anyone having problems with the server? I entered the 9 letter word and it took it but I got no points for it. I then refreshed the page and the word vanished on me????

12:40 am

Hiya Cool... mine seems OK!

12:41 am

s 7/36 x2

12:41 am

hey Debs:)

12:42 am

Coolbear -- that means it wasn't a valid word -- gets confused and does that sometimes. If there is no point value for the word, even though it shows in the list, it's not a word.

12:43 am

I wonder where everyone is tonight?

12:43 am

I rentered the word Cyber:) and it took it this time..go figure:)

12:44 am

Maybe they've all gone to bed early or having a lay in depending where they are.....

12:44 am

we're sitting quietly scratching our heads nan ... :)

12:44 am

Cyber???????? There's no Y??????

12:44 am

12:46 am

The 9 letter word begins with a D

12:47 am

got it -- tried it before, but it wouldn't take it the first time!

12:48 am

Now I need to find one more (like even numbers!)

1:02 am

111 -- and I really am going to bed, this time! :)

1:04 am

Good morning babblers, is there a clue for the de 9?

Hi Dianne... thanks!

4:17 am

Hi Dianne!

any clues needed before I go and get lost in the tennis!?

4:19 am

not yet thanks, I'm still on the 1st pass.

4:19 am

When I was on last evening (my time) I saw a post that said mambear had some big problem. Had to leave to go to a Chinese New Year party so I have no idea what happened. Do you know what happened?

4:23 am

I read back in the log - marujana was found by the police in her son's bedroom and he was arrested, she was very shaken up.

4:25 am

Oh my goodness - what a mess. Do you know how old her son is - teen? - adult?

4:26 am

No idea I'm afraid.

4:30 am

I can't imagine what she is going through. I remember when we got a call that our teenage son was at the police station after the police caught him and a bunch of guys stealing a Christmas tree off the lot - they were driving past and reached out a grabbed it as a lark - some lark!

4:37 am

Sorry Dianne, work is getting in the way again, must be off :)

4:43 am

Know the feeling. Take care.

Dianne, Mamabear is very shaken... her son is 19 and got taken away in handcuffs! That would be the worst thing ever to see!! I have emailed her and sent her my thoughts!! She is so distressed... we are family to her so we should support her as much as possible!! Her email is on her bio if you have the time and heart

4:46 am

As I said before, I just can't imagine what she is going through. I will look for her address - thanks.

I will be on and off over the course of the day, so will be suggesting that mamabear get support from her "online family"... thanks for asking about her!!

Morning all

Hi Ros! nice grid today!

I hope to finish this one. I was too tired yesterday with too much to do.

4:55 am

MRP - I went through the log for yesterday but the little "beanies" that you can click on for the bios aren't shown. So - I can't get the address. If you e-mail her please tell her I send my best. Thanks.

Oh dear... ! I missed one word because my CPU was being overbearing and couldn't enter the words fast enough.... grrrrrrr

4:57 am

Dianne, go to rankings and look at #819 under the cream o'the crop

Is Mamabear ok?

her address is mamabear3cubs@yahoo.com I will pass on your kindest regards too!!

5:00 am

MRP - just got it - thanks for the directions :)

5:00 am

i have emailed mama & sent her hugs and blessings. Can't begin to imagine what she's going thru

Hi Poo! Mama is so lovely... she is loved here too!! You are a kind and caring person!!

5:06 am

mrp - we are all family here! you are so thoughtful! i would suggest putting your babble name in the subject line so she'll know where all this mail is coming from

Have sent mamabear an email

mamabear said "It never ceases to amaze me since I have discovered Babble, how caring and considerate most of the people are in there. I feel many times I am receiving more care and concern from people I have never even met than from people in my own real world" That is why we are here! We are ALL supportive!! This is a beautiful set of people with so much caring and support for others!

5:14 am

Just sent mama an e-mail. We can't be of any help BUT we can let her know that people around the world are hoping for the best and thinking of her.

here here Dianne!!

5:22 am

Have just e-mailed MAMABEAR, hope her 'in' box doesn't get overloaded!

5:24 am

Well - gotta run - meeting my honey for happy hour and a bite of dinner. Catch you all tomorrow.

5:26 am

Hi all.Just read about Mamabears problem,When the next person e mails her,please can you tell her that her Welsh friends are thinking about her.ty

bye dianna Hi ExWren!!

Hi Cait! will do!

5:32 am

When one of my sons was a teenager, he got into some bad company and was a 'punk' and I often despared of him, but he is now a loving responsible family man. Lets hope mama will one day look back on this episode in the same way.

5:34 am

It often works that way.Lets hope he has had a big enough shock to make a difference.

wonderful people!!... I must bid you farewell... the tennis is hotting up and I have work in the morning!! Pass the love on to mamabear and see you all tomorrow!!

5:38 am

Bye mrpresident lol x

5:40 am

toodles mrp!

6:14 am

Can anyone help with a hint to the in6/24 please?

6:15 am

fmitch you have the in5?? add a vowel at the end

6:16 am

I have, and I did and it worked! many thanks P'sMom

6:18 am

yw - glad i could help!

6:27 am

Hi everyone, Any clues for the ce5? It should be obvious as there aren't that many options, but I can't find it. Also the 2 es's

6:28 am

Its' always interesting, with the new day, to look at the icons and attempt to figure out what the theme is. Today has me stumped....circus?

6:29 am

use common .. as they say change the first letter

6:29 am

if you have the in7/32 just knock off the 1st 2 letters. If you haven't got it the in7 is something they burn in churches.

6:30 am

well done Eva - it is circus today.

6:30 am

DUH! Now why didn't I see that before? Thanks guys!

6:32 am

es,s think racecourse. change 1st letter and extend the 2nd one

6:37 am

oggy, sorry but the only things I associate are ovals and elipses and neither seems to be what you mean.

6:38 am

think escort take out a letter and extend for the 2nd word

6:40 am

Thanks! That got me the 7 - is sthe 5 related?

6:40 am

got the 5-thought I'd tried that, hmmmmm

6:41 am

yes minus the last 2 letters

6:42 am

stuck on the 2nd co5/12 and looking back at earlier clues isn't helping .. pretty please :)

6:42 am

Now how about ic5/14 and in 5/14?

6:43 am

fmitch-ladies undergarment minus an "r"

6:45 am

in5/14 - anvil shaped bone in the ear. Sounds a bit like the people that lived in the Andes but with a different vowel for the 4th letter. Thanks for the co clue Eva.

6:46 am

in5/14...in + to swear

6:46 am

Hi tbear, like your clue, much more straight forward, how are you?

6:47 am

Thanks FMitch & tbear! How about that ic5/14? I'll trade whatever I have-7 left to go.

6:48 am

For some bizarre reason I knew the ear one...maybe the fact that trivia like that is rattling around in my brain accounts for not being able to remember what I went into the grocery store for?

6:49 am

ic + a consonant + a word that means you and I.

6:49 am

Good day every1. Scrolling thru the log, I read about mamabears woes. Everything has a way of working out. I was actually the 1 who called the police on my oldest. I coudn't get him to see the light. But when the police come in and search your house and haul you off, you realize it's not just mom being cranky. This is really bad. It worked for him..I hope it works for mamabears errant one.

6:50 am

ive finished.

6:51 am

WTG oggy!!!

6:51 am

WTG oggy!!! still got 42 to find here so am going to try and stop chatting and get back to the grid before I have to get back to work!

6:51 am

mornin all! :D

6:52 am

Mornin' Evadine :)

6:53 am

oops, evanadine

6:53 am

heh, mornin gramma

6:56 am

It must be terribly hard for mamabear. Not knowing the circumstances, and whether there were other problems, I can't help but wish that we would move past these awful, wasteful and harsh responses to drug use. Not that it doesn't sometimes indicate other problems, or keep people from solving them in more creative ways, but our jails are filled with people who souldn't be there and who come out much worse for the wear. There are so many far more destructive things going on in our world. The fact that a kid smokes some dope doesn't necessarily mean that s/he is in trouble. Many healthy and highly constructive, bright and successful individuals smoked dope (without inhaling of course) in their youths. Anyway, having a child addrested is awful and I hope that mamabear and her son come out of this without too much harm.

6:57 am

I could use help on the se5/14 and 6/21.

6:58 am

Have the ce5/12 but can't find the ce 4/5

6:58 am

Oh, Hi everyone!!!

6:59 am

peri-the letter(pl)

6:59 am

Eva, don't misunderstand me..I'm not that much of a hard as*. These were desperate times for us. He was failing in school, stealing, the list goes on and on. We had tried everything we could.

6:59 am

I'm back....and appropriately dressed for today... Hi Fmitch,I'm good and you too I hope. Hello to everyone.

7:00 am

thanks, Eva, was racking my poor brain and it turns out to be a really word. Boy do I feel dumb.

7:00 am

meant : really simple word

7:03 am

clue for the ci6/24?

7:03 am

peri -- a type of concrete block

7:04 am

gramma.....I have teenagers and one is 'playing' with bud at the moment....things have changed..her moods,attitude and behaviour,but of course some of that is normal at this age. I am keeping a beady eye on things but just wanted to say I completely approve of what you did and would do the same myself if I felt things were getting out of hand. Hard,very hard but life is tough and love must sometimes be tough too...

7:04 am

thanks evanadine

7:06 am

anyone have hints for the 9 yet?

7:07 am

Thanks tbear. It was a long time ago. He's happily married, a great son and of course a counselor.

7:40 am

Hi everyone! I've checked my calendar twice and I have no teaching duties today! Babble ON!

7:50 am

mornin deutsch!

7:54 am

Howdy, Evanadine! Loving your clues!

7:55 am

havent given many...heh...but im glad theyre helpful!!

7:57 am

I've only found 29 words in half an hour. Any clues are welcome at this point. BTW, I changed my icon. I think this new one is easier to see.

7:58 am

my computer is being tempermental with showing me updated icons...even if i refresh, sometimes itll show them, sometimes it keeps the old ones...

8:00 am

ok, heres a hint thatll give you a few words (i think i got a 5, 2 7's and the 9 from this one) think of a nice womans shirt made out of silk or chiffon, then remove the B for the L5...and work off of that for the others. :)

8:00 am

but I see you've changed your icon. What are you now? I'm circus zebras.

8:01 am

mine is a freak show. :D

8:01 am

everyone else can see mine, but im still seeing my vocano from yesterday..h.ehe

8:01 am

i'm from cirque du soleil!

8:02 am

nice one une!

8:02 am

Ah, yes, of course! good clue. so far I have two words. Still working on it, though!

8:03 am

Une, I love the cirque. I've been twice.

8:03 am

hello babblers... what's the icon theme for today???

8:03 am

circus!!

8:04 am

christa -- were at the circus today!

8:04 am

Hi Christa, Circus is today's theme, if Iremember correctly.

8:04 am

I love it too--only had the chance to see them once so far . . . but of course they're on TV a lot . . . not the same!!

8:06 am

No, seeing it on TV isn't the same, but I love to see how they put it all together.

8:08 am

well, finished up the entire right-hand side of my grid...hehe

hi everyone!!! how's today's grid?

8:10 am

Hi gramma-sorry to leave yoiu unaswered there. I didn't think you were being harsh at all. I have been in similar siuations myself-once left our foster daughter in jail for 3 days just to let the natural consequences sink in because the situation was desperate. There are times when being a hard as* is the most loving and compassionate thing, but our legal system is not loving, kind nor wise most of the time. Most of us use some method to alter our states of mind, living in a very hard world (food, alcohol, dope, sex, TV). I wish that the world we offer our kids could be less stressful, alienating, more creative and challenging in good ways. But it often isn't. So hard to help them make their ways safely through.

8:10 am

Hi temple! The grid is slow for me today. But it's early here. I'm sure that's to blame. hehe

8:11 am

temple -- i havent found too many tough words yet (course i still have 60 to go!) but the words are proving tough to find today...at least for me, anyway...

8:12 am

Eva, I've used all those methods myself. I did notice though that you left off babble from the list..:)

8:13 am

Just 5 to go! se 5/ 14 se 6/ 21 te 5/ 10 (have the plural of the boob tube) te 5/ 10 ti 7/ 36 help will be much appreciated ! And I'll be glad to give clues for anything else.

i don't know... i thinki'll pass today...the whole experience has changed so much...it's just not the same (luv u guys still)...see babanon discussion for details...

8:13 am

How right you are gramma!

8:14 am

things ok TO?

8:15 am

Eva, I'm curious about the color of your pocketbook. Every1 seems to be blue or pink; yet, yours appears green.

8:16 am

gramma -- hers is black -- it means she didnt fill out a gender, or at least it hasnt "taken" in her profile. :)

i'm good, thanks... : ) studying for exams tomorrow takes much time

8:20 am

Thanks for pointing out my genderlessness. Not a bad place to be, but I went in and clicked so we'll see if I'm pink now.

8:20 am

Eva, happy to "see" you! I need just 111 words more, but anyway I'm glad with my 50 I have!!! Hugs

8:20 am

Nope. I sort of like being green anyway. Plantlike.

8:21 am

Buenos dias Elena!

8:21 am

now ive finished the top, bottom, and right side of my grid...heh...looks like a reversed letter C! just left and center to tackle now!

8:22 am

You've learned a lot of Spanish!!! perfect!!!

8:22 am

How about those se's folks? Just can't monkey type them!

8:25 am

ok guys, 50 words left to go, but i gotta go get some work done... be back later!

8:26 am

later days, evandine!

8:27 am

Okay, no deus ex machina is appearing for those last words, so think I'll give what brain cells remain a break and come back later.

8:28 am

Eva, I have only two se's. the past tense of to look at something and the small religious off shoot blah, I'm no help

Nothing wrong with MPFC : ) Hey can youy remember the name of an all-human circus that used to tour? It was a little avant garde...lots of flames and metal... It was something like Circus Rambert but I don't think that's right because they were more a dance thing... : /

8:54 am

*refresh* I've spent aaaaaaaages looking for this!! I couldn't find it last night. Monty Python's Flying Circus - The Hand! And now for something completely different..... :D

8:55 am

who me? Cirque du Soleil?

8:55 am

Now that reminds of Yellow Submarine : )

8:56 am

*stamps feet* :/

8:56 am

Cirque du Soleil...it doesn't sound tight : / It certainly isn't Jim Rose either...

8:57 am

I know, i'm a Blue Meany... : /

8:57 am

*refresh again* I'm not awake yet. I had a mega mega sleep and I'm still dozy. I'll have a think after more tea, Anj :)

8:58 am

ToeSock, are you still here? I got distracted. Whiplash can be very bothersome. Hope you feel better soon.

8:59 am

Sleep?! You're sleeping??? Yay! : )

9:00 am

(((Toes!!))) Sorry to hear your news. Whiplash doesn't sound good. I hope it's not a bad one and you recover quickly. Are you ok?

9:01 am

Anj - I had like...... eleven hours!!! Eleven wonderful hours and fabby dreams too! No interruptions. No post. Noone trying to convert me. No deliveries. Wonderful!!! :D

9:01 am

Hi Deutsch : ) ((((Toes)))) You ok dear? :

9:01 am

ahh, i love sleeping like that! i often wake up tired though, from too much sleep!

9:02 am

Babs, that's a page turned for sure : )

9:02 am

ok anj, keeper of the Ds -- i have D4, D7, D9 -- which am i missing?

9:02 am

Eva, I love sleeping like that, but I find I function better on a regular 6 hours when i'm in a routine.

9:03 am

Hi anj, I woke up too early and started the babble, but I'm hopelessly lost!

9:03 am

Thanks Anj, Evanadine. I've learnt not to be too hasty and just take each day as it comes. But I'm very very grateful for such a good sleep!! Yes, too much sleep does wipe you out. I'm glad today's grid isn't too big! and the laundry is done, and so is the shopping. : )

9:04 am

D 5/12

9:05 am

cyber, plural de4/5

9:05 am

babbler, come to my house! I could have slept in, but didn't. I have laundry to do. We're having leftovers tonight! LOL

9:05 am

hi Deutsch! I did all my jobs despite no sleep. You gotta do what you gotta do :/ But ok, I'll fly over and sort you out asap!! :D

9:06 am

Clue for in6/24 anyone?

9:06 am

thanks for the clues, cyber + anj. please pass me the fish!

9:07 am

babbler, LOL, I'll be at the airport! Must be starting to wake up. I finally got Evanadine's clue for the 9 letter!

9:08 am

lol Deutsch!! I'll be wearing a red carnation! :)

9:08 am

There's an in6/24? *ponders looking at BJ's list*

9:08 am

hydra -- think of another word for "PARDON me" then swap prefixes.

9:09 am

good clue, evan :)

9:09 am

Eva, that's a word...? : /

9:09 am

gt it right away, evanadine!

9:10 am

Thanks, evanadine.

9:10 am

just looked at the definition! lol! that's the state of my carpet after all the stamping I do in my tantrums! :D:D:D

9:10 am

im on a clue roll today!! just call me butta!

Sorry got busy for a moment there.... at work :D

9:10 am

Anj, I live with a coin collector. I should have known that word. *wow, I am such a geek*

((((((everyone)))))) How are we all today? =o)

9:11 am

...woss wrong with esix. That's near susix! : )

9:11 am

innit!!! :)

9:12 am

Toes, wide eyed and bushy tailed : ) How about you? How's the whiplash??

9:12 am

(((gentle for TSM)))

Yes, I am ok, just neck really hurting. When I went to the doctor they wanted to give me this awful pastic bright blue support thing but it actually hurt more to wear!

9:13 am

(((Toes))) I left you a message a little down the page too. How you doing? xxx

Aw Deutsch :) your sweet thank you!

9:14 am

Be very gentle with your injury, Toes. There are a lot of delicate structures in the neck area. Can you get another support thingy?

Babbler - Just read that thank you darlin! xxx

LOL! Anj I love your bushy tail! ;)

9:14 am

Toes, that's a precaution. Your atlas and axis are probably the most critical bones in your body so they need protecting at all costs... ...although babblehugs are the next best thing ; )

Babbler - yes I can. I work in an ER. Anj - Yes this is true. And I agree hugs from babble buddies are wonderful!

9:16 am

Good grief, Anj. I just had to google what you said so I could figure out what you meant! LOL

9:17 am

That's good, Toes. You take care, look after yourself, do as your doctor says and you'll be right as rain in no time! ((((( xxx ))))) :D

9:18 am

Anj, sounds like you're talking from experience. : /

9:21 am

...7 years of biology sticks in there somewhere... ...and I've fractured my skull twice. What scared me was that I was walking around and talking to people both times, and both times I was clinically unconscious and have no recollection of anything for 48 hours each time... : / It, er, kept me interested in head/neck injuries...

9:23 am

I'm braindead today. Can't see se6/21 anywhere.

9:25 am

Anj, What a terrible experience, both the 7 years of bio and the skull fractures. ((((mwah))))

9:25 am

I studied some biology too. And I've had a neck injury or two, but my God, I don't know anyone who's had an injury like yours! Glad you fully recovered! ((Anj))

9:25 am

hydra... SE + opposite of FROM + opposite of THEM

I got a shoulder and neck rub last night that was to die for and that helped a ton! And of course anything from a great looking well educated and witty man is nice :) lol

9:27 am

woot! Eva, you're on form today : ) Cheers folks... I did that when I was kind though. Fell over a wall when I was 7, and out of a tree when I was 12. Guess it knocked some sense into me lol : )

9:28 am

tsk! boys will be boys! *shakes head* ;)

9:28 am

awww y/w Toes *blushes* : )

Eva - awesome clue thank you

XoXoX Anj

9:29 am

Toes, a very gentle neck rub that's more like strokes worked wonders for me. The neck area really is that delicate. You probably already know but thought I'd share anyway. : )

9:29 am

Brilliat clue, Eva. The meaning is just like my boyfriend's hair.

It was fun last night wasn't it Anj? *kiss on the cheek*

9:30 am

still missing 38 words myself...hehe

9:30 am

today's grid seems harder than yesterday's or the day before's..... :/

9:30 am

ooh, anj, do you offer your services overseas?? ;)

9:31 am

babbler... i think the words themselves arent all that hard, theyre just VERY well-hidden today

Babbler, I completely agree! Feels more relaxing that way. I would hate to think that my neck was being pounded like a piece of beef! EH!

9:32 am

no kidding, Evan. I just found some very simple words that were wrapped around all higgledy piggledy : /

9:33 am

"higgledy piggledy" teeheehee

9:34 am

hehe, it's from a nursery rhyme, Evan, but I forget which. ahaa!!! Nursery Rhyme theme!!! who say's aye?

9:34 am

aye-aye!

9:34 am

lol Toes ; ) ((x)) Eva, I should do...lol. No, I really go with the back/neck rub thing. Last one put me to sleep for 30 mins. Delicious : )

9:34 am

something like 'higgledy piggledy my fat hen....' ... something. anyone remember?

9:35 am

Greetings & salutations, fellow Babblers... how goes the day?

9:35 am

Good morning!

9:36 am

my neck and shoulders are tight and sore today, Anj :/ Glad the grid isn't too big.

9:36 am

hi harp!, hi Jera! : )

9:38 am

Higgledy, piggledy, my black hen She lays eggs for gentlemen; Sometimes nine And sometimes ten, Higgledy, piggledy, my black hen. Load one in washer!

9:39 am

Hi harp, Hi Jera!

9:39 am

that's it, Deutsch!!! thank you!!! :D

9:39 am

Anything for you, Babbler!

9:40 am

awwww, shucks, Deutsch! :)

9:41 am

Ayes for nursery rhymes as a theme?

9:42 am

AYE AYE!!

9:42 am

Sure! *Looks for zebras in nursery rhymes*

9:42 am

Aye!! Hi Jera, Harp : )

9:44 am

*Sing a song of sixpence, a pocketful of rye. Four & twenty zebras baked in a pie...* Lol. Only Kidding! Hi everyone.

9:44 am

thanks. nursery rhymes scheduled for March. (decided to drop Ides of March... too contentious!) : )

9:44 am

hey Jac! : )

9:45 am

OOOH, I like that Jacula! Hi!

We should all just go to Anj's place for back rubs and wine. ROFL

9:46 am

see you there, Toes! : )

9:47 am

Zebra's baked in a pie! Can I get some mashers with that?

9:47 am

Ssh! I'm not really here; I'm vacuuming, sewing and ironing.

9:47 am

*Anj starts scouring 'net for aromatic massage oils*

9:47 am

the site seems to be slower to respond today. it was dreamy yesterday. is it just my connection or is everyone experiencing this?

9:48 am

Babs, yup, it's a little lethargic today... : /

9:48 am

ok Jac, I haven't seen you! *looks other way and whistles nonchalantly*

9:48 am

*Whispers* Yes, it is a little slow to respond to words today.

9:49 am

Jacula, are you here? funny I don't see you! I'm doing laundry today, so no time to babble! LOL

9:49 am

*whispers* Jac, did P have a good birthday yesterday? And did you see your glam rock day is in my handbag?

9:49 am

Hey, Babbling when you're working is nothing to be ashamed of. Look at me... slacking right out in the open.

9:50 am

Good morning everyone.

9:50 am

LOL Judi!! :D:D:D

9:51 am

Hi doxy! *thumps head* Why was I so slow to see the a's?

9:51 am

Hi Doxy : ) Glam Rock?? Did I ask for that?? ...mind's a blank... : /

9:52 am

did you order the oils, anj?

9:52 am

I only saw Jac's request for that, Anj. Did you want it too?

9:53 am

*Voice above sound of vacuum cleaning noises*. Deutsch - Nope. I'm not here. Babbler - Yes, thanks. We spoke about it yesterday (the themes). I said that you have more in your handbag than I do! P had a nice birthday, thanks. Judi - But I'm not Babbling, I'm working. *Looks innocent*

9:53 am

HAH!!! found the 9 all by myself!!! *big cheesy grin* :D

9:53 am

LOL! No, I read your last post wrongly...

9:53 am

oh yeeeeaaahh!! sorry, Jac, my brain was mashed yesterday due to poor sleep. : )

9:54 am

*yawn* i think my brain fell asleep for a while there!

9:55 am

Good for you, Babbler. I have 9 to go, but must have breakfast first so my stomach will stop growling. :)

9:55 am

Lavender oils at the ready : )

9:55 am

thanks cyber! : ) good going!

9:55 am

Yummy, Anj. I'll meet you at the airport!

9:56 am

Sure, Jacula... me too. *filing nails and drinks coffee while listening to radio*

9:56 am

*gets train over to Anj's, settles down on floor cross-legged, ready for neck/shoulder rub* very very gently, Anj! dead sore today :'(

9:59 am

re6/21 - what's that when it's at home?

Any clues on the 9 and 7 letter words? Please? :)

10:01 am

time for a break.... back shortly.... : )

10:01 am

10:03 am

9 word: getting rid of pests that produce nits

10:03 am

Those two words are related, Toes. What you do when you have to remove the nits.

10:08 am

I am having trouble getting my icon, Help anyone.

10:08 am

Thanks, harpjane! I typed it out of frustration and silliness!

10:09 am

Blessedly few vowels (for a change). There is a God.

10:10 am

*turns head slightly* What? *grumbles* Danged laundry is calling. *shouts to washer.* Keep your socks together I'm coming! BBL

Deutsch - I wish I could turn my head slightly! *whimpers*

10:18 am

doxylover, what part is the problem?

10:18 am

I don't know, I am trying to download a picture of my grandbaby and keep getting an error message.

10:20 am

if its not set as a jpeg it won't take is my guess. try a different picture

(((soft hug back))) I will. I just got a neck brace from one of the doctors. :) He put a smiley sticker on it lol

10:22 am

good for you, toesock! I take it the brace isn't bright blue?

10:22 am

greetings all.

10:22 am

sorry, I have to go to Dr.'s this a.m. c u later....

10:22 am

Toes, that will get you some major sympathy in your world. Just remember to look a bit vulnerable ; )

10:45 am

to 6/21 & 7 (plural) -- these were my last two!: to + consonant + one of the 7 deadlies

10:46 am

P.S.: the to 6 & 7 actually means alarm bell(s)

Hi lotti! : )

10:48 am

10:52 am

Hi, Hurshy and others. Been busy tracking down the C's. Moving onto the T's now.

10:52 am

ti 5/12: colour (drop a consonant into the normal ti word) ti 7/36: past tense of above ti 6/21: coloured (as in hair colouring)

10:54 am

Anyone seen the leader of the icon themes?

10:54 am

Thanks cyber

yes, thanks cyber! : )

10:57 am

If any of you see Babbler, I would like to suggest that we all have a bear icon ready to post the day that Mammabear comes back as a show of support.

10:59 am

help

11:01 am

good idea, cybernan Now I'm off. appliances are calling for assistance.

11:01 am

Good idea Cyber!! :) Did Mama have any idea how long she`d be gone??

11:02 am

...just in the middle of housework and stuff. thanks cyber, but I'm not so sure..... might be a bit too much?

11:03 am

In what way Babs??

11:09 am

happy Friday all :)

11:09 am

Hi Sherb :)

11:10 am

hi lotti :) ...nice topper!

11:12 am

I've had a think... ok.... Bear Hugs as theme tomorrow, for Mamabear? I'll move Atalante's Stars and Planets to another day.

11:12 am

Thanks Sherb....... don`t know what the bottoms are like though!!!! lol

any clues for se5/14 and se6/21 please?

11:14 am

Yay ((((Babs)))) You`re sooooo cool :) I didn`t know if you meant fitting it in the list would be too much, or it would be too much for Mama to handle!!!

11:14 am

Babbler -- do you know for sure that Mamabear will be back tomorrow?

11:16 am

no cyber, I don't. just guessing. would you rather wait?

11:18 am

se 5/14: Melody (change the vowel) + first person singular. se 6/21: se + opp. from + opp. them

11:19 am

I thought tomorrow was safari day. (Back for a bit while I eat lunch)

11:19 am

Babbler -- I think we should have the icons ready and just upload them when she appears on the scene.

11:19 am

good plan. Bear Hugs ready for Mamabear for when she arrives, whatever the theme of the day.

11:20 am

help with the si 6/18 please?

11:20 am

cyber...that sounds like a good idea...that way, we can 'surprise' mama when we know she's here...

11:20 am

cybernan-I think that's the best option. Since we're not sure when she'll be back.

11:20 am

Thanks, Babbler

11:20 am

no, thank you for suggesting it, cyber. :)

11:21 am

si 6/18: one of the 7 deadlies + cross + 'more' suffix

11:22 am

Thanks cyber, I could have sworn I tried that one

11:22 am

I am speechless

11:22 am

back in a bit -- gone to work on 'bear hugs'

11:24 am

whats going on with mama bear what are we doing for her?

11:24 am

(((((((((((((((((((( MAMABEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!! )))))))))))))) XXX :D:D:D

11:24 am

hi Mama, good to see you :)

11:24 am

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHH

11:24 am

11:31 am

(((Mama))).....Kids eh!!!!! I`m now cheer bear!!! Hope thats what you get from now on......lots of cheer :)

11:32 am

((EB)) Love both of your icons today :)

11:32 am

Alright then, make it "circus bears" - how's that? Shorty - my son got into some trouble Wednesday nite, I was subjected to the police searching my house and he was taken in handcuffs. Just as an update - husband brought him home early this morning (around 2am). I haven't talk to him yet. He is 25 yrs. old. I have gone through this stuff with him before. A long story. Thank you all for your thoughts, concern, and the abundance of emails I read this morning. You guys are great and the support is greatly appreciated, from the bottom of my bear heart. Thank you so much...

11:34 am

MamaBear, I just sent you an email. I was reading the log from early this morning. Love and hugs to you.

11:35 am

Mama you are wonderful.....I just hope if my turn ever comes with either of my two kids, I handle things as well as you seem to be doing ((((Hugs)))) xxxx

11:35 am

Oh, Mama! ((((((MamaBear)))))) I do hope everything works out all right.

11:35 am

off to start the dishes. zebra bear hugs to all!

11:35 am

good morning....any help with the el 5/12???

11:36 am

See you soon Deutsch :)

11:36 am

Nonny....not you`re younger!!

11:36 am

We're always here for you, Mamabear. (((xxx)))

11:36 am

Nonny, are you younger or el---?

11:37 am

I mean your!! Not you`re......Derrr :/

11:38 am

I love both your icons today too, EB! :)

11:38 am

Have you done a runner Anj??????

11:39 am

(((hugs))) Mama... thinking of you...

11:40 am

Munner....for a minute there I thought you were asking my age range. :-) Thanx for the clue/hint. Can't believe I missed that one. The easy ones sometimes go right by me. (AND I AM on the elder side)

11:43 am

Mama - God Bless you, your husband and your son through these hard times.

11:44 am

Yes, Mama, G_d bless (you and son will be in my prayers).

11:49 am

Babbler - I just LOVE your icon - it makes me smile!!! Thank you again, everyone for your support. prayers and concern. I have been through worse times than this. It's just something I thought I would never have to deal with again. Oh, and if anyone knew about my possible job possibilities in Long Island that I have discussed previously - that also fell through this morning via a phone call from my contact there. They are not "ready" to make a commitment to someone in my position since the undertaking is in it's early stages and still on shaky ground. My contention is that they knew this BEFORE they contacted me. But so adds to my distress as a result. And life goes on.

11:53 am

Mama - you are actually considering leaving the Windy City?? Don't you look forward to the snow storms (like the one we're getting tonight)?

11:53 am

sorry to hear that, Mamabear. It's just one thing after another, isn't it? Hang in there, peace-time will return. Glad I raised a smile today. : ) xxx

11:54 am

Mama....look at it this way....You are TOO good for them and someone more deserving will get you instead!!! :o)

11:55 am

Oh, Mammabear -- sorry to hear about your 2nd piece of bad news. Glad to see you back though -- y ou were in my thoughts all day yesterday and this morning.

11:57 am

Lupe - I think they get snow there too LOL... yes I hear we are to get 6 inches today.. can't wait. ha With the job thing - I was first contacted a very long time ago about this opportunity at it's inception, and seriously the last 6 months. It seemed like an answer to my bad personal situation here, and a good "new start". I pray always for direction and there were so many signs that this was the direction I was being led in and I don't understand why this has happened. Someday I will I guess.

11:58 am

thank you for the email, nan!

11:59 am

Mama - If you moved to Long Island, you'd have to adjust to a new kind of pizza...not sure it would do a bear to change like that!

11:59 am

Enough about me. how is this grid today? And how are all of you? I didn't play yesterday. My cold is back in full force and I was exhausted after the last 2 days - went to bed at 8pm!

12:00 pm

Good point, EB!!!!! See - everything happens for a reason!!!

12:00 pm

any help for the es7?? ty

12:01 pm

pbr, it's like a necktie, but change the a to e and past tense.

12:01 pm

Like you said.....everything happens for a reason. I'm sure your prayers will be answered according to His will.

12:01 pm

anyone with su 6/21?

12:01 pm

try the T's Mama... I just typed anything that looked like it might be a word, and it seems to take it... :)

12:02 pm

Regarding the ne 6/21 word - the receptionists at my husband's veterinary practice are used to people getting their terminology wrong - asking for animals to be 'neutralised' or 'sprayed'. The favourite mistake was when one lady asked about getting her cat 'splootered'. Sounds like a messy job!

12:02 pm

hi peeps! Mamabear - bad luck babe. Sorry to hear you're having such a rough time of it. Take my advice - this week, dont bother buying a lottery ticket. Waste of money. :)

12:03 pm

Hi and LOL Haz!! :D Hi and LOL Dachef !! :D

12:03 pm

LOL Haz....what a great word :) Hi Dachef, hows the new job treating you??

12:03 pm

Hi dachef! Haz, lol A splootered kitty, haven't seen one of those in years!

12:04 pm

What dachef said! But you must call your doctor. You've been ill too long with this.

12:04 pm

es 7: es + baby bed + past tense suffix

12:05 pm

*hands mamabear a hot toddy* for all that ails ye...

12:05 pm

su 6/21: rhymes with cu 6/24

12:06 pm

Deutsch + cybernan -- ty!!

12:10 pm

Hi efor!

12:10 pm

Plural your male relative Dachef :)

12:11 pm

doh. Thanks Lotti. Pass the fish.

12:12 pm

You`re welcome :)

12:13 pm

why male relative though? Surely that word is unisex?

12:14 pm

thanks dachef.... lottery tickets this week are NOT on the shopping list. I agree.

12:15 pm

Doh....Sorry it`s cos the word nephew was mentioned to me not long ago and it must have stuck!!! LOL

12:15 pm

Hello everyone :)

12:16 pm

Hello colourful Missy :)

12:16 pm

co 7? necktie? can't think, can't think haven't entered a word yet either.... do I commit?

12:16 pm

Hi MissyMe!

12:16 pm

:)...hello lady in pink

12:16 pm

Hi Missy, and to all who just joined. Back from reading the log. : )

12:16 pm

hi missyme!!!!! you're looking colorful today!

12:17 pm

mama - although, saying that, your luck has to break sometime! I remember a friend who once lost his job, and then fell down some stairs after he'd been out drowning his sorrows and broke his leg. Just when his life had turned to absolute crud, he got a phone call from a solicitor who told him that a rich relative he'd never heard of had died and left him £10,000!

12:17 pm

Mamabear, trust me......... dive in and enjoy! :D

12:17 pm

Deutsch and Babbler...nice to see both of you again :)

12:18 pm

LOL Mama....that clue wouldn`t have done it for me anyway!!! Haz did a good one for it not far back :)

12:18 pm

Hi mama...wow you're bear is talented!

12:18 pm

Thanks, Missy. I've not been around as much lately, so I'm taking advantage of a day off and chatting up a storm.

12:19 pm

Deutsch did you finish the puzzle?

12:19 pm

dachef - those stories happen to OTHER people, not to me!!! I still have my job here. Not the best, and was looking forward to the change and challenge but I will have to accept it and make other adjustments here. There is good and bad with everything.

12:19 pm

you too, Missy : )

12:19 pm

said storm seems to be heading for Chicago! sorry!LOL

12:20 pm

I bet other people don't get gazillions of hugs from all over the world, Mamabear!

12:20 pm

Yes it is Deutsch - supposed to start this afternoon - 6 - 8 inches I've heard. Glad tomorrow is Saturday. Homemade chicken soup is on my agenda for tomorrow.

12:20 pm

I have 52 words left to find. sigh...

12:22 pm

Babbler - you are absolutely right!!! I was thinking that as I was reading my emails this morning with all the well wishes and support. From everywhere!!! Places I'll never be able to see, but I feel I have a connection with. It's amazing. But it is a little mind boggling trying to keep Babble names and real names straight as to who's who!!!!! LOL It's like everyone has a secret double identity!!!

12:22 pm

The r's in this puzzle drove me to distraction so I just left them for last and finally finished them

12:23 pm

must go do a little work.... be back in a little while when I'm at lunch! ciao! *BIG BEAR HUGS TO ALL*

12:23 pm

I say argh to the r's I have one. Any clues for the rest, MissyMe?

12:23 pm

well, I've already been round your way in a dream, so I'm sorted! lol!! :D:D:D

12:24 pm

see you later, Mamabear, you take care (((xxx)))

12:24 pm

See ya Mama (((Hugs))) to you too :)

12:25 pm

I didnt manage to email you this morning, Mamabear - was too busy being rather ill (thats probably too much information though) but I've been thinking of you

12:25 pm

Zebra bear hugs for mama

12:26 pm

sorry to hear that Atalante (((( get well hugs )))) : ) and hi!

12:26 pm

anyone make use of the X?

12:26 pm

my husband attempted to cook last night ... I knew it was a bad idea then!!

12:27 pm

bye mama...see you later...

12:27 pm

(((Hugs))) for Atalante too.....sounds like you need a gentle one :) Hope you`re feeling better soon :)

12:27 pm

Deutsch here there are: re + you *** your little one have a cracker. (rhymes with "bet" re + consonant + vowel re+ to4/5 (I to** you not to put your hand in the fire) re + word that rhymes with muse, (replace the "m" with a different consonant

12:28 pm

Atalante...did you recently obtain a life insurance policy w/ your hubby as the beneficiary?? (trying to make you smile...)

12:28 pm

Joeypapi didn't use the X once :)

12:28 pm

yeah, i just couldnt see it

12:28 pm

didn't know if it tailed some monster though

12:29 pm

why is that Babblers lately seem to be predominently female? A guy could get a complex here. Obviously, I realise I am leaving myself wide open with this comment...

12:29 pm

*giggles* I am NEVER going to do that! I've been watching too many episodes of things like Forensic Detectives and FBI Files recently - and its always husbands killing wives for their insurance money!

Hello.

12:30 pm

Dachef lol is that a guy thing?

12:30 pm

I won`t comment then Dachef!!!!

12:30 pm

Hello bunny :)

12:31 pm

hi bunny...

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

12:33 pm

And where have MovieMan and mtnjock gone?

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

12:34 pm

Well I'm not a guy but I'm here.....Hi all

12:35 pm

Doogle's semester just began. He and fiance had a nice new year's. I'll be sure to pass along he's missed here in babble world. ... Unless he's lurking...

12:35 pm

Deutsch Arg...I fogot the co words...once I got a rhythm going I completed them pretty fast but in the beginning I just stared at the one lonely co word i had...lol

12:35 pm

yeah, dachef has a point, we need more blue handbags to keep us pink handbags in line!

12:35 pm

Torgone got a firewall put on his computer at work just before Christmas so he can now only play from home. He is still around and still gorgeous though!!!! ;o)

12:35 pm

I don't know about Joel -- something about priorites or some such nonsense. TORGONE! TOOOORGOOOONE!!!

12:36 pm

although being the only man in the room, does have its advantages! ;)

12:36 pm

Dachef LOL Hey, you make a great corpse! *props him up in the corner and hangs festive ornaments on him*

12:36 pm

MssyMe, LOL That's the way it is for me, too! I just stare at the one thinking is will sprout more!

12:36 pm

You know you love it Dachef....lol

12:36 pm

12:39 pm

12:48 pm

Hassenpfeffer? Baywatch? Eh?

12:48 pm

I've developed a strong craving for a cold beer.... must be the Friday after a stressful week because I hardly EVER crave cerveza.

12:48 pm

Temple lol Nah, everybody asks for clues

I got the clue...but Baywatch? Has Hasselhoff had a sex change?

12:49 pm

It's the spanish word for beer Missy...

12:51 pm

Dachef...you learned to have sex with a bathing suit on?

12:51 pm

Hasenpfeffer? isnt that Michelle Pfeiffer's German Uncle?

12:51 pm

Lupe and Bunny...no wonder I hadn't heard of that brand...lol

12:51 pm

MissyMe - thats not as difficult as you may think....... ;)

12:51 pm

dachef - what aftershave are you wearing? It smells divine!

12:51 pm

I'm thinking a nice cold Corona with lime, or a Berryweiss.

My gosh I'm lost, back to the board!

12:52 pm

glad you like it dachef

12:52 pm

Missy - LOL that's funny.

12:52 pm

12:53 pm

I go to Spain about twice a month (im off on Wednesday actually), cos my girlfriend lives there, but I've never heard of hasenpfeffer before!! I will have to ask when I get there!

12:53 pm

Cool Bunny!!! Sounds like fun!

12:54 pm

bunny hope you have a great time!

ok, check on the dead bunny ( hey!), now for baywatch minus the danglies?.....

12:54 pm

can' t eat bunnies even if they are vicious, they're only vicious if they are solitary, they need company

12:54 pm

They often make German dishes in Spain???? Sex in a bathing suit? I've had Sex on a Beach at a party!

12:54 pm

Dachef - I'd love to be able to say "I go to Spain twice a month" - Hell, I'd love to be able to say I've been there at all!!

12:55 pm

Lupe...lol! I've seen pictures of Spain, does that count?

*ni5/12*

Whew, was fearing for my life....

12:55 pm

I'd love to say I go anywhere twice a month!

12:55 pm

No, seriously, I know it is possible to keep the bathing suit on. Once, when I was.......no, actually, lets not go there.....

12:56 pm

Mamab...I feel for anyone just walking in on this conversation...

12:56 pm

bunny - I'm envious! I LOVE to dance.... haven't in forever either. (except alone in the kitchen with the music very loud!)

I go to WalMart that often....

12:56 pm

Oh a Corona with lime sounds mighty tasty......11:00 here but must be noon somewhere Have fun bunny!!!

12:56 pm

bunny ROTF!

12:56 pm

Ive just bought my tickets to go to Barcelona - they ost exactly £1.98!!!!! And the airport is just round the corner from my house! How cool is that?

12:56 pm

Missy - I have a friend who lives in Madrid and a cousing who's been to Barcelona - AND I have a postcard from there. The closest I've gotten to Spain is France. Need to save $$ to visit Spain!

Oh me too, I think dancing is a great stress reliever. I hit that dance floor soon as I get there til they drag me off! I don't get to go near as often as I like, don't have anyone to go with...

12:57 pm

me too bunny, or Asda it's uk version

12:57 pm

way cool, dachef! Now I am envious of you AND bunny.... and am daydreaming now of DANCING in SPAIN!!!!

12:57 pm

Lupe...how nice...you're relatives can show you around. Spain does seem a lovely place

12:58 pm

*whispers to dachef* Take mama for a tango around dance floor!

12:58 pm

a cousing, that word was rejected

12:58 pm

Dachef!!! where did you get tickets at that price?????

12:59 pm

Hey babbler not seen you for ages

I don't fly, so it's Mexico or Canada for me til they build a bridge over the Bering Strait!

12:59 pm

eBay?

12:59 pm

Missy - it'll be a while before I have enough $$ to make that journey. I'll be going to Mexico in the Spring, and NYC in the summer. That's it for this year's travels - with the exception of a weekend or two to St. Louis. Europe will have to wait until the price of a euro goes down!

12:59 pm

Babbler - I was going to say the same thing, except I don't know what "that price" is with all those funny A's and other things I can't even find on my keyboard. Now tell me in $'s and I'll understand!

Temp, I don't have the ni 5/12 yet...

1:00 pm

Stuck on se 6/21.....ANYONE???

1:00 pm

why don't you fly bunny?

1:00 pm

need a bridge over the Atlantic, that would be cool

1:01 pm

Lupe - don't be silly, bunnies don't have wings!

1:01 pm

se 6/21: se + opp. from + opp. them

1:01 pm

Temple ni 5/12 spelled something like the word for an American five-cent piece, no "k" and change the "e" to a different vowel

1:01 pm

dachef - what a bargain! I am jealous!

1:01 pm

Hi everyone --- how are we all today?

1:01 pm

MAMABEAR!! TOO CUTE!

1:02 pm

Nonny, the ni is a japanese looking word. Involves the row under the top N

1:02 pm

GreyWoulf! Hello !

Nonny se 6/21 se + first four letters from the second to5/12 word

1:03 pm

got the tickets from Ryanair - seems that the flights are pretty empty so they're just trying to get rid of the seats. With tax, the trips gonna cost less than a 12" pizza.

1:03 pm

hey ferrari : ) I've been around, but we probably kept missing each other! :) (sorry for delay, just getting the dinner on) ((( ** GW!! ** )))

1:03 pm

A blue handbag has joined the group!!!! HI GW! Dachef - now you have to share us!

1:03 pm

Schroeder!!! ((**HUG**)) -- how have you been, lady?

1:03 pm

re6, tell again

1:03 pm

He Grey!

1:03 pm

Wow -- don't know what to say to that. I hope you change your mind and decide to fly again. Don't let them rob you of the pleasure of seeing the world.

1:04 pm

Mamabear - it's about $4 or 5. (yes, four or five dollars!!)

1:04 pm

thanks, ferrari.

1:04 pm

Hi Greywoulf - please help - dont know if I can handle as these ladies on my own. OMG, what am I saying?

I'll just lobby for that bridge to be built.

1:04 pm

re6, tell again, past tense

hi gwenski!

1:05 pm

LOL dachef!

1:05 pm

re6/21 re + to4/5 re6/21 re + word that rhymes with "muse", change the "m" to a different consonant

1:05 pm

I suspect its just as easy to bomb a bridge Bunny :(

1:05 pm

Pretty good GW, you must be getting close to the due date...I seem to remember it was the begining of Feb. right

dachef!!!LOL! hi gw!

1:05 pm

Hi. Been babbling while eating lunch, but work is calling me back, so Bye!

1:06 pm

gwenski bye cya later :)

1:06 pm

Bye gwenski!!

gw's baby is due on my birthday....

any hints for the to 7/40 please??

1:07 pm

I'll do my best to help, Dachef! I am not up to par right now -- I was wiped out by a stomach virus last night -- only just now beginning to feel something like my normal self

1:07 pm

Hi Temple, isn't that the 3rd?

True, but I can swim! I can't fly! I'm a homebody anyway. There's enough around me to see in a lifetime, and I'm VERY easily amused.

1:07 pm

to7/40 rhymes with the lo7

1:07 pm

EB to 7/40 the act of doing the word above it...it has an interest"ing" suffix

1:07 pm

Schro -- yep -- Feb 3rd -- two weeks away :)

Missy - thanks... (ferrari - didn't do the 'l's yet, but now I have one!! thanks!)

1:09 pm

EB YW :)

1:09 pm

I love clues that say "same as", "rhymes with" or "plural or past tense of" another word in the grid which I also don't have... it's like a treasure hunt or "domino effect" or something like that...

1:10 pm

Sorry to hear you were not feeling well GW - I think we ALL need Spring to come! We are expecting 6 inches of snow today...

1:10 pm

sorry mamabear

1:10 pm

GW sorry you've been sick... :(

yes, schroeder! *hoping no one asks how many that will be* ty for remembering!

1:10 pm

GW - what is your icon? Is that the bonfire used to roast the marshmallows for the s'mores for the CIRCUS?

1:11 pm

no problem, ferrarri - wasn't criticizing, I just think it truly is funny - sends me on a "chase"... like going into the kitchen from the living room and then when I get there I forget why I wanted to go there in the first place!

1:12 pm

Mama -- it is an image of Wolf volcano -- haven't had a chance to update yet -- wanted to check in with people 1st :)

1:13 pm

Don't worry Temple, you can be whatever age you would like here in the land of babble :)

1:13 pm

Is anyone else having a hard time accepting the fact that "ginseng" and "gnus" are not in the grid????

1:14 pm

no what you mean mama, they're called senior moments I think, I'd love a junior moment

lol, i typed them both more than once!

1:14 pm

Yes, Mama. I wanted to type ginseng so many times. Fortunately, I'm over it now.

1:14 pm

I don't want to think I am old enough for Senior Moments, but I like the "junior moments" concept!

1:14 pm

I keep seeing tincture

ferrari - i've typed it in twice!!

...it doesn't work by the way!! 8 D

1:15 pm

Are the first 2 to's (to 6/21 & 7/32) and the last 7/40 obvious and I'm just not seeing them?

mama - the first 2 to's.... think of what native americans used to wear on their feet (starts with an "M")...change to a "t" and remove an "A"

1:17 pm

the first 2 to's ae usually spelt with an x, poisons

1:18 pm

mama 2 to's (to 6/21 & 7/32) a clock goes tic *** + doing wrong against God's laws

1:18 pm

the lasr to is the rhyming with lo7 one,

1:18 pm

got em! how about the 7/40?

1:18 pm

How about a hint for the lo 7, please?

1:18 pm

to 7/40 the act of doing the word above it...it has an interest"ing" suffix

Mama - TSM...she's in the puzzle again...I usually call her To 4/4!! (I almost typed it, and then realized I'd be putting a word in the log)...

1:30 pm

1:30 pm

1:31 pm

See you later, Mama -- (*Hug*) -- sorry to be so quiet -- doing the entertain the baby thing -- tricky when feeling so tired :)

1:31 pm

GW - feel better! all - i must go! happy babbling and see you tomorrow!

1:32 pm

1:32 pm

Deutsch, Lana's bloke and his mum died

bye mama!

1:32 pm

That's OK, GW - I understand... I'll be in and out throughtout the afternoon.. "spot working".... not too busy right now here and I am very tired this week too.

1:33 pm

Thanks Temple! -- see you later -- (*hug*)

1:33 pm

Oh, yeah, Ferrari. but I think he's supposed to lose someone close to him this season. Any ideas who it could be?

bloke? The good looking guy from Supernatural?

He is. If they stay faithful to the movie, it's have to be a parent or Lana....maybe Cloey?

1:35 pm

I haven't put a word in for 20 minutes at least, how do you chat and enter words at the same time, I can multi task but for heavens sake how do you do it?

Hmmm, dunno. The log doesn't usually move so fast when I 'm here though.

1:36 pm

his mum or his dad, they've had umpteen lives so far?

1:36 pm

ferrari when I'm doing the puzzle I don't chat because I lose my concentration

1:36 pm

I don't, Ferrari! LOL been sitting on 40 words for a while now. I think it's going to be Lana, Bunny. but maybe that's too obvious

1:37 pm

Hello, folks. my money's on chloe. anyone got the long de's (7 and 9?)

1:37 pm

ferarri - I am chatting, hunting on grid AND working, oh AND listening to soundtrack from Dirty Dancing!!!! Not to mention occasional "work people" dropping by for work issues!!!! Keeps my mind off "other" stuff I guess!

1:37 pm

ferrari -- usually by keeping multiple windows open so I can track the chat and hunt at the same -- that only works when my daughter is not wanting to watch her vids though ;D

1:37 pm

I pop in just to take a break from the grid for a few seconds... then new words might pop up ..... I live in hope! lo5/12 anyone? I have the french king....

True, maybe his father wins this election and someone gets mad about it. Course, maybe some weirdo, krypto, shapeshifting, flying, had a bad child hood, something or other just mauls someone. Who knows?

1:38 pm

.... I am also watching Coronation Street and my dinner is almost ready to eat...... ; )

1:38 pm

Babbler - rhymes with "mouse" - and leslieann - just add a de to this for your de 7 and another endING for the 9

1:38 pm

I've got 8 to go but still haven't got the in 7, after yesterday it seems cheating to ask for clues

1:38 pm

1:44 pm

co 5/12 - woman's 'bracing' undergarment minus r

1:44 pm

TSM -- from what I have been told -- it is a pretty fun place -- they have various types of games all over as well as pretty good food --- basically places like D&B and Jillian in the NY area have replaced the old game arcade -- Think in terms of Check E. Cheese for adults :D (if that helps)

1:45 pm

1:45 pm

ferrari i think that rule is dumb! ask for help when you need it!

1:46 pm

2nd co 5/12 plural of co4/6 - French for coast or crib plus vowel. Pluralise for co5 Second co6/24 - c plus word meaning external

1:46 pm

co6 - c + ou5/12. Gotta go, good luck all!

1:46 pm

haz I've been so busy chatting (1 finger is very slow ) that I'd forgotten I'd already got it

1:46 pm

Hiya, everybody!!!! I just realised what today's theme is, but no-one said anything about what kind of circuses.....lol (Is this the right room for an argument?)

1:47 pm

1:55 pm

1:58 pm

Hi johnsmith!

1:58 pm

thanks hurshy, I just found the ic5 before I saw your post

1:58 pm

hursh -- from my mind to your keyboard ;D

1:58 pm

oh well, can't blame a girl for trying

1:59 pm

lol gw

1:59 pm

All the reviews I read about "King Kong" seemed to criticise it 'cos of certain parts that seemed to drag on a bit, but the three hours just seemed to fly by for me, I was engrossed the whole time...

1:59 pm

ditto hurshy

1:59 pm

Hi guys :)

1:59 pm

hey hostess could do a good promotion for that movie - they should sell King Kong Ding Dongs

1:59 pm

HI sprite! (*hug*)

2:00 pm

I was too, movie. Much more engorssing than other recent movies.

hi sprite!!

2:00 pm

ah, it's sprite, the not-so-evil genius

2:00 pm

I thought King Kong was FABulous! Indiana Jones on steroids. I was totally mesmerized through the whole thing!

2:00 pm

LOL, Hurshy. Marketing genius!

2:00 pm

Hurshy! LOL

2:00 pm

hey hurshy are you in comedy?

2:01 pm

no, i'm in my study

2:01 pm

Peter Jackson is a master of making a three hour-plus epic and NOT making it boring....

2:01 pm

Not so evil, hm? I need to work on my reputation, I see ;) *hug for Woulf*

2:01 pm

lol

2:01 pm

absolutely movieman! The guy is a real genius

2:02 pm

oh, you can be evil if you want, sprite - i just didn't want to insult you. the genius part is bc i heard you can do whole grids without the list or any assistance - is that true?

2:03 pm

ugh, i am stuck on ti 5/12 and 7/36. any clues?

2:03 pm

I agree with darleen!

2:03 pm

Of course not! I get clues from you guys and when I get really stuck, I use the stats panel.

2:04 pm

mmm, to eat a king kong ding dong whilst playing ping pong (this is sounding very sing-song - does it sound nice or have i got the ring wrong?)

2:04 pm

oh, well the rumors about you were flying, sprite, and i had to find out.

2:04 pm

hi Sprite, hurshy and all who have joined :) Sprite - you are a mighty genius! ; )

2:05 pm

leslieann, to color something and what you color it with...

2:05 pm

ti 5/12 in the wizard of oz there was the *** man, add the abbrv for the state where i live (which is south of mass, east of ny, west of RI, and rhymes with shmonnecticut)

2:06 pm

ti 7 past tense

2:06 pm

I use as much help from the log as everybody else and the stats panel really helps. I just don't use Brandyjack's list with 2nd letters and such. Never believe anything they say about me ;) Ha Babbler... no mighty sprighty, we agreed on that! :P

2:06 pm

LOL, hursh!

2:06 pm

Has anybody else seen Mr. Jackson's earlier efforts, like "Bad Taste", "Braindead" (aka "Dead Alive"), "The Frighteners", "Heavenly Creatures" etc., and what are your opinions of them.....

2:07 pm

hello everyone!

2:07 pm

lol Sprite! I didn't say that..... I said mighty genius! I did remember : D

2:07 pm

Hi Niamh!

hi Niamh...

2:07 pm

Must run to the bank...bbl

2:07 pm

hi nia!

2:08 pm

how's the water today?

2:08 pm

D-D-D-D-D-D-DONE! Finito! Fin! Finis!

Hey Niamh

2:08 pm

ah, thanks hurshy (it was the shmonnecticut that did it for me)

2:08 pm

congrats Judi!

2:08 pm

I's are finally done. Hi Niamh I saw heavenly creatures and really liked it. Not so in love with frighteners, but I saw it on TV. I think that was the problem.

2:08 pm

I LOVED the Frighteners so much I bought it. I don't buy a lot of movies, either. But it's ... BRILLIANT!

Woot Judi! Grats hun!

2:08 pm

Hi Niamh! (*hug*) movieman -- have only seen the 'The Frighteners' -- I thought it was actually a fun flick

2:08 pm

hooray judi!

Congrats Judi... See you later Schroe!!

Deutsch Congraaaaaats!

2:09 pm

Judi, WTG!

2:09 pm

good job, judi!

2:09 pm

Yea, for Judi. Okay, Darleen, you've convinced me. I give it fair shake next time.

2:09 pm

hi sprite lost in babbleland, 1 word to go, there was some bill guy ye sterday saying it was impossible to get more than 12 percent without help!

2:09 pm

Thanks, Toes. Its been quite a while since I actually finished one of these pups.

2:10 pm

Changing the subject entirely, does anyone wanna assist me with the 9....? Thanx and all that....

2:10 pm

Congrats, Judi!! (*Hug*)

2:10 pm

Hi ferrari! I don't think that is true, 12% is nothing. Guess we all do better than that without help. But I could never find all words without help.

2:10 pm

lol ferrari - bill is silly - i usually go for getting at least half completely on my own before i turn to any assistance. sometimes i get a little less, sometimes i get a little more.

Judi - I hear that! I have yet to finish one in 2006! :)

2:10 pm

Laundry again. Dang it! back in a bit

2:10 pm

GW, your icon is very small.... what is that?

2:11 pm

the 9 - removing parasitic insects from your hair

2:11 pm

Niamh -- its a wolf rolling in the snow -- sorta reflects how I feel right now

2:11 pm

Same here, usually half without much trouble, and then it gets harder. Some grids are easier than others.

2:11 pm

Oh, btw, GW - I don't know if you read back in the log that my LI thing fell through.

2:12 pm

thanx hursh...

2:12 pm

the second and third co6/24's hurshy

2:12 pm

ahh. I figured it had to be a wolf... and snow... should have put two and two together. :)

2:12 pm

No, I hadn't, Mama -- Bummer! Sorry to hear that :(

2:13 pm

oops I mean second and fourth

2:13 pm

Mama! Hi there... are things better now?

2:14 pm

agree with you both, my last co was a pig, there was a Mrs. Co**** in Philip Pullman, take out the L

2:14 pm

hello Mama... I've been told not to give up on LI, being denied is like a right of passage with them

2:15 pm

Nevermind, got em, thanks anyway

No, just viewing everyones profiles! :) Nice to reread or check out the changes ya know?

2:17 pm

2:21 pm

It's bad when working gets in the way of babbling, hurshy!

Anj, does the day smell like strawberry?

2:22 pm

My thoughts exactly, sprite. Dratted work. I am hanging in there, thanks for asking.

ANJ!! Hi!

2:23 pm

TSM -- it's that wonderful combination of excitement and terror --- I have no clue how my life will change with the addition but I wouldn't give up the opportunity for anything :)

2:23 pm

It's a D-link - it came with two installation guides which frightened the life out me until I realised it has every language known to man in it!

2:23 pm

Well, I'm off too unless someone needs clues.

2:23 pm

Belkin things are hideous!!

2:23 pm

Today? ...no, more like jellybeans at the moment : )

2:23 pm

Here I go!

2:23 pm

Gotta get caught up.... hi Anj! bye Haz & ferarri!

2:24 pm

Bye Judi, too early for me for clues, still going reasonably strong. When I get stuck, you will be gone, I fear ;) Thanks and see you!

2:24 pm

Hi everyone! :)

2:24 pm

Haz, don't be scared... I have one, it's a D-link, works great easy to install.... you can do it!!

Bye Judi... Good luck Haz!!

2:24 pm

see, my calc students always need extra time for their tests, because in 45 mins (one class period) you can really only do one or two problems - they just take time. but this one kid who is here now, he likes to take 3 or 4 hours - or more! i have to cut him off because in college that is not going to fly.

2:25 pm

sa 6/24? either one?

2:25 pm

Hi Miyavi!

2:25 pm

yo my homies! how are you? ^^

2:25 pm

Miyavi_Fan!!!!!!! ((**HUG**))

2:25 pm

hey, miyavi, haven't seen you in a while!

2:25 pm

Hi Miyavi!

2:25 pm

MIYAVI!!!!!!

2:25 pm

Anj - I'm not sure, but I don't think you can experience that level of euphoria from jellybeans!

2:26 pm

Greetings, Miyavi!!!!!!

2:26 pm

*launches self on unsuspected babblers* :D

2:26 pm

sa 6/24's - one is a pl, one is a past tense so if you need some sa5's: one is like marinara, bearnaise, etc. one is a way to cook onions or whatever

*RUNS to the edge of the U.S. Swan dives into the Atlantic...SWIMS like crazy across the pond...hops out in Britain...Runs to Miya's town...out of breath...but...* MIYA!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! ((((((((((((( ((*********HUG**************** *)))))))))))))) haven't seen you for ages hun!!!

2:26 pm

jane, both have to do with cooking... to cook in butter is to sa*** (and past tense) and then you could use the butter as a sa*** (and plural)

2:27 pm

*bouncing up and down* wow wow wow, thanks for such a great greeting, everyone! I feel so loved ^_^

2:27 pm

*catches Miyavi* Mama, doesn't that depend on where the jellybeans are put?

2:27 pm

so where have you been miya?!

2:27 pm

Hi miyavi!! Yes, Babble-love is like none other!

2:28 pm

yes sprite, that is true!!! Location is important!

2:28 pm

And who puts them there, of course ;)

2:28 pm

I've been suffering from buyers remorse, Hurshy :D

2:28 pm

Thank you. I had the 5/14 words, but couldn't see the plurals, darn brain of mine is out of practice!

2:29 pm

what did you buy that made you remorseful, and why would that prevent you from babbling?

2:29 pm

most definitely!!!! Anj - do the snozberries taste like snozberries?

2:30 pm

tangential question - are swedish fish actually swedish? i mean they sell them in ikea's food section...

2:31 pm

Anyone have AIM or Yahoo messanger? I think I will put my contact name on my profile... yes? no?

(((Miya!))) Hello stranger : ) Deutsch, there's a hint of lavender in there somewhere... Toes, it sorta stonewashed blues with a dash of purple and a twinkle in the eye at the moment...

2:32 pm

Crap I think my yahoo messanger name is hannahkramer83 but not totally sure. have to go home and check! lol

Whereas, for me, Funny Farm and other songs of its ilk, are my favorites to get groups singing along!

3:18 pm

how about this one? down to here, down to there, down to where it's not by itself.... no never have to cut it cuz it's not by itself!

Congrats Sprite...

3:19 pm

3:21 pm

Now the songs I remember from my youth that I can't seem to ever find on any compilation CD are 'Shaving Cream' or 'Along Came Jones' -- I can barely remember any of the words, just know I liked them

3:22 pm

Well, I have to take care of my own funnyfarm here, so I take my leave now. Thanks for the wonderful company! *hugs for all* *Very big hug for Woulf*

3:26 pm

3:27 pm

He was here just a few minutes ago mamabear, he commented on your lovely poem...

3:52 pm

oops - just scrolled back and saw you mark - thank you! And the really cool thing is that all those dreams that I describe I have actually had - that's why it was so easy to write!

3:53 pm

mamabear... your icon cracks me up!!

any clues for co 5/12 after co6/21 please

3:53 pm

Very nice poem Mama.... can you write one that's equally as nice to describe my commute home in this snow?

3:53 pm

I guess I do too then. lol

3:54 pm

thanks smaller - and it wasn't easy getting up on this little bicycle!!! But now that I am there, it's kind of fun! Might take it around the block a few times.

3:54 pm

Mamabear... LOL!!!!

3:54 pm

hmmmmmm..... I'll try Lupe. give me a few.

3:55 pm

Way to tackle a challenge MAMA!

3:55 pm

co5 - I'm guessing it's an alternate spelling of "to spoil" but you can also think of a waist-cinching device missing a middle consonant

3:55 pm

Lupe - do you take the train or the bus? I hope it's the train - much easier to rhyme....

3:55 pm

se 6/18?

3:56 pm

the bus! #50 Damen - going to the United Center to pick up tix to Disney on Ice....then back on the bus and home for the night.

3:56 pm

There is no se6/18, I think.

3:57 pm

RIght. I meant si6/18!

3:57 pm

MamaBear! Just a quick hello, I'm on my way out the door to dinner (pizza!) and then home. See you on the list later?

Hi JBsAnno!

4:19 pm

4:19 pm

4:21 pm

You know, I've been doing this for a while now... you'd think it would get easier, but I just don't see things today. Maybe cuz it's Friday and it's 60 degrees in Jan in MAryland

4:31 pm

Well folks, I'm off to (hopefully) enjoy the weekend... didn't do so well today, (79, 1019), but it happens, I guess. Will look into upgrading this weekend to join in the Pro Babble fun. Look forward to future themes. See y'all

4:33 pm

later drum...8)

4:33 pm

Wow - bottleneck whale travelled up the Thames into Central London! They've lost sight of it now. Hope it's ok. It's chances don't look too good.

4:34 pm

doxy...you are so cute!!!! 8)

4:34 pm

great icon doxy!! welcome to the joys of Pro! lol! :D

4:34 pm

thanks ren, I like your pink horse too.

4:35 pm

ooo renfield, pretty pony hair

4:35 pm

thank you to everyone. You have all been so nice :D. *wiping tears of joy*

4:35 pm

bye drum :)

4:36 pm

*offers doxy a tissue* there, there, dear

4:36 pm

Babbler, I just read the story. that's amazing. did you see it?

4:36 pm

I heard something on the news this morning about the whale, it didn't really sink in where it was (sorry not a morning person)

4:36 pm

doxy... speech speech speech

4:36 pm

looks like the whale is moving down river... fingers crossed it escapes...

4:37 pm

*sniffle* thank you. (Short and sweet)

4:37 pm

no, Deutsch, I didn't. I was asleep most of today. (yayyy!). Apparently it's still in the river and the next hour is crucial. The tide is rising, so if it's going to get back to sea, now is it's chance. The experts have lost sight of it. Poor thing.

4:37 pm

I didn't know the Thames was that big.

4:37 pm

did you see it, Sherb?

4:37 pm

i colored it myself!!!! i didn't draw it like eb...but i colored it and i stayed inside the lines.....8)

4:38 pm

well done, Ren!!! It's gorgeous!! lovely shade of pink too :D

4:38 pm

Doxy, the Thames is pretty big. Scary when the tide's in.

4:39 pm

Oh Renfield your such a big girl, coloring so pretty and staying within the lines....lol

4:39 pm

thanks babbler 8)

4:39 pm

Babs - just listening to the news on the radio...

4:39 pm

way to go, ren! oh you're growing up sooo fast

4:39 pm

BUT - it's not big enough for a whale, and the experts are concerned cos if it doesn't get out now, it will not survive.

4:40 pm

what are they saying, Sherb? I just saw ITV news.

Save the Whales! Shoot a harpooner!

4:41 pm

thanks smaller...may i wear make-up now????

4:41 pm

There....done it.....took ages to do the 'c's....don't know why !!!

4:41 pm

i can't believe there isn't a diver with a webcam and a live streaming feed of the whale's progress!

4:41 pm

ren, of course, not. can't have our renny looking like a hussy.

4:42 pm

Yoink, it seems to be the public who are informing the experts. The most recent sighting was around Greenwich.

4:42 pm

they said it was at Greenwich... had been up near Chelsea earlier, so it's going in the right direction... hope it carries on

4:42 pm

*quickly wipes off red lipstick*

Yoink - to quote Shel Silverstein... "If you ever, ever, ever see a whale... You must never, ever, ever touch it's tale... For if you ever, ever, ever touch it's tale... You may never, ever see another whale!"

4:42 pm

well, renny. any more than you already do

4:43 pm

I'm back! (Anybody wanna be front - then "we'd be a hug"!)

4:43 pm

EB- I've earned MUCH sage advice from shel.

4:43 pm

I'm front!!!

4:43 pm

ah gee smaller......

I'm front!

4:43 pm

I'll take you up on that offer, Mama!!

4:43 pm

I'm front!

4:43 pm

Eastern Blue... oops. learned not earned

4:44 pm

Hmm, the place names mean nothing to me! I am pretty crappy at geography at the best of times, but London I know nothing of. Towards sea and away form sea I can just about understand

4:45 pm

Greenwich is on the river, slightly towards the east. It's where the observatory is and the home of Greenwich Mean Time. The Cutty Sark is there.

I rode up the Thames on my honeymoon...to Greenwich & then took the tube back...a lovely trip!!

4:45 pm

ooh, and I think Jools Holland lives there! lol :D

4:46 pm

EB - that's one of my favourite things to do whenever I have guests!

4:46 pm

I just saw video of the whale. Pretty amazing. Hope it makes it.

4:47 pm

Eastern Blue, the tube? Like a fallopian tube? Or a tube top? How quick are tubes

4:48 pm

Smaller, it's a nickname for our underground railway. :)

smaller - the Tube is the under/above ground subway/rail system in the England...

4:49 pm

Ohhhhh! Thanks babs, my mental movie was running amok with that

4:49 pm

not England, EB, just London, lol! : )

4:49 pm

any help for the last two co6/24's and the 7/36?. I have struggled enough!!

4:50 pm

... though I think there's a smaller version in Liverpool.... or used to be.... dunno if it's still there?

4:50 pm

co6/24 - your aunt/uncle's kid co 7 - plural

Babs - that's primarily where we were when we were there...I just kinda guessed... 8 D

4:50 pm

sorry pbr. i only have 21 words

4:51 pm

co6/24 - same three letters to start + cross letter + ER

4:51 pm

oooh was gone for a bit - and I see I have a line forming to be front!!! Would that be I have people on the front line?????

4:52 pm

((((((Babbler)))))))) ((((((E B))))))))))) (((((((((((((((( (((((((GW))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))

4:52 pm

yes, Mama, you do! :D

*whispers to Mama* don't forget Sherb!

4:53 pm

my eyes are drooping... it's been a long week... off to bed with a good book... nite all :)

4:53 pm

oops, sorry - didn't see sherb's hand up! ((((((((((((((((((((sherb ))))))))))))))))))))))

G'Night Sherb...enjoy the book...sweet dreams!!

4:53 pm

night sherb, hi mama

4:53 pm

They were tlaking early this afternoon about my dilemmas (2 m's?) of this week and were going to do a special bear icon day to cheer me when i returned, and since I returned today, I said a special day wasn't necessary because I was enjoying the circus - so they combined the two themes!

ti5/12 is another word for color, similar to one already in the grid, but add a consonant in the middle.

8:13 pm

Babbler - thank you so much! I found the Si 7 easily with your help but that Si 5/14 is eluding me. I know it has to be right in my face so I will keep at it since it is my last word.

Tim - ti 5 & 7 the full word might be a ti _ _ _ ure of color.... then add the Mr Ed ending for the 7

8:13 pm

so thus far we have gwen - panthers tim - broncos nut - steelers jojo - seahawks

9:00 pm

Hello again! Finished earlier -- waiting for Kristianna to fully go to sleep -- ready to help those who need it :)

9:00 pm

hi cybernan (thanks for the em ((((((NAN)))))))))))

9:00 pm

congrats, EB!! : )

9:01 pm

hi again, cyber! : )

9:01 pm

Hi Mammabear, GW, Ren, Babbler and all

9:01 pm

hi nan hi wolfie

9:01 pm

Yayyyy for EB!

9:01 pm

GW - ooooooo I can keep you busy for 109 words!!!!!!

9:01 pm

(*C-nan*)

9:01 pm

hi all

9:02 pm

Hi CJ!!!

9:02 pm

I'll do my best, Mama --my tummy is still a little oogie :\

9:02 pm

Either I'm getting better at this, or the grids are getting easier --- thought there fewer questionable words today.

9:03 pm

Have you had the flu, GW?

hi to all who've joined... Woulfie (((HUG)))) CJ ((((HUG))))) Cybernan ((((HUG)))) mama - here come the words!!

9:03 pm

Babbler-thank you, thank you, thank you! The only one I don't get is the plural mushrooms and it is my last one. I Know I'm being dense, but can only think of funghi, shitakis, portabellos. Definitely time to go to sleep. Can you give me that one last nudge?

9:04 pm

I'll be gentle, GW.... how about a te 5/10 - I have the 2 that look the same except for the last vowel

9:04 pm

No, just a really nasty stomach virus, c-nan --- that's why I wasn't on last night -- worst part was that Kirsten got it at the same time -- we are both doing better, though she seem to have made a fuller recovery than I have :)

eva - se 5 - you se _ _ someone letter in the mail to tell them about your upper " _ _ " exam at the doctors....

9:05 pm

Love the beepakis!

9:05 pm

se 5/14: think melody (change the vowel) and add first person singular

9:05 pm

GW - did you and Kirsten go out to eat? Maybe it was food poisoning.

9:06 pm

te5/10 -- drop the consonant from the 2nd one you do have and replace with a vowel

9:06 pm

That did it cybernan! Thanks so much!!!

9:06 pm

Have you tried a cup of hot chocolate laced with a little orange brandy? -- I always think that makes any trouble go away!

*working on safari picture for tomorrow...*

9:07 pm

And thanks too EasternBlue!!

9:07 pm

Congrats, Eva!

9:07 pm

MAMA -- no, we can't afford to go out

9:07 pm

that sounds delish, c-nan!!!!!

9:07 pm

su 6/21?\ thanks for the te, GW!

9:08 pm

I like that idea, c-nan -- too bad I have no orange brandy :)

9:08 pm

su6/21 -- change the 1st letter of the cu6/24

9:08 pm

su 6/21: rhymes with cu 6/24

9:08 pm

I guess that means I need to do my cu's.....

9:09 pm

de7/36? de9/78? and the last si4/4?????

9:09 pm

cu 6/21: think knives and forks

9:10 pm

oops -- make that cu 6/24 -- and mostly knives

woo hoo eva!!! Congrats...

9:10 pm

si 4/4: opp. of stands

Tim - the de's - getting rid of the buggies in your hair....

9:10 pm

su6 -- An army camp follower who peddled provisions to the soldiers. cu6 - One who makes, repairs, or sells knives or other cutting instruments.

9:11 pm

grasias!

9:11 pm

de7 --de+ lo5/12

9:11 pm

de 7/36: get rid of the bugs and nits de 9/78: getting rid of the bugs and nits

9:12 pm

oops -- sorry folks -- forgot about one of the words in the grid!

9:13 pm

On that note, I think I'll go and format some more photos for last year's album. See you at the flip, if not before. :)

9:14 pm

so long, c-nan! (*hug*)

9:14 pm

see ya c-nan!!!! have a good nite

9:15 pm

thanks everyone .........gonna take a break...18 left when I come back......thanks (((((((((((everyone))))))))))) )

9:15 pm

GW - if you are just staying to clue for me, and would rather go lie down, I'll be ok..... don't stay on my account - ok?

9:16 pm

Don't worry, Mama -- when I have to go I will -- right now I am waiting for my tummy to settle some more -- lying down now is not really an option :)

bye c-nan... GW - I'm finished & can help mama for awhile....

bye Tim..see you soon!!

9:18 pm

OK.. I understand that!!! I truthfully don't know if I have it in me to finish this one. I think I shouldn't have started it..... fine time to think of THAT mamabear!!!!

9:19 pm

Mamabear-you've helped me to finish so many times. is there anything I can help you with?

let us know what you need mama...we'll give you clues 'til the bears come home...or at least until the flip!!

9:19 pm

So what if you don't finish, Mama? ;)

9:19 pm

There's so many EB - I still have 97 to go!!! Nothing is popping out at me on this grid. Is it me?

9:20 pm

I know GW. It's not a big deal - I just like to finish the ones I start.

mama - I monkey typed a bunch of words...and used clues & a2z... let's start at the beginning...do you have the a's??

9:22 pm

OOOOOOOO I found the fish - maybe that's a good sign

Mamabear... http://www.roverpe abody.com/g ear/images/safaribearb.jpg

9:45 pm

i'm done--night, all! Here's a safari trivia question for you . . . who was Ramar of the Jungle?

9:46 pm

thanks Dianne - and thank you for the message - greatly appreciated. I received so many messages in my email this morning - was amazing... how much love and support comes out of this group. I was deeply moved.

9:46 pm

google says Tom Reynolds...

Woo Hoo Une!! Congrats... no idea on your safari question...who is it??

9:48 pm

but did you ever watch it? in retrospect so funny . . . according to the show, every animal imaginable roamed the jungles of Africa and there was quicksand around every bend!!

9:48 pm

Mama - we were all thinking about you - and hoping for the best.

9:49 pm

it was a black and white TV show that came on every Saturday :-)

9:49 pm

no I didn't, I'm sorry to say, Une. Did you watch Daktari?

9:49 pm

i think so but not sure . . .

9:50 pm

Clarence the cross eyed lion? the funky theme tune? 70s show... : )

9:50 pm

Dianne - things are moving along. He is home (after $500 bond had to be spent) and the "grizzly" in me came out with him.

9:51 pm

Dianne - I can't get to that site - I can open the site, but can't access the images part. :(

9:51 pm

i was living in France for 3 years in the '70s and missed some TV . . .

9:51 pm

OOPS - that last message was for Babbler - sorry!

9:52 pm

el 5/12?

9:52 pm

Mama - at least he is home now and you will just have to take things one step at a time - just remember to take care of yourself while you are trying to take care of everyone/everything else :)

9:52 pm

Mama: Seems like what I have read, you have some problems. Got in late tonite. What is happening?

9:52 pm

oh the safari bear is adorable!! :-)

mama - there are a couple of spaces in the address...just remove those...it's a cu 4/5 bear!!

9:53 pm

I took out the spaces, and I even typed in the site letter for letter - when I got to the images part, it said I can't do that from this computer.

9:54 pm

a village will be ruled by it's el***s (even if they are senile)

9:55 pm

JoJo - I had some problems with my son on Wednesday that ended up in him being arrested. I was a wreck. But am dealing with it.

mama - el 5/12 - be respectful of your el _ _ _s (older people)

9:55 pm

Im back...made some popcorn for the kids........se5/14?se6/21??

9:55 pm

I want to see safari bear! I want to see safari bear! I want to see safari bear! *mamabear starts holding breath*

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

ic 5/14 clue please? It's my last word. Mamabear, I know what you mean -- this has been a rough week for me too, and even though I don't chat much on the log, it has cheered me to read the support for everyone. My dad died last week, funeral today, I took care of hm the past 5 years. Babble has been my 'alone' time. Thanks.

9:58 pm

God bless you.

9:58 pm

((( ch1212 )))) I am so sorry to hear your news. My heart goes out to you.

9:58 pm

ch1212...so very sorry to hear of your loss....

9:58 pm

ic5/14 - ic + cross letter + we

9:59 pm

ch1212 - I am so sorry for your loss - you truly have my deepest sympathy..

9:59 pm

Mama: My son at age 13 was arrested for driving his "off road" motorcycle on the street, and tried to out run a cop. It was a very hard time for me and our son as well. But, he never got into trouble after that incident. Sometimes, the worst thing, turns out for the best. I know what you are going thru.

9:59 pm

Tim, se5/14 - melody (change vowel) + first person

9:59 pm

(*ch1212*) -- glad to know we were of help to you

ch1212 - my sincere condolences on the loss of your father...may you find peace in your memories as time goes on... ((((((********HUG**** ********))))))

10:00 pm

Tim, se6/21 - se + cross letter + hoop + we

10:01 pm

Thanks, Babbler -- and all of you. We've known it was coming, and lots of good support in the family, but this space and time to play Babble with you has meant a lot. First time I've ever visited a site where I actually 'chatted' -- everyone who plays this game seems so great. Thanks again.

10:02 pm

ch1212... if you ever need an 'ear'...we'll be here...

10:02 pm

ch1212 - I agree with you totally. Everyone here has been so caring and concerned. More so than people in my real life... means so much.

10:02 pm

CH1212: My sympathy to you and yours. It is always hard to lose a parent, no matter how old you are.

10:03 pm

ch1212 - Hope you make it through this difficult day all right and take comfort in your family and friends.

10:03 pm

Still can't see my bear... and starting to turn blue.....

10:03 pm

ch1212 - it truly is a wonderful site. I've never chatted anywhere else either. I think the game attracts a lot of like-minded people. It's more than just a game, it's a community now.

10:03 pm

Mamabear, google images, safari bear.... see if that helps?

10:05 pm

I have the venueview site open - where do I go from there? OH, OK - will go try google....

10:07 pm

10:07 pm

10:08 pm

G'day, mates!!!! Please REFRESH!!!

10:09 pm

10:12 pm

Checking in, cold medicine working, so this is my only message tonight. Hi everybody! Sorry to hear of your loss, CH1212, God bless you! Hang in there MamaB - great safari bear! I could not connect to the site for over an hour, so my Babble time is up tonight. Catch you all tomorrow (especially if you're a mouse on safari...) G'night!

10:16 pm

GW - I googled Safari Wolf and apparently there is a type of Wolf that is called a Safari Wolf?

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

10:19 pm

((((((((( EB!! )))))))))) goodnight, honeybunch : )

10:21 pm

Thanks mama. I should be asking about you. I actually had several clients arrested this week which meant several children are in foster care. Just a sad week.

10:22 pm

such sad news, Mas. I'm not surprised you're feeling how you're feeling.

10:23 pm

Well -- this is the best I can come up with, given the minimal brain cells firing right now -- its the cover of a Wolf Sticker Safari book :)

10:23 pm

I'm sorry mas.... this has indeed been a week.

10:24 pm

He looks like a safari wolf to ME, GW!!!!!!! Good job!

10:24 pm

It most certainly has, Mama. Interesting to say the least, all round. : /

10:24 pm

good going, GW! : )

10:25 pm

Well - I took my sweet time but I'm finished. I guess I should get myself together and go do some errands. Or not..............

10:26 pm

Mas, I know a divorce lawyer, and after many years of experience, she still finds it hard where children are concerned. It's very hard.

10:26 pm

congrats, Dianne! : )

10:26 pm

Good evening everyone!

10:26 pm

Yea Dianne!!!! Hey Babbler - what are they going to do with that whale in the river?

10:27 pm

thank you, thank you :)

10:27 pm

Yayyy for Dianne!!! Hi again, Lupe!

10:27 pm

Mas, I'll check the news.... the last I heard, they were hoping the high tide would encourage it to swim out to sea....

10:28 pm

good job dianne! this one is like pulling thorns out of my paw for some reason. Hi Lupe!

10:29 pm

Thanks mama - need any clues?

10:30 pm

oh no, Mas.... it's been spotted further inland. The last sighting was a couple of hours ago. The poor thing! I think, by the sound of things, it's not very well. :(

10:30 pm

Not sure why I am here....should be sleeping... Grey - earlier I posted that I had a CD that has the song Shaving Cream, but wasn't sure if it was the one you were referring to. The CD is Dr. Dimento's Greatest Hits.

10:30 pm

whale news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1 /hi/engl and/london/4633878.stm

10:31 pm

Mamabear: Did you read my message regarding our son being arrested at age 13? I didn't get a response from you.

10:31 pm

Thanks for checking for me Babbler. I'm hoping for the best.

10:31 pm

mas - who's the cute little boy in your icon?

10:32 pm

I thought I did JoJo - I'm sorry - Yes I did read it. It is a hard thing no matter what the age. I don't know what possesses them to make their decisions sometimes. A lesson is always learned. But it is awful to go through. he has always insisted on learning things the hard way.

10:32 pm

My one and only grandson!

10:32 pm

y/w Mas. I was wondering myself! : )

10:32 pm

Lupe -- I missed that -- but it probably is -- Believe it or not, for all my love of novelty songs, I have heard very little Dr. Demento :D Is there a verse about a baby falling into some shaving cream?

10:32 pm

He's adorable!

10:33 pm

10:34 pm

10:36 pm

Mamabear: When I went thru all that, I thought, at one time, I was having a heart attack, when we were down in juvi. But he is a successful man today. Hang in there. I had one guy who I worked with me said, that he had worked with kids for a long time, and he said that my kid was a good kid, but sometimes good kids get into trouble. Has he been in trouble before?

10:37 pm

lupe -- email sent :)

10:39 pm

Grey - you've got mail...

10:39 pm

Babbler - please check your mail..... now - you won't believe it

10:40 pm

Excuse me, how do you all know one another's email. Is there a place on Babbler that shows that?? Sorry, guess I am stupid.

10:42 pm

Jo Jo = I don't know about anyone else, but my email address is in my bio

10:42 pm

Mamabear - replied... : )

10:43 pm

JoJo - yes he has, he is a challenge.

10:43 pm

JoJo -- my email is in my bio -- I set up an account on Yahoo specifically to allow people to get in touch with me because of all the interesting people I have met here

10:43 pm

MamaBear: Are you doing OK? Is your son in juvi, or is he older?

10:44 pm

I am ok. He is home. Yes he is older.

10:45 pm

And JoJo --- You are NOT stupid, so please don't talk yourself down like that :)

10:46 pm

Woulfie: So, it is in Yahoo. I have an account on Yahoo, for our investments. But, sort of stupid, I guess, but how do I do that?

10:46 pm

I am trying to fight off the strongest sweets/chocolate craving. Earlier it was beer (didn't drink it). But there are two bags of hershey's chocolate mints, and a box of cocoa krispies trying to get my attention in the kitchen!! ARGH!

10:47 pm

Lupe - I hear you. I bought a bag of kettle chips.... to nibble..... did I?? did I heck!! polished the lot this evening!! LOL!! :D

10:47 pm

Hi Everyone

10:47 pm

Babbler - didn't get here yet - must be caught somewhere over the ocean by a slow flying mongoose!

10:48 pm

JoJo -- What I mean is that I set up a personal account in Yahoo -- taking advantage of their free service -- and have only posted it here in my profile at Babble

10:48 pm

11:05 pm

Never cared much for the jelly but give me a spoon and a jar of PB and I'm in heaven

11:05 pm

Mama -- I obviously never had that prob -- but I still make them that way! ;D

11:06 pm

Remember how they used to tell us that eating PB straight from the spoon was a choking hazard? And now, they sell PB in squeeze tubes!!!!

11:06 pm

YUM! This hits the spot!!!

Good Point GW :)

11:07 pm

That's funny! Did they really say that???

11:07 pm

I gave up Mama - still need 60

11:08 pm

Lupe - you're gonna have us all making pb&j's in a minute!!! I never heard that about choking, GW.. hmmmmmm

11:09 pm

11:17 pm

Mamabear - replied.. and it is so mild in London, I'm just in a t-shirt and my heating is on low...... : / I wonder what happened to the treacherous winter they forecast for us?

11:17 pm

my curtains are down and am afraid to look out. did you see the lightning and hear the thunder earlier? I was out in the rain/snow mess after work buying Disney on Ice tickets for my family (it was worth it, we got great seats).

11:17 pm

11:19 pm

ne6 ... what you do to your pets.

11:19 pm

Babbler -- the worst part about the weather for Mamabear is that I am not that far from her and the temp is in the mid 50's -- this is one of the craziest weather patterns for this time of the year I can recall

11:19 pm

Lupe - diet it is!!! in actual fact, nuts help us to LOSE weight!! scientifically proven! (and it works for me!)

11:20 pm

Yikes - the snow is back..... :-(

11:21 pm

Weather patterns all over are crazy! But it's not global warming so I guess we have to blame Mother Nature.

11:21 pm

Peanuts are high in co-enzyme Q10, which is essential for cell repair. My gums bleed from time to time, when I brush my teeth, so I eat peanut butter for my gums. (and cos I love it!)

11:22 pm

Everyone: I heard some things regarding losing weight at all, so just had to chime in. In 1998 I weighed 210 lbs. I now have lost 75 lbs. How did I do it, just didn't go onto all these diets advetised, I just ate what I usually did, only less of it, AND excercised. Stayed away from breads, potatoes, and sweets. But, I made it. Proud of myself.

11:28 pm

What about my sc6/24???

11:29 pm

breads are my downfall - ok, breads and cheese are my downfall.... OK PIZZA, THAT IS MY DOWNFALL!! there I feel better now.

11:29 pm

thnx alot

11:33 pm

Mama -- how's this helping you?

11:34 pm

Lupe, when you have a craving, you can just have a little bit of something, just for the taste. Then you don't have to feel guilty after it's all over..... (voice of experience here!) ;)

11:35 pm

.... and I find it's best to have exactly what I'm craving, not a substitute... cos I'll only go and have the craving aswell..... bad bad bad. :/

11:35 pm

Hiya, anyone have a clue for the si 6/24 & si7/36?

11:35 pm

JoJo and hootowl - I found your lost 130 lbs!

11:35 pm

Better to give in to a little taste then to hold back hold back and then splurge totally -

11:35 pm

I suppose I could have had a spoonful of PB versus the entire sandwich - but it really was good.. *grins*

11:35 pm

Then just sort of drifed in weight for a few years, then got down to business, and lost the other 35 lbs. Still maintaining ~~ on my own, by the way. No diet plans for me.
