1:14 am
kristinc

1:14 am
BGL
Is your husband a solo pastor or is he on a staff?
1:16 am
kristinc
BGL...just me as the only other staff and even that is new (part time). Small church, about 80 in our congregation, we're in North Seattle. Love what we do btw.
1:18 am
BGL
I understand the love. I usually look forward toe ach day of work, especially if it is a day I'm working with the children or youth. Ours is a small church to have 2 pastors (about 150 regualr worshippers). But they are committed to children and youth ministry.
1:18 am
kristinc
and with that, I should go to be because I do need to work tomorrow. Thanks for the chat folks, good luck on the puzzle (seems easier than yesterday)

7:04 am
Eva
To those of you from the school-we welcome everyone, not matter what their ages....we'd lvoe to have you play with us. But a lot of us have been playing this game with each other for a long time and there are sort of informal "rules" about how to join in. We don't abbreviate, at least not much, because we love words and speaking proper english. We do often chat about non-babble things, to get to know each other and when we are stuck, but we do it knowing that it is not a private conversation, but includes everyone listening. And we try hard to be kind and polite.
7:04 am

Was it bad again?
7:12 am
Unicorn

7:12 am
amandacath
It got a little ugly for a while, but for the most part it's not bad, just too much of it
7:12 am
Unicorn
at least Miss ABS was here yasterday
7:13 am
Eva
I think its just going to take them a little while and a little guidance in terms of learning how to apprpirately use the site. Then the ones who really enjoy playing will stick around and the others will go back to MSN
7:13 am
sprite
Yes, things are definitely better when she is on. Still it's too bad it has to be like that.
7:13 am
Eva
Does anyone have direct access to Miss ABS?
7:14 am
mrpresident
One of the teenagers was being rude! but they are gone!
Most of the kids are nice and need a little introduction to community chats, that's all! please have patience !!
As far as the rude and disrespectful ones go... leave them to me!!!

Yep Sprite, and she has warned me who they are! It is best to let her know cause she can have influence, but even sometimes they ignore her!
She has asked me to give them warnings and I am now doing that.

Thanks mrp! I guess the major guidelines I would offer are: 1) That except for very brief interchanges, this should not be used for one-on-one conversations 2) Regular English 3) Have some patience and spend time working on the grid themselves before asking for help

8:42 am
sprite
Yeah, that's 3 indeed! LOL
8:42 am
faeriekae
Well that's even better to show off her little sparkling ears :) And much easier on you.
8:43 am
musicmom
I can't believe how my girls are growing up. Sarah really looks like a young lady any more
8:43 am
faeriekae
It's just gets better though Music you get to see the fruits of your labor growing every single day.
8:44 am
musicmom
that is true faerie and we really have a lot of fun together.
8:45 am
faeriekae
Is Sarah wearing a bra yet. That is when it starts to be kinda funny.
8:45 am
musicmom
yes she is wearing a bra and shaving her legs
8:46 am
sprite
Not a 6 year old, for sure!
8:46 am
musicmom
No Sprite - Sarah is my 12 year old
8:46 am
faeriekae
OMG shaving her legs you gotta be freakin' out.
8:46 am
sprite
O dear, did I get it all mixed up again? Sorrrrry!
8:47 am

No problem. I get them mixed up all the time:-)!
8:47 am
faeriekae
Sprite Hannah is 6 and Sarah is 12. Don't you know anything about Musicmoms family. LOL
8:47 am
musicmom
Yeah - Faerie - it became one of those pick your battle moments. I tried to tell her no for a while but I didn't really have a good reason - other than I wish I were still 12 and didn't have to shave
8:47 am
aqua spring

8:50 am
musicmom
Yeah Amanda - how did it go?
8:50 am
musicmom
Faerie - we realized when we went to see DaVinci Code that Greg looks like Tom Hanks now that his hair is longer
8:50 am
faeriekae
ROFL and the sad thing is, is that it's the truth.
8:50 am
amandacath
It went fairly well, thanks. A few line bungles, a couple of technical glitches, but all in all... sadly, no funny stories to tell!
8:50 am
faeriekae
OMG Tom Hanks is soooo cute.
8:51 am
musicmom
That is excellent Amanda -- how long a run do you have?

good morning.
8:56 am

Donald: you stare at the grid until you see a word, then you enter it in the Add Word box and you hope for the best.
8:56 am
musicmom
donald --- all tiles have to be connected and not used more than once in each word
8:56 am

good morning, spec
8:56 am

I think you enter words on the grid and get whatever you can
8:56 am

8:56 am
musicmom
check out angelsong's page (linked at the bottom) for more explicit instruction
8:57 am
Haz1558
Donald - we often refer new players to Angelsong's resource page under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page. It gives lots of information.
8:57 am
sprite
They must be connected, Donald.
8:57 am
musicmom
are they connected to each other?
8:57 am
Donald Rat III
ok
8:57 am
musicmom
This is like Boggle if you have ever played that game
8:57 am
faeriekae
to learn to play babble you should go to the bottom of the page and click on Anglesongs Resource page and read the rules and come back and join us. You can also as for clues
8:57 am
amandacath
Donald: no proper nouns, no abbreviations or acronyms. However the word list the site uses can be inconsistent on those.

Marisun - you are probably looking for the one that looks like cheese but - one consonant
8:59 am
Haz1558
ch6/27 is the plural for ch5/16 - sounds like meat that has been cooked too long, but spelt differently
8:59 am

amandacath

9:52 am
faeriekae

9:52 am
nrkii
is either a compound word, for instance?
9:52 am
musicmom
ai8 is a compound
9:52 am
nrkii
nice fairie!
9:53 am
musicmom
de8 is a pain to figure out it is a series of periods of 10 yeras
9:53 am
nrkii
oh, can't believe I missed that!
9:53 am
faeriekae
nrkii ai 8 is what you breath plus what sits on top of your shoulders *teehee* I actually have that one
9:54 am
nrkii
Got the AI -- that's the one I should have seen earlier!
9:54 am
nrkii
Going to play around a bit with the DE now...

10:03 am
faeriekae
Bryan when I went to bed I only need 50 to finish but I got up this morning and had 218 to go. Must be something wrong with the system huh?
10:04 am
Marisun

10:04 am
amandacath
Oh, that thing. know what you're talking about, now if I can only remember what it's called....
10:04 am
faeriekae
Marisun - I've been having 4 letter words scoring as 5's so I'm not complaining.
10:04 am
BryanC

10:07 am
faeriekae
Nan just screwing with your head....it seems to be easy to do that today LOL
10:07 am
nrkii
the FE 6/30 fox word sounds like FE + what connects your head to your shoulders, but double the middle consonant
10:07 am
nrkii
yeah, I'm groggy and gullible
10:07 am
Atalante
refresh for a pic of the fe6/30 :)

Er-lie in the mor-nin?
10:31 am
Vicuna
Sheesh, that refresh took forever. But at last I can see that you are highly appropriate, jbp!
10:32 am
jbp
nrkii you're not so bad yourself! ;-)
10:32 am
BryanC
back- bethlehem, i know that too- nice town too
10:32 am
musicmom
sometimes I think it would be nice if the grid were like a Chinese puzzle box - we could slide the tiles around
10:32 am
Vicuna
(Yo ho, and up she rises...)
10:32 am
jbp
i believe that is the first time that sentence has EVER been uttered! thx, Vic
10:33 am
stidmama
musicmom, even in the biggy-size I can't make our your icon... a stage show of some kind.
10:33 am
nrkii
wow, what was with that refresh -- I was very very scared
10:33 am
BryanC
i'll check that site Owl- will volunteer if i'm in the neighborhood! i think i'm going to lancaster for a day next weekend
10:34 am
Atalante
but then we'd have 1000 word puzzles! eeeep!
10:34 am
Vicuna
Being appropriate in Babbleville takes a whole different skill set from cubicleland.
10:34 am
musicmom
It is a current photo of the show choir I was in 19 years ago. The uniforms have really changed
10:34 am
jbp
indeed, vic!
10:34 am
musicmom
ata - hadn't thought of that
10:34 am
jbp
not that i'm appropriate here much either
10:34 am
stidmama
thanks. things do change in that length of time don't they!
10:35 am
musicmom
Yep We all wore tuxedo shirts, bow ties and cummerbunds. The girls wore circle skirts. Guys wore tuxes.
10:35 am
musicmom
Now the guys wear suits but the girls wear formals
10:36 am
Vicuna
Pretty much the only inappropriate thing here is trollism, so you're more appropriate than you think.
10:39 am
jbp
i need one of the fe 6/30 words... I have the one that's wasteland+bodypart
10:39 am
amandacath
two more ch's for me, then I'm off - anyone have the last two (after the cook)?
10:40 am
nrkii
jbp, was scared of
10:40 am
musicmom
funny thing about show choir... Most of us got our sr. pictures taken in the uniform. Mom said it wasn't a good idea, but I did it anyway. Now I hate my sr. pictures.
10:40 am
Vicuna
fe6/30 - past tense of fe4 that's a soft material
10:40 am
72 Temple Owl
--------> stage manager bryan - staging is the best work...
10:41 am

Bye, amanda.
10:44 am
jbp
i don't get the gas (i bet it involves fish)
10:44 am
stidmama
I only have one et 6 gas word... is there another et 6, or just another gas word?
10:44 am
stidmama
bye amanda!
10:44 am
musicmom
they are both e words stid - just change the vowel
10:44 am
abe79
there is another et 6, stidmama, change vowel
10:45 am
stidmama
thanks abe.
10:45 am
musicmom
You don't get gas jbp? Do you take Beano?
10:45 am
jbp
gas like fuel or gas like not liquid nor solid?
10:45 am
jbp
my cubemates might beg to differ
10:46 am
jbp
ok, i got the one that ends in the guys who served their leige lords
10:46 am
jbp
but i don't see how there can be another vowel....
10:46 am
stidmama
that should NOT have taken me so long! LOL jbp it's a fuel used for gas stoves....
10:47 am
72 Temple Owl
just type it!
10:47 am
jbp
sorry i don't see it
10:47 am
musicmom
WHY do I never see the opera solos right away? Lame!
10:47 am
nrkii
jbp, start from different E
10:48 am
nrkii
musicmom, I missed those too!
10:48 am
musicmom
jbp - just change it. starts in the lower e
10:48 am
stidmama
a whole new line and slogan for Nike... "Just Type It" for office wear...
10:48 am
nrkii
and I knew to look for them
10:48 am
stidmama
thanks for pointing them out musicmom! :-)
10:48 am
jbp
how can i start from a different e, when there's only 1 e for et words?
10:48 am
Atalante
there are 2 :)
10:48 am
stidmama
of course, I always miss the body parts...
10:48 am
musicmom
no there isn't
10:49 am
72 Temple Owl
LOL! sometimes even after i've followed a phonetic clue, i STILL cannot see it!
10:49 am
jbp
catch of the day is here --ahoy!
10:49 am
musicmom
jbp - are you using the same grid the rest of us has??<G>
10:49 am
nrkii
meanwhile, an hour later, I am still looking for the de 8 and I feel like I've typed in every possible combination... I know it has to start with same first 5 letters of the 6/24 that follows it... from there, I don't know...
10:49 am
nrkii
(like shooting fish in a barrel?)
10:50 am
abe79
ok nrkii, let's crack this....do you have de 6/24?
10:50 am
stidmama
there's a de 8? *dives into grid*
*splash*
10:50 am
jbp
de + the first 3 letters for "penny". double the final letter of that + add 2 vowels
10:50 am
Vicuna
Nrkii, for the de8, think of the ending of flowers that grow year after year.
10:50 am
72 Temple Owl
btw - being navy day, we have to harpoon you
10:50 am
musicmom
de+first three letters of a penny+consonant+two vowels
10:50 am
musicmom
hey I didn't have the de6 thanks!
10:50 am
jbp
ahoy indeed. thar she blews!
10:51 am

11:41 am
Layne
Hello babblers. Does it seem terribly wrong to anyone else that "innards" is not considered a valid word? Or is this a southernism not in general use?
11:41 am
Atalante
try it again ;)
11:41 am
abe79
try it again layne, the site is funky right now
11:42 am
Layne
Ooh, thanks Atalante and abe79! My faith is restored!

11:48 am
nrkii
walnut, I went to the site you told me about, and then followed that path to another where someone is compiling a collection of Fibs to e-publish in the late summer ... I submitted two
11:48 am
Minski
Well, it's smaller than yesterday's but still not a short list. How is it treating us today?
11:49 am
nrkii
Minski, not too bad today -- first 100 - 140 should come easy
11:49 am
boreetos
how is "dehearse" not a word? We used to dehearse all the time before plays. That's when you goof off back stage and forget your lines and blocking.
11:49 am
nrkii
nice boreetos :)
11:49 am
abe79
yay nrkii!
11:49 am
Layne
boreetos, it could also mean when they take the coffin out of the vehicle at the cemetery.
11:50 am
Minski
whoops. bad start already.
11:50 am
musicmom
BRAVO nrkii
11:50 am
walnutchen
wow. thats cool nrkii. I'm more shy about my fibs....
11:50 am
nrkii
ah minski, I thought you were simply drawing out a thought :)
11:50 am
Erda
You could also come back to life and step out of the hearse -- dehearse.....
11:51 am
Erda
sorry about that
11:51 am
nrkii
or, you could convert an old funeral car to an everyday car (as I've seen people do), and that would be dehearse as well, right?
11:51 am
boreetos
that's true, that would be the second usage. "Ok, guys, time to dehearse the car, and then rehearse the ground."
11:51 am
Cherrypop
Kind of up there with de judge!
11:51 am
Layne
LOL, Erda.
11:51 am
BGL
last two fe6/30, please?

i guess, you'd kind of have to park the car in a grave to do that, but you know what i mean.
11:52 am
musicmom
Hey BGL -- you want your nieces for the summer?
11:52 am
BGL

11:52 am
musicmom
I have past tense of craft fabric and a type of fox BGL
11:52 am
nrkii
bgl, one is when you apply soft fabric to a poker table, the table becomes FE****
11:53 am
musicmom
I just straightened up all the pillows on the couch. Turned around and Hannah had thrown them back on the floor
11:53 am
nrkii
bgl, the other sounds like FE + part of your body that connects your head to your shoulders, but double the consonant in the middle
11:53 am
BGL
she's 6 give her a break... :)
11:54 am
BGL
Thanks, got 'em
11:54 am
BGL
Afterall, they can't go swimming. :P
11:54 am
musicmom
I wish the pool didn't have problems. I had every thought of letting them play in it all day today. Now it looks like it will be at least Sunday before it is ready
11:54 am
musicmom
LOL exactly!
11:55 am
musicmom
They do have bikes, basketball, soccer, bubbles, sidewalk chalk -- so why are they in here pestering me?
11:55 am
musicmom
They also have a huge stack of library books
11:55 am
nrkii
musicmom, here's what you could be experiencing with a 6 year old girl (courtesy of my niece): replacing the toothpaste with water, adding cream to the sugar bowl to make coffee fixing a one-step process, replacing hair gel with water, drawing pictures on wall and signing her older brother's name...
11:55 am
BGL
because the LOVE you!!!
11:55 am
Layne
Has anyone found a use for the Q?
11:55 am
musicmom
nrkii --- I think I would have throttled after the toothpaste.
11:55 am
boreetos
no q words today.
11:55 am
musicmom
however the coffee fixing idea makes sense:-)
11:56 am
nrkii
no layne, no use for q at all
11:56 am
Layne
TY, boreetos and nrkii
11:56 am
nrkii
well, after the mild throttling, she then got really mad...
11:56 am
boreetos
yeah unless you use liquid creamer.
11:56 am
nrkii
and scratched her bike many times against side of daddy's car
11:56 am
Layne
I keep wanting to make ranque or henque or some such.
11:56 am
nrkii
(yes, it was liquid creamer)
11:57 am
BGL
MM- have them draw pictures to the verses of hymn "Here I Am" and e-mail them to me...
11:57 am
musicmom
I'm all for down time/unscheduled time for children. BUT today makes me understand the parents who keep them totally engaged in organized activity for the summer
11:57 am
Layne
But I live in a place where French is all around.
11:57 am
nrkii
layne, i kept trying the same
11:57 am
boreetos
gross...there's a a reason that creamers aren't all that sweet on their own.
11:57 am
musicmom
I don't know that one BGL - I'll look up the lyrics on the web
11:57 am
BGL
They could take the snakes for a walk
11:57 am
Layne
I dranque some tea at the rinque before it sanque.
11:58 am
musicmom
LOL BGL
11:58 am
BGL
It's the one that starts, I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry...

that's a beautiful hymn, one of my 3 favorites I would say
11:58 am

Unfortunately I have suggested many things --- fun thing down to clean up under the bed things and they still aren't doing anything

I said that in a nice kind of sarcastic tone of voice by the way.
12:02 pm
boreetos
you know in my day, we didn't have a pool, we had to swim in the gutter like everyone else! And we didn't even have summer, we had winter 2! Snow all the time, and everything was uphill! Even downtown, which was in the valley, was uphill! We wore onions on our belts, cause that was the style at the time! Belt onions and swimming in the gutter!
12:02 pm
jrh402s
music: you should make a pool... wear swimsuits in the tub (shower is even better with a little water in the bottom)...or big pots of water in the lawn
12:03 pm
musicmom
I did kick them out Minski - they keep coming back:-)

12:04 pm
boreetos
ok, i got to get back to work, I'll see you kids later. :)
12:04 pm
musicmom
jrh - we have a pool. Filled it yesterday only to discover a hole in the bottom. Am letting all the water out today to fix the hole
12:04 pm
Anniebrook
In my day you could have thrown up for 2 cents
12:04 pm
musicmom
MAN Bor you are a lot older than I thought:-)
12:04 pm
Layne
Bye, boreetos.
12:05 pm
musicmom
I have no sympathy for my kids because I have spent the past two days playing with them, taking them places, doing stuff. Today they can do their chores and entertain themselves
12:05 pm
jrh402s
you have a pool? wow, I bet they're excited. they should play in the mud puddle you're making.

12:05 pm
Anniebrook
musicmom, no school today?
12:05 pm
musicmom
Now there is an idea jrh - I bet Hannah would love to play in the mud. I can always hose her down later
12:06 pm
Minski
They are out of school already? Lucky kids!
12:06 pm
Marisun
thanks nrkii
12:06 pm

School got out last Friday Annie. This week we have no scheduled activity. Next week is GS day camp and we will all three be gone all day every day
12:06 pm
jrh402s
that sounds like fun to me.
12:07 pm
musicmom
I used to love to play in the mud
12:07 pm
musicmom
We also used to play with the garden hose. We had interesting Miss America pageants on the picnic table
12:07 pm
Merk
Could I have a clue for the SA 5. I think I am not seeing something here.
12:07 pm
Anniebrook
Yes, lucky kids, school ended early. Next week will come soon enough. Mud is fun.
12:07 pm
jrh402s
oh yes, I "used" to like to play in mud. not any more, ask anyone...
12:08 pm
cat2
musicmom... maybe a long shot, but do you know of a site that has sheet music (free) for recorder, specifically looking for 4th grade level for Ode to Joy?
12:08 pm
Atalante
garden hoses and garden sprinklers ...
12:08 pm
musicmom
hmmmm Merk - maybe I should focus back on the grid. I don't have that
12:08 pm
Minski
Between snow days and flood/rain days most of our kids don't get out until the end of June. Some towns have to go into July.
12:08 pm
nrkii
sa 5 10 is a kind of plastic wrap
12:08 pm
musicmom
Cat- I don't. How soon do you need it? I probably have one here I could send you
12:09 pm
jrh402s
Did you google that Cat? I'm sure "recorder ode to joy" would produce what you want.
12:09 pm
scribble
hey cat i know a site...hang on a sec
12:09 pm
cat2
no hurry...my youngest just learned it right before school got out and is frustrated becuz he can't recall all of it now and wants to play it for me...
12:09 pm
Anniebrook
nrkii, thank you. you always hit the clues right on
12:09 pm
cat2
i've googled it and not found what I want
12:09 pm

hi, BGL
12:10 pm
nrkii
cat2, did you check with the school? they might be able to get it to you
12:10 pm
musicmom
cat --- does he just want the notes in order? Or does he have to read it for you? I can send you the note names
12:11 pm
nrkii
merk, apparently sa 5 is also a generic name -- who knew?
12:11 pm
Merk
Good idea, nrkii, schools have files and files of music on hand
12:12 pm
cat2
i'm not sure, he's at summer school right now. maybe.
12:13 pm
tndaisy1960
that "brand name" word has another meaning, which qualifies it to be in the Enable list.
12:13 pm
musicmom
Okay for the next 30 minutes I am going to focus completely on the grid.
12:13 pm
musicmom
Cat--- find out if he wants the letters in order and what note he is starting on. My email address is in my bio
12:13 pm

nrkii... they're in summer school session right now, will have to check if music teacher is there.

they might call it something different in the UK -- we call it Swiss Ch****, like what doctors keep on patients, but with a different hard const. at the end
1:42 pm
FMitch
if you have the ch4/9 - imagine you have a lisp and pronounce the word again that will give you the 5/16
1:42 pm
