1:43 am

sprite

hm, that one goes over my head

1:44 am

never put off till tomorrow what you can let others do today

Okay, I now have a word for each tile. NOW it's shower time.

1:57 am

FranMag

Kanga - another lost weekend for you then

1:57 am

Duncton Wood, from William Horwood - it is about moles, like Watership D4 is about rabbits. Very touching and poetic.

Meaningless protest over absence of queso from the dictionary and my mouth...

Douglas

We do have some young people here from time to time...like wordygurl and snppngtrtle...

kangabrat

get me on a good day, namtap, and i'll be as incomprehensible as you like...

2:11 am

2:14 am

sprite

once again, Fran...

2:14 am

ursh

I think young people are "speaking" the language they use to send cell phone messages - big problem

2:15 am

namtap

Yeah. It's terrible. Is it like that everywhere, or is there something horribly wrong with the American education system? Or have kids just stopped caring?

2:15 am

jaa1169

i dunno, i think its an abbreviation, so they can relate more rapidly, i know my son kicks my butt in typing

2:15 am

sprite

times are changing, as always, and so is language, both written and spoken.

2:16 am

FranMag

i'll be right back (again)

2:16 am

ursh

Yep Sprite and we must adapt or die

2:16 am

jaa1169

nah, ursh, we make more money

2:17 am

namtap

Well, of course language will change, but it shouldn't change to the point of actually being incorrect.

2:17 am

sprite

I think it is interesting to see what happens to language and communication nowadays. Though I can really shudder when I read something that is supposed to be correct, argh.

2:18 am

ursh

How many people under 25 read for pleasure - i mean read - not flip through a mag??

2:18 am

sprite

my kids are, ursh.

2:18 am

kangabrat

fireworks!

2:18 am

Douglas

You are the sort like we're our sort, namtap...

2:18 am

namtap

My roommate is an English major and hates reading. Sad, huh?

2:18 am

ShaunageLL

I do, have since I was about 7

2:18 am

kangabrat

but then, ursh, i know a lot people my age who haven't read a book for years.

2:18 am

ursh

So difficult to get kids to read for fun - takes too long they say

2:19 am

lynxxx

Congrats Kanga!

2:19 am

jaa1169

little spelling mistakes and abbreviations do not bother me, but major grammatical things do...i guess i just want to know that someone is being "trendy", "slangy", rather than just stupid

2:19 am

kangabrat

(thanks lynxxx)

2:19 am

namtap

I'm not one to talk, though, because I don't read nearly as much as I should. Though I'm reading A Clockwork Orange now, and recently finished The Stranger.

2:20 am

sprite

a fast sudoku for me and then shower... and then our lovely weekend without kids with romantic dinner, hotel and champagne breakfast (sorry to be rubbing it in)
Oh, difference between then and than, also a nice one.

2:25 am

ursh

Good "real" man Sprite!!

2:25 am

As where most people my age will stay up all night partying, I do it playing a word game on the internet.

2:26 am

kangabrat

you'll live longer, and happier nam.

2:26 am

namtap

Longer, perhaps. Not sure about the happier, though.

2:27 am

kangabrat

nam! bet on it. this will ward off alzheimers ,for one thing.

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

I am truly blind from yesterday. Is it too early to ask for help with the pe 6/24?

2:28 am

Douglas

No, as it's a rather odd word...

2:28 am

kangabrat

couldn't see it either. to steal a cat, or parakeet, or ferret...

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

aww just found it

2:28 am

VolleymomDee

compound word

2:28 am

namtap

I'm having real trouble with that 8-letter word.

2:29 am

Douglas

I don't have it either nam, but I'm not suffering...

2:29 am

kangabrat

when you leave on your overseas trip, nam, your friends will give you a great se8.

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

great clue

2:31 am

kangabrat

ty dee.

2:31 am

lynxxx

TY kanga - and Douglas for pointing out the aplication of ed's

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

you're quite welcome!

2:31 am

Douglas

yw lynxxx...

2:31 am

namtap

Well, I must not be too bright, 'cause I'm not getting it. :)

2:32 am

kangabrat

2:32 am

kangabrat

and whose bright at 4 in the morning?

2:32 am

kangabrat

*who"s*

2:32 am

Douglas

Actually, your friends will give you a great se7/56...they might give you multiple se8/75s

2:33 am

namtap

Haha. I'm probably more sharp at 4am than I am during the day.

2:33 am

Douglas

But kanga gave such a great clue I didn't want to carp or criticize...

2:33 am

Angb

Hi all - back again. Great news - Manu Samoa has just won the final in the rugby sevens

2:34 am

kangabrat

so i can't count... usually can spell... usually! :)

2:34 am

Douglas

I seem to recall reading A Clockwork Orange in high school, as the film had just come out...

2:35 am

tazpink

greetings all babblers

2:36 am

Douglas

Why is that great news Angb? Are you a Manu Samoa fan? Do you have money wagered on the match?

2:36 am

namtap

I really like it so far. The 'Nasdat' thing is a bit difficult to grasp at times, but I think it's a great idea.

2:36 am

namtap

I really like it so far. The 'Nasdat' thing is a bit difficult to grasp at times, but I think it's a great idea.

2:36 am

namtap

Oops.

2:36 am

lynxxx

Hi AngB. I was hearing about the rugby yesterday - are you from Samoa?

2:36 am

kangabrat

hi taz pink.

2:37 am

Angb

Manu Samoa is a small nation in the South Pacific, however they have huge hearts. They were up against Fiji - believe or not rugby sevens champions.

2:37 am

lynxxx

Hi Taz!

2:37 am

tazpink

hey kang ty for the welcome

2:37 am

Angb

Lynxxx - No I am not. However, there are so many Samoans in Auckland that it is sort of like a sister nation

2:37 am

tazpink

hiya lynxxx

2:37 am

kangabrat

gotta love the underdog. it is the australian way. (even in nz)

2:37 am

Douglas

2:38 am

MVA

hi taz

2:38 am

2:38 am

Angb

Hi taz

2:38 am

Are rugby sevens played with just seven on a side?

herinfernallady

Angb

Yep, it's a great open game - heaps of running with the ball

2:39 am

lynxxx

herinfernallady

Nam give up n accept somtimes itjust doesnt make sense

2:48 am

Morning Haz, very icy start here this morning.

3:22 am

FranMag

hi FM!

3:22 am

FMitch

Evening Fran

3:22 am

Haz1558

Yes, it has frozen overnight here as well - glad to see it after the rain!

3:22 am

FMitch

Rain!! at least it wasn

3:23 am

FMitch

wasn't snow

3:23 am

Haz1558

I know - fine to look at, rotten to work with.

3:23 am

namtap

I like snow.

3:23 am

FMitch

Did you finish yesterdays monster inthe end?

3:24 am

Haz1558

I did - liked the first part, enjoyed the finish and asked myself what I was thinking of during the middle.

3:24 am

Haz1558

What about yourself?

3:24 am

meatpikmin

that's what she said

3:24 am

CTasasin

Did you figure it out 100% by yourself??

3:25 am

Odin

Mornin' FMitch, Miss Haz, Fran, BabRab, her, and anyone I've missed.

3:25 am

FranMag

hi odin!

3:25 am

Haz1558

You have got to be kidding CT - got to 300 or so and then used 'other resources'.

3:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning Odin - good to see you! Any trouble with the weather for you?

3:26 am

Odin

Hey Fran...I personally am glad to see a grid with a smaller number today!

3:26 am

FMitch

Morning Odin.

Yes I finished Haz but not w/o the list

3:26 am

CTasasin

Oi but 300 is still a ton, I think I capped out at 218 or something lame.

3:26 am

FranMag

me too odin!

3:27 am

Haz1558

CT - this game takes practice. Lots of the words which I now use without thinking were unknown to me before babble.

3:27 am

herinfernallady

hello new people diner has arrived

3:27 am

Odin

I ran out of time due to family commitments and worked like the devil to finish to no avail

3:28 am

herinfernallady

i ran out of time due to sleep and going out for a coffee

3:28 am

Haz1558

And yes, Odin, I was debating with myself at what point I would decide NOT to do the grid today. I'm glad it's smaller as well.

3:28 am

Haz1558

Odin, how is your mother doing?

3:28 am

FranMag

i finished yesterday's, but not the day before's

3:29 am

herinfernallady

but fran you rock

3:29 am

FranMag

why thank you infernal. :-)

3:30 am

Odin

Haz she is much better. Thanks for asking. The medicated her for the Alzheimers without her knowing (she thinks it is blood pressure medicine) so we may see an improvement in a few months. Blood pressure back to normal and my Pop is back to normal.

3:30 am

namtap

Okay... it's 4:30 AM, and I have 39 words left. Attempt to finish this, or just go to sleep?

3:30 am

herinfernallady

its true i dont know how many people that did finish it

3:30 am

Haz1558

That's good to hear, Odin. It puts a strain on everyone when one member of the family is ill.

3:30 am

Odin

Sleep is over rated nam

3:31 am

Haz1558

namtap - there are 20 hours to finish this. Go to bed!

3:32 am

3:34 am

Haz1558

Sorry, rolin, I don't have it yet. You've voted for namtap to go to bed and finish the puzzle later.

3:35 am

FranMag

we're telling namtap that he (or she) should go to bed and finish later.

3:35 am

LeslieS

what is pe6/24 please? Not sure what that means

3:36 am

FranMag

bye rolin!

3:36 am

namtap

For pe6/24, think 'stealing animals.' It's a kind of bizarre one, really.

3:36 am

Haz1558

Democracy (or bossy women) in action......

3:36 am

FranMag

leslie, it's a word that starts with PE, has 6 letters and it's worth 24 points.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Thanks FranMag for the pe6/24

3:37 am

FranMag

3:37 am

LeslieS

I am new at this

3:38 am

Haz1558

The people who have found that word have typed it into their word list and it shows as the word, the number of letters and the points awarded.

3:38 am

CTasasin

When you add the word you can look in your word list and find the point count... otherwise... you'd have to do some math I guess haha

3:38 am

FranMag

leslie, if you go to angelsong's babble page in the links below, you'll find some good information.

3:38 am

namtap

pe6/24 means that the word starts with the letters 'pe,' has 6 letters, and 24 is worth 24 points.

3:39 am

namtap

...and 24 is worth 24 points?

3:39 am

namtap

Okay, it's official -- I need sleep.

3:39 am

LeslieS

8:01 am

Mom

Evanonut, I was going to ask you if he ever came back last night

8:02 am

evanonut

several times, but i don't recall when you left mom

8:02 am

Mom

Inner fantasy is good

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Those da words are stoooopid.

8:02 am

evanonut

i think i live for my inner fantasies

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Me too, nut!

8:03 am

Mom

throw in a few curse words Scrabbler, and you could be last nights troll

8:03 am

evanonut

i think i'll ask babbler for a ghostbusters theme

8:04 am

Mom

That would be funny.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

But, Mom, you taught me not to use any bad words, or put up my 3rd finger.

8:04 am

BabbleRabble

So, outer fantasies, the thrill is gone

8:04 am

Mom

well, I am glad to see you have listened to me.

8:04 am

evanonut

i rather thought that if the fantasies were out babble, that they would no longer be fantasy

8:06 am

BabbleRabble

fantasy involves imagination ... in out up down

8:07 am

Mom

Scrabbler, I thought you were going skiing today or is it too early

8:07 am

Scrabbler

de5,18 and the de6 after it?

8:08 am

Scarlet

Why can't snadfan be a word? "I was so overheated, that I used the aardvark's snadfan."

8:08 am

Aloyisius

8:10 am

Mom

Amen, Scrabbler!

8:11 am

Scarlet

Thank you, BR. Like my fantasy life needs another word... LOL

8:11 am

Scarlet

Scrab, don't look in the mirror... that's the way I have dealt with gravity...

8:12 am

Mom

Did anyone talk to grammaterri last night? They say so many are without homes and power after the tornado.

8:12 am

evanonut

gravity can have me, i don't care

8:12 am

BabbleRabble

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Scarlet, I avoid that too---causes a panic attack. "Is that MY body?"

8:12 am

Scarlet

Haven't seen her in awhile, Mom

8:13 am

Scrabbler

The photos of the tornado damage are so sad!

8:13 am

Scarlet

As one wag noted years ago, "I put on a jacket, and my mother's hands came out of the sleeves."

8:13 am

Anniebrook

Grammaterri says she is in the Tampa area, I dont believe that area was involved

featherbee

hi judy

11:57 am

1j2u3d4y

hellow featherbee

11:57 am

featherbee

i heard a clever trick for passwords once. you take a word that you'll remember, like, say, "fish" and then add the title of the site. so for babble, your password could be fishbabble. you could stick a favorite number on there to make it more secure even, 4fishbabble. then ebay would be 4fishebay, etc.

11:58 am

LeslieS

sorry for this but there are 2 "e" boxes

11:58 am

that means that in the one box, you have 3 out of the 4 Es that start there. in the other, you have 1 of the 6 Es.

12:01 pm

prismmgc2

ad 5/20??

12:01 pm

LeslieS

hmmm I feel dumbish

12:01 pm

featherbee

here's another tip from our friend hurshy:

HURSHY'S GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING BOXES
(for those who have stat boxes)

The words in the babble grid are counted towards the FIRST box they could possibly come from, left to right, top to bottom. Sometimes one must think very carefully, when giving clues, about which box a word comes from if there are a lot of the same letter in a grid. (Or about what could come from a later box that CAN'T come from an earlier box when you are FINDING the words.)

12:01 pm

prismmgc2

Leslie: go to licketysplitaus.googlepages.com/babble
clues.html and that will help you

12:02 pm

hetty

and I still don't have the em4--anyone?

Dorens

babble page

12:30 pm

featherbee

if you click on the little help page above the chat box, it will explain point values

12:30 pm

Dorens

madi. we don't name the words in the chatlog, please

12:30 pm

Madi95

good

12:30 pm

LeslieS

yes and then theres one that is 68 but its a much easier word

12:31 pm

featherbee

or i can just do this for you:

SCORING
Each tile has a point value. To determine the score for a word, the point-value for the length of the word is multiplied by the total letter values for the word:

4-letter word = 1 x Points
5-letter word = 2 x Points
6-letter word = 3 x Points
7-letter word = 4 x Points
8-letter word = 5 x Points
9-letter word = 6 x Points

12:31 pm

evanonut

point values on the letters girls

12:31 pm

Dorens

feather is such a sweetie!

12:31 pm

LeslieS

so its the scrabble point system

12:32 pm

LeslieS

letterwise

12:32 pm

featherbee

sort of. it doesn't use the same values as scrabble, but it does rank letters by difficulty.

12:33 pm
