Bye, all, I am going back to bed...it is 5 in the morning here...
5:17 am
pam
Sure is better than bonfire press, Button...
5:19 am
Buttonman
I got that pam. It was tragic but it made the school stronger.
5:19 am
Angelsong
morning Babblers! Buttonman, I am a Texan also.
5:19 am
Buttonman
Dianne, I have met several students including in the Grad program who are from Hong Kong!
5:20 am
pam
I am glad good came out of it!
5:20 am
Eva
I'm confused. It
5:20 am
Eva
Okay-my state of confusion is obvious, but what I meant to say was how can in be 5ish inTexas if it's 6ish in Vermont? I'm missing something
5:21 am
pam
must get ready to get ready for work..
5:22 am
Eva
also-this is the second utterly frustrating grid in 2 days!
5:22 am
pam
see you all tonight! Hoe the news is better around the globe today...peace
5:24 am
jaianniah
Eva, our country is so big that the sun literally comes up an hour latyer in Texas from the East Coast- thus the time difference- it is only 3 am in L,A. right now....
5:24 am
jaianniah
sorry about all the typos....
5:25 am
Buttonman
Eva, as to the it, there used to be an annual bonfire on campus before the Texas University/A&M University football game. The bonfire was made with huge logs and they were stacked extremely high..one year while the students were preparing it, the structure fell, killing a number of students, 12 I think. And, I really am going, Bye
5:26 am
Merk
Has there been a clue recently on the th 8 abd 9 plez?
5:27 am
Buttonman
Jaianniah, I lived in San Diego for 25 years!
5:28 am
jaianniah
The thing on the car that makes it go faster is the nine- one of the 8's is the root word of the nine....
5:29 am
Eva
sorry-still half asleep and getting east and west mixed up, duh! I kept thinking-"But Vermont is as far East as it gets...: I do normally know that it is earlier in the west than here. And thanks for the explanation Button. I do now remember the tragedy.
5:29 am
jaianniah
It is also a slang term meaning "to strangle" jokingly
5:31 am
Merk
Thanks as always, Jaianniah. You give great clues.
5:31 am
jaianniah
Buttonman, sorry, but I live near you.....
5:32 am
Eva
yes, thanks jaianniah!
5:32 am
jaianniah
YW< Merk! and TY!
5:32 am
Buttonman
JJaianniah, what area of Texas!
5:33 am
jaianniah
no, I live on the Gulf Coast in Mississippi- near being relative in this case......
5:34 am
Buttonman
My daddy was from Bogue Chitto.
5:34 am
Dianne
my sister lives in the middle of the state of Mississippi.
5:35 am
jaianniah
Never heard of it....where is it?
5:35 am
Buttonman
Lincoln County near Brookhaven!
5:35 am
Eva
Bogue Chitto. What a wonderful name! How do you pronounce it?
5:37 am
Buttonman
Bobba chitta, it is an Native American name
5:37 am
jaianniah
We have a lot of French names in Mississippi....But they get Cajunized and otherwise twisted around- a town near me named Gautier is pronounced "Go-shay"
5:37 am
Buttonman
Correction, Bogue Chitto is pronounced like
5:38 am
Buttonman
Bogga Chitta
5:38 am
jaianniah
Also Native American, ty Buttonman!
5:38 am
Eva
Vermont is very funny that way. The larger town my village is part of is Calais. Which anywhere else in the world would be pronounced Calay. But here it is Calass.
5:39 am
jaianniah
That's exactly what happens here!
5:39 am
Buttonman
REALLY NOW, GOODNIGHT!
5:40 am
jaianniah
LOL Goodnight, Buttonman!
5:40 am
Eva
even odder because we are only 2 hours froom MOntreal and there are plenty of French-canadiens here, so one would think we would use the French pronounciation.
5:40 am
Eva
night button!
5:41 am
jaianniah
Somehere- half our town is French, but they mutilate the French words beyond recognition....a personal remark not meant to disparage anyone!
5:42 am
jaianniah
That's Same here
5:43 am
Eva
The first time I drove to Vermont and was trying to get to Barre I, of course, pronounced it "bar" and gave all the locals their fill of "flatlander" humor for the day. Flatlanders being those from Massachusetts or, I suppose, anywhere else but Vermont.
5:43 am
jaianniah
They laughed at me when I came down here and said Gautier "GO- tee- ay"
5:45 am
jaianniah
But the truth is that there is Cajun and Indian influence on the names.....
5:45 am
Eva
Have to decide whether to go swimming this morning or not. It is very hot out, but the water is still chily from all the rain we've had. I can remember, but barely, when I was a kid and never minded the cold water. Now I've become chicken!
5:46 am
jaianniah
OMG, swim! Swim when you can! There are so many months when you cannot!
5:47 am
cliffopa
*jumping in to pronunciation conversation* even the natives of my area can't pronounce their own town's names correctly. there is a town called 'gilmanton' but many say gil-ming-ton. it is also common to add an 'r' where there isn't one. morning!
5:48 am
jaianniah
That's a handsome Airman? you have there, Cliffopa!
5:49 am
cliffopa
that is newly minted 2nd lieutenant Clifford. thank you, jaianniah.
5:49 am
Eva
Good morning Cliff. That''s a very handsome young man you have there!
5:50 am
Eva
Simulaneous admiration cliff! lol
5:50 am
Eva
and have I mentioned how much I hate deerflies?
5:51 am
cliffopa
it was a surprise to see him in person for the first time with the uniform on. his whole demeanor was different. more confident.
5:51 am
cliffopa
deerflies = evil
5:52 am
Eva
Merp ate one the other day and I wanted to give him a medal
5:52 am
Eva
It must be so odd to see the person you diapered in a uniform.
5:52 am
cliffopa
my chow chow eats any/all kinds of insects. even bees.
5:53 am
jaianniah
Cliffopa, Clifford is gorgeous! I also have a newly-minted Airman 1st class nephew- graduated from Lackland a week ago....
5:53 am
cliffopa
i'm still having difficulty seeing my son as a 26 year old. how could that be when i still see myself as a 30 yr old. denial? yep.
5:53 am
Eva
doesn't s/he get stung? Merp gives bees wawide berth and also, much to my dismay, will not eat spiders. yes, I know, I know that spiders are benevolent, but I'm phobic.
5:54 am
jaianniah
Me, too- I am hitting the big one this fall, but feel 18.....
5:55 am
cliffopa
tuckerman (chow chow) often gets sick after eating bees - and ants. but he keeps doing it. the vet said as long as he does'nt ingest too many at the same time he shouldn't have a reaction.
5:55 am
Eva
It still feels strange tome when I visit my "little" brother when he is at work in the hospital, and see this 6'3" doctor striding around . How did that happen? And I feel much older when I realize that he is 51, than when I realize that I am 56.
5:55 am
Eva
jaia....which one is the big one? (-:
5:55 am
jaianniah
5-0-!!!!!
5:56 am
cliffopa
eva, my son hates spiders and was told yesterday to watch out if it ever rains at his base (edwards, california desert) because the big ones congregate on porches and walkways.
5:56 am
Eva
Oh-that one-no longer seems that big to me. Funny how one's definition of "old" keeps getting pushed further over the line as one advances.
5:57 am
jaianniah
That;s very true- and Cliffopa, remind me NEVER to go to EAFB!!!!
5:58 am
cliffopa
i don't especially like insects, but since my husband is allergic to bees, etc i end up removing them from the home.
5:58 am
cliffopa
jaianniah, the good thing at EAFB is that it almost never rains.
5:59 am
jaianniah
I would miss the rain....As long as it wasn't from a hurricane, that is.....
5:59 am
Eva
when I volunteered at the zoo some years ago one of my jobs was misting the tarantula tank. Myboss reassured me that the spiders didn't like getting wet so would move to the back of the tank, but I was so nervous that I accidentally sprayed in back of the spiders who, of course, charged forwards. Next thing I knew I was in the other room and the water bottle was on the floor. Never made that mistake again. Also had to pick up rocks and branches to count the African hissing cockroachs every morning. I mean really, as if the non=hissing ones weren't bad enough!
6:00 am
jaianniah
OMG, Eva!
6:00 am
cliffopa
what an interesting assignment.
6:01 am
cliffopa
i've never seen a real live cockroach - nevermind a hissing one!
6:01 am
jaianniah
And I am NOT finishing this puzzle.....this conversation is TOO interesting!
6:01 am
Eva
Don't mind reptiles at all, like snakes a lot, and rodents are fine. But spiders? I grew up in New York City which is cockroach central. You haven't missed anything.
6:02 am
Eva
People keep the hissing ones as pets. I kid you not.
6:03 am
cliffopa
my older brother used to put (harmless) snakes down the back of my clothing when we were kids. frogs and toads too. i don't mind them - didn't have much of a choice about it tho!
6:03 am
Eva
jaian-you have some pretty big bugs down there, don't you-palmettos,etc.?
6:03 am
Eva
That's what brothers are for isn't it?
6:04 am
jaianniah
I hope I never SEE the big bugs- they hide pretty well.....
6:04 am
Eva
Okay-getting ready for swimming. See you later.
6:05 am
jaianniah
Bye- bye, don't get bit by a deerfly!
6:05 am
cliffopa
watch out for evil deerflies eva. have fun.
6:13 am
jaianniah
Don't miss the word that goes right down column five....
6:17 am
cliffopa
does your nephew know where he will be stationed jaianniah?
6:17 am
jaianniah
And I have F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S*!!!!
6:18 am
cliffopa
congrats on the fireworks!!!
6:18 am
jaianniah
Somewhere near Washington State at first, but he has to make it thru "indocrination" - a pretty rough time, physically.....
6:20 am
jaianniah
Does your son?
6:20 am
cliffopa
i hope he makes it thru okay. i really admire anyone entering any branch of the military.
6:21 am
jaianniah
I do too!
6:22 am
cliffopa
my son received an officers commission. he has a masters degree in mechanical engineering and will be working as a developmental engineer at the air force research laboratory.
6:23 am
jaianniah
K- OOL! Where? At Edward's?
6:24 am
jaianniah
Doubly kool!
6:26 am
cliffopa
since he will be working on space propulsion projects, we are now referring to him as the 'rocket scientist.' they will never believe this at my next high school reunion...i wasn't the best student in high school.
6:27 am
jaianniah
LOL! Genes are funny- I was supposed to be the most likely to succeed, but ended up a housewife with four kids and an A.S. degree!
6:28 am
cliffopa
anyone who raised/raises 4 children is a 'rocket scientist' to me.
6:29 am
jbp
jai, *I* think that's tremendously successful!!!
6:30 am
jaianniah
Ty- They all turned out pretty okay! All are in retail one one sort or another- my thrid oldest is a MLT, tho, but makes too much money at Cracker Barrel to quit....
6:31 am
jbp
and hey, none in prison, which is more than many can say
6:31 am
cliffopa
well, i guess i had better get ready for work. have a great day everyone!
6:31 am
jaianniah
TY< JDP! That means a lot to me!
6:32 am

jaianniah
I am! I am!
6:33 am
jbp
is what that was supposed to say
6:33 am

Believe it or not, I got it the first time! LOL

That seems like an oxy-moron doesn't it?
7:33 am
Tiny
hi Kitty mine is orphan
7:34 am
EvaNadine
my boss--rather UNEXPECTEDLY--dragged me into this huge, long, boring meeting yesterday that just so happens to be highly important...
usually we get at least a days notice so we are dressed appropriately!
i wouldve liked to have alooked more buiness-y, but at least i was wearing a dress!
7:34 am
Dorens
are you able to play at work, evanadine?
7:34 am
musicmom
That is not fun evanadine! I'm trying to grow my business for fall which means lots more time on the phone and meeting with people for marketing purposes.
7:35 am
Tiny
Well I hope you were eva you would have looked funny standing there in your undies
7:36 am
musicmom
Actually come to think of it, if all this marketing works I won't have much time in the winter either:-)
7:36 am
Tiny
Did I doo That UMMMM
7:36 am
Tiny
is that good or bad musicmom
7:37 am
KittyVane
Don't worry Tiny, I'm sure most of us already have that one, and those of us who don't sure need it! :D
7:37 am
musicmom
As much as I miss babbling everyday that would be a good thing. We are not reaching the majority of our target consumers here. I really want to be doing that. I'm only working about 15 hours a week right now. Would like to double it by next year at this time.
7:38 am
musicmom
actually tiny I had that one but it pointed me to a U word I didn't have.
7:39 am
Tiny
Good for you GO MUSICMOM GO can you share
7:39 am

CiociaJudy
Good Morning from PA. Hope this grid is a little less troublesome for my brain than yesterday's.
8:05 am
Munner
And each one just multiplies that joy. I have eight grandchildren now--ages 5 months to 9 years.
8:05 am
Munner
So far, not a friendly grid, at least not to me!
8:06 am
Euterpe
The grid hasn't been very friendly to me either, yet.
8:06 am
CiociaJudy
Oh, no! My brain is still exhausted from yesterday.
8:07 am
Anj
Is my icon still a kone kettle?? : s
8:07 am
KittyVane
The grid isn't all that nice today...
I got off to a gr5/14 start, but then got bogged down real fast

it's great to look at the chat and see everyone in orange :)
8:09 am
Anj
Cheers Kitty - i'm still seeing a kettle., lol. I don'r dare refresh or the log will stop and I will get 3 or 4 'unresponsive script' warnings... : s
8:09 am
featherbee
anj, do you use firefox?
8:09 am
72 Temple Owl
any pt words?
8:10 am
Anj
Faether, yes. Latest version as far as I know...
8:10 am
CiociaJudy
Anj, I use Firefox at home and get those script warnings. What's up wth that?
8:10 am
KittyVane
No PT-words Owl
8:10 am
Atalante
you need to do a twiddle to stop getting the script warnings
8:10 am
featherbee
hang on, copying and pasting from angelsong's page for you

k - bye noe!
8:10 am
musicmom
Sorry for dropping out of the conversation everyone! I'm going to have to go to work for a while. Be back later to finish.
8:10 am
Anj
lol Feather...sorry.
Ciocia, I've changed my time out to 60 secs as well...
8:10 am
Munner
Ah, just found my daughter-in-law
8:10 am
featherbee
Apparently in Firefox 1.5, the time that a script can run before it is considered to be "unresponsive" is only 5 seconds. Babble relies heavily on a lot of scripts and 5 seconds isn't a whole lotta time. So if the chat log or a long word list takes long than 5 seconds to load for you, Firefox will throw up that annoying "unresponsive script" error dialog.
8:10 am
Munner
s name in the grid.
8:10 am
featherbee
To tell Firefox not to bother you anymore if a script takes longer than 5 seconds, type "about:config" (without quotes) into your address field in Firefox (i.e. where you would normally type "www.playbabble.com"), and then in the "filter" field type “dom.max” (without the quotes).
8:11 am
featherbee
Then double-click on the "dom.max_script_run_time" record that comes up, and change the the value from 5 to 60. 60 seconds should be more than enough time for Babble (and other sites) to load without Firefox complaining with the error message anymore.
8:11 am
amandacath
oh dear, was the twilight lupine at it again? Hi all, btw - got to 55 and now I'm going to the list 'cause I'm in a hurry - wedding reception this evening!
8:11 am
featherbee
oh shoot, didn't see you say that! sorry
8:11 am
Atalante
or just type dom.max_script_run_time in the filter box so you don't have to scroll through
8:12 am
CiociaJudy
making notes on all of this. Will try it this evening. thx much.
8:12 am
CiociaJudy
hi, feather!
8:12 am
Anj
LOL...still get them, but I reckon it could be something to do with running iTunes in the background on an old muther hubbard board with only 512mb of Ram : )
8:13 am
featherbee
welcome judy. lol anj!
8:13 am
Atalante
errrr possibly Anj!
8:14 am
Atalante
make sure you restart firefox every now and then. that might help
8:14 am
M3
i have Itunes runnging and only 512 im ok .....waits for crash now lol x
8:14 am
CiociaJudy
thx atalante
8:14 am
Anj
Ata, I need to get a dell with something like 1.5gb ddram or above, but I also need to know that I can transfer my 2nd hard drive with all my music and files on it from my old pc too : /

Hi guys! Think I got lost in the tech-talk. Were we having troll problems again?

hi amanda!
8:15 am
CiociaJudy
hi amanda
8:15 am
Anj
M3, i've actiually got 640mb installed but the mother board has capped it at 512 : s
8:15 am
Anj
Eva, no...but i'm listening to Tina Dico just now : )
8:16 am
Atalante
don't see why you shouldn't be able to!!
8:16 am
EvaNadine
heh, Nelly McKay has one of the songs im planning on asking you to hunt down for me ;)
8:16 am
M3
OHHH, i listen to podcasts !!!
8:16 am

24 words left to find, and it's time for me to go sweat in the work room with the steam iron...
Later everyone!

8:17 am
CiociaJudy
doesn't sound like fun Kitty. cu later
8:17 am
M3
free music no download either cool huh
8:18 am
Anj
Ata, i'm worried that a new pc/chipset might insist on reformatting/repartioning any additional hard drives. I don't know enough about computers to be certain either way. I know I had to format, primary partition and name my new 80gb drive before my current set up would recognise it.
8:18 am
CiociaJudy
[feverishly making notes about all this computer stuff]
8:18 am
Badgirl
How many words today, guys?
8:18 am
KittyVane
Our work room is like a hot house in this weather, there's no way I can go there before the evening.
And I also recommend Pandora, it's much better than LastFM :)
8:18 am
Anj
M3, I use LastFM. It's more flexible than Pandora i've found...
8:18 am
M3
anj you could do it the long way put your mp3's on a flash drive or copy to dvd !!!

Morning all, missed yesterday. Had MRI on lower back, may have some herniated discs. lots of pain, injections considered.
8:20 am

8:20 am

Hi Harpjane, just getting started.
8:20 am
Anj
hmmm...do they do Flash drives capable of holding 45gb ??
8:21 am
rumplestiltskin
Hi featherbee
8:21 am
CiociaJudy
bummer rumple. those herniated discs are very painful. Hope you can get relief.
8:21 am
Atalante
you should be ok ... though what you'd probably want to do is find a local computer guy and tell him the situation before getting a new pc and get him to install the second hard drive for you. would cost a few £ but worth it
8:21 am
M3
LOL, backing up is always a good idea. have fun,. its easy to backup. if you have more than one puta it would be easy!! hey good luck with that lol x
8:21 am
Anj
Eva, e-mail me with a list : )
8:21 am
CiociaJudy
good morning harpjane. nice incorporation of two icon themes!
8:22 am

8:22 am
CiociaJudy
greetings mrp and jean
8:23 am
Atalante
in theory, I think you could just switch the drive allocations, Anj, so that the two partitions stay on the then secondary hard drive. you'd end up with drive d and e or whatever
8:24 am
Anj
Ata, I have a friend who builds pcs for a living so it would just cost the oprice of a few points and a pie : )
I've got space for one more additional hard drive, but the mother board and chipset are archaic : s Not worth doing that now...
8:24 am

good idea atlante, if you get really stuck just post a Q at http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7600_7-55

9:15 am

OMG! We didn't hear anything from my aunt and uncle. They are "up" a little so maybe they were spared.
9:16 am
stidmama
I am so sorry for all the people who have been hit by disaster this year. Seems it's been everyone's "turn" recently.
9:16 am
stidmama
oh Judy -- maybe you should call them?
9:16 am

i'd say give them a call judy

We've gotten off easy in RI - some sewer floods and beach closings, but no major damage. My heart goes out to you all.

doug (hubby) was doing what the guys called "water buffalo" duty...delivering water tanks to sites out there so people had water for their livestock and themsleves
9:17 am
stidmama
the problem with RI though is it's so small if something happens, it really does happen to everyone...
9:18 am
CiociaJudy
my aunt and uncle are right over the PA border. Your cross the bridge and go up a small hill and that's their street.
9:18 am
stidmama
feather -- glad you mentioned him. I know he's been home recently -- is he able to come home every night now?
9:18 am
featherbee
personally i'm ok, live on a hill away from any creeks or rivers, but many people i know have been affected
9:18 am
TheFiz
True - I learned the hard way that everyone is truly related by blowing off steam about someone in a restaurant - the server was their cousin....
9:18 am
featherbee
yep! they asked the guys who needed to be released from duty, and since doug's job is transferring to state this coming week, he needed to be there
9:18 am
CiociaJudy
glad to hear you're okay feather. But I know it's sad to see what other people have been through.
9:19 am

well good -- I am glad he's home. I bet Daniel thinks it's wonderful!

My parents are in Western PA - they are looking forward to beachfront property when the ice caps finally melt. You can all go stay with them - they've got a big house and are generous with it.
9:19 am

Judy -- go call *your* Ciocia! (then let us know what you learn)
9:19 am
featherbee
yep, he does!
9:20 am

9:26 am
featherbee
thanks fiz! it's very much appreciated. i know, i have several bags of clothes that i weeded out from my closets, just trying to figure out where to take them. i think i'm going to drop them off at a clothing center at a local church. even if they don't need them for flood victims, they'll go to good use.

9:27 am

I give all my old stuff to the local womens shelters - people who leave with the clothes on their backs and have to start over. But I'd be happy to send some stuff your way if it's needed.

9:46 am

hi, Ping!
9:47 am

oh well, Krista, what are to-do lists for, if not to ignore? LOL I also have so many things on my plate, but need to take it fairly easy today, so will babble as much as I can.
9:47 am
Krista
Hubby's 40th bday party tomorrow, so I can't ignore it too much. Are you ok, if I may ask?
9:48 am
Ping
mazel tov, krista!
9:49 am
stidmama
I am better than last night, that's for sure! a good night's sleep helped a lot. {and definitely do something nice for your husband -- mine spouse didn't even get me a card for my 40th last month!}
9:50 am
TheFiz
Oh, stid - Happy 40th Birthday!! Want me to sing again?
9:51 am

9:58 am

hi inge!
9:59 am
Krista
sorry for the delay; was changing my icon (sort of)..glad today is better for you, Stid. I've been there with the ""no card"" occasions, believe me! It doesn't happen anymore, though..I must have scared the poor man. Yes, I was being Miss Overly Sensitive last night. I came on two different times and no one would talk to me (sniff sniff, throwing pity party confetti). I was sunburnt and tired; I"m not usually such a baby.
9:59 am
Krista
sorry that was so long
9:59 am
stidmama
oh -- I meant to convey greetings from Mikey in Berlin -- had a nice email from him the other day and he said to say hello to everyone!
10:00 am
SamanthaJoy
Today's phantom word is: Gerund
10:00 am
stidmama
that's okay Krista -- I'll refresh in a minute to see your icon. Are you feeling better today? sunburns always make me grumpy... sleep usually helps, though.
10:00 am
stidmama
hi Samantha!
10:00 am
SamanthaJoy
Good morning
10:01 am
stidmama
LOL -- Krista, I see what you mean! I take it this is the famous Chesapeake Bay orange crab?
10:01 am
Krista
yes, thanks, sleep did help, but I'm still crispy..i can't use cheap sunscreen! Tee hee - crabby is sunburned, too.
10:02 am
Ping
stid, my 40th was a drag - mom in chemo, bald, distraught - but she recovered and we had a big blowout for #41
10:02 am
stidmama
oh -- poor Krabby Krista! do you have aloe? that will help the skin feel less crispy...
10:03 am
stidmama
oh Ping -- so glad your mother recovered. What a difficult year that must have been. Assume she is still in remission?
10:04 am
mymuseisme
sorry to read about your mom too ping and glad to hear she's doing better
10:04 am
Krista
I have it on my list to buy today! I wasn't going to get anymore sunburns, you see, so I ran out. Sorry to hear that, Ping. Still no Munner the past few days?
10:04 am
stidmama
haven't seen Munner -- starting to get a little worried.
10:05 am
mymuseisme
Krista Solarcaine makes aloe extra gel that will help your skin feel smoother and cooler
10:06 am
stidmama
Krista, a friend who is an expert on burns also suggests "aquaphor" for rehydrating... my experience is that either that or aloe works pretty well.
10:06 am
stidmama
okay, my monkeys are on strike. AR 5 please?
10:07 am
mymuseisme
add a vowel to the space word
10:07 am

morning all. I'm here and babbling but also babysitting one of my 20 month old KM students while her mom goes to the doc. Munner was on earlier this morning.
10:07 am

she is still in remission, stid, but it was her third time so we try to appreciate each day - in the meantime, though, she's obstinate as ever!
10:07 am
musicmom
I probably won't be very consistent about chat since I'm chasing Emily around - there she goes.
10:07 am
stidmama
thanks muse! again... hi musicmom. thanks. Is she feeling any better?
10:08 am
parsec
Aquaphor was my bestest friend this one time when I fell asleep on a float in the pool.
10:08 am
Krista
Yes, I am worried, too. Is there anyone here who is in contact with her? I didn't know they still made Solarcaine! I've heard of aquaphor..thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to figure out a way to go braless today - my back is the worst!
10:08 am
parsec
We still have an on-again, off-again relationship.
10:09 am
stidmama
oh parsec, how painful that must have been! I am a total wimp when it comes to burns. Fortunately, I haven't had a bad sunburn in more than 20 years... but I still remember how it felt.
10:09 am
Krista
i went snorkeling once and forgot to put sunscreen on my back - I can't express the pain...a "real" burn must be pure agony
10:09 am
parsec
Yeah, I don't take books out on the pool anymore. =)
10:10 am
stidmama
Krista -- for me, a soft T-shirt and a loose-fitting jacket conceals well enough when I can't wear a bra... I am pretty large in that region, but as long as I don't "bounce" no one seems to notice...
10:10 am
Doll414
I read somewhere that you should keep the aloe gel in the refrigerator - helps it work better
10:11 am
Krista
oh, just saw your post about Munner, musicmom. I don't know her well, but am concerned nonetheless.
10:11 am
Atalante
anything with aloe vera - alor vera gloop straight from the plant works wonders

12:36 pm
harpjane
I'm like Erma Bombeck, the only thing I use the iron for is to press down those peksy little tags that say "never needs ironing"
12:37 pm
inge
great, I will try that now. Bye for good
12:37 pm
harpjane
60 to go, think I'll actually go paint. I took the day off so I could paint, and so far I've shopped, exercised, and babbled....
12:37 pm
LeslieAnn
i think that's a pretty productive day, jane
12:38 pm
harpjane
Well, yeah, but now it's 85 degrees out! I should have painted, then shopped when it got hot.... oh well
12:38 pm
kalea
i've...........well, slept and babbled
12:39 pm
LeslieAnn
right, i'm with kalea ;) well have a good time, jane!

Yes, but the a isn't next to the l.
12:45 pm
tttoni
Oops, that wasn't the problem.
12:45 pm

Oh - I'm a little embarrased - but seems like you've got a sense of humor about it.
12:52 pm
tttoni
No, I really don't have a stutter. Well, finger was just a bit lazy when typing in my username.
12:53 pm
Uncagain
that is a 6/21 word, I thought we were looking for a 6/18
12:53 pm

Well - every time I see your name I want to say it out loud.

Now the "chia" earworm is in my head!!!

1:38 pm
lola100
thanks leslieann : )
1:38 pm
LeslieAnn
i think it's with a y - aryan
1:38 pm
Atalante
because its capitalised
1:38 pm
Atalante
and that!
1:38 pm
Vicuna
Many possible reasons. 1. usually spelled with a y, 2. proper noun. 3. the dictionary used by the game is COMPLETELY ARBITRARY!
1:39 pm
lola100
hi ata : )

1:55 pm

There are many fine almost words with the a in the wrong place!
1:56 pm

"realtor" has been added to the newest dictionaries, but that excludes Enable; why am I not surprised? (-:
1:58 pm
lola100
at7...sporty person?
1:58 pm
shutterbug
realtor isnt even in this puzzle.
1:58 pm
Atalante
LOL it really wasn't meant to look like a chihuahua - it just happened! its a little fantasy creature that half-gargoyle half-bat thing with big teeth - from the book I'm reading at the moment!
1:58 pm
FranMag
thanks lola!
1:58 pm
LeslieAnn
argh, thanks lola
1:59 pm
LeslieAnn
psst... realtor is trademarked by the n'tl assn. of realtors
1:59 pm
LeslieAnn
so it's capitalized, so not taken (even if it was in the puzzle)
1:59 pm
rumplestiltskin
Back again. Had to leave for a while. I have some catching up to do.
1:59 pm

I am pretty sure we've had realtor before and it was accepted.
2:00 pm
LeslieAnn
nope, we've had this convo a few times
2:00 pm

http://www.playbabble.com/510 this puzzle had "realtor" in it, but it wasn't accepted. "relator," oddly enough, is though
2:02 pm
Anj
Yo 'Nut : ) How you been??
2:02 pm
brandyjack
Well, I just fed it to my solver and it didn't print out realtor even though I made sure it was there...... Tood bad we couldn't get Lawyer's to trademark their profession too so we couldn't print it or refer to them in any way shape or form too..... Although realtor's haven't gone away yet either.....

well, welcome to babble penguin. you'll get better. there are 166 words in this grid today.
2:08 pm
Friedpenguin
That's a dead link. Leslie
2:09 pm
Friedpenguin
but thx anyway
2:09 pm
brandyjack
Fried, they aren't always in a stright or level line. Some of them are tied up like a gordian knot. The person who engages in sports, AT7/32, starts with one of the two 'A', does a slow counterclockwise spin before zigzagging to the bottom like a tilted pinball game.....
2:09 pm
LeslieAnn
you have to c&p the second line, also. or click on lickety's babble clues link below
2:09 pm
Vicuna
Fried, just go to "lickety's clues" link down below the grid.
2:09 pm
Aloyisius
just dawned on me... we need an "s" in this grid.
2:09 pm
FranMag
you have to paste it in pieces fried, it's not a dead link, trust me.
2:10 pm
Anj
...and if you wait about, someone* always types a word or two in the chat log : )
* usually me, or at least that's what my lawyer say I should say...

Dorens
no, aloysius, if we had an s we would be here for even longer
2:11 pm
shutterbug
no, its not penguin. I thought that to at first. copy the first line, paste it into your browser, then do the other half.
2:11 pm
Anj
Leslie, I have some of those : ) I've got a fractal generator as well...
2:11 pm
Aloyisius
(-: well, at least it would go a bit faster..
2:11 pm
Dorens
I'm thankful that mine are grown and out of the house, fran...I don't know how you younguns do it.
2:11 pm
FranMag
dorens, i was just thinking that, word list would be twice as long!
2:12 pm
FranMag
joking of course dorens! when they need me i drop the grid...really!
2:12 pm

I've already met William of Orange, thank you very much jilli. Just back from being told I have an infection, so will play babble for comfort--see you later

2:52 pm
CiociaJudy

2:52 pm
parsec
If you refresh after it does that, it'll sort itself out, usually. Or just be sure not to enter things until you see the last one hit.
2:52 pm
lbdawger
yeah, the server doesn't like it when i type in words too fast either
2:53 pm
Anj
Bugzy, i'm finding words that I *know* I entered are missing and I have to enter them again. I've found at least 3 like that today so far... : s
