12:33 am

hurshy

but thanks

12:34 am

hurshy

this is the part where i think about how sad i will be in the morning when i wake up to no new grid because i already did it

12:34 am

hurshy

playing at the flip is a double-edged sword

12:34 am

MetFan

I just find other things to do

12:35 am

hurshy

but nothing else is as nice as babble

12:35 am

MetFan

I enjoy finishing the grid before I go to bed

12:35 am

MetFan

Gives me a sense of achievement

12:35 am

hurshy

i like it when if i'm up at the flip it's a big grid and i just tackle a few of the smaller tiles before bed and then there's plenty left for the next day

12:36 am

hurshy

i'm not often up at the flip anyway

8:28 am

3:41 pm

MollyL

Babblet is a dumb word for words you rarely see anywhere but this game. There is a list of them in my profile.

3:48 pm

cg530

THank you Molly. I googled "what is a babblet as it relates to the babble word game" and it gave me a great answer. Love love LOVE google!

3:50 pm

cg530

Next time I'll look at your profile :-)

4:55 pm

rururocks

5:02 pm

MollyL

5:17 pm

rururocks

oh OHia the hell do I know

6:00 pm

periwinkle

hi all can't figure out end of the tw9

6:09 pm

stidmama

(((peri))). no idea, just logging in! :-)

6:10 pm

cybernan

hello everyone. Hi (((stid)))

6:10 pm

stidmama

(((((nan!!!!)))))

6:11 pm

stidmama

It's WARM here today - probably close to 75. I suspect it was warmer a bit further inland.

6:11 pm

cybernan

haven't connected here in ages! Looking forward to the end of the school year?

6:12 pm

stidmama

In SO many ways... my grade's state tests are this coming week and the week after. I hate the tests.

6:13 pm

cybernan

77 here today, but if you had asked me while I was out getting some bedding plants in, I'd have told you it was 90

6:13 pm

stidmama

And then... GARDENS! :-D Our garden is getting a few upgrades thanks to Grant cutting down a bunch of trees.

6:13 pm

stidmama

OOOH! What plants did you get? I potted up some zinnias I sprouted indoors. I think they'll have flowers in another month or so.

6:15 pm

cybernan

I put in a border of Gallardia around the plannter in the front yard each year. Also have a couple of cannas and some petunias to put in.

6:15 pm

stidmama

oh, peri - it's the birthday when you are no longer a "kid"

6:16 pm

stidmama

I love Gallardia! So cheerful.

6:16 pm

cybernan

will wait a couple of weeks for the tomatoes and beans - still too cold at night for them to do much.

6:16 pm

stidmama

:-) I love petunias in hanging baskets, so do the hummingbirds!

6:16 pm

cybernan

Tulips are finished, Lily of the Valley is blooming and Iris in bud.

6:17 pm

stidmama

I imagine your area gets cold nights longer than we do, since we're down by the water. Tom has a few things started in the greenhouse, but it's a small greenhouse (and the zipper on the door ripped, so not fully enclosed).

6:18 pm

cybernan

I'm having 4 cedars taken out -- part of an orginial hedge that has become a fire hazard. Will replace them with a Japanese Silk lilac tree

6:19 pm

cybernan

Yes it's in the 40's at night.

6:19 pm

stidmama

We have "five million bazillion" bluebell-types in bloom right now, I think most of them are semi-native. The grape ones are long gone, as are my lovey pink (fragrant!) hyacinths

6:20 pm

cybernan

love hyacinths, but don't have any. Enjoying the neighbours lilac bush though

6:20 pm

stidmama

I hate that we have to worry about fires... That is one of the reasons we're taking out some of the trees, and limbing up others. Can't afford to hire professionals right now, and losing the canopy entirely would create another set of issues.

6:21 pm

stidmama

Oh, the lilac is blooming like anything, but I wasn't able to cut it back properly the last couple years, so it's about tw6 feet tall!

6:22 pm

cybernan

should get to the grid - 31 left from last night.

6:23 pm

stidmama

:-) Good to talk gardens with someone who loves them. <3 Have a splendid rest of the day!

6:23 pm

cybernan

you too :)

6:31 pm

cybernan

any clues for that kl 6 please?

6:37 pm

LuvWordGames

kl 6-Change the 1st letter on a CL5 and add another consonant in the 5th position

6:41 pm

cybernan

is the cl 5 in the grid?

6:42 pm

rururocks

checking time stamp

6:43 pm

rururocks

c + onion family vegetable

6:43 pm

MollyL

cl5 is one letter short of the abbreviation for one who steals

6:44 pm

cybernan

whew - finally came up with the correct combo - thank you all

6:44 pm

cybernan

will have to look up the meaning of that one

6:44 pm

rururocks

which clue was it nan?

6:46 pm

cybernan

you narrowed down luv's clue and the monkeys did the rest

6:47 pm

cybernan

19th c. Greek freedom fighter

6:48 pm

rururocks

wow... you lost me on that obscure post

6:50 pm

rururocks

I'm guessing Mollie's clue worked best

6:51 pm

cybernan

molly's clue eliminated a cl 5 word it was the onion clue combined with luv's clue that got me there

6:52 pm

rururocks

oh.. ok... I'm really confused now

6:54 pm

cybernan

stuck on my last word -- tw 9

6:56 pm

MollyL

Ordinal number

6:57 pm

cybernan

ty - done

6:58 pm

cybernan

are you and your harem still planning a trip to Kelowna this summer, Ru?

6:58 pm

MollyL

9:36 pm

mcurlschool

9:37 pm

stidmama

((hugs)) It was a very difficult week, to be sure. I am glad it is over.

9:37 pm

stidmama

I am hoping that testing will go relatively easily. We need the break!

72 Temple Owl

9:47 pm

stidmama

yeah, our kiddo in Jersey City doesn't mention weather, but I think he doesn't know what "normal" would be, even though he's been there three years.

9:54 pm
