hurshy!

12:32 am

but I'm stumped on veg...

12:32 am

just uploaded my childhood picture and wanted to see what it looked like.

12:32 am

oh damn - didn't even see that before i made my comment earlier - this is what an excellent massage & xanax produce :)

12:33 am

Yup, it's me

12:33 am

hi mab

judy, you're so cute! what a good idea.

12:33 am

oh, THAT awful veg! bleeaahh!

12:33 am

I get some of my best ideas when I can't sleep

12:34 am

hi everyone

12:34 am

mab - we chose the same icons yesterday !! :)

12:34 am

is it brussels sprouts?

12:34 am

worse, ma!

12:34 am

I sort of love these little composition books.

12:34 am

I mean worse than brussels sprouts, mab

12:35 am

there is nothing worse than brussel's sprouts

12:35 am

me too - found memories :)

12:36 am

liver ... liver is worse than brussels sprouts

12:36 am

i love brussel sprouts -s ome fried up bread crumbs on top - delish

12:36 am

but liver isn't a veg

i like brussell sprouts - boiled with balsamic vinegar.

12:37 am

I actually love brussels sprouts--cute tiny cabbages

12:37 am

liver, kidney, sprouts and celery. all hell on earth!

12:37 am

I LOVE Brussell sprouts. Especially great with blue cheese dressing on them while hot , yum!

12:37 am

i love liver too!!

12:38 am

i dislike all of those things and i'm allergic to celery too.

12:38 am

yay mab!

12:38 am

you're right, mab, liver is not a veg - missed that part of the discussion...sorry

liba, that's what my mom called them - baby cabbages.

12:39 am

hey kiersten and john, are you still on?

12:39 am

lol, melon!

12:39 am

well, judy, I did say sprouts were worse than anything without specifying veg. my mistake really.

12:40 am

will the real nasty veggie please stand up?

12:40 am

luckily there's a nice veg in there to blaance all this talk of sprouts

mab the absolute worst veg is in this grid. even my kids, who eat eggplant willingly, won't get near this.hint: "OK, Ray, they're yucky, but you gotta ea them!"

12:41 am

latest drawing thingy if anyone's interested: http://www.deviantart.com/view/3403676 7/

12:41 am

if you put cheese on them it really enhances the flavor and makes them more paletable for those vegie haters

nice veg? hint? i'm stuck @ 50

12:43 am

thanks atalante. does everyone mean that little old o4 veg?

Atalante - you drew that? good site, too

12:44 am

yup and yup :)

12:44 am

arrrrgh, almost hegemony

12:46 am

morning all! how does this grid fare?

12:46 am

Atalante - beautiful - looks celtic inspired. colored pencil?

12:47 am

12:48 am

acid

12:48 am

acts

12:48 am

well, maybe not for you...

12:48 am

sorry sorry sorry

12:48 am

haha

12:49 am

you should've focussed on the top A for me dippnall

here's a hint: shortened thighbone

12:49 am

thx - got those

12:49 am

fema

12:50 am

nobody's mentioning the long words they find like the old tradition - is that cause nobody's finding any (except the dr7?)

12:50 am

yes, pencil ... I'll be doing a bigger version in gouache at some point!

helen!

12:50 am

goldmine :D

haven't found a long one

12:51 am

there are long words? where???!!

12:51 am

i only found two 6's so far (and that d7)

12:51 am

ed7/44

12:51 am

co6/27

12:51 am

6's are just long enough to be annoying, not long enough to brag about

12:51 am

lol hurshy

12:51 am

that's true for me Hursh, haven't found any more big words yet...

12:52 am

fema is not found-- that's nothing new! :-|

12:52 am

ed7 - that's my missing e!

12:52 am

he8

12:52 am

ed7 ends in ci4/7

12:52 am

well i tried "headcity" but that didn't work

ed 7/44 - a Tennessee Williams word for greed - minus Minnesota.

12:53 am

hurshy used a word :):)

12:53 am

see, i know SOMETHING would end in that!

12:53 am

it doesn't count if it's part of a longer word!

12:53 am

he he :)

12:54 am

helen, still here?

12:54 am

wow hurshy. thanks! i was missing one of those! lol!

12:54 am

yep - still here

12:54 am

yay, got the he8!

12:55 am

12:55 am

hint for the 8?

12:56 am

wait wait i think i got it!!!!

yup!

12:56 am

hmph. they should have "hadme". you hadme at hello

12:57 am

helen, must tell you how xana almost ruined my life, but not in chat -- I had a severe back injury

12:57 am

well, xanax

12:57 am

beautiful, atalante. It feels like it is ready to burst - for all to go the the ways in the poem, ripe. must read that book.

12:58 am

thank you :D you should read the book - its beautiful. sad, but beautiful

12:58 am

I love that site too

12:58 am

ok - willing to listen - actually i' ve been meaning to write to dr-g to see if we could have private chat - like many other game sites

12:58 am

good golly every vowel but the right one so i can't get armada.

12:59 am

and so do I - spend half my days there sometimes!

12:59 am

i keep seeing armada too hurshy

12:59 am

perhaps the plyral should be armadi?

12:59 am

I tried that word too

hurshy are you playing woulda-coulda-shoulda Babble? i want hematocrit.

12:59 am

yeah, i thought it should be armadi

12:59 am

good idea, helen-- could post email addys to certain people

12:59 am

(alternatively, armadi could be a nice suit, if you have a cold)

lol hursh!

1:00 am

(armani, hurshy)

1:00 am

maybe lickety should add most common phantom words to his stats list

1:00 am

oh, i get it.

1:00 am

a cold mab, a cold

1:00 am

it's late

lib - if you want to reach me- i have e-mail at helenkeller@mychi.com - it is not one i check very often, but i will if i know to expect something - i take it because hotflashes have prevented me from getting solid nite's sleep for weeks now

1:01 am

yes, it is

1:02 am

Good night guys and gals getting crosseyed.

1:03 am

night judy, sleep well.

1:03 am

will email you helen-- I now take something effective and non-addictive for sleep, but doesn't help the hots...

i dont use it often at all - too much of a kick

1:04 am

that's why i don't use my donkey often

but i am up every 1/2 hour to 45 minutes, either soaked through sweating or freezing - sigh

hursh - uh, graoannnnn

1:06 am

1:06 am

1:06 am

1:07 am

hurshy :OD

1:07 am

either my fingers or keyboard are going south

1:08 am

see helen, SOME people like me

i was hoping to get to afway - but i'm nodding out @ the keybroad

yeah lib - that's one of the tinghs that keep me from not overdoing it 1. i don't like the groggy feeling 2. it frightens me that it's physically addicitve, if it were nonlypsychologically additive, that might be easier to swallow - but i saw trainspotting (i'm sure it wouldn't be that bad, but still....)

1:08 am

too bad tsoros/tsores isn't here. we have lots of that going around.

1:08 am

30 left here!

i spell it tsouris

1:09 am

well, I loved the blessed relief from back spasms

1:09 am

ppl might like to be aware there is an oo6/27

1:10 am

I took it for 15 years by prescription

omg - that's a really long time !!!

i've been taking vicodin for hip pain & it's really hard to quit that!

1:11 am

now what on earth else can come from that o that can't come from any other o???

1:11 am

yep, I decide to stop taking it and ended up in he hospital

1:12 am

oh, dear, those docs are pushers! vicodin!

hey vicodin is good stuff- keep you pain free plus alert & happy, also lots of energy to do stuff

1:13 am

brett farve was addicted to vicodin

why is this O different from all other Os?

1:13 am

whoa, i AM sleepy, favre

1:13 am

yes, helen, but they're for life...

1:13 am

cause it's at the bottom, melon. check out my profile for the guide to boxes.

i'm a chronic pain person too. vicodin makes me functional. if you're taking it for a temporary condition, the doctor should give you a taper regimen.

1:14 am

I don't mean to preach, helen, but I got screwed by that stuff

joke, hurshy. the 4 questions of passover: why is this night....

1:14 am

i really thought we had oroid before, what am i mixing it up with?

it's hard to quit altogether - one of the reasons is that my tolerance is high now, so for ex. i currently have tendonitis in my elbow, when it get really bad 9usually from sleeping on it) & the celbrex doesn't cut it, i just go to the vicodin, because the other stuff - otc - just doesn't work anymore

1:15 am

hehehe, oops :)

1:15 am

hurshy...add a letter (if you didn't get it already)

1:15 am

oh, see, i'm not jewish so i didn't know about passover questions

1:16 am

i did kristin, hence the hehehe, oops

i'm stuck on the oo

1:16 am

we posted at the same time...I'm still working on that other o too

1:16 am

I have seroquel now for sleep, and only buffered aspirin for pain

1:16 am

and why did i really think astic was a word?

ahhhh, i gotta watch out for those inside jokes. thanks to sitcoms, tho, everyone seems to know what a bar mitzvh is.

1:18 am

it's ok melon i'm always making star trek references that people don't get

gottagotta go. holiday coming up. i need to clean cook, enroll for a night course, laundry, etc....i'll be off the air thurs, fri, sat.

1:18 am

you'll I do understand, helen, just don't want anyone else to go thru what I did--you probably have a better doc

1:18 am

i am starting to think these long words are going to be very very odd.

1:19 am

either that or so obvious we cant see them

i dont know - she tends to give me whatever i ask for

1:22 am

My doc did too--kept me quiet

1:23 am

but, please enjoy your relaxation tonight, and the massage

1:24 am

2:07 am

or perhaps a sodapop addict

2:08 am

TY Hurshy

2:11 am

(and amusingly the last four letters are another way to spell a game which is a lot like horseshoes, and since the cast of SNL went on about da bears, if they were a fan of quoit, they may have sat around saying this word.)

3:05 am

glad that isn't a word :)

Morning Atalante!

3:05 am

the grid seems to be a bit of though one today

3:07 am

I just started so I can't quite tell how it is - yet.

3:08 am

I think often the smaller the puzzle the more difficult the words. About half way and things bog down.

3:08 am

That's fantastic Atalante! Did you colour it with colouring pencils?

3:09 am

Atalante, another lovely piece, as soon as I looked at it I thought Watership Down and then scrolled down to see the lext.

3:10 am

ty :) yes, its pencil. but I'll probably do a bigger gouache version at some point

3:11 am

I wish I could use colouring pencils that well... I'm best just sticking to my markers.

Very nice Atalante!

3:12 am

Hmm why are my tile stats not registering when I've entered a word?

3:12 am

I wish I could use markers well!!

3:13 am

Try refreshing F5 HelenC Babble hic-ups occasionally

3:13 am

Thnx - better now

the r's are a miracle!! I know every single one and what they mean !! and there aren't a zillion of them!!

3:17 am

I can't believe there are 30 c's to be found in there somewhere.

the co8 is druggie compound

3:23 am

any more of a clue to that one? mr. pres?

3:24 am

co 4/9 + he 4/6

3:24 am

3:31 am

It's not very friendly, at least to me

3:31 am

Morning Haz, Im finding it a bit sticky but I feel out of practice.

3:33 am

3:36 am

Hi Serenity

co5 - induced sleep + vowel

3:39 am

you need to ask dr_god that... I don't think you can delete an account, just don't use it anymore and continue on the new account

3:40 am

Hi sprite good to see you, did you find all the k's?

5:42 am

I did! First thing I did, wanted to have them out of the way.

5:43 am

Thought of you when I saw them. Also since ExWren went on hols there has been a distinct lack of re's.

Isn’t sa5/16 one of the guys of LOST?

5:43 am

It should be possible to play puzzles you missed, like with sudoku. ExWren would have a blast :)

5:45 am

Hmmm, Now there's a thought!!!

5:45 am

Hi all - can't access Lickety so can some-one pls tell me what I am missing in the Gs - have the fool and the butter. Also missing 2 Ks - have the one from Get Smart - TY

5:46 am

I have G4/7 the fool with another last letter.

5:46 am

you're missing how they told the horse to hurry up

5:47 am

Ks are 4/9, 4/9 and 4/8.

5:47 am

could i have the 2nd ac4/6 clue please?

5:48 am

claire: highest point

5:48 am

ac4/6 - add yourself

5:49 am

thanks

lynxx, why can't you access lickety?? has something gone wrong??

5:53 am

Any hints for the ed7/44 please.

5:55 am

ed7/44 - add a vowel and one of which London and New York are examples.

I guess not! thank lynxxx

5:56 am

probably firewall at work or somethink like that MrP. Thanks Haz

5:56 am

likety is fine at mine - strange

5:57 am

You're welcome FMItch.

5:57 am

that is definately today's new word, had not come across it before.

5:58 am

Isn't it usually spelled Au? Of is it an entirely different word?

5:58 am

No, I hadn't heard of it either. Au indicates daring, this is one indicating greed

5:59 am

sprite - thats thats what I just pondered on - whilst trying to remember how it was spelt hehe

6:00 am

Hehe, close but no cigar. Every babble grid that teaches me a new word is a good one ;)

6:00 am

Mr P...the eMac we use at home is dying - and Lic's page is blank. and hen compounded with unresolved issue with no access to ChatBox, it is all v challenging but good for the brain. Off work today so couldn't print out Ls list to bring home.

6:01 am

missing ac4/5?

lynxxx... good luck sorting it all out!! glad you are still with us!

6:01 am

The one that does things is the one that Ac4/5

6:01 am

ac4/5 is what a stage-struck person does

6:02 am

got it ta

6:06 am

Why is 'itsy' not a word? I am positive it's used in songs. Like polkadot bikini.

and spider

6:07 am

Put a d in front of it sprite and it is acceptable.

6:07 am

lol, thanks

6:09 am

Time to go and walk the dog. Happy hunting all!

bye

6:10 am

By Haz, enjoy.

6:10 am

Says the dog to his friends: time to walk my boss, cu!

6:11 am

LOL

6:13 am

right having issues with ad's now :-(

6:13 am

6:13 am

You have the deft one?

6:14 am

that's ad6/21.

6:14 am

6:17 am

6:18 am

6:18 am

6:19 am

Good Morning Babbers

6:19 am

6:20 am

6:20 am

dame

6:20 am

good start :-)

6:20 am

oops

6:23 am

CJ: ad4/5 - 5/12 make changes in text, change first letter.

6:23 am

good morning everyone!

6:24 am

Hey Eva

6:24 am

ar6/24?

6:25 am

Greetings all..

6:26 am

hi Aloyisius

Hi Eva & Aloyisius

6:27 am

hi serenity & alysius & sprite

6:27 am

sprite - Ive just wroked out your clue - so slow today - bit lethargic :-(

6:27 am

is the ca7/8 a compound with the dessert thing?

6:29 am

ca 7/36 - secret group.. ca 8/50, the plural

6:30 am

Hi Eva, unfortunately not. but it does end in the o4/4

6:30 am

thanks cehess-don't know yet what it is, but will go searching

6:30 am

Today I vow to watch the cursor position; and I thought of a word for when you press enter and put a word on the chat log - how about BLAT? Well, I blatted three times in one day, and it made me shy ..

6:31 am

good luck ^^ I found it by accident

6:32 am

all I can think of is cabal(-:, or in camera

6:33 am

LOL Aloy, I have been doing the same thing today and been so careful so far.... famous last words!

6:33 am

Eva - take that 1st 3 letters of the last word you typed just now and find the o4/4 and add that to the end for the 7.

6:34 am

kind of sounds like camera, Eva

6:34 am

We all try not to and we all do on occasion. So I keep saying it's the setup of the site that is to blame, not us!

6:35 am

BLAT... heehee

6:36 am

or BLOCC - Babble Loss of Cursor Control

6:36 am

lol!

6:37 am

Eva - the ca7/36 & 8/50 not only sound like a camera but also more like a type of Chevrolet.

6:37 am

not seeing it. th oa4 I have is the oven. is that the wrong one?

6:38 am

it's the or4

6:39 am

What you shoot with a bow, lose last letter, spell backwards: that is the O4.

6:39 am

got it! Thanks everyone for the great group help!!

6:40 am

I think BLATS should cover it: Bleassssssssse Adept The Site!

6:40 am

*adapt

6:40 am

Merp just walked across my chest twice and is sitting on the floor whining. Should I feed him or make him wait?

6:40 am

Feed him. NOW!

6:41 am

okay-if you can just help me out with the ar6/24 you can stop this poor, malnourished (15 lbs!) cat from pining away

6:42 am

Don't have that one yet. So take a break, stop mistreating your poor little kitty and come back fresh ;)

6:42 am

Eva - they are bullying you

6:43 am

I hate cats clawing

6:43 am

mep definitely is

6:43 am

that's one heck of a cat to have strolling across you

6:43 am

go feed the belover MErp and by the time you get back we will have a clue for you. I have the word but haven't worked out a clue yet.

6:44 am

sometimes wake up thinking I'm having a heart attack or something because I can't breath ....and then see the furry face looming above me

6:44 am

So you are prepared, it is one of those stupidhead words again.

6:44 am

okay-back soon

6:44 am

lol!

6:44 am

hi everyone!

6:44 am

57 words Ive got now - annoying

6:45 am

hi lisalou

6:45 am

Its an alt sp to a word dating back to Shakespeare

6:46 am

Down to 47 but no speed left. Brick wall coming up very soon.

6:46 am

Def is - Used in the imperative to express an order of dismissal

6:46 am

That doesn't narrow it down much, FMitch, now does it? Almost all words do date back up till then :)_

6:46 am

good evening everybpdy

6:47 am

Where's Haz whenyou need her, she would be able to clue this Im sure!!

6:47 am

6:48 am

ok sorry

I'm stuck with the last ca4/6 . any clues?

6:48 am

i feel bad now

6:48 am

ar6 & 7 sound like rubbing oil in, in a ritualistic fashion. Or... what you do when you hire someone for a position.

6:49 am

lol aleksia, don't. It's afternoon here.

6:49 am

ok

6:49 am

in adelaide

6:49 am

aleksia, just joking kiddo. I am not a morning person, but make myself start the day with babble.

6:50 am

Serenity, is that they c4, they saw, they conquered?

6:50 am

oh thats a good one Jac - yes, how a Japanese person would pronounce the word to rub on holy oil.

6:50 am

6:50 am

Guten nachmittag, everyone!!!!!!!

6:51 am

Bonne afternoon, movieman!

6:51 am

HI Movieman..

6:52 am

So, anyone care to venture a guess?

6:52 am

For what?

good afternoon movieman

6:53 am

Huh, MM?

6:53 am

The identity of the birthday boy of course!!!!!

6:53 am

6:54 am

Correct, FMitch....the Man With No Name is 76 today....

6:54 am

okay-the beast is pilled, brushed and fed. Where's my reward Sprite?

6:54 am

Good Morning Babblers :)

6:54 am

Jacula I beat you :)

6:55 am

Don't you hear him purring Eva? Jac and FMitch had the perfect clue together: "oh thats a good one Jac - yes, how a Japanese person would pronounce the word to rub on holy oil."

6:55 am

looked back at the log Xrptie and believe it or not, having acted in Romeo and Juliet 40+ years ago, I remember the word-speeled with an i instead of a y, but still. Thanks!!

6:56 am

Faerie - you did, by a whisker!

6:56 am

That was Sprite-not Xrptie(wow, how'd I get that one?)

6:56 am

LOL now kidding :)

6:57 am

Now that's an interesting nick :) Sprite aka Xrptie

6:57 am

Nice Nuts Jacs :)

6:57 am

Your finger slipped and hit the key below the 'S', Eva. (Or Merp typed it!) LOL

6:57 am

good morning all!!!!!!!!

6:57 am

{{{Shorty}}}

6:57 am

Why thank you, Faerie. You have nice nuts, too.;-)

6:58 am

{{{faerie}}}

6:58 am

{{{faerie}}}

6:58 am

Hi faerie, lets hpe that no too many male babblers follow the theme today cos we can't really greeet them with the phrase you just used LOL

6:58 am

Oh and Shorty's nuts look good also. LOL

6:58 am

LOL! Is it 'nut-day'? I better not change my icon then :D

6:58 am

LOL why thank you

6:58 am

ROFL FMich :P

6:59 am

Sprite you look great :)

6:59 am

FMitch - I was just thinking something along those lines... ROFLOL

6:59 am

LOLFMitch

6:59 am

morning

6:59 am

Hi all you nuts! How's it look today?

7:00 am

Let's also hope that no one decides to display such an icon. (Does Babble allow 'that kind' of pic? I've never tried to post one.)

7:00 am

{{{Angel}}} Good Morning :)

7:00 am

now now ladies

7:00 am

Yeah, great and still decent. Wouldn't vouch for that if I went following the theme today.

7:00 am

Oh Jacs I can't imagine anyone would but then you just never know about some people.

7:01 am

Why do I suddenly think of Capone ;)

7:01 am

FMitch - snap!

7:02 am

sorry to break into this nuts reverie, but any clues for the co8?

7:03 am

When I found out today's theme was nuts, I was contemplating using a pic of Michael Jackson.....LOL

7:03 am

Anyhoo back to the grid - 13 left to go.

7:03 am

Or John Prescott MM croquet any1

7:03 am

Clint today, MM? How old is he then?

7:04 am

cork

7:04 am

cola addiction about the neck Eval clue from MrP much earlier today.

7:04 am

co8/75 - drug addicr.

7:04 am

sorry!

7:04 am

*addict

7:04 am

He's 76 today, Amanda......

7:04 am

oh - not sorry - don't know where I typed that one...

7:05 am

oh, yes sorry. Haven't had my coffee yet.

7:05 am

LOL, Amanadacath.

7:06 am

since the new version came on I can't go back to earlier posts-just the ones I can scroll here

7:06 am

View entire chat log doesn't work for you? The button I mean?

7:06 am

Or I could have used a poster or still from "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".....LOL.....

7:06 am

27 words left to find, but they're slower being found now. Think I'll go and continue painting the shed with green preserver while the weather's dry. BBL.

7:07 am

that would have been perfect Movieman

7:07 am

no-it takes forever, even when it works-I mean 5-10 minutes to load, but most of the time just stalls out and I have to force quite and reboot. Not worth it. Have raised it with Jamie, but he can't come up with a solution

7:07 am

thats a pain Eva. I will type the clue again using the correct words this time co8 - 2 words think - cola habit above the neck c4 + h4

7:07 am

Probably because I have dial up service. No other choices out here in the boonies

7:07 am

That's not nice, Eva :( Ok guys, refresh to see my nuts.

7:08 am

or Barbra Streisand, MM

7:08 am

anyway-the first 4 letters of the co8 are obvious, can someone give me the first letter of the second syllable please?

7:08 am

top part of the body, Eva.

7:08 am

I have on G to find any clues

7:08 am

DUH!!! Thanks

7:10 am

We have 2 8-words that link together.

7:10 am

why is Korma not in the clue, great indian dish

7:11 am

duh i ment grid

7:11 am

Just changed icon......refresh people!!!!!

7:11 am

Ah, our not nutty clint :) Do you like my nuts?

7:12 am

It's more leafy than nutty, Sprite.....

7:13 am

That's for decency's sake :)

7:13 am

Oh sprite LOL

7:13 am

what's the other 8, sprite? AHA! now I get your icon - couldn't figure out what kind of leaf it was!

7:14 am

I've chosen a VERY apt movie icon.....LOL

7:15 am

Hihi. The other 8 starts with the same body part, amanda. Farthest above the neck.

7:15 am

movie-is that Jackie Gleason?

7:15 am

movieman what was the last film you saw?

7:15 am

It's not the nutty professor.

7:15 am

can't see very well...

7:15 am

Eva - no, it's Randle Patrick MacMurphy.....

7:15 am

Jack Nicholson

7:16 am

oh Ithought it was what I said - looks like him

7:16 am

good idea movieman!

7:16 am

who is Randle Patrick MacMurphy when he's at home?

7:17 am

Thx, found it. Any more biggies? And how many words in all?

7:17 am

CJ - The last movie I saw was M:I 3......

7:17 am

from the film once flew over the cuckoo's nest

7:17 am

3x8, 6 x 7 and 153 total.

7:17 am

one flew over, i mean

7:17 am

Eva - it's Jack Nicholson's character in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"......

7:17 am

I didnt like the 2nd film so didnt bother with the 3rd one - it wasnt meant to be good.

7:18 am

Ah

7:18 am

I'm so sorry MM - I hope you went on cheap night!

7:18 am

Personally, CJ, Ithought the 3rd one was the best of the lot.....

7:19 am

missing 3 co's still-sighhhhhhhh

7:19 am

Think I'm going to take a meditation break and come back enlightened(-:

7:19 am

Eva, do you have the 'manifacture together' ones?

7:19 am

Some friends of mine are seeing XMen3 which I also havent seen

Sorry is almost in there too.

7:20 am

7:24 am

movieman: secret organisations, Ca8, plural of Ca7.

7:25 am

7:25 am

7:25 am

7:25 am

yay sprite! hi temple owl

7:25 am

hi temple owl

7:25 am

Hi Temple Owl :)

7:25 am

ah Sprite I'll probably kick myself when I find out what it is, but I don't know what you mean from that clue.

7:25 am

hi TO!

7:26 am

Mornin' TO - thx, Sprite for that 8!

i see we're getting abreak today - only 153! : D

7:26 am

yep I decided I might actually attempt this one.

7:26 am

Hi TO and musicmom and everyone that's just come in.

7:26 am

It is not a very common word, Miss ABS, so no kicking yourself. Ca + consonant + Or4/4

nice one sprite : )

7:27 am

My name's in the grid!

7:27 am

ah Ta Sprite :D

7:27 am

One of them, anyway...

7:28 am

Def. for the ca7...."a secret society in Naples notorious for violence and blackmail".......

7:30 am

thanks Movieman - that helped!

7:30 am

thanks mm!

7:30 am

and now I have an or 4 too

7:30 am

movieman was tha clue for the Ca with the double letters?

7:31 am

yw, mm & lisa.....

7:31 am

CJ - yep!!!!!! And plural for the 8.....

7:31 am

Think I'm just about at wits end... I've got 93 words, with 60 left to go.

7:32 am

Go Miss ABS --- YOu can do it!

7:33 am

Aww thanks musicmom.

7:33 am

It's just getting late here and I've got to get up early to go teach in the morning. Besides the kids in my class will pout if I get everything without letting them play!

7:34 am

They actually blocked babble for two days and I thought the kids would blow up! They were hysterical cause they couldn't do the puzzles during their "spare time" moments. I had to talk to the system admin person and tell her that the kids were going to go into cardiac arrest if she didn't put it back on the cleared list! LOL

7:34 am

There's a shark in the grid!!!!! There's a shark in the grid!!!!!

7:35 am

LOL Miss ABS --- what age are the students? My 12 year old plays with me sometimes.

7:35 am

Miss ABS why did they block it?

7:35 am

Initially it came up as a "games" website... and of course everyone knows that school couldn't possibly be fun so no one should be playing games. :p

7:35 am

Clue us in so we can get out of it's way, MovieMan!

7:35 am

schools!

7:35 am

She'll be sitting in my chair and say 'I see a word. Can I type it?"

7:35 am

I teach year 6 and 7 (grade 6 and 7) so they're from 10 - 13ish

7:36 am

oh I've got kids that turn up 20 minutes early for school just so they can babble. Kids from other classes even come into my room to play. It's cute.

7:36 am

amanda - it's an ma4.....plural for a 5.....

7:36 am

I feel really comfortable having her play this one because the chat log is clean (mostly<G>) and it challenges her reasoning and language skills

7:36 am

Yay, got it - thx, movie!

7:36 am

It's also a brand of sunglasses movieman! And of course, the logo is a... you guessed it SHARK!

7:36 am

Good Morning.

7:36 am

Morning BGL

7:37 am

hi, BGL

7:37 am

hi bgl

7:37 am

Yeah it's excellent. My kids were cracking me up one day because there was a "dirty word" in the grid and someone said it in chat and they came to me all up in arms and said "Miss S, we didn't put it but someone else did and it's a swear! A bad swear, but we didn't do it!" They were so paranoid.

7:37 am

Hey BGL -- how's that new kitty

7:38 am

AnnieBrook you're not from CO are you?

is that shark ma4/6 or 4/9?

7:38 am

ma4/9, franny......

7:38 am

4/9

tx

7:39 am

If you teachers out there would like some good games for kids, take a look at http://www.kaser.com/index.html - less word games than logicals, but I love them

7:39 am

She's really cute, still adjusting. We had a standoff yesterday with all three in different corners just staring at each other. (and hissing occasionally)

7:39 am

Miss ABS, no, Im from Brooklyn, NY. Hence, my name. the 3 7's is my poker name. never changed it for babble so it stuck.

7:39 am

LOL Miss ABS

7:39 am

ooo thanks Amandacath, will check that out

7:39 am

BGL - Has Dexter had a melt down yet?

7:40 am

Hi BGL

7:40 am

Ah okay, I just went to University with an Amanda Brook in CO so I had to ask. That would have been entirely random if you were the same person.

7:40 am

No, but he's trying to figure out what's going on. I think eventually he and Maia will be friends... Niles is the wildcard

7:40 am

Anyway all I'm off for tonight. Tomorrow morning will come entirely too early. Take care everyone and I'll see you tomorrow sometime. Happy babbling!

7:41 am

Oh that's right. Hannah thought the name was funny

7:41 am

Good night all.

7:41 am

Good night Miss ABS

night miss abs

7:41 am

Love your icon BTW BGL

7:41 am

bye, miss abs. your kids sound wonderful. keep up the good job.

7:41 am

Thanks, it took me forever to find that one

7:42 am

you know --- it is really funny how your icons are predictable. I knew what you would have for Soap Operas too

7:42 am

BRB

7:42 am

BRB

7:42 am

BRB

7:42 am

Ive got 69 now - would like to get it to 70 for obvious reasons hehe

7:42 am

mm - but did you think I would go with "Cuckoo's Nest" for today?

7:43 am

My a/c isn't working in my office. Don't know how long I'll be on here. I may have to go over to the "big" church and actually do work there.

7:43 am

Music Mom just thinks she knows all about me...

7:43 am

my office a/c isn't wokring either. i feel like i'm being smothered

7:44 am

I wish we had had a spring!

7:44 am

There's a nest of starlings making rather a racket outside my house right now.....

7:44 am

me too!

7:44 am

Last week at this time we were bundled up in sweatshirts and jackets

7:44 am

I love american spellings!

7:44 am

stupid thomas guy- make him fix it

anyone have the other eights - besides the ca?

7:45 am

MM-the starlings will attack you if you get near the nest so be careful.

7:45 am

lol bluephlox. it's feast or famine here, as usual!

7:45 am

CJ - ummm, american spellings like....?

7:45 am

Down to the last word - the 2nd mo5/12 can anyone help with a clue?

7:45 am

i'm shocked! you should go yell at the S.N. you know what that stands for!

7:45 am

Od4 a smell

7:47 am

CJ - is the smell spelled differently in the UK?

7:47 am

Fmitch: do you have the short version for the day after today? That's the only one I have right now..

7:47 am

8:00 am

LOLmusicmom and BGL

8:01 am

BGL - I just figured out your nut....its a buckeye :)

8:01 am

my father just came back from a trip to italy, and my persoanl favorite picture was of the 7 pound jar of mutella he saw at a convenience store...

8:01 am

What DIDN'T she do now

8:01 am

SEVEN POUNDS!!

8:01 am

Same old same old --- I don't know why she thinks she can tell me she cleaned the cat litter (when she hasn't) and not get caught

8:01 am

finished nutella yet?

8:02 am

What is nuttella (at the risk of sounding very out of it)?

8:02 am

7 LBS?????? Wow that's a lotta nuts

8:02 am

YUMMY BGL

8:02 am

it isn't so much the lack of cleaning but the lying

8:02 am

Okay, what do you do with nutella?

8:02 am

chocolate hazlenut creamy goodness

8:02 am

eat it

8:02 am

spread it on stuff

8:02 am

8:02 am

8:03 am

icecream

8:03 am

spoons

8:03 am

(gasp) Atalante!

8:03 am

sandwiches! bananas! bagels! toasted nutella sandwiches!

8:03 am

it's what many Euros eat instead of peanut butter

8:03 am

OK, I get the picture... trying to remove Atalante's visual in my mind...

8:04 am

Kroger's has it BGL

8:04 am

Oh wait --- you don't have Krogers

8:04 am

atalante... shaped like a .... hey, this is a family show here!

8:04 am

WE don't have Kroger's, remember?

8:04 am

nutella banana pancakes? yum!

8:04 am

Im getting fed up - I thought I typed in some words before and I obviously hadnt - so its a bit annoying :(

8:04 am

Yeah I remembered ---see?

8:05 am

i hate it when that happens, cj25

8:05 am

yes, we can get it here, too --hannaford, price chopper, etc. but I think the pic of a SEVEN POUND jar (did I mention that part) was what had me going

8:05 am

the trick is to mash up the 'nanas, and mix them into the batter....

8:05 am

mmmmm

8:05 am

I just can't imagine being able to eat it fast enough to have 7 lbs of it. It is very rich

8:06 am

hmpff... well I have 80 words now - less than half to go!

8:06 am

me too neither.

8:06 am

but i'd like to try someday

8:06 am

those huge jars are just incredible. I've seen some somewhere. Not in the UK

8:06 am

we used to eat it right out of the jar when I was in college. I'd eat until I felt sick

8:07 am

also, it's very good with slices of peach or pear

8:07 am

mmmmmm

8:07 am

stick at it CJ!! you are getting there.

8:07 am

i think milky way tried to come out with an analogous product a couple of years ago. but it fell woefully short

8:07 am

FMitch - I never get there that is the problem :-(

8:08 am

nutella and toblerone fondue is the best thing ever

8:08 am

milky way will be so sickly

8:08 am

Only two t words today --- very interesting

8:08 am

yeah, and the consistency was all off

8:08 am

Just to spoil the fun, I *think* those huge nutella jars are just an advertising thing - but I may be wrong... and there is a milky way version of it here in Germany, jbp

8:08 am

Atalante~ I just went into sugar shock thinking about your fondue

8:09 am

any last clues before I go?

8:09 am

LOL not surprised! it *is* amazing though. for all the 5 mouthfuls you can eat

8:09 am

ooooooo ata --- yeeeeeeaaaahhhhh

8:09 am

milkyway if I remember - very sticky?

8:09 am

nutella and toblerone fondue? oh my goodness! do you melt them with heavy cream?

8:09 am

Okay, need to go to Bible study (and actually do some work). Be back this evening...

8:09 am

8:10 am

after this food orgy, you're going to do bible study? ;-=)

8:10 am

Bye BGL --- have a good day

8:10 am

I'm trying to remember. Its something awful like nutella, cream, toblerone and a splash of brandy or some other alcohol. and eat with cake / biscuits if you're mad, or with fruit if you're not mad

8:10 am

for so few words, this is a kinda hard grid...

8:10 am

See ya later...

8:11 am

ATa that sounds fabulous

8:11 am

or if you dont have nutella, mars bar and toblerone works pretty much the same

8:12 am

9:27 am

Thx, aloy - shoulda seen that one, Macbeth shouted it at me last year...

9:27 am

well hursh, out with it then

9:27 am

my lad did very well on his SATs :)

9:28 am

9:28 am

*applaud* hurshy's lad

9:28 am

congrats to hurshy and lad!!!!!

9:28 am

COOL beans, hurshy

9:29 am

lol jbp, i thought my sister was the only one who says "cool beans"

9:29 am

ad6/21 anybody pls?

9:29 am

how do you know I'm not your sister? have you ever seen us together ?

9:30 am

ad6/21 = dexterous

9:30 am

ad 6/21 - skillful, agile, something along those lines

9:30 am

ad 6/21...french for "right"

9:30 am

very adept skillful able

9:30 am

thankyou

9:30 am

well jbp, she adamantly refuses to babble, and she's not really the lying type

9:30 am

i'm missing a ca4/6, either the 1st or 2nd...

9:31 am

oh, alright, i'm not she, then, hursh...

9:31 am

same but for last vowel jbp

9:31 am

i have the one that rhrymes with what happens when i give you money

9:32 am

cumpupanddown?

9:32 am

ah, thanks, hursh, that clue DID help

9:32 am

no that's cu... hmmm

9:32 am

lol

9:32 am

first ar12 pls?

9:33 am

frankly, i am upset that dorocodor isn't in the list, because it uses all the ohs and is fun to say.

9:33 am

fervence

9:33 am

if that's a word

9:33 am

passion, love, clairemcg

9:33 am

ar + sounds like the thing you enter thru

9:33 am

bonkler, ummm, duly noted. and it means...?

9:34 am

well bonkler i was thinking we could put the two smell words together for a really powerful smell and that would use them all too

9:34 am

like a smelly thing for cigars?

9:34 am

thankyou got it now!

9:35 am

means? i'm quite sure many of these words are bereft of meaning. they exist to frustrate.

9:35 am

Yummy, crunchy theme today!

9:35 am

oh and jbp, my phone rang so i was distracted - but the word you were looking for is "fervor"

9:36 am

...but fervence works just as well. Dorocodor is a dinosaur in my book!

9:37 am

hiya everyone!!

9:37 am

hiya bex :)

9:37 am

Hi bex! You've got a new icon!

9:38 am

hi bex

9:38 am

Dorocodor is a device spies use to break into doors with coded keypads. Very top-secret.

9:38 am

gotta fly, happy babbling

9:39 am

edamocity - state of cheesiness (I'm still working on that ed7/44, as you can see...)

9:41 am

rycaut - Avaunt, thou villainous rogue!

9:41 am

so topsecret Jen, that it's not widely known ;-)

9:41 am

I'd tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you . . .

9:42 am

:o)

9:42 am

it sounds like what you do with fragrant oils to consecrate something, rycaut...

9:42 am

ar + yiddish exclamation + 2 consonants

9:43 am

refresh for my nut if you wish

9:43 am

got it but that is just a silly looking word. :)

9:44 am

thanks jbp

9:44 am

Mornin' all, Love that Nutella!!!! Yummy

9:46 am

9:46 am

I've still got 4 nuts for hursh - refreshing takes too long...

9:46 am

Hi MM -- must be Jack's birthday. He was the perfect McMurphy - no one else could have played it as well.

9:47 am

Hey everyone :)

9:47 am

Hi Tiger!

9:47 am

amandacath, try clicking on hurshy's icon

9:47 am

Ch - no it's not his birthday, I just chose "Cuckoo's Nest" 'cos today's theme is nuts.....LOL

9:48 am

AH (smacks forehead) of course!

9:48 am

tried, harp - sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't ... haven't quite figured that out yet

9:49 am

that was a good movie, not the best. it was a disappointment for those who had read the book

9:49 am

it was also a disappointment for Ken Kesey who sold the rights for $10 or something like that.

9:50 am

True, harpjane. I took a class in college comparing film and lit, and that's one of the books/movies we studied.

9:50 am

You have to admit though, harpjane, it did begin quite a few people's movie careers.....

9:50 am

im stuck on ac4,5

9:50 am

Like Christopher Lloyd, Danny DeVito.....

9:50 am

Wow, didn't know that about Kesey. Do remember visiting San Francisco and standing on the spot where his cottage was.

9:50 am

tiny, is it in your car battery?

9:50 am

Tiny - what a thespian does

9:51 am

Tiny, the people MM and harp and i are talking about do this..

9:51 am

clues for the g words?

9:51 am

That's too bad about Kesey, didn't know that either. I thought it was a fantastic movie

9:51 am

got those two cant get last one

9:51 am

computer g***

9:52 am

how about a clue for the co8/75?

9:52 am

g*** --Indian butter

9:52 am

tiny, do you mean at the height or pinnacle of it?

9:52 am

co 8- someone who snorts a lot of blow

9:52 am

jpb - a slang term for a drug addict......

9:52 am

co8/75 uber drug sniffer

9:53 am

omg, thanks able, mm, and Une

9:53 am

thanks got them three now

9:53 am

K words?

9:54 am

Ka4/9 is the only one I have

9:54 am

harp, one sounds like a short name for Katherine and one like a ca 4

9:55 am

i'm stuck on the co words... co 6/36?

9:56 am

when you create something with a partner, you co6/36 it

9:56 am

one k is a hawaiian acacia - short for australian bears?

9:57 am

a the present tense of the co 6/27 before

9:57 am

good clue, amanda

9:57 am

so how's about the co5/14 in between them?

9:57 am

how 'bout the da7's?

9:57 am

Plural of the Co4/6 before it

9:57 am

when you are unconcious due to an accident

9:58 am

jbp - plural of the co4/6......

9:58 am

thx tigereye, just found it.

9:58 am

9:58 am

10:01 am

10:10 am

Definition of "ska" from Dictionary.com - " Popular music originating in Jamaica in the 1960s, having elements of rhythm and blues, jazz, and calypso and marked by a fast tempo and a strongly accented offbeat."

10:10 am

Waitaminute.....only for the 14-day free trial....or not?

10:10 am

Good morning one and all,happy last day of May and nutty day. I've plunged in half an hour ago, Stid, andso far unlisted have reached 55 words. From now on it will be tougher I know

10:10 am

well, when you finish CJ, let us know if you can't see fireworks, and we'll give you some the old-fashioned way. (what we did until a couple weeks ago)

10:11 am

Hetty - hiya!!!!!!

10:11 am

Hi Hetty!

10:11 am

Amanda da6 = da + word that sounds like a game where flat rings are pitched at a stake (usually spelt with a qu)

10:11 am

dive away Stid...IM is up btw

10:12 am

Good morning, Miss Hetty. I'm not being very chatty this morning as I have limited time before leaving for work.

10:13 am

maybe i only see fireworks because I'm new and in 14 days? they'll be gone

10:14 am

Oh how nice to be called that again, dear ch1212. You've made a lasting impression with that salutation--much more acceptabel than my husband's

He is the Lord Master of Iron Sudoku :)

10:17 am

10:17 am

hey nut! welcome to nut day!

10:17 am

Hello evanonut -- I like your icon :)

10:18 am

thanks ch - since it's nut day, i thought i'd do a self portrait

10:18 am

Thanks, Haz - am slowly losing the patience to figure things out on my own...

10:18 am

72 - perfect day for pecan pie???

10:18 am

evanout, your icon looks like what my eyes feel liike after forty minutes of gridding

nut - you KNOW i'm dieting....

10:19 am

10:19 am

72 - i took out ALL the calories, i swear

10:20 am

10:21 am

hooray for fairie!!

10:21 am

Congrats, Faeriekai, you done good

10:21 am

There is no da8, TO - Mitch clued the 6-7-7 combo just now...

10:21 am

Yay Faerie!

10:22 am

a question, FK -- someone in Ontario was talking about having trouble growing roses. You live closer to their climate than I do -- are they in the place where you have to really pamper roses to make them healthy?

10:22 am

cy words, besides the cy4 that's lumpy

ty *dives back into log*

10:23 am

Stid - My roses do really well..I have all kinds of roses

10:23 am

stid - where you is? i just chuck em in the ground and cut when it freezes

10:23 am

and Thank you everyone :)

10:23 am

nice nuts faerie

10:23 am

I live at the south end of Puget Sound, very mild climate, more like mid-coast California because we are only a short distance from the water.

10:24 am

i'm middle-ish pa - my rose is easy

10:24 am

and i got the cy 4/8 that ends like stid

10:24 am

Stid - I don't cut my roses back until spring.

10:24 am

hi all - how goes the grid?

10:24 am

Thanks Evan LOL

cy4/8 - cy + slang for mother, build of that with other vowel for the other two

10:25 am

I have the philosophy that I only grow things that are easy -- life is too short (and my garden too big) to fuss over temperamental plants.

10:25 am

hady

what strange words! amanda i though she was cluing the dr word so i skipped it. BUNNY!

10:25 am

thanks bun!

10:25 am

stid, that's why i love hostas

10:26 am

hi bunnyvicious!

hello

10:26 am

hi fiz!

10:26 am

Hi BV :)

10:26 am

Hi bunny!

I've been lurking...

10:26 am

I'm a perrenial girl myself - put 'em in, water, hope for the best next year

10:26 am

Did you see yourself in the grid, Stid ?(says the poet who dont knowit) I keep seeing phntome woreds like hegemony and armadillo so I'm going to take a break over a nutty breakfast.

10:26 am

yes, I have a few hostas (will get more when I start to focus on the shade garden), one of them finally got ahead of the slugs this year and is enormous!

10:26 am

26 left to go but I have to leave. Will be back later. Happy babbling!

10:27 am

yes, hurshy pointed it out as soon as she got in at the flip! have a good morning repast, Hetty!

10:27 am

Later ch12

bye ch1212

10:27 am

hostas are great, i once spent $75 on a hosta

10:27 am

i think we should have a haiku contest with words we see as phantoms in the grid... how else can we get coitus, hegemony and armadillo all together??

10:27 am

there is a jewish word in a word I believe? What word does it begin with if that makes any sense?

10:27 am

c ya ch1212

10:27 am

Yes, Fiz, most of my plants are like that -- I do try to weed a couple times and put extra top-dressing and fertilizer for plants that have been in a while... otherwise I like to sit back and enjoy!

10:28 am

Evan $75.00 for a hosta???? Are you kidding???

10:28 am

later ch1212!

bye everyone - bbl! happy babbling!

I have hibiscus, can't grow much in the heat here, they all have to migrate into the house in the summer.

10:28 am

bye TO, have a lovely day!

10:28 am

By TO :)

10:28 am

bye TO!

10:28 am

the ar 6/24 and 7/36 have a yiddish exclamation in them

10:29 am

no faerie, i kid not - (bye 72) - it's a wonder full plant with floweres taller than me!

10:29 am

bye temple and ch1212

10:29 am

Stid is that a rose from your garden?

10:29 am

I am allergic to hibiscus... when we lived in Puerto Rico there were hedges of the stuff between the houses...

10:29 am

hi everyone! I'm back to finish. Just about halfway through

10:29 am

hi abe!

10:29 am

yes faerie, they are so pretty this year!

10:29 am

hey stidmama, how's it going?

10:29 am

Hi Abe :)

10:29 am

hi musicmom!

10:29 am

hey faeriekae!

10:29 am

slowing down in the grid already and only 38 words acquired...

10:29 am

Stid it is beautiful....do you know what kind it is?

10:30 am

i have to do this grid in spurts

10:30 am

I tried twice to put in dromedary

10:30 am

not on the level of roses, hibiscus or hosta- but I thought I had killed my marigolds last week but this morning there are blooms. Yey!

10:30 am

I put in a rose bosh a few years ago - 2 seasons of lovely golden pink roses - then last year the most intense 80s hot pink you could imagine - don't know what happened! But very prolific and sweet smelling, so I'm rolling with it.

10:30 am

di 5/18 suggestions?

10:31 am

nah cant get the yiddish one

10:31 am

yep this is definitely the kind of grid you have to walk away from

10:31 am

LOL MM - marigolds keep the slugs away - they're great

10:31 am

no faeriekae, I don't. A neighbor gave it to me when we moved in -- his wife had been a friend of mine... my aunt said it might be "fire and ice" because it has such a lovely scent.

di 5/18 - di + another word for town without the "i"

10:31 am

ar+exclamation+2 consonant

10:31 am

Missing 3 7's......I have the ar7, ca7 & the dr7....cluez plz.....

10:32 am

is it the word for eek you can't get?

10:32 am

Fiz-the 3rd year is usually the beginning of the most beautiful blooms ever. :)

10:32 am

I'm pathetic Fiz - I can kill everything!

10:32 am

Stid thats what it looks it..was just wondering

there are two da 7's, dr 7, & ed 7

10:33 am

a penny in the soil will make the colors more vibrant

10:33 am

2x da7 - Mitch clued them earlier if you can get back that far...

10:33 am

:-) the only thing I did differently this year was start putting banana peels around the base under the surface of the dirt -- seems to have really done the trick!

10:33 am

jpb - after all of that I had the stupid word anyway :-s

10:33 am

*banana peels* gotta remember that!!

10:34 am

;-) cj... dpm

10:34 am

but I didn't, so very grateful for the work, CJ and jbp!

10:34 am

tontcha love when that happens

10:34 am

MM - my dad and grandfather were amazing gardeners - they taught me everything I know. The one think I could use more of, though, is patience.

10:34 am

Bunny - cluez for those plz......

The ed 7 - ed + first vowel + another word for town

10:34 am

*a penny in soil* gotta remember that too.

10:34 am

Roses LOVE banana peels - egg shells too.

10:34 am

makes roses rosier and turns hydrangeas bluish

the da 7's are identical except for the last letter, one plural, one with a sometimes vowel at the end

10:35 am

and - if you can stomach it - blood meal.

10:35 am

my swedish relatives use eggshells mixed w/ coffeegrounds

10:35 am

all blood meal ever did for me was make my cats want to roll around in the flowerbeds

dr 7 rhymes with what is in the waist of stretchy pants

10:35 am

yick

10:35 am

roses also like fireplace ashes

10:35 am

I could use more "diligence" and do the things I know are supposed to be done... my grandfathers were (one still is) wonderfully well-informed and prolific gardeners. I am a lot more laissez-faire...

10:35 am

Do the da7's have definitions, bunny?

10:35 am

coffee flavoured roses

10:35 am

Fiz - I just bought blood meal over the weekend. I'm waiting for it to stop raining before I put it down

10:35 am

Jbp - that sounds like my compost heap - I need to eat more veggies!

10:36 am

great clue bunnyV

10:36 am

I mean scented not flavoured

10:36 am

thanks bunny! I am finally to the point where my only stretchy pants are sweats I wear as jammies....

10:36 am

don't eat the veggies fiz - just put them in the compost

10:36 am

so,,,di 5/18 help?

10:36 am

bunny it was good

10:36 am

MM, da6 - A member of a robber band or gang in India or Myanmar (Burma)

10:36 am

Good point, MM - sometimes they sit in the fridge long enough that it works out that way.

di 5/18 - di + another word for town without the "i"

10:37 am

jbp - it's a silly word... short for the tape recorder a boss uses and gives to his secretary?

di 5/18 - di + another word for town without the "i"

10:37 am

jbp - a blond is usually considered di5/18

10:37 am

anyone got a clue for the ca7 and 8 please?

10:38 am

thanks Dino!

10:38 am

Got all the 7's now, ty folks......

10:38 am

I use coffee grounds for my heathers and lingonberries. haven't tried the penny thing on roses before, but will try it!

10:38 am

sounds like what you take pix with, hydra

10:38 am

ra - try googling "a secret society in Naples notorious for violence and blackmail "

10:38 am

okay, back to the grid. all these yummy clues flying by...

10:38 am

ca+consonant+or4

10:38 am

the 8 is the plural

10:38 am

hydra, ca7 and 8 sound like a thing you take pictures with (one is plural)

the ca 7 ends with o 4/4

10:39 am

hydra - try googling "a secret society in Naples notorious for violence and blackmail "

10:39 am

which do 4/5 do i have: the thing you enter and exit thru...?

10:40 am

camorras

yup

10:40 am

Oh NOOOOO! Typed it in wrong box.Hang head in shame.

10:40 am

I'm going. Daren't stay now!

10:41 am

hydra, we all do the headbanging dance of shame sometime or another

10:41 am

you don't need to leave hydra - we all do it

10:41 am

stay hydra! you have at least 6 heads left...

10:41 am

lol, stid

10:41 am

don't leave, hydra! it'll be ok!

10:42 am

10:42 am

10:45 am

10:45 am

lol, MM. I went to my sister's graduation this weekend - my grandmother said "all those girls - you would think someone would clean the carpets and the furniture! Can't they smell?"

10:45 am

LOL you wouldn't be laughing if you saw the place.

10:46 am

We have heard they are remodeling the one I lived in freshman year (19 years ago) this summer.

10:46 am

so, clues for the ed7/44?

10:46 am

I had one of my own - 15 roommates in an old frat house. off campus - but still...

10:46 am

oh, I remember several places I lived in college -- tough to go to school full-time and work minimum wage jobs and still eat...

10:46 am

I would say it is about time

Ope, my Mommy is here, better get, see ya'll tomorrow I hope!!

10:46 am

yes stidmama - but we are stronger women and better home managers for it.

10:47 am

bye bye bunny

10:47 am

My freshman year I had a roommate who didn't know how to do laudry --- she just threw underwear away and bought more since she was from Chicago and couldn't get home often enough to wash.

10:47 am

bye bunny.

10:47 am

true enough, musicmom!

10:47 am

she had a ridiculous amount of clothing.

10:47 am

*gasp of disbelief*

10:47 am

i knew several guys in the dorms who would mail laundry home

10:47 am

bye bunny!

10:47 am

rich?

10:47 am

totally zany

10:48 am

OH YEAH!

10:48 am

jbp - like "you have the au****** to ask for a clue?!" - change the beginning

10:48 am

I had a freshman roommate who changed in the closet - 9 months of living together and I don't think I ever saw her legs.

10:48 am

they were from LawnGuyland

10:48 am

my children already know how to do the laundry -- putting it away seems to be a more difficult task for some reason...

10:48 am

I had a "mean" mom who made me cook, clean and launder while I was in high school

10:48 am

Fiz, is that a metaphor for something

10:48 am

LOL Fiz

10:48 am

whoohoooooooooooooo 100 words!

10:49 am

wow

10:49 am

way to go CJ!

10:49 am

thanks amandacath!

10:49 am

Go CJ --- I need to quit talking and word hunt

10:49 am

CJ is on a roll!!!

10:49 am

don't think so. maybe if i'd spent more time in there she wouldn't have been so nervous.

10:49 am

no prob - took me forever to find it....

10:49 am

be hard pushed to get anymore its taken the whole day to get 100!

10:49 am

Go CJ GO

10:49 am

a cinnamon-pecan roll perhaps? (in keeping with the theme)

10:49 am

not that I had any help - maybe a little hehe

10:50 am

i'll take a cinnamon roll, hold the pecan

10:50 am

so, fe 6/30....

10:50 am

cinamon roll w/ nutella please. ;-)

10:50 am

go CJ! I'm at 47 - too much chit chat

10:51 am

10:51 am

I am finally to 55 and heading for the list... brb

10:51 am

frost

10:51 am

fe6 - or maybe all-women ca7/36?

10:52 am

yikes! sorry, all - hydra I'm there with you

10:52 am

hey thanks fiz

10:52 am

I've just come in from nutty breakfast to see the discussion of laundry and itvreminds me of my youngest dauhtrer's method of dealing with it-she and her lovely bloke each have 2 chairs in the bedroom , one for dirty and one for clean. (They iron only when about to wear a freshly washed outfit.) Sadly they cant always rember tother from which, so Mandy ends up rewashing clean clothes and ironing dirty ones. . .

10:53 am

thanks fiz and amanda!

10:53 am

my last word - sa5/16? Or are you going to make me monkey it...? :)

10:54 am

LOL Hetty --- sounds like my 12 year old - I never know whether the clothes in her hamper are dirty or clean. My solution is to make her do her own laundry

10:54 am

I don't have it amanda

10:54 am

amanda...it sounds arabic

10:54 am

oh hetty, that hits too close to home -- I iron things only when I am going to wear them -- but that's because most of my clothes are jeans and T-shirts... Tom irons his work shirts the weekend before...

10:55 am

butting in on the laundry chat... painful...daughter just home form uni .. need I say more...

10:55 am

condolences, Dippnall!!!! LOL

10:56 am

I only iron on an as needed basis but I hang things up on hangers as they come out of the dryer. In our old house, it didn't do me any good to iron everything at once because the closet was so small. We have a walk in now but haven't gotten in the habit of ironing regularly

10:56 am

sa 5/12 ends the same was as the biblical king who had it in for JC

10:56 am

Poor dippnall

10:56 am

Ironing is overrated.

10:56 am

Yay got it! Sexy Lost guy (or one of them, at least...) I'm done then - and off to feed rumbling tummy and learn lines before my director tosses me out of the play!

10:57 am

ooh, act like the wind, amandacath! what play, where, etc?

10:57 am

amanda! did you get fireworks?

10:57 am

Hello all.

10:58 am

hi Minski!

10:58 am

hi miinski

10:58 am

There are so many almost great words in this grid.

10:58 am

bye amanda, hi minski

10:58 am

Hello, Minski.

10:58 am

Funny story -- my husband is a professional musician and often wears a tux. Right after we got married I was bemoaning ironing the stupid shirt to the wife of one of the profs. She just laughed -- said 'Don't you know you only iron the front? The sleeves and back get messed up by the jacket - who knows whether you iron or not.

10:58 am

Hi Minski

10:58 am

BTW- Hi Vic

10:58 am

:-) Actually, with the boys becoming musicians, that is a good tip! thanks!!!

10:59 am

hi Vicuna!

10:59 am

Same is true of any shirt they are going to wear with a suit or band jacket. It works. I've passed it on to many young wives since.

daisy that is true. but sometimes it also puts a halo on something that would not survive if its course were more natural

*shuts up and goes*

well...that's true...things are different here than I thought they'd be. but that's not all him, and not all me. it just...is. but like I said...I'm still here...and he's still breathing...;) so it can't be too bad!

11:40 am

Phantom word of the day: Dromedary......

3:54 pm

a Brit who's had his heart broken goes to Georgia to get away, and he pretends not to speak english -- there is a scene where the lady who runs the boarding house he's staying in teaches him to say basic words, and it is the funniest scene EVER... "TAY-BULL... CHAY-URR... RUH-UGH... LAY-UMP"

3:54 pm

A BLAT for majmom!

tx tndaisy - crazy californian I am indeed

3:56 pm

I need to put that one on my list to read, but a good performance would be even better. I once chaperoned a group of church teenagers to New York from Georgia. Everywhere we went, people loved hearing my fellow chaperone's deep southern twang.

3:59 pm

Y'all have just reminded me I need to go online and reserve some books from the local library--so much easier than searching for them myself. I go back on chemo next Tuesday and need to get a good supply of books. Suggestions welcomed?

3:59 pm

munnner, you know my suggestion

3:59 pm

tracy when you are asking for clues, if you know how many letters, that is the first number, if you know how many points, that is the second number. ie dr 7 36, Help with that one please

3:59 pm

what sort do you like munner?

4:00 pm

ha8?

4:00 pm

tx mad - it was just making no sense to me. takes me a while to catch on/up ....

4:00 pm

mad, when you are desperate, you might take DR***** measures

4:00 pm

oh - i know - one of the grrrl genius books, they're hilarious

ok I'm back...either the mail hasn't run yet or we got left out. not surprised...this short week has screwed up everything...including garbage pickup!

4:01 pm

No ha8, but there is he8. Top of body plus not quite all

4:01 pm

oggy, I am blowing up on H's, so let me bother you again please... I have 2 ha 4 and 2 he 4 plus one he 8

4:01 pm

well I made it half way - not so bad for the first day, I reckon...

4:01 pm

Actually read a lot of different genres and levels. Taught middle school for years and still like Young Adult--Joan Bauer. Also like Orson Scott Card's fantasy, John Grisham, James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks, RIchard Paul Evans, Fannie Flagg. I could fill up the log...

Three h4's are anagrams of the thing on top of your body.

4:03 pm

I ADORE Harry Potter

4:03 pm

munner, might I suggest the old classic young adult stuff?

4:03 pm

Garth Nix and Philip Pullman then :)

4:03 pm

4:03 pm

gwenski, thanks... now I have three ha 4

4:04 pm

4:04 pm

If anyone keeps lists of all-time favorites, as I do, and you can take the time, please email to jlongnecker@hotmail.com and put BABBLE books in the subject line. Thanks.

4:09 pm

4:09 pm

The minute I finished The Halfblood Prince, I wanted to talk with someone about it, but my daughter and her husband hadn't finished it yet. I was going nuts. And my husband doesn't read except the newspaper.

4:15 pm

bye sha and Aloyisius, see you tomorrow

4:16 pm

Seeing the book chat makes me feel very wishful of expressing my ideas about the value of literature. As a specialist in novel theory, I have for many years taught books I loveand my main pleasure in life now I'm retird is sharing this love of books with others--I think a great novel, like any other great work of art, teaches us to view the world differently--shows us how to look into our own hearts and see our world from a new perspective that goes beyond our own self-interest--it fulfils the function of myth in human experience

4:17 pm

what exactly is novel theory, hetty? sounds interesting - I'm very interested in how myth is portrayed in fantasy books

4:17 pm

WOW Hetty, well said! yes, yes and yes.

4:17 pm

tks...hetty...that was lovely....but may i ask for a clue for ed7 pls? (BTW..hetty...i do agree)

4:17 pm

i agree with you, hetty

4:18 pm

hear,hear hetty! I must admit to not being 'well' read but do love words for their own sake & love that lift a good read can give you. Being VERY busy with the granchildren has allowed me to read muchless demanding novels recently & I've had such fun!

4:18 pm

e d a7, take the fancy word for daring and subsiutute

4:19 pm

an "e" for the first 2 letters

4:19 pm

ed+1st vowel + ci4/7

4:19 pm

I agree with you Hetty. As a past Lit teacher I was always amazed by people who didn't like to read, who found it boring. I am very excited about recent children's and young adult lit that seems to have gone back to the lit of old and not that fluffy stuff that was really popular for a long time.

4:19 pm

wow...never have i seen it spelled that way b4...tks oggy

4:20 pm

okay, I had already monkey-typed the e7, so when I used your clues, I got the message that I had already entered it!! LOL

4:20 pm

i guess it's a word i've not heard of b4

4:20 pm

cathy, the ed7 means voraciousness

4:20 pm

not like the au form of it...does it mean the same thing?

4:20 pm

It would bore you to hear about novel theory. . . it simply means leaning more about how and why novels are written. I used to have a sign on my office door s

4:21 pm

saying "As a novel lover I find myself perpetually bookede"

4:21 pm

i think it does mean the same as the au then.

4:21 pm

Hetty, I LOVE that sign!

4:22 pm

doesn't sound boring at all! I must have spent years reading about novel theory applicable to Tolkien without even knowing it :)

4:22 pm

snowy owl, I was a literature major for my undergrad and grad degrees, and I personally think "fun reading" is wonderful as is "serious reading"

4:23 pm

meanwhile, did anyone ever help mad with the DA's?

4:23 pm

:)

4:24 pm

nope, sorry

4:25 pm

I like reading, but not "literatire" -- never liked dissecting what I read... perhaps I had the wrong teachers early on, Hetty! because seems novel theory runs along the lines of how I think about books and writing. I like to know why and how.

4:25 pm

Good for you, Atalante. I men when I talk about boring only the stuffabout post-moxernism annd deconstructionism and all the other isms that bedevil university clases in novel criticism. But I have to say one more oprofessorial thing, and it is that myth is not necesarily to be equated with fantasy--myth is a narratve (always a narrative) that seeks to explain what is otherwise inexlicable. It is a special kind of truth therefore, a truth more valuable than "fact"

4:25 pm

hi hetty - i'm at the library and guess who i found on the computer when i went to babble (it's a quiet day)

4:25 pm

da + short form of "company" + impersonal pronoun, then plural for the first two da

4:26 pm

the other da 7 is not plural, but ends in y

4:26 pm

the last da is the woman's equivalent for British "knight"

4:26 pm

I have really enjoyed reading all sorts of nonsense! I as bedridden for a few months of every year for 4 years age 6-10 and had read almost all of Dickens & quite a few classics. I'm the sort of reader who has to read the cereal packet if there's not a book nearby. I'm in the library at every excuse & am busy instilling a love of books in my grandchildren. we're having a lovely time! Cannot sleep without reading even if it's 5 am & I only manage two lines! Have bought a book prop & can now read & iron & read & cook! GREAT

4:26 pm

Hi Jill! and guess what I'm talking about!My usual lbrary subject!

4:27 pm

yes ... Tolkien was always very specific that he was creating myth, and looking at how that traditionof myth-making compared to fantasy has been passed down from people like McDonald before him, to ALan Garner and JK Rowling (!) after him is fascinating (I was brought up on myths from various places, its entrenched into me!)

4:27 pm

Hetty -- that is how I have tried to explain things to my boys all along! That TRUTH can hide in story, and to look for that as much as "fact" in reading books from other times and places (and even from "now")

4:27 pm

Great, snowyowl You feed your imagination, which is what it's all about.

4:28 pm

Alan Garner - there;s another name for you, Munner!

4:28 pm

Stid~ I wouldn't think of literature as stuffy. I think well written books are literature. Although I draw the line at formula novels!

4:28 pm

Thanks stidmama, got them

4:28 pm

books, snowyowl, were my solace in young life too -- we moved a lot as a military family, and it was easier to keep my "book" friends than to worry about fitting in in new places.

4:29 pm

Atalante~ what do you think of Piers Anthony? I love his INcarnations of Imortality series

4:29 pm

and I would generally rather read than almost anything else... except now I found Babble there isn't much time left for reading! LOL

4:30 pm

I think that the difference between formula novels and literature is whether or not they are well written.

4:30 pm

One day, Stid, when we are not babbling but talking. I'l talk more about why I'v egiven my life toliterature, and why enjoying books means far more than analyzing them. Later thoiugh. I have my hospital visits to do now. Jst keep on reading! Particularly Ian McEwan!

4:30 pm

BGL, some of my favorite books are classic formula novels -- Nancy Drew mysteries! I read them when I was a kid, and am now rereading all of them.

4:30 pm

I love the Incarnations series. I think Piers Anthony is fun to read and the ideas in those books are intriguing -- but I have to say that in the subsequent books sometimes the "backtracking" and "filling" to bring people up to speed got a little tedious.

4:30 pm

That's true all novels follow a formula, I was thinking along the lines of dime-store romance novels... whaich are fun to read, but not "literature"

4:31 pm

gosh, I haven't read any Piers Anthony for ages! I loved his books when I read them though - I'm getting back more into the sci-fi end of fantasy though - adult "fantasy" itself is becoming very formulaic at the moment - with a few exceptions - its horribly depressing

4:31 pm

IAN MCEWAN! Yay!

4:31 pm

Hetty -- bless you for visiting in the hospital, and see you later!

4:31 pm

help with the di 5 16 please

4:31 pm

mad- you're in the grid today!!!

4:32 pm

I love the Bobbsey Twins!

4:32 pm

I know what you mean stidmama - a good story was a great analgesic when my joints were red hot & painful. My mum says I love reading 'cos she read The wind in The willows ' to me when she fed me & I did the same for my daughter when I fed her. Cannot imagine a world with no reading in it & I would still prefer to read than do anything else.

4:32 pm

If you want fantasy as literature; please give the works of Gene Wolfe a try

4:32 pm

di 5/16 is what I feel today -- not quite connecting, rather the stereotypical "blonde" word. d + impersonal pronoun +plural letters (that's the 4/5) then add a y to make it an adjecive

4:32 pm

mad add y to the one before it

4:32 pm

mad - di5/16 another spelling for someone who is bubbleheaded

4:33 pm

or "babbleheaded" smaller? LOL

got the he 8 letter word. the others, are they compound words? hints, pls&tx

4:33 pm

Thanks, got it

4:33 pm

LOL stid!

4:33 pm

I am heading out again, just learned a package of art supplies is in, and I need to make space for my next project! Ack! (as Opus would say)

4:33 pm

hmm... co8 and ca 8? s'il vous plait?

4:33 pm

the ca 8 is a plural of the ca 7

4:34 pm

how about the fo 6 33

4:34 pm

the co 8 is compound

4:34 pm

what's your next project???

4:34 pm

4:34 pm

bye stidmama

4:34 pm

I am going to paint a scarf for a friend of Mother's who is retiring and going to move around and visit with her children before she is too old...

4:34 pm

bye stid.

4:35 pm

bye stid!

i am sitting here instead of finishing my application - my friend & i are applying to be on the amazing race #11. i hate fillling stuff out, gotta get an expidited passport too (just in case - *hk knocks on every piece of wood in sight*)

5:39 pm

5:40 pm

helen, that is so AWESOME!!! A friend of mine from high school is one of the camera guys. Really great guy. I'll watch if you're on it!

5:40 pm

about 11.30pm mary -am recovering from a Brownie Pack holiday -got back after 3 nights on monday -very tired & then didn't get to sleep till 3.30am this morning!

5:41 pm

ack! my condolences

no kidding missy - hey maybe he can put me in (there may be a little something extra in your pay envelope, nudge, nudge) :)

5:41 pm

I'll see what I can do ;)

5:41 pm

isn't that an oxymoron= Brownie pack/holiday?

*that was supposed to read," put a good word in for me"

5:42 pm

LOL I'm more of an owl than a lark but I need to get to bed before 1.00 tonight if I can

yeah snowy - i hear you - my 'partner' in this couldn't keep working on it today cause she had a girll scout luau to get to & set up for her troop + 200 other people - and the deadline is THIS FRIDAY !!!!! i am freaking out

at least we got the video part done today - for part of it, i am in her jacuzzi sipping champagne (covered in bubbles, of course!)

5:44 pm

you'll pull it together,Helen

5:45 pm

LOL - I got more Brownie Pack than I did 'Holiday' but it was fun ( I think!) Our theme was tropical islands - Don't I repeat DO NOT make grass skirts out of beach mats! They fall apart at an amazing rate!

5:45 pm

helen, I knew what you meant! really, I'll cross my fingers for you, too. As long as you promise to mention Babble at some point during the contest :o

i'm excited about it - even though i realize our chances are very slim, cause i'm sure hundreds of thousands of people apply.

missy - LOL - i aldready mentioned babble in the application!!! - it asked for favorite hobbies - LOL

5:47 pm

well, then, helen, in my opinion you are a SHOO-IN

5:47 pm

is that how it's spelled?

5:47 pm

Every Babbler's finger will be crossed (though it may impede o ur typing)

lol missy - from your mouth to the producer's ears!

5:47 pm

Like mine needsany impediment!

5:48 pm

OMG...took me this long to get the ca8 and ca9!!!

5:48 pm

lol, mary

5:49 pm

LOL Cathyar at least you got them!

5:49 pm

mary, have we discussed PDX before? Do you live in Hawthorn?

5:50 pm

acts

5:50 pm

crap!

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

camo

wtg cath - that's 1 more 9 than i have (& i can't see how to make a 9 out of my 8) are there 2 ca8

5:51 pm

sometimes they just hide Cathyar.

5:51 pm

sorry all. yes, I'm the Hawthorne gal, but I'm moving a little north this month so I'll a NE denizen soon, Missy!

oh, i seee - there are no 9's

5:52 pm

no...just one ca 8

5:53 pm

but there is a co8

5:53 pm

cool, mary! welcome to NE PDX

th cath - trying to go listless here

5:53 pm

there are no 9's in today's grid

5:53 pm

Thanks! Feels like moving up. I'll be closer to the MAX line, in any case.

5:53 pm

Hi, all, just started, may I please have clues for the ca8 and co8 and any other long words :)

5:54 pm

ca8 is plural of ca7/36... which sounds like the thing u take pictures with, but spelled a couple letters differently

5:55 pm

hi peri, ca/8 ca + fort in puerto rico

5:55 pm

ar 6 and 7: ar + ***rogers + thing a squirrel will eat minus the vowel. (then plural)

5:55 pm

or castle

5:55 pm

the co8 is a compound word co** (the carbonated drink) and he4/6

5:55 pm

hi peri ca7is 1st 3 letters of the ca4/6 before it + or4/4 + plural for the 8

5:55 pm

Cathyar and Anniebrook, thanks, got them right away

5:55 pm

co8 is a compound word for someone who likes blow

5:56 pm

yay peri....feelin proud to give a clue to one so up on the stats list as u!!! :)

5:56 pm

Cathyar, thanks, got the co8 too,

5:56 pm

co8 is a drug addict -the rival for pepsi + the bit of you you neck holds up

5:57 pm

Cathyar, I think I am only high on the Elders list and that is because I have been play for almost two years

5:57 pm

snowy...good clue...also like marymary's clue...funny

alien - i'm lovin' your icon & your profile - esp your location - LOL

5:57 pm

ty Cathyar!

5:58 pm

i've been at it about 6 months and have only completed about 3 times...lol

5:58 pm

well, it's true ya know...LOL

5:58 pm

but it is fun...and i enjoy chatting with y'all

5:59 pm

nothing else quite like it Cathyar - I've been playing since last October & still enjoy every grid.

6:00 pm

I have been at this for about a month and I am in awe of anyone who finishes. One day. One day.

6:00 pm

Savor the journey, Cathyar. The destination is secondary. And we like chatting with you!

6:00 pm

u'll get there annie...some of the words seem repetitive by times...and u get used to what is "odd" in what is in Dr.God's dictionary

6:01 pm

lol...listen to me talkin like "old hat" or sumthin

6:01 pm

Alien, your icon looks to be an original work. Is it yours? And what is the medium?

6:01 pm

Yes, the journey is fun. Even tho, I am not a big chatterer, I enjoy listening to the chat and I get help along the way.

6:01 pm

Dr. God's dictionary is nothing like Websters...it's worldwide dictionary

6:02 pm

I wish i could claim the drawing...but I stole it from google images.

6:02 pm

Very nice, in any case.

6:02 pm

ty

6:03 pm

gads...the dog wants out to pee...gotta go...then get some homework done with my 8-year old son..b4 his bedtime...i swear it's so easy to lose track of time playing this game

6:04 pm

but...... i'll be BAKKK

6:04 pm

cathyar, it's been great having your voice in the chat today. hope to see you again soon!

6:04 pm

bye Cathyar

bye cath - thx for your help :)

6:04 pm

HETTY WOULD SHOOT ME FOR MY LANGUAGE

6:05 pm

how many words are there?

6:05 pm

153 guy

6:05 pm

153 words

cath - what's wrong with your language?

6:06 pm

She's just referring to verbal shortcuts, B4 and the like. Not foul language...

6:06 pm

just found the fish that I slapped myself with earlier.... in the h's (clue)

ah - so my ? remains - what's wrong with that?

6:08 pm

Oh, Hetty is ... how to say... a little 'old school'. Actually, she's tremendously hip!

ah - i see - i guess i haven't ever heard her say anythign about that, cause yeh, i agree she's hip (& very, very smart!)

6:10 pm

it is funny, you can tell the relative age of chatters by how complete their spelling is...... totally (often older), abbrev, & da txt sp, wot u say?

6:11 pm

Oh I doubt she'd EVER say anything about it. I think Cathyar feared how academic Hetty seems rather than fearing actual berating. Hetty amazes me.

LOL missy !!

6:12 pm

when the trolls get out of control, it's pretty easy to figure them for 15 and under, cos they dont spel 4 beanz

yes - hetty is a little scary in the depth & breadth of what she knows - sometimes she freaks me out

6:12 pm

lol It takes us so long to transslate all this new speak it's easier & faster to write it out in full!

lol missy - that's soooooo true !

right on snowy !

25 left - where are they?

6:13 pm

he 8/55 = the thing that sits on your shoulders + ut****

6:15 pm

snowy, dear, use your he**, and you'll get the mo** out of it..... which way the pillows are on the bed

6:16 pm

I knew i'd need the 'obvious fish'!!!! TY all!

6:19 pm

6:57 pm

goooooooooooooo missyem

6:58 pm

getting stormy here... and almsot time to make dinner. Holler if you want clues....

6:58 pm

BRB phone

6:59 pm

mochajavachocolates!!!!! I'm in!!!!!

6:59 pm

hi Minski! *hands fresh cup*

6:59 pm

(pops back up) say, does anyone know -- can we change our user names? I'm really a michelle who is oft called "mich" but not missy -- you can see where the Missy M. came from....

6:59 pm

hiya! so glad to see a "smaller" grid!

7:00 pm

hi featherbee! I was, too! finished earlier so here to clue if you need...

7:00 pm

oh, feather, be careful what you ask for.... this is a DOOZY

7:00 pm

oh, it is? hmm...i haven't started yet...

7:00 pm

I think the only way to do it missyem is to create a new user... but perhaps you can ask Dr. God?

7:01 pm

(sheepishly) and how does one contact The Creator?

7:01 pm

there is a link I think at the bottom of one of the babble pages?

7:02 pm

I'll look for it....

7:02 pm

missymichelle, I have a similar issue... but will prob stick with nrkii

7:03 pm

nrkii, if I find out I'll let you know?

7:03 pm

(but first to finish the grid!!!!)

7:03 pm

tx!

can someone give me a clue for the my 6 pl can't figure it out

7:04 pm

sheryl...... it's magical, old spelling

7:04 pm

sheryl, the movie my**** pizza

7:04 pm

ah, heck, i started it...

7:05 pm

go feather!!!

ty nrkii looks like i am missing all the ones i should be getting, lol

7:05 pm

well featherbee, *hands triple shot cocoamochajavajavajavalatte*

7:06 pm

feather, better take some red bull and jolt cola while you're at it

7:06 pm

lol, awesome, thanks! recovering from a migraine here, so caffiene will go well.

7:07 pm

oh featherbee, I am so sorry -- that stinks. I hate migraines!

7:07 pm

stid, you are a remarkable caffeinator (chief caffeinatrix?)

7:07 pm

this crazy weather is doing a doozy on me. i'm pain free now, but am feeling the after affects

7:08 pm

LOL -- I know, and I actually rarely have the real thing, usually I go decaf!

7:08 pm

In a lot of ways the aftereffects are worse for me. It almost feels like I "ought" to be able to just bounce back, but it doesn't work that way.

7:09 pm

I've been caffeine free for 7 years and I still pine for it (I never gave up chocolate though, because that would be plain crazy)

7:10 pm

Hi all, I have a question. :) After you have playedd for awhile, does it become easier to spot the "odd" words? I guess what I mean is, are they repeated frequently enough that after awhile it becomes easier? I don't use any word lists etc, and I think I have only finished one or two, and that was with major help. I'd like to be able to do it on my own I guess :)

7:10 pm

I find that when I drink a lot of caffeine it makes the anxiety disorder worse, and after a while I am just a bundle of nerves...

7:10 pm

cat, yes, you do start to spot them

7:10 pm

hi Cat! sometimes it's easier, sometimes not! But there are almost always a few "new" words it seems, or a "babblet" that you just fail to see. At least that is how it works for me!

7:11 pm

Can I ask what a babblet is? Are these real words?

7:11 pm

glass half full ... glass half empty...

7:11 pm

TY nrkii and stidmama :)

7:11 pm

speaking of which, the monkeys aren't finding the sa 5/16...... hint?

7:11 pm

a babblet is a word that appears frequently in the grid -- usually a "real" but uncommon word.

7:12 pm

oh ok ty :)

7:12 pm

sa 5/16: "speak" + opposite of ego

7:12 pm

'm learning, slow but sure lol

7:13 pm

can I get some help with D's... let's start with da 6/24?

7:13 pm

thank you, thank you, stidmama! I'm at 3 left..... (dives)

7:14 pm

go missyem go!

7:14 pm

I agree with stidmama, Cat; some words you come to know, while others are surprises. I think your approach may make you advance more quickly than we list users. I don't know for sure, however, as I'm pretty lost without the list once I'm two-thirds of the way.

7:15 pm

caffeine problem? who has a caffeine problem? huh? huh? huh? why you all looking at me???? my leg? oh, it always bounces like that. typos? if my hands would stop shaking, i'd hit the right keys!!! no caffeine problem here!

7:15 pm

da 6/24 is da + "company" abbreviation +impersonal pronoun; then plural for the next, change to adverb for the next; the last da is woman equivalent for english "knight"

7:16 pm

:) - hey, at least I have the last da, I'm not totally useless on my own! Thanks.. off to hunt!

7:16 pm

lol feather

7:16 pm

*jitters back to the grid*

7:16 pm

ty Mab :) I never make it past two thirds of the way without help. Like now, I have 38 left and stuck lol

7:16 pm

(me too, laughing, typing so**, so**, so**, etc.)

7:17 pm

stidm - that word that you just clued is a good example of something I'd never think to monkey type. I think some people have a better sense of how language works in general.

7:17 pm

ty, stid for da6/24-- never would have got it... going to look it up! brb

7:17 pm

yes, and some of us are on throughout the day, picking up good clues while we hunt!

7:18 pm

I agree mab, some people do have a better sense of how language works, so they know what to look for.

7:18 pm

so, I still need a do 5/12 and 2 4/5's one of which I believe is the very last one

7:18 pm

YAYAYAYAY, happy dance!!! io finito!!

7:19 pm

okay, need to go think about dinner -- good luck

7:19 pm

15 left and 20 or so minutes in which to find them

7:19 pm

YAY missyem! woo-hoo!

7:19 pm

congrats missyem!

7:19 pm

do 5/12 is a plural of the nike slogan...

7:19 pm

ty, ty for all the help!

7:19 pm

yay missyem!

7:20 pm

gotta go, missy will you help CadFan? bye!

7:20 pm

ohhh good clue, thanks!

7:20 pm

cad, I'll clue you -- same wavelength AGAIN, stid -- enjoy the dinner

7:20 pm

okay I'm down to the last do 4/5

7:21 pm

7:21 pm

7:21 pm

that's it thats all finished

7:21 pm

a cat jumped on me, sorry

7:21 pm

got that one too

7:22 pm

sheryl!!!!! fireworks? YAY

7:22 pm

ah - what I'm missing is actually the da 7/44

ty

7:22 pm

take the 7.36 and change the end to the sometimes vowel

7:23 pm

That did it. Off to the last 12 C's....

7:23 pm

okay, let's go cadfan!

7:24 pm

I have only the last cy

7:25 pm

the other 3 are all related to each other.... cy + lumpy const. + 1 vowel, then 2 vowels, then 1 vowel.....

7:25 pm

lumpy const?

7:26 pm

the one in the middle!

7:26 pm

hello, btw

7:26 pm

nevermind - got it...

7:26 pm

7:26 pm

7:27 pm

7:58 pm

7:59 pm

LeslieAnn -- that BRILLIANT, kudos

OK. New England here, ren. Been so much flooding up here of late; windered if you were a neighbor.

8:03 pm

Kenny! I nominate you for the hall of fame!

Thank you, thank you.

8:04 pm

hey leslie, i think we're in the wrong place - *sticks head out of rabbit hole* this looks like denial, i think we took a wrong turn at sanity.

8:04 pm

To babble, or not to babble, that is the question... whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous nut-babblers...

8:04 pm

or in the pac NW, the slugs and arrows...

8:04 pm

out, out damned nut!

8:04 pm

screw sanity! those people want me to pay bills, and go to work...

8:05 pm

kierlex, no theme to words, but to icons...

8:08 pm

everyone throwing around the word nut is confusing me!

8:08 pm

STID! you have to stop typing what I type!

9:03 pm

Hi Temple - I've been busy lately. Trying to finish this one - need help with the co5/12 - any hints?

9:04 pm

dianne, 1st one or last one?

9:04 pm

How about...."Hey there lonely girl...........

9:04 pm

now he's playing it really loud on the stereo behind me. i hate journey!!!!!!!

dianne: it's a bird - and it sounds like a dove's sound

9:04 pm

9:04 pm

temple the last one.

9:05 pm

2nd co 14 what a dove did

9:05 pm

Journey...((sigh))

9:05 pm

so does he...... he's dancing around and drumming on me, and i'm glaring at him

9:05 pm

co 5/12 would be what the dove is when he does what he does

Miami 67 - Detroit 73 4th qtr

9:10 pm

9:10 pm

dr 6/21, plural

9:11 pm

how about the dr 7/36?

9:11 pm

dr5/12 - d + think of word for unruley mob but switch the vowels.

9:11 pm

Feather, you need to take dr7/36 measures.

9:13 pm

thanks! but why?

9:13 pm

I love Elton John too. Man, I

9:13 pm

franmag, di 5/18 is first 4 letters of the book we lok up words in, plus the sometimes vowel

9:13 pm

FranMag, it ends in the sometimes vowel, and begins with where we look these words up.

9:13 pm

di 5/18...think along the lines of hitler...he was a di******, now take that first four letters and add a sometimes vowel

9:13 pm

oops- was gonna say nobody will sympathize with my plight

9:13 pm

cuz, i like ya. :) you're sick enough to fit in here. (sounds like i'm being creepy, i'm not though)

fe6/30 is a plural for a large bone

9:15 pm

9:15 pm

9:18 pm

h8 = end of the bed where pillows go

9:18 pm

ar 6/24, first 3 letters of one above it, sometimes vowel, two consonants

9:19 pm

Go inaria! I'd hate to think I have that jingle in my brain for no good reason.

9:26 pm

do you have a half-joking, half-serious nickname, like "the bowling moms" or "the hippies" or whatever? i think that's a major part of getting picked

9:26 pm

"parts, parts, gimme parts, parts" or, "if you want it, and you need it, then just ask us, and we'll get it" AHHHH!!

the hippies? (i'm so bad with names)

You're not fully clean.....until you're Zestfully clean

Woo hoo!! Thanks all, I'm done!

9:27 pm

9:28 pm

9:28 pm

huzzah, inaria!

9:28 pm

LOL leslie - uhh, i don't quite see that working, lol

9:29 pm

I'm a pepper, you're a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper! wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?

9:31 pm

what a thug, stole my name. :)

9:31 pm

da 6/24 7/36 7/44

9:31 pm

i love those ads where a camera man comes up to a woman in a supermarket and asks if she ever has a problem with feminine odor, and she goes "oh yeah! that's a big one!"

his parents accompanied him to ny - met all contestants - all were great. i never watched until i found out about bj. and at first i thought tyler was brian's son - blond hair...

9:32 pm

da 7/44 - da + "company" abbr. + the ** girl + sometimes vowel

9:32 pm

yeah, and when the room darkens and they zoom in on a woman who in a serious voice talks about feminine itching. ew

9:32 pm

i know!! james is like, how do they get away with this??

Most of the feminine product ones go places I'd rather they didn't.

9:33 pm

i wonder who would be in those commercials! i'm not sure you could pay me enough! who would want to be remembered as the vagisil chick?

9:33 pm

where else would you put them, inaria?? oh, wait... never mind

9:33 pm

best is when you're watching tv with your new boyfriend and they show one of those ads. not at all uncomfortable.

heeheeheeeheeheeheehee

9:34 pm

wasssssup, like the friends where joey was in the ad for vd

9:34 pm

i know!! with the odor one, its like everyone will know u as the woman with the stinky vag.

9:34 pm

amen inariargenteus (dang, long name) you will be "i" from now on

9:34 pm

if they are no good for television ads, why are they better to discuss on chat boxes

You can shorten it however you like, wassup.

9:34 pm

yeah! gonorrhea or something right?

9:34 pm

roflmao froelica

9:34 pm

thanks leslieann got the 7/44 what about the da 7/36 & 6/24

9:34 pm

hehe

9:35 pm

sorry, can't help you with those, ronnie

9:35 pm

lol LeslieAnn! I was just thinking of that! And then got to thinking about the 70s jingle about VD.

9:35 pm

never mind, typed to fast

hey scout's mom - did you ever get hold of mtn jock?

ronnielee, those play along the same lines as the 7/44...

Just different endings & one's shorter.

9:35 pm

looks like 7/44 is a plural for the 6/24

9:36 pm

hope that helps you right back (take off the last letter)

9:36 pm

oh thanks!

9:36 pm

no; told mab a bit ago that he went to the movies and his roommate had forgotten to ask how the interview went. He may call back if it's not too late.

9:36 pm

9:37 pm

Nite Froelica and Happy Birthday

9:37 pm

see you later "i"

9:37 pm

nighty-nite, Inaria.

was bj the blond or the dark haired one? i absolutely loved them both - i also loved the nerd couple

9:37 pm

oh and wassssssup of course

9:38 pm

i think he was the brown-haired one

bj is the dark haired one

thx - i am very bad with names , sorry

they looked like they wre having so much fun - and they were very good travelers

9:39 pm

it's just because they also refer to them in pairs - usu. i don't know either if they're the same gender - i couldn't tell you which one was eric and which was jeremy

9:39 pm

Anyone on 2nite that I have talked to before?

temple - do you know anything about their application video - 3 minutes goes by sooo very fast - we did ours today - but i want to redo it, take out some of the pauses, add some more stuff

9:40 pm

HE 8/55

9:40 pm

does anyone have ca7/36

good point leslie, about the pairs

i don't. if i run itno brian i could ask him. although bj does not live at home not sure if brian saw the video

9:40 pm

ronnie: he4 plus mo4

9:40 pm

compound word, ronnie - part of your body, plus the opposite of least

9:41 pm

got it thanks

9:41 pm

ca 7/36 - most say it's like what you take pictures with, spelled wrong. first three letters same, then fourth vowel, double consonant, first vowel

nope, they had to do it together -part of the rules, you both have to appear on the tape at the same time - that's why i'm worried, there's almost a whole minute of just me, in her jacuzzi, sipping champagne (appropriately covered in bubbles, of course!) :)

9:43 pm

helen, you should play yourself up as hos, they always have at least one girl pair of those

but thx anyway TO, it's got to be there by friday, so off it goes FedEx overnight tomorrow, nothing like waiting til the last minute -

LOL leslie - we're middle aged - she's got 3 kids, methinks ho angle really bad idea, lol

9:44 pm

9:45 pm

9:45 pm

Are we back on MILFs now? We were on that topic last time I was here!

i'm not a mom - see we really are very much opposites

9:45 pm

an adjective form of the college room, orrchid

what's milf's?

9:46 pm

orrchid, adjective based on do4/6

9:46 pm

never seen american pie? it's mom i'd like to... um... use your imagination

9:46 pm

Mother I'd Like to... *ahem* It's an acronym.

9:46 pm

ths les :)

gotcha, tx

9:47 pm

*shifts uncomfortably* It's supposedly a compliment.

9:47 pm

well, in any case, i am excited about this helen. I would think about applying if it weren't for my absolutely awful sense of direction. let us know how it goes.

9:48 pm

Yep...good luck, Helen! The rest of y'all...good night! I'd better get something ironed for work tomorrow.

leslie - i would so love to do it, but realistically so many people apply, i don't feel very hopeful, although our tape , i think, is catchy - but i sure will let you all know what happens - tx

9:49 pm

good night scoutsmom!

10:01 pm

guess I'm slow - I still don't get it!

10:01 pm

Let's say that co8 is not a Pepsi-drinker.

Jack's a mean man with a gay neighbor and a waitress he loves in his own unique way.

10:30 pm

basically it's like a treasure hunt, only they go to different countries, learn about customs, do crazy tasks and daredevil stunts, and the last team to each "checkpoint" gets kicked off

10:30 pm

sorry-saw the movie, was wondering about the race show thing.

10:30 pm

10:31 pm

it is actually pretty good - i'm a bit burned out on reality tv, but it's hard for anything to be set up or super cheesy, b/c everything's going so fast and a lot of it depends on luck and how they interact with other people

10:41 pm

I've been here more than ten years now.

10:41 pm

ar 7 is a plural of ar 6 - a + sigfreid and *** + two consonantsin the top righthand corner

11:09 pm

Used to be called "Little Black Sambo," fortunately updated to reflect more accurately it's Indian origin and called "Little Babaji"

11:09 pm

apparently the gh is A clarified semifluid butter used especially in Indian cooking.

11:09 pm

am I right?

11:09 pm

Right, and the tigers in the story ran around a tree until they melted into same, which was used to prepare pancakes, of which Babaji ate quite a few. :)

11:09 pm

hey I think I know that story!

11:10 pm

Then at least once you've read the word! ;)

11:10 pm

Thanks, LeslieAnn, that was my last word and it was driving me nuts!!

11:16 pm

Defenestrate is not in this puzzle.

11:16 pm

too bad...

11:16 pm

there are three ok's. one is a vegetable and plural, the other is ok + what a canadian might say

11:16 pm

But it's an extremely useful word that we should all use at every opportunity.

11:16 pm

chiunit, it has a plural also

11:16 pm

yeah I caught that

11:16 pm

thanx tho

11:17 pm

good idea hokat. how bout you use it in a sentence?

11:17 pm

I'mma look up that canadian one

11:17 pm

My cat defenestrated when it saw a bird.

11:17 pm

tiny, oa word would be a direction if you change o to e

11:17 pm

oh LA...thats not a hard word to use in a sentence

11:17 pm

ok, there are: 1 oa, 3 od's, 3 ok's, 1 oo, 3 or's, 1 os

11:18 pm

oh i didn't mean to be different on the ok. it's an ok 4 - ok + male pronoun backwards

defenestrated wow

11:19 pm
