12:01 am

i never did finish yesterday's grid - ah well

12:01 am

doesn't look too tough, will see how I do in a half hour...

12:01 am

You're up very late. I thought E was your baby picture, not M.

12:01 am

youre on a roll stid!

12:01 am

This is more like it. I had my lowest score ever today.

12:01 am

ooo, lovely! 80 -- but are they impoossible words???

12:01 am

12:01 am

happy new puzzle everyone!

12:01 am

sorry to hear about u. ed. will you all postpone the trip?

12:01 am

hi nat!

12:01 am

*impossible*

12:02 am

yes, I've become addicted to babble lately and have been staying up late. not good. just changed picture to M a few minutes before you came on

12:02 am

what's the theme today, I need to change my icon

12:02 am

I hope not, but we're going to decide for sure tomorrow. If he goes, we'll probably have to. Can't imagine not making it up there.

12:02 am

No words are ipossible, jilli. I wish I'd stayed hom einsead of going to that meeting tonight, I might have had a chance of finishing. Ah well

12:02 am

i love that picture

12:02 am

He's a cutie head

12:02 am

*impossible

12:03 am

clouds, nat

12:03 am

well, let me know ASAP tomorrow if you can, because I won't make Dan's plane reservation...

12:03 am

hehe, hetty :-D

12:03 am

hmm, ok be back in a min

12:03 am

lol on the cutie head comment

12:03 am

did Norad tell you E probably has eczema?

12:04 am

Dan's plane? Yes on the eczema...ugh.

12:04 am

I've found one word and it'[s a nasty one

12:04 am

yeah, poor thing. ...

12:04 am

sh 4/5, hetty?

tata isn't a word?

12:04 am

Did I not tell you about the "after trip" yet?

past tense nasty - i'm stunned

12:05 am

It was tentative. Sure, now?

12:05 am

That's right, Leslie. Great minds.

12:05 am

satan isn't a word?

12:05 am

satan not in the dictionary???

12:05 am

well, I talked to Dan tonight and he said he can fly down on the 12th after work, and then drive back with us on Saturday. We're going to miss his cousin's wedding.

12:06 am

you took the words out of my mouth - how can that not be a word??

12:06 am

got my new pic, but it might be offensive to some...sorry, just a take on the theme

12:06 am

leslie, I just got your email, which dress did we go with, and why does Joy owe you more?

12:06 am

hey it's not our fault, hetty, you can make it in like 17 different directions

12:06 am

no satan????

12:06 am

But if you all don't make it up, I won't drive down, thus Dan won't need the ticket.....

12:06 am

Good morning all...I see my 2 sisters are on late tonight!!

12:06 am

se 7!

12:06 am

hello, Norad!

12:06 am

12:08 am

12:09 am

nice gold finger, helen

12:09 am

Just started at 10 'til...got 57 or something like that. Esqui and I were chatting about U. Edgar developments (and M's picture, the cutie head).

12:10 am

i think i will go change my icon

12:10 am

btw mg and ambus, I talked to Tony Hutti tonite. He said U edgar will only do 2 dialysis treatments...if that doesn't jump start the kidneys then too bad...

12:10 am

In relative terms, I am ROCKIN' on this grid

12:10 am

i never finished the 262

12:10 am

uh, natalie, i discovered the problem. i sent to your e-mail address @aol.com.

12:11 am

glad to see a smaller number of words for tomorrow

12:11 am

that would be why I didn't get it

12:11 am

ahhh....bummer....

12:11 am

How many, Ambus?

12:11 am

ok i resent it to hotmail

12:11 am

12:11 am

I have 13 words

12:11 am

12:15 am

that's a mighty subtle icon stidmama

12:18 am

Invite Kirsten and kids

12:18 am

I'll still pay for the ticket

12:18 am

she's at the beach

12:18 am

I know, but is was SO COOL that I couldn't resist. It's much nicer bigger.

12:18 am

yeah, but they have already abandoned ship haven't they?

12:19 am

yes, but they still come over. I think she's definitely going to be a "come through the kitchen door" friend.

12:19 am

Still can be friends. How 'bout your favorite G-store checker?

12:19 am

she plopped right down on my sofa the other day, like she lives her

12:19 am

* here

12:19 am

satan not found in the dictionary? huh?

12:19 am

...or Esqui-aunts

12:19 am

lol on the checker. I do self checkout!!! :) I do really like my checker. ;)

12:20 am

how many words in the new grid?

12:20 am

80 today Unicorn

12:20 am

80 little ones, unicorn

12:20 am

there are only 80

12:20 am

all of them are in Portugal, except for Nance. Maybe Nance and M.

12:20 am

...but she doesn't need two tickets, I guess.

12:20 am

38 helen, btw

12:20 am

ty

12:20 am

left or total, stid?

halfway! my cherished goal of mediocrity

12:21 am

don't give up on us yet...

12:21 am

i'm gonna get you - 45 to go

12:21 am

go melon go!

12:21 am

i have 35 left hahahaha

12:21 am

38 left, 42 found

12:21 am

but I don't know about getting people to pay, etc. It's kind of an expensive ticket. Might be nice for me and T to go by ourselves. Maybe I can resell them?

12:21 am

excellent icon helen

12:21 am

lol I have 30

12:21 am

Yes, true, Norad, still hoping.

12:21 am

give me a break - i started 5 minutes ago

12:21 am

phantom: exhaust

12:22 am

you know me....plan for the worst

12:22 am

ty firefly :)

12:22 am

that is cool helen

12:22 am

would it be bad if I didn't go down if he passes?

12:22 am

mine's a little further off the beaten path...

12:23 am

no, it would probably be harder on you...

12:23 am

35 left

12:23 am

remember, I missed U. Eddie and Laura while in Germany

12:23 am

80 words, sometimes those are dangerous!

12:23 am

Norad and I already decided you would not be down for it...we just didn't tell you.

6 Ts - does that beatttttt all? {snarl}

12:24 am

firefly - is that a volcano or a bomb?

12:24 am

oh....well, thanks for making my decision. it's much easier that way. ;)

12:24 am

*tossses chocolate to melonhead* there, there, dear....

12:24 am

that'd be a mushroom cloud - almost went for a volcano, but picked this instead

12:24 am

25 left, but i've hit my wall...

12:24 am

yeah, I think I missed U. Eddie (godfather) and Laura, too. Where the heck was I? No, wait... I think I made Eddie's

12:24 am

dang leslie, I only have 25

12:25 am

I missed U.Eddie; made Laura's.

12:25 am

yeah but you were reading email

12:25 am

didn't really decide exactly, just thought it might be impossible unless you were already on your way down

12:25 am

me too leslie

If you need it, Clues are up!

12:25 am

yeah, but they weren't long emails

12:25 am

let's trade 6's, muse. which do you have?

12:26 am

thanks Lickey! sorry helen, I need clues... brb

12:26 am

12:26 am

No, but logistics would be hard w/o one of us up there and Dan not able to go and stay, right?

12:26 am

haha then the list for me!

12:27 am

it would probably only be me

12:27 am

okay, now I am going to zoom along for a bit. if I finish tonight then I have all tomorrow to read my book...

12:27 am

clues !?!?!?! you don't need no stinkin' clues!

12:27 am

12:30 am

thanks, Norad for all the "clues"! ;)

12:31 am

mg, get off that dirty floor! :)

12:31 am

Actually, I think with the crowd size, it would be less tense than smaller gathering..

12:31 am

yeah, big bro would be too busy making contacts to worry with us...

12:32 am

I have all the A words, 26 to go

12:32 am

12:37 am

He said, "Well, you didn't have a plan, so I made one."

12:39 am

12:39 am

12:40 am

He tried to turn it around and say, "So you don't want me to invite you if they're there?"

12:41 am

I said, no, just make the plan with me, if you are coming to visit me. I'll be happy to include them in OUR plan.

3:06 am

3:06 am

No idea Kier, I have wondered that for ages.

The Inland Revenue and IRS in the States are interested in collecting money in a particular form. The un7/56 is money they can't get at.

3:48 am

Congratulations mrpresident!

3:48 am

Woohoo MrP.

3:49 am

thnx Haz....but still not seeing it...lol....sorry!

3:50 am

wd MrP

Thanks guys!

3:50 am

Remove the last letter from a yellow cab. past tense it, and put un in front.

3:51 am

If you earn money you have to pay ta5/20 on part of it. You can make it p.t too then add the un.

This particular puzzle agreed with me! lots of words from previous puzzles so didn't suffer with a bruised forehead and smudged screen!

3:51 am

IVE GOT IT!!!!!

3:51 am

Haz, I am not well and barely able to do anything for the family... they get great food, I get protein and vitamin suppliments

4:08 am

Ah, so it is food that is good for you, but not really enjoyable. I get the picture!

4:09 am

Haz goes to the list at 55? This does not bode well... how many are we looking for today?

Haz!...I made an educated guess....and got it!!!

4:12 am

80, huh? I guess that's not too bad. althouth it looks like I may be hitting the list as earlier as Haz has

4:13 am

Ah, there must be seafaring blood in your veins, Flask.

4:21 am

4:22 am

Kallia it seems to be around the 50 - 55 mark that most of us have paused for breath and looked for new direction.

4:22 am

ah ok...I will go get coffee and see to my lamb shanks

4:24 am

ahhh, found it - was trying to start it with s** = ocean... but I'm glad it went the other way - I was afraid that lovely s3/8 was going to be left out in the cold!

4:24 am

Verna

4:25 am

Verna thanks Hazon't know how I missed that

4:25 am

Verna - we all miss those sorts of things all the time!

4:30 am

4:31 am

See you in a little while Haz.

4:31 am

There is a un7 which builds off one of the ts. But that is it for the biggies today.

4:32 am

4:33 am

No amanda, thats it :) Hi all!

4:33 am

oh, wait - you meant t's - panic alarm turned off

4:34 am

sorry I meant as in its a un + one of the t's not the ts'

4:35 am

Hi Cat! Lovely icon - I can see the picture in the clouds. So often only the person who discovers the picture can see it

4:36 am

Hi amanda! Thanks, I went looking for a cloud pic, and added cats in the search and found this, it's wonderful isn't it!

4:36 am

Greetings Cat!!

4:36 am

4:43 am

4:51 am

5:12 am

Funny, but it really is an older anglo-saxon word

5:12 am

When I was bratty in school, I would look at some of the histories of our "bluer" words....

5:12 am

Really, interesting! Wonder what it's roots are.

5:13 am

That gives me something to do, research it, since this grid has not taken any amount of time.

5:14 am

Haz, you still here? How are you getting on?

5:14 am

Bill Bryson's 'Mother Tongue' is an interesting read if you're interested in how English has developed.

5:15 am

Here is a tidbit:

5:15 am

Still here, I finished a while ago and am just getting ready to go out. I've put some more stories on BabAnon, if you're interested.

5:15 am

The earliest citation of the anatomical form of the word in the Oxford English Dictionary is a reference to the London street name "Gropecunt Lane" dated to about 1230. The earliest citation of the word applied to a person as a term of vulgar abuse is from 1929

5:15 am

Thanks Haz, I will check at my local library, should be a fun read!

5:16 am

Hello everyone!

5:35 am

Thye have the new Ksaiser off HOmestead and Lawrence, the old one is still off Homestead and Kiley

5:35 am

5:36 am

Hi Al3!

5:36 am

the new Kaiser looks amazing - super high tech!

5:36 am

Hello preethi!

5:36 am

5:37 am

Very hi tech! We took my Mom there for awhile, her oncologist just moved over there.

5:37 am

I have Fireworks! What a relief after the last two days. I got fed up with yesterdays, and just quit!

5:38 am

by 2007, the old Kaiser will be totally phased out. It still comtains some offices, the hospital part, emergency etc.

5:38 am

it is so much easier with the Tile Stats

5:38 am

yay Wren!

5:38 am

Yay. ExWren! $%$%$%$%$% for you! Hooray!

5:38 am

Congrats, Wrennie, and don't worry, yesterday's infuriated me a bit, too!!!!!!

5:39 am

5:39 am

It infuriated me a LOT. I don't think I got a third of the way through

5:40 am

5:42 am

un + something no-one can ever avoid ....

5:42 am

I kept missing wrods in my list. When I refreshed I got 15 of them back. Very strange. Back into the grid

5:43 am

another way of looking at it- His Heart was un***** by the stress test....

5:43 am

Ty, cat, so why aren't 'untax' or 'untaxes' acceptable words then?

5:43 am

Thanks again for sharing with me Ata! Loved the pic's you share with me :) I'm off to bed, bye Ata! Bye everyone!

Hello, all. How come satan isn't a word?

5:43 am

5:43 am

i think their considering it a name

5:43 am

thank you!

5:43 am

bye cat an ty :)

5:43 am

I think because it's Satan, not satan

Grr. It accepts so many other names that I would never consider to be words.

5:44 am

So why aren't 'untax' or 'untaxes' acceptable words then?

5:45 am

got 7/48,,clue for the other 7 plz

5:45 am

I know....My favorite word to gripe about is "unthink". How can you unthink something?

to take away taxes? wouldn't that be "detax"?

5:45 am

5:45 am

and how can you *not* resit something!

5:45 am

undraw is the best though ...

5:46 am

My bad. Do I get a spanking?

5:46 am

But I didn't use one directly though, FMitch!!!!!!!

5:46 am

5:47 am

to be blue + s

5:47 am

5:47 am

5:47 am

ooops to be blue +es

5:47 am

Not in my book, FMitch!!!!!!

6:05 am

that's fine, just was wondering....

6:05 am

or UT + what did you **y?

6:06 am

They tell you how many words come from each tile so you know where to start. The word stats tell you the qty and size of the words. But be aware that as a non pro user they will go after 14 days.

6:06 am

hey why isn't satan included

6:06 am

the first number is the number of letters in the word- the second is the points awarded for the word- go to All you need to Know link below tile stats for an intro to the game....

6:07 am

10:36 am

w00t! fireworks!

katican, plural of preceding sa 4/5

10:37 am

but lickety's page says 4/5, 4/4, and 4/4

10:37 am

anyone need clues before I run some errands?

10:37 am

okay the clue you gave me ..for da6/21 I have had for ages....but am only getting 12 for it!

10:37 am

Haz I've been sending out resumes but I'm actually thinking of packing it up and moving back to Kentucky where my family is.

10:38 am

Well, be sure and keep us posted!

10:38 am

Flask - the da 5 = 12; da 6 = 21...

10:39 am

Flask the 5/12 and 6/21 are the same except of course the 6/21 is plural if it isn't scoring corretly we need to let Dr_G know. One of the other players had a 4/5 score as 4/105 a few days ago

10:39 am

yer right EB....sorry!

10:39 am

I will Haz thanks for asking :)

10:39 am

thanks boston, 14 left

10:39 am

is there only one th word?

10:40 am

yes, just the one th word

10:40 am

Boston it was Shorty and I say heck yeah I'll take all the points I can get but I don't know how that affects everyone elses rankings

thanks haz

so that's why my rating has been going down every day...

can someone reclue the da 5 and 6?

10:41 am

It was a grid last week and I believe the total points in the grid was 3280 and she ended up with like 3440 or something like that

10:41 am

mine too, temple. the more grids i finish, the lower my rating becomes

10:42 am

Temple exactly it's Shortys fault LOL

MVA, it's va + French 'you'

10:42 am

10:42 am

Got it Faerie...19 to go....lolol

11:07 am

Satan is a proper noun

11:07 am

how many t's do you need?

11:07 am

Flask don't forget the irs while doing the t's

11:08 am

11:09 am

11:09 am

11:09 am

a + body of water

11:10 am

Mollusk as + 2nd vowel + 1st vowel

11:10 am

11:10 am

Haz but they are supposed to be 4/5 4/4 & 4/44

11:10 am

A,,,,ocean!

11:10 am

yw

11:20 am

First time I have got them all since becoming a pro

11:20 am

ok...got that Faerie!!!

11:21 am

The problem is that you have to solved the puzzle first! But giving clues is fun.

11:21 am

cool

11:21 am

Excellent Tiny

11:21 am

Katican....you never spoke a truer word.....

11:21 am

Oh shucks we will help you just let us know what you need and we will clue you

11:25 am

11:25 am

faerie i love your icon today!

11:25 am

do you have the 2 ts words

11:25 am

6....s's

11:25 am

Flask - are you using any of the lists for assistance?

11:26 am

Thanks Caitlyn I was going to tell you that your Clouds are just Beautiful

11:26 am

yes

11:26 am

help with ts clues? Anybody?

11:26 am

LOL faerie

11:26 am

no...cos'...I keep getting confused

11:27 am

do you know the hebrew alphabet miller?

11:27 am

ts5/12 - t plus the Marquis de **** - or add a three letter word for unhappy plus a vowel. The ts6/21 is the plural.

11:27 am

Flask you need to use a list so you know which ones don't have yet

11:27 am

t +sa4/5 then plural

11:28 am

I do, Kat. I got them by luck. I wouldn't spell it THAT way!

11:28 am

:)

11:28 am

I need 3 x ta's

11:28 am

I would have put the k sound at the end of the 18th letter.

11:29 am

flask do you have the april 15th words

11:29 am

Flask, if you enter your words into Lickety's list, you will be able to see which ones you are missing. It makes it much easier for those trying to give you clues if they know the position of the word you're looking for.

11:30 am

Flask ta + backwards b + plural letter

11:30 am

I just figured that out yesterday Hazl, it does make it much easier.

11:30 am

is that in the Archives Kat?

11:30 am

ta + cross letter + plural letter

11:30 am

Fireworks!!!!!

11:30 am

Congratulation Millerhead!!!!!!

11:31 am

well miller

11:31 am

I dont think you will find it in the archives

11:31 am

Congratulations Hydra!!!!!!

11:31 am

Flask, click on Lickety's babble clues, under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page. You can type in the words you already have and it will position them for you (miraculously). It will save you a lot of time in the long run.

11:31 am

it is a clue, what has to be done by April 15th

11:31 am

10 to go, and only noontime (here)! I may actually complete this one :)

11:32 am

got some work done, and im back!! 13 words left here...

11:32 am

Flask at the bottom of the page you get Licketys list and minimize it and then pull up Babble again and have 2 windows open and enter the words into both list

11:32 am

Hi Evan

11:32 am

Hi evan

11:33 am

on Licketys list enter them at the top of the page and it will put them exactly where they belong and then you know exatcly what your missing and where

11:33 am

11:34 am

ta4/9

11:34 am

ta4/9

11:34 am

ta4/9 right before ta5/22

11:36 am

Flask if you could give us a list like Evan just did we could help you out a little better

11:39 am

haz, think of an old tv show with yellow cars, only change the last vowel to the first vowel

11:40 am

flask, r u getting it figured out?

11:40 am

am back.......pc crashed....sorry

11:41 am

It's okay, katican - I've finished - I was just letting Evanadine know the position of the missing word.

11:41 am

np flask, did you get into the list

11:41 am

oh, ic haz, sorry

11:41 am

No problem.

11:41 am

I'm getting all caught up in this clue giving :)

11:42 am

but the list confuses me

11:42 am

ok, flask did you go into licketys list?

11:42 am

yes

11:43 am

now at the top of that page you see a box where it says add word?

11:43 am

Can you explain why the list confuses you?

11:44 am

hola all

11:44 am

yes I see that

11:44 am

hola

11:44 am

Hi darkstar

11:44 am

Flask we just want to make the game easier and more fun for you that's all

11:44 am

ok, now put one of the words that you already have into that box and hit add word

11:45 am

Hi darkstar

11:45 am

I know and I appreciate it.....I just feel such a fool.....everyone has finished except me!!

11:45 am

Flask for starters put in all you t's and s's

11:45 am

I'm not done yet, Flask

11:45 am

hi all. What was the total again today? 80?

11:45 am

not everyone flask, did you put a word in the box yet

11:46 am

Flask not everyone has finished Hon there are plenty of people playing that just don't chat with us

11:46 am

80 words today walnutchen.

11:46 am

and it's not really a race; besides, those who do finish early on are very nice and helpful to those of us who take longer

11:46 am

flask just enjoy the game!!! Hi walnut

11:47 am

Flask, after you click add word, scroll down, and you will see that it added that word for you. Continue to add all of the words you have already, and then you will be able to see what you don't have. :)

11:47 am

hi caitlyn, haz... easy puzzle today..

11:48 am

Yes...do you want me to do the rest and then tell you what I haven't got???

11:48 am

yeppers

11:48 am

It's quite a nice grid today - not too many weird words.

11:48 am

ok...I will be as fast as I can....ok?

11:48 am

np, take your time

11:48 am

thanks haz... now I can go on with my day without something hangnig over my head...

11:48 am

take your time Flask

11:49 am

ok Flask

11:49 am

It's not a race, Flask, take your time - there are 12 hours left until the grid changes!

11:49 am

I want to know if Flask is a gal or a guy?

11:49 am

thanks..all of you....back soon!

11:49 am

ok

11:50 am

hello. I am new.

11:50 am

flask, people start at all different times on the grid, so at any given time, you'll see people finished, or just starting, or somewhere in the middle

11:50 am

hi katrine

11:50 am

Hi

11:50 am

I say a girl. (Flask)

11:50 am

hi katrine

11:50 am

Hi Katrine :) Welcome to Babble

11:50 am

Hi Katrine welcome to Babble!!

11:50 am

I don't know Haz????

11:50 am

This is a hard game!

11:51 am

Katrine go the the bottom of the page to Angelsongs Resource page and read a little bit and it will be much easier

11:51 am

brb phone

11:51 am

My reasoning is that a boy wouldn't take the time to persevere with it.

11:51 am

can i have a push with one of the U words? i have one that's like a state, just different last letter

11:52 am

might I request hints for the se5 and sa5, please?

11:52 am

un7/56 - money that the government has not been able to derive income from

11:52 am

Haz -- isn't that being a little broad in your reasoning? :)

11:53 am

oooh, was that a pun GW?

11:53 am

un7/56 un +ta5/22

Finished! =)

11:53 am

I thought that would bring out the men! Hello GreyWoulf. The other thing that struck me was Flask's distress at feeling stupid/slow.

11:53 am

Hi Grey

11:53 am

not that you point it out featherbee, I guess it is!!

11:53 am

ty caitlyn

11:53 am

Yeah for leigh!!!

11:53 am

hehehe, couldn't resist

11:54 am

YW

11:54 am

congrats leigh!

11:54 am

Hi everyone -- jumped on for my lunch break and am down to 25

11:54 am

.. and accepting direction, mend do do that either (LOL). Hi GW good to see you. Hi Haz!!

11:54 am

Yayyyyy for Leigh!!

11:54 am

Hello FMitch!

11:54 am

*men don't do that

11:54 am

Hi FMitch

thank you!!

11:55 am

Hi guys and gals

11:55 am

Hello, FMitch

11:55 am

Oh, we do accept direction, Fmitch -- it just takes about an extra 2 months so we can claim to hae come up with the idea on our own ;D

11:55 am

So, have you had a busy day today, FMitch?

Hello FMitch

11:56 am

what's the other 7 letter word besides the U?

se 7

11:56 am

ty

11:57 am

LOL GW Yup been busy today Haz, thankgoodness it was a short grid today.

no problemo

11:57 am

wee, that was all i needed for that, just got it

11:57 am

same here featherbee -- thanks for asking so I didn't have to!

11:58 am

I've only found a few words. Is there a trick to this?

11:58 am

np GW...also, did you drop the last letter for the 6?

11:58 am

I did now!! ;)

11:58 am

hee

11:59 am

Katrine - it takes some practice, but for pointers look at Angelsong's babble resource page, under Friends of Babble. It should help - along with the clues given by those who have got the words already.

Katrine- Use Lickety's list below the game. It gives you the first two letters of each word, the number of letters in the word, and the point value. It helps.

11:59 am

i can't believe i'm down to 11 and haven't cracked open the list yet

11:59 am

Good evening all

11:59 am

Thank you.

11:59 am

Hi Paddy

11:59 am

Good evening Paddytt.

Hi Paddy

11:59 am

Hi Paddy

12:00 pm

You need to pace yourself, featherbee, or you'll finish too soon!

12:00 pm

Katrine -- the only real trick to this game is to stick it out long enough for the strange to become so commonplace that you overlook the obvious! :D

12:00 pm

2:09 pm

Thank you, Miyavi!

2:09 pm

eek, I'm sorry...>.> it's because the Miyavi_Fan is a lazy child, and in the evenings she says "ahhh, mou~, I am too lazy to babble tonight" and instead talks to her chums on msn xD also, she is referring to herself in third person...which is not good

2:09 pm

Katrine, because the Miyavi_Fan is a silly child, lawl is the equivalent of lol, just said with a ridiculous accent xD

2:16 pm

The angle of inclination from the vertical of a vein, fault, or lode. that's the official "other" meaning

2:42 pm

yes!

2:42 pm

2 tu's

2:42 pm

the 6/33....what you love to do..... + what your body does in the sun

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

pluralize the phamous boy pharoah

not that I can type or anything but I do need to talk to my Babble buddies :)

thanks Katrine

3:05 pm

YW, Mermaid!

3:05 pm

*grins* I need my characters...I'm infatuated with half of them

Katrine, I haven't seen you much... are you new? if so, welcome!

3:06 pm

Yes, I am new and am really glad to have found this site! I LOVE this game!

3:07 pm

The people are great! That's the best part!

Absolutely! It's a wonderful game, endlessly fun... and the people here ROCK! Glad to have you aboard!

3:09 pm

*nods* yes, yes I do rock...and the rest of you aren't that bad either

3:09 pm

TY! :o)))

lol Miyavi... very witty profile... an apt description of me at your age, too... which feels like about 5 minutes ago!

3:11 pm

lmao...thanks ^^ is it impolite to ask your age?

I don't think so... I feel very ancient at the age of twenty-six... just wait til you get there. You start looking at guys and thinking "Oh he's 22... OH MY GOD!"

I'm now older than so many of the celebrities I like!

3:13 pm

8DDD oh, don't worry, I'm naturally attracted to the rich and elderly

LOL... well I'm not nearly as wealthy as I planned to be by this age, but haven't given up yet. If I were paid to play word games, I'd be the richest girl alive.

3:15 pm

You and me both, kiddo!

where in England are you, love? I've spent lots of time in England and Wales...

3:15 pm

^^ well once I marry my rich elderly gent, that can be arranged xD

Have you found this gent yet, or not quite yet?

3:16 pm

moi? I'm just North (or possibly South, I'm really not sure) of London...a little city called St Albans ^^ (aka 'Snorbans', if you're a local)

3:16 pm

well, not yet, but every time I walk past a retirement home I take a good, loooong look in the window

3:17 pm

Is that anywhere near the infamous Bognos Regis?

*Bognor

Sorry...I'm geographically challenged >.> I blame not getting enough iron, that's sure to be it

3:18 pm

peri, take the short name for televisions and add an A for the ta4/7

3:19 pm

for ta4/9, add an A to the end of sales ta*

Well, my gent--who lives at http://www.veryfunny.com--is a professional entertainer and has toured the glorious Butlins, British Holidays, Haven, etc... so I know Bognor/Butlins quite well...

3:19 pm

evening all

3:20 pm

wow...living with a professional entertainer must be fun! All I have is my alter-ego, who is, of course, much better a person than I am...unfortunately, she only emerges at the full moon

3:20 pm

Thanks so much Fran, they were my last two words. I have FIREWORKS!!

3:20 pm

hey, Oggy ^^

3:21 pm

yay peri!!!!

3:21 pm

anyone need any clues before I go?

Living with him is alternately fun, perilous, exciting, and stroke-inducing... I often wake up to find him juggling flaming torches in the middle of the kitchen, or high atop his 12-foot unicycle... so life is never dull, and I love him more than life itself :)

3:22 pm

hi oggy!

3:22 pm

hi fran

3:23 pm

LMAO! aaah, I can very easily seeing myself falling in love with a person like that ^^ if I wasn't reserved for Kyo, of course xD

how long have you been together?

3:24 pm

Okay then, see you all tomorrow

3:24 pm

Well right now, we're in minus numbers...since he is, in fact, over twice my age, does not speak English, and has no idea who I am xD

3:26 pm

bye peri!

lol... sorry to hear that... and forgive me for being an old woman, but you WILL find someone... by the way I can't think of a better excuse to learn a new language! :)

3:26 pm

Bye, Peri!

Miyavi, I'm sorry but I have to run... please say hello when you see me on the log, okay? You definitely rock. Bye!

3:27 pm

*giggles* well, I'm trying to learn...three alphabets is difficult for something with a memory that stinks as much as mine ^^; but Kyo's the dude in my icon xD

3:27 pm

lmao, of course I will! See you later, and sleep well!

3:28 pm

Torgone, I was in your city for a bromeliad conference in early June. The *Marine layer* kept us moist.

3:46 pm

what's bromeliad?

3:47 pm

Now we're sweltering . .

3:47 pm

Bromeliads are the pineapple family, Spansih moss belongs to the group as well. I am working on using my husbands bromlead paintings for my icons, then you will see.

3:48 pm

Very interesting! Really!

3:48 pm

got to go...good luck with the grid!

3:48 pm

Bye- it was great to meet you!

3:49 pm

Looks like we got out just in time...I hate high humidity. We were told that San Diego never goes above 75 degrees. :)

3:49 pm

Buy Katrina.

3:49 pm

bye katrina

3:50 pm

No, I was saying bye to Miyavi...I am here for a while still...lucky you...

3:50 pm

bye miy

3:51 pm

Well, I have to get ready for my volunteer job at Orchestra Hall in downtown Detroit. See you all later.

3:51 pm

bye inge

3:51 pm

bye, Inge

3:51 pm

howdy, y'all

3:52 pm

Hello, Jen

3:52 pm

Anyone still here?....lol

3:53 pm

short grid today -- what a relief from yesterday :)

3:53 pm

it's so quiet

3:53 pm

very quiet

3:54 pm

siesta time...

3:54 pm

my last day of school today -- definitely need a nap!

3:54 pm

Whew! You are a teacher?

3:55 pm

Yes, and I teach at what's called "Enhanced Option" around here, so we go an extra month in the summer. Very relieved to have some time off

3:56 pm

What do you do, Katrine?

3:56 pm

My sister is a teacher- I really admire them; they work so very hard!

3:57 pm

I am a fre-lance writer....mostly free LOL

3:58 pm

how interesting . . . except the free part, maybe? :) It seems that we have many teachers/writers/readers here. Lovers of words, I guess . . .

3:58 pm

I have one book, a romance novel, under my belt...

3:59 pm

what's the title?

3:59 pm

"Angel's Song"

3:59 pm

I'll have to be on the lookout for it -- currently in book stores?

4:00 pm

it's being edited right now...

4:01 pm

that's so interesting . . . how long did it take you to get a publisher interested in your work? I've heard that it's difficult, much like the music industry . . .

4:03 pm

it took a long, long time, and it still isn't 100% sure...they are just telling me that they want to read it and edit for now...very nail-biting!

4:04 pm

I'll send good thoughts your way . . . you'll have to keep all of us in Babblonia updated oh how it's going

4:04 pm

But I got one foot in the door...

4:04 pm

T Y!

4:04 pm

:)

4:05 pm

I only need 2.....am really sorry to bother you all.....

4:05 pm

peri - ta4/9 income *** + first vowel

4:05 pm

go for it, Flask -- that's why we're here . . .

4:05 pm

You are NOT a bother!

4:05 pm

ST4/4.....TA4/9

4:05 pm

what 2

4:06 pm

Flask, st4/4 a doctor will say that he/she needs something st** (quickly)

4:06 pm

st4/4 is on this page, flask! tile st**a! Pass the fish!

4:06 pm

ta 4/9 -- think of something that you hate to pay, and add the first vowel to the end

4:06 pm

that's an 's'

4:07 pm

I'm having problems with the aa -- I know I'm missing something obvious, and my monkeys are getting frustrated

4:07 pm

first ta 5,12?

4:08 pm

oohs and....

4:08 pm

4:08 pm

4:08 pm

ta5/12-- to tease?

4:08 pm

to REALLY tease someone...meanly....

4:09 pm

sorry, wrong clue on my part :)

4:09 pm

the word that comes before it is ta4,4

4:09 pm

st+ first vowel plus "tee" then plural

4:09 pm

ta4/4-- stitches

4:10 pm

no plural- sorry

4:10 pm

I gave you the wrong clue, atropos -- did you get that ta 5/12 from the others, though? Sorry bout that

4:10 pm

look over to the left of this page, flask- the word is written out right there...

4:11 pm

lol nope i am lost ;-)

4:11 pm

st4/4-- probability & st**isics

4:11 pm

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

5:40 pm

Goodnight and godbless all of you!!!

5:40 pm

slap me with a TU4!

5:40 pm

(Flask1 says assuredly in big, bold capitols ... )

ch1212 - i like yours too - mount fuji ?

5:41 pm

Nighty Night Flask-sweet dreams :)

5:41 pm

:) Night Flask -- see you tomorrow

5:41 pm

thanks helen! i like yours too

5:41 pm

My icon is Mt. St. Helens, I thought ... but I could be wrong

bye flask :)

5:41 pm

nice icons, fran & ch1212!

5:41 pm

ooh, ch1212, your picture is beautiful!

5:42 pm

I'm also going to call it a night I'm going to go watch some reruns on TV and turn in early so Happy Babbling everyone Bye (*^_^*)

ch1212 - i was just guessing, i wouldn't really know

5:42 pm

Wow, franmag -- I just read your icon description -- I lived in Kailua as a girl, and remember some spectacular clouds, especially over the Pali

5:42 pm

lib, your's is great too! i love how everyone's take is always different.

bye faeri :)

5:43 pm

ys, interesting theme interpretations! :)

5:43 pm

i havent updated according to theme in a while....wha IS todays theme?

5:43 pm

That's it for me -- anyone need clues before I head out?

5:43 pm

ty, fran

5:43 pm

clouds

5:43 pm

hi ch1212! the NBC station here posts viewers weather shots, there are always beautiful cloud formations. i love kailua, my husband and i would love to live there someday.

evan - ouds

5:44 pm

I lived in Kailua in the late 60's, early 70's, so I am sure it is quite different these days. It was still a small town back then.

5:44 pm

or clouds might be easier to search for evan

bye ch1212 :)

5:45 pm

ch, it still has a small town feel, the residents are pretty careful about keeping it non-commercial

Clues for da 5/12 and da6/21?

LOL fran - uh-huh clouds would be much easier

5:45 pm

Now I'm thinking about that song Clouds from Joni Mitchell ... "it's cloud's illusions I recall, I really don't know clouds at all."

5:46 pm

judy collins?

5:46 pm

we sang that in chorus when i was in junior high!

5:46 pm

for the da 5/12, take your da 4/5 and add an extra beverage in the middle, then change your last vowel to the circle vowel .... the plural for the other

5:46 pm

Judy Collins sang the song too, but I think Joni wrote it.

da 5/12 = previous da, double middle consonant & change vowel on end (& pl)

aren't they the same person ? ;)

5:47 pm

lol helen! lib's going to throw something at you.

5:47 pm

makes sense, ch1212...googling...

5:48 pm

bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air...

5:48 pm

and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way

5:48 pm

and feather canyons everywhere...i've looked at clouds that way

5:48 pm

you are correct, ch1212!

5:49 pm

It was Judy....

5:49 pm

lol, helen!

lib would never throw anything at me - i have been helping lib find 4 letter words all day long! she would be lost without me, but she also wouldn't smell like fish, hehehe

5:49 pm

But now they only block the sun ... they rain and snow on everyone

oh, now you guys are scaring me!!!

5:49 pm

so many things I would have done, but clouds go in the way

5:49 pm

Ismell like tu4/5...

5:49 pm

:D okay, okay ... any last clues needed before I go?

LOL lib - i think it's starting to wear off now :)

5:50 pm

So did Judy sing it and Joni write it????

5:50 pm

so many things I would have done...

5:50 pm

I look at life from both sides now, from up and down, and still somehow.......

5:50 pm

They both recorded it at one time or another, but Judy's was the bigger hit

5:50 pm

... depending on who you ask. Joni fans would tell you her version was the best, of course.

5:51 pm

my SO would be suspicious re: tu4/5 aroma...

5:51 pm

Judy went to my college for a brief time...

5:51 pm

I learned Judy's version on my guitar.

5:51 pm

Wow, katrine925. Her godfather lived here in Idaho, where her grandfather lived too.

5:52 pm

Small world.....

5:52 pm

hi eva!

5:52 pm

saw an amazing retrospective on Bob Dylan on PBs the other night-took me back to being 16 and seeing him perform at Forrest Hills Stadium-now you guys have me time traveling again

5:52 pm

She wrote a beautiful song called "Secret Gardens" and there was a wonderful line: "The Idaho winds blow the topsoil away every Spring..."

5:52 pm

Hi fran!

5:53 pm

Well, hearing no takers for clues, I am signing off. Happy babbling!

i loved judy song about the whales - farewell to tarwathe (sp?)

5:53 pm

I'm done ch, but thanks for the offer

bye ch1212 :)

5:53 pm

bye ch!!

5:54 pm

Bye, 1212! It was nice to meet you!

5:54 pm

hey helen, you jellin'? (by that I mean finished with the grid?)

yep - finished it last night in record time :)

just here to chat & give clues

5:55 pm

good job! my husband took over the computer last night and i couldn't work on it, finished this morning though.

nice, small, easy (with list) grid :)

5:57 pm

i got within 16 words of finishing without the list or clues! i really needed the list for those last one though!

5:57 pm

um--hope as4/4 is not fishy-- enough cologne today!

5:57 pm

Good evening all. 5 more to go. Been in and out today doing major cleaning OUT! ICK!! Can I have some help with the se7?

right, me too, although i went to the list sooner, mid to late 20's

5:57 pm

lib, a + body of water

5:57 pm

the sailors were as**....

hiya musicmom !

5:58 pm

oh, my... so fishy!!!!

5:58 pm

se7 is an instrument sailors used in the old days

5:58 pm

Hi helenkeller.

OMG LIB !!!!!! talk about your fishy !!!!! LOL, no, wait, that's ROFL !!!!!

5:58 pm

it's hot here... brainfry? :-0

5:58 pm

hi musicmom!

5:59 pm

OH MY!!!!! I can't believe I missed that! Thanks.

5:59 pm

Hi Fran

5:59 pm

rofl is right!

5:59 pm

lol lib!

5:59 pm

Very fishy! Filled with fishies!

5:59 pm

I just did a navigational badge with the girl scouts. UGH!

that must be it lib !! cool shower, some nice ice tea perhaps?

5:59 pm

maybe a frosty!

lol music - i think we are so used to having to hunt for the trees, we actually can't see them without the forest

6:00 pm

musicmom, i noticed you teach kindermusik. my kids were going to Music Together, have you heard of it?

6:00 pm

I have heard of it but have never experienced it.

6:01 pm

that's it helen, i think i get all the wierd words first now.

6:01 pm

I love Kindermusik. I was a KM parent first --- Hannah's teacher talked me into getting my license

6:02 pm

Something weird just happened...Red "Profile" words lit up next to your names...why?

6:02 pm

probably similar then, we dance and sing with the teacher and the kids dance and sing along...or not.

6:02 pm

It's very similar. Do you get home materials with each semester?

6:02 pm

oooh, i don't have that katrine!

6:02 pm

And, are parents required to participate.

6:03 pm

yes MM, we get a song book and CDs with all the songs on them...and yes, parents have to participate

6:04 pm

It is similar then. There is also a company called Music Garden. Each company has a slightly different licensure procedure for its teachers.

6:05 pm

i see, i'm glad they're similar then. kindermusic was too far away, but it sounds like they are getting the same kind of exposure to music

6:05 pm

How old are your children?

6:06 pm

my son is 3, he's been going for over a year, my daughter is 1 now and started going when she was 3 months old

6:06 pm

BRB -

6:06 pm

Hi everyone,I'm down to 15 left and due to this lovely shot grid should have time to finish today

6:07 pm

un7/56-- fearing fish...

6:07 pm

6:07 pm

katrine, my screen was loading wrong the other night and i had that red profile thing, you probably need to refresh.

6:07 pm

hi andree! we're here to help if you need clues!

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

*not 'but' - should say 'you'*

6:09 pm

6:09 pm

ha 5/16 - past tense of previous ha

6:09 pm

something rated xxx+ what you get in a lighted booth that makes your skin darker

6:10 pm

I am not very good at clues....

6:10 pm

That is excellent about your children taking class so early Fran. I love my baby classes. I hope no one from home office is a babbler, but I think the choice you made to give them something closer to home so they would have music exposure is great!

6:11 pm

If you all enjoy it. That's a good program.

6:11 pm

that was a fine clue katrine!

6:11 pm

4 left-- only 2 on my list-- must re-copy...

kat - that was a very good clue for the se6/33

6:11 pm

we love it MM, skipped last full semester though, have to get back

lib - i hate when that happens

6:11 pm

Oh! Okay, I am new at this....

6:12 pm

Lots of my families take a semester off here and there. I got the month of June off as a surprise because everyone did that:-P

6:12 pm

I should be teaching again in August and then our full semesters start again in September

6:13 pm

that se6/33 has a medical dictionary link and i didn't look it up, but for our purposes we'll just say it's the result of making whoopee in the outdoors.

6:13 pm

Anyone help with the first da4/6? It's my last, and I just don't see it.

6:13 pm

THANK YOU

6:13 pm

LOL, Fran!

6:13 pm

Okay I have 3 t words left --- all ta --- they are a 5/12,4/5,5/12 series

Anyone looking for a good way to warm up your brain before Babbling, I recommend the games at www.theproblemsite.com. They're quick, and they let you flex your mental muscles a few different ways. I especially recommend the puzzles behind the "Quote Puzzler" link, where you can find my favorites: Word Builder and Top Letters and In-and-Out.

hella stidmama

7:15 pm

It's a monetary unit of Vanuatu, and if you know where that is, you're a better man than I, Gunga Din

7:15 pm

hello, stid!

7:15 pm

hi stid!!!

stid!!!!!

7:15 pm

hi esquian! I finished last night -- anyone need help?

7:15 pm

nrkii -- how's the weather for you today?

7:15 pm

weather is fine so far, but the river has come into town

7:16 pm

I'm too embarrassed to ask! I've missed some really obvious ones....

7:16 pm

still pretty far (8 blocks) from my house, so no worries -- word is that it's crested, and will stay this high till late tonight, then start receding

7:16 pm

nrkii thats not good, you in err pensilvania area???

7:16 pm

oh dear -- I was just reading that some people from Wilkes-Barre were going to go home -- guess the good news is pretty localized still.

7:16 pm

esquian, no worries, ask away

7:17 pm

shadow, I'm in Lambertville, NJ, which is right on the Delaware River across from PA

7:17 pm

esquian i have been fish slapped a couple of times myself today

7:17 pm

Hi, I'm back. Hi, Stidmama, it's nice to meet you. I'm new.

7:18 pm

esquian -- we're all experts at both slapping and being slapped...

7:18 pm

hello Katrine!

7:18 pm

lol

7:18 pm

I feel horrible for the people who are washed out right now, but I have to say, seeing the river going that fast and full of all the trees and stuff, and being that high is pretty fascinating

7:18 pm

ok i saw the news last night that the road has decided to eat cars and trucks and people, we on the otehr hand are desprate for rain

7:18 pm

where are you shadow?

7:19 pm

i live in melb aus so i watch and read international news a fair bit

7:19 pm

lots of roads closed here, yes

7:19 pm

ummm bad

7:19 pm

omg...I'm in DC and we just had two consecutive days of sun. It's a miracle. I guess we can dismantle our ark now.

7:19 pm

but, isn't australia always dry?

7:20 pm

I live about 5 blocks east of the Delaware River, as the crow flies, but the bank is pretty high at end of my street, so you have to go north or south a few more blocks to get to flooded parts of town

7:20 pm

esquian, 2 days of sun here too -- strange to watch the river rising while the sun is shining

7:20 pm

I know, dumb question, there are parts that have forests and snow-covered mountains, too

7:20 pm

esquisian, is that your baby? She is adorable!!!!!

7:21 pm

um in parts stidmama but in the cities its awful dry, some smaller towns are on stage 5 water restrictions which is drastic, we are on stage 2 perminatly so you have to be careful

7:21 pm

*esquian* sorry about the typo.

7:21 pm

Thanks, Shutterbug! Actually, it's my son but he's so bald you can't tell!!! ;) That is one of my favorite pix of him ever.

7:21 pm

for some reason I thought Australia had almost all climates

7:22 pm

not dumb question stidmama, australia is great, i live 1 hr from the mountains the city and the beach

7:22 pm

Oh, I am so sorry. I wasnt sure if it was a boy or a girl, and then I thought that it must be a girl. I know about that though. one of my little sisters was really bald for a long time and people always thought she was a boy.

7:23 pm

sounds like a perfect location, SW, except for the drought part. I will send rainy thoughts to whatever feeds your aquifers...

7:23 pm

my friend is moving from a stage 5 water restriction area to melb were its a stage 2 and our on going joke is ohh ohhh ohhh wet stuff from the sky, talken to running around in the rain

7:23 pm

Really, I'm not offended at all. It's so hard to tell with babies sometimes.

7:23 pm

ooh, gotta go eat dinner now -- happy to have finished early enough to be eating dinner before 9PM!

7:23 pm

later nrkii!

7:23 pm

shadow, I'd send you some of our water, but it's brown and icky and wouldn't be of much use to you

7:23 pm

Bye, nrk!

7:23 pm

7:23 pm

bye, nrkii, adn thanks!

7:24 pm

Yeah, I know. and my brother used to have curly hair so everyone thought he was a girl.

8:04 pm

yay COP!!!!!!

8:04 pm

yes i agree and there are ways to reinterpret the events of her life without the frame of, "she says this, but...." i think the writer must be an academic because her narrative reaked of the "i'm right" attitude

8:04 pm

FranMag..do you get the full effect of those clouds from the ground, or do you have to be looking down on them as in the photo? Very cool.

8:04 pm

8:05 pm

the puzzle won't take "satan", but takes where he lives (Roman version)....

curtsy with big smiles. Thanks.

8:05 pm

ty, ping

8:05 pm

Because I only play once in a great while, and I'm not good enough for a band yet. My violin teacher wants to get me into orchestra with my violin soon though.

8:06 pm

Satan is capitalized

8:06 pm

oops - different definition...

8:06 pm

Hey! I play viola!

8:06 pm

I only play my reed instrument once in a while.

8:06 pm

Hey, thats sooo cool!

8:06 pm

so is that place, but it's a different definition than what I thought

8:07 pm

isn't it greek hell?

8:07 pm

I was in orch from 4th grade all thru HS- won the Nat"l Music Award Senior Year....

8:07 pm

I play organ, piano, violin, recorder, the reed instrument, and a tiny bit of guitar.

8:07 pm

Krista, the words we think should be capitalised always turn out to have some other strange def!!

8:07 pm

or a greek hell?

8:07 pm

that's awesome shutter!

8:07 pm

Probably. I always get them confused.

8:08 pm

Hello Bored86! Welcome back to the grid! Finish yet?

8:17 pm

8:17 pm

hi bored!

the se6 is one less letter

8:17 pm

hi bored

8:17 pm

va + half of what a ballerina might wear, their short skirt is called a t*t*.

8:17 pm

I hope so. and dont worry, I will NEVER stop practicing unless I have to.

8:17 pm

it's a pity, i was really excited to find this site because i love boggle, but there are so many obscure words that i don't have a prayer of finishing so it loses a lot of the thrill

8:17 pm

hase

8:18 pm

katrine, have you ever heard of majesty music or patch the pirate by any chance?

8:18 pm

i'm also going to keep on practicing, but not at the expense of many hours of my precious life

8:18 pm

bored, do you know about the clue lists?

8:18 pm

Good! I am a mom, but I still play- for ME. And all my kids were in band.

8:19 pm

Hi Anniebrook! Welcome to the grid. It's an easy one.

8:19 pm

8:28 pm

Thanks. I'll be there, then. It was nice meeting you all!

8:28 pm

hey they don't count "satan"... all these wierd other language proper nouns and whatever and not that.

8:28 pm

evening all

8:29 pm

yes, there are a lot of words they don't accept- but it gives us something to complain about :)

8:29 pm

hi firefly!

8:29 pm

8:29 pm

Bye!

8:30 pm

8:30 pm

8:31 pm

Hello firefly99! How are you?Welcome to today's grid!

8:39 pm

luce = light

8:59 pm

Thanks Esquian

8:59 pm

9:00 pm

I'd really like to finish this grid. Want to see what those fireworks look like!

9:00 pm

the ut + a tiny word... vowel + consonant

9:00 pm

thanks stid!

9:00 pm

bored, you can get the stats back if you pay a one time payment of $14.95. it used to be $9.95 but then they upped it :(

9:01 pm

9:02 pm

yes i also need t's... and s's, and a's d's c's

9:02 pm

well, paying allows Dr. God to keep the site online, and to buy more bandwidth... I thought it was a good way to repay him for making such a cool game -- and community.

9:03 pm

and no ads

9:03 pm

okay, so you stopped for lunch already? (she inquired like a mother hen) -- the boys and I just finished dinner.

9:03 pm

of course... but just not worth it to me

9:03 pm

true i don't own a putor at home so there is no point for me

9:03 pm

the no ads is a major perk tho

9:03 pm

I guess you are right stid, but right now I dont have the money for it.

9:03 pm

i thank all you sponsors sincerely

9:03 pm

bored a lot of the c words are plurals
