spatial --- I was referring to the old Prophecy movie in the last post -- a first attempt at scaring the public into ecological awareness ---- I LOVE the more recent one -- was tellign everyone else about the image of Viggo as Satan --- he made the show --- though Walken as Gabriel was a good choice as well :) Now I hear a back glaring at me from the other room cos it needs me ;)

12:39 am

Hi nava -- haven't seen you in a while (*hug*)

12:40 am

hey greywoulf. it's been busy around here for the holidays. out of town and that kind of stuff. slow internet at the inlaws and just not worth trying to play the game. nice to be back and back in routine.

12:41 am

Hope your holidays went well? Mine were quiet, but very pleasant :)

12:42 am

glad to see you back Nave Nan you look great

12:43 am

yes, very nice here too. not quiet, but nice. i have two young boys. they were very excited and awake christmas morning. not too early though. around 7 probably. they had a blast. we all did.

12:43 am

This looks evil... I only see 10 words!!

12:44 am

thanks blaze, good to be back

12:44 am

mrp it is tricky but lots of nice easy 4 letter words with plurals... and australian beer

12:45 am

Ah, I just spent a week in the place with the same name as Aust Beer!

12:45 am

mrp -- you just have to look at the grid crosseyed -- I am over half way done -- though I have only found 2 of the 7's and neither of the 8's yet :)

12:47 am

I'm down to needing 34 right now

12:48 am

Sure... kill my buzz, Hugs ;)

12:49 am

Is freon a brand name?

12:49 am

as 8...... what pot smokers are.....

12:50 am

47 to go here I was wondering the same thing, GW

12:50 am

I don't think it is spelled that way ??

12:51 am

Pot smokers, Blaze? -- airhead isn't in there!

12:51 am

yeah, I'm pretty sure freon is a brand name

12:51 am

what they are after .......

12:52 am

:o) Thx Blaze, now I have them both!

12:54 am

that clue is eluding me...

12:56 am

me too mr. pres -- another clue, Blaze?

12:56 am

(*puppy eyes*) Pleeaasse?

12:56 am

a st 5/10 plural..... remember the moonies

12:57 am

Blaze - your 1st clue was great - got it straight away. Thanks.

12:58 am

You are very welcome

1:00 am

I'm confused -- not all that unusual!

1:01 am

Glad it's not just me, C-nan

nan, so am I... can't get it!

1:01 am

I am sorry..... about the confusion..... most people call pot smokers stoners....

1:02 am

looks like we are the 3 musketeers of confusion :D

1:02 am

I have two st 5/10's, the rock and the pig -- does it use either of those?

1:02 am

I think most of us get that part, but the connection isn't clicking. Aside from the fact that stoner isn't there.....

1:03 am

have you ever been to the rockies ?? as 8 is much smaller

1:03 am

If Mr. Danza and Mr. Randal and Mr. Bennett were all in the room, it would be full of to7's.... add an a in front

1:03 am

when I try putting an a in front of the st 5 or 6, it isn't accepted.

1:03 am

Greetings babblers...I've got an st 8/40, but can't seem to find the as 8... the st one has to do with the most rocks

1:04 am

when you get norads clue add the a drop the t

1:05 am

Finally got that d7

1:05 am

got it -- thanks

1:05 am

Got it. Ugh.

1:06 am

ditto

1:06 am

I swear I typed that 4 times and got bounced!!

1:06 am

Any hints for that d7 hockeyguy? It's my last d

1:07 am

Which one do you need. I only have the first one.

1:08 am

oh wait, I need 2 d's... I guess they are both 7's? I haven't looked at the list yet.

1:09 am

Oh, OK. The one I have is like the de6/21 before it, but with another letter after the 4th letter.

1:10 am

d/7 switch a letter = far away

1:11 am

:o) Thank you... got it!

1:21 am

help with the te 6/18's (3 of them, ugh)....please....

1:22 am

mon two sound like the male genital

1:23 am

mon... one is the male organ. it's the only word I have so far.

1:23 am

Hey all - just checking in to see whether it's a doable grid or whether I need to skip another day...

1:23 am

griffs it is do able.... how are you to day ??

1:23 am

Thanks Blaze :o) Hiya Griffs!

1:24 am

Way doable, Griff -- 169 and I have only 50 to go :)

ta 6 - someone who samples food and the plural

1:25 am

I'm okay. Sad for my friend's family.

1:25 am

It's very doable, Griff.

1:26 am

thanks .... male organ.... yup two spellings for that!

1:26 am

By the way -- tomorrow is 'the real me' icon day, if any of you should care to join in.

1:26 am

te6 - every man has a pair of these te6 - same as above, but one letter difference

1:26 am

now change the end letters to opposite of under

1:27 am

whats the 3rd te6?

1:27 am

HG see post 1:26

1:28 am

Guess I'm going to have to break down and consult bj's list for the last 30.

1:29 am

Yeah, I have the two for male organs. The third is the same too?

1:30 am

Hg.... the third change last to letters for opposite of under

1:31 am

No, use the first 4 letters plus the opposite of under.....

1:31 am

3rd te 6/18 : A 16th-century French silver coin.

thank you!

1:32 am

Oh, I thought you said "other" and not "under" My mistake. Thanks.

1:32 am

perhaps the opposite of off is more appropriate. Instead of the te4/4 being off it is **.

1:32 am

Yes... BJ that makes better sense

fruqun F's... I am having heaps of trouble with them!!

1:38 am

pres..... when you are anxious about something, you fr**

1:39 am

ne6/21?

thanks mon

1:40 am

Huh. BJ's list has 15 st's, but i seem to have 16 of them.

1:40 am

Pres, when you type on a computer the writing is called a fo**.

1:40 am

Q refresh your bab anon page....

1:41 am

Yeah, he said his solver missed one.

1:41 am

Update your list. you must have gotten to it in the first 2 minutes before I corrected it.

1:41 am

GW... think of Sprite's homeland

thanks hockey... got half of them now!

1:41 am

got it!

1:42 am

thank you hugs

1:42 am

Ha! yes, thanks, BJ.

1:42 am

It always misses the st5/10 arterial inflation device.... It's not part of the enable lexicon and the babblers talked dr_god into inserting it into his list....

1:42 am

Yeah, I have 9/17 F's.

1:44 am

that's the one i figured it was missing, since i know it didn't USED to be accepted as a word. its plural really should be, too, though...

1:45 am

Heh. I have anough trouble with th st5/10 and the qu/u tiles side by side as it is.....

1:48 am

169 words 4.89 1996

Hockey - variant spelling of fe5/18

1:52 am

HG, it's a spelling variation of the f5/18 - offensive odour

1:52 am

so6/27 - same base four letters as before, new ending. When you call someone a so****, it's mean.

1:52 am

Thanks

1:53 am

Maybe I should look for fe5/18 then. Heh.

1:53 am

help with to 7/28 please

1:53 am

1:54 am

mon most people use one every morning.... it eats bread

1:54 am

Well, no. It was just an example. Would you like being called that?

1:55 am

Also, I got the fe/fo one. Thanks for the clue.

1:55 am

Hockey - depends on the context :)

1:55 am

Yeah.

1:55 am

4:41 am

Hi everyone - I've been away for a few days. What's this about the server going down? For how long?

Missy......quexistentialism... ...hahahaha

4:59 am

this is an addictive game. I may have to sign up on with it. Only my second day on it and they happened to both be public holidays! What does the highest scoring word start with?

good gravy, tbear o-0 Now I really do need that java

5:02 am

Oh I can see the benefits of Joelgees brave decision...normal life disappears (what's normal?) when Babble takes hold...

5:02 am

Welcome Kiwi :)

5:04 am

I have two 27 point words what the highest others have? I want to know how much more i need to improve...

5:06 am

kiwi - there is an As8 and St8 - both worth 40 points.

5:06 am

thanks Diane

5:07 am

Do you have to go "pro" to "flip to stats"?

5:08 am

dang it. I though I had it for a moment with astonis...

5:09 am

There's nine 7-letter words that will give you high scores on all of them

5:09 am

kiwi - you are sooooo close to it :)

5:09 am

you are close....vewy...vewy close

5:11 am

Brb gonna nuke some coffee :)

5:12 am

kiwi - think potheads.

5:13 am

Kiwifruta...a lot of people don't worry about points just try (in my case) to get all the words,like today that's 169....when you go pro all this info will be availabubble to you....where are you and what gender? We are overrun with crazy females but plenty of room for more!

5:14 am

I'm in New Zealand, I'm a male

5:15 am

Ok, last two. and I just cannot see them..... se 5/10 and the se 6/18 right after it (but, according to my 'stats', one comes off the Top S and one comes off the Bottom S..... ugh)

5:15 am

Praise the Lord......girls another male to drive crazy....lol

5:17 am

arrggg the readers digest dictionary doesn't have it, I'll need a multi-volume dictionary from now on, or the right to rearrange the letters in the grid to an order more to my preference

5:18 am

momcrunchr...do you have the se4 to post followed by a vowel.....whole word looks unfinished se5

5:19 am

p.s. make that moncr not momcrunchr....kinda scary name otherwise

5:19 am

kiwi this is a great site that helps you find words by putting in the part of the word you have...then it gives you choices http://www.moreword s.com/

5:20 am

Missy that's cheating...bad girl

5:21 am

se 5/10 When you put something down you se* it down + not off but **

5:21 am

Its better than him thumbing through is dictionary That's totally frustrating!

5:22 am

Kiwi...don't do it...monkey type instead...

5:23 am

se 6/18 when you put something down you se* it down + rhymes with nose

5:23 am

yes, Missy, I have those. The ones I need are almost at the bottom of the 'st' list. There are only two words AFTER the ones I need, and they are both st 4's

5:24 am

I get 99% of the words myself...but it helps in a pinch! And I don't think I could complete a puzzle without BrandyJack's list

5:25 am

Okay :) When you "puta" something "downa" on a table you **** it down :) You have that one?

5:26 am

5:29 am

Momcrunchr....how does the happy Done Dance go....only finished about 3 times....(talk too much!!)

5:29 am

bye kiwi :) cya again!

5:29 am

I was thinking the same thing about puta tbear, fortunately in Maori it has a different meaning "to appear"

5:30 am

See you soon kiwi....pro??

5:30 am

maybe Ill spell it with two "t"s next time :)

5:31 am

ooo there will time after work to carry on for an hour or so...

5:32 am

kiwi puzzle is up for 24 hours at a time before it changes so you have time to next in once in a while to do some more of it :)

5:32 am

tbear -- the Happy Done Dance goes, step one, step two, fall over, pass out. :D

5:32 am

5:33 am

Nice one Moncrunchr...!

5:33 am

I have to say, though, I copied BJ's stat list right after the flip .....and at that time, she only showed 168 words. Since then she added an extra "St5" word, which I had found and thought I was nutzo.

5:34 am

Astonies!

5:34 am

monchrunchr...BJ's a fella

5:34 am

here's a word to keep handy in case we ever get it: pneumonoultramicroscopi csilicovolcanoconiosis

5:35 am

OOpsies..... I saw "brandy" and thought "female".... duh.

5:35 am

Missy you forgot the q in the middle.....

5:35 am

whoops I probably wasn't meant to let that word out...

5:35 am

kiwi! We usually don't spell the word out completely in the chat...we just allude to it :)

5:36 am

Someone ban kiwifruta....Dr God...one of those bad people

5:36 am

kiwi, my sweet, i made the same boo-boo when I was new(er).... all of us chatters try to give CLUES only, without actually typing the WORD in the chat :)

5:36 am

7:25 am

evanadine....Santa seems to have visited my house (I wasn't here,I was in Spain) and broken my microwave heating up his mince pie and then broken the vacumn cleaning,hoovering up the crumbs....MEN...no wonder this is a female only household.....

7:25 am

Jera - Happy B-day. Sounds like my kind of dining

7:25 am

Two TVs! Woo... I had CDs, DVDs, books, clothes and a good time : )

7:26 am

7:29 am

7:30 am

My little one is still sleeping... when he wakes up, small flurry of activity to get him ready for a short day at school... then I gotta get this house straight & catch up on my soapies (fortunately I can do both at the same time)!

7:43 am

...mmm sounds like lunch to me! : /

7:43 am

Mmmmm... sounds good, eva!! I'm fasting today to repent of my many sins over the holidays... nothing like a good cleansing fast to shock the body back to its senses...

7:43 am

heh, need the honey to help me over this sore throat...

7:44 am

I'm going to have a slice of xmas cake as soon as I've sorted out my laundry : )

7:45 am

I hate sore throats, especially when teamed up with a cough... my flu was relatively easy... just really tired & achey mostly... got over it just in time for my birthday...

7:45 am

What is your xmas cake like, Lola??

7:46 am

Lo, I hope you're staying off Iz's chocolate money *wags finger of admonishment* ; )

7:46 am

Very boozy with lots of fruit, jera : )

7:47 am

You guys are really making me hungry!! Jera, happy birthday!!!

7:47 am

*hangs head in shame* Yes dear..... : )

7:48 am

I'm nibbling on some peanut butter cookies : )

7:49 am

ty, Jen... what are you doing Thursday? Wanna try again for coffee?

7:49 am

I hope you are dunking them : )

7:50 am

Sounds good, Lola... I like good fruitcake... it has a bad reputaion over here because there are so many icky ones... but when it's done right... yum!

7:50 am

All done 1996 pts today. Lunch is called for I think!

7:50 am

...of course : ) In mint choc coffee : D

7:52 am

mint is a perfectly evil way to ruin perfectly good chocolate, if you ask me... *ick*

7:52 am

Next week would be better for me Jera... hubby is getting ready to go on a business trip for a very long time and we are trying to get him prepped. He leaves on Sunday and I'll be free.

7:53 am

How can you tell how many point there are total?

7:53 am

Sounds good, Jen, we'll shoot for next Monday.

7:53 am

Eva, so is deep frying it and they do that over here... : /

7:53 am

heh, see, THAT sounds tasty...

7:54 am

Jera, I make it myself so I get to put all the things I like in....i.e. sherry, brandy and lots of cherries! : D Anj, just gave Iz one of your candy canes. Think you may have scored major points there babe!

7:54 am

yik! Have you ever tried deep fried & battered mars bar...or creme egg...or pizza for that matter : /

7:55 am

Mmmm, pizza for breakfast sounds really good Anj!

7:55 am

ok - like i've only had oatmeal and water....now i want fried choc chip peanut butter fruit cake ice cream w/ blue berry cream cheese....%)

7:56 am

Hey just threw a container of water over my daughter as she tried to escape me into the street...what a laff...her friends are here and she was being spiky and rude to me so I retaliated...she still can t believe i did that,nor can the guy in the framing shop over the road.....wicked fun....

7:56 am

i havent, but ive heard its all oh so tasty! they do fried twinkies and oreos over here...hehe

7:56 am

I love mint chocolate... the darker the better... it's about the only kind that's worth it to me... IMHO, milk is the ruination of good chocolate... also too much sugar...

7:56 am

did you take my water tbear??

7:57 am

lol Lo, wait until she sees the candy necklaces ; ) Jen, we're talking deep-fried & battered pizza...

7:57 am

tbear!!! That IS wicked!! Rather cold, isn't it?

7:58 am

Hi Ren : )

7:58 am

Was it in an old brown plastic measuring jug that is used for watering plants....then yes..Ren....

7:58 am

Lola... I just hate the green candy fruit... which they love to put in over here... must be cheap...

7:58 am

Anj, I'm originally from the south... EVERYTHING is made better by deep-frying!

7:59 am

tbear, LOL! Which daughter? I'm guessing the younger one??

7:59 am

yes tbear - that's the one!!! was it labeled water?

7:59 am

Guys for those of you with teenagers I wholeheartedly recommend this approach...it worked she's gone back to her grubby,plate ridden den.....yeeeeeee haaaaaa

7:59 am

Daddy - check out the Babblers Anon link at the bottom of Friends of Babble on the right. You will find all the stats for today's grid under the General thread : )

7:59 am

I had deep fried turkey for Thanksgiving once... it was pretty good... but I get sick if there's too much oil/fat in stuff...

7:59 am

good morning/ afternoon all you smiling faces and food network junkies!!!

8:00 am

Bear, i'm betting that's Steph then...

8:00 am

Anj, she loves those babe! You two are going to be firm friends :) Jera, green candy fruit? Eeeeewww!

8:01 am

Whoo-hoo, finished the C's (love those little grey boxes)!

8:05 am

Jera....count me in if I'm still alive......ZZzzzzZzzzZzzZzzZzZ zZzzzz

8:05 am

'bye bear...I would put an umbrella up - you know what your daughters are like... : )

8:05 am

Nevermind, got it!

8:07 am

care to share clue jen? ;)

8:07 am

oh wait, i found it. :)

8:08 am

eva... actually got the clue from way earlier. It means the most rocky.

8:14 am

ty, Jen! What does the ot5 one start with (the ot5 8, I mean)

8:15 am

I don't have any O's yet... I am working backwards. :)

8:17 am

Oh, well, you got a hint? I'm wondering (without using a word in the grid)... wait, okay... there are two 8 letter words in the grid... I have one of them... I want both... geez, am I making more sense to you guys than I am in my head? LOL!

8:17 am

ug Jera? I've got all the Os...which one do you need??

8:18 am

Jera - if it's not one, it's the ot***

8:20 am

*sighs in frustration* I have the ot5, trying not to say it... I want to know the begining of the 8 letter words (already have one)...

8:20 am

ok, so i have the St8...anyone have a hint for the remaining 8?

8:20 am

i gotcha jera -- you wanna know the hints for the REMAINING 8 that you dont already have. :)

8:20 am

sorry, Jera, I misunderstood

8:21 am

ty, evanadine... that's what I've been trying to say for 5 minutes, LOL!

8:21 am

it took me until i was posting my request for hints to understand what you were getting at...heh

8:22 am

Yet another way Babble bungles the brain... :D

8:22 am

....wibble % )

8:23 am

as8/40 sounds like as + another form of awards (not oscars)

8:24 am

tyvm, FMitch!!

8:25 am

My goal was to not check brandyjack's hint list until my final 50, but bugging you guys isn't cool... sorry...

8:26 am

Cheers FMitch...yet another word i'm never destined to use I suspect lol : )

8:26 am

giving and receiving clues is half the fun Jera, don't you dare stop!!!

8:26 am

*feels better* :D

8:26 am

GFI Jera - i've only got 22 to find and I havn't got the stats yet either : D

8:27 am

8:29 am

8:29 am

anyone have clues for the Es?

8:29 am

Well, my time will soon be at an end, my son is stirring in his room...

8:30 am

Eva, the top E is the same as the top left U, just change the start letter : )

8:31 am

Anj you are awesome, so I'm not surprised... I have noticed I'm getting better at this game, finally... maybe memorizing some of the weirder words...

8:31 am

8:43 am

You mean brandyjack's hint list? I am down to 49 w/o looking, but fading fast... been bugging everyone for clues... :D

8:43 am

I am all about grey boxes today, trying to keep track that way...

8:44 am

what are grey boxes

8:44 am

ywoolf, if you are pro you get a stats programme that tells you. If you click on the babblers anon link (last one in friends of babble box) and look under general you will find the second letter list : )

8:44 am

yes jera, l live for branyjacks list!! I am resisting temptation ... must not look

8:44 am

How many S's are there? i still have 15 left to find!!

8:45 am

Lots of clues come up in the chat, even without asking... eavesdropping rules!

8:45 am

eaves dropping? i ws thinking i was more of a stalker, hunting for clues

8:46 am

ok, i have Co7 -- missing all the rest...heh

8:46 am

Sorry, ywoolf... grey box indicates I have found all words there are starting with a certain letter...

8:46 am

All the rest of the C's or the 7's??

8:47 am

7s

8:47 am

Oooh, aknitter... Might Babble Word Hunters are we!! Sounds glamorous...

8:47 am

I have 5/9 of the 7's... ready for help or wanna noodle some more?

8:48 am

help away -- my cold meds are gonna kick in soon + ill be useless after that!

8:48 am

has anyone else tried to put st7 that is a wide cowboy hat? my computer won't take it.

8:49 am

ywoolf, the 'grey boxes' that jera is talking about are part of the stats programme that I mentioned.

8:49 am

Ye gods, 53 S's... who'd a thunk it...

8:49 am

anne -- i think babble probably considers that a proper noun, which it wont accept

8:50 am

anneb, nope, babble doesn't like that one. Try leaving the last two letters off though ;)

8:53 am

9:07 am

I can't believe my son is still sleeping... I need to go wake him up or he'll be up all night... he's still on holiday time (we are night owls by nature) & it's time to get back on schedule!

9:08 am

9:09 am

9:10 am

9:13 am

50 words to go -- time for a babble break!

The log is not updating on my computer very quickly. Thanks Evanading for at7 got it. I need a clue for the first di7/32 the won between the weightloss 6/21 and 4/5 I know it is obvious but i am not finding it.

9:16 am

marc di 7 -- a long way away, replace the a with an e

9:16 am

Marc, try my clue at 8:57

Sorry aknitter I need the di7/36 I was wrong. Yoink your clue didn't help sorry I am so dense.

9:20 am

don't have that one either but i would like it!

9:22 am

It builds from an e5 that is a chemical compound, or can also mean the atmosphere or the heavens

9:23 am

di7/36: add a consonant after the fourth letter of the di6/21 (think gasses).

9:23 am

thanks yoink, got it

yoink are we talking about the same di. The first 4 letter are from the di4/5 is what you go on to lose weight. I am scrambling for the last 3 letters think I tried every combo

9:25 am

Marc, yes it's the same one, for a different clue, it's your di4 with not him but *** on the end

9:26 am

marc, last three letters are the opp of 'him'.

9:26 am

i have 40 words

9:26 am

Great minds Lola... :D

9:27 am

Well done ywoolf! Is this your first game?

9:27 am

yeah it is. 42 now

9:27 am

Yoink, lol! ; )

hello everyone! a little shorter today, i see... : )

9:28 am

Hi temple! : )

9:29 am

Hi Temple :)

Yoink and lola sorry I didn't see the 'h' for the longest time. Slap me on the head

9:33 am

Aww, we don't do slaps round here marc....but you may use the fish if you want, lol! ; )

9:36 am

60 words so far. 100 more to go, no?

9:37 am

got the so7 that means the most so4/7. may I have a clue for the other one

9:37 am

ywoolf, 109. Keep going! : )

9:38 am

is there a clue for the ot 5?

9:38 am

peri, if someone is a nice person you might call them a big so****, pluralise for the 7 :)

9:38 am

Hello again everyone.:-) I'm all done but for 2 words: the 1st ne5/10 (before the bird's home) and the 3rd te5/10 (after 'opposite of exam off'). Anyone care to throw a clue or two my way?

9:39 am

peri... the plural for someone who might be considered overly nice

9:39 am

Peri, if you were so4/7 you might be called a so5 (not in this puzzle) and if there were a group of you you would be a group of so7

9:40 am

Aknitter - ot5 - think 'this, that and the ot***'.

9:40 am

jacula, there is the plural of the exam and then the exam with a vowel on the end...do you have those?

9:40 am

thanks jac, i think i need my ot*** brain!

9:41 am

Jacula, insert another vowel after the first vowel!

9:41 am

that's funny

9:42 am

Thanks Lola. Got it now. (Had the plural written in the wrong place!)

9:43 am

jacs, that's what I thought as I do that all the time! :D

trying to do without bj's list...anyone have any idea how many words there are through the f's?

9:43 am

anyone use the QU yet?

9:44 am

No qu words today : )

9:44 am

thanks everyone, got the 2nd so7

9:44 am

Temple - there are 17 f words (not counting those being used by players). LOL.

9:45 am

anyone have a clue for one of the last di 4/5? I got the one that relates to a telegraph.....

9:45 am

temple, fe x 10, fo x 5 and fr x 2 :)

lol jacs!

9:45 am

LOL jacs! :D

9:45 am

jj555 - last di4/5 - think of speaking Morse Code.

9:46 am

that's the one I do have, but thanks Jacula

9:46 am

Anyone got a clue for my last word, the 1st ne5/10?

9:47 am

Jac, change the first letter of one who believes a god exists

9:48 am

plural for a ne4/4

9:48 am

jacs, ex wren said 'insert another vowel after the first vowel'...that got it for me : )

9:48 am

JJ555 - maybe you want the di4/5 before it? 'To prepare for action. Verb tense of 'dight''. Think of the French for 'speak' or 'say'.

9:49 am

Thanks HotTimale (and Hi! Don't think we've met on here before?) and Lola. I'm all done now.

9:49 am

how many words does everyone have?

9:50 am

Hello, and goodbye. Off to work now.

9:50 am

Snap, jac, I've finished as well - first time in a few days

9:50 am

I have 64 words

9:50 am

Sorry exWren - I thought your clue was for the 'te' word.

9:51 am

Hi & 'Bye - Harp. Have a great day!

9:51 am

Woo! Well done jacs and exwren! : ) daddy, 152 here : )

9:51 am

I have 61, this is my very first time ever playing. SO ADDICTING!! haha

9:51 am

i am missing an so 7, i have the squishiest one can anyone help?

9:52 am

Daddy - 169 words for me and same for ExWren. (We've finished the grid.)

9:52 am

aknitter, think overly nice people : )

9:52 am

i have one 7. it's a piece of clothing

9:52 am

Daddy, this blasted game takes over all.....

9:52 am

lola, that won't help, everyone tells me i am not nice, very mean!!

9:52 am

Hi Jac! I don't believe we've met either... I'm a sporadic Babbler on mundane workdays

9:53 am

I have 59 so far. Daddy, you can quit any time, right? Just like the rest of us? hee hee hee!

9:53 am

Daddy - You have no idea HOW addictive... yet. (Evil cackle.)LOL.

9:53 am

...of which there are thankfully few lately

9:54 am

aknitter, I don't believe that for a second...all babblers are great people! The last four letters could mean binds?

9:55 am

aknitter - If a man cries or likes puppydogs or something, silly people might call him 'a big so****'. The word you seek is the plural of that.

9:55 am

i have 4 7's and an 8

9:56 am

Oh, mustn't forget to say WELL DONE to ExWren. WELL DONE! I'm off to sort my laundry now but will pop back to give clues as and when I can. TTFN all.x

9:57 am

any clues for es6?

9:58 am

thanks for the clues! i've got all my 7's now and can now go do laundry (yumps up and down with excitment)

10:00 am

One last clue before I go... es6 - a type of Ford car or someone who accompanies someone to an event.

10:01 am

thanks Jac... totally missed that one. figured i was done with that corner for good

10:01 am

Wow aknitter, it must be very exciting if it's enough to make you yump up and down! What's a yump? ;)

10:04 am

laundry is definately not exciting i was glad to have found all the 7's. as you can see i am still here and have not yet gone to the laundry room

10:04 am

Looks bad... is the server going down a temporary thing?

10:06 am

Hi sprite! Long time, no see! : ) Not too bad today and yes, I think it will only be down for a few hours : )

10:07 am

Ah, then all is well in my world ;) Good to see you, lola!

10:10 am

You too sprite. Did you and your family have a good festive season?

10:11 am

We had a very quiet and nice couple of celebration days and are now enjoying another week of school holidays. Best wishes to you and yours for this year :D Did you have a good time with your loved ones?

10:13 am

Hi anyone got a clue for the fo 6/30? tyvm

10:14 am

Thanks sprite! We also kept things quiet so it was a nice, relaxing time for a change. Then I went to visit my babble friends for a few days and helped tbear celebrate her birthday. I've had a great time : )

10:15 am

fo6/30 -alternate spelling of the fe5/18

10:15 am

That is so nice! This is becoming more and more a real community, isn't it? I like that :)

10:16 am

thanks vicuna, it was driving me bog eyed!

10:17 am

I know! I really miss my babble friends when I don't play for a while. : )

10:18 am

My pleasure, AnneB! We can't have anyone bog eyed, no, can we? :)

10:19 am

Me too! I even try to play at different times, so I see all of you every now and then ;)

10:23 am

Aww, that's sweet sprite!

10:24 am

:D

10:30 am

Yay! I'm done : ) Anyone want any clues before I get some chores done?

yay lola! : D

10:32 am

I am at 104 and still typing away, so I guess the hard part for me is still to come. Will look up clues in the log when I hit a wall. Thanks and congrats on finishing!

oh lola - i went back to the di 7 clue - having to do with gasses - and i could not get it...

10:34 am

Congrats Lola, I've not entered a word for about an hour, the chat log is innocuous looking enough but the grid is too obvious right now at work!

10:34 am

Okay temple, try this: what we women hate to do (restrict food intake!) plus opp of 'him' : )

10:34 am

Twice your E5/12 would work too.

10:35 am

T-Owl, think of a di6 word for hesitant or indecisive and add an E as the 3rd letter : ) ...Hi All - back for my last word : )

sorry lola! i have that one - it's a 6, then, not a 7- no wonder i could not get it!!!!

10:36 am

LOL @ Yoink.

10:37 am

temple, the di6 is someone who restricts food intake : )

Can't believe I need help on st8 have the first 5 letters like a rock can't get the last 3

oh, yoink! lol

10:38 am

I have to scroll down rapidly every time I post something

10:38 am

Owl - the same as rockiest.

10:38 am

Marc: most rocklike

10:38 am

marc, you need to drop the last letter off the rock word and add four letters that would make it the most.

10:38 am

Oops, my clue was for Marc.

10:39 am

anyone have a clue for ne 6/21?

10:39 am

Woot! I've broken the 300,000 Babblebarrier : D Tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999 : D ...again : /

10:40 am

jj555, add your et5/12 :)

way to go, anj!

10:40 am

jj, umentionable places, as in ne.... regions : )

10:40 am

thanks lola!

10:40 am

Wow Anj!

JJ ne6 either or ne*** nor take out a vowel

10:41 am

It's not like it's a big deal...i'm going to need a lifetime to catch up with everyone else lol : )

10:41 am

Anyone got a clue for fe5/18? I'll have to see if I can get it without looking at the grid

10:42 am

Anj, how do you check total points?

10:42 am

morning y'all... is there a te4/5 in the puzzle? or is that a mistake?

10:43 am

anyone with a clue for no 6/21?

10:43 am

yoink, to have an offensive smell : )

Thanks all now all I have is t's left

10:44 am

Got it Lola, thanks! :) And without even a little look at the grid :D

10:44 am

walnut, there is a te4/5...drop the last two letters of the te6/21 : )

10:44 am

walnutchen: I don't have a te4/5 yet.

no6/21 builds on o5/12

10:45 am

JJ - no6/21 - an informal way of saying 'alternative' or change the 1st vowel in ne6/21 (the regions Anj mentioned).

10:45 am

jj555, it's like the ne6/21, just change the second letter : )

10:45 am

ah got it.. .thanks lola! wowsers that was hard to find.

10:45 am

Hot T, check the player rankings - it's the middle column. There are some scary totals in there : )

10:45 am

got it....thanks all!

10:46 am

You finished then babe? : )

10:47 am

walnut, yeah... sneaky little b*gger that one : )

10:47 am

Lola, yes thanks babe : ) The last bit always seems to take longer ; )

yay anj! : )

10:48 am

LOL! You got any plans for tonight, Anj?

* pouts* i only have 2 te6/18's...

10:49 am

That T4/5 was one of my last ones too, thanks! It was fun again, thanks for the company, guys! :) Have a great day/night/whatever and hugs for all who want them.

10:49 am

temple, do you have exam plus opp of off?

10:50 am

10:54 am

10:57 am

hot, add the exam word : ) Really am going now, 'bye!

10:57 am

10:57 am

10:58 am

In the spirit of 'post your true self' day, which I believe it is(?) - my icon is now a pic Paul and I just took with the webcam. REFRESH!

10:59 am

se6/18 means bristly.

10:59 am

(Like Paul's chin! Time he had a shave. LOL.)

11:07 am

Owl... te6/21 - ball on a pole

11:07 am

Owl, it means to tie down

hey EB! it sure does!

11:07 am

tEMPLE...how you might tie a horse to a gate...

11:08 am

anyone for the ts?

11:08 am

Eastern...hiya how was it all??

11:08 am

the 'ts' is the fly that causes malaria.

ty all for the clues! now i have the te4/5, too!

11:09 am

Thanks for that Jac

11:10 am

tbear/T-Owl...holidays were FABULOUS! I got to spend time w/ 3 out of 4 sisters, 10 nieces/nephews and my parents....tiring but fun!!

11:10 am

eb - it has been ages!!! how was the cold country?

11:10 am

Well, sleeping sickness. Not sure if that's the same thing as malaria but you got the clue anyway. LOL.

11:10 am

Eastern and now back with the Babbling family.....(hug)

good to hear, eb! hi ren : )

11:11 am

Time I, too, went off and did foody things. TTFN.

11:11 am

11:12 am

(Gotta make a 'shoofly pie' for my servant, Ren. LOL.)

11:12 am

bye Jacula! hi rennie! it wasn't cold at all...we had enough snow to ski 1 day, played ice hockey & went walking in the woods the other days...it's been fairly mild tho' - mid 30's for the most part!!

bye jacs - and thanks for the flies : D

11:13 am

yummmy .... i can't wait mistress!!!! 8)

11:13 am

is there a theme for today?? I feel so disjointed!! : )

11:13 am

whoop, got all those sneaky little c's! drives me crazy, having letters stuck there like that, lol.

you two are actually fans of shoofly pie?

11:15 am

Wet-bottom shoo-fly pie is the best! (Showing off my Pennsylvania Dutch roots.)

11:15 am

Hi all! somebody tell me to go to work. before i enter a word. bad smaller, bad smaller.

11:16 am

Eastern,it's supposed to be the 'real you' as requested by cybernan yesterday,but then we got into a screwy conversation as to when was tomorrow around the world so some have and some haven't....take yr pick

11:16 am

hi smaller!! is shoofly pie anything like pecan pie??

go on, smaller...you know you want to.....

11:17 am

smaller...uh... work????

11:17 am

Hey I was only absent for about 12 days and there are loads of new people....what fun....

11:17 am

i've never had shoofly pie.... i'm excited!!!

11:18 am

go to work smaller! finding this a very slow puzzle today!

11:18 am

I don't especially like pecan pie, so I'd say that shoofly isn't like it at all. It's got molasses in it!

11:19 am

cool icon eb! ren-i thought you were going with red, and getting rid of the barbie blond?

11:19 am

Give me a slice...I'm on a seafood diet for 2006,well I have been so far.....ha

11:19 am

qwenski - isn't it sort of gooey like a pecan pie tho'?? I think I've had shoofly before...and I do recall enjoying it!! 8 D

11:20 am

i did go w/ red - refresh

i'd say it's not as sticky - and it's the molasses natural texture, not cooked up corn syrup goop like pecan pie - gwen?

11:22 am

hmmm...still sounds yummy!!

11:22 am

molasses.... ummmmm

11:22 am

ooooo pretty! is it personal photo theme day?

11:22 am

eb - get outta my head!!!

11:22 am

any clues for the of 5/16 and 6/27? i have the one that means a lot of the time

11:23 am

rennie - weeks away can't separate us!! LOL!!

11:24 am

i think it was suppose to be yourself day...but as tbear said - which day???

11:25 am

i guess i do... i have 72 words, and 938 points this is my first time tho

11:25 am

hi Daddy...& welcome!

11:26 am

my problem is that i am not upgraded to babble pro, so i have no clue how many words there are using each letter to know what to look for

11:27 am

hi folks :) ...just survived my first day back at work after two and a half weeks break...

daddy - click on the link to the right - babblers anon- you can get the stats there

11:28 am

Daddy - On the right side under "Friends of Babble" there is a link for "Babblers Anonymous"...it will bring you to another site where the '2nd letter list' is posted & tells you how many words... On Babblers Anonymous - click on "General" and then "Stats Puzzle"...you don't have to be a member of Bab. Anon to see the stats!

hi sherb- i had one vacation day left so i called in sick...

11:28 am

I agree -- it's not really sticky, but more gooey, if you can make that distinction!

11:28 am

sherb!!! glad you made it....8)

11:29 am

thanks alot!

11:29 am

11:40 am

hi everyone. I've been lurking for about 30 minutes.

11:41 am

hi doxy!!!

11:41 am

Jamie's probably received a few messages...

11:41 am

I think Dr. God is going to get an earful from a few of us.

hi munner! how are you?

11:41 am

daddy, I don't know why anyone would knock FSU!!

11:42 am

Hi Munner...

11:42 am

looks like Dr. God has already worked his magic. Thank you, Dr! I'm guessing he got several emails about this one.

11:42 am

Hate to say hi and bye, but I have 2 baby quilt to finish today. I have the shower on saturday and really need to get these done. Will be back later today.

11:43 am

way to go, Jamie - faster than a speeding bullet!!!

11:43 am

thank you Dr. God. :)

11:43 am

Penn State anyone?

11:43 am

11:44 am

hi Doxy - see you later :) hi Munner :)

11:44 am

11:45 am

11:46 am

shorty - I believe your team won yesterday?? congrats!

11:47 am

11:47 am

i thought so, harp...

11:47 am

yes it was a good game and thank you

11:48 am

harp - well, I think taser's a word too, but ...

11:50 am

HNY templeowl

11:50 am

LeslieAnn, I am showing my Seminole pride for tonight's game.

11:50 am

last i heard it was be yourself day

11:50 am

sherb, we're still on seasonal until after the 6th

11:51 am

according to babbler's list that is - if people are staging an icon coup, i don't know anything about it... :)

11:51 am

ok, well i will support illini basketball then (we'll not talk about football....)

got to go - will come back later to finish. jen, are you still here?

11:53 am

hi sherb!

11:53 am

bye all - BBL to finish - happy babbling!

11:54 am

ah... the happiness of only 5 re's in the grid :)

11:54 am

EB -- i think mamabear + i had the same one yesterday...heh... so today is unofficially "true you" day, eh? lets see if im coherent enough to work that one out...

11:54 am

Temple, I'm still here!

11:56 am

bye T-Owl!

11:58 am

lamback, what you are doing is called cyberstalking and it's illegal.

11:59 am

Jen, do you know this person?

11:59 am

hurshy, absolutely not. I have already alerted Jamie.

12:00 pm

actually what he is doing isnt illegal.....its just rude

12:00 pm

Jen - ditto...

12:00 pm

me too... Iamback - what you're doing is offensive and illegal

12:00 pm

yeah, i sent him an email too - to make sure it isn't another of my students.

12:01 pm

ignorant and sad really

Going with the unofficial icon theme of the day... this is pretty old (my hair is no longer pink and I also have acquired a lip piercing), but I don't have photoshop to crop/resize anything current.

12:02 pm

well stinker! i cant get my internet to refresh, so i cant see my new icon -- anywho, is it me now??

12:02 pm

eva - indeed it is! nice to 'see' you!

12:02 pm

yep its you

12:03 pm

it's you, Eva - nice picture :)

12:03 pm

hi running... you must be 'new'...welcome!

12:03 pm

hey Eva...good look

12:03 pm

heh, wish i could see me! icons usually update themselves when im here at work...otherwise i can clean out my cookies + it usually works...but not working today... c'est la vie!

I'm not new, just forgotten. ;) I've been playing since probably fall of 2004... I just had to vanish for awhile because my job was eating my entire life.

12:04 pm

we see you evanadine 8)

12:04 pm

are the mean people gone?

12:04 pm

hi running! I remember you :D:D

12:05 pm

no way to tell smaller... but hope so

12:05 pm

i don't know...i hit off when mean people come on....

12:05 pm

running - well then, you''ve been playing much longer than I!! Welcome back!!

12:05 pm

well, my icon photo was taken just last week...i WAS posing with a horse...hehe

12:05 pm

runningforhome.....never forgotten,just misplaced...lol

12:06 pm

I don't respond in the chat to the meanies, but usually send a note to Dr_God when I can!

12:07 pm

anyone have clues for the first (or maybe 2nd--not the emailbox) se 4/4, first se 5/10, and/or se 6/18? i'm paddleless in the proverbial creek

12:07 pm

mine to evanadine - as you can tell - i was talking and laughing

I remember you too, Atalante!

12:07 pm

welcome back :)

12:08 pm

so what does Dr. God do to the meanies? there was a funny Robin Williams bit where he was talking about British policeman tactics since not having guns "STOP.....or I'll say stop again."

12:08 pm

After the scary things being said to me, there's no way in *ell I will be posting my "real me" pic. Sorry everyone!

12:08 pm

ooh HotTimale... nice picture ;)

12:08 pm

renfield -- guess im not seeing your new one either -- i see hippie barbie...heh

12:09 pm

smaller - he emailed me to say they'd been 'smoted' - the wrath of God!!!

12:09 pm

ty sherb... lol... only one i have here, that's my work ID pic

12:09 pm

Hi Folks! Hope everyone is having a Happy New Year! I don't have a pic of just me, so this is me & my boys :)

12:10 pm

hi bugzy!

12:10 pm

why don't we get Jamie to put a warning....underneath the Sole Possession-Free Trial Box...that anyone using offensive language will be ignored completely...we can then just gently direct them to the box..they would have to feel pretty soft...

12:10 pm

hi Bugzy - beautiful family :)

12:11 pm

Sherb - wow mysterious power! That's even better than just power. Go Dr. God, Go! Bugzy - cute!

12:11 pm

Ren, Please tell me to go to work. I only have 2 words anyway.

12:11 pm

very nice pic Hot Timeale

12:12 pm

and yay, it's not someone from my school! see, i found out in the earlier incident that the whole school has one IP address, so if Dr_G blocks one person from chatting he blocks us all. hence my anxiety.

12:12 pm

Hi EB! Thanks Sherb + Smaller - It's so cool to "see" everyone :)

12:12 pm

smaller - go to work (you always Babble from there, anyway...)

12:12 pm

12:12 pm

12:13 pm

i am amazed that y'all feel comfortable posting your pics with people like that out there...

12:13 pm

12:47 pm

12:48 pm

oh thats right... you are on AC today, huh? what exactly is that anyway

12:48 pm

I posted my pic a few weeks back, on Pics Day. I don't have it on my sister's laptop though.

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

12:51 pm

Babs - I believe Chanukkah is over tonight (but I'm not certain)...

12:52 pm

yeah...I do it in the Southford Medical Center off of Rt 67. Alicia does it across from the hospital (Hope Center) and in Shelton by OccMed.

12:52 pm

Richplaydo...can't look at your name without smelling playdoh from childhood...very strange

12:53 pm

lol, glad i inspire tbear!

12:53 pm

cybernan - no6/21 is the same as ne6/21, with a different 2nd vowel

12:53 pm

*refresh* can you see anything? I've only got a black square....

12:54 pm

st5/10? (2nd one)

12:54 pm

12:55 pm

Help........Babbler's face has disappeared!

12:55 pm

heh, i dont have No6 or Ne6...

12:55 pm

I'm really having trouble with st 5/10. It's one of the 3 in the middle. Can anyone give me a hint please?

12:55 pm

alright Rich....let me go do some work then now...see ya later

12:55 pm

Babs - I can only see the black square...

12:56 pm

Hi Eastern! -- great photo!

12:56 pm

yeah i should prolly hit the gym or something... but im a lazy bum!

12:56 pm

I think the st5/10 you need is the one I need.

12:56 pm

Hi Eva ----- you're all so young!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:56 pm

eva - the ne 6 & no 6 is similar to the horse te 6...

12:57 pm

heh, im just a wee one. :)

12:57 pm

thanks EB -- got it as soon as you said that. :)

12:59 pm

There are so many st5/10's... the one you drink beer from, the clerical worker, the medical device, the plural of 'don't edit it', a length of time, a rock... any of these help??

12:59 pm

Can anyone give clues for the 3 st5/10's in the middle? I have two, but don't know which one I'm missing. I have the one that is plural of the one before it and the one that can become plural to the one after it.

12:59 pm

st 5/10: plural of st 4/4 (st +french and) st 5/10: sores in the eyes, or pigpens st 5/10: stretches of activity

12:59 pm

Thank you cybernan.

1:00 pm

I've got the st 5/10- nullifies and st 5/10- sandpiper. Is that what you have Hockeyguy?

1:01 pm

I'd have to check their definations. I'm only missing one and it's my last word.

1:01 pm

Got it cybernan, thanks!

1:02 pm

2 to go, but really must attend to my messy kitchen first -- talk to you later.

bye cyber!

1:03 pm

I'm just a tad late with my new icon, but this is yesterdays photo with my great grandson Aiden

1:03 pm

Hi ExWren!

1:05 pm

I finished the grid about three hours ago, but can't stay away. I am used to battling half way through the night!

Babs - I see a pict with you and I believe your niece??

1:06 pm

Babbler - how about an 80's movie day...?

hi movieman!

1:07 pm

1:08 pm

St 5/10 would be a word that begins with the letters "ST", is 5 letters long, and worth 10 points.

ywoolf - the first 2 letters of the word, the number of letters in the word, the total point value of the word

1:09 pm

Hi everyone :)

1:09 pm

ywoolf - the letters are the first two letters of the word, the first number is the length of the word, and the second number is the points value of the word....

1:18 pm

Yeah, I have that one.

1:18 pm

The 6th is the same as that one, change the vowel.

1:19 pm

No, I'm wrong, the 6th is the plural of where pigs live

1:20 pm

Yeah, I just got that. Oddly enought I never tried looking off of that S. Thanks for the help. I can no go eat without thinking about this dreaded game.

1:20 pm

You're welcome... just finished the st's myself!

1:23 pm

1:25 pm

Do any words use Qu? Doe any words use rheo?

tbear - no idea...I've never had an ear infection...and I wouldn't want to make recommendations since I have little (no!) medical experience!! : )

Haha, movieman, should I take that as a compliment?

bye Babs!!

1:26 pm

1:41 pm

Hail and hello to all.... I am need to finish las 28 words and take a break.... I am trying to publish a website and am very frustrated... using ms publisher but need a better and easy program... any ideas.....??

I read back to the posts from a while back for clues on words and was completely shocked. I don't mind fun and playful but that was down right perverted...

1:42 pm

bye smaller, bye bugz!

1:42 pm

I am now afraid to scroll back.... LOL

1:43 pm

blaze... MS frontpage is great for beginners, Adobe/Macromedia Dreamweaver is a bit more advanced

1:43 pm

Hello again peps anymore mean people?

1:43 pm

Hi Bugzy!

DreamWeaver Blaze! It is my best friend when it comes to web page design.

1:43 pm

Hot T thank you

1:44 pm

about how much do these programs cost..??

1:44 pm

quite welcome... i do all my design work in dreamweaver and flash

1:44 pm

Hey shorty - I think they have all been 'smoted' (at least for now!)

1:45 pm

sweet!

1:45 pm

Frontpage comes with MS Office Premium... dreamweaver is around $400

1:47 pm

trial versions of dreamweaver are occasionally available, or if you stay beneath the radar, i'm sure you could find a copy on Limewire

1:49 pm

Hot T that is good .... I will also try my brother and inlaws to see what they have... the actual set up I can do in publisher.... it is the uploading to get it all working... I have a great file transfer program... I am just misssing something to make it all work....

4:33 pm

TY AnneB... sorry I can't help on the as

4:35 pm

We took our tree out this morning to set him free... he was not very happy in the dry heat... I told my husband to take him out before he left to join us in Georgia, but he forgot... so poor tree was here all week, alone & thirsty & hot...

4:36 pm

Actually, he's not completely free, we will plant him later, maybe for Imbolc... waiting for Arbor doesn't seem to work very well, they get rootbound in the pot it seems...

4:40 pm

Running, you're missing 2 x so7/40 - both to do with opposite of hard : )

running - both are so...building off your so 4/7

4:41 pm

runningforhome - they are both so7/40. one means the snuggliest and the other means people who are very kind and easygoing. both words are similar.

Thanks, you guys... both seem so obvious now!

tBear, it's re plus a te5/10 for exams : ) EB, just plenty of social and no regular sleep over the last 10 days or so. Not much in the way of drink which with the benefit of hindsight is just as well

4:52 pm

4:53 pm

Eastern Anj is only SO tired from cuddling and kissing too much......I have the evidence!!

Anj - I was with my family...sleeping on a couch with little ones waking up early to play...I can't resist their big blue eyes!! I could use a good 3 days of sleep to catch up! (drat work getting in the way tho'!)

4:54 pm

Yes, that's my black cat Joshie (the picture is a bit old)

ooo...did some of the Babblers get together?? How fun!!

4:54 pm

Anj is a Love Bunny....no sympathy for him girls.....ROFLMAO

5:19 pm

5:19 pm

DI6 - someone who watches what s/he eats, counts calories, eschews carbs....

5:19 pm

nevermind, found the fo5 another plural that I amost missed

5:20 pm

FO5 - pl of the FO4/7 - kinds of type, esp. on the computer, Arial, Times New Roman....

5:20 pm

Charm, thanks, don't know whyI didn't see that one, I had the base word

5:20 pm

Lola - if Anj can 'fix' pictures, I wonder if he can 'fix' my mirrors so I look slimmer?:-)

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

Well I was looking for the es charm lol but ty tbear for the clue! I'm also looking for either the 1st or 2nd fe 5&6s I have the boxing one.

5:22 pm

Thanks for that Lola...was beginning to worry....can't see me knitting just yet...

5:22 pm

FE5/16 - 'small mongrel dog." Change the next to last consonant from your boxing term. FE6 is pl.

5:23 pm

ruthy - 4th st/10 is the rear of a ship or to be strict. 7th st/10 is a spell of duty or activity, do your st***. Think 'hair dye' or 'paint colour' for the end of the word.

5:24 pm

Jacula...I wouldn't recommend those mirrors,it's always such a shock when i stay with someone else and see the real me.....aikkkkkkk

5:24 pm

5:26 pm

thanks jacula still have one st 5/10 missing just cant figure which one

5:27 pm

fo6/30 is a variation on the fe5/18 : )

5:27 pm

ruthy think of a little rock or pebble.

5:28 pm

aknitter.....whoops.....NO.... I meant I wouldn't have time with all the partying etc.......wiping brow..phew!!!

5:28 pm

thanks shalee i have that one its doing my head in now

5:28 pm

aknitter! [*whispers to tbear* Hide, I'll distract her!] Where is your handbag?? : )

5:29 pm

aknitter! Haven't seen you for ages! I could do with someone to knit up all the wool I've bought since all the grandchildren arrived! Did loads when i was younger but arthritic hands make it a long job for me and I once started the front of an age 2 cardigan and then knitted the other side in age 8 - gave up then!!

5:29 pm

ha ha! knitter's love to party. just what do you think i do with all my yarn?? LOL

5:30 pm

Actually knitting is very theraputic.....did it all thru my pregnancies, why i don't know even the cats didn't want to sleep on the end results....but it was fun.

5:31 pm

snowy you have great wool in your part of the world, i'd love to drop by and shop! Are your girl scouts participating in the world postcard exchange? mine are

5:31 pm

ello sha

5:32 pm

5:32 pm

Gosh, it's taking Anj a long time to fix my photo : / lol!

5:33 pm

ruthy, how about the glass that you put beer into

5:33 pm

im new to this puzzle today any clues to the big words

5:34 pm

Oh yeah, when does Dr Who return to the airwaves?

5:34 pm

Still haven't got round to looking at whats on offer yet aknitter - had a very busy year personally last year & tended to keep everything unit based - will venture out into the wide world a bit this year hopefully. We did take part in a 3 tree plantings about 10 miles away but thats as far as we got. Liked the planting tho' It's will be nice for the girls to take their children to in years to come.

5:34 pm

which ones would you linke fingers?

5:35 pm

can anyone give me a clue for the st 5/10 after the st 5/10 which is spell of duty or activity

5:35 pm

it doesnt matter to me

5:35 pm

The st5/10s: 1. Large beer mug with lid. 2. Narrow, small. (Sounds like a sort of typist.) 3. Rod or catheter inserted into the body. 4. Rear of a ship. 5. Pl. of st4/4 'leave as it was before'. A nullifying proffing term. 6. Pigs' homes. 7. Session or tour of some kind of duty. 8. Ermine. Ferret-like aminal. 9. Small rock, or surname of Hollywood's famously knickerless Sharon.

5:35 pm

ruthy do you have the animal? Like an ermine

5:36 pm

*5. Meant 'proofing' term.

5:37 pm

i can not figure out the ermine clue

5:37 pm

AKnitter - 'ermine' is the white coat that the st5/10 in question sports in winter.

5:38 pm

aknitter, add what you could eat for breakfast : )

5:38 pm

the ermine one is an anagram of the to5 you may have for breakfast

5:38 pm

snap Lola ! lol

5:40 pm

Will you lot stop talking about lightly browned bread? I'm a di6/21 at present.

5:40 pm

5:40 pm

oh why was that so hard??? Guess if i can't turn it into yarn ..... ty you all for your assistance

5:41 pm

LOL! I was talking about quaker oa**! : )

5:41 pm

Ruthy - which one did it turn out to be? Don't type the word! LOL.

5:41 pm

Lol Jacula - I'll have to start soon or Majorca will have its' 1st whale sightings during july for years!

5:42 pm

Lol Snowy. It's Crete in July that's spurring me on!

5:43 pm

LOL Lola! Great minds can't think as alike as I thought!

5:43 pm

Lola, it's in cyberspace as I type... pesky RAM has jammed up because of CivIII : /

5:44 pm

i am stuck on 2 fe's the 4/7 between the 5/16's and the last 4/7

5:44 pm

Omigod! Lola's jammed Anj's RAM. ROFLOL.

5:44 pm

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

5:45 pm

lol Jac, wouldn't be the first time... : D

5:45 pm

Jacs! Behave!!! : D lol Thanks babe, but it won't let me save it as a jpeg :/

5:48 pm

Lo, detach it save it to wherever you do. Then right click on the image and select edit. It should open in paint (or something like that) Then file/save as and change the file type to jpeg. Easy as pie... Except I sent it as a jpeg so you shouldn't have to change it : /

5:48 pm

guess whos baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

5:50 pm

Cooo-eeee!

5:50 pm

Hi evanadine - nice to see you!

5:51 pm

nice to see myself...heh....couldnt get it to refresh at work earlier!

5:51 pm

does anyone know, is the fo 6/27 related to the fo 5/16

5:52 pm

Lola/Anj - I've got one photo taken on webcam that's troublesome like that. Although done as a jpeg it refused to be one. Still have no idea why.

5:52 pm

the Fo 5/16 i have is a plural of an Fo 4/7

5:53 pm

Thanks babe, but it's come through as a dat file and I can't even open it : /

5:53 pm

no aknitter - its what you'd do for a child that needs care & can't have it in its own home

5:53 pm

hunting for the fo 6/27

5:54 pm

fo6/27 is a type of Aussie beer or what some people do rather than adopting children. There was a Dr of that name who went to Gloucester, fell in a puddle right up to his middle and never was seen again.

5:54 pm

Hi evaN! : )

5:54 pm

hola lola lady. :D

5:55 pm

Lola - would you like Anj to send me the pic to see if the same thing happens?

5:55 pm

Hi Evanadine.:-)

5:56 pm

hiya jacula :)

5:56 pm

the beer clue gave it away --- pours a glass, anyone want one? I've got pretzels too

5:57 pm

Jacula just read the log after making a nice cappuchino and most of it got spat at the screen.......5.44......after spurting coffee I laughed out loud raucously and both my kids came to see what the heck?!!! Very good

5:59 pm

aknitter I recovering from a very large medicinal dose of mulled wine thankyou - but go ahead!

6:00 pm

Lo, I've tried again and this time the mail attachment deffo says jpeg : )

6:00 pm

ooh love mulled wine

6:02 pm

You're a star babe! This time it's a jpeg : ) xxx Give me a minute to get changed....

woo hoo! DONE!

THE TS THREW ME FOR A LOOP....

6:02 pm

Okay, refresh for lola : )

6:03 pm

me too - my fave Christmas drink this year. It's normally a vodka & tonic or Campari or Harvey Wallbanger for me or indeed a big strong red wine - but I've been drinking this all over the holiday and as few of my friends like it - its mine all mine!

see ya'll later

6:04 pm

Hi all -- finished earlier, just dropping in to see if any help is needed before the grid shuts down in a couple of hours.

6:04 pm

snowy is the mulled wine warm? that's how i like it

6:04 pm

Bye bunnyvicious and congrats

6:05 pm

Anj...can Bitmaps be changed into jpegs....

6:05 pm

a very glamerous photo, bunny!

6:06 pm

LOLA! Lovely to see you at last.:-) Hi Cybernan. TBear - sorry about your coffee-covered screen. Brings a whole new meaning to 'having jam on it', doesn't it? Tee, hee.

6:06 pm

tBear, just right click on a bitmap, edit in paint and resave as a jpeg works for me : )

6:07 pm

my spelling is shot today!

6:07 pm

Mulled wine. I like it warm with lots of slices of orange and lemon in it. I heat it up with the fruit and some cloves in it.

6:07 pm

....as long as the coffee missed the keyboard!

6:09 pm

Hi there Cybernan!!! Got a late start, but hopefully I can finish b/4 we shut down. Any help w/the first ne 5/10?

6:09 pm

Hey Lo, nice hat ; )

6:09 pm

I drink it warm - much more comforting- just wondering if I can fit in another glass before bed! I could always be like my mother in law & take the Rennies before the meal!

6:10 pm

Nice to see so many Babblers putting in a personal appearance here today. We should do it more often!

6:10 pm

Oops!!! Nevermind, I found it!!

6:10 pm

ne 5/10: ne + first person singular + abbrev. for the "road" where you live.

6:10 pm

hi everyone! ok, here's Cathy :) admittedly, the pic is a about 3 years old but since I haven't taught my cat how to use the camera, it was the best I could do on short notice :) Really cool to see everyone's snapshots!

6:10 pm

I think so too, Jacula

6:11 pm

Hi Cathy

6:11 pm

heh, i vanished for a few! but now im back...nice to SEE you lola. ;)

6:11 pm

Hi Cathy. Nice to see you!

6:12 pm

I prefer the dark & blurry enigmatic look personally, lol : )

6:13 pm

OOOOooo I just changed a bitmap into a jpeg...yee haa now showing just home from the pub face...haha

6:13 pm

Anj - if you mean my pic it's either the fault of the webcam or the bad lighting in here.

6:13 pm

so we noticed, Anj! :)

6:13 pm

so 5/10 anyone? the last one

6:14 pm

hi cybernan & jacula -- good to see you guys, too. Anj -- I was tempted to use a pic where my face is mostly obliterated by the cat, but thought that might be even scarier to some LOL

6:14 pm

LOL TBear. You do look to be lurching a bit there.:-)

6:15 pm

lol, thanks babe! ; ) Thanks evaN, it's nice to put faces to names, isn't it? : )

6:15 pm

Last so5/10 is pl. of the so4/4 before it. Think of the cakes you have for a Devon Cream Tea and take the cee out of it.

6:16 pm

most definitely! for months now, ive pictured you as a tiny marilyn monroe! ;)

6:16 pm

I am Jacula I am....but only when I get home.....!

6:16 pm

good evening

6:17 pm

oh i just love devon creme, can't get it in this country, we are so uncivilized!!

6:17 pm

Hi evanonut - how are you?

6:17 pm

6:17 pm

evaN, LOL! tbear, nice! : )

6:18 pm

6:18 pm

Evanout - there's only one 'th' word and once you've got it you'll be through with the 'ths'.

6:18 pm

Cathy, nice pic... can I borrow the cat? It might improve mine lol : )

6:18 pm

Evanonut....that's because Lola had a MM icon when she first joined...I thought so too...She much more gorgeous and gamine......

6:19 pm

Anj - you look fine to me.

6:19 pm

Hey Babbler -- much better than a black square!

6:20 pm

But a little blurry Anj....infact just how I always see you...hahhahhahhahhahhhaha

6:20 pm

oops, right you are jacula, read my list wrong, thanks for saving me from...whatever you saved me from.

6:21 pm

6:21 pm

Anj -- good one! Actually, you and the cat (Scotch) would probably get along famously :)

6:22 pm

Only four more to go. Hopefully.....I find them b/4 shut off time..... :-P

6:22 pm

bye temple

6:35 pm

wow, you guys are fiesty tonight, i go look for a few words, and, well...

6:35 pm

Aw tbear! *gives tbear big hug, winks back and taps her nose'*

6:35 pm

definately Anj! Its just that if you're tall the distribution is easier! My mother made me marry a 6ft man as she was frightened that legs were being bred out of our family - my dad was only 5'4 on tiop toe! LOL interestingly my daughter has married a 6ft 5 man so theres hope!

6:35 pm

di 7/32: di + curve + camping gear

6:36 pm

snowy...LOL!!! : D

6:36 pm

thank you cybernan.

6:36 pm

hi snowy - that one cracked me up ! LOL

6:36 pm

di7/32 - a poetic way of saying ' to swell out or expand from or as if from internal pressure.' Sounds a bit far off.

di7/36?

6:37 pm

Snowy. ROFLOL.

6:37 pm

Snowy, you're not wrong there. All my mum's side of the family clock in on the low 5s and the earlier generation were late 4s : / I'm 5'9" so there's hope...

6:38 pm

Not to worry, Snowy -- each generation is getting taller. I'm 5'8, my daughter is 5'10 and my 15 year old granddaughter is 6'0!

6:38 pm

di7/36 - the former Princess of Wales + et5/12 (gas)

6:39 pm

ty Cathy nice to see you in the flesh - so to speak! Every word is true I promise LOL!!

6:39 pm

Anj - you're the same height as my son. (His Dad's 6'.)

6:39 pm

hmm, i'm the only one shooting for shorter in my family. i'm 5-3, me moms 5-5. how'd i get ripped.

6:39 pm

14 words left, all Ses and Ts, im afraid!

6:40 pm

i can't get any of the puzzle done because I'm giggling at all your posts!

6:40 pm

anj - you're the same height as me

6:40 pm

...of course, if someone's drawn the short stop, there's always the milkman ; )

6:40 pm

I'd love to be tall. CATHBs husband is 6'4 and she's around 5'5 or 6 - He used to stand me on a chair to dance with me! - he can't lift me now tho'!

6:40 pm

Nothing wrong with being short - you get rained on last! Helps to have a tall partner though - he can reach the high stuff and you can save him bending down for the low stuff.

6:41 pm

Anyone have a clue for to 6/21? quickly, I only have 19 minutes before Dr. God pulls the plug!

6:41 pm

well that and the fact I can't seem to find any words. . . .

6:41 pm

Ooh! What I put sounded a bit rude. Wasn't meant to!

6:41 pm

hi evanadine - wish I could tell you the S's and T's were easy, but can't say that was my experience :)

6:41 pm

It's a good height Ren : )

6:41 pm

to 6/21: t+ not this one but the ot 5/12

6:42 pm

sorry jac, i disagree, the tall partner is a draw back, when it comes to dancing anyway

6:42 pm

snowy - i always wanted to be smaller...all the guys were shorter than me

6:42 pm

LOl Jacula you're right tho' Hubby v. useful in Tesco's & I'm short enough to whip his wallet to pay!

6:43 pm

so 5/16 anyone?

6:43 pm

right - 1st pick for volley ball, basketball...base ball center field

ren - i always wanted to be taller...and blond and blue eyed and straight haired - LOL : D

6:43 pm

Was just thinking the same thing, Ren ... I'm also 5'9" Not so bad now, but was a real bummer being the "tall girl in school" :)

6:43 pm

Evanout - re the dancing. I don't think small men with tall dancing partners would agree. ;-) I'm trying to persuade Paul to join a dancing class for our exercise regime. I'd hoped he'd been inspired by the Come Dancing series. I've always wanted to do the Tango with a rose between my teeth. No sense of rhythm though...:-(

6:44 pm

so 5/16: plural of so 4/7

6:44 pm

thanks. never heard of it!

6:44 pm

72, i always wanted a smaller butt...still do

6:44 pm

lulu...no way!!!

6:44 pm

I think we'd all like to change something about us Renfeld - I'd love your curls and your height! We've only got what was dished out in the end tho'. I want a very fast metabolism & a dishwasher for Christmas next year LOL

6:45 pm

confession...yes, sometimes those spandex tiger prints look better when not distorted.

6:45 pm

thanks cyber, can't believe I missed that one, I was going nuts

6:45 pm

good point, snowy. can't say I've ever met anyone who didn't want to change something about themselves :)

6:45 pm

Harp -- you still have over an hour -- it's only 6:39 CT

6:46 pm

as8/40 & at7/28 anyone? ty! :)

6:46 pm

lol Maggiegirl -I've sort of given up on the words altogether! Lovely cuddly pic!

6:46 pm

and lulu wanna be, you look hot enough to be lula's back up, honest.

* ice tea comes outof nose* evanonut.!

6:46 pm

Super tired and ear aching....see you lovely funny people tomorrow....nite nite xxx

6:46 pm

Renfield - I spend a fortune on shaggy perms from the 70s to the early 90s. My hair was always naturally dead straight. Now I'm older and want it to be straight it's started to go curly! Such is life! I think your hair's lovely, btw.

6:47 pm

It's time for me to get some sleep. Good night everyone, see you all tomorrow : ) Anj, you got mail babe. Sweet dreams (((xxx))) : )

6:52 pm

I wonder how loose Dr. G's couple of hours are and if there will be a new grid at the usual time?

6:53 pm

woot! finally done w/ all the vowel-starting words! thanks! :)

6:53 pm

6:53 pm

6:53 pm

i'll never make it

6:53 pm

Congrats efor!!!!!!!!

6:54 pm

cybernan -- I'm never up to catch the start of a new grid, so don't know what his track record is on timing :)

6:55 pm

If I lived on the east coast, I wouldn't be up at that hour either, but the usual flip time here is 10:00 pm

re6 & re7?

6:56 pm

T-Owl, take an exam(s) again for both : )

6:56 pm

The grid's usually been up about 5 hours by the time I come into it in the mornings. Except on night shift nights. LOL.

6:56 pm

temple, to take a quiz again and plural

6:57 pm

re 6 & 7: te 4/4 again, and plural

6:58 pm

Cybernan -- Just looked at your profile and saw you're in BC. Only been there once -- stayed in Victoria a few days and then did the Alaska cruise out of Vancouver. But it was an absolutely GORGEOUS place and one I'd love to revisit once I retire !

6:58 pm

What happens at changeover then?? Only been near there once at the end of a pre-Pro option 431 mega-grid...

6:59 pm

Vancouver Island is a beautiful spot. I live in the southern interior in the Okanagan Valley -- Canada's answer to Napa

6:59 pm

Anj - everything just kinda shimmers and then the new grid appears.

7:00 pm

P's watching Army of Darkness (one of The Evil Dead series) again. I really must sit down and watch that right through on night. It looks really funny.

ty anj - perhaps mental block because school begins on friday?

7:01 pm

Got to get supper on --- back at the flip, just in case!

7:01 pm

Cybernan -- Sounds lovely. One of the prettiest places we saw was Bouchart (sp?) Gardens. Wow, just takes your breath away!

7:01 pm

T-Owl, sounds like you're in denial lol : ) Jac, that's a Bruce Campbell special : ) It's well funny

7:02 pm

its 801 nothings happening

7:02 pm

Yes -- hard to believe now that it was once an old quarry.

7:02 pm

You have 0word(s) left to find w00t! been a while since ive seen that!!

7:02 pm

7:59 pm

hi and bye snowy

8:03 pm

still no 8 ltr words... :(

8:10 pm

cathy would u like a clue to the 8's?

i would...

8:12 pm

lol...oops...sorry <:) HI EVERYONE!!!!

8:13 pm

sure!!! A clue would be great!!! thanks mon!!!

8:14 pm

Does anyone have a list of the 7's they'd be willing to share?

8:14 pm

st 8: if you were walking down a path and it had the MOST rocks and pebbles you'd ever seen, you say it was The ST****** path ever (rockiest) as8: if you have the as 7/28, add the squiggly letter in @ 2nd place. (if not, let me know, i'll try a diff clue)

dont's have the as7

8:16 pm

me neither...

8:18 pm

Ok, from the st8 clue I just gave..... remove the LAST letter. Now stick the "a" on the beginning. :)

8:18 pm

it's at 7/28, not as

8:19 pm

lemme guess -- anj and lola have escaped, right?

8:20 pm

as also bowers!!!

8:21 pm

thanx so much mon

thx for the 8's...i think i might call it quits...

8:24 pm

viki, we are working on both 'as' words and 'at' words. If u 'work backwards' and get your as8, you'll have an at7 too :) anybody need anything else?

8:24 pm

45 left...but i might have to say g'nite too.

8:25 pm

You guys are more discliplined than me. I stayed up til 4:30 am finishing..... (duh!)

8:25 pm

so is there an as7/28 then?

good evening everyone. any clue on the so 5/16?

8:27 pm

no viki, there is an at7..... same as 'as8' without the 's' in the 2nd position :)

8:27 pm

your previous posts said as7/28... now I'm confused :)

8:27 pm

10:30 here...well...almost... got a little one to get up in the a.m.. for school so.... well...i think i'm off..thank for yer help MON!!!

8:29 pm

OH>>>btw... just remove the "s" from yer as 8/40

8:29 pm

the first one that is... nitenite

8:29 pm

misstear-oddly enough the so5/16 is the plural of the oppostie of h___

8:29 pm

In case any of you newer Babblers haven't found it yet, there is link to clues/stats here: On the right side of the page under 'Friends of Babble', at the bottom of that list click 'Babblers Anonymous'. Then click GENERAL, then " Stats Puzzle 1015".... This should help!

8:32 pm

my fault, i orig. should have said at7, not as7

Eva, what is h___? h4? h5?

8:34 pm

sorry-the h isn't in the puzzle. I was jsut trying to make it a little less obvious, but was confusing instead. The opposite of hard has a plural - who knew?!

Thanks! I had to many of opposite of hard I was getting lost in them. Just 8 to go...

8:36 pm

i cannot get the es word

8:36 pm

I still have 42 to go so will probably not finish. But do you have a list of all the 7's you could share (point counts and lengths)?

8:37 pm

Bamis, I couldn't get a date to the party so I I hired a paid ES_____.

Coming right up!

8:38 pm

omg what a dummy i am thank you sooooooooooo much!

8:39 pm

I should just get brandyjacks second letter list and work off of that but am much too tired and achey so am just doing what I can do without a whole lot of stress- thanks for the helping hand!

at 7/28 co 7/32 di 7/36 di 7/32 re 7/28 so 7/40 so 7/40 to 7/28 to 7/28

8:42 pm

Thanks! Now I need to go silent for a few minutes while I hunt.

8:45 pm

Okay, I'm missing the di7/36 and one of the so7/40's. Any clues? I have the so7/40 from the unhard root. The most unhard one.

the other so is from the same root

di 7 = meal plan + female pronoun

8:49 pm

Thans so much!!! The 7's are done.

8:50 pm

36 left. It's always hard to walk away when it's this close, but my body is saying that I need to. Maybe the babble faeries will come in the night and type in the rest?

8:51 pm

keep wanting tontine to be there.

I had the flu the week of Christmas. I couldn't babble at all. By the time I got the computer, I had used all my energy; there was nothing left to type with.

8:54 pm

good night everyone. See you tomorrow. Is there a theme for tomorrow?

9:06 pm

I am still puzzling. Dr. God, are you fooling us again? It is after 8:00 pm central, I am on the westcoast, but it is after 7:00 pm and am still being able to babble. You know, you can update your system, after 10:00pm. Be nice if you would.

9:12 pm

Anyone There?

9:19 pm

Hi JoJo, I'm still here. Just trying to get some words in before it goes down.

9:20 pm

Mas: It should have gone down 20 minutes ago. Dr. God said 8:00 CT, that is 7:00 PT. What is up with that?

9:22 pm

I think it should have gone down 1 hour and 20 mins. ago?

9:22 pm

You forgot MT is in between CT and PT. It should have gone down 1 hr 20 min ago. Down to the last 29!

9:23 pm

Is Dr. God fooling with our minds ~~ again?

9:26 pm

Good for you Vici. I just started. There is an added rush not knowing when it will go down!

9:27 pm

It is very slow though. My posts are taking quite a while.

9:27 pm

Oh I know! hehe I kind of like it this way. :)

9:47 pm

Vici: Yes, I was bit screwed up on my time zones. However, as I see it, if Dr. God said 8:00pm Central time, it should have closed down on PT at 6:00pm. I am still babbling. What is up with that?

9:48 pm

dunno... just keep going, I guess! :)

9:59 pm

so, when the server goes down, does it takes us all down with it???

9:59 pm

*waves* good evening everyone

10:01 pm

testing out my new pic

10:01 pm

I don't have any idea maggiegirl. The anticipation is killing me. I still have 52 to go.

10:02 pm

Hi Maggiegirl and Circe: By my calculation, the server should have been down over 2 hrs ago. I still babbling tho.

10:02 pm

Hi everyone!! Who needs clues?

10:03 pm

GW: Where have you been. Thought you were down per Dr. God, but guess we are still all babbling.

10:03 pm

if you give clues, i would love them!

10:04 pm

Hi GreyWoulf. Your icon looks exactly like my dog tonight. He is a St. Bernard - Husky mix and weighs over 200 lbs.

10:05 pm

my picture on my profile keeps changing!

10:05 pm

JoJo -- I was working closing shift today and had to do some grocery shopping before eating dinner and checking in :) So, I finished before signing off this AM -- tell me what you need and I'll help best I can ;)

10:06 pm

would love clues for the f words. . . not the "f word" but the f words

10:06 pm

mas -- that's a lot of dog!! :D

10:07 pm

as 8/40?

10:07 pm

GW: Why are we still on? Dr. God said 8:00pm central, that is 6:00pm PT. Another testing by Dr. God?

10:08 pm

ty GreyWoulf.. I am still stuck on the second so6/27 and so7/40... also the of6/27

10:08 pm

or any of the r's

10:09 pm

ALL of them, maggie? as8 -- drop the last letter of the st8 (most rock like) and put the a in front

10:09 pm

aha, thanks gw

10:11 pm

JoJo -- no clue -- Dr God is a very busy man -- maybe something came up *shrug*

10:11 pm

you know, I have given up on using the list on the other page and just use the stats on this page - I'm an under achiever on this game right now. I'm radomly woking and am on the r's right now. I can just listen to the clues you are giving others and that helps!

10:12 pm

2nd so6/27 -- one pillow is more so4/7 than the other so7/40 is plural of the 3rd so6/27 -- a grump who secretly loves kittens is nothing more than a big so6

10:13 pm

GW: Does that mean that tomorrow nite we will have the same trauma, as last nite, trying to solve babble in a hurry? Hope not. Hope he updates AFTER 10:00 pm. Nice to have you back chatting.

10:14 pm

aha.. the grump clue did it for me.. TY!!!

10:14 pm

i like the rush of knowing this will all stop at any moment! Someone knows what they are doing out there in babbleland. . .

10:14 pm

Lol, maggie -- I'll do what I can then -- you've got the right attitude though, so stop putting yourself down! You are not an underachiever, you set reasonable goals!

10:14 pm

vici, i have the of 6... of + exam

10:15 pm

ty LeslieAnn!

10:15 pm

lol at a grump loving kittens

10:16 pm

JoJo -- I have no clue what goes on with Dr_God -- having never met the man I know nothing about him -- though the tension does add a certain 'edge' to the game, don't you think? ;D

10:17 pm

oh sure, gw, if you've already finished! ;)

10:18 pm

GW: Yeah, it adds to the game because you never know when you are going to be clicked off. But, actually, I expected Dr. God to HONEST!

10:19 pm

Leslie -- I still have to worry about whether I can type fast enough to give the clues before the axe drops :D

10:19 pm

well i don't think it would be that fair if it did now -- i went and did stuff from 8 to 10, then came back for the last two hours

10:20 pm

ugh.. one more pls... ta6/18.. it's driving me crazy! (the one with no tongue)

10:21 pm

JoJo -- Now, now -- haven't you ever had a repairman tell you he couldn't do something because something else interfered? Dr God is not intentionally playing games with us -- though if you email him direct I am sure he will give you an apology at the very least --- He does care about us and our feelings :)

10:21 pm

hey why is dr god going to shut it down? updates, or something new? does anyone know?

10:22 pm

ta6/18 -- there are two of them both build off the 5 -- to take a sample bite is to ta*** it 1st 6 is one who takes the bite 1nd 6 is the plural of the word

10:23 pm

GW: Pleeze two nites in a row????!! Pleeze. Yes, people do make mistakes, BUT two nites in a row???

10:23 pm

nava -- he said he has to do some repairs to the site, so probably the server needs some updates

10:23 pm

lol duh.. I think that's a sign I should go to bed. Night all. :)

10:23 pm

yeah, i got the impression it wasn't anything new, just maintenance

10:24 pm

oh, thanks, i was just wondering.

10:24 pm

Vici: good nite

10:25 pm

Good evening all!!!!!!

10:25 pm

Good Night vici. How close did you get?

10:26 pm

JoJo -- my mother in law had to wait 3 months for her stove top to be replaced because the person who was doing the job kept getting hassles from the supplier -- he gave her a total of 5 different promise dates! but the supplier was messing up the repair guy -- out of his control

10:26 pm

MamaBear: So glad to hear from you tonite, even to Dr. God said we were suppose to be down by now. Where have you been?

10:26 pm

G'nite vici -- Sleep Well

10:26 pm

bear down, mama! did you get tickets?

10:27 pm

158. I think my brain's about ready to shut down for the night. ;)

10:27 pm

Hey MAMA -- one of the people I was hoping to see tonight!!! Kirsten wants to know how you are feeling today -- any better? :) (*Hug*)

10:27 pm

vici -- there are only 169 -- so you done real good!!

10:28 pm

today was my daughter's 19th birthday.... went out to lunch and shopping, then came home and had cake & presents for her and I... we always celebrate together since our birthdays are a day apart. Today is the first day I have been out of the house since last week Wednesday. Was getting cabin fever.

10:28 pm

That's great vici...my brain is about there too. Good night

10:28 pm

vici, if you ask nicely we can help you get the last 11 ;)

10:29 pm

No LeslieAnn, no tickets!!! I just enjoy watching from the warmness of my living room!!!!

10:30 pm

oh, me too, just didn't know if your icon was a sign of victory from this morning or anything ;)

10:30 pm

GW: I kind of got the impression that Dr. God was the head of this website. Someone who is employed by someone else to fix something is not the boss. That's all I am saying. Dr. God posted when we were going to be clicked off, and it didn't happen 2 days in a row. Note that I am complaining, just asking. Enjoy talking with you GW.

10:30 pm

Thanks GW!!!! You always make me smile... I am not playing the grid, just popped in to say hello. I am feeling better today, still coughing quite a bit, but have more strength. I think getting out of the house did me good. Please tell Kirsten thanks for her concern!

10:31 pm

maggie -- for the f's 1st fe5 -- to make a false attack in order to distrat an opponent is to make a fe*** 2nd fe5 -- a small mongrel dog -- change the 4th consonant both can be pluralled for 6's

10:31 pm

GW: Sorry, meant to say "not" complaining. Too much grape juice tonite.

10:32 pm

haha that changes the meaning quite a bit jo. no more grape juice for you, you're cut off!

10:32 pm

Sounds like you had a really good day, Mamabear -- we are both happy to hear that --- Glad to hear your cub had a great day too! ;)

10:37 pm

MamaBear and GW: Any day spent with your kids is a good day and a blessing.

10:38 pm

10:39 pm

Hello. I'm back for my last 30 words. Did Dr. God finish the maintenance? Or was he just teasing again?

10:39 pm

You are absolutely correct JoJo!!!

10:39 pm

just teasing jane!

10:39 pm

MAMA -- this is a pretty good grid, only 169 and most of the words jump out at you -- I was able to finish before I wnet to bed this AM which normally only happens with the teeny tinies ;)

10:40 pm

Hi harp -- so far, no repairs :\ Need any help?

10:40 pm

MamaBear: So glad you are feeling better. See things do normally have a happy ending.

10:40 pm

WOW GW, that's pretty quick!!!! I am enticed, but not foolish (or well enough) to begin it now. Just wanted to say hello .... will be heading to bed soon.

10:41 pm

thank you JoJo!!!!!

10:42 pm

Hey, can't blame a guy for trying, MAMA ;) Did you get any Lemon Zinger while you were out and about?

10:43 pm

maggie -- are you still with us?

10:44 pm

Hello

10:45 pm

No I didn't - did not go to a grocery store. It is on my list though... I like lemonade, I'm hoping it tastes more lemony than like tea. I never drink tea or coffee..

10:45 pm

10:47 pm

I started the chat room a few days ago

11:03 pm

Thank you mas -- we hadn't heard that here yet --- Kirsten just did a happy dance :)

11:03 pm

11:07 pm

Feel free to take off, c-nan -- the pack is in good paws :

11:09 pm

12 of the miners were found alive? That's incredible news! The probe the rescuers had sent down found only carbon monoxide -- things looked very grim. I was a little bit sick about the whole thing. You've brightened my day considerably mas. Thank you.

11:10 pm

Hi mab!

11:11 pm

hi mab!!!

11:11 pm

Hi GW -- isn't that almost miraculous news?

11:12 pm

11:12 pm

Ren, such a pretty picture of you!

11:13 pm

thanks mab - 8)

11:15 pm

During the hurricane in NO an elderly woman awoke to find she was floating on her mattress. She was incredibly sanguine in describing how she knew someone would come save her. In the meantime she paddled over to the kitchen and found some crackers. I love that story.

11:18 pm

I'm going to check out the news.

11:19 pm

ok mab

11:19 pm

So ren -- have you figured out what you need yet? No pressure -- it's just I don't get to give you clues that often -- role reversal is fun ;D

11:20 pm

wooo and i'm done

11:20 pm

Yayyyy for Leslie!!! (*Happy dance and hug*)

11:23 pm

Hello Everyone, I live about an hour from the site of the mine disaster. I only knew one of the men and unfortunately he was the one who didn't make it out. A very nice person, 48 years old.

11:24 pm

11:25 pm

Sorry about the loss of your friend, Funkylady-- but from the news reports so far -- he died in the act of saving the others (*hug*)

11:26 pm

11:27 pm

Thank you. Yes, he was the fire boss. My son-in-law and 2 grandsons work in the mines. Not that one though. It is a constant worry.

11:27 pm

ren -- there are 2 1st di7 -- no def, but take the 6 before it and add an h in the middle 2nd di7 -- looks like a misspelling of far away

11:28 pm

11:31 pm

no prob, ren -- always glad to help out :)

11:33 pm
