7:29 am
ChampFit

Yep. Got thru the first 2 columns before I left. Still on first pass.
7:32 am
ChampFit

phantom: arrest
7:33 am
hokie carla

only 20 words in here, I've been getting distracted on other websites.
7:33 am
hokie carla

7:34 am
ChampFit

7:34 am
Dorens

you think you canoe everything
7:34 am
ChampFit

:)
7:35 am
ChampFit

7:37 am
ChampFit

You manifested him!
7:37 am
rururocks

yup
7:37 am
hokie carla

I was just going to say did I manifest ruru
7:37 am
hokie carla

I didn't even say his name 3 times into the mirror
7:38 am
ChampFit

Your powers are great.
7:38 am
rururocks

as long as you don't say it in your sleep I guess
7:39 am
ChampFit

That wouldn't go over well with mr homie.
7:40 am
ChampFit

phantom: toast
7:40 am
rururocks

champ has good phantoms
7:40 am
hokie carla

historically I have been a sleeptalker but he hasn't mentioned any in years
7:40 am
rururocks

:D
7:40 am
hokie carla

I had phantom oast
7:40 am
ChampFit

was just thinking that!
7:41 am
rururocks

My ex used to talk every night we'd have conversations
7:41 am
ChampFit

ha! my hubby just snores occassionally
7:41 am
hokie carla

my cousin used to tell me things I said when we had sleepovers
7:41 am
hokie carla

that's good, my hubby snores every night
7:42 am
hokie carla

it doesn't bother me if I'm asleep
7:42 am
ChampFit

well, now he snores in his recliner in the tv room across the hall. Says he breathes better.
7:43 am
hokie carla

almost called a phantom that is here
7:43 am

7:47 am
MollyL

The first re6 ends in what I do is at a wedding
7:47 am
hokie carla

oh, to state something again
7:48 am
hokie carla

thanks
7:48 am
ChampFit

weird.
7:48 am
MollyL

Okay, I guess that needed clarification
7:48 am
hokie carla

well, your english in the sentence confused me, so I clarified
7:49 am
hokie carla

now I see you meant what "I do" is and it makes more sense
7:49 am
ivesyj

ty
7:49 am
ChampFit

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....I was totally confused
7:50 am
ivesyj

as long as we are here a clue for the re 8 plz
7:50 am
MollyL

Mental note: Always use proper pronunciation in this chat that uses u for you
7:51 am
ChampFit

ivesy - makeover a home
7:51 am
hokie carla

I beg your pardon, I never use u for you or ur for your or you're
7:51 am
MollyL

Or proper punctuation
7:51 am
ivesyj

tks champ!
7:52 am
hokie carla

normally I don't have a big problem with punctuation here, but like I said, it was hard to read and obvisouly champ agreed with me.
7:53 am
MollyL

Thanks, I have been appropriately scolded
7:53 am
rururocks

I thought it made sense
7:53 am
ChampFit

it was unclear to me. carla's worked though...thx!
7:53 am
hokie carla

not trying to scold you, just explaining why I added an extra clue
7:53 am
MollyL

TYR
7:54 am
rururocks

it might be because some people have altared states
7:54 am
MollyL

Or their brain works differently
7:54 am
ChampFit

THAT. Speaking for myself, of course.
7:55 am
hokie carla

still too early for me to come up with puns, ruru
7:55 am
hokie carla

yes, if I've learned anything from years of playing this game it's that people's brains work differently
7:56 am
ivesyj

or not at all
7:56 am
MollyL

And some brains are altared before they get here 😊
7:56 am
hokie carla

lol sometimes I resemble that
7:56 am
ChampFit

After 5 of course.
7:57 am
MollyL

Not for the wake and bake crowd

ch1212

I just did it on my PC. Using Windows 11. Copy the url from this page. Go to your desktop. Right click anywhere that's blank. From the new menu choose "New" then "Shortcut". Another pop up will ask you to paste the URL. Then the icon appears on your desktop as 'new internet shortcut.' You can right click again, and choose RENAME to rename it to Babble. Hope that helps.

Top of the page, playbabble.com

4:22 pm
BzznBea

One of your re8 is a 7/9/8
4:23 pm
ChampFit

The other one is re8 9 9
4:23 pm

8s are ae, an, re x2, se, wa

Because Larry and Mom like it.
4:25 pm
Shirlockc

so i moved to austin from NY and the relocation team sent movers, and packed all my stuff, except for my closet full of clothes. OTOH, my fault for not doing the final walk thru check, OTOH, I 100% told the guy I want the closet packed
4:25 pm
hokie carla

oh no, so where are your clothes?
4:25 pm
hurshy

o dear
4:25 pm
BzznBea

That's amazing shirl...can't believe it!
4:25 pm
ChampFit

Welcome to Texas!
4:25 pm
Shirlockc

in NY, in the closet, my neighbor snapped a pic
4:26 pm
Shirlockc

i mean sure, I'm at fault for not doing the final check but it's not like they ever asked me and I did tell the team lead
4:26 pm
Shirlockc

who leaves a closet full of clothes? obviously I did
4:26 pm
hokie carla

so, can your neighbor or someone pack them and send them?
4:26 pm
hurshy

what a pain
4:26 pm
hokie carla

I need a resolution!
4:27 pm
hokie carla

does the ae8 start with an air prefix?
4:27 pm
ChampFit

Going to be interesting, but I don't see how it doesn't come back to the movers. Ask the question again before you leave a closet full of clothes.
4:27 pm
ChampFit

yes.
4:28 pm
hokie carla

well, that's not as helpful as you might think
4:28 pm
ChampFit

Ends like the thing that adjusts the temp in your house.
4:28 pm
Shirlockc

i'm back/forth emailing with the move coordinator, i hope they send another team -- it's not like the clothes are not replaceable, but it's my favs, my cocktail dress for fancy, the one bathing suit that i like + lots of wearables for work
4:28 pm
hokie carla

ok, that w8 was my last w
4:29 pm
hurshy

i really want to get that last H
4:29 pm
ChampFit

same
4:29 pm
hokie carla

my cousin's movers lost a whole bunch of her stuff in their warehouse, incl her wedding pics
4:29 pm
hokie carla

thanks, for the ae clue, champ. got it.
4:29 pm
ChampFit

knew you would!
4:30 pm
Shirlockc

yeah, they didn't do that, everything that made it here made it here and so far so good, no damage, but i really would like my clothes
4:30 pm
ChampFit

Is it a corporate move?
4:30 pm
hokie carla

completely understandable! I would too.
4:30 pm
Shirlockc

yep corporate moce
4:30 pm
hokie carla

how about the se8?
4:31 pm
MollyL

Movers are not responsible for checking things like that. My question is who doesn't pack their clothes when they are moving?
4:31 pm
hurshy

think singing outside a window but change the penultimate letter
4:31 pm
ChampFit

Then they'll handle it. Your relo people will fix it.
4:31 pm
Shirlockc

people like me who had packed all her fragile stuff and then was told the movers will pack everything else
4:31 pm
hokie carla

well, it's a personal preference I think. I have always packed all my stuff myself.
4:32 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

lordy lordy, gotta call it a day. 126 to go, one 8, no 9s, argh, later y'all
4:32 pm
hurshy

i use my clothes to pack my fragile stuff
4:32 pm
hokie carla

but others let movers pack stuff. I think if they are packing stuff, there is an expectation that they will pack everything.
4:32 pm
hurshy

lol
4:32 pm
ChampFit

The company wants the transferee to be happy. It'll be ok.
4:32 pm
MollyL

Oh, it would never occur to me not to pack my own clothes.
4:32 pm
hokie carla

all my moves before this last one were local so I just moved hangup clothes in my car
4:33 pm
hurshy

corporate moves are a whole different ballgame i think
4:33 pm
ChampFit

Yep. They'll handle it.
4:33 pm
hokie carla

thanks, got the se8
4:33 pm
hurshy

one of my college friends married a guy who works for big pharma and ... it's perk city
4:34 pm

4:34 pm
hokie carla

3-3-6-3
4:34 pm
Shirlockc

plus they brought all the boxes and packing material so I thought they'd bring wardrobe boxes
4:34 pm
MollyL

Using clothes to pack fragile things is a great idea.
4:34 pm
hurshy

ahhh thanks champ
4:34 pm
ChampFit

yw!
4:35 pm
hokie carla

ChampFit

Not on board with that.
4:36 pm
hokie carla

there's a subreddit called tragedeigh where people post weird spellings of names
4:36 pm
hurshy

i wouldn't like to have a name that really just looks like it has a typo
4:36 pm
ChampFit

That makes my stomach hurt! Make it stop!
