woth
oops.....
blah to work and getting home this late
blah to work and getting home this late
sorry for the double post :-)
had to take abreak and see what the bball game was going. this grid doesn't have too many big words, anyway.
anybody else getting errors??
okay, not a good grid for me, I can tell!! LOL
it's okay knutmeg -- I think there's stuff happening in the background!
When are lickety's clues updated?
can't believe it will not take nooner
so stid you see my baby
I have 33 words, 334 points, a good place to stop.
i think he needs to do the puzzle first
bbnaz, she's beautiful! so is her mama!
i only have 16 so far. you guys are really good :)
Luna will be a grey like her mum
he doesn't do the whole puzzle, he has a program that spits out the clues for us... :-) he always comes on when it's ready
how can you tell? she looks really dark right now...
or do horses do like humans and have one coat when they're born and then change as they get older?
the hair on her eyelids are already flecked with grey. most likely the rest of her will too as grey is the dominant gene. she will lighten as she sheds her coat each year well i am going to head to bed and take a whack at this in the morning.
cool -- learn wonderful new things every time we talk! see you tomorrow.
and I am off, too. Good Night all, happy Babbling!
night mama
DO SOME WORK, KATE HILLMAN!
Doesn't like 'leos', as in multiples of the zodiac sign.
G'night Stidmama
Good Evening -- a Dow Reid carving from a narwhale tusk - "The Rookery" -- same sculptor that produce "Spirit of the Sails" that I had in an earlier icon.

Hey Baafour - how old are you? (if you don't mind me asking)
i'm 56
Everyone sounds like a teenager in her - but I think the average age must be about 40!
im 18
i guess im above average :)
:d sorry if that makes ne1 feel old!
morning/afternoon Whats the grid like today?
Now there's nothing wrong with 40 (impendingish)
this game bridges the gap ;]
Hi FMitch - It's an ugly grid! Maybe you'll be the one to make sense of it! Geez - that sounded all wrong!
LOL lickety

bye lolly
etune
wank - not found?
i think that there is a record here - 3 nights in a row the same se 5/10
**wie!!
Hey Joey - I've been curious as to whether it might be fun to have stats on the last time a word has appeared - like Days before.
What do you think?
i have been playing for quite a while now, and this is the first time that I have seen a not common word repeated like that.
how tough would it be?
you very often have the same words appearing
you love your stats don't your likety, you could have like the top 10 most regular and the the 10 rarest?
Not tough - just need all the solutions.
I agree, but they are usually very easy words, the volcano comes to mind
yes
10 rarest would be tough. there are just so many
FMtich - yeah could be interesting - but Rarest - I'd say that'd be about 150,000 ;-)
LOL ... very true
grr. wank is too a word!
I like extremes - like a puzzle with the least number of words etc.
All A's would do it. But that's not fun.
A!
well, it is 2 am and i am leaving with 26 to go. tried hard, but have to get up in 5 hours.
night all - good luck

Morning all! What's it like today?
not as easy as the last few we have ahd :(
As easy ?! As a novice, I haven't found ANY easy, though I did manage to eventually complete yesterday's (crossword solvers are a big help)
Morning all. Quick babble before I go off to score in a cricket match.
what is a crossword solver?
A nifty tool where you can plug in as many letters as you have, and the number of letters of the answer, and it'll give you a list of words that fit. Bit naughty, really...
matty -I don't finish without some help either :) Hi Frances!!
hi rish
where do you find crossword solver?
where do i find that!?
Hi FMitch
try www.a2z.com also look at Angelsongs link below as she lists other ones too
http://www.jumble.org/jumble.shtml
That one worked for me...
Morning dear gang
Yey sprite!!!
Morning sprite
skin
OOOOOOOPS
Yup, that one too ;)
That just told me that I should do five more minutes and then go off to do the dots
The dots?
The dots........cricket scoring
Morning sprite. Sorry for your loss. Good to see you back.
Was sorry to read the news in the log the other day sprite.
im done.
Already!!! WTG oggy
Of course. It's been years since my husband played cricket. His club used to have a mad German woman scoring.
any hints for the en7?
mad + German + cricket.... interesting combo...
I'll go along with the mad bit.....you need to be!
Her husband was the nearly blind referee...the joys of club cricket :)
what!?!
that is a crazy clue
Umpire, not referee
thats me finished bye all
Umpire + scorer, Husband and Wife - no chance of any appeals then...
Sorry, yes. And laws, not rules. And innings, not inning. And you don't have to run when you hit the ball. And you carry your bat...
There is a wonderful explanation of cricket in Bill Bryson's Down Under - everytime I read it, I cry with laughter.
Spent last summer explaining it to my fiancee
Don't know, sounds quite appealing to me!
I thought the Scots didn't play much cricket?
Well kept secret...;)
had to tell her it wasn't normally that exciting...
any hints for the en7?
RISH...that's no clue....that's a space station.....the en7 means to make someone excited
Also helped that my GranPa played for Warwickshire
HA!! The first time I watched my husband play cricket, it was a limited overs game, and at the end, I was shouting for them to run, damn it!
No going back after that!
Know a lovely Scot who used to play for Essex. So, now I’m off. Back tonight. Bye
Bye
Seeya!
I'm stuck on the en7...
mee tooo
79 down - 79 to go..
r there really two et6/21's?
i think it's a lie...
'Tisn't. but the words can be obscure. I haven't got it yet, but try the crossword solver link I gave below.
en7 = to encourage someone (perhaps more recognisable with 'iastic' on the end)
Duh, yes. I'm rubbish at anagrams - I think that's part of my problem.
Hehe, I like the S6/36!
Sprite, the t6/48 is my favourite so far :)
Sry, I meant the W6/36. No wonder I keep finding words I thought I already entered, if I can't keep my letters apart :)
Trish, now I want twoink!
I've tried 'shonky' several times ... perfectly acceptable word!
Ow, that is a nice one too indeed! (*starts education the enable dictionary again*)
*educate
hello sprite... how are things and how's you hubby
We hang on to each other and try to make it through the motions. It's a bit hectic, with the funeral, the renovation of the kitchen and my starting to work again this week... we both felt yesterday like we don't know what to feel anymore. Exhaustion perhaps ;) Thanks for asking! :)
Heh - anyone know what a Shonky is, and from where the reference is?
There's a high scoring wh6/51, but it's a bit early in the day for a shot of this one.
It is... nice one, FMitch!
Matty, I don't know the origins, but it means ...dubious, poorly made or thought out; also underhand (shonky car deal dealer)
Hi matty, i use shonky all the time, "something that's not put together right".Don't know where it comes from but i picked it up in Australia..
svet, isnt that usually described as shoddy?
Good morning all. Just getting started on the grid.
hiya haz
Shonky sounds better, though.
wonky
jo_jo, shonky is more of a slang term. Hi Haz :) And bye, I'm done ... have a good day everyone. Hang in there, Sprite & family
any hints for the ho5/24?
Yeah that's also used here, both are equally good for it i think.
If you read Terry Pratchett, you'll get a new view on Shonky. Heh.
grr that explains y it didnt show up in my word list
Morning Haz, hows you?
I know i tried that after the w8nk word.
Rhymes with jo_jo's one, RISH.
ho5/24 is American slang for a white person....or, what a goose might be....
Damn - wank isn't there. Can't imagine why...
wow we two really x-rated words today....
I'm fine thanks. The grid looks interesting!
thank you, dt!
good words but Im finding it a sticky one today.
Mornin' all!
9tanks, i found them straight away lol
np, rish....i'm still missing 2 7's....
Morning amanda
Good morning amamdacath
we have violence,drunk and x-rated words all of them today... interesting
toes
oopsss sorry... apologies
still getting used to the new grid
We all are, 9tanks, don't feel bad. I still think there is a better solution.
any hints for an4/9?
Egyptian healing staff
The Egytpians had hospitals?
Lol!
I find it interesting how groups of related words often show up in the same grid - the s4 and w5 today, a while ago we had curds and whey on the same day - think it's a conspiracy?
Must be, amandacath! We used to have a fish in every grid, for months and months on end. Did I ever mention I hate K-words?
never knew that one....thanks Sprite
Ahh but at least there are only 6 of them today sprite :)
ther are SIX k's?
That's 6 too many though :)
one of them is delicious
Yeah, I miss the "find-the-fish" game!
... and I only have 3 of them. ExWren will be glad there are only 5 re's too.
I have 4, none of them even remotely delicious, and I would really wanna K4/12 the other 2.
i dont think that im going to do very well today
awww...the k5/20 is a jewish delicacy....you should really try one someday...
le5/10? anyone?
Plural American chat show host (Jay)
Sprite - the yummy k is yiddish, and Enable allows the german word for cinema (go figure)
Le5 is plural of Le4/4, anagram of the christmas N4. I did not k4 that word, dick, I have it but never tasted it. Sounds nice indeed, for a K-word that is.
what's not to like about fried potato pastries?

If one tries kniow, does that mean one is desperate?

what's not to like about fried potato pastries?
what's not to like about fried potato pastries?
what's not to like about fried potato pastries?
what's not to like about fried potato pastries?
the other le5?
Well, dick, you're awfully adamant about fried potato pastries! And outie is a word - as in belly-buttons!
outie as opposed to innie?
You got it Sprite!
I learn something new here every day!
I just wish current fashion didn't dictate that young women showed us which kind they have!
I hate words that begin in vowels. For some reason, I find those really difficult (even when I've heard of the word)
i dont get it haz
Oh, that doesn't bother me at all. I like the freedom of it.
oh, nevermind, i know now
matty, I agree. And I heard more people say exactly the same thing.
Me too Sprite - I'm also glad it came back into fashion before my body is absolutely way over the limit of following it! I'm pushing the limit as it is, but 3 years later will probably be the end of bare tummies in public for me!
Last year, when it was so very hot, there was this young mother at school, pregnant again, with very colourfull clothes and a kind of bandana under the big belly and a short T-shirt above it. It was positively beautiful to look at.
Morning all! Matty introduced me to this and I blame her for the fact that I've done nothing but walk the dogs this morning!
Hi Sue!
being pregnant suits some women more then others.
It's all your fault...
Welcome to your new addiction, Sue!
just found in7/48
Thanks! It's great fun.
I thought pregnancy made every woman beautiful!
Sue, how wonderful you have something to blame for it! Welcome and enjoy :)
Heh. You learn some weird, weird words...
Thanks sprite - I blame Matty for lots of things!
Oy!
I meant *someone, of course... this is definitely NOT my best day.
i think i just need to get used to the idea of my cousin having a baby
I can imagine that being a bit confronting ;)
Morning all, only 5 re's today, hmm, I might play, depends how I feel after we've done the Tesco shopping this morning
no6?
Morning ExWren
Mornin Wren
I wish I could print the grid, I've tried Lickety's one, but it is too small
You could always reproduce it in Excel.
I've read some of the chat, it seems that there are some weird words?
Or hit Print Screen, and insert it into Word or Adobe or a picture programme to print it.
Good Ol' Santa's celebration may be in here, but he is not allowed to say hoho. :(
How do I do those Matty?
Did someone ask for the other Le5? I think it's a musical word for slow.
You should have a button called Prt Scrn or Print Screen - hit that. Go into Word, and click Ctrl+V (that's the Ctrl button and v at the same time). You should have a reproduction of yor screen. You can then fiddle with it to resize. Cheers.
morning all. need help. HO 5 24.
Isn't that U8 something really impossible to do?
Bgrim - if you have the sound of ho4/9 then the ho5/24 is the adjective
thanks haz
Yeah, Sprite - how does one go about doing that?
Change your mind?
But that would not Un.... it, only change it. Well, okay, now we're into vowelwords, let's not forget the pig sounds.
nice clue ladies, didnt have the u8 or 7 for that metter
Thanks for that Matty, it didn't respond when I pressed that button, but I will come back to it later and try again
I'm still trying to find the in7 you spoke of earlier, FMitch.
That In7 is misleading. Forget opposite of out. Start thinking black fluid. And make a compound.
Got the in7 - nice word!
I's a strange word, would have thought it was 2 seperate ones. i (3 letters) + an h4.
Got the first three letters - can't imagine what the other four are (in7)
Just try making compounds with it, you'll be there soon enough :)
got it. Never heard of it!
Unicorns might write with the in7
Good grief! That's an odd word. But then, why am I surprised?
LOL Haz Thats a good one amanda
Thx Mitch - coming up with good clues is half the fun!
A famous dutch writer once said: "A creative mind distinguishes itself from non-creative minds by its power to constantly be amazed."
any help with en/7?
Thats a great quotation!
thank amanda
en7/36 is a verb meaning to display positive feelings about something
En7: stimulate, make s.o. want to do something.
ty
any help with an 5/20
Plural of An4/9, egyptian healing rod.
Ah great, my last 7, Er7, wear and tear.
anot
thanks sprite I was missing that last 7 too.
et6???
Must be saying something of your babble minds that we find the N7 before the Er7.
There are two, RISH.
*your = our
good morning everyone:)
Good morning jean!
LOL sprite but you dont mean an n7 do you! Morning jean.
hi haz hope all is well with you today
and to u fmitch
which letter does the 8 letter word start with? don't see it.
the one that doesn't sound like fuel, et6?
Yes thanks - but will have to leave soon to get other things done.
20 more mins and then I really really am taking a break!!! Honest :)
i know the feeling i just cant seem to start my day until ive had a look at the babble lol im only on here for a while
un8/70
Rish - it's UN.
nevermind got it thx haz missed the s
what?
I am not sure what is happening to me, lol. I make heaps of typos and mistakes today. I meant N6, now that I count better. Soooo sorrrrry!
sprite you have a lot on your plate at the moment so are bound to be a bit fragmented ((hugs))
Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better. I hate feeling stupid :) *hug back*
Good morning everyone!
You still found all those Egyptian hospital people sprite.
Any hints for the un7 & 8?
All right, now I need that n6 that you're talking about Morning Eva
morning amanda
amanda, there is nothing you can do with it ;)
Eva, Haz suggested: change your mind?
never mind (no pun intended)-I got it.
The dictionary definition says 'to disregard'
Your clue was better than the dictionary, Haz :)
You're very kind, sprite!
from the bottom or the top N?
From the very bottom N
no + s4/9 is too a word!
Okay, time to get on with other things. 74 words left to find later in the day. Happy hunting everyone!
help sh512 and 6/21...
bye haz
Movie with Clint Eastwood, the Gauntlet. Molly No6. I agree, amanda!
RISH, start with the rifle Sh4/5 and extend on that.
Bye Haz
Molly Ringwald, Molly Malone, Moll Flanders.... I'm still stuck. Even checked out the Gauntlet on IMDB, no Mollys
Ok, found it. But what does the Gauntlet or Molly have to do with it?
It is in the movie itself. People are betting against Clint making it to court with his prisoner Molly. The bets are in the horse races and they refer to it with "Molly No+s4". So I agree it should be a valid word.
Ahhhh - now I understand.
I'm off for a bit - see you in a little while!
what's wrong with hinky?!
thin
ooops! sorry
I'm stuck on the first el5 word. I've got the one that's like a spanish musical instrument...
Sorry to be so unclear. I guess my brain and I are on trial separation today, see how it is to live separately. I am done, off to do some housecleaning and cooking preparations. Not much I can ruin with that... or is there ;)
I only have one EL5, hydra, and that is the one that ends in a musical instrument.
im stuck here:)
Oh, sorry, I mean the first el6!
If you mean the EL6, think of speaking a language very well, FL5. Then change the start.
FL6 of course, sigh. I cannot count. I cannot spell. I should not be here!
thanks very much, sprite. I'd never have got that without your help.
yw! And next time it pops up in a grid, you will know. That's how I knew. ;) I am off now, good hunting to all of you.
Bye. Have a good day.

morning jera
oner
morning Jera
I'm back again for a bit - Hi Jera!
How is everyone today? How goes the grid?
awful grid
Or is it too early to tell?
Oh dear, I feared as much when hinky was not valid...
I'm not finding it too bad - up to 107 without too much trouble, and a little help from my friends
amanda-your brain must be working alot better than mine. Only 97 and struggling to keep going at all
You're doing fine, Eva, considering I was on about an hour before you
I have 93 left...been here about 30 mins I think
but slowing down now lol
Fireworks! 158 words & 2077 pts today
I have 34 in about 10 minutes
wd spellit
Huzzah for spellit!!
great spellit!!!
brill spellit
Anybody know why shoa isn't in Enable? Nor shoah - that's drivn me crazy for quite a while now...
What does that mean, amandacath?
Holocaust
I noticed that a while ago---either it isn't accepted as english or it has to be capitalized
Neither is "tonk" as in tonk the ball for six in cricket
...is what it means, Jera
Ahh, I see. Lots of Yiddish is valid, though
Maybe it's considered proper?
Lots of not english is valid for that matter, Enable is a very international source
I thinks it's actually Hebrew, not Yiddish, and yes, it probably is capitalized - Ishult, are you lurking as a possible expert?
59 left and my body is saying its time for a break. See you later
Hello, everybody, Yoink! what a crazy looking grid. I've lost my color. Any1 else?
bye eva
sheol is valid, though...
Bye Eva
Hello and goodbye Eva
Greetings, gramma!
Still in color here...
Hi gramma!
hello and goodbye to you gramma. haven't see you i a long time. How are the blackflies down your way?
Hi folks. I'm enjoying the grid but wondering why it allow's Aladdin's Mum (Widow Tw****) and not the 3 'rude' wa words that are sourced from it. It won't allow 'whoo!', 'hoik/s', 'oiks' is ''yonks' either.
have colour here gramma
Shoah is Hebrew and is a proper noun, meaning, Iiterally, a catastrphic upheaval. Capitalized, it specifically refers to the WW II Holocaust.
This grid looks like a real buster
No hinky, either...
Excuse bad spekking/typing and extraneous apostrophe! Need more tea!
LOL
Thanks, Pam! Now we know
8-)
Now Jera, don't get all hinky about it,yowth.
nuth
;P
kiny
oops
don't seem to be able to leave...the long ones were the easiest.
Yoinks! It won't take it - Enable is very erratic about comic words too
55 left to find here.
Welcome back
kish
OK, I'm off - got things to do. Will be back later for my last 47 words. Happy Babbling, all!
Later, amandacath!
nice to see I'm not the only cursorily challenged one(-:
See ya, amandacath ^_^
am off happy babbling everyone:)
Bye, jean!
bye-bye jean
hopefully bbl only managed 67:(
why is this version so different with the cursors? I don't see any difference ... wah!
What do you mean by cursorialy challenged??
Jera, I think she means when you forget to move your little pointy arrow back to the grid and you type your words in the chat
but didn't people have to do that with the old version of babble?
I think it's easier to forget here because the word box & the chat box are closer together. Before you had to go waaaaay down to the bottom of the page to chat... a very definite movement before chatting.
Wothis going on w/ this game. How many times in my yoth did my husband come home at twelve pm for a nooner? Nowth I'm told it doesn't exist??
Hi all! - I think the problem with the cursors now is that you used to have to scro;; back up to the word list from the message box and now you can see them both at the same time you forget to move the cursor back -I'm earning a golod award in it!
OK, "nooner" is a word in MY vocabulary
Lots of things exist that aren't valid according to Enable...
ohhh I see :)
Yes, well, that one struck me as particularly amusing, is all
but forgetting how to type apparently LOL
some of us would like a sepaate 'post message' button
Hmmm... no sikh, huh?
No Da Vinci Code either - sion not accepted..
I've already cussed about that one
snowy, don't be a wouse! You'll get used to it 8)
I think its great being able to hit return and post - I was hoping Dr_G would do that :)
I wanna know where are the big words people were saying are easy to find...
I've only found 3 6's!
I love it all -I just don't sem to be able to remember to move the cursor! I claim old age as an excuse
WI6? please
Never mind, got it!
wi6/33 - inside.
the 8 requires you to reverse your brain
I think that wins as stupidest word for today... ironically enough!
there's certainly a lack of something
Shame Enable won't let us be pirates and 'yohoho' with a bottle of rum.:)
WI6 - if it's not outside, it's...
somebody, somewhere is sitting making up stupid words! It's hard enough to cope with the sensible ones!
Jera, wot does it begin woth? Look at my new words..I lernt em from this grid.
I'm back...
The eight is a STUPID word. I think I'll un8/70 it! Maybe then it'll go away...
Hi Matty - gramma the 8 begins un, there is also a 7
We're used to using un7 and 8 whenever there is an -ing attached - ie doing something without regard to the feelings of others.
Noh! Nohway, that is bad
Oh my, I got so wrapped up in the grid I forgot to go to work! I'm not even showered and dressed yet. BYE
Haz, great clue! thanks. Morning all....
LOl gramma! I've sat here so long in a bath towel that my hair has dried without being styled!
Snowy - You'll look like Worzel Gummidge when you take the towel off your head! LOL
Haz - Thanks for the un7 & 8. Stupid words!
I know -it'll probably be easier to get back in the shower!
Snowy - I reckon so.
...unless you like the to6/21'd look!;)
LOL!!!
great clue!
:-D
On that no4/4, I'd better go and do some no4/5 for the cats. BBL.
Sorry - was away there hearing from my daughter about her philosophy exam. She claims to have failed but then she has claimed to have failed every exam she has ever sat. We await the results....
bye Jacula ty for the clues! Haz - mine was like that too!
I was like that too, and never failed a single one!
I've learnt to listen and be sympathetic and not to panic!
I'm going now too have 98 left for this evening.
Bye snowyowl!
oh no -92 - even better! happy babbling all
94 words to go...
hi everyone. back to try and finish this off. 77 to go
57 and rapidly losing the will to live...
56 left and LOST the wll to live. Gonna do some WORK.
I will be happy to make it halfway before time to get the kids going...
Any help for the first el 6/21 ?
tanga i'm stuck on that one too
Any tiny K tips, I'm really stuck at 75 words...
kn4-tie the kn** - to wed
el 6/21 = e+ lu 5/12
A clue that was given earlier was to think of a word meaning having mastered a spoken language, then replace the f with an e
*smack* can't believe I've been missing that n...
kn5/20 - I think of NYC & yiddish snack.
Those were big tips, whoo-hoo! One more & I'm halfway...
KI4/8 - a 4-letter word for family (kith & ki*) + vowel. Two different words with 2 different final vowels.
Ok, can't think - a 3-letter word for family + a vowel. sheesh.
I had the first vowel one, coulda sworn I tried the 4th vowel one already...
That's halfway for me... tyvm for the help, got me over the hump & I can use the list now...
Back later for the rest... keep the grid warm for me!
I have to get up & run too. 63 more to scrounge. Have fun & see everyone later.
kh 4/9 - anagram of an Indian religion.
good afternoon, everyone! :-)
Howdy!
ty tanga - finally completed one tile
kh4/9???
hi there
Matty - sounds like what happens when two mouths meet!
kh 4/9 - anagram of an Indian religion.
got it. Never heard of it, but got it. Sigh. Don't like this grid ;)
hw - never heard of a word beginning hw - more trial and error, me thinks.
thanks Sue!
HW...
not looked at the list yet, hw seems cruel (sigh)
its me - abbrv for half-wit
Never mind - found it, through trial and error. What kind of word is that?
I'll not know till I get it;)
welsh for a delivery vehicle
the hw word is not in the oxford english dictionary...just checked.
hoon
if the H was replaced by a G it would be Father Ted
Anyone had any joy with EO 5/10?
eo
eo+ one of the Seven Deadlies
red fluorescent dye
oops eo + what you go to confess to the priest
Thanks!
could i get clues for any of the o's? i can't see any of em! thanks
If I do sommut wrong, the responsibility or the on** lies with me
... a couple of piggy noises, a burden, a bird...
That do you for now?
some o's = what pigs say (sing & pl) plus a word that looks like the state of ohio
yes thanks
Or...since I am originally from New York, I lived ON the **...
i'm stopping at 90 for the morning; my brain is already worn out today.
Yoink!
good morning!
Neither yoinks nor wank, eh?
slut
slut
(oops -- sorry)
(yay -- first personal money error of the day!)
(no offense intended...)
lol sounds like you have terets
I have 72 oz of coffee in me -- which is about the same.
lol
good morning babblers
urf. I've just realised a down side to this layout. you can't have, say, 1/2 your screen as babble and 1/2 as something else and still see the chat log. pfft
morning!
this looks like a good board, but i'm not quite awake and focused yet
Hey all, I'm back for more FUN! *insert eyeroll here*
hi jera
{{abe}} Good to see you!
{{jera}} are you just starting the board?
Let's try som more
I was here a bit this morning, but had to get my daughter off to school..
its a good one
Morning everyone!
its a painful one ...
good morning jen. i guess you're right atalante, i just started so i 'm still in the "enjoyable" stage
just you wait! LOL :)
{{JEN}}
whish
sorry guys!
That Y is going to kill me, I just know it.
"whos" was not found in the dictionary? As in the plural of who's?
Hey Jera! How's it goin' today?
Pretty good, the school bus can't come by my house anymore so I have to make other arrangements to get the Sprite to school... grrrr, construction!
*peeks in again*
Guten Tag, Mikey!
*tackles {{{Mikey}} with a big hug*
That road is all torn up! I took it as a shortcut home and didn't realize it was down to 1 lane on both sides!
Hi Mikey!
They are tearing up the bit right in front of my house & extending the driveway. But no mail or school bus untill that's done...
It will be nice to not have the main road so close but until then, what a mess... & with all the rain who knows how long it will take to get the asphalt set?
Can anyone help with the wh 6/36 and the wh 5/20?
ja; gleichfalls, mattygroves; und (((((Umarmungen))))), Jera!!! :-)
hi, Jen! :-)
Got the 6/36 - now just hte wh5/20
wh 5/20 streetwalker
Got that one - it's the other I need...
*looks blank about the existence of wh words as she is going in alphabetical order today*
no 5,22....that's 1 word?? the speech therapist and I have been counting it as two for my 3 year old...drats!!
ach; sorry, mattgroves.....i'm only just starting the 'NO' section now! :-P i work down the page, unlike some who start at the bottom and work up!
mamabook... my 4 year old will be starting speech therapy soon...
Mattu - think of a swishing sound.
Matty - that should be. It's been hell since I started touch typing!
i'm a little disappointed that wank and wanks aren't allowed, lol.
jera...we've been at it for about 18 months...trying to get him to talk...he's stubborn
Yah - got the six that works for that...
ITA, miametro... they certainly can't claim they are too dirty... gods know we have had some filthy slang in here (on the grid, even)!
beat eggs matty?
I think o**wank should be a word too. it sounds amusing
exactly! lol. i guess it's just not a real word, too slangy.
Got htat one. It's got to be who...
Mine doesn't seem to be stubborn, just frustrated... just went through a round of testing & he's not autistic, thank the gods...
jera - i'm amazed at how much progres we've made..best of luck to you & your little one!
Hopefully he will be going to kindergarten this fall, but his birthday is end of September so he might get a waiver to delay strt
If it helps, I knew a little girl who didn't start speaking properly until after speech therapy at aged four -she's now around 10 and you'd never know there had ever been a problem. It's just as if she babbled because she knew that her sister and parents could understand her. I know another little girl who was a selective mute, and now she talks (though is still painfully shy) - there is always hope.
must have that one missing too matty..got all but one
good am guys.........
(((Jera))))) just read about the testing -- great news. I have some other things to do before I play. Just didn't want to miss you.
are there any words starting with the opposite of in?
Jera, we had our little on in speech therapy at 2 (he could only speak like 10 words) and by the time he turned 3, he was talking at a 5 year old level
That does help, matty, thanks... also talking with movieman lifted my spirits a lot... he was not diagnosed until his 20's & he copes quite well
my boys (twins) have may b-days but were very premie...so we're gonna wait and start them at 6 yrs. I think it'll help them out
Your son is awesome, Jen, I'd never have guessed he'd ever had a problem.
{{{aw shucks!}}} Thanks Jera!
have you tried signs or pictures with him to help with the frustration?? I know it sure helped my little one
Do you need special permission for that in your state, mamabook? Here in Virginia we need a special waiver to delay starting kindergarten... we shall see if Gwyd qualifies
We are doing some sign language... what happens with pictures?
Still after the wh 5/20 that isn't a street walker...
yot
nope. kindergarten isn't mandatory so as long as we start them the following year (in k or 1st)there's no problem.
Where are you, may I ask?
Illinois...take pics of everyday things...sippy cup, potty, plate of food, etc...laminate them and put magnets on the back of them. stick them on the refrigerator. then he can bring you the pictures when he wants something. you start to ask him to say the words when he brings them, and then phase them out as he can say them...works great for frustration.
matty..it can be two words
That's very interesting... I have no training, which frustrates me as well...
pics are easier for children who have motor delays since signs can be difficult
i have a terrific speech therapist...and i've researched on the web
Oh his fine motor skills are excellent... loves to draw, work with clay... he can write all his capital letters & numbers!
Not the street walker (wh5/20) - I have that one.
it also works for little ones who are stubborn and don't want to do signs
Hurrah - got it. Driving me MAD
matty Imeant the one yu are looking for can be two words
Matty, the other 5/20 looks like it should be 2 words... in a wedding ceremony the preacher will say wh....ever can find just cause that these 2 people, yada yada yada
Thanks - finally got there. Whew! (which is NOT in the grid :)
Good clue, Jen!
Can I have a clue for the un7/8?
un + th 5/20 and the 8 = un + th 6
thanks!
any clue for the in 7/48?
yw!
un7 & qualifies as stupidest words of the day...
Oops, left out the *
LOL, 8
lol I agree Jera...wish I knew how to do it!!!
brb his majesty awakens...
Kateq - accompanied by a quill

Good Morning Breakfast Babblers :)
good morning faeriekae
Morning faerie!
Morning Abe :)
Morning Jen *sprinkle*sprinkle* :)
uhm; make that afternoon here, (((((faeriekae)))))!!! :-)
Morning Inge :)
'Breakfast Babblers'? as it that's the only time zone in the world? :-P
I formally protest tonk not being a word! What about honky tonk?
{{{Mikey}}} Good afternoon :)
Inge!!! :-)
Hallo, Faeriekae! Lovely weather yet.
Mikey no but todays icon them is breakfast foods.
i think 'wank' should be a word, no? having a British father and family from his side in the London area, i've heard and use that term a lot.....usually with an 'er' or 'ers' on the end of it! ;-)
Mikey, wie ist das Wetter in Berlin? Did you read about the pasticitor factory to go uo in Guben? Thats where we spent the war, in Guben, not the factory.
Inge I love it....I'm going to mow my yard today and it is the perfect weather for it. Slight breeze and yet nice and warm :)
Mikey - I just tried 'wank' myself LOL
Mikey, i meant plasticitor, who preserves bodies by pasticizing them.
Inge are you seriuos?
BTW Mikey did I chose a good breakfast food or what?
zzzzzzzzzyes, that guy has a factory going in China and now wants to open up one in Europe. With 22% unemployment in guben, its a perfect locaton, The locals are a bit shocked.
ja; it's nice here, Inge.....a warm 23°C, and sunny today; so, spring has *finally* arrived, at long last! :-) and ja, Inge; that is soooooo disgusting!!! :-( what is the point of that, anyhow???
morning/evening FINISHED!
I cant imagine much of a market for his services
hmm, faeriekae? what breakfast food is that; how should i know what you had for breakfast? :-/ lol
{{{MrP}} howdy :)
mrpresident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! :-D
Diving mack into grid 64 to go
no kidding, Inge; that's just sick!!!!! :-(
Hi, faeriekae, Hi Mikey
{{{Scatty}}} Hi, how are feeling today?
where have you been faeriekae, been looking for you, how did the stone moving go
as always, shitty
LOL
I'm sorry Scatty...just sounded funny coming from you.
trying to get out in the greenhouse, but there isn't any room for me to work out there at the moment
the damp weather has been hindering
how many have you got so far
Scatty the rocks are all in place and it looks fantastic. I really enjoyed myslef. And I really wasn't sore at all. I know how to move heavy objects without hurting myself.
i've just started, didn't you have any bisters
I just started so I've only got 31wrds so far...
Nope no blisters
blisters
I'm used to doing manual labor
i'm going to try and catch up, heads down, looking
I'm in to play! Good morning everyone!
{{{{Music}}}} Good Morning :)
Morning MM!
Music I see your still running the Derby LOL
{{{{faerie}}}} {{{{Jen}}}}
i used to be ok with manual, living on a sheep, apple, and corn farm, really enjoyed being outside all the time, but dad sold up about 15 years ago, still miss it
Nope that is Scrimshaw:-))
right i'm going to find some words, can't chat and look at the same time, will keep an eye on the grid
Whaddya mean we can't have yonks - as in "I haven't seen him for yonks and yonks!" grrr
Music congrats on the new furniture :)
Good Day everyone. Any clue for en7,36, I am tired of monkey typing to find it!!!
Me too Scatty
Thanks! We are loving it. We have never had new furniture - ever!
HI Rump :)
Hi Rump. I just started - can't help you. Sorry:-((
Music isn't it nice having something that no one else has had thier feet on LOL
i have 2 x an's...does anyone know about the third a?
Yes it is Faerie. I didn't really realize how worn out the other couch was until I sat on this one last night.
Rolin I am also just getting started sorry
Hi Faeriekae, going to babble a bit before going to Dr. to get hubbies eyepatch off and have a check of the eye.
Rump how did that go?
Next big purchase will probably be either carpeting or bedroom furniture for Greg and I.
hi, scatty and musicmom!!! :-)
three a's a spice, an egyptian symbol and its plural
Music - go for the furniture....
Just found the en7/36. it is entirely in the lower left hand quadrant of the grid.
That's what I'm thinking. BTW - did you get rid of your ghost?
yup
hint .... the 3rd letter looks like a cross.
:-/
Oh good! Funny - I thought about that while I was on vacation.
And I still have my furniture
EVEN better!
ok; i'll try that again.....hi, scatty and musicmom!!! :-)
HI Mikey! How are you!
?
hi, musicmom; not bad thanks.....and you? :-)
Very good thanks!
great; just what i like to hear! ;-)
Mikey how are you feeling Hon?
ja, not too bad at all now, Faeriekae; that weather front moved out, and we have nice sunny, warm weather here again! :-)
yo 5/14?
it's 23°C today; perfect!!! :-)
Ohhh Mikey sounds wonderful. We are having a very beautiful day here as well.
Mikey - Good - The weather makes such a big difference huh.
Hi Mikey, weather still nice over there, my friend phoned from Bielfeld yesterday and said it was really hot over there
i'm off over thre for a couple of weeks in August
Matty - yo5/14
Matty - yo5/14
over ***der+verb form of to be
Music great clue - thanks :)
yw
oh yes, musicmom and faeriekae; it is lovely.....and indeed, it makes a big difference!
Sorry - what's the yo clue?
Mikey - I know what you mean. When we returned home Saturday it was overcast and chilly. I had the hardest time getting motivated to do anything.
Mikey my MSN is acting up it won't let me sign in has something to do with my Norton protection? Any suggestions.
Okay, it's time for me to hit the gym and try and sweat this head cold out of me. TTFN! :)
over ***der+verb form of to be
Bye Jen. Good luck. Head colds are no fun.
Got it - thanks. And anyone know what THAT means? LOL
See ya later Jen :)
yo5/14 = A stylized representation of a vulva worshiped as a symbol of a goddess or Shakti.
You asked:-)
ROFL
drop the s for a yo4
MIKEY!!!!!!
Okay --- I obviously missed something.
I'm refreshing:-)
No I'm just trying to get Mikeys attention *teehee*
You are ornery!
Made you refresh for no reason .
LOL
Is that a scrimshaw strawberry?
It reminds me that I have strawberries to clean for dinner.
Yup
yummmy huh
Yup - I'm bribing my girls with strawberry shortcake because they are not going to like dinner tonight. They have to eat vegetables sometime though:-)
Is todays theme breakfast foods or am I totally lost? I like strawberries for breakfast.
I thought today was scrimshaw = hence the horse.
How is whoo not a word? Now the owls can't speak.
oh i have no trouble with that...
LOL TO. I think you should file a discrimination suit.
LOVE Strawberry shortcake...sounds good.
ooh - yoink's in the puzzle! what are the odds of that! and i haven't seen him in ages!
Me too faerie. I have a special secret weapon too because I have cool whip to put on top.
I haven't seen him either TO.
ja; i know, musicmom.....and i can't call anyone a 'wanker' either! :-P lol
brb phone
not that i'd call anyone here that; no, of course not! ;-)
I noticed that Mikey:-)
Riiiigggghhhhttttt!<wink wink?
Whew... that took longer than I thought... his majesty required scrambled eggs with cheese & coudln't find his favorite shirt... crazy thing was, it was in the SHIRT DRAWER! No wonder he couldn't find it...
{{musicmom}}
LOL Jera --- what was it doing in the right place? Sheesh
I know, I know, the world's gone mad...
{{{jera}}}] I survived the Leader Daughter banquet last night. Had way more people show up than RSVP'd usually we have chicken left over - not last night.
Oh wow... I'm girding my loins for the Tea Party Saturday... everybody's mad at me cuz it filled up back in February...
I ended up using lollipops as the table favors. Had notes on them that said - 'Thanks for helping us LICK another year - enjoy the lollipop!"
We have a She and Me No Bake Off Saturday. I'm going to have to sign off here in a little while to sew napkin rings.
It's hard when events fill early. Send them up here we have too many patches ordered and they are dated so we can't send them back.
hmm, musicmom? aw; c'mon.....you *know* i wouldn't!!! :-(
I believe you Mikey<g>
But do you know that I wouldn't? hehheeee
Good morning all --- interesting theme today. I confess, I didn't know what "scrimshaw" was and had to look it up. How is the puzzle today?
Hi CH. I didn't know either. Not too bad so far but I just started.
hi, ch1212! theme? theme? there's a 'theme'?
*never knows what the theme actually is*
any hint for y5/22?
Cute idea for the lollipops... sounds like a good idea... we have some Girl Scout molds, we could make some trfoil-shaped ones!
kkiln -- do you need ya or yo?
That's a good idea Jera.
Dont the grey boxes indicate there are no words of that type in the puzzle? Like no words begining with E? - In which case why did I find a Y10?
Hi Mikey -- the 'theme' for the icons. Babbler puts up the short list on her profile page, but there is a longer list accessible through Angelsong's resource page. :) It's never an obligation, and in your case, I suspect many of the players would object if you removed you sweet face :)
We are having a Luau BBQ in my backyard for our Summer Court of Awards, also planning a Fathers' Day surprise, so the dads don't feel left out!
Quoth - there is more than one e and one y in the grid. The word came off another letter.
Love it Jera. We are doing a backyard Cof A too at my co-leader's house. We are doing a potluck.
Aha sorry I missed that - thanks
The girls are doing a friendship link with scarves instead of any ceremony with candles.
too bad whiskey isn't in there...
I'm back
I need yo...thanks
hi faeriekae!
My Girls love the candles... we made our own since we couldn't find exactly the right colors we wanted...
what you say when you hit your thumb with a hammer --- remember it doesn't start with sh or f <G>
{{faerie}}
bendamalina--the alcholic beverage is in there, just drop a letter
We did an all black (goth in the girls vocab) ceremony last year and had glossy black candles. One of our dad's made us wooden holders from a log out of my back yard.
faerie: you're making me hungry!
faerie: you're making me hungry!
The Sprite is going back to her old Troop for their fly-up ceremony (they are mostly 3rd year Brownies) she's singing Breakaway or Unwritten... hasn't decided yet!
We are avoiding candles this year because of being out side adn them not staying lit.
Thanks a lot....got it!
Jera that is very cool
Ooooh sounds awesome musicmom (the goth)... I'd probably get in trouble though!
DONE...anyone need a clue?
i already got that carrie...i didn't know it was a variant spelling...i thought it was a silly adjective-making of the thing for whipping eggs
bendamalina--that could be the case, I didn't look up the def
hurrah for Ouwachita!
yay, ouwa!
The field director's daughter is in my troop. She was not happy when the theme was announced. But, I reminded her that we are girl driven and this is what they chose by a strong majority. It ended up being very elegant -- we all wore solid black and all black candles. I'll find some pics and email.
Congrats OUW !!!
BRAVO Ouw
Getting coffee and emailing pics. BRB
Congrats Ouwachita! Any hints on any of the O's except the preposition one
For our Girl Scout Birthday Party in March, we got special permission to have candles in the Library, cake too, since food is usually not allowed. Hopefully we won't be too dry or windy mid-June. Of course we would obey fire bans, but the Girls would be disappointed...
Huzzah for Ouwa!
ouwachita....what about na4/4
Black & white is very classy. But I have to watch my step religion-wise. Some parents get very uptight & we do have that respect authority thing. I'm on thin ice enough with my banned books week celebration, LOL
carrie...and "emphasis" on "pigs" will help get some of them
na4/4...lots of vowels
Thanks Ouwachita. Any hints for the Y's except the ones referring to tugging??
Jera, I salute you! "Banned Books Week" -- love it! Your girls are lucky.
thanks Ouwachita....weird word!
yo/46 sounds likes a cellist and then the plural of it
bleh...i'm going to go make some coffee. I think I had a dream last night that I had eggs in my fridge...i could eat eggs for breakfast...*sigh*
When I went to see the Harry Potter movie, I wore my "I read banned books" t-shirt.
I do consult the parents about what books the Girls are allowed to read. I send home a list & say pick one to read. Then they write a report about why they think it was banned, if they think it was a good decision, etc.
:) I like that --- I could have one printed up with a list of banned books on the back of the shirt, like the kids do with graduating school classes. Yes, definitely.
I always get the packet from ALA
I have a T-shirt that says "good grammar costs nothing"
bye for now...work calls
I wish I could find seperate lists of banned versus challenged, though
Bye, Ouwa have a good one!
bye, ouwa! : )
I remember when i first heard about books being banned I was outraged (I was 11 or 12 at the time) and was determined to seek out and read every one I could locate. I was a bit of a rebel, but I had my mom's blessing, bless her.
Cute, matty!
anyone had any luck with the 7's & 8
I read Catcher in the Rye last year... Of Mice & men & Flowers for Algernon were dear books to me as a child!
I have the 8 & 1 of the 7's Ishult...
I'm still missing one 7. All the books you mention, Jera, rock!
what dp you mean banned books?
Books that people/parents protest are not appropriate for their kids to read so they think nobody should read them... *insert eyeroll here*
I've not found any. sure could use a point in the right direction from someone?
Ch I did the same thing -- read banned books. still need to email pictures. Got distracted by the laundry. BRB -- Jera - banned book week is a great idea. I'll hae to remember that for the Cadettes next year.
the 8 = un + th6/33... it is a plural
i just found 1 of the 7's, ishult
Me too, jera. The ALA has good info on banned and challenged books back through the 1990's. I loved "Lord of the Flies" and couldn't believe there were places that banned it.
aargh - not officially banned then. The only books that get banned over here are a threat to the national security (allegedly) the spycatcher is the only one i can think of. The cather in the rye is a classis
I didn't much care for Lord of the Flies, as I was teased a lot as a child.
thanks Jera, didn't know you could "un" that!!
er 7--removal of silt and soil by wind or water
Banned meaning removed from Library shelves, sandr. Not government censorship.
Ooh, I didn't have that one, benda, thanks!
I'm in a bad mood. meh.
any hints on the ou5?
One of the most famous 'baning' was Farenheit 451 from that town in 1998. And of course, classics like Huckleberry Finn and Grapes of Wrath. Unbelievable. (Oh, for those who don't know, Farenheit 451 is a book about those who ban books!)
i can't imagine books getting removed from library shelves either - what a nightmare -
no5/20?
451 is one of my favorite books EVER!! Always makes me cry...
whats wrong with Huck Finn?
Especially at the end in the colony where they memorize books
no problem jera...couldn't believe i found it so soon in my hunting...but i saw the greek love god, and then there it was
Well, anything Bradbury wrote tends to make me cry. His writing is an exquisite poem of the human heart.
I've never read Grapes of Wrath maybe that will be my book for 2006
nevermind, found it
sandr: goes to the whole federated replublic thing and states' rights . obscenity would bef defined by the community in which the material is located,,,
Huck Finn uses the n word for blacks.
The movies (Grapes) is heartrending.
You said it well, TO. And Jera, I love that the girls have to give a report and discuss why they think the book was banned.
hint on the no 5/20?
knutmeg...so maybe you can give me a hint on no 5/20...which No---top or bottom?
ty ch *beams* those graduate classes are paying off!
my god! you poor americans. It was written of its time when it was not considered politically incorrect, i think that people should take it in the spirit that it was meant. Wasn't Huck's friend black?
nowth
Jera. I'm back. I emailed you several pics from last year.
sorry wrong box
My point exactly, sandr... those who do not learn from history & all that...
Trying to rewrite history smacks of another banned book... 1984!
Ah, Orwell!
Holly - I'm sorry you are in a bad mood. Can we help?
His other classic "Animal Farm" was considered a banned book in several communities. One of my teachers had us read it because of that status.
now 1984 is a classic. Orwell Rocks. I also like Aldous Huxleys Brave New world - bet thats on the banned list too1
I love both those books sandr.
jera: never mind revisonist history - media concocts revisionist news! LOL!
Oh yes, Brave New World ROCKS!! The movie... not so much.
Do you remember the miniseries of Brave New World? It was beautifully done, in the late 70's if I remember correctly.
never saw the movie.
I can't see DavVinci's famous man without thinking of BNW -- the copy of the book I read had that on the cover.
The only movie I suffered through (BNW) was where the savages were like nomadic cowboy punks. Very odd & not at all true to the book. Or even the spirit, IMHO.
what about to kill a mockingbird? they can't ban that one surely
They use the n word in that one, too
no 5/20... i don't get it
I don't think Harper's book has been widely banned, although possibly in some Southern communities.
sandr: i grew up right outside of NYC. we banned nothing
Yep Sandr - that one is on some banned lists. Sarah just had to read it for school though.
It's at least been challenged
banning books should be banned -
I agree sandr.
but now there is the concept of political correctness
My beloved had never read "To Kill A Mockingbird" nor has he seen the movie. But he's led a sheltered life up until he married me :D
and what plays in NYC might be offensive in peoria
Check out http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooks week/bannedbooksweek.htm for lists, materials, discussion... very cool website...
I think there are some definite flaws in the concept of political correctness though.
thanks for the link Jera.
books are essential - they teach you lots of things, stuff political correctness! there is a time and a place for getting rid of bigotry and prejudice but the written word is a recording of language at that point in time. The books should be read for there themes and perspectives, beautiful prose and the emotions they inspire - am gettting off me soap box now.
Oh, I live in South Central Idaho, where the dominent religion is LDS, and Republicans are considered the "liberal" party :) ... The movie "Brokeback Mountain" didn't come to the theatre until MONTHS after it came out, and then only because it was nominated for so many awards.
i agree, mm. i also beleive the pendulum is swinging back
I hope so TO.
temple owl: from your mouth to god's ears
That's the new one set up for fall. BBW 2006 in other words. Still old posters though
One of my favorite HP quotes made the poster... When in doubt, go to the library!
Living in a college town that is in the center of rural appalachain communities we get both sides of coin.
well i have just begin to realize what a dinosaur i am at 55...
okay, back to babbling for me for at least a few minutes! And TO, if you're a dinosaur, then I'm a fossil :D
LOL CH!!!!!
and thank u everyone for the discussion!
Re political correctness... it's a shame when common courtesy has to be regulated...
Yep back to the grid for me as well. I only have a little while more and then I need to do some other gs stuff.
Amen Jera
jera: do you still have common courtesy in your locale?
whoops - work calls - BBL!
You know you're in the handbasket heading south when you have to be so nit-picky about what is respect for others.
I'm back!
Not with all the construction, TO, LOL
Anyone got any ideas about SE 5:10 please?
WB, amandacath!
Definitely Jera.
I have no se's, sorry...
so, to be politically incorrect, how come a slang british term for self-pleasure isn't legit ?
I don't have any se words yet. Sorry:--(
Oh I know that se word. It is the same as a school's name se Hall.
that se has been in the grid about three days running - strange. There's a US college called Se*** Hall (I think), or an English boy's school with an s at the beginning
any ideas about ou5/12
Thanks, amandacath!
ou = bird
I have an idea about that ou, but I would be banned if I said it ;>
Thanks amandacath!
If you're thinking the belly-button word, Jera, I wouldn't ban you - but it still isn't an Enable word
Oh the things I think about that ou word don't start with ou... it's eluding me very neatly...
I need two wi - not the ones that are involved with the latin 'cum' if you see what I mean...
Never mind - got them.
And welcome back, fellow Babblers!!!!
Hi Movieman!
*looks blankly at matty* I don't get the Brit dirty stuff..
{{movieman}}
i need help
lol, Jera, cum is latin for w**h
like when someone gradtuates cum laude
Ohhhhhh. I get it, LOL
mattygroves... a hint for wi 6/33
kkiln --- we are wi6/33 the chat log. It's a preposition
Back to Banned Books... I love the Mark Tw5/18 quote: Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.
jera I love that!!!!
brb
twank
sry
lol
It's on the back of the BBW t-shirt
it isnt a word neway
almost girlfriend, add a consonant
great quote, jera -- must remember that.
hey thanks!! I never would have gotten that!
twank? (good morning everyone!)
{{harpjane}}
Good morning Babblers
NO way is that tw a word. Sheesh. Thanks for putting it in the wrong spot girlfriend.
morning, harpjane! Do you have the rain we got yesterday?
Morning all new comers.
I think I need an et6/21 - someone said earlier there was one that sounded like fuel but I can't find it. I've got the heritage one and ditto Musicmom on that tw word!
what do some of these words even mean?!?!?
click on the question mark next to the word and you'll go to a dictionary (If you're lucky, the word will be in it)
If you click on the ? beside the words it will take you to the word in the dictionary. Some of them come up with no def.
Click on the little question mark beside the word & it will take you to dictionary.com
LOL
Great minds amanda and jera.
We'll help you to death here...
haha thanks....three times. LOL
mmm "hinky" is not recognized as a word. It is here in the outback of Idaho, as in "There's something hinky about this here situation ... maybe we best ride softly and be prepared fer trouble."
haha ch --- I use hinky too.
It was one of the first words I "found."
lol ch!
no one's biting on my et6...?
anyone watched the david blaine thing????
I don't have it amanda.
amanda: A highly toxic, liquid organophosphate pesticide
mimie, I did not but heard about it -- has he escaped yet?
is he the magician in the bubble guy? What's magical about staying underwater with a scuba tank?
yup, he couldn't break the record......
amanda, it ends with a common ending, like Tuxedo Junct***
thanks Harp
don't know but he sure made millions doing it........thought it was a waste of air time......
the magical part is getting sponsors and tv ratings!
LOL harpjane!
Gotta take a break with 48 left... my son has watched enough TV... time for homeschool!
Bye Jera
Well, whadaya know - now I know what A highly toxic, liquid organophosphate pesticide is called

Oh, sorry for the misinformation- I was thinking of the WH6
Good day dear everyone.

Hi bex!

yeah, but it wouldn't rhyme!
ooh

hurshy o from the left is a bird away french salt minus cross letter.
It's a European thrush. kind of a blackkbird.

bye hursh!
does anyone have any hints for the oh4?
ARB try amanda LOL
oh 4 looks like a midwestern state with a different vowel at the end
oh4 US state, change last vowel
ARB un7: think Unspeak in 1984, it's along those lines, *** before you speak
WARNING! I'm getting silly now: would "to to6/21 the o5/12" be in that long list of euphemisms for the w word we all want to be accepted but isn't?
amanda, LOLOLOLO!!
thanks for oh hints--just got it and never would have gotten it!
Would you believe I had the un 8 and not the un 7 ?
Hello. Any clue on the in7?
Charm - writing liguid + what's on a rhino's nose....
oh, well done movieman!
Movieman! Thanks bunches. I was looking left....
wow...didn't even know that was a word!
OH4 -- when you check the dictionary, it asks if you meant the midwestern state! LOL!
thanks for that movieman! :)
YW, all.....
I just upgraded to pro - could somebody tell me how I get to the list that shows the word letter and point count for words I haven't found yet?
Help needed on the last th 5/12 and the last th 621
Speaking of pro...I have a question to raise to the Doc.
Welcome segCurly -- go to Babblers Anon or Lickety's clues -- links below.
seg, go to the bottom of the screen to Babbler's Anonymous or to Lickety's page
the last th5/12 I've got is the thing on a rose, ARB, but I don't know if it's the last one
seg - there's a link at the bottom of the page called "Lickety's Babble Clues"......
welcome to the pro's seg!
Also Angelsong's Babble page will tell you everything you need to know.
Amanda - I think there's one after that
Or just before it
Amanda - change the last letter to a hoop.....
TY Movieman
thx Movieman - got it just as your clue appeared
yeah mm...had no idea that was a word either *feels ignernt*
how ridiculous -- has to be an americanism, as in u.s.
The last word I need -- to 5/12
You're ALL welcome......:)
Damn - I keep asking questions, then never seeing the answer, as pesky work intervenes! I'm on the un, but not the silly long ones.
Good Morning All!
Another bird, ARB?
morning ladybug.
Two to birds?
Two, two two birds in one grid!
ARB - I've got a to5/12 that rhymes with what you do with a divining rod
lol now this is funny....I woke up this morning when I dreamed that somone sh 4/5 me.
No -- one to bird
wait a minute, we can't use "wank" but there's a "stylized representation of a vulva goddess" word? where's the justice????
kn 5/20 pleeease?
"stylized representation of a vulva goddess" - HUH?!
never mind, I monkeyed it
kn5/20 - think NYC & yiddish snack, often made with potato.
Just the first un 5/12 for the un left
ty though
jbp's right matty - there is one, in fact two of them
Fireworks have erupted
to not lease any more matty
in my irate-ness, I kinda shortened the def (A stylized representation of a vulva worshiped as a symbol of a goddess or Shakti.) but still......
YAY ARB!!!!
BRAVO ARB
yay arb!!
Matty, like the empty apartment yesterday!
Yya ARB!
helllooooooooo, Babbleland!

Hi Angel!

Hi Angel
Hello, Angel!
'sith' is a word - just not in today's grid....
sith
I've spent some time this morning making a new firefox profile, and this one is the best ever :)
oh *blush*
sorry -- wront window!
any clues for the er7?
wrong window!
woes
sorry, didn't move my cursor again!
er7 - based on the er4, but means losing ground, literally, to rain, etc.
now with all of the silly words why isn't wank one?
TY Charm!
it happens to most of us ladybug. I'm happy you
are not sad.
life has a way of doing that to you. can't let everything get you down! We're only human!
Allright - somebody tell me what my last k is. I've got 3x4/8, 4/12, 5/20 - what's missing?
another 4/8 amandakath
another 4/8 amandakath
k 4/9
I'm missing one sh5/12 in the group of 3. I've got the coast and the sheep word, but can't monkey the other.
it's a kh4/9 amanda
k 4/9 - sounds like a peck on the cheek
k4/12
sorry
right now i'm in a dead end job and a :( situation......tom. will be better.........yah sure.........
Yay - gray k box! Thx all
Good afternoon/morning all.
sh 5/12 has to do with what you wear on your feet
seg, did you find the letter lists you needed?
Hi Haz! Welcome back
Shalom Haz
There's a panto widow in the grid! Will wonders never end...
Gwen: The person who works on horses' feet
Thank you - I didn't intend to be away for so long but had internet problems.
hi haz.
hi all! back to spend a little lunch time with the gang!
oer
Hello Haz. :)
Good morning all, hope you are all well. How's the grid today?
good thing i'm a lousy typist! LOL!
Well -- Later All!
I've already got the person who works on horse feet.
Hey Haz and everyone :)
Good afternoon Hetty. Not bad. Not great
it
FMitch - have I missed anything? I felt very twitchy not being able to get onto the internet!
it's hard to see who's here with the short log...
I'm here but focused on the grid at the moment
sh 5 -- an unbelievable plural for what you wear on your feet -- monkey typed till I got it and LOL with the definition
LOL that is a bad sign Haz. Don't know as I have been working and only got back to the log a short while ago.
Ah well - on with the grid. I've got the list out....
how many tw words are there, please?
ARB, please tell me more about the unbelievable plural. It must be what I'm missing.
There are 2 tw words
clues for the 2 n's starting with the n in the bottom right corner?
Gwenski, double the vowel and add a vowel
no -- Yiddish word for a bite to eat
ty arb...
one of the "n"'s is the work for 12:00 in the day
got that bunny...
"sh 5 -- an unbelievable plural for what you wear on your feet " heh?
Gwenski, oops -- double the vowel and add a consonant
hmmmm i have a tw 5 for two...is there a count and or definition for the other?
owie doesn't work :(
Thanks again everyone. See y'all later & happy babbling.
How about the word meaning zero?
bye, charm!
tw6 - a panto widow
AAH! That helped a lot! (Big difference between adding a vowel and adding a consonant!)
I got that too... but I still show only 1 out of 2 for the corner N...
For some wierd reason I knew that sh-word - I think it was on a vocabulary list in high school for a Shakespeare play, or maybe Chaucer, and somehow it stuck
mermaid --- do you have the one that 1-1?
Hey sprite how are you? have you finished yet?
no 6/21 , but I just can't come up with a clue without using part of the word...
Mea culpa gwenski -- the mind went one way and the fingers another!
However did the panto get onto the grid?
ty mm...is that barbaro?
no 6/21 anybody plse?
That other corner-N word is a bit strange. Anit-utility?
Mermaid, do you have the no 4/5 which is a snack?
*anti
nope it is scrimshaw --- for the them today.
I'm gonna try no + use first letter aain + you light the f*** on dynamite
no ...french for ours plus vowel
aain = again ...
nope sorry
Amanda you may be remembering what Ophelia sings on her way to her drowning--"How shall I my true love know?" (One of the answers being his *****)
nope sorry
that anti utility clue works! Thanks
no6...french for ours with begining letter inserted plus a vowel
I need to have more coffee before my brain will work properly.
That's it, Hetty! Thanks for jogging my memory!
what is panto?
I know what panto is (I think), but I'm not sure what it has to do with the grid....?
Think of the Widow Tw....
panto, short for pantomime and there is a pantomime charachter inthe grid today
...and I propose that "enth" be a word - as in "to the enth degree"
But what panto does she appear in?
Who is always played by a man, cuz that's how Panto is (I loathe panto. Guess you had to grow up with it)
I guess I don't know anything about pantomime
Is she Mark's widow?
i wholeheartedly agree, amanda
Alladin?
about the enth thing, that is
It's an ancient drama form (drawn from Commedia dl Arte) which has as a stock chatacter the "dame" (transvestite part for a Benny Hill type male) and in she's often named Widow Tw****--a clue there
I tried yoink, from Pinky and the Brain.
This is going to annoy me until I find out.....
bunny ROFL - so did I !!!!
At least I'm not the only one!
I tried it several times as well, bunny
You're right, FMItch - Aladdin it is.
Haz, I remember ths widow in "Jack and the beanstalk", which I saw at the Dudley Hippoodrome in 1941
well, i never would've gotten that word without the hint, i would never have gotten the hint without a google search
I used to have my kitchen decorated in Pinky and the Brain (mind you I was 17).
I was dragged to many a panto as a child
i AM BACK TO FIND MY LAST 9. What brought me back is finding the wo5/30 word in a Free Press article. Who says these words dont get used??!!
I never would have gotten it either, except that someone did the "forget-to-change-boxes" thing earlier with it
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here; it's got to be simple, but I can't find the first NO 4,4 word. Help please?
When I came to Canada one of the produtions I created for Children's Theatre was a British panto. Actually did several in Saskatoon Saskachewan, of all places
I better go plant the last of my flowers while it isn't raining. Back tomorrow (hopefully).
Merk think Christmas
first no4/4: christmas
I guess I've heard the term many times before, but never really figured out what it means
"Thuh-uh fi-hirst ***, thuh-uh angels did say..."
bend: which hint did you google? i think that's my missing tw
I googled the words 'widow' and 'pantomime'
I have the Christmas one and it's plural. There's another before that one, I think.
TY!
No there isn't
Hence the name, The First No** :)
no problem. we're not british, so how should we know about these things, temple owl ;)
hee-hee, Gwen!
I have that Xmas carol and it's plural, but there is another one before that alphabetically that I am missing with NO 4,4
I have that Xmas carol and it's plural, but there is another one before that alphabetically that I am missing with NO 4,4
bend: i input several times that word without its last letter!
any help with the ou word?
hmm...well, i guess i'm the only one here who is ignorant of british pantomime, then :D
Merk, there are two n's before Christmas, but one's na and the other ne
ARB's finished, so she must be right, Merk. There's a noble gas before christmas...?
no, bend...someone accidentally input into the log and i followed!
Isn't the gas NE
Yes, the gas is NE
Benda --- if a place is really fancy it is called sw6 --- change the first letter to a t
haha, temple!
and the ou?
Yep, it is, and the na is a babblet: has to do with temples, if I remember correctly
the ou is a bird, Temple
I'm going according to Lickety. It shows an NO 4,4 before the Christmas carol and its plural.
thanks musicmom, but i've gotten the word. now i'm just puzzling over the origins, and the previous clues
so everyone says....but a european one : (
Merk, not according to my Lickety list and I'm all finished and I'm telling you there are no NO words before the Christmas and its plural
OK, thanks. I'm tired; I'll recheck my spellings and list.
Grr, I had it. Thanks for your patience and help.
the bird rhymes with to6/21, temple
getting sew stuck - re 5/10 or re 6/18 please
Thanks amanda --- I found the bird and then the to
how many letters please?
for the ou? 5
re 5/10 and re 6/18 are built on the re 4/4 before them.
yw, musicmom re5/10 = french pension, 6/18 = pl
I'm missing one from the top N: have the temple thingy, the pieces of paper, and tidy cows - what's left?
I haven't got any from the top N - akkkk!
tidy cows?
ty mm and all for ou! and to!
ditto?
believe it or not - the definition is "neat cattle"
tidy cows?
no way!! : D
Way!!!
okay I'm going to the reverse dictionary
That could be cattle without water.... What reverse dictionary??
...and temple just said the last one from that n!
amanda - have you got the no5/22, I thought it was 2 words and you will say this word when you find it. TO!!!! you used a word
onelook.com has a reverse dictionary. You type in the def it gives you long lists of words.
Cool
matty - it helps me but sometimes can be too many words. I haven't found a way to limit it. Like with the french pension. I'm not seeing it.
and i learned that that is where neatsfoot oil comes from! what a wonderful game!
correct me if I'm wrong: is the tidy cow word also a british dialect for a word that means nothing, zero?
You are correct, Amanda - particularly northern British, which I am sure SueMagee could confirm!
THAT'S where neatsfoot oil comes from! Thanks, Temple!
LOLOLOL!!!!!
this grid is too funny!
amandacath..do you have the plural of the paper, or the singular of the papers?
anyone have a clue for el 4/4?
you better find it or el**
got all the n's, finally - thanks to temple's exclamation
*takes a bow* YW!
yay amanda. I'm still missing one n from the 4th row
Okay taking a break. Be back again soon.
wait wait catch me up i need these tidy cows and something about neatsfoot oil
MM - there's one that goes right along with the exclamation from the top row...?
Fireworks for Inge. Hurrah! I will gladly cule for a while.
i am having a stupid day...i kept looking for an ou bird that rhymed with tw6! this chat goes too fast!
yay, inge!
Welcome back, Hursh! Neatsfoot oil comes from tidy cows (have fun with that)
amanda - the "neat cattle" word is a northern dialect form of the word "nothing".....
but i don't have the tidy cows...
Yeah, I know movieman, but tidy cows is funnier!
Hi all sshhhhhhhh Im not really here!
is this no, then? and how long?
no4, hursh
What Matty said down there about the tidy cow word, there's a saying in this part of the world " If thee ever does owt of n*** do it for theesen."
Hurshy, it is the last of the no's
in holland no tidy cows so far! LOL
got! ty.
*whispers* hi caitlyn...
why is "nooner" not allowed?
suemagee; plese speak english..i don't speak british
so what's "theesen", sue?
amanda any more help with that n on the 4th row?
hey temple - question for you... did you think someone was a troll yesterday, or were they just bothering you?
"I ain't gonna do it, no5/22, no5/20"
i get it suemagee, i can read that! yay!
aha! thanks!
i did not know...leaning towards that
Sorry Temple Owl - I speak Yorkshire!
SueMagee - whereabouts in Yorkshire are you from?
i would just like to say, you babblers are giving awesome clues today. much appreciated!
LOL SueMagee, that was word perfect!
like all creatrues great and small - aren't the dales in yorkshire?
turned out not troll, definitely - and i think i managed to tidy him up a bit :)
movieman - I live on the edge of Ilkley Moor.
good job, hurshy! : )
... bar tat? SueM
:)
And yes, the dales are in Yorkshire - I live in Wharfedale.
B'ah tat - without a hat.
looks like beautiful countryside
I asked 'cos my family on my mother's side come from Rotherham!!!
thanks Hurshy, I think I was there (ce****)
Not too far away the!
I kn*** SueM I remember the song from chidhood
lol inge
T'int in tin.....it isn't in the tin.....
anyone else finding the T's troublesome? 17 to go and 6 of them are T's!

I must say some of the scrimshaw icons look a bit rude !!

the site is being slow, inge, that's all...doc must be doing some work
yes abe
site is very very slow today
sincerest apologies on posting a bazillion times- just my luck
Holy cow, that was a big server burp. One of these days I'm going to finally figure out what's causing those. :\
Well folks, I read back in the log ---and apologize for hogging so much space. I thought nothing would come through. Now I am leaving in order not to cause any more waste.
Good morning, all
No prob. Dr. _God. Is that what was giving me a message that a script on the page was causing Firefox to run slow?
gm smanthha joy
Probably, musicmom
Don't leave Inge - I don't think it was you!
Okay then I won't send you a message<G>
What happened! Where did you all go?
did I say something wrong? I lost my connection for a couple of minutes
something not right with site today
just keep in mind people, sometimes things are slow, but your words will show eventually, don't keep hitting enter :)
Dr God - got no word list. Refresh doesn't clear up the problem
Keep trying, Cmith. It should show up.
hey doc did you get my amusing email this AM?
hurshy, how's it going on those t's? 4 of my 19 left are also t's...
Yes, hurshy. Thanks.
ah, i see it's fixed.
I've got a brain cramp today. I don't think this grid should be this hard.
amanda - still 6 to go, couldn't do anything while the site was hiccuping
ARB said the TH's were weird and all mine are normal so far so i'm trying those
hi Dr G:) 49 members are on the map! looks really awesome:)

lol now that's different...I almost typed some for chat, in the word box, instead of the other way round
ohmi goodness - thanks very much everyone!
amanda - just discovered an odd th 5/12 6/21 combo
well, spill a clue . . .
what u need
Heh. I have 101 words left, there isn't much I don't need. I was talking about hurshy's combo though
antonio banderas/katherine zeta jones movie with a lisp? and add a cons for 6
nice clue
lol hurshy
Hello, new to this. Can you please tell me where the instructions are?????
there's some under help, above, and you can check out angelsong's babble resources or babblers anonymous
you have to make words
great clue Hurshy
lol
under angelsongs babble page
Thank you
but the words have to be real ones
gardnerpaints, you have to find words by linking adjacent squares. There's a help icon above the chatterbox.
can't be made up
another odd th - sounds like the son on the cosby show
moses, are you making jokes?
*gasp* not jokes!
See, I rarely watch television or go to movies. Pop culture is a wash for me. NYF,though
thor
sorry wrong place
he's my favorite
you never saw the cosby show though??? wow.
who, abe, thor or the cosby kid?
cosby kid
oh u guys crack me up
i like sondra
No, I never did. And I'm not clear who CZJ is either--was she in Chicage?
yes she was
she was velma in chicago
what do John Prescott and an ikea flat-pack thing have in common? One screw in the wrong place and the whole cabinet falls over (UK joke :P)
atalante - i'm at the dreaded 14
i liked sondra too, she ws the smartest, but they didn't show her enough
do the Australians know about the map? When any of you meet one in the log, tell them about. We want greater distribution....
Hear Hear Atalante LOL
OK, but that's the only movie I can think of. And no, I never saw the cosby show
absolutely Inge!
I'm not really here *whispers* I just couldn't resist laughign at John Prescott
what map are you talking about
inge, would you tell ME about the map, please?
samantha - if you go to imdb.com, you can do a search that finds what movies two people were in together.
rosalind....it's a map of where all us babblers are located. www.frappr.com/babble
i'm not really here either.....or am i? *pinch*
Thanks tndaisy1960
I am in love with Ikea! We finally got one here in Atlanta! I love the kitchen stuff
Really? I'll be right back.
but i do agree with the furniture quality
w 6/51???? type of liquor...........
tndaisy I told you im not good at computers ..I got the site but it doesnt want me!! What code should i put in Hi Mikey
Personally, I think I am a figment of my own imagination :-D
uninformed american wants to know if john prescott is stupid (ie a screw loose) or if he did something (or someone) he shouldn't have done?
hmm; no.....i guess i'm not here, after all :-/
Atalante, I just read up on Mr. Prescott. Says he's learned his lesson! Sounds just like politics in the US.
did someone he shouldn't have
*shrugs and returns to grid*
{*Mikey*}
How do you do, Mikey?
ahhh... you'd think after clinton people would have learned
(((((Woulfie!))))) but, getting my nose back into the grid here.....gotta finish, gotta finish!!! :-P
the map is at www.frappr.com/babble. Doesnt always go through but keep trying. the Rest is self-explnatory
oh, hi Layne; pretty well thanks.....and you?
I said hi Mikey (I think you have trouble with your hearing)LOL
i am an American and have no idea who Prescott is?!?!?
it happens all teh time here, but prescott's was really quite impressive
How much you got left Mikey? -- I haven't started yet
Found it hurshy! Very strange
actually, i have a very funny joke to share with you all; but it would be a rather big post.....well, maybe not *that* huge, but bigger than normal? should i post it?
yep
Lovely day here in Louisiana, Mikey. We haven't met before, but I think I probably played my first game of Babble the same day you did.
i have 29 words left, Woulf.....been working at it a little here and there, on and off, since this morning!
Tag Mikey. Ich bin auch wieder da. I think that was a udo juergens song.
caitlyn...you have to sign up with frappr b4 you can add yourself. username, password, that kind of thing. yes it does want you!
oh, ok Layne; well, it's nice to meet you, then! :-)
eastmost penninsula is the secret

i'm lonely here too u know..........
OK Mikey, amuse us with your joke
In what?
A little boy asks his father, "Daddy, how was I born?" The father answers: "Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway. Your mom and I first got together in a chat room on AIM. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a cyber-café. I upgraded my floppy to a stiffy and then your mother agreed to do a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little Pop-Up appeared and said: "You've got male!"
:-P
very cute.................
Good morning, Grey Woulf. You're a figment of MY imagination too. So are you, Mikey. Love your story.
LOL Mikey
oh very cute Mikey, I like :)
lol; i thought so.....i received it via yahoo messenger from my friend Manish Jain in India.....so thank him! ;-)
Mikey,
okay, that is cheap, I finish the puzzle and because something is screwed up and itt takes a full minute for the last word to register, I don't get fireworks. *sniffle*
u guys make my day, gotta eat........
so was that autobiography?
Hello, mimie. I greeted you earlier but the message didn't appear. Good luck to you today.
;-)
hetty, you stole my theory of the internet :-(
hey, Hetty!!! :-D glad you're all enjoying it! ;-) it's not mine though, i'm merely passing it along!
thanx layne.......hello to u too....
huh, jpb? not very likely.....if you've read my bio? :-P
Hi Hetty :) My mama always said I had an overactive imagination! ;-D
Mikey, :-)
yes, Layne? :-)
gotta go -- da boss!!
I was laughing at your joke.
well, Woulf; i think that's probably a good thing.....
oh, ok Layne.....lol; i couldn't hear you laughing, though! ;-)
Right now the log is going slowly. Do any of you agree that soemtimes it is so fast it is hard to read???
howcome for why is the "become a friend of babble" link at the bottom no longer active?
yes!! always inge1
YES!
of course, some of you here already received that joke from me, when i sent it out to my entire contact list on yahoo messenger.....but a good joke's always worth repeating, no? ;-)
ja; i do find that sometimes, Inge!
thank goodness!! then it is not just old age setting in!
not like the sudoku log that sometimes doesnt even move for at least an hour
sorry - visitors popped in for a minute. Hursh, you still here?
hurshy never said she was going but has vanished off im too
a simple question: do all the et's start with the same four letters?
yes they do Munner
nope munner, but the same first 3
oops, same THREE letters
ok, that helps
how many er's and el's?
Too many!!!
two ers4 els
2 ers
4 els
hiya sha!
ok, that means my two missing e's are el's. Hmmmm.
Bex, are you really only 14 years old? My husband grew up in New Castle, PA, but his mother, a great UK fan, named her sons Berwick, Penrith, Dalton and Walney (with the help of an English map)
hi bex finished grid this morning just nipped in to see whos on
yes im 14. i have been to some of them places! :)
doncha just love it when you suddenly remember some ridiculous "nonword" from a past puzzle that shows up again? e.g. eo 5/10
hello hannah lou
those are the ones I call babblets, munner.
wow, ja; sorry Bex.....but a few days ago, when i was trying (as i've done with several others here) to add you to my messengers, i had no idea you were so young; i was really surprised to learn that! my apologies; but you could've said, then i wouldn't have asked in the first place? you don't come across as being such a young person.....and to do the grids here, wow; i'm impressed! :-)
is that eo word mostly vowels?
hello abtie sha
antie sha
hello han
i think my good friend Mary is about to join us all in here :-)
two-fifths vowels, musicmom
LOL thanks amanda.
eo + transgression
I'm down to 3 e words: first el 6/21, en 7 and one of the et6 /21. Does anyone have a wonderful clever clue for any of these...which will make me feel I really figured them out?
music - eo+ one of the 7 deadly ...
three fifths vowels, two fifths consonants
e + lu5/12
OH YEAH!!! Now I remember that word.
me too mm!
and el singular
howz u sha
Good day everyone!
ok han u?
hello mary

Hi Mary --- Okay so I haven't left yet. Still looking for that one stupid el6 --- the first one.
Mary --- just a friendly warning. We are a great bunch here but this is very addictive.
thanks, Sha... i would have gotten the German for movietheater, but not the currency one...
Musicmom - if you spoke a computer language, you would be el6/21 in it...
el+last vowel+2nd vowel then 2 consonants
Welcome to Babbleland, Mary
MM, when you know another language well, you are fl****. drop the f and start with el
Thanks Sha --- got it. Thanks Inge -- that helped.

It's all so easy, isn't it!!! :)
My mind is still idling today--had to get up too early. I got the el 6. Thanks for clues. Still need first et 6/21
Need help with the first to6/21, please?
Yes, but ... I actually have that one. I need the the to 6/21 that comes between foot digits and the Broadway award (:-)
any hint for the middle sh5/12?
It's all so complicated, isn't it!! :)
Miss Braxton, be quiet! to 6/21
We need the same one, ch!
Ch, it is an adjective based on the awards
when you wrestle with a dog
sh 5/12 - the old fashioned word for what women did when they fainted, change the second letter
I'm as******ed that that's a word!
not that one
ch...I thought that was a Dutch word...but I can't spell in ENglish, much less Dutch...
got it! Thanks inge!
I still don't get it...
tndaisy it probably is Dutch -- I was just giving a clue that might be recognized, not the definition (of which I have NO clue! :D
no6?
Jera, if I met you for cocktails say, around 5***, add that posh ending to the to*
Dutch? oh no; don't ask me to speak or spell in that language either, ach.....about all i can manage is to say 'alleen voor een beschuit kom je eruit'.....lol; and any Dutchies here who see that will *laugh*, i'm sure! ;-)
Thanks! That was a big enough load of bricks to fall on me, LOL
Jera, look at my 12:47 clue
omg...what have I started...?! lol
no6?
rish, the no6 took me forever! It's kind of a compound word... like, there is no*** trying to even explain it because you won't get it!! (:D
hello all where can I learn how to play this?
Yeah, Munner that's the one I didn't get... thanks for trying, though!
no6- not utilised
Hi xandra. Go to links at the bottom of the page.'
welcome, xandra! If you want great hints and links, at the bottom of the screen are links to resource pages --- ANGELSONGS is the best.
ok; i've been stuck on one word for a while now, and i'm getting ready to tear *all* my hair out.....'to5,12', anyone, please? :-/
gee, zajewel, that was a much better clue than the one I gave! Elegantly simple.
thank a lot!
:) why thank u ch1212
Mikey, that's the one Jera and I were stuck on. Your Broadway award first 3 letters, then 5*** posh ending (see earlier clues...)
Mikey - a French authour (..... Lautrec) without the stick
to5-12 - singular of lice, change the first letter
I like the new look, when did this happen?
Mikey, related to the GErman wrod "tosen",--would like to see you bald though. HE He
thanks AngelSong, that helped a lot
to 5/12 rhymes with what I think of my ex husband!
et 5/12 clue please? I didn't understand the earlier clues given a couple hours ago.
I have had to buy a wig since I joined Babble :(

and stuck there
thank you
en7 = en + th4/6 + 2nd vowel
no; i'm sorry.....those clues really haven't helped me yet, for 'to5,12'.....i just can't figure what could go after it, in alphabetical order, considering the letter the preceding word ends with? :-/
Cedarone, you have me thoroughly confused.
Mikey - it rhymes with what you do with a divining rod
th 4/6 clue
thanks, Jera, and to think it was a real word! Here come fireworks for me.
ronnielee - ergo
thin
opps - sorry wrong box
i used the clue as i read it
to 5/12 sounds like singular of mice, to 6/21 gets a stick letter in next to last place,
to5/12 - if you have the to6/21 remove the 2nd to last letter.
Huzzah for Munner!
ja; i'm also thoroughly confused.....still :-/
Mikey, if you didnt get any of those lcues, you need a break or a nap
i'm sorry, i still don't have any idea!!! :-(
or a mutated mouse
ok, I'm off - have fun all!
you people are crazy
Hi all! Guten Tag, Mikey! I just got home from my morning out... have a few moments while I eat my breakfast... sorry I missed you amandacath!
I am off as well to prepare for my student. See you all later.
oh and YAY Munner!
well, Inge; no.....the reason i didn't, is 'cos the word preceding ends in a letter near the end of the alphabet, and is only 1 letter shorter than the word i'm stuck on, so i can't see how anything could follow it, in alphabetical sequence, let alone anything that's like the clues i've seen here? :-/
bye inge...
Hi Everyone.. not sure I'll finish this one today but i can try :-)
hi, Stidmama; i'm not doing so well here at the moment.....i'm about ready to tear *all* my hair out! :-/
Hi Ginger!
mikey, I've practically given you the word
But Mikey when the ltter count differs they are not alwasy in complete appahbetical order
Mikey - to 5/12 = learning a skill is only helpful if you are going to *** it
any clues for any of the 5 u words? I'm blind to all of them...!
{{{Poor Mikey}}} grid getting to you again, huh?
et6/21?
Good bye. Later.
bis spaeter, Inge!
there are u words? *off to get Lickety's list!* brb
the opposite of tie
ok I've got two now... one is the preposition and one is shoelace related
Rish, did you get the et6/21? Also, who are you? Are you new to the chat room. Welcome
got it yet, mikey? :)
hi everyone
I am getting a lot of connection errors...
it's slow this evening
me too stid
testing...
no, Atalante; and it looks like i'm not likely to now :-( i mean, the words do go in alphabetical order, descending.....and the previous word is only 1 letter shorter, starts with the same first 3 letters, then ends with the 2nd to last letter of the alphabet; so logically, i can't see *anything* that could possibly follow it!!! :-(
i had serious connection problems with this page for several minutes there; and have only just now been able to do anything in it again, btw :-/
any suggestions for the yo words?
hi daisy!
:)
i wish, baobab; but i can't even finish the 'to' section :-/
still horribly stuck on 'to5,12' :-(
:-/ it's tough today
ahh, you have every rose has its "th***"?
oh duh, that's th
obviously, i'm not awake yet
well, apparently it's easier for you, baobob; if you're already on the 'yo' section?
no, i'm working haphazardly across sections, versus methodically through them
oh, ok
thank you baobab
Mikey, the to5/12 is the name of a bird, common in North America. Think of ***head , then add the thirs and second vowels
for the 2 long u words add a th word
thanks hettie
jetX is in the game!
what do u mean add a th word?
hint mikey..... it's no USE.
ja, Minski; i tend to agree, at this point :-(
no no look at the word I emphacized.
there just isn't *anything* possible, from the letters surrounding it, that would create a word to follow the preceding one in aphabetical sequence.....and i'm ready to give up, i really am :-(
wait wait mikey
i'm getting the clues
also try going across to the o on the left and not up to the diagonal o
i now have 5 of the 6 to/s...just missing the last to4/4
okay Mikey, I think I have it. you need to move off the third letter of the word and put the last vowel in... then a curvy consonant, then the second vowel...
It's not a common word, and rarely used in this form anyway!
mikey, do you have the to6/21 yet?
Yes. And it looks loke a rodent with a wrong first letter
one last hint....there is a nasty little mite that school age kids sometimes get in their hair and monkey pick off of each other. Change the 1st letter to a T.
ach; well if you mean what is sometimes a vowel, Stidmama, then there is no 'curvy consonant' anywhere around it ? :-/
'mornin' hetty (what's left of it, anyway), how's the sunshine up your way?
upside down n mikey
take the o to the left of the t
to + upside down n + snake...
tom is a cat, jerry is a ....
but with a t
make sure you have the correct o - it has to be the one left of the t otherwise it wont work
but Minski, that won't follow in alphabetical order?
*you can do it, Mikey*
i'm just really ready to pack this in.....it's impossible :-(
get the word, then worry about the alphabetical order!
*what baobab said*
H Stid. Beautiful day and my husband is out pulling broom(e). I'm finding knoiwing how to help Mikey very frustrating. Wish I had your gift for zoning in on good clues.
baobab; nothing i 've been trying works, so far; and if it's not in alphabetical order from the word above it, it won't go in there anyhow! :-/
rhymes with mouse?
i don't know; i'm starting to think i must be really stupid or something, if it's so obvious to you all, but none of this is making any sense to me? :-(
it fits between to broadway award and what you do to a kid's hair
Mikey -- what creature do cat's like to chase and play with?
I'm sorry, but "owie" is TOO a word. :)
me too, CadFan! I use it every time I prune the roses!
the first to6/21 is something that has the quality of a broadway award
ja, stidmama; but this is a 'to' word.....'to5,12'?
to plus the 3 letter word in minskys post : hint mikey..... it's no USE
yes, Mikey -- put a t where the m usually goes. *just try it*
don't worry about if it works, just enter it
sigh
the second to 6/21 is what you do to a kid's head, and inbetween the 6 letter words are the broadway award and the sounds like a small rodent but isn't--does that help with word order??
ja; so i understand, baobab.....but there's nothing in alphabetical sequence i've been able to see/find that fits that, there??? god; i'm ready to tear my hair out, i really am! :-/
sometimes if I understand a hint but can't find the word on the grid I just enter it and then find it later.
zajewel... there there.
ja, Minski; i would enter it, if i knew what it was? but i've even monkey typed everything possible :-(
Mikey -- there is NOTHING to understand... :-) {{{HUG}}} breathe, extend and relax --- now, type!
okay, list what you have mikey, we might be able to tell you where it fits in... that might be a better approach to problem solving in this case
to+letter that's opp of me+ curly letter+2nd vowel?
to + downward diagonally to the right + downward diagonally to the left + straight up
oh great bald Mikey - der vleiderm**** , drop the m and replace with a cross
TOUSE
can anyone help me with el4/4 or el 5/12?
LENA!!!!
hurrah at last
Sorry it just was KILLING me
oh well... anybody have clues for the two tw/ words??
:-)
kkiln.. we can try... all of us "baldies" here!
el 4/4 - do this or el**
but this is what i don't understand, Joyce; i have the first 3 letters, from the clues.....but there is no curvy letter around that area? :-/
tw5/18 - author of tom sawyer
Mark Tw***
el5=e+ a stringed instrument....
hi. never the tw... shall meet.
ok, got it
try a double curvy letter
mikey--how about the bottom left??
tw6 rhymes with the fabric square you put in your pocket to blow your nose into :-)
movie man have you got the other el5?
second tw/clue please?
thanks zajewel
none of the letters in that immediate area are curvy, other than one circular vowel :-/ that is if the first 3 letters spell something to play with, ja?
see my clue at 1:44
rolin - you mean apart from the one I just gave the clue for?
thanks l'aixoise
sigh
Mikey - you're working up the grid instead of DOWN
the letter that pluralizes most things
yeah movie man
de rien!
Mikey -- compass directions. start at T. go west to O. Southeast to the next letter (a vowel). southwest to the next letter, a consonant. North to the last letter, the second vowel in the alphabet.
thnk you, une
Is there a clue for the EN 7 word?
oh my god!!!!! i don't believe it.....i had the wrong vowel as the 3rd letter, all this time.....tried the one before it, and bam; got it right away.....and how stupid, it's a word i know very well already, too!!! :-/
Rolin - then no, I haven't.....
thanks Movieman for the el 5/12
well done stidmama!
ok; i'm sure you all want to strangle me right about now, don't you? :-( thanks for all your help!!!!!
*sigh*...ok..ill plough on and if i find it...let you know
*collapses in heap*
Okay......
any help with the A's??
good job, mikey.
I have the one that is a baking ingredient :)
nope but here's the fish. we all need it sometimes. {{{{hugs}}}} too.
an4/4 is a licorice flavor
a 4/4 - liquorice
2nd A word is Egyptian in origin, a symbol
HURRAY MIKEY ****FIREWORKS***
good job, Mikey. pickled herring anyone?
lol, Stidmama; that's pretty much what i almost did once i finally found the word, too.....collapsed!!! :-P
the fish?
Egyptian symbol of life: an4/9 and an4/20
*giggle* now can I go back to the grid for my words? :-)
i'm due several fish... i have 1/19 w words
lol, no; no fireworks *yet*, baobab; but thanks in a large part to the clues from all of you, i'm closer to that now! ;-)
of course, Stidmama; thank you all so much for trying to hard to help dense, clueless, no doubt infuritating me! :-/
I need help please with the EN 7
Mikey, consider yourself strangled. But think rather of the fun you've given all of us.
en7/36 en + something that rhymes with muse
merk - en7......to be excited about something....
no, i think overcoming your block -- especially one this size, merits fireworks
at last mikey - join the rest of us in passing the fish.....
merk, it's sort of a horseshoe shape at the bottom of the grid
clue for the re 5/12 please, currently driving me nuts, thanks
ok, Joyce; but you know i'm clueless.....so i don't 'get' the significance of that, either? :-p
en7 - when you start something new, you are very *****siastic - put a vowel on the end
Merk, en7 is a verb which exists only in America, back-formed from the word you know--en****iasm
to utilize again: re5
thanks ofr the A clues
an 4/9??
Egyptian symbol of life
once you get it, use it plurally
et 6/21?
thanks bunches!
Uneaixoise, thanks, so easy, right in front of my face..........thank you very much

ya4/10 what little brothers do to their sisters' hair

please, if you have connection troubles, to read my funny song and be cheered.
Hey people

JaynesGirl - tile stats are who many words there are coming off each tile, and how many you've found....

Run Mary, Run!
from the 8 and 7
hikids
Run, Mary Ellen, Run!!1
the 1st to6/21 plz....
thanks Haz... that did it :-)
noble... there are twenty of them... you need to look for awhile yourself first.
eo5/10 add 'wicked deed'
{{{{BOREETOS}}}}} I didn't see you at all yesterday! where were you?
fine.....Kirk
It's boreetos and movieman!
Oh yes, Michael and I met in Trivia years ago....and have become wonderful friends....now he has introduced me too Babble....
really i should be dr. crusher since i am a girl and have reddish hair
to6/21- mess someone's hair up.
rumplestiltskin -- the un 8 is the plural of the un 7...
oh well, spock
welcome Mary Ellen
Actually, that is the only to6 that I have, so it probably isn't the one you need.
Smithchick - I already have that one, I meant the 1st one....
lol, smithchick; trying to warn her to run away before the addiction takes hold, hmm? ;-)
And you're good in math and science, AND you're really nice when you can but tough when you must, Hurshy -- lots of similarities...
as it surely will.....
to6/21 - really heavy weight - like
I'm already possessed by the word
Movieman - put an as in front of your to6/21 to get a 'surprise' word
TY, Vicuna....
It's best that way, Mikey... That bunk about better to have loved and lost than never loved at all holds no water with me.
good clue vicuna
Glad you liked it, dinoshadow!
Movieman, think of what you need to put in your printer, it is called TO + 3rd vowel + snake + letter after "g"
thanx Stidmama, though for sure I had tried that and it wouldn't take it. ******FIREWORKS********
YAY rumplestiltskin!
WooHoo, rumple!!!
one last little bitty word... a w5... point total today please?
i am dying here on the NO last four.......and that is what i get for working up from the bottom
hurshy
2077 points
what are the two N words in the bottom right hand corner
ty haz
are you looking for the wo 5/30, hurshy?
wo5/30...a bit awry...something's a bit off...take wo4/12 and add a high-scoring letter
one is there aren't any (no benda) and one is a 3 letter prefix plus a word that means to employ (not employ a person, but a thing)
What other 7 is there besides en, er, and un? Please with sugar on top this time? It's about time for me to leave and do the dreaded sports mom thing.
The 2nd ho5/12 plz.....
no5/22 - The present time, and the beginning of the Scottish word for yes
I can't figure out the to 5/18... do I go up or down after the o?
no4/8 - present time plus letter that sounds like a drink
noble, did you get that? ignore the (no benda) part that was talking to bendamalina
could I have a clue for the no 6/21 please
one is a 3 letter prefix plus a word that means to employ (not employ a person, but a thing)
i dont get this one
i understand the prefix part
I've just found I'm unable to sift the last wh5/22 word from the grid. Has someone stronger eyes than I ?
Noble - make *** of
long way to ask for a clue hetty
wh5/22 - a sound made by wind, sounds like what you do on a star
how many letters is the whole N word?
wh 5/22: what a person drinking wh 6/51 might do on a star... "w*** upon a star"
6 noble :)
The 2nd ho5/12 plz.....
I always take the long way, noble, hadn't you noticed?
Haz I appreciate your attempts but I am more confused than ever. It would seem that the words I need are on the opp side of grid
Dang, you people are tough... What if I offered to put whip cream on my pretty please? Or chocolate?
Stid, not treally? Where did the second (ie. the first) haitch come from?
smithchick - so sorry - un + th5, and pl
smithchick
Why, oh why do folks ignore me..... It's quarter past ten at night, and I just wanna finish the grid.....
Damn that return button :(
don't know! just know that's the way it made sense (if it made any?) to me LOL
The 2nd ho5/12 plz.....
how can 'nooner' not be in the dictionary?
i got you movie
I got that one, hurshy...But thanks...I have the un7, the en7 and er7.

The 2nd ho5/12 plz.....<----------------

(but I don't know what noble's looking for)
Thank you, thank you, thank you hurshy, bbnaz, and stidmama!!

We love movieman, we are always mean to the ones we are friends with
i saw it
I had all these great intentions of actually going to the gym this morn (even woke up early!!) and my driver's side door started acting up! (i.e. I can get in, but I can't get out!) I think it's related to my break-in last JAN, but I have been spring cleaning today instead! :)
thanks hetty! just got it as you were typing -- those brain waves of yours musta helped!
then you should have quickly found it and clued him, noble :)
thats why your always kind to me?
i didnt know it
and you know it,Data
katie - then you're just like my mate punster.....LOL
i cant get any of the els
i feel dumb
you better get them or el**!
You know how telepathic we are. Stid. It's just I'm so much slower. Ask noble!
ok now i feel super dumb - cause that was way too easy
thanks!
hur what was the second N again
Somethingf about a prefix
prefix plus make *** of all your skills
what i find really scary is that when i get so frustrated that i type in a really silly spelling and it GOES..........brilliant, but scary
couldve said tyhat the first time you know
well, folks, as much as I am enjoying this, I need to play with my canine buddies before I go do the mama thing... I will see you later!
didn't think of it then
ok
later Stid. I am off to ride the horses myself
el6 speak a language very well, change first letter
the O with only one word with it
el5 = e + instrument, el6 plural
the end of another word for merry-go-round, noble

in the o, there are 5, in the larger word, there are 8
breaks into song...When you walk through a storm, keep your head up high...
Well, gotta go, it's nearly half past 10 and it's time I got off this damn PC..... Seeya!!!!!!!!

What about the O under the H over the R right of the N left of the O
lucky, see 4:25
ah; a Dutchie!!! hi, LUCKY! :-)
alleen voor een beschuit kom je eruit ;-) *snicker!*
?
Mikey and Movieman, shouldn't you guys be in bed?!? ;)
noble... there's a preposition, oo** and aahs, and on4 that means the responsibility or burden
you people are always trying to impress people cuz you can type in a different lanuage
soon, Jen; soon.....11:30 pm here!
huh, noblelover???
language
hmm; strange way of thinking, 'cos i don't find anything 'impressive' about it, actually?
i think...
yea
Show off's
Nobel, Mikey lives in Germany why shouldn't he type in German?
but if you do, hey; glad i'm 'impressive'! :-P
one must Articulate one's thoughts
no, noblelover; it's just common everyday stuff to me
kinda annoying really
well then don't look at it; i don't remember inviting your opinion and nasty commentary? i don't criticize you, do i?
Hi Mikey, nice to see you are impressing people!! :) how you doing?
dont know
i think this is the third day in a row for se5/10!
too bad everyone can't just be pleasant to others on here, it really is :-/
i usally pay attetion to other stu* oooo a birde!!!
entonces no podemos hablar otros idiomas noblelover?
Just want you boys to get enough rest! LOL I am just projecting... it's only 5:30 here and I still have dinner to get on the table for my son and him to bed... :)
also noble, that was Dutch, nicht Deutsch.
ja; isn't it, KatieW? i say.....must be my 'lucky' day! :-P
Mikey I have been here pretty much all day and I find you absolutely charming
Soy LOL
ganz richtig, Kaetchen! ;-)
There are two "un"words, 7 and 8 letter respectively. Idon't know where to start on those. Any help?
Mikey Niet alleen voor beschuit ook voor chocola kom ik eruit! how is it that you speak dutch??? thought you where in Berlin!
sprechen wir nur auf Deutsch, since noblelover enjoys it so much! ;-)
i will not stoop low enough to compreaded your pwetty attempts to infurate me
my sn is in another language, is that ok noblelover?
Kaetchen it was me that got the language wrong :( shows my skills in that area :)
th*** and add un
last re5?
an d t hen make is a pl.
hetty - we are used to seeing the un words with an -ing attached - behaving in a way that disregards the feeling of others
i need to learn how to spell...
lol, LUCKY; i don't speak Dutch at all.....that is the limit of all the Dutch i know, although i can read a fair bit, due to the similarity of our 2 languages; but i'm hopeless at conversing in it.....seeing it in print is a different matter, of course! ;-)
Mickey... your english is way better than my german lol
Lucky I have a queation for you....
un+ th5/50 and un+ th6/33
'sok noble, you're doing fine :)
i still dont got that O4 word
Hi Mikey have you all done
the burden one
my senior year of high school I stooped to writing the vocabulary words on my leg and wearing a dress the day of the test
Mikey Ich suche noch 38 wÖrter bitte hilf mir ein bischen ja?
No worries, katie. It's an old joke for me - helps to have a deliberately misspelled handle. Like Mikey says, Dutch is easy to read if you have enough German.
Hi Haz
well, babbybeyond; read my Babble profile, that might clue you in somewhat, there! ;-) hehe!
it didn't help that i just had the worst german teacher in the world. there's nothing worse than a teacher who says "i dont understand what you dont understand" lol
the 3 i gave you were all o4's, which one didn't you get, the responsibility one?
3?
right, Kaetchen; but it's a vastly different matter for me to hear it spoken.....then, i'm totally lost! lol
i only got 2
ROFL hurshy - was that deliberate?
and yea that one
gosh the chatlog keeps moving too fast cant read the messages that quick and answer at the same time LOL
anyways, back to the puzzle. I still have 89 to go (once again, I am doomed)
I'm so grateful, Haz. Now I have a word for what I do all the time, and I never knew it.
Hello scatty - the chat log is moving at quite a pace!
no kaetchen, not if you mean what i think you mean
You're welcome, hetty!
and yes, LUCKY; of course i'll help you a little, if you'd like.....what words are you stuck on, at the moment?
Lucky, quick a question!
i haven't seen many clues going past though
?
chic what is the matter dear?
Sorry all, I'll go back to the grid. No more troublemaking
noble - it's like the place where poop comes out, but change the first letter (lucky i know you don't mind gross clues) :)
i love groos clues
Just wanted to ask you if you Yahoo IM? Lucky
yes i thought you would enjoy that.
an4/5 is also the place where poop comes out, but one letter changed ;)
wait does it start with A or B
A
got it
ok i need the thrid one now
the preposition?
other one
oo** and aahs?
other one
that's all.
...
from that box anyway.
oh
i guess its the prepostion
prepositions are words like in, through, above, etc...
what is the the noblelover/hurshy show? i go away for five minutes...
HI everyone!
there is an on4 preposition and a similar un4
ok...
um...
Hello periwinkle!

i love to be amused
who mikey?
oh

evanonut used a WOOOOORD!
hi guys any clues on them et 6/21's please
oooooooops
:)
didn't have it, which word was that again?
you're kidding, what's a WORD?
There's a th6/21 just can't see, either through the"i" or through the"o" thread
starts with a S
ok, noble, um, if something is on something else, how did it get on** it?
et 6/21 - insert n into the et5/12 (the spirit or atmosphere of a place)
someone put it there
Duh
Mikey hurshy already gave a clue for the first el 6/21 but it still haunts me can you help also the eo5/10 and the k's please
hetty - you want to go with O
only 85 to go :)
looks like i'll have to go back for the miky/noble show down
yeah but fill in the blank noble and there is your word.
Thanks, Hursh
tomorrow its breakfast time folks
hmm, noblelover? well then, that makes Inge and several others here who i chat a little bit with auf Deutsch all 'show offs' then.....my, name-calling, how childish.....do i detect someone might be a little jealous/intimidated, 'cos he can't speak more than one language? *rolling eyes*
The other et6/21 has the same first three letters thenends with part of the King of the Jungle
cheers haz
some people are childish because they are children...
pancakes with maple syrup for me LOL
You're welcome, sandr
i can speak 3
no evanonut; let him babble on about it all he likes.....i'm flattered that he finds it so impressive, really; it's justcommon everyday stuff in my life! :-P
english, Arabic, and spanish
doesnt mean i can type them
Listen all, Mikey is an extremely brillant guy that I have know for years online...
pig latin
cpet english
thats besides tyhe point
io sono una bella principessa
honest
Hi evanout, missed you coming in had to have a quick ciggie
damakota winyan
You tend to do just to impress people so you can feel good about yourself and to get some recgnotion
katie, you quit those ciggies!
mmmmmkay.... not gettin what is going on... any hints on the sl6?
ethion
Noble - give it a rest, we like you stop antagonising other people we like
just cuz i can spell
lololol; now that's the best chuckle i've had all day!
dont mean i dont have a good vocabulary
Blast it! Sorry.
lol noble, who, prey tell, are you trying to impress by raising such a ruccas
i cant*
no one
i just feel like aguring with someone
its fun
excerses the brain and what not
go be a troll somewhere else
first rule of the internet: if everyone chooses to ignore an annoying party, they'll usually go away on their own because you're not feeding into their egos
* checks hand cuff inventory , wonders who to cuff first *
noble is just a feisty 14 year old boy - not a troll
yea
for you maybe, but we are a friendly bunch, go to another chat room for a fight
ohh
what is a troll hurshy LOL?
handcuff me!!!
you have irc? ill give you a channel where everyone argues
handcuffs are shiny
considers throwing the whole lot in the clink
no, Jen; neither am i, i'm sure.....'noblelover' seemed to feel some ridiculous need to criticize me and label me a 'show off' 'cos i said a few words in Dutch to 'LUCKY' on here, who's in the Netherlands.....methinks he's rather jealous and intimidated, by something that's hardly 'impressive' to being with; very odd.....but oh well, what'chya gonna do? go get a life, noblelover; and if it bothers you that much that you don't speak more than one language, then why not go learn another one, hmm? be a better use of your time, i'm thinking! :-/
Noble, please try to learn the culture of the place you are visiting.
No, Hursh, that isn't working. Can you guide me a little further please? Neither of my th5's will pluralize
uhm; makd that 'to begin with'.....typo :-P
A troll is somebody who come to places ont he internet just to make trouble.
i just told you i speack 3
okay mikey, time to get over it now, lets all make nice
yeah, it's not a plural, hetty
any help with eo 5/10?
i have 53 left
good grief!! ...call this a fight? ... more like handbags at dawn...
I thought it was a little creature who lived under a bridge
i think i might just give up =/
Sherb, some handbags can be lethal!
don't worry, noble, you can fight with me all you like
eo5/10 - add a word for a bad deed or wrongdoing
that ate the billy goats
Soy... I have 85 left LOL
evanonut, i was just filling someone in on what was going on.....i've had enough of this nonsense, though; you can ll have fun with him.....nighty night! :-)
never give up! never surrender!
good night Mikey
Let's keep the party polite, please. Keep in mind our noblelover is a very young person.
No Soy keep going :) though I do need to get more sleep otherwise I will be in trouble at work
batty: i've been at this the entire day... got addicted whilst at work, that wasn't good
I think you need to reread your fairy tale, noble! The poor troll never got a single tasty bite of goat!
TY Haz1558. Would have looked for hours.
Night Mikey :)
A troll is something that eats billy goats, but on the internet it is someone who just likes to make trouble.
really?
*sigh* why why WHY do i jump in!
i thought he ate 2
Shutterbug - you had the same childhood stories
No, he never did get any of the goats
cuz its fun and the waters is all nice and warm
Glad to help, Kaetchen
Nope. they both told him to wait for a biggger one to come along, and he was so greedy, he did.
Trolls on the internet GET your goat.
Remember good always wins in the books
thats why i jumped in
ok i really need to know the one that starts with o on the first row thingy
storm in a teacup...
it's driving me crazy
(is that why they're called trolls?)
then the good turns curropt, so who really wins?
But remember, sherb, some teacups can be lethal!
also remember that life isn't books :-0)
very boondock saints, noble
Vi - you sound like my mother!!! :)
o.0?
Deep jfarber deep
the left O, you mean, soy? it's the end of another word for a merry-go-round
ou5/12 add the French for salt or the first letters of the opposite of to buy
They can't all be winners.
... hmm
hur whats the other O's clues
and don't tell me... some mothers can be lethal... ;)
Hmm... No doubt your mother is a witty and charming woman. (i hope...)
the 2nd row?
Soy what were you talking about
Sherb are you the Borough fan?
in the middle
i got it... but i have no idea what that means
noble: boondock saints, it's a movie
one is oh4, like a state but change the last vowel
and then a pig noise, and pl
katie - I am, I am!!! died in the wool, MIddlesbrough born and bred... :D
under A left of I right of W above H Ne of T nw of H sw of Y se of N
Okay, not that anyone missed me, but I am back for a few betwxt my munchkin's dinner and me finishing...
Mikey oh boy sorry I have spoken in dutch and german, did not mean to start a fight I was just kidding chick did you not want to ask me a question way down the grid or am I mistaken again?
noble - truly you have a dizzying intellect.
I'm a hammer, sorry for the semi but good luck for tomorrow. I will need to babble on my laptop so I can watch it.

sl6 - a detective
jen i have that one!
for the frist time
oh ok, haz beat me to it
i didnt get not one of your cles
Stop begging sandr - I'll go looking for you!
Lucky yes are you on Yahoo IM?
you mean you didn't not get one? :)
ok Nvm
I'm addicted to babble but not as much as football so I don't care what size of grid it is, going to the final at the weekend so will miss Friday, Saturday and Sunday :)
what final katie?
You just said
Did not not
ho5/12, anyone?
double negative is a postive
Hello everyone!
i didnt get the state one
Hi Bush
FA Cup Final Liverpool vs West Ham in Cardiff
ho 5/12 is ramada or holiday inn
yay! my mother is a liverpool fan
Thanks Haz
you know a state that's four letters and starts with oh. you just need to change the last letter of it.
(i'm cliched - mtd und)
no6/21 - a word meaning that something is out of order
to what
NOOOOOOO..........I want the world to support West Ham!!
i know the state
i dont know the letter
hahaha
i know about the double negative, noble - i was hoping you meant you had gotten all my clues :)
chic no I'm not on yahoo anymore why?
nope
only the last two
noble: there aren't many choices for the letter
nevermind
just try letters until one works
got them all
no5/22 - a word of defiance said by many a teenager! (add a word for ***s and means)
Because I am on it now and it would be great converse with you!
notin?
I'm a terrible spectator... can't stand the tension... just as well I missed the semi, cos it would have had be hiding behind the sofa...
yeah chix, without clogging the log eh?
im dying for the world cup to start
i tend to look the worng way Soy
even if uruguay didnt get in
noble - you get how the points work?
i thought it was E
sh5/12 and 6/21 - extend your sh4 (hit by bullet) with a vowel and then pluralise
Nutty and Mrp too!
But nrkii, I have that, and its plural. It must be the ho5/24 I'm missing
Soy - your mother support Liverpool and let you become a Man U fan??? Looking forward to the world cup myself
zmt. zptrd, lookd likr zi ftopprf in judy in yimr. Fo you Suddird knoe sbout the babble map, where we all stake our locations? Australia is terribly unoccupied?
* waves *
the letter points?
katie: my dad's a msn utd fan ;)
yes - you get that you double them for 5, and triple them for 6, and so on?
*waves back*
yea my sis told me
why
so no 5/22 can't be notin
Sorry about that. read: Mr. Pres do you know about the babble map, etc.
so lovely, and what is todays theme?
shhhhhhhhhhhh
they dont know that
if you think about the points, esp if there is a lot, it helps.
to6/21 - either the description of a pulled through the hedge hair look OR what comes after 'as' to give you a surprise
Soy Ok I'll let you off Inge could you give me an address for the map as I couldn't do it at work & had forgotten about it
hetty, ho 5/24 is what geese are
scrimshaw, nut :)
whale teeth with cravings on them
noble, so does your sister babble?
i cant tell you that
Gotta say, I haven't looked at themes in sooooo many weeks..
The to5/12 takes an l out of the hair do - don't know if that helps
why not? she told you not to let anyone know she knew you?
Augest 5th IS CHEESE DAY!!!!!!!!1
yea
sumtin like that
lol
GO CHEESE!!
address is www.frappr.com/babble, soemtimes takes more than one try. Last time there were 52 babblers on it already.
how cheesy
hair do?
Hurshy - would it surprise you?
ho6/24 could be desriptive of migrating geese, but it's used as a noun meaning caucasians.
yes and no katie.
i take offense to that Katie
Chic (4:59) whisper me your e-mail address and I'll send you a n***!
noble - i'll ask babbler to switch it with one of the theme days i suggested so you can have it sooner.
Now Noble don't give it if you can't take it :)
haz, I'm not getting the hairdo
wOOt
I'll put in my profile for a few min., lucky
Katie everything i say
is usally a joke
lucky, its - CHIXIZDABOMB.NET
even when i said i take offence
noble can definitely take it :)
it was a joke
yea
nrkii - I was trying to clue to6/21 - some hairdos look this way - take an l away and you get the to5
Ok missed that one :)
BRB, gotta make dinner for my munchkin...

It's funny coz i don't feel bad about my neglect at all. Ha ha. The kids are 9,11,12, so they can fend for themselves, but hubby... he needs taking care of.
we don't know... we're looking forward to the surprise
or do they call you chick?
congrats woodchick and aussieme!

Hello from Kentucky everybody!
newbie question... what do the numbers after the letters represent when you ask about : no4/8 for instance?
im starting to think ya'll dont like me o.0
CHICK you've got mail!
the 4 is indicating it's a 4 letter word, correct?
hi peester! Where in KY
what would the 8 be?
Jera: of course :)
8 is points
Hi Kaetchen, Lexington

kaet... thanks :)
anyone wanna help me with the eight letter word?
how do we know how many points the word is worth is we don't know the word?
thin

i have no idea
metal you know about lickety's clues list? green link below
Go to http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues
I finished off-line on paper & just got my fireworks. I'll give clues a shot, but looks like several newcomers need basics tonight, yes?
th6/21 and the 5/12 before it?
You will find out the points there
well done peester
I didn' tknow about that, thanks for the tip
the 8 is un 8/70
assuming it's a singular/plural thin
ty scatty, how're you doing?
not bad, cleared the greenhouse out, need to work out how to seel all the extra plants i have left over now
harp, it's not a plural thing, the th5/12 sounds like the walden author and the 6/21 adds a consonant and sounds like it's an atomic particle
Hi harpjane long time no chat... all well?
harp the /5 is a alt spelling for completely, the /6 adds a consonant
scatty, I'm still planting where things didn't winter over. Harpjane, there are saddlebred horses and th***bred horses...
we actually saw some sun this afternoon, first time in three days
ho 4/5 and ho 4/9 please anyone?
Gorgeous there, peester. My family lives near Memphis. Their lettuce overwintered!
what kind of plants scatty?
pls help with the et's....I have the 5/12 and the 6/21 that is a toxic pesticide...but not the other
ou5/12 please
ou + what you do to your house when you move
ou + a hard ****, drop an L
lucky, there are a lot, person working in the garden, to sharpen, what a goose does
tndaisy, stick an n into your et 5/12
marigolds, zinnias, cherry tomato, asters pansy's, dalia's, sweetpeas, and a few more i can't pronounce or spell
ok ty peester:)
thx tndaisy and leslie ann
they sound lovely... I try not to kill my saintpaulias
luck, more HOs, bugle, and what the indian chief said + a silent vowel
Cleaning up the last few... help with le 5/10 please? TW
thanks for the th clues. I used a word in the log by accident! (typo). Hi Lucky et al!
any help with no5/22 and no6/21?
metal, whats a saintpauias
le 5/10, jay's family (late night host)
second le 5/10 is the time before easter + a vowel
Hi, Harp, haven't seen you about
african violet.... saintpaulia is the proper name for it
You're fast, Fran! Thanks for both.
yw kaetchen
FranMag thx for helping but I don't get your clues must be getting late again plz try again?
no 5/22, what you say when you don't want to do something no***!
lucky, le + first three letters of a facial feature
I try my luck with African violets. House is too cool in winter and at night. So I have to keep regrowing them. Greenthumb husband's greenhouse is full of bromeliads.
I love AVs, keep trying them over and over again. keep killing them over and over again.
*sighs*
lucky, i'll do them one by one then, first ho4/5 is someone using a ho*
thanks fran!
next ho4/5 means to sharpen
oh, then you luck isnt much better than mine.
yw batty
I have great enthusiasm, but am sorely lacking in follow-through
first ho4/9 is what a goose does
my husband likes the look of the garden once it has alot of flowers in it
Help with the hu 4/7? TYIA
metaleather, I feel your african violet pain. my great auntie grew & propagated them effortlessly & mine get eaten by cats
next ho 4/5 is another word for bugle
it is getting time to start another round of setting leaves to root and trying not to kill them off.... I can't resist. the blooms are just too pretty.
kaetchen, hu 4/7 like attila the hu* plus repeat lst letter
last ho4/9 is like 'deal or no deal' host without the 'i'
he moves anything that needs moving, weeds the beds under protest and digs
thanks peester. do you ever go to http://www.avsa.org and look at the photographs of the varieties available...
Thanks peester!
it's amazing how many different types there are
i'm not very good at rooting anything, and i'm not very good at keeping indoor plants, but good in the gaden, don't know why
k words are not fun
FranMag I really apreciate your help but what is a bugle?? and geese make noise but I do not know what you call that ??
I just buy them by color when there is a sale
bugle is like a trumpet
and cars make that same sound geese do
lucky, like your car ho**, it makes a noise that sounds like ho**
lucky, cars also do what geese do
yw Kaet. No hope for indoor plants with 5...oops, no 6 indoor cats. I grow flowers outdoors but no veg ... had a male dog for too many years to want to eat anything from the yard lol!
abugle is the wind instrument usually played at military funerals
sorry lucky, i just realized you are not in America!
another hard days' work, completed! DONE!
gobblegobble, oh no thats a turkey
Lucky, the noise geese make is like the *****-tonk blues
hooray for tridaisy!!

Canadians still lamenting end of hockey season...
LMAO!! peester...and are you one of same?
We are there indeed. At least I'm there. But I'm smothered by western States people. Look again Inge.
Congratulations Daisy
euh...what map are you guys talking 'bout?
i think it is the neatest thing ever. To see where those persons we talk to are living.
Hello Babblers I'm returning to fetch my last 55wrds.
tndaisy...grew up in Rochester NY but live in Lexington KY now
Inge whats the map address again please?
www.frappr.com/babble is the map

{{{Scatty}}}
ty Inge :)
faerie, that's just around the corner!
hullo
Peester sure is
Canadians are notoriouly modest. And not all of them are hockey fans. The field hockey I played in England was much more fun than ice-hockey, which is often an excuse for bashing boys about.
I'm now mapped, woohoo
I go down there 4 or 5 times a year. My family still lives there.
hetty, always good to have opportunity to bash schoolboys (as a schoolgirl, that is)
I just looked at the frappr map and i'm the only one in Hawaii! that can't be possible.
probably cause all the other people in hawaii are outside
yay metal!
:)
time for me to waste a few more brain cells in front of the tube, see y'all later
bye metal!
hetty, so insult meant for dear Canadians! I love the only parts I've been to...especially Falls area where my mom often goes to gamble with other ladies of a certain age
leslie, you're probably right!
Hi Scatty a LOL. I'm finished., Can I help you?
bye meta!
fran what island do you live on?
So
i live in Oahu leslieann
what i miss?
Bye Metal!
Et voilà ! I'm the map! :)
oh nice. my fiance and i are thinking about going to hawaii for our honeymoon. anything that shouldn't be missed?
Bye all - I'm off home to cook dinner. Ciao!
Peester, my new friend, I liv eon an island off te west coast. To me, Vancouver Island is the mainland, and that place to the east, that's Canada
oops..ON the map..typing too fast again...
ho 4/7 is my last ho word and hu4/6 the last please?
Bye Kaetchen!:)
welcome Sherry...our first french citizen mapwise
faerie, all KYians I've met in 16 years here are wonderful down to earth people (obviously I don't travel with the show/racehorse set!)
i can't help you too much with touristy things, i think you should just do outdoor things and enjoy the beauty of the island
hwey
that's pretty much the plan now :)
Welcome, Sherry. J'aime bien les francais; j'etais "au pair" en France quand j'avais dix-sept ans
sorry , sorry fingers are getting in the way
if you like shrimp, make sure you drive around the island and stop at Giovanni's shrimp truck
Hetty: ah, trop bien! t'étais où?
40 left
think I can do it?
well Hettie, your marker does not show up on my babble map. I checked a second time after you described your location. Nothing. Is there another map?
A meaux. Et pour la lune de miel (beaucoup plus tard!), a Paris.
any one else notice how red the frappr map is?
hetty, I lived in Seattle for 18 mos & managed to get to Vancouver only once... I got my waistlength hair chopped to earlobe length on 1 side & buzz cut on the other... never went back!
yeah Fran....I have
um peester...... why??
(the hair, not the travel plans)
No. as I said, I'm covered with other exclamation marks. We must ask Dr_ God or Matt to make specific whereabouts more accessible.
I didn't go back for fear of another haircut LeslieAnn!
i sh4/5 the sheriff but i didnt shout the deputy ohh ohh oh
did they hold you down and make you get a haircut??
yes
Ok Inge go check the map

worset haircut

Hetty: Meaux! j'y suis passée une fois en voiture pour aller chez mes grands-parents: c'était mortel! Un trafic de fou! Paris, j'évite...mais je suis née à Montmartre. :)
On the frappr map I get there are no other markers north of stidmama in Washington state.

helloo

i can only scroll back so far, and when i tried to view the whole log, it froze on me
unless i missed it
next el6/21 is plural of the 5/12 above it, sounds like a stringed instrument
8 words left!!
ScoutsMom - I love the word "plotzed". I'm not sure if it's a real word or not. Yiddish maybe? I use it as a synonym for any kind of stupid mistake. As in, " I tried to look elegant in my new high heels, but totally plotzed when I stepped in dog poo!"
et plus large hump third vowel, circle, small hump
I may faint if I see fireworks.
ty everyone!
joey: you're spelling the word.
second et plus tall hump, small hump, circle, snake
go batty!!
Judi: needs no definition; onomatopoetically, it's perfect.

hamano: below the grids are some links that will help you. start with angelsong's babble page. the game is like boggle - make words beginning with 4 or more letters just like that game.
NOOOOO, come in, welcome, we can all quit any time! honest!

OK. So I need a different ho5/12. The one in between the white guy and the instrument?

on my ho*** judge, i did not kill the puppy
oh NO TO!
thou shalt ho***and obey thy parents
thanks, fran, the puppy is safe now!
Temple, that would be horrible! (to leave and wash the floor AND not have Babble at work I mean).
wow! i just got four words from that! TY! LOL judy!
washing a floor? what language is that? this is a concept we don't have in our house!
I never chat while playing other games, but you guys are so much fun!
us either Jane...altho I think he'd like to introduce me to it...
franmag: we were sane when we started some months ago. really.
hey I'm bipolar! of course I'm fun!
Sane? What's that? *boooga booga boooga*
mayi have some helpo with the lower right o? i have two of the three!
one word to go!!!
*nyuk nyuk nyuk*
OH HAPPY DAY!
yes Fran, it's like the way the old Internet bulletin boards were, way back in the early 1980's. When people were civil and enjoyed chatting with people who shared a common interest!
31 words left to find but i am quitting for the night, see you all tomorrow
bb - if you have finihsed, congrats!
Go batty, go!

kids...I need to water the poor little plants, but I'll be back:)
which two do you have Temple?
bbl peri
later daisy
i have oh4/5 x 2 from that letter o on the lower right
see you daisy!
oh 4/4 is a preposition
sorry - oh4/5 and oo4/5
i mean on4/4 is a preposition
another oh4 - sounds like the Buckeye State, only different vowel on the end.
ok - i have the state one...a preposition that being oh? *scratches head*
sorry temple, starts with on
Hi folks! Since I'm awake and got my fireworks around UK lunchtime, would anyone like any clues? I guess you've all discovered by now that the rude 'wa' words aren't allowed and that although 'Yoink' is in the grid, he's not allowed either?!
hi jacula!
hi jacula!
i have from the bottom right o, oh4/5 and oo4/5...hi jacs...looking for the third word from the lower right o...
Hi both.
Temple - if you climb the steps to a stage you get on** it.
good clue jacula
Let's hope Temple thinks so, FranMag.
BRB - have decied to get the list...that does not do it - sometimes it's hard to tell which position first letter babble uses
but it WAS s good clue!
i have the preposition, the oo. is there an oh 4/5 from that bottom O?
Temple - your missing 'on word (on4/4) is between and oi5 (piggy noises) and an on4/5 (burden).
yes - clue given within the last 4-5 min (i can't see that far back)
there are way too many o's. i'm trying to resist the list, but it's kinda hard at this point in the evening...
jacs! that's IT! i feel as if an on4/5 has been lifted from my shoulders!
I I don't seem to be able to type very well! LOL. I know why! It's because the chatlog is now to the right-hand side of the screen. I'm left-handed. It does make a difference!
WELL DONE, TEMPLE.
i never felt the burden... or saw it, either!
hi all; may I ask a question?
woohoo TO!
ask away
back from running errands... had to get new sunglasses because I left my regular pair... "somewhere"
Go ahead!
Abe - the oh4/5 sounds like a US state that has a song about it, 'down on the banks of the Oh**...' It ends in a different vowel, though.
hi stid
hi stid:)
thanks jacula! the wretched o's are complete!
the letters shown beneath the puzzle - is that a count of the words that *start* with that letter, or that *contain* that letter?
hi TO Jacula, abe, daisy. etc etc... :-)
hi stidmama!
hi stidmama
Hi Stidmama.
hi everyone
martian - start
now the ks - need two...martian: start with that letter from that position
Martian, it is how many words Start with that letter
thanks FranMag :)
bottom n clue have the 4/4 word
Martian - It's a count of the words that start with that letter.
hi caljuata
and thanks shutterbug :)
Hello cajuata.
temple, do you have the yiddish dumpling?
before i list - anyone object to seeing firsat two for any words?
And it's relative to their position on the board, so that the e in the top left corner won't be the starting letter of any words.
hi cajuata:)
absolutely! what NYC metro gril wouldn't!
Not me, Temple.
nor i, temple
jacs: i ask because my curmmmudgeon is coming out lately...a lot of beyond clue giving
The first k word (a kh) sounds like what happens when 2 sets of lips meet. (I nicked that clue from earlier!)
In the home stretch. Just have to finish the T
T's, that is.
ok: kh4/9; kn5/20;kn4/8;kn4/12
one of the ki4/8s sounds like a gambling game
are what i have
the other ki4/8 is the same as that word with a different vowel at the end
go Judi go!
ty, fm; that's one of the missing
24 left, Stid. (Think I'll be here a while yet).
Temple - Is there? Not seen it, except for the... how did someone (oh, yes, Eva) put it earlier? ... 'uncontrollable cursoritis' or somehing like that. (The problem many of us have been having since the chatlog's been on 'return' for posting a message - our word tryouts end up in the log!:(
Although, I must say, it's been quite amusing at times, especially when it's happened to others rather than me. LOL.
i have ya4/5. 5/22; yo4/6, 5/14, 5/22
kn 5/20 clue please
kn 5/20- good with mustard
Temple - you're missing yo4/10 between the female parts and the exclamation.
temple, you're missing yo4/10, sounds like the sound you make when you get hurt with a silent vowel
good Judi -- I have 69 left and already my fingers are not always doing what I ask....
jacs:t friday midday here, we were in hysterics over that ...
you add to the kn and ending commonly used to indicate a propensity...this cake is more***
got it, thanxs abe
yw
Tw6/48. Puh-leeze. One of the goofiest words I've ever heard ("plotz" excluded of course).
yo4/10 - old word for a female sheep.
ty! : )
may i have a clue for the yo 5/22 please?
tw6 is te name of a pantomime dame--"widow tw****" rhymes with shrtened form of handkerchief
abe...it's a comic book type word
like maybe batman would say...or robin
tw6 - Aladdin's Mom.
brb- list time

Hi Jac. Whem I was going to pantos she (e) was also Jack and the beabstalk's mom
night scout
goodnight scoutsmom
OMG!! I DID IT!! FIREWORKS!! FIRST TIME EVER!!
goodnight scoutsmom!
yay batty!
thanks so much to everyone who gave me hints today. you all are roxor!!!111
yeah battybeyond!
YAY batty!!!!!!! {{{batty did it}}}
Congrats Batty!
Hetty...I know why you're not showing up on the map dear.
Well done batty
Temple - I was LOLing this afternoon, seeing people trying out various versions of the rude 'wa' words - especially when they put a 'y' at the end! I mean, I realised myself that you can even put 'out' before it and that left me rolling with laughter! Have decided the Enable dictionary is a spoilsport!
WELL DONE, BATTY! Here's some more for you - *~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR BATTY*~*~*~*~
CHICK I'm on check profile
Damn! I keep scrolling to the bottom of the chatlog to post! Old habit die hard.
Hetty...when u registered with frappr...you didn't provide a location, so that's why you have no marker
Hetty - Silly me! You're right, of course.
luck, is that your dog? he is so cute!
I mean LUCKY!
tndaisy--yes I did. I did so. And widow tw**** is a stock character who can appear in any panto, so there
Hetty - Actually, as a child, I hated pantos. We were marched along to them by well-meaning helpers from my Dad's works and told to enjoy ourselves and wear silly hats. I know it sounds curmudgeonly, but it's how I felt then.
oh...well...it looked like you didn't...when I looked at the list of names...so I dunno what happened
Pantos were really for parents. the child in them and all that.
for those of us who aren't from england.... what is panto?
shutterbug no that is only a remnant of an old icon theme haven"t been on for a while ... but I love dogs we used to have a chessapeek bay retriever do you know them?
jacs: my boss usesd that wa word...i don't know what it means...
I haven't got a photo there yet, and when I tried to put my marker inthe map disappeared--my message to matt about that yielded no response.
Yes, i know what chessapeek bay retrievers are! my sister has a golden retriever.
stidmama.. its a guess but the half of pantomime purrrhaps? LOL;)
Stidmama - panto = pantomime. A show put on at Christmas usually with men playing women and women playing men. Stock phrase from which, when a villan is on stage is, 'HE'S BEHIND YOU!'
that's what I was thinking, but in the US pantomime is just acting something out without words...
Thank you Jacula for clearing that up!
down to 64 words... any hints for the first tw?
the only one i have is mark tw***
and I monkeyed the tw 6, but can't seem to work backward from it past the third letter...
Stid... He wrote Tom Sawyer
Temple -Erm, how do I explain this politely, since I believe the 'wa' word is much used in US? A wan*ker is a person who might also be called Master Bates, since he likes playing alone.
Judi, pass the FISH please...
stid: on my small screen, i did not see anything after any hints - my answer: type fast!!
eo 5/10 and hw 4/9 and a stiff drink pleeze!
TW5 - Mark Tw***, the author, or 'the two'.
eo5/10+ one of the 7 Deadlies that you may have to confess if you're a Catholic.
OOOH TY! next time we have it out i'll be sure to point that out!!!! since we work with a bunch of sailors, i don't wonder that;s where she picked it up
Oh - and here's your double whisky! LOL.
actually, I had heard the wa word, Jacula, but only in shows from the BBC and didn't know what it meant! so (ROFLMAO) thank you for clearing that up before I embarassed myself!
the third ho 5,12?
jacula!
i'm having a hard time with this list tonight!
featherbee's looking for hos again? LOL
lol, cute stid!
Now , a pantomime is a musical- review type version of anursery thyme or fairy story--something Stephen Sondheim borrowed from in "Into the Woods". It derives from the old commeda delarte, so has stock halequin/columbine type characters: a principalboy (played by a girl)and at least one transvestite (usually a "dame" like aforesaid widow tw****) In one I wrote for Theatre for Cildren in Saskatchewan, therewere two "Dames" --the ugly sistersand one of them was played by the United Church minister! Pantos are old hat now their heyday was in the early years of the twentieth century
Temple - I meant to say I believe the word ISN'T much used in the US.
typing words in chat! the babble police will be after you now
ro 6?
Also, Temple, the word is used as a term of abuse in the UK. It means 'idiot', 'prat', 'twit' etc.
Temple. LOL. Okay, I'll send Bourbon instead.
and hetty thank you also -- btw, I LOVED "Into the Woods" saw it with my mother when it came to Olympia years ago... it was the first real (ie not strictly community, but professionals doing everything) production I had ever seen...
Evening, Babblers!
hi KennyChuck!
hi kenny chuck
she uses it in the sense of one who, along with wh44/9 type one who
ro 6, having much ro5/10
okay, maybe somebody can explain a term I hear in "Red Dwarf" all the time, and my apologies in advance if it's actually something nasty.... "rastabilly skank"
hi kc! : )
thanks franmag!
yw abe
still looking for my down on her luck ho....
JACULA you used a w****! and i do not get the eo for I'm not a catholic so I would not know about deadlies??? any other clues purrrhaps please?
Just for sake of clarity, the British don't use "pantomime as a term for what THEY call "mime"; the confusion occurs because in the States silent acting of the Marcel Marceau type is called "pantomime".l
Still 51 left, but trying...yawning...trying...yawning
Stid - thank God that's all you wanted to know from Red Dwarf. I thought you were going to ask about smeg!;(
Just remember PEWSLAG to remember the seven deadlies...
lol Jac:)
pride
omg.
*giggle* Jacula... that one was too obvious to need interpretation!
Is one of the seven deadlies a word?
we have ALL the RD dvd's
Lucky - I'll try again. You can either be a saint or a si***. eo+the 1st 3 letters of that word.
lol, didn't find my "ho" but did find something else in the vicinity! looked a lot like her.
it's the end of a word douglas
and he's after the newest ones as soon as they become available
Kenny I'm not trying anymore just YAWNING does it now
jac: is that a red dye?
Lucky: eo + a type of wave form common in math - e
Douglas - I know you can 'see' envy in the grid but it's a phantom word, I promise you.
I have a picture in my mind's eye of two pastors talking, and one asks, "How are things going in your church?" and the other pastor lowers his head and says "Well, I have a lot of PEWSLAG in my church to deal with..."
ist re word, please? it's a 5/10
envy, sloth,lust, anger (or is it avarice?),greed. What's the w?
LOL Douglas!
wrath
re 5/10, rent again
gluttony not grees
Stid... did I whisper to you yet that my grades for math were deplorable so please try a third time!
wrath
ah
actually, I am looking for a bunch of hos, myself... I have a few of them, but not as many as I need!
ty fm!
Finito! Had to refresh to get my fireworks. LOL. Good one, Douglas. Babble in-joke.
You're looking for what!?
stid, which ones do you need?
I stand corrected....and also gluttonous
Well done, JUdi.
YAY Judi!
i have all but 2
yay judi!
Lucky: eo + snake + opposite of out...
jacs: i guess we know tor's not lurking tonight!
That eo word has been in other Babble puzzles
have to get up very early tomorrow so goodnight all.
LOL!!! Stidmama needs more ho*s!
to 5/18?
True, Temple. LOL.
host hoot honey hooo how ;) *stid is being teesed* LoL
well, the 4/9 and the two that come after would be a start, I havethe second 4/5 and the 5 that comes after...
'Bye Eva and Merp.x
jacs: smeltz was here yesterday
good night, Eva... sleep well.
ho 4,9, think of a noise a car or goose makes
Yes, the eo word is a red dye.
night!
oops, wrong one i think
sorry
We cannot stroll to the music of the ****; we must march to the sound of drums.
bye jac & stid! Merp is already snoring away at the foot of the bed
LOL Lucky
ho 4,9, it's a question word with the second vowel on the end
Uh, Stidmama, I think you can get arrested for soliciting when you say that.
Poetry, Captain? Against all regulations...
featherbee thanks got it
This grid seems very tough to me. Even my traditionally effective monkey typing often renders me one ape short
LOL, Judi! Yes, and to think she doesn't have as many as she needs...
;-) not when I'm working "undercover" Judi!
gdfgdfy
You've been very quiet since we left the planet, Mr. Spock...Did you get down with Jill Ireland?
ho 5,20 is plural of the above ho 4,9
Mama stid is doing it again! LOL
just got the first ho... duh!
ho 5,27 follows that theme, is a slur against whites
I guess she'll just have to change her screen name to "PimpMama".
LOL!!! Oh dear, you're killing me! :D
Or studmama???
featherbee, thank you! growing up in virginia, I heard that last one A LOT! :-(
if you ever figure out the last ho 5,12 or the ho 6,21 following it, let me know!
featherbee...hold out your plate...
working on them, now, featherbee, but these hos are tough!
heh, welcome...i was surprised to see it, along with the sl 4,5
Stid, do you really need some HO's? Which?
and of course the wh 5,20 fits right in with tonight's theme!
featherbee...marriott...hilton...
Stid I'll back you up! LOL!!!!
oh...*smack*
featherbee: The last ho5/12 is where the pimps make the hos do business. (ho6 is the plural).
thanks!
Thanks, Hetty, daisy just gave the clue I need!
lol Judi...
takin' ma hos to the ho*** now!
LOL...where did we go wrong tonight!?! Ho*s and pimps everywhere!
hurshy, if you go to http://crosswordbebop.blogspot.com, click on "View my complete profile," you'll be able to get an email address for me...
ho4/5 - one who uses a gardn implement. ho4/5 - to sharpen. ho5/12 - one who sharpens. ho4/9 - to press a car horn or a goose noise. ho5/20 - what a car horn or a goose does. ho5/24 - derogative term for white people which is used by Afro-Carribeans. ho5/12 -Ms. Blackman from 'The Avengers'. ho4/5 - cars and hunters have these, ho5/12 - a place to stay on holiday or overnight. ho6/21 - plural of the above. ho4/9 - A Red Indian greeting + 3rd vowel. ho4/7 - the wax vine.
Jeez, aren't we sophomoric? Or as Dan Akroyd would say: "Jane, you ignorant sl4/5!"
ooh, thanks for the sl, judi
judi, you're cracking me up tonight!
ho ho ho ... tell me all about them LOL!
Jac, I think we should have a prize for clue-giving. I think you should get it.
You ignorant sl4/5 seems to have hung around, I read it in a blog today...
Thor is not in the dictionary...
Jac, that was an awesome list! now we can move off the hos...
oh man...I can just hear Dan Akroyd...
Okay, getting sleepy, that's why I'm being silly. Good night all you weirdos.
*wonders what a wax vine is*
May we swap from ho to hw ... ooh
good night, judi!
just got that hw
bye you ignorant... um... babbler!
Temple Owl should perhaps Google 'wax vine'?
feather tell me tell me tell me pleeez!
hw ryhmes with a beautiful white bird
you know the figure skater, michelle kw**?
night judi
change that
*slinks off to do so*
Any NO5/10 or 5/20 help? Thanks in advance...
feather you just tickle me that white bird doesnt fly!
lol
*which, with dial up, should take 10 minutes or so*
Templeowl, I have one, and I've never heard it called tat. The wonder of this plant, with its glossy green leaves, is the clustering of flowers like little coronets
Dial up 72??
can't get the o word that starts with the o on the left
I dunno! I turn my back for a moment and people have stopped looking for ho's and started tickling one another with feathers! Proper den of iniquity this log is!
kenny chuck the no 5/10 I have is the plural of no 4/4
feather may I pluck you some more hw....? LOL
does anyone have the so 5/10?
yes... i ADMIT it - DIAL-UP p.s.i had the wax vine - i just know it as the georgetown mickname
I can't believe that outie isn't in the dictionary. Don't they have a belly button?
no ho just so..... it seems LOL
You have got to go with cable, it is SOOOOOO much better,temple owl
Douglas - mine's an 'Innie' and only innies are allowed! LOL.
I quit playing here for a while when I had dial up, because it was too slow
thanks, ronnie...I don't have even the 4 to know what the plural is to know if it's what I need :(
Douglas do ho;s have a bellybutton? LOL
Temple - dump that dial up connection and go for cable broadband.
The so5/10 is a reddish colour but with another middle consonant it would be a green plant used in salads.
I'm cracking up
42 to go...
go kenny!
ok jacs...it's a short path from google to a to z....temptress!
3,000,000 votes for the Silly party...
no 4/4 is a musical symbol
Kenny 34 and not counting any longer Lo Lo Lol
SAbe, that mixture of colours was for you
*Jac scuttles off to look for a dustpan and brush with which to sweep up the unfortunate 'Lucky's' cracked up remains.*
take that one to get plural 5/10, several musical symbols
thanks hetty, i'm th***ing it over...
Oh THAT no 4/4!!!
Ronnie, thanks...I already had that one. Man, am I out of it.
Hey, Samantha, are you new? I never saw you here before!
Douglas - is that The Monster Raving Loony Party? Not sure if they're still going since Screaming Lord Sutch met his Maker.
. . .or you could just add a stick to the so4 above it
Kenny keep it up
Yes, I'm new. Been playing for all of two days
I suppose I should go to the kitchen...wish I could take you folks with me....
en7?
daisy, thanks for all the help and clues... see you tomorrow!
I was just thinking about the Monty Python sketch where the Silly, Sensible, and Slightly Silly parties were competing in a British election...
Welsome to BABBLE samantha!
Leslieann en 7 use th
Thank you very much, shutterbug!
Or even welcome to Babble, Samantha. LOL.
Thanks, Lucky...will keep trying
eslieAnn the en7 is a verbback formed from the noun en****iasm
Don't be overmodest, SamanthaJoy! she's already had fireworks, folks!
Hello SamanthaJoy...Babblers, including myself, are rather silly this evening
can anyone help me to get my rate down tonight for I am not with it too much
Yes, well, that more a result of stubbornness than skill
ok, i got it hetty, thanks! phew...
Actually, Douglas, you could drop the last two words off that! LOL
Well, if you look above the grid, babble IS spelled in all capitals!
how about any of the et-s
Douglas - rather silly 'this evening'? You underrate us!
kennychuck the other no 4/4 I have is a movie High NO**
wait til the poetry starts!
We were all almost sane people... and then we found Babble... the rest is pisstory.
ah thank you folks
Er... history.
LOL.
heh
shutterbug, they were referring to a typo in "welcome"
STIDMAMA!!!
el6,21? (i got the plural one)
Thanks Ronnie. I have that and a couple more...I guess having what I have is better than having no**
But the idea was still golden, and appreciated
jac's note sounded like poetry to me...
Tonight's chat isn't nearly as silly as an earlier discussion of neat cows. WQere here world enoug h or time you shoud look at the back log
I can't believe that High no 4/4 is not one of the top 100 movies of all time.
almost as funny as the PANTS episode, we are tonight...
if you're good at a language, you're fl**** in it...change the f to the e
(that was for the el 6,21)
thx
Hetty - I would look back at the log if I could but, in Firefox, it's nearly impossible since the changeover. I'll have to check it out in IE sometime.
Oh, ok! I didnt catch that one! Oh well, next time I will say welcome, not welsome!
thanks for the el feather!
I don't see how to look at the backlog in IE...
I am using firefox, and everything works fine for me as far as I know
guys, can you enlighten me - a) how do you know what the second letter is (i.e., when you say you are looking for the el 6, 21) and b) what's 6, 21?
welcome stid! got that in 7,48 yet? i'm stuck
Martian go to http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues
martian, el 6/21 is a word that starts with el, is 6 letters and worth 21 points
Shutterbug - we may all think ourselves wordsmiths and take the pee out of those that mistype, but we all mistype and misspell at times, too. That's the beauty of Babble - we're human and don't mind showing it. After all, as BJ said the other night, 'where else would you find people willing to confess that they can't find a few simple 4-letter words?' or words to that effect.
in + the next letter of the ins + what cows and cars have
sh6/21 please?
Paul Simon recently wrote a song about conscience being something that sticks to the bottom of his ****
that clue was for featherbee...
thanks stid...weird one!
in 7/48 is something you keep in* in. Think of what a unicorn has on it's head
No, I dont think I am a wordsmith. I know that everyone makes typos sometimes! I wasnt upset or anything.
no 6/21? first one?
Temple - plural of the sho5 before it.
The girl that I lament for, the girl my money's spent for, the girl my back is bent for, the girl I owe the rent for, the girl I gave up **** for, is the girl that heaven meant for me....
feather pleeze make me fly again hw
okay, I am looking for one of the last two wh... I have the "ho" one LOL
Shutterbug - No, I didn't think you were upset, I just went off on one of my soapboxes. LOL.
Sorry!
That's wuit all right!
huh lucky?
OOPS, I mean quite all right! I did it again! LOL.
feather I'm airborn!
Oh God! Douglas has started singing! All coins thrown into his hat will be gratefully accepted. LOL.
lol, err, ok!
*knocks in a few quarters*
ok, last word and then i finish my paper... the first no 6/21...many thanks
*tosses coin at Douglas*
feather I meant the hw for your info
"The Devil opened up his case and said 'I'll start this show, And fire flew from his fingertips as he *****ed up the bow..."
abe, I don't have that one *waits for abe's clue to magically appear*
34 an counting...
Stidmama - Take care where you aim! That hit poor Douglas right on the nose!
i'm sorry lucky, i'm confused! do you need the hw one?
*penny with a whole in it for Douglas*
feather hu 4/6 last any clues?
aw, thanks stidmama
whole=hole
no 6/21 starts with a negative - things in an attic suffer from no****
sorry Douglas, hope you can regenerate okay...
sorry abe, not a great clue
hu 4/6, one you do to deer or other woods animals with a gun, the other one is colors
oh, franmag....thank you! thanks to all!
YAY abe?

fireworks abe?
no6/21 you're looking for??
yes, fireworks! woo-ha!
No feather I meant that i've finally found the hw ... ergo I fly ergo I am airborn ... *xplaining ajoke*

Arrr...yo ho ho wasn't in the dictionary

Good job, abe!

Fran, got em both, amazingly...Thanks!!
Fran are you bying! A bloody mary pleez!!

hmmmmm
Moi aussi! Margarita please!
still need one of the last wh 5... have the "ho" already!
Kenny under 30 not without parents consent!! LOL
I guess barisaxpat left?
ok got it. thanks fran!
i hope not -- there are plenty of good clue givers here...
Ooooh...a margarita...*sigh*
Stidmama - legal term - whatever person, more often seen with the word 'ever' at the end.
speaking of which.... please? wh 5 not the "ho"?
stidmama I'm with you but I doubt it
have the 7/52 & the 7/28. help with the other 2
stid--if you have wh 6, take off the last letter
They're not home, Lucky, and I have the car *S*
Jacula -- duh! fish, please! and THANK YOU. now I can move up the alphabet again...
stid, do you have the kitchen utensil? 5/28?
wh 5/20, like at a wedding, wh***ever wishes to speak, speak now
stid wh + anything
And do you have the one that describes his I feel right now?
Like I said, excellent cluers! I am done with wh, and now trying to find the other pair of tu... I have the music ones. Does the other pair come before or after them?
people - i am done...
stid, they come before
hooray for temple!
waytogo 72!
YAY TempleOwl! woot!
thanks, Fran, *looking*
The other pair come before the music ones
Congrats, Temple!

got to go... see you tomorrow! happy babbling!
The Temple is closed folks .... FIREWORKS
by temple!
Stid - the tu's you seek are Scirpus bullrushes.
lucky: are u realted to sprite?
thank you! got the last tu tus!
'Bye Temple.x
bye temple cu later
or related?
Just going thru the log...er7, Fran? What happens to soil in the rain? *ramming head into wall*
later Temple!
kenny, it uses the first same four letters as the er 4/4
No way, Lucky! Congrats. You are an inspiration *nodding off*
it turns into mud... DUH KennyChuck (says the woman with the dog with big muddy paws...)
maybe soil wasn't the best clue, how about hillsides
No temple but we met the other day in April together with andy so I know who she is we had a great time
Soil er**** has been a big problem on the land since farmers ripped out hedgerows to make bigger fields.
Leslie & Fran - big glass of duh for me, please. Thanks!
cool! where did u meet? and you mean andy anj?
speaking of andy... I think I saw him online briefly the other day, but not since... have you seen him today?
please help...either to6's
Andy/Anj is a fella!
no 5,20?
first to6/21, sounds like you're talking about weight and saying you're about 2000 pounds
to6/21 - sort of shadish.
to6/21 - the unkempt look.
Done!
Kenny you misunderstood I th*** Temple signed of I did not (yet)
yay angelsong!
how about ho5/24?
*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR ANGELSONG*~*~*~*~
you guys should see the look of confusion on my face right now...shadish? 2000 lbs?
YAY ANGELSONG!!!
Horay angel!
YAY Angelsong!
OH, OK, Lucky...still an inspiration, tho *S*
yay angelsong!
ho 5/24 is a duragatory term for a white person
Jacula yes andy is a man from canada and a nice one too
hello son -- you may Babble for fifteen minutes, then I am going to lower the boom...
Soy - ho5/24 - a derogatory term used by Afro-Caribbeans for white people.
wtg, angelsong!
or, ho5/24 is what a group of geese can be
hi stidmatt! : )
Your no fun (anymore) should've kept quiet! (I knew it!)
misstear - your face too? I actually had to shake my head for fear it would stay that way. A 2,000 pound shadish thing, kind of...Yes, it's coming to me now...
stidmama who is your son??? just curious
Lucky - Different Andy/Anj.
I am quitting now, it is 11:00 p here. I stayed up late to take advantage of eBay's ten cent listing sale!
Although the UK bloke is a nice one, too!
hoes isn't in here ;)
it is stidmatt. ME!
here we go...LOL!
the first to 6: add a "sorta" suffix to the end of the 2000 lb word!
Soy - No, but the one who does the hoeing is.
Jacula he was not different ... he was nice ;) LOL
yay got it
jacula: found that already
both
stidmatt and stidgrant (not currently online) are my boys. stidhat (in Sudoku right now) is my Tom, their father.
stidmatt hello
GOT it! Thanks!
Hope you got there Chuck!
Am not getting younger than 33 tonight
ok, so i've got to ask now...what does stid mean?
Are we about to be enmiddled (not a word, I just invented it) twixt Stidmama and her son? EEK!
It is a shortened version of our name, Stidham.
feather.... ask your Mama! LOL
enstidded is more like it
too much info, son!
LOL!!! LeslieAnn!
lol jacula!
i was just thinking that stidmama!
LOL, LeslieAnn
NEVER give out your last name to strangers! NEVER!!!
even nice ones like these... :-)
I must learn how to do flash films on the computer.
And we are as strange as they come!
Why shouldnt you give out your last name?
I've had yet another idea from all the Stid stuff.
well you can't get much stranger
Hey, has anyone else wondered why "whoo" as in "whoo hoo" is not acceptable? C'mon!
JB! when did you appear? *rustles in bag of tricks* *m&ms*
no 6/21?
shutterbug: everything you say here can be googled
NEVER EVER???
mmmmmmmmm
creepos who look for young unsuspecting kids can get way too much information with a name
shutterbug, especially with such an unusual last name, it increases the opportunities for mean people to get to children.
A friend of mine has been learning the flash stuff for music, I want it for cartoons and music. Must get down to Reading (UK) soon and learn from her. She's my parody songs partner.
i've seen our posts come up in google searches
No, no, no, No, NO!!! I can't any more tonight, stidmama, I'll blow up like Beluca because I've had WAY too much candy today!
i'm feeling bad i asked now!
What's in a name I ask thee! ho ho ho LOL
Lucky -- NEVER EVER. not when you're significantly younger than "adult" in any context!
no 6/21, things in an attic suffer from no****
*grabs candy back and stuff into own mouth* thassh okay JBJBBJJ, I wanSH some for shelf anyway....mmmmmmmmmm
feather lighten up we are among us.... so to speak
no5/20?
not the best clue leslie, but it worked for other people
stid of course I was just joking
I see. but how on earth would you find somebody if you dont have thier first name, or where they live, and they have a VERY common last name?
no 5/20, I won't do it, no way, no***
*hands stidmama the reese's cup bag* Nope, not me, I wasn't holding out, uh uh!!
well, I am really leaving now.
featherbee -- not your problem... but stidmatt
StidMama - I just saw that stuff about surnames and Googling. It IS true. I have an unusual maiden name and anything I say on the Net under that name can generally be Googled.
bye shutterbug...
isnt that 5/22?
bye shutterbug
Adults gather up and clue me LUCKY .... what's in a name?
shutterbug: a good sl6 can put things together...good night!
ok, back to the grid for me!
Yes, I can be googled if one knows my first name -- it's un-nerving sometimes!
not to be scary, but i track down people for my job (reporter) and i could totally track down the stid family from the info on here
working on the o-s
There are freaky people out there, that make me just shutter, um, I mean SHUDDER! *takes foot out of mouth* Night, shutter!
soy, no it's not, but I think i gave away no5/22 in my clue for no5/20
Good Evening all -- I got a late start and have been busy hunting before falling asleep -- had to hide the log so I could stay focused, but I am done to my last nine and would appreciate some clues
so, you know, no need to add fuel to the fire
featherbee your with me?
oh...
bye everyone! stid: matt learned something very useful in a low risk environment....WOULFIE!
JBS - Yes, there are some very strange people out there. Don't get too scared though.
thanks Temple, it's why I let him come here when I am online... :-)
Hiya WOLFIE!
ok got it thanks :)
Let's start with en7, et6/21, and in7, please?
HI WOULF! I have 31 left but will help if I can.
Hi, Jac! Not when I've got the Babble crew looking out for me!
hi woulf
Stidmama - Glad he learned something.
{(*Jac*)}
Woulffie!!!! *howls from joy of reunion*
{{{{{GreyWoulfieeeeeeee}}}}}
(*FranMag*)
*proud mama look* he's a smart boy. he'll be okay. :-)
in7 - compound word. what's in a pen + a great ****ed toad
I am?
StidMama - of course he will!
{{{***Lucky***}}} -- long time no chat!!
don't ask silly questions matt!
Good job, stidmama! *tosses over the Heath Bar*
*burp* well, okay, just one more...
{{**JB**}} {{**Stidmama**}}
Stidmatt - don't try to capitalise on what your Mom said. It won't benefit you, I promise. I'm a Mum. I know! LOL.
en 7/36, be excited about, he's very en****iastic
*taps toe. pouts.*
Grey decided to quit art academy and was sick thinking about it
*waves lump of meat to get attention* oh, Woulfie!!!
Wolfie - I don't think you've given Temple a hug yet.
were we supposed to say bye temple?
{{{***Temple***}}} --- thought you had left
Not sure if she's waiting for the goodbyes or a big, hairy hug, Franmag. LOL.
*sound of more t*** tapping* ahem.....
Bye temple owl! (sorry)
Mind you, Wolfie (in real life), sorry about this, Wolfie, is not as hairy, I think, as the Love of my Life. LOL.
Art thou all right Woulf and thee offspring too?
LOL! franmag - teasing woulf!
JB -- I gave you a hug at the same time as Stidmama -- don't get greesy on me :)
Funny thing is, I can't stand hairy men yet I love both of 'em!
oops -=- I meant greedy
woulf: did u know smeltz was here yesterday and asked about you?
LOL, GW, that's what happens when you're holding a lump of meat!
ROFLOL. JBs
{{{{T-Owl}}}}
ahem. may I have a clue for the th 4/5 in the middle that comes before the prickly one?
{{{{jb}}}}
I almost typed something I would have to regret, Jac!!! *blushing*
stidmatt, please tell the nice people good night and log out...
So, smeltz was here? I was wondering about him the other day.
Your no fun anymore.
en7? anybody?
Bye y'all!
could somebody give me a clue on the word that starts with the o on the left, please?
Oh what a shame, JBs. (That you didn't type it, I mean!) :)
night stidmatt!
Lucky -- we are doing well -- though the new job is still temp -- tantalising hints of permanency but nothing yet
thank you, you may play more tomorrow.
Bye StidMatt.
You see, stidmatt is still here!
bye stidmatt
en*****iastic
stidmatt sleep tight!
I missed Smeltz! Darn -- that boy is too busy for my own good!
See that girls? Wolfie used the word 'tantalising'. He's teasing y'all! LOL.
Hey, where'r them keys to the 'cuzzi, GW?
th 4/5, you mean th** one?
GW keep me posted hope things work out for you!
GW, you should have my scrimshaw today!
yes! many showed up in short timespan...fun!good night, stidmatt!
no, Fran, the other one...
Get those sippy cups (with the handy covers to prevent errant spashes) ready!
en7 - if you are very taken with something, you might en***** about it.
I got the 7's, btw -- how about the et6?
stid, remember the Cosby show character, the oldest boy? Change the spelling
That is a lovely piece, harp!
thanks Fran, that was the clue I needed!
et6 - A highly toxic, liquid organophosphate pesticide, C9H22O4P2S3.
say what Jacula??
*pats pockets*.....
Franmag - a clue for an et6.
*pats pockets more urgently, then turns them inside out*
Hi, harpjane - BEAUTIFUL wolves!!!
Jacula mind your language ... ????
LOL!
c'mon, GW, you're the last to have them, yes?
The other et6 is people of the same race or nationality who share a distinctive culture.
Maybe in your other fur?
*smacks head*-- that's right, I left the keys in my winter coat-- I haven't had to wear it for awhile
What is Wolfie looking FOR in his pockets?
whew!
Jacula, the KEYS to the JACuzzi!
ok people, this darn chat is distracting me from searching for words! lol
I'm getting younger by the clue! (32)
i thought they went w/smeltz...there have been no 'cuzzi parties since he left...
Oh! Really. JBs? I am shocked!
*Tosses keys to JB* -- go ahead and start it up :)
Temple - I thought you had gone?
No way feather how can that bee????
i'm right behind ya jb!!!!!!
smeltz gave them over to GW... *fields keys with one hand grab*
damn lurkers! now look who's here! how can i go?
<Imagining Jacula shocked>
Well, I guess you'll have to stick around, TO!
yo smith!
renfield! yippee!!!! TempleOwl, you'll just have to join us in the hottub!
Temple ... owls always have one eye on the log didn't you know?? LOL
i just arrived home from work!!!!!
*opens rusty gate, pushes all buttons to "on" Full heat, full swirl, all in!!
{{{***REnny**}}}
Hey! I've been lurking like crazy trying to get this thing done and get a reasonable amount of sleep tonight. It's like old home week!
{{{ren!!!}}
*cringes* *pulls out oil for gate*
((((((wolfie))))) (((((everyone!!!!!!))))
Mistress greets her servant.
LOL, lucky! *grbas up tequila, triple sec, salt*
I need the pesticide et6 -- but google failed me, Jac
stidmama the hottub is extremely outdated ... so much that the water got cold who runs for help??
woulf, take the beginning of the other et words and add a charged particle
You said a mouthful there, smithchick!!
hello mistress......
BRB - really DO need a drink
Forget the sleep, {{smithchick}} I've already given up on the grid for tonight, will justhave to replay fireworks from yesterday
Well, I've got a very big mouth!
Thanks, FranMag!!!
yw woulf
Temple make mine a bloody mary pleez and turn your head while I drink it in one go
Now how about no5/20 and 6/21?
*hauls out pitcher of mochajavachocolatte* Hold out your sippy cups for some massive caffeine!
et6/21 - anagram of 'hi tone'
no 5/20, i won't do it, no*** (no5/22), no***
JBs Vivaldi cannot be reset ... we need to pop all over again
no5/20 goes with the no5/22 and the no6 is what the jacuzzi has been suffering from!
good one smithchick!
mochajavachocolate.........mochajavach ocolate
Ty, Ty...
JB! you remembered! good thing I brought the fixin's! *pulls out almonds, chocolate shavings, maraschino cheries, cinnamon sprinkles and WHIPPED CREAM"
It's stidmama's recipe, ren!
no6/21 - it's negllected through no****. It's not been looked at lately, or used for anything.
Lucky - Vivaldi? I
JBs mochajavachocolatte sounds like the best medicine ever
HI. Does anyone have the KN5/20?
i'm ready i'm ready i'm ready mocahjavachocolate
I'm close. Only 26 words left to find.
HI, minski!
I'm more in a Boston mood - "more than a feeling, when I hear that old song play"
I have 24 to go, but my back doesn't want me to sit... I hate to leave the party.... :-( back soon!
mocahjavachocolate.....count me in!!!!
Bye, stidmama!
Remember your towel, s-mama!

baobab .... you stay in one on vacation
It is like going to great lengths to do a job well. Variant spelling. No other vowel besides the round one. th5/12
ahhhh
baobab: place where you stay the night
i get blindspots, and don't look in certain directions! thank you
the other un 5 was on here yesterday or the day before. disallow
the et i have is et + two point letter + electrically charged ion
minski, think racial and et**** group, but sounding like pathos
great, thanks soytalento--lo eres realmente!
Th5/12 - Take th5/12 that you do have and replace final consonent with a vowel.
When you get that wonderful clue for the th5, add a consonant to the end. NOt the squiggly one.
For the TH6/21 add a consonent on to the end of the same th5/12
and realizing that i still need the second ho5/12
oh crud... i meant atom... that was a REALLY good clue *blush*
jaja gracias boabab
i cant get th5/12
are all 3 et words basically the same? the 2 I have are.
every rose has them
but singular...
Think of the Boy Scout oath.
For the second ho5
ohoh
its not the prickly one, its another one
Th5/12 - Take th5/12 that you do have and replace final consonent with a vowel.
down to the end! 11 left
Stick the round vowel on the end instead of the consonant that is on the end of the prickly one.
OMG YES *LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE*
are all 3 et words basically the same? the 2 I have are.
Baobab, did you get your second ho5/12?
IM DONE
nope
WooHoo, Soy!!! Congrats!
congrats soy!
thanks!
yay soy!
Oops.....
im seriously so happy, i should get more thrills in life
Minski, the first one is chemical but the second two are similar. same word with an extra consonant thrown in the middle.
yay soy! (i feel like a crazy vegan)
ho5/12.... think of the wedding vows.... love, ho5/12 and obey
hi leslieann, it rhymes with short for handkerchief
On my Ho*** , I will try to serve... (Can't remember the oath).
I need the chemical one pelase
haha harpjane, it's "i am" in spanish
Like making a vow...upholding one's ho***
thanks jane
3 words left to find
well... i have 73 to go.. but this is the first time i have played in two months so not bad! see you all soon! night night
aha! thx... i should have seen that one
good night cathy!
bye Cathy!
The chemical one starts with the same three then has two vowels followed by the consonant that you stuck in the middle of the other et6.
Night, cathy!
last ho, the 6/21 one...
ask me, i want to be useful now minski
next group!
ok, since we're on the et's, the et5,12 is stumping me!
Plural of a vacation place to stay.
newbie question - when you say th5/12, what does that mean?
et + pimps and ***
missing.....the chemical ET6/21, the ER7/28 and the EL6/21
got it, thanks leslie!
think the ethnic god of love for et5/12
not the classiest clue, but it does what it needs to
er 7... rain washing soil away
ho6/21 plural of ho5/12
back, kids in bed, 15 words to go. Cutting it close this evening, I think!
el 6/21 is the plural of the 5
minski, which el6/21 do you need?
minski el6/21 is a plural of one you already have
no 5,20 and no 6,21? and i don't quite get the attic clue!
yeah, got it--thx, now stuck on the hu4/7!
er7 is when the ground is eaten away, el6/21 is like the fl word yesterday that means able to speak well in a language, but exchange the f for the e
got the er. thanks guys.
et 6/21 - et + two-point letter + an electrically charged atom
ekershin -
hu 4,7, thake a short term of endearment, add the same last letter as the first
It's a dumb word. Think Attila and stick the first letter on the end.
Hu4/7 - German + 8th letter of alphabet.
no 5/20, no + the 'h' of the 5 w's and h
got the et. thanks guys.
Well, my contacts are about to dry up and blow right out of my head, so I guess I'd better go. Bye, all!
one left then fireworks.

hi stidmama!
Are we all done now?
Hi Jac! only four to go for me
un 5/12 - un-allow
Sorry, I don't see it. could you please repost the hint for the 1st el6j/21/
un5/12 - let me out of these ropes!
(from smithchick): el6/21 is like the fl word yesterday that means able to speak well in a language, but exchange the f for the e
I have 11 left, but just got back.
un5/12 - to unrent an apartment or to get yourself out of ropes.
jacula - got that one
ro6?
no...I still don't get the clues for the ho's . I need the final ho 5/12 and 6/21 right after it...I'd love any help.
NO4 after the eating one?
leslieann kh + singular of are
I need the no 5/22...
please my last word... the 1st el6/21
Halloo, and welcome to the ongoing saga of Jai and her hospital stays....this one from rescuing a 375lb. woman from breaking a leg...(it's a loooong story) Thanks to all for love and prayers!!!
Me also Stid, me also
starts as the 5/12 under it
nvm, got it!
(from smithchick): el6/21 is like the fl word yesterday that means able to speak well in a language, but exchange the f for the e
sounds like f****, someone who speaks a language well
MINSKI, ARE YOU FLUENT IN ANY LANGUAGE? jUST LOSE THE "F"
give us a clue for that one stidmama!
minski el+the el5,12 musical inst.
help stid please?
it's actually a compound word, bbnaz... no + "via"
nice clue hetty :)
still looking for that kn5/20
no + letter before x + first vowel + 3 pt letter
and thanks stidmama for the clue!
baobab - kn is a jewish food
me too -- *waits for kn 5/20 clue*
ok, i need to go to bed, and am not getting these last three! any help? no6/21, to5/12, and wh6/36
TYVM!
so all 3 EL words have the same 1st 5 letters?
kn 5/20 xross knot with fish
kn 5 - kn + three letter suffix meaning "sort of"
yum! thx
Feather think of not utilizing something
wh6/36 -- more of a sound than a word. uses the double vowel
Kristinc HO5/12 IS WHERE THE WH***OF bABYLON will meet you--then you pluralize. Some like trgeHilton, some the carlton, some prer mo****
wh 6/36 - like the nike symbol, with a w instead of an s
bb, for which one? the no?
so all 3 EL words have the same 1st 5 letters?
NO 4,4 NO 5,10 at the end......
help - un 5,12?
Yes Feather
Minski, yes, they do
to pass a no** in class, bbnaz?
thank you hetty...why that escaped me, I'll never know...much appreciated!
NO + upside down "u" + upside down "n" + snake + second vowel FEATHER
na 4/4?
Again thanks Les. Now just the one after that
down to 6... looking for an le 4/5 combo, have ones meaning loan and slow
which would be plural
you typed it before me, bbnaz :)
OOPs, minski no they don't you said 5 letters they have the same 3
na 44 cross nah with poi
the le 4's are a late-night talk show house and a christian season of fasting, stid
the 5's add one letter to each
now the last SH5,12 which is in the run of three which includes the sea, the cut but before the gun
*house = host* i don't think he would appreciate that
omg, thank you bbnaz! that was painful, even with your very direct clue, lol
yippee, thanks, now to the pesky no list
. . .then 2 have the same next letter
finally got it. thanks for all the help guys. it's after midnight. i'm going to bed. nighty-night. lovely getting a fireworks show just before bedtime.

YAY bbnaz!
ok, to5/12, my last bleeping one...anyone?
thanks jaianniah! how are you this evening?
how about you stid?

thanks bb!
Kristinc, it looks like a compound word...the negativeis followed by the utilze synonym
thanks kristin
take the L out of your to 6/21, feather
i would like an ro 6, if anyone could oblige
now to the no5/20
yay!
I need the first et 6/21, if you don't mind...
thanks hetty, got it!
it is a shortentend form of the word to be completely complete and th****
done, featherbee?
yeppers
it goes hand in hand with the 5,22
absolutely, positively won't do that
thanks bbnaz!
good job feather
YAY featherbee!
ET + opp of lo + not off
That help stid?
man, i stayed up waaaaay too late finishing this!
Stid, thefirst et6/21 is the beginning of all the ets followed by the ending of er7/28
but just could. not. stop.
goodonya feather!
yes, hetty and bbnaz -- thanks. now 2...
Stid???
i don't have the kh and one of the ki (have the one that sounds like a gambling game)
kh 4 rhymes with one last ki**, stid
kh...think of a goodnight ki**
ok, im still not a Great babbler, but i have to say, this is my worst one yet. i only have 37 words! :(
KH + third vowel + snake
this longer delay is nice for not losing messages, but I got so used to a more instantanous response... featherbee and bbnaz, just read your clues!
stid mama, the ki4/4 you're missing is like the game but with the first vowel at teh end
the kh ends with a wet sloppy meeting of mouths; the two j
the other ki is just like the one you have, just change the ending vowel
34 to go here saintf...you can do it!
i'm stuck on the ou5/12
i'll try again... ro 6?
back at the flip if you are good Stid
baobab! that did it! FIREWORKS....
ki's have an n and a vowel each
ou + buy or ****, lose an L, bao
ro 6: the state of being ro 5
yay stidmama! yippee!!
ro 6 ends in the sometimes vowel
Put the sometime vowel on the RO45 right above it
ro6, if you have the ro 5, and a sometimes vowel
ro 6/24, having a lot of ro5/10
yaaaay stid!
hooray stid!
congrats stid!
sigh... long night.
yeah stid
Yippee for the Stidmama!
are we still in the jacuzzi? or have we moved on the the massage tables?
You have it Les?
Yes, harder than I expected, glad to be done.
oooo, massage....sounds good
yes, bbnaz *blush*
my artichoke heart is cooling rapidly but wanted to finish
back at the flip then
bye bbnaz
thanks for the help, bbnaz! enjoy your meal, see you in a few.
night everyone, see you tomorrow probably...unless it's a monster grid!
ok... two combos left, th 5/12 and 6/21 and ho 5/12 and 6/21...?
bye featherbee
good night featherbee, thanks for the help!
goodnight feather!
same back atcha!
Hetty: Do you know anyone in Yellow Grass?
th5/12 sounds like Walden author
the th 5/12 - 6/21 combo is tricky -- take the th just before, and change the last vowel to the round one. then for the 6 add a hump
thanks!
geez, ok, i'm really stuck on pretty much the whole list of re/s except for "lease"
excellent clue, fran, although i tried emerson first :)
ho5/12 is a place you stay on vacation, is that the one?
ho 5/21 and 6/21: if you spend overnight away from home, you might stay in a ho***; if you go many different places, that would be plural...
oh geez, what a night. but i'm finished!
thanks leslie
thanks folks.
okay baobab. first re is to re-lease (with a tall letter)
yay leslie!
in half an hour you can start all over again!
cool, got it
the next re 4 is to lease, followed by the one that sounds the same and ends in a vowel; followed by (for the 6/18) the plural of that....
and the final re: is "applied again"; re + last vowel, consonant-vowel
reuse
you rock stidmama, even though i just typed in the wrong spot!!!!
YAY LeslieAnn!
*giggle* that's okay, i am sure that word can be implemented again somewhere... :-)
any clues for ro6/24?
ro 6/24: the state of being ro 5.... add the sometimes vowel
ro 6/24, to be full of ro5/10
i can't believe that is actually a word
but i'll take it--thx!
you'd believe it if you'd ever seen a violinist's fiddle case... the whole inside is ro6!
half of the words don't look like real words
there was one yesterday that i couldn't find in webster's
I have 4 left need help with en7
got it
hi 9tanks!
3 left now
hey, i played the violin for years, but we never used that word! dusty, yes....
what next?
now stuck on teh se5...
;-) dusty, too!
when you put something down you, it's se*** something
got the se5
se 5 was in yesterday's -- clued variously as se*** hall; or Mother Anne Se*** who established ?schools? ?hospitals?
2nd sh4/5, 1st sh5/12
what your foot wears, one who makes that article
sh 4/5, wait for the last sh** to drop
fran and stidmama, you are a great tag team
i predict fireworks in baobab's future
:-) we are, aren't we? Thanks!
now for the so/ list
thanks baobab!
how many left, baobab@
15 left!
well, let's get cracking!
12 here baobab...we can do it!
all done
go kristinc!
YAY 9tanks!
yay 9tanks!!
how's the weather in dubai this morning?
i'm not sure which of the 4/4 i have... i have the not late but so** and the way i feel the day after a heavy workout
thx for all the clues .... out there
it is very hot here...
first so4/4 is male child with a silent vowel
the first so is like how you feel after a workout with the hump letter
it is starting of summer here... it will go on till mid september
it has been warm here, also -- though I suppose 19 C doesn't seem to warm to you?
hump letter??
the short one, after m
do you have the more so 4/4?
oh thats nothing....it goes upto above 40 c here in the afternoon
the so6/18 is not later, but so****
oh my! that is very hot! I think I would melt...
i have the so6/18
i'm stuck on the second so4/4, not seeing it
in fact 19c is nothing even in bombay (thats where I am originally from)
so5/10 is a color, if you add an r in the middle, it becomes a type of green
the so 5/10 adds the tall letter to the second so 4/4..., the 6 is the plural of that
as in green used in salads
my grandfather and his wife visited Bombay (Mumbai?) this last year and said it was very interesting there -- they preferred the area out side the city though. Said the people were very nice.
hrm, not picking up on that clue, i think i am not eating enough salad...
i think it's eaten by horses more than humans
well bombay is a very populated city (being the commercially capital of India), hence the outskirts are nice
in order, the so 4/4 are: boychild + vowel; "early"; muscles after a workout; the last is spelled like the beginning of the day when you wake up...
yes stid its mumbai
and done!
Who needs what?
yay kristin!
YAY kristinc!
Do you like Dubai better, or Mumbai? I know you have a job in Dubai... which always makes things easier! LOL
baobab, the last letters of the so5/10 and 6/18 words run backwards across the bottom of the grid
ok, i had my words out of order--not helpful a bit!
i hate it when that happens!
what next, baobab?
th/s
hold a sec... i'm trying to figure out what i have and what i'm missing
8 left, and 9 minutes, yikes!
first th: not fat!
2nd & 3rd th4/5
next th add the tall pointy letter to the first, then plural for the 6/33
th5/12, roses have them
th 4/5: th + moon of Jupiter (two vowels); the one after is th** not that
th5/12, sounds like walden author
th4/5 th** and that. i'd like th** one right here in front of me....
next th 5/12: the spike on a rose, then take the last letter and change it for the clue FRan just gave
th 6/21 and th4/6
thx you two, you're awesome
the th 6/21 adds the short hump letter to my last
final th: th + "we"
what else, baobab?
stidmama is faster than me!
kristin -- you could clue too....
un 7, 8, 4
stid.. I like Mumbai a lot.. but I also Like Dubai... But if I get a better job In Mumbai I'll definitly go back.. since my parents are back there
got the 4
th4/6 th+ upside down n + snake letter... an equivalent to therefore
un + "allow" un + th 5/20 un + th 6/33
also yo 5/14
i need the 8 and the 7
last 3!!!!
yes, family is important to us, also. We are trying to live close to at least one set of parents so the children have grandparents nearby...
un7/52 to reverse using your brain...un+ th5/20
yo 5/14 is plural of the first yo
then pluralize the un7 to get un8
yo 5/14 is the plural of yo4/6 a stylized depction of a vulva
yay
yay baobab!!
YAHOO, JUST before the flip!
YAY baobab!
congratulations baobab!
that was a sprint to the finish--thanks to my "relay team!!"
you cut it close there baobab!
well, i wasn't planning on finishing, i had 58 with a little more than an hour to go... definitely have to thanks you two!
three
see you all on the other side!
oooh one minute left
exciting
yeah, i can now go to sleep and dream about putting together words whose meaning i don't know!
*waiting for the flip*
i want to know what happens
*grin* baobab, that's a good feeling!
better dream than panicking about what i need to finish in the next 9 days!
