good night all

6:43 am

MollyL

Wow, not much flip chat

7:24 am

sukee

I miss how chat used to be.

8:16 am

rururocks

I don't

9:01 am

rbud

there are many folks I miss seeing, I have to say. but there were a few I hope I never see again, haha!

9:03 am

Norma

il

9:04 am

rururocks

sure I miss hego, zooz, judi, volleymomdee,and others.. but the chat is ever changing and it doesn't have to be endless clue giving and once a subject is brought up people contribute to the chat.

9:06 am

rbud

wait are you for or against the last part of your comment (about bringing up a subject and folks contributing) - I'm not clear if you feel it doesn't have to be that way or if that's a whole different thought.

9:07 am

rururocks

there are discussions here.. it just takes someone to bring it up. I am saying the chat is more or less normal to me. At least it's not filled with a bunch of nonsense.

9:08 am

rururocks

I'm for discussions ...even politics (which seems to ruffle some feathers) as long as people allow another line of thinking and don't berate a player for their political beliefs... but many people here are wise and give wise advice from life experience.

9:14 am

rbud

yes, I enjoy the discussions, too. But a little nonsense is fun as well, like long stretches of laundry puns, haha - sort of delightful to me.

I do miss working with others to figure out words - if it were up to me, the list show up too soon. I wish it wouldn't pop up until a few hours in, I feel it's more fun to suss it out as a group.

9:14 am

rbud

*shows

9:15 am

rururocks

Puns are fun for sure... I was talking about pooh flinging and pirates, and other dumb stuff. Funny stuff here is just that fun and funny

9:17 am

PJDR

phantom 'notified'

9:17 am

rururocks

I wish lickety would set the list up for midday the next day.

9:17 am

PJDR

cade

9:17 am

PJDR

oops

9:17 am

rururocks

that one is not a phantom

9:18 am

rururocks

:D

9:18 am

rbud

that would be even better! But it seems some get terribly impatient nowadays, and start firing off emails and such if it's even an hour late.

9:19 am

PJDR

once

9:19 am

PJDR

oops again.

9:19 am

rururocks

you're on a roll pj

9:20 am

PJDR

mea culpa

9:21 am

rururocks

the f is brutal today

9:21 am

rbud

I understand there used to be no list at all early on.

9:21 am

rururocks

oh yeah in the early days we relied on BrandyJack and other good players to come up with a list

9:24 am

Norma

Wow ruru I had forgotten about BrandyJack

9:25 am

rururocks

nice guy I think he still plays off and on but never chats

9:26 am

rbud

when I first started, I was amazed at how quick some folks were, and how easy it seemed for a few. Some great minds. I miss that, and it's one reason I avoid going to the "cheat sheet" as long as possble.

9:26 am

rbud

not to imply that I don't appreciate the list, I certainly do! ♥

9:27 am

Norma

Like a lot of us just loiters .. I joined Babble over 25 years ago when Lickety and Mr President first started with the clues

9:29 am

rururocks

um norma that's like 17 years you joined. same month as me

9:29 am

rururocks

sorry 19 years for you

9:30 am

rbud

I've no idea how long the game's been here, myself, anyone know when it first started?

9:30 am

rururocks

I think 2005 or 2004?

9:31 am

rururocks

actually Sept 30th 2003

9:32 am

Norma

I thought it was earlier than that .. just shows how time flies and memories fade lol

9:32 am

rbud

wow!

9:32 am

doseffing

... yeah ... if you check the profiles for Marigold and Sunflower at the top of the points scored list is at least back to 2004 ... ... 2003 seems not unreasonable

9:32 am

doseffing

... I wasn't going to say that Norma ...

9:33 am

Norma

We had some real characters playing at the beginning ..

9:34 am

rururocks

check the archives dose.. it's 9/30/2003

9:34 am

doseffing

... ah yes ...

9:35 am

rururocks

19 years is a lOOONG time Norma

9:36 am

rbud

I can hardly believe I've been at this for 15 years myself! I used to be so anal about it, tried to finish each and every one for a while. Much more relaxed these days.

9:36 am

Norma

It is ruru but I stopped playing for a while as I lost the key I had to load it onto my new laptop .. only recently found it so could reload it ..

9:37 am

MollyL

I agree with Ru about discussions and actual "chat". Chat of late is endless cluing and "I have this many".

9:37 am

rbud

well, it's good to see you made it back, Norma. :D

9:38 am

doseffing

...

9:38 am

rbud

???

9:39 am

Norma

Thanks rbud so many of the 'old' names have gone RIP

9:40 am

MollyL

Oh Lord, they're not all dead. Some just don't play anymore

9:41 am

Norma

No Molly .. Just some of them

9:43 am

rbud

ru wasn't kidding about the F's in this one, I hit a wall with them very early. :(

9:46 am

rururocks

a few have passed.. Jillibus, Westford, CJmom (sp?), Volleymomdee, that we know of.. Others maybe just gave up like Haz, Une, Judi, and then there are the missing:

9:46 am

rururocks

MLF, TraderKate, and others.

9:47 am

origami

Nef and Hego are also no longer playing

9:47 am

Norma

It was Jillibus and Volleymomdee I was thinking of

9:47 am

MollyL

Ruby and Annie passed too. I miss them

9:49 am

rbud

I didn't know Dee was gone - I've been friends with her on FB for ages, missed it somehow. She was one of the ones I always admired for her quick ability to find the words!

9:50 am

rururocks

oh yeah Ruby and Anniebrook were wonderful

9:50 am

mael

good morning

9:50 am

rururocks

Dee was just brilliant.. an amazingly smart person

9:50 am

rururocks

hi mael

9:50 am

rbud

Mornin', mael!

9:51 am

rururocks

easy grid mael except for the F

9:51 am

rururocks

the F will have you using F words in no time at all

9:51 am

origami

I also miss Torgone who passed away

9:51 am

MollyL

Effin' F

9:51 am

Norma

Fireworks !!!!

9:52 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. Torgone was great too.. really funny guy

9:52 am

MollyL

Torgone had a great sense of humor

9:52 am

rbud

yay, Norma!

9:56 am

rururocks

and there are more than a couple of players that are long gone thankfully

9:57 am

rbud

the Pratchett line about how "a man is not dead while his name is still spoken" crosses my mind, nice to think of some that are gone. (so let's not name the bad ones? haha)

9:58 am

MollyL

Yes, some we are well rid of

9:58 am

waskallia

like nancy boy ( is that right name)

9:58 am

rbud

that's a big one right there, for sure.

9:58 am

waskallia

I was here almost at the very begonning, Kallia, but lost my password so signed up again

9:59 am

MollyL

Nancy Boy, one of our many fake players

9:59 am

rbud

clever new name then, waskallia, makes perfect sense! :D

10:00 am

waskallia

I don't chat muh these days.

10:01 am

rururocks

why is that waskallia?

10:03 am

hurshy

morning

10:03 am

waskallia

I don't find it very engaging these days....

10:03 am

mael

the F is indeed troublesome

10:03 am

mael

10:04 am

rururocks

hi hursh

10:04 am

waskallia

10:04 am

10:04 am

rururocks

minveryny

10:05 am

origami

Min shows up once in a while, doesn't she?

10:05 am

waskallia

her clues were fun

10:05 am

hurshy

i think so

10:07 am

rbud

I want to say I think I saw min mention a new job that is .taking up more of her time

10:08 am

rururocks

min is a really nice person

10:10 am

MollyL

Min did the clue stories in her profile too

10:12 am

hurshy

Zs Zapped!

10:14 am

mael

the 6s are definitely harder than the 7s today...

10:16 am

mael

and I'm still missing one F. Which is probably a 6 lol

10:18 am

Aloyisius

speaking of players, I'm concerned about Dianne; she and I were close in rankings and now she hasn't played in a long time. Hope she is ok. GTG.. company coming to view the eclipse on Monday. We are in the path of totality.. have a great weekend Babblers!

10:18 am

mael

10:19 am

rbud

there IS an fi6/30

10:20 am

hurshy

yeah, the man a woman is engaged to

10:20 am

MollyL

Well, I always hope that players who aren't around anymore have just moved on. Instead of assuming they are dead.

10:20 am

mael

I have the serious boyfriend

10:20 am

mael

10:21 am
