i didn't hear about it - so don't say - but was it surprising when you first heard it or just marketing?

12:43 am

DRBERNABO

hot rumor because somebody put two and two together and made a connection

12:43 am

a babblet is a real word common to babble and uncommon everywhere else

12:44 am

jillibus

ADHD
-- a babblet is an unfamiliar word which shows up frequently, such as inia (the hairy-nosed dolphin) or anoa (the Celebes buffalo) and the Hawaiian goose which is here

12:45 am

chic

mrp, thanx for the email.. did i tell you I can get into Lit now on this 'puter?

4:01 am

ConXshun

4:03 am

Haz1558

Good morning all - big task ahead today.... Douglas, Star Wars couldn't make an impact on me because I've never seen any of the films...

4:03 am

ConXshun

4:04 am

lynxxx

good morning Haz

4:04 am

Atalante

*gasp*

4:04 am

Haz1558

Can someone revive Atalante?

4:05 am

Haz1558

And hope not everyone else is as shocked!

4:05 am

ampersand

I've never seen Star Wars either.

4:05 am

ConXshun

*Sends Luke over to revive her with a kiss*

4:06 am

Haz1558

No Lord of the Rings either (might as well get all the confessions out)

4:06 am

lynxxx

I've seen them but obviously not as excited by them as some !

4:06 am

Douglas

But surely you've read the books, Haz...

4:07 am

Haz1558

No, not even them. Any sort of fantasy leaves me completely cold.....

4:07 am

P.J.

Holy-kabolie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

4:07 am

ARB

Haz, you and I are in the same boat.

4:07 am

JFB

Morning all - I've never watched Star Wars either and never read or seen Harry Potter either!

4:08 am

Haz1558

I am not alone, then. I knew there had to be others.

4:08 am

Atalante

*runs away crying*

4:08 am

P.J.

In todays world a little fantasy is a good thing!!

4:08 am

P.J.

Hi JFB

4:08 am

Douglas

These are truly shocking confessions indeed! What next, things involving giraffes and whipped cream?

4:08 am

ARB

I have to agree Hodag, but I escape in word games.

4:09 am

JFB

How did you Know Douglas? lol

4:09 am

Douglas

It would seem there are two mi9's...

4:09 am

Haz1558

Doulgas! How did you know?

4:09 am

P.J.

word games are good.

4:09 am

Douglas

Lucky guess...

4:10 am

Atalante

many giraffes in northern ireland, are there?

4:10 am

P.J.

You have me a little concerned Douglas! :0

4:10 am

Haz1558

You'd be surprised.

4:12 am

Atalante

there are some giraffes in kent, I know that

4:13 am

Haz1558

And, of course, with our dairy industry, we're famous for whipped cream.

4:14 am

Scarlet

Good morning all. Haz, to the penalty box! :-)

4:14 am

ARB

Haz, you'll get a reputation.

4:14 am

lynxxx

oops Haz

4:14 am

JFB

Clotted cream doesn't work so well but it tastes better!!

4:14 am

Haz1558

So, I see, but Douglas mentioned the dairy product first, so by rights he should join me.

4:15 am

Douglas

Joining Haz in penalty box...you too JFB...it's getting a little crowded in ****

4:15 am

Haz1558

Suggesting we're overweight, Douglas?

4:15 am

ARB

He already Has a reputation!

4:15 am

ConXshun

but without giraffes or the dairy products... please!

4:15 am

Scarlet

Oooh. Then you'll have company with JFB and Douglas!

4:16 am

Douglas

No Haz, there usually isn't three in the penalty box at one time...

4:16 am

JFB

Cosy!!

4:16 am

Scarlet

Three's company...

4:17 am

Haz1558

I don't know, Douglas, sometimes, depending on what's on offerto eat, I've seen crowd control police having to be brought in.

4:17 am

Scarlet

LOL

4:17 am

Douglas

That reminds me...brb as I get some carrots and hummus...

4:18 am

Haz1558

Well, that'll clear the penalty box for sure...

4:18 am

Haz1558

Or wait, is that for the giraffes? They like acacia leaves.

4:19 am

Douglas

There's a restaurant here in town called Felafel King...I like their hummus better than the national brands...more garlic...

4:20 am

ARB

Would you like the recipe for making it at home? Very easy with a can of garbanzo beans

4:20 am

Haz1558

Then, that's the end of it for you and me, Douglas. I loathe garlic...... it should be sold as a contraceptive.

4:20 am

Douglas

That would be nice ARB...

4:21 am

JFB

I've never heard of garbanza beans. do they have another name?

4:22 am

sprite

6:18 am

Scrabbler

See, mousey, a mother and a pediatrician are giving you advice. We are worried about you because we care!

6:18 am

kangabrat

i think also because i'm bossy, scrabbler. but don't tell anyone.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Aren't all mothers bossy, kanga? LOL

6:19 am

kangabrat

only effective ones, scrabbler!

6:20 am

sprite

so totally true :)

6:20 am

Scrabbler

You are right, I see lots of wimpy parents that allow their kids to be in charge--it makes me angry and sad.

6:20 am

kangabrat

i sense a lot of effective mothers here. :)

6:22 am

kangabrat

mind you, don't know how long i can keep the upper hand with my youngest. a firey little handful, that one.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

I am having fun with this grid despite its size--but I am slowing down now after finding 115 words rather quickly

6:22 am

Anne38

your right kanga my kids are grown up now but a little disapline goes a long way so good on you mumsxxxxxxxxx

6:22 am

sprite

recently had a kid over to play here with parents like that. Took me about 10 minutes to decide to tell him exactly where the boundaries are in MY house. He rebelled, then relaxed and started playing. He hugged me when he left. I am pretty sure that was because he felt safe, knowing where the boundaries are.

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Be tough, kanga, don't reveal any weakness!

6:23 am

kangabrat

lucky she's adorable with it!

6:23 am

Anne38

excuse the spelling

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, sprite--that kid appreciated your discipline

6:24 am

kangabrat

Must be off for a bit, my son needs lunch!

7:39 am

ADHDWordLover

7:40 am

LoriP

Southwest Nova Scotia, we often get NE weather fronts.

7:40 am

EvaNadine

ADHDWordLover

7:43 am

Anniebrook

hello fellow babblers

7:43 am

ADHDWordLover

EvaNadine

ADHDWordLover

i've not met anyone yet who knows where it is. i took the train into Carolton, which is less than 15 min. from Lothian

7:45 am

LoriP

We used to visit various relatives in NE every fall. I miss those trips. Would like to make it down there again, some time soon.

7:46 am

EvaNadine

yeah, new carrollton is a fairly central station. lothian is a fairly small town, right?

7:48 am

LoriP

Is this grid laden with weird words, or is it just the various suffix meltdowns that will frustrate me?

7:50 am

8:14 am

Mom

Thanks Haz, for the mi clues. Found the first one off to hunt for the other 2.

8:14 am

Haz1558

No such thing as a clue thief if they're freely offered. You're a clue-taking opportunity operative.

8:26 am

CubsChick

all the time babs

8:26 am

Anniebrook

count me in, babs

8:26 am

Haz1558

Sometimes it's good to take a break and come back to it - only problem with one this size is that you forget what you've already entered!

8:26 am

Babs1

that''s usually when I quit and get on with life

8:27 am

LoriP

On a grid like this, I always wander in and out. Imperative to my mental health.....

8:28 am

Haz1558

Not to mention the spreading rear end.... (mine)

8:28 am

Atalante

*flops back in* tired me, tired hobbit

8:28 am

Hello tired Atalante.

8:28 am

Anniebrook

hi atalante

8:29 am

Atalante

long walk, gorgeously long walk, but hot and long!

8:29 am

Vicuna

Hello, Ata.

8:29 am

swa20

hey ata

8:29 am

LoriP

G'd morning Atlante

8:29 am

Atalante

vi! hi!

8:30 am

Vicuna

Hot sounds kind of nice, actually!

8:31 am

swa20

wish it was hot here!!! its well sunny but cold! darn english weather

8:32 am

EvaNadine

was gorgeously hot here yesterday -- 80 degrees F!
but supposed to plummet down to the 40s for this weekend.
*UGH*

8:33 am

swa20

80! oh my life ur so lucky!

8:33 am

Atalante

blooming hot down here in Kent! wore t-shirt and shorts to take pup out!

8:33 am

CubsChick

we hit 75 - paradise! but we're expecting snow this weekend. so sad.

8:34 am

Vicuna

April may be the cruellest month, but March is pretty mean, too.

8:34 am

swa20

seriously! ah ata! im in surrey. theres sun but no heat. well a bit but only if ur in the direct sunlight!

8:35 am

Babs1

so do most of you who get stuck resort to lists, dictionaries, etc?

8:35 am

Atalante

we're always (nearly always) a few degrees hotter down here than anywhere nearby! dunno why!

8:36 am

Haz1558

Babs - I use Lickety's List once I've done all I can on my own, and then use morewords.com for the rest.

8:37 am

EvaNadine

our winter has been nutty -- we were still hitting 70 in january, then it plummetted down and we were getting snow in the strangest places....hot-cold-hot-cold...
im not a fan of winter, but i wish it would just pick a season!

8:37 am

CubsChick

babs - i rely on licket's & the clues of the fellow babblers.

8:37 am

swa20

how does morewords.com help haz? never tried that one

8:37 am

Babs1

I've done that...but not as much fun...I don't get how some are able to get through huge grids without that kind of help!

8:38 am

Vicuna

Yeah, we had the same wierd weather - much too hot in January, much too cold in February. I worry about the plants.

8:38 am

Haz1558

You basically type in as many of the letters as you know, leave gaps for the rest and it brings up lists of words. I did a languages degree so lists of words don't bother me....

8:38 am

swa20

ahhh, sounds good

8:39 am

Haz1558

But everyone has their own way of doing the grid - lots just ask for clues for the missing ones.

8:39 am

Babs1

whew! anyone see the 9/11 confession news?

8:39 am

swa20

yeah im all lickety and other clues

CubsChick

Vicuna

Well, Ata, you look like someone who would turn into Darth Vader. Isn't that reason enough for suspicion?

8:44 am

Atalante

Darth Vader rocks! He could banish all re words from all grids!

8:44 am

ursh

hurshy

hehe

8:45 am

CubsChick

nono- lickety's is in the links at the bottom of the page.

8:45 am

Vicuna

But he wouldn't. He'd make them ALL re words, just to torment us.

8:45 am

Atalante

not if we all pretended to *love* re words

8:45 am

NonoNanette

thanks Cubs

8:46 am

pabtrek

8:46 am

ExWren

8:46 am

Atalante

hmmmmm true *considers*

8:46 am

Vicuna

"Please, Brer Vader, please don't throw us in the re patch!"

8:46 am

ExWren

8:46 am

Haz1558

cr6/24 - a line in the trousers pronounced Humphrey Bogart style.

8:46 am

Atalante

he'd banish re's if the Emperor told him to ...

8:47 am

Dispatch

hi ursh, cr + double vowel + quiet

8:47 am

Haz1558

Or cr plus a double helping of a vowel, then the beginning of not he but ***.

8:47 am

Atalante

*whispers* whats humphrey bogart style?

8:47 am

Vicuna

The Emperor is stupid.

8:47 am

Anniebrook

1:19 pm

LoriP

Just a little jumpstart for the brain. Been there, done that.....

1:19 pm

Vicuna

Ata, using the double consonant will get you 4 of them.

1:20 pm

LoriP

in = an old fashioned place to stay

1:20 pm

stidmama

okay, I made an executive decision. I have two chapters left to listen to in Treasure Island (AARRGH) and I can keep babbling while I do that.

Hey, Aloy

1:38 pm

Atalante

stid, do you want to send hurshy your wonderful trading cards email?

1:38 pm

hurshy

you will all be like, wow, hurshy sucks, but at least i will get to play.

1:38 pm

flosey

nan, do you have the in6 - off your rocker?

1:38 pm

cybernan

sorry to hear that , hurshy -- if you want to vent, we will sympathize :)

1:38 pm

cybernan

no -- thanks, flosey

1:38 pm

stidmama

hurshy, it will be fun to have you aboard! :-)

1:38 pm

Aloyisius

hi Charm! are you having fun with this grid? I'm very slow today, another babble-interruptus day, lol

1:38 pm

Vicuna

No safe way. We did it unsafely. I weighed the possibility that stidmama was really a psycho killer one town over from me, and I decided to chance it.

1:39 pm

Vicuna

Yay, hurshy's playing!

1:39 pm

hurshy

well yes but i meant like you didn't post them on line, lol

1:39 pm

cybernan

wish they were all that easy, flosey!

1:39 pm

Atalante

stidmama? you're really a psycho killer/

1:39 pm

Charm

B. interruptus? LOL.
Doing well. It's raining, so a good babble day - no guilt for not doing something else.

1:39 pm

hurshy

so wait, they can be any kind of art at all, as long as they are 2.5 x 3.5?

1:39 pm

Atalante

hurshy, the idea of trading cards is not to produce marvellous works of art. its to have fun making something for friends.

1:40 pm

stidmama

oh yes Atalante! did I forget to mention that? *cue psycho music*

1:40 pm

Aloyisius

oh, i REALLY wish it would rain here... drought conditions, not good..

1:40 pm

flosey

lol nan, there are some really tough ones today

1:40 pm

hurshy

well i can probably manage that :)

1:40 pm

Vicuna

Anything anything!

1:40 pm

stidmama

excatly hurshy! photos, collages, crayon...

1:40 pm

Charm

rain also means humidity. which mean .... frizz nightmares.

1:41 pm

hurshy

are they supposed to be on card stock?

1:41 pm

stidmama

and I very promise that my icon is a good clue to the level of art I am capable of producing... pretty and insipid often describe me!

1:41 pm

stidmama

no -- some are made of cardboard and some of the Fimo -type clay, and some of just paper. It's up to you.

1:41 pm

Atalante

on whatever really, anything goes as long as its the right size in the end!

1:42 pm

hurshy

wowee, this does sound fun

1:42 pm

Vicuna

I think the world can always use more pretty, and insipid is often the snob's way of denigrating what other people like.

1:42 pm

LoriP

Okay, back to dive into the se's, then I'll have tamed this beast!

1:42 pm

stidmama

go Lori go!

1:42 pm
