Hey, good morning all. Couldn't sleep so might as well BABBLE.

12:05 am

lol knut, I want that one too

didn't stay up all that late really, Deutsch.....anyhow; we usually sleep about 6-7 hours per night, sometimes a little more.....then we often take a nap in the afternoon lately, too :-)

12:15 am

Well my goodness. Sitting here on my you know what, ending the day as artsy as I began it, I suddenly found myself flipped like everyone else into an unlooked for future. Very upsetting, with just three words to go. I agree with knutmeg about being so summarily tessered forward, only when I began to scroll own to where I could begin to tell her so I found myself plummeting like Alice down an endless warren of words. Had to log off and on again to make myself communicado. What a wonderful age we now live in, to be sure. Now it's my turn to turn in, so once more, with feeling, "Goodnight sweethearts".

12:15 am

ufensil??

l5/16 - to pick something up ;-)

aw, Hetty; sorry about your frustration there.....but goodnight to you then.....have a good sleep, and pleasant dreams, i hope? :-)

12:18 am

hetty, what a bummer, goodnight however

12:18 am

good night hetty -- see you tomorrow

12:26 am

okay, no utensil, how about sensei instead??

12:26 am

12:28 am

nan--you're amazing, no 6's for me yet so I can't be of help...sorry. Well done!

12:29 am

1:31 am

other f 5/16 is a faked, deceptive ploy to distract attention

1:33 am

other single 'f' is a very thin pastry dough

1:34 am

1:46 am

1:47 am

1:48 am

1:50 am

thanks.

1:51 am

ty knutmeg...I'm done!

1:51 am

Congratulations, Pinecone!!!

1:52 am

I usually try to see how many words I can get without the hints - then look at the hints as they are posted in the comments, then I look at the lists - but mostly lately for the basic stats -only when I get stuck do I start to look at the specific words and their order to figure out what I might have missed

1:52 am

good night everyone...and happy babbling

2:05 am

I am finished - sings the done song

2:09 am

Done!!! Done!!!! Done!!! I always thought the pf word was ps** instead

2:17 am

Morning dear gang :)

2:20 am

Morning sprite

2:21 am

a7/32 ... finally. That one's been bugging me!!

2:22 am

Good Morning everyone. I'm just now able to connect to babble. For some reason, couldn't get in all afternoon. Hmm. Addict? I kept trying!

Well you made it wassup! Yay!

2:23 am

Addict. No doubt about it. Welcome in the gang :)

2:23 am

Yeah, still getting lots of lag. But, for now I'm here. :)

2:26 am

I'm having a lot of connection problems also. Keep having to refresh.

2:32 am

I was wondering how I would go about saying something to the entire Babbler Community....Does anyone know where to post?

2:33 am

Guess best place is here in the log. BaBaNon isn't visited by all babblers.

2:33 am

Or both here and at babanon .

2:34 am

I'm thinking of the person who posts interesting facts each day.....

2:35 am

Who would that be?

2:36 am

I don't know, but there is supposedly an email you can write to to tell an interesting fact....

2:37 am

I have really no idea.

2:37 am

I think what you are referring to is the facenating fact of the day that goes on licketys list. you need to email him or MrP, their email addresses are on licketys list.

2:38 am

Goodnight, too much lag.

2:38 am

T Y, T y, T Y!!!! That's it!!!!

2:38 am

That will not reach the entire babble community then :)

2:47 am

good morning everyone :)

2:48 am

Hi jean :)

3:07 am

how are maoist and taoist not words?

3:09 am

ive never heard of them :-/

3:14 am

Good morning all.

3:14 am

taoist, a follower of tao, and for maoist, check out the rebels in Nepal. Communists who take their lead from Mao, rather than Stalin, Lenin, or Marx.

3:15 am

hi haz, u ok today?

3:16 am

I'm fine thanks.

3:16 am

morning haz

3:17 am

hello everyone....hope you all ok :)......and I keep wanting 'affluent' !!

3:17 am

We all want 'affluent'!

3:18 am

LOL....LOL....Haz.....you're right !!!

3:21 am

im stuck on the f words

3:22 am

I've only got 3 'f' words jo jo

3:23 am

I'm looking forward to a quieter day than yesterday. Part of it was spent navigating one daughter around all the local primary schools so that she could leave in her CV. The rest of the time seemed to be spent on the phone to my flat-hunting daughter in Edinburgh. First the perfect flat had slipped out of their grasp, then they got it, then the other girls wondered if it was too expensive, then they went to see a grotty flat that persuaded them that the perfect flat WAS perfect and worth the money. All this in the midst of exam preparation!

3:23 am

however, i found a nice little ma6/27

3:24 am

Morning Haz Soulds like a very busy day yesterday, is today going to be more tranquil for you?

3:24 am

oh dear Haz....there's always something with these kids we thought were a good idea at the time...still would'nt be without them !!

3:26 am

Today should be better - I'm involved with a local cancer charity and we are doing a couple of photographs for publicity. One of them is at a local gym (toned bodies) where I'm told the ladies getting their photographs taken have made hair appointments!

3:27 am

for the f's ive got fi4/7 fu4/8 fa5/18 and fa4/8 if that helps anyone

3:27 am

I'll just be the frazzled looking one!

3:28 am

and of course you have too, I don't suppose Haz !!

3:30 am

jo jo....there's an fe5 and 6

3:30 am

No - no hair appointment for me. They'll just have to put up with my own efforts.

3:30 am

does anyone have a aluc for a7/32

3:30 am

are you organising or participating in the shoot Haz?

3:31 am

uncles wife jo jo

3:31 am

jo jo....your Mum's sisters

3:31 am

ty dave

3:32 am

jojo your mums sister

3:33 am

I'm just participating. The local gym for ladies have offered to run a sponsored walk and the photograph is to launch that. The other one is to thank a local firm who have donated a wheelchair to be used in the charity's headquarters. The photographers from the local papers are good at organising how they want things done so we'll just do as we're told.

3:34 am

should be fun then and all for a great cause.

3:34 am

has to beat doing the housework which is now calling me !!!

3:35 am

right off for a while happy babbling everyone :)

3:35 am

It does beat housework! FMItch, how did you get on yesterday?

3:36 am

Very well thanks for asking Haz, spent 4 hrs with the client who was v happy with the work, next meeting is on Wed and there will be lots more work to follow (thank goodness)

3:37 am

Good - so a new printer is definitely going to be needed for all that lovely work!

3:38 am

consumed with couriosity now !!!....how can I do housework wondering what !!!....may I ask please FMitch ?

3:38 am

LOL thats for sure!!

3:41 am

ab 5.14 pls

3:41 am

BRB phone.

3:42 am

ab5/14 - a plus the word for heating something up to a certain point

3:44 am

of course it is - thnx haz

3:44 am

you're welcome.

3:45 am

back, what did you want to know Karys?

3:48 am

Karys may have gone to do the housework but she probably wanted to know what business you are involved in. You can tell me instead!

3:49 am

Good morning one and all. I've just had a quick scan through the chat log, and ready to start, but I have a hair appointment at 11am, (not for a photo shoot Haz), just a trim.

3:50 am

Good morning, ex-Wren. I always like getting my hair done, but am always conscious that it won't look that good again for another six weeks!

3:52 am

It's been seven weeks this time, so I have the 'shaggy dog' look

3:53 am

Oh, that's very fashionable, ex-Wren. Have you not noticed in hair magazines that some of the models look like 'before' rather than 'after' and as though a comb hasn't seen their head for weeds?

3:53 am

Oops didn't realise the time must go. Haz catch up later, have a good photo shoot :)

3:53 am

Weeks!

3:54 am

Thanks FMitch - I should go too to get 'dolled up'.

4:03 am

is the pf word same as sewing machine?

4:06 am

It's pf4/11 - more like a description of a sound - no vowels.

4:07 am

Now I'm gone - will return later.

4:52 am

now how can that pf word possibly be a word? good morning/good day.

4:54 am

good morning cliff. Isn't that pf word something else?

4:55 am

crazy.

4:56 am

cna't quite make out your photo-is it a cat in a pose of utter abandon?

4:58 am

it's my cat Zoey doing yoga:) theme is pretzels, she's trying her best to turn herself into a pretzel.

5:12 am

cliff-was at a planning meeting for our Blackfly Festival yesterday. Sounds like its going to be great this year-if the weather is nice to us. You should come! Saturday, May 27th. Usually we have the Red Cross Blood mobile, but because it's a holiday they can't make it, but we figure people will donate blood anyway, through a generous cross-species gift(-:

5:16 am

what town/city is it in? maybe i can talk my husband into going. i love the red cross bloodmobile idea. i'm a donor on a regular basis :)

5:18 am

missing 1 u. I have: a section + plural uncravat + plural wait un___ your father gets home What am I missing?

5:19 am

"un** us a child is born" or something like that. sounds like a number.

5:20 am

It's in Adamant, which is a tiny village, part of Calais, which is just 10 minutes from Montpelier. I used to give blood regularly, but they had a terrible time with my veins the last 3 times - causing massive hematomas,etc, so I have decided I just have to give in other ways.

5:20 am

Thanks Cliff! Perfect clue.

5:20 am

i meant the ** sounds like a number. not one, not three, the one in between.

5:24 am

okay, how about finding the missing f? I have: fa4/8 fa5/18 fe5/16 fe6/ 27 fe5/16 fe4/7

5:24 am

i'm going to work on my husband. see if we can't take a drive over there. i think i've told you before, if i didn't live in NH i'd be living in VT. my husband feels the same. it's one option we will be looking into when the youngest is done with college.

5:25 am

oops, forgot fi4/7 fu4/8

5:26 am

there is an fe 5/18 but i don't have it yet.

5:27 am

This is a particularly wonderful area cliff-I love Montpelier-small, but good restaurants, lots of music, arts,etc. Adamant is a very active and tight community with many artists. Tremendous permission around here to be eccentric. People really take care of each other. Community potlucks at each other's houses, etc. Also drop dead beautiful . Only thing is......blackflies. And property taxes in Montpelier itself are prohibitive-as the state owns a lot of property and of course doesn't pay taxes and there's no industry.

5:30 am

sounds great. blackflies don't get us down. we're used to dealing with them. any fishing nearby? that is the one big requirement for us. we both love to fish.

5:30 am

fe5/18-one of those weird french fire words. Had to be because the u is the only 2 pointer around. Thanks for steering me to it. Ends in the chemical symbol for argon.

5:31 am

Morning all. Fe5/18 is Scottish for one who holds a right to free land.

5:31 am

well I don't fish, but there are quite a few ponds and lakes where I see other people fishing.

5:33 am

hi jacula. more scottish words - the scots must have helped assemble the enable dictionary.

5:35 am

Och aye, Cliffopa, I reckon so!:-) BTW, my icon is in keeping with today's theme - it's the beanie baby dog called 'Pretzels'.

5:35 am

the n's: nothings number + plural decree ni__ awful little hair bugges sisters one missing

5:36 am

Enable says 'naff' isn't a word.

5:37 am

do you have an ne 5/10? there are 4 ni 4/4's in all.

5:38 am

nope-don't have that one yet...off hunting.

5:38 am

Eva - Thanks for the sister clue for the n's. Couldn't think what you meant for a moment but finding words has become a habit.;)

5:38 am

i used to have a nice assortment of cat or cat-like beanie babies. that is, until my dog found them. had to have his stomach pumped because he swallowed too many of the beanie things.

5:39 am

Cliffopa - Oh dear!:( I don't collect them but my o/h's daughter does.

5:39 am

got it!

5:41 am

Early in our lives with Merp we made the mistake of leaving a large catnip rat out for him to play with on his own. Ended up in the emergency room for 3 hours a 2 am. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Brought him home where he promptly and happily threw up the entire rat on my bed. We never leave toys unattended anymore.

5:42 am

i actually have a special room with a gate at the door for the cats to play with catnip toys. my dog has destroyed every one he got hold of. i have to use the room when i adopt new cats until i am convinced the dog won't think they are a toy.

5:43 am

Not so long ago, there was a photo in my newspaper showing an x-ray of a small dog that had swallowed an 18" metal tent peg. Lord knows HOW a) it managed it, b) why it did it or c) how it survived.

5:44 am

Cassette and video tapes, and plastic bags are other things dogs are fond of swallowing - causes havoc with their innards.

5:44 am

Missing a b. Have: vampire rodents a b___ on the screen sailing things + plural what happens to heated water + plural short for a metal person what's not there?

5:46 am

bo4/6 (Spanish) - A leather bag or sack for holding wine.

5:47 am

the image of dogs thinking a cat is a toy is a rather gruesome one. My friend's new seeing eye labrador ate an entire cloth napkin the other day. Came out just fine though(-: Merp is working himself up to a fine pre-breakfat hysteria. It's only 6:46. I'm not budging until 7 at least!

5:48 am

thanks Jac!

5:50 am

y/w Eva. Speaking of feeding cats, I'd better feed my two. They've been surprisingly quiet considering I'm an hour late with their breakfast. BBL.

5:51 am

my dog hasn't hurt any live animals yet - but he will pick up toads in his mouth. not a smart idea. he keeps doing it tho.....

5:54 am

that reminds me of a really funny cult video called Cane Toads. It's a short documentary on the cane toads which were imported to Australia from Hawaii supposedly to take care of locusts or some such thing. One of those incredibly misguided ideas. The cane toads look like cow patties on legs and are poisonous. You can rent it at the more independent video stores. If they allow any of those in NH(-: Merp is now eating a philodendron. Probably time for breakfast.

5:56 am

best you go and feed the beast :)

6:01 am

9 left to find. A nice manageable puzzle. See you all later.

6:01 am

bye eva!

6:26 am

afternoon all

6:27 am

wish it was afternoon. then i'd be home from work already :) hi sha.

6:33 am

Cliffopa. Hi again. Looking at your icon, I think you'd like the new Whiskas ad for Fred the Bedhead. Link is below (take out any Babble spaces)... http://www.whiskas .co.uk/Whiskas/en-GB/TVAds/def ault.htm

6:41 am

hi everyone, how you all doing?

6:41 am

any hints for the first in word please? The in5?

6:43 am

Often used as a prefix - meaning inferior or underneath. in5/16

6:44 am

loved the Whiskas advertisement link jacula! thanks :)

6:46 am

Thanks, haz. Got it. Love the black and white cat theme today. I have one too, a nine year old male who arrived as a feral kitten living in the garden shed. He's called Flad, short for Flathead, and is now very fat and loving, but won't be picked up.

6:47 am

Hi Ylleria, Hazel, Hydra. Cliffopa - Glad you liked it. Just been looking around that site and I see they're running a poetry competition. It closes 31st May.

Hay guyz! LoLz

6:49 am

Hello CAPONE.

6:50 am

Hi, Jacula - just heading out the door (again) to give the dog a walk but couldn't resist trying to find a few more words. I'll be back later.

6:50 am

Ooops, wrong profile. Refresh to see my biotch of a cat, Revelation.

6:51 am

I love the line in Frasier where Niles says he's off to take his multiple personality group 'And it takes forever to fill out the name tags'

6:53 am

LOL, Haz. Have a good walk. Capone - Your cat?

6:54 am

Yes, hence my comment. Have a grey and black tabby too, Pedro. Rev is 9 years old this year, Pedro is 3

7:04 am

pf 4/11?! I really, really cannot figure that one out. Can anyone help?

7:05 am

Ylleria - pf4 is a sound like something deflating.

7:06 am

Thanks jacula - I'm not convinced I'd say that's a word though

7:10 am

I'm just pondering whether to struggle with my final 6 words (a 'gl', some li's and an 'ma') now, or leave them until later.

7:11 am

Just got the 'ma'. Silly me! They are what cats sit on.

7:12 am

I got a gl jac !!

7:13 am

Hi Karys. Just got it myself. Talking to cliffopa should have clued me in, if you get my drift.:)

7:13 am

lol jac ;D

7:14 am

Hmm- that 'gl' is a new word for me. Must remember it.

7:14 am

nicely discriptive isn't it !!

7:15 am

Yes, Karys, it is. I like that word.

7:16 am

i can just imagine lots of us all 'gl' ing at evry available moment !!

7:19 am

can anyone help with the is 4/6? I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious.

7:21 am

I'm done. I'd have been finished a lot sooner on those 'li's' if I hadn't totally missed the fact that there's an 'l' at the top r/h side of the grid as well as bottom left. *sighs*

7:21 am

ylleria...nursery rhyme ? ? black sheep

7:22 am

Well Done jac !!

7:22 am

I still got 17 to go

7:22 am

Ylleria - it's an acronym. Is + a university degree.

7:23 am

Ylleria (an arts degree, if that helps).

7:23 am

Hiya, everyone!!!!!!

7:23 am

Karys - Just tap on my monitor if you want any help.:-)

7:24 am

Yes, that does help - cheers Jacula!

7:43 am

Never mind, I just got that f..... It's a type of pastry.....

7:48 am

I'm probably too late anyway... does anyone know hurshy's sign?

7:49 am

Well, seeing as SCD's probably gone now, can anyone else help me with that top row a?

7:49 am

CHS, to put into, metaphorically, as in good values into one's children

8:56 am

You're my saviour, SCD.....

9:00 am

*sinsong voice* hurshy used a woooord, hurshy used a wooooord

pisces here

9:01 am

TWICE!!!

9:01 am

dang, well if there are going to be prepositions in the grid, it's very hard to avoid them

9:01 am

LOL

9:03 am

Just me trying to amuse myself movieman... I'm polling everyone to see what the most frequent sign of Babblers is... I predicted Capricorn, but I may turn out to be wrong (perish the thought)!!

9:04 am

Jera, I am Cancer

9:04 am

10 words to go!

9:04 am

and WHY is is special Hursh? Would it be the day that you graced the world?

9:04 am

err Jera, I am a Capricorn

9:04 am

nope, nope not my birthday

9:05 am

you are merely witnessing the joy of a math teacher who has watched a brilliant mind at work.

9:06 am

math dyslexic here.........so anybody who can do great math things has my utmost awe

9:06 am

I had your info from last night, bbnaz...

9:06 am

you have GOT to be kidding me, i can't believe they took that!

9:06 am

i have ONE smart student, and he makes me feel so happy when i watch him think.

9:07 am

hey hurshy, what level of math do you teach?

9:07 am

calculus and precalc

9:08 am

you may be the answer to my prayers...i am tutoring a student in math right now (lower level than precalc) and i was stumped by two problems...

9:09 am

sure, shoot :)

9:09 am

Arrgghh! Calculus! *assumes fetal position*

9:10 am

Uneaixoise - I've reached the happy state of being too old to remember what calculus WAS!

9:10 am

well, it's kind of complicated to put on babble. and shoot, i don't have it with me today. i may have to get back to you later...basically, it involves multiplying fractions that contain polynomials (i hope i'm saying that right)

9:11 am

sure, fractions with polynomials. um, do you have AIM?

9:11 am

I'll NEVER forget--went into midterm exam with a B+ average and got an F! And before calculus I had LOVED math!

9:12 am

i do

9:12 am

oh, so sorry une :(

9:12 am

same screen name as here?

9:13 am

lovelyr79

9:14 am

Jera. I am a libra. Got to get back to house cleaning though.

9:15 am

pt 6 plz.....

9:16 am

pt plus fourth vowel and abbreviated female sibling.

9:16 am

pt6 sorta rhymes with term for bad breath

9:17 am

Or the nasty disease that rabbits get.

hello, everyone!

9:18 am

Hi TO :)

9:18 am

Good morning Temple Owl.

9:19 am

9:20 am

Thanks Temple so is yours....Wait until you see Shorty:)

9:21 am

Hurshy - I've got 32 wrds you would be here the rest of the day if you had to depend on me LOL

9:22 am

mine needs mustard! we are famour here for out pretzels and take them quite seriously! is shorty here?

9:22 am

SCD - what is GWHIM?

9:23 am

CHS, Guess What Hurshy Is Missing!

9:23 am

TO - I love hot pretzles with mustard :) Shorty was here earlier she may have stepped out for a minute.

9:24 am

Or, 'cos I only need 4 more words, we could play GWMIM....

9:24 am

indeed! we could play both simultaneously!

9:25 am

haven't you played before, CHS? read my bio for details.

9:25 am

ok I'm back again not as if anybody knew I was gone LOL

9:26 am

not true shorty, there was much wanting of your presence

faeriekae: there are no hot pretzels here...they must be bought from someone on a corner or traffic island and they are NEVER hot

lol shorty!

9:26 am

SCD - No I haven't, but it does sound fun!!!!

9:27 am

so which boxes are you missing words from, CHS?

9:27 am

By the way, I only need 3 more now.....

9:27 am

show-off

9:27 am

sure buddy !!!!!

9:27 am

Hursh - the s in the middle of the 4th row.....

9:27 am

Hi agian Twin Shorty :)

9:28 am

I only need 115 LOL

9:28 am

mine is so weird, i have everything greyed except the fourth row, none of the boxes greyed in that row

9:28 am

all 3 from there, CHS, or just one of them?

9:28 am

so what did your mom say faerie are we twins seperated at birth

9:28 am

ha I only need 94...

9:29 am

all three, SCD....

9:29 am

ok, my first guess is st 5/12

9:30 am

SCD - well done!!! That's one of them.....

9:30 am

awww man why isn't enuff a word

9:30 am

I wanna know why naff isn't acceptable....

9:31 am

Congrats MOVIEMAN!!!!!

9:31 am

next guess... mmm... so 4/5?

9:31 am

Shorty - there is a 5 letter word with those last four letters -

9:31 am

SCD - there's really no point in me playing, 'cos I reckon I'll know exactly which ones you're missing......

9:32 am

CHS - that means you are the perfect player!!!! :) :)

9:32 am

SCD - Nope!!!!!

9:32 am

hmmm let me look for this word

9:32 am

st 5/10?

9:33 am

got it thanks Haz

9:33 am

s + what you do to your laces

9:33 am

(note: hurshy not asking for clues, hurshy playing GWMIM)

9:33 am

You're welcome!

9:33 am

SCD - That's another, just one more to go....

9:34 am

st 4/6?

9:34 am

not the knifing one

9:34 am

nor the male deer

9:34 am

Oops, sorry, I misunderstand ...

9:35 am

it IS confusing, jera :)

9:35 am

Well done, SCD, that's 15 points to you!!!!!

9:35 am

:D ok, i am missing one from that S as well

9:36 am

so what did your mom say faerie are we twins seperated at birth :P

9:36 am

Shorty - I hate to break it to you like this over Babble and all but Yes....

Oh - is it possible i can supply a clue?? :) st 4/6 - similar to knifing one, if one is british

9:37 am

SCD - is it the st5/12?

WTG, movieman!

9:41 am

9:41 am

{{{Shorty}}} I'm sorry....but she still doesn't want you back......She said you have a new family now and to just leave well enough alone. I'm just so happy that we found each other. Want to go on Jerry Springer show :)

9:41 am

SCD - Yes there are.....

9:41 am

yes there are two, thanks CHS, 5 points!

9:41 am

Movieman - I'm doing a quiz based on film names with cryptic clues given (i.e Departing on a Zephyr is Gone with the Wind.) What could be another name for 1. 'White House' 2. 'Hero, Villain and Quasimodo' 3. 'Act of the Action Figures' 4. 'A story begins in a South American Nation' I'm not much into films but a huge prize (£15) is at stake!

9:42 am

1 is casablanca

9:43 am

brb

2. is the good, the bad and the ugly

9:43 am

3... march of the toys? is that a movie?

9:44 am

I wondered about 3. 'Toy Story'?

9:45 am

that seems a little loose compared to the others, though

9:45 am

sorry I was brushing my nieces hair

why isn't tilsit a word? cheddar is. swiss is . muenster is.

9:45 am

yes we must go on Jerry Springer

9:47 am

4. Once Upon a Time in Mexico?

9:47 am

3. March of the Wooden Soldiers?

9:47 am

its <beep}ing hot outside....

9:48 am

good morning, all! is it a good demonstration of my self control, or a bad sign of my babblediction that I log on even when I have only 15 minutes?!?

9:48 am

it very cool here 60 degrees

9:48 am

Excellent - the money is going to be mine for sure....

9:48 am

haz there's a movie called Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, maybe that is 3

9:48 am

84 here

9:49 am

what state are you in capone?

9:49 am

tell them you deserve extra money if 4 is right because mexico is in NORTH america, not south

9:49 am

I'll google it to make sure whether it is parade or march of the wooden soldiers. Thanks for your help everyone!

9:50 am

Haz - I knew 1 & 2, but I really should have got no. 4....

9:51 am

ok, CHS, ready for more GWHIM? i need one S from the left, 2 i's, one o, and one a. they are all from that fourth row.

9:51 am

Some of the other ones that I have got include 'Precipation bloke' 'Locomotive contemplation' 'People who robbed Noah'

9:52 am

seriously haz, yell at them about their poor geography

9:52 am

Precipitation it should be..

9:52 am

Rain Man!

9:52 am

SCD - Is one of them the og4/7....

9:53 am

it's March of the Wooden Soldiers

9:53 am

a-yup, 5 points!

9:53 am

Nobody would get it if it was 'A story begins in a North American nation'!

9:53 am

Haz - They are Rain Man, Trainspotting, and Raiders of the Lost Ark....

9:54 am

I knew you'd get them, movieman!

9:54 am

but it would be TRUE and noah's ark and the ark of the covenant are COMPLETELY unrelated! other than both being part of jewish history

9:54 am

SCD - I'm guessing, the ab4/6....

9:55 am

5 more points CHS!

9:55 am

Ah, but sure we're only simple people here....

9:56 am

SCD - Is it the is4/6....

9:56 am

but if you've even seen the movie, you know it's not about noah's ark...

9:56 am

5 more points to you CHS! that leaves an i5, and an s5 from left

9:57 am

It's just for fun! (And to win me a prize)

9:57 am

i know haz, i know... sorry :)

9:57 am

Hurshy -- are you being too exact? what wrong with using a literary sound-alike to clue?

9:57 am

Haz, if you win, you have to buy chocolate for us all!

9:58 am

ok, ok, you've found me out. i'm a stickler.

9:58 am

hurshy, do you have the i5 that's in***red vision?

9:58 am

SCD - Then they have to be the in5/16 & the sn5/24....

9:58 am

oh, 5 points for une and a fish for me!

9:58 am

woohoo!

9:58 am

Une - stop stealing my thunder!!!!!

9:59 am

movie, you may also have 5 points for the in, since it was sort of a tie. but i have sn5/24

9:59 am

well, I made progress, but need to go now... see you in an hour +!

9:59 am

hey hey now movieman - game is open to all!!!

9:59 am

9:59 am

Or HAL will do to you what he did to Frank Poole and 3 other crew members of the Discovery!!!!!

9:59 am

Hey everybody...I'm sneaking in while hubby is gone before I have to go look at boring stuff at Home Depot.

10:00 am

YAY sha!

10:00 am

speaking of thunder, we just went from blistering sun to dark clouds and rain and my dog who's terrified of thunder came flying in and ducked under the computer table! :-)

10:00 am

ok any clue for the ab4/6 i cannot get it ive tried everything ARG!!!!!!!!

10:00 am

yeah sha

10:00 am

congrats, sha!

10:00 am

10:01 am

Nevermind I got it

10:01 am

ab 4/6 a+ male companion + plural

10:01 am

SCD - is it the sn5/10 then....

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:01 am

10:12 am

{{{{Smaller}}}} Hi, we are twins we just found out today Mom gave Shorty to the gypsies passing through town when we were born.

10:12 am

Wonder of wonders, thank you all. I have wondered about the magic word "refresh"" and sought for a button on the tax bar in vain; so I just closed down and opened up again and there all those lovely words were. Now if I can only get my image back (I tried to edit with a new photo in honour of pretzels but it didn't work. I'll try again later--want to double my score on the grid first. I'm beginning to feel fiercely competitive and such a state ois etraordinary for me.

10:12 am

Never mind SCD, at least I tried!!!! Anyway, gotta go, be back on the morrow..... Seeya!!!!!!

pf 4/11... how is that a word?! heh!

10:13 am

Ummmm-Good question Shorty....Mom sure had a lot of kids so maybe it was HER....should I call her again?

10:14 am

yes yes!

10:14 am

ok - calling MoM once agin. We have to get to the bottom of this.

10:15 am

i'm off to class, and yes movieman, thanks so much for playing... Guess What Hurshy Is Missing!!!!!

10:15 am

Pixie-- I think it's the sound of disgust or disbelief, followed by an eyeroll, that my daughter gives me when it becomes apparant that I am hopelessly lost in Geekdom.

10:16 am

Oh Hetty - Babble has claimed another victim.

10:16 am

bye hurshy!

hehe she sounds like my sister!

10:16 am

I'm off as well, but I'll be back on the morrow.... SEEYA!!!!!

10:16 am

10:22 am

10:23 am

10:36 am

Hey I'm back... had to feed the butterflies!

10:37 am

Jera I just got my hummingbird feeders out yesterday :)

10:38 am

Jera & faerie - that sounds so "tropical", definately phrases we would not use here in the UK.

10:38 am

Jera I pick up oranges from the fruit market when they are getting rid of them and put them out for the butterflies and birds

10:38 am

Well, it's time to go and get on with some ironing. Shorty - keep asking for the clues and then finding the words yourself. It keeps everyone on their toes! Have a good day everyone.

10:39 am

you mean they let you do that at the supermarkets?

10:39 am

byee Haz

10:39 am

These are our captives that we raised... we put sugar water on attractive blossoms. We let one go yesterday & guess where it went? Made a beeline for Sprite's Butterfly bush!

10:39 am

10:40 am

Bye, Haz... do I have you on my zodiac poll chart??

I onlyhave 1 more left to find, the ne 5 anyone? :s

10:40 am

10:40 am

10:41 am

bonker, the fe5 is similar to the ending of polter...

11:09 am

jinx? am i missing a nuance, in my special newbie way?

11:09 am

LOL torgone! no idea, bonk

11:10 am

despite the possibility of another jinx, bonk, it's what you say after two people say the same thing

11:10 am

fe5 & 6 - a deceptive action, like in boxing ..

11:10 am

thanks carrie, that's the 5/16 though, i need the 18 :-)

11:11 am

sorry bonkler, just realized you wanted a different fe5---can't help you there.

11:12 am

oops wrong one ..

11:12 am

hey bonkler, just monkey typed it. You'll need a two-point vowel and the result sort of reminded me of the second month

11:13 am

got the dodging and weaving. fe5/18 last of the fe words. jinx....learn something new here every day

11:14 am

following carrie's sound advice, i monkey punched it and am finito for this grid. thanks everyone for noble assistance, comedy and larrnings

11:15 am

I remember taking the green line to work dowtown everyday, listening to the paper vendors crying out "Globe & Herald". And going to Au Bon Pain for a breakfast pastry. Good times!

11:32 am

Do you have the in 6/18?

11:35 am

thanks! :) I"m trying to go down the list and i'm randomly getting stuck so i appreciate the help :)

11:35 am

You know how weavers have warps and w****--just drop the "W"

afternoon all...speaking of not in vocabulary...pf is more of a sound affect instead of a word.

11:35 am

talk - if you do the list in order ---- do it backwards - start at the end of the alphabet. That will keep you from having to scroll down.

11:36 am

Anyone have the in 6?

11:39 am

musicmom a lot of people need to in.... good manners in children

11:41 am

Hugs and Kisses Caitlyn!!!! That makes me finished!!!!! Need to check on some curricula issues for work. be back later to clue

11:53 am

Hey gramma, wassup :) (that's hey to wassup too!)

11:53 am

dear gramma--sorry to hear you're still bug-ridden, but you are brave and you will enjoy this one. Very few tricks about it today

11:54 am

probably. i couldn't do ANYthing. It was really frustrating. That's the problem with this game being so addicting. I kept trying all night!

11:55 am

Hi wassup ...Hi gramma I have had problems with my computer since i had it .When i post a message i lose the internet and have to restart!

11:55 am

how come the in6/18 works? it uses one letter box twice as far as i can see.

11:55 am

Hi caitlin, I'm cancer too, but not at all crabby

11:56 am

smapo - no it doesn't in6

11:56 am

I love my computer!!! The only thing I really use it for, is games. It used to be a Very expensive deck of cards; but, now, it's my link to Babble.

11:57 am

smapo - it goes up slight down to right and across the bottom

11:57 am

smapo, go down after the "s", not up

11:57 am

Im not crabby either hetty (but i do walk strangely)

11:57 am

Sags are finally on the chart!! Still no Aries, I might have to count my daughter... she doesn't really play though, she's more into sudoku & has gotten her teacher hooked, LOL

11:58 am

got it :)

11:58 am

my Tom plays occasionally -- he's an Aries, but also more into the number-box game!

11:58 am

Gramma! Sorry to hear that you still have that virus. Do you have XP serivce pack 2 installed?

11:59 am

my hubby is a gemini and HATES any word games. So, if you're keeping track of anti-babblers... :)

11:59 am

I don't know what that is.?..

11:59 am

Scorpios have a slight lead at 7, but there are 6 each of Caps, Cancer, Aquarius & Leo.

11:59 am

Hmmm... maybe that will be my next project, wassup...

11:59 am

Well, have you run Windows Update lately?

12:00 pm

go scorpio!

12:00 pm

Oh <beep> I'm late for my painkillers, no wonder I hurt so bad... brb

12:00 pm

Yes.

12:00 pm

sagitarrius & rooster here...

12:01 pm

Ok good. Well, I found out some info about that bug you have, but not exactly how to get rid of it.

12:01 pm

Matthew is Sag, Grant is Pisces... both play when I let them, though Matthew is more enthusiastic :-) funny thing, matthew is a better swimmer, grant is the better archer...

12:02 pm

Howdy everbody! Jera, I'm a sagittarius chinese, I'm a rat

12:02 pm

Jera -- take care of yourself -- get those meds in you, and come back to play!

12:02 pm

Hi Deutsch

12:03 pm

What I read said that there wasn't a patch for it. Whatever that means?? I'm guessing, it can't be fixed yet.

12:03 pm

You're right:) That's what it means.

12:04 pm

Hi caitlyn, seems I'm not properly dressed. hmmm... pretzels....

12:04 pm

Yup

12:04 pm

stidmama, are they like regular players? I'm not counting Sprite because she really doesn't play, not sure what rules I'm gonna have. Should I say must play once a week? What says the group?

12:05 pm

Jera, how about how people feel about the game? Addicted versus non?

12:06 pm

Matthew plays several times a week, but can't devote as much time since he is in school... Grant plays a couple times a week, but is younger, so his goal is ten words or more. Tom plays only occasionally, but at least once a week...

12:06 pm

I could get a lot more work done if I only played once a week!!

12:06 pm

Deutsch, I was thinking the same criteria. Addiction.

12:06 pm

Deutsch, I wish I had a picture of zebra pretzels, that would be perfect, LOL

12:06 pm

I have 24 words left to find, but the dog is jumping on the door to get me outside... not well behaved, but sweet. BBL!

12:08 pm

gotta go begin my day. talk to you guys later!

12:09 pm

Why do people phone when Im on the computer?

12:10 pm

See ya wassup ^_^

12:10 pm

Bye wassup :)

12:10 pm

Caitlyn, you must have the same person calling you who called me yesterday.

12:11 pm

later wassup and stid <----------Zebra swirl pretzels

12:12 pm

Perfect, Deutsch, LOL

12:13 pm

I'm still seeing pigs & flowers, are some people not playing the theme (like me) or do I need to refresh again?

12:13 pm

LOL Deutsch

12:13 pm

12:14 pm

12:14 pm

Yay bookgrrl !

12:14 pm

Huzzah for bookgrrl (love that name!)!

12:14 pm

ab 5/14 = a + something you might do to water (e.g. to make tea)

12:14 pm

12:14 pm

Well done bookgrrl

12:15 pm

12:16 pm

12:16 pm

bookgrrl *stunned silence* you are the first person who knew about that old tree! Wow! Yes, it still grows. As you know, it gets its water from the springs in the clock.

12:17 pm

ha! i live in terre haute now, but i grew up in vevay (on the ohio river near madison). passed through greensburg frequently on the way to indy.

12:18 pm

I went to school not far from you, Hanover College.

12:19 pm

12:28 pm

time for me to teach the wild things. Be back later tonight.

12:28 pm

bye, mm!

12:28 pm

ooops abe - gave you the wrong clue --- sorry:-((

12:29 pm

12:30 pm

Later days, musicmom! I'll be back in a bit. Need to feed.

12:30 pm

li4 - Italian money

12:31 pm

THANK YOU VICUNA!!!!!!!!!!

12:31 pm

Wow, you must have really wanted that! :) You're welcome.

12:32 pm

Food to prepare! Catch you tomorrow bye

12:32 pm

Bye caitlyn & deutsch :)

12:33 pm

ok, last word st 5/10 the first one

12:33 pm

abe - where piggies live...

12:33 pm

abe pigs live in these

12:33 pm

I have st5/10 where pigs live, but it's the only one I have, so I don't know if it's the first.

12:33 pm

st 5/10 = st + grain

12:34 pm

hmm, ok, then i need the second st 5/10

12:34 pm

Then it's the weaselly animal..

12:35 pm

Probably katieq's, which is a weaselly animal.

12:35 pm

thanks kateq!! i am done. i am going out to lunch, but then i will be back to give hints! thanks everyone~!

12:35 pm

st 5/10 = st + oa 4/4 minus the s

12:35 pm

bye abe!

12:36 pm

Lunchtime!!!! Hi All!!!!

12:36 pm

how about the is 4/6?

12:36 pm

yw! does anyone have the is 4/6?

12:37 pm

Hi Mama :)

12:37 pm

NI 4 and I'm assuming it's plural NI5 ? Help, please.

12:37 pm

ni's ...number after 8

12:37 pm

The is4/6 is dumb. Add the first 2 letters of the alphabet, in reverse order

12:38 pm

ni 4/4 = number ni 5/10 = plural number

12:38 pm

and plural

12:38 pm

is4/6 - What a sheep says is---

12:38 pm

OK - last word - fe5/18 anyone?

12:38 pm

TY katieq 8)

12:39 pm

ty! what a silly word that is

12:39 pm

ty for the is clues :)

12:41 pm

fe5/18 - has to do with Scottish fiefdoms, but it looks like German for fire, change final vowel, or start with French fire and add on.

12:42 pm

fe 5 fe + last vowel + first vowel + consonant

12:43 pm

Thanks Vicuna & ARB - wasn't looking to go up... That's me all done! :)

12:45 pm

Congrats, Bugzy! Nice trillium, by the way.

12:45 pm

Hooray Bugzy****

12:48 pm

can anyone help me with the 1st 3 in's?

12:50 pm

Thanks :) I love trilliums - my yard's too sunny for them, but my neighbor was saying that his are just beginning to bloom... True sign of warm weather!!

12:51 pm

cifopa, I don't have the 1st one but the nxt 2 are " as parents, we try to in**** good values in our children." and it's plural

12:51 pm

clifopa - in***-red vision

12:51 pm

1st in - first 5 letters of (I think) opposite of ultraviolet

12:52 pm

The first in 5/16 is a kind of special red light . The 2nd in 6/18 is in + a word for not moving without the last letter. The 3rd 7/28 is the present tense of that 2nd word

12:52 pm

TY, di88

12:52 pm

thank you thank you. i have been struggling with those in's.

12:55 pm

anyone have the second fe 5/16?

12:55 pm

how about the first fe 5/16 too?

12:56 pm

2nd fe5/16 - high-spirited, minus the sometimes vowel on the end

12:57 pm

1st fe5/16 - fencing move

12:57 pm

the first fe 5/16 = as a verb, to make a pretense of, as a noun, a fake blow

12:58 pm

TY Bugzy!!!

1:00 pm

YW :)

1:00 pm

ty x 2 only 2 words to go: ga 4/6 and gl 5/26

1:00 pm

Hi all -- just popping up to say that I am a little nervous -- I only have 47 to go and I haven't found any of the 7's yet -- Don't bother to clue me in -- I have to go and can't even chat to acknowledge anyone :) (*Hugs for all*) and I will return!! ;D

1:00 pm

ga 4/6 = mobsters' slang for weapons

1:01 pm

ga 4/6 -- slang expression for the arms carried by gangsters

1:01 pm

gl 5/26 rhymes with the white c***** of Dover (singular)

1:02 pm

I have 3 to go: en 6/18 and 7/28 and the last si 4/4

1:02 pm

hi again -- that was perfect. one hour and got all the onions planted, and the six lettuce starts as well. 24 words left...

1:03 pm

en6/18 - to tangle up, ends with word for hard work. The 7 is present tense.

1:03 pm

en 6 en + to labor en 7 --the third person singular verb form

1:04 pm

ARB & Vicuna----many thanks!

1:04 pm

last si4 is probably what one does on a chair.

1:05 pm

Vicuna--again--thanks! I knew it was going to be embarassingly obvious.

1:06 pm

thanks clue-givers. i'm done! yippeeeeee!

1:06 pm

Thank you ARB. I was stuck on the last two in's, and I found your excellent clue at 12.52. I've finished at last

1:06 pm

YAY ExWren!

1:07 pm

Yay for cliff !

1:07 pm

Congrats, kateq. I find it's better to end on an obvious one than to spend forever struggling for the last word! :)

1:07 pm

YAY cliffopa!

1:07 pm

And more conratulations, for ExWren and cliff!

1:08 pm

I haven't really taken all day, I've been in from time to time, between the hairdresser and shopping etc.

1:08 pm

(Or conGratulations, of you prefer.)

1:08 pm

( or *If* you prefer... Oh, I give up!)

1:08 pm

ok, i'm back. and i'm finished with the grid. i am here for the clue asking

1:08 pm

WTG!!!!

1:09 pm

I don't mind how you say it Vicuna, thank you

1:09 pm

I need 5 more and then I can nap. PT?????

1:09 pm

**Hooray for all the finishers**

1:10 pm

and yay for ExWren too !

1:12 pm

Aside from having, a un** or two available in the apt. complex. I can't seem to see the other un's. Help, please.

1:12 pm

pt + 3rd vowel + a slang word for a female relative

1:12 pm

gramma- pt ends like a condition where you have chronic bad breath

1:12 pm

Hey ExWren, Congrats - and no re's today !!!!

1:13 pm

TY, ARB. 8)

1:13 pm

un 5 & 6- think shoes and laces

1:14 pm

abe79, can you smell my breath from there? I AM embarassed.

1:14 pm

the next 2 un's are what you do to shoelaces... the last 2 un's are prepositions

1:14 pm

un "I'll be waiting for you ..... then"

1:15 pm

gramma- LOL i had a friend who had the condition, and it was intense

1:15 pm

O.K.abe, I'm asking. I'm stuck on the li/4's. I have 2 in which the first letter after "li" is the second vowel; 3 in which it's an "n"; one in which it's an "s" and one in which it's a "t" --now I van't seem to find any using "o"--or am I up a tree?

1:16 pm

There are 4 li's of the first type you described.

1:17 pm

oops! Can't count--I have 3 where the third letter is the second vowel :just remembered the french one

1:17 pm

And 5 of the second type you described. There is another type inbetween your two types.

1:18 pm

Thanks, everybody. I'm going to lay my weary head down for a short snooze. I'll come back later and help if I can. ^_^ g'nite.

1:18 pm

OK - must get some (real) work done today. Happy Babbling, all! :-)

1:18 pm

Sorry recounted - there are 5 of the first type where the 3rd letter is the 2nd vowel

1:19 pm

hetty, do you have the li 4 that you find in the clothes dryer?

1:19 pm

hetty, there is an r and an f

1:20 pm

Yes m'dear, both in the dryer and on my list. But I've found the Shakespearean one. There must be one other lurking somewhere---

1:21 pm

Hetty, Do you have the plural?

1:22 pm

italian money? i had trouble with that one

1:22 pm

hetty, do you have the one that means "in place of"

1:22 pm

How about the li which is fibs

1:28 pm

All you wonderful helpers, thank you so much. Don't know, ex-Wren, why Im never seem to see the ones in the upper right hand corner. Astigmatism maybe. Anyway, I'm just off to empty my dryer before getting a lift downtown to face the lines at the grocery store- - - - I tell you no lies

1:28 pm

oooh -- hetty, wurds... ;-)

1:29 pm

naughty, naughty, Hetty,

1:31 pm

au6 and au7 is all that's left - related to au5?

1:32 pm

Oh I'm so sorry. Have I broken a rule? I thought we could use our words (wurds?) when it wasn't in the context of clue-giving. I am most contrite if I wrongly let my gratitude wash me away on a welter of worrrrds. . .

1:33 pm

lds, yes they are related. more 'endearing'

1:39 pm

Good day all! can I have a clue for the fe 5/18 please?

1:40 pm

in6/18 and 7/28? Thank you!

1:41 pm

endearing au4? Sorry, I can't see it!

1:41 pm

hi chic and harpjane! fe 5/18 is the scottish word for one who owns land...

1:42 pm

fe/5-18 has to do with Debussy's apres-midi. Or think Bambi

1:42 pm

in 6 and 7 were clued as something along the lines of "to place" values in children?

1:43 pm

au words think about your father's sister's title

1:43 pm

au 6 and 7 are related to au 4. longer forms of the word

1:44 pm

Hi Stid and thanx!

1:44 pm

ty stid!

1:45 pm

oops, now I can't see the difference betwen "e" and "a". Have to get my eyes tested. But alas, the "fe'" word has eluded me too, despite my Scots Grandmamma. Something to do with the feudal system I expect.

1:45 pm

hetty -- you are on the right track. first three letters of that system, then a vowel and a short hook letter...

1:48 pm

is lickety's list in alphabetical order? like hetty, my last 2 words are fe, and i am getting nowhere fast

1:49 pm

yes, Licket's list is in abc order...

is the o word from the upper right top "o" a compound word?

1:50 pm

st 5/10 anyone?

1:50 pm

72 - chooses

1:50 pm

Temple Owl, no -- just a simple word meaning "chooses to"

1:51 pm

one st 5/10 is the ti 4 with an s at the beginning

1:51 pm

Dear Stid, I hate to disappoint you, who are so very ready with marvellous clues, but my monkey has tried every combination pertaining to your suggested procedure in vain. Dinna fach thysen, I'll persevere

1:51 pm

the other st 5/10 is another name for the animal "ermine"

1:53 pm

ty stidmama the ermine did it! ty

1:53 pm

dun dun dun DONE!!!

1:54 pm

hetty - second month minus some consonants and last letter

1:54 pm

hetty, try this: fe + unside down n + first vowel + cons before s

1:58 pm

Ta Stid, you are a ruddy marvel. The thing is, the monkey used that thread and got the response "invalid" as with all the others. I swear. Anyway I and Kaurie now have a brand new word in our vocab . . Bless you

2:00 pm

my new word today is the gl 5... who knew?

2:02 pm

hee, sadly, i have that fe, it's the other 5 and 6 that elude me

2:03 pm

ok can't find the ni4/4 and ni 5/10 (the second ni )

2:04 pm

chic - ask the knights

2:04 pm

harpjane, did you get the in words - if not there is a very good clue at 12.52 from ARB

2:05 pm

ma5,6?

2:05 pm

kaurie -- the ones you want sound like what Victorian women did all the time -- spelled just a little differently. ain't it a shame ;-)

2:05 pm

LOL torgone, I was thinking the same thing. chic - start form the bottom n and think numbers

2:06 pm

ni4/4 and ni5/10 - number and its plural

2:06 pm

ma 5/16: pupa of insects that eat decaying matter... spelled with only one middle cons.

2:06 pm

chic - the last column in a mutiplication table

2:06 pm

stidmama, forever grateful, am done! and had no idea that was a word =)

2:06 pm

chic, six is afraid of seven b/c seven eight ni**

2:06 pm

im on a mexican radio. hi kids!

2:06 pm

okay, all -- been on for an hour, really must do something else for a while. see you this evening!

2:07 pm

YAY kaurie!

2:07 pm

2:08 pm

2:17 pm

2:19 pm

2:19 pm

Howdy again, everbody!

2:19 pm

2:32 pm

2:32 pm

verzeihung, boreetos; ich kann verstehen das nicht? :-/

2:35 pm

i want affluent to be in the grid.

2:35 pm

ewf4/7 - think of the opposite of 'rights' and take off the first letter

2:35 pm

BOREETOS IS THE BIG CHEEEEESE!!! HA!

2:35 pm

Oh I would love to learn Spanish. There are many people here in western mass from puerto rico. I've tried a little learning, but I lapse into French.

2:35 pm

candy...another words for newts

oh good, boreetos; then i don't feel quite so bad after all, for not understanding Spanish! ;-) hehe!

2:36 pm

thank you FMitch- and hand!

2:36 pm

Thanx everyone - some great clues!

2:36 pm

Cloudy....cool and getting ready to rain again....do I really live in CA?

2:36 pm

Je suis le grande fromage. (spelling?)

2:37 pm

what part of CA?

2:37 pm

y/w maj Hi Haz, you still around too!!!!

oui, je suis d'accord, boreetos.....vraimant! ;-)

2:37 pm

hello everyone...I finished this afternoon... so i just popped in to be a nuisance !!!

2:37 pm

About 45min from Lake Tahoe....

2:37 pm

good god mikey, you speak french as well?!

2:38 pm

aaahh....FMitch can you tell me what you do now please ?

2:38 pm

Hi Karys :)

2:38 pm

we americans suck. Most of us are terrible at English let alone any others. Whereas it seems most people in other countries are atleast bi-lingual.

2:38 pm

Hi karys!

2:39 pm

which direction from Tahoe?

mais oui, certainmant, boreetos; je suis Canadien, et je l'ai etudier a l'ecole depuis longtemps!

2:39 pm

Hi Schro :)

2:39 pm

hi karys! i didn't see you sneak in.

2:39 pm

hi Deutsch :)

2:40 pm

I only just got here boreetos...but I wanted affluent too !!

2:40 pm

darme un cerveza...to go with the pretzels

2:40 pm

mikey, I'm going to assume you said: "yup, exactly. I'm canadian, so its like the rule or something."

2:40 pm

Yes, FMitch I'm still here. I can claim to understand all the languages so far. Once the Japanese arrive, I'm stumped!

2:40 pm

West, on Hwy 50....

well, Boreetos; not sure if you read my Babble profile or not, but i was born and raised in Ontario, Canada.....to and by a German mother and British father.....mom's from Berlin here, and dad's from Harrow (London) Middlesex, England.....good mix there, hmm? :-P so you see, we had French in school; and mom taught me German along with English from the time i started learning to talk.....and i haven't shut up since, in any of the 3 languages! :-P

2:41 pm

si - yo pienso esta importente por un personne a aprender un otre lengue. Hi guys!!!!

2:41 pm

LOL Karys and happy smiley cat! I do lots of stuff basically outsourced small business support, anything from PA to telephony, training - a bit of a adiverse basket.

2:41 pm

SI!!! Mucho Cerveza!! Me gusto mucho!

2:41 pm

boreetas, the English are normally very bad at foreign languages, we think if we shout loud enough we will be understood!

lol, Hazel.....you and me both! :-P

2:41 pm

anyone have the in 6/18 or the in 7/28?

2:42 pm

give me a beer and where is the market...sigh...4 years of spanish and that's all I retained. What does that say about me???

2:42 pm

solamente cerveza para mi.

2:42 pm

Hi Dachef!!

i wholeheartedly agree, Dachef; that is very important, i say! ;-)

2:42 pm

FMitch so can I ask what the new client may want ?

2:42 pm

mikey, I read your profile when you first joined, as I do that with everyone. (I'm nosey), but I guess I forgot that part.

2:42 pm

Hi dachef!

2:43 pm

in6/18 - to promote a positive attribute in someone. in7 is the third person singular part of the verb.

2:43 pm

in6: to introduce, to teach

2:43 pm

2:43 pm

*thinks of a name for Babbletoberfest that's easier to type*

2:43 pm

mikey, I tried to read your yahoo profile, but it's all in German

2:44 pm

nice easy grid today - going down nicely with the beer and the footie on the tele. down to 14 words without the list, but am hitting the wall now!

2:44 pm

Hi chef....thought about you today...cooking Italian this Sat. for guests

lol; yes, ExWren.....which is why i thought it might keep boreetos busy for a while! :-P

2:45 pm

Karys - dont do Italian. Cant abide all those tomatoes, sleazy waiters, dodgy women and bad breath. Or is that the French?

2:45 pm

hi dachef, It is indeed importante, i wish I had realized that when I was in school. Here's an indepth look at what I remmeber from my first spanish class: 1. Me llamo Skot. 2. Los nuematicos esta en la automobile. 3. Donde esta el bano?

now i must stop chatting for a while, so i can *try* to finish this grid up here! :-P lol

2:45 pm

bit of both I think chef....but i'm none of those !!!

2:46 pm

Wash your mouth out Dachef!

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

2:59 pm

Hallo Mikey, wie geht's? I cannot callup your yahoo profile, tried twice, no luck

ja; es geht mir ganz gut, danke.....i don't know why you wouldn't be able to load that page, Inge? very strange :-/ ah well; you're not missing much anyhow! ;-)

3:00 pm

Was ich nicht weiss macht mich nicht heiss. I dont need to know, Mikey.

on sorry; and how are you today, Inge??? :-)

3:00 pm

help me please the SE/5 10 !!!!

3:01 pm

se5/10 adds a vowel to the preceding 'posted' se4/4

3:01 pm

se5/10 - what you do to a letter (past tense) + you in the first person.

3:01 pm

I am fine, finished this morning, and am just popping in. My penpal writes that few Germans observed April 20. In Berlin too???

*LAL* (lachend aus laut) Inge; i highly doubt it would do that anyhow! :-P at least i should hope not? :-/

3:01 pm

M3....se4 plus third vowel

oh? hmm; i observe every day, and everything.....but then i'm just observant, i am! ;-)

3:03 pm

my maternal au 4/5 shared his birthday, thats why I even remember.

3:04 pm

oh thanks peeps. now the st 5/12 my last one xx

3:04 pm

st5/12 begins a body part that gurgles when you are hungry

Please help ef 4,7 I have looked at all combos that = 7pts and I can't find this one?????? very, very, lost!!!!! Thanks

3:06 pm

HAZ many thanks. few all done xx

3:06 pm

ef4/7 - think of the opposite of 'rights' (as in direction) and take off the first letter

3:06 pm

Silent....baby newts ?

oh, i see, Inge.....well, seriously; i think it's a pity if people don't remember/observe that, it really is

3:07 pm

Well done, M3 - you can relax now!

3:07 pm

ef4 is a plural - add the letter that is the abbreviated form of a drink made with leaves.

3:07 pm

Haz of to see if the Suduko is an easy one lol

3:07 pm

Well Done M3 !!

3:08 pm

Tschuess. Mikey. Have to go. Daughter coming this weekend. Bis spaeter.

3:08 pm

So M3 is off to find some more torture...... Have a good time!

3:08 pm

3:08 pm

3:09 pm

3:10 pm

HAZ just looked it a HARD i have no chance lol bye everyone xxx happy wold Penguin day

3:11 pm

?? the TO 4.4 (and 5.10?) that is not work - thnx

3:11 pm

Bye M3 - that's what I like, a realistic view of the situation!

3:11 pm

yoohoo! did smaller leave?

3:12 pm

oh well done Haz...the tummy bit I always forget til I see the end result !!!

3:12 pm

The to4/4 and 5/10 - French for roof. If that is no help, then think of the Nike ad 'Just do **'

a photo shoot, Hazel? what was that for?

3:13 pm

lovely - thnx haz

3:14 pm

It wasn't really a 'photo shoot' as in taking photos of models. I'm involved with a local cancer charity and we were getting photographs taken to publicise a sponsored walk that is happening and also a presentation of a gift from a local firm.

3:14 pm

what'd he look like firefly? Was I right? :)

3:15 pm

yup - thnx Haz - needed them! Down to 6!

3:16 pm

You're inching closer, Dachef...

3:16 pm

ok - down to 4 now. Need one L. Anyone guess what Im missing?

3:17 pm

an li4 ? chef ?

3:17 pm

Which box does it come from?

3:18 pm

dach - a servant or old italian money?

3:18 pm

have 10xli4's and 4xli5's.........

3:19 pm

and its the bottom box........

3:19 pm

I cant get going on the IN words (which are probably the easiest) - any clues

3:19 pm

There's an li4 that uses just the letters in the bottom corner.

3:20 pm

its an li5 Dachef !!

3:20 pm

in5/16 - used as a prefix (think of a country's ***** structure)

3:21 pm

nope - got all these so far! The in words - try in***-red, or in + what you do when the muic stops when you play statues, minus the last letter (and plural)

3:21 pm

errrmmm..no it isn't !!!!

3:21 pm

evening all :) ...quick sprint through the Babble grid, hopefully...

oh, i see Hazel; didn't assume you were modelling, just didn't know what it was for, and was curious.....or nosey? :-)

3:22 pm

in6 and in 7 - to promote a sense of values is to in****

3:22 pm

One look at my photo would tell you that I wouldn't be modelling!!!

3:22 pm

evening all

3:23 pm

evening scatty :)

3:24 pm

do ppl have the ens?

3:24 pm

Dachf - have you got French for place, or the old English word meaning 'rather' or to prefer.

not necessarlily, Hazel; you could do catalogue modelling, probably.....and why not? what's wrong with your photo?

3:24 pm

Yes rolin - add a word that means to work in a laborious way.

3:25 pm

Could use a hand with ma5/16 and ma6/27. Are they a combo?

3:25 pm

I know isn't Haz pretty

3:25 pm

I know my limitations, Mikey!

3:26 pm

thankyou haz and dach. IS 4.6 then first two ST 4.6 and first ST 5.10 will see me out

3:26 pm

grant - yes the ma6 is the plural. Think of insects used as bait for fishing and take out one of the double consonants in the middle of the word. Ugh!

3:26 pm

hey Haz your my age I just noticed

3:27 pm

yup got all the li's suggested so far - I think. What was the servant clue?

3:27 pm

Grant - yes. Baby flies - yuk

hmm; i wonder about that, Hazel.....your photo is very nice, from what i can see! :-)

3:27 pm

is 4/6 - if you were saying the alphabet backwards - add the last two letters.

3:28 pm

shorty, glad to see YOU'VE dressed for the day.

3:28 pm

Shorty - could we be triplets with Faeriekae? Me palmed off on Irish gypsies?

3:28 pm

OMG LOL!!! Could be

and Hazel, everyday people of all ages are needed to model clothing for catalogues; no reason you couldn't do it if you wanted, i don't think.....not that you'd necessarily want to though, either! ;-)

3:29 pm

Thanks all for the help. St 4's are identical except for final letter.

3:29 pm

nut is that a twisted butt!!!!

3:30 pm

shorty, it's a human pretzel, with its head up its arse - aka me!

3:30 pm

hey nut:) ...just curious... what is happening in your icon... ?

3:30 pm

That's very kind of you, Mikey, but I think I'll just stick to what I'm doing. Besides, when would I get time to babble?

3:30 pm

St5- places where pigs live.

3:30 pm

too funny

3:31 pm

like it sherb, i search high and low for it, ironically, i found it low!

3:31 pm

Hello again...on my knees ...any clues for ne5,10 ?

lol, Hazel....too true! but i agree with shorty; you look very nice in your photo indeed! :-) and hey there, evanonut; i had that photo sent to me a while ago.....and then i saw a T-Shirt for sale in a joke shop one day, that reminded me of that photo.....but i don't know if i should share what was printed on that T-Shirt in here, really? :-P lol

3:32 pm

you can always be relied on, nut... ;)

3:32 pm

ne5/10 add third person form of verb to be (he **) then the letter that sounds like a beverage.

3:33 pm

Yay! I'm done! Hey there, nutster!

oh well, what the heck.....it said "I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I just can't stick my head that far up my ass!" :-/ ok, now don't shoot me; i'm only the messenger!!! :-P

3:33 pm

whoo - hoo! DONE! No list! <looks smug>

3:33 pm

GRANT! thank you thank you thank you thank you. I've been looking for that for ages! *starts singing and dancing* I'm done! I'm done! *mad, hysteridal laughing*

3:33 pm

oh thank you, Haz Only 1 more to go...

3:34 pm

3:36 pm

3:37 pm

SMALLS! been looking for ya - got a description on that termite guy for ya...

3:37 pm

p's - pf4 - the sound of air escaping, no vowels. pr4 - all vowels. pt6 - hoop letter + shortened version of female sibling.

3:37 pm

3:37 pm

bbll, have to start dinner... Thanks for the dance, dachef!

3:38 pm

hey firefly! i don't know now, angela made me nervous!!!

3:38 pm

<grabs rose from Deutsch and swings past evanonut, but after looking at her icon decides not to give it to her for fear of where she will put it>

3:38 pm

think Chris Farley crossed with Philip Seymour Hoffman... sexxxy! LOL

3:38 pm

3:56 pm

karys - hes been going past for two weeks? Either you have a very wide house, or hes driving verrrrrry slowly.

bbnaz - think of another word for "belly" (Evanonut is currently trying to see hers from the inside) and remove the last two letters!

hey chic!

4:20 pm

Yes Temple?

4:21 pm

4:21 pm

4:22 pm

Temple you said hello twice to me just a little while ago; I was the phone briefly :-)

4:22 pm

Hi TO

4:23 pm

4:28 pm

dl88 - yup, same as always.

4:28 pm

verrrrry clever, Cliff!!! I'd have got there (with the help of Google) eventually! : )

4:28 pm

very appropriate cliff - more appropriate than me i daresay! i think i'm actually being rather innapropriate, what with dachef violating me and all.

4:29 pm

yours is pretty funny, Nut

4:29 pm

good to see some things never change, hopefully evanonut can see the light at the end of the .....tunnel?

4:29 pm

4:31 pm

the other in's - think of in and what you make moonshine with.

4:31 pm

in6 - to in**** morals into children. Pluralise for the 7. Evanonut - to be fair, I think that is sh** diet.

4:32 pm

Looking for clues to the last st/4's. I have the one that looks like an unfinished weasel, and the one that sounds ike someone with a cold calling a halt to traffic; the other 2, please?

4:32 pm

TYVM DL, Clif and Chef. Now I can go and pick up my girls without googly eyes!

4:32 pm

maybe i could find one at an antique store. i haven't seen turntables in any of the stores i've been in.

4:33 pm

i could write a book called 'the sh** diet' dachef, would you buy it?

cliff: they have made a comeback. big dan fan, but mine were on *gasp* 8 tracks! LOL!

4:34 pm

hetty - the only other st4's are the one you do to someone with a knife, and a male deer. Try going to the t on the bottom row.

4:34 pm

evanonut - my diet is pretty sh** already!!!!

4:35 pm

temple - one of my son's high school friends actually collects 8 tracks! he made me listen to them one time. i'd rather listen to someone run their fingernails down a chalkboard.

4:35 pm

4:35 pm

* chapter one * deciding if the sh** diet is right for you.

4:36 pm

Babs - it has a strange fascination...

4:36 pm

* chapter two * the sh** your in, how to decide which sh** is right for you.

4:36 pm

hello kids. evanonut, I like your icon's take on pretzel.

4:37 pm

I could open a restaurant serving sh** food. Hold on, I do that already...... LOL!

4:37 pm

now i'm not saying i agree with this, but my brother has a mug that says "know why vegetarians are so thin? because health food tastes like sh**"

4:37 pm

LOL!! everybody's talking sh** today! :D

hi boreetos! glad i got to see you - i'm just leaving...

4:37 pm

* chapter three * eating out, why dachef is the place to go

4:38 pm

I think all vegetarians should be made to wear a t-shirt saying "Im a vegetarian". That way, we would all know who it was that farted.

4:38 pm

*chapter four* How to get your sh** diet back on track after a night out at Dachef's

4:38 pm

lol dachef and nut! this is better than anything on tv.

4:39 pm

* chapter four * sh** selection. good sh** vs. bad sh**

4:39 pm

dachef, you really are a chef? that's awesome. I didn'tknow that. Heck, it took me several weeks to realize your name should be pronounced Duh-Chef, instead of Dashef

4:39 pm

hi boreetos... you arrived just in time to bring some class to the conversation...

4:39 pm

bye TO! class huh? I'll see what i can do...

4:39 pm

Dachef, you have sounded the trumpets for me. For the second time only in two weeks of trying I have actually finished and I owe it to you. You have opened my poor old eyes to thge bottom line, just as earlier a pal opened them to the top line. Hope I can return the favour sometime. Meanwhile, just call me middling.

4:43 pm

*chapter 9 * excerpts from How to Make Friends and Influence People

4:43 pm

as an amazing coincidence, if any of you guys in the uk have Paramount Comedy channel, the episode of South Park is on where they count how many times they say "sh**" on the program, and so far they're up to 82.

4:44 pm

ooooh! I'll put the tv on!! thanks dachef!

4:44 pm

dachef - well sh**, i think we can top that sh**

4:44 pm

Gladly, Dachef. But the Gulf Islands (north of your San Juans) are rather along way for you to come, and since it seems you are a chef and all I seem to run to is franks and beans, I'd feel intimidated. I'm about to cook our frugal supper.How would it be if I posted the recipe among thge others on BabAnon?

4:45 pm

94

4:46 pm

ok, bed time for me... I look forward to seeing this book when it's finished... sounds like top material... or top shelf material... nite all :)

Oops, Dachef, I've just realized you're from the land of the leek and the daffodil, my favourite of all British countries and where our firstborn was unexpectedly announced on a climb up Snowdon. Well, I made it home to Brum in time, but only just. It's an even longer way from there to here, so my offer of a recipe still stands. Anything to take your mind off that other stuff

5:02 pm

My goodness. Just tuned into the chat log ... Say, Hetty, I wanted to tell you that when I first saw your moniker I assumed it was a clever play on words, i.e. "heady clues" being given in Babble. Then I read your response to Mikey and had to chuckle.

5:02 pm

and my last addition to the cocktail menu: the sh** brick 1 oz tequila, 1 oz everclear, 1 bottle smirnoff ice and a splash of dr. pepper

nut, my recipe for Worcestorshire sandwich (it's brown): Two slices whole wheat bread, Worcestorshire Sauce. Dir: Apply sauce to one of the slices of bread, but not so much as to make it soggy Place other slice of bread on top. Gently press slices together to distribute sauce. Enjoy.

tomato juice with lots of worcester sauce, burns throat a bit if you are not used to it

5:08 pm

rss - the theme for today was pretzels????? Silly me, I thought it was sh**. Well thats how the concersation went anyway. Anyway, it was all evanonuts fault for having her head up her ar4/4.

5:09 pm

Today is International Pretzel Day, believe it or not. I was tempted to go to our local Pretzelmaker at the mall for a pretzel dog, but then I looked up the nutritional content ... silly me.

5:15 pm

Never mind...

5:15 pm

nut - was searching for such a recipe, too gross to print. but i found an interesting site: http://www.poopreport.com

5:15 pm

li5/10 - plural of one of the li4's. li + 2nd vowel + consonant + plural.

5:15 pm

i'm off have a headache coming on so off to bed i think, see you all tomorrow

5:16 pm

5:16 pm

on that subject, probably the grossest site Ive ever seen - www.ratemypoo.com - it does exactly what it says on the tin.

5:16 pm

Good Night Scatty - take an asprin or something before you go to bed. Sweet dreams :)

HEY, I looked up the day on YAHOO and tomorrow is "Hug an Australian" day and the 29th is "ZIPPER Day"

5:18 pm

dachef, i think i'm going to throw up now!

5:18 pm

don't be afraid nut. it's a warm and friendly site. i wonder if scatty knows scat is another word for sh**? i wonder if we gave scatty the headache.

5:19 pm

dachef!!!!!!! omg - that is disgusting!!!

5:20 pm

Rumplestiltskin, the "National Zipper Day" is the 29th, but the place I found the International day said it was the 26th. Maybe there was a boo-boo

I'll go look again. I need to know what icon to use.

5:21 pm

hey, if you rate the pooh, another one comes up!

5:21 pm

dont blame me - i didnt make the site!!!! I guess you need a particular sense of humour to enjoy that one. Or an enema. Or a brain transplant.

5:22 pm

Actually, Babbler prints a list of upcoming themes, and they are suggestions made by all of us. So if we have zipper day tomorrow or the 29th it's okay either way :)

5:22 pm

let's not change things, too difficult to spread the word

5:22 pm

EUW - Dachef, that was foul!! *cringe* :s

5:22 pm

nut - did you notice that each image has a title?

5:23 pm

sure did, since i'm on a poo diet, i guess i should study them...

5:24 pm

I could swap tomorrows and the 29th's theme over??

5:24 pm

do you suppose the green ones are better for you?

5:26 pm

well, i think i'm going to go cuddle with the hubster before he decides to fall asleep. he can't stay up much past 7:30. see y'all later :)

5:26 pm

nite cliff - thnx for the recipes earlier!

5:27 pm

I want to have a day when we each take an icon from a word in the grid. Today I would have a picture of Bambi. Someone else might have a picture of Caesar's clothing. Then our icons would also be clues!

5:28 pm

What a great idea, harpjane!

5:28 pm

hmmm. most of us on the West Coast feel the same way about East Coast bosses! :-) there's a big culture difference, but good supervisors will at least attempt to adjust! Will hope for a good resolution to this for you and your co-workers.

Leslie Ann, hope you unwind before tomorrow

10:07 pm

I am beginning to think that the Babble home server needs to be upgraded to better handle all the new players from recent days

10:07 pm

YAY featherbee!

10:08 pm

its server, or the connections between servers...

10:10 pm

When I was at work I got my first ever "Oops! Babble could not connect to its home server message" which also had a NaN+ hours left message for time left :)

10:12 pm

any hints for the se5/10?

10:13 pm

se 5/10: those who know are se***ent

10:13 pm

se 5 builds off the the se 4 just before

10:15 pm

10:41 pm

How about a clue for the last au (not the relatives)

10:42 pm

all of the au words are "related"

10:44 pm

Of course they are - why didn't I see it? ty stidmama

10:55 pm

YAY cybernan!

11:01 pm

Clue for ri4/10 please?

11:04 pm

ri 4/10: a musical term in jazz... ri + double tall consonant

mk use the same letter twice

11:10 pm

Good evening, everyone!

11:10 pm

Ty - if it were a snake I'd be bitten right now. How about fe5/18? the last one.

11:11 pm

fe 5/18: that scottish land-owning word (yet again): french for "fire" + you "to be" - e

sounds like passing out only spelled with an e

11:11 pm

hi knutmeg! ***Liv*** how's your mom?

11:13 pm

Mom is not so hot. She saw her doctor's physical therapist today (the doc is on vacation) and the PT admitted her to the hospital. They need to get her pain under control and get some more detailed pictures of her back.

11:13 pm

So. did we decide to keep zippers for tomorrow?

11:14 pm

oh no! poor jaianniah! will you be able to talk to her tomorrow?

11:14 pm

harpjane, I am assuming so...

11:14 pm

hi, i need clues for en (both) and pt. thanks!

11:15 pm

I didn't try to post that four times. Honest!

11:15 pm

en + to4 word meaning "work"; and the plural (of course)

11:16 pm

it only showed up once here... :-)

11:16 pm

pt--sounds like a disease where you are allergic to old army boats!

11:16 pm

I've talked to her already. She's settling in okay. THey've got her some stronger meds and she got a bunch of sleep today. Tests tomorrow, fun, fun!

11:16 pm

en+to4, then plural

11:16 pm

pt ends like the word that means bad breath halit****

11:18 pm

knutmeg, when you speak with her again, please tell her she is in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sad this has happened... :-(

11:18 pm

hi all! Ack! 42 words to go, might need a little help. :)

11:18 pm

kristinc -- standing bye... but gotta warn you the typos are increasing the later it gets!

11:19 pm

thanks stid (don't stay up for me btw)

11:20 pm

Thank you, Stid, I will tell her. I don't think I'm going to stick around for the flip (Liv and I have an early day tomorrow), but I can give hints for the next few minutes if anyone needs some. :-)

11:20 pm

don't worry about me -- tomorrow I don't have to go anywhere so can loll about like the princess I was supposed to be... ;-)

11:21 pm

first three fe's? fe 5/16, fe 6/27 (if not related) and fe 5/16

11:21 pm

all hail the princess knut-pass my well wishes on as well...what a bummer!

11:22 pm

thanks, stidmama. these words are very foreign to me. i have a couple more to go. the 1st ST 5/10, se5, li4 (one of the last 3), & in5. oh, ab5 as well.

11:22 pm

fe 5 and 6 (plural) are fencing terms... sound like to feel woozy like you're about to pass out...

11:22 pm

st 5/10 st + first two letters of very first word today...

11:23 pm

se 5: I think it has to do with "knowing" -- people and some animals are se***ent beings (which is why I try to eat vegetarian)

11:23 pm

st5/10 add a common plural ending if there is the sometimes vowel. (change to * and add **)

11:24 pm

Is there a more beautiful phrase than "you have 0 word(s) left to find?" I think not. !!

11:24 pm

SE 5: Add a vowel to the 4/4

11:24 pm

I also need the second to5/10.

11:24 pm

hooray MaryMary!

11:25 pm

ab5= a + what you call heating water over a certain temperature so it rolls with bubbles

11:25 pm

Thanks Kris~

11:25 pm

li 4: italian money? or the stuff you pull out of a dryer screen? or the thing that tells you what you need to buy (shopping li**) or the anagram of the previous... or what writing paper has on it without the 'e'

11:25 pm

second fe 5/16? anyone?

11:25 pm

btw, those were from memory, not in abc order...

11:25 pm

to 5/10 (2nd): plural of the 4/4

11:26 pm

kristin- thanks I'll tell her. fe5/16 the second: add the third vowel and then the abbr of saint
