12:39 am

YOU PLAYED BEHIND THE MOODY BLUES??? I am really impressed, I have seen them 13 times

12:41 am

Hi all--thanks for the qu9 clue

12:42 am

yup, she is taking good care of me, which is funny because i am usually taking care of her - she had a stroke 2 years ago.... hasn't slowed her much, but enough

It was fun - the band has a lot of fans, i loved the flashlight choreography in the audience. But the highlight of my modest career was playing the Verdi Requiem under Rober Shaw at Severance Hall about 20 years ago.

12:42 am

*sending healing energy to both of you* {{Joey and Mom}}

1:01 am

hi Mel... acetone is not a phantom as you have to use the E twice

huh, bambam?

there's rules for phantoms? who knew?

1:05 am

1:05 am

shall i aim for mediocrity - 31 words away?

Away from finishing, you mean? Or away from the halfway point which all that I can aspire to?

no, mediocrity is halfway thru - i seldom do better than that.

Really? I had you pegged as a fireworks kinda person

Sam, where's you get the icon - it look's like my mom's doggy.

i'm too lazy - also too much time required.

I picked it up on livejournal.com; I keep a fairly dull blog there

Something about the flying ears just speaks volumes, y'know?

minot

South Dakota?

He looks like a snuggler...when he is in the mood lol

4:20 am

4:20 am

Hi Jamos

4:21 am

4:21 am

4:29 am

hmm, ok thanks, I'll try again :)

4:30 am

Hi MrP! - Cat, don't forget the "pg" on the end, I had that problem too. Ata, yours looks like he has some deutsche Hauskatze in him - was off looking for the English name and didn't find it, then remembered you know enough German to conjugate verbs!

4:30 am

oh beautiful beautiful Cat!!!!

4:31 am

just about enough, amanda - did German for about 8 years at school!

5:18 am

hello

5:20 am

your all silent tonight

5:21 am

hi shadowwolf

5:21 am

we're all busy with th grid :)

5:21 am

hello amanda

5:22 am

my brain is a little bit stuned with amount of words. Not used to this big. This is a second time for me

5:24 am

I'm not getting far on the 8's. Have 2 t's - what else is there?

5:25 am

um do u have a type of current (tidal not fruit)

5:26 am

there's a AT

5:26 am

at8 - american lawyer tr8 - break yr leg and they may put it in tr8

5:27 am

ta mitch

5:27 am

there is also a re8 but I can

5:27 am

't think of a clue right now

5:28 am

had the broken leg one, and another t - mineral with a male singing voice? Lawyer ok, looking for the tidal current....

5:29 am

opps that was a really crap clue sorry. um let me try again

5:29 am

there's also an SE8 - similar to the happy chemicals in the brain

5:30 am

Argh, I didn't even have the male singer. That's It, have have to concentrate on the words and not the log.

5:31 am

i get a t..... in my eye if i see something happy.

5:34 am

yay, happy chemicals! Think I'm just missing the re8 now - a hunting we will go...

5:35 am

nope that clue has eluded me

5:35 am

hmmmm I'm looking for that one too!

5:36 am

i still find it funny im missing the obvious ones

5:37 am

Have you got the re5/10 meaning bygone years if so add a 3 letter word that means in good shape.

5:37 am

ta

5:38 am

ok this is hard i am trying do do 3 things at once. Read messages, do, babble and watch with out a trace

5:38 am

that's a word? wow

5:38 am

LOL aparently so Ata :)

5:39 am

yay Mitch! Got it - had tried several endings with that: -nie=condition of living in the past, -fil=drug to make you happy about the past ... they didn't work, needless to say

5:40 am

ok, 197 words, time to look at the first-letter stats...

5:41 am

I just took a peek amanda and according to BJ not only is the qu used 13 times to start a word it is also used 15 times as part of other words :((

5:41 am

um mitch is that meaning bygone start with re

5:42 am

Yes re8 Shadow

5:42 am

hmmmmm

5:42 am

wait a minute - does that mean it's used twice more than at the beginning, or 15x more than at the beginning?

5:42 am

i have what both my parents are doing now

5:43 am

oh fudge now im screwed i hate qu words ta for the heads up

5:43 am

Well he has the 15 listed under his 2nd letter list so I am presuming there are wods that use it somewhere in them apart from at the beginning, so far I have only found 1 of those.

5:44 am

i hate qu u words and im still having trouble with the bygone re word

5:44 am

I've got two words that have qu in the middle - let's hope that's it!

5:45 am

I have the f5/16 that uses it what do you have amanda?

5:45 am

that and something that has to do with loans and homes and money and such (or being the same)

5:46 am

i would like to be 5 yrs old right now and through a fit

5:46 am

what does the f one mean? I just monkeyed it in the hopes that it would take

5:47 am

Thanks. fi works. Know what it means?

5:47 am

dictionary.com

5:48 am

5:48 am

my parents are poms, u like aus

7:30 am

10km frm Melbourne

7:31 am

lynxx, north south east west?

7:31 am

I love aus! if I had the money I would move there, I especially like your 24 hr shopping and the fact you can lay away for xmas! why can't we do that !!

7:32 am

To all you Aussies out there, can I just say that the referee was a total bastard, I mean, to give a penalty in the last minute of injury time for falling over a defender, it's scandalous!!!!!!

7:32 am

we were robbed!!!!

7:32 am

I' getting scared now!? south east

7:33 am

My husband yelled: "Well, he can't hide under the grass, now can he? He has to stay SOMEWHERE!!" That referee was nuts.

7:33 am

i agree, movieman, that was a horrible horrible call

7:33 am

one more c word!

7:34 am

sorry watching show friend rights for, i think im in your neck of the words lyn at boys house at the mo, i love southland.

7:35 am

morning all- morning abe

7:35 am

Ill be back my grid won't come back up... so much for multiy tasking

7:35 am

fun board today

7:36 am

I thought only the british soccer players did the best soccor acting, aww awww aww i broke a nail its his fault, I love the fact that itallia got ahead despite being robbed

7:36 am

Ok.. Question..Does the QU count as 1 letter or 2?

7:36 am

As 2 in the letter count, Lara.

7:36 am

jakesmum, you dont have layaway where yuou live?

7:36 am

except that italy faked getting fouled in the last 5 seconds of the game against australia!

7:36 am

that was so cheesy!

7:37 am

What about the point count?

7:37 am

hey bluephlox!

7:37 am

no! our stores wont rent the square fottage to do it!

7:37 am

hey sprite your hubby made a good call about hidding in the grass, yep see it now, mole soccor

7:37 am

morning abe

7:37 am

i couldn't live without layaway

7:38 am

hmm... I thought they had that everywhere. Well, why dont you move?

7:38 am

good morining, babblers and soccer fans

7:38 am

too bad ghana is out. it would have been nice for them to go even farther

7:38 am

Same. 'Quart' uses 4 tiles, but counts as 5 letters long and is multiplied like a 5 letter word.

7:38 am

Lol Shadow!

7:38 am

good mrning annie!

7:38 am

blue the refs in the soccor have been rather dodgy. I am glad harry k went batty

7:39 am

yeah, i agree- the us got shafted in the game that they played 10 players to 9- there are so many red and yellow cards

7:39 am

I don't think anywhere in england has lay away, which is total pants

7:39 am

Especially the ref in the Netherlands v Portugal match, I mean 16 bookings and 4 sendings-off......

7:39 am

i wonder if white canes and guide dogs are going to be standard at the final, oh and with aus v ittalia it more than likely would have been stupid penalty shotout

7:39 am

we have layaway--must be a regional thing

7:40 am

well, come to the USA with me.

7:40 am

i heard there are record numbers of yellow and red cards for the tournament

7:40 am

morning, annie!

7:40 am

we call it lay-by

7:40 am

they are on a power trip- they did warn the players not to mouth off this year and that they weren't going to take any crap- but this is just silly power hunger

7:40 am

exactly jakesmum what i say " total pants" i use it in the text of 'pantsd dance'

7:40 am

thats funny, I would have never thought to call it lay by.

7:41 am

teeveezed u an aussie, cause i call it layby

7:41 am

yep, we put stuff on lay-by...

7:41 am

At least both the dutch and the portugese players were as bad as the other... the ref was nuts, but so were they.

7:41 am

yep, aussie thru and thru...

7:41 am

shadow, you must have been angry when that italian player took a dive the other day with 5 seconds to go

Hello again - now actually starting the grid...

7:42 am

Um is it me or does lay-by seem kinda naughty, where u at teev

7:42 am

For some stupid reason I want 'eccentric' to be here.

7:42 am

shadow...i'm at perth...

7:44 am

i desperately want the word "criteria." that's my phantom today.

7:44 am

teevee, its great that they got that murderer in perth and released his name. i call for a public stoning

7:44 am

I wish that M was an E.

7:44 am

i want liquor to be there

7:44 am

But then again, you probably always want liquor to be there, right Shadow? :)

7:45 am

shadow...yes, he must be mad! Poor little girl

7:45 am

i thought that one of the words today was another name for a fanny fart

7:45 am

how many total words today?

7:45 am

woo hoo i just found a word that discribes me

7:45 am

262

7:46 am

no alchol very bad for me

7:46 am

ah - i have a long way to go then - i have 164 and am really struggling now. May be time to take a break

7:46 am

i am crazy hyper

7:46 am

i'm off to work- have a good day all- you especially abe

7:47 am

i have 233 left to find! lol

7:47 am

Teevee i used to work in the legal system as a security guard and i can tell you the some perps needed a public stoning

7:48 am

i like the florida system where all names and crimes are listed on the web

7:48 am

bye bluephlox!

7:48 am

bye blue

7:48 am

I DON"T like our system in Tennessee--we executed a man this morning

7:55 am

7:55 am

atlatl is just the best word. even better than ywis, just

7:55 am

7:55 am

Absolutely, Ata :)

7:56 am

8:01 am

niquil is my other word for the day, thank you denis leary

8:13 am

sprite, were you able to complete sudoku yesterday? neither my mom nor I could finish it.

8:13 am

shutterbug: yes, I did. Had to start over once, though.

8:14 am

My mom and I both got stuck and couldnt go any further. I think it is because we dont know ALL of the strategies.

8:14 am

i have trees in my head to

8:15 am

now I'm wokring on todays.

8:15 am

oh dear, call a tree surgeon, shadow!

8:15 am

no i meant i have the word tree in my head, that and NIQUL

8:15 am

LOL annie.

I'm off. Duty calls.

8:16 am

Shutterbug: I am not very much into the techniques either. Most techniques are just extensions of logical reasoning, and that's what I like best. So I am never very fast with sudoku :)

8:17 am

We dont try to be fast, we take all day. My mom usually does them though, not me. she prints them, does them on paper and gives thyem to me to put in the computer.

8:18 am

i usually mark all the greenies, then i go row-by-row, column-by-column, and box-by-box looking for any numbers that are alone... if theres only one green "2" in a row, thats where the 2 is, no matter what other greenies are in that little square...

8:18 am

I just like the solving. No matter how slow I am, if I can get it solved, it gives me a kick.

8:19 am

woo hoo i just hit my highest amount of words

8:19 am

Good Evening All what is the icon theme for today

8:19 am

Gratz, Shadow.

8:20 am

Nope q words can sod off

8:20 am

but I have only one of the 8s! Anyone help?

8:20 am

8:20 am

I have an at8

8:21 am

This is his old home, and he hasn't been here in over a year, but is acting like he never left-it's all stored away in memory. Boy don't you wonr what their little pea brains make of being stuffed in a carrier and suddenly being someplace else?

8:26 am

Though Re8 sounds more like seeing if your clothes are the right size backwards.

8:38 am

our monkeys do have special skills, don't they!

8:38 am

they're very special monkeys

8:38 am

the se8 is still driving me bonkers-it doesn't seem to be any normal spelling of the neurotransmitter-or am I just bind as usual?

8:38 am

Babble monkeys, a whole new breed. Shadow: there are 4 feline words.

8:39 am

Got all the 8's, but as far as the biggies go, I'm missing a 9......I have the qu9, what's the other plz?

10:15 am

Correct Kallia, it is an 8.

10:19 am

good day! I was looking at your se8 clues ,but doesnt that brain chemical have two o's in it?

10:19 am

not here, shirin

10:20 am

The proper brain chemical, the one we are familiar with, is seratonin, I believe

10:20 am

shirin, leave out the on

10:20 am

got it, thanks

10:21 am

Just looked it up, can you believe, the real meaning for the se8 is a widely distrubuted genus of usually small brown bats!!

10:21 am

Might be serotonin...

10:21 am

FM , i could do with that se8!

10:22 am

oh, dear, i meant WITHOUT

10:22 am

Wonderful...now I know the name of a genus of brown bats that live in my brain....

10:22 am

I think it's seratonin - I had a fit a couple of weeks ago because I thought it was in the grid, but I had misspelled it, as is apparently common, since I had quite a few google-hits with my spelling

10:22 am

hi all

10:22 am

10:49 am

That's a very good question, and I wish I knew the answer!!!

10:49 am

thanx so much jaianniah!

10:50 am

Everyone in Cornwall likes to play chess?

10:50 am

Could well be!!!!

10:50 am

yw, Penguin

10:51 am

Oh I so wish I could understand the codes you all use......lolo

10:51 am

What "codes"?

10:52 am

for the clues that are being passed to and fro'!

10:52 am

at* is a lawyer....

10:52 am

The Cornish flag was adopted from the Saint of the tin miners, St. Piran. The black is said to represent the ashes of the smelting fires and the white the colour of the metal - good old google

10:52 am

flask, it's easy...the first number is the amount of letters and the one after the / is the number of points for that letter and the letters are the begionning of the words

10:53 am

Learn something new every day...TY, FMitch!

10:53 am

can u show me an example please?

10:53 am

ra5/10 means a 5 letter word starting with ra worth 10 points.

10:54 am

Okay....ce4/4 means that it is a four letter word made up of letters that are all one point each...

10:54 am

qu 4/7 = the words starts with qu it has 4 letters and counts 7 points

10:54 am

well, I was going to make a joke about black & white and something to do with tin mines, but couldn't think of anything...

10:54 am

I didn't know that either jai. ro4/4 1st 2 letters of the word ro , 4 letters in tital and tile score = 4 for an extra clue is is a garden flower

10:54 am

Thanks FMitch, I'll remember that I hope

10:55 am

fireworks for me!!!!

10:55 am

ok.....thats been helpful...

10:55 am

tr9 - italian restaurant with a alt. final vowel.

I'm in a focus group for research into charity giving. They're paying me £40!

1:32 pm

What charm said...beat me to it....

Not sure what the spelling is of the Italian restaraunt...

1:33 pm

Interesting, matty! How much time do you have to give them?

Two hours

1:35 pm

Thanks, Charm, for the 9 clue. I got it!

1:35 pm

Time for me to be off, hope tomorrow's is a bit smaller the grid I mean!!!!

1:35 pm

mattygroves, how much is that in American money?

1:35 pm

Bye FMitch I'll tell TSM and Capone you ask about them

Am I just being stupid - Can I have another clue? It's around $55 ish...

1:36 pm

Thanks faeire

1:36 pm

Bye Fmitch - 125 left to find.....

Maybe more

1:36 pm

peri, I have done some focus groups in Atlanta. Best one paid $175 for about 2 hours.

1:38 pm

I was recently in a mock jury that took more than 8 hours but we were paid $300. Munner how did your chemo go yesterday?

Can someone be a wee bit more specific on the Italian restaurant - I keep tryhing what I think it is, and it doesn't work.

1:39 pm

Good day yesterday, but all treatment days have always gone well.

1:39 pm

My brain has died....so am off for a while......g'nite to you all....xx

1:40 pm

I have to go to the grocery store but I'll be back for my last 131 wrds here shortly.....*better change first*

1:40 pm

Night Flask :)

1:40 pm

I think it's more than 55...not sure of exchange rate now, but I think it's more. (refresh for a S. Bassey icon). We used to tease my dad for playing her records all the time. Do I sound old saying "records?"

1:40 pm

bbl

1:40 pm

My 30 something daughter gets called regularly for focus groups. She's even had some where her 6 and 9 year old sons got to participate. They'

1:41 pm

They've done toy studies and snack food studies for kids.

1:41 pm

Bye, fearie!

1:41 pm

Munner - now that is smart! I have 3 kids and would be willing to do that!

1:41 pm

brb

1:42 pm

Matty - does what you keep trying end with an A? if so, change that vowel

1:42 pm

esquian, What a beautiful baby!

1:42 pm

does anyone have the ye 5 please? thanks!

1:42 pm

Not a bad gig, it sounds. Look into it, esquian. I think my friend does it. I'll have to ask her how she got into it.

1:42 pm

Thank you!

1:43 pm

I can send you some signup sites if you're interested. I'm sure the DC area has some good opportunities.

1:44 pm

that would be great! it would be something for us to do, especially in these long summer months when there's no school....

1:44 pm

my e-mail address is auntto20@yahoo.com

1:45 pm

Munner, would you please send me some sign up sites too, I live in Phila. Pa. I will put my e-mail address in my profile.

Am I being really, really stupid? tr9 - Italian restaurant - are the forth and fifth leters the same as the first?

1:46 pm

Ill get the list from my daughter and send it out to you. I'll put Babble from Munner in the subject line.

1:46 pm

yes, matty

1:46 pm

esquian, do you really have 20 nieces and nephews?

1:46 pm

here goes my attempt for ye 5: word for noble man, change g to y and drop last 5 letters add e

1:46 pm

matty, the tr9 ends with the second vowel

1:47 pm

yes, I do. I am the youngest of 8 children and my husband is the middle of 7, so between the two of us, we have 20. It's great!

1:47 pm

yes Matty

OK, got it now. In fact, it seems I got it a few goes ago...and didn't notice. Sigh.

1:47 pm

Lucky you. What wonderful family reunions!

1:47 pm

Munner did you see my request?

1:47 pm

The one downside is that the ones on my side are no where near my childrens' ages, but the ones on my husband's side are close in age and in the area.

1:48 pm

Yes, reunions are fun. My son (3 year old) was the ring bearer in my oldest nephew's wedding. It was really neat.

1:48 pm

it worked for me, inge..ty

1:48 pm

Yes, peri. But if you don't hear from me in a couple days, ask me again. I blame all forgetfulness on "chemo brain"!

1:49 pm

okay, Munner, thanks

1:49 pm

thanks inge, i'm going to work on it :)

1:49 pm

sorry to hear of chemo, Munner. Sounds like you caught the reoccurance of your cancer quickly. That's key, I'm sure.

1:50 pm

Are you in DC proper, Esquian? Rachael Ray was there last night for her 40.00 a Day program. I get into the city a few times a year.

1:50 pm

No, I'm out in the burbs in VA, but would be willing to go in if I could bring my kids with me.

1:51 pm

It's only about 20 minutes away

1:51 pm

Rachel Ray - she's the cook right?

1:51 pm

My husband used to commute to Tyson's Corner from here (Hagerstown). It was brutal. I was wondering what it would be like to like right in the city with kids. Would be difficult, I think. Yes, that's her.

Gawd, that would be some commute, Krista!

1:52 pm

live right in the city, I meant

1:52 pm

That is a hellish commute. That's one reason we still live in our townhouse. My husband's commute is 20 minutes door to door.

1:52 pm

Well, it SHOULD have taken a little over an hour, but the traffic is so bad there now (Rt. 7?).

1:53 pm

@0 min. is great. Mine works from home now, and he does not take it for granted. He is grateful every day!

1:53 pm

how did you find focus groups around you, matty?

1:54 pm

Yes, I would think the city would be difficult with young children. With the lack of parking you'd have to ride the subway or walk everywhere... that's hard with strollers. :)

1:54 pm

That's GREAT, Krista. My husband is trying to get a telecommuting program going at his work, but they are just resisten.

1:54 pm

* resistent

1:56 pm

Nice chatting with you, Krista. Gotta run. My 5yo wants to play checkers...... I should get her onto Babble!

1:56 pm

I hope he can convince them. It's good for everyone involved.

1:56 pm

Have a great afternoon!

1:56 pm

you too!

1:57 pm

bye, esquian/ enjoy your little ones!

1:57 pm

Hi everyone! bit of a doozie, today!

1:57 pm

HI Deutsch!

1:57 pm

Hi Peri!

1:59 pm

Thanks, Munner! It was nice talking to you, too, and thanks for the focus group info. I'll let you know how it goes... I hope you're feeling OK.

2:00 pm

at 110 words and stuck. taking a break. bbl and will proably go to one of the lists

2:00 pm

Later peri!

2:01 pm

I'm off...my daughter just asked me to play a game, too!

2:01 pm

Have fun, Krista

2:02 pm

Thanks! Bye everyone.

2:05 pm

3:03 pm

Congratulations ch1212 - Stephie C needs your help!

3:04 pm

Stephie, if you have the te 5/12 above it, then use the first 3 letters, then the beverage letter, then 3rd vowel, beverage letter again and 2nd vowel... does that spell it out? :)

3:05 pm

I don't have the te5 above it!

3:05 pm

hi all

3:05 pm

and if you don't have the te 5/12 above it, use the first 3 letters of the word describing the people you call for te** support with computer problems

3:05 pm

Hi!

3:06 pm

ok, the 4's i have left - (don't need hints on these) ca 4/5, in 4/4 , 2 ir 4/4's and an ir5,10, li 4/6

When one person has six posts in a row, I start wondering...

3:29 pm

(((sorry)))

3:29 pm

no problem, since I am going to study the weather for tonights fireworks on the Detroit river, now.

3:30 pm

kinda sleepy here T_T

3:33 pm

Hi I'm back

3:37 pm

Esquian, I'm here...

3:37 pm

Hey! Looks like we're on for the big trip

3:38 pm

yaaahhh!

3:38 pm

Dan is going to fly down after work on the 12th

3:38 pm

Is it still raining there?

3:38 pm

nope...today is our reprieve day

3:39 pm

no rain is good...we could use a little though...has Dan been off work?

3:39 pm

kids in pool. Youngest is asleep. there's something called a "tropical event" they're tracking for us, though.

3:39 pm

no, no work missed. the fed gov was on liberal leave on Monday

3:39 pm

So he flies on Wed eve and do you leave then or thurs am?

3:40 pm

no, we'll probably leave on Saturday. We've decided to miss his cousin's wedding. He was just exhausted by the thought of flying down and turning right back around.

3:41 pm

sounds like a GREAT plan! are you planning on chatta during the visit?

3:42 pm

I was thinking about that, since Mom's surgery will be done after we get there. Therese mentioned something about Lake Winnie sometime, although it might be hot for that....

3:43 pm

Do you think Mom would be too overwhelmed by all that company right after?

3:43 pm

btw, tmsm doesn't know we're coming

3:43 pm

that was part of our conversation when she asked if we were coming over the summer

3:44 pm

however, we will see Nana for much of August, so I don't know if we should go? Short answer: I don't know yet. What do you think?

3:44 pm

I probably won't be talking to her to tell her :} I don't know about mom...her plan is surgery on the 5th, 4 or 5 days at P &K's for recovery and then I told her I would come after my bday

3:45 pm

we could play it by ear

3:45 pm

ahhhh....so she'll be staying at P&K's anyway. We could take over her house then and not overwhelm her

3:45 pm

I can go after you guys head home...

3:46 pm

do you think she'd be mad if we were there and she wasn't or be really happy that we were using her place and getting to visit with her?

3:46 pm

is she expecting you right after P&K's though?

3:47 pm

en7/28 please??

3:48 pm

sorry dodge, I have no e's yet. esquian we still had not pinned down a date, she didn't seem to really want me there right away, so I don't know...

3:48 pm

hi dodge.... to go in more than once

3:48 pm

en - what you put in your diary ....

3:49 pm

cheers!!

3:49 pm

ok....we can play by ear. no big one if we don't make it.

3:51 pm

ok, well, it's like this; ya all gott understand...I just found my 100th word. That is a big deal for me. I gotta go now and help my husband. But I HIT 100!!!

3:51 pm

way to go 1j2u3d4y!

3:51 pm

3:52 pm

congrats!

3:52 pm

Goob, I like your name

3:52 pm

thank you thank you thank you...judy takes a bow...

3:53 pm

thanks... it is because i am one, unfortunately!

3:53 pm

my sister calls my son a gooby...what exactly does that mean? I'm assuming a silly person??

3:54 pm

exactly... but with affection, not with derision in any way

3:55 pm

a gooby...the definition of esquian's extremely cute little fellow...EXACTLY goob!

3:57 pm

finally, my first seven of the day...this could be a forewarning to go start dinner!

3:57 pm

debb, my mom just got off email-sorry, i have to go bye

3:57 pm

bye mike - love you

3:59 pm

norad - found out today that kiddo #3 might have eczema

4:02 pm

eczema? I can hardly spell it, what are her symptoms?

4:03 pm

she's got red, bumpy patches at the creases of her elbows and back of knees and some red spots that won't go away on back of her thighs

4:03 pm

we can lessen it, but it never goes away completly

4:03 pm

* completely

4:03 pm

elbows and knees is very symptomatic of ezcema

4:04 pm

did the dr. tell you?

4:04 pm

yeah...that's what the pediatrition said

4:04 pm

doesn't nora anne have that?

4:04 pm

maybe....she had a pretty severe case right?

4:05 pm

yeah, but didn't really diagnose until later in life...

4:05 pm

it is something that she'll have forever, but it's a "flare up" thing from what I understand

4:05 pm

that # 3, good thing she's such a cutie girl! how is it controlled?

4:05 pm

doesn't seem to bother her much. I see her itching it sometimes but not often.

4:06 pm

I know....seems she's just getting so many things the others don't/didn't have

4:06 pm

my experiences with eczema if you're interested - try cutting out milk / dairy products. often helps a *lot*. whatever she does, don't scratch the stuff lol and moisturise moisturise moisturise!

4:06 pm

controlled by creams/lotions for moisture. if it gets really bad they can prescribe something like Elidel

4:07 pm

but I don't think they'll do that 'til she's over two

4:07 pm

Thanks, Atalante. I'll give that a try. She has backed off the milk lately. i wonder if it "flares" right after she drinks it. hmmm....

4:08 pm

Atalante, all dairy? can she live without ice cream? yikes!

4:09 pm

it might well do - its a really common eczema thing. I always feel so much better when I discipline myself and have soy milk and soy icecream!

4:09 pm

doesn't always work though :P

4:10 pm

any clues for the ac 6 (first one) please

4:11 pm

sorry, can't help aknitter, only have a 4 and 2 5's

4:11 pm

ac 6 = WWI flier + type of foil to cover food

4:12 pm

great clue dawn gray ty

4:12 pm

thx DawnGray!

4:15 pm

yw

4:15 pm

txs, atalante for the dairy stuff. she's not eating ice cream yet, so maybe she won't know what she's missing! ;)

4:16 pm

wtg DawnGray, that gave me both ac 6's and the tr 8. You never know what one word can open up!

4:16 pm

its definitely worth a go. doesn't work for everyone, but it works for a lot of people with eczema (and asthma)!

4:16 pm

Please excuse my ignorance with this great game - I'm a newbie. Question: Can you tie this page in with the Lickety's Babble Clues Page so if you type a word in on the Lickety page it comes up on this page too? Thanks, Barb

4:17 pm

sorry, babbz, that's about the only thing lickety';s page doesn't do

4:19 pm

wowzer...I have 10 te's left

4:20 pm

Wow! I haven't got the other ac6 or tr8 yet.

4:21 pm

btw, I was reading comments about someone's child having eczema and wanted to share my theory on this...i have it too and i think there's a connection between perspiration and eczema. I started putting antiperspirant behind my knees, in my elbow folds, neck, etc. and guess what - I don't get any flare ups there. I figured if it's okay for underarms, it's probably okay everywhere else too so I use ban roll on and i'll be dipped, it works like a charm! i can't imagine it can hurt a child any more than the eczema but you should probably check with your doc first.

phantom word - metric

the t words seem endless today...

4:22 pm

I would say that that depends on whether someone's skin reacts badly to antiperspirants or not ...

4:23 pm

evening all

4:23 pm

ac 6/21: something done or accomplished and tr8 builds off the front of that...hope this helps

4:23 pm

hello oggy...

4:23 pm

thanks, babbz. might be worth a try. I will ask the doc. We're going in for an appointment tomorrow to confirm, so I'll ask.

4:24 pm

very true- gotta be a ymmv thing, but i do think that some folks are allergic to their own perspiration - it's just too strong .

4:24 pm

Now I got 'em. Thanks, Norad

4:24 pm

actor

4:24 pm

Hi, everyone--I'm following the exzema conversation. Could it be hives, by any chance? I'm not an MD BY THE WAY, BUT i'M PLAGUED W/HIVES, AND WE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. (sorry about caps lock). I take antihistamines

4:24 pm

good afternoon everyone

4:24 pm

glad to help DawnGray!

4:24 pm

hiya ardilla

4:25 pm

hello ardilla...

4:25 pm

I'm not sure which ends up being worse - perspiration or anti-perspirant!!

4:26 pm

funny you should ask about the hives thing. We were at another appointment today, and someone mentioned they have had eczema since they were a kid. she was given steroids for it back then. wouldn't that be something given for hives?

4:26 pm

i have taken steroids for hives

4:26 pm

you do get steroids for bad eczema ...

4:27 pm

Keep in mind that some soaps and detergents cause different reactions.

Hello peopleseses. I'm here for a quick hello

4:27 pm

I don't think my daughter's is hives, though. It's not raised enough, I don't think. It's more scabby (sorry for that visual).

4:27 pm

I'm just on zyrtec prescription--but the mystery is what in the world causes it

4:27 pm

scabby and yellow-y clear scabby stuff ... (even nicer visuals)!

4:28 pm

when my eczema gets bad, I end up on oral and topical steroids. Joy.

4:28 pm

I have eczema as well. Mine is controlled with steroid creams, one for the face and one for the body following with a thick moisturizer like Eucerin. I haven't had a breakout in about 18 months but I keep the steroids handy just in case.

4:29 pm

hi leigh

4:29 pm

mirandapan - the nurse at the doctor's office said that no one really knows the cause of eczema. It's just really over sensative skin. She said her whole family has it, adn it can flare just by laying down on a carpet or laying next to a chemical that is of no harm to others.

4:30 pm

she recommended Eucerin and Aquafor

4:30 pm

I feel your pain, Atalante. It's quite gross especially when it's on your upper lip!

4:30 pm

Right, esq--mysteries of the medical world. The smaller things that we can't seem to figure out.

4:30 pm

what is Aquafor? a moisturizer?

4:31 pm

its a bloody stupid condition! its so individual ... you'll just have to find through trial and error what irritates them ...

4:31 pm

norad - yes, it's like intense vasaline

4:31 pm

we've been putting a heavy coat of A&D on at nights before bed and it definitely fades it but it never goes completely away

4:32 pm

I need help with ti6/21

4:32 pm

much like stupid allergies...the triggers vary from person to person even in the same family.

got all the Ls! lalalalala!

4:32 pm

you said she is scratching, just time to time or often? is it worse when she plays in the pool (or sun)

4:32 pm

it probably will go away eventually. it seems to come and go over months. I used to have it all over my body as a baby - literally all over - and then suddenly it vanished until about 2 years ago. Who knows why!

4:33 pm

ti6/21 rhymes with Mr Brosnan's first name

4:33 pm

thx Haz, good clue...

4:33 pm

oh thanx

4:34 pm

I like anything that makes me think of Mr Brosnan....

4:34 pm

my mom and brother can't stand being outside because of the pollen. I can't being indoors somedays because of the dust and mold.

4:35 pm

Norad - she scratches very rarely. doesn't seem to bother her much. she doesn't go in the pool, although I'm going to put her in today for the first time. I guess we'll see

4:35 pm

I'd just keep a really close eye on when she does scratch. you might be able to narrow down what's irritating her skin that way

4:35 pm

omg, ardilla. that's just insane, isn't it? nature's little (or big!) annoyances

4:35 pm

Good luck with it, Atalante!

ti 6/21 is a toughie - it's between the 1st two ti 4/4s - time to call in the monkeys

4:36 pm

good to know it might go away eventually, Atalante!

and i just got it - after scanning bottom line of chat & seeing the name Brosnan{swoon}

4:37 pm

Yeah, first swim in the pool day with the "big kids"...I'm excited for her...watch the slide though... :0

4:37 pm

oh yes - more than likely it will, at least for a while! It seems to work at least vaguely on the same idea of 7 year cycles like asthma and bronchitis. so persevere!

4:37 pm

thanks for the chat about the eczema. Good info and good hope! :) Now to the pool with the little one! :) I'm thinking I'm not going to get many words today, but this has been really helpful!

4:37 pm

tr 8/45 anyone?

4:37 pm

have fun with her!

4:38 pm

tr8/45 - the act of drawing or pulling.

4:38 pm

like if they ever got strep throat, I'm in trouble because I'm highly allergic to penicillin. Good luck with her, esquian!

4:38 pm

debbinla... tr + ac 6/21

4:38 pm

and of COURSE thats the only ac i don't have

4:39 pm

4:46 pm

The dictionary says it can have white or black plumage. Nothing about how good looking it is.

4:47 pm

mi4/7 - an adjective for mi4/5 the bug. Add the sometimes vowel

Okay everyone, I'm heading out. Time for class! Perhaps I'll be back later. Happy babbling!

yup - we're [playin' chat-tag. i'm off to a class on my Huffy-Puffy bike.

4:49 pm

Bye leighprefect - I'm going as well, though not to class. Atalante, how are you getting on. Did you find you had time to babble after all?

4:50 pm

I'm just trying to search for my last 2 (after giving up and getting the list :P

4:50 pm

So, you're almost there - I'll say congratulations in advance!

4:51 pm

4:51 pm

4:54 pm

yw, night!

4:54 pm

bye Haz! and thanks for the clueeeee :)

4:54 pm

deb--yes--and a vowel + cons

4:55 pm

You're welcome, Atalante! Bye all!

4:56 pm

Deb, 1st qu7, it's like a barbershop qu***** with an extra member....

4:56 pm

thanks all - i'm working on it

qu9 is a french fivesome

4:58 pm

and bye from me too!

4:58 pm

qu9/72 is diminutive of 5-piece group...

4:58 pm

was looking the wrong way - thanks so much everyone

4:59 pm

which is actually a re-spelling of the qu7 which is pronouced exactly the same....

4:59 pm

or, feminine...

oddly, the feminine is not necessarily a girl group - or should i say "enesmble des jeunes filles"

5:00 pm

lol, melon!

tx & bye - off to life drawing.

5:00 pm

maybe just diminutive...

5:01 pm

hello all, just got home with Matthew after the tooth adventure... he is really groggy but okay. It'll be a couple days before he is back on solid food, though!

5:01 pm

Hey Gang any clues for the cr7???

5:01 pm

I love life drawing-- just heard of a really affordable workshop!

5:02 pm

hi faeriekae! the cr 7/32 I have is the animals we keep, no matter the type

5:02 pm

acr7/32 is a beastie

qu9 requires 3 right turns to start - whereas qu7 does not - that's what made it so hard to find - "I shoulda turned right at Albuquerque?"

5:02 pm

and REFRESH please

5:02 pm

thanks Stid :)

5:02 pm

much nicer, Faerie!

5:03 pm

looks like a hamadryad/...

5:03 pm

looks like a hamadryad/...

5:04 pm

hey, gang! in my rush to get ready for my trip I forgot to tell you all I was going back East for almost 3 weeks -- here at the Jersey Shore in Cape May, getting tan (for me) with a ton of relatives!

5:04 pm

oops, sorry about that double post. I am going to go silent now and grab the list. Got halfway last night and haven't touched it since...

5:04 pm

LOL

5:04 pm

you blink, faerie :)

5:04 pm

5:04 pm

Mich have a safe trip

5:04 pm

Lib yeah isn't that cool :)

5:04 pm

oh -- is that where you've disappeared to mich! Hope it's not raining in Jersey!

5:05 pm

yes, very cool :-)

5:05 pm

only raining at night, thank goodness! Missing the heat wave in the PNW for overcast skies & partial sun in NJ -- ironic

5:05 pm

Lib I'm using the emoticons from MSN instant messenger

evandine - i have the same problem.

5:06 pm

And another irony -- on vacation I have *less* time to Babble than in "real life", LOL! I miss it & you guys.

5:06 pm

ty, faerie, I'll check em out!

5:06 pm

very strange, mich! but nice for you! And the heat is abating somewhat today (fortunately) so we are not so uncomfortable.

got it! not in? go back. (that was a cryptic clue)

5:08 pm

good to hear, I'll let you (and me) get back to entering words, just wanted to say Hi All!

5:08 pm

we miss you too mich -- when will you be home?

5:08 pm

evandine, I had a hard time finding that one, too. sounds like lice (one lice) plus a preposition

5:08 pm

thanks harp!

5:09 pm

hi stid et al -- just sneaking a peek during a library lull

5:09 pm

harp, got it from your clue... thanks. and thanks melonhead -- your clue got me "almost" there!

5:09 pm

Hi Jill :)

5:09 pm

thx, stid! I'll be back Jul. 10 late, but brought my laptop with me for the lulls between visiting

5:09 pm

hi Jill! *dives back into entering words in the list*

5:10 pm

okay, mich, hope to "see" you again soon -- and ENJOY! :-)

5:10 pm

a clue please for the N on the left in the middle??

5:12 pm

Hullo all--missed you yesterday, when I was doing stupid medical things in Victoria. Now I'm back fromn a restorative spell with my daughter, and I've plunged in --tho I doubt I'll be able to finish it's fun trying to keep up with you all

5:12 pm

hello dear hetty, wondered where you were. Hope all is well with you, and glad you had time to visit with your daughter.

5:12 pm

5:13 pm

Hi Hetty

5:13 pm

5:14 pm

5:14 pm

5:14 pm

I already have that in

5:14 pm

5:15 pm

I'm just fine, thanks Stid, tho I'm facing (minor) surgery in Vancouver July 11.

5:15 pm

greek gods & goddesses consumed n**** & ambrosia...

5:15 pm

no prob, libarebel!

5:15 pm

oh hetty, you are not officially on my "list"!

5:16 pm

hetty, i wish you well july 11th

5:16 pm

Hetty, we will send you good thoughts for a speedy recovery, dear lady

5:16 pm

I meant "NOW" officially on my list.....

5:17 pm

hetty -- will that interfere with your trip to Ashland?

5:18 pm

flask - did you find it?

5:19 pm

Thaks all. I was worried about NOT being on your list, Stid--feel much better that it's a NOW! I shall go to Ashland-look it's no life-threatening matter, really--and nothing will keep me from the fourth of july and King John in Ashland anyway!

5:20 pm

:-) then I feel better about all of it, and you are STILL on my list. {{{hetty}}}

5:21 pm

hi everybody! just finished, anyone need clues?

5:21 pm

hi fran, congats

5:21 pm

YAY Fran!

5:21 pm

Flask did you get it? there is also a fruit like a peach called a ne****ine

5:21 pm

5:26 pm

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

thanks debb!

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

5:27 pm

good for you feather -- naps are important!

5:27 pm

LOL debb, only if the heat is REALLY bad down there...

5:27 pm

i needed it, been going nonstop since saturday

5:28 pm

good for you feather! enjoy while you just have one, when there are two it's harder to nap.

5:28 pm

it's insane here ! and its muggy - which southern californias do not know how to handle

5:28 pm

I am, however, down to 109. Will stop at 100 and go play outside just a little, watering the veggies today.

5:28 pm

Stid the last at add double consant then add the first ri4/4

5:29 pm

you'll still beat me - hehe

5:29 pm

hola amigos y amigas

5:29 pm

hi bbnaz!

5:29 pm

OK, I'm a total newbie... the "tile stats" refers to words that begin with that letter?

5:29 pm

stid, what kind of veggies

5:29 pm

Hi Bbnaz

5:30 pm

Candace you are correct

5:30 pm

hola, bbnaz

5:30 pm

candace, they refer to the number of words that start with a particular tile

5:30 pm

we have tomatoes, garlic, squash and pumpkins, and a few lettuces that haven't bolted yet. I want to plant some flower seeds tomorrow.

5:30 pm

{{{{{{BBNAZ}}}}} *Mrs. Weasley's voice* Where HAVE you been?

5:30 pm

fabulous -- that's super helpful

5:30 pm

hank you

5:31 pm

Candace did you go to the bottom of the page and click on Angelsongs Resource page? If not it will be a big help to you. Everything you ever wanted to know about babble is in there

5:31 pm

it is so bloody hot here that by the time i get done riding my horses it is time to sleep and rejuvenate for the morning.........

5:31 pm

must be fun to cook with things from your own garden, i still need to get some herbs growing, we keep saying we're going to.

5:32 pm

i am slowly killing a fuschia plant that was never intended to live in the desert

5:32 pm

well, okay... but know you were missed terribly... how is the mama and baby -- I forgot their names it's been so long...

5:32 pm

Iris and Luna. They are getting ready to go to summer camp where it is much COOLER

5:32 pm

Strangely, herbs are a plant I have extreme difficulty keeping alive... we have a few chives and a bay plant that finally decided to live...

{{{{Stid}}}

5:32 pm

Luna is going to be gray just like her mum

5:33 pm

Good. So Iris is healing well and Luna is (I hope) settling down a bit?

5:33 pm

hi Daisy, I IM'd you a bit ago... I see you replied and I hadn't seen it blinking at me.

5:33 pm

that's funny stid because most herbs grow like weeds!

5:33 pm

Hi Daisy

5:33 pm

Iris has finally been given the green light to go out to pasture so all is well there. Luna is growing like a weed and needs to be out where she can run and play. Enuf of this stall rest she says!

hi faeri:)

5:34 pm

hi daisy!

5:34 pm

I am the only person in the world, I suspect, for whom the easy plants go quickly and the difficult ones thrive...

Fran! hey:)

5:34 pm

well, good for all of you! Will you be going to summer camp too?

5:35 pm

poor stid, trying to carry on three conversations!! :-)

5:36 pm

Thanks, Fran--thanks, debb--for your good thoughts.

5:36 pm

5:36 pm

My garden of friendship is just full of the sweetest flowers

5:36 pm

YEE HAW indeed! and a little bit of "culcha" I hope! no mucking out stalls for a few hours?

we're actually having a "cold spell" today...only 91!

5:39 pm

okay, everyone who wants to be part of *my* garden of friendship, please email me with your favorite flower (or if you don't have one, favorite color or sound) and I will put one together! I am thinking of calling it the "Garden of Babble" -- and hope it doesn't mangle communication... ;-)

5:40 pm

20kg isn't enough luggage allowance for a fortnight.:( Caan have 5kg hand luggage,too, plus my handbag.

Jac....why don't you just do like I told our daughter to do when she flies out here Friday? she's not bringing any soap or deo or toothbrush...I'll buy it all when she gets here, and she'll leave it when she goes! that way she can bring more stuff!

6:09 pm

6:10 pm

well, I feel the same way -- but no meetings and only 98 to go Jill! It's not a good grid for me today.

6:11 pm

debb, what you have to do to make older things work with newer technology.

6:11 pm

let me know if you need more

6:11 pm

Daisy - It might come to that. If we leave what we don't use in the apartment the maids can have it after, or the next people who stay.

Im sorry to ask Fran but I cannot see the re 8/55 clue anymore, could you give it again?

6:23 pm

great company!!

6:24 pm

katican, re8/55 is what you have to do to older things to make them work with new technology.

6:24 pm

katican - you can view the whole chatlog by clicking the icon above (far right) of this box.

6:24 pm

katican, a 70's bout of epilepsy?

6:24 pm

oh, didnt know that, thanks Jac :)

6:24 pm

It opens in a new window and so doesn't affect your game.

6:25 pm

clever bambam!

6:25 pm

kat, the re8 is the same as the re6/18 but not plural + if your clothes are too tight they dont ***

6:25 pm

lol bam

6:26 pm

i am missing a ca6,21.... not the feline + particle one... the other one

6:27 pm

bambam, add a 'cute' ending to the feline

6:27 pm

god i must have tried that 17 times.... or not... i guess! hahaha thanks

6:28 pm

or alt spelling of the ca5/16 that women can be sometimes.

I thought of that Fran...but it just seemd too ridiculous...

6:29 pm

I was amazed when that one worked earlier. Wouldn't let me have the rodents though.

6:29 pm

yw bambam.

6:29 pm

i know daisy! i guess we shouldn't be too surprised.

6:30 pm

jac, you'd think we could have the rodents since more of the rodents works!

6:32 pm

Finally.....Sheesh :)

speaking of the rodents...I just tried what I thought was a silly word...and it worked...*scratches head in amazement at Enable*

6:33 pm

i've discovered the key to the game is just to try every ridiculous word.

7:47 pm

i'm also missing the ni5,10 between the opposite of day, and the fertiliser

7:48 pm

My phantom words of the day: forfeit, mi5/12+ity, ne6/21+ine, nicety, eccentricity & electricity.

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

ni + opposite of off.

7:49 pm

some of the words that use the Y are ridiculous

7:49 pm

LOL!

7:49 pm

7:55 pm

jac, i've noticed that script blah blah blah thing on the bigger grids...takes about one or two times per 100 words or so ...least for me, cable connection

7:56 pm

8:10 pm

not a combo stid, first one is a farm vehicle

8:10 pm

Helen - Well, I generally get to the grid some 4 or 5 hours after it comes up, unless I've been doing an all-nighter or a very early start. It's 6am here in UK when the grid changes.

8:11 pm

got that one... thanks Fran

ty fran :) got the en's

and I almost missed said vehicle! Megan would have beaten me.

8:11 pm

tr9/54 is a casual italian restaurant, usually ends with A

8:11 pm

yw helen!

8:12 pm

That Italian restaurant made my monkeys type overtime.

8:12 pm

working on it, I know how it is spelled around here, but...

8:12 pm

especially since it's a slightly different spelling

8:12 pm

tr8 is what your leg might get put into if you break it badly.

8:13 pm

stid, spelling should be same except for last letter

8:13 pm

Stid - the ending of the Italian eating place is 2 vowels often used as a 'for example'.

8:13 pm

now to 76. thanks! also stumped (shameful, indeed) by the last TR 4.4 and the 7/28 which follows...

8:14 pm

and FYI -- the TR 9 is the italian plural for the regular restaurant...

It's a gait of a horse, stid, and the noun which comes from it

8:14 pm

stid, what a horse does and pig's feet

8:14 pm

tr4/4 - a horse's gait.

8:14 pm

tr7 - a pig's foot.

8:15 pm

pass the seahorse, please!

8:15 pm

Stid - Thanks, didn't know that.

8:15 pm

pig's foot? *thinking*

Jac...I'd never heard of that...

8:15 pm

sigh. spending 5 minutes trying 4 letter combos for a 5 letter word

8:15 pm

Stid - you cannot eat a seahorse! They are too beautiful to eat.

8:15 pm

hi, all-- back for a bit :-)

8:15 pm

is there an mi5,12 between the coal-pit and the spanish isle? because i found someone underage mi5,18 which was not on lickety's list

8:15 pm

go feather go! LOL

It's what they're called, stid, but it's related to the tr 4.

8:16 pm

seahorses are superdads!

8:16 pm

aisy - never heard of what?

8:16 pm

hi all - just starting out, foolishly, foolishly...

8:16 pm

that's what i have bambam

8:16 pm

not coming up with a word for the pig foot... more help please?

8:17 pm

Bambam - Yes the underage person is in the grid. No idea if it was on the list though.

that word after the "horse's gait" tr.... pigs feet word

Stid: For the third time, it's a noun that derives from the horse's gait

hiya ping!

8:17 pm

stid, one who tr4/4s

8:17 pm

stid could be a horse, or a pig's foot

8:17 pm

Stid - Did you ever watch Only Fools & Horses? It's the surname of Delboy & Rodney.

8:17 pm

hi helen!

I think I'm getting lost in all the Babble . . .

8:17 pm

ok thanks Jac n Fran,,, then what is the mi5,12 then?

8:18 pm

nice icon, helen!!! winner!!!

*sigh* back outside...longer this trip...don't give any good clues while I'm gone! I need them!

8:18 pm

good morning all

8:18 pm

8:18 pm

that is just a strange word... but got it. thanks all.

8:18 pm

hi arisha

8:18 pm

69

8:19 pm

i'm missing an ra 6/18 from the 4 in a row; i have portion, math plural, and rhymes with dick van

8:19 pm

70

8:19 pm

Stid - it's not strange here in UK - it refers to types of racehorses, and also pigs feet (which were once a 'treat' boiled in aspic).

8:19 pm

the other mi5/12 bambam is british spelling of the joining of two pieces of wood in a right angle

8:20 pm

241

thx lib - when i chose it last night, i had no idea how well it would reflect my foul mood today, lol!!!

8:20 pm

rhymes with ... in a storm you bat*** down the hatches

8:20 pm

Hi SamanthaJoy. Are you found again?

8:20 pm

HI all, I am back again, ya6/24 please

8:20 pm

I'm being quiet in a corner for the time being, thank you for asking

8:21 pm

bambam, it was the underage person

8:21 pm

or6/21 - a natural purple dye.

8:21 pm

ra + not loose

8:22 pm

peri, ya6/24 rhymes with the ne6/18 sort of

8:22 pm

en 7,28?

8:22 pm

the underage person was 5,18... that's why i'm confused.... Lickety's list has a 5,12 between "not yours" and the spanish island

8:22 pm

thanks bambam, you rock!

8:22 pm

unda - you are either on the wrong site or you are 'seeing' a word that's not in the grid. Nuff said!

8:22 pm

someone please fuck me

8:23 pm

oh goodie, who wants to contact dr god?

8:23 pm

abe - isn't there still one ra 6/18 missing ? the last ra 6/18

8:23 pm

the underage person is mi5/12, your grid is probably wonky, it does that sometimes

8:23 pm

I will. brb

8:23 pm

thanks stid

8:23 pm

i have that too, my r's are complete. it was ra 6/18 frenzy!

8:26 pm

one rhymes with bat*** down the hatches... the other ends in stalec****

8:26 pm

peri, that was jac's clue, but it's first 3 letters of the whale + last 3 letters of a blood vessel

8:27 pm

8:27 pm

Feather - hang on. I'm trying to think of some way to clue it for you.

8:30 pm

youre the idiot

8:30 pm

Hey, Stidmama. Good grid today.

8:30 pm

Stid - keep abreast of things! Don't drop a boob! The wordsrelate to what goes on top of babies' bottles, or what holds milk for them in the natural way.

8:30 pm

ROFL Jac!

8:30 pm

Bambam - You've got the job.

8:31 pm

the middle en.... en + mi**** mouse without the GH

8:31 pm

8:31 pm

middle en is a bad feeling towards another

8:31 pm

oh feather -- are you (and he) going to be okay?

8:31 pm

9:25 pm

okay, back in a bit.

9:25 pm

dorens, it's plural for a casual italian restaurant that serves simple fare

9:25 pm

tr9 - like an Italian restaurant - with a different final vowel.

9:25 pm

FranMag - I did say it again. LOL.

9:25 pm

i know jac, was teasing you!! lol

9:26 pm

Charm - am singing that song now, 'The things we do for love'.

yay lbdawger!!!!!!

9:27 pm

okay, I'm giving up on my last word -- please someone help me with the first ac 6?

9:27 pm

Although, Fran, I have to say that the only tr9 I have ever been to (there was only 1, in Chicago) was pretty upscale. And the only saving grace was that my bosses at the time paid - so I didn't have heart failure at the bill.

9:28 pm

Charm - am that predictable??? Sins in unison anyway...

9:28 pm

nrk, highest card + metal for cans

9:28 pm

Sins are good, too, Jac.

9:28 pm

Jac - I have some favorite sins (reading trashy romances kinda tops the list) - so I won't judge you.

9:30 pm

Boy, I feel like drop-kicking my computer after that grid...

9:30 pm

i feel like that too and I have 11 left

9:30 pm

stid? helen? i really want to see you both finish, but need to get going soon!

9:31 pm

Middle age. One of the things it brings is gettiing pi**** 2 days before a crisis/celebration or whatever. It takes you that long to recover before it.

9:31 pm

it was a long one!

9:31 pm

Jac, you need an excuse to get pi****?

9:32 pm

okay, must take short break now, but will brb

9:32 pm

later nrk

9:32 pm

feather, they both left to do something

9:33 pm

I dunno. Once you could party all night and work next morning (sort of). Later .... Oh Jeeze! Pass the Resolve (hangover cure and rehydrater) someone!

9:33 pm

ya i know...was hoping they were back

9:33 pm

Jacula... I've heard of Chaser... what is Resolve?

9:35 pm

Just out of curiosity: did Dr_God drop kick the troll out of here?

9:35 pm

how would he make that happen, re troll?

9:36 pm

he must have, haven't seen hide nor hair

9:36 pm

back. Helen back yet? I don't want to finish without her!

9:36 pm

i imagine he makes their login invalid

9:36 pm

Paganlady - Resolve and Resolve Extra are made by Beechams. They have paracetamol, aspirin and rehydrating stuff in them. If you prefer another route, no less chemical, open a bottle of Coke ( not Pepsi) and let it go flat. It does the same job.BtW, my GP told me thaT!

9:36 pm

Dr_God has his ways.

9:36 pm

fran, will you pass these on to them, with my apologies for not sticking around to see them finish? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~BOOM*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~ #%#%#%#%#POW#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#

9:36 pm

oh, you're back stid!

9:36 pm

It sounded like the troll left on its own volition, but I think Dr. G will make it permanent

9:37 pm

*ooooh* *ahhhh* thanks feather!

9:37 pm

Jacula I've always thought Coke helped, but never let it go flat first

9:37 pm

re 8,55. i'm seeing double now, lol

9:37 pm

Chaser contains charcoal and something else... supposed to absorb the toxins if you take while drinking

9:37 pm

good night feather, see you tomorrow...

9:38 pm

a cold Coke always helped for me...back when i got pi**ed a lot that is

9:38 pm

welcome! be sure helen gets them too! night

9:38 pm

of course! sweet dreams

9:38 pm

night feather!!!!

9:39 pm

9:40 pm

good luck all

9:40 pm

bye paganlady!

9:41 pm

i'm cluelessssssss

9:41 pm

Paganlady - if you've got the squits (loose bowel movements, flat coke is the best cure. Just sipped though, not necked! When I was in the last week of my 2nd pregnancy, I got a gaastro-enteritis thing. The midwivewes (since I was having her at home) thought it would bring on the birth. I didn't know where best to sit on and where best to retch to, it was that bad! But my GP (local doctor) came in and prescribed te flat coke thing and it worked.

9:41 pm

later paganlady

9:41 pm

how interesting jac.

9:42 pm

i remember drinking flat coke back when i was a teenager if i was nauseous, and it helped for that

9:42 pm

babbz = take the re5/10 above your re8 + a 3-letter word (how snugly your clothes *** or *** to be tied).

9:42 pm

10:03 pm

oh, yes right stid - my brain is elsewhere, soaked up by the grid

10:03 pm

hiya mab !

10:03 pm

the en 6/27 is a dislike or hatred for someone or something.

10:03 pm

shoofly pie, mmmmmmm....

10:03 pm

thank you mistress....i was worried

10:04 pm

dbsue, the first number represents the total number of letters in the word, and the second, the total points (watch out on the points though, because a 5-letter word counts x2, a 6-letter word counts x3, etc)

10:04 pm

yeah, I can't think of what that hatred word might be

10:04 pm

don't let your bug near the pies ren

10:04 pm

en + high and m***** (mispelled)

10:04 pm

i won

10:05 pm

fireant renfield?

10:05 pm

i won;t mab..

10:05 pm

dbsue - the number on the letters just tell you the value of the tile - this comes in handy if you use lickety's list which you can find below the grid under friends of babble - it is a very handy check-off list

10:05 pm

yes - left over from yesterday...sorry - just arrived home from the office

10:05 pm

Translation _ I'm up late, drinking way too much and hoping I can get through all the airport stuff with a nicotine patch and sleep, anbd a big Babble to occupy me.

10:22 pm

one nine is qu 9, group of 5, with long (french) ending

10:23 pm

mmin, you welcomed me last night - appreciated that!

10:23 pm

seem to have a stutter tonight, apparently

10:23 pm

Crete is my destinatikon on Frikday night.

10:23 pm

the other 9 is like an italian casual restaurant -- tr 9, but end with different last vowel

10:24 pm

or even Friday night!

10:24 pm

ac 5/12 - the middle one?

10:24 pm

ah, okay will be able to wish you happy vacation tomorrow then, though also glad to wish you one tonight!

10:25 pm

ac 5/12 is what drama students do + not out

10:25 pm

ohhhh, sounds lovely, jacula.

10:25 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ac 6/21 word please

10:25 pm

Ping - I guess you are not lookingg for theland measure aftert yhe singular 4/5.

10:26 pm

Actually,I need both ac 6/21 words if you have them.

10:26 pm

min, same word I just clued, but add a vowel in middle

10:26 pm

thanks, nrkii -that is the one

10:26 pm

10:27 pm

10:28 pm

I've also lost the p[ower to spell.

10:28 pm

ok do i have this rite?in referencing 6/21 ac means a word starting with ac and worth 21 points??

10:28 pm

minver, no, try this instead: Top card in the deck, plus material for making a can

10:28 pm

just don;t lose your power to vamp mistress!

10:28 pm

with 6 letters

10:29 pm

dbsue, yes, but keep in mind that it's a 6, so the points are multiplied by 3 (ie, 7 points on the tiles x 3 = 21)

10:29 pm

ren, at 8 = lawyer

10:30 pm

uh...i should have known that....

10:30 pm

8's Ren? No chance! Have 'em but to pi**ed to type the m.

10:30 pm

re 8 = modernize or update (compound word, where the second word is 3 letters that mean "in shape")

10:30 pm

ar 6/18?

10:30 pm

lol, ren I didn't even think of that

10:30 pm

Thanks a lot nrkii!Did you go to a special class where they train you how to give perfect clues?Maybe that could be offered in the Babble store for idiots like me

10:31 pm

ar 6/18 is "better with the pastels and oil paints perhaps"

10:31 pm
