Really, really p**d off here! Somebody using Android, as far as I can tell, must have hacked into my FB account last night and now I'm locked out of my own account. FB help is no bloody help at all! It won't even let me change my password. If I have to make a new account I will lose 15 years' worth of photos and posts, not to mention have to re-contact all my friends. It's also the main way I keep in touch with friends and family each day. GRRR!
1:19 am
Jacula

I don't use FB on my phone and don't have an Android phone anyway, so I know it wasn't me!
1:20 am
Jacula

Can't even find out how to contact a real person who works for FB to sort it out.
1:22 am
Jacula

If any Babble friends who are friends with me on FB see this, can you please look at my page and see what's going on there and if it still looks like me?
1:23 am
Jacula

Don't try to PM me, as my messenger is on FB. Email, if you know my email.
1:23 am
Jacula

Or tell me on here.
1:23 am
Jacula

Oh, I'm so angry!
1:45 am
Jacula

*~*~*~*FIREWORKS!*~*~*~* Anger has obviously spurred me on!

I mean WHY would anyone want to hack an FB account that mostly talks about cats, dogs, foxes and hedgehogs, gardening, baking and knitting? I have made a few 'rude; remarks about a certain mad president recently. Maybe that's it?
1:48 am

2:17 am
Jacula

I just logged into the Twitter account I opened years ago and never used and tweeted that my FB acount had been hacked and then got asked for verification on that site. Is this a Russian cyber attack on social media accounts?
2:18 am
Jacula

I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories, but, these days, who knows?
3:09 am
rbud

I guess we're not friends on FB, but the newest thing I can see is where you changed your profile pic on Mar 7 to a drawing that looks like it was done with crayons? If you did that yourself, then at least that's ok. I had to go to the Babble FB page and look under files to find your "real" or Facebook name there, wasn't totally positive what it was, though it turned out I was right.
3:11 am
rbud

If the worst happens, your friends there should be able to snag up all your pics and send them to you in emails, but that sure does sound like a lot of work. hopefully it will work out, good luck!

May I have a bit of a clue for the ye6/24 please? I'm just not seeing it (the hammering and drilling next door isn't helping, I suspect!)
5:56 am
ItalianGreyhound

its like a shortened gerund, Matty
5:57 am
ItalianGreyhound

5:57 am

Gerund - I'm just lazing around, doing nothing, hanging around, watching the world. Or a car does this when the engine is on but going nowhere

watching the live address of zelenskyy -- he is very inspirational
8:22 am
hurshy

phantom: dinghy
8:27 am
rbud

a lot of it is not a phantom, though I'm sure the meaning is different.
8:28 am
hurshy

meaning very different
8:28 am
rbud

guess your dinghy could be di5, haha.
8:28 am
hurshy

that's why i decided it was ok to say
8:29 am
hurshy

Etymology Matters!
8:29 am
Shirlockc

whatever floats your boat hurshy!
8:29 am
MollyL

Of course it contains di4 but no one seems to care about that anymore
8:30 am
hurshy

one would care if it were actually the same root. that is why Etymology Matters!
8:30 am
BzznBea

Some people care.
8:31 am
hurshy

i refuse to believe that anyone is robbed of the chance to find di4 on their own because i posted that. it's way too obvious a word for you not to have already seen
8:31 am
BzznBea

I agree, hurshy.
8:37 am
mattygroves

I have one Y from the top Y - the yi4/7 - may I have stats for either of the others, please?
8:38 am
hurshy

it's what you do at a yellow traffic light
8:38 am
phaeton

yi5/16
8:38 am

8:39 am

stats for the bottom Y? anyone?
8:39 am

el7 is when you are smushing two sounds together when saying words
8:39 am

ye6.24
8:40 am

Babble says "smushing is not in the dictionary"
😊

ty hurshy
8:41 am
hurshy

:O
8:43 am
Shirlockc

hmmm on both the ye and the el, will work on it later
8:44 am
hurshy

ye6 vaguely reminds me of Prince Humperdinck's security guy, it just has one letter changed
8:46 am
BzznBea

I keep thinking Russian prez Boris.
8:46 am
MollyL

That is a Princess Bride reference for those of you who are wondering who Prince Humperdink is
8:47 am
MollyL

Give us the gate key. I have no gate key. Fezzik, tear his arms off. Oh, you mean THIS gate key.
8:48 am
MollyL

Yoo hoo, Ru. We are talking about your favorite movie again.
8:49 am
bichon

Ours too
8:49 am
Meatball421

am I blind, says "felting" does not exist in the puzzle
8:50 am
hurshy

yes but you probably mean it, bichon. molly is kidding about ruru - he famously refuses to watch it, having a mistaken idea that it is a chick flick
8:50 am
hurshy

felting doesn't, you can't make "ting"
8:50 am
BzznBea

feltiing is in the grid
8:50 am
BzznBea

but not felting
8:51 am
Meatball421

it keeps rejecting me saying no
8:51 am
hurshy

for the reasons we just cited
8:51 am
BzznBea

You can't get to the ng without going to two II

ok I see it now, an extra i is in the way

rururocks

I don’t know why I get castigated for disliking Princesse Bride. Oh well…
8:54 am
rbud

the only other movie (back when) that affected me anything like the Princess Bride was Young Frankenstein - it was a similar type of humor, you know, in a way.
8:54 am
hurshy

disliking is not the same as refusing to watch in the first place
8:55 am
rbud

Though YF was far more "out there"
8:55 am
Uneaixoise

LOVE Young Frankenstein!!
8:55 am
hurshy

anyway i don't think there was any actual castigation there, i merely said that one would be "mistaken" to call it a chick flick and molly was just teasing you
8:56 am
rururocks

I tried to watch it hursh. It was dumb and boring and far too hammy for me
8:56 am
hurshy

if you'd like i could castigate you for it tho
8:57 am
hurshy

phantom: legion
8:57 am
rbud

me, too, (loved YF, I mean). I think my group of college buddies went to see it a half dozen times or so. It was our cult fave, haha.
8:58 am

Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman were great!
8:59 am
hurshy

madeline kahn also great in Clue
8:59 am

Wordle today is to take a lot of people to six tries.
9:01 am
rbud

"Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you..." bwahaha!!
9:01 am
hokie carla

guess I should go get started then
9:01 am
hurshy

oho, i finally found something that uses -ish as an ending meaning somewhat
9:03 am
BzznBea

Well t;s not relish
9:03 am
BzznBea

its
9:03 am
hurshy

well that wouldn't mean "somewhat rel" anyway...

I just found Wordle Unlimited, just what I needed another addiction
9:06 am
hurshy

i couldn't get addicted to wordle, it isn't fun for more than 5 mins
9:06 am
hokie carla

well, I have 1 guess left and at least 2 options, probably more
9:08 am
hokie carla

4 options, odds are getting worse
9:08 am
hurshy

i wish i could give you a hint but then anyone who saw it would have it ruint
9:08 am
BzznBea

Do you need the first and last letter?
9:08 am
hurshy

and as it is only one word, not one out of 233, that seems bad
9:10 am
mattygroves

morewords has a Wordle solver ;)
9:10 am
BzznBea

I had all the correct letters except the first at three. Took me to six to get it.
9:10 am
hokie carla

I don't want a hint, but thanks
9:10 am
hokie carla

and just saw another, so 5 optionsw
9:10 am
rbud

morewords has Morewordle, I've been doing the 5 and 6 letter ones, but not tried the 7's yet. There's a solver for the 5's, too
9:11 am
hurshy

matty - i don't think that would help, it can probably only suggest possibilities, no? it can't know which of the possibilities is right
9:11 am
mattygroves

Well, have a look - you can put in all the letters you've already tried as well
9:11 am
BzznBea

I found the somewhat word.
9:12 am
hurshy

^5
9:12 am
rbud

yeah, sometimes it doesn't help to have all but the first letter, too many choices. I just always try to pick the most common one and hope for the best.
9:13 am
hokie carla

OK, picked one and it was wrong, but one letter off. It also wasn't even in my 5 options.
9:13 am
hurshy

ha
9:13 am
rbud

but the morewordle solver does seem to work, as long as you check off the right colors for the letters.
9:14 am
hokie carla

I mean the answer wasn't in what I thought was left
9:14 am
mattygroves

I read an article somewhere about the best starting word for Wordle. The general consensus was that AROSE is ideal. So I use it every time, with mixed success
9:14 am
BzznBea

It was a tough one.
9:14 am
hurshy

i got today's in 3, go figure
9:14 am
mattygroves

(haven't yet found the 'somewhat word)
9:15 am
hurshy

i have a so funny clue! i hope someone asks for one for the word for which i have it
9:15 am
hokie carla

why do I insist on typing in intel every time?
9:16 am
hurshy

because you used to work for the CIA
9:16 am
LuvWordGames

because words like awol and info are accepted
9:16 am
hurshy

just guessing
9:16 am
Meatball421

I do it too
9:16 am
hokie carla

I guess, but no one's supposed to know that, hurshy
9:17 am
hokie carla

this game is not starting out well either. haven't got half on a single tile.
9:17 am
mattygroves

How many letters is the 'somewhat' word, please?
9:17 am
BzznBea

I did intel too...more than once.
9:17 am
BzznBea

six
9:17 am

phantoms for me are single and shindig

I love a good shindig.

9:18 am

shindig reminds me of firefly
9:18 am
hokie carla

how about a shingid?
9:19 am
hokie carla

firefly the tv show?
9:19 am
mattygroves

Yes, me too! I think it was even the name of an episode
9:19 am
MollyL

I agree with Hurshy about Wordle. I guess that is why I don't understand why people are constantly talking about it.
9:19 am
hokie carla

I need to have another rewatching
9:19 am
hokie carla

I literally always try atmo when it's here
9:20 am

yeah it was an episode. they also made reference to it on castle

oh the irony!!!

ty matty
9:22 am
mattygroves

I feel like I've tried every possible combination for the 'somewhat' word with six letters. Clearly, though, I haven't.
9:22 am
BzznBea

The 9 must have a six?
9:23 am
LuvWordGames

yes
9:23 am
hurshy

yes
9:23 am
mattygroves

It does indeed
9:23 am
rururocks

the 9 is super easy
9:23 am
mattygroves

And the en is a prefix - once you spot it, you'll get a whole slew of words off the back of it
9:23 am

not if you're still asleep

Sarah was 7lb 9oz
9:30 am

I had little babes. Only about six pounds.

My kids were 9, 10 and 11 pounds. I never felt the need to add ounces to their birth weight.
9:30 am

i was over 10 pounds

One of our daughters had 9 and 10 pounders.

We hiked a lot, played Scrabble, and worked on jigsaw puzzles. And laughed our asses off.

laughing is good!

Oh, certainly! I'm not going for a month - Sarah won't be THAT late. I'll be there for Matilda's birthday as well

So true, hurshy. I just listened to Zelensky's plea to the US. Such emotion and focus on humanity. Too much to comprehend.

wasn't it just a different brand of hair remover? I am not sure
10:18 am

Rub on, scrape off...might as well just shave
10:19 am

except for razors

neet is also now an acronym standing for "not employed, in education or training"

10:23 am
CowExploder

totally agree about dst
10:24 am
Scrabbler

It needs to happen.
10:24 am
CowExploder

all because of golf courses and candy companies
10:24 am
hokie carla

but I agree with aloy - I'll believe it when I see it
10:24 am
rururocks

candy companies?
10:25 am
CowExploder

candy companies like dst because more kids will trick or treat at halloween
10:25 am
CowExploder

which is why it always changes back after then
10:25 am
CowExploder

they were the ones who paid for DST to become a reality in the first place
10:25 am
rururocks

wow.. i have never heard that one
10:26 am
CowExploder

along with golf courses
10:26 am
rururocks

the golf courses someone mentioned yesterday
10:26 am
hokie carla

I'm not sure about that. it just got extended to first weekend in Nov sometime in the 2000s, so before that it ended first weekend in Oct.
10:27 am
CowExploder

because it was originally golf courses who lobbied for it
10:27 am
CowExploder

and then candy companies jumped on later
10:28 am
hurshy

so the senate passed it unanimously, which i think is a good sign
10:28 am
MollyL

That is interesting. We always waited until it got dark to trick or treat.
10:28 am
hurshy

however, it would not kick in until fall 2023, if it passes, because i guess airlines said they would need time to prepare, idk why
10:29 am
hurshy

so we will still be falling back and springing forward at least one more time each
10:29 am
CowExploder

same with me, molly
10:29 am
CowExploder

but it probably depends on the neighborhood you're in
10:29 am

it always screws me up mentally DST

they've all been 4s tho

and nilify should be an alt version of nullify
2:53 pm
moolingwa

right, although it could be to set things to values of zero, rather to remove their effect
2:54 pm
moolingwa

floods often silitfy the surrounding area

it basically leaves the ground with a silten appearance

I am hitting a wall right now sleep-wise
3:30 pm
moolingwa

well I am trying to be a little obtuse of course
3:30 pm

oh yeah, only the most el5 players can find the words
4:18 pm
moolingwa

had to look up the meaning :)
4:18 pm
moolingwa

not sure what gathering military intel has to do with finding words ;)
4:18 pm
hokie carla

of el5? I think we might be talking about different words
4:19 pm
moolingwa

I know what word you're using...just chose to look at another one that also works
4:19 pm
hokie carla

is this an obtuse clue for me?
4:20 pm
moolingwa

sure, if you wish to use it that way
4:20 pm
moolingwa

3-3-3-2-1
4:20 pm
hokie carla

which way, obtusely or as a clue?
4:20 pm

works both ways
4:22 pm

ooh, that sounds fun
4:28 pm
moolingwa

yeah, the local breweries around here do it...this will be the fourth brewery, and 5th place overall we've tried
4:29 pm
hokie carla

is it electronic or person asking and you handwriting answers?
4:29 pm

the latter

Not enthused that it's a wednesday, but fewer choices still
4:31 pm

I'm not really good at the music ones either. I know songs by hearing them but can't remember names/bands and don't really know a lot of random music facts.

There's four of us, and we do pretty well, though hard to compete with teams that have 10 or 12
4:33 pm

The first place we played, used to limit teams to 6
4:33 pm
hokie carla

yeah, but maybe they are 10 or 12 less full of trivial knowledge than you 4
