5:52 am

sprite

it's a mork and mindy grid

5:52 am

mael

5:53 am

sprite

couldn't... babble was not working, so had to wait for Jamie to fix things. But no harm, now I get to babble in the afternoon

5:56 am

mael

enjoy!

5:56 am

sprite

6:55 am

Good morning, Babblers. :)

7:11 am

MollyL

Jamie is Dr. God for those of you who don't know his real name.

7:12 am

hokie carla

I did not know that after all these years, but was just reading and wondering if Jamie was someone in sprite's house. ðŸ¤£

7:15 am

MollyL

And a good rule of thumb is, don't wait for him to fix things, email him and let him know they are broken. He may be Dr. God, but he is not omniscient.

7:17 am

MollyL

People like to name drop in the case of Dr. God. I usually refer to him the way most people know him.

7:24 am

hokie carla

I definitely think he doesn't keep an eye on this whatsoever, so he needs notifying when it's down.

7:30 am

Atalante

goodness didn't think I'd be able to access babble from china

7:39 am

MollyL

Same thing goes for Lickety. He doesn't always know that his list didn't update, so an email is a good idea.

9:16 am

Dr_God

I just saw a couple emails reporting that the server was down earlier. I didn't do anything to fix it, so it must have been divine Babble intervention.

9:18 am

Atalante

well thanks for reporting back DrG :)

9:24 am

wingding

ty dr

9:35 am

MollyL

Praise the Lord!!!

10:07 am

hurshy

oh dear, i'm glad i missed a server downage

10:09 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! the first name of the titular Prisoner of Azkaban

10:10 am

Atalante

Dog star!

10:10 am

hurshy

that too

10:13 am

hurshy

hmm, enable doesn't know about mung beans

10:19 am

hurshy

and lookit, we have both halves of the Egyptian god couple

10:23 am

hurshy

phantom: sorrow

10:24 am

Dorens

yeah, that mung bean omission surprised me. I remember sprouting them back in the dark ages (70's)

10:27 am

Dorens

not knowing about Siri is understandable, though, and I see that Siri must be a proper noun since autocorrect has capitalized it for me,

10:28 am

hurshy

i don't think i've eaten or even seen mung beans but i've heard of them :D so typical of me

10:29 am

Dorens

Back in the 70's, particularly if you lived in a city (which I did), things like that were easily obtained. my old hippie-ish days

10:29 am

hurshy

neat

10:30 am

BzznBea

The 70's was a great era.

10:30 am

hurshy

whereas now we just have intimidating men showing up at immigration lawyers' homes, turning off their wifi so that their Ring cam won't record the interaction, and intimidating them

10:31 am

BzznBea

Let me remind you of Watergate.

10:31 am

Dorens

Well in the early 70's we had Nixon and Agnew, and I had Frank Rizzo in Philadelphia, and we thought that was bad

10:31 am

hurshy

watergate was like a water pistol compared to what this administration is doing

10:31 am

Dorens

absolutely

10:34 am

Dorens

So, after sitting for a long time and I stand up---why can't that be unsit?

10:34 am

hurshy

probably just because it's so unnecessary

10:35 am

hurshy

you say stand up, we don't really need another way to say that, so we never created one

10:35 am

Atalante

my phantom is mirror

10:35 am

Dorens

true, but that bottom u is the only tile I haven't cracked yet
and yes, mirror is my phantom as well, ata

10:36 am

hurshy

the dude who will go to his grave unwept, unhonored, and ....

10:36 am

Dorens

thanks

10:36 am

hurshy

AND you could make unsit from the upper one, so it wouldn't come from the bottom anyway lol

10:37 am

Dorens

oh that's true, but of course I hadn't noticed that.

10:41 am

Atalante

well thats an interesting an8

10:41 am

Dorens

nice -- can you clue it please?

10:43 am

Atalante

an4 + what people are doing against Trump

10:43 am

BzznBea

against public uprise

10:43 am

Dorens

well, I would call it more of a peaceful protest but thanks, the clue worked

10:44 am

Dorens

I've participated in many of them, but never actually witnessed a ri**

10:44 am

Dorens

I've participated in many of them, but never actually witnessed a ri**

10:45 am

Atalante

well yes, but I couldn't think how else to clue that word :D

10:45 am

Dorens

sorry- something very slow here and I thought I hadn't sent the clue through, Gotta get going now. Nice to see you all

10:45 am

Dorens

no, fair play - it was a good clue ata

10:45 am

Dorens

enjoy China

10:48 am

Atalante

good to see you Dorens!

10:54 am

moolingwa

10:58 am

BzznBea
