12:30 am

cybernan

12:30 am

jillibus

stid! you've heard from nrkii? Isn't this another new job for her?

Haz1558

Hello FranMag, nice to see you.

4:12 am

FranMag

Mornin' Fran

4:12 am

Haz1558

She's a Welsh Springer Spaniel, Fran.

4:13 am

FranMag

an English Springer Spaniel won the AKC national dog show this year, they look similar.

hi Fran

4:13 am

FranMag

hi ml!

4:13 am

Odin

4:14 am

FranMag

i just love watching the dog shows, especially the westminster

4:15 am

Haz1558

I know - some breeds I could happily leave at the show, others are SO beautiful.

4:17 am

FranMag

how's the grid today? i'm just starting, i have a total of 11 words. :-)

4:17 am

Haz1558

But I'll bet it's brainy as well as beautiful. Our previous dog, a dalmatian, was known to us as the Bimbo dog - all looks, no brains.

4:17 am

FranMag

how funny!

4:17 am

Haz1558

We loved her dearly, but Polka had her limitations in brain work.

4:18 am

Haz1558

The grid, by the way, is okay. I've got to 71 so far and resisting the list for a while longer.

5:34 am

mrpresident

11:03 am

hurshy

ooh, if we are voting, i vote for just saying the letter instead of all this cross/stick/snake business. or be more vague and just say consonant or vowel.

11:05 am

Bloodaxe

lizmac

Good!!

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

hahahahaha

11:11 am

hurshy

we've tried to push for eliminating those clues in the past, but the trouble is, only the people who happen to be chatting at the time see the talk about it, and we don't want to harp on it and hurt any feelings...

11:11 am

Bloodaxe

11:17 am

Haz1558

There's a debate?

11:19 am

72 Temple Owl

11:19 am

hurshy

um, not so much a debate as a general outcry

11:19 am

Bloodaxe

yes haz. a debate! i love this game!

11:19 am

lizmac

I don't think there is ! Everyone seems to agree!!

11:19 am

Haz1558

Okay, what are the sides?

11:20 am

chj

the montagues and the capulets

11:20 am

diem

Hi mari you on?

11:20 am

hurshy

everyone who is currently speaking up feels that instead of saying, for instance "cross letter", we may as well just say T, or be more vague and say consonant. people who disagree may not be speaking up at this point... or just aren't here...

11:20 am

chj

the a side and the b side

11:20 am

no chj, its' the bloods and the cryps.

Book Doctor Gwen

cross letter is too difficult to type, or sounds stupid, or what?

11:21 am

BabbleRabble

great taste or less filling

11:21 am

chj

i think the real point is that cluers should try to avoid as much as possible clueing a single letter

11:22 am

torgone

Boxers or briefs . .

11:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

I'm partial to the Pirate Channel letter, myself (R)

11:22 am

Haz1558

Surprise, surprise - I would rather cut my own throat than give out cross letters and snakes for clues. I HATE those clues with a passion. Now let me get back to my fence.

11:22 am

hurshy

i don't like the cross letter thing because i think if it is a one-to-one code, it is no different than SAYING the letter, and it is just a facade, a pretense of cluing.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

except for those times when the babbled out brain just will not accept anything less... ; /

11:22 am

chj

and i cant think of any reason to clue two single letters in the same clue

11:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

haz, you hate snakes and crosses? traumatic shildhood boardgame?

11:22 am

BabbleRabble

a cross letter is a t ..... everyone knows it is a t .... it is not a clue it is a fill in the blank

11:22 am

BabbleRabble

a cross letter is a t ..... everyone knows it is a t .... it is not a clue it is a fill in the blank

11:23 am

hurshy

but in those cases, TO, as babble suggests, we can just say the letter.

11:23 am

11:27 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

rebels unite! we are babblers we don't need no stinkin guidelines

11:28 am

hurshy

Rules would need a Method of Enforcement, which we have Not Got

11:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

we need a rulke against having rules. dammit.

11:29 am

torgone

As much as I don't like "just spell it out" clues, I reject the idea of cluing guidelines . .

11:29 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(going back to the annoying grid) (this is supposed to be fun you guys)

11:29 am

Bloodaxe

Hurshy, I'M a method of enforcement

11:29 am

chj

i think part of the problem is that there always going to be different levels and styles of clueing depending on who's giving the clues and there's no way aroubd that

11:29 am

Haz1558

Perhaps one of the problems is that older babblers (in terms of use of the game rather than seniority of age) know what the perceived rules are, newer members don't.

11:29 am

flosey

yes, and stating the numerical placement of a letter in the alphabet is just as silly as not giving the letter

11:30 am

hurshy

i think the only thing we can do is try to discourage the use of silly clues without hurting feelings.

11:30 am

DRBERNABO

I like cute clues that suggest the word rather than the spelling

11:30 am

Haz1558

Gosh, from having joined a grid in rebellion, suddenly there's a move to conciliation.

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

haz you nailed it. and the reality was that not everyone finished.

11:30 am

flosey

you're right Haz, and guess I'd be considered a more recent player

11:30 am

BabbleRabble

hurshy has it right ...... those that want to go beyond the snakes, and chairs may ..... a voluntary thing not intented to cause problems ... this is a preference for me

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

i like definitions - i am whole-brained

11:31 am

Book Doctor Gwen

c*air letter? (ack!)

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

and i like puns

11:31 am

chj

and also cluers sometimes have to tailor their clues to the level of comprehension of the clue receiver

11:31 am

hurshy

hooray for puns!

11:31 am

flosey

indeed TO - but I do find some of them a bit too cerebral for my old brain

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

chj are you thinking of me after 9PM LOL

11:31 am

Haz1558

It's disheartening when you give a clue and get 'Huh?'

11:31 am

bgmadden

I would have to vote on clues that stimulate thinking as that's why I babble.....

11:31 am

DRBERNABO

but it should require a bit of thinking

11:32 am

Book Doctor Gwen

definitions are not helpful with the word is titration or crenel!!!!!

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

they are if you google it - a lost art

11:32 am

hurshy

yes but i think we would probably all agree that our objection is not to easy clues per se, when someone really needs an easy clue, but to clues that are merely a pretense.

11:32 am

BabbleRabble

if the clues don't work for you, ask again

11:32 am

bgmadden

By the way Haz I finally got the pup up..

11:33 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ack!

11:33 am

Haz1558

So I see - absolutely lovely!

although the log format then made it easier to look for clues

11:33 am

gwen, why do you keep acking

11:33 am

TO, don't feel guilty on my account - I admire clever wit - and indeed br, we can ask again

11:35 am

flosey

sure, let's hear it chj

11:35 am

Haz1558

TO - I don't think you actually say 'huh', you just ask again, which is fine. I don't mind giving another clue for a word.

11:35 am

11:36 am

I don't like the clues that just spell it out, even if they are in code (just for the record). Btw, even though I'm failrly new here, it didn't take more than a couple of minutes to figure out the 'rule' that you don't just post grid words in the chat.
So there are rules of a sort, already.

K.Elis, exactly, I figgered that out pretty quick too.

DRBERNABO

yes, I mistyped

11:39 am

DRBERNABO

yes, I mistyped

11:39 am

Haz1558

There can be guidelines though - the debate centred around the spelling out of words via hump letters and snakes.

11:39 am

DRBERNABO

repeatedly apparently

11:39 am

hurshy

yes, Rules would be Harsh, but Suggestions are Friendly

11:40 am

kthdsn

oh ok I don't mind those clues if the word is difficult

11:40 am

flosey

indeed hurshy, much gentler

11:40 am

kthdsn

there are always some words that you just can't get without someone spelling it out for oyu

11:40 am

hurshy

nTkh, the Suggestion on the Table is to Just Say the Letter when Necessary, instead of having a Silly Code

11:40 am

K.Elisabet

... or conventions. Most people will adapt to the style they see being used.

11:40 am

kthdsn

and for those who don't want clues, they can always turn the chat off

11:41 am

hurshy

we DO want clues, just not facades of clues

11:41 am

K.Elisabet

I vote for saying the letter *if* it comes to that, but I prefer to have clues that are at least a bit of a challenge first.

11:41 am

kthdsn

oh ok, so for impossible words where you have to say the letters, just say the letters

11:42 am

Book Doctor Gwen

snakes! ack!

11:42 am

*really likes k.elisabet*

11:42 am

Must go for now everyone..making chicken and noodles the old way....and I've got to get the noodles made.

11:43 am

hurshy

usually, nTkh, you find that you can clue part of a word, but maybe need to fill in one letter. so we are suggesting just saying that one letter, or simply saying consonant or vowel, would be preferable to the stick letter business

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

11:44 am

it would also be nice if it automatically turned any grid words typed into the chat log into ****, like the swearing filers they have in some chat rooms, I hate when annoying people come along and post loads of words on purpose

come on and have some everyone...It cooks all day

11:45 am

i dunno, nTkh, i think that might be hard for doc to program

be right there bg - love the idea of home made noodles

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

trolls will be trolls...not much to do

11:45 am

hurshy

since the words woudl change every day

11:45 am

kthdsn

it shouldn't be too difficult, just a few lines of code and an array containing the words for the day

11:46 am

bgmadden

K.E. Old farm/Amish style Flosey

11:46 am

bgmadden

K.E. Old farm/Amish style Flosey

11:46 am

hurshy

well you can always email that suggestion to the doc and see if he'll do it

11:46 am

kthdsn

there must already be an array containing the list of words for the day otherwise it wouldn't know when you entered a correct one in the grid

11:46 am

hurshy

it would also save those of us who accidentally post words from all that embarrassment :)

11:46 am

K.Elisabet

the filter might slow chat down a bit, if the grid is large

11:46 am

I will do hurshy if others think it's a good idea

11:47 am

but they are the best clues- and funny, too!

11:48 am

BabbleRabble

many times if no one else would publicise the word, that it got in the grid would go unnoticed

any suggestions on how to find a high school friend without paying somebody? if they have not signed up at classmates.com and a free white pages search fails?

12:40 pm

stidmama

okay.

12:40 pm

stidmama

contact the school? see if the reunion committee has their address

12:41 pm

kthdsn

google their name?

12:41 pm

Uneaixoise

or hire Adrian Monk

12:41 pm

hurshy

i don't think my school knows MY address, so i doubt they know anybody else's. and he did not go to the reunion... but i suppose they might have his address anyway (i did google, that also failed), and i LOVE MONK!!!!!!!!!!

12:41 pm

stidmama

LOL Une!

12:42 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

12:42 pm

kthdsn

at least he's a he, you have a better chance of finding guys as they don't tend to get married and change surnames

12:43 pm

hurshy

classmates.com used to let you send messages free and now they don't - i tried messaging a mutual friend but unless she is a gold member she won't get it.

12:43 pm

stidmama

*grin* I changed both my first and last names! LOL very few people can find me. Though my parents still live in the same house.

12:43 pm

kthdsn

I take it classmates is like friendsreunited

12:44 pm

stidmama

I think so kth

12:44 pm

stidmama

what about one of the classmates you've "found" already, hurshy?

12:45 pm

kthdsn

most people have amazon wishlists, although if you find the list you can't contact the person without buying something off their list

12:45 pm

kthdsn

have you tried the msn and yahoo messenger people directories?

12:45 pm

firefly779

hi stid - you changed your first name too??

12:46 pm

hurshy

well but how am i to know if it is the right person, lots of people have the same name?

12:46 pm

stidmama

yep. sure did -- dropped my first name and went with my middle name. That was before I got married. I had the same name as my mother and things were just too confusing!

12:46 pm

hurshy

i just emailed one of my friends to see if she has contact info for whoever ran the reunion so i can email them and see if they have contact info for the person i want, lol

12:47 pm

kthdsn

you could try phone directories if you have some idea of where he might be living

12:47 pm

firefly779

very interesting stid! i can understand the confusion issue

12:47 pm

firefly779

very interesting stid! i can understand the confusion issue

12:47 pm

stidmama

worth a try, hurshy! I can't think of anyone I went to high school with that I would want to be in contact with... the few who live around here are so not in my social circle!

12:47 pm

hurshy

yeah, i'll have to look in my parents' phone book when i'm there at christmas. i think he still lives around there.

12:47 pm

stidmama

well, it's not THAT interesting, firefly!

12:48 pm

walnutchen

hi all! Total for today??

12:48 pm

12:48 pm

did you google his name and the place name together?

12:48 pm

walnutchen

thanks stid!

12:48 pm

hurshy

yup, didn't work

12:48 pm

stidmama

okay, down to 34 and stuck. going for the list. brb

12:48 pm

hurshy

googling works better for... illustrious people

12:49 pm

firefly779

it's interesting to me stid - i've never known anyone to change their first name before, although i know a few guys who do use their middle instead

12:49 pm

stidmama

you can google me... *grin* I am SO unique! LOL

12:50 pm

hurshy

he was going to become a carpenter - do they have an association?

12:50 pm

stidmama

Turns out it's a family tradition on both sides of my family. People get named for their parents or grandparents and then use their middle name or a variant of the middle name. I can trace this pattern back about three hundred years...

12:50 pm

kthdsn

have you tried using msn search or yahoo, they give massively different results and often have more "junky" pages at the top, like personal homepages and stuff

12:50 pm

stidmama

But I am the only one in about two generations to do it!

12:50 pm

stidmama

YES hurshy -- they do! the carpenter's union... good idea!

12:51 pm

kthdsn

how odd stid, it must get very confusing if you're trying to trace the family history

12:51 pm

hurshy

of course i don't know if he actually did become a carpenter, but i'll try it. i did a yahoo people search... but not the IM thing... i doubt he'd have IM

12:52 pm

stidmama

It was, until I figured it out. Now I start looking at other data as well as names. Besides, with non-standard spellings and illiteracy things like who they lived with and where turns out to be a better way to identify a person.

12:52 pm

kthdsn

you could also try searching for other members of his family, some names are easier to find in search engines than others

12:52 pm

stidmama

okay, need to check laundry... Monday is my BUSY day!

12:54 pm

hurshy

well i found a thing that i think is him, it listed some relatives names so you could tell and i think i remembered his dad and sister's names, but then you have to pay to get address and phone number off it!

12:54 pm

hurshy

so frustrating.

in many states, carpenters have to be licensed and bonded ..... call office of the secretary of state and for a relatively small fee they will do search and give you the address and phone number

12:55 pm

kthdsn

if the information exists then you can usually find it for free but sometimes you have to try REALLY hard

12:56 pm

firefly779

if it's not insulting to do so, may i ask what age range are you in hurshy?

12:56 pm

msilver620

stidmama, did you check out Peoplefinders.com

12:57 pm

hurshy

i'm 29... and the one i found that i am pretty sure is him said 29 too

12:58 pm

firefly779

ok, then is it in any way possible he'd be on Myspace? I'm 27, and a lot of my old classmates are on there - I found lots of old friends!

12:58 pm

firefly779

I even found two I'd went to Jr. High with, in another state

12:58 pm

msilver620

I use to do adoption search (as a volunteer) so I use to have software but I stopped thatt. It was so draining and I was going broke

12:59 pm

hurshy

i really doubt it - he's not the type of guy to do myspace

12:59 pm

firefly779

hmm, well, i think you can do a search anyways, without having to have an account - maybe just give it a shot to be sure

1:00 pm

msilver620

hurshy, did you check people finders.com

1:00 pm

hurshy

msilver - peoplefinders has him, but i have to pay $9.95 for the info. i will if i can't find him free.

1:00 pm

kthdsn

you might find someone else who knows him still, 6 degrees of seperation...

1:01 pm

msilver620

I might be getting Peopllefinders for the month to help someone. I'll let you know if I do. I'll do what ever searches you want.

1:02 pm

hurshy

i have to decide which i prefer - awkward call to local carpenter's union, or spending ten bucks. oh wow, thanks msilver, that's so sweet of you.

1:02 pm

stidmama

okay back.

1:02 pm

stidmama

grayed the A!

1:03 pm

msilver620

She's paying to get information to find stuff out about the woman or woment her husband is cheating on her with. She caught him with one. She gave him another chance. Now he's with someone else.

1:03 pm

hurshy

oh :(

1:03 pm

stidmama

oh how sad, msilver.

1:04 pm

stidmama

and the C is done

1:04 pm

msilver620

It's not me. It's my cousin's friend. I'm finished with men and marriage!

1:05 pm

hurshy

to quote adam sandler (or whoever's song it is to begin with), "love stinks!"

1:06 pm

stidmama

and the D (just letting folks know so I can help if you need it)

1:06 pm

kthdsn

oh msilver what a waste of time, she would be better forgetting about the women and the guy and getting on with making herself happy

1:06 pm

hurshy

ty tor, you are always a wonderful font of information

1:06 pm

bichon

en 7? clues anyone?

1:06 pm

hurshy

(ooh i was thinking that too nTkh!)

1:07 pm

hurshy

1:07 pm

stidmama

bichon, to cast a magic spell...

1:07 pm

bichon

pith

1:07 pm

msilver620

I have Little Silver (my icon) my kitten Sasha, and 3 other daughters. I'm perfectly happy. That's enough love for me. I don't need any man to have to worry about hurting me again or dying. It will have to end one way or the other.

1:07 pm

stidmama

um, not for the EN, bichon!

1:08 pm

bichon

thanx stid.

1:08 pm

Judi

Afternoon, all! Long time no Babble.

1:08 pm

hurshy

not necessarily, msilver, you could die first (is this more cheerful than your other two options? hmm...)

1:08 pm

torgone

Heya judi ..

1:09 pm

msilver620

I told her to forget about the whole thing but she has to show certain proof for the divorce. He stole money from her. It's so complicated.

1:09 pm

hurshy

ick.

1:09 pm

stidmama

well hi there judi!

1:09 pm

msilver620

Not with my luck

1:09 pm

torgone

Or you could find a loving reliable man who stays with you the rest of your life . . .

1:09 pm

stidmama

and that's why my grandmother refused to marry her last husband legally...

1:09 pm

hurshy

like torgone!

1:10 pm

M3

1st an 5 please x

1:10 pm

hurshy

torgone is a GREAT guy, msilver, and he's not REALLY in the czech republic - but he has low self esteem.

1:10 pm

stidmama

her third husband was a toad who took everything out of the house one day when she was teaching.

1:10 pm

hurshy

an + tolkein's mobile trees

1:10 pm

Judi

Kiss a frog, marry a prince.

1:10 pm

hurshy

she should have kissed him and turned him into a prince, lol

1:11 pm

Judi

Kiss a toad, marry a thief.

1:11 pm

kthdsn

that's what I've got tor, even if he does disappearing acts lol

1:11 pm

hurshy

snap judi :)

1:11 pm

msilver620

We'll see. I can't get marrried anyway. I have Little Silver. She wouldn't be too happy about that at night. I'm fine with things the way they are.

1:11 pm

hurshy

can't stand the thought of her mother doing the horizontal mambo, eh?

1:11 pm

torgone

=O

1:12 pm

msilver620

No No

1:12 pm

mamabear

hi everyone! oh, I see we're on my favorite topic..... marriage.... I'll abstain.

1:12 pm

msilver620

I didn't mean that. She likes to sleep with me.

1:12 pm

kthdsn

why is it your favourite topic mama

1:12 pm

hurshy

ah.

1:12 pm

Judi

Wise thinking, Msilver. A little pussy is always better than a big toad.

1:13 pm

msilver620

Somehow she thinks I'm a virgin.

1:13 pm

hurshy

lol

1:13 pm

torgone

=O

1:13 pm

stidmama

ROFL... why do we only hear about the unfortunate marriages? My other grandparents barely missed 60 years when he died of cancer. My Tom is a wonderful man...

1:13 pm

mamabear

I was being fasetious (never did know how to spell that word)

1:14 pm

msilver620

facetious

1:14 pm

kthdsn

my grandparents, parents and parents in law are all happily married

1:14 pm

mamabear

Good for you, stid - I'm happy for you!!!! They're not all bad....

1:14 pm

hurshy

i know one couple that i know for sure has a very happy marriage. others that i think might, but you never know if people are only happy in appearance.

1:14 pm

msilver620

I'm a court reporter. I think that's it.

1:14 pm

stidmama

c in third place, MAMA :-)

1:14 pm

stidmama

and some people (my in-laws, I believe) complain a lot but care deeply for each other. This month is their 50th!

1:15 pm

Judi

Ah, I don't think happy couples are so rare. Me and the ball and chain have been married for 21 years.

1:15 pm

mamabear

very true, hurshy

1:15 pm

kthdsn

people seem to think my marriage is unhappy because we're not jealous or possessive over each other, I don't see how that's a sign of unhapiness

1:15 pm

M3

en 6 please x

1:16 pm

mamabear

sounds healthy to me, kthdsn

Oh, you want a clue for the he4/6, he+stick letter plus double hump
