GW: I thnk Mama's going to like her new page. Soon as she gets over being scared of it. Did you decide on colors for yours, yet?
woof ....that says *48* words, right? lalalalalala I can't hear you
How about Grey/Light Blue if that looks good to you?
four hund....... no way!!
s7/44 s8/60
I think I can handle that, GW!
Hi Griff -- How's things by you?
Hanging in there. My back is crap so it's messing up my babble game.
sorry to hear that, Griff -- is this a new development?
Hi mrp, GW, you're in the grid!
s 8/60 x2, s 8/45
No, it's still from the car accident a few weeks ago. Whine complain. Have missed hearing all the news here, but find I have to abruptly depart when the back screams.
gosh, nan, look at you roll. I'm just sitting here confounded and haven't even put in the L-word staring me in the face...
Hi Chic... hi everyone! Gotta say it might be too much... I have my daughter's birthday party to organise tonight, so babble is out of the picture until Saturday at this stage!! (wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! !)
I'm off to bed. I will finish in morning and then won't be on til Saturday sometime. Have a good night all.
Good Night, Doxy
night doxy
(((***mrp***))) -- enjoy the party! ((**doxy**)) -- sleep well!
I'm out - good luck all!
night griff
So long, Griff --- I hope you start feeling better -- will send good mojo your way :) ((**Gentle Hug**))
nite doxy, griff, mrp! I can't believe 'hoser' is not a word!
hi Grey! Everything getting better with Seb?? nite to those going!!
yep - he's home and currently sleeping in my lap :)
chic... babble also doesn't accept hoserie! can you believe that!! I am disappointed that it seems to be anti-ho**
chic -- I want patooty to be a word but it says no! --- my gramma always used to say "you bet your sweet patooty"
grey... good to hear...!
Hey I've gotten 153 already and some 8's too. Lots of extensions!
LOL GW -- so did mine!
only 53 here, but Seb has been fussy :)
I know, we get to use all these "foreign" words but good ol' fashioned American?
also -- I have been trying to find all the p's
Good luck, GW -- don't think I can find 63 p's without brandyjack's list.
I have 37 already -- just monkeying at this point -- with so many it is pretty hard to miss ;D
I have 125 now
ok -- moving on with 44 p's -- otherwise I will just frustrate myself :)
well i'm going to take a break see you all in a little bit
205 words and I'm nodding off over the KB - beddy-bye time. Say hello to family woulf. Night all.
G'night ho4! :) Will do ((**HUG**))
Good night, hootowl -- I'm not far behind you.
Got 40 p's so far, gw -- how are you doing?
142. Time for lights out for me. Catch you some tomorrow. Bye now and (((Hugs))) to all!
stopped at 44 plus the lower 2 so I could get my count even with others ;)
((*chic*)) -- Sleep well and dream deep!
Stalled at 226 -- time to sign off :)
Well.....make a girl feel wanted,I log on and everyone leaves...... :(
see you later, c-nan -- only 134 so far, but will be around for a bit -- Seb is due for more meds at 4:30 -- will bounce in and out as I try for a nap :)
408.......408.......!!!!
I'm hear Tbear, though I tend to be quiet
I'm still here, tbear :)
Hiya.....Woulfie....So lil Seb is poorly then?
Tigereye...hiya....quiet is good sometimes :)
I seem to be slowing down a bit, got to 139 words. I want plaster to be there though...
He contracted RSV but not to severely -- spent the past few nights at the hospital merely as a precaution due to his age (<1 month) --- now he is home but needs nebuliser treatments every 4 hours to help keep his airways clear
Poor little fella.....as your message came up my daughter came downstairs clutching her throat....infection...can't swallow....awwww poor little things...well she isn't so small now at 16,but still my baby sometimes. Right, words.......
F 7/40
tbear -- sick children at any age are worthy of our sympathy and need our attention -- I hope she feels better soon :)
You're right and i hope he's good again soon....it's so much harder when they are suffering but too small to tell you how they're feeling. Have you all found the funny word st5/18 and plural 6/30....what a funny word-double vowel!!
dalmation that f7/40 is a silly one too eh?
co7/56
tbear -- I didn't have it, but now I do, as well as the 7 and 8 that build off of it as well ;)
Just got historical *refresh*
Tell us cybernan??? who's your fella?
Bonnie Prince Charlie
and what did he do on this fine february day.....my poor ole sarah bernhardt had her leg amputated after falling on stage!!!! 1 finger typing cos cat's come for a cuddle,so no capitals for a bit...lol
back in a bit -- gonna try for a catnap :)
I like it nan. Your vintage photo, tbear is enchanting. It is baby shower day, I think. So I'm giving the baby a Coltrane album (and it's blue, for boys).
Mab -- it's history day.
hi mab...thought the baby shower was tomorrow hun
Oh. Well that works too. Coltrane is dead. Since the late 1950s, I think.
and he may well have perished on the 23th feb for all we know.....
sc8/45 and sn8/60
whew, 286 and very tired - i guess i'll have a big job ahead of me tomorrow, good night everyone
goodnite helen...
Well done, Helen ......... Good night, everyone.
nite cybernan and charlie
Sorry, tbear, I had walked away from the computer. Yes, there are some silly words tonight.
Wow, a giant today! Morning, dear gang... good for having fun, this one, I suspect?
do I? don't I ......?
Hi Atalante! :) That bad, hm?
well, how bad can it be? lol *jumps in*
Welcome! Just found a whole nest of lookalike words, so I am having a ball :)
St8/60 as well.
Wow! This looks like a lot of fun, and I mean a lot!
Exactly so, spellit! :)
Morning Sprite and all
I found 177 words in no time, and still typing away. It IS fun ;) Well, it will be until we hit the dead wall, of course...
It's great - almost everything I type in is a word :)
There's this beautiful ending in the lower right corner... good for at least a 100 words!
That's where I am right now
Thought so. Very nice place to be ;)
*big hug for Woulf and the little one* When you're awake again and reading this, know that I am thinking of you ;) My best wishes go with you. Hope Seb is well again very soon.
sn7/44 & 8/60
Ha Ho Hum! I believe those were mentioned yet. There's St8, Sn8, Sc8 to be found there. And a couple of 7s too.
thanks sprite
*yet = already. Guess I am mixing things up already!
LOL, I knew what you meant. :)
Sometimes I really betray myself as being Dutch... ;)
Only *very* occassionally!
As long as it isn't irritating anyone, I don't care. Wish I were a native speaker though... I just love the language.
pffff you can speak English better than a good amount of native English speakers!
LOL!
well how many english speakers know ywis? ;)
Sprite - Your English is a bijillion times better than my Dutch!!
Atalante: I am pretty sure only babblers know that one! Ywis! Ho Hum: I guess you are right :)
Hi gridders all well ?? having a babble ball too?
Ywis is a fantastic word! It sounds as if it such be a swear word - "I cant find that 8 letter word! Ywis!"
For sure, Lucky! This is a fun grid. Way over half and still no trouble finding new ones... that's a miracle in itself. Got to leave you guys for a bit, must visit fysiotherapist. Happy hunting and see you later!
a-ha! more Dutchness! its physiotherapist! :)
I love 'ywis'. Powerful, beautiful... ywis!
Argh... time for me to crawl away shamefacedly...
awwwwwww *hugs* :)
Really sorry to go now, love the company :( But with a grid this big, chances are I will see at least some of you later on :)
Bye Sprite
Sprite hurry back on the double!
morning all : )
Does anyone have clues for es 5/12 an7/32 an6/18 and an5/10 please these haunt me?
Good Morning All -- back for a few while I wind down from the 4:30 feed/meds/diaper change --- Seb wanted everything all at once :D
Lucky -- I have none of those yet, sorry :)
Es 5/12 to pay the reckoning for or to support an maintain
an/32 = an + vowel + nuisance pe4/5
an 7/32, sorry.
Thanks trishtrash - I needed that one also.
Hello there Greywoulf long time since we did the furrrr hug! *****furrrr hugs Grey**** ty trishtrash a/32 is a good one still working on es5/12 dallmatian ...
yw, dal... how are you doing?
Great! I love the big grids as I start off with so many words it makes me feel good. And how are you doing?
Lucky ---(((***Hug***))) I just got the es5 -- es + temporary bed
good too, thanks :) at the 'slowing down' point now, but still having fun :)
Has anyone found that an 5/10? It does not seem like there is such a combo.
an5/10 the name given to Saturn's projecting rings.
ty Chris, didn't have those
Has anyone fond the as5/18? can't even see it on a2z
Ty Grey got es5 now
as5/18 someone who as** a question is an as***
not yet, Ho Hum Lucky - Yw
Thank you I was sooooooooo coming form the wrong angle!!!
How do we call Saturns rings if it doesn't ring even a bell?
LOL
I find it frustrating that only about a third of the words that end in Y can be pluralled
Ding Dong J oin the club Woulfie I'm off to Saturn in a bit if I cannot continue this grid.
Back! Hi all :)
can someone help me with the last pl 5/12 ? It is my last p word and I'm not getting it.
Time to try for some more sleep -- will be back later for more :) (*HUGS for all*)
pl5 take the 6/21 above it and remove the last vowel
Ah Woulf, just missed you! Sleep well and *hugs*. Pinecone: do you have the things you eat from without e?
good night wolfe
nite grey... get good sleep
my last pl5/12 *sounds* like something you'd do to your hair, although it's actually something to do with land. Haven't checked bj's list yet, so it might not be *the* last pl5/12
I meant woulf..I should go to bed too
That figures, sprite -- you show up again as I have to leave to get some sleep! Got your hugs before ;) ((**sprite**)) See you later -- I really need to sleep :)
Go sleep! You need it... enjoy!
pine p- you use a p** in the kitchen + last two letters of affirmative word
thank you Mr. P -- I got it. Sometimes missing a plural is tricky
oh good! I am just about finished! Don't know why but this grid is sitting ok with me
Hi Sprite how do you call Saturns rings?? the an5/10 clue from Chris
Same here, mrP! It's really flowing with this one. Fun!
Snoozzz Grey see you later!
Lucky: Saturn, Lord of the Rings?
No Sprite I don't think so Saturn the planet Are you physio floored?
Saturn the planet is the real Lord of the Rings :P And yes, I am physio floored... what a wonderfully exact expression!
With a grid this large you know we would have that familar fish.
I am always happy when we have fish.
Sprite floored or otherwise ...one more ring around the rosy... what are those rings called for an5/10 do you know???
BLUB ... BLUB ... BLUB!
LOL!
Def -A name given to either of the projecting ends of Saturn's ring. Put that into google and it should give you the word.
Blubber the blub did not know fish could LOL!
It's not the rings exactly, lucky, but the ends of the rings. An + chair, loose last letter, switch vowels.
Ho Hum ti dum got it How wonderful how bright thanks to you to Sprite
Ho Hum is half in the grid today.
So is Grey today!
True!
Lets LOL another clue an 6/18
Not digital.
Oh no, that is the 24. This is the evergreen. Old acquaintance of us hardcore babblers.
Digital...??? My late former employer... no way!
Just peeked at the stats panel. It claims I have 5 more 7s to find!!!
Nepal and soho aren't allowed :(
oh my, that is alot of co's.... the grid has slowed down to 'crawling in the desert' speed...
Don't feel bad - I still have 10 to find!!!!
OH BOY OH BOY what to do but give a clue.... co - those who prepare the dinner are*** the work in the***** sounds like a cluedo sentence LOL
I don't believe the stats panel. Don't. Don't. Can't be.
I've got 6 to find *sigh*
Do you also have the motor vehicles without S?
sprite keep the spirits up
some of the c's are weird!!
shall we compare 7s, sprite? see if we can get the lot
Had those 3 8s in no time at all... well, that shows you never can tell :)
For once I agree with the President!
yeah!! go sprite!!
AN7/36, 7/32 CO 7/48, 7/56, 7/32 FO 7/40 HO 7/48, 7/32 PL 7/32, 7/32 SC 7/32 SN 7/44 SO 7/28, 7/32 ST 7/30, 7/44
These are mine so far: An7/36, An7/32 Co7/48, Co7/32 Fo7/40 Ho7/48, Ho7/32 PL7/32 Sc7/32, Sn7/44, So7/28, So7/32, St7/44, St7/44 To7/28
There are some differences! :D
woohoo! *runs to find*
co7/56 same as other but switch the two last letters around and change the r to an s
That's a really baffling clue, LOL! You have me stumped, mrP!:)
ok c07/56 what a dove sounds co* + what you use to unlock the door
I'd say the 56 is what the 48 do.
sprite the last 4 letters are wot u use to unlock a door
thats a different co/56 mrp! 2 of them!
ROFLOL! Thanks to you all, guys, I can tell you there are 2 Co7/56!
yep... take the clue with what you unlock the door and change the switch the last two letters, and change the r to s for the other 7/56
don't listen... change the last letters to y + plural
or use the r + plural
For those reading the log later on: yes, it IS confusing LOL
oh my... I am not in form tonight!!
Found the 2nd PL too, thanks Atalante! Down to 4 now.
There's an ec 7/40 which should make you happy ;)
Ah... fishy!
Nope... just happy, not fishy :( Thanks, got it!
4 too! Am working on this second st/44
That has my least favorite consonant in it.
give me a big WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! I FINISHED!!
oh. duh. I've already got both of them!
WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! for mrP!!!!!!
wooohooooooooooooooo"
whoo-hoo for mrp!

thank you thank you... come on Sprite!!

MrP, you have got them all... so help us out! What 3 are we missing? Please?

Found Oc7/32 too. One more!
First letter of the one still missing.
pe7 front lateral muscle + t + highest card in the deck
Think I got it: Pe7/36.
an7/32 same as hungarian capital city Budapest, change the first letters
Got them all :)
That was the 'not digital' one.
Tssssss... ignore that. Nonsense.
You're a marvel Sprite - well done!
spellit: all the biggies that is. Still need more words!
YIKES again!
Eva, in this grid that would be YEKES... but it doesn't take!
lol!
*giggles at Sprite*
Sprite congrats on the biggies pe 7/36 hint me please
I've got one left and now I dont have a clue which one it is LOL!
I bet you are miles ahead of my 204 though
Atalant-you have one more left and you want sympathy?!(-:
Yeah Atalante, it got a bit confusing :) Let me do a count.
nope- just someone to tell me which one I'm missing!
which one... can you see if it is a 7?
any clues 4 al5/14
eva - I meant one 7 - not 1 word!!! I wish!!
an4 - another term for 'uptight'
al5/14 - former Vice President (almost)
7s: Ax2 Cx4 E F Hx3 O Px3 Sx6 T
Oh...well that's a bit better(-: I'm just spseed typing the obvious ones now....sure I'll bog down pretty soon.
I have less than 100 left now and finally slowing down a bit... keep going Eva, there are lots and lots of obvious ones in this grid :) :)
ok, need to go prepare for the 'big birthday party' !! Clues are way off for me tonight... see you all tomorrow!! (wave) BYE!
Have fun, mrP! :) We picked up the results last week and they were truly beautiful :)
bye, mrP!
Sprite!! that is wonderful!! so glad it all worked out! We had to change our plans.... now having it at home! SCARY!!
any clues 4 al5/14 apart from former vice president
Trish!! Sorry I didn't see you!! Too busy getting the words in!! How are you??
don't worry, mrP, it's that sort of grid... I've been doing the same. And I'm great, thanks. Got snow this morning :)
al5/14 - a sensation of coldness
al + former vice president
snow is good!! I wish we got snow... we don't get cold anymore! been stinking nasty hot!!
*send mrP a package of snow* it's been a pitiful winter here for snow. But better than stinking nasty hot, poor mrp!
*receiving package of snow and shoving it down my shirt --- bbbrrrrrrrrr!* thank you!
lol, mrp, now I *have* to go put the heating on.
It's been snowing here for nearly 5 hours now. It isn't settling though :(
Tigereye: at least uv got snow...we've got rain!
likewise here, tigereye... it stuck for a while, but although it's still coming down, it's all melting.
got all the 7s - the last one was one I'd sworn I'd typed in! 145 words to go *sigh*
Still 74 here... slowly but surely now. I'll be checking my list for forgotten plurals etc in a minute... always pays off :)
at the moment i've got 14 words!
Great start, Abs* :)
I managed 2 finish yesterdays 1... with loads of help from my Mum, who is at work
WTG! Never mind the help, finishing is great :)
I've just been doing that Sprite - gave me a few more!
It's funny though... when I forgot a plural, well, it's okay. But I always feel very stupid when I have the plural but forgot the singular.
lol yes!!
any clues 4 ea4/4 & it's the 1st or the 2nd
Not with difficulty and not north or west.
Thanks sprite it was the not north or west 1
Glad I could point you in the right direction, lol.
any1 have a clue 4 ec7/40?
Very happy, Abs*.
Hi All how is everyone : ) How many words we after today?
408 Adsman
Brace yourself - 408.
Hi Adsman, going well overhere.
nice....
Yeah, done! I join mrP in the WOOHOO and celebration. Verrrrrry nice one, this!
good going, Sprite! :)
any clues 4 any of the ers?
therefore; unit of energy; god of love
mornin babblers! 408 words?! oi vey!
hi, evanadine.... and see you later everyone, time for lunch
any 1 have clues 4 the fo5, 6 &7?
fo5 6 and 7 expand on the fo4. A slang term for soccer, and the opposite of headers in typing.
Haz1558: Don't u mean football...I'm English
well, i made it over halfway without the list - that's only my old goal, but it may have to suffice today. i don't know if i want to get 60 more and get to 300 at the rate i'm going now...
Well, the problem is that the Americans who play babble think of football as something different. I was putting soccer down not knowing your nationality. Did you get the clues?
Yeh i did. R u from England, Irland or Scotland
I'm from Northern Ireland.
looks like you and me are the only americans up so far, evanadine
You know, the team that beat England when they last met!
Yeh, i no!
unfortunately, up early every day M-F hurshy! hehe
I'm Babbling slowly along - it gets more challenging the farther along you get!
Haz1558: I take it ur off school
My dear Abs, I've been left school a VERY long time! I'm actually a housewife with two grown daughters. If you press on my 'handbag' you'll find out some more about me.
ha! through the a's with no clues!
ha! through the c's with no clues!
Go hurshey!!!!
ha! through the e's... well you get the idea... of course this is with the list so not that impressive. i just get excited when i finish a letter.
Any time you are able to find the words it is IMPRESSIVE. A little help at first and less as we go on.
I can't believe there are 63 x p's in this grid!!!
well, i've been babbling for four months now so i should be good by now. i did get everything with no list yesterday.
actually, 65, if you count the 2 from the other P ;)
Some grids are just easier for us than others. I have been babbling 5 months and I do not mind helps along the way. I find my vocabulary is increasing and the knowledge of words is certainly growing.
evandine I had missed those. urgh!
those 2 are easy -- just think of the head of the catholic church. :)
breakfast time! taking a break with 225 left to go...hehe
F! G!
hey Hurshy, how are you feeling today?
was feeling better but then it came raging back around 5 this morning. i didn't know it could be intermittent like that. i'm seeing the doctor today.
good! yay for drs
and things are better (for now!) with the kiddo.
and yay for kid and you :)
now i just have to get through the next seven hours until my appt. but i have 300 words, so that is a comfort. i must go dry my hair before i have to teach a class. thanks so much for asking, atalante.
we're babble twins I think - I have 300 words too!
I'm with you at 328.
I'm going to give away a word here - but I'm sure everyone's got it by now - why on earth doesn't it accept coker and cokers?
ive never heard it...but that doesnt mean much...heh
morning!
good morning all.
mornin doxy!
perhaps its too scientific - its the name for a big thing that does coking (making c*** from coal). I never understand enable's approach to science - it has the weirdest complicated scientific words, and then missed out on some really simple ones, like common protein names and coker!
Finally passed the half way mark, darn work keeps getting in the way!
go ho hum
thank you doxy!
87 to go, and convinced that there are no more words in the grid
atalante, you can do it!!! Keep going.
It's a cruel joke.
It does seem to get harder the closer we are to the finish.
I'm just being stubborn enough not to look at BJs list! I *will* find them d**n it!
Your'e a brave woman Atlante.
no. just stupid and stubborn!
408 words?! crikey. no wonder i thought this was easy, there's so many words to find!
oh bugger it, I'm not that stubborn after all *opens BJ list*
ther is nothing wrong with that atalante. i use it all the time.
Yup, that's what it's there for! I'm surprised there isn't anything bigger than 8 letters in this one.
any clues for the last 2 an's?
oh so do I LOL I just *try* not to!
sorry angelsong, I work from the bottom and haven't got there yet.
Sorry Angel, I'm lost without the "ant" word on the a's.
I work from the bottom as well. Have you got the two re's yet? I've got the one where you get wet again, but can't think what the other one is. Anyway I cannot believe that I am even attempting this whopper, bu the words are quite reasonable.
the last 2 an's refer to the outermost bits of the rings of Saturn. Pretty common and annoying Babble words
try these an 6 & 7, don't know if they are the right ones, just found them girls name + drift wood
sorry exwren, still on the s's. almost to the r's.
last 2 an's - the 4 is what you give someone in boston who asks you a question, and the 5 is the latin pl of that
thanks bunny and hurshy.
hurshy, who is your icon today?
rasputin
cool.
i don't admire him or anything, i just think he is a fascinating character from a fascinating period of russian history
who's yours, doxy?
I agree with you on that one. I have watched several History Channel shows about him.
I only know the name from the kids cartoon Anastasia, he was the villian.
henry?
Henry VIII. The only one I could think of last night.
yeah, he was definitely a villain, however you slice it. but beyond that, disney doesn't tend to get history right...
Sniff, there was no mermaid?
He definately had quite an influence over the Romanov family.
I think I'll read up on him, get me out of fantasy reading for a bit. I hardly ever watch TV.
It was interesting how he was killed. So many different ways and yet they think he was still alive when thrown in the river.
oh, bunny, i meant RUSSIAN history. the little mermaid is practically a documentary.
Whew! Almost had a burst bubble there.
i know! it's amazing. for anyone who is interested in him and the last romanov family, i enjoyed "nicholas and alexandra" by robert massey.
but be warned - if you think of royalty as special, dignified people, learning about them will destroy this image. i cannot call the last tsar and his wife anything but "nicky and alex"...
back to babbling... clue for ke6, maybe?
I have one ke 6 - ke + sounds like the digits on your feet
oh, of course, i just didn't think plural with a 6 on a 4... silly me
thanks bunny and hurshy, didn't have either one.
i am missing one ko4 - you know, of all the k words so far, i only have heard of 3 of them...
i believe it is the last ko4 (and its plural?) that i need
well, it's one of the last three 4's, definitely, at any rate
the last ko 4/8 I have is defined as homer
hurshy, do you have the Japanese musical instrument like a zither?
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Just logged on...408!!! Most I've ever seen in a puzzle. Must get started. Hi everyone!
good morning
i have homer, and it must be the zither that i'm missing
where's lemon when you need him?
ok, thank heavens, i'm done with k's. i think i had monkeyed every possibility but that, chessy. thanks.
yw hurshy - this is a marathon for evryone!
please tell me bj's program hiccupped...
is that ko a 4/8 as well?
yes
ope, i needed the soda one, got it!
All done - very glad thats over - spots before eyes...
WAY TO GO SPELLIT!!!!!!
I haven't been at it for even an hour yet and decided to pull out BJ's list.
well done spellit :)
i need one more ok, i have two that appear to be plurals
sigh. no way I'm going to finish this one. I have to go to work in a little while, and not enough time once I get off to finish.
congrats spellit!
There are some realy odd words - nearly had our volcano again
Hi All - So is Dr_G. making up for all the short grids today? LOL 81 words in like 10 mins. LOL this is crazy
OH MY GOSH! You have got to be kidding me. I needed this grid YESTERDAY! I don't have time today. ARRRRRGGGGGHH
hi faeriekae
OOPs sorry --- Good morning everyone. I just had a minor freakout and realized I didn't change my icon.
Hurshy the other ok sounds as though it should end in a "y" but uses another letter
i think he just wanted an excuse to put in la5 - a jewish food - bc it's a funny word
MM-(((((x))))) good morning sweetie....how goes the belly dancing :)
Not bad --- I haven't done it in a little while - my friend has been out of town visiting her grandbaby.
That's me off for a while - heads for darkened room..
spellit - it won't take "okae"... i can't think what else...
brb - getting a history icon.
change your a to an e and try another ending
I just got my home video lessons DVD in the mail yesterday. My friend Sue and I got started on it last night. What FUN :D I love it.
Faerie, I went to the site in your profile yeasterday, I love the humility fairy!
ah, got it now, thanks spellit
Hurshy - sounds like okay..
well done
done through the O's and only 77 left to go!
Bunny - TY - Faerie Kae - spread her grand feathers and snaps "It's not about you, it never was" She is pretty awesome. I just feel so honored to have something made in my image...*
I saw the mermaid - fairy statuette, I collect fantasy items, but I couldn't find another one like it.
Okay I'm back. My icon is Franz Liszt - reportedly so handsome that girls swooned at his piano recitals. He is also the first pianist to play with the piano sideways to the audience so that everyone could see his profile.
Good morning all... what's with the puzzle extremes?? 84 yesterday, 400+ today? Yikes!!
Faerie --- I need major dust today. There is no possible way for me to find all these words. I
i guess babble is not a TAME lion
Which one did you get Faerie?
morning jera
Here is an off the wall question - has anyone ever tried drop shipping?
Hi Jera!
Bunny-You must be speaking of "Soleil the faerie of Fun" there is also "Lunaria the faerie of Intimacy" but she may not have a statue yet. My icon today is "Trinity the faerie of Truth"
I don't even know what that is Bunny.
a selling method for ebay, I'm getting really tired of standing in line at the post office
Hi Jera
Hmmm no I haven't tried it.
Faerie, it was the faerie of fun. I want that statue, my bathroom is done in mermaids.
MM-It is Bellydance Magical Motion for beginners.
Cool WE have Discover Belly Dance with Neena and Veena - I really like it.
can't seem to get that an 6/18
I have sc8 and sn8. what's missing?
an 6/18 - is that the lipstick tree?
angel - list says st8
Bunny - How cute. I will have to have a talk with Lisa and let her know there is a need for more mermaids. Her work is so detailed and I just can't praise her enough. She helped me through the most dificult time of my life and I will never forget her kindness and sweet words.
ah, angel, it's a lot like some of the long co's
MM-I cleaned house yesterday afternoon. I knew I was having my friend over so I vacuumed, dusted, moped, cleaned the bathroom and got our practice room ready.
Lori called me last night. She is coming home today or tomorrow. That means it will probably be Monday before we dance again. I could do it on my own - but I don't ever seem to put the video in by myself.
thanks hurshy -- i was missing that last 8 as well, and i got it with your clue!
She's been having marital problems and this trip to see the gbaby was kind of a cooling off period. Thankfully she and her husband have decided to work things out.
yw einstein
Bunny - I have Soleil and I know you would be very happy with her. You should order her. I have her in my bathroom also. I didn't really decorate with mermaids but she looks beautiful in there.
Faerie, do you have the ornament or the statue?
MM-Sorry to hear your friend is have problems. Sometimes it is best to get away from everyone and everything and look at the situation from a diffrent angle. I couldn't believe it when you said you were doing bellydancing since I had just ordered my DVD.
Bunny-I have the statue. She is about 9" tall and beautiful.
One thing I want to do over my spring break week from Kindermusik is make us some large scarves. I know we can get the sheer fabric and make them cheaper than we can buy them. We have ankle and wrist bracelets and finger cymbals. Can't use them yet - but I have them.
I can't find a place to order the stat, just the ornament, or I'd snag one immediately!! She is gorgeous!!
I have "all" of her prints and "all" statues and "all" ornaments and the Moogome and "all" candles which smell sooooooooooo good and burn very even and all natural. She and I are very close friends. You should see my house. Faeries in every room.....*
Bunny - let me go check it out Be Right Back.
down to 50! all s's and t's
I can't believe it - DONE!!!!
wtg you two!
WAY TO GO DALMATION!!!!!!
Congratulations Dal!
Thanks - actually I like the big ones as long as I have time to work on them.
congrats, o spotted one
me too, o spotted one
Hi folks. I've just arrived home from doing the big weekly shop. I'm typing my words in from my written list while I have a much-deserved cuppa. Found 229 so far.
hi jacula
Hey Jac, half way there!
Hi Jac. I picked up a cup of Starbucks while I was in town today. Very rarely do that. Cheers.
Bunny-Lisa have pulled them from her site because she droped the manufacturerererer. But, she may still have a few left and will e-mail me when she finds out for sure.....I'll see what I can do for you. :)
I bought starbucks once to see what the hype was about, $4 for a half full cup of foam, stick with my black frou frouless coffee from now on!!
I really appreciate that!!
Bunny = I don't buy the frothy drinks. Just the regular blends. It is the best cup of coffee on the east side of town. I prefer one of the campus coffee houses. They use organic blends and are cheaper but I wasn't up there today. Usually I make my own at home.
Think I'm goona snag a few candles too, they are very reasonably priced! How big are they?
ugh, sk not looking pretty
Cheers, MM. I'll stick with my tea. Starbucks is too strong for me. Sorry for delay replying - the gas man just came in to read my meter. *Sigh! Another bill to come.*
Music, I may have just ordered the wrong choice, but I really prefer to make mine at home as well.
hi jacs! (and anyone else who joined since i did)
no problem. I'm more immersed in the grid today. Trying to get as many words as possible before I have to frost cupcakes for Sarah's school and teach three classes.
and it's down to 18 little ol' t words
Well, I'm taking a break at 251 words. Need to unpack and put away the shopping and to get a beef casserole made and cooking. The dirty laundry and ironing piles also beckon.:-( BBL.
Bye Jac

blast-off!!!!!
Woohoo for Hurshy!!!! Congratulations!!!
WAY TO GO HURSHY!!!!!!
:) :) thank you smaller
and doxy!
YEY HURSHY!~!! WAY TO GO!
and musicmom!
Hurshy, seriously, YOU ARE AMAZING!!! my goal is half
me too Smaller. half would make me happy today.
well, i'm glad you find me amazing. :)
nothing will make me happy today, though, except GETTING RID OF THIS ITCHING!!!!
Congrats Hurshy! You really are amazing:)
Why are you itching?
what? the news hasn't spread all over babbleland? i'm having some feminine problems.
MM-DON'T ASK??????????
I am sooooo sorry ---- that is the worst!!! Have you tried a baking soda bath?
i'm seeing the doc this afternoon - anyone who prays, pray that she would fix me fast!!! :) it's been like a week and a half, two doses of diflucan have not got rid of the problem
I definitely will pray. I can't believe Diflucan hasn't worked. I always use that.
i should try the baking soda bath, but i think i need a stronger cure. don't laugh but... i've been using ice cubes to try to numb it.
Hurshy-you are in my prayers sweetie. As a matter of a fact eveyone one of you are in my prayers. (:)
No laughing here --- anything to ea*** (almost screwed up) the pain. Baking soda will temporarily relieve the itching but won't cure it.
thanks, gals. :)
Hurshy-I've used Cortaid for the itch in the past.
down to 58
GO Doxy---------------@
Go Doxy!!!
wow...how many bazillion words and points are in this grid today?
Woo Hoo! Now available for clues!!
WAY TO GO BUNNY!!!!!
Howdy again
Bunny - Congrats - You Rock
408 words
Adsman - hi :)
ty bunny
Hi Faerie
Afternnon Adsman
Hi Bunny well done for finishing : )
an 6/18 and 5/10 pretty please and thank you*
Thx, think I'm gonna jet if no one needs a clue, be back tomorrow!
ec5?
YEY! Bunny!!! Bye Bunny See you tomorrow.
ec7, not 5
nevermind, got it.
How is everybody lost in this massive grid like me
an 5 - add a vowel to the 4/4 before it an 6 - an + sounds like the upper level of the house used for storage, change the last vowel ec - high level of passion
Bye Bunny have a good day.
TY Bunny
Adsman - isn't it crazy? SOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo many words with so few letters to chose from..We can do it - or at least we can try.
will try
can't we just do this grid in teams?
Smaller - what a grand idea.
thanks faaeerrriieea
so fairirireea, i have 91 words, will you do the rest?
Smaller *sprinkle*sprinkle*sprinkle* just a little faerie dust for the grid. I know it needs it.
Smaller - I have 125.....what does that tell you?
Smaller, maybe if you got her name right she'd feel more like sharing with you. Hi all
Faaeerriieeak shoot, i knew i should have asked hurshy! LOL
Yoink-she calls me everything, just wait you will see. lol
I always find copy and paste useful for those tricky Babble names
LOL!
Folks - I have 213 words. I need to go frost those cupcakes for Sarah's class and take a short break. Hopefully I'll be back for a little more before I teach this afternoon. HAppy Babbling.
MM-happy frosting :D
Music Mom, I'll be your best friend if you give me your words!
I think even when i have them all I will still not believe that there are 63 words starting from that one P
*whispers* ...unless someone comes along with more words than 213.
Yoink-I agree.....but, when you get them, remember copy and paste......send to me......lol - waria
I Have 119
Smaller - come frost these stupid cupcakes and I'll work your grid<G>
LOL adsman, faerriieeakaaaa has more tho. LOL faeriiee, today should be share-day on the babble playground
Smaller there is always Hurshy but she is gone for now so why don't you sneak over and steal her list :) she won't even miss it.
MM- I'm on my way, go ahead and start on my grid and I'll be right over
I have 270
yoink, but you lie a lot
MM-come do mine and I'll frost those cupcakes for you. As long as I'm able to do taste test......
ROFLOL smaller
Yoink-270? You are on drugs man. No way....And if you are on drugs, share.
Sorry faeriekae, I need all that I have to get me to the last 138!
12 left, all a's
Never mind I have Vicodin 750mg. I don't need your stinkin' drugs....
Oh and Smaller, jealousy is a bad thing
We dont need drugs man
Go Doxy - Go Doxy
fight fight fight fight
Afternoon all
Adsman-Actually I do need drugs. Took a bad fall and mess my shoulder up somthing awful..Just waiting for surgery - yuck
Ouch!! U OK
TSM-Hi - welcome to world of many, many, many, many, many words.
ToeSuck! Hows my baby today?
Hi Toe sock monkey
OH Faiieerriiee, I am soooo sorry!!!!
Adsman-yes I'm ok just can't use left arm.....
I Hope your right handed
Hi TSM
Smaller-Adsman- yes right handed but it is very akward trying to type. But it doesn't stop me from doing much. I cleaned house yesterday.....
Maybe it's the drugs
DONE!!!!
wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo doxy
Doxy *~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*Congra tulations! WhooooHooooo..
I would love to stay and chat, but am leaving for a conference in about an hour or so and still have to get ready to go. See you all Saturday.
Doxy - now we want all the words....just start listing them and we will all be happy :)
holy cow!! good job doxy, i'm STILL at 91
See how she is - won't share. and doesn't play well with others.
268 now
I wish I could faeriekae. I love to help others with clues.
faeirriekaeee, what is WITH these people today!!
Angel - go,go,go,go,go you can do it.
I have 278 words and am losing the will to live. The words are right down to the bottom of the page - what will happen if I get more. Will they fall off?
silly haz, you know the page just grows
Doxy- we understand - you have business to take care of.
Yay Angel! LOL Haz!!
go angel!!! the wordsaren't really hard today, just lots.
I'm not silly - I've just never experienced this before.
Haz, it's like eating chocolate, there's always magically room for more
"whispers to Smaller" - I wish I knew what was up with "these" people...Maybe Hurshy will come back.
really, haz? seems like you've been around long enough to have seen long grids.
see you all Saturday.
warai, Smaller! I assuming chocolate is food, am I right?
Hurshy-Hi, didn't know you were lurking....
Bye Doxy
chocolate is great food
i wasn't lurking, really, i was quiddling, and chatting with a student
(assume)
chocolate is not food, it is heaven
**Assume! And I have just been to an extra English class...^^;
that was a joke, lemon. but a serious one.
you could also have said "i am assuming"
Hurshy-we only were wishing you were here to give clues everyone else ditched us. I could use help with the first "ap" please.
i just taught one of my students here about warai
warai, Hurshy! ^^ I think - not sure, but what you call chocolate may be chokoreto. If it is, then I agree!
the first one? really faerie? monkeys.
I'll take the fish now......
hey, i just realized the entire title of pl**** of the ap** is in the puzzle!!!
AND the first three words all connect
Hurshy-sensei, is your icon Rasputin? I remember doing a project on Rasputin...it was, I think you say creepy :)
so maybe that was the source of this grid, not the jewish food, as i earlier speculated
Well spotted Hurshy
yes, lemon, i am impressed that you know that!
Good day All! can I get a clue for the co 5/16 & co 6/27. please?
And a handy word for me is in the puzzle too! the ko, the instrument, it was the first one I spotted
i like to speculate that dr_g influences the grids to some extent rather than leaving them entirely to chance, and that he has some reason - like "potato" was in on thanksgiving.
yeah, but where were you when i needed to find that ko, lemon?
Rah Rah Rasputin Russia's favourate love machine..
chic - cockney british expression of amazement, and pl
Hurshy-sensei, I loved the Russian history unit we did in History! Though it was very creepy learn(ing?) about how Rasputin die...very scary
Aa, I am sorry Hurshy...I do extra English classes after school, that is where I was! T_T
ing is right, and (died). i know, he was a freak. not just in death, but in life. sex with children...ick ick ick
warai Adsman-san! ^^
the ONE time i really needed you to teach me something, lemon...
Hey Lemoned
*hangs head* gomen! ^^;
you should tell them that babbling is just as good as an extra english class
thanx, hurshy
i'm just teasing you, of course, lemon
Hey I learn new words every day Lemoned
warai...I would be able to tell them that if my accent was good enough! I write English much better than I speak...short sentence are about as much as I can handle :/
Warai, Adsman-san, that makes the two of us...I constantly learn new English in school. Hardly any of it I am able to use in polite conversation, however!
(sentences) well, maybe you need a computer with a voice so you can type things and it will say them for you
you would sound like a Dalek Lemoned Exterminate...
hm...good idea! I should mention that...all depending on how you get your tongue around the word 'computer' o.o I say it like, "copuutehruu", but I do not think that is right, somehow
hurshy, who is the dude in your icon today?
Er...^^; what is a Dalek? *blushes*
There from a big TV show here in the UK Lemoned Dr Who
chic - you clearly haven't been reading the log.. :) it's rasputin.
Aa, I googled it...I would not like to sound like one of those!
lemon, you know the word "come"? like "come over here and sit down". and then there's "pew" which is what you sit in in church, it sounds like pyuu. then "ter". like in "after" or "enter"
come-pyu-ter
ok, i'm seeing all sorts of stoner words in here....
oh you could Lemoned that would be cool.. : )
come-pew-ter...warai, I am sitting behind my keyboard repeating the word over and over ^^ Thank you, Hurshy-sensei! I will try and get my koe (I don't know the English o_o) around that!
warai Adsman-san...maybe I should dress up like one too :)
You know it makes sense...
koe: voice (i'm assuming you didn't mean manure)
when i have to leave for work stuff and come back, i've forgotten which words i've entered so i'm seeing "oops you've already used that word" A LOT darn!
i think i'm going to go to lunch now. see you later, friends.
Hmmm, goodlooking and evil.....
manure?! er, no, you were right with voice...I do not know why, the pronounciation of the 'c' always makes me forget that word :/
Sorry-had to answer the telephone. I'm back
welcome back those who left and c ya Hurshy
warai Adsman! I am sure it does...to someone, anyway :) Well, it perhaps made sense to the Daleks
Bai and thank you Hurshy-sensei!
Oh Lemon! "manure" is such a good lesson! you are learning all sorts of things today!
I dont have to stop babbling to forget what ive entered Smaller that screen is allways in front of me
(though since you managed to finish, I think you would deserve the title of sempaii as well!)
hi kids.
warai! hai, Smaller, I can see myself using that word a lot -__-
LOL adsman!!!!
hey! finally after months of babbling, my first name is in this grid!!!
Hi Boreetos
Good Morning, everyone
Hi Cybernan good evening from here
HI Boreetos! Is your first name "Toot"
im with ya cyber, its morning for me too.
oops sorry I posted a word!
Howdy, friends and neighbors 8) I don't see booreetos in the grid?
konnichiwa, Boreetos-san and Cybernan-san hm...try say that five times fast :/
Smaller said a word........... *shock Horror*
no smaller, but thanks. THat'd sure be a nice butch name for a guy. "Hi my name is Toot."
Smaller, I would not have guess that was a word in a million year...
Lol Boreetos
morning lemoned, glad to see your still with us. I hope you'll forgive my lack of proper capitaliization of your name. :)
adsman and boreetos, PLEASE forgive, seemed really funny...until i realized it was a major no-no but it would be such a cute name for a man
hi gramma, yeah thankfully, my parents didn't actually name me Boreetos. :)
It could be worse...lots of people at school short my first name to Mu, or mumu. Can you hear the masculine?
lol. that's the sound a cow makes. :)
Got company coming in about 5mins. Gotta get some clothes on. I'll be back.
warai, Boreetos-san, do not worry ^^ Give the state of my grammar, I am, I think, in no positioned to tell off others :)
LOL faeerriee!
Forgiven Smaller just dont do it again. (not that I care that much anyway)
warai! It is also Japanese slang for 'nothing'! Odd, though, my name does not even have 'mu' in it o_O
tootey, wasn't that one of the girls on "Facts of Life"?
why dont you give them a surprise Fairie
the few day I have been here, there seem to be naked all over the place...does babble in the naked help concentration?
I hope not Lemoned cos my work collegues wouldnt be to happy
AGH! once again I am befuddled as to why "Hoser" is not a word. Back me up Cybernan. Hoser is such a word.
i was just wondering the same thing boreetos
we should start a petition or something for words that we all agree on. Like "Jedi" and "Hoser".
warai Adsman-san! Tell them the human body is a thing of beautiful :)
just for the record, Hoser is not my first name either. :)
lol boreetos
Could it be Ken or Sean or Seth?
holy crap! this is abig grid today. But seemingly friendlier than yesterdays. Hmm. Got to get back to work, but I'll be back at lunch. :)
hm...I wonder if my name will ever be in the puzzle. warai...with a name like Takumi I am guess no :)
ooohh, all good guesses Haz, but none of those are it. see you guys in a few hours!
Not mine lemoned
afternoon all...back for a little bit while i eat lunch :)
actually Adsman LEMONed is right all are in their own way
hey lemon, my son has a friend named takumi.
konnichiwa (almost komban wa ^^) Evanadine-san!
moshi-moshi! (not quite sure what that means, but i recall learning it somewhere!)
hmmmm not even half why done... dummer
How about some hints ont he 8 letter words?
You aint seen me Doll (hey that sounds like a quote from a movie)
sc 8/45 - form of transport
don't you just love my nickname
sn8/60 - type of shoe
I am missing an 8. I have sc and sn. what's missing?
There is st8/60 as well
st 8/60 s plus past tense of take, add Emergeny Room pluralised
Onyx, he does? If it is Takumi Ayumi then he is me. Possibly. :D
warai, Evanadine-san, very good ^^ Moshi moshi is hello, like when answer the telephone...though literal, in English, it mean "if if!"
astoot should be a word b/c phonetically, it's fine
he's only 12 yrs. old....
Yes, but the British pronounce it differently.
wow thanks all
Aa, perhaps not then ^^
a nice boy though, when they were interrested in yugioo he gave my son a god card, very valued to a boy
Aa, I have to go...thank you! I am make the dinner for a hungry family... (Aa, but before go I, I need to check - is English tea different from Japanese tea, like oolong tea?)
actually, i think i learned that from an episode of Full House -- i have a mental image of little Michelle saying "moshi moshi dude!"
HAZ, ok i didn't understand you post but I think I do now ROFLMAO I initially meant for "astute" but.....well...arstoot makes sense too hahahahaha
Onyx, tell me about it! When I left Kyoto, yu-gi-oh was very popular. I was not into it myself, but...some people were crazy over the manga
warai Evanadine-san! I do not know what you speak of, really, but...the idea of say 'moshi moshi dude' is really funny to me! :D
you THINK id be satisfied with a 408-word puzzle, but NO, i have to keep seeing words that arent there!!
it's full metal alchemist now, i get hooked on all of it. Our favorite has been" spirited away"
Aa...I have will power issues. Will have to scrape myself off my computer chair so the family does not starve :) Thank you all, komban wa ^^
lemoned -- Full House is a tv show that was on in the 80s and early 90s. now get outta here and go cook yourself some dinner. ;)
It's okay, Smaller - I get frustrated when the grid accepts some Ulster-Scots words and not others. Today there is a word 'tothery' which means untidy and bedraggled but it won't accept it and yet we can have 'haen' on other days.
FMA! I still love full metal alchemist ^^ What am I doing?! *mom voice* Takumi, go cook! *hangs head*
Hey everybody! Will there be enough hours in the day to finish this?
i just started, there better be. i don't want to resort to bj's list yet
I imagine I will before it's all over with.
Taking a break.
Back to finish off last few :) and FMA is fab!
Bye haz, hi atalante...
I need one co5/12 following the co 7/32. I have the one for what happens to skin in the sun...
Okay, enlighten me...What is FMA?
Full Metal Alchemist, anime series
its the plural of a water-bird, Angel (if that's the right one!) and FMA is Full Metal Alchemist which is a manga and anime series
eeek! 408 *bites nails* Do I start?? : /
go for it, Anj. Its not that bad
Anj, yes, we've voted for "Sharing Day" on the babble playground today. interesting, how no one has yet to SHARE
Oh, well that explains it. My kids (the TV hogs) watch all those Disney shows- Suite Life of Zach & Cody, That's So Raven, etc. They also love those Full House reruns!
Go for it, anj!!
Hi Smaller, Smith : ) uh, share?
smithchick, i think yoy have to rent it, we got ours from netflix
anj, read the log clues for all the 8s were given
anj, doing the grid in teams
oh right...well, i've got 408 to go so yell if you are stuck on any and I will see if i've got them. Going for the big letters first today : )
clues for ec 7???
Hi everyone! I give. What is the theme today?
Hi Deutsch : ) It's History...and Balze's birthday I think, although I don't think the two are connected, lol : D
Thanks, Anj, I'll see what I can do.
Hi, Deutsch!
Angel, i've just nailed an ec7/40 - ravers drug of choice Nirvana, delerium, happiness?
tyvm, anj
political note, former american presidential candidate'sfirst and last name name is in the grid
name name? i must stutter now apparently
It's it's okay, smaller!
st8/60 anyone? probably a plural of the 7 which i don't have either
Hi smithchick, I had to leave the party to find a better suit.
smaller - s + past tense of take and plural of emergency room initials
deutsch, is that a zebra? don't see any stripes
Cheers Doll : )
thanks doll! i just use that word all the time
Thanks, doll! There's my eights!
smaller, it's an archaeohippis, or ancient dwarf horse. It has stripes on its neck and hand quarters, but they are a little hard to see.
can't take all the credit borrowed it from someone earlier
LOL, that would be hind quarters!
Warai, Deutsch!
Where is LEMONed, by the way?
wow! good research, deutsch!!!
Lemoned was here earlier but had to leave to make dinner for his family.
he was here earlier Smithchick - I think he went to make dinner
Thanks, smaller. I was kind of a dino geek when I was younger.
yay for dino geeks!
TY, Deutsch & Doll...
ok, I"m going for the rest of the p's - 20 orf them. If I'm not heard from, send the Marines.
gotta run, er maybe gallop, for a bit. Laters!
Well, I've got five that your missing, angel. Not much help, I'm afraid...
C'ya Deutsch.
LOL anj -- just read your clue for ec 7 (ravers drug of choice) -- it's such a perfect example of the generation gap -- earlier clue was 'extreme happiness' !
Finished :)
lol Cyber...Occam's Razor of clues for me : )
Cheers! Atalante
*polite round of applause for Atalante* Er, LOTS to go here : /
Dang, atalante! You rock!! Hey, cybernan...
go go Anj *leads some cheerleading*
Well i've got 50 of the 65 Ps as a start : )
Atalante! So it can be done. Well done you!!!
Down below 200 finally... 184 left.
Hi mab!
Yes, it can be done! Sprite did it in about 23 minutes or something LOL (well, maybe not quite ....) And while there are wierd words, there aren't any WIERD words
..w00t! Just found an sn8 : )
Well, that's my lot for the moment, I have to go out soon. I've got 268 which is more than I thought I'd get, whatever possessed me to start in the first place I can't imagine. By the way, my icon is Blenheim Palace, Woodstock
I believe that Sprite could do this in 23 minutes, it's getting those children off to school that slows her down.
Bye, ExWren:)
Hey folks - been playing and lurking off and on all morning. Finally down below 100 words to find!!
laters ExWren : ) 23 mins? Yes I could do that... followed by 5 hours of spellchecking : /
The siren song of Babble, I expect Ex-Wren. Good night to you.
Hi, bugzy... It would probably be more productive to lurk:)
...8s are down : ) wOOt! ...even if I do say so myself, lol.
That's why I told myself I wasn't going to chat until I went under 100, smithchick :)
Anj, my radio says that Clear Lake is a much better band than Arctic Monkeys. The former seems to write lyrics of greater depth, anyway.
Yay Anj... Now you just have the 22 7's and 71(!) 6's to tackle ;)
(actually even Spritey took a bit of time on this one!)
Mab, haven't heard much Clearlake : ) I just don'r ate the Monkeys though. Never been a big fan of Britpop either. Cheers Bugzy : ) ...er, I think... : / LOL!
300 to go... : / I have 11 7s now though : )
Yes, I think that's it - it's pop music, both bands. It's difficult for me to put them in context. I rarely understand what's being reviewed, thus I run it by you, a dyed in the wool music person.
Is it just me, or are there a lot of drug-related words in here???
Anj, I have over 300 words and still only 18 of the 7's :)
Mab, i might be a little biased. I'm open minded but I hate the way the UK music media manipulate the market over here. The Arctic Monkeys are benefiting from the fact that MP3 downloads and the internet have weakened the music industry's control over what we 'should be listening to' and they are now jumping on new trends (or maybe that's trying to create them) in a frantic effort to maintain some sort of influence. For the first time in years, genuine ability is actually winning out over tone deaf talentless ten thumb manufactured noise terrorists. Huzzah! : )
I only have three g*** boxes that don't have two zeroes in them. BLAH!
Bugzy, i've only looked at Ps, Ss and currently Cs so far : )
do you want me to put up a list of the 7s? just ST/44 etc etc
Works for me, atalante:)
That'd be great Atalante... And while we're on the 7's, do you have a clue for an7/32? That's one I know I don't have!
Bugz, girls name plus annoying insect or irritation : )
Thanks anj. That just brought my 7's up to 16!
7s: AN 36, 32 CO 48, 56, 56, 32 EC 40 FO 40 HO 48, 56, 32 OC 32 PE 36 PL 32, 32 SC 32 SN 44 SO 28, 32 ST 44, 44 TO 28
enjoy :P
TY anj, knew what it started with but not the rest :)
Thanks Atalante :D
i protest some of the words that appear here yet are not counted as puzzle words. ie: footen example: i brought peter jackson coffee for three years just to get my FOOTEN the door with his production company. example 2: i searched the world over for some great smoke, the best i found came from NEPAL anyway, just rambling. TSM you still alaive out here?
Hi everyone...sorry to sort of barge in, but can I ask you a question?
Oh and lets not leave this out while I'm at it 408 Words?! Who is the Mutha FOOKA that came up with this puzzle?
lol Capone but I know who the real mutha fooka is! There's a chinky guy who comes on here, HE'S the mutha fooka
Back again for just a few... Capone, Dr. god invented this infernal... ask away, no1
I was jus gonna ask if some loser called Takumi comes on here, coz hes a chinky git and I h8 him
go ahead no1knows. Rage on capone, Babble will not listen, I'm afraid.
et 5/12/ please?
uh, nerds, i just asked my question. does the loser go here or not? His names Takumi and he cant speak english coz hes a chinky retard
oh, no1, I don't think so, but please don't use racial/ethnic slurs. Besides, the name you cite is Japanese, not Chinese.
We like him, no1.
Cyber...try a word for belief , dispositon, character...morality maybe...
Somewhere there is a fifth grade class missing no1...
no1knows-Hi how are you today? You don't seem to speak english very good? What is your problem?
Faerie!!! How are ya?
yeah, I dont actually give a fuck, hes a retard. hes been here 4 lik 5 months and he cant speak english or nothing. neway, wen he comes on tell him were gonna get him at school tomorrow
Just had a blip and lost all the icons -- anyone else?
Yes, Anj, the reviewer did mention the over manipulation of arctic monkeys. Of course, that's been the case with several pop rock bands here for years (the Monkees perhaps being the first).
no1 if u cant talk nice about anyone just leave this site
i can talk nice, just not about freaks lik him! Im going neway, this place is for nerds and losers like him
Just came back.
(creeping up on Smith tip-toe) *pounce* (((((X))))) Hi.
Mine are gone too, cybernan...
called dr_god
no1knows-good bye
Sorry to point this out no1, but your English is pathetically poor. Begone.
Got me again, faerie! I'm gonna have to be more alert! {{{xxx}}}:)
Thanks, Anj
What's up with no1? Is he daft?
Smith - how ya doing girlfriend? Been shopping lately. LOL
Nope, faerie. I'm still on the wagon. That $2.00 in my checking account until payday may be why!
oh my goodness! what was that?!!! Lemon's such a great kid!
Whoever said that ignorance was bliss obviously didn't know that no1 creature...
Smith-this little "no1knows" needs to learn some manners here real fast don't you think?
That was ignorance on display.
He needs to have his clock cleaned, if you want my opinion!
Yes Haz it certainly was.
I really can't stand small-minded people.
I grew up getting my butt spanked and thats exactly what that kid needs.
Here, here faerie...
Thanks for the quick reference 7s list, Haz, very helpful. I hope our boy is not generally treated that way at school.
Any clues for the oc7?
hi all - just jumped on....the only thing I worry about is whether or not they really would try to beat Lemon up...kids can be so cruel.... I won't be on much until later...if anyone sees Lemon online, please forewarn him... Thanks... gotta run! (((HUGS)))
I can claim no glory for the 7's list. That was Alalante's contribution.
Yes, mab. That worries me too.
plural of the oc6/21 above it
Hi and Bye, EB...
oc 7 - plural grade of petrol/gas
I worry too, Eastern; witness how Miya is treated at school.
Thanks, mac and haz:)
yw, smith :)
You're welcome.
mab - I know...I just want to take them under some kind of protective 'wing'... *sigh* Thank s to all for looking out for "our" kids : )
Our Miya and Lemon don't deserve to be treated with disrespect and we babblers will stand togather and kick ass if we have to - Right?
Yay, got the 7's! 91 left to find.
We might have to volunteer Anj and Bobsta to pop over there and sort things out. (said only half jokingly)
Yep!
good idea*
Mab, that's not a good idea in my current state of mind. I've been trying to post but I haven't been able to tone my language down enough until now } ( Pillocks like that deserve to get their ar$e well and truly kicked.
Komban wa! Who is being sort out? Did I miss some gossip? :)
can anyone please give me clues for the pe 4/6 and pe 7/36
I'm with you, anj! You just missed an ignorant moron, LEMONed. What's for dinner?
All schools ought to incorporate a bit of diversity training in the curriculum (sp), as hatefulness goes on here too. What surprises me is the violence that miya suffers in her school. I expect it happens here too. Teachers can't see everything that goes on, and kids are sneaky.
...oh. I am sorry you had to see that...
Lemon-Hi - are you having problems in school?
pe 4/6 short for chest muscles
pe 4/6 shotr for chest muscle
ty haz1558 and gramma evening lemon
Pe7- start with same three as pe4/6 + one of the five senses (involving buds) minus the last consonant.
Evening Lemon : )
Faeriekae-san, a few boys in my year seem to think my skin is the wrong colour *rolls eyes* oh, and the way I speak is also funny to them.
ty smithchick
Hi Anj :D
komban wa, Ruthy-san, Anj-san :)
Oh, dear Lemon, ignore kids that treat you unkindly. I'm afraid most of us suffered the same at one time. Meanness shouldn't go on in schools, but here in the west it most certainly does.
Lemon-I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like help?
YW, ruthy. What does komban wa mean, LEMONed?
Hi Faerie : ) Sorry I didn't say so earlier. I was seeing red mist : /
Do not worry, Faeriekae...a lot of the time they are, I think you say 'all talk' :)
Wow, I go to talk to a friend for a moment and we get invaded by an ignorant fool! I hate bullies :/
Smithchick, komban wa is, I think, similar to your 'good evening' :)
Gotcha Anj. *_*
You're a smart kid, Lemon. And hi : )
Oh, okay. What is good afternoon? It's only 2:00p.m. here.
Lemon-Just keep your head held high and walk on by:)
Hm...I am sorry he came on here, though. Thank you for stick up for me! Sorry about him disrupt the log :/
Hey babbler!
warai, thank you Babbler-san! :)
Babbler (((((x))))) Hi. I've not seen you in soooo long. All better now?
Hi Lemon and Babbler and anyone else I might have missed :D
Wonder if Dr. God can make people fill out a personality test before they are allowed on here to weed out moronic imbeciles... Of course, then I might have to worry:)
((((Faerikae))) lol! yes thanks..... but I balked at the size of today's grid so I'm not playing. Just popped in to say hello. : )
Lemon-It is alright. Don't worry on little bit.
Hi Babbler. The difficult thing is that one can't force others to not be racist. ...as much as one would like to try.
Good evening, Bugzy-san :) thank you, Faeriekae! :)
Mercy, I wish I hadn't started this one because I won't be able to finish it. I'll just give it all I've got and take all the clues I can get.
warai, Smithchick! I am sure you would pass...I think you say 'with fly colours?'
Well, what I'm trying to do is make sure my kids aren't like that. My hubby's family is somewhat prejudiced (never to the extent that they are violent, but using slurs). When we first got married, I made sure that they weren't to talk like that in front of my children because I found it offensive. They've been good to keep it to themselves around us, thankfully. It amazes me that otherwise good and kind people can have such narrow viewpoints.
Lemon - we get idiots like that on the log from time to time. Either we intimidate them enough that they leave, or we can ask Dr God (Babble's creator) to kick them off. Either way, they don't stay too long!
Flying colors! My kids might not agree with you, LEMONed. They think I'm odd. I can't imagine why!
Hi Babbler : ) I'm STILL annoyed lol! That no1 kid needs to be given a sheet of kanji, put at the front of the classroom and get told to read it out. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes...
I hear you smithchick. My husband's family is the same way... drives me up a wall. They've gotten better over the years, but I still have to explain to my kids that Papa's views aren't ones we share... :/
Hi Anj : ) I'm mad too.... } /
Deep breaths, anj. What that kid no1 needs is to be cornered in a dark alley by other kids who he deems "acceptable" and be tuned up a little. (sorry Dr. Martin Luther King, sometimes violence works).
Wow, I'm mean, huh?
Smith-you go girl....I agree
evening all : )
Yay, I got another g*** box! Of course, it was the e, but still!
...'tuned up a little' LOL. I like that - Cheers Smith : ) Babs, down girl : )
Hi Sha :)
thank you all so much for your support...arigato, I appreciate it :)
Hello sha...
*scratches head at Anj's post* que? what'd I do? : /
Hi Lemon!!! You are GREAT!!!!
lol Babs...you were annoyed like me : ) I'm doing the deep breaths thing so though I would share : )
Hi Smaller how many words do you have???
Evening all just popped in for a few minutes Ogenki desu ka ? LEMONed?
Well LEMONed, I asked my father how to say you're welcome in Japanese, but I couldn't spell it!
Hello Caitlyn :)
oh! lol! : ) I only popped in to see who was here and was astonished to see what was happening. *deep breaths* Good idea.
oh a whopping 155, faeerriiikaaaee but don't be jealous! only once a century is someone blessed with these kind of babble skills
Hey, caitlyn!
Caitlyn Hello
Hi Caitlyn!
Hai, genki desu, arigato :) to anata?
LOL, smaller!
Smaller - lol - you are doing better than me. I've a whopping 149 - zooooooooom watch me go. lol I had most of the afternoon.
LEMONed dont push it !!! HI everyone else What a grid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't type. I had company most of the afternoon is what I meant to say. duh
Hi Caitlyn : )
hi caitlyn
warai Smithchick! Do itashima$hite
Refreash!
Yep, that's what he said, LEMONed!
refresh without an a this time. it is so hard to type with one hand
LOL faeirririeeiirk
Good Afternoon All: Sorry my icon is not up to date but concentrating on the words.... Can someone give me the second pa6/21 Thank you!!
I did see Rasputin here somewhere earlier so I just though Catherine should also be here. It's only natural.
Lemon, you are always welcome here, and more than welcome to share problems. We often do that, share our woes.
Smithchick, it is a night mare to spell! A scary word to pronounce is senkyuuhyakuhachijuusannen...t ry saying that with a mouth ful of ramen :/
Speedfreak, it's an anagram of the one before it.The consonant is in the middle instead of at the end.
Warai!!! What does it mean, LEMONed?
LOL LEMONed
My 8yr. old loves ramen. She'd eat it three times a day if I'd let her.
warai LEMONed : ' ) We say 'mouthful of cake' : D
Thank you so much, Mab :) *hops on to couch* is this the time to tell you about my tragic broken home? :)
DONE...anyone need a clue??
Lemon - LOL - you are too much :D
Smithchick, it is kind of random...it is actually a date, it is how you say "a summer morning in 1983". My mom said it earlyer, that is why!
Ouw - Congrats *%*%*%*%*%*
warai, Smithchick, if that is a compliment then thank you :D
aaand now I am typing the wrong names :/ I meant Faeriekae-san! ^^;
Way to go, ouawichita! You lurker, you!!!
congrats, Ouwa! (and respect!) ; D
yay Ouw !
LEMONed, her name is difficult for me too
Lemon-I thought you were talking to me and yes it is a compliment...
So LEMONed, when did you first start noticing these troubling visions?
....so spell it creatively. let the vowels speak to you and let them express themselves how they would like.
*more polite applause for Ouwa* 251 to go here, but the last 30 mins has been given over to gnashing of teeth : )
Lemon-Smaller never gets my name right. Just pay attention and watch her....she will be renaming you.
Lemon-my friends here at home just call me Kae.
Finally got all 22 7's here :) However, have 19 6's to go... :/
...and those pesky letters change their mind a lot. It's not my fault
Well, drat. I must go pick up the little people that I gave birth to. Be back in an hour or two to finish my last 82.
Smith-see ya later :)
Bye smith :)
bye smithchick!!
Smallller-keep it up :D
later Smith : )
I'm going to leave you in peace as well now. Best of luck everybody!!! And see you tomorrow. : D
Babbler have a great evening and glad you joined us.
Bye Babs :) -Love the shoe, BTW
bye Babs : )
bye babbler!!!
I have got to go go now 6 words waiting for later!! LEMONed How do you say good bye for now ? Happy babbling all LOL x
bye caitlyn!!!
Caitlyn - see you later. I'll be here for a while longer.
Bye caitlyn :)
it's soooo quiet. i might have to actually work on the grid thingy
BANG! There, is that better? : )
i'd give it an 86 but i can't dance to it
Why oh why must I punish myself by starting these long grids.....Maybe it's because of you guys.....nah :)
holy toledo, are there really 400 words? i'm afraid to type for fear of violating a word in the log.
Hey 'nut : ) They aren't toooooo bad to find : /
Evan-dive in dear its not so bad just ask Smaller....
LOL evanonut and faerikaeeeaeerr
sorry - first i got work to do, then i got work to do - then i'll go back to work - gah
yay! P's are done :D
...that said, I am not liking the Ks : /
I'm ready to quit on this grid. I still need 13 p's.
Smaller - did you hear I too started the belldance lessons. Last night. Hard to do right now with my shoulder messed up but we worked our hips more than anything else. What a work out....MusicMom is also doing it.
sorry anj, it just occurred to me that i just made an obsure old american tv show reference. oops americans are sooo self-centered.
Angel - no, no, no just get as many as possible then ask Anj for clues...
Amen on the K's anj ! Angel - if you need any clues, just ask. I am immersing myself in the S's now....
need: all but the last two pa4/5s
Faeerriikaakkaaaa, that's wonderful! i bet it's fun!! despite the shoulder injury, do you think it's difficult? hard to learn?
pa** of glass in window then plural
Smaller-sooooo much fun and really easy. Its a beginners lesson. Ordered a DVD and a friend of mine and I are going to learn togather. We laughed until we just about wet ourselves at first.
pa4/5's : Glass in a window things you cook in Change consonant in window glass Bald head Taps Also there's a pa4/6 at the beginning, Buddy + consonant
200 to go : /
You're more than halfway there, Anj!! Go Anj Go! (I used to be a cheerleader, can you tell?) :D
go Anj, go Anj, go Anj I got all the "ot's" no clues....but no op's
they offer bellydance classes at my gym - I love to watch the brave women who have the guts to humiliate themselves in front of us non-brave women...
Faerie - most op's have to do with a word meaning "ajar" in some way. Also a milky gemstone. Hi Lupe :)
pe7, pl7?
they also offer hip-hop dance aerobics - now THAT'S a hoot!! There are there two very mature caucasian women who take the class - again, this is a hip-hop aerobics class.
Forgive my manners - Hi everyone - hi Bugzy!
Lupe-I couldn't do this in public, noway, but it is a blast. You should try it at least once. You will become addicted....Kind of like babble......Your just finding new movements for your hips and arms. Very good exercise.
Ok, 99 to go...I give in...must go find Jack's list...
Bugzy - TY :)
what's the name of the DVD - can't hurt right??? work those unreachable muscles (in my case they are all lost).
Angle pe is a plant enzyme :) starts with a chest muscle, plus a small thankyou, a curly consonant then a vowel : )
Pe7 - Chest muscle (singular) + suffix for enzyme Pl7 - part of a typewriter, plural ( or what you eat dinner off of + a consonent, plural)
Angle? : / sorry... the pl7s are things that orbit the sun like earth, or swap the 3rd and 4th consonants over in that one for the other : )
Ah yes.. 2 pl7's, anagrams of each other... hard to find in all those words :/
Does anyone have the 2nd sk6/30? (after the tobacco brand)
Lupe - sorry the DVD is Bellydancing Magical Motion for beginners.
thx!
faer, don't sound like no belly dancing title to me
Evan-it doesn't look like it either lol
plural of sk5
*trots in on ancient hooves* Hi everyone, back from the grocery store, and I see I'm way behind. Still have 230 to find.
n e clues for the last so-6-21,7-32 and 2 so-5-10 please
found the dvd - $20 on Amazon --
Wow...just nailed all the Hs : )
Une, do you mean the sk6 that Sasha Cohen wears? I need the other sk6 :)
Lupe - go for it. That's where I got mine.
Hey Deutsch ! Go Anj Go !
the other sk6 is the plural of the sk5 just above it
sounds sorta like a packet of yarn
I will definitely think about it....
Ohhh.. i see it now. I had the wrong sk5/18.... Thanks Une :)
sha - that last so6/21, add a vowel to the so5/12 to make a verb meaning to calm. so7/32 is one who does this.
yw :-)
Zero words left to find... that would make me DONE!
Yay Macuser!
wow, congrats, macuser!
Yea! Macuser
HI all, I just got an email from LEMONed. Could someone post this on Bab Anon, please? LEMONed writes: "hi! sorry to be emailing you like this, but Babble seem to have disable my use of the chat log! I am assume it is connecting me with the...*incident* on babble earlier this evening! I was wonder if you would please explain to everyone my silence, and that I am not ignore them! Arigato ^^;"

Thank you everyone! I feel like I just finished a marathon
Yay macuser :)
Macuser - Congrats
Smaller - Noway..........
what was the incident?
Cheers smaller. Didn't Jera have the same trouble the other day? It's a browser issue I think. Yay Macuser : )
Smaller - what are you going to do now?
Couldn't Lemon/ or someone else email Dr God and see if it is an intentional disable or just a technical problem?
hi sha have u got all the s words now
Bugzy-I'm not sure but you would think he could email Dr.G and find out. Hopefully it is just his computer.
Well, folks, must go fetch the kids. I'll try to get back on later to finish my last 20... Happy Babbling :)
bye bugzy!
Laters Bugz : )
Bugzy- later :)
Bugzy, excellent suggestion, i asked Dr._G about it. will await response ugh poor lemoned, my heart just aches for him
Need to take a bit of a break to tend to laundry... anyone need any clues before I go?

Sorry about the trotters, trotters, buy yey for you!
Hi Trotters, Congrats :)

Yay Trotters : ) Deutsch, be nice now : )
Bye Deutsch, enjoy the wine..
Deutsch, only one bottle??? I'm about to start my second. lol
Hiya, can I get a clue for the ec 7/40, please?
Anj, the brits are very quiet tonight aren't they? Must be all those words to find!
We do call it soccer. When I was married, we went to many a match in the Washington DC area. I enjoyed it, although admittedly part of that was the gorgeousness of some of the players and the wondrous way they move their bodies. Those were big matches between nations. It was also good to see foriegn nationals playing on the mall on weekends.
looking for a clue on the second pa 6/21
Chic, ravers drug of choice. Makes you feel good, at least until your body hits plus 40' ... : )
Chic, it's a drug or just being very very happy
Doll, bald head plus a consonant. Sounds like a make of tank named after a general : )
'The Agony and the Ec7'
mab, positively artistic almost like watching ballerinas!!! but I only look at the footwork, never the thighs (sigh!!).
hi peanut! 7 and 8!!!!!!! no fair!
wonder what we should watch tonight...

Right. If you go to the thighs, you must fan yourself vigorously.
thanx, anj, trotters, mab, I was leaving out a letter. It's almost naptime....:-)

LEMONed Update. Pass along the info Dr. God writes: I had to bad the troll this morning, but lemon should be fine. He just may not be able to post to the chat log if he's logging on from the same place the troll was.
There you go Anj, it was good for someone anyway
i'm confused, what is the troll?

Hi Smithchick
tut tut
Hey, Schroeder...:)
Hey Smith : ) 70 to go here...
WooHoo, Anj! Did you get your blood pressure back down yet?
Well, I'm breaking out bj's list. Can't stand it anymore!
I just typed in a 7 letter word and got the message that I've already used the word, but I haven't. It's not in my list. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Smith i'm cool now. I think the paternal part of me was on the warpath over parental responsibilities. I would be mortified if a kid of mine was like that... : /
mermaid, make with the f5 key : )
You and me both. Mine would definitely be hating life if I ever found out they acted like that.
thanks Anj, that did it... smithchick, do you go to Smith or listen to the Smiths?
wow! i feel so off after those horrible people were here. just can't shake it. lemon is such a sweetie. and he's trying so hard
Any help with the AN 6/18?
Nope, anj. I married a Smith. Although I do like the Smith's.
Oops, sorry, I meant mermaid!
an 6 is a pine tree that is a common babble word
Hi Smaller, went back in the log to see what happened, pretty vicious things said earlier about him...
Hi all!!! Big puzzle today. Need help w/re6/30. Not the one that retakes....

Thanx Anj!!!! I've looked and looked for that word and it's right there.....You're a doll.
And thanx pinecone and schroeder.
Hey evanonut, back around 1:20...

Tink, yes. i'm having some hot cocoa, life is a little better. wish we could make some for lemon. AND also lynch some malcontents. chocolate and lynching. perfect evening
Chic - Calvin & Hobbes like Hamster H6/27 and the Gooey Kablooey ; )
okay, i see - that's awful, we were never like that at my school.
hi all... just wanted to drop back in to see if Lemon was around...glad to know he's o.k. & that he's aware that the 'jerks' in his school are just that... It really does bring tears to my eyes that kids are so cruel, but tears also for the way we all want to protect 'our' kids... (I was reading back through the log to see what transpired). I don't know if I dare venture this grid...it's a doozie!! (and Lemon - if you can see this - we're here for you if you need us!! ) (((HUG)))
Had to go feed the troops and I still have 75 words left to find!!.. I sure hope Lemon comes back on I work at a school and kids are sooo nasty
Heh a kid just started riding one of those sc 7/32 thingies right outside my window! It inspired me . . . Good thing too as I only have like 10 min to play today!
smaller - thanks for the Lemon updates!! (hug)
well spoken eastern blue.
however, i do now see a fair bit of violence exists in the world, my job sees to that. the good bit is that a good deal eventually grow, mature, and are remorseful
re6 ? not to possess again; but, the other re6. Can any1 help me please?
Anj, that clue was too obscure for me; didn't get it...
evanonut, your job?

Chic...sounds like H....Lewis & The News ? : )
investigator

Thanx, gramma and anj, I thought I tried that... I need to lay down.. back is screamin' Later....

no morellis - or rangers - * sigh * - not really exciting either.
NOOOOO.don't go. I need help! Please 8)
Bye chic! Definitely a Morelli that I'd be wanting!
bye chic... I think I'm headin' out too (not that I've even started the grid)... Congrats to those who have finished...good luck to those still in process!! (((HUGS)))
Bye Chic Hot Cocoa sounds good Smaller, I just got a delivery of Girl Scout Cookies anyone want some?
bounty hunter would be exciting, maybe i should switch fields
Bye, EB. I've got 11 boxes of GS cookies. I'll share, too.
Easternblue, help please...
HI, everyone, HI, Schroeder, I would love some Girl Scout cookies. I got a box of Godiva, dark chocolate candies for my birthday. Anyone want some?
Gramma, have you got re6/30 meaning to lounge in the hot tub again??
Ranger or Morelli, both good, I like 'em bad.... gramma, anj gave a clue for the ec 7 about an hour ago...
*opens thin mints and Samoas* please take all you want...
ranger ranger ranger
Ty anj. I was starting to feel like I didn't exist.
helping decorate a house for a marriage proposal, any suggestions?
That would be a good job for me evanout; I'm hyper-aware. To say the least.
Guess I will have to eat all of the Godiva chocolates myself 8)
chic, would you mind telling me what that clue was?
How romantic evanonut......
I'll take a piece Peri, thank you :)
isn't it though, we have to make the house look good, cause it's still being fixed up
*forms orderly queue beside Peri* : ) Gramma, ec7 is the ravers drug of choice...goes with agony...and frequently causes it too : /
I'm at my last t word and I'm stuck...to 6/21
TY Anj ^_^
t + ot5/12
Hey, peri... I'm trying to catch up. Do those chocolates have any raspberry? I've got trefoils and tagalongs!!
Whew, chic... a lover of bad boys, huh?
Maybe you need to hook up with anj! He's a rebel, huh anj?
i'm lover of a good boy who thinks he's a bad boy
smithchick, I think one of them has raspberry in it, would you like to try it?
thank you Uneaixoise
Most definitely, peri! TY!
Last post - Gramma - sorry!! I'd be no help...I have 408 words to FIND!! Peri - ummmm....Godiva! Girl Scout cookies...gotta luv 'em!! and can I say I'm happy they changed the names back to the 'originals' (or at least what they were when I was a 'scout).... evanonut - buy tulle - sometimes you can get it cheap...and ribbons...you can wrap the bannister (if you have one) or a focal point doorway...
yw :-)
I am willing to share, *passes box of Godiva chocolates to smithchick*
thanks eb, no bannister but tulle sounds good
Lol EasternBlue, have a good evening :)
May I offer you a trefoil, peri? The chocolate was marvelous! I'm in agreement with the good boy who thinks he's a bad boy. Unless he's dorky about it.
I saw on the news recently that dark chocolate is definitely better for your health 8)
Bye, EB.
All chocolate is good for the health. Except that carob stuff. Eww
"I was born under a bad sign, Left out in the cold, I'm a lonely man who knows Just what it means To lose control..."
smithchick, what is a trefoil. I really like the chocolate mints. Do you have any of those. Of course I have not had dinner but have had a bunch of potato chips and a drink make of coca cola and vodka!
That's my reasoning behind eating more of it Peri...and a some red wine for my health also...
A trefoil is the shortbread Girl Scout cookie. My personal favorite. Especially dipped in milk. Yum!
I'll see if the kids left any Thin Mints.... You're in luck! Here you go...:)
hubby keeps calling to tell me it might be 15 more minutes...just when I think I have to leave... trefoils are the shortbread cookies samoas are the caramel/coconut covered in chocolate tagalongs are the choc. covered peanutbutter ones...
Anj - what song is that??? and who sings it??
mmmm girl scout cookies. peri.. that's a GREAT dinner!!!! if some chocolate were added. gotta have ALL the important food groups
samoas are my favorite!
Smaller I have a fresh box of Samoas here with your name on them :)
Hi All -back from my meeting. Prepared 18 lots of notes & endlass photocopies. Think I must have put my printout of todays grid in one lot 'cos its not here! - That'll make interesing reading for someone! Read back in the log re LEMONed & agree with all the comments made since. I would be so ashamed if I thought one of my children even thought like that never mind acted on those thoughts.
Hi, snowy...
smaller - those are my favs too... chocolate & caramel...& coconut...& my hubby doesn't like coconut so when we order them, I get them! : )
hi snowy!! how is your mother-in-law??
smaller, I am having several pieces of the Godiva chocolates for dessert!!!
Hi Snowy!! Tink - may i have them now! I promise to give half to EB
smithchick, thanks for the thin mint cookies, deelish.

Okay Smaller, but you must share...EasternBlue get ready...
Hi EB -she's doing really well thankyou -out of intensive care & into a high dependency ward now. Mal says she's looking great but she says she feel s awful today. The surgeon says thats to be expected and they are very pleased with her progress. So I get to go to Bath this weekend.

*decides it is better to open the box and dole out* 1 pack for Smaller, 1 pack to EasternBlue
Snowy, What's in Bath? Visiting family?

Hey, Anj, if you are going to accidentally post a word would you please post one that I don't already have 8)
oh anj, s'ok. i've done it 3 times today. It's a HUGE grid.

Thanks, Haz -- it's really a word?!
Yay! Schro... don't know any songs in 408 time, although Dave Brubeck has probably written one...or two : )
is today only thursday for me??????
an6/18 - foreign sounding word. Shortened woman's name, double beverage, vowel ending
an6/18 a girls name +2 crosses + a vowel
Cybernan - if the grid takes it, it's a word apparently! Strange one, though.
Hi Renfield!!!
Hi Ren... only 10 mins of Thursday left here : )

Thanks again, haz -- don't know why I never seem to see that one. I have 57 words to go and at this rate, it will take me all 5 hours to find them!
Berry, 408

You're further on than me, Cybernan! I have 326 words. I think I'll call it a day soon - the eyes are starting to droop.
smaller Its winston churchill I forgot to change my icon. I am down to the last 15 words this sure is a big grid.

wow! rosalind! congrats!!!!
congrats rosalind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
could i trouble someone for a lil help with the fo7/40?? just not finding it!
First pa5/12?
suthundish -- what the english would call soccer players
It's a plural of the fo6 before it. Like the bottom margin of a paper.
Plural of fo6, sut. The writing at the bottom of a page.
plural 6/27
fo 7/40: plural of the fo6 before it (extension of thing at the bottom of your leg)
ok finishing up can someone give me a clue fo the an6/18 that will finish the a's for me
thanks all! i needed that one too
pa5/12 It's like a praise in song.Lots of vowels sandwiched in between two consonants.
thanks cyber....had been staring at screen too long!! :)
an 6/18 -- lipstick tree
and thanks all ...time for break i guess :)
Bye, suth!
smithchick, that word breaks so many very good word rules
Well, does anyone need any clues from me before I get off here?
It's crazy is what it is, smaller! Next time you email LEMONed tell him to keep up the positive attitude, by the way!
Thanks, smithchick -- the second pa 6/21?
Could you please tell me how many words in the puzzle today? Thanks
Smith, plus 6 hours on the log : /
Throw the end consonant into the middle of the letters of the first pa6/21.
smithchick. i will tell him. and i'll also ask if i can post his address so that others can email him. i only have 200 left so .....you could stay around and forego your life.
408 gems, xena
LOL, smaller. I'll keep checking in. Got to do that USA Crossword puzzle yet. Anj, you lost me?
smithchick, you're an ANIMAL
Oh my. I'm only half way there. Thanks
yw xena, me too!
I know, I know... I'm a puma
ok which one of you animals took my legal pad?
ren, the puma did it
Did not...
someone has it - it's got my $138,000 on it
ren, pumas steal and pumas lie
legal pad? legal pad? What legal pad? I know nothing of any legal pad. What, I'm your legal pad watcher? Am I my sister's legal pad keeper? legal pad? who would want your legal pad? Ok. How took the legal pad? Legaal pad anyone?
smaller - they run real fast as well.....is it because of the puma shoes on the puma feet?
me dost thinkeththatest mab protesteth too mucheth
ok mab...only the guilty sing so loud.....8)
WARAI!!! Well, there was that one legal pad incident back in '95...
mab, we should play poker some time
And pumas finish the puzzle!
I heard Yoink call Smaller 'evil,' once. I'd pat her down for your legal pad.
was a shredder involved w/ that legal pad?
pumas can kiss my.....unfinished grid
ROFL!!!
Ren, i heard Mab say that she thought you were fat
what actually happened in 95?
See? she is evil.
TeeHee. Smaller is -like-so two-faced...
LOL smaller...i heard that when i turn sideways and stick out my tongue people think i'm a zipper.....
Ren, and mab's a puma too. steal then lie. steal then lie. I'm your ONLY friend.
Smith, you asked me what time it was over here : )
It is not to be spoken of ever again, ren. The records are sealed and everything. Hubby wants to know what I'm laughing at. How to explain?
Smith, I'm like totally sooo not
ok - so smaller has the legal pad and the shredder....so what happened to 1995?
sk 5/12? -- have footwear and Danish toast
Smithie ---- j'accuse!!!
my lips are sealed smith.....until someone else mentions 1995
sk5/12 It's a card game... HeeHee... residual laughter...
What mab? What??? Pumas don't speak french!
anj...i think smith has forgotten what year it is....she's back in 1995
Are too, smaller...I don't recall any of 1995. Or was that 1895?
j'accuse mab et smithie ET CYBERNAN. b/c cybernan is stealthily trying to use asking for a clue as a diversion
Anj, why are you not sleeping the deep slumber of the bad boy?
bad boy bad boy...
Anj! j'accuse!
...'cos i'm a good boy : )
smithchick is a VAMPIRE puma b/c she remembers stuff from 1895
whatcha gunna dooooo
when they come for you
what cha gonna do when they come for you
Actually have you considered that you all might belong in a padded cell about now?
Oh, right, that's why :) (Wink, wink) Um, sure...
(oh she's cool. too cool) Cybernan! j'accuse!!!
yep, cybernan did it. mab saw her do it. mab told me
Cybernan, I have considered that at length! We vampire pumas are a very deep-thinking lot...
gosh nan...isn't this a padded cell????
...with the white anorak that does up at the back 8 D
may i please have a little pink piping on mine????
and glitter too please
LOL, anj...Actually, it's bedlam around here!
Pink and glittery are always good. Got to have the bling, even on the strait jacket...
today, I think it is -- I'm certainly slowly going crazy!
...isn't Bedlam in London? Although they might have renamed in Parliament Square since then : D
smithchick, your group is the sagest of all the pumas
Don't be silly Anj; how would we type in a straight anorak? (he seems to know quite a bit about it - definitely a suspect)
LOL smithie!! can't frontin', gotta show props
no clue what i just said
We are soooo sage. I agree with that assessment, smaller, Definitely. For sure. Like totally.
That makes two of us, smaller. Go back to the hizzie and think it over.
i was distracted.....
...that holds true most of the thyme : )
Smithchick, I'm all, like, I so know what you mean
Why, ren. What could possibly be more distracting than us?
back on track....anj has his hands tied behind his back, smith is a puma, smaller......ok mab is speaking french, and smaller.... ok and nan is trying to type.... got it
All 408 words are done!!!! I am going right into the padded cell!!! See you tomorow
I protest, skor certainly is valid -- it's one of my favourite chocolate bars.
a cute guy came into my office...
speed...this is the padded cell
wooohooo for speakfreak. (note how quick she's leaving. i'm thinking she's our culprit) PUMAS ATTACK
I think this is a clever ploy promulgated by REN herself, to cleverly get out of working. Just a suggestion....
Not getting the sk 5/18 card game -- also need the 2nd 6/30 and the 4/9
Oh, well in that case. Be distracted away. That smaller is hard to peg, isn't she. Congrats Speed!!!!!!!!!
ok wonderful smart people....HELP! missing one of the ko4/8's! pwease help me find it :)
Yay Speed : )
oh good one, Mab! ding ding ding. i think we have a winner and I think she's right
ko 4/8 -- do you have the one that is the campground plural?
Cybernan, think of a type of singing, too. Actually, add a plural letter to your very first sk4/8
lol mab.....i am so tired i want to go to sleep at my desk...
suggestions for filler: perfect. hmmm that should do it
yep...got that one cyber
Ok - one of the ko 4's is the aussie bear missing a vowel and the other is a homonym for the centre of an apple.
I'm going cross-eyed, so I must give in now. I've managed 368 words, but I'm loosing the will to live. Just 40 words short, but there is no way that I can complete in the time that I have left. Sorry folks!
as entertaining and finger-pointing as you all are, i have to go now! happy babbling!
filler - as in filler notebook paper????by the way ehere is that legal pad??????
smaller you are too quick to point the finger ----trying to throw the trail off of you!!!! LOL
The second sk6/30 is the plural of the sk5/18 before it. The sk4/9...Hop, sk** and jump. Change the vowel.
...how about actor Yaphet K... missing a t ?
Please............ sk 6/30 sk 4/9 sk 5/18 (last one)
later smaller - i'm going to wrap up this project puppy tonight!!!!!
...leave airholes Ren : )
Well, it's been real and it's been fun, smaller, but it hasn't been real fun! Hang in there ExWren, we'll help you!
have the paradox and its plural, the campground plural, the soda and its plural, the one sorta sounds like a beer brand, and the oriental musical instrument and its plural. What ko4/8 am i missing?
lol anj!!!!!!!!!! i have scissors.....
That helped, thanks -- found out I'm missing the 2nd sk 5/18 - btw - don't know the actor.
Cybernan, the last sk5/18 is a nasty tobacco product which leaves rings in the pocket of people who indulge in it. Bleck...
Cyber, sk6/30 is then plural of the 2nd sk5/18 The last sk5/18 is a ciggie I think. Used to sponsor racing bikes...Sk... Bandit Team : )
Goodnight all - too tired to continue and have to do full english breakfast for my son in the morning when he returns from camp to pick up the children. Still got 166 to find -I'll have to look in my dreams! LOL
Thanks for the offer smithchick, but it's 01.19am, and I am for beddie-byes.
The second to last sk5/18 is like a sk*** of yarn, only with a different second vowel.
Sheesh, I guess so, ExWren. Happy sleeping! Beware of vampire pumas!
Night Snowy!
'nite Snowy : ) Cyber, the sk4/9 is a cross between a skip and a step : )
Well done, I say, Ex-Wren. Good night. What legal pad?
...eeek! Another word : / *Beats himself mercilessly with Fish of Punishment*
mab.......
Thank you all -- finished with the sk's
anj...... what does that whipping post fishie look like
Why must you continually punish yourself, anj? Why? You yourself said that you were a good boy.
Right...it's 420 minutes 'til I have to get up, i've got a full cip of coffee, half a pack of mini-eggs, it's dark and i'm wearing out... Quittin' time methinks...
Can anyone help with the 2nd and 3rd to last ko 4/8's?
ok anj...thought you were going to say you were wearing shades......sleep well
Ren, it's the business end of a squid... : /
Anj-It's 420 here too :)
anj.......euuuuuuwwwwwwwww - kind of sticky....

Looks like I need rotator cuff surgery. It hurts but I can think of so many other things that would be worse that I'm not even going to whine.
Woo Hoo!!! I have 205 words. Half way done. I know I will not find all of the words but will play for a little while longer.
Ouch, faerie. How did you injure it?
has somebody got a clue 4 an 6/24 an 7/36 and 7/32 plz
Billie-president Bill Clinton had a vice president and his name was al*** then for the al 6/24 make it plural.
Ouch, faerie, that sounds like it hurts :/ Yay for Peri - with this puzzle, we have to celebrate every little victory :)
Smith-fell-stupid accident.....
can't see it too well, but my icon is re: the Halifax Explosion in NS, Canada!
Peri-you keep going, we are all with you or behind you or somewhere or most of us wouldn't be here beating our brains out over 408 words.
Billie-did you figure it out yet?
Way too many co and ho words.
Billie an6- You can either have a digital signal or this kind. Female name + chunk of wood for the fire. Plural that The an7/32 is the same first three letters plus a nuisance.
I'll never get all the co's eeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iii
Me neither faeriekae or the ho's either, oh well, remember it is just a game, it is just a game ......
244 words now...SOOOO TIRED... must give up soon. been at this too many nights too late.
Did anyone else notice that both words of a cheesy wedding song/dance are in here? "That's what it's all about!!" :D
becoming babble-blind
Bugzy, No I hadn't thanks, found them both
bugsy, i didn't notice...if it's part of the puzzle...may i have a clue pls?
okay, i'm back and formulating a game plan
Well, hubby and kids are feeling neglected so I guess I'm outta here. Bye all!!! {{{Faerie}}} Thanks for the choc. earlier, peri:)
Smith have a nice night (((x)))
Cathyar - it's the ho5/24 po5/24 ... "you put your right foot in, you put your right foot out..." Done at weddings, etc.
Evening all Made a pretty good dent in this huge grid, wondering if I can bug someone for a few clues, need the co 6/27 and the co 7/56 pretty please
408 is so unacceptable....it's 1.54 in the morning...for left of the pond people.think I'll watch and clue..... :)
Bye smith :)
Icon is actress sarah Berhardt who had her leg amputated this fine date in 1915
Hi all. TBear, I'm here too for the UK. Had a busy day so still got 55 words left to find.
sheryl - co6/27 is plural of the co5/16 before it. co7/56 is plural of the co6/39 Do you have the singulars, or do you need clues?
jacs......you too and why...it's so late
Bugzy, I could use some clues please
bugz got them ty
TBear - sheer stubbornness, that's why. LOL.
Well giving up with 41 words left, daughter needs the computer for homework, imagine, kicking me off babble for homework. Pretty pleased with down to 41 though, good luck everyone that sticks it out. See you tomorrow
(I'm Taurean. We're known for being stubborn! The Bard's birthday was the day after my birthday. Not same year though! LOL. Interestingly, he died on his birthday. Hope I don't!!:-(()
please clues for co5/16,co6/39,co7/56,co6/27
co 6/39 is a misspelling of things like Oreos, Nutter Butters, snickerdoodles, etc. co5/16 is the same word minus the high-scoring consonant in the middle
Jacs....gunna cast a spell and let you off the hook...sleep dear woman sleep....I'm about to disappear with two caramel bars and a BIG glass of water ( Who needs the weekend!!!!lol)
WTG sheryl - on this grid, it's an accomplishment to get halfway!! See you later
Ok, I give. I have to go walk my dog "Max" he needs the exercise and Ijust want it. My butt is going to be as wide as this chair if I don't get up. Good night (((x)))
'nite faerie (and Max too - Max was my first dog's name) :)
goodnight faeriekae.....enjoy the exercise
TBear - Don't you dare cast any sleepy spells! I've had 3 early nights on the trot.
I do not like these k's. Am finding most of them by monkey typing.
Ok Jacs...not on you...but G*********it...it worked on me.....nity nite all.....
See ya tbear :)
Bugzy.....:)
'Night, 'Night, TBear. Sweet dreams.
now I can leave....someone said goodbye.....lol
NIGHT NIGHT Shakespeares girl
Looks like I'm going to have to change my name to Annie Hathaway. LOL.
Okay. Got the k's. Onto the oc's. *Holds nose and dives in feet first.*
Wahoo! All 408 found!! I think that's the biggest one I've ever finished :D
Way to go Bugzy!!!
*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR BUGZY*~*~*~*~
*bows* :D
quitting at 252, getting tired and retyping words I already have :D
See ya peri :)
'Bye, Peri.
Well, the oc's weren't too hard. Now for the ok's...
Holler if you need clues... I'll stick around for a few (til I have to put the kiddo to bed.)
Thanks, Bugzy. Will do.
Honestly, my two cats! One saw a cat outside the window and screamed like a panther, causing the other cat to go see what was up. They then began fighting each other. I got a cup of water to dump on them, as they would not stop. Fortunately, I did not have to use my cup of water. Silly cats.
They sound like my 2 dogs mab - they do the same thing if they see another dog, squirrel, bunny, whatever :)
It's so ridiculous. As if they hadn't lived together for ten years.
Mab - I've just put my 2 cats to bed now the washing machine and tumble dryer have gone off. They (the cats) sleep in the utility room and hate being shut in there when the machines are on. Homely Cat didn't mind being put to bed but Hunter Cat wasn't to happy as he's been pestering me to let him out for a while now. He's not going out at night for the moment. Ever since I said my son saw what appeared to be a large grey wolf in the fog in the lanes at the weekend it seems 8 dead shee have been found on the surrounding farms.
*or even dead sheeP!
Mab - my two don't get on either. My friend in New York has two cats who have shared an apartmentr with her for 18 years and they still fight!
Oo, that is scary. Part of my problem is that Sophie is a hunter cat and wants to go out. It is too cold and she shouldn't be going out anyway as she is not outdoors-wise.
The last two pe 12's, please?
Both of my cats are street and field-wise, so to speak, both having come to me as strays. I mean THEY found ME. I didn't go anywhere to get them. Hunter Cat (Tiggsy) has already cost me £98 in vet's fees for having his tail fixed after he fought with a grey squirrel and lost. Homely Cat (Kira) can look after herself, although she is only small, but prefers the indoor life these days unless the sun's out and she can bask in it.
Last 2 pe5/12's - 1st - part of a flower. 2nd - the breast (in the breast; hence, in secrecy; in reserve). Sounds like how an Italian might describe your domestic animal.
Wahoo! 20 more than half! Considering when I saw the grid and word count this a.m. I thought it was a 2-day-er! The last several words were thanks to great clues, so thanks fellow addicts! 'Til the morrow ... (It's a good thing I have dial-up and must check for calls now and then--DSL would do me in!)
'Bye Mom23.
Mine were adopted from the humane society as kittens. Sophie is unbelievably neurotic. I can't tell if I am becoming more like her, or she is becoming more like me (likely the latter).
Is that pe5/12, CNan? If so, the last 3 are : sauce for pasta made with basil pretty part of a flower basil sauce, minus one consonent in middle and double the other
Bye Mom23 :)
thanks, Jacula -- got the flower but not the other -- I can only see one solution which is not accepted and it's a bit of a mind block.
Just got it, jacula -- thanks.
Oops, two more words with quick glance at log. Can't look any more. Blinders, please. Must go. Oh, wait, new log entry ...
Well, tis bedtime for the boys... Good night everyone! :)
Cybernan - Google the definition that is in brackets for the 2nd one.
Night Bugzy. Congratulations on finishing.
Ah, no, Bugzy, don't go! Need the pe5/12 after plural black teas.
You caught me Jac :) pe5/12 - Relating to prisons. Really am going now :D
Could look for a BANON chapter nearby, but wouldn't have time to go and still do this! Scratch that lame idea! G'nite. Really. Honest. Definitely.
Oh, and thanks again mab :) G'nite, for real :)
Got it! Thanks Bugzy. Goodnight to you.x
2nd so 5/18?
Sorry, Cybernan. Haven't got that one yet. The re's weren't too bad though, once I discovered you can't res*** (re lather), reho*** (catch a fish again) or can't be said to have rechaired yourself for your exams.
cybernan - same first 3 letters as the 1st one.
Thanks, Diane -- you got me momkey typing again -- don't know how I missed it the first time!
19 words left to find and on to the sk's for me... got the woolly sounding ones and the basketwork beehive.
Is that young Mozart on your icon, Cybernan?
evening -- I have been trying to figure out the co's -- I have two left -- the co6/21 and co7/32 that are together...just can't figure it out. Help!! pls and ty
3rd st 6/30? --following the ones who po4/9 at the fire
pbr - 6/21 and its plural 7/32 - An edible freshwater turtle of the genus Chrysemys.
Add to the co4 bird before them.
pbr....rhymes with ho6/21 and its plural 7/32
Cybernan - 3rd st6/30 is someone who builds a fire up. (Esp. in steam engines.)
co 6 & 6 : child's riding toy minus first letter
sorry -- (can't count) -- it's the fourth st 6/30 that I need!
Cybernan - the fire builder st**** the fire.
st6/30 *what witches were tied to. *T-bones *The guy who po4 at the fire *po4 many times * S + to4/8 plural
Cnan, it rhymes with h7/48
Sorry that was for st7 and st8
jw and jacula -- I would have sworn I tried that word -- thanks -- i have a long way to go!!
How could I miss a darned plural!!! Thank you. That's me across the finish line. Thanks for all the help everyone.
Well, a verb form, Cyber. Well done though. *~*~*FIREWORKS FOR CYBERNAN*~*~*~*
And now for the last in my history collection -- Robert the Bruce (an ancestor, maybe? LOL) *refresh*
Congrats cnan....funny thing, was I was missing that one myself....
A battle well fought, cnan. Congratulations!
Could someone please, please, please give a clue for the last two co6/21's? I think I have one, but I CANNOT figure out the other. Any help appreciated.
I stand corrected, jacula!
Sorry, Cyber. Didn't mean to sound like a know-all ('cos I don't know all).x
lumpy c****** cheese . . . minus the "g"
vtd - the last co6/21 - joint sunning
vtd - expand your co5/12 before them. First in a Latin way and then in a normal pluralisation manner.
Thank you thank you. Got it.
co 6/21: a co***** (house) by the sea - drop the last consonant. co 6/21: take the above, drop the last vowel and replace with a more curvaceous letter.
5 more words to find here.
Anyone want a clue before I leave?
Just found a nest of so's that were nice and calming! 2 to go...
Last so 4/4?
so 4/4: drunkards ( want the fish?!)
I deserve it, Cyber! It's on my web list but not on my written one. I was looking for a word I'd already got!
Way to go Jacula!!!!!
Glad to get rid of it -- it was getting pretty smelly around here after I missed that verb form!!
Well done Jacula!!!!!
Are you finished, Jacula?
Please say you are...I am so happy when someone finishes!
No, 3 to go. My other figure was wrong.
Be right back....
Clue for the last te5/12? Please.
Scrub that. Got it.
All done! I don't believe what my last word was after all the talk about domestic animals! pe4/5 (penultimate word in the 'pe' list). Hit me with a haddock, someone!
Congrats! Jacula -- don't feel too bad about that last word -- took me a couple of tries to find it after seeing the clue -- its not like its a straightforward English word.
Incidentally, when I first logged on and came to this grid at about 9.30/10am UK time, the first word I saw was an lo5/10 (not a winner) and the next think I checked was the number of words. I thought Dr-God was having a laugh at those of us who said the 84-worder of the day before was too easy.
P.S. -- all's well that ends well, and all that jazz. LOL
Have some sewing to do -- back at the flip. :)
'Bye, Cybernan, and thanks for the help.
Anyone need any last minute clues while I'm still here?
Thanks Jacs, but I think I'm as ok as I'm going to get.
Okay, Mab.
Hi Everyone :)
Hello Wolfie. How's Seb and the rest of you?
I am not gonna finish this one -- never should have started, but too late for that now :) So I am going to try to grey as many squares as I can :) an6/18 and the last ce6/21?
Hey Jac -- we are all doing well -- Seb came home yesterday and while he has some meds to make sure his airway stays clear, he never hit the danger point with the RSV :)
an6/18 - lipstick tree.
last ce6/21 - change the last vowel from the one before to a round vowel.
GW - that's good to hear.
Thank you
Incidentally, glad you told me it wasn't you in your Grey Wolf guise around our lanes. 8 sheep have been found dead since my son saw what sounded like a grey wolf last weekend.
Oh my! That must be a bit disconcerting, to say the least
ec7?
Nightclub Drug or sheer bliss!
P.S. Was just clueing quickly and not implying that the nightclub tablet is bliss! Don't do drugs!
I want grok to be valid!!!
Definition of grok (for the confused): To understand profoundly through intuition or empathy. It's not valid, Wolfie. Sorry. Why am I saying sorry? I don't say what goes in these grids. Blame the Disable Dictionary!
groken--adjective meaning too many grid words today
Further clarification -- grok -- perhaps the greatest single word contribution to the English language by the author, Robert A. Heinlein -- first introduced in the novel, 'Stranger in a Strange Land' by the character, Valentine Michael Smith :)
Please continue, GW...
No argument there, JW -- after wasting an entire day hunting for the 474 grid weeks ago, I swore never to do one over 300 again, but I got suckered in by the number of 4 & 5 letter words -- thought things would flow better than they have :)
Wolfie - the 'k' words are right buggers, but most of the rest are normal words.
GW, don't you think they should have included your whole name in the grid? Maybe that is why it is groken today.
Nothing further to add, Jac -- except to note that the word was enthusiastically embraced by the hippie culture of the 60's eventually leading to its introduction into the vernacular
Yep, I saw him in the grid.
Why haven't they used Jacula? That would be a high pointer.
I thought it was kind of nice to be in the same grid as my mom :) ho4 and gr4 hunting side by side ;D
Jac -- I have had very little sleep in the past 24 due to Seb coming home -- so my ability to locate even little words is a bit impaired :)
Need more clues on your mom's name...Please don't call her a ho no more.
JW - ho4/5owl is my mom
I was just about to say that, Wolfie. She's got far more words than you though. Re. Jacula - it's a reef creature and a rock band. Maybe we'll see it here one day.
second an7, please? not the one that's opposite of digital
5 words for Wolfie's Mom!
Une - an + vowel + pe4
Okay, that sounds better....
an + 1st vowel + pe4 word that means a nuisance.
got it, thanks, GW!
Wolfie - lack of sleep is par for the course when a new cub arrives. JW - I am quite aware that if you add an 'e' to the start of my name and a charged particle to the end, it means something quite different. However, this nick was given to me by a Canadian friend on another website, due to my real name and the fact that I'm (sometimes) an all night owl!
Jacula, I wasn't thinking of your name that way...I like it quite well in fact. I always wondered if it had something to do with a penchant for Dracula.
I was "working" this summer when I discovered this website, so I wasn't creative with my name. I tried to change it later, but I guess you get stuck with your first response.
JW - That's it exactly. I was named Jacula due to my night-hours. Then Renfield arrived, my servant (or rather Drac's!) Have you never wondered why Renny always calls me mistress? LOL.
JW -- if you contact Dr_God directly, he sometimes will change it for you --- I know he has done it at least once before :)
I had wondered that and am happy for the info. Always good to know the ones that you play with...
JW - I think you can change it! If not, e-mail Jamie (Dr_God, site boss) about it.
Wonder if I could keep my points...Like being in the 200,000s.
Hi ho!! Jac - I DID wonder why rennie called you mistress!! : )
Speaking of our namechanging player -- has NarniaFan been around at all? I haven't seen her in months!
JW - I don't want you to go away thinking Ren is my life partner! Paul69 on here is my other half.
14 to go... Woulfie - you're in the grid...!!! I'm 'sorta' in the grid 8 )
Hiya, EB! Were you always just too polite to ask then? ROFLOL (really!)
Jacula, Nope, I didn't think that at all....It is interesting to figure out relationships on here. The game is so addicting that many people on here have to be related in one way or another.
Wolfie - I'm sorry, but I don't remember NarniaFan.
hi all - taking a break from work!!!!
Do wonder whatever happened to 'Plurple', though.
Jacula, I am thinking that Paul doesn't get to be online much since you are almost always here when I am....???
Jac - I just figured it was something I'd missed in a chat somewhere along the way...and was a nickname just for you from her... I just figured to each his/her own for nicknames!!
JW -- the primary linkage here is our mutual love for Babble and vocabulary based games in general :) With the exception of my mother, all my friends here in Babbleonia have been the end result of way too many late nights chatting instead of hunting ;)
JW - Paul is on line almost more than I am! Renfield - Did I TELL you you could take a break??
hallo rennie!! we were just chatting about you!! Woulfie - I haven't seen NarniaFan in ages...but my Babbling has been hit or miss lately!!
Agreed GW...and I love that we Babblonians have our own language.
no mistress......my eyes were tired.....
hey eb...hope it was good....or bad....and that i fit the topis!!!!! 8)
How many points does Paul69 have and how many does Jacula have....Just wondering...Hmmmm
No point in looking for words now, Renfield. Catch me some insects!
*excuses self to find last 14 words*
BTW -- HI EB!!!! didn't mean to ignore you :)
JW - we were next to each other on Village Elders a day or so ago, me and my Paul. He's on line more on another site. Not one of the top 20 players on here.
yes mistress,,,shoofly pie????? yum.....
hey the wolf is here!!!!
HI ren!
Goodness Renfield! You need more protein! The Wolf has been here for a while.:-)
Okay, I believe you...I will be lurking, watching, watching, waiting to see your man...ha!
maybe bigger bugs will do it mistress......
*Jac shoves a slice of shoofly pie into her servant's mouth in the hope that the sugar and protein will open her servant's eyes a little more. After all, a new grid is imminent!*
new grid....yippppeeeee...maybe i can come out and play....?????? pleeeeeeaaaasssseeeeee (grovel, beg)
Isn't it difficult to share snacks when you are across the seas?
In a minute, Ren.
na5/10?
golly jw....mistress is a creature of the night...she just flys about and allows me to live on the same planet....8)
Duh...should've known that. Sometimes I am just slow...:)
oops,,,,,renfield used a word.....
GW - na5/10 definition is: The buttocks. Go Google! LOL.
jw - haven't we met before...i mean when the mistress lets me out of the cyber castle????
In the meantime, I will just be smiling,thinking about Tom Hanks showining The President his 'butt-ocks!'
Ren, I believe we have chatted in the past...
JW - I am not an unkind mistress. I do give Ren some freedom on days with an 'r' in them.
i thought so, it has been a while..of course i have been working 20 hours a day so it's been a while since i had time, and was allowed by the mistress to chat :)
I think it was a Thursday.
that didn't help, Jac :)
GW, think of a man's name, plural.
today thursday or last thursday.....or heyyyyy that's thursday, friday, and saturday!!!!! i get 3 days to chat
Woulfie - our Aussie friends might say "g'day ______" change it to an "N"
Thanks -- will be back soon -- time to give Seb his meds :)
rennie - you can always chat 'tomoRRow' or yesteRday! : )
xxxxxKissesxxxxx for baby Seb!!
ohhhhh thanks eb!!!!!! that makes for a good legal backup....8)
Hi all...I need help with the last sk 5/18
brb need to check a report
pine - it's a drinking 'toast'....
pine - I think it's also a chewing tobacco...but not sure on that one....
LOL, EB! *Distant sound of Jac whipping her servant back to work.*
an 6/18....pretty please?? it's my last one...
ooo...I got it! I remembered from the log earlier that someone mentioned that weirdo lipstick tree.... WOO HOO!! finished!!!
*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR EB*~*~*~*~
gee east, i was hoping you would get a new clue - i need it too & totally don't get the lipstick tree thingy
Sorry I didn't re-clue you, EB, was doing Pilates with a man's body as my goal. Gonna bring the dvd out soon - far more fun than stretching on bookcases etc.:-)))
thanks Jac!! 8 D
helenk - a + annoying insect (w/o the g) + ___ and "fro"
Helen - an + 1st vowel + 8th letter of alphabet + 1st vowel again + twice t + round vowel.
Jac - huh?? You want to have a man's body? get a man with your new body?? what would paul say about this?? ; )
EB - it was Paul's body I was doing my exercises on!
