3:27 am

Vertigus

erm, why 2 entries? weird...

3:27 am

Haz1558

The dictionary is called ENABLE - perhaps you can google it?

3:28 am

lynxxx

and Babble is sensitive to touch, hence the double entry

3:28 am

lynxxx

Hello Haz and all

3:28 am

Vertigus

Thanks, I tried but the only site that looks remotely like it could be the one looks a bit dodgy, hehe

3:29 am

Haz1558

Do remember, it's just a game, no point in raging against a dictionary because it doesn't care.

3:29 am

Haz1558

Good evening, lynxx, morning to this side of the world.

I'm glad, Vertigus, although we all understand the frustrations.

3:33 am

Vertigus

To be honest, I'm a computer programmer, and I suddenly got curious as to what algorithm can actually solve this game. I want to try to write one in C# as a mental exercise, but of course I need a dictionary for that to work.

3:34 am

Haz1558

Your best bet would be to write to Dr-God to find out exactly which version he uses. It's not the most up-to-date one.

3:46 am

Yvo

1 month

3:47 am

Yvo

been here a week and had to heat on

3:47 am

Haz1558

ruby, try using the square technique. Find four likely letters in a square and see how many words you can get from it. Also there are quite a few palindromes in this grid, so you get two words for the price of one.

3:47 am

Haz1558

I do hope it improves, Yvo, It's still warmer than Chicago I take it?

3:47 am

rubyfoo

ty haz, I'll look for them

rubyfoo please have fun with it i encouraged you in the beginning ,it reall will come easier soon

Good letter squares - s a e r. s r e e.

I love it, don't mistake that, but it's much harder for me than lexuloous blitz

This is one of those grids where there are nice sequences and words within words. Just relax and let your eyes wander.

I worked on reception at a m inor injuries at the local hospital A man came in because the boot lid(tailgate!!) had hit him on the head. They checked him over and sent him off with a leaflet about head injuries. About an hour later I saw him coming back across the road with his wife. I thopught he had got a new symptom. No - the bootlid had come down again and hit his WIFE on the head!! Time to get a new car I'd say!!

one of my students told me about when she went to visit Auschwitz, and it was bitter, bitter cold, and she was so distracted. she was chastising herself for complaining of the cold, and feeling like she should be understanding where she was, etc, but at the same time, she was really frigging COLD and it was painful, and she was hating it....

7:28 am

Trifioso

oh, hey -- primo was nominated by his school to participate in an all-state art thing, very prestigious, blah blah, he is a finalist but won't know for a few months if he has been chosen....point is, the recommendation that the teacher wrote about him nigh on made me weepy - I am going to make a copy of it to read on days when Primo is making me nutters.

7:29 am

hego

Ok, ok, I made a mistake oods.

7:29 am

crosshair

i really do not know why i even start these monster grids;/

7:30 am

hego

So generous of you Oodle

7:30 am

Trifioso

I know, right? It's always so interesting to hear someone else describe your child - it always give me such good insights in to who they are

7:31 am

oodleberry

:-)

7:31 am

hego

My reaction ws always, who?

7:31 am

crosshair

i once made a mistake oodles....i thought i was wrong,but i was not;))

7:31 am

Atalante

Trifioso

yes, hego, I understand that.

7:31 am

oodleberry

It's nice to know others see them this way, though.

7:32 am

Trifioso

oops - my babble time is up for this morning, and duty calls. take care on this cold, cold day everyone, and, if you get a second, do say a prayer for those who are homeless, or are working with the homeless today. thanks!

7:32 am

crosshair

like hell it does triff,everyone else describes my boy as an angel,a perfect child,helping others..i really know he is a deamon spawn ascended from the seventh circle of hell;/

7:32 am

mom2han8

LOL Hego... and that's great Trif! I agree that it is often enlightening to hear others describe one's child.

7:33 am

mom2han8

LOL Crossy... that is how I feel when my kid is described as helpful and "a joy"....

7:33 am

crosshair

because it gets even worse when you realize that this behavior is just for you

7:33 am

bichon

When ever I went to parent/teacher conferences I always heard what a darling child he/she was. I never contradicted, but I certainly knew better.

7:33 am

mom2han8

I tell them to spend 15 minutes in my house, LOL.

7:34 am

mom2han8

My daughter tells me that she behaves as she does at home because she knows that she is unconditionally loved her (can anyone say "snowjob"?????)....

7:34 am

bichon

Kids would never talk to their friends the way they talked to us

7:34 am

crosshair

lol mom,i did one better,i quietly fired up the web cam and taped about an hour or so,put it in a flash key and sent it to school with him lol

7:35 am

mom2han8

I guess it is better for her to be her mean, evil self here, rather than out in public...

7:35 am

mom2han8

OMG... I would NOT want my kid to talk to me the way she talks to her friends. She is downright mean to them. Don't quite know why they hang on.... she has that Alpha female thing going on with them, LOL.

7:36 am

mom2han8

Crossy... believe me I have thought of doing it, but in the end I just let her be... I am sure I was, on occasion, no walk in the park.

7:36 am

crosshair

though i feel a tad sorry for the offspring this morning.it is blowing and howling out there.but it is only a 15 min walk

7:37 am

mom2han8

Mine has to walk home today... 5 blocks. She was carrying on as if I told her that she had to go out and dig ditches. And, luckily, she finally found her keys this morning or she would have been waiting outside for me for about 1/2 an hour.

7:37 am

crosshair

but good thing about in the house..it is not a democracy,it is a dictatorship and i am fidel;))

7:37 am

oodleberry

so what happened when you sent it to the school cross

7:37 am

bichon

I think girls are much more difficult to deal with than boys. Some of the things that came out of her mouth....

7:37 am

mom2han8

Initially she was refusing to bring her hat, scarf, mittens until I reminded her that 5 degrees may feel like below 0 this afternoon.

7:37 am

crosshair

the guidance councillor found it"enlightening"

7:37 am

mom2han8

OMG bichon... I agree.

7:38 am

mom2han8

I would never let the guidance counselor see my kid in action at home; it would reflect poorly on me somehow I am sure.

7:38 am

crosshair

i just told my boy to poke his head out the door..he ran for the hat and mitts

7:38 am

bichon

I know that when my granddaughter were born their mothers [my daughter and d.i.l.] were so happy. I just stayed muym

7:39 am

crosshair

lol,nothing like finding out on your own;0

7:39 am

mom2han8

I am one of four siblings, all girls... I don't know how my parents did it. We were terrible.

7:40 am

oodleberry

I think maybe he is going through a rebellious stage and sees you as a threat to his freedom and tests the boundaries to see how much he can get away with

7:40 am

Atalante

does everyone have guidance counsellors over there?

7:40 am

bichon

To this day I tell my daughter who has a daughter of her own some of the things she said to me and can't believe she would be so mean to her beloved mother

7:40 am

mom2han8

OMG Crossy, anytime my kid has ever had an issue at school (almost never) they always find some way to ask how things at home are, LOL... And these people know me very, very well... I am like, OMG you people know me!

7:40 am

crosshair

of that im sure oodles,i have already invited him to get a job and an apt while he still knows everything

7:41 am

oodleberry

and how old is he

7:41 am

crosshair

no ata,they are a rare thing and hard to get to see

7:41 am

crosshair

16

7:41 am

oodleberry

I thought I knew everything when I turned 21... NOT

7:41 am

mom2han8

Bichon, recently my own mother heard my daughter in action and told her that I never spoke to my mother that way.... as for my other siblings, well.... so, it was nice to hear that I never actually uttered some of the things I am sure I must have been thinking in my twisted teenage mind.

7:41 am

hego

all of this sounds like normal development to me.

7:41 am

gran

re 7/32 and re 8/45 please

7:41 am

mom2han8

Our middle and high schools have guidance counselors as a matter of course.

7:41 am

Atalante

and what do they do? like life coaches for kids?

7:42 am

mom2han8

gran... think deer.. compound word... color + what a dog wags and its plural.

7:42 am

crosshair

if i had ever talked to my father the way my son talks to me,my head would be on backwards or he would shoot me for rabies

7:42 am

Atalante

mom to the PB!

7:42 am

oodleberry

ok I like your reverse psychology you use on hime

7:43 am

mom2han8

ATA.. I was on our local Board of Ed for several years... I, too, would like to know what they do... LOL! Though my daughter has a friend who speaks to the guidance counselor all the time and says that she has been very helpful to her (this kid has some real issues in addition to being an absolute drama queen).

7:43 am

gran

Thanks and finished!

7:43 am

mom2han8

OMG... ATa... did not realize. Sorry.

7:43 am

Atalante

:D

7:44 am

mom2han8

Congrats Gran.

7:44 am

Atalante

whatever happened to being able to go to your teacher if you had any issues! :)

7:44 am

mom2han8

It is all part of the process of growing up. In a few years she will be fine.

7:44 am

hego

I'm impressed gran!

7:44 am

mom2han8

Whatever happened to going to your parents if you had issues, LOL?

7:44 am

crosshair

sort of ata,more like really patient people who keep them pointed in the right direction in life and school when the child just thinks that parents are idiots

7:45 am

Atalante

lol even more true, mom!

7:45 am

hego

What does the 9 start with?

7:45 am

oodleberry

cause the teacher is an authority figure

7:45 am

Christine

Rhere's an old yiddish blessing/curse, "may you have children of your own one day".

7:45 am

mom2han8

My kid definitely talks to me, Thank God... my husband is often surprised by her conversations with me.... but I like to remind him that when she asked him what gay was he replied, "happy"... LOL.

7:46 am

Atalante

who is there in loco parentis

7:46 am

crosshair

omg

7:46 am

mom2han8

OMG Christine I have heard that... too true.

7:46 am

Atalante

I remember my mum trying to tell me what condoms were for when I was 18!

7:46 am

hego

No Chris, I hope you have a kid just like you one day, even better. :-)

7:47 am

bichon

Today my daughter always calls me up for parenting advice for my 2 y.o. g'daughter. I always inwardly chuckle

7:47 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:47 am

mom2han8

Some kids use the guidance counselors, others use teachers or principals, etc... I guess it depends on the kid. Like I said, sometimes mine actually uses here actual parent!

7:47 am

crosshair

though i find that the boys in this age group seem to have a facination with the derrogetory slang terms for same sex couples

7:47 am

hego

Hi Eva

7:47 am

Atalante

hi eva!

7:48 am

EvaNadine

how are we this morning?

7:48 am

crosshair

howdy eva

7:49 am

mom2han8

OMG Crossy... I was at school in the beginning of the year and heard several 13-year-old boys bandying about some really harsh terms... I rounded them all up and took them to the principal... I am so well liked now it is not even funny.... I explained to them, on the way to the office, that they would NEVER use certain words to describe women, blacks, asians, etc... so why was it acceptable to use derogatory terms for homosexuals???? Though I swear fat people are still fair game at all age levels.

7:49 am

crosshair

we are freezing with a fine cracked glaze:/

7:49 am

mom2han8

Good Eva... just venting about our children. Nothing new, LOL.

7:50 am

oodleberry

eva if I say I am doing fine then you are fine and if I say I am doing badly then you are doing badly? We is a collective word meaning you and I. :D

7:50 am

EvaNadine

unless you count fiances in the "children" category, i have none to complain about. :)

7:50 am

hego

They can count

7:51 am

EvaNadine

we are only as strong as our weakest link, are we not, oodle? ;)

7:51 am

mom2han8

Well, maybe someday Eva... the reason people encourage others to reproduce is because misery loves company, LOL.

7:51 am

Atalante

my husband actually asked me how to cook a jacket potato in a microwave yesterday

7:51 am

crosshair

well,the kid is not smoking,drinking or on drugs and has yet to bring a pregnant girlfriend home,so i should be thankfull

7:51 am

mom2han8

I count my husband in the children category some days.

7:51 am

mom2han8

Very true Crossy, but there is still time, LOL.

7:52 am

crosshair

shh mom

7:52 am

mom2han8

Ata... be thankful he had the wherewithal to give it a try.

7:52 am

Atalante

he didn't. he was sitting looking at the potato wonderingly

7:52 am

mom2han8

I actually came home from work last week when they were home and they had waited for me to feed them lunch... I was like, "you people must be kidding me"!

7:53 am

oodleberry

I really don't know if we would consider a weak link in our midst now would we eva. We are not amused. (*giggles*)

7:53 am

mom2han8

Oh, ok Ata... that makes far more sense.

7:53 am

Atalante

this is a man who has lived on his own for over 10 years. it's not as if he can't cook

7:53 am

hego

It was way easier to ask you, Ata.

7:53 am

crosshair

lol ata,i do all the cooking here,send your hubby over and ill show him chicken a la king and rigatoni a la vodka

7:53 am

EvaNadine

hints for the 9?

7:53 am

mom2han8

It was his way of passively asking you to make it for him, as I am sure you well know.

7:53 am

hego

And bacon ala anything!

7:53 am

bojazz

potatoes? microwave? what are you talking about?? lol

7:53 am

mom2han8

Don't have it Eva... too busy with the chog.

7:54 am

crosshair

lol hego

7:54 am

mom2han8

OMG Hego I was just going to say that.

7:54 am

Atalante

if he couldn't cook, I would help him. it's the fact he was obviously much more happy distrubing me from trying to finish an assignment than spend 2 microseconds considering the matter!

7:54 am

Uneaixoise

tr9 pt of tr7/28 (goofy word)

7:54 am

hego

:-)

7:54 am

Atalante

yep, exactly mom!

7:54 am

mom2han8

My husband will not eat a microwaved potato.

7:55 am

mom2han8

I call it "learned helplessness" Ata....

7:55 am

crosshair

no bojazz,a microwave can come in handy with a good baked tater,you start them in the microwave for 6 minutes,turning them halfway,THEN you finish them off in the oven till they are nice and crispy..it cuts down the cooking time greatly

7:55 am

Atalante

I call it bloody annoying :P

7:55 am

oodleberry

how does he know if it is a micro wave potato if you mash them up???

7:55 am

hego

And why can't they ever find anything?

7:55 am

Atalante

exactkly, crossy. just speeds things up

7:55 am

oodleberry

SPEAKING OF WHICH

7:55 am

Atalante

don't shout, oodle

7:56 am

mom2han8

That goes without saying ATa... Crossy, that is brilliant... will try it and see if he can suss out that it was originally nuked.

7:56 am

crosshair

you save a good half hour mom;))

7:56 am

Atalante

you really can't, mom. nuke it for 6-7 mins, oven for 20

7:56 am

EvaNadine

TY une -- thats NBT and NBS for me!

7:56 am

hego

works great with sweet pots too.

7:57 am

mom2han8

Hego.. many years ago I heard Marlo Thomas describing a fight she has with her husband, former talk show host Phil Donahue, regarding lost items... she tells him that she was born with ovaries and they do not come equipped with "lost things detectors"... I was peeing in my pants and use that line all the time.

7:57 am

crosshair

indeed hego

7:57 am

oodleberry

well ask me nicely please ata

7:57 am

mom2han8

OK... I am going to do it next time... thanks so much. Can't believe I never thought of that my own self.

7:57 am

hego

Very funny mom

7:58 am

Atalante

7:58 am

EvaNadine

Of course, who found my daughter's lost keys this morning???

7:58 am

mom2han8

Bye eva

7:58 am

crosshair

milk

7:59 am

hego

Gotta get the lumps out

7:59 am

mom2han8

Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken soups are the secret to all of my best cooking. I have recently branched out to Cream of Potato... LOL.

7:59 am

crosshair

indeed,crosy hates lumpy shrrom soup

7:59 am

mom2han8

I just use a whisk to get out the lumps... but will try the bang it on the counter method.

8:00 am

hego

----still looking for goofy tr 7...

8:00 am

Atalante

ok, I'm going to go and make a ham sandwich then have a nap

8:00 am

crosshair

want a really good secret? when making a meatloaf,throw the crackers away and use a pouch of the stove top stuffing..it is amazing!

8:00 am

Atalante

tr7 ain't goofy - the tr9 from it is!

8:00 am

mom2han8

I have found 60 words in 3 hours and have much to do around this joint... so happy they are finally back at school/work... missed my routine.

8:00 am

mom2han8

Bye Ata.

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

that's exactly what I meant, ata :-)

8:01 am

hego

bye Ata

8:01 am

mom2han8

I use breadcrumbs in my meatloaf... and I HATE stove top stuffing... but, I am sure it is a great tip for the cracker user Crossy.

8:01 am

Atalante

I know, just reaffirming it ;)

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

8:01 am

hego

That sounds great Crossy!

8:01 am

Atalante

*poofs*

8:02 am

crosshair

you hate stove top stuffing?? GASP!

8:02 am

crosshair

i use the cornbread one all the time

8:02 am

Atalante

blasphemy, mom :) *really poofs*

8:02 am

hego

She must not like sage

8:02 am

mom2han8

I know.. I am weird. I don't know, there is some spice that I always taste that I really dislike... might be cilantro, which I feel ONLY belongs in Mexican food and, yet, it turns up in things all the time.

8:02 am

hego

Ata is fake poofing again

8:02 am

crosshair

the cornbread one has very little sage

8:03 am

mom2han8

I like sage... so, I don't think that is what it is. OK.. you will really hate me now... but I detest cornbread stuffing. And, yet, I LOVE cornbread... go figure.

8:03 am

hego

I wouldn't call that weird,mom

8:03 am

crosshair

acccck!

8:04 am

mom2han8

It's like I have this thing about fruit in its natural state.. I will eat any fruit as nature intended... just don't cook it or ask me to drink the juice out of it.

8:04 am

hego

who knew?

8:04 am

crosshair

i find most fruit juices(orange,apple) to acidic now and hunt for the low acid formulations

8:05 am

mom2han8

Yes.. it is a strange affliction, I admit... people look at me all the time like, "You don't eat pie???"... I tell them I would eat pie if the fruit in it was raw...

8:05 am

hego

Gosh, darn Crossy, you are a good cook.

8:05 am

crosshair

with acid reflux i do not need to be adding to it

8:05 am

mom2han8

The only fruit juice I can stomach at all is apricot nectar, which, of course is terrible for you... you may as well just go ahead and have a coke.

8:05 am

Uneaixoise

crossy, I cut my OJ with about 1/4 water (or more)

8:06 am

hego

maybe it has some thing to do with the vodka, Crossy?

8:06 am

crosshair

i an doing grilled honey garlic saussages with mashed taters and corn tonight hego..common over

8:06 am

hego

The acid reflux, I mean.

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

hego LOL!!

8:06 am

mom2han8

If my husband would just make his own toast I would do a jig.

8:06 am

crosshair

please do not diss the bacon vodka;))

8:06 am

mom2han8

I would come for a grilled cheese if someone else was making it, LOL.

8:06 am

hego

Me too Une

8:07 am

mom2han8

When I drank I had a strict rule... no juice with my booze, ever!!!!

8:07 am

hego

I wonder what I'm making for dinner tonite.

8:07 am

mom2han8

Straight up or nothing.

8:07 am

oodleberry

gee ... that's what I do NOT understand why men find it difficult or won't do the simplest of cooking like making toast...

8:08 am

crosshair

of course mom,it would just bruise the alcohol

8:08 am

mom2han8

I made a turkey breast on Saturday night... so we will be eating that again.

8:08 am

oodleberry

been coooking since I was 8

8:08 am

hego

Hmmm turkey breast.

8:08 am

crosshair

since i was 9 here oodles

8:09 am

mom2han8

Stopped drinking a while ago... but I do remember that nice, crisp, cold martini....

8:09 am

crosshair

mmm martians....

8:09 am

mom2han8

I think I came out of the womb with a potholder on, LOL.

8:09 am

hego

Me too

8:09 am

mom2han8

I have replaced the drinking with cooking and babbling, LOL.

8:10 am

hego

You can do all 3, mom

8:10 am

oodleberry

kewel cross... I have been baking cheese cake for 35 years since I was 15

8:10 am

mom2han8

No, I can't Crossy.

8:10 am

mom2han8

Some people can, but I am not one of them.

8:10 am

hego

I got ov gloves for Christmas from 2 different people!

8:10 am

mom2han8

sciencegeek

Hello......of why do I have to work for a living?

8:11 am

hego

They

8:11 am

hego

re great!

8:11 am

mom2han8

Yes. I know. I use them at work.

8:11 am

sciencegeek

should say "oh" too early to type

8:12 am

mom2han8

I ask myself that same question almost daily science.

8:12 am

EvaNadine

ahh. i love quick meetings. :)

8:12 am

hego

Poor sg

8:12 am

hego

That was quick, Eva.

8:12 am

mom2han8

that was quick... now you can get back to the important stuff,

8:15 am

mom2han8

Just got a text about doing lunch with friends... so I should really go and accomplish something here before I need to get ready...

8:15 am

hego

finally got the nine, did not find it goofy

8:16 am

mom2han8

And yet, here I sit... not really looking forward to going out in this weather... brrrrr!

8:16 am

hego

Obviously some people do not cart their boats around.

8:16 am

hego

You'll have fun, mom

8:16 am

mom2han8

It builds off of the 7/28???

8:17 am

hego

yes, got it

8:17 am

mom2han8

Usually I look forward to Monday lunch... we do it every week, but my one friend has been a little contentious and bossy of late... she is beginning to annoy me just a tad, LOL...

8:17 am

hego

7,28 right

8:17 am

hego

maybe somethings going on in her life.

8:18 am

mom2han8

got it...

8:18 am

mom2han8

Absolutely hego, which I why I have bit my tongue, lip, etc... she has very little control of her husband/children... so she feels lately like she needs to control me...

8:19 am

hego

ah, control issues

8:19 am

mom2han8

She is a lovely woman, but there will come a time when I will have to tell her if the behavior continues... would never do it at "Monday lunch", as others will be present.

8:20 am

mom2han8

I am not a pushover, just trying to be patient (which does not come naturally... LOL) because I truly love her.

8:20 am

hego

yes, the back off speech needs to be made

8:21 am

mom2han8

Last week she began instructing me about something that I already thought I had "shut down"... and I just gave her a look and she stopped. It's funny, I sometimes think that she just cannot help herself, LOL... and, of course, if you knew her mother!!!

8:22 am

hego

it's weird how we all become our mother

8:23 am

mom2han8

My secret weapon is to call her "Betty" (her mother's name), which I have NEVER done...

8:23 am

mom2han8

I am decidedly NOT my mother... my sister is, though.

8:23 am

hego

Make it seem like an accidental slip. lol

8:23 am

mom2han8

I am, however, my father... don't know if that is better or worse, LOL.

8:24 am

mom2han8

Yeah... Freudian...

8:24 am

hego

So am I

8:25 am

mom2han8

My father was my primary caretaker (he worked nights and my mother worked days) when I was young... don't know if that has anything to do with it... I really think that we are just wired one way or another from birth.

8:25 am

hego

where do you live in NJ mom?

8:25 am

mom2han8

I used to think my father was terrible, as he was very anti-social... wonderful to me and my sister's, just had no patience for others, LOL. Now I find I am the same.

8:25 am

mom2han8

I live in Bergen County, just outside of Hackensack.

8:26 am

hego

Wow, I grew up in Lyndhurst!

8:26 am

mom2han8

Monday lunches are my social thing for the week... these are the few women I actually enjoy.

8:26 am

mom2han8

Really hego... I grew up in Montclair and Kearny... where are you now?

8:27 am

hego

down the shore

8:27 am

mom2han8

My parents are outside of Toms River.

8:27 am

hego

I live near Long Branch

8:28 am

mom2han8

I did not realize you were from NJ.. I live in Maywood... just figured someone from elsewhere would never have heard of it, that's why I said Hackensack.

8:28 am

mom2han8

Oh, ok... it is nice down there.

8:28 am

mom2han8

I like it here though... could do without this weather though...

8:29 am

hego

Very nice. I've been in this area for almost 50 years now.

8:29 am

mom2han8

My husband would love to go South... I spent some time this summer in Savannah and in Charleston, SC... LOVED it...

8:29 am

hego

I like it too.Love the seasons.

8:29 am

hego

Pretty warm and humid, though.

8:30 am

mom2han8

Yes. I love the Fall... but today I think I would trade it all in... it is just bitter.

8:30 am

hego

It doesn't last that long. And then you get spring!

8:30 am

mom2han8

OMG... it was SOOOO hot there in August. But it is really beautiful... every place has trade offs (though my husband says San Diego is the perfect place... just too far for me).

8:30 am

Carolryberg

I'm in SC and today is 15 very unusual

8:31 am

mom2han8

Yes. I saw that this snap is affecting the whole eastern seaboard.

8:31 am

hego

Hi Carol

8:31 am

mom2han8

True Hego.

8:31 am

Carolryberg

Hello all. Been away during the holidays, too much to do. Now trying to retrain my brain.

8:32 am

mom2han8

I thought Charleston and Savannah were just charming. Nice, livable cities... love Manhattan, but just not what I would consider livable.

8:32 am

mom2han8

Hello Carol.

8:32 am

hego

No, but lovable.

8:33 am

mom2han8

WEll, as I always say... "this is not a Disney movie"... the birds are not going to come through the window and take my laundry down by the river... then hang it up, fold it, and put it away.

8:33 am

mom2han8

No better city in the world, Hego.

8:33 am

hego

ah, too bad

8:33 am

EvaNadine

though, that WOULD be awesome, mom. :)

8:33 am

mom2han8

So, I must go and attend to all of those things.

8:34 am

hego

yes me too mom. bye for now all.

8:34 am

oodleberry

bbye hego

8:34 am

mom2han8

I know Eva.... and then if they could find the money tree and pick the dollars off of it and bring it through the window when they take away the laundry, mop, do the dishes... I could stay here all day, every day, LOL.

8:35 am

mom2han8

OK... I am gone... maybe I will bbl... *poof*

LuvWordGames

not too good at telling which letter words come from but do you have what you listen with?

9:24 am

fuquayvarina

also ea5, had hearing organs

9:25 am

LuvWordGames

el 4/4 you better get this clue or el**

9:26 am

fuquayvarina

lone A= having more burned stuff

9:29 am

M3

the sh's are driving me crazy grrr

9:43 am

Uneaixoise

part of the prob is, as Jilli pointed out, the spelling on at least a couple of the sh's is STOOPID

9:46 am

Uneaixoise

for example, sh5/16 should be spelled with 2 sometimes vowels

9:46 am

Uneaixoise

and sh7/36 should be spelled with a ch, not sh

9:47 am

Uneaixoise

and, yes, I'm a grumpy ex-editor

welcome to the game then, SJ. There are very informative help options available: the help button on the top right, and Angelsong's Help Page (link at bottom under Friends of Babble).
This puzzle isn't considered easy, so don't worry if you don't find many words at first. Play for fun and you will get better soon (at Babble at least).

11:42 am

crosshair

ahh

11:43 am

Sally-catlover

*checks Soodle's profile in facebook.

11:43 am

Haz1558

Soodle will probably protest that it's all a lie, but that's onlybecause she's under contract to some of the magazines.

11:43 am

caitlyn

Will they be named with some of the weird words that enable makes us use? Etui etc

hurshy,are your cards the new ones with the rfid chip???

11:49 am

Haz1558

Did they buy interesting things on the credit cards?

11:49 am

caitlyn

Oh hurshy thats worrying

11:49 am

hurshy

i don't think so, crossy... just regular cards...

11:50 am

crosshair

my brothers cards were compromises in las vegas by thier rfid chips

11:50 am

Sally-catlover

So does that mean you had a good Christmas, hurshy? :-)

11:50 am

hurshy

i don't know, haz, the only charge that was attempted on my card was at GameStop, but it was only $1 (it was on friday, so probably one of those things where the merchant holds a dollar and then the charge is processed a few days later.

11:50 am

crosshair

when i activate my new card,im going to take a hole punch and remove the cip

11:51 am

hurshy

i had a fine christmas - just glad it's company cards and not my own!

11:51 am

crosshair

chip

11:51 am

crosshair

ahh i am glad they are not your personal cards

11:51 am

Haz1558

I know, but any kind of security breach is worrying.

11:51 am

Sally-catlover

When I had an attempt on my card once it was for some tiny amount, and the card firm said that they try that first to see if it goes through, then go for the big time.

11:52 am

crosshair

my brother lost $8,000.00

11:52 am

Haz1558

Yikes!

11:52 am

hurshy

yes, worrying is the word. yes, sally, i think that someone mentioned that possibility to me.

11:52 am

caitlyn

crossy thats terrible was he able to claim it back?

11:52 am

crosshair

took 6 months,but the company acgnoleged the rfid chip breach and refunded him his money

11:52 am

crosshair

damn typos

11:53 am

NonnieLight

Ours was a small attempt $1.13 twice and then the large $622.44. Our Visa was "protected" so they reversed the charges and investigating...

11:54 am

caitlyn

There is so much fraud going on its worrying

11:54 am

Uneaixoise

hmmm, happened to me twice but Visa called me to verfiy that I was actually purchasing sporting equipment which of course I was NOT -- so it was denied and I got a new card

11:54 am

NonnieLight

Mine was my bank card which could have really caused some damage if we hadn't noticed it right away. Thank goodness the bank refunded the one overdraft charge associated with the mess.

11:54 am

hurshy

i can't believe people are so willing to just mess up other people's lives.

11:55 am

Uneaixoise

apparently a red flag goes up if it's a purchase totally out of your normal type

11:55 am

hurshy

yes - well, and when you usually buy businessy stuff, gamestop is a red flag...

11:55 am

Sally-catlover

Mine was an iTunes purchase, but via the American iTunes and not the British one, which was a dead give-away apparently.

11:56 am

crosshair

yup,my brother says that they used a protable card scanner,and it was able to scan the info off of the rfid chip while it was still in his wallet!!

11:56 am

Uneaixoise

e.g., when I ordered something online from England, they called to verify before they let the charges go through

11:56 am

NonnieLight

The charge on mine was to verizon wireless...I think they must have purchased the latest and greatest in phones!

11:56 am

Uneaixoise

still in his wallet?! wow!

11:56 am

Sally-catlover

Wow that is worrying crossy.

11:56 am

Sally-catlover

*orders lead wallet.

11:57 am

crosshair

and special wallets..i think ill just remove the chip

11:57 am

Sally-catlover

dc, do you have any over?

11:58 am

caitlyn

I only use a debit card ........do they use that also for fraud?

11:58 am

dcseain

sadly, i'm hungry now, and it won't be ready for about an hour. but that's what one gets for not planning ahead :) OOOh, i'll make some biscuits to go with.

11:58 am

crosshair

only the ones with the chip

11:58 am

dcseain

faraday cage wallets and passport holders are easily available.

11:58 am

NonnieLight

yes, caitlyn...mine was a debit card

11:58 am

hurshy

what is the chip for in the first place?

11:58 am

dcseain

and you can always weave some thin copper wire into a mesh to line your wallet.

11:59 am

crosshair

if they cant secure the chip,the cc company should buy me the wallet

11:59 am

dcseain

sally, i may, don't know yet

11:59 am

oodleberry

cross? i forget where you work... it seems to me you work for a hotel, is that right?

11:59 am

hurshy

yeah, dc, weaving thin copper wire into a mesh to line my wallet has always been my definition of a good time...

12:00 pm

caitlyn

When I go to a cash point I always cover the key pad so my number cant be tracked if they clone the card..........I dont know too much about this

12:00 pm

dcseain

didn't say it was fun hurshy, merely that it was a viable option :)

12:00 pm

caitlyn

Hi oodle

12:00 pm

hurshy

you must have more dexterous fingers than i do

12:01 pm

NonnieLight

caitlyn do you ever use yours to purchase anything online?

12:01 pm

oodleberry

hey caitlyn how ye be lassie

12:01 pm

Sally-catlover

Also when paying in a store caitlyn. I'm surprised at how many people don't bother.

12:01 pm

crosshair

i get the pre loaded/one time use visa cards for purchaces online.it is safer than using my normal card

12:01 pm

caitlyn

I be fine oodle, how be you ? Happy New Year to you and you family

12:01 pm

hurshy

it is so much worse here in the US than in europe, though. at least in restaurants they swipe your card at the table with a portable reader instead of taking it away from you to do who knows what

12:02 pm

dcseain

i don't debit with my debit card - i run it as credit

12:02 pm

dcseain

where do they do that, hurshy? I've not seen that

12:02 pm

NonnieLight

12:02 pm

oodleberry

12:02 pm

NonnieLight

Are there extra charges to do it that way, dc?

12:02 pm

hurshy

they don't in the US, that's what i'm saying.

wireless devices that encode data, oodle. Found in passports, toll transponders, store security devices, among others

Things to do today......

Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green
Then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet
And pretend your name is Keith

Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an eskimo
Eat a Renault Four with salami in your ears
Casserole your gran
Disembowel yourself with spears

unfortunately, it's about what that paper is good for, it's highly partisan (unlike the paper that failed last year) and doesn't even make a show of trying to be balanced.

5:39 pm

JBV

i've been trying a whole bunch of words that i'm sure go with white, but they're not working - there's something intriguing about having to guess how to do it while you're doing it!

5:39 pm

jillibus

dc, I'm back and tried the game again -- it's saved, but nothing seems to work. Must all the words relate to white, or can they relate to the words which came from white?

5:39 pm

dcseain

yes, it's great fun

5:39 pm

stidmama

hello jill

5:40 pm

dcseain

5:41 pm

jillibus

5:42 pm

jacq, mini map shows the the completed puzzle, in quadrants. click a quadrant - once found - to work it

6:27 pm

dcseain

hi, jmc

6:27 pm

jmcnrick

so most of this chat is about a totally different game?

6:27 pm

dcseain

today, yes, jmc

6:28 pm

jmcnrick

lol what game?

dan2bit

aloha all!

6:29 pm

jmcnrick

hi dan

6:30 pm

jmcnrick

so how do you play it?

6:30 pm

dcseain

aloha, dan

6:30 pm

jillibus

aloha dan -- are you in Hawaii?

6:30 pm

dan2bit

I wish, jillibus

6:30 pm

jacq

ahhhhhhhhh ty seain

6:31 pm

dan2bit

though mrs2bit & I are taking an extended MLK weekend trip to Southwestern Florida in just a couple weeks

6:31 pm

dcseain

nice, dan, hope you enjoy

6:31 pm

dan2bit

last air travel before the baby, most likely

6:31 pm

jillibus

mmm, nice -- and how's mrs 2bit doing?

6:32 pm

dcseain

jmc, each box repsesents a word. Each word is connected to other boxes. a word in a box relates to all connected words.

6:32 pm

dan2bit

much improved in the nausea department, and feeling "flutters" from the inside - showing a bit of a "bump" :-)

6:33 pm

jillibus

exciting, dan!

6:33 pm

dan2bit

yes - we bought our "baby car" on 12/31, and ordered nursery furniture

6:34 pm

jmcnrick

hmm

6:34 pm

dan2bit

because apparently nursery furniture can only be hand crafted by special left-handed elves who only work every other full moon

6:36 pm

dcseain

long time to delivery of furniture, dan?

6:36 pm

jillibus

dc, that equine is eluding me

6:36 pm

jmcnrick

no one told me about the elves -- i made a changing table out of an old fashion kitchen cabinet with a pull out ceramic covered metal bread board

6:37 pm

dcseain

mr ed, jilli

6:37 pm

dan2bit

apparently 14 weeks or so. But we should be in plenty of time. Nice jmc! We just bought a low dresser that will temporarily be a changing table, then later get a mirror or hutch

6:38 pm

oodleberry

mr ed was a male not a female

6:38 pm

dcseain

yes, but he was a type of animal

6:39 pm

oodleberry

is that ma4?

6:39 pm

dcseain

in this puzzle, yes oodle.

6:39 pm

oodleberry

or is there another word I don,t see

6:40 pm

dcseain

another puzzle - not babble - that you don't see ;)

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

i typed horse in the box and nothing happened

6:41 pm

oodleberry

but why is jill saying she doesn't see the equine word

6:41 pm

oodleberry

ok I'm confused

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

because she is playing the other game and trying to get help from dc oodle

6:42 pm

dcseain

other puzzle game :) just to be confusing

6:42 pm

Mary

I also am trying the new puzzle and just got logged in but don't know how to play or what to put in the box can someone explain

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

i get nothing in the other game and i logged in to gmail

6:43 pm

oodleberry

jillibus
dc, that equine is eluding me

6:43 pm

jmcnrick

i tried to find a walk through

6:43 pm

jillibus

poor dc! everyone's asking how to play the game and the inventor should have included a Help!

6:43 pm

jmcnrick

there is a hints but i can't get it to take me anywhere

6:43 pm

Mary

sure could use the help

6:44 pm

JBV

hi again - i'm back after dinner and just realized I got so wrapped in the WHITE game, that I forgot I still have 33 words left to find here!

6:44 pm

jmcnrick

poor oodle we are confusing you

6:44 pm

jmcnrick

hi jbv

6:44 pm

dcseain

yes, it's like that jbv, welcome back

6:44 pm

jmcnrick

so explain how to play the WHITE game because Mary and I are clueless

6:44 pm

MPittore

jmc..."the ole grey m*** ain't what she used to be"

6:44 pm

dcseain

hits does not work, indeed not, jmc. it's like it's half-built or half-functional

6:45 pm

oodleberry

fien I am taking my ball and going home

6:45 pm

jmcnrick

ty mp

6:45 pm

jacq

i have a minimap called on the farm thats where mine started, but liking this game, ty

6:45 pm

JBV

well I have 12 words there, but I still don't think I understand how it works

6:45 pm

MPittore

blonde taking a bow

6:45 pm

Mary

I see the map also but what do I type in the box to get started?

6:46 pm

jmcnrick

well done MP

6:46 pm

dcseain

random words related to White to see what takes, then it builds from there

6:46 pm

jmcnrick

so give me an exemplary word -- i tried horse

6:46 pm

MPittore

ok now to babble-on...he, he, he

6:47 pm

jillibus

neither horse nor mare works

6:47 pm

dcseain

snow, which leads to another, which leads to horse

6:47 pm

jmcnrick

*looks out window for pizza guy*

6:47 pm

jmcnrick

*sigh*

6:47 pm

jmcnrick

ty dc

6:47 pm

MPittore

oh oh, I think you all are talking about the other game sorry...jilli and jmc...

6:48 pm

jmcnrick

okay got the snow in I will play for a while

6:48 pm

dcseain

no problem, MPittore :) all my fault

6:48 pm

jmcnrick

no no MP it was very nice of you to clue the horse here

6:48 pm

jmcnrick

I appreciate clues at all times (well most times)

6:49 pm

jillibus

well, I can't find anything from snow -- tried drop, flake, drift...

6:49 pm

dcseain

yes, and lots of people not in the chat her appreciate it, too, i'm sure

6:49 pm

Scrabbler

What is this other game of which thee speaketh?

6:49 pm

jacq

try fall

6:49 pm

jmcnrick

i tried bank jill and that did work either

6:49 pm

Mary

Ok I give up on the snow I spend too much time on babble let alone try another. Must focus on the 67 words left here where I'm hitting a wall

6:49 pm

jacq

and how did you all get the white game and i got a farm

6:50 pm

Scrabbler

6:51 pm

dcseain

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

6:52 pm

MPittore

6:52 pm

dcseain

6:52 pm

MPittore

oops type meant "your"

6:52 pm

jillibus

6:53 pm

dcseain

6:53 pm

jmcnrick

6:53 pm

jillibus

6:53 pm

MPittore

6:55 pm

6:55 pm

dcseain

6:55 pm

dcseain

6:55 pm

jillibus

6:57 pm

jillibus

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

6:57 pm

jillibus

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

6:59 pm

jmcnrick

6:59 pm

jillibus

darn, I have to go and heat up some supper -- bridge night.

7:02 pm

dcseain

njoy jmc and jilli

7:02 pm

jacq

7:02 pm

dcseain

every box is linked to at least one other.

7:03 pm

dcseain

so, it's linked to both

7:03 pm

dcseain

i've one box liked to 4

7:03 pm

jacq

7:07 pm

Hi brooklynbird

7:07 pm

finding all the words is the goal each day. Help explains how to play - link above

7:07 pm

brooklynbird

good evening

7:07 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Jill

7:07 pm

welki

lawdy, just what i need ... i'm hooked on that game, seain!

7:08 pm

jacq

me too and it's great, but i can't get the same one the others are playing lol

7:08 pm

dcseain

i wonder if that because you're not in North America, jacq

7:09 pm

jacq

possibly the link opens but the minimap is a complete square instead of grids so maybe it's a different size or something maybe need to look at the coding

7:10 pm

dcseain

which browser are you using, jacq?

7:10 pm

welki

mine is square too, jac .. once you open up each quadrant, you'll get four itty bitty maps you can click on

7:11 pm

jacq

right now i'm playing the farm quadrant, and that's fine but if i use the link seain posted i get a blank square in the middle and the minimap has no quadrants

7:12 pm

JBV

holy mackerel, I did not realize I was only solving 1/4 of the puzzle! now I see the other webs!

7:12 pm

dcseain

ah, you're on teh original game then, jacq

7:12 pm

welki

what's the farm quadrant? i have colors in mine ... ut oh, maybe i have a different puzzle!

7:13 pm

jacq

yes i found the link for it and it opens fine but it has a similar addy to the link you posted and strangely enough pig leads to a religions quadrant

7:13 pm

JBV

i think it's very interesting because it uses different word skills compared with Babble - you have to focus on meanings, which of course, is absolutely of no worth here :)

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

Is that (Word Link) a game that changes dialy?

7:14 pm

Scrabbler

Or even daily?

7:15 pm

jacq

i think it's a never ending game lol

7:15 pm

jacq

i found a link where users can upload their own map

How did you learn of the Word Link game, Seain?

7:30 pm

lbdawger

7:34 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Owl, nrkii has me hooked on Quote-Puzzler but I suck at the games. It's humiliating because the scores are listed for all players.
