SueMagee

Thank you!

1:40 am

gapeach

Thanks much, Jacula....I'm sitting here with my mind somewhere in the universe. I probably should come back later in the day.

6:17 am

lbdawger

6:19 am

lbdawger

6:43 am

Aloyisius

fw - fun grid today!

a

6:43 am

Aloyisius

whoops.. time to get some coffee. Happy Babbling.

7:05 am

MollyL

Things like that are why I don't do anything "before coffee". : D

7:13 am

BzznBea

Have you had your Thanksgiving dinner yet, Molly?

7:15 am

MollyL

Last night. It was good. I really should make stuffing more often. I love it.

7:16 am

BzznBea

Did you do a whole bird?

7:16 am

MollyL

No, just a breast.

7:17 am

BzznBea

I'm going to get on soon, I hope. Can't find them here readily yet.

7:17 am

BzznBea

We had creamed baby new potatoes and peas for dinner last night. They were so good.

7:18 am

MollyL

I love fresh new potatoes. Nothing like them.

7:19 am

BzznBea

I've got some bigger ones to fix tonight. Not sure how I will prep them.

7:19 am

MollyL

When my parents lived in Delaware, there was a farm down the street with a market. One of the first things we would do is stop there for fresh new potatoes, green beans and corn. Good eating.

7:20 am

BzznBea

We grew all that on our acerage when I was a kid. Summer meals were the best!

7:21 am

MollyL

Speaking of corn, it is a total pain that you can't shuck it in the store anymore. I am so sick of these virus restrictions.

7:21 am

MollyL

Oh lucky you Bea, growing up on a farm. I bet summer meals were the best.

7:22 am

Deeha

our first new potatoes are Jersey Royal. They have a taste all of their own. They are amazing

7:22 am

BzznBea

Can you pull the husk down to see what the corn looks like?

7:32 am

bichon

corn on the cob, mmmmm

7:39 am

MollyL

Oh yeah, you can pull the husk down. It was just so much easier to get it shucked in the store. And then you don't have to load up the trash at home with the husks.

7:41 am

MollyL

Previous to this COVID crap, the only time I brought home unshucked corn was when I make a corn dolly out of the husks in the Fall. (It's a Pagan thing)

7:54 am

MLFAN17

I agree bichon

7:56 am

MLFAN17

Today is National Chocolate ice cream Day!

7:57 am

bichon

I bring the shucks home for use in the compost

7:58 am

MLFAN17

only the shucks ? you are not eating the corn on the cob?

7:58 am

MollyL

I doubt she brings the husks home and leaves the corn at the store.

7:59 am

bichon

sorry, my ad

7:59 am

BzznBea

*shakes head*

7:59 am

MollyL

The bar is open.

7:59 am

BzznBea

8:32 am

BzznBea

Unless its Spanish.

8:33 am

MollyL

I'm going to have to start drinking doubles if we are going to talk about the Spanish estate again

8:33 am

BzznBea

Not me! LOL!

8:33 am

BzznBea

Didn't even try on that one, did she?

8:34 am

BzznBea

Did you notice the th5 is almost in the grid...?

8:37 am

Atalante

that was an interesting stance to take on clues

8:38 am

MLFAN17

hi ata

8:39 am

MLFAN17

bzz pb for you no5

8:39 am

MLFAN17

I mean no6

8:48 am

Atalante

hello :)

8:48 am

mattygroves

Afternoon all

8:48 am

M3

im running babble expert, can you tell me how i open the clues in the same window ?

8:53 am

BzznBea

Put your cursor on the edge of the screen and pull to the right?

8:54 am

mkg

whoa, i dont know how to do that. are we talking lickety clues?

8:57 am

bichon

I believe so

8:57 am

mkg

edge of my screen and pull right does nothing

8:58 am

mkg

nope nothing happens. i am on a mac air. edge of screen does nothing

8:58 am

BzznBea

I don't know about mac.

8:58 am

mkg

it highlites everything

8:58 am

mattygroves

Babble expert doesn't work on a Mac, I thought

8:58 am

mkg

ok that explains it

8:58 am

bichon

I don't think you can use Babble Expert on a Mac

9:00 am

mkg

ok.

9:00 am

mkg

i have to manually put in every word into lickety.

9:01 am

mattygroves

You can do the copy and paste. Babble Expert is a little programme that works on a PC but not a Mac which makes life easier, but it a mac version was never developed

9:01 am

mattygroves

You can copy your list though and paste it into the box at the bottom of lickety

9:01 am

bichon

or get something else besides a Mac

9:02 am

mattygroves

I think buying a whole new computer to play Babble is perhaps a wee bit over the top :D

9:03 am

bichon

Depends on how obsessively you want to Babble Expert

9:06 am

Atalante

be cheaper to get someone to take the code over to macs :)

9:11 am

Sam

I use Lickety every day on my Mac, which can't use Expert. I open a separate window for Lickety, reduce it to a narrow panel and put it on the left side of the screen, with Babble open in a window to the right, but not full screen, so I can see the list as I play. To begin, I copy and paste all my words from Babble to Lickety's Bulk Grab box, click Add Bulk, then go back to the top of Lickety and work on the words I missed. Not quite as interactive as Expert, but it works. If I get confused, I just copy the words again to fill in the ones I have so I can see clearly what's missing.

9:12 am

Sam

Sorry, meant Bull Add box.

9:13 am

Sam

I actually helped Lickety develop Expert back when I had a Windows machine. Ironic that I can't use it now.

9:13 am

BzznBea

You can't develop for a Mac, Sam?

9:15 am

Sam

No. I'm not a developer or a coder. I beta tested for Lickety. I'm just a user. So I'm not useless...

9:15 am

BzznBea

=)

9:16 am

Sam

If you installed Parallels on a Mac you could run Windows and use Expert. But that costs money.

9:16 am

9:20 am

MollyL

Believe it or not, there are people who don't understand the concept of tab browsing (having several internet tabs open at once) I used to try and explain it to Ruby, but she never got it.

9:21 am

cybernan

good morning all

9:22 am

BzznBea

I'd be lost without tabs...

9:24 am

BzznBea

I hate backwards words!

9:27 am

M3

thank you BZZ

9:28 am

MollyL

Ruby had it in her head that in order to check her email, she would have to close out of Babble. I tried many ways to explain tabs, but it is really something that you need to show someone.

9:31 am

BzznBea

Finally found my last word...thought it was a phantom..Need a drink for that one!

9:31 am

MollyL

Cheers!

9:34 am

BzznBea

See you all tomorrow.

9:44 am

penquis

bye bea...

9:54 am

MollyL

Bea knocks off another one. I think she is Super Woman. She has time to finish these grids, take care of her family, take care of her community and make beautiful quilts.

9:55 am

penquis

and cook yummy sounding meals!...

10:01 am

cybernan

I love her quilted tote bags

10:07 am

10:36 am

MollyL

a + anagram for grain that comes with Chinese food + consumed food

10:37 am

MollyL

It means convert iron into steel, if that means anything to you or you want to look it up by definition

10:38 am

cybernan

ty molly - another new one for me

10:39 am

MollyL

Oh never mind looking up the definition. All you get is smelt

10:41 am

cybernan

fa 8 please?

10:43 am

cybernan

could never figure out why people feel the need to replace perfectly understandable words with a new one that nobody understands

10:43 am

cybernan

do they think they are making themselves sound smarter?

10:44 am

MollyL

That is my take on it.

10:45 am

MollyL

The fa8 is the fa5 with three vowels at the end

10:46 am

MollyL

The fa5 that is a gem surface

10:46 am

cybernan

have the 5 and 6

10:46 am

MLFAN17

11:18 am

aebmusica

11:22 am

aebmusica

nvm

11:28 am

MollyL

Ah, to redo Santa's landing strip

11:28 am

rururocks

i never fell for the Santa thing

11:29 am

rururocks

no fat guy was going to get down our chimney

11:38 am

MollyL

Oh I fell for it hard. And all the fairy tales. Therefore being very disappointed when the reality of adulthood hit.

11:39 am

rururocks

having a cynical older brother helped a lot too

11:40 am

MollyL

One of the family photographs that made it through the years is me, age 5, sitting on Santa's lap. That gets trotted out at the holiday time.

11:41 am

MollyL

Why have I always thought your brother was younger? Maybe because you are the more mature and you did all that cooking when you were younger.

11:52 am

clg47

My neighbor had a Christmas party with Santa handing out gifts. My daughter was 13 months old and I told my neighbor not to make her sit on Santa's lap. My neighbor thought she knew better - bottom line my daughter threw up on Santa's lap - not a good photo op.

11:55 am

MollyL

Oh, I think that is a classic holiday photo.
: D

11:56 am

rururocks

my brother is 4 years older than me and can't even make jello.. he's hopeless in the kitchen

11:56 am

rururocks

fortunately he married a woman who can cook

11:57 am

rururocks

that's funny cig

12:04 pm

clg47

When she was 3 she wanted to dress up as Santa for Halloween. I took her red long johns, black rain boots, a paper plate with cotton balls glued on and she was a cute little Santa.

12:10 pm

rururocks

now halloween i was all in on as a kid

12:12 pm

MollyL

I feel sorry for present day kids. Halloween is not nearly as fun as it was when we were kids.

12:13 pm

rururocks

true very true

12:14 pm

rururocks

it's still fun in my neighborhood as the little kids are abundant

12:14 pm

clg47

it is still fun for them.

12:14 pm

rururocks

many come with homemade costumes that are very clever and cute

12:17 pm

rururocks

i better get a move on.. have to prepare dinner for my petsitters and exercise and clean house..

12:18 pm

clg47

Homemade costumes are the best. Now costumes came out for movies immediately. Same daughter year of the first Ewok movie. She wanted to be an Ewok! I dyed her footed pj's, made additional Ewok feet, head cover with feathers and string, and a wooden spear with a sponge carved to be the spear. It's always fun to see what you can make.

12:18 pm

periwinkle

Go Ask Alice

2:11 pm

MollyL

When she's ten feet tall

2:15 pm

PastorJ

I think I'd rather talk to her when she's small!

2:27 pm

MollyL

She got smaller, and smaller, till at last she was just the size of a little doll!

2:28 pm

hurshy

i have most of the 9s, but no 8s. anyone want to nudge me?

2:30 pm

hokie carla

just sat back down here, no 8's and what 9's are you referring to?

2:31 pm

hurshy

lol i meant i have most of the 7s

2:31 pm

hurshy

finger went rogue on me

2:33 pm

hurshy

Es Eliminated!

2:34 pm

hokie carla

I still have like 89 left ,so miles to go before I sleep

2:34 pm

hurshy

np :)

2:39 pm

hokie carla

no blowfish here

2:39 pm

hurshy

yeah

2:44 pm

hurshy

well, got the list instead, and first 8 is ac8 and it's weird.

2:46 pm

hurshy

fa8, also a bit nutty

2:47 pm

hokie carla

a's are always weird

2:47 pm

hokie carla

not factoid

2:48 pm

hurshy

no, you have to add 3 vowels to the end of an fa5

2:51 pm

hurshy

ra7/8 combo is also weird

2:52 pm

hurshy

and another ra8 is also weird

2:53 pm

hurshy

st8, also weird. no normal 8s.

2:54 pm

hurshy

the end

2:54 pm

hurshy

:D

2:55 pm

MollyL

Is there anything normal about Babble?

2:59 pm

hokie carla

most big words are weird to me :D

3:02 pm

hokie carla

ooh, just finished of the H

3:02 pm

hokie carla

so I guess no to the spanish no6

3:05 pm

MollyL

Well at least it is not the Spanish estate, which provided a laughable clue request and "I don't get it" yesterday.

3:06 pm

hokie carla

well, I was here for part of it and everyone kept saying ranch and then all the versions of ranch. at least estate seems more likely to be estancia

3:07 pm

hokie carla

I guess enable predates roofies

3:08 pm

ChampFit

Sometimes a clue just makes sense to you, for no valid reason. You never know what's going to help someone.

3:09 pm

hokie carla

I can only find 1 e in the 4th col. what the heck

3:10 pm

hokie carla

got one more

3:10 pm

hokie carla

and 2 more.

3:11 pm

hokie carla

now just need one there. just had to talk about it here to be able to see them.

3:14 pm

hokie carla

have finally achieved half on each tile. well, except the highest i, but can't get half of 1.

3:14 pm

hokie carla

ooh, just found that because I typed here

3:15 pm

ChampFit

That one took me forever...then I felt stupid! ;)

3:15 pm

hokie carla

yep

3:15 pm

hokie carla

I had already tried this morning

3:16 pm

ChampFit

Me too. Found it after lunch. Pretty sure my lovely martini helped...

3:16 pm

hokie carla

:D

3:19 pm

Uneaixoise

So what IS st8????

3:20 pm

Uneaixoise

Have ac8 and ra8......

3:20 pm

hokie carla

I only found the fa8 when hurshy was going through them.

3:21 pm

Uneaixoise

Clue?

3:21 pm

hokie carla

witty remarks, noun version of "being fa*" adj version

3:22 pm

hokie carla

looks like latin plural of noun

3:22 pm

periwinkle

hi all. I now have an AC in my living room. It is from a friend. It is old but still works. While I am very grateful to have it I miss the lovely breeze that used to come in from that window. They brought it over and put it in the window for me.

3:22 pm

periwinkle

Now I need someone to put the AC in the bedroom window

3:23 pm

periwinkle

I really do not like to ask people for help but it is not something I can do by myself Think I will ask my neighbor across the hall

3:23 pm

hokie carla

are you in a house? I know you rent just don't rem. hearing what type of building.

3:23 pm

periwinkle

not liking this grid and not sure I will finish

3:23 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx Carla

3:23 pm

periwinkle

I am in an apartment in a house

3:24 pm

hokie carla

how about ac & ra clues, une?

3:24 pm

MollyL

So having the air conditioner in the window blocks your ability for fresh air. Sad trade.

3:24 pm

hokie carla

ah, I see

3:24 pm

periwinkle

many years ago it was a single home.

3:24 pm

periwinkle

do you have ac7?

3:24 pm

MollyL

I get it Peri. I don't like asking people for help either.

3:24 pm

periwinkle

yes Molly, I do have another window though but it is not the same and I much prefer fresh air.

3:25 pm

i'm okay. PEA, a new med for FM is working rather well. now waiting for workcover approval for a nerve stimulator implant. don has asthma probs. ever since we flew to QLD in Feb. some days are better than others.

7:43 pm

Lizlin

Doesn't sound pleasant for either of you. Did the asthma appear out of nowhere - I mean, he's never had it before?

7:43 pm

Lizlin

But good that the new FM med is working for you.

7:45 pm

grannyrose

he is a chronic asthmatic. planes seem to trigger it. something to do with the A/C on board. we did find saline nasal spray during flight did help with the severity i.e. reduced it. ut on the short hop to QLD he didn't bother. and we are still paying for that.

7:46 pm

Lizlin

Ah well! Hopefully if and when borders are reopened and you ever decide to fly again, you won't make that mistake. I've only reacted like that on a plane once - that was on a really long flight to LA. My allergies went crazy!

7:50 pm

Really struggling with my last word. The first re 6. Can someone please lend me a clue?
