GreyWoulf

I missed by 18, Blue, how 'bout you?
12:02 am
EasternBlue

hello all...
12:03 am
chic

me either, eastern; missed by 2 gi's. Onwards and upwards. Evening or morning all.
12:03 am
Babbler

how many have you got, zubie?? ; )
12:03 am
renfield

i want to buy a vowel....
12:04 am
GreyWoulf

I'm with you, renfield -- only 4!?!

Not the best grid for the weekend, IMHO

ohromujici

I am going to make the prediction that this puzzle won't have many words. It only has a few vowels and a bunch of typically unusable letters like w's and stuff. I am predicting that I will be monkey typing for most of the morning. : )
12:06 am

HI again everyone!

65 or 68 someone said 65 and someone said 68
12:10 am
GreyWoulf

12:10 am
raseboys

more excrement words...
12:10 am
EasternBlue

I was missing 66
12:11 am
Griffums

Wow, it's a dinky grid. And I came armed with chili cheese fries because I thought I'd need brain food.
12:11 am
EasternBlue

oh - wait - they're all here... : )
12:11 am
GreyWoulf

Great effort, Blue!! I was using a2z at the end just to see how far it would get me ;)
12:11 am
EasternBlue

Hiya Griffs - did your mom make it to her destination safe & sound?
12:12 am
GreyWoulf

LOL, Blue

Hi Griff!!
12:12 am
EasternBlue

too many chores during the part of the day when my brain actually works! This late hour is not my best time!
12:12 am
Griffums

She did, EB, thanks. Not without excitement. I said last night that I was in and out there in a half hour...but what I didn't know is that about a minute after I left they evacuated the terminal... But she still got out ahead of schedule and made it home in a neat 12 hrs.
12:13 am
jackets

NEVERMIND i see he has it posted already
12:13 am
EasternBlue

that's a looong trip...glad she's safe & sound! : )
12:14 am
Griffums

So far she hasn't called me crying to say she can't stand it and wants to come back. (I look forward to that tomorrow.) In the meantime it's beer and chili fries and babble. I enjoy being a girl.
12:15 am
raseboys

OK, I'm done. That was fun.
12:15 am
EasternBlue

Babble away friend...it provides a sense of order (or frustration : ) )
12:16 am
zubie

raseboys - finished already? :o
12:16 am
Griffums

Wow, done already?!?!? I'm still in my 'stare at the grid and determine whether I wish to make this commitment' phase.
12:16 am
mamabear

GW - where's the fish?
12:16 am
EasternBlue

raseboy = word savant....WOW!
12:17 am
Griffums

holy bear scat, mama, that's what you have under that pelt?
12:17 am
Babbler

* in awe *...... : )
12:17 am

Mama - you can still finish the grid...you are forgiven...(at least by me!)
12:58 am
Griffums

Mamabear, you mean this is the only place on the net where everything you read is real? WOWOW! :)))

I think all these people who are finished should occupy themselves with writing the Babblers Pledge...
12:58 am
GreyWoulf

LOL, Griff -- that's why I didn't feel safe vs. sprite until I finished
12:59 am

Congratulations to everybody. I'm not done (pfui!), but I suppose I will be soon enough. Kind of want to savor this cute little grid. I think for once I won't need brandyjack's second letter list.
1:00 am

.... in which the words OOPS should figure prominently

just sayin
1:00 am

1:11 am

mab, you are right, I do. And I will enjoy every minute of it. My dear husband takes care of our kids this week, he took the week off from work. So I have nothing to worry about, isn't that something!
Nope, I am NOT done... 41 words and stalking the rest ;)

With all the alt. spellings babble is so fond of, I would think someone could have been very rewd to me this week.

I think I'm the only one not done. serves me right for bearfibbing
1:15 am

or bearbaiting
1:15 am

MAMA, enough of that headbanging with dead fish and such. I am not done and we'll hunt together, come on! :)
1:15 am
mab

I'm not done MB. It's not a race, ya know.

Well done Griff!
1:16 am
Griffums

No, sprite's not done either. She's playing today with both hands tied behind her chair and tapping out letters with a swizzle stick. Okay she's probably done.
1:16 am
EasternBlue

mama - it's late for me...my brain isn't working too well - I still have 18 to go!
1:16 am
EasternBlue

oops...15...I didn't look at my stats....
1:16 am
mamabear

Not a race. I know - just frustrating when it seems so easy to so many.. how many do you need sprite? I still have 18
1:16 am
EasternBlue

(I obviously can't do math at this hour either....)
1:17 am
mamabear

EB - that's it!!! WE are twins separated at birth!
1:18 am
sprite

18 too! :) Getting closer now...
But for me it is never a race. I don't care how long it takes, I just want to find all the words.
1:19 am
Griffums

That'd be pretty catchy for a tombstone, sprite
1:19 am
EasternBlue

sprite - that's how I am too...it's a self-imposed need to find them all...not the time it takes to find them!
1:19 am
zubie

Trying to tear myself away.
I'm enjoying the talk though! Ok. This time I'm REALLY leaving!
1:19 am
mab

Griff!
1:19 am

ROFLMAO!!!
Griffs, you're the best. :)
1:19 am
EasternBlue

um, Griffs - are you trying to kill off sprite?
1:20 am
EasternBlue

night zubie!
1:20 am
EasternBlue

murder is frowned upon in Babbleverse (unless it's a word in the grid!)
1:20 am
Griffums

hey, I'm just sayin
1:21 am
EasternBlue

mab - since I'm not finding any words right now, can I change my icon for you? Do you have a picture preference?
1:22 am
mab

I think it would be perfect for a tombstone. I was thinking it would be a great babble motto, but tombstone is even better!
1:22 am
sprite

I am very pleased with the tombstone idea, actually :)
1:22 am
Griffums

Either that or "Oops! That wasn't the right word!"
1:23 am
sprite

"Oops! You entered here already!"
1:23 am
EasternBlue

or
Oops! Your word doesn't exist in the puzzle.
1:23 am
Griffums

"Oops! One of us is not like the other!"
1:24 am
mamabear

Or. Here lies ____ _____. May he/she re 4/4 in pe 5/7
1:24 am
EasternBlue

oooo...too clever!
1:24 am
sprite

You win, MAMA! Hahahahahaha!
Wonderful idea.
1:24 am
mab

Sometimes when I'm very tired, I think babble is saying 'oops, that isn't even a word, you idiot!' I see it out of the corner of my eye.
1:25 am
sprite

mab, I am sure it does say that. It keeps whispering it to me too.
1:25 am
Griffums

I see that too, mab! The more times I repeat a word, the more I think the errors are becoming emphatic...
1:25 am
mamabear

LOL mab!!!!!!
1:26 am
EasternBlue

I thought that just happened to me!
1:26 am
mab

Love it, MAMA!!!!
1:26 am
Griffums

It would be kind of fun if Dr God put a random error generator in there...
1:26 am
mamabear

It's like it is saying "What part of "NO that word is not in the grid" do you not understand????"
1:27 am
Griffums

"Ruh-roh! That was a scooby-stupid word!"
1:27 am
sprite

Oh, I would love that, Griffs!
"Oops, that is the 6th time you tried that, dummie! It is still not valid, don't you get it??"
1:27 am
mab

Or 'loser!'
1:28 am
sprite

"You are wasting my time."
1:28 am
Griffums

Knock it off and type a real word!
1:29 am

They were so clever tho'!
1:34 am

1:35 am

I think it was the thought of MAMA, naked under her choir gown...
1:35 am

I think that Grif is now wondering what's under those robes in the choir.
1:35 am

I mean, mama is fine, but what about that portly baritone in the back - maybe he's just got a butt floss thong and nothing else... aaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiieeeeee

1:55 am
Griffums

I've never taken vacations, ever. And last year before I made the drive back from Pennsylvania back home to Alaska, I spent a week in upstate Vermont - on Lake Champlain renting a lake house with three internet friends I'd never met in person before. It was spectacular to shut the laptop and leave it behind!
1:56 am

Hi Sherb! Apparently it's an incredibly easy grid. (I'm savoring, but everyone else is finished)

I know nothing about this specific offer, I'm just very ssupicious when I hear the word 'free.' I'm sure you know what you're doing. I shouldn't' be a buttinsky.

Yes, Griff, that must be quite a sight. And she's a soprano too.

8:07 am

thanks mtn Jack. I think I've done it. :)
8:08 am
Jen

mags, take your other 5/14 (the one that you put a hex on people), and change the last letter to make it past tense.
8:09 am
mtnjock

no Miy, I WISH, I am at work way tooooooo early to be rocking, though I will be when I get off. Cowboy Mouth is playing at the local pub (their home bar) and I am going to be there!
8:10 am
artlady

Nw suburbs, originally from NW Wisconsin, altho I've been down here in the "south" since .... a long time.
8:11 am

Thanks for the coffee offer...I'm trying to get this thing worked on before I head to UU church.
8:11 am

Miy, its 8am, uhhggggg
8:13 am
artlady

I've camped near both places! My mother lives up near Rice Lake, WI, now. Lakes, trees....tourists, boats, snowmobiles...
8:14 am
artlady

Miy, you are way too energetic for us this early in the a.m.!
8:14 am
artlady

...altho I have Bob Seger on last.fm right now...
8:15 am
mtnjock

very cool, I lived by lincoln park when I worked in Chi-town... I actually worked on Rush Street at the Fridays there (LOL) and for Sears
8:16 am
mtnjock

Artlady, Just Bob, or Him and the silver bullet band?
8:16 am
artlady

A busy area, mtn!
8:16 am
artlady

AGainst the wind, right now. I'm just streaming and writing and typing...
8:17 am
mtnjock

It was during the time of the 'show bar' cocktail time... It helped to put me through college
8:18 am
artlady

Mtn, do you flare?
8:19 am
mtnjock

yep! I won the midwest regionals 3 years running with my partner lars, (91-93)
8:20 am
Miyavi_fan

Only 8?! Only 8 in the morning! Everybody back to bed NOW!
8:20 am
mtnjock

Its how I meet and entertain people these days... being an engineer makes people think you are a nerd.
8:20 am
artlady

Wow! I've never seen it in person, just a documentary on TV. It's amazing, but you must go through a lot of bruised toes during practice...
8:20 am
artlady

of course, maybe you never dropped anything...
8:21 am
Jera

I'm back... had to deal with a potty emergency (& clean-up). What did I miss??
8:21 am
mtnjock

oh please artL, broke a toe this past mardi gras... I work for a lars who has a bar in New Orleans, and he loves to make me show off when I am there.
8:22 am
mtnjock

practice practice practice... otherwise, you hit the clientele
8:22 am
Jera

mtjock, you are an engineer?? I love engineers!
8:23 am
Jen

MF, it's after 9 where I am... is that less obscene?
8:23 am
artlady

lol, mtn!
Geez, 20 minutes and I'm up to the r's...what will I do today? I may have to (gasp) do housework??? Oh, well, football's on later...
8:24 am
mtnjock

thank you Jera, I love open minded people who embrace themselves (i.e. you). I hope your emergency wasn't bad.
8:24 am
Jera

We partied last night, so I have to do some serious cleaning on the living room... by party I mean my family ordered pizza, ate popcorn & watched all the Star Wars movies...
8:25 am
Miyavi_fan

Jen, that's okay at a pinch...I had to crawl out of bed at 9 this morning for church, felt like I was dying
8:25 am
Jera

My husband has alpha geek on his business cards... he's a computer engineer... I like weird, smart people... & I mean that as a compliment (some people don't think weird is a compliment).


What variety of engineer are you?
8:26 am
artlady

Oh, poor Miyavi...I'm heading there soon. Of course, I went to bed obscenely early last night, too.
8:26 am
Jen

Wait'll yo have kids Miy... it gets worse. When he was born, my son was up eating every 2 hours!
8:26 am
Jera

One of the great things about being Pagan is you don't have to get up at a certain time on Sundays (just as early as possible to Babble)!
8:27 am
mtnjock

Jera, some of the best parties are those that you share with loved ones. ScoutsMom and I throw 'celebrity' parties (its a game kinda like charades or catch phrase) and we end up playing late into the night
8:28 am
artlady

Ah, Jera, that's why I like the UUs. They like everyone, even me. I like the brain use--the minister is a very interesting speaker (not--note--preacher).
8:29 am
Jera

I didn't technically go to bed last night... fell asleep on the couch in the middle of The Empire Strikes Back... my 9 year old kept smacking me... MOM! Didja see that?? How coooool was that?? LOL
8:29 am
mtnjock

My best friend in college was Wiccan, so my eyes were opened early in adulthood. She made me take a class in ancient religions (engineers have to have social studies classes too) with her. It was great, because the teacher taught christianity as one as well.
8:30 am
Jera

I have some Wiccan friends, bt I'm not discipline enough for all that...
8:30 am
mtnjock

ArtL, I go to a Congragational Church (kinda like the UU)... was raised polish catholic, imagine that from South Bend and raised Catholic... LOL
8:30 am
artlady

I have a good friend who's a Wiccan...she also attends the same UU church. We both love to sing. She's in the choir, tho and I keep my singing quiet in the crowd... (note, loving to sing doesn't mean I'm GOOD at it!)
8:31 am
Miyavi_fan

...to parade my ignorance around for all to see, um...Wiccan? Sounds to me like a type of basket...
8:31 am
mtnjock

Artlady!!!!!! How dare you keep your voice quiet... a choir is a group of people who listen to each other and sing (doesn't mean any of them is good either). enmass they create magic.
8:31 am
Jera

The Pagans I associate with have a UU building as their home base. They're a fun bunch, but I have to travel a bit to hang out with them, since I moved. Still quivering in the broom closet here!
8:32 am
artlady

Rats, done. Have to come back later to type them in. I like to do them on paper first. BBL all, enjoy your days...
8:32 am
Miyavi_fan

See you later, Artlady :)
8:32 am
artlady

Ah, Jera. You have to find the right friends. However (unfortunately) there are far too many narrow-minded, judgemental people out there.
8:33 am
Jera

Wiccan is a earth religion, usually emphasising female aspect of the diety (ies). Witch is a broader term. Pagan even broader.
8:33 am
Jo

Morning all! :-) Sounds like some interesting conversation this morning.
8:33 am
Jera

Thanks, artlady... see ya later!
8:33 am
artlady

(snips furiously at cord gluing self to computer so she can dry her hair and get presentable...)
8:33 am
mtnjock

Wicca (which was in a babble puzzle last month) is the ancient religion worshiping mother earth and the creator. Harming no one (a credo) and creating only good energy for the world (a very simplized explantion I know, but google it, you would be surprised at how very spiritual it is).
8:34 am
Jera

*dons black and gold ceremonial robes, adjusts ivy head wreath and extolls virtues of harmony with Nature*
8:35 am
mtnjock

Jera, my friend just labeled herself 'spiritually in touch with herself'. Artlady (enjoy and bye) is right about the narrow minded stuff.
8:36 am
Miyavi_fan

Okay, thanks :) *blushes at ignorance*
8:36 am
Jera

Plus we have great bonfire parties in the woods (clothing optional when weather permits)! Not so much the Wiccans, they really like their robes & accessories...
8:36 am
Jen

Jera, does you family follow the same views?
8:36 am
mtnjock

BRB... gotta do some work things..
8:37 am
Jera

My husband is agnostic, but lets me do what I want. I'm trying to keep the kids well-rounded (aware & respectul of many paths) until they are old enough to decide for themselves.
8:38 am
Jera

No problem, miyavi... without ignorance there would be no need for teachers (& I love teaching)! It's determined ignorance I have a problem with...
8:38 am
artlady

you go, Jera! That's what I did with my kids. I'm now leaving. Really. Honestly.
8:38 am
lottijw

Jera if you saw me without robes you`d say i was well rounded too!!!!! LOL Hi all :)
8:38 am
Jo

Jera. I agree. Shouldn't we all have the ability to choose. I present my son with as much knowledge as I have, expose him to all I can. And, when he is old enough to make those decisions, he will be able to select what is special and meaningful to him.
8:38 am
Jera

*doesn't know whether to believe artlady or not... still considering *
8:39 am
movieman

Movieman here...just posting 2 check how my new icon looks...(as u can c, I am a BIG Prince fan...) ;oD
8:39 am
Miyavi_fan

Ah, Lotti :) Always guaranteed to make an entrance that makes me laugh!
8:39 am
Jo

movieman! The icon is alive and well! ;-)
8:39 am
Jera

lotti... that doesn't matter... it's funny how some of the freest clothing people are the ones many would not consider aesthetically pleasing. It's a freedom, not a display...
8:39 am
Miyavi_fan

And Hi, Movieman, are you rocking?

(must stop saying that)
8:39 am
Jen

I'm afraid we haven't been to church in quite a while... one of the hard things about moving is finding a new place! You'd think it would be easy to find a Methodist church with a nice traditional service, but nooooooo. Everything is a bit too contemporary for our tastes.
8:41 am
movieman

Miyavi, I'm rocking as long as the world is turning...!!! lol...
8:41 am
Jera

Jen, I was raised fundamentally, & you know that was one of the reasons I first started becoming dissatisfied with my religion. Too much "improvement." I'm very traditional. Which is conducive to ritual, I suppose...
8:41 am
lottijw

Looking good Movieman!!
Hiya Miyavi, looking into Wiccan are you? I must admit i know only what i`ve read or being told on the chat log about it. I don`t think it`s as common in UK.
8:41 am
Miyavi_fan

My church is kind of different. No organ, but a keyboard, electric guitars and a drum kit (miiiine! Well. Not really mine, but I play it often enough ^_^)
8:42 am
Miyavi_fan

Always good to hear, Movieman :D

8:42 am
Miyavi_fan

Lotti, I'd never heard of it before now...
8:42 am
Jera

I think there are more Druidic types in UK, maybe the Stonehenge proximity?? I have many Druid friends in England.
8:43 am
babsmgl

how many all totaled today kids ?
8:43 am
Jera

A mere 68 babs...
8:44 am
lottijw

Oh well, we live and learn Miyavi :)
Jera I still think my "freedom" is better covered up!!!
8:44 am
Jo

lotti, i would say that its more popular in the states. Mexico also has a good bit as well.
8:44 am
Jen

Methodist is pretty standard in beliefs as far as Protestants go (I like to think of them as the white bread of Protestants), but give me the organ and choir in robes, not the electric guitar and drums.
8:45 am
Miyavi_fan

Yeah, I think our church is more geared towards youth, though lots of the, er, no longer twenties enjoy it as well
8:45 am

8:46 am

I`ve been brought up Methodist, but I don`t go to church on a regular basis. If my children asked to go, i`d take them though. My daughter came to the church anniversary with me :)
8:48 am

Faerie, I think if you're a true believer, your faith is everywhere!
8:48 am

Got to go out to friends. See you all later :)

See you :)

And I'm done. Way too easy today!! :) Need to go fix breakfast for the family. Have a great rest of the day guys!

72 Temple Owl

hello everyone!
8:53 am
mtnjock

Miy, your church sounds very UU and Congragational.. It would be fun to know what type drum they have. But as far as wicca goes (or pagenism) everyone should be able to choose the path towards the greater good that is best suited for them. Including athiesm (sp)
8:53 am
Jo

Hello, 72 Temple Owl!
8:54 am

Hey Temple :)

LOL... he will have to get back in my good graces before he goes pro... He partied too hard last night. The neighbors dog came over this morning (4am) and let him out of the back yard (he's a border collie that uses his nose to open the gate). Beau and Josie terrorized the neighbor hood until Josie's mom called and asked why beau was in her back yard with josie... I won't tell you what they were doing...
9:18 am

I am sorry, all dogs get the male inflections, Josie is felmale.
9:19 am

Oh my goodness! LOL! I always knew Beau was a lady's man....but not a playboy! :)

In fact, make that a WOW!!
And possibly throw in some kind of 'Gott in Himmel!'...I usually say that these days :)

mtnjock

I was about to offer to make him one. Art is meant to be appreciated by the world. Especially when its made for the sake of art and not commercial fodder.

raolen

hurshy have you started yet?
9:37 am
mtnjock

well, if she must be exposed to pure evil early in her life, at least she will be singing 'I love you, you love me...'
9:37 am
Jo

Wait, I spoke too soon. This is what he has right now, but he has much more work that is not posted right now. The woman, BTW, is his wife. :-)

Thanks Jo! Excuse me for a bit, off to check out the two art sites :)
9:40 am
mtnjock

very cool evan... I can play cello ... but as my conducter said in college... "You play with precision and accuracy, but you can't make the instrument sing." Its when I decided to start playing only for me ... :/ I realized that he was pushing me towards focusing on the things I could make sing (computers and machines)
9:40 am
Miyavi_fan

Is it just me, or is Barney the dinosaur really sinister? It's like that McDonalds clown, reminds me of Pennywise!

Thanks doxy but tried every el combo and none exist. Something is wrong. Please help if you can.

nice mtn, you have to do the things that you can't keep yourself from avoiding. when i have to make something, it is an obsession that frightens my husband.
9:42 am
Jo

Marc, try googling:
"Of, relating to, involving, or designed for use in grades 1 to 12"
9:43 am

how words are there today?
9:43 am

68, I think

I know, when I am working on stained glass, my roommate has to come down (my workshop is in my basement) and tell me to go to bed (usually 3am). My grinder is under his room... LOL
9:44 am
raolen

good, thanks
9:44 am
Jo

mtnjock ... stained glass!! I love that! Do YOU have a website ;-)

9:44 am
mtnjock

HI marc, el + a greeting
9:45 am
Miyavi_fan

Thanks Mtn (clue stealing) had been looking for that one for ages :)
9:45 am
toymaker

yeehaw!!! been playing this for about a month now and finally finished one! I've bee completing about 75-80%. Must be the soothing effect of the snow falling outside :) .
9:45 am
Jo

Way to Go, toymaker!!!
9:46 am
mtnjock

no, sadly I don't. I love to do frank lloyd wright geometrical types. I should though... My biggest accomplishment is that there is a bar here that has his glass in it, and they let me repair a broken panel.

miyavi - one of my favorite barney moments was on sat nite live tv - when barney came up against basketball player charles barkley...LOL *evil grin*
9:46 am
Miyavi_fan

Again, wow and Gott in Himmel! The only art I can do passably is fanart, really
9:46 am
evanonut

mtn, poor man. my friend does stained glass, very precise art. i respect that. mine usually involves paper clips (blissfully quiet), or a welder, (not so quiet)
9:46 am
Jo

mtnjock, wow! That's very cool ...
9:47 am
Miyavi_fan

Temple, he gave me nightmares when I was younger! (two weeks ago)
9:48 am
Jo

Miyavi, we all have our own creative talents. Some people discover them in a way that can be shown to the world ... :-)
9:48 am
Miyavi_fan

I guess, Jo :) Though I never seem to show mine to anybody, mainly because they're all done in my school notebook (oops)
9:49 am
72 Temple Owl

miyavi - barney or chrales barkley? : D
9:49 am
mtnjock

LOL Miy, seriously, I took it up 3 years ago after being a huge fan of the art form. Art (good or bad) should come from the heart.
9:49 am
DarleenMB

mtnjock... you do stained glass?
9:49 am
Miyavi_fan

Temple, both are equally disturbing...it was Barney in the nightmare though XD He was trying to eat me, I think, and he had a chainsaw
9:49 am
sherb

hello all :) ...back again, with 25 still to find...
9:50 am
Miyavi_fan

Hey Sherb :D Are you rocking?!
9:51 am
mtnjock

Yes I do, I lose myself in designs... I actually took blue prints from work, because the design of the system looked like it needed to be placed in glass... silly huh.
9:51 am
Jo

Well guys, my tummy is yellling at me for food! Happy babbling...
9:51 am
evanonut

not silly mtn...genius
9:52 am
DarleenMB

not so silly. I did stained glass for well over 15 years before I took up the torch. Need any supplies?
9:52 am
72 Temple Owl

bye, jo...
9:52 am
Miyavi_fan

Genius indeedy :)
9:52 am
sherb

hey Miyavi :) rocking? ...well, I wouldn't go quite that far, but I'm chilled this afternoon...took Friday off, so I've enjoyed a long weekend.

And how are you today?
9:53 am
mtnjock

Wow, I love your beads, btw, been to your site before... I would love to take any thing you wish to unload. Have you tried blowing glass? A neighbor does it, and it is amazing.
9:53 am
72 Temple Owl

miyavi - if only you'd seen the one on one game between the two - then afterward the two with arms around each other singing " i love you, you love me..."
i believe barney had only one eye by that time LOL
9:54 am
Miyavi_fan

Sounds good, Sherb :) I'm fine thanks :)
9:55 am
DarleenMB

Sorry... my keyboard went wonky for a mo'.

Thanks! I'd love to see your work. Do you have a website?

Actually I have taken a class on how to blow glass using soft glass and a tiny pyrex blowpipe. It's waaaay cool!
9:55 am
mtnjock

she made christmas ornaments and I traded a door pane with her (I live in the artsy part of Memphis, and bartering art is the prefered method of payment, LOL)
9:56 am
DarleenMB

Ah yes. Bartering! LOVE it! When I did craft/art shows I traded quite a bit. got some wonderful stuff that way.
9:56 am
Miyavi_fan

Temple, you're gonna give me nightmares
9:57 am
DarleenMB

mtnjock .. email me (you'll find a link on my site). Let's see if I have anything you could use.
9:57 am
lola100

Jo, thanks for the sites. Your brother's work is great, very vivid and alive. Please let us know when you have the new site up and running, I want to see more! And as for diego rivera...wow! I am totally smitten by 'the architect', it's exactly how I feel when I'm drawing! :)
9:58 am
mtnjock

I always say I should make a site, but my work is mostly for friends and I usually don't sell it... So I just kinda feel weird about bragging (not the right word) about it.
9:59 am
lola100

But coosin, we are all friends here! And we would love to see your work :)
10:00 am
evanonut

mtn... i know what you mean. i always end up feeling strange taking money too (not that i don't of course), just that i usually prefer to makes gifts of it.
10:00 am
Miyavi_fan

I never realized everyone was so artistic
10:00 am
DarleenMB

mtnjock you need to get over that! LOL. The first show I ever did (and my "work" was c4/6!) I almost turned around and went home. I got over it and went on to do lots of shows including a HUGE one in Denver and another in Longmont. Be proud of what you do! Show it off! It takes time, money, and lots of practice. I'll bet your work is great!
10:01 am
evanonut

art comes in all forms miyavi
10:01 am
DarleenMB

evan, I'm just the opposite. I love taking money for my work because it means I can keep doing it. OTH I hesitate to give it to friends/family because I figure "oh they wouldn't want THAT."
10:01 am
Miyavi_fan

So even my random scribblings would be considered art? I doubt it!
10:02 am
Marc Freeman

Jo you are a genius it worked. But I think I tried the combo before but it did not work. Does this happen?

For the stained glass fans, i used to own a company that made hand painted stained glass suncatchers. Made in America until everyone moved to China. There is a big real stained glass studio here in my little town in Iowa, Bovard Studios. They are amazing.

Best to all,

MF
10:03 am
72 Temple Owl

sorry, miyavi... : )
10:03 am
lola100

Miyavi, any form of expression is art. Sometimes it's just for yourself, sometimes it's for the whole world :)
10:03 am
evanonut

darleen - i'm getting there. mainly i work when commissioned now.

miyavi - 1) probably, have you ever shown them to anyone 2) i have a feeling you express yourself in many ways.
10:03 am
DarleenMB

miyavi ... art is all about communication. I don't consider my work art so much as it is craft.
10:03 am
hurshy

68 today, right guys?
10:03 am
Miyavi_fan

It's okay, Temple :) More trauma makes no impact now...not with some of the people at my school around
10:04 am
Miyavi_fan

Right Hurshy :)
And hi, by the way
10:04 am
mtnjock

Miy, art is a release of emotion, find something that you enjoy and express yourself through it. You are extremely intelligent... hmmmmm... you love music, find a combination of songs that create a mood of feeling from different artists. A good mix of music can change a person's feelings is just as good of an art as any.
10:04 am
raolen

hurshy you better hurry up or I'm gonna win today
10:04 am
hurshy

mtnjock

hey hurshey (show off)
10:05 am
Miyavi_fan

Intelligent?! Moi?! You're talking to the person who walked into the same locked door five times in one day :) It's strange you'd say about the music, though, since recently I've been letting a few Dir en Grey songs influence me and it's been working quite well
10:06 am
hurshy

hi lola, hi temple! have you met raolen? he's one of my students, so be nice to him! :)
10:06 am
raolen

10:07 am

I just read about your drawings, make you a deal, you post one as your icon, and I will post one of mine as mine... lets say Monday (I have to find a pic tonight)
10:08 am
raolen

10:10 am

:O
10:11 am
sherb

well, I've amused myself by greying out all the boxes on the stats panel except the D in the middle...this puzzle really is simple...
10:12 am
hurshy

yeah, there should be some kind of a difficulty rating posted for each puzzle - this would be a record low.
10:12 am
Tbug

hi everyone!
how do you grey out letters??
10:13 am
hurshy

i think you have to be a Pro, tbug
10:13 am
Jo

Tbug, when you're pro there is a grid that as you finish a tile, it greys out to let u know its dun . :-)
10:13 am
evanonut

sherb, must be easy if i finished it.
10:13 am
Oona

Good morning all! I'm so impressed with the speed of you babblers! I'm stuck at 60 words and need help please. I have 3 of 5 d words, de 4/9 (plural of morning...water), dr 5/12 (clothed) and dr 4/9 sketched. Can you help with the other two? Thanks!
10:14 am
Tbug

ah thx hurshy... gonna have to break down and go pro one of these days
*shivers at thought of writing a bio and choosing pics*
10:14 am

tbug, i'd be pro now if i could justify the expense.
10:15 am
lola100

oona, dw5/20, lived in :)
10:15 am
sherb

Tbug - go Pro, it's good to be able to read people's bios, and know where they're from, their interests etc :)
10:15 am
hurshy

de 4 sandwich shop
10:15 am
Tbug

i didnt know about the greying out thing... way overkill for this puzzle but would be great on most, gonna go pro now! woohoo!!
10:16 am
Tbug

i can read them without pro, but feel kinda guilty w/o one of my own up :)
10:17 am
sherb

ah, I didn't realise you could read the bios...can you see the icons too?
10:17 am
hurshy

yeah, we can
10:18 am
Oona

Thx Lola and Hurshy! six more to go...arghhhhh! :-)
10:18 am

hurshy - you should go Pro too, you're a regular :)
10:19 am
Miyavi_fan

I'd go pro if I wasn't, er, already
10:20 am
hurshy

yeah, but why pay the money? well, you guys are going to talk me into it sooner or later i guess. smeltz tried to persuade me the other day. even put up 5 virtual bucks.
10:20 am
Miyavi_fan

Thing is, I'm an icon tart
10:21 am
DarleenMB

hursy, it's cheap (one time only $9.94); Dr. God works his backside off keeping this going; you get the grid with wordcount, you can have an icon; it's the right thing to do?
10:21 am
DarleenMB

oops $9.95-- finger slipped
10:22 am
DarleenMB

all that bandwidth is not cheap, btw.
10:22 am
sherb

hurshy - where else can you get so much enjoyment for 10 dollars? think of it as an investment which will allow Babble to continue long into the future...
10:23 am
petit vaurien

so this one's easy, yikes, I'm stuck at 49 words, how many letters in today's longest word?
10:23 am

hmm, guess i wasn't thinking. you guys are very persuasive.
10:23 am

Hey Anj :) Still ROCKING?!
10:26 am

Earlier I had a Diego Rivear icon (which Lola liked, great site huh, Lola?) Now, my icon is my brother's work. :-)
10:27 am

Hi Miy :) Yup, Queen Adreena at the moment...

Jo, I LOVE his work
10:28 am
Miyavi_fan

Good good...though please, someone stop me from saying that now...I'm even annoying myself
10:28 am
Jo

I'm a big fan of Rivera, so expressive. :-)
*Though, I must admit ... I like your icon, VERY expressive as well*
10:28 am
lola100

Okay babe, and you?

Jo, did you see my post then? Very impressed with both :)
10:29 am
hurshy

voila.
10:29 am
DarleenMB

LOL. Yeah. I'm such a, a, hmmm. Well. Let's just say I adore the male form and leave it at that.
10:29 am
Jo

I did, Lola. Maybe I'll manage to turn you into a Rivera fan? So much can be gained from Babble. LOL
10:29 am
mtnjock

back! Sorry about that, got lost in Darleen's blog (btw... big hug to you)
10:29 am

You got lost in my goofy meanderings? Hmmm.

10:31 am
Miyavi_fan

Yay! Nice Hurshy :)
10:31 am
Jo

Vin Disel .... *drooling*
10:31 am
mtnjock

hurshy's gone pro!!!!! But will she do chocolate icons? LOL I remember from the other day.
10:31 am
hurshy

(bows) (to the inevitable, that is)
10:31 am
lola100

Jo, no need to convince me, his stuff is great :)
10:32 am
hurshy

my name isn't because of hershey chocolate. however, maybe one day i will do a chocolate icon to make you happy.
10:32 am
DarleenMB

Yeah, Vin is hot. Not very bright, but hot.

HURSHY! YAY! Where's the bio, girl?
10:32 am
mtnjock

goofy my buttocks... I wish I was brave enough to blog... though I have to admit, my browser was having issues with the pics overlaying the text.
10:32 am
sherb

cheers lola! *sherb swigs champagne, and hands around homemade canapes to everyone...*
10:32 am
hurshy

i have to THINK about what to put in my bio.
10:32 am
Jo

Giggle .. we don't care about what he has to say, dear.
10:33 am
mtnjock

I have to admit, even working out is an artform... LOL, one I am not good at...
10:33 am
DarleenMB

Yeah, mtn I heard that from another pc user. Blame the software from radio whatever they are. I'll just not post so many pics next time.

Shy? I figure no one's reading it so I just let fly.
10:33 am
hurshy

my goodness, champagne and everything. nobody made this fuss when i graduated (high school OR college).
10:34 am
mtnjock

Lola, I think hurshy just dared us to throw a party on the boat for her!
10:34 am
hurshy

there's a boat?
10:34 am
lola100

Coosin, what a great idea! Everyone on the love boat then! :)
10:35 am
DarleenMB

do I need a boarding pass?
10:35 am
Miyavi_fan

Gah, gotta go. Luck everyone :)
10:35 am
sherb

you've just been initiated into the hardcore Babbler's Club...
10:35 am
mtnjock

and you were very right about Bandwith, website hosting is not cheap!!! I was very proud to go pro, especially now after all the Hasbro bs.
10:35 am
Jo

Jo follows the party line to the boat, dragging Vin Diesel behind her....
10:35 am
lola100

darleen, just bring your icon ;)
10:36 am

'bye miyavi :)
10:36 am
DarleenMB

Ok, I knew he'd come in handy ;-P
10:36 am
mtnjock

no DarleenMB, you're a pro, they never need a boarding pass, just a drink...
10:36 am
mtnjock

ROFLMAO at Jo...
10:37 am
DarleenMB

kewl. I'm ready, life preserver and Vin in tow.
10:37 am
sherb

with those shoulders, you won't need a life preserver!
10:37 am
lola100

coosin, will you man the bar? Sherb, can you keep the nibbley bits coming? I haven't seen dachef yet today. Everyone jump in the on board jacuzzi and I'll rustle up some cabin boys :)
10:37 am
mtnjock

and we will be serving a mighty helping of Vin Diesel on the Ledo Deck after departing the docks...
10:38 am
DarleenMB

yeah, but he's all muscle ... he won't float. That's takes body fat. Of course, I have plenty so ... tosses life preserver and clings to Vin
10:38 am

10:40 am
DarleenMB

But then I have no excuse to cling to Vin!

G'morning everyone -- this is the last day of chocolate making -- don't think I want to see another chocolate for a very long time! Only here for about 20 minutes.

10:48 am
Tbug

10:48 am
sherb

raolen - you'll soon find yourself hoping for a grid with 300 words in it...and they only appear on days when you have other things to do...
10:49 am
DarleenMB

tbug, it's all done automagically
10:49 am
Anj

TBug, they should grey out automatically :)
10:49 am
sherb

150 words is my speed, but increasing steadily as many words start appearing often, have sure added some strange words to my vocabulary since starting this game!

11:05 am
Babbler

I do like the challenge of being in the dark with a fresh puzzle. If you go pro, how much info is infront of you?
11:06 am
Anj

As much as you want. You can display the stats or the words but not both at the same time :)
11:06 am
sherb

Babbler - come on, just do it! you can choose to see a stats panel showing how many words start with each letter, or you can leave it hidden

pv - your icon and profile aren't showing...did you click 'Show Profile'?
11:06 am
hurshy

babbler, you don't have to go pro to get info anyway. i was using the babbler's anon list all along.

lola100

sassie- another word for lived in :)
11:23 am
Anj

Babbler, no I don't - are they both any good? I've liked their singles but i've always regarded Albarn as 'The Enemy' figurehead since NME championed him as anti-rock. Then again NME champion EVERYTHING that doesn't rock so maybe I should lighten up a bit lol :)
11:26 am
Babbler

Anj, it's very creative and clever!!! Someone burnt it for me, but I think I'm just going to go and buy it. There's a track, very Beach Boys, 'Don't Get Lost In Heaven', that's uses the guitar from Jeff Beck's 'Beck's Bolero'. Sooo fab! I love Damon Albarn's voice. He's a good bloke too. (NOT the enemy!). NME went down the pan in the early 90s, imho....
11:27 am

Babbler, they don't listen to 'you', they listen to a radio profile based on your own listening tastes is all. No-one can access your PC directly, it doesn't work that way.
Check out my homepage if you want to see the site in action. The link is on that thread :)

11:57 am

no worries, petit! There are still hours and hours to go, you never know, there might be a poor soul out there who hasn't had a chance to sit down with today's puzzle yet! :D
11:58 am
petit vaurien

sure, guess I was too excited at having made it, if this is the easiest it's got for you guys, I can't imagine what the hard ones are like! wouldn't have made it without the babblers anonymous stuff tho, must say

Hi all - well a 'titchy' puzzle today then! Is it too much to ask for a bigger one with a nice even distribution of vowels & s's that are accessible?
Ok rant over - have been to church twice today & my halo is already slipping!
12:07 pm
evanonut

yes, the fish. i'm not fond of the fish myself.
12:08 pm

6:40 pm
Marc Freeman

Become a pro and you will get all that info. It is worth it not expensive and again helps the site. If you need any other hints just ask.
6:40 pm
prodrafter

Someone who swears
6:41 pm
Sherry

nuke: someone using bad words
6:41 pm
Sherry

You're right Marc! I was sort of contemplating that..
6:41 pm
nukem95

that word came up as cu 6/27. I need cu 6/24
6:42 pm
Sherry

the one who gets the bad word in the face is cu6/24
the one speaking the word is the one you're looking for
6:43 pm
tegrenath

it's been over an hour. i feel like the biggest idiot ever.
6:43 pm
Marc Freeman

Try the thing you move the mouse with on your computer. Does that explain it? By the way cu/27 is pass tense cu/24 is present tense
6:44 pm
nukem95

Got it, Banging head against brick wall....lol. Sherry you could go to babblers annonymous and look under general for todays stats.
6:45 pm

7:05 pm
Charm

Jacula, watching Wizard of Oz - and just finished Dr. Seuss' Grinch, too! Went to the beach today and watched my companions freeze their little piggies off in the cold water. Everyone had a great time. Now we're exhausted and just waiting to fall asleep.

7:37 pm
prodrafter

My son finished also and he only started yesterday so I figured I better finish this one too!

yyyiiipppeeee yyyeeeaahhh i won the prize i finished for the first time ever. i feel so accomplished and smart, even though it took me forever. i deserve a hershey bar
7:42 pm

Jacula chucks a Hershey bar to NotYou. (Yes, we can get them in the UK now, though I've never sampled one.)
7:42 pm
Jacula

Well done, Evanadine!
7:43 pm
not you

ok, i studied in london in college and fell in love with yorkie bars.... still crave them. but can't figure out the whole "not for girls" slogan... help me on that one, can you?
7:44 pm
Jacula

el4/5 - a tried and tested Babblegrid word. Refers to US schools but sounds more like a tribe from Star Trek or Stargate, or even the Middle Earth.
7:45 pm
prodrafter

Jac,
I am a process drafter working in a manufacturing plant. I also consider myself a professional, so the pro could be either professional or process...you pick.
Thanks for asking
7:46 pm
Jacula

NotYou - The original marketing for Yorkie bars was that they were for big, hairy truckers. Some years later, the 'not for girls' campaign was launched and then a pink-wrapped Yorkie bar 'Not For Girls - Who Sez So?' was launched alongside the original blue-wrapped ones.

My SO, who happens to be a 'big, hairy trucker' still jokes that any Yorkie bars in the house 'must' be HIS!
7:47 pm
Jacula

Thanks for explaining your 'nick' Prodrafter. Saves my imagination running wild. LOL.
7:48 pm
not you

now i can rest in peace!!!! I love it. Whenever my parishioners travel your way, I beg for yorkies... my husband ate one from the freezer from my stash and i threatened divorce, he thought i was kidding!
7:49 pm
Jacula

LOL, NotYou! Incidentally, what made you choose your 'nick'?
7:50 pm
not you

don't know, never thought i would actually get addicted to the game and was playing around with names... might change it now that i am a regular and oh so very serious...
7:51 pm
Jacula

Why, NotYou? The name's intriguing. I'd keep it, if I were you.
7:51 pm
tegrenath

thank god, i finished. ALMOST TWO HOURS. ugh.
7:52 pm
Jacula

Tegrenath. Congrats! If a little late. Your 'nick' interests me, too... it means??
7:52 pm
not you

who knows... i did just add the pic of my little girl... i have to say this is the coolest game to play,i've started a whole new vocabulary and have my 6 year old son playing with me... good night all! gotta sleep so i can do my early christmas shopping tomorrow...
7:53 pm
Jacula

Sleep well, NotYou. I'm about a dozen Christmas presents ahead of you. LOL.
7:55 pm
tegrenath

aw, thanks. actually though, my name doesn't mean anything. it's 100% made up and i've been using it for years.
7:57 pm
Jacula

Thought it might be an anagram of 'The Great N' or something. LOL.

Hi guys -- 2 days and 25 pounds of chocolates later, the 5 grannies chocolatiers are done! Now back to babbble -- got 58 words in the 20 minutes I had this am, so hope to finish soon!

Make use of me for clues whilst I'm here then, Cybernan!
8:12 pm
cybernan

Thanks Jacula ...

dw 5/20? el 4/5
8:13 pm
cybernan

Got the dw!
8:14 pm
Jacula

I gave a clue for el4/5 not long ago Cybernan. Didn't it help?
8:14 pm
harpjane

dw 5/20 if you used to live somewhere, you could say you dw*** there. Rhymes with w 4/8.
8:14 pm
cybernan

and the elhi -- we've seen that one before, I believe.
8:14 pm
Jacula

(Scroll back to 7:44pm.)
8:15 pm
Jacula

EEK! Cybernan just posted a word!
8:21 pm
cybernan

My apologies everyone -- not thinking too clearly!!!! It's been a looooong day. Have a bite of chocolate on me.

Finished -- now I can go and relax until 10 pm.
8:21 pm
onyx

i left my last l word to find this evening and it just jumped out at me i'm done, and i want more puzzle!
8:21 pm
Jacula

LOL, we've all done it at one time or another, Cybernan. Enjoy your evening.
8:22 pm
Jacula

Onyx - Want more puzzle! That's exactly what me and my 'Other Half' said this morning here in UK.
8:23 pm
Jacula

Incidentally, Onyx, what was your last word? No, don't tell me the word just the first 2 letters and the score.
8:24 pm
onyx

le 4/5
8:24 pm
Jacula

I usually find my last word is something really obscure or spelled in a way I wouldn't have thought of, or it's so simple I should have SEEN it.
8:25 pm
Jacula

Onyx - Ah! Like the cat being sneaky but rather the opposite.
8:26 pm
onyx

it was one of those so simple i can't believe i didn't see it before words
8:26 pm
Jacula

Though it doesn't really mean that.
8:27 pm
Jacula

Onyx - my last word was tu4/5!
8:28 pm
Jacula

It's not as snakelike in its twisting itelf around the grid as 'journalists' etc., was yesterday, but still not immediately obvious.
8:29 pm
cybernan

le 4/5: jumped (as in ballet?)
8:29 pm
onyx

that's what intrigues me about the game, if you shift your focus you see things that weren't there a moment before,
8:30 pm
saphyre

hi everyone - need a clue for the pe 5/12
8:31 pm
onyx

danger
8:31 pm
Jacula

pe5/12 - Old hymn - 'For Those In Pe*** On The Sea'.
8:31 pm
saphyre

thanks onyx - finished the grid!
8:32 pm
cybernan

pe 5/12: "The Pe.... of Pauline" -- make it singular
8:33 pm
Jacula

Onyx - Yes, indeed, re the patently obvious words and not. That's why I talk about how many words on my first 'sweep' of the grid when I arrive, and then I 'sweep' at least 5 times more before resorting to message log clues and then BJ's list, and then a2z if I must.
8:33 pm
onyx

hey saphyre, where in Md. are you?
i went to U of M, my friend annette( are you out there?) showed me the game.
8:35 pm
onyx

Jac,
and what's obvious to me is different from what's obvious to others, so it is fun to babble with others
8:36 pm
Oona

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!!! I have ONE c/ word to go and my brain is MUSH! PLEASE HELP so I can have a life! :-) I have: ce 4/5, ch 5/14, ch 6/24, cr 5/14, cr 5/12, cr 4/9, cr 5/20, cu 4/7, cu 5/16, cu 4/6, cu 5/14, cu4/6, cu 4/6, cu 5/14, cu 6/27, cu 5/14, cu 4/6 and cu 4/6.........what am I missing???

8:36 pm
sassielass

I'm having trouble with one of the we4/8's--i've got the direction and the person, but I can't get the 3rd one. And, I could use a clue for the cu5/14 that is not bad word, shirley temple or soy.
8:38 pm
Charm

cu6/24 - one who performs the cu5/14 (or the moving pointing thingy on your screen - misspelt).
8:39 pm
Charm

The last cu5/14 - past tense of the bad word - an archaic form. "a cu5/14 rum touch."
8:41 pm
Charm

we4/8 - "A ridge or bump on the skin caused by a lash or blow or sometimes by an allergic reaction."
8:43 pm
sassielass

talk about tired--I didn't type the we because I was sure I had it already...yikes! OK--I am on my last one and I am going to try for a few more minutes to get it before I beg for a clue. thx charm!
8:43 pm

Hi! I'm here. Was just off eastoftheweb, playing other word games.
9:09 pm
GreyWoulf

I'm here if you need me, shorty...
9:09 pm
Jacula

Torgone - what do you need?
9:09 pm
torgone

Heye Jacula! Ravishing as always ...
9:10 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi, Jacula! how have you been?
9:10 pm
itzie

Jacula - what other good word games are out there?
9:11 pm
GreyWoulf

itzie - I agree, the board went by way too quickly today, however, that meant I was able to get some other things done today without worrying about cutting into my Babble time
(I am such an addict!!!)
9:11 pm
shorty

i need pe5/12,te4/5,te4/4 & te4/8 please
9:11 pm
Jacula

Woulf & Torgone - actually watched the Elvira - Mistress of The Dark movie for 1st time on Friday night. Used to see her in a C4 show years ago and loved the character, kinda Rock Horror, but more personal to me.
9:12 pm
Smeltzdog

is that who I think it is?
9:12 pm
Jacula

Itzie - lots, like 'Wordo', but noe so good as Babble! Babble's the best.
9:12 pm
GreyWoulf

shorty - pe5/12 -- to be in grave pe***
9:13 pm
itzie

te 4/4 rhymes with re 4/4
9:13 pm
GreyWoulf

Smeltzdog! How's the jacuzzi? Is it open yet?
9:13 pm
harpjane

te 4/8 rhymes with pe 4/9
9:14 pm
Jacula

Shorty - sorrry, will look at your clues momentarily. Every time your name comes up, forgive me, I think I have said it before, Rod Stewart & The Faces' track 'Cut Across Shorty' blasts into my brain. Great track, BTW!
9:14 pm
GreyWoulf

te4/5 - plural of a man's nickname
9:15 pm
GreyWoulf

Hi, harpjane!
9:15 pm
Charm

hello, again, all. been fading in & out this evening....
9:16 pm
harpjane

itzie- try Quiddler. Google "Quiddler Daily Puzzle" to find it. There's a word game and a couple of logic games. They change daily. Much shorter than Babble, though.
9:16 pm
itzie

I heart logic problems.
9:16 pm
harpjane

I also enjoy the Geography Olympics. www/geographyzone.com
9:17 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - I have to admit I have only seen bits of the Elvira movie -- But I do love the character -- I love any actor who is willing to play a campy character properly -- i.e. over the top and without taking themselves too seriously
9:17 pm
shorty

ty veeeeeeeeery much got all but dont understand pe 5/12
9:18 pm
hurshy

hey, smeltz is here! lookie who went "pro", smeltzie!
hi GW, jacula, harpjane, everyone!
9:18 pm
GreyWoulf

fading in and out, Charm? everything OK or just easily distracted due to the simplicity of todays grid?
9:19 pm
Jacula

Greywoulf - you should see my pics on another site then. I can't be 'camp' as such, 'cos I'm female, but one pic of me in a cavalier wig did make someone who knows me plead for me to remove it from my site 'cos it makes you look like a tranny!' LOL.
9:19 pm
GreyWoulf

shorty -- pe5 is another word for danger

Hurshy -- Congrats on going pro!!! Though I think the ears a bit much :D
9:19 pm
Charm

GW - definitely the latter! Watching bad tv, playing solitaire & lurking behind the chat log. How good can life get????
9:19 pm
ohromujici

Hey everybody. How is everyone tonight?
9:20 pm
hurshy

hey, i can't help my ears.
9:20 pm
GreyWoulf

Charm - you could be watching GOOD TV!
9:20 pm
Jacula

Hello Hurshy/Spock. Are you feeling logical right now? LOL.
9:20 pm
GreyWoulf

Welcome, ohrom -- how are you tonight? I'm OK...
9:20 pm
hurshy

i generally do feel logical. however, as leonard nimoy also had to say..."i am not spock". it's merely an homage.
9:21 pm
Jacula

Hurshy - forget what I just typed. You teach maths, therefore you must be logical at all times.
9:21 pm
Charm

GW - no such creature, at least at this time on a Sun p.m. If I want good tv, I watch Casablanca or Lion in Winter or Scarlet Pimpernel on dvd.
9:21 pm
hurshy

has anybody seen joelgee lately?
9:22 pm
GreyWoulf

Hurshy -- yeah, but then he turned around and wrote another bio years later stating "I AM Spock"
9:22 pm
hurshy

ok, so i am spock.
9:22 pm
ohromujici

I am good, GW. I just got back from a date. I like your new icon. You look as ferocious as ever. : )
9:23 pm
hurshy

actually, i did dress up as spock one halloween when i was a kid. i had bought some spock ears at a convention i went to, so...
9:23 pm
Jacula

That is not logical, Hurshy, there can only be one true Spock.:-)
9:23 pm
hurshy

we all have a little spock in us. :)
9:24 pm
Charm

here-here, hurshy!
9:24 pm
hurshy

hey charm! a fellow fan, i take it?
9:25 pm
Charm

live long & prosper.
9:25 pm

that is what i used to make my mom put on my birthday cakes instead of happy birthday!
9:25 pm
itzie

Thanks harpjane! I just increased my state's standing by .007%!!! Whee!
9:25 pm
GreyWoulf

Ohrom - is this your first time on the grid then?
9:27 pm
GreyWoulf

Hurshy - As a fan of ST as well, I have to ask - Are you a Trekkie or a Trekker?
9:27 pm
Charm

hurshy - I was never that much of a fan (and my mother would not have done it). But my younger sister & I used to play the characters (when we were around 8 and 5). I hate to think what a geek I was, even then!
9:28 pm
hurshy

GW, well, i'm not so offended by the trekkie label as some.
9:28 pm
Jacula

'We all have a little Spock in us' - that statement would sure makes his ears wiggle. LOL. 'Live long and prosper' - nothing nicer can be said, it's the logical thing to say.
9:28 pm
GreyWoulf

Never regret your geekhood, Charm -- It just proves that you were ahead of your time :)
9:28 pm
shorty

ohh got it ty ty but now i have to figure which one i need i still need one more i thought i had them all aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggg gggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

MissJen

hi everyone!
9:29 pm
GreyWoulf

HI MissJen!
9:29 pm
ohromujici

GW: I finished the puzzle at about 1:00 PM today. I got up at noon and did the grid with a cup of coffee and a knish. It was a good time. I can't think of a better way to start a day. How about you: did you finish it?
9:29 pm
hurshy

jacula - i guess it's like when kirk told him, "spock, you want to know something? everybody's human" (my senior year quote for the yearbook, btw), and spock said, "i find that remark....insulting."
9:29 pm
Jacula

Nothing wrong with being either a Trekkie or a Trekker. Different forms of worship, but both perfectly acceptable.
9:30 pm
Jacula

Jac is now wondering if she's somehow insulted Hurshey...
9:30 pm
hurshy

i guess i never really figured out what differentiates a trekkie from a trekker - i mean, it seems like more "serious" fans don't like the former label, but i am pretty serious and don't mind it. i do not, however, like any behind the scenes stuff. i like to maintain the illusion that it is all real! :)
9:31 pm
GreyWoulf

ohrom - Yeah, I did my usual watch the grid flip this AM and ended up finishing in about the same time frame as you -- I was probably one the 1st 5 to finish out of the folks active on the chat log :)
9:31 pm
hurshy

of course not jac!
9:31 pm
Charm

You mean to suggest tribbles don't exist?
9:31 pm
Smeltzdog

I'm back...having problems seeing my blog in firefox. It only loads in Explorer. Has anyone else had problems with Firefox?
9:32 pm
Jacula

Of course it's real! A probe's just gone out to my own plant, Venus. Hopefully, the Venusians, won't either shoot it down befor it lands or throw a sheet over it once it does, like the little green men on Mars did.

trouble with tribbles is my dad's favorite.

you know, when i was in school i would sit in the yearbook office and read star trek books during my free periods. and when i would go out in the hall afterwards, i would look around and think, "why aren't these people in uniform?!?! what's happened to the ship?"
9:33 pm
Jacula

The trouble with Tribbles is that they bounce all over the place.
9:33 pm
GreyWoulf

The way it was explained to me, waaay back in my college days ---
Trekker - sees Leonard Nimoy at a convention and will approach him, if convenient, and talk to him in praise of his work

Trekkie - sees Leonard Nimoy across a crowded public area (I.e. hotel lobby) and starts shouting "SPOCK!!!" at the top of his lungs

;D

did you hear about the journalist who brought her mom (a big fan) along when she interviewed william shatner? he kissed the mom at the end of the meal and left. the daughter said, "so, what do you think? did you feel like you had lunch with shatner or kirk?" and the mom said, "i had lunch with william shatner. but i was kissed by captain kirk!"

yeah, GW, i just ignore the parts i don't care for. :) like sybok. even gene roddenberry admitted he didn't care for that whole storyline.
9:52 pm

i hope everyone is following all these amusing chat lines.
9:54 pm
GreyWoulf

My favorite example, hurshy, was in Next Gen, the writer's bible apparently had a whole list of restriction re:story content - including NO time travel --- By the time we are what? 2 seasons into DS9, there has been so much time travel that they have to introduce a Time Patrol division of Star Fleet!
9:54 pm
torgone

Did they travel in a Tardis?
9:54 pm

does anyone have a list of the c's just need one more to finish puzzle c5

please, they messed with time plenty in TNG too. well, not AS much. but plenty. and did you love the whole temporal cold war thing in enterprise or what?!
9:55 pm
GreyWoulf

So I would have to say that as long as you write a good story, you wouldn't have anyhting to worry about
9:55 pm
hurshy

yes, but could i write a good story? that is the question.
9:56 pm

I think there are 68 words.
9:58 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - How did you like the newset season of DR. Who?
9:59 pm
torgone

Sort of, GW. I liked the Tom Baker years as quirky, fun TV. But I don't go far beyond that.
9:59 pm
hurshy

yeah...but i'm a wimp. either that or i'd rather keep my pen quiet and have folks think i'm a bad trek writer than get it out and prove them right.
9:59 pm
Jacula

That 'we' sounds something like a plant or a growth. Doesn't use either of those vowels though.
9:59 pm
hurshy

ok, jacula, i have to know. were you joking before or did you really think charm didn't know what ads were?
10:00 pm
GreyWoulf

hurshy - I am in the same boat as you - I ahve had a couple of books in me for years, but I just can't convince myself to get them on paper
10:00 pm
bearofthep

Got it. Thanks.
10:00 pm
hurshy

i don't think i even have them in me yet. i'm only 28, and i would love to be a writer (not just trek). but i don't really feel i have anything to say yet.
10:01 pm
Charm

hurshy, charm doesn't mind being thought an idiot. She'd just rather not open her mouth and remove all doubt (I know, I know).
10:01 pm
hurshy

remove all doubt! that's how it goes. i always get it wrong.
10:02 pm
Jacula

I had no idea if she knew what ads., to be honest.

What did I think of the new Doctor Who series? Not that bad, to be honest, funny! My one true 'real' Dr. Who, being a child viewer of the 60s, is/was William Hartnell.
10:02 pm
Charm

hurshy, I think ALL of us have a great story inside us. The true writer throws caution to the wind and puts pen to paper (or hands to keyboard).
Getting published, though, is another hell.
10:03 pm
GreyWoulf

torgone - I used to love watching DR. Who on my local PBS station and Tom Baker was my favorite... until now

They started up with a new doctor last year, the actor Christopher Eccleston, who only signed on for one season, but the storyline was phenomenal! And his companion, Rose, is perhaps one of the best written sidekicks ever!
10:03 pm
hurshy

i don't know. i don't think books are just born inside you like eggs. i think they have to grow.
10:04 pm
Charm

With respect, hurshy, I will disagree on the point.
10:05 pm
GreyWoulf

Charm -- re: removing doubt; I think all of us have taken outr tuen at being the village idiot, it comes from being misunderstood by the mundanes :)
10:05 pm
hurshy

but, there are all kinds of writers. i might be the growing kind, and you might be the caution-to-the-wind kind. trollope would write exactly a certain number of pages each day. even if he finished an immense novel, and had five pages to go, he'd write five pages of his next.
10:06 pm
Jacula

Charm - you're not wrong there. I say that as a published writer. Mind you, if your muse dies for a few years, despite your enthusiastic publishing editor and then your editor gives you an awful shock, despite getting fit, and dies on you when he's only 59, well, you're back out in the shark pool again...
10:06 pm

GW, I think if any 'mundanes' read the chat tonight .... LOL.

I have ONE word left, racking my brain for the last cu 5/14. Any hints, good people?
10:07 pm
GreyWoulf

hurshy - what I have learned about writing, from talkling to many different authors, is that no matter what the topic or genre, the real key is to write, write, write...

Writing is a skill/talent which needs to be polished like any other, and there is only one way to do that --- writing!
10:07 pm
hurshy

jbs anno old fashioned form of plural
10:07 pm

HI JB!

Speaking of the at of writing wrong - see my posting on that subject on my Have A Laugh thread on BabAnon.
10:08 pm

yes, i've certainly heard that too GW. i think that is true for sure. i do write some. but i sort of doubt i will ever be a published writer. i don't have the thick skin.

Hurshy, a good friend was having trouble getting her books published by the mainstream publishers (because she didn't fit any of their molds), so she started her own small press. No real money, but great satisfaction, and recognition by her peers.

Blestings upon you, GreyWoulfie! I'm DONE!
10:11 pm
Jacula

Charm - no idea! Nothing written under my own name since I was about 11. First got publishd when I was 7. If you read 'Jackie' magazine in the 70s you might have read some stuff of mine, you might have read my stuff in international mags and UK mags in the 80s. I don't know. Sometimes, you can just'know' someone from their writing style...
10:12 pm
JBsAnno

*looks around*
Who's here?
10:12 pm
GreyWoulf

hursh - my problem is that I am my own worst editor. I can't seem to follow th e other key teaching of writing -- Get it down on paper 1ST - then go back and edit it to make it better -- I always edit as I go, and then get frustrated with my lack of progress
10:12 pm
Charm

You're too young, hurshy, to say 'never.' You might find the resources within yourself when the time comes.
10:13 pm
GreyWoulf

Blessed Be, JB ;D
10:13 pm
hurshy

GW - know the feeling.
charm - maybe. but it doesn't bother me, either way. i guess that's the thing, really - i have no ambitions, goals, or anything like that for life whatsoever. i am perfectly happy to just float along quietly on the river of life.
10:14 pm
Charm

hurshy, you must know my sister! she has found her place in the scheme of the universe and is happy there. Ignore us malcontents.
10:14 pm
torgone

This is one of the few times I can bask in the irony of a situation. My job description has been changed to Technical Writer. I'm a terrible writer. I always wanted to be a writer, but was never good at it. At all. Now I get paid to write, and there's (fortunately) not much actual writing to it.
10:14 pm
Jacula

Wolfie - NEVER edit as you write. It's a killer! Get it all down first and then go back and murder your babies. Helps if you read it to tape and listen back,too. Leave your budding creation 2 months in a drawer, if you can bear to, and then go back to it for fault-finding.
10:14 pm
JBsAnno

Whoosh, you guys are awfully serious! Is it time for a cannonball (where's Smeltzdog?), or should I just tiptoe away?
10:15 pm

no, lighten us up, JB! we've been serious long enough!

Jacula - back to DR Who for a mo -- what was your opinion of Rose? My friends and I think she is probably one of the best companions to ever be by the Doctor's side, except for her penchant to be on the wrong side of locked doors ;D
10:17 pm
Jacula

Bad puns? If Babble was your Ma-in-Law you'd still have 20 years to do inside. If you want groanworthy jokes, read Bab Anon.

Jacula

Wolfie - no new series yet, to my knowledge.

Rose is a modern girl - this time she's been allowed to be. She can be fashionable and sexy, as all other have been allowed to. Diff. is., this heroine can also have a dilemma about her attraction to her boyfriend (her age) and the Doctor, (far too old for her than she even realises yet). She is also allowed to question things without being told to shut up, unless it's obvious she hasn't a clue and is getting in the way. She can be strong and defensive also. I, for one, am glad to seee the back of the spinless, screaming, wimpy, cowards of females that were once made to populate every kind of film

I'll make an exception for Jane Fonda in Barbarella though. LOL.
10:28 pm
GreyWoulf

Jac - Hear!Hear! That is exactly what we think over here as well. Also, the actress does such a wonderful job of emoting... You FEEL her pain when she is forced to choose between the BF and the Dr. Although, why such a strong individual has such strong feelings for such a wuss is something I just can't wrap my mind around...
10:29 pm
lshult

And now cu6/24 (I meant cu6/27 before)
10:31 pm
GreyWoulf

I also am enjoying the whole family left behind story that they are exploring -- Rose's Mum is a pip, and when she asks the doctor if Rose will be safe, again you can feel her agony over wanting to protect her daughter while knowing that she has no control over the situation

Wolfie - the 'wus' has metamophosed again. Wait for the next series. In the meantime, just think 'The Doctor'. I'm just trying to think of the name of the one that completely broke the spell for me when I went, with a friend, to ssee him in a play about getting a vasectomy (or not!) at the theatre. 1 and a half hours of seeing his bared, shaven genitlia....:-(

Ishult - if you scroll back, Mamabear posted the word on the log. Sorry, getting distracted now! Finally listening to a CD my Mum got me last Xmas. It's done by a neighbour of hers, known locally as 'Romeo' due to his not very wel done getting ladies out of cars and into house and then not quite closed curtains upstairs thing.
He has no appeal that any of us can see, any ladies of any age! His voice may be the thing that does it though. But I know what games he plays around his wife and his family, so...../
