Hi MrPres. Harp., Cybernan, Debs. Sorry, I'm knackered after running a marathon with Zubie. Wolfie did really well in it, but he's had to go off to deal with some toxic baby waste right now.

morning sprite, is that your formal wear bow tie?
12:08 am
Krys10

sprite your icon has gone formal since I've seen you last.
12:08 am
sprite

Yup, it was, from yesterday's theme ;)
Refresh and it will be gone.
Krys10, hi! Good to see you. And Norad, and mrP :)
12:09 am
Jacula

Can I just say the 'drey' IS the proper word for a squirrel's nest here in UK!?
12:09 am
Norad

I guess it could be said the fun is in the hunt...then again...it could make us nuts...
12:09 am
sprite

Hi Jac... yes you can, but it won't convince babble OR the enable dictionary :D
12:12 am
Krys10

no "sundry" - so sad
12:13 am

if you don't 'untag' something... how do you take the tag off!?

*big big hug for Woulf!*
Hi dear Woulf, how are you doing? AND the family?
12:16 am
Jacula

Well, Sprite, all the disallowed 're' and 'er' ending words are most annoying in all grids.
12:17 am
Blaze

hail and hello...... jumping right into the dance of babble

Jac... my infamous music memory friend... do you recall by chance who(m) sang the song "rock on" or blue jean queen ?? your assistance would be by appreciated to settle a family dispute.... thank you
12:17 am
Jacula

WHY do I keep seeing 'laundry' when it isn't in the grid but IS in my house??? GRRRRRR!
12:17 am
GreyWoulf

We are all doing well, sprite -- though I just got finished with one of the most toxic diapers I have ever handled -- and he isn't even 2 weeks old yet! ;D

grey... I love the black sticky ones that you can't clean off unless you use agent orange!!!

Jacula

Just found a du4/6 that is an inch thick in my house! LOL.

Wolfie - toxic, tarry nappies (what you lot Over The Pond call 'diapers') are par for the course.
12:20 am
sprite

I am really proud of him, Woulf ;)
As should you... after the vapours have gone, of course.
How is Kristen?
12:21 am
GreyWoulf

she is recovering well from the surgery, though not as quickly as she would like :)
12:21 am
sprite

Jac, that is because you can D4, but you cannot Red6. It isn't our fault! If

Blaze -- thanks to you, I have that song in my head!!! And I never remember artists so now it is driving me nuts too! :D
12:23 am
sprite

So Kirsten needs your help to keep some patience with her recovery, Woulf ;) She'll be fine in no time.
Jac, what I was typing before I got interrupted by some spontaneous posting: if we can D4 only once, we cannot help it if the house gets filthy, right?
12:23 am
Jacula

tried redu***, Sprite. Didn't work though. Damn those blasted re's!
12:24 am
Krys10

I don't even know the song you're talking about but it's gotten Bell Bottom Blues stuck in my head! Vicarious sympathy to you. :)
12:24 am
Blaze

Oh my... so sorry wolfie... I can relate it has been rattleing in mine for two days... and trying to down load it... and arguing with the house mates who is the singer... we are daft for sure...(passes champers to clear head)
12:24 am

I wanted to use relenter yesterday and the grid said no way. I mean if I relent why can't I be the relenter?
12:25 am
mrpresident

tee hee i was trying to follow the DU conversation but I was using the wrong DU - very funny but makes a lot more sense your way!!

Lol Krys1... if you mean the D4 I am looking at now, I don't want that kneedeep in my house! Not even a little bit ;)

12:31 am
harpjane

I had all the music mistakes I made yesterday in church, going around in my head. We call them brain worms. I finally got rid of them with a rousing chorus of Zipadee Doo Dah. Works every time.

speaking of music, a classical cellist just showed up on Jay Leno? Yoyo perhaps? I can't tell, my reception is terrible but the sound is great!
12:38 am
mab

harpjane, I don't have tv, but I wonder if its Matt Heimevitz (sp), since he's just had a cd out that is somewhat unusual -- I think it might be called Hungarian Goulash?

12:49 am

12:49 am

Jac, you know my answer to that crap......
12:49 am
mab

I've heard of their collaberation, harpjane. I like John Williams's film work, and of course I have an enormous crush on Yo Yo. I have the soundtrack of Shindler's List. Yitzhak Perlman plays on it..
12:50 am
Blaze

Jac... I keep seeing your laundry too.... and now widow.... I am very daft tonight...
12:53 am

12:56 am

Playing an old Scott McKenzie song for Krys now: 'Let's go to San Francisco.... flowers in their hair...etc.'

Failing that, Frankie Ole Blue Eyes? 'I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hilll...'

I'm being serenaded! How sweet :)
1:07 am
sprite

Back! Well... stealing time here, but the kids are packing now and will be on their way to school in 10 minutes. I will kiss and hug them then, but until then... the hunt goes on! I am finding this a very nasty grid.
1:08 am

That g7 is eluding me!
1:08 am
Jacula

S'a pleasure K. Any song you want, just ask!
1:08 am
tbear

sprite....seems a bit nasty...doesn't it
1:08 am
Krys10

I'm having fun with this one - have conquered the upper right hand corner of the board, must look for Nan's A6 when I finish cleaning up the office and driving home!
1:09 am
Krys10

The G7 kind of rhymes with the T6.
1:09 am
sprite

The nasty ones are always the most fun, lol. Must be something SM in me.
1:10 am
Jacula

K & Sprite - you are sadists! LOL.
1:10 am
Krys10

No no! we keep playing - we must be masochists.
1:11 am

I'd say we were on the masochistic end of the spectrum :)
1:12 am
Jacula

S&M then?:-) LOL.
1:15 am
cybernan

Ha! - got it!
1:15 am
cybernan

TY, Krys. The s 6 you are looking for is a pural.
1:16 am
Jacula

I'm glad you've got it, Cybernan. I haven't yet, though!
1:17 am
Krys10

Ack! Thanks Nan - can't believe I missed that when I had the A4 and A5!
1:17 am

1:27 am
GreyWoulf

I keep seeing custard where there isn't any, and I don't mean in my fridge :D
1:28 am
Jacula

Oh well, thanks, GW, for giving me yet another non-word to obstruct me!
1:29 am
tbear

f5/22 is a fun one
1:29 am
sprite

I think we should get extra points for every almost-there-word and every associative find.
1:30 am
Jacula

Since I'm always doing laundry, I keep seeing 'dryer'.
1:31 am
sprite

My washing machine crashed for the 2nd time in one week. :(
1:31 am
tbear

That c word should really not be allowed
1:31 am
Jacula

Sprite - indeed we should! Please have words with Dr_God.
1:32 am
sprite

I am afraid Jamie doesn't listen to me :(
1:33 am
Jacula

tbear- thanksfopr the cu word. Hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out!
1:33 am
tbear

horrid isn't it!!
1:34 am
sprite

While 'clit' isn't allowed... goes to figure. Babble is male.
1:36 am
tbear

while we're on the nether regions a4....
1:37 am
sprite

Thanks! Didn't see that one. Bowel... errr... vowel words are always harder for me.
1:37 am
Jacula

Thing is, the dictionaries on here do not mention the fact that it is an old germanic term, kunta. Once was an accepted phrase, and one that what not derogatory, as it now is..
1:38 am
tbear

Sprite so you've found your uncles wife??
1:39 am
sprite

Well, yes, but I just cannot find the 2nd E-word from the upper left E. I am a little over halfway and already am using the stats panel, this is BAD!
1:40 am
tbear

Only have e4/6 from that corner Sprite
1:40 am
sprite

I've got the newts. Argh!
1:40 am
Jacula

Sprite - ou are the No.1 Babbler. You can't say that!
1:41 am
sprite

tbear: mine is E4/7! Together we have them both then.
1:42 am
Jacula

You mean you don't do the words without clues, BJ, the stats panel?
1:42 am
sprite

Jac, I claim the right to be stupid, blonde, thick and very dumb every day!
1:42 am
GreyWoulf

tbear & sprite - they both have the same start and end
1:43 am
sprite

Jac: I start without, then, when I get really stuck, which is today halfway, but usually a little later (LOL), I use the stats panel. And clues and hints in the log I use as soon as they appear :)
1:43 am

Thanks Woulf, will look. I want 'ents' but babble doesn't like Tolkien.

1:45 am
Jacula

Wolfie - what are you doing back here? YOu should be sleeping.

There again, I do reallly HATE IT when people who don't really know me tell me when I should be asleep or awake...
1:46 am
GreyWoulf

I always jump at the chance to clue you, sprite! ;D
1:46 am
sprite

LOL Woulf! I am far more often clueless than you think! :)
1:48 am
tbear

r4 communists
1:49 am
Jacula

That being the case, Sprite, how did you get to be No. 1 Babbler?
1:49 am
GreyWoulf

The prob, Jac, is that Seb is not sleeping -- his lethal nappie seems to have overstimulated him -- he is resting over my heart now, but is not out... and will most likely be hungry again fairly soon
1:50 am
sprite

Pure coincidence, Jac.
Woulf... what a sweet image does that paint in my mind! Babbling with Sebastian on your heart... creating a new addict so very early in life! You are a great dad.
1:52 am
sprite

Eh? Remove a tag from something... that should be valid, right?
1:53 am
Jacula

Wolfie - do you have a webcam and mic?
1:53 am
tbear

no sprite....don't think so...nice try tho
1:54 am
GreyWoulf

Jac -- I wish I did -- would make sharing so much easier :)

He finally dropped off so I put him in the bassinet here in the living room with me -- I expect him to be up in about an hour wanting his next meal :)
1:55 am
Jacula

Oh heck! We're not off on the old 're' search again, are we? Have no botheration for that right now. fu4/13 it for now.

Darn! It won't take cudzu! Isn't that the plant that grows uncontrollably in the southern US?
1:55 am

Right....not even half way....it's outrageous. Back later...happy babbling folks :)
1:55 am

Nope... we were on the 'un' search. But close.

2:00 am

If there is a un word there is only one -- the other u word does not begin with un.
2:01 am
sprite

Neither of them is 'un'.
I do have some "re"s though.
2:01 am
cybernan

un4: without help minus the last letter
2:02 am
sprite

LOL, you are right. It is 'un' but not in the meaning of "not".
2:06 am

Finally got the last e on the bottom. It's a stupidhead word. e4/8

2:15 am
cybernan

It's the f 6 that I'm missing (had 2 a's)
2:17 am
sprite

Charcoal stick or drawing made with that.
Start with making a problem, loose last letter, then connect with a holy person and loose last letter again.
2:18 am
Krys10

hello back again. Thanks for all the hints while I was vacuuming :)
2:19 am

Welcome back, Krys! That was a smart move, vacuuming :)

Hi everyone,
thanks for the ga7 clue, Hydra.
It also gave me the ga4 & 5 that I hadn't spotted.
5:14 am
lshult

the er7 still eludes me despite Mad's clue?
5:15 am
mad

weather conditions cause it
I'm sure the ga 7 is staring me in the face but I'm not seeing it!!
5:16 am
trishtrash

ish, what wind and water are doing to the shoreline (and what this grid is doing to my brain ;)

mad, ga+ last vowel+ sounds like where cows are milked
5:17 am
Dianne

lshutt - think of somethin wearing away. Same ending as the Re7.
5:18 am
lshult

got it, it was the obvious ending that was hiding from me!!
5:18 am
lshult

Still 53 words to go, but at least all the 7's are done!!
5:18 am
brandyjack

I kept trying to use the ion before i realised that the 'ION' wasn't even there.
5:19 am

I had the same problem - and when I first looked at the grid I said that that would be a good ending for any biggies - DUH, then I forgot about it.
5:19 am

My littlest was trying her hardest to be sick, too. The thought of her older sister staying home was almost enough to make her that way. She took her temperature about seven times. LOL.

Nice icon, hursh!!!
10:00 am
hurshy

and who's the red-and-white one under babbler?
10:00 am
ch1212

He was like that at first, smithchick -- he even went online and found (apparently) the software program brandyjack uses, trying to convince me to use it. I refused to stop playing, or to use it. So... he figured better to join me. We have a lap top and wireless he uses, and play on weekends together.

So many players here read science fiction and fantasy. I wonder if that's because those are very popular genres, or if this site attracts those readers, or if it's a coincidence. I don't read either (never could make it through even Tolkien).

LOL ch1212!
True!! You know, we should have a breeding program at the same time as our convention. get some new DNA in the idaho/montana mix

The new one is Memory In Death.

ch1212

mab, you have a point. I went to a Catholic seminary for awhile (the token female, I think) and by FAR the most popular genre for leisure time reading was science fiction and fantasy. I wondered about it too. Of course, not too much, because I'm a huge SF fan too.

I like fiction that is set in regular human time with human characters, for the most part. Call me crazy....

I'm reading 'Emotionally Weird' by Kate Atkinson. British writer, very story-tellerish, about families, relationships. She's brilliant - funny, complex. 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum' is one of my favorite books.

I'm not a big reader of science fiction usually, but my sister had me read a J.D. Robb book, and I really liked it. Good character development. I like reading series because I'm usually not ready to be done with a character if he/she is really well written.

smith-have you tried any of the "mysteries" by Roger Tannebaum? (Can never remember if it's 2 n's or 1) There quite a long series of them with Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi and I find the characters wonderful. The auther was a DA in Ny for a long time, writes quite well, very witty, but they are characters you can sink your teeth into and if you start from the earliest one you can read your way through many years.

I've tried nearly every msn zone game! Was addicted to Zuma for awhile. I like the utterly brainless ones that only require quich reflexes, which, by the way, I don't have, but I think it's good for me to improve in that area.

In the little customer reviews of games, some kid complained he could never get past level 8 on Luxor. I consider myself very fortunate to get past level 2!

I majored in sociology. My first experience with Stats was at BYU. The teacher there wouldn't let you use a calculator and all of your formulas had to be memorized. I got a D (very traumatic). I took it again and that instructor said, "You'll never be thrown into a Turkish prison and forced to recite statistics formulas. If you are going to be doing statistics, you'll have access to a calculator and formulas. The next year, I was his grad assistant in statistics.

yeah, i am very specific about what i expect students to memorize and what i don't. multiplication tables, yes. integral tables, NO. :)

caitlyn - i think that is one of the biggest problems - people are just AFRAID of math - i tell my students not to be - that it is very sensible stuff, that it is meant to be understood and if your brain is at all decent then you will be able to do it.

A bit of math psychology (in retrospect):

I do believe that some people have a greater aptitude for logical thinking than others -- unfortunately the orderly mind necessary for mathematics is not mine.
However -- conditioning is important! -- or should I say the wrong conditioning? -- I had a mother who was continually saying that she was never any good at math either, so as a child I took notion that girls were no good at math -- an idea that surely affected my performance and attention in class. Also, query, query, query -- if you don't understand ask the teacher why? -- I never did, until I needed a tutor at university because I couldn't understand the "new math" I was expected to teach. For the first time, I understood algebra rather than memorizing it.

12:08 pm

Me too, Deutsch. I was going to say hubby is away so I can fu** all I want, then realized that may be misconstrued!
12:08 pm
Deutsch

evanadine, I once asked for 7 niches of gold and got a beautiful diamond cut gold bracelet!
12:08 pm
EvaNadine

ive got NO idea what the BF is planning...all i know is that hes working with some woman on my bday gift and with some guy on my vday gift...hehe

which reminds me, im still clueless for his vday gift!
12:08 pm
bunnyvicious

Eva, so close to Valentines too! Your poor boyfriend! My husband has it bad too, my b-day is Xmas Eve.
12:08 pm

Mine is two days after Christmas. Always hated it.

Just sayin'....
12:09 pm

Then join the forgotten club smith, Leslie is on Xmas Eve as well, we'll never have a birthday again!
12:10 pm
EvaNadine

not as bad as an xmas bday (my brothers is a week before xmas) but mine is just 5 days before vday, so the poor BF keeps complaining about that...heh
12:11 pm
smithchick

Oh, I don't know. Now that I'm married. I play up the poor, pitiful me card and gently, tearfully suggest that he can get me a really extravagant gift and it can be for Christmas, B-day and Ann.(Feb. 5). Sometimes it works.
12:12 pm
bunnyvicious

The last V-Day present I got was salt free salt, house shoes, and coco butter lotion when I was preggers with the twins, that was four years ago....
12:13 pm
EvaNadine

last year the BF bought me a gorgeous heart-shaped necklace with 3 diamonds on the heart itself + 3 diamonds on the part that hangs off the chain...its a "past, present, future" kinda thing...

since he gave it to me, ive only taken it off, maybe, 5 times...
12:14 pm
smithchick

Hubby usually gets me flowers and maybe some chocolate. Or just chocolate (depending on status of finances at time).
12:14 pm
bunnyvicious

I felt like the girl in the well on Silence of the Lambs!
12:15 pm
bunnyvicious

Believe it or not, I don't like jewelry, I feel like it's a waste of money. But with all the kids, it could be better spent on ANYTHING! I'm allergic to chocolate..I'm hard to shop for !
12:15 pm
Deutsch

Poor bunny!
12:15 pm
smithchick

How sweet, evanadine. Mine is romantic about once every four or five years. This year he got me 18 red roses for our 18th anniversary, so he won't be due again for a while. They were gorgeous. And.... he didn't get them at Wal-Mart or Pricecutter!
12:16 pm
smithchick

Dang, that is hard. I LOVE!!! jewelry. I usually decide what I want and have my mother or sister/s gently suggest to hubby what to get me. Sound strategy.
12:16 pm
bunnyvicious

Ahhh, how sweet...might e-mail this chat log to husband...
12:17 pm
smithchick

They need all the help they can get (that's been my experience, anyway). It's not like you want a tractor or anything easy like that.
12:18 pm
EvaNadine

im not huge on jewelry either, but that was our first vday, so he was trying to make a big impression, im sure. plus, he just got me diamond earrings for christmas!
i told him a diamond ring had better be the next piece of jewelry he gets me...hehe

normally i prefer to smaller, more heartfelt stuff -- last vday i gave him a gorgeous leather journal with a list of 101 reasons why i love him.
:)
12:18 pm
Schroeder

Gifts....people get gifts from their husbands...I must be have done something wrong. He took me to Montery about 20 years ago for Vday but of course we were dating then.....*sigh*

Monterey?!? I only got Red Lobster, with coupons! It's ok, he loves me very much and tells me all the time, good enough for me! He will go get a present on his own for all of the kids on their birthday instead of leaving me to shop. He even does dishes!
12:21 pm
Haz1558

You're missing au 5/14
12:22 pm
smithchick

Bummer, Schroeder. My dad never gets my mother gifts, either. Now that I'm older, I make him give me money and I get her stuff from him. Of course she knows I got it (or one of my sisters) but he isn't gonna change anytime soon. Or, she gets her own dang self something.
12:22 pm
smithchick

Thanks, haz. In the immortal words of Kathy Mattea, Where've you been?
12:22 pm
Schroeder

Yeah your right bunny, got a love a man who does dishes....I got one of those, he even cooks (I think only because he wants to eat and I work to much)
12:23 pm
bunnyvicious

the last five g's are eluding me... any help on the big one?
12:23 pm
Haz1558

I've been cleaning, dog walking etc - filling in some time now before husband comes home from evening surgery.
12:24 pm
EvaNadine

in all my other relationships (the longest being a whopping 7 months...hehe) i was the one who was always making the efforts...

but the BF now does everything for me and i feel so bad sometimes because i never do enough for him...he is SO wonderful. and this one has been around over a year + a half now!
12:24 pm
Uneaixoise

oh, haz, is that a brittany?
12:24 pm
smithchick

LeslieAnn gave a good clue for the ga7 at 12:02.
12:24 pm
bunnyvicious

I do it to myself anyway, he'll ask what I want and I'll say nothing...he thinks I really mean it!
12:25 pm
bunnyvicious

That's a good stretch Eva! Maybe you're getting a "special" ring pretty soon!
12:25 pm
Haz1558

No, Spangle is a Welsh Springer Spaniel - they're a lovely rusty colour.
12:26 pm

He did a little better this year for x-mas smithchick, he got me shoes.....wrong size....but at least he tried
12:27 pm
Uneaixoise

so precious! Spaniels are so sweet and adorable--I grew up with cockers and spingers--had a springer for 16 years and a cocker up till 2002 . . . now have switched to adopting shelter dogs and am loving them too!
12:27 pm
EvaNadine

we talk about it all the time!
i was actually kinda surprised i didnt get one for xmas...hehe...but i do think hes saving his pennies!
and we are in the workings of moving in together...
between the two of us, my 2 cats, and his 3 cats and tankful of fish, its gonna be a full house!!

Are you a player? And no you don't... who wants melon sized boobs and a big butt? LOL
12:28 pm
dl88

if some of you just got your significant others hooked on babble they could pick up a few ideas.....
12:29 pm
DarleenMB

oh wait ... that would be JLo
12:29 pm
bunnyvicious

UMMM...me? Got the butt part down, lol!
12:29 pm
EvaNadine

well, i already have the big butt...haha...i wouldnt mind the small waist + tons of toned muscles though!!

i dont play the game anymore, though in college i used to play the videogame with some friends...we made it a team effort -- my job was to yell out "YETI!!" whenever i saw one...haha
12:29 pm
DarleenMB

Is it just me or is this one B**** of a grid?
12:30 pm
bunnyvicious

dl88, would have to teach him to spell first! He would give monkey typing a whole new meaning!
12:30 pm
DarleenMB

Oh I am HOOKED. I have all 6 games and have played them each at least 6 times. I LOVE IT. I hear there's a 7th in the wings ... I can hardly wait.
12:30 pm
Schroeder

Lol dl88...but then they would know to much other stuff
12:30 pm
bunnyvicious

Yup it is Dar, that darn "U"!
12:31 pm
bunnyvicious

What game is it?
12:31 pm
dl88

I guess my wife should feel blessed that I can at least spell!! LOL
12:31 pm
smithchick

What's wrong with melon-sized boobs and a big butt? Hmm?
12:31 pm
EvaNadine

im really no good at those action games where things can sneak up behind you -- i get SO addicted, but then i get all stressed and frustrated...
kinda defies the point of playing...hehe
12:31 pm
DarleenMB

bunny ... you talkin' to me? Tomb Raider
12:31 pm
EvaNadine

bunny -- its my icon for today -- lara croft from Tomb Raider
12:32 pm

smithchick... um. nothing if you can make all your own clothes? Not that MY backside is small, just you know, commenting???
12:32 pm
smithchick

dl88 has been lurking making us think it is safe to share our secrets. Shame on you, dl88!!
12:32 pm
DarleenMB

evanadine... I'm so addicted to Tomb Raider... when I play I find myself physically leaning across the desk to try and see around the corners, LOL. Man is that sad or what??
12:33 pm
smithchick

Well, what you do is grow your waist so that it is in proportion. Duh...
12:33 pm
EvaNadine

hah, im the same way!!

the only action game i ever really got into was Gauntlet -- i was a wizardess + the more power i got, the bigger my boobs got...haha...
i liked that game cause you could have up to 4 people playing at once, which was fun.
12:34 pm
bunnyvicious

smith, didn't know there was a man among us, oops! I haven't played Croft, but I got a new Lord of the Rings I like alot, and Final Fantasy or Fantasy Star. DOn't get to play much and there are so many!
12:34 pm
dl88

the conversation has been very entertaing and people are wondering why I am laughing at my computer. I am leaving now that I am done and FYI, I am making my wife and kids a VD dinner on sat and have a msaage scheduled for her on Sunday afternoon
12:34 pm
DarleenMB

LOL. I only played Gauntlet on those machines? And not for very long. Hubby was addicted big time. he and a friend would hit the bar just to play it.
12:34 pm
smithchick

Okay, dl88. I love you! What a good hubby. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!
12:35 pm

12:35 pm
DarleenMB

Hubby really likes Oni but I can't quite get into it. I got half way through American McGee's Alice (VERY strange game) and have a stack waiting to be played. I'm just stuck on TR.
12:36 pm

Bye dl88!!! What a sweetie :)

Hi musicmom, I'm finishing the last load of laundry even as we speak.

Ours is piled up like crazy. This past week has been nuts!

Sorry Smith, don't have that one yet. I literally just sat down here.

Never mind. Just figured it out. Now I'm down to one d5. Have no idea what it is. Monkey-typing to commence.
12:38 pm

au 5/14 - ends like the st 6/24, has to do with sound
12:40 pm
EvaNadine

actually thought about getting a gaming system for my home just so i could play gauntlet...then i remembered that i would never get anything else done....EVER....
hehe
12:41 pm

What am I missing? da5/12, da5/14 x2, do5/12, do5/16 and dy5/16
12:41 pm
musicmom

It's funny. We have a PS2 - ostensibly for the kids. But, my husband and I play it more than they do. I don't like strategy games or role playing though. I love racing games, word games and sports sims. I also love DDR but we don't have it.
12:42 pm
bunnyvicious

Music, are there some good word games for the PS2?
12:42 pm
Haz1558

There's another do5/12
12:43 pm
musicmom

Bunny I 'll have to check that out. Although, since I found Babble, I hardly have time for any other game<G> I have got to get faster at solving these grids.
12:43 pm
EvaNadine

i think thats part of why i like gauntlet -- there are different levels in different worlds, so you can approach it just as a one-time kinda game...
but then there is this over-arching plot, so you can play it that way too...

and if you play it with different characters, they have different powers which totally changes how you play...
12:43 pm
smithchick

My girls got DDR for Christmas last year. I've not played it. We got a PS2 last year (hubby wanted to get it as a "family" gift- and if I just happened to want to get him a game to play on it, these are the three he wants- oh and a joystick). He bought me scrabble or something for it, but I never wanted to wait in line.
12:44 pm
smithchick

Thanks, haz. I'll search it out.
12:45 pm
musicmom

Smth that is the beauty of my day. Last week not withstanding, sometimes I can play while everyone else is at work and school<G>

Yea! Smithchick!

12:46 pm
musicmom

way to go Smith!
12:47 pm
smithchick

Ty, ty very much...
12:47 pm
musicmom

Hey smith --- the best thing is the classic looks on their faces when they get home and you are playing .... and they have to wait for you to finish your level to get a snack, look at their project etc. etc. Really turns the tables, heheh
12:49 pm
bunnyvicious

I miss the original nintendo, I loved LoLo, Yoshi Cookie, Dr. Mario.... so many puzzle games.
12:49 pm

12:49 pm

Finally got back, but judging by all the chat, no one needs any clues, so I'll be on my way until the flip. :)

Speaking of picking up the kids, it is about that time. I hope to be back later this evening. Have a great day,evening, morning, whatever everyone!

hey - anyone who's finished and needs more boggle-like fun should try playing letter linker. it is in a way easier than babble because it doesn't have many words people have never heard of. BUT there's no brandyjack to help you out, and when you can't get a word it's MORE frustrating than in babble because you realize it probably IS a word you know, so you can't say to yourself "oh well, it's probably something wacky like 'fuvid'".

I am lucky so far that Kristianna has not gotten into that stage with videos yet -- now, when it comes to online flash animation, that is a different story altogether ;D
10:11 pm
GreyWoulf

This is how I relax, pbr -- Seb is sleeping in my lap as I type -- he will be wanting food in about an hour or so, which means I am not going anywhere :)
10:12 pm
GreyWoulf

hopefully, he won't have the same gas issues tonight -- that was why he was up so late last night -- he needed to get it out of his system and then I had to hold him over my heart to lull him to sleep because he was so wound up

You're welcome! Just returning the favor, for the many, many, many....many, many times I've received some assistance. In fact, my icon is a conglomeration of my favorite 'characters' names from Babble. Couldn't get everyone who usually helps with clues, but there are several.
