12:29 am

4:26 am

There are 9 e words.

4:27 am

thankyou haz

4:27 am

You're welcome.

4:39 am

does anyone else keep wanting to have sentient?

4:39 am

Just you, Atalante, just you. Good morning!

4:40 am

morning! but I'll bet you'll see it all the time now!!!

4:40 am

Yes - I'm doomed.....

4:41 am

sory :)

4:41 am

sorry - even!

4:42 am

don't I just sound sooooo sorry *grin*

4:46 am

Sorry - was called away momentarily. Yes, I can just feel the regret oozing from you.

4:46 am

and what did we do to deserve INs and REs in the same puzzle!

4:48 am

Well, I don't know - I have been a model citizen but who knows what others have been up to?

4:49 am

something Very Bad, I think

4:50 am

oooh there's a word very like the one I was complaining about not being in the grid earlier. different beginning

4:51 am

The good thing about having re and in in the same grid is that you can make a word out of them!

4:51 am

1 down, 206 to go :P

4:52 am

I'm up to in7/28 ... amazingly I got all of the other in's

4:53 am

Keep going - there are two in7/28

4:53 am

darnit, I thought I was nearly done with in.

4:55 am

this is strange - the 4 letter fluffy valentine's day word - I can't rememebr the last time we had that! You'd think it would be fairly common in grids

4:55 am

AND look at the other lo4 - goes with it beautifully

4:56 am

OH! true! hadn't noticed that!

5:00 am

LOL my silly cat - am sitting here with VH1 on TV in the background. Cat has stayed quite happily asleep through everything until they played Bjork. Then she immediately glared at the TV and stalked out of the room

5:02 am

gah, got the last in ... the one which ends in e. Didn't know that was a word!

5:02 am

A discerning cat. I never could get her music (not that I tried) but I concluded that anyone who could try to wear a swan dress didn't deserve to be understood.

5:02 am

I agree. She is a kitten of great taste at an early age

5:06 am

duh they both end in e. I'm going to get some sleep - I've got a cold and obviously my grey matter needs a rest. Goodnight.

5:06 am

Goodnight, caloli - I hope you feel better soon.

5:14 am

Okay, if my family are to eat this week, I'll need to get myself off to town. It's cold and wet and I hate grocery shopping. I'll be back later. Happy hunting!

5:14 am

urf :( good luck! hurry home!

5:15 am

hiya everyone! :) whats todays picture theme?

5:16 am

actually, bex, I have no idea!

5:16 am

oh well! curmit it will be then!

5:18 am

yeah, I'm sticking with my undine for a while!

5:18 am

hello everyone....a very quick visit !!....we just got back on after a power cut !!.....and why can't we have 'to be seated again' ?

5:19 am

very fetching bex !!

5:29 am

Hello, everyone!!!!!! Welcome to yet another brain-taxer!!!!!!

5:42 am

wow there's 2 V words I thought I'd never have to type after leaving uni!

5:48 am

morning all

5:49 am

morning!

5:55 am

Good morning all! Any Firefox experts here - I've got what might be a stupid question...

5:56 am

I'll try and help if I can ...

5:56 am

any clues for the 2nd he-4-5

5:57 am

ummm - the other day I managed to shove my floating QuickNote off the side of my monitor and I can't seem to get it back. Any ideas?

5:58 am

no idea, sorry :( I don't use Quicknote ...

6:00 am

Maybe AngelSong will tune in soon - I got the QuickNote idea from her... There's an he4/5 that is a character's name on Battlestar Galactica...?

6:01 am

hello.

6:02 am

hello cliff : )

6:03 am

never saw so many e's in a puzzle before. morning sha :)

6:05 am

Perhaps we could swap an e for an a? Morning/afternoon all Quite nice grid today so far.

6:06 am

Hi Mitch!

6:06 am

Hey amanda, how's it going?

6:07 am

hi mitch.

6:09 am

Pretty well, thanks! I've had to cut back on my Babble-chatting to make myself get some work done, but it's Saturday! Nice grid for a weekend morning (well, early afternoon)!

6:10 am

I was trying to do the same last week amanda, but it is hard not to pop in and say hello, and then you get sucked in. Babble has a way of blurring time!!! LOL

6:11 am

Wasn't Oin one of the dwarves in The Hobbit?

6:11 am

today's theme is shoes! :-)

6:11 am

That's why I haven't even said hello all week - knew if I started I wouldn't get out. So I just lurked

6:12 am

Yes he was Douglas - why?

6:13 am

I just got here, and what do I see staring me in the face? Oin!

6:14 am

Ah, I see. Could be worse!

6:14 am

el 4/5...whatever

6:15 am

If I recall correctly, he had a brother named Gloin

6:15 am

...who's not in the grid. And I don't think any of the rest of them are either, although I haven't tried...

6:16 am

Right again Douglas, I may have to dust off my copy and read again.

6:18 am

just found a fishing net...

6:19 am

"faints" just had a peek at the list and there are approx 32 re's, I was feeling so positive about the grid having passed the 1/2 way mark boo hoo!

6:19 am

I want noir to be in the grid

6:20 am

i hate re's.

6:20 am

jove is in the grid, as in "By jove!"

6:21 am

I think most of us do cliff - they can be so tricky to find.

6:21 am

"By Jove" Capital letter

6:21 am

pretend isn't in the grid, but I want it to be...

6:22 am

just pretend its there then

6:22 am

Hi Atalante Meant to ask yesterday, are you going to post yr undine pic on yr web as I would love to have a look at a bigger version, the icon is so small.

6:23 am

I just learned a new word, with a Scandinavian origin, uff da!

6:24 am

let us in on it, Douglas!

6:24 am

I wish it was mine!!!!!! Its by Waterhouse, an artist whom I simply adore. A bigger version is here: http://www.johnwilliamwaterhou se.com/images/content/waterhou se/hi/150.jpg

6:25 am

It's one of the words in the grid that I've never seen before...I was bluffing, seeing if it would take a Spanish number, only to be told it was a type of whale!

6:25 am

I bet you could do a wonderful interpretation of it in your own wonderful style.

6:26 am

it is - one of the smaller baleen whales

6:26 am

*adds to the list* :)

6:26 am

What's the whale start with?

6:27 am

I put a picture of an inia up at Crossword Bebop yesterday, that was in yesterday's Babble...

6:27 am

Did you see the latest effort? It severely hampered my Babble efforts a few days ago! http://www.deviantart.com/devi ation/31424463/

6:28 am

S, amanda. and its plural whales

6:28 am

I couldn't resist when I saw the words "hairy snout"

6:29 am

Ah, that one - had it already. That's one on my list of "no idea what it means but babble always takes it" - thought it had something to do with earthquakes!

6:30 am

Good morning everyone.

6:31 am

morning Eva

6:31 am

morning eva :)

6:31 am

and morning Merp!

6:32 am

morning Eva and merp!

6:33 am

Merp says mrrrrp to you to. Has not yet vomited or bitten or pulled over any plants this morning. Being suspiciously patient. Wonder what surprises await me downstairs.

6:33 am

cliffopa-I don't think you can possibly hate re's as much as I do!

6:33 am

ahhhh - that slightly uneasy feeling when you just *know* something unpleasant is waiting for you ...

Good morning to all

6:34 am

how many REs are there?

6:34 am

And it is mandatory to step in whatever it is with bare feet.

6:34 am

oh? i think i'm right up there with the top re-haters.

6:34 am

of course! preferably in the dark for extra effect

6:34 am

33 re's

6:35 am

cliff-is that your cat?

6:35 am

Hi all :) 33 re words today :/

6:35 am

there are..... 32 re's! Love the pic Atalante, Hi eva and Merp, Gotta run BBL got work to do.

6:35 am

urf. 9 to go then

6:35 am

hi Chessy. Haven't seen you and your beautiful globe thistle in a long time.

6:36 am

Good morning sheryl! The Manolo would love the shoes. They are super-fantastic!

6:36 am

it was one of my mom's. his name was "Mr. Cat" but i've changed over to today's theme of shoes. refresh.

6:36 am

What a gorgeous cat. Looks like an ocelot.

6:37 am

cool shoes, cliffopa!

6:37 am

Hi Eva :) It's a photo of a sea holly I took - love its blue flowers ...

6:37 am

Think I'll stay with the cats. Don't really have a thing for shoes. Is there a specific scientific term for shoe fetishism?

6:38 am

eva - Mr. Cat's fur was very odd. felt like a wild animals, coarse. we used to wonder if he had something wild in his lineage.

6:38 am

3 re's to go

6:38 am

Never heard of a sea holly before. It looks just like a globe thistle. Is it a water plant?

6:39 am

Eva - also known as eryngium - not a water plant, but does look like a thistle ...

6:43 am

Oh, wait...I'm receiving a message from Karl on my implant chip...

6:43 am

that sea holly is pretty cool...

6:44 am

thanx Douglas :)

6:44 am

REs done. Phew!

6:45 am

wow . . . kudos, atalante

6:46 am

86 left to go and gotten very sluggish. Off to feed Merp and take a walk. Not very inviting out there this morning. Back on with the hat, mittens, boots, scarf. But I've never seen as many robins as this year. Flocks of 20-30 all in one place. Can't wait for the peepers to start up.

6:46 am

yay atlante!!!

6:47 am

now just to rest to go LOL! *groans*

6:47 am

eva, re the robins, don't you think they get bigger and fatter every year?!

6:47 am

the robins have invaded my neighborhood too. about 40-50 in my back yard right now.

6:47 am

just so I can be thouroughly depressed....how many re's are there Atalante? Don't want to look at the lists yet.

6:47 am

32 apparently (though there are rumours of 33). I've heard 32 more though

6:48 am

well, I'm hoping there's 32! Haven't looked at the list to confirm

6:48 am

Groan. only 12 to go then

6:48 am

but for once there aren't any weird weird RE words. stupid ones, yes, but nothing utterly out of the ordinary

6:49 am

i don't even have half the re's yet. did i already say i hate re's :(

6:49 am

Merp looks out at the birds and does that wonderful ack,ack,ack,ack thing they do when the blood lust is just too much to contain.

6:50 am

*melts* I love it when they do that!

6:50 am

speaking of stupid-I think the reresay (wasnt that a word a few weeks ago) really took the cake!

6:51 am

oh eva, i miss that cat chatter. the 2 i have actually do the growly-whine thing. kinda scary.

6:51 am

Not that we live vicariously through our cats. Heaven forfend!

6:51 am

I can never believe resit isn't allowed. Its SO obviously a word

6:52 am

hear hear Atalante, I can only assume it's hyphenated ...

6:52 am

Then there's the middle of the night gutteral, "I've got a dead thing in my mouth" hunting victory cry which lets you know you'd better wake up quick or whatever it is will get consumed on the bed.

6:52 am

or dropped on your chin as a present

6:52 am

Ah, Atalante is in the anger stage regarding the ENABLE dictionary...

6:53 am

EWWWWWW! really?

6:53 am

You know, this is not making me longingly yearn to own a cat...

6:53 am

i have a big himalayan male who doesn't know how to speak real cat. he says oooooww. trying to teach him the me part, but he's kinda old. 15 now.

6:54 am

I'm in the denial stage...if I chat about cats for long enough the re's will enter themselves.

6:54 am

one of my cats once brought me some rabbit intestines in the middle of the night as a present. I woke up with slimy cold stuff on me

6:54 am

that's a pretty awesome cat if he killed a rabbit.

6:55 am

Lol Eva ...let us know if it works!

6:55 am

he came off better in a fight with a fox once. says everything! he was a big, vicious ginger tom who turned into a kitten around me

6:56 am

i don't have to deal with dead bodies anymore 'cause my cats don't go out. a coyote ate one of mine 3 years ago so i keep them inside.

6:56 am

Go for it Douglas! That's extreme Atalante! Some breeds have strange vocalization patterns. Siamese are known, of course, for never shutting up, and Maine coons, of which Merp is partially, often have very small meows for their large girth. ooowwww sounds quite nice to me.

6:57 am

my kitten - who is still tiny - has the loudest voice ever. she is half burmese, and has certainly inherited her mother's burmese howl

6:57 am

Merp stays inside too because of the coyotes, but gets the poor things which come into the house. I should hang up a sign in mouse saying "Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here".

6:58 am

the oooooowwww doesn't sound too good in the middle of the night when he (beethoven) is angry that the other (zoey) is sleeping with me. scares the cr** out of me!

6:58 am

Would a cat eat a vo 4/7?

6:58 am

yes. and then probably throw up, at least some voles are pretty toxic

6:58 am

yes douglas, but probably just the insides.

6:59 am

*lola wades in through all the cat chat*...Hi guys! : )

6:59 am

Douglas - shoe fetishist. So now we know. Good morning/afternoon to you.

7:23 am

douglas, now you have to get yourself a handbag (mainly so that the nosey players...i.e. ME!, can see more about you) : )

7:23 am

si7 - change round the letters of mathematical si4/4 and add a chemical type ending

7:24 am

7:57 am

Hi Angel! Nice shoes! I've been waiting for you! I've got a small Firefox problem - think you might be able to help?

7:58 am

I'm back...hi sprite! : )

7:58 am

*hugs*

7:58 am

what's the problem, amandacath?

7:59 am

Sprite, have you had any of the new squeezy hugs yet?? {{{{{{sprite}}}}}} : )

8:00 am

The other day I managed to shove my floating QuickNote off the side of my screen, and I can't get it back. It happened once before, so I know there's some way, but I can't remember how I did it!

8:01 am

have you tried opening Quicknote from the Tools menu?

8:01 am

Wow lola, that was some hug! :D

8:01 am

that's how i always open it

8:02 am

...thought you might need extra to catch up : )

8:03 am

I did :) Thanks!

8:03 am

Never mind! The old trick - ask a question and you remember the answer.

8:04 am

over two hundred words, yippee skippee day!

8:04 am

Heeey evaN! : )

how's eveyone doing today? Sure glad its the weekend

8:05 am

there sure are some sexy shoes in here, my cats don't fit in.

8:06 am

I love your cats evaN! : )

angel i didn't get the email with the link to your page, have you had a chance to get to it yet

8:06 am

Yeah, but your feet fit in them better!

8:06 am

diversity, eva!

8:06 am

thanks lola, picked them for babbler, hope she gets to see them!

8:07 am

evaN, they make me want to go striding out across the soggy marshes! : )

8:08 am

At least my favorite P word is in here. And the plural :)

8:09 am

sprite, I hope you mean the kind chap who carries your suitcase in the posh hotel! ; )

8:09 am

lola, actually had to go buy some boots, been walking in the woods and keep twisting my stinking ankle - but i couldn't afford cats - brb, i gotta cut up som strawberries.

8:10 am

Well errrr, no, not exactly, but you are close :) I am sure he's got one.

8:10 am

LOL! Sprite, behave! I can't get into trouble today! : D

8:11 am

Actually I started to worry about myself after finding those two first of all :)

8:12 am

lol, I started to worry when I found the lo4/7 last! : D

8:13 am

LOL! You did NOT! :)

8:13 am

...but the P words do kinda jump out at you, don't they? ; )

8:13 am

er...not last, first!

8:13 am

Rising to the occasion maybe?

8:13 am

You've got to be kidding - realtor is trademarked but that ne8 isn't?

can someone pls give a clue for the po 8 the second one pls

8:14 am

depends which way you make it sprite ; )

8:15 am

Well, that would depend on the position, of course!

8:16 am

Sprite! LOL! : D

8:16 am

the po4, 7, 7, 8 all go together - the thing, making it 2x, and the one who makes it - if that makes any sense at all

8:18 am

hi all

8:19 am

Hi gem : )

8:20 am

hi lola you ok?

8:20 am

amanda, I agree! Don't forget the Ne9 while you're at it.

amanda must have made sense because i got it, lol

8:20 am

yes thanks, and you? How's the revision going?

8:20 am

does highlighting things count as revision?

8:21 am

Sure it does!

8:21 am

of course!...did you use pink hi-lighter though??

8:21 am

yay thats good then jks

8:21 am

mmmm, strawberries...

8:22 am

200 words left to find, gah

8:23 am

I am pretty sure I am barking up the wrong Po4 tree, because I can only find one 6/7 "doing it" combo there.

8:27 am

amandacath, I was away changing profiles. how did you open QuickNote?

8:27 am

is the po4 in that combo the person who writes verse?

8:28 am

Lol, thanks. No, it was the ruby or tawny one. :) Now I got them, pfui.

8:29 am

Ok, I'll try again: the po4/5 you've got, right? When he/she goes about his/her business, then he/she po8/45, or they po7/32 When he/she is going about his/her business, then he/she is a po8/45

8:31 am

So it's 4-7-8-8 and not 7x2? In that case I got them all, thanks :)

8:31 am

Umm, let's see if I can explain it - when it's off the screen and I right click on it in the bottom bar, I get the extensions for something to do with my monitor, then I can "send to" my monitor - and boing, it's back where it's supposed to be

8:32 am

Yes Sprite, you're right - I knew I'd make a mistake in there somewhere

8:32 am

thanks amanda : )

8:33 am

Thanks! :D

8:33 am

clues for the 9's?

8:34 am

uugh! these RE's are...revolting!

8:34 am

funny, i thought petro was a word, must be local slang.

8:34 am

R9 people who are very sorry N9 fabrics that keep you warm when wet

8:35 am

'nut, you may be thinking of petrol.

8:35 am

Should have been called 'petrovol'. Just 'cause.

8:36 am

well, no, actually, the hubbynut and i say petro - maybe we just made it up - i dunno.

8:36 am

message for jean thanks love got it

8:36 am

Now sprite, you can't make up words. Only Dr God can do that! ; )

8:36 am

lane said a word!

8:37 am

lain posted a wo-ord, lain posted a wo-ord ;)

8:37 am

sprite, I don't get the Ne9 clue at all. do you have another?

8:37 am

Are you two going to force me to use the mommy voice??

8:38 am

no problem iain glad to help

8:38 am

Angel - the suits divers wear are made of the ne8-9 combo

8:38 am

funny, but i keep feeling like porn should be in this puzzle, alas, it isn't there.

8:39 am

angel, sounds like 'Finding Ne**' (pixar film about fish) without the third letter and what a bird does to keep clean : )

8:39 am

nut, lol! Me too! : D

8:40 am

I want envelope!

8:40 am

have that ne 9 and the re9, which other am I missing?

8:40 am

et9/54

8:40 am

Lola, that's NOT fair! I was even thinking about a beautiful R9 for putting back my favorite Ps... Angel, start with 'new' and then 'before' and then two more that won't give you any trouble anymore.

8:40 am

but porn would be so much more interesting - we should petition dr-g for one dirty word per puzzle.

8:40 am

there's an et 8-9 combo that I'm working on

8:41 am

nut, that's a fab idea! : D

8:42 am

Got it - to make something last forever?

8:42 am

Actually, 'porn' is in the grids quite often :)

8:43 am

oh boy - two grey boxes, granted easy little greys, but grey none the less!

8:43 am

sprite, my mind is boggling 8 )

stuck on the pr 7 can someone give a clue pls, i'm afraid to go on to the re's lol

8:43 am

Way to go, e'nut :)

8:43 am

Do pe5/12 and pe7/32 count?

8:44 am

what's the theme today? shoes?

8:44 am

I'm keeping my lemons!

8:44 am

pr 7 is a child aged between 0 and 12

8:44 am

right you are bookery

8:44 am

Nah, they sound too scientifically.

8:44 am

any hints re words begining with j can't seem to make any?

8:44 am

amandacath, there's also a 6 in that same area.

8:45 am

Jean - there aren't any words beginning with 'j'.....

8:45 am

hey movieman! : )

8:45 am

Well, there are, but not in this grid.

8:48 am

pr7 = pr = 2 vowel = t4/4 anyone thave a clue for or5/10?

8:48 am

Which one of the 6 of them, Sheryl?

all of them, lol

8:49 am

that should be pr + 2nd vowel + t4/4

8:49 am

The or5/10 - maybe it's short for birdwatchers?

haven't really started the re's just looking at the list and losing my mind

8:50 am

or5/10 add anagram of sin

8:52 am

9:50 am

kole, just add a consonant to the en 5

9:50 am

Peri, I'm fighting with it right now. Any clues?

9:50 am

any clues for the er 5?

9:51 am

'morning, 'nut!

9:51 am

Hey all! I made myself finish the evil re's before chatting... that was tough!

9:51 am

artlady, he7- plural of a man's name - who knew

even were you talking to me????

9:51 am

en6 = comes in any clues for in 7/28 (I have one, need the 2nd)?

9:51 am

jera! how ya doin bud?

9:51 am

oh peri, that's weird! Thanks!

9:51 am

thank you ylleria!

9:52 am

I have no IN words yet

9:52 am

hey art lady - taking a break from cleaning - i'm doing the drives my husband crazy type cleaning.

9:52 am

Pretty good... tired from being up half the night with Gwyd & his ear infection... but had a bath with my mint soap & feel quite refreshed!

9:52 am

I guess if I knew my electrical theory better I'd have known that one... ;-)

9:52 am

artlady, your'e welcome glad to help

9:52 am

oh 'nut. Cleaning is against everything I stand for.

9:52 am

poor gwyd!

9:52 am

One "in" is to bury, one works in a hospital

9:53 am

Well, not quite everything. I just hate to take time away from the really important things to clean...like Sudoku (done) and Babble!

9:53 am

hey peri - try in 5/10 - sort of dead

9:53 am

thanks, Jera

9:53 am

Yeah, he was pretty out of it all day yesterday, too... got some new meds & the doctor is putting him on claritin at night.

9:54 am

hmmm, this is a go round where i get all those things that my poor eyes are drawn to - the vent on the oven door, the inside if the fridge handle, the seal around the fridge and the dishwasher - its a q tip kind of day.

9:55 am

I have never finished a suduko, though I've tried many times... guess I'm not alone, though!

9:55 am

er 5, anyone?

ThIs GaMe Is KiNdA AdDiCTInG! Lol

9:55 am

oh 'nut. You are on a cleaning jag. I did the oven/fridge/floors last weekend. It did feel good!

9:55 am

whats the sudoku level today? i never did look at yesterdays.

9:56 am

Jera, I got hooked altho I resisted for months. There's a huge group at my school addicted, but most do the paper version.

9:56 am

Medium nut. But it's really easy.

9:56 am

sorry natsha, yeah. i was wondering how difficult it is to type like that, and yes, this game is addicting.

9:57 am

artlady, kinda grosses you out to see all that gunk, doesn't it? i have to figure out how to get the can opener apart now.

9:57 am

er5 = think of the parts or sections of a song, then drop the first letter

9:58 am

I just buy a new canopener... they are cheap enough to replace once a year...

Oh ItS nOt All THaT DiFfIcULt To TyPe LiKe THiS YoU GeT UsE To It AfTer YoU Do It OfTeN My FrIEnd BeCkY Is ReAllY GooD At TypInG LiKe ThiS YoU GoT To HAVe A BenDaBle PiNkY FoR THe ShIfT KeY ThOuGh Lol

9:59 am

jera, that's true, except mine is under the counter, and it took hubbynut four hours to figure out how to mount it, so i'm not keen on going through that process again as i am resident helper.

10:00 am

so long as your not going out of your way on our behalf natasha

10:00 am

The only problem is, Natasha, it's really hard for some of us to read... :-)

10:00 am

last he6/21?

10:00 am

okay, i'm going to spend some more quality time with the q tips.

10:01 am

ch1212 - thanks I feel a bit stupid I totally ignored the R at the top of the grid - thanks

11:02 am

okay, i have 99 words without a clue list -- should i go ahead and make my day easier, or... ??

11:03 am

stidmama, you must not be old enough to remember GO GO BOOTS! I wanted a pair so bad when I was about 13 or 14. Nancy Sinatra sang the original "Boots are made for walkin" and wore them. :)

11:04 am

oh -- is _that_ what the song is about? I always thought they were about hiking boots... and yes, i just missed out on go-go boots, born 1966.

11:05 am

roncook..? huh? ne8/45

11:06 am

stidmama: 66 is my year too. but i had a jr.high teacher that was all about gogo boots. not pretty.

11:06 am

LOL stidmama ... no, hiking boots are what is featured in John Denver's "You Done Stomped On My Heart, and Mashed That Sucker Flat" (no kidding!)

11:07 am

roncook -- i got it! fig-- it's that fake leather/rubber, synthetic stuff, i think they make wetsuits out of it?

11:08 am

fig: ne 8/9 is the material used in making wet suits for diving.

11:08 am

HOW COULD I MISS THAT???OY1

11:08 am

and of course, there is a 9 (plural) after the ne 8

11:09 am

a good plural makes my day. sometimes miss those classical plurals fromlatin...training the brain...

11:09 am

ch1212 I remember go-go boots & the Sinatra song. Guess that makes me officially... OLD!

11:09 am

not old...experienced.

11:10 am

lol, thanks fig, that does have a nicer ring to it ;)

11:10 am

oh no macuser... just 'seasoned' :)

11:10 am

Well, that's it for me... can I help anyone?

11:10 am

yep, as I keep reminding my husband who is two months and three days older than me... and who just turned 4 decades -- he is OLD and I remain young! for another couple months, anyway!

11:11 am

YAY Jera!

11:11 am

11:16 am

Never mind!

11:17 am

11:19 am

si7/28 si + 2nd vowel + opposite of day

11:19 am

No Freckle, that is the proper word for the organ.

11:20 am

freckle, depends on what you mean by "bad." they're scientific words, but they're not slangy.

11:20 am

THanks mac!

11:20 am

You're welcome, minski :)

11:20 am

otoh, there are a lot of scientific words that I wouldn't care to discuss during dinner...

11:21 am

hello everyone... I see I'm arriving amidst a conversation about one of "those" words... timing!

11:22 am

If we begin to list the other words for pe5, etc., we will never come to the end of it.

11:22 am

*gulp* I just saw the list of re's. Slightly overwhelming, yes?

11:24 am

lol mab... I could say something about your comment, but I'll refrain ;)

11:25 am

macuser... I was thinking the same way & voted for restraint as well !

11:26 am

I just started & will have to dash soon but I did find the po 7/32 & following 2 8/45s, anyone need clues?

11:26 am

darn. can't provoke anyone.

11:27 am

8 /45's would be useful

11:29 am

peester, the cluse for the 8s would be much appreciated! ((hi))

11:29 am

wow! hey, when'd you guys come in!

11:29 am

mab, I was actually trying to think of brands of organs that start with P... (Forgive me, I'm in the middle of the Holy Week Music Vortex....3 practices today, for example) So I was thinking, Hammond? Hohner? Pipe Organ? lol.....

11:29 am

mab, i live in a household of males... i hear so many variations of potty mouth words... :-P

11:31 am

harp, don't forget Piano... i mean, not technically an organ, but good for practice (if you don't have access to the real thing, hammer away on a good substitute, right?)

11:31 am

I am missing the last 2 S words. They are the se 8/ 40 se 5/ 10 Could someone please help? THanks.

11:31 am

okay folks, my te** is going to sit in with me and help find words... fair warning!

11:31 am

po 8/45s.... if you have po 7/32, just add r for one and s for the other,if you don't have it: take the po 4/5 word for person who writes verse and turn it into a verb with ending like to publicize or adver****

11:31 am

11:35 am

12:08 pm

Artlady, maybe she'd take some hot lemon tea with honey....soothing...

12:09 pm

lol chic, it's nice to have your email, but i meant your yahoo profile name!

12:11 pm

macuser - not following - am i wrong in assuming you are referring to herpes?

12:11 pm

12:27 pm

ty hurshy

12:27 pm

sorry to hear Holly.. I broke my pinkie toe and it still looks gnarly

12:27 pm

lol, that she is. but what it reminded me of was when i called her earlier this year to tell her that this other teacher was sitting in on my class (just for fun and bc his class met there before mine) and making me nervous, and what should i do? and she said "punch him in the face!"

12:30 pm

sounds like an excellent lesson on resolving issues to me.

12:32 pm

well, it made me feel a lot better than if she had just been sympathetic and said, oh, i don't know, that is a hard situation. :)

12:35 pm

precisely, now all you have to do is if he's there and you get all nervous, just imagine you've socked him once and are carrying on with your lesson... and if that doesn't work, picture him in a speedo

12:36 pm

ick! actually, nut, i eventually switched classrooms :)

12:37 pm

HE 7,32 (first one) HE 6,21 (last one) any help please? I will hammer on that silly second HE4,5

12:38 pm

Too bad, hurshy. No one wants my classroom, fortunately!

12:38 pm

And our staff is almost exclusively female, which is not necessarily a good thing...

12:38 pm

he 6 is a narcotic

12:38 pm

he7 more than one Mr. Winkler

12:39 pm

what kind of school are you at, artlady?

12:39 pm

Grrrr... ok, help? I'm stuck on a group of se's... Starting after the 3rd se4, I need se 5/10, 6/18, and the next se4. Not the one as in the past tense of mailing something (which is the next se 4).

12:39 pm

he6 a person who is attracted to the opposite sex

12:39 pm

Thanks macuser.

12:40 pm

Public elementary school in a Chicago suburb, K-5

12:40 pm

Hi, again. Back from buying cat food and other hunting and gathering.

12:40 pm

Thank you mac and mab. I have the narcotic HE, I am looking for the last HE and the second HE 4,5

12:40 pm

Dr. G and his brother were my students...years ago!

12:40 pm

The Se 5/10 is the plural of a Se 4/4.

12:40 pm

lol, private boys' boarding high school in very rural CT - couldn't be more opposite!

12:40 pm

( my sad little claim to fame...)

12:41 pm

You're welcome mab :)

12:41 pm

wow, that's cool artlady!

12:41 pm

artlady, i agree that a primarily female staff is not a good thing. our staff is primarily female - and we are a viscous backstabbing lot.

12:42 pm

viscous? he he

12:42 pm

True, but my school is in a very nice area.

12:42 pm

Anyone miss me while I was away?!!!!

12:42 pm

artlady, add an e to the 4 you have, then make it a person who does for the 6, and then the following 4 is a homonym of viewed

12:42 pm

Before Kids I taught in a primarily female staff that was totally awesome and supportive!

12:42 pm

oh, movieman - that is the icon i used on the first shoe day!

12:42 pm

Yes, 'nut. I just mind my own business and do what is important. Work with my students. Outside of school I'm very active, but my staff is pretty clique-y. Don't care for it!

12:43 pm

movieman -- you were gone? :-) *back to lurk mode*

12:43 pm

ok so can i assume from earlier reference to "first he7" that there are 2 he7s?

12:44 pm

Yep, stid, went and watched a DVD..... Fritz Lang's Metropolis.....

12:44 pm

Hurshy, I have the se 4 that is a homonym for viewed. I just can't get the next 3 in the list. Brain spasms...

12:44 pm

backstabbing AND sticky? Oh, nut. I hate gossip in workplace; the psych hospital I last worked at was terrible, the men were worse than the women, I think. I think it was because they were taken more seriously.

12:44 pm

hurshy... just one he7

12:45 pm

can't monkey type that last he 6/21 anymore any clues pls

12:45 pm

hurshy, i am suffering from "disbabblia" so don't mind my chaos.............confusion... ..........inability to properly count.

12:45 pm

hmm... well, i still think maybe my 5 and 6 clues will get you those - from the 4 before the homonym

12:46 pm

Sheryl... I gave a clue for it at 12:39

He 6/21 is the prefix for straight (sexually speaking)

12:46 pm

it's kill or be killed where i work. everyone doing everything they can to make the others look bad, trying for the glorious promotion. lucky for me, i either have been keeping my nose clean, or receive enough pity to stay out of it.

12:46 pm

sheryl, not a homosexual but a he****

12:46 pm

I've been teaching 30 years and don't feel like it (fortunately for my students!). Unfortunately, many of the younger staff (sorry if I offend anyone, but it's my experience) are into their own thing only. Many of them can't see the larger picture.

12:47 pm

ty mas and bb

12:47 pm

big picture: improvement of young minds?

12:47 pm

Don't have to worry about promotions. I'm department chair! Altho, there are only one or two of us art people per school. The department is district-wide. The art people are a decent group (if I say so myself!)

12:48 pm

I think art teachers (if I do say so myself) are peculiarly well-suited for seeing the larger picture. We have ( or should have) a habit of integrating all the parts of life.

12:48 pm

I would so love to teach art history at the high school level, public. I'm sure it's not a priority subject, especially with the no child left behind initiative.

12:48 pm

being artistic, i must say that you two are probably correct.

12:49 pm

i have an academically gifted teenager and an academically gifted mentally disabled soon to be teenager. i have plenty of thoughts on both aspects of their teachers (and have subbed myself but not a full time teacher)

12:49 pm

*to be teen

12:49 pm

Anyone got the other two 9's apart from the plural of the ne8/45? If so, clue me up plz.....

12:50 pm

ooh bbnaz typed a word *shh_- i won't tell*

12:50 pm

Hear hear, Vicuna!! Hurshy, I have the se's relating to collecting minnows (used to do that as a kid!)...it's later on. AACK!

12:50 pm

bb typed a word bb typed a wo-o-o-o-o-ord!

12:51 pm

disbabblia strikes again in the passion of the thought....oops

12:51 pm

I'm just glad they're still offering art in schools... they've pretty much eliminated music from the curriculum

12:51 pm

mab, you're right. Our children are being shortchanged. The difference in my district is really sad, although we still have art. I do a lot of art history integrated into art production, history, science...any way i can!

12:51 pm

more than once even

12:52 pm

eliminating music is WRONG...and this from someone who wouldn't take music.

12:52 pm

both our sons do well academically -- one has some difficulties with physical things and social interactions that the school administration is often unwilling to address proactively. BUT i have so much respect for the teachers, who are so kind and gracious and helpful, and THANK YOU to all who have the strength and courage to teach our children!

12:52 pm

i have an re9, pl of re8

12:53 pm

fortunately both the privately educated and the publicly educated disabled one both have received excellent musical education along with very comprehensive art too

12:53 pm

oh then i guess i am missing them too - unless you are misreading your list?

12:53 pm

hursh, clue me up with the re8 then.....

12:53 pm

person who is sorry

12:54 pm

need to pay MORE money to teachers, merit based, so as to keep the best and the brightest teaching our future.

12:54 pm

wilt thou clue ME up with the ne8? :) :) :)

12:54 pm

You sound like a wonderful teacher arty. I think art and music are so terribly important. If I were a student today I think I would learn to hate school -- so much emphasis on The Test.

12:54 pm

merit always turns into favortism unfortunately.

12:54 pm

i am spinning my wheels on the list. off to play with other things for a while! Later, all!

12:55 pm

Hursh - Google THIS!!!!!! "A synthetic rubber produced by polymerization of chloroprene and used in weather-resistant products, adhesives, shoe soles, sportswear, paints, and rocket fuels"

12:55 pm

wahoo hurshy! thanks for those three biggies

12:55 pm

sigh. ok.

12:55 pm

bye, stid and Hello again, All!

12:56 pm

see you later Stidmama

12:56 pm

soon art lessons and music will come out of the parents pockets only, only the wealthy will have the rounded education.

12:56 pm

chix de clix, how the hair look?

12:56 pm

52 to go. maybe a break is in order?

12:56 pm

personally i prefer an octagonal education

12:57 pm

The hitch with merit-based pay for teachers is that it isn't so easy to judge merit. You can't point to the sales you made, the commisions you brought in, the product you produced...

12:57 pm

lol. How about clues for the re8?

12:57 pm

Ha! I knew what that was , Movieman...

12:57 pm

maybe there needs to be less top heavy administration to free up budget monies for the classrooms?

12:58 pm

can't survey students, or judge by scores

12:58 pm

sorry but my oldest went to a private school and in her 8th grade year suffered in honors algebra because the engineer they hired to teach had no clue how to do it. what a ridiculous waste of her time and my money. fortunately for future students he wasn't offered another contract. don't get me wrong, he was brilliant, just no idea how to teach

12:58 pm

bbl

1:00 pm

Where I live, the stupid city govt. in their infinite wisdom (not) doubled everyone's real estate taxes and earmarked the money for schools. They built big new schools but didn't improve the education of the students one iota

1:00 pm

Right then, that's two out of the three 9's..... What the hell is the other....... *Begins to tear hair out*

1:01 pm

maybe a bit more teaching and a little less homework to cover what isn't being taught at school. I am a college grad with post educational studies. Husband holds an MSEE degree. I fared quite nicely in the public school system in Arizona in the 60s and 70s. Please tell me what went wrong since then? Other than the 60s and 70s I mean and the abdication of parental responsibility.

1:01 pm

clue for the in 5/10 just before the 7; I have the land/sea thing

1:01 pm

two re 8's -- only have the one that means one who regrets and it's plural

1:02 pm

not moving or perhaps you mean the bumbling one?

1:02 pm

chic did that help or confuse more?

1:02 pm

Can I get some help with the in 7/28 and the second in 5/10?

1:02 pm

other re8 - pl of re7 - people who lease

1:03 pm

Cybernan, to bury again..........

1:03 pm

i am way confused about the in situation and the se situation

1:03 pm

oh that too - 3 re8's!

1:04 pm

thanx, bb movieman there is et9 , re9, and ne9....

1:04 pm

se 7/28 (following the french fisherman)

1:04 pm

oops -- forgot the question mark -- was asking for a clue!

1:05 pm

A public h.s. teacher friend teaches some of his classes in a trailor (trailer?). It seems difficult for governmental bodies to get anything approximately right. And then there are school districts that were good to begin with and were let alone. Quite a range...

1:05 pm

Chic - any cluez for the et9......

1:05 pm

to make last forever, movieman

1:05 pm

Just got the et9 as you were posting, Hursh....

1:06 pm

plural for the et8; goes on forever....

1:06 pm

after the french fisherman--are the french fishermen

1:06 pm

drat, which one is the french fisherman?

1:06 pm

Ok, I'm back. Got a phone call from my friend who's going to Italy with me this summer. Woohoo!

1:07 pm

abdication of parental responsibility pretty well sums it up i think.

1:07 pm

ooo, lucky duck artlady, going to florence? that's where I'd like togo...

1:07 pm

aha - artlady - french river and a bunch that build off it, is that what you need?

1:07 pm

se 6/18: fisherman (think of the river that runs through Paris)

1:08 pm

some help, perhaps--thereis the person who leases-re6/18, the people who lease- re 7/28, then there is an re 8/40 ??

1:08 pm

well make it plural, cnan, make it plural!

1:08 pm

Now, se's I have thru the 7/28 and the next 2 (6/18, 4/4) Need the next 5/10, 6/18, 4/4. The next 4/4 after than is the homonym for smell... I am giving up and moving on for a while, but I hate to leave loose ends!! ...help...?

1:08 pm

oh rats!!!

1:09 pm

gonna go now... need to get my taxes in order :/ Happy babbling everyone! :) Bye!

1:09 pm

Oh, chic, Firenze, Venezia, Sorrento, Londra....I mean London... I was in Florence the first time last summer. Got the bug! Art, wine, culture, food, people, wine, art...

1:09 pm

good luck mac. That's next on my list...

1:09 pm

last se 8/40?

1:10 pm

cybernan, I have that one and the person and the verb...

1:10 pm

nan, one who stands guard

1:10 pm

is there more than one se8/40?

1:10 pm

se 8/40...one who stands guard. I have that one!

1:10 pm

OMG - artlady! who would have thought that i'd left the protective plastic on one side of the dishwasher for 4 1/2 years!

se 8 one who stands guard

1:11 pm

artlady, then you need the ones that sound like grab, and related - or else you need to recheck your list maybe you aren't missing any!

1:11 pm

don't think so hurshy

1:11 pm

phew

1:11 pm

thanks art lady

1:12 pm

grab?

1:13 pm

the first si 7?

1:13 pm

ROFL!!!! 'nut!!!!

1:13 pm

you know, carpe diem and all that, artlady

1:14 pm

just wanted to tell you artlady, i'm going to go finish cleaning the worlds dirtiest dishwasher.

1:14 pm

it's some kind of mineral...think rock type ending, add a vowel after the si

1:15 pm

Thanks artlady --- used in pottery glazes -- usually spelled sy___

1:15 pm

40 to go and no list yet! this is the kind of puzzle i like. lots of normal words, with helpful e's and s's

1:15 pm

hurshy, thanks so much, but I have that one, that's the 4th word on the se list. I'm sorry to be a pest...I have the 1st 4 se4's and the words between. I have the 6th se 4 and the words after...(embarassed look on face)..thanks for all your effort.

1:16 pm

Oh cyb! I should have recognized that one! It's been many years since I did ceramic glaze formulations.

1:17 pm

artlady, what i have been saying all along is that you need to add an e to that one, and then another letter for the six to make it a person

1:18 pm

artladly, I used to throw pottery and fire my own stuff too!

1:19 pm

woohoo thanks hursy for that clue I got it

1:19 pm

Hurshy, you are fabulous. I just figured out I had one of the se4's in the wrong spot on my paper list and it totally threw me off. Got it!!! Kudos!!!

1:19 pm

well that's a relief bc for a while there i thought i was completely crazy

1:20 pm

HE 4,5 the second word, not the one dealing with estate

1:20 pm

Nope. I had my se4 in the spot where the missing se 4 should go and geez that threw everything off. (Wipes beads of sweat from forehead...)

1:20 pm

meanwhile i still need 4 s's myself :)

1:23 pm

can someone help me with er 5/10?? please?

1:24 pm

artlady - MORE protective plastic! i kid you not!

1:24 pm

a poet writes ve6 (not in puzzle), take off the v

1:25 pm

scribble, songs have ver*** (like chapters in a story)

1:25 pm

'nut, I left the protective plastic on my laptop deliberately. My daughter keeps trying to pick it off, but I won't let her. I said it protects it! My laptop is 6 years old...

1:25 pm

drop the "v"

1:25 pm

bbl, have shower now...

1:25 pm

thank you hurshy!!

1:25 pm

* heads back to kitchen * maybe if i find enough protective plastic, it will be like having a brand new dishwasher.

1:26 pm

nut you are too much :)

1:26 pm

doesn't anybody have that pesky HE 4,5 word? the second one, not the first? begging here.

1:27 pm

rhymes with money you pay for your apt every month

1:27 pm

no sorry, it's like hi but w/o double cons.

1:27 pm

bb, he 4/5...short term for whirly bird type of aircraft

1:28 pm

and by hi i mean "hi!" not an hi word

1:29 pm

prostrating self in gratitude for the help. TYVM now back to those pesky pe words before moving on to the re, se and si. kinda like do re mi <;~P

1:30 pm

The second si7/28? and the 6/18 before it?

1:30 pm

te, ti, tr, ve... (continuing the do re me...)

1:30 pm

i'm missing one blasted E - from the rightmost one - any guesses? :)

1:31 pm

Hurshy, do you have a 4/5 from that e?

1:32 pm

my mom, mklein was a potter for many years too!

1:32 pm

(notice how quickly I jump to your aid!)

1:32 pm

eek, no! thanks artlady, i'll look!

1:32 pm

i appreciate that, artlady :)

1:32 pm

I loved ceramics in college. Teaching at the elementary level limits what I can do, but i do a ceramics unit with each grade.

1:33 pm

hurshy it ends with not lo but ** (think altitude) and the second letter is the consonant before "m"

1:34 pm

I can't believe that te 8/40!

1:35 pm

ooh, there's a te 8/40! i love the log.

1:35 pm

et 8/40?

1:35 pm

thanks bbnaz

1:36 pm

ANything for you, hurshy... ;-)

1:36 pm

pe 8/45 and po 8/45 anyone?

1:37 pm

there's a pe 8/45? now those are my last two 8's then, pe and te

1:37 pm

there are 2 po 8/45's though, both building on po7 - to wax non-prosaic?

1:38 pm

whew! i have a clean dishwasher! maybe i should run it with bleach now, what you think artlady?

1:38 pm

Definitely, 'nut! Twice!

1:38 pm

almost time for finishing my taxes...

1:39 pm

btw - i think i'm going to rot my fingers off with chemicals - wouldn't that be interesting? i could be like a cleaning martyr.

1:39 pm

in my opinion, cleanliness is overrated... I'd rather Babble...

1:39 pm

hurshy the te 8 ends in the last four letters of the woman's name in the song "Goodnight I****" and then add the plural letter.

1:40 pm

carpe felis

1:40 pm

nevermind. i was thinking of something whilst typing. I meant the last three letters are from that gal's name, with the plural. Prior to that you put in a consonant that follows "o"

1:41 pm

thoroughly confused now Hursh?

1:41 pm

aw sherb, your hurting my feelings!

1:41 pm

oh, but i have that. artlady said there was an 8/40 - was that just a mistake?

1:41 pm

Well, the IRS is calling. Hurshy, enjoy yourself and thanks again for your patient repetition of clues for this deficient babbler. "nut, have fun cleaning. I'm off to play with numbers! (actually they're done, just have to double-check!) Ciao, a domani!

1:42 pm

bye artlady :)

1:42 pm

Hurshy, the te 8/40 builds off the earlier te's...

1:42 pm

got three po's out of that thanks hurshy

1:43 pm

but i don't have the list so i don't know where it goes :) it's ok, as long as it's really there, that's all that matters :)

1:43 pm

think really really small there hursh for the te 8,40

1:43 pm

I'm missing an Ni 5 following the Ni6/18. I have the Ni that ends in the second vowel, and I have the one for a short form of dynamite. any clues for the other one?

1:43 pm

having said that, I did dust and vacuum my apartment today... but that was for the first time in three weeks... life's too short...

1:44 pm

aha, thanks bbnaz

1:44 pm

a plural, perhaps, angel?

1:45 pm

you can count on me to confuse anytime!

1:45 pm

ok, so pe 8/45, this is real yes? not a rumor?

1:46 pm

i don't have it but it is on brandyjack's list.........

1:46 pm

ok good thanks :)

1:47 pm

does anyone have he 5/12?

1:47 pm

yes, scribble, it's a plural

he 5/12 is a pl.

from an estate

1:49 pm

the fourth re7/28?

hi everyone!

1:50 pm

person who leases (unless there are more and i don't have them all...)

1:50 pm

hurshy, I can't find a plural for the missing NI5/10

1:50 pm

not days but...

1:51 pm

Hello, everybody! My shoes aren't as fabulous as I'd hoped, but I couldn't figure out how to take a picture of some of mine and put it on the computer. I'm techno-challenged...So I had to search online.

1:52 pm

I have that one hurshy? Do you have the next one? (re7/28)

1:52 pm

Hurshy, the PE 7 and 8 are singular and plural respectively. The word sounds like a popular hair shampoo

1:53 pm

hi smithchick... cool mules... :D

1:53 pm

harp, i have one more after that, puts prongs back on a fork, and i have three before it. (now you do realize i was referring to a singular, not a plural, i hope)

1:53 pm

thank you bbnaz, i remember we had that one not long ago, silly me.

1:53 pm

well, i tried to resist coming back until this evening. prep for party tomorrow will have to wait a while. hello.

1:54 pm

*hums happily* 28 to go...

1:54 pm

Love your shoes, angel! Oooh, yours too, sherb!

1:55 pm

HI, cliff! I'm also lovin' the blue suede shoes...

1:55 pm

NO, I didn't realize that hurshy. Got it now, thanks! Sound like YOU need the plural of the crystalline substance?

1:55 pm

of the first two in 5/10's I have the one meaning not moving --- clue for the other?

1:56 pm

harp - first i prob need a crystalline substance!

1:56 pm

body of water Cybernan

1:57 pm

hi cliff :D

1:58 pm

1:58 pm

great shoes everyone....

1:58 pm

or6 - the far east

1:58 pm

1:58 pm

hurshy, take the fork re, and change one of the vowells

1:58 pm

snap, cnan!

1:59 pm

ty harp, now i only need 2 more 7's

2:00 pm

1000 extra points to anyone who can correctly wild guess either of the 2 7's i am missing! :)

2:01 pm

si 7/28? the second one? And the si6/18 before it?

2:01 pm

2:03 pm

hey hey cliffy !

2:04 pm

okay then how about the final pe4,5 word clue? i am monkey typing away here........

2:05 pm

2:07 pm

re 5/12? I think there's only one. It's driving me nuts.

2:08 pm

i don't see how there could be another 4/5 after the po docking space

2:08 pm

Anyone who goes to a rodeo knows that "repen" is a word.....

2:08 pm

he'll do great cliff - my future sister in law went into the air force, then out cause they didn't have the job promised here, then she went into the army. she said air force was easy compared to army. i don't know if that makes you feel better, come to think of it, i doubt it helps at all actually...

2:18 pm

off to a rehearsal, then a wedding. 55 words to go. thanks for the help!

2:19 pm

Bye, harpjane!

2:20 pm

later harpjane!

2:20 pm

aloyisius, thanks a lot. My goal in making the pages was to colllect all of the Babble resources and information I could find to have everything in one handy place. I wanted new players to be able to spend less time being confused, and established players to have their resources for quick access.

2:20 pm

yeah, our retired military friends also said the air force was the easiest. my son is an engineer and is going to be doing research and development, so i'm not worried about him serving. he is my only 'birth' child (other 2 are 'bonus' from husband's 1st marriage) and in 26 years he has never been more than 3 hrs away (except for trips out of the country or new england)

bye, harpjane!

2:22 pm

argh. Why is he such a pain? It's like when he takes on any project that is even slightly challenging to him, it become a HUGE production, and makes me wish I had just done it myself.

2:22 pm

Cybernan - sounds like poetry without the first consonent

3:14 pm

beginning? no!

3:14 pm

3:15 pm

Plural writing instrument, followed by double vowel (pe 6)

I do have the pe (french for thought), but there's a pe6 before that one, I think, Haz... Ren: It's like a breath of fresh air! I like it a lot.

hello, everyone; totally brand new here! :-P

3:18 pm

ROFL.... I misread the clues about pe - male genitalia... In my mind the clue read pe5 word for male "thought"!

3:18 pm

3:18 pm

3:23 pm

3:23 pm

could type an encyclopedia of handsome gay men and you would definitely be in it. I would rather go and party with my ss friends than go out on a date. They seem to have such a pulse for fun.

sheesh; is this 'Embarrass Me Day' or something? :-/ lol

3:24 pm

Nothing like a warm welcome, huh mikey?

lol; really now, smithchick! :-þ

3:25 pm

3:25 pm

bbnaz - the second si with 7 letters think the tiny wooden pieces that get under your skin but take 2nd & 3rd letters out

3:25 pm

leslieann - before you were an adult

subjective matter, shorty; i think he's much better! :-)

3:26 pm

that is the pr combo right? i am looking for the pe 7 and 8

3:26 pm

can you imagine if this site were mostly guys and a girl came in who was good looking and they acted this way? think about it...

no, Twinkie; i don't think i look like anyone but me, actually.....ok, except maybe a bit like my parents, too! ;-)

3:26 pm

he 7?

3:26 pm

Good point, hurshy.

3:27 pm

If it makes you feel better mikey, we'll all pretend you're either ugly or dumb as a rock. Nothing worse than a really good-looking guy who is dumb as a rock.

3:27 pm

ch are your boots made for walking?

3:27 pm

heck still waiting for some help with that SI word.

3:27 pm

3:28 pm

oh my gosh you are freaking HOT just seen a bigger pic

3:28 pm

yes indeed, leslieann! (Are ya ready boots? Start walkin!)

well, i assure you, smithchick; i'm about as opposite of 'dumb as a rock' as one could find

3:28 pm

ty hurshy

3:29 pm

Nope, blushing, was translating some text on babel. Thanks Clif very much!

3:29 pm

cliffopa... I like your shoes the best! I wish they made them in my size!

hey, Temple Owl!!! :-D hiya!!!!! it was great :-)

3:31 pm

brb... gotta find a costume...

lol, Jera; nice to know ;-)

3:31 pm

sorry, stupidly-phrased question, mikey--you can be german and live in germany! (lol) i was thinking maybe you met your partner in germany when you were travelling and stayed there because our stupid country (usa) stinks when it comes to allowing foreign gay men to marry american partners and stay in our country... (sorry, have friends who had to move out of america to be with their foreign partners :-()

3:31 pm

hi jera :) i thought a little one's shoe would be cute, and different. i'm not a fancy shoe kind of person.

gtg - hasn't rained for an hour so i may finally venture out -c u you later and happy babbling!

3:32 pm

oh goodness, there's an et 8 and 9??

3:32 pm

13 words to go and cannot find the SI 4,5 that is on the list......

3:33 pm

brb - need to go to the "grocery"store.....mez is ill ...(fear factor is at 10..grocery store...)

3:33 pm

bb, there was a clue earlier about taking the seven deadlies and changing the last letter... do you have that one?

3:33 pm

bbnaz - it's a hyperbolic trig function! :)

well i did, Twinkie; i was actually born and raised in Canada, but my mom's from Berlin here, so i am a German citizen by parentage.....and i met Heinrich on one of my yearly visits over here, and made the move, settling in with him 5 and 1/2 years ago! :-) used to spend half of all my summers and some Christmases here, while growing up.....here and the UK, where my dad is from

3:34 pm

I hate it when my little people try to pressure me to get off of my computer.

last re5/10 b 4 i go?

3:34 pm

help please... the second si 6/18?

3:35 pm

cool, you are at home in three great countries, mikey! (germany, uk, canada)

3:35 pm

Actually, that mortal s** one can have a vowel added for one word and a consonant added for another. Never heard of the one ending with the consonant.

so, anyhow; what are we supposed to do with this puzzle, then? no idea how to play this yet :-/

3:36 pm

later, shoe fetishers! :-) must go help hubby w/ taxes....

3:36 pm

hey mikey, i'm back for a few minutes. play it like boggle.

3:36 pm

the last re 5/10 i have is to *** one's shoes again, but there's probably one after that

3:36 pm

Bye twinkie!

great, evanonut; except that i've never played Boggle, either, so have no idea how that works! :-/

3:37 pm

Me neither, cliffopa... this is how I prefer to be (new icon... refresh!)

think i'll have to read up on how to play this, and try it another time :-P

3:37 pm

I need to quit blabbing and babble instead.:-)

3:38 pm

mikey, try the babble rules link at the top first

3:38 pm

okay then mikey, make words from letters that touch each other. each block can only be used once in a word.

3:38 pm

great choice jera. if i did not live in nh i might go barefoot year round.

3:38 pm

man, if there was a game called blabble, i would totally win

3:38 pm

How did you discover babble, Mikey? Angelsong's page is really good too.

oh; thanks, evanonut! :-)

3:39 pm

lol leslieann!!

3:39 pm

i would be willing to take clues for any of the et's...

3:39 pm

templeowl - re... on a horse

3:39 pm

I was born in Tennessee in January... I go barefoot unless it's illegal or dangerous (& my danger criteria is pretty high)...

3:39 pm

I don't know Leslie, I'd be fierce competition!

3:40 pm

no probs mikey, i'm all ready to bowl, big haired, made up, just like that song, what is it? oh yeah, i like my women a little on the trashy side.

3:40 pm

what's that about a horse?

3:40 pm

The et's are almost like live forever, but fiddle with the ending... not al

3:41 pm

The longer et's are almost like one who does, but don't use a t... you really just have to play around with the endings, they are a bit odd...

3:42 pm

ok, thanks jera, i have the 6 and will fiddle for the 8 and 9

3:42 pm

The last re6 is how you might fix a broken fork...

lol, evanonut! :-)

3:43 pm

Help, please! for the PE's I have: pe4/5 pe5/12 that's a plural of the pe4/5 pe5/12 that's a plural of male genitalia Missing a pe6/21 after the second pe5/12 above... it's not the one for the French thought. then I have 3 more PE5/12's. What's the 6/21 that's MIA?

5:25 pm

thanks. (and oh, boy, do I suck at this. :)

5:25 pm

lol it's ok, hopefully they helped someone else

5:25 pm

not sure what the word means but it follows along with the ones immediately preceeding them that means to pay for your living space

5:26 pm

casira, have you clicked on lickety's babble clues link to the right? it lists first and second letters. big help.

5:26 pm

just think how much else i could have done today if i had used the list... it would have taken less than 2 hours, and as it is i spent like 6

5:26 pm

YAY hurshy!

5:26 pm

but you also get to bond with us, hurshy. and that's priceless.

5:27 pm

oops, i missed the part where mama left (- making mental note to talk to mama bout puppy next time i see her)

5:27 pm

true. and really, i wouldn't have done anything else bc i have a cold.

i need a 7/28 believe it is the last one on the list

5:27 pm

why thank you bbnaz :)

5:28 pm

sheryl, try sticking an "i" in your re 6/18, someone who leases

5:28 pm

no sheryl, not last on list - you need 7 singular person who leases and 8 pl people who lease

5:29 pm

oh unless you need bury again and pl, but that is nowhere near the end

5:29 pm

si 7/28? (the first one, not the one that rhymes with a season)

5:29 pm

Sheryl, there are 6 re 7,28. are we looking for one of those or an re 8,40? sorry I am confused here

5:29 pm

si + vowel + opp of day

5:30 pm

what a wacky one. thanks hursh.

5:30 pm

si + 2nd vowel + opposite of day (slang)

5:31 pm

Hurshy you are so much faster than I am and I can tell you have helped me so much as my clues sound like yours!

5:31 pm

yup, sheryl

bbaz i need a 8/40 not sure which one have the bury one

also need the 6/18 and the 7 following it near the end of the list

5:32 pm

can i have an idiot's clue for the se 8? i couldn't get it off the clues before, is it a weird spelling?

5:33 pm

to stand guard

i have the 7 from the lease clue is there an 8 somehow off that

5:33 pm

se8 is not weird, it is the normal spelling of a soldier who is guarding stuff... mailed + anagram of a river in egypt

5:33 pm

sigh... never mind i got it... i had been thinking sentries

5:33 pm

sheryl, you need a 7 SINGULAR off the lease clue

5:33 pm

ha, see, you do it too leslie :)

5:34 pm

lol, ok we're even, that was a good clue

5:34 pm

5:34 pm

5:35 pm

thanks, bbnaz as well

5:36 pm

5:42 pm

re 7/28 re + to bury. the re 8 is plural

6:23 pm

re5/10 - to lease, then add e to the end

re 5/10 re + the flying *** , but change vowel to 3rd one

6:24 pm

ah, sorry, I miscounted. It sounds like cheese bacteria.

i just realized there are a whole lot of flying things - this one would be sally field :)

6:25 pm

Of all flying things in this world, Sally Field might just have been the very last one I ever thought of! :)

6:25 pm

6:27 pm

6:27 pm

Good evening all. I have been in and out all day and am down to 12 words. Am about to throw in the towel, since the long lists of re's, si, se's pe's drive me crazy. And I have the worst time with clues that dont seem to be the right ones for me. O Well. Any help for pe 4/5 (first one), pe 6/21 (first and last one) and pe 5/12 (4th one down on BJ list). I could sleep a lot better with all your help.

6:28 pm

pe6/21 - pl of preceding 5, (starts like a tasty dessert)

6:28 pm

bye, LeslieANn

6:28 pm

207

6:28 pm

OH, forget the dessert, I can't spell!

pe 6/21 = the writing implement + what you do with your eyes that hk couldn't do

6:28 pm

Thanks!

6:29 pm

helen... isn't that french? no fair :P

6:29 pm

6:30 pm

vicuna ty

6:31 pm

6:31 pm

You're welcome, especially since you were able to interpret it!

6:32 pm

inge pe 5/12 seems to be the alt spelling for male appendage

6:33 pm

Any clues for pe8/45 please?

grigs- oh, i see (no pun intended) you were referring to the word - heck, i don't know what most of these words even are, much less what language they're from, lol.

6:34 pm

I haven't started on the se's yet, sorry.

6:35 pm

pe 8/45 sounds like the shampoo + plural

se 7/28 is plural of french river se 5 previous, if it were plural people

6:35 pm

oh, ok... my troubleis I always forget to use the british ...re as well as the american ...er when they're both available. the words in other languages i often see before the plain english ones...

6:35 pm

also, does anyone have a clue for the pe6/21 near the bottom - between pe4/5 and pe5/12?

6:35 pm

re 6 & 7 combo following the 4/4 anatomy word?

7:29 pm

7:44 pm

faeriekae, you mean is it bad enough to make me lose my ability to read other people's simple requests and respond coherently? Yes, apparently it is!

7:44 pm

faerie, my daughter was my Maid of Honor. she helped me choose the dress, and it took my breath away. I will never in my life look that good again!

7:45 pm

hey faerie your better than me

an endurance, test, too! faeriekae - if those shoes are bronze you'd better watch out - i want them! LOL

7:46 pm

7:47 pm

Vicuna, I actually got that word now. Thanks for the clue. Is re 8/40 related? It cant be a plural

7:47 pm

7:52 pm

Caloli-Oh the 3 letter ones lol. That is so cute. Now on the the 4 and 5 and so on and so on....Help is always good.

7:52 pm

Thansk for the support. I keep wanting to quit... How about se 6/18, the one before the spanish 6.

7:53 pm

et 9 hints ne one?

7:53 pm

Ing I don't have anything much past the po's sorry.

7:54 pm

Freckle, the stuff diving suits are made of

7:54 pm

et 9 is plural of the 8/40

7:56 pm

Sorry Freckle, msiread your question. et 9 means to "go on and on forever"

8:00 pm

Well, I also need three pe's. Anhelp for the first pe 4/5?

8:00 pm

I've stuck on the last few te's ... anybody still giving clues?

ingge - opp of out

8:01 pm

Which te's do you need? I have them all.

2nd pe7/32 & 8/45 below it please?

8:01 pm

The first pe4/5 is similar to the tube which carries blood around your body. Change the first letter from v to p.

8:02 pm

I need both te6's, both te7's and both te8's.

8:03 pm

Inge, I think the se6/18 you're looking for is related to the French river. Add an s to the end.

8:05 pm

pe7/38 sounds like a shampoo brand. It won't happen overnight but it will happen. pe8 is the plural of it.

8:05 pm

First to the te's. Most begin with the same four letters refering to an age group (13-19) or meaning very small.Pe 7/32 is the plural of the male appendage.

te 6/18 is past, present, and future...plural of te5/10

8:07 pm

how about pr 5/18 and pr 6/30 please.

8:07 pm

thanks - I got both te6's now will work on te7 and 8

8:08 pm

pr ... you leave bread to do this when you're baking it. Also, you pr*** a theory.

8:08 pm

Caloli, that word(s) I have. I need the next se 6/18 ( I hope)

8:10 pm

Ok got the pr 6/30 but not getting the 5/18? Sorry

8:10 pm

Did you try adding an R to the end of the river, Inge?

8:11 pm

te 7/32 think of the stuff you dilute paint with, and then plural for the 8.

8:11 pm

Take the N off the end of pr6, Faerie.

8:12 pm

Calio - Thanks, no on to the dreaded re's......ugh

8:13 pm

i got all the "river" variations. This se is further down, after the "shipping" words and their variations.

8:13 pm

that should have said now on the re's...I can't type no wonder I suck so bad at this. LOL

8:14 pm

Actually I type way too much. Maybe thats the problem huh?

8:15 pm

oops pt 6/21 I didn't even see that one. Any clues?

8:15 pm

sorry inge, I'm not very good at this! Did you try adding -er to the spanish six? I only started babbling last week, so I'm still learning how to give good clues (and to give them for the right words!!)

8:15 pm

I got the pt....thanks anyway.

8:16 pm

Caloli - You give excellent clues. Stop that right this minute.

8:17 pm

aw, thanks :)

8:18 pm

now I've got 30 to go

8:18 pm

i refuse to believe that 'snert' is not in the dictionary.

8:18 pm

I need a "d" :)

8:18 pm

I have 83 to go LOL

8:19 pm

Bonkler - I'm sure it must in a dictionary somewhere lol.

8:19 pm

I need to do a couple of things ... will be back in an hour or so. Bye for now!

8:20 pm

Caloi - Thanks - see ya later.

bye, caloli!

8:20 pm

faerie- can you help me with the pt?

8:20 pm

Caloli, you are doing great with the clues. I think my list which I copied from BJ has gotten out of order when I crossed off words.

8:20 pm

if it isn't, it jolly well should be.

8:21 pm

Inge - I hate it when that happens.

8:22 pm

pt 6+ pt + girls name

8:23 pm

Scribble - pt + 2nd vowel + r + 3rd vowel + upside down u

8:23 pm

Girls name ends in middle two letters of si 4/4

97 words to go for me

8:28 pm

bendamalina - I'm at 78 to go...zooooom

8:29 pm

9:17 pm

ni 5/10 either not the days but the ni... (and not your grammar teacher's spelling) OR dressed to the ni...

9:21 pm

si7/28 is an alternative spelling and means "An igneous rock composed primarily of alkali feldspar together with other minerals, such as hornblende."

9:22 pm

9:25 pm

Does anyone need help before i call it a night

9:26 pm

congrats!

9:26 pm

Well done igorms.

9:26 pm

9:27 pm

oh yes , pls , it's driving me nuts . ha

9:27 pm

9:28 pm

9:32 pm

lgorms, where do I add this mystery letter to the p7?

9:32 pm

9:34 pm

lgorms, I think I know my problem...There are 2 po7/32s. Can you clue me for the one you are talking about? I think I am missing it.

9:36 pm

The first one, a writer who composes rhymes

9:39 pm

What kind of words are those! Thanks, I wouldn't haven't gotten them without you!

9:39 pm

i use them in everyday conversations myself :} j/k

9:39 pm

goodnight all & good luck

9:40 pm

I will start using them daily tomorrow...a new goal. :)

9:46 pm

am trying to use the hint for the po7/32 given (someone who writes rhymes?) and i just can't get it...any more clues? thanks.

looking for ne 8/45

9:46 pm

good night Igorms! hi all, i'm lurking in the background while I play with other things... finished a while ago if you need help.

if you have po 4/5, then +ise

9:47 pm

ne 8/45: an artificial leather/rubber used in wetsuits ne 9 is the plural

that was for twinkie!

9:48 pm

thanks! i kept trying +er, +ese, and none worked.

Thanks stidmama! I never would've gotten it otherwise

9:50 pm

the theme for tomorrow is greek mythology. I'd like to audition my icon -- the messenger from the gods to the mortals, Iris who used a rainbow to pass from Mt. Olympus to earth. refresh if you have time, and let me know if it looks okay to you...

9:51 pm

i had no idea there were themes on these... what's today's theme, then?

9:51 pm

or is the theme relegated only to icons, not the puzzle?

9:52 pm

today's theme has been shoes and boots. not everyone "plays dressup" -- but it's kinda fun. Babbler posts the themes on her profile page

cute rainbow, stidmama

9:52 pm

oh yeah-- icons only -- i believe the puzzles are generated randomly!

9:53 pm

cool, thanks for that explanation. i kept wondering how everyone was in the know re: the shoes today...

9:54 pm

yes, i was pretty confused my first couple of days, too! thanks, bendamalina -- are you new? i don't recognize your name

9:55 pm

stid, which is the babbler page where you got the info on the themes? there's a couple listed on the side, not sure which one...

yeah, i'm new i played once before the other day, but i think i only got 400 some odd points. i just casually played to see what it's like. i'm an avid boggle player. cutthroat, almost

9:56 pm

bend, do you ever play weboggle?

no, never played it. probably shouldn't be playing this right now cause i have so much work i ought to be doing....heh!

10:00 pm

i used to play online scrabble, but i'm terrible with games and will play more than I ought to, so i stopped playing. a friend of mine who i routinely whollup at boggle recommended that I try this game....

10:02 pm

how about you? how long have you been playing?

10:03 pm

i just started a week or so ago. i love webboggle--actually, i was taking a break from babble to do webboggle! (i know of what you speak re: wasting too much time playing...i've stayed up very late in the past playing weboggle!)

10:04 pm

here's the link, fyi (they have 4x4 and 5x5): http://weboggle.shackworks.com /

10:06 pm

sorry, got called away for a minute... catching up on the log now.

10:06 pm

this is the closest i've ever come to finishing...usually i try to hit 1000 and then leave, but today i tried the grid thing from lickity and got close (152 words, 2070 points). i can't see myself staying on to finish an entire one! it takes staying power. (ironsudoku is more my style--quick and dirty)

10:07 pm

Babbler's profile is at http://www.playbabble.com/vie w_profile/6719

10:08 pm

I give myself a 100-word minimum (or the max in the puzzle), but most days have enough time in between other things to finish the whole shebang

10:08 pm

thanks for your profile! everyone here is so nice

10:09 pm

i know what you mean, twinkie. if i hadn't gotten the licketysplit grid, i would've stopped long ago i like websudoku

10:11 pm

i like websudoku, too. my other faves (some already mentioned): ironsudoku, babbler, weboggle, bookworm (on popcap), mahjong (also on popcap). if you like wordgames, bookworm rocks!

10:12 pm

stid, i love the themes!!! you guys rock! (although i will miss having my beloved luna eyeing her ball...)

10:12 pm

i like to play orisinal games, not because they are challenging, but because they are cute and have nice music http://www.ferryhalim.c om/orisinal/

10:14 pm

check out bookworm on popcap: http://www.popcap.com/

10:14 pm

the themes were here a long time before i was! so many of the people here are real gems. sometimes, when a theme doesn't "agree" with me, I go back to one of the more meaningful personal icons. You'll see cybernan do that a lot, and many others.

10:15 pm

i think i might leave this at 137 not bad for my second try

10:18 pm

bendamalina, that is a good number of words for your second go-round. Well done!

10:19 pm

yeah, i saw cybernan had her own pic today. i love the orisinal!!! was playing the cat one just now! (they are soooo like real cats--can't make them do what you want!)

10:20 pm

haha, twinkie! and thanks, stidmama

10:21 pm

and you're right about the music (have it playing still in the background--"do-do-do--dododo !")

10:22 pm

very cute. oops, music died--my cats must have gone haywire and i ran out of points. ;-) good night--enjoy the rest of the puzzle, and see you soon!

10:23 pm

HI. THe only P word that I am missing is the 3rd PE5/12. Could someone please help me? Thanks.

10:27 pm

Minski: the third 5/12 is two or more writing implements with an extra vowel. (betw the last cons and the pl curvy letter)

10:30 pm

good night everyone, and good luck

10:30 pm

Thanks mab. Now how about help with the OR6? Thanks.

10:33 pm

forget the or. got it. thakns anyhow.

10:54 pm

Close enough. I'm done. Nighty-night.

11:08 pm

good night Minski!

11:12 pm

evening, everyone.

11:18 pm

Minski...you need to orient yourself toward the east

11:26 pm

Whew! Eyes closing at 143. May not seem like many to most of you, but to me it's a bonanza! Thanks for all the great clues. Couldn't have done it w/o y'all! Nite all--sweet dreams. Or maybe I'll just wait for the next grid to be posted--somebody save me!

11:32 pm

grid for tomorrow is supposed to be greek mythology, ye gods...

11:34 pm

hi Charm, all! (((hugs)))

11:35 pm

hey stidmama. just waiting for the flip. How are you?

how do you know tomorrows theme?

11:40 pm

Hello and Good Evening!

11:42 pm

also waiting for the flip, updating various web pages i've been slow on... the usual!

11:42 pm

stoningtoncat: go here: http://www.playbabble.com/vie w_profile/6719

11:43 pm

knutmeg! how's our princess (and her daughter?)

11:44 pm

Doing good. Tonight is shift night with my husband (we split up the nights before his days off. I get to sleep in our bed. For hours! Starting at either 2am or 3am... I haven't decided yet when I want him to relieve me... Olivia is doing good tonight. She drank 4 oz in one sitting after breastfeeding, I hope that means she'll be asleep for a few more hours, yet. ;-)

11:47 pm

Hope Olivia's growing well -- she is small, as you mentioned earlier today... I know how hard it can be to get a newborn to nurse enough to sleep more than a couple hours at a time. but my boys were 9.5 and 8.5 pound brutes at birth, so I really don't know what a normal sized baby should weigh at three weeks! Still, we nursed every two or three hours the first couple months with each of them, and eventually they were big enough to sleep larger blocks of time.

knut--it doesn't work?

11:48 pm

13 minutes left, folks, need any last minute clues?

11:48 pm

stonington: remove the space in the link. Or go to Angelsong's Resource page on the right, the link is also found there.

11:48 pm

I could use the pt word, stid

11:49 pm

"any of various compounds that contain the bicyclic ring system characteristic of pteridine" pt + a way to refer to Ireland (also a girl's name that sounds like aaron)

11:50 pm

We're using formula to help us with those cluster feedings, which she is doing a lot recently. By the time I go back to work, we want her on formula exclusively. I know breastmilk is better, but both she and I are having a hard time with the breastfeedings. Plus, I can't pump at work, I work customer service at a grocery store, its impossible to get off the floor!

11:51 pm

I know what you mean, knutmeg! I was lucky that after our first I had a private office and could take him along the first few months while I continued to work part-time (he was born with problems, so couldn't send him to daycar); then I left work when my Tom got a job... even so it was hard sometimes to balance everything -- and since he couldn't take a bottle I never had any time off!

11:52 pm

thank you, stidmama I still need the long ve's between the poisons and the air duct, and the long et's, if you have them.

11:52 pm

take the et 6, drop the last vowel and add -ise, then plural

11:53 pm

ve's: add the second vowel to the poison; add the recurvy consonant to the poison; add both to the poison...

11:53 pm

Hail to the gang!

11:53 pm

thanks again, stidmama--I always forget to Anglicise!

11:54 pm

hi nan! how was the night out?

11:54 pm

woo hoo right under the wire!! thanks all, most especially stidmama!

11:55 pm

YAY badcat!

11:55 pm

Great -- it was just the opening wine & cheese at our golf club.

11:56 pm

oh, that sounds so -- elegant! we're still in the pizza and pop circle -- for at least a few more years while the kids are young...

11:56 pm

they grow up all too soon stidmama!

11:56 pm

Hi Cybernan! I have been lucky enough to have my work and my husband's work allow us to switch to opposite shifts, so we don't have to try and afford daycare or nannies or any of that. He also works at a grocery store, same company, different city.

11:58 pm

oh knutmeg, that is so nice of them to arrange that for you -- although I know that it means you won't see as much of each other as you like, it will be so good for Olivia! I was glad our kids were always with us or grandparents their first few years... very nurturing.

11:58 pm

Hi knutmeg --- you should live in Canada --- mother's get 3 months maternity leave at full pay or 1 year at 3/4 pay -- fathers can also claim up to 6 months at 3/4 pay, but not concurrently with the mother.

11:58 pm

don't they, though, nan! I can hardly believe we got Matthew his own screenname for Babble today -- and he got close to a hundred words, I think!

11:59 pm

see you all on the other side... :-)

11:59 pm

Oh, my thoughts exactly. It won't be easy, and we aren't pretending it won't be, but we are so glad that Olivia will have the advantage of one parent around all the time for these first years.

11:59 pm

brb

I still can't find the themes?
