5:29 am
ChampFit

I have one that ends in a vowel.
5:29 am

Of all the enable omissions, "internet" has to be the dumbest.
9:59 am
clg47

at least the first 6 letters on internet work
10:12 am
clg47

we have plenty of old English words so one would think that 'ernest' would also work.
10:18 am

first 7 letters of internet lol

Hi all, stuck at the shop getting tires. Diving in
12:22 pm

2:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Hi all, problem. I don't usually play babble on my phone. I have lost the stats part of the game. How do I get it back? TX
2:43 pm
ChampFit

Did you log in? When I go to my phone, I have to log in, and then it all pops up.
2:43 pm
hokie carla

it's right below the grid, so scroll down your phone screen?
2:43 pm
hokie carla

oh, that might be it
2:43 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Yes I'm logged in
2:44 pm
hokie carla

I very occasionally play on my phone and haven't had that issue, so I don't know.
2:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Stats are gone. If I scroll down I just get blue background
2:44 pm
ChampFit

Then I don't know what it i. Until I log in on the grid on the phone, it just shows the chatbox, and the grid.
2:45 pm
ChampFit

Check the top right corner and see if the 'login' option is there. It's in red.
2:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

This might be a clue. Between the grid and stats I had a menu (?) With four big white buttons. They just had random words. There was another button with a menu logo (?) And when I tapped on it, stats disappeared
2:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

I need an UNDO button!
2:48 pm
ChampFit

Close out and log back in. When in doubt, start over!
2:48 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

I'm logged in. It says so on my game
2:48 pm
ChampFit

Log out, exit out completely, and try again.
2:49 pm
hokie carla

I would start over too like Champ is saying.
2:49 pm
ChampFit

And God bless playing on your phone...that's hard. Well, it is for me.
2:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Gonna try logging out, TX
2:49 pm
hokie carla

yeah, it's the worst
2:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Holy Crap it worked!!! Game has been UNHOSED
2:53 pm
ChampFit

Go Gwen go!!!!
2:54 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Only playing on phone because they're fixing my car
2:54 pm
ChampFit

Desperate times...
2:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Anyone know wht i have "pens mugs loft face" taking up stace beneath my grid?
2:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Why
2:56 pm
ChampFit

No, but don't poke it....cause you problems before!
3:06 pm

Not gonna poke it!
3:08 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Might bitch at it tho lol
3:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Nbt, nbs, woot
3:10 pm
ChampFit

Ha!
3:10 pm
ChampFit

@ carla.... or what I scream when I have a certain beer, alt spelling!
3:13 pm
hokie carla

gwen, I think maybe you are getting words pop up from your Add Word box that you previously tried. Happens to me on a computer. I usually have to x out the first one of the day every day but if I don't and they pile up I get a bunch that pop up.
3:14 pm
ChampFit

That's a weird glitch!
3:15 pm
hokie carla

it started after dr. god switched to the current server and everyone was complaining.
3:15 pm
hokie carla

I'm not sure how to get rid of them on the phone though.
3:17 pm
ChampFit

Ah....shouldn't be surprised then.
3:31 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Sheesh, what is up with these mechanic place? They said they're getting parts, and I could go home and they would call me when they're ready for me, so I went home, they called me, I came back, and I've been sitting her over half an hour. Car is still sitting in the lot. No sign of them working on it
3:32 pm
ChampFit

That's ridiculous!
3:32 pm
hokie carla

that is annoying. anyone you can check in with, like why did you call me?
3:33 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Hokie, how do I X out these random words? Or eliminate the whole menu thing? TX
3:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Weird. No random words until I tap in the field to type in a word. Then "pens mugs loft face" again
3:36 pm
hurshy

poor gwen
3:36 pm
hurshy

too bad your exterminator laser thing won't help with either of these problems
3:37 pm
ChampFit

welcome back hurshy
3:38 pm
lexophile

Hey Champ :)
3:38 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Lol hurry
3:38 pm
ChampFit

Lex!!!! Great to see you!
3:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

The mechanic says my car is next. So I wait
3:39 pm
lexophile

Btw, I have never asked you, but obviously I have never figured it out... what does your moniker mean? lol
3:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Lol hurshy (Phone spelling for me)
3:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Who, me?
3:40 pm
ChampFit

I was President of a running group called Champions Fit, so....chopped it off.
3:40 pm
lexophile

sorry, that was for Champ
3:40 pm
lexophile

Ahh, ok, you
3:40 pm
lexophile

you're too damned healthy for me ;)
3:41 pm
ChampFit

Life goal: my kids won't have to wipe my butt!
3:41 pm
lexophile

Ha!
3:41 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

A book doctor is a publishing term. An editor who can fix a crap manuscript fast. I am legally a real book doctor
3:41 pm
ChampFit

That's awesome Gwen!
3:41 pm
lexophile

Cool moniker, Gwen
3:42 pm
hurshy

my kids won't have to wipe my butt, because i haven't got any kids
3:42 pm
ChampFit

Winner!
3:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Thanks. Actually I chose it in self defense.
3:44 pm
lexophile

I have 2 boys... sure as hell don't want them wiping my butt...
3:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Long story short. A perk on a listserv I was on called himself the Book Nazi. I objected to a lot of his posts. Then when I needed a new email, Book Doctor was my good to his evil
3:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Perk = perk
3:45 pm
ChampFit

Love it. Positivity
3:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Jerk
3:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

How did this wholesome topic turn into butt wiping? LOL
3:46 pm
ChampFit

My son turned 40 last week. If he keeps getting older, he might expect me to wipe his!
3:47 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

MECHANIC IS MOVING MY CAR!
3:47 pm
ChampFit

wooHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
3:47 pm
hurshy

yay
3:47 pm
lexophile

Champ, I see you occasionally on playbabble. I RARELY come out of lurk mode here (but the tone hasn't been aggressive or condescending in quite a while)
3:48 pm
ChampFit

I'm glad you did!
3:48 pm
lexophile

Champ and I have known each other in person for years... we just haven't talked in some time
3:48 pm
hurshy

i am very mystified about my 2 missing G words
3:49 pm
ChampFit

I bet they're the gr6-7. Rhymes with middle section muscle..leg area
3:50 pm
hurshy

the middle of the leg isn't a muscle, it's a knee, isn't it? *confused*
3:51 pm
hurshy

ohhh i see what you mean
3:51 pm
ChampFit

Junction where your lower abdomen meets you upper thighs.....ohh la la!
3:51 pm
hurshy

ty, got them
3:51 pm
ChampFit

new to me
3:51 pm
lexophile

then how the heck did you figure it out???
3:52 pm
hurshy

usually it's either by monkeying, a previous clue, or using an aid such as morewords
3:53 pm
ChampFit

I went to Lickety for my last 10. I'm a GENIUS with the list. ;) Still need 2 T's.
3:54 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Mechanic moved my car closer to the garage. It's not yet in garage. Oy
3:54 pm
lexophile

I rarely get close enough to done to bother with the list... I have finished just a dozen or so puzzles in years
3:55 pm
hokie carla

rehi, just saw your post that is about to scroll off gwen, so that is what I suspected - it is popping those previous words ups when you go to the add word box. I will play around on my phone and see if I can replicate.
3:55 pm
lexophile

BUT, I'm pretty darn good on playbabble and serpentine
3:55 pm
hokie carla

this is playbabble
3:55 pm
lexophile

Oh crap! got my game names mixed up...
3:55 pm
ChampFit

Are you talking about Wordsplay?
3:56 pm
lexophile

I meant wordsplay
3:56 pm
ChampFit

FW! Last word was the damn car. Again, I suck at going left.
3:56 pm
lexophile

I use lexophile on Serp, but just a ~ on WP
3:57 pm
hokie carla

I always forget that is a unit, thanks for that one Champ
3:57 pm
ChampFit

That's why I never see you! Will be on the lookout. YW carla. I forget it too.
3:57 pm
hokie carla

From my phone, now going to add word
3:58 pm
ChampFit

Before I go, last hint, there's a pt6/21. Have a great evening all...great to see you Lex!
3:58 pm
lexophile
