I love them, my fav!
the new omen. i am a wimp. demonic horror movies scare the crud out of me. i will not see it.
i saw the first (pretty good), and the second one looks like a really crappy version of it
yeah, the first one scared me, so i see no need to see it all remastered. same thing with the excorcist. ugh. freaks me out just thinking about it
Clues are up everyone.
haha. its funny that the scariest ones to me are the ones nobody else is really afraid of: zombies.
i have zombie nightmares at least 3 times a week, and yet i still love watching those movies :)
nope, zombies don't scare me at all. it's the creepy little kids. like the shining? yeah, horrifying...
that's really funny
So fast again, lickety. thanks so much
yeah, that ones great.

Mr Burns (golfing with Homer): No, no, no. Use an open-faced club! A sand wedge!
Homer: mmm... open faced club sandwich
:) sandwich sounds good. turkey with sprouts and red onion and a little mayo and some cheese
i say a croissant sandwich with cheddar, a lil mayo, some guacamole, lettuce, onions, and more cheese.....mmmmmm
ooh, not bad. i think a toasted pb & j will have to do.
yup!
Blast!! why wont my wretched boyfriend come home and bring me some medicine?!?

hah. no idea.
hmmm, can't help you there. i've got that song from deathcab for cutie "ill follow you into the dark" stuck in my head
i think that i might be punishing myself or something, subconsciously. its quite obnoxious
last song syndrome?
yours is much better
i've got a baby einstein tune in my head...
no way!
depends on what you hear last
*heared
we call that "crummy-song-a-titus". I like mine too

shminky, my husband is whistling it right now. oh, just dropped the f bomb! :) see ya later

what's the theme today choirs or navy, or is it navy choirs?
why are there 2 themes?
I think it's either, helenkeller
tx bgl - i went with the navy & choir combination :)
I like it, though. And I thought you'd
get a picture of the Navy choir (sorry, a little enter happy)
lol bgl - they have a choir? - well, i picked the song
Could be a choir dress in navy blue...
lol - see, now that you're thinking about it, there are lots of navy-choir connections, lol
coolies, a new list today, looks like a fine one 2 :D

Yes, much better than yesterdays!
yup
tenet
g'nite all. the baby is finally asleep. now it's my turn.
good nite shmin :)
cya!
goodnight.
I sould be going to bed also, since I have to get up for work in 4 hours. But I had too much caffeine tonight adn can't sleep
oh, dear
oh bgl - do you have a thinking job?
fennel
Only when I want it to be. I am a pastor, so I may be spending a lot of time "studying" tomorrow...
i am just going to adopt the policy to put words into that chat that i see in the grid, but really aren't there - that makes me feel better
LOL bgl
I tried fennel also. I've tried linear too
BGL...my husband is a pastor and I work at the church directing our children's ministry...where do you work at?
OR bgl, there was discussion earlier today, as to how god wants us to babble, so we are all really "on a mission from god"! :))
Helen, you have succeeded in making me see words that aren't there too! ;)
lol nef - oh, the blind leading the blind, lol
I am Associate PAstor of Christian Education at First United Presbyterian Church of DuBois, PA... how's that for a title?
good for you BGL...small world...and quite the title :)
kris - i really like your quote about love :)
sounds like something adler might have said (?)
thanks helen...it's a philosophy that served me well :)
kristin, did you finish yesterday's grid? I think I wrnt to bed before you had... of course not I'm back at the computer...
BGL...I did with over an hour to spare. Thanks for your help!
did anders finish? anyone know?
Is your husband a solo pastor or is he on a staff?
BGL...just me as the only other staff and even that is new (part time). Small church, about 80 in our congregation, we're in North Seattle. Love what we do btw.
I understand the love. I usually look forward toe ach day of work, especially if it is a day I'm working with the children or youth. Ours is a small church to have 2 pastors (about 150 regualr worshippers). But they are committed to children and youth ministry.
and with that, I should go to be because I do need to work tomorrow. Thanks for the chat folks, good luck on the puzzle (seems easier than yesterday)
keep up the good work BGL...nice to know what you do!
See you later, Kristin. Good night
nite BGL, nite helen and others and I'm off...
good nite kris

serenade
chic - your icon shows a california quail and we have lots of them here, doing a lot of screeching now!
What does a Californian quail sound like?
we have in AZ too!
Anyone have a total word count?
they make a little burbling noise; kind of like a percolator.
It sounds much more tuneful than the noisy crows I'm listening to.
best description of a california quail's call is "Chi-CA-go!" but sometimes it's just "CAH"
218 Uncagain
thank you
hello strangers

Jilibus, did you draw the dog on your icon?
Yes, hydra, I did, but it's a bit distorted here

the clue was re + the thing between England and France
Thanks!
Mr Allen is the foik hero of Vermont
For Buffy fans, the first name of Mr Allen is also the name of Giles' evil friend.
A word that starts with "E" is worth 7 points :)
i mean 6
mattygroves - 'Cept that it won't accept the spelling of that evil character, unless your are trying to get to the et 6/21
Yep, that's what I meant :)
now I wished I watched Buffy!
Buffy rocks.
Doctor Who rocks
Battlestar Galactica rocks
Stargate SG-1 rocked (not so good in season 10)
Buffy gets my vote!
I loved Dr Who but they don't show it here anymore. :(
coronation Street rocks
very little on TV rocks! I'll stick to books ;)

can I just say (randomly, from anyone in the UK) - Jordan's Coconut and Raisin cereal is absolutely lovely! Eating some now :) My new "find" for breakfasts

thanks Cat and Haz - I couldn't think of another clue!
lol Haz
no wonder i couldnt get it i am one !!!
apart from saying something disparaging about the people in Big Brother right now
lol
yw Ata, but your clue was great! I got it with one glance
lol
(and refresh for pic of what my silly dog is doing right now)
alalante i gave up watching BB it drove me crazy they are all DIM !!!
the ec4/6 can be extended to get 6/27, 6/24, 7/36 and 6/24.
I've never known anything like it - they are all such *idiots*!
yeah big brother is the worst show most of class watches it!!(unfortunatly)
LOL, I adore BB, only watched the US one, and agree, on any continent, they do have some idiots!
alalate yeah that why i no longer watch, the winners of the golden KitKat tickets go in soon!!
By any chance, is the dog sleeping, Atalante? It looks like a familiar pose to me!
i still cant get that word!!
ok guys have to go enjoy your Babbling !! x
sleeping and snoring!
Thought so!
you should see this lot, Cat, their average IQ must be about 30
LOL love the pic!
thats soo cute my dog snores
REALLY LOUDLY
LOL, Atalante, we had one like that a few years back, it was our worst one yet! By the way, love the doggie pic! :)
And now I must go - social event of the year coming up with the RDA barbeque. Sausages and burgers, here I come. Oh and louie, some people might say that paris hilton is an example of an ai7/36 - lots of oxygen in what sits on her shoulders (apart from the Prada bag) Bye all - back later.
doggy snoring is so funny. she's dreaming at the moment - running after something or other
Thanks for the ec hints FMitch - that helped a lot
bye Haz! Have fun!
bye have a great night
Bye Haz see you later :) yw spellit
bye haz
awww, so cute when they do that!
Hiya, everyone!!!!
let me think. 2 people have already left BB this year voluntarily cos it was doing their head in. there's a transvestite / transexual, not sure which!, a guy with Tourette's (that was kinda controversial when it started) and lots of ai7 blondes. and a woman with the biggest breasts in the UK
yep my dogs(2) barks in his and her sleep!!
Hi MM, don't recognise who you are today.
lol ata good description
my old dog used to snore so loudly he'd wake himself up with a big jump. and then look round to see where the noise had come from
LOL, what motley crew! Last year was our best one ever in my opinion. This summer is BB Allstars, first one yet, so hoping it's a good one. We have had some villians that I don't care to see come back, but I am sure they will be there, makes good TV.
FMitch - he is the creator of a VERY famous comic strip character, with links to an office-type environment.....
scott adams, isn't it?
oooh ive finally got that ai word!!
LOL, how funny! I love dogs, what charecters they can be!
Correct, atalante......

4 t's in a row, seems like someone is having a laugh lol
He's fine, eva, he's outside enjoying the sunshine.....
oh movieman-don't say the "s" word to anyone in New England these days. We might just burst into tears.
any hints on the 9 and the 8's?
the re 9 = re + ch 7/36
de8/50=another word for a decade or a period of 10 years..... ai8/50=plural of the ai7 (the "dumb blonde")........
thanks. Dont have the ch7/36yet but will now go looking. have the 7/40
TY Movieman--had the ai7--but not the plural...
thanks movieman-the ai's were simple, but the de is going to take me a while
thanks kateq-finally found the 9 and related 7!
that de8/50 is giving me trouble.
help with the ch 7/36 please?
what ch is your favorite tv program on?
Eva, someone posted a clue earlier as de+first three letters of the smallest US coin minus the last letter + first two letters of the coin above it in value + first vowel
and thank you! don't know how I missed that
thanks-that's for the de8/50, right?
yep! and if you remove the de, you get another word
...or you don't? whoa, I was sure that had taken
thnks a lot! got the de and was struggling to see what I was doing wrong with the ce(-{
Merp has just moved out of peaceful mode to standing on chest, staring in eyes, whining piteously. I'll ignore him for a little while longer.
any1 from m.p.s
what is m.p.s?

i warned them earlier Mr P LOL you never know who's watching

It sounds as if you have all been supporting him in having the kind of leaving that he needs and wants...so important ,and remarkable how he clearly feels that he has some say in his own timing.
2 more c's and h's and then I'll take a break
sorry mrpresident i'll change my self

ok bye
BFN eva!
cote
bye eva tc
sorry bout that
does any one now wat the numbers on the bottoms of the boxes mean???!!!
no
they are the point value of each letter
but they dont add up
how many words have you guys got
27
16
it helps having the point value... the more letters in a word there are, the more they account for something.... like the 5 letter words are x2, the 6 letter words are x3 and so on, that is how they add up
are you jess that goes to my school mps

ok
we have plenty of "jerks" over hear as well, goog for a giggle
i did not do anything bad ok plz!!!
To those of you from the school-we welcome everyone, not matter what their ages....we'd lvoe to have you play with us. But a lot of us have been playing this game with each other for a long time and there are sort of informal "rules" about how to join in. We don't abbreviate, at least not much, because we love words and speaking proper english. We do often chat about non-babble things, to get to know each other and when we are stuck, but we do it knowing that it is not a private conversation, but includes everyone listening. And we try hard to be kind and polite.
mr p that was for you
weird, you have been great today, really! thanks... eleni is off !

Hi Phlox! the oc7 is sorta french for the oc5...?
oops-seems I had the wrong time zone for the school gang, huh?
Good afternoon, dear gang
hey music and peri
I got it, Eva, it's the feminine version of the oc5,12
hello Sprite!!
and sprite i didn't see you how are you all?
thanks sarah! Who ever would have thunk it?
hi sprite!
Just came in. How's the grid? Oh hurshy, are you there?
Hi Sprite! You timed your entrance well - I think most of the verbose adolescents have left us
Was it bad again?
yes it was almost as bad as two days ago
It got a little ugly for a while, but for the most part it's not bad, just too much of it
at least Miss ABS was here yasterday
I think its just going to take them a little while and a little guidance in terms of learning how to apprpirately use the site. Then the ones who really enjoy playing will stick around and the others will go back to MSN
Yes, things are definitely better when she is on. Still it's too bad it has to be like that.
Does anyone have direct access to Miss ABS?
One of the teenagers was being rude! but they are gone! Most of the kids are nice and need a little introduction to community chats, that's all! please have patience !! As far as the rude and disrespectful ones go... leave them to me!!!
Eva, I do... and I am on it! We talk often
Some are nice, but a select few is nasty.
mornin babblers!
Hi Evan!
good morning/ afternoon all
i try to guide them as much as i can i was in there place not to long ago
morning abe
Good morning everyone
Back from my morning walk
Yep Sprite, and she has warned me who they are! It is best to let her know cause she can have influence, but even sometimes they ignore her! She has asked me to give them warnings and I am now doing that.
...and abe! And Merk!
Thanks mrp! I guess the major guidelines I would offer are: 1) That except for very brief interchanges, this should not be used for one-on-one conversations 2) Regular English 3) Have some patience and spend time working on the grid themselves before asking for help
goodmorning phlox! and amandacath
if you read my blog- i bash CUP:)
How is today's puzzle .. shorter than yesterday's I see.
has normal service resumed : )
That's a good thing, mrP. For those willing to learn and adapt a little, there is room enough ;) Only wish they'd leave the chatty chat to msn, not here.
my mind aint working on this puzzle today LOL
Eva, I totally agree :)
So I should drink my coffee first before attacking it? Is that what you're saying Unicorn?
If you guys are worried about giving warning and following through, don't be! Tell the little buggers off and tell them I will come after them! I have no fear of Australian adolescent bully kids!
You are a woman, Merk. You can multitask ;)
That's why I left for my walk, figuring some would have left by now.
All the time.
well put, phlox
Will do, mrP. Only wish I did not have to tell anyone off, I come here for a nice round of babble and fun, lol.
mrp-do you know them personally?
remind me not to mess with MrP ; )
thanks abe- i figured why hold back- i was in a "hater" mood
And Miss ABS is terribly worried that you guys are upset with the students being online... she has no control over that... but I do!! Let me who is spoiling the party and they are gone!
Safe to come back in now? I've found myself 126 words during 'playtime'.
lol phlox! i'm telling your bro!
where's your blog, phlox?
ha- oh he knows:)
Good job, mrP! Miss ABS is not responsible for the conduct of the students. But if you have some control, I love that :)
www.emmapoeta.com
Sprite, I am sorry but it is the internet and we can help eachother to help eachother
:))
Hi Jac, seems it is safe now :)
spent a lot of my life running an adolescent day treatment center and then working with slightly older ones at Harvard, so enjoy adolescent energy and think it's great when they have a place they can hang out with adults, but limits are always useful
I'm blond so I loved the ai words today.
True, mrP. Well, always willing to help. But patience is NOT my middle name, lol.
I'm back --- man go for a cup of coffee and get booted off firefox.
plus they can teach us a lot-especially about patience(-:
Once again, in case it got lost in the melee, I'd like to wish Ex-Wren a very Happy Birthday.
Yeah... Lord, please grant me patience. AND I WANT IT RIGHT NOW!!!
60 left. Where can they possibly be?!
Happy Birthday to You, Ex-Wren!!!!
HAPPY BDay EX Wren
Hiphip Hooray for ExWren!
I'm okay with pre-teens/teens hanging out. I just hate text speak. I am always harrassing Sarah to use proper English
Eva - probably in the same place my missing 92 are.
Happy Birthday Ex-Wren - Hope it is TERRIFIC!
oi! i speak gud
LOL Sprite!! you and me need to check into the same clinic for patience!
sarah-are you related to musicmom?
I learned a long time ago that when you ask for patience you get trials!
heh, no. Twas ajoke.
that would both make you Patients (see what I did there) he he
Not this Sarah:-) Sorry Sarahbellum I didn't realize you were on.
that too babbledude!
teehee!
dude!:))
bye for now
Loooooong suffering Patients even ;)
sorry!
bye Eva
Happy Birthday Wren!
'Bye Eva.
anyone have a hint for the E in the lower left corner?
This Sarah is a 31 yr old mom of 3 herself, and not called Sarah at all.
How old are your 3 Sarahbellum? My two are 12 and 6
clue on the AA5?
I don't know Evanadine
There's a natural gas thingy that could come from the corner e, Evan...?
CJ: past tense verb of what you will say when you find it.
CJ - when we saw fireworks we oooohhed and aa5
10, 6 and 3. They're a lot of work. Speaking of which, it's time to go to work. Catch you all later? CJ25, I looked at it and I oohed and I aa5/14.
AA I seeeeeeeeeeee
:D
Sounds like fun too Sarahbellum. Have a good day!
thanks amanda! i knew it had to be along that line, but i just wasnt finding the right combination!
oh wait, that one didnt come from that E! *dang!*
ahh, but a variation did. :D
Oh, happy happy birthday to our own Ex-Wren!!!!! I know this will embarass you a bit, but I must say that you are among my favorite babblers. Have a fabulous day!
Evanadine: try the same word, but use only 1 vowel.
how many letters evanadine? I found the other one
hmmm - I was afraid of that. Since I don't have the stats, I can't always tell - ah, wait, saw your post, will look
I keep seeing techno (and keep wanting to dance)
there are 2x E 6/21 that are the same with a different vowel in the middle
thanks!
got it!
Any dixielanders on? Isn't "tetched" a word?
happy birthday, ex-wren! and hi everyone!
my phantom word for today is "thread/threads"
Yes amanda - I was tetched in the head yesterday when I thought I could finish that grid with the children home all day
mine too Evanadine
I'm back, everyone!!!!!!!
Evan - It wasn't my phantom word, but it is now! LOL
Hi movie man
hey movie
Phantom words are SO contagious!
missed you movieman!
Anyone recognise the birthday boy today?
Ah, just realized the e's are in the wrong places, that's why it isn't accepted - I hope, anyway. It *is* in the dictionary
Hi movieman :)
its you Movieman
hah, do they spread, infecting all who notice them? or do they just jump fro one person to another? cause if telling you guys all of mine gets them outta my head, ill tell you the whole list! hehe
My phantom word for the day is 'cadet'.
Hi Movieman - sorry, he's not clicking with me
not a clue, movieman.
No Babbledude, I keep saying, my birthday is on February 22nd....
noted
He's a cartoonist, responsible for the creation of a character who exists in an office-type environment.....
he looks like ed harris from far away, movieman, but up close he is clearly not ed harris
Scott Adams!!!!
evanadine: share them and you will more! :)
dilbert?
Correct, Une!!!!!!!
I also have cheat and chin jumping at me
my hero!!!
*you will HAVE more
I am stuck on the an 7/32. Is there a clue out there?
Past tense of An5/10, Merk.
If you're a Finn or a Dane, Enable doesn't allow you.
thanks
well, it is time for the Babble Police to log out!! If the mps kids are obnoxious... email me and I will release the dobermans! Have a great babble and see you all later! BYE! (waving!)
Rhett and Sirhan haven't made it past proper nouns either, I guess
cya Mr P
See ya, MrP
Bye mrP :)
Icon changed.....refresh!!!!!!
I have an an5/10 word from lickety's dictionary and the puzzle won't accept it.
'Bye MrP.
So of course, it's not accepting my past tense for an7
Mine builds on Ne4/4, Merk.
OK, I'll work on that.
78 left to find. Breaktime. BBL.
Bye Jac :)
What's the second letter?
Icon changed.....refresh!!!!!!
My phantom word just popped out at me - coquette
bye jac
an7? *ears perk up*
Oh, Duh, ne
An7: came closer.
...and antlers. I can see I'm an5-ing the brick wall...
Thanks sprite, it all fell into place. All of a sudden I had all of the an. I don't know how I missed them, except that I haven't had my morning coffee yet.
I have my blonde-blind moments in every grid :)

Argh, my phantom words is 'rodent'!
Thanks to Sprite, I also have my ne's finished.

we are drowning here in ny!
It is cloudy and foggy in Ohio
sunny and already toasty here!
musicmom, are you a Lenny Bruce fan? I saw him perform in Greenwich Village in the 50's. He is saintly compared to today.
is the theme navy today?
I really didn't know who he was until yesterday. That was the icon theme yesterday. Today is choirs --- refresh
oh well work beckons time for a quick smoke and back to it so Bye all
What's today's theme?
this icon is a current photo of a choir I was in 19 years ago. The uniforms sure have changed:-)

My phantom word of the day is "lenient"......
I really want read and dear

No people from Finnland or Denmark, but from a Mediterranen island ... so inconsistent!

near the bottom of the CH's are two that refuse to be found. the ch 6 27 + ch 7 40 . some kind person help me please
Do you have the sung one, Grim?
ch 6 & 7 - apell like a sharp orange cheeses with only one cons in the middle instead of the double
somebody who ch5/14
I don't have the list Grim for I have a 7/40 that is the past tense of a 5/14 and I have a 6/27 that is the plural of the 5/16 --- they are not related
my phantom word is nadir...
thanks for help
thanks pabtrek
Think of the cheese or the gorge Grim drop 1 of the Double letters and change the last vowel Afternoon all
oo, good one bunny - had forgotten that word. We've had it before
Hi Mitch!
Hey FMitch :)
my phantom word is secrete
thanks bunny
thanks Fmitch
Hi sprite and amanda - great grid today!!
my phantom word is etiquette
that would be bliss right there- what a great word
That Qu is a lazy sob today, if you ask me.
and a big tease
There is an o7 that uses the same ending hithere.
isn't there an Enquette Commission? Proper noun, I suppose...
my phanthom is ocelet
my phanthom is ocelet
I thought 'enquete' was with 1 t, but that won't take either.
The "qu" isn't used at all today.
what about rh, please?
I want 'coquette'.
entente and detente keep wanting to be made too - maybe you're right, Sprite, maybe I should look it up
fmitch --- got that from your clue, thanks. i'm done now but before i go do you or anyone want any help.
qu isn't used not even IN a word
rh is a word that is in boards often- i've also seen is as a female name
yay, grim-bigyen!!!
annie - that is a common babblet -- rh+2 vowels
Glad to help Grim
yay for grim-bigyen!
Ah, the vulcano babblet again.
the en you need, en6/21 & en 7/32 - en + body part on top of your shoulder (leave off the "h" and double the "n")
ty musicmom and blue
rh4/5 is a flightless bird
yep, and the hairy fog one too - or foggy hair?
got it pabtrek
LOL amanda!
Any clues on the 8s and 9?
de8/50 another word for 10 years.
re 9 - re + you use the remote to change the *******
oohhh... that gave me a ch too, thanks bunny :)
ai7&8 think bimbos perhaps
thanks bunny -
Great, got them too, thanks FMitch :) Compounds, never my strong suit.
fmitch - great clue for the ai
ai 8 - movie title - or compund word, what you breathe + body part on top of your shoulders
Hello all - back to babble some more.
Hi haz
thanks, bunny - that one should be able to be past-tensed! We'd have an 11!
Hey Haz :)
yw moviemom Hey Haz how did it go?
I don't get the de 8 clue. Decade isn't 8 letters or in the grid<G>
hi haz, and anyone who joined since i last spoke
Hi Haz!
ai / someone who is silly and inane usu. attributed (wrongly) to blondes
The barbecue went very well - brilliant sunshine and everyone in a good mood. No food poisoning reported yet!
Hi haz and Owl
yep, i as a blond am offended by the term:)
phew just got in wow its hot today, hi everyone x
excellent news Haz
LOL Haz, glad to hear all went well :)
Now I'm ready to relax!
MM, end in like the rd dye "h" word, stick the third vowel in second to end
as you should be, blue
moviemom, take the 1st 3 letters of that word and then build from there
Can't type today, end IT like the red dye "h" word, add an "i" into the ending as the second to last letter to get the de8
thanks you guys. I have never ever seen that word before
Musicmom: it's several periods of 10 years, actually.
sprite to the rescue!
:P
that is good to know Sprite. Thanks!
potty break - brb<G>
gotta run some errands - brb

bye beast
Hannah's up --- be back soon
Sleep well.
Amandacath are you still there?
Haz have you found the lovely run of 4 words off the ec4/6?
Yes - it's a resounding series!
LOL well said!
hi there. i am new.
Hello aqua - hope you enjoy babble.
Hi aqua
Welcome aqua spring. Have fun :)
welcome, aqua
hi Aqua
FMitch and Haz, do you have the Et7/36? Strange word that is.
I'm back --- newly pierced ears are clean and she is eating cereal
let us know if you have questions
Hi Aqua
ok I will thank you
clues on that et7?
No sprite, don't have it yet. I go looking for a strange word.
does anyone have a clue for ar6/21?
Hello Babblers :)
mornin' faeire
It's Et + C5/14, a chemical substance to work on metal.
hi faeriekae
Morning Faerie!
It s a very strange one sprite
Hello faeriekae!
(((Music))) Hi!! Who got thier ears pierced?
Ar6: passionate
WoW what a nice greeting (*^_^*)
Hannah did for her 6th birthday last Friday. I
Marisum - ar and what you car gets if it hits something Hey faerie!!!!
thank you sprite
Got it now, thanks sprite.
thanks sprite
which c 5/14?
faeriekae...they are nice here
The singsong one, jbp.
The intoning one
Music -Oh she must be so proud of her newly pierced ears now. Is she wearing her hair pulled back?
jbp - the monk one
Hi Aqua Yes this is wonderful group of people from all of the world :)
thanks gregorians!!
She actually went and got it cut short. She hates to have her hair brushed and we have a pool so we thought it would be easier for the summer
It's a milestone, the Piercing of the Ears :) My daughter had it done 2 years ago, at 6 too. And she still is proud of it.
she looks about 3 years older instead of 1
she looks about 3 years older instead of 1
she looks about 3 years older instead of 1
lovely
Yeah, that's 3 indeed! LOL
Well that's even better to show off her little sparkling ears :) And much easier on you.
LOL
I can't believe how my girls are growing up. Sarah really looks like a young lady any more
It's just gets better though Music you get to see the fruits of your labor growing every single day.
that is true faerie and we really have a lot of fun together.
Is Sarah wearing a bra yet. That is when it starts to be kinda funny.
yes she is wearing a bra and shaving her legs
Not a 6 year old, for sure!
No Sprite - Sarah is my 12 year old
LOL
OMG shaving her legs you gotta be freakin' out.
O dear, did I get it all mixed up again? Sorrrrry!
No problem. I get them mixed up all the time:-)!
Hihi
Sprite Hannah is 6 and Sarah is 12. Don't you know anything about Musicmoms family. LOL
Yeah - Faerie - it became one of those pick your battle moments. I tried to tell her no for a while but I didn't really have a good reason - other than I wish I were still 12 and didn't have to shave
12 is young to shave legs. sorry I am only chatting with you. hi
I'm back!
And Greg Music's hubby is drop dead georgous.
Aqua - it is in my mind but she buys her own supplies
You're welcome to the chat too, aqua spring.
amandacath!
how was the play??????????
LOL Fairie - thanks!
thank you sprite
amanda: how did the premiere go?
I just told her she was going to have to shave for the next 60+ years and if that is what she really wanted to do - go ahead
Yeah Amanda - how did it go?
Faerie - we realized when we went to see DaVinci Code that Greg looks like Tom Hanks now that his hair is longer
ROFL and the sad thing is, is that it's the truth.
It went fairly well, thanks. A few line bungles, a couple of technical glitches, but all in all... sadly, no funny stories to tell!
OMG Tom Hanks is soooo cute.
That is excellent Amanda -- how long a run do you have?
how long a run is it amanda?
Faerie - I'll try to get a picture of him and the girls and email it to you.
Nah, funny stories are great, but success with the play is MUCH better! WTG amanda!
musicmom, get out of my brain! ;-)
but your's is better than mine jbp
Oh please do!!!! I would love to see an up to date photo
Okay I'll get them together tonight
2 weeks - sort of. Wed-Sat and Wed-Sat. If you really want to look, there are some pics up at: http://de.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/h azet31/album?.dir=/a5f3re2&.src=ph&.to k=phWSe_EBtiH2bmqu http://de.pg.photos .yahoo.com/ph/hazet31/album?.dir=/69e1 re2&.src=ph&.tok=phFRe_EBn177GEVh
Excellent Amanda
Thanks Amanda :)
I can see you are friends.
You can be friends too aqua. Babbleland is a very friendly place
we like meeting new friends
Sorry for the incredibly long addresses - and be warned, there are over 300 pix, they haven't been sorted out yet. That's me with the f4/7 a4/4 (the first two words I saw today - think I'm fixated)
Aqua where are you?
I think it is so nice you are friends. I can tell and it is nice to see.
Just be careful not to put words from the grid in the chat<VBG> I *never* do that <wink>
Lol musicmom. NONE of us ever do!
how do you play this game?
Oh yeah and fair warning --THIS GAME IS VERY VERY ADDICTING!
Oh neither do I <blush>
are there any limitations besides more than 3 letters
are there any limitations besides more than 3 letters
good morning.
Donald: you stare at the grid until you see a word, then you enter it in the Add Word box and you hope for the best.
donald --- all tiles have to be connected and not used more than once in each word
good morning, spec
I think you enter words on the grid and get whatever you can
how come sometimes there are letters to make teh word and it does not accpet it?
check out angelsong's page (linked at the bottom) for more explicit instruction
Donald - we often refer new players to Angelsong's resource page under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page. It gives lots of information.
They must be connected, Donald.
are they connected to each other?
ok
This is like Boggle if you have ever played that game
to learn to play babble you should go to the bottom of the page and click on Anglesongs Resource page and read the rules and come back and join us. You can also as for clues
Donald: no proper nouns, no abbreviations or acronyms. However the word list the site uses can be inconsistent on those.
esquian...where are the children???
ANyclues for ch6/27?
I have to go for a while Happy Babbling
"can be inconsistent"... amanda is our queen of understatement :)
bye FMitch
Later FMitch :)
Marisun - you are probably looking for the one that looks like cheese but - one consonant
ch6/27 is the plural for ch5/16 - sounds like meat that has been cooked too long, but spelt differently
Bye FMitch - see you later maybe.
Bye Mitch!
Haz1558 I got that clue. thank you!
hmmm
That's good - you're on your way aqua!
go aqua go!
ho9w can you all possibly have time to do this?
ho9w can you all possibly have time to do this?
I feel a new addict coming on... welcome to the club, aqua ;)
There's more than one ch6/27, I've now discovered, thanks to musicmoms clue.
<taps finger tips conspiratorally> VERY Good! A new convert/addict
Donald -we make time:-)
amandacath, you mentioned yesterday that your costume involved you having a gi-normous butt...this is only apparent in photos 54 &55, i think. ;-)
Seriously, most of us come back to it on and off throughout the day/night
is there another ch6/27 at the top of the ch list? music mom are you talking about the first one?
Donald - we don't eat, sleep or do anything resembling work. Our houses are tips and our husbands neglected.
There are 6 Haz!!
We stay up all night or play at work, Donald :)
It's easy Donald - you just blow off every other responsibility you might have
the one I clued is the second one I have. I'm not using the list.
make time? you have founda way to increase the 24 hour day and make it longer? How can one make time?
6 of them? Have you finished FMitch?
i see amanda
6 ch6/27's?
There is one that is the pl that Haz clued --- swiss ch*** is a veggie. The one I have looks like a type of orange cheese but spelled slightly different
Who said "housework" 30 lashes for you!!!
Yea what amanda said
Nah, we all have 24 hours a day. The rest is a matter of priorities :)
DONE...anyone need a clue?
Donald Rat. It is ok. It is a game and fun... come have fun
wtg Ouwachita!
That's what that swiss thing is! I was wondering. Like what kind of veggie?
YEs, thats why I have to go as Istill have lots of work to do. 27's and 24's
UGHGGHHGHGG runs screaming from the grid ----- housework? That is a four letter (+5) word
Go Ouwachita!
I believe there is 4x Ch6/27.
Good news! My daughter's just got news that she has her first (temporary) teaching job. We're thrilled!
*fingers in ears* I can't hear you*
BRAVO Ouw!
i mean i could sit in my office all day and do this, but eventually, like in a week, I'd get fired
i mean i could sit in my office all day and do this, but eventually, like in a week, I'd get fired
Haz that is terrific exciting news!!!
Congrats for your daughter, Haz :)
Excellent Haz
thank you ever so much music
That's fantastic, Haz!
Donald - print the grid - find the words on paper and then type in later
Donald they will never notice.....just try it.
congrats haz!
Haz, good luck to your daughter, congratulations!!!
amanda - did you figure out the veggie?
Donald, there is an E4/6 where you are typing :)
Donald Rat, you are funny. you would like it here cause they are nice
It is incredibly difficult to get a permanent teaching position, especially as she is fresh from college. This is to cover a maternity leave. God bless that baby!
its not a metter of being aboe to hide--i dont have to hide--its a matter of getting things done--hey I teach
hello all.....just got here today....that's great news for your daughter Haz....she must feel really proud of herself...as you must too !!....tell her congratulations and hope she enjoys it !
I got my permanent job (many years ago) because I covered the end of the year for someone on maternity leave. Best wishes to your daughter!
Hi karys
We have a couple of teachers here too, I know that for sure.
I had the word already, musicmom, was just wondering what sort of veggie it was (I thought it was an alternate spelling for pieces of broken pottery *blush*)
She'll be taking P1 (5 year olds) and she loves the little ones so she is delighted.
Hi Karys!
If I type odette in the word box one more time I'm going to scream
well i gotta go you all have fun i suppose....
amanda - it is a lettuce type of veggie.
amandacath, it's greens, like collard or turnip, or kale
sort of
Donald that could be a problem then however.....we do have a fellow babbler Hurshy who is also a teacher so not sure how she manages to do it but she seems to be playing everyday.
Lol musicmom. Try 'coquette' for a change! *whispers softly: I see fireworks...*
We will Donald, we will.
amanda...it is like spinach, which I hate
Ahhh. And odette should be a word - a little-bitty poem.
<shouts> BRAVO SPRITE!!!
Bye Donald come back again.
Congratulations sprite!
Congratulations Sprite.......
This was a fun grid! Anyone who needs a clue?
well done sprite !!!!.....don't think I shall finish today :)
yea sprite & ouwachi=ta!\
yay sprite!
How do you do it Sprite? You never cease to amaze me!
It is very hard to babble with Blue's Clues playing in the background. I may need to take the laptop to another room<G>
congrats, sprite
Not yet sprite - I have 95 words left to find but am, as yet, listless and peaceful
i need one more ch 6/27... have greens, burned (minus a consonant), and the almost cheese
dunno, amanda... I just start and refuse to stop until the grid is done, lol. Kinda stubborn.
to sing, repetitively... jbp.
im done
oh wait, you must have that one.
Yeah oggy!
tha'ts a 7/40 tho isn't it misshoax?
way to go oggy!!
yes jbp that is a 7
I cant get thevery first ch6/27?
BRAVO OGGY!

Congratulations OGGY!!!!

Yay Oggy! I do that too, Sprite, but you are so fast!

yay oggy!
ah nevermind. i need a coffee before i start trying to help people.
Me too jbp
I have Ch6/27 outer clothing that is acceptable to the Taliban.

Sprite - how many ch6/27 words are there?

'cuz burka doesn't start w/ ch

(quick on the uptake am I)
Oh he4/6 is down and I'm going after all the words now.
lol jbp
hi karys! so good to see your smiling face!
I have 4x Ch6/27
People have clued the DE 8...but I can't find it....any more specific clue...
hi Temple...ty...good to see you too !
de+ first 3 letters of another word for penny & double that consonant+ not you + vowel
kkiln --- de8 a series of periods of 10 years. Starts with the first three letters of one period of 10 years. Ends like the red dye h word (-h) but with a vowel inserted
ty Sprite
jbp, thank you, was working on the de/8 for ages
jbp - i have that taliban covering -still need a clue?
faeriekae - you start with the hard ones and it gets easier from there!
i'm still looking for that 1st ch 6/27?
yes, plz, musicmom
mee too jbp
Haz - I see that
Thanks :)
For the 1st Ch6/27: start with Ch4/7, then 2st two letters of "to tear up"
gotta go let puppy in BRB
I need the taliban clothing - the one I know doesn't work (unless you guys have an O next to a D that I don't)
jbp, perhaps, burnt but remove one cons.
Aha, got that one - thx, Sprite!
thanks sprite!
yw :) Anything else, before I split?
gotta work
bbl
jbp...thank u mucho....I tried and tried...I needed you to spell it out...
ch6/27 --- the ch4 that is a hanging dimple after voting + first two letters of to go up
bye Jbp and Sprite! thanks for the help
bye jbp! bye Sprite!
bbl
any dh words today?
Bye Annie
need to check email brb
how many words today?
218 words
I am looking at the list and it says 218. I don't see 218! Sorry LOL
any clues for re9?
Marisun - mediums might do it
re + swim the english ***
Jump in, aqua spring!
I'm back. The puppy "cloe" wants to stay out and finish digging a hole under my mountain ash tree.
hello all. Could somebody please clue the e in the bottom left corner?
thank you abe! I got it!
aqua -- I don't have them all yet but Sprite finished so they must be there:-))
seejay - it's a variation of a natural gas thingy
seejay: it's a gas!
seejay = it is a gas. there are two of them with different middle vowels. The second one comes off the lower corner e
welcome back Faerie
Thank you 72 Temple Owl! I got that now
hi faerie! at work so will be here only a few minutes
Hi TO :)
still drawing a blank on the 9.
marisun - did you get the English ch7 clue? Add re to the front
Got it, thanks.
now ido
clues for ch 6/27 & ch 7/40 (the second one)?? please??
Marisun - discovery ch_ (water spelling) with re at the front
actually seejay - the gas is not from the bottom e
thank you. I hadnt gotten the ch7 until now thank you both lots. it all makes sense now.
mama - looks like orange cheese only spelled different and the plural
TO one of the gases is
i don't have that one either! : /
more than one gas?
ether
mama - looks like a misspelt kind of cheese. I think it's a hebrew word
change the vowel in the one you have
I am very pleased with what I have - 113 words. I have to go now. Bye and thank you!
Two gasses, Temple. Only differ by one letter (the second vowel in the word).
: D
bravo aqua --- come play with us again
72 TO yes. Same as first gas but with a different vowel in the middle
No TO that's not it but close LOL
ty
150 words - list-time for me
great Amanda - that's what I'm working for too. I have 134
I've only got 104 and may have to go to a list soon. Still hungover and not being as productive at work as I could be!!
Katie -sounds like you've been having fun
Does anyone have a list of the 7s?
MM - had a black tie do last night, but it was work as well. We had a good speaker but a bad meal, never sure which way round is better!!
Seems to never work out to have both does it katie? Been to many black tie affairs with my husband and note that problem
hiya everyone!!!!
hi bex - how are you today?
Hi Bexs
Hi ya Bex !!!
im fine thanks just very very warm
hello!
HI people
it is getting quite warm here as well
Hi nrkii and jozimatt
Just found the in7....... Boy, it really took guts to find that one........LOL
Hi bex, jozimatt, nrkii. Good one, movieman!
in7 hmmmmmmm and it needs guts ---- let me see ----- focus........
GUFFAW Movieman!
Great clue movieman
Thanks Movieman!
Bex check out my new icon you may need to refresh. I found this a few days ago and thought of you LOL
LOL movieman! : D
nice movieman!
lol {{faerie}} love it :)
{{{Movieman}}} Hiya....... Excellent clue
Bex looks like Kermit partied a little too much huh?
Faerie......... {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} }}
44 left to go here...
Okay I'm feeling very dense. Quit telling him what a great clue it is ---- I don't have it yet:-))
yea :)
does it have something to do with the f4 word?
Music it's in you stomach
OHHHHH DUH!
Thanks
Music - think internal organs, viscera......
music mom, a quaint word for hotel + the front and back outsides of your house - first letter
case of fish please
think chitlins, musicmom
It was an excellent clue movieman
no fish for that, it was not obvious mm
ewwwww amanda:-)
LOL Music!!!!!!!!
Certainly, Music, would you like cod, or something larger?
yeah, it is pretty ewwwwww
nrkii - fish for the fact that I made it much more difficult than it was
halibut I believe movieman
Nrkii - I just looked at your icon....Toooooo funny.
You know because I play this game just for the hal-i-but
thanks faerie :)
it is very funny nrkii
I thought, what better combination of navy and music?
Going to change icons brb
I've got a Dilbert icon, 'cos it's Scott Adams' birthday.....
looks like better refresh.
I don't have either of the 8's -- could someone offer me VERY SUBTLE clues for either?
and I'm back with my choir of faeries
is either a compound word, for instance?
ai8 is a compound
nice fairie!
thanks mm!
de8 is a pain to figure out it is a series of periods of 10 yeras
years
oh, can't believe I missed that!
nrkii ai 8 is what you breath plus what sits on top of your shoulders *teehee* I actually have that one
Got the AI -- that's the one I should have seen earlier!
Going to play around a bit with the DE now...
the children are apparently starving to death and wasting away. I'll be back in a little while.
later Music!
anybody got the last fe6/30? I've got the matted wool one...?
what the? i went to bed with 62 words left and now i have 85. anyone have a similar problem?
the last fe6/30 I've got is a fox
amanda....Ive got one that fishes have
unless i'm wrong, which is possible
hey bryan, no problems here
hey nrkii perhaps i was dreaming
a fox, huh? It's not vixen....sounds like?
well I dreamed **)R$)(*%@# babble all night, so it's very possible
sounds like nothing else lol - its a weird word. its a little cute fox that lives in deserts that has really really big ears!
Bryan when I went to bed I only need 50 to finish but I got up this morning and had 218 to go. Must be something wrong with the system huh?
my points are incorrect on a couple of words on teh list...fe4/14 for example
Oh, that thing. know what you're talking about, now if I can only remember what it's called....
Marisun - I've been having 4 letter words scoring as 5's so I'm not complaining.
haha nrkii, i know really faeriekae? ok maybe i'm not dreaming
lol ok
No Bryan I think I dreamed that also. LOL
its thoring me off a bit. I depend on licketys list too so its hard to plug in the words.. im just learning this game, thriday playing. lol
After yesterday grid I think we all should have had nightmares.
haha i'm starting to dream about babble the way i used to dream about Tetris- not good
faerie, I thought you were serious! LOL
Bryan, exactly!
i'm still getting over my headache from yesterday's grid!
Nan just screwing with your head....it seems to be easy to do that today LOL
the FE 6/30 fox word sounds like FE + what connects your head to your shoulders, but double the middle consonant
yeah, I'm groggy and gullible
refresh for a pic of the fe6/30 :)
Yay for Wikipedia - put in "desert fox" and it spit the right word out. Gotta do some stuff now. bbl
hey nrkii, i see you're from NJ- what part?
Lambertville these days Bryan (on Delaware River, 15-20 miles north of Trenton) ... was in Morristown this time last year
Atalante -- it's like a fox/rat!
right across from New Hope, i know it well- very nice - i'm in NY now but i still go back to Rahway quite often
yeah, I work in New Hope now, which is why the move -- I live right in center of town, in one of the thousand duplexes
Hey - my mum's in Yardley.
Mine is not one of the ones that is Orange on the left and Green on the right
I used to live in Yardley -- 5 years ago!
And matty, I was born in Patchogue ... small world this babblonia
cool- i love that area. i was just there a few months ago. went to Frenchtown too- Yardley- i went on haunted hayrides there during college!
at trenton state college, now TCNJ
I haven't been to Frenchtown yet ... still getting acclimated with L'ville. But it seems like they have a lot going on up there.
not as much as L'Ville, it's kind of small, but quaint
We just had ShadFest here in Lambertville a few weeks ago. My first Shad Fest!
and i am born & raised in hackensack! in pa now not far from nrkii!
there are lots of places in the grid today - ardeche and ardenne from france and chenai from india and probably loads more!
Yes, Temple tells me what the weather is going to be before it hits me! :)
another jerseyan, nice
israel too!
Owl are you still there now?
oh wow! yes!
oh PA, i see- sorry

cool. yeah i'm in nyc, i like it here. lots to do
Ata~ You should check out this website: http://fantastic.library.cornell.edu/
TO, it was fun, but expensive. Several blocks of artists and artisans, food, music and fabulous weather. I got a couple of unique things for gifts, so I had fun with it.
I hung my fish on my porch. It's still there actually -- should really take that in this weekend. :)
oh WOW! ty marymary! that looks *amazing*
I stumbled across it yesterday and totally thought of you
never explored the city. but you two are not far from musikfest you know! : )
good morning all!
hi stid! back for more i see...
hiya stid!
howdy stid!
all, what's the icon theme for today?
Temple, I
Stuff done, am back. Hi Stid!
good question jbp!
hi amanda!
Temple, I'm thinking of musikfest -- have to figure out if I'll be around ... near my vacation time
icon them is NAVY/CHORUS or CHORUS/NAVY
back for as long as I can this morning, have to leave in a couple hours.
hi stid. where is musikfest?
<---- This is as close as I come to navy...
oh -- okay... back in a flash!
that's the end of doing anything productive today! that site is just amazing!
that is a great site mary- thx
Nice Vi!
But nrkii, yours is the best. (By the way, nrkii, did you get my reply to your e-mail a week ago or whenever that was?)
yes vicuna, but I haven't gotten my *stuff* together to act on it -- want to!
Always glad to share the wealth
fantastic site, Marymary - will have a good look at it later
Okay, no problem. I just wanted to make sure the e-mail hadn't been lost and you thought I was blowing you off.
be back in a bit
nah, other way around -- would be so grateful if you reminded me again if I haven't done anything by end of weekend
have to go dancing now be back later bye all!!
Okay. I'm good at nagging. Just ask my kids!
see ya bex!
Dance like the wind, bex!
cool icon, vic. refresh for mine
bryan - bethlehem pa - not far from ny. see my profile for website. i need volunteerss - stagehands!
okay back...
very nice iconage today
Ok I'm back again
Hi stid=== I'm back too
great idea jbp! *singing* what do you do with a drunken sailor what do you do with a drunken sailor what do you do with a drunken sailor... Er-lie in the mor-nin?
Sheesh, that refresh took forever. But at last I can see that you are highly appropriate, jbp!
nrkii you're not so bad yourself! ;-)
back- bethlehem, i know that too- nice town too
sometimes I think it would be nice if the grid were like a Chinese puzzle box - we could slide the tiles around
(Yo ho, and up she rises...)
i believe that is the first time that sentence has EVER been uttered! thx, Vic
musicmom, even in the biggy-size I can't make our your icon... a stage show of some kind.
wow, what was with that refresh -- I was very very scared
i'll check that site Owl- will volunteer if i'm in the neighborhood! i think i'm going to lancaster for a day next weekend
but then we'd have 1000 word puzzles! eeeep!
Being appropriate in Babbleville takes a whole different skill set from cubicleland.
It is a current photo of the show choir I was in 19 years ago. The uniforms have really changed
indeed, vic!
ata - hadn't thought of that
not that i'm appropriate here much either
thanks. things do change in that length of time don't they!
Yep We all wore tuxedo shirts, bow ties and cummerbunds. The girls wore circle skirts. Guys wore tuxes.
Now the guys wear suits but the girls wear formals
Pretty much the only inappropriate thing here is trollism, so you're more appropriate than you think.
i need one of the fe 6/30 words... I have the one that's wasteland+bodypart
two more ch's for me, then I'm off - anyone have the last two (after the cook)?
jbp, was scared of
funny thing about show choir... Most of us got our sr. pictures taken in the uniform. Mom said it wasn't a good idea, but I did it anyway. Now I hate my sr. pictures.
fe6/30 - past tense of fe4 that's a soft material
--------> stage manager bryan - staging is the best work...
fe6/30 - past tense of fe4 that's teror
hello how is everyone today?
thanks Vic!!
amanda, ch + baseball player MEL ***
hi ella
and ch + beginning of gas word that is in today's grid
How is everyone today?
torme?
hi ella
ok ella, and you?
musicmom are you my friend?
chtorme, yes
fine thankyou
chgibson works too
(Speaking of the one inappropriate thing, I believe we should all beware...)
hint on the gas word? ;-)
gas word? beans?
chgibson?
vi, yes
it's an ET 6, the gas word
what has everyone been up to?
gas word? fart isn't in the grid today
chbrooks?
there are two
haha
Thanks, nrkii - got them. Will return to finish late tonight, I suppose. See you then, if anyone is still here!
I have both gas words - just being silly
chstottlemyer?
bye amanda
bye amanda!
Temple wins!
bye amanda!
chowyellow?
by amanda1
o
bye amanda
Bye, amanda.
i don't get the gas (i bet it involves fish)
I only have one et 6 gas word... is there another et 6, or just another gas word?
bye amanda!
they are both e words stid - just change the vowel
there is another et 6, stidmama, change vowel
thanks abe.
You don't get gas jbp? Do you take Beano?
gas like fuel or gas like not liquid nor solid?
fuel
my cubemates might beg to differ
LOL
ok, i got the one that ends in the guys who served their leige lords
but i don't see how there can be another vowel....
that should NOT have taken me so long! LOL jbp it's a fuel used for gas stoves....
just type it!
sorry i don't see it
WHY do I never see the opera solos right away? Lame!
jbp, start from different E
musicmom, I missed those too!
jbp - just change it. starts in the lower e
a whole new line and slogan for Nike... "Just Type It" for office wear...
and I knew to look for them
thanks for pointing them out musicmom! :-)
how can i start from a different e, when there's only 1 e for et words?
shoot me
there are 2 :)
of course, I always miss the body parts...
no there isn't
LOL! sometimes even after i've followed a phonetic clue, i STILL cannot see it!
catch of the day is here --ahoy!
jbp - are you using the same grid the rest of us has??<G>
meanwhile, an hour later, I am still looking for the de 8 and I feel like I've typed in every possible combination... I know it has to start with same first 5 letters of the 6/24 that follows it... from there, I don't know...
(like shooting fish in a barrel?)
ok nrkii, let's crack this....do you have de 6/24?
there's a de 8? *dives into grid* *splash*
de + the first 3 letters for "penny". double the final letter of that + add 2 vowels
yes
Nrkii, for the de8, think of the ending of flowers that grow year after year.
btw - being navy day, we have to harpoon you
de+first three letters of a penny+consonant+two vowels
hey I didn't have the de6 thanks!
ahoy indeed. thar she blews!
GOT IT!!!
thanks!
just got! cool word...
i only have on eword from the top left i - anyone have them?
never mind...
Tempole... in that means to be put up at a hotel?
nice recovery TO
what's the other?
your guts
just got it
thx
intestines? LOL I think I need help with the guts word...
Hi guys, just dropping in to say I havent forgotten you, just been so busy with baby Georgia.... not got time to babble yet, just wanted to say hello
co 5/14... got the one for the person who writes computer script
like the front lawns of quaint hotels, but drop the Y
Good morning... ok, my usual question... # of words today? lol
hope you're well Aussieme!!
oh congrats, aussieme!
218
AUssieme! you're back. We have missed you so much!!!
{{{{AUSSIEME!!!}}}}
what a darling baby... are you both well?
yes, i am well.... typing with one hand at the moment, other hand full of baby !!
Hi Aussie - CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW BABY!!!!
cat 218
jbp, loop through the other e...
hi aussieme!
she's beautiful AUSSIE!!
What's her name she is beautiful :)
thx jbp and stidmama :)
had no idea that was a word --thanks vic!
help with the ce 5/12/6/21 combo that comes between penny and the last 4/5
well saints be praised -- I am so happy for you all. GEorgia is a lovely name for a little girl
Thank You all...... I'll have to change her picture..... 13 days old now guys
So... my minimum goal is 109...
you can do it cat -- I have 103 in just over an hour.
(I'm not convinced it IS a wrd, jbp. But so goes Babble...)
(Or even a word.)
Congrats, Aussieme! Beautiful name for a beautiful baby.
aussieme she's a cutie!
Gorgeous Georgia!
she has a head of hair on her!
brb
musicmom, i've got my best monkeys working on it
MusicMom, CE + Ave Ma***
thx for the encouragement, stidmama... I got 10 right of the bat.
Aussieme--so good to know you are back among us--have been wondering how you were. Welcome to baby Georgia. SYL--off to the library
thanks
I am totally sidetracked by the pretty baby -- the mama in me wants to hold her, but my arms just aren't that long!
later hetty!
heh, I'm glad we don't use the same dictionary as the Scripps Spelling Bee...
thanks nrikii
stid, did you get the guts one?
no nrkii, I was trying to think when Aussieme appeared and my brains went down.
IN 7 = the front lawns of quaint hotels - Y
I don't know any quaint hotels... *sob*
IN*
LOL stid! i'll have to use that one!
"The highwayman came rif=ding, up to the old in- door. Over the cobbles he clatterd and clashed in the dark in7 (+y). He tappped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred..."
Holiday IN* + outside spaces - Y
(Whoa, I don't know what rif=ding is. But "riding" I understand.)
ok, i just realized you were talking about quaint hoTels, not quaint holes
omg.
have changed my icon, can you see her?
Thanks Vicuna... and nrkii... *looking*
i still don't get the clue,
Quaint holes are where hobbits live.
if she's the one onthe left AUSSIEME, she's beautiful!
Holiday IN* + 3 feet - Y + plural
nrkii..... yep, the one on the left !! hee hee
jbp: think southern us word for guts - pig in
oh, got that one... y'all had me really confused...
i'm lunching... bbl
oh my blessed stars... that was way too hard for chitlins! thanks all!
Hi all!
Aussieme she is soooooooo beautiful!!!!!!!
stid, we were trying not to use the CH word :)
ty shorty, I think so too...
phone brb
hi bgl
yes, Georgia is adorable. Well done, Aussieme!
Hi BGL :)
ty stid.... she was well worth all the drama...... and..... better news, my diabetes has gone too
that is wonderful news Aussieme! hi BGL!
Very adorable, Aussieme!
help with en 6 please?
we didnt think it would go, but here we are, no more injections 4 times a day
I have the et 6 that is part of natural gas, but I am missing the other et 6. Any clues?
merk, change middle vowel
the other et 6 is also a gas, different middle vowel
en6/21 - a group of nine, apparently. Ends with what you do to bread dough, minus first letter
I don't have any ens yet...
I thought I had tried that. I must have done a typo ... not a rare occurrence.
oh vicuna, I knew that word, ugh and thanks
that was a good clue, Vi, thanks!
what a sweet picture, aussieme
The en6 is en + what you do when you make homemade bread. You punch it down and then kn*** it, but drop the k.
thanks abe.... she is so laid back
that's wonderful. and i'm glad that your health is better too aussieme
much better than last week abe.... too much drama..... wound popping open, not reccommended !!
enead
ha. sorry.
i'm back
just sat on the keyboard.
HI musicmom, welcome back.
well, I am below 100 to go and need to do a few things about the house before I have to leave... Aussieme, I am glad you came on to say hi -- so sorry you had to go through all that -- is your incision better now and are you pain-free?
How are you today BGL?
yep, much better and almost pain free
see you later stidmama!
Bye, stidmam!
Doing good today, mm. Only 67 left to go in this grid.
see you soon stid.... dont know when I'll get the chance to get here again guys, soon I hope xx
hi all - na4/5 and its plural fit in with the ce5/14 and its plural - does this have to do with the theme. Is it ok to ask what the theme is or do i have to go looking??
I have 72 left. Distractions abound anymore
I'll finish this one though
the icon theme is CHORAL/NAVY
That's what happens during summer vacation. I did 140 words last ngiht before I went to sleep.
thx nrkii!! guess my guess was WAY off!! lol
You were up late!
Just getting back into now.
but the grid itself doesn't have a theme, if that's what you mean?
I tried to get as much done before they got out of bed as possible.
re9/66? hints, anyone?
is the penny the last 4/5?
just think of my bunny icon as jaunty and it may help her fit in...
no
re + swim the english ***
misshoax, to change tv stations again?
Aussieme -- if you want to write, I have my yahoo email in my profile. later all! *poof*
there is a 5/12 and 6/21 between that one and the last one BGL
re+what separates England and France
Okay, that's what I'm mising... off to look
it's so easy when others tell you the answers! thanks guys.
fish for me on those two - how could I have missed them??
bgl, hint?
were the two words after the ch cook ever clued?
a while back I clued them
ch + baseball player MEL ***
what time nrkii?
and ch + beginning of the gas/fuel words in today's grid
both are ch 5's
okay, I'll take a hint, nrkii
ce + AVE MA***
NOW I remember that clue. I don't know baseball players but I do have the 5/15
5/16
any clues for et 7/36??
okay, C + not cold, double last letter
et+ch5/14
thanks nrkii
How da4 the grid switch directions on me like that
:)
ty musicmom
please, a clue for the last ce4
rhymes with the body parts you walk on
homonym of take a se4
Oh, missed that other e hiding in the corner.
It was already gray, so I forgot about it! :)
ar 6/21. please?
any clues on either of the et 6/21??
anyone kind enough to give a clue for the de8/50 ?
fuels, mamabook
why oh why do I always think I've gotten through a huge list of 42 c words only to discover somehow i've missed one. For me this is the most frustrating aspect of this game
temple, ar + put a crimp in a car fender perhaps
musicmom, I agree
et 6/ a gas.. change middle vowel for other et 6
misshoax, do you have the de 6?
I can't believe I missed the co-fish
de6/24?
de 6 24 is nice, respectable, or properly dressed (as in "are you DE****?"
if I were a de.... person I might offer you a clue
NOW I have all the c words
yup. got that nrkii.
ty nrkii!
drop last letter of de 6/24 and replace with this from popular 80's song: "she's a MA***C, MA***C, on the floor, and she dances like she's never danced before!"
now I have that blasted song stuck in my head
nrkii, excellent clue!
Thanks, nrkii! Great cluing.
HA! now you ALL have that song stuck in your heads! LOL
many thanks. now i have to go find out what it means.
well, that was self-explanatory.
I think I need to go get my leg warmers and ripped t-shirt
and your welders mask!
i learned that one of her body doubles in that movie was actually a male break dancer
9 to go...
okay.I'm going to try to get these kids to do their chores so they will leave me alone<G> Be back in a little while
okay.I'm going to try to get these kids to do their chores so they will leave me alone<G> Be back in a little while
really abe? Interesting
yeah, he had quite the wig! see you later musicmom!
Hello babblers. Does it seem terribly wrong to anyone else that "innards" is not considered a valid word? Or is this a southernism not in general use?
try it again ;)
try it again layne, the site is funky right now
Ooh, thanks Atalante and abe79! My faith is restored!
I knew "innards" was a real word!
anyone looking for the IN 7 ?
LOL
th6?
(blush) Sorry to have paraded a valid word in front of everyone!
love your icon, nrkii!!
walnutchen, that's where I'm stuck too!
thanks une!
nrkii! just monkey type that one. th + 2nd vowel + na4/5 - d.
thanks walnutchen!
th 6 - it's Scots - a feudal lord
hey walnut, are you the person who told me about the FIBs? I've been looking for you to be on babble same time as me so I could say thanks!
thanks walnutchen
and I'm done!
ha! yeah, nrkii! thats me.
sorry - reading ANd typing wrong today!!
Hooray for nrkii!!
glad you enjoy them! I'm usually on babble but not every day cuz sometimes work gets busy...
walnut, I went to the site you told me about, and then followed that path to another where someone is compiling a collection of Fibs to e-publish in the late summer ... I submitted two
YAY! nrkii
Well, it's smaller than yesterday's but still not a short list. How is it treating us today?
Minski, not too bad today -- first 100 - 140 should come easy
how is "dehearse" not a word? We used to dehearse all the time before plays. That's when you goof off back stage and forget your lines and blocking.
nice boreetos :)
then
yay nrkii!
boreetos, it could also mean when they take the coffin out of the vehicle at the cemetery.
whoops. bad start already.
BRAVO nrkii
wow. thats cool nrkii. I'm more shy about my fibs....
ah minski, I thought you were simply drawing out a thought :)
You could also come back to life and step out of the hearse -- dehearse.....
sorry about that
or, you could convert an old funeral car to an everyday car (as I've seen people do), and that would be dehearse as well, right?
that's true, that would be the second usage. "Ok, guys, time to dehearse the car, and then rehearse the ground."
Kind of up there with de judge!
LOL, Erda.
last two fe6/30, please?
i guess, you'd kind of have to park the car in a grave to do that, but you know what i mean.
Hey BGL -- you want your nieces for the summer?
sure, send them up...
I have past tense of craft fabric and a type of fox BGL
bgl, one is when you apply soft fabric to a poker table, the table becomes FE****
I just straightened up all the pillows on the couch. Turned around and Hannah had thrown them back on the floor
bgl, the other sounds like FE + part of your body that connects your head to your shoulders, but double the consonant in the middle
she's 6 give her a break... :)
Thanks, got 'em
Afterall, they can't go swimming. :P
I wish the pool didn't have problems. I had every thought of letting them play in it all day today. Now it looks like it will be at least Sunday before it is ready
LOL exactly!
They do have bikes, basketball, soccer, bubbles, sidewalk chalk -- so why are they in here pestering me?
They also have a huge stack of library books
musicmom, here's what you could be experiencing with a 6 year old girl (courtesy of my niece): replacing the toothpaste with water, adding cream to the sugar bowl to make coffee fixing a one-step process, replacing hair gel with water, drawing pictures on wall and signing her older brother's name...
because the LOVE you!!!
Has anyone found a use for the Q?
nrkii --- I think I would have throttled after the toothpaste.
no q words today.
however the coffee fixing idea makes sense:-)
no layne, no use for q at all
TY, boreetos and nrkii
well, after the mild throttling, she then got really mad...
yeah unless you use liquid creamer.
and scratched her bike many times against side of daddy's car
I keep wanting to make ranque or henque or some such.
(yes, it was liquid creamer)
MM- have them draw pictures to the verses of hymn "Here I Am" and e-mail them to me...
I'm all for down time/unscheduled time for children. BUT today makes me understand the parents who keep them totally engaged in organized activity for the summer
dranque
But I live in a place where French is all around.
layne, i kept trying the same
gross...there's a a reason that creamers aren't all that sweet on their own.
I don't know that one BGL - I'll look up the lyrics on the web
They could take the snakes for a walk
I dranque some tea at the rinque before it sanque.
LOL BGL
lol layne
It's the one that starts, I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry...
LOL Layne....
that's a beautiful hymn, one of my 3 favorites I would say
Unfortunately I have suggested many things --- fun thing down to clean up under the bed things and they still aren't doing anything
I'll be right back. Going to see if it is in our song book
Wearing a minque.
OK, now I'm stopping with that.
layne those are not words. :)
music: you've got to enjoy this time while you can. Soon they'll be too busy to pester you - or worse they'll be old enough to hog the computer and play babble themselves
boreetos, thanque you.
if you hunt , you could go try for an elque
your welquome
im back for more
LOL!!
true jrh402. The real problem today is frustration at the pool not being ready
jrh - they already are... they just like to pester her:) Don't tell her I pay them to pester her! ;)
hi anniebrook
my parents would pay me to pester them...
faerie, are you here?
okay... off to the office to see if I can write a sermon. I'd rather be outside playing. Be back in a mintue or two.
musicmom - I thought you live around here and it's been raining for 2 days. If it's nice there kick them out of the house. They'll find something to do.
c-ya BGL! hello everyone :)
I said that in a nice kind of sarcastic tone of voice by the way.
you know in my day, we didn't have a pool, we had to swim in the gutter like everyone else! And we didn't even have summer, we had winter 2! Snow all the time, and everything was uphill! Even downtown, which was in the valley, was uphill! We wore onions on our belts, cause that was the style at the time! Belt onions and swimming in the gutter!
music: you should make a pool... wear swimsuits in the tub (shower is even better with a little water in the bottom)...or big pots of water in the lawn
I did kick them out Minski - they keep coming back:-)
LOL Bor
<---grew up poor, he made his friends too.
aa5/14 clues anyone?
adn things were cheaper! You get enough candy to throw up off for a nickel!
a NICKEL!
KIDS!!!!! Mine has had a fever for 3 days and is driving me nutty. She's only 17 months old and doesn't have enough language to tell me how she feels so she just keeps whining.
ok, i got to get back to work, I'll see you kids later. :)
jrh - we have a pool. Filled it yesterday only to discover a hole in the bottom. Am letting all the water out today to fix the hole
In my day you could have thrown up for 2 cents
MAN Bor you are a lot older than I thought:-)
Bye, boreetos.
I have no sympathy for my kids because I have spent the past two days playing with them, taking them places, doing stuff. Today they can do their chores and entertain themselves
you have a pool? wow, I bet they're excited. they should play in the mud puddle you're making.
marisun, oohed and AA***
musicmom, sounds like the beginning of summer!
thanks for the aa!
point them in the directionof some mud. kids can always amuse themselves with mud
musicmom, no school today?
Now there is an idea jrh - I bet Hannah would love to play in the mud. I can always hose her down later
They are out of school already? Lucky kids!
thanks nrkii
School got out last Friday Annie. This week we have no scheduled activity. Next week is GS day camp and we will all three be gone all day every day
that sounds like fun to me.
I used to love to play in the mud
We also used to play with the garden hose. We had interesting Miss America pageants on the picnic table
Could I have a clue for the SA 5. I think I am not seeing something here.
Yes, lucky kids, school ended early. Next week will come soon enough. Mud is fun.
oh yes, I "used" to like to play in mud. not any more, ask anyone...
musicmom... maybe a long shot, but do you know of a site that has sheet music (free) for recorder, specifically looking for 4th grade level for Ode to Joy?
garden hoses and garden sprinklers ...
hmmmm Merk - maybe I should focus back on the grid. I don't have that
Between snow days and flood/rain days most of our kids don't get out until the end of June. Some towns have to go into July.
sa 5 10 is a kind of plastic wrap
Cat- I don't. How soon do you need it? I probably have one here I could send you
Did you google that Cat? I'm sure "recorder ode to joy" would produce what you want.
hey cat i know a site...hang on a sec
no hurry...my youngest just learned it right before school got out and is frustrated becuz he can't recall all of it now and wants to play it for me...
nrkii, thank you. you always hit the clues right on
i've googled it and not found what I want
LOL jrh - I still like to play in the mud - should have said i just haven't done it in a long time.
in fact: http://www.musicbyarrangement.co.uk/pd f/ode_rec2.pdf
brand name ... a proper noun? I have got to learn that it does not matter.
Okay, I'm back...
Thanks
hi, BGL
cat2, did you check with the school? they might be able to get it to you
cat --- does he just want the notes in order? Or does he have to read it for you? I can send you the note names
merk, apparently sa 5 is also a generic name -- who knew?
Good idea, nrkii, schools have files and files of music on hand
i'm not sure, he's at summer school right now. maybe.
that "brand name" word has another meaning, which qualifies it to be in the Enable list.
Okay for the next 30 minutes I am going to focus completely on the grid.
Cat--- find out if he wants the letters in order and what note he is starting on. My email address is in my bio
nrkii... they're in summer school session right now, will have to check if music teacher is there.
Sure you are, musicmom...
hiya daisy
I mean when he gets home
LOL BGL ----shhhhhhh don't talk to me
hi nrkii:)
thx musicmom... :) anyone can email me at cat_too@hotmail.com
You are so easily distractable
I'm not listening
hm.. so that link is to the really easy version.
jrh402s ...thx for url...i may check into ordering from there, too. :)
it's the actual sheet music
not an order form
i can help him read it if need be and he needs easy. :)
hmmm...
jrh - my fave cartoon!!! zeebah naybah
are there any aa words?
Hello all...nice puzzle today
hoo hoo Zoki, nice to meet you
uncagain, oohed and aa***

Okay I need one more word.RE6 after the RE9 I'm still noodling

Congrats, MusicMom!
leant
Hello everyone! How many words (am I not going to get) today?
Oops! Sorry.
thanks for that re!
Hooray for musicmom!
hooray for musicmom!!
218 words today
thanks everyone
yesterday was a mind-blower, I was a zombie afterwards....couldn't function...those who could walk away were the lucky ones =)
PHEW! Monkeyed the 9!
Think I'll go watch Grammar Rock and learn my parts of speech
Thanks musicmom...that is a LOT
well done musicmom!
I gave up last night with 18 words left. Just didn't care any more:-)
yay musicmom
I gave up yesterday when I accidentally hit the back button.
couldn't get it to recognie three or four words.
you shouldn't have lost your list parsec
unless you mean lickety's
hmmmmm
it had the list--but it was missing a few words. And if I re-entered them, it would say I already had that one.
yep I've had that happen parsec. Are you using firefox?
rane
fent
shoot, sorry =)
paaarrrrsseeeccccc.......
if you are using firefox there is a fix for that problem that Angelsong explains. It has to do with the setting for scripts to load.
yeah, firefox on a mac.
really musicmom? i have problems with firefox on my mac at home, i'm going to check that out later. thanks!
just a minute. I'll go to the link and tell you exactly where to look
*carefully moves her cursor away from the chatbox*
lol, parsec!
clue for all -- that penny really gets around
you might think she's only in if for the money
too funny, jbp -- excellent pun
i do what i can
don't know that moneypenny would approve tho
Okay --- go to Angelsong's page and use the site index in the upper left corner. Go to the "redesign" page. Scroll down to "fix script error on firefox". Since I did this (it is very easy) I haven't had any trouble with losing my list
but Ian Fleming would
thanks musicmom, i'm going to do that when i get home
Alright -- I'm headed out for a while. need to move my bod.
Hi peeps, trying to go listless today, but am hitting the wall with 17 left. I am missing 2 h's. I have: ha4x6, ha5x4, ha6x3, he4x4, he5x5, he6x3, he7x1, ho4x4, ho5x1. If anyone knows whats missing, I will be handing out coconuts.
hi Dachef...
hi dachef! : )
i think that "thars" should be a word...thars lots of words on this here grid
you are missing one ha5
LOL I agree jbp
esp. with the nautical theme today!
see you later musicmom
aye, me hearties!
bye musicmom
he6 is the other one dachef
okay now I'm really leaving.
i still need the last 2 ch words... after the cook
why do I look like a man? lol
thx musicmom, for all
There are 2 x he7 Dachef
guess I need to figure out how to do an icon
guess I need to figure out how to do an icon
okay, ha5 and he6 - all the ha5's I have are plural? Are they all plurals?
not all Dachef
oops..echo in here
why did you think we thought you look like a man lizethem?
Babble hic ups occasionally lisbeth
that silhouette
I have a ha5/14 that's not plural... builds off ha4/5
lizbethem, an icon is dependant on paying the one time support fee (btw -- you said a word!)
utoh
I have the he7 that is a plural of the he6, and I cant find the ha5 that isnt a plural. Any clues?
bunny rabbits
no worries lizbethem, we all do it
or what bunny rabbits did
who has the most words?
Dachef - do you have the funereal vehicle? If yes pl for another 7.
I only have 48
hey fmitch
Hi abe, good to see you, hows the grid going for you today?
plural the vehicle? but there's only one s?
Hey, Dach4/7!
thx Fmitch and Bostonmermaid - got em!
past tense it
add a consonant at the end, jbp
magic - wtg Dachef.
ah, that one i got.
hoi Abe
Don't pl it, [past tense it, as in the he7 the coffin.
yeh, and Vicuna, guess what, didnt find that till near the end! Doh!
any dh words today?
still looking for ch5/16 and 2 14s
(I mean, they, as in the undertakers, he6 the coffin. Man, I gotta learn to type.)
no dh
any hints for the e in the bottom left corner?
No dh but there is 1 x rh4
ch5/16 is s**** of broken glass - change the s for a c.
the bottom left e+ 3 letter definite article+cons.vowel meaning born
et in the bottom is a gas
got that one dachef
so rehe***** is when you try to get out and they shove you back in?
The e on the bottom corner is a gas. Change the second vowel for another word. Two for the price of one!
That's it, lizbeth! And in the grid today is de, which is when they take the coffin back out at the cemetary.
between swiss tgreans and the past tense of them i need a ch5/14
thanks all... I knew it had to be chemistry related
hmm I have to work on that one Vicuna
hey! dach4/9! youare in the grid today!
lol lizbeth!
jbp - sounds like something you sit on, spelt phonetically.
I think you may be confused, jbp. the past tense is not of the greens, but of the ch5/14 for which you seek.
done
lmg, thanks mitch & vic!
Temple - yeah, and I didnt see that word for ages!! Whats the swiss greens word? Seen clues for that allday, but dont get it!
Yay scraggly!
yay scraggly
swiss greens rhymes w/ not soft
so, now the LAST 2 ch 5 letter words....
How's your children's literature, Dachef? It's one of the things Peter Rabbit ate out of Mr macGregor's garden.
they might call it something different in the UK -- we call it Swiss Ch****, like what doctors keep on patients, but with a different hard const. at the end
if you have the ch4/9 - imagine you have a lisp and pronounce the word again that will give you the 5/16
its okay, Ive got it. And my childrens literature is rubbish. The only literature I was ever interested in as achild was Playboy.
thanks Mitch!!!!
Does anyone have the OC7/32 please?
Well, Peter Rabbit did lose all his clothes in his escape... But perhaps that's not quite the same.
Dachef! You're a hoot!
Hi everyone!
LOL Vicuna!!!!
that leaves the final co 5/14
Hello, Deutsch!
hi deutsch
oc7 is a classy spelling for oc 5/12
minski, make your eight person band all female
plural of co 4/6
what? Peter Rabbit was naked? And you let your kids read this stuff? Last time I was naked in a field I nearly got arrested.
by classy i mean french-ified
oc7/32 is a group of 8
um, last time?
Dachef, I didn't get caught! But I did catch poison ivy.
I heard that recently Disney (I think) decided to crack down on all the cartoon animals that have no pants!
THanks. I didn't think of that ending.
I have sa4x2, sa5x1, se4x2, se5x1, si4x1, si5x1. Missing?
it's about time... everyone else has to wear pants
even me.. especially at the office
Seems so unfair, doesn't it jrh.
deutsch! hi!
lol
missing another se5, I think.
co words... the last few I have...fishes, femail student + plural, co++ d'Azur... need the final 5/14
seran
Damn right too - Donald Duck's been flashing his bits for years and years, and yet Uncle Rodney only did it once and he got 3 years inside!
doh
Hi mab, *bows to the queen of the fairies* how are you?
I'm not chatting anymore. =/
ROFL
luckily that wasn't it =)
Dachef se5/12 - take thw word that parsec just posted anc change the 3rd letter
Well, it's that or you could instead go for no more typing in words, parsec!
how can TECH not be a word??
parsec, it happens to everyone - don't worry :)
think DaVinci jbp
Bostonmermaid, when it comes to the enable dictionary, "ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die!"
I'm lost on the ch 5/6 that fall just after the kitchen boss - the last two ch's. is that what we were just discussing?
it's after that, lizbeth
plural..?
Don't you feel so dumb when you're chatting and inadvertently put the word in the chat box. It happens to me too frequently.
davinci and the words related to it are right before fish
by the way, mermaid, can I assume you're in the Boston area?
can someone give me a clue for the 9 please :)
sure bex! re + swim the english ***
re+what we have a lot of on tv.
I don't even remember what the nine begins with.
meaning to redirect, refocus
Fmitch - I have that se5, is there another? jbp - it looks like that might be the c I am missing!
hi bex -- it is re plus the body of water between you and france.

gramma - use your gut instinct. Really look inside yourself, and you'll find it!
what kind of songs
just minus the last letter
Great clue Dachef!!!
My organs are my personal business! TY.
jbp - how long is the F you were asking about there?
LOL gramma - good to see you!!
Cadfan... are talking about the et7/36 clue?
fi 5/16 and fi4/7
Yes.. the et 7 - I'm jsut not seeing it
cadfan...gregorian *****
yes, what jbp said
jbp, you need 4/7 and 5/16 BEFORE nice then...
song, plainsong, liturgiical music
et+ ending of the name of 10,000 maniacs singer natalie
a lovely little combo.
hmm....I discovered there is NOT a singular for Gramma's word.
no wonder.... it IS an odd word! I was going the choral route....
because the night belongs to lovers...
thanks for that et word jbp!
lickety's list has fi 4/7, 5/16, 4/7 and 6/30
i have the first and last
yes jpb and nice is the second 4/7... never assume you know
Intestines doesn't work! But the other in word does. Thanks...I'm going out for a celebratory ciggie and then I'll come back and visit.

lol
and the fi5/16?
plural?

yes jbp
fi 5/16 is a plural. Fish on standby.

"the owner of a piece of land under scot law
oh so same as feuar
of course!
good to know.
thanks for all the fish!
i still have 39 left....eek
Hitchikers!!!!!
i still need one F, from the sound of it it's an fe...
hurshy: has this come up before?
jbp - do you want some fries to go wth all the fish - and what time can we come round for dinner?
feuar has and i have made an effort to remember it
fi 4/7 (#1) = the price of grain in Scotland fi 5/16 = plural of fi 4/7 fi 4/7 = very good fi 6/30 = past tense of flipper?
i'm sure the fi has too, it's short enough
clue for the do6?
wow, I'm impressed. I have my doubts that I'll ever use it.
like de6 but with o
you'll use it in babble :)
fe: scaredness, past tense, plural, fabric/touched, and past tense, fe+body part under head above shoulders w/ double middle consonant
Who's got the 2 ET6/21s for me?
ah, it was that last one (shocker)
hurshy - ta. How come the words I always miss I know?
i dunno dachef :)
minski, two kinds of gas
was i just talking to her about gas? more so than anything else...
just change second vowel for the other
ugh these stupid C's
The 2 ET6s must be the chemistry ones I heard mentioned before. I'm not a very scientific type of person.
et + what's at the end of your arm, change d to e second one change a to e as well
et+part of body w/ fingers. take off last letter and put in 2nd vowel
then for the other one change the vowel in the middle
et 7/36?
snap jbp!
i am missing a bunch of ha words....
thanks hurshy
THanks for those 2.
et+gregorian *****
yw
i have 2 angry 4 letter i words from the top right corner, anyone have the other 2?
hurshy, like lemon***
E+ ***** Glams, King of Cawdor = 6/21 if you know your shakespeare (ish)
gregorian?
think of a word starting with t that you throw when you are angry
et+song, plainsong, liturgical music
lemonade? throw in the towel? whoosh
look up plainsong on google and i bet you'll find it
same ending hursh
ir+end of citrus drink
Stephie - a wonderful form of choral music that goes back many hundreds of centuries
hurshy, does that mean you got it or it was sooo stupid that you quit?
ok i SERIOUSLY tried that before. but thanks.
i NEVER quit! :)
i could use some ha-help...
So, it was soo stupid!
and the towel was me trying to figure out what jbp was telling me to throw
Hi all -attempting to complete a grid with no interruptions for the 1st time this week. Hope all is well.

HA 5/14 = it's hotter than ha*** in here! HA4/6 singular

I would like to protest... tech should be in the dictionary!
HA 6/24 the old house was Ha****. minus the "U"

Amanda - tech is an abbreviation in the eyes of the Enable dictionary unfortunately!!
dachef...hagma?
Hi Dachef. Amanda - I agree -lots of people I qwas in school with went to tech!
hmm if we've just covered all the HA then my last H is an HE

DE6/24- it would be de**** of us to atleast answer you
jbp, not soft
minski - de6 - modest, or adequate... de 8 starts like that but then ends like the flowers that are not annual, but remove the L
only 4 he5.
minski, de8/50 is a period of 10 years and de6/24 is what you call a nice person, he's a de**** enough fella

My baby has been asleep for more than 3 hours. She never naps this long. Should I go in and check on her or let her sleep? She has had a fever of 101 for 3 days now.
My husband will be home in a minute. We're actually going out tonight!
She's 17 months old.
another sa
theres 3 sa
is it warm in her room?
Minski, you can always check on her,but I'd let her sleep
ooh, who knew plastic wrap would count?
Not particularly 68 degrees. Her monitor has a temp readout.
minski, she's probably recuperating from her fever
minski when did you last speak to the doctor? and what did he/she say? can you call him/her now?
Aaaaaaaargh! Down to last word - its a six, and its a c. Bloody knew this would happen!
my daughter (12 months old) does a long nap every now and then also
from what i understand, infant health is precarious and i wouldn't want you to rely on us instead of her peditrician
C'mon Dachef - you can do it!!!!
do you have trees and people you yield?
I hope so. We are supposed to go to a party on Cape Cod this weekend and my Mother will not be pleased if we have to cancel although she will understand. I am the helpful daughter.
people WHO yield! LOL
I was sick yesterday and I took a 5 hour nap. I got up for a little while and went to bed and slept thru the night.
Une - yup.
hi kids.
boreeeeeeeeeeeeeeetos
do you have the plural of the swiss vegetable?
dachef how many c7's are there?
crazy taco man!
and how is everyone doing today?
I'll give her a few more minutes and then go in and check on her.
I have ce6x3, ch6x6, co6x1 - missing? Hurshy - just 3.
ch6/24- hashish
Thanks guys. I called the doctor this morning and he said if it goes to 5 days come in.
i have two requests. what is the nine letter word? and what is that lone e word in the bottom left?
has any one got a clue for any of the OC words plz?
3! i only have 2 - the one you swim and sang
gramma - ???????
the e in the bottom left is a gas - et6, and the re9 adds one of the c7s i just mentioned in my last post
oc words all mean eight or eightpiece. Try a Frenchisised (good word) ending.
minski, thanks for the o'clues! they rocked!
jakes-mum, we just ran thru them all. If you scroll down you'll find them
yeah gramma clarify, i'm not so up on my drugs
thanks hurshy!
minski, last week my daughter took a 3 hour nap, when she woke up, my husband and i both swore she had grown at least an inch!!
Bor - the e word at the bottom is a gas - change the second vowel of the other et5
minski...my boys used to sleep longer when they had a fever. But pls don't rely on all of us...check with your pediatrician.
9 letter word is DE+what you have lots of on your tv
oooh i better be careful how long i nap
frenchesisers are what a lot of eighties bands used to get the "french" sound.
i wanna nap
Minski - its actually re!
;-)
Yes, Dachef, I grew up in that era
dachef - help with the c7 besides what you swim and sang?
re + there are 1000 ch****** on my tv, and they are all complete rubbish.
boreetos you're slayin' me
I know what it is (quick check mums not watching), but what is the ch word related to it?
oops yes it is Dachef. sorry. mind in a zillion places.
It's a type of hash
oh i am so lost now
minski: I know when I take long naps it's because my blood sugar is messed up. Sleep is a primary time for regulating chemicals
hurshy - think of a cheese, then drop one of the double consnants, and change the last vowel to e.
what's a type of hash?
I like the brown kind, jbp
gramma, we...i mean my friends... never used that word.
a ch 6 word
hurshy, there's a ch that sounds like a cheese. Do you have that 1 ?
does the word you're talking about gramma end in a vowel? If so, I have that one.
FranMag, of course, dear.
it comes in sharp, extra sharp, mild...
lol fran
Nope
thank you for the cheese all :)
tillamook makes this aged variety that takes like two years of curing, and its awesome.
jbp - corned beef and potato is a kind of hash, but I dont think you get the same effect from it if you set fire to it and inhale the smoke.
dachef - what's the c6 that DOES end in a vowel??
Dachef, burn your steak and kiss my ***. Minus 1 s
i think you can only get it at the factory in Oregon.
also, it probably wouldn't be very good in brownies
so I've read
my burned some hash one time. It was terrible. And no, the effects are NOT the same.
lol it's GREAT in brownies!
hurshy - ch6 - african country (ch4) + the first two letter of a word meaning "to tear".
This is hilarious!
Corned beef brownies? Mmmmmm. Sounds interesting.
hi layne!
thanks dachef - and what is the other c7 besides what you have on your tv and sang?
sounds like two pages of the cookbook stuck together
so i'm in seeking the first he 6/24....
Layne, try living it!
Hi, jbp. I just got back on and am finding this some of the most interesting babble talk ever!
Hurshy - plural of the chesy one.
you might make a goal this way in soccer (football) jbp
dude, it rocks
dudette, i mean
ah my i missed that trying to keep up with all the clues
Im still no closer to my ch6!!
i'm missing one 7 now, are there any T7?
i would swear I entered that before hursh...
grrr.
th7 - plural of the th6.
clue on th6?
see it would help if i had th6... :)
don't say pls singular of the th7
hello all, just a note about tillamook chees (my favorite since I'm from Oregon) you can also get it at Costco sometimes
TH7- now and th** . and kiss my British **** 1st 3 letters
yay! 5 to go now!
have you got the 'in charge of a meeting' ch/6 dachef ( and yes, I am here!)
gramma - hashish and kissing ar4. Now thats my kind of gramma!
i still don't get the th one
Well, I've got my 50% complete plus a couple more...chores await...
Mum - wheres your flag gone? And I bet your mum wouldnt know a ch6 word for hashish, would she?
ah, got it, finally ...
thx to clue posters :) ...later babblers
AnM, yeah, they have a lot of types at our Cosco's up here, but I've never seen their black label aged variety. :( Oregon might be different, since you know, its right there, but I haven't seen up here yet.
You bet?????
in charge of a meeting? Confused?
bye cat
Boreetos, well maybe not.....too bad though. You'll have to make a trip to the factory & stock up
dachef i think means homonym of what you sit in
with pl and past tense
My date's here...Gotta run! See you all on the flip 8)
the last he 6/24
the last he 6/24
got that one. still a bit confused on the hashish clue. I was a good boy in my youth (careful, mum's here).
if i gave you a clue i hi6 (not in grid) change i to e
?????????????????????
AnM, i did last summer. My mom lives in Oregon, so it was dual purpose. But cheese only lasts so long, and we go through it pretty quick, what with al lthe sandwiches to be had, and the nachos and the apples... bout time to head south again. :)
thanks hursh!!!!!!!!!!
last he 6 is a past tensified word of the last he4.
Boreetos, maybe the cheese factory will set up a "cheese of the month club" just for you! :)
golly gee how am i ever going to get these last 5 without the list?
I have 6 ch words - there should be 7, correct?
what length, dachef?
6ch6 is what i have too dachef but we both might be missing one. the hashish one is the second one i have, it's a 6/24.
that would be so sweet. I would do it. Luckily my local fred meyer carries all of the tillamook ice cream flavors. And they are BOMBASTIC.
sorry, I have 6xch6 words, there should be 7, I PRESUME?
sorry, hit caps lock.
le 6/21... i have the take me to your le****
yes dachef, 7
7 ch6 words indeed
jbp, made of le4/5, heavy
it would appear that the word I need is indeed the druggy one. Any other clues cos Im stumped.
past tense of what the Tower of Pisa did
dachef lets both list clues for all our ch6's
All the tillamook stuff is great! I do like their pizza cheese curds too! plus it's kind of a fun tour of the factory, what with all the free samples.....I just might have to take a drive this weekend!
okay......
african country plus abbr for ocean state (you gave me that one)
got that one.....
yeah the squeeky cheese is pretty cool. How far out are you from Tillamook?
ch6 linked stuff w/ extra vowel
then a ch5 + an extra vowel...
ch4/6 burn plus ... a simile is a metaphor using like or **
ah that's the one i need dachef and jbp!
then a plural of a ch5......
ch swiss greens
I'm in Salem, so it just takes a few hours to get there
no dachef you need my last clue before that plural
thats the one!!! Fireworks! Hurshy - shall we continue - you need any more?
and *i* am done with 6's, hooray!
i don't need any more 6's but i need one more C somewhere, and an A, and R, and T. i need a CART.
3 of those are 5's and one is a 4.
le5/12 right before loaned
congrats, dachef!
right on. I'm jealous. Cheese is delicious. I strongly reccomend there 2 year aged black label cheddar, its dynamite.
jbp... there are only 2 le5/12...both pls
--[___] o o a cart for hurshy.
well, it's the 2nd one i need, cause i don't have it's signular either apparently
ty boreetos :)
love it, have you tried any Irish cheese? Like Blarney or Dublin? They are lovely, though milder than the aged cheddar would be.
oh it offset my wheels. :P
jbp it's like the actor who played the cowardly lion but change the vowels
yay dachef!!
Well I must go back to actually working, it was nice to "talk cheese" with you Boreetos,
you too Anm. have a nice afternoon.
dachef can you tell me the totals on ce, ch, co?
thanks hurshy...it's a proper name, but oh well. l-)
--[____]
na 4/7?
without wheels entirely. It's a skid then really, not so much a cart...hmmm. I shold back to work.
don't be so gullible, jbp
Could I get a clue for the last ar 4/4?
na5/7 innocent
na4 not na5
i SHOULD GO back to work. I can't spell or type today. that makes for rough babbling.
ce4x3, ce5x4, ce6x3; ch4xx, ch5x8, ch6x6, ch7x3; co4x5, co5x5, co6x1
i'll see you kids later. :) bye!
bye, boreetos!
Arg again. Nevermind, I found it.
sorry, ch4x3
so i am missing a ce4
got it
na4 rhymes with a wa that could be used to describe Kate Moss
i don't get the na 4/7 innocent clue
ok well at least i know the last 3 are all 5 letters long
er...wa4 :)
anorexic?
ghostly thin
jbp it's normally five letters and has a v...
way too thin isn't four letters.
oh yeah im leaving, my bad. :)
haha
is there another ar5 besides pl opera songs and get up?
i really hate how dense i am
still not getting it
hurshy - nope.
ar===butt
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
never mind, it's a 4 sorry'
2 to go!!!
i got a te5/12 and a th5/12, what other t5?
i'm back
mum - how you doing?
definite article + not out, hursh
still don't get the kate moss clue
hurshy, do you have the aa5?
oohed and aa+++
thank you kindly jbp dachef - see where i said ohhhhhhhhhhhhh? that was me finding it :)
now i just need an R5!!! yay!!
na 4/7 and one of the na 5/10 words?
jbp, think of a saying, we take in all wa**s and strays, but change the wa for na.....
r5 lift
jbp - na 4/7 is usually a FIVE letter word with a V in it
thank you aussime
now i get that. i was trying to make the ingenue word start with w and got coonfused....
r 5's: r**** your game, past tense of the ra5, re+ actor ***ny de Vito, r + the number plate of the ghostbusters car.
my pleasure jbp, got my hands free for five minutes, thought i'd come babble for a while with you guys....
fireworks!!! (de Vito one)
YAY hurshy !!!!!
hi aussieme! congratulations, your daughter is beautiful!
yay hurshy!
hooray for Hurshy!!
oh my, yes, aussie's got a baby now, look at that
Thank You fran, I have to agree, but I am biased, being her Mummy and all
congrats Hurshy! Lisless is so much more gratifying. Just wish I had the time (and the patience) to try it more often!
well i appreciate all the support dachef :)
ne 4/7 and the 2 4/4 words following?
i think it will be awhile before i try it sans list
congrats hurshy & Dachef?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Failed the undisturbrd babbling again! The telephone hasn't stopped ringing
jbp - ne like na
i'm listless enough as it is (ah, I crack myself up)
Hello Aussie, I have been waiting to see you here again! How are ou?
Just fine Shutterbug, see my icon for baby picture
Aussie! you had a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!
I was just about to say...... She is SOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!!!!!
thanks hursh!
Aussie...she's adorable:)
I kept asking about you, but knowbody had heard from you.
first ne4/4 repeats itsef
i mean the first one you wanted
first ne4/4 is a hawaiian goose
How old is she now?
TY Wassup, and yep, she's cute Shutterbug, and just like her picture, she's asleep right now. ty also daisy
and the one after that is something you can use to catch fish with a double consonant
second ne4/4 repeats the last consonant, what you catch butterflies with
just got the goose --so to speak. thanks fran & hursh!!
Shutterbug, she's 13 days old, and sleeps like a log for two or three hours, before wanting another feed, which she is due any time soon, so if I disappear, thats where I went to !!
and the ne6/18?
Aussieme, I have been asking for days about the baby. Details please! OK, thank you and so happy everything is all right with you two.
never mind, it stings
Cute! I wish my sister was still that small.
Name?
Babies always sleep a ton at first, but after a while, you cant get them to go to sleep.\
Hey Rumple, 8 pound 7 and a half ounces of pure joy, 18 inches long, with a head of gorgeous dark hair, name is Georgia Grace
oh how pretty!
Wow, big baby. My youngest sister was 8 lbs 12 ounces, and my toungest brother was 9 lbs, 3 onces.
Beautiful, is your address on your profile? I would like to send something. I do machine embroidery. Date of birth?
youngest
she is tiny for her weight, she lost a fair bit after birth, and has only been weighed today, and she is back up to 8lb 5ozs
I know what you mean, Aussie. They always lose weight, but then gain it back.
rumple, address not on profile, but you can email me and I'll give you my address..... my email is amandajane.wheatley@ntlworld.com
re both 5/12s??
wow, those are all big babies, my son was 8lbs. 1.3ozs. He was big compared to the babies in my husband's family. He's filipino, the other babies in the family were barely 7lbs!!
date of birth is 26th May 2006, time of birth is 09:32am
jbp, first one sounds like a prefix for a 4 sided object and the ther is like the se5/12 car, just change first letter
Hey Fran, I was only 6lb 2ozs at birth, and Hubby was only 6lb 1oz, I had gestational diabetes, which made her bigger, so the doctors said
I was only 7 lbs, 3 ounces at birth.
Awwww, tiny then Shutter.... just a cute little bug !!
aussieme, you must have watched what you ate pretty well, someone i knew had gestational diabetes and had a 14 lb. baby!!
I was the smallest in my family so far.
My 5ft, 8 stone sister in law had 2 heavyweights -her 1st daughter was 9lb 71/2 oz and her 2nd was 9lb 14!
I mean I AM
Meaning at birth though.
I watched what I ate so well, I am already back into my pre-pregnancy clothes...... I am chuffed to bits too !!
wow snowy!! i'm speechless
wow, aussieme, very impressive!
good for you aussieme! are you breasfeeding? that helped me after first baby.
My baby sister is only an english size 6 waist, and she has had 2 babies, 6lb4ozs, and 6lb exactly. I couldnt breast feed, she wont latch on, i tried my hardest with her too, but she wouldnt
LOL FranMag -so was she! After the first (natural delivery) she swore she would have NO more babies...11 months later!!! She had a Caesar for the 2nd tho'!
boy, mine sure "latched on"! I'll never forget teh first time she nailed me....OUCH!
i couldn't breastfeed my daughter either, but she's a year old and perfectly healthy and very bright at a year old now.
I had a caesar for my delivery too...... Ouch Daisy, I can only imagine what it feels like.......
hi everyone!
just meeting you, aussie, but congratulations!
thanks for the re-s franmag!

good day! any clues for the ai7, 36 and the ai8?
itsonme, how many wors do you have so far?
i have 43
itsonme -- have you seen Angelsongs' REsource Pages? there is a link in the "friends of babble" section at the bottom of this page. She has lots of good info and ideas.
I know the feeling itsonme! If you want a hint list its in the licketys link at the bottom of the page

Thats not bad for a beginner. I believe that there are 218 total words in this grid.
hi shirin
oh no! that sucks. i have molly again. trying to babble onehanded, with a broken enter key. she broke it yesterday
sorry, 218
total words

anyone going to the world cup??
oh wassup -my grandaughter is called molly too -She's mollybeth in full tho
must go, BBL (I hope)
bye swbo -good to see you again
itsonme, make sure that you click back into the "Add word" box before you type your words in
how about the an6,18 and an7?
bye..
that's a sweet name. this is molly catherine. she's the one in my icon. she's currently eating a rubber duckie
later smbo!
yeah...I have noticed my mistakes :P
oh! bert!
my icon is a rubber duckie
she's grogeous -had a closer look earlier -our molly is 5 now
try gorgeous!
so if you put wassup and ping's icons together, you get a picture of what's going on in my living room right now
LOL wassup!
haha! that's awesome
i can almost see it....
haha
molly is darling - i like that name too
she's actually my niece snowy. i have been taking care of her alot lately as her mother, my sister just had ANOTHER baby 2 weeks ago. they're only 10 1/2 months apart
Oh my, that is REALLY REALLY close together.
yup.
this is kind of practice for what it would be if i have another one. mine are 4 & 5. they're good helpers for the most part
we take care of our grandchildren a lot - we had 5 here for breakfast this morning! Great fun - but stressful!
ashley, homer is so funny in his mask
shirin: an6/18 is the plural of an5/10
Well, in my family there are 10 kids
holy cow! that's a lot of kids in one house. i'm exhausted from this
so, 5 is easy.
an the an7/32 is the past tense
brb
only 9 kids live in thes house now though.
sorry I took so long with the clue - I actually did some work!
how is this scrabble?
thank you!
This is not scrabble, this is BABBLE.
Wow shutterbug- what fun! My friend is one of 9 too.
I know, but it says a mix of scrabble and boggle, it seems just boggle
anyone can play scrabble, but babble is for the truly blessed
I am a kid, I am one of 5
where does it say that?
I am a kid too
Fireworks at last - hope the next grid is well under 200
LOL jrh! Never a truer sentiment!
Congrats spellit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on google search
snowy: we'll be holding services later. bring a friend
YAY spellit!
and money
Maybe because of the point system.
Cheers!
jrh, I am monkeytyped out. What is the an 5/10 I should be looking for to take advantage of your 6 and 7 clues?
itsonme: babble assigns a point value to each letter, so if you use a less popular letter, you get more points
okay...I think I cant find anymore if I tried too...but I will still try, Practice makes perfect!
just like in scarbble
There are a few babble songs on Babblers anonymous maybe we should sing some! In the old days we used to have celebrational , virtual cocktails & jacuzzis when some one finished!
oooh
molly's having a bottle-cranky pants
haha
hi benda! when did you pop in?
there is a scarbble?
thats the spirit itsonme!
In boggle, you only get points for how long your word is. in babble, it is a mix of the point value of the letters and the length of the word
stid: the opposite of afar :)
jrh, pass the fish please, that was in the grid yesterday! thanks.
just now stid :) my computer cord has been broken for EVER, and i just got a new one in the mail. YAY!
can we have cocktails anyway?
itsonme, I think she meant scrabble.
so glad you are back! I have missed your "retiring personality"...
I am going to eat some chocolate raisins in your honor, Benda!
yeah I have noticed a lot of my words were short, yet I still have a good amount of points
vodka tonic for me
gimmie some!
oops...i'm a nortoriously sloppy typer when i've been drinking cocktails! oops! but scarble sounds tempting...
froelica, can i get you one?
*passes bag of raisins around*
Do any of you do the online boggle (I'm the lurker mirandapan who takes advantage of all your clues, but seldom says a word--do enjoy your conversations tho')
yes ma'am!! it'll ease my pain!
haha....i'll eat a raisin for such a toast
If you'd like we can wassup! My favourite drink is vodka/tonic too!
Im going to get some salad or a hot dog.
(perks up) vodka tonic & chocolate raisins???? mmmmm
hey! I have a profile
hi mich! didn't see you there! just FYI Aussieme was here earlier and she and the baby are doing well.
um... not HERE here -- Babble here...
vt's all around! except for any minors...don't want to encourage underage drinking...well what the heck, vt's all around!
excellent news!
OOH we haven't had a party for AGES!!!!!!!! CHampagne anyone! We had a fountain & afood fight once too!-
except I appear to be from bhutan....
I knew what you meant, stid
jrh! so you do! Bhutan? are you on the frappr.com/babble map yet?
Hi all. Just joined you. Stid are you still looking for an5/10?
where are you really from?
Missouri
(i'm drinking vodka + cranberry...i'm sure it has a name, but i don't know what it is...) i'll be going to 'screen on the green' soon, an event that takes place each week in June, where they show movies in the park. This week is 'The Wiz" wheeeee....i'll be brining a bottle of shiraz to share with my friends, but getting an early start
you usd to personally encourage this formerly underage minor to drink :)
thanks hetty, I did get it, thanks to jrh! How was the libarry today?
oh yeah...:)
hi hetty - join the party -we're hAVING A VIRTUAL DRINK AT THE MOMENT -ANY REQUESTS?
Sorry -did not intend to shout!
sounds like fun bendamalina
mmm, good vt. i'm thinking a black russian for my next
but now we are responsible, and have appropriate beverages for all --- I think we should offer itsonme something non-alcoholic... and I'll have a virgin daiquiri, they're my fav
WHY NOT!!! it's a party, after all, getting all crazy up in here
shiraz is my personal favorite wine
I have popcorn!
up in here, up in here...y'all gonna make me act a fool
benda - sound lovely!
yeah, it's lots of fun with friends...some people bring really elaborate picnics, with cheese and salads and grills.
since when is "tech" not a word? my Tom is a "tech" extraordinaire!
how do you get friends
I'm going to get something to eat now.
Lots of people asking what to read. I love talking about books. There's one chap keeps trying to catch me out on poetry--today it was Browning's Andrea del Sarto (" aman's treach shold exceed his grasp/ Or what's a heaven for?" lovely stuff to talk abou Where are younin the a's? have them all
shirley temples for the young'uns!
Yeah, I thought tech was one and I got very annoyed
the movie in the park does sound nice! We have something similar around here but only once a month in the town.
I'm stuck however in the ch's
Back to finish the grid - 39 more to find before bedtime
I picked up a Rabelais (sp?) in translation while I was at the doctor's today -- the volunteers have a "do it yourself" booksale. Never read it but always wanted to.
I went to a cocktail baby shower last Sat. there were "hot mama" drinks (with) and "cool mama" drinks without, and all were quite delicious....lots of tropical juices & a real bartender / party thrower
bend: I don't know what a vodka and cranberry is called, but add a lime squeeze and it's a cape codder.
go amanda go!
Hetty - I love to read -but am only reading light at the mo' -too much else going on to do anything heavy, justice.
well, one of the perks of living in an urban environment, i guess. It's a trade off for having to battle horendous traffic (we're not enlightened enough to have decent public transport) and smoggy air.
can someone give me a hint
mmm, that sounds good jrh. perhaps i need to go somewhere tonight. too bad froelica's sick... sad.
where are you benda?
For what piglover?
piglover: of course
ooo...i'll have to add some lime then, jhr. that souhnds delish, my dear! but all i have is lemons. I suppose i can improvise
I'm in atlanta
I have been listless so far today Hetty, but now fewer than 80 words so about to grab Lickety's list... brb
ar6,21?
can someone give me a hint
I am stilllll stuck, I found like 5 more words though, with the help of my brother
mich, that sounds like the best baby shower ever!
i know!! i had one glass of wine yesterday and it burned my sick thraot. now that pissed me off!!
I am in USA
there are a lot of long chs!
I love a capecodder
what do you need help with piglover?
hah, i have 80 words right now, stid...so i guess i'm your opposite!
sadly, I must go
hmmm....is it pi glover, or pig lover?
have a nice evening!
shutterbug, curious...how old are you? you said you're a kid, but very well spoken.
wouldn't it be funny if we had the opposite of what we have -- if we could just share lists and be done!
lean
later jrh, thanks for all the help.
13
*the questions one thinks of when drinking a cocktail and playing word games!*
bye jrh
That would be awesome, stid!
I have 65 left and am feeling like being STRONG and not finishing, but have cocktails (virtually) instead -- yesterday's was mindblowing
I am a kid
jrh, come back soooon
shutterbug -- no more personal info like that. My children play on here sometimes too -- and I chide them for revealing their exact age or location. Remember that you don't know wassup (or any of us) for real.
so the same advice to you itsonme!
I didn't finish yesterdays but did a 400 plus one last year!
gotcha
But I dont give out me name or where I live or anything like that.
you sound older shutter. that's a compliment when you're 13, not so much as you get older.
snowly, that deserves a toast -- to Snowy and the 400+ grid!!!!
Snowyowl, my greeting to you got swallowed up somehow. I told you reading was only one way of enlarging our experience and there are many others
yesterday's was brutal. I finished only because I had injured my back and was stuck sitting on ice more than 8 hours. (better today)
--some almost as effective!
TY TY! LOL It was a marathon -Where did a those days when I had time go?
we all deserve a toast! *yo ho. yo ho. a pirate's life for meeee*
i gtg.
i'm not a creep though. :)
me too, god bye.
See you all later
that was before you had 5 grandchildren taking over your house snowyowl!
See you all later
nice to meet you itsonme. see you again sometime
by itsonme & shutterbug -it was nice to meet you
see ya, itsonme & shutter
no wassup, you are not a creep. You are a delightful person (as am I) but kids don't know the difference.
bye shutterbug, later
hi hetty! i'm lurking hopelessly (only 91 words) but i do have a few ch words and would like a clue for the aa one...
Anybody got the first ec6/27 - 7/40 combo? I'm assuming it's a combo, anyway...
Please can someone clue me for ch5/14 (the last one)
i don't see the harm in asking age, but i agree about name and location. lots of freaks out there. my biggest fear for my own kids
go Jill go! Hetty -- I just found the aa all by myself!
and may I add to stid's advice -- we don't know who's "lurking" out there, taking advantage.
I've still got 112 to go - I'm just so slow theese days!
and i'm not offended. hard to show inflection through chat.
jilli, the aa clue is past tense of what you did when you said AH!
hetty - that ch5/14 is a silly word - never heard of it. Sounds like Sir Walter....
I try to get the kids not to give their ages because their screen names are so close to their real names. And because I have caught myself saying "little" things at different times that add up to a whole lot of info!
hetty, ch + round vowel + double crosses
the ec's start w/ ec 4/6 -- to reverberate
amanda. 'lll try it
neat clue amandacath - you got there way before me!
I'm back with my salad. going to list on ebay so I wont be here too much.
thanks libarebel - but those are further down. There are two right at the top of the ec's.
i guess it's hard to be so discreet when i know i'm not out for the wrong reasons. you know what i mean?
and it workd. What kind of a word is that anyway?
hetty -- can you help me with the ar 6/21 please?
don't have those :)
ty, hetty and stid
stid, I know a contractor who's wife started doing radio news on a station I listen to, and she was telling "everyone" all sorts of things about her daughter, including name, age, where they went.... I mentioned to her husband that she should be circumspect -- she never mentioned her husband's name!
Dunno. Someone clued it earlier with ch + some baseball player (who I unfortuntely didn't know, but I was able to monkey it from there)
Stid, when someone is passsionate about something they are ar****
mich, that was so helpful
I know EXACTLY what you mean wassup! and I tend to be one of the trusting types, so I am in a double bind, wanting to be friendly without being too stupid about it.
ar 6/21 ar+the beginning of the guy who looks after teeth
exactly. :)
ar6/21 I just clued--an adjctive (means bnurning) used of hope, love etc
yw, hetty
jilli was way easier to follow!
It's so easy when everyone is so friendly too.
mich, yes. that is the sort of thing I tend to do. I have a blog that I maintain that gives a lot of info like that. I want to go in and purge some of the things so it's less dangerous and then I will add it to the blogs at Angelsong's.
thanks hetty and Annie.
ty hetty & jilli
any clues for the ch7s?
now for ch6/27 and ch7/40?
past tense of ch 5/14 gregorian ch***
i cant believe chode isnt a real word
ch7--some people swim the English Ch*****
I have on ch7 - a body of water -eg the English ch*****
when I want to meet with someone I have "met" online I always try to find a safe, public place and I make sure people know where I am and when I expect to be home... one of my best friends came arose that way. And I don't release my real name or personal email until I am pretty sure about someone. I use Yahoo for contacts I make here for example.
chant
hetty, you're probably looking for the misspelt cheese
ch7/40 is the past of 5/14
thanks arbermack
shiri, of the2 ch7's I have, one is what you get (and switch) on telly; the other is past tense of what monks do--specially Gregorian ones
i don't think i'd ever meet anyone from online. i know we talk about getting together sometime, but i think i'd panic
OR..there's another ch 7/40 -- "salut!" with a d in the middle.
i guess there are a few from here that i'd be comfortable with
thanks all for the clues, those were great
Ithink I have that, jilkli (see monk clue)
I am a very socially anxious person myself. I am only perky and outgoing here _- it's a nice experience!
wow, stidmama. I would have never guessed that.
does anyone have the first ch6/27
salut with a d? I can't use a double ee-
But, I guess it is easier to communicate like this sometimes.
i'm totally social in real life, but i'm just not sure how all of this would pan out in person... you know? and i wouldn't have expected that either stid
Do you do better in smaller groups too?
I did meet a not-too-distant cousin a couple years ago online, her branch of the family had moved away and stopped writing 60 years ago. We found each other through rootsweb's family trees.
there's to be a British Babble Convention next week in London. I can't be there -This is the only place I've ever chatted online- I just 'lurked' for ages & then joined in. My best friend told meabout this site. She doesn't get to play much now tho'
so i put the consonant between the 2 e's and lo and behold! Clever Jilly
I do really well speaking in front of groups, and talking with one or two others... more than ten people in social situations terrify me.
no, hetty, it's not the monk and not the TV, in fact the dictionary doesn't know it. it's the plural of the 6/27 in front of it.
that's pretty neat. Another positive from the internet
and I found the pl on autopilot. Ta
I've never chatted anywhere else, either. I tried online dating -- NOT a great experience, but ended up being good friends with a cribbage player who's now engaged to a woman who thinks we're two peas in a pod, cause we both went to Seven Sisters colleges
pab- the first ch6/27 is (I think) the pl of taliban-approved outerwear
Im the same way, stid. I used to beat myself up over it since most my family members are extroverts. But, it has just been recent that I accepted myself for being so shy. I took a personality test in grad school and I realized a lot about myself
this is the only "chat" thingy I have ever participated in... but it is really nice.
mich, i have a few friends who've tried the online dating. no good experiences there either.
thanks amandacath, i don't know how i got it but i did
I bet if we polled, a lot of us would be I's (myers briggs, me = INFJ)
yw - wouldn't have gotten it myself without Sprite's help earlier
my myers-briggs has been consistently inst/j for the last 20 years. I am almost exclusively I, and split 50/50 on the T/J
i don't even know what that is.
I am a INFJ
I guess we share two traits
LOL mich! - I've had real fun here & miss it if I can't play. I'm very noisy & extrovert but was not very good at joining in until I started to help in a Brownie Guide group. Now I'm noisier than ever & not too afraid to stand up & be counted
explain please, stid and shirin
myers-briggs is a personality "preference" tool that examines a person's basic instincts in four key areas. the first area is "introvert/extrovert" and it has more to do with how one enjoys getting information and interacting than really with shy/outgoing though there is some correlation
thanks, stid
I was typing the same thing stid
ok, i'll have to find out what i am
There are some pretty decent online tests for people who are just curious. They have been accurate for me.
you can get a shorter version on the web wassup. Just google myers briggs
ha6/21 anyone?
great minds -- maybe we share more than just those two traits?
ok, will do. bbl
later wassup.
bye wassup
it's a very revealing test -- and one that can change over time, that measures Introvert/Extrovert, iNtuition/Sensation, Thinking/ Feeling, Judgemental/Perceiving
the ha 6/21 that I have is a past tense of the ha 4/5 that looks like to "spook" a mansion without the U
I am an INFJ as well
going to google myers-briggs.
cool, cruella
stid, that's a 6/24
It's helped me be less judgmental about how other people "work" -- those P's bug me, but not the way they used to (being quite J, myself)
mich -- thanks. I always get the letters out of order. I am NOT a "T" I am INFJ/P ...
so it is pabtrek! *looking for the 6/21*
hi everybody!
so you, me, shirin and cruella are all INFJ's more or less, goes to show ya, this game is great for our types, LOL
hi Fran!
wow, three babblers with the same traits.
yep, the only ha i don't have
Hi Fran!
4 of us
I wonder if anyone else has the same traits
me too, pab
okay, the sun is peeking out its happy face. Going to zip outside for quality tug-ball time with my galoot. back soon.
I need some ch 6/27s. I have the plural of the swiss veggie, and the meaningless cheese homophone.
explains why we are such warm chatters, but not great at groups of strangers....
have fun stid
think plural
true mich
and past tense
jill, there's another 6/27 that sounds like the vegetable, add an e before the end
later, stid, enjoy the sun! I think I'll bow out as well, may be back to finish before the flip..... may not!
later stid!
ty, franmag
Ah! found it! Like the thing on a pot or a cup spelled wrong (the ha6/51)
another 6/27, the ch4/7 (country) + first two letters of a way to say correct
later mich!
thanks amanda
bye all who are leaving - I went to see too & am ESFP apparently!
ty again, franmag, and i see neither of those has any dictionary meaning - there's a lot of that going around
glad to help - I'll be desperately begging for clues in a minute
a way to say correct???
cadfan - not wrong - but **ght
never mind - I got it...
LOL, Thanks Deb.
hello everyone
aaris
hey cadfan!
Hola chica!
hi crazy
are you new here?
Thouhg you were going Pro?
hi crazy
hi crazy
yes first time
Welcome, nice to meet you.
did... just need a new look... where to find?
Where did you here of babble?
just playing game
i wanted to give it a try
Update in "My Account"
it is very addicting
ok, stid are you still there?
shutter - i just heard about it a few weeks ago on yahoo - i wish i'd known about it sooner
wassup -she left but says she is coming back
Welcome to you too then.
I'll check ya from home Calmunid - leaving here now
oh, thanks snowy. i just did my the myers brigg thing. i'm an E.
me too wassup ESFP!
i'm ENFJ. I haven't looked into what the nfj mean
can anyone clue the early ec 6, 27 or ec 7,40 -- the ones NOT having to do with reverberating
ISTJ for me. I must have lied on a few questions because that sure ain't me they're talking about.....
i'm infj
interesting! snowy and wassup are complete opposites from us. There goes the theory of the INFJs personality being linked to babble
deb, ec + swiss lettuce
ooo I'm desperate for those too, debb! somebody clue the woman!
how does one find the myers brigg thing, please?
you are an I? I'm surprised ashley
sometimes that can happen brandy. If you ever get a chance, take the long version
Brandyjack -you have been missed - I went back & rethought mine! LOL shirin it's just the old love of words then!
google it, jilli
correction, e+swiss lettuce
haha brandyjack.
yeah, i'm an extrovert with people i'm really close to, but otherwise a total pansy when it comes to people
yay - thanks pab -- amanda we've been hooked up
ty annie
ty, pabtrek! :D
brandyjack! good to see you! are you okay? I have missed your clues page.
that's funny, i didn't know that!
yw, deb, lib
Fabulous! electric lettuce - who woulda thought...
TY pabtrek
I just got back inside wassup -- the dogs and I went through the woods in the back and found a bucket I was missing. totally useless now... Kids!
hehe..... i've got everyon fooled (rubs hands, with evil grin on face)
ttfn cadfan...
rane
where did you guys take that personality test?
I'm fine. just saw no point to updatng that thing. AngelSong and lickety have excellent pages. Mine seemed somewhat redundant.........
NF: iNtuitive Feeling (how you make decisions and what you use feeling or thought)
Stidmama, I think myers briggs got me correctly. ISTJ. If that means I'm shy, they are right. But I love words and Babble.!!!
people can, once they know what their preferences are, use them to their advantages and work on strenthening areas they might need but not have a lot of comfort in.
i just had most of a bag of oyster crackers dumped down the back of my pants. my son was fighting with my daughter over the bag and it ripped and they went straight down the back of my pants while i was sitting on the couch. i'm gonna kill someone.
It's odd how we react to questions when given a choice. I always felt my reading glasses were wrong & didn't like to say 'I don't know' when they asked a particular question. It didn't seem to be a proper answer!
note that I am not a counselor or psychologist, just a geekly type who enjoys statistics...
I had to work on being more extroverted. I can do it, but I am drained afterwards
wassup, make sure you hide the bodies well
wassup, in six years it'll be funny -- just remember...
where did you come across the myers, stid?
hah!
brandy - I like your stats -they print much more neatly some how!
i'm already laughing. i yelled a few choice words and then started to laugh
yes. I am only extroverted when it comes to plants. I will accost total strangers on the street and demand to know the name, rank and serial number of any plants they are carrying!
wassup, there you go!
brandy - i'm a lurker not a chatter, but I really miss your clue page!!
fran, i'm a pro at this...
that is funny, stid
hey poops..
hpyhrted - I'll second that!
that's cute, stid
I took a business management course in college... guess what: INFP are NOT inclined to big business occupations! LOL so I went into clerical stuff when I graduated. much more my speed.
hehe...
stid, the link i found for the myers-briggs cost $36, is there another link that you all are using?
there is one I found a while ago... just a sec. *poof*
fran, google it
lol wassup! we won't tell when they come looking for your known associates! ;-)
FranMag google & use the 1st link offered
fran, that's funny. i just realized my dad's name on here is jimmythefish. it's the gangster name my hubby gave him
i love he way your kids think of me 1) the udda ashley 2) the ashley who puts her hair in her mouth and 3) the ashley who goes like this (motions the ewww.. thing i do)
ok, last two th's anyone? th6/21 and 7/32
i just did the ewww thing...
wassup, jimmythefish sounds like someone I would know at the Fulton Fish Market in New York
heheheh
yeah, when he gets on here, he announces "the fish is in the room" you'll crack up now when you see him sometime
I think I have used the Keirsey Temperament Sorter in the past. It is based on the Myers Briggs and has 70 questions and is free for the basic info.
http://www.advisorteam.com/temperament _sorter/
am i still the #3 one?
yeah, until they come up with something new.
(pops back in for 1/2 a mo) stid, that's where I've taken it most recently
so jimmythefish is your dad, good to know. for fun.
yep, and sueq is my mom
i gotta think of something new and weird for them to emulate
so this is a family affair. wonderful!
oh - family babbling, thats good!
i am her "sister in law" equivalent
my daughter started me on this.
(now off to West Linn to support a friend's office warming)
hi froelica
myelooo
by mich - nice meeting you
have a good time, mich
yep, if my brother ever gets half a brain, he'll make an honest woman out of froelica
well.. i'll never be an HONEST woman!!
I just took the Keirsey one again, and it only gives the middle two letters for free... but it's still right on. :-)
well thats true... :)
Well, I hope your brother gets half a brain soon, wassup, froelica's too good to let go!
Stid...finally off the phone! first my mother, then Megan called.
later mich!
LOL Girls -it's great to have a good relationship with your siblings partners- my husband is one of 4 and we all get on well
hehe thanks!!!
that's what i keep telling him. he knows it, he's just a silly boy. :)
we're pretty much married for all intensive puposes anyways
I am too introverted to be comfortable around Tom's remaining three siblings... they are all extroverts -- outgoing, busy, interested, busy, active, busy... I get quickly overwhelmed.
true
Yay - virtual fireworks for me. And beddy-bye time. Have fun all!
okay, I have 71 to go and really need to hit the grid!
congrats amandacath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
YAY amandacath! see you tomorrow!
yay amanda!!!
me too stid. 93 to go.
yay amanda!!!!
stid - why has your little person got green shoulders instead of pink?
so I'll pop up for air periodically... *turns invisible*
Jill -- because I don't like the pink Dr. God chose and on my computer it looks violet. but Green is good too ;-)
gotta go take my son to karate, see you all later!
bye shirin
bye shirin
I just "deselected" female in my profile...
bye shirin
later shirin!
didn't know you could choose your shoulder-colour. green IS good.
no, you really can't. If you say you're a man, you're blue. If you say you're a woman, you're pink. If you don't answer the question... you're gray.
o, i c.
can someone clue the re 9 -- especially the last part of it
the last part of the re 9 is ch 7/36
debbinia, to direct your activities in another way
finally - thanks jillibus and anniebrook!!

wow wren - simply gorgeous pic !
Yes, Snowy. I'm looking forward to meeting some fellow Babblers.
just hit 100 words.
I just took the test, i'm INTJ, a mastermind rational
go Jillibus go!
I talked to Dr. G's motjer and he's getting t-shirts made (hopefully). I was hoping to bring some with me when I come, but they probably won't be ready.
i'm jealous, i wanna meet babblers
artlady - where in the chicago area do youlive?
How ar eyou evanonut -I don't seem to get here at the same times any more.
Hi artlady. Long time, no see. Babble T-shirts? Great idea!
northwest of the city in the burbs
yep, they're here and I'm gone. Later all!
Yay arty! That's so wonderful! I do wish snowy could get there, although I know how very busy your life is.
later stid!
ooh Tshirts! GRet
Fran, I am not at all surprised! LOL see you later.
snowy - had a brief communication with lola the other day - she's got a new job and been busy with stuff, plus working on getting british citizenship. she said she'll be back around more when things settle into a new routine.
anyone have a clue for the ce5/12?
'nut, it started when I mentioned I was going to be in London for a few days. Babbler took over and set up the whole "convention" thing.
wish we could get one going here
chat is going fast - i am jealous too, artlady, have a great time! i wanna come with !
i'd volunteer to organize, but i'm just way too busy at the moment.
you can all come to Hawaii!
oh hurshy, so glad you showed up! wondered if you had heard from noblelover yet and if you knew that Aussieme is okay? she was on earlier with her icon of her darling baby.
I have no chance! It would be nice to see Lola more -we were talking about the jacuzzi & cocktails earlier - I miss Anjs nonsense too!
helen, I'm in Buffalo Grove. Where in the area are you?
Now that's a trip i'd make... :)
Hi hurshy!
yes i saw aussie with the baby icon and i have NOT heard from noblelover in ages, he must be caught up in other games.
Fran, that's a great idea...I've never been there.
aussieme had her baby? i didn't hear, she's ok then?
okay, no big. someone mentioned cheese earlier today, and I thought immediately of him! :-) okay, really going now...
She's fine helen
hi artlady :) yes the cheese for ch6/7 combo :)
Well anyone who gets to the london one PLEASE post some photos -I hope you all have a good time
helen, if you go to the complete log you can see a pic of her baby
art, yeah, i asked because i live on the northwest side of the city - near harlem & irving
just popping in for a mo, i have to go fix a door now :)
bye hurshy - see you tomorow
hi, helen, et al! speaking of harlem...
later hursh
is the qu used at all here?
hi libarebel!
thx shutter, fran for the baby/mom updates
hiya lib! yes?
don't think so jilli, i have 10 to go and nothing so far
bye hurshy
hi, fran! :D
go franmag!
Snowy, I'll be taking lots of pics. Just bought 2 512M memory cards for my camera. Half the price for one 1G memory card! Wierd.
helen, there are a few of us in the area who play. There's someone from Mundelein (can't remember who).
my icon is harlem boy's choir :)
LOL lib !! - i mentioned i was beat when i logged on, thx for pointing that out to me!
s'ok-- anchors aweigh!
the qu is never used
um, *way*-- I'm beat too!
yeah art, ls1 is pratically my neighbor, lol, she just lives down harlem ave., in oak park, we even visit the same dog park - i'm really looking forward to bumping into her! & leslieann lives in lisle
same as last time for the q - thx, i'll ignore it
Thanyou Artlady - & TY brandyjack if you are still there!
art, i know who it is in mundelein, but i can't for the life of me think of her name (her mom babbles too) - i'm really in the slow group today!
Well, I don't have time to try to finish this one, so I'm not going to start. Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Maybe tomorrow! Take care all, and good babbling.
bye artlady!
nice to chat with you artlady!
yes, helen, and I think her mom is down south. ah well, the price of age...
i need a to 4/5 - have the foot appendages
Artlady - have aWONERFUL trip!
WONDERFUL even!
th 6/21 please?
jill, the first to4/5 sounds like plural of a man's name, common crossword clue
thx again franmag - you rock
lol art- that's why i make notes all the time, now it's just a question of where i put them :)
jeffer, add an ending to the th4/5, to be, first two letters
why thank you jilli!
anyone have the last CE 5 and 6 and the last two CHs?
lib - when you did that, i looked to see if weigh was in the grid - i have 167 words in, you would think i would remember if there were a 'w' in there, huh?!?! i need a nap!
Wow! This works soooo much better in internet explorer than firefox
ty FranMag
yw jeffer
fran for ch think cook, and chess with a lisp
thanks pabtrek!
yw
ty pabtrek - lovely clues
anede
pabtrek - whenever i see your name, i immediately think of alex trebec, i think that's soooo weird
I'm stuck in the H's. I've got the ha 6/24, then the ha 4/6. I'm trying to figure out the ha 6/21 inbetween them. Can someone give me some clues?
sorry
that's okay helenkeller, i'm a big fan of alex trebec
Howdy, y'all!
hi Jen
hi jen!
boatierra, clued earlier something a pot or cup has spelled wrong
pab - yes, i like him too, but not that much - to be seeing his name in yours, lol
mine is from initials and i'm a star trek fan
pabtrek - I don't get it.
Got it! Just took some figureing. Thanks!!
took me a while too, boatierra
But I don't get it.
love the cap, fran
lol, i'm a star trek fan too, but i don't think of captain picard when i see your name
thank you jen, i see you went the choir route
yes, this is actually a chorus i sing in :)
in which I sing, I mean
that's cool jen !
that was going to be my next question jen. i think there a lot of musical people that babble.
clue for en6/21 anyone?
I think you're right. My chorus is a part of Sweet Adelines Intl, which is women's barbershop singing -- so much fun!
an 5/10?
evening!
a + not far helen
hiya feather !
hi featherbee!
ty fran :)
don't have the en 6/21, yet
yw helen
i don't have it fran, sorry
hello all! did the grid a little bit this morning, only 35 words into it so far. i feel fresh, hopefully no big fish like last night!
thanks jen and helen, i'll keep trying to get it then
any hints for the final CH 5/14?
FranMag, en+ necessary, best clue i can think of
i got the en6/21 if you all need a clue
that would be great, fran
yes please fran
katmayo, think sir walter ch5/14
pabtrek gave a clue, here's another, en + a word that sounds like something necessary
it's the necessary thing wot has me stumped
katmayo, ch+mel *** (hockey player?) it's always in crossword puzzles
jilli, hierarchy of ****s from psychology
got it from the hockey player fran, thx
I skipped most of my psych lectures back in 1946 ;^)
we don't have hockey over here :p
thanks for the clues, but I'm still clueless re: the CH 5/14
katmayo, ch+opp of in, but drop the middle letter and double the last
Kat you have the one to do with links in a C.... ?
Ch 5/14 rhymes with sir walter's last name, or beam me up ****** without the last letter
never heard that worh before Fran
the CH 5/14 is the very last word I have to find. Drawing a blank, tried typing all sorts of combinations...except the correct one I guess.
last fe6/30 anyone? i have the groping one
ch + 4th vowel + cross letter 2x
Finally figured it out---I was using the wrong H. The beam me up clue did it. Thanks all. Can I offer anyone a clue?
yay katmayo!!
Yippee katmayo!
the last FE 6/30--like an anise flavored veggie with a different last consonant. (the points will lead the way)
ai 7/36 and 8/50 would help here pls
jilli, ai7/36 is a girl with nothing upstairs
ai8/50 is the plural
If you have the ai8, remove the last letter. If you need for the 7 and 8...It's what we breath, and what is on your shoulders.
chuckle - oviously describing me right now!
No, jill I dont think fran meant it that way at all. it could just as well be a man.
how about the 1st ar 4/4
thanks kat, i swear i tried that !!
thanks katmayo
jilli, ar4/4 is the god of war
yes, of course.
or plural of a form of to be
I want you all to know I have personal and extensive knowledge of jilil and an ai***** she definitely IS NOT
rearrange the letters of the final AR4/4
Jen, why don't you check out the website of my choir, http://www.btinternet.com/~stacey/blch oir/ . I googled Seet Adelines International, and they are all over the world!
But the first ai4 is something you shouldn' be putting on, jilli
ta, hetty :D
that's good hetty! i hope you didn't take my clue personally jilli!
hi hetty!
Hi Franmag. Long time since we spoke:how's things?
oh my goodness no, fran. i just felt like one, missing that word!
thanks for the clues all...
well I'm reluctantly giving up on this grid -I'm much too slow these days! Sweet dreams all -it's 12.50 here & I have to be up at 8.00
i'm fine hetty! it's getting to summer though so the days are humid and the kids are cranky!
goodbye s o
Goodnight, snowyowl, sleep well
I mean SO
and hetty, i hope i don't put on ai 4/4
night snowyowl! have a good night!
anyone have the ce5/12 and 6/21
g'nite, snowy!
i didn't think you took it personally jilli, you have a good sense of humor!
hey, exwren, I tried that web site, but I couldn't get on for some reason -- it keeps dumping me onto yahoo -- btw, my chorus is at www.tunetownshowchorus.org
i need those also pabtrek!
No, never, jilli --and franmag, cranky kids I no longer have to worry about. But I miss the days when I did
ce5/12 - add a female name, similar to a spanish river but feminised then pluralise for the 6
haz to the rescue! thanks!
is there another way to access your choir's site? Would love to see it!
happy birthday ex-wren!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Jen, did you get the end of the address, which is blchoir? Or maybe google Basingstoke Ladies Choir. I'll have another look at yours
*bakes a cake and presents it to exwren*
oh yeah, the reason we're doing navy and choirs today! happy birthday ex-wren!

Thanks, Haz. You always pop up just when I need you!
Finished!:-)
yay jacula!!
congrats jac!!
You're welcome, hetty - I am on later than usual thanks to an internet connection problem. I doubt whether I'll finish.
Ex wre, you look lovely and I'm sure you soud lovely and I wish you many happy returns of this blessed day
congrats jacula
Woot, Jacula!
oh cool, one of the he 4/4s is my nickname!
oops, not 4/4, it would be 4/6
*whimper* can't hide any longer as my addled brain can't find re6/24 :(
Haz - I wondered what you were doing about at this time of the day.
Well done, Jac. Are you going to clue us now?( she says prayerfully)
re6/24 - put in cypher again
yoink, to encipher again
I know, Jacula, if I had any wit I would go to bed, but here I am!
Hetty - I'll stay for a short while. Want to get to bed soon though. Been out in the sun painting sheds.
thanks haz
Grrr, didn't see that extra e. :( thanks FranMag
Yoink, i think you need to put the wretched re prefix in front of co9 4 (cipher)
dr 5/12 anyone?
yw yoink!

jilli, water goes down the dr***
ch + 4th vowel + double consonant

daisy, ch+last name of hockey player mel
there must be something i'm not seeing with the Hs, only have 13 so far...oh well, i'll figure it out when i get the list out

I have the gas (pardon!) What is the other et6 please?
I just visited your website Jen, looks good, big group, I think we only have about 45 singers, but we enjoy ourselves. MAMABEAR is also involved with a choir
Could the last th5/12 be - definite article plus a 'contained' preposition? All an anagram of old english form of your
hetty, it's also a gas, change last vowel
Talking of choirs, our family IS one. We all sing--many happy occasions when our daughters serenade us
And now, time for bed!

what i love aboutit is that i can cpy and paste from babble to your list saved in excel. plus it looks like work so i can daytime babble!

*****FIREWORKS!!!!!*****
welcome! and super 4t8!
yay minski!!!!!
yay minski! well done!
ch6/24 add a vowel to the word above it.
Congrats Minski
pabtrek, ho5/16 is like another name for moonshine minus an O
I cannot find the 9 letter
thanks! it starts with an r, or solve for the 7 c first
add that vowel to the end of the word.
the ho7/44 is past tense of the ho5/16
ty Minski
thanks FranMag
I'm stumoed on my last 4... please help me. to4/5 (i have the things on your feet and past tense); 2nd th5/12; re6/24 and 1st ho4/6. Please and thank you!
the 9 letter one: re + another word for tv station
thankies!
echoer
bgl, to4/5 is like a plural of a man's name, to* rundgren
to4/5 = frogs minus the extra vowel
NUTZ.
ty featherbee!!
THANKS!
LOL!
second th5/12 sounds just like the land owner one but spelled different, definite article + short preposition
th5/12 = add a vowel to the middle of the word directly below it
thanks brandy :P
re 6/24 encipher again
re6/24 is encipher again
i wasn't even in the chat box........ no excuse....
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
ho4/6 is like the to, just change first letter
ooh jeffer, gmta!
how do you like the new site, brandyjack?
ho4/6 = remove one of the double vowels from the thing attached to your coat that you put on your head.
Thank you, again! Fireworks1
don't worry about it brandyjack, everybody does it!!
yay bgl!!!
Congrats BGL
Anyone need any help? I have a few minutes...
how do you get an icon?
Good for you, BGL
yes BGL, i could use help on a 9 or 10 letter word :)
WTG, bgl!
there's only one 9, no 10s
oh ok
jilli, what were the ones you needed again?
how do people finish these puzzles? It would take a looong time :P
I only have 82 words
Lot nicer than the old. The chatterbox is a trap, but other than that it's nice. Only other downside I've noticed is viewing the entire log is painful in Firefox. I like not having to switch to stats when I'm trying to gray out a box.....
BGL: any of the 3 ho ones, please -- ho 5, 6 a,d 7
what is with the numbers?
i am down to two - need the in 7 and the ho 7. any help, please?
re9/66 - re+what separates England from France (the English Ch******)
what are they for?
angela, i rely a lot on the list of two letters and points
yes that is a nice feature. i cannot see the log the stats and the grid at the same time, time foir a new puter
erda, ho5 are those who dig in the ground
okay
hoers
itsonme, much as I love the game, I don't usually start any over 120 words. I like to finish, and these big ones are almost impossible to find sufficient time.
first number is how many letters in the word, second is how many points. they come from the clue lists.
ho5 - A place to keep plates and silverware (chnange the u to an o) then for the 7 make it past tense
ho5/16 is like another way to say moonshine minus an O
ho7 is the past tense of the ho5/16
ho6 - not colded (no that's not a typo!)
Temple, I doubt you need more than a new monitor. Say a 17" LCD or 19" CRT. Something that'll do 1200 x 1024 resolution without ripping your eyes out of your head.
ho6/24 is what bgl said and the key is not colded
in7 - chitlins (or pig intestines)
re 5/12 - not the one that is re + mans name
oh goodness, thank you BGL how funny, what a good clue
magbag, it sounds like a prefix for a 4-sided thing
Got all the Hos...Thank you BGL!!
BGL, I have only lived in the south for a little bit - chitlins are like a foreign language- sorry, anthing else?
thanks
back. 63 to go and nothing I need to do until tomorrow morning...
how many hos are there?
hi stid, 54 for me!
ok, I figured it out - I am finished, thanks for the help..........
i'm getting a snack, brb
joey~ Holiday I**+not easy-h
It's not just the south; I'm from Europe and I heard of inn**** -- so there

Has anyone eaten them?

hi stid! LOL! it's so fun watching the clues morph as the day wears on! like telephone, only waaaaaaaay better!
TO - come on, you are close enough to DE for every week to be tax free. Last time I visited PA, I made a quick trip to DE, got a new laptop and brought it home on the plane
I have eaten them, often and I think they are very yummy -- if properly prepared!
isn't it great, TO? and of course the more words I have, the more of the clues I understand... LOL
9 years old would make it a celeron 266/300, 128mb, mach64, on windows 98. Time to bury that fossil......
I have 158 words so far itsonme, but have been playing for several months and several hours today...
quite true, joey. but with gas so high i am not doing much extra driving.
lol, stid! I found the 9 letter word thanks to feather.
i don't think i've had chitlins as they are prepared in the south, but i've had plenty of other in7/32.
I hear you on that....... I was at the ballpark - it is only 20 minutes to Concord from there
Okay, must leave now. I got a call this evening that I have a funeral to do (on top of everythign else this weekend). Been fun. I'll probably see you all tomorrow.

lol anders
LOL anders, and brahms (even the loud ones) put me to sleep! maybe it'll be Mahler? enjoy.
lol anders
stid, dear, did you find your ch 5/16?
*waits on pins and needles for stid's fireworks!*
i will miss the flip, and i swear i won't do another 300 word grid. we should get paid for our time!
I need the a with 5 words, I only have one of them
Itsonme, if you need the co 6/24 it is zip co** + rs.
yep nrkii! I am down to one, it's a C 6 and I can't figure out which blinking bleeping one I need! so frustrating... I'll let you know when I know which one I need... :-)
thanks for your kind words, all of you
itsonme, one of the a5 is OOHED AND A****
Wow, anders, me too! I'm a Victoria Symphony devotee and we SSislandeers get to enjoy them in Duncan

well, I thought I found a few more but they didnt work.
go stid! go stid! go stid!
and then the text at the very top of the paper, that repeats on every page (or a way of describing a fall, like "took a HE****")
Nevermind, I HAVE to go shut the computer off because I hear thunder. Really goodbye now.
add first two letters of white dinner side dish grain stuff (UNCLE BEN'S) stid
good night shutterbug!
Night everyone.

okay, who wants to be professionally confused? LOL
WHOOPEE STID! GO AND MAKE SOME NOW <VBG>
lol stid
thanks all -- that was a trial. I sure hope the next one will be more manageable.
yay stid

I am stuck on the ohhed and a**** one...I no what it is but cant spell it
my eyes were drying out, i don't think i blinked for a while in there
when my German Shepherd Dog wants to help me get out the door, he stands right between me and the door in such a way I cannot reach the handle... that's how those last few words felt to me.

angela -- try this. you know OOhed... you need AA***
gotcha thank you
why heard do not work
terrd
aa + head without the letter "a"
yw.
how to spell hard
Terri it does -- try typing it in slowly

I am dying after 105 words, eyes hurt...ouch
hey there, no bandying words about in the chat :)
ok, i'm going to bed! thanks so much for the great race stid!
unless it is accidental
night featherbee!
itsonme, you have been here for a very long time! you probably should go do something else for a while!
thank YOU featherbee! It is always a pleasure to be beaten to a pulp by your worshipfulness... ;-)
right, itsonme, we definitely allow accidental bandying LOL
How come "dane" is not found in the dictionary?
no! 2+ hours left...need...to...finish
lol, stop that stid!
sweet dreams, and I'll try again tomorrow, feather!

itsonme, dingbats, ditzes = AI 8
i know it's been clued already, but what is the DE 8/50
79 to go, and supper to get, 2+ hours left...
Ping, I don't really like Pink -- at least not that particular hue. So in the interest of beautifying the log, I went gray. Appropriate anyway, now that I'm OLD... LOL
i'm OLD and anti-pink too. good idea.
Ping, think of things that happen every ten years and remove the last letter (an L): de + first three letters for a penny, then double that last letter and add two vowels.
Ping, use the de 6/24, double the remaining final consonant, then add Ave Mar**
lol stid I promise...actually I think I will go to sleep now...106 words on my first day...not that bad...
although idk whats good...
go Jill go! (no -- really. make supper and come back. your mind will be clearer and you will be refreshed.)
ha 6/24 after the "difficult" ha 4/6
nice job angela!
moonriver, to make ha 4/6 (like what cement does)
I'm back...good job Angela!
Angela, you have done an admirable job for a person of your age on the first day... I think setting a goal of 100 words each day, or 1000 points, might be reasonable.
thx
I assume you finished stid? if so, well done!
thanks, stid and nrkii
bybye everyone! See you tomorrow hopefully!!!
bybye everyone! See you tomorrow hopefully!!!
bybye everyone! See you tomorrow hopefully!!!

oh oh...
bye itsonme!
tomorrow Angela...
wow...sorry about the...1...2...3...4 pentople*my new word* posts
s'okay Angela, it happens sometimes. :-) good night!
so I had an idea earlier -- how about I set up a section on Babbler's Anonymous where we can put our myers-briggs types? It would be interesting to see how many we get of each one...
ENTJ
can someone clue me on the oc words that have to do w/ color?
(bet that is not a shocker to you stid) :)
good idea stid...enfp here!
oc + not him, but shuffle the last two letters
thanks nrkii...I know that word is here all the time, I think I kept trying to use the a instead
yes stid, I think that would be fascinating
kristin, there are two words that come off that one
plural and past tense
ENTP
INTJ :)
got em, thanks nrkii!
okay, then I think what I will do is troll the log for today and put in what people have said they are, then leave let people know it's there and they can add their types. Periodically I'll go in and figure out percentages...
thank would be fun stid!
Elalyr, sometimes I swing towards INTJ myself -- depends on setting whether I am i or e
Tomorrow's theme is PLATES -- gonna go grab my next icon...
the P is why finishing this game is so tough for me. i bet many of the regulars are Js.
stid, do you remember what i said i was?
I'm a p here ping (and you and I were a bit behind the others last I checked...still have 35)
Ping, I was just thinking the opposite :)
I'll bet there are a lot of NTs though...analytical types
stid, it would be cool to compare to the percentages of a regular cross section of everyon
kristin, i am very slow!
i have 36
say goodbye to the Village People folks... and... sing it with me... IN THE NAVY! ...
INTP
yes, i bet you're right about NT, elalyr
he6s?
you can sail the seven seas!
Just come back after dinner with 43 words to find.
go for it hetty!!
he6/21-- a funeral vehicle
IN THE NAVY!
he 6/21 is the cars for funeral homes
got that one only
It would start me off well if someone could please offer a clue to the ne6/18
ha 6/21?
he6/24, the top portion of a letter
he 6 is the text at the very top of the page in a word document
ha 6/21 rhymes with famous baseball player Mickey M*****
ahh, didnt have that one, thanks
then, take the 2nd vowel out of top of page thing
thanks nrkii
the other h6/24 is plural of the the h5/14 and rhymes with the top of paper one, minus an A
ne 6 18 is a sharp pointy plantlife thingie rhymes with TEA KE****
i'm stumped by the ENs - any clues?
okay, I am working on my "project" and being very quiet... Fran, I am going to just check back though the logs... :-) back before the flip to help clue
just got your icon nrk! as usual you have interpreted the theme in a unique way!
ping, group of 9. ... EN + what you do to dough, but remove the K
hetty, waile i wait for the spaghetti to cook and the bolognese to thaw, the ne 6/18 might sting you! ttfn - timer beeping...
Fran, I like to have fun with the themes. Was going to go with plate-spinning, but I'm a baseball fan.
thanks!
fi6,30?
hooray, I needed those ens...never heard of them either!
Thanks, nrkii--and jilli. Dont know how I missed that one. Ouch.
hence the correction on mel!!
LOL, yes.
shirin, a fish is fi****
(though honestly, I only know the Mel *** thing because of crossword puzzles myself!
same here nrk, he was way before our time i think!
hetty, that ne word was hard to find because it took a strange path, I think
thanks nrkii
but he's such a good crossword answer
Mel ***thing????
the last ch 5 is ch + mel ***
ch5/14, ch+last name of baseball player mel ***
stid-I don't rember which type I was-I know I was very much an I, but the rest I don't remember. Did you give examples before or how did people come up with their types?
or C + not cold (double last letter)
there is an online meyers briggs test you can take to see where you fall -- let me see if I can find it, because it's really very interesting
i think that's a better clue nrk, you might be the only one that got the word with the other clue!
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JT ypes2.asp
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JT ypes1.htm
ho6 and ho7?
that would be great nrkii. I took it twice many years ago. I know that there were several categories in which I was right on the line between two types-but the I was very pronounced.
ho6/24 is opp of colded
ho7/44 is past tense of ho5/16
ty!
fran, we have to stop meeting like this! :)
none of my traits were very pronounced, my highest number was 38 i think
can you give
oc7
hey y'all...sure wish we could get a puzzle with some t's in it one a' these days...
shirin, it's like the oc5/12, but it's the french spelling with an extended ending
oc 7 is group of 8 (stretch out the ending, but keep the sound the same as the oc 5/12)
ScoutsMom, I hear ya
can you give me some hint\
terri6, hi there! how are you tonight?
I need some help with the upper right I
manicmama, angers, angered...
manicmama, two of the words have to do with anger, one is angered, one is to anger
and then two that sound like a TI word that means tantrum or furious outburst, but drop the T
another is ir5/12, ir + ending of beverage lemon***
and then plural
gosh, how did you ever get that word? thanks
thanks....if they were snakes.......
shirin, you get those by applying every word ending to every letter!!
until something sticks or looks like a real word!
i never would have done that, ty
at least that's what i do.
yep, esp after I'm using the list, that's what I do too
third le 6/21 anyone?
i got a couple of great tips from sprite when i was playing late at night one time, it's really helped
ach! bugs getting to me out on the porch. trying to tell me something: late, and Babe up early in AM. Y'all have a grand old night. Back on tomorrow evening, when i'll have more time. See what y'all can do about a getting us a puzzle I can actually finish then, 'kay?
can I get help with the last ha6,24?
night scoutsmom!!
shirin, opp of make soft
brb, gonna get my new icon
kristin, third le 6/21 is past tense of le 4/4 meaning to rest against something or to stand at a tilt/angle (tower of Pisa)
i have that one?
duh! duh! (I needed the le4 and was frantically looking for it-ha ha!)
shirin, do you have the house full of ghosts, but without U?
ok shirin, try this one, past tense of ha4/5, old-fashioned way to say you have ghosts
no, I didnt have it Fran, thanks.
i went for a straight plate nrk, but it looked cool, like a pixellated image
very cool plate fran -- was just about to say so
Hey everyone
hello chiunit
where is everyone, usually the hour before the flip is frantic!!
wwhat is the theme tnite anyway?
hi chiunit!
thursday theme was choral/navy
new theme is plates kierlex.
friday theme is plates
fran and I are early
Does anybody have a clue for the las ha 5/12 word?
I thought about finding an image of a dental plate, but seemed like that wouldn't really work -- too hard to figure out
plural bunnies minver
Oops, I meant to say the last ha 4/5 word. Any clues?
i keep seeing teeth, but i also have a tooth ache!
bunny
minver, the bunny is the last onee
in7,32?
how about a plate, like metal plates in your head?
nrk, the image you picked is perfect, just quirky enough without you having to explain how it fits the theme!
by the way, I appreciate all of your help!
in 7 is another word for a hotel + the outside of your house - first letter, then plural it
I have that one, thanks! Any clues for the ha 4/5 a few words before that?
huh, i can't hear you, i'm picking up a country music station with mine right now! ;-)
kierlex, metal plate would be good, but perhaps hard for people to recognize - :)
wow I'm ADD already...its too early for this...
Any help with the en duo? I'm losing the ability to see
first ha4/5 is not soft, but drop the D and double the vowel, is that the one?
minver, like the thing at the end of your wrist that you raise in class, but change last letter
outside of your house?
got it, thanks
back***, front****, ****sale, Junk****
I think I'm instinctually waiting for the flip...
I have that one Fran mag, thanks. I need the other.
yoink, en + sounds like a word that is a necessity
ohhhh
rch
oops
hooray done!
HA + **ergy bar?
then plural yoink
YAY KRISTIN!!!!!!
yay kristin!!
krisin, i must be more P than you because I still have 13 to go!
well that was fun-the Meyer's Briggs. It was much shorter than I remember it's being. In any case, I'm and INFJ. I'm pretty sure that's what I was years ago too.The I part and the F part are quite definitive. The N and the J are weaker preferences. Is any pattern emerging for BAbblers?
go ping!!
20 more to go!
go shirin!!
yay kristin
thanks! and I have a sick husband so I think I'll go and return the favor and tend to him
later kristin!
seeya kristin
oh ping! you can do it...good luck!
where are you all taking the meyers briggs?
goooooooooooooo ping and shirin!
gnite kristinc, hope mr kristinc feels better soon
eva, i came out INTJ, i think the pattern seems to be I and J in common
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JT ypes1.asp
thanks kierlex, goodnight all!
ooh, you beat me nrk!!
thanks, kristin
et7,36?
darn...no thar
Thank you nrkii, I got the last ha 4/5 word finally!
IRST, 63,1,50,1 for me.
et + ch5/14 that is an old way to sing
nice to see another male babbler grace the chat pages
weird word, thanks
wow, brandjack, heavy on the I!
what is IRST though?
Thanks FranMag! Was going the wrong way again
gonna do it, do it right....
mine was INTJ, 11, 38, 1, 33
is this some kind of personality test?
I thought it was I/E, N/S, T/F, J/P
Does anybody have a clue for the fe 6/30 and fi 6/30
introverted/extroverted etc. right?
that's right - brandy - no R
fi 6 is a way to describe fish
ISTJ. right. was working from memory which is decidely defective.....
minver, one fe6/30 is to be covered in fe4/7
last ra6,21?
Hi brandyjack! Haven't been on at the same time as you for a dog's age.
introverted/extraverted, intuitive/sensing, thinking/feeling, judging/perceiving
other fe6/30, is a desert fox, spelled like anise tasting veg, but last consonant is different
I have that Franmag,thank you. I need the other one
fi6/30 if the fish had flappers then he was fi6/30.
both were clued minver
ra 6/21 (last one) is past tense of ra 4/4 meaning to fuss and fume
I knew it
ty nrkii
isn't one combo distinctly more common that the others?
INFP here
th6 and th7?
well I hope it's not ENTJ, because we're a scary lot
i've never considered myself introverted, but i think i've become moreso as i get older
th 6 = not now but th** + we **e the champions
hey everyone !
ok, i am an INFJ
hey helen!!!
the myers-briggs,huh? what got you guys on this topic?
I'm introverted at parties, but extroverted at work and on phone or online
wow, you're all introverted?
hi helen!
nrk, i was probably an ENTJ when i was younger
I count myself as Extroverted Chi, because I am in most settings
yeah, it depends where i am. or i can be extroverted but i need alone time to recharge
hiya nrkii, eva, fran, kier, lurkers
although i'm not sure if you can actually change that kind of thing
hey helen!!
hey kierlex-it says that we are just 3 percent of the population. Wonder if that's true.
I am exactly the same way kierlex!
hee hee
the meaning of the terms is a bit different than you might think -- it's not about behavior for introverted vs extroverted, it's about where you draw your energy from...
jung was a funny guy
is anyone going to answer my question? how you all started talking about this
so if you get worn out more by social settings, you're an i, if you get energized by social settings, you're an e
ah, I stand corrected, clearly my psych teacher didn't do a good enough job explaining
dunno helen, it was already underway when I got here
I'm missing a TE 4. I have the canvas hut, the abbrev. bears and the numbereth.
helen you can google myers briggs and it will take you to a shortened and free test
it was already going when i got on this afternoon
i was just curious cause the chat was so intense about it, where did you all take the test?
well, I'm falling asleep-keep thinking I'm tracking and then find that I've got my eyes closed, so time to bid you all a good night/day whatever it is where you are.
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JT ypes1.htm
lol - shirin is psychic!!!
or just use this link
ping, take a consonant out of the middle of the te 5 that is not ninth or eleventh
why helen?
Does anybody have a clue for the te 4/5 word. Not the one about teeth minus an "e". I need the other 1.
good nite eva
cause you answered the question i asked before i posted it :)
thanks, nrkii
11 more!
minver, President Roosevelt, the first one, shortened name, plural
cool, let us know when you find out your types so we can compare
minver, plural of man's name, te* koppel
I took the test 5 years ago and another version of it 3 years ago -- would retest, but fairly confident I haven't changed much in that time.
what about the last 2 THs, a 6/21 and a 7/32?
I didn't know Jung created this personality test...I thought it was someone else...
Thank you Franmag! I got it.
thx fran - i'll do that after i knock off these pesky 23 - it's been over 20 years since i took it & don't remember what i came out as
ping, not now but TH** + we **e the champions

Most of my colleagues at work are INFJs
any help on a do6/24?
N word from left side col.
what do you do ping?
ping, that's unfortunate -- always good to have a mix
last ch6,27?
erda, it's like de6/24, just change first vowel
but then I guess that it depends what you do
shirin, like the orange cheese, but one d and different last vowel
shucks -- I have that one -- hpw many do sixes are there?
only 1!
I have that one nrkii. Let me go back and see
only two total D6

HUZZAH SHIRIN TOO!!!!
Or maybe my sweet cyberwife will help out
wtg shirin !!!
helen, to answer your question from earlier while I was re-reading the log... wassup and nrkii and I got into a discussion this afternoon about personalities. Many of us are (in person) very introverted; which brought up myers-briggs... so that's what got us going.
is the le 4/5 the GErman for learn hetty?
re 5/12? (not the one with the man's name)
yay shirin
first part of 4-sided polygon + O
hiya stid :) ok, well that explains it, seems you really found a topic of wide interest - i'm going to take it after these LAST 4 !!!
I have 3 le4's which begin with second and first vowels, and a final le4 hat switches to a hump consonant-what am I missing?
can someone please help me wiht the ho 5,16 and the ho 7,44
le 4/5 is a heavy metal and 5/12 is the plural, unless i'm missing something which is quite likely
ping, just saw your comment, i thought the plate was cool too, the design is based on pixels, very computery
you want (i think) the le which has the eighth letter in the third place...
go helen!!
go helen o!
I have thos jilli. And I din't know German, Stid, except for lieder words
what the h is that 4-sided polygon whaich is not a square?
can someone please help me with the de8 please? thanks....
thx fran, finally got it
1 more
jillibus, geometry. All squares are re**angles, but not all re***** are squares... actually the word means something like the page on the right...
de 8 is de + first three letters of "penny" with the third letter doubled +two vowels.
jeewhiz, de+penny minus the t + ending of crazy word, ma***
*holding breath for helen*
Thanks franmag
Fran better clue than mine...

*Tom's looking at me funny*
ya better breathe, i was struggling with this one since last night
yes, thank you my darling Stid.lt was indeed a German sounding word which I had never seen before. I shall now sing it in a Schubert song
stid, just less thinking to do, it's late in the game!! ;-)
no no helen! I have to hold my breath! it's the ritual!
Oh thanks stidmama, the clues came so fast your's was off the screen before I saw it....
*now Tom looks funny to me*
deb, ho5/16, old game played with chalk drawing on the ground and kids jump through the diagram (squares). keep only the first letter of the first word and lose the first two letters of the second word. Then past tense it for the 7
brb, baby is in her high chair screaming to be let down!!
no, no stid, if you do, then i'll be forced to ask for help (so as to save your life! lol )
Or: it's a name for the right-hand page in printer/editor terminology
s'okay, helen, I am a trained professional breath holder! been doing this since I was the age of Fran's baby! I am like the fifth Chinese brother who could hold his breath indefinitely.
*but things are still getting swimmy...*
LOL
ok, fe 6/30 (not the hat material adjective)
Why is Tom looking at you funny?:My first boyfriend was named Tom. Lovely name
brandyjack - excellent clues for an ai7 like me - thanks!
got it - fireworks!!!!
and I've finished, thanks Stid and thanks jilli
you're saved stid - you may thank my monkeys :)
oh _THAT_ word. it is so stupid... helen, do you know that plant that is similar to dill? same lovely ferny foliage but tastes more like licorice. change last letter to ab*..
*whew* good jog and YAY HELEN AND HETTY!
{{{thanks monkeys}}} *tosses bananas around*
wtg hetty !!!!
Helen---bet I beat you!
thx stid, all who helped !!! :)))
ummm. good job? I think that's what I meant...
yes hetty, but she was handicapped trying to stay dry while I held my breath.
HUZZAH HETTY AND HELEN!!!!
yipeee hellen and hetty!!!!
yay helen and hetty!!!
anyone else wanting cluse?
Someone should be punished for that second fe6/30....not nice!!
wtg Helen. That plant Stid is talking about--I think I tasted it for he first time in a friend's garden last night. What is its name?
stid -- how about a ha5/14 and 6/21??
yet i've seen that word in previous grids, all i kept seeing was the herb, ever since the flip
fennel, hetty...
FE 6/30 IS THAT LICOICE PLANT IF YOU CHANGE THE LAST LETTER TO AN l
ha5/14 isa plural of the not-soft
my first time today... i've got 152 out of 218 so nowhere near it, but enjoying it! i've hardly got any I words, just inned and ired
and there are two types, closely related. One you use the foliage and seeds, the other you use the bulbous part just above the roots.
well done Bambam. we try to use the first letters and point values rather than putting words in the log...
ye gods and little fishes, i left the CAPS on
would you like clues for the other I words Bambam?
how does the rest of that LEH word go??? lol
sure... and how do i put a picture in my box
spark, R
I was talking aboput fennec....
love your icon, spark
Thanks, I know fennels a bulb I buy in te store. This plant was a feathery, frondy fern-I suppose its corm is what is harvested, but Iwas nibblig on the buds while all the other choristers were playing croquet
naughty, erda
icons are a pro feature... just $15 for a lifetime membership...
thank you, FranMag! I was thinking it had more letters than that...
there are four IR words from the top right corner...
spark, there is also a plural
thank you, jillibus ... :=)
hey everyone. anyone got a clue for the th 6/21 & 7/32?
the two easiest IR words are 4 letters. IR + "silent" vowel + consonant. One is a plural word, one is past tense.
ten words left, but I'm giving up. thanks to everyone who helped. sometimes it's fun to play even if you don't finish
hi wassup!
hi again, wassup
sigh! I love it when that grey colors those number boxes! only 46 left to go in 28 minutes!
wassup, th4/5 + first letters of news **ticle
there is a th 4/5 right before them, wassup, add the pirate sound (two letters) for the 6 and plural for the 7
go spark go!
how's everyone doing with this one? I've got 38 to go. i'm not planning to finish, but i'm close enough for the day i've had!
Erda, sounds like you're really tired! this was a tougher grid than I anticipated!
thanks stid, i always forget that one. it's the startrek name... :)
let's try to finish wassup!!
oh, and thanks fran :)
thanks stidmama
I have put raw data from our myers-briggs discussion on BA under Meet and Greet, will put up better stats later tonight.
did those help Bambam? do you want the other two IR words?
got them just missing a fair few A and N words... i have to join this pro thing to get my picture up... will do that soon.
wassup, it was really humid today so the kids were very cranky, i had a hard time finishing myself.
okay, let us know when you want more clues! :-)
Fran, pretty unusual to be humid on an island, has it been stormy?
I admire your tenacity and your acumen, Stid. Personality analysis is going to augment the game Ican see--fascinating stuff. We are certainly like-minded people, we bablers
yeah, it was one of those days for me too. i'm still working on getting my daughter to bed. she keeps coming down for water
help with the ra 5/10?
lift up, wassup?
no stid, it's just summer is around the corner and we're getting a taste of the heat and humidity
just got it. :)
oh -- I see. we have been more humid than we are used to this last week. usually the water in Puget Sound keeps us comfortable.
stid, did you get the profiles that were posted in the last couple of hours? brandyjacks was very different
i give up, with 72 left, but will help if poss and enjoy the chat.
yes, I did get BJ's thanks. and people can reply to the thread and I'll keep adding and updating stats as they come in.
no trade winds from the north today either, usually the breeze is dryer and helps with the heat
how about the ra 4/4, either 1st or 2nd. i have the one that means precipitation
Jill -- this was a toughie.
rael
wassup, queen, just change N to a vowel
oh shoot. sorry
ra 4 the first ends in three vowels... common babblet
ra 4/4 means to tear down
sorry, that was the second ra 4. the first is short for "totally ra*" a teenage term... then plural letter
huh, have the teenager one
ah, got it. thanks for the clues
that third ra 4 is what we get a lot of in the Pac NW wassup....
in 7/32? and yes we do stid, but not today!
can anyone help with the first 3 ocs (5,14 6,27 and 6,24?
wassup, guts, what's inside your body
in 7/32: chitlins, wassup -- intestines served suthern style...
it's a plural, but the singular is not a word
think orange colouring in concrete
ew. gross word. thanks
debb -- a color, starts like a scottish exclamation!
29 left!
then past tense and plural on those ocs...
go wassup go!
oh god - i need a fish now! thanks guys
he 6/21, 7/36, 5/14 & 6/24 that are all together in that order?
*tosses orange roughy to debb*
first he you want is a funeral car, then past tense
the next he you want is the first he 6/24 without the A, then plural....
he5/14, take he6/24 and take out the A
he 6/21 & 7/36 are your last ride?
good clue jill!
very good clue jill!
herse
oh never mind, it's not there
that's not a word though!
Jill?
;-)
woo hooo!!!!!! thanks. i'm on a roll! (ok, can't take credit for these, but i will anyway!)
how bout the last he 6/24?
go wassup!!
go wassup go!
past tense the last he 4/5
past tense of the he4/5 before it, rhymes with the canvas dwelling
a title or a goal not using your foot
ah...
last fe 6/30? i saw some clues about a plant? didn't get it...
Bambam, good cluing.
it's also a desert fox wassup, it's spelled like the anise tasting veg, but change last letter
fe +doubled consonant +repeat vowel + Consonant (the Cap is a Clue)
sounds like the aussie boxer who loves youse all
lol stid. the Cap is a Clue... hahaha
how about a clue for the ai 8?
Hi everyone - just sitting here at work picking up words ! Thanks.
*giggle* man am I tired! did I really type that?
hey lynxxx!
Hi lynxxx! good to see you! we heard from Aussieme today! she and baby Georgia are well.

benda, plural of the ai7/36, people with nothing upstairs
ai8-- plural of one whose head is in the clouds
that sicilian volcano
hi benda...
oh dear...
wassup, the volcano
et 4 is the volcano
Good to hear about Aussieme. Polka Dots ?! are your new theme ?
he en's anyone? someone said something about necessity? like what we breathe?
she's navy for navy/choir day
thanks franmag!
actually stars, the theme for today was Navy so I chose the US. Naval Jack...
how about re 9? I'm trying to get as many as i can before the flip!
lynxxx, enlarge stid's icon - not polka dots!
debb, en + a word that sounds like a necessity
en 6 en + what you do for bread before you let it rise - k
then plural for the en 7
and yes, I know they are using a stupid old "don't tred on me" jack at the moment, but I like this one lots better.
thank you fran and stid!!
yw debb

hello, hello wassup
then past tense for the 5/16
bend, to flip through the ch***** again
