does anyone have the stats yet for today?

8:21 am

Bash

Yeah, stats would be a help. I was thinking it was a smaller grid, but it doesn't look so small after all.

8:22 am

EvaNadine

so far ive got 82 words, and thats nothing about 6 letters...

8:26 am

baggo

210 words, but nobody here to do stats

8:27 am

baggo

let me play for awhile, and if nobody does them, i'll go get them and be done for the day....

8:35 am

DarleenMB

well I must be totally brain dead today. A hint on any one of the 7 letters would be deeply appreciated.

8:39 am

EvaNadine

darleen -- not a defition, but for one of the W7's, think of a part of the body

8:43 am

DarleenMB

You know you are addicted when I took today off from work since we are going away for the weekend also and I am trying to do some Babble instead of packing and leaving!!!! Hubby thinks I'm crazy!!

9:49 am

EvaNadine

wilson is my hero today.

testing

A clue for the T7/28 - russian royalty.

I'm curious - for everyone asking for stats, are you assuming that people are sitting there with stats and just not sharing them because they figure no one is interested? I usually get here after stats are posted, but will post them if they haven't been yet. Seems if they're not posted first thing, people start asking for them. I'm certain people who have them will post them if they're here and see they're not posted yet. :) Or they won't post them at all, even if you ask nicely. I was just curious as it seems funny to me.

Of course, people have also posted before how to get the stats without looking at them, so you could learn to make them. ;)

10:04 am

wilson27fan

Does anyone need anymore clues for anything before i leave for awhile?

10:09 am

wilson27fan

WOW testing , that to me seems kinda harsh.Yes, I am sure some people do have stats but don't share them.I remember one day that someone got 2 more then what was listed on the stats and did not share that info, so what does it hurt to ask?

10:14 am

testing

I promise I'm not trying to be harsh. I was asking a question because I don't understand the logic.

Some people have stats and don't wish to share them. That's their prerogative, and I doubt they'd suddenly decide to share just because someone asked. Doesn't everyone who's a regular here who reads the chat know that people like having stats?

Other people have the stats and share them if they haven't already been shared. Just seems to me that it's a reasonable assumption that if the people who are willing to share stats haven't yet, it's because they're not here. It's not because they forgot, or they just want someone to ask first.

Apparently that's not the assumption that everyone makes, though, so I'd like to understand why people ask rather than waiting. And I'll never know unless I ask, since assuming things doesn't generally lead to the right conclusions . . .

10:15 am

testing

Oh, and it doesn't hurt to ask. It doesn't bother me - I just laugh when I see it because I think it's pointless.

I didn't say it hurts to ask. Simply asked why. There's a huge difference. :)

10:25 am

Treble99

Nobody asked you to do stats, so chill out testing, I wont ask again.

10:27 am

Treble99

Thanks for the stats wilson27fan

10:27 am

testing

Actually, you did ask anybody to do stats, so I suppose I would be included in that. And you may want to recall that I do stats not infrequently, when I show up and they haven't been done yet. I don't have a problem doing them.

And if you read what I wrote, I don't have a problem with people asking. I just don't understand it and wanted to understand. Sue me for asking a simple question I suppose.

You know, I haven't been playing as much lately as I used to for a number of reasons, and there aspects to the game I haven't missed. I think it's time to make today my last day here. It's not what it used to be, that's for sure.

10:35 am

Treble99

Ok I did ask anyone for stats but you dont have to do them,hope you carry on playing thought. I wasnt being nasty when I said chill out.

10:36 am

testing

You've missed the point, and I won't be back.

10:41 am

Treble99

Hope I didnt upset you. Talk to you soem time

10:42 am

Treble99

Talk to you some time soon that should be.

10:46 am

ruth

seems to me much ado about nothing it seems a bit childish testing though to say your leaving your stats have always well received.

10:48 am

testing

Would it be less childish to leave and not say anything? Because I'm done here either way after today's puzzle. Lots and lots of things have become less enjoyable about it. I haven't played for the last few days, and I'm realizing today that I don't like it as much as I did before. So, I said so.

If you'd prefer, you can ignore that statement, but either way I won't be here tomorrow, or the next day . . . I'm sure I won't be missed, and that's not my point. It was just a statement of fact.

10:49 am

sarcasticah

Testing, don't leave. I for one would miss you. Can everyone just take a breath and stop picking on each other?

10:50 am

testing

There was no picking, actually, just a question. And that's not why I'm done here. If I said why I was actually done here, that would be picking and extremely mean to a few people, so I won't do that.

You'll live without me, I'm sure.

10:51 am

Treble99

I am sorry if I upset anyone I didnt mean to and I will leave it at that.

10:55 am

bigbirdboss

Sounds like testing is having her own little pity party at everyone else's expense

10:58 am

tedybeth

for 'testing': Thanks for all the help you've been over the past few months since I've been puzzling. I don't 'post' much - but try to play as much as time alllows. Sometimes my 'real life' does need more attention and I can't unwind with this game. Hope your 'real life' works out so you can play again - I'd miss seeing your clues, etc. from time to time!

11:01 am

sarcasticah

Hey, Aunt Beth!

11:01 am

tedybeth

sarcasticah: your cousin graduates tonight!! I may not get any more time on this puzzle --- shout a HOORAH for him - it's been a long haul. But proofing his papers has helped my word knowledge !!!

11:42 am

baggo

testing, I will miss seeing your clues and your stats...hope you come back when you can.....

11:46 am

baggo

my husband usually gets them for me, and I will post them if they are not already done. I usually try to do as much of the puzzle as I can without reading any posts. Then I go back and see what people have written and what the stats are. I only can get them without seeing them at home, so if I am at work ( i work nights) i rely on others to get them...I don't have them and not post, if i'm on and they are not there it's cause i don't want to see any words and ruin the puzzle for myself.

11:46 am

Gail

I think it would be good if Babble made the stats available via a link so people could look at them if they wished to. I personally like to work for a while before I look at clues or stats.

I don't know what it was like before I started playing a couple of months ago, but I love the game - my daughter, her boyfriend, his father and my sister- in-law all play and chat. It seems to be a great group of people who log on every day and it makes my day much more enjoyable. My boss knows I play and even tries to help with words, although she's hopeless with word games.

12:03 pm

baggo

i agree Gail....it would make it much simpler. I just don't like the thought of people leaving a game that they lilke.. :(

12:16 pm

testing

bigbirdboss - You're very funny. And how do you know I'm a "her"?

I don't want pity, or sympathy, or for anyone to say they'll miss me, or that I shouldn't leave. This just isn't much fun anymore, and therefore I have better things to do with my time. How is that so hard to understand? Only a few more words to go to finish today's puzzle, so I won't respond to anything else here.

12:22 pm

baggo

not hard at all...take care...

12:29 pm

COMFERT

I think that is the point to remember ... that this is just a game...very addictive but a game none the less.

I think that is really nice when people help each other on here.

12:30 pm

baggo

right you are 2hott...

12:32 pm

COMFERT

LOL

Sorry baggo not found the A/7 yet but as soon as I do I will place a clue if poss.

Hope ur day is going well!!

12:35 pm

baggo

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

Hello. I'm fairly new to this game but already addicted. My hubby regrets telling me about this site.
Can anyone tell me how to get stats without looking?

2:06 pm

COMFERT

Go down to: At 09:15 am wilson27fan said...
The stats are there.

I usually just have a quick look through the chat 2 see if someone has been kind enough to post the stats...

2:11 pm

SweetTooth

3:51 pm

wilson27fan

I just want to say that I think each and everyone of you are very enjoyable people.The way everyone helps each other out is great.I do not know what testings problem is today but I must agree with the one who said testing wanted her own pity party.Seems to be like testing wanted to be the one to do the stats every day and is upset because so many clues are being given because that is mostly what you see in this chat.Everyone has a right to speak their mind however,saying stuff just because someone ask for stats and then saying u are leaving the site because people reply to your remark is simply immature.

3:56 pm

COMFERT

I couldnt believe what was going on 2day I was quite shocked... like I said at At 12:29 pm... this is JUST agame although very addictive a game none the less.

I think that there really isnt any point in getting in2 petty bickering over it.

It is really nice to see so many people from different countries, cultures and background etc coming together and helping eachother.. Its great.

3:58 pm

COMFERT

also it needs to be remembered that children play this game and it isnt very nice for them to see. What sort of message is that sending out.

Anyway enough of the depressing stuff... Hope everyone is enjoying the game... and good luck. : ) X

5:18 pm

COMFERT
