hello arb!
shalom, that is
shalom aleichem
min -- pants on fire!!
oh ARB, shalom! boker tov, too. I have been worried about you -- so much is going on over there and I have no sense for where things are in relation to other things...
HI to all who have just come on
Thank you, jilli!
how are things arb?
oh my gosh!! i can't stand it when i don't see her every week cause every time i see her she scares me! stop growing!!!
leighprefect, that has happened to me 2x. One time it flipped as I was typing in the last word! I was mad!
i know and she says "sss" for sarah. :)
so sweet knut! She's adorable
and thank YOU, mrp, for that re!!!!
de9 is a mirror one too, but away from
so now you have all the 9s!
eeep!! i want an indistinguishable baby babble nickname!!
Min- When I was still pretty new, stid was helping me get my last word and I was so close...and then it flipped. But I'm just trying to get ahead of you in the ranks. =) You're just ahead
THe northern towns and kibbutzim are living mostly in shelters for the last 2 days, as well as those areas close to the Gaza strip. There have been more than 400 indiscriminate rocket shots into Israel in the last 36 hours.
what do you mean by a "mirror" one
thanks mrp
yay mrp - i think i might survive lickety's leaving since we hae ou
we can teach her aaaaa. :)
ARB - I have
oh ARB -- my heart is sad for everyone over there...
I'm ahead of you in the ranks? Where do you see that
nn on now and we're so concerned
hehehe..... oh baby :)
On the rankings page.
i cant wait til charlottes fun
a vampire cannot she their's in the mirror
That was a messy message for ARB - I have CNN on now and we are so concerned
I'm sure stidmama is way up there in the ranks if not number. Stidmama, where do you rate in the ranks?
Not right now, because I guess I'm ahead of you in this grid, but you usually are beating me by about 1000 points.
*stamps foot* I want to tell all those misbehaving people with guns to go to their rooms...
late to the flip - 295!
???? Somewhere above halfway, I think -- better than many, not as far up as others!
ARB ~ a prayr for you and yours from Northen Nevada. We are watching the news and reading the internet and thinking of you.....God Bless You
Thank you all.
oh no - don't let stid get mad at you!!!
thanks ren
Boker tov ARB ,how are you?
that's so scary arb. i have no idea. we are so lucky here in our safe little den in oregon.
just jumping in, ARB - my thoughts are with you too of course
see what you started mrp? those great clues, and now I entered in two words, and now I am stuck because I hate to leave a grid unfinished...
hi. my name is stidmama and I am a babbleholic. I've been babbling for four months on an almost daily basis...
LOL stid!!!
I that thought you had to be pro player to be in the ranks.I am sure I'm near the bottom. I guess I'll have to check it out someday. Too tired now to look at it.
Hi my name is mrpresident... you can call me mrp, and I am a babbleholic... I have no intention of quitting either!!
ARB - I don't know whether you're slim as a r*** or not but my dad used to say to my plump mum, when thiings were not going well in wartime China - "Chins up!"
my daughter's name is in this grid!
hear hear mr. p!
Jaydee, we are fine (b'seder in Hebrew). But I'm afraid it will be a very hot summer and with lots of cancellations, including my niece and her children
hi everyone
fred
barney gumble : "hi, my name's barney gumble, and i'm an alcoholic". lisa simpson: "mr gumble, this is a girl scout's meeting" barney: "is it? or is it that you girls cant admit you have a problem??"--- still one of my favorite quotes
Do not get stid angry at you! You need her for clues!
oops sorry
hi andy! run quickly before you get started! it's too late for me, but you may still save yourself...
lol stid
jaydee - my thoughts are with you too
I have 55 so far - was quiet as I wanted to see how many can I get in 10 minutes
MrP -- I don't understand the chat -- is Lickety resigning the wonderful service?
lol froelica
I will do this one - I was on the road for last 4 days so need to keep my score up lol
i know longer know who i am, i have an iv to babble, and i think i sign my checks babble
good one, fro!
well, I was not on the road, but will be for a few days next week, so need to get my fill....
Hello my name is Miveryork and I am a Babblaholic. I have been Babble free for 12 minutes. My last game was twelve minutes ago!
ARB ,yes , its going to be a long HOT summer,thanks jillibus, i'm in the middle of the country so not under the same pressure as those in the norh and south
where are you off to stid?
i had that quote as my answering machine for a while, until everyone asked me what it was. i kept getting "it sounds like some drunk rambling" and i'm like, well it is!
where ya headed stid? i just found out we're taking a road trip to colorado in a few weeks
hi Minvery
there are several babblers in Israel. and a few others around that region too, I think. I just worry about everyone, babblers or not...
why are you going to colorado?
We are going to be in Victoria, BC for a couple days. Mother and I wanted to take the boys somewhere special but close this summer.
hi Min!
ARB, will keep you posted... clues are not going to be available straight away at this rate... he is going to teach me how to do the clues and I will try... *crossing myself and praying*
we'll cheer you on mrp!!!!!
thanks mrp
We had thought to visit Hetty and Jill, but it looks like that probably won't happen this trip.
Nice - I was there about 9 years ago, ferry rides are so cool. We got to see up close few killer whales
Good luck Mrp. If he's as good as I think he is, it should be fairly straightforward.
i love victoria. i was just there a couple years ago. good memories
flute
oops sorry
Yes, we will take the ferry across from Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula -- two hours of water everywhere...
thanks guys!!
that sounds great stid. i've never gone to canada. i have always wanted to. it's a shame too, i only live about 10 hours from the border!
Goodnight to my fellow Babblers! Thank you for clues!
hetty and i fervently hope we can meet stidf and her gang asap - what a treat that will be!
I haven't been north of the border in 24 years. It will be nice to go again.
I did the same - the other way - when we went to visit our friends in WA
later min
hey stid send em your address and I send youa box of chocolates I owe you anyway - duty free
good night Min -- sweet dreams and see you in the morning.
Victoria is a lovely time-warp city
ren said a word!
nite min c u soon
nite min
Yay ren! Cu l8r!
I said that word or something like it earlier myself... this is going to be a tough grid to avoid dripping words in the log.
i keep seeing "fro". its haunting me.
yo are soooo rigght stidmama
I think that is the first time someone has spilled the beans while talking to me.Thanks renfield! Goodnight
Hello everyone. MRP - can you thank lickety for all the time he put in in the past - I know I really appreciated it.
guess I'd better get to work on this monster, but I do love the chat
i'm falling asleep....NO can't fall asleep. only have 15 words
lynxxx, you are so nice to say that! He will appreciate you understand the time and effort and thank you!!
lynxxx - I second that -- thannks lickety, and thanks mrp for trying to fill in
well chat sloed me down - got 55 words in first 10 min, and 6 in next ten - steep fall in productivity
i got up at 7am for 9 straight hours of work today.... normal for others, yet for me.... sleepy!
clever me - I have 3 words but lots of fun!
I am exhausted. and just not focusing well on either chat or grid. I think I'll go take something for the headache and lie down.
u got it jillibus
froelica - what do you work at?
we had vbs this week. i had to get the kids up at 7:15 every morning this week and leave by 8:30. exhausted and looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow
i agree lynxxxx -- sooo kind of him
Does anyone have the 9's ? I have only 2 8's
MrP and Lickety -- thank you.

i had a rather *ahem* difficult person call me today, too.
de8 x 3
hi debbinta and everyone!
leslie - i may never love pumpkin as much as i once did...
4 re 8's
froelica - you work too long! Doing what on campus? *call me Nosy Parker* - hope that's not in the grid

leslie, our pumpkins were puking this year! we didn't have toilets though...just puking on the sidewalk like a good drunk
yuk, leslie - find a lighthouse - I'm sure it will be original!
can;t wait to see your pick leslie!
well, it's not like i'm on a vomit theme or anything, just found this one amusing ;)
i dont think i've puked on the sidewalk or anywhere outside for quite some time, thank you very much sarah!!

sometimes you just gotta hurl
oh, did you take that personally ashley? :) good little drunk
hehehe. hey, i've got dirt on you too......

i've been on a cruise with you. (booze cruise, i would say)
eees da boooze crrrooooze (lame attempt at jamaican accent)
ty mrp!
hehehe. also a bad mexican impersonation. when me and james went there they'd say that, and one guy goes "newlyweds!!" and we're like, uhh... no.... and he goes "oh, just practicing!!!" and made some very vulgar visuals
hmmm, working on it, mrp
haha!!! practicing...ew.

but when we think about you
it makes me wanna fart!
i do too leigh!! such awesome nineties shows, gone forever
i know that one leigh. i still do that all the time with my husband. we peek around corners and pretend we're in lockers. ok, that sounds so geeky...do i delete? nah. you all know i'm a dork

and owl79, from her salute your shorts knowledge
tell me your opinion on crocodile mile?
assuming owl was born in 79
i remember getting our Nintendo. we got it for christmas and my parents stayed up all night playing duck hunt.
whmp. Maybe whffmp, sound of de****ion in awe of leslie
As am I, fro...
yep
cracking up ashley
i like that image sarah
sept 25 1979
yeah! it's a club!
your're one year older than me owl. i just turned 26
excellent! we're up to five!! its officially a gang!
well i know lots of people are in awe of me, but why you at this moment, jilli?
21 and still a baby in many ways
sept. 9, 1978
oh man, duck hunt... back when the nintendo worked good enough that we didn't have to use the gun to keep the games in place
because you had already done 162, leslie!
you're in enigma!
im at 117 words and i think im heading to bed
hahahaha you obviously read the wrong name. i have 9.
how 'bout the power pad? remember that? "I jumped!!!"
in what?, wassup
the cool kids club
Hooray! I was getting a comples -- I have 17!
the gang. we're all children of the 80
172
oh, ok
*complex
sorry. 80's and 90's
anyone in their twenties, and in possession of a gun or brass knuckles can join the gang.... or just know a lot about nerf and neon clothin
ah there we go, be in awe of leigh
or hypercolor
what about scrunchies and crimpers? do they count?
F'ing phantom error
wow leigh
What about snap bracelets?
oh well, both start with L
can i join? i owned jelly shoes... is that what they're called
yes ma'am, but only if that scrunchie goes on the *side* of your head
100 words, good night all
i have a snap bracelet. circa 1986
sarah, jenna and me still do the power pad over at her house!!
well, i called them jellies
Night Andy.
yay
yup hang, youre in
good night andy
In awe of you too, andy
i liked the jellies with the glitter in them
can i come over sometime? i'm really good at the hurdles...
i think i still have my lime green pair somewhere
i still play nintendo and super nintendo. it's all about the old school video games.
Lessee....some help with the two nines? I wasn't paying attention before.
but they tended to rub sores on my feet so i eventually stopped wanting to wear them when i was younger
yeah, we should have a nintendo party (with beer of course)
no no no, i said i had nine WORDS, none of which are above 7 letters ;)
i can remember having a pair of velcro hugga bunch shoes when i was little
every time we go to my bf's parents house i head straight for the nintendo and dr. mario
anyone ever own a gloworm?
No, I'm sorry. Not Leslie! Lessee...Like, let's see. Sorry!!
i had a strawberry shortcake bike
me! i had one that was baby blue
ahh just thought you were getting lazy with your typing ;)
i had yellow!!!
what about popples?
yeah...i thought those gloworms were awesome, but my cousins destroyed it
i had a strawberry shortcake comforter... that kicked butt
those things were creepy, looking back...
*jumps in randomly* Olivia has a gloworm!
lol i'm still underage for beer... 3 more months though. that doesn't stop me though.
i also had a popple...the orange one
do they make those still knut?
hey knut!
yeah, they do. :-)
I suppose I was being lazy..
i had a strawberry shortcake twin bed sheet set...wore them slap out...i had the raggedy ann doll version of strawberry...i also had the little books with the records
hang, you stay strong, don't let a little thing like the law stop you from living your dream. i know i didnt
In fact, a lot of Olivia's stuff from her aunt is nostalgia stuff. My little ponies, care bears.
leigh - I'm still trying to decipher mrp's clue for pe8, but i do have the 9s. One is what is done in a mirror(re9/84), the other is a rhyme meanding turned aside (de9/90)
LOL froelica, you should be a motivational speaker
oh, i loved those things enigma. the plastic records. wanted one so badly
Huge puzzle today
i was tickled pink when they reintroduced the care bears several years ago :)
good advice ashley
two words: nite brite, or however you spell it.... that's 7 words.
Funny thing...I discovered this game and stopped playing mario on my nintendo (mario, super mario2, supermario3, Dr Mario)
puzzle? what puzzle...? oh! that puzzle!
Thanks jilli... *will look through the log for the pe clue*
light brite, i think, if that's what you're talking about
59 p words!
lite brite was a joke
man i wish i still had mine. i would be so cool!!
the darn thing would overheat and me and my sisters would always loose the little pegs
they have them at toys r us!
ok, anyone else think these people are speaking a foreign language?
reaaaaalllllllllyyy............
can anyone tell me how many 7's there are please
huh?
but i did love my lite brite - that's from the 60's , dontcha know :)
34 7's beaster
Oh, helen....you need to get to a toy store! Or watch VH1's I Love the 80's and 90's
34
34, beaster!!
34
sorry helen, i het excited when i talk to others about eighties and nineties crap
man, 34, thats too many
i've seen those shows leigh - like going to a museum
leigh, I have the bicycle ones, pe5/14 and 7/40 -- then mrp said to add the 4-pt letter and go from there. But go where? Monkey refused to help, sulk.
vh1 also had a show called "i love toys"
me too. it's like reliving my childhood
You have 22 hours, sit tight :)
no, it's fun to listen - i just don't know what the heck half the stuff you're talking about is!
jilli go left then diagonal
me and james could (and have ) do this for HOURS
you you're getting old when you can remember having to rent a vcr when you rented movies from the local movie rental place
i did that enig!!!
yeah, and taping songs from the radio. wow...
i'm a child of the cbgb's
and most kids today believe that vcrs have always existed
yes taping the hit parade songs!
Hmmm...thanks jill. *blinks at 4pt8
enigma - I used to work at a " local movie rental place"...I guess that makes me old. I also bought all those carebears and my little pony things for my daughter when she was born!
what i love best are my taped movied from tv- from the wonderful world of disney, with all the old ads on it!! its so wonderful *tear*
my kids don't even know the vcr. they call them dvds. even if it's vhs. they also have probably never seen a cassette tape
*kicks shift key*
naw, i don't think so, autumn moon
we taught my friends 10 year old daughter how to work her old portable record player, the kind that comes in a box!
i am still a child in spirit...i still love cartoons and toys
Hey - I still have my turntable and albums!
moi aussi
the whole concept of the needle was very hard to get across, but eventually we got her playing 'i am woman' and 2 hours later we were very sorry we did, :)
ok, this is my last old-school reference.... froe, my sister and i still have the he-man and she-ra christmas special, along with old thundercats episodes on tape. they are the greatest.
mymuse - go left from where? The end of pe5/14 or 7/40? And how can I go left from the 4-pt and diagonal down? "not found in the dictionary" is where I get!
the 4 point letter then up diagonal
That uses the last letter of pe5/14...
good god. i am stunned. i missed out on taping those, but i did manage to get a lot of duck tales and chip n dale rescue rangers
they played those toons to death in the evenings
yes jilli then 4ptr then left, then up/diagonal
*grins ear to ear*
darkwing duck. :)
yup. and talespin
ch- ch- ch- chip and dale, rescue rangers...
yeah i remember talespin as well
i have the chip n dale theme stuck in my head about one day per week. no kidding my coworker can vouch for me
my son loves chip and dale, used to watch the Christmas one over and over and over
huh
*still lost with pe*
how many words today plz
295
some times, some crimes, can slip into the cracks, but these two, gumshoes, are pickin' up the slack!
actually i bought my sister a newly-released chip and dale dvd for christmas. i guess they re-released a lot of the old cartoons
ta
sheesh, muse - thanks, and mrp did say it was a stupidhead word! Clear as mud, I see from the ?
(duck tales - oo WOO oo)
i gotta get me some of those
leigh... if you want to ride a bike you need to pe 5/14
all your 80's talk actually helped me find a word, thanks
yw jilli, leigh start with the foot thing on bike and follow the clue to jilli
the kicker about the old toons is that compared to the ones today they seem awkward because the movement of the characters, esp. their mouths, is slow
phantom word - crap
really? i haven't found a word in like an hour. what was it?
i can't remember any of those shows. i can remember the stupid sitcoms though. charles in charge of our days and our nights. (whoaaa) charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights. I want....i want... i want charles in charge of me
i love the duck tales versions of shakespear and homer
rare
peer
pare

it is! except for the bum that lives in my bushes.... but he's kinda nice too
Good eve Kalea
resident bum. :)
how is everyone tonight?
yup, raised in the suburbs, downtown for 4 months now
Nice bums are good. I had to call the police again this morning. I have a vacant house across the street and it attracts EVERYONE!
fine and you kaela?
yup. james likes him. he says he has an unspoken bond and agreement with him
yipes
i'm good, thanks...........just don't ask for what
leigh - mymuse got me the pe8. After the bicycle pe5/14, go to the 4-pt letter. hang a left, then up to the right. It's a kind of mud
james is a kook. but, we share the same genes..
lol kalea
true on both counts
I have a blind date tomorrow. It will be interesting.
it was mrp all the way jilli, wouldn't have found it w/o him!
Hang a left...
You and james r related wassup! A family thing going on here.
thanks jilli!
you have no idea. theres two more
sueq and jimmy the fish
mrp says he is a she!
james is my bro. he doesn't babble. froelich is his girlfriend, and my friend.
Really! Who's that! Oh, you answered already.
really, sorry mrp
my parents also babble. sometimes in the same house on two different computers!
Hi everyone - someone said ther are four r8 words. Do they all strat with the same 3 letters?
I still don't understand how to go left. What am I missing here?
That's fun! I haven't outed myself to my family as being a 'babbler'
Oh, ffs. I'm over it. There's all day to figure it out while I'm at work. =)
I'm the word freak in mine. Could play scrabble for hours.
i love that they do that, cause you know that your dad can hear your mom laughing from the living room
leigh. take the bike word. then add another word for "hair" on a dog only spelled wrong
hi dianne! There are 9 8 words, don't know what they all start with. No lickety any more!
yes Dianne
i know. what's funny is my dad emails my mom from the living room to ask her if she wants some coffee.
thanks kalea.
that's so him. gorsh!!
why no more lickety jilli?
Oh, snap. I was looking at the effing x. I'm too tired for this.

Good night Debbinla
debb - good night and uck to you too! LOL
Only 186. I killed myself with the pe, looking at the wrong letter this entire time.

Night, mymuse
*has to be going soon...only has about 20 more minutes of battery life*
Your laptop or you?
Hehe. My laptop. But I'm not far behind.
:) It is so nice to be in this timezone... when babble flips, I wake up.
I wish...it's nearly 3 here.
Babble flips at 7.00 am here, that's perfect.
200 mymuse? I'm speechless, of maybe if I were I'd have more than 40.
Okay. 212 words. I'm going to sleep now, before the compy dies. Happy babbling everyone!!!
212?? I'm getting acomples
Night leigh, sleep well! And hi jilli :)
night leigh
213. Sorry. =) Night all.
*a complex
hi sprite, good to see you.
yeah, but you'll catch up jill
I'll help you get rid of that. Only 75 here, and no 8s or 9s at all. Now you feel better, right?
hi all......
not tonight, kalea!!!!
hey kier :)
where in canada are you, jill?
I have some 8s and both 9s
hello kier
i have one 8 - re the past tense of to over
how are ya'll doing tnite?
I want retaliate.
that is to do over.....
Kalea, in British Columbia, on an island off the coast, north of Victoria
joey: thanks, and don't forget the person doing it. You gave me 2 with one clue :)
i'm in se BC
cool - i missed the other one
hi kier!
Which part, kalea?
cranbrook
Can you click on my icon, kalea?
oooh, i've been to cranbrook! my in-laws live across the border in bonners ferry
lol............small world
another 8 - re one rescinds a law.
anyone want the 9s?
Yes please! :)
so cool, jill
sure, would love them
thats a lovely pic
When you look in a mirror, you're re9/84. When you turn something aside, it's de9/90 and they rhyme
When you look in a mirror, you're re9/84. When you turn something aside, it's de9/90 and they rhyme
sorry if I seem to be missing words, i just got back from a 3 hour bagpipe performance at a bar.. it was great but my mind is gone
oops - glitch
Beautiful jilli, thanks! :)
Ooph... that's something, joey. Great music, but personally I think it needs room. Very much room.
well, *blush* I'm really not so beautiful, sprite - lol
yup, it was a small bar - no more than 40 people would fit. two bagpipers and two percussion
I am sure you are!
jest ornery, sprite
more help on the 9s, please. i don't get it from those clues.
Once heard a performance in the hall of Aviodome, a dutch aircraft museum. Metal walls too. And a very confined place. It was too much for me, though I love bagpipes.
never mind, jili - i got them
Jilli, anyone with a mind as yours cannot be anything else but beautiful :)
agrees
sprite - they were great - they play what they call celtic rock. third time i have seen them
Sounds great, joey. I'd love to hear it.
Freud is in the grid, but not in the dictionary.
sprite - their name is the Rogues. I will find the web site tomorrow and let you know next time i "see" you
brb
Joey: great! I will try google too :)
hi everyone
they are from Houston, but the lead guy is from Canada
yikes, sprite! And it's feeling feeble right now so I should go to bed.
Where in Canada, joey?
I am thinking Ontario, but I am not sure - he was not there tonight - had a replacement
Hehe, perhaps you should, jilli. But you won't. Not yet ;)
It's a big country, and Ontario is a big province.
sprite, you know me!
i will find out
hello again everyone!!
hi mrp
A little bit, jilli, and I love your company :) Hi mrP!
hi mrp -- finally got your clues! Thanks
Morning all How can it be so many words without an s!!
ty, sprite - the feeling's mutual
Ho Hum: there are some great endings. And hi!
back
Ho hum - there are eds and ers ;)
wb kalea
ty
http://www.therogues.com/ is the web site and he is from Toronto
good, joey -- I just think it's funny when peope say someone is from a certain US city but someone else is from just Canada - lol
Too big for me today
Oops Morning all too.
Great joey, thanks. I'll check it out.
Hi FMitch, lol.
hello FMitch
you're welcome. sorry, jillibus, just a little bit of egocentric thought
As if Canada were just a little pimple on the forehead of the USA!
Hi sprite and kalea
homeland chauvistic pig? ;)
i've been there many times from the eastern coast to the western coast, it is beautiful
jillibus where is that lighthouse located?
*chauvinistic
its certainly notintentional, i'm sure
Sorry if I'm being a bit over-sensitive!
Hi MrP if you are still there.
saphyre, it's in West Vancouver -- click on it!
it's beautiful
And where is yours, saphyre? It's most interesting!
Hawaiians should feel neglected too. 'Aloa' is not valid!
about 10 minutes from my house - Calvert County Maryland
that's aloha, isn't it?
because it's aloha.
Fabulous, saph! Is it working?
My bad, kalea, you are right.
Good morning all.
yes it is :)
Hi Haz!
So many lighthouses are being pahsed out these days
hi haz
hello Haz
Hi Haz!
*phased
very sad
Good morning Haz, how are you?
I'm fine, thanks. Is the grid civilised today?
Hi Haz, and FMitch -- didn't mean to ignore you
It is a lot of fun, Haz!
Not playing today - too big, lots to do today and off to a BBQ this afternoon
Hey MrP did you get my email? Hi jillibus
Well, you can keep the rest of us company while we find the words - or try to!
morning all :) ...this looks like fun...
Hey
hello mrpres
hi sherb
Good morning sherb! And good evening mrpresident.
It is, sherb!
Fmitch, I got your email and thank you for understanding to the precise point!! I will reply when the family isn't trying to jump all over me!!
hi saphyre, Haz, sprite, FMitch, mrp :) ...waiting for the morning mist to burn away... looks like we're in line for another beautiful day...
Hi sherb, it's going to be a warm one today and even more so tomorrow! Just spotted the cheese is in the grid as is the old form of communication t5
But no vulcano today.
FMitch, are you working... I don't see you on yahoo??
hi all :)
hi atalante
Hello Atalante!
hello Atalante
hi atalante
Good morning Atalante.
morning Atalante :)
Hi Ata *hugs*
Hello to all....
hi blaze
Hello Blaze!
greetings, blaze
Blaze!!! ...good to see you again :)
Hello Haz and sprite and saphyre and sherb et al! you all come on at the same time!! must be a good babble time for you all
hi blaze!
hello Blaze
guess I missed your arrival, sherb-- hello
Hello helo.... I see the gang is already here... who made up these 295 words anyway??? happy babbling...
Is that a lighthouse between the hills, blaze?
oopss almost did a word....
I work night audit at a local hotel so by 1am it's usually quiet enough for me to babble for a while mrp
hi jilli :)
It's a babble bra.... from google images...LOL
The grid has standards. No ladettes.
Nice bra! And Ata: fun pics! :)
Back shortly.
LOL Haz
I tried ladette. It is a compulsive thing, to try words that others already found out will not take!
Now that's true babblism...
i want exude
I want Ex + L6/18 to be valid.
As in written mail from former boyfriend.
thanks for the clue sprite
But it's not valid, Blaze :(
no, but the 6/18 is - thanks
Oh, of course. Sorry for being thick ;)
alas, no sleep for me, so i return to the lullaby of babble
oh yeah sprite, thick as a chocolate mud cake!! with whipped cream and cherries.... just not loved :)
wb froelica
I found them all...!!!!!
LOL!
thanks :) my brain should be numb in about half an hour
jaianniah: you are finished? WTG!
wow jai........congrats
Yeah, but my day tomorrow is finished as well!!! LOL
Great job :)
jai - you're amazing! (I typed that in the Add Word box - obviously fading fast)
Don't thank me- I forgot to take my meds at bedtime and I am as wide awake as a I could be....
Oops... can you take them now? Or do you have to wait?
I'm taking them now....LOL...Just had to finish...one more word...keep going...etc.....
Now that sounds familiar, lol.
The hardest part is ignoring the Chat!!!!!
Playing babble is like eating chocolats. Just one more... only ONE more...
We cannot be ignored, jaianniah :)
Or eating anything at all, for me....
tell me aboutit!
you'd all be proud, i had one chocolate today (and it was glorious) and only one despite the fact that it was in my office for the 8 hours i hadn't eaten during
hmm that kind of made sense...
Very good, froelica!!! So why are you up playing Babble????
froelica, I salute you. So much self control! :)
yesterday it was donuts. what are they trying to do to me?
i cant sleep jaianniah!!
Make you look like them...
hah! that's scary.... *shudder*
Darn. Chocolat... donuts... I want breakfast! Back in a bit.
neither can I!!!! and I am in CDT!!!! It's 2:54 am here!
hey all!
been there, many a day
quite new here.
hey, AS
here 2 days nw and i'm quite enjoying this
do you have to get up early at all?
hello AS
No, TG!!!
hey jaianniah
good, AS!
Morning all!
hey kalea.
hello
as!
Morning, Flask!
thx froelica
and hello flask!
hello Flask
hey jillibus!
well, today would have been the 100th posting of the Lickety clues !! what do you all think??
brb my doggies want to go out....
elora
I think Lickety should keep doing it and doing it and doing it......LOL
It'll be interesting to see just how many finish now....with Licket's....lol
woops! no good anyway
Why no more Lickity?
Wow MrP, didnt realise he had been posting that long, he deserves a medal seing as he does it all for free and the love of babble!!!!
*promotes BJs clues madly*
lol..........i have never used any but BJ's anyway
Must have the hundredth day-iversary of Lickety!
i second the promotion
thanks FMitch. alot of people don't know that! He loves to do it for the babblers!! We need to get him back!!!
oops, did I miss something? no more lickety?
mrpresident - Lickety's list has been a tremendous help to many of us. I'm sorry that he can't continue, but I understand that even superman had his limits!
HOORAY FOR LICKETY DAY!!!!
why has he stopped.
No more Lickety? What happened? What is the alternative. I use the list when I'm pinched for time. This will really curtail my babbling.
Hear Hear, bring back Lickety - it's great having him and BJ provide this great support to all us babblers
the alternative is BJ'S LIST
He is so much appreciated but - burned out? Guess he's allowed to have a life!
We hear ya Atalante!
how do you get to BJ's list?
TheLegend, you go to Babblers Anonymous
Click on Babblers Anonymous under Friends of Babble, then general, then BJ's list.
lol jill.............sad but true
thanks Haz and jill
Lickety deserves a break... he and brandyjack are great... :)
yep........where would we be without them?
Oh my ... I don't know weather to have a party for the 100th Lickety post.... or a wake... with real tears... I live the format of that list... I love both lists
MrPresident said she would try to get it going herself -- with lots of help from her friends
thanks sherb... they do that all for you guys... for the love of it!
morning all
I think that some player presumed the lists were part of the babble set up and didn't realise they are done on a voluntary basis, and real life does have a way of interupting babbleland as we all know.
morning MVA
hello MVA
babble is real life.... Oh my did someone offend Lickety... ??
And don't we hate it when that happens, FMitch.
hear hear FMitch! you are so right!
I sure as heck won't get done as fast!
LOL sprite
i would never finish if it weren't for the lists
And I can understand Lickety needing a break. It takes a lot of time to make the clues the way he does.
Blaze, no one offended Lickety!! he is unoffendable!!
how does he (and bj) compile the lists?
Hi Blaze - unless you have been babbling as long as us and remember the days pre list and pre pro, the level of expectation is already set.
you're right FMitch... I gave up playing every day because I just couldn't find the time... Lickety and bj make a huge commitment in posting their clues...
Those were the days, my friends!
When did Babble start?
It's in the archives, I think.
indeed, sprite... those were the days... scrolling through the log for clues, finding partial lists... only asking for clues when we were desperate... babblers these days don't relaise how good they've got it!! ;)
According to the archives 30 Sept 2003
i think i started in the glory days
my birthday~!!
funny looking through the old grids... there was hardly any chat...
i missed 2 years of babble!!!
Hello everyone!
I have been babbling for over a year now... remember the BJ posts in the chat log and then swmbo started bab anon and the recently lickety and MRP made there great contribution... I guess many do not know the contribution made by these wonderful people.
Best birthday present ever :) Well, I liked the old days, but I am having fun now as well. Sometimes I get a little irritated when people ask for clues after clues without looking themselves, but somehow they don't hang around that long. The hard core is growing with lots of great players :)
Sept 30, 2003 is your birthday, mrp? You're very advanced for your age! lol
hi SweetTooth :)
LOL jilli!
LOL :))
Fmitch - do you like being called hard core?
and hi SweetTooth
It was a totally different game in the early days, babblers played against eachother to win or finish first, clue giving was a very different matter then
hi sweet tooth!
I think I joined babble when the competition was not that strong anymore. I enjoyed the helpful atmosphere of the site from the start.
I think the cooperation in this community, rather than competition, is what make this site so very special
sherb, I remember the old babble days with hardly any chat, except for toohott asking if Gooner was around.
lol SweetTooth :)
Jilibus I totally agree..... we have had some great friendship circles form here.....
My core is vodka, lime and soda... anyone wanna glass?? we can celebrate the 10oth anniversary!!
Well I have never been called that before!
cheers
cheers mrp... that'll go nicely with my breakfast... :)
i'll take one of those with tonic
It's a tad early here MrP but I'll go for a glass of bubbly if yo have to to celebrate what would have been the 100th list
bottoms up!!
I do! I do! That will go nicely with my meds!
bubbly at any time of the day is good!
bbl, cat and family want fed!
I apologise if my choice of words wasn't acceptable english! I mean the group of people that play often and stay for a long time.
Cheers to Lickety and to BJ too
great bubbly MRP
LOL sprite we know, was only teasing, would never take offence at anything you say :)
hey, that sounds really good, mrp! Trouble is I don't have any lime or any soda, so I guess just vodka will have to do - on the rox. Here's to Lickety and BJ and you and angelSong and swmbo and all the other helpers who have made this great game! Salut!
Ditto, Fmitch
hear hear jillibus!
Well, as non-native speaker I never know when I put my foot into something, lol.
sprite - it's quite alright! I was just teasing. Hard core is used in the building trade to use as a foundation for things, so quite appropriate. I was being mischievious as it is also used to indicate levels of naughtiness in the porn industry. No offence taken!
Lol... goes to show my ignorance on porn, I guess ;) I am glad I didn't offend anyone.
Haz, I don't believe it I was just typing the same thing pretty much word for word. jillibus - good call on swmbo and angel too, shouldn't have forgotten them.
Not at all.... I remember a time on the old chat log when we would get very offensive intruders.... it was nasty..
We still do get offensive intruders, but they leave awfully fast.....
do people really have nothing better to do that seek out conflict???
than*
Do you remember in the old setup, when typing a very long entry without spaces would bring the wordlist down? We had some very irritating trolls then, who kept doing it just to spite us.
didn't even notice, sprite... just spent five minutes wondering what you were apologising for...
okay my vague word is defraud... duh
I like the trolls... it's like watching a social experiment...
Well, it's been a great evening/morning but my brain is asleep and my eyes will be soon. Fare well, all - see you next time!
Sleep well, jillibus.
I remember that. I think we have become a much stronger self policing comunity thank the old days and therfore we tend to be able to get rid of trolls as we all unite.
nite jilli... sleep well :)
goodnight jilibus
nite jillibus
bye jill!
I, too , am off to sleep...I hope...and to mourn....<sob>we will just have to work together that much harder!!!!
HELP - i need one more P. Pe6/24. I have Pe+fruit, bells rang, took rind off, threw stones & stroked the cat. What am I missing?
nite jaianniah :)
good night .... those going and hello to those coming in.
pe6/24 - do you have the little foot operated boat?
Five letters as pe5/14, bicycle part and finish with a vowel.
Nite, all!
Good night jaianniah, sleep well.
Haz - you are wonderful - thanks so much. new word for me.
Glad to help, Dianne.
I just found the strangest Pe8. Happened upon it when trying to enter the person doing the Pe5/14 and Pe7/40. Pe8/65: Pe5/14 + first 3 letters of iron. Soil rich in alumina and iron and deficient in carbonates, found in and characteristic of humid regions
orle
oral
oraled
yah dianne!!
Lol Dianne, stop! ;) Oh, and the person doing the Pe5/14'ing is not valid.
Sorry, sorry - so sorry. That's why I shoudn't chat.
Thanks sprite, a strange word indeed.
OK, am off to convince a certain cluer to put up the 100th clue list.... bye for now!!
You are most welcome to chat, Dianne. We all do it, and we keep hoping drG will fix it some day. Don't let it stop you.
don't stop, Dianne, you're on a roll ... :)
Bye mrpresident! Go easy on him.
bye mrp
bye mrp :) ...give our thanks to Lickety :)
MrP, he is entitled to have a break! Really :)
Bye MrP
sprite... what would you like me to break? :D
LOL, bye!!
Lol!
I would say: break a leg! But only in the artistical sense.
who would have guessed that Mr Harris was a verb... *puzzled*...
he must be a politician of yours ... is he??
So what would the defnition (imaginary) be? (Mr Harris is an Australian entertainer, singer, painter, TV personality)
not exactly, Blaze... he's an entertainer, originally from Australia... he sings, plays the didgerdoo, paints...
*didgeridoo?*
gotta go to bed... see you all later... only 209words to find
his all time classic is a song called 'Two Little Boys...', reputedly Margaret Thatcher's favourite song... *begins to think that she knows too much about Mr Harris...*
and I got he Mr. Harris too...
Night Blaze. Rest contented that you are almost finished ;)
nite Blaze ... may see you later :)
'Jake the Peg', with its accompanying extra leg, was also high on the classic list.
well.........i haven't found a word in a while.........think i should go to bed when i can't see the letters anymore
lol Haz :) ... I think we both have a good memory for trivia...
Might be a sign it's time to close those tired eyes, kalea, LOL.
sweet dreams, whether it be day or night
nite kalea :)
lol sprite......uh huh
My brain is full of rubbish, sherb.
got 89 to find tomorrow
ah, but amongst the rubbish are lurking many gems... :)
'rubbish' is a judgemental term for unappreciated gems.
Any chance of dissuading Lickety from his decision to retire from his list?
Time for me to go. Happy Babbling.
Perhaps by giving him an extra 2 hours per day and some energy?
That's true. It's just that my brain retains dates and names but anything technical doesn't get a chance to register!
Bye FMitch :)
Bye FMitch - have a good day and hope the sun shines on the BBQ.
Byeee
Merk - you can always use brandyjack's list... it's not fair to put pressure on Lickety, who's done so much for us already...
Ooh - big grid. How is it today (Hi, Bye Fi - and hi everyone else))
later FMitch :)
hi matty :)
It's fun matty, you'll enjoy it.
Haz, my mind is like a crazy jukebox. Almost everything rattles my memory of a song.
good morning everybody:)
morning Jean and Matty
sprite - I find the same thing... usually obscure songs from the 60s and 70s...
Sprite - there used to be a TV programme here called 'Name that tune' where people competed to name a tune in as short a time as possible. You'd have made a fortune!
morning jean :)
and anyone else who's just arrived!
felted
sorry!!!
not concentrating!
Good morning all... How many words are there today?
Just yesterday, my husband was mad at the kids and called them down for a 'powow'. And I started singing a VERY obscure song from "the mechanical horsetrough" (not kidding) about the indians who are coming, and gonna have a powow with your bowow. He started laughing and lost all sternness, lol.
too many KK...295
Thanks...I could seefrom just the beginning that there were too many!
Sherb - do you remember 'Face the music', with Joyce Grenfell, Robin Ray, Ariana Stanissverylonggreek name etc?
Ah, but most of them are easy!
Oooh - lots of past tenses and comparitves (or people who do things)
Name that Tune was in the States as well1
Yes, I reckon most quiz shows do the rounds all over the world. Countdown was originally a French show.
Can't sleep...must Babble....can't sleep...must Babble.....
Stassinopolous, now Huffington... that's how much trivia my mind carries... I remember it well... :) I play a version of Name that Tune with friends sometimes... CDs make it so much easier than with vinyl...
I wish I spoke Polish. Imagine the Scrabble scores.
The very name. And the dummy keyboard. That was a work of genius.
Or Russian!
write a message...
morning al..
morning all :) How many today?
295 marso
morning marso & rolin
295
morning rolin :)
cheers :)
leud
so sorry
no probs Kateq :)
Morning KAte
morning all
morning kateq
Why can't we have epter - someone whos is more ept (or less inept)
Because the R isn't close enough?
phantom word...exude...
It's not found in the dictionary, so it wouldn't work anyway...
Leave it to babble to have two reasons to frustrate us.
there cannot be 35 f's
I thought the same thing, rolin. But I found them all, at last.
off for now bbl have a good day everybody
Bye jean!
Sprite, how are you doing with the 59 P's??
FIFTY NINE P'S????...OMG
Almost there, Flask. 5 more.
59Ps! oh my ... I didn't notice that! LOL
sprite....i could learn to hate you...lol
You couldn't possibly. I am way too useful for that ;)
lmao...so true
ferral
only one r
That should work ;)
sorry folks!
Or change first vowel.
Last vowel, I mean.
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/ llama.php
am now having a concerted P effort!
ok...over half way in th first run thru..im happy with that...off to do domestics for a while...cya later all..
Only 200 left. Akkk!
Some Ps: Pa5 and 7: think artists and paint Pa5,6,7,7: think word and when a criminal is let out of jail on condition he/she behaves Pe5,7,7: think gem in a shell Pe5,7,8,6: all related to foot or starting with same Pe5,7: leafs of flowers
*that should be leaves, I think
that foot one can even be 5,7,8,6,6
For the P8/65: Pe5/14 + first 3 letters of iron. Soil rich in alumina and iron and deficient in carbonates, found in and characteristic of humid regions.
True, Ata. Different form but related.
I don't have the pe5/14!
Got it.
Pe5/14: Pe + valley minus last letter
I need one more P. Probably unfindable.
The artists and paint - I have the five - where does the 7 come from - I've tried the comparative and the past tense
matty: french spelling
the english spelling of it
good morning everyone! There's also a p who is a church official
lol Ata!
Please excuse my french ;)
emglish and french spelling :)
Sprite I can't get that pe5/14
thing on a bicycle Flask
If you ride a bike, your feet are on them.
patte should be allowed. love that word
I agree.
Especially since L.... is allowed.
Oh I have that one Ata.......its the one to do with iron
thats the 8, flask
That one + first 3 letters of iron is the 8.
sorry...am confused.....a bad night last night...:(
(((Flask))) Just ask away, no problem at all.
Got it...thanks for your patience...x
10 Ps to go!
The pe foot with 6 letters are stumping me.
Yeah Ata! I still need that darn one.
one is a type of "boat", one is + past tense of eat
matty: first one is Pe5/14 + vowel, some boaty thingy you move with your feet
The 2nd is Pe + when we agree to meet eachother
Ahhhh - that helps - thanks!
And again Ata beat me to it, lol.
bwahahaha :)
I'll shut up now and look at the grid :P
Down to 21 and nowhere to go.
*~*~*~FIREWORKS!~*~*~*
Yeah! WTG mrP!
well done MrP
Did you keep Lickety in one piece, mrP?
Congrats Pres!
He is having fun on Xbox!!
Good for him!
*hugs to lickety*
thanks Atalante {{{hugs}}}
I have 42 of the Ps now...
I found the last I found the last! The father one.
Glory be - I hadn't even looked at the numbers involved in the words this morning....
yay sprite!!!!!
well done Sprite....I knew you would!
congrats all
The last P, not the last word. I am down to 13!
my brain is frazzled bbl....bye all....
Bye Flask1.
Bye Flask :)
bye flask, just got here, have a good one!
bye flask
another phantom word: caroler
It would need another l though. (Sorry to be pedantic)
I was wondering about that. Is that someone who sings carols?
And please be pedantic. I learn from it :)
Yes, it's a Christmas time occupation!
I'll remember!
is anybody else having problems with the site? I have to keep reloading every few words.
hello
i had a drama last week eva but not tonight
Hello Eva, the site is working fine for me.
i see that we have tile filler again
Not right now, Eva.
hi all
no problem wuth the site just problems finding words!
hows todays grid?
Big, but rewarding.
just running through my list adding "re" before everything.
hi has lickety left out the f words?
Eva: don't forget to try re- where you have de- :)
thanks sprite. I assume that's where some of the biggies will come from?
um hello question
Yes, a 7/8 combo and a 7/9 combo.
hi i have a question
No Lickety's today, mistress.
oh is that list from yesterday?
He puts the date on top somewhere, I think.
it is the July 14th list
i got puzzel 1207 july 14th is that the correct list? sorry different time list
sorry didn't mean list i meant zone, the 12 yr old bothered me mid sentence
Hehe, kids, they are the same everywhere. It's the list for yesterday's grid, mistress, Lickety is taking a clue break.
i dont think lickety is doing the list anymore...click on babblers anon and you can get brandyjacks list for july 15th...will come back with the section
sorry i just realised that it was yesterdays grid, someone slap me, i really am off an a great start.
ok ta ill do that, darn shame too if he has quit. Ill check that out. The 12 year old isn't mine, my partners housemates nephew and might i say pain in the butt
her, babbblers anon, click on general, there will be the stats for July 15th....i miss lickety too
Just jump in, you will find lots and lots of words on your own today. Great endings and prefixes.
Mass email to him? I am diving in today s list im just about the strangle the problem child
hi sprite!!
We will all miss him, but he is entitled to a break. Hey annie!
Fireworks! Last two were stupid, simple T4s that I should have found long before the harder ones... only didn't... so they took me ages, grey hair and a tantrum or two.
yay!!
congrats, sprite!!**!!
Okay, time for me to go. Glad you got your last words sprite.
yah sprite. I know lickety works hard, thanks brandyjack, i guess hes been and gone for the night?
darn just snapped my fav 60's hair do clip
opps wrong box
Any last minute clues before I go and pretend to be a mother, wife, housewife and other things?
i think i might try to get this thanks sprite
for the hint
yes sprite, can you clue the ce 7/36? i dont like ce words
ce7/36 past tense of ce6/21 and sounding like a 'cutting' word. Now I really am off.
Ce7 is past tense of Ce6/21, Ce + Ra4/4 - Ra5/12
thanks Haz!!
and sprite!
Hi all. Newbie here. Can anyone tell me where to find out about the Tiles Stats boxes. Not in the help section
I'm still working on these blasted p words.
scroll down and click on babblers anon, then click on general and get the stats for today
What do you want to know about them, Angb? And welcome to babble.
hi Angb
The stats show how many words there are that begin with each letter, and how many words of each letter length (you'll lose those in a couple of weeks if you don't go pro)
Yum, what do they stand for? I can figure out the word stats i.e. so many words of 5 letters. But what does C 6/15 mean?
is the x actually usefull today or is it till filler?
That there are 15 words starting from that C, and you found 6 so far.
It is used, more than once even, mistress.
i found one word so far uses X
Oh, confused. Of course there are double ups of some letters!!! Now I see the pattern. Why I do word puzzles not number puzzles LOL
I've not found any that use the x...
Angb the meaning is say the word is cats: that is ca 4/4 which means it stats with ca is 4 letters long and equals 4 points, each letter in that is only worth one point
Hehe, Angb, to torture another side of your brain of course! matty and As: a kind of obsolete communication and paint.
Got the communication ( I always miss that one ) - paint?
Angb if you look at the x tile its worth 6 points so if there was the word xray it would be xa 4/9 does that make sense angb
or rubber ... paint or rubber stuff
La5/20: colorless or milky sap of certain plants, such as the poinsettia, that coagulates on exposure to air. Also used for exiting (to some) dresses.
Got it - thanks Sprite and Atalante
brain torture is good, i love these longer puzzles, i can be far away and not be annoyed by the problem child
ExCiting
poinsettia? didn't know that!
thx sprite got that!
Now that was a freudian slip, wasn't it? LOL
hehe
um how come in my bottom grid the x doesn't exsist
Because no words start with X today, mistress.
Sorry, but I can't cope with large grids, (and almost 300 is large). Maybe in the winter when there is nothing else to do, but the sun is shining, for goodness skae
Its winter here.
ok i thought that the tile stats was for all the letters when they are used
winter here and its been 9 degress all day
it's raining here. a huge downpur outside
Especially when there are so many Re-words in it, right ExWren :)
but the sun shines as it rains :)
why can i see exicuted
as where are u
Any help on the de 7/48?
oh poo poor wren i just saw how many re words there are today
mistress, i'm in india (bangalore)

the sun is shining? send some of it down to kent, ex-wren!!
ARB: make past tense for the 9.

matty: Re7/44 and 9/84: when you stand before a mirror, your image is Re9. De7 and 9: same with De.
thats not good on water restrictions they powers that be are talking aobut uppin our stage 2 water restrictions which i think they should do before summer cause who needs to water the garden often in winter
we've had less rain than the margins of the Sahara this year, according to the news
Thanks sprite! Sometimes I'm blind to the obvious.
thanks Sprite, four more words!
We all are, matty. I am always glad to see I am not the only one, lol.

can someone tell me what is the worst group of letters to do today?
purl, matty
I have one L I can't find--la 5/10 before the group of 'tardy' words
hello!

Phantom Word - Cello.
oooh a day game under lights...what a hoot.. but just wait til its winter here again...ill be under street lights at 4:45pm..*sigh*

Man's name, Atlante?
one of the 3 stooges, I *think*. or Mr Grayson
Ta!
mistress...we'll be back in aus for a holiday in 3 weeks... so could you pls order fine weather in melbourne for three weeks time...
am I right with the 3 stooges? don't want to direct people wrongly!
yes atalante
rolin the weather is a byo think
thank you :)
TY--another one of those words for which there is "no entry" in the dictionary.
Is there still a list of any sort?
well we have bright sun blue sky and 24 degrees...would that be ok?
BJ's stats
I still only have 47 ps...
Go to Bablers Anon, click on stats, Matty
palt
Ooops. Sorry.
7 more than me matty...
At least you might have entered one that worked, Matty!
add er to it sue
another phantom = palfrey
Sorry Sue! How many Ps do you need?
rolin its a hoot when you can't even see the rialto towers from richmond and the g was misty as and very cold
phantom--corral
dale
oooppps
phantom=cereal ?
phantom:excecute
sorry
oooh yuk...thats not good...we are spending a week in the south and 2 weeks up north...its gonna be a nightmare to pack for...
phantom=exude
um i think brandy missed a word
just pack theramals and a decent jacket and youll be right pack lots of light clothes you can layer rolin
brb need to hug the boy
(I've only just started on the P Matty, so I've a way to go yet!)
these Ps are tricksy ....
So I see Ata! Mind, it's these or painting the shed and the Ps seem better.
much better!! mind you, 2 of the Ps would be useful in that painting ...
"Wax on, wax off. Side to side" (Just finished watching the eighties classic Karate Kid)
Not the way I do it Ata! We need "slap it on" and "wipe up the mess"!
What puzzle number is this?
Lickerty is a god.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Lickety did the list after all!
sounds familiar Sue!
I need rain then I've an excuse not to do it!
WOW...thanks Lickety
maybe it was MRP taking over the reins - ? - if so - TY
can I just say that when Lickety can't do the stats - and even when he can - BJ's stats work just as well, and always have done. So check them out as well
Any idea on the AE6/18 and the possibly ae7/32
putting fresh in matty
that would be fresh air
the normal ones matty, put in air and past tense
Yes, Atlante - they do - I tend to copy and paste them into a spreadsheet, onto which I've put conditional formatting so that the cel changes colour when I fill in a word. The only problem is that you have to work out the alphabetically order yourself.
Thanks Atlante - of course - once again, I'm blind as a bat.
I'm just saying for people who may not know they exist :):)
I know - I wanted to let Brandy know he's loved, though ;)
so did I :) we don't say that enough!
WE LOVE YOU BRANDY!! :D
that probably woke him up quite well!
sometimes I surprise myself and make edible food. Am eating remains of vegetable chilli from last night and its gorgeous!
Hiya, everyone!!!!! My God, there's a lot of -ed words today!!!!!!
hi MM!
Hiya mm!
welcome mm
hi
ok im back and if anythng was said that was the problem child
um i think the la 5/8 is missing
you can't have an la5/8 HDM
yes you can
how, hdm?
how?
i am not la 5/ 10 but i am not early
???!!!
Hi hdm - that is a LA 5.10
hey im late
??????
Crikey - a whole load of de 8s...
late is there and its a 5/8 on my list sorry to give away an answer. brb have to get coke out of the key board
you can't have a 5/8, sorry!
Then your list is calibrating incorrectly, look at the tiles' values
Because that would make a five letter word worth four points before doubling.
al5.10 hint pls
change
fish for me - ! - ty ang
al 5/10 - to change
Sorry, I'm new, no idea what I'm doing - except fazing my brain!
um late comes up as 4 letters and 8points is thisright
problem child has trashed the keyb oard
ang - that was a fine answer - 'fish' just means a was too stupid to see it
Stop putting words into the chat box.
Nope, it is doubled
4 letters and 4 points, hdm. each letter is 1 point if you look at the grid
i swear i have 4 letters and 8points forthat word
(here we go again)
you shouldn't do
sorry now my typing is going to be worse as the space bar doesn't work properly
maybe refresh hdm or restart - something is screwy in downtown richmond
I am sure you do, HDM, but look at the grid, the vlaue is one point for each of the tiles, and no doubling occurs for a four letter word. You may have it, but that is not correct as far as the tiles go
opps not 4 sorry but i still cant find it on the list. No the problem child just spilt coke on the keyboard. He go told to go away with coke.
dog walk time. be back la5/*10* ;)
ok that was my error. Um i still cant find the la 5/8 on the list though
have a good walk!
THERE IS NO 5/8. It's impossible.
thats because there ISN'T ONE!!!!
(Time to ignore, I think...)
HDM, it is not possible to have a 5 letter word worth 8 point. The lowest possible value for a 5 lettter word is 10. PERIOD. Do the math
You are probably right, Matty, but I am in a mood and of a mind--my dog may drag me away, though
I used to keep Komondors. They were used to guard against WOLVES.
naughty matty
ok my table must be acting very screwy sorry, im going to refress. I noticed when i stare at the screen it is a 4 letter word that is coming up as a 5 word. No idea why. Theres no need to get snotty. I ment no offence and i was trying to work out what was going on
Nice, I have a small (38 pounds) pit bull who is 12 and awfully cute when not terrier-like, LOL
Well, they were LOL. I've even written about them complete with pictures. They look like old fashioned rag mops. The are still used in hungry to kill and maim wolves, and in the States against coyotes (and wild dogs and the like). They're big!
Sound like Pulis, Matty
Look Up Word la** 5 8 see im not fibbing.Pam what colour is the dog? We cant have pit bulls here as people have made them attack others so now they are banned
Similar - but bigger and always white. Pulis come in black and brown too, and have a higher set to the tail. They are used for herding.
Ahhh, thanks Matty
(AND IT'S STILL BLARDY IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A 5/8 IN BABBLE)
China is brindle. And don't get me started on how morons have made breed bans possible, Show me a bite and I'll show you an irresponsible (at best) owner
And, HDM, I am sorry, but it just ain't possible in babble land to have a 5/8...
The brindle colouring looks so cool.
AR5.10 pls - the last one on licketys list (yeah licketys back!)
it does, Matty, and it grays nicely. She has a r*** asymptomatic lymphoma so every day since early December feels special
I'm struggling with the last 4 DEs - the four after the word that rhymes with a villain from last year's Doctor Who (the series that is showing in the States on Sci-Fi network) the episode with Charles Dickens.
sorry, lynk--don't have
ok i have refreshed and this error has sorted its self out. Pam friend has a Dogue de Bordeaux, french mastiff and its more than likely to drool on you than bite, im more affraid of her biting someone than her dog. My parents have a brindle staffy, 18 kilos and a walking barrel
clues please for the al 4 words, I have the second one
Nice dogs, HDM
If something isn't fake it's ar***
emusing - a smart al**
stupidhead word, matty
Actually it's a r*** thing.
thanks, lynxxx
Pam, is that a clue for me?
Hi all! lynxx the ar is a plot of land
No, it is a response to the ar word you clued
matty - one of those de's is a kind of blue pottery
Ah. I'm now looking for the last to DE5/12 and the de8/45
ok, maybe not such a stupidhead word as a why is that a word, word?
Yah - got the blue pottery now.
OMG, I actually have that 8, Matty! one who d****s
Any help on the de 7/48 -- my last word
last two de's - to stop someone from doing something, and the person doing the stopping
one is greek letter for D
one is to slow progress
wonder why the scoring went screwy?
deterer
de7--it prevents from landing... I hope you are safe, ARB
sorry
ARB - to turn aside
Got 'em - thanks Pam and (inadvertantly) bf!
Pam, yes we are OK. But our daughter, a retired officer has been called back up and her husband hasn't been home in days -- he's an active officer
hey arb i hope your family is ok
Hey ARB - glad you're ok, and fingers crossed for the rest of our family...
OH, ARB, that sucks... I have an old friend who made Aliyah 25 years ago, with 6 kids...one active duty, the others too young
I pray for peace...
(You're not Choclate Lady on Ciao, are your ARB?)
No Matty, but I 'm a chocoholic
eating cashew and choc here
Funny - there's an ex-pat American living in Israel (I'm pretty sure she's American) who loves chocolate on Ciao (and on FWFR)
Is Brandyjack's list a bit in error in the de's?
I'm using lickety's list (which is up, despite rumours to the contrary.)
Hi all...back to do some more......ARB.....I hope you and yours stay safe and well.......and that peace is returned soon!
When I went for a list, Lickety's wasn't up yet.
this is so weird i refreshed and got the right word lenght but not the points, silly thing
anybody got the ea6/21?
Working on it now, Amanda!
arb liketys list is up
And thank you all for your good wishes. We need all the prayers and wishes.
i wish there was peace i have never seen the point in war
point in or of war
Lickety said he wasn't going to do it anymore, but either Pres convinced him of the er5/10 of his ways, or she did it herself.
i htink a gremlin has entered my word list
clue, pleae for the first ce4,5. I have been monkey typing and not getting it.
FIREWORKS !
congrates arb
Arb, my prayers are with you and Israel...I am sending a check soon to the UJF
Congrats ARB! The first ce is a word for people from Scotland or Wales (ish)

emusing - welsh, irish, scottish....
See ya Pam!
YAY ARB!!!

Congratulations ARB ! My prayers for peace in Israel as well.

Don't look, mistress -- it ain't good.
cerate
cerated
wrong box, emusing!
oopps wrong feild!
i hate when i do that. my bad
ARB, sending you and your family many many good wishes--simply stunned by what's happening
EA6/21 anyone?
i have only just glanced at the local news and its not good, that reminds me arb, i have to find out were my mums friends daughter is, she maried an isrelite(pardon spelling) and i don't know if shes moved to there yet or is still in crete
past tense of ea5/10
Huh Unea? The 5/10 is surely a person, not a verb? (I'm probably being a bit thick here)
I don'T get it either, matty....
hmmm
sorry
so sorry--that was the el5/10--major sleep deprivation
i really wish my points list would rectify itself
In many chat boxes/chat rooms etc there is a way you can choose not to see the chat from just certain people if you wish to - you can block them as it were. I wonder if Doc has ever thought of that here (like Epinions has the Block List, so you don't have to read reviews of people you find offensive or just thick).
sorry matty what are you on about?
ea6/21 compound word: what you listen with + what you make when you sit down
ahhh - thanks Une!
Ahh - thanks Unea! What does it mean?
yw :-)
it's a weird spelling of the word for the part of a winter hat that covers each listening organ
Unea is that like the hats with the flaps?
I have visions of a very strangely shaped part of the body LOL (listening organs with legs - just imagine)
i was trying to avoid using a word in the grid, mistress, but yes
:-D
hey i wasn't being rude. i call them yak herder beanies
:)_
et5/12?
kind of like a day of the Tour de France, matty
french word for step or stage
What, sleep inucing LOL (sorry to biking fans)
good clue, amanda
can i have a clue for the da 5/12 and note the d....r
opps not
et 5/12 e + ta 4/5
s it going to see if my readers are in my bag
ok i don't have the ta arb
Thanks ARB!
scotch ta**
If you want to seal a box you ta-- it close with scotch ta--
grr ta ill keep monkeying it

ok sorry to be a bit dense but can i have the clue for da 5/12 i cant monkey it
which one, mistress? there are 2
ok not the one ending in r
past tense of da4/5
oops, wrong one--
someone who da4/5
da 5/12 -- Fashion experts might say that certain styles of clothing are outda****.
da5/12 - one who challenges or one who has a rendezvous
Wait, that's 5/14. Oops.
euterpe, glad it's not just me! :-D
It's so easy to get them mixed up! :P
um ok i have the d...r but not the other one sorry im not following getting late here and close to sleepy time
they both end in "r"
clues for the last de 5's (2) and de 4, please
the person who says: "I da** you to try it!"
Both da 5/12's end that way. And both are the person who does da 4/5.
thats the one une thank you lots
i think i forgot that one sorry
let's make a dope ....
emusing, do you have the de5 that's an airline?
de 5/12 -- letter in the Greek alphabet
no, but now i do, ty
yw!
de 5/12 -- to prevent someone from doing something
i think i have that one, is that the last de5? or i am not seeing it?
Emusing, it is
it is a de 5/18
i have refreshed twice and my list is still double pointing and i have no idea why
perhaps you should reboot and try again tomorrow
emusing - de 4/8 is found in the lower right corner using the 4 point letter. The de 5/18 adds a consonant to the end of the 4/8 word
Good idea chiley!
thanks arb!
good point chilly for me and the computor. cant do that yet until the spare room is empty of party
can i have the al 4/5 please
hdm - a copier
al4/5 is Mr. Baldwin or Mr. Guiness
thanks, arb, i found them!
And my glasses are playing up
Did you know, Unea, that Adam Baldwin is not related to the easy al4/5?
what? who's Adam Baldwin?
Have you seen Serenity?
Or Firefly?
Mistress, try at least rebooting your computer.
ta une i think i need a slap for not seeing that. I cant belive that there are many re 9 letter words
nope, sorry
arb i think the computor through a fit when child jumped on
Aah. Children can be a blessing (or not).
ah, matty, just googled him--saw him in several episodes of X-Files
Oh, was he? I didn't know. Mind you, it seems everyone's been in the X-Files at some point or another.
ARB i don't have nor do i want children its my friends nephew who also spilt coke on the key board stuffing up the space bar.
ARB, are you okay where you are????
IMDB has him in 5-6 episodes
(that's a relief) - a bunch of actors who appear in Stargate SG-1 have been in the X-Files...and from Buffy, I think. X-Files used to be filmed in Vancouver (for the first five seasons, I think).
Annie, yes, we are in Tel Aviv. So, so far OK. The warnings here are for a radius of 70 kilometers frpm the Lebanese and Gaza borders
yep, for the atmospher
atmosphere
matty what do you think about the farscape main characters being in stargate and still being relatively simalar?
ARB, glad to hear that you and family are safe.
Safe is a relative thing. My daughter and so-in-law are officers.
prayers for you arb.
son-in-law
ARB, yes, it is a relative thing esp. over there. i will pray for you and your family and everyone else there.
Thank you all. Your prayers are appreciated.
clue for el 5/12, please?
el 5/12 -- when you vote you el*** someone.
can i get a clue please for ar 5 /10 and not the one with lots of vowels
That's me for a while, I think. I've 60 left - and am stuck on what are no doubt easy lo5/10 and lo6/18, so think I'll take a wee break.
i am just blind to that e point letter. thanks you!!
I hate it when I feel like I'm at the point where I'm asking for every word clued. It's embarassing for me and irritating for everyone else.
ar 5/10 -- a + re 4/4
The lo 6/18 is a brand name for cosmetics, I think
I guess it must also mean something to be in the grid lol
because you're worth it, matty
Bis spaeter, guys! (how to avoid using a word in the grid)
Matty, it does mean something (about birds, I think). I was just trying to give a clever clue.
tchuess, matty!
what the heck is your problem matty i asked for a clue and your being rude
fine if you don't want to answer but all i have asked you all night is your opinion on sg-1
Excellent clue, ARB (and what I wrote was in German -nothing rude)
Just got on. Is the grid easy? So far, every word I have has two or three "spin offs!" Gruss Gott.
oh and thank you matty for making a new person fell like an idiot just because they asked for a clue
Hello all. Looks like a nice one.
or maybe I meant Mein Gott!
hi kirsta!
Hi shutter..we're both back here early, aren't we?
Ja - genau - ich habe "Mein Gott" gedanken wenn ich das Grid gesehen habe (es tut mir leid - meine Deutsch ist jetzt furchbar - ich habe fast kein Deutsch gesprochen oder geschrieben seit 1988)
I only have 4 wods so far and one is a 7 letter one. (I just started thats why I only have 4 )
Ich habe auch 'Mein Gott' gedenken wenn ich das Schlecte Wolf gesehen habe. Schada.
dafuer ist es gar nicht schlecht, Matty - but we shouldn't do much of this, or we might get in trouble!
yeah krista, I usually am not here this early. but, since it is saturday..........
OK - aber bis spaeter - the Times calls.
Uh...let's see..."Ich spreche nu ein bischen Deutsch..." But I understood what you wrote.
please stop, I dont know german!!!!
um so can i please have a clue for the ar 5/10 not the one with many vowels or am i going to be rudely told that its embarassing to ask and its irratating to others
good morning everyone!!!
vhange the last letter of the one with lots of vowels, hdm
no,no, herd. You can ask anytime. I dont have that yet though, so I cant clue it but maybe someone else can.
everyone here asks for clues too!
herk, ar4/4 + cross letter
cant help with a clue mistress as i dont have that one yet - but its not irritating or embarrasing to ask - we are all friendly here on babble
ok thanks amanda and shutter. I keep looking at that cluster and seeing a mass of letters but no words
i mean not that letter but a consonant a bit bforit
hi mistress: if you are neweer you may want to check out the links at the pages bottom for angelsong's page, etc. sometimes i have to use a helper rather thanasking for clues...sometimes the chat just moves too quickly
ta temple ill keep that in mind
and sometimes i just don't feel - wel - chatyy.... but hi all - have been lurking and am going now - see you later!
YES!!!!!! licketys is still here!!!!!!!!
and btw, hdm, I think matty was talking about being irritated at herself, not at others
herdarkmistress, I think Matty was talking about herself, not you in her message
and why eouldn't he be?
because licketys list was supposed to be being stopped today :(
gosh my fingers are still asleep!
didnt you hear that?
oh ok, not taking that personaly i was wondering?
no - licketry was on yesterday and no mention - what happened?
likety's list stopped forever?
why? why?
I didn't hear that one either! Why oh why?!
um ok amanda do you want to retype that clue as i think it was a bit garbled
thats what I heard last night. because he doesnt have time for it. but mrpresident and atalante are trying to take over.
likety is back i think he/she had a brake
well...THAT would put a little wrinkle in this game, wouldn't it? not sure that's a bad thing...
ferrate
i am soorrrry!
ar5 - change the last letter of the one with lots of vowels; it's a plot of land
thanks a lot!!!!!
nice word!
I would have never found that.
oh ok ill ill monkey it, sorry if there is a lack of gaps in my words
got to run- have fun all and happy babbling! play nice, now!
It must be middleaged perimenopausey forgetfulness to forget to move the cursor
lol.
ner i still cant get it
think brain think
ar5 - like a TV antenna or a Shakespearean character, spelled differently
ok thats offical i need a slap in the head. i Had the darn think all along and i forgot to cross it off my list
thank you all for putting up with me and that is a great clue amanda
mistress: sometimes it helps to write it down and come back to it later...there are a lot of words to find today
vanished *poof*
i guess i need better glasses as the ones im wearing at the moment aren't working. Temple i have liketys list beside me and i forgot to cross it off, i am such a dolt
happens to the best of us, hdm, especially when the grid is so big
i just stepped away so i could look at cuteoverload. be much happier when keyboard wants to work
ok thats it im tackling the re words
arr the sound of silence
afternoon all :) ...238 still to find...
hi sherb
afternoon sherb on 57 here and going to loose hair over the re words
hi Annie and hdm :)
the re's actually aren't too bad - lots of them use words you've already got
hi sherb
hi amandacath :)
not to mention that you can change the endings on most of the re words to make more.
ok ill remember that its midnight here so its night night for me
morning all.
hi charm
hi charm
hi Charm :)
Hey amandacath, Annieb. stuck.
Hi sherb.
night all
night hdm!
Night hdm.
nite
hey sherb, i adore jack vettriano!
hey sherb, i adore jack vettriano!
hi nutty :) ...he's great...
oop! he he
loks like you've started a new line in homemade icons nut...
i have two prints in my home, but i want MORE
i didn't even make fligger! i found him!
no!! ...wonder what the story is...
anybody got the very last te6/18?
welll...i made one up for him in my bio.
amanda - sounds like the thing you write with pen and paper (before email, that is ...)
thanks sherb - there are just too many directions to go in this one!
any clues for the 9's?
yep, I'm going round in circles with all these Rs, Ls, Ds and Es ...
hven't got to those yet, Eva...
usually those long ones are pretty obvious but not this time.
re9 = you see your face re******* in the mirror.
spoke too soon... one 9 is an re9/84... the past tense of what a mirror does...
de9 is similar to that re9.
re9/84 - past tense of word meaning either to think upon, or bounce back light.
FINISHED IT!!!!! Although Lickety did most of the work, I must admit... 9s: ricocheted, mirrored
ask and ye shall receive. Thanks so much guys!
I'm flying though, just checking that HDM (ShadowWolf as was) is gone.
Hello, Babblers! How many words today?
and I'm off - dinner's just about ready...
bye.
bye amanda, hi liz
Hey Haz.
295 liz
ouch! Thanks Eva.
Good Luck, All!
my neck is starting to hurt so time for a long break. Hard to tear myself away from this one. Back later.
Hello Charm - it's a fun grid today, but I'm going to force myself to put the groceries away before minding my last109. See you later!
later, haz
I'll probably still be here 'later' Haz....
and eva
later Haz...
Good day, folks. Looks like some work for us today!
hello, artlady
artlady!!!!!
today lickety clues are back anyone know if its daily or just until a replacement can be found ,thank you
hi artlady :)
Hey 'nut, sherb!
Lovely flowers, Annie.
thank you, artlady. I am so computer illiterate. I would love to change my icon to re***** the day's theme but I dont know how. I also would like to have the list near the grid but cant do that either. oh dear!
Yvo, I don't know. MrPrez said she might try to keep his clues going. Time is the issue, I guess.
Annie, I used to change my icon, but I'd rather spend the time babbling. I got too fussy with it. (the icon changing...well, the babbling, too!)
anyone out there to give me the info how to get the list near the grid. thank you!!1
isn't your list next to your grid Annie?
Thank you artlady,hope it stays,lost without it for the 4 letter words list but i use Brandyjacks it was there this morning early
The list of words, yes. I wasnt clear, I meant Lickety's list, sherb
you can open Lickety's list in another window, then minimise it (click the button next to the X in the top right corner) then drag the edges of the box until it fits where you want it to on the screen... or you can just click toggle between the two screens using the bar at the bottom of the screen...
sherb, going to try now, thank you
I just have several windows open at the same time - Babble, a2z and Lickety - and toggle between them...
same here.
sherb, I wrote down your instructions and tried and failed. It is ME. going to save your instructions and will get someone to help me. Would you like to come and help, will make coffee or, if you prefer, tea. I'm embarrassed ....just cant do it.
finally done the R's... quick break...
Sherb....I find thats the easiest way for me too....
okay guys, i'm properly lighthoused up.
Lighthoused, 'nut?
Don't be embarassed Annie....we all have to learn at some point....and we have all been where you are now!!!
Its only ever easy when you know how!!!
thanks, flask!
Annie - New York City ...you bet I'd like to come and help!! ...but in the meantime, try just opening Lickety in another window... (it took me ages to learn all this too!)... :)
Annie, what browser are you using?
la4/4????
Sherb, like your icon, too!
sherb, what do you mean by "another window"
artlady, what is a "browser"
this is how dumb I am about all this
oh, never mind. just blind
How are you viewing everything online? Internet Explorer, Netscape, America Online...
AOL
oh, so AOL is my browser, thanks
Ok, so am I. Go up to "file" at the top and click on "new", then "New web window."
A new window with babble with appear on top of your current window.
Annie - like when you start Babble, that's called opening a window... just do it again, but open Lickety's list in the second one... then you should get a button at the bottom of the screen that says Babble and one that says Lickety's list and you can click on them to switch between the two windows...
The problem is, with AOL, you can't just open up a new window and tab between them like sherb says (sorry, sherb)
I was thinking the same ART
Annie, down at the bottom you should have a little button that says "Window (2)" if you have 2 windows opoen.
er... sorry Annie... I'm an AOL ignoramous...
charm, thanks for being blind. made me see the word again and it helped me get the pr7.....
okay, going to try now or is there another route I can take
Also, up at the top one of the words is "Window" and if you click on i t it will show you your open windows.
Totally confused yet??
Hey, BrandyJack! You've been quite the topic of conversation lately.
okay
Annie, do you have 2 Babble windows yet?
hi brandyjack :) ...your list must have had a lot of hits today...
thanks, BJ - you gave me the pr!
now for that break... back in a bit...
BJ, I always use your list. Started with it and am a creature of habit. Thank you so much for doing it.
What did I do this time?
It's just with Lickity's list ending (most likely) people are panicking and others are reminding them that your list has been then for a long time.
So it's a GOOD talking!
Especially for those of us who rely on the lists after a while (sometimes a rather short while...)
How do access BJ's list?
sherb and artlady, will save instructions for a more savvy person than I am. thanks!
I know the long way. Does someone have the short url for Flask?
No problem, Annie. Just enjoy Babbling!
http://p105.ezboard.com/fbabblersanony mousfrm2.showMessage?topicID=6.topic
always do, artlady!
Yeah, that's the long one. yesterday someone had a "tinyurl" address that jumped right to it.
My trial period expired...how many words are there today?
the game allows 'phat' but rejects utero.... Although the term most likely is used as 'in utero', it is still more common of use than those ridiculous hip-hop terms...
sorry. missed the chat yesterday.
295 words.
thanks
Come on, Atticus. Help support a nice young man and upgrade...

de6/24 = de + l4/5 (follow the l***er).

Thanks to you too, Aloysius. Am I right in thinking yesterday's scare about Lckety's list is over?
nice to be back... i'm not able to babble for the last 2 days... :(
bye... i hate to leave when i'm not finished; i am sooo additcted to this game... must... leave ... now
this is annoying, I don't know ANY words with ae...

Good to have you back, chyna. I was prevented from babbling for three days and it seemed like thirty
what you do to your lawn ae
ok, one last post... to fill with air and the past tense
sure you do, fried. what people do to their lawns by making little holes in the soil..
I dunno, hetty... I have been using BJ's list forever..
that was for teh ae 6 & 7
I stareted out wih lickety and I'm sad to say I haven't looked at BJ's--though I very much liked what I saw of him in the log this a.m.
Lickety has a list up today.
I started out with BJ and then later discovered Lickity. Like his boxes, tho I usually just print out the list.
I think it is important to addicted Babblers like myself that there be two lists, because Life Happens, and what if one can not be posted for some reason or another?
any clues for the de words after de9/90? plz and ty
I know a lot of people like the boxes, but I find them distracting...
where do I find the BJ list?
I like the fact that lickety's will place the words alphabetically, so I know what I'm looking for.
Babblers Anonymous link below
aaah -- thank you
any clue for du 7?
past tense of singing word
kkiln that was for you
there are 12 de words after de9/90...
Thanks sudo...but that does not work for me...it is a normal past tense?
"I was there when Pavarotti and Sills du***** "
yes aloy i need ten of them and am stuck
and what is de 9/90 pray tell?
Duh....found my problem...thanks Sudokuaddict.
if you are a de** cluer, i can get it
also, the dutch city is in there... + the dutch city minus its last letter
sudoku, when you remove something you de**** it and past tense of that too
If it's not re******* in the mirror, it's de******* by the wall
ah thanks
also WITH the last letter, Dorens
when a ball is knocked away from the goal, it is de*******
Morning all!

This may also been mentioned in here, but Iam going to tell you anyway.

Hi mrp
So what's the deal with Lickety's list today?
morning mrpresident
flatter
sorry --- sorry
morning mrp :)
It's contagious today, Erda.
A babbler nmed Gwen (not sure of her exact name here, because there is more than one babbler nnamed Gwen) died on Wednesday, some 2 weeks after cardiac by[ass surgery. I know she used to post quite a bit easrly lst fall, but I don't know if she still did or not. I DO know that she babbled everyday, and loved the game.
That's horrible. How did you find out, swmbo?
I'm very sorry to hear that, She.
lol, artlady
Sorry for the typos, it posted before i could proof read it.
that's so sad swmbo
She and I and a few other babblers all belong to another message board community. Cat2, Cadfan, Moozey to name a few. I have known them all cyberly for about 7 years. We all started babblimg at about the same time. As you can imagine, it has been a huge blow to our community.
Wow. =(
Anyway, I wanted the babblers to know. I will also make an announcement at babbler's Anon
So sorry to hear about Gwen... may she rest in peace! She was well loved and will be missed.
I cant find pasttense for the pair singing together
Don't forget to double the t in the middle.
hetty- double the consonant.
hetty -- you need to add another cross letter.
26 to go. I'll be back later tonight after work. *going to be late*
pretty helpful people :P
mrpersident, so she did post still/
yay! ony 242 left!
Thankskkiln. Of course! Takes two to sing one of these
Is that the Gwen who posted under her own name? I remember her.
Bye everyone.
swmbo, she did a few times
de4/8 anyone? i'm still stuck on the de's (last ones anyway)
Ok, time for that coffee I promised myself 3 hours ago... bbl.
Yes, she posted as Gwen, but it may have been Gwen2 or some other small difference becasue there was more than one Gwen in here
there is Gwenski
SA, it's a type of mine..also take one letter off the de 5/18 (type of china)
She was a marvelous person, funny and generous. Anyway, Babble on, I know she'd want you to LOL
de4/8 - to be quick and precise
Sudo, I think the d8 is beginning of the verb meaning to wipe out
I remember her posting as Gwen and she was really nice!
Hi all She might have been Gwen with the penguin profile ranked 1308 in the elders? Thanks for letting us know swmbo.
Or de4/8 d plus an imaginary woodland/Santa's grotto creature.
mrp, did you take over lisketys?
Well--it's a Haz! Hullo there darlin!She's gfort it for you, Sudo---ad for me too!
sorry penguin icon not profile
Hello hetty - are you well?
ty i got a few off those clues
YES! I thnk the penquin was hers!
trying to... am attempting to do the solver now
cause I see it is still up.
Thanks, Haz, I'm recovering and fairly comfortable today. Yestereday was bad--all the babble clues seemed to be about pee and catheters!
forgive my slow pace, but it is 2.30am here...
hetty, i've obviously missed out on you being ill! I'm glad to hear you're on the road to recovery.
thats okay mrp.
MrP you do know that likcety posted today after all?
someone's got the du 6/24?
Hey Haz - are you getting the better of the grid yet?
never mind
he did!?? great!!
I fell asleep on the computer and he put me to bed so I never asked if he did it or not!
fried to fight with pistols
Hello Fmitch - I'm enjoying this grid very much. I've got 85 to go.
WTG Haz!!!
already found it sudoku, but thanx
he posted a few hours ago mrp... he's a hero...
and actually it's a person who fights with pistols...
excellent!! I can go back to bed!!
yeah sorry short typing
Night night MrP
you can sleep tight mrp... all's well in Babbleland with Lickety and BJ looking after us...
Sleep well mrpresident!
any of the long fe's ? fe 6 or 7...there are so many of them.
sleep well, Mr.P
Hi there, FMitch.. long time, no chat! Good to see you. Are you finished?
kkiln past tense of fe4/7
fe6/27 - rhymes with what Polly put on.
fe6/33 - ancient land owning and class system
thanks, nite!
fe7/40 - relating to iron, fe6/27 a cowardy-custard
Greetings Aloy, you missed me! Good to see you too. Don't want to shock you but havent played today - too big and had other commitments but it sounds like a good one.
Other commitments, FMitch? Babble doesn't come first???
fe 7/40 sounda kinda like the rodent only changed a little at the end.
gasp, I am shocked! So, I know your other commitments are indeed a priority..
Dear artlady of course it does but I have to pretend to my BF that things like going to BBQ's etc are more important LOL
ia the x ever used at all?
te5/20 uses it
ys, shutter, at the ends
thanks, and now I see a word.
Actually it was so hot out there we came home a bit early and whats the first thing I did, well 2nd after I got changed was check on babbleland, so am I forgiven?
was there good food at the BBQ?
You are a true babbler.
Haz I still can't get that clue....fe6/27...and fe/7/40
shuttter there's a leather/rubber substitute that uses it too
afternoon babblers!
He Evan
Hi ev! Still morning for 10 minutes here.
fe6/27 - remember the old rhyme 'Polly put the ? on.' Now change the first letter to make Polly in good form.
thanks hetty, thats the one I have. are there any others?
So I haven't completely frittered away the morning...
There was enough food to feed about 150 people and such varieties of things too. And beer and wine and champagne and and yum yum.
Sorry Haz....its the iron one am looking for....got confused....forgive me please!
fe7/40 - first four letters of the type of wheel used at fairgrounds, then past tense of to eat.
umm... but champagne in the heat would do me in very quickly! (-:
Oh really Aloy - here have glass LOL
how's the grid? tough, easy?
The grid is great fun, featherbee.
glug, glug... burp, aahhh.... thanks!
I've navigated through to the last de8, and now I'm stuck there
easy.
big...but quite good Feather!
lots of ed's!
friedp...did you get the du 624...it is when two people fight and they end up in a du** and one who is participating is a du*****
de8/45 - the one who puts you off something.
great! *dives in*
Thanks everyone for all the FE clues...great help!
hanks Haz. I was sure it had something to do with deuteromy!
artlady, there are no ed words.
and did it hetty?
no, there are many words using ed and er...at the ends.
very easy 7's and so...
oh, ok gottcha.
Well, shall we just say it put me off
You are not supposed to knock it back in one go Aloy - that's probably where you probelm is. Anyway now that I have said Hi to all and check at all is well in babbl land apart from the sad new of Gwen I am going to go and cool down Bye for now and Happy Babbling.
I reckon it would be a good name for an Arnold Scharzenegger type character (The De8/45)
ciao, fm.
later FMitch :)
bye FMitch.. I'm taking a nap now. (-:
yes, he's a terror all right
Bye Fmitch - have a good evening.
and I DIDN'T say a "word"!
No, you didn't, you're right.
no, hetty, but I sure wish you did.
pity though--more phantoms
48 to go and I am exhausted. Taking a break to eat something. BBL
See you inge.
gin and tonic time... later folks :)
Bye sherb.
bye, sherb.
and inge.
bye inge
and sherb!
Haz, there's no sometime vowel in the grid (ea****), so what on earth is the ea6?
hi all
ea6/21 is peculiar, instrument of hearing, followed by one circuit of an athletics track.
Hi jbp--dive in, it's a fun one
Or, you could have the instrument of hearing while sitting on someone's knee.
i'm diving, hetty...
o boy. Cant wait to tell Alan.
85 before I greeted
so, what's up with the c.... and there's not even any cereal?!! (indigantion!_)
The 9's are proving to be a tad elusive, so could any kind folk plz chuck a few cluez in my general direction?
Don't you think that last word should have an "f" in it? Like what we wear in Saskatchewan in winter?
hi, movieman... i only have some 8s... no 9s
de9/90 - the skilful goalkeeper did this to the shot from the footballer, meaning no goal was scored.
yeah, spelling, not my strong suit
re9: my image was re****** in the mirror
yes, the 9's are actually common words!
de9: his shot was de****** at the goal line
Haz looked in the mirror and re9/84 as to how she could clue the re9/84
(they rhyme)
wee, just got 4 8letter REs in a row! that was fun!
Got 'em....ty all......
now y'all have me even more confused.
Well I've been swimming in this water for2 hours with only 94words to show for it, so I'm taking break now for pills and things. Haz, I had minor surgery five days ago. Ouch.
movieman...clue me?
hetty - the dictionary says that it can be spelt with an f, so you're right. It would certainly make more sense,
Or....Haz re9 on how Zidane de9 the other player with his head... (ok, I'm still on World Cup, here)
you a hockey fan jbp? When a shot is partially blocked it is de********
are you alright, Hetty?
Minor surgery obviously isn't minor on the pain front. Hope you feel better soon, hetty.
thanks miller. i didn't get it the first time...
Here's a phantom for y'all......TELETEXT!!!!!!!!
jbp I'm sore, but my cheerfulness is unaffected, ta
and the re9 rhymes with it
You're a little too excited about that Movieman...
thanks!
can anybody clue me for lo5 and lo6?
lo 6 is a brand of shampoo
lo 6 is a brand of shampoo
lo4/4 is an anagram of the ro4/4 played by actors on stage. Add Mr Gore's name to the end.
lo6 makeup name
anyone have a clue for the one u word?
ut - to speak
u word to say somethin
to speak is to ut*** a phrase
so the make up the brand has to do with:s aid of certain feathers of birds, scales of reptiles
alright, I tried every possible 4-letter combination that starts with al, and have found no words, though I should find 4 of 'em...strange
lo5 - remove one letter from the shampoo brand
change and out of the wind
lo5 sounds like Hardy's friend
al4/5 - a man's name, al4/4 double vowel at the end, al4/7 - anagram of the jumping insect
al5/10 - to change.
yes, i got that one
but the ones with 4 letters...
The ones with 4 letters all have the second vowel as the third letter.
jumping insect
this is weird, I thought I already typed those...
i have mr. baldwin, a narrow street with the vowel doubled not the consonant and a + c*** for musical notation...
which am i missing?
al5/10 completes the line up of al words
still missing one of the letter ones
alor
alol
alfe
oops
sorry!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been happening all morning, jbp.
good morning all! {{{jbp}}}
and they word even words!!! just monkeys at the keyboard! (how embarrassing!)

at the ends of words, jb.
stid, stop drooling!
Onyx, I start that way, working without the lists. Then I have to get help from them.
hmmm, ok
onyx, truth is, i'm too anal to deviate from a letter once i start it! i wring every last word i can, then go to the next one
oh like rubber gloves...
more than that one?
yep...one te
linear thinking? what's that? -- my secret is typing fast and trying lots of combinations...
ahhh, that's called monkey typing...it can be quite useful!!
i've learned to type because of babble!!! i almost have the keyboard memorized and can type in the dark
drat, missing one l...
hee, drives my husband nuts when i type while looking him in the eyes when he's talking
hitting a wall with the Ps now...
it's good to keep them a little nuts right?
217 feather.... ??
206 stid
good one, feather. Mine just watches over my shoulder and tells me words. Of course, they're words I've already USED....
oh! *nose to grid*
the bottom row T...any clues?
hee, yeah, that's always fun artlady! mine hates word games, so he doesn't do that...too much
there is a TU 5 that was in yesterday's grid... then past tense I think
no, no past tense
Mine does too. (hates word games) I always beat him. So now we play gin. I'm 6000 points ahead. But who's counting....
lol artlady!
i don't get the tu 5... didn't get it last night, either...

if you help someone learn, that someone is called the tu***

183 feather.
170!
Greetings all. 138 Just printed the list. I see we still have Lickety's list. [cheers] How is everyone?
hi Judy!
tx Aloyisius
hey judy!
Lovely pic, Judy
Hi and bye.. must run now.. happy babbling, all..
Hi, Stid, Feather, Aloy etc.
Hi Judy!
thx artlady. It's taken me 4 years to get the backyard to look like a garden.
Any idea why we still have Lickety's list?
Need a new project? Mine needs help!
Hi, Flask.
i think atalante is helping out maybe
pretty phlox next to the lighthouse! Mine are done blooming now.
Sorry, Artlady. I like doing a LITTLE gardening, not a lot. LOL
like your garder!
thx Stid
I mean garden, of course!!!...lol
oh, another Judy is on line
Thx Flask. I'll have to post more photos. Butterfly bushes, bee balm, sedum, cone flowers, daisies.
hi judy1234!
oy, vey, mind if i call you 123judy?
OMG! Hi, Judy 1234. I have a photo very similar to that. lol
Is that you Judy? I'll have to find mine and scan it in.
I have found that most Judys are around my age - I was born in 1944
You can skip the numbers all together and just call me Judy
Hi Judy123
1952 for me. And I am an official Judy not Judith. I hate the name Judith (apologies to those Judiths out there)
That was the easiest way to get my name
I've found a lot of Kathy's my age. Not so many today, more Kate
Yep. Judy is tough on the internet. Have to come up with some way to distinguish yourself.
I always wanted to be Penny ... why, I have no idea
Where do you live, Penny!
i might do the numbers, just to distinguish you from ciocia judy, who i just call judy
fascination with money perhaps?
Deirdre for me...
Or 1Judy...
Or call me Ciocia
that's why I am stidmama -- haven't run into anyone anywhere that uses this screenname!
or CJ! that would work too
I am Judith - on line I use my middle name more - Martha ... I am in Virginia Beach, Virginia
i havent' seen too many featherbees either
You can call me Ciocia, or you can call me Judy, or you can call me Jude, or you can call me CJ or you can call me . . .
what does it stand for, stid? Mine's what I do, so it's descriptive.
can we call you al?
no feather and stid. You're originals!!
lol feather
I get Jude too
162 stid
hey Jude.....
mine is the first four letters of our last name and my "job title"
More often, lately I get Nanny (7 grand children)
Now it's going to run thru my head all afternoon...
Are you singing, artlady?
yep, artlady, I get a lot of that. And Judy, Judy, Judy
got it stid!
175 feather...
Yep, 1J!
55 and I'm not getting anywhere chatting...(dives back in...)
Cary Grant says he never said that.
good morning everyone! (at least for me)
I must grab a shower and get ready for church. I'll be back later this evening. ooooo artlady I like the 1J. Enjoy ladies.
hi fran!
HI and bye Fran.
I got TWO gray boxes! an L and a T
bye CJ
morning Fran!
bye Judy! see you later.
hey stid!
aww, i only have one, the U
bye
bye Judy, see you later
i haven't even started the grid, is it good or bad so far?
thanks feather, didn't have that yet!
it's super de duper fun fran!
Nice meeting you 1Judy
Lots of common words, Fran
even the 9's!
okay good! going to dive in, talk to you all later!
fran, my proud moment is getting 4 RE words, all 8 letters, within one minute and no help
ooh, ooh, just got a de8!
161 now feather
139
hi, again!
hi all :) is it safe to come back on?
another phantom for me--crap!
hi pam and atalante!
Hi, again Atalante! From whom were you fleeing,
would it not be safe Atalante? did something happen earlier?
seems pretty safe atalante, was there a troll earlier?
hi pam!
why wasn't it safe, ata?
oh une, that's a beautiful pic
*shudder* not a troll ... but someone - shall we say - difficult to deal with
Good afternoon all. Taking a break from the sewing machine to babble
ditto what feather said Une...
oh, ok
hi musicmom!
ahhhh, yess! Many a dog got walked, lol
Hi music mom.
LOL pam
Hi music
I need to take an eyeball break. Back later. :-)
thanks re my icon! :-)
yes! mine did ;)
round about what time atalante?
hi stid - bye stid
any clues for the pe 6 afte the pe8? I have one of them...
bye stid
7ish this morning, EST
too early for hardheadedness, especially since the coffee hadn't brewed yet
ermmmm my late morning ... so about 7 hours ago ish
eeeks, she was on that long? Glad I started only after doing some work...
she was on and on and on and on and on and on and on ...
is this someone we should know of and avoid?
*off thumbing through the log*
Wasn't me:-))
or me. I didn't think difficult people played Babble. At least, not for long...
Wasn't even me, LOL
<tongue firmly in cheek> no artlady we artists are never difficult:-))
ata, are you talking about the person who wanted to be spoonfed every word in the grid?
artlady, they don't. Neither bluntness, sarcasm, nor kindness worked...
I really hate when I reenter words that I have already entered.
Atalante - did you realise who it was?
uhoh - who was it? not .... SW?
who is SW?
who is SW?
or was it the 5/8 word?
Yup - git it in one.
OOh, just read the exchange from earlier. Hints didn't work...how about a large wet mackerel across the face?
Yeah one that sits on the hot counter for a few days:-)
No, artists are flexible, sensitive, creative...stubborn, pigheaded (well, sometimes)
so thats why she was so annoying!
that's what I was saying<G>
ok, who is SW?
no clue here
ok now i'm curious, who's sw? stump witch? slug woman? sausage walker? gossiping minds want to know lol
lol bonk
is it a lupine?
sweet william?
yes, bonkler, they do, LOL
lol bonk!
slug woman sounds about right!
Until recently--mikey--I have played fro almost 2 years without much frustration....
musicmom - you are correct
that's what I thought
Now, I find that the occasional troll gets to me...
very frustrating
Until last fall when all the teenagers logged on (don't mean to offend teenagers) and typed in caps and swore. Thanks to msn.
blocked from the sun over sized dog person
I find I just need to turn the chat off at times when I'm being annoyed
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
LOL bonkler ding ding ding
LOL Bonkler
wel it is babble, so i clued it
Can someone please tell me what the 2 9 letter words are.
?
I mean what they start with
mm--what happens to an image in the mirror--re
de9 what the goalie did to keep the puck out of the net
thanks!!!! Pam
yw
AHA! I forgot to look up!
re9 what the mirror did
re9 what the mirror did when you stood in front of it
you know what there is a c at the top of this grid!
Just thought maybe someone else might have missed that
mm--so I am told, but it has eluded me
LOL -- me too pam
(I won't mention that I have 10 of the 15 words that come off of it)
I have some, the 10 number
But I have hit the wall with it
i liked the C up there....most of the ones i got started with CR
will wait until tonight
Me too featherbee - I just didn't think to put it in the middle of any words
ahhh! hee
i keep trying to type crap...well, i type crap all the time but...never mind. damn phantom craps
hi all. Feather, great icon.
Hi, Shutter
i've got 121 words, and I'm about ready to get the list.
ty shutter!
or dhould I wait?
I don't know shutter. I have 161 left and I'm thinking I need a list
there are a lot of really common words. I went to the list too early.
well, that means I have 174 words left.
i have 171, giving it about 10 more minutes before the list
OH I thought you meant you had 121 remaining
feather, you have that many words, or you have that many left/
i have 172 found, 123 left
shutter careful with the l4 word.
I did it too
oops, me too! lol
well, I guess I'll wait before I start the list then
oops, thanks, I needed that word too!
I want to wait till I have one of the big letters done before getting the list, but that might be a bit optomistic
that's what I was going for too ata. I wanted to finish the f first. Not happening for me though
atalante, are you helping with lickety's list now?
59 p's . . . do we have a babble version of 99 bottles of beer on the wall? . . . "59 words with a p in the grid"
lmao une!
Good Day, Folks! Please read my commentary in Babbler's Anonymous....
if I'm needed to help, I'll help :)
and all 59 are gone!
you've got all the p's artlady? kudos!
where is it chic -- topic?
wow artlady!
bravo artlady - impressive
It's called "A Brief Word" in General
Needed help, tho...
yes, brava!
okay
you monkey around a p word oes down, 58 words with a p on the grid
I have 41 that I am very proud of, lol
excellent, bonkler! :-)
Hi, chic
on my way there...
LOL bondker
okay stepping out to bab anon
Hi Music and Pam!
Nice, chic. I think a lot of people were panicking, used to the assistance.
Chic - that is exactly what we were saying in the log this moring!!
I certainly hope no one criticized him for it!
This morning being UK time that is :)
It's amazing to me that people find time to not only play all the time but to assist the rest of us!
(back to work..)
Yes, all seemed grateful
... and it turned into a do you remember when fest pre pro and pre lists etc
i haven't seen negative criticism of lickety, only regret at the loss of a wonderful resource. i think all understand that lickety has done us a wonderful service, and many have offered to help.
well put, chic!
hello fellow babblers!
Some folks were not kind, I guess. Too codependant...
I missed the "fest' and am glad of it...
Hi, debb!
oh, that's too bad chic. i'm glad i missed those conversations then.
hello everyone, just out of curiosity, what happened to lickety's list?
not kind? that is sad.....
At the risk of being whatever, I do prefer the hint clues to the ex + first and last vowel clues
Well, also consider that Dr. G doesn't make a living on this...not really even enuf to cover his expenses. There's a lot of great people here!
I don't want the word spelled out
OK< enough from me....
Man I am sooooo out of the loop. I didn't know anything was going on. I am never around at the flip. I started by using BJs list and just grab what ever is available.
lickety's been extremely busy lately, and is having trouble keeping up
oh, i see. are people are mad at him for it or something?
I would play even if there weren't lists though I do use them as a time management tool
I don't use them--too much trouble going back and forth...I am inherently lazy. But, I used to look at BrandyJack's count before the revised grid...
Thanks for your kind words! I told our 'favorite' couple not to let a few rude folk ruin it for them.
chic, I just read your post. I totally agree with you. I was sad to hear about lickety, but totally understand. like I said yesterday, was that babble was actually much more fun before lists and stats. you got as many words as you could, and then sometimes people posted clues in the chat. you did what you could, and it was fun to see who could get the most words. the goal wasnt to get every possible word, it was to get as many as YOU could find.
thank you chic! i would hate for them to feel that the ones being not so kind represented everyone.
exactly, Shutterbug!
I hope that nobody thought I was being unkind.
yes thanks chic - we're very grateful for all they've done
I wish the game had stayed the way it was when it first started. That is, if anybody else has been here that long.
I do use and like the lists, but it was better without stats and lists.
I agree shutterbug
So please respond with your kind words to let them know how much there presence is appreciated.
I can see that shutterbug but many of us started playing recently and the appeal of fireworks is just too great! Many of us don't know a babble pre- bjs list
how long has this game existed shutter?
Things change and evolve, shutter. Sometimes not the way we prefer, but people can always play without the log or hints or anything if they want. I enjoy the community. and the help!
I like the changes, too, though. I just don't like the spelled out clues... But remember, if I finish, it is luck, I don't play to finish...
I dont know
I also think for anal type a personalities the personal compulsion to finish every grid would be less if there weren't stats
but a long time.
That is very true artlady
Over 3 years I think...
I looke dit up this morning debbina - Sept 2003 - you can see under archives.
No one has to use lists, chat, clue or finish. We all have options at our finger tips
aah -- so many games i've missed!! :-) thanks fmitch
I know debbinia - that just makes me sad
I can't hide the chat completely, just my posting, maybe its's a mac thing...And I like the community...
then I've probably been here since it first came out.
how can I hide the chat? I woudl like to but cant figure out how..
Ok, browser spasm. It started September 30, 2003.
no pam. You can hid it. If you click on my friends or who's online you can't see the chatterbox
I just don't like the spoon feeding and that is a subjective thing, and I tend to avert my eyes when those clues appear....
Shutter, you should upgrade! (Ok, I always tell people that becuz I know Jamie!)
I like the community too. I'm weird I even sit and read the log at times when I'm not playing or posting.
I like trying to see how many words I can find on the grid, without the aid of the lists. But, I do enjoy using the lists as a last resort, or when I get stuck. I've used them a few times to finish the grid, and it's not as much fun, really. But, that's just my opinion, and I truly do appreciate the lists and the work behind them. If people want to use the lists all the time, more power to them, but they also need to try to support this game if they can.
Babble the game is not the same without the chat running with it - I think that is what makes it stand out from losts of others
mm---aaahhhhhh, I am not clever enough to figure that out, LOL
click over to who's online link to avoid chatterbox pam
NICE icon, euterpe!
I love the chat. The people here are so nice. -- Thanks Pam! Same to you!
people get different things out of games. some find they can enhance their status (perceived or other wise), some can play for the quality of the play regardless of outcome. i rarely use a list. i also rarely finish and if i do it is a rersult of kindness in the list and begging on my part. antone upset with mr.p and lickety is an ungrateful snot.
Hear, hear, Euterpe.
hear, hear, Bonk!
i couldn't agree more bonkler
AMEN Bonkler
I would love to upgrade. when i ask my mom she just laughs though.
Exactly, bonkler!
tell her you want it for Christmas shutterbug
Yeah, well, shutter you might be the only person who needs to ask mum who plays as a member of the communtiy!
Tell your mom it's only $10 and he's a really nice guy! (I can vouch for the entire family!)
But I dont wan that for my christmas present. she already offered that.
Too cool, Bonkler!
no, tis $14.95 now.
Now now shutter - how badly do you want it?
Oops, sorry. I'm in a time warp...
for a stocking stuffer shutter?
CLoser to $15.00 artlady!
Sorry the mom in me is coming out
not that badly.
What are the benefits of going pro anymore? When I signed up, it was that you got the tile stats and such. Is that still the same?
Well, I upgraded right away and it was only 9.95 then.
artlady - if we pay you can we see a real picture of Jamie?
maybe, debbinlka, but the computer cant fit in my stocking. lol.
Okay how about if you offer to additional chores for it. Work it off?
Yep. plus the cool icon.
Mainly, I went pro to support the game
does he really look like zz top?
a picture of the computer can
at the end of lickety's list is does say $9.95
I probably have one from when he was in grade school...haven't taken any since! Maybe I'll ask his mom!
me too pam
same here, pam
same with me pam - i enjoy it so much - i figured i'd support those who made it
I figure it is cheap entertainment for the amount of time I spend here.
off for a nap...bbl
nah, I already do the chores I need to do. If my mom needs me to do another chore, she just tells me to go do it.
bye, feather
bye featherbee
yeah, I also did it for IronSudoku!
Bye, feather.
I don't play that one. Prefer sudoku on paper
Bye feather. Have a nice nap.
I like Samurai Sudoku...but paper is better!
I am never going to finish ... caffeine overload and I get chatty!
BUT negotiation is a good life skill shutterbug. Write a proposal on what you will do in order to get the 15.00
Oh artlady - that would be sooooo good if you could dig out a pic!
I've never played a game of Sudoku in my life. I feel like I'm the only person on earth who hasn't. :P
lol, mm
i am in that club, euterpe
my mom would laugh. and dont worry I negotiate all the time at yard sales.
Euterpe, I resisted for a LOOONNNGGG time. Jamie's mom got me hooked!
My 12 year old has figured this out. She doesn't get paid to do chores and if I want her to do something she has to BUT I am open to proposals to get more babble time
Well, words and letters are more my thing. Numbers make me cringe.
FMitch..if I have one it's at school and I can't get in until mid August becuz of construction. sorry!
I dont get paid to do chores. we are a family, we work together to get things done.
Darn oh wel, I will wait patiently artlady
numbers are work, words are joy --> soduko free
Sounds good, shutter.
Absolutely shutter that is the rule here to, but I also don't just spend money on the girls because they want something. They have to either earn it or take it for a Christmas or birthday present
Haha. Good one bonkler. :)
A mom after my own heart, music!
My students have so many material things that they are spoiled.
well, my mom doesnt either. so, I'll get it when I get money or my mom agrees to buy it. she plays to you know.
Good for her, shutter. Did she register? (giggle, giggle)
I know artlady. I run into it a lot with college students we host. I can't believe how many of them have cars, computers, ipods etc and yet don't know how to do their own laundry
I get money for selling stuff on ebay. when I get the money that I want to spend on babble I will. no, my mom is shutterbug. this is her account. we work together, remember? lol.
Shutter - are you allowed to tell us how old you are? I'm not trying to be voyeuristic so if she doesn't want you telling us that is fine.
I am 13.
Good for you, shutter! I tried to get my kids (and mom) interested, but it's not their thing.
Ahhhh a great age. I'm impressed that you have been babbling for as long as you have then.
i am too shutter - thats awesome
How do we tell one shutter from the other? Confusing!
Debb, I thought you were an adult.
(struggles to find the missing re7...)
my mom is interested but her computer connection is dial up and way slow. My sister and brother in law play. My 12 year old helps me sometimes.
you cant artlady. my mom almost never posts anyway.
okay I have got to go back to the grid now. <virtually zipping my lips>
we used to play, then we stopped for a while because dial up was too slow. now we have cable, and started playing again.
One more thing shutter- thank you for using proper grammar and spelling words out. I get tired of text speak that so many teen suse.
Wow. I'm on dial-up and I find the game just fine.
I have told Sarah if she ever chats while here she has to do that!
me too, I dont like the way some of the otherestalk either.
My mother just got DSL, so maybe she'll start playing. She's out in the country and her connection is really slow.
You are lucky euterpe
Shutter, you do your parents proud!
why?
pass the fish. I just found that re and it was so obvious!
Well, I don't know if I'd consider myself lucky. I just think I'm used to things being slow. :P
Because you are well spoken, polite, and self-ssured
assured
and, on that note, I must go to the store!
See you all tonight
Accept the compliment, shutter. You are a member of a cool community here!
bye.
Ciao, Pam.
Bye pam.
well, I think its because I am homeschooled.
gtg now, bbl.
shutter - because you play the game the way it is meant to and are polite and happy with the log.
bye for now.
bye shutter.
bye shutter
bye, shutter.

yw :-)
congrats, ouwachita!
congrats
congrats, ouw!
wow.......congrats Ouwachita
congrats!! good job
13...
thank you for those pe clues.
gooo artlady
i just can't see f's today!
hi back again... i saw the post about 'trolls' and wondered what the definition was, but had to run out to pick up my son...
hello goob
howdy
i'm actually worried that i might be one... babble chat is my 1st experience with chatting online and i don't even do it that often
believe me, you are not!
whew! how can i ensure that i don't ever become one?
be nice :)
Already sounds like you're on the right road, goob.
Cos if you were you already would be goob so just relax and enjoy
I am still trying to figure out the pe8. abbrev for iron?
ahhhh. i thought it was some babble-related impropriety. ok... i'll chill.
hi, all.
the chemical term, Betty
hello emusing
hi em
going to go now, good luck to you all
bye MVA
babble is bad for my sleeping patterns... i'm always trying to find excuses to stay up until 1 a.m. [my flip time]... just to see the number of words, of course, and then 'just when i think i'm out, they pull me back in"... the words, of course!
lol.....join the club, goob
O.K. I'll admit I'm a dummy. What is the abbr for iron? Sorry & thanks.
Well, that does it. I've spent far too much time on this today, but it was lovely. Done and off to do my own chores!
ha ha goob - woulds like me too - although he flip is at 10pm for me
fe betty
Okay I must go now. My battery is almost gone. I'll be back later probably.
not dumb at all Betty........the first 3 letters of a minklike animal...***ret
LOL goob. I felreally lucky cos flip time is 6am here in the UK which is great - time to look at the grid and still get on with the day!
Thanks kalea and for the kind words. I enjoy this game so much but I'm not very good at it. Thanks again.
Good afternoon all. Just finished my nap and looking now at 164 big ones to tackle.Thanks for the chat about dear lickety; good toknow the support is there for him.
betty - it's just practice - keep playing!
but if it were 6 am, i'd be late for my morning stuff every day! I'd be obsessed with the words i had missed... i'd have to print the grid and carry it with me throughout the day, sneak peaks at inopportune moments, and generally be useless to all!
hi hetty -- how are you feeling today???
You have all been so kind. I will certainly keep trying.
lol Betty.........so many of the words are not words any one would actually know, so no shame in needing clues
lol goob!
Bit woozy, deb, but on the mend I'm sure; thanks for asking
hello hetty........feeling better, i hope?
LOL goob
Lol, goob. That sounds like me. I was up early this morning playing and I went to go back to sleep for a bit and my mind was still going over the grid. I was coming up with words in my bed. :P
that pe 8 takes the cake!
Then of course I came back, and only one of them actually existed. Eesh. Sleep-babbling. Need help! :P
and thank you too, kalea. What's this about a cake-eating "p"?
hi everyone
wah! gotta run again... my son needs me! hopefully, i'll be back to finish some time before the 'flippin' end of the day... pun intended!
hello saph
mmmmmmmm........caaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkke
Cake? Where!? -- Hello saphyre!

Thanks. And points total?
hi all, just joining chat with 59 to go
hello nrk
I have no clue whever. I can tell you how many points I have, not very helpful, though! :P

TO says the pe8 takes the cake. Nothing left for the rest fo you, sorry
hiya nrkii and evan - wow - people pouring in here!
5038
nut nut nut nut nut nut nut nut nut nut nut nut nut
Good stuff, thanks!
hi nrkii
Missing 2 words, 36 points.
HI OWL
Hi Haz and all that have just come in!!!
I do believe it's list time -- this grid has been too hard already!
hi fmitch
deplete deplete deplete deplete! There.. Maybe I'll quite trying to enter it now.
That was fast and furious!
nrkii: i waas so last an hour ago the only place i DIDN"T go up there was NJ!
nrkii, do you have the last sneaky fl7/40?
lol cehess
I have ONE fl 7/40... more quick
Hey saphyre
oh, wait, let me find the other...
I've tried at least 6 times so far I think, hehe
the other is to say nice things about someone -
There's another fl7/40 - to charm or make more horizontal
there is another an a cup is fl7/40 than a b cup
haz is a much better cluer than i
oh, so more quick is the last one!
had both actually
hadn't scrolled up far enough in list
advice for this grid: try everyhting as poast tense and comparative
You fl***** e--my cup is D. Thanks for the tips. I couldn't see how to include the "r" Done it now
yep, that I know... only 59 to go, so feel like I've done every past tense, comparative and again form I poss could
help please with tu 7
can anyone help with the re 7/40 and 8/60 combo that's after the guy that fishes?
hey ya t-owl!!!!
could I get help with fr 7?
RENNIEEEEEEEEE
debb, to put air in again (like a tire)
re7/40 is what happens when a balloon is miraculously restored
Any hints for re4,4? Plz?
thanks nrkii and haz
fr 7 is past tense for fr 4/7 worry
nutty buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fr7/44 - a past tense of fr4/7 - worried about something
i likee your pic rennie, makes me hungry!
have a pear nut
oh!!!!!!!!1 renny said a word
yummy!!!
I love when I completely make up a nonsense word, and it works right away
te 6/24
i'm still looking for the damned balloon
(that was the one I made up)
re + not hilly or bumpy + vowel temple
help with tu 7 please?
TO - it's the opposite of de7/44
Haz, just serendipitously discovered the fr7/44. Do you know Hopkins? Shakespeare?" . . .this sky--fr***** with golden fire"
I don't have tu7 yet, nrkii.
i already had it *sigh* i just emailed my freined at havana - she has not come in yet- 0 about tonight's performance
me either nrkii
hetty - Shakespeare is more familiar than Hopkins. I'm planning to attend an open-air production of Twelfth Night next Friday evening!
okay... moved on to te's now...
ce4/5- both of them, please?
one is irishman
the other is like the number 0
ty
hi i'm back for 5 more minutes... only small food crisis for my boy ... i fiddled the tu 7 - its definition is a guardian : it is the boy king + raised train + 2/3 of to be in present tense plural form
Last time I was in England several old school friends reunited at Stratford; we watched Twelfth Night--in which all six of us had played fifty years and more ago, and joined in all the speeches, loud and strong
in the middle of the re list I am missing an re 4/7, right after what you see in the mirror, can someone clue me?
thanks goob!!!
my pleasure... it was a fluke, though, i have to admit!
I played Feste the jester in our school production, quite a few years ago now. I'll be interested to see how much I remember!
inge, sorely missing something... often seen as bere**
goob, not a fluke, just monkey-typing, which is a time-honored tradition here at babble
hetty, that must have been AMAZING!
the "golden fire' speech is Hamlet to Horatio
i like that term much better!
nrkii, your clue escapes me
wb goob, and ty
hey - thanks good!!
Haz,you'll be surprised what comes flooding back. "When that I was and a little tiny boy with a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain..."
inge, rhymes with one of the ways you might turn when driving
does anyone else have to get their babble time in 15 minute time periods? i'm off again; this time until tonight! it's been swell!
Is that not as good as a hanging to you?
inge, re**, someone who has lost someone will usually feel quite be"re**" for some time....
A foolish thing was but a toy? and the rain it raineth every day. How was that?
oops, got that one already, now where is my missing word??? Still looking
But dio youm remember the melody? We'll striv eto please you every day!
Now a nos moutons. help for the fr5., please?
i am missing a p not an r, must be at the end of the day's puzzle. I need to count out my words to see which pe did not get entered.
I do remember the melody, yes. fr5 - to the fr add the word that goes with iron (as in its origins)
Good for you, inge. I have'nt even reached the dreaded p's yet
Come away death--I don't get the origins of iron. An fe word perhaps?
fr + mineral deposit hetty
its like either/** + a vowel
No, the word ends up looking like French for brother, but replace the first vowel in the word.
How embarassing. I forgot to enter a 4 letter pr word!! Now I am hogging the fireworks, thanks for all the help
congrats, inge
yay inge!!!
woohoo, inge!!!!
Thanks Haz and nrii and kalea. What a strrage word. Pop in a "u" between the first 2 letters and I'd understand it
Congratulations inge!
contrats to inge!!
done with my R's thank goodness... 41 to go
What a fur*** good for you, inge
what was the pe6 you randomly typed in, nrkii? was it you? clue please?
sorry, it was a te 6
I'm searching for two pe 6 now...
oh yes - sorry - I meant te6 :P

pe 8 65 just took my monkeys a LOT of bananas...
mrpresident announced last evening that due to pressure of work etc, Lickety couldn't continue to supply the clues page as before. She is trying to work out a compromise, but the clue list is there today.
la5/20 clue, please?
yesterday there was a message that lickety was going to stop the clues because of lack of time, seems
la5/20 material used in making masks.
oh, i dont know how that happened. sorry
(annie sits back up with keyboard markings on her forehead...)
lol
and on her psyche. lol
ahh well I can understand that - it's great that he does the list but I'm sure it must cut in to his time quite a bit\
nrkii, you are so creative and funny

I have the fruit too. My goodness, I didn't notice how many there are. I believe it begins with three letters meaning foot.

So, am I evil to 'new' people (sorry for everyone who wasn't here a few hours ago - I'm alluding to someone from then)....
Way Nay Nrkii!
c'mon matty - u - evil?
er clues?
matty, have you been letting your satanic side show again?
goofball - both having to do with mistakes
Yep, me, apparently LOL. Wolves sometimes need putting down...
one past tense, one a doer of a mistake
er5/10 make a mistake
TERRIBLY evil Matty LOL
I seem to be the official Wolf culler around here lately...
100 more to go w/7+ hrs left
thanks
Right...back to the game (though I'm grinning like a cheshire cat...must remember to drink less before visiting babble) - I have now returned to babble having got the lo6/18 thanks to clues here (because I'm worth it) and now looking for the lo5/10. WARNING - I'm a little squiffy.
he gives wolves a bad name .... such lovely animals!
matty, after you left earlier, people explained to the person in question that you were giving YOURSELF a hard time, not her
I know. I checked. I laughed. Thanks!
Hello - is my connection still working?
it's sometimes hard in the chat because it goes so fast -- I got in trouble the same way one night -- made one person think I had called her ignorant, when I was just using a quote with the word ignorant in it for a clue ... it was a bad moment
yup!
I'm EVIL I tell you :D
Right. A word. Any word. OL6/18 for example. I need to recover from my Pimms and Thai meal. Anyone care to clue?
and I felt horrible about it, even though technically I had done nothing wrong, but just because I had made this person feel so bad
ol 6/18 = ol + vowel + consumed food
That'll be the one, Nrkii. Thanks.
Nrikii., which person was it? That matters, actually.
which person did I make upset?
it was silly - it was over a snl line - you apologized - we all explainedl....
Yep. There's one person here (who masquerades under different names) who may not be all that she seems...
yeah debb, but I still felt bad about it -- even when it's silly, you still don't want to make someone feel like they've just been assaulted, you know?
matty, I don't think it's the same person -- the one I'm speaking of is in UK, but the one you mean I think is in US
of course - but i think a bunch of us explained and she was ok
The one I mean claims to be in Australia...
lol...Matty......and I thought I was the only one who thought like you!!!
who is the masquerader?
to be blunt, she means ShadowWolf ;)
I wasn't there, though, so if I'm speaking out of my backside, I do apologise (really - I'm only evil to a person who deserves it).
Yah - that'll be the one, ATlante and Flask...
intrigue and drama in babbledom...
I'm a nice girl, really! Truly!
LOL atlante!
Where in Jersey are you, Nrkii?
not TOO nice, hopefully matty
How nice should I be?!
I'm in Lambertville, which is on Delaware River north of Philadelphia and Trenton
Mmmm.....but not everyone is......and they're the touble-makers!
Hah! My mum's in Yardley, and my brother in Princeton!
as long as you keep your nails reasonably filed, it's okay if they come out once in a while, I think
are you relo'd to UK or did they relo to US?
(I'm so clearly not going to get many more words today...I'm too squiffy and having too much fun in chat). I married an Englishman Nirkii...I've been in the Uk now for 18 years or so.
I agree nrkii....however, some people just don't believe in the right to reply!!!
thats me finished
yay ruthy!!!
well done Ruthy!

matty what's your favorite literary dragon
Hi again, all!
Crikey - that's a hard question. The Dragonriders of Pern dragons are cool, though the later books in particular get irritating.
what is the word count today please
love the pern books
Smaug (is that his name) from Lord of the Rings is deliciously evil...
295 today...
And of course there are the dragons from Pratchett's "Guards Guards".
yes that's his name and deliciously evil is a great description
thanks pam
I've never read any of terry pratchett
thanks pam
If I had to choose, though, I'd probably be Pern, cuz I'd love to be able to do that.
me too
Where are you Pab?
my favourite dragons are Melanie Rawn's dragons from her Sunrunner books. They are just wonderful
And where's your name from?
Oooh - I've not read teh Sunrunner books and I'm unfamiliar with them - worth a read then?
the sunrunners are really good, a little thick, as in pages, but worth it
definitely. I just love and adore them
I've read lots of thick books - have you read Pullman's "His Dark Materials"?
not yet
wasn't the Hydra a dragon-like animal? (butting in, she asks...)
i thinks so pam with multiple head
heads that is
yep
Oooh - you must - they are super (and you'd have to be a smart kid - as they're meant to be children's books - to get it).) Yah - the hydra was kind of a giant lizard with load of heads, and each head would spawn two more when cut off.
(Kind of like the twilight lupine, thinking about it)
HDM is *wonderful*. really really wonderful! have you read the Abhorsen books, matty?
twilight lupine?
lol--i loved the hydra through my adolescence..Medusa, too...but, i digress...
hey everyone... interesting web site to check out http://www.truemajority.com/oreos/
Me too - Greek mythology in third grade shaped me to a point, I think!
Nope, Atalnte - tell me more!
yep!!! And, the myth of sisyphus.
(Sorry, my typing, thinking and eyesight is deteriorating as time goes by...)
Pab - where are you based - what part of the world?
new york state
older kids books again, Garth Nix. Better (I think) than Pullman or JKR.
Better than Pullman?! That would be good!
good evening Babblers any clues for pe6.24
seems i missed out on a lot as a kid...mayhaps I should catch up soon...
hi, norma
good evening pam
norma--the bells p***** (a past tense)
I think better than Pullman. Definitely a lighter read than Pullman, the cat in them is fantastic and really they are just necessary reading!
can I have a clue for the second de8/65 - got the letting air out one ...
I love cats in fantasy

arghhhh no! I kept trying tthat without enough e's!
then, I can't help, Norma...I am still curious about the insect....
I didn't realise how many pe6/24 there were
http://www.garthnix.co.uk/oldkingdom/d efault.asp
periwinkle - de6/30 is to get rid of fl4/7. Now past tense it.
right with ya pam
ah of course
oh, dear, atalante, i see what you mean about those e's!
pe6.24 - how about pe + da4/5?
I grew up in brooklyn, matty
thanks, Haz, another stupidhead word!
yesss - bad e's! anyway - finished now :) ty haz!
yep, peri, it is!
Does anyone have the second cr7/36? I have the first and third ones, but can't find the second one...thanks.
jeewhiz--the invented synonym?
cr5/14 + Mr. Gore
All three cr7's are past tense.
Oops -- I looked at it wrong. Sorry
no they're not . . .
no prob!
goofy adjective, une! Thanks for that...nevert would have even tried to monkey that!
uber goofy
Thanks for all of the suggestions...some were more helpful than others (lol Gwwenski), but they were definitely good clues.
lol
what's today's theme?
lighthouses
son of a gun, just stumbled onto the de9 90

Thanks Haz and Une...that was it.
yw :-)
Clues for de7/48 & 9/90 to finish my D's?

Wonderful clue!

At last at last I'm free at last :D Will try to pop in later to help with clues if needed ... otherwise see you on the flipside :D happy babbling
"Born to Clue"
congrats, ch1212!!!!!

Way to go ch1212
Does anyone have ea6/21 or el7/32 please?
ea6/21 - organ of hearing (three letters) then one circuit of athletics track.
ea6/21 what you listen with + run a ** around the track
thanks, haz--what kind of word is that 24?
That is a strange one, no wonder that I couldn't see it...thanks.
el7/32 - extend the chosen el5/12 with a double vowel to make it the person chosen.
thanks!
hello....back to see about finding 100 words....it's a big one today--- more r's than I could imagine in one grid
A very strange word, pam!
agreed on the r's--lots of p's, too!
but look how many p's, dorens!!
i know!!!!!!!!!!!!!how insane
i have 35 of them (the p's)...and usually you'd think 35 is a lot, but not today....
same here--39 . . . 20 to go . . .
i'm still stuck back on a couple of f's
hi everyone !
yikes - i left myself 174!
Hi, Helen
hi, helen
hi helen
done with those taxes?
lol dorens - thanks - my bp just went up 10 points!
sorry, i guess that means no?
no, not done, but got all my receipts catagorized, now just need to go through checkbooks for medical & other ded. & i'm done
hi all. I have 125 left.
home stretch...that's good
hi stid!
go stid!
i'm going to change my icon first , brb
Hi all == no time to chat but I wanted to be friendly and say hello in case I need help. I am now playing Speed Babble I have 83 words and only 1 hour. If' I'm not done in an hour - so be it!
go musicmom go!
Thanks stid
best of luck mm
done with the r's and 20 to go
go saphyre go!
thanks doren -- and anyone else I am now officially immersed in the grid
Hi all - 70 to go - grandchildren watching a movie - have 90 minutes to finish!
ohmygod, what a gorgeous picture, puptone!!
go puptone go!
If someone who has navigated the pa's would kindly help me with the last 4 pa6's I'd be grateful. Something I'm missing somewhere
beautiful grandbaby, puptone
Thanx Une - my new grandson (not watching movie!)
froa
The last four pa6 all start with the pa4/4. The first one ends in Mr Gore's name, the second one is a past tense ending and the third pa6/21 rhymes with what people during the war were encouraged to roll out.
9 to go
And hetty, I've just realised that I may have led you up the garden path, mainly because I didn't scroll down far enough in the list. Come back to me if I've clued wrongly.
Go Saphyre!
go saphyre gp
The very last pa6 words relate to someone paying kindly attention to a pet.
ok, 161 left - anyone want to race for inspiration?
I see several pa5's, but no pa4--and I've found 2 of my missing pa6's y recognizing the double letter (slap)
pa4/5 - as in the golf score, but double the consonant
ok, it's 100 degrees and i have no ac - and 9 left to go - haz 0 can ou explain that pa6 about war and rolling out
5 to go
Hi everyone, not playing today, just dropped by to see how you are all doing. I took one look at the re's, and the total to make up my mind
oh no, poor debb !!!! :(((
helen i have 80 to go....not much of a race tho---you'll probably stillbeat me
hi ExWren, It's not an easy grid, but Lickety (or someone) and BJ are up, so it's not impossible.
So thank haz, I pa* you gratefully.
hiya ex wren!
debbinla - it relates to a world war 2 song debbinla. A better clue for a younger generation would be to say it rhymes with what a cooper makes.
go debb go! Go sit on a block of ice!
te6/24 right before the te5/20?
LOL dorens - ok , i guess the impossible is better than nothing - no way will i even come close -but .... ready, set, GO !!
no, i have no way of getting some of these words....but i'll give it a go.....are we allowed to ask for clues if we're racing?
haz -ROFL, that's right - cause this younger generation knows all about coopers!!! LOL
dorens - we sure are! :)
te6/24 - to the previous te4/4 add French you (familiar form)
Now I'm left with just one to find--not what e rolled out, nor what Mr Gore of blessed memory lends his name to, but the other one beginning with Henry V111's Catherine's name
that
hehe helen - and trust me i'm not much younger than ou - just denser
good...i have never raced.....and you're right about coopers!
perfect - thanks Haz. I also would like to thank Grandma for teaching me that WW2 song
helen - how on earth am I going to clue that blessed word!?!
lol - i don't know what coopers make - barrels?
yes
Okay - it rhymes with what beer or wine is stored in.
LOL - uh, sorry, i guessed correctly! - from crosswords!
THANKS all !!! hehe
no, you done good haz!
silly seafaring word, that p word is!
They are also called coopersmiths
or the polka - kids know that from weddings, maybe ?
okay, working from the top is not doing it today. Moving to the end and going backwards!
awesome haz -- i'm not always smart enough for your great clues!!
tu 7/32??
*waiting for gwen's clue*
no ac, debb? In LA? you might as well be back in New York!
te6/24 right before the te5/20? i don't have the te 5/20...
clue?
fireworks
congrats!
gj
yyyayyyyyysaph
huzzah, saphyre!!
YAY Saphyre!
short for tute + rhymes with car tu 7/32
jbp - if federal express did phone service
WTG SAPH !!!!!!!!!
getting a fresh cup of coffee then I'll clue brb
tu7/32 - first three letters as in a private teacher, then the rest of the word is an anagram of the tragic Shakespeare King.
totally - it's absurd! - but i really shouldnt compain cause it's hot all over -- YAYY for SAPTH!
teletter isn't working...
grat clue, haz--got it on the first try!
good clue for the tu haz
supposed to hit 100 this week here in maryland
agreed--good clue, haz thanks
jbp - think point total
I have my storage for beer, and my reminder of mr. gore; please what is the other pa6/21?
That's good pam - I always worry about the anagram ones!
Thanks!
Yeah, debb, it is hot all over but that's like being in Miami without a/c...
Its been 114 here in Phx, AZ
ch1212, The third fl/6 also relates to flowers.
celo
Sorry, wrong bos
That would be 'box'
is the shakespeare king also an le4?
got that TU also, thanks.
humidity is about 100 also - icky out there
reminder of mr gore--I am missing one....groan...
hetty - do you have the french word/prisoner on early release?
Hi, ch1212, the third fl/6 also relates to flowers.
the humidiy makes it so much worse
ahhh saphyre, i remember summer in dc
oh--is it the spoken one?
MM -that's the right King you are thinking of.
no, I didn't have that one; these double letters get me every time. Ta
okay thanks haz
got it!
ok ready to clue -
from this area onyx?
Oops. Yes., Haz, I did--it precedes the Tudor Catherine--I need the one that follows her (and Mr. Gore, and beer receptacle)
i'm still stumped.. fed ex did phone service?
what do you need jbp
The last pa6/21 which I think you're missing is the person being kind to their pet.
e6/24 right before the te5/20? i don't have the te 5/20...
jbp--pre-facsimile, one used a t****,
jbp = add a high scoring letter to the preceding te4
te 4/4 & "_" marks the spot
omg, grouper me!!!
thanks guys
nO hAZ i HAVE THAT--REMEMBERi PA**** YOU AS i DO MY DOG?
lol
ok, so what is this about MR Gore? I am stymied...
oOPS, SORRY ABOUT CAPS.That's better
If it's a pa6/24 then it's Catherine past tensed.
pam - right, that's what they did just before they went to the coopers ,lol
short for tute + rhymes with car tu 7/32??
oh, cod!
I have the tu 7/32... i don't get what rhymes with it tho
thanks, helen!
lol, Pam!!
i don't understand what is short for tute?
and noI want what to do AFTER I've been to the coopers, and before my Tudor queen
crap I need the tu5/12
king tu* & dble vowel
I hate when I think I've finished a tile and I haven't

i don't get the tudor queen reference...
and flosey
yw
okay off to p land
hi, just back from the big city
yw
Thank you Dr.G where ever you are for the scrolling word list !
The order is as follows hetty, pa4/5 (Catherine), pa6/21 Catherine plus Mr Gore, pa6/24, Catherine past tensed, pa6/21, beer container sound alike). After that it goes to bald heads/meat paste etc.
indeed, second that musicmom
hiya flosey ! - which big city is that?
Victoria is our nearest
jbp, that's just me trying to avois using apaword that ends with a double consonant, like the namne of Catherine Pa** one f Henry V111's wives
jbp - the Tudor queen reference is to pa4/5 - the surname of one of Henry VIII's wives.
never been there - but hear it's supposed to be just gorgeous
yes, it is
have you been to bc at all
can you clue the pa ,21 after the word for the thing you put paints on ?
BC is beautiful...........back, by the way
i don't get the tudor one, still...
hi kalea

pa6/21 - p plus a word meaning to change. It's in the grid as al5/10.
i have that one... didn't know it as a last name
aah - thanks soo much haz
so what do I do with it --sorry to be so dense...
My monbkey got it, but I couldn't for the life of me SEE it in the grid till i discovered the hiding "r" Thanks, Haz. More pa**
jbp - you can add Mr Gore's first name to it, you can put a past tense ending on it, and you can put an ending on it that makes it rhyme with the container where beer and wine are kept (as made by coopers)
Glad you got there hetty, it's always an adventure with you!
haz, thanks... ... i cant make paral accepted tho.
i did get the room tho
nor do i get the beer one
There are two r's available for use, jbp.

ok dor - what's for dinner?
fran. who is this cable guy?
he's a comic
all ready sunday here. If i have a lackof gaps inbetween words its cause the problem child spilled coke (i think) on the board
dorens, he's a comedian that started out with jeff foxworthy and now is in movies and all kinds of stuff.
grilled eggplant, portobello mushrooms and some sun-dried tomato/chicken sausage
sounds yummy
herdarkM, wow, that doesn't sound good
don't know him...got a clue for me that would work?
Dorens, he was the voice of the tow truck Mater in Cars.
yum dorens! can you bring us the leftovers?
but let's all head to Dorens' place, 'cause that does sound lovely!
would be delighted.... north jersey anyone?
l + to be 2nd person + double the vowel
Dorens - it's also the name of one of the 3 stooges
dorens can you stuff that down the net? sounds yummy, jbp he has been told not to spill stuff on the computor thats why he got told to sod off
i'm with you jbp!
i can be there in 4 hours dor :)
ok...am outa here....time for my bed....but I managed to get down to 98..........well done to all who finished .....goodnight to you all!

whats up feather
peri - not alive
ok, for starters, i'm a glutton for punishment....i have a new painting project. HOWEVER, it's not the walls! he loves thomas the train stuff, has wooden track, etc. I'm making him a wooden layout board...with painted grass, lakes, streams, etc.
cool feather
sounds like fun feather
tell your husband to paint his own stuff, feather. that's my opinion.
my question is, do i keep it 4 feet by 4 feet, or make it 3 feet by 3 feet? i'm afraid the 4x4 may be too large and unmanageable, yet don't know if 3x3 would be too chintzy/small
lol leslie!!
gwenski, thanks, I was going in the wrong direction
4x4 :)
lol leslie
(lol, the "he" is my son daniel, turning 2 friday!)
hiya feather!
4x4 feather and make sure it's sealed so you can use it for other stuff.
go large its more play fun and hubby can use it (and dont say he wont as all men are the same)
4 x 4
what other stuff you have in mind fran?
i vote for 4x4 too
2nd de6/21
depends where you can set it up, can you leave it up, then big
plus large will be better when the little one gets bigger and wants the smaller trains
wait, i'm defrosting soybeans, i'm not really here...
lol
fe7/40?
more de 4/5
so feather - are you finished with the grid yet?
i'm using two pieces of 2x4 feet wide, and hinging them, so they will fold and slide under the couch
saphyre, thanks yet again
nope fran, 115 left! priiming these boards real quick first, then i'll be in to finish
my ex set up this massive race track that took over the lounge and it wasn't for his little one either.
fe dbl cons & consumed

so i take it the consensus is 4x4!
98 to go
you'll be the coolest mom in the neighborhood, feather
Good Evening to my fellow Babblers! How is everyone?

Good night to you all. See you tomorrow I hope

hey fiz
hi fiz!
hi fiz
ty ping...i thought i tried that, and so was trying other letters for the 6th letter!
yw
hi, im back again
hey annie
hey annie!
Hello TheFiz!How are you? Welcome to today's puzzle!
hi annie
nice lighthouse leslieann!
hi annie
hi annie and fiz
Hi Min! Thanks! You always give the warmest welcomes!
(i finally took a closer look)
TheFiz,don't you have air conditioning in your house?
how about the ar 5? I have the one based on the ar 4.
thanks it is in copper harbor, mi. went on vacation there with a friend several years ago
dorens, done with dinner?
hi LA, fran, feather, ping
johnny, there are two ar 5's based on the 4. just add a different last letter on the end
mmm, yes...it was great.
johhny the other one is the latin plural of the ar4
Min - no - just in the bedroom so I can sleep when it's hot. Global warming's making me reconsider, though...
having brain problems. de6/24, the last one?
Does anyone have a clue for the ce 6/21 word please?
dorens, are you sending leftovers over the net for us?
feather, take the heavy metal out
ce6/21, sounds like a kind of knife
min, to make something
Found 8, hint "e"
sorry min, that was the cr6/21
oh if onluy i could fran, then that wouldmean i could get some of rumplestiltskin's pies,right?
fran, deiron doesn't work, and i can't think of anything else!! lmao...
or jacula's banana cream pie too!!
Featherbee, is it a shorter version of a ce7/36 word?
lol feather, how about main role in a play
i tried derock, feather, that doesn't work either
oh. *smack*
yes min.
fran, remember when i gave you the fe 7/40? well i need the one below it (6/27)
dorens, sounds like wild (animal) but spell it different
and yes, it is min
there are a lot of words in here that were in yesterday's grid
i know LA, wasn't that nice of dr_god?
it must be part of an incentive program - play more, get more words
dorens, middle consonant is doubled and use a different vowel than the actual wild word
i would love to know how the grid is created. does dr god decide where the letters go? does he/she (?) think of a really long word and start with that, then fill in?
ok. got it thanks fran
Hello all - back from bridge and babbling madly to get even half way! Glad to see Lickety's 100th list!
i think dr. g. has claimed he doesn't do anything with it, just lets the comp. come up with it
hi jilli
feather, i imagine that it's randomly generated and then whatever words appear are by chance.
hi jillibus
hey jilli!!

fran- i left & don't know the outcome of that (from personal experience, i put my $ on feather, no slam intended on anyone else)
lol, what a time for me to peek in!
i know what you mean helen!
hey feather! who won?
stid!!!!!
go ahead mistress
i had 5 left, she came from behind!
leslie took a break not long after, so i don't know if she finished
and i was just going to say that stid is pretty speedy herself!
lol feather !!! - so i would have lost that bet too !!! dang!
well leslie wasn't that far behind
i was ahead of her for a long time, then i hit the REs...bogged me down while she breezed by!
I don't know. I don't remember. I have been on & off this thing all day long.I'm at a friend's house now.Not being very sociable. Everybody is outside, I am here!
lol min!
ah, feather, i meant to tell you earlier - i really like your icon & the entire story - that's awesome
one of the first things i said to stid after congratulating her was she had to tell you helen! ;)
sorry i couldn't stay to help! not that i could have helped of course!
oh, it's an amazing picture. you should see it up close.
it was on my wall for years
lol feather - uh-huh, as proof that it can be done!, but like fran said stid is also very fast!

sorry pdb, too many de 8's for me
Nrkii,I need the pa5/12 word after the one you clued
well that's the 5th pa 5/12, and I'm not allowed to give you that one
(kidding, looking)
woohoo pirate term in todays grid. ARRRRRRRRRRR
oh, pa 5 12 = decent score on a hole of golf + **e Majors from 6 million dollar man
I know! Have a reached my limit for clues!Should I let someone else ask for clued for awhile! I am being very selfish
min, I was joking, it's okay
nrk, just checked out some of your blog, i hope you keep posting, should be interesting reading!
no your not min i do it and i got told last night
you think, fran? I don't want it to be boring...
I will be close to finishing at the flip! Will barely finish!
i doubt you could be boring nrk!
So, how about that 5th pa 5/12 word nrkii or anyone?
EA6? may i have clue?
well Ping and Fran, I would consider it a personal favor if every once in a while you checked in and left a comment... so far, all the comments are from one guy who I think has a bit of a crush on me from chatting in another blog... and I feel like it's becoming a little too much ... i dunno... ???
min, I clued it below for you
Actually,I take that back! I won't be close to finishing
mab, what you hear with + segment of a race
earlier clue: oh, pa 5 12 = decent score on a hole of golf + **e Majors from 6 million dollar man
i got 87 words left
i will leave a comment - and i added you to my blogroll too
i'll do that nrk!
I'd rather be far behind at the flip, then almost done.
mab--it's a silly word... what you use to listen with + a *** around the track
thanks! phew, can't tell you what that would mean to me!
gooooo mistress!
of course, nrkii, it is possible that fran and i have crushes on you too
min, did you get the pa 5?
Ping, LOL, I hope so!
lol ping!
i am going fran thats why iim being quiet ish
thanks franmag :)
yw mab!
mab, i love your icon!
working from liketys list and listening to marilyn manson very loudly as no one is home
i just want to be as good as nrk at those quote puzzler games! i just subscribed so now i have to go every day and try to get better!
hmmmm, mistress, is marilyn conducive to babbling?
I got it nrkii! Thank you! Here is another challenge. I need the first,second, third and fifthe pa 6/21 words
yay fran!! (I didn't do so well today though -- my great week has come to an end)
darnit min, I wanted to clue the 4th one
meanwhile knutmeg and featherbee are at the top of the stats!
pa 6/21 #1: pa* joey + get r***
LOL nrkii!!! :=0
I know fran, knut is scary
I meant :=)
how did she score so high on the quote puzzler? that thing was a monster!
second pa 6/21 rhymes with a very very short top that girls wear ha****
3rd pa 6/21 = a sitting room for guests
the quote used the same words over again, plus it was one I've heard recently, which is kinda a nice random surprise. Won't happen again, I'm sure...
5th pa 6/21 = good score on a golf hole + ***ly round the flag
also, I have been doing the archives to practice
knut, but it also had words of same length on other lines, so I kept messing up and messing up...
the archives help
the other thing that helps, on word builder... is to keep looking at yesterdays top solution and then your solution... I have learned a lot about word builder strategy from that
you did awesome knut! once i figured out the repeating words it did fall into place a little better. i'll have to check out the archives and get some practice in!
Thank you nrkii for all those great clues!I got them all
great min!
Does anyone have a clue for the pa 7/32 word please?
brb, son wants popcorn, i have kettle corn flavor, it's really good!
Actually, I need the first pa 7/32 word if you have it.
if pa* joey were a little french girl
Save some kettle corn for me Fran!That's my favorite
yes, yesterday's top solutions did give me a clue on where to go with word builder. I wish all the other games had archives I could practice on! I did quote puzzles for like three hours yesterday.
PA5.12 next to the talking one ?
g'night all!
someone who cuts fruit lynxxx
Does anyone ahve a clue for the pa 6/24 word please?
night pam!
Actually, I need the first 2 pa 6/24 words if you have.

ty nrk
Goodnight pam!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
Finally finished the dreadful pa list,now onto pe words
Does anyone have a clue for the pe 8/65 word please?
horrible horrible word min
pe 5/14 + ride the ***ris wheel at the carnival
i'm exactly where you are min. horrible isn't it.
min, if a dog is chasing you pe5/14*** your life
lol fran
someone actually got it from that clue today!
Ok, am I the only one NOT finished here? I'm the only one asking for the clues.At least I hope someone else is benefitting from my questions.Should I shut up now
no need to stop asking for clues min!! ask away!
lynxxx is still working, and benefitting from your clues
keep at it min!
I'm still working...and have needed a couple you asked for.
ty guys...never going to try doing one this big again without printing a list !
As an aside, I cannot figure out the icon thing. When I chose an image and attempted to enter it in profule, I received a message that it was the wrong format
Well then I will keep asking!I still need pe 8/65 please!
pdb, they have to be jpeg or gif. bitmap images won't work, that may be why
So, not only have I not finished the list (22 to go), I can't even get an icon. Sad.
Thanks, Fran. Should I admit that it's as if you're speaking a foreigh language?
I got the pe 8/65 word. I read your clue wrong nrkii!
flead
pdb, if you go to google images, and you find something you like, just right click on it and save it as a jpeg file to your computer -- then you can use that here
pdb, if you can save an image to your hard drive and open it with paint (if you have windows) you can save it as jpeg and then upload it.
oh no, I am just losing it
i got62 left no way in hades im going to finish
Thanks for those suggestions -- I'll give those a try, Fran and nrkii.
