12:33 am

grannyrose

Gillie, nothing to do with daylight savings time. Lickety has set the page to upload clues by the time in America, not our time.

12:35 am

Gillie

yes, but the time change is tonight, and maybe he went early?

12:35 am

grannyrose

have emailed lickety. we'll just have to do it like we usually do

12:35 am

grannyrose

but your time change isn't until 2am? correct?

12:35 am

12:48 am

grannyrose

12:48 am

Gillie

12:52 am

Gillie

Actually, I have that one!

12:52 am

grannyrose

liz, mobility wise doing well. pain wise nearly due for my 12 weekly treatment. all in all disgustingly healthy

12:53 am

Lizlin

That’s good.

12:53 am

grannyrose

nu 6/24, subtle difference

12:53 am

Gillie

I've found two more - N and H, but don't worry about it - I'm sure I'll get them later

12:54 am

grannyrose

have been trying to mimic you and your other half. walking around after each time i have something to eat.

12:55 am

grannyrose

us 6/24

12:55 am

Lizlin

That doesn’t sound like me! Though I guess it’s a good idea!

12:57 am

grannyrose

well you used to go for a short walk after your meals, at least when we saw you last.

12:58 am

Lizlin

We still walk when we can. Life’s busy, which is why I do t chat any more. Just do the grid and get on with other stuff.

12:58 am

grannyrose

lickety just got back to me. says list should be okay after a refresh.

12:59 am

Lizlin

Good to catch up. Keep well.

12:59 am

grannyrose

you too liz

1:07 am

ursh

really stuck on that lone N - clue please

ursh

rururocks

7:31 am

hokie carla

I still see the really sporty one occasionally

7:33 am

hokie carla

apparently I'm going to need more help with the U than the stats. can't seem to make anything work.

7:34 am

rururocks

it's similar sounding to some one who is a pest

7:34 am

hokie carla

nm, finally monkeyed it

7:34 am

hokie carla

but thanks

7:35 am

rururocks

no problem Peri 2

7:37 am

hokie carla

don't worry, I still can't find that upper S

7:37 am

hokie carla

even though I keep seeing suture I'm sure it's not an allowed phantom

7:37 am

rururocks

similar to the car sort of

7:37 am

rururocks

just jumble up the words a bit

7:38 am

hokie carla

how many letters?

7:38 am

rururocks

sa6/7

7:38 am

hokie carla

7:39 am

rururocks

I was stumped on the a and b and had to look them up.. snarky little grid today

7:40 am

rururocks

but loving these small grids

7:40 am

hokie carla

well, I found one on each of those. I know the Bs I'm missing are bw but surely can't get anything to work.

7:41 am

rururocks

think african like chief or head guy

hokie carla

how many letters?

7:42 am

rururocks

hokie carla

hokie carla

thanks, ruru. that did it.

hokie carla

yep

7:48 am

rururocks

it's as black as night out there And I'm going for a walk soon

7:48 am

MollyL

I hate it when it gets dark early

7:49 am

rururocks

makes me sleepy when it gets dark

7:49 am

MollyL

Over here on the right coast we will have lighter mornings and darker evenings

7:49 am

hokie carla

and I went to bed early last night, but then my uncle & cousin called to tell me my aunt died. then I talked to my brothers for a while, then I couldn't go to sleep so it was after 1am.

7:50 am

rururocks

oh sorry hokes.. did you like your aunt a lot?

7:50 am

MollyL

Sorry about your aunt

7:50 am

rururocks

I don't care for some of my aunts.. so just askin'

7:51 am

hokie carla

yeah, she was really close in age to my mom and they were pretty close. thanks, guys. also, my cousin that's her daughter is my closest cousin. we are 3 mos apart and went to school together.

7:51 am

rururocks

although I only have one left now

7:52 am

rururocks

well then I'm sorry hokie.. that's awful

7:53 am

hokie carla

thanks, she wasn't in the best of health but it was unexpected. she would go visit my mom at the nursing home and couldn't walk all the way back so would have someone push her in a wheelchair back there. last time I went she was in the room sitting in a wheelchair, so when she was ready to leave I wheeled her out to her car, which she got into and drove home herself!

7:55 am

rururocks

how old was she if you don't mind me asking

7:59 am

hokie carla

she would've been 80 in Dec

8:01 am

rururocks

oh. that's too sad then

8:02 am

hurshy

8:05 am

MollyL

8:20 am

hurshy

8:20 am

rururocks

8:21 am

hurshy

i would recommend changing that status

8:22 am

rururocks

I doubt it.. I'm too old and I would bearly understand it :D

8:23 am

TQ

8:25 am

8:51 am

Hettys daughter

not sure how to play this...... my Mom was an avid Babbler, and had many friends who also played. I am not as clever as Mom was, but certainly enjoy word games.... looking, in particular, for "helen keller", who left a lovely message on Mom's obituary..... nearly 12 years ago!!!

8:53 am

penquis

you can look at "Who's Online" above the chat box to see if Helen is here...i checked and she is not here...don't know any other way to contact her...

8:59 am

Hettys daughter

Thank you, Penquis! I just realized I did not put an apostrophe after "Hetty".... Mom would be chuckling..... I have "Helen Keller's" real name from Mom's Obit, but not sure if I should post it on this site. Appreciate your help!

8:59 am

penquis

I checked the rankings and found HelenKeller...she lists an email address in her profile... justkowskir@gmail.com

8:59 am

Hettys daughter

Penquis, you are AMAZING. Thank you!!

9:00 am

penquis

you are quite welcome....enjoyed playing detective.. ;o)

9:03 am

penquis

can't find my last word....can someone please tell me if there are more than three CH 6 words?....i am missing a C 6 word....

9:05 am

MollyL

Hetty, who was your Mom?

9:07 am

Hettys daughter

My name is Alison, and my Mom's name is/was Hetty. I am just trying to figure out how to play this game..... :) Any "helpful hints" would be most welcome

9:08 am

penquis

her name on Babble was Hetty, too....just saw her in the rankings...

9:08 am

penquis

to play....have you ever played Boggle?

9:08 am

MollyL

There is a HELP section above the chat box

9:08 am

Hettys daughter

never played it, but I know Mom loved the game.

9:10 am

penquis

then the Help section is the best way to learn the rules...

9:14 am

penquis

monkeyed the last word....i am done....not bad for a small grid....bye all....

9:14 am

Hettys daughter

Thank you, Penqui and MollyL, for your help. I am going to "give it a go"! BTW, Penquis, where/how do I find Hetty in the rankings? Please and thanks

9:16 am

penquis

you click on Rankings over the chat box and just look....i scrolled down the first column until I found her name...tedious process but effective... ;o)... if you click on her name, you can see her profile (what she wrote about herself)...

9:16 am

mkg

Hetty, just make words 4 letters or more and you will then see how it is played. But this is a bad grid to start on since there are very few words. Sometimes there are hundreds of words. I suggest that you wait for tomorrow and hopefully there will be words that are common and simple.

9:16 am

mkg

Oh sorry now i see you are hettys daughter not hetty. Apologies.

9:19 am

Hettys daughter

It's all good, MKG. :)

9:20 am

Hettys daughter

Penquis, Thank you!!

9:20 am

MollyL

If you click CNTRL + F (Find) in Rankings it will give you a find box. Type the name you are looking for in there

9:21 am

MollyL

Truth be told, this is as good a grid as any to start with. They are all pretty tough

9:24 am

penquis

and if you use this URL you can go directly to Hetty's profile (I hope, lol)... https://tinyurl.com/bdhvneek

9:26 am

penquis

Hetty even posted flickr photos...

9:26 am
