Mornin...
Hi Darleen! (*Hug*)
GW! hugs back atcha.
oh oh this one looks nasty already.
Woof all. Just waiting to see what the verdict is, have several hours work ahead of me yet tonight so it'll have to be a teeeeeeny grid...
Yeah -- I have nothing over 5 yet
Hi Griff! (*Hug*)
but I got the Z already LOL... oh my.
Oh, 82 - that's doable. Set timer 20 min and here I go
is 82 teeney enough?
82??? really????
So I told folks before the flip... They have moved up the c-section -- Kirsten will be going in to the hospital THIS friday instead of next week
Woo hoo dad!
GW I'll bet you're BOTH relieved.
Pretty much, Darleen -- looking forward to meeting SEbastian and Kirsten is looking forward to getting her energy back as well :)
Hello! I forgot I was here and when I looked again, the grid was today's and not yesterday's. [All muddled]
hi zubie!
Welcome back from vacation zubie!
Thanks mab! Hi Griff!
Surprised to see the military's unexcused absence as a valid word - maybe it means something else too?
Was prowling around your blog yesterday, Griff :D
I saw your comment, yes. :) Now I feel bad that I haven't updated it for over a week - I didn't know company was coming! :)
Disable has a handful of acronyms, Griff. Never the ones one would think of, of course...
I think disable must have a dartboard too...
Keep you on your toes, Griff! ;) Now I'll prowl around there when and as I wish. ;D
You and the others with nothing but the bottom of the barrel to scrape, I guess. I have a boring life but it doesn't stop me from writing at length about it. :)
I thought it was interesting!
Well, you'll love it when it's caught up - my big feature will be a photograph of the newspapers that have been stacking up unread. Take a tranquilizer beforehand so you can handle that! :)
I'm bummed that the gently flowing sweet Afton isn't a valid word but at least now I'm humming that pretty song...
Hi Everyone -- got the old laptop fired up, so I'll be here for as long as it keeps working! Can't wait for that new computer to arrive. :}
Hi c-nan! (*hug*)
Hi nan - little grid no worries -
cybernan, scroll down and find out what (who) else is arriving on Friday.
bummer - jethro tull isn't a word
Will do, Griff.
And, my car is being repaired on Friday (my life is almost as exciting as yours Griff). Ren, is that your book cover? The torah? Wow.
yupe mab...think the torah is my fav book!!! ( or scroll)
Okay my dinger just dinged so I have to get back to work. Make short work of this one, kids. See you on the blog, Zubie. Mab, I had my car in the shop last Fri. We're walkin on the wild side. 'Bye all.
later grif!!!!
Toodle - oo, griffs.
So long, Griff -- see you soon! (*hug*)
bye ren (bye nan bye gw and etc ad infinitesinundum)
That's really interesting, ren. We'll have to discuss some time.
Morning dear gang :)
ok mab...my e-mail is in my whatever here...these aren't my torah mantles...i found them on google....but i sure like them!!!
Morning sprite!! (*Hug*)
Morning dear Sprite!
hi sprite!!!!
We are celebrating here. My daughter (almost 8) has managed to stay dry all night for 3 nights in a row, without aids. :D
Yep, that's a very nice image ren.
sprite - that is wonderful!!!!!
hi gang! : )
Excellent Sprite's daughter!
congratualtions, sprite! I have news as well -- Sebastian will be arriving this Friday!
thanks mab....8) guess i should go to sleep 5 am isn't far away...
Babs!!!!
gosh, lots of good news in the log today!! :D:D:D
Hi Babbler! -- the baby shower is going to past date the birth now ;)
babbler...just so you know...i took your advise and finished yesterday's grid and even went out to supper!!!!
later all!!!!
Laila tov, ren.
good for you, ren! :D hey Mab! :) GW - awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! :D
G'Nite Ren! (*HUG*)
laila tove mab!!!!
Ren, don't you want to know how I did in my 30 min challenge?
Yes, it really is! It was so hard for her and she still had to use diapers and all, never could stay dry for even one night. And then last weekend she came to me sunday night, and said she was out of diapers and had not given it any attention, and I kind of lost it. I was so fed up with her leaving all the work to us and just WAITING until all of a sudden things would work out without her trying. Remember, my washing machine had crashed too... And I put her to bed without diaper, and told her she had to REALLY give it a try. And she did, and it worked, and she is proud as hell now :D :D We too!
Wow Woulf! That's wonderful... too early to have the same birthday as my daughter, but still wonderfull :D
awwww, Sprite! great news! She was ready, wasn't she? And you let her reach it in her own time. Bless you. : )
That's great, Sprite. Mothers are awesome.
I have never wanted to push her, but she is kind of inborn lazy. Really. We always say she must have been some kind of queen of queens in another life, not used to do anything for herself. So it takes some coaching to get her to try and risk failing and all... but it is so wonderful when she does and feels how rewarding it is, and what a boost for one's self esteem, if she really tries and succeeds :D I am real proud of her.
Wow! -- GW, just been through the log -- how exciting! Still remember how awful, those last few weeks of pregnancy are -- bet Kirsten is pleased to be getting it over with a little sooner.
I am not feeling much love for the grid at all right now ---It may be a small, but it is very frustrating -- I have 42 words -- none of the 6's or 7's and only 6 of the 5's
41 words, 4 sixes no seven.
I'll go and give it a try, have been too busy chatting to do more than 20 words. Hang in there, Woulf, here's company ;)
Thanks sprite -- though no matter what, I am turning in in 20 mins -- I have to open the store in 7 hours :)
I got to 47 words in my 30 minute challenge (self-imposed). : ) no biggies though.
Sleep is important, Woulf, especially for fathers who are about to go without much sleep for quite a while ;)
I know sprite, hence the now 18 minute time limit ;)
Not just a Grey Woulf, but a Wise Woulf :) Love you, and lots of hugs!
I'm heading off to (try to) sleep now. see you all later and happy babbling! : ) GW, in case I don't see you, lots and lots of love and luck for Friday ((*GW and family*)) : )
((**Babbler**)) -- with luck I'll see you before then -- Sleep Well, Dream Deep
Sleep well, Babbler! Help, we have never been closer to 'anthology' than today, now have we... and I WANT it!
M7/36: tiny detail.
thanx sprite :)
I was on the trail of that one, but once again went left when I should have gone right!
Thought I couldn't let you hit the hay without at least one biggie ;) Can't find any of the others yet, though.
Ok. Surprise! I've just surprised myself by discovering that I'm still here.
Hey zubie! You're here :)
Hi sprite! :D Yes, I'm here. Returned here yesterday. To the grid, I mean. Just got back from vacation. How are you?
I am okay, just not doing very well with the grid. It's a tough one! How are you?
I'm ok, sprite. Thoroughly unbabbled though. Did they change the babble mode to some unheard-of language while I was away? ;D
M7/40: To free from slavery or bondage; emancipate.
LOL zubie! No, they did not, don't worry... it IS a tough grid. You'll be fine, just as we, from tomorrow on (I hope!)
Thank you, sprite
Will you be able to sleep peacefully now, Woulf? Then I have done my good deed for today ;) ;)
I will sleep better for having the 7's indeed, sprite -- though I am amazed that I still have none of the 6's and am down to 33 left to find -- but they will keep til later (*HUG*) :)
22 words. Oh hooray! I hereby retire from babbling and make myself the onlooker who babbles. ;D The second babble being different from the first. :P
And so I bid a fond farewell to all and go forth to seek my slumber... (*Hugs to all*)
Sweet dreams, Woulf! There are at least a few 6s that are common words, you'll find them when you have slept :) H4/12: one of those nasty little ones we have seen before. Always reminds me of wtf.
'Night, GW :) Sleep well.
Also L4/10. Another of those little b@st@rds.
hello.... only 82 words hmmm... usually a brain twister....
Hi Blaze! Yes, it is. Almost done now, but there are a few nasty ones among them.
oh yes I can tell already....
There are some hints in the log already. Some others: when you have found the H6 with nothing in it, don't be shy and try some stupid alt. spellings of the same. Also: give M6/21 another last letter to find M6/24 (or mistype, as I did)
And there's another M6/24 that could be called a shape shifter. Good luck hunting to y
sprite thank you... you are a doll......I am at 27 now...
oopss make that 36 I have been busier than I thought
... to you all, I wanted to say, before babble went and posted my message all by itself. Have a great day!
and to you Sprite enjoy
Hi all... how is everyone?!
all is well here with me.....
oh my I must depart.... see you tomorrow have a great puzzle. and a super day..
Good night all -- struggling without being able to use BJ's list (no printer, can't run more than one program at the same time) --- calling it a night with 29 to go. Hopefully, I'll be smarter in the morning. :)
anybody got a clue for wi 5/28 please
Looks like a nasty lil puzzle today.....
jcp1966 my own definition to get a smell of something
thanks a lot. I finally finished a babble puzzle. Thanks
congrats jcp 1966!!! way to go
jpc sorry I'm dyslexic. what does your name stand for?

un5/18 - what most of us are before we start going to the gym
Thanks Ho Hum perfect clue. How about the ma 6 21 and the ma 6 24 anything for them? thanks
can't help on those :(
can anyone help with ma 6 21 and ma 6 24 Thanks
ma6/21 spanish for little hand
An earlier clue was to give the ma 6/21 a different last letter for the ma 6/24.
tbear thanks, down to my last word, the mi 7/36
that mi 7 is REALLY little.
Yeah like insy small and almost insignificant
Thanks Q and tbear I'm done!!!! :)
De nada Elmer :)
I've got a few minutes does anyone need any help?
How about a clue for the mu 6/24? Thanks.
Elmer that would be great...if you could clear the kitchen and put the washing out,I could carry on Babbling with a clear conscience...lol....Have a good day Elmer
Thought I was the first Brit on here this morning but, reading back, I see Babber was up late! Only a little one today. I'm going to try and do it over breakfast.
Morning hydra..
dalmation did you see the movie X-men? you can find them there
Morning, tbear. Hard frost in Hillingdon. (Sounds like the title of a novel!)
White tops in Bristol..........new kitchen cleaner (Elmer!!)...lol
Thanks!
tbear, sorry I'm on the side of the world and my telepathic abilities just not up to that level.
hydra....can't place Hillingdon?
Is Elmer in mob cap and pinny, with feather duster?
Shucks Elmer....!
NO.....blue knickers over red tights,I think
Where I am is one street away from where Uxbridge starts. It's at the end of the Metropolitan line, near Heathrow airport. I'm camping out there, staying with boyfriend while my new house is decorated. New house is in North London.
hydra...no wonder it rang a BELL...worked from Heathrow with BA and had a place in Ealing....
Gosh, tbear, I used to live in Ealing, too. The first flat I ever bought was off South Ealing Rd. I was working for a pop music publishing co. Then bought cottage in West Ealing. Small world!
Absolutely...hydra
Taking my printout of Babble grid down to kitchen now. See y'all later.
Hasta later girl
I have the only Z word. I am trying to figure out the other word that uses a Z in it. Anyone got it that can give some clues? I'd be most appreciative. Thanks :)
There is an ice skating jump that starts with an L and has the letter z in it.
Ah! Thank you. That's all I needed. :)
That other word using the Z, was not offered in the a2z wordfinder when I was plugging in word ending using the Z. That is only the second time that has happened. Were the word in the Babble puzzle in not in the a2z wordfinder.
I wish 'foto' would be accepted.
LOL I tried it twice before accepting that it was'nt there.
How many words are there today? Does any body have a listing? Thanks!
82 words, carrie
Thanks hydra!
carrie5752 - check out the Babblers Anon site each day for stats. http://p105.ezboard. com/fbabblersanonymousfrm2.sho wMessage?topicID=6.topic
I need one more word - the ma 7/40. Can anyone offer a clue??????
Thanks for the tip Boatierra !
dalmatian - 1st 3 letters same as ma6s, means to free from slavery ...
ma 7/40 To free from slavery or bondage; emancipate.
Wow, I had the hardest time finding that word! Thanks so much for your help.
Good morning, everyone. I've allowed myself a little while to babble, now I have to get on with some preparation work for decorating the house - painting and paper stripping. Why does it take so much longer than on TV?
Hi neats are you there?

Mornin!!
hi, I'm only on 44 and stuck may well give in now and do something more constructive.. paint my nails, go for lunch, open a bottle of bubbly, have caviar and toast.. got to be more rewarding than this today..
Morning Adsman, I assume you are one of the cheesy lot!
what do you mean chessylot Mummy you lost me
Not sure if I've wished everyone Happy 2006. Been frantically busy but do have an hour this morning.
oh, think, 'location location'!
mummy adsman is more than cheesy !!!
Ahhh got ya
Hi Alleyn It may be a small grid but the words are well buried.
watch is Hebbzy
now now boys, settle down
I'll sort them out mummy
I give up, going to make a nice cup of hot chocolate and warm up. see you later
adsman !! you aint big enough
you aint clever enough
sorry, how many words have you got !! thats words that you have got on your own !!!
15 i have just started sticks out tongue
thats 15 that you have heard us mention !! sticks finger up
you and I cant prove that either way so agrees to disagree.... sticks two fingers up
we can prove it, i bet you got the same words i got !!
hebbzy and adsman, you're just fooling around, I"m sure. But, I'm rather fragile today..so, please speak nicely to each other. TY
funny that we are doing the same puzzle
sorry gramma, office banter thats all
ok gramma i'll stop now........but he did get the words from me !!!
I know that you would never be that impolite to each other. I'm sure you're just playing, but; it can be upsetting. So again thank you for minding your manners.
Can anyone provide a clue for the lu6/24?
ooooooooohh !!!
Can either one of you give me a hand w/the ma7? I read the clues in the log;but, I can't seem to think of the word.
FMitch-think light and give it a feminine ending.
What's the theme today? I'd look it up but my computer is being persnickety and if I leave the grid I might not get it back for a while.
Hi Eva, As soon as I read yr great clue I saw the word, thanks.
Fmitch, lu+not yours but m***, change that last vowel
yr welcome~!
i can, change the first letter of the highest point
Theme today is book covers (favourite or otherwise I guess).
can't get 2 of the mu words - the second mu4/6 and the mu6/24. Any clues?
Got the 4/6 now.Monkey typed it. Still can't get mu6/24.
Sorry hydra, not there yet :{
hydra there was a good clue earlier for the mu6, something about if you've seen the movie X-Men (I think it was) there are lots of these in it.
mu6/24 teenage mu**** ninja turtles
Thanks! How could I be so stoopid?
lol
76 words. Not far to go.
good going hydra, shout if you need anymore help.
Thanks, FMitch. Will do.
Wow! How right you were - it's very tricky
any help on the z?
gramma, any joy on the ma7/40 ?
mia, just go round in a circle on the grid either left or right will do it.
hebbzy, I'm sorry, I didn't understand your question. I did finally find ma7...w/the help of one look dictionary.
how many letters am i looking for?
mia, think of a teenage skin complaint and add an extra vowel.
z4/9
Need some help on wi5/28
For the Z - Synonyms: tubular pasta = tubular-shaped pasta = tube-shaped pasta
anyone have the second z ?
there is only one z isn't there?
hebbzy its in the lu4/10 skating jump.
No! There's only 1 x Z
i have the skating z, but i'm sure there is another !!
there isn't, one word starts with a z and one other word uses the z today - for sure as I have completed the grid.
sorry should have said the z only appears twice today at the start of my last post, can't type today.
fmitch i have just found the z word !!
Stuck on 79. Can't find un5/18 or wi5/28.
WTG!
un5/18 - opposite of physical vigour
I just found this site and am trying to figure out some of the clues you all are talking about... what do you mean when you say lu6/24? Or wi5/28? I get that the word starts with lu or wi but what do the number mean? TIA
wi5 - 1st three letters of female spouse, followed by last 2 letters of 50
Hi Haz, taking a break from the decorating? sobersea - if you have a look under babble rules at top of page all will be explained.
You can only strip so much paper off before you need a breather! The dog is very puzzled....
LOL I bet!!!
Got stuck in update purgatory for a while there. Is it just my computer or has the site been really iffy this past week or so?Anyway, 57 words and my brain is fried, the cat has bitten me for not feeding him and the house is cold, so adios for the moment.
That's weird! I tried that half an hour ago and it wouldn't let me have it. I'll try again.
Does that cat not realise it shouldn't bite the hand that feeds it?
Yes, it let me have it this time. Just un5/18 to go now.
Eva I had probs getting onto the site this morning and it has been hic-uping on and off this week, must unusual! See you again soon.
Got it! All done. Anyone need any help?
I'm done too - some odd words today
THere are! esp in the h's
Yahoo hydra, spellit and ME. Done!
Hi everyone.Happy Burns Night to you all.
What is burns night?
macadam Long time no see, are you and your PC better?
Hello gramma.It`s the night Scotland celebrates the life of Robert Burns,their most famous poet.Living with a Scot it seems appropriate.
Ahh, I see. And what do we do to celebrate this holiday?
http://www.rabbie-burns.com/bu rnssupper/ might help
FMitch, hello to you too.Yes we are both in good health at present.Germs from school got me and gremlins got the pc.Fingers crossed we both remain OK.
macadam, will you and yours be piping in the haggis tonight?
The only occasion I was involved in the celebrations ,someone read poetry and the drink flowed freely.Haggis and neeps (mashed turnip) was served then it all goes hazy :-)
Confession time.I don`t like Whisky.
LOL that makes 2 of us macadam
Charlottes web was one of our choice books when the children were small.Lotti cried at the end when the baby spiders blew away.
Cock-a-leekie ok...tipsy laird sure...but, I'll have to skip the hagis Blaah. What are bashed neeps?
I loved the story as a child and actually still have my childhood copy of the book.
Sorry. I'm a little slow today. Just scrolled down and saw the answer. Everything sounds good..except the dreaded haggis.
gramma - I was very dubious the first time but it is actually very tasty although a bit too herby/spicy for my liking.
FMitch and macadam, I'm rather fond of the whiskey. Maybe I could help you get rid of yours :D
LOL gramma, that sounds like a plan!
They make veggie haggis now.Lots of beans in it I have been told.Hubby wouldn`t be a happy bunny if I gave his whisky away but he`d offer you a dram for sure.
Well I'm off. I have alot of planning and shopping to do. Never celebrated Burns Night; but, I'm not one to let any excuse for a party get by me. Wont every1 be surprised tonite
Good for you gramma.Enjoy yourself.
mornin babblers! i see today is a shorty -- is it also a toughie??
Thanks every1. Babble is more than just educational, it's a cultural and culinary experience. See ya on the flip and I'll let you know how it goes.

mi7 think small details.Hi evenadine small and sneaky grid.
thanks, macadam!
Morning all!
A pleasure Une.

Thanks macadam any for the mu4/6 the second one
Sorry Rosalind I`m looking for that one myself.

Anyone have the wi5? I am just not seeing it.
Thanks eva ,got that one it`s the third mu word I`m looking for.
Thanks evendine got it at last now finished see you tomorrow bye
second mu4/6 think of an invented abreviation for what you put in guns etc
Jen it sounds like 50.change first letter
That's a word?!?!?!!? Thanks mac! :)
ah, tbear, i see we share a literary love!
Hi Tbear and thanks.
no probs Macadam,nice to 'see' you
Just thought a hunky Scot would be suitable for Burns Night.
Une...how nice,I love this book have had to replace my copy hundreds of times as I always seem to end up meeting people and giving mine away...got my brother into it years ago and now he collects copies in different languages. His birthday soon,gunna send the dvd of the opera,which I've heard is very good... :)
cant see the mi7 at all !! any other clues
mi 7 (60 seconds) less E plus 2 vowels
hebbzy....try 60 seconds minus the last letter then add two other vowels
hebbzt mi +a hard shelled fruit + two different vowels
thanks guys, only 15 to get now !!!
Apologies hebbzy ,cold fingers are my excuse for spelling your name wrong.
no probs macadam, i bet thats not the only thing thats cold in that kilt !!
Poor guy ,not a good time of year for kilt wearers.Fortunately that`s not me.
lol
Mornin' all... it's short but is it sweet??
{{{{ Jera}}}} !!!!!
"Where ere ye be let the wind blaw free" is a very unpleasant thought in winter!!!!!!!
Hi Jera No soo sweet but some good clues in the log and a great satisfaction once done :)
{{{JEN!}}}
Ooh, FMitch... your album cover was my second choice! Great music!!
yea, yesterday made me quite nostalgic for the old vynl disks
morning all! what's the theme today? Book covers?
Yes, Atalante!
tbear, here's the opera website! www.lepetitprince.com/en/REVER B/opera_uk.php
What's the rule for 5 letter words? Double the points? Trying to do math way too early in the morning...
I think you are right... check the babble rules at the top right of screen....
yes Jera it's x2 for 5, x3 for 6 etc
ok, there we go :) book cover added!
I'm lazy... I knew someone here would know, LOL
Une..thank you very much for the website.. :)
Atalante I almost chose that one this morning, was looking for Hobbit ones, then thought of that but decided to go back further into my childhood instead.
Please....has anyone got the ho5/16,the ho's have been so silly so far,I'm fed up with looking
woohoo FMitch! And I thought I'd stay more "adult" as everyone else seems to be going childhood way!
I am finaly down to five words to fing... and updated my icon....
Bwah-hah! Got that wi5 doing the freakin' math!! *laughs maniacically for no good reason*
what an owl say + a question letter
ho4 + "sometimes" vowel
I'm having a hard time reading some of the titles. Atalante, what is yours?
Thx Une and Eva....like I said...another 'silly' word
"The Silmarillion", Jen. Tolkien book
jera used a puzzle-word! jera used a puzzle-word! neener, neener, neener!!
Gotcha! Thanks!
1 to go...wi5...can even monkey type it
Ouwachita -- rhymes with 50 :)
thanks...evan...was using the wrong t
Hello everyone! Please could someone put me out of my misery over the darn ma7/40?? I know the first three letters and that it means 'set free'....please save me from using a2z! : )
DONE...anyone need a clue??
Wuthering Heights! I just *love* that book!
Hey lola! Sorry, I don't have that one yet.
atalante, I think we may have been separated at birth... : )
Ouwa does!
ma7...latin for "hand" + what you put on hands when it is cold
Lola to free from slavery or bondage.How are you daughter dear?
lola Hi Sisi - start from the 2nd m - opp of female + vowel + another word for glove (sorta)
Ouwa, thank you!!! : D Hi jen : ) Mom! ((x)) How're you feeling?? : )
AAArrrgggg after hunting every possible hu5/14,I got it and it was a 'normal' but american version word. I want to run screaming thru the house shouting it at the top of my lungs.....since I started finishing these blasted puzzles,I've CHANGED character
Hi sis! : ) Hey tbear! : )
tbear -- thats not really the american version either...heh... at least no one *I* know says it!
F mitch much thanks..... I am done with this grid...
Fine thanks lola,at last.
Really eva......must be scottish then...lol
mom, who is that in your icon?? : )
Hi Lola.....hope I'm ok for Sun..have a nasty throat feeling coming on and feel exceptionally tired!!! Da da daaaaa...?
Oops, sorry about using the word... one of those evil 4 letter ones.. *hangs head in shame*
I hope so too tbear! Get lots of rest...and lay off the ciggies! : )
Okay, Latin for hands is not in this puzzle... not any form that I know (but I'm just a novice)...
latin for "hand" ... word derived from it usually has "script" fro the second part
Lola,he was a hunky Scotsman to celebrate Burns Night but I felt sorry for him in a kilt on such a cold day i`ve changed to a book cover now.
mom, I see that. He was easy on the eye though, wasn't he?? ; )
I figured that much Ouwa... having trouble ending it... no worries, plenty of time today...
35 words left, but i gotta hit a meeting...thats scheduled for 2 hours. *UGH* heres hoping it doesnt last NEARLY that long!!
Of course :-)
jera...second part...in the winter, we usually either wear gloves or these...
jera, sounds a bit like DC's Washington M*******
Well, I have a pile of ironing here that appears to have MY name on it : / See you all later, happy babbling! : )
I have plenty of time today... Gwyd isn't going to school... he was up half the night having trouble with both ends, poor thing...
Take care lola .
Ah-hah! I was strting at the wrong M... thanks for the hint, Unea...
Have fun, Lola... laters!
jera...think what a baseball catcher puts on his hands to catch the pitch
My sweet baby wants Girl Scout Cookies for breakfast...
Got it, Ouwa... it's hard to help me sometimes!
Jera, if he can keep them down, I say go for it!
Time for lunch.See you later folks.
bye Lola and macadam
Bye mac, lola!
I agree, it's shortbread, after all... Sprite wants me to get him a kilt for the Games this summer... won't that be precious??
Later, Mac!
hi everyone! : )
Hey 72TO!
Can I have some help with the ho6/33... I'm afraid after figuring out the 2 before it...
well i see anj can still shout "woot" when he finfishes today...somehow wo4/6 just doesn't express the same excitement... LOL
Never mind, I got it... duh. Imagine a normal spelling???
20 words to go... gotta take a potty break & check on Lil' Bit... back in a while...
Morning, all. Well, this puzzle looks evil. Couldn't play yesterday. Had too much work to do. Hate it when that happens!
what a relief, only 82 words!
Just add another 0
sorry wrong clue -- its definition is something that is empty inside
previous clue was for h 6/33 - sorry
All done! Will come back later when chores all done.
WTG Jac!
Jacula....afore you go hun....to5/14...pretty pls
what you play with + opposite of off
Take back my previous post. This puzzle is not as evil as it first looked. Rather easy. Have 60 words already.
Add an N to your 4/6... (I know I'm not Jac, but I thought I'd give a clue anyway!)
Atalante...thankyou...I left to go...hahaha the z
Dancing round in happiness chasing my tail....... anyone stuck for clues?
Jen...thx for your clue too.. :)
Good morning!!! Any help w/ma 7/40?
You know, I really hate it when words are in here that aren't words... like the ho4/12 and the wi5!!!!
Nonny ma (oppo of woman) Vowel (oppo of me) then shoet version of something children wear on their hands in winter
Good morning everyone! tbear- great icon! it is one of my very favorites!!!
Mine too Bugzy and Evanadine who had same (similar) cover :)
thanx tbear.

Anyore for anymore.....before my celebratory game of backgammon
Haven't read Le Petit Prince since 10th grade French (in French)... should probably pull it out again!
I read it in Spanish class in high school, French class in college, and bought the English version for myself when I was pregnant with my first!!
Hello.
Hi harp!
tbear, since you did such a good job with the last clue, how about help with mi 7/36?
Bugzy was telling Eva earlier..I have bought so many copies,cos always end up giving them away,started my brothers mania for it,he now collects in diff languages and I first read it in Catalan 'El Petit Princep'. Eva gave me this infor for the opera website....www.lepetitprince.c om/en/REVERB/opera_uk.php
Nonny, it's the "little things" that matter! (or, 60 seconds-the E and replace with 2 vowels)
Hello everyone Nonny mi7/36 60 seconds, (drop the "e") + two vowels at the end
Hi Harp, Missy :) Opera? Hmm...I will check that out TBear - thanks :)
Tommorow is Australia day right?
Right
Ok lovely Babblers....I'm off,have a good dayand see ya 2moro... :)
Hmmm, it's also Australia day on PLayhouse Disney on TV!!! Is Babbler in cah4/5 with Disney Channel? :)
I'm back... yes tomorrow is Australia Day! Gwyd & Sprite are so excited, we are having a party!
bye tbear That is a strange coincidence, Jen
Bye t-bear :) Yeah, Jen, all Wiggles and koalas all day tomorrow!! Yippee :/
And I just saw a commercial for Aussie Mania on the Tennis channel!
There's a tennis channel?
What exactly does one do on "Australia Day"? (Besides guzzle Fosters and waltz with Matilda). Is it a bank holiday?
I think it's a national holiday for Australia, like our 4th of July...
We have a golf channel here
Any icon with an Aussie theme. (mine will probably lean toward the childish :)
If you're actually in Australia, it's customary to head to the beach & throw some shrimp on the barbie (not so much here since it's Winter Up Over)
Yeah, I didn't know we had it either... it was actually a commercial on HGTV for the channel. Any clues for af5?
My Girl Scouts are doing activities to earn a patch at the meeting tomorrow, might try to do some Chinese New Year, time permitting... that's Sunday...
nevermind.... Sherlock Holmes fan I didn't see it!!! Done!
Yay Jen!
Aussie Day sounds like fun. A toast to our pals down under. *raises jar of Vegamite*
Can I get anyone anything before I walk the dog then head to the gym?
morning everyone! what's theme today?
Judi, my son brought a jar of vegamite home from Australia...I don't think I could get used to it
efor...its book covers
No? Okay, see you guys tomorrow! Have a good one! :)
I have to say that I just love today's theme - mostly because I'm a librarian :)
bye jen :)
Bye Jen !
Bugzy...whats the book cover you're using?
Bye, Jen... LMK about Friday, okay?
Jera, I don't think it's gonna happen unfortunately... I haven't even begun to pack and I gotta take the cat back in for a follow-up before we leave. Can I take a raincheck for after we get home?
Missy - we've had long discussions here about the alleged palatability of Vegamite. I too could not eat it unless someone held a gun to my head. YAK!
It's the first Nancy Drew book, The Secret of the Old Clock. Got me hooked on mysteries :)
Bugsy, Must be an updated version or a reprint. My mom had a complete set I read as a child...the covers were plain and all the same, no jackets.
Dare I ask, what is vegamite?
harp...its a very dark, very thick paste, highly concentrated veggies...
What's it used for?
un5/18?
Only way I know to use it is put it on your sandwich or add it like a flavoring for soups and things
Harpjane - it's a sandwich/toast spread. Very salty.
harp if you skip a lot of days at the gym, you will become this... my this is a sneaky little grid today!
Un-5: Out of shape. Military: Un--- for duty.
Yes, it is a tricky grid. I see it now! ty
Missy - I think they had several different covers...when I Googled it I saw three.. this is the one I had :)
harp un5/18 un + have a conniption ***
Bugzy Yeah must be reprints. The Nancy Drew series has been around for around 50 years

Jera ahhhh a sick baby? :(
vegimite is a diluted version of good old british marmite, no comp!
way to go, jera! i am stuck at 62 so am pretty much not even in the 'little help' category yet : )
I'm just plunking along here Jera, thanks! Hope the little one feels better soon :)

Judi, there are 2 ma6 and 1 ma7
Good MOrning, help with ma6/21

Ma6-21: "In Algonquian religious belief, a supernatural power that permeates the world, possessed in varying degrees by both spiritual and human beings."
nena Lu 6/24 this is a word that means something lit up or bright, lu first mi4/5
HI, Bugzy
Hebzy: Yes, I know. I need the Ma6-24.
Ma 6/21 "small hand" in spanish
Thank you Missy ^_^
thanks, got the ma6/21
Sorry... I had to go investigate a loud crash in the living room... Yes, my son (4, not really a baby) is home sick today... up half the night with trouble at both ends if you know what I mean... so we are taking the day off to get well & watch movies!
I'm with ya'll: ma 6/ 24 ma 7/ 40 please

ma6/24 is just like 6/21, only a different (higher value) vowel at the end...
Thank you! Got all the ma's
How about mi 7/36?
Stuck at 40 words, must take a break and do my knee exercises. Will try to do them with out any pains meds.

nenaluli, thank you, you are so sweet. Tried the exercies yesterday with out the meds and OH BOY. Will see how it goes today. bbl
Dear missy, Thanks for a wonderful clue to the ma7/40. I have spent ages on that one, could have finished long ago. Thank you again, and again etc.
Missy, you lifesaver you. I have 2 words left =P lu 6/24 and no 5/20
ExWren & nena YW :)
AND she has a HP icon. Hehe awesome ^_^
nena lu 6/24 like the brightness of the moon, lu + first mi4/5 no 5/20 no + word that rhymes with the type of bovine we make hamburgers out of, or...like the polite inquiry, "*** do you do?"
That wraps it up for today thank you. one more firework display to celebrate and I have got the rest of the day to myself (well alright, with hubby as well).
ExWren Congrats! ~%~%~%~%~firework s~%~%~%~%~
I think mantoy should be a word
Thank you! Last word, mu 6/24
(If there is a mantis, why can't there be a manti!?)
Where do you all get your icons from? Some of them are terrific. I have mostly only used photo's from my own collection.
Nenaluli: Mu = think of the stars of X-Men.
nena mu 6/24 like teenage mu**** ninja turtles
An easy one! Duh me! BUT I'm finished! Thank you!
yay nenluli!
ExWren...what I usually do is put something like this in my search engine: book cover photo Then Google images comes up and I save the icon to My Pictures in My Documents
nenaluli Congrats!!! ~%~%~%~%~firewo rks~%~%~%~%~
^_^ who needs help now?
I'm done, too!!!
Yay Judi! Congrats!
finished too ^-^
= = = = = = = = = = = = @ {} fireworks!!
Wow. Everyone finished at the same time! Hehe party! Fireworks and... cookies! =P
Atalante & Judy Congrats to both!!! *sends little marching band their way*
Yeah, everyone was probably stuck on the same last word
<-- mutant =P
nena said a grid word, nena said a grid word, neener neener neener :)
HOLY CRAP. *cries* oh man I need some coffee.
nenaluli lol! Me too, brb
>_< Silly me
phew. glad I'm finished, now I can get back to my current obsession of drawing Hayden / ANakin / Star Wars stuff!
missy - is that the British Harry Potter cover?
efor...that's a great book!!
efor I believe it is :)
Atalante Do you use your art word as an icon for Babble sometimes? If not, it would be cool to seem some
greetings one and all
omigosh, efor, is that...rainbow brite?
Hello Hurshy...OMG I have that book, the original :), it was my mom's
hursh - I think you might need to refresh...efor has "Where the Wild Things Are"
yeah, the story is that my sister and i both wanted two books from our childhood - poky little puppy and big dog, little dog, and each had taken one. this christmas we agreed to buy each other the other one so we'd both have both. :)
I should say she has the cloth version, I bought the little golden book later for my kids
well, i still want to know if efor's icon USED to be rainbow brite.
sorry i was afk... thanks EB! one of my favorites when I was a kid. I had rainbow brite, but I changed it to go with the theme. she'll be back soon! :)
it's just i had forgotten all about rainbow brite's existence and then somehow when i saw it i remembered who it was anyway.
I'm actually trying to find a good one of Jem & the Holograms so I can use that one.
I <3 winnie the pooh. i have winnie the pooh slippers!
I haven't for a bit, Missy - but when it fits in with the themes, I do! but its here if you want to bore yourself for a few minutes! http://elegaer.deviantart.com/
nenanuli - me too (slippers & lovin' pooh)!! I updated my profile w/ some pooh quotes...
Atalante - does the deviantart page have a lot of adobe photoshop photos on it?
Hurshy that is so cool :) EB one of my favorite parts of a Winnie the Poo book, "Winnie the Poo and the Honey Tree": ...from the top of the tree there came a loud buzzing noise... Winnie the Poo sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think... "Think, think, think" he thought, "You don't get a loud buzzing noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing without it's meaning something." Then he thought a little while longer and said, "The only reason for a buzzing noise that I know of is because you're a bee." And he thought another little while longer and said, "And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is for making honey" And then he got up and said, "And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it!" so he began to climb the tree...
any clues on the wi/5 28 PLEASE
missy - yes indeed!!
sandypops wi/5 28 rhymes with 50
EB I quoted that by heart...I had read it soooooo many times to all my children! They loved Poo Bear too
Missy - I'm impressed!! I don't have kids yet...but I'm sure I'll be reading it over & over...
THank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, that one has been doing me head in
efor - nope. never used photoshop in my life - one of the few people who hasn't!
Atalante What lovely work you do!
just curious. my friend gets a lot of his picture inspriations from a deviantart page. thx! :)
sandypops...I wouldn't offically even call that a word. When I found it I just decided to add the sometimes vowel to the end of the word and it was accepted...and I was shocked! lol
Yep I was too, never heard of it, Oh well you learn something new every day dont you?
Hi everyone :)
hi lotti!
indeed sandy...and I insist on using the words I learn here in general conversation just to see the reaction I get out of people...they will either draw a blank or pretend like they know what I'm talking about lol
thank you :) *blush* and yes, deviantArt is *fabulous* for inspiration - its so diverse and there are so many wonderful artists on there!
k all. bbl. gotta get some work done. happy babbing! :)
Hehe awesomeness! Pooh quotes. Sorry I'm not too chatty, the boss is grilling me.
bye efor!!
Hi lotti :) EB I have a grandson on the way March 11, so I will have to dig the book out soon, and all the others I've kept, like the Berenstein Bears series and such...and of course, all the Dr. Seuss books...I have sooo many children's books
bye efor! hi lotti! how r u?
Bye efor :)
Hey Temple....I`m good thanks how about you?? :)
Missy - I have a bunch from when I was a preschool teacher...can't wait to read them all again!! Do you have any of the Tomie dePaolo books?? Or Robert Munsch...?? I love their books too!!
Hi T-Owl!!
i'm good! just finished and getting ready to go...lots to do today!
temple, b4 you go can i have help? i don't have either ma6
Busy day eh!!! Have a good one :)
Hursh: both start with male word. one is spanish "little hand" the other is nativre american shape shifter
ma6's ma6/21 same as word above but add a different vowel at the end, opposite of woman + vowel + opposite of "fro", like ** and fro. ma5/24 is like ma5/21 only add a different vowel at the end
EB I haven't any of those authors. They probably both started publishing after my children grew out of children's books
oh gosh, i forgot there aren't any s's, what is the ma7?
bye everyone and happy babbling! : )
See ya later Temple :)
hursh: emancipate
hurshy ma7/40 (oppo of woman) + Vowel (oppo of me) + something children wear on their hands in winter, (drop one "t")
Missy - they're worth looking into... there's one that makes me cry almost every time I read it...it's called "Love You Forever" (Robert Munsch)
*waves bye to all*
Bye Temple :) EB I just read your Poo quotes! So darling
Bye T-Owl!!
I just bookmarked Robert Munsch's official website. I'll pass on his name to my daughter whom I'm sure will be buying books to read to her little one
Missy - highly recommend the Love You Forever - esp. for boys...
brb I'm multitasking houseword...putting dishes in dishwasher and folding clothes currently...
housework*
I'm muli-tasking as well. I literally have a paintbrush in my mouth and one in my hand. Just finished first coat of celing paint in the hall and now have to take very puzzled but patient dog for a walk. See you all later, i hope.
bye Haz...
Ever thought of taking up juggling Haz :) lol
Not with paint brushes! Messy!
LOL....yeah that could be a problem !!!!! ;o) See ya !
Hi everyone!
Hi Hugs....how are you??
back in between chores
Hi lotti... I'm good. How have you been?
Good thanks. It seems like ages since i last spoke to you!!
It probably has been. I usually finish the grid when it's released at night.
Missy...the trouble with housework is that it never goes away!!!!!!
why is "woot" not a word? Anj uses it all the time, doesn't that give it credibility
lotti true true true...I have taken to giving names to my dustbunnies under the bed...great excuse not to look under there
The only time i ever seemed to see you Hugs was at the flip, yes....It`s not often i`m around for that, cos its 6am when we get it here :)
smaller I first time I saw it was when I started networking on AOL in the chatrooms...that's years ago now. It might be offically included in a dictionary some day...
And it's midnight when it flips here... I'm a nightowl! ;o)
LOL Missy....I know what you mean!!! I get a build up of my hair on the bedroom floor, where i sit and dry it. I really must vac it up soon. Smaller i think thats gone through everyones mind!!!
lotti lol! If you live around deer, collect the hair and put it on your plants deers like to munch on. Works great :)
Hugs my pc is in the bedroom, so i don`t like to be on it too early or too late, as my hubby works strange hours!!
lottijw i was reading the post thats the same with husbands they never go away, lol lol lol lol
hiya this is a toughie onlgot 5 words cant see anymore for the life of me lol
LOL Shorty!!!!! :) No Missy, squirrels but no deer!!
Michaela they`re in combats and camouflage today!!!! ;o)
lotti not sure if it would deter deer...they'd probably just use it for nesting material :)
MissyMe - would that work for rabbits that munch on my spring bulb growths?
The workers are here today finally putting in the new heater...they've been here for the last three days preparing our house for it..we needed a completely new system including ducts. We've been without that type of heat all winter...sure did save a bunch on gas, though. They're also putting in an e-lek-tronicky touch pad that would make NASA proud. What this probably means is I wont' be able to figure the thing out and we STILL won't have any heat! lol
It`s amazing what we learn on Babble.......and i don`t mean the words!!!!! Time to feed the children, before they dive in the biscuit cupboard!!!! See you all soon :)
missy - we have no heater...of course - who needs heat when it's 90F year round....8)
Hugabug you can try it...also toss around caienne pepper...and yuk...sorry about this but it works...your watered down urine...just sprinkle it around your plants...
MissyMe where do you live? is it real cold?
ren! lol Its the opposite here...we don't need central air...just a small air conditioner in the window does fine..we have a very small house
shorty...I live in the California foothills, about 2000ft elevation..we don't get much snow and temperatures stay either at or just above freezing most of the time...not too bad
well thats good don't want you to freeze to death
Our temps go from one extreme in the summer to the other end in the winter. We need both heater and air conditioner to be comfortable in the summer
how thoughtful :D We've been heating our house without our wood stove, which we should be doing anyway to save on propane which is getting ridiculously expensive!
Hugabugs I've always wanted to go to Manatoba I have a Manatoba Moose sweatshirt a friend gave me
with* our wood stove, not without* lol
I know its crazy
shorty - i've been to a few of their games. I do miss not having the Jets here any more though
Hugabugs It was like that for us when we lived in the valley...that valley bowl baked in the summer but milder winters where we didn't have to heat the house every day...
ahhhhh this is to hard
Adsman This puzzle is definitely a challenge! Did you get the word count from Babblers Anonymous...makes it go a little easier
MissMe - we've had a mild winter in comparison to what it's been like in the past. -30's C was normal winter for 2 or 3 months
Hugabugs!!! I'm sure how'd I'd cope with that...wow!
Cant look at it MissyMe my works security teams block that page oh well will keep struggling on LOL
I'll be heading down to Orlando in a month from today! Looking forward to the HEAT!!
Adsman - want us to post it here for you?
If you think it would help thanks

Thanks Hugabugs thats a big help
:o) It reminds me of the old times. Hey - my car is in here!
Mantoy isn't a word?!!
having trouble with FO4/8
Toilet with an F
FO4/8 spelled like another word for the toilet that is also a man's name
plurple I don't know why it's not included in the grid...guess that one slipped by Dr. God
sorry guys how about HO6/21
Hi all, anyone have a clue for the ma 7/40? Thank you..
small today...
82 words 4.44 858 That's all she wrote for me!
Hugabugs congrats!
adman, like ho 5/12 above plus another same vowell
chic - MissyMe has a good clue for the ma7 at 10:28 am
I wrote Dr. God yesterday and asked for a smaller puzzle... I haven't finished one in so long...
HO6/21 opposite of woman + vowel + opposite of "fro", like ** and fro. ma5/24 is like ma5/21 only add a different vowel at the end
thanks chic these words get funnier by the day
ty then, it's nice to have small ones every now and then
plurple even the small ones, (points to this grid), can be nasty too :)
Afternoon/Evening all .I think todays grid is harder than yesterdays!! Help please with mu6/24 and wi5/28 ty
Well I don't know if it WAS because of me... Dr. God said it was up to the Babble Gods... but ;)
Hi Caitlyn :) mu6/24 teenage mu**** ninja turtles wi5/28 rhymes with 50
plurple lol You mean Dr. God isn't a god???!!! o-0
I hadn't even realized it yesterday though... that today was game night. I have beat Mensans in Boggle bc of this game!
plurple good work!
Missyme Thank you !!!!!!!!!!l I have been going bonkers looking for them LOL
caitlyn lol You're welcome :)
yeah - no kidding. They should quote me on that on the front page. HAHAHA
caitlyn that wi word is an official "stupidhead" word
meeting............so very painful.......barely survived!!
thanx, hugabugs (and missyme) and you're welcome, adsman...
eva...you okay? YW chic :)
hey again everyone!
Hello efor..welcome back :)
I think you are right Missy .Having a year old all day has killed what brain cells i had.Fun but hectic!!!!!!!!!!!
plurple I love word games but I'm too slow for competition. Babble is just right for me because I have so much time to finish one
caitlyn lol! Aw, who needs brain cells?
caitlyn your little one a boy or a girl?
i had a meeting this morning that lasted FOREVER......... felt like i was banging my head against a wall for 2 hours!
Meetings are a waste of valuable time. Hi everyone!
arggh eva!!! Meetings are very boring, and just what exactly do they accomplish except to make everyone extremely grateful when they're over?
Deutsch Hiya :)
65 so far...
the last thing said at this meeting was "ok, so we cant actually beging doing anything at this point..."
And what's worse than meetings? Saturday seminars. I went to a pathetically useless one in mid january
Missy ...That was the youngest grandchild! (a girl) I have 4 others 2girls age 10 then a girl 8 a boy of 7 and now this new one. We take them on hols every year in our touring caravan(must be mad)lol
Deutsch You nailed it! When my husband was working at his last job he had to attend three meetings a day! A total waste of his valuable time..
Don't GET me started. so how about a clue for the ma7, please?
in my meetings i bring play doh and toys for those w/ short attention spans...like me!!!!
caitlyn wow, how wonderful for you! lol about the touring van..you must be overwelling with patience! I'm expecting my first grandbaby on March 11, a boy :)
Caitlyn. A woman after my own heart. I'm a caravan fanatic and adore taking my granddaughter and nieces away at every opportunity.
At the seminar, I did sudoku puzzles. A colleague read the news paper. LOL
grown boy + opposite of me/i + baseball catchers glove
ren!!!! lol lol lol ROTF!!! OMG, does anyone actually start playing with the stuff?
missy...yes...and we talk as we play..we record our meeting and we get some really good ideas...only no pen clicking is allowed!!!!
thats a brilliant idea!
thanks, evanadine! That one was driving me crazy.
evanadine lol That is so typical of today's silly approach to business! Someone told somebody somewhere meetings were the way to motivate your employees and we're now stuck with them until they're out of style
any hints for the 2 upper N words?
Ren, that's very creative. I may have to borrow that idea. Are you not allowed to take notes, or write anything down?
renfield lol! Maybe that's what America needs, a chicken in every pot and playdoh in every meeting :D
toys and play doh allows frustrated people to vent on the object, and not let it build up inside of them...it is very productive...keeps thoughts focused
eva no5/20 no + word that rhymes with the type of bovine we make hamburgers out of, or...like the polite inquiry, "*** do you do?"
Missy that is great.. the love you feel for your own kids is huge but the love for grandchildren belive it or not is bigger .........Maisie good to know there are other caravan nuts around!!!!!!!!
cheese-and-rice, thats a real word??!
evanadine - the 2nd upper n word is the beginning of a latin phrase meaning you didn't make any plea. You hear about people who plead n*** contendre
im 5/16 anyone? plz & ty!
Caitlyn which club do you belong to if any. Do you go on rallies or to meets?
gotta run, folks! I have 35 more to go but I have to get dog food! LOL
nvm! just guessed it.
efor im 5/16 im + add another vowel to the middle like the word above it
Deutsch Bye cya later :)
Maisie no we dont go on rallies although we are c.c members Hubby losing his nerv towing now ,but found a good field in West Wales which we love.
thanks CadFan -- never heard that before
Dinner ready - back later after line dancing.
eva did you find that word somewhere? lol
anyone who wants to use the idea is ok by me...hey my folks paid good money for my berekley education - 8)
Maisie have fun! Cya later :)
heh, i did -- do you need it?
eva, no I thought you literally meant there was a cheese-and-rice word, not just a clue to one :)
oh...haha.... i was referring to the No5 -- cheese-and-rice is just something my friends + i saw sometimes instead of cursing... another favorite is "thats horse-hockey!" ;)
lol eva! Okay..now I'm clear on it yeah, that word is a real pootiehead
Gee, this is the earliest I ever finished one...What to do until the flip? (ugh, housework most likely)
chic Congrats! *lights some candles in her honor* @ @ @ {} {} {}
tu for the cool candles!
any help this afternoon for the ma6's and ma7 ty
chic I'd being doing the rest of my housework right now but I'm staying out of the heater installers' way. I don't want to give them any excuse to finish up. They do seem to be doing a great job, though...very thorough
pbr ma6/21 opposite of woman + vowel + opposite of "fro", like ** and fro. ma5/24 is like ma5/21 only add a different vowel at the end ma7/40 (oppo of woman) + Vowel (oppo of me) + something children wear on their hands in winter, (drop one "t")
Im off now supper to cook .Catch you all tomorrow happy babbling...LOL X
bye Cait
caitlyn enjoy dinner! Cya soon :)
MissyMe -- thanks for the ma6 clues, I am still trying to crack the ma7!!
MissyMe -- got it -- I had the wrong hand attire!!
and i can't figure out that attire!!!
pbr how's this: opposite of woman is ma* + opposite of me, (just use one vowel here) + a baseball glove is also called a ****, (drop that last "t")
neither can I!
i was doing the wrong letter for opposite of me....
thx for all the clues missy
I hope the baseball glove attire is clearing than the child's glove :)
for the ma 7 try "the opposite of THEM"
clearer* not clearing* You're welcome pbr and bunny :)
Hello everyone - I'm just trying to get started. Any help with the *giggle* af 5/16. I just need a start. Oh yes and the am 4/5 ......Thank You.
ya now how you get a word stuck in your head (the wrong wrod) and can't get past it??? well i'm there. someone slap me upside the head to restart my brain LOL
af 5/16 a + that thing at the end of your leg you stand on
af - underway am: a +abbreviation for a period of time
well found that ma 7, who ever smacked me, thank you tons!!!
yay finally done see you guys later! <3
lol aknitter!
plurple Congrats! Bye bye :)
Cybernan and MissyMe - I got both. Your great thank you and now I'm on the road to finishing an 82 word grid. *wonders if it is really possible*
Good morning, everyone -- our old laptop is still going! ho 5/12, please?
faeriekae :) YW The grid is short but I think the military made up this one because most of the words are stealthed!
bye MissyMe.
MissyMe - oh great! That's just what I expected but what the heck I'm not into this for the rankings or I would be booted out LOL
Hello Cybernan ho 5/12 drop the last vowel from the word just below this one, (6/21)
ho 5/12 ends the same as a greeting, he***
TY Missy & bunny
the first 3 ho words use the double consonant and one has a double vowel too
faeriekae promise me you'll never look at my ranking unless you enjoy scrolling down a page 4-ever!
clue for the ho 6/21?
add a vowel to the ho5/12 before it
miametro ho 6/21 ho + double consonant + double vowel
MissyMe :) LOL
ho 6/21 -- what winnie the pooh says whe he greats someone (creative spelling of a greeting)
greetings all, theme for today? and clue for the mi 7 ?
norad -- Mi7 = small details
and the icon theme is book covers. :)
book covers - theme
thx eva...and bunny
Norad - scroll down to 12:45 pm (great clue)
Norad mi7/36 60 seconds, (drop the "e") + two vowels at the end
got it! thx for the great clues! also stuck on the lo 5's ...I have the one that goes with cartoons...
I found the definition for the ho6/21 word...it is a form of the greeting, He***, so is ho5/12
ho 4/8 anyone?
lu 6/24?
aknitter...ho 4/8 is name for a cow's foot...
first lo5 add a sometimes vowel to the word above it second lo5 this is a type of sponge you use to slough off skin cells while bathing
ty norad
cybernan lu 6/24 like the brightness of the moon, lu + first mi4/5
MissyMe-you are giving some great clues how about the an 4/4 and the 2nd au 4/5??? Please, I'll give you some of my Faerie Dust (*^_^*)
cybernan just in case you didn't have the first mi4/5 This word rhymes with one of Columbus' ships, the Pinta, the Ni** and the Santa Maria...
My last word...un5/18, I hate to ask for herlp with it, but I am officially brain dead!
faeriekae - an 4 - against au 4- opposite of uncle or the other one is what you drive
Herlp me....
an 4/4 usually used as a prefix, like an**virus
nm, I got it, IT WAS RIGHT THERE!
bunny - un 5 - if someone doesn't care for their children, they would be un _ _ _
Thanks, Missy -- should get the fish with that one
un5/18 Out of shape. Military: Un--- for duty
ty though EB and that makes me through!
Thank You * %* *&%* **Faerie Dust for clues** %*& *%
cybernan lol! *hands her some delicate orange chocolates instead*
faeriekae :D *stands in the dust then turns out the lights* Oooooo, I'm glowing in the dark!
See ya'll tomorrow, gotta pop the turkey in the overn.
Just got with the book cover theme *refresh* -- consider this the best entertainment reading I've had in a looooong time.
your welcome aknitter, I rarely get to help, just can't think that fast...thx for the clues Missyme and EB...you all are great at this game...
Bunnyvicious Bye
Bye bunny :)
bunny k enjoy! :)
bye bunny!!!
MissyMe-you did it right....*now a little for the grid so as the get me through this one*
Norad - lucky is more like it...I'm often beggin' for clues!! 8 D
Norad - I updated my profile w/ quotes from Winnie the Pooh...the first one is very appropriate!!
I used to write down the time I started the grid and then the time I finished. I stopped this because it was depressing...are they're really 25 hours in a day?
Missy - I pop in and out so much it would be hard for me to keep track. lol
Missy - I never attempted to do that...I catch the puzzle different times throughout the day...it would say 15 + hours all the time!! LOL!!
lol I do leave and come back while I'm working on it otherwise I would go bonkers...and blind.
That's funny EB and so true, my misses usually produce a word or two in every puzzle...LOL MissyMe, thank goodness only 24 hours, couldn't take another!
Mu 4/8 and 6/24?
wish I could help cybernan...I'm working on those too...
cyber - the mu 4/8 - in Egypt, these are wrapped up in cloth...drop the "Y" at the end
cybernan Mu 4/8 another way of spelling mom, with a double consonant at end 6/24 teenage mu**** ninja turtles
mu 6/24 - teenage mu _ _ _ _ ninja turtles (bonus points if you can name them!!)
Raphael is one EB...
Donatello...is another
Thank you Eastern & Missy....... Pass the M 4/8s ....I am done!
can someone offer clues on the ho6/33 & the last ho4/12? these are driving me nuts! thx!
darn...I know they were all artist's name... two Michealango, Leonardo
efor - down in the ho**** somewhere in Kentucky
bonus points for MissyMe & Norad...!!! I believe you got all 4!!
Not solid but ho****
Hi All - earlier start tonight as the littlies are in disgrace & had an early night! Hope they're naughty tomorrow! LOL!!!
efor ho6/33 & the last ho4/12 ho6/33 when something is empty its ho****, ho4/12 end of cows leg,( ho + "double-u" + consonant that hooks at the top and crosses like a "t")
duh! ty faeriekae!

Hi hurshy!

hi snowy, hi auntie! norad, hmm, have we met? hi! aw4 - military abbr for being gone when not supposed to
faeriekae...if you are in the military and take off without asking... you are aw..
cybernan congrats! :)
faeriekae - when you leave the service b/c of problems you go a.w.*.*.
Master Tatsu...couldn't remember how his last name went!
Hurshy - hi- here *sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle* FaerieDust in your hair and on your shoulders
oh, thank you so much faerie, i sure can use it.
Efor - thanks
My oldest boy had all the figures and the additional cars, forts and things that went with the TMNT series... I still have em all boxed up in the shed
Norad...no idea...
Thanks Missy...I just googled it...Master Splinter...this is soooo funny...takes me back to when my teens were little...these days I miss their innocence...
Splinter...that's it...I couldn't remember
hurshy...don't know if we've "met," mostly I lurk because I have limited puzzle time...but I usually enjoy the chat between you pro's!!!! :)
Norad...I'm waiting for my grandchild, born March 11, so I get to that kind of fun all over again soon :D
but, you are a pro, too, norad. anyway, nice to meet you. :)
hmmmm, March 11, 2005?
there were a lot of "almost" words today that frustrated me...woolly, holly, alloy, etc.
no I meant...the coming March 11, 2006...my sentence construction is atrocious this morning!
hmmmmm, March 11, 2006?
lol
yup my daughter's due date :)
anyone need a clue before I leave? :)
don't tell her this but i was 2 full weeks late when i was born
MissyMe - what are the winning lottery numbers tonight, since you can foretell the future 8 D
Congrats Missy.... and yes how about hu 5/14?
what fun you have in store for you!! might be awhile before the TMNT stage though...
lol EB They're **** **** **** **** I hate to just give them to you...
hu 5/14: variant spelling of common greeting
congrats on finishing cybernan, how about the mu6?
hu 5/14 another way of greeting someone - just a diff spelling of he5, the normal hi
Cybernan - Thanks, got it right away
Missy - are you sure (I'm willing to split the winnings!!)...
not the mu 6, that's what started all of this!!!!!
faerie hu 5/14 another way to type the greeting he***, change the last vowel from an "o" to a different one
to 5/14?
to 5/14 - something you play with plus opp of off
I mean keep the "o" at the end...sorry
Thanks! Today's my first puzzle
Christa to 5/14 a child's plaything + opposite of "off"
Christa - welcome to the world of Babble!!
well, hu5 and welcome, christa!! :)
Christa Sigman Welcome :)
hu 5/16 ?
Norad you are a hu*** being.
Norad - we are all hu _ _ _ beings
hu 5/16 another word for homosabien
Thanks. This is addicting. I have 65 words but it has taken me all day:-)
norad - "you want to know something, spock? everybody's hu5/16." - james t. kirk
Thanks EB, pass the fish...
faerie and eb are making such assumptions! and missyme, it's sapien not sabien, just a typo?
mu6??? help!!!! ty
Christa Click on Babbler's Anonymous to the right, then General...the first post lists a great word list, the first two letters of the word, the number of letters in the word and the points for it
Christa - it all depends on the grid - sometimes the ones with 200 or more seem 'easier' b/c you can find so many words (other times, they're beasts!!)
Hurshy - this is soooo true lol.
woo hoo! done!
hurshy...I'm bad this morning...yeah that was a typo
pbr - see whole discussion about teenage mu6 ninja turtles
Thanks MissyMe. I picked that up this morning while lurking on the rest of you chatting.
LOL, I thought the same thing hurshy...shouldn't assume all of us are hu5...
efor Congrats!!!
yay efor!
hurshy -- ty!!
Efor *%*%*%Fireworks*%*%*%
thanks! anyone need any clues b4 i go?
Christa, it sure helps, doesn't it. The real pros don't use it but I'm not a pro by any standard. :D
mu 6/24: Mu_____ Ninja Turtles
my apologies to the aliens, fish, dogs, cats, monkeys (of course) and any other beings that may be playing the game!!
congrats, efor!
missy - i think almost everyone uses it for at least SOME of the words.
Congrats efor!!
It does help. Thanks for letting me join in. I was only going to lurk on the chat but that word was eluding me and driving me crazy.
Bye Everyone -- see you at the flip :)
the more chatters the merrier in babbleland!!
EB...I just got a message through my tinfoil hat...the aliens on Beta Fish Dog Cat Monkey Star are offended...they informed me they don't want to be spoken of in the same vein as hu***s.
ok gang, i really need to go and get some work done around the house...congrats on finishing efor, good luck on the first grid christa..."see" you all later and thx for the clues...

bye norad & efor!!
Missy - please convey my apologies to them!!
EB...they said they're going to attack...I told them they could have all the government cheese they wanted...this seemed to appease them. Phew! *wipes brow*
thought I was done...just realized I have a to 5/12 to still get.... is this a 'fish' word....or would a clue help??
EB to 5/12 the hard things you chew with in your mouth...
Missy - I'll throw in some cheese for Gouda measure...
Missy - dentures?? there's no D or R!!
EB oh.......you are punny today! :)
yo homies on this fine evening ^^
Cut that back to a single dent...just one...just one little ahrd thing left in your mouth the doctor didn't pull
*Pounces on Miya to give a HUGE HUG* Hiya Hun!! How are you??
Miyavi Hello Lovely icon! yet some more creative work...
MIYA !!! :D does my bum look big in this?
*falls backwards* Hey Easty! I'm great thanks, how are you?
Ooooh, thanks Missy! :D Babs...er...no comment XD *huggles*
Babbler ROTF! Nope...not at all...it's lovely...
I'm good!! Hiya Babs! *pounces on Babs to give her a HUG*
Miya - hi - *sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle* Faerie Dust to spin in and join the gang
EB did you want the fish or should I just throw it back in the pond?
Babbler - How are you....I got my bathroom painted and it looks wonderful.
lol Faerie! Thank you :D
Missy - I'll take the fish...*WHACK* *gently releases dazed fish back into the pond*
*falls over after EB's big hug* LOL! :D hey Missy, faerie, *looks around* no one else in? Hi if you're lurking!!! heh heh : )
EB Poor fishy...he does feel secure about the wi5/28 word...no way in Heck is anyone gonna slap him around for that one!
I'm ok faerie, thanks, but I've kind of lost of my voice today. I've had a sore throat etc since the weekend. At least it's not killing me anymore. : ) What colour is your bathroom now?
faeriekae - what color?? did you sprinkle it with faerie dust too??
There are good folks who are lurking...some are smurking, and one just left to turkying her turkey for dinner
Babbler - the answer to your question is 'yes' LOL Those pants really do make your butt look big..
Faerie!! *gasp*! :o how rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrude!! (lol!!) ;)
faerie...well at least there aren't any pantylines
and there's a hand that seems to like it!!
Babbler, speaking of rude...whose hand is that?
that would be Rupert Campbell-Black, of course!! lol! : )
Babs, it's...pleasantly rounded ;D
Well Babbler and EB it is called Pixie Wing by Behr paint and it is sort of a very light violet with gold grante sparkles in it. I did the ceiling and trim in Bridal Vail White. It did turn out nice.
Babbler...known as the 24-carat cad? lol
faerie - it sounds pretty...congrats on a job well done!!
faerie...the names they come up for paint nowadays...lol
EB - getting the old wallpaper down was the yucky part.
ewww nasty, tedious job
faerie, that sounds gorgeous!!
heh, thanks Miya!! lol! : ) have you read any Jilly Cooper?
I'm ashamed to say I haven't :( I go in for horror...anything gory that stops me from sleeping. all together now...MWAHAHAHA...
I read Sci-Fi...and Stephen King, (only horror author I read)
Miyavi lol
Babbler it is pretty. It is a womans bathroom by all means. I have it so fu fued up.
*quakes in boots at the very thought of horror stories* : /
faerie lol about fu fu...
Has anyone read my book? It's John Irving "A Prayer for Owen Meany?"
*hiding eyes from horror stories...realizes she can't see the chat log....* *uncovers eyes* I stay away from horror so I can sleep at night!!
awww, Babs...I've got some friends coming round on the weekend for a scary film marathon...I'm shivering and preparing cushion baricades at the thought :/
faerie - no...I haven't - but it's one of those books you always mean to read!!
ok I have one blessed word left -- to5 -- I have the toy-opp off. help me before I go crazier!
Missy/Faerie - should it be foo-fooed??
EB I'm not frightened by books or movies any more...now I'm just complacent and very critical if the book or movie isn't done well, I guess I've seen too much and read too much
It starts out really slow but when it takes off you will not be able to put it down. It is a super book.
me too, EB!! I saw the Blair Witch Project and (after it was explained to me cos I didn't geddit), I had to sleep with the lights on for TWO weeks!! : ( nooooo, Miya, don't do it! cancel it. it's gonna snow anyway. Read some fairy stories! oh hang on, they're just as gruesome..... play Babble!! : )
Missy, have you seen the film of Stephen King's 'Carrie'? I read the book and was pretty disappointed by it
EB I've always seen it as like fu fu colors...but you're version is probably right. "Foo" reminds me of the foo-fighters pilots reporting seeing during WWII
pbr - if you lose a to _ _ _, the to _ _ _ fairy might leave $$ under your pillow!
EB --- ok, foo fooed *blushes*
Miyavi, disappointed in which, the book or the movie? I've read the book and seen the movie...the movie was just okay...predictable though
...it's just the other one can be an abbreviation for sumthin' else...
EasternBlue -- ty -- and to think I just had one pulled and just couldn't see the word...thanks again. phew
lol Babs! Ahhh, it's all arranged now. BUT, I'll be watching the movies while snuggled into my boyfriend, whimpering...so it's all good XD
How about a ho 4/5
pbr - I had to ask about that one too!!
Miyavi Have you read the Dark Tower series?
....the fish is getting a workout today :)
ho 4/5 - there are 2 1) like a b_ _ _ of lightening (only drop the b & use the h) or 2) what an owl says
Babs - I couldn't watch Blair Witch...the bouncing around w/ the camera made me nauseous!!
WE HAVE HEAT! I can smell the heater smell coming from the vent. Now I have to go out and look at the new touch pad that was installed with the new heater...
Missy, nope...I've only read a few of Stephen King's most famous ones - Carrie, Misery, The Shining and IT so far. would you recommend the Dark Tower series?
the owl Ty...now the fish....slap....hands fish back....thanks again
<----------only person on the planet who has not seen "The Blair Witch" or "The Titanic"
*gently places another dazed fish back into the pond*
What was the Blair Witch Project about, anyhows?
Miyavi...yes...it's so well written. But be prepared to take a few years of your life to do it...every one of the books in the series is typical of Stephen King's "diarrhea of the pen" style. Long books!
lol Missy! Are any of them longer than IT? over 1100 pages...too...many...
Hello everybody! Some clue with wi 5/28? Thanks in advance.
Maru - rhymes with the number after 49
Miyavi Some young people do a project on a witch near the town of Blair...they take a video camera with them into the woods...the come up missing and a few weeks later the video footage is found...the movie is what is supposedly seen on the footage of the missing young people
No Miyavi IT and The Stand are probably his too longest ones :)
Thank you Easternblue... Thanks a lot!
Maru - no problem...that's how I got it too!! (with a clue!!)
EB 51 comes after 49 but doesn't rhyme at all with it...so do a bunch of other numbers... :P
ah, doesn't that sound fun ^_^ I heard something about circles of stones?
52, 53, 54....1,000,001....
Me again how about the im words?????
Miyavi From what I gather, its presented as real video footage without editing...meaning there's a lot of time just looking at grass when the camera is down, dark scenes and other boring things...I think they do find a circle of stones somewhere
im - 4 - im + I _ _ (he is, you are...) 5 - the same, with another letter before the last one...
ah hah...so not recommended then?
im words i + polite word to call a lady, opposite of "sir" add another vowel after the first vowel in the second im word
Miyavi...from everyone's description, much of which I gave you, is the reason I didn't bother to see it
lol Missy...thanks :D
hi faeriekae, babs, missy, eb. pbr. miyavi, ...
Temple hello again :)
Hello again T-Owl!
HI Temple *have some Faeire Dust*
* brushes dust off head* thanks faeriekae! finished too soon - i am out of sync today!
i did not like the blair witch movie...it was way too hyped...
Temple I did the same...I usually expect to spend a few hours on a puzzle this short but finished it under an hour...now I'm at a loss as what to do Did you get some housework done?
ROFLMAO!
jumping in here for a second, i recommend the blair witch project
Temple, do you remember the ballyhoo when the Blair Witch came out. They were touting it as real footage, a real event...not fiction...it fooled a lot of people at first
buti did get some salaried work done...not as much as i'd like though..anyone need clues?
mornin' all
granadan Hello :)
fooled (scared) the bejesus out of my hubby
yes missy, i do...the ad campaign annoyed me no end...
Granadan - Hello
eva I heard such negative things about it I avoided it, what did you like about...maybe I need to hear something positive...
evening all :) hey nut - you should go Pro and get an Evanovich book cover for your icon... :D
it's hilarious! i love the scene in the tent...cracked me up
Hiya Sherb!
sherb hello :)
hello, evan, sherb...
i'd love to go pro sherb - maybe i'll start a take pity on the nut fund
eva there was comedy? :D
evan...then you'd have to serach for icons and change them every day....myself, i cannot take the pressure ;D
hi EB, MIssyMe, Temple :) :) :)
well missy, i don't think it was supposed to be comedy, but really
72 - just think, a different spandex for everyday
Is it any book cover or a certain type today? *shifts farty lap warmer nearer to Miy.....*
Temple - you could always be the steady kind, like sprite and Hugs, and keep the same classic icon... :)
lol eva Unintentional comedy is even better than on purpose. I guess that's why I took to MST3k so well...schlock is fun!
evan - i kept hoping the screaming woman would be kiled by the whatever, i got so tired of hearing her scream...not exactly waht the firector hoped for : )
did scare my husband though, you should have seen him in the dark on the way to the car.
i meant directot : )
Temple...you know a movie is bad when you start rooting to have the main character killed...lol!!!
or maybe director....sorry to waste the log : (
rotfl... sober up your keyboard!
granadan - any type of book cover...
poor hubby...
to give the director credit, i believe it was a student film project
Ta EB -
eva...wasn't that part of the promos, though, the idea that it was a student film and not made by the two professional gentlemen behind it?
i thought the idea itself was a student film though, limited budget and all that
alright..we've talked about so much now, I'm piqued...I probably can pick it up for 99 cents on Amazon
hi there!
hi there hi there!
beat me to it sherb >g<
Hi There and bye there....gotta step out for a little bit get some more house work done befor dark. bbl
lol gran :D
later faerie :)
oops, gotta go...see you all later, homies :D
bye faeriekae, miya!
bye Miya!! bye faerie!
Ha! Just found that "Bye Miy" doesnt exist in this puzzle. *oops*
any clue for the ma/7?
Hi everyone! I'm back for the final push. 19 to go!
lalobstah: it means to emancipate; set free
Hi Deutsch!!
*Sings* Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh... I love Winnie the Pooh!
lalobstah ma7/40 (oppo of woman) + Vowel (oppo of me) + another word for baseball glove, (drop one "t")
thank you. had to google it. that wasn't a word before today.
hi Deutsch :D
Hi Sherb, I don't have my glasses, so I can't quite make out the cover of your book. What is it, please?
'frankly my dear, I don't give a damn...'
WINNIE THE POOH Deep In the 100-acre woods Where Christopher Robin plays You'll find the enchanted neighborhood Of Christopher's childhood games A donkey named Eeyore is his friend And Kanga and little Roo There's Rabbit and Piglet Then there's Owl But mostly Winnie The Pooh Winnie The Pooh Winnie The Pooh Tubby little tub all stuffed with fluff He's Winnie The Pooh Winnie The Pooh Willy nilly silly ol' bear Winnie The Pooh Winnie The Pooh Tubby little tub all stuffed with fluff He's Winnie The Pooh Winnie The Pooh Willy nilly silly ol' bear
sherb, Now I see it! LOL
aw twas a grand film...
good show, MissyMe. Brings back nice memories. Always loved that bear!
misspelling...should be tubby little cub all stuffed with fluff
gran - I read the book before I ever saw the film... one of the few books I've read more than once...
and not But mostly but... But most of all, Winnie the Poo Wow the site I took that from must have just got the words from a poem, not the song lyrics
Well hellloooo all! How is everybody?! Missyme - great clue for the stupid Ma7 word!
hellloooo smaller :D
Awww, MissyMe, I thought you recited from memory. Hi Smaller!
Hey smaller
Missy & Deutsch...now I'm humming the song & my co-workers are looking at me funny!!
My mom has an original Poo bear which doesn't look anything like the ones they have now. It was brown, very thin with moveable arms and legs...and I think real horse hair. When I was five I sewed bright neon pink threads onto his head because he was "bald" and I didn't like it...my mom saw what I did and didn't like it either...the pink hair, that is
Hi smaller... Hi Jessie
EB lol!
HI Jessie, Deutsch and Sherb! I just had a WONDERFUL sales meeting!
Hi EB
what was the outcome?
smaller...you actually had a wonderful meeting? Good for you! Meetings are usually so boring...and nonproductive
did you get a raise
Missy - some of the 'new classic' are at least a little closer to the original... I saw him in the NY Public library...altho' I still think he belongs in England...
MissyMe, LOL! I once cut off my doll's hair and told my grandmother it would grow back. (It didn't!)
EB...they're making old classics now? I wonder how the kids are reacting to them...they just look like a skinny brown bear and not the cutsey, cubby stuffed with fluff they're used to. Is Disney making them?
Deutsch ROTF! I was notorious for "modifying" my dolls when they didn't suit me
LOL! nope no raise. but i did get to vent and things are a changin' so a very productive meeting
oh boy, I'm glad I'm not your boss smaller... the thought of you venting...
although, it was my brother who drew anatomically correct things on my Ken doll... o-0
smaller - did i get a raise????
Barbie got ear rings when we stuck her ears with straight pins with colored balls on top! LOL Can't decide if we were sadistic or creative
MissyMe, ROTFLMAO!
Deutsch lol! You were just showing your fashion sense
Missy - not quite like the original but closer than the "Disney" version... (altho' I think Steif sp?? does...)
Believe me, MissyMe, that was the last time for fashion sense!
Renny- OF COURSE you got a raise. That's why I was venting. You are far too underpaid. Sherb- LOL!!! true!
One more ho 6/21 I've been looking for an hour:-(
I think it's spelled with two f's, EB
not solid crista.
sorry - wrong ho6
good afternoon--any clues for the last ho4/12 or ma6/24?
Christa ho 6/21 ho + double consonants + double vowel It's another version of the greeting He***
yep got that one. It's the other one.
Christa - I never liked to get the ho _ _ _ _ _ chocolate bunnies at Easter, I preferred the solid chocolate bunnies!!
got it - thanks. I think this game is going to improve my vocab.
thanks eb 8) and thank you smaller!!!!!
BTW, why do you all have cute nicknames and my real name shows up. I want a cute nickname.
lwg50 ho4/12 ho + "double-u" + consonant that hooks at the top and crosses like a "t", (it's an animals appendage at the end of it's leg)
Ren, ...but I'll hold on to the extra money from the raise for you. You fritter. I promise to spend it wisely. For you.
Christa - go to 'My Profile' (top right) and click on 'Show my player name'... :)
lwg50 ma6/21 opposite of woman + vowel + opposite of "fro", like ** and fro. ma5/24 is like ma5/21 only add a different vowel at the end
missyme- that animal part shows up as my 4/8. maybe I am missing the obvious
smaller - i'm telling on you!!! i don't fritter...i just like to shop!!!
smaller - that's a little unfair... ren only buys absolute necessities... like gobstoppers...
Okay so I obviously need to log in differently tomorrow and change my player profile. I put my real name in. Can you tell I'm new to all this?
*replaces the word diddly with fritter because she likes it better*
opps...yes...what sherb said...i only buy gobstoppers!!!
lwg - respell it.
Christa you can change it now on your profile then just refresh the page
it's ok, Christa, you can come back with a different name and we'd never know... now, what name are you going to choose?...
thanks, got the ma...now I will try to see the other
christa - email dr g-d....
thanks, got the ho4/12!
hmmm I'll try again, it didn't let me. I'll be back as music mom.
Ren and Sherb... hmmm. I'll think about it. and spend her raise in the mean time
or christa - we can call you siggy....8)
Christa - just let us know it's you tomorrow so we can say hello again!! 8 D
ooo siggy's nice.
Gotta go for a bit...I'll be back in a little while (I hope)...
crista - its in the grey area marked optional info (or something like it). Its a drop sdown menu - click show my real name, and it will drop down to let you do a player name
ooooo music mom is nice too
lwg50 Yes, the animal part comes up in another ho word but the last ho word is another way to spell it :)
Lets vote. musicmom or siggy?
It still didn't work. I'm too close to being done to fool around and accidently lose what I have. I'll log in as music mom tomorrow.
Christa did you refresh your page?
I like siggy!! (no offense to music mom...)
I like siggy too
sherb - that may not work if she's not "pro"
as I sit here playing, I'm watching a film scene being shot on Primrose Hill, a favourite spot for filming in London... it's a nighttime scene, with a full moon, represented by a huge brightly lit balloon... fireworks have just gone off... haven't a clue what the film is...
siggy stardust - she can blind us with that - between siggy and faeriekay, we will all need those eye protectors
sherb...sounds french :D
sherb - it sounds pretty ...let us know what movie it is!!
granadan lol
It didn't work. I think I need to pay the money and I also need to switch to firefox. I logged in on Safari this morning.
anyone have a clue for MI 7???
Firefox is probably best. I use Opera because one of my programs messed Firefox up and no matter the repeated attempts to remove, add back on and clean up my computer, Firefox refuses to work. Opera works just "okay" with the site and messes up on many others
There was an excellent clue at 10.28 by missyme for the mi 7
myownvenus mi7/36 60 seconds, (drop the "e") + two vowels at the end
Hello again ExWren :)
Finished the grid!! Have just finished a handful of them.Thanks for the willing help
I use firefox for my virtual office so it will be better for me anyway. Safari is the default on this computer and my sister sent me this site in an email
Just popped back to see how you are all doing. Don't get time to read the chat when I am actually working on the grid.
does your sister play, Christa? what's her name?
lwg50 Congrats *lights a candle in your honor* @ {}
thanks Missyme
I was just going to ask that question sherb
ExWren Im the same way...I can't chat and do the puzzle at the same time...I need to concentrate Christa, is Safari a good program?
8 more to go, then I clean up the kitchen. I'm in no hurry to finisih! LOL
got it... thanks
Deutsch lol *virtually sends her messy kitchen to Deutsch* Do mine too, pwease...
myownvenus YW :)
MissyMe, just... as... soon... as... I... finish... here...
Deutsch, so that's like...I should plan on doing it myself?
any clues for the ma7/40?
'Fraid so, MissyMe!
Just read your bio missy, how do you have time to babble AND read all those books?
susanj2 ma7/40 (oppo of woman) + Vowel (oppo of me) + another word for baseball glove, (drop one "t")
ExWren...I end my day with a few chapters a night...it's a treat for me, or a grab a chapter here and there depending on what I'm doing. :)
Wow, thank you, Missy! I'm finished!
susanj2!!! Congrats :) ~%~%~%~%~fireworks~%~%~% ~%~
woot for susanj!!!
any clues for the mu's i have mu** the word and to think something over and that is it
Deutsch It's okay...half of the dishes are loaded in the dishwasher...I just need to add this mornings and lunch dishes and woosh... :)
aknitter mu4/8 another word for mom, mu + double consonant
aknitter: short for a type of bond ,and those ninja turtles...
aknitter mu4/5 this is like the transit system, mu + sounds like the word "knee" but is only two letters, first a consonant and the next a vowel
my dishwasher is down the pub
I like Safari okay. It doesn't support the dropdown menus in my office though.
granadan You poor baby :( I do wash dishes by hand on occasion but I sure like my dishwasher!
Gotta go. Meeting my husband for dinner in town before he teaches. I'll be back to finish this!

Desperate Housewives starting... back in the ad breaks...
Baby Alf, trying to poke me in the eye while I try to babble - he peed on me! Honestly, come back farty lap warmer, all is forgiven!

Any clues for th fo 5/20 and fo 4/8? Thx.
fo5/20 -- part of body + 1 letter
Add the sometimes vowel to the things at the ends of your legs.
5/20 = what you walk on at the end of your leg + consonant, nickname for soccer in the UK
The other sounds like Mr Bell's invention, but horribly mis-spelled..
Hi, everyone, Have been able to do my knee exercises 2x today with any pain meds.
good for you, peri!
meant to say WITHOUT any pain meds!!!
I knew what you meant! LOL
peri- more fun to read the other way!
Afternoon all, just stopping in..... Peri that's great news, do you have a high tolerance for pain ?
hey peri - that is greeeeaaatttt!!!
hi all. any clues for the ny?
good on you peri!
Don't know about high tolerance, I haven't had much pain to deal with in my life. I am very lucky. My knee still hurts but not as much as yesterday.
any hint on the mu6 please
hi to everyone.
Need help with ho621 and ho7/33
bureetos, there is no ny, there is an nu. mu6 - mu + cross letter + picnic pest
the mu6 is what the teenage ninja turtles were.
It's great that you are making such strides in just a few days mu 6 = teenage mu**** ninja turtles
Mrpres- think tenage mu**** ninja turtles..
thanks doxy, I don't know where I got that.
Hi again all - had to leave some 2 hrs ago & forgot to say goodbye - v rude of me , apologies! Now back to try to find the 27 words I missed.
that's great peri! what did you do to your knee? HI Tink!
thank you all! another 'figure of 8' word!
ho 6 21 is a variation of a greeting. much like the word above it. uses double letters
so, uh, any clues for the no5?
no + h** did you do that?
No way no*** we will help with the No5
NO plus *** do you solve a problem like Maria?
thanks doxy, schro, I didn't know that was one word. :)
the ho 6 33 is what the inside of chocolate rabbit is.
Welcome back Snowy :) Hi Smaller, how goes it today?
and deutsch too. :) That Maria! What a trouble maker.
Hi boreetos, and everyone who came here while I was emailing my dear, dear ma!
mi7 clue please... I am not seeing anything!! were are the trusty e, d, r, s etc... ?
smaller, I had a torn cartilage (meniscus) in my left knee. The surgery was outpatient and I went home the same day. I return to the doctor next Tues and plan to return to work on Feb 1. I am very lucky that this is only a temporary disability. I work on an inpatient rehab floor and see so much worse every day.
mrp - they ran away.....
Ty schroeder - how odd a word is that ho4/12? No definition available.
any clues for the ho6/33
yes, yes, hello to all those whom I not said hello to. :)
Evening people

Bye Doxy

Hi Yoink! Bye boreetos and doxy!
thanks, Yoink
Drum, I agree. The Wi5/28 has stumped me since last night. The new day sheds no new light.
Hi Smaller! Drum, it is indeed a screwy word, and not one easy to hint on, it's all on the right though if that helps
I just got it!
Wi = think moving fast sw word and add the sometimes vowel
is that middlesex, yoink? jeffrey eugenides? good book doxy and I must still be stuck on harp day
wi5/28 rhymes with the word that comes after 49
Drum, it doesn't use the Z. Look up.

Mr Anj, impressive!! :D

how do you all know words that are yet to be found
hi babbler!!!!!
hi guys. two, undoubtedly ridiculous words left.
hi wordlady.. hi mab!!!!

Hi Babbler, Mab...there are some whacky ones in this today : /
...looks just right to me : D
please i need help with the mi
have the coin one
LOL Anj!! :D I finished earlier today. I got 47 words in my 30 min challenge (self-imposed). : )
Wordlady, because we're pro status, the stats breakdown we get shows us how many words there left to find. They are also posted on the Babblers Anon site (see bottom right Friends of Babble panel) under the General thread : )
is it me or are a lot of these words not real
OOOOOOOOOOOo I get it
wordlady - it's us..we're not real....%}
you have to be ... because SOMEbody who likes stuff I like has to be real
uh! only 2 crummy words left to find and I have looked everywhere .... to 5/12 and to 4/4 (not the screwdriver or the misspelled music)
Word, they are all listed in the Enable dictionary... which apparently stands for Enhanced North American Benchmark Lexicon so, yup, they're real... As to whether they are used in daily conversation, well that's another thing entirely, lol! : D
hu5/14 is slang as far as I'm aware. And what's ho4/12 when it's at home?? : /
they are real, but obscure, wordlady. when you get them you can click on the little question marks and get the definitions. at least most of the time.
that's what I do, but usually the weird ones come up with no def
AK, that to5/12 is the to5/6 with a consonant on the end : )
...er, I mean to4/6 : / I've got the spelling blues again : (
ma 7/40 any clue?
AK, to4/4 - honk your horn?
ty anj don't know how i missed that one
Christa, sounds like an indian spirit...not sure if it's benign or not tho' If you have ther ma6/21 just chnage the last vowel : )
ma7/40: To free from slavery or bondage; emancipate. or a glove for a famous football club ;)
better than having elvis - rock - a hula baby rock in your head...why oh why did i say big kuhuna????
now i just need that to 5/12
to5/12 fairy will leave a penny under your pillow if you get this....
to 5/12 - white thingies in you mouth
to5/12 Do you have one of the pearly whites in your mouth?
oh babbler why is it that the easiest words are the hardest to find?? by the way, whose arse is that on your icon???
mine are capped.......8D see....
$h!t...I gave you the wrong clue AK, sorry...
LOL AK!! do you know, I have NO idea!! :D:D:D
N.P. anj, you helped me find the 4/4
all i know is that my arse NEVER looked that good
UGH I'm still not seeing it. I have both of the ma 6 words. I'm moving on. Only have two to find.
*makes Anj a stiff drink, reaches over and puts it on his desk* :D sup up!
Christa, I gave you the definition. If you google it, it will lead you to the word. (scroll down a little) :)
Babs, what is your book like?
hey didn't think to google. Thought --- hmmm I don't know a word for that<g>
...UGH! I'm cracking up... : ( Sorry Christa, I gave you a clue to the ma6 : ' ( The ma7 is opposite of lady, plus last vowel, plus slang for hand or glove, less a T : )
Mab, I've read nearly everything by Jilly Cooper. It's romantic fiction, but very very funny with it! I've read it countless times since I was a teenager. It's the first in a series (still underway) : )
siggy - ma* (opposite of woman + proper pronoun (not me) + catcher' glove
Christa, or, as I said before: famous football club + glove :D
*Anj chugs stiff drink* Cheers Babs : )
don't say it...don't amybody say it...or i'll turn up my elvis siruis real loud.....
Riders...hmm. That's not about horses from what i've heard ; )
TY!!! I got it now. Shew! One more to go.
hee hee hee hee hee :D well, there are horses in there, and lots and lots of sports..... of the dressage variety..... oh help! lol! :D
...undressage more like } )

Anj, Wobbledon was an eye-opener in one of the books! (nude tennis) lol! :D
still looking for help with th mi please
i have 4 red checks and loads of grey boxes. I shall now procede to do the happy dance of done-ness (moves coffee table out of the way)
which one, Yvo? the teeny tiny mi7 ?
congrats, AK !! :D
...whoops, sorry Yvo, your post was buried under a ton of garter fiction : / mi4/4 - sounds like someone who works the pits. Or a mimic bird without the last H : )
...d'oh! I've done it again - it's mi4/5! : (
any one need a clue or 2 before i go off to knit??
Anj, Yvo, there can't be an mi4/4..... M is worth 2 points.
...is that the wool or your bones??? lol : )
i have the coin one
Hiya folks. Gotta stay up tonight to be Paul's alarm clock later. Anyone need any clues? *Nips off to change from Jack London's 'White Fang' icon as the poor wolf looks rather squashed!*
I'm confused!! right, think I'll just put the kettle on before I make a total idiot of myself..... brb.... :s
mi - 60 seconds make a mi*** drop the last vowel & replace it w/ the 3rd & 1st vowel....how's that?
Anj used a word! Gonna tell Dr_God! Gonna tell Dr_Go-od! Na, na, nee, nar, nah! Lol.

Hi, Jac! (hee hee, that always cracks me up...)
wow thank you mistress !!!!! i love the howls!!!!!
fo4/8?
Just checking in on my (late) coffee break -- everyone finished?
My cover doesn't come across great - but it's Zenna Henderson's Ingathering, Stories of the People. I can read this book every year...
thank you kindly ,got them all
FO4/8 - Remember Mr. Lennon? The fo is his first name with a letter changed.
fo 4/8: Rhymes with the evangelist J***
way to go yvo!!!!! (it rhymes....)
Hi, c-nan! I'm gonna speed type my words, got them all on my printout today. Okay, time me - go from the time on this post. Ready? Go!
Yay! Yvo : )
ty
Ren - I'm well practised in howling. We used to go up to Cwm Buchan lake in N. Wales (where there's a great echo) and howl at around midnight to scare the campers.*Grins broadly.*
anj - when you say it that way it sounds french....
mistress....i believe it - you rascal you!!!
Cybernan - Hi! Yes, thanks. Finished hours and hour ago. Just here to natter and give clues. Anj - Have you done a parody song for BabAnon yet?
Me too -- using a very old laptop until my new computer arrives -- quite a challenge!
Steady Ren, I didn't mean to make with the sexy chit-chat lol : D Jac, I haven't jet...few things on my mind at the mo. I will have a think about that next week : )
I see you've got The Da Vinci Code there, Cybernan. My ex-hubby bought me that for Xmas 2004. I must get around to reading it.
Anj - Ok. Hope all is well.
Don't put it off Jacula -- it's the best read I've come across in a long time. Waiting for the movie to get into the video stores now.
Cybernan - It's not so much a case of 'putting off' as 'finding time'. I've at leat 300 books backed up to read (and that's no exaggeration).
*least
Angels and Demons by the same author was pretty good too.
Thanks Jac...everything's fine, i'm just doing a presentation tomorrow night and I always fuss over the prep : )
DONE!
Okay Anj. I'm signed in if you need a 'panic chat'.
You'll have a long wait for the movie to hit the stores as it isn't even in theatrical release yet. Jac .. the book is fast paced, easy and quick to read. Move it to the top of the stack! I think you'll really enjoy it.
9 minutes jb....
*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR JBs*~*~*~*~
Congrats JBs -- in 39 minutes!
Whoohooo! I got them all. Thanks to all of you. Good night!
everyone is posting so fast .. my last post was re the Da Vinci Code

Thanks!
Good! I didn't want people going "huh??? what's she talking about?"

Well done Christa.
Wooot JBs : ) Speedbabble : D
Sorry-----make that 9 minutes!
...and Christa, woot to you too : )
Lol Ren, I'm a really fast keyboarder and fast reader but I cannot keep up with you all!
Darleen - but not speed spellers, it would seem. LOL, Ren!
see who loves you jb...it's me i said 9 minutes first!!!
which is generally why I don't post a lot.
Oh, Jac, read the DV Code - one of the fastest good reads for me last year. I'm backed up about 20 books...wondering just what 300 you have to read?
yes mistress...note sped rellers,,,uh...spel redders...
LOL, ren!!
Congrats, Christa!
Darleen - it depends if you're on Broadband, and then how close to the telephone exchange you are. Speeds vary, no matter what you pay. Heck! I sounded like an Ann Summers rep there!
Better go and start on supper -- see you at the flip!
LOL Jac. We just went on DSL last September. We're supposedly getting 1MB? All I know is it's much faster than dial up and I'm very happy these days.
lol mistress - i was redding so fast i thought you said how close to the telephone you sat....8)
later nan...8)
'Bye Cyber! JBs - I'm wondering that myself! (What 300 books, that is.) *Note to self: STOP buying books!*
bye cyber! : ) congrats to all who finished!! :D
Same problem Jac... too many books, not enough Me : /
me too (too many books) :/
me too also as well...and i bought 4 more this past weekend....
I'm so glad for e-books on Palm - makes the wheels on the bus go round and round real fast, and before I know it, I'm at work!
Me three on the books. They're piled so high by the bed I can barely get in! I wish I could just press the danged things to my forehead and transfer it into my brain.
Okay. Got The Hobbit for my icon now. I'll have to scan in my old copy of it, not this modern cover on my icon. Shame, in a way, to get rid of Jack London's wolf though... that howl I did came right out of his mouth. Looked rather good, I thought.
.... and then there are books I want to read but haven't got hold of yet....... : /
Hey, I'll check in later for chat and clues - I have to get supper and pay bills, and watch <shhh> American Idol - I love the audition shows! Good night if you're not here when I get back!
hey jb...that's what i do when i fly...that is before i pass out from the valium...8) (is that fear of flying...or was that a book?)
...40 or so unread beside the bed. They are probably creating their own literary continuum... ...and i've just ordered two more by Charles de Lint...
nite JB! : )
But that's why we are all here, isn't it? Because we love words!
ok all you beautiful - lovely people - i'm going to supper w/ my nephews....
I can't read for more that 2 hours at a time anymore, though, get terrific headaches and very fuzzy vision, even with a boost from glasses.
nite Rennie! :D Jac - aye! : )
Later ren! We'll trade ebook stories!
That's quittin' time for me too : ) Night all... happy Babbling. Catch you next time : D
Have a great time, Ren. Talk later.x
My trouble is, once I start a book, I find it hard to put it down. I dive in and I'm THERE with all the characters! lol! :D
nite Anj!! Good luck for tomorrow, hun! :Dx
'Night Anj. Sleep well and good luck with the presentation.
JBs - No headaches here, but need to take specs off to read books these days. Varifocals beckon but I can't afford 'em yet! Babbler - Same here. That's why I also write, I guess.
Babbler - Once you've charged through a book, don't you feel sorry that you've finished it and have to leave 'everyone' behind? I know I do!
Yes, Jac I do! I feel so sad when I reach the last few pages. lol. I want to get back into writing... : /
*Assumes market vendor's voice* - CLUES APLENTY HERE FOR ALL! ANY MORE FOR ANY CLUES?
Babbler - Me, too. Been out of it seriously for too long. Just getting back into it now really.
Hey all, I'm back and yes Babbler how about fo 4/5 and I'll take the fish with that
Hi f/k. I assume you have found the fish in the grid?
Jacula, sorry you were the one giving out clues. Sorry Babbler. But the fo 4/8 and the ho 4/12 and then we will see how it goes from there
can't find the lu4/10
what fish?? bows in shame
fo4/8 - could be a guy's name, if it wasn't for the F. Think Michael, Mark, Luke and Jo**, and swap the J for the F.
Fish - tu4/5
ho4/12 is probably the silliest word in today's grid. Sounds like what you might say if a brick fell on your toe and you howled and almost started swearing!! :D
Yes... I did find that
lu4/10 - think Jewish word for tw4/8 - starts with a 'K'. Knock the 'k' off the start.
Yes, Babbler, but ma7/40's pretty silly, too. Sounds like Beckham's team... almost.
Sorry! Beckham's old team. Think Rooney's still in the team though and Georgie Best definitely once was.
thanks, Jacula, figured it had to have the z in it just couldn't figure out the word
Peri - glad you got it.
Definition for lu4/10 - Only Diane Towler & Bernard Ford and Jane & Chris whotsit would have got that though: A jump in figure skating in which the skater takes off from the back outer edge of one skate and makes one full rotation before landing on the back outer edge of the other skate.
ho 4/12 anyone?
need 3 words to finish: to4/5, to4/6 and to5/12
I'll share my Faerie Dust....(*^_^*)
ho4/12 sound like a cross between a dog making a cross sounding bark and someone being given a body blow - oof!
ho4/12 - ask a question and then add an 'f'.
found the to5
Jacula - Thanks I got it. *****Faerie Dust for you******
to4/5 - change the last letter of the to4/4 above it (a fee or charge) to the 5th vowel.
to4/6 - The first name of the UK Prime Minister.
thanks Jacula, another new word for me
thanks Jacula I AM DONE
wa 4/11????
Periwinkle - congrats *%~*%~*~
There are 2 wa4/11's. One means to flap air about and the other is often part of a phrase, 'wa*** and strays'.
faerie: floats in the air
*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR PERI*~*~*~*~
Piperb - Faerie Dust for yor * ** * now turn around * ** * there thats good. Jacula : Thanks I did need both *giggles* I have 15 words to go.
Faerie - I'm still here for clues, should you need any.
Jacula - thanks I'll keep pecking away and when I can't take anymore I'll reach for you. Like the ta 5/12.....
fairiekae--think Sticks & Stones for ta5/12
ta5/12 - to tease.
Rhymes with what ghosts do.
Thanks, I got it. Now on the the rest of the grid. I'm getting closer
is the Z used at all in this grid???
Tedsmom - lu 4/10
tedsmom - z is used twice lu 4/10 zi 4/9
clue for the zi 4/9 please.............
Pasta, baby!
Got both Zs, with your help. Thankzzzz!
Sorry, couldn't resist the "baby" One of the guys I work with says bye like "Asta linguini!" and my reply is "Pasta, baby!" Lame, but it makes us grin. <grin>
ty, tm!
zi - ridged pasta tubes or sounds like a spotty person. Too late with the clue, though, I see! Sorry. Was off playing another word game.
Jacula- Since you're offering clues, do you have one for ho 6/33?
I'm still working on the pasta....I'm just about ready for bed.
Kimm - ho6/33 - with nothing in the middle. Think 'Sleepy Ho****'.
Jac, may I? Kimm, if you're from the South (US), they refer to them as 'hollers'
Got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Or, in a horror story, 'he gave a ho**** laugh'.
Thanks Jacula- that one had me stumped
Good going, faerie!
BBL - hubby's dinner time!!!
JB - later, thanks for your help
JBs - what's hubby having for dinner?
Tell me when you return. LOL.
Gotta go let dog out bbl.
Latest icon is Frances Hodgson Burnett's 'Secret Garden'. I have a much nicer and older copy than the one on my icon, green sack bound with designs in the sackcloth.
.......mu6/24?
Changed icon now to a DH Lawrence book.:-))
Tim - mu6/24. Ever heard of the Teenage Mu**** Hero Turtles?
If not, think of a hideously deformed being.
Tim change the last letter of mu6/21
thanks jac :)
hi everyone
y/w, Tim.
Hi Saphyre & Tigereye. Tigereye - that's one of my favourite stones. I have it on keyrings, bracelets and necklaces.
just need 3........ma6/21?..ma6/24?..and the mi7/36?
Definition for ma6.21 - 1. In Algonquian religious belief, a supernatural power that permeates the world, possessed in varying degrees by both spiritual and human beings. 2. A deity or spirit. Sounds like a short way of talking about a male whose car you may be pulling along with a rope between his vehicle and yours. For ma6/24 - change last vowel to 5th vowel in vowel list. mi7/36 - the small things.
mi7/36 - think one 60th of an hour in time, knock off the last vowel and add a personal pronoun and a definite article.
(Or knock off the last 2 letters of the time word and add the first part of a coffee licquer drink - '*** Maria'.
*liqueur. Sorry, I'm a 'hot' speller, so I'm told but the 'li' word is one of my blind spots!
More clues for ma6/21 and ma6/24...please?
got the ma s....still on the mi....
Mi is the stuff people get hung up on that can make one nuts!
Tedsmom - Start with a male then add a personal pronoun and then something you'd put before a 'doing' word.
Tedsmom - for the ma6/24 - do the same but change the last 2 letters to the French familiar for 'you'.
TY Jacula!
Tim - Sorry, not sure how to make the 'mi' word any clearer. How far have you got with it?
Tim--For Mi, think of nit-picking
coffee liquer drink?
hello
Will give you its name later, Tim. Meanwhile, here are driving directions for the mi word: Start on 1st M on left in 4th row down, down right to the 'I', up, up, down right, down right again, right.
Hello jsummer. Are you chatting or do you seek clues?
up up down down left left right right b a select start!
btw, hello folks. what's the theme today? books?
Hiya LeslieAnn - yes, book covers.
now that was some hardcore directions! thanks B
B )
tomorrow is australia, right?
*Grins* You got to your destination then, Tim?
Hiya Hurshy. Dunno, will go and check.
thanks jac, have one ma 4/6 left,
hiya jac. :)
Hurshy - Yup! Australia Day, to be precise. *Sighs! 'I guess that means I'll have to turn the dials on my Kitsch doorbell to 'Advance Australia Fair'.*
ma 4/6 except for the (algebra, calculus, etc) all the others have same 1st 3 letters
Done ....Thanx Hurshy..
yw, congrats tim!!!!!!!!!!
Thats the one I needed.....Never was good at ma--
m4/6 (after the sums) - Think Star Wars - Darth M*** Next ma4/6 sounds like what you do after someone dies, or the break of day. Or 60s singer, Susan M. Next ma4/6 sounds like a word for 'dead'.
Drat and double drat! Too late again! LOL. Congrats, Tim!
see y'all
Hurshy - that WAS a brief visit! 'Byeeee!
Are you finished now then, Tim?
Good nite .ready for tomorrow
jsummers - you haven't answered my question...?
'Nite, Tim.
I see Wolfie's not around tonight. Hope all is well .
Now got a PL Travers' book (Mary Poppins) on my icon. Again, NOT, the one on the cover of the book I own.
Will start singing 'Just a Spoonful of Sugar' very loudly soon! LOL. Or, maybe even worse, Dick Van Dyke's attempt at being a Cockney song....
'Chim, chimney, chim chimney, chimp, chimp, cheroo...' Don't say you weren't warned... ROFLOL.
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. I thought I'd never finish another puzzle but here I am! Need 11 words. to start may I have clues for am 4/5 and the first 2 ho's please.
Or should I have said hello onlt to you jac? :)
Hello Hoot! You didn't want to hear me sing the rest of that song then? Don't blame you! am4 - think African dictator and murderer, Idi.
Hey guyz give me some answeres plz ill pay by pay pal lol jk jk just plz hints :) ôµ
hi hoot. am 4 - a + 1/60th of an hour
Goodo! Thanks
Hoot - not just to me if you were thinking of the 2 'ho's'!!! LOL.
evryone here GET A LIFE~!!!~\\\
Hello Forbes. You'll have to be more specific about what you want clueing in on. No one is going to give you a full word list!
just kidding
Thanks - I needed that laugh! Been a rought day! Not aimed at you for sure!
Ah! Forget to replies to Forbes. We're tippy tapping over the troll bridge again, I see.
anything alll i need is clues please i beg of you PLEASE and i like eggs
Forbes - unless you are serious, I suggest you go and visit two friend of mine, Weebl & Bob. You'll find hours of fun there.
i have one thing to say please donate money to the fat child foundation then fattys eat all the food we are pour and cant afford anymore food
lu 6 anyone?
Hoot, first off, have you got ho6/33 -' nothing in the middle'? If so, take off the last letter for the 1st word and add another round vowel at the end for the 2nd.
LeslieAnn - lu6 - definition: 1. Anatomy. The inner open space or cavity of a tubular organ, as of a blood vessel or an intestine. 2. Abbr. lm Physics. The unit of luminous flux in the International System, equal to the amount of light given out through a solid angle by a source of one candela intensity radiating equally in all directions. See table at measurement. 3. Botany. The cavity bounded by a plant cell wall. Sounds like lights.
Thats that! You're kidding on those definitions right?
Forbes - f4/12 o3/9.
Hoot - don't give up! All you have to to is cut and paste the definition into Google and you may well get the word. If not, I'll try to help some more.
Hoot - any idea where Wolfie is tonight?
jac I've been working on this puzzle on & off all day. I'm pooped and the bf is waiting. Maybe I won't finish...
Nope - but he may be working late if he's taking off friday.
Hoot - how many words have you got to find? BR - just need to get my b/f up for work!
hoot tell us what you need! we'll help!
*BRB, I meant! (Be right back.)
Well that lu 6/24 in english would help. :) Last lo 4/4 ma 7/40 then the rest.
That Harp!
Then 6 more
um ok i don't have those yet but i will soon! ;)
Ok - we'll try the rest. second mi 4/5 middle 2 mu's no 5 to 4/7 to 4/5
to 4/7 - rhymes with a top-floor apartment
good!Never would have figured that one!
to 4/5 - last two letters sound like what the brits call the bathroom
Back now. There is no no5. There's an nu 5 ' nu** and void'.
Ah! There is an no 5/20. Sorry! Think 'noway, no***!'
i'm missing an mi so maybe: an after-dinner mi**? or change the last letter of that to a vowel
the list has an no 5/20 and an no 4/4 - have the nu
LeslieAnn - change the mint to a first vowel ending.
oh sorry jac i was trying to help hoot. don't know if i had the right one to give a clue
Hi Everyone!! Getting on late tonight -- had to take care of some stuff :) Hi mom!
Doing really well - Time for a recap. last lo 4/4 lu 6/24 ma 7/40 mu 4/8 mu 4/6 and thats it!
Howdy woulf
last lo4/4 change the last letter of the lo4/5 to the vowel that immediately follows it
mu 4/6 - mu + first two letters of "***** or day"
Hey Mom -- didn't get to email you yet -- they have moved up the c-section to THIS friday instead of next week :)
Got it - and I was on last night so I knew.
i don't have your last two yet, hoot! sorry!
Hey don't worry. You'll get yours the same time I get mine! :)
ma7/40 -- def - "to free from slavery or bondage; emancipate" -- pop into google and you are set! ;)
No popping - got it!
HIYA Wolfie! Was just away getting P up for work. Sorry you missed my White Fang icon - it was great when I did the hoooowwwwwllll for Ren. It ame right from the wolf's mouth.
Wolfie - THIS Friday? Hope all's okay? I'm on line, btw.
Hey Jac! (*hug*) -- I forgot about the theme today -- will have to see what I can come up with -- I have soooo many choices ;)
hoot you knew that off the def? you are a smartie!
Yes - this Fri, Jac -- BP was a little too high at last dr visit and weight was up as well -- they moved up the date as a result -- nothing to worry about, just being cautious Sebastian wants to come out early just like his sister did ;D
Wolfie - you couldn't do better than Jack London's 'White Fang' (which I had earlier) if you want a wolf. Hope you can find a version that doesn't squash the poor wolf till he looks like a white seal!
Ok - down to 3! lu 6/24 mu 4/8 mu 4/6 and I'm done !
oh geez didn't realize i was posting a word in the log while talking to a fellow babbler!
Jac -- I wish I had had the day off so I could have really had fun with the icons -- I could have changed my icon every half hour and only barely touched on all the really good books I have read :)
Wolfie - same here!
lu6 -- the middle of to provide light (il-lu****-te)
Hoot - the mu4/8 has to do with Medieval entertainers who wore masks. Failing that, think what relation you are to Wolfie, in short form, change it to UK form and add an 'm' at the end.
Dumb, dumb, dumb! Blind as a bat!
BTW -- I have to reload both my messengers, my neighbor finally reloaded my system and they got wiped as a result -- so when I get the chance I will be able to chat online again
YES!
Got the last one! I'm done - Finished No 2!
This grid definitely makes you appreciate how much easier life is with E's, R's, and S's in it1 ;D
hooray for owl!!
Yayyy for hoot!!!!! now I just have to get my last two :)
If I had a penny for everytime I said that today I could afford a nice dinner out!
Want help?
and the student becomes the master!! ;)
gonna give it a coupla more minutes before asking ;) LeslieAnn -- ROFL!!!
mu4/6 - sounds like what you have in your wallet (or purse as we girls here in UK call our version of the cash carrier, no, not our handbags!) Otherwise, think first 4 letters of what city councils call themselves...
help with the ma 7/ 40 no 5/ 20 to 5/ 14 wi 5/ 28 please
Damn! The site froze on me again! Wolfie - get your MSN back soon, please! What 2 words do you need? I'll help if the computer allows me to.
wi 5/28- rhymes with the number for a half-century
to 5/14 - add one letter to your to 4/6 (first three letters are what a child plays with)
got the to thanks on the wi leslie
for the no 5 jacula gave a clue at 9:46
OK, I won't get them on my own ---- im5/16 mu6/24 please?
heroes on the half shell, gw!
im5/16 - add the 5th vowel in the vowel list to the Eastern religious leader before it.
in the middle
mu6/24 - Teenage Mu**** Hero Turtles. Or hideously deformed persons.
Thank you!!
Now I am done!!
xmen
my last one is the to 5/12??
Man!! No e's or s's tonite. I am struggling.
dont understand the (:46 clue for no 5/20
Hooray for woulf rah rah rah kaboom!

to5/12 - you have about 32 of them growing in your jaw!

And we have another winnah! Congrats LA!
*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR WOLFIE*~*~*~*~*
Yayyyyy for LA!!!
thanks leslie got it
ma 7 - a male + last vowel + a catcher's ****, drop last t
*~*~*~AND FIREWORKS FOR LA, ALSO*~*~*~*~
Ok - not staying on. Tired and someone is waiting for me. See you all tomorrow. Woulf - send the e-mail tonight.
ok, so here's my first theme icon :)
You got it, mom! Say hi to C for me :) (*HUGS*)
Thanks Leslie You have 0word(s) left to find
Hi Jacula- do you have a clue for wi 5/28?
hooray saphyre!
Yayyy for saphyre!!
Ah! Larry Niven's Ringworld. Not read those yet.
wi5/28 -- take an n word that means neato or spiffy and change the 1st letter
Thanks GreyWoulf. Babblers are so generous.
Kimm -- YW -- to be silent would be contrary to the name 'Babbler' ;D
Hello Kimm. Ah, wi5/28. No true definition. Think weavers' talk... warp and weft, and then take the second word and change the 1st vowel the the 3rd vowel in the vowel list, then add the 'sometimes' vowel at the end.
Failing that, think 'stinky' and change the 2nd 'f' to a 't'.
Thanks Jacula. One word left.
Brought Jack London's wolf back now, Wolfie. Had you refreshed and noticed?
Yes, Jac -- ty :)
Seems like the visiting troll took heed of my f4/12 o3/9 message at 9:31 on the log. LOL.
*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR HOOTOWL*~*~*~*~*~
Night everyone. It's nice to have a short list tonight. GreyWoulf, I'll try to pay it forward sometime, as a true Babbler would. Thanks again for your help, and you too Jac.
Bloody site just froze on me again! Need to spend next weekend apping hard drive, I think.
*zapping
I do keep my computer clean, but every 18 months or so a true clearout is needed.
'Nite Kimm. Come back soon!
You can count on it Jac. I'm hooked.
Morning everyone. Stuck on my last word of the grid. lu6/24? Any help appreciated!!
hey hey - that's what i'm doing - cleaning out the old cobwebs!!! oh wait...we like cobwebs!! i mean the old files....8)
*Sound of Jamie rubbing his hands together as yet another poor innocent gets hooked.*
lu 6 - is a model of previous years chevrolet car.... or to light...
lJust monkied it as you clue came up, but thanks anyway. I've about 2 minutes before i need to start work if anyone needs any clues?
i'm clueless as to why i am still awake....8)
Ren - don't question your awakeness - just use it to e-mail the pics you promised! LOL.
Market seller here again: ANYONE NEED ANY CLUES?
i sent you one tonight..i'm looking thought my computer and need some from mez..and he's asleep!
A new word for alll we Babblers from a UK Pampers (nappies/diapers) ad - STRETCHIFICATION. First one to work out the score for that wins a double shot of best Malt. (Well, it was Burns' Night earlier!)
the flesh is willing, however the brain is weak.....
Ditto, Ren. But being one of the Undead, I WILL work it out!
this is the word i find most interesting FLOCCINAUCINIHILIP ILIFICATION
mistress - this word is from your eton college
Ren - the nappy word is a 16/286, I think. What the BH is the word you just posted?
and the accent is on the CA - go figure...
Wm. Shenstone, love someone for his little or of no value love of money. LOL.
it is the act of belittling someone or something - expressing the idea that he/she or it is of little or no value...i thought you would love to work it out!!! i's really a cool word...
there's not enought letters in the grid to have it... it would need to be a sequel!!!!
I was just about to say something the same myself, Ren.
I wonder.... can the grid accommodate that immorta; word from 'Mary Poppins': supercalifragilisticexpi....
probably in sequel format..and not the programming sequel... Sequel babbling..start today and finish next year!!!
LOL, Ren! Any clue-hunters still out there, btw?
40 mins to go on this grid - so it is possible to do! Take heart, any new seekers!
Oh! I didn't mean the sort of New Seekers that are ging to start singing,m 'I'd like to nbuy the World a Coke....', btw.
Excvuse bad typing - I'm knackered!
lol mistress...i can see us singing that song...!!!
nbuy is a good word....it's like in texas people was WARSH for wash....who invented WARSH????
And here is another classic SF icon for the theme today -- sorry I can't stay to chat -- time ot tuck Kirsten in -- will try to be back later :)
Yea, Ren! 'I'd like to buy the world a grid, and keep them seeking words.. I'd like to buy the world a grid and see them seeking fish...'
hey hey wolfie!! tell kirsten hidy hey from me!!!!
'It's the real thing (Babble is), Sorry to have missed you for now, Wolfie (it's the real thing!) LOL.
..real thing, will make your brain squish, it's the real 'thing...' etc.
i'd like to buy the world a grid and have them type for me...
I invented a word tonight during a rehearsal. I asked if there was going to be "microfication" at our next gig!
hey y'all- long time no grid ren- i didn't recognize you- i know there has to be a barbie book cover- :)
oh that's good harp!!! is that like a tiny modification?
Hiya Harp. And a 'microfication' is...?
beebee - there is - i was just to tired last night to find it////8)-
harp- was the microphone in need of repair?
Hiya, beebee. How you doin'? (Not said in a Joey voice!)
ren- i know that feeling
beebee - i'm not sure i want to be a barbie in austrailia...it night get a little to hot for me ....hahahahahaha
I was trying to ask if there would be microphones and amplification. Combined the words to get microfication. I suppose it's partner would be ampliphones.
jac- i'm much better, been under the weather (sounds like i'm writing a cat in the hat book) how are you?
yuppers harp - those are 2 really great words!!!
Harp has added 2 new words to the dictionary and I'm doing fine, thanks, beebee.
beebee - at leat you didn't utter the words 'I've been under the doctor'! LOL.
Has anyone heard from GW, Kristen, and the Almost Here Sebastian? Tomorrow's the big day!
I think Ren just added a new word, also... yuppers? LOL.
jac- no such luck- but i wouldn't mind that- my doc is HOT- lol
Harp - just been talking to GW. He's gone off for the moment. Things are okay, norm., etc.
harp - wolfie went to tuck kirsten in and said he would be back later.
harp- what happens 2-morrow?
is the baby coming?
BeeBe - GW's son will be born later today!
that's wonderful- i know they're excited
For me here in UK it's 5.40am. But over the Pond? I dunno! I do words not maths!
I think he said the C-section was moved up a week, from Feb 3 to Jan 26? or 27?
Thurs (today here in UK) is 26th. fri will be 27th. He told me Friday.
i'm 11: 41 pm cst or there about
i hope all goes well for them and their bundle of joy
Ditto, BeeBee.
it's 12:42 am thurs 26th here in sc
jac- y r u up? have u been 2 bed yet?
technically, bb, it's Friday in SC. It's still Thursday in Montana.
harp- yesterday was wed- today is thurs. unless i missed some days
Beebee, no, not been to bed yet as had to stay up to be alarm for trucker other half.
harp- i think you are wishing to hard for the weekend- lol
However, it is Thursday here in UK.5:45am.
jac- don't you hate that- my husband always wants me to wake him up- that's why there are alarm clocks, but he sleeps through it and it wakes me up :) u must be tired- when will you get to go to sleep?
Rats! I'm wrong again. Senior moment. My week has hardly been routine, so I guess I don't know what day it is! Sorry.
ren- what day is it in texas? wed?
harp - did you transmography on us tonight?
harp- at least you were pushing us to the end of the week and not the beginning .lol
I have (0) words left to find... yay!
beebee - it's wed for a few more minutes ( and that's not a word in the grid!!)
YEEEEAAAAAAAAA Harp
Beebee - I'll finally get off to sleep in about an hour, and, before I know it, my beloved will be bringing me tea and whispering in my ear that I should have been up hours ago. (That will be about 3 hours after I got to sleep). Given the chance, I sleep 8 hours straight, these days (though could once do with 5-6 hours) and will do 11-13 hours if left undisturbed.:-(
jac- LOL, how true- how true-
Ready for Australia Day, Mate! (Did I get the day right?)
i guess i should be looking for what i'm gonna change into
Aussie National Anthem: Australians all let us rejoice For we are young and free We've golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea: Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare, In history's page let every stage Advance Australia fair, In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair. Beneath our radiant Southern Cross, We'll toil with hearts and hands, To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands, For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share, With courage let us all combine To advance Australia fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia fair. Okay! Done my bit for that now!
Beebee - it's summer there now. A muscle t-shirt and a pair of shorts should do the trick. Add the corked hat, if you must.
ok - i've transmographied again
