Good morning ..

12:05 am

morning

12:05 am

howdy!

12:05 am

er, flip!?

12:06 am

my first flip!

12:06 am

there! finally got the chat log to work

12:06 am

morning

12:06 am

whoa, Z in the middle

12:06 am

morning again!

12:06 am

flip 'n crah...

12:06 am

a z which starts *8* words, too

12:06 am

how many words are there? my trial has expired.

12:06 am

I've never been online when it switched

12:06 am

does that make me an official babblenerd

12:06 am

253 words

12:06 am

luwanda, me neither

12:07 am

253 total words today

12:07 am

yeah, I saw that.

12:07 am

ty

12:07 am

amazing

12:07 am

don't know what to do about that

12:07 am

but I'm probably toast.

12:07 am

crashes...(after flip)

12:07 am

d7/36

12:07 am

(part of me wonders which 8 words it is, there aren't a heck of a lot of z words out there comparitively)

12:08 am

yeah - I'm sure we'll figure it out pretty quickly.

12:09 am

wow, tons of plural / past tense / action verb potential

12:10 am

huh - i had that 'chat log loading' problem again - but fran, if you're around, thanks, used your suggestion & now it works

12:10 am

helen we had the same idea today

12:11 am

nice icon, helenkeller

12:11 am

lol leslie - great minds . . .

12:11 am

m7/44

12:12 am

but leslie - the twigmeister, with a braid !?!?!?!

12:12 am

i mean it's not like she pops into my head b/c i watch america's next top model all the time... *hangs head in shame*

12:12 am

Sorry about the "chat log is loading.." problem again.

12:12 am

a 7/ 60, while we're at it

12:12 am

i couldn't find a nice head shot like you have... i'll try again

12:12 am

Hello Everyone!! How many Z's ??? no way!

12:12 am

love barbie clone i

12:12 am

dr-g - it was suggested that i hit the 'hide/show chat' button & that seemed to work

12:13 am

Thanks Dr_God. Hi Mr. P!

12:13 am

barbie clone, you're beautiful!

12:13 am

hey ch1212!

12:14 am

sams

12:14 am

leslie - ANTM is a great show!!! i love it!!! but this time i think they messed up big time, both the blond & the nutcase would have been better winners than miss thang

12:14 am

there, that's better

12:14 am

oops

12:14 am

I got the a7/60

12:14 am

good thing that isnt a word :)

12:14 am

helen!! i haven't watched the last one yet. but i knew what happened anyway. you didn't like danielle? she was my favorite.

12:15 am

ch1212 - nice icon (i considered that one)

12:15 am

thanks, helenkeller -- I always thought Jackie was chic, in whatever decade she graced :)

12:15 am

anglo isn't a word?!

12:15 am

is it pink day?? your icons are lovely and pink!

12:15 am

amazin is too a word

12:15 am

knutmeg, I think it's usually capitolized, like Hispanic

12:16 am

it is 60s day, mr. p

12:16 am

and so is anglo

12:16 am

I am on it!! need to find an Icon to suit...

12:16 am

Don't mention the war ...

12:16 am

right on, libarebel

12:16 am

really leslie ?- i liked the other 2 better, both personality-wise & model-wise - well, there you go . . ps. i like your new icon much better :)

12:17 am

This grid is not as easy as I thought it should be!

12:17 am

indeed, nutmeg

12:17 am

pshaw! danielle was the only one with a personality and a sense of humor. jade looked like a tranny, period. i wouldn't have minded if joanie won

12:18 am

Lovely icon, ch1212...

12:18 am

I think I'm just gonna go to 600 points and then call it a night

12:19 am

hmm, i was considering a laugh-in icon, which would be appropriate since "goldie" is in the grid (won't take it, though)

12:20 am

leslie - i just loved it when nigel, the photographer judge said (early on) jade just needs to get laid - i thought that was sooooooo funny - with his proper brit accent & all

12:20 am

thanks, libarebel -- I always admired Jackie

12:20 am

stid- now the other half of yoru name is in the puzzle! :-)

12:21 am

hey, 2 m 7/ 44

12:21 am

i thought it was obvious early on that either joanie or danielle would win when they took them to the dentist -- when have they fixed major flaws of any other contestants??

12:21 am

What a class act JackieO was!

12:23 am

they did something like that once before - oh yeah, for the tall, skinny (lol, yeah that narrows it down, lol) blonde hick chick who cheated on her boyfriend - 2 seasons ago - i think they did something for her eyes so she wouldn't need her glasses

12:23 am

or i may be confusing her with the one who was going blind- it all blends together, lol

12:23 am

Shandi, I think her name was

12:23 am

hmm, i don't know if i watched that one, yeah, i just remember the one who was going blind

12:23 am

yessssss amp -that's the one!!!!!

12:24 am

I think that was you helen? lol

12:25 am

I think helenkeller went blind...

12:25 am

yes, lib, i am often mistaken for a supermodel, ah such is my life :)

12:25 am

teehee

12:25 am

gag

12:25 am

I'd like to know how one of the ma4/5s is not a proper noun. Its the name of a chocolate bar *and* a planet, and (i think) some greek person or other... name, name, name proper noun, yes?

12:26 am

supermodels must gag to stay svelte?

12:26 am

doesn't it mean like to mark on something?

12:26 am

knut...you can also m** something (ruin it)

12:26 am

LOL - did you see what i wrote for my icon today -lol - it's the theme

12:26 am

It's also present tense of "to deface"

12:27 am

knutmeg-- the red planet

12:27 am

oh, that definition... (headdesk)

12:27 am

Just read it, helenkeller --- wonderful! And sadly, true

12:27 am

ma4/5 is also the third person present of "to damage"

12:27 am

meg don't fall asleep there! come back!

12:27 am

speaking of chocolate bars... *wanders off to get some food*

12:28 am

oh, i guess we don't have to worry about h er

12:28 am

yeah ch1212, very sad, was just talking with a friend whose daughter is bulimic - mega problems

12:29 am

ooooh, i have a grey box !!!

12:29 am

yeah, me too, it's the first s ;)

12:30 am

lol leslie - that's the same one i have !!!!

12:30 am

and the race is on . . .

12:30 am

me too-s

12:30 am

81 words and I'm starting to lag here... think I may have to toddle off to bed.

12:30 am

Yep. me too

12:31 am

3 way race now

12:31 am

wow, the suspense..

does anyone know what time the lickety clues will be for todays puzzle?

12:31 am

4-way

12:31 am

81?? geez maybe i shouldn't have been yapping about tv so much :)

12:32 am

got the second top row s's greyed out now too :)

12:32 am

81? I've got 23!

12:32 am

ooh, good one teresa. i'm only missing one.

12:32 am

data

12:32 am

yeah leslie - my thoughts exactly - i only have 70, you?

12:33 am

sorry, keep typing in the wrong box

12:33 am

oh yeah, sure, of course, i have about 75. or 38, whichever you prefer

12:33 am

LOL - you crack me up!!!

12:33 am

oh, believe me, there's a lot of babblers on right now who have LOTS more than me or most of us. Sprite does these in minutes -- she's phenomenal.

12:33 am

pls! type in one I don't have!:)

12:34 am

there is a nice ma 7/44 that means when something gets smashed up, it gets ma 7/44

12:34 am

yeah - well - yeah, it's much harder to babble& chat at the same time. so there, i think that's pretty phenomenal too - LOL

12:35 am

are there 3 of those?

12:35 am

I have 5 words --

12:35 am

Want a clue -- 5 big ones here...

only 11 here

12:36 am

thanks, helenkeller . ShadeEagle, don't know if there are 3 of the ma 7/44, so far have just found the one 7 I gave the clue for already.

12:36 am

I've got an impressive a 7/60 at the moment

12:36 am

nice!

12:37 am

oh nice, eage

12:37 am

er, eagle

12:37 am

okay - I've found 2 m 7/44 right now

12:37 am

bottom feeders will rise

12:37 am

12:37 am

mati

12:38 am

oops

12:39 am

My new Icon has arrived!!..... enjoy!

12:40 am

WOW broll!

12:40 am

12:40 am

12:42 am

12:42 am

ooh Chic, love your icon! I saw the movie when it first came out since I couldn't go (was living in Hawaii at the time)

12:42 am

12:43 am

I've seen but 2 incarnations of mrpresident; both endearing :)

12:43 am

12:43 am

You betcha, right down in front

12:44 am

ooh, do tell, knutmeg

12:44 am

and you were in the movie too chic!

12:44 am

hi all, helen keller - you know I'm Deaf and hope there are other Deaf players on board to babble around the grid!

1:03 am

good nite lib :) hey, didn't i aldready say that???

1:03 am

okay, I just hit the halfway with no clues and no list, but it's 2 am and I am UGH tired, so I'll say good night now

1:05 am

Good Night Now

good nite nrk !!!!

Helenkeller, you know Helen Keller did once say "nature makes the differences and society calls them handicaps"

Speaking of handicaps, it is tough to keep up with the rankings; should we all babblers get some "handicaps" with the rankings? :)

1:07 am

crazie is not found...

1:07 am

aargh, to bed

bgood - hk conveyed many profundities - there is one i especially like, click on my profile :)

1:08 am

lib, did you try another ending?

saw your profile which prompted me into chipping in one more while fighting with the grid

1:10 am

yes, I finally have the second s grey!!!! I can now sleep!

1:11 am

how many words today?

1:11 am

what do you mena i can't make a past tense word more past tense. (maybe perhaps its my bedtime?)

bgood - that quote you said reminds me of one by nehru - he said, "life is like a game of cards. the hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will."

1:11 am

253, rycaut

HK - touche

1:12 am

can't find it; must be crazy...

lol luw - ok, this is absolutely the last time i am saying good nite to you -now, good nite!!! :))

1:13 am

when I was pregnant I had cravings okay drop the s, and change that middle letter...

1:13 am

lib, do you mean cr7/60?

1:13 am

making insane - like this puzzle is making me

hi all...start, I see you're in Italy....would you like to add yourself to our map? www.frappr.com/babble We want as many countries represented as possible:)

1:14 am

and me!

1:14 am

I'm still up long enough to say nite again helen; I may be cynical, but watch 4 poseurs :)

1:15 am

oh, an australian dog can't be made past tense either? maybe I shouldn't use that suffix so much...

lib, are you still here too??? ---- gotcha

1:15 am

ok tndaisy

1:15 am

you sound like my husband I'm signing off ...for real this time

ty:)

1:16 am

i am not sure i understood what a "ac5,12" means for opener (sorry guys, i'm a newbie but do pick up quickly)

2:20 am

mrpresident, it really does look like the 6 minute record...

bgood - 5 stands for the length of the word, and 12 is the points that you get when you enter it

2:20 am

sorry, 9 minute!

thanks lickety

2:21 am

newbie is a spy

2:21 am

2:26 am

2:29 am

I am honored, lickety! :-D

2:29 am

Gee -- it must've happened automatically

2:30 am

automatic like payroll deduction!

2:31 am

libarebel - you need to go to the My Account page and click Show Profile so that your flag and your handbag show...

2:31 am

I've got one of the 8s any clues on the other?

2:31 am

LOL or on both since it's hard to know which one I've got!

2:32 am

will do, sherb, ty ;)

got a clue for the you have please

2:32 am

No problem, let me think...

2:32 am

ooh, handbag??

2:32 am

It's what Minas Tirith was in LOTR

2:32 am

and the plural of that

2:33 am

does that help?

2:33 am

the head and shoulders next to the flag - either pink or blue to denote gender - looks like a handbag... :)

who's minas tirith

2:34 am

...and what's LOTR...

2:34 am

It's a place... let's see if I can come up with a better one...

2:34 am

Lord of the Rings by Tolkien

2:34 am

Morning dear gang :)

2:34 am

Morning Sprite

2:35 am

it's another name for a fortress

2:35 am

that'll be a better one

2:35 am

starts with a ci

2:35 am

ty, sherb

2:36 am

I love that clue :)

2:36 am

Which one?

2:36 am

good morning all and ty Miss ABS

2:36 am

The LOTR one.

2:36 am

Ah, I'm a HUGE LOTR fan... well Tolkien I mean.

2:36 am

Me too!

2:37 am

am i pink now?

2:37 am

Excellent! Have you read Unfinished Tales and the Sil?

2:37 am

morning sprite :)

2:37 am

yee-haw!

2:37 am

you are pink liba :)

2:37 am

Of course! Great stuff, filling in so much about the background of LOTR. Hi sherb :)

2:38 am

I'm one of those people who never got Tolkein... like Marmite...

2:38 am

LOL sherb

2:38 am

Oh yeah definitely does. I actually just finished his translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which was pretty good too

2:38 am

It's never too late for Tolkien, sherb. ;)

2:39 am

LOL Well I'm not a marmite fan myself, I much prefer vegemite. No nasty aftertase with that.

2:39 am

aftertaste* I so gotta get a new keyboard

2:39 am

ty, sherb

2:40 am

Morning sprite Aah but you are bias Mss ABS being a Aussie!

2:40 am

yw liba... and welcome to Pro Babble :)

2:40 am

LOL Well true, but we do promite (sp) here too... though I've never tried it.

2:40 am

You need a new keyboard every time you make a typo? Gawd, that would become too expensive for me, LOL.

2:41 am

lol, no it's just my keys stick quite often on t and c

2:41 am

Must tear myself away form the chat and get on with the morning, happy babbling all.

2:41 am

and sometimes v, but that's only when I'm typing really quick

2:41 am

Have a great day, FMitch.

2:41 am

later FMitch :)

2:44 am

Is it a custom now todetermine gender based on the color of one's handbag? (hee hee)

2:45 am

lol

2:46 am

You got me thinking on that one, libarebel! Isn't that discriminating? Shouldn't a man be allowed to wear a pink handbag? And, even more important, shouldn't we women be allowed to wear every color handbag we choose? Even blue? Or none at all?

2:46 am

I'd lose a handbag if i carried one!

2:47 am

i want green

2:47 am

lololol, sprite, yes to all of the above

2:47 am

finally done the Z's... time I got dressed... later all :) hi and bye mab :)

2:47 am

I do have a handbag. Somewhere. Believe it is hanging on the hatstand. Has been there the last year or so. However, it is NOT pink. ;)

2:47 am

mab... lol, you can get a green handbag by not filling the gender part of the profile.

2:48 am

I've got five zs but have no idea on the other three. Probably words I've never heard of before.

2:48 am

gelid

2:48 am

Nah, that is not green. That is grey.

2:48 am

oh, bugger! SORRY!!!

2:48 am

And thanks :)

2:49 am

Hey one of the words is an anagram of the word doing. The kids in my class love anagrams too and we had that one last week!

2:49 am

It looks green to me, Sprite... but I'm prepared to split the difference and call it...bah, you can't hybrid grey and green.

2:50 am

I once used my handbag as a weapon (ok, shoulderbag) on he T in Boston

2:50 am

Hahahaha... ok, green it is then. A dark greyish green :)

2:51 am

greyish green to black... not pink

2:51 am

*grin* greyish green it is. Not as fabulous as pink, but I'm not really a handbag kinda girl myself. I carry a black courier type bag if I can't fit everything I need in my pockets.

2:51 am

it is sort of camouflage color. i thought you might be in the armed forces trish trash :D

2:52 am

Nah Mab, I like the sound of Secret Agent TrishTrash better!

2:52 am

great minds think alike... :)

2:52 am

khaki handbags? Dude, awesome.

2:52 am

"The name is trishtrash. JAMES tristrash. Special Army Forces, license to shoot words."

2:52 am

camouflage--ooh

2:53 am

Good one Sprite

2:53 am

"Shaken and verrrrrry disturbed."

2:53 am

ha! Sprite!

2:53 am

LOL, I'm in favour of any role that gets me closer to a martini ;)

2:53 am

Same here :)

2:54 am

Ooo make that three of us!

2:54 am

morning everyone:)

2:54 am

morning all can anyone please give me a clue for the am 5/14

2:54 am

Hi jean! Martini for you too?

2:54 am

if anyone is wondering where it's after noon to have the proper time for a martini... it's 5:30PM here. Perfecting for alcohol-o'clock!

2:54 am

there is a little game on gamesforthebrain.com which requires one to protect one's font from being italicized.

2:55 am

shaken, not stirred for trish

2:55 am

yes please shaken not stirred

2:55 am

LOLLLL, it is not even 10 am here. I'll save mine for later.

2:55 am

am5/14 = chemistry word am5/6 plus second vowel

2:55 am

esp?? lol

2:55 am

sorry am4/6 + second vowel

2:56 am

its 8.55 here lol

2:57 am

Sprite what's the time difference between you and the UK? Is it past 8AM there yet?

2:57 am

I am never sure about the UK, whether they are with us on DST or not. It is almost 10 am here now.

2:58 am

almost 9am here

2:58 am

ah okay, I'm just supposed to ring a mate of mine in Yorkshire after 8AM lol

2:58 am

You can go ahead then :)

2:58 am

sorry everyone i should have asked for a clue for the 1st 5/14

2:59 am

I might hop off here and do that really quick then trishtrash if it's that late in the day. Which part of the UK are you in?

2:59 am

ruthy perhaps to gather together?

2:59 am

West Midlands, not (comparitively) that far ... but there's no significant time diff over the length of the UK ... 9am is pretty much 9am everywhere.

3:00 am

1st am 5/14

3:00 am

yeah, I was just curious. Anyway, I think I'll hop off and make that phone call. Will probably be back a bit later, but if not have a wonderful day/night/whenever you are! Cheers everyone! *clink*

3:00 am

bye for now

3:01 am

ruthy: don't forget the M below the A. That was my mistake, anyway.

3:01 am

toodles, Miss Abs!

3:03 am

good start to the morning hit the wrong button and disconnected the internet doh

3:03 am

jean, darrrrrling... that little red box with the white cross in it does NOT mark the spot...

3:03 am

hae a martini...

3:03 am

rofl

3:05 am

had martini, can't spell...

3:05 am

just the one, libarebel? ;)

3:06 am

hee hee tr

3:08 am

ty sprite

those m's are a doozie!!

3:09 am

Can you believe I have zero (!) Z-words so far?

3:09 am

Heya MrP, didn't know you were about :)

3:09 am

I've got two of them, Sprite, rhyming with the bell sound.

3:10 am

hiya everyone!!

3:10 am

hi bex

3:10 am

"hi bex" was not found in the dictionary

3:11 am

Well, that is definitely weird! I did enter those and they were not taken. I seemed to remember the word from a certain tea. And now, after your message, I try again and they are taken.

hey, sure am!! three of the z's are like the bell sound and wo of the others are zi+ male sheep

3:11 am

LOL trish!

wo - two

3:12 am

thanks, Mrp, the z's looking much more respectable now!

3:12 am

Yeah! Only 3 to go :) Thanks!

3:13 am

g'nite all, have fun :)

3:13 am

Bye liba, cu later :)

3:13 am

Mrp, I like your orange icon... I have an animated version of that as a lj icon, flashing on and off with the text "defiant citrus"

3:13 am

night liba

3:13 am

g'night libarebel

3:24 am

I found the first Am5/14. Plural french friends.

3:27 am

Sprite--don't you mean Latin?

3:28 am

Latin plural, you are right.

3:29 am

do you have the last am 5/12?

3:29 am

The alt. spelling of the foreign ruler one?

3:30 am

I have the plural of the Eastern ruler

3:30 am

Wait, there is also the one that ends the same as not being able to sleep.

3:32 am

I found Z4/9 misspelled bad habits in biblical sense.

Good morning, all. How's things? Hows' the grid? Doubt I'll finish today - off to get a haircut later...

3:33 am

ty, Sprite

3:33 am

morning matty

3:33 am

It is fun, though the As are overly present :)

3:34 am

morning! ty Sprite for the z--I'm still struggling with that a

50 A's!!! no way!!

3:35 am

Kateq, do you have Am6/21 (Am + girl's name)? Leave out first letter of the name for the 5.

3:35 am

italian friends is ok, but not 'amica' :C

3:36 am

mab: even weirder: female french friend is valid!

3:37 am

253 is too, too much to handle. I don't think I will be joining you today. Have fun everyone, if you can call it fun!

3:37 am

I am having fun right now, ExWren :)

3:38 am

yes, sprite, i noticed that too.

3:38 am

fun is another word for obsession (?)

3:39 am

by now, ExWren, i'm simply programmed to play the game - even if i know i'll hate myself later. I don't know how you do it sprite.

3:39 am

love your icon mab

3:39 am

thank you, and I, yours.

3:40 am

I don't play every day, but if I can, I play. And I love it :) No, I am not obsessed. Just getting a mild attack of paranoia if I do not play. That does NOT count.

3:40 am

sounds very normal, sprite....

3:41 am

I know what you mean sprite, I'm sitting here with fingers itching, and cannot bring myself to log out

3:41 am

if only i could complete this at 10 times the rate you do sprite!

3:41 am

Down to 72 now, so the end is getting in sight. ExWren, I know! It is just such an A7/60 game you cannot resist.

I get frustrated when time, work and family prevent me from finishing. There's no chance I'll finish today's grid - but I'm not ratings obsessed, so it's not a biggie - just frutstrating!

3:44 am

TY Sprite--but it is those two am's (5/12, 6/21) I'm missing I'll come back to it later--I still have 100 other words to find LOL

Ive got 74... I have all the A's

3:45 am

got to go happy babbling everyone hopefully bbl to try for some more:)

3:45 am

Well, ExWren, it's mostly small words today...

3:46 am

Good morning all.

Cripes - even the ac words are causing me problems.

3:47 am

I have a whopping 130 words to go, but not using list yet. So much more fun without the list (for which I'm nevertheless grateful).

3:53 am

hi all! how big is the grid today?

Big - 253 words and 50 A words!

4:00 am

But there are two beautiful endings in this grid, good for lots and lots of common words.

4:09 am

Found the 2nd 8. Ca8/55. Builds on Ca6/24, Ca + first part of the guy that always rings twice. The 6 has a plural as well. The 8 is past tense.

4:09 am

Did you all have problems with the site again or is it just me?

Dunno - had to fold laundry. Humph. Ac4/6 - surely there are only a few possibilites. Damned if I can find them. Columbo (which I am watching at the moment) would have better luck discovering the words.

4:11 am

mattygroves- think of either tennis or card games

Oh, duh. I was looking at the wrong C. I hadn't even noticed there were two.

aced

SORRY!!

4:13 am

That's it, matty ;)

4:16 am

Pfui, As done!

4:17 am

nodded off briefly.. Thanks sprite for that unlikely 8! I sent message to the good doctor about problems with the site; he replied that he'd fixed it. So no, I've not had a problem yet today.

4:18 am

I got a different message now: "Word couldn't be added, try again after a few minutes" or something like that.

4:19 am

Oh, for anyone interested: that Ca-word is related to a medieval hood made of iron rings, designed to protect head and neck.

4:20 am

oh, right, my mother used to wear one - bit old-fashioned now.

4:21 am

No way your mother is that old, lol.

4:21 am

dear old mom and her chain mail wear.

4:21 am

There is another meaning, referring to a kind of hat church officials used to wear.

4:22 am

I like the first definition

4:22 am

hello

4:23 am

Hello maddison.

Oooh - I want admatic to be there. Bummer.

4:23 am

hello maddison

4:23 am

Yeah! Got the final 2 Zs. Za5/22 - 6/36 = Z + A4/5 - 5/12

Hi maddison! How goes it today?

4:24 am

Not good. I have 7 words. but I like it.

4:27 am

maddison, you sound like an addict-to-be :)

4:28 am

I am getting strange images for the Mi6/30 - 7/44 compounds. What on earth can they be?

4:33 am

I got a hard one. It is a dog and I got it on my own.

4:33 am

wtg maddison!

4:34 am

ooo that's good - I needed that, maddison. tx :)

4:34 am

canid

4:35 am

lol!

4:35 am

AAAAAAKKKKKK

4:35 am

you are welcome

4:35 am

I am so so sorry.

4:35 am

lol

4:35 am

Looks like drG is right, we are all getting used to it very fast ;)

4:36 am

I'm not usually.....I've been up all night..... Oh, darn, no excuse.

4:36 am

It's the site, not you, mab. I was joking.

4:37 am

We'll never get used to it, I fear.

4:38 am

No, that's what I felt from the start. And new people will have to start all afresh with getting used to it. Which simply means the site isn't userfriendly.

4:41 am

Done!

4:41 am

One does feel like such a dunce. As a matter of fact, I happen to be a dunce.

4:41 am

Brava, spritely!!!!!!!!

4:41 am

No fireworks though, just like yesterday. I think I have been too much of a bother to be allowed fireworks anymore :)

Well done. I only have 200 to go... Still, there are some cute sparrows on my bird table.

4:42 am

no fireworks!?

4:42 am

You are good sprite. I like you too.

4:42 am

Nope. Didn't get them yesterday either. Script doesn't work, I think. :) It's all about fun, maddison. That's what I am addicted to here.

4:43 am

Our sprite is amongst the very best and, I might add, the most beloved.

Hey Sprite - You checked out the Rankings page lately?

4:43 am

Nope, hardly ever do, lickety. Should I?

4:44 am

lol mab, 'best' should be read 'too stubborn to give up', but I love the beloved :)

Sprite - YOU are a legend of Babble!

4:46 am

Stop it, guys, you have me blushing allover. Babble isn't about rankings, but about fun, wordhunting, and my favorite part: team work! I am crazy about you guys.

4:46 am

Zowie spritey, you've broken the record!

What - even me ;)?

4:46 am

What record?

4:46 am

You especially, matty :)

4:47 am

Your own, I guess.

4:47 am

Any clues needed before I go take a shower?

4:48 am

hello! i've been reading your conversations...congratulations sprite!

4:48 am

hi Raintree.

4:48 am

hellooooooo:)

4:49 am

Hi Raintree, thx :)

ai6/27 help anyone?

4:50 am

no problemo! man...I'm having trouble today...the words ain't coming!!!

4:50 am

Ai6/27 Finishing the grid is what lots of us are ai6 for.

4:50 am

ai6/27 gerund of verb to point at

Doh!

4:50 am

thats me finished bye eveyone

4:51 am

oh.good clue. but i already got that...did you, matty?

4:51 am

wtg ruthy!

4:51 am

Sprite, I have the am5/12--the last one--would you help with the am 6/21?

4:51 am

ruthy's gooooood.

4:52 am

am + girl's name = Am6/21.

4:52 am

ruthy and Sprite--Congrats!

Yep - I'm being grid blind today - not seeing letter that are on the grid!

4:52 am

i still don't get am6/21...i guess i'm slow! :(

4:53 am

I got it now--am + lovely R*** meter maid

4:53 am

TY Sprite

Gosh, what a difference noticing that g makes...

4:54 am

one more A--az 5/22???

4:54 am

i got it i got it!!!! woohoo

4:56 am

Az5/22: not in de middle, alt. spelling.

4:57 am

*the middle, of course. Dutch is getting in the way :)

4:57 am

haha...

4:59 am

I had that! It's the az 5/20! Perhaps I need more coffee...

5:02 am

Az5/20 is plural to the az4/9.

5:04 am

TY!--Clearly, I do need more coffee--or something...

5:05 am

:) There's isn't a single grid in history that I did NOT forget either a plural, a singular (worse) or a verb tense. Usually my last words are very humiliating to find ;)

5:06 am

haha.hmm that makes me think.

5:06 am

I am off to shower, have a great day/night /whatever applies :)

5:06 am

As I look at this grid, I see a criminal lizard, except that neither word is there! And I dread to think what a criminal lizard would look like....

5:07 am

how thoughtful! till next time sprite:) seeya!

5:07 am

isn't that the truth! and nice of you to say...

5:07 am

you too Sprite!

5:07 am

5:09 am

oops --- bye sprite! have a lovely day!

Ileana, we don't give words here, only hints (except sometimes by accident, by accidently typing words into this box). Scroll down and check out the log for more clues, and don't forget the links down the bottom (Friends of Babble)

Mab, what are you doing up now?! You're at LEAST five hours earlier than we are...

5:10 am

yeah we don't give words (though I've wished and hoped many many times)...

Can I please have that hint I asked for at 5:08

5:11 am

morning babblers!

5:11 am

lleana - we don't give words away, just clues. To start you off an5/14 and an 6/27 (think of corners), an5/14 and an6/24 heavenly creature(s)

5:11 am

hellooooooo bonkler! gooooood morrrning!

5:11 am

last am 5/12 = plural of the sac which contains the fetus---think am****** fluid

5:12 am

hey raintree, that's the name of the cafe where i work!

5:12 am

Hey - thanks!

5:12 am

amnia

5:12 am

oops

5:13 am

Hey, Raintree - thanks. I like dragons...

5:23 am

can you guys give me one word plz plz

rainy... apparently my psuedo twin is doing an awesome job! NOT

5:23 am

ileana, then the game wouldn't be that fun just knowing that you didn't do it all by yourself

5:24 am

haha

5:24 am

shut up!!ok!!

Also, if you read the chat, you'll find the odd word.

5:24 am

how??

5:25 am

omg who cares

Scroll down for the last few minutes, and hit the little calculator icon for earlier - up on the upper left

5:25 am

Thankyou all! Haven't had time to chat for a few days now but today will be all mine after the cleaning! Have made the fatal mistake of seaching for words already tho!

5:26 am

will you just tell me!!

5:27 am

shut up lleana

don't be so vulgar! there are children on here!!

5:27 am

you are not no bodys daddy or mama so you shut up~

Heh - I suspect Ileana IS a child.

5:28 am

me too.

5:28 am

iam 30 ok

5:28 am

is lleana 30

5:28 am

Ileana - has anyone directed you to Angelsongs page yet? If you go to the bottom of this page theres a site link that will take you there. You can find out all about the game and find a list that gives you the 1st 2 letters of all the words you need to find.

5:29 am

look. giving you clues is already a favor. throwing a tantrum isn't particularly HAPPY to help you.

5:30 am

angelsong's page is real good!

5:30 am

ileana -- you can find words just by looking, I know you can. Just scan the grid for a bit, and if you get stuck, get the list of the first two letters of each word at babs anon or Angelsong's page (links below).

5:30 am

also check out lickety's site, which i find very helpful when i go thick between the ears

5:30 am

iam bored of this stupid game

5:31 am

5:31 am

i reckon

5:32 am

elide

5:32 am

oops again

5:32 am

5:33 am

8:16 am

Plus two permutations, I hope you saw.

TWO permutations

Where?

8:17 am

I only saw 1 more...

Got it.

8:17 am

I'm not sure I used the proper mathematical term -- we need Hurshy for that -- I was trying to be cute.

8:18 am

Ginger, past and present

8:18 am

LOL... I'm taking a 2nd look... I got the zi4 you suggested and it's plural.

8:18 am

Thank you for the zi's ARB!

8:19 am

yw, Kitty

8:19 am

got it thanks :)

8:24 am

ok..so i could only find 6/8 zs WITH word finder...lol..should i give up now???

OK, the c's bite the dust - onward. Here's a question - do you guys play in order, or have a strategy, or just as you see words? I tend to start with whatever words I see, then work in order, but still adding other words as I see them...

8:26 am

hey Rolin, long time no see!

8:26 am

that's what i do, matty, along with keeping an eye out for clues in chat

8:27 am

I play as I see words and if I'm stuck, I try to look for words in order of the stats.

8:27 am

hey ging... are those kids your grandkids?

8:27 am

Rolin, you should have 2 za's and 6 zi's

8:27 am

i like to find the single word stats...ives me hope to see them grey out..lol

8:28 am

thz arb....im missing zi;s then...

8:28 am

one is my son and the other my grand daughter Rolin!

8:29 am

zi + male sheep and the plural

8:30 am

i have a definite plan of attack: i go row by row, looking for words of each letter...then when that's done, i search randomly for any i missed...then i go for lickety's list

8:32 am

arb..got those..and the **** went the strings and 2 extentions so 1 to go

8:32 am

I need the same Rolin

8:33 am

no, I need 3

8:34 am

whatcha got..?

8:34 am

Rolin shorten the strings on the heart one

8:35 am

ha!...cheers arb

8:36 am

l'chayim

8:37 am

I have the heart strings, the short heart strings, the male sheep ones. need 2 more.

8:37 am

za + ___ Farrow and the plural

8:37 am

they are za...an african nation missing the middle consonant...and its plural

Hit me now if yhou like, but de5/12, anyone? I can see what the first three letters have to be, but monkey typing isn't working...

8:39 am

de 5/12 is the plural of the de 4/5 before it

Tisn't - it doesn't work?

8:41 am

did for me

Are we talking a place to get a hot pastrimi sandwich on rye?

8:42 am

There are 2 de 4/5's. I'm referring to the first.

8:42 am

No, not the pastrami place.

8:42 am

same letters though

8:42 am

And don't make me homesick -- can't get a pastrami in Israel.

8:42 am

2 anagrams of that place tho

Me too - I'm looking for the 5/12 between the sandwich place and the other word

8:43 am

oooh..cant keep eyes open..need a little snooze.. im starting to feel the effects the concert last night...(i saw eric clapton at theroyal albert..sensational!!!)..see ya all later...

8:43 am

bye rolin

8:44 am

8:44 am

bye rolin

8:44 am

Ok - got the fives - now the de7/36...

Hi anniebrook

9:18 am

I could have sworn "marm" has been accepted before, but now it's "not found in the dictionary". :(

i tried it on another puzzle before this one, kitty, and it wouldn't accept it. but i think it should! I think it will only accept if it's attached to school

the first AM 5 14 ? ....... PLEASE

am 5/14 is a chemistry term...take the preceding 4/6 and add a vowel to the end

9:24 am

Sorry Grim - I haven't ANY am14s yet!

9:25 am

am 4/6 what you are when in a crowd

9:25 am

Oh good -got it from your clue benda thank you!

oh...i see it, i should learn to read better. am 5/14 take the word for a friendly sort of chap am***able), remove the last four letters, and add the second vowel of the alphabet

i have the one ending in e

amazing

srry

thanks for that. cheers

no problem grim....now if only i could find the ad6/24, i'd only have a hundred and twenty left to find

lol

9:45 am

Awwwww Cliff that is so sweet.....

9:45 am

That's a good reason to Babble Cliffopa :D

9:45 am

ti6 = measure how long it takes & yes 7 is plural

9:46 am

Thanks ilandrah. Got 'em. I never saw that ing ending, but now I've spotted it, I'm away!

9:46 am

every once in a while he looks up at me with sleepy eyes and makes sort of a tired sound - i just want to cry he is so damned cute.

9:47 am

How old is he, cliffopa?

9:47 am

aaaw

9:47 am

'brady' is now 11 weeks old.

aww cute]

9:48 am

Great name. Is that him on your icon?

9:48 am

i haven't raised a kitten in 18 yrs. i forgot how cute they are. i usually adopt older cats with health issues. yes, brady is my icon today.

9:49 am

Cliff you deserve a metal Hon....Brandy is looks fiesty and frisky...you have done well.

9:49 am

hydra, i have a 'tuxedo' cat who likes to lay in weird positions like your cat.

lol

i have 2 cats and ones orange and ones white and grey

9:50 am

thanks faerie - i'm getting back everything i'm giving.

9:50 am

I've just spotted mine lying on his back on the soaking wet grass, legs akimbo, because the fox has sprayed there and it's his favourite perfume!

9:50 am

mizz, my favorite cat of all time was orange & white. he lived to be 17.

wow

9:51 am

hydra - yuk!

my fave cat cuddles with me and is so sweet

9:51 am

My partner had two that lived to be 22 and 23. They were called Bastard and Trollop!!! That says a lot about him...

9:51 am

i love cuddlers. brady is the 1st one i've had since my orange cat (sydney) passed away.

he lays like a human head on the pillow lol

9:52 am

Aaaah! Felix, the one on my icon, was a feral, but is now as cuddly as anything. Except he won't let anyone pick him up. He has to approach you.

9:53 am

i wish mine would live longer. most of mine have come from homes where they were not taken care of. I usually don't get them until they are 10 or older and have multiple issues.

9:53 am

My cat sleeps in the funniest positions, it's like she has no bones at all!

lol

9:53 am

she also meows in her sleep

9:54 am

when my kitty (zoe) gets in strange positions my husband and i say she is doing her yoga.

9:54 am

I talk and sing in mind, but have never been known to meow!

9:55 am

my big old himalayan 'beethovan' snores. but then again, so do i.

9:55 am

What kind of cat is a himalayan?

mine

shes a small hymilayan

9:56 am

What do they look like?

9:56 am

the himalayn breed was developed from crossing persians with siamese. they have smushed faces and always look grumpy :(

9:57 am

Ah. Cute!

mine is white blue eyes grey stripes o i guess mine isnt i thot it was

9:58 am

i never really thought they were cute until i adopted 2 of them 3 yrs ago. the older one (16) went to kitty heaven a little over a month ago. he had beautiful blue eyes and white/light grey fur like silk.

yea thats mi cat

shes a kitten

9:59 am

himalayans come in all colors mizz. the blue eyes are what makes them really special.

9:59 am

I had a Hemmingway cat for several years......came from the home of Ernest Hemmingway in the Florida Keys and what a wierd cat. Lots of interbreeding going on there.

wow

9:59 am

i heard a lot of those cats died during last year's hurricanes.

*cry*

10:00 am

very sad.

yea

10:00 am

Really Cliff - I never even thought of that....that is so sad..

10:01 am

That is sad :(

wow

10:03 am

there are many cat lovers on babble mizz. a lot of us use pics of them as icons.

10:04 am

I've been trying to switch the brolly into a picture of my BooBoo, but it's not updating for me... yet

10:05 am

oddly enough when you look at my profile you see the kitty picture, but it won't show up here

10:05 am

refres kitty, i can see booboo

10:05 am

i meant refresh

10:06 am

I've been refreshing for a while now, and all I get is the brolly

umbrella?

zide

10:07 am

your booboo looks just like my zoe, even down to the sleeping position.

10:07 am

what color eyes?

10:07 am

yellow

10:08 am

i have to change so you can see her. brb.

ok

10:08 am

it's pretty impossible to take a photo of her when she's awake, unless I'm trying to take a picture of something else, and then she's all over the camera

10:10 am

if you refresh you can now see her

10:11 am

aaw

10:11 am

she has yellow eyes with a little green around the pupils.

10:12 am

BooBoo used to have a little green around the pupil when she was a kitten

10:12 am

jetX from Hawaii

10:12 am

10:13 am

hi jetx

10:13 am

hi cliffopa

10:15 am

Hi jetx -

10:15 am

hi faeriekae

10:16 am

10:16 am

How is everyone today?

10:16 am

everyone lol

10:16 am

hi jetx:) we need another Hawaiian on our map!

10:16 am

hi fb

10:17 am

Hi daisy19! Well I'm just visiting for a couple of weeks.

10:17 am

oic:)

10:17 am

sorry...I can't keep up with where everybody is unless I look

10:17 am

Yep, here from Seattle doing alittle surfing....

10:18 am

I'm kinda partial to WA...stepson is up there, and of course, Stid:)

10:19 am

ello cliffopa how r u

10:21 am

i'm great fb. where are you from ?

10:22 am

anyone have the de 7/36?

10:25 am

100 words found, too may left. I shall go have some cake and snuggle with the man now. Bye all!

10:26 am

I can't find any of the ce words. How dumb is that?

10:26 am

de 7/36 is to establish boundaries

10:26 am

de 7/36 is de

10:26 am

God morning all. Anyone have the second am5/14? I'm wondering whether I should have started on this monster--it'd hard work today

10:27 am

de 7/36 is de + the word for the farthest extent

10:27 am

It's the preceding word plus the 2nd vowel

10:27 am

(The am 5/14)

10:28 am

the second am 5/14 is a chemistry term. take the preceding am 4/6 and add a vowel at the end

10:30 am

I'm with you, hetty, not sure if i should have started this puzzle today. i've got 190 so far, and this is one bugger!

10:31 am

You're doing well, bendamalina. I've only got 121 and that's in two hours!

10:31 am

Thanks, bend, I have that one. It mustr be the other I*'m missing--I can never get them in the right order

10:31 am

I think i've probably been here for two hours, maybe

10:32 am

Then you're plain brilliant! Well done.

10:32 am

Thanks to you too ,hydra. If you have them all, please give me a clue to the other am5/14

10:33 am

I've been here two hours also, bend, and I have a measly 59 words. How do you do it?

10:33 am

the other am 5/14 is a plural of some latin...take the word for a friendly sort of chap (am**able) and remove the ending, then add a vowel

10:34 am

The other is ca plus plural mothers (British abbreviation)

10:34 am

i'm using lickety's list, hetty!

10:34 am

How do you do it, Hydra? our rates are so different

10:35 am

also...i monkeytype like you wouldn't believe

10:35 am

I don't think I've done well at all!

10:35 am

ty bend, hubby came in and distracted me for a bit.

10:35 am

bend, I thank you. Got it.

10:36 am

Mind you, I do work as a literary consultant and writer, but I still don't know a fraction of the Babble words.

10:36 am

yvw cliff and hetty

10:37 am

hydra, I've spent my life as a wordsmith. I swear some of the babble words appear nowhere but in enable.

10:37 am

holy crumbcakes! there are sooo many ma words today!

10:37 am

I agree. They are really obscure. I like your musical icon, hetty. Do you play an instrument?

10:38 am

even for a monkey typer, bend?

10:39 am

hah! yes, especially for a monkeytyper...i guess i'm a mathematical/alphabetical monkey typer...which works better when you know where at least some of the words belong

10:40 am

Hello, and welcome to another edition of "Who's Birthday Is It Anyway?"..... I am your host, Movieman (A.K.A. CinematicHomoSapiens)..... Now, I've decided to make today's celebrity easy to identify, so, without further ado, let the game begin!!!!!

10:40 am

CHER

10:40 am

Hydra---I SING (also write songs, used to play harp, still play a little piano, but have arthritis which is why I can't type or play either instrument well...but I can still sing and "how can I keep from singing?"

10:41 am

Pretty obvious, wasn't it.....

10:41 am

a little

10:41 am

HELLO ALL HAPPY SATURDAY!

10:41 am

Hello there movieman, and aren't you smart and canny today? Correction, Every day!

10:41 am

You're exactly like me! I sing, write songs, play piano and guitar and now can only strum because of arthritis in my fingers. Too much typing over the years!

10:42 am

Hello Lucky!

10:42 am

We should communicate more. Are you going to the June 19 event?

10:42 am

HI Hydra I read you are a musician too how nice!

10:43 am

Hullo Lucky., nice to meet you.

10:43 am

Hetty - would that be the one in London.....

So is hetty. I once played in Belgium - second on the bill to a band called Family way back in the '70s. Sand in Liege and Antwerp. Very scary!

10:44 am

Musicians of the babble world, unite. Yes the one babbler is promoting. Alas it's too far for , but zi want to send a message

10:44 am

Oh, you come from Netherlands, not Belgium. One of my favourite places. I have been loads of times.

10:45 am

I am considering it, Hetty, but I also realise that it's only a month away......

10:46 am

Hey my stats have gone although my wordlist is still intact ....what's up????

10:47 am

Hi Hetty!

10:47 am

That happens sometimes, Lucky. Don't know why. Gotta pop out. See you all later.

10:47 am

Hydra, I wondered why you started in on Belgium then realized that message was for another babbler. Happens all the time. Anyway, good on you. As for the stats list---anything might happen, and frequently does

10:48 am

I've wondered if there are any Belgian babblers out there....

10:49 am

Woodstock was definitely one of the highlights of my life... We went with 11 folks; 9 in VWBus and 2 on motorcycle.

11:55 am

I am very jealous chic - I must have been amazing...

11:56 am

I started playing Babble last fall when the site was featured on MSNBC and I love it. As far as my social life, my husband died 3 months ago so I don't have one.

11:56 am

((((maribelshop)))) I am so sorry.

11:56 am

so sorry, maribelshop

11:56 am

maribel...I'm very sorry to hear that. We're glad you're here.

11:57 am

We luckily left the night before because they were closing the NJ Parkway behind us. We had to park 1/2 mi away and walk in. My friend still has our tickets as they never collected them...

11:58 am

Wow. How incredibly cool is that? Do you remember seeing The Who's set?

11:59 am

so sorry maribelshop... this is a good place to be :)

11:59 am

You bet! After fri. nite we got smart and took our sleeping bags and food and water in on Sat. and stayed up all nite...

12:00 pm

MAN! I am turning very green with envy. They are my favorite band...if you couldn't tell from my icon today :)

12:00 pm

We right in the middle of the stage not too far back. It was the first time Crosby STills and Nash played live together.

12:00 pm

maribelshop, I've found this to be a very suportive community.

12:01 pm

chic - very very cool.

12:02 pm

Thanks for the welcome & the words of support. Because I've played so often and been following the chats, I feel like I already know some of you.

12:02 pm

The most amazing thing was very early on Sun. morning, Jimi Hendricks came out and did his long version of the Star Spangled Banner just as the sun was coming up...It was awesome!!!!!

12:05 pm

I have this novel in my head......

12:05 pm

hmm, how about an N word? those are the two letters that I have nothing on

12:41 pm

yeah hurshy, i needed a clue for this same ma7/44 earlier cause it stumped me...and i said that i had the two that had to do with disfigurment, and i got a clue for washing procedure...turns out that the word comes from the process of wringing water out of laundry, before the days of drying machines

1:30 pm

ahh, i see. so i'm done with m7's i guess then?

boysaway - rhymes with what you do on a bicycle

1:40 pm

Thanks hurshy

1:40 pm

benda are there many ci's? i only have the 7/8 combo.

there's an am5/14 that is a chemistry term, and then there's an am 5/14 that is the plural of a latin word (take the word for a friendly sort [am**able], remove the able, and add a vowel)

1:40 pm

Man, this is painful, 27 to go!

try 40 and no list, boysaway, for true suffering

1:48 pm

It's those M and A words that are killing me

Hurshy, thanks but still missing two li5/12s

2:28 pm

ok, good to know, just found one - add 3 letters that sound like when you know the special trick to do something... you have a _____ for it

2:28 pm

boys, one is the plural of the capital of peru, or li** beans (although no singular)

2:28 pm

we do get the singular, leslie!

2:28 pm

oh wait i lied, it takes the singular too

2:28 pm

and that's 2 plural fish for me today!! argh.

2:29 pm

too many where you can go more than one way and you don't notice the s.

2:29 pm

'sok, hursh, i had the sing. but not the plural as well

2:30 pm

that leaves me just one L

2:30 pm

oh i just got all the L's hursh!

2:30 pm

do you have two lo's?

2:30 pm

2 LO, 1 LE?

2:30 pm

hurshy, special trick?? - what letter would that part of the word start with?

2:31 pm

boys, like a knick-k***k

2:31 pm

well, the WORD would start with a silent K, but i don't mean you to use that.

2:31 pm

that's right hursh, you must be missing an li

2:31 pm

paddywhack, give a dog a bone...

2:33 pm

no, in a good way

2:33 pm

:)

2:33 pm

say boysaway, you need any O clues?

2:34 pm

Hi all! A paddywhack: when you thump an Irishman?

2:34 pm

thanks

2:34 pm

seems as good an answer as any, amanda

2:34 pm

or a police officer maybe - isn't a paddywagon a police car?

2:35 pm

yes, it is but a paddywak?????

2:36 pm

..or to thresh a rice field?

2:36 pm

right so i meant a paddywhack could be when you thump a police officer.... ohh, good one amanda

2:36 pm

no hurshy, I have all the Os, thanks

2:36 pm

or if he whacks you

2:36 pm

rats.

2:37 pm

boys! you're holding out on us.

2:37 pm

Why?

2:37 pm

I try, I try - how many am I looking for today <thinks she probably doesn't want to know>

2:37 pm

you don't, ac - 253

2:37 pm

253 and it's really a bear

2:37 pm

<thinks she was right not wanting to know>

2:37 pm

lol, we were looking for two o's - i have og 4, og5, ol5... what am i missing?

2:38 pm

Another ol5 and its plural

2:39 pm

ol5/10 and ol6/18

2:39 pm

GOT the little buggers.

2:40 pm

ah, thanks boys

2:40 pm

ca5/14 and ca6/24 please?

2:40 pm

do these come in a row boys? now you're talking!

2:41 pm

yes they appear to hurshy

2:41 pm

are there 2 5/14's cause i have one... dog-like

2:41 pm

hey all

2:42 pm

yes

2:42 pm

exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcellent

2:42 pm

hi cathy

2:43 pm

hmmm the other one is a pl with no singular, rhymes with a terrorist org that starts with h, boysaway.

2:43 pm

and then double the last letter for the 6

2:43 pm

woot, that's 16 to go!

2:44 pm

thanks hurshy, you've overtaken me, 17 to go

2:44 pm

with 93 left, i believe it's time to pull out the trusty list...

2:44 pm

LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2:44 pm

all Ms and As!

2:44 pm

oh mine are scattered about.

2:44 pm

i am stubborn with that list, too

2:45 pm

work on the m's first boysaway ;)

2:46 pm

okay, first two mi words please - the 5 and 6?

2:46 pm

i'll get right on it!

2:47 pm

lol, i don't have a lot of time to work on this today, maybe an hour or so more :)

2:47 pm

boysaway... don't tell me you are looking for MI5?

this is a real challenge - took me about 4 hours to track down 101 out of 253 - this can easily be a full-time job...typically how many hours should a "pro" finish a grid?

2:47 pm

or MI6, come to think of it?? lol

hey all, back for round two :)

2:48 pm

lol, mi5/14 and mi6/24 please

2:48 pm

bgood... depends how you define a 'pro'.. see... I consider myself a pro and I NEVER finish the grid!

2:48 pm

bgood, it really depends on the grid. today's is really hard. there was 47 worder that took only 10 mins for me the other day.

2:49 pm

but hursh isn't even considered a pro babbler, i think she's at superstar babbler status

then I'd be worried what I should call myself - I consider myself a rookie and I NEVER finish typing each word...

2:49 pm

boys, the only mi 5/14 i have is the plural of a mi 4/6

2:50 pm

leslieann, you shouldn't say things like that... you cover me with confusion

2:50 pm

got the mi5/14

2:50 pm

it usually takes me maybe two hours, and that's with the list

2:50 pm

boys - like swamp gas, A thick vaporous atmosphere or emanation, leave off a letter

Hurshy - 47 in 10 minutes is outstanding - what is your salary? I'd have to hire you.

2:50 pm

hire me for what? babble?

Naturally.

2:51 pm

ah yes.. the 47 worder... I did actually complete that... in 20 mins though, so nowhere near hurshy's time!

2:51 pm

wow.... all this time i've been saying it would be great if people would pay us to babble... this is the first offer...

2:51 pm

thanks amandacath

2:51 pm

OK, I'll try: first name of former Mrs. Sinatra/Previn, plus abbreviation for sadomasochism -- then pluralize it

hahaha!

2:51 pm

oh man, i missed a 47-worder? i really should check in every day even if i don't think i'll do them

2:51 pm

however, i cannot tell a lie, if you want to hire someone, you should hire sprite.

2:52 pm

i've never seen that mi without an a at the end. weird.

2:52 pm

oh, thanks erda

2:52 pm

you have NOW, hurshy

2:52 pm

ack! the dreaded 14!

2:52 pm

me either - but it was so tempting, I just had to try it to see if it worked

2:53 pm

well yes erda, i have. i got it from amanda's clue :)

2:53 pm

at first amanda i was like, methane?

2:53 pm

ok.. any clues for the ca8? i think it's ca - I got the ci8

2:53 pm

it ends with an ma 6/24, cathy

2:53 pm

it's past tense of a ca6, ca + post (as in letters)

2:54 pm

had the ca, somebody clue me on the ci?

2:54 pm

2 gn, or more than that?

2:54 pm

thank you!

2:54 pm

military academy ci7, pl for ci8

2:54 pm

that's it, hursh

2:55 pm

mi5/12 please?

2:55 pm

duh - thx hursh!

2:55 pm

i take it you don't mean the plural coin boys...?

2:56 pm

oh man!

2:56 pm

or maybe you do

2:57 pm

I have 5 ma words missing but can't face trying to identify which ones they are as there are soooo many

2:57 pm

umm... coin boy?

2:57 pm

it's a biblical coin amanda, sounds like a talking bird

2:58 pm

boys, how about an ma 5/14 - as in ma*** and papi

2:58 pm

3:06 pm

they freak out over it so much i had to make up a word for it.

3:07 pm

i think it's fear of the number 14

3:07 pm

3:07 pm

while stuck at 149 and scratching my head - I come to wonder - are there "babble" tournaments?

3:37 pm

ty boysaway

3:38 pm

today is NOT the day to be wondering such things

3:38 pm

today is a day on which we curse babble and its tormenting grip upon us

tormenting is a very conservative word

3:39 pm

we weep and mourn and gnash our teeth and clothe ourselves in sackcloth and ashes

haha

3:39 pm

and keep on playing!!

3:39 pm

how does one gnash one's teeth, anyway?

any clues for ti 6?

3:39 pm

well of course we keep on playing, that's part of the curse. we're like the pirates of the caribbean.

3:40 pm

a comedian needs to have good ti6

3:40 pm

never saw that movie, hurshy, is it worth renting?

good thing we don't get penalized for wrong word entries!

3:40 pm

Hetty, m**** dr God hope he works miracles for me!

3:41 pm

hmmm, i dunno peri, i thought it was alright, but not splendiferous. (we don't bgood)

thnx Hursh

3:41 pm

oh you said that, it wasn't a question, silly me

3:42 pm

and how many other ti's have you found, chrissie (says hurshy, just making ever-so-casual conversation)

peri - pirates part 2 will be released in the summer - i guess

3:44 pm

ok, but I guess I would need to see the first pirates first, I will look in the free library

3:45 pm

up to 100 words, time for a break, bbl

3:46 pm

3:48 pm

Can anyone m*** me the 7's begin letter list?

I have all th three ti's Hurshy, noow working on tas

4:04 pm

anyone know what happened to Micki from Berlin,Havent seen him for awhile.

4:05 pm

i think so.....

4:05 pm

yes yvo he decided to leave.

4:05 pm

mahalo = thanks

4:05 pm

ty hurshy

4:05 pm

aloha = hello or good bye

4:05 pm

i thought he liked babbling

4:05 pm

oh i thought mahalo was just like well wishing of any sort

4:06 pm

Why did Mikey go away, hursh?

4:06 pm

um... how to answer that...

4:07 pm

i'll have to look into it....back shortly

I can find sa 6,21

4:08 pm

good for you chrissie!

lol, I meant Cant

my bad

4:08 pm

mikey expressed a feeling that perhaps babble was not the community for him.

4:09 pm

sa + vowel + short for 60 seconds other sa6 is prophet from the bible with 4th letter changed to a different vowel

4:09 pm

websters has mahalo = thank you but hawaiians probably have extented meanings to the word....thank you is kind of cut and dried.....

any clus?

*clues

4:09 pm

thank you hurshy

4:10 pm

in other words it was not gay enough

4:11 pm

i do not believe he expressed any sentiment of that sort, nor do i think that would be an accurate reflection of his feeling.

4:12 pm

ok good enough for me i still miss his banter

4:12 pm

hello everyone. jetx- aloha, my girlfriend is from Kaua'i- we're both in new york

4:12 pm

Nice....I'm from Seattle....just over here surfing and hanging out

4:13 pm

I thought it might have been something along those lines with Mikey ... possibly someone suggested that he contributed a bit too much banter?

4:13 pm

cool- you can surf in seattle? or do you mean online surfing

well, looks like I have to quit for now with 50 left

gotta get to work

4:14 pm

not exactly, amanda. of course any interested parties can certainly peruse the archived chat logs.

4:14 pm

I may just have to do that...

4:14 pm

i have a question for anyone who knows the answer: knowing in advance one doesn't have a lot of time to spend on a grid, is it better to start a puzzle or not start a puzzle as far as rankings go?

4:21 pm

yes, my feelings precisely erda.

4:21 pm

i have 21 ma's

4:21 pm

NOT, bryan.

4:22 pm

a-ha, that's what i thought...thanks Hurshy! i didn't start today's

4:23 pm

can't wait to see the word list tomorrow : )

4:23 pm

BryanC as far as im concerned ,you can tell by my age ,im doing it for fun and keep my mind sharp , ratings are for the real babblers

4:24 pm

these last 4 are killing me.

4:25 pm

haha... you've got the right idea probably

4:25 pm

I just don'T have the patience for this one - I'm going to the list

4:25 pm

hurshy,not that i'm very good but what do you need. i might accidently have something

4:25 pm

Bryan, where do you find yesterday's word list???

we all should think like you yvo

4:25 pm

4:25 pm

sometimes i surprise myself

4:26 pm

well i don't know exactly, luwanda, cause i'm not using the list. but i need a ca, a ta, an ma, an mi, and 2 of them are 5's and 2 of them are 6's. pick out any weirdos you may have. :)

4:26 pm

all I get in archives is the complete chat list (which takes forever to load...)

4:27 pm

i think we ALL play for fun, we just have different definitions of fun. when i say "tormenting grip", you see, that means fun.

4:27 pm

to me its alot of fun and ill walk away,and dont feel i must finnish to keep up ,i have learned alot

4:27 pm

Good morning everyone, i've done 11 words so far and only have a few hours to go. My daughters mouse died in my hand last night, very sad.

6:03 pm

smazing, like a family, we tend to be very supportive, caring, and protective of one another.

6:05 pm

Svet - v. sorry to hear about the mouse. I went through that scenario a few times with mice. Even kept one down my bra once to keep it warm.

6:05 pm

sorry svet

6:06 pm

6:06 pm

i'm sorry svet. hope your daughter is ok.

6:09 pm

Yeah thay really are sweet little creatures. She wasn't very old we had 2 actually the other one died on Friday, They where both about 8 months old, something resperitory. She's ok I think it was just a shoch having her die in my hand, poor Ebony and Frisky. We took them to the vet but it was too late, they are so small.

6:11 pm

Svet - Unfortunately, a year - 18 months is about all mice and hamsters live for. The bra mouse that I mentioned nearly made 3-years-old, but that is almost unheard of.

6:13 pm

hello jera and nrkii

6:13 pm

6:13 pm

Hi to those who've just arrived.

i used to work for a gentlelady who was able to care for three mice who all lived together for three plus years - am not sure of the kind of mice they were - they were common mice, i believe and lived primarily on peanut butter (sigh)

6:14 pm

hello everyone!!!

6:14 pm

I got about half done in the wee hours last night, and now I'm here for the hard parts...

6:14 pm

Just popped back with a new icon to celebrate Finnish rockers, Lordi, winning the Eurovision Song Contest and at last bringing something theatrical, rock and fun to it. They truly are 'monsters of rock'. LOL. Wonder if they'll turn up at The Monster of Rock Festival at Milton Keynes on June 3rd? Me and my daughter will be there to see them if they do. Mind you, Alice Cooper, who's headlining it, along with Deep Purple, Ted Nugent and Queensryche, might ask them if they pinched his song, 'Poison'!

8:41 pm

feather, what are you looking for?

8:41 pm

8:58 pm

i have no idea how, but my lickety list refreshed@

8:58 pm

we just have to wait it out till they can fix it, and in the meantime, we often joke about it

8:58 pm

9:04 pm

one of the 7s is from the 1970s and early '80s American TV show - That's AM*

9:05 pm

don't know the show dino-but if it's the one containing something for rats to find their way through then I have it.

9:05 pm

It is

9:06 pm

and there is a VERY popular set of letters in that word that are pretty much in all of the 7s

9:06 pm

yup

9:06 pm

but not necessarily the ending

9:06 pm

List of 7's: am7/60, at7/32, ca7/36, ca7/36, ci7/36, cr7/60, de7/36, ma7/44, ma7/40, ma7/44, ma7/44, mi7/44, mi7/44, sa7/32, sa7/32, ti7/40.

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

Forever grateful Jac! Now have to go off hunting for a while. Might need to come back for clues in a while

9:09 pm

I don't have one single at word

9:09 pm

can someone help me with one that might jump start my brain

9:09 pm

brb

9:09 pm

even a good fish one?

9:10 pm

many of them have a 2 point letter right away

9:10 pm

nrkii - A fish one is part of the carp family - da4/6.

9:10 pm

9:10 pm

nrkii-a hindu term for soul, essence, spirit, then the plural

9:12 pm

back

9:12 pm

and her family

9:13 pm

who?

9:13 pm

lol

9:13 pm

Nrkii - Sorry! I need new specs, I reckon. I thought you said you didn't have A single word, not a single 'at' word.:-/

9:13 pm

feather, you get it?

9:13 pm

jac, no worries

9:13 pm

I was happy not to get any fish-deserving words in the AT's

9:14 pm

Anyway, back to my 7-letter word clues, if they are needed...

9:14 pm

sweety, golda's last name was me, not ma ;) she went to the HS i teach at

9:14 pm

if you were hinting at ma*** family, i have that one

9:14 pm

at7/32 - Hindu for the individual essence or soul.

9:14 pm

i meant i'm getting lost on which ones to check off!

9:14 pm

but it sounds like the MA word, no?

9:15 pm

true

9:15 pm

ca7/36 - US crocodilians like alligators but smaller.

9:16 pm

ca7/36 - sounds a bit like the type of knitted armour it is - a knight's neck protector or the neck-piece of a Mediaeval hood.

9:16 pm

jacula-usually once I have the 2nd letter lists i can get them righ away, but this list has me stumped for about half of them. Any clues for the at7

9:16 pm

ma 5/14 that comes right after what my son calls me?

9:17 pm

Eva - see my clue at 9:14.

9:17 pm

feather, Auntie MA** but insert third vowel before last letter

9:18 pm

AT7/32 is an anagram of 'a man sat'.

9:18 pm

would help if i had a clue which auntie you were referring to!

9:18 pm

rhymes with "not different"

9:18 pm

ooo got it!

9:18 pm

took a guess!

9:19 pm

got it jac! Had it with a different spelling for a 6

9:19 pm

jac, I don't get the second ca 7

9:19 pm

can't seem to get there

9:20 pm

nm, got it

9:20 pm

ci7/36 - a fortress near a city or town. Title of an A.J. Cronin novel, 'The Ci*****'.

9:20 pm

once again, nrkii ignores an S

9:20 pm

cr7/60 - driving mad.

9:20 pm

missing the ma7/40 and one of the ma7/44's. Have the two that are disfiguring

9:21 pm

some help w/ t

9:22 pm

ma7/40 - could be the alternate spelling of the clothes wringer? The surname of Joe Ma**** (played by Mark Little) way back when the Aussie soap, 'Neighbours' first began?

9:22 pm

that doesn't help me

shavuah tov! (a good {new} week!)

hi everyone ! left off last night with 100 to go, didn't seem like alot then, it sure does now!

9:24 pm

hey helenkeller

9:24 pm

Carlsbad, if there isn't more than one ma7, then it's what happened to a car in a SEVERE wreck - it got ma*

9:24 pm

ma7/44's - 1 = disfiguring or injuring. 2 = plural clothes wringers (alternate spelling). 3 = all twisted and broken and out of shape. 4 = a root crop (yellow beet) mainly grown as cattle feed.

9:24 pm

hey helen, I feel exactly the same

9:25 pm

Hi Helen. I'm here for a while to clue. I was doing clues for the 7-letter words, but I've lost my thread now. LOL.

9:26 pm

ok, another ma 5/12, after the beet

9:26 pm

hi helen!

9:26 pm

i already had that one

9:26 pm

i don't have the beet

9:27 pm

feather, did you get the ma 5/12 that is an obsession

9:27 pm

ooo, the beet is a compound word...male + shiny yellow metal

9:27 pm

nrkii - for the beet think of a male and then what the mining rush was about.

9:27 pm

that was it!!!! thanks!

9:28 pm

oh of course! sorry jac, should have seen that

9:28 pm

y/w nrkii

9:28 pm

Do you need any more 7's now, Eva?

9:29 pm

9:29 pm

i could use some

9:29 pm

Jacula, could you do me a huge favor? Your list has slsipped below the horizon and every time I try to go to the older chat log my computer freezes up and I have to reboot. Could you possibly copy it and post it again?

9:29 pm

9:29 pm

9:29 pm

I'm still missing 3 of them

9:33 pm

ma 6/24, not what you did to a letter?

9:33 pm

Dr_God/Jamie - Haven't checked if you're on line right now but this problem with checking back on the chatlog not only stymies clue-finding but also the whole ethos of being 'a family'.

9:33 pm

silly words

9:33 pm

thanks mac!

9:33 pm

yw :)

9:33 pm

jac, though it allowed us to show our teamworking skills (scroll down)

9:34 pm

9:34 pm

9:34 pm

hetty-rhymes with how your leg feels when it falls asleep

9:34 pm

i think what happens at a party is an mi word

9:34 pm

I was so happy when I found de4/6+lower limb (and its plural) in the UK morn., many hours ago. They weren't allowed though! DRAT!

9:35 pm

mi6/27, and mi 7/44

9:35 pm

ti 7 is plural of 6/27 jee

9:35 pm

Jac-any clues for the 2 sa7's?

9:35 pm

Eva, if mum is the word, how come it's ma?

9:35 pm

I don't have the ti6 either.

9:35 pm

it's mi

9:35 pm

either

9:36 pm

Jee, when you show up just when people want you to, they say you have perfect TI****

9:36 pm

hetty-the leg sensation begins with ti-

9:36 pm

thanks nrkii

9:36 pm

u guyz r such good people

9:36 pm

ma 6/24, not what you did to a letter?

9:37 pm

feather, you crazy MA****

9:37 pm

add a letter to 5/12

9:37 pm

(sorry, should have pointed that one out to you before)

9:37 pm

lol, got it! good clue

9:37 pm

sa7/32 is the plural of a word meaning noodle.

9:38 pm

I've never had a leg sensation beginning with ti. I'll just give up on the party line and go back to lickety

9:38 pm

time to get a snack and take a break, my brain's stalling

9:38 pm

just two more 7's and I can go to sleep a relatively contented woman.....she whimpers, hoping for clues to the sa7's

9:38 pm

nrkii are u a female...r u 37 and r u from new jersey

9:38 pm

thats good

9:38 pm

aleksia, yes yes yes

9:38 pm

sa7/32 is an anagram of 'mini ass'. LOL.

9:38 pm

kool

9:39 pm

eva, one of the sa'7 is plural of a word that sounds like a male biblical sort of name

9:39 pm

hetty- rhymes with another name for santa, kris kr*****

9:39 pm

how about at7?

9:39 pm

guess what everyone

9:39 pm

Eva, I can give you oine sa7. Think of the boy Sam*** who slept in the tempole and change his second owel to an"i"

9:39 pm

jee, think of the piece of furniture in front of your easy chair, but use an A at the beginning

9:40 pm

what?

9:40 pm

i have a word thats worth 60 points

9:40 pm

at7, at* boy! plus plural for men

9:40 pm

The other sa7/32 is a hot Sahara wind that sounds like a Biblical man's name in plural. However, the last 2 vowels need changing.

9:40 pm

thanks nrkii, wouldn't have gotten it without you

9:40 pm

Kaurie, of course I've had that sensation... not in my legs however. Thanks!

9:41 pm

okay, got the noodle one, now need to figure out the other.

9:41 pm

hetty do u have 4 children

9:41 pm

aleksia, nice!

9:41 pm

what 60 points

9:42 pm

aleksia, may be better to accept people's profiles at face value

9:42 pm

okay sorry

9:43 pm

np

9:43 pm

i just find it interesting....ppl r from different places....some r older and some r younger

9:43 pm

completely confused. The only desert wind i can think of is a hamsim. And the biblical guys should be samson,but there aren't two vowels at the end to switch around?

9:43 pm

Eva - for the sa word - think of the chap who had his hair chopped off by Delilah.... Those are your first 3 letters. The last 3 letters are an anagram of an Hawaiian flower garland.

9:43 pm

eva, different male name starting with SA

9:43 pm

I just went pro today, may I ask where it will tell you the days theme, that I have heard some mention.

dangit.. zaniac is so a word

9:44 pm

Incidentally, Eva, Sa**** was Hannah's son in the Bible.

9:45 pm

Not the hair chopped off chap, but another who has a book of his own.

I just started using them this past week. I think they're kind of fun.

9:47 pm

TY both!

9:47 pm

Well, I haven't ben theming since the switch. LOL. I'm celebrating a heavy metal band winning the Eurovision Song Contest at the moment.

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

Got them!!!! Thanks everyone. Was just blocked on the other biblical name for a while-kept thinking of the hair guy. Okay, I'm going to be very disciplined and do what I said and quit now.....put the computer down, Eva. Pull the plug. Take your hand off the mouse. You can do it. I know you can.

9:48 pm

9:48 pm

g'night Eva

9:48 pm

bye eva

9:49 pm

I believe many of the good people of Finland were not so happy that this so-called 'Satanic' band were chosen by the majority of their population to represent them... Maybe they are just to buttoned-up t recognise a bit of theatre when they see it?

9:49 pm

Eva - Sorry! I stood on your plug wire. Must've pulled it out! Erm... sorry! LOL.

9:50 pm

some people take things way too seriously at times Jacula :)

9:50 pm

Good night everyone. Thanks for the round of childhood memories. Oh, just one more...did I make him up or does anyone remember a cartoon character named, I think, Gerald McBoing, boing?

9:50 pm

He never spoke, just made noises.

9:50 pm

night Eva :)

9:50 pm

Not me, Eva, but maybe it was past my childhood or parenting time? Or a US thing?

9:51 pm

Gerald McBoinboing is back on TV, too

9:51 pm

doesn't ring a bell here, Eva

9:51 pm

Have a fully charged battery Jac, so it didn't stop me(-:

9:51 pm

There is some kids' cartoon show that has him on.

9:51 pm

Golux-where did you find it?!!!

9:51 pm

I really don't recall. My kids were watching it one day

9:51 pm

Jac, it must be my old eyes, but I cannot find an anagram for "mini ass" in the enable dictionary.I found the other sa7 at once thro familiarity with Hannah's son, but the ass business passes me by (ha ha)

9:52 pm

Bring back 'Stressed Eric', that's what I say! He was hilarious.

9:52 pm

Google it, though, I bet you'll find it

9:52 pm

Thanks again and a final goodnight

9:52 pm

Jacula, sorry if it bugs you, it's just our way of having fun when someone accidentally types in a good word.

10:00 pm

Hi StidMama. Good luck!

10:00 pm

Hiya stid, I've got 28 left

10:00 pm

10:01 pm

10:02 pm

10:02 pm

10:02 pm

10:02 pm

10:02 pm

Go stid go!

10:02 pm

Luwanda, thank you!

10:03 pm

good luck

10:04 pm

Stid, so glad to see you back. How was Seattle? Hard drive fixed? I wouldn't urge you to begin this brute. Help I see you're started. Well no doubt you can pull it off. I'm still sweating over the grid

10:04 pm

I'm probably not going to get 253 words this time, but I did want to stop in and say hello, this time from the east side of the little pond...

10:05 pm

Lovely day today... I am not worried about finishing, but hate to see a grid go by and not try to get some of it!

10:05 pm

Jacula, I'm so sorry if I said something bad or offensive. I totally missed it if I did.

10:05 pm

Stidmama - that'sa the best part of the grid, when you first see it and the words all flood in.

10:05 pm

Anyone for a **** gin fizz?

10:05 pm

Douglas, you in scotland?

10:05 pm

yes, the first part is good. The last half hour... ;-)

Jacula wheryulrntorotlakdat?

10:09 pm

What's the addy, Douglas?

10:09 pm

mi 5/14 that's next to the flaky stones?

10:09 pm

It's been the greatest temptation to affect a silly fake Scottish accent when talking to people...

10:09 pm

douglas, 1:26 today

10:09 pm

Jacuka, I appreciate the wordsmith tip and I've happily chased anagrams for the past 10 minutes to no avail. Bless you for trying to help

10:10 pm

Melonhead - a'min worcestershire.

10:10 pm

I'm at the Hotel Malmaison. The cab driver told me that the building housing the hotel was a brothel once upon a time...

aaehhauw.

10:10 pm

Hetty, love, I've forgotten what the word was now. Remind me, please...

10:11 pm

OOOH watch out, Douglas. Time warps you know

10:11 pm

Douglas - Are you hoping to be haunted, or not? LOL.

10:11 pm

Jac is now singing that old classic from The Rockey Horror Show....

10:12 pm

I'm just sayin' what the cab driver said...I'm not looking for any succubal action if you know what I mean, and I think you do...

10:12 pm

Or even the Rocky Horror Show! Damn it, Janet!

10:13 pm

It's a brute of an sa7. Not Hannah's sonmisspelt, th eother. Wind from Sahara, you said, but I've never been there . Then you said it was an angram of mini ass. Noe of the ones listed in wordsmith are on the grid ss far as I can see

10:13 pm

"olde" isn't in the dictionary?!?

10:14 pm

mi 5/14 that's next to the flaky stones? nrkii, have that one yet?

10:14 pm

Douglas, you've just reminded me of that loively Monty Python sequence of Michael Palin and the succubi. . .

10:14 pm

macrame isn't in the grid...

10:15 pm

Douglas - I think Frankenfurter just got you. LOL.

10:15 pm

i need a clue for ge6/30

10:15 pm

I did try and do the 16 x 16 Sudoku puzzle in The Independent...

10:15 pm

past tense of ge4/7

10:16 pm

That did get me...

10:16 pm

duh

10:16 pm

Hetty - sa + personal pronoun + it's a 'masculines' thing. Hope that works!

10:17 pm

feather, that's a negative

10:17 pm

ok

10:18 pm

Force = **** times acceleration

10:18 pm

nrkii - flakey mineral with an r added before the last letter

10:19 pm

luwanda, darnit, I was just about to hint it cuz I found it!

10:19 pm

clue for ca6/30?

10:19 pm

oops

10:19 pm

I was going to say start of kitchen appliance MI***WAVE, but change last vowel

10:20 pm

good clue

10:20 pm

:)

sl 5/14?

10:20 pm

I'll remember that flaky mineral fondly, as it was the last word I entered the last time I got fireworks

10:20 pm

i've actually had it since i first started at the switch

10:21 pm

put your arm in a sl5/14

10:21 pm

no ca6/30. ce6/30 means surrendering.

10:21 pm

Donald Rumsfeld said the war on terror was going to be a long, tough ****

10:21 pm

And after drinking a **** gin fizz, I'm going to have a Singapore *****

10:21 pm

my mother, the chemist use to have a sample lying around at home when I was little

10:22 pm

douglas - mistake? lol

10:22 pm

jee, thanks!

10:22 pm

Oops! Yes. I gave the ca6/30 clue to you earlier, didn't I, Luw.

10:23 pm

Thanks, Jac, got it at last, tho' I cant say i really understand the "masculine" part, Staring with the oersonal pronoun was the key

tx JeeWhiz - i gotta remember to go counterclockwise once in a while

10:23 pm

yep

10:23 pm

jac, thanks for the ce!

10:23 pm

A mistake? I'm talking about 1 1/2 ounce gin 1/2 ounce Cherry Heering brandy 1/4 ounce Cointreau 1/4 ounce Benedictine 4 ounces pineapple juice 1/2 ounce lime juice 1/3 ounce grenadine dash bitters

10:23 pm

oh, just saw the clue for that ma one, thanks!

10:23 pm

Yes, of the Atomic no. 48, blueish-white element. ca6/30.

10:23 pm

Done! that was a tough one! Happy hunting all... g'night :)

10:23 pm

what's up peeps

10:24 pm

It's one of those drinks that people know about, but probably haven't had...

10:24 pm

yay macuser!

10:24 pm

Douglas, send me two of those for this grid!

10:24 pm

no, the rumsfeld remark

10:24 pm

YAY macuser! 'night!

10:24 pm

hi BGL

10:24 pm

Douglas - given your cocktail recipe, you aren't the Douglas that goes on Roni's yacht, are you?

10:25 pm

hi Stid... can't beleive you're just starting this monster

10:25 pm

Would I want to be? Alas, I am not...

10:25 pm

Dougie - if you know what I am talking about just say, 'yes'. LOL.

10:25 pm

What do **** have to do with St. Louis, anyway?

10:26 pm

I can be dumb as well as addicted! LOL actually, have set a small goal of 100 without list then as many as I can... that way I won't go completely crazy. I hope.

10:26 pm

Pardon?

10:26 pm

American football hint, Jacula...

10:26 pm

Stidmama - I just set out to get as many as I can listless.

10:27 pm

any hints on the ol words?

10:27 pm

I'm already entering in words I've already entered

10:28 pm

Douglas - I have no intereest in UK football since Georgie Best stopped playing, let alone the kind of 'football' played in US. Sorry.

10:28 pm

ol5/12 is a golden *****

10:28 pm

I was expecting oleid to be a word

10:28 pm

Did you get the other 2 OLs?

10:28 pm

Oh dear! Douglas is re-entering.Not grid wortd today, though. LOL.

10:29 pm

Ping, I could use the other two OLs...

10:29 pm

I remember reading some blog posts about Georgie's demise. So self-destructive...

10:29 pm

Douglas - for that ol word, change the last consonant.

10:30 pm

stid, you are always rescuing the rest of us. holy role reversal!

10:30 pm

shared cluing the real heart of babbling... :-)

10:31 pm

Douglas - o + a word that sounds like either thin, or taking the weight off by lolling.

10:31 pm

I got that clue Jacula! now just one more o from the top right... and then 165 more words!

10:32 pm

Stidmama - EXACTLY!

10:32 pm

jetX from hawaii

10:32 pm

Stidmama - plural that last word I gave you.

10:32 pm

Stid two of the ol's are connected. You start ith a Spanish dance cry and add opposite of out, then pluralize.The other is the oposite of a "newie"

10:33 pm

Got it, Jacula, thanks!

10:33 pm

hetty -- TY that was the fish I was missing!

10:33 pm

Other words from that corner are og**, what mean do when women are scantily clad in Summer.

10:34 pm

"I took my buffalo to the store Got his head stuck in the door, Spilled some **** beans on the floor Oh, everybody's got a water buffalo..."

10:34 pm

Past tense of what I said before Douglas started singing.

10:34 pm

oJa slapped me with a frozen fish earlier tpday. Or was that Hurshy? Whoever it was, it hurt and it still leaves an olfactory memory too

10:35 pm

ol5/12 - what teenagers think you are/

10:35 pm

That was from the first Veggie Tales "Silly Song"

10:35 pm

(oh Jac -- that one hurt!) ;-)

10:35 pm

And then the 2 oily words you've all got.

10:36 pm

ge4/6?

10:36 pm

almost done!

10:37 pm

go feather!!!

10:37 pm

Does anybody have a clue for the ol6/18?

10:37 pm

ge4/6 - sets like a jelly.

10:38 pm

ol6/18 - plural of ol5/10.

10:38 pm

Douglas~ What a wealth of knowledge - recipes for drinks and Silly Songs (although none can beat the Cheeseburger song or the Hairbrush Song)

10:38 pm

anyone have either za?

10:38 pm

"Remember when we used to kill and Hello Dolly?"

10:38 pm

what do you need. I don't have many but sometimes have odd ones and miss simple like ge4/6

10:39 pm

10:39 pm

yay 103 words and to the LIST I go!

10:39 pm

wow stid, that was fast!

10:40 pm

I still need the third ma7/44, and the ma7/40. Does anyone have those? Stidmama probably needs those words also...

10:40 pm

i'm impressed

10:40 pm

Douglas, if you arte not the Dougie that is the cocktail master on Roni's yacht, I will be am6/39. Not a grid word but near to one!

10:40 pm

is the ac 5 from the a on the bottom row?

10:41 pm

ma 7/44, compound word, male + yellow metal

10:41 pm

thanks featherbee

10:42 pm

ma 7/40, plural of ma 6/27, and that one is the same as another ma 6/27, with last two letters reversed

10:42 pm

getting through this listless was too hard, so i went to do sudoku instead - still sitting at 85 :(

10:42 pm

Stidmama - yes, it is (the ac word)

10:42 pm

I got the ca doggie...

10:42 pm

hi helen

10:42 pm

thanks again....good clues

10:42 pm
