Good evening, I know I finished yesterdays Babble but my name is not on the list. Is there any reason for that. I finished in the early evening as well.
Well, I just figured out which word I missed. stoat.
Darn! -- fwip isn't a word, even though it is one of the coolest comic book sound effect words ever! :D
mama knows the good stuff!
102's not so bad.
THose stats can take half hour to generate properly.
Good Morning!!
Marc -- it takes a bit for all the players get collated into the final list -- check back in a few mins and you should be there
oooooh, pretty, Jammersbabe!
Thank you!!
hiya, d 6/27
sleepy time down south - see ya'll later...8)
G'nite ren! see you tomorrow :) (*HUG*)
Well, the live coverage of the mine rescue has hit the inane point where the reporters are asking stupid questions that merely reiterate what has already been reported, just in different permutations --- Basically -- the miners are going to the hospital to be checked out and we will know more in the AM
s6/21

i wanna fidget.........

No ganja, Brandyjack, but I found the booze :)
I see one of the Caesars in there, but somehow I don't think that's what you mean by booze GW
the booze is n4/5
well those first 61 went rather easily.... now on to the rest of the mess.....
Gotta go -- have hit the halfway point, but can't see any 6's beyond the d/27 and the s/21 -- see you all tomorrow! (*Hugs to All*) TTFN
good night GW
Good night, BW -- thanks for the booze
bye grey!
You know you're addicted when you get your world news from Babble.. That being said, the miners are rescued? And they're ok?
12 were rescued, jane... 1 died
wow, that's much better news than we expected, considering the earlier reports of bad air.... good news, more or less.
i know, i had stopped paying attention to it, figuring from the estimations of air no one would make it
can anyone give me a clue for the j word please
j4 to knudge, dislodge...
without the k....lol
thanks debs40ish i couldnt see it for looking
yw :) Thats me finished so I'll leave you all to it... Good luck... Take care all x
Congrats, debs
Does anyone have a clue for the da 5/12?
boys name +2 vowels
Thanks, ruthy
gi 6/24, please?
a male gypsy = gi/6
or add an ending to 4/6
leave out the last letter on 4/.6
Hi guys! Not too bad today, is it?
any luck, cybernan
no luck judi -- been monkey typing all around it, but haven't hit it yet.
do you have gi5/14
cybernan - Gi6/24 - gi plus "golden sun---" plus vowel.
if you do, change the 3rd letter which follows in the alphabet
got it -- thanks judi
your welcome
Has any one seen the latest news? After telling the families the miners are alive they now say only one is alive. Those poor people. I feel awful for them .
o my gosh, those poor families... that must be torture
I know. I am in shock. I can't imagine how they must feel..
stymied again........ pa 5/14 (first one in the list)?
pa5 think father different vowel ending
Thank you, aj --- about the only thing I didn't try!
your welcome
Are a & j your initials? ---- if so, we have the same ones!
yes Amy Jo
Just read your profile, aj -- I used to do pottery -- just shut down my business last year.
Finished!!!!!! -- and I even went to the trouble of finding a movie icon this afternoon for tomorrow
I never did pottery I am not good at being creative. I can paint things that are already shaped. I wish I was more creative.
It's not really that difficult -- just takes lots of practice!
Good for you. I will have to finish in the morning. Getting tired and my brain is freezing
Good night aj -- it's past my bedtime too! Good night everyone -- happy hunting!
I guess i don't have much of an imagination. I try but it just doesn't work for me
Good Night
I found the painting to be the most difficult -- never quite sure how the colour was going to fire!
I don't have trouble with that usually. sometimes the bursting paint can be tricky
any hints for the pi 6/30 ?
stuck on that one myself
me also ><
Pi6 is also known as a contact language. Or think of it as a misspelled bird.
just found the pi6 myself... phonetically it almost sounds like the bird (sorta like the dove)
thanks hug!
yw mrp! :o)
ty Hugs and melissa
Welcome! I sort of blasted through today so I'm done early -- anyone need another clue before I go?

Thanks
hello everybody!
Good morning, not back to school yet?
no but tomorrow I will though.
Will you be glad to get back?
yeah half and half.
It takes a few days to get back into routine again, doesen't it? Will you be able to fit in babble?
everyday except for monday but maybe I'll be able to fit in a few mins on mondays about 6:30.
If that's 6.30 am, then you're really dedicated! There aren't many big words today - 6 is the highest. I know you like your big point earners!
I want to try and finish the puzzle without dad today! but I'll need help of course so can I have some clue's for the 6ix's please???
I don't have them all yet but here's what I do have ad 6/24 - change something di 6/27 - proper name for fingers and toes pi6/30 - a type of language, rhymes with type of bird st6/21 - plural of a sports arena - like Wembley
thanks got three of them!
That was quick! Have you got the 5's off some of them as well?
yes! the only one I can't get is the ad 6/24.
Okay, can you think of a word beginning with ap that means suitable or appropriate? Add it to ad to get the 5 then pluralise for the 6.
help for the di 6/24?
Try googling - An anticlinal fold in which a mobile core, such as salt or gypsum, has pierced through the more brittle overlying rock for the di6 Hi everyone (I'm not really here BTW)
di6 fingers and toes
the di6/24 is similar to American nappy - different last vowel.
If you're not really here, FMitch, where are you?
LOL I'm back in the real word (working) but can't help keeping half an eye on the chat.
Ah, we'll whisper so as not to attract attention....
any clues for the da 5/12 (and 6/21)?
thanks haz with help I got the ad 6/24 how do you do that fireworks thing????
Fireworks thing?
you know... &*&*&*&*&* FIREWORKS *&*&*&*&*&*&
Ah, I know what you mean now but I'm not sure myself. Some people seem to have worked out a system using lots of asterisks etc. Keep an eye out for those who do it and then ask for a tutorial!
ok i'll do that!
I have to go now, Sam, but here's a few 5's for you ra5/14 - very fast ga5/14 - plural of way of walking st5/10 - unwanted mess on clothes See you later, bye!
bye and thanks!
da5/12 boys name +2 vowels and then pl for the 6
Hi everyone - how's it going?
Hi Dianne some of the wrds are hidden very well but glad to say have rounded up all 102 of the little critters!
Good for you - I'm nearly done as well.
Done. Sam - you need anything?
Mitch.... I'm down to two: in 6/33, and one of the ga 4/6's (either the 3rd or 4th one) Help! :)
(I have the one that looks like plural felines, with a g)
mon, do you have the ga4/6 that is a particular way of walking?
ga4/6 - another word for jail.
Hi Everyone, it's mrpresident's husband here - I've got 29 words to find. Any chance of asking for some clues? (I just sat down to finish it)
trish... yes i have the walking ga 4/6, it is one farther down the list that I need.... either right before or right after the "slang for pistol" ...that looks like plural felines with a g)
mon, nm, obviously I was missing one.... in6/33 = in + wr4/9
Ask away.
see Dianne's clue for the nearest ga 4/6 to the guns
ok you guys.. it is 4a.m. and i reeeeeeally want to go to bed here.... my peabrain is not getting the "jail" clue (even with dict help), so can we approach it another way maybe? pleeeeease :)
ga + ancient (without the last letter)
O.K. think of what you make in football (to score) and switch the vowels around.
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ! niiiiiiiiiiiite niiiiiiiiiiiiite, i'll be on later to help with clues :) smoooooochies!

Hi guys, hope you are well. The grid is not as easy as you might first think but here are some good words hiding in it.
Hi FMitch...hmmm i'm looking upon the As with disgust as usual lol : )
Hello everyone! : )
You still 'working', FMitch?
Hi babe (((xx))) : ) How's your day?
hola lola!
I am Haz, but it's lunchtime so thought I would just pop in for 5 mins
Hey babe! (((xxx))) Not too bad, and yours? : ) Hi evaN! : )
Hi lola!
You're excused, then. I'm getting a few words between ironing and getting lunch ready.
Hi FMitch! : )
...sleepy : / Batteries are still charging lol
Anj, sounds like you were doing a lot of partying over the holidays Sounds like it was a good night at tbears' birthday bash.
FMitch, loads of social and no sleep a tired Anj makes... LOL : )
Mmmm, know the feeling. I'm dreading tomorrow when I have to be out the door with a fully dressed and fed and cleaned-up toddler at 9am : /
*yawn*
Is everyone falling back to sleep again? If anyone needs any clues I am here for a couple more mins.
Zzzz ' ** ' nyup nyup...eh? Oh, thanks FMitch but i'm happy sleepnoodling at the moment : )
LOL *whispers - didn't mean to wake you up* sshhh, go back to sleep and when you wake up your grid will be grey.
Hey, what was all the fuss in the log yesterday?? Toes seemed to be a little shocked but I couldn't find the offending posts...
I think Dr God managed to strike out whatever was offensive so no record exists.
Hi! Does anyone want to help me take my Christmas decorations down? No? You all seem rather tired! Anj - I think a couple of trolls invaded the log but Jamie zapped 'em very quickly.
Makes sense, thanks Haz. What was it all about? Did we get trolled?
it was the usual trollish behaviour but with a bit of a nasty edge to it
Anj - I wasn't around at the time the invasion occurred but I imagine it was the usual non-brain type of poster that comes in to insult players and only proves him or herself 'sadder' than they accuse us of being. Best ignored.
Time to go back to work see you all anon.
Hi Jac : ) Hmm...so the babble goat gruffs made it over the bridge then, lol : )
Bye, FMitch.
I see we're in Prada today lol : )
...and going to Pinda too : D
Hi jacs! : ) Must go do the ironing, be back later : ) Anj, you got mail babe : ) xx
LOL Anj. Tippety tap over the bridge. Well, I'll leave you to sleep noodle as I need to get these decorations down. Also got to go down to the greengrocer's. 23 words left to find so I'll be back later. Happy zzzzBabbling!
*Anj scuttles off to read mail*
Lol! It's Phinda with a silent 'h' though babe : )
Only rich ladies can in6/33 themselves in Prada!
Cheers babe lol : ) Ooooo good clue Haz : D
We try!
Morning everyone! I wouldn't say it's good, though. My beloved Seminoles lost to Penn State in triple overtime. :( But it was a wonderful game to watch, but I am now exhausted.
Well, you're joining a sleepy bunch of babblers, so you'll fit right in.
Morning Jen : ) Triple overtime? You got your moneys worth there...
Yeah, it started at 8, and finished at about 1.

Way to go Haz!
Hey Haz...congrats!! how long did it take you...debating about getting started or passing another day...
I never time myself, mainly out of shame but also because I get distracted so often by dog walking, housework etc.
ok haz...8)
I don't worry about statistics, so why not join in even if you don't get it completed?
Hi, Ren! Love your kitty! Is that yours...I'll be rooting for the Longhorns as well...went to UCLA and USC was always the huge rival...now live in Texas too!

Hi every1! Today looks a little gruesome for such a wee one. Is it as bad as it appears to be?
actually Gramma...I thought it was fairly easy
Oh good...I could use something easy.
I got stuck at 60 initially but got there in the end. Not too many babble words for a change, either that or I am playing too much and learning them.
Hi dsp0705
Hi all.... Can anyone give a clue please for the in6/33
Hi Ho Hum

thanks marigold, found it
clue for the si5x1 please
clue for wi5x1 please
Body part located in skull
Haz - is that for the si or wi word
wi 5/22 is the name of a British town, or you could think of it as a hairpiece plus start of Green Gables heroine's name. The si is the body bit - think of colds.
Haz, thanks so much found them both, time for a break
Good - you'll come back refreshed.
Wow! I've finished and it's still daylight! I'll pop back from time to time to see how everyone is getting on
Hey Haz How's the ironing going?
help with ad /24, please...all you finishers!
Babs1 if you have ad5, then just pl
ad6 plural of ad5
Thanks, Fmitch...I thought that was coming...don't have the 5 either :(
Ironing's done, FMitch. Our daughters are both at home so there's a lot more laundry going on than usual.
LOL ad5 to modify or change, to make more suitable.
duh...was working from the wrong a...what else is new?
Haz, how come they arn't doing the ironing for you?
Because they have perfected the art of ironing badly!
The other reason is that I actually enjoy ironing. Strange, I know.
ROFL
Good Morning! I'm popping in and out this morning since I'm taking down Christmas. Any help w/the in 6/33?
in plus wr4/9. Think of presents.
Thanx Haz
di 6/24?
You're welcome, Nonny.
Babs - sounds a bit like what you would call a baby's nappy
di 6/24 - similar word to what babies wear, but use a different last vowel
Team Haz/FMitch - strikes again!
thanks, guys...who said there wasn't alot of weird babble words today???
We should probably be giving geological definitions but life's too short!
I'm heading off once more to exercise the dog. Happy babbling, everyone.
See you next time Haz :)
morning everyone! :)
Anyone with the pi 6/30???
na 5/12?
na5/12 A point on the celestial sphere directly below the observer, diametrically opposite the zenith. pi6/30 - A simplified form of speech that is usually a mixture of two or more languages. Sounds like a bird.
na5/12 opposite of zenith
Thanks, darleen...
y/w Babs
Hi folks. Just came back to finish my last 2 words and would like to say thanks to Haz for the di6/24 and FMitch for the pi6/30. Don't think I'd have found them without your excellent clues.
Hi Jac, you are welcome!!!
Anyone need any clues while I'm here on my teabreak?
yah...looking for one of the last two ga 4/6's
have the variant of jail one
Please help with ag 5/14 6/24
Babs - one ga4 is an anagram of your horny st4/6. The other ga4 finished with the French number one.
Thanks! jacula!
The ag's. Add 'a' to the start of your gi4 & 5 that mean 'to get the thread or idea of something'. Sounds a bit like discrimination by date of birth.
Thank you kindly Jacula ,does look easy ,when one gets a hint
Glad you both got the clues! Time I went back to de-Christmassing the house. TTFN.
Jacula I am doing the same thing
Morning all! DeChristmas eh? Can I just put the whole tree on the side of the street? I'm having a block of taking down decorations.
You have 0word(s) left to find such beautious words!! :D
Way to go Eva!
woo hoo! eva...got a clue for one of the os 5's
they kinda sound like the name of the soviet union. almost the same spelling, just the very center letter is different between the two words.
hmm...not coming through...i have the one that's an ancient city...
Babs, sounds like Occupational Safety and Hazard Admin acronym.
take your ancient city. take out the center letter + double the letter before it.
pa 5/14? (good morning!)
plural pa4/6
sounds kinda like what someone spanish woulc call their dad or priest...but change the last vowel
harp - an abbreviation of what a cowboy might call a 'friend'...as in howdy pa____
there are 3 x pa5/14
Yes, I figured out that there are 3 pa 5/14. After I asked for the clue. I already had two, but you all very politely gave me clues for all three. Got it now! Thank you.
Back again and hoping to finish up. Still need si 5/12. Anyone???
Nonny si5/12 gets blocked when you have a cold
Thanx Frances.....
You're welcome Nonny
FINALLY!!! I'm done and out of here. A thanx for those who helped me off and on..... Anyone need anything b/4 I go?

eb - LOL
thanks maryjo24
Sorry renfield, I'm a little ssssssslllllllooooooowwwww
LOL gramma - that was a dirty trick for me to play...i just couldn't resist!!!! forgive me??? 8)
Eva, try Games.com boggle
eva - there's always sudoku.com...
MaryJo ag5&6 to rent your pastureland
gramma - I saw that clue early and still can't get it??? SOrry a little slow!
sudoku frustrates me...too much thinking! hehe im much better with letters than numbers...
Gramma - got the ag's not just the gi...
Eva, I've been enjoying Text twist on yahoo games. I don't always get all the words. So, for me it's a bit challenging.
eva - plus the site (I just checked) used to be free...now there's a free download & then on ongoing purchase...
yeah, theres text twist in MSN as well -- i highly recommend their game section to anyone who hasnt tried it -- the badges male it a little more challenging and motivate you play even the games you usually arent into...heh
evening all. I stopped by a little earlier and found 20 odd words, now back to try and do the rest :/
MaryJo, it sounds like someone who's biased against old people
hi mia!
What is sudoku (not that I need anything else to play on the computer)?
hi mia!!
Thank you again Gramma!!
bunnyvicious - it's a 'numbers/logic' puzzle... there are 9 columns/9 rows/9 'boxes'... You have to have the numbers 1 - 9 in each w/o repeating in any row/column or box. A lot of newspapers are printing them now...
bunny -- its a game started over in asia with a grid + numbers 1-9. you have to use each number once in each row, each column, and each block of the grid. kinda hard to explain without looking at it...its fun, but it can be frustrating!
di 6/24?
harp - it sounds like something you would put on a baby...(diff. spelling of course!)
YW MaryJo. Bias against the old did it?
EB -- if you still wanna play it, i think there is still a free non-downloaded version over on miniclip
Yep...
thank you!
eva - my mother sent a book of them for Christmas...I have quite a few to keep me busy!!
Well then I'm glad. Did you find your gi 6 ?
Yes... Now I have the UN to go for... and some ra's left..
un's DONE.. Do you have any clues for the os's ??? Please
That looks pretty interesting, why do the numbers show either red or grey?
See you all tomorrow. I have to finish insulating the wood shed walls. Anybody want to help? It's really fun. Come on..really it's fun, honest.
bunny - they give you 'starter' numbers so that you can enter the rest...I believe the first page shows a sample with the starter numbers, and then if you move your mouse over it, it shows the full grid...
gramma - bye & have fun! sorry I can't help!!
Bye Gramma... Thank you.. Have fun
must go for a bit...be back soon!
bye eb 8)
Are you there sjw? Just on for a minute before He Who Must Be Obeyed comes in from work!!
Any1 wanna help me now with the j...? Can't see it.....
A jo** of electricity
j4: an electrical nudge
Movieman - sudden movement
Does it count when you learn a new word everyday, but aren't sure what it means?
Thanx all for the j.....I feel a right tit now....
Any clues for di 5/16 and 6/27?? Please
Another word for your fingers
think numbers.
or, d1 + gi 4/6
am here jlw just started!
That "one" should have been an "i", I'm on day four without a cigarette and going crazy!!!!!!
*whew* just did an easy-level sudoku and my brain hurts!
46 so far!
I love sudokus!!
any cles for ga6/24, please?
there is no GA 6/24 its Gi 6/24 :)
go bunny!!!!
Hey bunny - are you quitting by cold turkey or using something to help you?
Thank you for the di's...
Go bunny, I know you can quit the dreaded weed....
I threw my pack out a midnight, Dec 31, been twitching ever since. I'm using a little "pill". Nicotine tablet called Ariva or Stonewall, they are $2.50 a pack, but I only use one in the morning. They are like little mints you tuck under your lip.
Going now SJW - want to search for collagen filler stockists-or maybe will just use the polyfiller in the garage:-)
Go for it, I stopped 7 months ago using patches (was a 40 a day smoker)
Try Alan Carrs book - the easy way to stop smoking. Good fun read - easy to quit and no withdrawal....
It's alot cheaper than the patch or perscriptions...
Angelsong, as everyone's talking about smoking, the gi6/24 is a famous French cigarette brand with a different letter at the end.
Mary the os's all have to do with bone. All of three words end in the same vowel. The first o"s's", (the "ssnakey-looking letter), have a double constanant followed by vowels. One has a one-vowel ending, the other has a two-vowel ending. The last os change the second constanant to another one and end the word in the same vowel as the other two words above it
I think a few more days the worst will be over, won't it?
Oh yeah - book is under £12 for latest hardback with 2 CDs to play in the car. Cheaper than patches, tablets or gum and doesnt replace one source of nicotine with another
I'm just happy that more and more folks are beginning to understand about what smoking actually does to them.......
my mom quit like 20 years ago cold turkey -- she called it the "one hour at a time" method. my dad has tried to quit, but he cant cause he doesnt really want him to -- he just tries to quit because WE want him to. the irony is that he started smoking because my mom did.
well good luc bunny and keep at it.
My husband quit same time, as far as I know, no infractions. He works around soker though. I just haev the three year old twins all day (makes me want a smoke!).
Anyone know if Ren is okay? Those fires in Texas are getting very scary :(
13 more to go...
bunny - all the dogs and kids - I just drink *grins and up ends dregs of glass*
And I CAN'T TYPE!! Thanks for all the well wishes, I'll do fine. I don't want my kids smoking, big incentive.
Is doxy on here?
I smoked till my dad died of lung cancer. That was a wakeup call.
thanks hydra, but I dnn't smoke, so I'm still clueless...:)
It would be for me too.
Don't guess I've seen Ren, but I think the fires are under control, I'm here too. My husband's crew are'nt allowed to weld due to burn bans.
i could start quoting lines from part of one of my favorite movies... "cigarettes. i hate people who smoke. i hate SMOKE. i dont get it -- a hobby that makes you DIE. thats like the equivalent of always carrying around a salt-lick laced with a tiny bit of cyanide..."
OK Angelsong, let's try this: an old g-- plus a Latin year minus a consonant!
They are fining like crazy for cig's out the window, I'm ready for rain!
bunny I quit years ago too...it was cold turkey for me. It was soooo hard because my husband would smoke when we were in the car and I couldn't escape it. Years later now he finally told me looking back he realizes how difficult he had made it for me.
st6 anyone?
evanadine, just out of curiosity, which movie is that quote taken from...?
Gi 6: Gi + people lay out in the sun to get a *** + a vowel
st6 - places where sports are played
A salt lick with cyanide doesnt cost over a fiver for 20 licks. can you tell Im an ex smoker? 1 year 6 days.... never missed it after the book - spent 5 years before trying unsuccessfully to quit. I LURVE Alan Carr.....
"High Strung"
Think of a football st*****, where they seat all the people.
Got it, thanks! ag5/14? (2nd one)
"what about those people who say theyre gonna quit and then an hour later you see them with a butt hanging out of their mouth? what ig Ghandi had that kinda willpower? 'i will not eat until there is complete freedom and indepen...is that a butterfinger?!'"
remove the last two letters, add an a
gi6/24 drop the "s" in the last gi4/6 + add the first 3 letters from the second an4/4
LMAO
satan?
a + gi 4/6
ag5/14 a + first gi4/6
"what they need to do is change the warning on the package: 'WARNING: if you do this, you will die. yknow, die? dead-o-rama! you wont be alive anymore -- UN-ALIVE! youll take a dirt nap. youll pay a personal visit directly to elvis. worms will have a new and sudden attraction to you! your mail will stop coming! aerobics will be out of the question! IF YOU DO THIS, YOU WILL DIE!"
Second gi4, but I got it. Thanks.
dirt nap LOL, never heard that one
da5? pi6? Then I'm done!!
evanadine, are you still quoting from "High Strung"...?
neither have I
"yeah, but then youd still have that guy who says 'my grandfather smoked 3 packs a day, and he lived to be 75 years old.' yeah, but what he doesnt tell you is that he had one lung, breathed like a walrus, and couldnt tell ya who he was. boy, thats living!"
take the s from your do 6/21 pi, odd way to spell a bird that poops all over statues
g'afternoon! :)
Nevermind, got the Di. Just need Pi6 now.
da5 man's name + add two vowels at end
Got the Da I mean.
heh, sure am movieman. came out in 1994, directly to video. stars steve oedekirk (of the tumb-movie and "kung pao" fame) cameos by jim carey, fred willard, jani lane, denise crosby, the guy who played Biff in "back to the future" and others.... mostly, a monologue of a really high strung guy complaining about anything + everything. freakin hilarious.
pi6 this is a language, sounds something like the sea bird you always see at dumps, kinda spell it phonetically Hi Tim :)
hello HOTTam
Never seen it, my husband's in Eddie Izzard, cross dressing comedian
second and third ga4/6's?
Missy....I don't think that particular bird is a sea bird, at least not where I come from....
It was 16 years ago this week, when I kicked the habit, but I NEVER actually said "I'm giving up smoking", I just said "Dammit, I'm not buying any more", different attitude altogether!
into, i mean
i have a few eddie izzard DVDs -- saw him live a few years ago. big fan. :D
yeah... Izzard's f'n hilarious
Think it's time for me to consume more coffee and jitter around the house some more...see you guys tomorrow.
Thanks for the clue. Finally done.
can anyone please give me a clue for si 5/12
movieman I was born at the sea shore...they do definitely like living at the sea. If it wasn't for dumps they probably would have stayed sea birds in California
flying rats, not seabirds >g<
do you have a FLAG?? well...no flag no country! according to...the-rules-that-i-just-mad e-up...
bye bunny!
evanadine, I've just checked out "High Strung" on the imdb, and it also stars a young Kirsten Dunst, before she starred in "Interview with the Vampire"....
If it isn't on a screen, I don't get to go see it. Last time we went out was the Friday before we got married....
yep...shes only in it for a few seconds though...heh
si 5/12 this is the opening of your nose leading from the nostril
thanks missyme thats me all finished
Missy, where I live, (the east of England), you tend to see more of those flying rats in towns and cities than at the coast...
Congrats Ruthy!
Hi everyone :) I don`t suppose I could have a clue for the first ta4/5 please.....it`s the only one i`m missing and i`ve got to make dinner yet!!
waves at hot timale ... I'd BE a fellow mensan but I quit.
ta...reminds me of baby frogs
Movieman Are they the huge type? Not sure if those birds are the same size everywhere. Ours are giants, like an albatross...they definitely are nasty tempered...always fighting with each other
*waves back* which group?
ta4/5 this means just a small bit, plural
Thanks Bunny.....you`re a star :o) See you all later, must make dinner!!! Byeeeee :)
Missy, are you sure you're not getting them confused with seagulls, or any other seabirds for that matter....? Our "flying rats" don't tend to be that large....
by lotti :)
I thought thats what we were talking about...geesh I really screwed up lol
okay I need to say again about that clue I gave...I meant the little irritating birds that are constantly at your feet in San Francisco, or any big city for that matter...flying rats is a good discription Movieman
also, this particular spelling is al so used as Pi****-english...which is kinda of a shorthand...
I agree, Missy, there are no end of them in London, especially in Trafalgar Square, and apparently Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London has forbidden people to feed them....
why would anyone want to feed the world's most prolific car-bombers?
movieman very wise policy! People are always feeding them in San Francisco.
Hot I think it's a "quaint" and constant Holliwood staple...you see a little old lady or man sitting all by their lonesome on a bench feeding them.....BAH!
what about Mary Poppins...she sang a whole dang song about it!!
right, but since when is Hollywood stock fitting for real-life application?
Mary Poppins was a drug pusher
hot timale ... I forget (blonde senior moments are such a trial)
supercalifragilisticexpialidos hus or somewhat/thing
Missy - don't hold back...tell us how you REALLY feel!! LOL!!!
And what about the Pi6/27 Lady from "Home Alone 2".....
in6 please?
Darleen - right movie, wrong song! 8 )
Hot...Hollyweird makes everything stupid look cool...people can be such sheep! lol
really? I thought that was Mary Poppins???
that and a spoonful of something or other makes the medicine go down?
tsk. really bad blonde moments today.
Dar - I think she sang both...the other was "Feed the Birds...tuppence a bag..."
in6 in + wr4/9
mas - in + w4/9
Not at all, Darlene. Mary Poppins is practically perfect in every way.
how right you are, Missy... maybe we should rename this game baaaaa-bble
Eastern lol I thought that movie was silly even when I saw it as a child
mab!!! Happy New Year!!!
so why does that make your fellow babblers sheep>?
heh, glad im not the only one who has that song running through their head, EB!
Hot lol!
I never saw the movie but the songs (runs screaming from the room)
Thank you so much FMitch.
any clues on the os's? i swear i've tried every combination! plz & ty! :)
'tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a baaaag'
why do i keep wanting to type oldgits? must be telling me something!
back now and banging head on desk. no more, please (LOL)
birdseed, that is.
bejay it's those damned blonde senior moments, eh?
efor - os - all end in vowels & are related to "bones"...
efor the os's all have to do with bone. All of three words end in the same vowel. The first o"s's", (the "ssnakey-looking letter), have a double constanant followed by vowels. One has a one-vowel ending, the other has a two-vowel ending. The last os change the second constanant to another one and end the word in the same vowel as the other two words above it
On a different topic, can anyone listen to the "William Tell Overture" WITHOUT thinking of the Lone Ranger.....?
Well, Im off to buy some wood...we're building a seating area in front of a window :) Cya all later
now I have 'dem bones, dem bones, dem...dry bones" going through my head...darn me for knowing so many different songs!!
movieman ... no. Hollywood has ruined lots of really great music along with really great novels.
so right darleen!
bye MissyMe
EB... don't remind me... 'dem bones was the warmup song my girls picked for last year's volleyball season.
It's a gift, Eastern! (I so say because I know pretty much the same ones)
I agree darleen, I mean why did Coppola have to use "The Ride of the Valkyries" in "Apocalypse Now"......?
yay! thanks missy! finally done with all the vowel words!
Anything is fair when it comes to Wagner, MovieMan.
If I could have any part of my memory erased, I would choose to get rid of any trace of the Lone Ranger so I could listen to the "William Tell Overture" and really appeciate it.....
HotTimale...that's worse...I ran track in the '80's & we had that song "Break My Stride"...I was SOOO sick of it by the end of the season!
ok... you win =P
Instead of thinking about some gink wearing a black mask and riding a white horse.....
HT - it might be a tie!! 8 )
It scarcely brings to mind William Tell, does it. How about the use of Mendelsohn's Italian Symphony in 'Breaking Away?' (pretty old movie)
i guess i should be thankful that left to their own devices, a team of 15-yr-old girls knew better than to pick anything by Britney or Kenny Chesney
Just checking in to see if anyone needs any clues.....?
mab - you mean the cycling movie with the two Dennis's (Quaid & Christopher).....?
HT - that's the bright side!!
"nobody gonna break my stride...nobody gonna hold me down, oh no! ive got to keep on movin!" DARN you EB!!
i'm not sure they all had a bright side... ;)
greetings babblers, clues for ag 6?
I'm stuck on those first two ad's.
Oooh, thanks for the reminder about Break my Stride ... I'm off to itunes :-)
Great memory, Movie Man; I don't remember the Quaids, but I do remember, of course, the cycling. The kid is enamored of anything Italian.
badcat -- to be able to change according to a given situation.
*hangs head in shame* Sorry eva....
norad - it sound like a group of people who are against others because of their elderly status....
got it, thanks movieman
norad... plural form of one who discriminates
thanks Eva!
heh, its ok. my friend + i are planning a CD of sings that we would use if ever one day we decided to become...erm, exotic dancers...heh... great ones would be on there like "pour some sugar on me" - def leppard "criminal" - fiona apple "these boots are made for walking" - cover done by the Fixx i think ill hafta just make the CD one day, just in case!
mab - "Breaking Away" happens to be one of my father's favourite movies, seeing as he's a big fan of cycling, PLUS he always watches the Tour de France during the summer....
eva - you'd have to include the diVinyls song...I Touch Myself...
eva, do you have cherry pie on there?
thx to you too Hot Timale, do you have a clue for the gi 6 ?
Oh yeah EB that is one of my all time faves!
norad, brand of jeans (i think) popular in the '80s
Darleen - I was a teen in the late '80's...does it show?? ; )
That's it Evana, 'just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, medicine go down.....In the most delightfufl waaaay' I can see its exotic dancing potential.
eva - and what about Coloe Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up"....? Or "Cream" by Prince & the New Power Generation....?
HotTimale...what a riot...that's what I thought of when I finally got the word...others were telling me "Spanish Gypsy"...I would have gotten it much faster w/ your clue!!
Hey I was, well I won't say but I still love that music! (wait wait ... NOT disco no no no... ROCK from the 80's)
Sorry, that should be COLOR Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up".....
Haha, movieman, I figured you were just using the appropriate accent...
mab - ROFLMAO!
not to omuch a fan of "i wanna sex you up" myself, but all the others are great! also would have "you shook me all night long" by ac/dc on there!
any clues for the da5 and da6? I'm sure they are *really* obvious adn I just cant see them!
thx Hot Timale, I'm working on it...badcat...the two ad's have to do with getting used to something new...if the weather pattern changes, we will have to ad---
"Breaking Away' was a sweet movie....it's actually on my netflix list because I haven't seen it for years.
da 5/12 - small, often brightly coloured freshwater fishe - and plural
Atalante - da - da 5 - think boy's name + 2 vowels da 5 - the above + plural
thank you! I knew they would be obvious! *kicks the fish*!
eva - how 'bout "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Joe Cocker?
for the da's think of what jack lord always said on hawaii five-oh.
finally got it, thanks Hot Timale...
EB -- oh the memories!! my senior year in college, i was president of our dance club. my mission (in which i was successful!) was to get together a group of guys to re-enact the full monty and thats the song we used!! :D
eva - you persuasive little minx!! how fun!
yw nor
its on video somewhere... we could only do the "mostly monty" though...hah but i made sure the boys had an encore that involved them interacting with the audience. ;) OH!! how could we ever forget "i want your sex" by george michael?!
Eva - or what about "Erotica" or "Justify My Love" by Madonna.....
eva - you should save that video in case they ever run for office!! blackmail is good... 8 D
not bad movieman -- how can we have such a cd without madonna? i think id be more inclined so a song like "human nature" myself. ;)
EB -- i WISH i had it! still friends with one of the guys...it would be such a fun memory!! i mean, these guys could NOT dance when we started...and we really whipped them into shape! they were so cute by the end of it!
Eva - or how about "Where Life Begins".....the first song I heard that's about cunnilingus....
eva, that's a great idea, making the cd. Its always good to have a backup skill.
hah, i dont know that one movieman!
mab -- yeah, mom always said i should have a fallback plan. ;)
There's a word difficult to rhyme.
eva - it's track 5 on her "Erotica" album.....
One could work 'charlie mingus' into the lyric.
mab - tee hee hee!!!
or "cunning linguist" :D
ooh! almost forgot one of my favorite songs for the list -- "hey pretty" by poe
Did you ever see the Saturday Night Live parody of the work set in Civil War days - Colonel Ingus??
It reminds me of a piece of graffiti I once read.... "Cunnilingus is not an Irish airline!!!!"
played by none other than Mr. Christopher Walken.
Hi guys! : )
Yeah Boreetos!!
...is that in the same vein as "an innuendo is not an Italian suppository" ? This is one weird thread...
Hola Lola! Feliz Ano Nuevo!
hi kids!! First time back since Christmas!!
evanadine - I love Poe!
haven't sene that one, Lupe... but since we're talking about SNL puns, does it come close to being as funny as the Janet Jackson "cork soaker?"
Happy New Year Boreetos!
err... seen
HI All : ) HNY Boreetos! Great timing babe ; ) (((xx)))
Missed that one HotTimale!
Happy New Year!!!
That's funny, Lupe. i've not seen it though. I've not heard any of the songs anyone has just mentioned. Too much listening to Mingus and Coltrane and Mendelsohn, I guess.
Anj.....yep And like "I thought the Karma Sutra was an Indian restaurant until I discovered Smirnoff"......
Hope to catch it in reruns on cable!
anj! lola! youre just in time for our very serious discussion!!
Ack! i think I've been blinded, Anj!
if you can find it somewhere online (or anywhere, for that matter) it's well worth the effort
Lupe! Gelukkige kersfees en neuwe jaar! : ) Hey boreetos! : ) Hi babe! As always... ; ) (((xxx)))
EvaN, i've got Poe's Hello album, but apart from the title track I was left a little cold on that : / Have I missed something??
the Colonel Lingus sketch is on the best of Christopher Walken DVD from SNL.
hi Lola!
Thanks Boreetos.....
Boreetos, is the cork soaker on DVD?
Walken is so odd, I imagine it was hilarious. Hi Lola!
Hi mab! : )
Thanks Lola!
and Boreetos, it's been donkeys' years!
I'm not sure... the SNL website has a searchable list of all the sketches though. Grouped by guest host or by date. You could look up when Janet hosted and find it.
i was saying that my friend + i were going to put together a CD of songs that we would use, if ever we decided to become exotic dancers. ;)
Just checking in to see if anyone needs any clues.....?
hi boreetos...lola...Anj!!
anyone have the last two ga 4/6's? i need the one that's not british
Hi EB! : )
Hi EB! Eva!
Hey EB : )
n/m... monkeyed it out
hi Lupe!
hola EB!!
clue for the na5x1 please
HotTimale: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/0 3/03qcork.phtml
Okay, I seem to have a mental block with words bgining with ts.....can someone please help me?? : )
One is an old fashioned slang word for guns. the other rhymes with what Bambi was.
wow, no input from anj??
peri- the lowest point : )
Gelukkig Nuwejaar?
eh?
Hi, lola, thank you
lola - the 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet...
Happy New Year Anj...
holy cow you guys, we forgot "closer" by nine inch nails! thats gotta be on the list for sure!
hi peri!
missing an ni4. have the little bugs
EvaN, I think the music depends on the audience. For some reason i'm drawn to More Human than Human by White Zombie although that might be considered eclectic by the drooling masses : )
HI there EB
Do you have the palm, peri?
Did you hear about the new Russian leader? He's experiencing a taste of Tsardom! Badump Crash!
ni 4: ni + very short word for DAD
ni 4 A large palm of the Philippines and Australia, having long leaves often used for thatching.
Closer is good : ) The video was freaky!
Anj, are you trying to correct me? I did spell 'nuwe' wrong but you still need the 'e' on the end of 'gelukkig' ; )
thanks for the clues, now have the 2nd ni4, new word for me
lola.... ts word.....easiest to go to www.morewords.com and type in " ts* "
evenin ladies and gentlemen. Happy new year and all that. Did I miss anything? ;)
tyvm Lupe... everyone at work is trying to figure out why i'm laughing my a** off
always a good time on the babble chatlog...heh
Hi dachef! How you been? : )
Babe, ts5 is t plus 1st sa4/5 I wasn't correcting, I was puzzled why there was an E on gelukkig : ) Mine was happy new year...or at least it was meant to be : / I've probably declared it's a national holiday in the Cape or something : (
Dachef! Welcome back!
Dachef!!!!!!!!!
:-D HotTimale!
Hi Dachef!
were we talking about sex related songs? Freaks of the industry, Naughty by Nature Nikki Dont stop, Low Millions Crash, Dave Matthews Band most other songs by Dave Matthews Band Sally, Two Live Crew
Hey Dachef - HNY hombre : )
not just sex-related. songs for exotic dancers...hehe
nice to be back babbling, but even nicer to finally be home at last. Been living in hotels so long I feel like Alan Partridge.
gotcha, sorry. how about Frontier Psychiatry by the Avalanches then? that'd be good.
cant say i know that one
...how about Animal: I *** like a Beast by W*A*S*P then??
Where have you been Dachef?
I dont think it matters what music you use. If you want to grab that pole and dance, then grab that pole and dance baby! Time for a lie down methinks........
Disco Science by Mirwais would be a good one, I think. If you don't know which song I'm talking about, watch the movie Snatch... the scene where the dogs are chasing the rabbit.
im not as much into the harder stuff...not that im opposed to it, just not familiar with it...heh
mab - been working awa from home for the past month or so. No internet access! Have been playing a wee bit (the odd hour here and there) whenever I can to feed the addiction! Good to be back tho and see all the usual faces/icons!!!
back in a few...
Thanks babe... xxx :) Don't know why you add the E..... you just do, okay?! lol!
oh, that slippery slope, eva....
...you could try Jakalope's Don't Cry...
How about 'you and me baby ain't nothing but mammals, so lets do it like they do on the discovery channel'? Can't remeber who did that one : )
Bloodhound Gang...
Eva - here's another one for you.....how 'bout "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye.....
good one Lola, Bloodhound Gang by the way.
ooh, another good one movieman! trying to go with something mostly mainstream...heh
Have to disappear for a bit, back soon : )
Or "Sexy M.F." by Prince & the New Power Generation.....
yeah, pretty much any song by the bloodhound gang would work...ha
wow! I've never heard of so many different songs...I must live under a rock!
bye HT... bye Lola...
yeah, like "pretty when I'm drunk"
best erotic dance song: Boston, More Than a Feeling. Also, if we're going with the soft rock option, what about 'Radar Love'?
muscrat love? on that note, I gotta get back to work. nice to chat with alll of you guys again. see you soon!
...may as well go for Free's Wishing Well while we're at it then...
golden earring, soft rock?? while you're on Prince, why not P. Control?
one more... you down with OPP?!
heh, lots of possibilities, but yknow, ive gotta whittle it down to the cream of the crop! only the best of the best!
Or how about the whole of Prince's "Come" album..... Especially, "Come", "Pheromone", & "Orgasm"....
...and we haven't even touched on Bon Jovi or the Chilli Peppers yet... : )
Hi Dachef -- welcome back! Is this movie icon day?
we could also include poisons "unskinny bop" hehe
Bon Jovi... *drifts into dreamlike state*
AAAaahhh! Found it! Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen. Conversation closed, I think. Aye thankyou. Hi Cybernan!!!
cyber...I believe movie icon day is Friday or Saturday (1/6 or 1/7)...
...how about The Cult's Resurrection Joe?
bye boreetos!
dont know that one, but ive always wanted to dance to "fire woman"
anywho, time for me to get going, so i gotta wrap up here... prolly jump online when i get home. :)
laters Evan : )
See ya, eva.....
later frosty
Thanks, eastern. I finished last night -- just checking in!
bye eva, hum 'fire woman' to yourself on the way home, and see if you start 'dancing'. If so, then thats the one for you.
Have a great day, everyone -- back at the flip. :)
bye eva...
I'm down to 10...hit the blank wall so hard my ears are ringing!! any help on the st 6 or the wr 5 ? I am also missing 2 of the pa 5...I have the cowboy friends...help?
norad - st 6 - think of a football st _____
st6 is plural of sports arenas wr5, add a letter to your wr4
Thx so much EB and HT, got them.... :)
wr 5 - add a consonent to your 1st wr 4...(another version of 'past tense) pa 5 - think of Spanish for priest...change the last letter... pa 5 - rearrange the Spanish priest - makes it sound like a birthday pa ____
evandine used a wooooord, evandine used a woooord...
Wow EB, thanks for the help...you know, I could have sworn I monkey typed a couple of those...oh well...also looking for the last two ga's...ga 4/7 and ga 5/16

norad - ga 4 - think of 'throwing down the ga....let (and take off the tlet) ga - German mathematician and astronomer known for his contributions to algebra, differential geometry, probability theory, and number theory.
Norad, the ga4/7 - think hollow-cheeked without the T The ga5 usually has a De in front of it for computer screens lol : )

Hello everyone.....just popped in to say am still alive !!!....can't stay...but Happy New year Everyone...see you all soon I hope !!!

Hello All: Son home from college we are fighting over computer time so haven't had a chance to chat!! Happy New Year to all:)
Hi karys! : )
Hi lola :D
Hi speed! : )
welcome back lola...Merry 11th day of Christmas and Happy New year to all...am closing in on the finish with 4 words left...
Hi doogle : )
*lola prepares champers for norad's spectacular finish*
Hi Lola. I've only babbled something like 3 times in the last 5 or 6 weeks and have decided it's time. Good to see so many friendly faces still around!
don't open the bottle yet lola, I've only finished 5 since August!!!
Hi Karys, Doogle, Speed : ) HNY all Lo, if i'm quite it's because i'm duffing up a few other countries in CIII lol
Oops, too late norad, I've already cracked it! You have to finish now ; )
ooohhhh the pressure... :}
I love the despotic ruler in you babe! ; )
Heya, Anj. I owe you many thanks for the Peter F. Hamilton recommendation! I've finished Reality Dysfunction and the Neutronium Alchemist and have finally started Naked God. Pretty amazing stuff! Do you remember who the other author was you recommended at the time as being Simmonsian?
Come on norad! *whispers* I can't sqeeze into the lycra uniform any more... is it okay if I just shake the pom-poms??
pom poms will do just fine, don't want any straining going on at the beginning of a new year!
Hey Doogle, you're welcome. I think the other guy I mentioned was Alistair Reynolds. I've just got Simmons' Olympos for Xmas : ) That's next on the read list after Hamilton's Judas Unchained
Please help with DA i cant see it
Anj - is CIII Civ III? If so (or if not, for that matter), I just got the long-awaited Civ IV, which I'm sad to report can barely run on my not-terribly-outdated system. :(
Yvo, which one? : )
the one with the boys name
hi doogle, Karys, yvo...
Yvo, think 'Oh, da*** boy, the pipes, the pipes are playing' and add another vowel. Pluralise for the 6 : )
whoops...hi speed!
Doogle, yes it's Civ III: Conquests and it uses up 100% of my cpu every time it refreshes : / I daren't get Civ IV until I have the processing power to handle it. The games coming out now are probably beyond my mother board's antiquated capacity too lol
Lola thank you thank you finally got it
Lola, you can breath easy...I finished with the help of A2Z...thx for the support and all the clues babblers...I'll take a quick sip of that champers and then off to get some housework done...
You are very welcome : )
Woo! Well done norad! *lola hands norad ice cold glass of champers*
Anj - Civ IV is lovely, but it crashes my system constantly. I've got a pentium IV, but I think that my video card is where I simply fall short. I actually enjoyed several fun weeks of Civ II recently. Nice simple interface, fast, and a trip down memory lane.
lovely reward lola, just the thing to send me off...anyone need clues before I go?
I've read some good reviews about it Doogle. I still enjoy the good old days as well tho'... nothing like a quick burn with Civ II on my PS2 to while away a day or two lol
Hello all just spent 10 mins or so reading back thro the log - LOL!!! So glad I wasn't on line then, I got stuck after the Beatles! I have to sing the songs I like to people to find out who's singing them, never mind their titles!
Hi snowy! : )
hi snowy... don't feel bad...often I can sing the entire song...not guess the title nor who the band/singer is!!
EB, it's probably Coldplay lol : )
LOL!
Hi Lola & Eastern. - I dont know alot of bands - I think because I like talk radio & only listen to music in the car. we very rarely play music at home. Husband stopped at Bobby Vee & Billy Fury! LOL My poor kids could sing every 60s song ever written!
my father always stated 'driver's choice' on long car rides...his favorites - Frank, the Temptations, the Platters...
Oh my dad always played Frank, Tony Bennet & the Inkspots! I could sing all those!LOL
I must be going...I may be back later to chat...still have a few things to finish up for work... 'ta for now!!
My dad always used to get me to make up a few tapes for long car trips and there always seemed to be one song that became the 'anthem' for that trip. Just hearing one of those songs now sends me right back to our road trips.
bye EB - later!
Lo, Johnny Clegg by any chance???
They're great those songs are'nt they? When I was a very little girl he used to sing 'Volare' & 'Catch a Falling Star' to me all the time - still make me blub without fail!
Yup, that was one of them...'The crossing'. Another was '500 miles' by the Proclaimers.
Anyone hear of Doug and the Slugs, I have a lot of albums so hubby bought me a new turntable for Xmas so I have been having fun listening to my old albums
No I haven't speed. Are they a 60's band?
for those of you who were on earlier, I'm sitting in my office listening to an OLD Cd and what comes on Man2Man - Male Stripper. Has that been added to the CD??
Sorry Speed, they have passed me by... I don't think vinyl got the same market as cds ended up with. No internet for a start... : /
lol lupe! : D
They were in the 70's always one of my favorites but not many people heard about them
woohoo and done!! good evening people :o)
I have heard of them, speed, but I don't know what they sound like.
Hi Bobsta!
Yo Bobsta! HNY me old mucker : )
BOBSTA!!! Happy new year mate! : )
Good news we already got a new addition to the house a 12 week old purebred shepherd rescued from the Animal Rescue League, we named her Shadow, great puppy!!!!
I think it's about time for the New Christy Minstrels to have a revival! An album of theirs was one of my favorites as a very young boy in the early '60s. I finally found an old LP of it recently, put it on, and was amazed/amused at how dreadful it was. Exactly the kind of stuff that A Mighty Wind pokes fun at.
hey LOLA!! And Anj happy new year to you both and of course everyone else too ;o)
Aww, that's great speed! Give her a lola snuggle for me : )
Congrats on the new arrival Speed : ) Steady Doogle, you will be putting your finger in your ear next lol ; )
Well, it's time for me to say goodnight to you all. See you tomorrow : ) Anj, 'nite babe, sweet dreams. I'll mail you tomorrow (((xxx))) : )

It amazes me people continue to live there wi5 fake hair piece is called a wi* + "Love *** Marriage, love *** marriage...they go together like a horse *** carriage..." Just drop off the last constanant at the end of the missing word

Hi all! justs popped in to find my last ten before dinner hopefully :)
Yay Hurshy!!!! :)
Hello GW :)
thank you missyme! you were so helpful!
hi wolfie!!! i have about 15...i've had a 4 year old in my office all day....8)
Yw Hurshy :)
way to go hurshy....cotton candy...what flavor?? 8)
Who is the 4 yo, ren?
just need the othe Di/6 not numbers
Ren with four-year-olds I take a picture and turn it upsidedown and tell the little one to draw what he sees. When we turn the picture rightsideup he's amazed at how well he's done
lol ren - um, bubblegum maybe?
my niece....and she likes me to watch her dvds and color w/ her - so i have a newly decorated office...8)
hurshy - that's a really good flavor!!!
Di/6 you di*** the ice cream cone in chocolate
Ren -- sounds like an entertaining day! :D
see, i find cotton candy very icky, which is why i used it as my symbol of how i feel...
daddy - I just got the word from a clue in the log. Just scroll down a bit. If not on this page, it will be on the next back.
never a dull moment....makes for long nights - but what the heck!!! it's fun!!
I like cotton candy...but the stuff you can buy in the stores is stale-tasting to me
mab - how's sophie?
And ren, it helps to keep us young -- doesn't feel like it at the time, but it does! ;D
hi mab!!! hurshy...i know - i usually say i feel like a potato chip - kind of crumbly... but spun, sticky cotton candy is a great description...mind if i use it?
gi6?
go right ahead, ren!
we have a carnival down the freeway... i could run down and get us some fresh!!!
Daddy before you go crazy over that di word...look at dr5/14 and drop the "r"
gi 6 is a brand of jeans
yes mab - we forgot to ask you last night about sophie.
gi6/24 gi4/6 without the "s" + I'm not a f"ano" of certain types of music
hurshy, Sophie is fine - it must have been an ear infection, as you wisely counseled. I, of course, was sure she had a brain tumor. Just today she is fully well. Thank you for allaying my fear.
Glad to hear it, mab!
yay, i'm so glad she's better!
ty for the gi
mab that is really good news about sophie 8)
I'm glad she's better, mab. Having you're little one sick and they can't tell you where it hurts is heart-breaking. Little one's will grab there's ears, though, when they have an infection
and now that i know sophie's all right, i had best be going. good night, hugs all around!
lol missy - sophie is a cat
Me too. Now she is keen to go outside. No matter how many times I show her its drippy and snowy and cold, she keeps wanting to look again.
LOL!!! Well...still...the poor little thing!
Night Hurshy :)
G'night hurshy! (*hug*)
(((hurshy)))) sleep well - no more icy sticky cotton candy!!! 8)
Good night hurshy. Bye for now all, must do some errands.
My beagle shakes his head when he has an ear infection. Beagles get them often. It's an allergic reaction to their environment the way we get allergies in our sinuses
that sure is a cute pinto pony mab 8)
bye mab :)
bye mab - see ya later
So long mab! (*hug*)
Time for dinner! I'll be back for my last 3 later... ...after Kristianna goes to bed :) (*hugs all around*)
I was listening to the original broadcast of War of the World's last night, (the radio broadcast where New Jersey was supposedly attacked by Martians that scared the poo out of everyone). I guess I would have had to live back then to see why anyone would get shook up and take it as real because I couldn't see it.
K GW cya later :)

sorry, aknitter -- take the last gi4, drop the s and add a spanish word for year
we won't leave you ak 8)
so what is the baby report?
The baby's favorite book is called Good Night, Good Knight -- her cousin gave it to her and ever since it has been the last story we read before turning out the light - then it goes in the crib so she can read it in the AM when she wakes up -- as a result it has gotten quite dogeared :)
the way of ALL good books!!!
Well -- we got a fresh copy of the book with Xmas money so that we wouldn't have to worry about the book falling apart -- we just got it yesterday and when she saw the other copy in Mommy's hands, she grabbed the other one and they were reading the book together! -- I was at work, but apparently it was incredibly adorable ;)
ah i miss the days of reading with the kids. now if my son sat in my lap he'd crush me!
looks like ak has lots of help, so logging off til the flip -- see you all later!
and always have 2 copies of your favorite book!!! that is really sweet wolfie!!!
See you later, c-nan! (*hug*)

Thanks ren -- I had to share --- The other book we read tonight was 'Tikki Tikki Tembo' and I am impressed because she already knows Tikki's whole name!
wolfie - great mind for such a wee one!!
I am sooo hoping that this love of books lasts through school :)

Wow. It brings back memories. Enjoy making them Grey Woulfe...they pass so quickly

Hi renfield. I still have 20 to go so I haven't been chatting. I just checked back in the log to see if there were any clues. I can't see both the grid and the chat log on my computer at the same time.
wolfie - daddy's are very important to girls!!
ok - let us know if you need a clue.
hi all. Can I have a clue for the ts5?
Ren -- I know, I am hoping that I will be able to properly balance between her and my son once he is born --- my greatest concern is that I will neglect to give one of them the attention that they deserve

ok wolfie!!
hi I need ou 4/5 and ou5/12 Thanks
ou 4 and 5 -- there is an airfresher by the same name and the plural
GW: With your kids, just always be there for them in all activities at school and in your community. There was never a time that there was a school activity or a game that we were not there. Sometimes, there were conflicts with our two kids as far as activities either school or community things, so we would split up and I would go to one with one kid and my husband would go with the other. Next week, we would switch kids, if there was a conflict. And, we have two very successful kids. In our day we didn't have books to read, we just went by the seat of our pants and our hearts. Loosen up and enjoy each moment with your kids. Enjoy
ou 4 = opposite of in + insert crooked consonent beftore last latter then make it plural for 5
ou4 -- to eject from a position
THANKS
well good night all, off to k1 and p2 or 3
nite ak - se you tomorrow!!!
Thanks JoJo -- I will do my best -- and while I love books, I have yet to touch one on parenting cos I feel that it is too subjective an experience to learn from a book -- I will gladly accept input from other parents, but not a book :)
G'nite, ankitter -- 'til tomorrow (*Hug*)
GW: All kids need is to know that their parents love them and enjoy doing things with them. You can direct them with your love and participation in all walks of their lives while in school. Books, are good, but real life is better. You are a good parent by just trying to learn. You'll do just fine, I am not concerned a bit about your parenting skills.
oops! aknitter, not ankitter --- *blush*
any hints on my last pa word? 5/14
pa5/14 -- a sorta phonetic spelling of birthday pa***
both of the last pa 5's build from the last pa 4/6 + different vowels
PA5/14 Spanish for priest (sp. diff) PA5/14 On New Year's Let's Pa--- (sp diff)
Wow I am done!!!!
or pa5/14 -- plural of the pa4/6
way to go mas!!!!!!11
that did it, the priest one ty!!
hooray for mas
I'm back. Thanks all. I just had to go do a little happy dance.
Yayy, mas!!! (*happy hug and dance*) PS - *refresh*
sweet!!! wolfie!!!
ok. I give. What happens when I refresh?
I changed my icon -- I went for a cute one -- refresh will let you see it :)
very cute GW.
SO cute. I am going to post my dog sometime when I figure out how to do it so you can see just how much he looks like all of your wolf icons.
clue for the in6?
in + wr 4 (what you do to presents w/ colored paper)
thank you ren
y/w doxy!
I'm looking forward to it, mas --- It's actually pretty easy to do -- if you have a copy of the pic on your computer, go to your profile page In the upper right corner is a square for your icon with a button that says edit click that and you get a screen that asks you where to look -- you can either type in a web address or use the second option which is to upload the image from your PC Hit the browse button and then find the pic on your system and click open -- then hit the upload button and you are done -- Hit refresh before you back out to be sure it looks good and you are all set :)
Thanks GW. I am computer dumb so I will pass your instructions on to my husband.
Ok, mas, but make sure you watch -- once you see how simple it is, you will be icon swapping with the rest of us ;D
Iwill. I need to make my husband feel like he is still useful, though. I'm always asking him computer questions and he is so happy to know more than me.
just one to finish! pi6/30?
got , all done. Going to bed now, any quick clues needed first?
PI6 is a really funny spelling for flying rats(birds in San Francisco)
pi6 -- term for spoken broken english --usu by non native speakers

oh mas!!! puppster looks like wolfie!!!
mas -- he looks like such a lovable mush!!!
My dog is 11 years old. He is a St. Bernard/Huskie mix and is over 200 lbs. He has cancer and we are so sad that it is not opperable. We have left it up to my son to decide when it is time.
We have had many dogs but he has been by far the best.
So sorry to hear about the cancer, mas -- (*hug*) --- how tall is he?
I have never measured him. I would guess his shoulders are about 30-33 inches. His name is Butch.
I'm going to go try to change my icon now. This opens up a whole new area of discovery. Thanks GW.
YW --- LOL ;D
Can anyone give me a clue for the first two gi's? It's all I have left.
well that took longer than expected...Anj has taught me how to turn bitmaps into jpegs.....so here's sumo cat. Mas very sorry bout the cancer,I know how hard it is to lose loved pet friends,had to have my last girl put down at 20...still miss her,best long term relationship I ever had. Bear hug...
holy wow tbear that is one big cat (tabbycat- think of an uncomfortable garment, a gi****, take off last two letters
Renfield...what a sweetheart...those eyes..
Hello. I'm back for my final 11. Then I change into an 80's movie icon, I'm told?
tabby -- gi4 -- a beam used in constructing buildings is a gi**er add an s for th 5
Thanks, LeslieAnn. I'm finished and off to bed. :-)
harpjane so 'today's' 80s thingy eh...?
I was hoping someone could confirm that for me!
tbear - suma is a cutie!! he looks like a picture on a card!!
right tbear - his eyes are so beautiful!!! he can look right through you...of course we all know you aren't anything until you've been ignored by a cat!!!
ga5/16? The last one in the list?
Renfield,he's not mine but I'm very fond of him.....My current two are Cleopatra and Olliflations....Cleo and Ollie....theysort of have a love/ hate relationship,he loves her and wants to play,she doesn't so he spends his time winding her up and she growls until I cuddle her...it's a no win situation,but they're gunna have to get on with it...
just got it jane... add a ship, say the *** arizona to the ga
this is from babbler's louis vuitton steamer trunk: 05 Jan: Seasonal/Free choice 06 Jan - 80s movies (for movieman)
Thanks. I actually KNOW that word. I have an old TV that periodically needs de-ga5/16-ing! Ishould have gotten it.
hi ya'all......
Mamabera,they told me you were poorly...are you better?
i had an ollie who would carry his food bowl around - his name was oliver twist, but we called him ollie 8)
mama - are you...dancing???
Hi Mama! -- you're on late tonight.... Kirsten was asking if you had been around, cos she wanted to know how you are doing :) I do too! (*HUG*)
hi tbear!!!! slightly better..... thanks for asking!!!
OK. So, today is only the 4th, right? So it's free choice today AND tomorrow? FRIDAY is 80's movie day?
When we got Ollie they'd called him cloud.....P L E A S E...my neighbours already think I'm mad,can just see me out there calling CLOUD.....
I wish I was renfield!!!! I LOVE to dance... I saw that tomorrow's theme was 80's movies so I went icon hunting a little early....
oops.... i guess i better put this lovely couple away for 2 days.......
that's what her hand bag sez...but i'll do movie if you want to!!! mama's already dancing !!!
wait - i wasn't here today!!! maybe babbler made a change
Guys...please what the *** arizona...going mad here?!
Hi GW!! I am a little better. I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow but I called and told them I'm taking the rest of the week off too. We are over deadline now and I just think I need the extra time. Thanks for being concerned - Kirsten, too! *hugs*
it's how the United States names her military Ships - like hms
tbear-it's a type of magnetic flux.
tbear - any United States Navy vessell begins with the letters *** - add that to the ga***
tbear -- the ga5 in question is a measure of electromaganetic density -- 5th vowel + double squiggle
I didn't realize 80's movie day was not until Friday... I will go change *close your eyes*
maybe babbler changed days - you can leave patrick up if you want....
Thanku...of course....doh!
Patrick can stay forever as far as I'm concerned
Please REFRESH..... I am giving myself the "icon-ically confused codfish*
That'll do mama til we sort out the confusion,gunna go find a bear to join yours
mama - you took away patrick.....
not gone..... he's tucked away..... someplace safe..... will be back......
Bear for a bear Mama...refresh
Well GreyWoulf, that took over an hour to figure out how to change my icon. Your instructions were great but I'm not. Won't be doing that anytime soon.
Who's the cutie..mas? Was worth the trouble.....
mas -- you are too rough on yourself -- it was less than 30 mins -- and remember practice makes perfect! so who's cutie?
cute, mas!!!!! tbear - is that the bear from Jungle Book????
Absolutely worth every minute. My first and only(so far) grandson
he's a cute mas!!!
GW - how is work going? Have you been busier now with the holidays over and picking up more hours?
ren - cute kitty!!!!
A little Mama -- but not so much yet -- but I am not complainging too much -- more focused on the arrival of my son in less than a month :)
That's where your focus should be!!! Very exciting times!!
And speaking of him, time for me to rub a back and then turn in --- I am actually very tired and shall forego the flip tonight :) (*Hugs to all*) (*Extra for Mama, Ren, and mas*) G'nite all!

I was watching that too Ren. I didn't much care who won but by the noise around here, my family must have.

MamaBear -I had a really bad virus that included a cough that just wouldn't go away. I finally had to take several days off work and just sleep.

They are not singing anything Ren...Money was involved
mas - well I've been off work since last week Wednesday, and not going back until next Monday, and not setting the alarm ... and I am still coughing.... so I guess I am giving it my best shot!
