I knew you had it in you...

12:03 am

;-) hope I didn't get you too damp when I jumped in....

12:03 am

just a little misty

12:03 am

18 words and already slowing...hmmm

12:04 am

I only have 12...

12:05 am

I'm slowing at 18 as well

12:05 am

heh, I must start faster and finish wayyyyy slower. 25 so far

12:05 am

rane

12:05 am

lots of word/words/worded

12:06 am

12:06 am

38 words now, all short

12:06 am

12:06 am

my best so far is 6 letters

12:07 am

Clues are up! Enjoy

12:07 am

12:07 am

thanks lickety, my hero!

12:07 am

sueq, how are you doing?

12:08 am

thanks Lickety!

12:08 am

thanks lickety!

12:09 am

damn gassy dogs. ew.

Noproblemo - I've got my clue creator working beautifully now - cut it down from 10mins to under 1 min!

12:09 am

thank you lickety for all you do in making this game more manageable

12:10 am

Between you and the vaunted BrandyJack, my babbling skills are manifold!

And it can handle words up to 28 letters in size!

12:10 am

46, how about you wassup?

12:10 am

looks like the game can only handle 13

12:10 am

57

yeah dr_god said he hasn't seen a 13 letter word yet

12:11 am

72

12:12 am

heh, only 38 here

12:12 am

whoa stid! 63 now

12:13 am

54 here

12:14 am

morning all

12:14 am

morning sprite!

12:14 am

up to 75 now... but slowing.........

12:14 am

up to 75 now... but slowing.........

12:14 am

morning sprite, been a long time

12:14 am

evening sprite!

12:14 am

(((sorry))) sorry....

12:15 am

onyx, it sure is! Nice grid today?

12:15 am

hey now...slimer should be valid.

12:15 am

slimes

12:15 am

Kick - i just had the same thought

12:15 am

ok one, my screen blinks too much tho

12:15 am

Good evening all!

12:16 am

hi nan!

12:16 am

229 --- too big for me on this format -- will skip and wait for a smaller one --- good luck.

12:16 am

left

12:16 am

okay, stalled out. going for Lickety's list.. brb

12:18 am

got the list

12:18 am

later nan! (course, you could stick around and just visit)

12:19 am

anyone having problems? i keep getting the message - word couldn't be added

12:20 am

limer should also be valid...to lime something is reasonable (builder's lime, if not the fruit)

12:20 am

I just got that.

12:20 am

mine is just S L O W

12:20 am

yeah, I had to reload the page

12:21 am

I am getting "the message" too.,, and having problems adding words to my list.

12:21 am

it's probably just really busy right now. usually gets better within 30 min or so after the flip

12:21 am

I think a lot of people are here, all adding words that they are finding.

12:21 am

Ok, so I wasn't the only one.

12:22 am

thanks, I will go slower

Could be general internet issues - somewhere on the path to the server.

12:22 am

mitt

12:22 am

oops

12:22 am

thanks joey!

12:22 am

yw

12:25 am

hmmmm... the plural of men (mens) isn't accepted.... not a problem with the server stalling either. Maybe I'm goofy. I'm up way past my bedtime.

12:26 am

I mean possessive not plural

12:26 am

no, it never takes it. i don't know why either

12:26 am

possessives dont' work...

lodestar - mens is not in the enable dictionary

12:26 am

'men' is already plural. I suggested to Dr_G to make the cursor jump back to the Add Word window after posting a message in the log, but he says that is counter-intuitive.

12:27 am

oh...

12:27 am

Well, that would explain it! Thanks

12:27 am

I just wish I could click on the letters

12:27 am

possessives must have an apostrophe, right?

drG knows about that one - probably slip it in soon

12:27 am

except for a few pronouns, sprite

12:28 am

note

12:28 am

rats! sorry

12:29 am

Looks like my intuition is more of the kind we babblers share, because we all keep posting words in the log after posting messages in the log...

12:30 am

It is a problem for sure. I saw it often in the last puzzle.

12:30 am

rems

12:30 am

anyone have the 9 yet?

12:31 am

g'nite all. I'm making too many mistakes!

12:31 am

lodestar is on a roll

12:33 am

good night lodestar, but don't leave on our account! LOL

12:33 am

yeah lodestar...we WELCOME your mistakes... :)

12:37 am

It's not you, lodestar, it is the site. I posted my suggestion to Dr_God once more, hope he will reconsider.

12:38 am

crap, I guess latin isn't accepted ;)

12:39 am

Kickstart, some words are. Others aren't. Welcome to the dark mysteries of the enable dictionary ;)

12:39 am

I figured 'diem' was common enough

12:39 am

kickstart, it seems to include medical and botanical terms that most people would consider latin

12:39 am

Like in carpe diem. I would agree. Enable doesn't, however. :)

12:40 am

where is diem in the puzzle?

12:40 am

Yeah, it's not actually there.

12:40 am

Would have to be spelled deim in this grid.

12:40 am

hehe...

12:41 am

yeah, but I tried anyway ;)

12:41 am

sue, you still there? got the list?

12:41 am

Hey, that is good babble technique. I always try anything I see, think I see, wish I could see or hope is in there somewhere. Along with anything remotely likely to be a word. And it works ;)

12:42 am

AHA! so that's your secret! you monkeytype real fast...LOL

12:42 am

what's odd is it didn't say "diem does not exist in the puzzle" It said it wasn't in the dictionary.

12:42 am

and here we-all thought you were just really brilliant... ;-)

12:43 am

sleeky, i've noticed that on the new server it does that sometimes

12:43 am

I just cannot see the three other j words. :(

12:43 am

Now you've got me right, stidmama :) Monkeytyping away and among the rubbish some good stuff arises...

12:43 am

kickstart, change the vowel in the one you just used

12:44 am

organ should be in the grid

12:44 am

yeah, i'm here, one more word and i MUST go nighty night. I have to get up at 6:30 for church, singing tomorrow

12:44 am

fran: or oranges!

12:44 am

Ornith...maybe you think I have a different one :)

12:44 am

hehe

12:44 am

I agree!

12:44 am

was hoping you did so I could ask for a clue

12:44 am

that's how I play word games in Spanish and German LOL! good way to learn new vocabulary...

12:44 am

well then, farewell. see you at 4 tomorrow!

12:44 am

Nope, the one you used in your post was close, Kick.

12:45 am

ornith: I have the equivalent of 'joke'

12:45 am

easier in spanish, stidmama, but in german that has to be hard!

12:45 am

same here kickstart

12:45 am

good night SueQ, enjoy the service!

12:45 am

but there's only one vowel next to j

12:46 am

I've found that French helps a lot.

12:46 am

Avaneko, almost any romance language helps.

12:46 am

Avenko: 9 years of high school french and I can't speak it

12:46 am

Another J is airplane + not off.

12:46 am

err...not just high school

12:46 am

and plural

12:46 am

kickstart - don't get too hung up on vowels. ;-)

12:47 am

Yeah. I'm not fluent either.

12:48 am

and yet another one is J + long time.

12:48 am

that's all of em, sprite

12:49 am

Awesome, got all 4 now

12:49 am

...three of which are not in the dictionary

12:49 am

I'm still short one.

12:49 am

I have the one in the dict.

12:49 am

gr9/72

12:50 am

lol earbox. the 6 is the plural of the 5 and that last clue was the other 4

12:50 am

wtg mrP :)

12:50 am

I have that.

12:51 am

Hi Sprite!!

12:51 am

Meric, ornith.

12:51 am

gran9?

12:51 am

ok, I have 2 of the an4/4s, and monkeytyping is getting me nowhere on the other ans or the as. anyone?

12:51 am

Merci, even.

12:51 am

I have "against" and "picnic bugs"

12:52 am

Kick, that is giving away a lot of letters of one word...

12:52 am

Think of emo people. They have a lot of an***

12:53 am

an plus second vowel plus snake

12:53 am

huh, must have missed that monkeytyping

12:53 am

thanks guys

12:54 am

li 7/44!

12:54 am

how about the as?

12:54 am

What you do to a drink

12:54 am

Or mixing even

12:55 am

Avenko: murder it.

12:55 am

Suck it down gladly, then order a second.

12:55 am

;)

12:55 am

lol

12:55 am

which one is that the clue for?

12:55 am

and then order one for wassup, who forgot her wallet

12:55 am

That's what I did last night.

12:55 am

the as

12:55 am

What's yer poison?

12:56 am

huh, not getting anywhere on that line of clues...

12:56 am

Martini, ashaken, not as... :)

12:56 am

Hah!

12:56 am

12:58 am

12:58 am

Too early in the morning for me. At 8 am I prefer coffee :)

12:58 am

oh, me too. it's 11 pm here. Saturday night and I'm babbling alone in the dark...sad.

12:59 am

1:06 am

1:07 am

you can no longer compete in the Babble Olympics in Bejing

1:27 am

For the er: think of the old hardware store without the n.

1:27 am

right now, nothing because this site has everything on it. in a week or two the stats panel is going away for those who haven't gone pro. you also get to have a profile with an icon

1:28 am

freckle

1:28 am

still not seeing it, avaneko (may never have heard of that store, lol)

1:30 am

Ornith, it's an anagram for "not in motion" or "sleep"

1:30 am

The last 3 letters come right after another in the alphabet.

1:31 am

ah, thank you. was looking at the wrong area

1:32 am

1:50 am

sorry, kate.

1:50 am

it's limecat!

1:51 am

Oh, found a beautiful Ra7/40 - 8/55 combo. Jazz style(s)

1:53 am

Gosh there are a lot of fi's.

1:53 am

yeah, but they're mostly common words

1:54 am

(still missing about 5 of the longer ones myself, but only one of the rest is weird/archaic)

1:54 am

Sprite - they were beauties thanks

1:54 am

Ah okay.

1:54 am

I was in need of a new stewie griffin icon. refresh if you wish to see him

1:55 am

gr 9/72 = gr 6/24 and a group of males

1:55 am

he's squished, but still funny

Sprite, those ra's are nice!

1:56 am

ne hints for the e words guys?

1:56 am

ef is newts

1:57 am

The leader of an Arab nation is an em**

1:57 am

em = mid east potentate(s)

1:57 am

For the bigger Fs, think of movies. Where they are taken, people making them. Another one is most solid.

1:57 am

and lasers em** light

1:57 am

em+ to send out (and plural)

1:57 am

sprite, those are the long ones I have

1:58 am

I'm too tired for thinking. Time for bed. See you tomorrow.

1:58 am

wait, one of them wasn't, thanks

1:58 am

There are no other big Fs, sorry :)

1:58 am

well, there's a 6 I don't have

1:58 am

also, for the other big fs, think hard like a mattress and go from there

1:59 am

Do you guys have the french word for son? for fi4?

1:59 am

Strawberry ...... forever?

1:59 am

fils

1:59 am

oops

1:59 am

Lol, join the club, Ornith.

2:00 am

any hints on ra6/18?

2:00 am

any hints on ra6/18?

2:00 am

i'm a liar! i said i was going to bed, but i keep finding more words!

2:00 am

I think I'm still missing the last 5/16

2:00 am

The other F6 is singular for moviemakers.

2:00 am

I think I'm still missing the last 5/16

2:02 am

got all the other fis now, though, thanks

2:02 am

I think the last F5/16 isn't the last.

2:03 am

cute

2:03 am

LOL Sprite

2:03 am

Oh mrP, I have H6 what your cat is wearing!

2:04 am

the fi 4/10? have all the others...

2:04 am

exor674, hint on ra6/18: it's in a diagonal--with one exception in the middle

2:04 am

kate, a feudal domain

2:04 am

Kateq, rhymes with Li4.

2:05 am

TY Sprite and Ornith--always obvious once someone points it out

2:06 am

Don't we know that feeling, lol.

2:06 am

how about ga6?

2:07 am

Males that fart?

2:07 am

lol

2:08 am

there has to be one rude word per puzzle doesn't there?

Sprite - Such language ;-)

2:08 am

yay, only 100 words left

2:08 am

speaking of farts...my dogs have been making my eyes water!

2:08 am

Soooooo sorry ;)

2:08 am

heh, dogfarts are the worst

Oh wassup - that's a smell I didn't want to remember

2:08 am

hey, if it can be a word in the grid (and it has) it is acceptable... :)

2:09 am

2 boxers. need I say more?

Wassup - you wouldn't like to see some of the words that are allowed

2:09 am

i know, there have been a few that i was shocked about.

2:10 am

=]

Actually - I could provide a list! But I'd be kicked out of the country!

2:10 am

I still think some words should be banned from babble. And then I don't mean words like fart.

2:10 am

nah, just your town...

2:10 am

you can't say [bleep] on the babble screen?

2:11 am

it took the sh word the other day. there was one though about a month ago that had me worried.

2:11 am

I am pretty sure we have had words that were accepted in the grid and wordlist, but not in the chat, lol.

2:11 am

yeah, maybe my rule should be banned...

2:11 am

this bleep bleepin bleep game is bleepin annoyin me!!!

2:11 am

this bleep bleepin bleep game is bleepin annoyin me!!!

2:12 am

this bleep bleepin bleep game is bleepin annoyin me!!!

2:12 am

bleep

2:12 am

this bleep bleepin bleep game is bleepin annoyin me!!!

2:12 am

this bleep bleepin bleep game is bleepin annoyin me!!!

2:12 am

heard you the first time

With all these men in the puzzle, I wonder why hitmen isn't in the dictionary.

2:12 am

whoa!

2:12 am

whoa

2:12 am

whoa how did i do that

2:12 am

it isn't???

Freckle... you broke babble!!!

2:12 am

good call summer!

2:12 am

True, SummerBreeze. Now that is a normal word.

2:12 am

lol

2:13 am

how about he6? (I have one of the 4/5s and it's plural, but not the other)

I've tried 3 times and it just won't change it's mind.:/

2:14 am

er, the first he6

2:14 am

not the limecat one

2:14 am

Past tense of another He4.

2:14 am

Summer: but the elevator ones work.

2:15 am

And the ones in torn up clothes.

2:15 am

de5/12 hints?

2:15 am

looks like it's the he4 I don't have, no way to make the past tense of the ones I do

2:15 am

that's pretty weird - all these compounds except the ones people actually use

2:16 am

think WWII salute as verb

2:16 am

Think of the hitler greeting for that He4. And for the De5/12, it rhymes with this He4.

2:16 am

The Nazis he**** Hitler

2:16 am

I have that one...

2:16 am

past tense it then :)

2:16 am

oh! I was making it with the wrong e

boo!

2:17 am

nice timing

2:17 am

ok, it's really my bedtime now.

2:17 am

Hi there Mikey ;)

2:17 am

Lol.

2:17 am

night everyone, hi and bye mikey

2:17 am

Night Night

2:18 am

Wassup says she's going, but we heard her say that before...

Maybe they're prejudiced against poor innocent hitmen?

2:18 am

ok, so I'm missing the other he 4/5 5/12 pair then

hello, Sprite! :-)

2:18 am

i know, and i'm really going this time... and she logs off

2:18 am

Even titmen are allowed.

2:19 am

The other He pair is those that inherit.

huh, Sprite? :-o

2:19 am

thanks

lol :)

2:19 am

it'll take lots of thingmen, but not hitmen, mikey

2:19 am

Mikey: just commenting on 'hitmen' not being valid, while 'titmen' is ( in grids that allow that word, of course, not this one)

oh, really? how strange! :-P

2:20 am

But I must admit, I take a titman over a hitman any day.

2:20 am

HA!

what will, Ornith?

lol, Sprite; so would i.....so would i!!! ;-)

2:21 am

the dictionary

2:21 am

The enable dictionary works in mysterious ways.

2:21 am

I want rifle.

2:21 am

good morning everyone:)

oh; i see, Ornith! i'm not awake :-/

2:21 am

Avaneko, you are in style with the hitmen ;)

2:22 am

Morning jean!

2:22 am

I am, aren't I.

2:22 am

Do we all have the Ti pair ~~~ ?

2:22 am

maybe that's why they aren't here... no rifles

2:23 am

Lol. Maybe.

2:23 am

I dunno sprite... I have several ti pairs

2:23 am

I could imagine a hitman feeling a bit handicapped without rifle.

2:23 am

I mean the ~ one, Ornith.

2:23 am

ohhhh right. stupid me

2:25 am

Those were my last Ts, had a hard time finding them, that's why I posted a clue. Though you all probably had them all along :)

2:25 am

nope, I am missing several ts

2:25 am

rather annoying in the tis, as I can't even tell exactly which ones I don't have

2:26 am

im only missin 4 t's

2:26 am

Okay. I'm off. Night everyone!

2:27 am

2:27 am

ttyl

2:27 am

2:27 am

2:27 am

2:27 am

Not with a grid like this.

2:28 am

2:28 am

2:28 am

My bad, Ornith, it is. The 4/4 is more like women watching your kids.

2:48 am

got it monkeytyping just now :P

2:48 am

got it

2:49 am

got it too, kept trying to go the other direction!

2:49 am

At least 4-letter words can always be found monkeytyping. I still am a 7 short. No way I will monkeytype that one!

2:50 am

let's see, what else is in small enough groups to even ask for clues on (too many ti's!)...

2:50 am

before I left, I refreshed. I only have 27 to go. have never had that happen before. now I am really going

2:50 am

bye joey

2:50 am

Good job, joey!

2:50 am

ok. I have so 4/6 but not the other three sos

2:50 am

thanks all.

2:51 am

actually, I have the other so4 too :)

2:51 am

so4/4 male offspring with an extra letter?

2:51 am

so just so 5 and so 6 now

2:52 am

go go monkeytyping!

2:52 am

The 6 is related to the R8.

2:52 am

The other is handy under water.

2:52 am

thanks!

2:53 am

O my... I am getting fireworks! And I do feel I deserve them today! :)

2:53 am

grats sprite!

2:53 am

tr 5/10 and the first tr 5/12?

2:53 am

Hurrah for Sprite!

2:53 am

yay sprite!

Hurray sprite

2:54 am

tr5/12 tr*** and tr** the 5/10 is related

2:54 am

If you haven't found them yet, Ornith, you haven't tr... hard enough.

2:54 am

another hint for the re8?

2:55 am

thanks sprite

2:55 am

hmm, I'm missing a t? but I have all t(whatever)'s on the list checked off

2:55 am

more looking the wrong way

2:55 am

Re8: strong and deep in tone.

2:55 am

TYVM!

2:56 am

good hint sprite

2:56 am

bah, everything else I need at least 4 in one group of starting letters. oh well.

2:56 am

Though I realise now my clue has got another word in it... sorry ;)

2:56 am

can i get a clue for the 9 letter word? just the starting two letter would be fine.

2:57 am

Gr9, Fran.

2:57 am

the nine is a gr

2:57 am

hmm. hi7?

2:58 am

thanks that will help

2:59 am

Hi7 = past tense of Hi6/21, 2nd spelling.

2:59 am

I don't have the hi6s, heh

2:59 am

clue for hi 6/21 please

3:00 am

got the gr9, what exactly do they do?

3:00 am

write gr6s, I think, fran?

3:00 am

Sounds asif they give you things!!!!!!!!!!

3:01 am

makes sense

3:02 am

what about sa 7 or te 7?

3:03 am

i need both of those also!

3:03 am

Yeah, I'm just asking for hints on the ones I can even be specific enough to ask at this point

3:03 am

The Hi6 words rhyme with a session of exercise, drill, or practice, usually private, in preparation for a public performance. They are alternate spellings of each other.

3:04 am

Te7 : renters

3:04 am

sa7 is a Persian musical instrument (plural form)

3:05 am

Sry guys, gtg, can't stay for more hints. Just got telephone call that my father-in-law has died. And my husband is away today, without cell phone. I have a problem to solve :(

3:06 am

does anyone have a list of the 7's?

6:23 am

3 more TIs and I'm done

6:24 am

de 7/36 - plural of 6/24 - sounds like taking citrus out of something

6:25 am

can anyone help with the an5 word? I'm sure it must be right under my nose but I can't find it.

6:25 am

Thanks fran! What a strange word.

6:26 am

thanks fran!

6:26 am

And how can you get to previous entries on the chat log? I can't get any further than where the blue drag-down line goes to.

6:26 am

hi 7/36 - past tense of 6/21 - sounds like a girl's winter sport implement

6:26 am

an=anxiety or stress.....

6:27 am

hydra-think worry and fear

6:27 am

an5 think teenagers

6:27 am

all good clues

6:28 am

hydra, there's a button above the chat log

6:28 am

Why didn't I see that! Thanks, Eva and dbridges.

6:28 am

Oh, just found button as well. Forgive my idiocy, folks!

6:28 am

fran-another one to add to my bizarre babble vocabulary!

6:28 am

li7/44 - guys in elevators?

6:29 am

thanks fran

6:29 am

you're kidding. Our little guys with elevator shoes.

6:30 am

na 7/28 - bad things, letters run from top of grid to the bottom

6:31 am

Any further hints for that hi7/36?

6:31 am

ra 7/40 - type of music, hello my ra----- gal

6:31 am

fi/7 -- those behind the camera

6:31 am

have that one fran.....this is very, vvery helpful, since I can't go back in the log as I used to, to find these clues.

6:32 am

Still missing 2 7's. Have the ones you just gave, plus the 3 fi's.

6:33 am

sa 7/28 - an indian instrument, plural of 6/18 - I found this one by googling indian instruments and trying variations in spelling, wasn't easy

6:34 am

can i have another clue for the na 7 please?

6:34 am

movieman, fran's clue works if you stick with it. think alt spelling of fem possessive + winter sporting equipment.

6:34 am

te 7/28, plural of 6/18 - renter(s)

6:34 am

does anyone have clues for the j's?

6:34 am

Eva te7/28 renters

6:35 am

that's all the 7s since you have the 3 fi ones

6:35 am

bex --- na7 - plural of a -y adj.; think yucky

This is my second puzzle, but I didn't finish yesterday's :(

6:36 am

thanks a lot fran!! Don't have the indian instrument yet but will go searching

6:36 am

bex horribles

6:36 am

eva, that one kind of winds around the grid

6:37 am

eva, do you have the last two ti 4/4s and the last ti 5/10?

6:38 am

scratch that, i mean the last ti 4/4, the last ti 6/21 and the last ti 5/10

6:39 am

thanks for the clues just got the na 7

6:40 am

found the last ti 4/4 by monkey typing

6:41 am

ti5/10 - what you can have on kitchen or bathroom walls

6:41 am

the last ti 5/10 is pretty rough -- either that or i've forgotten my SAT vocabulary =P

6:41 am

Fran-I haven't looked at any of the lists yet, so don't know the order of things. the only ti6/21 I have so far is the plural of the thing you use to make sure your cake in the oven doesn't cook for too long.

6:41 am

had that one, but i just found the last two and i'm done!!

6:41 am

congrats!

6:42 am

well done fran

6:42 am

great!!!TA DA for fran!

6:42 am

thanks! I can give clues for another half an hour and then I have to sleep, it's 1:45 am here.

6:42 am

on to the 6's.

6:43 am

Any further hints for the indian musical instrument?

6:43 am

4:45 am here; but i'm writing a paper... at least I was supposed to be

6:43 am

oops. keep forgetting that I'm not home and am using my friend's phone line, so had better sign off for now.

6:43 am

12.43 pm here

6:43 am

movieman, I googled indianmusical instruments and the third listing or so had a comprehensive list of all of them. I found it there.

6:45 am

dbridges, the last 3 ti words are all related. Find ti 4/4 and you'll get the 6/21 and the 5/10. Never heard of the word, but it sounds like a word for spinning around, without the w.

6:46 am

ooh. i had that one, but i completely overlooked the relation. thanks!

6:46 am

what does the musical instrument start with?

6:47 am

I'm still having problems with that indian musical instrument......

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING everyone. Cloudy here in Kansas, looks like rain. Thanks, Dr_God for the Fireworks info.

6:48 am

movieman what does the indian instrument start with?

6:48 am

indian musical instrument sa7/28 is the plural. 6/18 is singular. In the googled sites I think it's spelled with eer, but in the grid it's ir

6:50 am

Just got it, but in the sites I checked out, it was spelt with "oor"....

6:51 am

solving it was combination of research and monkey typing for sure!

6:51 am

Anyone care to help me with the 9 now?

6:51 am

gr 9/72 - someone who gives out gr5/14s

it won't accept nano, not sure if that's a word or just a prefix...

6:52 am

gr 5/14 in verb form means to give

6:52 am

ty, franny......

6:52 am

Can someone please tell me what the numbers in th stats mean?

6:53 am

letters/ points

6:53 am

tile stats tell you how many words originate from that tile

6:54 am

there's a box for each tile on the grid, first number tells you how many you've already guessed out of the total

6:55 am

yw, movieman

6:55 am

Thank you, all -- I think I understand.

6:56 am

Well, it's bedtime for me, good luck everyone

I can't find this blessed Indian musical instrument - sa7?

6:57 am

Good morning everyone (or afternoon, if applicable)! How is everyone today?

6:57 am

Fran, I've know gr5/14 but for the life of me I can't make someone who gives them out (unless university is the secret word). help?

good night FranMag

6:57 am

uh oh. perhaps too late

6:57 am

'Night, Franny....

6:57 am

gnight

6:57 am

what are title stats?

6:58 am

dbridges, look for a three letter word that means males and add that to the plural of gr 5/14

tile stats say how many words you've found that originate from that tile/how many words total that originate from that tile

6:58 am

dbridges - the 9 is the plural of the gr5+adult males....

6:59 am

oh you're kidding me. thank everyone, i feel dump =\

6:59 am

dumb, even.

Got it...but more through trial and error than anything else.

I now have 3 of the 10 sevens...I feel like such a moron (I know, where can you find one this time of the afternoon boom boom)

7:02 am

matty do u have the na 7?

Nope - care to pass ona clue ;)?

7:03 am

good morning in babble-land

7:04 am

In the tile stats, for H it says 2/19. I found held (6)and hire (5) -- which only adds to 11; what am I not doing right??

7:04 am

if someone if being horrible you could say they were being na*** but if there was more than 1 person they might be na*****

7:04 am

Good morning, evanonut!

7:04 am

the second number is how many words there are to be formed on that letter

Got it - thanks Bex!

7:05 am

when people gilve clues like gr 5/14, then it's letters/points. on the actual tile stats its words done/ words total

7:06 am

(((jera))) - hiya buddy

7:08 am

How are you today, evanonut? I am still recovering from my daughter's birthday party yesterday!

7:08 am

I can't believe hitmen isn't a word.

7:08 am

ouch - how olds the daugher jera (if i disappear, just changeing icon)

7:09 am

The big 1-0, it was a blast. They set up the tent & camped out in the backyard!

7:09 am

oh man! that's near teenage!

7:10 am

I know, I'm getting scared!

7:10 am

looks like we still gotta refresh to see our new i cons

7:11 am

Yes, that confused me at first... I almost asked, but figured refreshing cures so many ills, I'd just do that...

7:11 am

i'm sure she'll be a model teenaged daughter - so, how s this grid today

7:12 am

evanonut Like the icon

7:12 am

NOt too bad at first, but the second half seems tricky. Pretty normal, I guess! I'm at 140 with no list, took me about an hour, if that helps gauge

I haven't yet upgraded, so whilst I have the tile count, I don't get the te7/14 and all that stuff (I made that bit)

7:13 am

thankyou frances - former jav thrower her good gage jera, means i'll finish with about 1/3 of the words

7:14 am

Of course, I will be slowing down due to the recently added 4-year-old awake factor... he cried so hard last night, wanted to sleep outside with the girls!

7:14 am

poor kid, make him a tent in the living room!

I'm failing...with 111 words left. sigh

7:17 am

He was so exhausted (one big reason for not allowing it) he just keeled over on the couch beside me.

7:18 am

I think I'll send him out to wake the girls about 9... heh, heh, heh...

7:18 am

first se4 is elusive. help? thanks!

7:18 am

matt: learning by doing! jera: sinister!

7:19 am

sorry angel, only up to twelve

7:21 am

I only have 2 se4's no idea if they are first... but one is partial & the other rhymes with respected gentlemen (yes, si*) but second vowel + s

7:22 am

I have those Jera, thanks..I'm looking for an se4/7

7:23 am

I will do the same, Angelsong.. haven't broken out the list yet...

7:23 am

se4/7

7:23 am

se + no **'s ands or buts

7:24 am

sorry - keep forgetting about the way to enter something into chat

7:24 am

Thanks, macuser... I also found a se5/8 in my hunt!

7:24 am

thankks, macuser..was looking at the wrong S.

7:24 am

yw :)

7:24 am

Me too Angels song, but that's how I found the 5!

7:24 am

It's all good at this point...

7:25 am

in this new Babble setup, how do we view earlier chat postings?

7:25 am

My son is sitting in a milkcrate, with another one over him... looks like he's in a cage... so funny!

Oooh - I know that one. It's the little box in the upper right hand corner of the chat box (next to the speech bubble)

7:26 am

une, thelittle calculator in the top right of chat

7:26 am

oh, ok, thanks!

Any more from this side of the pond here? (Britain)

7:26 am

me!!!!

7:27 am

but you may not be able to see the entire chat log. Dr. G is aware of the issue.

Hurrah! though I claim both flags - born and raised in New York...married an Englishman. Someone had to (boom boom)

7:28 am

Do you have dual citizenship, matty? Pleased to meet you, btw!

My daughter does...I have the forms...but that's as far as I got - though I've been here 18 years!

7:29 am

managed to get 125 words while lurking - although you can't truly lurk anymore since people can see who is online :)

7:29 am

I'm curious because I've been researching citizenship/immigration laws recently, because of the hoopla over here about the Mexican illegals

Never mind, I figured it out... much simpler with not having to be approved!

What kind of mac are you using? I have a Mac Mini.

7:32 am

but doesn't the post office close on sunday? i'm sure my brother in law doesn't work on sunday.

7:33 am

cliffy could be a politician

7:33 am

did i say sunday or monday?

7:33 am

iMac here, wizard

7:33 am

i actually was a politician.

Cool. Is it one of the new intel iMacs?

I have one of the Js - can anyone help with the rest? At least how many letters? Anything?

7:34 am

sorry, cliffy, thought you said today, not monday, these words are so small

7:34 am

no, not yet, wizard

7:34 am

i should really put on my glasses!

7:34 am

cliff Great kitty pic! :)

7:34 am

well i was wondering nut. my keyboard (wireless) hasn't been the same since last nite. kitten knocked it on the floor and batteries came out

7:34 am

je5/20 and plural je6/33

7:35 am

thanks macuser. if you go to my profile is it bigger?

7:35 am

yes, adorable!

7:35 am

cliff that is a great shot - did you take it?

7:36 am

yes macuser. i've taken a zillion pics of the new baby. i just can't stand to watch him be so cute without capturing it all.

7:36 am

hey cliffy, i'm so honored...you mentioned me in your profile!

7:36 am

*looks sadly at her lack of any J words*

7:37 am

yes i did nut. i like yahoo im much better than aim.

7:37 am

je4/9 to joke

Ohhh - thanks - got those two - one more to get (I got the obvious jokey one)

7:37 am

Got the je4!

7:37 am

yes, yahoo does have that superior something

AOL bites.

7:38 am

je4/9 (first one)--just delete the middle letter in je5/20

7:38 am

but the important thing is you are always making me laugh ms. nutty. i like it when people make me laugh.

7:38 am

The je5 is not obvious to me... will stare at grid a bit...

I prefer Google Talk for IM

I used...a crossword solver. I am evil, I tell you. Any clues on the final J?

7:38 am

probably cause i like it when people laugh silly girl

7:39 am

je5 is French for token, like subway token

7:39 am

I have 2 je4's now! Don't know French for subway token...

7:39 am

my husband can't figure out what i'm laughing at when i'm in my studio/office and he is watching cnn.

7:40 am

it's been in the grid several times before :-)

Is it? Oh. But can anyone give me a clue for the remaining j? I've got JE4/9, je5/20 and je6/33

7:40 am

french token, la coin!

This is only the second time I've played...

7:40 am

first 3 letters are "a very fast plane"

7:40 am

*looks sad because jenga, a great game, is not in the grid*

7:40 am

cnn makes me sad and angry. and bored. i like babble much better. always something new instead of the same old same old.

7:40 am

matty, i know, i was answering Jera

7:40 am

cliffy = o

7:41 am

oops, hands on wrong keys

7:41 am

That did it Unea, thanks!

I'm watching Stargate SG1...

7:41 am

great!

7:41 am

jera: i know! =( i was a bit disappointed too

7:41 am

about jenga i mean -_-

7:41 am

I was a much better player before my hands started shaking so much...

7:42 am

was going to say, i'm driven to babble by the tv's constant sports news status. i consider myself and enlightened woman, love sprots actually. but can't stand to sit and watch a bunch of retired jocks trying to be heard over each other.

7:42 am

jera, i have a 9 year old niece who is unbeaten in jenga. i swear she has magic powers.

je..

7:42 am

nut - why else would they have invented the mute button?

7:43 am

My daughter loves it too, she just turned 10...

7:43 am

There are 5 sleeping tweenies in a tent in my back yard...

7:43 am

hubby is keeper of the remote and smoosher of the la z boy, better to come back here.

7:44 am

jera, send the 4 year old to wake them now!

Help...the J word I don't have... I have joker, token and tokens

7:44 am

15 more minutes, evano...

7:44 am

je + opp of off

7:44 am

my hubby doesn't like confrontation, so i can always coerce him out of the remote - if i want to.

7:45 am

jera is too kind

7:45 am

I know evano, it's one of my few faults... ;>

Thanks - and it means what exactly?!

7:45 am

No definition, matty!

7:45 am

oh but cliffy, i don't really want the tv that bad, we have vod, so i can just bop one whenever he's not and watch

7:46 am

What is vod??

7:46 am

video on demand, i can watch whatevers on my premium channels whenever i want

7:47 am

Gwyd is very happy playing with clay... not quite ready to rumble yet...

7:47 am

Cool, evano!

7:47 am

me likee - gonna grab a yogurt

7:47 am

i do it mainly to get him to stop watching cnn. i get so tired of people arguing and the same stories over and over and over

7:47 am

We have TiVo, that's as fancy as we get...

7:48 am

I very rarely watch TV news, cliff

7:48 am

good for you jera.

7:48 am

Most of my news I get on-line... I prefer reading but it doesn't clutter up the place...

*peeks in*

7:49 am

*attacks Mikey with a big hug*

Guten Tag, Mikey! Wie geht's?

7:56 am

7:56 am

Don't give up, matty! Did you check out the links?

7:57 am

anung meron dito?

7:57 am

mike, just put up a picture from work, that's a sport

7:57 am

I seem to be missing a ti5 between the ti for spat and the one for floor covering.

7:57 am

Mikey - the theme is sports today, but I've just got my own personal Celebrities Birthdays theme going on.....

7:58 am

movieman

7:58 am

cause he's movie man - see, it fits!

Yah - I found the list of word first leters, second letters and so forth...but still stuck at the moment. Weep.

7:58 am

((((((((((Frances!))))))))))

7:58 am

Who is that in your icon, movieman? Or are we supposed to guess?

7:58 am

Which one are you stuck on, matty?

7:59 am

I could tell you, Jera, but I think it'd be much more fun for you to guess.....

7:59 am

movieman Gary Cooper

7:59 am

Lickety's list is very nice as you can type in what you already have... that often helps you think of others that are close but you hadn't seen

7:59 am

Movieman, is it Gary Cooper? (tiny, tiny on my 'puter)

7:59 am

Layne - Well done!!!!!

7:59 am

Click the bio symbol to see the pics bigger

7:59 am

8:00 am

hey...is faerie in the house???

8:00 am

Ta

oh; i see, movieman.....well, ballet is as athletic an activity as it gets, although artistic as well.....so, i suppose just having my own photo as my icon is appropriate, after all! ;-) lol

8:00 am

I just got fed up with looking for specific icons all the time, so now I just go into the imdb, go into the birthdays/deaths/marriages list, and choose a particular celeb....

8:02 am

I've only seen one... prolly any one will be impressive!

8:02 am

theme icon hunting is one of my joys!

anyhow, it would be pointless; the icon pics in here are far too small, so it wouldn't ve very visible this way!

8:02 am

I love looking for icons...

ach; make that 'wouldn't be' :-P

8:03 am

Lolly, a common verb that means to give off or send out . . . a radio station ---- a signal.

8:03 am

Yeah but people could click on the bio & see it better... I'm sure it would be appreciated! :>

8:03 am

8:05 am

cheers guys, got 3 now!! only 8 more 2 get! didnt get the chieftain 1 tho!

8:05 am

i think its funny, gives us all something to snicker at

8:05 am

I only said it because a newbie might wonder why the heck their word didn't show up...

8:05 am

better than blurting words in chat =P

hey; paperdoll.....there's my zodiac sign beside your name! :-)

8:05 am

And covered by who I don't consider to be a serious pop artist - Will Young!!!!!

9:04 am

I had a little over 30% of the words, and I said, "Well, I go a little further and get a third of the words..."

Any clue on the er4/4 - I'm resorting to guessing

9:05 am

hi folks

9:05 am

any clues on the na/7

9:05 am

er4 rhymes with german sausage

9:05 am

it's a perennial Babble word :-)

9:06 am

baobab - try thinking video n******.....

Anyone know what it means? I got it...

9:06 am

Hello baobab!

9:06 am

matty, click on the question mark in the box next to the word

9:07 am

Althought it should be noted that sometimes that won't help...

9:07 am

movieman, i don't think i get your clue...

9:07 am

n7, horribles

9:08 am

Anyone seen Anj or Lola recently?

9:08 am

thanks boysaway!

de7/36 clues anyone?

9:08 am

Baobab - video n****** are extreme movies (usually horror) that were banned in Britain in the early 80s...

9:08 am

matty, add green fruit

9:08 am

na7 - hard to clue for: I suppose some Victorian mothers would have told their children to keep thier hands off their na7...?

NEver mind....

9:09 am

I want gnostic to be in the grid...

9:09 am

me too douglas! it's a puzzle tease

9:09 am

I tried that one every way around too, douglas - couldn't get anything from it

9:09 am

Amanda - the na7 isn't THAT hard to give clues for, after all, I managed it....

de 5/12

9:10 am

Neither termite nor smitten are in the grid...

9:11 am

9:11 am

I just grayed out the i on the bottom...woo-hoo!

9:11 am

Thanks - I should have got that, as I got the singular through trial and error. It's probably geting time to quit, before I go NUTS (67 words left)

9:12 am

TY, Boysaway.....D'OH!!!!!!!!!

9:13 am

the clue for na/7 can be very culturally specific

9:14 am

I guess Americans have never heard of video n****** then.......

9:14 am

nope, and probably most latin americans either

9:15 am

The word for beginning in yesterday's puzzle is in this one as well

9:15 am

I never have, movieman. How bout "Klaus Kinski's daughter's nickname x 2"

same principle, movieman

A person who works with American petrol

9:17 am

D'OH, again!!!!!!!!!

9:17 am

In the Jethro Tull song, "Bungle in the Jungle," The rivers are full of crocodile *******, and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass. He's a lover of life but a player of pawns --- yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn to light up His Jungle as play is resumed. The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

9:18 am

...so there's a word that rhymes with grass, we can assume?

Fabulous - a Tull fan - man after my own heart. "Sitting on a park bench...eyeing little girls with bad intent..." "I really don't mind if you sit this one out/your word's but a whisper, your deafness a SHOUT"

No, it doesn't rhyme with grass..not really, anyway. Plural of an adjective meaning unpleasant, or evil, or bad?

9:19 am

Not exactly, amandacath, Tull was taking poetic license

9:20 am

any help with the gr/9

9:20 am

baobab, Eastenders brother's male people

9:20 am

gr6/24 + male plural

li6?

9:21 am

simple enough... thanks!

9:21 am

plural of li5/12

9:21 am

green fruit + consonant

9:22 am

or males who tell falsehoods

Cheers!

9:23 am

9:24 am

9:24 am

Amanda - the other 8 is an re8/40.....

9:24 am

what a surprise...

9:25 am

The re9=strong and deep in tone.....

9:25 am

Sorry, I meant the re8....

9:25 am

could i get the clue for the ra/8 music one pls

9:25 am

excellent clue, movieman!

9:26 am

Like Michael Jackson's voice?

9:26 am

Alexander's ra***** Band

9:26 am

Ra8=a scrap of cloth+seconds, minutes, hours etc.....

9:26 am

lovely clues, thx

9:26 am

Got it! thx movieman! I've been waiting for that word to be in the grid, it's so often almost there

9:27 am

YW, Amanda....

9:27 am

The only drawback about this new site is that you can no longer lurk in the background pretending you're not here!

9:27 am

If someone can be disgruntled, can they be gruntled as well?

9:28 am

I'm all for it, Douglas!

The first fi 5/18 (not the one you do to your nails)

9:28 am

And how come someone can have a lack of gorm, but gorm itself isn't a word....

9:29 am

my friends and i fully beleive is shevelling a gruntling th world.

9:29 am

MATTY, MEADOW

9:29 am

So, technically, the whole world is gormless!!!!!

9:30 am

But if I said to someone "Ah, I'm feeling very gruntled today," meaning to say "Ah, I'm feeling very contented today," people might not understand what I'm trying to say without further explanation

9:30 am

has anybody got any clues for a .....

9:30 am

lol, movieman, beacuse no-one has any gorm!

Meadow? Beginning FI...? RE gruntled - we'll know! We can also be ept, ruth, kempt...

9:30 am

they'll learn, Douglas

9:30 am

But then that would be their problem and not yours, wouldn't it, Douglas?

9:31 am

Fi

9:31 am

sa/7 clue anyone?

9:31 am

Well, yes, but I'm generally opposed on principle to saying words that I know other people wouldn't understand...

9:32 am

The 1st he4/5 plz...

9:32 am

That makes it difficult to talk to alot of people, I'm afraid. Or at least to have fun while doing it... :)

9:33 am

When I think about the word "gruntled," I remember that Monty Python embarassment sketch where the announcer tests for embarassment by saying "Shoe...megaphone...grunties"

9:33 am

he 4/5 = employ

9:33 am

Movie, are you looking for the Hitler word?

9:33 am

So, Douglas. Does that mean you won't use any words of more than two syllables? I find that confuses most people....

9:35 am

yes, amanda, but now I'm stuck on the he6/4.....

9:35 am

s7, add an insect, third vowel and a consonant

9:35 am

he6/4 saluted Hitler

9:35 am

Sorry,. I meant the he6/24.....

fi 5 meadow

9:35 am

You have a point, brandyjack

9:36 am

I didn't expect the Hitler salute to be in the dictionary...

9:36 am

can't help you there, but we can look together

9:36 am

did you get the past tense of the Hitler salute?

9:36 am

Oh duh! he6/24 thing for your head

9:36 am

It's one of the reasons I hang out in here. Where else can you find so many people utterly confused and unable to see a simple 4 letter, single syllable word...... And willing to broadcast the fact....

9:37 am

it's not the nine letter words that we find last.....

9:37 am

Yes BJ,even when the word is staring you in the face!

9:37 am

need 2 more a's - got the insects, a + mixing, n the opposite/not word! ne more??

Please help, pretty please...F1 5 meaning, apparently, meadow

9:38 am

re a's did you get the french donkeys?

9:41 am

baobab - immature newts. That helps, huh!?!

9:41 am

OOps!

9:41 am

Plural of the terrestial life stage of a newt... "She turned me into a newt!" "A newt?"

9:41 am

"...I got better..."

9:41 am

I think that's all I've seen since Midnight Jacs......

9:42 am

Any help for my last j? I've got the casino ones and the funny one...

9:42 am

why can't there be words *i* use on a daily basis here, i never talk about immature newts... but thanks, did get the word!

9:42 am

Lolly, the word starts the same way as a word meaning fury, then add the abbreviation for street

9:42 am

I think I'd better stop skiving off here in the study and go and help Paul repaint the garden furniture!8(

9:42 am

it seems to be a common problem for those who toalk too much.... 8}

9:43 am

10:00 am

Thanks, baobab, that way my last n-word. The other is another word for grandmothers

10:01 am

It would seem that it is indeed a Babblet

10:01 am

a lucky habit i have i guess :)

10:01 am

10:02 am

Wait - are you talking about the an or the o? The an is a german word, the o isn't

derriere, you mean?

10:29 am

10:29 am

i need one more he/6, not the one that's the past tense of the fascist saluting

10:29 am

but it was a favorite of mine, that and canard

10:30 am

you'll want to know this when you have your actors come for the test - "voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir?"

10:30 am

evanonut, are you thinking "de rien"?

10:30 am

baobab - soldiers and football players wear them on their heads

10:30 am

yes yes! i know that one, hurshy, except it is a request, and i was thinking more of a requirement. baobab, i think you could be correct

10:30 am

baobab - you mean the thing you wear on your head?

anyone finding the site very slow ?

10:31 am

yes, got i t now

10:31 am

ok then nut - "VOUS! MAINTENANT!"

'de rien' is another way of saying it, besides 'il n'y a pas de quoi', sure

10:32 am

hi/7 please

'of nothing'.....think nothing of it

10:32 am

only to load 72 - then its good i can't translate hursh, but i'm thinking it sounds good.

10:32 am

de rien is less formal than il n'ya pas de quoi

10:32 am

unless you only want one at a time, nut

10:32 am

lol - yes, one at a time!

10:32 am

Danke fur die Hilfe, ich gehe.....

10:33 am

Auf Wiedersehen!!!!!!

10:33 am

ok then "TU! MAINTENANT!"

10:33 am

although i am invited to one of those "toy" parties tonight.

bis spaeter, Kinomann! ;-)

10:33 am

i'm also looking for the hi/6s and the hi/7

Does anyone have a Palm Pilot with wi-fi connection?

tschuess!

that would be 'TOI!' actually

10:34 am

yeah i couldn't think whether to use subject or object - thanks mikey

10:34 am

i a little peeved that "hitmen" is not considered a word

oh my, evanonut; a toy party, hmm?

10:35 am

me too but i knew that from another day

*faints with shock*

10:35 am

i doubt i could shock you mikey

10:35 am

So if the hi6's aren't hitmen (which I've attempted over and over, it still won't work) what are they?

10:35 am

i don't even want to know what a toy party is i think

oh no; *you* didn't, evanonut!

10:35 am

i need 'em too amanda

10:36 am

testing 123

10:36 am

that makes three of us

10:36 am

and i still need the hi/7 too

10:36 am

little upset though, left the invite at work, don't know the time or location - hurshy, think lewd and crass

10:36 am

i said i DON'T want to know. or do you mean the hi's?

10:37 am

and ... fun!

nut, 'TKF' :-P

10:37 am

er yes, the hi's hurshy, def the hi's

10:37 am

you don't even HAVE the hi's, do you nut?

10:38 am

fyi i have two, thank you very much :-)

10:38 am

HHHMMM......I want to know more about the toy party!!!! ;-)

10:38 am

don't go leading us on a wild hi chase

10:38 am

Got them, Hursh and Bao - no idea if they mean lewd, crass, and fun - sound yiddish to me

10:38 am

yeah but i mean the ones we're looking for, the 6's and the 7

10:38 am

10:38 am

10:47 am

I was wondering about that, evanonut, wasn't sure whether to be honored or just scared hen you jav'd me...

10:47 am

and of course it's another hi/4, time for some more monkey-typing

10:47 am

amazing shot, nut - moving target and all

10:47 am

oops, sorry hurshy, you were supposed to trap that between your arm and torso

10:48 am

just make it "look" like i javver stabbered you.

10:48 am

with my dying breath, i'd like to thank all the babblers, my cats, and, most important of all, NEVER, EVER

10:48 am

81 left, and i'm only working 12 more minutes for now

10:48 am

looks like Dr G isn't the only one in an upgrade frame of mind....our map site is upgrading also, which is why I couldn't access it this morning...

10:49 am

------> (pulls jav out of hurshy)

10:49 am

Jen are you on the map?

10:49 am

What map are you talking about? And TO, just my last be trip for a while... we are settling back in at home.

10:50 am

10:50 am

The falppr map, where we can put where we live!

10:50 am

it's screwed up at the moment...won't load right, but pls....try til you get it

10:50 am

Will come in very useful for the Babbler convention...

10:50 am

wouldn't want to drive up your funeral expenses hursh

10:50 am

Where do I find this map? I haven't explored the new stuff yet.

10:50 am

10:54 am

10:56 am

10:56 am

jen - it's a firefox bug - doc is working on it

10:56 am

*peeks in again*

10:58 am

these el 4/5 are killing me

10:58 am

10:58 am

*wonders where Mikey's jete picture is*

Jee - Try the people who record movies, singular and plural

10:59 am

10:59 am

Thanks Leigh...just found one using that first fi4 compounded.

11:01 am

sa6/7 combo, indian instrument and pl

11:02 am

thanks for those clues hershy--the te/ones were on the spot!

11:02 am

i'm still stuck on teh last fi/7, as soon as i get it i have to leave and go code data...

11:02 am

that leaves just one more 7 to find. hmmm...e, l, m, r, s, or t?

ty hurshy - i'm qutting soon, site dlow for me, and cannot see grid and char at the same time : /

11:03 am

11:03 am

thanks Hursy, don't I get 5 points today, for telling you that you needed the fi7?

11:03 am

oh, sorry to hear that temple :(

11:03 am

I'm saving them up for something big.

11:03 am

oh - we've sort of had to stop GWHIM... but here... 5 points!

fi 7 is the strongest.

11:03 am

why did you have to stop?

11:04 am

ahh, thanks leigh

11:04 am

well, didn't HAVE to, but choosing too bc i discovered it annoys a lot of people.

welcome

11:04 am

Hi. I'm stuck. Any clues for re 8/40?

11:04 am

Too bad they couldn't just ignore it...it was very helpful to me in finding odd words.

11:05 am

ok folks, time to go, i've frittered away far too many hours here today, coding awaits... maybe i'll get on late tonight and capture some of the last 62 on my list

11:05 am

Do you have the li7? I do not.

11:05 am

i can probably still help you find odd words, Jee, in one way or another :)

11:06 am

5 more points, jee! :)

11:06 am

hi, Mikey. Yes, I'm visiting my daughter in Victoria.I told her all about you (well, all I knew)and now I have to go. Talk to you again later .

11:06 am

I'm stumped. Does anyone have the Ti4/10?

11:06 am

ti4/10 another word for fight or spat

11:06 am

Minski - a little argument

11:06 am

a little spat

11:06 am

Fireworks for me!!! Anyone need anything?

11:07 am

yes amanda, looks like me and jee need an li7 clue

11:08 am

11:11 am

bye temple

11:11 am

Bye TO!

11:11 am

bye everyone! thanks for the clues!

11:11 am

bye baobab

oh, btw; don't know if all of you are aware of this yet, but if you re-upload your photos/images for your icon/avatar, you can have them display bigger in your bio pages.....the old site automatically resized them to tiny 60 x 60 pixel thumbnails, but this one doesn't.....it just displays them even a little smaller than that in the chat log, but they are much bigger now in the bio pages; not sure if they will display there to whatever size you upload, or if it's a maximum sizing of 200 x 200 pixels, but that is the size of the one i've uploaded, and it displays at that size there.....just thought you all might like to know that, anyhow! ;-)

yikes; sorry my post turned out so huge! :-/

11:13 am

getting a late start today! Hi babblers and buddies :)

11:13 am

wow..Mikey..quite a post..and its all greek to me..(puter illiterate)

hi there, lianakate!!! :-) lol; i'm sure i'll never finish this grid.....but having fun trying :-P

hmm; all i said was that you can upload a larger picture now, and it will display much bigger in your bio page, lianakate! ;-)

11:14 am

Hi All - back form my trip to Bath -relaxed,overfed & a head full of red wine!

11:14 am

11:14 am

11:14 am

Hi, snowy! Glad you had a wonderful time.

11:15 am

snowyowl - didn't get to speak to you after your hairdo? Did the blonde thing work out?

11:15 am

Hi Liana! Long time no see!

11:15 am

K...ty, hersh..{

11:15 am

sorry - phone. Anyone still asking for clues?

lol, lianakate; don't ask me.....i'm not even that far yet.....and still have 151 words left to find! :-/

11:16 am

i'm missing one e, amanda, can you tell me if there are any en's, ei's, es's, or et's?

hello snowy! hello lianakate - long time no see!

11:16 am

LOL Haz -It's what you might call an 'interesting' shade! My mum said 'oh yes -very nice' & then 'I prefer you darker'!

11:17 am

Hi TO!

11:17 am

OK. Done with the Ts. Working my way up on the Ss but need to take a break to get some housework done first. Later all. Thanks for the great clues for some ungettable words. Hasta La Pasta.

11:17 am

11:17 am

Well, at least you're not having to resort to headscarves!

11:17 am

BTW...all you Brits. Am reading an Eliz. George novel..and she uses GUSS..a lot..what is it?

11:18 am

yw - its another not-in-the-dic one, and it's also a german word, well the singular is

11:18 am

i found it already :)

11:18 am

I'm much relieved! The colouer is quite good actuallt but as I'm naturally dark - It's taking me a long time to go blonde!

11:19 am

can you tell me, are there any r words that use re as an actual prefix, as opposed to an integral part of the word?

11:19 am

I have no idea what GLISS is Liana unless it's a brand name.

11:19 am

hurshy, 2 re's...

11:20 am

Ooooooh...guss..used as a verb I believe..snowy

11:20 am

not gliss

snowyowl, hi! :-) i'm trying to make out what your icon is.....refer to the long message i just posted re: icons, a little further down the page, if it's still here? ja; i see it is.....for now; hurry.....lol; you can upload bigger pics now, and have them display much larger, in your bio page.....so then we might be able to read it? ;-)

11:20 am

Can't you "gussy" up... like get dressed up?

11:20 am

We must move in the wrong circles. I've never heard of the word either.

11:21 am

2 of them (the re's) might Hursh, I'm actually not sure...

11:21 am

if you mean a 5/6 combo, then no :)

11:21 am

i mean, sort of but not really :)

11:21 am

jen..yes..but i think its more like..uh,..absorbing..from the usage..I dunno. Will have to go read some more to make sure I have the word right.

11:21 am

but..thanks

11:22 am

actually, I am stupid... no, the 2 I was thinking of don't mean the do again... SORRY! :)

11:22 am

that's what I meant Hursh

11:22 am

Mikey - its my graffiti one from a few days back -its ancient graffiti from somewhere -I can't remeber where tho! I'm not at home and am using my sisters computer at the moment.

11:22 am

thanks jen and amanda :)

11:23 am

li7 clues anyone?

11:23 am

Hey guys, anyone have a clue for any of the 5 & 6 hi words? I have the one about getting a job, but am stumped after that

11:24 am

jen, what do you need?

11:24 am

guys in the elevator, Jen

11:24 am

jen - elevator operators

ja; actually 'Guss' has several different meanings in our language, some of which would be 'pour', 'shower', 'gush', etc.....'flush', 'deluge', that sort of thing; but it can also mean 'cast' or 'casting'.....as one would do in a mold, and also means 'cast' iron! :-)

11:24 am

thanks! Didn't think that would be a word.

11:25 am

Last me5/12 has me stumped... help?

11:25 am

add not daughter

11:25 am

jera, out of 51 words to go, 9 of them are me's... :)

11:25 am

11:25 am

me+ "male heir"

11:25 am

11:26 am

11:28 am

11:28 am

they don't take that, snowy

then the flag should appear automatically

11:28 am

sorry wassup plural - people who would kill for you!

11:28 am

thanks, will try now

11:28 am

I think the elevator clue word..is sooooooooo stupid..HAHAHAHA..

11:28 am

Hey! I just noticed my name is in the grid!! :)

11:28 am

any of the 5 & 6 words except for the one about a job

11:28 am

snowy - weird enable dictionary does NOT take assassins

11:29 am

oops ty for pointing that out hurshy - I would have been wondering where it was gone later! LOL

11:29 am

thanks anyway!

11:29 am

people who would KILL for you..yikes..Beyond my ken

11:29 am

Okay, I just say it... hitmen is not a valid word!!

11:29 am

11:31 am

by amandacath

11:31 am

my sons, only got it yesterday!!

11:31 am

(I only have one)

i know, Jera; how can that one not be valid? :-/

11:32 am

Later, amandacath!\

11:32 am

cats are so much easier than dogs. we have 2 dogs and they're ruining my life (ok, a little dramatic, but really)

11:32 am

Mysterious are the ways of the enable dictionary... who can understand it...?

11:32 am

Happy Sunday, all.

11:33 am

Greetings, Judi!

11:33 am

hi judi, love the icon

11:33 am

Hi Judi

hmm; i don't know, wassup.....any dogs we've had (our family) have been very good; very well trained, etc.....but cats? man; they go everywhere they shouldn't, and can't be taught not to.....i'm just glad mine is outside a lot, not wreaking so much havoc in our home here! :-P lol

11:33 am

Speaking of cute kitties... I was spring cleaning & found a box of kitty baby pictures... gotta scan them & use as icons...

11:34 am

my other cat doesn't seem to like this kitten but hopefully it will grow on her!

11:34 am

freckle - two have to do with movies

11:34 am

Mikey, I feel exactly the same way about dogs!

11:34 am

My cats are very well-behaved...

11:34 am

well, maybe we've been unlucky or you've been lucky... our cats were always so good. sure, they sat on the furniture and shed alot, but never had any accidents. our dogs are well trained and pretty good, they're just so stinkin' big!

11:34 am

ganerm

11:35 am

oops

11:35 am

mine are too - i think cats are like kids - if you bring them up right, they usually turn out well

11:35 am

monkeytyped in the chatterbox

11:35 am

Happens all the time, benda

11:35 am

try people who bring you fuel instead, benda

11:35 am

ITA, hurshy...

11:35 am

I'd like another cat but am having a hard job persuading my husband. We had 4 at one time but lost them all in 10 months- heartbreaking. Then we got 5 grandchildren!

11:36 am

yeah, but this time *I* did it...

11:36 am

Oh snowy, how terrible.

11:36 am

Cats - we adopted one and then last fall, we had one adopt us. Just showed up in the yard.

11:36 am

well...does anyone have a hint for ga 6/27? it's driving me crazy

11:37 am

benda - just posted it for you a min ago :)

11:37 am

okay, after numbing my brain looking for someone who would kill for me..Am out to get lunch..ty, all for the clues..they ARE appreciated.

11:37 am

heh..thanks hurshy

11:37 am

bye Liana - lovely to see you again!

11:38 am

man...now I feel *really* dumb (grin)

11:38 am

LOL Jera the grandchildren are lovely -but the cats are easier to feed!

11:38 am

down to one word! te 5/10 anyone?

11:38 am

brief

11:38 am

snowy..and you also....bye

11:38 am

the second fi7,44???????????

11:39 am

te5/10 to speak shortly to someone

11:39 am

the place where they fi4 the fi5

11:39 am

i'm looking for a picture of my dogs. should have been easy enough, but they're all with the kids!

hmm; i love dogs, and have always found them easier to live with than cats.....they learn what not to do, whereas a cat doesn't care, and only lives to please themselves; and i find dog a much better companion, 'cos they can go places and do more with you! :-) we have one here; Heinrich's tiny toy Yorkie, 'Fritz', and i'm getting one of my own again soon.....checking out breeders in the area, and what puppies might be available soon! :-)

ach; that was supposed to be 'where as' :-P

11:40 am

no, mikey, you had it right, actually.

11:40 am

te5/10 rhymes with the vehicle used to carry a dead person

11:40 am

I like dogs too - but other peoples!

11:40 am

many thanx It was there all aong, but I wasn't looking in the right place. Finished. Love the new fireworks thing

well, ja; but i'd intended to type 2 separate words, which also works, anyhow :-P

11:41 am

congrats tarajane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:41 am

I have three pomeranians, also known as pome-hooligans.

it's one word auf Deutsch, 'waehrend'

11:42 am

it's one word in english also, splitting it would be incorrect.

11:42 am

I must have extremely weird cats, or have some sort of special cat-attracting pheromones... I have never had an aloof cat!

but then how many English 2-word tems are one word in German? lol

11:42 am

mikey, perhaps i should have a yorkie! refresh to see my beasts

lol, wassup; maybe so.....might be much easier to manage! :-P

11:43 am

ok, maybe not. it didn't take!

ah, Boxers, wassup, ja; i had to open your bio page to see the photo big enough to make it out! ;-)

11:43 am

if you click on my profile you'll see them bigger

11:43 am

yeah, what you said

well no *wonder*.....lol; not a breed i'd probably have!

11:44 am

jera - i think people with aloof cats are more people who work all day - if you leave a cat alone a lot, i think it decides it doesn't need you and finds its own resources of entertainment, but if you spend time with them, they bond with you. also like people.

and 2 of them together? yikes; like bulls in a china shop, i imagine! ;-)

11:44 am

they are good dogs, just too big for our little house.we also have a 4 year old and a 5 year old (kids) Too busy!

11:44 am

Exactly, it's just a good thing they don't have tails!

lol, ja; your tables would be swept clean, though! ;-)

11:46 am

we had a rottweiler about 6 years ago. he was HUGE! He didn't have his tail docked, so it was like swinging a baseball bat around the house.

11:46 am

Maybe that's it, hurshy, I've always been a homebody

11:46 am

are there 18, or 19, t4's?

11:46 am

me too jera :)

11:47 am

The Sprite wants a dog & asked when she could have one. I told her when she's old enough to be totally responsible for it & leaving me out of it!

11:47 am

not me. I wish i was a homebody. i can never sit still. even now, i'm doing about 5 different things. folding laundry, chatting, babbling, drinking coffee, and i have cookies in the oven

11:48 am

jera, that would be when she's 18 and living on her own...

11:48 am

I multitask at home as well!

11:48 am

Probably wassup

ja; i don't go in for big stocky dogs like that, really.....i will probably get a collie, Doberman or Deutscherschaefferhund, though; but while they're also good sized dogs, they're very intelligent, alert, responsive, trainable dogs.....there are some/many breeds i know i could never live with! :-P i grew up with rough Collies and Dobermans, and they were wonderful dogs :-)

11:49 am

Hey wassup...what is your avatar?

11:50 am

Labs are great as long as you don't mind goofy! :)

11:50 am

And keep it off me when I come to visit! Dogs love smelling me prolly cuz I smell like cats!

11:50 am

stewie griffin from family guy is still showing up for me, but my dogs are in my profile. What are you seeing? :)

bendamalina; you can click on anyone's little pawn type icon to the right of their name to view their bio page, and then you'll see the avatar pic full size :-)

11:51 am

Some of the smaller dogs are cute (practically cats) but they also tend to be noisy. That would be dangerous for the dog if it were around me much...

11:51 am

LOL Jen - My son & his wife have just had a lab. If she grows into her paws they are in big trouble! She has completley cured the children of their fear of dogs tho'!

11:51 am

i think the smaller dogs have a lot more attitude too. our big dogs are silent!

11:52 am

ah, i guess it's the family guy thing

lol, Jen; the Labrador Retriever is one of the breeds i know i couldn't live with.....big, goofy and klutzy; any i've been around tend to knock things over and get in the way all the time, seeking attention and/or food constantly, it seems! :-P

11:52 am

oh, he's in a diaper. i love him. :)

11:52 am

it's small, so it looked a little like a character from a very cute japanese video game i like to play

11:52 am

We had a German Shepherd when I was a kid... best dog in the world (not that I'm biased)... he was a retired military dog & spookily well-trained. He'd sleep with a child but rip an attacker to shreds!

11:52 am

my lab is awesome with everyone and everything... except other dogs! I guess if that's the worst of him, then I can handle it.

11:53 am

jera, that's what i want.

11:53 am

Mikey, ours is actually LESS clumsy than our cat! LOL

11:53 am

ok looks like the map site is back up if anyone wants to add themselves

Can someone please help with the gr 9

11:53 am

hello!

11:53 am

union soldiers, leigh?

11:53 am

:P

11:53 am

whats up

oh sure, Jen; the labs i've met and know are very sweet natured, friendly dogs, and great with everyone and everything.....just too big and boisterous/klutzy for my liking, to have in our home.....but it's all personal preference, of course! :-)

11:54 am

my dogs are hilarious. i startled the puppy (she's 10 months, but bigger than her mom) this morning and she jumped over the couch.

11:54 am

gr9,72 is a killer, can anyone help?????????

wow, Jen; sounds like you have an exceptional lab, then? :-)

Not getting it. *eyes grid*

11:54 am

Yeah, Mikey, he's great. (except for the bad breath and stinky farts)!!

11:55 am

amen on that one jen

Oh, got it. =)

{{{all}}} I started the grid last night and got to 110 words before I gave up. Should I reach for Lickety's list?

12:35 pm

um i think she's using the wrong box again :)

12:35 pm

Sorry!

12:35 pm

well part of us, at least -- Tom and Grant are still offline!

12:35 pm

12:36 pm

re8/40, please?

12:36 pm

12:36 pm

12:37 pm

Florida's not in the grid... :-/ ???grid? no....

12:38 pm

My name is in the grid, maybe that's it. :)

12:38 pm

It was a family name Stidmama

12:38 pm

well, I'll try for a while more, but if I'm not done in the last hour. ;-)

12:38 pm

stidmama... it's really not such a bad one, i honestly don't think you need the list unless you have time crunch

12:39 pm

thanks hurshy and all -- and I see the word I typed. I will refer to him as my '11' for the remainder of the day

12:39 pm

DONE! And that little graphic that Dr_G added is really cool! :)

*needs na 7*

12:40 pm

*waiting for clues to appear magically in the log*

12:40 pm

12:40 pm

good morning, baobab -- back for more punishment?

12:40 pm

WTG JEN!!! Nice fireworks?

12:40 pm

congrats Jen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * puts cursor back in 'add word box*

gr9: take the gr6 and add males

12:41 pm

ah, that was my last n. thanks hursh

12:41 pm

12:42 pm

wouldn't 'firmen' mean to make something more firm? Not in dict.

12:42 pm

past tense the ti4/4 before it

12:42 pm

i think you would just use the word without the -en, kick

12:42 pm

ra7 scott joplin

thanks hurshy. i got your clue right as i was typing

12:43 pm

actually, kick, I thought firmen was the permission that used to be given for working on archaeological plots... guess I was wrong. :(

12:43 pm

hurshy, you sure that isn't ra6?

12:43 pm

ra7: Alexander's Ra... Band (then plural for the 8)

12:43 pm

1:23 pm

morning..could use some help with EL4.5 - can only find one of three

1:23 pm

1:24 pm

3:11 pm

I haven't changed it in a couple weeks... usually I only change them when they go dry! LOL but this year I put them out earlier than normal. Do you think they spoiled from lack of use?

just get a little bleach and clean them out with that. and of course rinse them very well after.

3:12 pm

thanks daisy! will go out and grab them in a while so they are dry before tomorrow. :-)

they'll love you for it, i'm sure

3:21 pm

cheers hurshy! legend!

3:21 pm

it was the team we hate the most so we weren't that bothered but their fans weren't happy at all :) At one point it looked like the game would be cancelled, then I wouldn't have been pleased with a 220 mile trip for nothing

3:26 pm

the sa 6/18 is like sa*** claus only change the last vowel and add a consonant. plural for the 7

3:26 pm

I'm not too sad, she needed a nap really bad, and the other babies are a *LOT* more mobile than she, so I don't have to worry about her as long as she is sleeping.

3:48 pm

Sorry, dont know what happenned there

3:48 pm

3:48 pm

3:49 pm

LeslieAnn, I couldn't comprehend your clue before Freckle bumped it and it takes forever for the log to load. I am stumped. :-(

3:49 pm

LeslieAnn, TY TY TY, and whilst I recognise it as a word I don't think it's a complete fish moment

3:49 pm

YAY Freckle!

3:49 pm

if you take the re off you'll have another....

3:50 pm

3:50 pm

See ya'll tomorrow.

4:17 pm

anyone got a clue for sa7,28

4:17 pm

I like the big boards usually' the words come easier. Lots of suffixes today and not many prefixes. That's my idea of a good grid!

4:17 pm

jet

4:18 pm

mybad i ment that to be on board

4:18 pm

4:19 pm

4:20 pm

santir

i think bunny is hooked on chat :D

LOL, yuuuup

4:20 pm

or not, harp.

4:20 pm

well, technically, I didn't say a word. I was using a colloquialism that also happend to be a word....(grasping for dignity, I am....)

maybe a liiiitle....

4:21 pm

i'm on your side of that one, harp :)

4:21 pm

thanks harb and bunny

heh heh heh...it's fun to give clues

4:22 pm

whatever. either way, I got one more word out of the deal!

4:22 pm

well, harp, to be honest, one of my boys is in the grid today, and I used his name without even thinking earlier!

4:23 pm

so did i stidmama, i said yay for him :)

oo, it's almost time for This American Life!

4:24 pm

so do you think dr g will adjust this board so that words don't inadvertantly crop up? lord knows i do it more than i mean too

4:24 pm

who got a clue for hi7,36

well I am stumped... I have 166 words left ... I dont have any of the O words and its making me nuts ... well more so than usual. any clues to the 3 O word's?

4:24 pm

*that's going to drive harp crazy because he's not online anymore*

i think that dr g wants all of the users to adjust their actions instead, bbnaz

4:24 pm

AN o word is A number

4:25 pm

mimred - just count

4:25 pm

on5,10=on+sun***-sun

4:25 pm

bbnaz - he has no plans to, because he feels that people will get used to it. if that doesn't happen, who knows? maybe he will change his mind.

on4: plural of the first numeral

4:26 pm

I'm getting used to it, besides I don't mind if I get a few accidental clues...

4:26 pm

anyone got a clue for hi7,36?

4:26 pm

I prefer to use the mouse as little as possible so the new board makes one less mouse click for me!

hi7/36 is the past tense of hi6/21

4:27 pm

which one o.0?

4:27 pm

BAH! there is no RE 8,40

4:50 pm

4:50 pm

4:52 pm

gr9--people who write gr6/24

4:52 pm

those hi's are so hard to clue! but... you never need to leave the bottom right square of nine letters, if that helps

4:52 pm

sorry noblelover... both hi 6/21 begin with the same three letters that sound like the opposite of "him" the last three letters are the plural letter followed by a consonant and a vowel; then add the letter in the corner for the 7

4:52 pm

Thank you, Hurshy. As always, your huge brain eclipses mine own.

4:52 pm

4:55 pm

hi 6: first three letters of two preceeding words, then snake, stick and second vowel,

4:55 pm

5:37 pm

can't see the fi4/10

5:37 pm

DR. GOD: I keep getting an "unresponsive script" message whenever the page reloads or I return from a trip to A2Z, etc. I have a choice to "stop script" or "continue". I have to hit continue at least 4 or 5 times to get the Babble page to fully reload again. I turned off my pop-up blocker thinking this might be the problem. No change or improvement after doing that.

5:37 pm

he knows, judi :) a bunch of us have it, and it's getting worse

5:37 pm

okay, I need two more 6s, 8 5s and 13 4s 23

5:37 pm

5:38 pm

nice, stid

5:38 pm

it's always good to have more 4's at the end, easier to monkey.

5:38 pm

Okay. Disregard my whining then. Just add me to the collective.

5:38 pm

I am seeing the same, Judi'

5:38 pm

5:39 pm

Geezum Christmas! I finally got the Ti5 & 6 I was looking for. Had to Google spanish character definitions. I know the symbol and the sound it dictates, but I never knew what the symbol was called. Another pebble of knowledge gleened from Babble.

6:26 pm

Ah, noblelover, you would do well to keep that sort of thing private...

6:26 pm

now i understand why you've had such trouble with clues, and i'm even more impressed that you got all those puzzles!

6:26 pm

6:27 pm

*splutter!* - thanks stid...i think.

6:27 pm

Now I know what a luge is, I must get me one. Ta Hursh

6:27 pm

It's not good to make your age available on a chatboard with strangers when you're a minor...

6:27 pm

my theory is that it becomes pretty obvious if someone is a kid, and i think if we know who the kids are we can give them easier clues and also look out for them in terms of weirdos.

6:28 pm

Just passed the halfway point too! *stifles a swoon*

6:28 pm

yes, hurshy and Douglas, you are both right. I try to be on the chat when my kids are playing, but...

6:28 pm

6:54 pm

which one are you talking about hur

6:54 pm

noble, the other one is also plural of a 5/12 which rhymes with a jewel we get out of oysters.

one of the me 6 21s is a plural

6:55 pm

I just got the pigs hangout

6:55 pm

the first me 6/21 was the worth one, then the jewel one is the second.

6:55 pm

both me 6/21s are plurals

6:55 pm

whoa all these T words are frightening....

6:55 pm

I certainly hope tomorrow has less words.

6:55 pm

Douglas - still with the pigs hangout, there's a past tense for it, too.

6:56 pm

how do i make it a worth

6:56 pm

shakespeare, peri - like the 4/6 but not past tense

6:56 pm

Duh, thanks hurshy, I must be tired, missing obvious ones

6:56 pm

just like quidditch no?

6:57 pm

what about the first me, 6 21

6:57 pm

"And though this world with ***** filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us" Variant spelling of the *****

6:57 pm

scribble, most of the T words are real words at least

6:57 pm

but with quidditch, i'm only a spectator

6:57 pm

Yes, the log is going fast. Hard to keep up with the log and look for and type in words.

6:57 pm

speaking of quidditch, muggle is now inthe dictionary

6:57 pm

Hursh - Yes, it's a bit of a problem for me. I wish the refresh rate could be slowed a bit. Getting the rest of the log is next to impossible in Firefox. I may have to try entering through IE.

6:57 pm

what is the first me 6 21 word

6:58 pm

noble that was the first me 6/21 word

6:58 pm

the badges one you just said you got

6:58 pm

yeah i wasnt so afraid until i saw the box with 18 AND the box with 25. (i hope that made sense)

6:58 pm

the jewel clue, noble

6:58 pm

was very confusing

6:58 pm

I think I've done pretty well considering this is my second try playing this game, really. 157/229.

7:14 pm

Yep an amateur......it is waaaaaay more fun this way imho

Yowza Kick! good onya

I keep wanting to enter 'milf'. I've been on the internet too long.

7:48 pm

Actually, there isn't, ourika, you just have to shout out your shame for all the world

7:48 pm

Did someone ask for a list of the ti words? Or rather clues for them?

7:48 pm

I'm only at 56 words with 173 left :(

7:48 pm

Okay, I'm going to try to be sociable again. Last time was completely fruitless. HI EVERBODY!!!

hi--- ersl <-- be dyslexic

7:48 pm

ourika - you can always see yesterday's puzzle and how many points everyone had.

7:48 pm

hilsre

7:48 pm

Ourika, please don't put that idea into Dr_G's mind! LOL.

7:49 pm

Hi you fellow Smithckick!

7:49 pm

hi

7:49 pm

omg sorry about that wrong box!

7:49 pm

gwenski - that's a great idea, thanks!

7:49 pm

Any particular ti, Silvertiger or all of them?

last one

7:49 pm

ourika, the only way to tell is to ask. but there's no such thing as doing badly. it's a personal best thing. I try to complete four or five grids a week, some people try to complete every single grid, some people are happy to get 50 words a day.

6,21

7:49 pm

Hey shutterbug! I was beginning to think I was invisible! I've only been gone a few weeks and ...

7:50 pm

On further review, ourika, there is not only no way of telling how many words each Babbler has, there is also no way of telling how much time each Babbler has wasted, er, I mean, invested playing Babble for a particular day...

7:50 pm

se6/18: fall baseball classic, world se****

7:50 pm

harpjane - I'd like to get to 75, but I'm curious as to what averages are. This is only my second try.

HI, TO! How goes it?

7:51 pm

despite my mistake, still nto getting either HI 6/21s

7:51 pm

The rankings page is interesting but it won't really tell you either. But 75 is good for your second day! (We can all quit any time, honest.....)

7:51 pm

tks gwenski i got fireworks

7:51 pm

anyone know the last ti 6,21

7:51 pm

its really bothering me

7:52 pm

chrome they are both anagrams of your "booboo"

7:52 pm

jacula are you still there

7:52 pm

Silvertiger - ti6/21 pl. of the 5 before it, which is a squiggly accent placed over the 'n' in Spanish and vowels in Portugese.

chrome---hers with an i, and add an le/el

7:52 pm

The people who hang out on the chat log generally get more words than the people who don't, but there is also rampant clue giving. It might not be a bad idea to have three sections, the iron solvers who use neither the chat log nor the list, the people who use the list but not the chat log, and the wimps such as ourselves...

i could use some help plese on i words - execpt for the thing and the plural

7:52 pm

whats the accent called

7:53 pm

Or, Silvertiger, ti6/21, past tense of the word before it, which means to make a rattling sound by twirling or shaking.

7:53 pm

noblelover, the last ti6/21 is past tense of the word before it. The word after it is plural

7:53 pm

go wimps!!

7:53 pm

jacula, you know the points we et, how come they go down even though i have finished the grid yesterday, i have lost a point

well.. i am missing 4 Ts

7:53 pm

I just browsed to the archives. You USED to be able to see what each player got on each puzzle. Has that feature been removed with the new version?

and 5 from the other

7:54 pm

there are also those electrically charged things and that one about getting one's dander up with the plural letter.

7:54 pm

That's on the i's TO

no idea jac

fish, please! : )

7:54 pm

On the other hand, we do have a lot of jolly fun chatting

7:54 pm

Scatty - Not being mathematically minded, I still don't have a clue as to how the points work. Sorry!

i's all done : )

7:55 pm

any hints for the en4/6?

7:55 pm

thanks so much!

7:55 pm

The Help icon has some information as to how the points work

7:56 pm

i thought you might have known as you have been playing alot longer than me, not to worry, one day we will understand how it all works.

7:56 pm

YO hurshy whats so6 18

7:56 pm

en 4/6 is like the plural of the abbreviation for a language

7:56 pm

thanx!

7:56 pm

Douglas - I know! If only I understood it! LOL. There's a word for people like me who are mathematically challenged but I can't recall what it is.

7:56 pm

or anyone else that has a clue

7:56 pm

i don't like this new box, if you write more than a couple of lines you can't see what you have written until you send it

7:57 pm

It's like being 'word blind' (dyslexic) but is a different word.

7:57 pm

whats So 6,18?/

7:57 pm

so 6/18 is related to re 8/40

7:57 pm

oh, and i was so impressed with my creative clue

8:03 pm

Yes, that's an fi 7/44

Little thinking that my mind, the grid would surely break...

8:14 pm

lol

8:15 pm

8:43 pm

FIREWORKS!!!!

8:43 pm

well, im missing a couple from half of the letters, and it seems too much to figure out which ones im missing

hurshy: i LOVE weirdos...and they seem to be attracted to me, too!

8:44 pm

no i meant with the calculus - or did you mean that figuring out was as hard as calculus?

8:44 pm

if any clues are needed, just ask

8:44 pm

congrats, georgiaj

no... im actually doing calculus

8:44 pm

what's the prob?

why not?

8:47 pm

too busy i guess

8:47 pm

pretending the 2 doesn't exist!!!

8:47 pm

Oh! Doesn't she, Hursh. That's a shame! Did her daughter say why?

yeh, so then i can deal with the 2 later, but now im just confuzzled

8:48 pm

you didn't chain rule the insides of the trig functions, silver.

8:48 pm

no you did

8:48 pm

Oh well, it's true the Babble can take up far too much of your waking day if you let it (and even intrude on your dreams, too!)

8:48 pm

but you didn't put on the v and the u in the product rule part

8:49 pm

u'v + uv'

oh

how do u know calculus?

i give up - list here i come!

8:49 pm

i teach it.

really?

8:50 pm

yes

8:50 pm

Best plan is to make a blank grid on paper and photocopy it. Then, you don't even have to sign in, if you don't want to, to write the letters for the day down. You can then go away and put in words at random on paper. Eventually, when you have time, you log in and try your luck.

8:50 pm

do you get it now or should i go in more detail?

u dont mind helping me with more do u?

8:50 pm

not at all - unless we might be annoying people? have you got AIM?

silvertiger4388

8:51 pm

Hursh - it meant you scored a point! LOL.

8:52 pm

oh ok :)

8:52 pm

i don't mind seeing calculus, though I no longer understand it!

8:53 pm

Hursh - it also meant that you know what you are talking about there and I respect you.

8:54 pm

Not sure I EVER understood calculus though.;-/

8:54 pm

ty jac :)

bye for now - back to finish after grey's anatomy

8:57 pm

later, Temple Owl!

8:58 pm

BTW, Hursh.. How did you wangle your way out of forgetting to teach your class that day a few weeks ago? I also wanted o say that my eldest cat is also a Dairy Queen, like yours. No. 2 cat is a carnivore.

8:59 pm

Help on ga6?

8:59 pm

can someone help me with ti 5/12 the one after the sqabble, please

8:59 pm

If cheese is being cut... she is right there. If meat or anything vaguely fatty is being cut... then both cats are there. Mind you, cats NEED fat in their diet as an absolute essential.

ga6 --males who fill your tank with fuel

9:00 pm

Hursh - but what did you say to them as an excuse, as opposed to what you said to your boss, unless you are the boss, rather than teaching at a private school.

9:00 pm

thank you

ti5/12 is the little squiggly line in the top left corner of your keyboard

9:00 pm

9:00 pm

I love cats, we have 2 and one has a sweet tooth and the other just savory stuff, Funny how they are.

9:01 pm

hmmm...i do want to stidmama but i'm doing some calculus handholding at the moment... jac, can you help stid with her missing s's and m's?

9:02 pm

Hurshy - I will try!

9:02 pm

oh -- right. (of course, sorry) Jacula? *hopefully* I'm listless so far... :-)

9:02 pm

ti5/12 is the squiggly line in the corner...next to the one

9:06 pm

Guess many of us know what you mean. But not how you're feeling right now, exactly. Well, how could we? But (((HUGS))) anyway.

9:07 pm

Jacula, I am so dense tonight .. can you illuminate the types of rice maybe? and is this a clue for an s or an m?

9:07 pm

Stidmama - let'a try to find what you are missing now...

9:07 pm

thanks jacula. now i have to shake the jetlag and get ready to deal with work in the morning. i'm off to try and sleep. take care all, see you tomorrow.

9:08 pm

9:16 pm

9:17 pm

9:42 pm

Sorry still can't figure out the first fi 7/44.I have the one that is a clue at the moment.

9:42 pm

se 4/7 ends in a conjunction

Eva = SE+ little word..."What ** I won the lottery?"

so 5/10 is a sort of echolocation. not radar, but so***

9:43 pm

first 7/44 is a plural of those who get pictures on fi 4/8

Thanks for that, benda. Got it!

so 6/18: someone's boy + pesky picnic insect

9:43 pm

SE4/7 is life in feudal times only with an S. Howeever I hit the link for the dictionary and it said - No Such Word??

ok kenny. sorry it took so long for me to respond

9:44 pm

9:45 pm

middle is the place where fi'** are made - compound word

10:06 pm

My first fireworks in the new grid!!! very satisfying. Almost makes up for not being able to access the whole chat log, getting bounced from the chat log period for a while, constant messages about unresponsive scripts (what's that when it's at home, I ask you?) and other strange gremlins. I suppose it will settle down after a while and I'll get more used to it.

10:06 pm

YAY Eva!

11:25 pm

yw, nrkii i just cross my eyes and then the double goes away LOL

11:26 pm

lol im missing this completely -- last one though!

11:26 pm

chrome - ti6/21 is plural for the guy who keeps the clock at a race

11:26 pm

Isn't it supposed to be the other way around....

11:27 pm

looking for 2nd 6/21; haha struggle to the very end

11:27 pm

What clock?

11:27 pm

can't keep my eyes open -- catch you on the flip side of the moon! be safe all.

11:27 pm

Rhymes with the whole wide *****

11:27 pm

chrome - plural of a punctuation mark

11:27 pm

Chrome -- you want ti + hook letter + tall letter... plus past tense letters, I think

11:28 pm

Stid, I have one of my thick moments coming on: you tell me the last ti6/21 isthe past tense of the ti4/4 just before it, but I don't see how that can be made to work. What am I not seeing?

11:28 pm

Hi all.... May I please have clues for SA 6/18 and 7/28?

11:28 pm

haha i just realized there were 3 ti 6/21 and not too; looking for 3rd and ur all amazing and im a very sad babbler right now

11:28 pm

OH THANK YOU mama - I could not think of the codes to save my life!

11:28 pm

Anyone want a Vodka & Tonic???

11:29 pm

sometimes, hetty... it's better to just try it and NOT think...

11:29 pm

hetty, do you have the TI 4 that rhymes with the word for a young woman?

11:29 pm

remember, too, hetty et al -- you can count the points on the letters ...

11:29 pm

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

Waiting to flip. Sad but true.

11:30 pm

I LOVE the priorities!

11:31 pm

ok - hi 6/21 , 6/21 & 7/36 ?

11:32 pm

I forgot all about it! First one I've missed in I don't know how many years! Just too busy trying to combine households!

11:32 pm

yep, hootowl -- sure can tell which of us are of "strong puritan stock" and which are more lackadaisical! LOL

11:32 pm

mama - I love you! :D

11:32 pm

oh, maybe you can find a replay somewhere, it was really impressive. The winner even looked like he was going to fall to the middle of the pack for a while!

11:33 pm

Helen, the first two sound like a car used at a funeral, with a stick consonant on the end.

11:33 pm

I'm in Tenn. They are not part of the real world!

11:33 pm

For those two, switch the last two letters to get two different spellings.

11:33 pm

For the 7/36, make the second 6/21 past tense

11:34 pm

I'm sorry helen - not paying attention.

11:34 pm

Spelling is iffy but nrkii's clue is good

11:34 pm

Helen, looks like you've got plenty of willing cluers!

11:35 pm

ty must have monkey typed all around those combinations -- done

11:35 pm

Okay, gotta get up and start the new week in less than 6 hours. Thanks for the hints all. G'night!

11:35 pm

good night, nrkii!

11:35 pm

Congrats Helen!!!

11:35 pm

bye nrkii - we'll race again another day

11:35 pm

11:35 pm

YAY Helen!

11:36 pm

11:36 pm

11:36 pm

11:37 pm

11:37 pm

I think they're nice both of 'em!

11:37 pm

11:38 pm

11:38 pm

11:38 pm

The E on the right on the bottom row.

11:39 pm

tsei, there is one that resembles the opposite of "youngs"

11:39 pm

hetty -- how are you doing?

11:39 pm

el = the older members of a community, el = greeting and a shade tree

11:39 pm

11:40 pm

those = are supposed to be +++++

11:41 pm

First em = Iranian ruler

11:41 pm

11:41 pm

2nd = a microwave em** waves

11:41 pm

then plurals of both

11:42 pm

11:43 pm

Hey ghost - are you a female too?

11:43 pm

Dr god is tingy with his volunteer icons!

11:44 pm

11:45 pm

Come on people - 2 Vodka & Tonics does NOT mean I can't clue!

11:45 pm

Well...maybe the weird ones......

11:46 pm

11:46 pm

11:47 pm

ok ghost - finally caught up with your answer! In spite of icon (courtesy of (Dr god) I am female!

11:47 pm

mama - you got no class! :D:D:D

11:48 pm

Stingy cause I'm NOT male and thats all he gave us!

11:48 pm

class? *reaches for her mochajavachocolatte* I'll show you class! *sprinkles almond slivers and chocolate shavings on the whipped cream topping*

11:49 pm

mama - you have NO IDEA how revolting that is to me!

11:49 pm

oh -- I just thought it was short hair! LOL -- you can't tell from my icon today which of us is which, but one is me with long hair, and the other my gr*** with curly hair!

11:49 pm

Not a chocolate OR almond person!

11:50 pm

Do like whipped cream but in other scenarios........

11:50 pm

ooh, hootowl! you're being naughty!

11:51 pm

I think a little Kalua in the coffe would work wonders... ;->

11:51 pm

sorry hootowl, didn't me to yuck you...

11:51 pm

NOOOOOOOOOO! Kalua is just coffee in disguise!

11:52 pm

Mama - I think you and I could be really good friends!

11:52 pm

How can anyone not like chocolate??

11:52 pm

Thanks for asking, stid. I've ground to a halt with the gr9 and my poor old head is beyond going beyond some grand solution that doesn't work. See, even my excuses don't make any sense,. Enjoy your mocha, bloved alter-ego, and I'll see you again tomorrow.

11:53 pm

It's easy! Give it up for Lent...Not miss it... Find better substtutes!

11:53 pm

I suspect so, hootowl! as long as you don't make me drink likker and I don't offer you coffee! (I usually drink tea anyway).

11:54 pm

I bet we could compromise -- hot spiced cider?

11:54 pm

That gr9 is a killer. Hello all.

11:55 pm

Now wait a minute! I do drink coffee AND tea...but thats for mornings! At night< I want to get sleepy!

11:55 pm

hetty -- a clue on the gr 9.... my second son's name gr*** + s + pural males; his name also means "give"

11:55 pm

oooh -- okay, that's easier for me to "swallow" LOL

11:56 pm

gr6/24 if you rub the magic lamp, the genie will make your wish come true. He gr**** your wih

11:56 pm

That gr 9 is a combo

11:57 pm

gr5/14 (6/24) + those masculine people floating around

11:57 pm

Gee...can you tell I've been drinking??????

11:57 pm

Stid, you are amazing. However, I still have 10 words to go and I'll never get them before the flip, so goodnght, sweetheart.Sweethearts all.

11:58 pm

good night, dear hetty! you did well today, with all the running around of a Sunday... see you tomorrow.

11:58 pm

dog needs out, brb

11:58 pm

Amen to that ghost.

11:58 pm

almostaghost, seems the grid started out 24 hours ago with someone saying that! LOL

11:59 pm

nornna

11:59 pm

It will be someday - you haven't been around long enough to realise hoe "flexible" these words are.

11:59 pm

11:59 pm

*because
