12:07 am

jillibus

I usually use Firefox but for some reason Babble defaults to IE.

12:08 am

dcseain

if you use expert, that makes sense, as expert runs in IE

12:08 am

jillibus

Yet Lickety's page used to say it works best with Firefox. Don't know if it still does.

12:09 am

Erda

I finally got it to load...SO boring!!

12:09 am

jillibus

good, Erda -- how did you do it?

12:09 am

cybernan

reading chog -- I went back to IE 8 as well, but use firefox for this

12:10 am

VolleymomDee

en 8 x 2

12:10 am

Erda

Just kept going in and out until I (almost) got blue in the face...

12:11 am

MLFAN17

cyber in general do you like firefox better then IE?

12:12 am

dcseain

I like FF over IE by far.

12:12 am

dcseain

on Mack, i like Chrome, FF, Safari, in that order.

12:12 am

joshuavorbis

at this point the only reason to use ie instead of ff is if a very important site to you works only with ie, or if you are not willing to make small adjustments to get used to another browser

12:13 am

MLFAN17

i hsve used both

12:13 am

joshuavorbis

firefox is vastly superior to ie in every way except for very specific and rare site compatibility issues

12:13 am

cybernan

fe 7

12:13 am

MLFAN17

I dont liek firefox but IE seems to get worse the higher the versions go

stidmama

12:29 am

stidmama

hm... interesting clues...

12:29 am

dcseain

i know people with that LE5 as a surname.

12:30 am

cybernan

looking for all these french words, but not seeing them - just one that is also commonly used in english

12:31 am

jillibus

that le5 is French for "light, frivolous". It's also a misspelling of an accounts book.

12:31 am

cybernan

oh - yes forgot about that one

12:31 am

joshuavorbis

it is also the surname of a wonderful french avantgarde filmmaker from the 1920s

12:31 am

joshuavorbis

but that is a bit too obscure to clue

12:33 am

VolleymomDee

help with l in the 3rd column please

12:43 am

1:17 am

dcseain

esp in TN and VA

1:17 am

hootowl

I'm in Memphis but our storms sneak up on us so I've made a habit of disconnectind power before bed. Somedays I'm not sure I can finish because they are on-and-off!

VolleymomDee

yqw

1:23 am

dcseain

i've not had that yet, hoot, but it's looking like the server may want a reboot.

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

hmmm wonder if the server is about ready to implode...

1:25 am

dcseain

WOW! I already have 7 of the 8s. it's rare for me to have so many already.

1:25 am

hootowl

Feel like I'm back on Yahoo sometimes. Comcast stood us up today. this thing is so slow it's slower than the very first ones I used when I started using cmps!

dcseain

g'night hoot.

1:28 am

dcseain

dee, are you a realtor, and/or do you own the house you've been posting?

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

I was a realtor in the 70's and early 80's, but I let my license go inactive. The house I post is ours. My hubby built it in 1978-79.

1:29 am

negativeneil

Hi Seain.

1:30 am

dcseain

I gather yall moved?

1:30 am

dcseain

evening, neil

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

May I ask why you ask? Nope, unfortunately, ours has not sold.

1:31 am

jillibus

Icon clue posted --please refresh or go out and back in if you're interested.

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

gorgeous icon jili

1:32 am

dcseain

just curious. such a lovely house, and i know you've been trying to sell.

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

We would be glad to sell it to you, dc!

1:33 am

jillibus

thanks, dee :-)

1:34 am

dcseain

:) yes, but that would require moving out there, or being very absent landlords.

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

terribly frustrated dc. We are taking it off in October if it hasn't sold. I refuse to go through the holidays and upcoming wedding and have to worry about showings.

1:34 am

dcseain

makes sense to remove it and relist come Spring if that's the case, yes.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

might be fun... our county has 100 lakes; pop of about 67,000 for the county.... 2 hours from Chicago

1:35 am

jillibus

Why do you want to sell such a lovely house your husband actually built, dee?

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

2 hours from Indianapolis...

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

The master bedroom is on the second floor, jii, and I am trying to get rid of stairs... (rheumatoid and fibromyalgia are not going to get better as time passes)

1:37 am

jillibus

get one of those ride-up-the stairs things, dee!

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

So we don't HAVE to sell immediately.... just hoped it would all fall into place quickly... surprised it hasn't since we priced so low

1:38 am

dcseain

yes, it is QUITE the house at that price. OTOH, such home would cost 600k or so where i live, so what do i know.

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

that may be the solution in the end... I was just excited about a new chapter... we have been here 32 years...

1:38 am

jillibus

friends of mine have done that -- she had a bd knee (now replaced) and he had a stroke.

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

yes, dc, other family and friends have said similar things...

1:39 am

rururocks

I may have to skip stairs myself dee

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

since the stairs is an open stairs, it would be tricky to get that accomplished

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

why ru?

1:39 am

rururocks

I have to have knee surgery..

1:39 am

jillibus

knees, ruru?

1:39 am

rururocks

I wrecked my knee

1:40 am

dcseain

one or both knees, ru?

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

awwww playing tennis?

1:40 am

rururocks

both

1:40 am

jillibus

which wrecked your tennis???

1:40 am

rururocks

new chapter in my life.. no more tennis

1:40 am

dcseain

oooh, big change.

1:41 am

jillibus

oh, bummer, ruru -- you've loved that game!

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

so sad for you ru.... just had a friend who had a knee replacement here... we are the orthopedic capital of the world...

1:41 am

rururocks

yeah.. i just had xrays.. bad news

1:41 am

dcseain

very sorry to hear that

1:41 am

jillibus

Maybe after the replacements and rehab you'll be back on the courts

1:42 am

rururocks

i'm in agony right now.. my left knee feels like it has a hot railroad spike in it

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

big huge ouch... pain meds?

1:43 am

rururocks

not helping dee

1:43 am

jillibus

Oh dear

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

so very sorry ru...maybe babble will help give you a diversion... are you icing it?

1:44 am

dcseain

which meds have they given you? There's a whole world of them, and our culture is stingy with them.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

when will you have surgery?

1:44 am

negativeneil

Couldn't agree more with your bio, rururocks... said much the same thing in an update I posted.

1:44 am

rururocks

dunno.. when I can take enough time off work

1:44 am

rururocks

and afford it I guess

1:44 am

negativeneil

Sorry about your pain.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

you won't want to wait long with all that pain...

1:44 am

rururocks

thanks neil..

1:45 am

negativeneil

Did you see what else I said ruru? About your bio?

1:46 am

rururocks

I am so disappointed in the political system in the US.. Haz once said.. how silly it is that we change presidents and waste so much money every four years. I am beginning to see the wisdom in that.

1:46 am

rururocks

yes neil.. it's scary the candidates that are running for president. really creepy republicans and i'm not happy with Obama

1:47 am

dcseain

Wish we could legislate a shorter mandatory campaign season like in many other countries.

1:47 am

dcseain

Obama seems the least of the evils for the time being :/

1:47 am

jillibus

It's the long long campaigning that seems to waste so much time and distract from getting things done.

1:47 am

rururocks

I'm not so sure anymore DC.. where's his backbone

1:47 am

dcseain

i agree, jilli

1:48 am

rururocks

he really hasn't stepped up for gay rights.. sorta wishy-washy on that also

1:48 am

negativeneil

Know what's really scary, ruru? This:

(Shar
ed by Seain on Google+)

1:49 am

negativeneil

Not sure how that got broken up, but oh well.

1:49 am

jillibus

Obama has my sympathy, facing those intransigent Tea Partiers who have taken over the Republicans.

1:49 am

rururocks

the Tea Party people are idiots.. but that's not the total problem jilli

1:50 am

dcseain

yes, backbone is a problem indeed.

1:50 am

negativeneil

Oh don't get me started about them!

1:52 am

negativeneil

I wrote an article about them after attending one of their protests in Washington DC two years ago. Shot some video footage of one of them... you saw that one Seain. Headshake! Idiot isn't the word.

1:53 am

negativeneil

And have you seen this interview, ruru?
http://t.co/1CXHENe

1:53 am

rururocks

guantanamo is still in business.. the entire middle east hates us.. we don't deserve to be in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are losing soldiers everyday for what?.. the economy is in shambles, I can't believe how difficult it is to do biz in this country right now.

1:53 am

negativeneil

If that link works... think it should. My brother used it to shorten the Youtube URL and it works from his post.

1:54 am

rururocks

your brother?

1:54 am

negativeneil

Yes, ruru. It's a huge mess.

1:54 am

negativeneil

Yes, he posted the link to that video in a network we're on.

1:55 am

negativeneil

The Michele Bachmann interview. She's unbelievable.

1:55 am

rururocks

oh..

1:55 am

rururocks

she is freakin scary..

1:55 am

rururocks

she makes palin look like vanilla pudding

1:55 am

rururocks

... with lipstick...

1:56 am

negativeneil

Scary isn't the word for her.

1:56 am

negativeneil

Frightening, terrifying is a little more apt.

1:56 am

negativeneil

http://t.co/1CXHENe

1:57 am

jillibus

Likewise Rick Perry...

1:57 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm listening to her tell lies in that interview you linked, It's disgusting.

1:57 am

rururocks

yes..he's a freak too jill.. what rock do these people crawl out from?

1:57 am

negativeneil

Isn't it though?

1:58 am

negativeneil

Notice how she skirts around and tries to avoid answering the guy, about her homophobia?

1:58 am

SamanthaJoy

"Skirts around" my flabby white ass. She's lying.

Perry crawled out of Haskell, TX

1:59 am

rururocks

ugh

1:59 am

dcseain

you said it, Samantha

1:59 am

rururocks

he creeps me out too

1:59 am

negativeneil

Of course she is, Samantha. Blatantly... pants on fire.

2:00 am

rururocks

I think Bachmann's husband is a little scary too

2:00 am

negativeneil

No kidding, ruru.

2:00 am

SamanthaJoy

If y'all want something to giggle about, take a look at the ad a Ron Paul supporter recently took out in a Texas weekly: http://tinyurl.com/3egu5k5

2:00 am

rururocks

what is wrong with the Repulican party where all they offer up are these lunatics and whackos?

2:01 am

dcseain

Ron Paul is the sane one among the R contenders it seems.

2:02 am

dcseain

Heavens know, ruru

2:02 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, if you can ignore the screaming racism, sure. But I have a hard time with that.

2:02 am

negativeneil

Exactly, ruru.

2:02 am

rururocks

how is the Christian right gaining so much clout in america?

2:04 am

jillibus

Wow, that's some ad, Samantha!

2:04 am

jillibus

What about John Huntsman -- he seems reasonably sane.

2:04 am

SamanthaJoy

I can't decide whether it's the Star Wars font that makes it so funny, or the fine print at the bottom, or just the fact that it was designed at all

2:05 am

negativeneil

Good question, ruru... can't understand it.

2:05 am

dcseain

I've said for decades the the Dixiecrats hijacked the Republicans, and look what that got us.

2:05 am

SamanthaJoy

Didn't John Huntsman come in pretty low in the straw poll? Is he even a serious candidate?

2:06 am

jillibus

He did, but that was in Iowa.

2:06 am

dcseain

We'll see how New Hampshire shakes out.

2:06 am

jillibus

Wasn't it?

2:06 am

rururocks

I am never going to Iowa ..ever

2:06 am

dcseain

the Ames Straw Poll is non-binding and a historically poor predictor of later results.

2:06 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh GOOD

2:07 am

negativeneil

Oh that ad is funny, Samantha!

2:07 am

negativeneil

I don't think I'll bother either, ruru.

2:07 am

SamanthaJoy

Are YOU covering up anything about Rick Perry, Neil? LMAO

2:07 am

negativeneil

Unless I have to for work... only reason.

2:08 am

negativeneil

Why would I be, Samantha?

2:08 am

SamanthaJoy

It was pretty much a random question. He seemed to accuse just about everyone, didn't he?

2:08 am

dcseain

Have yall seen Perry's TX A&M Transcript: http://tinyurl.com/3uhy3n8

2:09 am

negativeneil

Pretty much, haha.

2:10 am

rururocks

it's too bad Hunter S. Thompson isn't alive to cover this election

2:10 am

negativeneil

I'd love to share an article of mine but... ugh. You'd probably enjoy it though rururocks. You're read it Seain. My failed attempt to infiltrate the Tea Party?

2:10 am

SamanthaJoy

I have. But in all honesty, there's so much else going against him that "poor student" doesn't even ping my radar.

2:10 am

dcseain

indeed, ru

2:10 am

dcseain

agreed, samantha, but i found it entertaining.

2:11 am

SamanthaJoy

You miss Gonzo? I miss Molly Ivins.

2:11 am

dcseain

increasing numbers of my peers are moving to Australia.

2:11 am

dcseain

Molly is well missed

2:11 am

rururocks

I don't blame them DC

2:12 am

cosdem

sorry to bother butin eed a clue for the first al7

2:12 am

SamanthaJoy

As someone else said, Ron Paul looks to be the sanest one running, and his racism is so over the top and scary that I can't take *him* seriously.

2:21 am

rururocks

I don't blame them DC

2:22 am

jillibus

Well, that was a long hiccup -- wiped out my post.

2:23 am

dcseain

Cos, beer + vowel + man's name, add vowel to end for 8

2:23 am

dcseain

quito, so, Samantha

2:23 am

jillibus

Canada's doing ok, but I worry about Harper.

2:24 am

dcseain

quite, so, Samantha

2:24 am

dcseain

why is that, jill?

2:25 am

dcseain

Cos, beer + vowel + man's name, add vowel to end for 8

2:26 am

jillibus

He seems to be getting more like the Republicans in his ideas. He is arrogant and "my way or the highway"ish.

2:27 am

I'm getting more error messages than I'm getting words through. That's bad on a big grid.

2:34 am

dizgrannie

Samantha, same thing here...I just had to reboot

2:37 am

SamanthaJoy

Think maybe the outage was dr_god's way of telling us not to talk politics on his site? ;)

2:44 am

negativeneil

Uh oh. Was it?

2:45 am

negativeneil

I couldn't even enter anything in the chat for a while.

2:45 am

SamanthaJoy

Heh. More likely a power outage where ever the servers are.

2:45 am

dizgrannie

I was enjoying reading all the comments on American politics...LOL seems the same here in Aus

2:46 am

I'm losing my fire. It's past my bed time. G'night, y'all.

Scrabbler

Is anyone near you?

7:39 am

Riverdance

come on over soodle - you can stay with me

7:40 am

Riverdance

I know - easier said than done - I didnt have the funds to take me to philly when they had the meet there

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Do you know that I have never been to Boston? Cape Cod twice though.

7:40 am

Soodlebum

Shucks, thanks River :-).

7:50 am

uusue2

I managed to trip over my own feet (well, and a small bump in the sidewalk), and now am kind of bummed about it

7:50 am

Riverdance

always wanted to do one of those duck boat tours...some day

7:51 am

uusue2

my knees have been getting worse and I really want to ignore them

7:51 am

uusue2

duck boats would be fun :-)

7:51 am

Riverdance

did you ice them

7:51 am

uusue2

no, I ignored them :-)

7:51 am

robbie09

duck boats?sounds fun!

7:51 am

Riverdance

NOT good sue - you need to take care of them

7:52 am

robbie09

hope your knees feel better

7:52 am

uusue2

they've already been replaced, I'm not sure if icing would help

7:52 am

Riverdance

duck boat on wheels - does the tour around the city in and out of the water...pretty cool

7:52 am

Riverdance

did the replacement not work so well?

7:52 am

Judi

Duck boats are fun. We did one in Baltimore and one in San Antonio.

7:53 am

robbie09

that sounds awesome River!

7:53 am

uusue2

second one never quite healed right (at least not as well as the first) but now they are both achy and getting weak (they collapse under me sometimes)

7:53 am

Riverdance

maybe if we have a babble meetup there, we can do that

7:53 am

Riverdance

sorry to hear that sue - have you been back to the ortho

7:54 am

uusue2

there are duck boats in the Wisconsin Dells also, which look like fun (as opposed to the rest of the Dells, which is a total tourist trap)

7:54 am

robbie09

Count me in on the duck boat tour!

7:54 am

uusue2

no, river, but I am starting to think about it; of course the ortho that did them is not on my current insurance plan :-(

7:54 am

Riverdance

it might be good to get another opinion anyway

7:55 am

uusue2

I know, I just want to pretend that they will get better

7:55 am

robbie09

sorry to hear that sue

need one of the bu 5/16's... have the one that means wind

3:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I only have one and I don't know what it means.

3:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ah, it's a seal attached to an official document.

3:02 pm

dianedecoder

don't have a bu5 yet

3:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Whatta you mean-a/ Thatta lotta bu***!

3:04 pm

sammysmom

no- that is the first bu 5/16

3:04 pm

sammysmom

i need the second or third bu 5/16

3:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

sorreeee.

3:05 pm

bichon

isn't a seal attached to a document an indicia?

3:06 pm

kje

pe7?

3:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it is also a blisterlike or bubblelike prominence of a bone, as that of the tympanic bone in the skull of certain mammals

3:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So I hear,

3:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's a word I use daily.

3:09 pm

Soodlebum

From Alice in Wonderland to the typanic bone in the skulls of certain mammals. Where else, but in Babble! Greetings all :-)

3:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Funny, the same exact conversation happened on facebook this morning.

3:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not really.

3:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

apparently another meaning of the bu5 is an ancient Roman pendant, consisting of a rounded box containing an amulet. Such a handy word.

3:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There are some words that are really unecessary.

3:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If I used it in a conversation, I would be asked "what the hell is a bu5?" So I would have to define it anyway.

3:12 pm

Judi

Afternoon, all. Apparently the Babble seizure from this morning is over.

3:12 pm

Soodlebum

Hmm. Next time I meet an ancient roman with a pendant, I will be delighted to say Hey! Nice Bu5!

3:13 pm

Soodlebum

Hello Judi :-)

3:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or Bu5 for you!

3:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Someone could be offended if I said "hey nice bu5." They might not want attention called to the protrusion on their tympanic bone.

3:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I would be really embarrassed and have to explain, no, I meant your PENDANT! Really I did.

3:14 pm

Judi

*covers eyes*

3:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm just saying.

3:16 pm

Soodlebum

Meanwhile, the men in the white coats would be standing by....

3:16 pm

dianedecoder

hi soodle :-)

3:17 pm

Soodlebum

(((Diane)))) Long time no see. (I was going to say Nice Bu5, but I was afraid of offending you :-)....)

3:17 pm

dianedecoder

Hi Judi

3:17 pm

Judi

Hi, di!

3:18 pm

dianedecoder

my sister is Judi.... and she also calls me Di :-)

3:18 pm

Judi

Uh oh. Big thunder rolling in.

3:18 pm

ivesy3

el 5/12 plz

3:18 pm

Soodlebum

How is the new baby doing, Diane? Last time I saw you, she had just entered the world.

3:18 pm

dianedecoder

.....not easily offended.... expecially since I haven't gotten to that word yet.

3:19 pm

Soodlebum

Ivesy.. have you got the most senior family member el 5/2?

3:19 pm

Judi

El5/12: most senior one.

3:19 pm

dianedecoder

she is getting cuter by the day.... look on my profile... there is a pic of her in my father's nightie ( baby's great-great grandfather ) The nightie is 98 years old

3:20 pm

dianedecoder

Hi Ivesy !!

3:20 pm

ivesy3

ty all...

3:20 pm

ivesy3

hi lady di, and all

3:21 pm

Judi

What a doll baby. And such big hair. She could be on "The Jersey Shore".

3:21 pm

Soodlebum

Oh Diane.... how beautiful! Such a lovely baby. (I love babies with hair - all 3 of mine were egg-like in the hair dept), and how wonderful to have such a family heirloom.

3:21 pm

dianedecoder

hmmm... is that a tv show ?

3:22 pm

Judi

Yes, diane. About empty-headed girls and boys from Jersey. Big hair, tans, manicures, pedicures, etc.

3:22 pm

Soodlebum

The only thing my kids had that was almost 100 years old was their mom!!

3:22 pm

dianedecoder

I love the hair too... my 3 girls all had lots of hair,...my son had to be held up to the light to see the down !

3:23 pm

uusue2

hi again, all, dropping in very briefly - departmental safety meeting at 3:30 :-P

3:23 pm

Soodlebum

Hi Sue :-)

3:23 pm

dianedecoder

LOL that nightie was sent out from England in 1913, and the work on it is lovely.

3:23 pm

dianedecoder

Hi Sue :-)

3:24 pm

uusue2

hi, diane and soodle!

3:24 pm

Soodlebum

Did you have heartburn when you were carrying them, Diane? I suffered dreadfully from heartburn, and I was told that the babies would have great heads of hair. Untrue!!

3:24 pm

uusue2

just got back from "meet the professor" where I did meet a few students (none of whom were interested in physics, sadly)

3:25 pm

dianedecoder

I did have heartburn... but truly, that is an old wive's tale !

3:25 pm

uusue2

maybe I can babble on my phone...

3:25 pm

bichon

I gave birth to a baldie and adopted a baldie

3:26 pm

Soodlebum

Yay for Baldie Babies, and Hairy Babies. Yay for babies!!!

3:26 pm

dianedecoder

they often have the nicest and thickest hair when they finally get some !!

3:26 pm

Judi

Baldies are just late bloomers.

3:27 pm

bichon

My son didn't have hair til he was 2 and now he has mega hair at 38

3:28 pm

bichon

lube

3:28 pm

bichon

sorry

3:28 pm

dianedecoder

;-)

3:29 pm

uusue2

dont' worry, bichon, the way today is going the only words I am going to get are going to be from clues (and words) in the chog

3:29 pm

uusue2

and now I am off to be safe....

3:29 pm

Soodlebum

My three were all follically challenged at birth. Then the hair they grew was very blond, and remained invisible for about 3 years.

3:31 pm

Soodlebum

Diane.... I remember you posting a pic of an artifact which you couldn't identify. Did you ever get to the bottom of the mystery?

3:31 pm

dianedecoder

haha.... I love getting a word an hour after the clue was given and think AHA... that's what they meant !!

3:32 pm

dianedecoder

We never did Soodle.... it's still in my Flickr photos... maybe I'll circulate it again this winter. Jilli might even have an idea... she is so well travelled and read !

3:32 pm

Judi

This grid seems like such a slog today. Mrff.

3:34 pm

dianedecoder

If someone could only decipher the inscription on it, it might help solve the mystery.

3:35 pm

Soodlebum

Well, if Babblers can't help, nobody can!! And I'm with you there, Judi..... this grid is like swimming through treacle!

3:39 pm

dianedecoder

Treacle.... one of my grandma's words ! Loved it on warm Johnny cake ( cornbread )

3:39 pm

Kazzer99

diane - was it the inscrption on the handle - they remind me runes - futhark alphabet

3:40 pm

dianedecoder

it was on the bottom I think.... I'm just trying to find the pictures now... somewhere on my computer among 1,000's of pictures !!

3:41 pm

Kazzer99

there is one in your photo stream with an 1810 date

3:42 pm

Kazzer99

dont think i will finish tonight - feel like just tiddling about rather than finding words

3:43 pm

dianedecoder

yes... and that is engraved on the lid.... by the handle

3:44 pm

dianedecoder

interesting anyhow, and one day it will be solved. I doesn't belong to me though...belongs to an online friend in Oklahoma ( a wheelchair bound friend )

3:45 pm

dianedecoder

and I have to go make cookies.... the butter has been soft for 2 hours now !! Be back later....chat was nice :-))

3:48 pm

Kazzer99

8:19 pm

Dorens

8:20 pm

Dorens

8:20 pm

my loving hubz is very good at trying to pamper me. It's a mindset for me to have someone else fetch and carry! ;0

8:23 pm

lbdawger

go wht!, hi crossy

8:23 pm

Dorens

gotcha! well then, I hope someday you'll get it. I've had it, but a good loving hubz is better than all the five star hotels put together

8:25 pm

lbdawger

so true, Dorens. we try not to forget how lucky we are to have each others companionship.

No PB for you Dorens. The word you typed is not a valid word in the grid.

Molly gave me a crown the other day for getting nbt on the same word that gave me fireworks. Now I have found something that the King of Babbleonia can actually do.

whoooo hooooo DORENs

9:09 pm

wht

That is a word I have always been grasping for when I have been describing things. :^)

9:09 pm

uusue2

yes, me too :-)

9:12 pm

uusue2

and does Enable really never eat creme brulee? Enable is really missing out...

9:13 pm

Jacula

Yes, I tried brulee, too.

9:14 pm

Jacula

I also tried 'bruce' but Enable was having no4 of that either!

9:14 pm

crosshair

it does not take an indian samosa either

9:15 pm

Jacula

But it allows naan bread, crossy.

9:15 pm

crosshair

indeed

9:15 pm

uusue2

go figure...

9:15 pm

wht

I found a lot of words it wouldn't take today.

9:16 pm

Jacula

I think it allows 'curry' and 'ri4. LOL

9:16 pm

crosshair

it does not allow 'basmati"

9:17 pm

Jacula

I don't think 'spaghetti' has ever been in the grid, but it alllows 'pasta'.

9:18 pm

Jacula

crossy - but it allows 'jasmine', 'long' & 'grain' and 'short'...

9:18 pm

crosshair

but does not allow grappa:((

9:18 pm

Jacula

I think it also allows 'risotto'.

9:19 pm

crosshair

we must teach enable all the international delicacies

9:19 pm

Jacula

Enable wants us to eat and drink in a healthy fashion. LOL

9:19 pm

uusue2

you can find out by typing any word in the "add word" box - if it takes it it will say that it "does not exist in the puzzle"

9:20 pm

Jacula

crossy - all is not lost; Enable does allow 'bacon'.

9:20 pm

wht

If Enable want's us to be so healthy, why does it drive us to drink?

9:20 pm

Jacula

uusue - I'm just winging it with years of experience on Babble.

9:20 pm

Jacula

wht - LOL!

9:20 pm

crosshair

mmm,bacon

9:21 pm

uusue2

np, I am just a geek :-)

9:22 pm

Jacula

what - nothing wrong with Adam's Ale aka H2O aka water, but I'm drinking a rather nice Southern Australian Sauvignon Blanc right now.

9:23 pm

aussie wine has really come a long way

Howdy folks

9:23 pm

uusue2

hi, origami!

9:24 pm

wht

Hello origami

9:24 pm

wht

We are just here getting bent out of shape by Enable.

9:24 pm

Jacula

sue - geeks are good; you never know when you might need them in an emergency. I'm thinking of the TV series 'A Town Called Eureka' right now when Douglas Fargo uttered the classic line, 'Oh my God! I've just scraped the ISS. Now they'll never let me be an astronaut!'

9:24 pm

origami

What's Enable?

9:24 pm

uusue2

and after years of babbling we are quite twister :-)

9:25 pm

uusue2

lol, jac!

9:25 pm

uusue2

and what I meant to say was twisted, sigh

9:25 pm

Jacula

Hello origami. Enable is the dictionary (somewhat out of date) that Babble uses to say what words we can and can't have.

9:26 pm

bethn

ru

9:26 pm

origami

I see. Sometimes I'm confused about what's allowed and what's now. I'll blame it on Enable from now on :-)

9:26 pm

wht

It gives us something to complain about on slow nights.

9:26 pm

crosshair

always blame enable

9:26 pm

crosshair

i do

9:28 pm

Jacula

We used to blame FMitch at one time, but we're letting her off the hook for now.

9:29 pm

crosshair

tbh,i have not seen fm in a while

9:30 pm

Jacula

Origami - it may amaze you that Enable has never heard of the word 'internet'. It doesn't knows about emails either.

9:30 pm

Jacula

crossy - FM's mum died.

9:30 pm

origami

There are some serious gaps in enable indeed!

9:30 pm

crosshair

thats because computer speak is less than 20 or 30 years olds lol

9:30 pm

crosshair

:( i am sorry..i did not know

9:32 pm

Jacula

The Scrabble dictionary now allows ebayer, ebayers, ebaying and ebayings. Enable wouldn't know where to go to sell stuff other than a market.

9:33 pm

Jacula

crossy - I'm not sure FM has been in to say that.

9:33 pm

origami

The Scrabble dictionary doesn't allow some of the words that Enable apparently does either. Oh well.

9:34 pm

crosshair

ok, i must bid you al a good night my babble buddies,as a comfy bed and James Herriot are calling me.tc all and happy babbling...poink!

9:34 pm

Jacula

origami - well, that's half the fun of it, remembering what's allowed in which game, if you play a lot of words games like wot I do. LOL

9:34 pm

origami

Love the Herriot

ok, dinner time! see you all later!

9:39 pm

wht

by uu

9:39 pm

wht

Anyone need more clues before I go?

9:40 pm

Jacula

EvaN - I suppose, should we see you on webcam, that you're blowing and puffing on your nails and generally looking like a looney? You do realise that if you've put 3 coats on they WILL take more than half an hour to harden and that you WILL muck up at least one of them before you leave the house?

9:40 pm

Jacula

what - not me.

9:41 pm

Jacula

Bye sue!

9:41 pm

EvaNadine

only 2 thin coats so far, and now blowing. i am planning on using my nail-stamping system, so i do need to let them dry quite a bit before getting to that part.
only going to bed after that, so not a chance i will mess them up...lol

9:41 pm

Jacula

I once bought a kitten-shaped nail dryer. It didn't really work, just saved a bit of my puff.

9:41 pm

EvaNadine

no* blowing

9:42 pm

EvaNadine

thankfully, this color is very thin + thus dries pretty darned fast

9:42 pm

Jacula

Ah, going to bed when you think your nail varnish is dry... only to wake up to find linen cross-prints on your nails.

9:43 pm

EvaNadine

i call that "texture"

9:43 pm

EvaNadine

its totally planned. ;)

9:43 pm

Jacula

LOL

9:44 pm

wht

well good night all. Happy Babbling and nail drying.

9:45 pm

Jacula

EvaN - unless someone in the fashion world suddenly makes 'texture' a part of the nail look, do you think you will get away with that?

9:45 pm

Jacula

Goodnight wht.

9:46 pm

Jacula

It's not 'Hollywood', is it, EvaN? LOL

9:47 pm

EvaNadine

i AM the fashion-maker around here...lol

9:47 pm

EvaNadine

i start all the trends. ;)

9:48 pm

BzznBea

First re6/21, please?

9:49 pm

Jacula

I beg to differ, EvaN! Not only did I start the trend for ridged and/or textured nail varnish, I was also wering nude shoes back in 1983!

9:49 pm

Jacula

Bzz - to remember.

9:50 pm

BzznBea
