good morning

12:00 am

hey this grid looks almost manageable!

12:00 am

Flip

12:01 am

hi kimberblue! hi Layne!

12:01 am

i'm joining you all for my first conversation of my 37th year!

12:01 am

greyed out the E!

12:01 am

i was sitting waiting <G>

12:01 am

Good morning, stidmama. Can't believe I'm awake!

12:01 am

what do you mean zoot isn't a word!

12:01 am

Give it another try, jilli. You'll do this one/

12:01 am

flip! had 15 left, not bad!

12:02 am

happy birthday kimber!

clues are up!

12:02 am

okay, I am going to go work on the analysis of the stats for the myers briggs stuff from yesterday... will post them on the BA Meet and Greet in about 25 or thirty minutes...

12:02 am

okay all, i'm going to turn off chat and work quietly for a while

12:02 am

WOW lickety!

12:02 am

*happy birthday kimber!* *offers bouquet of flowers*

12:03 am

WOW lickety again!

12:03 am

aww...thanks!

12:03 am

so where do you see who got the most points every day>? i.e. stidmama obv. got them all but where are the charts?

12:03 am

ummm... Lickety -- do you know your myers-briggs type?

12:04 am

somehow i really want trollop to be in this puzzle...it's nowhere close to being in there...but a girl can wish, can't she?

12:04 am

zoot not there? does anyone remember zoot suits?

12:04 am

exactly, jillibus!

12:06 am

no s, no plurals, maybe latin ones tho

12:06 am

awry

12:06 am

Remembering zoot suits would show my age, therefore, I've never heard of them. ;)

12:06 am

tawdry

12:06 am

woops!

12:07 am

i was testing while ya'll were flipping : i'm ESFJ - this sounds familiar (even though it's been 20+ years)

i know what zoot suits are; learned about them in history

12:07 am

i'm enfj helen

12:08 am

haha phweak -- who cares?

12:08 am

Oh shut up, moonriver :D

12:09 am

haha!

xP

12:09 am

hey helen - i was in your neighborhood today getting my car emission tested!

12:10 am

ls1 - then you were 1 block from my house on your way there!!!!

12:10 am

you could have stopped by & helped me wash my dogs, lol

12:10 am

hi all how many words?

12:10 am

are you just off forest preserve?

12:10 am

131, leanne

12:11 am

i'm right off harlem, 2 block south of irving

12:11 am

door

12:11 am

thanks!

12:11 am

that is close!

12:12 am

i'm assuming you drove up harlem to get there - i was so happy they put that place there, before i used to have to go way into the heart of congested yuppie-ville

12:12 am

i did - i used to go to hillside - 290 is much easier to travel than harlem

12:13 am

wass- i was 1 on the intuitive/sensing, so we could almost be the same!

12:13 am

but at least i get to stop at caputo's!

12:13 am

yes, harlem is a major hassle - i wish they could figure out a way to make it 2 lanes here

12:13 am

lol - that place is nuts :)

12:14 am

rats! i did it again! SO sorry. Maybe nobody noticed?

12:14 am

no jili, but i went back to see :)

12:14 am

me too!

12:14 am

wassup!!!! wassup?

12:16 am

12:16 am

hi kierlex

12:16 am

12:16 am

12:16 am

12:17 am

12:18 am

12:33 am

nite bendamalina

12:34 am

he da man!

12:35 am

why do i continue to play this evil addicting game. i need to join an Babbleholics Anonymous group

12:35 am

this is a good day for icons. another good idea kierlex

12:35 am

those who are interested I have some preliminary data up at Babbler's Anon under Meet and Greet about the Myers Briggs discussion of yesterday. anyone who wants to add themselves can reply to that thread...

12:36 am

thanks wassup. it's hard to see tho!

12:36 am

oh, what is babblers anon? i should check it out. am so lame

12:36 am

thanks stid

12:36 am

going to find a new icon...

12:37 am

stid - do you have the grid that tells you in a sentence or two in a funny way what the letters mean?

12:37 am

helo

12:37 am

Olivia is very dr5/12+y, and yet, its not a word??

12:37 am

for example, mine was I have no trouble totally concentrating - oh, look there is a bird - on my work

12:38 am

okay, new icon loaded, refresh for my take on the day's theme!

12:38 am

that is cool, stid (the myers brigg breakdown on babble anon)

12:38 am

I know, no mom can believe that's not a word!

12:38 am

it's really interesting, but then I get into demographics and stuff like that big time!

12:39 am

i think dr...y should be a word, too

12:39 am

what is todayt's theme?

12:39 am

i was going to do gondwanaland for my plate icon but i was distracted by license plates

12:40 am

Knut, are things working out for you-all since you got back to work?

12:40 am

stid - did you see my ???

12:40 am

stid...I just checked it out, very cool. It is so interesting reading what others are

12:41 am

indeed they are working out pretty good. I never see my husand, but Olivia has adapted to the routine so very well

12:42 am

what are you talking about jaiknut if i may ask?

12:42 am

sorry joey, missed it. trying to multitask....no, I don't have that!

12:42 am

woah...I though jaiknut was an imposter...what's the deal?

12:42 am

well, I am glad it's working for Liv...

12:43 am

kristin, I thought so too. So I wrote to Knutmeg and her mom and checked it out. They responded that this is a legit combo name for them.

12:43 am

kierlex-stid asked me how things were going since I went back to work. I was on maternity leave until May 1st, I had my baby, Olivia, in March. My husband and I work opposite shifts so we don't have to pay for child care.

12:43 am

gotcha...now I won't ignore them...hi to you both!

12:43 am

stid, checked out the meyers brigg thing. pretty neat!

12:44 am

hi mum

12:44 am

ahh, JaiKnut, i figured it was shift work. My hubby and i are often on totally opposite shifts. It does work out well for child care (esp as long as baby naps) but can be hard on marriage!

12:44 am

thanks wassup. It'll be fun to see if anyone else responds to the survey!

12:44 am

hi back!

12:44 am

i never doubted you guys!!!! :) actually after stid did i was starting to.

12:44 am

who's your mum bambam?

12:44 am

Wha????

12:45 am

Bambam -- when did you go pro?

12:45 am

Just to prove I am here, too, stid, your last emaqil to me was entitled "miss you"- Jai

12:46 am

LOL Jai, glad you're on too! I was afraid I had offended you by being so suspicious!

12:46 am

just went pro today (first day!) my mum is just playing for fun, and she never went pro (thank goodness!!)

12:46 am

i feel like i am stepping into an existing circle of friends so excuse my nosy behavior

12:47 am

We actually thought JaiKnut was a very cute name!

12:47 am

um...I'd like to take this opportunity to say "this grid stinks" pfft! (I like to use that word now)

12:47 am

being curious and nosy... do you and Knut know your myers briggs types? (it is a cute name!)

12:47 am

wait a minute, *I* am Bambam's mom!

12:47 am

;-) (Bam Bam is m son's nickname)

12:47 am

pfft is right! this is awful!

12:47 am

no, i'm bambam's mom

12:47 am

Bambam you did really well on the last grid.... I am glad you decided to join us!

12:47 am

I like to use pbpppppppppppst, myself

12:48 am

I'm Spartacus!

12:48 am

this would be a good day for holy crap!

12:48 am

I'm Batman!

12:48 am

how do you guys know what the first two letters, length, and points are of the ones you're missing?]

12:49 am

yeah, um, if you give me a minute or two I can look up my myers-brigg type had t otake the test for premarital counselling, and I think I kept the results on my computer somewhere...

12:49 am

sleeky, does your son hit things with a club? my son runs into things. we call him the viking or tyrant depending on the day

12:49 am

i am the walrus, coo coo ca choo

12:49 am

bambam, look at lickety's clues at the bottom of the page.

12:49 am

thankfully no, he' s just very big and strong.

12:50 am

we use Lickety's list (link in the "friends of babble" at the bottom of this page; or BrandyJack's clues which are available in the Babbler's Anonymous site later in the day.

12:50 am

Actually, Meg is doing the puzzle now while I chat, but we only have about 30 or so words to go, so this seems to be working out very well for us- we think differently, you see. -Jai

12:50 am

uh oh...allergies are kicking in. gonna take a benadryl and then fall asleep with laptop.

12:50 am

thanks stid

12:51 am

goodnight wassup, I'm heading off too...goodnight everyone 30 to go...pfft! :)

12:51 am

ENTP stid

12:53 am

MOM!

12:54 am

You're making me look bad. *snickering*

12:54 am

fish for Mom <XXXXXXXXXX,,,,>

12:54 am

I am glad this new arrangement is working for you Jai and Knut.

12:54 am

maybe perhaps the chatting thing isn't quite so... well thought out yet... (says Megan)

12:55 am

I am absolutely beat. Going to eat a banana to feed my monkeys for tomorrow and then to sleep. Glad to have caught up with you again friends... :-) good night!

12:56 am

I CANNOT remember to change the cursor over to the add word box when I think of a word- I apologize- at least I didn't give away da6/36!-Jai

12:59 am

Hello everyone!!

1:00 am

Hello MRP

1:00 am

Hi Mr. P!

1:00 am

Hi everyone!

Hi Blaze! Hi Deutsch! Looks like a fun little one!

1:02 am

I'm a little slow at this one.

1:02 am

there's a few to many t's for me liking....

1:04 am

Hello, Mr. Pres- this puzzle isn't quite as much fun as the last two, but thank you anyway!

I retract my fun statement!

1:05 am

LOL

I can't go forward without starting backward (it is an australian thing I am sure) and I can't get the bloody Z words!

1:06 am

Hi Mrp and Deutsch long time no see!

1:06 am

I just happen to like the longer puzzles- less obscure words and more good combinations of letters....Jai

{{{chic!}}}

1:06 am

z words? Argh

1:07 am

Hi Chic!

1:08 am

there are too many 'almost' words in this one!

1:08 am

Well, I'm signing off and letting my alter ego take over- Knut is sooooo gooood at this is is amazing! Take care, everyone!-Jai

1:08 am

aghghggh i hate this, at least the 300 word ones make you feel like you

1:08 am

're doing something!

1:09 am

Later, Jai@

1:09 am

See you tomorrow, Deutsch! :o)

bye Jai!

1:10 am

1:10 am

well I feel like a right dick today! I can't get more than 40 words!!

1:11 am

i got an a-. how?? i have no clue. not only can i not understand my own raspy voice, but i also said the wrong stuff alot.

1:12 am

maybe the voice was beneficial. the teacher couldnt understand you... :)

1:12 am

put it to a vote: who here thinks "doodly" should be a word henceforth?

1:12 am

yeah, all that french nasal sound

1:12 am

aye.

1:13 am

ned flanders uses it all the time

chalk me up

1:13 am

Mr. P, 40? I'm here at 20. Doodly!

1:13 am

:)

1:14 am

that's three yeas. that should be enough to teach that merriam and his stuffy friend webster a thing or two

1:15 am

i'm surprised we don't have more in favor of doodly. come on people. Doodly?

1:15 am

I have knocked down 30 and by the way Lickety splits lists are awesome... thank you thank you...

1:15 am

i'll vote for doodly!

1:15 am

there we go...

1:16 am

four's even better

2:51 am

SORRY!!!

2:51 am

Hi Matty! that's okay, Nef.

2:51 am

Glad, nef! :D

2:51 am

franmag can you please give me some clues for the w words at the top????

2:52 am

I'll see what I can find - Guten Morgen, Deutsch (und sehr fruh fuer dich - sorry, my German is VERY rusty)

2:52 am

Matty, so is mine. Deutsch is a college nick name, and I've been out of college a long time. LOL

2:54 am

wa4/11, adjective that describes a kiddie pool perhaps

I've changed my icon for today's theme - have a refresh! Deutsch, I lived in Munich (Junior Year abroad) for just over a year - but that was nearly 20 years ago!

2:55 am

that's all 6 of the Ws

2:56 am

very nice matty!!

2:56 am

I still can't figure out the a 4 that means askew

2:57 am

3:40 am

maddie, that lightbulb couldn't be easier! You start with the wa and add 2 cross letters. Do you know what cross letters are?

3:40 am

3:40 am

nice colourful icon fran!!

3:41 am

i don't like subway!!

3:41 am

3:41 am

Maddie, use the 20th letter twice at the end

3:41 am

PS - the word doesn't mean light bulb -- it's what is often written on one

3:41 am

May I ask, how do you find what the days theme is?

3:42 am

what are cross letters?

3:42 am

I got lucky today, saw people talking about it :)

3:42 am

3:42 am

Cat, You can go to angelsong's web page, listed in friends of babble at the bottom

3:42 am

Deutsch gave the cross letter to you - the 20th one in the alphabet.

Mayavi, I have since seen that manskirt has a denim skirt. I thought of you the day I saw it... him.

3:52 am

Maddie, d is not the 20th letter in the alphabet, and it's not a cross letter!

3:52 am

Maddie, try WA plus whae first letter of what you watch your favorite sitcoms on, then add that same letter again.

3:52 am

anyone who has a rottweilier knows that rottie is a word!

4:22 am

I have a Rottie, and I agree Atalante!

4:22 am

And it's not? I have a pit bull, atalante

4:22 am

i dont get it sorry cat.

4:23 am

Maddie.....try this.....ET plus the letter N, plus first vowel :)

4:23 am

et4/4 is a volcano in Sicily

4:23 am

you do, cat? awwwww. I love them! and is your pit bull a soopy thing, Deutsch? I understand they are either soppy as anything or quite hard work? Or is that an urban myth?

4:24 am

Yes Ata, she is a LOVE! 7 years old and a sweetie pie! Her name is Tiki :)

4:24 am

ty cat, do you have anymore?? BTW those clues are better cause i can understand them more!!

4:24 am

our next door neighbour have a year old rottie called Rothko and that dog is just *adorable*

4:25 am

ok, I will clue another.....

4:25 am

ty cat

4:25 am

Atalante, soppy? Not sure on that, but I can say he's very loving.

4:25 am

They really are wonderful animals Ata...Love the name Rothko!

4:26 am

what's his name, Deutsch?

4:26 am

does anyone have the de5/12? It seems to be hiding from me.

4:26 am

Maddie, EN plus the 2nd letter of your name, plus T plus 2nd vowel :)

4:27 am

i best be off after the e clues because dinner is neally ready!!

4:27 am

pits have a bad rep, but that's just a reflection on the owners.

4:27 am

pits have a bad rep, but that's just a reflection on the owners.

4:27 am

the people next door are arty people, so they have Rothko, then their cats are Coco (Chanel), Kandinsky, Gilbert and George. I got my kit from them and she was originally called Bridget (O'Reilly) and another kit in Coco's litter was Frida (Kahlo). All very artisty!

4:28 am

I'm *sure* - people make their dogs

4:28 am

Maddie,,,EN plus the 3rd letter of my name plus 3rd vowel plus first vowel

4:28 am

ty cat i need 1 more i think.

4:28 am

is that right?? 1 more??

4:29 am

ty cat...is that all???

4:29 am

Agreed, PEOPLE do make the dog. Rotts get a bad rap because of the inhumane handlers, it's a pity, they are wonderful faithful lovely dogs.

4:29 am

Atlante, what a coincidence, a friend has a cat named Kandinski

4:29 am

yes Maddie, just clued the 3rd one, look down :)

4:29 am

yes i know i have that ty

4:29 am

wow! that really is a coincidence!

4:29 am

I almost named my cat Kafka

4:30 am

I've known a couple of rotties. Very nice dogs and people.

4:30 am

what?......28 t words and i only have 7!!! any clues for them???

4:30 am

but since my kittie is a girl, Kafka didn't quite fit

4:30 am

cat do you have all of the t words??

4:31 am

and I feel so sorry for Rothko. One day he's going to get into trouble, I just know it. He's like a big puppy with me cos I used to walk him every day with my dog and he knows I love him. But his owners don't seem to care much about him, and now he doesn't get enough walks or enough attention, and a few months ago, he bit someone really badly. And I just *know* its his owners' fault

4:31 am

My cat's name is Hester, an anagram of Esther, but also named for Hester Prynne

4:32 am

can i please have some clues for the t words cat???

4:32 am

Which T words are you looking for Maddie? I have 1 of the first T, 9 of the second and 3 of the last

4:32 am

Atalante, that is so sad. dogs want to be good, I believe

4:32 am

I agree Deutcsh, animals aren't evil by nature

4:32 am

i am looking for a lot of them kitty!!

4:33 am

Yes Maddie, I will clue you some in a minute ok? I need to make some tea, Kitty also said she will clue you a couple :)

4:33 am

dogs just want to be loved

4:33 am

ok ty

4:33 am

so true, atalante

4:34 am

Okies, T-words: When you're about 11 to 19 years old, you're known as a te**

4:35 am

Good morning all. Another brilliantly sunny day here.

4:35 am

can you please give clues like cat gives them cause i understand them better!!!

4:35 am

And when you're feeling sleepy, you are ti***

4:35 am

ah, okies

4:35 am

Hi Haz!

4:36 am

Hi Haz!

4:36 am

well the te4/4 word has two of the same letters in the middle

4:36 am

hi Haz :)

4:36 am

And how is the grid treating everyone today?

4:37 am

ok dont worry kitty cause i have to go now anyway

4:37 am

Maddie, t plus 4th vowel twice plus t. Another..t plus 2nd vowel plus N plus T. Another...t plus 3rd vowel plus R plus 4th vowel :)

4:37 am

Haz, ugh on the grid.

4:37 am

I went almost straight to the list, Haz - not feeling very patient today

4:37 am

ahh ok, bye Maddie :)

4:37 am

Oh dear! That sounds ominous.....

4:37 am

You're better at clueing that way than I am Cat :)

4:38 am

I'm at 48 words and haven't gone to the list yet!

4:38 am

B'bye Maddie

4:38 am

bye all

4:38 am

Kitty, She understands it better, I tried the clueing way, she didn't understand, so I do it this way.

4:39 am

and happy babbling!!!! i will probably be on tomorrow so i will speak then!!! bye for now!!!!!!!!!!

4:39 am

I never use the list, but then I rarely finish either :)

4:39 am

bye Maddie!!

4:39 am

Is hershy in the house at the moment?

4:39 am

ty for all your help everyone!!!!!

4:40 am

bye, maddie, Hi exWren!

4:40 am

you're welcome Maddie

4:40 am

It would be very early for her, ex-Wren. - happy birthday for yesterday, by the way.

4:40 am

I can't get my head out of the clueing way... my brain just doesn't seem to want to bend any other way... Or then I just need to have breakfast to jump start the noggin'

4:40 am

Hi Wren! Did you have a good day yesterday? Hurshy generally comes on later, afternoon our time

4:40 am

I had a hard time too, but then just gave away the consonants and clued the vowels

4:42 am

I kind if hate to do it that way, don't want to give it away to others, but that is all she understood.

4:42 am

*of

4:43 am

I like Kitty's sort of clues better - Maddie needs to be more patient and think about them, that's all.

4:44 am

true amanda, I tried and tried to clue, but she kept saying she didn't understand. I think she is just really young.

4:44 am

I think it's difficult to know what level to pitch clues at when people really don't know even simple words. The young ones seem to want results without putting in their own effort. BUt that's life!

4:44 am

Thank you for your good wishes. Yes I had a good day, did some gardening in the morning, then hubby took me out to lunch. Two of my sons came around later with some of the grandchildren. A grandson and granddaughter came around independently, and my eldest son phoned from the US (working for a few days), so little time for babble. only managed 62 words! I though hershy was logged in.

4:44 am

True Haz!

4:45 am

she leaves herself logged in generally I think

4:45 am

Good to know you had a good day. Hurshy, like me, may stay logged in all the time, even when not here.

4:45 am

I stay logged in all the time also

4:46 am

So do I, I can never be bothered to log out

4:46 am

same here

4:47 am

Maddie is young - MrP's and Lickety's littlie, if I'm not mistaken. Still, I think she's old enough to understand "if you're between 13 and 18 years old, you are a te**"

4:48 am

I agree, seemed obvious to me, but she couldn't grasp it.

4:48 am

*refresh* for very happy (and muddy) spaniel at the beach last night

4:48 am

Is she really trying to understand the clues or is she just impatient and wants the words right off?

4:49 am

OK, I just wanted hershy to chech out my icon. It's for Hershys Chocolate!

4:49 am

I'm not sure Kitty. I am thinking they want them handed to them, I could be wrong.

4:50 am

I'm willing to bet she just wanted to get the word in and not take the time to think about it. It's so hard to get kids to understand that "winning" isn't the point of the game

4:50 am

I just have a hard time believing that she doesn't understand the clues, how ever simple they might be

4:51 am

Atalante - I love it! That tongue hanging out and the look of contentment!

4:51 am

Maybe we should simply ask MrP!

4:51 am

Exactly Amanda, if winning was the point, I would never play! LOL I rarely finish, but thats ok, I enjoy the game and everyday I learn at least one new word.

4:51 am

Atalante! happy puppy! and a cutie!

4:51 am

she was having such a wonderful time! running through the very squelchy mud and chasing seagulls!

4:52 am

Spangle has a thing about chasing birds as well. The triumph of hope over experience!

4:52 am

I am thinking she doesn't understand the half words with the **** in them, that the *** are what you need to add to make the word, thats the impression I got.

4:52 am

Oh, hi Ata! I missed you as I was busy analyzing the minds of children - something I actually know next to nothing about.

4:52 am

Oh, such a happy puppy! :D

4:53 am

the perfect way to put it, Haz! Hobbit loves chasing them even when they are high in the sky. I keep telling her not to bother, but ....

4:53 am

is it actually possible to analyse children's minds? lol

4:54 am

hi everybody! i've been lurking and trying to get through the list, still have 12 left!

4:54 am

that's after going through the list!

4:54 am

I have 39 left and a HUGE headache lol

4:54 am

My pup barks at birds. He's very jealous that he can't fly. He tries by jumping off the deck (the deck is only two feet from the ground)

4:54 am

Hi fran!!

4:54 am

Hello FranMag - you'll be able to clue the rest of us then.

4:54 am

Wow, fran, that's excellent!

4:55 am

haz, i'll help with what i can until i get too sleepy

4:55 am

is there a secret to the z words?

4:55 am

Hi Fran!

4:55 am

hi again cat!

4:55 am

Hello Haz, Hello Fran

4:55 am

Hi Atlante

4:55 am

manic, one z is a greek letter

4:55 am

manic, not if you know greek and japanese!

4:55 am

hi preethi

4:55 am

Hello preethi - are you well today?

4:56 am

awwww deutsch - that must be remarkably amusing to watch!

4:56 am

let me know if you want clues manicmama!

4:56 am

Wow! Breaking announcement - CNN has *new video* of Zarkawi's DNA! Geez, that's something the world needs to see!

4:56 am

the zo was actually very easy for me, almost identical to my Grandmothers name.

4:56 am

ze4/9 - middle name of Catherine, wife of Michael Doublas

4:56 am

And the second Z is a japanese sandal

4:57 am

It's a scream, Atalante! He takes this flying leap. At first, we thought he would go over the gate, but he's too muscle bound.

4:57 am

Douglas,even

4:57 am

video of DNA? that must be - um - fascinating viewing!

4:57 am

Iam doing good. Thank you. How have you been Haz?

4:57 am

Boy, let me tell you! Did you know that DNA looks like a military duffle bag? I certainly didn't!

4:57 am

I've been pretty busy the past few days but the sun is shining so everything looks good.

4:58 am

I knew that amanda, mine looks like a denim backpack :)

4:59 am

got both of the z's thanks you guys

4:59 am

at least you've got DNA in the news. All we've had for the last week is Wayne Rooney's foot

4:59 am

I think mine looks like a pink straw basket

4:59 am

lol

5:00 am

who is wayne rooney

5:01 am

did anyone get the at6/18?

5:01 am

Ata - I've got CNN international running in the background. Otherwise I'd only have Michael Ballack's calf

5:01 am

wayne rooney is a footballer, who broke a bone in his foot. which was national trauma and has occupied the news for weeks

5:01 am

no to the at 6

5:02 am

I havent Fran, missing that one

5:02 am

urf. Ballack's calf must be just as boring

5:02 am

Atalante, was rooney set to play in the world cup?

5:02 am

He's considered to be the star player for the team.

5:03 am

I am in US ...but I understand....sometimes the media goes gaga over the most trivial of news

5:03 am

Ooh, then I'm sorry to hear that.

5:03 am

the at6 is when you are absorbed in somthing, you are at**** upon it. Or where the sleeping bag is when camping.

5:03 am

of the scale that the general opinion is that we'll win the world cup with him, and not without him *sigh*

5:03 am

He's not nearly as decorative as some of the other team members, but he is a good player (so they say).

5:04 am

thanks amanda! i thought i had tried that!

5:04 am

And yes, Ballack's calf is quite boring - but at least he's cuter than Wayne Rooney. Or decorative, as Haz says

5:04 am

Rooney certainly isn't very decorative. Thank goodness for the Italians!

5:05 am

found the at7/28, anyone want a clue?

5:05 am

oooo the Italians! I generally like to look at the Dutch boys, too. And the South Americans almost always have plenty to offer.

5:05 am

I'm with you on that one, Atalante!

5:05 am

yes please fran

5:06 am

the at7/28 becomes the 8

5:06 am

If it's free, we'll take it Fran!

5:06 am

still looking for the sleeping bag

5:06 am

Thanks amanda, got it :)

5:07 am

But no Paulo Maldini this time round. That's a serious blow to the attractiveness of the World Cup

5:07 am

at7/28, it's related to a the word at****ion that means to reduce personnel by just letting them leave and not replacing them

5:07 am

CNN has this "put together your own best team of all time" thingy going. I've considered sending in the best-looking players ever in, just to see if they'd publish it!

5:07 am

manic, just as she clued ...at plus what you put your sleeping bag in while camping, or, a pup ****

5:08 am

at7/28, at + overused, the 8 is the past tense of it

5:08 am

I'd like to see that, Amandacath!

5:08 am

think you should, amanda. nothing wrong with utter shallowness and ogling at footballers :)

5:09 am

they are great clues...when you remember there are TWO A's in the grid...8-)

5:09 am

Ohhhhh, they have some gorgeous footballers don't they!!

5:10 am

Got them - thank you.

5:10 am

I try to be as utterly shallow as possible when submitting myself to football. It's the only way to counterbalance the life-and-death earnestness of so many people (read: men).

5:10 am

Well, I think I'll toddle off to bed. see y'all later (unless you're watching the footballers! I hope to)

5:11 am

Bye Deutsch - sleep well.

5:11 am

bye Deutsch :)

5:11 am

See ya deutch!

5:11 am

night deutsch

5:13 am

does anyone have the 2nd en5/10? I've got the "on the mother's side" one, and ma monkeys just can't find the other one

5:14 am

en plus spanish aunt?

5:15 am

bad monkeys! thx cat!

5:15 am

good morning everyone! This looks like a real stinker. Small and mean.

5:15 am

lol, you're welcome amanda, my monkey misbehaves all the time ! :)

5:16 am

good morning Eva!

5:16 am

Mornin' Eva! I pulled up the list after about 40 words - no patience today

5:16 am

Good morning Eva. I've got to 68 but am thinking of the list. The t letter is entirely over-represented.

5:18 am

since when is L4/5+y not a word!?

5:18 am

I tried that as well, amanda.

5:19 am

I wondered that too

5:19 am

I just tired "doody" and giggled while doing so :D

5:19 am

lol

5:19 am

I'm feeling very mature today

5:20 am

hee-hee!

5:20 am

lottie and dottie, the tottie sisters aren't allowed in either.

5:20 am

lottie and dottie who own a rottie, even!

5:21 am

Yes!

5:21 am

yes, and it won't go pottie

5:21 am

Totti should be accepted today, in honor of the World Cup

5:22 am

Totti should be accepted any day LOL

5:22 am

i tried zoot, for the old time "zoot suits"

5:23 am

I tried zoot too, several times

5:23 am

Very true, very true Ata. There were a couple of days about a month ago when they weren't sure he was going to make the team. I thought I was going to have to suffer through the world cup without him!

5:23 am

Its bad enough within Maldini, but without Totti too? Unthinkable!

5:24 am

Zoot should be a word, nooooo, instead the have words like krooni LOL

So do we request a world cup grid!??

5:24 am

*they

5:24 am

mrpresident! Good evening!

5:24 am

hi mrp!!!

5:25 am

Hi MrP! Yes, let's!

5:25 am

Nooo! no offence to any and all footy fans here, but I can't stand football (or much any sports really)

Hello everyone!!

5:25 am

Hello mr P!

5:26 am

good morning everybody:)

5:26 am

Hi jean

5:26 am

Good morning, jean.

5:26 am

Hi jean

5:26 am

morning mrp.

5:27 am

Morning Jean

5:28 am

what an annoying puzzle!

frustrating as heck!

5:29 am

can someone clue me on the 7 letter words please, first 2 letters. I have only ran across one so far, it's

5:29 am

the at7

5:29 am

at and di. dont know the other yet

5:30 am

AAAAARGH!

5:30 am

thanks Ata, will search for the di

5:30 am

there is a TE7.32

5:30 am

Morning all. Just come to write out the grid. Seems from chat it's not a nice one?

5:30 am

thanks lynxxx!

5:30 am

morning jacula

5:30 am

thanks lynxxx!

there is a di7 meaning *same here* past tense

5:31 am

clue for the te?

5:31 am

Hi Jac! I'm finding it a bit trying.

5:32 am

Still lurking at work doing a few words ...no PC at home (being repaired) so I face a weekend of no Babble ! Think I'm hooked?

5:32 am

Check out my icon.:-)

5:33 am

Giggle giggle, Jac! Good one!

5:34 am

TeeHee! That's a funny one Jacula

5:34 am

thanks mrp, got it!

5:34 am

I second the request for a hint for the te7

atalante, the te is stupid ! ... it includes the ro4 meaning past tense of ride

5:35 am

thanks mrp! I could have sworn I'd tried that before!

5:35 am

thanks mrp. Have no idea what it means, but that's true of many of the words in thi grid

5:37 am

Thanks for the di7 mrpresident.

5:37 am

30 to go. now I'm going to go and cuddle my pup for a bit! back later :)

no probs!

5:37 am

nice icon Jacula

5:38 am

this ro6/18 grid is going to leave me with dr5/12 all over my chin!

5:39 am

morning...

5:39 am

morning angel

hello angelsong!

5:39 am

Good morning Angelsong.

5:39 am

I want teeze, doze, roze , neeze and a BR for breeze!

5:39 am

Morning Angel *sings "of the morning, angel"*

5:39 am

hi jacula, angelsong, pinecone, eva!

5:39 am

morning angelsong :)

5:39 am

good morning angelsong

5:40 am

hi fran

5:40 am

you *can* have one of those, cat

5:40 am

cat-the do one does indeed exist

5:40 am

yikes, sorry LOL I missed that one!

5:40 am

cat said a word!! ;-)

5:41 am

I'm hoping today is calmer than yesterday. I fell getting out of bed, and was on the floor for a while before I could get up. I wasn't hurt, but I was shaken up. very nervous the rest of the day.

5:41 am

The cheap and gaudy ta6/39 may sound like Miss Hepburn, but she was never this.

5:41 am

lol Fran

5:41 am

Oh dear, Angel! Hope you're feeling better

5:41 am

nice clue haz!

poor angel!! hope today is better!

5:41 am

oh angel-how frightening. Why did you fall?

5:42 am

That was the first word I saw today, Haz. Yesterday my first words were "fine ar**" - I'm beginning to be concerned about myself!

5:42 am

i hope there were no after affects angelson!

5:43 am

i want detente to be in this grid!

5:43 am

or after effects, i mean.

5:43 am

I put my chair too close to the bed, and couldn't get past it to get my feet under me. D U M B.

5:44 am

oh Lo**y, why can't I use that?

5:44 am

this grid is making me cranky. Think I'll go feed Merp and take a bath and see if it looks any better when I return.

5:44 am

Poor Angel! You'd best take it easy today. (((HUGS)))

5:44 am

i tried also cat!!

5:44 am

later eva!

5:45 am

I tried to work yesterday, but I was shaking so much I couldn't type. so I gave up. I'll work Saturday to make up the time.

5:45 am

Hope all is well (((angel)))

5:45 am

We'll try and shake it around Eva.

5:45 am

bye eva

5:45 am

jacula, love your new icon!

5:45 am

good thing I finished yesterday's grid very early.

5:45 am

anyone have the de5/12?

yep... de + what you breath

5:46 am

also the chat log is screwing up again for me. I keep having to reload-long gaps.

5:46 am

now I do. Thx, MrP!

5:46 am

you're kidding! what kind of word is that? thanks mrp!

a dumb frustrating word and this is taking too long!!

5:48 am

te7?

5:48 am

i need that one too angelsong

5:48 am

te7 - a four-poled battery?

5:49 am

te plus past tense of tread and a vowel ending

5:49 am

great clue amanda!!

5:50 am

glad it worked!

5:51 am

I blame my bad progress with the gird on the fact that they're FINALLY installing our doors, thus there is a lot of drilling and banging going on

5:52 am

that's as good a reason as any kittyvane!

5:52 am

how many words are there today please?

5:52 am

131 jean

5:52 am

If we had another r we could all have a torrid time. Perhaps it's just as well it's not there.

not enough!! 131

5:52 am

We've been waiting for our bedroom and living room doors for a few months now

5:53 am

thanx franmag & mr president

5:53 am

oops, that should be do**s ;)

5:53 am

tetria = tendonitis from too much tetris-playing

5:54 am

i think i've actually had that amanda! ;-)

what a beauty word amanda!

guess what!!?

5:54 am

ooh, kitty said a word! ;-)

5:55 am

you're done?

5:55 am

What, mrpresident?

like a dogs dinner!! *~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

5:55 am

yay mrpresident!!

5:56 am

Yay for mr P! :D

5:56 am

Congratulations!

5:56 am

congratulations mrp

5:56 am

Congrats, MrP!

5:56 am

my finger-joints are thoroughly shot from typing and clicking. Or else it's arthritis setting in...

This grid was way hard!! thank you all!! Willing and able to clue now!!

5:57 am

de6/21?

5:57 am

MrP - Maddie is your little one, isn't she?

de6/21 take and hold onto

5:58 am

Good Morning all....and congrats MrP

5:58 am

Hi Kallia!

5:58 am

good morning kallia

Amanda, Maddison is my little one... Maddie is a young one from mps school

5:58 am

I have Babble-rhitis too Amandacath

5:59 am

I'm at the halfway mark. Time to have something to eat. BRB

6:00 am

MrP: would you like me to post a link to your website on the Resource page?

6:00 am

Ah - well then, never mind!

my website? I have to go create one!! Let me get onto it and will email it to you!

amanda, what did maddie do??

6:01 am

MrP: I thought you had one already?

I have been given strict instructions for the kids from mps and I need to know what is going on there... so if they are misbehaving, please let me know.

Angel, I have a business one, but not a personal one... I would rather create a personal one and give that to you. Is that OK?

6:03 am

Oh, she wasn't misbehaving, she was just not trying hard enough to understand the clues given to her. At least that's what we suspected, and after musing back and forth on the subject, I thought it would be easiest to simply ask her mother if that were the case.

6:03 am

mrp,,,,, they dont realise the dangers of the web and one keeps giving names out!!

6:04 am

sure, MrP. but it's ok to post the commercial one. see the other links on the resource page for babblers' sites.

OH, those kids are 11 or 12 and they are very sweet, but they are young and don't understand the clues! I have to say they just don't have the maturity to understand the nature of chat. you are right mickie, they will be suspended if they continue to do that! and they have been warned. I hope they calm down soon

6:05 am

aargh! thanks mrp, finally got that clue, i'm being really dense!

6:06 am

I must be denser, because I haven't gotten it yet

de6 - if you break the law, the police de**** you (hold you) and gather the facts

6:07 am

i had a real strange encounter with some one the other night who pretended to know me!!!! but didnt know my name so its not just the kids

6:08 am

Thanx, Mr. P. now not so dense! I am off to curves to work out. bbl

6:08 am

Do they really not understand the clues, or are they just not willing to take the time to think about them? I mean, a clue like "If you're between 13 and 18 you are a te**" isn't that complicated ... or?

6:09 am

later phandmd

6:09 am

am off for a while folks hopefully bbl have a good day everyone:)

6:10 am

just got the dr6/27, it should make for some interesting clues, there is no def at dictionary.com

6:10 am

bye phan, bye jean

6:10 am

later jean

6:10 am

bye jean

6:10 am

I keep seeing "totoro" in the grid :D

6:11 am

kitty, if you haven't tried already, part of that word works

6:11 am

dr6/27 - an arid piece of land? Hmmm, that's boring. Will have to mull that one over...

6:11 am

I have that word

6:12 am

hence I came about To**** :)

6:13 am

Oh, I give up - anyone have the te5/12?

6:13 am

amanda, i was thinking it was related to dr* goods at a supply store or something

6:13 am

Going to take a break. I'll be back later.

6:14 am

amanda, rhymes with stained

6:14 am

Mr Clemens is back in the grid.....

6:14 am

maybe a bunch of people with no sense of humor? "My, this is a d6!"

6:14 am

later haz!

6:15 am

that's a good one amanda! i liked the other one too though

6:15 am

Off to lala land, bye everyone, have a great day/night/afternoon :)

6:15 am

night cat!

6:16 am

Ah! found the te - didn't see that e up at the top!

6:16 am

Thx, Fran

6:17 am

evening all...

6:18 am

gm everyone how many words today?

6:18 am

in6/18? i have the intuitive one

6:18 am

131 judy

6:18 am

what does the 8 start with please

6:18 am

hi kathy and judy

6:18 am

thank you fran

6:18 am

at kallia

6:19 am

in6 - where you sleep when camping

6:19 am

ty fran...in6/18...meaning to.

6:20 am

thanks amanda and kallia, i can't believe i missed that one!

6:20 am

i see it now, i zigged when i should have zagged!

sorry, phone rang! the kids don't get those clues at all... we do but they don't I don't bother to clue the kids cause they generally have no patience, but if it is really easy like "I to** you so!" I give that to them!

6:21 am

there is lfe after the T's.

6:22 am

hmmm, thanks mrP

6:22 am

my new phantom word, trident

6:22 am

got the 8 ty Fran :)

I so sound like a mum!! I to** you so!!

6:22 am

awesome kallia!

6:23 am

am struggling with 45 to go

6:23 am

all those t's get in the way!

6:23 am

oh! whoops, i get it now...

6:23 am

i have 3 left, still struggling!

6:23 am

I have 65 to go and I'm struggling already!

6:23 am

well done Fran :)

6:23 am

I may have to get the list soon

6:24 am

60 left an droppin slowly

6:24 am

i hit the list after 83 words, i was totally stuck

6:24 am

I'm hating the Ts with a passion

I have to let you all know! Lickety wants to take a break from the clue list...

6:25 am

My phantom today is troll. I'm never sure whether to clue the kids or not - if it seems like they're really trying, I hate not to encourage them, but it does get frustrating. There are good reasons I'm neither a mother nor a teacher!

and bab anon has no stat list at the moment. I told him it might be a bit of a bother.... no stats at all

6:25 am

would that be to do with patience Amanda?

6:25 am

:)

6:26 am

mrp - you must be jesting - right?

6:26 am

Oh no! I'm lost without the list! And BJ was on last night and said he'd quit doing his because lickety's was so good!

6:26 am

Brandy Jack not doing it anymore?

6:26 am

brandyjack was on earlier and didn't think anyone was using his list anymore, a lot of people told him to start doing it again

6:26 am

And yes, Kallia - patience is not one of my virtues!

6:27 am

mine neither so recognise the trait :)

6:27 am

how can we persuade him to keep doing in - for the sanity of us babblers :)

6:27 am

Any clues for the other word for the second N? I have the one meaning not messy.

6:27 am

oh, amandacath! i always thought you were so patient. just because us kids dont get things...

6:28 am

maybe lickety and brandy jack could get a rota going?

6:28 am

kitty, like something you catch butterflies with, just double the last letter

6:28 am

weight after all packaging is removed Kitty

6:28 am

Kitty - the other 'n' is your wages after tax etc is taken.

6:28 am

Thank you Fran!

is brandy jack backing out?? I didn't know that! where is this in the log... I have to look!

6:29 am

kallia said a word!! ;-)

6:29 am

and Jacula too

6:29 am

mrp, he said he hadn't been updating because he didn't think anyone needed his list anymore.

why would brandyjack not do it anymore

6:30 am

100 words down!

6:30 am

go angelsong!

6:30 am

Kathy, that's why I generally stay out of it. I don't hold it against you, it's my fault for not being patient enough.

6:30 am

maybe because lickety is perceived to be the one to use?

yesterday, I heard he was on holiday for a couple of weeks! I have no idea what is going on there!!

6:30 am

Maybe he felt sidelined?

Did he say that jac?

6:31 am

Dunno, MrP. I didn't see the log.

6:31 am

ok...

6:32 am

brandyjack's list is needed! I hope he continues doing it.

6:32 am

tr5/20 anyone?

6:32 am

we need to tell him that Angelsong

6:32 am

Brandjack you cannot imagine how much I miss your list! I like the way it is set up. I know it is a lot of work but we totally use and appreciate it.

6:33 am

tr+ 1st 3 letters of the "seep" word.

Oh my - I'll have to quit babble without the list :(

6:33 am

I jumped on late last night to finish, and BJ popped in. He didn't seem insulted, but you never know. I use lickety's basically 'cause it's easier to get to.

6:33 am

I imagine it's quite a responsibility to be relied upon my so many to provide stats come what may. What happens if you're ill or away? A ro** of two or more would be ideal for the stat providers, I imagine.

6:33 am

thanks dianne, got it just as your clue came up, never thought to go that way!

6:33 am

Just a suggestion.

6:35 am

I mentioned that a few mins ago Jacula...its where I said a word lol...was searching like mad and didn't see what word it was until you posted! doh!!!

6:35 am

That's a wierd word - any clue what it means? (the tr5/20, I mean)

6:36 am

there is no def at dictionary.com, i'll try somewhere else.

I just chatted to Lickety, brandyjack and him have never talked... suggestion noted, but not on the cards.

6:36 am

Good Morning All..

6:36 am

Hi Aly!

6:36 am

ummm Aloy, that is

so no clue list for a couple of weeks?? I guess brandyjack would have to come back!

6:37 am

morning Aloy...well afternoon here :)

6:37 am

I am relieved to hear that BJ is not ill, but it saddens me to think that he might think his list is unappreciated.

6:37 am

tr5/20 def from wikipedia: a municipality located in the Belgian province of Liège

6:38 am

It used to take me SO long to complete a grid - it is doable without lists, but just barely (if you have a life!)

6:38 am

Maybe if people put their thoughts, suggestions, appreciation of BJ on his stats thread on BabAnon he might have a re-think?

6:38 am

MrP is lickety not going to do the list for a couple of weeks? There would be no 'have to' about Brady Jack coming back though

6:38 am

i didn't think proper nouns were allowed so it must mean something else in enable

I can easily make lickety ill for a couple of weeks! perhaps BJ would reconsider if you all let him know he is needed

6:38 am

I like the organization of both lists; BJ's h as the synopsis at the top which I use before going to the more detailed list.

6:39 am

And that's me finished! Argh, that can't be it, Fran .... will go hunting for it

6:39 am

yay amanda!

6:39 am

Wow, hurray for amandacath!

6:39 am

wd amanda :)

6:39 am

I have am stuck already on the 'at' words. I am not seeing something. Is there a clue here. The vowels don't seem connected to the right consonants at all.

6:39 am

MrP - That's rather worrying! You're not planning to poison poor Lickety, are you?? LOL

6:39 am

Well done Amanda!

6:39 am

to6/21 and to6/18?

6:39 am

Well done, Amanda!

6:40 am

merk, except for the last two they are unrelated to each other

6:40 am

to6/21 - it when your blown your horn,

6:41 am

of course it is dianne! i was looking in the wrong direction again. thanks!

6:41 am

Thanks, Dianne. I hadn't thought to work backwards on that word.

6:41 am

to6/18 - think of the word that means make a hem and instead of an s start it with a t.

6:41 am

only did it with the list - it's a trying grid today

6:42 am

first at5/10 is roman courtyard

Well, if BJ and Lickety do no list, what for you all?? I have been planning plenty for Lickety!! And doing clue lists everyday is not what I had planned for him!! He only does it because he loves to and thinks you guys appreciate it. If his list is better received than BJ, so be it, But BJ is his own person and he knows how many hits he is getting. Hope he reconsiders.

6:42 am

A clue for at 5/10 and on please?

6:42 am

well we can go back to the old way....just clue it :)

6:43 am

thanks dianne, will ponder that clue

6:43 am

merk, clue at 6:42

6:43 am

found the def for tr5/20 - alt spelling for "close-fitting tartan trousers"

6:44 am

Kallia - True. Many of us do all, or the majority, of the grid that way but use the lists for really 'stuck' words. Those who like the lists from the start might be troubled, though.

6:44 am

lOL amanda.. now everyone should have that in their vocabs!

6:44 am

well done Amanda...was thinking it might be something like that ! Thank you for the info :)

6:44 am

Yes Jacula I see that could be a problem.....

6:45 am

Thanks, I typed that in Fran, but I don't know how it is there. I couldn't get to my final letter. I must need coffee before I do this.

6:45 am

How did we manage pre-google?

6:45 am

Badly I'd say

6:45 am

Amanda - we used those paper things called books! LOL.

6:45 am

well I hae got one word in the last 30 mins...

6:45 am

merk, it starts from the bottom A, so do the other ATs

6:45 am

It really boils down to how much TIME you have for Babble in a day; I love to chat and interact, but I lurk when I am pressed for time (that is most of the time, unfortunately)...

6:46 am

atrial

6:46 am

I do that too Aloy

6:46 am

Fran - think of the opp of lengthen - but drop the s and add a t.

6:46 am

Hi Kallia..

6:46 am

I was wondering only the other day how many public libraries Google has put out of business.

6:47 am

I just stated a new thread in BA under General for the Babble "Lists"....

6:47 am

thanks dianne! got that one and my fireworks!

6:47 am

Dianne thank yo for that clue :)

6:47 am

books - ah yes, I remember the days...

6:47 am

Jacula... think of the poor dinosaurs called encyclopedia salesmen!

6:47 am

WD Fran :)

6:48 am

Yay, FranMag!

6:48 am

Aloy - No loss! The old Brittanica chaps who took over people's homes for hours. LOL

6:48 am

Angel - Will look in a bit.

6:48 am

Yes, I remember...

6:48 am

Oh my Jacula...I remember those too!

6:48 am

Good grief, I am so blind sometimes. I've been starting with the wrong 'a'. "I saw the light."

I spoke to Lickety...

6:50 am

Why isn't 'roly' a word? What about jam roly poly? Or those large ladies who dance?

6:50 am

I still can't read much on the screen. The info just doesn't seem to soak in. I can't concentrate on the screen like I can on paper

6:50 am

I have not been here long. I noticed the tale end of the Lickety conversation. Is he quitting his page? And I don't know the other J link at all. where is that?

6:51 am

good grief Jacula...are they still around?

6:51 am

Amanda - I'm glad it's not just me. I always sayI think better with a pen in my hand.

6:51 am

Kallia - not sure.

6:51 am

MrP - What did he say?

6:52 am

I actually still use a proper paper dictionary when I babble, it's easier for me to look for words there than go through word lists on online

6:52 am

anyone mps?

6:53 am

What is mps?

6:53 am

although I have gotten quite addicted to the little dictionary widget OSX has

6:53 am

a school, merk. i'll say no more

his list gets hundreds of hits a day and he will continue to produce the list as long as people come to it... and he will produce it at the flip cause that is the most convenient time. Hope that helps.

6:54 am

Same here Jac! I took a web-design class a couple of years ago and found myself feeling really old as I was actually taking notes with pen and paper instead of in a Word document! And truly, I'm not *that* old...

6:54 am

i heart lickety's list

6:54 am

That is great news, MrP..(-:

6:55 am

Thanks MrP & Lickety. You will have made many people all around the world very ahppy!

6:55 am

*happy

6:55 am

tell him ty from us all MrP

6:55 am

I also like Licety's list, and I just went to it as I was getting utterly and totally stuck

6:55 am

Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou to Lickety!

6:56 am

So a great big thank you to Lickety!

6:57 am

I wish that pesky troll would go away LOL...keep seeing it!

6:57 am

I keep seeing nitrite..

6:57 am

That was my phantom too, Kallia!

6:57 am

Me, too, Kallia! (The troll.)

6:57 am

i keep seeing orzo!

6:58 am

Ah, it's the students from the other mornings. I think I am going for a walk, then a cup of coffee, and I can come back to this when I'm thinking more clearly. And thank you MrP and Lickety! Oodles!

6:58 am

hi all - my phantom is otter - keep seeing them everywhere!

good morning

6:58 am

I keep seeing "attire" and giggling at the non-word "doody"

Oh yeah! the smile said it all!!

7:54 am

I need help with di - 7 letters?

7:54 am

7:54 am

7:54 am

yes, indeed... MasterP is off to a fab start..

7:55 am

pay AT****ion! (at6)

7:55 am

di 7 = past tense of di 5

10:00 am

Kallia - I'm just back to find my last 10 whilst having a teabreak.

10:00 am

Yes, I was de**** by someone. Thanks.

10:00 am

10:00 am

y/w Merk.

10:01 am

aroint & anoint aren't in today's grid, Kallia. LOL.

10:01 am

LOL

10:01 am

I still have 48 to go... but it's my kids first day of summer break. I usually have the morning to myself

10:02 am

Jac - could you elaborate on that de6 clue plz?

10:02 am

that bottom O is stubborn...wont give up any words

10:02 am

specificity - I should make the most of it then!

10:02 am

Movieman - de6 - the police often do it to suspects.

10:03 am

Yup, movieman,then they retain them in custody

10:04 am

Kallia - there's a smelly word from that 'o'. (Think American spelling.)

10:04 am

Jac, that counts as coming from the top o.

10:04 am

ah thanks Jac...dratted Americnisms! :)

10:04 am

yep so it does lol

10:04 am

Got it, thanx all..... Gotta go, it's the opening ceremony of the World Cup......... BBL.......

10:05 am

Kallia - also a church calendar from that 'o'.

10:05 am

Kallia - also a church calendar from that 'o'.

10:05 am

Vicuna - didn't notice which 'o' it came off when I got it. It works either way, anyway.

10:05 am

Oops! Log's sticking.

10:06 am

'Bye Movieman.

10:06 am

I know, but I can't figure out either word from the bottom o, so it matters to me!

10:06 am

Okay, I got the one I presume to have to do with the church...

10:07 am

Vicuna - the church calendar works off the bottom 'o'. Or4/5.

10:07 am

me too Vicuna

10:07 am

The holy or6 works off either 'o'.

10:07 am

ty Jac got that now

10:09 am

the other rhymes ith booted

10:10 am

oo5/10 (Scots for chill & sad) works off bottom 'o'.

10:10 am

Aha! Thanks specificity!

10:10 am

Specificity - thanks! I didn't have the o5/12.

10:11 am

you're welcome

10:11 am

ty all...thats the O's away

10:12 am

good morning!

10:12 am

Now, *peers at screen*, let's see what I have left... 1 x a, 1 x i, 3 x t, 2 x d, 2 x l. Hmmm...

10:13 am

Good morning, jrh.

10:13 am

Good morning, jrh.

10:13 am

go Jac :)

10:13 am

i jrh

10:13 am

hi even!

10:13 am

the grid's awfully small today

10:13 am

good morning all

10:14 am

i may have to explore real life...

10:15 am

I'm trying to avoid real life today! I have 3 fighting munchkins and have already had to rescue the kitten twice!

10:15 am

good morning good morning all! jrh, still from Bhutan I see.... LOL

10:16 am

jrh -- the chatter last night was that though small this grid is mighty. Do not be deceived by appearances, young padawan! :-)

10:16 am

okay, that makes me feel better

10:16 am

bhutan is a lovely country in downtown kansas city

10:16 am

Wow, stidmama, you are so profound!

10:17 am

fighting munchkins would be great action figures

10:17 am

*grin* I know -- have you tried just changing your location in your profile?

10:17 am

seems like a lot effort

10:18 am

of course, I'm not really sure how to pronounce the "h" in Bhutan.

10:18 am

same as the h in "bedroom"

10:19 am

ROFLMAO Vicuna! that was very funny!

10:20 am

LOL!

10:20 am

Vic, here's your merit badge for cleverness.

10:20 am

wear it with pride :)

10:20 am

of course, jrh, you could always just learn about Bhutan and then let us know what's happening in "your" country...

10:21 am

I'd like to thank my director, and of course my wonderful family. And I could never have done it without the support of my great personal trainer, and...

10:22 am

great idea Stid, i've already learned they speak Dzongkha in Bhutan.

10:22 am

Dzongkha would be an excellent catch phrase.

10:23 am

Pre-kids I taught at a private all-girls' school, and three of the King of Bhutan's daughters attended there. (Although I never taught them myself.)

10:23 am

If anyone is interested in the results of yesterday's MyersBriggs discussion I put a link up to the results in my profile...

10:23 am

BUT -- how do I prounounce the D in Dzongkha? LOL

10:23 am

I have no answer for that one, stidmama! :)

10:24 am

I'm gonig for "da-zong-ka," cause that sounds cool.

10:24 am

cool story, vic.

10:25 am

that's interesting Vi -- hope that was a good experience for you (teaching at an all-girls school) scads of children in droves always terrify me... (my MyersBriggs score is right on... )

10:25 am

A princess of Jordan went there, too, although that was before my time. She returned as a graduation speaker one year.

10:25 am

and how shall we use our new word, jrh? like "huzzah" perhaps?

10:25 am

I was thinking in lieau of "yowser"

10:26 am

stid - since I can't get into ezboard at work anymore...what is your M-B type??

10:26 am

that sounds good to me! hmmm... daZONGka!

10:26 am

And yes, I absolutely loved it. It was my dream job and I was really bummed to give it up for kids. (But I wouldn't have been able to leave the kids to continue working, either.)

10:26 am

as in.. ahem, "What do you think of that jrh?" "That? Well, Dzongkha!"

10:26 am

I am INF and split 50/50 on P/J... hi EB!

10:27 am

As I recall, I score strongly introverted on Myers-Briggs, but kids don't scare me nearly as much as grown-ups.

10:27 am

that is so cool Vicuna! except having to choose between your own kids and that teaching job... assume you have kept teaching in various forms?

10:29 am

My mother is a teacher so I know about the parents and administration trials! I actually enjoy tutoring and have one literacy and other tutoring for 30 years... but the thought of extended contact with "groups" of any size whether child or adult does not energize me.

10:29 am

I'm an ENFJ with strong I & P tendencies...(big surprise, huh??) ; D

10:29 am

No, stidmama, I haven't really kept up the teaching, except Sunday school, which isn't the same at all. But instead I have been able to concentrate much more on my art "career," so that's been something of a compensation.

10:29 am

Finished!:)

10:29 am

YAY Jacula!

10:29 am

Cheers Jac!!

10:29 am

(anyone know what the theme is today...for some reason I can't get into Babbler's profile...)

10:29 am

Dzongkha, Jacula!

10:30 am

I'm an INTP on the Meyers-Briggs.

10:30 am

Hope you've all have a close look at my new icon?

10:30 am

Lovely chat this a.m., thanks all. Now, Jac, before you disappear--just a little help with de6/30?

10:30 am

*grin* actually, EB, that is one of the less common types so far!

10:30 am

cute Jacula!

10:30 am

and yes, I love your icon

10:30 am

Jacs...I just looked...ROFL!!!

10:30 am

that is sooo funny Jacula! where did you get that?

10:30 am

my nick is in this puzzle you know

10:30 am

its a sign!

10:31 am

stid - I was a corporate trainer & I love acting/singing/performing...

10:31 am

Today's theme is plates. Tomorrow's is 'How you feel when you finish a Babbl puzzle'.

10:31 am

Wyrd, but it's not a valid wyrd in the enable dictionary!!

10:31 am

so you are, Wyrd! congrats on making grid status! LOL and -- are you "wired" or "weird" or "word" ....?

10:31 am

thanks Jac!!

10:31 am

i know!

10:31 am

Stidmama - you can make them at the website shown on the icon.

10:32 am

its pronounced like weird

10:32 am

okay, I will go check them out later. :-)

10:32 am

Wyrd - I tried your name when I first started today's grid.

10:32 am

thanks. Can't promise to get it right all the time... ;-)

10:32 am

hehehe...me too Jacula

10:32 am

Just a flying visit - hetty, a poison which causes mortality would be de6/30

10:33 am

Hetty - de6/30 - lethal!

10:33 am

Wyrd, so did I, great status builder

10:33 am

So it would, Haz, I see it straight away. Fly into my life any time

10:33 am

Yeah, I've never been in a grid. Stidma was once, though.

10:35 am

my 'real' nickname is in here too...(Annie), but that doesn't work either...

10:35 am

Glad to help hetty - back I go to the joys of mail merge.

10:35 am

EB - Tried that, too!

10:35 am

hi/Bye Haz! see you later!

10:35 am

and zool..it should be a word, i saw it on ghostbusters!

10:36 am

Anymore clues required before I go back to the 'joy's of hutch-cleaning?

10:37 am

10:38 am

ed6 - newspaper chief

10:38 am

10:38 am

10:38 am

YUP, I'm done.

10:38 am

ah!

10:38 am

argh. wrap some fish in that newspaper please.... and thanks!

10:38 am

hurrah for Jac :)

10:39 am

I dislike grids with no S...

10:39 am

Stid, cod, trout, pilchards, salmon?

10:39 am

whichever you wish to get rid of Jac! I am in no position to be picky!

10:40 am

200 cans of tuna being thrown in your direction. LOL.

10:40 am

you collect tuna too? LOL

10:40 am

my hubby keeps coming back with the bogoffs....

10:40 am

*ouch* that landed on my pinky toe! :-)

10:40 am

(Not fond of tuna myself but my daughter kept buying multipacks and not eating it!)

10:41 am

Kallia - the bogoff's. Exactly!

10:41 am

and I think "doody" ought to count. my babies always did doodies when they were little....

10:41 am

same here

10:41 am

Sorry, Stid! Not kissing it better though! I don't 'do' feet. LOL.

10:42 am

bogof...buy one get one free stock your cupboards with things you will never eat lol

10:42 am

BTW, BJ was on last night, and has been convinced to bring back his list... (speaking of kissing feet)

10:42 am

s'okay Jacula, the German Shepherd Dog is getting it... along with the tuna juice that spilled1

10:43 am

MrP was saying that Lickety might be taking a break

10:43 am

well, he certainly deserves one...

10:44 am

Oh Help if he takes a break we are in trouble

10:44 am

no Tiny, then we just use BJ's list on Babbler's Anonymous...

10:45 am

ummm... an R from the right top corner? how?

10:46 am

think of an alternate spelling for LA police R***

10:46 am

Great thanks for that anyway 63 words I'm going to bed it is 1:45am here morning all

10:47 am

sleep well Tiny, see you later!

10:47 am

bye all

10:47 am

hm. specificity -- I am not from CA, and don't know much about police!

10:48 am

Hi All. How's it going today?

10:48 am

big news... people hurt

10:48 am

I got it! strange spelling. thanks.

10:48 am

Stid - I went and checked out literati. Looks like fun but my computer won't let it load. I'm going to have to have Greg look at it

10:48 am

hi music

10:49 am

oh, I love literati... but so many people use cheat programs it lost its fun for me

10:50 am

hi musicmom

10:50 am

hi musicmom! okay, well let us know if you can get on at some point and we'll set up a game. There are a number of babblers who set up private tables specificity -- would you like to be included in some? you can email me your yahoo ID and I'll let you know next time I know of a table getting set up.

10:51 am

oh, thanks, stid! that would be fun

10:51 am

I'll have him look at it tonight. It looks like I don't have the right java installed. He's my techie so I'll let him take care of it.

10:51 am

BTW I told you the wrong yahoo ID. I'm oumusmom.

10:52 am

okay, will add you to my "list" shall I also tell Woulf?

10:52 am

Time I went back to the grindstone (or rather the rabbit poo!). Happy Babbling all.x

10:52 am

any clues for the i's please..I have one 4, 5, 6

10:52 am

how's this grid today? It looks tough. I didn't start because I'm supposed to be practicing the dulcimer and my knot tying for camp next week.

10:52 am

Bye Jacula

10:52 am

that would be great if you would share it with woulf

10:53 am

ooh kallia trade you a 5 for your 6

10:53 am

okay, will do. hi hurshy!

10:53 am

ah but which 5 is it? :)

10:53 am

i have a 5 that is the beginning piece of something (it's really an abbreviation) and one that adds "your bill is past ***"

10:53 am

hi stid

10:54 am

yes, it's tough musicmom. but doable, I have heard.

10:54 am

6 is to do something with meaning

10:54 am

hi hurshy!! long time no see!! : )

10:54 am

later Jacula!

10:54 am

indue

10:54 am

oh fish! hi aunti!

10:54 am

ty it was the bill one I was missing,,,so one i left

10:54 am

ooooooooooooooooooooo!!! drat

10:55 am

I probably would have played if I had arisen early enough this morning but had a sinus headache and stayed in bed until Hannah was up.

10:55 am

me too kallia

10:55 am

Although I have to say I HATE grids without s so I'm not too sad to miss it.

10:55 am

musicmom, i have a knot tying kit...

10:55 am

did you get the 6 hurshy?

10:56 am

yup hence the oh fish!

10:56 am

I know all these knots but haven't used them in years. I want to make sure I remember how to do it before I have 26 4th grade Brownies who can't:-)

10:56 am

ah...thought that was for me typing a word in the chat lol

10:57 am

I pretty much have to be able to tie them forwards and backwards to help them learn them.

10:57 am

i don't know the knots... my husband gave me the knot tying kit when we got engaged... lol

10:57 am

LOL that's a great marriage gift!

10:57 am

think that's great hurshy!! original :)

10:58 am

Maybe I'll try to remember that for when my daughters get married. I'll give them to the future sons in law

10:58 am

that's very funny!

10:58 am

musicmom - square knot - right over left & under...left over right & under...

10:58 am

:)

10:59 am

east: granny knot is the opposite

10:59 am

Yep never forget that one EB. WE had neckties we had to wear when we were Jrs. that got tied that way

10:59 am

bhutan, wow

10:59 am

isn't that a reef knot Eastern?

11:00 am

i once wrote a poem called "the woe of the unknot"

11:00 am

that's a sorta joke hurshy... daZongka is being used now as a "yowser" type word, but it's the language spoken in Bhutan...

11:00 am

Kallia - maybe we call it different things on various sides of the pond??

11:00 am

Kallia - we have found through the years that knots are called by different names in different regions. Can be very confusing when working with large groups.

11:00 am

it was on the back of my multivariable calculus final, because my professor's specialty was knot theory

11:00 am

Has anyone out there found the dr6/27?

11:00 am

probably :)

11:00 am

LOL Hurshy!

11:01 am

yes I have that.....

11:01 am

hursh - that sounds like a very scary final to a former English major!!

11:01 am

dr 6/27 - two words... "arid area"

11:01 am

stid: joke? are you making fun of my country of origin? I'm a proud to be Bhutanese.

11:01 am

clue for dr6/27...arid building site

11:01 am

i was just disappointed that he didn't give me any points for my beauteous poem

11:01 am

Okay I need to go get to work. I'll probably be here tomorrow.

11:02 am

What can I do to make you offer a clue? (Note Hursh, I write poems too!)

11:02 am

never joke about countries of origin, jrh! only about the strange twists of fate that bring people to babble!

11:02 am

tomorrow musicmom!

11:02 am

11:07 am

11:07 am

11:09 am

That biblical clue was what I needed, thanks spec. Only it still doesn't work---

Hi Leslie...

12:04 pm

hurshy is signing 'school house rock again'

12:04 pm

like license plates or any plates?

12:04 pm

hi mtnjock!!! it's been ages since I've seen you!! : )

12:04 pm

ooh i want a picture of tectonic plates

12:05 pm

Leslie - I went with a license plate, but I'm sure it's broad enough to include dinner plates...

12:05 pm

or tectonic plates for hurshy!!

12:05 pm

home plate?

12:05 pm

haha- i just finished- i've reached home plate- now i can start my day!

12:05 pm

Bryan - as long as it's for the Yankees : )

12:06 pm

oh, that's a good one

12:06 pm

oh no Eastern Blue- I'm a Mets fan all the way!

12:06 pm

or a plate of glass...

12:06 pm

it's been nice speaking to you Bryan!! LOL!!

12:06 pm

refresh if you want the tectonic plates

12:07 pm

ro 5/12?

12:07 pm

beck... where the cowboys compete

12:07 pm

12:08 pm

OMG thank you!!

12:08 pm

oh give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play... where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day

12:08 pm

Bryan...sure...I mean you have SOME redeeming qualities if you Babble... 8 D

12:08 pm

Hi, everybody! How's the grid today?

12:09 pm

it's fine today BGL

12:09 pm

except for two T words...

12:09 pm

BGL - you & hurshy had the same idea...

12:09 pm

our 2 championships are very special to us - 26 is like, gaudy

12:09 pm

hurshy, you may want to reconsider your plate icon: http://www.simple.net/Ebay/Plates/Gall ery/PICARD.jpg

12:10 pm

lol leslie :)

12:10 pm

Eastern Blue- i can't win this argument, so I might as well spin it....

12:10 pm

now i'll make enemies of you both: BASEBALL IS SOOOO DULL

12:11 pm

Bryan - who said money can't buy happiness (or a few championships...)...it's really more for my hubby than me - he's the big Yankee fan...

12:11 pm

it's like, hmm, would i rather watch my fingernails grow or watch baseball? fingernails, no question.

12:11 pm

plus - you spell your name the 'right' way (my grandfather spelled his name that way too)...

12:12 pm

hurshy - the reason I love baseball is that I can do other things while my hubby watches it... : )

12:12 pm

has T7 been clued? It's my last word and I'm completely stuck.

12:12 pm

well that's a good reason :)

12:12 pm

i am so hurt i can't speak... sniffle

12:12 pm

My husband and I met in the parking lot after a baseball game (Padres vs GIants)

12:13 pm

*pats Bryan on back* there, there...

12:13 pm

hurshy has a point though- it is a slow and long game for spectator sports. baseball is fourth on my fave sports list actually. football comes first, hands down

12:14 pm

TE7/32 Nickname for Chinese New Year + RO 4/5

12:14 pm

give me college hockey & lacrosse (live - not on t.v.) and I'm happy....

12:15 pm

thanks EB! my mom likes baseball for the same reasons too - playoff hockey is good

12:15 pm

12:16 pm

yeah, and drooly

12:16 pm

time to go for me...happy babbling everyone - see ya tomorrow - I'm going to AC tonight so wish me luck ...(that's New Jerseyan for Atlantic City)

12:16 pm

and doodly

12:16 pm

bye Bryan...be careful of the the one-armed bandits!!

12:16 pm

Specificity, was that the T7 that you needed?

12:16 pm

Lordy was one of the first words I tried... it IS a word in my vocab!

12:17 pm

had to be merk, there's only one

12:17 pm

yes... but I'm just... brain-fried, lol

12:17 pm

ty, merk... I WILL find it

12:17 pm

haha i will blue... bye...

12:17 pm

grr my monkeys are not doing a very good job

12:17 pm

Think back to Vietnam and the Te* offensive war of Chinese New Year. 3 letter word. Add the ro4/5

12:18 pm

Yay! thanks merk!!!

12:18 pm

*hands hurshy some bananas* you have to remember to bribe them!!!

12:18 pm

Who are we bribing? I can be bought. Maybe for ice cream.

12:19 pm

Merk - hurshy's monkeys...she has 2 more t's to find & the monkeys aren't helping...

12:19 pm

there aren't more than 2 tw's, are there?

12:19 pm

which Ts, hurshy?

12:19 pm

Only two

12:19 pm

dunno specificity, a 4 and a 5, i'm listless

12:20 pm

We've had both used in the last while. tw 5. British, it was divided in tw***

12:20 pm

yes i have the tw's

12:21 pm

aha got the 4 at last! just one left then!

12:21 pm

Are the rankings changed when the new puzzle comes out or after you finish and get the fireworks?

12:21 pm

when the new puzzle comes out

12:21 pm

after the new puzzle

12:22 pm

i think it's about 10 minutes after the new puzzle

12:22 pm

wasn't olde in a puzzle a couple of days ago? Why sin't it now?

12:22 pm

no BGL, it's never taken though we always wish it were

12:22 pm

Because you can get more points if you change the last letter.

12:23 pm

It must have been in a recent crossword, then. I know I've used it recently

12:23 pm

Think of records when you listen to a golden ol**

12:23 pm

i have ta5/10, te 5/12, to5/10 x 2, to 5/12, 4 tr5 and tw5, which T5 might i be missing?

12:23 pm

Merk - what's a record?? *wink*

12:23 pm

has the 1 word for R been clued at all

12:23 pm

hurshy, for t5s, there are 1 TA, 1 TE, 3 TO, 5 TR, 1 TW

12:24 pm

aha, another TR then

12:24 pm

top right corner

12:24 pm

ok i have group of 3, attempted, commonplace, and...the end of the te7

12:25 pm

Ange - like a big fight, with police - but a different spelling...

12:25 pm

do you have the one with double vowles?

12:25 pm

Well, I'm leaving for another day. This puzzle wasn't bad, but I should learn never to start with the 'a's. I find them too discouraging when I'm not familiar with the puzzle.

12:25 pm

ryot

12:25 pm

shoot

12:25 pm

sorry

12:25 pm

That was an oops AngeC

12:26 pm

no specificity that must be it

12:26 pm

me too, merk

12:26 pm

Don't feel bad. That is so easy to do.

12:26 pm

bye Merk...

12:26 pm

good golly the last thing you'd ever think of!

12:26 pm

ok i'm done.

12:26 pm

yay hurshy!

12:26 pm

Bye See you tomorrow maybe, perhaps, possibly, who knows?

12:26 pm

huzzah for hursh!!

12:26 pm

woo hoo hurshy!!

12:26 pm

Congrats, hurshy!

12:26 pm

That makes three of us in the last minute or so. Congrats to all of us!

12:27 pm

nice job merk!

12:27 pm

my monkeys say "how did you expect us to think of that one?"

12:27 pm

woo hoo Merk!!

12:27 pm

your monkeys talk??!

12:27 pm

a very merry un-birthday to us, to us

12:27 pm

ok... I'm gone... I'll attempt to survive hte 11+ hours till the next puzzle

12:28 pm

occasionally leslie. like if they are real annoyed like that.

12:28 pm

woo hoo specificity - didn't realize you'd finished too...

12:28 pm

nice job, specificity!

12:33 pm

12:34 pm

hi evanadine!!

12:34 pm

hello eva

12:34 pm

bye bgl!

12:34 pm

anyone see anj or lola round these parts anymore?

12:35 pm

evanadine - I haven't been playing much lately...this is my first grid in awhile...so I'm not sure...

12:35 pm

i haven't, eva

12:36 pm

i talked to lola a couple of days ago and she is busy with a new job and applying for british citizenship, said she'd come back when things settle into more of a routine again

12:38 pm

ahh, good to hear... im not on as much these days myself, just wondering how they were... guess i could drop anj an email. :)

12:38 pm

she has NOT eloped with anj, contrary to some of our fanciful speculations, promised she'd tell us if that happened... :)

12:39 pm

if you see them (or send a note), please send my regards & hello's...

12:39 pm

ok

12:39 pm

wouldn't that help with her British citizenship?? tee hee hee!!

12:40 pm

i suppose it would :)

12:40 pm

I'm down to 31 to go...still listless but definitely out of the groove of babble...

12:40 pm

have any babblers really eloped? that'd be fun

12:41 pm

jrh - not that I know about...but wouldn't it???

12:41 pm

65 to go here

12:41 pm

as far as i know, if lola and anj got married they would be the first marriage resulting from babble

12:41 pm

wow, interesting stuff

12:41 pm

it's hard jumping back& forth between this & work...

12:41 pm

quit work......it won't be so hard

12:41 pm

eastern: you're obviously paying too much attention to work.

12:42 pm

have there been any divorces resulting from babble?

12:42 pm

oh really, they met online? i thought they were an item before they started babbling

12:42 pm

I'm at work... of course I've been logged on all morning, but have only played about thirty minutes

12:42 pm

ah, if only I could...

12:42 pm

lol jane, that's probably a better question :)

12:42 pm

harp - ROFL!!!

12:43 pm

harp: too cute

12:44 pm

:)

12:44 pm

it is my understanding that they met through babble but i could be mistaken

12:44 pm

that's something to tell the grandkids

12:44 pm

hursh - I think you're correct...

12:44 pm

well that is really cute. now i do want them to elope :)

12:45 pm

hi guys, can I pls have a clue for both the z words, using the points, and monkey typing but it is not happening

12:46 pm

phand: replace the b in beta and the l in lori.

12:46 pm

12:46 pm

one is married to michael douglas

12:47 pm

I swear I typed both of those and it didn't take it before (muerous of times)

12:49 pm

te5? I have all the other te's but can't get the 5.

12:50 pm

jrh-I've always wanted to visit Bhutan. Are you a citizen?

12:50 pm

te + the state between IL and OH abbr.

12:50 pm

Dzongkha!

12:50 pm

harp: no, not really. it's a bit of a profile mix-up

12:50 pm

what in the world does that mean?

12:51 pm

Good morning, everyone. This looks hard today -- I'm already tearing my hair out and I've only been here for 5 minutes. lol.

12:51 pm

thanks! (wrong t!)

12:51 pm

hey spark

12:51 pm

Dzongkha is the primary language in Bhutan

12:51 pm

jrh, so are you speaking dzeutch?

12:51 pm

all right then

12:52 pm

i thought it would be weird that there was a "missouri" in bhutan

12:52 pm

any clues for the LO5/12 plz?

12:52 pm

it would be odd

12:52 pm

I think "Dzongkha" would be a great exclamation... in lieau of yowser :)

12:53 pm

that's what i was thinking, like you found the 8 or something :)

12:53 pm

jakes-mum - went to the bathroom in britain?

12:53 pm

hurshy: that's all I could think of too!

12:53 pm

{Blush} ty hurshy

12:53 pm

Jrh, you were promoting Dzongkha when I left, and you're still at it now?

12:54 pm

someone else asked about Bhutan

12:54 pm

just curious: do you all have a system that you use when doing this puzzle, or do you just go willy nilly in a random fashion?

12:54 pm

nomatter what the chatlog reads, I have not been promoting Dzongkha for four or five hours

12:54 pm

oh i didn't have to say in britain cause you're there :)

12:54 pm

willy nilly!!!

12:54 pm

lol jrh

12:55 pm

spark: I do the letters one at a time. I'm retentive.

12:55 pm

dzongkha would get you lots of babble points

12:55 pm

i have a system of willy-nilliness though

12:55 pm

spark, i go letter by letter to get all i can at first, then go sort of willy-nilly with the list

12:55 pm

Well, it would have been very persistent of you if you had!

12:56 pm

jrh402s -- do you stick with that letter until you get all the words or do you give up at some point and tear some hair out and move on?

12:56 pm

i find words completely on my own until have at least half of them, then i allow myself to look at the tile stats. after i have 80-95% of them i open up chat and look for clues that fall, or start bothering people with pesky questions.

12:58 pm

spark: I stick to the letter, but I pick the letters I want to do. I usually stick with the hards ones first... like z in this puzzle. At the end, I rarely feel the need to work through all 28 t's, etc

12:58 pm

spark - I'm pretty willy nilly - I try to close out a letter, but then I start to see other words...and then I wander around the grid...

12:59 pm

...and then all h#%& breaks loose...

12:59 pm

spark: however, I do enter words if I spy them outside the letter I'm working on.

12:59 pm

...and then I beg for clues & use the lists... 8 )

1:00 pm

lol. I guess there is no RIGHT way to do this, then. Everyday I try a new approach and I always wind up missing most of my hair -- and then I troll the chatlog for clues... how often do you all actually complete the entire grid?

1:00 pm

it shouldn't trouble you if it's a W and it goes w-w-w-w!

1:00 pm

and I find the clues given here to be pretty interesting. I usually enter them in too.

1:00 pm

I search willy-nilly until I have about 1/2 to 3/4, then concentrate on the tile stats for a while, and then go to the two-letter lists. I try never to ask for any clues, although I happily eavesdrop on the clues other people request.

1:01 pm

And I'm finished at last.

1:01 pm

every day spark barring nasty travel or some such problem

1:01 pm

hurah, faeriekae

1:01 pm

er, I mean Dzongkha!

1:01 pm

Congrats, faeriekae! I finish every day I start.

woo hoo faerie!!

1:01 pm

Oh wow I'm done too that is too weird!!!!!!!!

1:02 pm

Yay for shorty!

1:02 pm

I finish every meal I start.. some I didn't

1:02 pm

Congrats Shorty!!!!

1:02 pm

Dzongkha! shorty

spark - when I do jump into a grid, I try my darndest to finish...

1:02 pm

I also finish every meal LOL

woo hoo Shorty!!!

1:02 pm

aw, go and make me hungry why don'tcha

1:02 pm

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forgot to finish one & my stats dropped immensely!!!

1:02 pm

I, too, occasionally finish meals I didn't start! :)

1:03 pm

thank god(s)! I haven't been able to get all day till now!

1:03 pm

i've only finished one grid since i've joined. BUt my goal is at least half the words b4 i give up

1:03 pm

ya folks/

1:03 pm

yes, i curse the early days when i first started babbling and didn't know about the rankings or how much i would someday come to rue those i had not finished

1:03 pm

Now that I was gone for an entire week last month, my stats have plummetted so low that I'm not paying attention to them anymore.

1:03 pm

I always finish my desserts

1:04 pm

Yay for dessert!

1:04 pm

why early days, why? i ask myself, lifting my hands skyward

1:04 pm

Vicuna What part of New England are you from?

1:04 pm

That's a noble goal Praes!

1:04 pm

1:17 pm

Is the chatlog full of any stids at the moment?

1:17 pm

Sometimes it's a chatlog with trollish kids...

1:17 pm

don't think so but you know it does tend to be :)

1:17 pm

well yes but i didn't wish to dwell on unpleasant topics

1:18 pm

1:33 pm

have you been lifting heavy things cingy?

1:33 pm

Hello, bex.

1:33 pm

Hi! any clues for at5/10, please?

1:34 pm

we are not addicted ourselves do we kid, for every day we're back at the grid, though our lives may be fictionary, we all still slaves to the enable dictionary.

1:34 pm

hi bex

1:34 pm

not at all--i cant think of anything that might have triggered it

1:34 pm

fictionary, lol

1:34 pm

well be careful cingy - don't make quick movements and see a doctor if it doesn't get better in a day or two

1:34 pm

Dachef is on a roll.

1:35 pm

thanks for the advice hursh

1:36 pm

LOL Dachef! just what I needed to see as I walk in the door and boot up...

1:36 pm

hey stid! you are still androgynous

1:36 pm

Hello angela, welcome back! how are you doing on the grid today?

1:37 pm

the first to 5/10 please? i have the cake one

1:37 pm

Hello every1!

1:37 pm

Stid, hurshy immortolized you and your family in a poem a while back.

1:37 pm

yes LeslieAnn, I think androgyny suits me... at least until Dr.God lets me have a green purse...

1:37 pm

hi Stid and gramma

1:37 pm

oh! today? I will go look for it. :-)

1:37 pm

I think the androgynous color is nicer than pink, which is my least favorite color.

1:38 pm

stid, your purse is green

1:38 pm

she's probably getting me back for the little ditty I wrote about her and hetty this mornign...

1:38 pm

twenty-five letters, all in a row, just what we need when feeling so low, we play for fun, not to be the best, but at the end of the day, we should still be allowed "fest".

1:38 pm

Dachef, you're the best! *big grin*

1:39 pm

stid and dachef are our poet laureates!`

1:39 pm

gramma it looks green on your screen, but it's purple on mine, and I am told it's gray on most!

1:39 pm

could I purlease have a hint for the DR6/27 fellow babblers? ;-)

1:40 pm

dr6/27 is a compound word, an arid place to park your car, perhaps

hi gramma, mab, stid, Dachef...(much too clever for a Friday afternoon by the way!!)...

1:40 pm

oh dear, stidmama

1:40 pm

oh thank you vicuna

1:40 pm

the dr 6/27 is a compound word. starts in the right corner, uses a three point tile and ends like the man in the biblical "pillar of salt" story

1:41 pm

Ahh vicuna could never have found that without your stunning clue ty!

1:41 pm

does any have the at 7 and 8

1:41 pm

don't have any A words yet pabtrek!

1:41 pm

You're welcome!

1:42 pm

stid, that clue was awesome, have been working on that for the past 10 minutes

1:42 pm

the first to 5/10, please? i have the cake one

1:42 pm

I'm looking for TE 5/12 and 6/18

1:42 pm

I was thinking about it while I was gone because poor hetty had such trouble with the word earlier...

1:42 pm

te 5 ends in the abbr. for the state in between Illinois and Ohio

1:42 pm

at7 is at+tr5/10

1:42 pm

at7 and 8 are the front part of a word that usually ends -ion, as in a war of at-----ion. Includes a word for banal.

1:42 pm

the 8 is the past tense of that

1:43 pm

im back

1:43 pm

I'm not ignoring pleas for help ( well, actually, I am. ) I'm just starting and I'm of no help...not even to myself.

1:43 pm

on the chat log the people just want to be heard, as they scream "just where is that last bloody word?", but they always feel daft and no better, when that word turns out to be feta or etna.

1:43 pm

Is your back back, too, cingy?

1:43 pm

thanks beck, vi

1:43 pm

thanks beck, vic

1:44 pm

1:47 pm

jeffer, it's a babblet - oo + consonant + third vowel + second vowel

1:47 pm

leslie, you picked the same plate as i did!

1:47 pm

Jeffer, it's the usual oo suspect that is like the ee word for spooky.

1:48 pm

jeffer, to seep through slowly and past tense

1:48 pm

et 4/4 - the def. is a specific type of volcano (ends in two letters if repeated can stand for grandma)

1:48 pm

the at 5/10 - help?

1:48 pm

cingy - if you have the money you first put in in a round of poker - spell it backwards

1:48 pm

1:56 pm

I follow the rules down to the letter, and I understand why I can't have gouda but feta, but one thing that leaves me wanting to get bawdy, is why on earth Im not allowed "lordy"!

1:56 pm

ty pab and hurshy and jakes-mom

1:56 pm

But cingy, if you go, we can't give you clues!

1:57 pm

1:57 pm

2:03 pm

2:03 pm

LeslieAnn -- there are a couple free tests listed on the BA stuff.

2:03 pm

Here there are loads of people, none are the same, and all of us use a very different name, but not wishing to look like an uneducated fella, just who on earth is this chick clled angela?

why do the words in My Word List have a box with a question mark in front?

2:14 pm

stid - i took the one on tickle and it doesn't give me 4 letters just says i'm an observer... where can i take a test to get the four letters, or do i just read the descriptions and pick them myself?

2:15 pm

ESPRIT - click on the ? and it will look it up for yyou

2:15 pm

the box links to definitions when they have one esprit...

2:15 pm

In theory, Esprit, clicking on the question mark gives you a definition. But as the grid uses a different dictionary from the question marks, sometimes nothing comes up!

2:16 pm

jrh, no longer from Bhutan, I see... so what about "Dzongkha"?

4:13 pm

I have ed 4/5, 6/21 and en 5/10, any clues what I'm missing plz

another en 5/10

4:14 pm

ty

4:14 pm

I think "Dzongkha!" could be the new exclamation (that's sweeping the nation). You should use it in place of "yowsers"

lol

4:15 pm

as in, "You finished already? Dzongkha!"

4:15 pm

okay, i'll try it out -- do you have a particular pronounciation in mind? (it's the kh I wonder about)

4:16 pm

Everyone together, ahemm.."Da-zong-kuh!"

4:16 pm

also, perhaps older people will think I'm taking the name of Larry Czonka in vain (LOL)

4:16 pm

um.. who's larry czonka? :)

4:16 pm

n/m checked wikipedia

4:17 pm

he was a "punishing running backin American football."

4:17 pm

he was a football guy, the bears I think, who was EVERYWHERE in the 70's -- the "da" at the beginning makes that not a problem

4:18 pm

"punishing runningback"? that's awesome, someone should use that as their user id!!

4:18 pm

lol

4:18 pm

he looks a little questionable in his wikipedia profile... plus he's got the brow line of of six people.

4:19 pm

can I use that one, too, like "suffering succotash"? Punishing runningback! I thought I monkeytyped that one already!!!! But wait -- daZONGka -- finished with the t's!! Yippee

4:20 pm

jrh, i used "dzongka" when you were gone

4:20 pm

hm, this is the kind of information I need to hang onto so that my will stop thinking I'm a sissy. "What about Larry Csonka? Son! Come watch the game."

4:20 pm

Leslie: Good Work! Together we will overcome.

4:21 pm

Mich: I'm a fan of using "Punishing Runningback" -course it doesn't really roll off the tongue like Dzongkha! so it might not catch on.

4:21 pm

someone mentioned inklink earlier, it is another game, if so does anyone know the website?

4:21 pm

maybe Douglas or someone can write me a poem featuring the phrase "punishing runningback" -- see I spelled it wrong, thought so. I was a little kidlette at the time of his infamy

4:22 pm

Peri: I've never played, but it's at shockwave.com

4:22 pm

Peri: I feel responsible for breaking it to you that it seems to involve charades....

4:22 pm

someone was rolling out tons of poems this morning, dachef i think

4:22 pm

jrh, it's SO batman, though. let's each try the other's out & see if they catch on. I'm on the west coast, you're in the midwest, I'll use them when I'm on the east coast soon -- coast to coast!

4:23 pm

larry csonka, that is

4:23 pm

the SO batman phrase is punishing runningback!

4:24 pm

I think if I used "Dzongkha" in downtown KC that everyone would think I was complimenting a black girl's backside.

4:25 pm

*Sly nod her direction* "Dzongkha." *knuck tap* "Fo' sho' brutha."

4:26 pm

well, I'm in a black neighborhood myself, wouldn't want to offend the homeys -- I totally see it. HEY!! you should enter it at urbandictionary.com, with multiple meanings. You should see some of the slang in there! like "michelise" was weird!!

4:26 pm

cool.

4:27 pm

so... peri? You really go an play charades?

4:28 pm

actually, I probably shouldn't visit the urbandictionary at work :)

4:33 pm

I can't get either of the en 5 words.

4:33 pm

one ends with Spanish for aunt

4:34 pm

one is en + consumed

4:34 pm

help! dr 6/27?

4:34 pm

I swear I tried both of those before and they wouldn't take. Don't you hate it when that happens.

4:34 pm

not wet + where you park your car, dippnall

4:34 pm

jrh you are right about not going at work, I just went there and there's nasty words galore

4:35 pm

ty!

4:35 pm

Dipnall: not wet+not few :)

4:35 pm

can anyone help me with my r's? i have 3 ri's, 7 ro's and an ry.

4:35 pm

mich: good call! my babble habit is probably bad enough

4:36 pm

'course, i'm only working here for another week.

4:36 pm

lol you have 1 more than me Leslie

4:36 pm

well, dzongkha, jrh! what's next for you?

4:37 pm

law school! I'm leaving the state bureacracy to pursue my dream of corporate earnings

4:37 pm

dzongkha, that sounds tough

4:38 pm

by the mustache of Larry Csonka, i'm looking forward to billable hours.

4:38 pm

I thought about lawschool (see my profile) where are you going?

4:38 pm

University of Missouri-Kansas City

4:39 pm

so no relocation I'm guessing? makes it much easier :)

4:39 pm

actually, I'm moving closer to campus - but generally yes

4:39 pm

UMKC is where President Truman went

4:40 pm

okay, I chat too much

4:40 pm

I should get some words...

4:41 pm

billable hours aren't always what they're cracked up to be..... I used to get scheduled for 45 billable/week which meant 50 hours for all the meetings and paperwork, etc. and only got equiv. of 419/hr salaried. Lawyers make much much more money than architects!!! Later jrh

4:41 pm

$19/hr I meant

4:42 pm

ok i was like, oh pooor mich ;)

5:12 pm

Hi FranMag, fantastic logo

5:14 pm

5:14 pm

I've just changed by icon to fuggles as Faerie isn't on - I know she's phobic :)

5:14 pm

ronnielee, there should be a link somewhere that says upgrade to pro, try logging out, it think it's in the log in page

5:15 pm

katie, that's a change from all the cats and dogs that are usually up!

5:16 pm

thanks FranMag

5:17 pm

Hi all - been out to dinner & am just back to find 94 words! 11.15pm here now, hope to finish by 1.00 - am I being too ambitious?

5:18 pm

Good evening all - just looking in for a while. Katie - my understanding is that Babbler is undertaking to organise the London meeting. If you find her profile her e-mail may be listed.

5:18 pm

no snowy - you can do it!

5:19 pm

hi snowy, haz!

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

lol haz, i went to sleep at 2:00 am my time, just got back on after doing some chores this morning.

5:21 pm

Oh I am glad -haven't finished a grid for a day or two

5:21 pm

magzel, to take heed, at + canvas dwelling

5:22 pm

And so you're all refreshed and ready to be let loose again!

5:22 pm

do5/14 is what the proud father did over his new baby,past tense of the do4/5

5:23 pm

yes haz!

5:23 pm

Hi Haz -I'm full of fillet steak at the moment - my digestive system will be working hard for a while yet!

5:24 pm

Sounds like you've dined well anyway! The grid is full of twists and turns but you should get there in the end.

5:25 pm

hi debbinla! didn't mean to overlook you earlier!

5:25 pm

thanks for all the help

5:25 pm

yum, snowyowl, you've reminded me to take something out for dinner

5:26 pm

I need a z-- have the one that rhymes w/ 2nd leter of greek alphabet...

5:26 pm

It was a good meal - a very delayed Christmas Dinner

5:27 pm

HI there franmag!

5:27 pm

The other one is zo4/9 - sounds like an apologetic word.

5:27 pm

libarebel, it's a japanese sandal

5:27 pm

Libarebel, the other z is 4/9 sounds like an apology

5:27 pm

nice 'plate' libarebel!!

5:28 pm

t, Fran, u2! :D

5:30 pm

wow! ty seejay, haz & fran :)

5:30 pm

Can somebody please clue oo 5/10?

5:31 pm

seejay, to seep through slowly and past tense

5:31 pm

seejay, it's like the ee word that means scary, but change the first two letters

5:31 pm

hi annie!

5:32 pm

Thanks, FranMag!

5:32 pm

hi FranMag

5:32 pm

i've been waiting for that zo word to show up on a grid, that's what we called flip flops in my house growing up

5:33 pm

FranMag, i've emailed about the convention thanks for the link :)

5:33 pm

hi all, can someone give me the total word count for the day?

5:33 pm

sure katie!

5:33 pm

Fran, learned that word just now

5:33 pm

i see libarebel has the right idea!

5:33 pm

131 words uncagain

5:33 pm

we used to call flipflops thongs! :D

5:33 pm

thank you

5:33 pm

thongs, it is

5:34 pm

gmta, evanonut! :-)

5:34 pm

gmta?

5:34 pm

great minds think alike :)

5:34 pm

great minds think alike nut

5:34 pm

aha! almost!

5:35 pm

good morning to all?

5:35 pm

can I get some help with the two da 6's?

5:35 pm

cadfan, first one is past tense of the da4/9

5:36 pm

well, thanks Fran, that was easy!

5:36 pm

second one is the da4/9 + what an ascot is, man's business attire

5:36 pm

cadfan - first find the da4/9. Then past tense it for one of the 6 letter words. The other one has the ending of a man's neckwear

need help with my missing O words... I have od4/5, ol4/7, oo4/9, oo5/22, and or6/21... what am I missing?

5:37 pm

od4/7

5:37 pm

boston, you need the oo5/10, spelled like the ee scary word, but with oo

5:37 pm

oo5/12

5:37 pm

THanks Haz.. I swear, some of these words would not even fit in the "Dictionary of Difficult Words" I had some years ago!!

5:37 pm

Also oo5/12

5:38 pm

And an or4/5 following the or6/21

5:38 pm

oo 5/12 to seep slowly

5:38 pm

I know the feeling - you imagine you would have seen most words by now, but no.

5:39 pm

ask my sister.. I've seen LOTS of words.....

5:39 pm

LOL

5:40 pm

haz -- hint on the or 4/5 ?

5:40 pm

haz, i don't know if you were still here last night, amandacath found the def for the tr5/20 word, i guess it's an archaic alternate spelling for loose trousers

5:40 pm

annie - isn[t that the oo 5/22?

5:40 pm

or4/5 - follow the or with an action word. It ends up as an anagram for do4/5

5:41 pm

That's interesting FranMag as people here would use the term 'trews' for trousers. Maybe that's the derivation.

5:41 pm

sorry, have my list all messed up, no wonder no one was taking my clue lol

5:41 pm

ahh, thanks!

5:42 pm

I was trying to think of a good clue from orzo to the or 4/5 - but the martini I'm having seems to be affecting my thinking

5:42 pm

can't imagine why

5:42 pm

i guess that is the alt spelling it's from haz, we don't use that term in america!

5:43 pm

YAY bostonmermaid! *dancing happy dance*

thank you everyone! see yall tomorrow...

5:53 pm

hooray, bostonmer!

5:53 pm

tod

5:53 pm

do5/16?

5:53 pm

i have to say my favorite today is the tr5/20

5:54 pm

ro5/10 - takes one letter away from the corrupt or decaying ro6/18

5:54 pm

ro 5/10 - if the food in your fridge smells bad, it's probably ro 6/18. take off the last letter for the 5

5:55 pm

later boston!

5:55 pm

do5/16, rhymes with a procedural word, du** appointed, but use double vowels

5:55 pm

aint that the tr***, fran, my favorite too

5:55 pm

harp, also sounds like trucks with double back tires

5:56 pm

great clue franmag

5:56 pm

thnaks all

5:56 pm

thanks debb!

5:56 pm

done!! and listless!

5:56 pm

te5/12 - has the same ending as any one of Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, Ross etc

5:56 pm

good job leslieann!

5:56 pm

5:56 pm

5:57 pm

5:58 pm

thanks!

5:58 pm

*victory dance*

5:58 pm

LeslieAnn -- did you say what your myersbriggs is while I was out?

5:58 pm

u guys know of any word in english with triple letters?

5:58 pm

*majestic but energetic music for victory dance*

5:58 pm

brrr

5:58 pm

Myers Brigss.. ugh.. I htink if I recall coreclty - Im an ENFP

5:58 pm

hi Unc. I don't, but that doesn't mean much!

5:59 pm

why ugh CadFan?

5:59 pm

I'm a ESTJ

5:59 pm

can i have a clue on at 6/18 please it just eludes me,thanks

5:59 pm

and would you like to be included in our unofficial poll?

5:59 pm

i tried it but i was distracted and i don't think it was right, stid. i'll go do it again

5:59 pm

yes katie, thanks! I just saw your post on BA which is what reminded me to ask...

5:59 pm

yvo, to take heed, at + canvas dwelling

6:00 pm

hi y'all

6:00 pm

only if you really want to, LA! this is just a "for fun" and no pressure is intended.

6:00 pm

I've posted a message on the board to say what it is, I hope :)

6:00 pm

because I think those things are terrible contrived. They box people in...

6:00 pm

Yvo, I am so glad you asked about that AT... I had never thought of it before!

6:00 pm

any hints on the 8? or the 7 im missing? (i have di7 and te7)

6:01 pm

at 7/8 combo, eva

6:01 pm

8 is past tense of the at7/28, at + overused

6:01 pm

I did it for work and it was frightening accurate, it has also helped me to work with people who are not as extrovert as me much better, but I know what you mean about boxing people

6:01 pm

thank you Fran Mag got it

Stid! didn't see you...

6:02 pm

yw yvo

6:02 pm

I found taking the m-b tool very liberating actually -- it allowed me to take an assessment of my real strengths and gave me some better understanding of what I would be less successful at -- or need to be aware of. Rather than box me in, the comparisons have let me see why some relationships just seem to "click" for me.

6:02 pm

hrmmm....not sure i have the "overused" word

6:03 pm

tr 5 - not important, eva

6:03 pm

katie, i think those assessments just help one realize what things make people different

6:03 pm

hi Daisy! well, I was actually just about to get up. but don't mind seting for just a moment.

6:03 pm

hi eva =)

6:03 pm

ahh, thanks!

6:03 pm

hola parsec!

6:04 pm

howya doin?

6:04 pm

wow, how slow am i... i only *just* noticed that leslieann and franmag have the same icon...hehe

6:04 pm

eh, stressed, unfortunately, but otherwise good

6:04 pm

I know what you mean stidmama. On the course there were 12 women and the ones I really clicked with had the same profile as me. It also made me appreciate that different people do the same job in a different way but equally as well (maybe I did become a better woman after all !!)

6:04 pm

i feel the same as stid about m-b. it's helps me understand the ways in which my friends/colleagues operate on dif. assumptions and hopes and fears

6:04 pm

i kept thinking earlier, am i talking too much? when fran and i were having a convo

6:05 pm

how are you parsec?

6:05 pm

that's what it looks like to everyone leslie!

6:05 pm

My opinion only - it is affected too much by what is going on in ones life at any given time. I've taken it a vriety of time in different situations over the past 20+ years.. it has resulted in different profiles each time. Seems a bit too much like a horoscope to me.

6:05 pm

LOL Leslie, I thought you were having a convesation with yourself :)

6:06 pm

Not that I don't think it has value.. just that I think, sometimes, people give it TOO much value.

6:06 pm

stressed too, but all right. This is the first weekend I get to stay mostly home in a while. =)

6:06 pm

CadFan - I am a Gemini and really really fit the profile for them. don't believe in horoscopes but the profile was unnearving.

6:06 pm

If you're teer haz, I've just seen a puzzling clue about plurals of names vis-a-vis a word I'm seeking--can you elucidate please?

6:06 pm

And any good tester will let people know that such tools are merely indicators of _preferences_ rather than hard and fast definitions... but that doesn't always get conveyed. For me, CadFan, over the 20+ years I have been retested, the myers-briggs has been very consistent. But then, I always take it with an eye toward what I actually would "like" to do if allowed, rather than what I "must" do in my life at the moment...

6:07 pm

katie, did you just have or are going to have a birthday katie?

6:07 pm

Hetty - I haven't seen you for ages, how are you :)

6:07 pm

nice! not so lucky here -- going to a housewarming party, where i have a feeling someone is trying to set me up...heh... and my floors are being redone right now, so my house is a mess. and my AC just died this week. *UGH*

6:07 pm

katie -- I am gemini also, but what fits me is the FireHorse of the Chinese astrological system... spooky.

6:07 pm

it was last Saturday FranMag, really nice day.

6:07 pm

*bounces in quickly* please please could I have a clue for the de5 and 6 after the fatal ones?

6:08 pm

I'm well, thanks katie, but very busy just now so I'm bouncing in and out a lot

6:08 pm

hey stid, i'm a fire horse too! that's right we're the same age

6:08 pm

oh no evan, a set up!

6:08 pm

de 5 - to deflate

6:08 pm

what if he's a hottie?

6:08 pm

hi evanadine, sorry I get involved in discussions like this so easily.... my parents just had their floors redone in the final steps of the remodel the tree forced on them... it made so much dust! you have my sympathy!

6:08 pm

atalante, wierd ones, de5/12 is deflate

6:08 pm

ata - I haven't got them yet, sorry

6:09 pm

its possible he could be, but i live in MD and the party is in N Va, so he would be what my friends and i call "geographically undesireable"

6:09 pm

de6/21 is not wierd, what the police do when they need to question you

6:09 pm

Sorry hetty - I was away for a while there - you were looking for a word?

6:09 pm

yes Fran, but the really funny thing is I was also born in the month of the horse on the day of the horse at the hour of the horse... LOL

6:09 pm

at least they are weird ones - I always feel so dumb when my last words are really obvious!

6:09 pm

FranMag/Leslie - good clue but that is never a word.

6:10 pm

someone clued earlier that de 6 are like the people at guantanamo bay - de****ees

6:10 pm

too bad evan, as you probably are desireabe, seeing how it's unlikely you're a cousin of his!

6:10 pm

Atalante, I don't have them either... (hi)

6:10 pm

katie, true, but enable thinks it is so we have to use it!!

6:10 pm

TY Fran and Leslie! Finished! Phew! now I can go to bed ... *bounces off again hugging all*

6:10 pm

stidmama -- the dust hasnt been TOO bad yet, and thankfully the weather isnt so hot the turning on the fans + cracking the windows hasnt been good enough... but its gonna take a bit of money to repair/replace the system, and i just dont have it!

6:10 pm

Lol evanonut

6:10 pm

night atalante!!

6:10 pm

Congrats Atalante, night

6:11 pm

lol...is that all it takes to be desireable? not being related?? hehe

6:11 pm

Yes please, Haz--te5/12. I think your clue had to do with plurals of Rachel etc., but without an 's' in the grid I'm mystified

6:11 pm

yay atalante!!

6:11 pm

in that part of the country i understand! ;-)

6:11 pm

oo 5/12 anyone??

6:11 pm

I hear you -- we don't have air conditioning. I spend my summers opening windows in the evening, closing them when it starts to warm up, and adjusting shades inside and out...

6:11 pm

YAY Atalante!

6:11 pm

Daisy -- I assume you are "back"?

6:11 pm

lol...sure youre not thinking of West VA?

yes:)

6:12 pm

evanadine, funny you should bring that up, a guy i dated a while back just married his first cousin!!

6:12 pm

I looked at joining a dating agency over here and they wanted £800 up front fee. We now discuss whether someone is £800 good or if I am £800 deperate - I'm not (yet!)

6:12 pm

Ross and Rachel are members of the cast of Fr****s - I was pointing out that the te5/12 had the same ending as ONE of them - so no s needed.

6:12 pm

then there's me - i'm off for a date with my lil bro - good luck even, hope he surprises you (oh no, i'm certain it's anything virginia!)

6:12 pm

debb, it's like an ee scary word, but use the oo

6:12 pm

I need to split for a while since Matthew and his friend are just getting home. I'll let you know when I am sitting down again...

6:12 pm

later evanonut!

6:13 pm

later stid!

ok:)

6:13 pm

katie -- you aren't that desperate, I hope!

6:13 pm

later all!

6:13 pm

oo5/12 is a strange word--you add the ending of cross letter, third vowel and fourth letter to your ooooo

6:13 pm

Bye stidmama.

6:13 pm

not even really looking mch to date right now anywho, so im not too worried about it

6:14 pm

sorry debb, i gave you the wrong clue!!

6:14 pm

no worries - thank you franmag and thanks hetty! i only have 2 more - yipee

6:15 pm

that's the attitude evanadine! you're still young anyway, i didn't meet my husband until i was 35.

6:15 pm

evan - me neither, that was why I was so shocked at the money. I'm going to go to the pub to watch the football on my own and see if I can make some friends. I really just need company (as in female friends) rather than a date :)

6:16 pm

how much is 800 pounds in dollars?

6:16 pm

i hope that's not a stupid question

6:16 pm

Haz , I'm tV illiterate, so though I know the title "Fr***ds I know nothing else. Is the anoher route to take? I'm also stymied by the te6 thomI hav e the te7

6:17 pm

it's like 1600 bucks

6:17 pm

It's not a stupid question I think it is about $1500 and then you had to pay $60 per month as well!!

6:17 pm

i don't think the tv clue is right. it ends like the beginning of the state in between illinois and ohio

6:17 pm

Okay - let's try another route for the te5/12 - add the first three letters of the country where the Taj Mahal is built.

6:17 pm

holy crud, that is a lot of pounds or dollars or whatever

6:17 pm

whoa! that is a lot to pay for a date! unless the guy is professional (if you know what i mean, wink, wink)

6:18 pm

lol

6:18 pm

For that amount of money he would need to be very very professional :)

6:18 pm

te6/18 - to the number after nine, add a man's item of neckwear

6:18 pm

and come with a money-back guarantee

6:19 pm

Lol LeslieAnn

6:20 pm

lol, my husband is still looking through the paperwork for the part that says he can return me! it's our little inside joke because i moved from out of state to be with him!

6:21 pm

Another unfinished grid! I'm just too tired to continue, so I'll wish you all agood night & sweet dreams when you sleep

6:21 pm

seems like a nice place to move to!

6:21 pm

night snowyowl!!

6:21 pm

Night snowyowl

6:21 pm

Never mind snowyowl! Sleep well.

6:22 pm

good night

6:22 pm

yes debb, i'd always wanted to live here anyway, it was an easy choice to make, because of my husband also of course. ;-)

6:23 pm

that was really bad sentence structure. apologies to all the editors and writers out there!

6:23 pm

it read perfectly to me

6:23 pm

ty haz for the te 6/18... had me stumped

6:23 pm

You're welcome, calmunid.

6:24 pm

Haz, I tried your advice, and your clues work like a charm.

6:24 pm

I am missing the lo 5/12 and the 5/10 and I'm sick of trying to monkey type them. I know as soon as they are clued I'll feel like a dummy, but I need help.

6:25 pm

brb, need to do another load of laundry before baby wakes up

hi everyone!

6:25 pm

Wow, helen, that's a unique plate! :D

6:26 pm

Oh, that's good to hear, hetty. I'll have to say goodnight, however and wish you all happy babbling. lo5/12 - provided with British toilets, lo5/10 add two beverage sounding letters and the second vowel. And now I'm gone!

6:26 pm

Lo5/10 is a misspelling of the biblical guy who's wife turned into salt, but I don't know the lo5/12 yet

6:26 pm

shannon - the lo 5/10 is what i'd like to win -- the lo*** (minus the alst two letters

6:26 pm

I'm giving up for the night. Might see you tomorrow if not bb on sunday :)

i don't think i'll chat much, cause it kinda creeps me out :)

6:26 pm

Got them! Thanks.

6:27 pm

Good!

6:27 pm

Can somebody please clue the at7/28 and ai6/21?

6:28 pm

I've got an ai 6/21 that is the past tense of a 4/4

6:28 pm

I've got 12 more words. The AT 5/10 and the AI 6/28 are a mystery.

6:29 pm

the at 5 is a heart chamber - I had to google it :)

6:29 pm

haven't got the ai6/28 yet

6:30 pm

really am going now.

6:31 pm

I don't see a 6/28. Don't you mean ai6/21, which was clued courtesy of Elalyr the past tense of ai4/4 (thanks Elalyr.

that lo 5/12 is PAST TENSE of a British toilet:)

6:33 pm

Glad to help! Now, can someone clue me in to the zo 4/9? I've monkeyed everything I can think of...

6:34 pm

i have 2 more and think i might go bonkers - can anyone help with the do 5/12 -

6:34 pm

sounds like sorry someone said before

6:34 pm

or a girls name with a z instead of a L

6:34 pm

for the zo 4/9, go diaganally upwards

good clue mymuseisme:)

6:35 pm

there's 2 debb, one some dogs do

6:35 pm

aha! thanks, got it :)

6:35 pm

6:35 pm

Debbinla, do5/12 is same as above

6:36 pm

oops sorry that was di

6:36 pm

Okay, if I'm rehashing an earlier conversation, forgive me... ...but didn't the enable dictionary ever hear of a ZOOT suit? I'm just saying!

6:37 pm

Sorry, I made the same mistake

6:37 pm

i'm sure everyone tried it JBs!

6:37 pm

lol JBs, I agree, it seems to have everything else

6:37 pm

isn't that the di?

6:38 pm

hehe -

6:39 pm

that was funny! does anyone have the do 5,12?

6:39 pm

only have do 5/14

6:39 pm

debbinla, think hues of the rainbow then change first letter

6:40 pm

Sigh. Oh well, 47 words, and time to go make dinner. I probably won't finish this grid tonight, as we are leaving early for the shore (Ocean City, NJ) tomorrow. Thanks for the support, FranMag & Elatyr!

6:40 pm

thanks franmag - it was driving me insane!

6:40 pm

see you tomorrow JBs!

6:41 pm

can't have that debb! yw

6:41 pm

Oh, and way to go with clues in the chat log, you Babblers, you! I knew that word, FranMag, just couldn't see it in the forest of "t's"!

6:41 pm

i had a lot of words like that JBs!

6:42 pm

hmm, Zoloft is *almost* in there! Have fun!!!! I hope to pop in later!

6:42 pm

6:44 pm

HI all, clues for the at6/18 anyone

6:44 pm

yay hetty!!

6:45 pm

peri, to take heed, at + canvas dwelling

6:45 pm

CONGRATS HETTY! *******

6:45 pm

thanks Fran, lol took this long

6:45 pm

periwinkle, pay at and what you camp in.

6:45 pm

FranMag, thanks

6:46 pm

yw peri!

6:46 pm

Yay, Hetty!

6:46 pm

peri, at6/18 is like the Frenche for attending--start to write that word but use a crossed letter instaed of the d at the end

6:46 pm

does the at8 build on the at7

6:46 pm

can ya give a hint plz for the bottom 3, have en 5/10-2

6:46 pm

peri, if i haven't said it before, i love your flower icon, purple is my favorite color, i'm glad you don't change it

6:46 pm

yes peri, it does

6:46 pm

No it builds on the at7/28

6:46 pm

bottom e I mean

6:47 pm

I mean yes! I'm cross-eyed at the moment.

6:47 pm

my muse, it's a sicilian volcano

Hi everyone. Would someone explain how to add an icon and if there's a theme or use whatever we want? Thanks.

6:48 pm

omg staring right at me ty

6:48 pm

Just make your at 7 past tense

6:48 pm

thamks, FranMag, periwinkle is my favorite color, a true periwinkle is a purplyblue, very pretty

teeze

6:48 pm

got the at8, thanks FranMag

6:48 pm

maribelshop, you have to upgrade to pro first and then you add icons in your profile. link to themes is on angelsong's babble page in links below

6:49 pm

you don't have to follow themes though, it's just fun for a lot of us to do.

6:49 pm

yw peri

6:50 pm

maribel, if you edit your profile (go to account) you will find it's easy to get asn icon. Most people change all the time-I'm too lazy. But the themes are to be found in the babbler icon page on Lickety's list page.

6:50 pm

missing 2nd da4/5, hope is it is not an obvious one

6:50 pm

i'm baaaack! ready to tackle more of the grid

6:50 pm

change the last letter on your other da 4/5, peri

6:50 pm

nm, found the da4/5

6:50 pm

hey feather!

6:51 pm

got 52 done earlier sans list

6:51 pm

second da5 is not easy--a word I'd never heard. Take your first da4/;5 and chanhe the last letter to another vowel

6:51 pm

do you have the list now feather?

6:53 pm

that second da4/5 i've heard used by carpenters. don't know if it's the same word, but it's a guide or template for making multiple cuts of the same length

6:53 pm

will soon, checking the recent chat for clues

6:54 pm

hi, all ((peri))

6:54 pm

HI there Angelsong!!!

6:54 pm

i managed to get to 83 without the list, i think my ability to remember useless trivia (i.e. wierd enable words) is starting to kick in!

6:55 pm

hi angelsong! btw, love your babble page, i use the links there all the time, it's really improved my grid solving ability!

6:55 pm

hey angel

6:55 pm

wow, that's impressive fran! i'm kind of stalled at the moment, and don't like to get the list before halfway

6:56 pm

brb, have to feed my son

6:57 pm

missing a di4/5: I have, to lose weight, word that rhymes with mint, soil or earth, and French for speak, what am I missing?

6:57 pm

cheers all, thanks to everybody for all the clues. cant stay awake any longer.

6:58 pm

peri, i don't know the french word for speak, but whatever it is, change the last vowel to another vowel

6:58 pm

bye seejay!

11:21 pm

Well, going to likety's site caused me to crash; but I'm back now! :D

11:37 pm

11:37 pm

since bartending is not me first calling, I'll serve the margarita (cuz I can make those) *sending you one with a nice little umbrella :)

11:37 pm

11:38 pm

thank you kristin, that will do

11:38 pm

hetty...my husband went to college in Canada...he actually would love to move back :)

11:45 pm

tr 5/12 (not attempted)?

11:45 pm

I think you are nrkii, but let me check -- you know, someone told me earlier what they were, and I put it in my spreadsheet before I crashed the computer.... but obviously didn't save it right away. I'll have to look back int he log. I can't remember who said she was what! LOL

11:45 pm

Good Evening everybody! Just signed on. Don't think I have time to complete tonight's puzzle! Oh Well....

11:45 pm

almost the same kristin, change the second vowel...

11:46 pm

ah, thanks stid!

11:46 pm

hi Minveryork -- yes, don't start. This is harder than it looks (not the lack of an S).

11:46 pm

Saturday theme, for anyone who wants to change before the flip, is : "how you feel when you've completed a babble grid"

11:46 pm

How come it does not accept the word doodle? Isn't that a word? You know like to draw nonsense things.

11:46 pm

oh right! I know the picture I want... have to go find it... brb

11:46 pm

Jilli,you and I must cooperate in hosting babble visitors when we coax them into a visit. Glad you've finished tonight--see you at the flip

11:46 pm

kristin -- tr 5?12 - a threesome

11:47 pm

the E is in the wrong place M.....

11:47 pm

oh! fun theme...might finally need to update mine

11:47 pm

minver, I don't think you can make the word doodle here

11:47 pm

doodly ought to be accepted though, like when you have a paper from notes you took during a meeting, and it ends up being all doodly

11:48 pm

doodle doesn't work in the grid. wish it did -- a fond nickname for my grown son which makes him groan

11:48 pm
