9:55 am
mattygroves
Glad it wasn't just me, sad it happened (well, not crying into my cornflakes sad, more vaguely bummed)
9:55 am
hurshy
i was Distressed
9:56 am
MollyL
People, remember to email Dr. God when the site goes down,. He doesn't keep constant tabs on this place.
9:57 am
rururocks
i emailed him when i got up
9:57 am
hurshy
ooh, another pretty word, one of the re7/40s
9:57 am
hurshy
and found another re8 and 9
9:58 am
MollyL
Quarantined people with no Babble to play is not a good recipe.
9:59 am
NANCY
has anyone asked lickety to please update?
10:00 am
MollyL
Lickety's list automatically updates at a certain time. It can't if Babble is not up. If Lilckety is not around, it may not update today.
10:00 am
hurshy
light the candles, power's out, lol
10:00 am
MollyL
And that "Clues are up" from Lickety is automated as well, it's not really him.
10:01 am
hurshy
i knew that but i didn't realize the server was down for so long, nor did i think through the consequences of it not being up when lickety's system tries to update
10:03 am
MollyL
I emailed Mark and asked him if he can update. If he is around, he will.
10:03 am
mattygroves
If he's in Australia, it's the middle of the night though
10:03 am
hurshy
oh, his name is mark? more news! lol
10:04 am
MollyL
Well then, maybe later. For now, we are listless.
10:04 am
MollyL
You didn't think he name was really Lickety, did you?
10:04 am
penquis
and listless about being listless... ;o)
10:04 am
hurshy
ohhhhh the things we learn when the server goes down
the server goes down
the server goes down
the things we learn when the server goes down
are numerous
10:04 am
hurshy
i didn't think his name was really lickety but i did not know what it was
10:05 am
hurshy

10:06 am
hurshy

10:12 am
hurshy

10:12 am
MLFAN17
what do you mean hurshy?
10:12 am
hurshy
i mean RE words suck!!! lol
10:13 am
mattygroves
There are so many Rs and so many Es, it was statistically very likely to be an RE ;)
10:13 am
MLFAN17
hurshy i totally agree wth you
10:14 am
hurshy
matty fleshes out the details of what i mean much better than i do lol
10:14 am
MLFAN17
matty i have no idea i tried other letters besides re
10:14 am
mattygroves
* blush *
10:14 am
mattygroves
I don't have the 10 either, for what it's worth
10:15 am
MLFAN17

pewer - a kid that points a finger or banana and says "pew pew pew"
10:15 am
MLFAN17
i dont have any re 8/9's
10:16 am
hurshy
then i suppose the 10 is not related to the ones i have
10:16 am
hurshy
the ones i have are all normal words, is the 10 normal also?
10:16 am
mattygroves
Top tip - put an -er at the end of everything - some will stick
10:16 am
mattygroves
Also, try an re- in front of everything. Some will stick
10:17 am
penquis
yes, the 10 is a normal word...
10:17 am
MLFAN17
true matty lol
10:17 am
hurshy
oHO eureke
10:17 am
hurshy
eurekA rather
10:17 am
hurshy
that only leaves 6 more r words for me to find. (plus lots other words)
10:18 am
mattygroves
Lert should be a word. Because the world needs more lerts (as in 'be a-lert)
10:18 am
aslindy
agreed matty!
10:18 am
MLFAN17
i have alot of words to find
10:19 am
hurshy
tove should be a word too. i mean i guess it is in jabberwocky, anyway
10:19 am

hurshy

10:21 am
MLFAN17
are they related to another re word or words?
10:21 am
hurshy
assuming there isn't a third re9 that is before it, i mean
10:21 am
aslindy
no 9s here, nor the 10
10:22 am
MLFAN17
pen i have the 10 as well its sort of related to a 6/7
10:22 am
hurshy
they are all normal, we can clue if people want but they are normal so if you prefer not clue we can refrain
10:22 am
penquis
yes, MLF, i have those...
10:23 am
MLFAN17

hokie carla
but now I appear to be stuck
3:00 pm
cybernan
49 here and heading to the list
3:01 pm
hokie carla
still 6 4's I could try to find
3:01 pm
cybernan
you have much more patience for this than I
3:02 pm
hokie carla
I will reach that point at some time but haven't played that long today
3:04 pm
hokie carla
phantom convert and converter
3:07 pm
cybernan
there is an ov 8 I can't find -- assumed it was a compound, but maybe not
3:08 pm
cybernan
found a ridiculous ov 7 though
3:09 pm
hokie carla
I just found an ov8, thanks. what you might do to a toddler if you make him miss his nap
3:09 pm
hokie carla
so, it basically is a compound
3:10 pm
cybernan
no idea -- was always thrilled when my toddlers decided to take a nap!
3:10 pm
hokie carla
well, if they start screaming at a restaurant you might say "that kid must be ov8-d"
3:11 pm
cybernan
ok - got it
3:11 pm
cybernan
ty carla
3:11 pm
hokie carla
not seeing the ridiculous ov7 though
3:11 pm
cybernan
there is another ov 8 before that one though
3:13 pm
hokie carla
not messy, nan
3:13 pm
cybernan
not it - ty
3:13 pm
hokie carla
looks like a mix between how an egg is cooked and a cocktail
3:14 pm
Gillie
There's an ov7 that you can get by removing the first letter from a co8.
3:14 pm
cybernan
have all the o's now, ty
3:14 pm
hokie carla
thx, gillie. got it. not sure if that's nan's ridiculous one or not.
3:15 pm
hokie carla
I still have one missing
3:15 pm
hokie carla
found an o9 this morning, so it's not that
3:15 pm
hokie carla
unless there's 2
3:16 pm
cybernan
no - just that and the 6 and a 4 for the or's
3:16 pm
cybernan

4:07 pm
MollyL
Carla, you are here a lot. Spread the word that Lickety is off on a 7 day vacation, and won't be checking his computer. So if Babble goes haywire again, he won't be able to fix the list like he did today.
4:08 pm
cybernan
last te 6 please?
4:08 pm
MLFAN17
t for that info molly
4:08 pm
hokie carla
ok...will do!
4:09 pm
MollyL
Hopefully this glitch was a one off. But if there are further problems we will have to rely on lists made by early finishers.
4:11 pm
hokie carla
Winston & I did a walk earlier and encountered a possum. I thought it must've been dead since he was literally next to it. But I kept thinking wonder why it died and it looked pretty darn healthy when it hit me, it was playing possum!
4:12 pm
cybernan
it's a wonder Winston didn't pick it up and present it to you!
4:14 pm
hokie carla
I know, I was trying to remember if he touched it and I don't think he did. Probably didn't smell bad enough for him.
4:15 pm
cybernan
we used to have a cat that brought me presents all the time -- field mice and garter snakes mostly -- but she was always so proud of herself!
4:16 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I've heard of such things. so gross.
4:21 pm
cybernan
does anyone have that last te 6 please?
4:22 pm
cybernan
nm - monkeyed it
4:22 pm
hokie carla
I have 4, not sure if there's more
4:25 pm
hokie carla
I do still need 7 + 1 T's
4:29 pm
cybernan
stuck on the em 7-8 -- help please?
4:30 pm
hokie carla
often used with professor
4:30 pm

4:30 pm
hokie carla
different endings like alum has several different endings
4:31 pm

4:33 pm
lynxxx
Congrats Nan
4:33 pm
cybernan
ok - on my way - stay safe everyone
4:35 pm
hokie carla
hmm, turns out -us is for males and this one is females. I never could figure out the different versions of alum so I'm going to guess that's the same.
4:45 pm
hokie carla
ok, I think I have 7 te6 now. 25 left total!
4:46 pm
hokie carla
2 4's, 5 5's, 8 6's, 6 7's, 2 8's, 2 9's. geez.
4:47 pm
lynxxx
You knocked over the 10 though!
4:48 pm
hokie carla
I saw a clue, so it wasn't unaided
4:53 pm
BzznBea
Not even half way today...
4:53 pm
lynxxx
come on Bea - concentrate
4:54 pm
BzznBea
That's okay. I've been thinking of giving Babble up like I have tv...Almost a year since I've watched the tube...
4:55 pm
hokie carla
why give up all the things that give pleasure?
4:55 pm
lynxxx
Just commercial TV - or everything on screen?
4:55 pm
hokie carla
what's next?
4:56 pm
BzznBea
My grands are here for the first time in MONTHS! Will see you on Monday!
4:56 pm

How lovely !
4:57 pm
hokie carla
oh yes, I forgot you said that. enjoy!
4:57 pm
lynxxx
Got your dog Carla
4:58 pm
hokie carla
What do you mean? How did you get him?
4:58 pm
hokie carla
and I just saw origami snuck in.
4:58 pm
hokie carla
ha! did not get. thanks.
4:59 pm
lynxxx
he is a golden re9 isn't he?
5:02 pm
MollyL
Has Bea gone Puritan on us?
5:05 pm
hokie carla
maybe. I think she gave up email too. I sent her one this morning to see if she got mine last week and she didn't answer.
5:06 pm
MollyL
Odd time to be giving up things that keep you in touch with others.
5:07 pm
hokie carla
good point, maybe it's just me :D
5:07 pm
MollyL
Unless she is totally digging the isolation.
5:07 pm
hokie carla
what is my missing j??
5:08 pm
lynxxx
all je ...4 4 6 4 5 5
5:08 pm
hokie carla
ok, a 5, thank you
5:08 pm
lynxxx
perhaps je5.20 ends in a weight
5:08 pm
hokie carla
not the baseball player or one who racial slurs
5:09 pm
hokie carla
of course, thx. I usually get that one too.
5:11 pm
hokie carla
there's my last v, not sure why I didn't try that already
5:13 pm
hokie carla
ooh, found my last 8
5:13 pm
hokie carla
and there's the last 9
5:14 pm
hokie carla
19 left!
5:23 pm
hokie carla
went to the list. of course the first one is a 4 that I definitely entered already
5:28 pm
MollyL
This is why I rarely try to finish anymore. Too many dropped words and not enough time to figure out what I already entered that is gone.
5:28 pm
hokie carla
I'm not surprised, esp. since the server was down earlier, that it happened
5:33 pm
MollyL
It happens to me every day
5:33 pm
hokie carla
it happens to me occasionally, usually in a bigger grid
5:35 pm
hokie carla
and it's always a 4 or 5 letter word
5:35 pm
hokie carla
usually 4
5:40 pm
hokie carla
well, now 3 left. 2 6's and a 7.
5:41 pm
hokie carla
doh, there's one
5:41 pm
hokie carla
and another
5:42 pm
hokie carla
can I do it without having to look one up? I even know the 3rd letter.
5:43 pm
lynxxx
it's not the 2nd en7 is it, it's driving me nuts
5:43 pm
hokie carla
got it!
5:44 pm
hokie carla
no, it was an m6
5:44 pm
hokie carla
en + candy or cake
5:45 pm
hokie carla
or the halloween option not a trick

when did Lickety put the clues up. I was just about to give up on last few and noticed clues up
5:52 pm
Lizlin
Good morning. Lickety will have put the clues up when he woke up this morning.
5:52 pm
Smdnjv
I haven't had them all day
5:52 pm
Lizlin
I emailed him yesterday afternoon but the site was still down at 11.30pm last night.
5:53 pm
lynxxx
thanks Liz
5:53 pm
Lizlin
No worries - I saw Molly emailed him too.
5:53 pm
lynxxx
...and thanks Lickety
5:53 pm
Smdnjv
I sure miss that man when he is away
5:54 pm
Lizlin
I think most babblers do.
5:55 pm
hokie carla
I am supposed to spread the word that he is on vacation or something for the next 7 days, so if the server goes down again like earlier today he will not be able to release his list.
5:56 pm
Lizlin
Thanks, Carla - If I see the list doesn't appear over the next week, I'll also spread the word and will only email him to ask him to fix it after his holiday.
5:58 pm
MollyL
I'm still amazed that vacation travel is okay with COVID still being the problem that it is.
5:58 pm
Lizlin
That er ending is coming in for a lot of use!
5:59 pm
Lizlin
Lickety is possibly travelling just within his state.
5:59 pm
lynxxx
You obviously haven't bothered to look at the COVID stats in Australia
5:59 pm
hokie carla
I thought Australia was free of it. Was that NZ?
6:00 pm
lynxxx
NZ is free - we have very very low
6:00 pm
JaxH66
I’ve friends in Australia that have just had a weeks holiday in their state with no issues
6:00 pm
Lizlin
Just checked - 11 new cases in the whole of Australia yesterday
6:01 pm
MollyL
No, I really only pay attention to the COVID news in my own country.
6:01 pm
lynxxx
but probably most in hotel quarantine
6:01 pm
Lizlin
Brisbane is having a 3 day lockdown for contact tracing.
6:01 pm
lynxxx
That is out of your area isn't it Li8z?
6:01 pm
Lizlin
North of me
6:01 pm
Lizlin
So, yes - not my area.
6:02 pm
hokie carla
I try not to follow any numbers anywhere
6:03 pm
Lizlin
Important thing is to keep yourself and your family well.
6:03 pm
Lizlin
Clue for the re 9 after Carla's dog please
6:05 pm
hokie carla
like a feeling you might get if you ran into a hero
6:05 pm
lynxxx
a religious word - 'respect' for a holy being perhaps
6:06 pm
Lizlin
Thanks to both of you - that gave me an re 7 too.
6:11 pm
hokie carla
good!

6:33 pm
penquis
bye, lyn...
6:42 pm
MollyL
Cool. I didn't realize that there are countries that are almost COVID free. I guess there is hope for all of us.
6:43 pm
penquis
well it probably helps that they are an island...but it is nice...
6:43 pm
penquis
can't find my last two words.... :o(
6:44 pm
MollyL
Yeah , population makes a big dfference.
6:51 pm
penquis
i am done....
6:51 pm
Gillie
New Zealand did do a fast lock down right at the start.
6:52 pm
penquis
yes, so did we in my state...at least for the first three and a half months....helped a lot....
6:52 pm
penquis
heading out....goodnight all....
7:02 pm
Gillie
Croatia is listed as having the most deaths from COVID-19 per capita, and its population is a bit less than New Zealand's.
7:04 pm
Gillie
Panama, with a similar population to New Zealand, is also among the world's worst.
7:06 pm
Gillie
And of course, China has done extremely well. (Being an authoritarian state obviously helps, if the authorities take the right steps.)
7:16 pm
Gillie
Though China's figures may not be reliable.
