ðŸ¤£ðŸ¤£ I love it. With capital letters like LOOK, I AM POSTING A WORD IN THE CHAT

5:52 am

On occasion, my beloved will try to play Babble because she misses it. Due to the ongoing evolution of her degeneratuve eye disease this has made it very difficult for her to do so, but she has certain habits that help her--such as typing all in caps when playing word games, or typing out e-mails. She always hopes that people understand her reason for using all caps, and not make fun of her for doing so should she mistakenly type the word into the chat room.

5:58 am

Deeha

i type words in the chatroom all the time. i have no excuse. a good old English saying- more power to her elbow

6:14 am

rbud

hear, hear, crossy. Let us all be more tolerant of the few remaining babblers, we are all a declining breed these days.

6:17 am

rbud

in fact, I should indeed mean "more loving and caring" along with "tolerant". (((hugs))) to my fellow word nerds.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Agreed. No one intentionally places a grid word in the chat.

6:22 am

mael

also agreed, it's such a small oops that we can all smile and move on

6:23 am

Norma

And sometimes it is a word you haven't got lol

6:23 am

ivesy3

any one have a clue for the de 9 plz

6:25 am

Scrabbler

True, Norma. We are here for fun, not for criticism.

6:25 am

ivesy3

got it

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Name that 1960's-70s cereal with an alien mascot.

6:33 am

rbud

I had to look it up, so won't play - not sure I ever knew that one, must not have been paying attention on Saturday morning, haha!

6:34 am

Scrabbler

It was popular for us back then.

6:36 am

rbud

cute lil' alien! :D

7:07 am

Scrabbler

Back on-line. Gosh, we depend on those electrons flowing.

7:47 am

MollyL

Quisp. How could you possibly miss those commercials during Saturday cartoons?

7:50 am

MollyL

And by the way, I was smiling. In fact I was laughing.

hi doren

8:42 am

rururocks

how did the seder go?

8:43 am

Dorens

lovely. Arthur's parents are not at all religious, so no Haggadah. Matzos yes, chopped liver ( I made it) but no choruses (horrors!). my favorite dish as a kid, so I always made it to ensure lots and lots of it. I will make it next year.

8:43 am

Dorens

Going to Rachel's today to make a brisket and cake - It's Bucket's birthday. He's 3 already

8:44 am

Dorens

How are you, RU?

8:44 am

rururocks

holy cow... three?

8:44 am

rururocks

yikes

8:44 am

rururocks

I'm fine.. have a big event tonight teaching a masterclass in wine

8:46 am

Dorens

Ooh, lovely. Where is it being held?

8:46 am

phaeton

Hey ru...do you know of a guy out there by the name of Hoffman?

8:46 am

rururocks

Pleasanton (east bay)

8:46 am

rururocks

Hoffman? I know a few hoffmans which one?

8:47 am

phaeton

not sure of the first name...big winery guy. Tried to start a Napa style winery in Missouri.

8:48 am

rururocks

oh.. there's a guy who has a ranch out here in Paso Robles named Hoffman.. I've had a few Missouri wines in my life

8:49 am

phaeton

He bought up almost a whole town here...Augusta MO, then something happened and it all fell throught

8:50 am

rururocks

yeah.. that's the quickest way to lose a fortune

8:51 am

phaeton

He was big into 50's pickup trucks

8:52 am

phaeton

I don't know if he died and his son tried to take over, but something happened to him

8:53 am

rururocks

well that's a sad story then

8:53 am

phaeton

yeah...the town now has a lot of empty buildings with his name on them

8:54 am

rururocks

hence the name? Dust in Hoffman?

8:54 am

phaeton

lol

9:01 am

phaeton

clue for the di8?

9:04 am

Good morning, friends.

9:11 am

rururocks

hi saan hiya bea

9:12 am

rururocks

wow.. the other ten is a wine term

9:20 am

Dorens

Hi Saani

9:21 am

Dorens

and Bea

9:22 am

saanichcat

hey there dorens, letter soon xoxo

9:24 am

MollyL

I thought the ac10 was a cooking term. Why would you do that to wine?

9:26 am

rururocks

when the grapes get really ripe (like in napa and Australia) they have to sometimes add acid to balance them.

9:26 am

rururocks

the acid drops out of the grapes and the juice is a term we call "Flabby"

9:26 am

MollyL

No wonder wine gives some people heartburn

9:27 am

BzznBea

Or acid reflux.

9:29 am

rururocks

I've had a lifetime of wine and never heartburn

9:32 am

rururocks

maybe that's because I have a big heart :D

9:41 am

Dorens

big heart indeed

9:42 am

rururocks

(notes that a few players will choke later when reading the chat)

9:43 am

Dorens

12:08 pm

moolingwa

yeah...that's not a great thought, but certainly feels more probable every day

12:14 pm

moolingwa

acident - when you spill the vinegar

12:15 pm

hurshy

1:09 pm

moolingwa

okay, there's a latin sounding 6, that you need to add di in front of, and you can probably laterally figure out the word from that clue

1:22 pm
