I think I just hit the first wall at 22 words!

rubyfoo

and now you know my secret hahah

3:33 am

zoozzoom

3:35 am

rubyfoo

3:35 am

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

It's OK, no need to apologise. If you'd carried on I would have hidden the chog.

6:18 am

Eva

Eva

I don't think I've ever seen anything above 11 letters.

8:33 am

Aww, I'm sorry ;) just had no time! Life moves too quickly for a little guy like me.

8:34 am

Nancy Boy

Hi, JBV :) Thank you! Didn't realise I'd been missed :P

8:35 am

EvaNadine

i was thinking perhaps frank decided you werent allowed to play with us anymore + was keeping you all top himself...

8:35 am

JBV

so you've been to the other side of the world and back, and we are glad to see you again

8:36 am

Nancy Boy

Oh dear. I've only just got here and you're going to start embarrassing me right away? ;)

8:36 am

EvaNadine

its your punishment for staying away so long. ;)

8:37 am

Quillkdc

I have one word left... the grid says it is a c7, but the clues say it is a ca4. which one is it?

8:37 am

Nancy Boy

awww, well thanks JBV :) I've got to say, just visiting back home makes me appreciate England all over again!

8:38 am

phaeton

there is a caq7

8:38 am

phaeton

*ca7

8:38 am

Quillkdc

thanks. got a clue for it?

8:38 am

JBV

you could make a movie, NB - there's no place like home, you and Dorothy

8:39 am

phaeton

no, sorry

8:39 am

Nancy Boy

No place like home at all! Wonderful, cold, wet England. No place on the planet like good old London!

8:40 am

Quillkdc

guess i'll just have to figure it out...

8:40 am

JBV

isn't it great when you love where you are? I felt that way when I lived in NYC, not so much here in NJ

8:40 am

Nancy Boy

ca7 = a hole in a rock face + double cons + vowel. I can't clue; that'll either be unfathomable or ridiculously easy.

8:41 am

Quillkdc

Thanks NB!! Fireworks. My first ever.

8:41 am

EvaNadine

(((((((huggles NB)))))))

8:41 am

JBV

got it, thanks, NB!

8:41 am

JBV

yay, Quill!

8:42 am

Nancy Boy

Are you in a city now, JBV, or a smaller settlement? I think I'd really miss living in a city. Got friends who live in the country; have to wonder how they sleep without the traffic noise ;)

8:42 am

Nancy Boy

Aww Eva ;) I feel so loved!

8:42 am

Nancy Boy

Oh, and you're welcome, everyone!

8:42 am

Quillkdc

Sigh, I guess I have to leave now and buy butter.

8:43 am

JBV

i lived in central NJ - suburbia all the way - population of this town is about 40,000, but nothing's happening here - NYC is only about 30 miles away, but we don't get there too often

8:43 am

EvaNadine

you ARE loved, sweetness. :)

8:44 am

Nancy Boy

My understanding of the geography of the states leaves much to be desired ;)

8:45 am

crosshair

you would love my town NB right by a large bay,near a mtn,but after 9 pm you may as well roll up the sidewalks;0

8:45 am

Nancy Boy

awww :) well that is so sweet of you! I really can't believe your wedding is so close, now.

I have discovered something so cool recently, you can google a street view of most big cities and take a virtual "walk" downt he streets - i

8:46 am

Nancy Boy

Oh Crossy, I can't cope without the sounds of roaring traffic and drunks staggering past our building!

8:46 am

JBV

hi hurshy

8:47 am

EvaNadine

you and me both, NB!

8:47 am

hurshy

hi

8:47 am

Nancy Boy

Never tried streetview, but I have a real fixation with google earth. Couldn't tell you why!

8:47 am

Nancy Boy

City kids born and bred, Eva ;)

8:50 am

EvaNadine

when i first left for college, i couldnt fall asleep because i didnt hear the train go by at 10 every night!

8:51 am

hurshy

i feel so lonely. it's silly, i would normally be by myself right now at work, but, my husband is participating in a research study and has to be at the hospital all weekend for it, and even though i normally might not be with him right NOW, i miss him already for the rest of the weekend.

8:52 am

JBV

sounds like a nice thing to put in a note and give it to him when you see him

8:53 am

hurshy

oh, i already told him last night :) lol

8:53 am

JBV

ok :)

8:54 am

JBV

so do something nice for yourself and you won't be watching the clock

Hi babble friends!

(unsolicited advice from someone who longs for a few minutes of alone time)

8:55 am

Nancy Boy

I know what you mean, Hurshy. Sweet sentiment :)

8:57 am

hurshy

i will probably spend some time with my grandparents, as i'm trying to do that more often anyway.

8:58 am

JBV

there is an adorable commercial on TV with little kids and their grandparents (I don't even remember the product - i think it's insurance or something) - capture the special relationship so perfectly

9:00 am

hurshy

woohoo, monkeyed the 7!

9:04 am

EvaNadine

*yawn*
might be time for an advil, if this niggling headache doesnt go away...

9:05 am

hurshy

do, evanadine - recent studies have shown that taking ibuprofen when you have various aches over the course of your life, reduces your later risk of something big like alzheimer's or heart disease or something.

9:07 am

hurshy

or should i say "may reduce" - that's the official language, right? :)

9:08 am

EvaNadine

oh, i take plenty of advil. i am prone to headaches, thanks to my TMJ. hopefully i can meet with my dentist (a TMJ specialist) after the wedding and get this course started for fixing these issues!

9:09 am

hurshy

have you already been using a nightguard to no avail?

9:11 am

JBV

fireworks! take care, Eva - and bye everyone -

redturtlehead

It's good Mom. I'm moving to day shift in one week and we will see how that goes. I started 4 months ago.

10:33 am

Mom

I knew you were on nights but for some reason I thought day shift started this week

10:34 am

redturtlehead

It starts I think on Wednesday. I have one night shift left on Monday.

10:34 am

Mom

I hope you will enjoy it

10:34 am

I'm sure it will be an adjustment! I hope I enjoy it too!

10:34 am

How are you?

10:35 am

after being on nights all this time, it is bound to be. Did you ever have a second date with that guy?

10:35 am

Mom

I am fine, so hoping for rain. But life here is good

10:36 am

redturtlehead

I decided against it. he is a little strange and I think the effort he was requiring was not worth it...sadly, or maybe not so sadly!

10:36 am

always surprised that Nano is not a word.

10:41 am

Oh how frustrating. really awful. but at least the deposit was refunded!

tough little grid,1 more and i can list:) never thought i would have to list with a 60 word grid:/

11:34 am

helensgirlkid

I was lucky enough to winkle out enough last night to leave (mostly) one word to find between two - the constraints of the grid itself limits the monkeying around a lot! But where I've got two words together between two others, it's harder to keep the constraints in mind!

11:35 am

helensgirlkid

But I never considered not listing once I had about 30 and was totally stalled.

11:36 am

5:03 pm

KayteeJay

5:03 pm

5:04 pm

Dorens

chimichurri sauce

5:04 pm

KayteeJay

jilli> How does one know what the daily theme is?

5:04 pm

varumba

took me a while to decipher what you meant though, LMAO.... do you have to be "pro"though to have access to icons?

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

not so funny i was biting everyone's head off instead

5:04 pm

varumba

nope, but i do now :D

5:04 pm

Dorens

5:04 pm

jillibus

5:04 pm

jmcnrick

5:05 pm

KayteeJay

Dorens> Salmon comes in tins unless you're very rich - not good on the fire

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

no sorry dorens it is left over from pet day

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

[hangs head in shame]

5:05 pm

Dorens

no varumba, but becoming pro is highly recommended for many reasons, the least of which is the fact that this is worth far far more than the measly $15!

5:05 pm

varumba

wow cool the features on this site!

5:05 pm

varumba

mb i will invest ;)

5:05 pm

Dorens

no, tinned salmon is good for salmon cakes or salmon spread

5:05 pm

jillibus

good idea, var!

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

and you get pretty fireworks when you complete the grid

5:06 pm

varumba

5:07 pm

KayteeJay

Dorens> When you do, please make sure I'm around to reap the benefit :)

5:07 pm

5:35 pm

KayteeJay

Well, you know who I mean -- the big almost-winner

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

grandy

oh laptops are great .. the battery life leaves much to be desired....

5:38 pm

jillibus

Well, I'm talking about Live, I guess

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

varumba

you need to let the battery run itself down regularly to kep its lifespan good

5:38 pm

KayteeJay

My laptop is plugged into the mains when I'm in bed - best of both worlds, lol

5:39 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

5:40 pm

KayteeJay

George> It doesn't seem the same - can't seem to get all the icons I used before. But I haven't tried much the last year or two, I'll admit. No longer have anyone to talk to

5:40 pm

5:41 pm

jillibus

every night???

5:41 pm

KayteeJay

I rely on my daughter to run my battery down regularly .. when we're sitting in the lounge and she's catching up on her Gmail and Facebook

5:41 pm

varumba

would be ideal

5:41 pm

varumba

twice a week would be good i suppose

5:41 pm

grandy

well I do not have a choice --- off I go to get the darn power cord.

5:42 pm

jillibus

hmmm. I'll unplug it now!

5:42 pm

it's a programme of some sort

6:00 pm

KayteeJay

thankee

6:00 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

for doing this puzzle, not sure how it works?

6:00 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

I don't have it, never seen it

6:01 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

think it's like a special babble browser!?

6:01 pm

Jillyjill

Welcome to all the new folk. Are you currently using the lickety link at bottom of page?

6:02 pm

Jillyjill

You can find Lickety's email there and request Babbble expert, yes it is a browser than combines babble with lickety clues to one page.

6:02 pm

Jillyjill

Quite the grid today folks....

6:03 pm

welki

jilly .. what do you need to know about expert?

6:03 pm

welki

(i don't know if lickety will keep expert going once the new babble is released)

6:04 pm

welki

(and it's not compatible with mac)

6:04 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, I seem to be working fine with it...it seems easler. Has anyone heard when the new babble comes out? And yes, I knew the Mac incompatibility.

6:05 pm

welki

kaytee, until you have expert, what you can do is load lickety's list in a new window and tile this screen (large) next to it (narrow) ... that way, you can toggle between both and see both at the same time

6:06 pm

welki

as george said, you can copy and paste your word list into lickety's to see what you're missing (paste into the first empty text box .. bulk add)

6:07 pm

welki

(and now i'll shut up :)

6:09 pm

welki

later, folks

6:10 pm

Jillyjill

See ya welki!!

6:10 pm

jillibus

Just popped back in for a mo. I'm an Expert devotee -- it's wonderful and puts everything on one page, plus it has the Lickety Add box where if you type one word it goes to both your Word List and to Lickety'slist in the right place, and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat. And there are links to morewords and a2z up at the top in Resources, plus several other features. Just email Lickety and ask for it -- it's free.

6:11 pm

jillibus

Any questions?

6:12 pm

jillibus

Wow -- did I scare everyone away?

6:12 pm

Jillyjill

No but thanks jilli, really liking it so far!!

8:38 pm

LeslieAnn

woohoo, only 4s left, looking good for listless (with quite a bit of help) :)

8:38 pm

welki

wait

8:38 pm

crosshair

been using metric too long now

8:38 pm

LeslieAnn

i think it's just 2,000 pounds

8:38 pm

welki

2000 pounds = a ton .. sorry typohead

8:38 pm

welki

i should know *lol*

8:39 pm

crosshair

with just the states holding out with imperial mease,i do not get much chance to use it anymore

8:39 pm

LeslieAnn

you don't sound too self-confident today weiki!

8:39 pm

crosshair

measure

8:39 pm

welki

sure i am, leslie ... confident and based in reality :)

8:40 pm

welki

<-- is from the states, knows all about u.s. units of measurement

8:41 pm

crosshair

beer will always be in pints and fish caught in pounds but other than that im all metric now lol

8:42 pm

LeslieAnn

what is the point total today?

8:42 pm

crosshair

716

8:43 pm

LeslieAnn

fireworks!

8:43 pm

crosshair

and believe it or not,most of the 4,s are actual words,not babblets

8:43 pm

crosshair

yaa for leslie!!!

8:43 pm

welki

i have to do conversions at work all the time ... linear and weight ... when i first came to canada, i cried in the meat aisle of the market because of the metric weight and currency exchange. i just couldn't figure out exactly what i was paying for two pork chops ... that i didn't know how much they weight

8:43 pm

welki

weighed

8:44 pm

welki

wtg leslie!

8:44 pm

dan2bit

evening all

8:44 pm

welki

hi, dan

8:44 pm

LeslieAnn

yes that's what made this list doable listless, a lot of real words

8:44 pm

crosshair

lol,we were pounds only here till 78 then went fully metric.i can remember the chaos welki

8:44 pm

crosshair

howdy dan

8:45 pm

dan2bit

gah stupid volcano I never see

8:45 pm

welki

don't know what it's like in ontario, but here in the groceries, weights are displayed in both pounds and kilos

8:46 pm

crosshair

yea,that icelandic volcano always stumps me as well dan:))) lol

8:46 pm

crosshair

metric only welki

8:46 pm

welki

except on the actual packaging .. for instance, the sign will say $18.99/ kg or $7.99/lb .. but the package will only be in metric, so you don't know exactly how many pounds you're purchasing .. v. confusing

8:47 pm

crosshair

all you need to keep in the back of your mind is 1 kilo=2.2 pounds and the rest will come

8:47 pm

welki

luckily, i picked up on the conversions pretty quickly, so i do okay :)

8:48 pm

dan2bit

9:21 pm

stidmama

I did wimp out one class period which was just a video today... since there were 4 other adults in the room I excused myself to my empty classroom and sat to work for a bit.

9:21 pm

Minveryork

Stidmama, sorry to hear you are sick. Hope you feel better soon. I've taught while sick before too; no fun

9:22 pm

Pinikula

Nice gift

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Ca6/21 believe I accomplished the fe 4/7 of finishing grid in less than a half hour, but I did. Ev4/7 though most are already done, here's a story of clues. When I was younger I had very bad ac4/5 on my fa 4/8. All the kids in the na 4/6 teased me a lot. I just wanted to hide in a ca 4/8 and never come out. When my ac 4/5 disappeared years later, I wanted to re 6/30 all of those that teased me & get some kind of rev 5/20 on them. But I knew that if I av 6/33d all those that teased me, I'd be no better than them, so I ve 4/7ed that idea. I hope you took no4/4 of some of my clues and found some more words. I'm going to va6/30 my seat and take a break. I will be back later&wait with ba4/6d breath for others to get their fireworks. BBL

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jellen! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

9:55 pm

lbdawger

does the glass frog have any special meaning, nrkii?

9:55 pm

nrkii

lbd, I don't know

9:56 pm

Nef

A glass frog? One for holding flower stems; or a pretty trinket?

9:56 pm

nrkii

I am hoping some nice guy left it and it's a message (ha ha)

9:56 pm

nrkii

a pretty trinket, Nef

9:56 pm

lbdawger

maybe someone thinks you can kiss it into a prince?

9:56 pm

nrkii

like a paperweight

9:57 pm

nrkii

if only that would work, lbd

9:57 pm

lbdawger

i'm hoping for the romantic side of this mystery, nrkii

9:57 pm

Nef

You know, I think that's pretty neat! I wouldn't mind a glass frog on my doorstep! ;-)

9:57 pm

lbdawger

and if the sending is a toad, you can whack him on the head with the paperweight! lol

9:57 pm

Nef

9:58 pm

9:58 pm

Nef

Ooops! sorry. Off to the PB for me!

nrkii

I am mystified... the boring scenario is that it was my neighbor, who I did a small favor for last week

9:59 pm

Jillyjill

hi dawg, looks like it's going to get chilly tonight!

9:59 pm

lbdawger

well, ev4 if it was the neighbor, it's still a fun thing to ponder

9:59 pm

nrkii

the romantic side is that some nice guy (who hopefully is not a stalker seeing he knows where I live) left it in hopes of a kiss

9:59 pm

lbdawger

it's been chilly all week up here, Jilly. I'm wearing fleece!

10:00 pm

10:39 pm

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

Hello

10:40 pm

hurshy

i want to order a sleepshirt online, there's no size chart for it, it comes in small, medium, and large, and i don't know what to order. i'm usually like a size 10 ... 38" bust...

10:41 pm

Jillyjill

If you want looser for sleep, go for large, but medium should do you fine

10:41 pm

herinfernallady

Can you ask them what the sizing is?

10:41 pm

hurshy

i don't think i want it too loose, then it gets all twisted up. thanks jilly

10:43 pm

Nef

Congrats on your firewqorks, Jilly. (I was off making the bed so DH could go to bed; he'd stripoped the bed today and it will be nice to crawl in clean sheets tonight!

10:44 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Nef.

10:44 pm

Nef

hi herin! Hi hurshy!

10:44 pm

Jillyjill

Sweet Nef!! So he had a good day today!!

10:44 pm

herinfernallady

Is anyone here a doctor or nurse and can answer me this question of when does one find out one is pregnant with twins? (NOT Me either)

10:46 pm

Nef

herin, we do ultrasounds at my clinic and we've seen twins at 7-8 weeks. However, it's possible to lose one that early too and so the pregnancy ends up as a singleton

10:46 pm

Jillyjill

I am...usually with first ultrasound around 6-8 weeks

10:46 pm

Nef

herin, both Jilly and I are nurses. :-)

10:47 pm

herinfernallady

Wow. I guess my friend is just going to have to wait till that point. Twins run on all 3 sides of her family.

10:47 pm

Nef

(I much prefer the first US at 9-12 weeks for that reason

10:47 pm

Jillyjill

Just glad it isn't you herin...lol

10:48 pm

Nef

3 sides of her family???

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

Mum Dad and Partners side

10:48 pm

Jillyjill

well, and you know usn's miss things occasionally

10:48 pm

Jillyjill

I lost one at 14 weeks

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

:( Jilly

10:48 pm

Nef

I had a gal come in for an ultrasound recently and swhe was pregnant with her 3rd set of twins in 4 pregnancies!

10:49 pm

herinfernallady

Wow Nef.

10:49 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I'll get to see her in heaven!! :)

10:49 pm

Nef

Jilly, have you ever noticed how many nurses miscarry?

10:49 pm

Jillyjill

yeouch!! Had a family friend who had twins first and triplets second...there wasn't a third pregnancy!!

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

I have to run down to the baby store soon and get all the prices for my friends baby to be car seat. They don't have a car but I said to her what if you needed to use one

10:50 pm

Nef

Gee... I wonder why? ;-)

10:50 pm

Jillyjill

It has crossed my mind, on the other hand, we were living on an Air Force base and about 14 women in our parish had miscarriages, I always wondered

10:52 pm

Nef

Nurses have a higher than average number of miscarriages; research showed probably related to stress, heavy lifting, and no breaks

10:53 pm

Nef

so if the ladies on the AF base didn't have a little stress, what else could it be?

10:54 pm

herinfernallady

My friend told me that she didn't need a car seat for the baby as they have no car. I told her what if you do need it for the odd occasion like a cab ride. I am such a mum

10:54 pm

Jillyjill

I actually wasn't working as a nurse at that time. Had a job directing music program at parish, but was helping to set up a Hospice Center there

10:55 pm

Nef

herin; you are a very wise friend. She WILL need a car seat

10:55 pm

Jillyjill

YOu are herin...you should look for the kind that are car seat/baby seat combo...they can use it for more things

10:56 pm

herinfernallady

I got one from next door but I do need the innards for it

10:57 pm

herinfernallady

And it isn't an infant capsule either

10:58 pm

Jillyjill

well, since no one seems to need clues, I'm going to bow out and come back for flip...see you all later!!

10:59 pm

Nef

herin, if you can get a carseat stroller combo that would be perfect

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

I think they have all that stuff

10:59 pm

Nef

bye for now, Jilly

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

And I figure that this would be used as a stop gap method. I need to do all the pricing this arvo

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

Bye Jili

11:02 pm

Nef

check this out, herin: http://www.nextag.com/stroller-and-car
-seat-in-one/search-html

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks I will have a look at that today

11:06 pm

herinfernallady

There is 2 things I know about babies. They are loud and poopy

11:06 pm

Nef

and soft and cuddly; very demanding and fill your heart wityh love! :-)

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

I know. And the new borns have new baby smell

11:07 pm

Nef

yep. So your friend is having a baby; are you getting scared yet?

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

This one is due in October. SUPER excited Aunty

11:08 pm

Nef

your sister?

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

No best friend

11:09 pm

Nef

okay. How old is the couple?

11:10 pm

herinfernallady

30s

11:11 pm

Nef

Offer to babysit while they sleep every so often. I don't think any expectant parents realize how little sleep they'll get once that baby is home

11:11 pm

herinfernallady

I will do that. I ahve already offered to cook and stuff

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

I am already in trouble for buying too much :D

11:12 pm

Nef

line up some friends to bring in a hot supper each evening for 1-2 weeks once they're home. It's amazing how such little things can make such a huge difference

11:13 pm

herinfernallady

I think they are covered with all that lots of siblings on his side

11:13 pm

herinfernallady

At least the coffee shop is a short walk from their place so if they need a break I can visit and mind and know they are 10 min around the corner

11:14 pm

Nef

ok. Grocery shopping the first 2 weeks (they can provide the $$; but you provide the grunt work

11:14 pm

herinfernallady

They know that I am up for lots of help. I helped him when he had a stroke a few years ago

11:16 pm

Nef

he's had a stroke at that young an age? Yowsers!

11:19 pm

Nef

vane

11:19 pm

Nef

oops! sorry! <slinking back to the PB again>

11:21 pm

herinfernallady

Nef yes he did but he is ok

11:22 pm

Nef

What caused his stroke?

11:22 pm

herinfernallady

Brain bleed

11:22 pm

herinfernallady

He was about 28 at the time.

11:23 pm

Nef

aneurysm?

11:23 pm

herinfernallady

Yep

11:23 pm

Nef

I'm glad he's doing okay now

11:24 pm

herinfernallady

Same. He is my bestest friend and like my big brother. AND I am still super excited about this baby

11:25 pm

Nef

I don't blame you then.

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

Yep.

11:26 pm

herinfernallady

(awww my b.f is talking to one of my oldest friends on the phone)

11:27 pm

Nef

11:27 pm

herinfernallady

It is nice when the boys get along.

11:27 pm

herinfernallady

And in the time he is on the phone I am nearly done

11:28 pm

Nef

11:28 pm

herinfernallady

Nef

11:30 pm

Nef
