We are all fine. My daughter is busy being a spokesperson for the State Dept and my officer , but all are fine.son-in-law is never home

12:17 am

ARB, I want you to know that we've decided that you need regular check in times so that no one will worry. :D

12:17 am

good to hear arb. all but the part about your son in law never being home. :)

12:18 am

And tonight's phantom words are: "monkey" and "crayon"

12:18 am

I usually come on at this time -- it's 8 a.m. in Israel and I sip my coffee and work on the grid for a while. If i don't finish, I come on later in my day.

12:18 am

mine is canyon

12:19 am

ARB, please stop trying to reassure us with mere logic. It won't work.

12:19 am

Hello ARB. Good to hear your news - do keep in touch regularly as we are all thinking of you constantly during these dreadful times.

Good morning FMitch - I'm an early bird today! Too warm to sleep, plus Spangle wanted out of her kennel.

1:49 am

Morning Haz, it's going to be a warm one today!! How are you finding the grid so far or have you just started?

1:50 am

I've been going for a little while. It's tricky but some nice words emerging.

1:52 am

I keep thinking the words are about to dry up and then I spot another one.

1:53 am

Done! goodnight!

1:53 am

I think when it's a smaller word total you don't feel under the same pressure to find words quickly. Most of mine are individuals, just one sequence so far.

1:53 am

Good night wassup.

1:54 am

Would that be the 3c's Haz?

What - no 'liony'?

1:55 am

The three c's indeed.

limon

1:55 am

'Cos enable lives in a world of it's own Student!

1:55 am

Although, I suppose the ey4 words should count.

I hate O words.

1:58 am

Funnily enough I was just looking at the o's I have managed 1 so far.

1:58 am

I've got 2....

1:59 am

i have three

1:59 am

the only one i found that made any sense was the plural of mining-stuff. the others have just been typing-characters at semi-random...

1:59 am

lol thanks felton, didn't have that one yet

I got 27 words, and am stuck. Darn it.

O should be like Q. It should come with a second letter. Much easier.

2:01 am

Thanks, now I have 2 x o!!

2:01 am

yono

2:01 am

I am finding the O's much easier than the Y's.

2:01 am

I am finding the O's much easier than the Y's.

2:01 am

one is a large body of water

2:01 am

thank you! that was the one i was missing! :)

2:02 am

how many Y words does everyone have?

2:02 am

i am still missing one o

2:02 am

thanks for those o's!! Hi Munner

2:02 am

oy4/6 comes off the top o twice

2:03 am

i only have 2 thatre what hold oxen. clues?

2:04 am

hi there FMitch

2:04 am

yo4/6 - days of old, yo4/6 add opposite of out, but reverse the letters

2:05 am

Morning all.......another beautiful day has dawned......and a new grid too......

2:05 am

Good morning Flask1. It is lovely today, but so warm!

2:05 am

graicias! :)

2:05 am

Those are the same three yo words that I have.

2:06 am

yes Haz......too hot for me am afraid...:(

2:06 am

Morning Flask

2:06 am

Just monkeyed this one: y 4/10 sounds like the Chinese stir-fry cooker

2:07 am

Thanks Munner - or a new breed of animal?

2:08 am

Well found Munner.

2:10 am

the toy yoyo doesn't count. cries

2:12 am

yay have both of the sevens

2:12 am

if you have one, the other is a vowel off

2:12 am

ey4/6 and ey5/14 - looks like a literary heroine's surname, but are apparently circuit courts held by mediaeval itinerant judges in England. Educational game or what?

2:13 am

LOL

2:17 am

ye4/10 and pl - sounds like "To throw or toss with a quick abrupt motion" or "A dull and stupid person"

2:18 am

Morning. What a strange grid today. First time I've seen four y's.

2:18 am

Beautiful description, thank you.

2:18 am

2:21 am

Clues pls

2:21 am

Clues pls

2:21 am

Clues pls

2:21 am

It's a place name so it doesn't count. But it's a beautiful city if you ever get the chance to visit, Jemma.

2:21 am

york is a place and yoyo is a trademark

2:21 am

ty!

2:22 am

Clues pls

2:23 am

Clues to what? You must mention a word, such as r5/18 for us to give you a clue!

2:23 am

LOL hydra - there are too many y's, o's, c's and e's!!

2:23 am

Got everything between the as and y's. Two boxes left. Not bad for sleepless in Atlanta.

2:23 am

adam se4/8 top right hand corner what you have to do to find words

2:24 am

Clues pls

2:24 am

Anyone Clues pls

2:24 am

Clues pls

2:24 am

adam - start by looking for 4 letter words. You need to do some work for yourself and not expect to have words given out at random.

2:24 am

thanks mari

2:24 am

adam can you stop posting "clues pls" every 30 seconds, yo uwill end up annoying everyone.

2:25 am

Ok FMitch

2:25 am

But can I pls have some clues I only have 4 words

2:26 am

Look at the f in the in the bottom corner there is a 4 letter word right there

2:26 am

adam1, we all only had 4 works when we first started looking. Exercise a little patience and alot of hunting.

2:26 am

Adam - look for some words beginning with ey. Also look for a type of Indian boat. There's a jungle animal in there, what happens to your teeth if you eat too many sweets, and a word for ghostly or scary.

2:26 am

Does it go FE

2:26 am

Have a look at Babblers Anonymous beneath the grid. Keep clicking general till you get a list of today's words - the start letter and number of letters in the word. And work from there! That's what I do, once I can't find any more by myself. Or look at Licketys Babble Clues. Link beneath grid.

Hello Everyone!

2:27 am

yes it does adam

2:27 am

hey prperisdent

2:27 am

Hi, MrP!

2:27 am

2:28 am

Yay! y's are gone. Found two words I thought I had already tried.

2:29 am

2:29 am

WTG Munner. MrP M&S isn't what it used to be and I think is overpriced now.

2:30 am

Hi Preethi

I'm slow to find the ye words, Mujnner. You;ve done well.

Tesco just as good hey?

2:30 am

thanks Haz1558

2:30 am

It's time to try reading. Nothing good on American TV in the middle of the night.

2:32 am

Bye Jemma see you next time. I guess a brandy would be out of the question Munner

yude should be a word... I use it enough 'yude better pick up that mess or yude be sorry!'

2:33 am

coffee with a brandy in would be nice this time of day!

2:33 am

Can I have some clues

2:33 am

So true MrP - there are more almost y's than there are real ones in the grid.

2:34 am

York = to bowl a yorker in cricket.....a legit word!

2:34 am

Try telling that to the enable dic Ray!!

I wanted rerecarpeted yesterday.!!

2:41 am

LOL!

2:41 am

LOL!!!!

2:42 am

FMitch, thanks for the K-hint. Got both uklies out of the way.

2:43 am

:) Thought I would give you a push in the right direction so you could put them to bed and enjoy the rest of the grid.

2:43 am

Worked like a charm :)

2:45 am

Well, I have made it as far as 64 words but the wall has suddenly appeared.

2:46 am

My wall has appeared after only 44, FMitch. Coffee for me now. See you all later.

2:46 am

ditto - im now using the babblers-anon list and grinding-slowly... sigh...

2:46 am

can I have some clues

2:46 am

ByTTFN hydra

2:47 am

Oops time for me to make some calls back in a bit.

2:47 am

have you gotten the am.indian-boat?

2:47 am

I only have 21 and am still in the blissful state of seeing them faster than I can type. Will join you at the wall in a few minutes, of course.

2:47 am

no

2:47 am

hfelton: don't forget the plural.

2:48 am

and past-tense-verb, but i was waiting for him to find the base-word first... ;)

2:48 am

and the past tense.

2:49 am

:)

2:51 am

clues pls

2:52 am

grab a beer-*** and dont take ** for an answer...

2:53 am

grab a beer*** what

2:54 am

hfelton?

2:55 am

hfelton?

2:56 am

hfelton?

2:56 am

weird - im getting some odd effects here...

2:57 am

hfelton I asked you a question

2:57 am

adam - stop typing in the same thing over again. You'll annoy people and they won't respond.

2:57 am

Stop telling me that

2:57 am

I know

2:57 am

my clue was for the ca5/12 word which is an am.indian boat.

2:57 am

I second that, Haz.

2:57 am

Ijust thought he might have run away

2:58 am

Me too, Haz and sprite

2:58 am

Well, if so, he cannot read all your messages, right?

2:58 am

Ditto

2:58 am

something happened with my xx-hours left symbol, where it said less-than-1-minute. was that for the legendary fireworks?

2:58 am

yep

2:58 am

Well duh sprite

2:58 am

hfelton: you probably had to refresh. It happens sometimes.

2:59 am

bummers - i was at 70 - and still really struggling... sigh

2:59 am

ha ha

2:59 am

whoops that was my sister

2:59 am

nite, all--10 left!

2:59 am

wtg liba, sleep well :)

3:00 am

Then please listen to what people say. Try to find the following words. yo4/10 - in the middle of an egg. Make it plural (add an s). oc5/12 - lots of water, like the Atlantic or Pacific. dy4/8 when hair is coloured it is this. ca5/12 - the indian boat, then make it plural, and make it past tense of a verb.

3:00 am

nite liba. wtg

3:00 am

nite lib - I havve 35 left and it's bedtime -- well, past bedtime

3:01 am

nite, sprit, hfelton & jilli--see you tomorrow

3:01 am

Night jilli :)

3:01 am

I think you're wasting your time trying to be polite to adam1, he (presumably) is obviously determined to upset people. Just ignore him & eventually he'll go away.

3:02 am

Well said Ray!

3:02 am

thx ray - wilco

3:02 am

Agreed, Ray.

3:03 am

Ray - I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt so far, as he may be young and not aware of the etiquette here. We'll see if the behaviour improves, if not, I can ignore with the best of them!

3:03 am

But thanks for the sea clue, Haz, had not spotted that yet ;)

3:04 am

what's the indian boat I can't find it. pls tell me

3:04 am

adam - move on to another clue.

3:04 am

We never tell words, adam. The fun of the game is to find them yourself.

thanks for the clues haz

3:04 am

it starts with Ca***

3:04 am

pls I need that word

3:04 am

I'm desperate

3:04 am

I'm desperate

3:05 am

Okay, I reached the ignore-phase.

3:05 am

Sorry I made a mistake

3:06 am

pls

3:06 am

pls listen

3:07 am

At 50 and joining you guys at the wall.

3:07 am

There is a big long line of us now sprite :) Didn't find a single word whilst on the phone :(

3:08 am

I'm at 55 and crawling....

3:08 am

At least we are in good company :)

3:08 am

Well said :)

3:08 am

I can claim to have the 2 sevens.

3:09 am

I only have one, the De44.

3:09 am

found the indian boat

What do they begin with Haz?

3:09 am

Oh me too, nice proper words as well.

3:09 am

There are two de7/44. Change a vowel.

3:09 am

haz - i can claim to have the two sevens, too. of course, i can claim to be a size 6. ;)

3:10 am

Argh, that obvious hm... thanks Haz :)

3:10 am

LOL Darci

3:10 am

Both extend on de5/18,

3:11 am

deco

3:11 am

dammit

3:11 am

sorry

3:11 am

Keep going Darci.....

3:11 am

I blame the site, I blame the site, I blame the site ;)

3:12 am

well, i got one of em! :)

3:12 am

Now change the last vowel for the other de5

3:13 am

and now i have both of them and i don't have to just "claim" it anymore! :)

3:13 am

course, i'm still not a size 6

3:13 am

I can use a de5 until I de5, but it will not remove that darn wall.

3:13 am

ah well. time to call it a night. thanks for hints!

3:13 am

That's just what I was about to ask!

3:13 am

Night Darci, lol. :)

3:16 am

ok - im trying the bablers-anon site and assume the list is alphabetical and im STILL having trouble with the last item, namely a yo5/14. anyone got clues? btw - this is not my last word, just one to search for. tia.

3:16 am

Am struggling to lengthen the 2 de words...

3:16 am

plural of olden times, Hfelton.

3:17 am

Flask: the person doing the De5.

thanks Jen

3:17 am

Flask - make it the person who does the action, using the comparative ending if that's any help.

3:17 am

Found a fish and a bird, not to mention the big cat in the grid so far.

3:17 am

Och yesssss.....thankyou!

3:22 am

hello

3:22 am

Ah, hadn't even spotted my! The mi4 is a unit of currency.

3:22 am

And that currency has a plural, but not the bird.

3:23 am

We're picking up speed again....

3:23 am

3:24 am

Oh nice one sprite, didn't have the pl. You are catching me up fast sprite.

sprite, the embellished type one?

3:55 am

Thanks Sprite

3:55 am

I can't imagine how to pronounce that one sprite.

3:56 am

It means describe, depict by painting.

3:56 am

haz, i think it's like the fruit, but i'm going to check.

3:56 am

Me neither, Haz, indeed.

3:58 am

looks like short i, silent last consonant

3:58 am

Thanks Sprite

3:58 am

Makes me want to put 'bo' at the end.

3:59 am

That would make sense FranMag, otherwise it would be a real mouth mangler rather than a tongue twister.

4:00 am

clue for the ca 5/12?

4:00 am

true haz.

4:00 am

preethi, water vehicle

4:00 am

ca5/12 - type of light boat, as used by native Americans and adventurous young people.

4:02 am

Thanks Fran, Haz

4:03 am

Hehehe, glad to oblige. I just found it, I thought I'd share.

4:04 am

Hi all! Looks like another odd one...

4:15 am

Social instability caused by erosion of standards and values

4:17 am

4:17 am

4:17 am

Fran - The 7's both start de

4:18 am

Okay, sorry about that, little domestic crisis came up.

4:18 am

thanks fmitch!

4:18 am

Fmitch, do you have the past tense co4?

4:18 am

sprite, the kind that happens every few minutes when more than 1 child is awake?

4:19 am

the two de7's are the biggies today? Or are there more...

4:19 am

yay, found the other 7!

4:20 am

There are 2 x co4/6 and I have the one that is to do with college according to the def

4:20 am

those are the biggest amanda...i'm telling the truth this time! :-)

4:20 am

No, kids are at school. More like when the washing machine crashes and someone is willing to do some washing for you, if she can use your car to drive the stuff to her home... and the car breaks down.

4:20 am

Co4/5: one is the drug/drink, one is the past tense.

4:21 am

good, then I've got them. The other co4/6 is the drug and/or drink, Mitch

4:21 am

now that is a crisis!! lol

4:21 am

I mean Co4/6!

4:21 am

Thanks amanda will go look for it.

4:21 am

It qualifies as crisis in my book, anyway, lol.

4:23 am

What an easy one not to see!!! I hate it when that happens. Many thanks all and am done.

4:23 am

yay fmitch!!!!

4:23 am

Yay mitch!

4:26 am

4:26 am

BJs is up amanda

4:30 am

4:30 am

hi kallia

4:30 am

i agree sprite

4:30 am

Hi Kallia!

4:31 am

my head is bleeding from banging my head against the monitor... (j/k) im still struggling with that past-tense of co4/6-drink. is it really staring at me?

4:31 am

it's one of the things i love about babble

4:31 am

I'm finished, but who is eeyore?

4:31 am

A friend of Winny the Pooh, Merk.

4:31 am

one of winnie the pooh's friends

4:31 am

Yay Merk! Hi Kallia! Eeyore is a character in Winnie the Pooh

4:31 am

I know his place in storybooks, but I didn't think that animal was in the grid today. But then I'm sleepy today.

4:31 am

well done you finishers :)

4:31 am

Same here, Beast. It's what makes this site special, all helpful people sharing fun.

4:32 am

Not the animal, the exact name, Merk. And therefore not valid :(

4:32 am

co 4 is the first syllable of the rival of Pepsi. The full name's first four letters.

4:33 am

hfelton, i think that was the person at college co4/6

4:33 am

But there are quite a few animals in the log log including an alt name for the garner friend of Winnie the Pooh!

4:33 am

Duh! I get it. There are enough crazy words that we should have the donkey.

4:34 am

my 4yo has her jumper on as trousers with one leg in each arm. she cracks me up

4:34 am

*gardener friend

4:35 am

hmm - cross-checking with babble-anon, i see im missing co4/5 and co5/16. im assuming that co5/16 is past-tense of something?

4:36 am

Co5/16 is a comparative of a Co3.

4:36 am

i am missing 2 of the ey words

4:37 am

Co4/5 is alt. spelling of the rabbity one.

4:37 am

thanks for the co5 sprite

4:37 am

kalea: do you have the last name of the famous Jane and her plural?

4:38 am

Perfectly willing to help with those last 2, kalea... but never with that day camp! LOL

4:38 am

4:40 am

yep, but it can sure be fun, too

4:41 am

4:41 am

Merk you finally have a Chinese flag!

4:41 am

You are a courageous person, kalea :)

4:42 am

5:02 am

hi kate!

5:02 am

'Night Kalea.

5:02 am

Congrats Fran Hey Jacs - did you have a good holiday?

5:02 am

thanks fmitch!

5:03 am

FMitch - lovely thanks, FranMag, though you could play dot-to-dot with the mossie bites on our legs! Autan doesn't work in Crete. Will do a travelogue soon for BabAnon.

5:04 am

Haz - when do you go on your African hol?

5:05 am

Hello Jacula - it's scheduled to start on 20th August.

5:05 am

Haz - How long will you be out there?

5:05 am

morning all ! very hot here as well

5:06 am

Morning Kate.

5:06 am

10 days, I think. One night in Nairobi, 2 nights at a lake, 4/5 nights safari, and finishing off in Nairobi for a couple of days.

5:06 am

Haz - You'll need super-strength 'Autan' for the lake nights!

5:06 am

sounds nice haz!

5:07 am

Morning Kateq how hot with yo?

5:07 am

Holiday of dreams though, eh? Will you do a balloon trip to see the animals?

5:08 am

kate, keep yourself cool! can't believe the heatwave you all are having in the mainland.

5:08 am

night everyone

If you need it - Clues are Up! I'm not going to be able to do it tommorrow - I'm away. Gotta run! enjoy.

5:08 am

night adam!

5:08 am

I know! We've been warned to have long sleeves and trousers etc. My only worry is that we have a very restricted luggage allowance on the internal flights, so I'm going to have to be ruthless and take the bare essentials. The balloon trip sounds wonderful, but opinion seems to be divided about it - too hight up and you see nothing, too low and the animals leg it.

5:08 am

I'm in Australia

5:09 am

Lickety - many thanks as always!

5:09 am

hi lickety! bye lickety!

5:09 am

Hi and bye Lickety and thanks

5:09 am

Hi and 'bye Adam and Lickety.

5:10 am

Haz - unless it has to be pre-booked (the balloon trip) perhaps you can decide once there?

5:10 am

Haz - I'm not v. good at travelling light so I sympathise about the luggage allowances!

5:11 am

don't know if you can get in the UK, but Nike makes a material called dri-fit that wicks sweat away from your skin so you can have long sleeved things that will still keep you cool.

5:12 am

thank you--trying to stay cool--it's already aabout 80 degrees at 6 am . Will be 100 or more today

5:12 am

thank you--trying to stay cool--it's already aabout 80 degrees at 6 am . Will be 100 or more today

5:13 am

Know that feeling, Kate!

5:13 am

morning all!

5:13 am

hi pam!

5:13 am

Somehow it's not the clothes that I worry about so much as toiletries etc. I'll have to find sample sizes of things. We'll see about the balloon trip when we're there. It's been fun watching 'Bit Cat Diary' as it gives a real flavour of what we'll see. If I spot Toto, the baby cheetah, I'll let you know.

5:13 am

BIg Cat diary - my typing is degenerating.

5:14 am

just buy some small empty toiletries bottles, Haz and decant into them ...

5:14 am

Good morning pam, by the way.

5:14 am

Haz--can you make sample sizes in containers of your own?

5:14 am

and hi :)

5:14 am

i was going to suggest the same thing atalante!

5:15 am

Haz, I used to travel a lot, go to somewhere like Boots, or Superdrug, they sell small empty plastic bottles that you can decant your shampoo, moisturisers, cleansers etc into.

5:15 am

Yes, some of the chemists do little bottles for decanting, so I'll probably do that.

5:15 am

Boots definitely do them

5:15 am

I have also used small, resealable plastic bags as they take up less room

5:15 am

Hi Atalante LOL all great minds on the same thought!

5:16 am

Haz - Superdrug also do those little empty travel bottles.

5:16 am

Yes, and being a dedicated Boots shopper, I have quite a few samples built up of products I use anyway. Sam's problem is going to be shoes. Any thoughts on reducing men's shoes?

5:16 am

You need full-size suncream and after-sun though. And shower gel.

5:16 am

And insect repellent!

5:17 am

Haz - Paul wore his heavy shoes and only packed sandals and sandshoes.

5:17 am

pair of sandal type things that are comfy to walk in, pair of proper shoes. the end :P

5:17 am

love that icon, atalante!

5:17 am

We had a laugh picturing the pair of us wearing as many clothes as we could manage - a pair of Michelin men staggering onto a tiny plane.

5:17 am

you'll robably get more than in a regular travel-sized item from manufacturer.

5:18 am

Ata - I've just nicked your icon - love it!:-)

5:18 am

Haz - Paul and I thought of that, too. LOL.

5:18 am

fab isn't it :D

5:19 am

and oh so true! 8-)

5:19 am

LOL Haz

5:19 am

you can certainly end up tying a coat / jumper / both round your waist while travelling ... and you might even be able to lock some stuff away in the hotel in nairobi while you're out safari-ing

5:19 am

When is Enable going to learn that 'drey' is a squirrel's nest??

5:20 am

I'm hoping that is the case (pardon the pun) Atalante. It'll be grand.

5:21 am

have you got the lonely planet guide? they generally say where places are that you canleave luggage safely

5:22 am

No, I haven't, Atalante. We're going on a package and hoping that the tour operator will sort us out.

5:22 am

any clues on ca24

5:22 am

ohhhh then I'm sure they will do :)

5:23 am

5:25 am

'Bye Pam.

5:26 am

5:26 am

well, i'm off to bed, for once i may get a decent night's sleep! Those of you in the mainland please stay cool!!

6:43 am

Good morning all --- it's supposed to be around 102 degrees F in South Idaho too. Yesterday the bank temperature said 107 - ouch!

6:43 am

Marso - I well remember the summer of '76! We were vying to stand over the floor vents of the air-conditioning at work!

6:44 am

lol i dont remember it (give age away) lol

6:44 am

i am currently sitting directly in front of the a.c. unit

6:44 am

Marso - my age is on my profile anyway. LOL.

6:44 am

I am sitting in front of a very powerful fan

6:45 am

we lost power yesterday so we're camped out at my future in laws

6:45 am

so glad not got profile lol,,,,,i convinced my now 12 yr old i was 21 for years,,,,,until he heard me on the phone an got quite upset lol

6:45 am

aircon isn't standard in UK houses. Might become so if things keep warming up, though. We have to rely on fans in every room.

6:45 am

Rosalind - have you got a tower fan? They're great.

6:46 am

Jacula- I prefer fans also. I grew up w/o air conditioning and it usually makes me feel cold

6:46 am

im still in work...dread to think what my house is like

Yes its ver good. I am glad I bought it at the weekend. We have ceiling fans as well.

6:46 am

ch - it's time we took our teeth out and found a book. (Icon theme).

6:47 am

Aircon dries both you and the air out. When in Crete for last fortnight we only used it in short bursts. I remember it used to make us ill at work, too.

6:47 am

I did, Jacula :) But I do love your icon!

6:48 am

ch - I need to refresh, I guess.:-)

6:48 am

We use a humidifier now when we sleep because the air con dries out our already dry air

6:49 am

my office is so cold that i usually wear a blanket. i called in sick today

6:50 am

rite me finish work now so spk 2 u all later folks tc :)

6:50 am

bye marso

6:50 am

6:51 am

hi everyone

6:51 am

hi saphyre

6:52 am

how is everone today?

6:52 am

hi saph -- you had that icon up yesterday for awhile, didn't you? I was impressed :)

6:53 am

yes I put it up before I left for work, just got home so now I can finish the grid

6:55 am

for a little grid it's deceptively difficult today. Usually I have at least half within the first 10-15 minutes (if grid up to 250 or less) but after 30 minutes I've only got 29 so far...

6:56 am

When I stopped after a little more than an hour after the flip I only had 59- so 33 to go

6:56 am

i just went to the list with 28 to go

6:56 am

the little grids are deadly :)

6:56 am

I want eeyore!

6:57 am

lol me too Atalante!

6:57 am

6:57 am

Hi atalante -- your icon is great!

6:59 am

good afternoon everybody:)

6:59 am

in the 1920's

6:59 am

hi jean

7:00 am

my grandfather was an Irishman who liked the yankees ... :)

7:01 am

lol

7:04 am

'Minoc' isn't accepted ... then I remembered, it's a made-up word from Star Wars !! Lol

7:04 am

Okay. I've changed my icon to my current favourite author. I was introduced to this author by being given the book in my picture by the lady from the next apartment on holiday. Now I have to read the other 2 in the trilogy!

7:04 am

Coming from Idaho the title sound's interesting (we're known for famous spuds) ... what's the genre?

7:05 am

good morning everyone!

7:06 am

hi annie

7:06 am

hi anniebrook

7:06 am

good morning Annie

7:06 am

It's fiction based on some true fact, ch. The possible story of the real Scrooge (Isaac Solomon) and his deportation to Van Diemen's Land.

7:06 am

short grid but looks fiendish

7:07 am

The potato factory was the place his girlfriend set up to brew poteen.

7:07 am

Sounds interesting -- I may read it. Anniebrook, it is a devilish grid today

7:07 am

ok 28 left - going for the list

7:08 am

go saph go! :)

7:08 am

The trilogy is, as I've just discovered: The Potato Factory, Tommo & Hawk, Solomon's Song.

7:08 am

ch - He's a South African living in Australia - Bryce Courtenay, that is.

7:09 am

Mmm. I'll check out his work. Thanks!

7:10 am

ch , who is the author in your icon?

7:11 am

Kahlil Gibran, author of "The Prophet" among other works.

7:11 am

Anyone need any clues before I go off to do something useful like de-fleaing the cats & the sofa?!

7:11 am

7:13 am

pabtrek - cy6/30 is, apparently the pattypan squash. First three letter are those of a brass percussion instrument & last 3 of most of a word for what you draw with a ruler.

7:13 am

well my beloved needs the laptop for awhile so I'll be back later.

7:13 am

thanks Jacula

7:14 am

My son spilt water on his laptop whilst I was away. It now only works with a separate keyboard plugged in! Not great for portability.:-(

7:59 am

evanadine there are 2 ca 6's

7:59 am

The 7's build off of two de5/18 words differing by only one vowel.

8:00 am

ahhh....i had the past-tense, not the plural!

8:01 am

Btw tiny, I loved the Nancy Drew books when I was younger -- wonderful stories. I especially liked her friend 'George' (I think that was her name.)

8:02 am

ch1212, I just bought a series of 4 Nancy Drew books this week at Barnes and Noble, so that I could read them again.

8:02 am

Thanks ch1212 georgie she was also great

8:03 am

I'm Jealous my daughter does not understand why I liked them

8:04 am

We have a B&N in our town now, and a Hastings which carries used books, but I wish we had a Borders Books. Tiny, I tired to interest my daughter in Nancy Drew, Louisa May Alcott, and so on, but no such luck.

8:04 am

It is easy to order books off of Amazon.com.

8:05 am

I must try that and E-Bay Thanks

8:05 am

True enough. We do have several used book stores and thrift shops here, and I love to go hunting --- that's so much fun in itself!

8:05 am

Girls of today dont read like we used to I also liked louisa May Alcott

8:05 am

phantom word (today AND yesterday, oddly enough: minion

8:06 am

Any hints on the an 5/16?

8:06 am

I have even found out of print books on Amazon, and they come from all over the place. You can review the condition, price, etc. and choose the best ones.

abebooks.com

8:08 am

8:08 am

I didn't know that about Abe's, Atalante. I discovered it after my dad passed in January -- he had thousands of old Westerns and such. You're right, Tiny -- books are too expensive to ship overseas...

8:09 am

there's a lot of sellers on abe australia!

8:09 am

abebooks lets you specify which country.

8:10 am

Didn't know about Abebooks that is good Thanks

The only LKH I can recommend are the VERY early ones. "Guilty Pleasures" is amongst my faves.

8:23 am

I recognise him Haz, but can't think who he is

8:23 am

what's funny is we read all these people, but usually don't know much what they look like

8:23 am

Trying again.

8:23 am

Randy Alcorn is an author I have been reading recently and really enjoy.

8:24 am

8:27 am

I see a lot of brilliant author names here.

Ex-Wren good one! I read some of Haz' stories yesterday at BabAnon -- she is an excellent writer. Should be published.

8:32 am

I've read the books ex-Wren, but he doesn't compare to P G Wodehouse!

8:33 am

yes, mickey spillane fan here, always sorry to hear of his death

8:33 am

yes music mom, he has many many many short stories about being a vet in yorkshire

8:33 am

meant *also* not always, the heat is getting to me early today

8:33 am

that's what I thought. He is good.

8:33 am

Anniebrook, when I heard Assimov had died, I actually pulled over in my car and cried. He was such a favorite when I was growing up -- his science books as wells as his science fiction.

8:34 am

ok, i switched icons

8:34 am

Haz you really should try to publish -- you are such a gifted writer.

8:34 am

BGL - did you find an icon?

8:35 am

Oh ch ....when these great ones die you realize no more books for us to read.....what a loss!!!!! the new ones that is

8:36 am

the new books that will be no more but we reread the old ones again and again

8:36 am

That's very nice of you to say ch1212 - I've always enjoyed writing but I know my limitations! I'm glad you enjoyed the stories, I'll try to add some more.

8:36 am

And read the new authors who sat at their feet, Annie...

8:37 am

heh, how many chatrooms on the internet have these kinds of discussions?

8:37 am

probably a small percent!

8:37 am

I don't know feather this is the only chat room I do

8:38 am

I'm just thankful that we can have these discussions here and not just talk about the grid all the time. I'm mad at the grid right now and don't want to talk about it

8:38 am

One of my favorites is Gabriel Marques Garcia. Tried to get his pic as my icon but I cant do it. Jacula tried to help me but I am so computer illiterate it is pitiful.

caes

8:38 am

;) music mom

8:39 am

Time to leave, sadly. Hope your grid issues get settled musicmom....

8:39 am

Oh his "100 Years of Solitude" was breathtaking!

8:39 am

Isabel Allende.

8:39 am

Bye haz. I may need list therapy today:-[)

8:39 am

hi! clue please for the 2nd co4,6 I have monkeytypd and not found it!!

8:39 am

bye Haz.

8:40 am

Also Isabel Allende, she is good!

8:40 am

Charm I tried to plow through Daughter of Fortune but for some reason just couldn't get into it. Maybe I need to pick it up again.

8:40 am

2nd co4/6 = a mixed gender college/dorm.

8:40 am

whydo I miss these so obvious ones? pounds head on wall.

8:41 am

thanks!

8:41 am

me too emusing

8:41 am

ch, pick up Love in the Time of Cholera if you enjoyed 100 years of Solitude. He is mesmerizing.

8:41 am

Try Eva Luna.

8:41 am

I will, anniebrook... like someone said earlier, I'll need to save this chat log!

8:42 am

charm, will get a book by Eva Luna. might go onto amazon.com later. thanks

8:42 am

I think BGL got lost looking for an icon

8:43 am

I get the impression I wasn't the only little child who lost herself in books... I inhaled them, and probably wouldn't have survived without my friends on the shelves of my room :)

8:43 am

Sorry, Anniebrook - "Eva Luna" is the title of a book by I. Allende which I enjoyed very much.

8:43 am

oh, the author of Beautiful Joe!

8:43 am

Oh LOL!!! no wonder i never heard of her. will get the book.

8:44 am

Me too charm.

8:44 am

Ch - mom used to send me out to "play" in the summer. I would take a book out and read outside:-) I lived for the summer reading programs at the library. Now my girls are going. I still can totally immerse myself in books.

8:44 am

Although I am a voracious reader now, I got a very late start, probably 12 or 13 before I discovered the joy of escaping into books. After that, I escaped into the library every week - much to my mother's dismay....

8:45 am

My mom used to say an earthquake could tumble the house down and I wouldn't notice if I was reading!

8:45 am

speaking of reading, i'm reading to my son right now! he keeps bringing me books to read

8:45 am

We were within walking/biking distance of the library when I was growing up. One of the best things about this house we just bought is we can walk/bike to the library from here.

8:45 am

do other people here end up reading about 4 books at once?

8:45 am

I've been known to hold a book and read while cooking dinner.

8:45 am

That's great, featherbee -- every study shows a strong connection between parents who read to their kids and kids who grow up loving to read (and doing much better in school)

8:45 am

Whenever my mother got mad at me and wanted to punish me for not following orders, she'd threaten to throw out all my books. That kept me in line better than anything else!

8:46 am

ever read while taking a walk?

8:46 am

ch, i spent my childhood in the library after school. i used to read by flashlight under my covers at night. I feel lost if I do not have a book waiting to be read

8:46 am

music, i have read and knitted at the same time, lol

8:46 am

I always do feather!

8:46 am

Ata - I didn't used to do that. I used to read one at a time. The older I get the more books I read simultaneously

8:46 am

Okay, show of hands: How many of us have one book/mag in the bathroom, another by the bed, another we read while eating, another being read in the a.m. ... and so on?? (me!)

8:46 am

me!

8:46 am

ME ME ME!!!!!

8:46 am

me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:46 am

i get to type a few words in quickly here while he picks out the next book

8:46 am

me!

8:46 am

Atalante, only 4???? At the moment, I'm reading a romance, Walter Miller's Canticle for Liebowitz, Fat White Vampire Blues, and two books of poetry. Plus whatever my 4yo wants me to read to him.

8:47 am

:D I knew it! I love you all! {{{{{ hugs }}}}}

8:47 am

((((((ch1212)))))))

8:48 am

my daughter has been reading Nicole Ritchie "The truth about Diamonds"

8:48 am

In only have 2 books on the go right now but also 4 embroidery projects too.

8:48 am

I'm currently reading - The 5th Horseman (James Patterson), Heave (Randy Alcorn), The Five Love Languages of Children (Gary Chapman), The Bible (God), Family Fun magazine, Quick and Tasty Magazine, and my Greek text book.

8:48 am

Fmitch I like Cross Stitch

8:48 am

Oh yeah - I have three sewing projects in the work and this miserable grid.

8:49 am

now I'm trying to think what I;m reading. Rossetti's biography, Frida Kahlo's biography, A Short History of Myth (Karen Armstrong), Night Play (Sherrilun Kenyon), The Moon of Gomrath (Alan Garner), Kushiel's Scion (Jacqueline Carey) and whatever happens to be lurking in the loo. LOL

8:49 am

That's more than 4 ata

8:49 am

i tend to only read one or two at a time, a fiction, and a informational book

8:49 am

Has anyone read the Kite Runner?

8:50 am

right now, i have to put up a pot of coffee then sit down to this miserable grid and , of course, Lillian Hellman....

8:50 am

8:50 am

Here's a wonderful quote from Gibran speaking on Friendship (to you fellow babblers): "And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."

8:50 am

There there musicmom, I saw the grid was giving you greif Tiny I love crossstich, thats my roots but I do my own creations now with dyeing andapplique, etc.

8:50 am

but should be read

8:51 am

but should be read

8:51 am

I need to go refill my coffee cup and then find the last 27 bloomin words that are hiding from me.

8:51 am

like now i'm reading JD Robb, Memory in Death, and Awakening the Buddha Within

8:51 am

I also like to read cookbooks. Only 2 more words to find, the re's.

8:51 am

I love to read cookbooks!

8:51 am

I love to read cookbooks!

8:51 am

Atalante, we have most of Karen Armstrong's books -- I have gone through 3 copies of "History of God" because I keep lending it and don't get it back! (What's ironic is I have lent it out to 2 ministers!)

8:52 am

I have a World Vegetarian cookbook that is very interesting.

8:52 am

okay, I really ought to get some babbling done ... later!

8:52 am

Highly, highly, highly recommend Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own." I think every woman should keep a copy near her.

8:52 am

i love reading cookbooks. that was a beautiful quote, ch

8:52 am

her books are wonderful! I've only read 2 - the one about her life as a nun, and this history of myth, but I'd like to read more

8:52 am

phantom word..economy

8:53 am

Bye ch1212

8:53 am

Yes Ch - I very much enjoyed the quote

my phantom too, lk!

8:54 am

Good morning Babblers. All your talk about reading is warming this old heart-specially when you reach someone like Woolf, subject of my first thesis

8:54 am

My favourite book is "Goodnight Mr Tom" by Michelle Magourin. I met her and had my copy autographed

8:54 am

good morning, hetty

8:54 am

Armstrong is great too, Atalante

8:55 am

Oh gosh Miss Hetty is here! Okay, quick good morning and I refer you to Gibran's quote at 8:50 am --I thought of you.

8:56 am

good morning all! 92 words, 15 minutes allowed on the computer. Can I do it?

8:56 am

Today is red letter for other reasons: it's my birthday (77), and Stid and famliy are to pay us a call. I saw your reference, ch1212, and appreciate it.

8:59 am

I will give dear Hetty hugs and kisses from so many people, she'll be glad to see us leave!

9:00 am

stid, a hug and kiss to hetty for her birthday from me through you!

9:00 am

That's true, Stid, but I'm not sleeping well, been awake for hours. Excitement. Don't buy any candles--I already have a big one that says there are too many years for there to be candles to correspond--to count

9:00 am

ok. done. ANy clues before I dive into one of the books by my bedside????

9:00 am

9:14 am

good morning to all

9:14 am

Good morning, Dorens.

9:14 am

Hi Dorens -- your icon looks familiar but I can't place him...

9:15 am

hi to all who have come on lately busy searching

9:15 am

John Le Carré

9:15 am

ah. yes. The Tailor of Panama and many more.

9:16 am

did anyone else get the second de 5/18 come up as 5/27

9:16 am

don't know if i really have a favorite author..but I always have loved his work

9:16 am

The only de5/18 I have is rot.

9:16 am

no .. try refreshing, tiny

9:16 am

change the second vowel, vicuna

9:16 am

(Oh, I see what you're saying.)

9:17 am

I did but still the same

9:17 am

Is there anyone here who knows much about the rankings?

9:17 am

Thanks, Dorens.

9:18 am

They are a bit of an enigma Dorens, whats up?

9:18 am

Tiny I had one like that the other day, and some babblers assured me it would all come out in the wash at the end... which it did. Dorens, the Babbler's Anonymous site has a full explanation and chat about the rankings

9:18 am

My summer project is to complete every puzzle for 30 days in a row...Ihave completed them all in the last three weeks, save one (july 5..dayPhoebe was born). evrey day my rank goes up by three points. I completed yesterday's (know I got firewrorks), but today i have had three points subtracted. Not the most important thing in the world, but....

9:22 am

I am as puzzled by the rankings stuff as you, Dorens :)

9:23 am

it shouldn't matter....I am actually doing this for myown enjoyment

9:24 am

Hi folks : ) How's the server today?? quick or quack?

9:24 am

2nd ey 4,6 anyone

9:24 am

lol -- pretty quick

hi anj! : ) not the quickest today...

9:25 am

steel, change the last letter

9:25 am

I have just reread the rankings explanation and it still leaves me going , "yes, but..." Hey Anj, no problems here touch wood.

9:25 am

one who ey4/6 ... just change that plural

9:25 am

but not the worst i've seen. either

9:25 am

Cheers ch/FMitch : ) 92 to go then...

9:25 am

thanks fmitch....i know i got robbed on yesterday's...willjust chalk it up to.....

9:26 am

Gee FMitch, do you think we should tell him that the problems with the grid today have NOTHING to do with speed? :D It's a toughie

9:26 am

Anj, sorry should have said server is fine but words are well hidden but it is a fun grid none the less.

9:26 am

LOL ch1212 same train of thought there.

9:26 am

Anj, who is your icon?

9:27 am

Dorens, why not email Dr_G and ask him to look at it? It's a legitimate question ..

9:27 am

no shortage of e's today

9:27 am

ch, Charles de Lint - Canadian author : )

9:27 am

you're right,torgone...i probably should

9:27 am

Ah, you have him listed in your profile -- should have realized.

hi tor!

9:28 am

Heya TO!

9:28 am

And that's me done, finally! Any clues before I go?

9:29 am

hi TO and tor

9:29 am

hooray for ch

9:29 am

Woohoo ch1212

9:29 am

Lot's of fave authors CH, he won as i've just finished one of his shorts collections : ) Hi T-Owl, Torgone : )

9:29 am

congrats, ch

hi annie! : )

9:29 am

Anj, I'm going to save the chat log from the last hour or so --- TONS of great authors in discussion!

9:30 am

Taking odds on how long before I type a word in the chat log: Currently at: 10-1: 15 mins

9:30 am

Heyas annie, anjie!

9:30 am

:D

9:30 am

7-2 - 30 mins 5-4 on 45 mins and over see Honest Anj X D

9:31 am

Dorens, I don't understand the rankings either, and was always frustrated when I was watching them and had your situation. But I always assumed that it had to do with how many other people's rankings were going up. So if I finished a grid that "everyone" else finished, too, it might not be enough to hold up my relative score. But ultimately, who the heck knows!

9:31 am

de6

9:31 am

in church, not a priest

9:32 am

for the de6 that is

9:32 am

make that de6, please?

9:32 am

9:34 am

10:20 am

Hugs back, Babbler, good to see you again. Stid, Jilli and I are having a mini babble convention here today--pop over wn't you?

10:20 am

featherbee - in for Sept 19 : )

10:21 am

awesome, thanks! wow, is that how far ahead you are on icon themes?

10:21 am

are you really, hetty? how wonderful!!! here, have some ice cream. : )

10:21 am

Ishould recognize your author, babbler, but I don't -Joanne Trollope?

I think my brain is fried - I only have 8 words

10:21 am

yep. I've got some ideas scribbled somewhere i haven't put in yet.

10:22 am

hetty, no, it is the incomparable Jilly Cooper. When it comes down to it, I enjoy reading her work the most.

10:22 am

anything by her is great, newspaper articles to anything

10:22 am

...my temp gauge says 117'f : ( My plants all gasp at me when I walk in the room...

10:23 am

i just opened lickety...anyone know what the littel black arrow by the word box does?

Anj, where are you located?

10:23 am

I can believe it Anj - I had to move some of my office equipment out of the full sun today

10:23 am

why isn't yoyo a word?????

10:23 am

ca,6,24 anyone please.. i have 20 left

10:24 am

past tense of the boat, misu

10:24 am

I thought she looked less austere than Joanne. Goo d choice. For me, naming a favourite author of novels is impossibly difficult, which is why I show as the Belle of Amherst

10:24 am

mine says 82F, Anj. But I haven't opened the curtains today and just kept in the shade. Outside, it's supposed to be about 90F today.

10:24 am

past tense of indian boat misu

10:24 am

i can't get the second ay --sure i've monkeyed everything but still need help

10:25 am

dorens, yo-yo is sometimes hyphenated? (I'm guessing)

10:25 am

We believe it is trade marked Dorens and therefore a proper name Babbler and tomorrow is going to be hotter!!!!

10:25 am

ay + not out

10:25 am

i think you're right babler

10:25 am

clues for ed 6/24 please

10:25 am

ladynoire, Bristol. It's nice in the shade, but a furnace outside of that... : s

10:26 am

Does that mean no hyphenated wods in enable? Just noticed that.

10:26 am

politicians yoyo on some issues

Bristol, England?

Or Australia?

10:26 am

we have a children's party tomorrow with 48 children - i may not survive!!

10:27 am

ed6 is plural

10:27 am

Anything over 75 and I start wilting. I was in Dubai on business a couple of years ago and it was 49 - never felt anything like it! We are in England if you check our flags out ladynoire.

10:27 am

thnx gramma. got it!

10:28 am

yw

10:28 am

10:31 am

10:31 am

ladynoire, global warming. :/ it didn't used to but it's been creeping that way in the last 15 - 20 years.

10:31 am

Thank you.

10:31 am

Thank you.

10:31 am

Thank you.

10:31 am

log hiccup

10:31 am

lady, neither did we! : s Our weather is weird at the moment though. Almost tropical...including the storms that follow a hot spell

I live in NC, in the southern US, and we're supposed to get to 100 or so today, which is pretty hot but not unusual

You can send those storms our way - we need the rain

10:31 am

yep. tropical storms due on Thurs, Anj. : /

10:32 am

Babbler can I have some of that ice cream before it melts - just plonk what ever you have most of on my head pretty please.

10:32 am

ladynoire, want to hear something ridiculous? in the south east, we're having a drought....not cos it hasn't rained, but because the water companies won't repair pipes!!

10:33 am

*plonks lots of lovely vanilla ice cream on FMitch's head* Very good for the scalp and hair, I understand. ; )

10:33 am

co 5,16

10:34 am

Morning all - see we're discussing my favorite subject, the heat.

10:34 am

finally got it gramma ..thanks!

Thats insane, Babb

10:34 am

Misu, c plus oy4/6 : )

10:34 am

ooooohhh that is wonderful, wiping glasses so I can still see the screen - stick a flake in my hair and call me a 99!! LOL

10:34 am

help with the co5/16 please?

10:34 am

more shy, feather?

10:35 am

feather, just clued that...

10:35 am

thanks! oops, sorry, didn't see it

10:35 am

*sticks flake in FMitch's hair* you're a 99! LOL

10:35 am

ladynoire - welcome to some of the madness that is local government. My local water authority is loosing 800,000 litres of water a day through cracked pipes and we have been on a hose pipe ban for almost 3 months now

10:35 am

co5 more of a flirt

10:36 am

...nd of course, we won't mention Thams Waters' profits... } (

10:36 am

it's more than that, FMitch. I'm sure of it. That must be the 'official' figure. Disgusting whatever it is.

yeah, Bureaucracy!!!

10:37 am

yes, Anj. And they're so tight, they won't pay for repairs. They're saying if we want repairs, we have to pay for them ourselves. : /

10:37 am

We've had a local town refuse to pass a sewer repair bond for 6 years - this year the sewer pipes burst and dumped tons of raw sewage into the bay, forcing fishing bans and closing beaches - it's not just bureaucracy!

10:37 am

Any hints needed before I go?

10:37 am

thanks!

10:38 am

that's awful, TheFiz!!

10:38 am

yes gramma, the last re please?

10:38 am

Pretty gross, too....

do you have something like the Enviromental Protection Agency?

10:39 am

any hints for oc5 pls

10:39 am

Re5/10 *** and vinegar make a nice salad dressing

10:39 am

the fish that you will receive may swim in it, mva

10:39 am

Yah! just been buzzed by a stealth wasp... : s

10:39 am

thanks gramma

10:39 am

oc5 MY bonny lies over the oc*** ,,my bonny lies over the sea

10:40 am

oh no!! Anj. Wasn;'t a killer wasp was it? (I saw a headline the other day)

10:40 am

i hate wasps

10:40 am

throw the fish dorens!!

10:40 am

and that's it for me....i'm seeing fireworks,just hope that dr. god sees them too (somehow i lost thrse points last night even though I completed)

10:40 am

Probably flew in from Farnborough Anj

10:40 am

smackerel coming your way mva!

10:40 am

No, just a dopey one that's picked the only pane of glass to try and get out that's not actually open : /

10:40 am

congrats dorens

10:41 am

smackerel??? I like that! LOL

10:41 am

oh I hate dopey insects, Anj. But not as much as I hate the hyperactive ones!

10:41 am

thanks....any clues before I leave?

10:41 am

Woohoo Dorens

10:41 am

smackerel,? that's perfect!

10:42 am

congrats, Dorens! Fireworks are lovely

10:42 am

thanks all....

10:43 am

Catch ya when I can. baBye

10:43 am

Go dorens! I just got started so I'm not even ready for clues yet. Bye Gramma

10:43 am

k, so does anyone want to hear the ideas I had for themes? there's only a few.

10:43 am

(I found my scribbled list)

10:43 am

Mmmm I feel lemon sole fillets done in herbs'n'spices coming on...

10:43 am

Yes, please Babbler!

10:44 am

mmm... I was just thinking smoked peppered mackerel (from the fridge) and cold salad...

10:44 am

Yey go for it Babbler

10:44 am

k, so I thought: Porcelain Figurines (the kind advertised in mags)

10:45 am

ok, sounds good...

10:45 am

Leaves - Name That Tree Lightfittings, Lampshades Deck Designs (backs of playing cards) Calligraphy Art

10:45 am

that's it

10:46 am

Interesting. I like 'em all but especially Name That Tree.

10:46 am

And speaking of naming the icon - Babbler, who's your picture? I can't place it and it's making me crazy

10:46 am

LOL where do you get them from. Love the name that tree and Atalante will have a nervous breakdown for the Calligraphy art with all her wonderful work. Great stuff.

10:46 am

all in favour say 'Aye' TheFiz, it's Jilly Cooper : )

10:46 am

aye :)

10:47 am

Aye!

10:47 am

Aye

10:47 am

Aye!!!!!!

10:47 am

thanks FMitch! Well, I was just dropping off to sleep one night, and I had idea after idea and kept putting the light on to write them down, lol!

10:47 am

babbler, has there ever been a theme of selfportraits (i.e., pictures of our own lovely faces?)

10:47 am

ever do trains babbler? or children's books

10:48 am

...ni! : )

10:48 am

no, Dorens... but I was around when someone did a South Park self portrait, so I added that to the list. if that counts?

10:48 am

yay for calligraphy!

10:48 am

can we have pre-raphaelites??

10:48 am

I can't remember featherbee, which means we can add them, LOL!

10:48 am

yes! pre-raphaelites!

10:49 am

LOL Anj

10:49 am

Dorens - that hasent been done and I think that is a great idea

well, its time for lunch, I will ttyl

10:49 am

kind of wonder what you all look like, even tho i'm loathe to show myown face

10:49 am

hmm, how about architecture?

10:49 am

bye lady! enjoy your lunch.

10:49 am

like that feather

10:50 am

I'm pretty sure we've had architecture. But it was a while back so I can add that too.

10:50 am

Dorens - I'm fine with my face - it's the self portrait part that gets me. I'm artistic in other ways but not so much drawing - I wouldn't want you all to get the wrong idea, that I have 3 eyes or that my ears don't line up or something

10:50 am

lol fiz

10:51 am

Babbler - howsabout a Lord of the Rings special?

10:51 am

so shall I schedule a self-portrait day and still keep the South Park self portrait day?

10:51 am

why not, Movieman! Lord of the Rings / Hobbit, so there's scope?

10:51 am

Pardon me for being dense but what is a South Park self portrait?

10:52 am

actually, babbler, i'm not an artist..didn't mean selfportrait,meant photos of selves

10:52 am

hey, everyone - just checking out the puzzle for today

10:52 am

Can we keep it as loose as a self portrait or a photo

10:52 am

TheFiz - it's a self-portrait done in the style of South Park.....

10:52 am

hehee!! you haven't lived, TheFiz! It's this site where you can basically draw your own character, and add whatever you like.

10:52 am

would the wizard of oz be too narrow a theme?

10:52 am

I think that's way beyond my skill set

10:52 am

hi Ping : )

10:53 am

de4/6 hints pls, bad day can't see it

10:53 am

FMitch, good thinking.

10:53 am

hi babbler - who is in your icon?

10:53 am

yes i totally agree

10:53 am

you could soup up a photo FMitch. that would count

10:53 am

hi ping

10:53 am

Ping, it's Jilly Cooper : )

10:53 am

mva, think art de**

10:53 am

MVA, art-de**

10:53 am

babbler, hwo about favourite pets?

10:53 am

can we have a green day? or a place you grew up day

10:53 am

we

10:54 am

we would see lots of cats then, hetty....but good idea

10:54 am

thanks jen, long day

10:54 am

favorite musician?

10:54 am

Hetty - how can I pick between my two darlings?!?!?

10:54 am

we've had favourite pets, twice I think (??). All in favour for a reschedule say Aye.

10:54 am

babbler - don't know her -will have to do some research!

10:54 am

aye

10:54 am

well why don't you roll the whoe lot of our images into into one big day, South Park, self portrait and pics

10:54 am

the fiz, get a pic of them together?

10:54 am

and dorens, ty

10:55 am

I know the feeling, MVA :)

10:55 am

I've not been babbling long, so I may have missed that idea-can never have too many cats, and 2 of themtogether would be a hoot

10:55 am

I've not been babbling long, so I may have missed that idea-can never have too many cats, and 2 of themtogether would be a hoot

10:55 am

I've not been babbling long, so I may have missed that idea-can never have too many cats, and 2 of themtogether would be a hoot

10:55 am

I've not been babbling long, so I may have missed that idea-can never have too many cats,and 2 of themtogether would be a hoot

10:55 am

we've had Green, if was Evanadine's favourite colour for her birthday (wow, my memory is fab sometimes!). Haven't had a place you grew up, I don't think, Ata.

10:55 am

FM, i don't know, i kind of think it might be better to keep south park and the pic of yourself seperate

10:55 am

that's a good point, we've had a lot of new people join this year, hetty

10:55 am

Do you think I can get both my cats and my frog in the same photo without anyone getting eaten?

10:56 am

good luck trying.

10:56 am

could be fun trying , thefiz

10:56 am

Probably right feather :)

10:56 am

a rupert Campbell-Black day would be fab, but would confuse everyone who hasn't read Jilly lol

10:56 am

thefz--that's rather like crossing a river with a fox and som echickens---

10:57 am

LOL!! but I wouldn't mind all the Rupert Campbell-Blacks! XD

10:57 am

How about a fancy dress day?

10:57 am

nor would I!

10:57 am

I think I should add all these ideas in, as it's been a while for some. Everyone agree?

10:58 am

...how about an Escher day : )

10:58 am

Go for it Babbler

10:58 am

aye

10:58 am

Rupert makes me think of the Rupert books of my childhood--which leads to--what about graphic novels?

10:58 am

have cars been a theme before (i'm fairly new)? maybe old cars or futuristic cars or car you drive now?

10:58 am

oh, except for Rupert Cambell-Black day, not sure how that would go down. We've had an Escher Day, haven't we Anj? I'll put it in, I think it was last year anyway.

10:59 am

time for me to fly.....have a great day, all

10:59 am

bow about other artists? georgia o'keeffe or jackson pollock?

10:59 am

...temp gauge is now reading 120'f : s The plants have dragged themselves to the bathrrom and are helping themselves to a cold shower...

10:59 am

Cars is good. We've had it, but there's lots of scope, so I'll put it in again

10:59 am

bye dorens

10:59 am

poor Rupert LOL. what about an aeroplanes day?

10:59 am

or Robert Bateman?

10:59 am

okay....please pardon my ignorance.....but whats an Escher Day??

10:59 am

Yea. Fireworks!

11:00 am

what's a graphic novel, hetty?

11:00 am

crikey, I'm having trouble keeping up with ideas! :s

11:00 am

bye dorens, time for to as well, be back later. Congrats Jen!

11:01 am

meant to say time to go. bbl

11:01 am

Escher is an artist who enjoyed playing with optical illusions. Very clever stuff

11:01 am

Anj - it might help if you turned the central heating off!!!!

11:01 am

M.C. Escher is a celebrated etcher...

11:01 am

turtles!

11:02 am

Poor Anj. Is there a breeze round your way? There's a slight breeze here.

11:02 am

might be fun to have some more open-ended themes too...think weather, flight, love, things like that :)

11:03 am

Thankyou FMitch *hurriedly invents starbuster bomb, lights blue touchpaper, flees to a distant galaxy* This is going to smart a bit... X D

11:04 am

sorry all - just got sucked in to South Park Portrait land - didn't mean to get ahead of myself!

11:04 am

Oh there's a lovely breeze where I am......so much nicer than yesterday....but just as hot!!

11:04 am

TheFiz - it's horribly addictive, isn't it? LOL

11:04 am

LOL erda!

11:05 am

I'll put all your ideas in, Elalyr. : )

11:05 am

darn, i had an idea earlier, and lost it

11:05 am

good idea, ela

11:05 am

I'm only back because I accidentally put on the wolfman face and can't get it off.

11:05 am

hi featherbee

11:05 am

babbler, you see my question about wizard of oz? would that be to narrow a scope?

11:05 am

hiya ping

11:05 am

Anj, who's your icon? I'm guessing Charles de Lint?

11:05 am

ty Ping...

11:06 am

no, featherbee, I missed Wizard of Oz. hmm... might be a bit too specific... but it's my favourite movie! Ooh I'm torn. Someone else decide for me! :s

11:06 am

Afternoon, all. No yoyo?

11:06 am

Babs, yup. I finished Moonlight & Vines last night so it sort of chose itself...

11:06 am

I CANNOT BELIEVE that yoyo isn't a word...

11:06 am

feather, how's your project going today?

11:06 am

So Babbler have you read all of Jilly's books?

11:06 am

people could go with the books too i guess

11:07 am

yoyo is a nono as it's yo-yo : )

11:07 am

Anj, there's another book waiting for me at the library, I forget which. I just can't go out in this heat to collect it. : /

11:07 am

about to eat lunch, then work on it ping! check my profile for hte latest pics

11:07 am

Flask1 - I've read the vast majority of her stuff. There are a few I haven't read yet, but only cos I want to start right from the beginning again!! LOL!! I've got a lot of her books. :D

11:07 am

Oh, Anj. Always have to be a killjoy with the proper punctuation, I see.

11:07 am

i will, feather - my daughter is a thomas fan too

11:08 am

Gotta run - back tonight late. Keep cool everyone!

11:08 am

I love books.......however, she is someone I haven't tried yet!

11:09 am

feather, just checked - it's looking terrific!

11:09 am

Flask1 - I've been reading her since I was a kid and she used to write for a newspaper. Then I discovered she wrote short stories and I got into them when I was still at school. She's intelligent, very witty, and a bit cheeky too. I love her .

11:09 am

she's fab!

11:10 am

thanks! *grin* next is the river that will come out of hte mountains

11:10 am

would you agree with my description of her Ata?

11:10 am

yup :)

FIREWORKS for me! Bye for today. Going to try to stay cool. Maybe if I were out on the "Black Pearl"??????????????????????

11:10 am

congrats rumple!

11:10 am

11:33 am

Hi Aloy

It's been hot here for a while now, and we're really hoping it'll cool down soon. We're not used to this kind of heat.

11:35 am

Is it me or is the chat log slow today?

11:35 am

Strange global heatwave. Hmm. Let's blame the middle east. They cause all the trouble anyway.

11:35 am

same reason an ice cream cone will fall down icream first Babbler

11:35 am

slow, very slow... heat stroke!

11:35 am

it's probably the heat. the chat log is suffering from heat exhaustion! : /

11:35 am

That's so true Babbler! My favourite piece of clothing is this shapeless & holy bag of a dress that has definately seen it's best days long ago

11:35 am

lol FMitch!

11:36 am

mine is this tatty dress that's seen better days! lol!

11:36 am

((Aloy)) - you are right I finished in the cooler hours of the UK's morning but it is a good grid.

11:36 am

is it, FMitch? I'm afraid, I haven't played in so long, I think I'm out of practice.

11:37 am

Fmitch i did the same!! I was waiting at 6am for the flip

11:37 am

Fmitch i did the same!! I was waiting at 6am for the flip

11:37 am

caitlyn - probably see you there tomorrow? as its going to be more of the same?

11:39 am

yes! I'm going to get some wine in and celebrate on 7th August!

11:39 am

Nah, Babbler. Although, he did use the "s" word in front of an open microphone yesterday. Hilarious. They played it in full on CNN. Cracked me up.

11:40 am

lol, i'm just popping in so i can get my link from my profile easily!

11:40 am

I just looked at the weather forecast for the UK, my goodness! I hadn't realised they forecast 33C for Scotland as well!! That's unheard of!

11:40 am

I will be here FMitch

11:40 am

hmmm, Lickety says 92 words, grid says i have 92, but not with 5th re...sigh

11:41 am

11:42 am

Hi feather only just saw you!

11:44 am

re5/22 re +what you lock a door with

11:44 am

FMitch - the status is being very quo and I am thankful -- I am settling into my new position fairly well and actually having some fun doing it -- though shuffling batteries in a nonclimate controlled warehouse in 90+ degree weather is definitely not in my top ten list of fun things

12:43 pm

But this is definitely not one of the easier grids today, is it?

12:43 pm

(((Hugs)) GW - you just keep doing what works the good bits will come soon

12:43 pm

s.g4s.a - nothing like pushing your luck! You have been a nuisance,the site administrator has been informed.

12:43 pm

s.g4s.a if you are not going to attempt to play the grid, there is no point in coming in

Hello folks. Too hot here, at least upstairs, so can't sleep yet. I've been playing 'Boggle' Can anyone tell me how the 'Team' players manage to come top with, for instance, 118 words in 3 mins when most others, even fast thinkers and typists like me, get 39? Is there some kind of 'cheat program' they use or something?? If so, where's the fun in that?

8:54 pm

well congratulations cathy!!

8:55 pm

hi jac!

8:56 pm

i don't know jac, i stopped playing boggle after nrk got a lot of us hooked on the quote puzzler games

8:56 pm

Good evening to one and all -- time to try for a finish -- still have 46 to go :)

8:56 pm

well...gonna go watch the local news...my b/f's daughter's ex boyfriend hung himself today just b4 the opening of a flea market...and get this... the people running the flea market left him hanging there, threw a blanket over him and continued with their flea market while they waited for the coroner to arrive!!! (3 hrs later!!!) HOW pathetic is that????

8:56 pm

Hi Fran. As I say to others, if you ever see me on a plane, don't greet me like that! LOL.

8:56 pm

hi wolfie!

8:56 pm

Hi Wolfie. How are you and the family?

8:56 pm

heh, heh, good one jacula!

8:57 pm

(actually it happened on the weekend but should be on the news 2nite I'm told)

8:57 pm

cathy, that's horrible! i think i would have not opened the flea market, how unfeeling.

8:57 pm

Cathyar - that's awful!

8:57 pm

We are all doing well -- we just had a major thunderstorm roll through here and we spent the half hour before Kristianna's bedtime sitting by the window watching lightning and listening to thunder

8:58 pm

isn't it!!! i'll watch and give clues at the same time if anyone asks

8:58 pm

Cathyar - surely any normal human reaction would be to cut him down immediately?

8:59 pm

isn't it the most callous thing to do!!! the poor guy! prob hung himself b/c no one seemed to care and in his end...no one really even acted like it!!!

8:59 pm

Wolfie - glad to hear you're all well. How's the job going?

8:59 pm

seriously jac...i totally agree

8:59 pm

It is scary how powerful the dollar has become that simple human courtesy gets superseded by the pursuit thereof

8:59 pm

3 left - how about a clue for ce4 (not the one that means to give up)

8:59 pm

totally true greywoulf

9:00 pm

The job.... is

9:00 pm

lauren, ce + i don't **re what you think

9:00 pm

Actually, it has been tricky trying to learn everything a guy who has been on the job for 18 years knows in only 2 weeks

9:00 pm

good clue fran...was gonna try n find the meaning to help clue lauren...but yers is quicker

9:02 pm

with these strange words the def doesn't help much unless one is willing to google for words...which i don't mind doing if you're ever in the position to clue a word for me some time!!

9:02 pm

yer right fran....many many weird words this grid

9:02 pm

Good evening to my fellow Babblers!How is everyone?

9:02 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers!YAY!

9:03 pm

i hope they don't really expect you to learn it all for real woulf!!

9:03 pm

excellent - how about the li4-5? not the big car

9:03 pm

Wolfie - re the job. Yes, I can imagine! Re the dollar domination - sadly too true. But I'm shocked by what Cathyar has told us.

9:03 pm

hi min! i'm great, how about you?

9:03 pm

Hi Min -- and hi from Seb as well

9:03 pm

Hello Minver.

9:03 pm

lauren, change the last consonant

9:04 pm

Incidentally, I finished the grid around lunchtime UK time... so, if any clues are needed...

9:04 pm

Jac -- whar's the temp by you?

9:04 pm

sorry, that's not right lauren, the li4/5 is change last letter of the big car to a consonant

9:04 pm

thanks!

9:04 pm

u r good jac!!! u really know yer words!

9:05 pm

Hey...hi Minver!

9:05 pm

Does anybody have a clue for the li 4/7 word please?

9:05 pm

9:05 pm

min, tastes like a citrus fruit

9:05 pm

can't type either

9:06 pm

Never Mind! I jut got li 4/7 word. Thank you anyway!

9:06 pm

aknitter, dr4/5 rhymes with what an oak or elm are

9:06 pm

Does anybody have a clue for the li 5/12 word please

9:06 pm

dr4/9 rhymes with star tr**

9:06 pm

Temp has been in the top 80s on the shady side of the house here, Wolfie. 87 deg F in the rabbit shed (which was open and had a fan going) and 104 deg F in the greenhouse (which was also open).

9:07 pm

ty fran that gave me a shove

9:07 pm

li5/12 is like the lovely scented bush...but change the middle consonant

9:07 pm

Li4/5 that's not the big car means 'to depict by painting or drawing', if that helps.

9:07 pm

yw aknitter!

9:08 pm

i guess we're feeling the effects of global warming, eh?

9:08 pm

find it minver?

9:08 pm

we have been in the high 90s, over 100 w/ heat index, the past two days, Jac - hence the T-storm tonight

9:08 pm

Finished!

9:09 pm

yay lauren!!!!!

9:09 pm

linac

9:09 pm

oops

9:09 pm

lauren great job!

9:09 pm

that's it woulf!!!

9:09 pm

we've been awaiting t'storms here for over a month...they're threatened weekly...i suspect we're doomed for a big hurricane this fall

9:09 pm

ty grey wolf!

9:09 pm

Storms are expected here tomorrow night, Wolfie. As you know, I view those with trepidation... Not because I don't enjoy a good thunderstorm but because they cause flash floods which have flooded my house 4 times in the past.

9:09 pm

Seb is being fussy and distracted ne

9:10 pm

the world is falling apart!!!

9:10 pm

ah always blame the kid!

9:10 pm

LOL Wolfie - I was going to say that li5/12 is short for linear accelerator, but I don't need to now!

9:10 pm

no blame -- merely an explanation -- I accept full responsibility :D

9:10 pm

war and rumours of war... weather changes everywhere

9:11 pm

minver? did u find the li5?

9:11 pm

Cathyar - Your last post. I saw you with a billboard front and back (end of the world is nigh!) then. LOL.

9:11 pm

es 5?

9:11 pm

Wolfie - you mean it wasn't Seb who typed the word???:-)

9:11 pm

LOL

9:11 pm

aknitter, one who es*s a question

9:12 pm

es5 - A long, narrow ridge of coarse gravel deposited by a stream flowing in or under a decaying glacial ice sheet.

9:12 pm

lol jac...seriously...i'm llistening to news on tv as i attempt to give clues...and with u all talking about the bad weather... just puts one to mind of "revelations"

9:13 pm

not to mention the unfeelingness of the world today...(like the guy who hung himself i mentioned earlier).

9:13 pm

Cathyar - not really taking the 'p'; I do know what you mean about Revelations.

9:13 pm

feeding Seb -- willl chat again soon

9:13 pm

we're perhaps in the beginning of global "cleansing"

9:13 pm

later woulf!

9:13 pm

Okay Wolfie.

9:13 pm

es 5 located! ty all

9:13 pm

revelations as in the bible (and i'm not a religious sort)

9:13 pm

looking for re 5/22

9:14 pm

phan, put in another word perhaps

9:14 pm

re5/12... a landlord often does it to the door locks when a tenant moves out

9:14 pm

Cathyar - I think the last piece of news that shocked me so much was the story of a young girl here in UK, a child, who was run over and had her leg broken, bones sticking out etc., who crawled across the road as at least 8 or 9 cars steered around here (so their drivers wouldn't be late for work???)

9:15 pm

OMG Jac!!! That is soooo horrific!!!

9:15 pm

The piece of news before that, about 4 years ago, was a picture of a dead baby dumped in a gutter in China. Everyone walked past and no one turned a hair except for the US and European reporters.

9:16 pm

thanx Cathyar

9:16 pm

grey woulf mentioned earlier about the almighty dollar that too many of us worship...seems so true

9:16 pm

welcome phandmd

9:16 pm

I just finished my li words.Thank you all for the clues!

9:17 pm

Congratulations Lauren on fireworks!Hooray for you!

9:17 pm

i think that has been typical for years in China Jac...many baby girls thrown into dumpsters...that is why so many americans and canadians travel so far and spend so much adopt chinese baby girls...so many are considered beneath newborn boys

9:17 pm

re5/22 - to type in again.

9:17 pm

(or so i understand)

9:18 pm

congrats lauren!!!

9:18 pm

hello

9:19 pm

woulfie, if you're still there, are you sending any more thunderstorms my way tonight?

9:19 pm

hi again nrkii

9:19 pm

Cathyar - that's what I understand, too. There is a saying in India that I was told by an Indian friend, 'Having a daughter is like watering your neighbour's tree'. In other words, re dowry etc., daughters only cost you money and don't bring you money.

9:19 pm

Hi nrkii.

9:19 pm

Seb just fell asleep -- I will be free to chat in about 5 more mins -- ssssshhhh

9:20 pm

odd how cultures are so vastllly different...like female circumcision in india, etc.

9:20 pm

jac, a different situation , but deplorable just the same is the story of the man who lay dying on everest while at least half a dozen people stepped over him to continue their climbs.

9:20 pm

Not just India, Cathyar... Africa, too.

9:20 pm

hi nrk!

9:20 pm

i think in babble land at least we seem to share a love of helping each other...even though we are many of us from different countries

9:21 pm

Fran, on a totally different and completely superficial topic, how DID you get over 1000 points on secret word yesterday? Did you dream the word up in your sleep??? :)

9:21 pm

yes...true jac...i think that is where i actually first heard of it

9:21 pm

FranMag - Yes, I read that story just before I went on holiday. Appalling! What's wrong with people these days? Has the milk of human kindness died?

9:21 pm

what's this secret word i keep hearing of? is it babble-related?

9:22 pm

compassion is so lacking in the world today

9:22 pm

nrk, i just happened to get about 3 letters in the right position right off the bat, the rest just fell into place! i earned a star!!

9:22 pm

Thank God for the Babble community!

9:22 pm

that was awesome -- you left everyone else in the dust on that

9:22 pm

what game are u talking about fran and nrkii?

9:22 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the sk 5/18 word please

9:22 pm

http://www.quote-puzzler.com/ cathyar

9:23 pm

plus, as i told feather, i was the first to play and there was pressure to get a good score or feel dumb while 10 other people saw how badly i did!! :-)

9:23 pm

there are 7 daily puzzles there -- take a total of about 30 - 45 mins to do

9:23 pm

I think the milk has not died so much as it has begun to curdle cos noone remembered to put it back in the fridge

9:23 pm

I be done finally. Thanx again for the help you guys gave.

9:23 pm

yay phan!!!!

9:23 pm

Anyone need clues? I'm sooooo excited I'm done!

9:23 pm

yes fran, it is much tougher when you're in the early group, or first to play

9:23 pm

Minver - sk5/18 - A double-edged dagger formerly used in Ireland and Scotland.

9:23 pm

wow...just went to the site...looks like fun!

9:23 pm

yay phandmd

9:23 pm

9:24 pm

9:24 pm

yay...congrats phandmd

9:24 pm

Congratulations phandmd on your fireworks!Hooray!

9:24 pm

(Or a flock of geese.)

9:24 pm

min, sk5/18 rhymes with le** on me

9:24 pm

grey woulf...that is quite an analogy...re the curdled milk!

9:24 pm

cathy, it's great fun and very challenging at the same time

9:24 pm

cathy, it is fun ... there are at least 6 or 7 of us babblers who also do those puzzles

9:25 pm

did someone mention wool??? ears perk up

9:25 pm

i'm going to go check it out! brb

9:25 pm

aknitter, sk5/18 is almost like a sk* of wool

9:25 pm

Thank you FranMag for you sk clue.Finished sk words

9:25 pm

FranMag, 'Le** on Me' - the song by Bill Withers. LOL.

9:26 pm

9:26 pm

Hey I'm not really here but fran and nrkii I just looked at the quote puzzler site. Do either of you want me to put your code in if I sign up?

9:26 pm

9:26 pm

hmmm...i think i'll check out the free games b4 i commit to a membership

9:26 pm

9:26 pm

Hi MusicMom, though you're not really here.

9:26 pm

musicmom, if you want to, that'd be great ... so far I haven't asked people to because I hate to have them feel like I am only having them join to get points!

9:26 pm

jac wasn't your imagination, my eyes glow too LOL

9:27 pm

lol jac!

9:27 pm

nrkii - what is your's?

9:27 pm

no problem.

9:27 pm

jac...and she growls...though not today...yet!

9:27 pm

there should not have been an apostrophe in that post.

9:27 pm

had to go retrieve it, sorry... it's MU0F42

9:27 pm

and thanks!

9:28 pm

oooh...membership is free in quote puzzler!

9:28 pm

Hi jac. Finished the grid earlier. I'm supposed to be doing paperwork.

9:28 pm

i am going to start though, the mo's are killing me

9:28 pm

MusicMom - since you are not really here, we will forgive you the greengrocers' apostrophe.

9:28 pm

It only sounds like i'm going to go play another game<G>

9:28 pm

after a week cathy, you won't get all the games without subscribing...there are prized though.

9:28 pm

cathyar, sort of...

9:28 pm

I hate when I make stupid typos like that

9:28 pm

DE 5/18; 6/24 & 7/44 clues please 8 left to complete

9:29 pm

you can do 4 of the 7 puzzles for free forever, and the other 3 you can do for free for a couple weeks to try them out

thanks for the SK 5 I kept trying to make it end in DU

9:29 pm

okay seriously - I have to go. I'll talk to you all tomorrow.

9:29 pm

have the too rotting DE's

9:29 pm

by MM!

9:29 pm

bye, that is!

9:29 pm

de 5 - when something rots

9:29 pm

Wolfie - Blue Mink once sang 'All we need is a great big melting pot...' That was to make everyone one colour, creed etc. I think your fridge thing is more appropriate now.

9:29 pm

ronni, de5/18 is either rot or decieve with a stand-in like a de*** duck

9:30 pm

9:32 pm

Helen - Hi!

9:33 pm

nrkii...i just used your code too for quote puzzler...hope u don't mind

9:33 pm

an 5 is very very bad spelling for the opp of friend

9:33 pm

woulf, an5 is social decay brought about by erosion of values...just what we've been talking about

9:33 pm

u should have tons of points now

oops fran!

9:33 pm

the an 5 means what we were all taking about -- swociety and its down fall of morals

9:34 pm

Ping - Did you know that a long-standing typing error, especially if typists are bored, is beginning a formal letter, 'Dead Sir'? It's true! I used to proofread.

9:34 pm

cathyar, not at all! for each paying person I get to sign up, I get 200 stars which equates to 20 extra days on my yearly membership... :)

9:34 pm

cy6 is first 3 letters of crashing instrument and first three letters of ***es of poetry

animo

9:34 pm

and if you don't sign up for $ membership, that's okay too, as it is only 20 days to me -- LOL!!

9:35 pm

Babblephish - not a word.

9:35 pm

oh...ok...well i didn't pay...at least not yet...wanna check it out for a few days first

9:35 pm

nrkii - i have not done well with the puzzle because i never read the directions

I know. but still an oops!

9:35 pm

ping, i started doing much better after actually reading directions also!! :-)

9:35 pm

ah ping, well as my father always says, "if all else fails... read the directions!"

9:35 pm

Jac, are you sure that is true? It sounds fishy to me!

9:36 pm

For an5/16, try Latin word for 'year' minus a consonant + possessive pronoun.

9:36 pm

Ping - No, it is true. It's the most common typing error.

9:36 pm

I'm starting to get the hang of some of them now, but my free membership has already expired!

9:36 pm

fran, i hear ya!

9:36 pm

Look at your keyboard and you will see why.

9:36 pm

Thanks -- got the an

9:37 pm

ping, you can also do archive quote puzzles

9:37 pm

babblephish, just saw what i typed!!! sorry. :-(

9:37 pm

the archives are free?

9:37 pm

Also, 'stay' often turns into 'shag' when typists are mithered and rushing. LOL.

9:37 pm

the way I was tought to type, i would be more likely to type "deat sir"

And i did it right after you Fran! ;)

9:37 pm

ping, yes, the quote puzzle archives are free

24 left for me

9:38 pm

jac, rushing off to do something apparently!

9:41 pm

bbs

9:42 pm

Who asked about the schoolkids? Missed them, I guess. Where they funny or pestilent?

9:42 pm

maybe because i'm a former school teacher? but maybe you are too?

9:42 pm

thanks jacula

9:43 pm

no ping, not a former school teacher, former boutique buyer

9:43 pm

i thought they were very silly

9:43 pm

ES 5/18 & LI 5/12

9:43 pm

jac, they were probably funny at first, but by the time i came on they were getting annoying.

9:43 pm

ronnie, es5/18, one who es*s a question

9:44 pm

it seemed that there teacher let them log into the game to practice their English but they decided the puzzle was too hard and they would just chat

9:44 pm

li5/12, like light purple color, change middle consonant

9:44 pm

there = their

9:44 pm

Not a former school teacher, Ping, though the school I went to only wanted us to be teacher or top tennis players (Ann Hayden-Jones was at my school). I am a Mum - I know kids...

9:44 pm

thanks franmag for the LI clue

9:44 pm

ping, where were they from?

9:44 pm

Did you go to school near wimbledon?

9:45 pm

i clued the es also ronnie, look lower

9:45 pm

Ping - that often happens on here. Were they Aussie kids or UK kids? Those are the usual 2 groups who embarrass their teachers (who play on here in their own right).

9:45 pm

i'm not sure, fran - i thought it was a foreign country though

9:45 pm

Ping - No. Ann was a Birmingham girl. Not Birmingham, Alabama!

9:46 pm

I missed the AN clue something about enemy

9:46 pm

Oh dear! Poor Rolin! Is this a new lot or the ones she introduced before, Wolfie?

9:46 pm

jac, i have a british friend who told me her h.s. was so close to wimbledon that she would walk over there after school to watch the matches

i think i got all the easy ones, now all that's left is the extremely bizarre

9:47 pm

is Rolin British?

9:47 pm

I have no idea Jac -- I was on for only 10 minutes earlier -- just when one of them was at their most annoying

9:47 pm

good night all

9:59 pm

I was here for both invasions of rolin's brats. Last night (PDT time) one introduced itself by announcing "u stink". Another called adam1 kept saying "clues pls" over and over again, and he was the least obnoxious! Rolin threw them out, big time. Some returned this morning and were equally disruptive, but unfortunately rolin was not online.disruptive.

9:59 pm

Thank you all for the ca clues.I finished my ca words!

9:59 pm

jillibus - I think on Sunday night(?) when I'd been up for over 40 hours travelling home from Crete, I told Adam1 to 'go forth and multiply'?

10:01 pm

OK, now I can try to help for a bit

10:01 pm

What a mistake, jacula!!!!

10:01 pm

jac, so that's what happened...there were so many of them last night!

10:01 pm

firewords !!!!!!!

10:01 pm

yay helen!!!!

10:01 pm

Aknitter - have you not read back through the log today? I am a smoker but I got my come uppance when I switched my fan on and forgot to move my ashtray....

10:02 pm

Adam1 gave me a clue by telling a word. So I thanked him for his help and told him how to clue. He kept on typing words in log. I did not know he was a student.

10:02 pm

Helen - I will fire words at you if you wish. LOL.

10:02 pm

fireworks!!!

10:02 pm

i missed that jac, sorry to say that i laughed outloud when i read that

10:02 pm

yay paco & shelley!!

10:03 pm

me too jac, but it probably wasn't funny at the time.

10:03 pm

jacula - you're back !! how was your trip?

10:03 pm

Aknitter - so did many others. I've washed my sweaty, ash-covered face now though.

10:03 pm

well i am off to bed, don't want to be a tired cranky sheep

10:04 pm

ok. i'm used to struggling towards the end of a grid. but this is ridiculous. i honestly just do not comprehend how there can still be 48 words left in that mess.

10:04 pm

night aknitter!

10:04 pm

good nite aknit :)

10:04 pm

sneaks of to bed thinking of jac and her ashen covered face (not laughing though ;)

10:04 pm

need some cluing darci ?

10:04 pm

darci, there are some strange ones for sure

10:04 pm

Bye aknitter!Thanks for the clues! See you tomorrow

10:04 pm

here

10:04 pm

jacula! serves you right! I was a smoker since age 14 but quit in 1989, thank goodness. No more yucky ashtrays :D hooray!

10:04 pm

here's one...cy6 is first 3 letters of crashing instrument and first three letters of ***es of poetry

10:04 pm

Helen - Yes, I'm back. Trip (there and back; cattle class) was HORRIBLE! But bits in between were great. I fell in love with the Aegean Sea and the island of Spinalonga. I'm hoping to get a proper travel diary on BabAnon soon.

10:05 pm

wow, fran. thanks! never would have gotten that one.

10:05 pm

Congratulations helenkeller on fireworks! Good for U!

10:05 pm

back for a coupla...

10:05 pm

i for one and looking forward to that jac!

10:05 pm

Jillibus - you ex-smokers are far more pious and righteous than non-smokers! LOL.

10:06 pm

thanks, helen. i think i'm too tired for clues at the moment. haven't even looked at lickety's list yet.

10:06 pm

(Not being nasty. I know I'd be the same. I was over dieting when I finally cracked it!)

10:06 pm

jac - travel diary complete with pics, i hope :)

10:06 pm

annie still here? (hi all!)

10:06 pm

glad you had a great time! what airline did you fly?

10:06 pm

hi feather

10:06 pm

jac, i want to see the killer mosquitoes that resisted the repellants!

10:07 pm

hey feather! hey nrk!

10:07 pm

6 stars nrkii????????? wow!

10:07 pm

feather, I don't know what happened!

10:07 pm

you had the golden touch!

10:08 pm

I logged on today thinking maybe 3, and got the message that I had 6!

10:08 pm

hiya feather

10:08 pm

FirstChoice, Helen. Wasn't my choice and, given the experience, wouldn't be again. I mean, what kind of people try to serve you breakfast at 4.15am and sell you stuff and keep waking you up when they know you've been hanging around, not allowed to sleep, since 8 am or earlier?

10:08 pm

hiya nrkii

10:08 pm

hiya helen

10:08 pm

darci - lickey's clues helped me finish without asking for help :)

10:08 pm

that's awesome nrk!

10:08 pm

'We hope you've enjoyed your night with us,' they said. Yea, right!

10:09 pm

now my goal is to somehow get a perfect 7 stars one day... HA!

10:09 pm

jac - is that a british airline - i never heard of it?

10:09 pm

They froze us first and then told us their limited supplu of blankets and pillows were for children only. Plus they wear a horrible pink uniform.

10:09 pm

Poof, jac, I used to think so too. It was my son and his wife, who had given up, and their kids who talked me into it and I paid no attention. Then I had to go on a 5-hour flight to visit them, and smoking was banned on the plane. I couldn't face 5 hours smokeless, so used every crutch available to give it up. When I got there I found my son had taken it up again. But *halo expected* I persisted.

10:09 pm

Helen - I'd never heard of it either. It wasn't me who booked the hol.

10:09 pm

their blankets and pillows were for children only????

10:10 pm

ugh - delta did that to me once with the blankets!! i wanted to kill!

10:10 pm

brb, poopy diaper alert!

10:11 pm

jillibus - re the smoking - this lot searched our bags for lighters and matches on the out flight! Outrageous!

10:11 pm

No such thing was said on the home flight though.

10:11 pm

but delta ran out of them - also lost my luggage on that trip, plus we had unexpected lay-over in denver - i ended up with $300 in bonus coupons cause i raised such a stink when i got back here, lol

10:11 pm

Jacula, to keep you from being terrorists, or to keep you from lighting up in the wc?

10:12 pm

lol nrkii

10:12 pm

nrkii - they don't think we can control ourselves then?

10:12 pm

to stop the next 9/11 --- sorry, but we haven't forgot that have we?

10:13 pm

nut, not at all, just wasn't sure if the airline was grabbing lighters and matches for THAT, or to keep folks from smoking... given context of conversation

10:13 pm

Not forgotten 9/11 at all. But the so-called security checks are so ... can't think of the word right now.... anyway.... they wouldn't stop a terrorist if he looked honest.

10:13 pm

I've had the bag checkers seriously consider confiscating my tweezers...

10:13 pm

remember what they held up the planes with last time, now warp your mind so that it thinks like a terrorist...what could you manage with a lighter if you were mcgyver

10:14 pm

wow...i have seen many high-ranking babblers in the quote puzzler games...you are right nrkii...it is fun!

10:14 pm

Thing is, re 'sharp objects' - you could make a sharp object of anything, your fingers included.

10:14 pm

jeez evan - how can we freakin forget - there's a movie coming out next month - world trade center -just saw the previews on tv - now to me - that's really poor taste!

10:14 pm

now granted, I imagine a very skilled person like mcgyver could do a lot with tweezers, but with that much skill you could do a lot with LESS than tweezers

10:15 pm

Jac, my point exactly....

10:15 pm

jac - i spend my days rooting out bad guys, and lemme tell you, they are still there, and they're gonna keep trying.

10:15 pm

i'm not thrilled about those movies...makes me uncomfortable for some reason

10:15 pm

If you really wanted to, you could make a weapon out of almost anything... a CD case for instance could be cracked and be sharp.

10:15 pm

Where does it stop?

10:15 pm

the tweezer thing i can see - as in harmless. but a lighter has massive potential.

10:16 pm

nut, not disagreeing there...

10:16 pm

jac, remember the Shoe Bomber? Guess that's why no matches or lighters. Time magsays -- 30,000 - Average # of lighters the TSA confiscates DAILY (!) at airport checkpoints!

10:16 pm

Litigation is the worry for all these companies - not people blowing people up. It all comes down to money again. Sadly.

10:16 pm

BRB.

10:16 pm

I remember the old days, when I used to carry butane in my carry-on...

10:16 pm

Evanout,

10:16 pm

agreed jacula - greed :(

10:16 pm

I am curious' what do you do?

10:16 pm

a LOT of butane

10:16 pm

again, NOT litigation, sorry,m

10:17 pm

the almighty $$$...unfortunately it makes the world spin these days...problem is we are spinning so fast...we're all dizzy with greed

10:17 pm

godthad, i'm one set of eyes in many

10:17 pm

hmmmm, I don't agree cathyar

10:18 pm

I saw that line of discussion earlier, and I think it simplifies us too much

10:18 pm

agree w/nrkii, but the ones dizzy with greed seem to take up the spotlight

10:18 pm

evanonut, glad to have you keeping your eyes open, in all sincerity -- god speed

10:18 pm

i'm one set of eyes in many.... In many what?

10:18 pm

it's everywhere nrkii...all around ... no real love and compassion in the world these days. the most important things in life seem to take backstage to the almighty dollar

10:19 pm

many eyes of course!

10:19 pm

oh cathy, I couldn't disagree with you more

10:19 pm

So what do you do to root out bad guys?

10:19 pm

people are stepped on everywhere so others can get ahead.

10:19 pm

love and compassion IS all around, if you look

10:20 pm

cathy, i'm sorry you're so set like that against the world

10:20 pm

wow, I don't claim there isn't bad in the world too, but to say there is "no real love and compassion" seems drastically far from reality -- I'm sorry if that is what you see

10:20 pm

yes.. so i'm told...if you look and give of yourself ...the old cliche...do unto others (blah blah)...tried that route...get stomped on always

10:20 pm

godthaab - it's a job, i'm a sleuth...i check people out.

10:21 pm

Very cool!

10:21 pm

i believe if we put love & compassion on one side of the scale & greed on the other - the # of starving, war-displaced, needlessly sick people would bring those scales crashing down on all our heads

10:21 pm

cathyar - that golden rule is supposed to apply to your rewards after this life.

10:21 pm

not set against the world...will never give in and become like those who ARE truly greedy...i just find people do not put themselves in others shoes enough...too busy with their own lives to notice.

10:22 pm

uuuuuuuu whooooooooo

10:22 pm

hi ren!

10:22 pm

RRRRRENNNNNNNNNNNNNNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! !!!!

10:22 pm

wow, this is a depressing (or depressed) lot tonight

10:22 pm

hiya ren

10:22 pm

exactly evanonut... that's what matters...how u live your life here...the rewards will come after

10:22 pm

hey ya fran and nrkii and nutty buddy!!!!!!!

10:22 pm

not really depressing...just reality.

10:23 pm

hello everyone

10:23 pm

c'mon cathyar - let's get happeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

10:23 pm

ren, please come tell us how wonderful you think the world is, and people are...

10:23 pm

hi kalea

10:23 pm

hi kalea!

10:23 pm

and certainly NOT depressed.

10:23 pm

Cathyar - I'm not like that, any many people I know are not either. I'm not sure how the scales would tip if 50 % of the world stood on one side and the same on the other. I tend to think the good would still weigh a bit more.

10:23 pm

love and compassion were very evident today when hetty was hostess (in spite of ill health) to stidmmama, her mama, stidmatt and his youger brother -- and me, on her birthday, when she had made her own chocolate birthday cake. Stid and family brought lunch and I was delighted to be included, even though they wouldn't use the champagne I brought (driving, y'know)

10:23 pm

Hi Ren!

10:23 pm

i love this world - i LOVE life - and i love everyone, even the people i hate...hehehe

10:23 pm

i'm always happppppyyyyy!!!!!!

10:24 pm

that's nice jilli!

10:24 pm

oh...and how DID the meeting go between our fellow babblers?

10:24 pm

cathyar, it's depressing for me to listen to you and helen

10:24 pm

i love coffeee, i love tea...i love you all and.....you better love me!

10:24 pm

hey mistress!!!!!

10:24 pm

thanks ren, that does the trick

10:24 pm

i'm happy on the outside cause that's what the world wants to see...if u act otherwise, people shun u.

10:24 pm

love for ren - can you feel it???

10:24 pm

lol ren

10:24 pm

smiling :)

10:24 pm

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

10:25 pm

It was super - a total delight but too short -- they promise to come back here to paradise for another visit ;)))

10:25 pm

hey min!

10:25 pm

sorry to bring u down...nrkii...not my intention. just reality as i see it.

10:25 pm

ren, your eye is funky!

10:25 pm

hey ka

10:25 pm

cathy - if i could give you a big ole hug and shove a prozac down your throat i would, but i can't so i'll just (((((cathy)))))

10:25 pm

Hello kalea! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

10:25 pm

it's a wendigo!

10:25 pm

ROFLOL NUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:26 pm

hello Min........smiles

10:26 pm

it's depressing for me to see multi-million $ movies made about the world trade center when people can get good healthcare coverage - this kind of stuff doesn't so much depress me as make me very, very angry

10:26 pm

that's what you were talking about earlier!

10:26 pm

Someone (sorry, can't find the post now, it's moving so fast) said we'd been depressing in our discussions tonight... Sorry about that, it may have been me that continued it, in a way, after Cathyar saying about the chap hanging himself in a flea market and the market still going on until the coroner came 3 hours later to cut the poor guy down.

10:26 pm

As the Armstrong singer said,"It's a Wonderful World"

10:26 pm

lol jill...that's great!!! aww...evanonut. love hugs n lots of em, but prozac or drugs of any sort are not necessary to accept reality

10:26 pm

*can't* get good healthcare coverage

10:26 pm

Helen - is the profit from the film not going to the victims' families? If not, that is appalling.

10:26 pm

helen, move to pa - - my husband got excellent healthcare from the state, good ole fast eddie hasn't cut that out yet.

10:27 pm

welp - it made it interesting....

10:27 pm

lol...ok... life is all state of mind...that is for sure.

10:27 pm

Hi min and ren - must explain I'm using tomorrow's Planet Earth icon bedcaue I'll have to miss joining the group and I thought it was a fun one (see profile)

10:27 pm

I've just been reading the chat log with great sadness. After our lovely day together here on the island--Stidmam and Stiddmatt and jilli and I--it's hard to join in the worrying about wrongdoing when like AnnFrank I believe people are basically good . Oh--just saw jilli's remarks. Thanks , jilli, it was lovely, wasn't it?

10:27 pm

how about a clue on the an 5?

10:27 pm

cath - nothing wrong with prozac, i took it and i'm pretty sure i'm still real *pinches self* OUCH

10:27 pm

jac- i don't know, but then again you have to consider --- IF there's a profit

10:27 pm

and there are always people worse off and better off than others.

10:28 pm

ren, a + french for name + sometimes vowel

10:28 pm

an + vowel _ belonging to me

10:28 pm

attitude matters in a successful life....

10:28 pm

i don't think i'll be seeing it cath - i imagine the younger generation might though

10:28 pm

okay, I'm not up for this conversation I guess...

10:28 pm

good night all!

10:28 pm

'Night nrkii.

10:28 pm

an/5 takes the ending used in science from the Latin for law--nomos--change os to sometime vowel

10:28 pm

lol.....the _ was supposed gto be a +

10:28 pm

and loving others regardless of circumstance

10:28 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the de 5/18 word please

10:29 pm

night nrkii - lots of luv kiddo!

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

if your tooth gets a cavity its because of tooth de***

10:29 pm

10:29 pm

besides my doggie needs to pee

10:29 pm

the other de word is a hunter's fake duck

10:29 pm

de5/18 - one who lures the hunter away from the hunted.

10:29 pm

min, one is rot and one is a de*** duck used to fool other ducks

10:29 pm

de5/18 "ch*** and de*** in all around I see"

10:29 pm

i love life, i am basically a very happy person, but all it takes is a few to ruin it for alot - one more word : enron

10:30 pm

*smooch* cathyar

10:30 pm

thanks fran - nite nrkii....sweet dreams are made of this!

10:30 pm

who are wee to disagreeeeeee?

10:30 pm

oh, tho who changest not abide with me

10:30 pm

okay, now I'm back, and I hope cathyar hasn't gone yet...

10:30 pm

traveled the world and the seven seas...

10:30 pm

My daughter just came off Prozac and started smoking. I hate her smoking, even though I'm a smoker. I didn't think a lifetime on Prozac was a good option either.

10:31 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the de 7/44 word please

10:31 pm

I left because I truly ran out of things to say

10:31 pm

everyone is looking for....words

10:31 pm

i refuse to allow the "bad" ones to spoil my appreciation of how good life can be, and the many wonderful people in it

10:31 pm

Actually,I need both de 7/44 words if you have them.

10:31 pm

min, add "one who" ending to both de5 words

10:31 pm

jac - i only took it a year, and no smoooooking for me

10:31 pm

nrkii - how about some clues then!

10:31 pm

but I'll add this: we get to choose in this world between DESPAIR and HOPE... we don't get to control all the bad things that may happen around us, but we do control how we respond

10:31 pm

well - i gotta go tend to laundry & dogs

10:31 pm

and I choose to HOPE

10:31 pm

just saw Jac's c lue, and iog course it's the same except for one letter

10:31 pm

both de7's are comparative to the d5's

10:31 pm

min - put the 'doer' ending on the 5/18's

10:31 pm

i eact cheetos

10:31 pm

eat

10:32 pm

nrkii - i hope you daaaaaaaance

10:32 pm

and ren eats cheetos!

10:32 pm

nice addition ren, thank you

10:32 pm

chocolate works better.

10:32 pm

She tells me it calms her down. Now... hang on.... when she was in hospital for 2 years or more she got printed info off the staff in her bid to stop ME smoking.... that info stated that nicotine agitates you, not calms you... I reminded her of that.

10:32 pm

oh, don't leave, nrkii -- you're such a delight!

10:33 pm

Does anybody have a clue for the do 4/5 word please

10:33 pm

dance dance dance when you feel that beat

10:33 pm

jac - i don't think anyone really knows why they start do they? i mean now, when we know

10:33 pm

nrkii - Never feel you have to leave here because you don't know what to say.

10:33 pm

nrkii, never lose your hope--it's the thing with feathers, as my poet says

10:33 pm

min, rhymes with what you walk through

10:33 pm

i have a popsicle that is melting

10:33 pm

I'm not upset with anyone -- nobody made me mad, but I'm just saddened when I hear people focusing so much on what's wrong with the world -- I don't endorse putting your heads in the sand and pretending it's all wonderful, but CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL, and HOPE for the best out of everyone... okay now I'm done

10:34 pm

Jac, I was just sad and sleepy

10:34 pm

and I agree with jac and jilli; I alwys love what you have to say

10:34 pm

and ignore the rest - that's my policy

10:34 pm

This is a great community with wonderful people. The only time I leave is when the schoolkids and/or trolls are being obnoxious and I need to sit on my hands.

10:34 pm

did they go up the hill?

10:34 pm

renfield..."lick it up...lick it up!" (possibly the worst KISS song ever)

10:34 pm

10:38 pm

I have it on the best authority from myn teacher daughter; all her grade twelves know that

10:38 pm

10:40 pm

bye gw

10:40 pm

I'm BAAA-AACK!!! Doggie had a pee. Now I feel inclined to advise u all I am NOT a depressed person. sometimes sad at the state of the world today and the seeming coldness of many in it, but I DO make the best of life and only hope and pray for the best for others...most especially those i love.

10:40 pm

Mind you, I imagine the look on the face of a prgnant fish would be much the same as that on the face of a twit as we know it.

10:40 pm
