Jill -- you were first in!
flip-si-daisy!
good morning
hey this grid looks almost manageable!
Flip
hi kimberblue! hi Layne!
i'm joining you all for my first conversation of my 37th year!
greyed out the E!
i was sitting waiting <G>
Good morning, stidmama. Can't believe I'm awake!
what do you mean zoot isn't a word!
Give it another try, jilli. You'll do this one/
flip! had 15 left, not bad!
happy birthday kimber!
clues are up!
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...
okay all, i'm going to turn off chat and work quietly for a while
WOW lickety!
*happy birthday kimber!* *offers bouquet of flowers*
WOW lickety again!
aww...thanks!
so where do you see who got the most points every day>? i.e. stidmama obv. got them all but where are the charts?
ummm... Lickety -- do you know your myers-briggs type?
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?
zoot not there? does anyone remember zoot suits?
exactly, jillibus!
no s, no plurals, maybe latin ones tho
awry
Remembering zoot suits would show my age, therefore, I've never heard of them. ;)
tawdry
woops!
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
i'm enfj helen
haha phweak -- who cares?
Oh shut up, moonriver :D
haha!
xP
hey helen - i was in your neighborhood today getting my car emission tested!
ls1 - then you were 1 block from my house on your way there!!!!
you could have stopped by & helped me wash my dogs, lol
hi all how many words?
are you just off forest preserve?
131, leanne
i'm right off harlem, 2 block south of irving
door
thanks!
that is close!
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
i did - i used to go to hillside - 290 is much easier to travel than harlem
wass- i was 1 on the intuitive/sensing, so we could almost be the same!
but at least i get to stop at caputo's!
yes, harlem is a major hassle - i wish they could figure out a way to make it 2 lanes here
lol - that place is nuts :)
rats! i did it again! SO sorry. Maybe nobody noticed?
no jili, but i went back to see :)
me too!
hi all
kierlex!!!!!!!
I think I'm done, partner....
not very exciting, though, eh? You probably had it anyway.
wassup!!!! wassup?
buddy ol' pal...how's it going?
hi kierlex
would it be justifiable homicide to murder my hubby for reading me excerpts from stupid book and/or sports scores while i am trying to babble
agreed.
going fine, i took the day off today and got a FEW things done but now i have to work tomorrow and i dont want to
trod
oops
i'm going to change. brb
I keep seeing things like tawdry underwear. Shame on me. Why can't there be an accomodating "s" so we can have "sneeze"?
how are yhou all tnite? you guys are prob done babbling already since there are only 131 words!
i keep seeing zoloft - what does that mean
well, i figured i wanted trollop. but had to settle for tawdry
joined!
Hang down your head Tom Dooley---wasn't thata song once?
thanks bendamalina
thx bend
?
hetty said it beofre me, and jillibus before that
12:18
lol - i didn't see them say it, it's always the last one that gets caught! LOL
well i got all the u words taken care of...
wd kier!
wady
thx! thats about how productive i feel tnite, esp compared to you babblemaniacs
dang!
hi JaiKnut! which one are you right now? ;-)
kerlex, you are soooo funny
welcome bambam, say hello to raffles
back for more...
hello bambam. welcome!
at 71, good nite, gonna take a relaxy bath now :) everyone have a great evening/day
oh, that sounds great helen. have a good one.
night helen
yoda
omg. helen your icon is hilarious
i find it a little creepy myself
bye noe
he is still reading to me. i am going to get an axe right now
bye noW
haha! we both went a little astray...
helen that is a sexy lip plate
oh, switchplate, cool one!
why the heck are there so many 't' letters lately????????
lol kier - ok really, really going now, good nite all :)
i'm not liking this grid. bad grid. bad grid.
wassup - NOW you tell me!
sorry, should have given more warning.
i'm off to sleep as well
night all
nice icon. he's cute sleeky
nite bendamalina
he da man!
why do i continue to play this evil addicting game. i need to join an Babbleholics Anonymous group
this is a good day for icons. another good idea kierlex
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...
thanks wassup. it's hard to see tho!
oh, what is babblers anon? i should check it out. am so lame
thanks stid
going to find a new icon...
stid - do you have the grid that tells you in a sentence or two in a funny way what the letters mean?
helo
Olivia is very dr5/12+y, and yet, its not a word??
for example, mine was I have no trouble totally concentrating - oh, look there is a bird - on my work
okay, new icon loaded, refresh for my take on the day's theme!
that is cool, stid (the myers brigg breakdown on babble anon)
I know, no mom can believe that's not a word!
it's really interesting, but then I get into demographics and stuff like that big time!
i think dr...y should be a word, too
what is todayt's theme?
i was going to do gondwanaland for my plate icon but i was distracted by license plates
Knut, are things working out for you-all since you got back to work?
stid - did you see my ???
stid...I just checked it out, very cool. It is so interesting reading what others are
indeed they are working out pretty good. I never see my husand, but Olivia has adapted to the routine so very well
what are you talking about jaiknut if i may ask?
sorry joey, missed it. trying to multitask....no, I don't have that!
woah...I though jaiknut was an imposter...what's the deal?
well, I am glad it's working for Liv...
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.
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.
gotcha...now I won't ignore them...hi to you both!
stid, checked out the meyers brigg thing. pretty neat!
hi mum
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!
thanks wassup. It'll be fun to see if anyone else responds to the survey!
hi back!
i never doubted you guys!!!! :) actually after stid did i was starting to.
who's your mum bambam?
Wha????
Bambam -- when did you go pro?
Just to prove I am here, too, stid, your last emaqil to me was entitled "miss you"- Jai
LOL Jai, glad you're on too! I was afraid I had offended you by being so suspicious!
just went pro today (first day!) my mum is just playing for fun, and she never went pro (thank goodness!!)
i feel like i am stepping into an existing circle of friends so excuse my nosy behavior
We actually thought JaiKnut was a very cute name!
um...I'd like to take this opportunity to say "this grid stinks" pfft! (I like to use that word now)
being curious and nosy... do you and Knut know your myers briggs types? (it is a cute name!)
wait a minute, *I* am Bambam's mom!
;-) (Bam Bam is m son's nickname)
pfft is right! this is awful!
no, i'm bambam's mom
Bambam you did really well on the last grid.... I am glad you decided to join us!
I like to use pbpppppppppppst, myself
I'm Spartacus!
this would be a good day for holy crap!
I'm Batman!
how do you guys know what the first two letters, length, and points are of the ones you're missing?]
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...
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
i am the walrus, coo coo ca choo
bambam, look at lickety's clues at the bottom of the page.
thankfully no, he' s just very big and strong.
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.
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
uh oh...allergies are kicking in. gonna take a benadryl and then fall asleep with laptop.
thanks stid
goodnight wassup, I'm heading off too...goodnight everyone 30 to go...pfft! :)
ENTP stid
(Knut is ENTP, that is)
good night wassup and kristin! see you tomorrow!
nite all
wassup, I once had the privilege of waking up with the keyboard tiles imprinted on my face!-Jai
nite kier
nite
thanks -- was just about to ask who that was for! These split personality things are really tough. LOL
just took two. shouldn't be long now...
rood
nite wassup, sleep tight
MOM!
You're making me look bad. *snickering*
fish for Mom <XXXXXXXXXX,,,,>
I am glad this new arrangement is working for you Jai and Knut.
maybe perhaps the chatting thing isn't quite so... well thought out yet... (says Megan)
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!
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
Hello everyone!!
Hello MRP
Hi Mr. P!
Hi everyone!
Hi Blaze! Hi Deutsch! Looks like a fun little one!
I'm a little slow at this one.
there's a few to many t's for me liking....
Hello, Mr. Pres- this puzzle isn't quite as much fun as the last two, but thank you anyway!
I retract my fun statement!
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!
Hi Mrp and Deutsch long time no see!
I just happen to like the longer puzzles- less obscure words and more good combinations of letters....Jai
{{{chic!}}}
z words? Argh
Hi Chic!
there are too many 'almost' words in this one!
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
aghghggh i hate this, at least the 300 word ones make you feel like you
're doing something!
Later, Jai@
See you tomorrow, Deutsch! :o)
bye Jai!
sup sarah? taking drugs again, are we???
yeah, i'm still here. one eye has stopped watering. how was your exam?
well I feel like a right dick today! I can't get more than 40 words!!
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.
maybe the voice was beneficial. the teacher couldnt understand you... :)
put it to a vote: who here thinks "doodly" should be a word henceforth?
yeah, all that french nasal sound
aye.
ned flanders uses it all the time
chalk me up
Mr. P, 40? I'm here at 20. Doodly!
:)
that's three yeas. that should be enough to teach that merriam and his stuffy friend webster a thing or two
i'm surprised we don't have more in favor of doodly. come on people. Doodly?
I have knocked down 30 and by the way Lickety splits lists are awesome... thank you thank you...
i'll vote for doodly!
there we go...
four's even better
i'm drugged. should sleep. but.............
i'm drugged on my own sickness.
have 73 words done, i'm stuck though, maybe going to the list in a couple of minutes
Blaze, he will love you for that! LOL
oh, well i'm glad you got a good grade on your exam.
73? i've got 54.
yeah, me too. i would have been worried if my brain had been functioning at the correct level. but the brain fog kept me loose
i'm gonna have to stop for a while to put the baby to sleep though
73? argh! * grumbles to self.* A z and not even a zebra on the grid.
I do have to wonder how many words I would have without my mom's help... with it we're at 115
i'm going to bed. goodnight everyone. i'm falllllingggg aaaaassslllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.zzzzz zzzzzzzzzz

YW. Don't worry FranMag; I'm having trouble on the top row A. I haven't found a single word from there yet
Maddie - sounds like a one word apology
pardon summerbreeze44????
sounds like a word you might say when you apologize to someone
Maddie, or maybe the zo is like the mask of Zo** with the 3rd vowel instead of the hoop vowel
o ok ty so much Deutsch and summerbreeze44!!!!
yw
yw
how many words do you have deutsch and summerbreeze???
Nef, I have no top row A's at the moment. (dang(
i have 3 of them, anyone want clues
75
I have all of... well, 41...
I just found one! It is what you drink in the summer made from lemons! :D
wow!!! well done!!!
Thanks, Nef!
thanks nef, that was the last one i needed for that A
FranMag, I could use some clues, if you please
aint
a4/10, not quite right, askew
sorry (blush)
I KNOW aint is a contraction, yet I still tried it! LOL
a4/4, what we breathe with an extra consonant and the past tense of that word
me too (as everyone can now see!)
thanks, FranMag!
Hiya - how's everything!
just finished the Ws from the top if anyone wants clues for that
yes please franmag...
ai 4/5 -- that helper
airted
hi matty! nice new dragon you've got there
yw deutsch
nef wrote a word!! ;-)
Cheers - that was from a few days ago when the theme was masked ball. The recent themes haven't inspired me - what's today's?
SORRY!!!
today is plates
Hi Matty! that's okay, Nef.
Glad, nef! :D
franmag can you please give me some clues for the w words at the top????
I get tired at this point of the night (it's 3 AM here)
I'll see what I can find - Guten Morgen, Deutsch (und sehr fruh fuer dich - sorry, my German is VERY rusty)
me too, franmag
one is a wa4/8 that is a unit of electricity
one is a wa4/8, wa** patiently and it's past tense
wa4/8, w+what we breathe
wa4/8, ebb or lessen
any other clues for w4/8 what we breath???
Matty, so is mine. Deutsch is a college nick name, and I've been out of college a long time. LOL
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!
that's all 6 of the Ws
very nice matty!!
I still can't figure out the a 4 that means askew
i dont have 4 of the w words..anymore clues for them???
nef, there's a 3 letter W word, put the A in front of it
I have four of the six w's - I have the paddling pool word, the breathe word, the word to hold your horses, and the word to have held your horses.
DUH!! Thanks FranMag!
How did I miss that?
Oooh - I have the small child as well.
hi everyone! i'm back i have finished my homework!
nef, i think it's toooo obvious! ;-)
Matty try the phase f the moon it waxes and w***
Morning every one!
Any clues for the final w?
well done PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey kitty
matty, it's a unit of electricity, think light bulbs
hi kittyvane!
good for you, PM. I kitty! Matty, I changed my idon, too! I'm now in sync with the plates.
w 4/8, ebb or lessen has me scratching my head - aahh - i see, but that's not how the ebb is spelt -- this is a hay****
nice deutsch, it's great you both can stay in theme for the day and your own personal theme as well!
thanks, Fran!
anyore clues for the w words because i need 4 more to find???
bi
hi
franmag gave clues for all 6 w's, maddie -- just scroll down!
madie, which ones did you find?
i found the one to wa** patiently and the past tense of that
hey egm
maddie, one of the words starts like the one you have, just change the last consonant
hey egm
is that maddie g
yes
and paige
actually, two of them are like that, just change the last letter of the one you have
yes
ok

hi
thaks FranMag!
yw pm26
i still have 2 more
last one is a unit of electricity that you see on light bulbs
i have 3 more
Well, I just realized that some of the words I typed in chat by mistake I'd forgotten to type in the puzzle! That certainly makes a difference in word counts! :D
Thank you all for the W clues, it was nice to get them out of the way first thing :)
first one is wa4/11, if water is shallow you don't swim in it you wa*e, take that word and drop the E and add a Y
ooh, nice plates kittyvane! with dessert recipes even
Ah, Finally. Thanks FranMag!

Jilibus, i thought you might want to know that when i get older i want to go to CANADA!!!!!
Got that too
:)

BTW, cat, your plate says it all!
yeah jemma and i studied canada for our commonwealth games project!!
Great choice, Jemma!
Oh good, you can see it! Whenever I change my icon, takes like 24 hours before I can actually see it! I figured I would keep with the new theme, plates and of course I had to use that one! :)
my mum and dad lived there for nearlly a year!!
tite
oops sorry!!
jus monkey-typing
jemma - what part of canada did your parents live in?
preethi do you go to school?
Preethi, change the third letter of the word you just typed.
Or change the first...

hi madz!!!i had to say that
Thanks Deutsch
super-natural british columbia!
thanks deutsch!! i got it
cat, I like finding an icon that works with the day's theme
Yep!!!!what part do you live in?
Hi again, Maddie
India
where are you from?
yw, louie!
This is the first time I have done it Deutsch. I never know what the theme is, saw people talking about it earlier, so I decided to join in :)
deutsch, i dont have the w word for light bulb. well i do but it says that it was not found in the dictionary.
Cat9x, how are your pets?
Cat, is the da 6 you found the 33?
they are wonderful Jemma, thank you for asking :)
and yw, preethi
yes it is jilli

i dont think im getting any better at this game.i havent even got over 10!oh sad sad me
How many words in the grid today?
131
nice plate cat!
deutsch, is the w word for light bulb wad*?
thank you Fran!
maddie, that lightbulb couldn't be easier! You start with the wa and add 2 cross letters. Do you know what cross letters are?
i had the yummiest dinner tonight it was subway! sorry i just had to say that!
nice colourful icon fran!!
i don't like subway!!
no jillibus what are they?
Maddie, use the 20th letter twice at the end
PS - the word doesn't mean light bulb -- it's what is often written on one
May I ask, how do you find what the days theme is?
what are cross letters?
I got lucky today, saw people talking about it :)
no idea
oh as if jemma its so healthy and nice. i guess you would prefer a big UN healthy dinner of mc donalds or subway
letters that resemble crosses Maddie
Cat, You can go to angelsong's web page, listed in friends of babble at the bottom
Deutsch gave the cross letter to you - the 20th one in the alphabet.
babbler's profile has a complete list and you can request your own theme also.
i mean mc donalds or hungry jacks!!!!
no not really
the link is on angelsong's page
Thank you Deutsch :)
yes but i doesnt work jillibus
thanks Fran!
Cat9x, have you met any famous people?
Yes, a couple :)

jemma, you asked what part of BC I live in - it's near Victoria - on an island.
thanks
Louie, go to the bottom of the page and look for the yellow box with Friends of babble.
cool, is it pretty/
it's beautiful, jemma
Cat9x, who have you met?
Maddie, how are you doing on the wa?
Peter Falk, from Columbo TV show, and I think a couple more, buit can't recall.I will have to think on it :)
i have got it but it doesnt work!
oh yes, I met the first President Bush
ha s anyone met paris hilton??!!

cat9x who is your fav celebritie
Maddie, it has to work, we all have entered the word, try again ok?

I don't have any one favorite, I like diff ones for diff reasons Louie :)
but it doesnt even exist in the puzzle either
hang on guys, be back in 2mins!!
Maddie, do you have the right cross letters? It's not an algebra one.
heeey, Deutsch ^^ another IT lesson XD
any manskirt sightings? :/
Maddie, the 20th letter twice
ok well i dont care if i give this word away is it......
wadd??
can anyone give me a clue for the word starting with 't'
Mayavi, I have since seen that manskirt has a denim skirt. I thought of you the day I saw it... him.
Maddie, d is not the 20th letter in the alphabet, and it's not a cross letter!
Maddie, try WA plus whae first letter of what you watch your favorite sitcoms on, then add that same letter again.
thanks. i like many but here are just a few...johnny depp, reese witherspoon, paris hilton(most people dont like her but i started liking her when i first saw the simple life!) annnnd loads more!
ok, i didnt know what you meant!!!
XDDD ah, can't win em all. Which reminds me, I saw a pretty boy in a skirt at Oriental City the other day, my friend and I had to fight hard not to stalk him XD ...then we lost the fight, and stalked him anway 8D but I thought "manskirtmanskirtMANSKIRT!" when I saw it XD
does anyone out there like johnny depp, except for louie?
LOL, miyavi!

anyone who has a rottweilier knows that rottie is a word!
I have a Rottie, and I agree Atalante!
And it's not? I have a pit bull, atalante
i dont get it sorry cat.
Maddie.....try this.....ET plus the letter N, plus first vowel :)
et4/4 is a volcano in Sicily
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?
Yes Ata, she is a LOVE! 7 years old and a sweetie pie! Her name is Tiki :)
ty cat, do you have anymore?? BTW those clues are better cause i can understand them more!!
our next door neighbour have a year old rottie called Rothko and that dog is just *adorable*
ok, I will clue another.....
ty cat
Atalante, soppy? Not sure on that, but I can say he's very loving.
They really are wonderful animals Ata...Love the name Rothko!
what's his name, Deutsch?
does anyone have the de5/12? It seems to be hiding from me.
Maddie, EN plus the 2nd letter of your name, plus T plus 2nd vowel :)
i best be off after the e clues because dinner is neally ready!!
pits have a bad rep, but that's just a reflection on the owners.
pits have a bad rep, but that's just a reflection on the owners.
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!
I'm *sure* - people make their dogs
Maddie,,,EN plus the 3rd letter of my name plus 3rd vowel plus first vowel
ty cat i need 1 more i think.
is that right?? 1 more??
ty cat...is that all???
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.
Atlante, what a coincidence, a friend has a cat named Kandinski
yes Maddie, just clued the 3rd one, look down :)
yes i know i have that ty
wow! that really is a coincidence!
I almost named my cat Kafka
I've known a couple of rotties. Very nice dogs and people.
what?......28 t words and i only have 7!!! any clues for them???
but since my kittie is a girl, Kafka didn't quite fit
cat do you have all of the t words??
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
My cat's name is Hester, an anagram of Esther, but also named for Hester Prynne
can i please have some clues for the t words cat???
Which T words are you looking for Maddie? I have 1 of the first T, 9 of the second and 3 of the last
Atalante, that is so sad. dogs want to be good, I believe
I agree Deutcsh, animals aren't evil by nature
i am looking for a lot of them kitty!!
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 :)
dogs just want to be loved
ok ty
so true, atalante
Okies, T-words: When you're about 11 to 19 years old, you're known as a te**
Good morning all. Another brilliantly sunny day here.
can you please give clues like cat gives them cause i understand them better!!!
And when you're feeling sleepy, you are ti***
ah, okies
Hi Haz!
Hi Haz!
well the te4/4 word has two of the same letters in the middle
hi Haz :)
And how is the grid treating everyone today?
ok dont worry kitty cause i have to go now anyway
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 :)
Haz, ugh on the grid.
I went almost straight to the list, Haz - not feeling very patient today
ahh ok, bye Maddie :)
Oh dear! That sounds ominous.....
You're better at clueing that way than I am Cat :)
I'm at 48 words and haven't gone to the list yet!
B'bye Maddie
bye all
Kitty, She understands it better, I tried the clueing way, she didn't understand, so I do it this way.
and happy babbling!!!! i will probably be on tomorrow so i will speak then!!! bye for now!!!!!!!!!!
I never use the list, but then I rarely finish either :)
bye Maddie!!
Is hershy in the house at the moment?
ty for all your help everyone!!!!!
bye, maddie, Hi exWren!
you're welcome Maddie
It would be very early for her, ex-Wren. - happy birthday for yesterday, by the way.
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'
Hi Wren! Did you have a good day yesterday? Hurshy generally comes on later, afternoon our time
I had a hard time too, but then just gave away the consonants and clued the vowels
I kind if hate to do it that way, don't want to give it away to others, but that is all she understood.
*of
I like Kitty's sort of clues better - Maddie needs to be more patient and think about them, that's all.
true amanda, I tried and tried to clue, but she kept saying she didn't understand. I think she is just really young.
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!
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.
True Haz!
she leaves herself logged in generally I think
Good to know you had a good day. Hurshy, like me, may stay logged in all the time, even when not here.
I stay logged in all the time also
So do I, I can never be bothered to log out
same here
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**"
I agree, seemed obvious to me, but she couldn't grasp it.
*refresh* for very happy (and muddy) spaniel at the beach last night
Is she really trying to understand the clues or is she just impatient and wants the words right off?
OK, I just wanted hershy to chech out my icon. It's for Hershys Chocolate!
I'm not sure Kitty. I am thinking they want them handed to them, I could be wrong.
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
I just have a hard time believing that she doesn't understand the clues, how ever simple they might be
Atalante - I love it! That tongue hanging out and the look of contentment!
Maybe we should simply ask MrP!
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.
Atalante! happy puppy! and a cutie!
she was having such a wonderful time! running through the very squelchy mud and chasing seagulls!
Spangle has a thing about chasing birds as well. The triumph of hope over experience!
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.
Oh, hi Ata! I missed you as I was busy analyzing the minds of children - something I actually know next to nothing about.
Oh, such a happy puppy! :D
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 ....
is it actually possible to analyse children's minds? lol
hi everybody! i've been lurking and trying to get through the list, still have 12 left!
that's after going through the list!
I have 39 left and a HUGE headache lol
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)
Hi fran!!
Hello FranMag - you'll be able to clue the rest of us then.
Wow, fran, that's excellent!
haz, i'll help with what i can until i get too sleepy
is there a secret to the z words?
Hi Fran!
hi again cat!
Hello Haz, Hello Fran
Hi Atlante
manic, one z is a greek letter
manic, not if you know greek and japanese!
hi preethi
Hello preethi - are you well today?
awwww deutsch - that must be remarkably amusing to watch!
let me know if you want clues manicmama!
Wow! Breaking announcement - CNN has *new video* of Zarkawi's DNA! Geez, that's something the world needs to see!
the zo was actually very easy for me, almost identical to my Grandmothers name.
ze4/9 - middle name of Catherine, wife of Michael Doublas
And the second Z is a japanese sandal
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.
Douglas,even
video of DNA? that must be - um - fascinating viewing!
Iam doing good. Thank you. How have you been Haz?
Boy, let me tell you! Did you know that DNA looks like a military duffle bag? I certainly didn't!
I've been pretty busy the past few days but the sun is shining so everything looks good.
I knew that amanda, mine looks like a denim backpack :)
got both of the z's thanks you guys
at least you've got DNA in the news. All we've had for the last week is Wayne Rooney's foot
I think mine looks like a pink straw basket
lol
who is wayne rooney
did anyone get the at6/18?
Ata - I've got CNN international running in the background. Otherwise I'd only have Michael Ballack's calf
wayne rooney is a footballer, who broke a bone in his foot. which was national trauma and has occupied the news for weeks
no to the at 6
I havent Fran, missing that one
urf. Ballack's calf must be just as boring
Atalante, was rooney set to play in the world cup?
He's considered to be the star player for the team.
I am in US ...but I understand....sometimes the media goes gaga over the most trivial of news
Ooh, then I'm sorry to hear that.
the at6 is when you are absorbed in somthing, you are at**** upon it. Or where the sleeping bag is when camping.
of the scale that the general opinion is that we'll win the world cup with him, and not without him *sigh*
He's not nearly as decorative as some of the other team members, but he is a good player (so they say).
thanks amanda! i thought i had tried that!
And yes, Ballack's calf is quite boring - but at least he's cuter than Wayne Rooney. Or decorative, as Haz says
Rooney certainly isn't very decorative. Thank goodness for the Italians!
found the at7/28, anyone want a clue?
oooo the Italians! I generally like to look at the Dutch boys, too. And the South Americans almost always have plenty to offer.
I'm with you on that one, Atalante!
yes please fran
the at7/28 becomes the 8
If it's free, we'll take it Fran!
still looking for the sleeping bag
Thanks amanda, got it :)
But no Paulo Maldini this time round. That's a serious blow to the attractiveness of the World Cup
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
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!
manic, just as she clued ...at plus what you put your sleeping bag in while camping, or, a pup ****
at7/28, at + overused, the 8 is the past tense of it
I'd like to see that, Amandacath!
think you should, amanda. nothing wrong with utter shallowness and ogling at footballers :)
they are great clues...when you remember there are TWO A's in the grid...8-)
Ohhhhh, they have some gorgeous footballers don't they!!
Got them - thank you.
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).
Well, I think I'll toddle off to bed. see y'all later (unless you're watching the footballers! I hope to)
Bye Deutsch - sleep well.
bye Deutsch :)
See ya deutch!
night deutsch
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
en plus spanish aunt?
bad monkeys! thx cat!
good morning everyone! This looks like a real stinker. Small and mean.
lol, you're welcome amanda, my monkey misbehaves all the time ! :)
good morning Eva!
Mornin' Eva! I pulled up the list after about 40 words - no patience today
Good morning Eva. I've got to 68 but am thinking of the list. The t letter is entirely over-represented.
since when is L4/5+y not a word!?
I tried that as well, amanda.
I wondered that too
I just tired "doody" and giggled while doing so :D
lol
I'm feeling very mature today
hee-hee!
lottie and dottie, the tottie sisters aren't allowed in either.
lottie and dottie who own a rottie, even!
Yes!
yes, and it won't go pottie
Totti should be accepted today, in honor of the World Cup
Totti should be accepted any day LOL
i tried zoot, for the old time "zoot suits"
I tried zoot too, several times
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!
Its bad enough within Maldini, but without Totti too? Unthinkable!
Zoot should be a word, nooooo, instead the have words like krooni LOL
So do we request a world cup grid!??
*they
mrpresident! Good evening!
hi mrp!!!
Hi MrP! Yes, let's!
Nooo! no offence to any and all footy fans here, but I can't stand football (or much any sports really)
Hello everyone!!
Hello mr P!
good morning everybody:)
Hi jean
Good morning, jean.
Hi jean

the at7
at and di. dont know the other yet
AAAAARGH!
thanks Ata, will search for the di
there is a TE7.32
Morning all. Just come to write out the grid. Seems from chat it's not a nice one?
thanks lynxxx!
morning jacula
thanks lynxxx!
there is a di7 meaning *same here* past tense
clue for the te?
Hi Jac! I'm finding it a bit trying.
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?
Check out my icon.:-)
Giggle giggle, Jac! Good one!
TeeHee! That's a funny one Jacula
thanks mrp, got it!
I second the request for a hint for the te7
atalante, the te is stupid ! ... it includes the ro4 meaning past tense of ride
thanks mrp! I could have sworn I'd tried that before!
thanks mrp. Have no idea what it means, but that's true of many of the words in thi grid
Thanks for the di7 mrpresident.
30 to go. now I'm going to go and cuddle my pup for a bit! back later :)
no probs!
nice icon Jacula
this ro6/18 grid is going to leave me with dr5/12 all over my chin!
morning...
morning angel
hello angelsong!
Good morning Angelsong.

Morning Angel *sings "of the morning, angel"*
hi jacula, angelsong, pinecone, eva!
morning angelsong :)
good morning angelsong
hi fran
you *can* have one of those, cat
cat-the do one does indeed exist
yikes, sorry LOL I missed that one!
cat said a word!! ;-)
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.
The cheap and gaudy ta6/39 may sound like Miss Hepburn, but she was never this.
lol Fran
Oh dear, Angel! Hope you're feeling better
nice clue haz!
poor angel!! hope today is better!
oh angel-how frightening. Why did you fall?
That was the first word I saw today, Haz. Yesterday my first words were "fine ar**" - I'm beginning to be concerned about myself!
i hope there were no after affects angelson!
i want detente to be in this grid!
or after effects, i mean.
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.
oh Lo**y, why can't I use that?
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.
Poor Angel! You'd best take it easy today. (((HUGS)))
i tried also cat!!
later eva!
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.
Hope all is well (((angel)))
We'll try and shake it around Eva.
bye eva
jacula, love your new icon!
good thing I finished yesterday's grid very early.
anyone have the de5/12?
yep... de + what you breath
also the chat log is screwing up again for me. I keep having to reload-long gaps.
now I do. Thx, MrP!
you're kidding! what kind of word is that? thanks mrp!
a dumb frustrating word and this is taking too long!!
te7?
i need that one too angelsong
te7 - a four-poled battery?
te plus past tense of tread and a vowel ending
great clue amanda!!
glad it worked!
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
that's as good a reason as any kittyvane!
how many words are there today please?
131 jean
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
We've been waiting for our bedroom and living room doors for a few months now
thanx franmag & mr president
oops, that should be do**s ;)
tetria = tendonitis from too much tetris-playing
i think i've actually had that amanda! ;-)
what a beauty word amanda!
guess what!!?
ooh, kitty said a word! ;-)
you're done?
What, mrpresident?
like a dogs dinner!! *~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*
yay mrpresident!!
Yay for mr P! :D
Congratulations!
congratulations mrp
Congrats, MrP!
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!!
de6/21?
MrP - Maddie is your little one, isn't she?
de6/21 take and hold onto
Good Morning all....and congrats MrP
Hi Kallia!
good morning kallia
Amanda, Maddison is my little one... Maddie is a young one from mps school
I have Babble-rhitis too Amandacath
I'm at the halfway mark. Time to have something to eat. BRB
MrP: would you like me to post a link to your website on the Resource page?
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??
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?
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.
mrp,,,,, they dont realise the dangers of the web and one keeps giving names out!!
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
aargh! thanks mrp, finally got that clue, i'm being really dense!
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
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
Thanx, Mr. P. now not so dense! I am off to curves to work out. bbl
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?
later phandmd
am off for a while folks hopefully bbl have a good day everyone:)
just got the dr6/27, it should make for some interesting clues, there is no def at dictionary.com
bye phan, bye jean
later jean
bye jean
I keep seeing "totoro" in the grid :D
kitty, if you haven't tried already, part of that word works
dr6/27 - an arid piece of land? Hmmm, that's boring. Will have to mull that one over...
I have that word
hence I came about To**** :)
Oh, I give up - anyone have the te5/12?
amanda, i was thinking it was related to dr* goods at a supply store or something
Going to take a break. I'll be back later.
amanda, rhymes with stained
Mr Clemens is back in the grid.....
maybe a bunch of people with no sense of humor? "My, this is a d6!"
later haz!
that's a good one amanda! i liked the other one too though
Off to lala land, bye everyone, have a great day/night/afternoon :)
night cat!
Ah! found the te - didn't see that e up at the top!
Thx, Fran
evening all...
gm everyone how many words today?
in6/18? i have the intuitive one
131 judy
what does the 8 start with please
hi kathy and judy
thank you fran
at kallia
in6 - where you sleep when camping
ty fran...in6/18...meaning to.
thanks amanda and kallia, i can't believe i missed that one!
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!
there is lfe after the T's.
hmmm, thanks mrP
my new phantom word, trident
got the 8 ty Fran :)
I so sound like a mum!! I to** you so!!
awesome kallia!
am struggling with 45 to go
all those t's get in the way!
oh! whoops, i get it now...
i have 3 left, still struggling!
I have 65 to go and I'm struggling already!
well done Fran :)
I may have to get the list soon
60 left an droppin slowly
i hit the list after 83 words, i was totally stuck
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...
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
would that be to do with patience Amanda?
:)
mrp - you must be jesting - right?
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!
Brandy Jack not doing it anymore?
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
And yes, Kallia - patience is not one of my virtues!
mine neither so recognise the trait :)
how can we persuade him to keep doing in - for the sanity of us babblers :)
Any clues for the other word for the second N? I have the one meaning not messy.
oh, amandacath! i always thought you were so patient. just because us kids dont get things...
maybe lickety and brandy jack could get a rota going?
kitty, like something you catch butterflies with, just double the last letter
weight after all packaging is removed Kitty
Kitty - the other 'n' is your wages after tax etc is taken.
Thank you Fran!
is brandy jack backing out?? I didn't know that! where is this in the log... I have to look!
kallia said a word!! ;-)
and Jacula too
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
100 words down!
go angelsong!
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.
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!!
Maybe he felt sidelined?
Did he say that jac?
Dunno, MrP. I didn't see the log.
ok...
brandyjack's list is needed! I hope he continues doing it.
tr5/20 anyone?
we need to tell him that Angelsong
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.
tr+ 1st 3 letters of the "seep" word.
Oh my - I'll have to quit babble without the list :(
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.
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.
thanks dianne, got it just as your clue came up, never thought to go that way!
Just a suggestion.
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!!!
That's a wierd word - any clue what it means? (the tr5/20, I mean)
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.
Good Morning All..
Hi Aly!
ummm Aloy, that is
so no clue list for a couple of weeks?? I guess brandyjack would have to come back!
morning Aloy...well afternoon here :)
I am relieved to hear that BJ is not ill, but it saddens me to think that he might think his list is unappreciated.
tr5/20 def from wikipedia: a municipality located in the Belgian province of Liège
It used to take me SO long to complete a grid - it is doable without lists, but just barely (if you have a life!)
Maybe if people put their thoughts, suggestions, appreciation of BJ on his stats thread on BabAnon he might have a re-think?
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
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
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.
And that's me finished! Argh, that can't be it, Fran .... will go hunting for it
yay amanda!
Wow, hurray for amandacath!
wd amanda :)
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.
MrP - That's rather worrying! You're not planning to poison poor Lickety, are you?? LOL
Well done Amanda!
to6/21 and to6/18?
Well done, Amanda!
merk, except for the last two they are unrelated to each other
to6/21 - it when your blown your horn,
of course it is dianne! i was looking in the wrong direction again. thanks!
Thanks, Dianne. I hadn't thought to work backwards on that word.
to6/18 - think of the word that means make a hem and instead of an s start it with a t.
only did it with the list - it's a trying grid today
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.
A clue for at 5/10 and on please?
well we can go back to the old way....just clue it :)
thanks dianne, will ponder that clue
merk, clue at 6:42
found the def for tr5/20 - alt spelling for "close-fitting tartan trousers"
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.
lOL amanda.. now everyone should have that in their vocabs!
well done Amanda...was thinking it might be something like that ! Thank you for the info :)
Yes Jacula I see that could be a problem.....
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.
How did we manage pre-google?
Badly I'd say
Amanda - we used those paper things called books! LOL.
well I hae got one word in the last 30 mins...
merk, it starts from the bottom A, so do the other ATs
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)...
atrial
I do that too Aloy
Fran - think of the opp of lengthen - but drop the s and add a t.
Hi Kallia..
I was wondering only the other day how many public libraries Google has put out of business.
I just stated a new thread in BA under General for the Babble "Lists"....
thanks dianne! got that one and my fireworks!
Dianne thank yo for that clue :)
books - ah yes, I remember the days...
Jacula... think of the poor dinosaurs called encyclopedia salesmen!
WD Fran :)
Yay, FranMag!
Aloy - No loss! The old Brittanica chaps who took over people's homes for hours. LOL
Angel - Will look in a bit.
Yes, I remember...
Oh my Jacula...I remember those too!
Good grief, I am so blind sometimes. I've been starting with the wrong 'a'. "I saw the light."
I spoke to Lickety...
Why isn't 'roly' a word? What about jam roly poly? Or those large ladies who dance?
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
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?
good grief Jacula...are they still around?
Amanda - I'm glad it's not just me. I always sayI think better with a pen in my hand.
Kallia - not sure.
MrP - What did he say?
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
anyone mps?
What is mps?
although I have gotten quite addicted to the little dictionary widget OSX has
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.
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...
i heart lickety's list
That is great news, MrP..(-:
Thanks MrP & Lickety. You will have made many people all around the world very ahppy!
*happy
tell him ty from us all MrP
I also like Licety's list, and I just went to it as I was getting utterly and totally stuck
Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou to Lickety!
So a great big thank you to Lickety!
I wish that pesky troll would go away LOL...keep seeing it!
I keep seeing nitrite..
That was my phantom too, Kallia!
Me, too, Kallia! (The troll.)
i keep seeing orzo!
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!
hi all - my phantom is otter - keep seeing them everywhere!
good morning
I keep seeing "attire" and giggling at the non-word "doody"
33 left to find and the o's are giving me gip. Breaktime, methinks. BBL.

Good morning Anniebrook - you're welcome abe.
HORRAY! Thank you Aloyisius and Haz!

am working on dr6/27 and can't believe *****y is unacceptable.. any ideas?
Jac, how fun is glassgiant.com--wow!!! :-D
It's one that I'm missing as well - clued earlier as being an arid place?
oh, i guess she's already left . . .
h'mm, it's a challenge..
dr6/27 - compound word, arid place to leave your car?
got It! took a L** of time, but fun to find : add L** to "arid", Haz
Vicuna... I like your clue better!
Just got it as well! I was looking the wrong way.
me too..
thanks, aloyisius!
yw
It doesn't come up with any real definition, so I think mine must be right! (ha ha)
I'm certain..
No question.
Thanks Aloyisius, I was looking the wrong way too.
can any one help me with the "T" that can only have one word made from it? I'm stuck! AGAIN!
I have it but need to work it out.
Is your grey matter t*** in knots?
Sometimes mine is!
t + ri4
tr5/10 - a word that means hackneyed or overused
Omigosh... the volcano is back again! (-:
thanks for saying bye to masterp Haz! he got 16 words and is so over the moon
I NEVER see that blasted volcano!
Good for him! And he must have got them on his own, so that makes it even more special.
Oh yeah! the smile said it all!!
how old is he, MrP?
He is 7 years old!
That's most impressive, MrP! Start 'em young!
WOW... a budding Babbling genius! That is just great; tell him he is awesome..
could I have a clue for the at words : - )
Hey Everyone! Our MasterPresident is one cool little dude, I'm so proud.
vicuna -- is that one of your own prints as your icon?
He was hoping to get 10 words and he exceeded his own expectations! gotta be such a blast to do that at that age!
heart chambers: at5
I need help with di - 7 letters?
He is doing fantastic
Yes, evanadine, it is. Three Wise Men of Gotham, really, but it was my nearest approach to yesterday's "navy" theme.
yes, indeed... MasterP is off to a fab start..
pay AT****ion! (at6)
di 7 = past tense of di 5
mrp, pardon me for not saying hi to masterp! so sorry, was weary of strangers this morning!
me too, abe
so understandable Abe!!
at6/18 - usually ends in -ion or -ive as in Pay at----ion!
i think it's great that he's into the babble!
Thank you for all the clues :)
di7: relicated again
attentir
well, his sister hogs the computer so it is nice for him to get on and have a bash at the grid!
Kateq - what is the di 5 word? i don't have that one?
whoops... replicated
Sorry - monkey typing!!
di5 = repeat, same as above
this is some grid today. my brain hurts!
so does mine! Today I hate Ds and Is!
Don't you just hate it when they are not even proper words!!
anyone have the other in 6/18? I have the one that means aim or purpose
Thanx that helped?
sorry - i mean that helped!
I'm working on that one too, Kateq
in6 - inbred or nature
TY!
ah, thanks MrP..
hrmmm...thats going over my head...
mine too
Lordy, but this is a rooten-tooten, roly-poly grid, none of which is allowed.
LOL
Good Morning Babblers :)
Hi faerieka

Hello, faeriekae.

oh, ok.. the other ti4 sounds like a dictator
The motion of the ocean
glenn.. can't believe I missed that...thnx
dite
oops.sorry about that
and have you ti** your shoes today?
tr5/20 - hard to believe it's a word but if you add up the necessary letters there are only a small number of possiblilities to monkey-type!
anyone have the last lo5?
kukana, i looked up the meaning of that tr5/20 and none was given, lol. must need a monkey type dictionary
thanks, kukana
you mean the past tense of visiting the restroom?

I need a z word
btw, hello everyone...You guys can call me angela
catherine z***-Jones
The z words are ze4/9 and zo4/9 - sounds like a single word apology
thanks
RRR - tr5/20 - add a double vowel and a high scoring letter.
zoly? LOL, Haz., only kidding. I got it really.
rrr--if it helps, it is the name of a place in Belgium--tr*** and rhymes with a slang word for alcohol
gm Jacula, love your icon
I had every confidence in you, Jacula!
Re that tr/10 - I'm singing 'Donald where's yer tr******s.':)
thanks - got it! it's a word??

Hiya Angela.

Angela - not got it myself. Sorry.

The 8 letter word is a past tense of at7/28. at plus a word that means overused or hackneyed.
Got the at7 & 8 now. Thanks cluers!
wtg, jacula!
21 to go.

Angela - at8 without the end.
We've just clued it. Add the past tense letter to get the 8.
argh.. I'm down to 7 and hungry, but want to finish before eating...
I''ve got 37 to go but I'm fading fast.
Sounds like you're all going down like flies!

still cooking up a storm Jacula? Is Anj still around?
Do you have the sicilian volcano (et4/4) or en5/10, inborn characteristic, or en5/10 en plus spanish aunt?
no, thanks haz
Swmbo - Yes. The recipe thread's still fairly active. Anj hasn't been around lately, nor Lola, nor Lotti.
oh, no, that is too bad
hey I am back and this looks hard!
This is harder than some grids, but not impossible. Take your time and you'll be surprised at how many words there are.
I need the r
hello aqua, I am Angela
itsonme - there are too many r's to clue. Can you be more specific?
the top right r
It's a four letter word ry4/6 - looks like a Mediaeval street disturbance
ok, angela..think of an uprising, a bad scene.. and put the sometimes vowel after the r
I have it
thanks
hot dog
Hello Angela. Nice to meet you!

I need both of the O's with the O that only has 2 words
Oh, do go and eat, we wouldn't want you to swoon away!

Taking another break (well, off to do laundry, clean hurches etc). Be back for last 10 words later.
Happy Babbling all!x
oh, sorry, sorry, sorry
*hutches!
bye, Jacula
itsonme - look carefully at the letters immediately below the o you mean. It should become obvious what the words are.
I need 1 of the E's (the 1st e on the last row)

ed4/5 and ed6/21 are what you're looking for
Sorry - I misread. Scrap that.
Afternoon Haz, just popped in to say hello, I'm not babbling again (boohoo, is the grid better than it first looks? Your clues are really whetting my appetite :)
hello mitch
Hello Fmitch! It's a funny grid, it seems to get off to a slow start but I managed to get quite a few before turning to the list.
jump in fmitch.....it's fine.....
Good luck finishing Haz, (I'm sure you will) and see you over the weekend.
im going to go...bye everyonhe
This a very deceiving grid, looks easy until you start and then you stare at looking ......
good bye angela.
Thanks - I have finished but I really must go and do some more important (wash my mouth out) things.
bye angela
Thanks harpjane but work and deadlines have been ruling this week (nice to see you BTW).

bye aqua spring
bye aqua spring
at 8= at+ t 5/12 past tense
this has been a long babble week, in my opinion
i suppose having the t5/12 would help in this cause..
CADFAN, WHAT IS THE SECOND LETTER OF THE T5 you mention?
I didn't get a chance to play at all yesterday...
yesterday was a bit rough, jera, i can't quite explain why. i think we were all zonked from the 326 board on wednesday
hetty, tr not left
I think I've had time for about half the words this week...
Thanks, seejay
Could I have a hint for the 8?
or one for the t5/12?
Never mind, had a hunch & I was correct...
dorie
sorry ...

Greetings, everyone!!!!!
hi movieman
hello movieman
Cluez for the z's would be nice.....

Catherine **** jones is a good actress
and gorgeous too
Got 'em, ty.....
Back from my walk and still stuck. Does anyone have a clue for the de6/21 please?
abe - or6 is more a holy word than a fishy one.;)
you are right about that jacula! thanks!
y/w, abe.
heh, thanks jac... I was stuck on that one
Merk - did you take your walk unhindered or were you de****ed by people stopping you to chat? (Clue!)
Howsabout cluez for the 7's & the 8 plz?
te7/32? any takers?
clue for 8 at 9:43 mm
thanks Jacula...didn't have that one! Just got back to tackle last few
few being 41 lol
Kallia - I'm just back to find my last 10 whilst having a teabreak.
Yes, I was de**** by someone. Thanks.
ok rub it in :)
y/w Merk.
aroint & anoint aren't in today's grid, Kallia. LOL.
LOL
I still have 48 to go... but it's my kids first day of summer break. I usually have the morning to myself
Jac - could you elaborate on that de6 clue plz?
that bottom O is stubborn...wont give up any words
specificity - I should make the most of it then!
Movieman - de6 - the police often do it to suspects.
Yup, movieman,then they retain them in custody
Kallia - there's a smelly word from that 'o'. (Think American spelling.)
Jac, that counts as coming from the top o.
ah thanks Jac...dratted Americnisms! :)
yep so it does lol
Got it, thanx all..... Gotta go, it's the opening ceremony of the World Cup......... BBL.......
Kallia - also a church calendar from that 'o'.
Kallia - also a church calendar from that 'o'.
Vicuna - didn't notice which 'o' it came off when I got it. It works either way, anyway.
Oops! Log's sticking.
'Bye Movieman.
I know, but I can't figure out either word from the bottom o, so it matters to me!
Okay, I got the one I presume to have to do with the church...
Vicuna - the church calendar works off the bottom 'o'. Or4/5.
me too Vicuna
The holy or6 works off either 'o'.
ty Jac got that now
the other rhymes ith booted
oo5/10 (Scots for chill & sad) works off bottom 'o'.
Aha! Thanks specificity!
Specificity - thanks! I didn't have the o5/12.
you're welcome
ty all...thats the O's away
good morning!
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...
Good morning, jrh.
Good morning, jrh.
go Jac :)
i jrh
hi even!
the grid's awfully small today
good morning all
i may have to explore real life...
I'm trying to avoid real life today! I have 3 fighting munchkins and have already had to rescue the kitten twice!
good morning good morning all! jrh, still from Bhutan I see.... LOL
jrh -- the chatter last night was that though small this grid is mighty. Do not be deceived by appearances, young padawan! :-)
okay, that makes me feel better
bhutan is a lovely country in downtown kansas city
Wow, stidmama, you are so profound!
fighting munchkins would be great action figures
*grin* I know -- have you tried just changing your location in your profile?
seems like a lot effort
of course, I'm not really sure how to pronounce the "h" in Bhutan.
same as the h in "bedroom"
ROFLMAO Vicuna! that was very funny!
LOL!
Vic, here's your merit badge for cleverness.
wear it with pride :)
of course, jrh, you could always just learn about Bhutan and then let us know what's happening in "your" country...
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...
great idea Stid, i've already learned they speak Dzongkha in Bhutan.
Dzongkha would be an excellent catch phrase.
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.)
If anyone is interested in the results of yesterday's MyersBriggs discussion I put a link up to the results in my profile...
BUT -- how do I prounounce the D in Dzongkha? LOL
I have no answer for that one, stidmama! :)
I'm gonig for "da-zong-ka," cause that sounds cool.
cool story, vic.
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... )
A princess of Jordan went there, too, although that was before my time. She returned as a graduation speaker one year.
and how shall we use our new word, jrh? like "huzzah" perhaps?
I was thinking in lieau of "yowser"
stid - since I can't get into ezboard at work anymore...what is your M-B type??
that sounds good to me! hmmm... daZONGka!
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.)
as in.. ahem, "What do you think of that jrh?" "That? Well, Dzongkha!"
I am INF and split 50/50 on P/J... hi EB!
As I recall, I score strongly introverted on Myers-Briggs, but kids don't scare me nearly as much as grown-ups.
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?
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.
I'm an ENFJ with strong I & P tendencies...(big surprise, huh??) ; D
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.
Finished!:)
YAY Jacula!
Cheers Jac!!
(anyone know what the theme is today...for some reason I can't get into Babbler's profile...)
Dzongkha, Jacula!
I'm an INTP on the Meyers-Briggs.
Hope you've all have a close look at my new icon?
Lovely chat this a.m., thanks all. Now, Jac, before you disappear--just a little help with de6/30?
*grin* actually, EB, that is one of the less common types so far!
cute Jacula!
and yes, I love your icon
Jacs...I just looked...ROFL!!!
that is sooo funny Jacula! where did you get that?
my nick is in this puzzle you know
its a sign!
stid - I was a corporate trainer & I love acting/singing/performing...
Today's theme is plates. Tomorrow's is 'How you feel when you finish a Babbl puzzle'.
Wyrd, but it's not a valid wyrd in the enable dictionary!!
so you are, Wyrd! congrats on making grid status! LOL and -- are you "wired" or "weird" or "word" ....?
thanks Jac!!
i know!
Stidmama - you can make them at the website shown on the icon.
its pronounced like weird
okay, I will go check them out later. :-)
Wyrd - I tried your name when I first started today's grid.
thanks. Can't promise to get it right all the time... ;-)
hehehe...me too Jacula
Just a flying visit - hetty, a poison which causes mortality would be de6/30
Hetty - de6/30 - lethal!
Wyrd, so did I, great status builder
So it would, Haz, I see it straight away. Fly into my life any time
Yeah, I've never been in a grid. Stidma was once, though.
my 'real' nickname is in here too...(Annie), but that doesn't work either...
Glad to help hetty - back I go to the joys of mail merge.
EB - Tried that, too!
hi/Bye Haz! see you later!
and zool..it should be a word, i saw it on ghostbusters!
Anymore clues required before I go back to the 'joy's of hutch-cleaning?
the other E from the top please? I have the newpaper related ed 4/5
ed6 - newspaper chief
extend it stidmama
Jacula you done?
YUP, I'm done.
had interruption...
ah!
argh. wrap some fish in that newspaper please.... and thanks!
hurrah for Jac :)
I dislike grids with no S...
Stid, cod, trout, pilchards, salmon?
whichever you wish to get rid of Jac! I am in no position to be picky!
200 cans of tuna being thrown in your direction. LOL.
you collect tuna too? LOL
my hubby keeps coming back with the bogoffs....
*ouch* that landed on my pinky toe! :-)
(Not fond of tuna myself but my daughter kept buying multipacks and not eating it!)
Kallia - the bogoff's. Exactly!
and I think "doody" ought to count. my babies always did doodies when they were little....
same here
Sorry, Stid! Not kissing it better though! I don't 'do' feet. LOL.
bogof...buy one get one free stock your cupboards with things you will never eat lol
BTW, BJ was on last night, and has been convinced to bring back his list... (speaking of kissing feet)
s'okay Jacula, the German Shepherd Dog is getting it... along with the tuna juice that spilled1
MrP was saying that Lickety might be taking a break
well, he certainly deserves one...
Oh Help if he takes a break we are in trouble
no Tiny, then we just use BJ's list on Babbler's Anonymous...
ummm... an R from the right top corner? how?
think of an alternate spelling for LA police R***
Great thanks for that anyway 63 words I'm going to bed it is 1:45am here morning all
sleep well Tiny, see you later!
bye all
hm. specificity -- I am not from CA, and don't know much about police!
Hi All. How's it going today?
big news... people hurt
I got it! strange spelling. thanks.
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
hi music
oh, I love literati... but so many people use cheat programs it lost its fun for me
hi musicmom
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.
oh, thanks, stid! that would be fun
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.
BTW I told you the wrong yahoo ID. I'm oumusmom.
okay, will add you to my "list" shall I also tell Woulf?
Time I went back to the grindstone (or rather the rabbit poo!). Happy Babbling all.x
any clues for the i's please..I have one 4, 5, 6
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.
Bye Jacula
that would be great if you would share it with woulf
ooh kallia trade you a 5 for your 6
okay, will do. hi hurshy!
ah but which 5 is it? :)
i have a 5 that is the beginning piece of something (it's really an abbreviation) and one that adds "your bill is past ***"
hi stid
yes, it's tough musicmom. but doable, I have heard.
6 is to do something with meaning
hi hurshy!! long time no see!! : )
later Jacula!
indue
oh fish! hi aunti!
ty it was the bill one I was missing,,,so one i left
ooooooooooooooooooooo!!! drat
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.
me too kallia
Although I have to say I HATE grids without s so I'm not too sad to miss it.
musicmom, i have a knot tying kit...
did you get the 6 hurshy?
yup hence the oh fish!
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:-)
ah...thought that was for me typing a word in the chat lol
I pretty much have to be able to tie them forwards and backwards to help them learn them.
i don't know the knots... my husband gave me the knot tying kit when we got engaged... lol
LOL that's a great marriage gift!
think that's great hurshy!! original :)
Maybe I'll try to remember that for when my daughters get married. I'll give them to the future sons in law
that's very funny!
musicmom - square knot - right over left & under...left over right & under...
:)
east: granny knot is the opposite
Yep never forget that one EB. WE had neckties we had to wear when we were Jrs. that got tied that way
bhutan, wow
isn't that a reef knot Eastern?
i once wrote a poem called "the woe of the unknot"
that's a sorta joke hurshy... daZongka is being used now as a "yowser" type word, but it's the language spoken in Bhutan...
Kallia - maybe we call it different things on various sides of the pond??
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.
it was on the back of my multivariable calculus final, because my professor's specialty was knot theory
Has anyone out there found the dr6/27?
probably :)
LOL Hurshy!
yes I have that.....
hursh - that sounds like a very scary final to a former English major!!
dr 6/27 - two words... "arid area"
stid: joke? are you making fun of my country of origin? I'm a proud to be Bhutanese.
clue for dr6/27...arid building site
i was just disappointed that he didn't give me any points for my beauteous poem
Okay I need to go get to work. I'll probably be here tomorrow.
What can I do to make you offer a clue? (Note Hursh, I write poems too!)
never joke about countries of origin, jrh! only about the strange twists of fate that bring people to babble!
tomorrow musicmom!
hetty 2 clues there , spec and myself
fair enough :)
i miss a 7 and i have the at and the di
I write poems too: hetty and hurshy a wonderful pair with lots of ideas and fantastic hair they lead us to vict'ry each long Babble day when the rest of us murmur "no Babble no mair"
your missing 7 is te hurshy
22 to go...
go specificity go!
thanks kallia, is it a normal word or quite weird?
di 7/36 anyone
Hi Stid, that was a great poem and well deserved praise
past tense of di5/12 majmom

ooof got it!
hetty... think "arid" and his wife turned to salt
That biblical clue was what I needed, thanks spec. Only it still doesn't work---

me, too...adios all
clue for the at8,45 pleeze
past tense of at7/28
at7/28 verb form of what we often hear as a noun meaning the falling off of enrollment in a school

Hi Leslie...
plates...
you haven't really appreciated the preamble til you've heard captain kirk read it though.
hurshy is signing 'school house rock again'
like license plates or any plates?
hi mtnjock!!! it's been ages since I've seen you!! : )
ooh i want a picture of tectonic plates
Leslie - I went with a license plate, but I'm sure it's broad enough to include dinner plates...
or tectonic plates for hurshy!!
home plate?
haha- i just finished- i've reached home plate- now i can start my day!
Bryan - as long as it's for the Yankees : )
oh, that's a good one
oh no Eastern Blue- I'm a Mets fan all the way!
or a plate of glass...
it's been nice speaking to you Bryan!! LOL!!
refresh if you want the tectonic plates
ro 5/12?
beck... where the cowboys compete
haha...can't we all just get along? Mets will have a better record than the Yanks this year, I think...
OMG thank you!!
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
Bryan...sure...I mean you have SOME redeeming qualities if you Babble... 8 D
Hi, everybody! How's the grid today?
it's fine today BGL
except for two T words...
BGL - you & hurshy had the same idea...
our 2 championships are very special to us - 26 is like, gaudy
hurshy, you may want to reconsider your plate icon: http://www.simple.net/Ebay/Plates/Gall ery/PICARD.jpg
lol leslie :)
Eastern Blue- i can't win this argument, so I might as well spin it....
now i'll make enemies of you both: BASEBALL IS SOOOO DULL
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...
it's like, hmm, would i rather watch my fingernails grow or watch baseball? fingernails, no question.
plus - you spell your name the 'right' way (my grandfather spelled his name that way too)...
hurshy - the reason I love baseball is that I can do other things while my hubby watches it... : )
has T7 been clued? It's my last word and I'm completely stuck.
well that's a good reason :)
i am so hurt i can't speak... sniffle
My husband and I met in the parking lot after a baseball game (Padres vs GIants)
*pats Bryan on back* there, there...
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
TE7/32 Nickname for Chinese New Year + RO 4/5
give me college hockey & lacrosse (live - not on t.v.) and I'm happy....
thanks EB! my mom likes baseball for the same reasons too - playoff hockey is good
how can lordy NOT be a word...Southern women everywhere are very upset!!
yeah, and drooly
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)
and doodly
bye Bryan...be careful of the the one-armed bandits!!
Specificity, was that the T7 that you needed?
Lordy was one of the first words I tried... it IS a word in my vocab!
had to be merk, there's only one
yes... but I'm just... brain-fried, lol
ty, merk... I WILL find it
haha i will blue... bye...
grr my monkeys are not doing a very good job
Think back to Vietnam and the Te* offensive war of Chinese New Year. 3 letter word. Add the ro4/5
Yay! thanks merk!!!
*hands hurshy some bananas* you have to remember to bribe them!!!
Who are we bribing? I can be bought. Maybe for ice cream.
Merk - hurshy's monkeys...she has 2 more t's to find & the monkeys aren't helping...
there aren't more than 2 tw's, are there?
which Ts, hurshy?
Only two
dunno specificity, a 4 and a 5, i'm listless
We've had both used in the last while. tw 5. British, it was divided in tw***
yes i have the tw's
aha got the 4 at last! just one left then!
Are the rankings changed when the new puzzle comes out or after you finish and get the fireworks?
when the new puzzle comes out
after the new puzzle
i think it's about 10 minutes after the new puzzle
wasn't olde in a puzzle a couple of days ago? Why sin't it now?
no BGL, it's never taken though we always wish it were
Because you can get more points if you change the last letter.
It must have been in a recent crossword, then. I know I've used it recently
Think of records when you listen to a golden ol**
i have ta5/10, te 5/12, to5/10 x 2, to 5/12, 4 tr5 and tw5, which T5 might i be missing?
Merk - what's a record?? *wink*
has the 1 word for R been clued at all
hurshy, for t5s, there are 1 TA, 1 TE, 3 TO, 5 TR, 1 TW
aha, another TR then
top right corner
ok i have group of 3, attempted, commonplace, and...the end of the te7
Ange - like a big fight, with police - but a different spelling...
do you have the one with double vowles?
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.
ryot
shoot
sorry
That was an oops AngeC
no specificity that must be it
me too, merk
Don't feel bad. That is so easy to do.
bye Merk...
good golly the last thing you'd ever think of!
ok i'm done.
yay hurshy!
Bye See you tomorrow maybe, perhaps, possibly, who knows?
huzzah for hursh!!
woo hoo hurshy!!
Congrats, hurshy!
That makes three of us in the last minute or so. Congrats to all of us!
nice job merk!
my monkeys say "how did you expect us to think of that one?"
woo hoo Merk!!
your monkeys talk??!
a very merry un-birthday to us, to us
ok... I'm gone... I'll attempt to survive hte 11+ hours till the next puzzle
occasionally leslie. like if they are real annoyed like that.
woo hoo specificity - didn't realize you'd finished too...
nice job, specificity!
okay, back to the office... have a good afternoon, all. And good luck.
bye BGL...
afternoon babblers!
hi evanadine!!
hello eva
bye bgl!
anyone see anj or lola round these parts anymore?
evanadine - I haven't been playing much lately...this is my first grid in awhile...so I'm not sure...
i haven't, eva
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
ahh, good to hear... im not on as much these days myself, just wondering how they were... guess i could drop anj an email. :)
she has NOT eloped with anj, contrary to some of our fanciful speculations, promised she'd tell us if that happened... :)
if you see them (or send a note), please send my regards & hello's...
ok
wouldn't that help with her British citizenship?? tee hee hee!!
i suppose it would :)
I'm down to 31 to go...still listless but definitely out of the groove of babble...
have any babblers really eloped? that'd be fun
jrh - not that I know about...but wouldn't it???
65 to go here
as far as i know, if lola and anj got married they would be the first marriage resulting from babble
wow, interesting stuff
it's hard jumping back& forth between this & work...
quit work......it won't be so hard
eastern: you're obviously paying too much attention to work.
have there been any divorces resulting from babble?
oh really, they met online? i thought they were an item before they started babbling
I'm at work... of course I've been logged on all morning, but have only played about thirty minutes
ah, if only I could...
lol jane, that's probably a better question :)
harp - ROFL!!!
harp: too cute
:)
it is my understanding that they met through babble but i could be mistaken
that's something to tell the grandkids
hursh - I think you're correct...
well that is really cute. now i do want them to elope :)
hi guys, can I pls have a clue for both the z words, using the points, and monkey typing but it is not happening
phand: replace the b in beta and the l in lori.
one's a greek letter
one is married to michael douglas
I swear I typed both of those and it didn't take it before (muerous of times)
te5? I have all the other te's but can't get the 5.
jrh-I've always wanted to visit Bhutan. Are you a citizen?
te + the state between IL and OH abbr.
Dzongkha!
harp: no, not really. it's a bit of a profile mix-up
what in the world does that mean?
Good morning, everyone. This looks hard today -- I'm already tearing my hair out and I've only been here for 5 minutes. lol.
thanks! (wrong t!)
hey spark
Dzongkha is the primary language in Bhutan
jrh, so are you speaking dzeutch?
all right then
i thought it would be weird that there was a "missouri" in bhutan
any clues for the LO5/12 plz?
it would be odd
I think "Dzongkha" would be a great exclamation... in lieau of yowser :)
that's what i was thinking, like you found the 8 or something :)
jakes-mum - went to the bathroom in britain?
hurshy: that's all I could think of too!
{Blush} ty hurshy
Jrh, you were promoting Dzongkha when I left, and you're still at it now?
someone else asked about Bhutan
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?
nomatter what the chatlog reads, I have not been promoting Dzongkha for four or five hours
oh i didn't have to say in britain cause you're there :)
willy nilly!!!
lol jrh
spark: I do the letters one at a time. I'm retentive.
dzongkha would get you lots of babble points
i have a system of willy-nilliness though
spark, i go letter by letter to get all i can at first, then go sort of willy-nilly with the list
Well, it would have been very persistent of you if you had!
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?
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.
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
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...
...and then all h#%& breaks loose...
spark: however, I do enter words if I spy them outside the letter I'm working on.
...and then I beg for clues & use the lists... 8 )
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?
it shouldn't trouble you if it's a W and it goes w-w-w-w!
and I find the clues given here to be pretty interesting. I usually enter them in too.
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.
And I'm finished at last.
every day spark barring nasty travel or some such problem
hurah, faeriekae
er, I mean Dzongkha!
Congrats, faeriekae! I finish every day I start.
woo hoo faerie!!
Oh wow I'm done too that is too weird!!!!!!!!
Yay for shorty!
I finish every meal I start.. some I didn't
Congrats Shorty!!!!
Dzongkha! shorty
spark - when I do jump into a grid, I try my darndest to finish...
I also finish every meal LOL
woo hoo Shorty!!!
aw, go and make me hungry why don'tcha
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to finish one & my stats dropped immensely!!!
I, too, occasionally finish meals I didn't start! :)
thank god(s)! I haven't been able to get all day till now!
i've only finished one grid since i've joined. BUt my goal is at least half the words b4 i give up
ya folks/
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
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.
I always finish my desserts
Yay for dessert!
why early days, why? i ask myself, lifting my hands skyward
Vicuna What part of New England are you from?
That's a noble goal Praes!
I hear ya Vicuna I'm afraid to even look at mine.
Shorty, I'm in Needham, a suburb of Boston.
Vicuna I used to live in Norwood
The top right r, plz?
I used to go to Needham all the time.
a big fight but different spelling
the upper r has me stumped too.
Was that where you're from, faerie? And what brought you to Needham?
hey movieman, monkey type some ry's
weird spelling of an angry crowd for the top r
upper r4/6, sound slike the mob in the streets
teet
No the farm wasn't in Norwood that was here in Michigan but My exhubby lived in Needham for 6yrs and has lots of friends still there
ok I have just one left an l5.. Icnat see it !
is that an i or an L, kallia?
how many points are there today?
do you have the one that is the beginning of something kallia
kallia are you sure? i thought we covered both i5's?
sorry L
ohhhL
1400 points exactly
I see. Are the ex-hubby's friends in Needham your friends, too?
ok so it is a 5/10
kallia, do you have the one clued a bit ago, past tense of using the bathroom in britain?
beginning of gov't run sweepstakes, kallia
yes I have that Leslie :)
Vicuan - Yup.....Steve & Leslie Duncan and Rose Wayman
Vic - Also Brian & Donna Hebert
master jedi, found you , i have
LOL thanks hurshy, though could swear I tried that a few times...
yay kallia!!
work , you do not
LOL, Praes!
ok that coffee break sure helped :)
it's a shame it doenst work
Nope, I don't think I know any of them, faerie! Oh well, the Small World game is always worth a try!
*hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm*
(Was that "It's a Small World," hurshy?)
Vic-yup it is a very small world.
natch
it's a world of laughter a world of tears...
that song needs better lyrics
"Hmmm hmmm hmmmmm hmmm" seems to work fine for lyrics.
at least for the crash test dummies
it's a world of babble, a world of grids it's a world with chatlogs so full of stids there's so many to find so get back to the grind it's a grid world after all
Is the chatlog full of any stids at the moment?
Sometimes it's a chatlog with trollish kids...
don't think so but you know it does tend to be :)
well yes but i didn't wish to dwell on unpleasant topics
any clues?
Just coming up with alternate rhymes! a chatlog of desparate bids (to get clues)
Leave an epitaph to trolls hurshy - in case any happen to read the log at this time!
lort
any clues for lo5/12?
*whenever i see your smiling face, i have to smile myself, because i love you*
lol
a chatlog full of people who have flipped their lids... But the rhythm doesn't quite scan on that one...
that's my fav song
well originally vi i was going to put "it's a world for bringing up babbling kids"
i like it too smiling, and i love "something in the way she moves"
Oh yes. And what a wonderful world that would be!
can't go wrong with JT in general.
i need help with the w words
waint
oops
there are (at least) three wa 4/8s, itsonme
and one of those can be made past tense
i have 2
i have 6
thanks les...
i will take any clues on any w ords i am not doing so good
shouldn't airdry be a word?
don't know much about history don't know much biology don't know much about science books don't know much about the french i took but i do know the word "tolu" and i know that if you babbled too what a wonderful world this could be
still need lo5/12
LOL hurshy
lo + double consonant + vowel, smilingface
i think so, debb
no smilingface is asked for went to the bathroom in britain
thanks les
oh whoops, i think math is lost on me today
as hurshy's grammar went straight out the window
bye grammar! *waving*
summer must be having detrimental effects on us
but i already got that
sup people
come in take a peek, at the words that we seek, though what is absurd, is that "fest" still isn't a word!
check hurshy's clue, smiling... at 1:25
oh ok
hey dachef
yo yo yo cingy sup wit u?
there is no f
there is no f
thanks hurshy
Good one, Dachef!
not much
enjoying your vaca?
my back is having terrible spasms
underwear for the dyslexic
oh dear, you are far too young for that!
hiya everyone!
antpies, mab?
hey bex
its terrible--dont know why its happening either
say what mab+
hi bex, all yous.
er, that was supposed to be a question mark
have you been lifting heavy things cingy?
Hello, bex.
Hi! any clues for at5/10, please?
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.
hi bex
not at all--i cant think of anything that might have triggered it
fictionary, lol
well be careful cingy - don't make quick movements and see a doctor if it doesn't get better in a day or two
Dachef is on a roll.
thanks for the advice hursh
LOL Dachef! just what I needed to see as I walk in the door and boot up...
hey stid! you are still androgynous
Hello angela, welcome back! how are you doing on the grid today?
the first to 5/10 please? i have the cake one
Hello every1!
Stid, hurshy immortolized you and your family in a poem a while back.
yes LeslieAnn, I think androgyny suits me... at least until Dr.God lets me have a green purse...
hi Stid and gramma
oh! today? I will go look for it. :-)
I think the androgynous color is nicer than pink, which is my least favorite color.
stid, your purse is green
she's probably getting me back for the little ditty I wrote about her and hetty this mornign...
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".
Dachef, you're the best! *big grin*
stid and dachef are our poet laureates!`
gramma it looks green on your screen, but it's purple on mine, and I am told it's gray on most!
could I purlease have a hint for the DR6/27 fellow babblers? ;-)
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!!)...
oh dear, stidmama
oh thank you vicuna
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
Ahh vicuna could never have found that without your stunning clue ty!
does any have the at 7 and 8
don't have any A words yet pabtrek!
You're welcome!
stid, that clue was awesome, have been working on that for the past 10 minutes
the first to 5/10, please? i have the cake one
I'm looking for TE 5/12 and 6/18
I was thinking about it while I was gone because poor hetty had such trouble with the word earlier...
te 5 ends in the abbr. for the state in between Illinois and Ohio
at7 is at+tr5/10
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.
the 8 is the past tense of that
im back
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.
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.
Is your back back, too, cingy?
thanks beck, vi
thanks beck, vic
thanks, LeslieAnn
I wonder whatever's become of my brain-o When I've missed -- once again -- that blsted volcano.
no its still being evil! dual personality
lol Vicuna - me too
(It's in here again today, by the way, for anyone who hasn't already typed it first thing just in case.)
what is?
that blasted volcano... cingy
oh...ok...confused
Another example: how enable's so rude-a. It always takes feta but doesn't take gouda.
oo 5/10 please anyone?
lol vicuna
no idea what ur talkin about
jeffer, it's a babblet - oo + consonant + third vowel + second vowel
leslie, you picked the same plate as i did!
Jeffer, it's the usual oo suspect that is like the ee word for spooky.
jeffer, to seep through slowly and past tense
et 4/4 - the def. is a specific type of volcano (ends in two letters if repeated can stand for grandma)
the at 5/10 - help?
cingy - if you have the money you first put in in a round of poker - spell it backwards
does anyone have the te 6?
sorry cad i don't have it yet
at 5/10 - plural of a part of the heart
cadfan, it's a roman courtyard
brb
ty Vicuna & Leslie - you'd think one would remember !
te6 - after nine + man wears a neck***
at5/10 - several covered courtyards
thanks hurshy!
6 to go!
ah!!!!!
Hi FranMag
go go beckzilla!
go Beck go!
hi annie!
great minds, fran!!
haha thanks :)
hi stid!

thank i got it
lol it's ok, emsuing, we've all done it at one point or another
emsuing -- you went pro! congrats!
i think
well, i'm not going to be on much today, finished last night, need to do laundry before my husband has to go to work in his underwear!!
anyone have do5/16
hi Fran! did you see the results of our poll yesterday? check my profile.
where does he work?
with a # neck ***
yup
i mean, it's probably not a good idea anywhere, just a matter of degrees if he would be arrested or not
my husband is a service manager for a goodyear gemini store
I hope he always goes to work in his underwear, FranMag!
awesome
is that the same one withpoker
lol LeslieAnn. de 5/12 puhleeese
do5/16 a song on the andy griffith show, homonym of a du** appointed officer
good for you! that is a very pretty sweater -- one of yours?
same clue
Unless he's really afraid of panty lines, i suppose...
de 5/12 remove atmosphere
do 5/16 - dr ***little + adverb ending
very funny vicuna!! i guess i should have said in just his underwear!
cingy - the poker one was for et4
actually, it is a purse, and yes, i knitted it and thanks!
thanks hurshy and beckzilla
ty hurshy!
havent upgraded
if you're into trucks, the do5/16 is also the doubled tires on the back of some trucks used for towing.
that's ok cingy you don't have to have upgraded to get clues
you dont
Cingy, upgrade when you want to -- we'll still be here! LOL
?
well, not from us anyway
the to 5/10 that is not the cake escapes me - help, please?
Clues here, clues there, clues for cingy everywhere!
i dont know how
cingy - you just... figure them out. and when you want to ask for them... (someone tell cingy about the list)
poor jeffer, wants a clue poor stidmama does to!
funny vicuna
jeffer, to4/4 + cross letter
to5/10 like the fortune-telling cards
er.... too....
Jefer TO5/10 think cards that tell the future and change one vowel
thanks hurshy and jakes-mom!
sorry but i have to go
bye!
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"!
ty pab and hurshy and jakes-mom
But cingy, if you go, we can't give you clues!
cingy, If you click the lickety’s babble clues link on the bottom of the page you will get a first and second letter breakdown of all the words. Very helpful.
ill be back later
CIngy - at the bottom under "friends of babble" - there's a link to Lickety's, Angelsong, Babbler's Anonymous...all have links to 'second letter lists...
by cingy
np, but if some one could help me with the last 4 of the TE words i'd be ever so grateful!!
odot is a word.. HONEST
I slap my head and exclaim, "Holy moly! Why on earth can't I have ROLY poly?"
Dachef - you are on a roll this evening (wel at least evening my time)!!
te + not dem or rep
i thought so too, vi
what you camp in
bye cingy!
haha i was like, tebipartisan? that can't be right
after nine + neck*** (adds to vowels to prev te4)
hey kids!
te7: insert a t before and after the first letter of what the sea does to the land
the clues....they are a flyin'
hey kristin
Good clue, hurshy!
hi kristin! Guess what? you are unique among babblers! :-)
am I? Meyer's Brigs or just funny lookin' unique?
hello I am back
stid, just looked at the BA thread with the personality types, pretty interesting
im back 2
which would you prefer? LOL myersbriggs. I put up a thread on BA, there is stuff about it in my profile.
i haven't left , lol
hi Angela (yes?) and cingy!
ooh i want to do the personality test, i haven't taken the M-B since psych in high school
So many clues!! ty all I will now be silent and work through them
hurshy, nice icon, nrk went for a clever interpretation too, watch for her
Wow, that was quick, cingy.
lol
told you
Yup :P Heyy kristin
I looked at it last night...are more people adding their 2 cents...there has to be another kindred ENFP out there!
helen's icon was interesting, too!
how do you get an icon stid?
oh kristin, the last time i took the test i was enfp, but i think i was like 14 at the time
i found the stuff at the bottom
you have to become a paid member Angela.
kristin - i'm always close with P/J...(but I'm ENFJ)...
I'm stuck on the te7 clue...I think I get it but then the word I enter doesn't work
ooh..:( awww well
EB -- you beat me to it!
hmm...Leslie Ann, take it again and then I won't be so lonely!
ok i will later :)
i have to go get medicine
brb...cold need blanket
I am going to redo the stats in the evenings after flip for a few days
EB...I remember being fairly close between the P/J (actually I ended up in the middle on a lot of them)...either very balanced or split personality, you decide!
bye
LeslieAnn -- there are a couple free tests listed on the BA stuff.
back
itsonme - you have to pay to be pro and as part of that you get the icon and the flet etc.
I split evenly on PJ nearly every time... never more than two points apart!
seeya
bye cingy
stid that's a beautiful plate, is it yours?
later Cingy
:(
bye
bye cingy!
no, it's a really old chinese plate I found online... It was so pretty!
goodbye to all!
hmm i haven't registered on babanon, does it take long?
what is babanon?
bye cingy
leslie you can post as a guest
kristin - issues with the server I think...
Babbler's Anonymous is also in the friends of babble links Angela
ok, i will do a few more words then go take it
okay, brb I am going to go check that out :D So many helpful sites down there, and Angels word lists...wow. That would take awhile to make :P
Argh! i'm stuck on a TE4/4, not the young adult or the camping accessory, help please its driving me mad!!
have to go do something else for a bit, bbl!
jakes-mum, cow udder
later Fran!

how do you get clues
vulcan, If you click the lickety’s babble clues link on the bottom of the page you will get a first and second letter breakdown of all the words.
Vulcan, you can ask, or many of us use one of the helpful lists .
cool... so any ) hints? (the o that is on the 4th line)
Read the log Vulcan and also go to the link for angelsongs page in friends of babble
oopsies, that first ) was supposed to be an O
if you dont want to lose, then please ask for clues, but if you want to be samrtass, then try going listless!
a samrtass dachef? :)
lol
I think a samrtass is a Bhutanese currency.
its sort of like a smartass, but with less ability to type.
Angela -- think of "slimed" if something moved slowly and left a gooey trail, it oo*** (past tense word)
dhzongka!
there is oo 5/22 and oo 4/9 Angela...
yeah fireworks, first one i have finished this week lol. bye have a good weekend peeps x
I have found that one, and the past tense, but i still need a couple of O's
where is angela??
Now you're in the spirit of it, LeslieAnn!
congrats m3!
jrh would be so proud of you LeslieAnn!
I am here
YAY M3!
itsonme, you are angela? not the same one that is on here sometimes?
itsonme, you need or4/5 and oo5/10 from that bottom o.
thanks even suprised myself i did cheat on 3 lol
okay, there is an or 4/5 that is a Latin word from the O just below
congratz
te/4 baby fed thru it
yeah
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?
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?
ESPRIT - click on the ? and it will look it up for yyou
the box links to definitions when they have one esprit...
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!
hurshy, the one that seems accurate enough to me is
www.humanmetrics.com/#Jtype sorry, dumb enter key...
clue for IN6/18 that isn't the on purpose one?
thanks stid
jakes-mom: in 6/18: something you are born with, usually an ability, is called in****
what is the other in6?
ty stidmama ;-)
the other in 6 is in +camping shelter
wow! I just got more than halfway! :-) need to do some heavy-duty housework for a bit -- will have a houseful of boys this weekend! StarWars marathon time!

jm- whats the other z that isnt the Catherine Jones one?
hmm...I guess there are a few

that Z rhymes with one to the to4's!
the other z is zo + first two letters opposite of left
to 4/4 a kiddie word for fart and to 4/4 something you use to fix things
I need 2 more 7 letters

Hi, all. Any clues for the 7s or 8, please?

DI7/36 = to duplicate a copy
te 7/32= te+ crossed letter + what someone may have done on a horse yesterday
te 7 - te + tr 5/12

(the second to5/10)
add a letter to a to 4/4? there's two like that
To 5/10 think cards for reading the future

jrh, no longer from Bhutan, I see... so what about "Dzongkha"?
I have ed 4/5, 6/21 and en 5/10, any clues what I'm missing plz
another en 5/10
ty
I think "Dzongkha!" could be the new exclamation (that's sweeping the nation). You should use it in place of "yowsers"
lol
as in, "You finished already? Dzongkha!"
okay, i'll try it out -- do you have a particular pronounciation in mind? (it's the kh I wonder about)
Everyone together, ahemm.."Da-zong-kuh!"
also, perhaps older people will think I'm taking the name of Larry Czonka in vain (LOL)
um.. who's larry czonka? :)
n/m checked wikipedia
he was a "punishing running backin American football."
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
"punishing runningback"? that's awesome, someone should use that as their user id!!
lol
he looks a little questionable in his wikipedia profile... plus he's got the brow line of of six people.
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
jrh, i used "dzongka" when you were gone
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."
Leslie: Good Work! Together we will overcome.
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.
someone mentioned inklink earlier, it is another game, if so does anyone know the website?
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
Peri: I've never played, but it's at shockwave.com
Peri: I feel responsible for breaking it to you that it seems to involve charades....
someone was rolling out tons of poems this morning, dachef i think
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!
larry csonka, that is
the SO batman phrase is punishing runningback!
I think if I used "Dzongkha" in downtown KC that everyone would think I was complimenting a black girl's backside.
*Sly nod her direction* "Dzongkha." *knuck tap* "Fo' sho' brutha."
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!!
cool.
so... peri? You really go an play charades?
actually, I probably shouldn't visit the urbandictionary at work :)
I can't get either of the en 5 words.
one ends with Spanish for aunt
one is en + consumed
help! dr 6/27?
I swear I tried both of those before and they wouldn't take. Don't you hate it when that happens.
not wet + where you park your car, dippnall

Dipnall: not wet+not few :)
can anyone help me with my r's? i have 3 ri's, 7 ro's and an ry.
mich: good call! my babble habit is probably bad enough
'course, i'm only working here for another week.
lol you have 1 more than me Leslie
well, dzongkha, jrh! what's next for you?
law school! I'm leaving the state bureacracy to pursue my dream of corporate earnings
dzongkha, that sounds tough
by the mustache of Larry Csonka, i'm looking forward to billable hours.
I thought about lawschool (see my profile) where are you going?
University of Missouri-Kansas City
so no relocation I'm guessing? makes it much easier :)
actually, I'm moving closer to campus - but generally yes
UMKC is where President Truman went
okay, I chat too much
I should get some words...
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
$19/hr I meant
ok i was like, oh pooor mich ;)
all done no fireworks though : (
yeah sha!!
YAY sha!!!!! WOOT!

dino - its past tense of copy
me too. bye folks (dino - to copy di5 - past tense)
it was great to see everyone : )
ahhh! see it! Thanks!
hey, all you smart people? Anybody want to clue de6?
I think you have to be old as dirt to remember the dit machines. They smelled good!
The clue I would have give for di7 is one from the movie Ghost or something
harp - cops do this to suspects
don't remember that in the movie
Sam said it to Demi's character instead of "I love you"
18 left
aah
any clues for the or's. i can't even get the 4/4 one. thanks in advance
the or6 is an or* minister
anagram of od4/5
need 2 more o's myself
hi harpjane, dino, magzel and mymuse! harpjane, i remember di5/12 machines and i thought they smelled good too!
lol me too
heya fran!

i like your icon today, very colorful
ah...the mimeograph. loved how cold and smelly the pages were...
got them. thanks how about lo 6/21?
never mind i got it
finally got the di6, I guess I don't watch enough tv...
hey featherbee! didn't see you
evening all. Does anyone have a contact for the meet in London?
hi bash
hi katieW
my trial period has expired, how do I upgrade to this babble pro to get icons, stats, etc...
katie, i think there is info on babbler's profile page
Hi FranMag, fantastic logo
i just started a few minutes ago, hadn't seen anyone i knew yet
thanks, found it in an image search, leslieann had the same one!
i finished last night featherbee, let me know if you need a clue
k, thanks
I've just changed by icon to fuggles as Faerie isn't on - I know she's phobic :)
ronnielee, there should be a link somewhere that says upgrade to pro, try logging out, it think it's in the log in page
katie, that's a change from all the cats and dogs that are usually up!
thanks FranMag
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?
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.
no snowy - you can do it!
hi snowy, haz!
clue for at 6/18 and do 5/14 please
FranMag - you're still here?
here is link to babbler's profile http://www.playbabble.com/view_profile /6719
lol haz, i went to sleep at 2:00 am my time, just got back on after doing some chores this morning.
Oh I am glad -haven't finished a grid for a day or two
magzel, to take heed, at + canvas dwelling
And so you're all refreshed and ready to be let loose again!
do5/14 is what the proud father did over his new baby,past tense of the do4/5
yes haz!
Hi Haz -I'm full of fillet steak at the moment - my digestive system will be working hard for a while yet!
Sounds like you've dined well anyway! The grid is full of twists and turns but you should get there in the end.
hi debbinla! didn't mean to overlook you earlier!
thanks for all the help
yum, snowyowl, you've reminded me to take something out for dinner
I need a z-- have the one that rhymes w/ 2nd leter of greek alphabet...
It was a good meal - a very delayed Christmas Dinner
HI there franmag!
The other one is zo4/9 - sounds like an apologetic word.
libarebel, it's a japanese sandal
Libarebel, the other z is 4/9 sounds like an apology
nice 'plate' libarebel!!
t, Fran, u2! :D
wow! ty seejay, haz & fran :)
Can somebody please clue oo 5/10?
seejay, to seep through slowly and past tense
seejay, it's like the ee word that means scary, but change the first two letters
hi annie!
Thanks, FranMag!
hi FranMag
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
FranMag, i've emailed about the convention thanks for the link :)
hi all, can someone give me the total word count for the day?
sure katie!
Fran, learned that word just now
i see libarebel has the right idea!
131 words uncagain
we used to call flipflops thongs! :D
thank you
thongs, it is
gmta, evanonut! :-)
gmta?
great minds think alike :)
great minds think alike nut
aha! almost!
good morning to all?
can I get some help with the two da 6's?
cadfan, first one is past tense of the da4/9
well, thanks Fran, that was easy!
second one is the da4/9 + what an ascot is, man's business attire
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?
od4/7
boston, you need the oo5/10, spelled like the ee scary word, but with oo
oo5/12
THanks Haz.. I swear, some of these words would not even fit in the "Dictionary of Difficult Words" I had some years ago!!
Also oo5/12
And an or4/5 following the or6/21
oo 5/12 to seep slowly
I know the feeling - you imagine you would have seen most words by now, but no.
ask my sister.. I've seen LOTS of words.....
LOL
haz -- hint on the or 4/5 ?
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
annie - isn[t that the oo 5/22?
or4/5 - follow the or with an action word. It ends up as an anagram for do4/5
That's interesting FranMag as people here would use the term 'trews' for trousers. Maybe that's the derivation.
sorry, have my list all messed up, no wonder no one was taking my clue lol
ahh, thanks!
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
can't imagine why
i guess that is the alt spelling it's from haz, we don't use that term in america!
lol cadfan!!
HA, you think, I'm kidding....it's been that kind of day........
Cadfan, that sounds good to me
can anyone help wit the te 6/18 or te 7/32.... i'm thinking they're related
eight to go... can anyone take pity on my listless self?
I can help, they aren't (realted that is)
te + tr 5/12, debb
what do you need my twin for the day?
thanks cadfan -- that wasnt one of my phantom words til you mentioned it!
that's the 7
going to play with fuggles bbl (only 61 left!!!)
I mean related....
thank you so very much leslie !
go katie!!
what are fuggles?
see you soon Katie! hi all!
fuggles is the Babbling Hamster!
fuggles is her guinea pig n the picture
Hi Stid, back for more madness, I see
hey stid!
:) t's and d's - for d's i have: 6 da's, 4 de's, 7 di's, 5 do's, 3 dr's, 1 du (missing 3)
OH!
you need two more do's
debb, the te 6 is what you camp in + two vowels
There are 7 do words
there are 7 do's
and you need one du
There are 2 du words - differing only in one vowel from each other
go LeslieAnn go!
excellent, thanks i will work on those
nike ad, just d***, alt spelling
ok for do's i have: do 5/12, do 5/16, do 4/5, do 4/5, do 5/14, do 4/10
do4/6 before the do5/12
Don't forget the extinct bird
good guess haz! now just t's
do 4/6
There are tons of t words.....
i know, i'll try to monkey a bit before asking for help :)
3 TAs, 6 TEs, 4 TIs, 14 TOs, 8 TRs, 2 TWs leslie
I love being smart! I actually *saw* the ta 6/39 by myself! *grin*
yay stid!!
and only 50 to go...
nice job, stid
It's my favourite word of the day
yay, stid, I have 55
wtg, Stid
not an acceptable term, yoda is? unfortunate, how very!
go stid! go libarebel!
I just finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
WOOOO HOOOOO
yay bostonmermaid!!!
my fave too, haz
go libarbel go! If I weren't actually trying to get housework done today I'd offer to race...
yay boston!!
a clue please for te 5/12 and ro 5/10
congrats, boston
Well done bostonmermaid!
YAY bostonmermaid! *dancing happy dance*
thank you everyone! see yall tomorrow...
hooray, bostonmer!
tod
do5/16?
i have to say my favorite today is the tr5/20
ro5/10 - takes one letter away from the corrupt or decaying ro6/18
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
later boston!
do5/16, rhymes with a procedural word, du** appointed, but use double vowels
aint that the tr***, fran, my favorite too
harp, also sounds like trucks with double back tires
great clue franmag
thnaks all
thanks debb!
done!! and listless!
te5/12 - has the same ending as any one of Joey, Phoebe, Rachel, Ross etc
good job leslieann!
great, leslieann
thats amazing! leslie - congrats!
congrats leslieann
YAY LeslieAnn! woohoo!
thanks!
*victory dance*
LeslieAnn -- did you say what your myersbriggs is while I was out?
u guys know of any word in english with triple letters?
*majestic but energetic music for victory dance*
brrr
Myers Brigss.. ugh.. I htink if I recall coreclty - Im an ENFP
hi Unc. I don't, but that doesn't mean much!
why ugh CadFan?
I'm a ESTJ
can i have a clue on at 6/18 please it just eludes me,thanks
and would you like to be included in our unofficial poll?
i tried it but i was distracted and i don't think it was right, stid. i'll go do it again
yes katie, thanks! I just saw your post on BA which is what reminded me to ask...
yvo, to take heed, at + canvas dwelling
hi y'all
only if you really want to, LA! this is just a "for fun" and no pressure is intended.
I've posted a message on the board to say what it is, I hope :)
because I think those things are terrible contrived. They box people in...
Yvo, I am so glad you asked about that AT... I had never thought of it before!
any hints on the 8? or the 7 im missing? (i have di7 and te7)
at 7/8 combo, eva
8 is past tense of the at7/28, at + overused
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
thank you Fran Mag got it
Stid! didn't see you...
yw yvo
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.
hrmmm....not sure i have the "overused" word
tr 5 - not important, eva
katie, i think those assessments just help one realize what things make people different
hi Daisy! well, I was actually just about to get up. but don't mind seting for just a moment.
hi eva =)
ahh, thanks!
hola parsec!
howya doin?
wow, how slow am i... i only *just* noticed that leslieann and franmag have the same icon...hehe
eh, stressed, unfortunately, but otherwise good
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 !!)
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
i kept thinking earlier, am i talking too much? when fran and i were having a convo
how are you parsec?
that's what it looks like to everyone leslie!
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.
LOL Leslie, I thought you were having a convesation with yourself :)
Not that I don't think it has value.. just that I think, sometimes, people give it TOO much value.
stressed too, but all right. This is the first weekend I get to stay mostly home in a while. =)
CadFan - I am a Gemini and really really fit the profile for them. don't believe in horoscopes but the profile was unnearving.
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?
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...
katie, did you just have or are going to have a birthday katie?
Hetty - I haven't seen you for ages, how are you :)
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*
katie -- I am gemini also, but what fits me is the FireHorse of the Chinese astrological system... spooky.
it was last Saturday FranMag, really nice day.
*bounces in quickly* please please could I have a clue for the de5 and 6 after the fatal ones?
I'm well, thanks katie, but very busy just now so I'm bouncing in and out a lot
hey stid, i'm a fire horse too! that's right we're the same age
oh no evan, a set up!
de 5 - to deflate
what if he's a hottie?
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!
atalante, wierd ones, de5/12 is deflate
ata - I haven't got them yet, sorry
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"
de6/21 is not wierd, what the police do when they need to question you
Sorry hetty - I was away for a while there - you were looking for a word?
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
at least they are weird ones - I always feel so dumb when my last words are really obvious!
FranMag/Leslie - good clue but that is never a word.
someone clued earlier that de 6 are like the people at guantanamo bay - de****ees
too bad evan, as you probably are desireabe, seeing how it's unlikely you're a cousin of his!
Atalante, I don't have them either... (hi)
katie, true, but enable thinks it is so we have to use it!!
TY Fran and Leslie! Finished! Phew! now I can go to bed ... *bounces off again hugging all*
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!
Lol evanonut
night atalante!!
Congrats Atalante, night
lol...is that all it takes to be desireable? not being related?? hehe
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
yay atalante!!
in that part of the country i understand! ;-)
oo 5/12 anyone??
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...
YAY Atalante!
Daisy -- I assume you are "back"?
lol...sure youre not thinking of West VA?
yes:)
evanadine, funny you should bring that up, a guy i dated a while back just married his first cousin!!
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!)
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.
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!)
debb, it's like an ee scary word, but use the oo
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...
later evanonut!
later stid!
ok:)
katie -- you aren't that desperate, I hope!
later all!
oo5/12 is a strange word--you add the ending of cross letter, third vowel and fourth letter to your ooooo
Bye stidmama.
not even really looking mch to date right now anywho, so im not too worried about it
sorry debb, i gave you the wrong clue!!
no worries - thank you franmag and thanks hetty! i only have 2 more - yipee
that's the attitude evanadine! you're still young anyway, i didn't meet my husband until i was 35.
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 :)
how much is 800 pounds in dollars?
i hope that's not a stupid question
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
it's like 1600 bucks
It's not a stupid question I think it is about $1500 and then you had to pay $60 per month as well!!
i don't think the tv clue is right. it ends like the beginning of the state in between illinois and ohio
Okay - let's try another route for the te5/12 - add the first three letters of the country where the Taj Mahal is built.
holy crud, that is a lot of pounds or dollars or whatever
whoa! that is a lot to pay for a date! unless the guy is professional (if you know what i mean, wink, wink)
lol
For that amount of money he would need to be very very professional :)
te6/18 - to the number after nine, add a man's item of neckwear
and come with a money-back guarantee
Lol LeslieAnn
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!
Another unfinished grid! I'm just too tired to continue, so I'll wish you all agood night & sweet dreams when you sleep
seems like a nice place to move to!
night snowyowl!!
Night snowyowl
Never mind snowyowl! Sleep well.
good night
yes debb, i'd always wanted to live here anyway, it was an easy choice to make, because of my husband also of course. ;-)
that was really bad sentence structure. apologies to all the editors and writers out there!
it read perfectly to me
ty haz for the te 6/18... had me stumped
You're welcome, calmunid.
Haz, I tried your advice, and your clues work like a charm.
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.
brb, need to do another load of laundry before baby wakes up
hi everyone!
Wow, helen, that's a unique plate! :D
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!
Lo5/10 is a misspelling of the biblical guy who's wife turned into salt, but I don't know the lo5/12 yet
shannon - the lo 5/10 is what i'd like to win -- the lo*** (minus the alst two letters
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 :)
Got them! Thanks.
Good!
Can somebody please clue the at7/28 and ai6/21?
I've got an ai 6/21 that is the past tense of a 4/4
I've got 12 more words. The AT 5/10 and the AI 6/28 are a mystery.
the at 5 is a heart chamber - I had to google it :)
haven't got the ai6/28 yet
really am going now.
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:)
Glad to help! Now, can someone clue me in to the zo 4/9? I've monkeyed everything I can think of...
i have 2 more and think i might go bonkers - can anyone help with the do 5/12 -
sounds like sorry someone said before
or a girls name with a z instead of a L
for the zo 4/9, go diaganally upwards
good clue mymuseisme:)
there's 2 debb, one some dogs do
aha! thanks, got it :)
do 5/12 - machine copy
Debbinla, do5/12 is same as above
oops sorry that was di
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!
Sorry, I made the same mistake
i'm sure everyone tried it JBs!
lol JBs, I agree, it seems to have everything else
isn't that the di?
hehe -
that was funny! does anyone have the do 5,12?
only have do 5/14
debbinla, think hues of the rainbow then change first letter
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!
thanks franmag - it was driving me insane!
see you tomorrow JBs!
can't have that debb! yw
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"!
i had a lot of words like that JBs!
hmm, Zoloft is *almost* in there! Have fun!!!! I hope to pop in later!
yay! fireworks - thanks for sooo much help!
yay debb!!!
by jb
hey evry1
I'm still trying to think of hues of rainbow, brain must be off
Well done, Debbinla!
mymuse, blue is a c****
me too muse
hi brat
oh lol ok got it
haha thanks i needed that
debbinta, you beat me to it by a second. Cogratulations. And thanks to all our helpers.
HI all, clues for the at6/18 anyone
yay hetty!!
peri, to take heed, at + canvas dwelling
CONGRATS HETTY! *******
thanks Fran, lol took this long
periwinkle, pay at and what you camp in.
FranMag, thanks
yw peri!
Yay, Hetty!
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
does the at8 build on the at7
can ya give a hint plz for the bottom 3, have en 5/10-2
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
yes peri, it does
No it builds on the at7/28
bottom e I mean
I mean yes! I'm cross-eyed at the moment.
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.
omg staring right at me ty
Just make your at 7 past tense
thamks, FranMag, periwinkle is my favorite color, a true periwinkle is a purplyblue, very pretty
teeze
got the at8, thanks FranMag
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
you don't have to follow themes though, it's just fun for a lot of us to do.
yw peri
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.
missing 2nd da4/5, hope is it is not an obvious one
i'm baaaack! ready to tackle more of the grid
change the last letter on your other da 4/5, peri
nm, found the da4/5
hey feather!
got 52 done earlier sans list
second da5 is not easy--a word I'd never heard. Take your first da4/;5 and chanhe the last letter to another vowel
do you have the list now feather?
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
will soon, checking the recent chat for clues
hi, all ((peri))
HI there Angelsong!!!
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!
hi angelsong! btw, love your babble page, i use the links there all the time, it's really improved my grid solving ability!
hey angel
wow, that's impressive fran! i'm kind of stalled at the moment, and don't like to get the list before halfway
brb, have to feed my son

lovely rhodie! I really enjoy the pink ones.
lovely, maribel :)
Sheesh! I look away from the log for half a second, and five dozen messages fly by. Yes, stid, it's new. Not very exciting, but it is undeniably a plate.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

hi anders! how was the symphony last night?
od 4/7 goes over to the right side of the grid
go feather go!
if we race tonight, I have a chance! LOL
it was a disaster. my date asked when the singers would appear!
er, that could be confusing. it uses the "up" d, then goes to the right side of the grid
hehe stid!
thanks all, got it
so... the symphony was a disaster, or just the date?
oh dear! was the music okay though?
or4/5 please
oh the music was wonderful .... and i'm sure there's a nice gentleman for my date out there in the world somewhere...it's not going to be me.
What concert was this, anders?

add a consonant to the to 5/10 just before it
ahhh...english?
darn, you're too quick nrkii
add a consonant to the preceding 5/10
les deux ( think that means both!)
I think I should have said mes fils?
i can sort of folow what you're saying in french, but am too rusty to try to say anything back! i can read better than i can write
which one?
itsonme... will use English for sure when cluing you -- my French is too sporadic to use for much!
okay, before I tr** out the little french I know, which is only the impolite stuff, I'm going to take a break... be back in a few!
zoot allors!
later nrkii!
il n'ya parle d'un petit poi...
night nrkii!
i kinda followed too - but have no formal french training, just what i've picked up over the years

toi avior un chien en vour pantelones
angela, add a consonant to the one that's a baked good
lol, tor!! :D
i have a dog in my underwear? that can't be what you said angela!
what I tried to say was that my mother and my kids and I are going to Victoria in July and does Hetty want to meet up with us...
you're going to put a cat in someone's pants?
right, dgo!
Heya stid! I have been offline for a while ..

hmm, mange la merde! (no offense)-- limited vocab...
you have a dog in your pants
lol, i was close...wrong pronoun
Ici ne parle Le Francais bien ..

LOL okay, that's what I understood its!

jai deux chien, chien petite et chien grande.
jai un chien, et quatre chats
constantent -- the end of the word is the number X (roman numeral equiv)
il est un (zoo) ici...

I need 22 words STILL!
chat en tou???-- cat in pants?:-|
in 5/14? - there aren't that many possibles, & i think i've tried them all!
oiu, cette une bonne idee!
it would probably mess up the log or loading problems mich

lol, oh wait...i read animated. nvm...
okay, enough distraction -- this french is hurting my brain...
in 5/14: in +your bill is d**

gotta go total up my weight watcher points, brb
ya ruska varivu tolka pangliski!
zdrasvice tovarish

I have a hard time reading russian in non-cyrillic -- in cyrillic I read like a third grader -- zdravoistye is hello, tavarishch is comrade
yep stid - you know some russian!
I am missing some D's...I have 4/5 5/14 4/9 6/36 4/6 6/30 5/12 4/5 4/5 4/5 4/5 5/12 7/36 5/16 4/5 4/5 5/14 4/10 5/14 5/12 6/27

Dos vdonya!
Stid, I was just away rom the chatbox (dishes) and find I missed amost important message from you. OF COURSE I WANT to see you all in July--just hope it isn't July 3 to 7 when I'll be in Ashland with my book club. When do you plan to come?

going to bed, night
took russian in hs--was phonetic...
its, you're also missing ada 6/36 and a da 6/33
byby feather thanks for the clues!
good night, feather! sleep tight
yes, that's about the extent of my number knowledge too torgone. And I should mention that no word works as well at stopping children (and others) in their tracks as NYET!
hi shirin!
good night feather, thanks for all your help and fun. See you tomorrow at some point.
Shyest Syem Vosyem
hint on da 6/33
yep! i'm sure i will
hows everyone doing on the grid. Not as bad as yesterday's
I guess I'd better get busy with dinner, with 24 left.
its you also need another di 4/5
some strange words, tho' shirin
ivan--studyent; anna studyenta..
hi shirin, 38 to go
and the do 4/6 (a repetitive word)
i'm doing lousy shirin, can't see past 79 words...
its do you have the da 4/9? others build on it
well, at least you
I have the strangest sense of deja vu now when working on these grids--they all seem the same to me
and the do 5/12 which is Spanish for pain...
welll at least you've beat the half way point, firegly
hi shirin!
Naz darovia!
I didnt know there were as many oo words

Hi stid, how are you?
da4/9?
I have 22 left
firegly...? lol shirin
i need clue on da 6/33 and da 6/36, I think i have the 6/36 though
I found, in doing some genealogy that I can read a bit of Polish after a while. It's bizarre. But I could not generate anything for sure.
I took it in college, I thought I was going to save the world somehow, international law or foreign service :)
doing well shirin, finished a little while ago.
sorry firefly, typo
da4/9 uses a rarely used letter--top right hand almost corner
almost double majored, but didn't want to write a thesis in Russian as well as a History one!!!
good for you stid!
hen complete the crosssover and you have it
i know shirin, i just found it humorous :)

volcano et4/4 manicmama
yay shirin!!
at this point a strong margarita will do kristen
coming right up shirin!
or a mojito. I love those!
i'm going to take a relaxy bath before the flip, can i give another clue before i go, or do you guys have it covered?
ooh, mojitos are my favorite drink
kristinc,I want you to know I've just read your bio with great empathy and appreciation. Maybe you too will come up to Canada--with the baby--and see us sometime. (Don't mean to sound like Mae West)
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 :)
mine too. I tried to make one today, but didnt do very well. I even planted mint in my garden so I can drink them whenever I want
thank you kristin, that will do
hetty...my husband went to college in Canada...he actually would love to move back :)
shirin, yes I failed miserably when I tried to make them -- just have to find all the bars and restaurants that will make them for me...
julep? lol
to 6/18?
same here, but not all restaurants here serve them
helen...if you do end up taking off, enjoy your bath!
kristin add an e to the to before it
Im sorry an n
hello hello! back to clue...
Mojito = simple syrup + lime juice + soda + fresh mint + white rum (I believe I got that right)
welcome back stidmama
at last -- phone calls, dinner, etc. Kristin, where in Canada did your husband go to university?
stid, I used you in a clue again, hope you don't mind
hiya stid :)
YAY shirin!
mine tasted like limeade:(
oh nrkii, whatever works, you know... *grin*
thanks stidmama
hi kristin! how are you doing today?
jill...alberta, very small little college (I personally have never been to anywhere in Canada but Vancouver and Victoria but he's been all over)
shirin...add an e to the to 5/10 just before?!?
Im going to put my son to bed. Hopefully I will return, but I may just fall asleep too. So good nite everyone and see ya manana
hi stid, doing okay...kinda crazy at my house right now
sorry kristin, add an n to the e
kristin, to the cake TO 5/10
kristin -- you're so close -- come onna my house (cou ntry)!
goodnight shirin!
hey ya stid!
later shirin!
goodnight shirin!
jill :)
hi renfield! how's it going down your way? hot?
Stid, did anyone else submit their Meyers Briggs today? Am I still the only ENTJ?
later shirin... yes stid - it is HOT HOT HOT!!!
okay...got the to, thanks!
I've got the lot -- any last-minute needs?
tr 5/12 (not attempted)?
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
Good Evening everybody! Just signed on. Don't think I have time to complete tonight's puzzle! Oh Well....
almost the same kristin, change the second vowel...
ah, thanks stid!
hi Minveryork -- yes, don't start. This is harder than it looks (not the lack of an S).
Saturday theme, for anyone who wants to change before the flip, is : "how you feel when you've completed a babble grid"
How come it does not accept the word doodle? Isn't that a word? You know like to draw nonsense things.
oh right! I know the picture I want... have to go find it... brb
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
kristin -- tr 5?12 - a threesome
the E is in the wrong place M.....
oh! fun theme...might finally need to update mine
minver, I don't think you can make the word doodle here
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
doodle doesn't work in the grid. wish it did -- a fond nickname for my grown son which makes him groan
and done! not nearly as close as I thought I would cut it...thanks for the help EVERYONE!
Oh, yeah you're right nrkii.It's not in the puzzle. I'm already off to a great start!Any clues on the ry word
YAY kristin!
hetty and jill...you're both quite convincing...Canada is really a wonderful place
okay, I updated my icon... how I feel when I finish a grid!
YAY KRISTIN!!!!!!!!!!
Yay kristin!
don't people say hey "dood"?
can I return the clueing favor to anyone?
Minveryork -- you're a ri**! LOL (change the i to a sound-alike letter)
well, some people... :-[]
minver...another word for ri** (an uprising)
nice choice stid!
I guess that's dude
morning all
yay kristin!! with 10 minutes to spare!
I like yours, nrkii! although that looks more like me when I come within a word or two and typing at the flip....
hiya oggy
hi oggy! Today's the big day, right?
stid -- lovely icon but what was the previous one about?
morning oggy
lol, jillibus :)
hi oggy!
the previous one was _printing_ plates....
Thanks sitmama & kristinc,I got it. I guess Iam a ri** for starting this grid so late! I'll get my lowest score ever tonight! Oh well, my scores are always very low
ah, plates, I see
I know Fran...I don't know what to do, I thought I'd be down the wire
yes ,,its a nice sunny day as well
hi oggy!
minver, want some random at the wire clues?
it's dark here and now <giggle>
i don't know kristin, that may have been too stimulating for the baby!!
I changed my icon to express how I feel when completing the grid, and to my amazement it came up at once! No surprises at the flip I'm afraid
sure, why not???!!!
oh, so glad it's a nice day for the wedding. Did you find good shoes for your ensemble?
happy happy hetty!
ai 6 = what jane fonda's husband would call his only personal jet company
no kidding fran! I was franticallly typing for a bit...really getting the heart rate up :)
i've never been up for a flip before, honestly I'm so excited!!
at 6 = at + shelter at a campsite
hi katie!!
yes, what ive got will have to do.
at 7 = at + tr5 meaning silly
do the trousers nrk!!
at 8 is past tense of at 7
nrkii - ai 6 -- really! groan!
hi Katie...yeah for the flip!
the trousers?
yes, it will do, and it will do nicely, I am sure. I hope you'll have a beautiful time and enjoy yourselves.
tr5/20
I got the campsite shelter one. Thanks! Keep all the clues coming though!
morning FranMag......and I do mean very early morning here.
ooh, hard one...
trt5/20, nrkii
ai6/21 what we breathe + sen. kennedy's nickname
hi katieW! how's Fuggles?
tr 5/20 is like, um....
oggy? a wedding?
it's early evening for me.
tr + muck and slime, minus the last vowel
tr 20 is a phonetic spelling of the scots word for "trousers"
He's asleep, he only opened his eyes to look at me as if I'm mad turned over and went to sleep again. I'm really not sure he is as nocturnal as he should be :-)
that's funny katie!
to 4/4 is blow the horn and to 6/21 is past tense of same
*giggle* we've corrupted you both and turned you topsy-turvy in your sleep cycles! well done, fellow babblers!
hi all!
te 4/4 is shelter at campsite, and te 6/18 is same with a cute ending (two vowels)
yer darn to****!
hi kierlex!
thanks stid, just got to get babble done before i go
ta 6/39 is cheap, like a prostitute in a saloon
oops. i bet i need a new icon. what's the theme tnite or is it still plates or?
hi kierlex -- waiting for the flip?
hi kierlex, i was looking for your cat!
I really want the new grid to be tiny. I am going to a museum with my mother tomorrow....
hola kierlex!
so oggy, when is the wedding?
ro 6/18 is spoiled, like fruit, and ro 5/10 is same without last letter
I agree, stid
stid...what museum?
kierlex, it's what you feel like after completing a grid
good evening, all
I'm going to my brothers today so could do with a small one today - means it will be massive!!
ro 4/4 is what keeps a tree in the ground, and ro 6/21 is past tense of same
Tacoma History Museum, they have a civil war exhibit I haven't seen yet.
i wouldn't know since i've never completed a grid!!!!!
would that be joygasmic??
nrkii...you faithful clue giver you, the rest of us are not much help at all are we? (speaking for myself primarily)
the weddings at 1 but have to travel for an hour first
ed 4/5 is to fix the typos in a document, and ed 6/21 is the person who does this
oh, that's a long ways. so you'll have to babble fast! LOL
i wonder what kind of icon you could find for that kirlex!!
and that is the best i can do before the flip
hmm...stid, sounds good. Didn't know there was such a museum in Tacoma, we really must head south more often
the an 4/4 are easy babblets, the poker oneand the against one
yay nrk!!! good job!
might look like yours, franmag =)
We all want a little one, I guess - I have bridge all afternoon at my place, then out for dinner, so very little time for the obsession...
I don't know that minveryork could have gotten much more than that anyhow :)
flip
yes, it's actually the Washington State History Museum...
flip?
