Good thinking, mrP!
4:17 am
KittyVane
I'm still upset that "Lurex" isn't a proper word, and that "poot" isn't accepted either
4:18 am
mrpresident
Lurex...?? sounds like a sleazy condom
4:18 am
mrpresident
and I am not touching poot!
4:18 am
KittyVane
haha, it's a type of fabric
4:18 am
sprite
lurex and durex, perfectly common words they have become.
But not to enable.
Lurking in the middle ages, enable manages to hold down millions of babblers from all over the world.
4:19 am
KittyVane
"poot" is what I use to onomatopoetically describe a small fart
4:19 am

5:20 am
FranMag
word stats tell you how many words of what lengths are in the grid
5:20 am

A1/3 means: from the upper left A tile start 3 words and you already found one of them.

ps spanky - the convention is to not type words or possible words into the chat. only clues.
5:34 am
magzel
i don't quite get that clue sprite
5:34 am

Spanky - no, you can use that one letter many times - just not in the same word.
5:35 am

duh - first 2 letters - sorry

6:11 am
Dianne
I have to go soon - anyone need any more clues?
6:14 am
Andree
I'm off goodnight everyone
6:14 am
lynxxx
Goddess - the convention is to not spell out any part of the word - except the first two letters of course. just find another word that means it - for instance I said male instead of saying the last word as you did. Most people enjoy the challenge of nutting out the answer themselves - indeed the more cryptic the better.
6:15 am

keeen - the time totally depends on the sizde of the grid and usually experience as your vocab will build up. The grid last night was over 300 words but that can take as long as one with 70 words. It is really hard to say how long it takes!

The Goddess
hee hee, I just got it by adding a letter DOH
6:31 am
lynxxx
OK then you are missing ha5.18 - which means it has five letters with a point score of 18 ( a tile value of 9 - as 5 letter words are worth double). I gave the words in alphabetical order to you which means it comes alphabetically after the music one - and you just got it - YAY
6:32 am
The Goddess

Jacula
Hetty - That's an idea. I have some ground tapioca & so might try that with one of the pies. (I'll be picking some more blackberries over the next week.) Been picking sloes for Mum to make sloe gin with, too.
10:33 am
ladynoire1013
Okay, if Babble takes French words, why isn't noire a word
10:33 am
shorty
I went on KA**** and gave this guy a KI** (said with a lisp) :)

10:33 am
ladynoire1013
Mm, my hubby loves sloe plums
10:33 am
EvaNadine
lady -- no "E" at the end. :)

10:33 am
Jacula

10:33 am

hetty
Thanks Jac., everything I've tried of yours has been simply scrumptious
10:42 am
raelite
you know it as oxycontin...it's the pill house pops on tv
10:43 am
hetty
I don't recognize these names. Strictly an ibuprofen person me ( for arthritic pain)
10:43 am
ladynoire1013
KL, go the pharmacy - you can get an over the counter med for your pain - turns your urine orange, but it works
10:43 am
ladynoire1013
Vicodin is not oxycontin - not as powerful
10:44 am
raelite
are you sure you're not thinking of oxycocet?
10:44 am
LeslieAnn
hmm wish the grid took oprah (i know, proper noun)
10:44 am
ladynoire1013
its oxycodone in the generic
10:44 am
Jacula
Recipe's in BabAnon now, hetty. I'm glad you've enjoyed what you tried so far. I do like to hear feedback from people.
10:45 am
raelite
I always had to double check that one when we got rxs for it in the pharmacy
10:45 am
ladynoire1013
oops, sorry, its hydrocodone
10:45 am
ladynoire1013
percocet is oxycodone
10:45 am
shorty
oxycontin is a powerful pain killer used usually for cancer patients. vicodin is used for when you have surgery or back pains ect.
10:45 am
raelite
yes, that's right
10:45 am
ladynoire1013
I cant take oxycontin - too much respiratory suppression
10:46 am
ladynoire1013
Right, Shorty - its nasty, evil stuff - very addictive
10:46 am
shorty
yeppers sure is
10:46 am
ladynoire1013
I thought House took morphine
10:46 am
raelite
no he takes vico
10:46 am
ladynoire1013
anyway, I take vicodin for a torn rotator cuff
10:47 am
raelite
as far as I know, morphine doesn't come in a tablet
10:47 am
ladynoire1013
Mmm, I saw one ep, he was injecting Morphine
10:47 am
ladynoire1013
yes, morphine comes in oral meds
10:47 am
raelite
he was injecting it, but those pills he pops are vicodin
10:47 am
ladynoire1013
and liquid too - the pediatric liquid is Smurf blue
10:47 am
raelite
morphine comes in capsules only
10:48 am
raelite
15,30,60,100,200mg
10:48 am
ladynoire1013
Nope, the pediatric morphine is a liquid - its Windex blue
10:48 am
raelite
and liquid, oral, sc, bucc, and supps
10:48 am
ladynoire1013
but ped's only get very small doses, much smaller than 15mg
10:49 am
raelite
ped take liquid...usuallly 1mg/ml quant or less
10:49 am
Jacula
Aw, shame Babble doesn't allow 'yampy'! (It's a Brummie/Black Country expression for 'nuts/crazy/bonkers'.)
10:49 am
ladynoire1013
Rae - you got a PDR over there?
10:49 am
raelite

I"m allergic to morphine, so I can't take it, but the blue color always made me laugh (I'm a nurse)
10:51 am
raelite
well I've never tried it personally, but it does smell kind of like vodka
10:51 am
ladynoire1013
Yuck!
10:52 am
raelite
if you're on liquid morphine, you're really not caring about the taste at that point
10:52 am
ladynoire1013
I'm allergic to codeine, morphine, NSAIDS, aspartame .... the list just goes on
10:52 am
LeslieAnn

10:53 am
ladynoire1013

10:53 am
raelite
it's the buccal shots that freak me out

ladynoire1013
refresh my memory - buccal shots are under the tongue?
10:54 am
raelite

10:54 am
ladynoire1013
I didn't know lupus patients cant take morphine
10:54 am
ladynoire1013

Thats very true rae but some people dont cope as well as others

babble helps me cope. for many years, I sat and endlessly played the word games on yahoo -- and the arcade games -- because life was so scary. Now that I have babble I get a LOT done, and I can look forward to sitting down with either game or friends when I need. {{{Dr_God}}}

I spend a little bit of time babbling, then when I hit a wall I get up and work for 15 -20 minutes (if it's housework); or an hour or so (if it's art); then I babble some more :-)

12:11 pm

It was like that back in Illinois where I am from- tiger lilies all over the roadsides.....
12:11 pm

there's something out there called soy silk, made from soy protein
12:13 pm
stidmama
the only difficulty with the peace silk will be making the scarves, though I think it would be a good excuse to sit in the evenings and watch TV while I hem them.
12:13 pm
ladynoire1013
I've only seen it in embroidery silks thought
12:13 pm
stidmama
Oh -- a type of soy "rayon" -- hadn't heard of that, will need to go looking!

I seem to remember a Road Runner cartoon where Wile E. Coyote was under the ground with a bomb, but they were only showing some cacti above the ground. When the bomb exploded, the cacti, spelled out the word ****!

FMitch
a 6 letter word could total 7 points and then x that by 3 fir 21
1:39 pm
amelu0218
if the base score of the word is an odd number, multiplying it by 3 keeps it odd, yes? example base 7 x 3 = 21... (6 letter being x3)
1:39 pm
amelu0218
exactly FMitch.

stidmama
lovely day, flosey! I guess you're enjoying the weather as well?
1:48 pm
Anniebrook
stid, hope you are feeling better
1:48 pm
NANCY
Hi Stidmama, yes, that was a real bunch of nothing...not that I am complaining...just that the weathermen down here delight in trying to scare everyone and now we know that they knew way ahead of time that Ernesto was going to be a bust. Hopefully, people will not turn them off when there is danger. Right now, we are having a storm with lightning and thunder that is 4 times what yesterday brought....oh the joys of living in Florida
1:49 pm
stidmama
I have been on the West coast of Florida opposite Orlando in one of the those storms, Nancy! I know it wasn't a bad one, but to me it was really scary... and lightning hit the house I was in!
1:49 pm
stidmama
Annie, I am well today, thanks!
1:49 pm

indeed we are stid,

thanks all - working on cavemen drilling heads - glad to hear you're feeling better today stid!!
1:50 pm
torgone
I think weatherpersons are frustrated terrorists ..
1:51 pm
flosey
ouch, stid, drilling hole in head - was that to release the evil pain?
1:51 pm
ladynoire1013
I guess they're afraid to under emphasize the weather, since Katrina
1:51 pm
ladynoire1013
Debbi, caveman drilling heads?

I know, they are all a joke down here. Everyone feels the same way and we delight in making fun of them but honestly, how great is it that they are right approximately 20% of the time.
2:01 pm

MVA -- I have a computer program that has lots of languages, Cornish is one of them. Only a few phrases I am afraid, but wow is it interesting! I thought it would sound more like Welsh, but it's WAY different!
2:16 pm
MVA
it uses the same base, as did the breton language.
2:17 pm
MVA
i never learnt Cornish when in Cornwall, unlike in Wales where Welsh is compulsory up to 16 yrs
2:19 pm
stidmama
I think it's wonderful that Wales is helping keep its language alive... If only that were true in more places! I am intrigued by languages -- the similarities, the mutations between members of the same linguistic branches... just fun!
2:22 pm
MVA
Breton and Welsh are @live@ languages whilst the Cornish language died, but renewed interest brought it back, and the number os cornish speakers are increasing
2:22 pm
stidmama
did everyone dive into the grid?

2:24 pm
