yes ma'am
funny stuff
can i just say how perfect my house is right now? both kids are asleep on the couch (long day) and snoring. I'm babbling with a beer and hubby's out scaring the holy crap out of himself watching the omen

holy crap, look at the time. think i'll be going to bed. good night all!
thanks. too many! :)
see you tomorrow leslie. i know i will....
goodnight leslieann!
later Leslieann
hehe naughty word...
so I was just wondering...is this game played by predominantly females?
i think so chi
yeah, i think so chiunit. at least the ones who chat are mostly female
huh...so that makes me a minority doesn't it?
ORRR maybe it's just the females that chat more?
Chi, i'd say that's the majority that CHATS, but who knows who's playing... ;)
my hubby and son really like to play, too
201 words in 35 minutes, I think we've done our work for the night. G'night all, we'll see you in the morning!
either way, I'm a minority...as I am the only guy chatting...or rather, who has presented himself
my hubby sneers at babble and makes comments about me babbling all the time.
hello sir. welcome
chiunit...we have quite a few male friends who chat and enjoy their company so don't be shy :)
good going JaiKnut!
my husband plays but doesn't chat
my hubby sneered until we sat down and did it (babbling) together...
oh believe me, I'm not shy, more curious than anything else
i'm here too, chi
he would be really bad at it. i keep telling him to prove me wrong, but he wont try. (doesn't like failure i guess...) :)
hooray anders and welcome chi!
hahaha, so two guys in the chatterbox
ahhh, now i know what the little person is in blue or pink. DUH. I never noticed before.
i'm just quieter than the lassies
lassies...ha! :)
I'm sure this all has something to do with the male sense of ego and pride. They don't want help, clues or otherwise, nor do they want distractions from their relentless efforts of defeating the puzzle...on their own terms no doubt
are you calling us loud anders? :P
lassies... that reminds me of lady and the tramp (disney)
YEAH, WE'RE REALLY QUIET MOST OF THE TIME
i love reading your chat, but you are all so fast! how do you find words as well?
i dont anders...
we're supposed to find words??
women are great multi-taskers anders! that's why we have the children ;)
lol kierlex
born multitaskers? (either that or we don't finish as fast as you) :)
Hi
anders, we found words fast cuz there are two of us working togehter (my mom and I) otherwise, I'd probably still be stuck back at 100
hi worder!
hi worder1
i multitask all day. 2 kids. nuff said
I think my late night ADD helps me multitask
ah, Jai has a trick up his/her sleeve...
i still have 200 to go. it feels impossible
her and her. I am serious, its Jaianniah and Knutmeg. :-)
i still have 233 left. i'm really slow tonight. beer. that's it
m or f doesn't matter new study says this is the best game for altzeimers.
201 to go here anders...hang in there!
bah! tricksters you two are! ;P
ahhh, good idea. Actually i kept reading your name as Jail-Knut
I still have 306 left...but then again, I don't have school tomorrow...erm...later today
nesn
sweet worder! i have an excuse? :)
it's not impossible anders, just keep plugging away
don't feel bad anybody, i have NEVER EVER finished one of these in over a month!
the words aren't too hard at least
kierlex...this could be your "ONE"
I've never ever finished one...period...lol
i finish about 10 percent. usually at the last second
i rarely finish myself kier, use the list if that's the goal (although i've done it twice w/out)
kristinc... i am feeling the doubt...
maybe we should start a separate club for nonfinishers!
*pushing the doubt back down*
can i be president?
i just get aggravated at the words like 'dytnpdk' and 'fnapgij'
there are no club officers
ywis still pisses me off
it's an anarchist kind of club =)
is ywis a word?
sweet! i'm into that.
yes?
see i chat too much that's why i never finish
yeah, it's a babblet as they call them
ywis, oorie, etc
however, there are club dues and you can send your $34.99 membership directly to me thro paypal.
damn, can't join that club then...
for you wassup, my special friend, a deal, tonight only.... $9.99
well passed 300 left...>_<
lol kierlex...you can do it!
apart
okay guys...out with the big words...who has them?
Hey alll! how's the weather in Portland, Wassup? my hubby is headed there tomorrow...
i have 148 = 178 to go, and I am slowing down
do i get the 5 sided cheese grater as the special promotional offer?
only if you call within the next thirty seconds
rasta not found? mon!
chic, it's beautiful right now. well, it's dark RIGHT now, but was sunny and nice all day
oooooooh i unintentionally got one of the 9 letter words!
Hi Kristinc, I have a st 8/50 and a st 9/72....
can I pay my dues in 3 easy payments of $9.95?
if you call now, this special ginsu knife set.
ya mon...no rasta
hi chic! thanks for the words, I'lll start looking now :)
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.....
and a slotted spoon?
well Kristinc, if you call in 15 seconds with the proper credit etc, we'll double your order absolutely free!
thanx for the weather report, wassup...;-)
sure!
Hello all
thats right, twice the amout of five-sided-cheese-grating-fun for half the cost!
where's hubby going?
yes! *looks for the phone*
lol chi
and i'll throw in this cubic zirconium encrusted Babble Dictionary! All the gibberish words you can think of! Like YUDLGH and VRNNTCH!!
i mean where in portland that is...
LOL
Wassup, he's going to wilsonville actually on biz to Phelps Dodge..
What do u know, its a new list
yudlgh and vrnntch, good new words
and forced sexual intercourse? who put that in there?!
kier...don't forget to include the word pfft! (the lamest babbleword ever)
and the man tool to do it with
they're good strong words, something I would name my child
oh yes... PFFT
if i lived in russia
yep, that's a babblet
wow...thanks kierlex...didn't see that one comming
kristinc, i challenge thee - "brrr" was the lamest :)
you've never heard of pfft?
man tool. hehe
i read something that made fun of Brangelina's baby's name and wondered how long it would be before the poor baby would be known as 'Piloh Shit' lol
never thought I'd say this w/ those particular words but thanks for the clues chi and kier!
HAHAHAHAHA
see, this is why guys are scared of chatting...man tool...>_<
well if pfft is a word, why ain't AINT
Can i have some clues please?
or rasta
I don't blame you chi!
clearly cuz aint is a contraction of "ai not" a phrase commonly used in english vernacular
want fries with that?
if you send in your visa card now, you can have all the clues you want! please call 1-555-666-CLUE
pffffffft whatever
bull beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
have an st 7 tied to an st5
just kidding
chi, my daughter says willnt. it's her own made up contraction
I'll take fries
any clues on the nine letter words at the moment?
what kind of clues are you looking for edendaman
edendaman, we're loopy. pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
mmm...fries
A word worth 5 points starts with "t" sooo obvious
hrm...I'll have to give that contraction some thought and talk to Mr. Webster about having it incorproated
mmm...fries is right!
kk wassup
one of the 9s goes off of the tr7/28
one that moves often tr9/54
damn it! You're making me hungry!
james took over the computer for a long time, but i'm back to babble
ooh. french fries. yummmmy
it makes perfect sense. i am having to explain our screwed up language to her now that she's learning to read.
santa isnt a real word apparently
halloooo ashley
Miss ABS, when things come to a stand still, they are st 8 and past tense st 9...
halooo halooo!!
thanks for the clues
thanks for the tr 9
awesome, thanks for the 9
halo indeed?
really now, I think nats is a word.
i only havce 5 points :S
try it with a g, wyrd
i mean have
who gave the tr 9 and when? what did I miss?
managed the tr 9 still haven't gotten the st8 or 9
speaking of man tools, nads should be a word...
dangit, who mentioned fries??
man dieting sucks. i want to eat the pizza in the fridge but NOOOO. i'm eating carrots and cucumber. still good, but not as satisfying
moi
Stop talkin bout fries :@
thers another word for ya
WHA?
dieting does suck.
yeah, who ever craves lettuce and broccoli? BARF. hand me the prime rib
Miss ABS, think dank water
nads might be a word but not in this puzzle...
you're a lady after my own heart kierlex...
:o
ah thanks firefly
and now I'm REALLY FREAKING HUNGRY!
hehe, firefly
nevermind, I got the tr 9 myself, ooo chocolate eclairs...
Thanks for the two nines got them off the clues.
firefly - that did it for me for the st 8 and 9 - thanks
what r they Miss ABS?
you're welcome, all
im desperate
here, something to fix the appetite...my dogs are farting again. in their sleep. i'm going to have to leave the room
that'll do it!
lol
oh gross wassup. if i want that action i will go downstairs where hub is sleeping =)
I think I scared Kierlex away...^_^
gross wassup! lol
oh nvm
i'm serious. gagging. the kids are sleeping right through it.
what what what?
u can't scare me
nothing, a figment of my imagination I'm sure
Tell me Miss ABS, give me a clue for a 8 letter word
ya'll are making my hungry! (with the exception of the dog farts)
edendaman the first was a tr9 that is the past of the tr7/28
edendaman, think about what kind of water mosquitos breed in
kristinc, you have a great excuse to eat though!
ok??
is the water clue for a tr or ??
the other 8 means to stand still... st8/50 and the st9/72 is the past tense of that... think dank water
st
whats dank water?
would the first four letters of this st9 be a male deer?
lol
Indeed it would Chi
kierlex...true (but then I have to actually get up and prepart something)
got it, I was thinking wrong tense
Miss ABS, do you know who i am?
prepare
by the way edendaman I thought your dad had a meeting? and that's why you took off early?
I was thinking -nant, rather than -nate
my B
yeah
me too chi
haha, you know who i am!! :D
course I do.
teehee
hi all - just got home from a pleasant evening and am dropping in for a brief encounter
heh, i was thinking buck for male deer. doh!
hi jillibus!
But next time before you leave early, you're going to have to bring a note.
My dad had a author meeting or somethin like that
lol, survey says...I'm sorry, but thats incorrect Kierlex
ok
hello jillibus
okay, almost halfway there so that will do it for tonight. Thanks for the fun. enjoy your evenings/mornings :)
i want salt & vinegar chips and some dark chocolate
doh! a deer! a female deer!
that sounds heavenly
gnite kristinc and gnite to baby!
I THINK I'VE HAD TOO MUCH CAFFEINE
night kristinc
anyway I'm off for now it's about time for me to head out and do some work. Good luck all.
By the way Miss ABS, im not going ot be here on friday but my dad will give you a note
By the way Miss ABS, im not going ot be here on friday but my dad will give you a note
night kristin
bye for now
oops, leaving after kierlex delivers her chips and chocolate...brick house,...Seattle, I'm waiting :)
night missabs
cya
bye for real now :)
sarah, goin to the beach this weekend. gonna pick me up some sour apple salt water taffy... good god.
ok kristinc, i can be there in 6 hours unless the passes are clogged with mud
miss abs, that was a great thing you didwith those kids - ple say hello to them now that they are being good. It's an amazing world to have that incident happen instantly across continents!
I'm craving prime rib...or ribs...or...*Drool*
that actually sounds good. i don't even like salt water taffy
i've got drool chi
what happened jilibus?
i dont either. this stuffs totally different. and i can ONLY find it at bruce's candy kitchen
i am just craving whatever is NOT available in my kitchen
sorry about the bad typing -- late hour, wine-darkened
pick me up 2 or 3 please?
ribs or taffy?
i have a half rotten pear and 2 of the smallest peaches i've ever seen.
taffy please. ribs wouldn't keep well
especially in a car
well if you would be so kinda as to deliver me anything better than the stuff in my fridge, I'd be much obliged...
prime rib flavored taffy....
wow wassup...thats appealing...
2 kids got into the chat and rather disrupted things. Miss abs is their teacher and got wind of it. She made them apologise - from Australia to the US and Canada.
did anyone else really want to chew some of that meal-gum in willy wonka? (old version)
it's my new weight loss plan. if there's nothing to eat, i won't eat it
can i interest anyone in the 20 bbqd hotdogs i have in the refrig, leftovers from my son's bday party?
YES?!
ohhhh, i was here that night. it was lucinda or something like that? wow, that is cool
yeah, we were having so much fun with her
lucinda that is
here you go... dogs and buns and kraut and onions and the works.
when did the apology take place? same day?
oh damn that sounds good
plllllz gimme a word
*Stomach growling* ok seriously I need food...brb
I think MANT should be a word, did nobody else see that awesome movie?? =)
nope
ME TOO KIER!
what a grid! got 200 - bbl :)
i need to shut the heck up and start babbling
i thought the fat people were normally jolly
apology from the two took place the same day. the next day maddie came back on the chat and did so again, asking for help with an 8-letter word. Miss Abs has used this site for broadening horizons and I think it's up to her to go on if she wants to.
nah...fat people are generally unhappy
yeah, i need to get the kids in bed and clean up before josh gets home from his night of debauchery
oh yeah, and in my great quest I have found bupkis...
mmmm debauchery...
thank you jillibus - i was hoping for a good outcome, i'll peruse the logs to get the whole gist
mmmm...bupkis?
i need to figure out a few minute introduction to some board i am applying for tomorrow...
did you want some kierlex? i can fedex it
do you take C.O.D.??
ok, i'm really going. bye everyone. ashley, say hi to james
bye wassup
later wassup
Hello tonight to everyone.... just popped in to hammer out a few words.....
by wassup. hey you should write 666 and your forehead for hubby
k bye
hi blaze, welcome to the rumpus
or an upside down cross, that a big fav too
rumpus room!
is that in the omen? i haven't seen it yet, nor the original
its just a typical satanic symbol
since the cross=christ, the upside down cross=?
hi blaze - where in BC? i'm there too
ahh. her hubby is seeing the Omen tonight
yeap
though I dunno how good it'llbe
I was supposed to see it tonight
My icon is not coming up....wheredo I go to update it??
they never make good scary movies
i see yur icon, blaze
well The Omen is a remake, and generally, remakes are bad. As for the original, it was very good and scary, for its time...that was, what...the '60s?
Hmm... I refreshed and still don't see it.... I will try going out and back in again...
not sure, my parents were insanely religious so we just learned about that stuff at CHURCH like it was REAL. eyeroll
blze, is it a beach umbrella?
lol, see thats why I am proud to be an athiest
amen to that!!
Yes it is a beach umbrella.... I still have a blank... I will email Dr> G..... Thank you
so we will have an anarchist atheist non babble finishing club
basically I won't speak out against your god, just leave me the hell alone, and get off my front porch...lol...Jehovahs witnesses
blaze did you totally exit your browser?
well it's getting a little insane in the world, re. religion...
Yes I did
ok, that's the extent of my computer literacy =)
yeah thats true
thank you for your assisstance....
the fact of the matter is, most of the killings committed in this world are based around the premise of "my imaginary friend is better than yours"
did you kick your computer, blaze? just a little? sometimes that works.
chi you chould read the book 'the end of faith: religion, terror and the end of reason' by sam harris
I usually unplug it and beat it with the cord....
one thing he says that i liked was 'imagine a world in which people killed each other over how their interpretation of what Star Wars means differed from someone else's interpretation of what Star Wars means' ... and then well that's basically what is happening
sure thing
blaze - i got your icon - did you get mine?
good idea blaze!
I just borrowed "Dude, wheres my country" by Michael Moore
gapes gape
ahh that is interesting
guts
trug
jillibus!
jillibus stoppppppppppp
jilli yes I can see yours and a few others..and some arelike shadow figures
Blaze, I can top you, I've thrown a computer out of a second story window...and then proceeded to beat it to death with a hammer
oh dear! head hanging in shame
jeez chi, that's aggravated battery on a computer corpse
lol jillibus
Chiunit.... you must of had the early windows...
yeah...oh well, the po po's have yet to catch me, though if they got their hands on the videotape...
actually Blaze, it was a copy of Office Space
ah they would probably say it was justifiable homicide
or self defense
or you could use the twinkie defense
I'll have you know that a 3 1/2 floppy between the eyes can be fatal
it was just an early veresion of virus protection...
isolate and kill
ok. must go forage for snacks
I'm off to bed
hopefully I'll wake up around lunch time...and be able to eat something
g'night all
gnite chi square
8 more of these puppies and then im going to bed...
what is the grand total of words?
326
thank you
and there are 4 8 letter words and 4 9 letter words
not sure if anyone else has noticed this but the last 3 boards have been repeats of boards in the last month -is this some glitch?
i hadn 't noticed... but i still can't get all the words lol
me neither
326?! I think this classifies as an unhealthy obsession!
yes, it is listed onthe DSMIV Rev. as an obsessive compulsive type 3
how many words tonight?
*scrolls down* oh, nm. holy crap!
326 words + 3am = not doing this one. yipe.

A clue for what, louie?
thanks
yi 4/6 the opposite of "yangs"
anything. i need words!!
No, really, for which word?
any long ones!!lol
louie, there are 326 words there - help yourself, they're free <giggle>
sorry, it's 3 AM and I had foot surgery today. I meant plurals
Shoot, I only have three words over six letters
de 7/36 leaves
4 letter words are my specialty
gart
durn!!! sorry bout that
di 7/32 afar
thanks all you guys your all so helpful
I'm missing one nine...(plus 211 other words, but that's not important now)
I have the st and the two tr
whats the other tr9?
I only have the 1 tr9 from the clue you gave us, Matty.
sorry
I havew a tr7/28and a st7/32 if that would help
st 7/32 please
Both TR 9's are from the same root - one means to be (say) homeless or on the move, the other is if you take (say) the subway, you are using mass tr7/28 - then past tense that.
ok now im confused!
didn't know that was proper tense... thanks
st 7/32 = dark furniture is usually st****
thanks heaps nef!!
wow. i'm an idiot... i had that!
any more clues???
tr9/60 makes a noun into a verb, tsk tsk
well, once I DO get over 100+ words, I seem to forget I've already added some words to my list -- MANY times! :)
still do not understand the homeless tr 9
how about saying tr9 is on the move
typed too soon. got it!
Moon they are not bums anymore, the more "PC" word is Tr***
slightly over half way, time for a break! back later :)
are there only 2 di 7/32s?
You know the st 7? If you take the last two letters of the end and move them to the front, it gives a whole new word!
Now someone explain to me what it means?
oh
to hate
Wait . . . there are TWO di 7?
using "shout" or any other prewash to get grass st*** out?
sam
wow ive been on babble for a long time im gonna have a break to clear my head
the word you wondered about is to remove what you did
ill be back soon
moon, The "to hate" clue is di 7/32
Gotcha, thanks.
i have "to hate" as de 7/32
if some one would give me a clue for 1 more NA in upper rt, i could go to bed.... LOL
This "to hate" clue is totally eluding me
have siesta; and the neck ones
can you hint a bit more about the hating?
de 7/32 is same as using "shout" on some clothing
samantha - di7 = di + what happens when you put ketchup on th shirt
oh. hahaha.
Wait--is that the word you were using to mean "hate"?
de***:To remove st*** from (a specimen) to aid in microscopic study.
sorry!! i thought di 7/32 had the same meaning as de 7/32
i'm sorry!
di***: The worthiness of praise di**** his worth
Actually, their origins as words are remarkably similar; one means to remove a st***, though, and the other actively means to st***.
the little question marks don't seem to be working
well im back there was nothing to do but i did get a drink of apple juice in that short period of time!
right got to get the house cleaned bbl folks have a good day everyone:)
yep have fun!
na 5/10 the buttocks (that's what the little questionmark says)
Sorry, I'm rather out of it again tonight. searching for this took me too long so I look like I'm being a snot.
jilli - I've noticed them (?) but don't know what they are supposed to do - can you explain pls
so what is that hate word? i mean can you give me a clue for that hate word.
mps louie is that you?
karob -- did you get that top corner na? just go down one and turn left, plus
yep hey maq
what little question marks?
hey can you give me a little help
di 7/32 is a homophone of de 7/32
louie28, "hate" isn't a good clue for it. The de 7 and th di 7 are 'bout the same word, if that helps
in the squares beside our words - they take you to the dictionary but maybe you have to pay up
the little question marks to the left of the words
louie please help me or anyone really
yea but ive only got 30 or so words in the time period of 1 hour and a half!
OH! I never paid attention to that before! :)
i've only got 25
TTY Jilli - I'll try his when my eMac is a bit more stable.
maq dark furniture is usally sta****
louie - could you be thinking of a di word with the 4th letter a d, meaning "look down upon"?
i was thinking of that. hah.
sorry for all the confusion!!
hello all!
OR if that didnt help if you get whiteout on your shirt it gets sta****
yo MaQ

Good Morning everyone

thanks
hello periwinkle!
That's what I've been trying to teach them and tell them in class Eva, but I don't think it's wearing off.
Hi peri!
well, thanks for the encouragement eden
I don't appreciate the use of "real names" online MPS students.
its ok
amanda-first 5 letters are the same. Someone who doesn't stay in one place
whoops
sorry
But im zombie :)
ohoh!
uh huh?
Now just another reminder, make sure you are chatting in your MSN, this is not a chat, it is supposed to be babble related only.
of course! Thanks Eva - that's the 9's taken care of then
how do i change my name?
you dont
students-there are all kinds of people who lurk around sites like this. It's not safe to give out so much personal information when you don't know who is listening
:S
ok, my bad
Also, you should probably all continue playing from our classroom name (the one I'm using at the moment) and only at school so you're not flooding this place.
Good morning every1! I don't have alot of time today. But lo and behold, I entered a word or two and now I can't quit. I would've pansied out, but it's not a word!
zip!
I only have 1 of the 8's. Any help?
some of you have been giving out your msn and even the school you go to and your real names... that is not a good idea!
r u still at school!!!???
?huh?
good morning all... could not sleep so backto fill in a few more words
its not to safe to do that on here. you should be careful
Hurrah - real babblers back. Can someone please remind me of the hint for di9?
MPS Students you should be reading and listening to what is being said on here, do not give your personal details or friends personal details online.
when a guy called "zombie" comes on its me
same here, Eva - I don't even know where to look for them. Morning Blaze, Gramma
neither is tansied gramma. How's the healing coming? Seems like you're going to another long stretch of enforced rest with rain again.
it's amazing how much someone could learn from your conversations here... becarful you never know who is listening or where they are at the moment...
Yes, hints for the 9s please.
canada? wow you're from canada...
matty - the di9 is one who argues
ok, i'm not going to say nothing 'bout myself no more
kathy babble related talk only!!!
kathy where are you from?
ok. um i have only one word weird
kathy is better to be safe online than sorry
ty amanda
me? i really shouldnt say.
And the other 9s please
I do not see diteenager.... LOL
Dr_God should get funded if babble is being used for education!!!!!!
The healing is coming along,but I must be going....Have a meeting this am before work. So sad 8( Maybe I'll see you all later? Good lord willing and the creek don't rise.
clues please i like have 8!!!
good one, Blaze!
than the price would go up
that would be a cool thing but that too has stipulations on it
i have like, one!
tr9/60 - took the subway?
go me... (cough cough)
lol
this is so cryptic
tr9/54 - hobo
kathy just look for everyday words there are alot of them
Miss ABS any clues for the 8 or 9 letter word etc

a belated thanks peri-having some problems with the chat log again, just when I though it was okay.
i dont get any of these clues... :(
yw , Eva
I have the st8 that goes with the st9 but I don't have the other st8, can someone give me a clue?
kathy, it takes time to get used to it, don't worry, it will become clearer as you play more!
ok, thanks mrP
There are TWO st eights? I have the one that describes water where mosquitos breed - what's the other?
st8 boys name + dark
I only have 1 st8, sorry...
thanks for the 9 idea miss abs
having missed some clues-I have pa8/45,st8/50,tr8/45. What am I missing? Want to finish the 8's before I take my Merp feeding break
wish i could help...
water where mosquitoes bred...
im confused
Got it - check out www.doglistener.co.uk if you want the man's name that that word starts with (a neighbour of ours). Anyone know what it means?
There are two st8 - which have you got.
Eva- mrp just gave a great clue for another st8 - boys name and dark
no problem beast
thanks mrp
Kathy - water that is still - often has scum over the top - also means to stay still.
Oooh, just found the tr8... I'm really moving now...
I have the unmoving water one-I
st8/40 - pyrite
I'm now working with mrp's clue for the other one
excellent, thanks for the clue Mr P got the other st8 now
dunno what it means, matty - sounds like floor covering, but that's probably not what it is
Cool - thanks Pres!
I am so stuck on the DE 6 and 7s at the end.
YW!
done. 326 words. this takes way too long.....
Wow scraggly! I'm impressed
Huzzah for scraggly!!

hi miss ABS
Hello Aleksia

stain remover...?
unicorn - man's name + not daytime = st8
coffee, tomato sauce, they all st*** your clothing, then you can de***** it by washing it
Oh, duh, easy ones, thanks MrP
aleksia are you in her class to?
aleksia are you in her class to?
i so know you
kathy, careful you don't post words from the grid! good going though
Good afternoon dear gang :)
oh! whoops i didn't know it was a word. my bad
Congrats scraggly!
Greetings, sprite! How are you today?
Hello Sprite
Hello Sprite!
Hello dear Sprite
hi sprite
There were a few Tolkien words in the puzzle the other day Sprite and I thought of you
Ah, there you are Sprite! Thought maybe you'd whirled through all 326 words already
morning everyone
Hi Sprite! Anyone have any idea about the K words?
morning everyone. killer grid?
Good morning (or I should say evening) Saphyre
good evening saphyre
scraggly got *~*~*~FIREWORKS~*~*~*
How is everyone today?
I only have a ka4 & plural... sounds like a walking aid
ty amanda sorry i'm at work
cold, but good other than that, and you?
Just home from work, so finally time to start the babble. We have a big one today! Is it any good? Ah, Tolkien, I love Tolkien. I hate K-words. Did I ever mention I hate K-words?
doing good, thanks
Thanks - I also have one that sounds like a domestic pet (one that would never pull a sled)
it IS really cold...
Got it, love Tolkien, hate K-words.
well Sprite, you will hate G words after today!
Matty - i just monkeyed all of the k-words. there are 4 4's and 1 5
So what am I missing.
Thanks, matty... hadn't seen that one yet... seems like a lot of C-words, but with a K...
I'm still missing the di9 just realised that.
aleksia go on msn
aleksia go on msn
di9 one who argues
di9 - one who argues
di9, di9
aleksia go on msn
71 words with 777 points not to bad for the first hour
I think I've got the wrong ending for it amanda and MrP.
What a nice Di9 :)
241 and list-time for me...
The one who argues clue is not working for me...
insects who argue?
um, aleksia? you might like to go on msn
it is a very small picnic bug ending
I just got it! Thank god, I've been putting the last three letters wrong!
Funny how that happens repeatedly
I got *~*~*~FIREWORKS~*~*~*
congrats mr p
Congrats Mr P! Well done!
%%*~*~*~FIREWORKS~*~*~*%% for mrP!
inset
congrats mrp
Yay MrP!
105 words here, still have 221 left. Don't think I'll see the firewords tonight.
If I never see a P word again it will be too soon!
Ah-ha! Got it! Thanks for all the help...
thanks guys!
Ohoh... so it will be mrX from now on?
i still can't figure the argue one is there a differnt clue for it? di9
LOL :))
105? man, i only have 8
Start with a negative prefix, end with a picnic insect... you only have to find the 3 middle letters... you can do it if I can!
if you ever watch boxing Unicorn, the ring announcer might say that the champion is the undi*, undefeated heavy weight champion of the world... then the ending is a very small picnic creature.
Nice clue Miss ABS!
so drop the "un" use the di word, and the picnic creature. LOL How's that for a more confusing clue!
Thanks Mr P. Cracking myself up here.
Oooh, found a nice run of in's
thanks got it yeah me
i still don't get it... hmm. maybe i'll google boxing
one more 9 to go
Beast, we musicians have got to stick together ya know!
maybe not
Closing in on halfway... gotta break with 154 words... back in a bit after I get these people out of my house!
ive only got 45 words
kathy your best bet would be to stick to small words for now until you're more familiar with the game. There are many many many 4 letter words that you will know. Try getting those first, that will help you lots. Once you understand a bit more about how to play then move on to the bigger ones. That's the best clue I can give you at the moment.
jess, that is really good!
ive only got 45 words
yeah? i've only got 9 -lol
Well done Jess.
Taking a break at 217 words. BBL.
Nice going Jac
BBFN Jac!
thanks miss ABS
just changedthe batteries in my key board hope it helps
No problem Kathy, hope that helps some. Come have a chat with me in the morning and I'll give you some more ideas how things work too.
thanks!
No 'ents'. Miss ABS, I want 'ents' to be valid. This is Tolkien discrimination! ;)
g2g bye
bye jess is cool l
i so want ents to be in here
byebye
Hey, Miss, how old are the kids you teach?
I agree, I always try it Sprite. Just in case...
I am off to watch Nadal slap that poor Croatian boy all over the court! Looks like it is setting itself up to be Federer vs Nadal in the final!!
lol
I agree, I always try it Sprite. Just in case...
Same here, though I should know better by now :)
Good night Jess.
do both the tr9's start the same, im stuck
LOL finally got it thank you everybody!
, and now they leave me little notes in moon runes and rune letters. You'd laugh.
i'd better go now. thanks for the help everyone!
Wow my chat window went funny. Yeah Beast they do both start the same.
nite kathy
see you tomorrow kathy, good night for now.
thanks
bye bye
Sprite that was meant to read "I taught some of the kids how to read and translate Tolkien runes... and now (etc)."
Hehehe, that is funny! So you have to translate their messages yourself too ;)
Yeah, but I've been doing it for a long time. My dad taught me when I was little tiny, so it's pretty easy now. It's quite cute really.
Beast any luck on those tr9s? Want me to try and think of a clue?
thats something id love to learn and teach my daughter
yes please I am still stuck
Sure is. You must be a good teacher to get them motivated to do that.
i have the tr9/54
Well the one tr9 is a nicer name for a "tramp" and the other is a longer version of the tr7/28
okay the tr9/60 is the past tense of the tr7/28. If you're in between two places and you're travelling you're in tr7/28.
yeay i got it finally
thats all the 9's
Congrats
well it is ni**y ni** from me! Happy babbling everyone and see you for the next round! Love to all! BYE (waving!!)
catcha
congrats, mrp!
Bye Mr P. Have a good night and thanks for the email.
Sleep well, mr er..... (P) :)
:))
ty Miss ABS
morning all...monster grid today! what fun!!
Good morning Angel, and you're right, it's a very good one.
Hi angel! Bye MrP!
It is a great grid :)
Good morning. I'm going to attempt this biggie. What are a few ranking points if I don't finish?
musicmom, never mind the rankings, just have fun :)
I've been so short on time lately I haven't even looked at my rating. I'm sure I'm so far down the list I'd be embarrassed for myself if I did.
I have a competition with myself to keep my cream ranking above 1000. It's an obsessive compulsive thing.
Almost never check the rankings. Just play for fun.
I don't care where anyone else is- it is just that number at the top for me :-=))
:)
I like helping all you other people getting better rankings watch give up early on this beast
Good way to be musicmom.
Well I think I might take off for the night. I'm getting a bit sleepy, and I still have to do a bit of school prep work...
Good night all. Beast are you teaching tomorrow? Will I see you?
good night Miss ABS
ok cya
Sleep well Miss ABS :)
Night musicmom, good luck on the grid. Thanks Sprite, have a good day today. Bye for now.
nite niss ABS thank you for your jelp
thanks!
oops help
I think 'jelp' is nice. To yelp for help. Works for me.
lol
nite Miss ABS
destant
oopss so sorry
"destant" was not found in the dictionary
i know taht's what makes it worse sorry
:D
LOL Unicorn. That's how I feel too --- now they know what I was monkey typing.
we all have our days!
Nah, as if we don't all try funny words. I think "destant" is less monkeytyping than "estan". Which I just tried.
:-)) Degrees of monkeying.
my phantom words today . . . tank, stank
aqt least if i could have picked one of the words to type here it was one that was close to something instead of some of my other words...
tane
oops
the other thing I do that drives me crazy is say in the log that a real word won't work when it will. I've started typing them three or four times to check now.
i love phantom words.
mine are rugs and duty
:-D
Happened to me a couple of times before too, musicmom. I always check double nowadays, lol.
hey phlox!
i just about did the same thing
137 words down....still typing as fast asI can
mine are (there are so many...) taste, mantis, disrepute, disparate
yes, I've tried taste more than once!! :-)
wow I just found 15 g words in no time flat. Now I'm stuck. But that was pretty fun
Same here :)
hey abe! just to warn you my internet is like dial up slow for some reason so it's taking forever for messages to go through
hey abe!
Hi Abe
YIKES!!! 326 words!!!
is other abe done with the night shift?
Layne, I've got 170 words and haven't resorted to a list yet--not as bad as it looks!
hey musicmom!the other abe is back to days! yeah!
160 words in very little time, don't let the size intimidate you, Layne!
hooray! you must be in heaven
Umm, okay, Uneaixoise and Sprite. Thanks for the encouragement. (whimper)
It really isn't bad.
it's very nice and makes life less stressful! oh, thanks for your email yesterday. go layne go!
abe 79, I've already got a big 5!
Layne, grab a big mug of Community dark roast and jump in! :-)
That's the spirit, Layne!
well, i'll be here all day to offer encouragement/ exchange hints/ etc. we can do it!
Why not 'tanga'? Like in tanga slip?
Uneaixoise, you know about Community Coffee!
i wanted tanga too- boo for no tanga
many relatives in Louisiana--go, chickory!
coffee, good idea... brb need to make a pot
or rather, geaux, chickory! :-)
Community Coffee rocks!
boo from me too :) Someone should reeducate that enable dictionary.
Howdy, All... looks like a "biggee" today.. my coffee is ready, hope the brain is in gear..
off to grab first cuppa du jour
Sprite, I think tanga is a made-up English word - probably by a German advertising company. They really love to do that
rape
Must be it, amanda. It is 'thong', right?
totally. silly dictionary doesn't know what a real word is:)
oh, so sorry...
My coffee is too weak
Now now Aloyisius, no thank you, not today ;)
LOL, sprite..
I think so - they came into style after I'd already moved here, so I'm not really sure what they call them in the US (happens to me alot)
Where do you live now?
Hi! I am still pretty new here, so, does a 300+ puzzle mean it is harder to get fireworks than yesterday's 131 word puzzle?
I'm in Hamburg
Pansied really should be a word and I'm tired of typing PANSY.
emsuing, depending on hard you want to work for it
not always emsuing ... it depends on how strange the words are
emsuing - not necessarily harder --- there are just more words to find
Hi emsuing, not necessarily harder, but it will take longer.
means there are more possible words
ok, thanks!
just been napping and was sure in my dreams that colloid was acceptable in the grid
I agree, SueMagee :)
Thank you Sprite. I was beginning to think it was me!
Wow, now that is a phantom word that I haven't tried in this grid, Ata :)
perhaps I should try it, just in case ...!
unsurprisingly, no ... LOL
ok, I give up - need one of the in7/32's - got the, ummm, burying? one...
Let's see, and what if I try... nope, no luck ;)
pah! bad grid!
Some minor fireworks for me: I finished the Ks! (Did I ever mention I do not like Ks?)
whoohooo over a 100 words already
yay sprite!
yayyyy! not half as bad as the last lot of k's!
YEY sprite!
Little boom
Hello everyone!
i keep wanting mani and pedi to work
True Ata! They were REALLY nasty, that lot.
hi preethi!
that sounded dismissive of achievement. it wasn;t! any k submission is worth fireworks!
you're not the only one kaurie
Didn't feel dismissive at all! I agree, I haven't seen nastier K-words together than in that recent grid.
nor me! they were horrid horrid horrid!
so today's k's are better than yesterdays?
I do not believe there are U words in this grid today.
LOL was just thinking the same thing MM
any clues for the u words?
i have afew u words
does anyone one know what that stupid ne5/10 (rhymes with bank robbery) word that always always always shows up means?
don't get up*** if you can't find them
easy monkey typing on today's Ks
LOL - thanks Kaurie
ty
here's a clue; the bobbing flower's synonym
thanks kaurie ;)
its scottish. in RL Stevenson: "thare wis mony a guidwife bure the merk o her ***** day an mony a lang day efter" make any sense to you lol?
thanks
erm, the only other i have is like the state, minus a cons

I'm not finished with the K. 326 words in today's grid

Beast/*Kathy*, can we please keep the topic somewhat related to babble? Thanks.
I am finished - that should have read 'now'! LOL
by the way, i play piano but prob not with you
soz pwinn
congrats matty
kewl
any clues for the k's
No - sorry - just finished with the Ks!
I stil lhave 184 words left!
anyway, goodbye all... au revoir!
I must be really missing something with the k's. My fours I have are one looks like a biblical place, one looks like a walking stick and one looks like a pet. What in the world is the last one?
i have nfi dear musicmom
pet + article
the one that sounds like a pet - take off the s and add first vowel
hi all...
bye all, miss ya (cough cough) nah just jokes... bubi
what's the icon theme for today?
One looks vagely like a japanese weapon...
AHA!@!!! Thanks Saphyre.
walking stick plural for the 5
thanks one more to go
I had the 5. Thanks now my K is grey.
:)
mm...ty for the "blblical" clue for the k's....that finished them for me
yeah finally got the k's
thanks everyone
There are three ks that end in vowels...
matty, they are japanese writing symbols for foreign words, so you were close :)
is it the same as forms or linked moves in martial arts Sprite
Babbledude: I think those are the same as the sword-like one. The script one is with the other consonant in the middle.
I'm starting to think that no more words exist now ...
Hey, my favorite P-word is in this grid :D
writing instruments with ink sprite<VBEG>?
Thankx Sprite : )
I was about to ask...sprite...but then realised.
musicmom: I guess it IS possible... never tried ;)
eWWW
how do you find out the theme?
Yay, I killed the p's!
wtg amanda!
or everyone could just ignore me ...
Not ALL of them I hope?
I use Angelsong's page at the bottom
good going amanda
thx
Poor Bowdy. I think the theme is posted on Babanon, isn't it?
well, ok, I didn't really *kill* them. We would want to keep a couple, wouldn't we?
hey amandacath
Yeah, let's keep them handy for when we need them :)
how can there be that many p words??!!!!
I'm not sure jbp
want to send the dead bodies over here so I can identify my last 19?
Perhaps we said Purrrrrlease a little too often.
i have 29 of 54... there shouldn't be 54 of anything ever! ;-)
Hiya, everyone!!!!!
Morning movieman
movieman! howdy
hi movieman and jbp
Hey movieman! Well, I remember grids with 70+ S-words, so actually this is a breeze ;)
Good morning Santa Fe
The identity of my mystery celeb isn't exactly hard to figure out......
hi movieman
and there's not even that really bad ho-type word in italian that starts with p---
the icon list says it is Lenny bruce day....
the great purple one, movieman. nice!
Did you drive to the log in your Little Red Corvette?
Hi jbp! Hi Movieman! Let's see, got the italian countryman p?
who's Lenny Bruce?
I don't know Ata - I googled him
paisano?
jbp, slightly different spelling
Yep, abe, he's 48 today!!!!!!! Atalante - he was a great American comic actor.....
wow, i can't believe he's 48! he always seems to look the same...
how many letters for the italian countryman
6
...and then there are the heathens and their songs
thanks pwinn
but the songs don't start with p do they, amandacath?
And when your car tells you to take a hike...
plus plural plus past tense
yeah, they do - that's not to say there aren't other songs in there somewhere...
ah, gotcha. thanks for those
the car one eludes me tho...
Are there other songs in there?
when critics don't like a movie it gets pa****
Starts with a cooking utensil.
stories, more like
Ah, the icelandic ones, you mean?
well im off to bed, cya
yep
bye beasie
Well, the dictionary says the def is: A special finish for velvet and satin that produces a high luster. Never knew that.
they use the term for paint also, sprite
40/54 Ps! Woot! getting there!
In dutch and french you can use the word for when your car breaks down on you.
only 33 here
i'm stuck on the italian countryman ( know the original word, need guidance on the alt. spelling) thanks!
german too
sprite, got it (wow, didn't know i remembered that word in french!)
and here it has a plural and a past tense (well, the form of it, anyway).
Now to go completely ape with my CD collection courtesy of the Purple One......
34 of 54....
that's what I have jbp
how many pu words are there?
oooh ooooh ooooh...when doves cry!
i got the italian countryman when i mistyped medieval farmers....?
they aren't the same word, amandacath?
I still don't think I get the car clue, being limited to English as I am.
abe: start with father.
what you cook in, plus first 2 letters of "born as"
vowels are the other way around, jbp. 2 pu's - easy ones
thanks sprite and jbp, i'm going to work on that one...
jbp, was that for me? I got that now. And that past perfect. Thanks
wait, I'm being confusing: "I got the italian countryman when I mistyped medieval English farmers and left off a letter". Better?
i only have the one pu
golf
does either of them start with what's in a pod?
think golf and the other spelling in plural
Okay - I'm going to the list. I keep retyping words I already have
the golf one is part of my name... shoulda got it
thanks, amanda and eva
Abe - When Doves Cry it is!!!!!!
so is what's in a pod related to medieval peasants or italian farmers?
oy, i got it. duh. thanks for the clues, friends! and thanks for the song movieman
The italian countryman is backward in his pod
Can someone help me find my last "k"? I've got:Cotzen K___ in sing and plural, the alt spelling of felines and the karate form.
You need the japanese syllable script for foreign words, Eva.
that was Citizen K
ok, amandacath, that sentence is slayin' me... like as in, the dog barks at midnight....
okay sprite=it's on the tip of my tongue.....
misplaced pod thing plural + indef article (2 letters)
Like the karate one, but other consonant.
don't get the medieval english hoo ha one apparently
thank you sprite!
:) Always glad to help, but even more so with Ks ;)
since it's neither serf nor ceorl
So are we sorted out on the italian guy? And you're confusing me now jbp - dog? midnight?
jbp: you still looking for the Pa6/21 or not?
just sounded like one of those spy novel code phrases....
the italian is turned around in his pod
I see there are a lot of words today, but how difficult are they to find? :)
Ahh, you're right, it does now that you point it out!
i have 2 pa 6/21 words...italian homeboy and and songs of celebration
BGL: not too hard!
BGL, I got to about 200 without too much difficulty
BGL = I've been playing for a little over an hour and have 155 words left to find
i want to make papaya or payeia (or however you spell it)
OKay, I guess I'll jump in!
one more, jbp - pl french thingy
got 131 now, with hlep really only on a couple of p words, one of which i already had...
yep, got that one pamandacath
are there any ps words?
nope, but a pt
sorry, amanda, now I'm adding p's to everything I type
I'm giving up on the p words --- I still need 20 but my brain is not processing the clues. I'll come back to it later
pt how many letters?
326 words.... you have got to be kidding me.....
hey cadfan!!
Pt6/21
no problem - it's nearly inevitable. Pt6/21: A medicinal infusion, such as sweetened barley water
Hi Cadfan!
Morning all!
hi cadfan
just googled the pt6. Looks like it's probably related to the more common french tissane
Good Morning, CadFan: I see old St. Nick, still not acceptable
off to BIble study, BBL
I hate the a's!
bye
my back is beginning to complain bitterly, so off to make empanadas and limber up a bit, and maybe get in a little gardeing before the next deluge.
I've hit a couple of non-accepteds today: him, ents still aren't there, though it will take orcs (discrimination!), and rasta
Omgawd! Just logged on and was wondering--is this a 2-day puzzle?! I think I need to borrow someone else's brain to do this one!
You can have mine, for what it's worth, mom23 ;)
thanks Eva!!
Does it come with instructions, sprite?!
id offer mine but it doesn't seem to be working today...
it doesn't take rasta amanda
Nah, me and instructions don't go well together. Just typing away ;)
rast
sorry again
that either, Unicorn
For a P-word and a couple of others: don't forget the H in the upper left corner.
I don't think I like this grid that evil 4 letter D word is the 1st one I found. --- Good Morning All!!
path
oops
diet
Ah Minski, but it makes up for that with some nice and fattening italian dishes :)
whoops, I blatted too... move the cursor, Aloyisius..
Okay i'm going to take a break. The girls and I need to run to town. Be back later for another attempt. i'm over half way there.
TEE HEE!! It's contagious.
anyway, that would be MY "evil 4 letter D word"..
bye musicmom and eva
I'll try to remember that as I work my way through the grid.
Gotta go watch Sesame STreet with the wee one. TTFN.
Say hi to Pino from me :)
in the words of bon jovi, "oh, we're halfway there"...
Blah, I just hit 100 words. Completed, not "to go". I'm heading to work.
100 words is not bad at all.
Any cluez for the "biggies" (7+) would be greatly appreciated.......
tr9/54 just passing through
one seven/ eight combo is person who is in the hospital
thanks, abe
Thanks, Uneaixoise and abe79!!
di7/32 far away
traipse
tnk, abe.. didn't have that one
oops
yw and thanks uneaixoise
di9 - one who argues tr9/60 - took the subway?
sorry!!
st8/50 and past tense water that's been standing to long
thanks, amanda!
woulda been nice, jbp - i tried it too
yw!
st9/72 is there other
thanks unicorn
i don't ge tthe subway or argue ones...
however i found some lovely stones related to the standing water
a subway is a mode of tr***** so if you rode it you tr******
tr9/54 remains only fleetingly.
your welcome did you get them both?
or the passing thru one yep, i did
or the passing thru one
you do get the argue one, the passing through one is a hobo...
tr8/45 add trans to the ninth month
I'm struggling with the in words - any clues fo rthe two in 7/32?
thanks Une... i think the past tense should have a double consonant but what do *I* know
i agree!!
got the hobo, thanks amanda
good one Uni
the di is the argue one?
I still need one of those too, matty. One is ... to bury?
tr7/28 to move through somewhere tr9/60 past tense of previouse clue
yep, jbp.
yes di9 is to argue
i don't have to I's though
de7/32 is de+st5/10
i don't gert the argue one
matty: after my second cup of coffee, I saw in7/32 in an *******
nor the in ones
Why can't I get the bury in?
but thanks for that de Unicorn
no prob
matty, the in to bury...think of where you put the corp[se into
jbp - one who debates? One who says your opinion is wrong? Insects who argue with you?
pissants?
(one of my moms favorite words)
amanda, LOL!!!
Almost!
Isn't it another word for mother?
Aloy - I don't get the coffee clue ...?
if you don't have time to brew a pot you just make in****
omg, it's like debutante, except bitchier
thanks Une, also
oh, had that one. Still looking for the non-burying in7/32
a very very short period of time, like something could flash by in an *******
thanks une
Yay jbp - finally a decent clue for that one! Been trying to think of one all day!
Amandacath - think of the Lennon song, 'In***** Karma'
Where you put the corspe - I have the Maxwell House answer.
Actually, it was Folger's (-:
Matty - what do you dig to make a grave? The coffin then goes into it.
in + ea5/12
in+our planet......
not just dirt.. the entire world of dirt
kaurie, thanks--never heard of it
earth
sorry
i don't get the lennon reference
oops
Oh - duh. You know why - I didn't even SEE the letter in the upper left hand corner - I have upper left hand corner blindness!
According to lickety's list, there are 2 in7/32's right at the top. One is where you put the corpse, the other I can't find
that "h" was hiding..
lol i didn't see the h either
want innate to count!
AmandaCath - immediate. (Or, as I said, think of the Lennon song or Yoko autobiography.)
do you brew your coffee or drink ******* coffee?
I still can't get that di9...the argue one...all the words I can think of, don't fit
immediate coffee is in 7/28...
That's the in7/28 guys! And it's not at the top of the in's!
I'm with you tndaisy
daisy - to argue-e+small insect......
di+ first 4 letters of soviet spacecraft, + one letter beverage + insect in 3 letters
start with a negative and end with a small picnic creature
well, good morning all. I thought I got such a good start last night, but now I see I still have 155 to go. I will never finish.
where
is the volcano?
Soviet Spacescraft... I can think of a 3 letter one but ??
I have another in7/32: in + correct texts + vowel.
i'm with you cad..
I keep trying to find it too, Aloy
cad, older than that...
Oh, thank you Sprite! Finally!
thanks sprite.. that was a good one!
what the heck does *that* mean, sprite!
finally - the spacecraft one did it for me
thanks sprite!
OK, still missing the other in7/32 (I now have the one that puts a body in the ground)
thanks cadfan
correct text?
Sprite just gave it to us, Matty
and jbp :)
wahoo - got it.. yes, older spacecraft, that was a huge help
di +curvy letter +*** your jeans on one leg at a time + picnic bug
could you clue me in cad?
Unicorn, think of the verb that means to correct someone's writing.
thanks sprite and layne
world's first artifical satellite
kaurie...thank you.
Ata: unpublished works
artifical that is.. think to the 50's
i'm russian. and that was just embarrasing. i now have it.
people used to rhyme my last name with that satellite. sheesh.
Got it now.
That's a repressed memory, misshoax. Nothing embarrassing about it :)
indeed sprite. thanks..
Sorry about clueing the wrong word. That's what comes of multi-tasking.
matty...will you pls clue that "other" in 7/32? the non buried one? I don't have it yet.
i can't figure it either
The other in7/32 means unpublished or untried.
*Sounds a bit like in + newspaper chief.
tndaisy... in+to revise a paper or book before publication + first vowel
in + 1st 4 of archie bunkers wife + vowel
LOL kaurie!
got it! thanks all:)
awesome clue, kaurie! (wish i'd thought of that)
now...outside before it gets too hot. have work to do.
i'm still missing the tr9 just passing thru..i think i know the word but can't find it...
ty sooooo much
abe: it ends in the Tolkien creature that isn't loved by babble.
tr+article+not stand is th4e 7 on which it's based
abe - another word for a hobo?
abe, the letters loop above and below the "s" on the grid
the 9 word ends with the trees of tolkein
do you have tr7/28?
Hiya Meg
gmta, jbp :)
thanks all, i'm working on it...
add ed to tr7/28
i have that one unicorn, but thanks!
abe, it rhymes with the sick P.
are you missing tr9/54?
yes unicorn, that one
another name for a bum or hobo
oh for heavens sake. thanks guys! i guess it really does take a village...
it's alright once we found out which one you needed
seti should be a word, honest
it is just spelled settee
lol
de 7*36?
seti is that space group thing
jbp: leaves.
looking for life in the outer limits
tx, sprite
duh!!!!
very cool organization
thanks sprite
down to my last 10 words and losing patience - anyone got the 2 up6/24's?
if you can untent, how come you can't distent
i distented once
don't have those amanda, but i will look now
i got better
up + te4/4
amanda: one needs what is on your cheek when you cry, the other needs past tense of what you do with a letter.
up + se4/4
Those are ridiculous words - but thx anyway, Sprite
i tried to make upread work...
That's how it goes with me: try up- with everything that is in the neighbourhood.
No matter HOW unlikely :)
there's a bunch of ga words i don' t have.. i have to stare openmouthed and present tense of it, and holes/lacunae...
and intake of air
guy from waynes world, jbp
Break time for me again. 55 left to find but need to do work in the garden now. BBL.
So how's about two ta6/18's? One is the very first ta (I'm assuming it's some silly scottish word) and one comes right after the astronaut drink
One g is Wayne's partner
bye jacula
There are 3 Ga-words with another vowel.
ach, Abe beat me to it
EXcellent, amandacath
I thought I finished my "A"s hours ago. I am missing an ag6/24. Help please!
nerve/intestines
there's a ga bird, too
stones, merk?
Merk: plural stones or the singular of the Ag7.
merk, do you have the plural of ag 5/14?
Yes, I do. It must be the one after that.
how come Guapa isn't allowed, as in El Guapo's wife?
sprite, what is this ag 7 of which you speak?
It's the singular. Good grief! Is my head still on?
Thanks
or just the adjective guapo--no rhyme or reason to which non-English words are accepted
does guapo actually mean something?
i just know it from 3 amigos
it means good looking, jbp
interesting... 'cause on account of he wasn't in the flick
That's a pretty ugly word to mean something pretty!
are there any v words?
Ag6/24: Related on or descended from the father's or male side, akin. Ag7/36: plural.
no v's, unicorn
Unicorn: no, none.
thank goodness
hehe Unicorn, my thought exactly.
thanks sprite, i always miss that one!
holy cow, 326 words!?
Give or take, Golux ;)
I'm also missing the de7/32. I can't figure out what the third and fourth letters are. Any clues?
I'm also missing the de7/32. I can't figure out what the third and fourth letters are. Any clues?
Merk: De + what you do not want on your best dress.
the S and P are never ending! at least it feels that way =)
ru6/27 anyone?
And that De7 has a Di cousin.
amanda: ru + entrance of the garden.
I'm dismayed by the number of u-words - could someone give a clue as to the starts of a few? ur?
OK, thank you, thank you, thank you!
5x up, 2x ur, 1x ut
thanks very much - great help!
I haven't gotten to the U's yet. You mean there is something worse than all of those A's?
Merk: of course there is. There are Ks :)
there aren't *that* many, but any number is dismaying, I guess, when you're having trouble getting started on them
i was about to say that lol
Perhaps I haven't mentioned it before, but I hate Ks.
thx Sprite, 6 to go. Sa6/21?
you have lol
you may have, sprite
I think I vaguely remember something along those lines, Sprite :)
really? thought you loved Ks! Imagine a grid with *5* Ks ....
sa 6/21 - *** francisco + rock and roll concert series minus a vowel
Are you sure y want to know, amanda? Sa6/21 is a Persian dulcimer typically having two bridges and numerous strings, played with a pair of wooden sticks with curved ends
oh that's horrible
a damsel with a dulcimer, in a vision once I saw ...
Hihihi... oK oK oK ;)
sprite - i'm going to be in amsterdam july 9-11, any interest in meeting up with me somehow?
ouch
ooh a nice big puzzle today
we had it in a recent grid, amanda
Hey hurshy! Sure, if possible, that would be fun!
Ah, yes, of course, silly me for not knowing *that* word! Got it from abe's clue - would never have even monkeyed that one!
do you live in amsterdam? or how far out of it?
amanda: it's alt. spelling, usually spelled with double O. :)
hiya everyone!!
Rather close to Amsterdam, about 20 minute's drive.
Hi Hursh! That must have been on one of those days I couldn't access the site, or, more likely, I'd forgotten it.
My phantom word is tapas.
hi bex
thats not phantom, matty ...
matty: nothing phantom about it :)
so... maybe we could have lunch at a restaurant or something? just tell me a time and place and i'll be there :)
not a phantom matty
bah... "depants" and "pantsed" are not in the dictionary.
hello, last night I tried my first grid. This game is highly addictive. Started this grid immediately but found my self asleep in the chair at 3 am.
welcome to the jungle, marisun!
hurshy: my email is in my profile, please send me an email and we see what we can do :)
ok :)
odd, golux. what, then, is the word for taking off someone else's pants?
Sounds like a new addict to me, Marisun, LOL! Welcome to the madness and don't worry, most grids aren't 300+ words.
welcome to the play
how many words????? :0
2 ta6/18's?
326 disneyjessi
oh cheese and crackers...thanks...i think i've just been scared away
it's not that bad
Ta6/18: narrow band or ribbon for the hair that was worn in ancient Greece AND heir apparent to an ancient Celtic chief, elected during the chief's lifetime.
disneyjessi: it is a nice grid really, lots and lots of common words. Just jump in :)
its a nice board, disneyjessi, just, full
i don't know i see that k in the corner ;)
ok sprite i sent you a message :)
I am with you, disneyjessi, all the way. Darn Ks. But to be honest, these Ks aren't the worst.
99 left to go but I needto do some housework, later all
Great hurshy!
bye saphyre
how do you all get so many so quickly, the 'enable dictionary' what is that?
hmmmm, it's nice to know the definitions, Sprite, but they're not helping (although the Celtic one rings a bell, just not loud enough)
Doing it often, Marisun, that's the whole trick. The more you play, the more words you will recognise right away. And the enable dictionary is the dictionary used for this game, only words that are in that dictionary are valid. It is a VERY stupid dictionary. :)
Marisun - the enable dictionary is the list of words that are acceptable in the game of Babble.....
Marisun - lot of people from all over the world, so some poeple ar ejust starting whilstothers are already finished. Afternoon all
yeah, i'm not up on my ancient greek hair accessories
amanda, one sounds like person who lies in the sun to get color, all the time
lol, and apparently hidden from all civilized society, ehh?
lol jbp
tx, abe
thanks mitch
love the pic, uneaixoise -- wegman?
google the definintions in quotation marks and you will get both words.
yup
thanks also musicman and others
Marisun - the address for the enable dictionary is: http://www.photosphere.us/gj_babble_db .txt
oh, Minski, of course - my brain is fried. Will do that
amanda: 1. orderly and clean backwards, + 2 vowels. 2. get a color in the sun + a lot of names written under each other minus first letter.
you're welcome, and don't forget to too lat angelsongs link below. lots of useful hot to babble stuff.
hi fmitch
Hey FMitch :)
FMitch - Hiya!!!!!!!
good clues sprite..i needed those too
jeez typing is shot again!! Hi abe and sprite and MM and amanda - not babbling today just popped in to say Hi :)
hey afternoon FMitch
yw :)
sprite rocks!!
movieman: Well bust my buttons (Wizard of Oz quote?)
*blush*
Whew, got those! Thanks, everybody
I'll be back to babble tomorrow.
Hi Mitch!
Hi amanda, are you beating the grid? I've been out all day not not able to play.
bye mitch
ag7/36?
amanda is almost done!
bye Mitch
It's a useful list. marisun, but I prefer to use www.morewords.com....
see you tomorow
woohoo Happy babbling everyone :)
Does anyone have the up 6/24 that comes first? I am ready to tear my hair out....
jbp: ag7 = related on or descended from the father's or male side, akin.
ag7/36 is plural of ag6/23
ag6/24, sorry
up+sounds like smell
up6/24 = up + what you did to a letter
up6/24 - up+past participle of send.....
duh, thanks Une
Ok, I think I'm in trouble. I'm at 325 and can't find what I'm missing. Anyone know if maybe lickety's list has a bug in it?
Okay, I have that "up", what one am I missing?
Sorry. The grid says 326 words total.
I'm also missing a UP6/27. It's the 2nd to last UP word.
do you have up + si4/5?
there's an up++++ to knowing a bunch of good words
yes
and up + te4/4?
no I don't but I will soon.
such as one of the ag 4/6 words... i have a+fuel
got the si6/27! the U is grayed out!
ty, it was the up+ te 4/4. Thanks!
amanda, do you want to count up the s's and p's and we'll check and see if you have all of those?
jpb there's the perennial ag4/ that's a lab culture medium
I'm recounting again - will let you know as soon as I've figured it out ... or haven't figured it out and will scream for help!
I am down to 7, so I can help too in a few minutes. I hope.
ah that ag 4 is like the lead singer of Van Halen
now, for the clue on the si 6/27?
thanks Une
there are two ag 4's, jbp, van halen and change the last letter
got 'em, thanks ABe
yw jbp, thanks for the van halen
jbp: like the famous city in austria, only starting S.
that's si6/18
crayola crayon middle reddish brown color
thanks sprite and Une
found it - whew. It's a ur5/12 I'm missing.
I don't think I have an Si6/27.
amanda: the one with all the vowels perhaps?
according to lickety, there's isn't an si6/27
must be, Sprite *calls monkeys*
vowels in alpha order
I have all the S's and no Si6/27 amongst them.
FIREWORKS!!!!
amanda: order of the alphabeth.
i'm an idjit 27 = 16....
hooray for Anandacath!!!!!!
great job amanda!
wow, congrats, amanda!!!!
Congrats, Amandacath!
YEAH! ~*~*%*~* FIREWORKS ~*~*%*~* for amanda!
congrats amanda!
Whoohoo, Amandacath!!
Now 2 more Ts for me...
too funny jbp - the crayola crayon was the clue I was going to use for that word, should anyone need it (while I was not manically counting words)
the first an 5/10 i have is the licorice like one
is there one before it?
great minds, amandacath!
yes, the one that means not far away
So 1/2-hour while I wander around getting ready to go to the theater. Premiere tonight!
anear
thanks Une!
me too, jbp--it will ALWAYS be a crayon for me!!
Fireworks! :)
So sorry!!! That's the first time I've done that!!
and it's burnt
huzzah for Sprite!!
I'm shamed!!
right!!
lol Layne..thanks, i still needed that one!
layne, just get in line! :-)
Thanks Layne
Join the club, Layne. Happens all the time :)
Yay Sprite!
congrats sprite! i want fireworks!
Down to 100 words...... Takin' a break, BBL.......
Good luck hunting, all of you, and thanks for the fun and the help :)
hals & beinbruch, Amandacath for the play!!
yay, Sprite!
thank you too, sprite.
can't say the gratitude word - it's bad luck - but grateful vibes in your direction, jbp!
Break a leg, amanda :)
no whistling backstage... hey what part are u in the play?
I think it's my favorite pratchett novel
wird schon schief gehen!
nuh-uh! break a leg
90 words to go--BBL
congrats on finishing sprite! (was away from desk) bye une!
Pratchett is great
one nice thing about a grid like this, no matter where you look, you find something
Ah, the magic halfway number. List, here I come.
it's the standard reply, jbp - I'm Nanny Ogg, with a hilariously large butt!
as if nanny Ogg would have any other kind!
I missed part of this conversation, Amanda, but Is there any singing? Is it still a family show?
I'd love to see Nanny Ogg sing
well, you'll have to let us see pix at some point! and how long of a run is it?
Oooh - I love Pratchett - which one are you doing?
man, i really want SAPIENT to be in this puzzle...
nope, no singing and we've kept it fairly clean - as clean as Pratchett is, anyway. Nanny Ogg singing, hmmmmm - not sure that's something we want to subject our audience to!
I like the one about the wizard's staff with the knob on the end.
Ah well, the world might not be ready for a Pratchett musical
Wyrd Sisters - hopefully someone will put some pix in the net, I'll let you know
And the hedgehog song...
Actually, now that you mention it, I *do* remember the director asking me to sing something somewhere in the play - I'd forgotten about that, and evidently he did too since he hasn't said anything...(let's hope)
Aw, don't be wussy. Nanny Ogg can only be best portrayed when she's singing
And singing badly.
plus, it'll be a great moment to dance and shake her large backside
When you see the butt and the boobs they've put on me, you won't be calling me wussy! On the other hand, shaking that butt is quite fun...
hey, stumbled on to the tr9/60
clue please for tr9/60
i like all the pratchett's that feature Death, and by association, the Death of Rats....
its off the tr7/28. From the movie Casablanca. The letter of tr***** and then add what they did with them
ni4/4?
off spelling of the dark time of day
sorry if the clue is obscure, but I dont get many chances to reference Casablance
I havent seen casablanca, lol
I feel guilty about not seeing casablanca
hmm, that makes it harder, let me think a sec
sorry i meant ni4/5, not the one that's n+middle of march
Ok, I'm off - I'm sure I'll have funny stories to tell tomorrow!
tr+indef article (2 letters) plus not stand
have fun amandacath!!
lol, exactly what i was going to write
break a leg!
MARISUN, get thee to a video store or join netflix!!!!!!!!!!!!
just change the vowel at the end from from N+ middle of march (singular)
ag6/24 (not the one with the ga4/6 in it that means an entry) and the ag7/36?
well, off to teach bowling, back later
Matt: means godly love or wide open.
i feel so ni++ for asking for that clue
lol jbp, I will get right on it. I have the whole summer
same as the ag5/14, but with an extra consonant in it. Ag + a man's name, if that helps... and then the ag7 is plural
matty --it's like the ag5/14, but with a nasal sound inthe middle
thanks CadFan
Thanks jpb!
glad to help
hi everyone!
hi temple owl
so how's this one?
Good Afternoon, Temple Owl
i can't believe depants isn't on there
so.. anyone read Ann Coulter's new book?
so.. anyone read Ann Coulter's new book?
so.. anyone read Ann Coulter's new book?
ha, sorry, my log froze up
hi & holy moly - 326 words!?
neither are trannies...that's discrimination!
anyone habt the at s?
or have them! : )
yeah monk..I just tried that one
WHAt have i walked in on? trannies & Ann Coulter? I'm assuming we're not talking trannies as in the 5-speed on my nephew's Mustang.
yup
I was! lol
Melon: I was.. there's another kind?
lol
good, tn, "autoeroticism" is healthy - hahaha
may i please have a clue for the as5/12 that is not a tree?
well, there's the Castro Convertible - but they're from Havana ;)
a+ not the front or back but the ****
aside
okay, this time you really did lose me melon
hello fellow babblers.....hope y'all r fine......hugs to all...........
Temple's clue was much better than abe's!
whoops! i can see what kind of day this is shaping up to be....
hi mimie!
sorry - Castro Convertibles are sleeper sofas - it's a very NYC thing.
hee hee, TO.. you blatted.. welcome to the "I didn't move my cursor" Club!
temple, can you clue me the as 5- tree please?
hi temple.........
abe: it is also a ski resort : )
Does anyone have the 1st TE5/12? The one immediately between the 2 TE5/10s? Please?
thanks temple owl!
oh al - i am a lifetime member! : /
the at's are hiding from me - i only have the 4/4!
ohhhhhhhhh, so trannies was on the grid but not in the dictionary - it had nothing to do with Ann Coulter - her adam's apple notwithstanding.....
I'm so bad, it makes me chat-shy.. is that a word? Oh, it's hyphenated anyway..
That's not an adam's apple!
at + not a woman
Aloyisious it's too high up for a monoboob
That lump in her throat is her remorse for defending McCarthyism. Or it's cancer. either way you should feel bad.
ty for showing me there IS an m in this gird- LOL!
Does anyone have the 1st TE5/12? The one immediately between the 2 TE5/10s? Please?
hey, the h also hides!
hi minski! working forwards for a change - i think thta's why i'm so confused!
woops that was meant for jrh -
How about help with the third ma5/12
how bad should i feel????
well has anyone clued the large wrods today?
I heard that ma comes from heaven...
probably not that bad, she seems to enjoy the attention. unless it's cancer, then you should feel really bad
but maybe it comes out of the ground after a tuber is mashed up?
actually, i never watch her - i pulled the adam's apple remark out of thin air - i would bever wish ill health on her - hemmorhoids, maybe.
Hey temple and all!
she really is kind of mannish. However, the cancer joke is kind of the thing in my family right now. Both my parents have it and comedy is the family defense.
-a little explanation for my garishness if someone was offended. :)
ooh, 56 left and I definitely need a break... BBL..
I have st 8/50 and st 9/72 and tr 9/60, Temple...
who is ann coulter? : /
jrh, bit do i know that one - lost mom & youngest sis in the past 3 years. i have a biopsy comng up. 1st thought - "i'd better not die with a messy house - what will people think?"
chic! : D

Temple: I don't know.. Missouri maybe? I'm pretty sure she lives in New York.
actually she might not be red state - except as a state of mind.
umm, melon? Is that the only time you've worn new underwear? You should splurge
Coulter publishes out of Kansas City

hi stid
chic - can u hint me the large ones you have please? the 8's?
lol matty x bye
later matty...
and the nines?
sometimes the mega word ones seem easier than the small ones to me - you think?
I think you get a lot more bang for your buck with the big ones... I always feel smart when I get 300 words even if I don't finish
if they are compound they are...oh those t's are killing me!
here's a 9 - an astrological term for passed.
marygrace - are you there?
and it begins with?, MHJJ?

oh -- I forgot to change my icon... brb
Isn't that ru floor covering a 4/7? I need a 4/6.
thanks for the A melonhead!
did we already give clues for st/8 and st/9?
biblical name
sorry Merk....
tr 9 - sometimes used as a term for homeless
the A?
Is E psyched? Does she like it?
and a 9! hooray for melonhead! *hmm, maybe I should get my bicycle out....*
Duh! I didn't think we could use names.
how about st/8 - a pool of water without motion will slowly do this. St/9 is when it did it in the past.
lol....I don't know if she really knows. She likes it when she gets there, because it's all about her.
It will be fun this week, since she's walking a little now
yeah i stayed - couldn't leave w < 100 - up to 104
Can't wait to applaud in person for her.
:)
Hello everyone...
btw, 2nd nephew was out to house and mentioned the position at your work
big THANKS jrh!
hello Douglas!
the tu word?
which position?
the big one
leader of the pack
102 left. This is going to take me the better part of a day!
In The Fantastics, El Gallo says "Now I know you prefer abduction but the proper word is ****! It's short and businesslike!"
So R is telling people about it?
apparently he talks to nephew 2 about it; M says R wants the cc job more than city leader
I have 230 left. good thing my back is hurting so I am not able to work in the garden.... :-(
who knows, though. i don't think r is completely honest about anything until after the fact; doesn't want to want something and have everyone see him not get it
stid: why oh why did i start this one?
...so that he can prove that they were so wrong before not to pick him...
Jesus said to the Pharisees, "Blind guides! You strain out a **** and swallow a camel!"
By the way, what is the icon theme for today?
dunno TempleOwl... perhaps you're actually as crazy as I am? LOL
yeah
you can do it temple owl!
Douglas, how do you remember all these quotes? I am in awe.
<sigh>
July 1, we are hearing, there will be some change
Babble is hard today....overwhelming
di9 so i can leave & get on w/my day?
we can all do it! we just have to buckle down and stop being sociable...
how about some u clues?
one who has an agurment
oh wow....that's close
Douglas: I'm impressed too. Though, I think the camel quote will stick with me.
do you know what kind of change?
i got di8
right. different icon. I got the di 9 too! thanks phandmd!
di 9. one who argues (ends in bug) what is the di 8 melonhead?
When Luke Skywalker came to Bespin, he heard Leia saying "No Luke! It's a ****!"
Yes, new chair says resignation or boot. Not sure if there will be legal battle, though.
ahh - found phans clue - many tx
is R leading replacement?
okay, these iris are no longer blooming, but they're prettier than the icon theme for today!
How come you are still just a man head?
tx abe. now, for real - no kidding -
BYE!
Yes, new chair loves R almost as much as Paul.
lol....I had to read that a couple of times to get that
later melonhead...
just never looked for an icon. where did you get yours?
bye melon!
snatched it from the grade school website
NO WAY.....NO ONE love r as much as Paul
hi everyone!
R and P sittin' in a tree..
hi helen!
ap 5/12?
hi hk! stid - i misased the di 8 clue?
ummm.... did anyone else get the di 8 yet?
hi helenkeller!
no kidding
I don't think melonhead gave a clue before she left...
no, i'm need that one too stidmama and temple
what will you do?
what will your current boss do?
stay and work for J
will she stay?
don't have the di 8, but di 7/32 is "not close"
ty! got that one?
hiya stid, hi to
hiya abe :)
i did the sudoku, saw it was 'easy' & it might have been, but seems i have not yet engaged my brain today, even though i have already dealt with leaky sink, toilet & plumber (all better now!!!), but easy sudoku - just way beyond me - took over 1/2 an hour
She will stay, with cautious pessimism.
i just might as well go straight to the list here, lol
are you and the crew still coming up on the 4th?
that's what I did, helen!
it's not a bad board helen, i didn't need the list until about 100 left
i have 195 left
I am for sure. Asked for confirmation from the G's today. What is our mission this time?
I just don't do the sudoku -- I know how, and am sometimes successful, but I find it tedious. besides, this takes up enough time!
lol stid, you are a wise one!
Do I need to bring Lady Drill?
I have 210 left, making good progress so far.
I'm stuck on the last de7....any clues?
okay, I'm going to go back to work. Everyone have a nice afternoon.
the G's? The Grassers?
angelsong, do you have de 7- what you do when you spill ketchup on your white dress? (it is like a di7)
Yes.
bye jrh
Do we have to have a mission?
:)
abe -- despair?
I have returned!!!!!!
If I can get it cleaned out by then and the old infrastructure out, maybe we can redesign the pantry shelves
Woe is me! I have no 8's
hi movieman!
I have 28 words left.
the artist formerly known and now known again as Prince?
go Angelsong go!
I have a heaping 179 words left. LOL
Quite an accomplishment with today's puzzle Angel.
No, but I'd love to get my hands on a laundry room makover...
Correct, stidmama, the Purple One is 48 today!!!!!!
stidmama, were you referring to the de 7?
I'm having a wonderful time with this grid. it is awesome.
That would ROCK, but how long are you staying?
That room is just a MESSSSSS
but I think it is a great opportunity
btw, I like the inclusion of babbler blogs on the resource page... it's nice to read about other people's lives (not that I needed another excuse to be online...)
I was referring to what happens when I wear ANYTHING white! LOL I just can't keep 'em clean... (I got the word you meant though...)
We could do it in 2 days, I am confident of it. What's the budget?
lol stidmama. i'm the same way. although, i did wear a new white shirt the other day while making stuffed shells with sauce...very brave
hi marisun! I keep wanting to type marisol...
$100....just kidding....I'd have to work it out. Do you think we could do it with $250? I would love to do some shelves and some "wood" flooring (pergo or something)
extremely brave, abe! I need full grubby gear to do things like that.
what are your ideas?
down to 175 - 10 more minutes, then i gotta get on with my tasks, gas, lotto, hardware store - i need to fill my life with more fun, fewer chores
{{{{stid}}}}
So, I'm celebrating Prince's 48th birthday today, does anyone have any requests?
raspberry beret!
esquian, sorry to eavesdrop, but sometimes you can get pergo-like flooring cheaply at home centers -- if part of a box was damaged or something. Depending on how big your space is, that might be an option...
hi daisy!
lol abe -that's why i wear mostly black -white clothes are a magnet for every other color/substance
raspberry beret
"Let's Go Crazy!"
You got it. wassup!!!!!!!
i agree. i own excatly 1 white item
hiya wassssss, LOL
txs for the tip, stidmama....will look into it
LOL abe!
there are some boxes of pre-glued planks at our wholesale store, but I don't konw about the quality
Better use of wall and ceiling space, generally. And brighter, even if that just means paint or white pegboard. Can you send me a few digital pics?
wassup! hi there!
hi! good songs!
Currently listening to the Purple Rain soundtrack, so it'll be Let's Go Crazy, then Raspberry Beret.....
hi wassup
raspberry beret is among 4 songs that will get me dancing no matter the circumstances.
how many total today, anyone?
326, walnutchen
326
too many...326
thanks
does your phone accept photos? We finally bought new phones and got camera phones....since our digital camera doesn't work, it's the only fast option I have
although, the grid does seem to go rather fast today...
I am down to 205 after less than an hour.
My object all sublime I shall achieve in time — To let the punishment fit the crime — The punishment fit the crime; And make each prisoner **** Unwillingly represent A source of innocent merriment! Of innocent merriment!
i'm waiting for my mom (sueq) to drop molly off stid. Beeeebeeee!
thank you Mikado!
There is an inbox, so I guess so. Try it.
ok....just a quick second. It might cost you a little
DONE...anyone need a clue??
for a message
nicely done ouwachita!
no prob
ta 7? please. good job ouwachita!
mmm, yummy spanish appetizers in the grid
YAY Ouwachita! ummm, I need another 9 please, I have di, st and tr.
George Hamilton is the ta7 person I know
LOL, good clue ouwachita
lol ouwachita!. thanks
Yummy clue!
I would very much like to **** on those yummy Spanish appetizers
just sent it
now i'm hungry. i'm gonna go get some oatmeal.
I only sent one to test I'll send more if it works
stid...there are 2 tr9's
oatmeal you say?
amylou. you are lurking...
I just got buzzed...hang on
haha
I have the movable tr 9, Ouwachita, definition for the other?
Haven't been here for awhile, but what happened to the BA list, last list was on 5/31?
yeah, i'm trying to figure out new ways to feed the kids honey. our allergies are so bad right now.
k
they both involve moving...one it the past tense of the process and the other is the actual person
worked!
wassup, hope things are okay with the baby (Charlotte?) and that Molly is simply making a social call.
thanks Ouwachita! got it.
ty ouwa - gotta go - luch is over!
cool! I'm helping TJ with some letters than I'll go send some more. Do you recognize the one I sent you? It's that workbench as you come in the door
later Temple Owl!
ta 6/21 after cassettes
bye temple owl
Is there a clue for the st8/40 please?
Good afternoon. BAck for my last 139. I'm having a terrible time with the tr 8. I understand the definition but am not putting the right letter combo together.
I have the 9.
hi musicmom! how's summer vacation today?
yes, it grew stuff on it like kudzu...my mouth is watering to get in there.
Not too bad. The girls helped me clean my classroom today and now we are filling the swimming pool. Once it is filled my life will get a lot calmer
I have the st 8 and 9 from up above, the bad water. I need the st8/40 further down just before the thing in the night sky.
I can sit on the porch and babble while they play
tr8- across + beginning of ninth month
hey, i'll be back later. molly's here
the first tr 9 is the person who has no fixed address. the second is past tense of tr 7/28 which is to travel or cross...
dsp0705 -- there is now a new list to use -- click on Lickety's Babble Clues in the Friends of Babble and you will find a current list. BrandyJacks schedule shifted and so Lickety stepped up to fill the void.
later wassup!
hi Woulf!
merk - st8 a man's name+ not day
no work today?
Maybe that picture takes the place of your man head! : )
hi stid -- I was debating joining in since my break is so short, but no one was answering dsp
THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I got it!!!!
lol....yes, that is what the inside of my head feels like at times.... We did do some stuff in our room this week, though, and it looks pretty darn good
I didn't see dsp's post... the log moves so fast these days it's hard to keep up.
I don't think i would have ever done that combination
I usually lurk while hunting during my break, but this monster is too much for me to start today
it is definitely a hefty one today Grey!
this is a big grid, for sure!
Thanks much, Mary Grace
I tend to pick and choose my grids lately, I like to at least have the illusion of finishing before I start
Yesterday's caught me off guard -- I gave up to play Literati with 55 left to find
hi GW:)
Hi musicmom and daisy!!
Yesterday's was a lot harder than it seemed at the onset
Hi GW - I've been picking and choosing play and chat time too
sounds like a reasonable decision to me, Woulf! Literati is more immediately satisfying, I think.
Indeed it was, mm, but I had fun while I was hunting and stopped before the frustration factor ruined the fun
yes it is Stid
can't wait to see it and see you and all the fam.
That is always a good idea GW
Lit is also is a much easier forum in which to have a discussion with a select few, stid :)
I want to get halfway before taking a break from the grid. I need about 30 more words.
I have never played literati
Good afternoon/evening all. I only had time to get a few words this morning, so there's a lot of catching up to do.
oh MM! you'd love it!
Hi Haz Come join the fun
yes, Literati is definitely "cozier" :-)
hi Haz!
I'll have to check it out. How do I do it?
I may not finish, but am ready to do what I can!
That's the spirit, Haz!!
hi haz!
not sure I'll finish either but there are some fun twists in this one
Literati is on Yahoo games. if you have a yahoo ID, we could set up a "table" and invite you in. unfortunately, there are WAY more trolls in the Literati open tables than we ever get here...
Hiya, Haz!!!!!!! {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}
that's why I lurk on big days -- I still try to find the words, just don't spend the energy to type
*reaches for troll repellent*
I do have a yahoo id. I think it is musicmom110. I need to double check
I see max
Oh thank you movieman! (and everyone else - thank you for the greetings!)
Ok, thanks, found it
Okay this one is too big --- going to use the list in earnest
But I am gonna go for now -- dsp -- welcome back and as always, don't hesitate to ask for help -- these are some of the best people around!!
Woulf, will you be on later for Literati then?
{{*Hugs for everyone*}}
see you later, GW!
Thanks grey woulf, but this puzzle is way too big for me today
I am gonna do my level best, stid -- I already promised daisy a seat ;)
Bye GW - have a good afternoon
okay :-) see you later maybe!
I'll be ready!
"I was once an exceedingly odd young lady-- Suffering much from spleen and vapours. Clergymen thought my conduct shady-- She didn't spend much upon linen-drapers. It certainly entertained the ****rs. My ways were strange Beyond all range-- Paragraphs got into all the papers."
di 9?
musicmom, when you are ready to try Literati, let us know!
mm- the boss just left for the day -- of course I will have a good afternoon :-D
but right now...I need to get up from here for awhile. I think Big Boy is coming home tonight.
I will Stid
That was Sir Despard and Mad Margaret's duet from Ruddigore
That is always wonderful GW
di 9 was clued as one who argues... holler if you need more
I'll leave my IM up if anybody wants me.
thank you Douglas, Ruddigore is one of the ones I haven't seen or read yet!
Hey stid - if I go there is there anyway to know if any of you all are on?
thx stid!
I have the same screen name on Yahoo -- the best way might be to IM one of us or see if we're here and just ask...
One of the floor, one of the ceiling and and one directly of the wall facing the w/d would help.
okay - tomorrow we don't have anywhere to go ---- day or night. May check that out
okay, let me know! :-)
BRB - just going to check the water level on the pool
Whew* 4 left- di9,72, st9,72, st8,40 and tr9,54
For some reason it won't send them now
which ones did you get?
esquian, do you mean me? I need all 4, thanks
I'd like some Italian ***** to go along with the yummy Spanish *****.
back later, phone. (go rumple go)
aahhhhhh it's gettin ghtere
rumple - stid's clue -- di 9 is one who argues
st9 is past tense of st8
I don't have st8
pool of water that doesn't move- st 8
st8 - rancid water
Got Left as you come in, Through door, and Wall above right of dryer
te5/ 12 anyone?
I've got the tr9, st8, st9... can't figure the di9... am I missing any other biggies?
This is enough to go on. Don't worry about more. I know you are busy.
ok, down to 120 - i must go do errands -don't want to, but MUST - and here i go, see ya all later :)
Stuck again. I need the ST 7/28 that comes after what you did in the sun.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom, watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, another day's useless energy *****.
grace di 9 === when some one disagrees with a will the di7 (not in the grid) it. They are the di9
di 9 - one who argues - clue that won't die. te5 - like spanish finger food, change first vowel from first to second
bye helenkeller
There are two tr 9 words (that I know of). One is a fleeting word, the other to do with movement
bye helen
I mean the TA 7/28 word ... sorry about that.
merk, like george hamilton. extra crispy
ah... got the di9...thx!
sorry....have to run. Time to wake E and T&M are bugging me. Gutter guys are here now too. You will probably get a couple more later when it resends. I can try to get the others later. TTFN LYB
bye esquian
down to 9 words now.
traup
crap
How did I miss that?! Thanks. I am also missing the ta5/12 that comes before the word for what you use to mend a torn sheet of paper.
o good it didn't work
I have a ta5/12 that is the plural of a 4/5 before that one merk
Oh, I got it. I could come from the other direction ... hate it when that happens.
remove the R, then insert an E, for one word, MM, and there is a plural for it. it's a color.
wow, angelsong... that's great! I'm back for another go-round after some mowing..
thanks Angel. Appreciate the help
I have just a little over 20%...bbl, ttfn all
I'm looking for the last tr5/12 is it tra or tru?
bye douglas
Bye Douglas
got it --- nevermind
musicmom, do you have the tr 7 at the end of the trs?
Yes it is a plural of the 6 before it
thanks mm, i think i'm missing some 5's and 6s..
musicmom~ have you finished?
Not even close. I have 115 left
How are you doing?
okay, except my DSL here at the church is SOOOOOO slow. I still have 233!
I keep going in fits and starts --- find a bunch and then nothing. I did go to the list - got tired of retyping the same words over
Still have 98 to go .. this will take forever.
I'm sure I'll go to the list when I get home. no sense in staring it on this computer and then finishing at home
finally! now i'm under 200 left to go:)
that's true.
Days like today i always hope that my computer doesn't freeze up and I have to start over
we can do it!!!!!!!!
yes we can
I feel like Bob the Builder
i feel like a barbie- no brains, good hair
this will be endless, i have my 11 month old niece here today. she's climbing me.
I don't even have the good hair<G>
how about dora the explorer. big head and a monkey?
does anyone have the ta 6/21 (after thing used to fix paper rips ) or the te 5/12? i wish i had a monkey , with a very advance vocabulary...
I have two monkeys here today
I can't help you abe. i'm stuck at the top of the te list. I have three 4/4 and 5/10 but something is telling me I've marked them in the wrong order
I have a te 5/12 - differs from the ta5/12 Spanish snacks by one vowel
I have that one Haz.
there is one ealier in the list
Then there must be another which I also don't have!
5/12 - recording media
thanks haz, i have that one too. the t's are killing me right now
ru6/27 anyone
i mean ta5/12
will I ever see the end of the "P's"????
ru + entrance to a garden
thanks laptha, i actually need the 6 right after that, if you have it!
okay abe - after the singular cow udder there is a 5/10, 5/12, 5/10 the plural is one of these 5/10s --- any idea on the other 5/10 or the 5/12?
te's musicmom?
yes - I'm sorry I didn't say that
clue for tr9 after homeless person
Fireworks!!!!! whew, what a grid!
ok, te 5/10 plural cow udder, te 5/12 ?, te 5/10 spanish imperfect of to have,
I know your ta6 --- ta+animal friend+vowel
abe, i see you're engaged to be married. when is the big day?
ty abe79 took awhile -slow on the draw today lol
BRAvO Angel
tr9/60 past tense of tr7/28 - relating to something being moved
so the plural of the cow udder is the first 5/10?
that's a good question wassup...i'm not quite sure! thanks mm. yes, the plural udder is the first 5/10, as
thanks
okay i got the other 5/10. Now Looking for the 5/12
I cannot beloieve I finished this grid.
oh, i see. we're just the same age and i was curious. :)
yay angelsong!
baby just broke the enter button on the laptop.
are we? i've beeen with fiance for almost 3 years, but we havn't set the date, we're procrastinating :)
WTG, Angelsong!
i love your icon wassup
The te5/12 is weird abe ---- double a third vowel in it. You should be able to get it alphabetically and by the numbers
yeah. i don't blame you. it's such an ordeal
Finshed! What a relief ... that had to have been my longest one yet. Now I have no excuse not to finish my work.
thanks, that was from last night when the flip happened. we all were like "holy crap" so it began.
BRAVO MERK!
thanks musicmom! wow, that is a weird word, would have never monkeyed....go merk!
Congratulaitons Merk!
I can nearly type today...
hurrah, Merk!
Thanks!
it was the only thing that worked alphabetically or I would have never monkeyed it.
this board is kind of tiring
hi all - 326?!?!?
*~*~CONGRATS ANGEL*~*~*
Hi Everyone
Hello faeriekae!
hi faerie
Hi Faerikae, how's the grid coming for you?
Hi Faerie
Gah! Too many words. I hate anything over 200 words. I'm only a little over half way on this one.
{{{MusicMom}}}
Thanks {{{{{faerie}}}}}}}
i gotta go. kids are driving me to insanity. we need to go outside and burn off some energy
Hi Abe!!!!
abe - do you have the first ta6/18? Do I need a fish?
since I stopped obsessing over completeness, I've come to love these huge ones. I can come back to them throughout the day and always find something new
no, mm, you do not need a fish. hang on, let me get it
ta + singer of "sail away", change the penultimate vowel
ty
OKay, back to work. I'll see you all later
bye bgl
bye bgl
bye bgl
OHHHH *that* Sail AWay. Got it now
I thought STYX
YEY! All my t are grey
lol, I thought randy newman
wow, that's great musicmom! congrats. sorry for the random clue
hi everybody! how are we all doing?
Hi :) ...how many words in today's grid?

YAY, Rumple!
Congratulations Rump!!!!
musicmom, i am missing the ti 6/18, 5/12 and 5/10 after the plural of parts of a fork. if any of them are fishy, i'll get them
yay rumple!
ok, like the 5/12 is fishy. duh
abe -- the plural of fork parts is the LAST 5/10 --- the other fit before that. see if you can get them. If not, I'll clue you
my ti's need organization..thanks musicmom!
Not the last last abe ---- but in that set
grayed t's, finally. thanks musicmom!
np yw
I see some people are, or were, working in the Ts. So.....Does anyone have the 1st TE5/12? The one immediately between the 2 TE5/10s? Please? Thanks.
thats a tough one minski --- it has a double 3rd vowel in it
Between musicmom and A2Z I found it. Thanks. I've been looking for that one all day and never would have found it.
Still missing 9 Ts though.
*takes deep breath* ok. back for my last 59 words. 59??? yikes!
Hello Atalante - you can do it!
Go ATa Go
at 5/12 please
evening ruthy
at + not woman
I guess I miscounted. Only missing 2 Ts now.
ty abe
perhaps I should find my last 8 - I've got 2 st and a tr. What am I missing?
evening ruthy!!!
pa I think ata
yes
The TR4/7 maybe. Not a word I've ever heard of.
yw ruthy
pa? *ponders*
OK. I'm only missing one TA word. It is the TA7/28. I'm sure I'll want the fish, but does anyone have it for me please?
evening sha trying to keep my eyes open long enough
it's a plural ata
lol ruthy
oh no! that means I have to find a 7 as well! LOL
tr 4/7 is a gardening basket, minski
ta7/28 is the superlative for ta4/4 - bad for the skin!
hi everyone
Sorry ata. Just reread your post. You have more 8s than I do.
Thanks Haz. I knew I would need the fish. Could someone please toss it over here?
ty Layne, don't be too envious, I should have been spending those 4 hours doing laundry, cleaning my parrot's cage and fixing lunch, plus a little cleaning. LOL - So much more fun though to Babble.
We'll probably all feel like slapping ourselves by the end of this Minski!
The Ts are greyed out. On to the S words.
they are tough minski. I'm working on sn right now
And who uses a word like the TA7/28 anyhow? Noone tans these days.
I'm missing a k 4, it's one of the last two - the last I have is an incorrect spelling of feline (plural) , I have the 5/18 - what am I missing?
Anyone heard from Aussieme?
nevermind - seemd I tried this before and it didn't work but this time it did.....
CadFan -- Citizen Ka** and plural
hi stid
hi stid! how many words left for you? i've got 116 to go ;)

anyone have ga 6 24 or 27? hi boreetos
ga6/24 is a seabird.
hi boreetos!
hi firefly1 166 to go!
:)
ga6/27 sounds like a cross between a swinging garden door and a frenchman's hat..
ga27 is ga + last 4 letters of a french cha****
Got the ST8!
thanks haz and rumple
In case anyone was wondering, I'm still here, just been using Lickety to get my last 30+ words......
I mean, frenchman's house in the country... oops

It's French for cake (ga6/27)

stid. hi. can i have a clue for the st8/40?
tr8/45
katana and mantis...phantom words the sound cool.
stid you need a tr8
st 8/40 sounds like a mineral. Man's name like short for st**ley steemer + bad spelling opp of day
and a clue for the pa8 or its singular pa7?
thanks musicmom...
st8/40 = man's name + opposite of day
with double consonent in middle
I need the ru 4/6 pls...pretty pls!

thanks much

ru4.7: add the first vowel to the thing you cover the floor with..
I am missing the last 2 ST5/14s. Does anyone have them?
sorry

thanks rumple again!
woot for august!
no, I need the 4/6 ru...
ru 4/6 is a woman
thanks!
a Biblical woman
st5,14's are st + 5th vowel + not "ma" and second one change last letter to 2nd vowel
feels like the site is bogging down. I am going to head out and try again later so as to avoid frustratin. thanks for the help all!
minski - a dumb person nickname and same word different vowel ending
Bye Stid, good luck. Signing off too
bye stid

thx, looking...
Thanks Rumple.
how many words today?
326
326
wow that many. thank you
Une, may i have some further clues on those 9's? just point me in the right direction... :)
di9 eariler clue was argumentative picnic insect
which tr9 do you have?
i have the one that's a boarder
there's a guy just passing through and there's the past tense of tr7/28
don't have the 7 yet, so that'll be a stumbling block for a bit ;)
when the NYC subway doesn't run, sometimes it's because there's a tr***** strike
Does anyone have a clue for the di9?
great clue Une, thanks!
yw!
fit1, see 2:24 for one clue...
clue for di when you get to fat you need to go on di**
thanks une ! you're helping me too!
hi everyone - looking for lat or 2nd last MA5.12 pls (not the house) - thanks
do you have the bread from heaven?
hi lynxxx --- any chance you have heard from Aussieme? since you're in the same time zone, maybe she's been on when we've been asleep?
thanks Uneaixoise -- I didn't have any ma's before that!
another ma5/12 is the pastor's house
Have bread from heaven - its the next 5.12 after that I think.
Hints please for either/both ta 6/18
I have have the last letters of the di9 thanks to the 2:24 clue. And I have the first three letters because it's all it can be based on the words beforw and after it. . It's the middle three that are getting me nuts
the one that's a sea creature, second word is Ray
lynxxx -- try shark relative ma*** ray
Hi Stid - haven't seen Aussieme but it is only 5.30 am here and still pitch black (as well as v. cold)
ta6 sounds like someone who bronzes in the sun professionally
TY stid & firefly - thats the one
that's right...you poor things are in winter now:(
fit-the word is not that arcane...the first part is a common word- think dis____ resolution (alternative to court). The last part is the picnic insect
what's this ma that's a house? i don't get it...
okay -- well we haven't heard anything since she went to the hospital -- if you do manage to see her, please let her know that we are thinking of her and the baby. Thanks.
im missint a ma 4/5its one of the last two clues please?
firefly -- a large house is a ma**ion. slightly smaller but still well appointed has same first four letters, ends in vowel
ty very much stid, nice clue
M3: there is another spelling for the bread from heaven -- I think it's really a type of spirit...
ma4/5 - opposite of shiny
down to 147...
145 here
100 left here
haz thanks
You're welcome M3
down to 103 but boy is it a slog!
*stomps foot* Daisy! you are SO competitive! LOL
good morning all
that grayed my m's :)
hello Rlee!
lol nah....just coincidence
50!
mine too--woohoo!
fit-did you find the di9?
i have a new objective now when i cant guess anymore i get the word list and get all the 4's !!!!then hopfully the rest follow !!!
actually, that grayed mine too, and I was not even "working" on them!
good plan M3, let us know how it works out!
tenna
i STILL can't figure the di9 either, i'm with fit (or so I think..)
I still need 5 m's *sigh*
will do stid, tried it yesterday worked ok !!! ish
I finally got that di9. Thanks guys for your help
hi buys... i am not getting the ma bread from heaven alternate spelling, or the not shiny one
another word for an argument, a disagreement is a dis____. take off the last vowel and add the picnic insect
fire. Think of an argument and a picnic ant.
M3, i did that yesterday, but i was left with 5 and 6 letter words, and didn't finish :(
but i can help or try to on the di9...
di 9: di +plural of cough phlegm (5 letters) end like picnic insect (last two letters)
definition of babble addiction: getting up at 4am so you get showered, fed, pets fed and ready for work so you can spend 30 minutes here before going to work ;p
di+first 4 letters of 1st soviet spacecraft+picnic bug
ma4/5 not shiny is also a short version of a man's name.
Congratulations fit!
ooooohhh I['m sorry. I gave away the last 3 letters. Mea culpa!!!!
Rlee -- definitely more addicted than I am!
Stid's kid's name, in fact;)
aha!! one who argues a point, got it!
actually, stid's brother's name. kid uses "full big" name. :-)
is anyone else having problems right now in entering words? it is very, very slow here.
ahh ic:)
It's only slow here because I can't think of any at the minute!
Rlee - and what is wrong with that!
it is intermittently slow, but hasn't crashed yet... *fingers crossed* *which makes typing harder*
yes, the brain slowness is constant, but the computer problem in intermittent and yes stid, Im keeping my fingers crossed to. Was hoping that the problems were really fixed.
woot! finished my Rs
still not getting them
heyaz ny1 called karen in here know me?
woot is such a great word!
"only" up to 43 p's--aarrgghh!!
isn't it! I love it!
I think they are fixed, Eva, but with all them Aussie and other down-underers logging in for their pre-work fix... ;-) just a lot of traffic
jpb -- what are you looking for again?
Up hre in Vermont lot of people say "Yikes" which I also like. But I think I'll start using woot more.
Boy am I stuck!
I would like to get my other ur 5/1 before I head out for the afternoon... I have the one that sounds like "unwrite" no idea about the other.
hi Lynx
ur + vowels in alpha order
I'm stuck, too, Eva - chewing on some gummibears for inspiration..
stid, i'm looking for ma words...
thanks jbp!
syw
There are some who would say we have a ma5/12 for finding words in babble.
i didn't understand ma+not shiny
ma food of gods alt spelling
just got the di7/36 which was a lesson in trying something which I was sure couldn't be a real word.
that's a dumb word. *grumble*
jpb: ma "not shiny" or like a small rug on the floor... double last consonant
ma plus two consonants (the same one) is the non-shiny, sortened boy's name
the ma 4/5 "food of the gods" takes one middle consonant out.
fish please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
with or without scales, jbp? LOL
Looks like your icon has been abused already!
heyaz its ma first time on here sum1 help!!!!!!
clue for that di7/36 Eva?
welcome, daniii93
danii - look at Angelsong's resource page (under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page) for details on how to play.
The same prefix as the di9, and then what you do with a comb to make half of your hair go one way and the other half the other way
danii, ask nicely and tell us what you are looking for, after reading Angelsong's page.
Atalante, you took the words right out of my,um, hands!
what a silly word!
yes Ata, why not just say cleave? lol
so ma 6/21?
thnx Haz1558
thnx Haz1558
ma 6/21 is a plural jbp...
plural the heaven sent food jbp
*passes anchovies to jbp*
That's okay, dannii.
i didn't realize ity coud be plural....
i'll have smelts please
gdgdg :D
(among my least favorite fish)
Can I just whine for a minute about the weather? We are all turning pasty white (at least those of us who are caucasian)...everything smells of mildew, and when the sun does come out for a few minutes we all peer at it like moles who have lost the abilitiy to process sunlight. Whimper, grizzle, piddle, winge, moan, complain, complain, complain. Okay, I know there are people in the world with real problems much greater than a lot of rain, so I'll stop now.
Eva - you must live in the northeast. we are also white here.
i'm with you eva...and once it stops and gets hot, there's gonna be a gazillion mosquitoes....
eek!
*sends jbp a case of Deet*
ny 1 called karen willoughby on here???? tlk plz!!!
My parents are having a party at the cape this weekend and there will be 30+ people including kids in our house on saturday. I'm not looking forward to it. (insert eyes rolling smilie here)
tx Daisy
eva, and some of us have sprinklers going all day . . .
Eva - living in a country that sees a lot of rain, I sympathise. But the sun will come out, eventually.
Eva, sounds like a normal Spring in the Pac NW! LOL just don't forget to put on sunscreen when the sun finally does make an appearance. Can always tell a northwesterner by the sunburn the second day of vacation...
I am totally missing all the a's, and i've been monkeytyping my fingers sore
probably need a couple fish
we haven't even taken our hoses and sprinklers out of the shed yet this year.
fish? we are growing gills here.
okay, need to go change before I have coffee with my dad and pick up the kids... see you all later!
apparently Nashville is hermetically sealed--we got a little rain a few days ago--when my mom who's only an hour away got THREE INCHES!
It's one of the few things I miss about not living in Boston any more...just about everyone here is white, and mostly Yankee. In Bosston my neighborhood was half Spanish speaking, and then a wonderful rich palate of colors, foods, languages, musics. I miss it a lot, but not enough to move back to the city. But when we moved to Vermont I didn't think I was moving to a semi-tropical region with a monsoon season
hi
hi
where is your mom, Une? mine is almost on the Ala. line and got drenched!
Cumberland Plateau
an's I have: (hints for the others are welcome): a+close, an+neuter german pornoun, licorice, girl's name and its plural, rhymes w' bringer of Xmas gifts, little bugs
anyone no some words
so, pabtrek, do any of those help?

piglover - thanks, but don't post words in the log please.
and as5/12 tree?
church part?
yep got that one Une
Plural monkey can be turned around.
good one with the tree!
hae neither church nor monkey
y???
as5/12 tree? uneaixoise
the monkey one means to mimic
in CO.
as5/12 tree in the Western US
don't forget the tides
ah, got that one and the plural and the past tense
haz1558 y??????
tides?
We want to find the words ourselves. That is the point of the game.
sorry haz - just trying to help with a clue
and not realising that the clue contained a word, I'd guess
traceymoo - I was replying to piglover not to you. Sorry for any misunderstanding!
tht's ok haz - just jumped in myself!
i dont understand when you say as5/12, what does the fraction mean
the last 4 an words?
word starting w/ as , having 5 letters, woth 12 oints
5 letters 12 points
insects
saffirw?
saffire?
ohhh thanks
as 5/12 - means that the word begins with as, has 5 letters and the points value is 12.
tracymoo does it so wats wrong if i do it
5 letters total or after the as
we prefer that no one does it, pig
second ag6/24 anyone?
once in a while, but not on purpose
piglover, sometimes players do it by mistake, then apologise. We do not put the words in deliberately.
what did i do?????
ag+ nickname for mr. hawthorne
ag6/24 ag + main male character in Six Feet Under
you're fine T-moo.
thanks jbp!
yw...
'm not going to finsih today, but i'll share what I do have
thx jbp - a true friend you are!!
ag + nickname for Nathaniel
ooh, Une, i loved that show
shucks, T-moo
thanks jbp and une
me too . . . I've watched the final episode 3 or 4 times and boohooed each time!
i don't know why my icon is back to yesterdays... i switched it this AM...hmmmmm
did any 1 finish
ok - today I have only 1/3 of the words after an hour - is it me or the grid?
i'm stuck on one of the an 4,5 combos at the end, i have the licorice and the woman's name. can anyone help?
woman's name plural?
nate
rhymes w. Mr. Clause
buglets
it's the grid tracymoo! i was up till almost 3:00 last night and still had a bunch to do
There's one that sounds like answer and its plural
jbp, i have those
oooh fran - i'm just not that dedicated....
answer?
those were the ones haz, thanks!
tracymoo, after 1:00 am it became a mission!!
i only have the devoured(s) one of the at words... anyone?
well, fran, I suppose it would at that hour lol
Maybe I should say the way English people pronounce answer.
jbp, at5/12 is at+not a woman
that's the only one I have jbp
any 1 finish
at5/12 - add a male, then pluralise for at6//21
thanks haz!!!
and think of communion-ware for two of the pa/ words
tens
the 6/21 is the plural and the at4/5 is minus the last letter
thanks haz
ooops - dang dang dang
thanks franmag
what about the first as5/12
those are silly silly words
not ashore, but as++
that's the only as 5 I have
many grid words do seem silly - i've learned lots of vocab here!!
and lcearly I can't count, because it's as 4...
thanks jbp
I'm not sure if the as5/12 - a whispered comment is the first or not.
the other as5 word is the tree/place in C O.
sorry jbp just checked my words got all the as's :0
oh, thanks haz!
this grid has fried my brain
at 4/5... not devoured(s)
word in here that starts with t
at+mommy
jbp still gives the BEST clues
lol thanks T-moo
wish I weren't sometimes so dense at finding them
;-)
i really do get my shre of fish here, too, jbp
de 5/12... i have teeth, what happens when you whack a car
YES - i didn't see those either!! fish fish fish
de5/12 - plural church official or university head
good one haz - those I had tho
de5/12 - one who believes in god
or a least A god
thanks Haz!!
iput this word in and said not found in dictionary and i looked it up and it was in the dictionary its so gay
i didn't realize there was another n over there!!!
and what word was that?
kant
university/church guy (person)
university/church guy
yeah piglover - no guarantees
crap
piglover: that happens often, because words like "napa" are in other dictionaries, but not in the ENABLE dictionary that is used as the reference for this game...
ooo
what grade u guys in
You just have to accept it like the rest of us. Or not play the game if you don't enjoy it.
right now I'm stuck on sa6/21 - anyone?
i'm missing more de words... here's what I have: college official & pl, one who believes in god(s), where boyscouts hang out, bucky de** and plural, leave/leaves, sounds like scorn
or to take dirt off a shirt
sa 6/21... sa+consonant+ guided trip without one vowel.
de6/24 - a lack of something
I'm in retro grade....
d+ea5/12
I was thinking that I'm low grade...but retro grade sounds nice
thanks haz!
averyone already got the brownish one
thank you, jbp: I got it!
de 5/14?
Moo from the crayola crayon color?
thanks t- moo... missed that one!

stupidididity
Not scorn - different 2nd and 4th letters!
jilli sounds like scorn...
yeah, the imaginary language i talked to my invisible twin with when I was little
;-)
hm... it has to havea different third letter too. There's no o in this puzzle
di 7/36?
how about a di 7/32, i have the far one ...
di + what you use a comb to do to your hair when you want it to go in two different directors
directions that is
7/36 = di verbal fight + consonat
thanks deb!
anyone have a clue for ap6/21?
Hi Aloy!
I really really don't want to go to the list ... but these last words are driving me mad!
anders di 7/32 is what i just did by spilling my diet coke on my white tee shirt

ga6/27 - entry to a field plus the start of an antipodean country.
tndaisy: try the first three letters of the swinging garden door and end with the last part of a french country home
lol tndais !
ok I think I can find it now; ty all:)
I have come to the conclusion God only wants me to Babble. My washing machine totally died Monday morning, a belt broke on the mower after only 3 or 4 passes (I had one of my sisters come out and adjust the seat for me 'cuz of my wrist). So here I am.
got it! thanks again....*wishing they'd had foreign languages at my elementary school*
well broll - that would explain it for sure! sounds good to me - "i'm on a mission from god!"
oh brother, when it rains, it pours. Trouble supposedly comes in threes, so that should just about do it for you... I hope. Hey, meanwhile you have the right attitude... babble on!!!
lol helen
But daisy - you'd have had to learn an awful lot of languages to cover the words that occur in babble!
I'd settle for Spanish and Dutch, actually....
Time to scoot... good luck, all..
good eve!
Well, I am going to settle for 218 words and not going to bother with the list. Bye everyone!
bye haz :)
hiya evan :)
bye aloy :)
this here is a monster, i'm not touching it, it might bite
The Rs are greyed out.
Hi all!!!
Hi all!!!
I now have 200 words. If I don't get another single one, I feel like I accomplished SOMETHING.
hiya peri :)
the si 6,18?
The si6/18 is a color with a double consonent
ah, thank you, Minski
MInski, can't figure out the si6/18 - color?
it may be burnt
off for more lovely housework....but will be back
PLEASE, I need the 8's...all of them.
BryanC, thanks, now I got it. Burnt si**** was a color in Crayola crayons when I was a kid
pa 8 what doctors have plural
great, peri! ; D
Alien, the one I have is st8/50 and it's something (usually a liquid) stale, or the act of it going stale
ooooh, thanks. For some reason today I cant see the words.
also, hello everybody
hello
hmmm - it wouldn't take 'dietpants' - and i have a whole bunch of those (pants you can only fit into after crash diet) lol
it wouldn't take seitan either
i said that purely for comedic effect - i don't pay attention to my weight
lol helen!
the first or second sn 5,12? i have the one whose last 4 is a type of tide
tx fran- hate it when my wit goes unappreciated :)
sn 5/12 = sn***ly whiplash
Haz,
bryanc, sn5/12 is sn+place to walk minus first letter
Is your atipodean clue also a french cake?
anyone have a clue for the di9/72?
i do not :(
di9- some1 who argues about whatever
thanks FranMag- got it
FranMag, can't figure out your clue :(
gramma - i've seen that clue before & it's not sinking in - i keep thinking of contrarian
FranMag, got it, was looking in the wrong direction
peri, place to walk is a pa4/6
same here gramma! i need one more letter i think. i'll try to google it first
yay, got it, used the one look reverse dictionary that's linked from angelsong's babble page helen
is there a really good clue for the 9 out there. I read the other one, and still cannot see it.
fran - i hate to say it, but that's way too much work for me, lol - i belong to lazy-anonymous
alien, an argument is a di****e, the one who argues is a di9/72
hey fran, what happened to you the other night?
If 2 people argue they are having a di7. Lose the last letter and add a little bug.
oops, meant to say helen!!!
well, fran, when you put it that way, piece of ga****!, tx
DI + 1st 3 letters of cowboy boot accessory + on star trek they had strange combo life form called a Mu*****- take the last 4 letters
yw helen!
in7/32? i have the planet one
FranMag, don't have that one yet
hi, all--helen, ty for Mr. Whiplash :-D
in+ed4/5+1st vowel
hi libarebel!
hiya libs :)
how about the in6/21s?
oggy, thanks, what an odd word
thanks oggy, what a strange word!
FranMag, looks like we are on the same wavelenght
in6 opposite of outside
of course it has no definition!!
finally got the DI 9....thanks. I kept thinking of disagreement.
biggie today! alas I have no time to Babble :(
thanks oggy! i need a fish for that one! aargh
I need the first 2 p words... 5/12 and 6/21, any clues
it's a long tedious one too krys!
though if i were playing i'd keep wanting to put in katydid!
i'll stick to sudoku today - summer vacation's in a week, and then i will have more time to play
ok, diving back in! was on the phone earlier
anders, the 5/12 is a type of velvet, looks like a cooking implement with double consonant and extra vowel at the end
those aren't the first two Ps though
pa+2ndvowel+1stvowel+upside down u
pa6/21 is plural of that one
thanks fran and oggy!
thanks oggy! i swear i tried that one!
thats ok fran
I keep wanting to put pageant
wow, only 20 of the 54 Ps so far. ugh.
any clues for the U?
hiya feather !!!
anders, i have a couple of times already, still not working!
allo helen! missed racing you the other night
feather - i'm sorry we missed each other here yesterday, cause i was masquerading as "feather-be" - since my mask was surrounded by a halo of white feathers!
what's the second pa6/21
Woo-hoo my s and t's are finished... but I still have 114 words! :9
lol, darn, sorry i missed that too! i was briefly here, but sadly fell asleep with the computer on my lap on the couch at 8:30
yeah, sorry about that feather - when i get out in the yard, one thing leads to another .... and only the complete darkness gets me back inside :)
lol, that's ok
pa6/21--what an inventor has
go bgl!!
can race now - i need 72, what about you
pa6 same as 1st but put the s after the 2nd vowel
...........
259 left
?
thanks oggy
ROFL
found 185 words without the list, proud of myself, appreciate all of the clues
lol, i just started not long ago
that's about as many as i have - 256, LOL
141 to go
*SIGH*
that's great peri, i went to the list a lot sooner, good thing too, i miss the plurals & don't have words i was sure i put in - if i type too fast, then it misses some words & i don't know it
helen, you speed demon you!
need a biiiiig fish, just found pa 5/12, noodles
well feather, i was planning on going out into the garden shortly, so maybe by the time i come back we can be more even - or just may be finished ! :)
hi guys - are there any th words so i can stop looking at it?
on th monkee
there
i am so blind today, i'll probably get another fish, but can i get a clue for the in6/21? i have the not outside one
yes 1
th4/6
only one monkee
there's only one th word
sadness
oh no fran - i didn't just start, i started it at the flip - cause just like feather, i closed my eyes for (ahem) 2 1/2 hours , so i was rather refreshed by midnight, lol
lol, least i'm up to 83 words now, just passed your 72 mark (in reverse though!)
1 th
in+sp4/5
he, monkee, gmta!
lol feather, oooh, maybe i better stay put
thanks pabtrek!!
*hears the horsetrack racing music*
yw, FranMag
LOL
190 without the list, break time, bbl
later peri! good job
I usually go to the list earlier but am doing pretty well today for some reason
did i miss a clue for the second pa6/21? i have the plural of the many voweled word
fran put the s after the 2nd vowel
hi all! back from coffee and picking up the kids...
hello oggy, getting excited about Friday?
hiya stidmama :)
heya stid
hi featherbee! I have 145 to go...
hi stid whats happening on friday
thanks oggy!! didn't realize that was a real word or even how to spell it!
233 here
hey stid!
I thought your son was getting married?
hi Stid:)
hi daisy!
its saturday, im sick of shopping trying to match shoes with my dress
clues for the U words?
alien, there's a ur5/12 that rhymes with what you do to a chalk board
alien up5/14 to spill
fran, what's the other ur?
oh -- okay -- (so I guess you're mrs oggy today!) i have given up having shoes that look right with my clothes for fancy events -- I have a nice pair of comfortable but dressy black pumps that go "well enough" with everything...
don't have it yet helen!
tx anyway fran
the two ur are : ur + three vowels in abc order; ur*** sounds like the "unwrite" word
it is mrs oggy he,s gone to bed.
the other ur 5/12 put vowels in order
I could use any and all of the up 6s!
oggy, a pair of pumps in a taupe that's close to your skin color will match with anything.
yeah stid - a nice pair of black shoes in your closet is like having macaroni & cheese in the cabinet - comes in handy at the last minute often
i have pink/cream dress.
precise-a-mente helen!
tx for the ur stid
my girlfriend was so up*** with me we broke up; but i am looking on the up**** of things.
oooh -- pink and cream! I bet you will look lovely in it. perhaps a pair of cream pumps with gold trim of some sort?
thanks monkeeboi!
up6/24 up+rip
be back in a bit, gotta clean up the kitchen after dinner
you got it
well, oggy, you can clip pink or cream flowerettes to your shoes, otherwise, ah, black doesn't sound like it would work
thanks monkeeboi!
i like stid's idea, gold trim is nice
anyone have the pt6/21
later featherbee *starts to type quickly so as to catch up*
the flesh colored pumps or sandals should still work though, you want your feet to disappear so they don't detract from your outfit
see ya feather
lol, catch up??? you're way ahead of me! i still have 233 left
pt + third vowel + what on a beach - d
k, bbl
if you wear cream everyone will see your shoes first
oh -- I thought you said ONE-33! LOL
thanks monkeeboi
no worries
what ive got will have to do
what you have will be FINE. Everyone is supposed to be looking at the bride anyway! :-) hope you'll put up a pic of you in your finery though...
not sure how to do that but will try
clue for last pe5/12? i have the one that sounds like aches and pa*** and the one that starts like a writing implement
pe 5/12 (last one) william **** + first vowel
pe = fruit + cross letter
i have that one, it's one the 3 that are clumped together
do u need the thats a mans body part
oggy, that's the one!! how could i not see it. fish please
I need one of the first two tr 6/21... I have one that sounds like crepes...
Fran -- it's probably okay that you DIDN'T see it... ;-)
lol stid!!
need that one too stid.
up6/24?
2nd one, please
st 8/50 and st 9/72??
tr+1stvowel+what u cook in
thanks oggy!
trapan
only have the rip one bgl
oops!!! sorry!!!
doesn't that mean drilling a hole through the skull to let out pressure?
thanks oggy and stephie!
stephie- water that doesn't move becomes...
BGL up +what you eye makes when you cry
Thanks, stid!
the other 6/21 is same 1st 4letters + 2nd vowel + s
hey all
brb, have to make something for my son to eat
thanks!
Stid....he's headed this way, but is about 3 hours away still...has to run that Redding call b4 he comes home...

hi Jacula, I haven't seen you in a couple days! how are you?
hiya jacula :)
okay Daisy... I am about to take a break... from this anyway, I want to get to 100 words and then stop.
Hi Stidmama. I've been around but earlier in the day. I'm fine thanks, if a little achey from sitting on the ground all day last Saturday.
later gang...off to give kiddies an education...96 left bbl
Hi Helen.
Sitting on the ground? a picnic?
later monkeeboi!
I have 105 left

Monsters of Rock Festival.
Okay, I have to go to a meeting. BBL to finish my last 79 words...
ok, i have 57 left, am going to work some in the garden, bbl

awesome
later helen
later bgl!
later helen
hi, jacula-- did alice cooper do school's out?
cya helen
Jen - re. the grid. I was going to say that the first 200 words are pretty quickly found. That then leaves you with not to big a grid to ponder over.
jacula, was the music festival good?
Hi libarebel. He did indeed!:D
*too big grid.
ty, Jacula -- that gives me hope :)
anyone have the ta6/18's
Franmag. Mostly good. The acoustics were bad though. Also, they didn't make use of the 2 screens, not even when Alice was playing.
last ne5/10? i have the not messy one
oh, jacula - i'm bogged down at 153!
awww, it must have been great to see the 'monsters' though
hi jilli!
Franmag - Last ne5/10 - sounds like a robbery. Change initial.
I don't have any ta 6/18 yet...
still need those pabtrek
I've seen Alice and Deep Purple before but that was back in the 70s.
hi everyone - i'm at work and sneaking a peek
ne + 3rd vowel + short for saint
ty for the ne, Jacula
. . . and oggy!
thanks jacula and oggy!!
thanks jacula and oggy
the second te 5/10? please...
plural of what you camp in? is that the one?
stid, like a ferrari te***rossa
2nd te5/10 - a narrow band or ribbon, or ribbonlike, or a genus of tapeworm.
pantsed should be a word. Like, "hahahahaha, you just got pantsed! look at your superhero boxer shorts!"
or lamborgini actually
ooo, ty daisy
I have the italian head one...
thanks Jacula *looking*
the only pt word i know is ptooey and it doesn't fit in the grid, clues anyone?
got it!
lol leigh
pt + to be + two letter indefinite article
thanks jen, going to work on it
pt - someone who takes sides minus the 2nd & 3rd letters
i'm funny sometimes
thanks jen and jillibus!!
yw :o)
leigh, i tried that word also! could have sworn it was a real word too!
wo, ty, Jen34 for pt!:-D
Okay, time for class. Pout. Was hoping to get halfway through. Happy babbling, all.
bye leigh
later leigh!
Fran- Exactly! We performed the action all the time in soccer in high school. =) Bye bye everyone.
100 left
ta 6/18 the first and ta 6/21 the last please
tr 8/45 and tr 9/60??
daisy, I am at 119!
bye leigh
ok, got 144, going for the list
182 left
tr 9/60 is the past tense of tr 7/28
the tr 8/45 is a surveying device I think... use the first four letters of the previous word and the first four letters in the ninth month...
tr8/45 - I studied church architecture, so I know this one. It's 1. part of a cruciform church, crossing the nave at right angles. 2. Either of the two lateral arms of such a part.
ta6/21 is ta4/5 + short for thank you
Thanks!!
thanks oggy!
Right. 7 left to find and they're all pa's.
alrighty i'm 90% done and ready for chat clues.
and got one right away, thanks jac! :)
hi hursh!
hi hurshy!
go Jacula go!
Hi Hursh. y/w
the very first ta 6/18?
hi fran, stid, jac, etc etc :)
go jacula!
i have 13 left and they are all over the place!!
person who lies out in the sun? (may not be first, let's see...)
go Fran!
hurshy, it comes off the top t in the second column...
aha then mine is not first i guess
ru6/27 anyone?
ok this must be it: add vowel and the end of the land you get to through a wardrobe
i need that one too stid
ru + entrance to garden
that was it, hurshy! thanks :-)
thanks hursh!
no thank YOU stid, never would have thought of that if you hadn't pointed me in the right direction
thanks for that TA hursh
i depend on you all or i'd hardly ever get through without the list! :)
and now we might as well talk biggies, i only have one 9 and it's st... what else do i need?
sa6/21 anyone?
ooh exciting i will look
there are two tr 9
ty, hursh for ta :)
di9/72
ty :)
ST 6/21 right after scottish for stone?
sa 6/21 - start with a christmas man and end with the start of what you eat for thanksgiving (how festive)
the di 9 was descrived earlier as "one who argues," but I can't wrap my congested brain around it -- any other clues for that one?
add a consonant stid
sorry fran, only one sa so far and it's 4/6
past tense stid?
hurshy, of course...
I can't get that one either--di9!
thanks, hursh!
jen if you are in a fight it's a di7 (not in puzzle), then make it a person, though not with er...
this is great you guys are pointing me to all these words !
jen, an argument is a di****, the one who argues is the di9/72
okay, only to 110, but my eyes are tired. back later all!
do the tr9's start with tr5 that is the start of tr8?
yes
ty -- working on it :)
how about the second ta6/18
bye, stidmama
well pabtrek, perhaps THAT is "person who lies out in the sun?"
later stid!
bye stid
yes hurshy, both tr9s come off of that
ty
that's a ta6/21
no, not what you become when you lie in the sun, but who you ARE when you lie in the sun
i'm having a heck of a time with that di9...saw the clues below
i got the di 9 -- I was stuck on "dissent" instead of the other argument word -- ty for the help
got one of those tr9's...
oh, that may be my problem jen! i've been thinking of the same word, dissent
featherbee, the fight word rhymes with com****r, what you are in front of right now
I'm done!:-))
oooh i see the other!
ah, ty fran, that should help
try a dif argument word with the same three first letters
wtg jacula!!
congrats, jac!
YAY Jacula!
congrats jac!
woot, jac!
congrats jac!
wtg jacula
got the 9, thanks!
st5/12 that's in between the 9/72 and the 5/10 smudge?
still don't see it hurshy, must be tap dancing all around it
Thank you.:) I'm just nipping off to look at a couple of sites Paul's saved for me and then I'll be back to clue for a while.
later jacula!
try the st 5/10 with a different last consonant, Fran
the smudge 5/10, that is
duh, thanks jen!!
i have tr8, st8, and pa8, missing?
yw :)
st8 x 2
st8 theres 2
hmmm intriguing
i'm still looking for that one too hursh
it's after the st6/21 thats a homophone of smudged
theres 1 after st6/21
st 8 man's name + opp. of day
thanks jen!
en

that was supposed to say thanks jen
i've hit 300!
one st 8 is a male deer followed by a man's name, short for hebrew prophet who chewed David out about Bathsheba

sarah, one is what you get when you smudge your shirt
testing
sarah... another is a homonym of fran's clue

ugh we JUST had that one and i swore i'd remember it!
Oh Lord! Crazy Frog's done a World Cup song, too. *Grins* http://gut-wmv.bsky.net/gutrecords/cra zy_we_are_the_champions.wmv
but oh, um, where are my manners, thank you libarebel
ur5/12-- sounds like remove from a blackboard

ty again :)
:-D
the 6/21 is the past tense of that one
got it now, thank you very much Fran!
pabtrek, clue please, i still don't see it!!
yw sarah
guys, I need help with the pe's. I have 3 out of 6. I have the one that rhymes with a vital organ, the plural soil, and the one that sounds like a pasta
OK, ma 6/21 i have a problem with - not once is it mentioned in the plural in the bible.
sorry, the pe 5's
my cats have a world cup song for you jac... "we are the kittens, my friend... and we'll keep on meowing til the end..."
anders, one starts with the fruit and add a T
anders... do you have the one that IS a vital organ (for you anyway)?
LOL, Hurshy. There is a site somewhere that has the animal songs - all done by miaowing or barking etc.
one is a male body part, pe5/12
rhymes with a vital organ? - isnt a vital organ itself????
second son is going to read to me while I rest my eyes... back later.
my thoughts exactly, melon!! LOL!
melonhead i think anders meant the one fran clued first
LOL, Melon.
that's the way folks, keep that info flowing
one pe5/12 looks like a type of pa5/12, italian food, but change last vowel
anders the other 2 you need are pls of 4's
Poor Crazy Frog's had HIS 'vital organ' pixillated!
hurshy, my brain is fried, i'm trying to find your person in the sun and not getting anywhere!!
YEAH! Upgraded to pro - glad to be a part of this!
My phantom word of the day has been twinset.
i'm still missing one U after libarebel's excellent clues... i have 2 ur's and a ut and 4 up's
yay gadget!! welcome to the pros!
fran - it's a crossword puzzle kind of clue... i don't know what it actually means so...
FranMag, the person in the sun, use only one n
3 more up's needed, Hursh.
I was trying to use two and going crazy
welcome, gadget, from nearby
jac - um, it says i only need one more U so...
yeah that's where the question mark at the end of my clue comes in, bc theoretically it should have two n's
Thanks jillibus and FranMag!
Hursh. Sorry! You need one more 'up'
going to keep looking then, thanks pabtrek and hursh
a big thank you from anders to all who clued me!
ok i have a 4 and a 5 and 2 6's, how long of a up do i need?
i think i need the same thing, a u6
Franmag - if it's the 2nd ta6/18 you seek it is the heir apparent to an ancient Celtic chief, elected during the chief's lifetime.
another 6 hursy
bother
Which up6's do you have,Hursh?
my phantom word - tannin/tannins
a 24 and a 27
the other one is a 27 also, hurshy
hi babblers. i have the u's if anyone needs a clue
intriguing
sorry mistyped 24
okay - it's either up + what you did when you posted a letter or pressed the button to despatch an e-mail or...
up + rip or what you get when you weep.
the second one!
thanks jac - both of those are weirdos anyway
jacula, used your def in a reverse look up, finally got it!! thanks for the up also.
It's the ripping/weeping one you need, Hursh.
20 left
y.w FramMag.
is there a up 4 then?
hursh, your clue was great, my brain is just fried i think!!
*FraNMag. Sorry!
Daisy - up4/6
daisy, it's like the opp of downs, just add a vowel before the last letter
ok ty
well i can see how this grid might fry someone's brain...
Daisy - sounds like pills to keep you awake.
on otf the up's is a mixed up version of dispatched to prison.
anyone have the first ti5/10 and 6/18
now that i see daisy, daisy is my phantom word
the evil U's are gone!
oooh thanks pabtrek
yay daisy!
up 4/6????
never mind just got them
pabtrek - 1st ti5/10 is ringworm.
see my clue below melonhead
ti6/18 is more ringworms.
last ta6/21 anyone?
yuck, thanks jacula, yw, hurshy
huh, i should know this, my cats had ringworm a few years ago...
whew, down to 19, all s's
aah, that's why we have ti*actin!
fran, somehow my inner monkey missed that one - tx!
go une!!
*throws bananas to melon's inner monkeys* they're probably hungry!
whoa, poor une, i have 18 but they are not so unifaceted
Layne, are you here?
i feed my monkeys on fritos and milk duds, works very well
Franmag - we've had this word before. One of its meanining is A layer of fibers of the corpus callosum forming the roof of part of the lateral ventricle of the brain.
Franmag - it sounds a bit like a shiny fabric often used in meringue style bridesmaid dresses.
mmm, yummy bridesmaids' dresses
does anyone have the first te5/12
thanks jacula, going to work on that clue later, baby just woke up!
you mean te + double vowel + cons? one of my favorite babblets
1st te5/12 - tropical American lizard. Sounds a bit like it's roped up.
ow, Jacula - that hurt my brain!
ow, Jacula - that hurt my brain!
so bad i hit return twice!
thanks hurshy, jacula
Sorry Melon. LOL.
LOL
what about the 5/10 after it
pabtrek - ribbon, ribbonlike, or a tapeworm.
1st te 5/12 (i think) Spanish appetizer replace 1st vowel with energy.
Oh dear! We do have some nasty creatures on the grid. LOL
hmmm what is this ribbon one
We'll all need worming tablets when the grid's done.
4 more to afway!
Hursh - it's very like the ringworm one, diff. 1st vowel though.
go melon!!
huh, they make all the wormy words alike i guess
Guess so.
1 more - huff....puff...
thanks jacula, melon
go melon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have all the PEs but am skipping the PAs. They are totally ridiculous!!!!
hmmm now i wonder what 2 7's i need...

I am missing 19 PAs. I'll come back to them if I finish all the others before 11:30pm tonight.
yes it goes on and on my friend
tr's are absent student and plural
I have 83 words left to find.
se 5/10 remove i from si6/18 (color)
i don't KNOW if it's the second 6/21 but my second with 4 p's to find is like the place where they have that film festival in france

FIREWORKS!! Thanks!
congrats, saphyre!
yay saphyre!
thanks
ok, i'm ready to tackle the second half of this monster
good luck to you all--whew!!
Why is "mant" not a word? Half man half ant... mant! Seems perfectly logical to me.
yay saphyre!
yay uneaixoise!
lol amy, i have the same rationale for soooo many words i think should be in there
I'm still POed that "Santa" isn't a word. Don't get me started . . .
pe 5/12? i have male part, and rhymes with ache...thanks!
And anyone who doesn't recognize the word "depants" is obviously one of those wimps who went to a private school and ought to have the procedure performed immediately
In public
And a flagpole ought to be involved
or pantsed, right?
I'll bring the camera!
Samantha: I have a list of people i'd like that done to... What are you doing later? :-)
Still messing with this bloody grid, if I don't start paying attention . . . I'm barely halfway
abe79 - there are 6 pe5/12's
hmmm try as i might i can only find one pa 6/21 that comes before the one i mentioned...
oh , sorry, i meant the one that is in that section with male part (there are three together)
hurshy, i have all of the pa's, woud you like a clue if its not a fish?
oh yes i am so taking clues, i have only 17 to go
abe - pe5/12 - a bird's contour feather. (That is a hard feather as opposed to a downy one.) Sounds like a short flag or piece of bunting.
one of the pa6/21s is an italian word for buddy?
is there an icon theme today?
anders wanted 2nd pa 6/21 and i have songs of praise and the one that's like the film festival city
do you have the pa 6 /21 that comes before the italian buddy?
i don't know what the italian buddy is now i have to click the ?s
feather it's lenny bruce, but i have wedding rings because today is my anniversary!
hurshy, do you hae the one that comes before the 'copyright'?
aw, happy anniversary! how long?
Happy Anniversary FranMag. Which one is it?
Happy Anniversary. FranMag., how many years?
4 years now
happy anniversary fran!
yes abe, i do
happy anniversary Fran:)
i have 5 pa 6/21's i think
thanks everybody!!
do you have the one after the metalic paint stuff (before a 7)
i don't have cake like stid did for her birthday, but i can pass out coke and fanta!
yes abe
i don't know if i have this italian buddy though
ok, i count 8 pa 6/21. i'll clue you the italian
i better learn it before i go to italy next week
i don't know the italian buddy, either.
it's like the songs , just anagram the last few letters
hursh, i think you'd know if you have it, it ends like a fine craftman, arti*** and there is a vowel before that
oh i thought that was spelled with i not e
hurshy, it usually is
franmag, thanx that it for the p's!
6/21: songs, italian buddies, soundslike film festival, sounds like singer from faith no more, copyright, metallic paint, change a vowel, sounds like faith no more singer, diff. vowel
did i miss a clue earlier for the te5/12 that's in between the 5/10s?
yw anders!
ok i think i have al the pa 6/21 i think i counted wrong before
abe, are those all pa words?
200 words without the list, a record for me.
yes featherbee, all pa 6/21,
awesome peri!
The Ns are greyed out.
Well done, Peri. The more you play, the easier it gets.
sa6/21 anyone?
abe79 - faith no more?
ooh minski, any weirdos? i need one from the 4th row
I know I am getting better when I see odd words that I remember from other puzzles
Franmag - sa6/21 - a Persian dulcimer.
hurshy, do you have the ne that sounds like a robbery?
aha forgot that one, thanks fran!
Just finished, first time
ok how about this androgenous character from satruday night live pa*+ not off+ plural. there is another pa 6/21 like it, just change a vowel
mmmm charcoal infused salmon
clarification, first time finishing, not first time playing
jacula, it's not taking either of the words i found!
not off? that'd be on and there's no o...
but also, i have all the pa 6/21, abe, are you cluing someone else, i've lost track in the melee
congrats jworkin!
hehe, the most chaotic place in the world is the Malay Peninsula
sorry hurshy, the clue was for peri. i meant not out (peri, give a yell if you would like that clue again
Franmag - oh dear! Hang on and I'll see if I can anagram it for you...
found it jacula! it's one of those alternate spellings
Anagram of 'saturn'.
Ah, you got it!
ok, there are so many stinkin AN possibilities, that i'm not seeing two of the 4/4s. i have one that is shortened form of licorice, one is a name, one is like st. nicholas without the S, one is the picnic bugs...what am i missing? and i'll take the fish now and get it over with, thanks!
yes! thank you jac!
once work gets out that a pirate has gone soft, then people begin to disobey you and then it's nothing but words words words all the time (or something like that)
lmao hursh! that's it exactly
feather - not the question but the _____, in boston
well, except for one letter...
feather, the first one is like the plural of an would be spelled
i know feather i switched it on purpose because we have nothing but words...
Featherbee - the other an sounds like a solution to a question.
thanks guys! got em
Too late again! Oh woe is me! LOL.
boston comes in handy a lot when i'm cluing
what's funny is i didn't realize you switched it until i looked twice
last tr5/12? i have the snares
it's cause i used jedi mind tricks on you
hehe
old fashioned or british way to do the past tense of that fran
Franmag - sounds like the past tense of the snare word but has a single letter ending instead of an 'ed'.
jacs is going to kill me soon :)
thanks jac, i swear i tried that!!
Oy! Whaddaya mean, 'old-fashioned or British'??
hmm, thought of another quote that can apply here too: "Look, I don't mean to be rude, but this is not as easy as it looks. So I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't distract me."
well escuuuuuuuuuse me feather
jac, for the record i love both old-fashioned things and british things
he he, hrrsh-- got it--I'm in Boston :D
Hurshy - did you figure out which N you are missing?

se 5/10 dbl const. & vowel
LOL jac
hi babblers, 326 words!! wow
hi Annie! just starting?
stid, you puzzle me.
hi anniebrook
Hursh - re the word credited twice, I meant the cluster bean, from which comes gu** gum.
there are indeed 2 sn5/12's between the 4/5's
Yes, couldnt get to the grid before this....isnt that a great excuse not to finish it.
and i have 7 sn's and only need one so i don't see how you can miss 2
puzz puzz
okay, then I need another sn 5/12 I have the sort of nasty remark...

s + Scottish swede (turnip)?
Hursh - what time is it where you are?

P.S. JaiKnut is Jainniah + Knutmeg working together on our puzzles....We decided to do this cause she is so busy and we sometimes can't finish- so hello- this is Jaianniah talking now
lol, hi to you both then :)
okay, I have seven. they don't line up with Lickety's but there they are.
Hursh - you should do the grid in snippets throughout the day. It's amazing what a break from it can do... you see words again where before there were 'none'.
TY- Now if Stidmama would just accept our new personae!!!
i did take one long break to go to the doc and run errands, jac
but jac, can you tell me if there are 3 S6 or 4? :)
And did it help, Hursh?
I'll wait and see... JaiKnut.
i think it did jac... i'll take another break in a minute to do sudoku

then my S is only a 4, lovely
ga 6/24 please?
that's the birdie
ga 6/24 seabird
Feather - a seabird - a greedy one!

thank you! i've not heard of that before
Stid - what sort of fish would you prefer? *Rummages in freezer.*
ag 6 + 7 -- means kin but ... ag + nicck name for Mr. N. Hale
for trhe 7 add an s
Jacula, while you are rummaging in the fridge, would you please get me some chocolate mocha icecream?
lol, ok 3 4's and 3 6's left, quick sudoku break is in order...although at this point i'm probably beyond help
Sob, sub-sub-sob- Stiddie doesn't love us anymore....
Annie - Haven't got that at the mo. Can to tiramasu flavoured, though.
Hi, AKnitter!:)
evening jac, how are things on your side of the pond?
*slurping tiramisu ice cream* thank you so much
guars
Don't play Soddinguko. LOL. Not a numbers person.
looks like i'm back just in time for ice cream!!
omg, im so sorry
aknitter, thanks for the ag clue, but who on earth is n. hale?
Annie - at this stage of the game, I shouldn't worry about it.
Hi Fran, Jacula didnt have chocolate mocha so i am forced to have tiramisu. *slurp, slurp*
The only N. Hale I can think of has one of Satan's names.
wow, i'm in desperate need of help with the INs. i only have the two 4/4s and the 5/10.
oops sorry anders i didn't even look at your flag. nathan hale a famous U.S patriot -- give me liberty or give me death guy
thank jacula
Gosh, Annie, so sorry for forcing such awful icecream on you!ROFLOLPMP.
feather, in7/32 is in+the planet we're on
I finished, can I have more? *wipes lips with back of hand and holding out dish*
s
ignore that
Annie - if you want a quick chocolate fix and you don't mind raw egg whites, choc mousse is dead easy to make.
in7/32 - in+correct an article+first vowel
oh, sorry, I'm not up on my American heros. I'm not up on my Canadian heros, either, come to think of it, given our ultra boring history lol
oh, i'd never have seen that one!
in5/12, not very good at something
hello!
you want more feather?
hey nrk!!
yep, i'll take whatever you got
Thanks Jacula, will eat anything with chocolate. I think chocolate is a great anti depressant and a good anti anything
in6/21, not outside
hi nrkii
because i seem to be in*** at finding these on my own!
Hi nrkii.
Annie - There's a recipe for choc spread in my Recipes thread on BabAnon.
groan, fish please on that one
Good evening, all
Jac, I will look for it. thank you.
okay, I googled nathan hale and asked for the nickname. nothing, can you help?
Anders, the point is the nickname of "Nathan"
Goodness me! Any more fish and my freezer will be empty. But... none of you are having the trout! LOL.
short for nathan
hi Kenny Chuck!
*Glad I've got a big pack of fish fingers in there.*
hello. ra6/24? O
Hi Kenny & Harp.
I'm starting this VERY late in the day, 247 to go. I plan to be very obnoxious about asking for help!
ra6/24, Harp. Past tense of ra4/5, the rought file.
oh, where are my manners? hi, jac!
*rough
Hi Stid and Jacula. Busy grid today.
ranned
sorry
okay harp, I have 88 to go but will clue as I can...
Nathan Hale said "I regret that I have but one lifeto give for my country"-- I think Patrick Henry said "give me liberty or give me death"
stid, I have 90 to go!
race me?
S'okay, Surf. It's not a word. Near to one, though.
go nrkii go!
can anyone expand the clue for ag 6/24 and 7/36?
Hi everyone. Lying in bed for my evening babble session, listening to the pouring rain. At this time of night, all tucked in, I actually love the sound of the rain.
Harp - ask and I will help. I finished the grid hours ago.
ooo, 78 here!
Hi Eva and Merp.
feather, in6/21, in+part of a bridge or what it does
oh, eva, that'd put me right to sleep!
I don't have th ag7/36. I have a 6/24 which is the plural of a kind of gem stone
Anders, think of industrial leaders, like a steel mag****, but without the leading 'm'. Singular and plural
Hello, evening babblers. Does anyone have a clue for the pu 4/6 -- not the one that means to place something? Thanks!
I hope it will featherbee!
done with the Ss...
fran, you're a lifesaver here
Eva - I'm not singing that old song 'Listen to the pouring rain, listen to it pour, and with every drop that falls I love you more...' Can't remember who did it. Back in 60s, I think.
go stid!!
Being a Canadian, even I know that N. Hale was a captain in the American Revolution. Some considered him to be a spy.
I'm enjoying the sound of rain in MA, too, Eva :)
think golf, layne
Hello. the very last ra 4/4?
how many more do you need featherbee?
Meant *now not *not! LOL
eva, if you have the st 8 tha means to slow down severely, or become stuck, take the first two letters off that for your other ag 6/24
pwinn, many thanks! those blasted ags drove me crazy!
Godthaab, I think I was taught that he was a spy, in fact. But a hero, since we won.
Help! This is probably a fish word, but... I need the de4/5 between "one who believes in god(s)" and what you get in your car. Please.
Harp - rodents.
surfmark, thanks. got it, and need a fish. Prefer flounder.
don't remember that one Jac.
thanks nrkii-got it
gotta go rescue dinner. brb
I need the last sn 4/5 and the last sn 5/12, Please
bgl, what foxes live in
*Hands stidmama a fire extinguisher.* LOL
brb all, have to deal with poop
fran, i just need the last two
Told you it was a fish word! I thought I had that one already! :)
Franmag - thanks for the information.:/
sn4/5 - what you ride upon down a snow covered hill. Change the l to an n
frans baby updates - LOL
sn5/12 is a sn*** comment
Jai - last sn5/12 - nasty comment, sneaky.
very funny-thought that Fran's poop update was a clue re Jai's request for a clue and I sijmply couldn't figure out what the connection was.
Does anyone have the GA6/24? It's the 1st GA6 and the 6th GA word. Thanks.
Ty, had the 5/12, must be the other one- but didn't have the sleigh word, thanks
the last ra4/4?
LOLOL
Minski, like the red stone, but with a double-consonant in middle, instead of two different ones.
Franmag - if that's new baby poop, I do hope you don't wear glasses. I remember my son, after he'd done a particularly sticky and nasty nappy, grabbing my specs and putting them in the yuck. I was blind and stunned.
Minski, the GA 6/24 is the name of a chain of newspapers in the US.
ga6/24-the one I have is a kind of bird....llike a red gemstone with an extra n instead of an r. Is that the one you mean?
how is the ma 4/5 not a pronoun?
phone brb
did someone say back in the 60's??? i think he did a little too much LDS...
i mean proper noun
Thanks guys. That was the word I needed. Now the Gs are greyed out.
how many TE words?
Hursh - it was me back in the 60s.
sn5/12, not the comment one
pronouns get paid more
first an 5/10 please?
lol hursh
13 'te' words
aha!, and are any of them 6's jac?
jacula-- sounds like foreign policy--blind & stunned
ooh, got it
how many ti words
LOL, libarebel.
jai-anagram for professor snape
Alien - why don't you just check out Lickety's list?
sn5/12 - sn+hell **** no fury like a woman scorned - the first h
13 'ti' words, also
okay, poop has been dealt with!
Hey BGL -- how are you doing? I'm about ready to bag it. Too many frustrations without the grid tonight
sn5/12 sn+****in' helpin' of hsopitality-h
there are 3 sn5/12's
Thanks, Eva!!!
fran, how old is the baby?
Musicmom, 51 left
yay, fran is poopless (I'd like that to be a babble word)
jac darling, are any of those 13 te's 6 letters long?
MusicMom. Hi! Are you okay??
Ugh I still have 62
what else is happening? It isn't my nieces is it?
my daughter just turned 1 and my son is 3, the poop was the boy's!
Yeah Jac -- just little things --- the 30 minute quiche took over an hour to make and bake
wait wait nevermind i have all the te's
I've been using morewords.com a lot! ;)
~~~~~~fireworks~~~~~~~~~~~
We filled the pool today only to find out there is hole in the bottom and now we have to drain it out and start over
my son's nearly 2, right in between yours!
Urrgh! Franmag.
yay, alien!
if anybody gives out any clues for T6's or P6's, someone come grab me at sudoku :)
feather, did you get all those ins?
OOOOH! YUCK! MM
sp 5/16 and 7/36, anyone?
Sarah's open gym ran over time and so I had to sit around the gym waiting on her.
Music Mom - I must post my quiche recipe on BabAnon for you.
Hurshy~ what t 6 do you need?
oh, no, still need the last two. i somehow always have a brain block with the vowel words
Just not sure I can focus in for the last 62.
what do you need hursh?
Okay, will do, Hursh.
Just hang out for awhile with us, musicmom!
That would be wonderful Jac. This one sounded good and easy but it just wasn't easy. it was very tasty but by the time it was done we were TOO starving to enjoy.
brb
feather, didn't know you had a toddler! the in7/28 is immediate, as in in7/28 pudding
i don't know what i need, that is the peril of listlessness. but with 6 to go i can't bail now.
hurshy-do you have the p6/21 that is like the color that gathers on aged metal, but with an s at the end instead of an a? Then there is also the color itself, with the a, and another exactly the same but endingt with an e. Then there is the pa6/21 that is a kind of leather or what you get to protect and invention.
MusicMom - do you prefer to make your own pastry or to use frozen shortcrust?
sp 5/16 is s + p4/7 meaning a sharp pain
last in is in6/18, in + **** light, **** bright
then there's also the pt6/21
back from phone. Hi again all. Must focus focus focus.
eva - what you get for an original idea
sadly, yes, i have all those eva - wait a second why didn't anyone mentiona pt6 before??!?!
sp7/36 stretched across, like a bridge over a river
yay, I box grayed out! thanks so much fran!
Shortcurst is quick, easy and cheaper than using frozen. Flakey pastries are a little more time consuming. Mind you, the handmade are nicer than the bought sort.
it's not ptooey hurshy, tried that one though!
yw featherbee!
the pt6/21 is an odd one. There was a definition way back when, but I think it is somehow related to the french word tissane-some sort of herbal infusion
69 left *plods on*
why thank you eva, that is lovely
pt6 has to do with fruit teas, same kind of word, but is about a cold drink.
just 5 to go now :)
is there also a pt 4 or is that our only pt
only one pt
go feather!!
phew
don't know. Haven't looked at any of the lists. Haven't wanted to work that hard lately.
any other weird like ps or pn
no hursh
sorry phone rang.
thanks
Any UP clues? I have the 4, but that's all. PATY.
don't up5 me or i'll hit you up6/27 the head
Jac I do not make pastry --- always use the frozen
di7/36?
You're gonna be really up*** with yourself when you find the up5!
also up6/24, up+rip
clue for ap 6 please?
ap + quiz
ap + exam nrk
tx!
also, up+what you did with the mail
ahhhhh the beauty of playing this time of night is all the clues being bandied about
Mmmmmm...fish
I don't have that one BGL
BGL - di7/36 - to divide. di + a section of (one of the pa4 words).
how many T6's? i have 7... there could be 7, 8, or 9
thanks jac
ooh now i have 8 so are there 8 or 9
Hursh - get a bloody list, will ya! LOL.
there are nine hursh
with 4 to go?!?!
ok so that is my last 6, a T
*pales at the number of PAs*
hurshy - you are crazy, woman!
5 TAs
Man, I have 132 to go. Feeble.
you can ignore me if i'm irking you jac
1 Ti
3 TRs
what is the very first pa5/12?
Any help on the AG6 and AG7? I have the plural of the AG5. PATY.
Hursh - I've read what you've said on BabAnon. You're not irking me, I'm kidding you.
tr then
K-C--think of it as a 2-day grid and youo're almost done with today's!
Hursh - I can understand you being sensitive at the mo.
Newbie here...how do you know there are 8 T6s, or that you're on your last Pa (for example)...?
Mom, you're right! I'm a success!
ok jac... i don't play the way i used to anyway, i try to ask specific questions rather than having people guess
ag6 - ag+short Nathanial
so i hope that irks people less...
musicmom, it's a strange one, means song i think, pa+second vowel+indefinite article
hurshy - you just crack me up - it's entertainment
Hursh - it never irked me anyway, though it did some.
i have tr6 that is a pl without a singular and the person who ditches school...
Perfect, BGL...thanks.
ty jac, and SMF
things are getting very wonky with my connection again. When someone asked for a clue for the di7/36 I scrolled to where it should have been on my list and discovered that all of my d's and 'es had disappeared. had several goes at refreshing before it all came back.
What DOES irk me is when we get a pile of kids in here bandying grid words about in the chatlog, or worse, those who just steam in a demand, 'GIVE ME WORDS!'. V. irritating!
I KNOW I have typed that a million times today.<G>
i agree jac :)
I agree jac. I hate the demanding clues thing
oh jac, you don't find them a bit... endearing?
jakawie, we use either the tile and word stats or lickety's list, you can find a link below
No.
so... who wants to clue me up on that third TR6 - as i said, i have a pl with no singular, and the person who ditches school.
guiltyof all the above today! hi everybody!
I agree too, jac. I may not chat but I lurk and do my own work for quite awhile before asking - POLITELY - for assistance.
I agree too, jac. I may not chat but I lurk and do my own work for quite awhile before asking - POLITELY - for assistance.
hi TO!
Hi TO
hi temple!
hurshy sounds like a brand of household appliances
sometimes the kids aren't demanding clues, they want you to just GIVE them words...
me 2 KC
or below, to be precise!
127 to go
hursh, snare+indefinite article
Mind you, Hursh, a few days ago there were a number of Aussie schoolkids in here... one of the girls was talking about a guy she wanted to chat up. As she slowly realised the site is very public, she told her female friend, 'I just need to delete all of these messages now'. 'You've NO CHANCE! girl,' thought I. LOL.
Hurshy, is it the one that rhymes with the purple fruit?
or ---- I need a raccoon so I'm going tr6
*G* Thanks Hurshy. May I call you Hursh?
72!!!
thanks fran!!!
sure thing hursh!
well-81 left so I probably won't finish...again. i've been finishing less lately, partially because of the site problems and partilaly because I just don't feel like making it work...so my scores are worse, but I' m enjoying it more and torturing my poor body less.
go nut!
jac - OH dear jee - trum? jakawie - sure
fran fran!
65 to go!
I'm missing 17 words and they are all PAs.
Hursh - by that last post, I can tell you've had enough.
go nrk!!
sooooo nice to see you all...
(and I agree with you all about the trolls)
i shouldn't need to bug y'all any more now, just 3 little ol' 4's to go, time to put the monkeys to work
had enough of what? i just had too much to respond to at once :)
go hurshy!!!
Hursh - the worst clue you can ask for is a 4! Do you have any idea of what the 1st letter is??
go monkeys!!
72 - you're early, the pie is still cooling
i just said i am NOT asking for clues, i will monkey
pa 6/21, the second I think?
I meant, Hursh, that you're tired of looking for words in the grid.
Hmm, I think I would like to say how much I appreciate the way you have all given me so many clues since I have gotten addicted to this
oh no, i am never really tired of looking for words
you've got pie?
it is my last P word.
the a's have really got me addled, aggravated,anxious, angst ridden and addlepated. Any clues?
Hursh - please don't get defensive and think that I'm getting at you because, really, I am not.
oh yes fran, banana cream
Hi stid!
stid, italian for buddy
me too Eva.
i loooove banana cream pie, please pass some over!
thanks. Italian works (nearly) every time! LOL
ur 5/12, i have the enzyme ...
oh fran, i can't, i have to decorate 72 with it!!! :-(
ga6/27, please?
oh jac, don't be silly, i'm not getting defensive - i think you're just misreading my tone, so easy to do online. really it is incredibly hard to offend me!
down to 64.
Franmag - recipe for that on my thread in BabAnon.
anders, try ur + three vowels in abc order
awww, make an extra one next time! ;-)
kay franners
thanks Jacula! i guess i need to buy some pie pans
Hursh - if you have MSN messenger, then mail me though BabAnon mail and we'll hook up. It also accepts hotmail addresses and many others.
Okay I don't get the italian clue.
musicmom-just found an a tree-also a town in Colorado. You probably already have itg
i don't have MSN messenger jac, though, our firewall blocks it
MusicMom - is that the pa word again?
eva, first ag5/16 is to have your mouth open
hurshy is a real gem she rolls with punches and up again hurshy can take anything except a grid that cannot sing...
IThose were both clues for the same word
stid, thanks!
jacs: heard a recipe for smore cupcakes - i am interested in the cake part itself, a flourless recipe...
yes jac
i'm at 64, took a break to check out babanon
oh - and if anyone would like to clue the u's - i'm good with that!
2...
ag4/6 is derived from seaweed, looks like leaving a door open, but change J to G
hi stid, featherbee!!

OH my gosh!!!!! I got it finally!!! Thanks Jac

oooh maybe i can get one of my cats to send a message

or Fran and musicmom -- a many-godded person!
anders, ta16?

Cat's CAN type! (Afer a fashion.)
Hursh - shame about that.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
got the second
can't, it won't look at me...it's a jerk cat
oi
cool feather!
ha ha meant ta 6/18's
Mail me through BabAnon anyway. We can hook up somehow, even through e-mail.
hey my cat can type and express his frustration, lookee at that!
he said "oi" like "oi, why is mom putting my on the keyboard tray?"
Need to keep an eye on the clock now. Have to get my o'h u[p for work at 3am. It's now 2:42.
dina
there should never EVER be 54 p words
all mine does is stick its butt in my face.
especially off just one p
good evening folks...155 to go...argh! (my cats "type" all the time, install programs, freeze the computer etc.)
starting to see why you hate your life...
LOL life! very cat-like behavior...
anders, one is really wierd, ta+second vowel+ending 3 letters of nar*** (wardrobe place) that was hurshy's clue
jac...you're a wild woman!
should really take dinna with all the other scottish words... and naes
Okay-clearly I'm getting to tired and cranky to be allowed near the chat log. Another few minutes and then sleep.
What can possibly fit in between ne 4/4 and the ne 5/10 that is its plural?
well, as far as cat butts go, i guess its not bad...
not that it matters
woohoo, 1 to go
stid...add a 2 point tile
second ta6/18 is ta+ending or piano player pia****
st5/14? I have the one that sounds like 'not smart"
under, stid
go hursh!!
Eva - that's probably a very wise decision. I have stayed here too long on occasions and got v. cranky.
(asking nicely, I hope you know!)
change end vowel there harp
pa 7/36, down near the bottom?
oh -- a babblet (of course) thanks hurshy and kristin!
pang
harp, just change last vowel
FIREWORKS at last and that is so not a babblet it's just poetic
crap...sorry
yep...glad I actually had that one!
thanks!
feather, past tense of prev 6/21
Harp - st5/14 - A dome-shaped monument, used to house Buddhist relics or to commemorate significant facts of Buddhism or Jainism
good night everyone and thanks for all the help. See you in the morning if the site holds up.
yay hursh! *off to tame the g '*

*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR HURSHY*~*~*~*~
*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR HURSHY*~*~*~*~
yay hurshy!!!
yes and i found 90% on my own, 10% with help from you lovely folks, no list - it took all morning and evening, i took the afternoon off :)
and FranMag
hate my wife - you sound very bitter.
what's the list?
I need an 8 or 9 letter word so that I do not feel so inadequate
Congrats, Hurshy!
yw bryanc!
what wife? i'm too young for a wife
i'll be so glad to be out of these Ps
you see i found half the words in like an hour, but unlike sprite i cannot maintain a steady pace so it takes me forever at the end
hurshy, doing this grid w/o a list is quite the feat!
115 to go
manicmama, the people a doctor treats = 8
go Kenny! great progress so far!
thanks so much
ooh...belated congrats to hurshy!
The list, hate my wife, at the moment is just lickety's list (see the friends of Babble links). BrandyJack aslo does a list on Babblers' Anonymous, but he's away at the moment and so the list isn't there.
ok now stop talkin' about me and go back to asking for clues :)
oh, okay. i went in there once. i didn't make the connection.
stidmama, you lost your femininity
hurshy - I need the last pa 6/21 please
manicmama, st 8/50: to sit and do nothing, getting stale.
manicmama, st9/72 is what happened to the water that sat still for too long
ga4/6 before the ga6 bird
I am having immense difficulty with plain ol' 4's today. I can't see them and can't monkey them.
SMF that's a pl of a 5/12 that you have to go a little ways back on the list for :)
Some people like to get the list right off, others, like me, prefer not to use it until they are at least just over 3/4's way through grid, and not even then sometimes. Ohters, try not to use it at all. As the Status Quo song goes... 'Whatever you want.....'
I ***HATE*** IN words. I just got to them and have only three after ten minutes.
temple - the ga's start with 3 scottish 4's
oops i must be missing a 5/12 too. back into the grid
TO, one sounds like a ga4 word that means to catch up
SMF if you have the pa6 that means the finish on something just cut off the vowel
and then i like to cross my eyes over the grid, and uncross them, and see what words pop up like that.
in + our planet
the other ga4/6 just changes the last consonant
anyone care to share the other 8/9s that were not just mentioned (I just so happened to have those and not the others)
in + what you do to copy before it goes to press + vowel
got them! TY! now 5/16..the second one
ok, where that group of three pe 5/12s is in a row....i have the male part, and the one that's a plural, what am i missing please?
I got both those pa words now thanks
country singer brooks, TO
feather, root word is feather!!
feather - like a kind of pa5 (italian noodle), but change last vowel
suppose i could try the list
yes hurshy! I found out how to change it off pepto-bismol pink and back to what looks like violet (though I am told its gray) on my monitor.
in5 - not good at, not capable
feather, think of a pe word that means feather-shaped and take the TE off
in4/4 a babblet, add 2 vowels
got it, and Ps are DONE!!!
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! I hate when I forget plurals!
hurshy, 'kennychuck' does not start with IN. aawwwwwwww
Hursh - I'ver lost track of what you need now. Can you recap, please?
stid i hope you're paying attention cause i'm cluing you all the IN's :)
I got 165 words, I think that's all I'm gonna attempt tonight. Very sad, I am.
54 to go
go feather!!
jac i finished :)
go nrk!!!
awww, pwinn...don't be sad!
in4 - places to stay
Thought you did, Hursh. Thought I was going bonkers for a min.
in5 - add... a trio is a *** of three
that's more than half pwinn!! good job
in6 - not outdoors
107 to go
in6 - add sp4/5
yes hurshy, but don't know what the second 7 was, not familiar with any other word for proofread?
in7 immediate
go kenny chuck
how 'bout one of the ne 5/10's? i've got the plurally tidy one
TR 8/45, the part of a church that crosses the nave.
*Inserts earplugs in case BGL yells like that again.* LOL.
in + twinkle twinkle little...
I do believe I have all the pa words done
stid, what the head guy at a newspaper does
bryan used a wooord
stidmama it's an E word
instant
tr 9/60, a person who doesn't live in your town, but is just passing through.
So he did!
thanks layne...thinking on the 8 still though
So did hate my wife, who is too young, apparently, to have had a wife.
hml said a word!!
ne 5/10 rhymes with an h word for a holdup, a caper
what?
ah, that's a coincidence- doh! sorry
yes but in hate my life's case it was clearly just a cursor problem
aw cripes!
jacula, that's because his name is hate my life, not wife
its the eye crossing
in which case we ought to be building a sentence but i'm too tired to initiate it
;-)
thx hursh
OOPS! Must make that optician's appointment. Sorry hate my life.
TR8 = tr 5/10 = in*** (not capable)\
you're supposed to cross your T's and DOT your I's, not the other way around, hate my life...
LOL, Hursh.
i'll remember to click
if his name was the other he wouldn't find much sympathy in this chat!!
really - - just don't lynch me
Probably some Freudian thing in it for me. LOL.
grr, spent several minutes monkey typing for a 4/4 turns out i need a 4/5
lol feather, I do that ALL THE TIME
lol feather, i've done that!!
Sorry 'hate'. Truly!
neist
thanks. got those pesky in's... hurshy, you're my hero.
hehehehe
least i'm not alone in it!
thanks layne...all over that one :)
OH FOR THE LOVE OF...
yes, fran saved me with the INs earlier
Yes, 'hate', that's the word!
i'll quit i swear
it's very hard for me to talk to you, hate my life, because my whole childhood i heard my mom saying "we don't say hate"
if you can't quit, can you at least do words i need? :)
hate, it's a lynch free zone, i think
Oh, I can't keep calling you 'hate'! Have you a better suggestion for a name for you?
help on the an5's (I have the alt. spelling of the spice and that's it) *pretty please?
call me hml
how about hml?
hml it is!
or html, if you want to be modern
and i just picked that name on a bad day, i'm actually a happy sort of guy
you know - i was thinkg we could just call you hml...
got the plural of the women's name now too!
hml, I'm so relieved to hear it!
one AN 4 is a girl's name, also a palindrome
an5/10, a+not far
okay, how about the GU words except for intestines?
i am issing a gu4 - have the gum and the entrails
in that case maybe we should go with hhml
then there's an AN 5 that's plural
That'll do (thanks hml anmd featherbee). I AM concerned however about the name.... Life is precious. Life can be precarious and very unfair. It's still the only thing we've got, though.
tx layne - i was in a bad mood cause my friend was shoplifting (i didn't know) and i got arrested!
TO - beginning of spanish word for poop
nvm, just monkeyed them....
stid, there's a 4 that is sticky stuff
change the last consonant of the gum and make a plural
there's a song in there somewhere jac
thanks! looks like I need the last an5?
three stinking p words and I can't figure out what I'm missing
Hursh - being a poet , writer and lyricist, if there's a song in there, I'l find it. LOL.
down to 44
latin plural, kristinc?

Hi, TO. Saw you before but didn't get chance to say 'Hi'.
go kristin!!
thanks temple - i had to spend the night in jail cause they couldn't find my parents, it sucked.
go bryan!!
hml--maybe now you should change your alias to lpg (life's pretty good)!
It's amazing -- I have 267 words but I've only greyed out 3 boxes.
pe words --- between the plural sod and the man body part is there anything?
brb, baby wants a bottle, plus it's humid today and she's just being generally cranky!!
yes, mm there are 2 a 4/5 and its plural
second pa 6 please?
Layne, that may be a record! LOL
HML - where were your parents? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Oh, and please don't give any real names, addresses etc here on the net.
okay that's 2 of the three
dunno mom, i kindof like hml, it has nice flow
and i have seen the judge INSIST that the inncoent person admit they committed the act...your friend put you in a bad situation.
go kristin go!
i'm 17 - they were at some university function
did I miss your count nrkii? you go, girl!
the cop had a real attitude, but my dad was friends with the judge.
ack! pa 6 (second one) help please?
evening everyone!
Ah! hml. I get it now. So, the mobile phones had to be turned off.
hi firefly!
firefly779, welcome to the funny farm!
you're gonna win this one stid, still 82 to go :)
black tie affair - fundraising for something
hi, firefly
hi firefly!
ga 6/30 please?
hi Fran, Annie, et al
that's only good if you learn something, dear hml...and now i will stopcounseling and start gridding. stay and play with us a while if you like word games - have some fun!
but when you're old, hml, you'll have a cool story to tell :)
Once upon a time, your parents would have left you with a phone no for the place they were going to. Mobile phones HAVE made the world better in some ways (i.e drowning in the middle of an ocean and able to call coastguards etc.) but in many other ways...
hi firefly!
yeah - screwed things up for my enlistment though
stid, past tense of ga 4/7 (sharp intake of breath)
in the military?
hurshy.....not cool. not cool at all.
enlisting,
I got that ga 6/30, could I have the 5/16 just before it instead please?
hi kristinc, glad to see you here (that means at least you're not elsewhere... ;)
it's cool to spend the night in jail if you're innocent, i think... but, i respect your dissent, TO :)
not necessarly hml. take it one step at a time.
true true firefly
stid, singer GA*** brooks
C'mon, c'mon--I need some clued for words I don't have yet!! HELP!
Those who want to concentrate on finishing the grid, do so. I'll talk to hml.
*zips it*
stid, help with second pa 6 please?
recruiter thinks it should be okay, just slow m e down a bit
thanks nrkii!
ap 6/21?
alright, moms home so i'm gonna split
Temple - I wasn't telling you to shut up!
UGHHHHHH I hate when I miss plurals. Small battle won - the p is grey
sp 5/12 that's in with the group of 3 of them? i have the flood, and the one that is the bridge with an extra vowel
what branch?
well that is certainly unfortunate... oh see you later hml
thanks for the company
howdy darlin's
marines temple
hml - ok.
hml - ok.
second pa 6 is anagram of first, think of how mafiosi calls their companions... their "friends"
jacs: I am telling me to shut up!
hi keirlex!
that's a BIG battle, SMF, my very last word was a P
one of the next-to-last ma 5/12's, please? not the priest's home
Last three words, please help me... pu4/6 (I have the place something somewhere); di9/71 and ga6/27....please, I'm begging!
stid, thanks!
hi kierlex!
sa6? Please?
bryan it's like a praying insect but change the end
Sorry folks! I'm a bit ultra-sensitive to teenaged kids needing help. A throwback to the 3 years my daughter spent in a nuthouse.
hey kristinc
not over yet- we unfortunately sent many of our clients to the services to straighten up, so to speak...
BGL - your pu ---think golf
ga 6 /27 ends with 3 vowels -- french ending
i have a whopping 164 left!!!!
pu4/6 - little golf shot
hml -- do well in the rest of your time until you plan to enter the military. You can get over/through this. you are obviously intelligent -- learn from your mistakes and move on.
Good luck, hml. Give it your best. That's all anyone can ask.
di9 one person of a domestic di7
but marines are pickier
the di7 is not in the grid
That is the shortcoming of my golf game... :) but I'll take a fish!
ty hurshy
lol bgl
from the halls of montezuma to the shores of tripoli...
Okay thanks for those two...one left!
i'm going to repost this, think it got lost in the flow of the chat! "sp 5/12 that's in with the group of 3 of them? i have the flood, and the one that is the bridge with an extra vowel"
Check out other branches, hml. Uniforms may not be as sharp, but opportunities abound if you have an aptitude for various areas.
whew! log is fast tonight :)
what is the last one BGL?
we love anything marine... we're always talking fish
feather, went to a relaxing place for a mineral bath perhaps?
kierlex...121 here for me so don't worry!
sa6 please?
Stidmama - are you with me in thinking that the military is the worst place a lad with sensitive probs can go?
i have the in world 7/32 and need the other please...and the 4/4 after the dolphin
sa6 - whats on a beach - the d+Gilligan's three hour ****- the o
folks, hml left awhile back... lol
nope, that wasn't it... past tense of what you do with money
firefly - a sword or a ....
*****FIREWORKS!!!!!*****
feather, how about the weapon of choice in tarzan?
BRB - need to get Paul up for work. He should have got up a quarter of an hour ago.
ooh sure I would have monkey typed that one in a million years
thanks BGL
Congrats, minski!!!!!!!
musicmom...more help on the di9 (I'm dense tonight)
TO, in+correct an article+first vowel
brb
YAY MINSKI!!!
phone
lol nrk, neither of those...first wasn't in the group of three 5/12s, second was a 5/14
yay minski!!
di9 - negative prefix, place, picnic ruiner
kristin - if you have an argument you have a dis****. Now make that into a person who is in an argument is a dis******
yeah, I can't keep up with the chat and get my words tonight -- going too fast and too much to do (sorry!!!)
franmag - that is a weird word...ty
I am thinking that many young people enter the military as screw-ups and exit as strong and capable people. On the other hand, some intelligent, sensitive people enter the military and come out twisted or at least broken. My father was Air Force, I was Navy, my brother was Coast Guard. I was injured in Basic Training and sent home. My father retired. My brother was in for several years and left an alcoholic... I don't recommend U.S. military service to many people.
YAY Minski!
yes it is TO, yes it is!
Gotta go help Hubby do stuff around the house. Much thanks to all who assisted me in this monsterous endeavour. Nighty-night.
later minski!!
that's ok, i'll work on it later
Did I miss a clue to the ga6/27?
so basically if you're in good shape, military, no, but if you're a mess, military, yes
bgl, french cake
ga 6/27 french for cake
Night, minski!
night minski. *puts head down w/71 left*
bgl, yep, but here it is again: end with 3 vowels and a french sounding ending
37 to go....
go nrk!!
FIREWORKS!!!!!!! Yay, me! Thanks everyone for your help! May I return the favor?
hi again! i missed the past few minutes due to child interruptions =)
hmm....BGL...I'm still lost but I'll work on it honestly, thank you very much for trying! :)
hi kier!
french cake????
yay bgl!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay bgl!!!
Hi Stid--married to retiree, 20 years for him, I did 15 of them. Good life for us and kids, good retirement. Fortunately, he had some drive and goals. Not easy, but worth the effort in hindsight. I was a "good wife", not not a good "Navy wife"! Didn't go for the BS, but if he was willing to put up with it...
hooray BGL...a big accomplishment today!
yay, BGL!
If you are in any way emotionally damaged, I would say DO NOT enter any military force in any country whatsoevver/
kristinc, domestic dis****... does that help?
manicmama, ga6/27, garden entrance + first and last vowels
I didn't quite say that -- but a lot of people go into the military for the wrong reasons, or with unrealistic expectations. I wouldn't rely on recruiters for my information, I would ask people who are currently serving... and I would know in advance that it doesn't matter what you think you signed up for, you can be reassigned at any point.
may i please have help with the in4/4 after the dolphin, and the in6/21 that is not the opp of outdoors?
kristin~ dis+ to place something (pu4/5-s)+picnic annoyance
YAY BGL!
bgl, wanna work on this one for me? it's a sp 5/12 in that group of 3 of them together. i have the flood adn the one like the bridge with an extra vowel
congrats bgl! the sa 6,21 is driving me bonkers. sos.
feather, the weapon?

TO- in + wing s***
fb: think a shiny thing that is sewn on dress gowns...
i don't get it !
feathr, you need a weapon, change last letter of the bridge
in4/4places to stay when traveling
sa6 - start with christmas man, end with beginning of what you eat for thanksgiving
chat is going toooooooo fast for my slooooow brain
i had a hard time with di9 too kristinc
ea 4/5 our planet without the R
great icon, kierlex
Well, Stid, our military recruitment officers for RAF got it right back in the 70s when they refused me ex-hubby because they knew it wasn't what he wanted and he was just trying to follow in his father's footsteps.
Recruiter tried to enlist younger daughter to become interpreter. Passed tests w/flying colors--but recruiter told her to lie re meds she was taking for headaches. Hubby had little chat w/him and suddenly he didn't think that lying was such a good idea--he was quickly transferred! That's part of where military gets black eye.
good firefly (not good that you had a hard time but good now I don't feel so silly)
thanks again hurshy!
Kristin, did you get the di9?
brb...have to let someone in next door
I'm missing an an4/4 an5/10 pair. I have girls name/plural and spice w/ alt spelling...
feather, was the the sp you needed?
ty bgl - i have missed that word two days running! : /
hurshy, you rock
hithere, you need the one that sounds like response to a question
hithere- k****roo and plural
hithere - not the question but the ____, in boston, and latin plural
yes mom23, something similar happened to me -- highest score ever on the language aptitude battery for our area, but had some medical history with joint pain so when my knees were injured in training they sent me home with no support...
omg, lol, can't believe i missed that weapon
thanks guys
nothing but I's left (7), I can see the finish line...
Thanks, Hurshy....have that pair...is there another pair?
help with pt please?
nevermind, hithere, that was a 4/6
in 6/21 - not the opposite of outdoors?
and what the heck??? i thought lickety wasn't supposed to clear your checkboxes anymore???? augh!
in 6/21: in + length of a bridge?
TO- in +wing s*** (s4/5)
there's the higher point ones that BGL said but no other pairs...
Thanks Hurshy--watching RSox games gave an insight into that one!
perhaps you're getting confused and looking at the last ai4/4 and the first an5/10, hithere?
score on that game, mom?
rained out tonight...
25....
No game tonite--rain out. Sox can't lose tonight!
the sox need the rest...
please hurshy, can you find a creative way to hint the PT word?
32 here
that must have been it.
29
BGL...I'm back and yes I did get it...thanks were earlier in the log but this is moving at lightning speed tonight
let's see nrkii, do you watch much ESPN - if so, and you were japanese, you might call either tony or wilbon this...
ka clues? missing two of the 4/8 words
go feather, go nrk!!
PT- Congressmen may vote bipa****** (remove the ar)
What were they thinking letting Arroyo go and keeping Mr. Shellshock?
two of the ka 4 refer to japanese writing... both end in same vowel
yes, got it, ty both!!!
if anyone finds my pt clue humorous let me know...i know we're mostly girls here but still....
awesome clueing BGL
one ka4/8 is greek prefix meaning "with"
remove the pirates from congress hurshy? perish the thought!
3 of the 4 ka4/8s end in a vowel
thanks firefly!
i didn't say about congress that was BGL
sitd1!send more of that esp my way!
wha..?
ka4/8, sounds like sugar ca**, that word with first vowel at the end, sounds like kitty ca** and change last letter to first vowel
sorry hurshy -- BGL, you two look so much alike! LOL
brb
is kristinc back yet?
yes...hurshy here and furiously typing ;)
di9 again: 3 letter prefix + place something somewhere + picnic ruiner
These clues would mean so much more if I could read!
de 6/24 and 7/36 anyone?
Did I miss something? I went searching for a picture for tomorrow's icon...?
I did get the di9 finally though and still feeling embaraased it took me so long!
kristin, to leave a place?
oh kristin...do you want them if they are fishy?
i complimented your clueing, and Annibrook responded to me...does that count BGL?
duh...they were fishy hurshy, but hey...with 108 left, I can't complain :) thanks fran!
Kristinc - de6 & 7 - are you leaving?
yw kristin!
first ma5/14 and ma5/12?
Did Musicmom come back,yet?

Well, stop talking...
Okay. Got o/h off to work now. Who needs what?
ma5/12, plural of ma4/5, the lion's ma**
ag6/7 combo - like a business m****** (one who runs big business)
i think that's a different one hursh
i need a di 7/36 please
CadFan- ag+short Nathaniel (and plural)
ap6/21
feather, di+plural letter +pa4/5
it's one of the first two in 7/32's, not the 7/28
oh yes sorry bryan i didn't actually look at the words... in + proofread + vowel
np
Featherbee - di7/36 - to divide or separate. di + pa4.
ap6 - most appropriate
I'm back
sometimes the words I miss amaze me -- I got sp 5 meaning quick burst, but didn't get the sp 4 that is what you prod a horse with...
ap6/21 - ap+te4/4
kristinc, ap + what you take in school that has questions on it

nrkii...I needed that one too...who knows!?!
nrkii - Like I said earlier, sometimes, you need a break from the grid. When you return far more words become apparent.

night music mom!

go feather!!
iv drip no, but magic bottomless java mug....
this is the first time that I was so overwhelmed by number of words and the speed of the chat that I could not "clue and do" at same time
326 i-kat
what do you need feather?
st 5/10 and 6/21?
326 words, run while you can
i noticed that nrk!
ti 6/18 to start...
Those letters really weren't so bad. Yu can make it. You have time left.
feather, your turn... what's left?
I'm majorly stuck on the pa5s and 6s before the first pa 4/5. The only I have at this point rhymes with mesian (sort of)
I also plead difficulty with speed and all -- really exhausting today.
i think i'll take the advice and run
Anders - sounds like the end of the di7 we've been cluing all night. But change the spelling
st5/10 sounds like the first 5/10 that means smudge
ti 4/4 + ** the world turns
first pa 5/6 are an ode of sorts and its plural
the second pa 6 is an anagram of the first, think Italian for peasant...
Okay - finished the A's - I'm off with 235 found. Thanks for the help.
got it
anders - s5/10 qnd plural, 6/21 - sound like a mark on your clothed or those preetty church windows made of glass.
night cadfan!
the next pa 5 and 6 are people who are pre-judeochristian, and modern with multiple gods
hmm...an ode of sorts (*consulting the cats who are the only ones home)
See you later CadFan
with 152 left and still dinner to make i'll never get to the end, but i'll be back to enjoy you all and pick up a few clues -- still fun and addictive
first pa 5 is like pa 5/16 meaning pre christian religion, but change middle consonant to a vowel
Sorry! Site blipped!
later jilli!
kristin, pa + second vowel, repeat the first and end with consonant...
see ya jilli
tr 7/28?
goot the first 4 then, thanks!
nrkii, better clue than mine!
featherbee, tr***** authority, people in charge of trains
xoxoxo, all
feather, the subways and busses are part of the TR***** system
sweet dreams jillibus!
tr7 - buses and metros are forms of mass tr7
the 9/60 is the past tense of that
Okay, I'm off to bed. See you all tomorrow.
yep, just got the 9 from it
thank you generous clue givers1
good night BGL!

goodnight BGL, thanks for the help!
Kristin: if the fourth letter of the pa 5 you want were a D you might name it "ling ling"
night bgl!
aww crud, i'm still missing two Ts, thought i checked them all off...
kristin, it's like the pre-christian religion, take the last letter and stick it in th middle
does anyone have a clue for the first an 5/10, pretty please?
good clue stid!
the next pa 5/12 looks like window pa** with a double middle consonant. then past tend and plural...
Kristinc - the pa's today were enough to make a saint swear.
ahh, second ta 6/18?
those p's are nuts! (why, oh why did I leave them toward the end?)
an 5/10: a + close/not far
featherbee, ta+end of piano player, pia***
My o/h's initials re PA, so he's got it in the neck from me today! LOL.
ty stidmama :)
1a, I think of it as a person who lays out in the sun. If he did it as a religion, he be a ta****. Single consonant in the middle.
hooray, got those too!
A clue please for sa 6?
darn it, mis-checked. gotta hunt for the missing T now
feather, should be 4 letters from piano player pia****
pa 5/12 and 6/21 before what you do to an invention?
munner, it's an indian instrument, anagram of saturn
sa 6: the jolly old soul of yuletide - a + two point vowel + consonant.... anagram of saturn
yeah, i have that already...missing a T yet i checked all my boxes now...
sa6/21 - Persian dulcimer. Anagram of 'Saturn'.
SA6 The first four letters come from the guy wh comes at Christmas with the toys.
Then it's the 5th vowel and a short cane letter
kristin, take the last letter off of the invention thing
which T featherbee?
Thank you, thank you for sa 6!
