2:12 am

sprite

Ha Temple Owl :)
Welcome Chrisrbailey, enjoy the game :) And join the gang here, who never stops wondering about the insanity of the babble dictionary.
MrP, I am down to 12 now. And nowhere to go, of course.

2:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i'm enjoying looking at all of those looong words i have yet to find : D

2:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i bow to the master...89 left for later on...

2:14 am

sprite

Owl, they are all nice today! No stupidhead words, to quote Griffs.

2:14 am

chrisrbailey

Thanks. It's 12:13am here, and now I find I'm addicted to this new game. Hmm, how late to stay up...

2:14 am

sprite

The biggies I mean. Some stupidhead words among the smaller ones, though.

2:14 am

mrpresident

sprite, what do you need sweetie! I can help I am sure!

2:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmm ...where is griffs?

2:15 am

sprite

Lol chrisr... don't we know. Too addictive, this game.

2:16 am

sprite

Griffs can't play much, her body is still in too much pain. Hops by occasionally.
mrP, thanks for the offer! I will struggle on a little bit, but I will yell for help before I go completely bananas. Of course I still need Ks. Did I ever mention I hate K-words?

2:17 am

72 Temple Owl

well it if after 3am here...mr p, you will seehow grumpy i am at work shortly : D

2:17 am

72 Temple Owl

what's up with griffs? i have one k word...

2:17 am

lshult

I may not be American, but even I know that "smore" is a word!?!

2:18 am

mrpresident

LOL Sprite - you have protested the K's from day dot!!

2:19 am

sprite

Griffs has been in an accident, caused by a stupid lady who raced through a red light and then declared Griffs was at fault, for hitting her car. The judge set the crazy lady right, but that doesn't mend Griffs injuries. Hope she will be better soon, really missing having her around.

2:20 am

chrisrbailey

how do I get the little flag by my name? Do I have to have a Pro account?

2:20 am

sprite

:D mr P. So I did, didn't I... must have blocked it from memory. Every time. ;)

2:20 am

72 Temple Owl

if you do see her, please tell her i wish her well
i think i'm going to bed now- happy babbling!

2:21 am

sprite

Sleep well, Owl! We will tell Griffs when she comes online again :)

2:21 am

mrpresident

yes chris! and worth it if you like to stay up until 5 in the morning and reduce yourself to a zombie, and orphan your children and widow your partner.... ;))

2:21 am

sprite

Chrisr: yes, the flag is part of the profile and can be obtained by becoming pro.

2:22 am

sprite

LOL mrP!!!!
And so true...

2:23 am

sprite

Okay, I give up. I have Ki4/8 and 2 x Ko4/8. What am I missing please? My brain goes mushy as soon as there are K-words in sight.

2:23 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't like i s much, either...

2:24 am

Boysaway

ke4/10

2:24 am

sprite

Vowel words are usually tougher as well, I agree. Still I wonder what makes those K-words so elusive.

2:25 am

sprite

Oh darn! Boysaway, thanks!
*bows head in deep shame*

2:29 am

sandyloo

welcome to babble chris and you should stay up im in australia and i need company usually only have pres

2:30 am

chrisrbailey

I just hooked my wife on it too :)

2:32 am

Jacula

Hiya all. Early here in UK, esp, when you've not slept!

Elton John's 'Your Song' is playing on my jukebox right now - a song of teenaged and, well, thinking about it, any aged love. Enjpy as you do the grid.

2:33 am

Jacula

And, don't forget, the song IS all about putting things down in words.

2:35 am

sprite

Chrisr, that is about the smartest thing you can do, lol. Both addicted... no nagging :)

2:35 am

Jacula

Incidentally, Bernie Taupin waas responsible for the words Give a hand and some respect the the lyricist.

2:35 am

mrpresident

So true sprit!

Hi Jac!
Hi Sandy!

2:35 am

chrisrbailey

no nagging, but then again, no, uh, going to bed

2:36 am

chrisrbailey

wife says stop chatting, oops

2:36 am

Jacula

Hiya. 200+ grid - a bit rough for A Wednesday!

2:36 am

sprite

Chrisr, there are some nice O7/40 to celebrating finishing the grid, though. :)

2:37 am

chrisrbailey

heh, ya, got that :)

2:37 am

sprite

*celebrate

2:37 am

Jacula

Chris - take your wife's advice and snuggle up to her.

2:38 am

sprite

The grid will still be here when you get up again. :)

2:39 am

sandyloo

wow i just changed my icon to hicory dickory dock icon
wonders will never cease it worked!!

2:39 am

chrisrbailey

Does it tell you if you actually get all the words? (I'm only at 56, so I know I'm not even close, but curious)

2:40 am

sandyloo

tomorrrow all will be revealed

2:40 am

mrpresident

chris, go to angelsongs page under the friends of babble list on the right side of this page... it has stats in the link

2:41 am

mrpresident

btw... 267 words today

2:42 am

sprite

There's no fanfare when you finish a grid. You only know you have all by looking at the total and comparing to the stats, either in the Pro stats panel or on one of the help pages (Angelsong's or Babblers Anonymous, see links).
If you click "view yesterday's puzzle" tomorrow, you can see all the words listed with one of the people who finished.

2:44 am

sandyloo

chris if you are still here it is mandatory to stay up til 3am

2:46 am

mrpresident

Australian time!

2:47 am

Jacula

Sprite, finishers do get *~*~*~FIREWORKS*~*~*~*~, best we can do if a certain group of Babble Pros are around.

2:47 am

sprite

Actually, you can babble any time at all and you will find always some other addicts hanging in there, fighting sleep or insomnia, ready to chat and share clues. It's a wonderful (though totally crazy) gang here.

2:48 am

sandyloo

er i dont think its australian time press just yankee doodle time!! lol

2:48 am

sprite

True, Jacula, the gang will give you fireworks, if they are there! :)

2:49 am

sandyloo

just watch out for exploding computors

2:50 am

ExWren

267 words? I don't think so!

2:51 am

sprite

ExWren: I agree. There are 266, one R4 is just NOT there.

2:52 am

Jacula

Ex-Wren - Stand up and be counted! If I can find 77 words in 10 mins after no sleep, then you can find 267 in 24 hours...

2:53 am

Jacula

Soundtrack to the Babgrid is now Elton John's Goobye Yellow Brick Road. LOL.

2:53 am

sandyloo

jac we are not all as smart or beautiful as you!!

2:56 am

Jacula

Sandy - in my eyes, I am neither smart nor beautiful. Now get on with the grid woman! I will give clues when askewd, provided I've found the words in question,

2:56 am

sprite

ExWren: correction, it is there too. 267, 3914 points. Better do some sudoku now, lol. Have fun guys, happy hunting. Any clues needed atm?

2:57 am

mrpresident

sprite gets

*~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

2:58 am

Boysaway

ra8 sprite?

2:59 am

sprite

Boys: as if it itches.

3:00 am

ExWren

You are just showing off now, sprite. Not only finished a 267 grid already, but reckons you can do sudoku. (still not sure if I can spell it)

3:01 am

Boysaway

not seeing it : (

3:01 am

sprite

Lol ExWren. Actually, the sudoku is easier. Straightforward logic. I managed to get off the habit, but now that Dr_God introduced the iron sudoku site, I fear I am hooked again.

3:02 am

Jacula

ExWreb - ditto what you just typed. Sprite - when I finally meet you I will buy you a drink and gve you a hug, but I may have to slap you for being no. 1 Babbler AND doi ng the soduko!

3:02 am

Boysaway

Got it!

3:03 am

sprite

Ra8 - compound.
First part is skin addiction that itches. Second part is 'prefer'.

3:04 am

Boysaway

any clues for the sh8?

3:04 am

sprite

LOL! Let's have that drink and then play together, both babble and sudoku. Much nicer than slapping, especially since I would be on the receiving end of that.

3:05 am

sprite

Boys: it rhymes with the P7 and L7.

3:05 am

mrpresident

sprite, is lickety falling apart yet. He has started 3 times at sudoku now!
How do they give clues in there?

3:05 am

Boysaway

Thanks sprite

3:06 am

Jacula

Sprite - that sound good to me.xxxx

3:07 am

sprite

Lickety is okay, but we both are having a tough time with this one. Clues are hard to give. But it is possible to point people to the easier numbers, or a line of thinking and reasoning.

3:09 am

mrpresident

Sprite, he has never done one of those puzzles until a few days back, and now his head is completely filled with numbers!!

3:11 am

sprite

It is a beautiful and elegant game, that sudoku. He will be the better for another kind of mind training, lol. No way any of us will become senile before our time. Too much brain gymnastics.

3:12 am

sandyloo

i have to say since i began playing tangle a year ago i really feel that my brain is working better

3:13 am

sandyloo

pres have they started the opening ceremony yet?

3:13 am

sprite

My grandparents did all kinds of puzzles until very late in life and they were as bright as ever, even when they were in their 80s and 90s.

3:14 am

sandyloo

well that is a good enough reason for me to keep playing for ever

3:14 am

mrpresident

sandy, not yet, preliminary crap then it starts at 8.30 (6.30 for you)

3:16 am

sprite

Same goes for me :)
Also, they were never into sports, but they walked. Every day, a stroll or a larger trip. That kept them healthy and rather fit for a very long time. They are my big examples in life :)

3:24 am

Jacula

Having gone through my beloved Dad succumbing to Alzheimer's (senile dementia) - anything that helps us stop our brains mushing is fine by me!

3:27 am

Jacula

He as the brightest, kindest and most intelligent man I evrer knew. It wasn't fair that he got zapped in his early 70s. But life isn't fair, never was.

3:27 am

sprite

Hears to that, Jac! I am off, happy hunting to you all and thanks for the company and help :)

3:28 am

sprite

Must have been a sad time, Jac. I am really sorry. (((Jac)))

3:28 am

Jacula

Cheers Sprite.x

3:31 am

Karys

thats sad Jac....specially Dads they are always so strong and clever all our lives it's hard to see them otherwise.

3:31 am

Jacula

How is 'mosh' not a word? Has the Enable dictionary never been to a rock concert?

3:32 am

Karys

and... why isn't 'romany' ?

3:33 am

mrpresident

I ask the same of ragers ... they are a type of party people

3:34 am

Karys

yes....tried that too MrP

3:34 am

Jacula

Karyas - I think it must be one ogf the hardest things of all to witness. I wish I could get over seeing it. He'd want me to. I think he sent me Paul to help me, even before he'd gone in the bodily sense.

3:35 am

Karys

this is it Jac....you know what you should do...and it's easy for people to say so....but not quite so easy to do....but hang in there x

3:37 am

chrisrbailey

calling it a night at a measly 84 words, but hey, it's a start (for a first timer :), and of course I'll have to keep going in the morning.

3:38 am

Jacula

I will do, Karys.xx

Incidenally, just found 2 'sm' words re one of m 'vices'. Chimney words. LOL.

3:38 am

Karys

well done there chris.....best of luck with the rest !!

3:39 am

Karys

thanks for that Jac....hadn't got them...3 altogether

3:39 am

Jacula

Well done, Chris, I'm 'an old Pro' and I've only got 90 so far.

3:40 am

Karys

3:40 am

chrisrbailey

sheehs, I truly am addicted, I thought I was going to bed, but had to find a few more :)

3:41 am

Jacula

'Bye Karys.

Chris - LOL. It happens to the best of us.;-)

3:59 am

mrpresident

Jacula

*#*#*#*#FIREWORKS FOR MRP*~*~*~*~&

mrpresident

4:09 am

mrpresident

But... the Aboriginal theme is wonderful... it looks great!

4:14 am

Jacula

Is it the commonwealth games you're talking about, MrP?

4:17 am

mrpresident

yep, and here come England!!

4:18 am

mrpresident

I didn't know that Cyprus was a country of the commonwealth!

4:25 am

Haz1558

Since 1961 after achieving independence, apparently.

4:26 am

Blaze

It sounds like the piece in the Olympics about Canada...

4:37 am

Jacula

Greek and Turkish Cypriots share many customs but maintain distinct identities based on religion, language, and close ties with their respective motherlands. Greek is predominantly spoken in the south, Turkish in the north. English is widely used. Cyprus has a well-developed system of primary and secondary education. The majority of Cypriots earn their higher education at Greek, Turkish, British, or American universities. Private colleges and state-supported universities have been developed by both the Turkish and Greek communities.

4:38 am

Blaze

Jac you are a wealth of knowledge....

4:41 am

Jacula

Cypriot culture is among the oldest in the Mediterranean. By 3700 BC, the island was well-inhabited, a crossroads between East and West. The island fell successively under Assyrian, Egyptian, Persian, Greek, and Roman domination. For 800 years, beginning in AD 364, Cyprus was ruled by Byzantium. After brief possession by Richard the Lion-Hearted during the Crusades, the island came under Frankish control in the late 12th century. It was ceded to the Venetian Republic in 1489 and conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1571.

4:49 am

Jacula

The Ottomans applied the millet system to Cyprus, which allowed religious authorities to govern their own
non-Muslim minorities. This system reinforced the position of the Orthodox Church and the cohesion of the ethnic Greek population. Most of the Turks who settled on the island during the 3 centuries of Ottoman rule remained when control of Cyprus--although not sovereignty--was ceded to Great Britain in 1878. Many, however, left for Turkey during the 1920s. The island was annexed formally by the U.K. in 1914 at the outbreak of World War I and became a crown colony in 1925.
Cyprus gained its independence from the U.K. in 1960, after an anti-British campaign by the Greek Cypriot EOKA (National Organization of Cypriot Fighters), a guerrilla group which desired political union with Greece, or enosis. Archbishop Makarios, a charismatic religious and political leader, was elected president.

4:51 am

Jacula

History lesson over. LOL.

4:52 am

Haz1558

Jacula- any knowledge I have of Cyprus was gained from O-level study of Lawrence Durrell's 'Bitter Lemons'. I re-read it recently and was amused by all my earnest note-taking.

4:53 am

Jacula

Haz - But at least you know something about the place.

4:54 am

Haz1558

You mean that you didn't have all the information below stored in your head?

4:54 am

Jacula

Speaking of Greek islands, I'm off to Crete in July.:-)

4:55 am

Haz1558

It'll be HOT!

4:55 am

lshult

4:55 am

Jacula

Haz - I know! I didn't choose the time. P's Dad did.

4:56 am

mrpresident

4:56 am

Haz1558

Air-conditioning just might save your life!

4:58 am

Jacula

5:07 am

Haz1558

5:07 am

Jacula

Lo - I can't even do the quick soduko in The d/Mail! No even going to try the 'iron' version,

5:08 am

Jacula

And it is spelled s-o-d --?? Sodit. LOL.

5:09 am

Haz1558

Jacula - I am no suduko expert by any means and yet yesterday I managed to do the 'expert' puzzle in Iron Suduko. Either the classifications are wrong, or I just happened to hit the right buttons.

5:09 am

lola100

see you later haz : )

Haz1558

Okay, let's see if Little Miss Muffet looks any better. I have fond memories of my eldest daughter reciting this, putting huge emphasis on the 'there came a big SPIDER...... and frightened Miss Muffet AWAYYYYYYY.'

6:02 am

movieman

That's much better, Haz.......

6:02 am

lola100

the fork ran away with the spoon : )

6:05 am

Haz1558

The first icon had been in honour of my younger daughter, aged about 2, who confused me one day by saying 'Sing quite and tewwy.' I didn't know what she meant, but she kept insisting, ever more loudly 'Sing quite and tewwy!' Finally her sister said 'She wants us to sing, Mary, Mary, quite contrary.'

6:06 am

sandyloo

lola i love your icon lol mine is hickory dickory

6:06 am

Boysaway

6:06 am

faeriekae

6:06 am

movieman

lola - "The little dog laughed, to see such fun",
"And the dish ran away with the spoon"....

6:07 am

faeriekae

Boysaway - I started with the a's and I'm making my way through the list so I have no ph words....

6:07 am

sandyloo

too many to ask thanks faerie

6:07 am

faeriekae

Movieman-the dish and the spoon had a thing going on.

6:08 am

Boysaway

6:10 am

sandyloo

angel i read your page well done!!! the last para was a bit high brow for me tho the rest was great!

6:10 am

Angelsong

hi, faerie, movieman, mrp...others!

6:11 am

mrpresident

Hi angel... got your page! Thank you very much!!

6:11 am

Angelsong

MrP, how goes it with your new Babble page?

6:11 am

sandyloo

well press what did u think of the opening

6:12 am

mrpresident

I had to move the index1 page over into images folder to see the images, otherwise, it is wonderful...!

It is now a link to Babble for me!

6:12 am

faeriekae

Bye the way - I'm getting all sorts of email of people saying they are or are not wanting to have a babble convention...What is up with that....I had at least 5 yesterday.

6:14 am

faeriekae

Something about meeting in fairfax or someplace like that.....I don't have a clue.

6:14 am

Angelsong

or you could have simply moved the images in the images folder into the folde4r with the index page..I just put the images into a folder for convenience, so I would be able to ensure I had them all.

6:14 am

mrpresident

Sandy, it was crap, I hated the beginning... overrated circus act with stupid koalas rowing on a thong? Come on!!
The ballerinas with the motorbikes?? What the...??
The best part was the indigenous theme! That was impressive.
Delta Goodrem, well, that was a given! She was very good though.
The singing to the queen! Give me a break! That woman has a 'birthday' everyday around the world in some country or another! That was stupid in my opinion.
Otherwise, the athletes looked great!

6:16 am

mrpresident

Angel, it was lovely! Thank you so much! Alot of lovely work went into that page and it will be well used and cherished!! Thanks again!

6:17 am

lola100

faerie, there was talk of the UK babblers getting together this summer (see babs anon), and it got some of the US players interested in having one too. Don't know why you are getting emails though : /

6:17 am

Angelsong

I even did it in purple, MrP :) I'm happy you enjoy it.

6:18 am

mrpresident

fairie, did you become a member of babbler 4 dummies?

6:18 am

faeriekae

It is strange Lola - they are coming from people I've never heard of....Its the Babblers for Dummies thing. I may have to put a block in my mail.

6:19 am

faeriekae

MrP - Yes - stupid mistake I supose.

6:19 am

mrpresident

I love it Angel! It is very well done. Lickety and I are avid admirers for life!!

6:19 am

sandyloo

pres i agree and i liked the indigenous section i always think that it is all a bit of a bore i loved seeing the athletes and i cried all the way through our national anthem as usual

6:20 am

Angelsong

faerie, there is a way to fix it. Go to the group, check your mail preferences and reset them to only read msgs on the group board/site.

lianakate

6:42 am

faeriekae

awwwwww - flue - or what Jera ?

6:43 am

faeriekae

Hi Kate :) you little bitch. tee hee*

6:45 am

Jera

Gwyd is coughing... if his meds work I might run him in... Sprite is complaining of sore throat, headache & "feeling yucky" I told her to get dressed & have breakfast, then let me know how she feels...

6:45 am

lianakate

oh, faerie..I love when you beep me..i get all squishy..LMAO

6:45 am

sandyloo

hey liana great to see you how are the legs?

6:46 am

faeriekae

Ohhhh-How old are they?

6:46 am

Jera

The Sprite will be 10 in 21 days... Gwyd is 4 1/2...

6:46 am

faeriekae

Kate-It is just too much fun. We are what we are. I love being a bitch. Anyone here experience menopause yet?

6:47 am

lianakate

Sandy...some days better than others..now I know why they call it intermittant claudication...I need more excercise ..spending less and less time on puter,..trying to get some walk time in.

6:47 am

Jera

I find it amusing that certain valid Babble words get beeped...

6:47 am

faeriekae

I remember you saying that Gwyd was 4 1/2 yesterday but not Sprite. Fun ages.

6:47 am

sandyloo

hate to admit it but yes but no problems at all except not sleeping well

6:48 am

Jera

Almost the same as musicmom's 2... ITA, fun ages...

6:49 am

Jera

This drastic weather shift + horrible wind is gonna slay us all, I fear...

6:49 am

movieman

Jera - going back to our conversation yesterday, how is your son getting on?

6:50 am

lianakate

faerie..i am old enough to have experienced it TWICE..lol. No more viable eggs..which is okay by me~

6:51 am

faeriekae

I had complete Hysteroctomy when I was 29 so that has been alooooong time ago. It does turn you into a bitch. I also found out that the hot flashes never go away. I don't take meds for it due to family history of breast cancer though. 3 of my sisters have had breast cancer.

6:51 am

Jera

He's about to do some more testing, physical/psych/edu & we'll go from there with a personal IEP... hopefully that will help make his preschool education more productive...

6:52 am

movieman

Jera - I have my fingers crossed for him, I know first hand how bad a childhood with autism can be.....

6:52 am

Jera

He has a new thing... clapping & repeating the pattern... sometimes he starts, even, which is great... evidently they are doing that at school

I'm thinking he would enjoy a kindermusik program, he likes music, patterns, dancing...

6:52 am

sandyloo

just looked that up liana sounds like its hard to deal with but i guess that exercise is better that the computor (hmm) i have been trying more exercise lately -swiming and walking but i feel quite lethargic i hate that

6:53 am

Jera

It's no fun when you know something is wrong... but can't figure out what... so very little chance of solving the problem if you can't define it...

6:54 am

lianakate

Sandy..could you be depressed?..have diabetes maybe?..both of those cause a lot of lethargy if not dealt with..I lost 8 los recently..I tried to do without my anti depressants..didnt work..could hardly function!

6:55 am

shorty

Morning all! faerie I had a histerectamy when I was 33 due to external bleeding from my last child

6:56 am

capone

hey shorty, how ya feeling today?

6:56 am

faeriekae

(((((Shorty))))) really - wow - It sucks doesn't it?

6:56 am

sandyloo

liana i dont have diabetes i tested my sugar lately and its really good depression...hmmm never have had it before ... and I would say i dont have it now but you never know these things creep up on you they say but i dont think so im generally happy and have a good life but do have a lot to do

6:57 am

sandyloo

6:57 am

shorty

I'm feeling much better ty Capone. Actually faer I take meds so it doesn;t bother me

6:58 am

lianakate

Jera..are you the one that was talking about testing for autism?..my next door neighbor girl has a son born without the 18th gene. He seems autistic to me..He is five. Just started walking last year..and goes to a special school..He doesnt speak , but signs like mad~ they even had him on a J tube..now he eats etc...making remarkable strides..(and he is a beautiful child!~)

6:58 am

sandyloo

maybe im not fit enough fitness can improve your energy levels

6:59 am

mrpresident

Snady, you are not depressed! body changes make for decreased levels in energy. Just means you have to do more and eat less.... sad, sad situation! I know! LOL

6:59 am

faeriekae

Shorty-Meds are good for most people. I took them for about 8 years then when my Sis Sylvia got cancer that was when my Dr said no more. But it hasn't been bad. the first few years were terrible though...

7:00 am

shorty

yeah it scares me but my dr said I shouldn't quit taking them

7:00 am

sandyloo

i think thats it press im forcing myself to do something every two days and when it gets cooler ill start riding the very fat horse on our "farm"

7:01 am

shorty

I know if I go a week without taking them phew its horrible

7:01 am

mrpresident

"farm" LOL!! you crack me up!!

7:02 am

faeriekae

No Shorty you shouldn't stop taking them. I'm just saying that it wasn't a good thing for me with so much breast cancer in my family. Most of my freinds are taking some sort of drug for hormones...

7:02 am

capone

woot, found the naughty word of the day!

7:03 am

FMitch

They are making me wear a button that is about the size of a larger cookie that says "It's my birthday and I'm an incredibly smart, exciting, good-looking person!" ROFL!

7:18 am

Jera

How do you remove patch adhesive? There was an iron patch that was removed & left white stuff... very neat strips, if that makes a difference...

7:19 am

Jera

Not like the original stuff on the patch, like the stuff you cut out to make a patch stick...

7:20 am

Anj

Jera, I will take the 50:50 or phone a friend... : /

7:20 am

ToeSockMonkey

:) Yeah made me laugh... was in a card...

7:20 am

gramma

I don't know what your fabric is, but; I'd try paint thinner.

7:20 am

shorty

wax paper and a iron

7:21 am

sandyloo

lol what about trying eucalyptus oil

7:22 am

mrpresident

eucalyptus oil removes any stick stuff from anywhere, and leaves a clean, fresh smell!!

7:22 am

gramma

Could someone tell me how to shrink the size of quick note? It was a sweet little box. Now it's grown to full page and not as handy.

7:23 am

sandyloo

and if you have a sniffle its good for that too

7:24 am

Boysaway

gramma, your icon reminds me of innocent primary school days, long before anyone was aware of political correctness.

7:24 am

shorty

if you put wax paper on it and put the iron on it it should pull the sticky stuff off just keep doing it till its all off

7:26 am

Jera

It's a Girl Scout uniform... think I'll try the eucalyptus oil rather than the paint thinner...

Oh, & I don't iron...

7:26 am

gramma

boysaway, I had the same icon as you..so I changed...then I had the same icon as movieman....so I changed again

7:26 am

amandacath

gramma - change the size of the quick note just like any other window. Either the middle button in the top right corner, or mouse-over a corner or side until you get an arrow, then click and pull

7:28 am

Boysaway

and I have the same as shorty... will go and change!

7:29 am

shorty

Well that would work if you ironed LOL

7:30 am

mrpresident

Jera has the same as me! and we live in harmony!

7:30 am

Boysaway

Ah, that's better...refresh for Little Boy Blue

7:30 am

sandyloo

ok with 120 left i will go and have a shower and then off to dream land to dream of all the gold medals australia is about to win and of course my next glass of wine

7:31 am

capone

...he needed the money

7:31 am

mrpresident

I will see you for that glass of wine sandy!

7:34 am

amandacath

my (very limited) cleaning tips:
salt on red wine
cold water for blood
nail polish remomver for sticky stuff (but it can damage the surface) - I think I remember my high-school chem teacher saying that Coke takes off sticky stuff too, but maybe not - it's supposed to get rid of battery corrosion, but I've never needed to try it

7:34 am

FMitch

anyone have the ho6/24 and can give a clue please.

7:35 am

Curious George --- we took the girls a few weeks ago. Sarah (11) didn't want to go - it was going to be a baby movie. Well we had as much fun watching her watch the movie as we did watching the movie. I was very impressed with the innocence with which it was done. Very refreshing.

10:25 am

10:36 am

Angelsong

I need opinions, please. I have put some intomation on how to keep the Babble resource page updated on the bottom of the online page for those who have the resource page on their hard drives. I'd like to know: would it be more helpful to have that update information on a second page, or should I leave it as it is?

10:38 am

Babbler

Leave it as it is, Angel. : ) It works all on one page, I think. Thanks for adding my profile, btw!! That was such a good idea of yours! :D

10:39 am

lola100

angel, looks good to me : )

Hey babs! ((x)) : )

10:39 am

Anj

Angel, looks fine as it is, athough it wouldn't do any harm to have it on a second page via a link.
I used to use content management systems and always tried to keep a balance between the page content (screen size only if poss) and the drop downs/links so that all the info was never more than 2 clicks away from the home page. : )

10:40 am

Angelsong

it was a natural addition, Babbler! I'm always on the lookout for new links/tools. If you know of any, do let me know so I can check them out.

10:41 am

2:01 pm

musicmom

Why did I start this grid? I still have 170+ words to go. UGH

2:02 pm

mab

Hi Lola. Capone is teasing Toes - says he's busy tonight. He must have an awesome surprise for her. Awesome.

2:02 pm

lola100

it's a bit of a sod today, isn't it? : /

hi sherb! : )

2:02 pm

Haz1558

MM - you started this grid because you are addicted, just like the rest of us! I've found this hard going today as well. 48 words left to find.

2:03 pm

Angelsong

50 to go for me...

2:03 pm

sherb

hi lola :D

2:03 pm

musicmom

I should be mudding the dining room walls but all I have done is babble and sleep.

2:03 pm

lola100

Hi mab! I hope so. About the teasing and the surprise I mean! : D

2:03 pm

sherb

please tell me it's easy... I need an excuse to start...

2:04 pm

lola100

sherb, it's the easiest grid we've had in weeks! ; )

2:04 pm

Haz1558

Sherb - it's not easy. It's not a well behaved grid like yesterday's. But join in anyway.

2:04 pm

Dachef

i think everybodys struffling - hardest grid for awhile. Have resorted to the list with 76 to go - my worst effort for ages!!!!

Hi all!

2:04 pm

Atalante

its really easy Sherb :)

2:04 pm

Haz1558

lola has been struck down with lightning....

2:05 pm

lola100

hi dachef : )

2:05 pm

Dachef

struffling? struffling? must remember not to type in the dark. That might actully help, I think.

2:05 pm

musicmom

hahaa I went to the list after only having 11 words for about 30 minutes. I'm pathetic.

2:05 pm

lola100

haz, LOL! .....OW! What was that?? : /

2:05 pm

sherb

thanks all... *takes a running jump.....SPLASH!!*

2:05 pm

Atalante

struffling deserves to be a word

2:05 pm

musicmom

Sherb just start - easy is in the eye of the beholder.

2:06 pm

Haz1558

Struffling sounds as likely as some of the words today.

2:06 pm

lola100

struffling sounds like....fun! ; )

2:06 pm

Haz1558

MM - you're not pathetic, you're efficient!

2:06 pm

Tim

hello everyone ...si6/24?

2:07 pm

Atalante

It sounds like what my dog does in the field on the trail of a long gone rabbit

2:07 pm

mab

It's so easy, Sherb, that I'm doing it a second time. Just for laughs. Really.

2:08 pm

musicmom

UGH Mab!!!!!

2:08 pm

lola100

hey mm, you still have to find the darn words! The list just stops you from monkeying aimlessly : )

2:08 pm

sherb

mab - maybe you need help... ;)

2:08 pm

Haz1558

Atalante - it's when they put their nose down and really breathe in as much as they possibly can to get the scent!

2:08 pm

musicmom

Thanks haz - It's good to know I have friends and compatriots here.

2:08 pm

Atalante

yes! and the more disgusting the scent, the more that needs to be inhaled

2:10 pm

lola100

hi tim : )
si6/24, si plus tele****e...add the blanked out letters : )

2:10 pm

mab

Sherb: 'Maybe?'

2:10 pm

Haz1558

TIM - sorry didn't notice you there! si 6/24 - a device to drain liquid out.

2:10 pm

Dachef

Im still struffling.

Anyone know if TSM and Capone resolved their "differences"? I was enjoying that little spat!

2:11 pm

sherb

yeah, redundant question... ;)

2:11 pm

boreetos

hi kids

2:11 pm

musicmom

I know Lola - but having that nice ordered list of letters and numbers makes me feel more productive. I'm a list kind of girl.

2:11 pm

boreetos

hurray for lists!

2:11 pm

sherb

dachef - it's all gone quiet... maybe they're making up?

2:11 pm

Tim

thanks Haz

2:12 pm

musicmom

or maybe they are fighting on the phone so we can't hear.

2:12 pm

sherb

musicmom - me too, I LOVE lists!!

2:12 pm

Dachef

sherb, either that or theyre busy throwing things at each other!

2:13 pm

musicmom

brb

2:14 pm

lola100

mm, that's what I meant! I love the list, it saves me time. I meant you weren't 'weak' because you still have to do the hard work, find the words : )

2:14 pm

mab

I'm lying of course, but it isn't too awful. It is possible however that my last 86 words are hideously obscure and will cause me to suffer horribly.

2:15 pm

Dachef

mab - rest assured they are!!!

2:15 pm

musicmom

Thanks Lola. I admire the people who can go without.

2:17 pm

mab

Love the list.

Thanks for that encouragement Dachef. I don't see cheerleading in your future, however.

2:17 pm

lola100

mab, no point in lending him my pom poms then?

2:18 pm

musicmom

No lola - you better keep them.

2:18 pm

boreetos

other than entertainment? probably not.

2:18 pm

sherb

dachef... and pom poms... there's a picture...

2:19 pm

mab

Oh, go ahead, Lola. I'd love to see what he can do with them. I mean, I think I would...

2:19 pm

Haz1558

He'd cook them.

2:19 pm

lola100

...is it just me seeing him naked with the pom poms?? : /

2:20 pm

boreetos

2:20 pm

sherb

lola - just you, sure, only you...

2:20 pm

Dachef

me? naked with pom-poms?

ok, whos been talking? Those photos were supposed to have been destroyed.

2:22 pm

lola100

2:22 pm

chu

2:23 pm

boreetos

I HAVE to see this video.

2:23 pm

Dachef

<looks nervously around to see if anj is lurking>

;)

2:23 pm

mab

Oh, please, Dachef. You're naked right now - it's obvious in your posts. One just needs to read between the lines.

2:23 pm

lola100

chu, the number of possible words varies every day so no easy answer to that. just have fun! : )

2:24 pm

Dachef

Boreetos - I'll lend you a copy when I get it back from the police.

Welcome rivets - sa4/6 is a word that starts with sa, has 4 letters and scores 6 points.
There are great links for this game on the right of the page under the Friends of Babble heading. Well worth a visit.

4:46 pm

Haz1558

Hello rivets. For a full explanation of the game, click on Babble rules at the top of the page. We use a kind of shorthand in asking for clues.
so4/4 means a word of 4 letters beginning with so that will yield 4 points. Words of 5 letters long are doubled in value and so on. Jump in and try it out.
