12:31 am

hi dart

12:32 am

Pinikula

(done yet?) :)

12:32 am

dart001

hi pini...watching hockey now

12:32 am

jillibus

I think I know which one, dart :)

12:35 am

dcseain

quite the learning curve, indeed, pini

12:35 am

dcseain

good evening, jilli

12:35 am

dcseain

and dart

12:35 am

Pinikula

could prove to be interesting though

12:36 am

dcseain

i agree.

12:37 am

dart001

phant oriole

12:37 am

jillibus

hi dc -- nice icon -- I wanted to post the turtle doves (and their reason) for a while -- will get the french hens up later.

12:38 am

dalmatian5

I hate to be dumb but I have seen "phant" before a lot of clues. Could you explain what that means please.

12:38 am

dalmatian5

leah

12:39 am

Pinikula

phant (phantom) is a word in the grid that doesn't quite make the grade of being consecutive...but is visually there ;)

12:39 am

jillibus

dal, it's a phantom word which is almost there

12:39 am

dalmatian5

thank you

12:39 am

Pinikula

like "vowel"...you can "see" it, but it's not valid, because it's not in order

12:40 am

dcseain

avow for me

12:40 am

dalmatian5

so, essential it is like a side bar - not a clue for a word but an interesting note

12:40 am

Pinikula

"leave" for me

12:41 am

sammysmom

dalmatian- i like your icon- that was one of my favorite movies- watched it for the 3rd time just last week

12:41 am

Pinikula

yes, dal ;)

12:41 am

dalmatian5

thanks all - sure glad I was not missing out on a lot of clues I could not figure out - ha ha

12:42 am

Pinikula

sometimes it's a confirmation that you may not be the only one trying to type the same word over and over because you keep seeing it and thinking it's valid....others may confirm their attempts at the same word

12:42 am

dcseain

floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee :D

12:43 am

helensgirlkid

OK, I started with vowel for a phantom, but now, of course, I've got avow, too! Thanks!

12:44 am

dcseain

share and enjoy, helens ;)

12:44 am

helensgirlkid

Besides, I'm going cross-eyed sleepy; better quit for tonight. Good luck, all.

pini, I was on my way back from my son's, where I spent Christmas. He lives on the mainland. I had gone over as a foot passenger on the ferry and he met me and drove me to his place -- about an hour and three quarters. The main ferry ride is an hour and a half. That part was fine.

thx dc

1:00 am

jillibus

Coming back, I didn't know there were two ferries leaving at about the same time, and I got on the wrong one. Two hours later I was in a town far distant from my real destination, so I had to go back to the mainland (another two hours) and get the right ferry (an hour and a half) and then wait an hour and a half for the ferry to Salt Spring where a friend met me and then I had to drive home in the dark and patchy fog. Got here at about 10:15 pm instead of 4 pm.

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

jili... I am still waiting for the other part of the story...

1:00 am

babbz

good night, all. Sweet Dreams.

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

yipes jili; so glad you made it home safely, especially considering the fog

1:01 am

Pinikula

oh no, jilli...definitely a long day! Hope tmw's better!!! (and glad to see you made it home!)

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

are you dead tired, and was your son terribly worried?

1:01 am

dcseain

oh, my jilli, how trying, and i'm sure tiring also

1:02 am

jillibus

so I don't think I'll get anywhere near finishing this tonight!

1:03 am

jillibus

I was glad I had my cell phone with me so I could keep my son up to date, and contact the friend who was to meet me here.

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

in emergencies cell phones are invaluable; so glad you had one available

1:04 am

jillibus

And there was a very nice young man on the ferry who knew the ropes and was very helpful in directing me as to where to go when I got off in the unfamiliar town's terminus.

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

kudos to him!!!

1:05 am

jillibus

I got my cell exactly for emergency use -- never even have it on usually and pay a very low rate for what they call "small talk".

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

so glad you had it jili

1:06 am

Pinikula

definitely dee...and they do come in handy, jilli...and I'm glad to hear the days of the good samaritan have not gone totally away! :)

1:06 am

dcseain

how wonderful of him to help you

1:06 am

dcseain

and good that you had the phone

1:06 am

jillibus

babble is such a comfort and a great way to unwind and settle down!

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

that is for sure

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

so glad you are home, settled in, and babbling

7:59 am

Scrabbler

TY, Owl

7:59 am

JBV

i agree, scrabbler, and the most difficult are the ones we don't use at all in English - the subjunctives, I have a hard time with those

7:59 am

72 Temple Owl

i am trying not to think about it since i am in nj

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Something that might happen

8:03 am

11:43 am

rururocks

the depth of your knowledge of new bands is really impressive TO

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

well i keep up because i help review bands for the festival. but most of all because i just love all music. I'll even listen to some hip hop if i like it. the only music i have some difficulty reviewing for fest is polka! but that is our special little niche.

11:46 am

rururocks

I am okay with hip hop, can't stand rap, and hate polka music

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

some rap is ok - as much as i hate what eminmen stands for i have to laugh at some of his stuff. LOL did you know mastercard made that commerical showing all the old folks looking young while listening to music about me ? ;)

11:49 am

rururocks

we are raising a generation of kids who will need hearing aids in later life from playing that rap crap at 10,000 decibels in their hondas

11:50 am

oodleberry

that's right ruru but the acid/metal didn't help of our era

11:51 am

rururocks

I was a folkie and blues fan.. skipped the heavy metal

11:52 am

oodleberry

my sister loved that stuff when we were growing up and I had told her hundreds of time it is too loud... and she says well if I put it any softer I can't here it... BULL

11:52 am

rururocks

lol

11:53 am

oodleberry

so was I and country fan and didn't really know it

11:53 am

Blaze

the funny part is that loud or soft there truly is nothing to hear because there are no real words....

11:53 am

rururocks

that is because most heavy metal musicians are morons

11:54 am

oodleberry

omg wow ruru I wouldn't go that far but if you think so

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

i love rock. i love follk. i love blues. i love indy rock

12:04 pm

FMitch

BBC iplayer if you can get that TO

12:04 pm

Atalante

that was his voice, I would guess. sounded right

12:04 pm

Atalante

12:06 pm

FMitch

12:06 pm

12:10 pm

Atalante

Narrator: And so it came to pass, on Christmas Day, that the human race did cease to exist. But even then, the Master had no concept of his greater role in events for this was far more than humanity's end. This day was the day upon which the whole of creation would change forever. This was the day the Time Lords returned. For Gallifrey!
Time Lords: For Gallifrey!
Narrator: For victory!
Time Lords: For victory!
Narrator: For the end of time itself!
Time Lords: For the end of time itself!

12:10 pm

lizmac

Thanks for the HA, not a word I know!

12:11 pm

stidmama

oh! I understand the ov 5 from pini and min at 12:07

12:11 pm

hurshy

it made me so sad what he told wilfrid about regenerating, how it feels like dying and a new man goes off and he's dead. as if we werent' sad enough about DT leaving the show, they have to remove any vestige of comfort we could possibly feel.

12:11 pm

Minveryork

An ov5/16 word is ov plus anagram for Olive *** Stidmama

12:11 pm

12:13 pm

the time lords could always reimagine their own existence. it was never really plausible in Dr Who canon for DT to be the last. But hey :)

12:14 pm

helensgirlkid

Good Goin, Liz!

12:14 pm

Gail

I wondered how they they were going to get around the fact that DT was to have been the last one. I love to watch the really old episodes on Netflix.

12:14 pm

hurshy

of course it was a little silly to say that humanity ended when donna and wilf are still left. that's SOMETHING.

12:15 pm

Atalante

we can forgive them that

12:15 pm

Gail

I LOVE Donna, she is such a great companion to the Doctor.

12:16 pm

phandmd

thanks, got it strange word

12:16 pm

hurshy

well, i don't know as it's a matter of forgiving them - i wonder if it is, you know, like a mistake by the time lords - like, they knew there were 2 left but thought they didn't matter, discounting the existence of those 2 humans as insignificant. like maybe they made them be silly on purpose like that to then use it and see how that undercuts the plans.

12:21 pm

stidmama

hello sprite!

12:21 pm

Minveryork

I am dog-sitting & I'd hate to have something bad happen

12:21 pm

oodleberry

yes, black and greens organic chocolate, crumpets, your pudding is superior to ours

12:21 pm

Hello sprite! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log

12:22 pm

stidmama

I suspect the critter will just be very hyperactive for a while, min.

12:22 pm

sprite

hey Minver :)

12:22 pm

Atalante

it'll be fine, min. maybe with a bit of an upset tummy, but fine

12:22 pm

12:22 pm

stidmama

12:23 pm

oodleberry

you know how to prepare it properly... maybe in BC they can but not in the states as in plum pudding

12:23 pm

stidmama

go atalante go! *wondering if chocolate daleks would be a good idea*

12:23 pm

phandmd

Min, the dog should be fine; it is dark chocolate that is bad for dogs and quantity counts too

12:23 pm

Minveryork

She is already way OVER-hyperactive as it is.She's also tiny so I thought it would effect her more.Oh well,we will see!

12:23 pm

oodleberry

2:19 pm

Change of subject: did anyone recruit a new member in response to Dr God's plea? I cannot tell who is new since Dec. 25

2:21 pm

EspritdJean

dr god pleaded for new members?

2:22 pm

inge

well, he sent an email lto all the pros asking us to sponsor , ie. pay for, new promembers for a big event on Christmas day. I did not see anything though

2:24 pm

inge

Esprit, you should have gotten that email/

2:24 pm

Gail

I never go any email, either.

2:25 pm

Gail

That should have said got any email.

2:26 pm

inge

When I asked in the chog, who had gotten it, several said yes. I assumed everybody was offered tht opportunity.

2:28 pm

inge

He could only accept gifts for new pros per paypal. He is working on setting up paying per credit card

2:28 pm

Andree

I recieved said email too

2:29 pm

Nancy Boy

Mmm, there is a tiny speck of Radiohead in the grid today...I might've been listening too long :) hi all

2:30 pm

hi all

2:30 pm

nrkii

I never got that email inge

2:31 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi, Inge :) I don't remember the email either, but then I only check periodically and there's always HUNDREDS. Lots from bars, nightclubs and people I can't remember meeting!

2:31 pm

Andree

hi nancy boy and nrkki

2:32 pm

inge

well, maybe Dr. God did not write to everyone. Seems he could automatically mail via his address book

2:33 pm

nrkii

I'd really have to think carefully about anyone I got a gift subscription to Babble... they could end up hating me for feeding them a new addiction

2:34 pm

nrkii

I did buy 3 gift subscriptions to Quote Puzzler this year

2:34 pm

nrkii

but that's a much smaller time commitment than babble

2:34 pm

Nancy Boy

You'd have to chat to them enough for it to not be misconstrued

2:35 pm

Fellow Pro Babbler-

As always, I would first like to thank all of you who have upgraded to
Pro. Without you, the site couldn't survive. Thanks!

The recession has hit Babble pretty hard, but we're still getting a
trickle of new Pro players every month to keep the Babble family growing.

A few players every year ask me how they can give the gift of Babble Pro
to someone for the holidays, so this year I figured I'd try and create
an easy way to do so.

If you have a PayPal account, simply click the following link. Please
make sure to include the recipient's Babble player name with your
payment, or I won't know who to upgrade. ;)

2:35 pm

inge

OK, here is most of his letter. I am not vrey good at copy and paste, but it gives you an idea what was said

2:36 pm

Nancy Boy

Dug back several thousands but can't find it. *sighs* the price of being OH-so-popular ;)

2:37 pm

Scrabbler

I got that e-mail from Dr God. Anybody want to go pro?

2:38 pm

nrkii

Hey Scrabbs

2:39 pm

Scrabbler

N, TY, TY, again! I was just on the QP site reviewing stuff--new addiction that will make me obsess everyday.

2:40 pm

inge

Dr. God PLart 2
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc
r?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=10697

My plan is to upgrade gift recipients' accounts on Christmas Eve. If
you want me to upgrade your recipient's account at a different time,
just let me know.

For those of you without a PayPal account, I was going to create a way
for you to upgrade another player with a credit card, but I ran out of
time this holiday season. :( Hopefully next year.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Happy Holidays and Happy Babbling!

- Dr_God

nrkii

QP is the first thing I do every day when I log on, and it's the one thing I try very hard not to miss

2:41 pm

nrkii

Christmas Eve, I was on at 1AM finishing my puzzles because I hadn't had a moment all day to do them

2:41 pm

inge

Now you all know what to do. :) :) :)

2:42 pm

Scrabbler

I hit "submit" by accident with 1 puzzle, did not understand 1 puzzle (Top Words, I think) and totally screwed up HoneyGram. Practice, practice.

2:42 pm

nrkii

thanks inge... I don't know anyone who isn't pro, except people who aren't on babble at all...hmmm

2:42 pm

Scrabbler

When does the day begin for QP?

2:42 pm

nrkii

I think QP begins at 2AM, but not sure

2:42 pm

Scrabbler

LOL, HoneyComb

2:43 pm

nrkii

FranMag would know... she's still awake :)

2:43 pm

nrkii

Stidmama, Muse, FranMag, Featherbee, Ciocia Judy, and I think a couple other babblers are all on Quote Puzzler

2:44 pm

inge

what is QP/?

2:44 pm

nrkii

www.quote-puzzler.com

2:44 pm

inge

thanks nrkii

2:44 pm

nrkii

It's a small site that has 10 different word puzzles each day, some are quotations, some are like scrabble

2:44 pm

nrkii

and they're timed

2:44 pm

nrkii

so they go really fast

2:45 pm

Scrabbler

I e-mailed Fran.

2:45 pm

nrkii

It's $10 per year to join, but you earn "stars" every time you do well at a puzzle, and 100 stars gets you an extra day of subscription... I've earned an extra year

2:45 pm

inge

Babble and sudoku keep me pretty satisfied with game work

2:46 pm

nrkii

but I am hoping other people to join to make it more competitive

2:46 pm

Scrabbler

I see that you are a QP Superstar, N, which is no surprise to me. Nice.

2:46 pm

nrkii

yeah, I can't do sudoku any more... the numbers all blend together and it always feels like the same puzzle to me

2:47 pm

nrkii

QP is nice because the puzzles are different every day, and it's a very nice little group of people who play, and the 10 puzzles are each unique in terms of what the type of challenge is

2:47 pm

Scrabbler

I lost interest in Sudoku a long time ago--it just doesn't do it for me anymore

2:47 pm

nrkii

Scrabbler, I fully expect you to start kicking my butt

2:47 pm

Scrabbler

I did well in 1 game--near the top

2:48 pm

nrkii

I saw that! (sorry, I knocked you out of first)

2:49 pm

nrkii

ktartandude and sherb are the other two to look out for

2:49 pm

Scrabbler

With 1 puzzle I "saw" the solution very quickly. But I dove right in after only skimming the instructions--Silly Scrabbler!

2:50 pm

nrkii

the best thing about QP for me is that I can get through all 10 puzzles in 30 minutes, though I will slow down on the last 2 (which are not timed the same way) if I have free time

2:51 pm

Scrabbler

I guess that I will have to set my alarm for 30 min earlier now.

2:51 pm

nrkii

Scrab, In and Out? That one gets confusing, because you have to switch your thinking

2:51 pm

Scrabbler

That one took me forever because I was fully confused

2:52 pm

inge

goota go, BBL maybe

2:52 pm

nrkii

see ya Inge

2:52 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Inge

2:52 pm

nrkii

okay 6 words left and I'm seeing nothing

2:52 pm

Scrabbler

2:55 pm

Scrabbler

BBS--I need lunch. I had a late breakfast then just hiked for 80 min. My blood sugar is plummeting!

3:45 pm

hego

No, then there were giants that I never had time to finish. Phooey!

3:45 pm

BabbleRabble

That is what is so intriguing about babble .... logic is secondary to illogic and caprice to reason.

3:46 pm

hego

Tru, true BR.

3:46 pm

hego

But I still wish I had had a nice fat one today.

3:48 pm

Bugsaw

Not sharp enough BR! Without a meaning for them, I find them hard to remember

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

6:21 pm

Pinikula

hi as (sorry, kinda here, kinda not)

6:22 pm

aslindy

Hi pini, no prob =0

6:22 pm

aslindy

oops, meant that as a smile. =)

6:23 pm

Pinikula

no worries (not that easily offended knowing we all use typonese here!) LOL

6:23 pm

oodleberry

Pini? di dyou have crumpets dancing in your head when you were sleeping christmas eve???

6:23 pm

Pinikula

I wish, oodle!

6:24 pm

oodleberry

it is deserted in here

6:26 pm

aslindy

maybe everyone is traveling home?

6:26 pm

welki

*riiiiicola* testing echo

6:27 pm

welki

just checking in to see if anyone needs a clue or two

6:27 pm

Pinikula

I've been doing the same (sorta, welki)

6:27 pm

aslindy

I have 19 left

6:29 pm

welki

hehehe ... happens when the grids are small

6:29 pm

oodleberry

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicolaaaaaaaaa

6:29 pm

welki

when they're huge (like the other day), the chat flies by so quickly

6:29 pm

welki

well well, oodle heard me all the way back east!

6:30 pm

aslindy

ok, I need a clue... why is my dog grr-ing at me? he doesn't need food or water, and doesn't want out.

6:30 pm

oodleberry

i have very good hearing

6:30 pm

Pinikula

he wants your attention, as...

6:30 pm

oodleberry

play?

6:31 pm

Pinikula

(same as Koda who's sitting here on my leg)

6:31 pm

welki

because he wants you to play ... doesn't want to play second fiddle to a computer

6:32 pm

welki

my goofy guys are sleeping on my feet

6:32 pm

aslindy

I don't have any idea what he wants.... sometimes he is trying to say we didn't put the rest of the food away after dinner, and if we are going to leave it out we can give it to him

6:33 pm

aslindy

not that we have ever done that, but he always asks

6:33 pm

oodleberry

as is your dog wagging his tail? if so yes it is to play...

6:33 pm

Pinikula

never any harm in trying, right as?

6:33 pm

aslindy

oh, wait, my daughter left out the egg salad

6:33 pm

oodleberry

ohhhh

6:34 pm

welki

amazing dog ... mine would be very stealth about discovering unattended food. what unattended food? there was unattended food left out?

6:34 pm

aslindy

well, he can't reach onto the counter, so...

6:34 pm

oodleberry

I didn't see any ... did you???

6:34 pm

welki

(although i was very proud of them today when i found two chocolates, left on the table, still there)

6:35 pm

aslindy

oh, goodness! and chocolate is not good for dogs

6:35 pm

Pinikula

koda doesn't ever seem to mind a bit of chocolate...

6:35 pm

welki

i had a basset hound who once pushed a chair to the counter and pinched a ham (and pork isn't good for dogs either)

6:37 pm

welki

i knew a man who gave his dog a full sized chocolate bar every day and boyhowdy, that dog was trim and in fine shape until the day he died (the dog, that is), at the fine age of 17

6:37 pm

Pinikula

well, koda once found my german chocolate brownie ... he never blinked

6:38 pm

Pinikula

as for leftovers...with koda around there are never any

6:38 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

6:38 pm

Pinikula

hi jes

6:38 pm

welki

same with the bassett .. unwrapped and ate a tin full of gourmet chocolate cookies. expected the worst, had the vet on alert, but nothing happened

6:39 pm

welki

best to err on the side of caution, though. i was very strict about diet with the tropical birds i used to have ... no avocado, no chocolate, etc.

6:39 pm

oodleberry

pini, I am looking for a gluten free crumpet recipe because I have never tasted them... and I was in england for 3 1/2 weeks in 1980

6:40 pm

welki

hi jes!

6:40 pm

oodleberry

how would you described them pini?

6:40 pm

Pinikula

unless he steals it, koda is not allowed people food other than a couple of carrots or peanut butter in the end of his bone

6:40 pm

Pinikula

love crumpets!!!!!!!

6:41 pm

jesdraggon

did your husband recover from the trauma of clipping the dog's nails, welki?

6:41 pm

oodleberry

are they a cross between a pancake and an english muffen?

6:41 pm

Pinikula

crumpets are a cross between an english muffin and sponge cake?

6:41 pm

oodleberry

muffin

6:41 pm

Pinikula

very light

6:41 pm

oodleberry

ohhhhhh

6:41 pm

oodleberry

well I was close eh

6:41 pm

welki

i usually have good results with this website. here's one, oodle: http://www.recipezaar.com/Gluten-Free-
Crumpets-37964

6:42 pm

Pinikula

you're looking for gluten-free?

6:42 pm

oodleberry

yes ma'am

6:42 pm

Pinikula

have never made them...but might consider sometime

6:42 pm

welki

oh jes, no! he's still a little shy ... did the golden's with the dremel tool the other day and did a tiny trim on the border collie with the snips

6:43 pm

jesdraggon

hehe. well, a few times of not cutting the dogs will help his confidence

6:44 pm

jesdraggon

anybody need a christmas cat?

6:44 pm

welki

he's been clipping our dogs' nails for ages and has never had an accident before. he's a farm boy, so used to the icky stuff ... this just unnerved him

6:44 pm

oodleberry

I don't have the gluten free self rising flour... and I doubt they have it here in Timbuktu

6:45 pm

jesdraggon

Safeway sells t, they just charge you equal weight in gold ;)

6:45 pm

oodleberry

never mind I found a recipe

6:46 pm

welki

guess i'd better give supper a thought ... we're winter camping now and even simple dinners turn into a production when the space is limited and things need to be done in stages

6:47 pm

welki

later, all

6:47 pm

jesdraggon

bye, welki

6:48 pm

jesdraggon

7:48 pm

jmcnrick

I tried closing the window and I did go off

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

jmcnrick

we all have "scientific minds"

7:51 pm

Minveryork

As I was babbling today, I was hoping an angel with a ha 4/5 was watching ov 4/7 me to help me. I thought since grid was so small it would be very hard & would hate it.But I lo4/7 today's grid because it was not too bad. I've become such a lo 5/16 of Babble! I like this game more than po 4/5.I re 5/16 in the joy of Babble everyday. Found out today my ro 4/4 in Babbleland is official Babble greeter. Sometimes it's hard for me to find a word and then vo5/16, it appears right in front of me wh5/20 I am not even looking for it!That is my clue paragraph. I will re6/27 my last word when I get fireworks. If you ev4/7 want me to do clue paragraph just let me know.

inge

well done, Minver

7:53 pm

jmcnrick

i just don't want to miss my plane because it takes them so long to frisk everyone

7:53 pm

jmcnrick

they always are doing it more in the DC area

7:53 pm

stidmama

not feeling frisky, jmc? *innocent mama look*

7:54 pm

jmcnrick

no especially since I have a court hearing on Tuesday

7:54 pm

stidmama

okay, I am going to try to blog a little bit... have been strangely idea-less lately! back later to help clue. *mini poof*

7:54 pm

Christine

Oh, thanks ... I thought he was MIA over the holidays.

10:52 pm

autumn moon

Glad you made it home okay, Jill

10:52 pm

becca4jfdlskj

the first number is how many letters and in the word. thats all you need to worry about. the other number is how many points its worth. that gets confusing though.

10:52 pm

jillibus

had to go back to Tsawwassen, autumn, then over to Swartz, then wait and hour and ahalf for the ferry to Salt Spring.

10:52 pm

becca4jfdlskj

but each little section of like.. the el words and whatnot.. are in alphabetical order. but its nice that it tells you the first two letters of the words

10:52 pm

jillibus
