OK- How did you do with the clues?????

12:03 am

126 words

12:03 am

thanks for all the clues, all !

12:03 am

a *lot* less words... 119. but the grid looks like a killer

12:03 am

scratch that, 126 words, I can read my stats, duh.

12:04 am

jaianniah -- your cluse were great, my fingers weren't so good -- and my brain was worse. BUT i got really close, thanks to you and faeriek, and jeffer, and "etcetera"

12:04 am

flip out

12:04 am

126 words *seems* reasonable, and no real big words, so maybe... *holds nose* *dives in*

sw 7/48

12:05 am

okay, since when is "FOOM" not a valid word? if it took "socko" on the last grid.... (smile -- gives me something to complain about, anyway)

12:07 am

LOL Baron :)

12:07 am

renfield, great solar flare!

12:08 am

thanks stid - it's the fountain of saturn!

12:08 am

Yeah Ren that is great!!

12:08 am

knutmeg, I can see where you get your smarts -- your mom was really helpful -- and creative but clear clues.... bet Liv'll be national spelling bee champ when she's a little older!

12:08 am

thanks faerie

whew! 126 is more like it...

good nite sweet babblers...see ya later1

12:11 am

bon nuit, Uneaixsoise!

12:11 am

good night, renfield!

12:11 am

I'm glad she helped you, Stid. I pointed her to this game because of our scrabble games when I was a kid. She and I could whip anyone else's bum in the house. :-)

12:12 am

:-) scrabble is a family tradition here, too.

12:12 am

ok refresh..

12:12 am

Nitey Nite Ren :)

12:14 am

Ok, I'm off to bed also. Happy Babbling eveyone. good night :)

only 98 words left... but that's a big percentage still. hmmm. going to change my icon, BRB

12:22 am

a refresh will be needed, its tiny but there is red in the picture with Liv. :-)

12:23 am

how sweet! she looks like a little doll among her toys!

12:24 am

hi stidmama. didn't do yesterdays grid but almost fell off me chair when i saw there were almost 400 words!

12:25 am

you were the smart one -- was sweating bullets and still didn't finish that one! oh well -- at least 17 missing from 388 is not as bad as 17 missing from 150 :-)

12:26 am

she is about as big as a doll compared to her toys. :-)

12:28 am

wow, 32 words and I'm itching for the list already, there may have been nearly 400 words yesterday, but the monkeytyping start was much easier...

12:30 am

me too -- I think the smaller grids are harder by comparison, even if they take less time. but -- it's all fun, so I don't mind. Just have to remember to step back once in a while and spend time with my man...

12:32 am

definitely like the challenge, too. Spending time with my husband isn't all that hard... for now. In less than two weeks, I'll be going back to work, though and we'll have opposite shifts... THEN it'll be more of a trick.

12:37 am

three more words and i'll be halfway -- that's the point where I feel good about using Lickety's clues. I really do like seeing how many I can find with just the stats page...

12:37 am

dalmation, great icon!

12:39 am

Thanks! This grid is none too easy.

Hey Knutters, I have 49 words and so many of them are 4 letters!!!!! Amazing!!!!

12:40 am

I have all the ms.... think a type of folded corner for the mi 5.

12:40 am

you're ahead of me. time to put my faith in random monkey-typing, I just cannot find words today.

12:41 am

just got the last 'l' also...

12:41 am

maybe you're tired, dear? could it be that sleep is calling you? :-)

12:45 am

sleep does sound like a lovely idea at this point...

12:46 am

I'll see you at some point tomorrow, I expect! ***Liv***

12:48 am

Ha! Refresh to see my shrunken fountain!

hola fish!

1:28 am

i was talking to josh and didn't look down at the laptop for a few minutes

Wassup........It's your fault. Usually, I'm asleep by now.

1:33 am

Yeah, I know. Babble has once again claimed the sleep of a poor unsuspecting person.

Yeah, I got home from singing and just had to take a peak. I'm up to a whopping 11 words.

Isn't LOMEZ a word?

1:35 am

I've only got 66 and I've been steadily working on it for an hour and a half

1:36 am

I really want "swur"

Yeah, and isn't foith some kind of food? .....or should be?

1:39 am

have you found the word list yet?

1:39 am

morning all

1:39 am

hi ruthy

Morning! What the................

Word list? No

1:41 am

look to the right of the screen at friends of babble. click on lickety's and it'll show you all the words you're looking for. (obviously not the words, but the word size and starting 2 letters) check it out

There ain't no stink'n lickety

1:43 am

2nd from the bottom

Oh that lickety......my bad

1:44 am

also angelsong's page has lots of good info on it

What the crap.........it's in hyrogliphics

1:46 am

cracking up over here. what those mean is this: as 5/10 = as (1st two letters) 5 letters long 10 points

1:49 am

25 to go and I am calling it quits for the night. good luck everyone. see you tomorrow

What the crap is a militant Platypus!??

1:50 am

wow joey! nice job, see you tomorrow!

1:51 am

thanks, I tried hard tonight - after yesterday's fiasco......

Hey...I only have 25 to go........to 38

1:52 am

2:30 am

thats me finished

2:32 am

WTG ruthy, how is the grid today, I've only just got here?

2:34 am

Morning everyone, I think I might join you today. How is the grid?

2:35 am

Hi ExWren, just started but so far OK, take it you didn't play yesterday. I didn't, was way too big.

2:39 am

Hi Fmitch. No, I've taken one or two days off in the last week. I was telling you the other day, I've done more work on my family tree. I've just discovered how to look at the National Census on line

2:42 am

There are some really good resources available now via the internet which help the searching.

3:05 am

hey dan,mico, and john!!

Evening!! How is everyone??

3:07 am

Hey MrP, good to see you!

3:07 am

Good morning, all.

FMitch!! good to see you too!

Haz! .... starting to become a party now!

3:09 am

Did you guys finish yesterdays? Morning Haz.

3:10 am

Hello FMitch, MrP and everyone. Yes I finished yesterday's slog.

Oh Fmitch!! Friggin, piggin, swiggin R word was missed!!

3:11 am

I have the f/7 and s/7 discussed in the chat log...is there another s 7?

pine there is an sw and sh

3:12 am

thanks Mr. P

3:12 am

wow, well done Haz, that must have been some marathon. What a shame MrP Pinecone - there are 2 s7's

I am very very cross because I had everything ticked and greyed out!! As far as I was concerned... I was finished and then I find out I wasn't!!

3:13 am

It was a bit of a marathon - my daughter commandeered the computer in the afternoon so I had to finish in the evening when the 'Hurshy show' was on in the chat log - it forced me just to concentrate on my own words though!

Haz, the Hurshy Show??

3:14 am

LOL Haz :)

3:18 am

Sorry - I was called away to the phone. Hurshy has a method of doing the grid that involves an insistence on doing without the list and getting other people to guess what she's missing. I find it extremely tedious!

Tedious indeed... the list saves my butt!! and with yesterdays grid! that would have been hell!

3:20 am

It went on for hours.

If it involves receiving alot of money for guessing... it might be fun! people could place wagers to see if they get the word... otherwise, NO PLAY!

3:21 am

Anyway, on with today's grid.

Just so you all feel for me!!! I am eating boiled fish with spinach!! (grumble, grumble, grumble.... nasty!)

3:26 am

Now, come on, eat up - you know it's good for you!

3:26 am

hhmmm, doesn't sound too appetising. Reminds me must get breatkfast.

3:27 am

morin all

3:27 am

Good morning, hannah lou.

3:33 am

MrP - love all the new bits that lickety has added to his list with the additional stats bit etc

FMitch... thanks! He has made some great improvements and is getting good feedback!

(forces another spoon of fish spinach into mouth.... eeewwwwww.... gulp!)

3:40 am

You're not selling the concept of this dish very well, mrP!

Haz, the concept is simple... GROSS!! give me a home where the mars bars roam and the pancakes are on all day where the seldom is heard about fish and soy curd and the meat isn't boiled and grey!!

3:44 am

LOL

3:45 am

Oh poor you!

THANK YOU!!

Does anyone have a facinating fact they would like to share... am looking for an Odd Spot for Licketys clue page

3:57 am

What is the only mammal that carries venom?

3:58 am

... and is only 1 of 3 mammal species to lay eggs?

3:58 am

I don't know!

3:59 am

the duck billed platypus!

get outta here!! for real??

4:00 am

I sort ofthought that once you said about the egg laying - I didn't know about the venom. And they look so peaceful....

4:00 am

absoultley for real MrP

Fmitch... can I put that on the odd spot for the day?

4:01 am

LOL of course you can.

4:01 am

Ask for a fee, FMitch.....

4:03 am

now where's the fun in that!

4:05 am

just ralised I've been looking for mi5/12 on and off for the last 20 mins or so - it an obvious one?

4:06 am

I haven't got it yet. I'll have a look.

mi5 is the mi4/5 with r on the end

4:06 am

nm found it.

4:07 am

its the bishops hat.

fmitch.... your odd spot is added... go have a look on the righthand side of lickety's page

I will change the 1 of 2 to 1 of 3

4:15 am

hi limecat :D

4:15 am

/me miss limecat :P

4:16 am

Great MrP, only one thing it's 1 of 3 not 1 of 2 :)

hello mica!

4:16 am

how many words today?

126 words today

4:18 am

126 words.

4:18 am

think i better come back later then best finish my work before i tackle this :P

Fmitch... you are the 'maiden voyage!!"

4:21 am

thats me done..... it was quick i think

4:21 am

:) brb on the phone

4:22 am

haz howz u this morin ?

hannah lou gets *~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

4:31 am

just a few vowels today... :)

eeee iii ooo u & u..... a?

4:33 am

Hannah Lou - sorry - was upstairs. I'm fine this morning.

.... and that is what my violin playing sounds like too!

4:35 am

The violin is an instrument which is sublime when played well and horrific when played badly.

4:35 am

With some instruments it makes no difference.....

4:35 am

maybe you could try a crwth instead?

4:36 am

phew! I was hoping for a small one today - I've got to spend most of teh day packing and getting ready to fly off tomorrow morning!

yeah... like the acoustic rap artist

4:37 am

Good morning Atalante.

4:38 am

morning!

4:38 am

What happens to the pets while you are away?

(((atalante))) survivour panama is on!! what to do? what to do??

4:40 am

Hobbit's going to dog prison, I mean her favourite boarding kennels, and Silverclaw is staying here - husband will be here, so she'll have him around mornings and evenings - i just think she's a bit too young and timid to manage well with kennels for 2 weeks. And husband will get Hobbit at the weekends so she'll get 2 days here each week anyway. Their arrangements are more complicated than mine!

4:41 am

dog prison are coming to pick Hobbit up in *gulps* 1 hour and 19 minutes

4:42 am

We've always been fortunate enough to use either my sister-in-law or our daughters as dog-sitters while we're away. I still worry about the dog, though. The daughters don't trouble me at all.....

4:44 am

I know Hobbit will be fine - the kennel owners *love* her (one of the advantages of spaniels, everyone immediatelyloves them!) and the kennels is also a rescue centre - the owners spend their lives looking after anything and everything that gets brought to them, from hedgehogs and ferrets to horses and donkeys - I trust people like that with my Hobbit!

4:45 am

So, it's not so much a term in prison as an educational break! It sounds lovely - do they take humans?

4:47 am

I wish LOL! Its as lovely a place as kennels can be! The dogs have walks every day in their grounds (which are enormous) then get brushed down / washed in their own special heated washing room!! I really want to just go and hug Hobbit madly, and get together her food and basket, but then she'll KNOW something is up!

4:49 am

I understand completely!

4:50 am

I dont mind leaving my husband for a few weeks, but Hobbit? That's trauma!

4:51 am

And I suppose your husband knows this too!

4:51 am

Of course LOL! He knows his station in the grand order of things :P

help needed on the last two mu - 5 - 14's. have monkey typed for ages. last resort is to ask.

4:53 am

One mu5/14 is the comparative for mu4/6 - more quietly

got that one ta, its the last two

4:55 am

Another is mu plus two consonants and the first vowel

4:55 am

Sorry - I should look at the list and be more constructive.

5:00 am

mu + two consonants + 2nd vowel

thanks

I say goodnight! GOODNIGHT (waving)

5:03 am

night mrp!

5:03 am

Good night!

5:04 am

I know its a proper name, but aoife is such a nice word

5:04 am

Well I am done, not a bad grid today, and I must be off. Bye all see you later and have a great trip Atalante.

no wonder i couldn't find them two. i already had them but had ticked off the wrong ones. anyway , all sorted and finished now. good day to all

5:05 am

bye FMitch! see you in 2 weeks :)

5:05 am

Bye FMitch. Have a good day!

5:05 am

Atalante - Irish Gaelic specialises in unpronounceable looking names!

5:06 am

I know! But they do sound beautiful when you've unravelled them!

5:08 am

anyone have the so 6?

5:10 am

I can't believe I'm having to write out instructions on how to empty the litter tray for my husband *facepalm*

5:14 am

so6 - if you have the bitter so4/5, add the first vowel before the last letter, and the third vowel after it.

5:15 am

thanks!

5:16 am

good morning everyone:)

5:17 am

You're welcome, rycaut. And now I must go and do something more constructive - Atalante, if I'm not speaking to you again today, have a great trip!

5:18 am

bye Haz!

5:53 am

morning everyone!

6:11 am

good morning Ginger, and everyone. Grid looks more manageable today than yesterday's, which was brutal.

6:27 am

I love chicken salad. It's totally silly... I've had chicken salad for like... every single meal for the past three days... and I'm still not tired of it.

6:35 am

That was a delightful non-sequitar, Hollybug :) I like Chicken Salad too.

6:36 am

Hehe. :o) Good morning.

6:37 am

Randomness is good. In my humble opinion. And I'm feeling quite random today.

6:38 am

Well this is a good place to indulge in randomness, especially considering we are playing a random grid with random words forming out of random letters

6:40 am

The randomness is now becoming a pattern-chicken salad is one of my favorites too. Especially curried chicken salad with grapes and pecans. Have a wonderful trip Atalante! Hobbit will be fine. Silverclaws will be fine. And just think of the welcome home you'll get. Some other time I'll tell you the story of my husband taking care of our 19 year old cancer ridden cat when I was away in New Mexico.

6:42 am

morning Eva. I actually had Mesquite Chicken Salad last night at Applebees Restaurant with my beloved. (Just another addition to the CS discussion)

6:42 am

EXACTLY Eva! That's totally what I love. Like... I have a thing for foods with interesting textures... and I love the mix of flavors.

6:44 am

also sour cherries,or dried cranberries, and celery, and red onion, or chutney.

6:44 am

I've never had it with cranberries, but I bet it would be awesome. This chicken salad has celery, grapes, apples and pecans.

6:45 am

oh yes, dried cranberries and celery and red onion -- mmm. I found a wonderful dressing called "Cranberry Harvest" that I've become quite fond of lately, especially with chicken salads.

6:45 am

Also, the best ones I've made have been with the left overs from really good rotiserrie chicken.

6:46 am

Getting very hungry. So is Merp. Only a matter of time before he bites the hand that feeds him.

6:46 am

Hi Eva!! are you here?

6:47 am

Who is merp?

6:47 am

Toooooooo maaaaaany vooooweeeeeels!

6:47 am

I agree. I've just about run out of words I can find with no help. But I should probably get read for school soon.

6:47 am

Buenos dias Elena!!! So exciting to see you here again!

6:48 am

The handsome guy in my icon is Merp.

6:49 am

(Merp is secretly the genius behind Eva's success at Babble) :)

6:49 am

awww. Hehe. I have my own babies here. Mikey was mewing at the door, and Big Cat slept with me last night. Joe (the husband) slept on the couch because he's on call and his pager goes off in the middle of the night. I have trouble getting back to sleep... so. He was being nice.

6:50 am

That I have any success at babble is questionable...I sort of limp along. But having someone with fangs hovering over your mouse hand can have a concentrating effect.

6:50 am

lol. I wish Mikey helped me. Unfortunately when he lays on my keyboard... he never types REAL words... just like... aaaawwwwddddd```.

6:51 am

The log this morning has displayed a very interesting theme re the relative positions of husbands and cats(-:

6:51 am

Eva Yes! but I'm getting hungry with all those exquisite chicken salads, and its just only breakfast time All OK? Here it's just the normal-abnormal.. big hugs

6:52 am

lol. I haven't looked back this morning.

6:53 am

Yes, everything is OK. Cindy and I are going for a drive today to a wonderful park by Lake Champlain. Aside from that just the usual creaky body.

6:53 am

(chuckles at Eva's comment) You're right, and if my husband and I were allowed to be owned by cats in our rental, we would be -- and he would understand his rightful position :) As it is, we're 'grandparents' to the neighborhood cats, who know we keep treats on hand.

6:54 am

Does anyone remember an eerie short story by Colette about one spouse murdering the cat out of jealousy? Think we should be careful.

6:54 am

lol.

6:54 am

Eva, have a very nice day, and give my love to Cindy!!!!

6:55 am

Give Milton a hug for me.

6:56 am

ch-I'm all in favor of late in life relationships. I was on my own for 17 years before I met my present partner and soul mate....that was 16 years ago, at the age of 40. So much saner and for better reasons than when younger.

6:57 am

oh-talk about nonsequitors!!! I had just read your bio.

6:57 am

mornin babblers!!

6:58 am

Have to sign off and do non-babble things. See you all later.

6:58 am

oh yes, Eva -- I like the way you put that, saner and for much better reasons. We have both spent significant time growing and getting healthy. He is truly my best friend (next to myself, of course)

6:58 am

Bye Eva! :o)

6:58 am

Bye Eva

6:59 am

The next to yourself is exactly the point! How can you possibly know, let alone appreciate another person, if you haven't gotten up close and personal with yourself?

7:00 am

Absolutely true. And speaking of beloveds, he just woke up :) so I'm off for awhile to say good morning. BBL

7:06 am

Greetings, everyone!!!!

7:09 am

morning

7:10 am

Greetings, Hursh.....

7:10 am

and to you, cinematichomosapien

7:12 am

okay kids. I suppose I will be back later. Have a good day! :o)

7:12 am

LOL, Hursh....

7:13 am

phew, i was afraid the joke wasn't playing well. hi and bye holly!

7:16 am

Hursh - maybe that's what I should rename myself.....

7:17 am

if you like :)

7:32 am

Good morning Good morning to everyone! movie man. Love the new nickname but it is something of a mouthful

7:32 am

more like a handful - since we're typing morning sonorificmaternalfigure

7:33 am

LOL Good morning scrumptiouschocolateydelight

7:33 am

Hiya, the other MM.....

7:34 am

oh, except that is hershey, and that is not where i got my name. however, i could be called worse things than scrumptiouschocolateydelight

7:34 am

Hey, Hursh, swallowed a thesaurus have we.....LOL

7:34 am

Good Morning Babblers - Yeah for a short grid :)

7:34 am

Hiya mm1 - - Hey I watched Spartacus last night. It was good but I was expecting more total action. I don't know why. I was surprised by the love story and development of story. I'm definitely not sorry i watched it.

7:35 am

actually my mother ate the pages of one whilst i was in the womb

7:35 am

it's a modern greek tragedy

7:36 am

It's early - haven't had my coffee yet - best I could do. Give me a couple minutes to sip the java and I can probably come up with something mathematical.

7:36 am

Wellhowtheheckiseveryonetoday? *teehee*

7:36 am

Morning faerie

7:36 am

Yes, mm2, it is a good film, and not a lot of people are aware that Kubrick directed it..... In terms of Kubrick films, it's not as widely known as say, 2001, a Clockwork Orange or The Shining.....

7:37 am

no no i am glad to be scrumptious

7:37 am

Hiya, faerie....

7:38 am

Loved Clockwork Orange. Have never seen the Shining. Maybe I should check that one out. More recently and not Kubrick but I also watched Cold Mountain and Coach Carter this week. Enjoyed both of them also. Cold Mountain was neat because of the ending -- can't be termed happy or sad I think.

7:38 am

Music - you better get you coffe Hon. You may need it to function today. You were up late last night and I'll gulping mine down like water :)

7:38 am

morning pixieisheleventhletter

7:38 am

Or, Eyes Wide Shut (chiming into the Kubrick mention) which I thought was brilliant but misunderstood

7:38 am

and chidozendozen

7:39 am

No doubt Faerie - I couldn't believe when I looked at the clock how late it was when I left the log. Felt bad leaving with Stid so close to finishing but I was exhausted. I've already hit the yoga mat this morning. I'll be fine. Java is beside me

7:39 am

{{{MovieMan}}} Good morning...can you believe I finished yesterdays grid. I'm so proud of myself. Angelsong helped me switch to firefox a few days ago and I'm blown away at how much better the game goes for me now.

7:39 am

i suppose that's why Java the computer thing is called that - they drank so much while creating it

7:40 am

Mus*

7:40 am

morning!

7:40 am

brb Max just threw up right by my chair....*yuch*

7:40 am

faeriekae, is the firefox that much different than Explorer? I've been wondering.

7:40 am

Belated Bravo for Faerie. Terrific!!!

7:41 am

I'm not faerie but YES in my most humble opinion firefox is ten times better than explorer. Morning Angel

7:42 am

infernovulpes is much more picturesque than magellanlikebrowser to say the least

7:42 am

Hurshy you are killing me. Ca you keep that up all day?

7:42 am

Specifics, please -- what makes it better?

7:42 am

ch1212 Firefox is tons better than IE in my opinion. Firefox has been my default browser for three years. I use it for everything, and love it.

7:42 am

And also, Full Metal Jacket, which is, in my opinion, one of THE best war films ever made...... I especially admire R. Lee Ermey's performance as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman...... "What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when you were a child? "

7:42 am

i probably won't want to :)

7:44 am

just hit 100! doubt i can finish before class without listing though.

7:44 am

Yep enjoyed Full Metal Jacket. My MIL loves that movie which would crack you up if you knew her.

7:44 am

movieman, that's not your moniker for nothing -- you hit it on the head with that performance in FMJ, which is (I agree) even better than Apocolypse Now.

7:44 am

LOL Hurshy. I just realized I haven't even put any words in my list yet. I've seen some just haven't typed them.

7:45 am

for one thing, Firefox is more secure than IE. not as many security holes as IE, and those there may be get fixed quickly. Extensions make it possible to have all kinds of extra convenient features, and I can use different extensions on different Firefox profiles. I have one profile set up fo daily use, one for work, one for Babble...

7:45 am

words words words oh how i love them much better than turds or even than birds give me lots of wooooooords!

7:45 am

I'm back - Music was going to tell ya that I stayed to the flip and clued.

7:46 am

I like being able to open different tabs instead of windows. Much easier for switching between babble and my office:-)

7:46 am

LOLOL Hurshey

7:46 am

yeah yeah tabs good

7:47 am

Hursh - how many cups of coffee have you had? I want what you're having. Good for you Faerie - then you are probably more exhausted than I am. Did Stid finish?

7:47 am

they need to read harry potter don't they know about floo powder???

7:47 am

hurshy never has had coffee in whole life! very proud of this. and have consumed no food or drink today yet.

7:47 am

Firefox has been my default browser for about a year now..... I'm signed up with AOL, but I only ever use that for checking my e-mails, even though I have two e-mail addresses.....

7:47 am

Mmmm. Sounds like we need to take a closer look at Firefox. Thank you so much for your input.

7:48 am

Maybe floo is a brand name?<G>

7:48 am

oh... good point sonorificmaternalfigure (henceforth SMF)

7:49 am

hmmmmm maybe I should starve myself........nah

7:49 am

I recently started using firefox because of issues with Safari, I like it helluva lot. And good morning to all.

7:49 am

And I'm now CHS....

7:49 am

todays theme?

7:49 am

greetings infamousgangster

7:49 am

Music - No Stid didn't get to finish but she was very close I felt bad for her ;(

7:50 am

That new nickname sounds .....uhm......... exotic. Thanks Hursh. I'll never remember you are talking to me. Capone - I also switched from Safari. Morning!

7:50 am

CHS, i went to CHS (Coventry High School)! :)

7:50 am

fountains

7:50 am

Looks like y'all are having too much fun here today! Wish I could stay, but just popped in to make sure Music Mom wasn't slacking! I'll need those clues tonight when I might finally have a chance to begin the grid. If I start now, I will miss Bible study and COM! :)

7:50 am

And greetings to you, Capone..... I would say "Good Morning", but it's nearly 14:00 over here....

7:50 am

Capone - anything Red is the theme

7:50 am

infamous gangster? me? As I told TSM last night, I'm just a hump from Jersey....

7:51 am

ooh military time. i LOVE military time.

7:51 am

Hey BGL - have a good day. I'll be done before you know it. (hahahahahhhaaa I only have 2 words in my list even though I have typed a thousand in the chat).

7:51 am

oh faerie i think you are mixed up, today is fountains

7:51 am

Faerie - red is TOMORROW'S theme.....

7:52 am

BGL -- btw --- good thinking on the number of pieces of taffy and yes we can coordinate packing. My curling iron sucks - can I use yours?

7:52 am

what's today theme ----- fountains.... brb

7:54 am

Damnit Faerie!!!! I chose the dvd cover for the Ah-nold/Jim Belushi classic "Red Heat" as my "Red" icon. lol

7:54 am

As tomorrow's theme is red, I'll be choosing a certain cosmos based craft that goes by the moniker of crimsonshortperson.....

7:54 am

don't sweat it capone - use it tomorrow.

7:54 am

i think i picked out an apple for tomorrow. i am very dull.

7:55 am

apples aren't dull

7:55 am

movieman, I thought that was a type of star, not spacecraft :)

7:55 am

no they are YUMMY!! my dad always pretends that he doesn't like them and says he eats them in order to rid the world of them.

7:56 am

Hurshy - just curious. Have you found all the w words without the list? They are funky with it

7:57 am

*lightbulbs go on over heads as everyone realizes now why hurshy is so weird*

7:57 am

yes i have all the w's.

7:58 am

Tell your dad he can't have mine. I'll take care of it for him.

7:58 am

will do SMF

7:58 am

and you have only one w and one a in your grid? Don't clue me I can figure this out.

7:59 am

wow i am so stuck now.

7:59 am

OOHHHHHH DUH I'm a dork!

8:00 am

my husband told me that dork means whale penis! yikes! i am going to pretend i don't know that.

8:00 am

Hursh - you couldn't clue me up with my last 3 w's could ya? I already have the wh4/9, the wa4/9, and the wa6/33....

8:00 am

Oh joy!! Well I'm not that but I definitely need a crate of fish

8:01 am

there is another wh4/9 which is real if slangy, and two more odd wa 4/9s

8:01 am

You can clue him or I can - I have them now.

8:01 am

anybody have the u from the bottom row?

8:01 am

Who is SMF? And refresh. Thats Friendship Fountain on the southbank of the St. Johns river here in Jville

8:02 am

SMF is musicmom (sonorificmaternalfigure)

8:02 am

It's me Capone sonorificmaternalfigure

8:02 am

capone - and I am now CHS (cinematichomosapiens)....

8:03 am

and YOU are IG (infamousgangster)

8:03 am

while *I* am SCD

8:03 am

hi everyone

8:04 am

but only due to a fortunate homonymical coincidence

8:04 am

hey hey my friend!

8:04 am

Ok, SMF is a nickname the guys at work use for me on occasion. Along with SOB, MFDH, SPOS, POS, CSMF and a few others I won't type here.

8:05 am

oh DEAR. these are not like that, IG.

8:05 am

I don't like IG, can I just be JC?

8:06 am

oh well you can just be capone, or whatever you want, we're just goofing around

8:06 am

LOL Hurshy and Capone - are you trying to tell me something? I thought you liked me.

8:06 am

JC is fine. ;p

8:06 am

not ME not ME i do not speak in such manners

8:07 am

Thats what you get for thinking Mmom. just kidding!

8:07 am

thinking? thinking? I thought that is what we were supposed to do here hehehehehee.

8:07 am

TSM's new nickname can be SL (spider lover)

8:08 am

No she would have to be digitcoveringprimate. DCP

8:08 am

how funny that the whole middle column today is vowels

hello everyone!

8:08 am

and capone's can be LP. little prick. of a needle of course :P

8:08 am

SMF gets the idea very well

8:09 am

RFLOL -- Ata that was great.

8:09 am

Gotta go, I'm just nipping up town for an hour or so.... Be back later.....

8:09 am

hello synagoguebucephera

8:10 am

DONE...anyone need a clue??

8:10 am

LP.... 8*( I told her not to tell anybody!

8:11 am

yeah, ochita! please, u from the bottom row?

8:11 am

Bye chs I'll brb need more java.

8:11 am

sorry capone. couldnt help it!

8:11 am

how CLOSE we came to having zither. :(

yay ouwa! does anyojne understand the rankings? i did yesterday's marathon and did not advance one single point!

8:12 am

you mean in the elders one, TO? (or SB now)... maybe it just hasn't updated yet...

8:12 am

TO that happened to me last week and Dr._God said to give it a day or two and see if it fixed itself and it did. Bravo Ouw.

8:12 am

owl...there is an explanation for the rankings on the left side of the rankings page

8:13 am

That's a great instrument too bad it isn't here.

8:13 am

hurshy...it is all vowels

i lost points because i left 8 words in the easter day puzzle ( no time to finish)

8:14 am

no wonder i haven't got it then. yikes, there are a lot of possibilities then. length/points?

8:14 am

good morning all. didn't finish yesterday's marathon. I tried to do it like Hurshy and only found just over a 100 words. Of course didn't work on it all day though. 47 left to find today using Lickety's page.....

8:15 am

hurshy...er5/12...add 3 vowels

8:15 am

hurshy...sorry...that is ur5/12...not er5/12

8:16 am

TO I lost major points last week because I didn't finish the grid that was almost 500 words. I've been wanting to get to 1000 in the cream of the crop but I backslid terribly with that one. Couldn't resist playing though. Go bbnaz!

8:17 am

phew, because i was really confused there...but so then it is not ALL vowels? it is UR7?

8:17 am

ur5 hursh

8:17 am

no wait it can't be have the 7's...you are only saying that it IS a 5/12 i am so dumb sorry

8:18 am

Okay now I'm pouring coffee brb.

8:18 am

phew, got it, glad that's over

8:19 am

atalante? how you doing?

8:20 am

faffing really. 46 words to go while trying to pack at the same time

8:20 am

pack pack pack will you be able to babble while away? and where were you yesterday?

8:20 am

this is the fountain in my garden but you can't see it very well. It's a faerie fountain and she is holding a calla lilly where the water come out :)

is there a clue in for ur 5 somewhere in that discussion?

8:21 am

yesterday - refusing to get into a big grid while running round madly! andno babble :( this is last babble for2 weeks!

8:22 am

but now you can refresh for the one I'll use today

8:22 am

oh NO!!!!! yes temple the clue is that after the ur it is all vowels

8:22 am

to - ur and then start adding the vowels in order

8:23 am

i'm doing so well today atalante. yesterday i think i may have driven sprite a little crazy...

8:24 am

poor spritey!

8:24 am

did she say anything this morning like "that hurshy sure is nuts"

8:25 am

didnt see her this morning!

8:25 am

oh no, i broke sprite.

8:25 am

well hurshy I wouldn't say that you are nutz.....in fact after trying your method yesterday, I am even more impressed.........with you ability to work without the list.

8:26 am

atalante and sprite do it better :)

8:26 am

do what better?

8:26 am

find words without the list

8:26 am

bbnaz - my goal is to be trying without the list this summer when I can sit on the deck and watch the kids in the pool and not have to prepare lesson plans or girl scout meetings.

8:27 am

nahhhhhhh

8:27 am

i am a humble apprentice

8:27 am

nahhhhhhhhhh

8:27 am

let the force flow you, young padawan

8:27 am

well i am waving from a planet far far away!

8:27 am

flow THROUGH you!

8:27 am

sprite had like 133 to go when i first saw her yesterday and i had like 20 or 30 something and she still beat me.

8:28 am

sounds familiar

8:28 am

We must be builidng up for earth day - those earth words have been in a lot of recent grids.

8:29 am

Just curious - when you work without the list do you get as many clues from the log as possible or do you also ignore those?

8:30 am

i usually can't help seeing them. and when they are for weird words, i am glad of that!

8:30 am

but i do NOT look at the chat until i am at least half done

8:31 am

Faerie, Atalante said I was LP.... 8(

8:31 am

praes u lurking

8:31 am

capone - you can spin it though - make it long playing :)

8:32 am

I try to ignore the chat when I first start - even when I go with the list. I try to do as much as possible without the help. It's hard sometimes though. Yesterday i was taking every clue and used the list from the get go because I wanted to finish.

8:33 am

i give thanks and hallelujas for the chat on most days. without these mental giants, this pea squiddler would NEVER finish..............

8:34 am

If it hadn't been for Faerie and Jainnaih (sp) last night I wouldn't have finished. I was slugging to the end. Very grateful they were here.

8:36 am

awww *blush* You could have done it Music :)

8:37 am

{{Capone}} there, there, now....what is LP :)

8:37 am

No way faerie. I was going to just quit and give up and you guys kept me going.

8:38 am

Little prick.

8:39 am

I was happy to be able to help Music. You guys help me all the time and I love to be able to return the favor. And I think we determined that " curve letter is "c" and hook letter is "r" LOL

8:39 am

Absolutely! One hump is an n and two humps is an m

8:40 am

But Capone - aren't you???

8:40 am

and a snake is an s

8:40 am

HELLOOOO

8:41 am

well just wanted to say hello... no time right now to play .... good luck everyone :) lata!

9:12 am

10 more points to you then jai (you are good at GWHIM!)

9:12 am

back for quick round II this morning -- hello to all who arrived. Clue please for the he 6/27? And/or the hu 6/27?

9:12 am

jai, yes I do. It's a hobby that got out of hand!

9:13 am

he6 jai's clue is just down a little hu6 funny bones

9:13 am

most hobbies do Harp - you should see my sewing room.

9:13 am

he 6/27 cross head and fume

9:13 am

Harpjane, shouldn't that be a "hobby that got INTO hand" ? :) Or into fingers ...

9:13 am

hu6/27 - would be more than one funny bone (latin plural)

9:14 am

Well, this grid looks miserable. Seems like we either have too many vowels or not enough.

9:14 am

okie dokie now jai, care to continue your brilliant streak with my missing M in the fourth row?

9:14 am

he6/27 - h plus French for water (*** de toilette) and end with personal pronoun

9:14 am

It really isn't bad at all Judi.

9:14 am

lol ch1212! Hey, I meant to ask you, where are you moving in WA? East or West?

9:14 am

Vary cool, harp- I play viola and piano, and knutmeg plays French horn really well...(secret)

9:15 am

remind me not to tell jai any secrets

9:15 am

To Seattle area, harpjane. My beloved will go to University for either another Masters (he has 2) or his Doctorate. I'm actually looking forward to the rain!

9:16 am

f horn is my second favorite instrument, viola is right up there too. Something about those mid-range sounds that appeals to me, I guess.

9:16 am

me 6/21?

9:16 am

thanks for the clues, Haz, Jai and hurshy! Got them

9:17 am

me 6/21 is more of me 4/5

9:17 am

nope, i have that one, for babble is my me6/21

9:17 am

me6/21 is French for profession or leaning. me plus ti4/4

9:17 am

lol ch1212, no it isn't, it just looks that way

9:18 am

how bout what kitties say plural?

9:18 am

:) I know. I was being silly

9:18 am

oh haz, jai wasn't asking but guessing in ye olde game of GWHIM

9:18 am

Wow we could have an orchestra. I play piano and my husband plays oboe and sax. My daughter is a beginning flute student.

9:18 am

yes indeedy for i have 3 cats

9:18 am

Cool, your beloved will fit right in at UW, lots of people with master's degrees waiting tables! There's a wonderful old church in the vicinity. I forget what it's called. I went to mass there a couple of years ago.

9:19 am

well ok then i like silly

9:20 am

Or a band- hubby plays bari sax; knut plays French horn; Katie plays flute and piccolo; and Kim also plays oboe and xylophone during marching season.....

9:21 am

We're looking forward to it. Looked up several parishes on the Diocesan directory, and Seattle has DOZENS of parishes. Here in Idaho Catholics are a real minority -- there is one parish in Twin Falls (population 35,000), but dozens of LDS stake wards (the predominant religion here)

9:21 am

my degree was in voice and piano so I could also sing.

9:21 am

ch1212-yup. been there!

9:22 am

music mom, maybe we could start out each game with a rousing chorus of the alphabet song!

9:22 am

spock did a little too much LDS at berkeley in the 60's....

9:22 am

soprano 1 here!!!!! "here Ye, Israel" nearly killed me....

9:23 am

lol hurshy, I gotta start playing the game here!

9:23 am

That is the funniest line in any ST movie, hurshy -- especially to those of us who have LDS friends, are LDS, or live in a predominantly LDS area. The whole theatre just broke up laughing around here.

9:23 am

which game, harp? babble, or GWHIM?

9:24 am

Wow, another one bites the dust

9:24 am

heading back home now, see y'all in a few mins

9:24 am

ExWren, you finished? Congrats!

9:24 am

LOL harp that would be great. I'm a true mezzo soprano although I've been enlisted for sop 1 at times.

9:25 am

Bravo Exwren

9:26 am

ty ch...I've not played properly for a few days, I won't get involved with the biggies

9:26 am

your voice must sound beautiful, musicmom. I am such a low alto that when I was in Seminary Choir they had me sing tenor. Of course, I was the only female among 70+ students, so that's probably why too. Still, I held my own!

9:26 am

Help, I'm stuck for an fe4. have the one with the two point tile as the third letter, and the one for afraid.

9:27 am

do you have the thing at the bottom of your legs?

9:27 am

Good Morning, Everyone. Wow! I haven't been doing Babble for very long ... just turned Pro last night ... but ths seems to be one of the stranger ones ... so many vowels!

9:27 am

fe4/7 - look down at what is attached to your legs.

9:28 am

Gotta get back to the puzzle!!!!! See you later!!!

9:28 am

I'm 2nd Alto as well, and my husband is bass. His choir is holding a St. George's Day concert on Sunday

9:28 am

Hi Merk! Congrats on going Pro

9:28 am

Hey Merk - you got your icon. Wooohoooo!!!!! Welcome to the pro world.

9:28 am

welcome merk!

9:29 am

where is your handbag merk?

9:29 am

i'm back, very nice merk!

9:29 am

ch1212, I'd be happy to share information about Firefox with you if you'd like to e mail me.

9:30 am

ei6/21? em624? et5/12? Then I can eat breakfast.

9:31 am

5 points to harp for em 6/24 ei - ei6/or et5 - old anaesthetic

9:31 am

ei 6/21 is often said with 'or' to give alternatives to something.

9:31 am

Thanks, angelsong -- I mentioned it to my husband this morning after getting the other feedback, and we agreed to explore it a bit more. I'll email you through your resource page link.

9:31 am

I'm going to take a break and do some cleaning. Lots of company coming this weekend and next. Be back in a bit.

9:32 am

em 6 -- take your em4/6 and add a cross letter + second vowel

9:32 am

em6/24 - extends the previous em4 with almost all of a beverage that sounds like a letter

9:33 am

Time for dog walking. Happy hunting.

9:33 am

missing one i - any takers?

9:34 am

wooohooo. got em! thanks

9:34 am

Handbag? You tell me. I have no idea where it is, what it's function is, or how to get one. I asked someone last night, but I don't think they understood my question.

9:34 am

that'll be an easy one to get points on just by process of elimination

9:34 am

it6 - I bet - I'm having trouble with it

9:34 am

10 points mm for NOT using elimination, bang on the dot.

9:35 am

merk tell it your gender

9:35 am

Merk - fill in your bio and check the box that asks if you want it to show. Then you will have a handbag.

9:35 am

Merk, I think if you check the tickbox in your profile page to display your profile, your handbag will appear.

9:35 am

If you find it will you clue it?

9:35 am

mm how much is it worth?

9:36 am

Off to the post office -- BBL.

9:36 am

of course, mm!!

9:36 am

I don't deserve 10 points. I understand the rules now<G>

9:36 am

merk, it indicates male or female in your profile

9:36 am

24 points hurshy. Can you see how I'm cleaning the piano room.

9:37 am

So where do I get the female handbag?

lol, female handbag...Funny. I never saw a handbag until now. just a head with pink sholders or blue shoulders. Welcome Merck. Hi gang.

9:38 am

i should have thought of that before! mm - it has to do with repeating a process... it's a latin singular...

9:38 am

Merk - click on the my profile at the top of this page. In the optional (other ) information box put a check mark in the show profile.

9:39 am

35 points left up for grabs in GWHIM - two R's one from each box, one M from fourth row, two F's and two S's

9:41 am

hurshy the weirdest r for me was a 5, re then ending in the first part of the long word for not permanent?

9:41 am

Hursh me4/6 there is only one of them.

9:42 am

Hurshy, just curious: what is GWHIM?

9:42 am

5 points to joey!!! angelsong - "guess what hurshy is missing"

9:42 am

ru 4/6

9:42 am

sorry mm, had that already

9:43 am

LOL...that's cute, Hurshy...

9:43 am

yippee. tyvm

9:43 am

hursh do you have two ra5/12?

ru = lady from the Bible

9:44 am

that leaves one R from bottom row, one M from 4th, and the 2 F's and 2 S's

9:44 am

thanks for the it btw.

9:44 am

Thank you for asking faerie, I didn't like to ask in case it was too obvious

9:44 am

OK, we'll see if my handbag shows now.

9:44 am

9:44 am

so6/21 hurshy

9:47 am

aha, 5 more points then to you MM

9:48 am

two F's, one R from bottom, one M from fourth row

9:48 am

see I could be good at this game.

9:48 am

:) you are good mm. :)

9:49 am

there is an ri4/5 and ri5/12

9:49 am

this third 5/12, is it all vowels after the sh?

9:50 am

yup, have those exwren

9:51 am

no hurshy it ends with a consonant. it is also a biblical word

9:51 am

no, it is hell, nvm

9:51 am

there are 10 dreaded re's

9:51 am

got it thanks mm :)

9:51 am

well exwren it can't be an re because it is from the bottom

9:52 am

alright, be awkward

9:53 am

hehe by the way, i am now missing 3 4's and a 6 - if you get the 6 next i can prob find the rest by monkeying :) which means i would award you extra points. so your choices are R, M, F

9:53 am

well you've got the ru, so it must be one of the 4 ra's

9:53 am

indeed, i have only 3 ra's

9:54 am

5 points to exwren!

9:54 am

two 4's and two 5's

9:54 am

that leaves one M and 2 F

9:54 am

yeah i found it exwren, but thanks :)

9:55 am

and yes, i have four fo words relating to the thing at the bottom of my leg, before anyone asks

9:58 am

do you have the ma4/9?

9:58 am

yup yup

9:59 am

I've been lurking... but do you have fl 6/27 or fo 6/30

9:59 am

5 points cheesio, i do not have fl6!

9:59 am

You should have 8 me's

9:59 am

got mi6/24 hursh?

10:00 am

yay points! :)

10:00 am

yes ata - was surprised to see that scottish word in there

10:00 am

fo 6? last 4 letters are a type of tiny, tiny burrowing bug?

10:00 am

oh exwren, you are now becoming too list-like... you can't play GWHIM that way :)

10:00 am

all my other words are common ones still, sorry :(

10:01 am

'sok ata :)

10:01 am

dear guppie this was harder than yesterday club

10:01 am

fl 6? f in front of a lo 5?

10:02 am

Good morning all. The very first word I saw was an m6--a word my grandMOTHER used to use of being worried, anxious, flustered--"Dinna ****** thysen".

10:02 am

joey, cheesio already got that one, but 5 points anyway!

10:03 am

so that leaves an f4 and m4

10:03 am

oh, well. how about the fo 6 - got that one?

10:03 am

look hershy, either you want help or you don't. I have finished the puzzle, i'm not quoting from a list

10:04 am

f 4 is an fl? follows ice?

10:04 am

exwren - i don't mean to appear critical, it's just that the point of the game is for people to guess, not to tell me there are that many of something, because then i might as well get the list. but as always, people should only play the game if they find it fun, it is by no means compulsory.

10:05 am

yes joey have those :)

10:05 am

I'm back - long phone call.

10:05 am

i do appreciate your willingness to help though exwren!! :) :)

10:06 am

how about fe 4/8?

10:06 am

fe with a chair and a squiggle?

10:06 am

5 more points to cheesio!

10:07 am

and to joey - that was a tie, i'd say :)

10:07 am

I won't interfere again with your game

10:07 am

last word, you all are excellent players! m4, fourth row. if someone tells me the point total i can just monkey it.

10:08 am

exwren, please don't take it the wrong way - it's just my quirkiness!

10:10 am

please, do forgive me for being a silly young whippersnapper :)

10:11 am

exWren, I would welcome a clue for the fo6/30, please and thank-you (or thanks to anyone who can provide.)

10:11 am

ch - joey gave a lovely clue for that at 10:00

10:13 am

exwren, exwren, where are you? the last thing hurshy wants is to hurt anyone's feelings!

10:13 am

thanks for the compliment from the master clue giver, I am honored.

10:14 am

thx hurshy - got it

10:18 am

10:20 am

I cannot find two words, and would appreciate help- so 6/21 and te6/18. HELP!!!!! Thanks :o)

10:21 am

so 7/21 start's like campbell's tomato and ends with white house press secretary fleischer

10:21 am

te 6/18 = te 5/10 + second vowel

10:21 am

te 6/18 latin plural of prev te5

10:22 am

i meant 6/21, obviously, sorry.

10:22 am

great clue, hurshy!

10:22 am

thanks une

10:24 am

10:24 am

Bam Bam Bam <------------Jai slaps forehead repeatedly.....Thank you!!!!

lo6--think signs reading "no lo----ing" --where the powers that be don't want folks hanging around

10:25 am

lo 6/18 the most passive illegal act

10:25 am

I think the me4/6 is an abbrev. for ********* spirits

10:25 am

me 4/6 short form of a bad drug me 5/12 not a yard but a ....

10:26 am

sh 5/12 hebrew word for hell.

10:26 am

10:30 am

Hurshy, sorry, Hebrew is rusty. any thing else. and the me 4/6 that i am missing is not the bad drug. got the me 5 need the fish for that one, must be not enough brain cells awake this morning.. loved the lo clue - got it right away. thanks

10:31 am

1000 points to joey, that is what i need too then. sh5 assonates with what you are in if you jump from a plane with no chute

10:32 am

me add french for or

10:33 am

i cannot be excited over finishing or the very excellent game of GWHIM because i am inconsolable from offending exwren.

10:33 am

Joey--how's your Latin? The me4 you want may be the latin term for "measure" ; as for the Hebrew, try third person pronoun--feminine--followed by the middle letters of "hole"

10:34 am

I'm totally stuck on he 5/14 and 6/24 any help please?

10:35 am

he 5/14 peewee he***** cut off last letter. latin pl for 6.

10:36 am

Thank you! i'm sure I tried that... all done now :D

10:36 am

oh wait do you not know about him in england??? shoot.

10:36 am

oh you do, good.

10:36 am

hurshey, take heart. I'm sure ex-wren has simply popped off to do chores or whatever, having finished for the day, and will be back tomorrow perky as ever. No one could be really offended by your spirit.

10:37 am

well if i don't see her, anyone that does, tell her how i feel ok?

10:38 am

Success! For the first time, I finished a puzzle.

10:38 am

congrats, biggles!

10:39 am

thank you.

10:40 am

thanks for the points, Latin is better than the Hebrew that is for sure. and the me 4 is the last one for me. (had to actually do some work for a moment)

10:42 am

joey, did you see my 10:32 clue for the me?

10:43 am

yeah biggles!

10:43 am

yup, i keep getting interrupted. have to get something done, then I will get back for this last tiny, tiny one.

10:45 am

GOT IT, GOT IT. that was harder than usual for me..... thanks for all the help

10:46 am

congrats, joey!

10:46 am

wtg biggles. feels good doesn't it. you can actually have a life for the rest of the day - or get some work done!

10:48 am

he6/27?

10:49 am

he 6/27 looks like it would sound like the actor who played benson

10:52 am

hurshy, that clue sailed all the way over my head.

clue for fo7,40 please

10:56 am

Robert Guillaume. French. Silent "L's". Still sailed over my head too.

10:57 am

sorry! :( it was just what stuck out at me about the word. fo7 - more like the thing at the end of your leg

10:57 am

fo 7/40, like fo 6/27, but more so

thanx, abe79

10:59 am

I know about Rober Guiillaume...but I"m still drawing a blank on the he6/27 clue...

11:00 am

cute photo, rumple!

11:00 am

yw rumplestittskin. still confused about he 6/27

11:00 am

he6, ends like his name

11:01 am

Fair to Midland rocks!, check 'em out!

11:01 am

11:02 am

11:02 am

he6/27 clue: he = symbol for gold + singular personal pronoun

11:03 am

put a plus where the = is in the he clue I just gave :)

11:04 am

hey temple! odd grid today. even odder chat log

11:04 am

back for my last 33. The piano room still isn't clean but the porches are all swept, the grill is ready to cook dinner and the surfaces on the cabinets are cleared. Lunch and babble time.

11:04 am

that would be my fault, i suppose, smaller...

yes - i'm about to bail - too nice to spend lunch indoors!

11:05 am

Hi all......

BTW - my fountain was in the movie the sixth sense...so that makes it in phiadelphia of course!

11:06 am

Hi cait.

smaller, I'm with you. Been lurking for a while, reread chat log and have learned the true meaning of "dork", know more about a platypus than I can ever use, and other assorted oddball info. lots of words too no, doubt, some great clues...

has the dork thing been verified?

11:07 am

Oops the dork thing was my fault.

I went to webster and saw that it is used as a slang for male genitalia...couldn't find the whale thing though.

11:08 am

What have i been missing?(looking back at log)

11:09 am

LOL MM and misstear!

you never know what you will find with you look back for clues...

11:14 am

Its gone very quiet out there Spooky!!!!!!!

11:14 am

Please, what's all this about a whale's dork? I can't scroll back today!

11:15 am

it's the th5/14 for the day

11:15 am

I said I was a dork and someone said that is what a whale's penis is called. :-P

11:18 am

Well what do you know. I had it all the time. Ta.

anyone care to know the definitions? a dork is someone socially inept - MM i don't think that applies to you - do you?

11:19 am

awww, temple owl!!!! that's soooo sweet!! and MM - she's right! totally not you

11:19 am

I'd like to think not TO but considering things Capone was calling me earlier..... hehehee

11:20 am

Im here with a student showing her what this is. Sorry for the interruption

11:20 am

thanks Smaller.

11:20 am

I just used dork because I didn't want to type ignoramous

well - that's different - LOL! besides - i have taken the nerd, geek dork test and i am 69% nerd!

11:21 am

LOL

yo deutsch!

11:22 am

Hey temple!

11:23 am

Hi Deutsch and student

11:24 am

Hi Caitlyn! student says hi!

11:25 am

Grid looks manageable. I haven't started. What's it like?

11:26 am

Hi gang. It's friendly today.

blazed through first 60 words easy, but slowed then after. But the log is very fruitful...down to 26 now in less than 2 hours.

11:31 am

Hey, gang! I need help with the me5/20, please?

11:32 am

More than youe me4/9

11:32 am

Thanks, miss! I have to shut down the machine. I'll see you all in about 2 hours. Thanks!

11:34 am

*SMACK* Sad when the simple plural is passed over as we search frantically for weird exotic words...

11:34 am

Bye, Deutsch!

11:35 am

jera that fish is beginning to stink!! Here have a fresh one LOL

11:36 am

I do that ALL the time Jera.

11:36 am

No, you keep it... I'm too embarrassed... dare I ask about the horrible mu's? I am lacking a 4 & a 5... no idea which ones...

11:37 am

Got the 4.

11:37 am

The first 5 mu's all begin with the same three letters.

11:37 am

both mu5 are similar but end with a different vowel

11:37 am

or there is more silent for an mu5

11:37 am

Jera two of the mu 4/6 combos have differen tvowel endings

11:37 am

I need help with the second mu5/14, please

11:39 am

Jera -- is that the mu that makes things quieter?

11:39 am

My typing is getting worse !!

11:39 am

Got it... thanks for the vowel tips. Coulda sworn I tried that 3 times already!

11:39 am

That's the last one, stidmama (I think!)

11:39 am

Hey stid!!! Jera - I swear the grid wasn't taking things I was typing last night. Only would take it when I humbled myself for a clue.

11:39 am

good day, all! back for more punishment...

11:40 am

Now I just have two re's left, a 5 & a 6... Someone hold me...

11:40 am

this is fairly friendly one today stid.

11:41 am

yes, I got to about 50 words to go before I left at the flip. haven't needed the list or clues yet... :-) lots better so far than yesterday!

11:41 am

Hi stidmama

11:41 am

I need the last re5/12, & the very last re, please??

11:42 am

re +t 4/4

11:42 am

is ch1212 here, still?

11:43 am

hi caitlyn -- I suppose you-all can tell I got the wrong th*** for today, but am too lazy to change it right now!

11:43 am

last re5: fix your shoelace again

I go away for a couple of days and BOOM! Things change, Lickety upgrades the clues page, and I think I'm in love with it!

11:44 am

11:44 am

Welcome home leigh

11:44 am

11:44 am

Hi boreetos

11:44 am

*boreetos* I didn't see you yesterday...

11:44 am

wow, lets see if I can really misspell "morning" now... molajdsgoaudgo. yeah that's better.

12:04 pm

Jera - fountains. Mikey - Hi - bye - be back soon.

12:05 pm

12:05 pm

There is only on ot5, bor... do you need the om4?? Leave something out

12:05 pm

Bye musicmom Bye Boreetos

12:06 pm

bye musicmom!

12:06 pm

Okay, i have a quick Spring Cleaning question... what is it that you aren't supposed to mix or it will kill you? Is that bleach & ammonia??

12:06 pm

okay, i'm disappearing into the grid for a while.... *poof*

Jera- Yes. My boyfriend did that once in his toilet and he was not doing so well afterwards.

12:07 pm

*looks confused at all the comings & goings*

<-----Done. Jera. Don't mix those too, the fumes can make you vomit, or have dizzy spells. You probably will lose some brain cells you really would like to keep for babbling.

12:08 pm

Okay, good. I had some stuff I wanted to thin out as I'm a bit allergic, wanted to be safe... I much prefer vinegar, anyway!

12:08 pm

scatty, please help--your clues " hook" and "big curly " simply mystify me

12:08 pm

The gods know I don't need to lose any more braincells...

12:08 pm

YAY misstearweus!

12:08 pm

Well done misstear

12:09 pm

hook is a (r) and big curlys are (e)

12:09 pm

I have some murphy's oil soap & some all-purpose cleaner... I can add water to those, right? What about vinegar?

I add water to the oil soap often, so you should be good.

12:10 pm

Huzzah for misstearweas!!

12:10 pm

I'm used to the cheap stuff, but I made the mistake of sending my husband out for some cleaning stuff. I usually do drugstore.com

clues anyone before I'm off to lunch?

12:11 pm

Bless you, Scatty. How are you feeling now, Hurshy? I missed you too, Mikey

12:11 pm

I think I'm off to lunch as well, maybe some grownup tv before the littlies get home...

12:12 pm

Bye Jera

12:12 pm

baking powder and white vinigar is ment to be good + lemons are ment to clean off lime scaleif to leave it on for a while

another gem is the Mr. Clean Magic Erasure. Only water needed and it gets everything off.

12:13 pm

ITA scatty I love the natural stuff for cleaning both house & body. I'm sensitive to so many chemicals & fragrances, it makes me very particular!

12:13 pm

Oh mistearweas!!! I LOVE that thing!! It even gets crayon off walls!

12:14 pm

jera, alot of stuff you buy for the bathroom nowaday is sufficating

oh, sorry; hi, musicmom.....and aw, thank hetty.....been busy busy around here, doing our spring cleaning all day yesterday, and much more to do yet, too! :-P

YES!!!! I tell my brother, "bring my nieces, I can handle anything!" goop, crayon, old food, syrupy stoves...the likes...

12:15 pm

Jera bicarbonate of soda is great for cleaning your fridge !!

12:15 pm

The most exotic thing I have for my bathroom is orange wipes, they are handy & smell good. My daughter cleans the bathroom, though

scatty, try the erasure on the bathtub for the "elbow grease needed" soap scum and you will done in a jiff. Just water. I'm telling you. It's magic.

12:16 pm

why is everyone spring cleaning all of a sudden, its still too cold here to get motivated

12:16 pm

She is working on the Housekeeping Badge, which is a retired one, but has good stuff kids don't seem to be taught much these days.

Jera, I had to stay away from the wipes. I was misfortunate once to reach around and grab the wrong wipe while on the throne...

12:16 pm

cheers misstear

12:17 pm

Good afternoon/evening all. How goes the hunt?

12:17 pm

I start Spring Cleaning in February, to celebrate Imbolc... I'm actually running late as I'm usually done by actual Spring.

12:17 pm

scatty Im decorating the whole house (well hubby is )

12:17 pm

Oh my, misstear. We keep the cleaning wipes & the baby wipes in very different places!

12:18 pm

I'm done, Haz, aren't you proud of me?

12:18 pm

Hi Haz

12:18 pm

Oh, congratulations Jera!

12:18 pm

thats when we blitz as well, bicarb takes the smell out of the fridge as well

no baby at home, so everything goes under the sink...where is a baby room when you need one?

12:18 pm

Our landlord is selling the house so we might be moving... so I'm extra motivated this Spring!

12:19 pm

well done jera

12:19 pm

My baby is 4 1/2 but we all love our baby wipes... nuff said.

12:19 pm

I figure if we end up staying, hey, the house is clean!

12:20 pm

Im going now Happy babbling all catch you tomorrow Bye

12:20 pm

Bye Caitlin. Have a good evening.

12:20 pm

Our trashcan is under the sink, not much room for storage there... extra sponges & unopened soap & shampoo, mostly

me too! Happy cleaning and babbling.

12:21 pm

Bye, caitlyn!

12:21 pm

jera, i might be having a thick sess but what is Imbolc

12:21 pm

Someone's at the door again!! I will talk to you all later!

12:21 pm

Bye Misstearweus have a good day.

12:22 pm

imbolc/groundhog day in the US ancient festival of the end of winter/beginning of spring

12:23 pm

right i'm off out, will be back later to see if anyone needs any help, keep babbling, see you later

12:31 pm

Stidmama, here in Canada we say that Groundhog Day (Feb) is when the groundhog comes out of his burrow to see if he can see his shadow, and if not back he goes--Spring delayed another month

12:33 pm

---never heard the term "imbolc" though. Does it have a meaning? Or is it like some of these Babble clues?

12:34 pm

imbolc is a celtic term used by many modern pagans. it occurs on groundhog day, feb 2

12:35 pm

*blush* can't believe i just did that *bad mama* *headbang*

12:37 pm

Hi all -- Imbolc is one of the days celebrating the turn of the year in most pagan calendars -- it is traditionally celebrated on Feb 1 and is typically dedicated to the Goddess Brigid :)

12:39 pm

woulf! where were you yesterday? we celebrate the new year in our family at samhain/halloween....

12:39 pm

This pagan education moment brought to you by Breaktime at work -- courtesy of Woulf, traditional guide and teacher in the Native American faith system ;)

12:40 pm

stidmama -- yesterday was waaayyy too big for me to consider attempting so I spent the day with my daughter :) I got her her first tricycle last night!

12:41 pm

first tricycle! my, how big she's grown! were you having a proud papa kind of day? :-)

12:41 pm

And who says cartoons don't teach safe bahaviour patterns -- she absolutely DEMANDED that I buy her a helmet to wear as well!

12:41 pm

Hello Hetty. How long have you lived on SSI. I was born there

12:42 pm

Yes I was stidmama-- she was very well behaved the whole time, though she had to try EVERY trike and car in Toys R Us before we found the one she liked

12:43 pm

good for her! our elder son has brain damage from birth trauma -- we insist on helmets for almost everything...

12:45 pm

OK, my time is done here -- I stopped by to find 50 words and then return to my mundane chaotic job :\ But I had to put in my two cents re: Imbolc since Jera was called away :) I'll be back later tonight.... after Kristianna is done riding her trike! ;D (*Hugs to all*) and farewell!!

12:48 pm

Hi, Galliwag. Been an islander since retiring from U Vic in 1989. Of our 48 years in Canada, the island is the place we have lived longest (and most happily, for many reasons.) When you come back you must visit us.

12:49 pm

I lived there for 25 years. I still have lots of family there

12:49 pm

later, Woulf!

12:56 pm

I'm finished. Bells and whistles. Perhaps now I should consider cleaning my house. What say?

12:57 pm

YAY Merk!

yay, pro babbler merk!

12:59 pm

I might be here tomorrow, but unlikely for days and days after that. I'll miss it and you. Thanks for all the help. ttyl

12:59 pm

later, Merk -- see you around!

1:00 pm

Well, I'm back..... Sorry I was gone longer than I anticipated, but I had a couple of DVD's to watch..... Anyway, what did I miss, conversation-wise?

1:01 pm

talk about cleaning the house, mostly -- i stayed out of it, not my forte! LOL

1:01 pm

Stidmama - not the most engrossing of topics, then....

1:02 pm

well, gross if you're describing our house! what DVDs were you watching?

1:02 pm

is there a 9 letter word for every puzzle?

1:03 pm

Hi, again all. Down to my last word. Need a clue for the So6/21. Then I'll hang and give clues for others.

1:03 pm

Darkman 1 & 2...... In case you've never heard of them, they concern a vigilante who hunts down his enemies using masks made of synthetic skin...

1:03 pm

no soup, this puzzle, for example has only a few 7 letter words (6) and the rest have fewer letters.

1:04 pm

Stidmama - there's only 4 7 letter words today....

1:04 pm

sounds pretty noiresque... horror-type. no pretty flowers or fluffy bunnies, then? :-)

1:05 pm

The so 6 starts like the bitter word with an extra vowel after the first 3 letters and a vowel at the end

1:05 pm

movieman, glad you're more awake than I am -- the benadryl i took for my allergies must have started working... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

1:06 pm

The so6 is a large South American tree

1:06 pm

I am new to this, what does So6/21 mean?

1:06 pm

Thanks, ARB! Got it on the first monkey type after your clue (so many vowels, so few fingers, you know).

1:06 pm

There is a 6 letter word with a total value of 21 points that begins with so

1:07 pm

so6/21 means the first two letters are s+o, it has 6 letters and is worth 21 points.....

1:07 pm

I just got some good news about Babble. I e mailed Jamie with a couple of suggestions and he told me that he is going to be adding scroll bars to both the chat log and word list soon.

1:08 pm

It's a good idea to check out the Babble Rules link

1:10 pm

Woot!! Finished!! (With extra help from me mum, thanks Jaianniah!) Today's puzzle: the words are ei6 really obvious or really obscure...

1:10 pm

congrats, knutmeg!

1:11 pm

YAY knutmeg! ***Liv*** because we know she helped, too!

anyone have a clue for the fl6? saw one earlier but did not get it...

1:12 pm

i'm at 19 words now, need to take a break and do some paperwork. BBL {{{all}}}

bye stidmama!

1:13 pm

Yes, she did help. She slept enough for me to type with two hands for the whole puzzle. :-) (Currently napping in her bouncy chair next to her dad)

1:13 pm

fl6/27 - f + lo5

1:13 pm

fl6/21 - take the first four letters of what caused Noah to build the ark, then add two vowels on the end.

1:13 pm

bye stidmama!

1:14 pm

The fe 6/21 sounds like someone sick with Asian ---, but totally mispelled and very upset about being sick!!

wow - two for the price of one : D thanks vi and haz!

1:14 pm

now how would a person know there is a 6 letter word in this puzzle that starts with so?

1:15 pm

Good one, ARB! :D

1:15 pm

TeeHee

soup: they would click on angelsong's babble page under the friends of babble list at the right of the page

or on lickety's babble clues

i have fo, sw, and th 7's - can someone please tell me that last 7?

1:19 pm

There's an sh7/32.

1:19 pm

sh 7

1:20 pm

Any cluez for the fo7 & the th7 plz.....

1:20 pm

Ignore the fo7, just got it....

1:20 pm

fo 7 is the comparative of the preceding word

1:21 pm

fo 7- like fo 4/7, but more so

1:21 pm

th7 is pl of th5

ty - movieman: build on the fo 4/7 and the th5/12

1:21 pm

Howdy! I'm back from class and ready to get started! *dives in*

1:22 pm

can anyone help with em 6/24? thanks!

1:22 pm

the th plural is a Latinized plural

*splashes deutsch*

1:22 pm

Temple - sorry to sound a bit dense, but what is the th5/12?

1:23 pm

*wipes water from face* Hi Temple!

1:23 pm

em 6 = the previous em 4 + 2/3 of the number of fingers you have

1:23 pm

There is no th5/12 only th5/14's

1:24 pm

It's not a th 5/12 but a th 5/14

1:25 pm

thanks ARB!

1:28 pm

Anyone clue me up with the 2nd o word apart from the ot5/12.....

1:29 pm

movieman, it's probably a word you 'left out"

1:30 pm

Thanx stidmama.... I had a feeling that was in there, but I just didn't see it..... *SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!*...... And one for luck...... *SLAP!!!!!!!!*

1:32 pm

No hitting, children

1:34 pm

hi everyone!

1:34 pm

Hi, stidgrant!!!!!!

1:34 pm

Hi stidgrant!

1:35 pm

1:35 pm

afternoon all!! :D

1:35 pm

OK then, stidmama..... What on Earth is the u from the bottom row, plz.....

1:36 pm

Warm greetings to you, evan.....

1:37 pm

Hooray!!!!! The mother/son partnership is back!!!!!

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

just checking to see if you were paying attention, grant... :-)

1:37 pm

She's wiley, stidmama.

1:38 pm

sure is -- at least on sudoku it shows who-all's playing... here, we have to guess. oh well -- all part of the fun!

1:39 pm

Remember, everyone, just because a Babble has less than 200 words, it don't make it easy!!!!!!

1:39 pm

thats me finished : )

1:39 pm

YAY sha!

1:40 pm

OK, Sha, maybe you can assist me with the bottom row u.....

1:40 pm

woot for sha!

1:40 pm

nice icon sha

1:40 pm

Oh, and congrats by the way.....

1:40 pm

thanx stidgrant

1:41 pm

still pondering -- "2/3 of the number of fingers you have"

1:41 pm

wiley? me?? NAH!

1:41 pm

I just sighned in; hi dear everyone. Does Anj ever come around these here parts anymore? Could he be bored with babble?

1:42 pm

hu 6/27? i'm tortured

1:42 pm

Hi mab! I haven't seen Anj in a while.

1:42 pm

anj was around at least late last week... haven't seen him the last couple days, though.

1:42 pm

pthomp - not to make any assumptions about your fingers, if you were to write out the word for the standard number of human fingers, and take two thirds of the word...

1:42 pm

hu is a latin plural for a bone in the arm

1:43 pm

hu6 - pl of bones of upper arms

1:43 pm

ur-5-u =u=r the vowel to the left then the 2 vowels above

1:44 pm

Thanx, sha.....

1:44 pm

yes, thanks sha -- that's an obscure one!

1:45 pm

yw havent a clue wot it means lol

1:45 pm

Obscure is right, stidmama, I bet it's not even in the OED....

1:45 pm

Well of course, evanadine, you're all blissed out now from meditating on your icon.

1:46 pm

vicuña - got it but laughing at the mathmatical possibilities and how to type them in :-}

1:46 pm

thanks all! torture over

1:46 pm

heh, it made me happy when i found it this morning

1:47 pm

*still lost on the fingers clue*

phew...done....is it bad that babble is more important than work?

1:47 pm

Yeah, and typing them in would be all the hard with only two thrids of your fingers! ;)

1:47 pm

evanadine, unless you had an accident with a knife, you should still have ten fingers...

1:47 pm

Depends on your work, Mr Trickle.

1:47 pm

I'm down to 44 words, but I reckon I'm gonna have to resort to lickety & enable to complete this one....

*sits down next to evan waiting for enlightenment*

evanadine....letter-wise, not number-wise....

1:48 pm

YAY dicktrickle! isn't babble more important than work? ;-)

1:48 pm

bye all :)

1:48 pm

i guess im still lost cause i dont have the E4 it builds on...heh

1:49 pm

bye sha!

hello? *coming up from the grid for some air* :-P

1:49 pm

1:49 pm

Mikey!!!!!

hi there, stidmama and Deutsch!!! :-)

1:50 pm

Mikey, Guten Abend!!!!!

1:50 pm

Hi Mikey!

1:50 pm

em4 - with Easter just past, think of the "road to Em" where Jesus was sighted, then remove the last letter

1:50 pm

ahh, got both of em now!

how many em4's are there? cause that clue sure won't work with the one i have! X /

1:51 pm

1:53 pm

anatomically eight fingers... two thumbs

1:53 pm

vicuna - is there a clue or definition for the em4/6....

1:53 pm

i have 7 words mom

1:53 pm

All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs...

1:54 pm

good for you! when you get to ten, that will be a good number. and you can come in for a game of trivial pursuit...

1:54 pm

em4 /6- with Easter just past, think of the "road to Em" where Jesus was sighted, then remove the last letter (means something or other related to large flightless birds)

1:55 pm

Never mind, vicuna, just got the em4/6 AND the em6....

1:55 pm

okay! sounds great mom!!!!

1:55 pm

Good! So is everyone all set, now? :)

1:57 pm

Just need one more u, then I've totally "greyed-out" the middle row.... I have the ur4/5, what's the second one....

1:57 pm

did you get the two words that are the sound/s a cat makes?

1:57 pm

vicuna, I think all my fingers are thumbs today.... LOL

1:58 pm

Well, if it's only for today, stidmama, you aren't doing too badly!

help plz with me6,21

2:01 pm

Just need one more u, then I've totally "greyed-out" the middle row.... I have the ur4/5, what's the second one....

2:01 pm

okay. I have 11 words and I am going to leave for a while. so, laterall!

2:01 pm

me6/21 - specialty or forte, derived from French, ends like a comparative

2:01 pm

it 6/24 it 5/12 ? anyone?

2:02 pm

me too -- trivial pursuit awaits! BBL (hi jeffer)

2:02 pm

ur4/5 - chemical in urine, shows up in grids all the time

2:03 pm

ur 4/5: ar + first two letters of the world...

2:03 pm

it 5/12 what a snake does, minus the beginning

2:03 pm

Vicuna - I already have that one....

2:03 pm

hiya stidmama

2:03 pm

it6/24 - probably means something having to do with repetition, ends with a drink beloved of pirates

wow, Vicuna; urine shows up in grids all the time??? :-o is *that* why the letter tiles/squares are yellow? :-P

2:04 pm

sorry, movieman, I got confused because that is the second one. The first is ur5 + ur + whole slew of vowels

2:04 pm

good afternoon everyone!

2:04 pm

Mikey LOL

2:04 pm

Nein, Mikey, not the urine, but the ur4/5 chemical therein.

2:05 pm

And I have no idea what color that is!

2:05 pm

Hi Nat!

2:05 pm

ty vicuna and abe good clues

2:06 pm

looks like a hard grid today, how goes it?

2:06 pm

hiya nat

2:06 pm

Vicuna - has that ur5 got a definition....?

2:06 pm

Hello, Nat. Jump in, the water's fine!

2:07 pm

Not under the little question mark, movieman.

2:07 pm

mo 6/21?

2:08 pm

Bugger!!! It's gonna take me ages to monkey-type that one, then....

2:08 pm

mo6 - more mo4

2:08 pm

nevermind, i'm a dodo

2:09 pm

Hi Everyone, need just 2 clues to complete the grid...AM/ 512 and AR/ 624. Thanks in advance for saving what sanity I have left today.........

2:09 pm

Not really, movie. It starts from the bottom u, and you haven't really got that many choices. And every vowel is different.

2:10 pm

ok, i have three left: re 5/12, lo 5/10 and sw 5/20. i'm at work for 20 more minutes. will exhange hints happily!

2:10 pm

am5/12 - variant spelling of am4 following it

2:10 pm

If it starts from the bottom u, then I already have that one, vicuna, I'm talking about the second u from the middle row....

2:10 pm

Hi nancy!

2:12 pm

ar6/24 - apparently some kind of fabric I've never heard of. Sounds like what knights wore, ending like the end of a n ounce of prevention is worth a pound of c---

2:13 pm

Oh movieman, I'm making a botch of this whole clue business. The last is ut5, pl of where babies are formed.

2:14 pm

Thanx, vicuna.... At last......

2:14 pm

Happy dance! i am finished! thanks to all for wonderful clues!

2:15 pm

Sorry for the runaround, movieman! In my defense, I am currently being run around by two preschoolers...

2:15 pm

Yea for abe!

2:16 pm

Then that's a pretty valid excuse, vicuna....

2:16 pm

the third re 5/12 please? and lo 5/10 too ?

2:17 pm

jeffer - lo5/10=British slang for a toilet+ie....

2:17 pm

lo 5/10 sounds like the sixties hit song "L****, L****- lots of vowels

2:17 pm

YAY abe79!

2:18 pm

movieman, i knew for sure that was not a word! thanks thanks abe

2:19 pm

jeffer - re5/12=re+the ***ple of Doom....

2:19 pm

again thanks movieman

2:19 pm

Vicuna, you are the best. Got both of them, great clues. Hi Deutsch...........I am finished and can now stop drooling at the mouth.....

2:20 pm

yw, jeffer.....

2:20 pm

YAY Nancy!

2:20 pm

Is everyone in a better mood than when I was here earlier? People were all snippy. It was scary. :o)

2:20 pm

Ohh, Nancy, it's nice to be the best! Congrats to all recent finishers!

2:21 pm

I think it's the weather. Also. I am tired.

2:21 pm

nancy - I used to drool at the mouth. In fact, I drooled in a lot of places. But then they changed my medication and now Im fine. Most of the time I think Im a sealion, but Im fine. LOL! Hi all!

dachef!

oh, hi HollyBug; don't believe we've met yet, have we? people were snippy, here? :-o wow.....glad i either wasn't here yet, or had my nose in the grid, then! :-/

2:23 pm

people were snippy? Snippy? Thats what we used to call the hairdresser.....

2:23 pm

Hehe. People were. It was totally out of the ordinary. And no we've not. I'm... Holly. Hehe. How are you?

2:23 pm

Holly Bug, since I got on a couple hours ago, we've been pretty nice to each other... :-)

2:23 pm

Hi Dachef.......very funny but all too true...I love sea lions, they are so comical and seem to enjoy life to the fullest.........barking away for fish and attention. Do you like fish per chance?

well hi, Holly....i'm Michael, aka 'Mikey' of course :-) and i'm not too bad, thanks.....and how about you?

2:25 pm

Nancy - Im not averse to being slapped around the head with one, especially when the last word I find is something like 'line' or 'milk'. Wasnt Snippy the bush kangaroo? Oh no, that was Skippy...

2:25 pm

Exhausted. I've been up since 4am. hehe. Long long day.

2:25 pm

does the first fo 6 have the cross letter in it?

2:26 pm

i am down to 7 words, and trying to find them without hand-holding too much... :-) *i think i can i think i can i think i can*

2:27 pm

good day all, best of luck finishing the grid

2:27 pm

Well, that's it..... I'm down to 31 words, I've hit the proverbial brick wall, so I'm using "The List".....

2:28 pm

movieman, you got further than I did before the list (but i claim the handicap of allergies that needed extra medicine today!)

2:28 pm

Sorry Temple, just read your post!!! How the devil are you babe?!?!?

2:28 pm

2:29 pm

Be back soon, gotta watch the Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final.....

2:35 pm

second sw5,20 and sw7,48 please pretty please

2:35 pm

Yeh - Boreetos, I have a coupla Chinese friends who live in the UK, and they always go to any protest they can - its because its illegal to protest in China, so they take the chance to say what they really feel when they can!

2:36 pm

ty on the fo... i was trying to go diagonally!

2:36 pm

fl 6/27?

2:36 pm

boreetos -- i am glad i am not in Seattle today! I have the feeling that it would be very hard to get around!

2:36 pm

2:37 pm

yeah they close a lot of stuff for the motorcade.

2:37 pm

2:43 pm

okay, I thought I had all the ms last night, but am missing the first me 4/6 -- definition?

2:43 pm

Hi everyone! Between the holiday and being swamped at work, this is the first time I've Babbled in days!! :)

2:43 pm

BUGZY!!!

2:44 pm

stidmama- I think French cats say me 4/6

2:44 pm

squeezy hugs for boreetos :) {{{boreetos}}}

2:45 pm

yes, bat cat, but that's the 4/9 after the 4/6 i need...

2:45 pm

:) *beems*

2:45 pm

Hi James!

2:46 pm

bleu: hu 6 is the latin plural of an arm bone

2:46 pm

stid--4/9 is what American cats say; 4/6 is what French cats say

2:46 pm

the me 4/6 is a variant of the me 4/9

2:46 pm

fl6 - f + lo5/10

2:47 pm

clue for the ar6,24 please? my brain is soooo dead today!

2:47 pm

oh -- ty, i haven't learned that dialect of cat-speak yet!

2:47 pm

badcat, that'sa pretty awesome/hilarious clue. I wasn't aware that french cats had accents.

2:47 pm

atalante, you can't use that excuse, i've already patented it! :-)

2:48 pm

but but but but - its true!!

2:48 pm

ar 6: ar + mu 4

2:48 pm

four words left, but need to get to the trivial pursuit game... BRB

2:49 pm

thank you! I cant think how long that would have taken to monkey type!

2:49 pm

bye stidmama!

2:49 pm

Sometimes the Italian cats represent with a mi 4/5 that's not in today's grid.

2:49 pm

while we're on the a6, how about ae6/21? *fish ready just in case*

2:49 pm

good to know. :)

2:49 pm

and what do French pigs go? or say? *giggle*

2:50 pm

badcat, what part of the US are you representing with your trilingual feline mystique?

2:50 pm

i don't know, but there is a french babydoll that does pi pi!

2:50 pm

a6 = a+ e5/12

2:50 pm

Atalante - oinque? ;)

2:50 pm

Bugzy--a + et 5/12

2:51 pm

French wild boars say "groink"

2:51 pm

lol bugzy...

2:51 pm

TY Kateq and badcat :) Darn those ae's...

2:51 pm

pretty much bugzy ... I cant remember how its spelt oops but its pronounced wank wank LOL

2:52 pm

I'm an American cat in the DC area.

2:52 pm

it 6?

2:52 pm

Bugz, the "ae"21 is the same as the gas you already have beginning with "e"-- the way the GHreeks spell it

2:52 pm

As long as they find all those truffles, they can say whatever they want LOL

2:53 pm

right on, so not technically in the US? That whole District O' Columbia thing? Don't they grow cocaine in Columbia? Are you growing cocaine?

2:54 pm

TY hetty :) *anxiously awaiting it6 clue as it's her last word*

2:54 pm

DC-area meaning I work in DC, live in Maryland, and Babble from all over

2:55 pm

2:55 pm

Hi everyone, how is the grid today?

2:56 pm

2:56 pm

2:57 pm

the grid WAS friendly. Now its frustrating. Down to 20 words without the list, and my mouse keep hovering over the BabAnon link. I swear its moving there on its own accord....

2:57 pm

TYVM Dachef :) That's me done. Hi Katie - some tricky 6's but a pretty nice one today

2:57 pm

well, kids, I've got to get going. I'll be back in few hours, to put forth a futile effort to find my remaining 66 words. :) see you then!

2:57 pm

bleu: re + te4/4

I came home, made deviled eggs to take by MIL for dinner, did some laundry.... laid down for 1/2 hour, got up, went to bathroom and got dizzy and fell in the tub sideways. I had to stay home :( How was yours, Temple?

kurosaki, no 9 or 8 letter words today. there are four 7 letter words

3:28 pm

Hi Angelsong!

3:37 pm

me4/6, cat's cry

3:38 pm

hi snowy!

3:38 pm

he6/27....any clues please?

3:38 pm

Angelsong--a couple of hours ago cluegivers were differentiating between English-speaking and French-speaking cats, if that helps (try an alternative spelling for the sound they make.The cats that is, not the clue-givers).

3:39 pm

I'm ok Temple. Just a little sore. And no Easter dinner for ME!

3:39 pm

I've got the cat's cry. need the other me4/6.

3:39 pm

anyone got a clue for the em 6/24? Had to resort to the list for fear of damaging something, but am still stumped!

3:39 pm

sorry about your car, Temple :(

3:39 pm

Any clue for the fo6/30 please?

3:40 pm

Gee, never thought of that. We have to stop ****ing like this.

3:40 pm

work is tugging at my sleeve..... try to bbl!

mamabear it can be fixed... it's only $ LOL!

3:40 pm

fo6/30 - fo + mi4/5. Someone who really likes fo's.

3:42 pm

bye MAMA

3:42 pm

Cheers Dachef that finishes me off. Very grateful!

3:42 pm

Well, I'm back, people..... What did I miss, conversation-wise....?

3:43 pm

Hi movieman

3:43 pm

who won, movieman?

3:43 pm

dachef..e+ a 4 letter word for silent starting with m with an extra vowel as the 2nd letter

3:44 pm

Atalante - Arsenal did, 1-0.... But I think the 2nd leg in Spain will be quite tricky....

3:44 pm

hi Atalante!

3:45 pm

Dachet, em6/24 is a real dilly. Try monkeying with the upside down "n", the cross letter, and two of the most visible vowels in the grid either side of it

3:45 pm

thanks Cath - I think that is definately a non-monkey-typing word!!!

3:46 pm

sorry. Hetty - I posted that at the same time! I would've been monkeying til Christmas. As the gorilla said to the actress.

3:46 pm

movieman - I caught part of that game and it looked like arsenal was having their way, just couldn't finish. was it that way the entire match?

3:46 pm

So, what has been happening in my absence...?

3:47 pm

OOOHHH Spellit -that was a very modest finish!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

3:47 pm

Probably, dl88, although I only caught the last 5 minutes of the first half and the whole of the 2nd...

3:47 pm

Hi! I'm done!!! Anyone need clues?

3:48 pm

movieman - dunno bout everyone else, but while you were away I made a cup of coffee. O, and quit quit smoking again.

3:48 pm

7 to go. Hint for fo7?

3:48 pm

Nothing wrong with monkeying--any time or for any length thereof. And Cath's clue was way more helpful anyway. What I love about clue-giving is the fun we have --gamesmanship and all that.

3:48 pm

congrats jaianniah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

3:49 pm

kraus - fo7=even more fo4/7.....

3:49 pm

Dachef - I had a glass of wine & didn't stop smoking!!

3:49 pm

6/27 + r

3:49 pm

LOL Dachef!!!! Stick at it -it took me 25+ years!!!!!!!!

3:50 pm

I need the hu6/27. Just not getting the whole arm bone thing. Only arm bone I know is the humurous, and that aint in there!!

3:50 pm

well done jaianniah ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*F*I*R *E*W*O*R*K*S^*^**^^^^*^*^*

dachef - that's it!

3:50 pm

Dachef - it's the Latin plural.....(ends with the 9th letter).....

3:50 pm

Dachef Tis!!!!! Just lop off the last 3 letters and replace them with an I

3:51 pm

Dachef--it's the Latin plural of that bone

3:51 pm

I'ts spelled humerus- so plural in latin would drop ending and add "I"

3:51 pm

dachef..take the 1st 3 letters of the said armbone...its the plural of it (i keep want to use femur but that isnt even there)

3:52 pm

Got it. Now I feel silly. LOL all!

3:52 pm

100 words to go!

3:53 pm

Dachef< 1st three letters - when to HU* a tune to yourself+2nd vowel+ hook+3rd vowel

3:53 pm

Congrats, Jaianniah. If you have time and inclination, I really need help with the two re6's(18 each)

3:54 pm

thnx, all, 5 to go. sh5,12 that's not something done to sheep or bed linen?

3:54 pm

i only have 25 words.. yippe haha

3:54 pm

4:43 pm

Hello everyone, a clue for the ae?

5:06 pm

Kenny: ar**** sounds like knight's clothes + e

I am now 24 points richer, thanks to all!

5:07 pm

hi kenny -welcome to the mad world of babble !!!!!!!!!!!!

5:07 pm

Well done, kenny - and you've probably gathered that this is terribly addictive.

5:08 pm

Haz...why the 1558 i am sure it isnt the year you were born!!!!LOL

Hello Owl. I am discovering in a hurry how mad BabbleWorld is. Mad in a "homonym for first number + sort of like 'duh' + not empty but..." kind of way.

5:09 pm

Not quite - it's my date of birth - 1 /5 /(19) 58.

Thank you, Haz. I have yet to complete a puzzle, but it won't be long!!

5:10 pm

I had just worked it out....how slow can i be!!!

anyone with a good clue for hu6/27?

5:11 pm

LOL kenny - got it in one! Just wait till you're half way somewhere and you start remembering bits of the grid & find a word! LOL

5:11 pm

Kenny - it took me quite a while to finish my first, but the new babblers seem to cotton on extremely quickly! I hope you enjoy it.

5:12 pm

hu6/27 - more than one funny bone

5:12 pm

hu6 -is a plural of the funny bone

5:13 pm

I have done that before snowyowl! One time I even called home so I could write down the letters on the grid! LOL! :)

5:13 pm

hello everyone... :)

Great clue, Owl and Haz. Thanks!

5:13 pm

Hi Karys!

5:13 pm

Karys - good evening!

5:14 pm

hi Karys...have a good evening

5:14 pm

hi shutter...you're new to me....special hi !!!

5:15 pm

LOL Shutterbug!! It's awful isn't it? HI Karys -haven't seen you for ages -been an odd month for me -had very little time to babble

5:15 pm

hi Haz and mo...good to see you both :)

5:15 pm

I have been here a long time, just hardly ever post! I stopped playing for a long while, then got readdicted!

5:15 pm

yw Kenny

5:15 pm

shutterbug - how did you wean yourself off?

5:16 pm

hi snowy...me too....the Easter thing sort of took over

5:16 pm

LOL Haz! There's no cure you know!

5:17 pm

Oh, I just sort of forgot about it sometimes, then a few months ago I thought "Hey, remember that babble game?" and I started playing again.

5:17 pm

well ....welcome back shutter.....I get bogged down from time to time ..but lurk a lot !!!

5:18 pm

Thanks karys.

5:18 pm

So it wasn't a major decision you took then - ah well, we continue the hunt for the antidote....

5:18 pm

Haz...don't think there is an antidote !!!

5:19 pm

I know the feeling Karys -It's beeen just crazy here. Husbands mother had surgery in Feb, had a big Girlguiding event to arrange for April 1st and my son in law flew to India for 7 weeks in March - had all the grandchildren as usual!!!! Mayhem & madness!!!

5:19 pm

i dont get chance to forget to play ... my husband says "arent you BABBLING today," i think he wants me out of the way!!!

5:20 pm

FORGOT shutterbug!!!???? FORGOT?????? Did you have amnesia!!!!??????? LOL

5:20 pm

ohh...dear..snowy...know the feeling...it's all taken up with daughter's wedding here...dresses, shoes, what are the men going to wear ?,,,,and on and on it goes !!!

5:20 pm

So I'm doomed - we're all doooooomed (as Frazer used to say in Dad's Army)

5:21 pm

Oh, and when I came back tom playing I actually had forgotten I was shutterbug, so I created a new accout. I now remember who I was, so I decided to stick with shutterbug so all my points were together. So, I would have had more points if I had remembered my name. LOL.

5:22 pm

Mari is my Mum & got me addicted, I had to buy a computer because I was too busy at work to babble any more :)

5:22 pm

you know Haz.... thats about it....the Dads Army chap !!

5:22 pm

Karys - I've recently realised that weddings are big business. There used to be 'Bride' magazine, now there are magazines just for the flowers!

5:22 pm

My husband is really glad I'm babbling again -I had begun to watch T.V and he only watches football when I'm up here. He was most upset

5:22 pm

Snowy, I just got busy and eventually forgot to check the grid each day. Now I always look at it if at all possible.

5:23 pm

Goodness....shutter....you and I seem to be about on the same wave length....I can forget who I am !!!

5:24 pm

Haz...this is supposed to be a very 'laid back'affair ????!!!

5:24 pm

Well, I just forgot my username after not playing for so long!

5:25 pm

snowy...got rid of mine ...to bed...early start tomorrow !!

5:25 pm

Oh Karys - how lovely -a wedding! My advice is smile and say yes a lot - unless its something they want you to pay for! LOL It was the only way I got to our two weddings sane!

5:25 pm

Laid back sounds good! (it also sounds easier on the pocket) I have two daughters so I dread weddings getting any more expensive. It's bad enough putting them through university.

5:26 pm

I've been a bridesmaid so many times I was thinking of taking it up as a living. My only advice is that the hairdresser will always take hours more than you think!

5:26 pm

snowy....think that's about what I am doing...appart from making the bridesmard dresses....after that it's all 'do as you like ' !!

5:27 pm

My daughters wedding was very laid back -a lovely day altogether -my hairdresser says that she was the most relaxed bride she had ever seen -and that my daughter in law was the most fraught!

5:27 pm

katie...it's in Florida...just hoping they have more experience when shove comes to push !"!!

5:29 pm

You are clever Karys -wish i could sew well. I hadn't sat at a sewing machine for about 20 years when my daughter asked me to make her an evening dress! LOL Just manged it -wearable if you don't look too close!

5:29 pm

I just have a small problem in the fact that my daughter has asked me to give her away....and I'm a bit of a 'put me at the back person'

5:30 pm

must toddle off now...the old eyes and brain are a bit strained....goodnight all see you tomorrow all being well!!!

5:31 pm

Bachs flower rescue remedy, a large gin & tonic and a BIG Smile Karys - Feel proud that she asked & quake in the loo afterwards!

5:31 pm

It's lovely that she has asked you to do that, but I can understand how daunting it would be.

5:31 pm

night mo -sweet dreams

5:31 pm

not clever really Snowy...dresses not so bad...but a bit disappointed when it came to the finishingoff !!

5:32 pm

ni nite mo :) xx

5:33 pm

And I should go now too. It has been good chatting with you all again. See you soon!

5:33 pm

think that remedy may just suit me snowy !!

5:33 pm

nite Haz -sweet dreams

5:34 pm

ni nite Haz :) xx

5:34 pm

You guys are all going to bed, and here it is still only 6:30!

5:35 pm

what you done to all our overseas friends then snowy ?

5:35 pm

aaah you still here then shutter :)

5:36 pm

It will work Karys -honestly -would have to be vodka for me tho'. Just the one tho'. The rescue remedy is good. I use it a lot as I seem to be getting loads of palpitations for no good reason at the moment. My pulse was 107 at one point yeaterday!

5:37 pm

think I will need more than just the 'one'....would really like her to ask Roger to give her away

5:37 pm

Yup, I am still here.

5:37 pm

LOL Shutter - I could do with a few extra hours! Care to send a few?

5:38 pm

Well, you could come to the USA!

5:38 pm

I'm off too. Fuggles is back in his cage and I have a breakfast seminar in the morning (in about 7 1/2 hours actually), I mean who thought they were a good idea? see you all tomorrow.

5:39 pm

Perhaps you could ask her to ask him to give a speech or do a reading of some sort.

5:39 pm

Hi everyone! Anyone know any clues for sw7 and th7? Thanks!

5:39 pm

Yes please shutter! nifht Katie -sweet dreams

5:40 pm

snowy, it wouldnt take you too long to get here would it? LOL!

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

snowy...thats a good idea..... I hadn't thought of that !!

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

Ah thanks Aknitter...you always come through.

ok; i only have 1 word left to find, which i've skipped and left til i finished the rest of the grid, 'cos i'm sooooo stuck on it.....ready to tear *all* my hair out here i'm so frustrated trying to get this one; so, if anyone had a clue please, for the third 'sh5,12', i'd really appreciate it! :-)

6:00 pm

Hi all. I finished a while ago but am back to lurk and offer clues as needed. I told BGL I would be around later if she needed me. Gonna watch some t.v. and read the newspaper but I'm here if you need me. BTW I play piano and sing.

6:00 pm

I'll be thinking of you giving your daughter away Karys! LOL dc -how many times in your life will you make an exit like that!

6:01 pm

Mikey it is a Hebrew word for Hell.

6:01 pm

oddly, no. costume is doublet, tunic, blue jeans and athletic shoes.

6:01 pm

i'm hoping a doublet will be no harder to play a violin in than a tuxedo.

huh, Karys??? 'way above' you? what's that supposed to mean? :-/ i'd say just the opposite, actually; i'm a lot slower and have far more problems with these grids than most of you do!!! :-P

6:02 pm

oh dear dcs...'phillistines' or what ?

6:02 pm

Mikey sh 5/12 is hebrew for hell use the sh footwear ( reverse the vowels)and add a consonant

6:02 pm

Mikey - look up for that sh word even though technically it is down<G>

oh thank you, musicmom; i thought i'd tried that though, but i'll try it again!

6:03 pm

aaahh no Mikey....I actually live here...you don't !!

6:03 pm

a wacky co-production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona by the Greenbelt Arts Center in GReenbelt, MD and Three Left Feet, a Baltimore dance troupe.

6:07 pm

The Girlguiding sort Mikey! We're all owls in Brownies!

6:07 pm

Bravo Mikey - just realized I didn't say that.

oh yesss, ok; i'm 'with' you now, snowyowl!!! :-D

6:08 pm

just because you can sustain a life in another country...and I don't think I could mikey

i hardly deserve a 'bravo', musicmom; couldn't have done it without your help at the very end there.....the one and only time i asked for any clues in this grid! :-P makes a change; i used to pester everyone too much at first!

6:08 pm

Karys I live about 20 miles from Swansea & 4 miles from the centre of Llanelli. Right at the end of the M4 ( the end of the world really) LOL

hey, snowyowl.....i've not only *been* to Llanelli, but i can pronounce it, too!!! :-D

6:10 pm

Mikey were you here last night when I was begging for about 100 clues to finish. It was pathetic.

beautiful country there, snowyowl.....i really liked Wales :-)

6:10 pm

snowy...Roger in Wales next week...Tuesday thro' Thursday...Cardiff, Swansea, etc

6:11 pm

Well I'm going to pester now! A clue please for the it6 - I know I will know it but I plead tiredness( was at the swimming pool with 3 under 6s at 9.00 am this morning)

no, musicmom; i'm afraid i was far more pathetic than you were yesterday.....i started the grid, then we decided to start tackling all our spring cleaning.....which meant no way was i going to have time to finish that monster; so after entering about the first 20 words, i deserted it completely! :-/

6:12 pm

i+word for a school period (te4/5) put a vowel between the last two letters of the te word.

6:12 pm

snowy....last three letters are a spirit...(not gin)

6:13 pm

LOL Nothing quite like that double l Mikey - well done -it's cos you speak more than one language! We are near some beautiful landscapes here. I was brought up in Mumbles which is near the Gower coast & now live near the fasntastic Pembrokeshire coast -so can't complain really.

6:14 pm

second re4,4?

6:14 pm

Does anyone have the ae6?

6:14 pm

snowy...were you born in Wales ?

6:14 pm

re+cross letter+vowel

6:14 pm

it + vowel plus holiday alcoholic drink used in cake

sorry, snowyowl.....Heinrich was talking to me here for a couple mins; ok, 'it6,24' starts with the same 3 letters as the previous word, then ends in a 3 letter liquor :-P but i'm sure you've got it by now, anyhow?

6:15 pm

like your ei 6 only with ae at the beginning. or ae+not here but th*** - last letter

6:15 pm

yes jee....think of what they used before anesthesia with first vowel

6:15 pm

ae6 variant spelling of firdt anaesthetic drug

6:16 pm

These words have to be made up.

6:16 pm

a + et 5/12

6:16 pm

final re6,18? i feel so bad, begging for clues, this grid has not gone well for me

6:16 pm

Ty for the it clues all Yes Karys I was born here but have no Welsh blood. I do feel Welsh tho. My maternal grandparents were english and english/swedish and my paternal grandparents were italians -thus I am a short round person with blue eyes!

6:17 pm

cdn.....cry again ?

6:17 pm

to make over something such as woodwork. (re+a hammer or screwdriver or wrench)

6:17 pm

re6,18 to damage cartilage again

6:17 pm

re + item used by repairman....don't slap your head too hard LOL

sounds like a wonderful place to be, snowyowl.....and hey; nothing wrong with blue eyes, you know! i have them too :-)

6:18 pm

ok...ok...snowy...you don't have to apologise...as just oing to say it's a place we had thought of retiring to !!

6:18 pm

Still looking for me5,21

6:19 pm

6:19 pm

me5/20 is a plural cat call

6:19 pm

Sorry, me6,21

Good afternoon, any clues for am5/12?

6:20 pm

add another vowel to me5/12

6:20 pm

add the second vowel after the cross letter to your 5/12 that is a unit of measure.

6:20 pm

me SIX 21 me+ thing a guy wears around his neck + are

6:20 pm

grant....more than a yard...plus third vowel in the middle

6:20 pm

I'm not complaining! - my father actually had blue eyes too. They were from the north of Italy - and my mother with the swedish blood is very dark with hazel eyes. So so much for stereotypes! Dosn't make me any less short or round tho - which is a pity!

6:20 pm

Marc, it sounds like what knights wear.

Marc, if you have the word following it, 'am5,12' would be a homonym of that.....if the following word is pronounced as the personal name

6:21 pm

marc the one who provides the weapons.

6:21 pm

snowy....gettting there fast !!!....( the short and round bit)

6:21 pm

sorry Marc, I was looking at the ar5.

ah yes, snowyowl; you do find a fair number of blonde, blue eyed Italians in the north of Italy, actually :-)

6:23 pm

Oops Jee - I did the same thing. Sorry Marc

6:23 pm

People are very friendly here -if you want to keep yourself to yourself - you better buy a house in a field tho! LOL My daughter in law thinks the Welsh are a nosy lot and we do like to know ALL about you!! LOL - but we are also very willing to share information!

6:23 pm

see.... just look at you mikey !!!.....said you knew much more than I !! :)

lol, snowyowl; and while i'm blue eyed, i'm very dark haired, and have skin that tans well.....and i'm half German, half English.....go figure? :-P

6:23 pm

that'll do for me snowy !!

for crying out loud, Karys; what *are* you talking about??? :-P i'm sure you know just as much, just maybe different stuff than i do?

6:24 pm

Oh hi Marc ! Haven't seen you for ages - It's really nice to be here and not feeling I should be doing something else!

6:26 pm

You can also find a second generation Norwegian-German who is round and blue-eyed in Southern Mississippi!!!!

lol, snowyowl; i guess i'd better stay where i am then! ;-)

6:28 pm

re5's?

hmm, Karys? what do you mean by 'singlemindeness'?

6:30 pm

hi, mikey!!!!!!

megaconfusing? ja; i like that term better :-)

6:39 pm

music....thats just silly..didn't all those 'Moms' know what they were doing ?......( the best of good wishes to you all) xx

6:41 pm

Well since I am one of those moms apparently not. In my defense - we were newlyweds.

6:42 pm

Well it's been great for me tonight - I haven't finished a grid for an ae and I almost always used to finish. Have been very busy and had a rotten few weeks health wise. I have decided to ask the doctor to knock me out for Jan & Feb & March next year as I was ill for all those months last year too!

6:42 pm

must confess...two sons with just a week apart...29th April and 5th May !!!

6:42 pm

we got smarter 6 years later. My other daughter is in June.

6:43 pm

yes...I got better too..daughter August 31st

6:43 pm

At least Sarah wasn't born on my birthday. She was supposed to be.

6:44 pm

but that would have been nice music !!!

6:45 pm

to be in labor on my birthday did not sound like my idea of fun. Besides - I would have forever been giving a party instead of getting one<G>

6:46 pm

my two are 2 years and 6 days apart & my old neighbours son was born on her birthday. My next door neighbour has a daughter with a Dec 23rd b/day and a grandchild with a Dec 24th Birthday - personally I think that was careless!! LOL

6:46 pm

ok music...had not thought it thro' ...you could be right !!

6:47 pm

think you may be right there snowy...planning is quite important !!!!

6:47 pm

HI, everyone!! I am missing an ar5/12 have the one that sound like what knights wear but different ending

6:47 pm

NO doubt. My husband is only 361 days old than his brother. The cool thing about that is my MIL always does a big birthday thing for all of us so I get pampered too. Last Saturday it was grilled steaks for us --she did all the cooking and prep and watched the kids while I did needle work.

6:49 pm

peri - just change the last letter to a cross

6:49 pm

7:30 pm

need so4/5 - have the bitter one, also need so5/18

7:30 pm

yum - the numbers are the number of letters, and then the point value of the word; the two letters are the beginning of a word

7:31 pm

yum - he= the letter it starts with 4 = the amount of letters in a word 17 = the score like scrabble. each letter has a number in the corner 4 letter word = add numbers 5 letter words double score 6 letter words triple score, etc

7:31 pm

neat. kk

7:31 pm

the other so 4 is what eagles do

9:00 pm

of course, now Seb decides to get fussy... :\

9:00 pm

i'm just logged in to give clues as I notice they're needed, and to catch up on all the latest news. such as, any word on the job application they handed you (was it only last week?)

9:00 pm

GW - I'm deep in the grid trying to finish this little one. After yesterday grid you would think it would be easy.

9:01 pm

[[GW and Seb}}

9:01 pm

We think he may be teething already

9:02 pm

No way GW

9:02 pm

well, Matthew teethed early... so I know it does happen!

9:02 pm

matthew was 2 months old and had all four incisors!

9:02 pm

He is very drooly and massaging his gums helps to calm him down, so he may be faerie

9:03 pm

Well I supose I do know someone whose baby was born with 2 teeth.

9:04 pm

9:05 pm

How do you know how many words you're supposed to get?

9:06 pm

back to your comment re:yesterday vs today, faerie -- i find thast smaller grids just remove the more common words and leave the obscure ones ;D

hi everyone !!!

9:07 pm

Gw - aint that the truth...

9:07 pm

click on lickety's babble clues link to the right, ahem... um, you know who i'm talking to

9:07 pm

hi helen

9:07 pm

no, i don't think so -- yesterday's grid was just as hard, but with WAY more words... i mean, really! stew_pan_? everyone I know calls it a "stewpot"

9:07 pm

LOL Leslie

9:07 pm

helen! how has your day been?

hey stid - fairly productive today (pat's self on back) got sodding & planting done & various chores & went to pool for 2 hours - fun !! how was your day? Leslie !!! nice pic !!!!

9:10 pm

blah. I got some sort of allergic reaction late last night -- still haven't figured out to what, so spent most of my day in bed (fortunately the computer's a laptop...) feeling miserable. Hoping tomorrow will be nice so I can go play outside again!

9:10 pm

Belated (*Angel*) (*helen*)

what's the theme today - i was going to guess fountains, but i see so many different things & can't think of any one single thing to tie them all together?!?!?

9:12 pm

i knew you'd recognize it, yup, fountains

9:12 pm

Helen - it's fountains :)

hey grey! stid - sounds like something devilish to put you in bed, but very nice to have a lap top [i just stare at my computer when i'm down for the count - directly across room from bed :( ]

thx - where is your fountain faeri?

9:13 pm

i feel dumb asking, but me 4/6? (not the drug)

9:14 pm

don't feel dumb leslie - for a lot of us that was our last word. add french for "or"

hi hursh!

9:15 pm

well at least it's an odd one, but i don't do french?

9:15 pm

3rd sh 5/12 is hebrew for hell (well, the underworld, really, they didn't have the current concept of heaven and hell)

9:15 pm

and hello, hursh!

9:15 pm

the theme is supposed to be fountains, but when I finally looked at Babbler's profile after the flip, I read "red" which is tomorrow's thing.

9:15 pm

Helen - I have no ideal. Just grabbed one from the internet. *teehee*

9:15 pm

well than add not me but y**, leslie hi helen

9:16 pm

Leslie that re that I gave you turns out to be the 6/18 sorry. Still looking for the 6/21

Look at our web page, peacocks, geese, Galloway cattle, Highland cattle, and a Scottish Deerhound. http://www.starshi refarm.com

9:36 pm

ar 6/24: the thing your hand is attached to + ending of a word meaning older and wiser (mat***)

9:36 pm

no problem, i needed both. i think hursh gave a clue, add the a-**** (a la mr. t)

9:36 pm

At any rate, Staceyy -- while may seem like smarties to you, the true intelligence that we all share here is the knowledge that we can call upon each other for assistance with any of our difficulties. So don't hesitate to ask for any advice, clues, or whatever -- it is part of why we are here :)

9:37 pm

Yayyyy for rumple!!!!! Congrats on a great finish!!

9:46 pm

that's the babble way, bgl ;)

9:46 pm

that happened to me several times today! weird...

9:47 pm

Leslie when playing sports you are on a te 4/5 so it would be re + te4/5

Tomorrow is another day!

9:47 pm

all right, i lied, attention span getting shorter and shorter: am 5/12?

9:48 pm

am 5/12 sounds like the am 4 right after it, substitute a double vowel for the 'i'

9:48 pm

sigh... thought i typed everything. last two: sh 5/12 (didn't get the underworld clue) and re 5/12 (after your behind)

9:49 pm

nvm monkeyed the sh

9:49 pm

I used babble psychology on myself just now -- I typed up a request for assistance but took another look at the grid before posting it, and there it was!! ;D

9:56 pm

a e 5/12

9:56 pm

ae 6 - a + ei****/or, drop the i

9:56 pm

ae6 = a + et5 (the vapor that scientists used to believe filled outer space)

ae also sounds like the stuff they use to put people to sleep for operations a hundred years ago

9:57 pm

How about so6/21?

9:57 pm

sh 5/12 - opposite of "he" + ** mcdonald (drop the d)

10:41 pm

oops -- missed it YAY faeriekae!

10:41 pm

yall are crazy to finish this i'm workin on 3 hours now and only 65 words found, the rest of the words must be made up and not in any dictionary, because most of the ones i've found from clues don't make any sense at all.

Amen Yumo!!!!!!!!!

10:42 pm

many of the words are very obscure, and often obsolete -- all the words are from the Enable dictionary which many online word games use.

10:42 pm

congrats GW. don't think I will finish this. I am at a loss of some of the words...and my chimpanzee fingers are getting frustrated!

10:43 pm

bbnaz -- if you want help, i am back... what has you flummoxed?

10:45 pm

lessee.......just the HE (other than the first two) ME 4,6 (first) ME 6,21 (last one) MI 6,24 oh and some MOs and MUs yikes! but only have 17 to find yeedawgies!

10:47 pm

he 4,5 and 5: start with female pronoun and all have to do with the Greek god called "Mercury" by the romans... add one vowel to the 4 for the 5, then use latin plural on that for the 6

10:48 pm

the other he 4 is "blood" and we saw it recently

10:48 pm

alright, I am back -- now let's see what we can do to help you finish, bb :)

10:48 pm

me 4/6 #1 is apparently french cat talk that translates to the next me 4... me + two more vowels

10:49 pm

me 6/21: what one does best -- another french word, i think, ends like a comparative ... me + ti 4

10:49 pm

if you have the th's, most of them become he's if you lose the t :)

10:50 pm

mi 6/24: like the more formal word for mommy, only with an i

night everyone! happy babbling!

10:51 pm

good night, TO!

10:51 pm

the mu's that don't relate to silence are pretty much all variants of each other -- if you have the 4's then double the consonant -- if you have a 5 reverse the process

10:52 pm

G'nite TO and TYVM for all the help Stid and GW

10:52 pm

'night, TO!

10:52 pm

G'nite Temple!!

10:53 pm

Always a pleasure, bb -- so where do you stand on count now?

10:53 pm

yw bbnaz -- next?

10:53 pm
