12:10 am

12:11 am

some of them are, this one I don't think so -- more like a tension headache with some sinus involvment...

12:11 am

re7, just fyi if no one's posted it yet.

12:15 am

i am so tired and i want a stiff margarita! my hubby and 4-year old daughter were in a 4-wheeler accident and hub broke ribs and smashed ankle and i am exhausted WHINE WHINE WHINE

12:16 am

kierlex, you have a right! We will keep your husband and daughter (and you ) in our good thoughts and wishes.

12:16 am

oh no!!!! kierlex -- you must be a wreck!

12:16 am

sorry to hear it, kierlex - hope you are all on the mend soon

12:16 am

Kierlex, how is your daughter doing?

12:16 am

well, I would be... I hope your daughter was shaken but unhurt? Will your husband be okay?

12:16 am

oh kier! whine is ok - after that kind of day!

12:17 am

my daughter is just fine, as the 4 wheeler was tipping over my hub jumped off and sheltered her with his body. it rolled over him and down the hill/cliff. She only has a tiny little bruise

12:17 am

kier, so sorry to hear, just glad it wasn't more serious, hope they both mend quickly

12:18 am

it could have been sooo much worse!

12:18 am

amazing that your husband was able to do that!

12:18 am

what a brave thing for him to have done. Thank goodness he had the presence of mind... and hope he isn't in too much pain.

12:18 am

it is hard to be a nurse 24/7 tho =)

12:18 am

well, he is a police officer and they have soooo much training where they just REACT to things without thinking. I think that really helped

12:18 am

Aww. I'm so sorry to hear that kier! I'm glad everyone is OK! Sounds like your husband was quite a hero. My thoughts are with you and your family!

12:19 am

yes, it is. DO be good to yourself and let things slide when you can (the floors can be swept later, for example).

12:19 am

sending you good vibes, kier!

12:20 am

Kier glad to hear they ok :)

12:20 am

2:02 am

you are a woman after my own heart joey!

good call joey, problem is my partners house mate has a small fuzzy dog that sheds alot, thus i ignore the fur and try and control the hygene level in the kitchen since they think hygene is 'hi Gene

2:04 am

ren - have you been to Kemah lately?

2:06 am

i was invited to dinner down there this evening only i had to pass and spend time w/ my mom

2:06 am

i am going in sept and am looking for a hotel - any suggestions?

i have to have a kitchen bench you can eat off, sad but true, not one for other chores either part from bathroom. Took me a year to clean up a pile of papers (old school stuff) and books, got so bad i could not find my computor

2:07 am

have to be able to find the puter - that is important

2:07 am

not in the kemah area.....there is a hilton on nasa road 1 down the road from nasa, and there are some places on bay area blvd that have suites

2:08 am

thanks, ren. i appreciate the suggestions

darn straight, wrangled up the books and erradicated the bunnies so i can start again in a fortnight or so

i am loving the word choice so far this evening

2:09 am

i am having friends over to papercraft on monday - have to do a little tomorrow

2:09 am

kemah is right on the waterway from clear lake to the ship channel...it's an old town, good food, and the kemah boardwalk.

2:10 am

i am looking forward to going. it is going to be a quick stay there. a friend is coming in from pa and we are going to three phillies astros games

2:10 am

nice joey! did you watch the allstar game?

hey joey google kemah boardwalk they web site seems too darn cherpy for this hour but sound fun. I live in aus so i had to google what i am missing out

2:11 am

i have 54 left to find - but they are going to wait until tomorrow. good night all and good luck. thanks for the tip, her dark.

2:11 am

oh, yes, saw the game and the home run derby too. won by a phillie

google joey they have a full run down, very jealous

2:12 am

her dark - that part of the world started out as a shrimping and oyster village..down the coast was some gambling and juke joints

i have something like 217 words left

2:12 am

yes, but i am sure that you have places that i would love to see

2:12 am

that was good baseball!

2:12 am

nite all

2:13 am

later joey

oysters and shrimp and im assuming back when it was founded , loose morals and beer wenchs, sounds like my type of fun, as for now ill settle for seafood

2:13 am

yes, it was great baseball.

2:13 am

good to talk to you both thanks

Darn it now you got me drooling on the computor for oysters

2:13 am

me for shrimp. at least I had lobster for my birthday

2:32 am

2:33 am

Wait until you spend an hour looking for some lost words, only to find they were missing plurals.

2:34 am

*lAst words

did that earlier sprite with the larger grid, i went spare considering some had 3 or 4 plurals

2:35 am

Sprite I think lost words works equally well :)

2:35 am

True! Forever lost, lol, FMitch.

2:35 am

my words are always lost

so is my brain at the mo

2:37 am

LOL ren, not lost just very very well hidden, or at least that is what I am finding today.

2:37 am

9 k's! woot! getting there!

2:37 am

*green of envy*

brain is gone and monkeys broken, i think im screwed

2:39 am

Sounds like you need a break, mistress.

2:39 am

I see our favourite volcano is active again (just watching the news, incase you thought that an obscure clue)!

2:39 am

I typed in etna right away, LOL.

2:39 am

lol mitch...and there i was thinking...you cant make it this time

2:39 am

2:40 am

Morning all!

2:40 am

bbl

2:40 am

i looked for it..i'm tha cautious type

2:40 am

Hi and bye, whatever applies ;)

2:40 am

me too!

2:40 am

k mva - jey ya flask

the ks have been kicked in the pants

2:41 am

Still stuck at 7 of 11. "You will never find more K-words. Resistance is futile."

2:41 am

LOL you guys, I was meaning in the larva? and rock kind of way. 1st time its been active in 4 years I think.

2:42 am

lava :)

got them all need help sprite?

2:42 am

hi all! i have 9 or 11 Ks

2:42 am

Thank you Ata

fran back again

2:42 am

if there were more than one eruptions...would it ve lavae???

2:42 am

i have all the k's except 2 ko's

2:42 am

i mean 9 of 11.

2:42 am

Oh Ata, what was that beautiful word for lava again?

2:42 am

unless its spewing baby insects

2:42 am

pahoehoe

2:43 am

pahoehoe???

2:43 am

thought of big pods of larva rolling down the volcano's sides

2:43 am

mistress: thanks for offering :) I will try a bit longer on my own, but I'll get back to you if I am done torturing myself.

2:43 am

its a type of lava

2:43 am

Oh yes, that was it, pahoehoe. Can't think of a better babble word.

2:43 am

it's hawaiian, there are many words for lava in hawaiian

2:44 am

hi hdm!

2:44 am

in the hawaiian classification of lava, its divided into 2 main types - pahoehoe and aa

2:44 am

We MUST have a grid with pahoehoe.

2:44 am

It took a long time, but we finally got one with atlatl.

2:44 am

that was FAB!

2:45 am

hmm..i woulda thought there'd be a lava called....uhoh!...

2:45 am

Absolutely :)

2:45 am

Are there any long Ks, or only 5 and 4?

2:46 am

5's and 4's

2:47 am

That's why I can't stand Ks. They make me feel SO stupid. How can I be able to NOT find 4s and 5s? There only are that many possibilities, right?

2:48 am

just think of hard c's

2:48 am

I think of c words and try them with a k instead works quite well sometimes.

2:48 am

Time for me to go. Back later, hopefully. My favourite psychiatrist is in the grid (cr5/12).

2:48 am

later haz!

2:48 am

See you later Haz

2:49 am

I can imagine, ARB. Just give a yell and we'll help.

5:02 am

5:23 am

matty, sprites clue was what you see the whole time you are driving.

5:26 am

I still can't get that ar5/12 - anyone have a clue?

5:26 am

Dianne: Ar5/12 is like the reputed exclamation of Archimedes when, after long study, he discovered a method of detecting the amount of alloy mixed with the gold in the crown of the king of Syracuse. Only change the double vowel into A.

5:27 am

areka

Great clue, Sprite! I think I know what the first half of the compound eight is...looking for the second half.

5:27 am

Close, Fran.

5:27 am

i did it again!! this is not a good night for me!

5:28 am

matty: R4 + S4.

5:28 am

thanks sprite! i realized after typing in the wrong place that the points were lower!!

5:29 am

i didn't have that s4 right away, it's hiding sort of.

OH DUH!!! I didn't have the s4, but once I saw it - DOH!

5:29 am

sprite - thanks so much - that finished me off :)

5:29 am

that's how i felt matty!!

5:29 am

5:32 am

5:32 am

it's payback time - anyone need any clues?

I've got 97 words - I want three more before resorting to the lists...

nods

5:34 am

just went to the list dianne, still checking to see what i need

SORRY!

AND I already had it. SIGH

5:34 am

That was one, matty :) Refresh guys, for more purple.

5:34 am

at least yours was a real word matty!

5:35 am

cool sprite!

5:35 am

matty - do you have the ca6/24 that sounds like the name of a opera?

Nope...

5:36 am

*an opera

But I do now ;)

Thanks!

Cool icon, Sprite

5:37 am

do you have the ca5/10 that you row on the pond?

5:37 am

Dianne, you just hurt my husband's feelings! Paddle, not row. Rowing goes backwards! ;)

5:37 am

FIREWORKS

5:37 am

ty dianne

Do now...thanks to you, Dianne! I have 10 of the 29 Cs at teh top, and 2 of the ones at the bottom.

5:38 am

5:38 am

sprite - you are soooo right!

5:38 am

Fantastic ARB

5:38 am

WTG ARB!

5:38 am

matty - 52 in a deck.

5:39 am

Lol Dianne, he is sooo touchy about that :) Couldn't resist.

5:39 am

congrats ARB

5:40 am

ac6/24 anyone?

5:40 am

is there a prize for finding the fish?

5:40 am

morning sha

5:41 am

hydra: highest C4 in the deck + greek for through

5:41 am

And the ko5 word? I've tried every permutation.

5:41 am

lynxxx: if you find both, you win the loaves!

5:41 am

hydra - top card + first 3 letters of personal journal.

5:42 am

The ko5 is the plural of the Ko4/8 that comes BEHIND it! Greek plural.

5:42 am

hydra, it ends with two letters that rhyme with what you see with

5:42 am

Dianne said a wo-ord, Dianne said a wo-ord ;)

5:43 am

if you find the fish you find 4 more words. and then pass me the fish for using a word !

5:43 am

and i just used another one - argh!

5:43 am

Can't get that Greek plural, Sprite. And still struggling with the c word. Will let you know when I've found it. Thanks for your help, everyone.

5:46 am

Sprite, I just reloaded my icon. Tell me what you see.

5:46 am

it worked arb!

5:47 am

Got the ac at last! Thanks.

5:47 am

YAYAYA. Yes Yes (Fist ounding air and all that)

5:47 am

Beautiful ARB, it worked! Thank you so much :)

5:47 am

pounding air

5:47 am

Got the ko. Whoopee!

5:48 am

It comes from a movie playbill -- there was a grade C minus movie with that title, I believe

5:48 am

hydra, which C-word are you looking for?

5:49 am

72 left - having a break - thanks for all the clues as I am sure you will all finish before I get back. ARB - thinking of you all over there, I really hope it all ends soon.

5:50 am

later lynxxx!

Right, I think I need to find a list. I'm just under halfway through...

Dianne - you said if you find the fish, you can find four more words - I've found an additional three words from the fish - to have done the fish, a person who does the fish, and a floor covering - what's the last?

5:56 am

plural matty of the floor covering.

DUH DUH DUH. Hit me withthe ca4/6 - ensure it's wet and smelly.

5:58 am

how about a da4/6 instead?

What is a da4/6 when it's at home? (I have a da4/6 but dont' know what it means)

6:00 am

its another fish, matty :P

Duh. Nice icon, Atalante.

6:00 am

I have an ar5/12 missing; I have 2 connected to warfare. Clue for the third?

6:00 am

ty :)

Phantom - apron.

6:02 am

hydra, first 3 letters of the ar4/4 + first two letters of feline.

6:02 am

hydra: highest C4 in the deck + greek for through

6:02 am

Well, ignore THAT one. So Sorry, wrong paste.

6:02 am

sprite had a much better clue, but i forgot it.

6:03 am

sprite, it was your AHA! clue

6:03 am

Thanks. Was working off wrong a as usual.

6:03 am

Ar5/12 is like the reputed exclamation of Archimedes when, after long study, he discovered a method of detecting the amount of alloy mixed with the gold in the crown of the king of Syracuse. Only change the double vowel into A.

6:04 am

If I only could learn to paste better, it would be nice ;)

6:05 am

Flippin' eck, sprite! Swallowed the Mythology encyclopaedia? Did he say it in the bath, or was that Diogenes?

6:05 am

It seems as if one particular colour is obviously the favourite

6:05 am

Lol, had to look it up to see who said it, actually :)

6:05 am

in the bath ....

6:05 am

argh, just realized i typed a word in the log earlier, i was talking about pr4/5 and said ca5/12!!!!

6:06 am

And yes, I think it was in the bath.

6:06 am

exwren, 4 out of 5 people that had a preference said purple!

6:06 am

in the bath (reputedly lol)

6:06 am

apparently...

6:07 am

mine is more lavender

6:07 am

I have to go, seems like there are other things than babble that deserve my attention. Happy hunting all, thanks for all the help. And ARB, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

6:07 am

later sprite! thanks for all the clues!

6:07 am

Bye, sprite. Thanks for your help.

6:08 am

6:09 am

6:16 am

matty, decorate

6:16 am

change the last letter ...

Yep - that's the one - thanks (duh,duh and duh again)

6:17 am

lovely purple swirls atalante! you'd think today's theme was purple or something!

6:17 am

I've changed my pic to reflect the general purpleness of the day ....

Mine's kinda meant to be blue...but it looks more purpley. We're off to the pub shortly - to see Joe - my favourite 80 year old.

6:18 am

7:15 am

the cheap ones eat garbage, the expensive ones come from japan *keeps eye out for second fish*

7:16 am

last re5/12 anyone?

7:16 am

7:16 am

those feathers are truly a tad brighter than i'd like, but what can you do!

7:16 am

hee, good point!

7:17 am

uh oh, gotta see why i'm being called ...."momeeee!"

7:17 am

7:17 am

false alarm

7:18 am

oh, good tip mitch - I just found the other fish. Which one shall we wallop with today?

7:19 am

No peri 1 x d and 1 x c

7:20 am

7:20 am

7:21 am

I keep seeing Ankh Morpork....

7:22 am

Oohh rolin I still have words to find!! the 7 is a plural

7:22 am

feather, a budding germ-phobic?

7:23 am

te6/21? either one, i'm not seeing any

7:23 am

lol, perhaps! he HATES to have his hands dirty...grass, sand, etc, holds them out to be wiped off. had to teach him how to wipe his hands together to wipe them off.

7:23 am

both start with the number after nine....

7:24 am

thank you rolin now I have 3 x 6

7:24 am

as long as he doesn't start washing his hands every few minutes!

7:24 am

lol, i know fran!

7:24 am

thanks jai, will work with that

7:24 am

wow, the Cs are not being kind to me yet

7:25 am

one ends with high card, the other with a "den" what we used to call a den in our house- *** room

7:26 am

jai, thanks, had that first one before you clued, but probably would have taken forever for that other one!!

7:26 am

My dictionary isn't working...when I click on the ?...do I need to exit and come back?

7:26 am

featherbee...my son also hated to have his hands (and face) dirty. he grew up to be an engineer who loves to design mechanical things. plus, he was always good at keeping his room clean!

7:27 am

It goes right up the side- zip....

7:27 am

ditto what fran said for those te's!

7:27 am

depends on the word chiley, some work, some don't

7:27 am

here's a dash of red for contrast!

7:30 am

I found a third fish!

7:31 am

thank you fmitch. i still get choked up when i look at his pic. he has surpassed every dream i had for him when he was growing up.

7:31 am

Oh wow amanda, what's the 1st letter?

7:31 am

it's another d

7:32 am

oh, the singer that did a duet with eminem?

7:32 am

hmmm, don't know Fran - it's a misspelled entrance

7:33 am

that was my next guess, didn't know that was a fish too.

7:33 am

ditto, fran

7:34 am

fran...the fish is spelt with a y on the end

7:34 am

just looked it up, in America it would be a wall-eyed perch

7:35 am

well you live and learn, esp in babble land!!!

7:35 am

the one I'm lookin' at rhymes with The Amazing Ra**

7:35 am

I'm still looking for the pe 4,6 ... I think the first in the list, after a Spanish boy's name and possibly before the Latin word for feet.

7:35 am

i guess it's an alt spelling then rolin

7:35 am

american vs english again...lol

7:36 am

merk, i have urinated in that spot

7:36 am

merk, is it the plural of foot?

7:36 am

that sounded bad, but i think you know what i mean!!

7:36 am

fran! LOL!

7:37 am

I was just laughing at that Fran!!

7:37 am

the foot pe4/6 comes before Fran's "accident"

9:55 am

Oh WTG amanda

9:55 am

she did a song about a washing machine that's really funny!

9:56 am

She also did a weird song about a girl made of rubber a few years back.......

9:56 am

I must look for it. I like her. Ditto your icon, Babbler. CONGRATS amanda!

9:56 am

I don't know what they are Amanda.....:(

9:56 am

what song was that, Movieman? (she went even kookier in the 90s imho)

9:57 am

oh wait.... it's coming back to me.... hang on....

9:57 am

Rubberband Girl, Babbler, from her Red Shoes album.....

9:58 am

THAT'S it.! tsk, I knew that. ; )

Thank you - and now back to this grid. I left it this morning to get lunch under way. Lunch is over, dishes washing, time to get more words.....

10:02 am

Amanda there is only one N

10:05 am

I mean one of your n-words, flask

10:05 am

Been Babbling for a few hours so far today, and I STILL can't find those blasted 7's & 8's.......cluez plz?

10:06 am

Oooops!...sorry for being so stupid Amanda....:9

10:06 am

A 7 - me7/36 - one who threatens - Dennis?

10:06 am

:(

10:07 am

one of the 7's attaches to a motorcycle, and you might look at one of the 8's while riding

10:07 am

Good Sunday morning all. I've just writte a long email to Stid and feel buoyed up by the thought I might meet her soon. How's the grid today?

10:08 am

Hello hetty - some nice words so far.

10:09 am

And I'm keeping my 4 lighthouse icon a bit longer in honour of my children, who are the colours in my life

10:09 am

Flask, don't feel bad, I am stuck on the same word.

10:09 am

Amanda - wot does the 8 begin with?

10:10 am

thanks for that Jee.....am just gonna leave just now...and carry on elsewhere....lol

10:11 am

and to get the ugly 7-8 combos out of the way: for both, the root is non-base(s), one is prefixed "single", one is prefixed "for every"

10:11 am

It is frustrating when you think that you should be getting it, but just can't see it.

10:11 am

Oh, tell me about it!

10:11 am

Gets me down sometimes!!

10:12 am

Yeah, but don't forget to have fun while you are playing....Keep trying:)

10:12 am

the 8 begins with r, MM. For the an6, there is a cath*** and an an***, then make it an adjective

10:13 am

Oh I do Jee.....I love words!

10:14 am

i am having trouble with the an6 too...

10:15 am

hi....i like amanda's clue for the an6, but don't geet the ugly 7-8 combos clue at all...

10:15 am

all I know about batteries is that there is a positive and a negative!!!

10:15 am

Still having problems with that 8, amanda, what's the alpha/numeric value plz?

10:15 am

an + round vowel + short name for Richard

10:15 am

i am not sure if the cath*** is a religion or a medical thing

10:16 am

ro8/50 - compound word

10:16 am

thanks!

10:16 am

thanks...got that!

10:16 am

the cath***---*** you learned about iin poetry, emusing

10:17 am

Got it at last, ty Amanda......

10:17 am

Jee if you were closer I would kiss you!!!!.....THANKS!!!..and thankyou Amanda for your patience!

10:17 am

it's an electrical thing associated with the old tubs, or tri***s....

10:17 am

take the ** and add the end of the cath---religion

10:17 am

Thanks Amanda for all of your hard work on the an word that stumped many of us.

10:18 am

what jee said :)

10:18 am

How about beginning with a bang? ac4/6 please? Have the other ac's

10:18 am

Yep....it was a hard one!!

10:18 am

ac4/6 - opposite of alkaline

10:18 am

no thanks necessary - it's a silly word anyway!

10:19 am

Finally found the 'n' word now too.

11:09 am

go smiley go!

11:09 am

wesnurse

11:09 am

Hello FMitch - how is the grid progressing for you?

11:12 am

hi, FMitch.. all done?

11:12 am

Hey Aloy - still got 34 to go, how are you doing?

11:12 am

any clues please for ca6/21,,,ca6/24....and ca6/27....am stuck?

11:13 am

hi, clue please for ce6,24

11:13 am

I reckon that this grid is harder than yesterday's. What do you think?

11:13 am

I agree, Haz

11:13 am

flask, ca6/24 is the woman's name that has fruit on her head.

11:13 am

you're 10 ahead of me, FMitch.. but I'm chugging along as long as I don't get disconnected again..

11:13 am

Haz I am going to finish but I am at the stage where I am wishing I hadn't started.

11:13 am

me, too, haz

11:13 am

ca6/21 - mode of transport plus what fishermen use to catch fish, or what Ena Sharples wore permanently

11:13 am

Haz, you just reminded me of courting days--on Alan's motorbike. Hi there every else one

11:14 am

Yesterdays was bigger......but lots of words easily found.....

11:14 am

ooh, I just found the ca6/27 fly..

11:14 am

ca6/27 - past tense of ca4/6 - a fish or a word meaning to complain.

11:14 am

Ena! Really Haz! I thought that was a hairnet?

11:15 am

Haz, who is Ena Sharples

11:15 am

Another ca6/24 and 7/36= rug/s

11:15 am

down to 100....

11:15 am

Tom is making pancakes, so I am using this to distract me until they are ready...

11:15 am

peri, Ena Sharples is oneof the originals on Coronation Street. I had an aunt just like her

11:15 am

Ena Sharples - one of the original cast members of Coronation Street. A woman of stern looks and a way with words!

11:16 am

hi, clue please for ce6,24

11:16 am

I am assuming that is a TV show, don't think we have it here in the US

11:16 am

LOL Haz, does Ena Sharples translate over continents?

11:17 am

Thanks Jee and Haz...got them!

11:17 am

hetty - put together what Ena wore at the end of the mode of transport and you get ca6/21 (French word)

11:17 am

Haz, I inadvertantly used a Word, and I apologize--my hunch was right after all. Dear old Ena

11:17 am

Aloy - chugging along is about my pace too on a Sunday afternoon/evening

11:17 am

--and I'd found it already even

11:18 am

Fmitch - I don't know whether Ena could be translated adequately. I loved Victoria Wood's interpretation of the Coronation Street snug.

11:18 am

How about the mo8 and pe8? I haven't seen any clues for these yet.

11:18 am

Oh yes - classic moments Haz!

11:19 am

11:47 am

i'm feeling less generous towards this grid with every minute....

11:47 am

peri, did you past the whole url in? it went over two lines, so might have been cut off...

11:47 am

I gave up on the ca's. Too many. I've gone to the end and am working backwards.

11:47 am

Haz, glad I'm not the only one -- I was disgusted with it too

11:47 am

not sure how to past things, just tried typing in the words in Google.

11:48 am

oh, I don't think that will work... if you type it in, type it in the address bar... http://journey-woman.blogspot.com

12:00 pm

Charm, how come you use a verb that's in my mind? Psychic?

12:00 pm

if you hurt you leg you might need to use a ca** when you walk (or christmas candy = candy ca**)

12:00 pm

and if you want to get down the river fast, use a motor boat, not a ca***

12:01 pm

yup, another of my doodles, though I've just changed it to yet another one LOL

12:01 pm

Thanks nrkii. And I use one all the time--tsk tsk

12:01 pm

Hetty - of the many adjectives thrown at me, psychic is not among them! lol

12:01 pm

Aloy, if we can only babble on and off in real life....

12:02 pm

okay, gotta run for now

12:16 pm

12:16 pm

Are you an otter, FMitch? (Holt...)

Good reason to stop, Dorens.

12:17 pm

If I were I would live in Monterey Bay hydra. Unfortunately its my deteriorating spelling.

12:18 pm

You'll have to explain that to this Brit, FMitch.

12:18 pm

12:18 pm

hah, found the kr5/12.. weird, kr**** word.. like a snake or a burglar moves..

12:18 pm

1st ca6/24 = ca**** Miranda?

12:19 pm

hetty, I think that's a vehicle plus the males of the species

12:19 pm

you wouldn't want to live in Monterey Bay if you were an otter - tourists staring at you all day! :P

12:19 pm

Ice water Aloy? Don't you have anything with a bit of a kick to it in your neck of the woods?

12:19 pm

Like us brits trying to explain Ena Sharples, FMitch

12:19 pm

The first ca6/24 is the name of an opera or could be used to describe males who like autos.

12:19 pm

should have been kr***y

12:20 pm

lol... not before 5pm.. are you there yet? If so, I'll share a rum and coke!

12:20 pm

hi everyone!

12:20 pm

12:29 pm

me, either, euterpe. But I have an "illness:" every word with which I am not familiar, I look up. I don't remember them from grid to grid, necessarily, but on that day, i look them up...

12:29 pm

I love pencil. Well, *my* pencils. I only love *my* pencils LOL, I'm insanely protective of them. But I love the result them give, even though I'm trying to persuade myself I like gouache better

12:30 pm

It was. Your mentioning strife brought it out. William Savage Landor

12:30 pm

Never mind the anagram - it's pr4/6 backwards with an ending for the do6

12:30 pm

yw

12:30 pm

hic...!!

12:30 pm

I must look that up hetty - thank you

12:30 pm

I look up quite a few of them, but I just assumed that was another strange word. That it meant what it looked like.

12:30 pm

FMitch FMitch FMitch. can we not take you anywhere????

12:31 pm

This grid would drive anyone to drink.

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

12:33 pm

12:42 pm

That's the one i have too--mushroom and nothing. Middle one?

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

ce4/6 the first - first letters of the name of the late Princess of Wales.

12:42 pm

12:43 pm

It can then be pluralised for ce5/14

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

I am baffled, botherd, and bewildered by one of the three ar5/12's. i have the two a knight might wear.

2:52 pm

ty autumn

2:52 pm

ar5/10 is like a wierd Latin pl of the ar4/4

2:52 pm

i just got the other v - it's odd...the vowels and consonants alternate.

2:53 pm

i finally got it! whew!

2:53 pm

re 6/24 alternate spelling for what you read in order to know what to put into a cake and how to make it.

2:53 pm

thanks!

2:54 pm

Vicuna, ar 5/12 -- 3 letter common word + abbreviation for Schwartzenegger's state

2:55 pm

i didn't mean it's odd for vowel and consonants to alternate, those were 2 separate comments.

2:55 pm

Thanks! I was sure I had typed every conceivable combination three times, but apparently not!

2:56 pm

There's also a plural.

2:56 pm

What, did you just notice "vicuna" has alternating vowels and consonants, and were afraid you'd offended me? :)

chyna - was that the last one then?

2:57 pm

no i just sort of thought it sounded funny :)

2:57 pm

yes

2:57 pm

:)

2:57 pm

ar5.10?

2:59 pm

thanks lyn

3:00 pm

ar4/4 + 2nd vowel

3:00 pm

ar 5/10 add another vowel to the end of the ar 4/4 before it

3:01 pm

and there I was - too embarassed to ask for the AR4.4 !

3:01 pm

still asleep you see - trying to get some more before I go to work

3:01 pm

ar 4/4 length times width = ar--

3:03 pm

I think I have a blind spot in the middle

3:04 pm

go diagonal down to the left

3:04 pm

ty arb - got it, but I really had to look hard to see how the 2 a's connected.

3:05 pm

we get fixated in one way of looking and it's hard to see other possibilities. Happens all the time to me.

3:07 pm

ce6?

3:08 pm

ce6 - some material of ceramic bonded with metal, apparently. Starts like the pottery, ends like "Hale fellow, well ---"

3:08 pm

like the muppets' frog

3:09 pm

ce 6 like a word for concrete with an extra vowel after the ce

3:14 pm

ko5 - statues of women acting as pillars, Greek pl of the ko4/8, i believe

3:15 pm

ty vicuna - will work on that

3:16 pm

To make it easier, it ends like the beginning of dried grapes. kr5 (first) - is a mispelling of what cat-burglers, lizards, and bugs do

3:16 pm

(How they get around, i should say.)

3:16 pm

Last call for clues from me before I'm off?

3:25 pm

hiya stid!

3:26 pm

and hurshy! my goodness, we're all here it seems! bye Vi!

3:26 pm

Oh dear. I'm not really going yet because stidmama's here! I moved about a week ago, so I haven't been able to give my full attention to Babble.

3:26 pm

hey debb, according to my Granny, it's really HOT in LA right now -- according to her nurse, it's REALLY HOT in LA right now!

3:27 pm

And when i say I moved, I should specify that I don't mean I just got up from my computer desk.

3:27 pm

it's insane - and i'll admit - i haven't (and won't) budge from my computer (nd babble) -- why go outside ? and getting in a car - um, no!

3:27 pm

oh -- moved -- I sure do understand that. Are you starting to settle in okay? I will be gone for the next three days (back on Thursday) so glad I got to see you first. Does your new place have a yard? with flowers? (she asked, hopefully)

3:27 pm

mo 7 and 8

3:28 pm

3:28 pm

3:29 pm

well, it seems we are going to visit with hetty on Tuesday -- and Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island... a quick trip, but should be nice.

3:30 pm

Hello again all -- back for more :) good to see everyone here!

3:30 pm

hi again ch!

3:30 pm

ooh - nice - have a wonderful time

3:30 pm

Well, our new yard doesn't have any grass yet, but I have been putting in flowers in all the beds. I wasn't able to garden at all in our last place, which we were renting, so I am really excited.

3:30 pm

tenard

3:30 pm

hello ch!

3:30 pm

sorry bout that

3:30 pm

thanks debb. Have to get up around 3, mother will pick us up at 4... I think I'll have the boys wear sweats to bed so they can just roll into the car!

3:30 pm

thanks everyone for your clues...i have the mo6...still working on the mo7

3:30 pm

Oh, have fun, stid!

3:31 pm

mo, it ends with the middle 4 letters of a sibling not a brother

3:31 pm

that is super Vi! I think having a garden is the best thing in the world -- along with babbling and kids, no ranking intended in that list!

3:32 pm

pe 5/20?

3:32 pm

that sounds smart stim - they'll be so tired they won't remember moviing

3:32 pm

ko5,18 please please

3:33 pm

pe5/20 - orange pe--- kind of black tea

3:33 pm

New England has such a short growing season though -- I suppose you plant a lot more annuals there. Do you have a sheltered spot for perennials?

3:33 pm

oh! what I am drinking right now in fact... good clues, Vi.

3:33 pm

Thanks vicuna

3:34 pm

okay, this is going to be a fish -- AR 4/4?

3:34 pm

Oh, there are plenty of perennials that do well here. I try to do mostly perennials because I hate having to let things die and then buy new each year. I favor yellow, orange and red flowers, so we have loads of daylilies and rudbeckia. I'm also trying some of the new non-pink coneflowers.

3:34 pm

thank you all...i have the mo7 now.....it obviously is an American word111

3:34 pm

or5 and 6?

3:35 pm

I don't think so, mo. I think It is used by Jane Austen.

3:35 pm

Hey, don't blame it on Americans, I think it is French.

3:35 pm

o + what you do with a book

3:35 pm

lol jee

3:35 pm

I am the same way Vicuna! Have you tried crocosmia? I have a wonderful glowing red one called "Lucifer" that my mother in law gave me. A nice shape with all the rounder flowers.

3:35 pm

or5 -mountain nymph, ends with what you do to with a book

3:35 pm

i always miss that one, ty jee

3:36 pm

pr6/24?

3:36 pm

And a lot of shrubs as well, to give structure and color in the gray months. I have a witchhazel that I got this last Spring. can hardly wait for this winter when it blooms!

3:37 pm

I ad5/12 crocosmia. Most of them are not quite hardy in my zone, but there are a few varieties. I had some once, but they have never been very strong for me.

3:37 pm

stid - your garden must be beautiful

3:37 pm

We have rhododendrons like crazy around here, and forsythia.

3:37 pm

stid - AR4.4.ends in 1st vowel - I couldn't see it either

3:37 pm

pr6/24 - to provide with weapons ahead of time

3:38 pm

kr5.20 pls

3:38 pm

I like my garden -- it has what I call "moments" of beauty. a spot here, a corner there, which look "just right" at any given time. And, at any given time, at least half the garden looks completely wild and neglected... LOL

3:38 pm

vicuna, can you clue me differently if possible...that clue doesn't help me.

3:38 pm

never mind, it just finally jumped in my head.

3:38 pm

thanks lynxxx... oh gee whillikers!

3:39 pm

kr5/20 - misspelling of how snakes and insects and cat burglers get around

3:40 pm

lynx, kr 5/20 sounds like it should start with cr instead.

3:40 pm

ty vicuna

3:40 pm

I have always wanted to try the blue himalayan poppies, which supposedly do well only in the Pacific northwest in the US.

3:40 pm

AR 5.12 pls

3:41 pm

(Of course, they're probably expensive, too. I never look at the prices when fantasizing!)

3:41 pm

those blue poppies are magnificent !

3:41 pm

um. I have seen them, but haven't tried them. I have been in serious "if it's fussy I won't try" mode. :-)

3:41 pm

ar5/12 - passion

3:42 pm

Yes, I'm the same when it comes to the real garden. But I do like looking at the pretty pictures in magazines and catalogues! :)

3:42 pm

ty - saw it that time !

3:43 pm

oh yes! my new "horticulture" magazine just arrived and am taking it to read on the ferry. Also haunt the library's garden and landscaping collections... and watch every gardening show our TV gets!

3:43 pm

AR 5/10?

3:43 pm

Okay. Remember how I was saying 'goodbye" about a million years ago? Well, my daughter tells me that now is the time when we need to dance, so I must delay no longer. Goodbye. (and this time I really REALLY mean it.)

3:43 pm

2nd vowel onto AR4.4 stid

3:46 pm

3:46 pm

Now to work.

3:46 pm

reweave a chair, eh... hmmm

3:46 pm

LOL hetty -- yes, I am excited. and nervous. I really don't like to travel. I find it unnerving... but the promise of a lovely friend and a lovely garden can make even me take a few risks.

3:46 pm

3:47 pm

ooh i get it

3:47 pm

3:49 pm

well that's me done thank goodness. see y'all later :)

3:49 pm

bye stid

3:50 pm

hooray hurshy

3:50 pm

speaking of the prefix 'pre' meaning before, I just asked my beloved to explain why the word 'present' means NOW and not 'before', and for that matter, the word 'present' (to present something) is also NOW. He explained the latter from the Latin 'scind' (understanding) but not the one meaning here and now. Any takers? I'm just puzzled...

3:50 pm

cera

3:50 pm

sorry - again

3:51 pm

how about the re5/12 that comes between the two re 6 words?

3:53 pm

never mind, got it

3:53 pm

missed your win hursh - CONGRATULATIONS

3:54 pm

present (adj.) Look up present at Dictionary.com c.1303, "existing at the time," from O.Fr. present (11c.), from L. præsentem (nom. præsens) "present, immediate, prompt," from prp. of præesse "be before (someone or something), be at hand," from præ- "before" + esse "to be." Meaning "being there" is from 1340. As a grammatical tense, recorded from 1388. Presently is c.1380 as "immediately," but by 1566 it had relaxed into "sooner or later." Present-day "contemporary" is attested from 1887.

3:55 pm

can anyone clue the re6/21 ?

3:55 pm

I had just taken down my Oxford and found that same entry, Atalante .Snap!

3:55 pm

great minds think alike :D

3:55 pm

good day folks!

3:55 pm

ko5/18 and kr5/20 anyone please?

3:56 pm

AHHH... Atalante, that makes sense -- the 'prae' as 'to be.' And it's latin in origin! I shall give my darling husband a bit of a bad time because he studied Latin quite extensively. Thank-you!!

3:56 pm

RE 6.21 - reweave a chair seat

3:56 pm

ch12--wanted you to know I tried, but you know how speed and I do not agree.

3:56 pm

hiya evan

3:56 pm

yes - its a rather nice etymology, isn't it!!

3:56 pm

hey debbin

3:57 pm

{{{ Miss Hetty }}} and to you too atalante -- thanks again!

3:58 pm

now if only i knew how to weave a chair seat lol

3:58 pm

but ch12, "prae" means "before", not "be". . . simplified in modern spelling to "pre"

3:58 pm

I shall re-read Atalante's search and look it up too. Thank-you for the correction! :)

3:59 pm

I got it from here - I love this site: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?te rm=present

3:59 pm

bonkler -- the thin strips in a woven chair are known by the same word as the striped things children eat around the holidays... candy ca**s

3:59 pm

and in my experience one has to be careful about correcting husbands. When we were i school way back before the flood we had to answer "Present!" to roll call

3:59 pm

thanks, look at me learning on my day off!

4:00 pm

rather like presenting arms, don't you think?

4:00 pm

:D Oh Miss Hetty, your comment is priceless and so true! And I do remember saying 'present' in school.

4:01 pm

*grins at bonkler* and why are you inside on this lovely blue-sky day? I am about to head out... watch me closing the laptop.... walking away.... out the door... will you miss me while I'm gone? LOL

4:01 pm

My beloved just read this chat over my shoulder and is busy chuckling.

4:01 pm

recovering from a monster migrain yesterday, laying low today

4:01 pm

Okay who believes stidmama is actually going outside? :D

4:02 pm

Now for the real stuff--I have one elusive mo to be clued on--mo4/9--between the opp. of ancients and the single non-alkali

4:03 pm

thats awful bonk - hope you feel better

4:04 pm

I'm hunting, Miss Hetty...

4:04 pm

thanks debb, feel kind of hung over and thick in the head.

4:04 pm

Oh, it's mo + high scoring letter + 2nd vowel

4:04 pm

hetty is it the word that arises from a cigarette, minus the initial s?

4:05 pm

mo 4/9 - means dull person or an old horse

4:06 pm

oh bonk, I'm sorry about your discomfort. Someone should have a special sac to toss babblers in when they are sik--or is that a cultural idiosyncracy?

4:07 pm

All I can think of ch12 is "nag" (I'm good at it)--maybe if i monkey for a while--

4:07 pm

you're right ch, still here... bonkler, may you be better soon. Don't babble so much you get a relapse... now I really am going. *poof*

4:07 pm

really check the "who's online..."

4:07 pm

yup i'm off for a snooze. have fun all.

4:08 pm

mo 4/9 -- think of when someone tells you somthing funny with a punchline, they told you a j***. Now change the first letter.

4:09 pm

Thanks, ch1212--found it from your kind hints. Not a word i use, whereas idio*******. . .

4:09 pm

please help!!! re6/24 and re7/36...i assume they are related?

4:10 pm

4:11 pm

4:11 pm

4:11 pm

What the hell do these firework thingys mean when you finish the grid (as if I didn't really know!!!!!!!!)........LOL

4:11 pm

can you help with the ko5/18 and kr5/20 please?

4:12 pm

Just getting to those myself, mo.

4:13 pm

thanks ch1212

4:13 pm

ko5/18 looks like that coutry that just let off miiles (north) but the closing 2 vowels are first and third

4:14 pm

that should be missiles--even my fingers hate the word

4:14 pm

the ko 5/20 is like "into your house we will cr*** but change the first letter. Thanks, Miss Hetty!

4:15 pm

kr5/20 is an undesirable person-- a "cr***" with his initial letter changed to "k"

4:15 pm

4:27 pm

6:18 pm

and Juliet would spell it correctly. Please someone, have you noticed a double enry in Lickety's list for the pe4/6? At least I THINK that must explain my problem--

6:19 pm

and why is that not a word? because I need the second re 6/24 and it would fit perfectly there

6:19 pm

for that matter, if Noah had found dry land and gotten all the animals off the boat, and then the waters had risen, wouldn't he have had to re*** them?

6:19 pm

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return ...

6:19 pm

dorens = re****acle (like a trash basket or an inbox)

6:19 pm

And as I mentioned before, if I decide to change my floor coverings, why is re + ca 6/24 not a word?

6:19 pm

"It was the lark, the herald of the morn..."

6:19 pm

no, hetty there are two pe 4/5's in a row...which do you have?

6:19 pm

Oh, this IS fun!:-))

6:20 pm

6:20 pm

Did yiou know that many of the words given to Julkt in the Folio are also given to Cleopatra vis-a-vis Antony?

6:20 pm

Oh, speak again, bright angel! for thou art as glorious to this night, being o'er my head as is a winged messenger of heaven :D

6:20 pm

I still say it's a good thing for Noah he didn't have to re*** all those animals!

6:21 pm

Thanks Dorens. I have the plural of first syllable of pe*ant

6:21 pm

Hetty - No, I didn't. I should do though, since I studied one for 'O' level and the other for 'A' level.

6:21 pm

Really, Miss Hetty? I did not realize that. What a wonderful piece of Shakespearean trivia

6:21 pm

re + ca6/24 most definitely IS a word-in real life

6:21 pm
