9:27 am

NonnieLight

Good morning, all!

9:28 am

carleekat

ok.... dumb question...lickety's clues say...117 works... and babble says 214

9:28 am

NonnieLight

lickety add isn't working???

9:28 am

Jayde287

Lickety also says there are ak words....

9:28 am

redturtlehead

yesterday was 117, so maybe Lickety is behind??

9:28 am

gwenski

Lickety's page hasn't been updated from yesterday yet.

9:28 am

bbnaz

he hasn't put in his clues yet

9:28 am

Haz1558

Lickety is in bed, he hadn't time to do clues for today. You're on your own until Australia wakes up or until Brandyjack posts.....

9:28 am

bbnaz

most likely due to the downage for him also

9:29 am

bbnaz

You think he would be sleeping Haz?

9:29 am

bbnaz

just kidding

9:29 am

NonnieLight

OK, thanks.

9:29 am

carleekat

ah....ok..thanks for the info haz... <wooden spoon salute>

9:29 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, at ease, carlee.

9:29 am

Scarlet

Babble is on-line... at last! I thought it was in Neverland... what an awful idea.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Yes, he'll be in bed (if he has any wit, that is). Australia wakens later on.

9:30 am

carleekat

hehehe...i found gomer pyle's fav saying..now..I wonder if it really a word

9:30 am

carleekat

it IS a word...how about that

9:30 am

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet - some babble addicts have been finding it hard to cope.

9:30 am

carleekat

I went back to bed..where I SHOULD be now...

9:30 am

Scarlet

Not that I would be included in such a group, Haz. (And, good day to you!)

9:31 am

Haz1558

No, Scarlet, mine is a mild attachment, as you know.

9:31 am

Scarlet

Hello, there, kattie. ARe you feeling better today?

9:32 am

carleekat

not really... but work calls later and I SHOULD be out running a couple errands..and cleaning....and... and..and...but I just woke up

9:32 am

Scarlet

I wonder how many Babblers e-mailed Dr_God?

9:32 am

Scarlet

Yes, of course, Haz. *snickers* Good for you, kat!

9:32 am

Haz1558

Well, his e-mail box exploded so just a few thousand, I think.

9:32 am

carleekat

not me... I saw it was down... caught up on mails...then went to bed

9:33 am

Merk

Do you think there will be a list later from BrandyJack?

9:33 am

Scarlet

LOL, Haz... explosions are usually a clue...

9:33 am

Haz1558

Hello, Merk - I'm not sure, let's hope so.

9:33 am

Scarlet

fleshes

9:34 am

Merk

I was starting to go through withdrawal, so I made my Thanksgiving pies and a salad instead.

9:34 am

Scarlet

Agggggg. *Please don't beat me*

9:34 am

Haz1558

I'm just struggling into my police uniform and look what happens.

9:35 am

carleekat

we are too used to lickey's add...

9:35 am

Flask1

Oooooh Scarlet......who's gonna beat you......tell me and ah'll punch their nose!!

9:35 am

Scarlet

*hanging head very low* Haz, is there some sort of dispensation from the nervous state in which I found myself when Babble was down?

9:35 am

carleekat

just don't fl4,9 her haz

9:35 am

Scarlet

Thanks, Flask... I'm rounding up my possee now....

9:35 am

Fiber Art

I knew I was addicted, but now I know just how bad my condition is!

9:36 am

Haz1558

I'll need a full psychiatric assessment, Scarlet.

9:36 am

Scarlet

That CAN'T be in my favor, Haz.

9:36 am

carleekat

I'm having frun with this f....

9:36 am

NonnieLight

Someone needs to invent a babble patch. I would have put one to good use early this morning.

9:37 am

Flask1

Ah'll vouch for Scarlet...she's as mad as a hatter!!!...lolol

9:37 am

Haz1558

There are two appropriate fl4/9. This grid does not disappoint in the punishment sector.

9:37 am

Scarlet

LOL... great idea, Nonnie... LOL, thanks ? Flask...

9:37 am

Fiber Art

sometimes I have insomnia and Babble is my fix. Last night I just had to go back to bed and try again.

9:37 am

carleekat

well..now come one..anyone who claims to have whosee whatsee locked under her stairs...

9:37 am

Scarlet

I actually would prefer the fl4/9, Haz.

9:38 am

Haz1558

Do you detect a note of cynicism with carlee. I note the use of 'claim'.

9:39 am

Flask1

Did u like my reference Scarlet......????lolol

9:39 am

Scarlet

*Very grateful that the Chief's attention is diverted to kattie's snideness*

9:39 am

bichon

Earlier in the day I tried the grid and it was unavailable. What happened?

9:39 am

Scarlet

Yes I am, Flask... in such dark moments as these, one must take any and all support!

9:39 am

carleekat

ur welcome red...

9:39 am

Scarlet

:-)

9:40 am

FMitch

Sorry Im late was just gathering up blankies and making tea for all those in shock and withdrawal.

9:41 am

Flask1

How thoughtful of you mitch!

9:41 am

NonnieLight

I'm not sure, bichon. I tried it right at midnight and it was down.

9:41 am

Haz1558

9:41 am

9:41 am

Haz1558

Well done FMitch - tea and sympathy is definitely required.

9:41 am

Scarlet

FMitch, I'm in such a state that I "grid-worded" the chat....

9:41 am

carleekat

its about 2 or 3 am there

9:42 am

Haz1558

mkg - babble only came online a few moments ago. Lickety, being Australian is now in bed, therefore not able to update clues. He'll probably do it later on.

9:42 am

FMitch

There there everyone Babble is back and alls well ... hands round plates of cookies, you need something sweet and sugary.

9:49 am

mkg

arb wow.............good life eh? well my son is in nachlaot in jerusalem so guess we will wind up there when we retire not in tel aviv even though i love the beach. we also cant afford the prices in tel aviv. i thought of buying south of tel aviv on beach but well, bat yam isnt so nice i hear and then it becomes industrial i think. anyway we still have to get last child thru colleg before we can save for this.......we have 6 kids and day schools and college have wiped out our money. we should have moved to israel in 74 when we wanted to but we didnt and now only one kid made aliyah. others havent even though oldest kid has an investment property in jeruslam too. but who knows. three other kids talk of moving there...we will always be a torn family over this.

In saying that I do like Licketys list and it is optional after all

11:45 am

Haz1558

so8 - first four letters mirror the structure of the game played by Tiger Woods. Then two letters of the hen lays, followed by a 2nd vowel gives the so7. so8 is the plural.

11:45 am

Haz1558

of what the hen lays (or latin 'for example)

11:46 am

Uniquity

Haz - That clue was fantastic. Thanks!

11:46 am

Depends on your background how strange some words are. For singers, so7 is a common word, using Do-Re-Mi for the notes.

11:49 am

11:49 am

72 Temple Owl

hi gwen! i roomed with a music major, and the so 7 is a class she took

11:50 am

gwenski

My hubby was a music major, and he knows the so7 stuff well, and can drive me crazy with it, at times!

11:50 am

gran

Thanks, but with the late start I will not finish

11:50 am

jan

Temple owl, do you cook your own pumpkin? And if so, do you recommend baking or steaming it?

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

no i am getting a can... i cannot emember ever cooking it, but i think nbaking would be easier

11:51 am

gwenski

Happy pie-baking, TO.

11:52 am

72 Temple Owl

ty, all! *poof*

11:52 am

periwinkle

I am baking a Mrs. Smiths pumpkin custard pie for Thanksgiving. It is the best of the store bought pies, IMHO

11:52 am

gwenski

Canned is much easier. I once (repeat, only once) used a real pumpkin. Didn't let it cook down enough, and ended up with a pie as thick as a thin-crust pizza. Family still makes fun of me for it.

11:53 am

jan

The trick with using real pumpkin is to put it in a fine strainer to thicken it up. Or you can even use a paper coffee filter overnight.

11:54 am

Tinascratch2

bleh, need a nap. bye ya'll - back later

11:54 am

gwenski

And, later I learned that there are differences in pumpkins. The ones you cut for Halloween are not necessarily the ones for baking.

11:54 am

jan

But I am too lazy to make a pie crust--I usually make pumpkin custard instead--baking the pie filling in a buttered casserole dish in a water bath.

11:55 am

jan

Gwenski, you are so right. The jackolantern pumpkins are worthless for eating. Sugar pie pumpkins are good, though. They make a fine ravioli or risotto ingerdient too.

11:55 am

Atalante

how do you makepumpkin custard *finding it hard to imagine*

11:56 am

72 Temple Owl

*peeps in since she has not yet left* sorry, not lurking really, just procrastinating...i have a receipe for pumpkin custard with sherry, i prefer it to pie

11:56 am

periwinkle

I would like to have that recipe TO

11:57 am

72 Temple Owl

i do however draw the line at using canned pumpkin pie filling. it's tooeasy to make it from scratch. i do tend to buy the crust, no patience for pastry anymore

11:57 am

72 Temple Owl

hi, ata! like any other custard, bake it in the oven. saves tons of fat and calories

11:57 am

jan

You can just make up the usual pumpkin pie recipe with an extra egg or two, put it in a well buttered casserole dish, put the dish into a larger pan with boiling water halfway up the side of the casserole, and bake till a knife comes out clean.

11:58 am

72 Temple Owl

sometimes i use the sherry pumpkin recipe to fill a pie shell

11:58 am

jan

You can also substitute light cream for the evaporated milk to make the custard richer.

11:58 am

Atalante

*looks up american custard recipes* our custard is different to your custard!!

11:58 am

gwenski

Well, my lunch time is over. Bye all! Enjoyed the conversations!

11:59 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, the custard recipe has light cream. bye gwen! ata, by custard do you mean what we call pudding, which is a soft custard cream?

11:59 am

nbjasmine

ge7 plz. its my last 7, can't find it

11:59 am

jan

American custard is more like a flan; English custard is more like creme anglais. (My daughter thinks you can't have Christmas pudding without Bird's custard...)

12:00 pm

Atalante

she's utterly right, jan :P

12:00 pm

Atalante

yes, our custard is like runny milk stuff

12:00 pm

jan

Creme anglais is one of the glories of English cuisine.

12:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh....our pudding is like pastry cream, soft textrued, but our custard is indedd firm like flan

12:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have never seen nor had creme anglaise

12:01 pm

Atalante

creme anglaise is just unspeakably wonderful

12:02 pm

It's a medium thick vanilla custard sauce that is fabulous on fresh fruit, any fruit dessert, drizzled over any hot pudding, on the side of any rich chocolate cake, etc. It's what you use to build a trifle, too. Yummmmm.

12:04 pm

Atalante

or you just eat it by itself mmmmmmm

Hi Beth - yes, a maufactured thin sheet of fibre & cement - commonly used for cheap cladding ie outbuildings etc. In olden days often mixed with Asbestos - hence the huge amount of legals claims and general outrage in Australia.

12:54 pm

Judi

Or, you could be like some of us, Pringle. No sleeping, eating, drinking, bodily functions or other interruptions until the puzzle is finished.

12:54 pm

Atalante

you mean, obsession

12:54 pm

KristineNas

The To is a plural of the to 5

Beth - If you are still there, can I highly recommend a book called Romulus My Father

12:55 pm

bethn

12:56 pm

Haz1558

bbnaz - babble was down for a long time and Lickety wasn't able to update the clue page. Patience! or use Brandyjack's list at BabAnon.

12:56 pm

bethn

sorry xxx drugs are kicking in

12:57 pm

Haz1558

And don't forget he does this voluntarily. I wouldn't presume to ring anybody up and demand things at this time.

12:57 pm

bbnaz

i have patience. but was just wondering where he was. I used BJ long before Lickety came along and created Expert.

12:57 pm

Atalante

I love BJ's list

12:57 pm

Haz1558

Wel, there's the explanation.

12:57 pm

lynxxx

1:00 pm

bethn

i will check it out lynxxx , the only other brush i've had with your co. was a tv show mccleods daughters & they sdtopped carrying it mid series not a very wide spectrum of experience

1:00 pm

Haz1558

ly8 is ly7 plus the sometimes vowel on the end

1:01 pm

Haz1558

It's not so difficult to find the bit in between, cool girl, so look a little more closely.

1:01 pm

movieman

Got both the 8s now, ty haz

1:01 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome.

1:02 pm

BabbleRabble

1:03 pm

1:03 pm

lynxxx

yeah yeah bbnaz - sure

1:03 pm

lynxxx

you posed BR !?!

1:03 pm

Haz1558

to5/10 - attracts attention by means of a horn. Add a plural type ending for to7

1:04 pm

Shawnee

It's back, oh thank Dr. God it is back!!! I knew if I stayed away long enough it would be here.

1:04 pm

bichon

ty Haz, that was slick

1:05 pm

ChrissieDee

ty haz - tricky when the first word sound like a plural already

1:05 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, bichon.

1:05 pm

Does anyone else need assistance before I head off ?

1:05 pm

Hi al

periwinkle

*all*

1:05 pm

Haz1558

Hello Shawnee, it's been on again for a while. AND it's a killer grid.

1:05 pm

bbnaz

Big Mama, try Brandy Jack's

1:06 pm

Atalante

that to7 is just like the baases

1:06 pm

periwinkle

thanks Haz for the to7, silly word

1:06 pm

redturtlehead

Kristine, can you help with the ly words, I don't have the seven....

1:06 pm

ChrissieDee

so8 please

1:06 pm

Big MaMa DUBI

what is Brand Jacks?

1:07 pm

Haz1558

so8 - first first letters as with the game (go4/9), start what the hen lays, (two letters) finish with a vowel and then plural

1:07 pm

periwinkle

cannot find the ge7

1:07 pm

KristineNas

The Ly 4,6 that starts it is ly + **a or ocean Now for the 7 Take the first 3 letters of the 4 + hal**** lamp

1:07 pm

LoriP

That was a fun grid. using a printed list, just liek the old days. Backtracked to find the missing word, and as always it was a plural.

1:08 pm

KristineNas

and add the sometimes vowel for the add

1:08 pm

Haz1558

ge7 - plural of ge6 - add a double dose of a vowel to the ending of the lady's counterpart.

1:08 pm

Shawnee

I seem to have caught a sore throat bug in the chat room, had to go to the dr. stocked up on disinfectant though.

1:08 pm

lynxxx

you are earning your money today Haz!

1:08 pm

KristineNas

The Ge 7 is Ge 4,6 + double vowel and plural it for the 8

1:08 pm

bbnaz

click on Babblers Anonymous (below grid) and then it will take you to a link that says General. Click on it and there is link to today's clues just like Lickety

1:08 pm

ChrissieDee

Bummer, Shawnee. Right before Thanksgiving.

1:09 pm

1:12 pm

BabbleRabble

if you get the most of some, you still have to find a little of th rest

1:16 pm

Merk

Wow! I just got back and read your earlier clues ... fantastic.

1:16 pm

jeanne314

to HAZ1559: I don't get this clue: "so8 - first first letters as with the game (go4/9), start what the hen lays, (two letters)" When I try to follow, it seems I need to use the "g" twice...can't figure it out. Got an easier way for a clueless brain???? tks Jeanne

1:17 pm

Haz1558

There's only one g so you can't use it twice. It mirrors the structure of the game, it doesn't mean that the word begins with go!

1:17 pm

redturtlehead

jeanne, substitue an S for the g and you may be set...

1:18 pm

Atalante

its *like* the game. but starts with S instead of G

1:18 pm

KatieMcG

noooooooooooooooooooooo lickety isn't up and running.......that's it i'm going back on holiday!!!!

1:18 pm

jeanne314

right ...knew that much and bounced my head on a rock...now I'll pay better attention!!!! Cheers, J.

1:19 pm

Haz1558

Bouncing heads on rocks isn't a good idea, I don't think....

1:19 pm

Judi

Yeah, the rocks might break.

1:19 pm

Judi

BBL.

1:20 pm

flosey

Hi there Jeanne, I have a niece, married to (former airforceman) he is obstetrician, they have 2 daughters recently married, happen to know them?

1:20 pm

ChrissieDee

poor katie :-(

1:20 pm

KatieMcG

thanks Chrissie ;-)

1:21 pm

Haz1558

No problem.

1:21 pm

flosey

sorry, no, he's pediatrician

1:21 pm

jeanne314

flosey - I dunno; I got out in '97...(this pic is 30 years old -- living in my past!) Where were they stationed?

1:21 pm

garyandjulie

Atalante

1:22 pm

Shawnee

ohh, this is so hard without the list.

1:22 pm

FMitch

Evening all,
So after all the waiting how is the grid, kind and benevolent or does it have a nasty bite?

1:23 pm

garyandjulie

slow fm very slow

1:23 pm

ChrissieDee

it doesn't bite mitch, it sucks!

1:23 pm

redturtlehead

Mitch it seems to be biting, I have 57 left....and they are coming sloooowly

1:23 pm

bbnaz

shawnee -- use Brandy Jack's

1:23 pm

garyandjulie

1:23 pm

lynxxx

Hi FM! kind, with a few tricks

1:23 pm

FMitch

Hmm interesting mixed review there.

1:23 pm

Aloyisius

hi FMitch.... lol, Haz.. just came back to read your earlier clue and I was working from "soccer" as the game instead of the one with the club and the little white ball.. (-: got the word, tyvm

1:24 pm

jeanne314

L on the right is 4/6, methinks...J.

1:24 pm

Wyrd

Hi Tyger

1:25 pm

tygerbryght

When did the grid finally go up?

1:25 pm

Haz1558

Poor Aloy - I should make the clues easier.... No, make everyone suffer....

1:25 pm

garyandjulie

thanks bookwoman for some reason i kept trying it with the h instead

1:25 pm

jeanne314

flosey - never was to those areas...my spots were california, texas, maryland, england, alaska and japan...loved it!

1:25 pm

FMitch

I see Dr God was on earlier and sai that Babble had run out of puzzles. I always thought the end of the world would look somewhat different!

1:25 pm

lilliann

hi all, back for ...loads!! i couldn't believe it wouldn't take tooty earlier g+j, but luckily i wasn't the only one!!

1:25 pm

periwinkle

run out of puzzles?

1:25 pm

bbnaz

what?!?!?! when was he on?

1:26 pm

flosey

ah, don't think he was in any of those

1:26 pm

Aloyisius

Haz, your clues are always terrific... not so with my brain

1:26 pm

bookwomen

yw

1:26 pm

EvaNadine

afternoon babblers!
is THAT what the problem was?!

1:26 pm

jeanne314

bookwomen - that le 4/6 is one my russian friend figured out...rumanian currency/coins...plural thereof

1:26 pm

garyandjulie

does dr god use a generator type program for babble grids?

1:26 pm

KatieMcG

seriously?

1:26 pm

Aloyisius

out of puzzles? gasp

1:26 pm

tygerbryght

are you serious, mitch?

1:26 pm

jeanne314

currency, paper...he just corrected me.

1:26 pm

FMitch

Can't remember bbnaz, I was looking back in the days log

1:26 pm

Atalante

yup!

1:26 pm

lilliann

i've had babble withdrawal symptoms today!!!

1:26 pm

FMitch

Hang on I will find it

1:26 pm

Flask1

Hey baby!!!

1:26 pm

tygerbryght

I'm kinda frustrated. I really depend on Lickety's page. there's no way I can do the grid without it

1:26 pm

Shawnee

I never would have imagined, run out of puzzles. wow, totally wordless

1:27 pm

Haz1558

He mentioned running out of babble and storms and things.

1:27 pm

jeanne314

flosey - the A.F. moves people around alot. I wasn't in the medical field, so unless we got sick, I usually didn't get to meet the medicos.

1:27 pm

KatieMcG

I had to do the holiday washing!! would have just played babble

1:27 pm

Flask1

did u get my wee pressie??....;-)0000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000

1:27 pm

Flask1

Ooops.....sorry about the zeros.....lol

1:27 pm

redturtlehead

running out of babble???

1:27 pm

FMitch

Here you are:Dr_God
Sorry about the big downtime this morning, folks. Babble ran out of puzzles! And there was a storm here that knocked out the power, so I didn't get the "storm" of emails from you guys. :)

1:28 pm

redturtlehead

spooky, to be out of babble.

1:28 pm

tygerbryght

maybe his puzzle generator ran out. programs can do that, and need tweaking

1:29 pm

KatieMcG

at least it doesn't mean there won't be none in the future phew

1:29 pm

lilliann

how can he run out of puzzles!!

1:29 pm

periwinkle

lI really depend on my daily babble fix

1:29 pm

Flask1

lol.....

1:29 pm

FMitch

Now there is that question about addiction again...!

1:30 pm

KatieMcG

I think we all do peri

1:30 pm

garyandjulie

my day is just not complete without babble. Had withdrawel on holiday as no net connection

1:30 pm

periwinkle

it is my only addicition :0)

1:30 pm

mymuseisme

when I couldn't get back on after the flip I emailed lickety coz I didn't have Dr. G's email addy

1:30 pm

garyandjulie

lucky you peri, my addictions are a long list

1:30 pm

Aloyisius

treatment centers would have to open all over the world

1:30 pm

lilliann

hi flaskkkkk,i'm eating my tea at the computor, so i can get a few more...how sad!!

1:31 pm

KatieMcG

I tried as well on holiday but the net connection was just so slow so had to give up

1:31 pm

Flask1

did you get the wee pressie I sent you?

1:31 pm

mymuseisme

then I paced back and forth for an hour hoping it would come up, back again this morning, still no go

1:31 pm

FMitch

LOL poor old Lickety mymuse

1:31 pm

periwinkle

I have really gotten used to lickety's list to, makes finding the words so much easier

1:31 pm

periwinkle

but I do use BJ's list too

1:31 pm

lilliann

I NEED BABBLE.......I WANT BABBLE!!!I@M ADDICTED TO BABBLE!!!AGGGHHH!

1:32 pm

mymuseisme

I know, he's such a sweetheart, I hated to bother him with his being so busy and all, but I was freaking out!!

1:32 pm

KatieMcG

at least lickety knows how important he is to us all :-)

1:32 pm

FMitch

Unfutnately there is not a lot he could have done to help.

1:32 pm

mymuseisme

I know FM, I just asked that he forward my email to Dr.G

1:33 pm

mymuseisme

coz at that point in time I thought it was my logon

1:33 pm

lilliann

no flask.did you send via email, as i just went on it and you were'nt there flask?

1:34 pm

mymuseisme

and Dr. G now knows how important babble is to us all :) LOL

1:34 pm

Flask1

its in the email....have a look please?

1:34 pm

FMitch

Yea, ones starts with logical thought and by the end it the reaction lilliann just displayed LOL

1:34 pm

lilliann

ok

1:34 pm

tygerbryght

I'm literal. I can't do the grid without Lickety's clues, because I won't put words in here unless I know I can finish the grid. and even when he does it later (like that Sunday a few weeks ago), it'll be too late for me. My son is coming over this evening. we're going to work on my computers, and start Turkey Day dinner. Bummer.

1:34 pm

bbnaz

I found his posts FM...thanks for the heads up.

1:35 pm

AprilD

no lickety today???

1:35 pm

FMitch

no, no lickety today.

1:35 pm

lilliann

sorry,can't help it , i'm a very vocal person!!!lol

1:35 pm

tygerbryght

I think the grid was posted after Lickety's bedtime :)

1:35 pm

NonoNanette

tyger have you tried brandyjack's clues

1:36 pm

mymuseisme

okay, so we just have to help one another like always that's all

1:36 pm

Shawnee

well, at least I missed the lil sugary troll earlier

1:36 pm

Haz1558

Anybody care to volunteer to type out what happened today and repeat every ten minutes? The pay is really good.

1:37 pm

KatieMcG

No babble the whole of my day off, no lickety now and a football match to watch in about 20 mins, this is not the homecoming I had longed for!!

1:37 pm

KatieMcG

No babble the whole of my day off, no lickety now and a football match to watch in about 20 mins, this is not the homecoming I had longed for!!

1:37 pm

mymuseisme

I'm diving in, and thanks for the heads up warning Haz :)

1:37 pm

tygerbryght

Brandyjack's clues are helpful, but insufficient. Before I got Babble Expert, I saved the words from Lickety's page to a file, and then typed them in here from the file. Now BE forwards them for me, but I still save them in a text file until I finish

1:37 pm

KatieMcG

sorry withdrawal has left me with a stutter :-)

1:37 pm

Flask1

lol....Haz....;-)

1:37 pm

tygerbryght

Katie, we feel your pain :)

1:38 pm

tygerbryght

wonder what causes that stutter? It's happened to me before

1:38 pm

Atalante

what does lickety give you that BJ doesn't, apart from a prettier site?

1:38 pm

FMitch

Aussie v US accent?

1:38 pm

tygerbryght

the grid, right next to the clues

1:38 pm

Haz1558

It's just quicker, Atalante.

1:38 pm

Shawnee

this day of no babble has prepared me for when I have this baby on the 3rd. How on earth will I survive?

1:39 pm

KatieMcG

I'm going to remember to email Lickety to tell him how much I miss him when he isn't here. I really need to show some appreciation for all the times he is here :-)

1:39 pm

lynxxx

lol FM

1:39 pm

tygerbryght

I used to copy the grid to a .gif and work from that, but I recall just what a pain that was

1:39 pm

mymuseisme

oooh congrats Shawnee, you'll be dreaming letters to recite to the wee one ?

1:39 pm

Haz1558

People, some of have been spoiled. It's a game, it's not a disaster that it hasn't worked today. We'll fight on beaches, we'll fight on landing grounds, blood sweat and tears...

1:39 pm

tygerbryght

Shawnee, you'll survive. Believe it or not, you probably won't even miss Babble or us. :)

1:39 pm

FMitch

Ah this lot don't know they are born I remember when I was a young whippersnapper there were no licketys or BJs, all you had was a ball of sting and a pencil stump. But we were happy
*grin*

1:40 pm

KatieMcG

FM I remember those days - never did get fireworks :-)

1:40 pm

Haz1558

And Lickety would have done the clues (he was around) but BABBLE wasn't there, no clues to give. Lickety couldn't do it.

1:40 pm

tygerbryght

I remember, Mitch. I joined summer of 2005.

1:40 pm

bbnaz

october 05 here

1:40 pm

Uneaixoise

1:40 pm

FMitch

Fire works, eh? luxury!!

1:41 pm

bbnaz

remember the switchover?

1:41 pm

Haz1558

You had string AND a pencil stump? You must have been one of those posh kids.

1:41 pm

tygerbryght

yes, indeed, mitch ;)

1:41 pm

FMitch

The good old days Babble in black and white and took ages to warm up
*tee hee*

1:41 pm

tygerbryght

you could never be CERTAIN you'd gotten all the words

1:41 pm

FMitch

I do bbnaz, and I was SO anti it

1:41 pm

KatieMcG

remember when we all did fireworks for each other in the grid :-)

1:42 pm

periwinkle

FM, pretty kitty in your icon

1:42 pm

Uneaixoise

ah, yes, I remember it well . . .

1:42 pm

tygerbryght

well, I've got other stuff I need to do today anyway. But when I think of how long I lingered this morning, hoping, expecting, etc. for a new grid .........

1:42 pm

Shawnee

I just love the company of fine minds across all the continents, working as one. A day without babble makes all appreciate the origins, eh?

1:43 pm

tygerbryght

ah, yes. that's a very regal kitty, mitch

1:43 pm

Merk

The 8 words are an 'so' and a 'ly' ... is that right?

1:43 pm

FMitch

tthanks peri it's a Norwegian Forest

1:43 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL I can just imagine tomorrow at dinner when everyone says what they're thankful for and I say BABBLE!!

1:43 pm

FMitch

cat is not wooded acerage.

1:43 pm

Haz1558

FMitch nearly had to be worked with when the switchover happened. We just about got her talked down from Parliament buildings.

1:43 pm

mymuseisme

hubby home early :) bbl

1:43 pm

KatieMcG

Right I better go and finish dinner before the football, will be back quickly if it is an awful match!!

1:44 pm

Uneaixoise

later, mymuse :-)

1:44 pm

periwinkle

finally one column gray

1:44 pm

Aloyisius

well, i think we are pretty fortunate to have a relatively straightforward grid today.. not so many weirdo words as some of the grids in the past.. going along rather smartly (-:

1:44 pm

bbnaz

braggart

1:44 pm

FMitch

LOL I did go off on a major strop didn't I!

1:44 pm

mymuseisme

LMBO UNE, I'll add that to my thanks list as well as lickety and bj :)

1:44 pm

tygerbryght

later, muse

1:44 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

1:45 pm

Haz1558

You did. But you calmed down beautifully once the tranquiliser dart took effect.

1:45 pm

tygerbryght

I'll see y'all later. Probably not till Friday. Unless he brings his laptop to plug into my router, I suspect my son will monopolize my time tomorrow.

1:45 pm

FMitch

*glazed grin*

1:45 pm

Haz1558

Thank goodness Atalante is such a crack shot.

1:45 pm

Uneaixoise

bye, tyger :-)

1:45 pm

tygerbryght

I MAY save this grid, just to play with another day

1:46 pm

tygerbryght

bye. Happy Thanksgiving to all observing it. Happy day to the rest of you. :)

3:56 pm

Jellen

I am most cowardly refraining from today's grid--no Lickety, much frustration.

3:56 pm

mymuseisme

thanks nb, you just poked me to check my plurals

3:56 pm

Uniquity

Hm, 69 words without a grid. That is an issue... ***rolls eyes at own poor typing***

3:56 pm

jwr

Thanx Uniq & My -- can't see it on the site, tho. Is it only a Pro thing?

3:56 pm

sprite

thanks Uniquity... you made me laugh out loud here... and my kids are sleeping in the next room, grin.

3:57 pm

Atalante

babble ran out of puzzles

4:14 pm

bbnaz

DrG said he had no puzzles...........but rememdied that until the end of the year.

4:14 pm

sprite

nothing like a bit of withdrawal to put our appreciation of babble and Lickety back in proportion, if it wasn't already :D

4:15 pm

Atalante

And BJ!

4:15 pm

Punster

I'm missing a s5, for the s on the right, any clues would be appreciated.

4:18 pm

Atalante

4:18 pm

sprite

4:23 pm

Atalante

*more hugs anyway*

4:24 pm

sprite

MLFAN, yes, once you are pro you can have a picture and a profile and a handbag and a flag.

4:24 pm

mymuseisme

ML, that gives you the perk to add whatever pics you want, we have a theme based icon if you want to participate, as well as enjoying the stats, which disappear after the trial period

4:24 pm

witchy

I can take it, I have broad shoulders Haz blames me for stealing George from under her stairs so another babble faux pas can be lived with!!

4:24 pm

MLFAN17

congeal isnt connecting letters though?

4:24 pm

inge

those were them. Now I have to cosolidate my two versions and should be fireworking.

4:24 pm

Jellen

Congrats, Inge!!!

4:24 pm

sprite

correct, MLF, only words with connecting letters are valid in this game.

4:25 pm

sprite

wtg Inge!!!

4:25 pm

MLFAN17

so ia m playing on heee for free until a trial period is over?

4:25 pm

mymuseisme

lol ML, we call those phantoms, when we "see" it even tho not connected

4:25 pm

MLFAN17

i do that all the time with these word games mymuse lol

4:25 pm

flosey

I have 1 gl4 and the plural, what am I missing please?

4:26 pm

mymuseisme

ML, you can continue to play for free, but the stats disappear, and you'll have to ask for total # in grid

4:26 pm

sprite

yes, you can do that, ML. You can continue playing for free after that, but without the stats. Or you can decide to go pro whenever you feel like it. It is worth it :)

4:26 pm

inge

weird, the word list wont take them.

4:26 pm

sprite

hey flosey :)

4:26 pm

flosey

hi sprite

4:26 pm

sprite

I usually see at least as many phantoms as valid words.

4:26 pm

4:28 pm

mymuseisme

4:28 pm

bbnaz

4:28 pm

4:30 pm

licketySplitAUS

hey everyone. Sprite - that's very interesting.

4:30 pm

MLF, don't worry. Most of us have practised a while before we could find that many words. Just enjoy each word you find and don't worry about comparing to others.

4:39 pm

sprite

I think Lickety is adjusting his package just now :)

4:39 pm

Fiber Art

How's that, sprite?

dcseain

7:44 pm

featherbee

7:44 pm

pam

hi, krista

7:44 pm

herinfernallady

Feather what are you doing

7:44 pm

FranMag

tim tang is a puzzle site/test, apparently it's more time-consuming than babble, which is why i'm scared to start it.

7:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

fwthe, he's soo cute! how old is he now?

7:44 pm

Krista

I feel so dang lazy right now. Should be doing something.

7:45 pm

Krista

7:45 pm

7:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

Fourteen left and they are ALL Cs. I am afraid

7:47 pm

Jacula

Fran - I've been off to change my icon to the Thursday one (which is 'windmills') and I've also saved timtang to Babble favourites to look at later.

7:47 pm

Krista

Have you ever been to Del Grosso's there?

7:47 pm

FranMag

go sam go!!

7:47 pm

featherbee

not sure what that is krista

7:47 pm

Krista

Hi Nrkii...we need to play scrabulous!

7:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

I think I'm going to work with Lickety's list for a while.

7:47 pm

Krista

It's a small amusement park.

7:48 pm

herinfernallady

HI DC didn't reallise i had said hi

7:48 pm

herinfernallady

Hi to anyone i missed

7:48 pm

featherbee

lakemont park is the big attraction here

7:48 pm

nrkii

krista, sure!

7:48 pm

dcseain

i just got back, trying to puzzle out last fi6 and 4

7:48 pm

Krista

It's a water park on one side of the street and kiddie rides on the other. Very inexpensive and clean. It's similar to lakemont, I think.

7:49 pm

featherbee

my grandma probably knows all about it

7:49 pm

Jacula

I might join facebook later in the week, if my son ever gets this silly, bare new pc back onto Windows XP. I've had a few invites now from Babbles friends and other friends, real life and other sites on net.

7:49 pm

featherbee

hmm...a little boy is slithering around on his bed, trying to peek at me. i knew this was going to be hard for him to fall asleep with me here!

7:49 pm

Krista

i tried to make you a friend on facebook but couldn't for some reason, nrkii..can we still play? That would be cool, jac.

7:49 pm

FranMag

cool jac, we can play scrabble when you join

7:50 pm

nrkii

krista, I just invited you to be a friend... hope that works

7:50 pm

Jacula

I play at Scrabulous (beta, now) but I only play soitaire. I once played against the computer but it used all those silly, not real words.

7:50 pm

Krista

It's the spaghetti sauce Del Grosso's, so they always have good Italian food. Kind of weird at an amusement park, but it's good.

7:50 pm

featherbee

scrabulous works within facebook jac!

7:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

does anyone else think this grid is difficult? i feel i am losing breain power and babbble should stretch it

7:51 pm

FranMag

the interface at facebook is much better and you can log in to the scrabulous app with your current scrabulous log in

7:51 pm

Krista

My kids are always so wound up at hotels.

7:51 pm

renfield

my brain is laying on the chaise lounge and told me to do this myself

7:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

ahoy ren!

7:51 pm

FranMag

i was down to 60 words with nothing over 7 TO, seems hard to me too

7:51 pm

nrkii

TO, I'm finding the end of this grid really hard

7:51 pm

FranMag

hi rennie!!

7:51 pm

featherbee

he's actually being pretty good. he was very wound up at grandma's though! of course after a 5 hour car ride, whaddya want?

7:51 pm

nrkii

the K and C are killing me, where they're placed

7:51 pm

renfield

hey frannie!

7:51 pm

Jacula

Fran - I'll look forward to that. It would be nice to play against an opponent who uses real words, and is 'known', sort of.

7:52 pm

herinfernallady

Feather bribery time.

7:52 pm

featherbee

uh oh fran, she won't like when we play qi or za!

7:52 pm

Angelsong

28 words to go after less than 1 hour of babbling. and hi, all.

7:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i can usually polish off the little ones around the edges, but not this time...ooooh, brb i smell something burning

7:52 pm

dcseain

i've been much enjoying the scrabble games through facebook

7:52 pm

FranMag

yes jac, that's what makes it better, playing with total strangers sucks.

7:52 pm

herinfernallady

Fran hello

7:52 pm

Jacula

Rennie - Hi! How will your body do without your brain, mewonders?

7:52 pm

FranMag

7:52 pm

Krista

Got it, nrkii! We're friends, now. Me too, Seain. Too much! Wanna play me??

7:52 pm

Krista

Hey Ren

dcseain

7:53 pm

dcseain

7:53 pm

7:53 pm
