flip
hi all
oh LeslieAnn you beat me again! *sigh*
nice job kristin, you were going at the rate of like 7 words a second there
how do you play lol
well done kristin! that was a lot of work in a short time. (wanna introduce your spouse?)
Hi Jen. advice : run while you can, before you get babblified!
jen, you can try the "help" icon above or the angelsong's resource page link below. basically you have to find as many words as you can by connecting letters, like boggle
Well -- I won't be playing this one -- have to work at Lenscrafter's today -- Good Night to one and all -- I'll check in to chat most likely :)
Oh -- a biggie for the weekend!
bye grey
good night gw
then, if you won't run, or can't... always feel free to ask questions... and do check out Angelsong's Resource page in the "friends of babble" box at the bottom of the page
we tried! Thanks again...gotta go now...
good night Woulf!
{{**Hugs for ALL**}}
does anyone else have initialization errors on the flip? happens to me every time
jen, when we are taking "in code," like al 4/7, that means a word that starts with al, is 4 letters and worth 7 points
hiya leslie!
today there are 237 words.
okay thanks
I have tried to find words
hello helen.
and to enter then
and it won't let me
hmmm, try refreshing the page
Jen, the server sometimes run really slow, especially at times like this when lots of people are on and trying to enter words.
okay
it looks fun
what does the 23+hours mean
how in the world are there 10 words with the q?
e 7/36
that's how much time is left to play this particular puzzle. almost 24 hours at the moment
e 7/32
23 hours until the next puzzle... there is a new puzzle every day, it "flips" at midnight US central time
okay, thaks
oh okay
how do you know when it time to play
i'm going to bed - see you all tomorrow :)
it's always time to play1
oh lol
good night helen! see you tomorrow
e 7/32 x2
I'm gonna cry if my network doesn't start working better.
I think I got it finally lol
knutmeg, it's not you, I think -- it's everyone.
well, jump in Jen, and holler if you need help!
is that liv or meg talking?
thanks
so I just find all the words I can
Jaianniah -- you still on?
n 7/32
hi joey!
I have 8 words 4.25 something and 63 points
hi stid, how are you?
site
n 7/32 x2
da**
good Jen, that means the length of your words average 4.52 letters.
okay, I'll catch on here sooner or later
you can say dash joey! it's not in the grid today LOL
thanks for being helpful:)
n 7/36
why, thank you..... 8)
yw Jen, it's half the fun!
d 7/32
:)
do the letters have to be connecting
okay, this is one day I am definitely going for Lickety's list as soon as it's available! :-)
cause I'm putting in word s that
are showing up
it's going to be good gardening weather tomorrow... can't spend all day indoors!
yes, the letters have to connect jen - but you can go horizontal, vertical or diagonal. just can't use a tile more than once
okat thanks
that makes it a little bit harder lol
how do you know who wins
and words are a minimum length of 4 letters... there is a list published on every archived grid... but the real winning is setting a goal and meeting it. most of us don't treat it like a real competition.
that good:)
nice to play with people
I have 8 of the q's
who are nice
and not so worried about winning
argh. tired.... eyes not working so well at the moment.
that's pretty impressive, goofball
wahooo I have all 10 q's
Q8/55 is the longest one
goodnight
good night goofball!
yeah, i'm fading fast too, think i will call it a night. good night, folks!
'night LeslieAnn!! see you tomorrow
thanks for the help
hi all...newbie here...if I have 9 of the 10 Q's...is there a way to figure out the length of the missing one??
there is, by asking people on the chat log or by using one of the "clue" lists. however, Lickety's Clues are not up for today yet. And the Babbler's Anonymous Clues aren't usually up until much later in the day. both have links in the "friends of babble" box at the bottom of this page
d 7/24
thanks....will wait for tomorrow then...need all the help I can get :)
qu4==there are 2 qu5 there are 4 qu6, there are 2 one qu7, one qu8
Does that add up to 10
yes, goofball, and thanks!
is the 8 a plural, btw?
de 6/24-a lie?
cool..that means it's only a 4 i'm missing...should be easy to find before i sleee...zzzzz
the 8 is a plural
deceits
thanks!
baafour.... thanks ;-)
ok im really going to bed now, i can quit any time, really....

Jen, when you reload the page, at any time, and log in, the server will return all your words and points.
I've been made too feel too embarrassed to play-thanks
woohoo...10/10 Q's.....now to sleep ....nytol :)
okay, cool thanks

cored
way to go teresa, good night
oops,
see what i mean baafour? LOL
baafour please don't feel that way, every one makes a mistake, you should be able to say sorry and go on

Oreo, an all american word! I protest! :)
hi, star1
LOL Franny -- I can't stay up that late! glad I'm on the other coast!
well it IS a struggle, lemme say. but dang it if this ole game aint addictive - esp. after getting my first fireworks last night - i don't know How that happened!
I'm African, born in England--I've been called that cookie!
heh baafour i bet i know where in africa...
you did? and I missed it? YAY Franny! well done.
begins w/Gh, not what you're thinking...
thanks. what a feeling. so early in my playing history too. i think it twas a fluke. but i reveled in it allll day long :)
oh baafour...i'm from the same place
recognized the name immediately
welcome to all, joining us for the first time -- sing out if you need help.
Just 'cause I have an African inflestion, a Jamaican lilt (my mom) and a Boston accent...
what song do ya wanna hear cybernan? how about... the hills are alive... lala lalaaaa
really, ramix!!!
I am exhausted, falling over just sitting here, so will say good night and addio -- see folks later!
uhuh..i'm guessing either fante or ashanti...right?
nght stid. see you later
hi cybernan
nite stid
any is just fine franny, as long as it's in tune ;)
correct... ashanti!
oh well. nevermind then, if youre going to be Particular! haha
well, fante here...
that's cool
I went to Adisadel Coll
oh really? i have friends who went there. what yr? i was in motown
Just bragging about credentials... LOL
1979-1983
oh wow
i kmow someone who was there at the very same time
Wow, who? (don't mean to pry)
kwame pobee, kwame jantuah
waiting with baited breath to see if baafour knows those people!! ;)
heh...lol sf
:)
No bells rung; fairly common names...
wats a good score on this game?
where are you both from, ghana?
yes kimber
Kumasi here
elmina here
i really want to go to west Africa
ive only been to the east side thus far...someday
does ne one have the 10 letter word?
I don't
freckle, i don't have 10 and only one 8
I hope to talk again, ramix, but must sleep--1:52 AM in Boston! Nite to you et al.
nite baafour
first 100 down finally!!!
how do u find that many words!?!?
juice...i play a lot of scrabble...:)
the more you play, the more you find obscure words and remember them later on
ok, that would make sense, any tips on finding words for me to get, considering i dont play scrabble often, and this is the first time i have seen this game
ok 107 words down, miraculously. eyes beginning to close. happy weekend everyone! lotsa rain here - good for stayin in and playin games! ciao
114 down, 123 to go
ciao saintfranny
resit?
resit
??
160 -- good place to quit for the nite -- see y ou tomorrow :)
wtg, cy
wow, cyber, thats amazing!
ok what does the 10 start with?
i got the 8
hehh, I just started playing today - very addicting! I don't know how there can be so many words though ...
don't know what 10 starts with, and I only have one eight so far.
hi corps what's that start with?
q
iDaniel, the key is that most of them are rare or strange. You will have to look them up
Like a difficult crossword puzzle
the only one i have is q8/55
Ah I see what you're saying Samantha. Thanks a lot!
ty i think i have that
the 10 starts with H
looking them up is like cheating... in my mind
looking them up is like cheating... in my mind
Snapes Baby, thank you. I got it.
You think so, Freckle? I think I have to learn them somewhere, and if I just don't know the word, what chance do I have?
well, if u dont know the word you should read more. Not just look things up in the dictionary
looking them up is no different than using clues from other players, except that you do your own footwork
and how often do you read/use a word like enate - from last night's grid?
nicest
Oh, Freckle, that's ridiculous. I read obsessively, but there is no person alive who knows all the words in the English language.
who said that babble used all the words in the dictionary?!?
i actually like reading the dictionary. LOL! Learn new words that would not be found in books on a normal basis.
anyone who's playing this game is getting smarter, no matter how they do it
It certainly uses many of the extremely rare and unused ones
at least they're working their brain, rather than rotting it watching tv
define rar and unused?
name one?
rete
"A skeletal brass disc which is placed over the plates of an astrolabe and which can be rotated to indicate the position of the stars." Among other bizarre definitions. That's the most normal of them.
got the 10!
hint on the 10?
yea! Ry! (still looking)
build on the h 6
thanks
(and the end is another word on the grid)
It's what a straight guy does at dinner time
Thanks.
Way too obvious clue, I know, but I'm still new at this!
got the 10
before I saw Snapes clue...lol
that is a very odd word
f 7/40 X 2
Yah, got the 10. Thanks for the clues.
62 words in 25 minutes, 3 of the 7, 1 of the 8, and the ten included
100 words, 137 to go
still struggling on the 10. lol
dal, there's an f8/55 along the same lines, too.
Hi all!
I have three f7'/40's
hi nim
me too ry
Got the 10 - thanks for the clues guys. Now it's time for sleep.
but don't have the f8 yet
You have three of them, ry? Are they all built around the same base?
yes
And the f* is built on that common base, so you know.
F8, I meant
got it, just missing one f at the moment
I'm just missing one too, but apparently it's that last F7 that's eluding me
perhaps we can help each other, I have two f4's, 3 f5's, 3 f7's, and one f8
You're missing an F6 that's a variant spelling of one of your F5s. You'll get it in a minute
:)
thanks sam! my F's are done.
the f7 you are probably missing is what baby's wear...
Nope, got that
anyone have all the q's? I'm missing one
Yep, I have all of those. Whatcha got?
I'm missing one q too
hmm then it is yet another varient of the same root - either a base for the f8 or one who f4's
The f7 your missing is probably what some people play "under the table"
There are two Q4s, four Q5s, two Q6s, one Q7, and one Q8.
1 q4, 4 q5's, 2 q6's, 1 q7, 1 q8,
D'oh! That was it, Breeze. Thank you.
yw :)
You're just missing one of the fours, then. That's not too bad.
got it - thanks
Thanks!
"Come on without, come on within, you'll not meet noone like the Mighty Qu***." But there's one letter too many in the proper name.
I was missing a Q8 but got it now!
I know you got it already, but I was having too much fun with that clue to stop.
yw all
samanthjoy that was first one i got .lol
Hee hee!
hi ev'ryone...
anyclues on the Ys?
I got nothin', flerie. Sorry.
Flerie - think Tibet.
flerie- think of a bigfoot
it's ok..sam
just got back-- I couldn't believe that the name for Bigfoot got accepted--y
y is something like Big Foot
and plural--more than one--yikes
thanks for the clue :)
or more like 'clues'
any clues on the various vowels.. I'm only making slight progress on the e's, almost none on the o's or the i's
lol, nim
yenti
oops
I think I slept for too long because now I'm completely hyperactive, heh - I can't even type properly :D
Well, there's one very inviting e (in the upper right) that has a few variants . . .
not found anyway...
Ow 5,20 is what you are if you don't get it ;)
got many of those already
4 variations plus one other e5 from there so far
LOL dj
got that ow5 as well - but thanks :)
one of the o's start with a double vowel
thx
i don't think lickety's gonna have clues up for awhile on this one
Does Lickety solve the puzzle first, then post clues, or does he get them from another source?
i dunno. good question
there is no way he could solve it first - I believe that he has a program that he runs on it. it is often up 5 or 10 minutes after the grid goes up
I was all prepared to start fearing the man, if he did this in his head . . .
OMG - that would be outrageous if he did that. my candidate for head of mensa
got all of the middle i's
well, I have 147 and I just can't find anymore for the moment. good night and good luck all
iced
dash
Congratulations, ry, and joey, I can't seem to get beyond 127
don't have any of the other 4 i's however, still a puzzle
that's not bad........ i have just probably been playing longer tonight
The one inthe lower left is a 5 letter word
errr, one of the ones, I meant, sorry
I think there are 4 there - don't have any of them, could easily beliee they are all longish
I think my brain is turning to mush
Morning all - bit of a big boy then?
an i 5 from the left has 3 vowels
are there answers somewhere?
I have two of them, one's a 4/4 and one's a 6/18
good luck
and there's a 5/12 in there too
No, Jamsicle, we're just helping each othr out with clues we've figured out
any more hints - I'm not seeing anything
wow... I'm shocked there are 237 words!!!
the two longer ones start with two vowels
io*** and io****
and they are scientific words
Yeah, Jam, I am beyond intimidated
ionic
150 and I am really gone
dr god should filter this chat against the wordlist
130 and keeping a decent pace behind you
G'night
make it impossible to type a word in here that is on the list
That's a damned good idea, rycaut
How can I get any words then?
got two of them so far - thanks for the clues
are you saying you only have 130 pts left?
kidding...
No, I've found 130 words so far
ideally it would keep the first letter then just overwrite with ***'s
*ttthhhpppbbttt* Baa
so we would have a clue, just not always intentially. :)
lol
is *ttthhhpppbbttt* a word? goody
what's the benefit of being pro... don't see any difference
In theory, dj, eventually the tile stats at the bottm are going to vanish to non-pro users
This is a new layout for this page, and a temporary benefit to all
well, to new users
so, in theory, nothing but my being out of $15 bucx... :S
m-o-n-e-y, sadly
*shrug* You could have asked *before* you paid your money . . . .
it also lets you use the icons - and supports a good game and the developer behind it
*eyeroll* Oh well. I've spent $ on worse.
when I have the cash I'll go up to pro - have a lot of bills at the moment
i need help w/ my last F
It seems as if the best things (online) start out being free, then they charge money, or get ads, and then they're not fun anymore-- the web is the last freebie and should remain that way
I have 4,7 5,16 4,7 7,40 x2 8,55 5,16 7,40 5,20
Well, bandwidth is expensive, Baa . . . Whatcha got already, dj?
well, as many of my friends (and myself at times) are the people building these types of apps - I don't begrudge developers income
I don't have a credit card :( Well, not one that works here... Otherwise I'd already upgraded to pro.
I guess someone's gotta get richer...
You're missing an F6 that's a variant spelling of one of your F5s.
got it, ty
I used paypal, nim, because I was too lazy to go downstairs and find my credit card
Pathetic, no?
You're welcome, dj
4 words 'til 100, then off to bed
Also, still reluctant to give out credit card info
one word to 150 here... then bed as well
that's it, 100, to bed for now
hasta
G'night
wow, 100, grats--stuck here at 99
okay at 150 - later all
make that 102... but now I gotta go. :)
G'night
you guys are good :)
I only have 57
Does anyone have any clues on the i's? I've got one i4 and one i5
ooh, 100!
i have 48
Nim, the is are killing everyone tonight
for an s-word, what nearsighted people like me do when they don't have their glasses
I've got the is this time
it's 10:26 am to me :)
its a right royal pain in the butt is what it is!
two ic, one in, two io... oops still missing one.
with a y on the end of it
ooh, thx, txs!
no prob
yw
oo oo look at ent
enter
oops
LOL Wrong window ya great goof! LOL
good morning everyone
lor, if that's as far as you've gotten, you've barely dipped into the inviting en* category
Good morning Ruhty
a veritable goldmine the en corner..
er... Ruthy even, sorry for the typo
Clues are up everyone. Got delay because of the Saturday soccer game. Enjoy - looks like a fun grid.
no its not, I had just discovered the joys of the ents so was suggesting others look into it!
Bless you, lickety
ok, good lor!
I have 98 words left and my brain is freezing
you guys are so good at this :)
now that we've en***** the corner, let's go!
tks SJ
thanks lickety, you're a honey :)
SamanthaJoy, your brain sounds in good shape--only 98 left?
Well I've been here for *mumble* and a half hours . . .
code
oh drat!!!
I think they should make chat me-proof...
I'm missing one Q word... have 4/5, 1/7, 1/8, 2/6, 1/4
you need another 4, ABS
TY muchly!
Got it now!
Miss ABS One of five children?
tierce
aww, dammit ... sorry, everyone.
maybe as in the actor Anthony qu, skip last consonant?
way forgiven, trish ;)
quotidian
ha ha, don't you wish?
Sorry, overtired--must bed self, 'nite, all
g'night, baafour!
G'night Baa!
nite, trishtrash, samanthajoy, et al
nitey nite
I've got 8 out of ten Fs, any clues? So far I have: 2/4, 3/5, 1/6. 2/7
another 7, ABS (from the same 4)
ah cool, ta for that
Got both the ones I was missing from that clue.
some of these words are SO lame!
Yeah, once in a while it happens.
okay, I am new here...I just gotta ask.....what CLUE??
trishtrash mentioned that I was missing another 7 that was from the same root word with four letters.
seven meaning seven letter word
aaahhh
Hello everyone!! Lickety finally got home and posted clues, I am stuck!!
wotcha mrp :)
Hiya Mr P, I'm about to go to sleep for the day
big puzzle... but not easy!
Hi trish!! {{hugs}} Hi Samantha!! Samantha, how are you enjoying pro??
Well, since the stats are still visible to noobs, there isn't really a change . . .
still?? I thought that was gonna change??
It will, but it hasn't yet
oh, well the pink handbag and the flag and the icon are soooo cute!!
At least I trust in Dr_God that it will
hope it doesn't, don't have the cash to go pro and am enjoying the stats.
Those aren't handbags, Mr P, they're people
Head and shoulders
lmao @ the handbag - you're right it does look like one!
Miss ABS.... write a plea to dr.G and perhaps he will spare you !! Or, a nice babbler could sponser you??
now if I could only find shoes to match!
hiya all
A very retro style of handbag--tooooo seventies, but you're right, it's a resemblance
Hello Ornith
eep, stats aren't posted yet!
I could beg I suppose!
hehe, and "woot" isn't in the directionary
I will sponser you ABS...
dictionary. wow. I'm outta it tonight :P
Ornith ... directionary is a great word!
Ta Mr. P! That'd be awesome, what'd you have to do to sponser
I just stopped back on my way to bed; I must say that free educational fun shouldn't come down to have and have not
thanks trishtrash.
baafour, usually the detailed stats get put up within the first hour
I will let dr.god know and get back to you... send me your details in email... go to my bio for my email address
Baa, that's an unAmerican sentiment
K will do
I support dr_god and babble and I think everyone should go pro.... (and pray he uses the extra cash to upgrade his server :))
how right you are, SamanthaJoy -- I'll lighten up-- now, official nite nite
alas, I am a starving artist :P
G'night, Baa
Cool Mr P, I'm an Aussie too!
Well that is just beautiful ABS!! fellow aussie joining the ranks!!
Yeah definitely, actually I'm a teacher... my entire class gets into this. I generally print it off with one hour left to go and the kids that have finished all their work get to have a go at making words. Some of them really get into it. Makes me smile.
I print it off without the words I've gotten though so that they have to think of them on their own. Tis cute!
well, bless your heart!! a real babbler!! Good on you !!
that's a great idea ABS - wish my teachers had done that. I was always the kid with all the extra time.
LOL I've got a few of them that finish as fast as they can and as neat (so they don't have to redo it) so they can babble. Some even ask if they can "borrow the sheet" for recess.
I didn't sign up for a long time, just printed off the sheet from the start page.
awesome!
Well, we all have to start somewhere, and that is a great start!!
I'm just getting into my email Mr. P and I'll send you details.
Okay, email is off Mr. P. Will be in your inbox whenever you check it.
Morning dear gang :)
morning sprite!
Good morning Sprite
morning sprite :)
hello sprite .
Wow, the bottom line makes this a Griffum's grid :)
Or good evening I should say... nearly 6PM!
a whosiwhatzit?
bless you! *hands Ornith a tissue* ;)
Griffs usually starts chatting with the W4/11.
ah.
alas, I've already discovered that "woot" is not in the dictionary
Morning/Afternoon all Sprite have you seen Griffum on line recently I havent seen her in ages!
good morning, FMitch
Spirte! Fmitch!! hello!!
morning fmitch
Haven't seen her in a while either. I am afraid she is not getting better as fast as she hoped.
Finished; man that was a nice grid :)
Hi ya trish and MrP and ruthy I was wondering the same thing sprite.
*~*~*~FIREWORKS~*~*~*
Morning all. A quick babble before going to cricket
FINISHED?!?!? My god, trish! *worship*
PiChow!
grats finished people!
only 43 and 1:16 ugh
any ideas on the 10 letter?
ty mrp, you're a sweetie :)
wtg trish!
I had to use lickety's list for the last 25 (and my last word was a ti4 that I thought I'd typed already)
10 letter : is to generate new frequencies by mixing two or more signals in a nonlinear device
I hate that, those are the ones I generally miss. Congrats though Trish well done
lickety, is that supposed to be the *sound* of a fireworks going off??
ABS, a great clue from earlier, can't remember whose: sounds like a straight guy's dinner.
Of course - now where did I put my PHD in nuclear physics....
PiChow! PiChow!
lickety, are you being fireworks, or shooting at me?
there's a list someplace? (that's not the regular babbler's anonymous thread?)
He's playing pokemon.
LOL, it's by the PhD in Mechanical Engineering and the Masters of Music Lamancha! Just over there!
site
Fireworks!
Ornith - look at licketys link at the bottom of the page
10 letter : is derived from the Greek roots 'different' and 'power'
PiChow! PiChow!
Did you win the game today lickety?
FMitch - it was so scrapy, We lost, but I did get a goal - an Own goal!
aha! got the 10! just needed the first two letters to remember the root.
I survived with no injuries - so I'm very happy! Thanks for asking ;-)
Doh!!!
I am stuck on the power part.
and yeah, the "straight guy's dinner" clue is great :P
Ornith - Yes! Yes! Yes! That clue makes much more sense!
I tell ya - I'd love the H10 right now ;-)
well, I got it from knowing the greek roots, but yeah :P
a Greek Hetro Male
Ah, got it, thanks :)
ooohhh excuse me - I apologise - That's really bad! I'm suck a dweeb!
Not like you at all, lickety!!!
now there is an interesting nickname for you lickety... suckadweeb! LOL
overexcited again lickety!!!
PiChow! PiChow!
This just goes to reinforce how rubbish i am at sequencing i,e and c .....
Have a good morning everyone, I'm off to get some (belated) breakfast, before lickety breaks out the semi-automatic ;)
wish I was st6,21
time for me to go too, catch you later, happy babbling
LOL trish!! bye!!
lol bye you guys
bye Fmitch!
trishtrash - I put it away. Honest, it's just behind me, oh hang on. Ok, now it's really gone!
Oh no! 237 words, and 17 of them re's. Can I be bothered? I'll have to think about it. Might be back later - might not!
ExWren, our queen of suspence :)
or is that suspense? Yeah, believe it is.
You are alright sprite, not a K amongst them!
This is a beautiful grid, even though it has Re's. Believe me :)
Sooooo close to frontier!
Bit daunting if you've only been doing Babble for a few days...
Sorry for the stupidity in the log, I am as bad as those trolls sometimes! I won't make silly jokes like that again!
I'll go away and have breakfast first. Weather is not very bright so far, I might be forced to stay inside
Good morning all. Plenty of words to find today!
(((lickety)))
Morning Haz
Nothing you do could be as bad as those trolls yesterday lickety
There were trolls yesterday? Glad I missed them.
I managed to miss the trolls - Dr God managed to erase their stuff from the chat log but it sounded grim judging by the reaction.
Cute icon Lamancha
Kindergarten trolls
I must admit, I was cute.... once
In a galaxy long ago....
You still are, I am sure ;)
You're starting to sound like noblelover!
Well it's about that time for me. I'm off to make some tea and then stare at the idiot box for a while before bed time. Thanks for the help everyone and good luck.
only managed 187 words...
Good night.
Good night!
the cute blond hair went brown, and is now retreating faster than Naploeon at Waterloo...
Goodnight Miss ABS, come back to it later
LOL!
But please, promise me, Lamancha - no comb-overs!
Razor first Haz, fear not
good call Lamancha. bald > combovers!
Glad to hear that - if your hair is going - let it go!
Comb-overs... argh! I take bold over combed-over every day. :D
*bald
Not quite at that stage yet though...
I'm with you Lamancha - it's a scary time.
You will have to print an "after" photo Lamancha
Although one of my oldest friends had cancer and made me shave his head during therapy as it was all falling out - now that was weird - I think I was more freaked out than him!
It's the time you are finally becoming interesting ;)
Yeah I tried it once - at a party! Wow - did I regret that!
Ow, that's something, Lamancha.
Cancer though - that's a different story - and a horrible one. Hope it all works out.
Over 10 years ago - he's in full remission - never did get all his hair back though - even better I'm Godfather to his first daughter - born several years after his treatment despite a big dose of chemo
Hope he will be alright, Lamancha. Must have been really something to do that for him, I can imagine feeling freaked out a bit.
that's great, lamancha
That is beautiful!
Great news Lamancha! Good to hear success stories! The hair - well there is lots of us!
I need to remind him how good I have been to him.... He's going to be my best man in August.
I gotta go deal with dinner. Nice chatting - Happy word finding!
you got nothing to worry about with the hair then lamancha :P
Bit worried about the speech....
enjoy dinner lickety
Enjoy dinner! And don't worry, Lamacha, your words are perfect.
Oh, a babble wedding! That'll be exciting.
Just keep saying how beautiful the bride is and how grateful you are to everyone you've ever met.
Not my speech, sprite - the one my best man's due to make....:0
We've known each other too long and done too many things together.....
lol!
LOL! Yeah, THAT will be bad. Wish I could hear it. :)
our best man began his speech by saying that if HE were choosing a best man he would select someone with memory loss and a fairly perpetual dose of laryngitis!
So what can I give him to induce amnesia and loss of speech?
Apart from Blackmail
booze?
Take him to a football match and ply him with drink.
I'm afraid that might make things worse Ornith!
more booze than that :P
Settle it by wearing earplugs.
that won't work unless he gets everyone ELSE to wear em
At least he won't know what he is embarrassed over. :)
I find that a fork placed just in the right place with the right pressure ensures a very nice speech from any best man!!
LOL mrP!
Now there's an idea....
You have met lickety... you haven't met his friends!! A fork is the best cash scenario I can give you!
If a landscape has more cities than fields, wouldn't you say it was T7 than others?
*peers at grid* apparently not :P
Enable agrees with you, alas.
then
what were you thinking, then?
Omg, there I go again. Sorrrrry!
heh
press tab after chatting.... then LOL
More To4/8-like.
But the to6/30 refers to a person rather than a place
ah
Ah, and it has a plural. I feel much better now.
Tab after posting a chat message? Let's see...
did I tell ya!?
yay, 100 words! darn british spellings :P
A tab brings me to my own icon, I see. Better to learn to click in the Add Word box after each chat, I fear. I still think it is not user-friendly.
it gets you out of the chat box at least!!
Now, now, Queens English and all that.... ;)
Now, now, Ornith - we are very tolerant of non-British spelling. Often it gives us double words!
I am at a nice, symmetrical 111 words.
heh. I just forgot you lot use -ise instead of -ize for a bit there
103 and need to go and buy some teak oil ....
All the Britishers now go looking for words ending in -ise.....
Hah led me to my most hated word in the language...d 7,32
any clue's for the 10 letter word
well, there's definately one, haven't seen any others yet
Some great clues in the log, rosalind, if you scroll down a bit.
Lamancha, my poor husband is at one right now!
rosalind: greek roots for "different" and "power"; sounds like a straight guy's dinner
I feel for him Haz
Lamancha: I am right with you on that!
yeah, I don't like the d7 very much either
odd spot!: did you know a d& invented the electric chair?
yes, actually. figures, doesn't it?
But they're a lot better than they used to be. All that pain relief - injectable pain relief, mind you.
d7 I mean
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest
I am not surprised, mrP. Not surprised at all. Fits into their states of mind right away.
A straight guy's dinner? Nothing that a gay raw vegan would want to eat I presume...
Must go - until later ciao
Later!
Haz, um, well, I think metal probably qualifies as cooked
Haz, let's not invite THAT conversation please!
Bye Lamancha!
I wondered if you would pick up on it, mrpresident!!
ohoh, Haz....
of course I would!! Have been troubled by it too!
I've got the word anyway, thanks!
Oh Lordie, I'm dying. I have 191 words down and 46 left to go and my brain has liquified.
*whispers very, very carefully: "samantha, a little bit of sleep perhaps???"*
Samantha - go and have some sleep!
ack! cat won't stop grabbing my hand to give me kisses!
I shall go sleep soon. But first I want to rant:
rant away!! this is the right chat log for that!!
Comes from being irresistable, Ornith. Learn to live with it. Or wash your hands :)
A Babbler came in here this morning and told me that it was "cheating" to look up words that I didn't know
evening all
Ignore him or her.
hehe, he'll kiss me even if I'm right out of the shower... he's just one of those cats
She informed me that if I didn't know these words, I simply ought to read more.
did you tell that babbler to FO and mind their own business!!?
Probably a babbler who hasn't a life of his/her own then.
Politely, but yes
Samantha, that's crazy. You'd have to read geology, ichthyology, etc etc... plus know words even dictionary.com has never heard of.
I think looking up words you don't know is a very active way of learning.
thank's for the clue ornith
I'd say she put it somewhere dark, where no one ever comes, and keep it there. Have fun babbling in your own way, Samantha.
I think "crazy" was a word I used often, and I actually brought up a specific example, whereupon she slunk away and hushed her mouf'
I believe that looking up words, no matter where, is a fantastic way of learning them! What Sprite said...
yw rosalind, though it's not of my own invention :)
This is a game for enjoyment. You will learn words that you will never see written down anywhere else. I consider myself to have a good vocabulary but nothing would prepare you for some of these obscure words. You are NOT cheating.
yeah, I have a huge vocabulary, and there's usually a few dozen I have to look up.
OK, my rant is over. I'ma go sleep now
night Samantha (although if you do want something to read for vocabulary that is fun, I recommend China Mieville)
Sleep well and enjoy finding the other words later.
Sleep well, and dream of all the new words you learned ;) I have learned a lot of words here by looking them up after I found something really weird.
Good on you for standing up to this babbler Samantha! enjoy your sleep knowing that a2z is your friend!
after how many words should a noob quit, huh??? :(
talya: there are no noobs here. You play until you become fed up with it, then you go to sleep, then you come back ;)
talya: not until you've at least looked at lickety's word list (linked below tile stats) to help you find them
hi ornith
hi kat!
talya - if you are getting cross with yourself, then take a break. Don't be afraid to use other resources like word lists and so on - details given in Angelsongs resource page at the bottom under Friends of Babble.
hi how many things ave ya done
oh, for the word lists... if you see "ic4/6" it means "four letter word starting with ic, worth 6 points"
And now I must go - I'll be back later. Bye!
Bye Haz :)
I'm up to 106, been working on it like an hour and a half
oh gee, thanks for the tips, i am spanish speaker and having a hard time here, only 53 :(
ornith can ya give me one word
that's really good for a nonnative speaker!
Actually, that is pretty good, talya!
kat, maybe?
please
you want the 10? :P
what
there's a 10 letter word today
can ya give me it
Please do not give away the 10 here! Not yet anyway. Good morning everyone.
he10; greek roots for "different" and "power"; sounds like a straight guy's dinner (no, I was not cool enough to make up that clue)
relax matty, not going to give words outright
We don't give words, only clues and hints, kat. The fun of the game is in finding the words.
are ya still me friend ornith
sure kat, but it's unfair to everyone to give out words. Ruins the fun
Whew - relax programme in progress...how's the grid today? Everyone having a good Saturday?
This is so sad, enable doesn't like guildwars. No 'tengu' yesterday, no 'necro' today.
ok i wont ask
well, tengu's really Japanese.
oh thanks ornith I get now the ic4/6 thing....
what did you tell her ornith
just how to read the wordlists, kat.
If I am not mistaken, the game is from japanese origin. Could be wrong, though. Would explain a lot of the terminology!
how do you
lol sprite. I think it's just a lot of anime fans...
ornith have you got ties
kat, if you look at the wordlists, like lickety's (linked below tile stats), you will see stuff like ic4/6.
Please kat, don't post words in the chatlog.
it means "a four letter word starting with ic, worth 6 points"
no it hasnt
so a hint might look like: qu5/16 - shhhh!
so my ultimate goal is the he10/98 huh
what
It is today, talya! Some great clues in the log already for that one.
that's the longest word today. the goal is to get them all :P
rodent
LOL, mrP joins the gang
omg!! I am sorry about that!! forgot my own tab rule!!
hehe thanks mrP
I rest my case
YW Ornith!!
Oh sprite... reload and put me out of my misery!!
ornith i get you
I can't WAIT until I get broadband. I'm STILL waiting for letters to load. July the broadband is supposed to be on line...
I can't WAIT until I get broadband. I'm STILL waiting for letters to load. July the broadband is supposed to be on line...
Not my case against you, but against this aspect of the website :)
print screen and send it to the powers that be!!
You ARE excited about it, I can tell, matty :)
matty: dial-up? yikes!!!
matty!! what you doing on snail mail??
ive got 5 words
AO bloody L. We moved house last July, and the computer got busted - we only recently bought a new one, but I'm now awaiting the chance to kill aol and go broad. Sigh. Welcome to the 21st century.
That's what I call learning to be patient, matty. *hug* :)
I got those pesky R's out of the way... now onto the Q's!!
so many RE's in such a bad spot, huh?
those stinky Q's
owned
otic
orcin
ordo
shit!!
the qu's are some of the easiest ones
hey mrp.....
hahahahahahahaha
thanks mrp ;)
(excuse my french))
shit is not there hahaha
I think you mean "pwned" :P
I thought I was doing really well!! I am soooo embarassed.... I am going! sorry all, bye!!
Got all the letters loaded...now just waiting for the flags, question mark icons...and I type faster than my words are accepted. Patience is a virtue.
lol mrP, never mind, it is the setup of the site, it is NOT you.
aww, see you mrP
There is this beautiful prayer for you, matty. "Dear God, please grant me patience. AND I WANT TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!!!!"
HAAAA!
Kind of the opposite of St. Augustine... "Lord, make me chaste, but not yet"
Hehehe, exactly.
Hi all - sprite I agree with you - I never chat anymore because I also think it isn't user friendly.
Ohh Dianne - what flag is that?
I was wondering the same thig matty
I live in Hong Kong.
looks like a little flower at that size
I suggested by email to make the cursor jump back to the Add Word box automatically, but that suggestion wasn't received at all well. I was told not even 1% of the babblers post words in the log. How much of the regular chatters that is, is not to be discussed, I am afraid. Too bad, I still think it would be a simple and elegant solution.
Cool What time is it there?
it is a flower of a tree- Bauhinia. Right now it is going on 6pm Saturday evening.
wow, you're halfway around the world from me then
aw. healthy hour. i have 2:56 am
Ornith - where are you?
Philadelphia PA
I have 10:50 am. Got Apollo 13 on the box, OJ in a glass, and only 188 words left (eek)!
What part of Philly are you in, Ornith?
Center City, matty
many moons ago I lived in York PA for a few years. Got a real taste for hardshell crabs......umm good.
Good Morning from Virginia Beach, Virginia
My mum's in Yardley.
176 left, and i am watching visions...haha
visions? is that a soap opera?
Does anyone agree, btw? Would it be more user friendly if the cursor would jump back to the Add Word box automatically after posting in the log?
thats me finished better get on and do some housework now
no, haha. hallucinations!
grats ruthy
Yep.
Hey - another Dragon - knock out.
I AGREE!!!
Sprite that would be great! It's obvious that a lot of mistakes are being made.
I AGREE ! ! !
sprite - just popped in again. Something needs to be done, that's for sure. I'm not computer savvy enough to know what to do, but it is becoming a nuisance. People aren't getting accustomed to it at all.
Dr_God says it would be counter-intuitive and he thinks almost nobody has a problem with posting words in the log. I truly feel different!
I think Dr_God's name says it all, though :^)
might be counterintuitive, but we've definately all posted words in the log
He's wrong. Lots of people do have a problem.
i agree i have posted words on the chat log by mistake
morning haz
That's what I said, and I was told off for saying most people do it... less than 1%, he replied.
I don't know why it would be countetintuitive? And anyway, if one makes and error the other way round there is no harm done.
Dr_G said that? Wow. I really feel its a nuisance. Its certainly stopping me - and others I know - using the chat log
Good morning ruthy.
site
Well, if I am not the only one who thinks it is a pity for such a great site, perhaps it would be good to let him know.
I already have done ...
Well, today is the first time I've posted since the site was changed - I liked the old set up much better. this seems very "busy" to me.
oops-I swear I didn't do that on purpose(-: Should those of us who are online right now all write to him?
An e-mail from each of us might help to back you up. Plus a look at the chat log.
I am glad to see you again, Dianne. Hope you will post more often, even if you don't like the setup.
(don't look at the chat log!!) NO... I don't want to be the example!!
I hope so, Haz, it really made me feel bad to see he thought I was making waves all by myself.
It is nice to "see" all of you again - I will try to get use to this but........I don't know where to look half the time :)
mrP, you wouldn't be alone! I am with you, and Eva, and lots of others.
why don't we write one email "signed" by everyone here?
Would also be good, better even. A full mailbox isn't a pleasure.
yeah ... not at all!
Who wants to do the honors? Better not be me :(
I just wrote individually
I'll do it if people are ok with that
I've sent mine already.
oh well, in that case, I'll just send one from me :)
Well, no way to avoid that full mailbox then, but I think Dr_God is used to that.
For those of us who are rather computer disfunctional - my whole set up is too large and I can't see all of anything at once. Yikes, maybe I need to go to computers for dummys school.
For something completely different: I submit EroD7 for a really sexy torturer.
EroD7? wth?
I take it you mean the "power" root again, sprite?
I dunno, I feel like that ought to be some sort of machine..... a sex machine!
No, I mean the person I don't want to open my mouth for. If he is really sexy, he would make a beautiful 10.
ohhhh.
that's a weird fetish you have there :P
E7 - sounds more like an electronic rat!
o...k...
Part of it is E7, though. Lol Ornith, more of a word fetish than the actual thing!
talya, we're making up silly compounds, sorry to be so confusing
My brain must be broken. You've all lost me on yhour clues. I'm still looking for the ce5/12 and ce6/21 following. (I don't work strictly in order, so it's not the first words I've got lol)
Oh yeah, sorry! I was only joking, making up words that are NOT valid, giving them a meaning.
ok, brain not broken, just about to haha
matty: ce5 is woman's belts or girdles, especially as worn in ancient Greece. Ce6 is same, insert a vowel.
And ce5 is a plural, but not ending in -s.
Thought I had it, but it doesn't work...
OK, got the five
oh, THAT's why I knew it as something other than a belt. it's also a sort of gauntlet.
though I'm having trouble figuring out where the extra vowel for the ce6 goes.
Could very well be the case indeed, Ornith. Somehow it does ring a bell.
matty - for the 6 use the same first 4 leeters and think of the word for a child's plaything but change the last letter.
Me too!
I know it's in Diablo2 someplace
Nice one, Dianne!
thanks Dianne!
does anyone have a list of the 8's yet?
glad you got it :)
nope, I only have 2 so far
Just have qu8/55 so far
that's the only one I have too.
I only have 2 of the 8 so far and I am going to have to leave the rest for tomorrow - time to get ready for a dinner out tonight. It was nice to talk with you all again. Bye for now.
there's an fo8/55
there's an st8, participle of st6/24, which is a tale with an extra vowel
the fo has me stumped though; all the fo's except the ones you walk on do
I have Q8 - makes less noisy F8: like a centipede, superlative R7: withdrawn
ok, for those ce clues you all just gave, is it using the e on the left or the right of the c? :(
lol F8 is a silly word!
Bye Dianne, I enjoyed your company! Have fun tonight.
saintfranny, the e on the right of the c
the centipede clue is brilliant!
bye Dianne
The right one.
ok tx. will keep at it
I'm still on the ce6/21...
matty, if it helps, use the lower T, not the upper one
Dianne's clue was great, matty. First 4 of the Ce5, then think of the thing a kid likes to play with. Spelled wrongly, the last part.
just got the re. Thanks sprite!
Got it - good glue, hinky word...
OK my lovelies!! I am outta here!! thanks for the support Sprite!! will chat with more caution in the future! BYE!!
bye mrP!
bye Ornith!! lovely to meet you today too!!
I am off too. Thanks for thehelp. Hope I will do better next time.
Bye bye!
bye talya!
You did very well, talya, believe us! Hope to see you back soon. For those interested: the Ce6 is related to tapeworms.
Bye mrP *hug* :)
((hug)) sprite! :)
ew!
Yeah... TMI maybe ;)
Se8/45: 17th century with reference to Italian literature and art
ok! all those feet-words got me to 150... think I'll have to come back for the last 87 later
see you, all
Bye Ornith, had fun with you :)
Anyone help with my last one de6/24, not the 1st one please
Forceful order, lawlike, davetins.
TY Sprite, Can't see for looking
Se8/40: european brown bat. Close to an important neurotransmitter, leave out 'on'. davetins: it's close to 1/360 of a circle, change 3rd letter.
sprite-could you give another little hint for the italian art?
Got it Sprite TYVM
The italian art style is italian for 17 - hundred.
yw davetins ;)
the bat was easy. Just looked up the italian word for 17 but that was of absolutely no help. Sorry for the denseness!
Nope, it is just hard to clue otherwise. Let me think... First two letters of what you do with a letter or email. Then a cold delicatesse. Then preposition i4/4, without the first letter.
cold delicatesse?
Very common. And fattening.
usually with cream on the end ...
meat?
Sugar, mostly.
Made of milk.
strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, neapolitan, mint choc chip, cookies and cream ...
Atalante, you have me drooling here!
or more easily - what water becomes when very cold :P
Lol!
yes! Thank you for doing the clueing for the handicapped routine with me!
still missing one 8. I have:
still missing one 8. I have:
We all have those blind spot moments, Eva. I usually have them with much simpler words than this :)
and its a hugely difficult word to clue for
co7/32 anyone? Sigh. Moron alert...
Very,very kind of you guys:The other thing I'm not used to is what happens when I press return.I have:fo8/55,qu8/55,re8/45,se8/45(baruc h hashem!),se8/40 What am I mising
8's are: fo8/55, qu8/55, re8/45, se8/45, se8/40 & st8/55
Nope, that is a tough one, uncommon, matty. Co + vowel + a group of webpages.
Great clue - thanks. I'm dreading looking for that 10..
So it's the St you are missing, Eva. When a building is built in levels, it is St.
coesine
lol mari
he10/98 builds off the he6/21
close enough ;) matty, the 10 is not too hard to find. H6/21 + D4/7.
Sorry - can you tell I don't know the word for web pages??????
stanks for the st guys-never would have thought of spelling it that way.
mari-when you go to a place on the web it is a web s___
Lol mari :) It rhymes with my nick, does that help?
clearly spellling, or more precisely, typing, is not my forte!
Darn, 2 to go and they are just not there. But nowhere to hide for you, my little nasty shirkers... I will get you yet!
my body is clamoring for another posture. Sprite I can't believe you have only 2 left! Happy hunting and see you all later.
I got it - I got it -thanks a million all
wtg mari :)
Bye Eva, see you soon!
Got them! Another preposition i4 and the try-out T4. I feel ashamed ;) Happy hunting everyone and till tomorrow!
*O4, not i4.
hey everyone ive a mug of tea and 1/2 hour to babble :D
city
tea wont last half and hour :-)
lol CJ if only it could
Now should I got shopping or get 189 words? Dilemma! :-)
sorry not ou to scratch with the new site
Since playing babble a year back, I have never seen a 10 letter word!
Today, I'm really a cr6/21!!
anyone got the 10?
its an he10 CJ but i dont have it
i've got the 10...
sprite gave a good clue for it at 6.04
the HE part is a Latin term for opposite
is it an easy one to get or a stupid one?
dyer
cy...? Even reverse crossword solvers aren't helping me here...
sorry...
it's easy once you've got the he6
time for lunch and shopping I cant get away from it
I've got the he6 but not finding the last bit easy at all! Clue for the D4/7? I have 2 x D4/7 but neither working to make it the 10!
hair tint plus next to last consonant
jane, think elegant eating but change the 2nd letter
cy?
Good morning all. Saw that he 10 clue when I came in and found the word as the first one. Must be a grid for me then.
Bodes well for you inge, it is a good grid (so far) :)
Well done, inge. I really struggled with that one.
When you are fresh out of bed those clues work better.
neer
sorry, forgot to switch.
CY (cry of desperation)
i don't have it, matty...
i just used the A-Z lists, and the cy = cy + a heavy weight (2000 pounds)
Thanks, bookgrrl. As I said, I feel very cr6/21ish today. Gawd...
What a-Z lists, anyway?
on lickety's page, look on the right side...
you get lists of words by number of letters
Yah - got that list - I thought maybe you had a list of babblets.
there are links to them from angelsong's page too
the a2z lists use the same dictionary as babble does. you can go to www.a2zwordfinder.com/ and get more specific help too
yippee - thanks FMitch
well done jane!!
cannot find the N word
if you mean the one from the top n it is an everyday word ne4/4, think fishing
thanks, got it
H is puzzling
hets
sorry
I've got a pair of de 6/21 that are stumping me...
de 6/21 someone who says he didn't do it
Matty think "stockings"
Got em, thanks.
It's so obvious when I get the clue - why do I get so hung up on what should be easy?
ni6/21 anyone? not the sweetest
Why should you be any different from the rest of us?
Heh.
ni 6/21 my sister's daughters
Pass the fish!! thanks
Have the en4,8 but can't get the en5,10. Assumed they were connected somehow.
Rumple- not at all at the other corner of the grid
you have an en5/10 key on yr keybaord
enter
OMG I am so sorry!!!!
83 left; time for some coffee.
at the risk of looking a fool again - on5/12 anyone?
Got it
on 5/12 on + nervous twitch
Good afternoon all - just looking in after shopping and before lunch.
Hi Haz
I'm supposed to be mowing the grass!
Anyone want to volunteer to put away my shopping?
Greetings HAz, good to see you :)
I sent hubby and daughter shopping :) How about en 6/24...
Haz would love to but I'm babbling!!
I'll put it away in MY cupboard Haz....
Any old excuse, mari!
FMitch - I just missed you this morning. Nice grid, isn't it?
It is Haz, esp as I didnt have time to finish yesterdays, mid you I still have a way to go.
I didnt have time to finish yesterdays either, we had thunder which knocked our power out, and then babble wouldnt let me back in again
I'm just over half way but it's still at the fun,'Oh lookthere's a word' stage.
Ive still got ovewr 200, so I'm not saying anything yet
Whew - got it. 120 left.
There are lots of great words to find, I was really stuck on the top e and then found one 6 that lead to 3 x 7's
yeah, i got that one too FMitch, it was cool
Thank you - what an inviting series of words....
:) Aussie
:) Aussie
Arent they just Haz !!
good afternoon everyone:)
very Haz!
Good afternoon, jean - aussieme, congrats on going pro!
Hi aussieme

Congrats!
thanks Haz..... hey dinks, baby is fine
.. and then there are the f's - quite appropriate for today in the UK being cup final day.
Hi matty nice to see you here
congrats oggy.....
True! Though it still seems a pity that they have to play in Cardiff.
its Rachel
you started me on something now Matty
fonties
Oh yeah - I'd not thought about that connection - my hubby'll be watching. Anyone for bets on whether Brentford get promoted this season?
what time did you start oggy
Rachel - thingy Rachel - hi.
Matty what time is the football on ?
Hi Aussieme, how are you feeling
3.00 pm - Is it West Ham?
dunno but we have visitors arriving as soon as it starts
liverpool v West Ham
not so bad scatty, bit sore from slipping down the stairs the other day, but other than that, alright
Haz, aparently the bookies are only giving 4 to 1 on the stadium being ready for next year!
big one today eh!!!
Seriously? And they think the Olympics thing was a good idea?
how on earth did you fall down the stairs, i bet that put you in a panic
bad girl aussieme. Be more careful
Thats what I heard on the radio... !
well, i slipped down a few stairs after i had my bath, i'm alright, just a sprained wrist, and a big bruise on my bum
Go the reds
good evening mortals.
It seems that no 'public' building can get built in Britain either on time or on budget. It's crazy.
playing on neutral ground
Aussie be careful, geez that all sounds painful.
its not so bad svet, just scared me, being 8 and a half moths pregnant
good morning All!!!!!! :)
Hello shorty - you're so short, we didn't see you there!
there are some very nice words in this grid!
LOL
Hey Shorty
thats what everybody tells me!
nothing worng with being short... i'm five feet nothing
I know, Aussie you are to treat yourself like a delicate egg shell.
Baby on board yo!
I'm not huge myself! (5 2)
Im 4"9
ah, wont be long before my baby is here, 13 days to be exact
5' 3" here
Anyway, my lunch has been made (such luxury) so I'd better go and eat. I'll be back later.
I'm for West Ham - daughter is at the match - I'm babysitting the hamster and have 3 cats - one a Siamese is this a problem I ask????
How exact can you be with childbirth - my daughter was nearly 2 weeks late! 5'7"
ttfn Haz
pretty and petite, Im at the other end of the spectrum 6ft Bye Haz glad to have caught up :)
bye haz
I'm having a section matty !!
wow that's great. A new baby, nothin glike it, especially someone elses.
bye Haz, enjoy
That's good also, stay in shape an all.
Ahh - so that will clarify things...
the grass is calling me again now that qualifying has finished!
No need for all that huffing.
no huffing for me, I only got a tiny pelvis, so baby cant get into it, so a section is the way for me
does that mean you feel nothing when it happens ?
I huffed for 25 hours...long time ago ,though - my daughter'll be 15 next month (I'll be 30 in a week and a day)...
That's good, it's not pretty, I can't just imagine what i looked like, very unattractive. Though the surprise is worth it.
well, lots of tugging when they have finished cutting, and then out pops the baby
25 that's nothing, try 3 days, i could've killed myself.
Onto the he words...meaning the 10...
lol...im looking at a program about houses in tasmania
I got no surprise, mines a girl coming out
As Billy Connley said "childbirth is not a spectator sport "
ouch! 25 hours at 15/16? I think I would have *died* or at least certainly cursed one hell of a lot!
Natural childbirth my foot - if they'd said to me "mrs groves, we need to cut your left leg off" I'd have said "fine, just do it!" What is it with natural childbrith anyway - you don't go in for natural dentistry!
aussie i had sections also (4)
So true though so many people want to look. Sickos.
No...I was 24, my daughter is nearly 15!
oh! sorry!
That should have been 39 in a week and a day - my bad
why I even try and do numbers, I'll never know!
I still would have cursed a lot!
Yeah give me drugs, i say.
Morning all
I'd really rather adopt ... I'd love to do that
rots
d'oh
sooooooooooooooory
hi everyone
how are you all today?
What an interesting log - just book me in for sterilisation NOW!! You lot have put me off childbirth for life
Ha! that's funny.
Hi, I am doing fine.
Only joking - good luck with the birth Aussieme no matter what way it happens
What is WRONG with me today?! he6 is stumping me, and it's gotta be obvious. I think I'll go check the dryer (non-sequitors are us)
ok..the f's...i have 2 to do with witing..and 6 derivatives of a body part...any clues for the other twO pls...
there are 8 from the body part rolin
You need one body part, and seven extentions - there are eight words in total with the body part
oooh...greeaat..thx matty...
footy
bugger,,,sorry
he6/21 clue, anyone?
think homo...
Perfect, thanks
matty...interested in the opposite sex
i'm sorry, i'm new at this -- what does 6/21 relate to?
oups *don't think homo sorry
a six letter word worth 21 points...
Ha1 that's funny
I ment that was funny.
there is a H 10/98 too...can't see it though
steph have a look at Anglesongs link at the bottom of this page, lots of useful hints and tips
ESB - it follows on from the H6/21
I got it...um...he6 + the end of the corporation name from Buckaroo Bonsai in the Eighth Dimension...
thanks to both of you!
i can see that this can get very addicting!
It is steph so get out while you can!!! LOL
Buckaroo Bonsai in the Eighth Dimension...lol I'm afraid we don't have this on this side of the channel. I'll keep monkey typing and I may fint it ^^
lol i totally agree very addictive i am supposed to be sleeping because im on night shift tonight so be warned steph lol
OREO isn't in the dictionary. It should be! Grr.
Retracing my steps - can anyone hint do6 and do7?
I guess everyone but Matty and I left?
Matty - a higher form of teacher
ooh it's all changed since i was here last. much better
afternoon all
Hi kum, yes it has all changed.

Hmm..... Maybe almost a week ago now

TY for that, Paddy!
matty...can you give a different hint for do6 and 7?
do+ a small european or american coin
ah, thanks! I couldn't see it, but had been looking for it earlier
clue for the he 10/98?
never mind, got it now
Okay... ce6/21? not on A2Z list? Me confused...
wish i could help!
I have it by luck but no def. It is in the A - Z though
does it alphabetically come after teh ce5/21 which ends with an i?
I'm now trying to go backwards, as I'm stuck on some of the n words. Sigh.
am of folks for now happy babbling
yes, add a vowel between the last 2 letters
THANK YOU! I was looking in teh wrong direction.
tx Paddy, I neede that one also
weird that wo4/11 is allowed. even weirder that it's my first word
Well, it does kind of bark at you!
oops, and GOOD DAY, everyone!
LOL thanks!
LOL
also a bit odd that after 1 word entered, i feel the need to chat. but now I have 2 in. so it's all good
he10/98? I know the he6/21 that it's an extension of but can't figure out the rest.
My legs are getting sore (I have the laptop on my lap)
hi everyone! : )
he6/21 + the last part of the corporation name from Buckaroo Bansai in the Eighth Dimention
Dimension, that should be.
sorry comanche, it's not one of my 3 words, matty - I've done that! at least the laptop battery is warm!
hi temple owl!!!!

HI SHERB!!!!
ehy, sherb!
hi smaller :D ...Temple :D ...nut :D
hi..im new...so how do u play this game?
hi nivana! welcome! you enter words from the grid that are 4 or more letters
or you can chat. some amazing people can do both
hi nirvana... see Help at the top... and check out Angelsong's Babble Page - link at the bottom... and have fun!! :D
ok?
i would not be amazing. i have 5 words
ANd the letters must be connected up down or diagonally. Don't enter them here, but on the Add Word box.
i amworking on the te's
it's like Boggle. Nirvana, have you played that?
Temple, "terd" is not a word. don't try that one. i've entered it a couple of times. dr god won't take it
nope
thanks for that helpful hint, smaller...
see, nirvana?
yw Temple Owl! That's why I'm here.
*I've entered it a couple of times...* what, once wasn't enough?
okay,i've been properdly buddha'ed
NIrvana, have you entered anything. matty's clue about the letters in the word must be connected helps. and you can't use a letter more than once in a word
sherb - OCD OCD OCD
okay
;)
niavan: just lookfor words...either choose a beginning letter and try to find allof the words for it, or pick a sectionof the grid and find all the words in it...whatever works best for you...
Are there any tips anywhere
sherb, there's support groups for that;)
hiya nirvana
ok...hi
babble on, nirvana!! ask if you have questions, and the help thingy works too.
LOL daisy! yes sherb, for YOU!! lolololololol
Check out this link (it's also at the bottom of the page) http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues - it'll tell you how many words you have to find, and how many letters they are, and what the second letter is.
I don't know if any support group could help smaller, daisy...
yes nirvana, and i'm here for entertainment
bleh! tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I'm going to take my mom on a picnic and then to the movies, but she just recently went on Weight Watchers, and I have no idea what I can make for desert :(
Like this, Nirvana - anyone have any clues for the second wi7/44 please? (really - can I have a clue)
i like to find the dirty words nirvana
wi7/44 superlative for product of the vine
bendamalina, rip of some bark from a tree on your picnic
hi haz!!!
Bendamalina - how about chocolate orange mousse (just 2.5 points) or srawberry syllabub (take 6oz fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, 1TBSP artificial sweetener, 1 TBSO
Hello smaller - how are you?
lol smaller
hi Haz :D
1 TBSP port, and 6 fl oz low fat strawberry fromage frais. Reserve 1 strawberry and place the remaining in a food processor with the sweetener and port. Blend until smooth.
good haz!! i have 7 words and a heckuva lot of free time today!
Pace yourself, smaller, pace yourself.
Thanks matty...do you know where i can get recipes (unfortunately my mom doesn't like strawberries...but she does like raspberries and blackberries...i was thinking of making a fruit tart)
Place the Fromage Fais in a mixing bowl and stir in the strawberry puree. Divide the mixture between two small dishes and chill for 30 minutes. Decorate each one with the slices of the reserved strawberry...
Good afternoon sherb - have you got over your soccer disappointment?
en 6/24?
en 6/24?
this is soo tough
bendamalina - go to google and enter weight watchers recipes - there is a great key lime pie recipe - easy to make
Blackberry and apple filo pies for 1.5 points? Summer berry (English style) pudding for 2 points?
I'm blocking it out, Haz... it was terrible, embarrassing...
en6/24 - something that exists as a complete unit
i have 11 words...yay!!!
lol haz! Cbu - Hang in there!
wi 7/44, please?
Is there a list of words somewhere
Hey, nirvana, keep going!
It was a bit one-sided , sherb.
good clue thanks!
(I have a weight watchers cook book in front of me, but it's British)
http://licketysplitaus.googlepages.com /babbleclues - for a list of words.
yucknut! i just got a popup ad for joining the navy!!!i guess that's my punishment for using *gasp* a to z
thanks
wi 7/44 is the most wi5/22 (full of the liquid from the fruit of the fine)
you dissing the navy 72?
Thanks Bendamalina! Can I help you with any more recipes?
the ads on A2Z have got a lot more aggressive recently...
ahhh....lucky you matty...i will keep looking online, but your suggestions are great. the strawbery thing sounds delicious...tis too bad mom doesn't like strawberries
44 and i m banging my head on the wall
me? not me...just i don't want to think about work today
so you ARE the navy?
Poor cbu - here *hands cbu a hocky helmet*
hi any1 wanna chat
Cbu - try the list... click on Lickety's link below...
bleh...making dinner for my parents is going to be hard! my dad is diabetic (recently diagnosed, and he really needs to watch his sugar/starch intake), and mom's on Weight Watchers *sigh*
shhhhhhhhhhh...
Well, if you like any of the suggestions, let me know, and I'll type them out for you (the joys of touch typing)
shhhhhhh-ing
anyone got over 100 or even 200 already?
thanks matty!
shhhhhhhhhhh what
*whispers* ...why Temple...?
cbu, believe it or not, a great part of this lot finishes everyday
just yanking nut's chain.
I've got 154
wow incredible endurance :)
*twists around looking for the chain*
*whispers to cbu* - i'm not one of the finishers
nut - got busted for babbling at work...
endurance... addiction... all one great continuum... :)
no! not you 72!
fo 8/55, anyone?
on breaks which we know are not official
Temple!! what happened?
i'lll come straighten them out for ya 72
FO8 - what's on today? More to the point, it's to do with the body part.
which pie should i bring?
bad example and all...but lunch is ok! a worm pie
fo8/55 - superlative for fo6/27
okay, gimme some time to dig them up - brb!
Well Temple...are people allowed smoke breaks at your work place? Cause I would call this an addiction, too :D
Thanks Haz!
You're welcome!
lol bend! too bad i quit!
nut...that pie is for the boss, isn't it?
yes...this is a much healthier addiction....it's a replacement :D Does your workplace want you to die from lung cancer, or develop your mind?
mmm...worm pie..sounds en6/21ing
I'm sure I've monkey typed all the ty4 possibilities - but I'm still missing one, plust the ty5/16. I'm getting well fed up.
you'd make a good lawyer, benda... :)
heh heh sherb!
One sounds like a river, Matty. For the five add a D.
I agree with sherb, benda!! could you write me a note for my boss?
bend: they just want me to retire : )
any clues for co6/30 please?
ty 6/16 as one before with add d.
hang in there, Temple... :)
i ment 5/16
haha smaller...i don't think you want me to write any notes. i'm too cheeky, and it got me fired from my last job
co6/30 - looks like you accompanied someone on a horse, but change the last letter for the sometimes vowel
...if you're going to play Babble, you might as well get paid while you do it...
Thanks - I'd had that four, but FINALLY managed to monkey type the other, and the d clue was very useful. thanking you!
ooh nut- this is freaky ..the ad is "women in the navy"
LOL Benda!! Well, I think your cheekiness is great!! I'd hire you!
ha, thanks smaller
Thanks, haz. What a strange word.
HAZ-- EXCELLENT clue!!!
Thank you smaller!
i'd pay dr god to let me have "terd"
I nearly entered that myself, just to be sure...
I did...
only nearly, sherb. come on. you know you want to try.
sometimes it works...
and "terdy" should count. as in "i'm being terdy to sherb"
ty for that c6 clue haz
first ne 6/21?
You're welcome TO
i have a decided worm shortage
how about cat poo, i have bunches of that?
what do you need worms for, nut?
key lime sounded better...
smaller: for the worm pie i was gonna send the way of 72's boss
Wheyhey - 119 , halfway.....
re 6 21 ? . the fist one, please.
oh! well a cat terd pie should suffice.
btw: you may all wish to celebrate me as my evil, vile boss has been sent packing, and i have a new boss!
woohoo for lamancha! i'm at 32!!
nut: both of them are in san diego next week...but we have had another general warning about internet use
yay for you nut!! what's your first impression of the new one?
It's all downhill from here....
YAY FOR NUT!!!
What job do you do, Temple?
lol lamnacha!
firct ni 6/21
yay for evanonut!
be careful Temple... they might be setting things up...
ni not ne...
can someone take pity on me and clue me for the two se 8 words?
thank you, thank you
Hydra-are you in?
dirtyd - the superlative of being non evil
and it is quite possible i contributed to it!
There were some good clues for the se words a few hours earlier...
dirtyd- maybe, not sure if it's first or not
do you have the ni6/21 that means the most kind?
nut - it's our duty to hasten the departure of evil bosses...
duh.. i miss the easy ones..
indeed, especially when they are evil, and vile and a whole host of things...she has to go to management training!!!!!
Ooh - thanks for that benda - I hadn't had that one either!?
tier
ha ha ha sherbie
knew I'd do that eventually...
yeah, sherb. not sure why it happens more here than on the old site
and the s's are conquered!
only 200 words left to find...
do all of the f words except for 2 have the same root word?
nut- oh how warm and fuzzy - ME TOO!!! i bet we even have the same words entered.
me too nut...
Yep.
i bet smaller, we're LIKE sisters!
and sherb, we're triplets
wow! we're all mind-melded!
spooky!!
so...whos this dr.g?
he created the site and lurks a lot
dr-g, master mind of babble, he's like the aslan of babble.
the doctor is the overlord of Babble... he is all seeing and all knowing...
did he envent it
"lurk" meaning watches what we do. makes sure nut and temple owl and sherb behave
or 6/21?
just smile at smaller, nirvana... she's harmless really...
you're gonna scare nirvana off! behave!
you kidding? dr-g has never even addressed me, except when i had a babble problem, and that was in email
LOL! Yes, Ms. Daisy. *whispers* But Sherb started it.
my behavior here is (nearly) spotless
Pure as the driven slush?
nobody likes a tale-teller, smaller...
Hands nut some spot remover
ok i lied ...ned the last se8/40? please? someone? anyone?
bad sherb, bad bad sherb
LOL nut and matty!
ok...bye im going to the beach
bye:)
oh, didn't see we have a 10 letter, will i be smacked with a fish if i miss it? Bye nirvana
*looks innocent* ...what did I do?
Not until you get the he6
Hi all -have just popped in to print grid for perusal before joining the game! Have the littlies so will hopefully see you all later on.
Here's a question to ponder - how come most of us babblers are female??
ohhhh that's why. i thought it was that I don't bathe regularly and i spit when i talk
hi smaller!
hi snowy... see you later... :)
hiya snowy - have a loverly time
hi snowy!!!
smaller, that's why i keep a good distance
good girl, nut Hi Temple Owl!??? You said hi to me. did you mean to Hi at snowy? Owls should say hi to each other. It's proper owl etiquette
Good morning!
owls are for carrying messages angellaaaaaa!!!!!!!
hi Angela:)
Hello...
Matty - I don't know why that is... people seem to play Babble when they want to relax, or have time on their hands
Hi angela!!! Temple Owl - but I'll take all the hi's i can get on account of the whole bathing, spitting thing
whoops! hoot, snowy! well i must go with one s left!see you all later!
Is this a good grid? Don't know if I'll have the strength to battle much after 3 baths!
hi Angela... later Temple... :)
How goes the Babble battle this morning?
hoot, hoot TO see you later!
bye 72, here, take the poo pie
Looking at the map, more of us are female. Maybe cuz all the blokes are playing World of Warcraft and the like...
Poo pie, huh? I see I have missed a lot.
big babble battle brings on b b b b b b
what! i asked for worms! she actually may like it, she has a cow turd made into a bird on her desk.."turd bird"
now way!
and also owns two cats
Any clue on the ti 5/10 that lies between the small and the tax?
i gave a cow turd away for christmass once
you mean they own YOU:)
correct tn
lol nut...to an ex husband I hope? :)
to my uncle!
woohoo...i'm over half way done
a cow turd made into a bird... some people are just strange...
my only ex is wasting away in a prison cell, and he was NOT my husband
well they are petrifed...
Got it. I'm having Tapas for dinner tonight, appropos of nothing.
good job he's an ex...
really sherb? now i keep thinking of my untapped art resource out in the pasture.
maybe you could make a fortune from your art, nut... Damien Hirst pickled a calf...
ewwwwwwwwwwwww
i was thinking of seeing how high i could stack the shit
it's good to have a goal in life, nut...
i have many, most aren't considered nice
Mattygroves, a belated answer, my husband enters words in my list, but is not a babbler, i bet many husbands do the same.
quit
ok last call: se8/40, last of the se words please?
ingy thingy - my husband would soon cut his finger off with a spoon
oopsy, sorry
than play babble, he's jealous of babble
Of course there's a big puzzle on my busy day... Greetings, all!
j-j-j-j-j-j-jera
------jera----->
n-n-n-n-nut!!
well - i was jealous of my ex's hearts games..with good reason i found too late!
The only se8/40 I have is se plus 'decay' (three letters) and the ending of nicot***
when people post words in the log, why is it that... A) they're always four-letter words and... B) they're words you've already got...?
My husband will occasionally help, and my daughter (nearly 15) too. But yes, this is, like onism, a solitary vice ;)
sorry to hear that 72 - wanna lock him away with mine?
tx Haz
Because if the word is longer, maybe people notice before they hit return?
yeah Jera...I thought the same thing...why can't they pull these during the week, when I'm alone and don't have so many distractions...*looking behind me towrd office, where s/o is creating a solution to high gas prices and is dying to share*
Glad to help, inge.
MWAAAAAAAAh HAZ! see you all later gang!
Heh. High gas prices my butt. We pay what - around $8.00 a gallon here in the UK?
Bye TO - have a good day!
holy CRAP!
37 left for this evening
I just spent 2 freakin' hours at Staples getting paper dolls printed for the tea party. I thought I was gonna hafta strangle the copy guy.
tn - some probably has solved it, and then they were offed by the oil companies
Temple- you're doing your Frank Sinatra again... later :)
why can I not find a single no word, which direction should I be going??
The no words are failrly normal - people use a no6/21 to give news about something
laundry....
inge...there are 237 words, and you can't find one?
tx Hax, go it now.
notice
noticed
I think she meant a single no7/32 etc (which I'm also struggling on, as it happens. I have the two meaning signs, but not the no 7/32)
noticer
And just to prove it....
Go Inge!!!
teehee!!! ...inge just disproved my theory... :)
sorry, sorry, I wont chat in between.
Heh - I thought that was my theory (rather a combination) lOL
you can have it matty... it was wrong, anyway... ;)
it's ok, inge!!! we all do it. ok. well. i do it.
OK - Iooked - you noticed (LOL) the usual short word thang, and I came up with a possible reason for it. Which was, of course, disproven. Hey ho.
doing the *it's not just me* dance
joins angela in the dance. phew.
oh yeah...doin' the butterchurn
matty also said a wooooooord
we should keep trying, matty... maybe we could come up with a money-spinning idea...
yes she did. and i know that all thanks to inge! thanks inge!!!
I say lots of words...I'm good at talking. Too good, perhaps LOL.
LOL
LOL, not to be left out
lololololololol
interestingly, the first no7 word shows up as 7/28, not as no 6/21 per Lickety
oooh, a nice big puzzle to dig our teeth into! :)
time for a cuppa... brb...
I'm doing my bit to solve the gas problem... economical car, don't drive more than necessary, buy gas at best prices. We moved closer to my husband's work & he was using mass transit, but now his work moved & no mass transit goes there. But the cost of living is higher the closer we get to his work, so I don't think we ended up saving any money...
hi mia!!
wow...mia...did you just go pro recently or am I just not observant?
Me too Jera - I have an Avalanche, hubby has a Dodge 2500, and 2 Harleys... Guess I should re-evaluate :)
Morning Mia!
What are your gas prices now?
Right around 3 here next to DC
$2.90?
I rebooted and the no 6 shows up as 6/28. Happened last week once and I ended up with 7 extra points.
$2.68 in montana
3 dollars? Heh. We pay nearly a pound shilling a LITRE.
there is a no6/21
2.60 in Atlanta
Today I'm taking a trip, but where I'm going, prices are cheaper, so I'm filling while I'm there. Won't quite pay for the trip but pretty close!
hey smaller, angela :) and i've been pro since my first day daisy, hehe.
Hmm..i'm not sure what gas prices are here...maybe about 2.95 here in atlanta. i don't drive much, though
hey smaller....are you on teh map yet? I don't recall seeing any Mont. folks...
2.60?!!! where alghjr?
2.85 in pa
$2.40 in Long Beach, California
also, matty: i can sympathise, petrol is so expensive! it's crazy, i try not to drive unless i have to now.
are you in the suburbs, alghjr?
lol mia...good for you:)
Woops! That was $3.40.
Kroger gas !!
And the cars you Americans drive - any Hummer owners here?
I wish I could walk more. Getting the wheelchair out to where I can use it is pretty complicated.
2 of my friends have H2s
matty, i drive an economy car!
I'm in Lilburn
i love my little bitty focus to bits
where are you alghjr?
I have a volvo station wagons
I own a 1990 Honda Accord
We have a Renault Megane. 1.4 litre engine.
Wow, maybe it has been so long since i bought gas that now it has gone back down...there isn't usually a 40 cent difference between the city and the suburbs...usually only about 5 to 10 cents
Looks like I'm the outcast :(
I have a toyota starlet
I've written a review of it on Ciao and Dooyoo (shameless plug). I used to drive a Lada. It's a russian car. Why are you an outcast, Angela?
I have a twingo
done! finit! yay! woot! Huzzah!
we have a Jeep Grand Cherokee...he needs it for work bcs they send him out in the sticks alot
falling a asleep... 60... ><
i want an escape hybrid
Gulp...Avalanche Matty...
Yay Knut!
What's an avalanche? Besides a load of snow falling down a mountain, of course.
yay knutty butty
in case you are taking a survey, we have a VW Passat. Pretty good mileage.
It's basically a Suburban with a truck back end. It's the one that converts from truck to SUV
Back into the grid!!!
gee angela, but you cringe everytime you press the gas
I'd love a hybrid... wonder how long it would take to pay foritself?
Oh. You should have seen my Lada (Russian car). It had, in the instruction manual, an instruction telling not to iron the seatbelts...hurm...
Sure do Nut - it's usually $60-$65 to fill
jera, i understand the cost of maintenence kills the savings
I'm free! I'm done! Free at last!!! Whoohoo!
jahnaihaihaihaihilkah - yaya
Plus - where does electricity come from? It takes energy to make
if we're weighing in on cars, I own a 2001 Saturn, great gas mileage, and the second Saturn I've owned. Morning all by the way -- Happy Buddha Day
lectricity=cheaper than gas
MAtty - Iron the seatbelts????
From the turnign of the wheels, I think - a dynamo
Morning CH1212
with the hybrids, angela, the electricity is recovered from the energy recovered from braking
What's Buddha day?
BIG thanks to my daughter, Knutmeg, who monkeytypes better than anyone I know......
sorry meant to say energy usually lost to braking
Thanks Benda - I wondered, but never looked into it
I don't think there actually is a Buddha Day, but that is the theme today so... :)
Can anyone clue me on the te7/36, please, pretty please...
Oh...that's why you hav ea wine avatar lol
matty - word!
Someday I would like to have enough money to be able to afford to care about the environment that way (buying a hybrid).
??? Wine avatar? I updated to Buddha when I first signed on... yikes! (scurries off to double check)
I have been thinking of getting something different for a car, but not sure what I want...I've had the Avalanche for 4 years now (2 different ones)
Huh, Evan? Me confused...
It rhymes with what you do to your ears to put holes in them
The third re 6 21 ? Please!!!!!!
wi 4/8
He, I am aslo waiting gor te 36, whats going on???
looks for a wet noodle
(returns) I DO have the buddha, but probably those who were on before me haven't refreshed in awhile, so it still shows yesterday's
I have 70 words & am slowing down... debating getting serious for 15 minutes or just chatting... I have to get ready to go soon...
Past tense of re4/4 grim
My friend is looking at buying a Lexus hybrid - but it's 50K!!
Has to do with horses and their tack
I see a Buddha for you ch...
Yah - because I'm on *spits* dialup, I don't refresh...
escape hybrid starts at 25k
matty- My house still uses dialup. But I'm currently stealing my neighbor's wireless connection.
thanks haz
You sounded desperate!
Hey Leigh - who's your icon?
And bravo for you with the wireless!
I didn't spend time finding an icon... prolly will after I get back this afternoon/evening
Martin Brodeur, the goalie for the NJ Devils. *pets her stuffed bear keychain for good luck*
:)
needing to share my victory: went to salvation army last night and found a $25 desktop organizer for $2
I'm obsessed with him.
Nut! that's awesome!
hazel. it always amazes me how i can miss the words. once you see it.
Quite alright Leigh - we all need a hobby :)
Oh, I know - sometimes I even have to check what the path is!
any hint for the 10 letter word? :p
True.
hello?
two more to get , but they are only 4 and 5 so can't ask for help
how do i play?
Well, you can if you want. We won't talk about you behind your back!
I'm still after the 7/36, pretty pretty please
lara, make words like in boggle!
Which 7/36 Matty?
i'd help you matty, but i don't have it
sorry - te 7/36
Hi Lara, you find the words, type them in the box and gradually get all the words but its hard
te7/36 - usually seen with in in front to mean strength of something
ooohhh, ok cool. thanks. i'll give it a shot
hi lara
hi lara
warwie, howzit bru?
Fab - thanks!
if you look at the grid below the game, it tells you how many words begin with each letter.
sup bitch
sigh...
can you do 3 letter words?
Rachel - how are you getting on?
(((angela)))
Four letter words and over.
No 4 letters upwards
aaah, thanks
and plurals?
don't ask !!! with visitors or the game ?
Yep - plurals are fine
and plurals...yes
tx nut...thought I smelled trolls...?
Warwie - mind the language, please, or go and play somewhere else...
Game! LOL. We're going out in half an hour - and I still have 46 left. Sigh.
dent
entist
dent
lol! warwie, ya, mind your tongue,
dont know, haven't put my dr. cap on yet, i can't diagnose without the dr. nut cap
talking to my friend not yoiu and didnt know that wa such a rude word all of a sudden
*blows off the dust and hands Nut the cap* Go to work grasshopper
ok then, the last 4 and 5 ro. ? i don't believe they exist
he10: he+crosslike letter+2nd vowel+3 letter word for pole + 2nd to last letter +thing you throw a basketball into minus last letter.
*hunts for dr. nut cap* - oh thanks angels *clamps hat down upon head* GASP!!!!!
footsie
See what I mean? There is potential here...
They are ro4/4 and ro5/10 - (French for roast) - decay plus third vowel and then pluralise
Warwie, if you wish to speak only to your friend, please find some other way to private message him/her. this is a public spot for posting, and that IS a rude word. Nothing sudden about it. Please watch your language.
alien ex clue xx
potential? ...it's clear to me...
ta a lot haz

I'll try again. te4/4 (number related) plus the ending of what London, New York and Paris are examples of
you have spears over your fireplace? ...that's handy...
Or to be grammatically correct - of which..... are examples.
Ohhh!!!! Thanks Haz!!!!!
*feeling dumb now*
sherb - I think she wants a troll head
yes, please be grammatically correct Haz, or smaller will complain...
i want the whole body, got a cousin who is a taxidermist
Angela - she's brave now they're gone...

kakk, have a seat on the sofa...*pats sofa* so what is the source of all this agnst?
wither this sad foul existence?
*wonders if kakk knows what angst is?*
maybe kakk can google it
Fireworks. Finally
pls dont say crap - its rude
explain the urge to live under a bridge
warwie, have a seat next to kakk
love to
explain the need to call people bitch
why such animosity
oh boy...
what does this stem from
no need - her and i find it humourous - mind yoiur own business
did you wet the bed as a child perhaps?
she and i dear, not her and i
you made it our business
No, I did but it did not make me swear
anywho, whither all this animosity and crudenees?
i'm very interested
then help me find a word
*patiently waits for an answer*
Probably because he has a vocabulary of just two words, and so cannot play the game properly. Stupidity is rife.
tsk tsk, judge not lest ye be judged, i'm sure there's some great painful past for these trolls
some one peed their pants in kindergarden perhaps
*chuckles*
thats not helping me find a word, spoilsports
i know, they're all having a bad hair day...
come, come fellow babblers, this site is openly accessible by all kinds of people - there is no rule that states we must all be middle class adults is there? Live and let live.
it's cool, it's clinical, it's relentless... I love dr nut's bedside manner
no angst people. just a healthy sense of competition
dinky - er i mean dinks, whatever is wrong? are your eyes working okay?
with the help of "lunettes"
ah, kakk found angst i see...
let us babble then kiddo
another case study put to rest by Dr. Nut - Bravo!
may the best babbler win - oh, and you're not helping yourself win by typing words into the log btw.
Off to tapas with 40 left. Hurm. Maybe later! Cheers.
Bye Matty
Bye Matty
bye matty dear
what's class got to do with it?
later matty...:)
sherb, think they mean some must be lower class
I don't care about class... but I don't like foul language and I don't think it should be condoned...
s'okay sherb!
hello?
Hey rolin
heeeeeey ROLIN
Hello rolin!
*edges towards dr nut's couch...*
I agree Sherb- all are welcome here, but there are kids who play so language must be watched.
hi rolin :)
aw, sherb, i specialize in trolls, but you can have a seat
helllo all.
Not to be too snooty but maybe only pro players can post in the log that way anyone visiting can't "talk" to us and trolls would be lost
Foul? Just teenage vernacular.
hi scribble :)
ugh more trolls?
oh good ppl are here...these 3 o's in the corner... i have the plural...and the crystal...any clue for the thirds pls?
Evanonut, were you here yesterday for the troll gaggle invasion?
scribbly!
Well, I think b*tch is more than just vernacular
boys, that was not part of my teenage vernacular
speedfreak i cant upgrade till my mom approves so its not my fault.
inge..wasnt that funny...all hail hurshy
mine neither but times they are a changing
inge..wasnt that funny...all hail hurshy
hey dr. nut!
i was not ingy, sorry to have missed it
clue. iron
teenage vernacular...designed to offend...
That is the major downfall of my idea scribble we would lose the good ones too
i think boys and i will have to agree to disagree
Did Hurshy ever report the punishments??
she did Inge
at least I thought she did...?
angela what was it?
actually, i disagree with hurshy's actions.
rolin - do you know what the number values are that you are looking for with the o words
yeah i understand your idea though and i wish we could do somethin about it.
What happened vis a vis hurshy then?
I just don't go along with the 'kids will be kids' approach... it's the responsibility of adults to set boundaries...
Good Day, peoples!
what was what Rolin?
CHIXIE!!!!!!
hello
no haz..nor the second letter
((((((chic!))))))
hdey chic!
whoops...hey
hi chic :)
Boy if Hurshy reported the outcome, I missed it. Could she post that soemwhere for us who need to know.??
Angela, Nutty, Scribble, Hey!
Hola!
how ya doing chix de clix?
boyz...we were inundated with teenage horrors..at school..using this as a chat room.. they were stupid enough to mention their school..hurshy called the school and ratted..lol
hurshy, can you update us?
Inge - I don't think she reported the outcome, but I do believe she was going to report the kids. She foud the school website
Oh I see Rolin, lol
Hey, Sherb! Getting ready to go out before it gets blazing hot; supposed to hit 100 deg. today...
well, i think any kids posting that much info, were setting someone else up for a fall.
it was classic...did my hi school teacher heart proudgh
where are you chic ?
Hurshy, I caught some of that yesterday, but now that I hear the whole story... you're my hero...
zI know she spoke to the school's principal and left her phone number to find out the results.
I think it was probably a waste of time, I don't know if that was actually where they were from??
100 deg!! ...we have a balmy 70 here...
I'm in Tucson, dinks
Hi from France

I believe Peri needs the 8 letter words gramma

JenA - I still hvae 114 left...
Need a break. Sore from sitting so long. There must be some laundry that needs doing. Will be bakc later for the last 21.
any of them gramma, please
wassup - I worked out, watched TV...

Jena - so you have the "did you get this one..." "what about that one" over your shoulder... I've got that to
WI have a wi**** roast and I'll bring the buns
inge if you need laundry to do I have some you can fold :)
that sounds better than a baby shower! my sister's expecting her second one this year! she delivered her first one in june and she's being induced next sunday with her second...

or6/21 - add anagram of ci4/5 relating to film
Actually I should be ironing and mending. First the wash. Ill be over later to do yours CH1212.
jaykay.
still waiting for clues for any of the 8 letter words, trying to be patient :)
:)
SE8- small brown bats
or5/12 remove a letter from the or6/21
that's a relief DB
qu8//55 - makes a room less noisy
thanks inge :)
fo8/55 superlative for fo7/40
ti6/21 and ti7/36? Are they from the same root?
DONE...anyone need a clue??
re8/45 reluctant to speak
unfortunately i can only be a 21 yr old boy once... and i plan on doing it well!
a word for reluctant to speak. ha.
SE - plus a vowel- plus your small coin-and another vowel= Italian literature and art
se8/45 - italian for six hundred, and se8/40 se, plus decay (three letters) plus the ending of nicot***
DB just don't get hurt and have a great time - enjoy!
yeah, it ends fast and furiously dbridges. i am only 25 and still feel old. then again, i have a busy family
<noob question> What does SE mean? </noob question>
fo8 the most fo6/7
st8/55 - refers to tallness of a building
lol, liver damage isn't technically "hurt" =)
SE is the first letters of a word, daniel
are*
ti6/21 and ti7/36?
no, and plenty of milk thistle combats the liver damage.
DB - true. :) Saw a t-shirt the other day that said "the liver is evil and must be punished" :O
so fo6/7 means the word starts with "fo", is six letters long, and is worth 7 points
db are you in CA?
found the re8 and se8/40 so far, thanks
ti6/21 - the same ending as Mary P***** the tennis player. The ti7/36 is the past tense
si si. That hot bed of sin, Stanford, CA
milk thistle, eh?
that's great angela. i should get that for my husband. he's collecting shirts that make him draw attention.
and your going to Stanford then?
Haz...errg...I have no idea about tennis.
yep. i'm a junior.
congrats, dude!
tierce
Yea, peri!
thanks =). I've no complaints.
whoops. sorry
what are you studying?
i'm double majoring in Political Science and Philosophy
yeah, and milk thistle is supposed to "aid in liver function". my husband takes it and never gets hung over anymore!
Thx Haz :)
wassup - I'll try and find out where they got it. It's a little store in NH
BBL I have to run the garbage
i still can't wait for my "Bad grammar makes me [sic]" tshirt to come in the mail.
isn't that a double entendre?
LOL DB!
isn't that the best shirt EVER?!
cool, thanks angela.
josh(hubby) has one that says "This is my clone". Every time he wears it, i laugh
gotta go before it gets too hot, later, taters.
bye chic!
help for the q8 would be most appreciated
bye chic!
am i the only one who gets a world of grief because of "re" words?
peri, shush more plus plural
Sssssssshens
qu 8 = qu 7 plural
periwinkle - to the peaceful qu5/16 add the ending for the te4/4 (number)
i'm going to the local farmers' market. hoping for some good produce.
bye wassup - love the other t-shirt :) I'll see what I can find
thanks, see you later.
bye wassup
(isn't that contradictory?)
well gotta run my sons sleepover guest home... 20 miles away I find out this morning... man I'm such a mushroom
bye wassup!
Thanks so much Haz, never heard of that qu7 word and its plural
by katryn!
Glad to help, periwinkle.
I've been at this for 2+ hours...only have 150 so far. I think dain bramage is setting in !
ooof. well if everyone's leaving.... i guess i should drag my sorry butt to bed, finallly -- at 10:15
You're doing very well - take a break and you will see things with fresh ey4/6
bye dbridges!
ive been here for 2 hrs and i only have 45 words. :(
missing first qu4/7
THX Haz, good idea !
qu4/7 - If a lady has five babies this is the start of the name by which they're known
found it
im missing one Q word...any ideas waht it is?
You'll need to give us more to go on than that!
i have the one meaning 5, the one that is the first part of that, the one that means to stop and its plural, the peaceful one and plural, the 7 and its plural.(the 7 is built off the peaceful one)
and the one that is to stop plus 2nd vowel.
qu5/16 - the 'five' one has a plural qu6/27
thank you haz! huh...thought i had tried that though...
Glad you got it. I must go and prepare some food. Have a good time finding the rest of the words.
bye haz!
hi all - did anyone get a less than enthusiastic reply from dr_g about the chat log?
no Atalante
Good morning, everyone :)
heya
Oops -- guess it's afternonn or evening for most of you!
how could the letter 'F' get 10 matches?
Atalante- what about the chat log?
Hi Atalante - what was the request or question re the chat log?
Cbu - the same way the qu does too urgh!!!!
fony
It's morning here
oops
oh some of us earlier sent a little set of emails to dr_g asking whether the chat log could be twiddled slightly so we don't have people entering words so often into the log rather than the add word box
nope i got 9 'qu' but only 4 'f'
any clues for HE 6/21?
type of sexual preference for HE 6-21
opposite of homo.
Cbu - 8 of the f's all come from the same root word if that helps.
kkiln, another word for "straight" as in sexual orientation
Thanks alot....got it.
Oo
151 left to find, but look like a thunderstorm is on its way, bbl
cr 6/21?
8 of the Fs? I have 7 total, and 5 of them are from the same root.
a lowlife
that's for cr6
cr 6/21 -- base person
The OR's are killin' me man!!!!!!!
i tried the low life one.. i must be spelling it wrong..
is it spelled like an island nation south of greece?
Have 7 of the f words to do with digits: a four, two 5's, three 7's and an 8 -- what am I missing?
no
well then... i need more help please.
re the f'sjust keep adding all the endings you can and expand then cos there is an 8 in there, the 2 f words that dont come from the main root word are to do with typesetting.
cretin
whoops wrong box..
sorry all..
FMitch -- I have the 8 -- is there a 6? or how many 7/s?
cybernan... I think that you are missing a 6 letter word that is an alternate spelling for one of your 5 letter words
Got it -- thanks, all
gotta cut the cord for now - bbl :)
have 3 he 4/5's, he 5/12 and a 6 -- which he am I missing?
thery run - 4, 6, 7, 7, 8, 5, 7, 5. (thats number of letters only) for the words from the root one. I can post the 2 letter list for the f's if you want?
Not for me FMitch -- found the missing one (see 12:39 post)
yeah, the fo8/55 is killing me too.
or just me now. hmm.
for the fo 8 - think most
thanks for the number of letters in the Fs, I'm only missing the last y letter
that y should say 7
fo 8 is the most fo 6/27. I'll trade you for the last fo 7/40
a table with the most legs is fo/8
joey. i thank you. :)
yw
fo 7/40: plural of the 6/27
vpchat- you play this under the table with someone you like...
I got the comparative and plural of the alternate spelling one
I have that one, misshoax, it's a later one I'm looking for - the second last fo
huh. that is the last 7/40 for me.
have 3 he 4/5's, he 5/12 and a 6 -- which he am I missing?
THX misshoax
no problem.
vpchat - have you pluralised yr 6/27?
he/10
my mistake - I'm missing one of the other fo7/40. I have two - plural of fo6/27, and under the table play
thanks, Otis -- got a clue fot it?
the 6/21 is a prefix for a pretty cool science word
more than the first 6/27...
Aaahhh add a letter to the 6/27 and the word falls between the 6 and the pl 7.
he 10?
he/10 -- use he/6 as a prefix
there it is! thanks FMitch, and everyone else for your clues :)
woohoo vpchat!!!
hiccup
hi all, can I get a clue for fo 6/27?
hi all, can I get a clue for fo 6/27?
hi all, can I get a clue for fo 6/27?
he - great clue from late last night - straight guy with a word that sounds the same as another word for eats
he - great clue from late last night - straight guy with a word that sounds the same as another word for eats
i think the chatter hiccupped........ again
sorry.... for the echo, horrible connection!
Thanks, Joey -- found it.
yw, glad to help
the new babble is still very buggy I think
on 5/12?
i am a moron
retsin won't work..
wah
fo 6/27... anyone?
87 words left..
the one everyone was just mentioning???
on 5/12?
anyone..
theres a million words in this one!!
dirty....on + a nervous twitch !
ontic
tanks!
shoooot
million sorries
NP
first wi6?
any hints for the second en7/32?
sounds like a really small thing Angel but spelt wrong
nevermind, i'm a dim buld.
or bulb, sheesh.
or 6/21?
misshoax --- the noun for the other 7/32....just lthe last letter changes.
en7'32 -- another conjugation of en 6/21
en 6/21: to lure
or 6/21?
thanks, cy. I didn't have the root word to start - so the build on clues were useless to me.
not that I was the one who asked, but am looking
I am back. Did the server fail again? I couldnt get on two minutes ago.
don't have the or 6 yet
I just read in the log about the hiccup. Maybe I am causing it, since it always happens when I am here.
he 10/98?
or 6/21 or + homophone for a geometric term
ty ARB
sill don't get it..
he 10 is built on the he 6 before it + homophone for eat well
A homophone is a word that sounds like another word but is spelled differently : waist & waste
YW cybernan
i just got it, but man that's an obscure homophone
i get that.. do you me he sound like the way a soupl can be..
I was trying to do this listless, but think I will have to resort to Brandyjack's list -- still have 70 to go!
Otis, I couldn't think if any other hint!
cy, I gave in with 65 to go.
ooo whats the 10 worder?
letterer*
not meant as an insult against you clue at all, just an observation
The latter ti5/10 and ti5/12?
ti 5/12 religious offering
ti 5/12 -- ti give a part of your income to the church
cool...I should have seen that one. Thx. The other?
Looking for an o from the top row -- have the one that ends like a drug you take for bacterial infections -- the other?
ti 5/10 sounds like what the fat lady says about the 2 dress she tried on -- "this one is even ___ than the last one"
can't find that homophone for eat??? any other hint?
Thx. Wonder what that means
Not just eat but eat well, especially at a good restaurant
how about - your house has a living room a bedroom and a room to eat in?
Cy -- it's the word before it without one of the vowels in the middle
1st 6 letters of the he is opposite of homo and the last 4 letters are about eating...
about eating?
I'm working without a list still ARB -- missing a word from each of the o's in the top row. Have a 6 and two 4's -- missing?
like the di**** room table with a y
not really...it is to have an evening meal but spell the word with the sometimes vowel instead of i
it is as if you are eating with your daughter Krystyn instead of Kristin
I hear all of you and I found something for that eating room (spelled funny), but it is not found in the dictionary! Ugh!!
Cy -- what you need is an or 5 which is the or 6 word without one of the vowels
or 5 ends with a hononym for catholic guilt?
thanks
dictionary says the meaning is about mixing radio signals
Thank you ARB and everyone else....I finally got it!
I mean thank you Scribble....and everyone else....
YW
Yw
i feel smart...just got the EN7
scribble, there are 3 er7's

oh//....
not homogenous, but he****geneous
i cant find the rest of the word!
the last 4 is a D4 word that has to do w/ eating but with the sometimes vowel
The He 10 is what a striaght man does when it's time to eat.

Oh, well, Yay anyway cheater pants! Bye again, baobab!...Hello, ren!
'cheat-nosed baboon' is a term my girlfriends all the way back from grammar school still use - we even have tee-shirts made up with that saying

Rish, did you see my clue?

freckle . . .tooth fairy.
de 7 is plural of preceding word, meaning to give someone a wrong clue, or falsify, or just act behind his back,
Freckle, just open your mouth wide and let the doctor look at your teeth
co7???
There are a couple of de 7s, actually
any help on qu 4/7 and one of the qu 5/16's anyone?
Dkerry, which 1 do you need?
so, no one noticed my new purse today, :(
I hate this job....I QU**
i saw it earlier helen!
Don't qu**...You'll find it!
Gramma, I have that.
pretty yes, it got it yesterday!
you look simply smashing darling!
ty, ty :))))
So I do have the 4/7, what two am I MISSING?!?!?
Dkerry, do you want the 1 before the babies?
woohoo!! congrats helenk :D :D :D

that is the 5 of a kind, minus the last letter
ty sherb!
ce6/21 anyone?
that may be the one i need
No, i have that one Nrkii
gramma, your co 6/30 clue is driving me buggy. I don't think I know the word. Can we try another way?
CE6/21- take the ce/12 and insert an extra vowel near the end
seriously, I have learnt a lot about using the internet since I started babbling... sourcing icons, researching the meaning of words etc... it's educational!!
hi samanatha !! didn't see you there earlier :))
Sure SamanthaJoy, ca plus a fishinging pole plus a sometimes vowel
got it. Now I just need the last 5/16
yes sherb - very educatoinal, spent more time learning new things about buddhism than on the puzzle today, lol
thanks, gramma
YW
Thank you gramma
gramma, not getting which ce12 you mean to get me to ce 6/21?
...and it can be distracting... :)
co 6/30: ring that forms around moon, drop last two letters and add dy
too true!
Any clues for Wi 7/44 greatly appreciated...
ci4/7 just can't see it
CE6/21- take your 1 above it and put a round vowel in before the last letter
wi 7/44 is the most wi 4/10
peri, not the country
I live in the country. Do you live in the ci**?
ci 4/7: urban area
nrkii, thanks and inge thanks too
go it gramma
CO6,30 anyone????>>>>>
Thanks invictus
kkiln, wi 7 is the most
gramma, I think I'm missing the 5 that you're referring too, that's why I can't see it
yw
freckle, I just gave a clue for that
i need one of the first 2 re6/21 - hints plz...
when something deteriorates, change the last letter
I think I;m missing the first three words... ce4/5, 5/12, 5/12. any hints?
co6
one is what you do when you read a poem from memory
co7?
re 6/21
nrkii, which 1?

Lets roast wi****. I'll bring the buns
Ornith think coins

thanks gramma, we call them hotdogs :)
gramma, ce 5/12
I'm proud of myself. I found 83 words today before printing the help list :)
have to take a break. Back later.
ce5/12 is latin plural for a womans' belt or girdle
THNX ORNITH
the ce5/12 can also mean a sort of gauntlets
Bye, inge!
Good for you, batty!
And that's the one that the ce 6/30 is an extension of, right?
yup samantha
Because I have the 5, I just can't make a six work
Yes
ce5 put a round vowel in before your last letter
Is there more than one ot?
samantha, first four letters are the same; last three letters (overlaps) sounds like a child's plaything
Hiya, everyone!!!!! I just have to say, if nobody recognises my birthday celeb today, they're either lying, blind or mad.....

Oh yes it is, Helen.....
nope I'm stupid. I looked at it fifteen times. I wrote one of the words down on the paper twice.
doesn't look like Stevie Wonder to me either
Yes, gramma, and it only took a pint of blood and an agreement with a minor demon to do it
doesn't look like Stevie Wonder...but hey... he's one of my idols... :D
ok the guy in you profile IS stevie wonder - this guy here in the chat is someone completely different
co7- co plus a vowel plus a building **** ( nothing there yet.just the *** where the buiding will be)

Hello, hate my life:)
welcome back Temple :)
awww smith - let them spend some quality time together - i think you need this more :)
Hi Aussieme, keeping you in my prayers
thanks gramma
That's what I'm sayin'!
hi smith chick
wow aussie- a baby in less than 2 weeks
alls going well so far rumple
ce5,12 and ce621 are killers. Can anyone help?????????????????????????????????? ???????
already have more than yesterday
YW, Orinth
Is this your first, aussie?
Gramma? The clue you gave was for the co5. I need the co7.
I second that, Freckle!
freckle: think baskets...for the root.
I love babies! I'm done, unfortunately. My youngest is 8.
no chick, i lost my little boy almost 11 years ago. Taken me a long time to get pregnant, including 3 miscarriages
if you know the game hai alai...or the spanish or french words for basket
hmmmmm.... de6/24 and de4/7?
:-(
Freckle, follow along...ce plus the 1st 3 letters of a childs game pick up *****
wow aussie
SamanthaJoy, I gave that 1 too
I'm sorry, aussie. I lost my first 15 years ago. Then a miscarriage and then finally had my son whose 13 now. I feel for you.
things happen, but its all going well now
baskets? -- what kind of baskets?
Than I just couldn't find it. I've been scrolling back but it's chattery in here today.
fingers crossed
orinth, de 4/7 is what criminals may do when they are accused
Would you be kind enough to repeat it?
I'm glad all is well now, aussie.
Well good morning to you, sherb
uh-oh sherb is freaking out !!!!
at least we dont have all those students we had yesterday
nan: the kind they catch the pelota in
CO7/32 co- plus a vowel and plus a building ****
whoa, sherb, what was all that?
oops!! ...just shows what can happen when you press enter...
still need de6/24
SamanthaJoy, just the lot of the proposed bldng. is called the ****
gramma, building ?
don't know what pelota is either -- some kind of fish, I presume -- but I got the five --- looking for ce 6 now.
Someone who lies a lot is full of de****.
thank you gramma. got it now
oh, got it
Okay think of a funny way to spell vision
Oh good
i know pelota is a ball, but that's as far as i got with that clue
oh, smith, the other 6/24, sorry
this is sad - 96 to go & only 1 grey box :(
BBl
Well, I guess i need that clue too, Ornith!
bye gramma thanks for all the help
bye gramma - nice 'racing' you , lol
Bye, gramma
orinth, a king may issue a de**** to let people know how things will be
thank you nrkii!

TY, nrkii!

dr5?
good for you, HML
dr 5 sounds like how you are with your clothes on
thanks samantha
The only dr5 I have is like a funny past tense of being attired (actually I guess it is the being form, not past tense?)
only found i think 11 words last night
drot
You get better and better the more you play, hate my life.
ahhhh, it's archaic, got it
It takes a while. You likely won't finish this grid--it requires a certian rhythm and if you're not there yet it can be frustrating
Just keep plugging away. You'll be better next week than you are today.
i don't think i'll ever do that, looks like i'll be pulling a d in english
hml, it helps to look for multiple parts of speech of one word... ....er, ier, est, ed, es/s...
hello all. How is this grid?
this grid especially has lots of those
helen, re ce512/6/21: if you have the ce4/5 and the ce4/5 they come between, there's only one letter in between the two for the third letter
took me a few days to finish a grid, and then yesterday, i couldnt get in because we had thunderstorms, and my power went
Hey, musicmom...It's okay...I'm still missing 47 and so far haven't gotten the list out.
oh but, hate my life, this game ought ot help you in english -look at all the new words you can play 'stump the teacher' with, lol
I give in -- going to Lickety's list now!
hello musicmom, this grid is driving me nuts already
LOL two conflicting points of view.l I think I'm going to to try to find out if we are going to a movie tonight before I start.
Hi, Musicmom. Do you have this rain too? Beginning to check the Bbile for instructions on building an arc.
wah, I'm jealous smith! I have to get the list out after about 50 words every time - still have 53 left, and I keep having to ask for clues
I have time to finish if we aren't going to town.
i'd love to stump the old hag, but she hates me! she'd probably give me an f just for the fun of it.
hey to - that wasn't me, cause i don't have 1/2 those words yet, lol
en5 and en6/24?
i'm just checking to see if I have noah's number, just in case
No Inge - God has smiled on us today. We had beautiful weather for our GS event. It is clouding over now though.
oh now, hate my life, take a postive mental outlook - those things have a lot of power
f's?
thanks Aussie, I'll need it soon
hate my life - if you aren't good w/ words how about numbers? there's also a sister si** called iron sudoku.
I don't care if it rains tonight. I just didn't want it to be nasty while we had all the girls together. The event itself was inside, but parking is far away on a college campus.
I will too, its peeing it down here
I haven't figured out that ce 6 yet! Ornith, I hang out on the chat a lot and use clues other people ask for sometimes! First I make a pass through each letter and get the ones I can, then I start looking for clues. After almost a year, they start to look more familiar.
en6/24 is the whole thing unto itself
sudoku isn't even really math, just logic
hello refield, i don't get sudoku
ROFL, Inge!
Okay going to go see if we are going to a show. If not, I'll be back. If so, I'll talk to you all tomorrow. It is mother's day and I'm definitely playing!
Inge you can come here and be dry if you like.
yeah, smith, I find what I can, go down through the list, and then either give up or start asking for tons of clues :P
ce6/21 is the ce5/12 with an extra vowel just before the last letter...
237 words scare me off....
ce5/12: A covering for the hand made of leather straps weighted with iron or lead and worn by boxers in ancient Rome - plural ce6: add a vowel
en5/10 you may en*** thru the door
but I've got 8+ hours to get the last 50, so for the first time I have a real hope of finishing!
thanks gramma!
You can do it Ornith.
Thanks, sherb!
the big grids are more fun... most of the words are easy to find...
bye everyone! see you tomorrow!
Go Ornith. We can help you.
You'll do it, ornith! We'll stick with you and help with clues!
bye Temple... for now... :)
Bye Temple Owl.
I'm finding some I missed this morning too :)
Bye TO. See you on the flip
good bye temple owl
I like the big grids. Especially on weekends.

i cant get that ce6
ornith - yes!
ey4/7 past tense of the others
55 is good for a beginner, especially.
Go backwards
oops gramma, kept looking from the wrong e, thanks
everything's relative, HML...
yeah, 55 isn't bad at all hml
all the ey's are related to each other, keep monkey typing
ce 4/5 (following the money)?
crap - sherb, is that like a nice way of saying you suck?
Did someone say that there is an ord5?
cybernan, OH
monkeyed it!
teehee... keep trying... :)
hml, sherb is just saying that a beginner can't expect to get all the words right away
ce 6?
or 4/5 yes
ce4/5 ce plus the 1st 2 letters of the comedien Mr. Dangerfield
i havent got it cybernan
yes hate my life, sherb was giving you a compliment

Dang! Can't find my second o on the second o.
ce-plus the curvy 1 plus 1st 3 letters of hard work
thanks, gramma, already found it -- looking for the ce 6
that is 6
wheeee! finished through the q's. now to tackle all those re's
there are lots of aids you can use, HML... the main ones being the lists at Lickety or Babblers Anon, and A2Zwordfinder.com or other word search sites... and it gets easier with experience...
is there a quo?
nope
yes HML, dont give up, were here to help too
i am going to make some popcorn
there's also onelook.com reverse dictionary, hml... lets you search for words by meaning and a few letters
got it gramma -- thank you (our messages were crossing I think!)
I want some, please
oooh, what flavour helen?
Popcorn sound good:)
No problem
Whoopee, popcorn!
I'll have some hellen -- with lots of illegal butter!
hmmm. maybe I'll make some myself! I *heart* kettle corn.

Okay, I don't know any little brown bats...Can I get an idiot's clue for se8/40?
baobab, all the wi's have to do with hot dogs or fermented grape juice.
anybody want to share the wealth of the ti6/21 & ti7/36?
smithchick look at my clue at 4.17
problem with the lickety list is that i started without it, and now going back to fill it in when i have 149 words is ... ugh....
hmmm, smith, it sounds like it might have something to do with a brain chemical
baobab: i always do that though
i use it when i get halfway through
Rhymes with what you do to your ear so you can wear earrings
can anyone give any hints on the two ce 5/12's

My garage is flooded but thank goodness my basement isn't. I'm glad I didn't go to the nursery for flowers yet. They would have floated away. This is ridiculous. No sun for over a week and none forcasted until tuesday then rain again weds and thurs. I HAVE A HEADACHE!!!!!
Does it have cool bells and whistles?
A girl at my daughter's school got a new one and the wheels light up. Pretty nifty. Of course, she's 10 but still...
ok the clues arent working... hm
or 4/5 anyone?
All sorts of bells and whistles. almost everything is adjustable, too. even picked a neat color. royal blue./
or 5 a colourless crystal substance
No reason why you can't bling out your wheels!
aaargh! I'm so demoralized by this grid!
Sounds great, Angel!
my brain is frying, im feeling it
it's a manual chair, with battery-powered wheels. best of both worlds.
a bit more help sha?
baobab it's 2 little words
hursh? you there?
Hmmm...I'm trying to visualize how that would work, but my mechanical skills suck. My imagination doesn't fare much better.
Vicuna, it's not bad...keep at it or take a break. Whatever works for you

to7/28? huh? help?
Hey Smithchick
Why not?
to7/28 anyone?
clues for to5/18 please!!!
ok, thx, i was building off the wrong 'o'
to7/28 is the most
because i'm stubborn and like finishing without the list ...
miss, peri, the most elegant
Thank you for those words of encouragement, gramma, but I fear that I have lost my mind already.
im about to admit defeat
ornith theres no to-5-18
thanks!
ornith, thanks
i seem to have the most trouble with superlatives. it's like i'm blind to them.
sha, lickety's list disagrees with you
theres a to-6-18
to5/18 is like t06/30 minus a consonant
nope sha, have that
ow5/20?
and yes, i've got to the list...
i have finished and dont have a to-5-18
YAY thanks gramma

to-to pull a car+ 2 vowels
Blast again!!! Sorry, all!
Congrats, Ornith!!!
ok im taking the risk of sounding stupid, but i cant get either or5/12 or or6/21
Ornith, you can't go back to who you were before. Now that you've experienced the joy of Babble
sorry baobob wasnt looking at complete list
soy, those are tough
or 5/12 starts like the whale and ends the opposite of OUT
the or6 has 2nd vowel inserted
i'm good
same whale German 1
I'm stuck on the se 8 40 == anyone help?
se+frozen water+in-4-4 minus the 1st letter
se-plus " may you *** in hell" plus opp. of out and a silent vowel
nrkii THANK YOUUUU
The brain chemical clue that Ornith gave a while ago was good...
have that one -- that's the 8/45
gramma, thanks!!
NOOOOO, that's the 40
I've played before but never beat it :)
YW
missing two ni5/10
yep gramma, I got two clues at once
and now I have to do useful things like go buy food :P
we are all eager cluers :)
I know. I'm just pulling your leg.
baobab, use the 4/4 that sounds like opposite of day
one is plural
se +"go bad" +opposite of out +consonent
Bye Ornith... I've got to go too, when I finish!
the other is the "doer" ending'
the first se4 i have is "children should be se-- and not heard." is this the first one or is there one before it?
thx nrkii
ni5 is saltpeter
angel that's the first
thats the 1st one angel
Not consonent - vowel
niter
agh
i need to stop this mistyping stuff
to4/7 and to5/14 please
easily done baob
to 4/7 sounds like loft
to4/7 a homestead
to 5/14 is like the italian first name, but with 2nd vowel added in middle
to-5-14 add a letter to the to4-4
bye all going now

Hey Munner, how are ya? Everything going well?
smith, did you figure out which s6 and t6 you were missing?
thanks, Haz. I had the 6. Brain not engaged,

I got her hooked on a bunch of other word games, and she knows if she gets sucked in, she'll never get away from her computer with this one
but you said it ws her cmputer, didn't you?

I got the te6, do both te6/18's have corresponding 7's?

Did that get them all, Hurshy?
well, i can't figure out what sounds like vista...
Hi hurshy, I haven't been in today, since I saw the size of the grid and the number of re's. Did you hear back from the Lincoln Park Academy?
hi smithchick...
Hello, k-dizzle...When we say ot4/5 we mean it begins with an o, has four letters and has a point of 5. Angelsong has a link at the bottom of the page with lots of great info about how to play.
no, exwren, i didn't. of course now it's saturday. but maybe monday...
k-dizzle - you'll find lots of info on the game if you look under Friends of Babble (bottom of the page) and click on Angelsong's Resource page.
hi k-dizzle...it's really confusing at first but you'll get the hang of it...
thanks smithchick that helps a lot

thanks everyoen else

Hate My Life, I'm trying to learn the rules. How long have you been playing this game?
hey Faerie../I about scared my husband to death this afternoon......
Jera *sprinkle *sprinkle* sprinkle*
It would seem so. There's a bunch of weird ones.
hi faerie - racing ata
Angel - What did you do NOW!!!
Just one ot4
sorry coel, this is my second day. i got 11 words yesterday -
hi all
Thanks faerie, I have only 87 words, need all the help I can get!
I took my new wheels outside, and there was this hill......and he thought I was going to crash. I didn't...but he was nervous.
i could have found more, but mom came home
hate my life, if you click on the male or female symbol next to the icon, there will often be a short bio with info about where people are from.
Hi, NatLT...
i don't have one of those...how will you know where i'm from?
Hate My Life I don't see a B in the letters. Are you sure the sound a dog makes is there?
Coel, think of some other things a dog might say!
yes coel, i swear!
ANGEL- You had better be careful!!!! Don't make me have to come down there!!!
so whats the definition for that word then?
Well, unless your mother lets you go pro, you'll have to just tell people (if your mother doesn't care).
O.K. Hate My Life. I will continue to look.
hate my life, if you want a little person/purse next to your name, icon, flag, etc., you have to pay $10 and go "pro"
she's not fond of me on line at all smith chick, she only let me on line because our one teacher emails our homework questions to us.
wo4/11 Thread in a fabric - also used to describe the noise a dog makes
oh, thank you haz - who'd have thought, its a real word!
Well, you'll have to show her this site and tell her it mostly older people and is pretty safe. You might even get her hooked on it. And if you aren't supposed to be on here, GET OFF!!! (I'm a mother, too).
Indeed it is!
hello everyone!
I was absolutely safe, faerie! had my seatbelt fasteened, even.
te7/36 hints?
Hi, 5pacmanX...
don't worry bout that. she doesn't understand a thing about the internet, besides - i'm 17 for crying out loud
My Granna let's me use her computer. She checks on me though.
Angel-There is going to be nothing stopping you now I can see. The wheels will be smoking LOL
i just don't let her know because she gets a little panicky and i don't want her to worry.
Rats, gotta go have family time... later!
Bye Jera *waves*
I just have to remember to keep the batteries charged!
te7/36 - Use the same four letters as the preceding te words, and put the ending of the word of which London, New York and Paris are examples.
Plural number plus ending of c4/7 word
faerie, can you pick up yahoo im?
Bye, Jera...
Angel - ummmm yeah that would be a good ideal. Thats what the battery charger is for right? LOL
thank you haz.
You're welcome.
Angel - I'm trying and it won't let me sign in again *scratches head*
My girls make me a nervous wreck... They are selling there wares at the end of the driveway. Snacks and frozen drinks served in washed out little Pringles containers. I'm not sure what I think about their entreprenurial efforts.
se8/45?
do you need a proxy. faerie?
se8/45 - Italian for 600.
You must be more versed in Italian than I ;-)
Not sure Angel what should I use as my proxy?
It's apparently italian for 600, Kickstart se + vowel + ce5/12
good evening!!!
Okay - se plus third vowel. Then add American coin and finish with an Italian sounding vowel.
Well, I'm outta here people...See you tomorrow. Got to feed the little people. Hi and bye, shorty!
bye smith
Shorty - hello again!
bye smith chick
I admit that I just googled for it :)
{{{Shorty}}} HI!!!

Bye Smith

nothing wrong with plain old chocolate.... :-)
could I trouble anyone for a hint on re8/45?
*waits for batty's clue*
nope...that was my one craving when i was pg with daniel
listless so far, but when I come home from Matthew's performance tonight I am going to be in a bind...
even the third letter would kind of do it for me LOL.
hi kickstart 70
still 170 to go.

just starting my first pass down the list

se + last part of the addictive substance in tobacco
yes, the list is wonderful. Too bad some of us have to do things the hard way... ;--) assuming Hurshy finished hours ago...
i think i did see hurshy finished, not too long ago
i'm not brave enough to go listless yet!
or 6/21 please (and the following 5/ )
Hurshy finished just a few minutes ago -- without aid of the list -- hats off!!!
go listless on a short day...
good idea
not tonight, i'd never finish!
Way to go Hurshy!

well, no wonder....jeez, I ain't so stupid afterall!! rofl

YUMMY!
it's a bar down the road from here, but we decided to go down a notch and have brown dogs instead
jeffer is still waiting for the co 7/32.... (hint hint)
i think the to 5/12 will eventually make me go mad.
we have lots of bars for being in the middle of nowhear
co7/32
no, no topping. ice cream as good as this seems to be fine without.
Misshoax, which TO5/12?
And good evening, all.
We are a college town so we have a few ourselves...now that the students are gone the locals can reclaim them!
co7/32-co+vowel+a location on the web

the redneck's proclivity for beer!
Eva and Stid are waiting for the co 7/32
Are you from New England, by any chance?
ok, i cannot for the life of me find that last co 4/5
Evening stidmama, angela.
if we has a college, it would be called boon docks u.
miss... it's the past tense of a to4/4
It can't be that bad Nut!
i do evanonut.
ty shrin and Eva! that didn't make any sense to me until I stood on my head!
its what happens when you work out at the gym a lot. Your body becomes very....
If you were from certain towns near Boston, the second TO5/12 is what you call soda or pop.
the one i have is in that
Misshoax, that's for you.
angela, trust me
shirin, i got your co 7 clue, thanks
No-I have the co7-just having problems remembering that if i click the return it sends the chat message right away....who were you asking about Hew England Chick? I'm in vermont. stidmama-I'm impressed that you can stand on your head!
kenny. i could shoot myself for being so blind. thank you!
that also helps when you are experiencing a brain freeze
It's also an old-style medicine that comes in liquid form.
All set? Good.....
:) I've driven through PA many times, I guess it isn't that much of a stretch...I remember Port Jervis, NY area...
hi all
your welcome jeffer
*tries to look more impressive than she really is*
hi Jen
stid co 7/32 from shirin at 7:39 did you see eva?
wrong end of the state i'm thinking
that was a good one kenny
i mean did you see, eva?
yes jeffer, thanks. up to 92 big words now!
angela.. i am about 50 mins from port jervis
init
eh jeffer? you mean me?
We drive thru there to get to VA...
Hmmm... dyno is not a word... bummer...
I have 143 words, but I am thinking of ****ing?
73 left and it's not looking good. Can't decide if it's worth the effort to go through the old chat log.
*shudders thinking of the Comfort Inn in Port JErvis...*
Thanks, talya. Any help on the NI5/12 and NI6/12. I have the comparative and superlative of the 4/5, but not the pair after that.
most comfort inns for that matter
final co 4/5 anyone?
try the best western in matamoras then... 5 mins or so from port jervis
kenny, your sisters daughters are this to you.
True Nut...
if you had a sister of course.
Eva i just saw your clue for the co 7/ sorry
i may poke myself in the eyeball with my pilot pen
Neither is oreo, which I understand is a product name, but it has also been incorporated into the vernacular under a different meaning.
Cathy - we actually missed the exit for that one and thought there must be something other than the comfort inn - we were wrong :)
Jera, change the last vowel on that word...
can someone give me at least the third letter re8/45?
kenny, yes, our cows are often called oreos
batty: ret*****
as is my cat, Kenny
i know where the comfort inn is, actually... i have a feeling i may have stayed there a few moons ago...?
or 5/12 please?
Oh yes, I got the dy's but thanks stidmama!
Misshoax...hand me that gun! All 3 of my sisters and all 6 of their daughters thank you!!!!!
scary place Cathy... :)
you're quite welcome. you helped me, i help you.
my dog's name is oreo
the bug killer people, jeffer
not spelled the same, but it sounds the same :)
*hands gunfish to Kenny*
my cat's Harold, but I know what you mean
yes, angela... i agree... no.. i remember... we went and asked how much a room was... and they were inattentive to say the least, so we pegged it.. lol
ty battybeyond
Merci, stidmama
95 words....
holy cow this chat is moving quickly!
lol Cathy!
blessed cow indeed
ce 6/21 is a problem ... ?
well.. hit 130 with no list... but i am getting about one word every 10 mins... lol... i will NOT make it for the end of the puzzle
YAAY!!
after an hour of trying, I finally got re/8!! thank you for that one letter!!
done batty?
oh neat, i'm right in the middle...118 words, 119 left
you've saved me from having to poke my eyeball out
97 left...
no stid, i just finally got re8 LOL
I don't have the re 8... wanna toss a line to a drowning woman?'
I've got 54 more words. can't be as hard as that last one, so i figure its all down hill from here
140 left, another 3 and I will feel okay going for the list.
stidmama... first part of part of your eye... then add a us penny to the end
is this one of the longest grids?
This game is so simple a 10-year old could play, but my 10-year-old left, so now I'm in trouble
stid-sort of a cross between reluctant and diffident
thanks cathy!
ret...... word for people who keep to themselves and dont talk much
i am a little re8/ to clue on that one, stid
LOL Douglas!
douglas-LOL
no Shirin, there are sometimes grids of well over 300... has there been one over 400?
lmao douglas
it's a completely obvious word, but i couldn't figure it out till they gave me the third letter LOL
Cathy, great clue for RE8!! Thanks a million; I didn't have it either.
wow! This one, I was sure was a toughy, but I guess not.
me either, got it thanks, finally
stidmama... i do remember a 400+ puzzle
thanks for the great clues, folks!
stid - I'm pretty sure there have been
ce 6/21 please ....
I'm taking a break to do the Daily Set Puzzle...

ty eva
one more word and I will follow you Douglas, haven't played that one in a long time!
ceist
Eva - I believe we are neighbors of sorts...
ignore that
at 100 words, 137 left, taking a break and back later... see you all!
Jeffer...CE6/21...Take the great Russian author of War & Peace, replace first syllable with CE...change the sometimes vowel to the 3rd one.
co 6/30 anyone?
where are you Angela? And is that a Buddha?
Later, stidmama!
Buddha is the theme today - and I'm in NH
ty kennychuck i will look into that
Bye Stid!
re6/24?
not the sap one
I'm back. Hi folks. 49 left to find. No list so far. So, what have I missed... chatlogwise, that is, not wordwise?
co + staff or stick + sometimes vowel
co like in morse
where in NH? Cliffopa who plays often is also in NH-I can't remember where-somewhere in the lakes region.
Jeffer...3 syllables...First two are the same as a beer brand often enjoyed with lime...The last syllable = to color your hair, then drop the second vowel.
Hey Jac
Down in the western corner, and yup - cliff is from the lakes region - where are you?
Good clue Kenny
good clue gwenski and thanks again Kennychuck
I'm about 15 minutes from Montpelier. gramma is also in vermont.
Massachusetts here. Glad to help.
That wouldn't be Barre would it Eva?
Yeay New England! :) hehe
Gwenski - thanks for that 'co' clue - hadn't found that one.
Should be called New Swimland today.
lol KC! I know...it poured ALL DAY - they say sun after Thursday
I'm about 15 minutes from Barre too. Hi Kenny-moved here from Jamaica Plain about a year and a half ago. Lived in the Boston area for 14 years and before that Western Mass for about 15. Yes, rather wet out there.
68 left
How funny Eva...I was born and lived in Barre til 3rd grade. Grandmother stil lives there. Other side of the family is from Rutland
I know, but WHICH WEEK?!? April was so consistently beautiful, I'm not surprised that now we're under the weather to the other extreme
re6/24? anyone (not the sappy one)
Great bakery in JP, Eva...The Blue Frog. On Green Street.

shirin: other than that :P
thanks JenA.. you know.. i was only half joking!
a woman's belt worn mainly in greece (pl) or "this is" in french, plus the 3rd vowel

I dont get it, soy?
another one is one who does ci4/5 and the plural
Yay...perfect, Hoax. Don't know dingus about Greece, but remember just enough French to get it. Now, hit the road and have a good night!!
re8/45?
i'm glad i could help. did the others help or did you not need those ones?
ok shirin... um... 12 in spanish + ending of bug that ruins picnics?
Hawaii if I have anything to say about it! I'll keep you posted!
or easier, do+ce4/5
Hoax, I could use the CI ones, but I didn't get them.
I already have that word, but Ive never heard that as a teacher. Interesting
kenny, to take a reference from a book is to c*** it.
i clicked on the definiton ? and it's a teacher mostly
not having luck wiht the spanish teacher...all i find is profesor or maestro
the other 5/12's are extensions on that word
in spanish, you add an e to the end of it
Thanks, feather, I do have that one.
Sorry, I do have those, thanks!!!
*sigh* more family time... back later...
featherbee: check out my clues at 8:07
Good evening, anyone have a clue for the si8's

bye jera
okeedokee. night all. have fun.
hey mark
Hello Angela
lmao soy, i was asking for the de 6/24, no wonder i couldn't get it!
sorry but I'm clueless
ooooh hahahaha
sorry, my ba
Is it just my computer/server/browser/firewall etc., that has problems with this new site when it's busy(ish) in Firefox?
*my bad
although i needed that do 6/24 anyway, thanks
i need the second de 6/24, not the first
Keep getting lots of grey box messages about scripts loading etc. GRR!
ok, de6/24 is a law
*moves all sharp objects away from Jacula*
got it!
Angela. LOL!
yay!
i have this in netscape, but displaying as firefox, and it's great
How about the si/8
Mark, there aren't any si8's. Perhaps you need clues to the se8's?
angela... my.. good intervention... come and work as a behavior consultant with me... lol
anyone have re8/45?
the third ce5/12?
You are correct, sorry
gwenski... if mark doesn't want them, i'll have them
cool Cathy - sign me up!
Cathy - My son has the main server and he's got the security etc., set so tight, it sometimes causes me problems down here.
se + vowel + penny + vowel
soy, reluctant to say something
jacula... i have the security set on this for my son... although he logs in under his own name... otherwise i could see there would be similar problems as yours
any clue on the 10?
...Especially if he's on his conmputer in one of his huge 'saving the universe/the galaxy/ the infinite future games.
angela.. it really is a cool job....
My son's 22, Cathy.:-(
haha i just found it before looking at your clue. thanks all the same!
welcome!
jacula... wow... i amgined you in your late 20s!
big words just scare me, so i give up sooner
Thanks gwenski how about the other one?
how about either de 6/21?
I'm afraid I would nave no patience for that Cathy :) Is it for adults??
se + decay + part of a fork (without first letter)
angela.. it is for adults with developmental disabilities... i thought i would find it harder than i actually do
Must go, with only 18 left. Hubby wants to be beaten in Boggle!
hmmm... you know the act of saying something is untrue? one is the action, the other one is the person who does it
Cathy! I am gobsmacked! Check out my profile! I just had my 49th birthday. But thank you, anyway.
Thanks gwenski got it
Well, he doesn't actually WANT to be beaten, but we all know that's what's goonna happen!
the action in the third person, sorry
jacula... lol... i guess i should read some profiles... i think i just have a mental image of a lot of people on here without bothering to find out the real facts!
ahhh, thanks soy
no problem :)
And, grr! re my son - I worked in computers back in the 1970's, I started him off on the damned things... mutter, mutter, mutter. However, f I let him have the main server etc., HE has to pay the most of the monthly broadband fee.:-D
The CR6 anyone? Not the toothpaste, the next one... *S* Please & thank you
Bless your heart Cathy! Sometimes I think I'm an expert already just dealing with family :)
why am i still here? kenny, do you know what they called canada's former prime minister? jean... cr****
yay! i have all the d's now!
wow jacula... i taught computing (at least part of the computing syllabus).... i assume the 70s was back with Fortran and the like?
yay :D
how many words do you have left feather?
lol misshoax... i have that cr word.. but i had no idea that's qhat they called your president.
they did. and he was. sigh.
angela... amazing what lessons 'real' life gives you though
Cathy - Yes, back when DOS was the newest thing!
101
Kenny - CR6 not the brightest bulb
you?
okay, i'm really going now. goodnight all.
lol - exactly Cathy!
73
hmm, wonder if i can catch up to you?
lol
ive been at it for a long time though
haha i think you will
i started almost 3 hours ago, but put my son to bed in hte middle
lol jacula.... who would have ever thought you would be babbling by 2005? i remember in one of my computer lessons, one of my students actually picked the mouse up and pointed it at her screen while clicking!
i did some last night, did some after lunch and now i started again a couple hours ago
lol Cathy :)
well, I think it
there I go again....have to leave the return button alone. Time to go to sleep, Dont like leaving with so many 7's undone, but so it goes. Good night all. see you tomorrow.
night eva!
Night Eva! Good talking to you.
Nite, Eva & Merp.xx
angela.. is that a recent pic of you?... ;-)
I've put on a few pounds since then though... :)
Cathy - I believe it! I wrote the first 'Idiot's Guides' since I had to even explain how to switch on!
lol
And I'm not as shiny
Oops - shiney :)
perhaps you need a top up shine?
Come again?
as opposed to a top up tan
what's that???
Holla!
when your tan fades, you 'top it up'
Hello All.
OH! I'd never heard that before! :) BTW - you may need to hit the razor, judging by YOUR pic LOL!!
wow...so many of these hints are over my head! Although, this is my first puzzle...
Hello Smeltz - a fellow lefty!
Does anyone have the RE8/45 please?
hi min!
Angela - if your grey roots show through your hiar - you re**** it.
what are you trying to say Jac? I'm only 36!
Or even through your hair. Sorry! Been a long and busy day here and now I'm having a glass of white wine or two...
lol angela... ya... i've let myself go... lol
hey minski#
Lefties Rule!!!
Angela. LOL. Okay, if your dark (or fair) roots show through....
Yeah we do!! Woo hoo!
I only laugh JAc cause I don't think I asked for the clue :)
agreed, minski!
OK. I will then. Does anyone have the RE8/45 please?
minski...
I'm a lefty too you know.
when someone isn't very talkative, they can be considered to be re______
that was a VERY tough one for me. it's a very common word and I just couldn't see it :)
Scroll down Smeltz - I read your bio that's why I mentioned it :)
Men are allowed into the Lefties Club also Smeltzy.
I'm left-handed, I'm drinking white wine after a long, hard day and I'm off for a comfort break. BRB. LOL!
See you Jac!
lol here at all the fo-s
gee... hands up all lefties in the room..... *showing hand*
**my hand's up**
Oooooo! I am! I am!
Batty - thanks for the hesitant talker clue!
can i hold a hand up for my son? we're pretty sure he's going to be a lefty
almost 2, so it's hard to be sure right now!
lol...
i'm not a lefty but i do most things backasswards, does that count?
funny how many there are... there has to be some logical connection
onyx... absolutely!
Absolutely Onyx
sorry...I was too self absorbed to notice what you were writing. Please forgive me.
THanks Batty. Finally got it.
thanks guys
Smeltz - All is forgiven! This chat log has been very fast tonight. :)
Done with the Rs. On to the Qs.
All the most clever and creative folks are biased to their left-hands, but are also ambidexterous.
Not sure if I spelled double-handed correctly, but never mind!
Don't worry Jac - no one here is that into spelling anyway...
i can go both ways!
so i have read, jacula... funny.. where i work in our Clinical department, 3 out of 5 of us are lefties
Done with the Qs. Was only missing 2. On to the Os.
i've found that many teachers are left handed as well
Onyx - LOL! You might care to qualify that statement, in case some person who is sad enought to take 'internet statements' takes it some other way. LOL!
I guess you can call me ambidextros. I've always just considered myself mixed up.
lmao jacula
I used to be a teacher
lol minski
me too, smeltzdog
we;re talking about handedness here aren't we, now don't go running away with that one y'all
not anymore
Minski - I would consider anyone who can use both hands or both feet as a very effective human being.
Teachers, pollice officers, firemen...WAY underpaid for what they do.
I think you said it on purpose onyx
Onyx - yes. We are talking about handedness.
I'm a righty, but can use a mouse well w/ left-ambi?
I've washed dishes with my feet before...
ty angela, i agree!
lol, angela amen to that last
I don't think anyone is overpaid if they take the job.
electronic mouse
Facing what they face...bullets, fire, teenagers...SHUDDER!
and i've itched my left leg with my right foot before....
I mean underpaid
Don't forget lawyers! They're chronically underpaid, too!
not to mention how much of my own money i spend on the classroom and kids
Baafour - I can't use a mouse l/h so save my life, but I could learn in a day or so. That's from a south paw!
and so are behavioral consultants!
lol
True DB - but everyone always thinks they're rich for some reason...?? Why is that?
me too, featherbee
!!
I fell on my right side once.
I, too can do that, cathy22!!
hello babblers! : )
media bias.
what do you teach cathy?
Hello Temple!
or did we go through this before?
lol smeltz & cathy
lol baafour...
lol, i know i was talking to another teacher some night
working on the Ni words now.
agreed DB. I've worked for MANY and none of them make what people think...and they work A LOT!
featherbee... i used to teach computing and communication, and a bit of maths... now i am a behavior consultant, and do spend plenty of my own money in my job
how many of us out there teach?
Hey Temple!!!
ahh, i could use you in my class! i teach kindergarten
*hands firmly in pockets*
Past tense teachers?
*still in pockets*
I don't use scissors left-handed. Has to be my right hand. I use a knife to cut things in my left hand but, having thought about it (the action not actually doing it to anybody), if I wanted to stab someone, I'd used my right hand.
I can only mouse with my right hand.
i like to think that i teach everyone around me a little something everyday =P
Oh dear!
Again, I agree DB :)
jac you a crazy woman
Jacula! LOLOL--you sound dangerous...
JAc - I think the scissors thing is from school when we would have to use the righty scissors they gave us.
When using knives, I cut with my right hand but spread with my left hand.
Hursh?
The usage...not the stabbing :)
Hiya Temple Owl. Hoot's online,too.
i am the same jacula... although i do iron with my left hand (no.. i iron with an iron... lol)...but i can play tennnis/table tennis with EITHER hand!! a big strategic advantage!
lol. World of Warcraft helped me get the 'y' words! (I had no clue it was a real word)
but, I must agree-I'd use righty 4 stabbing
lol jamsicle
i definitely picked up a stabbing habit from grade school
lol DB
it was like prison for 4th graders... shank or be shanked
lol
Cathy - same here re tennis/table tennis and cricket, but not re the iron. I'm right-handed for that.
LMAO DB
I was told many years ago in gymnastics class that I was left-footed...
How can 'oreo' not be in their dictionary? :p
I think for stabbing I would use both...
this chat is distracting me how do i turn it off?
30 yrs martial arts - left/right - same thing
Are there any guys playing tonight or am I the only one playin' the fool?
Db is a guy
say what?
*looks down* yep, guess so.
My hubby is helping me (and kicking butt)
Minski - cut bread with left hand here, spread with left too.
ok... 151 and it's as far as i can go... night all!!!
Does anyone have the Ni5/12 & Ni6/21 that are between the 1st group of words and the last group of words.
Onyx -- you can prolly click on 'Who's online' or 'My friends'
I prefer to use my left foot for stabbing
on 5/12 anyone?
that would be aunt's kids, min.
actually, onyx.. that little speech bubble switches the chat on or off
sorry -- sister's kids.
my friends, ah, i don't have any',,,,,,
what do you mean by "5/12"?
5 letters, 12 points
in friends of babble, click on licketysplit's link
Onyx - you can't turn the chat off now or even scroll it down. You can a) hide it under something else (eg. at stats list) or change it to 'Who's Online' or 'My Friends'.
how do you know there's a 5 letter / 12 point word out there?
THanks jfarber. Got them.
see it jam?
(sorry for the Qs...I'm a noob)
they've hacked into the mainfram jamsicle. we're bringing this sucker down!!!
Happy to help!
Not the mainfram!!!! NOOOOOO!!
That reminds me. My Sister had her 3rd girl yesterday. We will see her tomorrow afternoon. She is 7 pounds 3 ounces and 19.5 inches tall. Her name is Nora Sloan.
Congrats Minski!
soy, you still there??? i'm at 73 now!
Congrats, Minski on a new niece.
Oops! Said a word there!
sorry all - got booted out! yo smeltzie...
thanks Jac!

Mine's preoccupied with Napcar

Blimey, Temple! Have you slept in between? If not, ytou must be v. tired.x
thanks minski!
OR5/12 = if you have the OR6/21 remove onE of the vowels in the middle.
ahh, thanks again
Does anyone have the io6/21?
I don't play at all...just chat!
yes jacs , a few hours! looking for the usual suspects - anyone seen mamabear, re, gw or torgone tonight?
Not me TO
I haven't seen any of them for months Temple.
Torgone was here yesterday...
26 words left to go :)
I haven't seen them for a few days.
nope minski, sorry
the timing is off a bit...mamabear just missed you the other day and i couldn't im her from work
se6/21 anyone?
I went pro and will start w/ a whole clean slate tomorrow! Will say hi as libarebel...
hi peri! enought rain for you?!
I *love* that icon peri
past tense of the SE5/10 peri.
shavuah tiv!
opps - shavuah tov!
Are you sure that noone has the io6/18?
thanks Minski, Hi, Temple Owl
can someone explain this lingo going on here?
it's similar to the io5
oh, i have that one! i thought you wanted 6/21
co 6/30 clue please? and thanks!
same base word, minski,
In Somerville, MA today, my basement apartment became filled w/ water
how many io s are there??
it follows the pattern of the 5/12, but it's to do that...make it a verb
minski: think a very common babble word and a british spelled ending...
two angela
Got it. Used A2Z.
baarfour: i saaw on the news you got hammered!
need help with SI words, have the one that rhymes with nice and the math one, need help with other two
We got ours last year Baafour - Alstead is 10 miles from here...
Yes TempleOwl; still getting hammered-5-8" possible. Very scary in lower areas.
think "place" and star wars, peri...
so smeltz: need any clues?
peri, web si** and another changes the last letter
do you guys usually get all the words?
TO, got the place one, stil looking for the other
Does anyone have the HE10. Does it start with the HE6?

st 8/ levels in a building (variant)
jen: do you know about the clue lists? click on the link to lickety's babble clues.
Might be time for me to check a list soon. Lickety's is up but BJ is taking a well-earned weekend off.
thanks temple:)
jeffer, I hate varient spellings, takes me forever to figure them out, still working on the st8
add the second vowel into it peri
what does c4 c5 mean
oh, and past tense it
peri: the root word has the variant; get those and you're on your way
st5 and st6
peri, did you get featherbee's?
anyone know the seond ce5/10
ce5/12 sorry
wow this site is strange tonight!
it really lagging
if you know french, take the phrase "it is" and add the dot vowel
still have not figured out the st8,
Peri - I, too, hate variant spellings! I had a nice long word earlier to do with rotting flesh. Howevr, it the DISAble dictionary allows it, it will no doubt be with a UK 'z' as the penultimate letter.
thanks feather!
i'm guessing that's the one you need soy?
yay!
i'm at 57 now
no, it was the other one
but i needed that too haha
im at 67, i took a break
do you have the one that is the plural of the 4/5?
the other 5/12 uses the same first 4 letters, just add a vowel to the end
peri, "past tense" of the 6/24 , which adds s/time vowel to st5/10
found the st8 YEA for me
thanks for the clues
wtg, peri!
anyone know tomorrow's theme?
got it, thanks!
Hi TO, it's Mother's DAy

Thanks Munner! I'll look forward to it

munner: how r u this PM?
jeffer, thanks that was the one I needed
52 left , not sure how much longer I can sit here though
Peri - the st5/10 before the small rock is the piece of work you might do... you do your st***. Failing that, you might s+ dye your hair or clothes.
ok, Temple, took time off babbling to watch baseball game on Tv with my husband. Now I'm back hunting last 6 words. How u doing?
My crystal ball says, Angela, that you are missing alll the fun by not getting on IM. Tell her , Temple...

sn5/10
core
se 8/45 almost like 600 in Spanish

sorry, wrong box
i'm good! : )
Down to 34...any help with CR6/21? Thanks.

Hey coel, how are you doing with your first game?

cr 6/21 is defined as an idiot
fo6/27
chic: if you can get mamabear, tell her she missed smeltz again
Temple, I know that was a clue and not a judgment, but it left me feeling vulnerable and alone.
peri english for soccer
*group hug* aaaaawwwwwwwwww
thanks munner for the 8/45 clue. now if only i actually knew what these words mean.
LOL Allright, now ,S**t, what is it?
jen, i have figured out that they specify the first one or 2 letters and then tell how many letters there are total in the word
jen - cr (first 2 letters of word) 5/10 (number of letters in the word and the points for the word)
I'm in for the hug. Not usually my thing, but it is at the moment!
football doesn't fit,
evenin babblers!

Ok, someone use fo 8/55 in a sentence. nosiest - fine but.....this word? this is the wildest dictionary i've ever encountered.
Jen and Juice - If you go to Lickety's babble page at the bottom of the site, it will give you a list each day of the words and the points.
Juice, are you a washington fan?
got home from vacation last night, had to get up bright + early this morning because my girls had their first performance today... im knackered out!
I must have missed the words
nope, i live in atlanta, and have always loved the braves

i know, but i've used the vowel in the same word
ahh...ok
dang why didnt i start this earlier than with 1.5 hours left
soy, go in a different direction, try down
this is a fun one
hello all :)
jeffer, no
I have 41 words left to find... do I ignore the night sweatss and cuddle up to my love or do I look at the stats and stay?
i guess no one has the co7/32
what do I know? I'm not even playing today! lol but I miss my buddies so here I am anyway
i do!
the slang for soccer sounds like cootie
its co+vowel+an si4/4
Daisy! LOL! ((HUGS))
((((((Jac)))
Hi. This is my 3rd game. I thought I could do it without clues but every time, I get down to the last 75-100 words and stall. Argh!
Good night all.
coesine
Does anyone have the CO7/32 and/or the CO6/30?
oops
Still need re 8/45 please
clues are what make it fun, IMO
relarion...there's no shame in being clue/list dependent:)
munner, still need that one also
fran: close, but no :P
coesine
wats sq7/48?
melon...where's your new icon? can't find anything that suits you?
3 more and I"m done :)
yet i keep trying it!
very exciting
jeffer, thanks I had the plural and all the other but not that one
the CO7 is co + 2md vowel + web si**
co6/30: co+stick+first two letters of substance to colour your hair
co 6/32 co + second vowel + si 4/4 (to see)
co 6/30 co + singing Mr. Stewart + sometimes vowel
there are two, peri, that sound alike, one a 5 and the other a 6
still playing - but i'm ready to take a break.
RE8/45 = "Inclined to keep one's thoughts, feelings, and personal affairs to oneself."
and im obviously out of my mind since i still cant figure out the ce6
How about te 7/36 anyone?
woot
at least you have a mind to be out of Soy...I lost mine a long time ago:)
ce 5 + the round vowel before the last vowel
woot is not an allowed word.
Soy, ce 6/21 = c + Spanish for "I am" spelled alittle differently at the end with 2 vowels instead of the one.
it tells me it doesnt exist haha
it should be Jac!
TE7: 1st 4 letters is another word for quiz + 2 vowels that make the long U sound + consonant
it is italian for i am not spanish
ahhhhhhh lhiogkhjkbjkhjkg
te7/36, make te5/10 (second one) a wovel
soy, take the ce 5/12 just above and insert the round vowel between the last to vowels
not a vowel, a noun
fireworks!!!
YAAY!!
woohoo batty!
scribble, I have that 7. I need the te 7/36 please.
yay batty!
that's twice I"ve finished :)
YES
THANK YOU SO MUCH ANMOGI
You're welcome =)
bye all! c u tomorrow!
i shall remain sane
I'm sorry. All those clues at the same time confused me. Could I please have the clues for the CO6/30 again. I got the other one.
Nite Temple. Congrats. batty
munner, te7/36 starts like the 5/10 and 6/18 before it, but is a noun
oh...TE7: rhymes with what you do to your ears to wear earrings--past tense
bye TO
43 left to find, but tired of sitting here, see you all tomorrow
minskie, co+ the singer stewart + the sometimes vowel
bye peri and temple owl!

Hi Fran BBNAZ

HI bbnaz... didn't realize I wasn't going to have enough time to finish or I wouldn't have taken that 2 hour nap this afternoon! LOL
{{{Stid}}} I'm just here waiting for the flip.....
Stidmama, say it aint so....you are NOT done yet, and we both know it.
hi kae!
no worries here, I am so far from even breaking below the 200 to go mark it is humorous. almost used another word too
No :(
or - minerals and or + first 3 letter of female deer.
Doesn't really matter I'm not a mother LOL
didn't say I was done, Jee -- but only 100 left!
i am making up all sorts of words though

Okay, I was a little winded trying to keep up with you.

Thank You Fran

95...
Go Stid, go Stid
190 to go................look out Hurshy, I am challenging LOL
qu 7/40 and 8/55?
go bbnaz go!
Stidmama, what did you do with your babies when they were screaming?
qu 7/40 to make qu5/16
think softly softly
qu7 - to make silent then plural for the 8.
qu 7/40 was new to me, starts with quiet, 8/55 is plural
Fran - we seem to think alike but I am a beat or two behing you.
i keep wanting to put stero and steroid, grrr! lol
I have the 6 letter soft noise, but can't get from there ...
yeah Dianne, i think it helps to see things put different ways though
ooops, stereo
err that would be barry bonds field
lol bb
add en stidmama
put the second vowel and then an upside u STID
YEA! only 100 to go! heehee
it's not a normal use of the word i think
Stid - think the number after 9 for yourending.
crumbcakes! I had too much to do today, so I still have 89 words left!
there's a lot not normal usage here.
quietens
sorry
ty dianne!
wo5/18?

(and faeriekae)
crumbcakes, you have crumbcakes? chocolate crumbcakes?
87...
juice, wo5/18 is wo4/8 pluralized
no, jeewhiz...they're the kind of crumbcakes that taste like your name sounds
Juice, sounds like "once"
181 to go! look out i am on my way!
99
bummer bendamalina
I'm not entering any more words in chat or the grid..I've stopped looking now. So sorry
ty jee!
98
oh faerie, don't stop... c'mon 15 minutes to the new grid!
83...
i got my goal,over 2000 pts, for my first time, thats pretty good eh? i got my sudoku coming up in 15 min
This is my first babble...when do we get the answers
don't quit faerie!
keep going
go stidmama...I have been distracted by crumbcakes, and not that interested in words.
faeriekae - this chat set up is difficult. lots of people have made the same mistake - don't worry about it. hopefully we will get use to this format.
CHX - when the grid flips
chxfeet - there are no answers
is it an auto refresh here?
te 7?
hmmmm so we dont ever see the complete list of words?
either one... (or both!)
Dianne it drives me crazy...I either chat or enter words it looks like. Kinda like walking and chewing gum at the same time LOL
te 7/36 sounds like a word to describe hardness or weight of minerals except with a T
stidmama - think animation tryout
chexfeet I think you still view the puzzle in the archives but not sure.
I need the last ce5.12
thanks faeriekae
96
another te7/28 starts like quiz and ends like animation
dollars and .....
Dianne & faeriekae -- I did ask Jamie if he could put the submit button back, but he seemed to think that most players preferred it this way -- I'm sure if enough players let him know that this is not the case, he would reconsider.
Hah I just got 2 more words
Fran and melon, I need a little more... slowing down way too much!
te7 - think of a school exam then think of a a kid's Saturday morning tv show.
ce 5/12: plural money
ce/5 i assume you have "sense" - this one's an Italian brand name - love their garbanzos
ty dianne again
Nan - I also asked the same thing about a week ago so if people keep emailing him maybe it will be changed I sure hope so.
see Dianne, the multiple clues help!
woohoo 174 to go!
go naz!
fran, still working on yours and still needing assistance... (she asked deperately with 78 to go)
I have the money ce5/12, and the boxing glove one...i need the third one
cybernan - yesterday we were all complaining about it - we were wi6 and wi7 about it :)
bbna - I'm ahead of you....I have 139 to go
boxing glove?
There are only two ce 5/12's
Come on Faerie! I am starting to smell your dust!
ti 7?
te7/36 works off of the 5/10 and 6/18
te 7/36 sounds like a town of tents
I'm looking at lickety's list...it says there are three? is it wrong?
138 to go
no ti 7 -- no t 7!
ty fran! got it
ti7 sounds like what you do to your ears in order to wear earrings
ti7 - think picking the winner of the first 3 races (also rhymes with putting a hole in your ear lobe).
three ce 5/12 's
ty fran and dianne
there is a ci 5/12 and a co 5/12 and a cr 5/12
136 to go
73...

i'm looking for the 8 letter words: I have the fo superlative extremity body part, the qu silence making, and the se chemical
go melon, go melon
go everyone go!
se8 45?
two of the ce 5/12 from ce 4/5 then ce 5/12 that ends with 3rd vowel
one of the ce 5/12s s/b 5/14
re 8/45: reluctance
wrong - my bad. ignore.
benda there are two se 8: one is italian for 600, the other starts like a vaccination thing, ends with fork prong
se 8/45 se + 3rd vowel + penny + 4th vowel
okay, someone make a mistake and type the 10 letter word in the chat box okay?
se8/45 - se + letter meaning myself + one penny + round vowel.
or reserved
the re 8 is to be "reluctant"
starts with an Het
LOL Dianne we give the same kind of clues.
the ten that is
he 6/21 + de 4/7
