I can't help but wonder - how does a word like mo5/14 linger in one's subconscious (when you have no idea what it is and it's not part of your religious history at all!) until you see it - definitely a symptom of babble brain, I fear... ;p

2:32 am

Kamanjah

This game has given us words that are useless in everyday life, lol!

2:34 am

lynxxx

maybe not if you are jewish - and a boy child

2:34 am

rbud

Lots of words I'd never have known about at all if not for the game. I guess it's part of the appeal, for me at least. Learn something new most every day.

2:35 am

rbud

yes, if you are that, it's a big concern for sure, lynxxx

2:35 am

Kamanjah

Yep! But I don't retain all of the definitions well.

2:37 am

lynxxx

I would have thought rebat was acceptable

2:37 am

rbud

Me either, but I'll have that babble moment of recognition and am sure they are valid words, without even checking.

2:37 am

rbud

I tried that too! :D

2:41 am

Kamanjah

There's an abalone in here. I just looked up the word because I didn't know it. I should because my dad used to harvest abalone back when it was legal. We had to pound it to hell and back, but it was good when he cooked it.

2:47 am

rbud

I shall have to watch for that one, don't think I have it yet.

2:49 am

Kamanjah

Well, I have 13 left for morning. I'm giving up for now. Nite all!

2:49 am

lynxxx

bye Kam

2:49 am

rbud

night!

2:50 am

Kamanjah

Rose, I'll bet you do have it - it's a common Babble word that I never looked up before. Have a good night/day!

2:51 am

rbud

(((hugs!)))

3:20 am

rbud

haha, found it now, didn't have it before I listed. And *only* had to check 8 or 10 definitions I wasn't totally sure of before it came up. :D

3:24 am

rbud

and done, yay! Laters, all!

4:10 am

worzel

7:05 am

periwinkle

double hump letter?

7:06 am

periwinkle

nm figured out what it meant

7:10 am

sukee

I don't even know how to pronounce that ab

7:24 am

hokie carla

well, my speed run leaves 22. BBL

7:32 am

penquis

hello all....my indoor tennis was cancelled this morning because the air quality is so bad (Canadian fires out west)...and such a small grid... ;o(

7:58 am

rururocks

I'm all for double hump clues

8:02 am

welki

good morning, everyone

8:04 am

rururocks

hi welki how's it going with Tucker

8:04 am

penquis

hi welki...hi ru....

8:05 am

rururocks

hi pen.. sounds like you're just striking out on nets today

8:06 am

welki

so far, so good! we think he might be deaf, or has fluid accumulated in his ear canals - his ears were really bad, but are responding to treatment, so have to give it a little time to see

8:07 am

welki

he and daphne are chilled out, nose to nose on the couch right now :)

8:08 am

rururocks

wow.. that's a good start

8:09 am

welki

might be odd, but we've never had problems introducing new animals. i admit we were a little (a lot) nervous about how daphne would react, but she's been great

8:11 am

welki

i'm hoping this will help her with being so reactive to other dogs while on walks, but who knows

8:15 am

welki

and hi, pen!

8:20 am

penquis

*waving*....

8:30 am

phaeton

hello...may I have a clue for the re6/30 pls

8:32 am

hokie carla

thanks, phae. like a mirror does but minus a letter

8:32 am

phaeton

ty

8:32 am

hokie carla

that was my last 6. yippee.

8:33 am

hokie carla

back from the gym but about to go walk winston before it's too hot and smoky. we are at unhealthy for sensitive groups.

8:33 am

hokie carla

oh, someone should have told me that would lead to my last 7 too

8:34 am

hokie carla

20 left, 10 4s and 10 5s. this should be easy. TTFN

8:40 am

penquis

i am done....actually finished earlier....been searching for info on a French Canadian card game called Bizoutte....haven't found anything yet....used to play it with my brother and parents when I was young....

8:41 am

rururocks

little kiss?

8:42 am

welki

hahaha - i mis-typed my search for the game and got this: Cheap Fnaf Bizounette Porn Five Nights At Freddy's Sister

8:43 am

welki

i found results for bizounette and bezique

8:46 am

penquis

checked on bezique...not the same game...but thanks for checking....

8:50 am

welki

i have a couple of french-canadian neighbors - i'll text them and ask

8:50 am

penquis

great, thanks...

8:51 am

penquis

it is a game for four (two teams) and uses both jokers...

8:53 am

welki

message sent, i'll let you know if they answer

8:58 am

penquis

thanks...

9:08 am

welki

they don't know the game - was worth a shot.

9:10 am

penquis

ok, thanks for checking...

9:10 am

penquis

heading out....bye all....

9:11 am

rururocks

what's Fnaf?

9:16 am

welki

dunno

9:16 am

welki

and i've filled my quota for nutty search results for today :)

9:17 am

rururocks

you posted cheap Fnaf? not sure what that means

9:19 am

welki

no no - i did a search for the card game pen was looking for. i mis-spelled the name and that was what was returned in the search

9:19 am

welki

i have no idea what anything in that result, other than porn, means

9:26 am

rururocks

I'd find it hard to believe Penquis is into porn :D

9:30 am

MollyL

Oh, so you believe that straight-laced, tennis-playing, knitting image she purports 😊

9:34 am

Wendrie

afternoon all - could I have a clue for the first ab 5 please?

9:36 am

Wendrie

last word and I am coming up blank...

9:37 am

BzznBea

cain's brother with an extra letter at the end

9:37 am

welki

ab + the first three words of what you'd find in a periodic table

9:37 am

welki

not words, letters

9:37 am

Wendrie

FW thank you!

9:37 am

welki

hi bea

9:37 am

Wendrie

I'm sure I'd tried monkeying that....

9:37 am

BzznBea

hi welki

9:39 am

welki

bea, have you fostered/rescued any deaf dogs? we're not sure if tucker is permanently deaf, but would like to know what to expect (other than the obvious - can never be off leash, for instance)

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

hello

9:40 am

welki

hey owl!

9:41 am

BzznBea

no, we haven't fostered any deaf dogs. white boxers are aften deaf and those that came into rescue were placed with a foster home that used sign language commands.

9:48 am

welki

thanks just the same - i know you've had boxers

9:49 am

BzznBea

did he come from a shelter?

9:50 am

welki

from a rescue

9:51 am

BzznBea

did they note anything about his hearing?

9:54 am

welki

when i asked the foster if she did, she just said it always took them a 'second call for him to notice they wanted his attention' his ears were in bad shape, they're better than they were - i'll be speaking with the rescue admin today about next steps

9:55 am

rururocks

I was at a stoplight yesterday with a big suv in front with the back window partly down and a big goofy boxer staring at me.. I started making goofy faces and the dog got all excited and wiggly ... Boxers are such a riot

9:55 am

BzznBea

your vet should have some ideas as well.

9:56 am

welki

yes, i think that's where we'll end up. have to be careful though, we're on a two week trial and don't 'own' him yet

9:56 am

MollyL

*Imagines the person driving the front car looking in their rear view mirror and seeing the goofy faces

9:56 am

BzznBea

the one we have now is ridiculous.

9:57 am

BzznBea

having a hearing dog also helps

9:58 am

welki

daphne's hearing is perfect - can hear one slivered almond hit the ground from the other end of the house

9:59 am

welki

(disclaimer:i know they're not good for dogs - but was using it as an example)

10:00 am

BzznBea

need to get on with my day...see you all tomorrow

10:00 am

welki

bye, bea - i'm off for now, too. bye, all

10:49 am

hokie carla

11:23 am

hokie carla

I think the early ones were but there are different crops that come in all summer. the stand I stopped at had 2 varieties and he told me one was Red Globe.

11:24 am

hokie carla
