Uneaixoise

leslieann, LOL, i was thinking the same thing!!

12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

Hi Everyone, welcome to another wonderful day of babbling! Can't wait! Although - I have a quesion to you all :

12:18 am

cybernan

d 7/48 x2

12:18 am

chic

Howdy, All!

12:18 am

cybernan

we're waiting lickety!

12:19 am

Dianne

O.K. lickety - I'll bite - what's your question?

12:19 am

licketySplitAUS

We all use clues, hints, tips, web resources, even past experiences. But when, is it too much ofr you as - Who you are?

12:20 am

licketySplitAUS

What is your limit?

12:20 am

licketySplitAUS

I've love to provide hints with just the right level of hint - but not too far ?

12:21 am

Avaneko

When my brain explodes.
Or more likely...when I'm tired.

12:21 am

licketySplitAUS

Is 3 letters too much?

12:21 am

mrpresident

can you type in english please!

12:21 am

Angelsong

hello, lickety!

12:22 am

mrpresident

three letters is too much

12:22 am

licketySplitAUS

Is 2? What about reverse clues ? Last letters ? Or maybe count of word and first and last letters?

12:22 am

Dianne

I think how much time is left also has to do with just how much of a hint I will give. If it is crunch time then I'll lead someone to the word.

12:23 am

licketySplitAUS

What about vowel count and first letter?

12:23 am

mrpresident

vowel count doesn't help because you have to monkey type those anyway

12:24 am

licketySplitAUS

What about first letter and random one other letter?

12:24 am

Dianne

where is all this leading?

12:25 am

LeslieAnn

i like clues the best that break down the different parts of the word, then you can figure it out a part at a time. but i don't mind third letter.

12:25 am

helenkeller

lick - are you still celebrating st. paddy's day?!? :)

12:25 am

mrpresident

yeah lickety, what are you 'plannng'!?

12:25 am

LeslieAnn

what i don't like is googling definitions, no guessing involved

12:26 am

Voyager I

I like it when I type something in as a joke and it's a word...

12:26 am

helenkeller

i agree leslie - don't like the defs

12:27 am

licketySplitAUS

I'm just curious - cause it's such a great game.

Don't change what fits huh?

12:27 am

Dianne

I hate googling. I like clues like rhymes, using people's names, movie titles, etc.

12:27 am

helenkeller

i just popped in to take a peak at the puzzle - looks like a good one, going to bed now - good night everyone

12:27 am

Avaneko

stats are up at Anon.

12:27 am

licketySplitAUS

there's an idea - Joke Definitions.

There are many words I've never heard of though ;-)

12:28 am

Dianne

why is it lickety that i don't believe this was all idle curosity.........sure there isn't something else?

12:29 am

licketySplitAUS

Ok, I'll confess. I'm a programmer and I can produce Stats. Love the game, thought I'd just prob some minds on what sort of stats I could produce that would make me 'loved'.

12:29 am

cybernan

Don't like googling either - nor a 2 z - agree with Leslie and Dianne

12:30 am

mrpresident

oh, the stats you have provided are wonderful! alot of people have said so... you are loved!

12:30 am

Dianne

lickety - you're loved :)

12:40 am

LeslieAnn

um, i think r 8/45 was announced about 40 minutes ago, but i'm doing it again because i'm excited I found it!

12:43 am

cybernan

Just found it too, Leslie!

12:45 am

mrpresident

12:45 am

Avaneko

12:46 am

1:49 am

annevans

1:49 am

72 Temple Owl

That's what I meant, Angel. Any luck so far?

1:51 am

annevans

Thanks Sprite & Mr President - I'll be back soon - I hope !

1:51 am

Angelsong

Today's sudoku is very doable.

1:52 am

sprite

No rush, Angel, was just wondering. Really looking forward to it :)

1:52 am

Angelsong

pe5/18?

1:53 am

Angelsong

the page is fun to put together! I love doing them.

1:53 am

sprite

Sorry, don't have that one yet.

1:54 am

emtiandeca

pe 5/18 means truly

1:58 am

sprite

Thanks, never heard of the word nor the meaning before. Justifies my babbling for today at least! :)

2:01 am

sprite

If I try 'readable' one more time, I will have to kick myself.

2:03 am

Angelsong

I keep wanting "pewter", but it isn't happening....

2:05 am

mrpresident

I do love to watch the mens swimming!! love the costumes... tight and right in all the good places!! 8D

2:05 am

mrpresident

oops, did I say that out loud!?

2:06 am

sprite

LOL! Yes you did, mrP, and I agree ;)

2:08 am

Angelsong

I need one more P. last pe6

2:09 am

mrpresident

that is one sexy scotsman that won the 200m backstroke medal!!
A first for me... I would never have used 'sexy' and 'scotsman' in a sentence before ! ;)

2:10 am

mrpresident

pe6 same as gas you put in your car, but change the last vowel to another vowel

2:10 am

sprite

Hahahaha... and why not? I kinda like them. :)

2:11 am

mrpresident

Sprite, we are the colonies, we get the outcasts down here LOL! Haven't seen a sexy scot in forever!!

2:13 am

Griffums

woof

2:14 am

mrpresident

griff!! long time no see... how you feeling!?

2:15 am

Griffums

I'm doing okay, thanks. Healing slowly. Exhausted at the moment bc I have a weekend foster puppy - 8 month old husky. It's 11:15pm here and thank DOG that I finally found his OFF switch...

2:15 am

sprite

Ah, of course! Same reason many people here say they don't like our immigrants from morocco or turkey - because all you see of them is the unpleasant types. And all those pleasant types are either still at home or just don't attract that much attention.

2:15 am

Griffums

...and I need help here because I seem to be missing *one* R and it's driving me rrrrrrreally nuts.

2:16 am

sprite

Griffs! Am I glad to see you. We are missing you around here. Someone told me I should wish you well and tell you she misses you too... just forgot who it was.

2:16 am

Griffums

Whoever it was, I'm sure I miss her and wish her well too. :) Tx.

2:17 am

mrpresident

that would be everyone sprite!! LOL

2:17 am

Griffums

I know it's been forever since I checked in. GW's kids are probably in college by now. :D

2:17 am

mrpresident

married with children actually LOL!

2:18 am

sprite

I do feel stupid about this, LOL! I could read up some logs to find out, of course.

2:18 am

Griffums

Really? I heard the older one got a divorce...

2:18 am

mrpresident

onto the third marriage too...

2:18 am

sprite

One of them named his grandson after you, I believe.

2:19 am

Griffums

heeeeeeee! you gals are funny!

2:20 am

sprite

Great to see you laugh ;)

2:20 am

Griffums

All right, seriously now, help me get this last R. I think it's re 6. And I will feel stupid when it's an obvious one, but not as stupid as I will if I don't get it at all...

2:20 am

mrpresident

you healing well?
and what happened to the 'stupid' one in the other car?

2:21 am

Griffums

I'm doing a lot better since the massage therapist worked on me. Going back again in a few days. Haven't had any run-in's (so to speak) with the stupid one, though a big red truck shot out into the street in front of me this morning. Deja vu all over again only this time no crunch at the end, thank goodness.

2:21 am

mrpresident

re6 - is that the 'say it again' one?

2:21 am

sprite

I have a Re6/27 that means trying to get it/her pregnant again. Past tense.

2:22 am

Griffums

No, I have say it again, and I have sketch it again...

2:22 am

Griffums

Yessssssss that was it sprite, thanks!

2:23 am

sprite

Then it might be mine. Like you do with dogs.

2:23 am

Griffums

Speak for yourself!

2:23 am

sprite

Yeah!

2:24 am

sprite

I stand corrected. Like some people do with dogs and horses. Perhaps someone should do it with them :)

2:27 am

Griffums

:))))
Oops, puppy is awake and Hunter is begging me please DO something - he is trying to be a good host but is just thrashed by constant puppy annoyance. I'll be back tomorrow to finish. So good to see you - night!

2:27 am

Angelsong

I've been awake for 19 hours, and I'm punchy. I'm off to bed; will finish the grid later...

ruthy

morning all
can anyone please give me a clue for the re 6/33

3:53 am

ruthy

sorry i meant the re 6/27

3:53 am

Haz1558

re 6/33 - the artist did his sketch over again

3:54 am

Haz1558

re 6/27 - add the ending of the expression 'born and ?'

3:55 am

ruthy

ty haz1558

3:55 am

eeb

hi, what does the number behind the / mean?

3:56 am

Haz1558

re 6/27 means that there are 6 letters in the word and that you get 27 points for that word. That is reached by adding up the point value of the letter tiles and multiplying by 3. 5 letter words are doubled and so on.

3:56 am

amandacath

ebb - the number of points: re6/27 = starts with re, has 6 letters, 27 points

Any help for the other y? I've got the unit of time...

3:56 am

eeb

ah, thanks muchly.

3:57 am

ExWren

4:09 am

amandacath

What would Freud say to that, Wren?

4:14 am

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

Jac :-D

8:08 am

8:23 am

lola100

Cool! I'll see if I can find it some time : )

8:24 am

faeriekae

Yes, It is a good flick if you have nothing to do. I actually bought the movie because I really liked it. I've watched it 1/2 dozen times I'm sure. The humor is a little sick but IT'S FUNNY.

Chris P - Why do you never change your icon.......

I think we all know what you look like by now......LOL

9:00 am

Chris P

I don't know how to!! What's wrong with the way I look??

9:00 am

Haz1558

Leave her alone, Movieman! Chris P, your smile always makes me smile!

9:00 am

Chris P

Thank you Haz.

9:00 am

faeriekae

Morning Haz and Chris :)

9:01 am

Nothing's wrong with the way you look.......

I happen to think you look like a very nice and friendly person.......

9:01 am

Hello faerie - how goes the hunting of the words?

9:02 am

faeriekae

Haz - much better than yesterday thank you for asking.

9:02 am

Chris P

Thank you movieman - I try to be!

9:02 am

lola100

hi haz : )

9:03 am

Haz1558

That's good, faerie - you were a bit distracted yesterday. By the way, what is the record for a telephone conversation with one of your sisters?

9:03 am

Haz1558

Hello, lola and everyone else.

9:04 am

movieman

Greeting, Haz....

9:05 am

faeriekae

LOL - one of my sissy call me every day and the record (can't believe you ask that question and I know the answer) was 41/2 hr with my sis Linda. Back when I was going through a divorce. We are very close.

9:06 am

macuser

Good morning/afternoon, everyone :)

faerie - you've got me beat... my sister and I have talked for 2.5 hours and her name is Linda also, heh

9:06 am

Haz1558

Good grief! Your phone bills must be amazing! I thought having teenage daughters was the key to huge phone bills.....

9:08 am

faeriekae

No Haz - we call on our cell phones and it is free from cell to cell....We all use Nextel and for $43 per month we can talk as much as we want. I don't even have long distance on my home phone at all.

9:09 am

faeriekae

Masuer - Thats wild. Is she a Bitch like my sister? I tell everyone that I have 6 sisters and they are all Bitches I'm the only nice one. *teehee*

9:10 am

macuser

lol, faerie... yes, since she's my only sister, she's the bitch by default ;) I also have 3 brothers

9:10 am

Haz1558

That sounds like a very good deal you have there, faerie. The slogan for the British telephone company is 'It's good to talk'. We've spent years trying to convince our younger, very chatty daughter that it's a marketing slogan and not a commandment!

9:11 am

macuser

lol, Haz

lindsayhickman

3:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Welcome Orlo -- we tend to ignore the total point score here -- There are 143 words in today's board however

3:37 pm

Tim

chic scroll down to 3:34 log

3:37 pm

GreyWoulf

So has there been any further word from Smeltz?
I haven't had the time to play the past couple of days :(

3:37 pm

Orlo

thans I only have 18 a lot to learn

3:38 pm

andreacfm

Greywoulf, how does one know how many words there are to find?

3:39 pm

mamabear

GW - I haven't seen Dogman... but I haven't been on since last weekend either, so I guess I am not a good person to answer that question!

3:41 pm

balker

22 to go

3:41 pm

balker

sorta forces you to finish, doesn't it?

3:41 pm

chic

Tim, do you have the eagles' nest spleeled 2 ways?

3:41 pm

Tim

clue for the ey5/14 please?

3:42 pm

renfield

sure does balker

3:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Orlo -- don't worry, we all started out in your shoes. You have plenty of resources at your disposal --
In the box to the right, the Friends of Babble the Links that are the most helpful are Babbler's Anonymous where you can find a breakdown of the current puzzle by first two letters, total length and score in the General Topic;
AngelSong's Babble Page which is chock full of all sorts of Babbly goodness to help find the words;
And the Babbler 4 Dummies which has bunches of stuff as well. (I haven't had time to explore it fully yet as it is a new addition ;) )

3:42 pm

chic

Tim, add an eye to the one before...

3:42 pm

ionesco

I only just started this today, and I have 59 words left to find- but I seem to be running out of words I know. Is there some trick to finding bizarre words that one might not normally use?

3:43 pm

Angelsong

andreacfm, if you sign up for a Pro membership, you have access to a stats panel that tells how many words there are; otherwise, you can look at the Stats list on Babbler's Anonymous/General/Stats for the date; or ask any Babbler. Also, check out my Babble page via the link to the right under the Friends of Babble list.

3:44 pm

Angelsong

re8? I have the one for renewing vows...

3:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Then of course there is the best, most funnest, resource of all -- The Chat Log and your fellow Babblers!! ;D

If you spend the money to go Pro, you also gain access to a stats screen which gives you a basic breakdown of the grid by total word count broken down by length, as well as how many words originate from each square :)

3:45 pm

Tim

Thanks chic now Im missing one ey4/6 have the eagles nest, and one who looks

3:45 pm

GreyWoulf

A big welcome to andrea and ione as well!!!!

3:46 pm

arfnarfsi

I really don't see how this game is any better than boggle...the points dont really change how you find words, so it seems that they're almost arbitrary. If you find 50 words, you find 50 words, the points make no difference in your inevitable personal outcome.

3:46 pm

mamabear

Welcome babble newbies!!!! Always nice to see new faces!!!! (sorta!) But be warned.... once you enter Babbleonia, there is no turning back....

3:46 pm

Tim

welcome to all the newbies. beware (very addictive) :)

3:46 pm

andreacfm

thanks everyone for all the info!! I think I'm addicted, I've been working on this for 3 hours while my husband is watching NCAA hoops.

3:47 pm

arfnarfsi

not to sound too negative....

3:47 pm

Angelsong

Mama, how goes it with your Babble Page?

3:48 pm

mamabear

arfnarfsi - since this is not really a competitive environment, we don't really dwell much on the point value, it's just finding and learning new words - more a challenge of the hunt to find them all...

3:48 pm

Tigereye

arfnarfsi the points count towards your score in the rankings, and it also makes it easier to differentiate between words when you're looking for them/asking for clues

3:48 pm

GreyWoulf

arfnarfsi -- the points come into play sometimes when asking for help. Or if you are trying to randomly type a word (commonly referred to as monkeytyping) knowing the point score allows you to eliminate some combos :)

3:48 pm

chic

Tim, use the nest, drop the 'e' and add first vowel....

3:49 pm

renfield

and singing songs, and making friends.....spending new years together, and singing songs..

3:49 pm

Tim

Done WHEWWWWWW.

3:49 pm

arfnarfsi

grey - so, unlike tangleword on playsite, this is really more the community of cooperation and learning...not so much the game?

3:49 pm

renfield

yay tim!!!!!!!!!!!

3:50 pm

GreyWoulf

Exactly!!

3:50 pm

Tim

Thanks for the clues Chic....Yeah. : )

3:50 pm

Well done, Tim!

Well done Tim :)

Huh...thanks grey.

To be honest, Angel, I haven't had much opportunity or time to play with it .... :(

You are very welcome, arf :)

4:02 pm

GreyWoulf

I didn't get to watch it on Sat AM's -- however, I used to love watching the old Matinee at the Bijou show that PBS used to air -- they showed the whole serial clip plus movie -- got to see some of the old Flash Gordon's and Tarzan's that way :)

4:02 pm

mamabear

Hi Jen! I don't know about the mrp question.... I'm sure she wouldn't mind you emailing her and asking though.....

chic

I know, GW. I had the very first "Silver Surfer", too.

4:10 pm

helenkeller

chic - i just read that - lol, matchbooks, you have my sympathies

4:12 pm

chic

My Mom and her friend used to go to "matchbook Club" meetings.

4:12 pm

mamabear

matchbook club meetings???????????? oh my

4:12 pm

GreyWoulf

chic - why torture me like this? -- I didn't have anything quite that old, but until recently, I had 3 large comic book storage boxes of comics I had collected over the past 20 years that were destroyed by water damage. The worst part was I didn't know until I actually opened the bags. The water had seeped in and turned the pages into so much mulch :o

4:13 pm

mamabear

sounds like a "cover" to me!!! LOL Like a "speak easy"!!!!!!!!

4:13 pm

Sherylr1961

been going around in circles looking for the de 4/6 can anyone help pls

4:13 pm

GreyWoulf

In case you can't tell -- I am still a BIG comic book reader and collector ;)

4:14 pm

chic

Yea, how interesting was that?
Hey did anyone catch the show on the History Channel this week, called "How William Shatner changed the World? " It was a hoot!

4:14 pm

mamabear

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that, GW - better than stealing hub caps!!!! LOL

4:14 pm

helenkeller

i have to agree with mamabear - matchbook meetings? that does sound fishy.... how old were you at the time?

4:14 pm

Sherylr1961

nevermind, got it,

4:14 pm

Sherylr1961

why is it when you ask for a clue you finally find the word, lol

4:15 pm

GreyWoulf

That was an absolute blast, chic! And proved how once again Science Fiction underestimates how quickly technology will advance.

4:16 pm

mamabear

I was just joking.... not questioning your mom's honesty in the least, chic!!!!!!

4:16 pm

Jen

chic, I watched that... very funny how they did it. And made me go "hmmm" about some of our technology!

4:16 pm

renfield

chic - it's on right now - i'm watching it

4:16 pm

chic

Helen, that was way after I left home. My Mom was a real straight arrow, nothing fishy there really...

4:17 pm

GreyWoulf

Sheryl -- for the same reason that when you decide to stop hunting for your lost book/keys/wallet/whatever, it jumps up and bites you!

4:17 pm

I love it! All my nerdy friends!

4:18 pm

Not for a minute, GW!

4:18 pm

Sherylr1961

okay me again, need the re 5/18 pls, hoping that asking will allow me to find it, lol

4:19 pm

helenkeller

well then i believe you -who would have thought matchbooks could generate that kind of interest - what's next, matchbook conventions?

4:19 pm

GreyWoulf

hursh -- give it an go -- it's a blast and the reason why they called it that was a dig at Shatner's ego back in the early days of Trek

4:20 pm

chic

opp. of re 5/16. make moist

4:20 pm

Sherylr1961

my ploy didn't work so i will take that clue pls, lol

4:21 pm

hurshy

d'you spose his ego is any smaller now?

4:21 pm

I was going to say that, GW. And Shatner knows he has a big ego still...

4:21 pm

Sherylr1961

the 5/18 pls list word on the list

4:21 pm

GreyWoulf

On many level's it has improved, hursh -- otherwise he would have agreed to star in the show :)

4:22 pm

GreyWoulf

oops -- wouldn't have agreed

4:22 pm

Sherylr1961

re 5/16 add the sometimes vowel to the one above it

4:22 pm

helenkeller

i think the whole denny crane thing is a joke about his ego too

4:22 pm

chic

GW, once read an interview with him, it was funny, the interviewer brought her mom, who loved trek, and after lunch shatner gave the mom a kiss on the cheek or whatever and left. and the interviewer asked her mom, "so, was that william shatner, or capt. kirk?" and the mom said, "i had lunch with william shatner... but i was kissed by captain kirk!"

Haz1558

jrob - it's a 6 letter word beginning with do.

7:37 pm

renfield

7:50 pm

renfield

ok mm..i'll be here

7:50 pm

musicmom

dan the letters are the first two letters of the word, the first number refers to number of letters in the word, the second letter is the number of points the word is worth. To find a list of them go to Angelsong's page listed at the right.

7:50 pm

dayou

Maybe I'm fried...but I am still stuck on the elderly clues. Brain chemicals too. *sigh*

7:51 pm

Anj

Dan, it means:
1st and 2nd letters - de

7:51 pm

renfield

dan - de 6/33 means the word starts w/ de has 6 letters as is worth 33 points. you may want to go to the legend to the right and go to angelsong's web site for some helpful insite on how to play the game.

9:32 pm

jeffer

musicmom - i knew they were fishy
thanks

9:32 pm

renfield

dianne - he was caught in a parade w/ an open container...which is against texas law!!!! elections hasn;t happened yet -

9:33 pm

musicmom

no problem. I've missed enough of those to be glad to give someone else the clue.

9:33 pm

renfield

el payo - i take it ucla wins

9:34 pm

Dianne

tut, tut, tut ....he should have known better. Was it a
Saint Pat parade?

9:35 pm

renfield

no an election parade....

9:35 pm

musicmom

oh that was brilliant ren.

9:36 pm

Dianne

That makes no sense.....St. Pat's parade I could understand.

9:36 pm

Mongo

what are your scores here? i have no idea what a 'good' or 'average' score is

9:37 pm

musicmom

Mongo - the best way is to play for yourself. Personally I go for number of words found not points. I usually try to finish the grid. For example today there are 143 words. How many of them can you find?

9:37 pm

Matkins70gig700

1187 at the mo

9:37 pm

renfield

who knows w/ the kinster!!! he's always been a wild one!!!

9:38 pm

musicmom

Sometimes if I know I can't finish I will go for all the big words 6,7,8 letter words.

9:38 pm

cecily

musicmom: you know about the word count because you are a pro member, right?

9:38 pm

Mongo

Yeah I'm at 43 with 506. I'm not a Pro member so I don't know total # of words for example. But 1000+ is a lot :)

9:39 pm

musicmom

Mongo - you can find the word count and total points for any given grid in the Babblers Anonymous page under general. The link is in the box at the right.

9:40 pm

renfield

mongo - to the right is the friends of babble. angelsong has a very good website that shows how bable is played and has a lot of links to tools to use. we get a new grid each day at midnight central standard time. (dr g-d's time)

9:40 pm

HollyBug

There are 143 words today.

9:40 pm

musicmom

Yes Cecily - that is the best way (in my opinion) but you can also find it at babblers anonymous.

9:40 pm

The by is a novel spelling of that great lump in wood.

11:57 pm

GreyWoulf

kristi -- nope -- I have one that set herself up as guardian of Kristianna who is so complacent about the kids that she is a wonderful conundrum -- she freaks when other adults are around, but will let Kristianna poke her and Seb lay full on her with no probs whatsoever :)

renfield

helenary

11:59 pm

HollyBug

lol. I hope my cats are like that. Though I am slightly afraid they won't be. Sometimes Big Cat looks at me like he's plotting my death.

11:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Given the former home environment I was in before Kristianna was born and especially before moving to PA, I think the cats are pretty much inured to the chaos that children represent :D

11:59 pm

renfield

i never learned to curse so i thought i was cool to say he double hockey stick...duh

11:59 pm
