NBT and NBS doesn't mean anything, point wise. It is just something that someone made up years ago and it has perpetuated through the years. Like "monkeys" and "babblets".

Good morning, all.

Good morning, judi.

Coffee is too strong. Hair sprouting on tongue.

8:03 am

gramma

I just had an absolute stupiphany! I am going to tell you my secret but from this moment on, it shall be known as the gramma method. No monetary profit from this shall be claimed without a tithe to me. Me, the inventor or shall I say discoverer of the gramma method to babble.

8:05 am

PastorJ

(waiting breathlessly for gramma's revelation)

8:06 am

NANCY

oh tell oh tell us all

8:06 am

Judi

Gramma's either going to give us an infomercial or a Ted Talk.

8:07 am

MollyL

Oh I hope it is information. I hate Ted Talks.

8:08 am

gramma

The sun was shining in on my screen. I had to turn it at an angle to cut the glare and low and behold 20 or so more words appeared. I cannot stop them from falling into my line of vision. It's like they were there the whole time but now I can see them clearly. You may try my method for free, just once. Then you must pay me every time you use it. It's a miracle cure for Babble Blindness!

8:09 am

gramma

I know. I know. It really is worth the price. Just stay calm and babble on.

8:09 am

Judi

Enlightened!

8:10 am

gramma

Judi, could you please write a review of this method so others can understand it's greatness.

8:10 am

MollyL

*Wonders how many people will actually try this

8:10 am

Torgo

I just did. Got five more words. It's like magic.

8:10 am

PastorJ

Peer review is needed. Babblers, tilt your screens!

8:10 am

gramma

Molly, don't wonder, try it.

8:11 am

Torgo

shom

8:11 am

gramma

Torgo, remember the first time is free.

8:11 am

MollyL

*Contacts attorneys for Gramma when the people who try it and fail attempt litigation.

8:12 am

gramma

gramma cannot be held responsible for others stupidity or lack of vision.

8:13 am

Torgo

I might never go back to normal view! Until I get stuck, and go back, and see all these new words! Honestly, I wish there was a way to rotate the tiles 90 degrees. New perspectives help so much in this.

8:13 am

PastorJ

keen

8:13 am

PastorJ

sorry!

8:14 am

BzznBea

I'm off for the day. See you all tomorrow.

8:15 am

MollyL

Use the "snip" tool to snip the grid. Save it to your desktop. Open it with PAINT and then rotate it 90 degrees left or right.

8:20 am

gramma

Molly, you are trying to steal my shine! I will not tolerate such blatant thievery! Just move your screen. No need to snip or paint. I am flattered that you have found the wisdom in my madness. Now back off! It's already a perfect method. See Pastor found keen.

8:22 am

gramma

nuker

8:22 am

gramma

Yes Molly, I am calling you names. I am not making up stoopid words.

2:33 pm

jan

This grid is positively lousy with birds--one for harpjane for certain.

HarryHood

3:40 pm

MollyL

Hey amelu, how did the 4th of July festivities go?

3:42 pm

Soodle

I was unaware there was a limit to the number of clues that could be given in any particular day. Molly, maybe you should get a whistle, and blow it when you deem too many clues have been given. Or.... maybe people should just be allowed to ask for & receive clues without being judged.

3:46 pm

amelu0218

We are actually going to do it on 07/25, as that is about midway between birthdays. But I did get a little over $2K in fireworks yesterday, lol.

3:47 pm

amelu0218

Thanks for asking/remembering!

3:51 pm

Trifioso

hello soooooodle, if you are still here

3:55 pm

Hey Trif. Still here. ðŸ¤—

Trifioso

SUCH a treat!

3:57 pm

Soodle

Trif - your profile pic is the Triffiest thing I ever saw. Only YOU could post such a Triffy pic. I LOVE IT

3:57 pm

Soodle

Trif - your profile pic is the Triffiest thing I ever saw. Only YOU could post such a Triffy pic. I LOVE IT

3:58 pm

Trifioso

thank you! They were not so helpful that day....silly goats

3:59 pm

Soodle

How are you & yours faring in this Covid sh^tstorm, Trif?

4:01 pm

Trifioso

its been a thing, that is for sure. americans, on the whole, are sort of driving me mental at the moment, especially the mango in chief

4:02 pm

Trifioso

i hear the pubs are open again, that must be a relief, lol

4:03 pm

Soodle

Itâ€™s been a weird 4 months here too. Heck.

4:03 pm

Trifioso

are the cinemas and theatres open as well?

4:04 pm

Soodle

Nope! Not yet. Only pubs serving food (which are few & far between). No cinemas, no theatres.

4:05 pm

Trifioso

churches?

4:06 pm

Soodle

To be honest - I have no burning desire to go into a pub/cinema/theatre.

4:06 pm

Trifioso

I'm right there with you

4:07 pm

Soodle

Doh!!! Of course churches!!! This is Ireland!!! Max attendance 50, though.

4:07 pm

Trifioso

mine is not open yet. we had a meeting and decided to continue to do it online until september

4:07 pm

Trifioso

we even have a social zoom meeting after.

4:08 pm

Soodle

I have a Government job. Theyâ€™re saying nobody is going back to the office till the Fall

4:08 pm

Trifioso

big news in the goathouse! second round of phoebe eggs hatched, and the babies are just about ready to fledge. cute as a button, each one

4:09 pm

Trifioso

i'm glad you are able to work from home

4:09 pm

Trifioso

and you will always, always have health care, no matter what!

4:11 pm

Soodle

Wait!! Explain!! Phoebe eggs? What are they?

4:12 pm

Trifioso

oh! we have a bird in the states called a phoebe - sweet little songbird. one has taken quite a liking to above the light fixture in the goat house. she laid one set of five eggs earlier this spring, and followed up with a second round of four mid-june

4:13 pm

Trifioso

Phoebes are tiny little things, weighing less than an ounce. lovely singing voices though

4:16 pm

Soodle

How delightful!!! (I just wish you had referred to the goat-house as the â€˜old-goat houseâ€™. Fans of Mamma Mia will understand.

4:17 pm

Trifioso

we made that joke!!!! Sophie was tickled to know I now had a place to hide her three possible dads, lololol ---

4:18 pm

Soodle

ðŸ¤—. How prescient that it was Sophie who made that comment!

4:18 pm

Trifioso

right?

4:18 pm

Trifioso

hahahahah

4:19 pm

Soodle

And, you are so right. I have healthcare. Looking down the barrel,

4:19 pm

Soodle

Barrel of 60 in September....

4:20 pm

Trifioso

not ever having to worry about seeing a doctor must be such a relief

4:22 pm

Soodle

My late Mamâ€™s house has just been sold & for the forst time in 15 years, I am financialy

4:22 pm

Trifioso

that's so good to read

4:23 pm

Soodle

Financially solvent. My grand plan to take a trip to the US has been thwarted by a bloody virus!!

4:23 pm

Trifioso

you will ALWAYS have a free place to stay near Boston!

4:25 pm

Soodle

Thank you, my friend. Much appreciated. I bitterly regret not taking my dear friend RubyFooâ€™s many invitations.

4:25 pm

dianedecoder

A nice conversation going on!! I will join by saying hello ladies. :-)

4:26 pm

4:29 pm

dianedecoder

I haven't played Babble much lately, ( my profile will explain) byt I hope to play more often in the future!

4:31 pm

dianedecoder

Two daughters just arrived with some yummy looking iced cappuccinos......be back later!!

4:35 pm

Bugsaw

Hello ladies. I have not played Babble in some time but want to say how sorry I am for your loss, Diane. It is always sad to lose someone but not being able to congregate makes it worse. My heart goes out to you.

4:35 pm

Trifioso

hello bugsaw! You have been missed

4:36 pm

Bugsaw

Thank you Trif but I don't believe it. I felt the need to do different things during our lockdown so the days didn't feel so long.

4:37 pm

Soodle

Oh my goodness. 2 Babblers I have met in real life here at the same time. I am blessed. Hi (((Bugsaw)))

4:38 pm

Bugsaw

Hugs back to you Soodle. I am sorry for the way you came into some financial safety but glad that it happened for you. Not many houses are selling here because of job insecurity.

4:40 pm

Bugsaw

I hope you get to play with that gorgeous grandson sooner rather than later.

4:40 pm

Soodle

Itâ€™s bittersweet, Bugs, thats for sure. At least I wonâ€™t be tempted to blow my inheritance on a frivolous ho

4:41 pm

Soodle

Holiday. Apologies. Playing on an iPad.

4:42 pm

Bugsaw

I was sure you meant something else. I thought another house maybe.

4:42 pm

Soodle

ðŸ¤ªðŸ¤ªðŸ¤ª

4:46 pm

Soodle

This evening has been one of the most enjoyable evenings I have had on Babble for a long time. Lovely friendly company. Like the old days. Iâ€™m off to bed now. Bless you all. Stay safe & keep in touch.
