G4/7 is a real babble word too :D We must be careful what we post in the log today, this is like the 'oops' word, lol.
Hi all! I haven't been around much since our fabulous five-vowel-word-finding game, but wanted to let you know that the list we all compiled was very impressive! Click on my profile if you want to see. My laptop is in the shop so I won't be playing for a while... (honestly, what's the if you can't Babble in bed?)
I'm off to bed. I know it's WAY early in the game, but anyone want a clue for the p9/72 before I go?
Babbling in bed... nice idea! Hi Krys, I loved the game. Oh guys, I used the X! :)
we never turn down clues for 9's!
XOXO everyone! g'night.

Hi Sprite -- haven't seen you around for ages! --- good news! -- have all the reservations made, ta da!

Sleep well, nan!
G'night, nan

F8/65
40 left - time for bed. G'night all.
Night macuser.
Can someone give a hint for the pe8/55? I just can't get it.
F8/65 = Pal + ed Njoy....
Punster: the full name of Pippin, one of the LOTR hobbits. Plus vowel.
p same a 9/72, minus last let
Ty for the help, I tried to see that before but it eluded me :( I think I'm too tired, so I'm off for now with 20 to go. Bye all!
Sweet dreams, Punster.
I think I am on my own!!
... no you're not ; )
I am right with you, mrP!
Babbler!!!! Sprite!!! glad you are here!!
long time no see Bab... missed you!
So much more fun together :)
awww, thanks, MrP. I've been off the radar a bit, haven't I? Back now! :D
I have used the X 4 times now... anyone more?
I'm only at 54 words, Sprite... and have only used X once so far.... : )
You're halfway... so now the trouble begins? ;)
Oh! so I am! lol! hadn't noticed.... :D
errrk.... methinks I've forgotten how I used to play! lol! ;D
That's what you get for letting us alone for so long, LOL!
lol Sprite!! I must say, after my shoulder recovered, I was a bit scared about coming back..... I've forgotten so much! : )
I am glad your shoulder is better! And you haven't forgotten anything, you will see. Babbling is like riding bicycle, you never unlearn :)
yeah.... shoulder-butting the screen just isn't the same!! LOL
i am still here too, working, only 2 to go!!!!!
lol MrP!! :D thank you, Sprite.... getting back in the swing bit by bit (with help from my buddies!) :D
Wtg helen! I still need 4.
good going, helen! : ) and you Sprite! : )
Done. 1642 points for today. Now what am I going to do with myself for the remainder of the day???
Sprite gets *~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*
congrats, Sprite!! : D
good going sprite!!!
Yippee! :) Anyone who wants a clue?
i need a clue as to the other word i need, lol
one is de 6/36 but dont know what the other is
helen... I have stats if you need
LOL helen... you don't have stats, I see. Perhaps you can take a look at mrP's list to see which one you are missing?
http://www.writely.com/Doc.asp x?id=bccpk6gfhxhw4 take out any spaces... there might be a 4 letter word missing, sorry
For something completely different... I am still so much in love with your icon, mrP :D
sprite.... can you tell me which word I am missing from my stats please??
ty for the stats, & i also love the icon, adorable
I will take a look, mrP. Helen, do you still need that De6/36 or have you found that one and still missing one more?
Oh, thank you !! my icon and I love you in return x a million!!!
nope, don't know the d and & haven't looked yet for the other, still watching the closing ceremonies, missed them earlier, glad they are rerunning them
mrP, the missing one is Fr4/9 right after the Fr8/65. Helen, that De6/36 is not a common word. Points should tell you something about the uncommon letter that is used. Def: the function of pointing or specifying from the perspective of a participant in an act of speech or writing; aspects of a communication whose interpretation depends on knowledge of the context in which the communication occurs. (So now you know, lol)
thanks Sprite! : )
thanks sprite...!!!
Very welcome! :) Typically a word you only know because you have seen it before and was stupefied by it then.
thanks Sprite
omg sprite, it is 2:00 am - there's no way my poor brain is going to make any sense of that definition, lol, but thanks, i may just leave this till the am
My advice would be to forget the def and just monkeytype with the points total in mind :D
I googled it and found it straightaway, Sprite! : )
LOL, yeah, that's a way too of course.
lose the last letter of the pe9 : )
night, macuser : )
LOL!! somebody hand me the fish!! guess what I've been doing? I scrolled back.... forgot.... and started replying! *blush* :' )
i give, can i get another clue please
ROFLOL! Babbler is reading up the log... Another word I had trouble with: G5/14, plural of tutelary deity or guardian spirit of a person or place. Not plural of very smart persons, but it could have been.
Thought as much, Babbler, LOL! No F4/8 for you, we are way too glad to have you back.
great clue, Sprite!! (still chuckling at myself!) : )
I have 'republished' the clues... thanks again!
ooh! didn't see that! sorry for posting a word. : )
awww, thanks, Sprite : ) It's good to be back!
I could use a clue for the g8, pls? (don't dare scroll back in case I forget again... lol!) ;)
gr8 gr5/16 - more so
Okay helen, let's try this: take the plural De word for gods. Lose last vowel. Change middle consonant into the uncommon one.
Babbler: every word I find makes me G8 to find the next one :)
ah sprite, your monkey fingers are much better than mine, thx
faaab clue! gottit straight off! thanks Sprite : )
morning all nipping in 2 have a look at grid before the school run : )
Don't make a monkey out of me ;) You're very welcome. Any more clues needed?

hello all. MRP whats the story wit BJ's list?? Not here as yet? What wa the talk about a new sort of list..I tried to google the info but not successful.
mrp's gone o dear. can anyone else answer my Q re lists?
helenary go back through the log to about 1.54 and MrP posted a link to the list that her hubby has done. there is 1 word missing from the list fr4/9 see sprites comment after 1.54
thanks FMitch. Is this worth having? i.e. is it for every day or just today..looks a bit hard to me. Do I just copy the link?
copy the link into IE or what ever you use and just make sure there are no spaces and it goes straight to the list.
ok. i'll try.
all i get is "the page cannot be found"
once you ahve pasted the link in, look at it carefully cos babble will ahve put at least one space in the link somewhere.
too hard..give up..but thanx anyway FM
If you change your mind, Helenary, there's only one space... between the 'asp' & 'x' .... take that out & the link'll work.
that works! thanks Trish. and hi : )
Hey Babbler :) Been a while.... thanks for the email funnies... been a while since I've had anyone forward me those, loads of new ones out there :)
lol! you're welcome : ) I didn't get many for a while either, now there seem to be loads!
I don't do the 'chain' ones, but sometimes there are some real gems :) Anyway, how've you been?
ok, thanks. off home to see the folks later this week. : ) it's my little niece's first birthday! how about you?
thanks Trish, and FM, finally got it..because of the space
aww :) I have a new niece, hasn't made it to the 6mnth mark yet... haven't *met* her yet, either! I'm doing okay... for a grey monday morning ;)

I see hubby's nieces a couple of times a year... they're great kids... so much more together than I was at their age, lol.
wot? they're together babies and toddlers? lol ;D
Naw, they're 7 & 11 ... going on 30 ;)

Look forward to hearing the screams then!!!! LOL Awww Bubbles hope he finds time for a hug here and there!! You`ll have him all to yourself in your OWN home soon, so the sacrifice will be worth it :)

any clue for the de6/36 ?
gwen uses the x
Gwen...think everyone's been avoiding cluing this one...de + the vowel you have two of on your face + the centre of a sphere with the first letter...hope that helps
def for de6/36: the function of pointing or specifying from the perspective of a participant in an act of speech or writing; aspects of a communication whose interpretation depends on knowledge of the context in which the communication occurs (google it) : )
or.... de + roman numeral 9 + present tense
(did I get the last bit of it right?)
WOW!!! now THAT's a Clue !!!

Cut Johnny in half? The very thought! *Jac shudders and runs for the teapot.*
Yeah...right there where you've finished that 'run for the teapot line'......Farrah Fawcett in her glory days

Thanks!
I need help with the de6/36, please?
This one is 5 tier, champagne fountain and tons of white chocolate scrolling, YECH!!!

Jera, Bunny posted this earlier: de + what you see with (vowel)+ plus the earth rotates on it's a***
My sister makes wedding cakes (& other fancy ones)... she's in Atlanta.
afternoon babblers!
Ye gods, I would never have guess that one... crazy X's! Thanks!
ohh, someone said cake and Atlanta...just tell me where to go get some!
Instead of just a regular water fountain in the design, they want tinted bubbly in the fountain. I think they should have to provide that...but I have a hard time saying no.
i imagine a spout on top kind of like a lawn spout... but that can't be right
Hi evan!
The name of her company is You Take the Cake!
wow, that is really complicated. you must really know what you're doing!
I have 8 words left... all RE's... should I finish or take a nap & come back later??
I free handed a spiderman cake three years ago, and sonce then... we've progressed. I make these at home though.
Now hoe could you sleep with only eight words left? LOL
That was a pretty bad typo, huh?
*REFRESH* for me new pirate loaog, mateys! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh !!
Very well, i think... still recovering from flu, so I can sleep through most anything one I lay my head down!
her web site has some beautiful creations! The cake is my ONLY reason for attending weddings. If I could just show up for the cake, I wouldn't dread the whole experience.
do you have tha a-z stats list please? x
If I'm looking at the right web site, she has some great cakes!!
Jera, sorry you aren't feeling well, I can help you with those last few if you need! M3, Babbler posted stats in Anon, go to general, fourth post.
my partner is a photographer, she knows that she cannot get through the door after a wedding without bringing me the coveted piece of wedding cake.
Hi all !!! bunny!! How are you and your family?
Well hey Cait, have a feeeling I always just miss ya! Kiddos are great. We were doing science fair project cruching all weekend, melted a bunch of things before we got it right, LOL! How's the hubby feeling?
*SIGHS HUGELY* Done... too tired to dance... I'm off to my couch! Later all!
congrats jera!
Woohoo Jera, well done!!!
Congrats and bye Jera, feel better!!
He is great now thanks.Plaster and stitches are now gone.He will never have feeling back in the top of his finger but at least it was saved!
Good to hear, I bet life has gotten a little easier for you now!

I hate to chat and run, but Sky and Twy have a checkup in a little bit, and they are currently doused in donut dust and chocolate syrup!

LeslieAnn re 7/32 - An oboe is re---- than a clarinet.

Hint for fr 6/27 please...
LEMONed ..teaching Help please with the re7/40
warai Caitlyn-san, we both should be so lucky! :)
to gr 5/16 again, caitlyn
LeslieAnn, this former English teacher agrees. I've been accused of being a grammar police.
TY Leslie Ann
well someone's got to do it, munner! otherwise people would be running around saying ain't and worse, putting apostrophes in plural words!
so, i was GOING to used cap'n crunch as one of my icons for today, until we decided hes not a pirate, just a sea captain. but due to some diligent research, we discovered that he does have a pirate as an arch nemesis -- anyone know the name of that pirate?! ;)
The apostrophes in plurals really gr 5/16s on me.
eva, i went through the exact same thought process! except for the research part. ;)
the last de6/24, anyone?
me too, munner, it is my pet grammar peeve.
Hi all : )
Last de 6/24, When asked why he hopped on the boat, de duck said he was just along for de 6/24.
love the clue Munner ,thanks
hmm...one of my favourite songs is called 'Ain't Afraid to Die', so...no comment :)
LOL Munner....good clue :) Hi everyone :) Hi Adsman :)

hi all...just dropping in for a quick hello!! munner - isn't it desparately seeking Susan??
**Munner** blushes due to compliments for latest clue.
Hi EB :)
I think she was desperately seeking fr 6/27, right?
Hi EB : )
well, in case anyone wants to see the arch nemesis to our beloved Cap'n Crunch, his name is Jean LaFoote, and you can see him here: http://www.direct.ca/ bigpetes/capn_2.jpg
Ii all! (((((((lotti!)))))))) T he firewall seems to be broken, so I thought I'd jump on real quick before they fix it ..
how many words are there today?
torgone! hello stranger!!
whoa, that is one unattractive dude, eva. good choice with the other captain. :)
Aww Wow I`ve missed you Hun xxxxx How are you and the family??? (((Hug))) XXX((((((Squeeze)))))))
leslieann -- captain morgan always takes me to a happy place. :D
Evanadine-san, I am so glad I do not know what you mean by that :D
lemoned -- captain morgan is a brand of rum. :D
haha lemon! he's the mascot for a brand of rum.
Lemon - glad to see you here! : )
Hey EB....Top icon yet again!!!! :)
LeslieAnn-san, that is what they all say ^_~ arigato, it is good to see you too EasternBlue! Ogenki desu ka? ^^
Aaaargh!!! Thank ye' matey!!
Adsman, 112 words
oh didn't mean to make fun, lemon, i meant i thought it was clever. does anyone have a little clue for the pe 8 and 9?
Thanx Munner
Lemon - (I scrolled back to find this...I hope it's the correct response!!) hai, genki desu
Oh....Sorry Adsman, didn`t mean to ignore your question. It`s just that when Torgone is around i get distracted with a warm fuzzy feeling inside!!!!! :D
Fine and/or dandy, lotti. How's with you?
leslieann, PE 8/9 are a type of falcon (2 different spellings) french for "father" + smile then add a vowel to the end
no probs lottie enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling : )
hiya everyone can any one get the stats for today cause mine just keeps comin up as yesterdays puzzle
warai EasternBlue-san, omedeto :) LeslieAnn, I am confuse! Did I accident insult anyone? :/
oh i did know that word! i always assume i don't for the 9s :) thanks.
We`re all good thanks. Worse weather yet to come in the next few days, but hoping nobody ends up sick!!!
oh no, i was confused, lemon. i thought your wink icon was a tear.
LOL Adsman.....thanks :)
bex - check 10:02 post from bunnyvicious.... : )
Aa...is this ^_~ the culprit? warai ^^;
question is the X used at all today? cos it keeps looking at me
yep. no worries, lemon.
phew...gomen, LeslieAnn-san! :)
bex, if you go to general in babanon there is another post with the second letter list
4 x-words today
Ads....not to start any words :)
adsman -- theres a DE6 that uses the X. dunno if there are any others...
Thanx again Munner : )
ge 5/14 anyone?
Ads - is the x looking at you cross-eyed?? : )
thanks leslieann and easternblue
Lol EB maybe its me thats cross eyed
there's an ni 5/20 that uses the x as well
oh, and there are two ox's
thanks leslieann!
Thanx all for the X tips : )
do u have to be a babble pro to get pictures or icon?
two ox's? Aa, and I was just feel so proud of myself for get one as well!
bex -- yes, baing a pro get you a flag, an icon, a "gender" (or as some call them, handbags), and of course, access to the stats. :)
bex - yes...it's a one-time fee (and fun to do!!)
they're only one letter off, lemon. if you have the ox 5, take the last letter off. if you have the ox 4, add a vowel at the end.
i will try to talk my dad into buyin it for me!!!!
Aa, thank you so much LeslieAnn-san! A great clue :)
Bex....explain how educational it is!!!! Oh yes, not forgetting how wonderful all the babblers are ;o) !!!!!

Today is a good day, LEMONed. Things are going well.

oh, i don't know why i always say hello and then go off looking for words and ignore all the people who say hi back. SORRY to all, and hello again, and yes, i am the dread pirate roberts. tremble in your boots.
i'm jealous i didn't think of the dread pirate roberts.
bex stick with it there are some good words here today fr6/30 US TV Sitcom minus the extra last letter. If you have eaten 6 choc bar and want another you could be suffering from gr5/16. Both those words can be expanded to give you 8 letter ones.
hi everyone! my day is not a good day :( one of my twin sister's cats (who I love as much as she does - almost!) had a big operation this morning and didn't come through too well, and may be have to be put down tomorrow. Wahhh!
My name is Inigo... You killed my father...prepare to die...:)

Hi Atalante....Sorry to hear that :(
HI atalante... sorry about your sister's cat.
thanlks fmitch i have the fr ones already but didnt have the gr ones
Atlalante sorry to hearyour news,its always sad when we lose animals.Pehaps it will pull through.
Rolin thats really good news. You can relax now !! : )
I'm suddenly realising Babble is much harder when your mind is on other things! I think I've been staring blankly at the grid for ages!
konnichiwa Atalante-san, domo sumimasen :(
you have no idea how true you are...i have my house back again... ive cleaned and had carpet cleaners in ... i feel so much better
ermm .. Elrond is a pirate because ... a) I haven't changed him to a pirate, and b) because he's a very important elf and can therefore be whatever he wants. I think.
ge5, anyone?
Atalante....I stare blankly at the screen with nothing on my mind!!!!! When it`s something like that you`re bound to worry.....the silly thing is you always worry more for other people !!!
drat, got to go to lunch. see you later!
alshult what country is your flag i am terrible at geography?
Bye, hurshy!
I know! the vet must be entirely sick of me and my sister phoning up to see how Lily is! And it's my sis who's got bad Crohn's - so she does *not* need this!!

lotti: just found it by monkey-typing... but here's teh def: The function of a deictic word in specifying its referent in a given context.
it sounds like de+(the side that the allied fought against in WWII?)
lotti...di6/36. de + a third of a number+ a present tense verb
Good clue on the eg, lotti!
It sure has been Boreetos.... I`ve been hit and miss lately though!!
holy crap! is the theme today pirates?!
Thank you for the clues, I finally got it after an infusion of caffien.

SMITHCHICK!!!!!! going great. tad bloaty but ok. Boreetos- like I'm going to answer that. mine mine mine mine
:) lol. I thought it might lead to some booty!
Hmmm... smaller. TMI!
boreetos, did you know there is a beer called "Booty Beer" and their slogan is "Grab Some Booty". i giggle everytime i see it
Bex-san, ouch! Warai...I would find that easy enough...I AM a foreign exchange student!
Smithchick! I know! That's why I said it. Your turn! And how are you, dear?
cool where abouts do you live lemoned?
:) that's awesome, there's a snack mix called Pirate's Booty as well. It's like flavored popcorn or something. Pretty good though. anyhow, I gotta get back to work, I'll see you crazy kids later.
I'm peachy. No bloating here! Yep, taut and toned, that's me...
Bye, boreetos...
bye boreetos
Bye boreetos
I hate i's... They are the bane of my existence...
I move from Kyoto, Japan to Just North Of London (erm...I swear it has no proper name!), England five/six months ago :) That is my excuse for the bad English!
toodles boreetos! Smithchick! LOL!! OF COURSE!!! uh-huh. yep. sure.
Yep, that's me- skinny-minny.
I hate e's. especially today
Smithchick- so is that why your name is smithchick b/c you're a hot chicky?
Unless you count the extra poundage from the annual Girl Scout cookie binge!
You better be believin' it, smaller. Nothing quite as hot as a size 14, middle-aged mother of four!
oh those girl scout cookies *immediately salivates* my coworker made homemade biscotti and brought it in today. piggy me
Yum... I'm going to pig out on some "reduced fat" lemon cookies. That way, it doesn't count.
lemon cookies?! THEY'RE GOING TO EAT ME!!!
Have you all noticed the conversation always get around to food and drink!Yum Yum LOL
WARAI!! LEMONed!
LEMON!! YES!! Watch out!!!
Smithchick! I knew we liked LEMONed for a reason.
That does seem to be a common theme. That's because we all have great minds and we all think alike!:)
caitlyn, : ) LOL
oh Smithie! good one!! Yes, i agree with that. Completely. uh-huh, yes sure
I think i prefer the talk on drink though.....oops its 6pm time for a wee dram i think!!
I'm a teetotaler, myself. I can do some damage to a Diet Dr. Pepper, though!
oops brb
*tiptoes in - sneaks up behind Smith* *pounce* (((((x))))) Hi! Just got back from the Doctor.
Hi faerie!! Did you have your shoulder looked at?
Smith-yes I did - my surgery was scheduled for tomorrow. (key word -WAS) We are going to try some good old fashion physical therapy first and see if that works....Yeahhhhhhhhh.
Smith-Dr Pepper (makes mouth water) put it in the freezer just until it turns to slush....That's my favorite drink.....
how many s are there?
Faerie- fingers crossed hope the alternative can get it sorted for you!
Well, hopefully that will do the trick. Surgery as a last resort...That's my theory. I fell and injured my shoulder several months ago and ended up with a hairline fracture under my shoulder blade. The doctor actually said to me that there was nothing he could do for it but if I wanted to come back in a few weeks if it didn't stop hurting I could. Okay.... Like I want to give him my money to tell me he can do nothing for me. Sheesh
Yes, faerie! Nothing better than a slushy DP...Unless it is LEMON cookies!
i have had 5 operations before
10 s's lab
FMitch-Ty, so do I, I'm way too young for rotator cuff surgery...That's what the surgen said anyway. I'm just sooooo happy. I had 3 surgerys in the last 2yrs (2 were by choice) I don't want to do it again unless I have to.
there are 10 s's, lalobstah.
Bex - 5 - what type surgerys?
Wow, bex. How old are you? That's a lot of surgeries for someone still in school. I'm 38 and I've not had that many.
im only 14 i have had 3 hernias and 2 gromits
and had phsyio
thank you!
What's a gromit?
Smith-shoulder injuries can really be nasty but I will avoid the surger if possible and pass those Lemon cookies - please :)
its something to do with your ears
We've got LEMONed scared that we are going to eat him!
what's this about lemon cookies?
May i have a lemon cookie please?
*whimpers*
mmm maybe i'll make lemon squares later
i have 4 s4, 3 s5, and 2 s6 - what am i missing please?
No problem! I will gladly share. Just don't tell that to the hubby and kids. They are pigs!
No, Hurshy-sensei, not you too!
don't worry, lemon. i will use OTHER lemons.
Hey everyone Hurshy is making us Lemon squares. Sounds great....
Yum, hurshy! It's okay LEMONed, wouldn't you sacrifice yourself for a good cause?
Another s4, TO
Lemoned-Hi - don't be scared. It only hurts for a second..lol
O.O;
Can we have some Lemonade with the cookies ?LOL
re7/40 anyone?
ty smith : )
chop up coffee beans again . . . re7
TY, une!!!
Kind of a duh one, huh? Should have had that one.
yw!
thanks une, but if you can past tense the gr, then why can't you past tense this re?
What about re 7/33? Please..
I will make Lemon Meringue pie to go with our Lemon cookies and Lemon squares and wash it down with Lemonade. lol
sorry, re 7/32
More of the re6 before it.
i have an re 7/32 - more of the re4 before it
Run, LEMONed, Run!!!
While you are baking, I will decide what songs I want playing at my funeral... ...assuming, of course, that there will be enough of me left to bury
any clues for the er 5/12 pls
You need to load it all up and come to Arkansas, faerie.:)
Aa...your idea is better, Smithchick! *RUNS FOR THE HILLS*
English is coming along nicely, LEMONed...
***chases LEMONed and chants "nummy nummy nummy"***
Past tense of made a mistake, rolin
Rolin..er5/12 to mmake an error
er5/12 made a mistake
tch...of course thx smithchick
brb
warai, Thank you Smithchick...I put it down to Miya-chan teaching me! She is an amazing English teacher :)
your clue got me the re 8/45, but still searching for the 7/32. Thanks.
Oh good, LEMONed. I was hoping you and miya had met.
Smaller-san, iie! ... (I think someone had better explain to these people that I am not a real lemon...)
im stuck on the er aswell but i cant understand the clues
LEMONed...do you mean myavi...?
Add the more of suffix to the re4/5 before.
miya? you thank miya? what happened to hurshy-sensei?
er's--think mistake and mistakes
sheila...its more of you re 4/5
LEMONed! Don't lie just to avoid consumption. And yes, your English and response time has improved impressively! Good job!
re7/32 more than the re4/5
Hai, Rolin-san, Miyavi-fan :) She has been teaching me English, I have been teaching her Japanese :)
rolin - chan is one of those japanese things like -san, but you can only use it on people younger than you
Hurshy-sensei, all your fine help goes without saying! you are the paragon of humanity. I worship you. From afar :D
hurshy..i was wondering if lemoned meant myavi was the english teacher
Smaller, you are crackin' me up!
ha...LEMONed...shes such a good english teacher ...cos im HER english teacher...lol
So, Smaller-san...how many lemons with opposable thumbs do you know of?
I did not know that, rolin. Too cool. You must be an exceptional teacher.
Rolin-san! Really?! Warai, she often mentions you in her emails!!!
i dunno about that smith... mayavi is a natural thinker...
LEMONed ...only the good stuff is true...lol
Is the pe9 related to the pe8?
warai I would not believe anything else ^^
I need to get my son started playing this game. He is very verbal. Good vocabulary for his age (13).
smithchick yes add a vowel
theres a pe 8 ....?..omg!
Never mind. I'm a dolt. I have the 9. It's the 8 I don't have. It is probably a different spelling of the 9.
smith....i introduced my students to the site at the beginning of the year.... ive got a few kids hooked...
Yes, it is a different spelling of it. DUH!!! Pass the fish!
I'm sure there are some angry parents out there, rolin!!!
ooohh smith said a word!! naughty smith!
may i have a clue please for fr6/27?
-ahem- which word would that be, Temple Owl-san...? *hint hint*
OOPS!!! Sorry about that! I'm officially in the club now too!
Temple more than fr5/16
Plural the fr5/16.
smith....well there were a few worried..you know the net scare thing...but hey...i told 'em you guys were safe...*quick look round*..i guess...lol hey how about a clue for the pe8?
Liar, liar pants on fire, rolin!!
HA!!...go 'em both..good for me...
*innocent look*.... moi???...fib????
Personally, Rolin-san, I have never felt more threatened in my life! *sobs* they were going to EAT me...
hi all

Okay, I still cant get the re 7/32. Is there a clue out there for the stupid players? PLEASE!!!!!
yeah well lemon....if ya get a name thats food...what do you expect??..lol

Smaller-Smith-Lets take him.....chasing Lemoned around the room with a spoon*
warai, I let that one slip...
i noticed but was trying to be discreet . . . :-)
Thanks, Une. Discretion is the better part of valor, after all.
See you later, Rolin-san :) Omidete on your students!

Schro-Sure, I'll take some....:)

LEMONed- Schroeder is slicing you.
gr5/16, 6/30 combo?
Hi Smaller, made 7 miles Saturday!!! Sorry Smith just starting I got nothing *Big slice for Temple*
george and ira g****win (change vowel)
Faierriieeeirek, Schro found him and is slicing him as we speak
Schro-oooooohhhhh yes, this is the best Lemon Merangue pie I've ever had....yummmm

TY, again Une! EEewww smaller.
Oh nooooo-did anyone see me eat that pie???? Lemoned are you alright? I just got your finger didn't I?

I almost pe 4/6 my pants on that one Lemon.
pe4/6 is my favorite word lately
You shouldn't wet your pants in the precense of the dead!
lol bex!
Thanks for the help along the way, I finally found the one I was missing, but had to use a2z wordfinder.
LOL lemoned-I thought Smaller would come to save you but nooooooo.
WARAI, LEMONed!! Okay, I'm down to one word and its the ar5. Any hints? I've got to go because I'm babysitting my nephew and he'll be here at 1.
i have been on here 4 hours and only have 33 words!!!
ar + opposite of bro
Faeriekae-san, SMALLER was the one chasing me in the first place!
Thanks once again, Une! I'm done!! I've got to go jump in the shower before my nephew comes. I'll probably be back to hang out in a little while. Bye!
LEMONed, only because it's food related. If it is any other matter, I promise to defend you. If you're food, YOU WILL BE EATEN. No loyalty. No honor. No mercy.
Bye smithchick, have fun with you nephew
Lemon-Next time, I'll try to save you from here oven...umm, I promise (fingers crossed) *^_^*
but I keep TELLING you, I'm NOT A REAL LEMON!!!
YAY SMITHCHICK!!!! way to go!!
Smith-Later :)
Omidete, Smithchick-san!!
warai Faeriekae-san, I wonder why I don't believe you...
Lemon it's just because your so sweet :)
Faiiireeeiikaeea, Those foreigners sure do lie a lot, don't they?!!
warai Schroeder-san...I thought I was supposed to be sour :)

Lemon-Takumi-it is just as Schro says, you are so sweet we just resist you...

Hi TSM - would you like some lemonade or lemon pie or lemon cookies:)
I need the sr 4/4 please and thank you.

temple owl, kinda like the shortened name for independent films but add an i near the end
Hi TSM!!
soooo quiet now
tooooot
hee hee hee
but not for long...
Smaller I thought it was only beans that made you do that....lol
HI Sherb!!!
HI Smaller - I'm still here. Just looking thing over. Need words. I wish someone else would do this for me. Thats how lazy I am today.
Hi Sherb!!!
Tink, nope lemony LEMONed must not have digested well
hi Smaller, and Schro, and faeriekae !!! :D:D:D
and hi lemoned :D
Speaking of beans I made navy bean soup this past weekend (white beans) was really good. Hadn't had it in a long time. Bean soup, cornbread, fried potatoes with onions in them, and side salad. Good down home cookin'
Sherb - Hi :)
oooo faereekiiiaer that sounds nummy!
Komban wa Sherb-san! Smaller, I am outraged. I digest fine!
Smaller - thats a meal where you have leftovers and that just saves me from cooking for a couple of days. lol
Oh faerie that is one of my favorites!!!
Lemon - LOL so Smaller - a little gas from all the lemon earlier? lol
Schro - I've been meaning to ask you....do you collect Tinkerbell or any faeries?
LOL Lemon!!!!!
Is it just me or are we all just a bit warped?
Faerrrieekaa, LOL!!But it was worth it!!!
it's just you. we've already discussed it. at length. while you're not looking
I have a few Tinks around from my years at Disneyland. I have gone to your friends website, she has some beautiful work...
Smaller - oh yeah - I knew I was special...
LOL Fairieiiekaaee!! Just teasing!!! and yes you are super duper special!!!
Schro-I have so many faeries it's unbelievable. But I have to say Tink is my favorite. I started collecting her when I was very young.
has anyone got the in 5/12?
Rolin - No looking for both in's
faerie...the in6 is in+old fashion word for an act
in5/12 - short for not dependent
in 5/12- movie made outside Hollywood
Nope sorry Rolin, haven't gotten that far...
ahh...got it thx
rolin in5/12 not one of the large record labels
*whispering*...schroeder...i skipped a few de's...lol
*yawn* afternoon all -- theyre sure keeping me busy today!!
back in 10...
Hi Evan!!!
Evan-Hi :0 yawn, lazy today.
It's getting quiet again Smaller might toot....
Schro-good point. Lets not let that happen again. Had to spray Oust the last time.
Refreash - I'm tired of being a pirate. I like being a pretty faerie*
Schro- I just bought this statue. Beautiful isn't she?
She is beautiful!!! As soon as can afford it I am going to look a little closer at her website. Right now I'm in the middle of costumes and dance shoes all needing to be bought (darn priorities)
Hi everyone! anyone have the er 5/12? Pls and ty
This faerie I got off of e-bay. Lisa - The Faerie Gathering - has stopped making and selling the statues for now. She had just taken on too much an something had to go, I had made her physically ill. I think she will start to make them again once she feels better and is a little more confident in herself.
Quick- Hi :)
quick...past tense of making a mistake
Hi Quick!!! That's so sad faerie, E-Bay huh...I get in trouble when I play on E-Bay
oh rolin, 'doh ! so obvious........... hi Faeriekae! I've been following the - ahem (cough) "interesting" conversation here.
Schro-I don't shop e-bay very often. There are too many stores in my area that sell faeries for me to do that. LOL
hi shro ---I LOVE Ebay !!!
Quick-Lurking were you?
tee hee
There is a store not far from where I work that has some unique ones... Me too Quick, my husband says I have a black belt in shopping...
where have all the pirates gone?
Quick-I too can get into trouble with e-bay and I have noone to answer to but myself...lol
lol don't i know it !
Hi Hurshy-We all ate Lemon Pie with Lemonade and then I'm not sure what happened..it's all a blurrrrr...
is there a clue for the re8?
Hi Hurshy!!!
hi schro! re8 - santa has 8 re8
before he finds rudolph
cool..thanks hurshy
ugh, i hate to say it but i think i need the list now
Hi Hurshy
Help!! i need one more - the first fr 5/16. I can't seem to make anything fit....I can't seem to find any word that would fit before the fr that means liberated. thanks
joey...its more of your 4/7
joey - try fr + 1st vowel + double consonant. Hurshy - nice icon - "you killed my father, prepare to die"!!! Hi all!
Hi Joey & Dachef!!
Hi Dachef. Definition for fr 5 = Debris or excrement produced by insects.
thanks, DAchef. I missed the fact that there was another "R" on the first row....... that's what I get for being on vacation. smaller - if you are still here, hope you got another book, and one of the next few might satisfy your urges..... 8)
Where o where is the 9 letter word?
hey, Schroeder, how goes it? I am done and have to get back to work soon... just found out my presence is requested at a high level meeting in a few minutes...... hope they don't expect very much
9 letter is PE and it is a falcon
Quick: pe9: a breed of falcon.
did I spell it wrong? I only got 8 letters for the falcon.
joey - congrats - I always find its a good idea to walk into high level meetings by saying: "dorry I'm late, I was busy playing Babble. Got stuck on the eff five."
Put a vowel on the end of your 8
I hate it when that happens joey, especially when they expect you to answer questions.
Thanks for the pe 9 :)
Thanks everybody !
dachef........... that sounds like a great idea - IF I want to retire tomorrow...... but thanks, all suggestions are greatly appreciated. see ya'll and good luck.
schroeder, I don't think that I will be called upon...... ttyl
am down to 15 words left without BJ's list nad am hitting the wall!!! any clues for the e's on the second bottom row?
and the e's to the far right please!
Sorry Dachef, I am no help today. Seem to be moving like a slug through this grid....
Sorry, don't have 'em yet
I have an En5/14 meaning stopped. Thats my only one so far though
And now an Er5/12 meaning made a mistake
I have the 3 e's from the top right corner. anyone need those?
Atlante - ep4: fencing sword, eg4: someone who chucks ovae, minus a g.
Ei4/5 the duck minus last letter
Dachef Thanks for the "ep" I would never have gotten that one.
i don't have any of the last 4 de's and feel very stupid at the moment...
Hurshy-if you had a college de 6/27 you would feel very smart....then past tense.
i DO have one, but i don't feel smart anyway
look de 4/6 into my eyesssssss No de 6/24. now there, you will see the words.
now, i have that one. and i found the 6/36 on points. i just need the last one now. but maybe i can get it.
yes, i got it.
yeah Hurshy-I can't believe I was giving You clues. Thats a first.
I'm nowhere near done though. lol
well, i'm kind of down on myself today, so perhaps i haven't my usual confidence which hampers my word finding
Hurshy-Please, you have to stop beating yourself up. You can not control other peoples behaviors.
I have all the "e's" now....
but i shouldn't have been so stupid today. you see, i woke the boy up to go to chemistry, and he said he didn't have to go, and he was saying the same things he had said about not having to go to spanish earlier. so i thought he probably wasn't really awake yet and was confused. but when i kept asking, he SEEMED lucid and like he knew what he was saying. but then when i woke him up the next period to go to history, he thought it was time for chemistry and didn't remember the earlier conversation. i should have KNOWN he wasn't really awake. and i think his chemistry teacher is pretty upset with him. plus as it turns out he didn't even actually have permission to miss spanish (although i think he thought he did). he's getting in so much trouble lately and i feel like i should be doing a better job preventing it.
wow - didn't realize that was such a long post.
but Hurshy dear, he is his own person. You can *try*, but in the end, things are his decision
Unless he comes in and hands you a list of classes and activities every single day for the next day you have no way of knowing. Now of that was your fault.
excuse me. None of that was your fault Hurshy.
but he didn't decide to miss chemistry, i just didn't wake him up thoroughly enough!!
Hurshy.... and you were supposed to know that, how?
Excuse me - again how old did you say he is?
well really in hindsight it doesn't make sense that two of his classes would have other people giving presentations which he didn't have to listen to, on the exact same day. he's 18.
hurshy, I can wake my husband up 5 times and each time he'll go straight back to sleep. when he realises (finally) that he's late for work, it certainly isnt my fault!
Hurshy-I have no doubt that you are the best mom in the world and you go the extra mile to have strong happy family so please give yourself a break. You are a good, good mom....
but if i had realized how impossible it was i could have woken him up thoroughly so he would have gone. turns out there was a test, too.
hurshy, you are representing one of my favorite movies of all time.
He's 18. Then go buy him an alarm clock and tell him he needs to start taking on the responsiblity of getting himself up and going to school on time or there is a military school with his name on it....
the princess bride should be everyone's favorite movie.
"you killed my father, prepare to die"!
I remember you talking about him before. I know there are special circumstances around him too. However, he really does have to learn to be responsible for himself in that department. Maybe you could have a brainstorming session with him where he comes up with solutions. Like maybe setting more than one alarm clock or something. Just a thought
ok, a) he has an alarm clock and b) i'm not his real mom, hence can't send him to military school
Now, do you realize why God didn't give me children? LOL
you said that already, dachef. :) and *i* did not kill your father - count rugen did.
Ok-best step-mom in the world
it's just...it's just so hard, because amount he likes me is inversely proportional to how hard i try to keep him out of trouble.
you commited one of the classic blunders! THe most famous of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is Never go in against a Cicilian when death is on the line!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA---*bump*
not even step-mom ... more like pseudo-mom
if he has an alarm clock, its not your place to fret that he doesn't get up!!
how many words today please?
112
ok, you people clearly do not understand how stupid i am. thanks for being so nice, but i think i must wallow in self-loathing for a while...
Hurshy-do you have children of your own?
Yes, 112 and I'm going so slow I still have 63 to find.
Thank you boreetos, i am stuck on 38, may as well call it a day, no brain cells left!!
no faerie - have never wanted any
67 left here.
ugh, on more babble-related note - help with ge5?
ok. I give in. 10 words to go and I'm turning to The List!
yea-me either. My friend John has 2 children Mathew 16 and (son) and Casey 18 (daughter) I don't know if they will ever accept me in "Dad's" life.
hurshy ge5: plural of the things that grant wishes and live in bottles. Double vowel at the end.
don't have the ge's but I'll take one....:)
beat me today atalante - i gave in at 40 to go
ir 4/5? I have the got mad and the eye part...
thanks dachef
temple - there are two eye-part related words
are both of the eye part ir words related to the colored part of the eye?
i need a little help on the fourth c word. I've got the on that goes with race and color, the burning sounding one and the pancake.
one of them is a 4/4, which i have...
yeah
the other is a 4/5
boreetos - the other sounds like an s word for leak
one last note, Hurshy. Don't expect yourself to be perfect. Remember you're kind of new at this and having to work out relationship issues with a child whom you haven't raised their whole life is very complicated. Give yourself a break!
take the 5/14 and remove a letter, boreetos... boreetos gets a clue and i get the stats?
thanks Hurshy!! No more rhymes now, I mean it! Anybody want a peanut?
got it!
well temple it is almost identical to the one you have
i know, quick - but i only have until the end of the school year, and then he'll be gone. i have to do a good job, fast.
Phooey!! Back to work once again, be back later!
later boreetos
that didn't rhyme, boreetos
I see, Hurshy. That really puts the pressure on, doesn't it? Whew!
done. half of those words were words I *know* I've typed it before *growl*
Atalante, I hate it when that happens!
down to 12 without the list. starting to cry.
atalante - i hope you had at least gotten the hobbit before turning to the list, given your icon
hobbit?
well, at this point if i can keep him from getting suspended whilst he gets his good grades (he's very smart, just doesn't do most things he is supposed to do), i'll feel successful. but at the rate he's been racking up points lately... (we have points for missing things and if you get so many you get suspended. luckily if you make high honors it erases 15 of them, and the end of the term is this week, so he should get them reduced then).
pe8 is a hobbit
anyone have the fr 8?
quick - past tense of fr6 (odd, huh?)
ahhh, of course. <stops desperately trying to enter Frodo>
Its the past tense of the Fr6/30 before it
tks Hurshy, Tigereye! Hurshy, can he say... "fresh start"?
he can SAY it... :)
and done!
Hursh, He's in the home stretch. If he was ever going to pull out all the stops and put forth the effort, it should be now. Would he respond to that?
well it's not EXACTLY the home stretch - this is only his junior year. he's only not coming back bc this is boarding school and he and his brother (who is also attending here this year) want to go back home and back to public school.
he's repeating his junior year bc he failed everything last year - missed so much school and smoked too much pot
ok, I'm trying to finish the fr's. I still need the last fr 5/18 fr 6/27 before that and fr 4/9 pls and tx
Hurshy- Congrats *%*%*%*
fr 5/18 foods are very fattening fr 6 is a plural fr 4/9 short for a kind of boat? or the place you keep food cold?
and quick - he doesn't respond to much of anything.
fr5/18: fr*** food is bad for you. fr6/27: plural of someone who liberates fr4/9: er, bit rude this one. Think of an oil *** and add an f.
oh. wow. It's all going to depend on him then, isn't it? How bad does HE want to turn his life around, right? Because no amount of ANYTHING you do can do that for him. All you can truly do is what you are already doing. But then again, you knew that, didn't you? The world today needs more self sacrificing people like you!
atalante - are you avoiding a response on the hobbit question out of shame, or just distracted?
hey, i got the pe8 from the hobbit clue! thanks!!
sometimes i have students who are reasonably smart, but do no work, and i wish i could give some of their brains to the kids who work and work and work but just have so much trouble understanding math. in this case i wish i could give some of MY motivation to my kid.
:) yw smaller
Any clues for the last 2 de's? de 6/36 de 6/24 Please and Thanks...
tks hurshy, dachef
de 6/24 is more than 4/6
de 6/36 - from the points there is a certain letter that clearly must be in it - if you fiddle a bit you should get it de 6/24 - to make fun of, mock
Thanks
ok, now I'm confused. I have the first de 6/24 but not the last one that evidently means - to mock. I don't get it. Also don't get the 6/36. Sorry. Brainlock. p.s. Hurshy, my 15 yo son is one of those that works his a** off in math and still can't get it.
Quick - There are two 6/24.. The mock one is the very last one..
to mock - de + ri 4/5 de 6/36 - add yourself, then one more than five, backwards
got it ladies, thanks!
thanx, Hurshy for the de 6/36... I was just going to ask for it...;-)
gr 7/44? I know, I'm needy today.
Hi chic!
what you do to coffee beans - past tense
you know what really irks me (sorry to go on about this more), though, is that he's really immature in some ways that other boys at our school are not - when it comes to responsibility, clearly. but in other ways he is much more mature - he's not crass, for instance, which many of the other boys are. yet the crassness of the boys doesn't get punished, it is more overlooked because it is expected of teenage boys, and he doesn't get any credit for not being like that.
Hi Quick and all!
why can't we just acknowledge that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and not judge some weaknesses more harshly than others?
Chic - hi :)
Hello
tks Kris! Hursh, I have a real problem with a school that thinks it is expected for boys to be crass! That is a bunch of bologna.
hi chic - sorry you caught me mid-grumble.
agreed, hurshy
well, the faculty don't approve of the crassness, and they try to encourage the boys to not be that way, but it clearly doesn't carry the same weight as the responsibility issue.
What are the two letters in the bottom right hand corner? my comp won't load the images! grrr Makes playing difficult!!
both are DD
DD in bottom row, or ED if you mean right side.
D D
Lizzi, mine was doing that the other day too
I'm sure that is EXTREMELY frustrating Hurshy!
thanks... it's loaded now! lol.. i'm all impatience this evening
Did we scare Faeriekae (sp?) away?
thanks, you are so Quick to sympathize :)
I'm right here. Lurking and looking for words..
well, I've been through a lot with the public schools and my kids and their special needs. Maybe that helps.
i'm sure i scare lots of people away. they roll their eyes and say, "oh no, here goes hurshy with her sob story again"
a lurker, huh?
Hurshy-you could never scare me away dear. I just wish I knew what to say to make you feel better but I don't and I'm sorry. I wish I could give you a great big hug (((((x))))) and make you feel better.
{{{{{{ awwwww }}}}}}}}}
ok, I've GOT to get on with the puzzle.....
I know, here, have some faerie dust ***sprinkle***sprinkle***spr inkle*** and dance and spin and take it all in. :D
aww!!! you guys are so neat!!!
Smaller-where have you been hiding?
please could I have a clue for the re/8

What you do to your coffee beans - again
Re 8 think rudolph
Opps that was for the 7...
Tigereye has a good clue... SORRY
how about the so 4/4?
many thanks Tigereye
SO4 misspelt appologies
Thanks Kristina also for trying
Smaller - I understand Bosses can be so fussy can't they?
kristinarose, "put them up my nose to entertain my two year old" isn't in the grid ...for the what you do to coffee bean clue
Tigereye-TY
hey KristinaRose :D ...what happened to Jessie? ...haven't seen him for a while...
and how about the de 5/12 please and thank you.
Hi Sherb... He is out of town till the 2nd
faerrieekaaaaaa, exactly!!! do you think you could write me a note giving me permission to be able to babble freely at work? please please please
de 5/12 - plural of de4/5
brb
Plural of the De4/5
that's a shame... there's no-one to keep an eye on smaller... you know how she gets...
oh, thanks faeriekae - had to go deal with laundry and just read your post now.
HEY!!!! truth hurts! so let's just shhhh on that
LoL
goody no overlord to weild work ethic guilt
wield?
*sings "i before e except after c..."
ok, I need a break from words. I think I'll go do sudoku for a while. I'll be back later.
hey, Shakespeare never worried about spelling...
sorry, had a phone call and Smaller I would be happy to write you a note so you may play Babble at work.
bye quick, come back quick, Quick.
Quick - later :)
Sherb, which is it? i'm blanking. usually i just replace the word. but oopsey, already posted
OHHHH thank you, Faeeririreekieia! His name is Michael.
This message is intended for Smallers employer: Smaller needs more breaks, longer lunches, and needs to be able to Babble at any given time. Plus, give her a raise. She works hard for the money, so hard for the money. Oh excuse me, got carried away for a moment. So bottom line: Longer Breaks, Longer Lunches, Raise, Babble whenever. Thank You, Faerie Kae
my company's IT department, which is useless at everything else, managed to block access to Babble right after the first time I played at work... if only they could give put the same ingenuity into making the server work better...
Hey Faerie you forgot to mention that Babble makes smaller - smarter.
Sherb - isn't it amazing? Big Brother is always watching.
FaeeriririeKaeer, very eloquent! here here! (claps) rings with logic, candor, truth and bs! Excellent for this company
I wouldn't care, but I only played in my lunch hour!
MM-Hi! Guess what? I went to see my surgen today and I'm starting Physical Therapy instead of surgery tomorrow as scheduled. Yeah!
Faerie - that is terrific. Answered prayers definitely. I have been thinking about you.
Smaller-Your Welcome, anytime I can help just ask and I'll do my best... lol
Sherb- I kneel at your work-ethicacy!
MM-aaaawwww-Thank You-you are just so sweet. I'm still not able to do alot with my left arm but the "dancing" is supose to be good according to the surgen. I have to wait until I see my PT befor I do too much though.
Faerrieeeikae! woohoo for you!!!!
Yeah!!!! I would think snake arms and genie poses would be very good for strengthening. But you are right - take care and let the PT let you know what you can do. Be careful not to overdo.
MM-I already overdone it too late for that. I helped John put all the electrical outlet's and swith plates in his house this weekend. 256 cover plates.
Are you crazy?? heeee jk. I stripped wallpaper all day on Saturday. I had to remove switch plates. There are 8 outlets in our dining room. Crazy! I'm not done stripping. I should be doing that instead of this. I'll probably work on it after dinner.
I put on all the cover plates while he finished puting up the last of the light fixtures. Kitchen hardware is next weekend.
Faeiou-sometimesy, SHAME ON YOU!!!
I don't think you should be doing that next weekend. Ask the PT.
evening all
Smalalalerrrrrrrrrrrrrr I just can't be still. It has helped that I became ADDICTED to Babble.
evening sha got in i see
Hi Sha.
Sha- Hi - your icon is beautiful..
MM-not stripping wallpaper........oh mercy..I would rather do just about anything. I have a wallpaper steamer that I bought the day I moved into my house and I've taken down all the paper. The kitchen, dining room, bathroom and one bedroom. I'll hate that job.
I'll hate that job? Looks like I need a break LOL I hate that job......
Good afternoon, everyone -- we had a power outage this morning, so I'm a little late getting here today.
I borrowed a steamer from a friend. The babblers Saturday night heard my tale of woe. There is wallpaper in every room in this house and I hate it alll. I stripped two rooms and painted them before we ever moved in. The dining room was hideous. believe it or not the drywall looks better. These people didn't prime the walls so it is a real pain to take down. My back was aching yesterday so i didn't work on it, but I want to get it done. The kids Spring break is coming up and they are going to grandma's. A perfect time for me to paint.
Cybernan Hi :) Good luck!
Hi Cyber.
Oops that was a really long post. Sorry.
MM- no worries!! very informative, I'm doing my wallpaper removal soon too. say as much as you want! about ANYTHING!!!
Smaller - I have found that soaking the wall with vinegar water is actually more effective than the steamer. Either score the paper first or take the top vinyl layer off. The vinegar seems to peel away the gluey layer.
how many words do u need ruthy?
60 sha u?
57
THANKS MUSIC MOM!! what rate do you mix the vinegar water? 1 cup per gallon?
MM-a steamer is the only way to go. My kitchen and diningroom had wallpaper on every wall floor to ceiling little blue hearts and they would almost make you dizzie. Bathroom samething only it was peach and green flowers the bedroom was black and red wallpaper. and yes I know what it is to take down paper when the wall hasn't been preped correctly to begin with. My house has plaster walls so I really had to be careful because I know plaster work can really be costly. So good for you. Doesn't it feel good everytime you pull a piece off? LOL
Something like that. I just poured a good amount of white vinegar into my bucket while hot water was running in. I didn't measure but 1 cup sounds about right.
Yep it was quite therapeutic. hehehee. it's also great punishment. Sarah knows she doesn't want to misbehave or she will be stripping wallpaper.
I went back over my walls with the steamer once I had everything off and steamed the glue off and the washed the walls with vinager water.
There is this stupid border in the dining room that has angels flying around it. They look like the wicked witch of the west - they have stripped socks. ICK!
early night for me... see you all soon :D
MM-LOL your kidding right?
Night Sherb.
Nite Sherb
Faerie - about the punishment or the angels. Nope not kidding on either account. These angels are hideous.
stripped socks?
Some people have no taste at all....
I have Os4, Ox4 and Ox5 whats my missing O word?
yep I saw them first thing when we looked at the house. As soon as we closed the deal I told Greg those were going. There is also an obnoxious pink carpet throughout the dining room and living room. We have to live with it for now but it is going as soon as we can afford it.
Tiger there are 2 os 4/4's
Thanks :)
n e clues for the de-6-36 please?
MM-in the house I sold I stripped paper there and they had painted over wallpaper. Talk about a bugger to get off the wall. Ended up having to redrywall.
I need clues for fr5,16 & re5,16 please. I have fried my brain.
We were actually discussing that we may want to re drywall one wall in the dining room. I'm waiting for a friend who knows more about it to come over and look at it.
De 6/36 - de+self letter+six backwards.
Fr5/16 more Fr4/7
Or Fr+butt
MM-other than the cosmetics of the house your happy though? I know when I was house hunting it was rather easy because I know my limits. And I know that everything can't happen at once. I need a new roof and I plan to do that this spring. Can't wait. Really.
Re 5/16 hang washing up again
hi kids
We are ecstatic. We will have been married 15 years in August and this is our first house. It is an old farmhouse (though in town now) and fits us sooooo well. I even have a piano studio for the first time in my life. We agreed when we looked at it that we would have 30+ years to change wallpaper, carpet etc.
Also it is a great neighborhood for the kids. Quiet street, lots of room to play, friendly safe neighbors....
LOL tigereye!!! bye sherb! hi boreetos!
hey, just popping back in - looks like some congrats are in order, mm? i am so jealous. i have a great home provided for free by our school, and i'm very thankful. but there's somehow still nothing like owning your own home and doing whatever you want with it! i hope someday we'll get to buy one.
ARRRRR!
is something wrong, boreetos, or are you just being pirate-y?
Thanks Hurshy. We had rented the same house for 14 years. It's nice to be able to change the walls if I want.
MM-that's great. You deserve it. Both of you deserve it because I know you both work very hard and 15yrs says alot. Congrats. When did you buy your home. It sounds like a great house.
We just moved in in September. Thanks. We are very happy.
repeed should be allowed. Like "Last night i changed the sheets after peeing in bed, then i repeed the bed."
Wow I just saw the time. I better go start dinner or we may not be so happy<G> Seriously, I need to head out. 18 more words to find so I'm sure I'll be back later.
Heeheheeee smaller - I agree. Anyone with children should know that repeed is a word.
MM-later :)
Thanks Tigereye, took me a while, but I got them.

Tiger, was that clue for me? I've got that word, its only an 8 though. I'm looking for the nine. I don't even know what letter it starts with.

*whispers* Smaller its his first name

what's his last name?
Took
Thanks Tiger and Smaller, excellent!!

Just stopping in to say hi, Very tired. Did not sleep well again last night. Just got home from work. Maybe I'll play tomorrow.

thanks tbear and hurshy....you 2 are pretty nice for pirates!
Hurshy -- another word game -- you'd probably like it! (also addictive): http://www.eastoft heweb.com/games/Eight1.html
yes, i am a silly girl, for not having seen sooner that you were nothing but a coward with a heart full of fear!
anyone who doesn't get gr 7 right off, shouldn't be playing this game!
arhhhhh - thems fightin' words matey!
meant gr 4/7
no, them's quotin' words. you're supposed to say, "i would not say such things if i were you!"
thanks for the link cnan, i heard jera or someone mention it the other day - it looks good
sorry, i have not memorized that princess something or other movie.
Whoops girls are swashbuckling..........
MIAOW MIAOW MIAOW
hope you enjoy eight1, hurshy, if you decide to give it a try. A few other babblers play it as well, but none of us has reached the top 20 yet.
and then *i* would say, "and why not? you can't hurt me. westley and i are joined by the bonds of love, and you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords. and when i say you are a coward that is only because you are the slimiest weakling ever to crawl the earth!"
REN! i know i saw here - where you hiding ren?
and then lloyd would say "i'm talking about a little place called aspen" and harry would say "i dunno lloyd, the french are assholes."
could i please have a wee bit of help with si5/10 and si6/18... i assume they are related
and then *you* would say, "I WOULD NOT SAY SUCH THINGS IF I WERE YOU!" and you would rush me to my chamber and lock me in, and then run down to the pit of despair and say to westley, "you truly love each other, and so you might have been truly happy. not one couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the storybooks say. and so i think no man in a century will suffer as greatly as you will." and then you would turn the machine to 50 and rugen would say, "not to 50!"
aye nutty buddy!!! i'm hoisting the main sail and staying out the the way!!!
any clues out there for the last two si--si6/18 and si4/4? I am down to 10 words to go and am now officially word blind!
mo - "yes, si____!"
arrhhh, i know nothing of sea ling but hoist the sails and swab the decks
or - i'm gibbing my timbers....
si 4/4 more than one mr.
Evening All: Is this a toughie or is it me??
aft aand fore and mine the chine...heave to from the reef... whadda ya think?
ah... who'd have guessed that i'm impressed.
thanks hurshy, see I told you I was blind.. that si4/4 should have jumped at me right off
si6/18 - yes si****! Had to go and sort some work probs out, returned for my last 8! Anyone got the de6/36?

hurshy and Dachef thank you very much
de + word that sounds like what the earth turns on...looks strange too
you, speedfreak, definitely you. :)
dachef...de+3rd vowel + what the world spins on minus the a
de6/36- has to do with words that refer or point, but it goes a little something like this: de + Roman 9 + I am, he __
LOL nut....berry was a true pirate - i gave him one of my gold hoop earrings...
cheers all, glad I asked cos I wouldve been here till Thursday trying to mankey that b*gger.
i remember ren, i gotta mind like a steel trap.
Thursday next week!!
nut...just don't catch me in the trap!!!!!
you don't want to be caught in it, it's like a steel trap because information goes in and never comes back out again!
thanks tbear
It's no good...can't Babble and watch Supernatural all at the same time...those two hunky fellas...see yousall anon... :)
cnan - you still here? i'm on level 6 and wonder, how long does it go? and you said no one has made the top 20 - how do they do the rankings?
sumfin weird just happened - I had a word in my word list with no points value that didnt exist in Bj's list. When I refreshed it disappeared.
re-enter the word
and what are you drinking tonight Dachef??
dachef...that usually means that word should not have gone in the word list "oops"
now it says it isnt a valid word. It was "indee".
all i need now is the gi5/16 please
really? in 6/27?
dachef - did you go to carnival?
whatever dachef is having...make mine a double! maybe that'll help see some more words !! :)
Dachef in5 as in the type of music id there
beer suthun? * holds out a brewsky *
the in6/24 entered fine. Weird. Ren - yeah, got back yesterday, it was the trip of a lifetime. Now I realise what the term "culture shock" means.
That'll work evan....tanks!
pleasure
dachef - are you shocked...or where they?
whoopee...at long last i have finished
definately me. Never seen a party like it. Almost 600,000 people crammed into a five mile stretch of street with lorries going up and down with bands playing on them. Amazing. Started at 7pm and finished at 6am!!
Well done, Mo!!!!!
what kind of carnival are we talking about
ooooh that one
thanks mab
evan - Salvador in Brazil.
yehaaaaa!
or whatever the brazillians say...
I think these words are all the ones that did not fit in the dictionary and are all laughing very loudly at us all...LOL
ni5/20? presume there must be a roman numeral in there somewhere, but cant find it.
you sure you didn't shock them dachef
ni5/20 is a water sprite, and the roman numeral is right in the middle
a little water elfie, dachef.
evan, from what I've seen over the past week, they're pretty unshockable. Obviously I tried though. ;)
proud to babble with you then dachef!
cheers Vicuna and mab! Got it!
any other eight1 players here?
I play pretty often.
how do you know if you're doing well? and how long does it go? i'm starting level 19 now.
what is eight 1 ??
I don't think there is an end.
the last re5/14? Willing to trade..... What is eight1?
well what's a good score?
and if there's no end how will i get to sleep tonight?
Blaze, eight letters in search of a word, on east of the web. Fun, simple game. hurshy, when you start look at the high scores for comparison.
but i've already started and now i appear to be stuck until i can't hit a target?
Dachef did you get the re? What can happen in euchre.
The address is on Babs Anon under other interests. I think you can click on the link there. I have it bookmarked, not sure of address.
re 5/14 add product made from juniper berries backwards
I had to leave at 6.50pm (that's 12.50 to you players across the pond). I only needed 4 words, which I have just come back to complete. So:- ~*~*~*~*~*fireworks*~*~*~*~*~ to me!
sorry mm, euchre is not a word in my vocabulary I suppose, but will definately file it under "word probably gonna come up on a babble board sooner or later". Any other clues?
Brava Ex-Wren!!!!!!
Help with the si 6/18? I need to write lesson plans but only have 8 words to go.
YEY Exwren. Dachef = euchre is a card game. re+anagram of gin.
si 6/18 - an evening gathering. Rather posh sort of do. Got the re5 - cheers Haz, thats me done.
Got it thanks.
so6/18 is the posh do.
Congratulations, Dachef.
Rah Dachef!!!!!
sorry - being a bit thick tonight. Best I go to bed and try and wake up with a brain that works! Nite all. Thanx for clues.
Okay so I needed the so too. Still need help with the si6
si6/18 - I'll get right on it, yes si****! Now I really am going to bed!
The first part is the male form of address. Now extend it (think of Doris Day as Calamity Jane)
Night Dachef. MM: French for night plus a couple of e's.
Thanks Haz. Got it!
mab so far i have 7305, is that good?
oops. Yes si*** Bob!
Good, musicmom - do you need help with the so6/18?
I don't really know, hurshy. I don't keep track of my score. People get scores into the many thousands.
someone should have warned me - this could take all night! at least babble is finite.
Yes, it just goes on and on and on, until you can't meet the goal.
Nope I got them both Haz. Sorry I was in the grid. I do need the ni5? and the fr6/27 --- I'm being gr******

Bedtime now, goodnight all, happy babbling.
Good night Ex
thanks musicmom...Done..Done..and Done!
Terrific Tim!
Sheryl - how are you doing on the r? do you need more help?
Any advice for a newbie? My b/f got me hooked!
mapendo - play for a few days. If you like and are going to play often, I strongly recommend going pro. Ask for clues --- or scan the log for them Look for weird words.
If you go to the Babblers Anonymous link at the right (in the friends of babble box) you can find a stats list posted by Brandyjack. It will tell you the first and second letters of each word, how many letters in the word and how many points. It's helpful on huge grids and any time you get stuck.
Thanks! What does it mean when someone writes re 7/40? I assume it's a 7 letter word worth 40 points, but what re the first few? The letters?
You are correct. The 7 means seven letters in the word. 40 is the number of points the tiles add up to and "re" are the first two letters in the word.
to save pulling hair out...and staring at de letters all night...help with a de5 please! have the temperature one, the put down and the further one....what's left :) ??

two to go er 5/12 in 5/12 clues please?
er5/12 - past tense of er4/4 in5/12 - the kind of films they show at Sundance
ty Vicuna good clues! sort of a lame note to finish on, though. Couldn't see them!
Congrats on finishing, any way anyhow!
Done. Off to change into something more mardi gras-ish!
Helllllllp...i was reading some of the clues..i dont get the kind of films at sundance..all I can think of is independent..and thats not in the puzzle!!!!! Soooooooo frustrating
lianakate, yes that's exactly what kind of films they are, but think of a shortened form. Also, a perhaps a short nickname for Dr Jones in Raiders of the lost Ark
in + the first de 4/6
Lianakate-did that help?
thanks,fairy.. i had that one..my mind is totally boggled..or, errr..babbled.. but, i dont get the film connection..if the word is in plus what you get to your home when its paid for..ack.
I need the ra 4/4 :) please and thank you.
no, the word is in plus what you do at the end of your life!
the ra 4/5?
gottcha - I didn't get that either.
ra4/5 - itchy skin reaction to poison ivy (no ra4/4)
yes 4/5, sorry, I'm tired and just want this to be over. Short gr 4/7 but a bitch.
Vicuna - Thank You. now maybe I can get onto bigger and better words. Plus, did you notice I got beeped out. LOL I actually typed the word bi*c*h but I got <beep> instead. Thats cool, I guess.
hmmmmmmmmm..if bitch is a word in the puzzle ..would they bleep that too? *curious*
LOL..i have to try this..just because..A female dog is a bitch..
Hi everyone. Finally warm-hunkered down under 2 down comforters. supposed to go to 15-20 below zero tonight, with wind chill. Very grateful to be inside and safe. Anyway, missing 3 words: gi 5, 16 re 5, 14 (the last one) si 5, 10 (not the fire engine noise) Any clues most gratefully accepted!
Well, goodness knows they don't bleep the words you type on your list. So I guess that's the one sort of word you can safely write in chat log without giving them away!
Liana-good question??? You type in a bad word and see if you get beeped. LOL
now..i am typing dangerously...will they beep friggin? LMAO
Liana got beeped....it's not just me going crazy.
No I think frig was in yesterdays gr**. But hellfire what else will they beep out.
gi5/16 sounds like George and Ira G---win, with a different vowel re5/14 - like going back on a deal, with diff second vowel si5/10 - "yes si--" (as in the 6/18, but alternate spelling)
Ever since i have been dating a former Marine..getting beeped is a fact of life for me..Hells bells, I never swore til I was 50..there is hope for me yet
Ok we both got away with some small curse words but I'm sure they will bust for the big ones. lol I was married to a truck driver for 15yrs. need I say any more.....
lol, still laughing at you telling me to type in some *bad* words..ahahahahaha
Since our divorce I've had to work very had to exclude some words from my vocabulary.
Fookin'..lmao hard
vicuna-thank you so much! I'm done. Does anyone need any help?
OOOOO thats sooooo close. You've been practicing.
Eva - Congrats *%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%* *uhmm sorry about the foul language*
i still need 37 words..but am too punchy to finish..I hate going to those lists that give you the two letter beginnings..so I am not going to do so..SO THERE..a pox on the beepers netherregions..lol
Liana-I need 28 to finish but it probably will not happen because I'm tired and I have a my tub running me a nice hot bath right now. A good long soak in a bubble bath and I'll be ready for bed.
i was going to sing.."faer the well, faer the well..faer the well my faerthee fay....But i read your profile..and I lived in Mich all my life..til now..Where are you located?..eh?
thanks faeri....used to run an adolescent day treatment center so not easily offended by ##****%%%%. liana, I know what you mean about the second letter lists, but have finally settled into a comfortable approach. I don't go for that list unless and until I have 25 or below left to go. Then the list helps. with more than that missing it is just too exhausting to search through. But, for those last words, it is very helpful.
*thee,* not the..dang, I ruined my song
I live in Auburn which is 10 miles North of Bay City.
I lived in Okemos..which is a suburb of E. Lansing, ..also lived in Plymouth, and Traverse City
Bay City, Saginaw, Midland area
