12:19 am

phantom word - verbose

hint?

12:21 am

i think if someone is feeble you should be able to call them a feeb, just like you can call a newbie a noob.

ha6 = mad as a ha**** (7 is pl.)

12:21 am

with a plural of feebs? :)

12:22 am

darn straight

12:22 am

melon - it's also a woman's name & also the name of a golf club - the big be****

hint for be 7/40? i have bo, let me rephrase - o have THE bo 7/44

wow, hk 3 words from one clue - thanky, thanky, thanky

12:23 am

the be 7/40 is the plural of the be 6, which is a word describing a gun from WWII... they called them "Big Be****"s

got it

12:23 am

helen (Hi, Helen) just gave you a hint for that one

12:23 am

12:41 am

12:41 am

U + inverted past tense of having your butt in a seat. It was in yesterday's grid too.

12:41 am

good enough. Thanks brumbjorn.

just one more to halfway - without lickety!

12:42 am

That's all I can do for now. too sleepy to think. 57 to go so I'll see everyone in the morning. happy babbling.

12:42 am

utas = a genus of lizards, it says here

woopsie erda - no spellin' it out.

12:43 am

yes, melon -- just realized that....

12:43 am

hey, she tried.......... it is late...

you're right, joey.

12:45 am

only reason i said that - someone dissed me for a simple mistake and it took me a long time to chat again. we all make them.

Joey's a nice person

12:46 am

thanks, Susan-Victoria. we all need kudos

You deserve it - you stepped up to support somebody who probably felt bad.

12:47 am

had to, been there.. didn't like it

we don't diss - we do remind - nothin' pers'nal. & we all mess up ;)

12:48 am

but melon is good people too, and probably didn't mean to sound like that - it is late.

12:48 am

mistakes happen - everyone makes 'em

12:48 am

awww joey - we're all human (whether some people believe it or not), don't let that kind of stuff bother you

12:48 am

oh, melon, i was dissed badly. hurt

12:48 am

gosh, what a nice group!!!

12:49 am

over it now...

12:49 am

lyes

12:49 am

joey - well, then that person has a problem, not you - oughtn't let it stop you from the fun of chat :)

Actually, I'm mostly a lurker here, but these are nice people.

12:49 am

i agree, but it took a while.

12:50 am

Me too S-V, but everyone seems so nice here.

12:50 am

SV - this is the first time I have seen you out here - thanks for coming

12:50 am

but then, some people should REALLY go to bed... and I am talking about myself

12:52 am

No Helen, it doesn't actually start till after the 4th. I have a reminder set to email me the day it's on.

12:53 am

12:53 am

I didn't see stretches, till you mentioned it, now it's all I can see! LOL

Is it good english to say 'the cabinet has fallen'?

1:29 am

**keeps trying to enter "hatches"**

1:29 am

good night all, happy babbling

probably o.k., Sprite, but it sounds a little stilted...can't think how else to say it...

cabinet has been dissolved probably...or parliament dissolved...

1:31 am

I wondered what the correct term could be. I like 'the parliament dissolved' :) Thanks.

the ob's build on the ve 4 and ve 5

1:40 am

for the Ob6: 1. To turn (something) so as to present another side or aspect to view. 2. To alter the appearance of. Both 7s are build on that.

2:07 am

2:09 am

2:09 am

someone said they had the fe6/33...

Morning - how's the grid?

2:09 am

2:09 am

sorry--you're right

2:10 am

fe6/33= most mad

2:10 am

the last fe alphabetically

Morning!

2:12 am

morning all!

2:12 am

I keep trying Yeshua , but it's a proper noun. Can't seem to get it through my head. Morning all!

2:12 am

angry or crazy-- re: mad?

(hello, is this thing on?)

2:13 am

morning matty and cat

2:14 am

crazy, not angry; sounds like Margana la F**

2:14 am

got fe6/33-- to me it means most effeminate... will google...

2:14 am

Got it,thanks Kate

2:15 am

sorry i didn't answer earlier recovery efforts im maning the desk

2:15 am

I have FIREWORkS!!!!

2:16 am

yay Kat!

2:16 am

congradulations!!!!

2:16 am

YAY! Man I'm slow at this...

How's the grid (tap-tap)?

2:16 am

This is the funnest game I ever played!!!!

2:17 am

interesting my minds only about half on it though

2:17 am

not toooo bad so far

2:17 am

googled root word for fe6/33-- surprised that 1st def was otherworldly!

2:17 am

hmmm, won't allow bosc, I know it as a type of pear.

2:18 am

so, fe6/33-- most otherworldly!

2:19 am

bosc may be a proper name-- blast Enable!

2:19 am

I know, I'm going to check google and see.

2:19 am

There's a word that is NOT in the dictionary- of4/9- rhymes with the beginning of our National Anthem....

2:20 am

bosc is a type of pear I thought...

2:20 am

anyone have the be 7/40?

2:20 am

bosc is a Brand of pear, not a type of pear

2:20 am

Guess it is, here is what I found...The Bosc is native to Belgium and has distinctive, thick, brown to yellow-brown, non-shiny russet skin. This pear has an obvious neck and distinctly

2:21 am

be 7=woman's name in the plural--name for a gun or gold club

2:21 am

(sorry, work at a grocery store, need to know these things)

2:21 am

hmmm, so it's a proper noun, cat?

2:21 am

golf not gold LOL

2:21 am

begins with Jesus' birthplace....

2:21 am

ty for your research, cat! :)

2:22 am

Looks that way Lib. Thanks knut :)

2:22 am

katrine -- you're a wonder, finishing so soon! And thaks for the of** -- there are many like that, not in the dic, groan

2:22 am

got it - ty

2:22 am

you're welcome, cat, liba

2:23 am

a region defines a brand-- I think not!

2:23 am

T Y & Y W!!!!!

2:24 am

just dropped in to see what the grid is like today!!! PH MY . how's everyone else getting on with it. Morning all fallow babblions

2:24 am

the region is probably the proper noun...

2:24 am

Must bre Lib, but I swear I have seen them advertised in the paper as bosc, not proper.

2:25 am

crest

2:25 am

yikes, sorry!!!

2:25 am

yes, cat, me too!

2:26 am

Oh well, enable won't allow it either way :)

2:26 am

sorry, liba we have bosc pears that look just like bosc pears but are not called bosc pears. they have a different PLU number and everything. The Bosc name on the pear is the brand of pear.

2:26 am

bosc is not a company name or brand!

2:27 am

*digs out her canning books* bosc is not capitalized in my books... hrm...

2:27 am

a company took the name of a region where those pears are grown?

2:27 am

how awful!

2:27 am

ty, brumb!!!

2:28 am

I want to repeat what I said earlier- there is a word that is NOT in the Enable Dictionary- it's of4/9 and rhymes with the beginning of the National Anthem....

2:28 am

hmmm...

2:28 am

ty Kat

2:29 am

I'm not gonna argue about it. Tired, sleepy, and who knows, working in the grocery industry for so many years could have just brainwashed me.

2:29 am

I don't believe everything I read on fruit tags...

2:30 am

Didn't I red somewhere that they are trying to brand "Feta" as only being produced in Greece?

2:30 am

proper name of the fruit is Bosc pear, the generic name is pear. Bosc being a proper descriptive word, won't work in the puzzle. Proper noun and all, is all.

2:30 am

that of4/9 katrine refers to is in the dictionary when you click on the question mark, and it's a disparaging term for a while person

2:30 am

could be-- Feta but cheese could stll be called feta...

2:30 am

actually the "of" word is in the standard dictionary--is slang for a white person

2:31 am

yes--to treat the word feta like the word champagne

2:31 am

got that-- I'm the white half of a zebra! :D

2:31 am

TY for clearing that up for me...I couldn't find it on Lickety's A-Z list....

2:32 am

exactly, kateq!

2:32 am

well, goodnight, everyone!! I'm finished and apparently too tired to hold a conversation. :-P~ Have fun, its a great puzzle!

2:33 am

Amazing, knut, and congrats!

2:33 am

any1 need clues for the wa7/52?

2:34 am

it is a plural of the 5/22 - something you wear on your wrist

2:34 am

2:34 am

D'oh -misread Unicorns comment. I think I should hit the sack soon.

2:34 am

2:37 am

2:47 am

Ah, they're all emerging now!

2:47 am

2:47 am

Hi Ata ! Hi Trouble :) That is Trouble, correct?

2:48 am

that;s trouble ... except I've changed him now, so refresh :)

2:50 am

Awww! What a cutie! Looks like my Peanut!

2:51 am

Wonderful, the of4/9 babblet is there.

2:51 am

ZZZZZZZZ Good-night, England+ all other friends overseas....It's a great puzzle! *POOF*

2:51 am

that's *my* baby :)

2:51 am

All you cat people -- if you haven't seen the 16 haikus, let me know your email addresses (mine is in the profle) and I'll send them -- they're right on!

2:52 am

Peanut, or Peanutty as I call her, has a little peanut shaped beige spot on top of her head, and when I first got her, I'd say, aww, looks like you have a peanut on your head! :) Thats how she was named Peanut!

2:52 am

I haven't seen them jilli, please email to me :) My email should be in my profile, I added it earlier, thank you!

2:52 am

Sily should really be called Diamond - she has this unique little diamond in pale fur on her back

2:54 am

I don't know how it is with you Ata, but most of mine got their names by what first popped out of my mouth when I saw them, or spent some time with them. I have one names Pester, or the Pestmeister, can ya guess why? LOL Another names Squishy, when I first found her, I said, Ohh whata cute little squishy face! lol

2:56 am

One named Booger, lol. Was so funny when the vet would come out and say, I'll see Booger Johnston now, all you would hear is titters from the gallery lol

2:56 am

I either put a lot of thought into it, or no thought whatsoever. My ginger cat was Gingernut lol. But Sily is Silverclaw, which is another name for Titania, queen of the fairies. It just seemed to suit her!

2:56 am

It does suit her! Beautiful name for a beautiful feline!

2:57 am

Gingernut, LOL Thats cute!

2:57 am

Great cat names :)

2:58 am

lol my cats name is mouse

2:58 am

Booger was aptly named because he was such a little Booger. My Son nmaed him smokey, but I called him little booger so much, that it took and now thats what evceryone calls the little booger :)

2:58 am

Thanks brum :)

2:58 am

mornin peeps :) how is our cubed friend this morning??

2:58 am

Cat9x, I just emailed the haikus to you

2:58 am

LOL Unicorn, thats so cute!

2:58 am

he's ll fuzzy grey and kinda looks like a really big one about 12 times the size though LOL

2:58 am

awww :) Sounds adorable!

2:59 am

thanks jilli! I'll go read now :)

2:59 am

have any of you cat people any suggestions on how to keep my neighbours cats out of my garden.

2:59 am

love that Mouse cat, unicorn!

2:59 am

my neibers kept wondering why we were calling a mouse LOL

3:00 am

*refresh for cute kit pic*

3:00 am

ive heard... several things but it depends on the type of things grown and the cats individual tastes

3:00 am

Hmmmm, don't have a garden? Sorry lol No idea, short of caging in the garden. My Cats are all indoor animals, so I have no dealings with anything like that.

3:01 am

Candy - is there not some sort of sonar device that you can buy? It emits a noise that humans can't hear but which cats detest.

3:01 am

Oh Ata that is my favorite by far!!! How precious!!

3:01 am

back for a sec-- plant catnip outside of garden-- cats will go there...

3:01 am

spicy things... hot souaces work and dont harm plants... or so ive heard i've never tried it in the garden i do know it get's 90% of animals from chewing on things though

3:01 am

I though red pepper on the dirt helped...

3:02 am

she was tiny there!

3:02 am

and enjoy themselves...

3:03 am

Awww :) What a sweet picture :)

3:03 am

cats are better distracted than deterred...

3:03 am

True Lib! Plant catnip, they will alllllll converge there :)

3:03 am

I haven't heard of that Haz. I have spent a fortune on all sorts of sprays and repellents and none of them seem to work. I am sick clearing up after someone elses pets now that I don't have one of my own.

3:04 am

Invite the cats in! Thy're so ornery they will go away LOL

3:04 am

lol, cat9x... cat rugs!

3:04 am

I've seen them advertised in the paper - not sure if they're available in the shops.

3:04 am

I will have to look for that device on my next shopping trip

3:04 am

It's the owners fault Candy. Mine may miss out on running wild, but they live longer, and want for nothing.

3:04 am

LOL, thats what it would be too Lib! LOL

3:05 am

McFetridges would have had them, Candy!

3:05 am

lol, cat9x, et al & nite :)

3:05 am

Try Googling it too Candy, may find some good ideas out there that don't harm the animals.

3:05 am

or you could just (shudder) get a dog...

3:05 am

LOL

3:05 am

Nite nite Lib! Sleep well!

3:06 am

Cat9x - she assured me they were never out and litter trained when she moved in. But they are now running wild. All the neighbours are complaining. AND there is 7 of them!

3:07 am

Dump all the stuff back on her front door step!

3:07 am

nite, lib. Time for me too. I WILL NOT stay up so late again. No, I won't...

3:07 am

lol haz

3:07 am

She lied I guess, bad for the kittys :( They may very well be litter trained, but if left outside, they make their own litter box's. Unfortunately the cats pay for the owners stupidity and neglect.

3:08 am

I haven't got to read it yet jilli, but I will, and thanks for sharing with me!

3:08 am

Waddaya mean, unicorn, about (shuddr), get a dog? See my icon?

3:08 am

Waddaya mean, unicorn, about (shuddr), get a dog? See my icon?

3:08 am

Hello everyone! Good Morning

3:08 am

I'm laughing to myself - my dog was the best deterrent so far but sadly she died in October and I have been unable to replace her. My neighbour scoops everything up and throws it over her fence but she hasn't taken the hint

3:09 am

Good morning, Preethi, and welcome to this catty conversation

3:09 am

Good morning Preethi.

3:09 am

I'm sorry to hear that Candy, how sad :(

3:10 am

Good morning Preethi

3:10 am

Candy, I know too well how hard itis to lose a dog

3:10 am

Hi CAt, Haz, Jilibus

3:10 am

Hows the grid today'?

3:10 am

grr... anyone got the first bo 5/18?

3:11 am

Candy - I can understand why you're so fed up if there are 7 to clear up after. Maybe hints are not enough any more. If the neighbour is careless about the toilet habits, maybe there's going to be a population explosion as well.....

3:11 am

So far so good Preethi

3:11 am

bo5/18 means to do something badly

3:12 am

Oh right Haz, I so hope they have been nuetered and spayed, oh my!

3:12 am

But it may not be the first one.

3:12 am

It's the hardest thing I have ever coped with in my life, but at least I can talk about her now without crying

3:12 am

got that one - the other 5/18 then

3:12 am

190 words, not too bad I guess, but we've been diverted...sorry, brumbjorn, no bo5/18 from me

3:13 am

bo5/18 is to make a mess of something. To do a job badly.

3:13 am

bo5/18 - a term used by the french for Germans

3:13 am

bo5 same as 2nd minus the t + 2nd vowel at the end

3:13 am

Hi Hydra

3:14 am

And it can be pluralised

3:14 am

Hi Preethi. I see I gave a clue to the wrong one. Never mind. How is everyone today?

3:14 am

Jilli, I love those!! LOLOL especially the last 3!! Thank you so much for sharing, I have to pass this on to some friends :)

3:14 am

back to work - chat later

3:14 am

bye Candy

3:14 am

Bye candy. Have a good day.

3:15 am

sorry

3:16 am

Thanks Hydra, I wish it was :) I googled cloud formations cats and found that.

3:17 am

I had to look twice to see the cats in the clouds. My mum always used to point out animals in the clouds. Seals, whales, it was great.

3:17 am

Glad you enjoyed the haikus, cat. And unicorn, glad you have danes and those other wee people. Give them a scratch behind the ears form 'dogmother" (me)

3:17 am

As a child I did the same :) It's wonderful what you can see in the clouds at times

3:18 am

All I can see right now over London is blue sky and swifts.

3:18 am

3:18 am

just shorter then your clues haz

3:39 am

The be4/7 - can never read about her death in Little Women without shedding a tear or two

3:39 am

I agree Haz, same here.

3:40 am

I have not long re-read that Haz...the whole series for my reading group...

This grid looks nasty - Anyone agree?

3:40 am

Matthew's death in the Anne of Green Gables books has the same effect.

3:41 am

its ok, lickety!

3:41 am

morning lickety...so far so good

3:41 am

Good evening lickety! I think the grid is quite nice so far.

3:41 am

Hi Lickety! Not too bad :)

No letter N

3:43 am

What word are you dying to make that needs the letter n?

3:43 am

any help with 4th 8 please? have 2 c and s

nothing ;-)

3:44 am

wa8/80, what you wear on your wrist plus one of your orb's that see's :)

3:45 am

well!! thank you Cat dont think I would have tried that :)

3:45 am

Thanks for that, Cat. What a strange word!

3:45 am

You're welcome, very strange indeed!

3:45 am

means walleye...especially in dogs

3:46 am

Someone clued it earlier, I wouldn't have gotten it either on my own.

3:48 am

Ok everyone, i had better get going! Happy Babbling, and good luck with this grid!!(:

3:48 am

Thanks, bye Jemma!

3:48 am

Thanks Jemma - have a good evening.

3:49 am

yw, bye!(:

3:50 am

Hmmm, wonder what could have possibly made me think Feeb was a word? lol

3:51 am

Where have I heard or seen that before, I wonder.

3:56 am

Meet the Feebles? A feeble dweeb = feeb? "Ewwww, Mo-o-om, he's such a *feeeb*!"

3:57 am

The Carnivores Association would say that it's a condition directly attributed to a failure to eat be4/9

3:58 am

hello all!

3:58 am

Thats it!!! feeb=dweeb! A Feeb! Oh my, have I been around adolescents too much? LOL

3:59 am

Hello FranMag.

3:59 am

thanks for that wa8, i had two other 8s, but not that one.

3:59 am

Ahhh, missed that one Haz, thanks!

3:59 am

Hey Fran!

3:59 am

hi cat!

3:59 am

And don't forget the adjective Cat.

3:59 am

Hi Fran!

4:00 am

hi amanda!

4:00 am

Thanks Haz! :)

4:00 am

hi haz! i always like seeing your icon.

4:01 am

Thanks Fran - I have the live version lying beside me!

4:01 am

that's sweet!

4:02 am

i assume everyone has the ch8 and sh8?

4:03 am

I do but can't speak for everyone else.

4:04 am

I've got those two, it's the other c8 that is eluding me - and I'm sure I'm going to want to wallop myself with the fish when you clue me for it....

4:04 am

I'm not here - I went to bed, but I only have one ch8 and no sh8

4:04 am

It's an adverb for ch6/24 - think purity and innocence

4:05 am

Someone needs to tell jillibus that there's somebody impersonating her - but wait, she's asleep.....

4:05 am

sh8 - change the first letter of your talkative ch8

4:05 am

thanks haz! got two out of that

4:06 am

Thanks Haz - a mid-size wallop for that one. Jilli is sleep-babbling!

4:06 am

jilli, sh8, what happens when a mirror breaks into a zillion pieces, it sh******, plural of sh7/32

4:06 am

LOL, Hazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

4:06 am

oh no, jilli is babbling in her sleep now!!

4:06 am

Thx, gang. I'm really trying to go to bed! But you know how it is...

4:07 am

that wa8 was my last w also!! i've been trying to gray that one out.

4:07 am

Yes I know jilli, you lie there, and words are forming in your brain, you must get up and release them!

4:08 am

too true -- it really does happen!

4:08 am

I know :)

4:10 am

Shalom All

4:10 am

hi ARB

4:10 am

ARB - good morning to you.

4:10 am

Hi ARB!

4:10 am

hi ARB

4:11 am

Hi hi hi -- nice board

4:11 am

and I'm GONE -- really and truly -- NO MORE tonight, um, this morning, ugh. TTFN and thx.

4:11 am

Sleep well, jillibus!

4:12 am

Sleep well Jilli!

4:13 am

sombabbulate - that's the word I've been trying to put together. What Jilli's doing!

4:13 am

night jilli!

4:14 am

that's a great word amandacath!!

4:14 am

That sounds as viable a word as some we've had, amanda!

4:18 am

I love making up words - I wish enable would appreciate it!

4:23 am

How many words were there again?

4:24 am

190 amanda

4:24 am

190???

4:25 am

Not what you wanted to hear, suki?

4:26 am

Sure

4:26 am

I was hoping I'd gotten the numbers turned around - I'm at 109...and seeing the notorious brick wall

4:26 am

Morning all Just found the strangest word sc5/22 & pl6/36

4:27 am

Morning FM! :)

4:27 am

that should be and its pl sc6/36

4:28 am

Hi Cat

4:28 am

Isn't it FM!! odd word/s, all those consonants, one vowel, odd words

4:29 am

Only found it through the points count, would never have thought to monkey type it.

4:30 am

just found it after you asked, it's an upside-down e used in pronunciation keys in dictionarys

4:31 am

Hi Mitch! Had that one - my German has prompted me to try every possible sch combo - only one I've found so far...

4:31 am

it's the e sound in words like father i think

4:31 am

Remembered it once you gave the definition, Franmag - it's been in before.

4:32 am

Morning Haz

4:32 am

i knew the word, but would never have seen it without the letter and point counts!!

4:32 am

Good morning FMItch. It's a fun grid today, isn't it?

4:33 am

YEs, some great words and a few nice runs too.

4:35 am

just found a strange one, although I think we've had it before - b5/18 french disparaging term for Germans

4:36 am

Yes, we were talking about it earlier - the plural is there too.

4:36 am

Do children still use sa7/36 to carry their books to school?

4:37 am

It's all gym bags these days. No leather bags/briefcases any more.

4:38 am

nowadays FMitch they are more likely to use rolling luggage with someone like the wiggles or dora the explorer

4:38 am

ooo, thanks Haz, would have kicked myself for not pluralizing, and Mitch - had tried to find that but was going the wrong way

4:38 am

Yes, more than likely Fran and Haz. yw amanda

4:39 am

Have you got the of4/9 - it's a while since it's been in the grid.

4:39 am

what does that one mean haz?

4:40 am

I do but I have to admit got it from a clue earlier this morning

4:40 am

monkeyed that one on the vague shimmer that I might possibly have seen it before

4:40 am

It's used as a disparaging term for a white person, but I like to think of it as what King Kong would have said to Miss Wray, the actress.

4:41 am

LOL

4:41 am

pavlovian babble reactions - you say "disparaging term for white people", I look for haoli

4:41 am

enable seems to have a lot of disparaging words for racial groups, like the hawaiian haole

4:42 am

...or was it haole?

4:42 am

haole - it's the one we miss every time it's in the grid.

4:42 am

Ugh, that one always catches me out.

4:43 am

ends with an E amanda, people pronounce it (incorrectly) like it's spelled with an i.

4:43 am

One we haven't seen for ages now is the lipstick tree and it's 3 variant sp.

4:44 am

Too funny, Mitch! I was thinking about that the other day - I think there was a grid with almost the right letters for it

4:45 am

what is that word FMitch?

4:45 am

stupid tree! and the volcano hasn't been around for a grid or two ...

4:45 am

anatto, annatto(s) and arnatto

4:46 am

Hey Atalante, at lest the ceese is back today.

4:46 am

*cheese

4:46 am

And in force.

4:46 am

is the other spelling ever used? achiote

4:47 am

Hi, all__I was thinking about the tree, too, and how I almost never get it!

4:47 am

and the foot-digit-babblet, not to forget!

4:47 am

Good morning pam!

4:47 am

Hi Pam

4:47 am

No reason why not Fran as it cross refs to anatto in the dic. Hi Pam

4:48 am

FMitch - you realise that Pam was one of Mikey's fans?

4:48 am

LOLOL

4:48 am

hi pam!

4:48 am

***hmmmmmm?******

4:48 am

good morning everybody:)

4:49 am

Good morning jean - how are you?

4:49 am

hi jean!

4:49 am

im fine thanx haz, how are you?

4:49 am

ja!!! LOL Hi jean

4:49 am

Poor Mikey....

4:50 am

Hi Jean

4:50 am

I'm fine - the sun is trying to peek through and it's a nice grid.

4:50 am

its still a bit overcast here in somerset haz and only just started on the grid but seems to be a good one

4:51 am

Poor Mikey, my foot!

4:51 am

It's good fun jean. We were reminiscing about babblets - and a babbler.

4:51 am

lol sounds interesting

4:52 am

One of the few days I don't babble and something exciting happens - somehow I missed the day that Mikey had his little fit - still haven't quite figured out exactly what happened...

4:53 am

mikey got a little upset ...

4:53 am

Who wants to tell the story?

4:53 am

(Atalante made him very cross)

4:54 am

*looks innocent* it was that kid! what was his name? noble something?

4:55 am

Noblelover - or Nobleloser as Mikey renamed him started the whole thing off by accusing Mikey of being a show-off. He objected to Mikey writing in German to other people. Cue fireworks.

4:55 am

done haz?

4:56 am

I was waiting for someone else to take up the tale, but will I continue?

4:56 am

oh, do, Haz...

4:56 am

please do!

4:57 am

go for it! and that was fireworks as in ker-pow bang not finished ... I think?

4:57 am

oh, i thought you were cuing your own fireworks, please go on!

4:57 am

was this recently?

4:58 am

Mikey was *highly' indignant as he felt that this was a very ordinary thing. He was still indignant the next day and brought the subject up again. He didn't receive the support he expected and we were all roundly condemned as being intolerant etc.

4:58 am

This all happened a while ago - can't remember the exact date.

4:59 am

oh right I do remember that now

4:59 am

someone said before that it was May 9th or 6th i think

4:59 am

So, now he no longer *peeks in to see what is happening*

4:59 am

quite a while ago now

5:00 am

It's been over a month or so ago. When I first heard that he'd flamed off (bad pun!) I was afraid I was the cause - I'd said something about "some ballet dancers being a bit thick" before he had logged on one day and was afraid he's gone back through the log and seen it

5:00 am

i never knew what had happened just knew that something had and that he wasnt in the chat log thanx

5:01 am

it was all very silly really. I don't think he could understand that some people being a little unhappy about the log going off into german constantly was more of a reflection of wanting everyone to understand the chat rather than a personal attack on him ...

5:01 am

No - it wasn't your fault amanda.

5:01 am

that was lost on him, atalante

5:02 am

I figured that out a few days later - having not been around the day that he bailed, I was imagining the possible scenarios - they were numerous!

5:03 am

Atalante did a fine job of trying to explain a different point of view to him, but he was not to be reasoned with.

5:03 am

me also amanda

5:04 am

and managed to make things worse I think *sigh*

5:06 am

the ha6/21 (first one) sounds like 'mini haz'

5:06 am

awwww! minihaz!

5:07 am

Oh well, at least we won't all be bothered with - ooo, thanks Fran! - being on Mikey's mailing list for silly e-mails!

5:07 am

I'm small enough already!

5:07 am

well, enable has a smaller version of you!! lol

5:08 am

and it such a visceral word...

5:09 am

i always wondered what happened with the Mikey thing. i didn't even know who he was. some other babblers seemed to think it was because someone made fun of the way he was spelling the German words!

5:09 am

What a time for me to get stuck on a phone call but back now.

5:09 am

He seems to be quite an inflammatory character :)

5:10 am

wb fmitch

5:10 am

I think he had a hair across his a*se (english bum) and I can't believe I did not play ehen he was around but I had ZERO tolerance for him

5:10 am

No - his German was okay. He would have been okay in very small doses but he began to make a nuisance of himself on the chat log and was incredibly needy - always having to be acknowledged etc.

5:11 am

and he always wanted to chat on IM. constantly

5:11 am

and was too obassed with showing everyone his chest hair!

5:11 am

what????

5:12 am

OMY that day when his icon wasonly chest hair was gross

5:12 am

sorry to but in but how old was he??

5:12 am

He was in his mid-30's I think.

5:12 am

I always find it annoying when people live up to cliches...believe it or not, marso, he was an adult

5:12 am

I know!! and I *like* chest hair! but that was too too much!

5:12 am

...still is, I'm assuming

5:13 am

Awww, I just found the mini Haz :) And found dance from the 70's, good old disco!

5:13 am

oh dear i was saved the chest hair experience lol

5:13 am

5:13 am

5:13 am

5:17 am

LOL Jean

5:17 am

Disco was great! Great in the dancing part, loved to dance to disco!

5:18 am

(striking John Travolta pose) :)

not crazy about 'this' particular song, but when i hear a good one come on the radio, i get all excited and chair dance (in the car) :)

5:18 am

Cue the Bee Gees and Saturday Night Fever.....

5:18 am

5:18 am

5:19 am

Saturday Night Fever, one of my fav movies :)

All that hair.

5:19 am

Barry was a cutie wasn't he :)

Grease! my favourite of all time!

5:19 am

5:20 am

I still remember all the guys in the bars, that hair, open shirts to the waist and gold chains LOL

5:20 am

Travolta WAS hot back then Fran :)

5:20 am

just watched Grease on TV the other day, i still love it.

5:21 am

5:21 am

love love Grease!

5:22 am

He sure was Jean! Yummy!

ahhhh the good ole days. late 70s... newly a teenager, i was innocent, the world was a lot more innocent (seems to me) in some aspects... kinda miss those times

5:22 am

when they re-released for the 20th anniversary, my best guy friend and I went and sang every song, it was so fun.

5:23 am

Was a LOT more innocent then, even though at the time, we thought it was wild :)

5:23 am

*singing you're the one that I want, oo-oo-oo baby*

5:23 am

Sounds like loads of fun Fran :)

5:24 am

Hey, remember KC and The Sunshine Band?

5:24 am

summer lovin is always a favorite at karaoke

5:24 am

Oh Cat - I do!!!!

5:24 am

Thats the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it! God I loved that song :)

5:24 am

of course cat! just downloaded boogie shoes for a wedding the other day.

where can I find a copy of 'you're the one that I want'.... I have to listen to it!!

5:25 am

oooo - I thought KC was hot! Don't remember why, 'cept that I was a young teenager (which explains many things)

5:25 am

Boogie Shoes, great song!

5:25 am

...like the Bay City Rollers

5:25 am

I thought he was hot too, geesh, I guess I thought they were all hot :)

5:26 am

have you tried limewire you can download loads of songs on that site mrp

5:26 am

amanda, i thought so too, but when he made a small comeback in the 90s he had gained about 40 pounds and lost his hair!

5:26 am

I download off Limewire all the time Jean

thanks jean!

is limewire free?

5:27 am

dont go limewire,,,it killed my pc...sorry jean ,,try torrentspy

5:27 am

that's frightening, Fran! Sort of like Simon LeBon - DuranDuran's comeback last year was gruesome!

5:27 am

Bay City Rollers!!! those were the pinup boys when i was in junior high

5:27 am

apparently Grease was the first film I ever went to see. I was 2 or something and danced in the aisles much to my mother's eternal embarrassment

5:27 am

its great cat my daughter uses it and downloads for me, yes saint i do believe its free

5:27 am

The absolute BEST disco song to dance to, was Brick House, remember that one?

5:27 am

i'll still listen to them, just don't have to watch any more!!

5:27 am

Yes it is free, they have pro you can buy too if you'd like.

5:27 am

Hi Im back!!

5:27 am

thanx for the tip marso we have'nt had a problem yet but its always useful to know

i saw Simon in a hotel lobby in SF about 7 years ago. he is Tall! but he wasn't looking so great... that rocker lifestyle takes a toll on those dudes!

5:28 am

at 18 words. How many words in the grid today?

5:28 am

Brick House is the best!!

190

5:28 am

*she's a bríck...house...* here's another frightening thought - Billy Idol is on tour

5:28 am

Yes it is Fran!

5:28 am

hi preethi!!

5:28 am

Hi Preethi

5:28 am

190 words today Preethi - I'm taking a break while the rest of the babblers disco dance around the room. Back shortly!

5:29 am

White Wedding? I loved him too, very raw!

5:29 am

that is scary amanda! he didn't look all that great when he was 20 years younger!

5:29 am

HI again Cat, Hi Fran

5:29 am

he was great in the Wedding Singer though!

5:30 am

later haz!

5:30 am

Billy was great back then - but I caught an MTV unplugged of him a while ago...Billy Idol and his paunch in a hawaiian shirt in a bar ... a bit disconcerting!

5:31 am

like SaintFranny said, that life takes a toll!

5:32 am

It does, it does - but then look at David Bowie! Still one of the hottest hotties ever made!

5:32 am

all this talk of music may just have to put some on lol feel like listening to rush at the moment

5:33 am

Makes ya wanna dance huh Jean? :)

5:33 am

mmmmmmmm Bowie!

5:33 am

yes amanda, but has he fixed his teeth yet?

5:34 am

Oh good idea, jean! I'm house- and cat-sitting for a friend who has a real liking for 70's music. Must go have a look at her collection!

5:34 am

ooh jean, tom sawyer.

5:34 am

I agree amandacath he can still pull off a good show I saw him in his ziggy stardust days and more recently and he still rocks

5:34 am

I think he has, Fran - at least somewhat. He can't make them perfect, though - they're part of the Bowie image

5:35 am

one of my favourite tracks franmag along with force ten I saw them two years ago in birmingham they were brilliant yet again

5:35 am

Must go and run some errands, Happy Babbling BBL

5:35 am

bye fmitch have a good day

5:35 am

Bye FM!

5:36 am

5:36 am

bye Fmitch!

5:39 am

i must away now hopefully bbl before I go to work have a good day everybody:)

5:39 am

5:47 am

Have that

I got all the v's! (I hate v words)!

5:48 am

yay mrp!

I am blind to the w8... is it a compound word??

5:48 am

I kind of like v words - they're generally at least something you've heard of, not like K-words!

5:49 am

yes mrp, odd odd word

5:49 am

a very odd compound word mrp.

5:49 am

think of a time telling orb :)

5:50 am

FIREWORKS, finally

5:50 am

Yay ARB!

5:50 am

yay arb!!!

5:50 am

yay ARB!!!

5:50 am

the w8 made me think of Big Brother - Orwell, not the TV show

ARB gets *~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

5:50 am

lol

5:51 am

found your w, Cat? I'm missing one as well...

5:51 am

TY one and all. MrP the wa 8 is a compound word of wa--- + e4/6 without the plural

5:51 am

amanda, 9 WAs and 4 WHs

5:51 am

not yet, I always come down to one small word and it escapes me. I should get it easily, mnaybe my brain is asleep :)

5:52 am

ok, that narrows it down - it's a wa I'm missing *calls monkeys*

5:53 am

fabulous monkeys! they're so smart and know the most ridiculous words!

5:53 am

amanda, it might be the wa6/30

5:53 am

Sheesh, I just SAW it, Lordy, it was so obvious! What you do to dirty clothes:) Done!

5:53 am

yay cat9!!!!!

5:53 am

5:54 am

Yay Cat!

5:54 am

Good morning and thanks Cat-that was my missing w too

5:57 am

Play with your expression Amanda and youll get a y word

5:58 am

Hey Eva - what is the victory sign?

6:14 am

V=victory :)

6:14 am

V for victory lickety

6:15 am

sheesh - still 49 words to find. Where can they be? let's eliminate e's and y's - how many of them?

Arrr - Ok, I got it. Hey - remember that early 90's tv show called V

6:15 am

9 Es amanda

6:15 am

Like holding up 2 fingers, in the shape of a V, maybe it's a US thing, not sure?

6:15 am

missing one 8. I have:ch8/50,sh8/45,wa8/80. What is the last one?

6:16 am

i remember it, didn't watch it too much though

I'm sorry - first came out in 1983

6:16 am

another ch eva

6:16 am

another ch8

6:16 am

I thought that Churchill coined that victory sign-but don't know where I got that

6:16 am

ch8/60 is missing from your list

6:17 am

Might have Eva, not sure?

6:17 am

Churchill did use the V for victory sign.

6:17 am

just make sure you don't do the victory (or peace) sign with your hand the wrong way round when in Britain!

yeah - it can be taken the wrong way here too

6:18 am

add onto the ch6/24, that gives you ch8/60, meaning virginal?

6:18 am

any hints for that other ch8?

te 5 12 ? ----- please

6:19 am

i was just going to ask for that one grim!!

6:19 am

thanks cat-got it!

snap

6:20 am

te + 3rd consonant+ another way of saying bye, ** **! But only the first part :)

6:20 am

got it! grim, sounds like a prefix for large plates in the earth

6:20 am

oops, 3rd letter in the alphabet, sorry!

6:21 am

that gives me fireworks!!!!

thanks cat!

thanks

fran gets *~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*

6:21 am

you're welcome!

6:21 am

yay Fran!

6:22 am

I'm sure I tried that te before and it wouldn't take...hmm

6:22 am

yay Fran!

Fran Gets : ACC O LADES!

6:23 am

amanda, use a different vowel, thought i had tried it too!

6:23 am

Meant to ask, it passed me by till now, what does the finger V for victory sign mean in GB?

6:23 am

twice as bad as middle finger??

6:24 am

or victory!!!

6:24 am

yikes LOL Thanks Fran!

Or peace

6:24 am

i was just asking, don't know either cat!

6:24 am

Can mean Victory too M3?

6:24 am

the middle finger is way more offencive than the two fingers

6:25 am

palm outwards means victory, or peace too, I assume, palm inwards is the offensive one

6:25 am

yes amanda x

6:26 am

Hmmm, interesting

6:26 am

i could explain but its not nice x but im sure you can imagine!

6:26 am

hi irene - lovely name *sings Dexie's Midnight Runners*

6:26 am

Thanks M3, yes, I can imagine :)

6:27 am

do you have simular offencive hand gestures?

6:27 am

Dexy's was Eileen amanda

6:27 am

The finger, middle, the V just means victory, or peace.

6:28 am

oops - you're right, Fran. Works with Irene too, though, when not singing in public!

6:28 am

oh now you know, if somone cuts your off in traffic you can do the v the other way, commen practice over here!!!

6:28 am

true amanda!! lol

6:29 am

LOL, I'll try it M3!

6:30 am

good luck, of do it but do be seen works for me !

6:31 am

in Hawaii we have a nice gesture called the shaka. you hold up thumb and pinky with palm towards chest and kind of wave it.

6:32 am

fran what does it mean, can i teach the kids!!

6:32 am

Alright, I'm going to the list with 45 left - am losing patience.

6:32 am

legend has it was originated by an old local guy who lost most of his hand in a sugar cane press, but no one knows for sure when it started.

6:33 am

M3, it means hang loose or eehhh, just a friendly gesture. the troops from Hawaii are using it in Iraq and it actually made the national news

6:34 am

oh cool

it must have been complete denial that I couldn't find the so5/14!! LOL

6:34 am

hey how sad am i i just googled obscene hand gestures lol

6:34 am

they were using it to wave officers through check points instead of saluting to not draw attention to them and got in trouble for it.

6:34 am

lol mrp!!!

6:35 am

it didn't exactly jump out at me either!!

well, my phantom word is on the grid! sc6/27!

6:36 am

right me off peeps got a wedding to go to,,,so have fun :)

6:36 am

M3, it's fine to teach your kids, proper way is to do it close to the body, not wave it around in the air.

6:37 am

LOL mrp! My phantom word for today was verbose.

6:37 am

ok will do my 7 yeah old will love it. thanks x

6:38 am

Fran, I've seen them do it on Dog The Bounty Hunter :)

6:38 am

we love the Dog in this house cat!

6:39 am

Here too Fran! I never miss a show :)

6:39 am

Is he on your island?

6:40 am

yes, he lives on Oahu, i haven't seen him in person, but i've seen Beth and mini-Beth out shopping.

6:40 am

I lived in Oahu for over a year, as a baby!

6:40 am

I love Beth! She is such a charecter!

6:41 am

you probably don't remember too much then cat!

6:41 am

they just got married, it's going to air in July

6:41 am

Naw, just pictures. My Dad was stationed at Barbers Point.

6:41 am

I read that, I'm excited to see the episode!

6:42 am

we used to live 10 minutes from there, now we live in Pearl City, not as far west.

I am feeling so stupid today! I am very slow on the big word uptake today... is the sh7 a compound word!

6:44 am

yes mrp, it's a sleep word

6:44 am

mrpresident, I have an sh7 that is not a compound word, means to break in little pieces and then the plural

6:44 am

mrp throw that bal through a window and it sh*****

6:45 am

good one Fran - wouldn't have thought of that!

I need the last sh7/44

6:45 am

Cat, Beth is a good example of how much fine engineering goes into modern undergarments...if you know what i mean. :-)

6:45 am

I envy you Fran, you live in a beautiful place!

6:55 am

Hey Amandacath! Not too bad today.

I was missing the sleep compound ... compounds are not my friend today!

6:56 am

First 100 were fine, next 40 took some thinking, last ones are for the list

6:56 am

6:57 am

6:58 am

Not yet, peri. sorry.

bonkler... it is to put your orbs to sleep, the ones in your sockets

6:58 am

aha, just me and my fish over here, thanks

peri... it is to look with your orbs, but not plural

6:59 am

I have the wa7 but can't figure out the wa8, is it a compound word

6:59 am

peri, it's a compound, and no fun to clue for without giving it away. What's missing from the following: wrist* + *ball

6:59 am

peri, timepiece and visual orb

6:59 am

thanks, bonkler

7:00 am

good clue mrp, thanks!

7:00 am

bonkler, thanks so much , never would have found it without your great clue

7:02 am

french disparaging term for Germans, Charm

7:07 am

7:07 am

*goes to check out rankings*

7:08 am

mrp, don't have those

7:09 am

MrP - think phonetics. Maybe only the crust of a fish pie - it's one of those "you know it or you don't" kind of words

7:09 am

dang, must get ready for work. later folks.

7:09 am

i'm right near stidmama, hurshy and ...darn, forgot the third....someone else! in the right side column. one or two points off.

7:16 am

nice to see you too, mrp... how

7:16 am

7:16 am

It is, charm - it's the name of the sound of an unstressed vowel = uh

7:29 am

good morning, Babblers. anyone have a clue for the first bo5?

7:29 am

thanks RRRR - kept trying it the other way. sigh

Now I need the final fe6/33.

The fish is in the freezer for the compound words!

7:30 am

7:34 am

Thanks, mrp! 30 left....

7:36 am

bye, mrp: I could have sworn hectose was a word, but noooooooooo

7:38 am

Aloyisius, did I tell you about my son and his funny comment about toast??

7:39 am

7:41 am

7:51 am

Good afternoon - are you done, FMitch?

7:51 am

anyone have a clue for the first b5? I can't get it at all

7:52 am

LOL, there are some good words today! Afternoon Haz, yes, finished lust before I started chatting.

7:52 am

be5 = to be surrounded by problems?

7:52 am

lots of meat?

7:52 am

lust??? - *just!!!

7:52 am

I'm stupid. Looked at the words too quickly.

7:53 am

Did someone say "lust"?

7:53 am

FMItch - she's finished with lust, she's going to be ch6 frm now on.

7:53 am

Puts hand up - it was me and my rubbish typing

7:54 am

Haz, have you notice that where I live is in the grid

7:54 am

Oh! The "lust" caught my eye....

7:54 am

ffirst bo5?

7:54 am

bo5/18 - term of disparagement used by French for Germans

7:55 am

Yes, FMitch - I had and was quite tickled by it.

7:55 am

.. and the pl and the e version too

7:56 am

Yes - and it took me ages to work out that the e version could be pluralised as well!

7:56 am

Hi guys!!!...am working away quietly in the corner.....

7:57 am

bo + two letters that go together to make one sound+ secong vowel....the sound is found in the word "church"

7:57 am

Hello Flask - did you finish yesterday?

7:57 am

yes.....but not without everyones help!!!!!

7:58 am

That's great - but we're glad to help anyway.

7:58 am

Hey Flask.

7:58 am

Hi Fmi9tch

7:59 am

Yes, Flask had a heart-stopping finish yesterday....;o)

7:59 am

Thanks Katrine

7:59 am

lol......

7:59 am

I had to feed my family instead - sorry I missed seeing you go past the winning post.

7:59 am

ok....am away to babble quietly just now!

8:00 am

Are you done Haz?

8:00 am

Enjoy yourself, that's what the game is about.

8:00 am

Haz....you're family would have starved if you had waited for me....lolol

8:00 am

phantom word = verbose

8:00 am

36 left to find - I'm working my way through the list to findthe stragglers.

8:00 am

Mine too Dorens

8:01 am

Good morning everyone!

8:01 am

Hello musicmom - good to see you!

8:01 am

Good to be here. Have about an hour to play before I have to get back to work

8:02 am

I want the "D" in the top row so I can have sc6/27 and phantom soda....

8:02 am

The summer schedule and kids being home really is cramping my babble style

8:02 am

Good morning musicmom

8:02 am

You should make good progress - it's a nice grid.

8:02 am

Morning FMitch

8:02 am

Looked like a fun one with my cursory glance

8:02 am

Print the grid off for the kids and get them working on it too LOL

8:03 am

Hello, Musicmom!

8:03 am

LOL FMitch. I have been taking them in the car or working on them in between running but it doesn't leave my much opportunity to chat

8:03 am

CRAP SORRY

8:03 am

yes, all kids should babble every day during summer vacation. so says an elementary guidance counselor

8:03 am

I just saw that word as I sent my post

8:04 am

My 12 year old helps me lots of times

8:04 am

expand "that" word and you will end up with an 8/50

8:05 am

no prblem, thanks music mom, i actually didn't' have tht one

8:05 am

Thanks F - got it

8:06 am

If there had been an x in the grid we could have had the word that is directly above where I am typing now.

8:07 am

well sorta!

8:07 am

well it isn't exit -

8:07 am

I found a word that was not in the A=Z list of4/9....of49 can you see...

8:07 am

or extinguish

8:08 am

The of4/9 has appeared in the grid before. Apparently it is a term of disparagement for a white person.

8:10 am

It sounds like it should be an Irish last name LOL

8:11 am

I'm really new at this- thanks Haz for the info!

8:11 am

finished all the 4s... 26 words to go!

8:11 am

I only knew it by clicking on the ? beside the word.

8:12 am

go Grace Go

8:12 am

Oh, is that what that is? Neat....

8:13 am

Occasionally it doesn't give any definition leading to discontentment in the ranks - no meaning, is it really a word?

8:14 am

Found some small fish in the grid be5/14 and pl for the 6

8:14 am

I have a newbie question: all that debate on Ba Anon about going "listless" or not-- does that refer to Lickety's list or the A to Z lists or both? For myself, I use Lickety's list only when I've absolutely exhausted myself without it but I've never resorted to the A to Z lists. Just wondering...

8:14 am

thanks F Mitch

8:15 am

Grace - I think that would depend on who you ask.

8:15 am

both, grace. any list. lists are bad! bwahahahahahahaha! *giggles*

8:15 am

I personally very rarely use A-Z but use lickety at the end of the grid or when time is becoming a factor for me.

8:15 am

Grace - the listless/list debate referred to either Lickety's or BJ's list. Just do whatever makes you happy.

8:15 am

Grace its re Lickety's and BrandyJacks 2nd letter lists Ata, you little tinker you!!!!

8:15 am

LOL Ata --- you are soooooo bad

8:16 am

hi all, how many words today please?

8:16 am

but its true! *gasp shock horror* lists are bad! BAD I say!

8:16 am

190 words today

8:16 am

190

8:16 am

oh believe me, I only ever do what I want... I just wondered because there seesm to me to be a big difference between the second letter lists and the A to Z...

8:16 am

ouch, thanks Haz

8:16 am

*seems

8:17 am

Ata ---- yeah - whatever.

8:17 am

there's a huge difference, and people just use whatever level of help they feel comfortable using ... if that's A2Z fine, lickety's list fine, whatever!

8:17 am

The second letter lists can nudge you in the right direction - a2z or morewords can provide the proof that a word exists

8:18 am

Most of the time I don't use A-Z or morewords just because I'm too lazy to open another tab (lazy sounds better than stubborn to me<G>)

8:18 am

Oh I'm not disparaging list users believe me-- as a matter of fact, I'm opening Lickety's right now!

8:19 am

I don't see why anyone should be disparaged for whatever they do. This aint' a competition

8:19 am

I just once again want to thank Lickety and BJ for their willingness to keep the game fun for me:-)

8:19 am

I wish I had known about the "?" last night- it would have helped. Oh, well, live and learn...

8:19 am

who knew there were that many ob words in the English language?! I have only one of them!

8:20 am

I want strobe to be in the grid today

8:20 am

need clues?

me too musicmom!

8:21 am

i want catch in the grid

8:21 am

hello everybody back for ten mins see if i can find any more words:)

8:21 am

Just how many ob words are there?

8:21 am

Hi Jean

8:22 am

5 ob words

8:22 am

5 x ob words

8:22 am

thanks haz

8:23 am

5 seems like a lot to me!

8:23 am

me too grace

8:23 am

They're peculiar - except for the overweight ob5/14

8:24 am

and considering there are 2 x ob7 and an ob6 hidden away

8:24 am

thats the only one I have haz lol

8:24 am

and of course, because I'm awkward, that was the one I got last *sighs*

8:24 am

I got the fat one haz --- I didn't know it could be made a superlative:-)

8:24 am

Remove the last letter from the overweight one to get ob4.

8:25 am

Yep had that one too. I'm missing the 7s and the 6

8:25 am

the bigger ones - think of words that normally go after per- or re- (going backwards)

8:26 am

ob7/48 - add a section of poetry to get a counterpart

8:26 am

first co5?

8:26 am

and the endings make words on their own too

8:26 am

ob6/33 - add French for green, and plural for ob7/48

8:26 am

YEY!!! My o is grey

8:26 am

ob +v4/7 = ob6/33 and then pl for the 7

8:26 am

actually, the endings are words in the puzzle- ve 4/7 and plural ve 5/16

8:27 am

mine too! thx all!

8:27 am

co5/12 - lay the table along with someone else

8:29 am

Where would I find the 2nd letter list...if I wanted to use it....not there's anything wrong with that.....

8:30 am

Click on Lickety's babble clues, under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page.

8:37 am

need one more 6...sc6 anyone?

8:38 am

that's sc6/36...

8:38 am

sc6/36 is the plural of sc5/22

8:38 am

have you got the alcoholic drink Grace

8:38 am

pl of the 5

8:39 am

ah...see that 5 isn't a word in my universe!

8:40 am

I just have to share some outrage. My "second" mother is just going through a big series of chemotherapy treatments and has lost all her hair. Which she's fine with, and has got a beautiful wig which looks *stunning*. She's going to a wedding tomorrow and has been told by the bride that she hopes she's wearing a hat so that no-one will be able to see the wig and be embarrassed about it! GRRRRRR!!!!

8:40 am

Does that mean you have it but don't use it, or you don't have it?

8:40 am

I have it but never heard it before!

8:40 am

Ata - that is TERRIBLE!!!!! I hope she isn't going to wear a hat

8:40 am

thats awful Ata

8:40 am

How thoughtless and unfeeling Ata

8:41 am

It would serve the bride right if she didn't wear her wig.

8:41 am

That nonesense would make me want to show up sans wig!

8:41 am

good morning all

8:41 am

wig out!

8:41 am

Very true Haz. GEESH the audacity of some people really burns me

8:41 am

she really thought about not wearing it!! but she's got a beautiful thingy for her hair - like a corsage thing for hair - I don't know what they are called! - and she looks STUNNING

8:42 am

hello everyone.... I was just going to add it would be great if she were brave enough to attent the wedding without it !!!

8:42 am

Good so she isn't wearing a hat --- right?

8:42 am

and she is NOT wearing a hat at any point! she downright refuses :)

8:42 am

Atlanta, I would tell them where to shove their wedding.........

8:42 am

Hi Karys, happy smiley cat

8:42 am

the bride needs some ettiquette lessons.

8:42 am

They're called fascinators (the hair thing).

8:42 am

good for her

8:42 am

LOL Flask !!!

8:43 am

what's so dumb is that she probably would have worn a hat if they hadn't been so rude ...

8:43 am

oh thanks Haz! never knew the name :)

8:43 am

the bride needs a heart/brain transplant

8:43 am

sounds like the bride might be too immature to get married!

8:43 am

What the bride needs is a good hard kick up the backside!!!!!

8:44 am

i second that flask

8:44 am

What is it about weddings that turns people into monsters - some people I should say.

8:44 am

bbl...

8:44 am

be nice if something really embarrassing happened to the bride ( or is that just too naughty of me ) !!

8:44 am

its the same with funerals and christenings.....think about it!!!!!

8:44 am

Atalante - print the log off and give it to the bride as a present from all of us!!!

8:44 am

I know ... but everyone is going to go round telling the bride how beautiful my second mum looks *insert amused grin*

8:45 am

I need help on le 5/14 pleeeese!

8:45 am

Excellent idea FMitch....let them read it out at the speeches!!!!

8:46 am

he he he yes! a babble telegram of best wishes ;)

8:46 am

le5/14 - a type of flower. le plus the first two letters of Mr Grant the actor's name, then a vowel

8:46 am

sh5/18 anyone?

8:47 am

sh5/18 is where the bride deserves to stay

8:47 am

ROFL - excellent Haz!!!! That is brill

8:48 am

I couldn't resist!

8:48 am

8:48 am

brb got company *unexpected*

9:11 am

I hate that

Atalante, do you accept commissions?

9:12 am

see ya

9:13 am

sometimes. usually. if its something I feel I can do prettily and nicely!

*GASP*... I'm checking out your website... you love Waterhouse and Alma Tadema too!! I've found my soul mate!

9:14 am

woot! I love them. anything pre-raphaelite or pre-raphaelitey!

yay! I thought I was the only one crazy enough to actually buy all the $100 books on Alma Tadema... so what are your TOP THREE pre-raph paintings?

9:19 am

top three? top *3*? what about top 30? oh ok. um. Waterhouse's "Miranda". Rossetti's "Beata Beatrix" and one of Burne-Jones's - I could never ever choose which one though!

9:20 am

actually maybe "The Depths of the Sea" if I really really had to choose

why can't I visualize Miranda... hmmm... well my favorite Waterhouse is probably Hylas and the Nymphs. So seductive, so haunting, so perfectly balanced, and after years and years I can still gaze at it for hours!!

9:21 am

this one: http://www.english.emory.edu/classes/S hakespeare_Illustrated/Waterhouse.Temp est.jpg

9:22 am

lickey, you still in the house??

oh yes... that's a truly great one

9:24 am

but I would probably change my mind every day. Though there would always be Burne-Jones and Rossetti in there

now I have to run and dig up my art books....

9:28 am

he he he :) yay for pretty art!

9:31 am

why is 'verso' not a word.... it means the left hand page of a book!

9:31 am

10:09 am

my phantom word for the day-wastrel

10:09 am

back again

10:09 am

Hi Stid :)

10:09 am

befelt should be a word

10:09 am

Eva, I've tred to put verbose in about 6 times since last night

10:09 am

if something can befell, then something can befelt

10:10 am

ah yes-can see how that one would haunt you

10:10 am

awth

gtg - bbl!

10:10 am

hi faeriekae, hi torgone!

10:10 am

Hi Haz. Well, thanks, but frustrated that I can't speed ahead quite as quickly as I did yesterday. Lovely chat tho!

10:10 am

sorry-that wasn't a curse, although it could be. My new least favorite letter is A

10:10 am

got the SH 6, thanks FMitch

10:11 am

I refreshed but now I'm missing the second tile on the last column

10:11 am

The log has been fun today. I'm in the process of deadheading my flower tubs, but thought I would say hello.

10:11 am

O Stid, helpme with the sh6. I have only 32 words yet already even

10:12 am

hetty -- that was a funny story... only because when Matthew was about four, Tom was cleaning the oil furnace in the living room... and had finished up with the vacuum on the last bit of oily dust... after taking the bag out of the vacuum, he told Matthew to NOT touch it...

10:12 am

hello again everyone...been working hard on grid and now down to 61....bit stuck now so reading log and noticed Brumbjorn who, with a name like that, must surely be !!!

10:12 am

HI everyone!

10:12 am

Long time no see, stid!

10:12 am

sh 6. like the little doggies that look like collies... only ends in A instead of ie...

10:12 am

{{{{Stid}}}}

10:12 am

hello shirin! where have you been? are you okay?

10:12 am

thats my phantom word too Eva

10:13 am

yes, Im fine. I am actually in Mexico City on vacation, but just got access to a computer so I thought I would say, "Hola"

10:14 am

to finish the story, of course Tom hadn't unplugged the vacuum cleaner, and OF COURSE Matthew had to touch the on switch. we have a cute pic of him standing there, completely surprised with old-fashioned "black-face" including the light rings around the eyes...

10:14 am

oh, good you're on vacation! hope it's not too oppressively warm down there.

10:14 am

Yes. IN my story's case I had close the kids into what I thought was an empty room with their toys while I frantically got on with laundry--the builders had leftthe open tin in the closet-- you should have seenlittle Alison, such a cherubic smiling white baby, with black smudges all over her.

10:15 am

yep, nothing like indelible black goo all over a towheaded child! LOL

10:15 am

no, actually its raining and I am a little chilly since I am used to the hot dessert air. How are you?

10:16 am

hetty-the fact that your son is still alive is a tremendous testament to your good humour and patience. I can't imagine what you thought when you discovered this living artwork!

10:16 am

And this was in the days before digital cameras-we didn't own a camera of any kind --so unlike you we have no record, except memory

10:16 am

we are well. It's going to be warm and dry here for the next week or so -- actually back into the mid 80s today, then a little cooler for a while.

10:17 am

I loved--love--my son dearly always. He was so proud of his artwork.ike when he used to ick my priae roses and oresent them to me "For YOU!Mommy"

10:17 am

usually when the chat log is this busy it means lots of us are well and truly stuck(-:

10:17 am

Im glad you're well. Enjoy the puzzle and I will probably check in later! Take care everyone

10:17 am

okay, back to the grid... :-)would like to get 100 words before I stop again.

10:17 am

thanks for checking in shirin! see you later!

10:17 am

I'm well and truly stuck all right.

10:18 am

10:34 am

esquin hello

10:34 am

Brum.... here it means someone born in Birmingham

10:34 am

Dart - best advice for someone starting out is look at the help icon and then go to angelsongs link in Friends of Babble below.

10:34 am

FMitch, whenI get around to upgrading, I tend to use the stuffy as an icon.

Oh thanks I didn't see that

10:35 am

Hunting for the for 2 bo words--o/5 and bo/6-- before making a mess of things

10:35 am

10:36 am

12:22 pm

faeriekae, are you no longer with that horrible boss?

12:22 pm

hetty, how are you today??

12:23 pm

Thanks Annie, I'm enjoying the day and the grid. Glad you're out from under a bad boss.

12:23 pm

Annie I went in and he called me a fuc**** bit** and I told him to stick his job up his arse and got my stuff and left I told him that he might talk to his wife that but he sure as hell wasn't going to talk to me like that

12:25 pm

(that was for faerie too)

12:25 pm

Just a couple of days before I quit his wife came into the office and he called her that and I told him right then to never ever talk to me like that and he laughed and said but that's what she is so there

12:25 pm

faeriekae, im proud of you! You might have an harassment case there. Just consider yourself in a better place.

12:25 pm

Oh I do plus he was into tax evasion so I do plan to turn him in.

12:25 pm

I've already got that underway

12:25 pm

He sounds like a sick person to me.

12:26 pm

He really needs some anger managment

12:26 pm

This sounds so awful, faerie! I will send a prayer your way.

12:26 pm

thanks for the woman's name, helped me locate an "e" I'd lost

12:26 pm

I know there is something out there for me and I will find it or it will find me I have no doubt

12:27 pm

Unfortunately Annie he sounds like an awful lot of employers around the world.

12:27 pm

Thanks {{Katrine}} I need all the prayers I can get Hon.

12:27 pm

hi hetty, i just started and dont expect to finish this one but i will try! cant print the list because the printer is broken. dell is sending me a new one, tho

12:27 pm

I believe in serendipity, faerie; you'll find it when it finds you

12:28 pm

ditto on that!

12:28 pm

FM I feel so much better now that he I've left there I really was uncomfortable with doing the books the way he was instructing me. Major tax fraud going on

12:28 pm

FMitch, I know. There are some terrible people out there. A little power out of control.

12:28 pm

Thank Hetty.

12:28 pm

I'm still way back in the 70's scorewise, but I'll help with any I have, annie

12:29 pm

faerie you will find something, hetty just used the word I was about to serendipity -wonderful word and great when it happens.

faeriekae, ditto what hetty said re:serendipity!!!

12:32 pm

You have nothing to lose but your fears

12:32 pm

Cor hetty what would the word score be on that!!!

12:33 pm

12:34 pm

LOL

12:35 pm

Oohh the Argentina Germany game has gone to penalties

12:37 pm

I fell asleep watching the game, have to leave now. FaerieKae, you have done the right thing. File for unemployment right away. Benefits pay from when you file, not from when you leave the job. Even if it takes a while to get them, you'll be glad you did. And my heart is with you. Be strong.

12:38 pm

We are out to do music camp. Back in a few hours. {{{{Faerie}}} }

12:39 pm

phantom word...eschew

12:39 pm

1:57 pm

of4/9 is a racial slur

1:57 pm

lol

1:57 pm

It is of 4/9 and rhymes with the beginning of the National Anthem...it has something to do with some type of word black people call white people...

1:58 pm

ah. no idea what is it but I'll believe you! It obviously hasnt reached the UK yet

1:58 pm

when i got to the list it was already added then.

1:58 pm

lol.....I have that one....lol

1:59 pm

For the folks overseas, our anthem begins , "Oh, say, can you see..."

2:00 pm

oh! well, you learn something new every day!

2:01 pm

I guess that is why everyone loves this puzzle! There are some VERY strange words in it...Including some words that I wouldn't say in front of anyone!

2:02 pm

is - um - this is just being curious - is there a background for why that's a racial slur? it doesn't seem a word that's connected with anything ...

2:03 pm

I really don't know. It sounds to me like an Irish last name LOL

2:03 pm

yeah .... it just doesn't sound very rude!

2:03 pm

atalante, i have heard in used but have no idea of its origin.

2:03 pm

Click on the ? next to the word. There is an explanation at dictionary.com

2:04 pm

Maybe it was rude in the Dark Ages...

2:04 pm

Hey folks - last word and monkeys are failing... so5/14?

2:04 pm

*it

2:04 pm

HI, everyone--if you click on the word, you'll see what is thought to be the origin(s) of the word. Interesting. Of course, most words don't sound offensive until we're told they are.

2:04 pm

bugs, so5/14 = not drunk

2:05 pm

What AA does for people is to get them....so***

2:06 pm

TY Words and Katrine ... perhaps my monkeys are not so***!!

2:26 pm

Flask-an undergarmet used over corsets and under bustles. hence the term "Big Be****"

2:26 pm

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, they really work

2:27 pm

i'm back in the bedroom sorting laundry, i hear "uh oh" coming down the hallway. he's a weird kid, hates to be dirty. so he's standing there holding the roller, pointing at his now white foot.

2:27 pm

hope he didn't try to eat the paint feather!!!

2:27 pm

got a little on the 30 year old carpet, no biggie, some on the bottom of the china cabinet which came right up with a baby wipe.

2:27 pm

lol feather, my son would have done the same thing i think!

2:28 pm

hetty has a better story though!

2:28 pm

hetty, what's your story?

2:28 pm

feather, if you are using latex paint water should remove it from anywhere

2:29 pm

I suggest you scroll back for my "better story"--done with mistyping words for today

2:29 pm

yep, latex. i gotta say, i LOVE baby wipes! been going through them like mad, wiping up any little spots that get onto the other walls

2:29 pm

feather, you really should keep that magic eraser around, works like a charm on crayon.

2:29 pm

i'll see if i can find it fran, and i'll copy and paste it. and yes, love the magic eraser too!

2:30 pm

thanks feather!

2:30 pm

Will the baby wipes work on the matte finish paint?

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

2:32 pm

Got it....thanks!

2:33 pm

2:33 pm

featherbe, ehn our son was two and we had just moved into an unfinished house, he happily spent part of one morning painting his (eight-month old and immobile) sister's face with some black enamel the builders had left in a cupboard. I(t was mointhe before the last vestiges were finally erased from her tender white skin and hair

2:34 pm

the wipes have worked on satin finish so far, and i think the old wall is flat, and they've worked on that too

2:34 pm

oh hetty! you must have been livid!! but laughing at the same time?

2:34 pm

miya!!

3:15 pm

tuna afternoon Miyavi fan.

3:15 pm

copied from Google:of 4/4 :Pig Latin for foe—is of less interest than the more likely story of this word's origins. The word, which is first recorded in the first quarter of the 20th century, must have been in use much longer if it is, as some scholars think, borrowed from an African source. Although this source has not been pinned down, the suggested possibilities are in themselves interesting. One would trace it to the Ibibio word afia, “white or light-colored.” Another would have it come from Yoruba ofe, a word that was said in order to protect oneself from danger. The term was then transferred to white people, regarded as a danger to Black people throughout the wretched days of slavery and beyond.

3:15 pm

oh no! ty Charm
