Interesting problem with Babble: Yesterday, I did the 191 words, Babble didn't show the word until I logged out and logged in again and reentered the word, but no FW's. Today, after logging in, it showed all rankings as 0. Logged out/in again, then finally showed numbers, but only added 5 points to Who's Hot. Any fixes? Start Babble all over under a different name? Just perplexed today.
8:23 am
MollyL

Something is wrong on your end. Email Dr. God (the owner) dr.god@playbabble.com
8:24 am
hokie carla

I saw you had a problem yesterday too. not having anything weird like that here. certainly not a computer expert, but it sounds like maybe some kind of cookie issue on your end? did you change any of your browser settings? what OS and browser do you use?

8:57 am
MollyL

I can only imagine the conversation. "So Doc, how far up my ass are you now?"
8:58 am
penquis

it was interesting to watch....like a scene from that old sci fi movie....

Excrementally is getting to be a Princess Bride like word in this conversation
9:05 am
Aloyisius

I like it
9:05 am
rururocks

ugh you have to bring up that crappy movie?
9:06 am
hokie carla

you keep using that word.
9:06 am
MollyL

Don't worry. I have "The Hours" on a loop for you so you can drown yourself in the depressive and maudilin.
9:07 am
rururocks

oh I loved that movie
9:07 am
MollyL

Carla, I don't think it means what they think it means.
9:07 am
rururocks

Julianne Moore was incredible in that movie
9:08 am
MollyL

I am not a Juilanne Moore fan. I wish they had cast someone else in that part.
9:08 am
rururocks

*passes out*
9:08 am
hokie carla

I like her okay. but always think of her on as the world turns.
9:08 am
MollyL

It was one of Ed Harris's best, but so damn depressing that it's hard to watch.
9:09 am
hokie carla

I have never seen that, but try to steer clear of sad and depressing.
9:09 am
rururocks

he was great too.. and Streep was incredible... and Kidman had her best acting in that movie
9:09 am
hokie carla

I do not like these A's today
9:10 am

phantom garlic
9:16 am
HarryHood

got it!
9:16 am
hokie carla

was thinking the same, mael. but hurshy has a lot of "normal" words that are not normal to the rest of us so I guess it goes both ways.
9:16 am
hokie carla

ik4, harry
9:16 am

Agree!
10:38 am
MollyL

*Shocked look* You get A+s for a colonoscopy? I don't even want to know what that means. Best bowel?
10:41 am
ChampFit

I just did the Cologuard thing...easy peasy! Results came in yesterday, and there was no mention of an A for my negative result. Feeling ROBBED I tell you!
10:44 am
hurshy

well if they write your blood type on it, then, it could have an A+
10:44 am
ChampFit

That's my type, so yep! I'll take it.
10:45 am

Give that girl a cookie and a gold star

what's with all the crappy boards lately?
11:24 am
hokie carla

well, I'm at a standstill here with 46 left so have been doing other things
11:24 am
moolingwa

62 left here
11:25 am
hokie carla

well, according to some people, "the game makers are making it too hard for anyone to play", even though it's random and nothing has changed since the enable list was implemented here.
11:25 am
moolingwa

heh
11:27 am
moolingwa

a lot of 4s in this one
11:28 am
hokie carla

12-23-11
11:29 am
MollyL

To be fair, the grids have seemed a lot harder lately than they usually are.
11:29 am
hokie carla

I completely agree. like I said this morning, they're either harder or I'm stupider.
11:29 am
MollyL

When Ru says a grid is hard, that makes me wonder.
11:30 am
hokie carla

but I also don't think dr. god has a nefarious plan to make us all quit playing.
11:30 am
hokie carla

but maybe he does so he doesn't have to run this game anymore.
11:30 am
MollyL

Of course there will always be people who do the "hi all" thing. And then, "done" twenty minutes later. Believe that if you want to.
11:31 am
hokie carla

phantom calmly
11:32 am
MollyL

I think we have just had a run of nasty grids. I don't waste my time on them when they are mostly stupid archaic words. What is the fun in that?
11:32 am
hokie carla

agree
11:33 am
hokie carla

I will look (or maybe chat) while I eat lunch and then get busy. maybe come back tonight.
11:33 am

I did find a nice downton abbey word earlier
11:34 am
moolingwa

believe i have that one
11:35 am
hokie carla

probably
11:36 am
hokie carla

it's a weird grid when I've found most of the k's but have barely half on some others
11:36 am
moolingwa

I have half of everything except the T1 down the bottom
11:37 am
hokie carla

and no, the downton abbey word is not a K. just rambling here as usual.
11:38 am
hokie carla

I have that T but don't remember what it was
11:38 am
hokie carla

oh, it's an easy 4
11:38 am
moolingwa

terrific
11:38 am
hokie carla

maybe you should look again
11:38 am
moolingwa

ah yes, thought I'd typed that already
11:38 am

good morning -- expecting kids here soon, so will be disappearing...

4 C's needed
11:43 am
moolingwa

most of any tile I have is the A below the C
11:43 am
moolingwa

I need 6 of those
11:43 am
hokie carla

I also need 6 of that A and 6 G

I just got some local peaches through our CSA share and they are delicious
11:57 am
hokie carla

yum, I've been eating a ton of peaches lately, just finished my last one yesterday and need to go back
11:57 am
hokie carla

millions of peaches
11:57 am
moolingwa

3OFOET
11:58 am
moolingwa

have 7 tiles with 3 or fewer though
11:58 am
mael

peaches are definitely my favorite fruit
11:58 am
hokie carla

so good fresh
11:59 am
hokie carla

but I love a good watermelon and a good pineapple, so it's hard for me to choose
11:59 am
moolingwa

grew up on an orchard, hard for me to get into store peaches
11:59 am
marksdolly

hello to you all!!
11:59 am
marksdolly

Hi Hokie!!
11:59 am
hokie carla

yeah, I never buy store peaches, they just aren't that good
12:00 pm
hokie carla

hello dolly!
12:00 pm
moolingwa

pretty partial to mango and passionfruit myself...one of the few things I miss about Miami, our Mango tree
12:00 pm
moolingwa

hey dolly, happy Woden's Day
12:00 pm
hokie carla

my son loves mango. I do not like mango or mango flavored stuff. not sure I've had passionfruit.
12:01 pm
cybernan

problem with soft fruits in stores is that they can't be picked "tree ripened" for shipping.
12:01 pm
hokie carla

there are a few really big peach orchards about 45 min from my new house
12:02 pm
moolingwa

yeah, we have peaches growing around here too, though the commercial ones are a bit futher away...though you can get them from the farm in a month or so, special order or at the Lafayette peach festival
12:02 pm
hokie carla

yep, that's why the pawpaw never took off, ripened too fast for stores
12:03 pm
moolingwa

miami did have a lot of tropical fruit available on account of all the local orchards
12:04 pm
moolingwa

so you'd get lychees, rambutans, sapote, guava etc there...and the mangos were tree ripe
12:04 pm
moolingwa

I did manage to get queen bee yesterday too hoke, though I did check what the total point value was
12:05 pm
hokie carla

my SIL had an orange tree at her first house in Jax Beach, and she would send me fresh oranges that were the best ever.
12:05 pm
hokie carla

I got to genius today without the pangram but have since found it. need 8 words today.
12:05 pm
moolingwa

yeah, oranges better a bit further north than miami
12:06 pm
moolingwa

up to 30 words today, pangram was my first word
12:06 pm
moolingwa

31
12:06 pm
hokie carla

just couldn't make it happen today until I really thought about it
12:06 pm
moolingwa

12:07 pm

what is this queen bee you talk about? another game?

hokie carla

but remove the \n that got stuck in there
12:08 pm
moolingwa

33 words
12:08 pm
moolingwa

oh yeah...not sure why it has a newline character in there
12:09 pm
hokie carla

didn't know that's what it's called since I've only seen it here.
12:09 pm
moolingwa

34
12:09 pm
marksdolly

looks interesting, will check it out
12:09 pm
moolingwa

well, it's an old way of marking a newline, not really used for decades
12:10 pm
MollyL

Dolly, there is a free version if you search for free nyt spelling bee
12:10 pm
moolingwa

today's board isn't as interesting because of the layout
12:10 pm
marksdolly

thank you Molly
12:11 pm
hokie carla

well, I would say that tracks for here, but I think it just started doing it in the last few years (the \n)
12:11 pm
MollyL

I didn't think today's pangram was that hard to find
12:11 pm
cybernan

65 on first pass and stuck already
12:11 pm
hokie carla

dolly, the most important thing to remember is that you can reuse letters on the same word
12:12 pm
hokie carla

yeah, nan, that's probably pretty good first pass
12:12 pm
MollyL

It's like the spam thing. Dr. God knows about the /n thing, he is just not going to spend time fixing it.
12:12 pm
hokie carla

well, molly, you are a word nerd
12:12 pm
hokie carla

also the password problem I pointed out to him.
12:13 pm
MollyL

Not really. I look at Spelling Bee once in a while and almost never see the pangrams.
12:13 pm
MollyL

What password problem?
12:13 pm
cybernan

is there a 7-8 combo and if so what do they begin with?
12:13 pm
hokie carla

no, nan
12:14 pm
hokie carla

the password for this website has a max limit but he doesn't tell you that. so if you go over the max it truncates it and then your password is something you don't think it is.
12:15 pm
MollyL

Most people don't create passwords long enough for that to be a problem.
12:15 pm
hokie carla

when I figured it out I emailed him and said I think that was what was going on and he confirmed it and said he was surprised it hadn't come up before then.
12:16 pm
hokie carla

it's a shorter password limit than you'd think

Most web sites tell you your password has to be at least 8 characters. So people get used to setting them that long.
12:18 pm
hokie carla

yeah and most tell you if there's a max, and a lot have an option to show it instead of the asterisks. IIRC, this one shows a set number of asterisks unrelated to your password too.
12:19 pm
MollyL

They should all give you the option to show them so people can make sure there are no errors.
12:20 pm
hokie carla

sometimes I want to murder (not really) the people who make the streaming apps for smart tv when you type it all in and you can't show it or just having to type it all in, actually. they should all have the option to do it from a computer.

Hi all. Is it my imagination or is this a super hard grid? The first row is really difficult, anyway.
1:59 pm
Bugsaw

This is a super hard grid and not much fun at all
1:59 pm
ChampFit

I totally agree! Back for my last 37, and definitey using morewords at this point.
1:59 pm
joym999

glad to know it's not just me!
2:00 pm

100% NOT. ;)
2:07 pm
joym999

and when I do find a word, I don't know what it means.
2:09 pm
joym999

I finally found a 7, but I can't even get near half on most of the tiles
2:10 pm
Sophie512

I agree. Don't think I'll be here long today. :)
2:10 pm
Bugsaw

very odd to have a grid without any E
2:11 pm
joym999

and that annoying IG without an N!
2:13 pm
MollyL

No E and no O
2:13 pm
joym999

and WAY too many As.
2:14 pm
MollyL

This is the kind of grid that Dr. God should push the SHUFFLE AGAIN button
2:16 pm
joym999

The woman who delivers my letters is the MAILLADY, no?
2:20 pm
joym999

found the other 7, so at least I fell like I accomplished something
2:21 pm
MollyL

Tsk tsk, we are not allowed to identify gender anymore. She is the mailperson.

I have 28 yet but have to leave for a meeting soon...may just quit this sucker. GAHHH!
3:20 pm
Bugsaw

starts with ta 4 -- like a 4 letter word for ripped only with a differnt vowel. ta6 builds from that. The 8 is the ta 4 with a word for country on the same side in a war
3:21 pm
Bugsaw

hope that works. I am off to do something useful so the whole day is not a total waste. Happy Babbling!

4:42 pm
moolingwa

ah, cool
4:42 pm
moolingwa

my parents are very distant, and my wife's mother lives in Florida...so not much grandparent time for my daughter unfortunately
4:43 pm
cybernan

yes - that is a shame
4:43 pm
moolingwa

yeah, I grew up with grandparents on both sides in the same town
4:44 pm
cybernan

I struggle to keep up with them -- my other grandchildren are all in their 20's and 30's --- had a lot more energy myself when they were younger.
4:45 pm
moolingwa

5:16 pm

moolingwa

yay, greyed top row
5:19 pm
Soodle

Itโ€™s 11.18pm here. Iโ€™m not in the business of looking at points. Iโ€™m just foraging for easy words. ๐Ÿ˜„

5:20 pm
Soodle

Agreed. An unpleasant grid.
