1:23 am

hmm, hence the sly smile... :-d

1:23 am

i think we're all teasing you sprite! it was a good clue!

i believe rintintin preceded timmy's dog

1:23 am

i think they're messing with you sprite. surely everyone knows who saves timmy from the well!

1:23 am

That collie pulled Timmy out of a lot of scrapes

1:23 am

Neverending story, absolutely. "Follow your heart's desire and luck will find you."

Job is going in the right direction slowly but surely. Husband and kids are doing fine. And with you?

1:28 am

yes lib, that's the best thing about them - is the afternoon getting my 1 1/2 year old pom acquainted with a 14 week old pom - i think my gal is still a pup, but next to the babe, she's like an old lady - the puppy just crazy runs whenever she feels like it

1:32 am

I think she will always paint, Andy, indeed.

1:32 am

i do...i do!! yay!!!

1:33 am

It is a pretty flag too :)

1:33 am

agreed, it is her passion and she is pertty good at it, sprite

*spent the afternoon ...

1:35 am

falcor is what i called him. my dad called him marty j. dog. he had a middle name. :)

nope lib, my husband brought me my pom even though i made him promise not to - i wanted to go looking myself, after my last one died at 14, but he has no will power - the puppy is his son's new dog (grown up son who just bought a house, so now they can have dogs)

1:37 am

there he is!!!!

1:37 am

Darn! ;)

lol & sprite - i doubt you would EVER look supid

*stupid

2:07 am

At least 100x each day!

no way, lol

2:08 am

2:09 am

LOL! I just told my kid what we were saying and he says: "No, not 100x, mum, only 50!"

2:09 am

Well, eh, thanks son... I think. :)

4:12 am

awwwwww! good pic

4:12 am

well, I'd thought of that but couldn't work it on the grid, but never mind, it's there and thanks and now I'm really going!

4:12 am

re8/60, sq8/55 and te8/40

<script>alert('hahahaha');</script>

4:12 am

mattygroves Aaaaaaah

4:12 am

Thats a really good picture

4:13 am

and mine is a huge big thing I drew a few years ago as a friend's brithday present. I've never been so pleased to finish something in mylife, and never been so pleased with the result!

4:13 am

thanks franmag

4:13 am

atalante, it looks like a scarf print from Hermes, it's lovely

4:14 am

ooo thank you! thats a nice compliment! :)

4:14 am

cute picture matty!

It's super Atlante. I hate dial up...

4:14 am

Atalante Wish I had a friend like you....and my favourite colour too.

4:15 am

Hermes does a different theme every season, I thought it was from their mythology theme.

4:16 am

Looks like we're back again

4:17 am

we'll see for how long!

4:17 am

Yeah, better finish fast. Still need 42!

4:17 am

there's a better pic of it here, if you'd like a close up - http://www.deviantart.com/view/1457012 7/

4:19 am

Atalante Just had a peep. Truly beautiful. I love it

Sprite, I need to beat you tonight!, I have 187 to go!! what are my chances!??

Lickety said I have none and FA !

4:21 am

If you really want to beat me, I can wait for you to finish, no problem!

4:21 am

lickety may well be right

you might die of boredom!! As long as everyone was happy to entertain and give really easy clues!...

4:23 am

If it means that much for you, it will be my pleasure :)

Oh Sprite, I am having a jokE!!

...but I do have 68 left!!

4:24 am

sprite, Mr. P, LOL

4:24 am

Well, I am sorta getting paranoid, wilth people who wanna beat me and people betting on my time... while all I wanna do is find words :)

Gosh, is no-one asking for hints today?

4:25 am

I have 146 to find. I'm almost with you!

4:25 am

just enjoy yourself, sprite!

4:25 am

I've still got 153 left, have you noticed it's always a bigger grid when you have got plans for the day

4:25 am

Thanks Ata :D

4:25 am

matty, I'm so far off the stage where I know what needs to be clued :)

4:26 am

Of course, Katie. this dang thing can read your mind

4:26 am

Matty, I still need too many for clues, but thanks :)

True - I'd even be thinking of resorting to the list...if I could get in. I hate dial up

4:26 am

Not that I have one

4:27 am

lol Deutch!

4:30 am

Criminy! there are 213 words and I keep entering the same 60. Wake up, brain!

4:30 am

I think 60 is about the amount of relatively normal words in this grid. I ran dry at 70.

OK, I am asking for clues!! pi7 please??

4:32 am

Died again!!

I'm on 55 and struggling. I think I shall go put wash in the dryer and wake sleepy teen.

4:33 am

Died again!!

4:34 am

Died again!!

4:39 am

Keep getting word couldn't be added message. Think I'll get ready for cricket as this is so frustrating. Back tonight

4:41 am

mrp, an insignificant person, starts with pi4/5

4:43 am

Keep getting word couldn't be added message. Think I'll get ready for cricket as this is so frustrating. Back tonight

6:31 am

a long wait to play babble today.

6:33 am

hi everyone! Wonder what happened?

6:34 am

morning.

6:35 am

hi cliff. How are you doing?

6:36 am

i'm good. now if this rain would only stop!

6:36 am

I know-was going to garden today of course. But at least it's raining hard enough so I don't feel any obligation to get anything done.

6:36 am

by the way eva, thank you for your recent kind words of wisdom.

6:37 am

very welcome. How is your friend doing? How are you doing with it all?

Is anyone else having problems getting into lickety's clues?

6:38 am

spent some more time with my friend last night. he is starting to become exhausted from all the visitors - but he still wants everyone to keep coming.

6:38 am

by the way cliff-if you don't want to talk about it, and just want to be able to come here for some repsite, please don't feel you have to.

6:39 am

finally! Hi Everyone :)

6:39 am

thanks eva. i've found that fellow babblers are great at helping me keep my perspective in order.

6:39 am

thanks eva. i've found that fellow babblers are great at helping me keep my perspective in order.

6:40 am

Morning afternoon all I can get in fine matty.

6:40 am

how did your black fly festival work out eva?

'snot letting me in! I get page cannot be displayed

6:41 am

I got in Mattygroves

6:41 am

see if you can reach it via angelsongs page

6:42 am

black fly festival! I forgot about black fly season!

6:42 am

of course there has been so much rain in NH that even the black flies are drowing!

6:43 am

I grew up in MA/ME. but we always spent May in MA.

6:44 am

but now you're a left-coaster krys....how do you like it out there?

Without the list, I'm doomed!

6:45 am

love it. miss the leaves in the fall, and the snow in the winter, though. been here twelve years.

6:45 am

afternoon everybody!

6:45 am

i just got here - which site are you having trouble getting to, matty?

6:46 am

afternoon? where do you hail from, unicorn?

6:46 am

Brandyjack will be posting his list on Babblers anon at some point. I did copy licketys list into excel if thats any good to you?

6:46 am

Italy at the moment

6:48 am

matty, maybe you just need to refresh . . .

6:50 am

i'll be here for about another year or so then i might get to go home. Maybe Hawii i won't know until later.

6:51 am

matty, I can email you a list if you want

6:51 am

Where in Italy?

6:52 am

Avaino AB

6:52 am

it's about an hour from Venice

6:53 am

how long have you been away from home?

The Excel list would help...I don't know why I can't get in - I've tried refreshing, shutting Explorer down. Maybe just the perils of dial up

6:54 am

Pop your email address in yr profile and I'll pick it up from there and email you the spreadsheet.

6:54 am

about a year and a half now

Cool - thanks!

6:55 am

good morning , testing my new icon!

6:55 am

do you like Italy? and what do you do?

6:56 am

hmmm, can't read it very well

Tis there now...

6:57 am

and email is on it's way to you :)

6:57 am

Italy's pretty cool. I love the travel! It's hard to find a career that will let a young person spend so much time in Europe. Air Force

6:57 am

is cliffy still in here??...

6:58 am

Been digging the garden, is the site ok now?

6:58 am

I figured you were in the Air Force, but I was curious about what specifically that meant for you - do you fly, do you do mechanics, some of each...?

Thanks Fiona - you're a life saver! (OK, perhaps a SLIGHT exaggeration...)

7:00 am

Hi Katie,All seems OK now. HAve you got the glorious weather too? yw matty.

7:01 am

i do a little of a lot of things... ...um... it's hard to explian.

teal does not exist?

7:01 am

Student , try again, cos it does :)

7:01 am

try it again...

7:01 am

it went in on mine

We'll be off walking soon - a friend of ours is walking 900 miles for a charity researching a rare type of cancer, and we'll walk a mile or so with him. Fab day for it!

7:02 am

Fmitch, it is fantastic. My plants may live after all!!

oh - sorry

7:02 am

yes its doe student

7:02 am

Krys, I see that you're touring bridges this summer--there's a cool covered bridge in Elizabethton, TN that spans the Doe River

7:03 am

Amazing what a difference a bit of sun make, everyone walks round smiling. Mind you that could be at all the silly shorts people are wearing.

7:03 am

Oh! I should edit that - I decided to scale it way back.. but I am still interested in bridges of all shapes and sizes and most of the covered bridges I've looked in to are in New England - will check it out.

7:03 am

ah, OK :-)

7:04 am

warm day for it matty, has yr friend already started or is today Day 1?

Check out the details of Gary the walker, the charity and the walk here - http://www.rosemargaretwalk.co.uk/

7:04 am

I've got a silly skirt on but not going anywhere but my back garden in it. I found two much loved rings I thought I had lost last year, it was like getting an extra present :)

7:04 am

here it is, uneaixoise: http://www.dalejtravis.com/bridge/tenn esse/htm/4201001.htm

Today is day one - Hampton to Chertsey, I think.

7:05 am

the student...were r u from

7:06 am

where is australia

7:06 am

krys, FYI my daughter lived in Western NC for years and Elizabethton was on my route to visit her

7:07 am

It's an old bridge - 1882 - unusual that it hasn't been rebuilt at all... or maybe it has and it's not been documented.

7:07 am

hiya everyone!

7:07 am

where in australia i mean..i live in australia aswell

7:07 am

hi bex

7:08 am

krys, it's been rebuilt somewhat--was damaged in a flood in 1901

7:15 am

na5/10 hint, anyone? definition or something?

7:17 am

7:17 am

7:30 am

Thanks - again, I'd sworn I had tried that. Clearly not.

7:30 am

What about a clue for re 7 and 8 I assume 8 might be a plural.

7:32 am

Good Morning all, Gray and raing day here, clues for any of the 8 letter words please

7:32 am

7:33 am

Are there clues for the RE 7 and 8?

7:39 am

So tired... LOL

7:39 am

good morning jfarber.

7:40 am

Ah, discovered! Hello, my dear K10.

7:40 am

Just here for a moment or three while the kids awake upstairs...

7:41 am

morning. Babble!

7:41 am

Morning Angel

morning, everyone!

7:42 am

How goes the end-of-year tutoring, Krys?

7:42 am

so far, I have four S words that also use the 5 point tile. are there others?

squine

that is ot one of them

7:43 am

very busy weekend - tutoring all day today and all day tomorrow. bad night to have trouble sleeping! half my clients have a final on wednesday, and after that it gets a lot easier. i'm staying overnight at my office tonight because they're closing the bridge i use to get back and forth for seismic retrofitting.

7:43 am

LOL. Angel, I have three...a shiny thing on a shirt, a pig noise, and an inky seacreature. what am I missing?

7:44 am

how goes the end of the school year, J?

7:44 am

The noisy pig is missing.

7:44 am

according to licketys list there are only 3????

7:44 am

there's a s8 that makes the pig noise

7:44 am

If it makes you feel better, Krys, I lived at the office for 7 years...until we quit the boarding school teaching gig.

7:44 am

(thanks, K)

7:44 am

Hi Haz

7:45 am

only three that go SQ, but at least one other that uses it in another spot

7:45 am

put the fivce point tile in the middle of the S words for a couple more....

7:45 am

i avoided the boarding school gig, myself, although it was tempting when I first moved here and couldn't afford groceries

think follow on - as in a book ormovie

7:45 am

Ah! Movie number two and three...

7:45 am

Hi FMitch - just back from shopping and taking a breather before lifting it in from the car. No 2 daughter is sun-bathing and couldn't possibly be disturbed and the dog is not to be trusted!

7:45 am

oh duh, thanks guys

7:46 am

does any1 ever get all words?? I'm new ...

7:47 am

I hardly ever spend the time...but yes, many do, Bowdy.

7:48 am

Oops -- three year old is up and asking about "whay are you writing on the computer, Daddy?" Better be off for now -- later, all (bye, Krys! Hope work goes well!)

7:48 am

damn ... that means u have to get all words to win ... :( lol

7:48 am

LOL Haz, I was out all morning and was so lucky every time I needed tp kar I go a space in the shade, it was great!

7:48 am

*to park

7:48 am

have a good weekend, J!

7:49 am

I will -- elderkid and I are off on a "date" to see Over the Hedge. Off now -- bye, all.

7:51 am

you don't really "win" at this game, Bowdy

7:51 am

Could someone please tell me how many words there are today?

7:51 am

it's more the journey...

7:51 am

there are 213.

7:51 am

Thank you Krys

7:52 am

No, Atalante, it isn't that you DON'T win, it's that EVERYBODY wins!

7:52 am

good point!

7:53 am

does every1 get there from hinting to others or just because it's too easy?

7:53 am

fireworks! [bowdy - I use lickety's list and a2z! - unashamedly!!]

7:54 am

lots of hints. also, there's a list of the first letters of the words that some people use to help them along... click on "lickety's babble clues" at the bottom of this page

7:54 am

oh, its vastly easy. especially 400+ grids ...

7:54 am

*giggles*

7:54 am

There are loads of ways, have a look at Angelsongs page under freinds of babble and that will show you how.

yay, dip!

7:54 am

someone's feeling techey this morning :)

7:54 am

Bowdy, many people don't find all the words on any given day. Words are found by hints from other players, by two-letter lists that point you toward what to look for, and by sheer brainpower. :)

7:55 am

Ssshhhh Atalante, we haven't had one of that size for ages - don't tempt fate.

7:55 am

500+? :P

7:56 am

that sucks then cos the lists spoil the fun lol

7:56 am

please..not tomorrow..it's a busy day!

oh you naught siren,s you! LOL!

7:56 am

I'll have words woth you tomorrow if that comes true!!!! ;)

7:56 am

should be on brainpower not read and type power

7:56 am

Did the site stabilize a little?

7:56 am

So, Bowdy, don't use the lists, and everyone will be happy.

hey sprite! oh no - not AGAIN?

7:57 am

Hey sprite - it's been fine for the last hour.

7:57 am

hi sprite! i've been on for about 90 minutes and it's been fine. was it wonky?

7:57 am

Well, I'll try and finish then :)

7:57 am

some people don't use lists, Bowdy, and finish quite happily

7:57 am

Yes, went haywire, 3 times in a row.

7:57 am

Hi sprite - yeah - but it was down for a while. How you feeling? I seem to have the same bug...:(

7:58 am

well then those ppl deserve to finish

7:58 am

that seems to be happening more and more.. :(

7:58 am

Sorry to hear that, Dippnall :(

7:58 am

woot! I deserve to finish! sorry, you other guys ...

7:59 am

I need 13 more words, 3 of them 6s. Here goes nothing...

7:59 am

bowdy - I think it depends on the extent of the addiction - some of us just have to finish once we begin!!

7:59 am

yay atlante!

7:59 am

wow! I was just able to scroll through then entire log without hanging up. Maybe it's been fixed? Anyway Cliff, didn't mean to just disappear. Had to feed the furry beast. The blakcfly festival went beautifully-didn't rain until the evening. And yes, as you remarked, the rain seems to be too much for the nasty little critters and tehy are going away this year much more rapidly than usualy.

7:59 am

Addiction? I have NO IDEA what you are talking about.

7:59 am

hahaha fair enough

7:59 am

hahaha fair enough

7:59 am

oops

7:59 am

afternoon all, from a beautiful sunny London :D

8:00 am

Sherb! *hug*

8:00 am

hi sherb!

8:00 am

some people even finish without lists when English isn't their first language ;)

8:01 am

They must be mad then.

8:01 am

hi sprite, Atalante (((hugs)))

8:01 am

utterly

8:01 am

mad, gifted, where's the line? :)

8:01 am

Found one of those darn 6s. Yeah for me.

8:01 am

glad the festival was not rained out eva. am currently holding small furry beast in one arm, typing one-handed!

ooh - i see there's a ten!

8:02 am

awwwww small furry beast wants to play too!

8:02 am

A very beautiful, rather common, definitely-no-babblet 10-word, yes!

8:02 am

my cat is totally dissing this grid - i think she's more of a sudoku type too

8:02 am

actually, it works well with addiction - re10 addiction to babble

8:02 am

he has been a bit neglected lately .

8:02 am

Sudoko was too easy today.

8:03 am

i got stuck and had to come back to it, but then, i had too many cocktails with dinner last night

8:03 am

Hehe, you are better at it than I am, so I hold the cocktails to blame.

8:04 am

what does the 10 begin with?

8:04 am

sudoku was pretty easy ...

8:04 am

R, Eva

8:04 am

guess Eva! RE!

8:04 am

NO!

8:04 am

Eva, it's an R Sprite, I don't know if I am better... I use the green numbers which changes a lot

8:04 am

no - not no :P

8:05 am

no doesn't start wtih R

8:05 am

the en words are making me crazy!

8:05 am

Not NO, but Re. Krys: no matter how one does it, as long as it works!

8:06 am

although "entrail" is tempting...

8:06 am

i cannot believe i got the 10 just by hearing it was an re!

oh - why oh why did i even start today?

8:06 am

its the added kitten brainpower!

cliff: send those vibes out my way

8:07 am

En-words: there are only 3, Krys. One is a frequenter in the babble grids. One is followed by land surrounded by sea. And one has a great def: slight convexity or swelling, as in the shaft of a column, intended to compensate for the illusion of concavity resulting from straight sides.

8:07 am

must be kitten power - no other explanation

8:07 am

got the en6 right away... thanks for the help

8:08 am

is the qu in the 10?

8:08 am

Nope.

8:08 am

temple - re + one of the le 4/4s and then another le 4/4

got them ty!

8:09 am

ya....got it

8:09 am

tks cliff

8:09 am

yw - but probably should thank the kitten

8:10 am

I think I need added kitten power today. I can call upon it for another few days - Silverclaw is 1 next week and therefore a Big Grown-Up Cat!

8:11 am

sometimes i wish kittens could stay kittens. but i also enjoy watching them grow.

8:11 am

Big Grown-Up Cats have their own mystic powers.

8:11 am

Thanks Cliff!

8:12 am

brady says he will send kitten vibes to any who need them.

8:12 am

hopefully Big Grown-Up Cats are good at helping find 6 letter words. I suck at those

8:12 am

Same here. Still need one more.

8:13 am

One more 6 that is. And 7 other words.

8:13 am

50 s words, they are killing me!!!!

8:13 am

I still need far too many of them!

8:14 am

*does the done-with-vowel-words dance*

8:14 am

I left my last S till last. At least I will know then how many letters it is supposed to have. I just cannot think of any more S-words. Likely or unlikely. Monkeytyping or not.

8:14 am

I added some new tips to the resource page yesterday, in case anyone hadn't noticed.

8:17 am

Keep it up angel, always appreciated.

8:17 am

You're doing a great job with your page, Angel :)

8:18 am

thank you! It's a pleasure doing the page.

te 8 please?

8:18 am

Okay, last word, the S-word, is a 4. Impossible to ask clues for, therefore. Argh!

8:19 am

te8 = te4/4 + le4/4

8:19 am

Temple: no canvas.

8:20 am

is the di7 hard or obvious?

8:20 am

thanks, sprite!

ahh - a comppund word DOH!

8:20 am

Somewhere in between, Krys. You will have to stand.

8:21 am

oh dear, that would have been easier if I have the S4 to begin with !

the hazard of working backwards - habit from the old site

8:22 am

On the other hand, now you have 2 new words in stead of one, Krys ;)

8:22 am

three, actually, had missed teh sea creature as well

8:22 am

Monkey with the pretty fingers did again the job for me :)

8:22 am

congrats sprite1

8:23 am

yay! congrats :)

wtg, sprite!

8:23 am

Woohoo sprite!

8:23 am

This was a toughie. Thanks for the help and the fun! Any clues needed?

8:27 am

going once...

8:27 am

going twice...

8:27 am

brandy hasn't updated his pg in a couple days...i can't tell which of the 2 qu's i'm missing...does someone pose another list anywhere?

8:27 am

Look under Lickety link at the bottom of the page Cathyar

8:27 am

lickety's page - see link at the bottom

8:27 am

whoops...i'm missing 2 qu's

8:28 am

ok...tks

8:28 am

8:35 am

the Q6 is a food, a seed that is sometimes ground into flour. the last Q5/16 in the list means to suppress

8:36 am

got that on fmitch...maybe it isn't the last 1...hard to tell

8:36 am

last 5/16 is another word for strange/unusual.

8:37 am

ya...it's the food one i think i'm missing

8:37 am

the Q5 i just described comes after teh Q7 alphabetically

8:38 am

Ah missed that one sorry

8:38 am

8:39 am

the food one has me baffled...don't think i've heard of it b4

8:40 am

ahh...sorry...didn't notice the food one is the qu6...not a 5

8:40 am

The Q5's: two words that refer to women, one meaning odd, one to suppress, and one (5/18) to make a clever remark

8:40 am

it's a grain found in health food stores.

se8/55, please?

8:43 am

clue for the q7 while we're on the Q subject!

8:43 am

8:43 am

I am so stuck on my last SA5 - I have the one that means Indian wraps, but I can't find the other that is close to it in the list

8:44 am

tx Eva, I was miscounting my number of letters!

8:44 am

qu7 = the qu5/16 (odd one) but more so.

8:44 am

Im hunting that one too Krys, I'll let you know

8:44 am

indian wraps with the r changed?

8:44 am

8:44 am

I am missing a simple RO 4,4 word. I have the one about fish eggs, What am I not seeing?

8:45 am

Lions? ABC will it come before my fish eggs or after?

8:45 am

8:46 am

8:46 am

Good grief, I started with the wrong 'r'. Thanks

8:47 am

8:50 am

Any clues for the 2nd sa6/18 please

8:50 am

hmm, if the se8 has the same point value as the sq8...

8:50 am

is there also an se8/55?

8:51 am

right to-at least one of us has her wits about her

8:51 am

se7/40 adds a vowel to the follow up, then give it a latin plural for se8/55

8:51 am

clues for the se 5's? i don't have any :/

8:52 am

thanks haz!!!

8:52 am

8:54 am

Ahh, he must bee full of food or plants then LOL

8:54 am

8:56 am

No, but I'll go looking for you.

8:56 am

se 5's! please ?

8:56 am

thankyou!

8:57 am

the sa6 you're missing is a Persian musical instrument, FMitch

8:58 am

oh great :( Thanks Krys

mia: one se5 is a net: the other i am missing and would like a clue for.

8:58 am

You mean you're not up on your Persian musical instruments?

8:59 am

stay right down in the bottom left corner, FMitch

8:59 am

good morning babblers

8:59 am

a hole in my education exposed to the world!!!

8:59 am

good afternoon

lol mitch! i need the OTHER sa 6

8:59 am

lol

9:00 am

the other sa6 is a helmet

ooh krys - maybe that's the one i DO have...

9:01 am

sa6/18 - first three letters - stuff at the beach, then three letters of word for fatigue

9:02 am

The other sa6/18 rhymes with what artists use to mix paints on.

ty haz - and that is the instrument?

9:03 am

Phew, thanks Haz.

9:03 am

Oh, I don't know. I'll check the ? beside the word to find enlightenment.

9:03 am

No def HAz, just tried

9:04 am

then it's the instrument

9:04 am

No enlightenment - the first sa6/18 is the helmet, the second sa6/18 can't have been too popular.

9:05 am

any clues for the top a?

9:05 am

The sa that's an instrument has two alternate spellings that are probably more common than the one in this grid

9:06 am

the top a always reminds me of the word "flux"

and the indian stringed instrument is here today as well!

i think there's an sa after the plural indian garb trhat is eluding me

9:07 am

try going in the other direction - it's an antelope

9:07 am

yes, TO, like the French composer minus the final vowel

9:07 am

Past tense of sit, plus a vowel and then pluralise for the 5

ty! i acutally know that composer...amazing!

9:08 am

cool!

9:09 am

whoops, sorry TO thought you were looking for an s5

9:09 am

clues for the ai 5/10?

oh no! i do have those...it is above that after the indian garb

9:09 am

Is there one weird SA 4. I am missing a SA 4 and I don't know which one. I assume it's one that comes before being 'rational'.

9:10 am

sa** and pepper?

9:10 am

I've got the seasoning one.

9:10 am

plus the middle english form of the same seasoning

9:11 am

I have four SA that have the tall straight letter in the third position.

9:11 am

miametro, it sounds like i4,4

9:11 am

merk, i've got 5

9:11 am

just add a vowel at the beginning

9:11 am

i don't have any i's :/

9:12 am

I have tried every combination and can't find it.

9:12 am

3 4's and 2 5's

9:12 am

mia, think of brides or grocery stores

9:12 am

Its when you walk in the middle

9:12 am

clue for the i4.4

please - my last s word! there is 4/10 indian garb, then 2 5/10 in a row. oneis the plural. the other i can't find!

9:12 am

oh god. that was so simple...-smacks head-

9:13 am

I'm telling you, it's an antelope! head left and make a U-turn

9:13 am

there's an s4 between the 2 s5's

9:13 am

Uneaixoise, there are no other letters to put in the fourth position that aren't already used. I can't see what I am missing?

9:13 am

i4,4 is an island

9:14 am

TO - you're missing a 5, right?

9:14 am

sa5/10 - comes between the Indian garb and the composer - rhyems with a wash b****

yes, krys, i am!

9:14 am

do you have the sa5/10 that sounds like Lee Harvey Oswald?

9:14 am

Haz's clue is what i'm talking about

9:15 am

we're all cluing the same word for you, then

got it! the s words ar hissssstory!

9:15 am

woohoo!!

9:15 am

Yes, I have the Indian dress pl. and the Oswald. You mean there is an SA 4 between those two SA five words?

9:16 am

no, sorry, Merk, I was confused

9:16 am

Tell me then, does it come between the seasoning and the rational?

9:17 am

there's an sa6 between the seasoning the dress . . .

9:18 am

there's no s4 between the seasoning and the rational

9:18 am

Merk, major sleep deprivation--so sorry I'm been less than helpful!!

9:18 am

There is, krys... it means righteous in hindu

9:20 am

I have all the S's and I don't have an S4 between NaOH and rational

9:21 am

NaCl even :P

9:21 am

Have to put the shopping away and will be back later!

9:21 am

Krys is correct

9:21 am

off for a few hours of anti-sleep deprivation treatment .... back later too!

9:22 am

d'oh, sorry about the chemical gaff :) here are all the SA's - if you know which one you're missing I can clue you better. sa4,4 sa5,10 sa4,4 sa6,18 sa4, 4 sa4,4 sa4,4 sa6,18 sa4,4 sa5,10 sa5, 10 sa4,4 sa5,10

9:23 am

SA 4 a garage SA

9:23 am

SA 5 plural

9:23 am

SA 4 ends in double cons.

9:24 am

Then I need an SA 6? I'm missing that.

9:24 am

medieval helmet

9:25 am

the word after the double cons is sa6/18, a helmet

9:25 am

sounds like a wild green, poke sa**** :-)

9:26 am

Thanks, I have all the SA now. Whew! Without you ....

9:26 am

he didn't understand about trolls, he's never chatted online before

11:25 am

he was like "what's a troll?"

11:25 am

well, I hope he won't be discouraged...

11:25 am

and "maybe it's just someone who doesn't know what they are doing"

11:26 am

that's how I felt the first time a troll was in the log. This time, I got myself a reputation for being "assertive" LOL

11:26 am

go stid! :)

11:27 am

lol, that guy last night? what an annoyance

11:27 am

i said dad, trust me, if stidmama says to ignore them and they asked for my real name, that is DEFINITELY a troll!!

1:18 pm

i have loads of times !!!

1:19 pm

1:19 pm

I may have mistyped....ae+opposite of off.....

1:19 pm

1:20 pm

its taken it now how odd, the site is all over the place today

1:20 pm

i had that problem when i reloaded, not all of my words showed up in the word list

1:20 pm

1:24 pm

ar7?

1:25 pm

ar7 - possibly when you do not have any paintings

1:25 pm

thanks ange... doubting the wordiness of that

1:25 pm

piner

1:26 pm

Good afternoon all, why isn't antless a word?

1:26 pm

i don't know, i'm antless right now peri. how about you?

1:26 pm

is the pi 7 related to one of the other pi's?

1:26 pm

peri, i think piesale should be a word too

1:27 pm

isnt tassle also a real word?

1:27 pm

leslie - the ar is a word, if you are not manipulative you are ar7 (reverse last 2 letters rmm257)

1:27 pm

Try spelling it differently, rmm.

1:27 pm

yes ping built on the 4

1:27 pm

oh i guess i was thinking in the context of the clue

1:27 pm

rmm try the american spelling

1:27 pm

rmm257 - reverse the last two letters

1:27 pm

se8?

1:28 pm

thanks, hurshy

1:28 pm

se6/27 and add two vowels

1:28 pm

te7/28 and te8/40 anyone

1:30 pm

hi Anniebrook

1:30 pm

Hello, Anniebrook.

1:30 pm

yep - the se which is the follow up to a film or book,plus the first vowel then the second vowel

1:31 pm

LeslieAnn, I am antless too as well as te8

1:31 pm

more than one se6/27?

1:31 pm

read my lastclue

1:32 pm

te7 is the power of moving things with your mind minus the kine

1:32 pm

Maybe it means when you call your female sibling on the phone.

1:32 pm

man, we're pretty boring people, peri ;)

1:33 pm

hurshy and Vicuna, thanks

1:33 pm

(I wouldn't know; I've got only brothers.)

1:33 pm

great clue, vicuna

1:33 pm

I've found half of the 7's, but I can't get the other 5....So far I've got ar7/28, qu7/40, re7/44, se7/40, & the sp7/32.......what am I missing?

1:33 pm

No we are not, LeslieAnn, we play babble don't we, that alone places us in an elite group

1:34 pm

good point peri. i don't need no stinking ants.

1:34 pm

queenless

1:35 pm

scroll down to get the te 7 clue, mm

1:35 pm

me neither, LeslieAnn!!!

1:35 pm

My point being, here in the USA, we all are.

1:35 pm

pi7/32 - try the pi4/5 and add just one of Leslie Ann's stinking insects

1:35 pm

that is a good point, vicuna. thanks for bringing it up.

1:35 pm

CHS, ar, pi, and te, all have been mentioned quite recently ... clue on your sp7?

1:36 pm

oh you said ar... silly me.

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

1:37 pm

But, ummm, congrats Nadal???

1:38 pm

oggy - definition for the al7/28?

1:38 pm

The french open, leslieann--very very exciting match!!

1:38 pm

vicuna, we probably don't understand this b/c we're queenless

1:39 pm

hey i'm queenless too... well unless you count my cat mitten

1:39 pm

yes, Nadal continues his incredible winning streak--love that man!!

1:39 pm

I'm sure that's it, LeslieAnn. After all, Marie Antoinette invented tennis, right?

1:39 pm

(Or perhaps not exactly...)

1:39 pm

:-D

1:39 pm

i believe so, vicuna. us americans are smart.

1:39 pm

Marie Antoinette invented headless tennis...lol

1:40 pm

Well, we sherr ain't dum.

1:40 pm

hehe

1:40 pm

It never caught on, though, Ouwachita!

1:40 pm

hurshy...got a clue for the AL5/10???

1:40 pm

1:40 pm

1:41 pm

al5/10 - a straight pathway with trees planted along the sides

1:41 pm

alle

1:41 pm

peri - one who does sq 6,27

1:41 pm

*ponders vi's clue* sq8 - a pig is one

1:41 pm

(Add another e!)

1:42 pm

debbinla, thanks found it just as I saw your clue

1:42 pm

Thanks Vicuna....DONE...anyone need a clue??

1:42 pm

um, what about the al7 then

1:43 pm

al7 is pl of second al6, which is something or other from 9th grade genetics class...

1:43 pm

take the al5/10 and add another one of the consonants

1:43 pm

"one member of a pair of genes that occupies a specific position on a chromosome" Yeah, that's it.

1:43 pm

Brandyjack - are you no longer doing yours stats list?

1:44 pm

thanks vicuna

1:45 pm

So, today's theme is "Rainforest Creatures" the, eh.......? Refresh to find out what I am talking about...... *Laughs evilly*

1:47 pm

1:48 pm

So movieman, is that tarantula in a starring role?

1:48 pm

help with the 2 al6's and the al/7 please

1:48 pm

No, I just chose it in case there were any arachnophobes about......

1:48 pm

o'chita - so far i have 3 re's where the re is an actual prefix (a 7 and 8 combo, and a 5/10...), are there any more?

1:49 pm

How thoughtful of you!

1:49 pm

mine'th a pwetty bird

1:49 pm

I chose mine in case of orangutanophobes.

1:50 pm

I noticed the theme was "Rainforest Creatures" and so I thought, "here's my chance to be really, REALLY evil"......LOL

1:51 pm

Why can't I rereel?

1:51 pm

Well, as long as that's the most evil you get, you may yet make it to heaven.

1:51 pm

up to 100 words, time for another break

1:51 pm

o'chita? still here? did you see my re question?

1:52 pm

Give me a chance, Vicuna, I've only known Punster for 4 years!!!!!!

1:52 pm

I don't know, gramma. Have you tried untangling your line? (Ha ha.)

1:52 pm

HA!

1:52 pm

I got the 10!

1:53 pm

just got the 10 also

1:53 pm

congrats gramma ..... hint?

1:53 pm

Yay for gramma and Anniebrook!

1:53 pm

wait - got it!

1:53 pm

re10 - to be determined about something.....

1:53 pm

Just hang in there . don't give up . be re10 in your search

1:54 pm

re 10 when you are very persistant, you are re/10

1:54 pm

*persistent

1:55 pm

Why isn't 'leerer' a word?

1:55 pm

We just call them "dirty old men."

1:56 pm

lol

1:57 pm

al/7 paired chromosomes?

1:57 pm

do all the sp words have the same 3 beginning letters, or the same 4???

1:57 pm

English is a strange language...... For example: * We polish the Polish furniture. * He would lead if he would get the lead out. * A farm can produce produce. * The dump was so full it had to refuse refuse. * The soldier decided to desert in the desert. * The present is a good time to present the present. * At the Army base, a bass was painted on the head of a bass drum. * The dove dove into the bushes. * I did not object to the object. * The insurance for the invalid was invalid. * The bandage was wound around the wound. * There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. * They were too close to the door to close it. * The buck does funny things when the does are present. * They sent a sewer down to stitch the tear in the sewer line. * To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. * After a number of Novocaine injections, my jaw got number.

1:58 pm

inge - 3 yes, 4 no

1:58 pm

wow movieman...that's good!!!!!

1:58 pm

really good -

1:58 pm

And, of course, when hurshy goes listless, she is anything but listless.

1:59 pm

not by the time i finish, vi :)

1:59 pm

That is what I love about English. See what you can do with the same word, MM

1:59 pm

How close are you now, hurshy?

1:59 pm

32 left

2:00 pm

Ah yes, entering the "why did I start this, again?" phase.

2:00 pm

debbinia, I see you are a Mets fan. are you a transplanted new yorker? I live with Met fans. I, myself, am a true blue Yankee fan

2:00 pm

vi - i NEVER think that. i MUST babble, there is no question about it.

2:00 pm

True. I guess you demonstrated that amply with yesterday's effort!

2:01 pm

i'm a true blue met fan that lives in l.a.a - and i was looking forward to watching a double header while babbling - but it seems to be raining in ny ! sorry about the yankee fan thing :-)

2:01 pm

except when i'm in europe for five weeks. then i might not be able to babble much.

2:02 pm

What are will you be doing in Europe? Vacation?

2:02 pm

deb, it has been raining for days now. i will ignore your condolences about my Yankee fan status.

2:03 pm

how dreary ! i miss ny ..... but my mets are coming out to l.a. on monday - so i'll get a little fix

2:04 pm

thanks Hurshy, those German words will alwasy get me!!!! :)

2:06 pm

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

50, featherbee, don't forget the other box

hey everyone - just popping on for a few minutes while i grab something to eat before i have to take 2 dogs to vet, possible kennel cough

2:09 pm

helen i tried to get my dad to say hi to you last night but he wasn't so enthused about chatting

2:09 pm

lol, thanks for pointing that out hursh! i'm up to 18 of them, and feeling stalled already

2:09 pm

hi helen, hope all is well with your dogs

2:09 pm

i just travelled to italy - it's awesome - hope you have a great time

2:09 pm

hi helen

yeah hursh- you know you are in need professional help when you need to play babble by proxy, LOL

hiya feather, hi annie

2:11 pm

well helen, i just thought, if i could, i might as well. if it had been a big puzzle i wouldnt' have - or if i had known how the site was going to behave!!

kennel cough is just canine bronchitis, only the little one seems to have it & i know she caught it from son-in-law's new puppy - on the other hand, the new puppy must spend the entire weekend at the vet on a nebulizer!

2:12 pm

oops, kids are up, and now we're off to family mini-reunion. I'll be back later to finish.

so hursh - whaddya think, will the addiction run in your family now? lol

2:13 pm

bye, vicuna

2:13 pm

wow, a puppy on a nebulizer...i don't envy that vet!

i feel really bad for both bub (the son-in-law) & the puppy -cause she doesn't act at all sick & is as rambunctious (sp?) as get git-go!

2:14 pm

dunno helen - he seemed a little interested but working full time with a long commute leaves little time for babble

laptops!

2:15 pm

but he drives, not train...

redlights & laptops then

2:16 pm

lol, helen's gonna find a way!

yep feather, where there's a will, there's a way!

2:17 pm

he prob doesn't have that much will :)

2:17 pm

aww, i wanted "spidee" to work...

2:18 pm

lol, the letters don't even work that way now that i look more closely

ok, i greyed out 3 more boxes, still listless - 51 to go though

2:20 pm

oh helen, i did yesterday's listless!

2:20 pm

hi

2:20 pm

not going to do it today though, don't have the time later

2:20 pm

tonight's bunco night, weeeee!

gotta do some gardening when i come back & the next block is having a block party with live bands so i probabbly won't be back til later

wtg feather! i must go now, but i want to know what bunco is, it's one of those things often heard-little known for me - you must tell me all about it !

3:01 pm

lol, yeah hursh, i have that one too, yet am struggling with one of the 4/5s! for some reason, i hear jack nicholson (is that right? the shining guy) saying the word

Hi Stid

3:20 pm

heyFran, I have 91 to go. it's a tough puzzle. I've already gone to the list...

3:21 pm

hi munner! is that a capuchin?

3:21 pm

Clue for one of first two qu 5/16. I have the strange and the regal.

3:21 pm

i just went to the list with about 85 to go

3:21 pm

marcel was a capuchin...

3:22 pm

Yes, I'm a sucker for any kind of monkey. Whenever I used to tell my Vietnamese students I liked monkeys, they thought it was hysterical.

3:22 pm

then I feel better about the list if you did too Fran!

3:22 pm

hurshy, that is a lovely bird.

3:22 pm

I've been using the list since word 115.

3:23 pm

Munner, yeah, that's only because the Vietnamese kids thought monkies were delicious!

3:23 pm

Ditto on hurshy's beautiful bird

3:23 pm

the other qu is spelled differently from the regal by one vowel - it means quite the opposite of regal.

3:23 pm

munner, the regal has a different spelling,comes before the common one

3:24 pm

That was it. Thanks, Fran.

Leslie, if you love BB, you have to get the live feeds. CBS edits the show so much, they only show you what they want, so they can twist it their way. Live feeds let you see everything, well worth the money. If you are a fan that is :)

6:38 pm

it's like away from the wind, but you double the consonant

well, if its on my face, i'm calling the dr. and getting steroids

The only problem that you may have, Ev, is when attempting to use microsoft's website for downloads, etc... because they want you to use their products, obviously. But most other websites have come to their sense by now.

lynxxx, add on to di4/4, ** you like it

7:48 pm

Ah, I'm back.

7:48 pm

Now I need to remember where I was.

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

hi pwinn!

7:49 pm

hi pwinn!

7:52 pm

TY Fran and Mich and lynxxx!

7:53 pm

I'm missing an 'F' word. I've got the 4/8, 4/7, 5/16, 5/22, and 6/36.

Never mind.

7:53 pm

I'm a dummy.

7:54 pm

oh, pwinn, you aren't a dummy, we just get shell-shocked sometimes and can't see the nost in front of our faces :)

7:55 pm

Thank, Fran. Seems like I often need only ask to make myself see words.

7:55 pm

or the *nose

7:55 pm

Mich, I do that *a lot*

7:55 pm

btw, your icon is adorable

7:56 pm

Seems like everybody else here is female, so I threw something "cute" on there. My kids love it.

7:57 pm

not everyone, pwinn, but at least on the frappr map the fellas are outnumbered about 4 to 1...

7:57 pm

we have guys, but you're right that the majority are of the female persuasion. Your kids show good taste!

7:58 pm

stid, is that iris in your garden?

7:58 pm

My kids == girls. (Actually, I have a son, too, but he's five, so he doesn't think he has to prove he's macho yet.)

7:58 pm

the guys are never on at the same time either

7:58 pm

yes, one of the ones down near the orchard.

7:59 pm

I have flowers scattered all over -- I like to say there are moments of beauty in chaos (at least in our garden)

7:59 pm

pwinn, he can be the gruff bulldog who's caught being a big old softie, lol

7:59 pm

pwinn, have you seen the poem that goes along with that picture?

7:59 pm

I've seen other guys once or twice, but it seems rare.

7:59 pm

Nope, LA, can't say that I have.

7:59 pm

okay, I am stuck on the first la 5/10 please...

8:00 pm

la*** the cable guy

8:00 pm

stid, I'm going with that philosophy, too. the first la is an alt sp. of La**** the Cable Guy

8:00 pm

spelled differently of course

8:00 pm

hmmm, i will see if i can find it

8:00 pm

thanks Mich and Fran

8:00 pm

hey everyone!

8:01 pm

Hi, Maddie.

8:01 pm

la 5/10 - 6/18 combo please?

8:02 pm

how are we all?? how is the puzzle this fine day!!!

8:02 pm

that was the clue we gave stid

8:03 pm

The 6/18 is the plural of the 5/10, which we can't give you for f***. Er, with those at the end of la, of course.

8:03 pm

oh -- hm. I guess I got it wrong, but still got two words out of it! LOL

8:03 pm

it's not really a poem, just a story that leads up to pwinn's icon:

8:03 pm

ah ha! sound-alikes! got them. thanks.

8:03 pm

Dark and Stormy Night An incredible love story... They were together in the House. Just the two of them. It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly and each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump. She looked across the room and admired his strong appearance...and wished that he would take her in his arms, comfort her and protect her from the storm. She wanted that... more than anything. Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out... She screamed... He raced to the sofa where she was cowering. He didn't hesitate to pull her into his arms. He knew this was a forbidden union andexpected her to pull back. He was surprised when she didn't resist but instead clung to him. The storm raged on...as did their growing passion. And there came a moment when each knew that they had to be together. They knew it was wrong... Their families would never understand... So consumed were they in their passion that they heard no opening of doors...just the faint click of a camera......

8:04 pm

i knew you would stid

8:04 pm

down to 60 now! really zooming along today, LOL

8:41 pm

8:42 pm

hi scatty!

8:42 pm

hi scatty! I haven't seen you forever! I was a little worried. Are you okay?

8:42 pm

8:42 pm

I have those and the sesame oil.

8:42 pm

The thing used in golf

8:42 pm

don't have the french path al's, don't speak french

8:42 pm

The thing used in golf

8:43 pm

Sesame oil?

8:43 pm

aknitter, they are the away from the wind with the extra L ones

8:43 pm

Morning all - came back to finish - got shut out yesterday afternoon and couldn't get back on.

8:43 pm

so I think I'm missing the one after the golf gadget

8:43 pm

knitter-just take the away from the wind one and double the consonant and the vowels

8:43 pm

hi dianne!

8:43 pm

Hello Dianne!

8:43 pm

went to Holland for a week and been trying to sort out my greenhouse for the past couple of days, the plants went mad while i was away

8:43 pm

could I get a different clue for the sesame oil?

8:44 pm

te + do re me fa so ** ti do

8:44 pm

merk, there is one before the golf thing, just change last consonant, sounds like the color one

8:44 pm

oh, I hope you had a good time in Holland! what's blooming (there and in your garden)?

8:44 pm

sesame oil is the anagram of the story TA

8:44 pm

souns like the 1st te color harp

8:44 pm

Fran, that one is the sesame oil. sounds like the color. I have it.

8:44 pm

how many letters?

8:45 pm

4

8:45 pm

no 6/18?

8:45 pm

because of the outrageous rains here the plants all look as if they are on steroids. And the last of the tulips got blown away in the wind and rain.

8:46 pm

the petunias have flowered as the slugs for some reason don't like them, i've been told to buy some grapefruits, the slugs prefer them to the flowers , anything is worth a try, every morning a plant has been eaten

8:46 pm

and na 5/10 also...

8:46 pm

ok, let me ask this another way, is the sesame oil AL4?

8:46 pm

I have the color, the crying, the sesame oil that sounds like the color, the golf gadget. Then I think I am missing one before we move on to the one that means web-like

8:46 pm

no te 4

8:46 pm

stid, the NA rhymes with Indian clothing

8:46 pm

oh man -- that's no good. The slugs got all my zinnias this year....

8:47 pm

na 5/10 -- lika a nostril

8:47 pm

You think there is a mistake in the puzzle? Gasp!

8:47 pm

hey everyone!

8:47 pm

na5/10 - think French city

8:48 pm

TY Ping and knitter!

8:48 pm

their favourates at the moment are the asters, followered closely by the marigolds

8:48 pm

Lickety says there are nine TE 4 words. I have found eight and the ninth one is driving me crazy.

8:48 pm

I thought marigolds killed slugs

8:48 pm

wishful thinking

8:48 pm

tent

8:48 pm

merk did you get the one that rhymes with the color at the beginning?

8:48 pm

eep - sorry

8:48 pm

there are 9 merk

8:49 pm

I am not even trying asters this year -- but marigolds are usually safe here.

8:49 pm

caravan, dino -- I don't like sleeping on the ground...

8:49 pm

yes, there are 9

8:49 pm

So I think I've figured out that I am missing the one after golf gadget and before the one that means weblike and its plural

8:49 pm

te - color, te - cry, te - oil, te - golf thing, te- phone, te- to blab, t4 - canvas home (there are 7 that I have)

8:50 pm

i swear all the sliugs in the country are lining in my garden, they even managed to get over the line of salt last night

8:50 pm

I have been on battery power and about to run out. Going to shut down for a few and back soon. :-)

8:50 pm

wow scatty

8:50 pm

te - web thing makes 8

8:50 pm

one TE is a homonym for the color

8:50 pm

te4/4, t+slippery fish

8:50 pm

see you later stid

8:50 pm

and then the plural

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

te+abbrev of Louisiana

8:51 pm

merk-color,rip,other spelling of the color,golf things,phone,boob tube,say,plural of hill,camping thing

8:53 pm

9:23 pm

Eva - you've been caught ............

9:24 pm

no fair checking to see if I'm still online...it's a gradual withdrawal, first I stop talking but lurk, then I stop lurking, then I check the weather report-more rain, how surprising-and then I shut down the computer. can I have just one more story and a glass of water?

9:25 pm

once upon a time, Eva, there was a very sleepy girl. She was trying to stay up late, and later. And then she decided she had stayed up late enough. She walked to the kitchen and got herself a lovely glass of water. She walked to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She walked to her bed and fell sound asleep...

9:47 pm

9:47 pm

i understand, sometimes i don't want clues until i've exhausted my options

9:47 pm

9:54 pm

merk... i believe fran and i both gave you clues for the one you need, then

9:54 pm

mag: it's the plural of a genetic thing. take one of the al 6/18's and make it plural

9:54 pm

di 7/21 anyone?

9:54 pm

ar7 - not manipulative

9:54 pm

thanks fig

9:54 pm

merk - you need the plural of to say something minus one of the double consonants

9:55 pm

Looking at lickety, there are three TE 4 words between the cryer and the one that means weblike. I am missing one in there. Help please. I need to go to bed.

9:55 pm

i'm mising a qu 5/16. i have the royal one, the odd one, and the one to calm something.

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

But if TE you something and take away one of the consonant, I have a three letter word.

9:55 pm

got it hurshy!

9:56 pm

take it away from the 5/10 merk, as i said

9:56 pm

fig, di 7/32 is to make someone stand up

9:56 pm

Good grief!! I had one in the wrong box. I needed a plural of the homonymn. Thanks for much for making me think straight. I'm finished and must go to bed. I'm doing a half marathon tomorrow.

10:17 pm

yeah, sure. "hi, my name is sarah and I'm a babbleholic

10:18 pm

ROFL

10:19 pm

it all depends on your point of view. some see it as addiction, but i prefer to think of it as steadfast loyalty, devotion, and steely determination.

10:19 pm

that reminds me of a simpsons quote: (Dr. Hibbert told Homer he was a rageaholic) Homer- "oh, its true! i can't live without rageahol!"

10:19 pm

lol froelica

10:19 pm

some people have a steadfast loyalty to heroin

10:20 pm

10:21 pm

10:22 pm

bye hurshy! good night!

10:22 pm

ok, help please?? i need the last se 6/27 and a random se 4/4 in the middle (right before the 4/7 I think)

10:23 pm

wish I had time to enter the fray today, but no. Hope to see y'all tomorrow...

10:23 pm

i'm looking for se8 please?

10:23 pm

hey everyone... I'm back. Got one kiddo in bed and the other in the tub... time to sneak in some babble !!!

10:23 pm

missing an sa5/10. i have: plural of a bargain, plural of a wrapped cloth dress, plural of what sounds like a major high school test and a vowel

10:23 pm

hi Jillibus! hope you had a lovely day today!

10:23 pm

seas

10:23 pm

think- on a gaudy dress (is that spelled right?)

10:24 pm

oh duh! vegas betty!

10:25 pm

al 6/18 please

10:25 pm

se 8? please?

10:25 pm

se8?

10:25 pm

jeffer there are 2 al 6/18's

10:26 pm

(vegas betty, that's what we called connie before we liked her...)

10:26 pm

another spelling of the wrapped dress, feather

10:26 pm

that's great : )

10:26 pm

o ok can i have the one i'm missing?

10:26 pm

1st al 6 = al 5/10 plural

10:27 pm

renfield, i think the second one, please

10:27 pm

hi jeffer.

10:27 pm

hi stidmama

10:28 pm

se 8? (still)

10:28 pm

se 8 is the 6/27 + latin pl

10:28 pm

I have 12 left, btw!

10:28 pm

2nd al 6/18 =al 5/10 insert consonant ( sounds like the places found between buildings in the city)

10:28 pm

stid, take your 7/40 and add a vowel

10:29 pm

ty renfield!

10:29 pm

i'm not getting your clue for the sa5/10...i think i have the one you mean. it's like the wrapped dress, just one consonant different?

10:30 pm

ok...i've tried the se6 with an ai and an ea on the end...neither works and i see no other way??? help...i guess i need the phish slap

10:30 pm

me too cathy... feather, instead of a single last vowel, a double vowel on the end

10:31 pm

33 to go!

10:31 pm

double vowel on the end doesn't work...they're used up

10:31 pm

i bet you can finish with time to spare!

10:31 pm

ae

10:32 pm

se 8 - add the 2nd vowel to se 7

10:32 pm

stid????? i'm so confused! lol! with the word i'm working with, (sounds like you're apologizing when you say it) there's no way to add a double vowel

10:32 pm

i should probably take a shower sometime today.... be back in few

10:33 pm

it worked with the ae jeffer, but it doesn't logically fit in the puzzle as the e for the ae is used in the first part of the word...

10:33 pm

once again, jeffer to the rescue! cathy did you catch that?

10:33 pm

see ya!

10:33 pm

ya...i caught it, but it isn't workable as far as the letter layout goes, but the word worked

10:33 pm

tks jeffer anyhow

10:33 pm

yw

10:34 pm

the first e is used as the second letter in the word..therefore...it cannot be used again

10:34 pm

ok stid and cathy, start with what Mission Impossible II is called...a se**** (se 6/27). add a vowel for the 7/40, add yet another vowel for the 8/55

10:34 pm

but...it was... i think dr. god messed up this time or else my eyes deceive me

10:34 pm

we got it feather

10:34 pm

ok

10:34 pm

tks tho

10:35 pm

i'm still lost on that sa 5/10

10:35 pm

I am missing an se 4/4 (hangs head in shame) after the se 6/18...

10:35 pm

it goes up not down

10:35 pm

oh.......sheesh...i see it now... i went in the wrong direction with the "l".... hit me with 50 phish

10:35 pm

cathy, i see what you mean. had me fooled for a minute too.

10:36 pm

wow...that was a toughie

10:36 pm

nvm, it was a fish!

10:36 pm

stid, do you have the spanish number?

10:36 pm

10 to go!

10:36 pm

go sitd

10:36 pm

31 here stid!

10:37 pm

wassup...we both have our dogs as our icons...guess that makes our way of seeing that word the same at least...lol

10:58 pm

good morining everyonew

11:02 pm

I know -- I always wanted one, but all I got was a little brother. LOL

11:02 pm

hi aleksia

11:02 pm

one thing about this grid--almost all the letters are one point. makes it easy to figure out the values. For example if a 5 letter word is 12 points, it must contain p or d. no other choices

11:02 pm

go wassup go!

11:02 pm

http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/

11:03 pm

and all i got was the sibling ending!! 2 of them

11:03 pm

just found a fun link, listed below

11:03 pm

but, it also makes it hard to sort out the ones that are all made with 1 point letters harp!!

11:04 pm

that's cool harp!

11:05 pm

did things just freeze up or are we just being quiet?

11:05 pm

yes fran, that's the down side

11:06 pm

lol, i bet a lot are doing that scribble!

11:06 pm

we're all thinking, or playing scribbler

11:06 pm

ok, back to grid...i only have the first en

11:06 pm

feather -- you need to finish!

11:06 pm

lol i know!

11:08 pm

the next en (en 7): en + british abbrev. for ""Thanks Alot" +not brother (for real this time)

11:08 pm

the last en5: en +spanish for "aunt"

11:08 pm

got em!

11:09 pm

i'm missing stupid le ones...i'll tell ya in a few if i don't get em

11:09 pm

I'm missing an SE 4 - it's in between spanish for 6 and to exchange an item for money

11:09 pm

feather, i have missing LEs too

11:11 pm

ping, there isn't one in between those two words

11:11 pm

spanish 6 is se 4/4, then there is another 4/4, then there is a 5/10... Ping is that 4/4 what you are looking for?

11:11 pm

ok, i'm missing the second le 5/10...maybe that one will help me figure out where the le 4/4 is i'm missing

11:11 pm

i'm gonna go watch tv for a few, give the spider some time to chill out and reflect on why he wants to attack me. be back at the flip!

11:12 pm

maybe it's the se4/7 that sounds like a place to put your valuables

11:12 pm

later froelica

11:12 pm

le 5/10: sierra le***

11:12 pm

featherbee, sierra le***

11:13 pm

Fran, my head is not big enough for both of us!

11:13 pm

stid, i must have things mixed up - looks like i do have that one - hang on

11:13 pm

see you froelica

11:13 pm

i'm embarrassed to say i have no clue what that might be!

11:13 pm

maybe you're in mine, i have a splitting headache right now!!

11:14 pm

featherbee, le+opp of off+E

11:14 pm

11:14 pm

11:14 pm

okay, now I think the one I'm missing is the SE between visionary and sounds like where you keep valuables

11:15 pm

bye ashley

11:15 pm

i was missing the le 4/4 that is a plural of flower necklaces....stupid thing is i was wearing one all night at bunco tonight!!!

11:16 pm

there isn't one in between those either, but there is an se4/4 that sounds like a barking animal

11:16 pm

no, I think you want the one before visionary... past tense of "views" and then there is a homophone of the first se 4/4 before that....

11:17 pm

did Cathy leave after all?

11:17 pm

1st le 4?

11:17 pm

fran, the one with with a ball on its nose - i have that one

11:17 pm

11:17 pm

wassup, le+mr gore

11:17 pm

thanks, could swear i'd tried that

11:17 pm

na 5/10 was not easy for me...

11:18 pm

i think it may be hard because there are soooo many one point choices!

11:18 pm

i still haven't figured out how sq 8/55 can be worked into the grid. don't bother now but please someone explain after the flip -- or before if you're not in a rush!

11:18 pm

sort of like the "nose" one, na +anagram of sir

11:19 pm

got it, ty

11:19 pm

hi jill -- there are three Es all together. you can make the word if you use the top two Es first and save the lower one for last.

11:19 pm

no 6/18?

11:19 pm

i'm not sure i understand your question jill, sq 8 means "those who sq6" which means "the sound a pig makes"

11:19 pm

home stretch here, only 6 left

11:20 pm

no + vowel + opp or brother again...

11:20 pm

jill, start with the top S, head NE, then W,SW,N,NE and end at the first R

11:22 pm

blahh

11:22 pm

Oh thanks. I haven't learned the trick of thinking diagonally and upside down like the dilbert person! Whoof.

11:22 pm

I'm still missing an SE word - i have circus animal, grill word, oceans, chair, homonym for circus animal, visionary, sounds like valuables box, spanish for 6, and trade for money - help?

11:22 pm

those are SE 4s by the way

11:23 pm

sa 6/18 which one? the first sounds like the greens you eat with dinner. The second starts like mr Claus and ends like "one who" with an i instead of an e

11:23 pm

ping, past participle of to see

11:23 pm

missing the greens one...

11:23 pm
