I finally quit listening to my 8 track tapes (never liked the Carpenters or Barry Manilow anyway!) But I still have records. And I listen to them. So I really should get a VCR. I think I'm going to just buy them at yard sales until I can afford a really good one that won't wear out....

12:30 am

cybernan... I agree those P words don't exist <g>

12:31 am

ya baby!

12:33 am

zoot and ying aren't words? that's odd. Capitalized, perhaps?

12:34 am

it's YIN and yang, not ying...

12:34 am

Thank you Angelsong ...

12:35 am

this is the quickest i've ever done one of these - well, not quit done, have 1 more to go & am really not seeing it - very frustrating!!!!

12:36 am

angel, I know that. But that ying isn't a word when ywis is... well, it's just WRONG, I tell ya!

12:37 am

freep brings up a good point... what is a freep, anyway?

12:38 am

it's a family word, actually. And also (unfortunately for our family!) the nickname of the Detroit Free Press

12:38 am

what does it mean in your family?

12:39 am

hellen, I'm impressed. I've been stuck on 61 and thought I was a superdooper!

12:40 am

in our family it was more of a sound effect, though I've turned it into a noun. Ahhh, the power of growing up!

12:40 am

well freep, i think i'll be stuck on this last one for eternity, if that makes you feel any better :)

12:41 am

i been on about 10 mins, i got 20 left, this is too small!

12:41 am

lol hursh

12:42 am

are you looking at the stats, hellen?

12:42 am

maybe the sudoku will take up the rest of your day

12:42 am

whatcha missing helen? maybe by some freakish chance... oh you're not a pro so you don't know

12:42 am

nah, i'm fast at sudoku

12:42 am

got the co7/40, but I can't find the 8.

12:43 am

angel look at co 7/32 and think

12:43 am

angel = past tense

12:43 am

and . . . done!

12:43 am

angel - version of co 7/32

12:44 am

congrats Helen

12:44 am

terrif, helen, now you can help me with my last 17...

12:45 am

thx andy - that was different

12:45 am

congrats, helen -- amazing, in fact!

12:45 am

no prob hursh, glad to help - but i bet by the time i'm done typing this you'll have, like, let's say, oh, about what? 2 left?

12:46 am

no, 16 - as usual, one of everything. 2 z's.

12:46 am

well nan, i must say, this is the first time i ever saw a board so clearly - i sure hope it happens again (knocking on the desk here)

12:47 am

whatever happened to zoot suits?

12:47 am

I'm missing the co7/32, which is why I don't have the 8.

12:48 am

angel - i think someone already gave a clue for that one - scroll back a bit

12:48 am

angelsong, co + consonant + a thing you do when you write down something you want to remember

12:49 am

nan, maybe that's what the other 'z' was supposed to be, but was a typo instead, lol

12:49 am

oh 2 p's 2 g's also. i am intrigued by this p7/8 that ppl say are not words - clue?

12:49 am

andy - do you have clue for the other co7/32 for me?

12:49 am

thanks andy

12:50 am

sorry, meant other co 7/40

12:50 am

gromit there is only one co 7/32 - you mean co 7/40?

12:50 am

my mom always said the house was zooey

12:50 am

got both, just before the clues were posted :) thanks.

12:50 am

y/w Leslie Ann stuck at 40

12:50 am

hursh - there used to be a baseball player on the chicago cubs with similar odd name - first name joe

12:50 am

got co 5/16?

12:51 am

one of the few baseball players i might know, excellent, ty

12:51 am

LOL hursh - good for you!!!!!

12:51 am

yeah, meant co 7/40. Do have co 5/16

12:51 am

gromit?

12:52 am

sorry, right below you...

12:52 am

12:52 am

good job helen !

12:53 am

... and for those of us who aren't into baseball? *sheepish grin*

12:53 am

ok, i got oo4, oo4, oo5, what else?

12:53 am

hurshy sounds like a monkey

12:54 am

Andy - Got it! Must be sleepy, couldn't pluralize (is that a word?) for a minute.

12:54 am

bonzo? koko? orangutan?

12:54 am

no prob glad u got it

12:55 am

oh and i have all the O's from the first O too

12:55 am

whichever one goes ooo ooo, ooooo ooo

12:56 am

hmm, i can't get ooer

12:57 am

well, folks, my internet is crapping out so i'll have to stop for the night at 25. g'night all!

12:57 am

leslie - what? not a cub fan? you're on the north side - it's the law - i'll have to turn you in!

12:58 am

night Leslie Ann on a bright side you only got 55 to go

12:58 am

how close we came to getting "monseignor"

12:58 am

nite leslie - i was thinking of another clue, catch it when you come back

12:58 am

i'm in the west burbs! def. not the north side. and i grew up even farther away

12:59 am

oh no, i only have 25 to go, they are all the tricky ones i'm sure

12:59 am

i thought you said niles, am i mistaken?

12:59 am

good - I still got 37 to go but at least got most longer words

1:00 am

nope i'm in lisle. someone else is from niles, i can't remember who at the moment

1:00 am

still haven't found the p 7 & 8 -- not being a baseball fan, that clue was about as useful to me as if I gave the bunch of you a clue relating to curling!

1:01 am

lol nan...i'm a yankees fan...so who are the cubs???? think a hot mucsical sound

1:01 am

why am i so blind???? 11 left

ohhh, ok, maybe i heard wrong - niles/lisle they sound alike - well as rosanna rosannadanna used to say - never mind!

ROFL ren!!!! i ask myself that too every year

1:02 am

np :) good night for real everyone

good nite leslie - sweet dreams

1:02 am

1:02 am

nite leslieann 8-) helen

1:03 am

i got eo4 and en6, what other two?

1:03 am

the only music I see starting with a p, is the scottish sound -- mind you if it is any of this so called pop music that has been introduced since 1970 --- I'm not into that either!

1:04 am

Nan, a protein compound....

1:06 am

OK, I'm done, but I gotta say that last gi was pretty annoying.

hursh eo 6 builds off of eo 4

1:06 am

Okay - have you got the oz 5 - the one that has a diminishing layer? Take off the vowel at the end and replace it with a verb form that sounds like eyes but is spelt in the British way.

Got it! Yippee!

3:58 am

Well done!

morning sprite!

4:11 am

only 7 to go, i think ill sleep on em, nite nite everyone

4:11 am

Luther, you must be king of self control. No way in this world that I could go to sleep with only 7 to go, LOL!

4:13 am

well ive been trying to find the same 7 for nearly a half hour. its more frustration than self control.

4:14 am

:) Still wise, to leave those frustrating 7 for the morning when you are fresh. Sleep well! And feel free to ask for hints and clues if you are stuck.

4:15 am

thanks goodnite and good luck to the rest of you babblers

4:19 am

Good morning, Sprite.

4:19 am

Hi Haz :)

4:20 am

Could someone please hit me with the fish if I try goonies one more time?

4:21 am

It's a long reach, but I'll try.

4:22 am

It is SO almost there!

4:27 am

Argh! Just found this beautiful P9/P8 combo and it is NOT valid? What else would we call the sounds coming from a bagpipe?

4:27 am

Painful.

4:33 am

OOOHHH Sprite - just got a 7/8 combo from your bagpipe non-word. "Sound to make you energetic"...?

4:34 am

amanda, way to go! Thanks :)

4:34 am

or: sound made at a rally after school (US-specific, I know, but maybe you'll have heard of it)

4:39 am

Another nonword combo: area(s) designed for your favorite animal.

4:42 am

And I'm finished so I'd better do some useful things.

4:43 am

Bye Haz

4:43 am

Bye all!

4:46 am

??? Sprite - the one I'm trying for won't work. Animal you keep in your house + area?

4:47 am

That's why it is a nonword combo. It won't take. :(

4:47 am

Ahhhh, now I understand!

4:49 am

This grid is so full with them, I almost can't see the words that ARE valid ;) Well, one more 7 and I'll have the biggies covered.

4:49 am

Sprite, there are no goonies but there is a gremlin - alt. spelling

4:50 am

Got that one :) Can't make it with the Z, alas.

4:53 am

I'm missing one 7 as well. I've got: 3xc, 1xI, 1xo, 1xp, 2xs - what's missing?

4:55 am

1xm

4:55 am

that's what I was afraid of....

4:57 am

I was missing the O, thanks. For the M: there is a row of 3: Mo5/16-6/27-7/40.

4:57 am

*row = series

4:58 am

Ah, thank you. Had the mo5 - put it in a while ago, thinking "that certainly won't be valid" - but lo and behold...

4:59 am

I had exactly the same with the C-verion of that one :)

5:00 am

That one surprised me too - any idea what it is besides a country?

5:01 am

It's also a black tea grown in China.

5:02 am

What! no ZOOT? Surely!!!

5:03 am

hkj, I know, it's a sad grid today. But change the last letter and you have a word :)

5:05 am

im new on this ,how do i know how many words i need to finnish

5:06 am

Becky, one of the three bottom links on the list on the right will tell you all you want to know :) Good luck babbling and happy hunting!

5:10 am

Oh, and for today it is 80 :)

5:12 am

sprite - are you meaning the links like "Bablers Anonymous" ?

5:12 am

I've heard rumors that there's a yucky se lurking in the grid - it's evidently the one s I'm missing. Anyone know what it might be?

5:13 am

thanks sprite

5:14 am

Redhead: yes, those are the ones. amanda: that's the one I am missing too, apparently. Let's hunt together :)

5:15 am

Good Morning Kiddos.

5:15 am

se5/14 - but I don't know what it means.

5:15 am

Thanks Sprite...

5:16 am

Hi mum :)

5:17 am

Good grid today?

5:21 am

Fun grid, but a lot of almost words that are driving me nuts. I googled and found that Se5 is a kind of field rat.

5:23 am

And it is an anagram of "burn superficially"

5:24 am

Yay - got it. Must be off now to do shopping and stuff. Hope to be back later to get the last ---- arrrggghhh - 3!

5:25 am

I need 2 more, an E and a G. The hunt continues ;)

5:27 am

I don't actually get up this early. I've been out and about and to breakfast already... I don't know what to do with myself.

5:28 am

Holly: did you do the sudoku already? ;)

5:29 am

lol. I don't sudoku. hehe.

5:29 am

The IronSudoku link could bring you another addiction ;) Or... you could read a book!

5:30 am

Hehe. I'm sure I'll figure something out... but it's still weird to be conscious during this time of the day. I'm SOO not a morning person...

5:30 am

And that's me done for today. Great grid, but tricky. Thanks for the fun and company, dear gang. Great day/night/whatever and happy hunting.

5:31 am

Good night! :o)

5:32 am

I actually am an all kinds-of-time person. Late at night and early in the morning. Just NOT afternoons. I am close to a zombie in the afternoons. :)

5:33 am

does anyone have a clue for the o7

5:37 am

oz7/48 - to convert oxygen into oz5/22

5:37 am

sorry oz5/20

5:38 am

5:49 am

I've finished, but will hang around for a short while if anyone wants clues.

5:49 am

thats me finished

5:49 am

I haven't looked at the list so I don't really know what to ask for yet...

5:50 am

*sigh\8..i think im gonna have to resort to the list... but down to 17 without it...is the best ive ever done

5:50 am

Congrats, ruthy! And Chris, too!

5:50 am

Did it without the list

5:53 am

I always feel so silly when I have the big word but miss the little one(s) it contains...

5:56 am

How about some I clues... I always have trouble with vowels... I have the places to stay & the 2 gold bits...

5:58 am

yeah jera...i dont have the en6

5:59 am

I have en + si4/6

6:00 am

io4/4 - charged particles. Do you have the past tense of your gold bits, jera?

6:00 am

thats the one jera..ty

6:01 am

*smack* Can't believe I missed that one... told you I was bad with vowels...

6:02 am

Now I just need one more O... the one that starts from the second row middle...

6:03 am

Still mad oingo isn't valid...

6:03 am

jera - think of a singular number, but plural

6:04 am

What the... ptooey isn't a a word???

6:04 am

hello all

6:04 am

Thanks, Chris, I know I tried that... my finger must have slipped...

6:09 am

Thank you... alternate spelling, of course... that's another grey block!

6:11 am

Bah - only 80 words and it's the weekend. Oh well, good morning/afternoon everyone :)

6:12 am

Morning, mac... I wish we could have the big ones on the weekends, or at least not Thursdays!

6:12 am

are there any 8 letter words? help anyone?

6:12 am

I hear that, jera!

6:12 am

I'm done. Gotta run, folks. See you tomorrow.

6:12 am

Help with the p5 please ( not the pi5 that is pi4 + a consonant) I have looked for half an hour and cannot see it.

6:13 am

two 8-letter words

6:13 am

ta

6:14 am

pi5/14 - narrow glass tube for transferring liquid (also plural there too).

6:15 am

I loved making those in chemistry class!

6:15 am

Oh duh, I had the plural but was missing the singular version. Thanks. All done. Anyone need any clues before I go?

6:16 am

can someone tell me the letters & #/# for the 8 letter words?

6:16 am

I don't know how to ask for clues without the list...

6:17 am

pe8/50

6:17 am

co8/50 & pe8/50

6:17 am

co8/50

6:17 am

I have found the longer words often come from the smaller words... esp with the -ing in the grid... that's why I find smaller first... (but that's just me)

6:17 am

ah, interesting. Thank you

6:22 am

Gack... gonna hafta break with 12 to go... back later when I'm warm...

6:22 am

6:23 am

Hi Bex :)

6:24 am

6:27 am

Hello. How is the grid today?

6:28 am

Good morning, gramma... it's a small one

6:28 am

bex... I don't know what the theme is, sorry

6:28 am

Sometimes the small ones can be toughies.

6:29 am

That's true, gramma

6:30 am

Bex, I don't really know the theme for the day. I download them one month at a time. I'm always amazed at what comes up for the day. I'd guess black and white; but, I'm not sure ;}

6:43 am

Hi all - theme today is Black White Ball.

6:43 am

Hi snowy :)

6:44 am

I think gramma got it just right! LOL gramma - fantastic!

6:44 am

Welcome, all, to another small grid......

6:44 am

Thanks snowy. Now my icon makes sense. 8)

6:44 am

Hi macuser -well you were already all ready!

6:45 am

lol, snowy.. so I am... without any effort ;)

6:45 am

Hi movieman :)

6:47 am

just wondering, how many words contain Z?

6:48 am

Don't know how many times it's used, but 6 words start with it

Z is used 13 times I believe...

6:51 am

Just changed my icon to an image from one of THE classic 50's sci-fi movies, so....... REFRESH!!!!!

6:52 am

movieman... is that from... The Day the Earth Stood Still?

6:53 am

It certainly is, macuser...... To coin a phrase..... KLAATU BARADA NIKTO!!!!!

6:54 am

my sentiments EXACTLY, Movieman...

6:54 am

lol, now I remember that phrase! Great movie, indeed :)

6:55 am

Cat will not move.

6:56 am

Hi movieman & Miyavi! - Sorry - washed my hair in the middle of doing the grid- am in a distracted kind of mood today!

6:57 am

LOL Snowy...that makes two of us...I went on BabAnon this morning, now I'm writing a babble parody song XD or trying to...

Morning all Happy Saturday Just finished the puzzle in record time and without a clue from any of you lovely people, used the list but still made it on my own. A first for me. Now I need to learn to do it without the second letter list, lol

6:58 am

lol Sheryl, nice one :)

6:58 am

Congrats, Sheryl! :)

6:58 am

WTG!

6:58 am

6:59 am

Congrats Sheryl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:00 am

Anyone got the 2 eight letter words yet....? And if so, could you clue me up, plz......

7:00 am

haha, Snowy...at least you could set your watch by him...

7:00 am

IO've got a HUGE pile of ironing I could send you if you're at a loose end Sheryl !LOL

7:01 am

I have one, movieman... co8/50

movie the one is a P word is a compound word think of waht cheerleaders have and add your to 5/10

7:02 am

I've got a pe 7 & 8 movieman pe7 -1st 3 letters of a mint + quality of sound + plural for the 8

7:02 am

Good Morning All, may I please have clues for the 8 letter words

snowy ironing has to be one of the things I hate most, I will re wash something just to keep from ironing it

7:03 am

Okay, I'm going off on a coffee run...anyone else?

7:04 am

snowy, thanks so much, now to look for the co8

7:04 am

LOl Sheryl -I must admit that my husband does most of ours -But he'd be glad I saved him a job! I think he's beginning to be really sorry he took early retirement! He says Ishould have been a careers officer, I can find him so many things to do

movie the other 8 is a co is a past tense of the one before it

7:04 am

Thanx snowy..... Still searching for the co8/50......

7:05 am

Tea for me Please Miy- weak not milky , no sugar Ta!

7:05 am

at yer service, ma'am...

does anyone know of another site on line that has a babble type game, I am not ready to start being "productive" yet, lol

7:06 am

Got the co8/50 now..... Ta for the clues.....

I can always find things for the hubby to do, but getting him to actually do them, well, lol, and ironing, I have never seen him with an iron in his hand

7:07 am

sorry sheryl =no -there are a couple of quite good word games on MSN - but nothing that compares with this one. Stopped playing everything else now!

Now sewing he will do, all the mending goes to him, but if I want it really fast, I take it to the tailor, lol

7:07 am

Sher, somtimes I'll play word games on east of the web...popword. or eight. It's certainly no babble; but, can be fun.

7:07 am

clue for the co8/50 movieman? Pretty Please!

I play scrabble on line and do crosswords on line, have great sites for them but since I found babble haven't been on them very much

7:09 am

Snowy - here's a definition: To suggest or imply in addition to literal meaning the 8 is the past tense......

gramma is the website popword.com

7:09 am

My Dad could sew really well but mine does do housework & can cook -it's why I've never left him -I'd hate the fact that he can manage perfectly well without me!

7:09 am

*pings bell* tea's up

7:09 am

Sher, it's "east of the web"

lol, my hubby will do housework, if and only when I specifically tell him/ask him to please do whatever. If not he will do nothing,lol

ty gramma will try it out

7:10 am

hi, all.

7:11 am

Lol. Sounds about right Sheryl...

7:11 am

Morning Angelsong 8)

7:11 am

Hiya, angel!!!!!!

7:11 am

Even if he can see that something like... needs to be done... I think he gets confused... like a small animal.

7:12 am

TY movieman Ty Miy! lovelly! Hi Angelsong & Holly Bug

holly are you saying most wives are in the same boat, lol. I don't know how many times we have had the "talk" about how nice it would be for me to come home and he has pushed the vacuum or did the dishes without me asking, lol

7:12 am

pe7?

7:12 am

yw, snowy.....

7:12 am

Good morning, Angelsong... nice icon :)

7:12 am

lol. Oh goodness... that makes me feel better. I thought mine was like... broken.

7:12 am

Movieman, could you please give me a different clue for that co 8?

lol, holly, a small animal that need to be feed and looked after And to all u husbands out there, no offense, you know who you are

7:13 am

gramma, have you tried googling the definition.....

7:13 am

Angelsong... snowyowl gave a great clue at 7:02 for the pe7 & 8

7:14 am

lol... What I really love... He can watch me work around the apartment ALL day... and like... it doesn't occur to him to ask if I need help. I want to stab him. I probably should not.

7:14 am

no I haven't. I was counting on my fellow babblers

gramma co 8 think a scam artist and add what you might write to a friend, just a short n*** + make it past tense

no you definately should not, you have probalby got him trainied to do some of the things you like and if you stab him you would only have to start fresh with a new one, lol

7:15 am

Sherylr, TY. I cannot believe I couldn't see it at all.

7:15 am

Great clue, Sheryl :)

7:15 am

A block of cheese is quite good to stab when you feel like that Holly! Not that I'd know or anything! LOL

7:15 am

lol. True true. :o)

7:16 am

thanks Sheryl for the co8 clue

ah snowy the block of cheese in lieu of the husband have to remember that one

7:16 am

speaking of the hubby hear him moving around upstair will have to put all my nagging in code now ladies, lol

to tell the truth I'm not married to this one, living in sin. Got married once, never divorced him because I will not get married again, lol

7:18 am

I wish I could hear mine moving around - I need the shopping!

7:18 am

snowy you send your shopping, I try not to send mine, he always comes home with the weirdest stuff and blows the budget for the week. Then I have to figure out dinner with sardines and feta cheese, lol

7:20 am

Hehe. Yes. I do not trust mine to get the right items... so he is not allowed out by himself...

7:51 am

7:51 am

Thanks! Can't believe I didn't see eo4...

7:51 am

Bye movieman. See ya on the flip ^_^

7:52 am

Gramma, i'm stuck on oz7, also.

7:52 am

is oz7 like oz5 and 6?

7:52 am

Cya mac. Thanks for your help earlier.

7:55 am

bluephlox, it's a vowel swap .change your "e" to an "i" and then stick your "E" on the end

7:55 am

thanks so much gram

7:55 am

I think I just gave the most convoluted clue Ever!! Is there a prize?

7:56 am

Thanks, gramma. No way I could have gotten that w/o your help.

7:58 am

I think there's something wrong w/us, that you got that. I think I've had a stroke or English has become my 2nd language 8)

Good morning, just a few left but any clue on en6/24?

7:59 am

Het there marc! en plus si4/6

8:00 am

Err, oops Hey not het..DOH!

thanks gramma, now only some c's to go

8:03 am

Only 1 left! Why can't I see te4/5?

8:04 am

prana to make hay

8:04 am

prana, play the points.

8:05 am

prana..do you have half a te bear?..

prana pl of United Airlines new small airlines

8:08 am

omg... my brain somehow thought that it was a 5-letter word. Thank you all!

Last one so I don't want a real clue but does the first co7/40 work off of the co5/16 before it?

8:09 am

Marc, no, it doesn't. It's a compound word.

8:10 am

I hope that wasn't too much of a clue

8:10 am

you helped me get it prana. thank you.

8:11 am

i dont have a c5/16 ...ack.

8:11 am

5/16- do you like to dance?

8:12 am

err..yes I do. and the plural..am not with it today

8:12 am

here's a clue for the mo7: think of a tropical fruit, then change the first vowel.

5/16 African country and the 7/40 does work off of it as the two letter pl Thanks all I have to go

8:12 am

liana....think Africa

8:13 am

wait, maybe i just thought it was a dance. how about, travel, it's also a place

8:14 am

sandy..thanks..I had it. duh on me..The one i cannot get is the longer version of a long, long time..i have monkey typed my arse off...yuck

8:14 am

try past tense

lian, take off the last letter of eo4 and then add three letters meaning belief

8:15 am

lianakate: the word ends the same as Native Americans.

lian are you working on eo6? Anyway that is the clue I gave you.

8:17 am

yes, mark..I dont know what the heck is wrong with my brain?..still trying..UGH..(indian word)..lol

8:18 am

liana...look very closely at what you just posted...you've written the ending you need for that eo6.

8:19 am

YAY..ty. Mark..i got it with the belief thing, and excluding the s..the s was my problem..

lian eo+contanant meaning long time+ third vowel +constanant+consanant

8:21 am

now that I finally got that word..(thanks to all of you)..i can go on to the other 4,500..(lol, so it seems)

Got to go have a great day and see you tomorrow for more babbling.

8:24 am

I cant believe I have only 12 more to go...generally dont finish a puzzle..i get too frustrated..I MIGHT finish this one..(o happy day)

8:28 am

I love America's Next Top Model

8:30 am

I just need one which escapes me at the moment. en 6/24 ??? I've monkey-typed all around it

8:32 am

Replace the co in co 7/40 with an e.

8:33 am

ExWren: same ending as the co7.

en6/24 en+if you are deaf you use **** language

8:35 am

Did you get it Wren Wren? :o)

8:36 am

I hang my head in shame. I was a Signals Wren, and had to do colours morning and night, raising the en6/24 !! Thank you all

8:42 am

10:14 am

got 'em all without your folks help today -- altho my wife did contribute a few. I've got a bunch of words today with no definitions I can find, though. What dictionary does DrGod use?

10:15 am

the Enable dictionary

10:16 am

aka the "home of random combinations of letters!"

10:17 am

how many words in todays puzzle

10:18 am

80 words

10:18 am

Thanks -- I just looked up Enable: Enhanced North American Baseine LExicon. Unfortunately, it's just a word list, no definitions.

10:18 am

ensign is in the puzzlw

10:19 am

Ensign IS in the puzzle

10:19 am

thx for BLURTING words

10:19 am

ljbs, please don't print actual words

10:23 am

Spellacked, you can get definitions from Dictionary.com

10:25 am

Or from More Words

10:27 am

co8/50 is co4/5 + no5/12

10:28 am

Clue for pe7 ?

10:29 am

where is everybody, am I the only one in?

10:30 am

not the only one; just lost in thought to find a word, or 40

10:30 am

ExWren, I'm here... just busy trying to solve words without looking at clues (yet)

10:31 am

You musst be very clever stidmama, I need all the help I can get

10:32 am

Ohh -- I didn't say I was finding many! Just looking...

10:32 am

pe7: vigor + sound

10:32 am

pe7 - it starts out like the talk given before a big game, but instead of talking it ens with a single musical timbre.......

10:33 am

Hi Brandy, haven't seen you for a while

10:34 am

haven't played much lately. tried that iron sudoku this morning. way too much logic for fuzzy old brain like mine.......

Hi there. I'm new here. I discovered this site last week, and have just signed up for the Pro version. Just wanted to say hello. :)

10:35 am

hi jasmine....welcome!!

hey jasmine

I've got 27 words left to find on today's puzzle. I'm very happy to have found one of the 8 letter words! :)

10:36 am

ExWren - love your black/white ball!!

I can see myself becoming quite addicted to this site. I love word puzzles like this and Scrabble.

10:36 am

Hi jasmine, and a big thank you to (((brandyjack))) who doesn't know me but I love the helping pages you set up!

10:37 am

hi stid, matt, BJ...all!!

10:37 am

one to go!! then i giving up forever!! well i mite have a peep at 2morros grid!

10:37 am

I'm with you there brandyjack, I've tried it a couple of times, but I always run out of options. I know the theory, but can't work it out

Newbie question... when people are asking for or giving out clues and say things like "co7", what does this mean?

10:39 am

Jas - welcome to the club!! Ex & BJ - once you get the hang of Suduko - it's not too bad....those little green numbers are wonderful!!

10:39 am

It means it's a 7 letter word starting with co, and the 32 following it means it's worth 32 points

10:40 am

what green numbers?

10:40 am

Jas - the word starts with co and has 7 letters sometime people will put the point value too eg. zo 5/20

10:41 am

welcome jasmine, what part of the world do you live in? A co4/5 means a word starting with co, it has 5 letters and is worth 5 points

10:41 am

in Sudoku, when you 'select' the number, you can do <shift> click to put a potential "little" number in the grid - one you 'think' it might be (or several it might be)

Cool. Thanks, EasternBlue. I thought it meant something like that. I'm hungry now, so I think I will give this puzzle a break for a while and come back later. Nice to meet you all! :)

10:41 am

bye Jas - catch you later!!

10:42 am

Wren - looks like she's an Aussie!

ExWren - I'm Australian, but I spend most of my time in England at the moment.

10:42 am

you know, there are times when it pays to read the guide. I spent a large chunk of the morning building a spreadsheet that does what those little red and green numbers do.. Aaaaarrrggggggghhhhhhhhh hh!

10:42 am

EB, my grid was full of 'little' numbers!

10:43 am

thanks brandyjack I finally got it; so many uncommon words in babble.

10:43 am

oh, BJ! yikes!! Wren - mine usually is too, until 'something' magically falls into place...

10:44 am

Can someone please tell me where that Sudoko site is that everyone is talking about? Thanks.

10:44 am

don't forget the plural

10:44 am

look at the top right of your current browser for the orange and black icon.....

10:45 am

god - on the right - Dr_God has a icon/link for "Iron Sudoku"...he just put the site up about a week or 2 ago

10:45 am

Top right hand side of the page Iron Soduko

10:46 am

You will have noticed that I hate the game so much, I cannot even spell it!

10:46 am

well, I hear some tea and toast calling my name....

10:47 am

wren - it takes me 3 times retyping to spell it correctly!!

10:48 am

catch you later BJ!!! enjoy the tea & toast (altho' how can you eat something after it's spoken to you is beyond me!!)

10:49 am

only way I know of to shut it up.....

10:49 am

LOL!!!

10:52 am

I'm off for a break, too. Then it's time to check the log for clues... I know when I'm stumped!

10:53 am

bye stid....

10:55 am

11:21 am

I've just looked up the def of the mo5/16 and have to share it as it is SO babble, it's a currency BTW. 100 m5/16 = 1 tugrik LOL

11:22 am

11:23 am

11:23 am

st6/24?

11:23 am

Even Websters Dictionary does not give a definition for se 5/14.

11:24 am

FMitch - everyone knows that 100 mo 5 = 1 turgik, please!! ROFL!!!

11:24 am

ROFL EB

11:24 am

thanx inge. first one i ever finished or likely to!!

11:25 am

short cigars, Harp

11:25 am

st6/24: that cigar from yesterday, followed by its plural.

11:26 am

thanks. i got it right away yesterday, go figure...

11:26 am

se 5 = "In Zaire, a monetary unit introduced in 1967, equal to 100 makuta" according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

11:26 am

so se 5/14 is a word but mosh, goth & zoot are not, so sad. Hi, I'm kinda new too.

11:31 am

thanks

co8,50 any help will be greatly apreciated

11:31 am

a toddler takes his first ****

11:32 am

Past tense of co 7/32

11:32 am

bookgurl - the rocks + letter sometimes used as a vowel

11:32 am

st6/24 something you shouldn't throw at glass houses

11:32 am

book- you will kick yrself, un plural the s7 cigars

11:33 am

Thanks, FMitch--I am kicking myself!

11:34 am

LOL don't you hate it when you miss those ones, I know I regularly do.

11:34 am

eo6/21? the earlier clue didn't 'take' for me.

11:34 am

eo 6/21 is kinda of like egotism

11:35 am

harp - I wasn't getting it either...I kept thinking community?? communi on?? LOL!!

11:36 am

eo 6 : beginn with meaning for a long time, then add 3=-letter ending

11:37 am

me too, eb, I thought community, communion, never thought of the ussr.....

11:38 am

we penguins must not know anything about that!!

11:41 am

Good! I finished my first puzzle. No more 199 word puzzles for me!

11:41 am

km- wait until the over 400's pop up!!

11:42 am

400!? It would take me a week!

11:42 am

unfortunately - we only get 24 hours...*sigh*

11:43 am

that last zo is not a word....it's a suffix!

11:45 am

woo hoo! off to grade papers now...

11:45 am

but sometimes the longer ones are easier, since there are lots of plurals, past tenses, etc. Once you get one word, it leads you to fifteen more....

11:45 am

bye bookgrrl!!

11:46 am

not sure how you get 80 from this puzzle... i'm stuck around 50

11:46 am

On my first puzzle, currently at 55 words. Someone mentioned an se5. Is that on the left side or the right?

11:47 am

on the left

11:47 am

llc - the left...

11:47 am

welcome llc, it's on the left.

11:48 am

I've got it as left

11:50 am

sorry, i don't see babbler's anonymous, nor do i know what "second letter" is

11:50 am

Thanks folks. Still working on it, but at least now I know I'm looking in the right place.

11:50 am

harpjane, try a different past tense of go.

11:51 am

got it! That was my last word. btw shouldn't goest be a word? I go, you go, thou goest?

harpjane: he go** to the pub

11:52 am

travelgirl, babbler's anonymous is near the bottom of the Friends of Babble links on the right.

bah too late..

11:53 am

Travelgirl - under the links called "Friends of Babble" (under the big Iron Sudoku icon) is a link called "Babbler's Anoymous"...if you open a 2nd window, you can then click on the General option & then stats...

11:53 am

Hi Jee!!

I have 16 left to find :( uuh

11:55 am

HI Eastern Blue! How are you doing on the grid today? Doesn't look too bad.

11:55 am

Jee - 12 to go...I'm multi-tasking too, so it's taking a little longer than I thought it would!!

11:56 am

At least this one won't take up the whole day like some of them...Plenty of time to catch up on those weekend tasks....or not....ha!

11:57 am

Anyone want help before I wander off?

12:01 pm

congrats stid - you're obviously not in Roch. NY where there's a light snow!! 8 )

yes, pe7.36

12:03 pm

The best clues for pe 7/36 were that it sounded like a 50's singing group; also that it was pe + the consonant again + "a musical sound" Can't remember who wrote those clues, but they were great.

THNX woo!

12:05 pm

done. bye.

12:06 pm

bye harp!

12:06 pm

Thanks EasternBlue -- no, other side of the continent, near Olympia WA. And one of my peach trees is starting to bloom! I love my garden...

7:24 pm

no4/5 also plural of a french word meaning "name"

7:25 pm

st6/24 - please

7:25 pm

st6/24 = cigar I think

7:26 pm

the other st 6/24 is like the st 6/18, only with the sometimes vowel in place of the second s

** is usually for lesbians! No really I was only going up, not down so I missed Oscar no**. Which is a better clue... But thanks. :)

pluralize st 6/24 for a 7/36!

7:32 pm

Thank you!

no prob

mo 4/5 ...rise above

7:36 pm

si4/4 not the homonyn for sign

7:36 pm

only one si4/4

7:37 pm

Yikes!

7:41 pm

bye for now. Thanks everyone for the help in finishing!

I'm stumped on MO 6/27 and In 7/40. No amount of monkey-typing is helping!

7:51 pm

in 7/40 is past tense of 5/14 mo 6/27 add an e to word above (5/16)

INGE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Was so stumped on those 2! Mad about mo! It was right in front of me & i tried every variation! I'm done!

past tense of which 5/14?

7:56 pm

past tense of in 5/14 of course

thank you.

7:57 pm

Congratulations to MarqueeMarc!!!!

8:08 pm

hey... I'm looking for the my second st 6/28 ... not 'rock' related

8:09 pm

good grief that was so wrong! I meant... my second st 6/18

8:10 pm

I shouldn't post from bed st 6/24

8:14 pm

Yay! 80 words, 1257 pts, hope that does it....First time I've finished! And before 7:30 my time....Cool!

8:16 pm

Stoner -- hm...is that a literal username? ;)

8:17 pm

Guigrrl---Not anymore...........Ahhh...those were the days!

8:18 pm

:) LOL -- the past is a good place :)

8:22 pm

Woodchick---st6/24...think smelly cigar...rhymes w/ cartoon character Boo-Boo's best friend.

8:23 pm

I've got that one...it looks like there's another?

8:25 pm

Woodchick---sorry...st6/24--th ese kinds of fields are hard to plow...

8:27 pm

Duh! Thank you :)

8:28 pm

I suppose I could have said my name with a different last letter.

8:28 pm

By the way...Fireworks?

8:29 pm

nope. I've got 8 more

8:30 pm

anyone have the st 7/36?

8:31 pm

St7/36 ....page down to 8:22

8:31 pm

thanks stoner :)

8:32 pm

i didn't have the plural (whoops)

8:35 pm

so what's a "good" score for a day?

st 7/36 if you get this you be smokin'

8:38 pm

oh come on it doesn't know zoot??

8:44 pm

a good score - the amount of points varies from day to day bc there are different numbers of words - many people get all the words

8:44 pm

But it takes a suffix like zo4/9...

8:49 pm

I know I'm a little late, but is there a theme today?

any other clues for mo 6/27 ...help!

8:51 pm

any clues for the oz words?

8:51 pm

Anyone have a hint for gi5/16? oz7/48??

8:52 pm

Fireworks for Stoner... Way to go! --**F**I**R**E**W**O**R** K**S**--

8:53 pm

oz words all have to do with that hole in the layer above the south pole...

8:54 pm

gi 5/16 is sort of a British spelling for a word meaning "gadget"

8:56 pm

thanks stidmama!

oz 7/48 ...this one has to do with the atmosphere as well - i don't see it.

8:57 pm

Angela, I think the theme for today was "black and white ball" some folks had penguins, and there were a couple soccer balls this morning...

...any other hints, perchance?

8:58 pm

Thanks stid - I'm not staying long, just curious... What about tomorrow?

activists are concerned about oz*** and other stuff

8:59 pm

brazen -- think of what you would add to any word when you want to change something into it. Again, a British spelling

9:00 pm

Phew! Finally finished! This is my first completed puzzle!

9:00 pm

Angela, I just popped back on after being gone all day, not sure if anyone said what the theme would be. I hope I can afford to go "pro" soon so I can have fun with icons :-)

9:01 pm

way to go woodchick!

9:01 pm

YAY!!! (((woodchick))) **F**I**R**E* *W**O**R**K**S**

9:02 pm

Thanks!! I'm happy to have finished...even if it was a short list today! Now I'm off for some shuteye!

9:02 pm

It definitely makes it more fun to do the icons. I went pro about 6-8 months ago but just recently started changing them.

I started playing last week & went pro today...this addiction finally got to me; now I'm gonna have to govind a 'ba' and see if they have 12 steps

for oz 7/48 - a british variant thereof? ...i still don't see it ...argh.

9:04 pm

DONE! Second time finishing, but first time without help from the Mrs. That oz7/48 was darn tricky. This is too much fun. Thanks everybody for all your hints and I'll be here for the next one (only 3 hours away)!

9:05 pm

Way to go TommyShag... **C**E**L**E**B* *R**A**T**E**

9:05 pm

It is VERY addicting...which explains why I signed in for only a few just to see how many I could get before I pass out! All but 21 but I'm fading fast...

Some of these were SO obvious...but not after staring at them for the day...hope tomorrow is another finisher

9:06 pm

**F**I**R**E**W**O**R**K**S** for all who finished today!!!!!

9:07 pm

brazen -- the last part of the last oz sounds like the things you use to see with... ends in the second vowel...

9:07 pm

renfield did you complete?

thanks again stid ...i'm looking.

9:08 pm

yes guigrrl about 1:30 am this morning....

GOT IT!!! it was indeed a 'british variant'.

9:09 pm

I was glad today was a short puzzle. I got some yardwork done, spent time with my mother, and still took a nap! Always a successful day when I can get in a nap...

Man...only 48 words so far. Though I guess not too bad for what is really my first time here. I'd like to know what all I'm looking for, which means I guess I'll have to upgrade. :)

9:09 pm

grats ren :)

9:10 pm

thanks guigrrl...are you finished?

9:11 pm

knee -- follow the Babbler's anonymous link in the box of "Friends of Babble" There is a list of how many words, the total points available and a couple more lists that tell you how each word starts. Not as easy as the pro window, but nice as a help. And AngelSong's Babble Page is my other favorite at the moment.

9:12 pm

not yet -- just started a few hrs ago -- sleeepy (east cost USA) so i probably won't today. curious -- film noir fan? (pic is very dramatic -- film noir style)

9:12 pm

9:12 pm

9:15 pm

9:15 pm

LOL guigrrl! i'm trying to inspire myself to think!

9:16 pm

in 6/24 = in 5 plural in 7 = in 5 past tense

9:16 pm

GW -- no problem - believe me :) and i understand the lack of sleep :) get some tonight! smaller -- :) i love it!

9:17 pm

9:20 pm

story of my life ;-)

9:23 pm

are you serious smaller

9:24 pm

LOL smaller

9:25 pm

brazen....it's a currency of a country located between china and ussr.....also a big character in blazing saddles played by alex karras

9:25 pm

Sorry I disappeared there -- the first child is finally getting over a week-long bout of "whatever" and now the other one has it. Luckily, they are old enough (11 and 13) they can say what's wrong!

9:25 pm

guigrrl, LOL! Oh yes! I drive 35 miles to work everyday and i finally have cell service about 20 miles from here. LOVE rural. (please note tone when reading)

9:25 pm

Aw c'mon -- Zots isn't a word?! But it's sounds so cool!!!!

9:25 pm

renny ROFL!!!

9:26 pm

smaller said a word

9:26 pm

smaller -- rural MUST have its good points :)

9:26 pm

GW <<<HUGS>>> LOL

ren ...thanks. i thought of that, but thought 'nawww' couldn't be THAT easy

9:27 pm

Hey smaller -- "stidmama" is my logon in lots of places (yahoo, google, etc) A combination of our last name and my permanent job title. Ren, I live on the West Coast of the U.S. near the capitol of Washington state. We also don't get reliable cell phone service at home...

9:27 pm

LOL brazen....

9:28 pm

brazen -- you learn quickly in this game -- if it might even possibly show the slightest signs that it may be thinking about being a word, it probably is! ;D

9:28 pm

stdmama - we had beautiful gardening weather today as well

9:29 pm

sing-song-copy-cat voice, *smaller said a word*

mo 6/27 comes up with no def. in dictionary (dot) com ...odd.

9:30 pm

renny, you're just brown-nosing dr. god

9:30 pm

haha haha haha - smaller :-P

9:30 pm

renfield are you in so. cal? god you guys have beautiful weather (and people) on the west coast!

9:31 pm

no guigrrl - i'm in texas along the gulf coast smaller double :-P

9:31 pm

LOL Stidmama!!! it's amazing how many times that job title can be said in a minute, isn't it?!!

anyone have a (even partial) def. for mo 6/27 or 7/40 ?

9:32 pm

renfield -- LOL been there...done that :) i grew up in new orleans and travelled to tx a bit :)

got the word, just can't figure out what it means.

9:33 pm

gui -- I grew up many years in the Tidewater region of Virginia (paternal unit was military). I loved the changing seasons of the other coast, and the warm waters... can't stand the waters off the west coast!

or is it a variant of mo 5/16 somehow?

9:33 pm

add an e to mo 5/16, then pluralize it. Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but it works!

9:33 pm

nice stidmama-- i'm in nc now :) east coast is nice :)

9:34 pm

brazen, as in my post to stubie at 9:20, I understand your pain. It happens all the time.

perhaps it's esperanto ...or klingon.

9:35 pm

not enough hard consonants to be Klingon :D

9:35 pm

brazen, do you know that if you click on the question mark to the left of a word it brings up a dictionary page with the definitions (usually)?

esperanto it is then.

stid - yep, thanks tho. this one comes up a blank.

9:36 pm

klingon, what about klingon? there's no word for jolly, so don't go looking for one.

I thought of Blazing Saddles for mo 5/16, etc

9:38 pm

well fiddlesticks! gotta go! happy babbling!

9:38 pm

bye smaller - see you later

9:38 pm

g'night smaller!

9:39 pm

me too shadow

9:39 pm

(*smaller*) -- G'nite :)

9:40 pm

me three, Shadow :) Congrats on going pro, as well, Shadow :)

9:40 pm

ren - how is mez?

now, that movie will forever be etched with today's word list; not sure that's good or not

9:41 pm

shadow and i were caught in a time warp at the flip last night......the transporter caught us mid flip

9:41 pm

It's a great movie -- so it must be a good thing ;)

GreyWoulf: it only seemed logical, and a small price for my addiction. The bottles of Scotch, however, will be another matter as I continue to play

9:42 pm

to5/14, please:)

9:42 pm

good wolf....he had a ruff time thurs & fri, but better today..

9:42 pm

LOL, Shadow :D

9:42 pm

shadow -- what kind? glenlivet for me :)

9:42 pm

that's hedley....

to 5/14 a 1920's/30's term for looking good

9:43 pm

to 5/14 is like to 5/10 only with the last letter changed out for the sometimes vowel. I think it means high-falutin'

a girl after my own heart...both glenlivet & glenfiddich for me, though I can be encouraged to sample all of the other single malts from time to time

9:43 pm

I think Thurs and Fri were rough days all around, ren -- thur night was when Seb wouldn't let me get more than 3 hrs sleep -- glad to hear he is doing better (*Hug*)

9:44 pm

I got it, thanks:) y'all are spiffy

9:44 pm

sorry about your loss of sleep wolf......hope you get some rest this weekend.

9:45 pm

Shadow and guigrrl -- I applaud your taste in Scotch :) Next question is -- how old? I prefer it old enough to vote, personally :)

9:45 pm

Hi GreyWoulf

9:46 pm

Hi Berta :)

shadow ...you should try brichladdich single. good stuff.

9:46 pm

GW -- at LEAST 22 :)

logically, the more mature, the better. But anything will do in a 'pinch'; but minimu of 12 year old stuff, and 18 is preferred; it just depends on what's on hand, and who is 'buying'...

9:46 pm

I'm going to go see what movie the rest of the family is watching... see you-all after the flip!

bruichladdich, sorry.

9:47 pm

I am just trying this out. I see that you are on.

is brichladdich available in the US?

9:48 pm

You do know who I am don't ya

believe so ...tho not through direct import. meaning you can't web-order.

9:48 pm

Berta -- just sing out if you have any questions -- we'll help as best we can :)

9:49 pm

Berta -- how could I not? :D

bruichladdich.com - check it out.

9:49 pm

hey berta

9:49 pm

why is the message board at the bottom of the screen.

I will; it will be my next research project; probably next weekend

Hey renfield how are you

9:50 pm

Why are your feet cold, HollyBug?

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

hey holly!!!! did you study this week?

9:56 pm

Woulf tell me how can I bring the message board closer. To the playing screen.

9:56 pm

good eveing everyone! I'm new and I need help!

9:56 pm

hey guarana (like the herb?)

9:57 pm

there are 17 I still need and am stumped.... zo 4/9 and zo5/20. I have the words associated with area.

9:57 pm

Berta -- no way to move the message screen -- but if you hit the jump down button at the top of the chat log -- it will pop you down to the board and then jump up to come back

9:57 pm

yeah, like the herb

9:58 pm

Can anyone tell me how many words are suppose to be in here?

9:58 pm

Zo4/9 - Move from one .... to another in a MMORPG. zo5 - Passed tense

9:58 pm

What I usually do is have multiple windows open so I can hunt in one and track the log in the other :)

zo is one of the ones

9:58 pm

80 words today

9:59 pm

Sorry, zo5 is not passed tense.

9:59 pm

pe7 and pe8 are pretty cryptic

10:00 pm

Berta - click on the Babblers Anonymous link in the Friends of Babble box to the right -- then click on the General Topic, then on Daily stats and you will get a breakdown of the word in today's grid :)

10:00 pm

10:12 pm

Hi GW. How's what? Still negotiating the due date (keeps getting pushed up). Now it is looking like the first of August-about the 5th...who knows?!? :)

10:12 pm

kay ren, check your yahoo, i was typing your address from memory.

10:14 pm

Any help with the 2 words for the bottom P?

10:15 pm

I meant -- how tricks? I have been having serious keyboard dyslexia the past few days ;D

10:15 pm

And re:due date -- there is only one person who truly knows and he/she aint telling until the last minute! - LOL

10:16 pm

I'm still not getting two of the zo words... there are four total, right? I have the two that are like the signs: No Passing Zo**(+plural). Any other clues? pretty please?

10:16 pm

So... Here's a question... do the husbands/wives also babble? I tried to talk Joe into it... but he looked and looked and found two words... so I'm not sure he'll ever be a die hard.

10:16 pm

Gotta go for right now -- will be back for my last 20 in a little bit :) (would be done by now, but having too much fun chatting!)

10:17 pm

kooooollllll nut!!!! i love your photos!!!!

10:17 pm

GW-Gotcha, things are good and yes, that is my attitude about the whole thing. I've got nothing else going on at the point so I'm just flexing with the whole Dr/due date drama...it will be when it is.

10:17 pm

Guarana - the other z rhymes with moon (and the plural)

10:17 pm

see you in a bit GW

10:17 pm

rolotom- what do you mean by bottom p? I have all the p-words, so I might be able to help.

10:17 pm

thanks ren, hubby nut has the red hair.

10:18 pm

but i'll probably never be in them. i'm the only one who ever takes pictures.

10:18 pm

zo 4 = zo 4 /9 that you have - last vowel then insert 4th vowel after 1st vowel then make it plural

10:19 pm

oh, thank you MAMA BEAR! I had no idea that was a words, but surprised I didn't try..

10:19 pm

HollyBug - no babble hubby here!

10:19 pm

holly, my husband will babble with me at times...he actually finds lots of words but then when I'm scrolling up and down trying to chat with friends, he gets annoyed. Sometimes if I'm tired but still want to finish, he'll finish for me too. Good guy he is but babble is still more my thing.

10:19 pm

your welcome!

10:20 pm

sweet nut!!! i'll try to get my kodak gallery back up. i love your kitkat and pupster!!

10:21 pm

Thanks Guarana. I have seven P words but am missing two. The stats claim they are from the P in the bottom row. Am new at this. I know I am missing one each of 5, 7, and 8 letter words. How can I ask without giving away the words I have found?

10:21 pm

rolotom - do you have the pe 7 and pe 8 words?

10:22 pm

oooh. I love pet pictures.

10:22 pm

the pe 7 is pe* (meaning energy ) + on your cell phone you have a ring t****...... and the 8 is a plural

10:22 pm

I have more picture of my cats than I care to admit.

10:23 pm

No, I don't. Any clues? Thanks very much.

10:23 pm

thanks ren, i luv my kit kat and pupster too - it's actually two kit kats, but no one can tell them apart but me. and i just realized that i DO have on pic of me and my mom. i'm so excited. a picture of me!

10:23 pm

me too holly...i love pet pictures!!

10:24 pm

rolotom - see my post at 10:22 for clue

10:24 pm

me three - they are replacing children after all!

10:24 pm

way to many pet pictures than I care to mention in my house too!

10:25 pm

Hehe. Joe actually wrote up, printed out, and made me sign a "contract" promising to not get anymore animals... I would take them all in if I could... They all have such unique personalities.

10:25 pm

Thanks Mamabear! Got them!

10:26 pm

Any hints on the eo 6/ 21?

10:26 pm

you're welcome, rolotom!

10:26 pm

i bring in no more pets, it would screw up the ones i have.

10:26 pm

10:26 pm

Do links work here? Like to be posted?

10:27 pm

10:30 pm

http://portfolio.iu.edu/hhinkh ou/Pets/figaro.jpg

10:30 pm

ren, i remember taking pictures of the field where we built our house. people made fun of all the pics i took of it, but i wanted to remember what it looked like before we invaded it.

10:30 pm

OKay. That's totally all. :o)

10:31 pm

no5/10.. it's like a sound. or the thing on the front of your face with an extra vowel

10:33 pm

nut - and trees we've planted..trees struck by lightening...food we've cooked....yada yada yada memories!!!

10:34 pm

ok holly - i see the big gray cat - is that a russian blue?

10:35 pm

food we've cooked? how does that impact your yard? WHAT have you been cooking ren?

10:35 pm

Hehe. He's just a grey tabby... His name is actually Demon... but we've taken to calling him Big Cat... because he's... big.

10:36 pm

ok holly - i see the white and red cat - his he a turkish angora? how big is the gray cat?

10:37 pm

He was a "found" cat. He was on the tennis court and he mewed at me. So I brought him home. :o)

10:37 pm

nut - we cook out on an open fire....

10:37 pm

Hello! I have 1243 points, am missing one word, s 5. Can anyone help me finish please?

10:38 pm

That's Mikey... He's my needy kitty. He wants to be in the middle of everything you're doing. When Joe and I watch tv on the couch... he sits between us and watches too.

10:38 pm

I have the pe8, could someone give me a clue for the other 8? And my, having bable pro is fun! :-)

10:38 pm

Big Cat probably weighs... 20 ish lbs.

10:38 pm

rolo - se 5 is an anagram of ythe word used to describe to burn slightly

10:39 pm

um...holly...is "big" really the word you're looking for? :)

10:39 pm

mikey - similar to my chockie, or hubbynut's chockie. he is quite jealous of me, wants to be first in the hubbynuts affections.

10:39 pm

Sleeky, it's the past tense of 7/32.

10:39 pm

HELP I CANNOT get in/5,6,+7 cansomeone please help I am not seeing it

10:39 pm

lol. He's just a lil chubby. Shh. You'll hurt his feelings. :oP

10:40 pm

Guarana - the Oz/7 is still a dah for me - any other hints?

10:40 pm

wow!!! 20 #'s...we had a maincoon that weighed 19 #'s now i see the tuxedo cat in a box...my tuxedo maine coon likes to get in boxes and eat them

10:41 pm

shorty in 5 = gold bar, in 6 = is in/5 plural, and in 7 is the same in 5 gold bar made past tense

10:41 pm

Finally finished this one! Goodnight all!

10:41 pm

Tux Cat... is Figs. Figaro. He is VERY VERY vocal... and when he wants food... he cries and cries... not that he's ever starving... They are just little pig like cats.

10:41 pm

Thanks renfield! First complete finish for me! Very exciting.

10:42 pm

They love boxes... though... any paper product seems to suffice. They once fought over who got to lay on a bit of paper towel that had fallen on the floor.

10:42 pm

**F**I**R**E**W**O**R**K**S** for rolotom!!!!!

10:42 pm

magbag- hope this isn't too much of a clue, but for british endings, here's an example: realize, realise

10:42 pm

So yes. Now I'm totally up for other people's animal pictures... now that I've gotten to talk about my babies. :o)

10:43 pm

**F**I**R**E**W**O**R**K**S** for kneestabber

10:44 pm

ren, only maincoon i've ever know was a real bi 5/#

10:44 pm

still have seven to go!!! clues for the go4/6 and go5/18 (have go4/6 that is a variation of the verb)

10:44 pm

opps.. forgot the question mark in my haste

10:46 pm

hollybug - couldn't get to your pics?

10:46 pm

? guarana - go 5/18 is really sticky (go + 2 more vowels + sometimes vowel)

10:46 pm

ha! thank you.. now have all the go's :)

10:46 pm

Hrmm. I don't know how to make it better. That's my school site... http://portfolio.iu.edu/hhinkh ou/Pets/figaro.jpg

10:47 pm

Thanks Guarana

10:47 pm

nut - i had to type the address' in to see the pics. my tux maine coon puts me to bed everynight and sleeps under my chin

10:47 pm

I don't have them up anywhere else... I don't believe.

10:47 pm

oh, yay, magbag. glad you got it. that was a really hard one for me

10:48 pm

Lol. Are your cats social? Or are they more "cat like"?

10:48 pm

ty ren I FINALLY got it

10:48 pm

oh my gosh, under you chin Ren? How do you sleep?

10:49 pm

Big Cat is my "cat like" cat... he likes to perch up as high as he can and look down on people like he's superior... (which clearly he is)... but he also loves to lay in bed with Joe and I and coo...

10:49 pm

holly,one of mine is sitting on my keyboard under my hands as I speak (type)

10:49 pm

kris - i have trouble sleeping as it is...but when he tucks his head under my chin - i go right to sleep. my other cat thinks i'm her kitten and bathes my head....she likes my hair...

10:49 pm

He also has a thing for electronics. If your cell phone rings... he wants to be your very best friend and sit on you. Even strangers.

10:50 pm

ok shorty!!!

10:50 pm

I have one of those, Kris. Hehe.

10:51 pm

ren, we have a hair obsesed cat too--we say it is the shampoo we use but who knows...such strange and fun little creatures! (good thing GW is not here since he has that undying love for cats!) :)

10:51 pm

en6/24?

10:52 pm

okay, the stinkerbug is like a real cat. he loves me and disappears at the first sign of anyone not me. chockie is a lover. he'll go after anyone for attention and loves to groom hubby nuts goatie. no one sleeps with me cause i toss and turn too much.

10:52 pm

refresh for my tux maine coon

10:52 pm

You know what I love? When they are smelling things... and they like... forget to close their mouths. That's the greatest thing ever. lol.

10:52 pm

And who says I am not here, kristi ;) Man, but I do love serendipity :D

10:52 pm

does the puzzle close in 10 minutes, or one hour 10 minutes?

10:53 pm

1 hour and 10

10:53 pm

hollybug - my dog is the opposite about phones. if you let them ring, he howls. sometimes we don't answer the phone just so we can hear him going at it.

10:53 pm

awwww! What a perfect little face! :o)

10:53 pm

guarana - en6/24 = A commissioned rank in the U.S. Navy or Coast Guard that is below lieutenant junior grade. or like en**** pulver en + si 4/6

10:53 pm

ah, we've been caught! cats, what cats?

10:53 pm

en 6/24 Wesley Crusher

10:53 pm

pfeww.... I thought I was runnig out of time... certianly I can get four words in over an hour, right? :)

10:54 pm

Tomorrow should be cat face day. :o)

10:54 pm

G-absolutely!

10:54 pm

yes guarana - go - go - go

10:54 pm

kristi -- I have 3 cats of my own -- Twitch is the momma and when she was younger, was so bonded to me that she would come when I called her :)

10:54 pm

ren - such a sweet looking cat! holly, you're totally right about the sniffing thing.

10:55 pm

oh, that you sonipitts. Yay Wesley!

10:55 pm

okay, then who is it that hates cats? Torgone?

10:55 pm

Refresh for a tortured Mikey!

10:55 pm

wolf - we whistle for our cats...of course we whistle for each other when we're lost in the store as well....

10:56 pm

ren -- he is gorgeous! And as for sleeping arrangements -- all three of mine fight to be next to me on the bed -- many is the mornign I have woken up cos I can't move with one at my head, one curled next to my belly and the last behind my knees!

10:56 pm

Figaro is the one that's the worst about the sniffing. His mouth will be like... totally open.

10:57 pm

GW-We were all here chatting about cats one day and someone (a male...few of those around here) was jokingly giving us a really bad time...thought it was you but clearly not! It was actually really funny b/c they really didn't like cats

10:57 pm

co 7/32 and 8/50?

10:57 pm

aww. I want to whistle and make Joe come to me. hehe. You've trained yours well, Ren.

10:57 pm

LOL wolf!!!! holly...oh - he has a seet face as well!!!

10:57 pm

can we spell sweet?????

10:58 pm

chockie comes when you call his name...but like it said, he's desperate for attention.

10:59 pm

lol. Isn't that the nicest feeling...? They come trotting for the door when you come in... and you know you're missed.

11:00 pm

soni - co 7 = to suggest or imply or co* (slang for prisoner) + no 4/4 co 8 - make it plural

11:00 pm

okay holly, that trotting to the door thing only applies to my dog.

11:01 pm

LOL nut!!!

11:01 pm

okay. My cats run to the door when I get home. Joe was making fun of me today because I was talking to them while planting my flowers.

11:01 pm

OK -- I don't have any close ups of my cats, but here is one of Twitch that let's you see her most distinctive marking -- she has a flag on her tail instead of a white tip :)

11:01 pm

gracias, ren

11:01 pm

i remember that kris...but i don;t remember who it was,,,,,

11:02 pm

aww. Another tuxy cat. :o)

11:02 pm

<3 the tail!

11:02 pm

Actually, just a magpie -- she doesn't have the proper bowtie and gloves

11:03 pm

11:16 pm

Am going to fall asleep soon, and am still missing one word: no4/4. I have the french word (plural for name) and the word that means a short letter or reminder.

11:16 pm

Guar -- plural of negative answer

11:16 pm

guarana: Not yeses.

11:17 pm

oh and hi Angel. So much happens while you're away!

11:17 pm

oh kris - sleepy face!!!!

11:17 pm

gi 5/16?

11:17 pm

so I see, Kristin. I've been off making pages.

11:18 pm

Ren...yes sleepy or grumpy (his two dispositions) His sister is all black and would not serve well as an icon...such is life!

11:18 pm

a gi5/16 is a whatchamacallit or a doohickey

11:18 pm

d'oh, Angelsong.. that was so easy! Thank you! I'm done! First attempt and probably final win. I took me a few hours, and it looks like this was a short puzzle. :(

11:19 pm

Angel, I was basically saying (very unclearly) that you arrived while I was out changing my icon (so as to excuse my late welcome of you). Sounds like a busy time with all your pages!

11:19 pm

gi 5 = is a thing a ma jig....gi + snakey consonant + abbreviation sor state of missouri

11:19 pm

Guarana, it is very short, by usual measures. Good job finishing!

11:19 pm

Guar -- it gets easier with time --- you will be surprised at how quickly you get to recognise the odd words over the ordinary in the grid :)

11:19 pm

d'oh! I always thought that was spelled with a 'z'!

11:20 pm

sorry GreyWoulf- I meant to thank you too. My eyes are too tired

11:20 pm

And -- Yayyyy for Guarana!!!!!!

11:20 pm

**F**I**R**E**W**O**R**K**S** for guarana

11:20 pm

kristin, it's fun, and I'm learning a lot as I work on them.

11:20 pm

Yeah Guar!

11:20 pm

wolf - sis you dee marblowesr7???

11:21 pm

soni -- those variant spellings will get you everytime! ;) In this game, knowing British spelling variations will come in handy :)

11:21 pm

or is that did you see......

11:21 pm

hey Ren: I have a question....

11:21 pm

woot! :) thank you everyone

11:22 pm

hey mark - how's the music biz in texas treating you?

11:22 pm

ok angel.....

11:22 pm

sorry -- got caught in a thread :) Hi mark!! and thanks :)

11:22 pm

I have a feeling that I'll be upgrading soon (next paycheck!)

11:22 pm

do you think Faeriekae will be upset with me? I made a Resource page for her, even though she didn't ask for one....I don't want to upset her...

11:23 pm

well, Ren, been more concerned with getting a job...now that seems to have worked itself out i can concentrate more on music

11:23 pm

Good evening, again, my spouse is playing now (((stidhat))) -- we'll see how many he can get in 38 minutes! Darling, this is your formal introduction to everyone, say howdy.

11:24 pm

hey Grey, how r things?

11:24 pm

Hi

11:24 pm

halo to the stid family! :)

11:24 pm

angel....i think it's a very great honor to have you spend your time making personalized pages for individuals. i'm sure she will enjoy the baruch (blessing)!!!

11:25 pm

I may need to put babble and ironsudoku on my blocked list. I come to these sites too often.

11:25 pm

thanks to the short puzzle I'm the closest I've ever been to finishing! 9 left. My brain is short circuiting on the pe7 & 8. Any hints? Are they related to anything previous?

11:25 pm

hey stidhat!!

11:25 pm

stidhat mutters hello from his corner of the room, where he is frantically typing away...

11:25 pm

Hello kristinc, no time to talk, gotta find like 80 more words! aah

11:26 pm

type on Stids-still finishing here too!

11:26 pm

lol, stidhat....

11:27 pm

the pe 7 & 8 are not related pe 7 = pe* rally or pe* talk + ring to 4/4 then make it plural

11:27 pm

mark -- things are going pretty good for me -- the new job is looking good for being taken on permanantly and the family are all healthy. I am looking forward to the day I get to tell Lenscrafter's that I don't need them anymore though.

11:27 pm

i got it! the second i ask for help, sheesh. it's sort of like the sound of a cheerleader's voice ;)

11:27 pm

Ren and Grey, i have begun tinkering with some melodies... CD #2 is a definite possibility this year!

11:27 pm

pe 7 & 8 are not related to other words...i didn;t finish my thought

11:28 pm

good news mark!!! austin city limits????

11:28 pm

well, i just finished my first week at my new job (long-term temp, hope to go full-time) at MICROSOFT!

11:29 pm

way to go mark!

11:29 pm

Ren, i'd love to play in Austin...it's only like 5 or 6 hrs from here...we'll have to see

11:30 pm

That's great, mark!!! --- CD #1 is on my to get once I am hired on permanantly list. I haven't added to my music library in awhile so I think I am due :)

11:31 pm

congrats on the new job, Mark, we know several people who work at Microsoft in Redmond, WA (and a couple who retired at embarassingly young ages) -- but our job paths led to less lucrative and less time-consuming employment...

11:31 pm

of course, CD #2 would be easier to do if more of CD #1 were to be sold...(yes, that is a hint)... :)

11:31 pm

mark -- Let's make a deal -- you send me good vibes to be taken on perm and I will do the same for you ;)

11:32 pm

no 4/4, but not the short message one

11:33 pm

lol, Grey! i concur. absolutely. i definitely want to go full-time with them, and i'm sure u wanna go full-time at your place....

11:33 pm

no 4/4 should be as plain as the no** on your face, but with a typo...

11:33 pm

Hey, Mark......I live in Austin!

11:34 pm

Thanks! How about oz 7/48?

11:35 pm

well Angel, i don't mind playing for u and Ren, but i would like to be able to pay for the trip down....concerts, etc will be easier to schedule once the job thing is firmed up

11:36 pm

oz 7/48 when you get what we have in our atmosphere in a can and you spray it. usually you'd think it's spelled with a z.

11:36 pm

GW, I'm adding my own good vibes to Mark's for you.

11:37 pm

soni - oz 7 = if you have oz 5 insert the singular of are (or the 3rd vowel + snakey consonant) before the last vowel

11:38 pm

eo 6/21?

11:38 pm

well, i gotta head to bed...i play at my church, so my fingers need their sleep...

11:39 pm

eo6: a very long time + a suffix for a belief system.

11:39 pm
