Good morning

Deeha

hi Ruby how are you today?
4:07 am
rubyfoo

Hello Deeha. The sun is shining and l'm fine again
4:11 am
Deeha

good I'm glad you sounded down before. Doesn't the sun make a difference
4:19 am
MollyL

Glad you're feeling better, Ruby
4:25 am
rubyfoo

Thank you and good morning, Molly
4:26 am
rubyfoo

How is your weather, Deeha? The sun is shining but it's not very warm -- lovely, though
4:26 am
rubyfoo

And the widsteria is MAGNIFIQUE!!
4:26 am
rubyfoo

wisteria*
4:29 am
rubyfoo

l'msorry to have made such a fuss last evening but because l take so many drugs, l was afrid to take a simple allergy medicine
4:30 am
MollyL

You didn't make a fuss. You were just concerned and in need of some support.
4:31 am
rubyfoo

lt really helped; l got through the whole thing without scratching
4:31 am
MollyL

And you should always wait until you check with your medical professional (not an on line one) before taking medication if you are worried about drug interaction.
4:31 am
Deeha

yes our weather is lovely and my wisteria is ready to burst out!!
4:32 am
Deeha

nihi
4:32 am
Deeha

oh ive done it again!!
4:32 am
rubyfoo

Does your wisteria bloom a second time in August/September?
4:32 am
Deeha

lucky there is no such word!!
4:33 am
Deeha

no I havent seen that. I didnt even know what it was and after about ten years it suddenly started flowering
4:36 am
rubyfoo

l think it ws planted when the house was built (30+ years ago) and it doesn't always flower a second time, but it's really beautiful
4:45 am
MollyL

A warm breeze with the scent of Spring flowers on it is a glorious thing
4:47 am
rubyfoo

Yes! Wisteria outside and white lilies Inside. Maybe that's what gave me a rash --- LOL

Hello again
6:15 am
rubyfoo

lt is wonderful and warm out. l'm on the deck having made an enormous sort-of omelet (in chunks, not in one piece) with 3 eggs, oniàons, potato--cooked in duck fat, olive' oïl and butter
6:16 am
rubyfoo

HAPPY!

6:20 am
rubyfoo

6:23 am
rubyfoo

Isn't the goddess who spins webs in here -- ar7?
6:28 am
MollyL

I don't see Arachne

6:32 am
Uneaixoise

phantom parish
6:32 am

pariah
6:34 am

good morning all. help with I in 4th column pls
6:59 am
rubyfoo

l wasn't sure about Ariadne. There are tons of unrelated facts swirling around my brain.
7:00 am
MollyL

Well Ruby, most people don't know the names of Goddesses, so you have that going for you.
: )
7:00 am
ChampFit

Nickname for Harrison Ford's character in Raiders of the Lost Ark, peri.
7:01 am
periwinkle

just found it. champ, ty
7:01 am
ChampFit

Knew it when I typed it, peri!
7:01 am
rubyfoo

What was her specialty?
7:01 am
periwinkle

:)
7:01 am
rubyfoo

lf l Google her, l'll lose babble
7:03 am
ChampFit

she's associated with mazes and labyrinths, according to Mr. Google.
7:03 am
rubyfoo

Thanks champ
7:03 am
rubyfoo

So who is the spider goddess?
7:04 am
TraderKate

morning all, she wa the one that gave hte thread to get out of the minataur's maze
7:04 am
MollyL

Ruby, you should really learn to use the tabs at the top of your screen. Have Nadia show you how. Then you can Google search and leave Babble open.
7:04 am
ChampFit

Arachne, ruby
7:05 am
TraderKate

are you thinking of the three sisters ruby... one spind thread of life, one measures, one cuts?
7:05 am
rubyfoo

Wasn't the thread like a spider web? Or was that a goddess who wove a web representing the future?
7:05 am
rubyfoo

names?
7:06 am
TraderKate

I think Champ had it...
7:06 am
rubyfoo

Phoebe?
7:08 am
rubyfoo

I didn't see it, champ. N>adia has gbeen unavailable for more than a week, hence no way out ze
7:08 am
ChampFit

Arachne
7:08 am
rubyfoo

no way out of my personal maze (haze?)
7:09 am
TraderKate

3 Fates: Clotho (spins), Lachesis (measures), Atropos (cuts).
7:10 am
rubyfoo

thank you Kate. lf l ever have triplets, those will be their names
7:11 am
TraderKate

haha, I couldn't remember. Used to know them all at one time... Looked at Arachne too, ty Champ.
7:13 am
rubyfoo

Can anybody name the 7 kinds of angels in their heirarrchical order? l used to be ablve, now it's just seraphim, cherubim, thrones,.....
7:14 am
TraderKate

We have a Supernatural (tv) fan that probably could ;)
7:16 am
rubyfoo

We used to talk a lot about religion in our office in Miaami, looking for commonalities among Catholics, Jehovah's Witenesses and Jews. Now l talk about religion with Nadia, l'm the only Jew she's ever met!
7:17 am
ladycece920

Ruby, your three plus dominations, powers, virtues,principalities, archangels.
7:18 am

12:31 pm
TraderKate

12:32 pm
rubyfoo

l think all fish are carnivorous; they eat each other
12:32 pm
rururocks

algae eaters only eat algae
12:32 pm
TraderKate

yes, but the fish in question can devour a human in seconds if there are enough of them...
12:32 pm

12:44 pm
TraderKate

12:51 pm

Yes,and Rosie, the first one, bit the vet once (but l would have bitten him, too, as he was a nasty jerk) but l've had 7 of them, and they've never even come close to biting
12:51 pm
TraderKate

12:52 pm

Polo, the Bichon we had to let go of, bit. We needed him out of the house because of grandkids
12:52 pm
TraderKate

Bernese mountain dogs are like that...also very leery of "other" people
12:52 pm
rubyfoo

All correct exceept that Rufie lovedmy husband, too, and Raffie is sort of a "chippie" and gets cosy with several of my friends
12:53 pm

12:55 pm
bichon

I need a dog that likes cuddling
12:55 pm
rubyfoo

l've done nothing. At 3 months, all of the chows have been housebroken and they only poop in private, in the far end of the garden, behind bushes
12:55 pm
TraderKate

and they all think they are rottweilers ;)
12:55 pm

rururocks

12:59 pm
TraderKate

dogs do pic up on who doesn't like or is afraid of them.. I swear they can smell it. they also know who is good and who is a bad apple.
12:59 pm
rubyfoo

Rufie didn't like my husband's doctor and would bark the whole time hewas in the house
12:59 pm
rubyfoo

l love the way mastiffs look, but they're even bigger than chows, much too much dog for me!
1:00 pm

1:07 pm
helenkeller

Jen - they take a while to get used to you, very discriminatory - they won't take to just anyone. You have to be patient with them, and you must, above all else, let them know you are the alpha. And you have to believe it yourself, otherwise they know & they want to be the boss.
1:07 pm
Jen34

This one definitely knew he was the alpha, LOL
1:08 pm

l thought you were kidding, Helen. l'm sorry

most of the idiocy comes not from the kids, but from the other teachers and aadministrators whose egos are too big to fit through the door
1:24 pm

ah... I do pretty well with the kids too. never really had a desk job.

but things come around our way - I wouldn't play the game early on in this job, and now 5 years later all the morons have left, and I'm still teaching my way.

Yes, it was 90 on Friday. But not that awful, humidity laden 90 that comes later. And after this winter, 90 was a blessing

The Babble rules say that the only words allowed are those that can be found in the Enable dictionary. Does anyone know whether that is the same thing as the ENABLE word list at everything2.com, please? And are proper nouns like Dane excluded?

Gillie

There is more than one version of the Enable dictionary, and Babble uses an older one, so it may not be exactly the same as everything2.com (although it should be pretty close). I use "More Words", which seems to have everything that turns up in Babble, but occasionally has other words too. Proper nouns are supposed to be excluded, but there are oddities.

I think it's the same as, or at least based on, an older (late 90s/early 2000s maybe) North American Scrabble Tournament Word List (TWL). I used to have it on my computer, but can't find it. There are few that most people consider proper nouns (like nazi), but which have become "improper" :) over time.

thks Sev. I'm a bit surprised that the dictionary specified in the rules turns out to be a somewhat fuzzy concept rather than an actual, specific dictionary which everyone can access. Not that it really matters, of course, because some of the words in Babble are exceedingly rare and others are from languages other than English. Personally, I have to resort to a lot of guesswork once I have exhausted the obvious words.

Tallmike, I'll try to remember to look for my copy of TWL that (I think) matches the dictionary here and let you know. If you don't see me here, you're welcome to email me: theseverian@gmail.com
