flipAmazon river dolphins, Inia geoffrensis, aka boutu, boto and bufeo, are one of the few species of fresh water dolphins and the most well-known river dolphin. They are a medium size dolphin with long beaks, a stocky body, and prominent forehead. They have long beaks with 24-34 conical and molar-like teeth. The conical teeth in the front of the mouth are used for holding prey, the molars in the rear of the mouth are used to grind food before swallowing. A characteristic unique to the Amazon river dolphin is stiff hairs on the beak; the hairs are a sensory organ that help sense prey in muddy river bottoms.
Another interesting characteristic is that Amazon river dolphins are able to move their neck unlike other dolphin species that have fused vertebrae. Neck mobility enables the Amazon river dolphin to look to the side or down. They are also known for their keen eyesight and hearing.
Amazon river dolphins are often found singly or in pairs. They are a gregarious species unafraid of boats. Like other dolphin species, they are equipped with audible sonar, which is used for echolocating prey.
South American Indian folklore hails the Amazon river dolphin as sacred, leading to the belief that hunting and killing them would bring bad luck, therefore the dolphins were somewhat protected. The arrival of new settlers ended that protection as numerous Amazon river dolphins were killed for their skin for leather and fat for cooking. Several hundred of this species have been captured for live display in aquariums, including at least 100 taken by the US. Unfortunately, few were able to adapt to captivity. They are threatened by various activities, among them are incidental catches in fisheries, damming of rivers associated with hydroelectric development, deforestation, and pollution from mercury mining operations. Despite these problems, these beautiful creatures are still abundant in many parts of their range.

12:22 am
gremlinn

once I had an idea that Babble Expert should let you play one of the archived ones, or just randomly generate one if you wanted to practice
12:22 am
gremlinn

most of the programming would be already in place, I'm sure
12:22 am

12:56 am
GroovyKiwi

and then you get like the old age pensioners who want to bake for you everday and spend the day making tea and talking and you have to try to talk your way out of it so you can work lol

sorry kiwi -- I wasn't here for a bit
1:13 am
scouser

morning all. I am not impressed that yesterday's fiasco has spoilt my run of 28 completed puzzles. Ah well on with the game. The th9/66 is very apposite to programming.
1:14 am
jillibus

hi scouser
1:14 am
GroovyKiwi

i got the 9 woohooo
1:14 am
GroovyKiwi

hey scouser good luck to you
1:15 am
scouser

hi jillibus. very interesting stuff on the dolphins. I went into the log to see if there had been a mssg abt yesterday and got sidetracked by your info.
1:16 am
scouser

Hi Groovy I must be hooked on this game, eh?
1:16 am
rururocks

have you read about the bottle nose dolphins killing harbor porpoises here in California
1:17 am
scouser

Mind you without Lickety I'd probably not finish nearly as many.
1:17 am
GroovyKiwi

i used to be the worlds worst babble addict until i saw the light - ask Ru lol
1:18 am
rururocks

don't ask me.. I'm an addict
1:18 am
GroovyKiwi

i must be returning to my old life cause i missed you too much lol
1:19 am
rururocks

you are always welcome here kiwi.. its great to have you pop in
1:20 am
scouser

Hi ruru - there must be some strong reason for dolphins to fight thus; I hope that it is not a trait that increased "intelligence" leads to internecine strife. I like woodlice: we kept them for kids to look at in school and I never saw them fight or even spar off. When they meet they just wave feelers at one another and then trundle on by.
1:21 am
rururocks

they are studying it.. but there are porpoises showing up dead on beaches everywhere
1:22 am
jillibus

glad you enjoyed, scouser. I like learning about stuff in the icon themes
1:22 am
rururocks

they think it is young rogue males fighting for territory..
1:23 am
scouser

Perhaps they are affected by all our additives. I expect that some of those sweetener molecules are tough long-lived and could preferentially affect mammals and larger animals in the water.
1:23 am
rururocks

It could be the the porpoise "flippered" them off?
1:23 am
jillibus

fyi, si7 is an unword with no def
1:24 am
GroovyKiwi

we had a 15m long baleen whale found beach up and dead on a south island beach this morning :(
1:24 am
GroovyKiwi

and with that i have fireworks :)
1:24 am
scouser

Sorry: I got on my soapbox again. I am concerned about our "sugar-free" everything culture: cannot even get medicines without aspartame now. I loathe aspartame and know instantly if it is my food.
1:25 am
scouser

Well done Groovy.
1:27 am
GroovyKiwi

anyone need a hand?
1:27 am
rururocks

no thanks kiwi.. I already have two
1:27 am
rururocks

:D
1:28 am
rururocks

I had better limp off to bed and call it a day.. HUGS kiwi.. please keep stopping by.. great to see you.. night jilli and scouser
1:28 am
GroovyKiwi

i could give you a finger or two instead ru if you really wanted
1:29 am
rururocks

fingers I can always use..lol
1:29 am
scouser

si7 presume it means "since th4/5 " in some obscure text where the author is replicating dialect. I suspect Enable of reading Priestley, Thomas Hardy, etc.
1:29 am
rururocks

I am usually all thumbs anyway
1:30 am
rururocks

night all.. see you another day
1:31 am
scouser

Isn't funny that the thumb is most important to our way of life and yet we moan about it when we cannot coordinate? We should say we are 'all fingers' instead.
1:32 am
GroovyKiwi

ok i must dash dinner is ready and i didnt even have to cook it - hugs all see ya another day
1:33 am
jillibus

FW -- and bye ruru and kiwi!
1:33 am
jillibus

scouser, that si7 minus the last letter is from Chaucer, I see.
1:35 am
scouser

Ah Enable hasn't got to Hardy yet th4/5 !
1:36 am
jillibus

I'll stay a bit if anyone needs clues but it's bedtime...
1:37 am
scouser

And what about th5/12 a very suspect "plural" I think is like the end of si7/32. Cheers jillibus
1:38 am
scouser

By all for the mo.
1:38 am
jillibus

Enable uses lots of suspect "words", right?
1:39 am

Crystalle Truckie or Miner?
9:26 am
Nef

crystalle, you can only build snowmen and snowballs when the weather is right with just enough humidity and not too cold. That's only about 10% of the winter here (which is a good thing because those same conditions make shovelling the snow harder!
9:28 am
crystalle

He works in construction. Perth seems to be slowing down where the building industry is concerned but the country areas are booming. Kalgoolie, port hedland, geraldton and such
9:28 am

Ahh that would explain it. Those towns are the Big in mining and shipping yes?

There were changes in the job that were quite gradual; and he never mentioned that he didn't like it anymore. We worked opposite shifts so I didn't see him when he came home. By the time I'd come home he'd decompressed and was either asleep or in a good mood. I felt really stupid when I found out he didn't like the job...

closest we get to sharks here with our freshwater lakes is the muskie(muskellunge) they are long and about the girth of a salmon and can be 20-75 pounds or more and have many rows of jagged sharp teeth.when you hook one and bring it to the side of the boat,you do not know wether to try and net the thing or beat it to death with an oar
10:31 am

there is a similar fish in "our" lake, ugly as sin with big jagged teeth and the French eat them! Yuck

for those that wish to have a go with it,i use the jumbo white shrooms you can buy loose by the pound,i cut strongly smoked ham slices into 1 inch wide by 3 inch long strips and rolld these into a tube and stuff in the home in the mushroom,now take some nice soft provalone or swiss cheese and lightly roll in finely diced dill weed and place in the remaining space of the cavity pressing firmly batter wel and drain for 30 seconds and pop them into nice hot peanut oil for 2-3 min

it took a while crossy, the last 40 mg was the hardest as my body was 'demanding' it and I was fighting a lot of pain from withdrawl
6:18 pm

Sorry you have to suffer so much pain. :(
6:18 pm

codeine is somewhat effective, helps me come off the oxycodene

yes neil, they do, but when the pain is gone, the tablets are still there and that is when the withdrawl is hard.

ok, thanks neil

Th 9/66ally, small puzzles don't need a story of clues, but si 4/5 I have ze4/9 words left to find,here is one anyway. I used to have a sh 6/27 job in the ci 4/7 of Yonkers. I was quite mi4/5rable there. My boss, Mr. Sm 5/14, always se 4/4 me nasty memos. Or he would sh 5/12 me for doing something wrong. He criticized me for everything from my job performance to sh4/5 I wore. He had a very sh5/12 temper and was always yelling. Everytime he yelled at me, I would ti6/18 out of nervousness.I wanted to find a job elsewhere, but people always told me "the grass isn't always greener on the other side". Always thought that was a my4/8 and I do not believe in any my5/18.In re5/10spect, I probably should've left the job sooner than I did. But all of that is hi4/5ory.Now I have a job I love. Sh4/5! Husband would like to he 4/5 the computer.Now I am going to go watch the horror film Am5/15ville. Th4/5 I am going play with my dog Mi 5/16. I will re 5/14 an entrance into Babbleland later if husband lets me. By the way, th4/5 story is totally untrue. Be back later.

102 - very nice. I wonder, is anyone who was born in the 19th century still alive? (age 111+)

pardon me, bob was 100

Or maybe 110+, if I got that border case year wrong, heh

probably someone in Japan or China, Grem.

8:53 pm
stidmama

*(((LBD))))
8:54 pm
jesdraggon

she took it stoically, i guess. looked a bit more surprised than i think she should have been, considering the duration of unresolved issues.
8:54 pm
jesdraggon

then again, she asked why, which i had expected would be pretty obvious, so *shrug*
8:57 pm
jesdraggon

top row grey :)
8:57 pm
stidmama

I am sorry you had to do that, jes. Letting people go for any reason isn't fun.
8:58 pm
stidmama

I am down to 20. About to get my act together and print a few more resources for subbing. Which I expect will be in place by the end of the week. At least, I hope it will be!
8:58 pm
jesdraggon

yah; first time i've had to do it, too. (i'm relatively new at the boss thing.) but seriously, she has a couple particular issues. and i calmly and nicely explained why these things are issues for the clinic, and should be changed.
8:59 pm
jesdraggon

then a month later, i explained again, and gave specific suggestions. and a month after that, i gave orders instead of suggestions.
8:59 pm
stidmama

Good for you.
8:59 pm
jesdraggon

and a couple weeks after that, I gave ultimatums (and by this time I was considerably less polite and niceynice).
8:59 pm
jesdraggon

and it wasn't until after ultimatum point that things improved.
9:00 pm
jesdraggon

that was July. Things have improved, but have not resolved.
9:00 pm
jesdraggon

Personally, I think i should never have to get to the ultimatum point.
9:01 pm
stidmama

Did you put things in writing? For some people, written correction is more "sticky" than verbal.
9:01 pm
jesdraggon

no, i probably should have.
9:02 pm
stidmama

That's something for next time, then.
9:02 pm
stidmama

oops. *sits in PB*
9:02 pm
jesdraggon

but i repeatedly asked her for suggestions on what would help her learn to do things better, and she never had a single request or suggestion.
9:02 pm
stidmama

still, you gave many occasions for correction, so it's clear she wasn't really focused on improvement.
9:03 pm
jesdraggon

yah. and yet she still looked surprised and asked why.
9:03 pm
jesdraggon

i don't get it.
9:03 pm
lbdawger

I think the point is jes, she didn't get it!
9:03 pm
gremlinn

stid, you get double PB time for "sits" !
9:04 pm
stidmama

It's really hard for some people to see that they need to improve. I know that is something I struggle with. Even when SITting in the PB! (((gremlinn)))
9:04 pm
jesdraggon

heh. i guess you've got it in one line, dawg :)
9:04 pm

*sneaks a cookie into pb for stid*
9:05 pm

cookie? what cookie? *innocent mama look*
9:05 pm
gremlinn

Watch out - there's a three strike law now.
9:07 pm
lbdawger

oh man, if that's true, i'm in big trouble!
9:07 pm
stidmama

what happens if I do that gremlinn?
9:07 pm
gremlinn

You have to eat a cookie every day, for the rest of your life!
9:08 pm
stidmama

oh! SITS in PB again hopefully....
9:08 pm
lbdawger

the punishment is only one cookie?
9:08 pm
gremlinn

No, not the same cookie. A new one every day.
9:08 pm
stidmama

and if I get six strikes, it's two cookies, and if I get nine strikes it's THREE cookies and... *hopeful look*
9:09 pm
stidmama

JES! did you read LBD's maxine for today???? Do you think that employee was doing THAT???
9:09 pm
stidmama

roflmao
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

heh. no, i think she just honestly didn't get the concept of "you should do what the person writing your paycheck wants done with her business"
9:11 pm
jesdraggon

she's not malicious (well, that i know of...guess we'll see what happens in the next little bit between giving notice and her moving on...)
9:11 pm
lbdawger

is she a tech or a non-medical person?
9:12 pm
jesdraggon

no, an associate veterinarian
9:13 pm
stidmama

oh, this means you will be short handed then, on top of everything else.
9:14 pm
jesdraggon

means i have to hire again. though turns out that one of the people who applied the beginning of this year is still looking, so i've already got at least one option.
9:14 pm
stidmama

that's good.
9:15 pm
jesdraggon

I thought I had a whole stack of resumes, but i can't find them... bad me
9:15 pm

I looked at the website for hiring teachers today and in the area I would like to be in there are fewer and fewer openings. Which is normal this time of year, there will be more mid-year.

"should work, on paper" - as opposed to practical
9:25 pm
lbdawger

th9ally speaking...
9:25 pm
gremlinn

at least, that's one use of the word...
9:25 pm
jesdraggon

i didn't know that word worked without an "al" on the end. thanks, grm
9:25 pm
gremlinn

Yeah, without -al would be a lot more common
9:26 pm
gremlinn

I mean, with -al
9:27 pm
jesdraggon

is the 6 related to the 9?
9:27 pm
gremlinn

I don't think so
9:27 pm
gremlinn

Maybe really indirectly
9:28 pm

Hi all. si7 and the singular form si6 (which isn't allowed in the grid) is an old English word from the 14th century.

HI sew. I don't think I've met you before! :-)
10:39 pm

So I never quite finish...
10:39 pm
sewdelighted

I was on babble awhile ago
10:39 pm
sewdelighted

I don't always chat
10:40 pm
Nef

I have made it a point not to finish for a while; I was quite addicted to this game for quite a while
10:41 pm
Nef

Ahhh! Well, welcome to the chog then
10:41 pm
sewdelighted

I am not surprised to hear that
10:41 pm
sewdelighted

I will look for you
10:42 pm
Nef

(I still chat way too much; even if I don't finish!)
10:43 pm
Nef

is your icon a quilt block you've made? It's beautiful (I thought it was a stained glass window at first)
10:44 pm
sewdelighted

Yes that is another reason I dont finish!
10:46 pm
Nef

:-) I just retired last week and will now have time to do some hobbys
10:47 pm
Nef

but quilting isn't something I've ever tried before
10:48 pm
sewdelighted

Stopped quilting so I could finish my baby girls wedding dress. Now i am trying to mellow out playing games
10:49 pm
Nef

Well congrats on the wedding! How many kids do you have? (I have 2; and 1 2 yr old grandson)
10:50 pm
sewdelighted

No grand kids yet but I am now hopeful...we do have 5 kids two are now married
10:52 pm
Nef

my dtr. says she will never have kids; my son (who's older) -- his wife says no more kids (and it's probably a good thing for her)
10:53 pm
sprite

good morning all... should be possible to finish this before flip time, shouldn't it?
10:54 pm

Hi sprite! I still have 48 words to find; but haven't been here since the AM

I've gotten too little sleep lately as well.
10:57 pm

I think I need to go catch some zzzzz's
10:57 pm

sorry, still sleeping fingers, lol.

Ah, that is my little angel for Periwinkle, theme of the day before. It was the birthday of her youngest sister, who died.
10:58 pm
sprite

lol sew
10:59 pm
Nef

the zo4/9 is a bunch of vowels
10:59 pm
gremlinn

And there's nothing that starts with Z, besides that. And plural.

11:06 pm
Nef

that's a neat name; I've never heard it before
11:06 pm
Jacula

Damn! I saw Sprite and assumed a new grid was up. I forgot the Netherlands is an hor ahead of UKK right now. I've also no idea what all the USA times are. My Babble grid usually changes over at 6am UK time.
11:07 pm
Nef

Hi Jac. I'm in the CST; the same time zone as Babble; so it's 11:10PM here
11:07 pm

hey Jac! *hugs*

Hi Sprite. *hugs back*

11:08 pm
stidmama

down to ten!
11:08 pm
sprite

lovely to see you! I am awfully late, didn't play yesterday and was awake very early now, so I thought I'd try to do this grid anyway... before flip.
11:09 pm
sprite

Stiddie! *hugs*
11:09 pm
Jacula

I'm in a bit of a sleep one night but not the next phase at the moment. I can clue if you need, Sprite.
11:09 pm
stidmama

you can probably do it, sprite. you have forty minutes!
11:09 pm
Jacula

stid - 40 mins is ample to do ths grid.
11:10 pm
sprite

yeah should work, and thanks Jac :D
That is funny, I have the same thing. Sleep reasonably one night, cannot sleep the next.
11:10 pm
Nef

hi stid!

stidmama

11:12 pm
sprite

lovely, Jac, that will help.

Go stiddie gooo!
11:13 pm
Jacula

Most words in this grid are UK words, old, new and Scottish and Shakespearean.
11:14 pm
Jacula

Only ci6 and hi6 are what I would call American words.
11:14 pm
sprite

that would have baffled me some years ago, but after a couple of years of Babble, it isn't too daunting, grin.
11:14 pm
Jacula

ca6, I meant.
11:15 pm
stidmama

the CA 6 is not used in the U.S.
11:15 pm
sprite

oh that ca6 is almost a dutch word. In dutch it would end -ool and mean the same thing.
11:16 pm
Jacula

sprite - many of the words baffled me when I began. And I say that as a born in UK person. You are not alone.
11:17 pm
stidmama

I am stuck on a C. I have CA 6,4 and Ci 4,5,4 what do I need?
11:17 pm
Jacula

stid - it's Arabic version of the ch garment. Sorry!
11:17 pm
sprite

I still remember my first time when crwth was in the grid. Took me hours, WITH cluing. just couldn't get my brain to believe there were words without vowels. Babble broadened my horizon big time.
11:18 pm
sprite

cy4
11:18 pm
Jacula

stid - cy4/8
11:18 pm
stidmama

:-D I was so excited when that word was in the grid... at the time I was studying Welsh using the BBC website (which is no longer available to U.S. folks)
11:18 pm

11:20 pm
stidmama

go sprite go! :-D
11:20 pm
Jacula

Welsh pronunciation is easy - you just have to learn the Welsh alphabet. However, speaking the language is not so easy and also varies from place to place. Just like anywher else, even in a tiny place like the UK.
11:21 pm
sprite

one of the things I'd love to do sometime... learning welsh and irish. I love those languages. As I love English.
11:22 pm

roflol stiddie! Silly gal.

11:22 pm
stidmama

okay, I am going to peek at lickety. Hold on...
11:22 pm
Jacula

Isn't going to prepare fireworks etc., for sprite when she finishes. She's going to make toast and then let her put sprinkles on it.
11:23 pm
sprite

hahahaha! :D
11:23 pm
stidmama

two.
11:23 pm
sprite

28 :P
11:24 pm

Honsestly, since my son's (now ex) Dutch girlfriend left the sprinkles her, none of us get that sprinkles on toast thing. But the girlfriend was lovely and is still a family friend.

Can you do my ironing, too please Stid? It's a smale pile for a change! I really need to get out into the garden later and I don't need ironing keeping me out.
11:34 pm
stidmama

11:34 pm

I don't iron. I just don't. Hate it!
11:35 pm

I didn't iron much when I was being a mom, but trying to get a job I want to look a little more put-together with shirts and pants that button... LOL
11:35 pm

11:36 pm

I suspect that 4 of spirite's words are ti 5 and 6s and ty5 an 6s. All relate to one tenth of profit on crops etc., being paid to a landlord back in the middle ages.

I've got a chance at a job in school that would give me an 'in' if I wanted to be a teacher. Thing is, despite my old headmistress wanting me to become a teacher, thaat's never been my goal. Also, the job offfered seems to want an awful lot for minimum wage.
