displaying my ignorance...:-|
1:26 am
72 Temple Owl

1:27 am

The disease is: isorder of the inner ear associated with a change in the volume of fluid inside a portion of the inner ear called the labyrinth, which includes the membranous labyrinth and the bony labryinth.
It is spelled without the U in english, and WITH that U in dutch. Hence the confusion on my side.

Margaret Court, Rod Laver etc also come to mind.

3:49 am
Jemma444

sorry!!
3:49 am
Jemma444

that word isn't in the puzzle anyway!!
3:50 am
Haz1558

Jemma - the first four letters are. Now make it the person who does the action, and pluralise it.
3:50 am
Cat9x

add 2 letters to that word, minus the S you had on there and you will have si6/30, plural that and you will have si7/44
3:51 am
Cat9x

change the first letter of that word, a few times to get more words and their plurals
3:51 am
Jemma444

I already have that Haz, but thanks anyway!!(:
3:52 am
Haz1558

See, you're getting so good at this!
3:53 am
Jemma444

Yep!!a lot of practice is needed though!!some of my friends are bored of babble, but NOT ME!!I love it (:
3:53 am
Cat9x

Good job Jemma, keep at it! :)

I WILL!!!

4:01 am
Cat9x

No problem Haz :)
4:01 am
Haz1558

So the claritin didn't work for you - at least not at the right time. Is it for allergies or am I thinking of something else?
4:02 am
72 Temple Owl

it is...however, it was prescribed as a result of a bee sting...
4:02 am
Atalante

I don't like this grid .........
4:02 am

Oh, nasty - insect stings can be very painful.

4:04 am
Jemma444

4:04 am
FMitch

4:04 am
Atalante

true true Haz ... am having a whiny day though :)
4:05 am
Kukana

4:05 am
Cat9x

ar plus one of the 7 deadly ***s, plus 2nd vowel
4:05 am
72 Temple Owl

jemma: ar + si4/4
4:06 am
Atalante

I know! Just the way Sprite scampered through it earlier was depressing enough!
4:06 am
Jemma444

Ok everyone, my brother and my dad are back with dinner. I better go now!!Have a gr8 day everyone, or night!!Bye Haz, Cat9x and everyone else. Happy Babbling!!(:Bye
4:07 am

4:08 am
Haz1558

fa6/27 resigned from her job - that's the polite way of putting it!
4:08 am
72 Temple Owl

oh......
4:09 am
Atalante

or the impoilte way - she told her boss to go f*** himself and stormed out
4:10 am
amandacath

Ata's (and F's!) way is much more fun!
4:10 am
72 Temple Owl

how did i miss this? seems like i have been babbling away my life lately

Karys

4:14 am
72 Temple Owl

4:15 am
Haz1558

Apparently her boss was a real creep, using abusive language to everyone. She refused to take the abuse and left - after giving him a piece of her mind.
4:16 am
72 Temple Owl

good for her! except now she must go looking again
4:17 am
Haz1558

She was sure that she could get another job - I hope that is the case.
4:18 am
72 Temple Owl

4:29 am
Karys

4:29 am
Haz1558

I can imagine a man called Otis, but it's not a baby name. Does that sound stupid?
4:29 am
mrpresident

Absolutely!!We import only the best!!
4:29 am
amandacath

oh dear...Otis, huh? Well....
4:30 am
Atalante

could be worse I guess!
4:30 am
FMitch

A name that will take some growing into.
4:30 am
Karys

4:31 am
72 Temple Owl

4:31 am
mrpresident

4:31 am
Karys

4:32 am
mrpresident

Karys, smile and call him darling and sweeting and cherub... that works for about 2 years whilst you get your therapist to work you through it!
4:32 am
Karys

4:34 am

Technically MrP that is not actally quite right as it is a dusting of flour on something like a dover sole and then cooked in butter. (Today's cookery lesson is now over)!

mrp, I have a technical question for you. I use a desk top and laptop computer for different things. When I fill the spaces for lickety's clues, and then open the laptop, I lose all the entries i.e. they stay on the desk top but have to start again with laptop. The same thing does not happen with opening and closing the actual babble puzzle. Is that sort of clear??
4:40 am
Haz1558

There's a local chemist called Vivian Primrose. What were his parents thinking? A surname like Primrose needed a manly name to offset it.

If you want to get really technical you can copy the cookies from one to the other

Best we do this off list. Unless everyone else wants to hear techno stuff
4:44 am

i tried that but they copied back to blank..i even emailed myself
4:45 am
licketySplitAUS

mmm - I haven't tried it myself - might be a security thing that stops it from happening.
4:45 am
helenary

ok but how? Hope you don't mind.
4:46 am
licketySplitAUS

Is the laptop on a network?
4:47 am
helenary

never mind i'll go thru it again but i only have 73 words left to go. Have a Mac. Yes i am bigpond and use piilot.
4:47 am
licketySplitAUS

You could remote control one PC with the other maybe - that way you can see both?
4:47 am
FMitch

carry on lickety I don't have a prob. Also someone was asking how to clear the cookies this morning so it is useful info to post in the log or as a supplementary somewhere on your list perhaps?
4:48 am
licketySplitAUS

Fmitch- sometimes Firefox hangs onto a page - you can force a Refresh of the page sometimes to help.
4:48 am
helenary

sorry, but what does clearing cookies mean?
4:48 am
licketySplitAUS

I clear the cookies if it's a new game..but something the page doesn't know
4:48 am
licketySplitAUS

and a Cntrl F5 or Shift F5 sometimes helps
4:49 am

I don't know I was just quoting what someone posted this morning

4:49 am

Helenary - I think you want to see your clues on your other PC. only way to do that is print, or remote control the other one.

ok, feel i am imposing..will keep working on it. have to get this job done before doing important things. Thanks lickety v much
4:50 am
Cat9x

Never saw that Ata, even the variant spelling one.
4:52 am
licketySplitAUS

Did I help? I didn't think so - Thanks for the Thanks anyway ;-) What I can suggest is this - Use Babble to enter words, use the clues when you get stuck.
4:54 am
helenary

i do, ido..i babble till i cannot go anyfurther..look at lickety, and tick what i have and minimize page and work along side the puzzle with AtoZ close at hand. I tried to send the lickety page to my laptop but lost all the entries. I will print the list next time I want to move computers. Good idea??
5:03 am
licketySplitAUS

Yeah - but another idea is to work out how you can see the screen of the desktop on the laptop. I can do it windows to windows, but not about mac
5:05 am
helenary

ok i will persevere, but printing is the easiest option..thanks it was great being able to discuss this with you..

I'm a little confused on the point count....I have a 7-letter word with points adding to 10, but the score is 40.
8:12 am
Haz1558

That's because the points for a 5 letter word are doubled, trebled for a 6 and so on.
8:13 am
Haz1558

It means that it is to your advantage to find longer words - more points.

this is quite gobsmacking - There's a housing complex in Hong Kong whose 100 windowless rooms are each ten feet square. TEN FEET. Photographer Michael Wolf painstakingly took a photograph in each one, showing its occupant and furniture. The result is a set of 100 thought-provoking photos. One look, and you'll never again complain about the size of your home: http://photomichaelwolf.com/100x100/ - have a look ....
10:39 am

Morning, interesting chat. I remembr the first time we flew into Hong Kong (on our way to Western Australia) before the new airport was built and the plane flew past apartmant blocks on its descent--quite frighteningly close-- and we could see occupants thro' every window,several shapes in each tiny square----
10:46 am

Good morning hetty.

Good morning Haz. I'm late today, having just seen off overnight guests. Didn't babble yesterday and m glad to be back

Regarding overcrowding, I overheard two old gentlemen reminiscing about their younger days. One was from a family of 15, the other from a family of 18 - all in a two bedroom house. But they were both saying 'Ah those were good days!'

10:58 am
Atalante

its rather eye-opening!
11:00 am
FMitch

The overall thing though is that none of those spaces have windows. Of everything not to have a window I think would be the worst.
11:01 am
Atalante

yeah ... no fresh air, no light. horrid
11:02 am
Atalante

and our prisoners in maximum security prisons probably have more space and light than they do!
11:02 am
Haz1558

My husband would shoot himself, I think. He is such a fresh air fiend he nearly panics if there is no window to be opened. Anyway, I must depart in order to get some food for my family. Happy hunting everyone!

hey girls, can I do a little poll among you?... I'm curious as to how you work your way through the grid. Do you go from one tile to the next, or stay in one corner for a while? Top half, then bottom half? What works best for each of you?
11:33 am

randomness!

11:34 am

i usually start with the first letter on the top row and try to work my way down. as i am doing this, i start finding words all over the place and, yes, it become random as atalante said.

Everyone has a totally different way of working the grid.
11:36 am
bostonmermaid

ok, I'm with you, Annie... I try to work tile to tile, but I end up all over the place... and I guess it depends on how many words there are, and how much time you have to Babble...
11:36 am
Atalante

I just put words in as my eye catches them. very unorganised!
11:37 am

I'm random to start with, then I work my way through each tile in turn, then it's Lickerty of blessed name and finally, the dreaded lists!
11:38 am
Anniebrook

if it is a small grid, wordwise, i will get the list and, of course, get words from clues in chat. Otherwise, like today, i go listless, watch for clues and i never finish without the list. but you guys are great!

wouldn't it be because the plural would be me8 sauce*s* with the plural on the sauce?
11:49 am
Golux13

probably
11:49 am

it's an adjective
11:49 am

pemily - fr 5/6 means a word starts with fr and has 5 letters and is worth 16 points. 5 letter words are each letter's tile number added together times 2. 6 letter words are times 3, ect.
3:11 pm
parsec

The stats are how many words start with a letter, or how many words are that long, and the first number is how many of them you've already guessed.

miranda-- a switcheroo. Our bichon (named Frosty, and with us for ten happy years) belonged to our son until Simon had to give him up because of moving and so asked us to have him even tho we alt=rday had a darling dachsie. (We have never been without a dog). Simon could then visit with him at will and we hd the fun of taking both for walks--Fosty used to leap over Clancy (the dachsie) who tried valiantly--and failed --to reciprocate
3:22 pm
libarebel

dachies can't leap.. :-D

TO: S'MORE CUPCAKES

10 tablespoons butter

1¾ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

6 eggs

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line muffin tin with cupcake wrappers. Melt butter and chocolate in saucepan over low heat until smooth.

Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale yellow (about 3 minutes). Pour chocolate mixture into egg mixture and stir until combined.

Pour chocolate batter into prepared muffin tins until quite full (almost to the top of each tin). Bake for 14 minutes. Let cool.

Marshmallow Frosting

1½ cups sugar

2 egg whites

1/3 cup water

2 teaspoons light corn syrup

¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish 12 graham cracker sticks

24 chocolate pocky sticks

Put sugar, egg whites, water, corn syrup and cream of tartar in a large metal bowl and beat with electric mixer until ingredients are just incorporated (about 15 seconds).

Place bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water), and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes. Increase speed to high and beat for an additional 3 minutes until mixture if very thick.

Remove bowl from simmering water. Add vanilla extract and continue beating for another 5 minutes.

Fill pastry bag filled with a large tip with marshmallow frosting. Pipe a generous amount of marshmallow onto each cupcake. Insert one graham cracker stick and two chocolate-covered Asian pocky sticks through the frosting and into the cupcake. (It works better to insert them before they're browned.)

Using a culinary torch, carefully brown the marshmallow quickly and evenly, being careful not to let it catch fire (the sugar burns easily!). This step can also be done under a broiler, but don't put the graham cracker sticks and pocky sticks in the cupcakes until they come out of the broiler.

Makes 12 cupcakes.

8:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

my general question is about flourless cakes

Looking at the recipe, TO, I'd say the base is going to be dense, chewy and chocolatey.
8:27 pm

TO, it's more like a cracker, it's a japanese product
8:28 pm

Basically, having read and taken in the whole recipe now, I'd say it's a heavy base with a light but sweet topping.
8:28 pm

9:04 pm
Jacula

Aknitter - if you think that's an all time low you should have been here when diarrhoea and shit were in the grid. We Brits and Aussies tend towards 'toilet humour' at the best of times... all being here then... well, you don't want to know!
9:04 pm
aknitter

that's what they all say
9:04 pm
FranMag

freckle, un6/24 is to not make someone's acquaintance.
