Sprite, that's funny!

at times like this- i wish i knew how to use paintshop :)

1:52 am

Hey, hey, I changed it yesterday too. And many times before :)

1:52 am

I still like my icon for the australian theme best. I just inverted my icon, lol.

1:53 am

I wasn't on much yesterday - what was it, sprite?

1:53 am

Yesterday's was special, I really change my whole icon. It was favorite colours, jillibus.

i guess i must pay closer attention to sprite's doings - of course when i see you sprite, it's like 1 or 2 am & my eyes are barely functional

1:54 am

I had my favourite colour (aqua) on yesterday but didn't see yours - what was it?

1:54 am

You don't miss much, helen. Just an occasion playful moment with my icon, if the theme allows it.

1:55 am

Deep purple, jilli.

1:55 am

another favourite of mine

1:56 am

Actually, I don't have one single favo colour. It's combinations that I like. Like that deep purple with your aqua.

yeah - but i love stuff like that !

1:56 am

does anyone know if Lickety is going to continue? I saw he did yesterday

1:56 am

Don't know, haven't heard. I hope he is not giving in to pleas against his better judgement. His quality of life should come first.

1:57 am

and whatever happens there, BJ's stats will be here

is that what the deal is? i thought it was just an evil rumor!

1:57 am

Hi Sprite.Nice to see a familiar (almost) face.So many new names,I`ve a lot to catch up on.How are you?

1:58 am

macadam!!

1:58 am

Hey macadam! Nice to see you. I am getting better all the time, slowly but surely. And you?

2:00 am

I`m fine thanks.Retiring on Friday so should have more chances to join you all.Atlante,hello.

2:01 am

2:01 am

I`m fine thanks.Retiring on Friday so should have more chances to join you all.Atlante,hello.

2:02 am

Laggy site again, I see. How great, macadam, retirement coming on this week :) Are you ready for it? Looking forward to having more time to yourself?

2:04 am

Someone asked about Lickety. What's the word? Will it return for a second day? ... I hope.

2:04 am

I tried the other site the other day and it was not as convenient because you could not type in the words. Is there another?

2:04 am

Typical,chaos already.I`m planning all kinds of things.The house and improvements first.I can be home while jobs are being done.That will be a novelty.

2:05 am

And while the workmen are doing their thing, you can join us for babble :)

2:05 am

Got it in one Sprite!

2:08 am

Good morning all. Nice to see you macadam!

2:08 am

Morning Haz :)

2:08 am

hi haz

2:08 am

hi Haz!

2:08 am

hello Haz

2:08 am

signing off with 30 left, happy babbling all

2:09 am

Don't think so, Merk. It's BJ and Lickety.

2:09 am

Bye mymuse and hello to the rest! I hope this grid is nicer than yesterday's.

2:09 am

I don't know how you do it, mymuse. I have 128 left!

2:10 am

lol jilli, I take it letter by letter

2:10 am

It is, Haz. You will love some of the biggies :)

2:10 am

You know how to tempt me, sprite. Here I go....

2:11 am

That works only because it is no temptation attempt, but the simple truth, Haz ;)

2:13 am

I really think a lad that spies should be valid.

2:14 am

and a spy sheep ...

2:14 am

It`s getting hot already.Snowdrops just not a suitable icon.Excuse me whilst I change.

2:15 am

naughty naughty, macadam :)

2:15 am

Sprite - have you remembered the sp4/8 we had quite a while back?

2:16 am

Oh but it feels soooo good!

2:16 am

And its plural sp5/18?

2:16 am

And the plural? I think so. A lazy lout who dresses well and schemes, right?

2:16 am

macadam: one of them looks like me!

2:17 am

The very one. I remember some people hadn't heard of the word before.

2:17 am

One of the words I learned from babble, indeed.

2:17 am

And one like me.

2:17 am

talking of sheep ... this *is* a sheep-filled puzzle!

2:17 am

Good morning All....

2:18 am

Oh dear... it is a pic of us! LOL

2:18 am

Good morning Flask..

2:18 am

Hi Flask

2:18 am

There`s no escape , ah me!

2:19 am

Rubens would have loved us :)

2:19 am

no Lickety's today then?

2:19 am

Haz and sprite -- thanks for the sp's!

2:20 am

You're welcome, jillibus.

2:20 am

Anytime, jilli :)

2:20 am

Hello Flask - no Lickety yet - no BJ either so far

2:20 am

Such a sensible artist.A man with taste ;)

2:21 am

There is another S4/8. Cabbage. No plural.

2:21 am

BJ's list is up

2:21 am

night all....there is an sa8 = holy place?

2:21 am

definitely, macadam!

2:21 am

And so is Ho Hum... up and about.

2:21 am

thaks, ho hum

2:21 am

Oh well.......whats the grid like....good..bad...???

2:22 am

Hi Ho Hum

2:22 am

LOL sprite, back to the search.

2:22 am

It's very nice today, Flask. Lots of real words, even biggies :)

2:23 am

I just reread some clues and you talked about the sp 4. I remember having one like it before, but I don't remember the word. What's the clue? Something Italian or something?

2:23 am

muse: thanks for that one :)

2:23 am

BJ? Where please.All help gratefully received.

2:23 am

Oh good!.....I like something I can get my teeth into!

2:23 am

Merk: no, that was the word with a C. THis one means A lazy lout who dresses well and schemes

2:24 am

Merk - it was a term used in World War 2 for black marketeers. The final letter has a high points value.

2:24 am

Back shortly.

2:24 am

bye all back later

2:24 am

Seen in wartime movies selling nylons and cigarettes.

2:25 am

Ata: no iwis nor ywis :(

2:26 am

its about time we had ywis again ....

2:26 am

Ywis!

2:26 am

(you knew I would say that, didn't you?)

2:27 am

motion

2:28 am

Oh no....am sooo sorry.......

2:28 am

Flask, I will say it again: it's the site that is to blame, not us...

2:29 am

Sometimes a word just pops out.

2:29 am

refresh!!

2:30 am

hello everyone and how are we all today?

2:30 am

I know Sprite.......but my very first word?????....lol.....it was a genuine mistake tho'.........anyway..sometimes its nice to share things....:)

2:30 am

we're all wordy people today, CLM.

2:30 am

very funny, atalante!

2:31 am

Must pop out myself,I`ve just seen the time.Back later I hope.Good one Atalante.

2:31 am

Wow Ata! Brilliant :)

2:31 am

2:32 am

2:32 am

So far it goes smoothly, CLM.

2:32 am

moud

2:33 am

oopsy daisys there - sorry bout that

2:33 am

I think the consensus is we all should post valid words, CLM ;) Like you just did, LOL!

2:34 am

Lol......what have I started.....lol

2:34 am

I love that oopsy D5/16 :)_

2:35 am

lol sprite!

2:35 am

Did you all check out the Babble Store on Babanon? It has a solution to this as well ;)

2:37 am

Oh noooooo.........am going nowhere just now......I want to give it my best shot.......but thanks for the info Sprite!

2:38 am

hello everyone

2:38 am

Hi Jemma

2:38 am

Hi Jemma

2:38 am

hello, how many words today?

2:39 am

You are right, Ata, this is a sheepish grid.

2:39 am

160

2:39 am

ty!

2:40 am

French sheep ... English sheep ... its be-ewe-tiful!

2:40 am

Gee, this is great ... I can't sleep and at 3:40 in the morning there are folks on from all around the world.

2:41 am

We will keep you awake longer or sing you to sleep, judy!

2:41 am

lol Atalante :)

Morning folks - how's tricks today? Smallish grid, I see.

2:42 am

Morning Judy and MAtty!

2:42 am

Ata...French Sheep???

2:42 am

I wish I knew more about sheep

Is there a theme today?

2:43 am

French sheep = M6/24

2:43 am

morning peeps :) how is everyone today?

2:43 am

fake theeth, matty

2:44 am

*teeth - mine must have fallen out

2:44 am

Please may I ask a question??

are you serious, Jill? Fake TEETH?! Ha ha!

2:44 am

You just did, Flask!

2:44 am

, yes, matty!

2:45 am

Lolol.....ok....How can you tell where and how big the words are without Licket's grid?

2:45 am

I heard BJ was on already. On Babanon.

2:45 am

BJ's list is up -- go to BabAnon

2:46 am

ah......ok

2:46 am

thanks!

2:47 am

It's another all-vowel grid today, by the way.

2:49 am

Sp7/36 - having connected vertebrae

2:50 am

Also Om7/36: ill-boding (same ending)

2:50 am

Bye everyone, good luck!

2:50 am

Bye Jemma!

2:50 am

Bye!

2:50 am

bye jemma

2:51 am

bye Jemma

2:52 am

Fireworks!

2:53 am

good heavens, sprite!!!! congrats!

2:53 am

yayyyyyy!

2:53 am

YAY Sprite

2:53 am

A lovely grid, really.

2:54 am

not for me

2:54 am

Oh Sprite....well done!!

2:54 am

is it just my computer or did everyones computer say 1 minute left before?

2:54 am

lead

2:55 am

of the puzzle?

2:55 am

SA 8/50 - being a SA 5/10.

2:56 am

Y4/7 a form of matter hypothesized by proponents of the big bang theory to have existed before the formation of the chemical elements I thought it was a biblical city or place, but it isn't. P4/7 albuminoid constituent of pus, related to mucin, possibly a mixture of substances rather than a single body. Yugh. And I would have thought it was related to a kind of language.

2:56 am

CLM: refresh.

2:57 am

gee, thanks, sprite. My brain is too numb so I think I'll crash. Nite all

2:57 am

Well Sprite, I dunno who those clues were meant for....but not a chance of me gaining from them......lolol

2:57 am

yer i did and now it says 21+ hours again

2:58 am

Nite Jilli

2:58 am

by Flask!

2:59 am

Those were words I had real trouble with finding.

2:59 am

where am I going??

2:59 am

Flask, what you can do is to select the definitions, copy them and then paste them into google. That should help you to find the word.

2:59 am

Night jilli.

2:59 am

oops sorry i ment Jillibus but i was looking at ur name at the time. Sorry bout that

3:00 am

Bye Jillibus!! Finally i got it rite!!

3:00 am

Mmmmm......thanks for that Haz...

3:01 am

Flask - yl4/7 is the first one sprite spoke of - look at the points value to help.

3:01 am

Or try:

3:01 am

Y + first three letters of a mouselike rodent

3:02 am

P4: first 2 letters of what some people sleep in + not out.

3:02 am

clue for la6 please

3:02 am

And hi to you too, oggy :)

3:02 am

py4/7 - as sprite said below

3:03 am

hi all, sorry

3:03 am

leas

3:03 am

La6: person of mixed racial ancestry. Alt. spelling, I think.

3:04 am

thanks Sprite....got both of them

3:05 am

Hi Oggy!

3:05 am

thanks sprite.

3:07 am

ladino

3:07 am

Yup, that's the one.

3:08 am

sorry wrong place.

3:10 am

That's a language like Yiddish, but related to Spanish rather than German

3:12 am

Hi Arb....yes it sounds Spanish...

3:12 am

if i had a dollar for every time someone accidentally wrote a word in this chatbox i would be pretty wealthy!!! LOL

ok, that's it quarter after 3 am - gotta get to bed

just have to leave the 29 - but i'm on a roll!!! - hopefully that roll will continue tomorrow

everyone have a great day/ evening :))

3:14 am

Good night helen. The words will keep!

3:14 am

We could donate a dollar, put it away somewhere and let DrG know it will be his when he has fixed the site :)

3:14 am

g'nite Helen

3:14 am

helen: that roll will continue for sure. Sleep well!

thanks all - bye :)

3:15 am

Help on the es 6/21?

3:15 am

good thinking sprite

3:15 am

Es + P4/5 (the first one)

3:17 am

Got the 6 and then the 4 , which I had not had. Thanx

3:17 am

Anymore calls for clues? I'll be off in a minute or so.

3:20 am

in 7/28 and 8/40?

3:20 am

They are in front of your name, ARB.

3:20 am

of course -- ty

3:21 am

Funny, they are kinda hidden, aren't they? All those i's are confusing, in a way.

3:22 am

And even when the word is written down, it doesn't take up as much space as most 8 letter words.

3:24 am

Isn't that the truth :) I am off, have a great day/night/whatever all of you and happy hunting!

3:24 am

bye Sprite!

3:28 am

where is the other word list... lickety's isnt working for me at the moment

3:30 am

thank you sprite

3:31 am

im done.

3:31 am

Atropos -- go through Babblers anonymous at the bottom of the page

3:31 am

YAY Oggy

3:31 am

bbl to help if needed.

3:32 am

cheers Oggy!

3:33 am

Does ARB have another name? Can't see those in's.

3:34 am

ARB are my in---- for my name

3:35 am

start with the i on the 4th row left

3:35 am

hi all

3:35 am

how big is the grid today?

3:35 am

160

3:36 am

ty for that clue, ARB. for the longest time, i was looking at the chocolate on your icon.

3:36 am

thanks

3:36 am

Thanks ARB....silly me.

3:37 am

Looking at the chocolate is good.

3:38 am

eating chocolate is even better.

3:53 am

hi all!

3:53 am

hi arb! thanks for that clue!

3:54 am

Hi Fran!

3:54 am

hi flask!

4:22 am

Mental block.....need to rest...BBL...bye all

4:23 am

bye flask!

boker tov! i'm up!

how is it i'm not getting new lickety clues? still have from the last grid despite clicking my bookmark...

4:34 am

It may be that he has not updated them. Due to pressure of work etc there may not be daily updates.

4:35 am

BJs clues are up at babanon

aaaaaaah, tx Haz & Fran.

4:37 am

Sorry to break the sad news!

usually i don't seek them out until i pass halfway, which at 73/87 leaves me 7 to go. huffhuffpuffpuff

4:39 am

it seems it took a while for me to get over half also! i was barely over when i went for list.

4:39 am

It's not the most accessible grid, is it?

nah treely.

4:46 am

am6/27 is an interesting word, just looked it up, definitely wouldn't come up in casual conversation!

4:47 am

Hi all! This is an odd one, isn't it? A nudge on that am6/27, Fran?

one more to halfway!

4:48 am

amanda, it's tinder that's derived from tree fungus, is that enough or do you want more?

4:49 am

new here and unfamiliar with the notation - what does am6/27 translate to?

4:50 am

it's a word that starts with am, 6 letters long and worth 27 points.

yea! mediocrity attained! back to bed b4 i go to PT

4:50 am

thats what i thought, thanks :)

4:51 am

okay melon! see you later.

4:51 am

oh, of course - tree fungus tinder! Think I may need a bigger nudge on that one...

4:52 am

am6/27 - first three letters of your name amanda, then three letters of what Thomas was accused of being.

4:52 am

am6/27, eastern nanny + first 3 letters of no ***bt you will get it now

4:52 am

nvm - monkeyed it - sounds like it should be a footballer from Africa

4:53 am

i can see it in a nike commercial already! :-)

4:53 am

ooh, i got it :) ty

amanda - your footballer remark did it for me! :)

4:54 am

of course melon is not really here...she went to bed 5 minutes ago...

4:54 am

:-)

4:56 am

Glad it helped, melon - though I'm not sure it's always a good thing to think like I do!

5:01 am

How many do we have to squeeze out of the grid today? And am I right in understanding Lickety's list's not up but BJ's is?

5:01 am

yes amanda, 160 words today

5:04 am

i have the sa8/50, anyone interested? or do you all have it already?

5:05 am

well the, only 99 to go - and I've got another 7-8 combo if anyone wants it (I'll try to find the sa myself before I ask, Fran)

5:07 am

you'll find it amanda, it's not a strange one.

5:13 am

another 7-8 combo, but still not the sa - gimme another nudge, Fran. I'm not seeing it

5:14 am

I have in8 and sa8. Does anyone have the other 8?

5:14 am

amanda, it builds off an sa5

5:14 am

su8

5:14 am

Thank you, I go looking.

5:14 am

thanks kitofers

5:15 am

Thank you - found it.

5:16 am

ahh, got it! Thx fran!

5:17 am

Taking a break.

5:19 am

is there more than one sa5?

5:20 am

there are 2 sa5

5:20 am

yeah, thats a problem then :)

5:21 am

build on the sa5/10

Anyone know what happened to Lickety's clue list

5:21 am

but the sa8 builds of the holy one, not the nasal one

5:21 am

one of the sa5's might not like the other one

5:21 am

sorry-the nasal one is an su not an sa, but still....

5:22 am

Hi Eva, rumple! I think Lickety's taking a break from list-making

5:22 am

hi amanda!

5:28 am

anybody got the other y? I've got what small dogs do...

5:32 am

yl4/7 is another y

5:32 am

HEY FRIENDS

5:32 am

HOW R U ALL?

5:33 am

can any body help me out how to do this?

5:34 am

well, of course - who wouldn't have thought to look for that, Haz - thanks!

5:35 am

HaRoOn - read the rules, then take a look at Angelsong's Babble Page (link under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page) - then if you still have questions, we'll be happy to help

5:35 am

Hi everyone. HaRoOn. New myself. You have to make works out of the letters in the box. Suggest you try help first though.

5:38 am

the sa8 is so obvious i cant believe i only just figured it out

5:39 am

kitofers: hint on the sa8?

5:40 am

scroll down, FranMag already hinted on it

5:43 am

Got it. Thx!

5:48 am

evening all *hugs*

5:48 am

Hi Rlee!

5:53 am

5:59 am

6:00 am

6:36 am

what do the other 8's start with

6:37 am

supposed to hit 101 today

6:37 am

Hi peri! It seems to be giving everyone trouble - did me too. It's obvious once you find it. The other two are 7-8 combos, 1xin and 1xsu

6:38 am

thanks amanda *looking*

6:38 am

peri, where are you located? it is awfully hot in NY

6:38 am

6:58 am

morning all

6:58 am

Hi charm!

6:59 am

Hi, amandacath. should I be afraid of such a short grid? lol

7:00 am

I'd say it's about 50/50 - half normal, half monkeying

7:00 am

that's not good odds for me....

7:01 am

'cept the 2nd half is really frustrating!

7:01 am

hi charm

7:01 am

Hi, Anniebrook.

7:03 am

good afternoon all

7:03 am

hey, Kallia

7:03 am

Hi Kallia!

7:15 am

well done Amanda

7:15 am

so, howsabout some of those other 7s and 8s????

7:15 am

Good morning everyone! Jera it is good to see you!

7:15 am

Good to be here, musicmom... I've missed you guys!

7:16 am

I was thinking of you the other day. But, I haven't been around much either so I didn't know if maybe we were just missing each other. Sorry to hear there has been illness

7:17 am

I HATE summer colds!!! Makes the fever feel even more unbearable...

7:17 am

in7/8...first letter/s

7:17 am

ok, one of the 7-8 combos is a time device, one = first

7:17 am

I agree Jera.

7:17 am

i m stuck after 20 words

7:18 am

help me any body

7:18 am

Allergies are our big issue. All the rain we have had coupled with the heat is making me miserable

7:18 am

Keep staring HaRoOn

7:18 am

amanda can you clue the other 8 plese ?

7:18 am

thanks, Kallia

7:18 am

I'm torn whether to take Gwyd in to the doctor... if it's just a bad cold, I hate to drag him out in this horrible heat, plus wasting the money...

7:19 am

Kallia, the other 8 is holiness

7:19 am

Jera, how old is he? Mine's 4yo and has a terrible temp, so we're off to the pediatrician later.

7:19 am

How long has he been sick?

7:19 am

Sprite got sick at camp (which is where the rest of us got this lovely present)... I was afraid it might be a mold allergy... I rained like crazy the 2 weeks she was there... I think they hd 4 sunny days...

7:19 am

thank yu amanda

7:20 am

UGH! That is a miserable camp

7:20 am

Gwyd is 4 1/2 thermometer says 99.3, but then he's coughing, which makes you feel warm

7:20 am

She had a blast anyway, caught all kinds of fish!

7:20 am

Anyone got a hint for do 6/24

7:20 am

Hi musicmom

7:21 am

Excellent! Usually the kids aren't hindered by the rain - it's the counselors:-)

7:21 am

Hi Annie

7:21 am

Gwyd started feeling snuffly Wednesday, coughing a bit at night since then. Then yesterday all you know what broke lose. Actually Saturday night, he coughed all night

7:21 am

Jera hope your little one gets better soon....coughs can last a long time

7:21 am

Angb...count the spots!

7:21 am

Angb - a game, the thing you play it with, or Kim Basinger in a Bond movie

7:22 am

ooo, good one Kallia!

7:22 am

do 6/24 a game with tiles

7:22 am

I think I would wait another day or so Jera. Especially since the fever is low grade

7:22 am

ty Amanda

7:23 am

Thx - time for bed I think.

7:23 am

That's kind of what I'm thinking, musicmom... he is drinking, but not much appetite. No throwing up thank the gods...

7:23 am

I agree but if the cough continues coupled with the lowgrade fever a doctor visit might be a good idea

7:23 am

just checking in before I go out. how many words today?

7:23 am

Thanks, Anniebrook... I HATE coughing. It's one of those things that really grate on my nerves...

7:23 am

160

7:23 am

As long as he isn't getting dehydrated the body is equipped to take care of this kind of thing.

7:24 am

thanks annie. by all bbl to play.

7:24 am

I have coughed all my life. Used to make my mom insane

7:24 am

That's kind of what I was thinking... but summer school is only 4 weeks so I hate for him to miss! But going to the doctor's office, you can pick up even worse than what you have!

7:25 am

my daughter was a cougher when she was younger. that was my night music. keep him/her watered. mm is right. annie is just fine.

7:25 am

I'll keep him in my prayers Jera.

7:25 am

He's drinking lemonade & I even let him have one of my slimfasts yetserday... he loves those!

7:26 am

EEEWWWW that would make me throw up:-))

7:26 am

just what I was thinking musicmom :)

7:27 am

Actually, since they changed the formula, the knock-off brand is better! I don't like the low-carb variety which is about all you can find these days

7:28 am

Well you can give Gwyd mine<giggle>

7:29 am

Sprite liked them when she was little... the doctor warned me against letting her have too much, since it's an adult vitamin ratio... can be bad for kids.

7:29 am

We froze some & made homemade milkshake popsicles

7:30 am

That might be better. There is a slime factor I don't like to the drink. I like the meal bars

7:30 am

I'm usually too cheap to buy them.

7:30 am

I use to take them when I taught school because I could eat at my desk.

7:30 am

The Equate (knockoff brand) has no slime factor, at least not to me. I know what you mean

7:30 am

My schedule was tight - didn't have a lot of time for meals

7:31 am

Okay. I better get into the grid. I have Bible Study today and Sarah has band tonight

7:31 am

Good talking with you, MM... I'll shut up so we both can get cracking...

7:32 am

LOL I missed talking to you. Glad to see you again. I hope Gwyd gets better

Manic Day! Clues are up.

7:54 am

i have a game i see if i can make em laugh !!!!

7:54 am

I hate the feeling that I should just hang up but then I may actually be the next customer.

7:54 am

It's a real catch 22 because if you hang up then you have to start over again.

7:54 am

M3 ....what oi's?

i know but wouldn't blame them apolige to the women or man that they have not to worry about keeping you wainting as you can always feel rejected by another telco

7:55 am

Hi macadam! good to see you here!

8:09 am

Morning BGL. I'm back everyone. Of course I couldn't get through.

8:09 am

welcome back, mm

i couldn't do yesterdays as server crashed, not happy

8:10 am

MM~ what's your cartoon say?

8:10 am

"Pete the Gardner Snake picked an unfortunate moment to try out his fake teeth". The farmer is holding a hoe

8:11 am

8:11 am

8:11 am

good morning, Bsbbloe!

music that doesn't bode quiet right on the glass of red

8:12 am

8:12 am

morning, angelsong

8:12 am

angb - a teeny bit

8:12 am

G'night, all. Happy babbling!

8:12 am

OOOPS that was the 6/27 sorry

8:13 am

me6/21.towards the middle.Hope this helps.

8:13 am

the grid today is not exactly ea4/6, but after you get over the in7/28 hurdles, it is not too bad.

ours died yesterday music

8:13 am

I get mail fine and the internet is fine but anything I send out has a horrible lag time

8:13 am

Really? I didn't get it, yet. And we've been on since Josh left for work this AM.

8:14 am

A couple days last week it took almost 24 hours to get my mail through. It is really getting on my nerves because we pay a pretty penny for our 'service'.

8:15 am

Angb - for the me6/21, make an adjective for press, TV-news, then change the middle letter

8:15 am

BGL - that's why I haven't been emailing much. I need to call them today too.

8:16 am

BGL - Sarah wants to know if you still have a wrist lyre for marching band.

8:16 am

Omg - got that now ...thx

8:16 am

Understand. Just thought it was strange you hadn't replied

8:17 am

bbl

music our server has a fit every month

8:17 am

Well I think it is about time I get a discount.

hi macadam!

8:18 am

It is hard because a lot of my job requires email communication. Customers need quick feedback and I can't provide it.

thats rude music we have the thought its more than likely our modem thingy thats a bit silly

8:19 am

Are there any ps words?

no there isn't bl

8:20 am

Good! And thank you.

8:20 am

Do you BGL?

sor right bgl,

8:22 am

Do I what?

8:22 am

Still have a wrist lyre from marching band

8:23 am

I don

8:24 am

I don't think I ever had one, but I will check my footlocker (that still has all my MB stuff) and see. We weren't allowed to use them

8:24 am

Okay. Sarah needs one but I thought I would ask before we buy one. They obviously aren't allowed to use them in performance but are allowed to use them while putting drill ont he field

8:24 am

Hi Temple owl.About to abandon the game.My monkey had collapsed in the heat from too much typin and neither of us can find the last word.Alas and alack,a lack of brains.Nice to be back anyway.

8:25 am

8:38 am

I think the heat is effecting my already poor typing abilities

8:38 am

I haven't eva

hey clue for the di 7/40 please

8:39 am

It has been running slowly quite frequently lately. I'm thinking Dr. G needs to find a new server.

so minsk its not just me

8:40 am

Good afternoon/morning all.

8:40 am

Morning Haz

8:40 am

good afternoon haz:)

8:40 am

Back to Discworld for me.See some of you tomorrow.Di7 what you do to someone awaiting a kidney transplant.

8:40 am

MM~ No, I don't have one. But I did find a picture I will send you and if either of my neices ever plays oboe for South Pacific, I still have my score and I have my plume if Sarah ever loses hers...

8:41 am

...oook! Nice to see you again Macadam. Take care : )

8:41 am

bye macadam

8:41 am

bye macadam

8:42 am

BGL - thanks for checking. I'll let her know. Though their colors are red and black not white. Haven't seen the plumes yet. The inclement weather uni is nice though.

8:43 am

Actually - I don't think they wear plumes. I think they wear Spartan helmets

8:43 am

okay-wrote to Dr G and then off course it took me forever to get back here

8:43 am

okay-wrote to Dr G and then off course it took me forever to get back here

8:44 am

Actually, I found lots of stuff I forgot I had... like my ceramic Punxy Phil (that we've had since childhood) and My Prince Charles and Lady Di wedding paperdolls.

8:45 am

Hey BGL -- great minds think alike!

8:45 am

I almost chose that one, ch...

8:45 am

Bye for now.Rincewind here I come!!!!

8:46 am

oaky, seems to make more sense to take a break now and come back later to see if the site is working better.

8:46 am

macadam, if you're refrencing TP's books, we've read them all in this house!

8:46 am

BGL - see you needed me to prompt a trip down memory lane:-))

8:47 am

I found your prom pic, I will mail it to you...

8:47 am

OH NO which one? Frank or Jimmy?

8:47 am

Jimmy

8:47 am

I loved that dress:-))

8:48 am

It has been weird getting back in touch with people from my class.

8:48 am

Sarah wanted to know if I found my old boyfriends. I told her I never dated anyone in my class.

8:48 am

ch1212 - new Tiffany Aching book soon - Wintersmith : )

8:49 am

ooo -- we'll keep our eyes peeled. When my beloved first introduced me to Pratchett, he had 32 books and I spent about 2 months devouring them, in order.

bye everyone! back later when the site is better (i hope!) happy babling all!

8:49 am

bye 72

8:50 am

Spoke too soon. Now mine is not taking words

Hi Haz

ROFL! True, Vicuna! I hadn't looked at it that way!

nrkii said the theme was false teeth today and i wasn't inspired so i did color for an extra day

I taste a liquor never brewed, From tankards scooped in pearl; Not all the vats upon the Rhine Yield such an alcohol! Inebriate of air am I, And debauchee of dew, Reeling, through endless summer days, From inns of molten blue. When landlords turn the drunken bee Out of the foxglove's door, When butterflies renounce their drams, I shall but drink the more!

Fiz, your close with the second one, drop the last vowel

ya owl

7:31 pm

Yay owl

7:32 pm

fiz, then add that middle word to make io****d salt (british spelling)

7:32 pm

then last one is british spelling of "make a charged particle"

7:32 pm

sharper image has an air cleaner that does something to the air, change the z to another letter

7:34 pm

leaving us TO?

7:34 pm

later TO!!

7:34 pm

Listen, we all spend our days working hard at whatever it is we do all day - and often without any thanks. So it's nice to spread some around here, even it is for inane (quickly scanning grid to make sure not to use a fish) word play! Not that Babble is inane, mind you....

7:35 pm

Good night TO!

7:36 pm

Fiz, you are so right, it's the little things that we take for granted, but should be remembered to be thankful for.

night owl, i know that this has probable been said but can i get a clue for the io 6/18

7:36 pm

i know what you mean fiz, it's nice that babblers are all so polite and nice to each other!

7:36 pm

Hi Fran!

7:37 pm

mistress, what is done to a particle

7:37 pm

HDM - think british folks making charged particles.

i shouted out a thank you to everyone that put up with my net drama last night very grateful i can tell you

7:37 pm

hdm, it's the british spelling for "make a charge particle"

i got that but isn't that 6/21

7:38 pm

then ther's the one they do to table salt

7:38 pm

Well, pipples, it's bridge night so I can't linger. See you for a bit after the flip! Good luck and may all the words jump out at you!

7:38 pm

if you have the io6/21 it just changes one letter in the middle

7:38 pm

HDM - 6/21 has to do with salt. 6/18 with charges. or perhaps not on your list...

puptone is that a latest addition to the brood?

7:38 pm

mistress, change third letter

7:38 pm

hey jilli! have fun at bridge.

7:39 pm

by jilli - have fun with face-to-face game play!

ok now iam totally lost is there a io 6/21?as i seem to be adding io 6/7

7:40 pm

HDM, there's a io6/21 and a io6/18, only difference is 3rd letter

7:40 pm

there is io 5/12, io 6/21 io6/18 in that order

7:41 pm

You can do it, HDM!

thank you lb i was looking up at the grid not down, ok i am also having trouble with my math today, thank you everyone again, i think i might jsut slap my self and the computer for the drama that its causing

got it

7:41 pm

brb, son wants chocolate milk

fran can i have some milk too please?

7:42 pm

Fireworks !! Hooray!!!

yah pup

7:42 pm

whoo hoo puptone!

7:44 pm

Night all!

7:44 pm

night pup

night pup, i think my monkey is working again

7:44 pm

night pup! HDM - keep an ample supply of bananas on hand!

cant fiz bananas are up to $15 a kilo at the mo so the monkey is not too happy about banana chips (those dried things that remind me of flesh)

7:46 pm

Eww. I wouldn't be to happy either. Maybe that's the problem - monkey on strike for fair wages. Have you tried peanuts?

7:46 pm

yay puptone!! goodnight.

7:47 pm

di7 anybody?

7:47 pm

I think Lysp should be a word. I had one when I was a kid. Less stigma with cool spelling.

7:47 pm

Think kidney machines process....

arrr peanuts good idea, miller it means when your kidneys go kaput they put yyou on ?

7:48 pm

miller, verb form of what kidney patients have to go through to clean their blood

7:48 pm

Miller - it's kidney machine related. Think what you used to do with the phone before buttons plus ly word meaning to split cells

7:49 pm

ty all. I would spell it differently, but this game seems to have a British slant.

7:49 pm

very true miller.

7:49 pm

True, miller -wait 'til you get to the IOs.

7:50 pm

Miller, it will take either spelling it seems. But the letters have to be there for the right one....

7:50 pm

(that's eye-oh, not ten)

yep british english

7:51 pm

BJ, thanks for continuing your clue list...didn't expect it up so early last night when i had barely half the words and was stuck!! :-)

7:52 pm

Headache had me down all day, so was up till the wee hours. Usually in bed an hour before flip.

10:09 pm
