AngelSong says: Some words that "are" real words will not be included in the Enable Dictionary, and other (sometimes "adult" or very strange) words you've never heard of will be there. It's all a part of the fun of Babble, so don't get stressed by it. Relax and just go with the flow and have fun.

snowyowl

The humidity I can do without. I like dry heat - but only if I'm near the swimmimg pool or the sea!
3:42 am

3:43 am
snowyowl

Well we don't get anything that extreme Pappou Ted & I don't envy you such desrtuctive weather. Must be terrifying. My husband would hate it -He's 69 & he still hates the wind!
3:45 am
PappouTed

it can get scary and before my dad passed away we had to worry about where to take him for dialysis in case we couldn't get him to his center. This summer we're prepared with a generator and we have all our window boards cut and ready. Hopefully, we won't have to use any of them
3:47 am

is anyone finding words for the bottom m? I can only find one
3:49 am

THIS IS BLOODY HARD
7:34 am
Girl Next Door

Hello all. I was just wondering if someone could explain how you know which words contain a certain number of letters, and what they start with before you even know the word? E.g. "se9" I am guessing that means it starts with se and is the 9 letter word. How do you know that? LOL Enlighten me please.
7:35 am
amandacath

are there any REAL words in there?
7:35 am
JFB

There's the odd one or two amandacath but they are well hidden.
7:36 am
Anniebrook

girl, se 9.72 the 9 is the number of letters in the word and the 72 is the total point value of the word as per the number on the tile
7:36 am
Andyd123

SEMIDASH!!!
7:36 am
Anniebrook

hi, amanda
7:36 am
amandacath

hi annie! that would be a hyphen, right Andy?

That should definately be a word Andy or at least a comment on the grid!
7:37 am

7:37 am
amandacath

GND - take a look at Angelsong's Babble page (link under friends of babble) - that should explain things
7:38 am
Girl Next Door

Annie, but how do you know that? I mean, I see numbers on the tiles. But how do you know the word will start with SE, has 9 letters and is 72 points. Am I missing something. I am new to this, in case you didn't guess. :)
7:38 am
Girl Next Door

Oh, OK. Thank you amanda! I will do that. Sorry for being so verbose this morning. LOL
7:39 am

it seems like that happens to many reality shows - people start to figure out the "types" and then they pick one to play, just as the producers figure out what the audience is into and amplifies that - the whole thing winds up seeming a little hollow.

There's a guy sitting at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half an hour.

Soon, a big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down.

The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand seeing a man crying."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I'm late to my office. My boss, in an outrage, fires me. When I leave the building to my car, I found out it was stolen.

"The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away. I go home and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home and come to this bar.

let's see the last sentence read, " Chapter Twenty-Six story began 9:13 pm August 23

When we last saw Paul and Gilly, they were off to sleep, after spending several hours watching over their daughter, Doris.

Paul was about to tell Gilly something he thought the children shouldn't be told.

As Paul pulled back the covers, Gilly shook out her robe and set it across the end of the bed.

She stretched her neck tiredly, and started to re-braid her hair.

Paul watched her appreciatively.

"You know, Gilly, you have changed, but only a little."

She blushed and climbed into bed, pulling the blanket up over her shoulders.

"What do you mean, Paul?"

Gilly considered the gray hairs, the wrinkles, the freckles on her arms from being in the sun. She thought of the change in her figure as her body rearranged itself.

Paul turned out the light and snuggled, "I mean, you still smile like you did when we were younger, but your eyes now tell me that you appreciate the reasons to smile."

"Your hands are scarred a bit from doing more work than you should, but they remain gentle and capable."

"And where you used to be have angles and edges -- "

Gilly hit him with a pillow. "Stop right there, Mister!"

Paul laughed, "See what I mean? Still can't compliment you on your looks!"

Gilly put her pillow back and snuggled, enjoying just being still and quiet.

"Paul," she whispered after a few minutes, "what was it that you wanted to tell me when the boys came in?"

Paul pulled back and turned out the lamp.

He grew distant and his voice quivered a bit.

"She knew, Gilly -- she knew everything, it seemed."

**into Paul mode without quotes on everything...**

She knew where I had been, and that I had traveled several years to get there. She knew that I was married, and had many children. She knew that I was a farmer...

I tried to ask her how she knew these things, but she always answered, "Some things are not for you to know yet."

She did tell me that the men had been wearing chains to pull the trunk -- they didn't use leather straps or ropes for pulling the heaviest loads.

She didn't tell me what was in the trunk, but she hinted that it was probably best that I not ask about it when other people were around.

It was all very mysterious.

But most of the ride that day was pleasant enough. She would point things out and tell me the names in three languages: ours, hers and the local tongue which was not familiar to me.

The oak tree she called "house wood" and the eagle was "carrion thief" -- the pretty flower you make calming tea from was "sleep herb" and the spring bitter leaf was "iron heart."

I can't remember most of the lessons, but it all made sense when she spoke.

I thought often of Ava, and the long walks I would take with her and Cathy, gathering berries and roots from the edges of the fields and woods.

About lunch time, we stopped at a small village that had an inn at the far side of town.

I helped her out of the cart. She seemed a bit taller to me, but I thought little of it.

We walked in, and the innkeeper's daughter brought good wine immediately. The woman thanked her graciously in their language and we were soon served a simple but wonderfully cooked meal of grain and meat.

As we left, the woman left a beautiful ring on the table.

I was astonished, for I had not noticed any jewelry on her.

We continued on, and as we moved through the valley, and the pass through the mountains came into view, I began to wonder how I came there and what would happen next."
