6:09 am

Scrabbler

Good morning.

6:10 am

aslindy

hi scrabs!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

I slept most of the last 18 hours due to a migraine. I have emerged all better.

6:11 am

aslindy

I had a terrible migraine yesterday, too, and slept most of the day. glad you are better!

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Most of my migraines are weather-triggered, and most are mild-moderate. This one was a whopper and I am glad I was not working.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Don't you hate losing days to migraines?

6:13 am

aslindy

yes, I do. and this one was the worst I've had all year, and I was so nauseated too

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

6:13 am

aslindy

most of mine come from my neck, especially if I sleep with my head tipped back

6:14 am

Scrabbler

In the last several years my origin changed from the left forehead to the left occiput--base of skull.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

I have had migraines for 40 years now.

6:16 am

aslindy

about 30 years for me

6:16 am

aslindy

I've been on aimovig - once monthly injection - for a couple years now, so migraine frequency is greatly reduced

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I get about 2-4 migraines per month and have pondered this med.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

6-7 years ago I had chronic (daily) migraines and took topiramate for a year or so.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Any side effects from the injections?

6:19 am

aslindy

I tried topamax for a while but it made me so antsy and crazy

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I was ok and it broke the cycle for me.

6:20 am

aslindy

none, really, other than very vivid dreams for a couple weeks when I started it

6:20 am

aslindy

if you do try it, most people find injecting into the belly is less painful than leg or arm. doesn't hurt at all.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Is the injection done in a neurologist's office?

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Oh, you do it?

6:21 am

aslindy

no, it's an auto-injector you can do yourself

6:22 am

aslindy

my daughter also uses it, she found back of arm to be less painful, so I do those for her

6:22 am

Scrabbler

I will do more reading. I heard of the med but wasn't sure if I needed to go that route.

6:23 am

aslindy

most insurance requires you to have tried something like 3 other preventatives first

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Magnesium, vitamin B2

6:23 am

aslindy

and the aimovig web site has info on a card that will help reduce your cost, too

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Have you had any concussions?

6:25 am

aslindy

mild one, yes

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I have had 2, most recent was 7 years ago, that was a bad one.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Thanks for the info, aslindy.

6:27 am

aslindy

you are welcome

6:53 am

Scrabbler

I am getting close to halfway.

6:55 am

aslindy

I have 80 left

6:55 am

Scrabbler

Go go.

6:58 am

aslindy

can't believe soonish is not a word

7:00 am

Scrabbler

Should I try it?

7:01 am

Scrabbler

You're right, it's not a word.

7:02 am

aslindy

it's a word to me, but I guess that doesn't count

7:13 am

Scrabbler

I am stuck with 88 left. Maybe I will return tonight. Enjoy the day. aslindy, may our brains behave.

7:16 am

aslindy

you have a good day too!

7:17 am

Scrabbler

Bye

7:27 am

mattygroves

2:54 pm

MollyL

3:41 pm

periwinkle

ty Bea

3:41 pm

Chryst4l

i wasnt sure how a word was called and i googled Antohomonym and the only result was one of these puzzles form Wednesday, May 26, 2010, and only one user typed it, so i went to todays puzzle and i searched if anyone on the leaderboard from then was still active

3:42 pm

BzznBea

And was there anyone?

3:42 pm

Chryst4l

yes, periwinkle, also hurshy

3:43 pm

3:43 pm

rururocks

I was playing back then.. but I sure don't remember that word

3:43 pm

rururocks

although I'm not sure what the Leaderboard is

3:44 pm

Chryst4l

yeah youre also on the leaderboard, it wasnt a word in the grid itself but one person used it in chat apperantly

3:44 pm

Chryst4l

Final scores maybe, not leaderboard

3:45 pm

rururocks

well.. there are some pretty brainy people here Chryst

3:45 pm

Chryst4l

i just thought it was super interesting that i was able to find people from 10 years ago still active on a community ive never heard of just because i misspelled a word

3:46 pm

Chryst4l

literally the only mention of the misspelling of the word antihomonym

3:47 pm

rururocks

well.. I don't know how "active" we are.. but we're still kicking around :D

3:47 pm

Sophie512

Chryst.....I'm relatively new here (just a few months) retired teacher, but I never correct anyone's spelling....we all make typos.... no biggy

3:48 pm

MollyL

There are people still playing that have been around longer than 10 years

3:48 pm

Chryst4l

indeed, but again, super interesting that google was only able to find this one mention

3:48 pm

Sophie512

19 left, need to let doggos out to play again before it gets dark..... not a fan of the time change, OR the cold weather

3:49 pm

Ru, how is Buddy?

3:51 pm

Chryst4l

thank you

3:51 pm

rururocks

he's pooped out today.. we went for a 6 mile walk today.. he's asleep under my desk

3:51 pm

BzznBea

Has he settled in well?

3:52 pm

rururocks

oh yeah.. he is bonded to me now and knows this is his new home

3:52 pm

rururocks

he's a dream dog.. so easy, so happy, so gentle and calm

3:52 pm

BzznBea

I'm sure it didn't take long.

3:53 pm

rururocks

the bonding is something new.. but I"m hyper-sensitive to behavioral stuff so I've recently noticed a big change

3:54 pm

Sophie512

Is that Buddy in the picture?

3:54 pm

rururocks

no.. that was my last dog, Dylan

3:55 pm

rururocks

Buddy is a 4 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever

3:55 pm

BzznBea

We transported an owner surrunder a couple weeks ago. She was so confused. I felt badly for her.

3:55 pm

rururocks

i know.. he was out of sorts for a long while too.. but he figured it out and he's safe here

3:59 pm

Sophie512

omy, I love labs..... we had a chocolate, then a yellow, both passed,,,, then less than 2 yrs before my husband died, we got a black male....BEST dog ever....he became mine after the passing of my husband....I still miss him.... my rescue, Sophie, has been mistreated and it's taken her a long time to trust me... but she's doing much better

3:59 pm

Sophie512

hahaha

4:00 pm

BzznBea

Is she a Jack Russel?

4:00 pm

Sophie512

re-reading that it sounds like I miss Shadow more than my husband.....actually it was harder with Shadow, very sudden

4:00 pm

Sophie512

they think part Jack R but bigger, maybe part boxer...I'm not going to pay to get her DNA, doesn't really matter

4:01 pm

BzznBea

That's all we have, boxers.

4:03 pm

Sophie512

they are a sweet breed, too

4:04 pm

hokie carla

looks like MLFAN and ruru were in the chat that day. and Harry played but I didn't see any chats by him. might've been during my hiatus.

4:05 pm

BzznBea

I was playing then too but probably not that day.

4:05 pm

Chryst4l

which harry, harryhood?

4:06 pm

rururocks

may 26th 2010 was the first day in Babble I started cracking corny jokes and puns

4:08 pm

mab

seems like just yesterday ru

4:08 pm

mab

ha

4:08 pm

rururocks

:D I know.. I took the game much more seriously in 2010

4:09 pm

BzznBea

I'm concerned about mlf's absense.

4:10 pm

rururocks

me too a bit

4:10 pm

rururocks

I hope she wasn't captured by ISIS terrorists or anything

4:10 pm

rolin

ok...is it me..or did it say in your profile when you started playing bable?....cos I can't see it now.

4:11 pm

hurshy

it's in green at the top right of your profile

4:11 pm

Chryst4l

says here august 19 2005 for you

4:11 pm

rururocks

it does in the right hand corner for every player rolin

4:11 pm

BzznBea

I was thinking she might have been ufoed.

4:11 pm

rolin

aaahhhh...profile not account...ty ru

4:12 pm

Sophie512

Hello Rolin

4:12 pm

rururocks

The Taliban could have arrested her and she's living in a yurt and herding goats

4:12 pm

gemini_J13

noot

4:13 pm

BzznBea

One of the podcasts I listen to uses the term ufoed.

4:13 pm

rururocks

noot to you too gemini

4:13 pm

Chryst4l

wait, if a letter has 0/0 in the tile stats, does that mean that no word with that letter exists or what, im dummy dum dum

4:13 pm

gemini_J13

hate when that happens!!!!

4:13 pm

mab

where is mlf? mongolia?

4:14 pm

rururocks

0/0 means that no word can originate from that tile

4:14 pm

Chryst4l

ahh ok

4:14 pm

BzznBea

Carla, did you ever figure out where mlf lived?

4:14 pm

rururocks

0-0 was a cranky old asshole who played here a long time and berated players :D

4:15 pm

rururocks

he being of superior intellect and all

4:17 pm

BzznBea

Granddaughter just called. She tested +

4:17 pm

rururocks

ooooh no

4:17 pm

mab

we need a scrapbook - this is your life, playbabble. 'well I remember the first day lola and ang snogged in the corner.'

4:17 pm

mab

that sort of thing.

4:18 pm

BzznBea

I heard about ang the other day.

4:18 pm

mab

oh no, bea.

4:18 pm

rururocks

well lola and ang have nothing on French Toast and Italian Greyhound who got very steamy

4:19 pm

BzznBea

She will be fine, ru. Sh had her first dose of the vaccine and she is only 8.

4:19 pm

BzznBea

Is that French is not here?

4:19 pm

mab

still a bit scary.

4:19 pm

rururocks

so steamy in fact we had a ton of dim sum in the PB

4:20 pm

BzznBea

She is most upset because she will not beable to use her Jag bucks at school on Monday. =)

4:22 pm

mab

i like babble scandal. the happy kind.

4:23 pm

BzznBea

Guess I will go see what grub I can rustle up for dinner. I got a beautiful pointy head cabbage today.

4:23 pm

mab

it's mostly faux scandal, but still.

4:24 pm

BzznBea

It is fun, isn't it, mab?

4:24 pm

rururocks

yeah someone fauxed up

4:25 pm

mab

even the battles are fascinating, if it's not your battle.

4:27 pm

Sophie512

8 left.....time out for lunch/supper Lupper? Sunch??

4:27 pm

MollyL

Apparently too steamy since French Toast has disappeared

4:27 pm

BzznBea

I was wondering, Molly...

4:28 pm

BzznBea

I hope it's not because of her mom.

4:28 pm

MollyL

Bea you are such a worrier

4:29 pm

BzznBea

I am! It is in my DNA!

4:29 pm

MollyL

And you're not even Irish or Jewish
: D

4:29 pm

BzznBea

I'm sure that I once lived as a Jewish woman.

4:31 pm

BzznBea

I'm not sure that my great great grandparents were not non practicing Jews.

4:33 pm

BzznBea

I'll see you all tomorrow.

4:33 pm

rururocks

bye bea

4:39 pm

hokie carla

rehi, missed bea's question, but no, I could never figure out where MLFAN lived exactly

4:42 pm

hokie carla

so, this is what I have left - i O TT SS O H SSS T WWW U RRR

4:43 pm

hokie carla

I know ruru said it was easy, but I don't know

4:47 pm

hokie carla

found 2!

4:49 pm

wht

the u8 is not the so6.

4:50 pm

hokie carla

well that is my missing U, thanks. hopefully I have the so6 it isn't

4:51 pm

hokie carla

I did! thanks.

4:53 pm

wht

It is a good thing that you had the so6. I have no idea what that word means, except that it is the name of a restuarnt in Boston's Back Bay.

4:54 pm

hokie carla

I only know it from here and know that it's scottish and can also end in y.

4:55 pm

hurshy

i think i've seen it used by LM Montgomery, maybe

4:55 pm

hokie carla

is that an author?

4:55 pm

hurshy

yes, Anne of Green Gables

4:56 pm

hokie carla

ah, hold on to your hat, I don't think I ever read that

4:56 pm

Chryst4l

oi this is hard

4:57 pm

hokie carla

it gets easier the more you play!

4:59 pm

hokie carla

also, if you look at the bottom under "friends of babble" and click on lickety's babble clues, that will give you a list what you need (and alphabetically), which helps a lot.

5:02 pm

wht

And you can cut and paste the words from your word list into Lickety's Clues so it is easy to see what you have missed.

5:03 pm

hokie carla

yes, sorry I left that off.

5:04 pm

wht

Chryst4l, if you play a while you will find yourself learning an amazing number of obscure words that will never come up in conversation.

5:04 pm

hokie carla

I'm really stuck with 15 left, so I guess I will open the list.

5:09 pm

wht

Do you need any clues Hokie?

5:10 pm

hokie carla

well, I'm kinda struggling with the list, so I guess I do.

5:10 pm

hokie carla

last ru6 and last tu6?

5:12 pm

wht

ru6 ends in a trig function

5:12 pm

hokie carla

well that's new, thx

5:14 pm

wht

tu6 is an oriental moth that produces brownish silk.

5:15 pm

hokie carla

hmm, will just look that one up

5:15 pm

wht

From the ending, you would think it was spoken with a Boston accent.

5:16 pm

wht

I hope that this is sufficient confusion for you. I need to go put together my dinner.

5:16 pm

wht

Good night all.

5:16 pm

hokie carla

good night, and thanks!

5:20 pm

Trifioso

count for the single i in the fourth column, please?

5:22 pm

Sophie512

sorry

5:22 pm

hokie carla

I believe that is IS8, which is a plural from a 7 coming from another i.

5:23 pm

Sophie512

I have all of the Is but don

5:23 pm

Trifioso

oy. thank you

5:23 pm

Sophie512

don't remember where they came from

5:23 pm

Trifioso

guess I shall have to slog through all the i's - babble has made it my least favorite letter!

5:24 pm

hokie carla

can give you a clue, trif, if you want

5:24 pm

Trifioso

yes please - so stuck

5:25 pm

Trifioso

is it something science-y?

5:25 pm

hokie carla

sophie, do you know how to tell where they come from? sometimes it's hard to tell but there is a method to the madness

5:25 pm

hokie carla

to paraphrase ruru - OJ's favorite murdering gloves (but minus a letter)

5:26 pm

Trifioso

ooooh great clue! Thank you

5:26 pm

Trifioso

nbt at long last! 83 words in, how embarrassing

5:33 pm

eieios

OJ's favorite murdering gloves?

5:33 pm

eieios

i don't get it....

5:34 pm

hokie carla

it's a brand of leather gloves

5:34 pm

eieios

all i can think is too small or in6.

5:34 pm

hokie carla

if it doesn't fit you must acquit

5:35 pm

eieios

ah. don't know wha brand they were. oh well.

5:35 pm

hokie carla

they're the only brand of leather gloves I can think of. LOL. been around for many years.

5:36 pm

hokie carla

they also make slippers

5:36 pm

eieios

i live in Texas. we don't need gloves here. lol

5:36 pm

hokie carla

good point

5:37 pm

hokie carla

how's your physics?

5:39 pm

Lizlin

Good morning all

5:39 pm

hokie carla

hey liz!

5:40 pm

hurshy

i liked the kind of physics where they let you just entirely ignore the existence of friction/air resistance.

5:40 pm

Lizlin

Have to admit, I just used morewords for that is 7/8. I had no idea about the gloves

5:40 pm

hokie carla

I never took physics

5:41 pm

eieios

i had to google it, liz

5:41 pm

hokie carla

would a physics definition have helped, liz?

5:41 pm

eieios

clues or stats for the middle o?

5:41 pm

Lizlin

But I guess it's a clever clue, now I know the reference.

5:42 pm

Lizlin

Possibly os 6/18

5:42 pm

eieios

i'm not enjoying this grid....

5:42 pm

eieios

also, why no joie?

5:42 pm

hokie carla

os5/10 is one for sure

5:42 pm

Lizlin

it started off well but it's tough now.

5:43 pm

hokie carla

2 os5/10 from that one

5:43 pm

hokie carla

and the 3rd is like liz said, os6

5:43 pm

Lizlin

And definitely that os6/18

5:43 pm

Lizlin

As Carla said :)

5:45 pm

Lizlin

Wow! Using Lickety - lots of words I entered yesterday have disappeared. I know that happens sometimes, but it hasn't for a while for me.

5:46 pm

hokie carla

ugh

5:47 pm

Lizlin

Yup!

5:48 pm

Lizlin

Why is it that I remembered that French si5 a few days ago but needed Lickety to remind me today? Memory is weird.

5:48 pm

hokie carla

yep, happens to me a lot

5:54 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks :) Have a good day / evening everyone. Off to make some sourdough bread.

5:54 pm

hokie carla

yum, good night!

5:54 pm

hokie carla

hello...

6:50 pm

mich_pdx

hi Pen, hi all

6:50 pm

penquis

hi mich...

6:51 pm

mich_pdx

I didn't start last night after the flip, so there's a treasure trove today!

6:52 pm

penquis

ah, yes....i was here earlier this afternoon....

6:56 pm

hokie carla

pen...what do you think of the bee today? I only have 38 pts (nice) and no pangram. don't see any words!

6:58 pm

penquis

i have 54 pts. and no panagram....but it's tough...i stopped at Amazing...

6:58 pm

penquis

it wasn't much fun today...

6:58 pm

hokie carla

this is definitely the hardest one for me so far

6:58 pm

hokie carla

yeah, not fun

6:59 pm

hokie carla

apparently the pangram is archaic. I didn't think he used words like that.

7:00 pm

penquis

he isn't supposed to.....according to his own rules...

7:00 pm

hokie carla

exactly

7:01 pm

hokie carla

did you see he's only like 25?

7:01 pm

penquis

i think fopette should be a word... ;o)

7:02 pm

penquis

no...i think they should use a standard dictionary....he accepts some slang and then not others....

7:02 pm

hokie carla

I tried foppet

7:02 pm

penquis

i thought a french ending was cuter... ;o)

7:02 pm

hokie carla

yeah, some plants but not others, some animals but not others. he's almost as inconsistent as enable.

7:03 pm

hokie carla

it is, but you know I never see the french ending

7:03 pm

penquis

yes, but i do, lol....

7:06 pm

penquis

when i am tired or find the bee not very fun, i try to get to Amazing, but sometimes I don't even get there...

7:06 pm

Vicuna

I tried Spelling Bee for the first time this afternoon after hursh gave the link. I found only 3 words, but the third was the pangram, after which it said "Great Job" and kicked me out. Is that normal? Do you have to wait and make sure to enter the pangram last?

7:07 pm

penquis

you have to subscribe to continue playing...

7:07 pm

Vicuna

Ah, makes sense. Well, I have enough ways to waste time already. lol

7:08 pm

hokie carla

yeah, they let you find a certain number of points for free, so if you had found a bunch of small words first you could've played longer.

7:08 pm

hokie carla

but you're just too good for that, vicuna! 😜

7:08 pm

Vicuna

Haha, but the irony is that I was struggling to find even 2 4-letter words before I saw the long one.

7:09 pm

hokie carla

yeah, today is really the worst

7:09 pm

hokie carla

I will say first word I saw was pfft and I wasn't sure it would take

7:10 pm

penquis

ah...didn't try that one...

7:10 pm

Vicuna

I never see words like that in Babble. They stump me every time.

7:10 pm

hokie carla

guess I will just settle for Nice today

7:11 pm

penquis

there are lots of P words today...

7:12 pm

penquis

in the Bee, that is...

7:12 pm

Vicuna

And that's fireworks for me here, so Farewell!

7:12 pm

penquis

congrats...

7:15 pm

hokie carla

well done

7:17 pm

penquis

all but 5 of my Bee words are P words...

7:20 pm

hokie carla

I have 10 P's and 3 others

7:21 pm

penquis

i have one vowel word...

7:21 pm

penquis

i have 12 Ps...and 4 Ts....

7:23 pm

hokie carla

just found a T. I have 10 Ps, 3 T's and a G

7:23 pm

penquis

ah...i don't have a G...

7:23 pm

penquis

my vowel word is an E...

7:24 pm

hokie carla

got an E!

7:24 pm

penquis

a four?

7:25 pm

hokie carla

yep

7:26 pm

hokie carla

and another P, now I'm Great

7:27 pm

penquis

Great... ;o)

7:34 pm

penquis

well i am stuck with three left... :o(

7:36 pm

hokie carla

here? I went to the list with 15 and then had to look up like 6.

7:37 pm

penquis

yes, here....

7:38 pm

penquis

at the Bee i would need 15 more points to get to Amazing.....probably need the pangram...

7:38 pm

penquis

found the pangram!>....i am a Genius... LOL>...

7:39 pm

hokie carla

I need 5 pts for Amazing

7:39 pm

penquis

i was at Amazing and need the 15 to get to Genius....

7:39 pm

hokie carla

well that was fast. genius!

7:39 pm

penquis

do you want a clue for the pangram?....

7:40 pm

hokie carla

nah, but thanks

7:40 pm

hokie carla

I'll just read it tomorrow

7:41 pm

penquis

i just guessed....it was vaguely familiar but i couldn't recall the meaning...

7:41 pm

hokie carla

oh, I am getting some computer glasses! wish I had them right now.

7:41 pm

penquis

nice...i am sure it will help you...

7:41 pm

hokie carla

yes

7:41 pm

penquis

can you clue the in 7?

7:42 pm

hokie carla

also getting some progressive sunglasses so I can read my watch and phone outside

7:42 pm

penquis

cool....

7:42 pm

hokie carla

in7 ends it a word for location, like a dig __

7:43 pm

hokie carla

one of the ones I looked up

7:43 pm

penquis

fount it...ty...new one for me...

7:43 pm

penquis

how about the second OT 6?

7:44 pm

penquis

nm....pulled a peri.. ;o)

7:44 pm

hokie carla

looked that one up too. we've had it but I didn't remember.

7:45 pm

penquis

i remember it because OT 6 media is a middle ear infection....remembered that from doing evaluations...

7:46 pm

penquis

how about the ast TU 6?

7:47 pm

hokie carla

oh, that one I got, it was the first OT6 I had to look up

7:48 pm

penquis

yes, but i don't have it...LOL...

7:48 pm

hokie carla

tu - ends like maybe a bostonian might say

7:48 pm

hokie carla

a silkworm from india

7:49 pm

penquis

ty...i am done...

7:49 pm

hokie carla

good job

7:49 pm

hokie carla

I'm doing tomorrow's crossword already

7:49 pm

penquis

ty...but i did list for the last 44....was tired....

7:50 pm

penquis

i did today's but i will save the Sunday one for tomorrow...

7:51 pm

penquis

i played two hours of tennis this morning in a charity tournament for hunger relief....

7:52 pm

hokie carla

nice. we got our mt. biking friends to play pickleball with us today. I think they're hooked.

7:52 pm

penquis

cool....your hubbie plays, too?

7:52 pm

penquis

the pickleballers are playing in their section of the hunger drive tomorrow...

7:54 pm

hokie carla

yes, he's hooked too

7:55 pm

penquis

it's nice to be able to play together...

7:57 pm

hokie carla

yeah, we normally have to play each other in singles but week before this past one we played doubles every day in Hilton Head.

7:57 pm

hokie carla

we played some doubles tennis together a few years back but he never really got into it

7:58 pm

penquis

i can see where pickleball would be easier to hop right in to play...

7:59 pm

penquis

well i am heading out....goodnight, carla....*waving to the lurkers*.....

7:59 pm

Chryst4l
