12:32 am

Uneaixoise

12:33 am

Jacula

Need to write grid an tile stats down. Or shall I just wing it?

12:40 am

itsonme

:P

12:41 am

Jacula

Not looked at the total words until you mentioned them, Ram. 308. Biggish, I guess. With that size of grid you usually get half quickly, which then leaves you with an easily tacklet grid for the rest of the day.

12:41 am

ramix

i guess so...might as well. its not as if i have anything else to do at 10:43pm anyways

12:41 am

Jacula

Ramix - if you have time between finding words, can you spare a moment to tell us about yourself? Are you a native Ghanaian? If a go suddenly, forgive me. A thunderstorm is trying to start here in UK and I may have to turn my computer off if it gets too close.

12:44 am

ls1

helenkeller

12:52 am

mrpresident

oops :))

12:53 am

Jacula

ramix - I had a feeling you would say that. I can onlhyy think, given the stories I've been told over my 49 years, that parents think they are doing the right thing. Hey! There's still that Philip Larkin poem to fall back on, if all else fails... they fu** you up, your Mum and Dad. They don't mean to, but they do etc.

12:53 am

ramix

:) exactly jacula.

12:53 am

jaianniah

First I typed a WORD, and then I typed my apology in the add word box, and it said, "Oh, crap, pass the damn fish again" is not in the dictionary"!!!!!!!

12:54 am

helenkeller

nope - i'm going to bed - tired -good nite everyone (mrp - tx anyway)

12:54 am

JaiKnut

OMG... My mom just told me that "oh crap pass the damn fish" was not found in the dictionary

12:54 am

Jacula

Or else you could fall back on those other parent-blaming type thingeys that led me to drinking and internetting... BLAME THE MOTHER!

12:54 am

Ping

ididn't get the zeus ones

12:54 am

ls1

nite helen

12:54 am

12:55 am

jillibus

hello all - I'll never finish this one because I have to go out early tomorrow evening so for me there are only about 6 hours left, and I have other stuff to do-- but -- i'll enjoy a peek anyway.

12:55 am

ls1

308 edmp

12:55 am

Jacula

Yup! I say that as a norm now, even if the milk's run out. 'Blame the mother!'

12:56 am

Jacula

My kids seem appalled by that. LOL.

12:56 am

edmo

12:56 am

Jacula

Poor innocents!

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

12:56 am

ramix

well isnt that what moms are for? to be blamed for everything that goes wrong?

12:56 am

Blaze

it goes for grandmothers too... we are just bigger mothers....

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

one more, just one more & i'm halfway, can claim my hold on mediocrtiy & get the heck to bed!

12:58 am

Jacula

Blaze - well the grandmothers 'condoned' the archaic ways of the mother's fathers. LOL.

12:58 am

jillibus

ramix - the chat goes so fast, but didn't you say you were in Portland or something? And why are you now wherever you are?

12:59 am

Uneaixoise

ok, 195 and turning off the light--night, all!

12:59 am

Blaze

I am not sure of condoned but definitely put up with lots of sh** just to have more..bestowed upon them... LOL

12:59 am

ramix

yes in portland...i did my masters here and liked the pacific northwest so much i stayed

1:00 am

jillibus

your masters in what, ramix?

1:00 am

ramix

well 2 masters, msc in information systems and an mba

1:00 am

Jacula

My great-grandfasther had my great-grandmother (who actually went to work in the early 1900's and earned more than HE did!) iron his neswpaper because it had been creased by the paperboy inserting it into the letterbox. Not to waste time, she ironed out the curls in her long auburn hair between its pages. *|Fist punching air now saying Go LILY!'

1:01 am

melonheadjujube

1:02 am

jillibus

Whew, ramix! Brainy!

1:02 am

JaiKnut

1:02 am

Uneaixoise

melon, I studied there and went back later to live for awhile--met my ex in Aix--HAH--definitely time to get some sleep! :-)

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

lol, aixie! zzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

1:03 am

ramix

not really jilibus, just had a lot of time on my hands and i figured i might as well do something with it

1:03 am

chic

the ta 8 is a type of case for holding wine....

1:03 am

Jacula

Blaze - have we? I see my daughter paying £160 for ceramic hair straighteners now. It wouldn't matter to the guy who really loves her ( who we, all of her family can see) if she was fuzzy, curly., straight or bald. But... hey, that's life!

1:05 am

itsonme

wow...jacula do you have a euro sign on your keyboard>

1:05 am

mrpresident

You have a pound key?? were is my pound key?

1:05 am

Blaze

1:05 am

itsonme

lol. Mrp...

1:05 am

ls1

melon - do you have a connection to aix? i'm going there this fall

1:07 am

Jacula

1:07 am

72 Temple Owl

hi jacs!

1:08 am

KittyVane

Morning everyone!

And I can conjure up a € and a $ and £ and I bet I could find a yen sign in here too! ;)

1:08 am

KittyVane

1:09 am

moonriver919

¿

1:09 am

Blaze

the key is to NOT do for them what they can do for themselves....

1:11 am

Jacula

Blaze - true! Unfortunately, since she got locked up in a nuthouse and made to face herself and her demons, my daughter now thinks she 'has' to save all of the rest of us 'imperfect' human beings... which leeads her to choosing unsuitable partners.

1:12 am

chic

Hey Temple how be ye?

1:12 am

itsonme

wow...havent seen a finland yet

1:12 am

Jacula

1:13 am

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

jacs, i've decided on a new philosophu: life is too short to go listless...hello kierlex!

1:21 am

itsonme

things made from trees

1:21 am

shirin

did you get what they call the smart kids at school, itsonme?

1:22 am

JaiKnut

Things made from trees

1:22 am

kierlex

cool, thanks...

1:22 am

Jacula

Sometimes, and this is NOT a kick at Lickety, I do think the younger Babblers would just prefer it it they were given a full word list. I really cannot see what challange there is in that. Also, if no challenge exists, what is thew point of playing?

1:22 am

itsonme

I didnt see that clue, but thanks I got it

1:22 am

bobboy

How do you play

1:23 am

Jacula

*challenge

1:23 am

ls1

omg - your icon has me really creeped out itsonme - i had to look

1:23 am

ramix

jacula i kinda feel the same way. after all it's not a traditional word search game but more scrabble based

1:24 am

bobboy

so i typed planet and it didn't count...why?

1:24 am

Jacula

Exactly, ramix.

1:24 am

JaiKnut

bob, it just doesn't work in the puzzle...

1:24 am

bobboy

Why?

1:25 am

72 Temple Owl

its: what is your icon?

1:25 am

JaiKnut

the letters have to touch each other

1:25 am

JaiKnut

I have to agree, Jacula I like to get as many words as possible before I jump over to Lickety's list. If I'm working with my mom, usually we get to that sticking point quicker than if I were working alone, but once there, I look for the list. I figure 234 words is a good point at which to start looking for Lickety's pretty little announcement :-) (btw, Knut is saying this, not Jai)

1:25 am

bobboy

got it.Tthanxs

1:26 am

Tiny

Hi all

1:27 am

JaiKnut

We're like Siamese twins...two-headed Babblers 1000 miles apart (Jai)

1:27 am

Angelsong

200 words ddown!

1:27 am

Tiny

strand

1:27 am

shirin

wow, angelsong

1:27 am

JaiKnut

you know it is late when it confuses me! (says knut)

1:27 am

itsonme

holy moly angelsong@

1:27 am

itsonme

!

1:28 am

JaiKnut

We have 233...(Jai)

1:28 am

JaiKnut

actually 235, mum

1:29 am

itsonme

I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK! Its very very hard on the eyes...ouch...dont look! `ouch`

1:29 am

JaiKnut

k, kiddo, keep up the good work.....:o)))))

1:29 am

ls1

where did you get it itsonme

1:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't want to but now i am intrigued...can u tell me what it is?

1:29 am

kierlex

wow 308 words, at least these big ones make you feel productive!

1:29 am

itsonme

google

1:30 am

Jacula

For myself - and I do do it by msself most of the time, because my family all know that intruding ony my Babble is like filling in my partially completed crossword, I have to say I do it alone. Mind you, my other half being dyslexic clinches words for me at times, if he's there. Why? Because he finds words I'd never have dreamed of spelling 'like that'!

1:30 am

itsonme

its a splinter....ouch

1:30 am

kierlex

ouch, itsonme. I've seen that before, wasn't it a motorcycle wreck or something

1:30 am

itsonme

a bad splinter

1:31 am

ls1

a very badly located splinter

1:31 am

shirin

is that person alive?

1:31 am

itsonme

idk...

1:31 am

KittyVane

Why couldn't we have a little grid today! I have so much to do and now I'm stuck plowing through this...

1:31 am

itsonme

lol, i doubt it

1:31 am

itsonme

Gee my icon is going to be the talk of the town :P

1:31 am

FMitch

I suggest that you change it itsonme as it is in rather bad takste and Dr_G might block you access to babble as some will find it offensive.

1:32 am

JaiKnut

I like working on it alone as much as I like working on it iwth my mom. The cool thing about working with my mom is that it doesn't feel like we're 1000 miles apart... and she has a different vocab than me. (I won't say bigger)

1:32 am

itsonme

okay...brb

1:32 am

shirin

it is quite disturbing, lol

1:32 am

JaiKnut

Jacula, that's what Meg and I found out! Our minds work differently, and we seem to find different words from each other...we also do our own thing as well...(Jai)

1:33 am

Nef

least

1:34 am

JaiKnut

Yeah, Knut likes ar4/4 all the time and I NEVER see it! LOL

1:34 am

Nef

sorry

1:34 am

itsonme

there we go

1:34 am

shirin

it still there!

1:34 am

ls1

much more soothing itsonme

1:34 am

Nef

I was going to post something after its changed her iconand posted a word there instead

1:35 am

itsonme

:P Its okay Nef

1:35 am

Nef

Thanks for changing that icon, itsonme. It reminds me too much of work and this is supposed to be a relaxation thing for me. :)

1:36 am

shirin

what do you do, nef?

1:36 am

itsonme

lol

1:36 am

shirin

yeah, one box grayed out

1:36 am

Nef

I'm a nurse (of course)

1:36 am

shirin

ahh, interesting

1:37 am

shirin

in the e.r.?

1:37 am

JaiKnut

Actually, I chatted with Dr. God about working on the puzzle tohgether, and he/she said that it's whatever floats your boat...some take it very seriously, some have great fun, and some are in between...and we're all family.... (((Babblers)))) (Jai)

1:37 am

Nef

No. ICU

1:38 am

shirin

that must be hard to see

1:38 am

itsonme

how do you talk to Dr_God?

1:38 am

JaiKnut

email the link

1:38 am

kierlex

i think ar 4/4 has been in the last 4 puzzles

1:39 am

JaiKnut

and some variation of bosums, too! LOL (Jai)

1:39 am

72 Temple Owl

a word of caution: plural EVERYTHING in this grid...

1:39 am

JaiKnut

Amen, Owl!

1:39 am

JaiKnut

bosums? you mean gazongamelons! so much more fun to say gazongamelons!

1:40 am

Jacula

Jacula

So gladthat I don't do lists! LOL.

1:44 am

JaiKnut

Hey, Meg, where is our 10?

1:44 am

bobboy

did you all get splashes?

1:44 am

Jacula

You can be farmore relaxed abpout seeking words if you don't do the l;ist thing until absolutely stuck.

1:45 am

bobboy

drool

1:45 am

ls1

or something that happens as a consequence

1:45 am

JaiKnut

JaiKnut

1:45 am

ls1

1:46 am

bobboy

1:46 am

Jacula
