thx LA! :) hi mymuse!

12:12 am

this grid looks scary...i have a phobia for the ones with the Qu tile and too many vowels :O

12:12 am

at least the q's aren't bad, firefly, i finished those already

12:13 am

i agree LA - they're not bad at all

12:13 am

yeah, i can usually get them, i just get this awkward feeling with Qu grids, that's all - but i'm a little different... lol

12:14 am

i know, it feels like the grid is cheating if there's a qu in the middle of a word

12:17 am

and . . . . . . flip!

12:21 am

hey melon

12:21 am

Melon, I played cello in high school -- many a decade ago

wow, a fan club ;)

cool, ARB - any of your kids play?

12:23 am

One daughter played for the year before we made aliyah (35 years ago last month)

12:24 am

She was 10 years old and even the 3/4 cello was a bit big for her, but she loved the sound.

35 years ago - wow. how did you decide to make aliyah? a lifelong dream?

my nephew started on cello - his teacher is my stand partner - she's the string teacher at his school.

he's small for 10, has a 1/2 size - his mo is stunned that he sits still long enough to play, active as he is.

12:25 am

Bunch of things, including the agonies of Northern California in the wake of the Hippie movement of the late 60's .

12:26 am

Even beginner cello sounds not bad, if the kid is bold enough to bow it

California. funny how one will develop a mental picture - no matter how wrong-headed - i think of olim as coming from the east coast!

true - cellos don't screech.

12:27 am

We were midwesterners who moved to Marin county in 58 (brought a little Yiddishkeit) .

you've been everywhere!

i didn't check the def., melon, but i was surprised by that as well. at least one of the easiest 8-letter words to clue

12:40 am

12:41 am

einsteinium is an element, isn't it?

12:42 am

2:07 am

morning matty!

Heya - you should have come for drinks to SW London!

2:12 am

next time! it was so bloody hot that we just collapsed onto a train as soon as possible!

Actually, babbling in bed isn't as comfortable as you might think...

2:18 am

*sounds* like a great idea though ...

Does, doesn't it lol. I should get up soon - showered etc. Sarah's wedding's at around 2.00

I wish I had a hat. With feathers. And fruit.

2:21 am

thank goodness its not so hot today then! weddings and uber heat don't go so well

Even mock weddings.

2:22 am

Not so hot!! It's blooming roasting already and humid too.

I'm not too hot a the moment - I was very hot last night, thoguh.

2:22 am

mock weddings??

Sarah's 15.

2:23 am

awwwwwwwwww!

She's got a dress and everything - I'll take pictures!

2:24 am

thats too cute!

7 bridesmaids, singers, vicar - the works. It's for RE or summut. One of the singer's mums has even hired Sarah a wedding car! (More money than sense, methinks)

2:30 am

wow! that's fancier than my real wedding!

Mine too! I got married in Hounslow Registry Office LOL. Exactly halfway through, and may need to resort to the list. Or shower and dress - it's a toss up.

Good morning all. The site seems to be working for me today.

3:19 am

Good morning Haz, you made it today!

3:19 am

I did indeed. I finally managed to get on yesterday evening, got the grid finished and then was booted off again. Was it something I said?

I wonder if I can get six more words for my 100 before I get in the shower...

3:21 am

It was a strange babble day yesterday, glad you made it though.

3:22 am

It wasn't a grid to make you pleased with life, that's for sure. This one looks happier.

3:23 am

It is, when you find a word try all the available ending and most of the time they take.

The time they take?

3:25 am

most of the time the word is accepted

3:25 am

I'll bear that in mind. I've only just noticed that po4/6 as in Victoria Beckham is sh4/6 (as in retail therapy) the wrong way round. Any connection, do you suppose?

Oooohhhh

Right - back later.

3:27 am

Bye matty, see you later.

5:41 am

its a weird word matty. the plural of mine, drop the s and add third vowela and the second vowel

5:42 am

i need clues for pl 6/21 se 7/32 please

Thanks mags...

5:43 am

yw matty

5:44 am

pl6.21 - is a tool, and se7.32 is not silly.

5:44 am

pl 4 = ballet move pl5= ballet move plural pl6 = common toolwhich builds on pl 4

heh, Jen. The first time I read your clue, I thought it said "se7.32 is not, silly" and I thought "well that's not very helpful...

5:47 am

TY Kateq - I just got about a dozen words after those clues

5:47 am

need the other 6/21. have the tool.

5:48 am

lol, Takuma. :D

5:49 am

PL 6.21 - I think it is a fabric - build on ' 'taking the **** out of some-one' (hope that isn't too rude for you)

5:50 am

the other pl 6/21 is an anagram of the pl 5 (plural) with an extra s one of those "no entry" in the dictionary words

6:00 am

hi everybody!

Good morning, Fran

6:01 am

i need one more word, does someone have a clue for po7/32, the first one?

6:02 am

hi Fran :)

6:02 am

hi marso, takuma!

the first one means having to do with a particular kind of lyrical activity

6:02 am

it is a little used word--literary rhyming

6:03 am

and it is a plural

(plural)

6:03 am

the singular form ends in the sometimes vowel and is not in the puzzle

heh, I just wanted to make darn sure you knew it was plural

6:03 am

Greetings, everyone!!!!!!!

6:04 am

hi mm :)

howdy mm

6:04 am

6:12 am

I can't get the 1st po7/32 from the earlier clue, further help plz?

6:13 am

edgar allen P** plural + the plural for words ending in the sometimes vowel

6:13 am

6:16 am

takuma, the 8 is so8/45

6:16 am

6:27 am

Soiling or the condition of being soiled. A blot, stain, or smudge.

6:28 am

sorry, didn't mean to post that with the word in it!!!

6:28 am

MM, does that mean there's going to be an Ice Age 3?

6:28 am

wow! I just put in a ps4 for fun and didn't even expect it to be a word!

6:29 am

chiley, that was the definition of the so7/32!

6:29 am

wow...I'll try to sneak that into conversation today

6:30 am

8:16 am

Hey, FMitch. what would the 1st letter be?

8:16 am

thanks fmitch! probably wouldnt have guessed otherwise... charm -- its TO

8:16 am

Oh, evanadine - I had those. I was expecting the q to be the 2nd letter.

8:17 am

silly me.

8:17 am

I wanted them to start with an e.

8:18 am

that's what I kept looking at, FMitch!

8:18 am

Any clues for these words with q's in them?

8:19 am

type of hat, philod.

8:22 am

clues for the first si 5/12 and 6/21 please

8:23 am

i need a different clue for those Q in the middle words please

si5/12 = fr for mr. monsi***. I think that's the 1st. 6 is pl.

8:24 am

8:25 am

thanks

8:26 am

any clue for ho5/12

8:32 am

Bedtime! Have fun. HO reminds me of an Asian sauce.

8:33 am

... or mis-spelt stocking (and pl)

8:33 am

ho5/12 = ho*** by my own petard. change the final consonant to a vowel. ho6/21 is pl.

8:33 am

rhymes with noise

8:33 am

But I guess it's another form of raising up a sail ... without the cross letter.

ty

8:34 am

Hi! Seems fairly fast today, although I'll no doubt get stuck towards the end.

8:40 am

Magzel: po5/14 & 6/24 - a/k/a decants (and then past tense).

8:41 am

Magzel - rather one who decants. not past tense. duh on me.

8:41 am

Judi, is that for the po at the start of the list?

8:42 am

Charm - those are the only po5/14 & 6/24 I have. Haven't looked at the list yet.

8:43 am

po5 = p + lubricate + vowel. po6 is pl.

8:44 am

I'm going to try and shock the server into behaving better. So there will be a brief downtime starting in a few minutes. It should only take around 10 minutes for the surgery.

9:03 am

ru6/24 = ru4/6 + 2 vowels. ru7 is pl. During ru** week at colleges, students visit frats/sororities to see which they want to join.

10:12 am

10:12 am

my word list is gone.

10:13 am

po 7 is po6/23 plural

10:13 am

pdb, try refreshing

10:13 am

sorry po 6/21 plural...that is

10:14 am

there are two po7/32. i have the plural one. What's the other, please? (very first po word)

10:14 am

Yeah, I did. Well, this makes it more of a challenge!

Hello again gang

10:15 am

don't know, anyone else? I could use it too.

10:15 am

hm, interesting glitch for you pdb!

10:16 am

Well, luckily I have NaN+ hours left, according to the screen.

10:17 am

i have one 4 letter word left.. so 4.5

10:18 am

Therre are times being a po**ry nut pay boff. The first po7 is pl of the art of po****. Use a snake

10:18 am

Misu, rhymes with hops?

10:18 am

I keep losing connection, too. Yet my internet connection still says "excellent"

10:18 am

got that one

10:20 am

Misu - what Campbell's makes?

10:20 am

got the ones that rhyme with whole and tower

10:20 am

Oops, sorry, that's 4/6

10:20 am

Misu, mmm, mmm, good....that's what Campbells so** is

10:20 am

I meant so** patch kids - my favorite candy!

10:22 am

What the h***! People do hourlies, don't they? You know, a report every 60 minutes.

I'm still baffled by the po7... the art of po****??

10:23 am

i don't get the first po7 clue. another one please

10:23 am

po7- the act of spilling a drink into a glass

10:24 am

po7- people who have lots of calmness and stage-presence have po***

10:25 am

PO5/12 - she recieved the award w/po*** and dignity. So she was a po****. Two of her would be the plural

10:25 am

jai, that's not the first po7

10:25 am

I know, I clued them both...

10:26 am

Does the art of po*** have to do with verse?

10:26 am

i still don't get the first po7,32 the very first po word

10:26 am

there are 3 po7, have we had clues for all 3?

10:26 am

It's another word for the po**ry you're thinking of ..

10:26 am

No- it sorta ryhmes with voice"

I have two po7s... are there more than two?

10:27 am

i have 3

10:27 am

I have putting in a glass, (7/36) and people who have grace (7/32)

10:27 am

Edgar Allan ..

10:27 am

po5- is to have stage-presence- po 6 is one who demonstrates this- po6 is pl. the 5

Roc can you clue the third?

10:29 am

I finally got the very first po7, sounds like a boquet of flowers

10:29 am

im outtahere

10:29 am

Po** for a picture, add thrid vowel after "oh"

10:29 am

Got booted off again!

ahhhhh I got it!

10:30 am

Now play with endings...

I had tried it without the final consonant, the French word for verse, and it wasn't accepted so I didn't try the plural

10:31 am

And I forgot that there was the po7 that is the bouquet...

10:31 am

Done, done & done!!!!!!! Now I can go back to NOT enjoying the bloody heatwave!!!!!!!!!!

10:31 am

Hooray, Movieman!$%$%$%$%$BOOM!

10:32 am

WTG movieman!

10:32 am

congrats MM and yes it is too hot and humid today :(

congratulations movieman!

10:32 am

i may be missing some of the clues, but I still need the first po7,32 word the one before the person writing verse

10:33 am

just got it

KMS, think a "pocketful of po****" and insert the second vowel

10:33 am

By the way, bostonmermaid, they say that most of the hot weather came over from La France, so how was it for you?

10:33 am

This is too tough, not having a word list. With 29 to go, I'm taking a break. Perhaps my word list will return to me later.....

10:33 am

po7 bouquet of flowers, old-fashioned word

10:34 am

pdh have you tried F5 refreshing?

10:34 am

that took care of that P. now i can work from the other one

Movieman, I'm actually in New Hampshire this summer, so I can't say... but it has been VERY hot here in New England!

10:35 am

Hurray, FMitch! I had refreshed and signed off and back on, but F5 worked.

it's been too hot to Babble, too hot to eat, too hot to move, to hot to kiss my beloved...

10:35 am

bostonmermaid, has it been anywhere close to 97/98 degrees F?

Boston, thats pretty hot

We hit 100 on Tues

10:36 am

i have friends here from aus...they cant believe it gets this hot in the uk

I'm sure we've hit 100... today's not so bad though

10:36 am

F5 solve a lot of the more common issues in babble land :)

I've felt like a zombiemermaid

10:37 am

We also hit 100 on Tuesday in Baltimore. Or maybe Monday. All the hot days are blending together in my mind.

10:37 am

Actually, Jai, the p7/32 is the art of po**** (po4 made into the art form) pluralized, has nothing to do with flowers.

yeah, they do that

10:37 am

That's global warming for you, Rolin (either that, or by some strange quirk of fate, the whole country has been moved a 1000 miles or so closer to the equator)......LOL

yes pdb, the days blend together, you forget what day it is, you forget what your last name is... you just park yourself in front of the fan and pray

10:37 am

10:41 am

10:42 am

take a tip from an aussie...at night open all your windows...let the heat out...then tomorrow morning..if its gonna be the same as today...close every window...pull the curtains...and keep everything shut down until the air outside starts to cool again...

LOL... Brits don't know how to deal with the SNOW!!!

10:43 am

movieman.. 4.5 years

I was in Wales one winter when they got a *dusting* of snow, not even a half-inch... and I watched in amusement as the entire country plunged into paralysed hysteria... no one would drive, the shops all closed, flights were delayed...

10:44 am

It's 'cos we're not used to it, boston.......that's why the whole county goes apeshit......

10:44 am

im missing a q... i have q5/16 x 3...6/27 and 6/30

10:45 am

They have occasionally closed schools here before any snow actually falls - just the anticipation of snow.

you could barely *see* the snow on the pavement, and it had snowed for all of 20 minutes... but for the next three days my hosts and I had to huddle inside and just hope the phones were working and our food would last...

very amusing for a New England girl!

10:45 am

Clue for Li4/5 and Li5/12, please?

10:45 am

need 7/44 past tense of "hush"

I know, movieman... I'm very fond of you lot, too :)

10:46 am

thx jai...

10:46 am

You are a quck cluer, jaianniah!

10:46 am

in li** of, instead of l+ three vowels

10:47 am

rolin - past tense of the first qu 5

10:47 am

Thank you, jaianniah. Can't believe I didn't see that. Must be the heat.

10:47 am

TY< PDB! Try to help as I can! :o)))

10:47 am

I'm off for a while. Going to slip into a little lunch.

10:47 am

Jai, I love your indefdatigable cluing and find your list most helpful--however may I please correct you on the first po7/32?

10:47 am

Is Lickety's List not up?

10:48 am

Sure, Hetty- I am NOT perfect by any means!

10:49 am

Lickety posted shortly after flip time I think.

10:49 am

What should the clue be, Hetty? I will edit...

how many UK dwellers do we have here right now?

10:50 am

Well, there's me boston......

10:51 am

and me

10:51 am

Just in the intrerest f definition, the first po7/32 had nothing to do with flowers. It's the plural of the term for the art of poetry, which--were the top left corner letter were a "y "instead of an "rwoukd be recognizable Hebrew fashion, reading fom right to left along the top row of letters. --yw

come on, everyone from the UK, raise the roof! or curtsy!

10:51 am

10:53 am

i bet some have melted..

10:53 am

speaking of snow (well, you were) - snow in BC is very different from that in Quebec or New England. Here it's greasy and much more slippery so an inch or two is much more paralysing -- besides, roads don't get cleared quickly as they do in real snow country

10:53 am

hey that's handy

10:53 am

I'm here in the UK :o)

10:53 am

Dr_G is from America!!

10:53 am

YEP!! Go Roc!

10:53 am

Terms about po**ry are very peculiar-- for example the craft of the po** is called "prosody"--go figure

that's true jilli...

10:54 am

How ironic- poetry is not prose.....

ok so not Dr God... but Michharv is 5

10:54 am

yes, jilli, but snowmin Sakatchewan--my other Canadian home-- is dry and powdery most of the time

10:54 am

yes, jilli, but snowmin Sakatchewan--my other Canadian home-- is dry and powdery most of the time

12:24 pm

nnc

12:32 pm

okay, I *think* I only need about 50 words, but I was working on the board away from the computer, so I'm not sure

12:33 pm

ok - I need the so word - saw a clue about fish and dirt but it got me nowhere....

12:35 pm

sorry, not there yet cadfan

12:36 pm

If there's only one so word, then a fish clue related to it would be boulobaise. (or however that's spelt.)

12:37 pm

cadfan- so 7/32. dirt + to attract someone

12:37 pm

why is hourlies not recognized? I have 4 hourlies that work for me!

12:39 pm

(oh boy, the more I look, the more so- words I see...)

12:39 pm

gonna have to think a while.. finally got the dirt part though

12:39 pm

Vicuna, t here are 2 so 7/32 and one so 7/28

12:40 pm

I have the 7/28 - working on the others....

12:40 pm

actually, i'm a liar- there is one so 7/32 and one so 7/28

12:40 pm

the other...

12:40 pm

LOL

12:40 pm

Thanks, abe. I made the mistake of offerring clues before getting very far myself. I have all those now. :)

12:41 pm

i've reached a total standstill in getting more words, so i figured i'd help out with 7's

12:42 pm

Plus the 8 which is pl of the 7/32, CadFan.

12:42 pm

vic, i love your squirrel!

12:43 pm

Thanks, feather. I know how he feels! Is yours for real? Can you really catch squirrels on a line? I'll have to try some time!

12:43 pm

hee, google search the phrase "squirrel fishing" and you'll see where it came from

12:44 pm

sometimes one truly does make things too difficult for one's self. Not me, mind you, but some. ROTFL

12:47 pm

Hello, all. just stopping by.

12:48 pm

Hello, Charm. Happy Birthday!

12:48 pm

Oh, oops. not happy birthday, Happy anniversary of joining!

12:48 pm

I need help with the is5/10 folks. Thanks.

12:49 pm

Why, thank you, Vic! I had to look at my own profile to see what you were talking about. lol

12:49 pm

is5/10 - is + first three letters of machine to measure earthquakes. (It means a Japanses immagrant.)

12:50 pm

(Holy moly, my typing is atrocious. But I think it's all decipherable.)

12:51 pm

thanks muchly vicuna - got it. Sheesh I knew that word in any case...

12:51 pm

It doesn't matter, Vic. I read somewhere that we don't read each letter; so long as the 1st and last letters are correct, we can understand.

12:51 pm

Feather, are you still here?

12:52 pm

yup

12:52 pm

Now that you mention it, I must have seen that same thing, Charm. But my typing does not always spare first and last letters!

12:52 pm

i've seen that first and last letter thing before! a whole paragraph messed up, but readable

12:54 pm

We were talking the other day about authors, and LK Hamilton in particular. A couple of others you might like are Lynn Viehl and JR Ward. I suggest Ward with reservations because she gives her characters' names unnecessarily silly spellings and sometimes her writing doesn't flow. But she has created an interesting alt. universe.

12:54 pm

oh, cool! yeah, i tend to glaze over odd names. if i can't pronounce it, i make something up

12:55 pm

It's sometimes funny to find out how people pronounce their own Babble names, since I often have been thinking something completely different in my head.

12:56 pm

I thought a vicuna was a kind of animal (a fox?)? Or am I just in a world of my own?

12:57 pm

It is an animal. It's related to a llama. But I was responding to feather's comment on the names of characters in books.

12:58 pm

yeah, we were talking once about nrkii's name, and general agreement was we say "nerkie" in our minds

12:58 pm

I think of it as nerkie-eye.

12:59 pm

hehe!

12:59 pm

hey - help with the pl 6/21? (the one in the middle; not the tool)

12:59 pm

my better half says my log name sounds like cadaver...oh dear...

12:59 pm

sorry eagle, don't have yet

12:59 pm

i have it, will clue momentarily

12:59 pm

Don't worry, davuers. I wouldn't have thought of that. ... But I will now! :)

1:00 pm

(Sorry, mistyped davurs.)

1:00 pm

p + rhymes with smooch + vowel

1:00 pm

pl6/21 = p + girl's name (sorta kinda). I think it sounds like an old fashioned jacket/coat for a woman.

1:01 pm

Hello abe. sorry, didn't mean to step on your toes.

1:01 pm

awesome, thanks

1:03 pm

This won't help, but the def. is "A puckered finish given to fabric by treating it with a caustic soda."

1:03 pm

interesting, thanks torgone!

1:03 pm

...and the po's are now causing me trouble. well, I have most of them, at least. getting the p's finished before I take a break (I think I have ~10 of them left)

1:04 pm

and that's ...well, about a normal-type definition for here, isn't it?

1:04 pm

later everyone. have to supervise lunch.

1:05 pm

Bye, Charm. (Which I pronounce "chair-um.") Just kidding!

1:05 pm

lol vic!

1:05 pm

=8-)

1:05 pm

bye charm

1:06 pm

laters charm

1:09 pm

bye charm (sorry was away from my desk)

Hello again

1:11 pm

Hello, ladynoire.

1:11 pm

can I get a clue for the first po 7/32?

1:13 pm

po7/32 - pl of art of writing verse, starts first three letters of said verse

1:14 pm

Edgar Allan Flowers ..

1:14 pm

I've gotten that far, it's just the last few letters I haven't figured out yet. :)

1:14 pm

:) torgone

1:15 pm

ends like torgone said: end of bunch of flowers

1:15 pm

fish me. was looking at the wrong p

1:15 pm

Ring around the rosies ..

1:16 pm

(The kind of flowers that you get pockets full of when playing Ring Around the Ro....)

1:16 pm

yeah, once I realized that I needed to be looking at the other p, it totally made sense

1:17 pm

okay, finished the p's, break time. thanks guys!

1:26 pm

slow in here today

1:27 pm

H-e-l-l-l-o-o-o-o, f-e-a-t-h-e-e-e-r-r-r-r. . . .

1:28 pm

se7/32- no laughing matter

1:28 pm

i have a se5/10, that is like a psychic, plural

just got it Vic,t hanks

1:29 pm

se5/10 - pl of se4, unless there are others

like a psychic?;

1:30 pm

Actually, feather, I was just trying to be slow. But the echo is as good an interpretation as any. :)

1:30 pm

hee

1:30 pm

a psychic se** into the future...she's a se**

got that one, its the other se5/10 I need

1:31 pm

that's the only one i have, sorry!

thanks Fea

1:33 pm

okay, here it is: se5/10 - misspelling of grab, add a vowel to the previous se4

1:34 pm

thanks vic

Okay, just two more sh's and I'm done with them

Hello again. What are my chances of getting the last eight words, do you think...

1:43 pm

MIssing one T - have te 4/5X2, th4/5, 5/12, 6/21, 4/6, 5/14 and to 4/4 and 5/16 - anyone know what I'm missing?

1:43 pm

i'm missing 13 P words from the bottom. sigh.

1:43 pm

Depends which words they, are, matty! ;)

1:43 pm

i don't have the list yet cadfan

1:44 pm

I've got all the P's, feather

1:44 pm

I just need ~half of the S's and a few Ts

1:44 pm

to6/27, CadFan.

1:44 pm

that's ok, just griping in general, but thanks! i'm sure i'm missing some vital letter pattern

1:45 pm

cad -> plural the to 5/16

I need Ss and Ts as well. No fours, just 3 fives, 4 sixes and one seven. Shall we start with the seven? So7/28 and it's probably associated so6/18

working on the Si's now

1:45 pm

LOL tried to past tense it but never plural... THANKS

1:45 pm

i'll bbl, taking a break

1:46 pm

Just its pl, matty!

1:46 pm

Fancy party, matty

I don't have the 6/18, though, sadly...

1:46 pm

Bye, featherbee.

Do now - thanks, Tor!

Matty, french word for Sir

then the plural

1:47 pm

Oh, sorry, matty; I misunderstood!

Anyone have the si5/14?

Mee - I do - think of an alternate spelling for what you might put on pancakes

1:51 pm

si5/14 - alternate spelling of boiled down maple sap?

I'm working on the si5/12 and the si6/21

1:51 pm

Put it on your waffles ..

1:51 pm

sirups

1:52 pm

Cause if you've got a LOT of waffles, that's what you'll need...

Thanks Matty and Torg

1:52 pm

OOOOOOPPPPPPSSSSSS!!!!!!! sorry

1:53 pm

matty, see lady's clues for the si's

Matty - Bonjour Monsi***

then pluralize it

1:56 pm

Oh well, everyone was about to get that word anyway . . .

Thanks Lady!

1:57 pm

oops. closed the t's (and got the si's thanks to everyone)

il n'ya pas de quoi

Just two to words left - the only two left not involving foot digits.

Or they might - who knows - I don't have them yet!

Now to work on the so's

What's the canadian hat - the tos...?

1:59 pm

Canadian chefs eh?

1:59 pm

chefs hats have names?

*~*~*~*~*~*Fireworks*~*~*~*~*~*

Why Canadian chefs, though?

Yeah Matty

2:00 pm

Roger, Bill, to5 are their names, ladyn!

2:00 pm

Without actually knowing any French, I believe the word is simply French for "hat."

2:00 pm

It's a chef's hat OR what Canadians call a wool watchcap

Well, what a day - my 15 year old was married - kinda...and I'm now going to watch Angel. Anyone need a clue before I go?

2:01 pm

2:01 pm

Congrats, matty! on the grid and on the marriage???

2:02 pm

Dirty bait (so)

2:02 pm

My icon shows a picture of the big day - the school puts this on for reasons I'm not entirely clear on.

2:03 pm

Your daughter is a lovely bride... if perhaps just a trifle young!

2:10 pm

soul

2:10 pm

I've been reading the comments about Canadian chef's hats with great amusment, as an English bilingual Canadian I have never heard the word applied to a chef; in colder parts of Canada people, especially children, wear to**** in the wnter--a woollen cap that pulls down over their ears pronounced ----t--long oo--k

2:10 pm

oops I am so very sorry everyone

2:10 pm

Haven't done them yet Lady!

2:11 pm

Hi Hetty....how are you?

2:12 pm

bgm - if you haven't already had a look at Angelsongs Resource link under Friends of Babble at the bottom of the page. Lots of hints and tips there.

2:12 pm

so 7/32 - dirt + fishing bait (there's a letter overlap)

2:12 pm

So, Vicuna, I think as always you are right--french for a winter hat

Shade, just got that one, weird word

2:13 pm

Hetty is there another clue for it?

2:13 pm

Hullo Flsk and thanks for asking. I have post-op exam this p.m. which I am rather dreading--ask after that!

2:13 pm

Oh......I shall cross everything ....just for you!

french for a winter hat? now that one I don't get

2:15 pm

Thanks flask! Cadfan - south bay

2:15 pm

yes--it rhymes with Yorkshire pronunciation of "book" and after the "to" you go to the poblematic rarely used sQUare followed by a second vowel

2:16 pm

Look at the cue, ladynoire

ah, gotcha

2:17 pm

Excellent clue....but I already had it...:(....its the to6 am looking for!

2:18 pm

I grew up in the Hillcrest area. Have you been there long? Remember the old Sears store?

Yeah, all the So's are done

pluralize the french hat

2:20 pm

Ihave 13 so's - is that all there are?

2:21 pm

2:30 pm

2:30 pm

2:38 pm

2:44 pm

TH 5 is the plural of the Th 4/6

2:44 pm

2:47 pm

I think you can try it for a fortnight jms and see if you like it before you need to go pro. I think it's $15.

2:47 pm

that's not bad

2:47 pm

3:03 pm

well done Miss P!!

3:03 pm

3:04 pm

I am so glad I am home... though I loved seeing Hetty and her crew... I am a bit overwhelmed by the big city that was the rest of the trip. Glad I was only there a couple of days.

3:04 pm

nice!

3:04 pm

Yes Stid....I could feel Heety's joy all the way over the Atlantic, at having you!

3:06 pm

I think we were the first North American Babble meeting... it was great fun! If my whole three days had been spent with Hetty and Jill (and hopefully next time Flosey) I think I wouldn't be so tired. :-)

3:07 pm

Oh well........now you can sit back and enjoyed all the memories...

3:07 pm

3:07 pm

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

it's a weird word si + the second vowel, the fifth vowe; and a consnant and the pleural

3:34 pm

I was gone 3.5 days, and at times it did seem like forever. Except when we were with Hetty and Jill. then it seemed like forever was washing around us and leaving us behind.

4:34 pm

Hi Cath

4:34 pm

how's it goin flask1?

4:34 pm

Hi Cath!

4:34 pm

And the eyepatch is a nice touch. Do you think a squirrel can have a parrot on its shoulder?

4:35 pm

hmphh! crosses winged arms, i meant after i improved my icon.

4:35 pm

Am gettin' there Cath, thanks....yourself??

4:35 pm

Hi Cath - you missed the rabid attack squirrel!

4:35 pm

hey stidmatt...ya go on the trip with yer mom to visit jill?

4:35 pm

hmmmmm

4:35 pm

Flask --- I am talking about the word for dirt + to tempt someone....so 7/32... the last letter of the first compound word is the same as the first letter of the second word....just add an s for the plural.

4:36 pm

huh fizz? sounds scary...the boyfriend had one of those in his cottage all winter!! squirrel poop everywhere come springtime

4:36 pm

eeeeeeeeeeee's eeeee's e's are all i see!!!

4:36 pm

I didn't think about the poop, Cath. Nut - think we can do a diaper and keep the pirate toughness?

4:37 pm

can i have that clue for the so7? and 8 pls?

4:37 pm

lol fiz

4:37 pm

kkiln - you are a genuis

4:37 pm

Yup! and I went with Stidgrant (Whyo is playing Battlefront II) and my Grandmother!

4:37 pm

kkiln....I am not getting it!

4:38 pm

me neither...don't have the compound wd

4:39 pm

flask -- the word for dirt + lu 4/5 --- it is really a compound of so 4/4 and lu 4/5.

4:39 pm

the first word is "dirt", the second something you use to entice fish - just omit the second "l"

4:39 pm

okay - rabid flying squirrel hopped up on drugs with a hoop and patch now has a pet bird.

4:40 pm

Nice work Nut!

4:40 pm

Got it thanks!!

4:41 pm

why thank you, i should do a show

4:41 pm

wow...that was tough...tks kkiln

4:41 pm

sounds better than what's on tv these days (for the most part) evanonut

4:42 pm

Cath it starts with the S in the centre of bottom row and work your way up!

4:42 pm

LOL Cath - sad, but true.

4:42 pm

lol...at first i didn't even see the dirt word!!! (course i did just return to the game)

4:43 pm

*looks sadly at short list* It's a good thing the real point of babble is all of you guys!

4:43 pm

I couldn't see the dirt word either.......lolol

4:43 pm

hi... clues for the first si word?

4:43 pm

Glad you got it!

4:43 pm

ya...i love the chat...i often forget about the game in chatting on so!!

4:44 pm

thats why I rarely see fireworks.......cos' I can talk too much!

4:44 pm

It's *really* hard to concentrate when you're being attacked by a rabid, etc. flying squirrel, too.

4:44 pm

had everyone thinking i was a depressed sort the other nite tho... i'm really not!!!

4:45 pm

just back-- no fiz-- I take the T, but I've been avoiding those tunnels all long...

4:45 pm

along

4:45 pm

k...bk to the grid for a few...

4:45 pm

having driven around there two weeks ago, I take my hat off to anyone who drives in Boston

4:45 pm

Glad to hear it, Lib. My sister just flew out of Logan and it took her 2 1/2 hours from my house with the detours....

4:46 pm

and that comes from an experienced manhattan driver

4:46 pm

ok, i'm not quite ready to grab the list, but i'm missing a huge amount of Ps. I have 7 PLs, 12POs, 1PS, and 6 PUs. Can someone just point where I have holes?

4:46 pm

Dorens -- hard to clue...si + currency used in Europe today without the last vowel.

4:46 pm

thanks kkiln....french for sir

4:47 pm

I've bee n told by people in my hometown (lowell, ma) that I drive like a cabbie...

4:47 pm

you have all the pl's feather

4:47 pm

used to boston...

4:47 pm

ok, good, that helps dorens!

4:47 pm

Just having a brain blast. Maybe on one of the days when we don't have an icon theme scheduled we should use Science Fiction!

4:47 pm

missing one po

4:48 pm

and a lot of pu's

4:48 pm

so a bunch of PUs looks like

4:48 pm

i know feather......going thru the list can often be a chore when sometimes monkeying could work

4:48 pm

it was when I cut someone off & then routinely thanked them...

4:48 pm

yes, there are like 18 of them!

4:48 pm

thanks! yeah, i'm down to 43 left, and am not quite ready. i probably will be after i monkey around with these Ps some more

4:49 pm

40 left... tough one, I think...

4:49 pm

try manhattan. libarebel....no matter what anyone says, it's ten times easier than boston... and easier to find your way around.

4:49 pm

i'm down to 12....but don't know if i'llever find them

4:50 pm

Word up, Dorens. I'll drive in Manhattan any day over Boston. RI isn't any better, though - just less dense.

4:50 pm

wee, just got 6 PUs in a row!

4:50 pm

on a roll feather....

4:51 pm

see, sometimes that's all you need....a nudge...

4:51 pm

drove in manhattan once-- easy-- streets are not cow paths

4:51 pm

exacto!

4:51 pm

in boston they just paved the cow paths-- true

4:52 pm

4:54 pm

4:56 pm

less unruly, elalyr

4:56 pm

no ru6/21, but i have the 6/27!!!

4:56 pm

ru 6/21 -- something you draw a line with...butfourth letter is an extra vowel.

4:57 pm

Dorens - check the log for evidence of nut's innocence....

4:57 pm

innocent, that's good nut.....but i've been around here for a couple of weeks, so just slightly skeptical!!

4:57 pm

aha, thanks dorens & kkiln

4:57 pm

ty dorens

4:57 pm

i'm wounded

4:58 pm

what's up with the first po 5/14...think it must have something to do with rhymers,but....?

4:58 pm

a slingshot to the wing?

4:58 pm

tranq dart to the wing, hence the hoop

4:58 pm

anyone have the li4/5 & 5/12?

4:58 pm

5:09 pm

kkiln - how did you do that?

5:09 pm

I am really making a mess of things....the clue I gave is for po 6/24 --- po 5/14 is the plural of me without the last letter.

5:10 pm

Thank you girls and boys. I will return after I order the pizza.

5:10 pm

*pizza and dacquiri...yumm*

5:11 pm

ty, kkiln-- weird words!

5:11 pm

*smacks lips* this alcohol is hitting the spot... totters off to play with fire.

5:11 pm

katusha -- po 5/4 is p + grease (3 letters) + fifth vowel. Add an s for po 6/24.

5:12 pm

NOOO...nut...u can't do that!!! you'll get hurt!!! *staggers off to rescue squirrel lady*

5:12 pm

TheFiz -- you need to make it plural!

5:12 pm

5:12 pm

Have to go all....happy babbling!

i don't think you want to know stid!! :-)

5:37 pm

Thanks Fran, did I end up in the top 10 for the triple thing? I haven't been yet today

5:37 pm

LOL mich! maybe German Shepherds derive from felines and not canines?

5:38 pm

so then we all got attacked by rabid squirrels, and i tried to scare her with an owl icon, and libarebel turned into cruella deville, and finally I had to shoot her with a tranquilizer dart, and then matt yelled at me

5:38 pm

you earned one star mich...i think it was for the triplet one.

5:38 pm

I haven't been on the quotepuzzler site in longer than I didn't babble... will need to get back into that, as well!

6:37 pm

Evening all, got the fireworks again, so I can relax. hurshy, did you have a good flight home? Must have been an amazing holiday

who cares, rather

6:38 pm

hetty lets do it

6:38 pm

thanks fran --didn't think of the plural

6:39 pm

Therew IS no silly french chef hat word. It's a perfectly valid French canadian term for a winter hat worn in our 40 below weather

6:39 pm

i sensed that jbp!

6:39 pm

*wonders if someone should tell rather that hetty is a grandma*

6:39 pm

nrkii - thatsalotta ppppppp

6:40 pm

goooo nrk!

6:40 pm

she must really have to go!

6:40 pm

The hat word always reminds me of Doug and...uh...the McKenzie brothers, you know? Bob and Doug, was it?

6:40 pm

That winter Quebec hat is a tu

6:40 pm

jbp, the 8 starts with so, plural of a 7 that builds off the dirt word

6:41 pm

hey all of you go to the website www.guitar411.blinkz.com its our website

6:41 pm

jbp- the so is getting dirty, dirt + a fishing lu** (only 1 l)

6:41 pm

8:43 pm

okay, a story about squirrels to pass the time: When I was a young girl -- maybe ten or eleven -- in Virginia, a big storm came through -- powerful winds. The kind of storm where everyone huddles in the safest part of the house with blankets and pillows and pretends to be brave. A HUGE white oak across the street fell sideways, across the cross street and just missed another house.

8:43 pm

nite cathy

8:43 pm

okay Cathy, good night

8:43 pm

ty, Pumpkin!

Judy, i sucked big time for the first several times!!

let me try that again ... SU7,32 = SU4,5 + LI4,4

8:44 pm

but your names in lights now!!!! lol

8:45 pm

back to the story: After the storm, everyone in the neighborhood walked out to assess the damage. We heard little sounds -- creaking of limbs, water dripping, cars sliding on wet pavement... and then a chirping noise. We looked everywhere. Suddenly, my mother told my brother to hold very still.

8:45 pm

yes judy, NOW i can get into the top 10, very challenging though

8:45 pm

su 4/5 to be positive about something is to be su**

8:46 pm

And at his feet, was a soft, fur-lined little pouch -- a nest with two baby squirrels inside! Both alive -- and both hungry.

8:46 pm

su 7/32 - nastier - su*****

8:46 pm

I have the SU7/32.....its the SO7/32 I am looking for.....

8:46 pm

aaahhhhhh

8:46 pm

8:46 pm

Not knowing where the parents were (or even if they had survived the fall), we took them home. Made a little nest for them in an old aquarium, and called the vet.

help with the second PU7,36 please?

8:46 pm

chat not working?

8:46 pm

8:47 pm

Hi Fiz & Rocky

8:47 pm

Hundreds of eyedropper-fulls of canned dog milk later, and many hours of holding and cuddling and playing with them, we took them to our favorite little walking trail at Harwood's Mill in Newport News and set them loose at the base of a nut tree. They ran up as if they had lived there all their lives...

8:48 pm

Nut! How's your electrical level?

8:48 pm

gw, i have one in diapers, one recently graduated from them

9:03 pm

indeed, stid -- we have been treating him with A&D ointment or original formula Desitin, but he has an open sore that is veeeerrryy slow to heal

9:03 pm

judy i am about an hour north of you at the cape cod canal

9:03 pm

is 5/10: first generation japanese in the United States.

9:04 pm

Fiz -- I won't have a vacation til this time next year due to changing jobs

9:04 pm

we had an imaginary MJCL with stid on Tuesday - stidmama, her mama, stidmatt, his kid brother, hetty and hetty's hubby on her birthday - what a great babbling convention!

9:04 pm

greywoulf, the one thing i swear by for diaper rash is Burt's Bees diaper balm. it's expensive for a teeny tube, so i keep it for emergencies, but it's extremely good.

9:04 pm

I think you're more than an hour, ak. I'm in PA. I think you mean Fiz.

9:04 pm

Sad for you, Woulf! Stid, I'm coming up your way this fall - going to check out the Olympic peninsula.

9:04 pm

I'm jealous Jilli!

9:05 pm

Woulf -- have you tried calendula ointment or something with comfrey? Assuming it's not infected, those might help things heal faster.

9:05 pm

feather -- is is available widely, or only a few stores?

9:05 pm

aknitter, ou4/5, you**, mine and ou**

9:05 pm

oops you are right i did mean fiz

9:05 pm

this game is so much more than a game

9:05 pm

do you have CVS pharmacies? i know it's there, and at Wegman's I believe

9:05 pm

Well Fiz, we'll have to get together!

9:05 pm

Well, AK, if you're coastal you're ok. My sister's in Easthampton and she's got awful thunderstorms.

9:05 pm

ty fran -- babble clues for dummies, great book

9:05 pm

Ain't that the truth Jill. Love talking to everybody.

9:05 pm

Thanks for that idea as well, stid -- *goes to get a pen*

I will take care of everyone. =) I've got a lot of energy

9:06 pm

woulf, my sister-in-law used to dry the babies' butts (she has twins) with hair dryer set on low.

9:06 pm

Burt's Bees should also be online...

9:06 pm

yep, i'm pulling it up on amazon right now

9:06 pm

to really get the area dry before re-diapering

9:06 pm

Stid - I'll let you know as things get closer. And AK, just had a HUGE clap of thunder - I might have lied...

9:06 pm

There's also a fungal powder I use (I think you could use it on babies). Zeasorb AF

9:07 pm

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C S7PP8/104-8848919-2018308?v=glance&n=3 760911 you'll have to copy and paste in parts

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

I do too ak but my one cat absolutely freaks.

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

9:08 pm

i amsitting here with my new kitty, just about 12 weeks old

9:08 pm

yeah, Fiz -- we had a power outage of a split second two nights ago and even though my computer was off at the time the new hardware found wizard has activated for the printer

9:08 pm

I didn't do it - she ran into the thunderstorm holding the lightning rod on her own. I just asked her to hold my kite while I called 911. And I'm on the laptop so ok on the power front.

9:08 pm

9:10 pm

we can start talking about kids shows we remember fondly -- like The Magic Garden

9:11 pm

feather, never did see the spinner, but then I never see a squirrel here in paradise!

9:12 pm

it's hilarious...a local store that is called "wild birds unlimited" was selling it, and had a video playing of these squirrels basically going for merry go round rides before they went zinging into the air

9:12 pm

I'm back. Another great diaper rash ointment is Boudreaux's Buttpaste. The inventor was on Oprah and we have used it before on our children. It's great!

9:12 pm

he 7 is the female who will inherit a ton of bucks!

9:12 pm

True - I'm a bit of a grammer queen myself, haven't picked up all the l8r, cu, et cetera.

9:17 pm

Is it a plan?

9:18 pm

Actually, I remember asking if Shirley's curls were real -- a cynic from Day One, I guess -- mine was dull brown and feebly waved

9:18 pm

No, it's Letterman!!

9:19 pm

I am actually saving the money to get the Electric Company boxed DVD set that just came out :)

9:19 pm

10:00 pm

We are both crabby, live in Maryland, have birthdays the same month 3 days apart, what more can we ask for :o)

10:00 pm

10:00 pm

it's after those

10:00 pm

Well, I had an uncle named Ronnie Lee (not Ronald, Ronnie).

10:01 pm

the other pu6/24 is a assistant on a cruise ship, sounds like one who pu5/14s

10:01 pm

my dear son may be a cancer but he's is far from crabby. I think his lovely wife would even agree with that!

10:01 pm

then plural for the pu7/36

10:01 pm

oh hi flosey! didn't see you there earlier!

10:01 pm

Interesting Krista - I'm also a cancer - and in Canada, born on July 1st

10:02 pm

stid, how was your trip?

10:02 pm

that's good jilli, my sister however, is quite crabby, not sure if her husband agrees though.

10:02 pm

it's the 2 after all those fran

10:02 pm

Oh, I'm loveably crabby. I'd like to think. Well, maybe I shouldn't be the judge of that. :l Ooohh...Flosey..interesting! I remember being in Canada on Dominion Day as a kid and we didn't know why the traffic was so bad.

10:03 pm

recently back, was off island most of the day

10:03 pm

And flosey, I don't think you're crabby either. Cancers are supposed to be kinda dreamy people, aren't they?

10:03 pm

flosey, do you have 5 words that start with the handbag?

10:03 pm

dreamy - sleepy would describe me better these days

10:03 pm

yes Fran, it's the 2 following all those and just before the shove word

10:04 pm

That's a nice way of saying Air Heads. :)

10:04 pm

Hi there - I'm back 54 to go - Flo - you're not sleepy - you're amazing!

10:04 pm

Speaking for myself,now!!

10:04 pm

flosey, if you all 5 of the bag words there isn't anything else in between those and shove

10:04 pm

hubby might agree to that krista at the bridge table

10:05 pm

me too, today anyway, having had about 3 hours of sleep because I had to get up at 6:30 and wa still watch8ing the clock at 3:30, having gone to bed at 10. Night owls are night owls -- a theme idea????

10:05 pm

LOL, Flosey! Blame it on the birth sign. ;) Oh goodness, my poor sleepy kids. They need me. Goodnight, all!

10:06 pm

10:06 pm

Kind people, a hint for pl6,12?

10:06 pm

Fran, sorry I had missed the plural there, 6/24, but now need the 7/36 of that group

10:06 pm

Myne Girl -- you're the amazing one -- seem to have taken to this as if you'd been doing it all your life!

10:06 pm

flosey, this is how they go pu5/14 - handbag pu6/24 - ship's pu**** pu7/36 - plural of ship's pu**** pu6/24 - plural of handbags pu7/36 - more like the handbags

10:06 pm

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

What's all this about crabby cancers? Dont THINK I'm crabby, but know 'm subject to mood swings, theatrical, and a lover of my home--all attributes associated with the sign. Oh, and more of a creative than a logical thinker.

11:09 pm

11:09 pm

Ping, I just posted a story about my great-grandfather. It's the 2nd in a series of "Remembrances" that I want to do. Would be oh so grateful if you know anyone who might want to contribute, if you could send them my way.

11:09 pm

yes, have that & the plural for 6...

11:10 pm

MayneGirl TY

11:10 pm

po4/5, 5/12 6/21 all from same base word, do you have po4/5

11:11 pm

I do not have the si 5/12 before the si 6/21 flosey.

11:11 pm

as in versifier, flo?

11:11 pm

po5/12 is a graceful person

11:11 pm

pu4/6?

11:11 pm

graceful, gracious person has po***

11:11 pm

po4'/5 is the grace minus its final vowel, or french for peas

11:12 pm

po4/6 is Brit slang for snotty, high-class

11:12 pm

pu 4/6 is a pu*** cat but take away the last letter.

11:12 pm

lib, cross the 1st pu 4/6 and the 4th to get the one you're looking for

11:12 pm

I have those ones - just missing on 4,5 and one 7,32 po

11:13 pm

so 7/32 and 8/45?

11:13 pm

atro - dirt + what you fish with

11:13 pm

maynegirl, the 4/5 is the 5/16 minus last letter

11:13 pm

ty!

11:14 pm

maybe you need the ps4? The po7/32 is pl of po/21

11:14 pm

well ty flo - but that;s French!!

11:14 pm

yes

11:14 pm

sp 5/12?

11:14 pm

two po 7/32... 2nd is plural, first is edgar allan *** + 4 **d** to a square

11:14 pm

that is the po6/21, Mayne

11:14 pm

okay, I am thinking you fish w/a rod, it's not on grid.

11:15 pm

fish with? pole? rod? candy?

11:15 pm

There are 2 po 7/32's - I have the graceful one but not the other

11:15 pm

min - what's on the other end of the rod?

11:15 pm

min, you use a rod, bait, fishing line, a reel, and a **** (rhymes with a word for certain that is also in grid)

11:15 pm

mayne girl, thats the one that starts with edgar allan ***

11:16 pm

ah thanks nrkii

11:16 pm

maynegirl, it's an incorrect spelling of a bunch of flowers

11:16 pm

ty, nrkii!

11:16 pm

add and e for third letter

11:16 pm

the other is a po7/36, and it's one who does the po**ing out of liquid from jug

11:16 pm

I could have gone straight to the "rhymes with word for certain" and skipped all the fishing equipment I suppose :)

11:17 pm

MayneGirl,isn't there a real at the other end of a rod

11:17 pm

Ahh, ty Flo - was forgetting the "s" at the end

11:17 pm

Min - where do you live?

11:17 pm

i'm not big on fish, except when it comes to babble, apparently

11:17 pm

I finally,got the fishing clue! Thanks Mayne and nrkii!

11:18 pm

yw min

11:18 pm

floset there is nothing incorrect about po7/32. It's the pl of the term for the art of po**ry and has noihin to do with flowers

11:18 pm

okay, cannot get so 8/45

11:18 pm

19 left - never been so close before

11:18 pm

go go mayne! we'll help you finish

11:18 pm

nrkii, i finished the questions for the survey - appreciate the reminder

11:18 pm

hetty, true, but flosey's clue made it easier for some to get it :)

11:19 pm

sure ping ... didn't realize you had gone away, did you see my comment about "remembrances"?

11:19 pm

In facct if the top left hanbd corner letter were a y you could read the singular of po7/32 by proceeding from rt to lft

11:19 pm

MayneGirl, I live in Westchester New York, and you?

11:19 pm

ty les - have to turn the light on - typing in the dark here!

11:19 pm

11:20 pm

Ping, I just posted a story about my great-grandfather. It's the 2nd in a series of "Remembrances" that I want to do. Would be oh so grateful if you know anyone who might want to contribute, if you could send them my way.

11:20 pm

re 4 but not the foxes

11:20 pm

learning many new words in this game

11:20 pm

hooray atropos!

11:20 pm

sorry, nrkii. I find it hard to accept the cutting of corners where language is concerned. It's the pedant in me

11:20 pm

yay, atropos!

11:20 pm

Congratulations atropos on fireworks! Good for you!

11:20 pm

nrk, i will check your blog - were you here when stid said she'd started one too?

11:20 pm

re4 get up

11:21 pm

ri 6/18 = those who get out of bed, perhaps

11:21 pm

???

11:21 pm

nope, but I know she has one

11:21 pm

mistake, sorry, re4 re plural

11:22 pm

hetty, I break the rules and cut the corners all the time if it makes the clue work better ... for instance, yesterday, "anomy" was easier to clue as a bad misspelling of someone who is not your friend

11:22 pm

MayneGirl,one re 4 is the beginning of a candy re**** peanutbutter cup and the other is same word minus second e and replace with another vowel.

11:23 pm

ty min - never heard of that word before

11:23 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ru 6/21 word please

11:23 pm

oh, did anyone see helenkeller today -- was she able to use an icon with Alan Rickman in a squirrel suit?

11:23 pm

min, someone who is ru6/27 before it

11:23 pm

I noticed that, and I winced--I recall writing abut the latin for law--but a literary term I find particularly hard to grant licence about. Mea culpa.

11:24 pm

well hetty, everyone gives and understands clues in their own way I suppose

11:24 pm

sorry to offend hetty - but anything that works!!

11:24 pm

Thanks nrkii. That was for ru 6/27, I need a ru 6/21.

11:25 pm

and ru 7/36

11:25 pm

so 6/7 combo?

11:25 pm

so many of these words are new to me

11:25 pm

what you use to measure, then add singular pronoun

11:25 pm

the ones that make me wince are the ones that say (for instance, to clue the word tree) "it rhymes with free"

11:25 pm

ru 7/36 is the plural of ru 6/25 MayneGirl. Just got it

11:26 pm

sorry min!

11:26 pm

Yup. That's one of the joys of babbling, diversity--and speaking one's mind without fear or favour

11:29 pm

11:29 pm
