Bye Mi. Joe - page & divis now -- nearly everywhere in the city living or working for abt 30 yrs. If I know the place you mean, I tried it awhile back when I still had taste buds. Probably really good for USA, esp. since South indian is not that readily found, but not the Real real thing. Fremont has a large community - meaning to try there.

We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

excellent question, carlee. it's in the news here, but mostly we sit back and wait for at least 25% of the states to have their primaries/caucauses before we make much of it.
5:40 am
dcseain
cause, well, there'se only so much one can learn from Iowa and New Hampshire.
5:41 am
carleekat
u know...the on ly guy down there that I like....( as a canadian viewing US politics)... is richardson
5:41 am
carleekat
I like hillary..but the idea of having bush/ clinton in office for 24 years..is just too scary
5:42 am
herinfernallady
Carlee oh my gods i never thought of that
5:42 am
herinfernallady
Carlee oh my gods i never thought of that
5:42 am
carleekat
and I like obama..but the m ess down there...if he does not clean it up perfectly... then the race card will always historically be thrown down ( goes for hillary too )
5:42 am
dcseain
excellent point that last one, carlee.
5:43 am
carleekat
edwards I think is too decent a guy
5:43 am

see scared me so much i hiccuped
5:43 am

but with a wife dying of cancer
5:43 am

and i'd not thought about the bush/clinton thing. though we survived 16 of 20 years with Adamses in the office 2 centuries ago.
5:43 am

richardson would be so cool..he excellent in international relations..and knows how to deal with border issues
5:43 am

It will warm up when the sun makes its full appearance. And, Lil, get to the dentist before it is really bad and an emergency!

Congrats Carlee, and Pink, go to the dentist. Yiou gotta set a good, non-frightened example for little Pink!
6:49 am
KatieMcG
Little pink definately has to go so whe has nice teeth when she grows up :-)
6:50 am
pinkhatlil
i know Uni, i will go cos im in a lot of pain myself! lil pink will never know that i have a fear of dentists, she goes already!
6:51 am
Uniquity
I think you'll be surprised what she'll pick up...my mum is not afraid of dentists, but had to go a lot when i was little. as i grew up, i became terrified of them even with my mother being a strong influence of them being good.
6:54 am
pinkhatlil
i wasn't scared of them growing up, but what really put me off them, was hearing this big man screaming his head off as the dentist drilled his teeth. I was genuinely freaked out!
6:54 am
Uniquity
Ay! That is why dental rooms should be soundproofed. The waiting is traumatizing, not what they do to you!
6:54 am
KatieMcG
I just don't like the pain, noise and smell, however as I've got older I don't like the cost either :-(
6:55 am
pinkhatlil
do you pay for your treatment katie? i thought it was free?
6:56 am
Uniquity
The cost is ridiculous. Two small fillings and a checkup cost the same as my two pair of brand new high precription AND thinned glasses.
6:57 am
johnnyrocket
hello everyone.. this one is difficult today
6:57 am
KatieMcG
No it costs quite a bit if you do not get NHS treatment, it's still quite expensive even if you get NHS but have to pay.
6:57 am
KatieMcG
It should be about £180 for the two wisdom teeth to be removed.
6:58 am
pinkhatlil
oh, wow...shows you how often i go to the dentist lol
6:58 am
pinkhatlil
hi johnnyr

*returns from thermostat smacking bearing cocoa for all
7:01 am
Uniquity
Wow! I wish! Here, it is over 100 bucks for a tooth to be removed but you pay about twice as much at least to get a wisdom tooth out. I likely need all mine out and will result in over 1000. Thus, I don't do it. University doesn't lend itself to big spending
7:10 am
Uniquity
Sorry, I killed the chat :(
7:12 am
metaleather
you? nah, I thought it was me and the cocoa
7:12 am
metaleather
guess everyone's just eyeball deep in the grid
7:14 am
Uniquity
Mm, cocoa!
7:14 am
metaleather
chocolate hazelnut to be precise
7:15 am
Uniquity
I am not big on hazelnut, but I might make myself a cup of hot chocolate in a minute..
7:16 am
metaleather
I have amaretto too and white chocolate almond and chocolate mocha
7:16 am
KatieMcG
Sorry lost attention again!! I have two meetings this afternoon, must remember not to make any major decisions :-)
7:16 am
Uniquity
I guess you have quite the selection! A connosieur? Man, I can NOT spell that word.
7:17 am
Uniquity
connoisseur is what I meant
7:17 am
metaleather
ya got close enough even if it isn't right
7:18 am
Uniquity
The silliest words are immensely difficult to spell sometimes
7:18 am
metaleather
indeed they are
7:18 am
metaleather
alright, time for Lickety... I made it to at least half way and have at least one word from every usable box on the grid
7:19 am
Uniquity
I am trying for halfway...closest I will have got without a list so far, but I don't see it happening!

Hey you've done well metal. I have ground to a halt on 99 words and still have 5 boxes with no words off :-)
7:21 am
metaleather
I got stuck at about eighty five words and had to get up for a change of scene. when I came back, the words were difficult, but some have been findable.
7:22 am
johnnyrocket
can someone explain to be about the points. For instance. Am5, 14... how do you get the 14?
7:22 am
Uniquity
I am only at 68...have decided to work box by box. I am not used to stat tiles, yet.
7:22 am
metaleather
most of mine so far are the short ones... only have 1 7 and 10 of the 33 6's
7:22 am
fustuche
so what is the deal? how do the letters need to be connected in order for a word to count?
7:22 am
Uniquity
Johnny, 5 represents number of letters in word and 14 represents total point value of all letters. Because it is a five letter word, you add up all tiles then multiply that number by 2. For a 6 letter word, it would e point toal multiplied by 3 and so on.
7:23 am
johnnyrocket
okay.. I got ya! Thanks uni
7:23 am
KatieMcG
Could I have a clue for the i on the top row. It is now the only box I don't have a word for!!
7:23 am
Uniquity
Metal...I have almost all 4s, 3 6s, no 7s! I always need list to guide me to biggies
7:25 am
metaleather
katie... think a 5 letter word for shy.... then take off the beginning consonant for one word, then make it plural for another
7:25 am
fustuche
could anybody help me out, please?
7:25 am
metaleather
what help do you need fustuche?
7:26 am
Uniquity
fut - each letter in the word needs to have contact with the next letter via tiles. Can be side by side, up/down and diagonally.
7:26 am
fustuche
well, i was trying to figure out...oh, thanks uniquity - you answered my question. thanks, metal, too.
7:26 am
Uniquity
If you have jsut started, I suggest you read the help section (above chat) and angelsongs babble page (below grid in friends of babble box). Each of these contains information to start you off.
7:27 am
Uniquity
Oh, and you can't use the same tile more than once in the same word.
7:27 am
fustuche
oh ok, i'll get to reading. thanks.
7:27 am
metaleather
same letter yes, same exact tile no
7:28 am
fustuche
sorry, wrong box
7:29 am
metaleather
'salright fust... it happens to all of us at one time or another
7:30 am
fustuche
aw, this is giving me a headache and anger from very early in the morning! :)
7:30 am
Uniquity
If you need any other explanations, shout out! Someone always answers eventually, just many have been here so long or so little that they have forgotten or don't know how to restart
7:31 am
Uniquity
It's quite similar to boggle, gridwise. At least, the way I always played boggle. If you are frustrated, there is also "lickety's babble clues" below the grid in friends of babble box. That shows you how many words start with which letters, which will nudge you on the way!
7:31 am
fustuche
excellent...thanks, very helpful
7:32 am
metaleather
ahh nuts, I realized I can't go to Lickety's yet... no word from the bottom left S
7:32 am
Uniquity

8:21 am
musicmom
not that cold Montreal. My husband and I did a mission trip to Manitulin (sp) Island about 13 years ago. I wanted to stay but he wasn't so keen on the idea
8:22 am
Vicuna
With a c-section she has a lot longer before she'll be leaving the hospital. Your niece could go 4 or 5 days without a name!
8:22 am
musicmom
9 F was pretty cold for here this morning. We sometimes get negative temps but not often.
8:22 am
montreal13
Manitulin hummm ... will have to look it up ... --- 120 down, 115 to go - time for break - happy babbling all "POOF"

Trouble? Me? Getting into trouble?
9:10 am
Vicuna
I know, I know, it was a crazy thought.
9:10 am
Haz1558
I'm still trying to come to terms with the concept.
9:11 am
Haz1558
It would mean I would have to do something wrong, wouldn't it?
9:13 am
Haz1558
I'll ponder that while I take daughter to hairdresser. Back soon - unless I ram-raid a shop along the way.

Hello, harp! Can you do any tricks?
9:33 am
hurshy
i can produce mayhem this evening if you like.
9:33 am
Vicuna
Hmmm... Let me look at my selection of words and see whether any seem inspiring...
9:34 am
Vicuna
Alas, I always try to finish before dinner these days, so your kind mayhem would not benefit me.
9:35 am
Vicuna
I can give you a clue poem:
9:35 am

9:50 am
hurshy
lol vi - put a blank icon up for de6/24
9:50 am
Vicuna
But Corinthian would certainly be a proper noun, so I suppose Doric may be, too.
9:52 am
Vicuna
de6/24, eh? looking...
9:52 am
Vicuna
ahh, very good!
9:53 am
Vicuna
I probably already have an e5 icon floating around somewhere, but that isn't so exciting...

morning Annie and Haz
10:17 am
Haz1558
But do you want to hear how I got another driver into trouble? He got himself into trouble but I witnessed it.
10:17 am
Anniebrook
hi flosey!
10:17 am
Anniebrook
Please tell us, Hazel!
10:18 am
cheeky
here is my phantom word of the day .... chloride
10:19 am
armygrl75
hi everyone!!!
10:19 am
Haz1558
Well, in the manner of a police report..... I was proceeding along a dual carriageway (two laned highway) and in the process of accelerating to pass a lorry (truck), when I noticed a blue car behind me. This blue car driving man was impatient. He decided not to wait for me to finish passing the lorry, he moved into the inside lane, swerved in front of me and passed the lorry.
10:19 am
flosey
hi armygrl
10:20 am
Deeha
undertaking how dare he!!
10:20 am
Haz1558
I flashed my lights at him but sweeter yet was the sight of blue lights flashing behind me. I passed the lorry, and was then overtaken by a police car. It pursued the blue car man, brought him to a standstill and I whizzed past. Justice was sweet and swift.
10:21 am
Deeha
as the kids say - well wicked Haz!!!
10:21 am
flosey
wow Haz, sounds like some Toronto drivers
10:21 am
Haz1558
It cheered me up no end, I can tell you.
10:21 am
flosey
indeed, sure feels good to see them get caught
10:22 am
Deeha
Wil we see it on Road Wars soon!!
10:22 am
Anniebrook
the blue car man will get his just deserts! Am I using the correct desert?
10:22 am
Anniebrook
That would make me feel very, very good. Yay for Haz!
10:22 am
Haz1558
I think so, Annie, coming from what he deserves?
10:24 am
Anniebrook
Yes, that makes sense. You are our Chief and you illustrated the correct on the highway as you should!
10:24 am
Haz1558
So, the moral of the story is, if you're going to do something stupid, check your mirrors beforehand. And then DON'T DO IT.
10:24 am
Anniebrook
*correct way
10:25 am
Anniebrook
or dont get caught! BUT that is cheating!
10:25 am
Haz1558
Anyway, apologies for interrupting the chat - I must scroll back to see what I've missed.
10:25 am
BabbleRabble
there is only a moral to the story if you get caught
10:26 am
Haz1558
I'm glad he got caught. Was that immoral of me?
10:26 am
Aloyisius
hip hip hooray for sweet revenge! Logged on just in time to read your story, Haz.. yay.. (-:

10:43 am
Aloyisius

10:44 am
Haz1558
Glad it worked, Aloy and it's pluralled as well.
10:44 am
Scrabbler
Ty, Hazel
10:44 am
Anniebrook
re 6 is a polish dance, never would have seen that without the clues, thanks all, not using the list
10:44 am
Aloyisius
the one before has the rodent in it, so you must need am4.6 with a different vowel, two versions actually
10:45 am
Scrabbler
New word for me--I never would have tried that ending
10:45 am
flosey
thanks Luc and Haz
10:45 am
Aloyisius
ooh, missed the plural.. double thanks!
10:45 am
Haz1558
No problem!
10:45 am
flosey
strange word!
10:45 am
Aloyisius
what I meant was am4.6 + two different vowel endings
10:46 am
Aloyisius
then you can extend the last am5.14 with the "alcohOL" ending..
10:46 am
flosey
ra7 please?
10:47 am
Haz1558
My icon is ra7, flosey.
10:47 am

6 months is a great age. Old enough for you to know what they want, not old enough for them to move too far.
11:03 am

I expect DT's are susceptible to dts

i'm not sure sandburg is correct, however. when referring to Jesus, the Bible states that he was not born of a husband's will and whatnot, but by God. which sort of implies that God is letting people go ahead and have kids by their will. and presumably when the world ends, there will still have been babies born up til that time.
11:04 am
hurshy
so i think a baby is just a baby, and a cigar is just a cigar, and that's why people smoke cigars to celebrate a new baby.
11:05 am

But not in the vicinity of the baby, hopefully.

11:14 am
Aloyisius
the last am5.14 is a plural of the first am4.6, subject of many clues, lol
11:14 am
Haz1558
The second series of am5/14 - puts two different vowels on the end of the afore-mentioned and oft clued am4/6
11:15 am
Haz1558
And then plurals it for good measure.
11:15 am
