:) Maybe I'll get better at crosswords, huh?

4:01 am

sprite

it is somewhere in the middle, lady. Not really bitey but not easy either.

4:01 am

sprite

that for sure :)

4:04 am

herinfernallady

I really don'[t know if i can think enough to do that

4:04 am

sprite

you can. Question is, are you in the mood to play?

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Not sure. Long day. Going to have a shower soon

4:06 am

sprite

I had a lousy evening and night. Started out great, with visiting my sister. Then drove home and found out the lights of our new car did not work, only one tiny light.

4:06 am

sprite

very scare drive home, couldn't see the road too well and all cars that saw me were helpfully flashing their big lights, blinding me even more.

4:07 am

herinfernallady

Sprite Damn that is bad

4:08 am

sprite

then I got home, found out I had forgotten my keys... my love sleeping through 30 minutes of bell ringing... until neighbours woke up as a result and helped me by climbing througs Tim's window with a big ladder.

4:08 am

sprite

lol I was so hyper on adrenaline and other stress hormones that I couldn't sleep for hours after.

4:08 am

Kalei50

Wow... that's a sound sleeper

4:08 am

herinfernallady

Sprite your hubby must have been tired

4:09 am

sprite

he is somewhat deaf and it gets worse. I have asked him several times to go see a hearing specialist (do not know the english word). And yes, he was very tired too.

4:10 am

herinfernallady

Men don't ever admit they have a hearing problem

4:11 am

Kalei50

If he won't get a hearing aid, you should make him keep his cell phone on vibrate in a pocket while he sleeps... heh

4:11 am

sprite

no, it is really hard for him. He knows one ear is pretty bad, but he is not ready to admit it is getting worse. I cannot blame him, it is tough to realise those kind of things :(

4:12 am

sprite

lol Kalei, good idea!

4:13 am

sprite

and you know, I used to be very good at remembering telephone numbers. But now that I mostly use my cell phone, where I click the name and it dials for me... I really couldn't remember my love's number yesterday.

4:14 am

Kalei50

yes, there are very few numbers I can remember any more

4:16 am

sprite

promised myself I will memorise more of them! Was shocking to see how dependant I have become of the cell phone's memory, grin.

4:16 am

Kalei50

Did you not have your cellphone either?

4:17 am

sprite

no, I forgot both my keys and my cell phone. My son was in a hurry to get to my sister, and of course he hadn't packed half of what he needed, so our departure was rather hectic :)

4:18 am

Kalei50

yikes... well at least you finally got in

4:18 am

herinfernallady

back soon I need a shower and get in my pjs

4:18 am

sprite

it is the kind of story that is rotten to go through, but makes for a nice dinner story later...

4:18 am

gortmold

4:18 am

sprite

4:19 am

4:25 am

sprite

hi lyn :)

4:26 am

Kalei50

how often do you guys get ALL the possible words?

4:26 am

Kalei50

I feel like I'm going to get a headache if I play this game too long... lol

4:27 am

lynxxx

Its only the addicted people that get all the words every day

4:27 am

sandyloo

often but with help from the dictionaries and clues

4:27 am

gortmold

once every 24 hours, once or twice a week

4:27 am

sprite

when I started, almost never. Now after a couple of years, usually every time. But that took practice ;)

4:27 am

Kalei50

wow

4:27 am

sandyloo

hi guys

4:27 am

gortmold

don't play if it's scrambling your noggin, i play because i find it relaxing, but don't give stuff re ranking

4:27 am

Kalei50

where do we get clues?

4:28 am

sandyloo

and Sprite is not english she is amazing

4:28 am

lynxxx

hi Sandy

4:28 am

Christine

Gortmold - I noticed you ruined a perfectly good Chinglish sign -- the word is crafty, leaving out the T made it seem I-don't-know-what. Here in L.A. we have people from all over the world, and the translations are often wierd, but yours takes the cake.

4:28 am

sandyloo

hi lyn, gort sprite

4:28 am

Kalei50

well my head likes a good scrambling sometimes... but I know I won't last too long that's all... heh

4:28 am

lynxxx

Kalei, see Lickety Split clues, link at the bottom

4:29 am

sprite

hey sandy :)
The greens in the IronSudoku are the possibles. You can get them by clicking on a cell and then shift+click for the number you want.

4:29 am

gortmold

heya sandy

4:30 am

sprite

if you want to mark the impossibles, you can do control + click and you will get reds.

4:30 am

Kalei50

Ahh ok thanks

4:30 am

sandyloo

I can do easy sudokus but the one up now I have copied and given to Nicky LOL

4:30 am

sprite

:D

4:31 am

sandyloo

Kalie, I was too shy to ask about those clues for over a year (LOL) and I never finished a puzzle in that time

4:31 am

gortmold

yeah christine, my love for chinglish started with an ancient book of my linguist father's, full of literarily hilarious signposts called Signs of the Times

4:31 am

Kalei50

Yea I can't do expert Sudokus... or don't really want to I guess

4:31 am

Kalei50

lol dang Sandy that's pretty shy ;0)

4:31 am

sprite

oh it is an expert. They can be really really tough. But usually I have most trouble with the mediums, lol. Medium just seems to mean anything.

4:32 am

sandyloo

but I got over that when I found everyone to be very gorgeous and friendly and helpful

4:32 am

gortmold

also spent many happy nerdy hours on the 1000km road between Brisbane and Sydney mentally reversing signs...

4:32 am

sandyloo

that icon is so cool Sprite

4:32 am

sprite

so we missed a whole year of your chatting? Dang. Glad you spoke up, sandy :)

4:33 am

gortmold

...and discovered to my joy that "Reduce Speed NOw" is almost "Won Deep Seducer"

4:33 am

sprite

thanks :)

4:33 am

sandyloo

4:33 am

gortmold

gortmold

chinglish is chinese-translated-via-buggery-to-engl
ish

4:35 am

sprite

gort, in the netherlands we always get several languages at school. Dutch and English, German and French, nowadays often Spanish too. We are a small trade nation, it is tradition.

4:35 am

Christine

No, Korenglish

4:35 am

Nancy Boy

Y'know Christine I was wondering :P usually I just call it "Engrish" because of the way my relatives say "English"

4:35 am

sprite

oh yes please do, Nancy Boy. I love things like that.

4:36 am

Christine

Oh, sorry, I was correcting myself, not you, Kalei50.

4:36 am

Kalei50

no prob

4:36 am

gortmold

so sprite, growing up multilingual developed the english part of your noggin?

4:36 am

Nancy Boy

4:36 am

sandyloo

I was in Bangkok

4:36 am

sandyloo

sorry

4:36 am

Kalei50

LOOOL

4:36 am

gortmold

4:37 am

sandyloo

I was in Bangkok once and it was a public holiday they said it was 'erection day"

4:37 am

sprite

I think I have spent a previous life time in England, lol. Have a deep love for that language. Most I learned from reading english and from Babble. Chatting here has taught me so much.

4:37 am

Nancy Boy

I think that one is fairly famous though; there's probably pictures on the web..

4:37 am

sandyloo

whoops off to the PB for me

4:38 am

Christine

I guess it's what was known as Pidgin English.

4:38 am

sprite

lol sandy!

4:38 am

gortmold

what language do you think in, sprite?

4:38 am

sprite

usually in dutch, gortmold, but when I am reading or chatting in english, it is in english.

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Gort shall I tell you the game we play in the car?

4:39 am

sandyloo

Tell me, I love car games

4:39 am

gortmold

i dunno, herin, does it involve identifying the author of the fart?

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Ok it is either the lines on the road and saying white line white line white line then white liiiiiiiiiiiiine when there is a long one.

4:40 am

Kalei50

I like the alphabet game

4:40 am

sprite

whaaaa I am not going on a long drive with you, lol

4:40 am

gortmold

lol herin! how did you not go mad and bite yourselves?

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Or we start doing random pointing out things like hey guess what What Treeeeeee back and forth (like Tree Car letter box)

4:40 am

sprite

me too, Kalei

4:40 am

sandyloo

ha ha herin, we have to scream when we cross over railway lines or we will get pregnant

4:41 am

sprite

never knew that is where babies come from!

4:41 am

Kalei50

I still like to honk the horn and hold my breath when I go thru tunnels

4:41 am

gortmold

extra hard lol, sandy

4:41 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Gort. Yeah, the only game I play in the car is extended naptime.

4:41 am

Christine

Sprite, in Essex (in England) there's an island called Canvey Island, in the mouth of the Thames. In the 17century a lot of Dutch people lived there, recovering the land by draining the ditches and when I was a kid there were three round houses, built in the 1600s by the settlers.

4:42 am

sprite

oh cool, Christine! I think I would love to go there some day and see it.

4:43 am

sprite

we do games like, name an animal. Take last letter of that animal, next person must name an animal starting with that letter. Etc. Animals or another theme.

4:43 am

Christine

I think I'll ask my sister to go there some day, and take photos, if there still standing.

4:43 am

sandyloo

that is a cool one sprite

4:43 am

sandyloo

how is your leg NB?

4:44 am

Christine

Oh, if they're still standing.

4:44 am

herinfernallady

NB you suffer from Car coma too?

4:45 am

sprite

I cannot sleep in cars.

4:45 am

gortmold

anyone know if the re8 is compound?

4:45 am

gortmold

or fishy?

4:45 am

sprite

not a compound, it is a superlative

4:46 am

Nancy Boy

It's healing thanks, Sandy! :) just hurts when I put weight on it...thanks!

4:46 am

gortmold

thanks sprite, that's the fishiest one of them all really, isn't it

4:46 am

sandyloo

will you need a crutch in Korea

4:46 am

Kalei50

re8?

4:47 am

Christine

Really do need that cup of tea - back soon (obviously not going to read, tonight).

4:47 am

sprite

re8/55 means, this grid contains a word starting with RE, having 8 letters in total, worth 55 points

4:47 am

Christine

Kalei50 think coral or Great Barrier, but more so.

4:47 am

sandyloo

re 8 is an extension of the re4 above it

4:48 am

sprite

reading single words and chat sentences, Christine ;)

4:48 am

Nancy Boy

hopefully, hopefully not. I can get around not using them at work, and that's usually for twelve-hour shifts with no sitting down, so hopefully that's a good sign that it'll support itself. on second thoughts, if I have crutches, they may give me one of those seats with loads of leg room on the plane..decisions decisions..

4:49 am

herinfernallady

NB have you thought of strapping your leg up?

4:49 am

sprite

well you can do the crutches during your journey and then go without them in Korea.

4:49 am

sprite

lol lady, nooooo! He will get a seat with LESS leg room that way.

4:50 am

sandyloo

the leg room thing is good NB - how long is the flight?

4:50 am

sandyloo

Ask to be in the seat near the emergency exit

4:50 am

Hooray for Gort!

4:51 am

Nancy Boy

ooh, about 11/12 hours, Sandy - mind you, I'm not really tall enough to warrant having a seat that lets me stretch out! I'm terrified of flying though, so we'll have to see how that works out :P

4:51 am

gortmold

thank you, thank you, thank you

4:51 am

Nancy Boy

ooh, well done Gort :)

4:51 am

gortmold

4:52 am

sprite

4:53 am

Nancy Boy

FMitch

Hello Haz and Spangletina, and Hi herin.

6:22 am

FMitch

How is Ballymena today?

6:23 am

Haz1558

It's a bit damp. But we're used to that!

6:24 am

Haz1558

I managed to watch some/most of Sherlock Holmes on Saturday. I enjoyed it, especially Watson!

6:24 am

featherbee

good morning friends across the pond. i can't stay long, but i wanted to ask you to take a peek at my profile for something i've set up for a babbler we know and love.

6:24 am

FMitch

It is good isn't it. I did my usual fall asleep about 1/2 an hour from the end. Think I will have to give up watching TV in bed.

6:24 am

Haz1558

Hello, feather.

6:25 am

featherbee

try not to mention it much in the chog, i'm trying to keep it quiet!

6:25 am

Haz1558

Lips zipped.

6:26 am

featherbee

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Feather Hi. Can I have a quick word with you on FB please

FMitch

featherbee

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Hi FM

6:28 am

FMitch

What the grid like today Haz, have been busy on other things so have yet to contemplate it.

6:30 am

herinfernallady

It is a bit hard FM

6:31 am

FMitch

rats, could do with an eay one today, brain is not fully functioning today.

6:32 am

FMitch

phone brb.

6:33 am

Haz1558

It's not too bad, a bit twisty (sorry, was reading elsewhere).

6:35 am

FMitch

HAve to skoot for a little while, TTFN and hope to be back soon.

6:35 am

Haz1558

Bye, FM, see you later.

6:40 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone

6:40 am

Haz1558

Hello, Annie, how are you?

6:41 am

Anniebrook

Hello Haz, I am good. I was reading the chog and I dont know where to send a check for the nice surprise.

6:42 am

Haz1558

Annie, if you follow the link, it will bring you to a website. Do you have paypal?

6:43 am

Anniebrook

Haz, Of course you know my literacy level re: computers. I tried to open the link and a message came on that there was no known website. I do not have paypal and wouldnt know the first thing about it. I probably should write a sequel to my first instructional book.

6:44 am

Anniebrook

*said

6:44 am

Haz1558

I had a feeling you would say that!

6:44 am

Anniebrook

Haz, You know me quite well. What happened to envelopes and stamps?

6:44 am

Haz1558

Do you use facebook?

6:45 am

Anniebrook

No I do not use facebook. Alas.

6:46 am

Anniebrook

I really like the babbler in question but it looks as if I am going to have to let this go.

6:46 am

Haz1558

Then you maybe need to find out feather's address somehow and use the envelope and stamps option?

6:47 am

Anniebrook

I opened feather's profile but there is no address. I will try to ask someone who might know.

6:48 am

Haz1558

That might be the easiest for you, Annie.

6:49 am

Anniebrook

I think so too. Any Liam Neeson sightings lately?

6:50 am

Haz1558

Not in Ballymena - he's publicising his latest film 'The A team'. I can't see me going to see it. A wee bit on the loud side.

6:50 am

Anniebrook

Not the A Team from years back. If so, not for me.

6:51 am

Haz1558

It's a film version, lots of explosions and machoness.

6:52 am

Anniebrook

definitely not for me. These E's are giving me a slight headache.

6:52 am

Haz1558

All the e words have appeared before.

6:53 am

Anniebrook

Good to know.

6:54 am

Soodlebum

Hi Annie and Haz. :-)

6:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle.

6:56 am

Anniebrook

Hi Soodle

6:56 am

Soodlebum

What a nice thought of Featherbees. I don't have paypal, (don't have a credit card), but I would still like to contribute......any ideas?

6:56 am

Haz1558

Lunch time for me. Hope you get the address, Annie.

6:56 am

Haz1558

Bye for now!

6:56 am

Anniebrook

bye Haz.

6:57 am

Haz1558

Soodle, I think a debit card can work with paypal as well - it's easy enough to register. Bye!

6:57 am

Anniebrook

Soodle, I would like to contribute also and have no idea either.

7:03 am

Mom

Hi everyone

7:05 am

NonoNanette

Good Morning Babblers :)

7:05 am

Anniebrook

Hi Nono!

7:05 am

Mom

Annie, as to Feather's idea, I made a contribution and added your name as well.
Soodle, when I get ahold of Feather I will have her add your name also.

7:05 am

Anniebrook

7:05 am

Mom

HI Nono

7:08 am

Soodlebum

Oh, Mom - I have set up a paypal account, and made a donation - all in the space of about 5 minutes. I am more technically advanced than I thought. But thank you so much for your kind offer.

7:09 am

Anniebrook

Mom, Please give me your address so I can send out a check to you. Please tell me how much I should write the check for. My address is astern@aol.com

7:10 am

Mom

It is my pleasure {{Soodle}}

7:11 am

Mom

Annie, I am writing you now ...

7:12 am

Anniebrook

Mom, leaving babble expert and going to open aol.

7:12 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

7:12 am

Mom

ok Annie, I should be finished in a minute (if I don't get too long winded) :-)

7:12 am

rubyfoo

everything is under control and they have the dog in custody!

7:13 am

Soodlebum

{{{Rubes}}}} I was wondering where you were, and if everything was ok....

7:13 am

Mom

{{Ruby}} hello, so glad the dog has be found

7:15 am

NonoNanette

Hi Ruby

7:15 am

rubyfoo

just spent 3 hrs at hospital where we were summoned for more rabies shots but then they had to send somebody to the next big town BECAUSE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF VACCINE

7:15 am

NonoNanette

and how is hubby doing now?

7:15 am

rubyfoo

Is that crazy, or what? And they called me!

7:15 am

rubyfoo

and we filed a formal complaint with the gendrames (at home) yesterday.

7:16 am

rubyfoo

he is starting to have pain and is black from wrist to shoulder!

7:16 am

NonoNanette

poor man! He is in my prayers for a speedy recovery

7:17 am

NonoNanette

gald that you filed a formal complaint

7:17 am

rubyfoo

thank you no no!

7:17 am

rubyfoo

since the people live in our village, hopefully they are not indigent and will have to pay our expenses on this!

7:19 am

NonoNanette

that is as it should be. Your hubby did not provoke the attack, the owner should have had better control of his dog and should be held accountable financially

7:20 am

Riverdance

Good Morning - Hi ((RUBY)) Do they have homeowners insurance that may cover the bills and extras

7:21 am

NonoNanette

Morning River

7:21 am

rubyfoo

they are telling us to hire a lawyer!

7:21 am

rubyfoo

it is a criminal complaint against the mane, mainly for not coming to husband's aid

7:21 am

Soodlebum

Hi River. I agree - if they have some sort of 'all risks' cover, their dog's misdemeanours should be covered.

7:21 am

Riverdance

may not be a bad idea - just make sure it doesnt cost you anything to do that

7:21 am

rubyfoo

the police were wonderful!

7:22 am

rubyfoo

and the mayor wants the dog destroyed or at least removed from our village!

7:22 am

Soodlebum

I have to go now, be back later. See you all soon. Hugs all round....

7:22 am

rubyfoo

poor husband, he is really broken by this!

7:22 am

herinfernallady

Hi. Ruby I had a thought

7:22 am

NonoNanette

bye Soodle

7:22 am

rubyfoo

now we are waiting for the nurse to come and for his local MD to come at 5:30

7:22 am

rubyfoo

bye soodle

7:22 am

Riverdance

I can imagine - anyone would be and with his advanced age, it is devastating for both of you

7:23 am

rubyfoo

yes, herin????

7:23 am

herinfernallady

http://www.amazon.fr/ It is the French version of Amazon

7:23 am

rubyfoo

I use amazon all the time.....

7:23 am

herinfernallady

You should be able to open it with auto translation

7:23 am

Mom

{{River}} and {{Herin}} hello

7:24 am

rubyfoo

{{mom}}, too

7:24 am

Riverdance

as grim as this sounds, make sure to take photos of the injury for any potential lawsuit

7:24 am

herinfernallady

Hi Mooooooooooom

7:24 am

rubyfoo

I already have them. If anybody is interested in ghastly, technicolor photos, I have them! hahah

7:24 am

Riverdance

Hi ((Mom)) and ((Herin)) and who ever else is lurking behind the scenes

7:24 am

herinfernallady

I was thinking if you needed to order you can order from France and not pay higher delivery.

7:24 am

rubyfoo

the visiting nurse took the pictures and sent them to my computer and I sent them to the gendarmes

7:25 am

herinfernallady

That said Hi River and Ruby I hope hubby makes a speedy recovery

7:25 am

rubyfoo

are there lurkers out there? BOO!!!

7:26 am

7:30 am

hydra

Anyone know what happened to ruby's hubby? I've scanned the chog and gathered he was attacked by a dog.

7:31 am

NonoNanette

yes hydra and the dog and owner left the sceene

7:31 am

NonoNanette

police finally found them and charges have been filed

7:31 am

hydra

That's awful. Is he badly hurt?

7:31 am

NonoNanette

the bites were quite serious

7:32 am

Riverdance

very serious bites to his arm

7:32 am

hydra

I'm so sorry to hear that.

7:32 am

Riverdance

wounds are still open - talking skin grafts

7:32 am

hydra

Horrible. I hope he'll make a good recovery.

7:33 am

NonoNanette

we are all praying for that

7:33 am

Riverdance

as ruby said to me yesterday - where are they going to get the skin - off his scrawny butt? He is 85 years old - that is very painful

7:33 am

Riverdance

I feel so bad for them

7:34 am

herinfernallady

They can grow skin in labs

7:34 am

hydra

Then I shall add my prayer to yours. I didn't Babble yesterday as I was having a ghastly time at the dentist's. My dad had to have skin grafts in his 80s. Yes, they are very painful. They took skin from his thigh.

7:34 am

herinfernallady

Hydra did you get that problem tooth finally sorted?

7:35 am

Riverdance

<<<<<< hates dentist

7:35 am

SeaSpray

Morning all...I had dental skin grafts several years ago...not pleasant!

SeaSpray

hello plaayyer

8:59 am

plaayyyer

Is there a list that comes out with the words or something that people keep referring to?

8:59 am

Riverdance

welcome aboard

8:59 am

Riverdance

look below the grid for licketys babble clues

9:00 am

Riverdance

it gives the first

9:00 am

Riverdance

it gives the first two letters then how many letters and points

9:00 am

plaayyyer

Oh my god

9:00 am

plaayyyer

that makes this game SO much easier

9:00 am

bichon

ke 7 is spelled with an ei, at least that's how I've always seen it

9:01 am

Riverdance

oh well - still works for me

9:01 am

Riverdance

how are you bichon

9:02 am

SeaSpray

off for daughters 2nd dress fitting...bbl

9:02 am

bichon

I'm splendid. My g'daughter is going to spend the night and then we're going on a nature walk tomorrow AM

9:02 am

plaayyer - if it wasnt for the list - I would never get through this game

9:02 am

hi and bye seaspray

9:02 am

Riverdance

oh how fun for you bichon

9:03 am

SeaSpray

Hi and bye River...hope all is going well for your family

9:03 am

bichon

It's always great when I get to spend time with my grandchildren

9:03 am

Riverdance

very well thanks

9:07 am

bichon

River, do you watch "Bost Med"?

9:07 am

Riverdance

I have not but heard about - may check it out online

9:08 am

Riverdance

IN fact I heard the Doc that did Keith's first surgery when he was born was on there recently

9:08 am

bichon

They show heart surgery at Childrens Hospital.

9:18 am

bichon

One surgeon did a very complicated surgery on a newborn. It was very serious because the surgeon made a mistake [in this case the problem was so complicated that it was understandable] and the surgery needed to be repeated. The baby recovered fully

9:19 am

Riverdance

was that the episode with Dr. Jonas

9:19 am

bichon

no, this was Jack Myers

9:21 am

bichon

It was very difficult for him to face the family, but he did. And the family understood the issues involved. The baby was born with a very weird case of arteries and veins going every which way

9:22 am

Riverdance

It is such an eye opener when walking into that hospital - there are so many seriously sick children and then the miracles they perform - its mind boggling

9:22 am

bichon

If it were my child, I would definitely insist he went there over Yale

9:24 am

Riverdance

well cardiac anyway - Boston Childrens is the leading cardiac hospital in the country - people for all over the state and abroad go there. I was very fortunate to have them so close - within 2 hour driving is nothing

9:24 am

bichon

I'm 2 hours from there too. I take my Mom to doctors at Yale and they're great, but for heart, Boston would be my pick

9:25 am

Riverdance

When my Mom needs her bypass surgery - we took her to Boston too - I trust them much more than the locals here

9:25 am

Riverdance

*needed

Trifioso

my fave -- a new transplant to Boston went out for Mexican at lunch, and ordered a taco. The cashier asked "fajita? and she was all confused and said "no, taco!" to which the cashier replied "fajita?" and the lady got more agitated and said, louder, "NO TACO!" to which the Cashier hollered back "NO! Fah heah or to go?" Gawd, how i ROLLLED laughing....

I've been there in July and had great, warm weather. Lucky, I guess

9:45 am

Trifioso

okay, i am nbt and well over halfway, so I have to go "add value" now....the kids are gone til next monday (snif) and I am trying to get stuff done in their absence and between work hours, but oh, the temptation to lay around like a big ol' jabba the hutt is stroooooong

9:45 am

Soodlebum

Ah yes. The toffee hammers........Often used on non-toffee......(Handy weapon to have in the kitchen!).

9:45 am

Soodlebum

9:48 am

Soodlebum

9:48 am

crosshair

9:49 am

bichon

I wouldn't mind one in Ireland Soodle. Enjoyed ourselves immensely there

9:49 am

Soodlebum

Cross - I keep saying this - 6 numbers in the Lottery, and there will be an all-expenses paid Babble-Fest, compliments of Soodle.

9:49 am

Trifioso

9:50 am

Soodlebum

Where did you visit, Bichon?

9:50 am

crosshair

sounds fine to me soodles,and i still have a valid U.K passport,so any time you are ready;)

9:50 am

bichon

We spent most of our time on the Kerry way, but we were in Dublin and went to the Cliffs of Mohr

9:51 am

Soodlebum

Excellent - Crossy. Now the easy part - 6 numbers.....

9:51 am

crosshair

6 little numbers..i have my ticket for ours here wed night...

9:52 am

Soodlebum

My dad is a Kerryman, Bichon, and we used to spend all our holidays there as kids. I love it! How did you get on understanding the Kerry accent?

9:52 am

Riverdance

K's are krushed

9:52 am

Soodlebum

Nasty nasty K's.

9:53 am

bichon

I didn't think it was anything more challenging than all the other accents i was confused by.

9:53 am

bichon

We had a great guide, Gaelic speaking too.

9:54 am

bichon

We also took a ferry ride to an island with a moastery and to lots of pubs with Irish music

9:54 am

Riverdance

pubs? hmmm!

9:54 am

Soodlebum

Lol! Kerry has an accent all of its own, but probably only discernable to Irish. I speak Gaelic as well - its compulsory at school. I have tried (in vain) to teach some Babblers the language, using phonetics, but alas,.....

9:55 am

Soodlebum

Yup. Great pubs here. With loads of 'diddly-eye' music....

9:55 am

bichon

Gaelic is beyond me. But I love Gaelic music. Every Tues morn there is a radio station which plays it

9:56 am

bichon

Our next door neighbors play Gaelic Music and when they practice it's great. They have written at least one book about it

9:57 am

Soodlebum

Diddly-eye music = Irish/Gaelic music.....

9:57 am

bichon

didn't know that Soo

9:59 am

crosshair

enya..i love it when enya goes all gaelic

9:59 am

Soodlebum

Nice chatting to you Bichon. I am off out now, to buy that lottery ticket. (Maybe if every-body on Babble scrunched up their eyes real tight and went ommmmmmmmmmm, I might be lucky)..... See you all later - Poof

Anybody there?

3:04 pm

Judi

It's a wasteland in here, Soodle. I just finished.

3:05 pm

Kalei50

I'm here but I'm new and I ... to put it bluntly, SUCK

3:05 pm

Judi

Gotta jet. Snack time!

3:12 pm

Soodlebum

Kalei, can I help you at all? Its a really good game when you know what your doing. :-)

3:14 pm

Kalei50

um... sure I'll take all the help I can get

3:14 pm

Kalei50

I tried using the clue page, but I can't even figure THAT out lol

3:15 pm

Soodlebum

Have you figured out the significance of the tile stats?

3:15 pm

Kalei50

yes

3:15 pm

Kalei50

but it almost makes it harder... trying to make 26 words out of that R on the top row... I'm only halfway

3:15 pm

Soodlebum

OK. Well, thats good. I was playing for about 2 months before that particular light dawned on me!!

3:16 pm

Soodlebum

So, what letters are your stuck on?

3:16 pm

Kalei50

well that R, like I said... the F next to it... basically more than half, because I only have 64 words. lol

3:18 pm

Soodlebum

So, you know that that R has 26 words coming from it. 20 of them are RE words, (I know this, because I finished the grid earlier). 7 of those RE words only have 4 letters.

3:20 pm

Kalei50

ok

3:22 pm

Kalei50

I'm running out of re words to try... lol

3:22 pm

Riverdance

Hello again - just passing through - speaking of RE's - I never heard that re8 word before - doesnt make sense to me - the most of a ocean sandbar/bank

3:23 pm

Soodlebum

And, if it makes things any easier, there are 3 RI words, and 3 RO words.

3:23 pm

Riverdance

did you get the re5 and 6 - to lease and apartment with an extra vowel on the end

3:23 pm

Soodlebum

Hiya River{{{}}} I fear I might be putting poor Kalei off, rather than helping!! :-(

3:24 pm

Kalei50

got all the RI s, only one RO, thanks

3:24 pm

Riverdance

3:24 pm

Riverdance

3:25 pm

Soodlebum

Have you got the fish eggs, the crow, and the learner, Kalei?

3:25 pm

Kalei50

I can tell I will like it tho

3:25 pm

Riverdance

or better yet the wicked witch of the *est

3:25 pm

Kalei50

got fish eggs, yes ... crow, not sure

3:25 pm

Riverdance

lol - got that backwards

3:25 pm

Riverdance

its been a long day at work - time to go home

3:26 pm

Riverdance

ro4 is a chess piece

3:27 pm

Riverdance

ro6 - the new cop

3:27 pm

Soodlebum

Bye River. Think of a 'learner cop/police man Kalei, and then take the last 2 letters off for the chess piece/crow....

3:28 pm

Riverdance

time to shut down my computer and leave this wonderful place of employment - see you all in babbleland some other time ((soodle))

3:28 pm

3:31 pm

Kalei50

no biggie... I don't have much time... just relaxing before getting ready for work

3:32 pm

Soodlebum

Where in the world are you?

3:32 pm

Kalei50

Las Vegas, NV

3:33 pm

Soodlebum

Aaaaggghhhhh. My favouritest place on the planet!!!!

3:33 pm

3:33 pm

Kalei50

I could do with a bit of a cooling trend right now, but thank heavens for AC

3:34 pm

Soodlebum

I bet! I have spent 2 very very memorable weekends in Vegas. I really want to go back.....

3:35 pm

Kalei50

3:36 pm

Soodlebum

MGM Grand. We took a helicoptor ride over the city at night - It was just magical.

3:36 pm

Kalei50

Wow... yea I've always wanted to try that

3:37 pm

Soodlebum

There are usually loads and loads of Americans on Babble - I can't think where everybody is right now!

3:38 pm

Kalei50

Middle of the day... could be busy?

3:38 pm

Kalei50

do you use the clue page?

3:39 pm

SeaSpray

Hi soodle, Kalei....do either of you have a clue for the re8?

3:39 pm

Soodlebum

Yup. Did you get the re 8 word? Its to do with the Great Barrier RE** in Australia,?

3:39 pm

Kalei50

yes... somebody gave a rhyming clue earlier - interesting word

3:39 pm

Soodlebum

Superlative of the Great Barrier re**, and Hi SeaSpray!

3:40 pm

Kalei50

hi

3:40 pm

Kalei50

how does the clue page work?

3:42 pm

SeaSpray

ty soodle ...got it

3:43 pm

Soodlebum

The clue page starts off telling you that there are 5 words beginning with AS. The first is a 6 letter word, giving a total of 21 points. (The points for each letter are shown on the grid. So the first AS word in the puzzle has a total of 21 points. (Clue A plus perfume)...try it out Kalei....

3:45 pm

Kalei50

hmm.. ok

3:47 pm

Soodlebum

To make it easier, the first word in the grid is AS 6/21 - AS plus smallest US coin....

3:47 pm

Kalei50

yea I got that one, thanks

3:48 pm

Soodlebum

And your off.............

3:48 pm

Kalei50

:o)

3:49 pm

Soodlebum

In the hint page, the next one is as 5/15. As your new, here is another clue. AS plus baby's bed, or a Horse-race in England, Royal AS***.......

3:50 pm

Kalei50

?? There's no 5/15 that I can see

3:51 pm

periwinkle

Oh, that's bad, Scrabbler!

4:59 pm

Would you like to come visit for a week, Soodle?

5:00 pm

Scrabbler

But the good news is that this is a fixable problem! He has a tethered cord.

5:00 pm

Scrabbler

Jellen, any updates on Tim?

5:00 pm

Soodlebum

Ha, Jellen....you might just live to regret that remark.....

5:00 pm

Jellen

Just got meds to start reducing fluid retention...

5:00 pm

Diuretic I suppose?

5:01 pm

Jellen

Still having some nausea problems...

5:01 pm

Jellen

Normal feelings. No doubt about it.

5:03 pm

Minveryork

Sorry to hear that Tim is still having problems Jellen.I do hope that his problems don't last that much longer

5:03 pm

When the upstairs' bunnies want their salads they fling their pie tins around.

Soodlebum

What he needs right now is a crazy Irish lady turning up on his doorstep! Lol!

5:04 pm

Jellen

His bro is leaving us for a week...I need to decide if I can handle Tim on my own, or if his mom needs to come...

5:05 pm

Scrabbler

Any chance for home nursing coverage?

5:05 pm

Jellen

I doubt it...

5:05 pm

Scrabbler

BBL--must make bunnies' salads.

5:05 pm

Jellen

His needs aren't that severe...

5:05 pm

Soodlebum

Jellen, will his mom be a help to YOU? If so, encourage her to come. If she is going to be high maintenance, maybe you could discourage her?

Goodbye Scrabbler! I will see you later in the chat log

7:17 pm

Christine

hanks, Crosshair -- I received your email.

7:17 pm

Scrabbler

It gets better, Kat, a LOT better. The beginning of #1 didn't make sense--it was more of background info.

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

Midnight? I better be in the midst of REM sleep then.

7:19 pm

carleekat

7:19 pm

rururocks

I have all the fe's red

7:19 pm

Christine

Scrabbler -- great books, huh. I read an interview with his fiancee, who wasn't happy with the translations. And, unfortunately, because sthey were not able to marry, the family owns the rights to the books and won't spend the money as he wanted.

7:19 pm

7:29 pm

kje

hi min, its a gorgeous day here today and I should really be outside in the sun instead of babbling

9:08 pm

featherbee

both. you get 7 tiles, and must quickly find words out of them. they're laid out in a line. you can shuffle them with the space bar. 3 letter words and up. if you get all 7 you get more points.

9:08 pm

welki

done! anyone need a clue or two before i go?

9:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that's nothing like boggle! LOL

9:09 pm

9:09 pm

welki

when i went to that site, i got a game called balloono ... shoot monkeys with water balloons! (heaven forbid .. we don't want to make the monkeys angry!)

9:09 pm

Minveryork

he 6/21 word is he 4/5 word plus a preposition daylat

9:10 pm

9:44 pm

Aww....I'm sure you'd beat me! As if I'd play...

9:44 pm

dcseain

Was playing non-babblers before&was winning every game. Then featherbee invited and me and that was it for moi! But it was still fun to play other babblers.

9:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i noticed that every round gave you 4 consonants and 2 vowels. true or coincidence?

9:44 pm

dcseain

coincidence, gwen

9:44 pm

lbdawger

Jellen, it really is a fun game, the challenge is between you and the computer, but also with the other players. it;s fun to see what words they got and ones you missed

9:45 pm

daykat

can I have a clue for ro6/30 please?

9:45 pm

Minveryork

I still have to get used to typing 3-letter words in LB.

9:46 pm

featherbee

curious....is there a carroll in here?

9:46 pm

Minveryork

I've se 4/4 all the words I needed to finish grid, so he 4/5 is my story of clues. I have this neighbor who re 5/10 the house next door. He re 4/8s of cigarrettes because he is ho4/9ed on them. The neighbor always comes over everyday se4/8ing cigarrettes. Husband wasn't too ke 4/8 on giving away his cigarrettes but he gave him some the first few times neighbor asked but then husband got ti 4/4d of it. He finally told him that a pack of cigarrettes co4/5s 9 dollars and 95 ce 5/12. He was since4/5 about it though. Cigarrettes are an as 5/10 to my hubby's life and he does not like giving them away all the time. I told hubby not to let neighbor en 5/10 the house because he may take his en 6/18 pack of cigarrettes or start charging fe 4/7 for his cigarrettes & stop giving them out for fr 4/7. The neighbor still comes over to ask but my husband just st 5/10s him away. His fe 4/7 does not know he smokes. She used to have fi 4/7 about his smoking. I witnessed an argument between him and his wife and it wasn't a pretty sc5/12.The wife would complain to me that the sh5/12 always smelled like an ashtray.He used to fr4/7 that she would leave him so he told her he quit, but he never did. I don't know how neighbor can hide smoking from his wife.I can smell the sc5/12 of ashes everytime he comes over. Sometimes I wish that we had a fe5/18 to block out the neighbors.Well I hope you could to find some more words with ea4/4 from my story. Now I am going to get off my ke 7/44 and onto my fe4/7 to take a shower.I'll be back later.

That's exactly what Edgar is doing at this moment...

oh -- YAY seain also! *sigh* it's late supper time here... highly distracted by my lovely salad.

11:07 pm

Minveryork

I eat supper late every night.Tonite I had pork chops

11:17 pm

stidmama

we're having left-over Chinese-Korean and salad.

11:17 pm

stidmama

I was going to make tamales, but I took a nap and by the time I woke up it was too late to get anything going.

11:19 pm

Jellen

Oooh, I am SO frustrated!

11:20 pm

Minveryork

Oh Jellen, so to hear you are so frustrated. Is it Tim?

11:20 pm

Minveryork

*sorry

11:21 pm

Jellen

Tim is downstairs...going to sleep on the couch tonight...he's getting sick into a bucket that I'll end up cleaning out (even though I said I wouldn't) and I'm not sure he would be getting sick if he took his meds properly...

11:21 pm

stidmama

(((jellen)))

11:22 pm

Jellen

I feel a little better now :-)

11:22 pm

stidmama

true, not taking medications at the right time or with the right timing relative to food and other meds can make it so much worse

11:22 pm

stidmama

can you line the bucket (next time) with a garbage bag to make cleanup quicker and easier?

11:23 pm

Jellen

Then he claims they don't work and won't take them...

11:23 pm

Minveryork

Does he realize not taking his meds right might make him sick Jellen?Why doesn't he take medicine properly

11:23 pm

Jellen

Too late this time...he and his brother came up with this idea...

11:23 pm

stidmama

argh. so very frustrating. have you spoken to his docs about this?

11:23 pm

Jellen

Good question, Min!

11:24 pm

Jellen

Not really...have hinted to the nurses...but I thought he was doing better...

11:25 pm

stidmama

there are strong psychological things that go on when a person is seriously ill (that I don't understand, but have had to deal with) -- the docs need to know if the meds aren't being taken correctly, especially since he is part of that trial.

11:26 pm

Minveryork

I agree w/stidmama. Doctors definitely need to know

11:26 pm

Jellen

Fortunately for the docs, the meds concerned aren't part of the trial...

11:27 pm

stidmama

that is good, but still it will help them tell which things are causing which symptoms

11:27 pm

Jellen

I'll try to communicate the problem through the nurses...don't see the doctor for 2 weeks...

11:30 pm

stidmama

that would be a good idea. they can help you figure out if tim needs to be seen sooner, too.

11:30 pm

stidmama

or if he needs additional services to help him cope with the yuckiness.

11:32 pm

Jellen

kje got in touch with a palliative care specialist at Tim's med center...I was going to see if they talked about it tomorrow...If not, I have his number...

11:32 pm

stidmama

kje is an angel!

11:32 pm

Jellen

Yes, she is!

11:34 pm

stidmama

so, what sorts of literature does Max prefer? *referring to earlier conversation suddenly and non-sequitorially*

11:34 pm

Jellen

New avante-garde literature and modern classics...

11:35 pm

Jellen

I try to convince her of the appeal of cozy mysteries, but she's a snob...

11:35 pm

stidmama

good choices *nods* does she eat choclits while reading? or savory treats? *grin* I have eaten everything I can get my hands on today.

11:36 pm

stidmama

ah, well, "cats" you know -- she probably has a penchant for black berets and turtlenecks...

11:36 pm

Jellen

No, she doesn't snack while reading...

11:36 pm

Jellen

lol

11:36 pm

stidmama

but I didn't read anything. I thought I would take a book when I go wait for the kiddo at the end of his rehearsal. They went until 11:30 last night.

11:37 pm

Jellen

Edgar has decided to immobilize my right arm just now...

11:37 pm

stidmama

edgar is max's partner in crime, I take it?

11:37 pm

Jellen

He's the older bro...

11:37 pm

Jellen

Not the literary type...

11:38 pm

stidmama

*perturbed mama look* what is it about "humans" that makes them think that humans can't be smart enough to build pyramids, solar observatories, etc.

11:38 pm

stidmama

oh sure. siblings can be SO different. my boys are worlds apart.

11:39 pm

Jellen

I downloaded an eReader for my iPhone...read a Christie mystery...in the dark!

11:39 pm

stidmama

I am watching a really stuuuupid show about crystal skulls and the "theories" about who made them, why and how they might come together some day and change the world...

11:39 pm

Jellen

Have the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ready to read, too...

11:39 pm

stidmama

very cool, jellen! I should do something like that for myself.

11:39 pm

stidmama

I'll be curious what you think of that book. It seems to be on everyone's list this summer.

11:40 pm

Jellen

So handy for doctor's offices, too...

11:40 pm

Jellen

Yes, my sister liked the series, and she has good taste...

11:40 pm

stidmama

I have the text of the constitution, and dante in the original on my phone.

11:40 pm

stidmama

but nothing "light" available.

11:41 pm

Jellen

Gutenberg.org has lots of classics available in various formats...

11:41 pm

stidmama

oh! that's a thought.

11:42 pm

stidmama

I hadn't considered them. I find it actually easier to read on the phone than on the compute for some reason. maybe because I can hold it closer to my eyes.

11:43 pm

Jellen

I think that's where I got the Christie...Secret Adversary...

11:43 pm

stidmama

yes, they even say they have things for android os

and very cute icon for you also tea.

11:45 pm

m9f9l

I was just playing math with the kids online. and then discussing with them (the 19 and the 14) what they thought the best approach would be working with a 14 yo.

11:45 pm

m9f9l

ah yes. what's the theme for tomorrow?

11:46 pm

TeaNCrackers

mine is very literal

11:46 pm

m9f9l

keeping in mind that it's a 14 yo who hasn't had same problem solving experiences as mine...

11:46 pm

stidmama

I think probably a combination of marshmallows and cages work well on 14 yo kids... LOL toss the marshmallows into the cage from a distance...

11:46 pm

stidmama

no idea on the theme m, I don't have the energy for that these days.

11:46 pm

m9f9l

nice stid.

11:46 pm

m9f9l

this is a foster kid that I"ll be tutoring

11:47 pm

m9f9l

I don't think marshmallows would go over so well with the foster parents...

11:47 pm

m9f9l

I'm all for it though!

11:47 pm

Minveryork

Hello m9f9l! How are you doing? Welcome back to grid

11:47 pm

m9f9l

mini marshmallows and toothpicks = hours (or at least a LOT of minutes) of fun!

11:48 pm

Minveryork

Hi TeaNCrackers! How are you? Welcome back to grid

11:48 pm

stidmama

oh, okay. well, the first thing I would do is play games with the kid that gets the brain working in mathematical ways -- but not stupid-dumb flashcard games.

11:48 pm

TeaNCrackers

hey min!

11:48 pm

stidmama

set, dominoes, yahtzee, monopoly....

11:49 pm

stidmama

I also like to use "pentominoes" and similar puzzles that engage the visual/artistic brain along with the mathematical/proportional brain

11:50 pm

m9f9l

yeah.. thing is, I don't have time to do a lot of the play games ground work.. he's at 3rd grade level, and *should* be at 7th or 8th.. so while we will have a LOT of fun, we need to take a kind of accelerated approach (and I'm going to suggest games to the foster parents)..

11:50 pm

Minveryork

Tomorrow's theme is palm beaches. About to change my icon. I found a nice palm beach picture on Yahoo.

11:51 pm

stidmama

I would look for ways to help the child see mathematics in authentic uses, not with the ubiquitous pizza division or travel story-problems, but along the lines of finding something in the child's life or environment that uses mathematical/proportional reasoning to help him see the way we actually use maqth

11:51 pm

m9f9l

yup stid. math is all around us.

11:51 pm

stidmama

schoolhouse rock has the "math" video and it's an amazing way to help kids memorize some of the straightforward math facts.

11:52 pm

m9f9l

tomorrow I'm just getting to know him.

11:52 pm

m9f9l

love schoolhouse rock.

11:52 pm

Minveryork

I love your stick people m9f9l, very funny. I didn't do theme today. Went with Mickey Mouse watch instead

11:52 pm

stidmama

HOWEVER (this is important) don't short-change the "how it works" in an attempt to just get to another skill...

11:53 pm

sandyloo

hi guys, I was just thinking about you stid - I was remembering your kindness when Nicky was sick and the postcard you sent - I really appreciated that

11:53 pm

m9f9l

hahahaha! LIke I would EVER shortchange the how-it-works!

11:53 pm

m9f9l

you so funny

11:53 pm

stidmama

m, there are some GREAT computer games (some online I think) that the child could use to reinforce math skills and thinking

11:53 pm

stidmama

(((sandy))) how are you doing today!!!

11:53 pm

Minveryork

Hi sandyloo! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

11:53 pm

m9f9l

always concept before process!

11:53 pm

stidmama

I know... but sometimes it is tempting. I wanted to give you support to stay focused on being a real mathematician as opposed to "doing math"

11:54 pm

sandyloo

finished this one, I wonder how many next - I guess 221

11:54 pm

m9f9l

*doing math*... just gag me.

11:54 pm

m9f9l

234

11:55 pm

stidmama

also, we had a sort of mystery computer game that was self-leveling for the boys when we homeschooled that I let them play to extend the practice. Unfortunately (or fortunately) drills actually DO work in math and music...

11:55 pm

m9f9l

I have looked at online math games. most are snoozers.

11:55 pm

m9f9l

we used to play math blasters. like that one. and the incredible brain (or something like that)... but those aren't online

11:56 pm

gremlinn

772

11:56 pm

stidmama

and cyberchase (PBS series) covers concepts and such with an engaging story line that helps to remember why and how to use concepts

11:56 pm

stidmama

YES! that was it! math blasters!

11:56 pm

m9f9l

we loved cyberchase.

11:56 pm

stidmama

I hope the next one won't be so huge... maybe 200. with at least one s or ing ending

11:56 pm

TeaNCrackers

my kids love cyberchase!

11:57 pm

Minveryork

My guess for next grid size is 110 words & hi gremlinn

11:57 pm

gremlinn
