12:49 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

What do you call a pig that does karate?

12:51 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

Yeah - that was sad.

1:20 am

grannyrose

apologies kimmy. was deep in the grid. what do you call a pig that does karate?

1:20 am

grannyrose

oh i just worked it out. a pork chop??

1:20 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

a pork chop.

1:20 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

it was just a very corny joke.

1:21 am

grannyrose

lolll... good one.

1:21 am

grannyrose

well i'm still grinning..

1:21 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

I almost thought the whole babble crew was iced over.

1:22 am

grannyrose

nah. when a grid like this one appears one simply cannot stop. the words simply fly off the keyboard.

1:22 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

Not for me!

1:23 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

I am stuck :/

1:23 am

grannyrose

can i help? or would you rather potter?

1:23 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

I guess it an acquired talent?

1:24 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

I wouldn't know where to start to ask for help - but thanks anyway.

1:24 am

grannyrose

pretty much have played every day since March 2007

1:25 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

I meant seeing the words in the grid are an acquired talent - I want to be careful with my words.

1:25 am

grannyrose

sad isn't it? i might be addicted...

1:25 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

No, it's not sad.

1:28 am

grannyrose

kimmy, do you know how to access licket's list? or do you like to just work your way through?

1:28 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

If something feels challenging and rewarding that is a good thing.

1:29 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

So funny about the Lickety list. When I first started playing I had know idea about it.

1:30 am

Lizlin

Hi all. Hey Rose - just emailed you!

1:30 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

Everytime I try to use that list I feel like it makes it even more complicated.

1:30 am

grannyrose

ah thanx lizgirl. {{{{{lizgirl}}}}}

1:32 am

grannyrose

uh huh !!

1:42 am

Lizlin

Profile too :)

1:43 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

wow. It's walkout. I started to look over the archives to see why you all might be behaving out of the ordinary and I saw something where I was call a "sock puppet".

1:44 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

I had to look that one up. I am not that at all. Who would even care that much to try to infiltrate Babble of all places?

1:49 am

grannyrose

not sure what is going on, kimmy.

1:50 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

It seems like a walkout to me.

1:51 am

Kimmy__Hoffa

I don't want to dare make a joke that they up and died -

1:51 am

dizgrannie

1:52 am

2:00 am

grannyrose

doing okay. took one with the lot after lunch.. magnesium, valium, endone, CR oxy, panadol osteo x 2.have done two loads of washing, and don has the done the shopping. so all good. how's my bestie doing?

2:02 am

sprite

hm not a great day painwise for you then. *gentle hugs* I am doing okay. Bit of bad dreaming last night, but that is not uncommon after overdoing stuff. Feeling okay now, just took my morning meds and shot and am now ready for a round of babble with my bestie :)

2:03 am

grannyrose

ugh on the dreams.

2:04 am

sprite

yeah. I dreamt among other things that Tim said he wished I were dead, and accused me of wanting to steal his money. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what brought that one, LOL

2:05 am

grannyrose

yesterday, some of the ladies at hydro were very interested in the ankle floaties i wear while exercising. they said... you work very hard at your exercises. it was nice to have the effort i put in acknowledged.

2:05 am

sprite

aw that is sweet :) And right they are.

2:06 am

grannyrose

now that is the exact opposite of the truth. pain will do that t you.

2:07 am

sprite

pain is a weird thing for sure. Messed with everything, doesn't it. But... we will prevail, lol... we are women, hear us... ROARRRRRRRRRRR

2:12 am

2:13 am

2:13 am

sprite

LOLLLLL

2:13 am

sprite

hard to choose just one when you have four

2:14 am

grannyrose

hey, Rob told Don he wasn't leaving until the 30th. has he got his dates mixed up?

2:16 am

sprite

okay, might have been a change in plans either way. I asked Rob and he said probably on tuesday. But Rob is as changeable as the weather, which is saying quite a bit in our climate here, so it may have moved up. If so, we can drive you to Schiphol, no doubt.

2:17 am

grannyrose

was just wondering is all.

2:18 am

sprite

if I can drive by then, I will take you, even if I have to borrow a car. If not, I will try and borrow a car with driver attached, lol. I have lovely old neighbours who will gladly help if they are free.

2:19 am

sprite

Rob is a darling. But doing some concrete planning with him is not easy. He changes his mind often and expects all around him change along with it, lol.

2:20 am

grannyrose

or know by osmosis that he has changed his mind??

2:22 am

sprite

yep, you got it. It took me a lot of years to learn to make my own plans and if they are important to me, to stick to them. Rob is fair, so when I tell him well too bad, love, but I planned based on your plans and I am not rescheduling, he will say that is reasonable. Most of the time.

2:25 am

grannyrose

loll at most of the time

2:25 am

sprite

2:43 am

sprite

2:47 am

grannyrose

brb. there must be a leak from my glass. it keeps becoming empty. *sigh*

2:47 am

sprite

2:48 am

2:52 am

2:54 am

8:09 am

8:12 am

Vicuna

My pleasure, dan2bit.

8:13 am

Vicuna

In principle it isn't hard to figure out which tile a word comes from, but it certainly can be confusing when there are lots of possibilities.

8:17 am

dan2bit

it is definitely harder to reverse engineer the origin tile from a full or partial list of R words than it is to figure out how that particular R (3rd of 4 in grid order) could make a ra5/10 or a ri6/24

8:26 am

MollyL

I had trouble with that corner R too. One of them is a sewing word and I am so NOT a sewing person.
: )

8:27 am

BzznBea

One of my passions, Molly.

8:30 am

periwinkle

hi all. I see stats for that corner r but cannot find the words

8:30 am

if you sew, it's like a trim you can put on things

9:07 am

MLFAN17

its not la 4?

9:09 am

hokie carla

no, it's another one. it's kinda wavy

9:10 am

MLFAN17

I know some things about sewing I am just not seeing what it could be

9:10 am

MLFAN17

i gtg will be back...

9:12 am

hokie carla

to deconstruct the other clue, it's 2 syllables - first one is the white or brown food very common in Asian meals, then drop the last letter. the 2nd syllable is, think about a track meet, the running events can be called an ra4, then drop the last letter. Put those 2 together.

cybernan

have a ca 5/14, but not sure if it is the corret one

11:24 am

cybernan

and there is no plural

11:24 am

Vicuna

You can make the ca5/14 that's a Latin pl into an adj

11:25 am

Vicuna

Sorry, not a Latin pl. Let's back up...

11:25 am

Vicuna

Ohhh, yes it is, but just not of a singual that's in the grid...

11:26 am

cybernan

je suis perdu

11:26 am

Vicuna

So, ca5/14 - ca+ home -- class + indefinite article

11:27 am

Vicuna

Add a consonant to make it an adj for the ca6/24.

11:28 am

cybernan

only home I see is spanish and that's not it

11:29 am

Vicuna

home -- class was where you used to learn about sewing and cooking

yes, there's that

11:55 am

cybernan

it will be interesting to see if the us constitution changes any once this is over - I don't think anyone ever considered just how far an unprincipled person could or would go as things stand now.

11:56 am

bichon

I don't think th constitution would. It takes years to do that

Glad Manafort can't be pardoned on the state charges

12:53 pm

chrisk

He was hit with 16 new indictments today by the state of New York. Happened shortly after the second sentences were handed down.

1:02 pm

Uneaixoise

Yep

1:05 pm

NatashaW

Just not sure those indictments will stand up to double jeopardy protections as it's my understanding they're many of the same offenses for which he already stood trial in VA. Though perhaps the 10 counts on which the jury could not agree on a verdict are still up for grabs.

1:06 pm

doseffing

... double jeopardy usually applies only in the same jurisdiction ... two states ... two sets of offenses

1:11 pm

nrkii

oooh sorry

1:12 pm

NatashaW

no, the charges in VA were federal...

1:14 pm

doseffing

... but aren't the NY ones state? ...

1:15 pm

NatashaW

yes. So the question is - can he be double charged for the same offenses - once at federal level and once at state?

1:18 pm

NatashaW

Found the answer... The Fifth Amendment provides that no person shall be "twice put in jeopardy of life or limb" for the same offense. But for nearly two centuries, the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that being prosecuted for the same crime once by a state and again in federal court, or the other way around, doesn't violate the provision because the states and the federal government are "separate sovereigns."

... they're not the same offense ... they only sound the same ... one is an offense against one act from one jurisdiction ... the other is an offense against another act from another jurisdiction ... they sound similar and may use the same evidence ... but their not the same thing twice ... .... at least that's my understanding ... but then I flunked out of law school so don't believe me

... the ruling from one court is not supposed to be used in evidence in any way to support the the charge in the other

speaking of malfunctions, did anyone else have trouble with Babble Expert? When I try to use it, it won't load the word list or the chat and even though I completed the grid in Expert, I had to go back in through my browser and re-enter the words in order for them to be accepted.

2:41 pm
