7:11 am
peternl

7:11 am
herinfernallady
Oh i am missing the sun. yesterday was lovely today bler
7:12 am
dorens
reminds me of the 535 babble grid we had last week, you'd have loved it, smooth
7:12 am
herinfernallady
I liked that grid :)
7:12 am
smooth_pappa
not me... we've had too much nun, and no rain lately... thney keep calling for it to rain, and it will sprinkle for a few minutes, and that's it. I really hope it downpours today.
7:12 am
smooth_pappa
I heard about that grid, dorens ;)
7:13 am
dorens
yes, it was fun, but it took a big chunk out of my day, herein. do try to accomplish something else besides babble
7:13 am
smooth_pappa
A-HA! I think I've just cracked this puzzle... let's see
7:14 am
dorens
(inadvertently left out the I thee, wasn't admonishing you herein, meant that I do try....)
7:14 am
herinfernallady
mmm I am doing a database for a volunteer org that is busting my butt
7:14 am
smooth_pappa
DONE!
7:14 am
herinfernallady
Its ok dorens im not offeneded
7:14 am
herinfernallady
Got a secret to this code cracking there Smooth
7:15 am
dorens
wow smooth.. as always, I'm impressed... this will take me a lot longer, i'm sure
7:15 am
smooth_pappa
after about 6 weeks of long days involving cataloge photo shoots, my latest project is moving our entire sample room, a suite that we use for storage, and our shipping dept into a new bigger suite in the same building
7:15 am
smooth_pappa
that's what's been keeping me from babbleland
7:15 am
herinfernallady
Nice smooth is it a job you love though?
7:16 am
dorens
so, is that a good kind of busy then? bigger suite usually would mean nicer digs, more room etc
7:16 am
smooth_pappa
yeah, it feels good to be busy at work... but sometimes it is a lot
7:17 am
herinfernallady
I wish i had my brain back to work :(
7:17 am
dorens
why are you not working herin?
7:18 am
smooth_pappa
oh, it'll be a great new space.... you might even say it'll be a sweet suite
7:18 am

My brain went away
7:18 am
smooth_pappa
hi evan!
7:18 am
dorens
tomatoes incoming, smooth
7:19 am
dorens
eva, it does seem weird, doesn't it?
7:19 am
herinfernallady
Babble was too small today
7:19 am
herinfernallady
Thus im here
7:19 am
evanadine
havent been over there yet -- does that mean theres hope for me finishing
7:20 am
dorens
my sister (a professor at tufts) had mental problems and stopped working many years ago.... she seems to be getting it back together now, but will probably never go back to work
7:20 am
dorens
me neither, (not babbling yet)... is it as small as the 44 we had? (say no)
7:20 am
herinfernallady
Evan its about 80 words. Dorens i havent worked in about a year and a half
7:21 am
dorens
and you don't feel ready yet, herin? (i'm only saying, she stayed out too long)
7:21 am
evanadine
i think i saw a grid ones with under 40 words...32, i want to say...
7:22 am
herinfernallady
Smooth hints on finishing this? Naked pairs etc. Yep Dorens i like the inside away from out there. I rarely go out in the week
7:23 am
dorens
you may be right eva.... i just remember at one point 444 wasa the largest I had done, and Ii remember seeing a 44, thinking it was a neat way to remember largest and smallest... but now that i think of it, i seem to recll a 35
7:24 am
smooth_pappa
all right guys, I must be off... have a good day!
7:24 am
herinfernallady
SMooth hints on finishing this?
7:24 am
dorens

8:21 am
eyeman
toughest one of the month for me
8:22 am
UDbmas
mediums are always the worst ones for me
8:26 am
drwho
Difficulty score 34. Tougher than the average medium. Virtual cross hatching is the most advanced technique needed.
8:28 am
UDbmas
Had to go green, but opening up now
9:11 am
UnikeTheHunter
Go.
9:37 am
UnikeTheHunter
11. No greens. Stuck.
9:44 am
OrangeSlice
This one looks easy
9:44 am
UnikeTheHunter
Got one more, a virtual missing digit.
9:46 am
UnikeTheHunter
I take that back. That would have been a possible mistake.
9:47 am
UnikeTheHunter
No. It was good. Complicated, but good.
10:06 am
OrangeSlice
triple along one of the center columns
10:06 am
OrangeSlice
oh, wait, you can solve all three cells
10:09 am
UnikeTheHunter
Does the name Krys10 indicate that you are a Christian in Sodom by the Bay?
10:09 am
Krys10
no, it indicates that my name is Krysten in RL
10:09 am
Krys10
no relation
10:09 am
OrangeSlice
That's what I always thought.
10:13 am
UnikeTheHunter
I'm really stuck. And I just hate to use greens on a medium. I think I'll take a break now.
10:14 am
Krys10
see ya later
10:15 am
OrangeSlice
I think it just opened up
10:15 am
Krys10
i found a quad along a center column but no triple yet
10:16 am
OrangeSlice
Done. No greens.
10:17 am
Krys10
a-ha - damn intersections again
10:21 am
Krys10

3:07 pm
helenkeller
no guessing needed, but lots of greening, then un-greening :)
3:07 pm
davetysall
is ungreening a word?
3:08 pm
sandbox74
maybe de-greening ... lol
3:08 pm
helenkeller
yes, of course, when you take away a green it is ungreened - geez, everyone knows that, LOL
3:08 pm
davetysall
lol sry
3:09 pm
helenkeller
de-greening is what the oil companies do
3:09 pm
helenkeller
it is a fine distinction, of course :)
3:17 pm
SykoticPhoenix
man forget it
3:17 pm
SykoticPhoenix
I've got a concert to get to

14. Stuck. Going outside to get some work done.
5:21 pm
UnikeTheHunter
