
11:16 am
Trifioso
I am too. And I respectfully disagree, jmc. Molly is always ranking on people for askng for clues, and complaining when people do. She could choose to shut the chog off, as others do. But she is somehow ALWAYS here.
11:17 am
LisaG
thank you!
11:17 am
Flask1
jmc. The very last sentence was a tease at you....the rest was yet another big dig at the rest of us!!
11:18 am
Trifioso
hear, hear flask!
11:19 am
jmcnrick
she wrote: This is such a small grid, if people keep POSTING THEIR WORDS in the chat, we might have all the words in the grid. WITHOUT JMC posting her word list. : D
11:19 am
jmcnrick
so maybe y'all are a little thin skinned today. not saying what she does other times.
11:20 am
jmcnrick
but since we are all under pandemic stress we should all cut each other some slack. I was not offended and wrote [blush] as humor not actual embarassment.
11:21 am
jmcnrick
and sorry I missed Whoo hoo for flask
11:21 am
origami
Come on folks, Molly wasn't saying anything about asking for clues. She was just teasing jmc about the time she copied her whole word list into the chat lot.
11:22 am
Flask1
OMG jmc...read what you've just written...YOU are not mentioned until the last SIX words....and that was aimed at you...yes....we all appreciate that part was a joke TO YOU...but not the first part!!!
11:22 am
saanichcat
and copying the word list happens occasionally, by accident
11:22 am
jmcnrick
and BTW it was a really loooong list
11:22 am
jmcnrick
Flask you read what I just wrote she said noting a thing about clues
11:22 am
saanichcat
and it is always funny
11:23 am
origami
I wish I had witnessed it, jmc. It is legendary :D
11:23 am
jmcnrick
copy and paste where she used the word "clue"
11:24 am
jmcnrick
haha saan I nearl died from embarrassment that day but everyone was lovely about it
11:25 am
Trifioso
again, respectfully, I am siding with Flask here, I feel Flask's reaction is probably a culmination, as mine is. A lot of us are sick and tired of being sniped and never "quite" mentioned, but aimed aid with dig after dig and complaint after complaint. The chog is not the happy place it once was, and it is commonly known why that is.
11:26 am
Trifioso
MANY people are absolutely fed up with it.
11:26 am
KnightTime
so babble lives matter?
11:26 am
saanichcat
hahahah
11:27 am
jmcnrick
be fed up when it happens. be kind and forgiving when you can
11:27 am

Thanks Trif....am feeling so exasperated now....it just takes the fun out of the game...
11:27 am
Trifioso
tu et n'est pas seul, flask mon amie
11:29 am
Trifioso
oops. sorry!
11:29 am
jmcnrick
I am sorry if I added to your frustration flask. I believe that a cheerful answer and ignoring the rest is a way to have a happer Babbleland.
11:29 am

tsk trif penalty box for you!
11:30 am
jmcnrick

11:30 am
saanichcat
there is champagne in the PB today to cheer us all up
11:30 am
Trifioso
I know, I know...hope there is still some reisling in there from the other day....and for the record jmc? Many of us have been "looking the other way" for so long now that it's untenable, and too many good people have left, do to the endless negativity.
11:32 am
origami
<--- contemplates typing a word into the chog just to get a glass of champagne.
11:33 am
jmcnrick
well slap my mouth and call me Merry Sunshine. I have spent many years in more negative places than Babbleland. Being a leftist/liberal woman lawyer is not all beer and skittles. I have learned to refuse to be driven away.
11:33 am
jmcnrick
I thought about that too origami
11:33 am
jmcnrick
ask Trif to slip you a glass
11:33 am
hurshy
y'all know it's only virtual champagne, right? lol
11:33 am
saanichcat

come on in the pb, it's great in here!
11:34 am

Yes, trif. Please pour us all a glass :D

you lonely in there Trif?

When will you be released, Trif?

I'm certainly lonelly in isolation! two more days, hopefully....
11:35 am

took second test today, should have results by friday
11:35 am

Be kind and forgiving you said JMC....however there is a limits as to how many times we can be expected to do it
11:35 am
saanichcat
good luck
11:35 am

now now I was in isolation for 10 days and quarantine for by myself for months
11:36 am
jmcnrick
70 times 70 as I recall flask
11:36 am
Trifioso
same. it's not fun
11:36 am

trust me, jmc, that marker was passed months ago. we have archives to prove it
11:36 am
marksdolly
aww Trif,,, I couldn't take isolation.. I'm sorry to hear this
11:38 am
Trifioso
i brought a jigsaw puzzle and a sewing project in with me, and the hubs has brought the goats to the window a couple of times a day....the hardest part BY FAR was existing solely on hubs-supplied foodstuffs. He is a NICE, nice man, but the cooking? god help us all
11:38 am
MollyL
*Psst...JMC...it was just a joke to you about the time you posted your word list in the chat* Everyone else, enjoy the champagne.
11:39 am
Trifioso
watched some fantastically girly British television, read three books.....the time passed
11:39 am
jmcnrick
I know Molls.
11:40 am
jmcnrick
Well Trif I am glad you are not alone when you were out of isolation.
11:40 am
Trifioso
the HARDEST of ALL part was not being with the rest of the coven when my mums gravestone was installed. but I couldn't go - doctors order
11:40 am
Trifioso
thank you jmc
11:44 am
jmcnrick
The hardest for me is not getting to hug or kiss my boy when he brings me groceries. I am so ready for this to be over but I have friends (including a Babbler or two) who are medical personnel and I am not willing to make their life harder so I stay home alone.
11:45 am
Trifioso
I can't even imagine, jmc. I know so many providers who have been alone for MONTHS now. I just can't imagine it.
11:46 am
jmcnrick
I am making protective gear for one of them who is in charge of a clinic for immigrants and low income. She want gear she could wash rather than the disposable gear. She gives the masks I send to patients.
11:46 am
mixi6
yup. that would be hard. when mother died, we did an immediate family only get together, waited a few weeks for the burial service so everyone could get cheap airfares, but that was several years ago.
11:47 am
Flask1
Oh dear, MOLLY YOU JUST NEVER GIVE UP, DO YOU! everyone in here knew the last sentence was a joke to JMC.....but the first pat was not!!! You were not all involved in the conversation .....so you've obviously been watching the chat and decided to jump in.....that was no coincidence.....
11:49 am
jmcnrick
and you could have let it go too flask. she spoke to me. There is no private room here. She doesn't have my email and isn't on FB. Take a breath.
11:50 am
jmcnrick
which of you remember the troll that catfished us and nearly destroyed Babbleland?
11:52 am

I have 18 left and am taking a break

JMC...she's a very clever woman and knows what she's doing!!!
11:54 am

I think I know that one you mean, jmc.....the british boy? sometimes I suspect he has returned in yet another new identity
11:55 am

I think he was a celebrity Trif....
11:55 am
Trifioso
he certainly thought he was, lol flask
11:56 am
Flask1
Trying very hard here to remember his name...
11:56 am
Trifioso
always the "poor innocent victim" that one - oh, the endless rants through email and on his webpage! "All i did was make an innocent comment, and I was attaaaaacked!"
11:56 am
Trifioso
don't bother, flask, he is not worth remembering
11:56 am
amelu0218
so... when I rent a waterslide for the kids' bday(s) this summer, do you think I should get the 27'Hx61'L or the 18'Hx46'L that I normally get? We grownups are not spring chickens anymore, lol.
11:56 am
Trifioso
none of his comments were ever innocent either. NONE. zero.
11:57 am
Trifioso
it was initials, as I recall.....
11:57 am
Trifioso
but I am not spending any more time thinking about him.
11:57 am
origami
Is it BR you're talking about?
11:57 am
Flask1
Yes I remember him....
11:57 am
Trifioso
no, the british guy
11:57 am
Trifioso
who made up the korean guy
11:58 am
Flask1
Julian Clary!!!
11:58 am
Trifioso
and totally attacked that poor australian woman who got a dog
11:58 am
Trifioso
flask! Throw salt over your shoulder, FAST!
12:00 pm
rururocks
You mean nancyboy?
12:01 pm
Trifioso
that's is the one, ruru. As I recall, you were the one who tipped me off about him not being real
12:01 pm
Flask1
Am sure he had an accomplice too....
12:01 pm
rururocks
I am not sure JC was involved in that one
12:02 pm
saanichcat
oh and there was also 'fauxmage' or whatever her name was
12:02 pm
rururocks
They were friends of Neil as I remember and not JC
12:02 pm
Trifioso
i thought he was?
12:03 pm
Trifioso
there was also another babbler, a man, who's name I cannot recall, and don't want to, that friended a bunch of us on facebook, when we were all new to facebook and would friend anyone, who turned out to be .....unwell. total stalker material. that wasn't funny though, that was SCARY
12:03 pm
rururocks
A group of gay guys getting their jollies by pulling the chain on some players here
12:03 pm
kittychan
I've gotten my nose a little out of joint from time to time over the years with something snotty being said but I have to advantage of a horrible memory and I can never remember later who annoyed me.
12:04 pm
Trifioso
that is a blessing to be sure, kitty chan....i guess?
12:05 pm
kittychan
It's not always a curse anyway
12:05 pm
Flask1
To be honest with all, I dunno where folk get the energy or the wherewithall to be so nasty.....and how do they remember all their lies???
12:05 pm
Trifioso
do you remember the name of the nice australian woman who JC ran off? she owned a dumpster company, and was so lovely
12:05 pm
Trifioso
I don't remember how nancyboy got unmasked - ruru? flask?
12:06 pm
Flask1
Sorry I can't remember....
12:06 pm
Flask1
no...but am almost positive he wasn't alone...
12:07 pm
rururocks
I researched death notices in England.
You mean that guy Frank trif?
12:08 pm
Flask1
yes!!!....that was his accomplice!!
12:09 pm
Flask1
Why Trif, who dies??
12:09 pm
Trifioso
I honestly can't remember.
12:09 pm
Trifioso
nancyboy apparently did.
12:09 pm
Trifioso
and we were all so upset - and then it turned out he wasn't real to start with
12:09 pm
moolingwa
hey all
12:10 pm
Flask1
Thats right.....its all coming back to me...
12:10 pm
rururocks
Hi mool
12:10 pm
Flask1
Hi mool....
12:11 pm
Trifioso
goodness! some sort of something is happening outside! horns blaring, sirens....whooping.....can't for the life of me see what it is all aobut
12:11 pm
moolingwa
happy Woden's day all
12:11 pm
Flask1
Was it not the FRANK that was supposed to have died?
12:12 pm
saanichcat
and the same to you mool
12:13 pm
Trifioso
okay, no panic - apparently it is a parade for the fifth graders who just finished elementary school.
12:14 pm
Flask1
Aww lovely!
12:16 pm
Trifioso
truly. those poor kids. I hope they can go back to real school in the fall, and not spend more months flat on their butts in front of tv
12:17 pm
rururocks
We also tracked down through reverse photography that Nancyboy's photos were actually a Famous Japanese Actor and not a poor Gay Korean boy
12:18 pm
rururocks
And Frank wasn't the worst stalker here TRif
12:19 pm
Trifioso
I dont know that it was frank. I seriously don't remember the guys name. Unfriended him after a week, and he seemed to disappear off fb
12:19 pm
rururocks
and there are a couple of players who kind of regularly make up stories fairly often too.. .but those are mostly harmless
12:20 pm
rururocks
it was Frank.. I'm sure of it Trif
12:20 pm
Trifioso
there is a very, very real reason why I have that line in my profile about how you really can't trust anyone in cyberland.
12:20 pm
rururocks
supposedly Nancyboy's boyfriend and future husband
12:20 pm
Flask1
Nothing more true Trif...
12:21 pm
Trifioso
no, defintely not him.this was a all-too-lonely straight man targeting women through babble and fb
12:21 pm
rururocks
i have met in person several babble players and a few have become really great personal friends
12:21 pm
Trifioso
I think we are talking about two separate people- the two things were not concurrent
12:22 pm
rururocks
in that case I don't know who you mean trif
12:22 pm
Trifioso
definitely agree on that score, ruru - for the most part babblers are great.
12:24 pm
rururocks
dots what paco?
12:25 pm
Trifioso
7 left and just completely grid locked. can't see a word to save me
12:25 pm
moolingwa
one left for me
12:28 pm
Trifioso
go mooling go! get 'er done!
12:28 pm
moolingwa
yeah, this last one has be a bit stumped tho
12:29 pm
Trifioso
topical phantom today: not sure I should enter it here though.....
12:29 pm
Flask1
You know, I have just looked down the list of who's online....and made ab observation....there are more people on Babble that DO NOT chat rather than do....
12:30 pm
rururocks
most players choose not to chat flask..they just do the game
12:30 pm
moolingwa
I didn't chat for years
12:31 pm
Flask1
go on Trif....you know you want to...lol
12:31 pm
Trifioso
yeah, I dont know if you can trust that - if you leave the window on a tab, which many do, you are always "on"
12:32 pm
Trifioso
shhhh flask - wypepo
12:34 pm
Flask1
Oh I think I chatted right away!!
12:34 pm
rururocks
i didn't for a long time too
12:34 pm
rururocks
now you can't shut me up
12:35 pm
Flask1
I think when I joined, I just thought it was what was kind of expected....
12:37 pm
Trifioso
oh for the love of GAWD - I can hear the DH talking to his mother on the phone....to hear him talk, I've been a constant care burden to him....not one word of a lie, I had to video chat him through "making a salad" -- Im the farthest thing from high maintenance there is.
12:37 pm
Flask1
mool...have you found your last word?
12:37 pm
moolingwa
not yet
12:38 pm
moolingwa
found it
12:38 pm
moolingwa
Thought I'd tried it several times, but apparently not
12:38 pm
Flask1
you want a clue?
12:38 pm
moolingwa
that's fw for me
12:38 pm
Trifioso
huzzah for mooling!
12:38 pm
Flask1
well done to mool.....
12:38 pm
amelu0218
fw, hagd all!
12:38 pm
Trifioso
huzzah for amelu!
12:38 pm
moolingwa
that's why it's important to keep typing the words, sometimes you didn't put it in
12:39 pm
moolingwa
that was a lot easier than yesterday for sure
12:39 pm
moolingwa
Anyone need clues before I head off?
12:39 pm
Trifioso
what does the six start with, please
12:39 pm
Flask1
I gave up yesterday with 23 to find
12:39 pm
moolingwa
I muscled through the grid, got help on about 10 words I think
12:40 pm
moolingwa
managed to guess a couple that were a bit ridiculous
12:40 pm
Flask1
didn't like yesterdays at all...
12:41 pm
moolingwa
Certainly chewed through a lot of time on it
12:42 pm
Flask1
do you ever find words you thought you had put in have disappeared?
12:42 pm
moolingwa
not for me, no
12:42 pm
zoozzoom
