Babble: Archived Puzzle for Saturday, May 6, 2006

12:00 am

JBsAnno

flip again!

12:00 am

stidmama

flip!

12:00 am

knutmeg

flip!!

12:00 am

stidmama

yay, we tied!

12:00 am

knutmeg

dang, slow connection is my excuse. :-) I'm not using my normal internet...

12:00 am

JBsAnno

HA! I made it first! But still had 18 left on the previous one, oh well, maybe fireworks today.

12:00 am

Dianne

Hi All

12:01 am

Dr_God

Auto-flip worked. And the stats are ready to go. No more waiting after the flip!

12:01 am

JBsAnno

Thanks again, Dr_God!!!!

12:01 am

ch1212

Yeah Dr._God!

12:01 am

kimberblue

thank-you!

12:02 am

JBsAnno

Now, if I could only squish my screen a little bit, then I could see the grid, the words, and the chat without side to side scrolling.

12:02 am

Dr_God

JBsAnno-
Sounds like you need to change your monitor resolution to 1024x768

12:03 am

Dr_God

I think you need to redo your icon, kimber, so that we can see a full-size icon for your puppy.

12:04 am

Jacula

Still wearing all of your jewellery at once though. No need for it.

12:04 am

JBsAnno

I'll try it, Dr_G! BRB

12:05 am

Jacula

Sometimes, simpler is better.

12:05 am

kimberblue

help me with what you mean?

12:05 am

kimberblue

i see a full size puppy

12:06 am

JBsAnno

Thanks, Dr_God, that worked.

Except now I need glasses!

12:06 am

Dr_God

kimber-
Two version of icons are stored now - a big one for the profile page and small one for the chat log.

12:06 am

Jacula

methinks Jamie's not talking to me now! Why??

12:07 am

ch1212

wow, I just saw the full icon on my profile page -- nice job, Dr_G -- we note you have changed your icon too

12:07 am

Dr_God

I hear you, Jacula. Have no fear. ;)

12:07 am

renfield

kool

12:07 am

Dr_God

Yeah. My old icon was getting a bit old.

12:07 am

Jacula

Glad your hear me, DR_G., but why no answer?

12:08 am

Jacula

Edit/delete button please?

12:08 am

Dr_God

Haven't asked a question

12:08 am

kimberblue

what is the profile page? My account?

12:08 am

Jacula

Well, 'edit' at the very least. The 'delete' could cause clue-giving and going away probs.

12:08 am

Dr_God

The profile page is the page you see when you click on the little person icon next to someone's name

12:08 am

cybernan

de 6/30

12:09 am

JBsAnno

Jacula (pls remember it's past 1:00am in the morning for me...) first of all, How did you find out that Dr_God HAS a first name, and second, how high are you in the pantheon that you get to call Him by it? <bosg - big ol' sloppy grin>

12:09 am

Jacula

Sorry, Cyber. Haven't tuning into the flipped grid yet.

12:09 am

Dr_God

The 'edit' button is a much bigger deal than it seems. The odds of that feature showing up on the site is slim, unfortunately.

12:10 am

Jacula

Ah! I do know that, Jamie. THANK YOU for giving me a proper reason for the no.

12:11 am

Dr_God

Jacula-

12:11 am

Jacula

JBS - don't push your luck! LOL.

12:11 am

Dr_God

It would basically open up a Pandora's box of potential problems

12:11 am

JBsAnno

hee, hee!

12:12 am

Dr_God

People could theoretically all be editing their posts at the same time, so the chat log would be completely chaotic, with posts changing on the fly. Nasty nasty bizness.

12:13 am

kimberblue

i think i did it!

12:13 am

Dr_God

Much better! :)

12:13 am

KBtoy

How can you hide the chat log now?

12:13 am

renfield

i love my typos.. i know i;m alive and not at work....

12:13 am

Jacula

Dr_G - I take your point. The buttons could only be allowed on a much bigger site.

12:13 am

JBsAnno

Cute puppy, kimber!

12:14 am

Dr_God

Just flip to the Who's Online or My Friends tab

12:14 am

KBtoy

aha thanks, nice

12:14 am

cybernan

just got with the theme for the day *refresh*

12:15 am

Jacula

Have a (((HUG)) anyway, Dr_G. You've had a rought time (with me at least!) these past couple of days.

12:15 am

Jacula

Still think it looks cluttered though! *Ducks*

12:15 am

Dr_God

I've been doing this for going on 10 years now so my skin is pretty thick. Don't worry about little ol' me. ;)

12:16 am

The Student

I really like that fact that I dont have to flip between the tile stats and the word list

12:16 am

Dr_God

BTW, JBsAnno, your icon reminds me a pic I came across last night: http://mfrost.typepad.com/photos/uncat
egorized/schoolio.jpg

12:16 am

kimberblue

JBS- do you want her?

12:16 am

Jacula

Yeah! Just like my lad! Stil likes a hug from his old Mum though. ROFLOL.

12:18 am

JBsAnno

Jumping for joy on the canine side!! How cute. Thanks, Dr_G!

12:18 am

Dr_God

I have a soft spot for pics of dogs. Here's another: http://tinyurl.com/ovya8 :)

12:19 am

JBsAnno

Thanks for the offer, kimblue, BUT I think my 3 cats, AND my husband would have strenuous objections to a dog, no matter how cute.

12:19 am

JBsAnno

Oh, bad puppy!

12:20 am

stidmama

back again.... Hi Dr_God. It's working out pretty well, isn't it? I really like this version...

12:20 am

JBsAnno

Dr_G - have you gone to www.cuteoverload.com ??
It really is an overload! and they have great dog pictures.

12:21 am

Dr_God

That's where I saw the pics of the dogs.

12:21 am

stidmama

so i see the word count and no "r" ... how is the grid this evening?

12:21 am

Dr_God

stidmama-
The transition has gone quite smoothly actually. I'm surprised. ;)

12:21 am

Jacula

Soory for delay! Just trying to talk my daughter out of going to work by taxi even right now, since she only got in from pub ay about 3am.

12:22 am

JBsAnno

Their cat pictures are adorable, and I have absconded with several for icons!

12:22 am

stidmama

:-) I am glad I'm just a "Geekette" and not trying to do what you do! simple html and pirated scripts are about all I can handle!

12:22 am

stidmama

let's see, I think I need to update my icon. What is the theme for today?

12:23 am

stidmama

tea cups?

12:23 am

cybernan

sports

12:23 am

renfield

stid...i don;t even know what day it is!

12:24 am

renfield

tea cups i think

12:24 am

stidmama

i thought it was tea cups on Saturday?

12:25 am

JBsAnno

Well, I'm up to 40 words, and must quit for now. See you all later! {{{{{HUGS to all, and chocolattemochajava to stidmama!)))

12:25 am

renfield

later jb.....................

12:25 am

cybernan

guess I was a day ahead of myself! -- had my teacup out yesterday!

12:25 am

stidmama

later, JB! mochajavachocolatte right back atcha!

12:26 am

stidmama

I saw the pretty teacup, thought you were just anticipating today! LOL my mother has a nice little collection...

12:26 am

SamanthaJoy

Typically, when y'all get to the words that you just don't know, do you start guessing randomly, or what?

12:27 am

cybernan

that's it, samantha!

12:27 am

ch1212

I have teacups on my list for today

12:27 am

Hi there

this new interface rules....

12:28 am

SamanthaJoy

I rather like it myself

12:30 am

SamanthaJoy

Thank you, nan. It's nice to know I'm not the only person sitting at my keyboard typing "palf", "hond" and ""fote"

12:30 am

cybernan

de 7/44

12:33 am

stidmama

my computer is acting up. will have to stick with my precious children (back when they were still precious) for the moment... *dives into grid*

12:35 am

Jacula

*Sigh* She's gone to work via taxi anyway.

12:36 am

SamanthaJoy

A good work ethic is something to be proud of.

12:37 am

Jacula

I know. Bu not when you've been going through what she has lately. Nuff said.

12:38 am

Jacula

deal

12:38 am

Jacula

eek!

12:38 am

SamanthaJoy

hee hee!

12:38 am

cybernan

don't worr -- we all do it -- very easy with this set up.

12:39 am

SamanthaJoy

It's also good to know I'm not the only one who does *that*

12:40 am

Jacula

Oh well, I did say earlier that it would happen to me sooner or later. What better time than when I've been up all night waiting for my daughter to come home and then had to watch her virtually go straight out again when she probably should not?

12:40 am

cybernan

if nylon is a word -- why isn't teflon?

12:41 am

stidmama

teflon is still under tradename status, I believe

12:41 am

stidmama

Jacula -- I haven't been in that situation, but I can tell it's hard on you. {{{HUG}}} remember, young people are very resilient...

12:42 am

cybernan

that's it -- 100 words and time to quit for the night. See you tomorrow :)

12:42 am

stidmama

see you tomorrow, nan! sleep well!

12:42 am

Jacula

Will do, Stid, and thanks for the hug.

12:43 am

Jacula

Cybernan - Sleep well'x

12:46 am

joey

Dr God, are you still here?

12:47 am

Avaneko

Ugh. You have to scroll to see all the words you have...kind of annoying.

12:47 am

ch1212

I'm with you, cyber -- at 100 that's enough for tonight. nite all -- be well and happy babbling.

12:47 am

stidmama

good night ch1212!

12:47 am

SamanthaJoy

I am utterly stuck at 68 words and feeling inadequate

12:48 am

stidmama

hi joey....

12:48 am

joey

hey, stidmama, how are U?

12:48 am

stidmama

SamanthaJoy -- I am at 87 words at the moment, need any help?

12:48 am

Jacula

I've tried, I really have! I prefer the old site.

12:48 am

stidmama

hanging in there, joey.... long day, long week, you know the routine.

12:49 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, yes, but I don't know that I should start here . . . Maybe a therapist or something

12:49 am

joey

sure do. sitting here waiting for the third devastating storm in 4 days.

12:49 am

stidmama

Jacula... dear... maybe you just need to rest a while? you're up awfully late today.

12:50 am

Jacula

Oh, well, I've paid for life, so I guess it doesn't matter whether I play or I don't.

12:50 am

stidmama

oh, I haven't been keeping up with the weather elsewhere this week... I remember someone had the windows in their house blow out a day or two ago -- was that you?

12:50 am

cying

ooh fireworks when i finish!

12:50 am

Jacula

No, Stid, I hate this new site. It WILL stop me playing.

12:50 am

joey

no, just lost plants so far and a lot of sleep

12:50 am

stidmama

Jacula... I understand. I am so sorry.... :-(

12:50 am

stidmama

joey, will keep my fingers crossed that it remains that way for you. :-)

12:50 am

SamanthaJoy

Are you in Texas, joey? We're in the same situation here.

12:51 am

stidmama

YAY cying!

12:51 am

Jacula

Me, too, Stid.xx

12:51 am

renfield

joey - has the storm hit you guys yet? we're waiting.....

12:51 am

joey

yes, SamanthaJoy, I am in Fort Worth

12:51 am

joey

we have rain and lightning, last night we had hail

12:51 am

cying

oh no... i hope you'll be okay joey... big storm?

12:52 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm south of you, NW of Austin, and I can hear the storm blowing in right now

12:52 am

joey

Ren, have you been hit hard this week+

12:52 am

joey

yes they are predicting 3 in a row tonight

12:52 am

Jacula

And never mind if the people who paid just get left to the scrapheap. It's all in the name of pgress, eh?

12:52 am

Jacula

or even progress.

12:52 am

renfield

yesterday we were..they said we were going to get heavy rain and wind....tornadoes - ows by you?

12:53 am

joey

rain, wind and lightning, no close tornados yet.

12:53 am

SamanthaJoy

What would you change, jacula?

12:53 am

stidmama

Jacula... I don't know what to say except that I am sad.

12:54 am

Jacula

Samantha - I'd unclutter the site.

12:55 am

Jacula

Put the log on a slower refresh back benaeath the grid. The bigger icons when clicking on profiles would be a good thing to keep, as would the last word and time it was entered.

12:56 am

SamanthaJoy

Move the stats back to another tab?

12:56 am

SamanthaJoy

I've just realized that I am seeing a different page than you; I am not a paid user, and your page has to have more info than mine does

12:56 am

renfield

joey - i've got the weather channel on and naturally - i missed it for the area.

12:57 am

joey

okay, I quit. the lightning is getting close. gotta get the flashlight

12:57 am

bendamalina

man, teflon should totally be a word

12:57 am

joey

Ren

12:57 am

Avaneko

I hate how you have to scroll to see all the words you have.

12:57 am

renfield

yes

12:57 am

joey

Ren, batten down the hatches. it is getting clase her

12:57 am

stidmama

good luck joey

12:57 am

Jacula

The scrollable grid is nice but not essential, but the found words list should stay on the left of the grid. The stats don't need to be below. There was really no hardship in flipping between the word list and the stats.

12:57 am

joey

that is close here. night all

12:57 am

joey

thanks all, quitting at 97

12:58 am

renfield

nite joey...take care -

12:58 am

Avaneko

Night joey. Stay safe

12:58 am

joey

you too. good luck to all

12:58 am

stidmama

renfield, how close is it to you then?

12:59 am

Jacula

The fire works on finishing are nice, but not essential, and, as I've said before, I'm not really fussed about the who's online or friend lists.

12:59 am

renfield

i'm in houston about 5 hours away from joey

1:00 am

Jacula

The new page is just all too much.

1:00 am

stidmama

so -- you're still okay? I used to hate storms when we lived in Virginia -- the things that we get here are nothing like those... (but bad enough for me!)

1:00 am

Jacula

HATE IT!

1:01 am

renfield

yes - the radar is shjoey's it's in her area right now

1:01 am

Jacula

I hope you lot having storms to come (as have we here in UK, though not so severe) wil all be okay.

1:01 am

Boysaway

I disagree Jacula, I think the new site is much better - my only point would be that there is a load of space to the left and right of the page (blue patterns) that is wasted.

1:01 am

stidmama

SamanthaJoy-- you should be seeing essentially what we're all seeing at the moment, the "stats" boxes will not be visible to non-paid users after 14 days, but otherwise most of the site is supposed to be the same for all of us!

1:02 am

SamanthaJoy

Oooohhhhhh, I see. I had thought y'all had more than I do

1:02 am

renfield

that was certanly a sentence that made sense - the radar is showing that the storm is hitting joey's area of the state right now

1:02 am

stidmama

I got the meaning of the post, renfield, if the words were a little contorted... :-)

1:03 am

Jacula

Boyassway - Clear space in not a bad thing - it gives you time to think! There again, I don't know your age. You could well be one of the fill everything with noise and colour generation. No disrespect, but that's not my thing.

1:03 am

SamanthaJoy

It's further south, too, Renfield. I'm in Liberty Hill (45 min NW of Austin) and I am expecting hail tonight. Again.

1:03 am

Boysaway

46

1:03 am

renfield

thanks stid....:D)

1:04 am

renfield

i wonder if that blue sapce is our time out or meditation space?

1:04 am

stidmama

I really want to get to 100 words before I stop tonight, I am at 87 now...

1:04 am

Avaneko

That sucks about all the tornadoes. Are they still saying this is going to be a busy year like the last one?

1:05 am

SamanthaJoy

Yes, the next *few* years are going to be bad. This is cyclical and it's been predicted for years.

1:05 am

Avaneko

Ah, Gotcha.

1:05 am

stidmama

when I don't want the blue, I make the window smaller so I don't see it. But it doesn't bother me in general...

BABBLE *IS* my timeout space! LOL

1:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Ask your insurance agent for details--the actuaries know more about it than the meteorologists do. ;D

1:06 am

renfield

and with all the building that;s going on here - there's no trees left and it's a total flood area now!

1:06 am

Jera

Good morning, everyone! What's up with the Who's Hot section of the rankings??

1:06 am

Avaneko

I was just wondering. I don't really need to worry since I live in Seattle.

1:07 am

Boysaway

I just thought that because the type face is quite small, the blue could be utilised to enlarge everything a bit to make it easier to read.

1:07 am

SamanthaJoy

Ouch. I understand why people do it, but I wouldn't live in Houston (or Seattle for that matter) for any amount of money.

1:07 am

Avaneko

Haha. Why not?

1:07 am

bbnaz

is the old board completely gone?

1:07 am

stidmama

'Morning, Jera! we're discussing the storm coming into Texas off the Gulf again... not sure what you're talking about....

1:07 am

SamanthaJoy

Not enough sunshine. I'd be suicidal within six months.

1:07 am

stidmama

The old board is not accessible now, no

1:08 am

Avaneko

Haha. You've never been here in the summer.

1:08 am

Avaneko

I start begging for the rain.

1:08 am

Boysaway

Ha, no-one's hot Jera! lol

1:08 am

renfield

i love the economics of houston - i hate the crime, the heat and the hurricanes

1:08 am

stidmama

If you are using most browsers, you should be able to increase the font size by going to the "View" tab....

1:08 am

SamanthaJoy

No, I have. It is beautiful, don't get me wrong--but it was still cloudy five days out of fourteen, and my hosts told it was sunny for the time of year.

1:08 am

Avaneko

lol

1:09 am

Avaneko

Yeah. That's true.

1:09 am

ellaenchanted

Hello everyone

1:09 am

ellaenchanted

Hello everyone how are you today?

1:09 am

Avaneko

heya

1:09 am

Jera

Oh well, guess something got reset. Just glad it's not just me!

1:09 am

Boysaway

stidmama, it makes no difference on Explorer

1:09 am

Avaneko

That's why you should use Mozilla...

1:10 am

SamanthaJoy

Ren and I are being rained on, Avaneko seems cheerful, and how are you?

1:10 am

Boysaway

tell me more avaneko

1:10 am

Avaneko

You can adjust font size and everything.

1:11 am

Avaneko

I personally like the tab feature of mozilla firefox.

1:11 am

Jacula

The storms are also due to hit UK, if anyone cares.

1:11 am

stidmama

oh -- that's too bad Boysaway. It's nice to be able to resize and stuff.

1:11 am

Boysaway

Is it free to download?

1:11 am

Jacula

As for making the font bigger..

1:11 am

Avaneko

Yup it is.

1:11 am

renfield

we're being rained on all over the world!!!!!!!!

1:11 am

SamanthaJoy

Whatever you're using--try holding down the "Ctrl" key and hitting the plus/equals key

1:12 am

stidmama

Oh -- I didn't realize that, Jacula! I thought you meant just that really big storms like the hurricanes don't hit the UK much... you mean your weather is going to go yucky, too?

1:12 am

Avaneko

Oh that's a quick solution too.

1:12 am

renfield

i just clikced increase on mozilla.....wow i can read it from across the street!!!!!

1:12 am

stidmama

we're supposed to get some rain in the next couple days (and I hope we do) but not "storm" rain, just liquid sunshine.

1:12 am

SamanthaJoy

I think that works with IE too

1:13 am

Avaneko

Yeah it should.

1:13 am

Jacula

For a bigger font in Firefox use the control key and hit the =/+ button twice.

1:13 am

renfield

my pineapple tree can use some rain...if it doesn;t blow it to cuba

1:14 am

Avaneko

holes

1:14 am

Avaneko

oh man!

1:14 am

Jacula

My house has been flooded 3 times (and 2 near misses). Each time takes 6 months to sort out. I no longer ave flood insurance, as no one will insure me. Next time it happens, I'm f*cked!

1:14 am

stidmama

Oh no! that is terrible, Jacula! I would be frantic each time it drizzled...

1:14 am

Avaneko

foed

1:15 am

Avaneko

geez. I keep doing that.

1:15 am

stidmama

AVANEKO! LOL ;-)

1:15 am

SamanthaJoy

It's OK, Avaneko, it's not actually a word :D

1:15 am

Krys10

(I tried it anyway :) )

1:15 am

Jacula

Stid - you're not jopking!

1:15 am

Avaneko

Haha. That's funny

1:15 am

SamanthaJoy

Have you considered selling, Jacula?

1:17 am

stidmama

no -- I am NOT joking. When we built out home, I purposefully looked for a piece of land that was UP. We're on the highest bit in the neighborhood, which is up a hill, on the banks of the sound. It would take an act of all the old gods working together (fat chance) to flood this house!

1:18 am

Jacula

Samantha - selling in the UK these days without telling al is a fineable offence.

1:18 am

Jacula

As I said, I'm f*cked.

1:18 am

Jacula

shoe

1:18 am

Jacula

shit!

1:18 am

SamanthaJoy

So have you considered tracking down the person who sold to you?

1:18 am

Avaneko

Our house used to flood. We had to build a drainage system. Never had problems after that.

1:18 am

Jacula

sorry!

1:19 am

Jacula

Said \I'd do it, din't I?

1:19 am

Ray100

New format is great! Much easier now to keep an eye on stats & chat log at the same time.

1:19 am

Jacula

Ray - I wish you'd stop posing as Dr_G!

1:20 am

stidmama

It's the same in our state, Jacula... hoping we don't ever have to sell -- but mostly because I like it here.

1:20 am

Ray100

I'm his twin brother.

1:22 am

Jacula

Avan - I used all my life saving to build dranage sytems that didn't work. Local ater board has now also done drainage systems which will work if new houses cease to be built! It's a Green Belt area here, but the present Government doesn't seem to honour that.

1:22 am

Jera

Odd puzzle today... no re's or un's...

1:22 am

Avaneko

Ah. I understand.

1:22 am

Jacula

No re's? Ex-Wren will love it!

1:22 am

stidmama

:-( *yucky face* governments these days just don't seem to care...

1:23 am

SamanthaJoy

I don't know that that's so much of a change, really

1:24 am

Jera

Not that I'm complaining really, just when things lag, looking for what follows an re or un can help...

1:25 am

SamanthaJoy

Hey, why *doesn't* "ensot" mean "to get drunk"?

1:25 am

Krys10

heh

1:25 am

Krys10

true, Jera -- gack! I am so tired... I think I'd better turn in. Got to 92 words, more than halfway so that's good enough. Hope to see you all tomorrow -- {{{Jacula}}}

1:25 am

Krys10

crap sorry

1:26 am

Avaneko

no worries Krys. Everyone has done it or is gonna do it.

1:26 am

renfield

looks like we're going to have a learning curve....

1:26 am

Avaneko

Night Night stid

1:26 am

SamanthaJoy

I've embarrassed nyself by doing it when I was guessing at stupid words

1:26 am

Jera

Doing better than me, I'm slogging along at only 68...

1:27 am

renfield

nite stid.....

1:30 am

Jacula

Teflon's not allowed.:(

1:30 am

SamanthaJoy

I think we decided that is because the word is still under copyright

1:30 am

Kickstart70

Is it spelled 'flack'? As in "taking ___"?

1:30 am

SamanthaJoy

usually, yes

1:31 am

Jera

Well today's theme is certainly getting me in the mood... I'm hostessing abig Mother/Daughter Victorian Tea Party next weekend!

1:31 am

Kickstart70

Hrm. I've always been writing it without k

1:31 am

Ray100

flak

1:31 am

Jera

I don't think there's a c in it, Kickstart...

1:31 am

Kickstart70

Ah, I see

1:31 am

Kickstart70

thx

1:32 am

SamanthaJoy

Huh. I thought "flak" and "flack" were two different words

1:32 am

Jera

Taking flak comes form the flak jacket soldiers wear (I think)

1:32 am

SamanthaJoy

Merriam Webster says they're alternate spellings of the same word

1:34 am

Jera

Aha... but neither valid? Never mind.. no K...

1:34 am

Krys10

has anyone found 7's except the D7/44 mentioned earlier? I'm bored, want to go hunting for big game :)

1:34 am

Jera

I think the no c version is older??

1:35 am

SamanthaJoy

I haven't added a word in fifteen minutes. I think I am officially stuck at 80

1:35 am

SamanthaJoy

The "no c" version is the first (most common) spelling

1:36 am

Krys10

i was catching up in the chat log. i'm sorry jacula is unhappy, but i really like having everything visible liek this. and the only reason i'm playing today is to see what the fireworks look like!

1:36 am

Jera

I just past tense some word & struggled up to 81...

1:36 am

Jera

Time to start monkey-typing!

1:37 am

Avaneko

Heh. I tried palace

1:38 am

SamanthaJoy

So did I, but only in my head

1:38 am

Kickstart70

Has anyone ever mentioned how many possible combinations of words in a 5x5 grid without re-using any characters?

1:39 am

Krys10

ugh, i could figure it out but not this late at night

1:39 am

Kickstart70

I'm awfully tempted to write a solver for this.

1:39 am

Krys10

there's a couple out there already

1:40 am

Krys10

google on "boggle solver"

1:40 am

Kickstart70

lathe

1:40 am

Kickstart70

dammit, sorry

1:40 am

Krys10

or tanglewood solver

1:40 am

SamanthaJoy

Not in this puzzle, anyway

1:40 am

Krys10

no, "tangleword solver"

1:40 am

Kickstart70

good thing it wasn't a word on this ;(

1:40 am

Krys10

I'm such a sheep - I still tried it :)

1:41 am

Jacula

Don't write any solvers, as that would spoil all your fun.

1:41 am

Kickstart70

heh

1:41 am

Kickstart70

I doubt I'll get many more unfortunately. At 60 and stumped.

1:42 am

Jacula

As for me not liking the new site... well, I may just go away, but I doubt it would blight anyone's life! LOL.

1:42 am

Avaneko

ARG! Why isn't pagent a word?

1:42 am

Krys10

pageant

1:42 am

renfield

mistress....you would do that to me!

1:42 am

SamanthaJoy

Because the word is "pageant"

1:42 am

Avaneko

lol

1:42 am

Avaneko

thanks guys.

1:43 am

Jera

It's pageant

1:43 am

Jacula

Ren - I wouldn't leave you, my dear, but I may leave the site.

1:43 am

Kickstart70

Doesn't like 'hoho'. What would Santa say?

1:43 am

Krys10

hohoho?

1:43 am

Avaneko

I love those.

1:44 am

sleeky

what would *Hostess* say?!

1:44 am

Jera

Yet haha would be valid... also hehs...

1:44 am

Kickstart70

uhoh?

1:44 am

renfield

would hostess say twinkie?

1:45 am

Kickstart70

Only one word using the X so far...anyone get another?

1:46 am

KBtoy

I got two words using the x, a 4 and a 5

1:46 am

Kickstart70

Ah, got the 5 with x now.

1:46 am

SamanthaJoy

Clue?

1:46 am

KBtoy

i'm up to 133 but still only found the f7. those other 7s must be tricky!

1:47 am

Kickstart70

g

1:47 am

Kermiteer

Hmmm...There are at least two words I have entered that are not showing up in my list, though I am told they have already been used when I try to re-add them...

1:47 am

renfield

there's a d 7

1:47 am

Jera

Try refreshing, Kermiteer

1:47 am

Krys10

ren - another D7, or the D7/44 mentioned earlier?

1:47 am

KBtoy

g, my gardening knowledge came in handy at last :)

1:48 am

SamanthaJoy

Got it, thank you!

1:48 am

Jera

I've only found one 6 so far, LOL

1:48 am

renfield

d 7/44 mentioned earlier

1:48 am

Krys10

sadly, no phlox for gardeners, though

1:48 am

Kickstart70

Which D starts the 7?

1:48 am

KBtoy

upper

1:49 am

Krys10

think about going to a rock concert or a runway

1:49 am

Kermiteer

Weird... refreshing didn't work until I hit my limit and posted. Your touch is Magic, Jera.

SamanthaJoy

Ooohhhhhhhh, sounds wonderful

1:51 am

chic

How's the grid?

1:51 am

renfield

my name is alice, i live in a palace

1:51 am

Jera

Glad to help Kermiteer... I had to quite yesterday because I couldn't enter my chat... I'd hit enter & nothing...

1:51 am

Kickstart70

That'd be nice...I can't leave the house for much these days...only a few weeks to baby :)

1:52 am

Jera

Sounds awesome, Jacula!!

1:52 am

renfield

1:53 am

Jera

SamanthaJoy

But the storm is officially getting really bad now

1:54 am

SamanthaJoy

Thode

Jacula

1:55 am

renfield

1:55 am

mrpresident

Hello everyone!! nice grid??

1:55 am

SamanthaJoy

The first half is a cakewalk

1:55 am

KBtoy

KBtoy

My silly husband woke me up looking for the phone.. now I can't get back to sleep... going over lists for the tea party made me realize it was hopeless & I might as well get up & Babble...

1:56 am

Jacula

1:56 am

Kickstart70

Stumped on that D7. 64 words only :(

1:56 am

1:59 am

Jacula

MrP - No, up very, very late.

1:59 am

renfield

LOL mistress! pull the shades!

2:00 am

Jacula

Did you get my mail earlier, MrP?

2:00 am

SamanthaJoy

100 words! Go me!

2:00 am

Jera

se5/10 = a name... any other definition? I ask because I was monkeytyping & was amazed it was valid...

Jacula

2:02 am

SamanthaJoy

I can't even find a name, so I can't look up the word

2:02 am

mrpresident

Oh yes I did Jac, I am ready to use it too, but haven't got Lickety interested in posting his clues yet... mmmmmm

2:03 am

KBtoy

yay I got a t6 I've never heard of before by noodling

2:03 am

renfield

what?????? zonk out????

2:04 am

Krys10

is anyone else getting weirderror messages and connection problems and having the time say there's less than one minute left?

2:04 am

Jera

My time wasn't showing at all for a while there, now I'm getting long lags...

2:04 am

trishtrash

Krys ... it's being a bit sticky for sure.

2:05 am

Kickstart70

I'm getting really slow response time yeah...but I did get the D7 :)

2:05 am

Krys10

mayhap i'll switch to sudoku for a while... or go to bed, now that it is midnight here

2:05 am

trishtrash

Does anyone have a P6? It's my last word, but it won't fall out of the grid for me.

2:06 am

Jera

Tell lickety to please post his clues as I am ready for a list...

2:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Ren, you know those storms? They're actually tornadoes up here now

2:06 am

Kickstart70

yeah, I have a p6...

2:06 am

Kickstart70

it's a plural

2:06 am

renfield

oh no sam!!!!!!

2:07 am

SamanthaJoy

It's not too bad--tornadoes that form at ngiht are almost never powerful, rarely go over F6

2:07 am

SamanthaJoy

Errrr, F2

2:07 am

trishtrash

Kickstart, is the singular in the grid? I don't seem to have anything that isn't already pluralised. *bimbles off to check again*

2:08 am

renfield

swooooossssshhhhhhhhh F6...auntie em, auntie em

2:08 am

Kickstart70

Where are you at?

2:08 am

Kickstart70

renfield: think 'calm'

2:08 am

SamanthaJoy

Heh. I'm in Central Texas

2:08 am

trishtrash

forget that, kickstart, I do already have a p6 that's a plural ... guess I need another. Thanks anyway :)

2:08 am

Kickstart70

Ah...my wife is from Alabama, I'm Canadian so I have no tornado experience ;)

2:09 am

renfield

i'm on the outskirts of houston in a really old house with lots of trees....

exsomnis

2:09 am

SamanthaJoy

Peaople have left anywhere from 65 to 100

2:09 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh, well, a tornado isn't going to come all the way to YOU

2:09 am

SamanthaJoy

Anyway

2:09 am

cindasu

2:10 am

The Student

Okay, WHAT?

2:10 am

The Student

oooh.

2:11 am

renfield

cindasu....how bad????

2:12 am

cindasu

it was just a small shaker but reading about your storms i jumped i haven't yet what it was

2:13 am

Krys10

# 50 km (31 miles) NNW (333°) from Chickaloon, AK
# 54 km (33 miles) N (358°) from Sutton-Alpine, AK
# 57 km (36 miles) N (10°) from Buffalo Soapstone, AK

2:14 am

renfield

nite kick

2:14 am

cindasu

yes it does

2:14 am

Krys10

i'm surprised you felt it!

2:14 am

trishtrash

Thanks, KBtoy, but this looks like another, singular word ... I have both the plural p6s .... thanks anyway :)

2:14 am

SamanthaJoy

I only have one--do you have clues?

2:15 am

mrpresident

hello trishtrash!

2:15 am

The Student

I find it interesting listening to people in America talking about storms. Things like tornados, snow storms and even earthquakes are a completely foreign concept to me.

2:15 am

KBtoy

the other p6 is only one letter different than the easy p6

2:15 am

trishtrash

Heya MrP :)

2:15 am

Avaneko

where are you from?

2:15 am

SamanthaJoy

A tornado is just a hurricane on land

2:16 am

mrpresident

Jera, Lickety is posting very shortly

2:16 am

Krys10

it's very localized.. i was thinking about that when the texans were talking about tornados that were f6 or whatever.. we talk about earthquakes that way on the west coast and i grew up in blizzard country but i know nothing about tornados

2:16 am

trishtrash

Samantha ... I have the plural of the state of not being at war, and pe + a long time

2:16 am

The Student

Australia, down south in Melbourne - home of the last Commonwealth Games.

Never seen snow!

2:16 am

KBtoy

not to be too pedantic but a tornado is literally a waterspout on land, not a hurricane :P

2:16 am

SamanthaJoy

GOT IT! Thank you

2:16 am

Krys10

i thought hurricanes weren't funnel shaped and tornados were (see?)

2:16 am

REG

What part of Alaska are you in?

2:16 am

Avaneko

Ah, okay.

2:16 am

KBtoy

OMG i got the other p6

2:17 am

trishtrash

OOh, hand it over (well, a clue) KBtoy !

2:17 am

Krys10

i recently learned the difference between sleet, hail, and freezing rain :)

2:17 am

cindasu

anchorage

2:17 am

REG

Me, too.

2:18 am

SamanthaJoy

Hurricanes tend to spread out more, mostly because of the water they carry, but they're basically the same shape and characterized by many of the same elements

2:18 am

KBtoy

never heard of this word before (of course) but google says "small boat powered by foot"

2:19 am

Krys10

got it! thanks

2:19 am

The Student

Is it almost hurricane season in the US again?

2:19 am

gameboyguy13

yeah, just about another month

2:20 am

KBtoy

hurricanes are really a totally different phenomenon & carry millions of times the energy of a single tornado, & usually affect entire states or even multiple states

2:20 am

gameboyguy13

officially starts june 1, I think

2:20 am

SamanthaJoy

Yes, starts in June or early July, and the tornadoes are already on us

2:20 am

KBtoy

whereas a tornado usually affects a trailer park or two :)

2:20 am

trishtrash

THANK YOU!! KBtoy :)

2:20 am

rolin

hmm...the metric 'tonne' is not allowed

2:20 am

SamanthaJoy

That's because they go along the coast. Tornadoes can also affect multiple states in the midwest

2:20 am

SamanthaJoy

We've already had several deaths this season

2:21 am

trishtrash

Rolin, the N's don't lead back up to the E

2:21 am

Krys10

Hurricanes and tornadoes both form in warm, damp air when winds blow into each other from opposite directions. Hurricanes develop over warm, tropical oceans, while tornadoes form over land and are more violent. In a hurricane, the winds swirl around in a spiral at up to 200 mph. In the middle is a calm "eye" 4 - 25 miles wide, surrounded by the worst wind and driving rain.

A tornado is a tall, funnel-shaped whirlwind of cloud up to 2,000 feet high. In the middle is an eye of descending air, surrounded by a strong upward current that sucks up or destroys everything in its path. Tornadoes can travel hundreds of miles before they die dow

2:21 am

gameboyguy13

you can't get tonne though. the second n isn't next to an e

2:21 am

Krys10

i love google

2:21 am

KBtoy

only rarely & even then it's a narrow line that happens to cross state lines

2:21 am

rolin

lol..that'd do it...

2:21 am

KBtoy

*laugh* right on Krys

2:21 am

rolin

2:21 am

SamanthaJoy

Krys, you're wonderful

2:22 am

rolin

oops

2:22 am

trishtrash

Okay, I have to go - in laws on their way, sorry to beg for my last clue and run. Hope you tornado-prone peeps all stay safe!

2:22 am

The Student

Speaking of NOLA, which i just monkey tried, is it ready if it happens again?

2:22 am

rolin

sorry sorry sorry

2:22 am

rolin

its this new site/...

2:22 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up everyone. Problem though, I have 1 too many O words.

2:22 am

licketySplitAUS

O well!

2:22 am

gameboyguy13

no, new orleans probably isn't ready for another hurricane.

2:22 am

SamanthaJoy

Clues are up where, if you please?

2:23 am

KBtoy

NOLA's in trouble but at least this summer everyone'll get the heck out of town at the first sign of an approaching storm

2:23 am

Krys10

thank you!

2:23 am

licketySplitAUS

Check 'Friends of Babble'

2:23 am

gameboyguy13

yeah. that's always been a problem with hurricanes: no one wants to evacuate. hopefully that's been fixed now.

2:23 am

SamanthaJoy

Gotcha! Thank you!

2:24 am

SamanthaJoy

Hell, Houston *couldn't* evacuate. There were literally people stuck in traffic for 24 hours or more, who didn't make it ten miles

2:24 am

KBtoy

last I heard, there's a good chance New York or Philly or DC'll get a hurricane this year

2:25 am

SamanthaJoy

I think I should unplug the computer now. It's getting scary out there.

2:25 am

The Student

Watching it from over here it was just amazing how that could happen, worse was hering about the sort of lives that were lost through stark effing illconcern for people, such as the people in the retirement home.

2:26 am

Avaneko

If that's true...There goes Manhatten.

2:26 am

SamanthaJoy

Thank you all very much for your company; I will upgrade to Pro tomorrow. This is lots of fun.

2:26 am

Avaneko

Bye bye Sam!

2:27 am

KBtoy

Australia's been hit by some big cyclones lately I've heard

2:28 am

The Student

Yeah they got a massive one through just North of Townsville, destoyed almost every single banana plantation. They cost almost as much as unleaded fuel here at the moment.

2:29 am

Avaneko

Oh no! I have friends there. Haven't talked to them in a while though.

2:29 am

renfield

kboy...don;t tell me that - i'll be on long island most of the summer......

2:31 am

KBtoy

ah, nothing to worry about, hurricanes are just big nasty storms unless you live in a city below sea level

2:31 am

The Student

Global warming anyone?

2:32 am

Avaneko

Probably.

2:32 am

renfield

yes student....we've become a country of cement....cut down those trees!!! right

2:33 am

KBtoy

now's the time to buy summer vacation houses in upper canada

2:34 am

Avaneko

Sort of already did that.

2:34 am

KBtoy

yeah avaneko, what'd you do?

2:34 am

Avaneko

Except its not for summer.

2:34 am

Avaneko

We have a place in Whistler.

2:35 am

KBtoy

whistler?

2:35 am

Avaneko

Just North of Vancouver. Not far up North.

2:36 am

KBtoy

2:37 am

Avaneko

It's a cool place. I call it Little Hong Kong.

2:38 am

licketySplitAUS

Extra O word gone from clues now. All fixed up.

2:38 am

The Student

I really like the idea of travelling to Canana, if anyone has a floor I can stay on and isn't an axe murderer...

2:38 am

mrpresident

Thank you Lickety!!

2:41 am

renfield

LOL student - what about texas and those chain saw murder movies?

2:42 am

The Student

2:42 am

renfield

ewwwwwww........

2:43 am

3:04 am

Krys10

bad in the "it's so addictive i may never get out of bed" way or bad in the "it's so awful I don't want to tell you" way?

3:05 am

sprite

The first one. Like "if you value your time, you don't wanna know". But you wanna know, I know ;)

3:06 am

mrpresident

LOL Krys! Sprite is the queen of word puzzles!! It is just a romp in the park for Sprite ;)

3:06 am

Krys10

bad like this?

3:10 am

mrpresident

oh krys! badder!!

3:10 am

Krys10

ooh! i want one!

3:11 am

sprite

Eeeeeeeks! Now that is a challenge. Yeah, I'd say yours is almost as bad :)

3:15 am

mrpresident

mind you Krys... that is overwhelming to me!! I think it would take about a week with the family to figure that out!!

3:16 am

sprite

On a side note: I keep wanting to make adagios. It is driving me bananas.

3:18 am

mrpresident

Sprite did you do the grid names yesterday?? Cliffopa had a list of First Names we found together... there were almost as many names as words on the log!!

3:19 am

sprite

No, I didn't know about that. What a shame, lol.

3:29 am

sprite

Am I the only one having trouble with almost posting words in the log?

3:30 am

Avaneko

All the time.

3:30 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. Is the grid a joy or a pain today?

3:31 am

sprite

I suggested to Dr_G that the cursor would jump back to the Add Word window after posting a message in the chatlog, but he thinks that is 'counter-intuitive'. My intuition is apparently of another kind, lol.

3:31 am

Krys10

no, we've all been doing it tonight

3:32 am

markro

good...morning/afternoon/evening...

3:32 am

Krys10

it's only counter-intuitive if you plan to post consecutively

3:32 am

Haz1558

Hello markro. Hard to know what time of day it is with people, isn't it?

3:33 am

Krys10

and i think counterintuitive is actually one word :P

3:33 am

sprite

It's a shame, I thought it was a simple and elegant solution to the problem. I'd say we should not encourage people to post in the chatlog too fast after the last one, lol.

3:35 am

markro

96 words left and struggling!!!

3:36 am

gameboyguy13

me too!

3:36 am

sprite

Just keep on looking, markro, I am at 67 and there are still new ones coming up. Looks like they are really there today, lol.

3:37 am

MaisieB

I can't find any 7 letter words yet, mind you I've not been awake long. Any clue?

3:37 am

Haz1558

de7/44 - to affect hearing

3:38 am

Krys10

D7 - why you should not go to loud rock concerts

3:38 am

Krys10

T7 - important to rock climbers

3:38 am

gameboyguy13

ooh nice. thanks.

3:38 am

MaisieB

Of course- I'd got the 6 letter version of that. Thanks Haz

3:38 am

Krys10

O7 - a singular occurance

3:39 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

3:39 am

markro

a noise annoys

3:39 am

Krys10

well, the O7 is not a noun

3:40 am

MaisieB

Krys I know nothing about rock climbing

3:41 am

Krys10

you don't know anything technical about rock climbing to understand why this T7 is important :)

3:41 am

Krys10

i mean, you don't *need* to know...

3:41 am

MaisieB

and load of words fore a singular occurance but obviously not the right one. This game make me feel really thick sometimes

3:42 am

Krys10

it's an odd word - sort of old-fashioned

3:43 am

mrpresident

you don't need to know, but a bigtoe or two would help! ;)

3:44 am

Haz1558

Don't feel thick - everyone's mind works in a different way and the clue just hasn't registered with you yet. (I haven't got it yet either)

3:44 am

BiLiB

mrpresident - thanks!

3:45 am

MaisieB

Thanks Haz you've made me feel much better

3:45 am

Haz1558

Good - now to keep looking for that word....

3:48 am

sprite

Now those were beautiful clues for the 7s! Thanks :)

3:48 am

Krys10

the fireworks are wicked cool!
(thanks - i like more cryptic clues rather than the rebus style)
g'night everyone! it's almost 2 AM here!

3:48 am

MaisieB

I just tried a lovely 7 letter word starting with to and ending in F4/8 and it's not a word. It would be very handy for rock climbing too

3:49 am

Krys10

maisie, you're awfully close!

3:49 am

sprite

You are getting warm, Maisie!

3:49 am

sprite

And congrats on finishing, Krys!

3:49 am

MaisieB

Got the rock climbing one !!!!

3:50 am

mrpresident

Good job Maisie!!

3:50 am

ellaenchanted

hello

3:50 am

ellaenchanted

thade

3:50 am

sprite

I think you were close to the O7 as well with that F4.

3:51 am

sprite

I agree on the clues, Krys. I don't like the "then an inverted N" kind of clues either, they are like spelling it out more than hinting towards the meaning.

3:51 am

Krys10

how fitting - the last word i entered means both hello and goodbye.

3:51 am

gameboyguy13

... that's not an english word. :P

3:51 am

Haz1558

I've now got the on7 - never seen it used with a singular number.

3:52 am

Krys10

if i close my browser will my fireworks go away, does anyone know?

3:52 am

gameboyguy13

only one way to find out about that, krys10

3:52 am

sprite

I do not know

3:52 am

Krys10

i mean, will they be there when i come back?

3:52 am

mrpresident

Yes it does Krys!

3:52 am

MaisieB

Got the on 7 too they are similar

3:53 am

Krys10

phooey. here goes nothing!

3:53 am

MaisieB

Just 25 5 letter words to find now

3:53 am

sprite

Ywis, Krys!

3:54 am

gameboyguy13

I have 82 left. :\ this may take a while

3:54 am

sprite

In that case, Maisie, it's time to check your list for plurals, LOL!

3:54 am

Krys10

FYI yes, they go away :(

3:54 am

sprite

Like real fireworks, Krys, enjoy them while they last.

3:55 am

mrpresident

Finished! Such pretty colours!!

3:55 am

Krys10

*sigh* i suppose so.

3:55 am

sprite

Good job, mrP :)

3:56 am

mrpresident

Thanks, Sprite :)

3:58 am

Haz1558

Congratulations mrpresident!

3:59 am

sprite

Wow, 3 words that use the X, all of a sudden I see them.

3:59 am

gameboyguy13

I only have one.

4:00 am

sprite

Mine start C, F and G.

4:00 am

gameboyguy13

I know the F one but not the other two. hm.

4:01 am

gameboyguy13

hm. didn't know those were words

4:01 am

sprite

They must be babblets :)

4:04 am

sprite

Another F that is anagram of the first.

4:04 am

gameboyguy13

I don't think I've found any that use the m yet

4:05 am

sprite

I am down to 9 and I haven't found any yet either.

4:08 am

Nice fireworks!

4:10 am

Thank you Haz!

4:13 am

MaisieB

I just got booted out, logged back on but my tile stats have gone, I tried refreshing but that didn't work. any ideas?

4:22 am

Eva

Good moning everyone.

4:22 am

oggy

morning all. im done. the fireworks are good.

4:23 am

mrpresident

Maisie, what stats have gone?? the ones on the bottom of the grid??

4:23 am

MaisieB

Took a while but they're back

4:24 am

mrpresident

Oh good!!

4:32 am

oggy

has the old babble site gone now, i cant get on it.

4:39 am

MaisieB

cens

4:40 am

MaisieB

Sorry about that- trying silly words now but cursor was in the wrong place

4:42 am

Haz1558

oggy - the old one has now been replaced with the new look one.

4:51 am

rumplestiltskin

I don't understand about the fireworks. I finished the puzzle yesterday, but didn't see any fireworks anywhere? Am I studid or what?

4:51 am

rumplestiltskin

I meant stupid!!!

4:52 am

AngelaC

new to babble - can anyone explai the tile stats

4:52 am

FranMag

tile stats show how many words start with each tile

4:52 am

Haz1558

rumplestiltskin - the fireworks happen on top of the tile stats on the new babble page. If you were playing on the old site, you wouldn't have seen them, but from now on, it'll be there.

4:53 am

AngelaC

doh! thank you

4:53 am

rumplestiltskin

No, I have played on the new site since it's inception.

4:53 am

Haz1558

The tile stats show how many words come off each tile. If you look at Angelsong's babble resource page (under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page) you'll find all sorts of explanations about things.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Maybe you need to contact Dr-God - there's probably some technical explanation for it. The fireworks are fun, so make sure you get them!

4:55 am

Haz1558

Time to go!

jo_jo

5:07 am

gameboyguy13

5:08 am

jo_jo

ah thanks, that explains a lot

5:08 am

faeriekae

I'm not even supose to be playing yet. I'm not out of bed. well I am but I think I'll go back to bed and try this over again.

5:08 am

Eva

could someone else try going to the entire chat log and see if it happens to you too? i.e. that while it is loading the entries are there, but when it finishes loading they are all gone?

5:08 am

mrpresident

gameboy it is an exasperation !! in the past tense

5:09 am

mrpresident

Eva, I did, and it didn't happen to me... sorry

5:09 am

faeriekae

I'll check it out Eva brb

5:09 am

Eva

5:09 am

gameboyguy13

5:11 am

mrpresident

I have all the posts with icons

5:12 am

Eva

yup-yu can get that far by scrolling down here. But the rest of the log is supposed to be accesible by clicking on the TV screen thing at the far left above, and that isn't working properly. Thanks for trying.

5:12 am

faeriekae

I have to get showered and dressed I'll be back in bit to join and hopefully I won't be entering words into the chat.

5:12 am

faeriekae

Good Morning im wonderingif someone could tell me how to print the grid.i would aways print the grid and take it with me to work on at my leisure ,but with the new side when i want to print itcomes out with the grid but minus the letters and 9 pages of printed pages of the stats plus chat.

eh.... itunes.... hmm whatever.....cool... :) does anyone else have an ipod?

8:45 am

Myriad

Yeah I have one

8:45 am

colby cheese

myriad, do you like it???? what are the good things and the bad things about it?

8:46 am

Myriad

I love it. It's great at the gym. Umm bad things? I guess short battery life if you're watching video and umm price :D

8:46 am

Babbler

colby cheese, a couple of friends have iPods. One said the battery life diminished really fast and he only gets like 30 mins if he's lucky. Another friend there isn't that much memory and it can get really boring really fast.

8:47 am

Myriad

I have the 6 gig, so it doesn't get boring hehe

8:47 am

Babbler

but for jogging or out and about, they're very handy, they said.

8:47 am

Myriad

also you can change the music anytime you want if it gets boring right?

8:47 am

Babbler

wow... 6 gigs!! was that mega expensive?

8:47 am

Babbler

Myriad - my friend has yet to learn about iTunes... ; )

8:47 am

colby cheese

cool... thanks guys. im looking to buy one, that's why i asked!

8:47 am

Myriad

yeah :\ Haha but it was worth it

8:48 am

Myriad

I use it as a hard drive kind of, I don't have any MP3s on my computer, I just plug in my ipod if I want to listen on it

8:48 am

Myriad

saves space on the computer

8:48 am

Babbler

yeah, I'm considering getting an mp3 player, but I haven't decided if it's going to be iPod or Sony yet. I hear Sony are a tad better...

8:49 am

Myriad

The battery is really good as long as you're just listening to music. If you're playing games or watching video you only get like 3 hours

If you have 7 words left, it means you haven't found them, so they shouldn't show up on your Word List
