good night babbler, stid

12:20 am

babbler thanks for the icon clue

12:20 am

good nite babbler - i added you to my friends - a good idea!

12:20 am

Any clue on the starting letter for the 8?

12:20 am

and ty all for your instructions

12:21 am

suri is a word. it means imaginary child.

12:21 am

so busy looking at icons & adding friends, i only have 12 words in, lol

12:21 am

LOL LeslieAnn!!

12:23 am

I changed my icon. The one I had with Russell Crowe didn't work because Irealized the character name isn't actually a word that Babble accepts :) So ... new icon reflects real word

12:25 am

lol ch1212 - admit, still stumped by yours

hi - seems like a toughie tonite

12:25 am

i'm trying to decide wheether to catch 3 1/2 hrs sleep before i drive the ex & my son to the airport @~ 5am. getting up at vs staying up until...

12:27 am

hi all, does your icon have to be a real clue...my son loves these, and it is in the grid (can we say grid today?,havent looked!)

12:27 am

not at all, seano! good one!

hi hk!

12:28 am

what is the word count , please

12:28 am

only 90 today

12:28 am

90

12:28 am

thanx

12:28 am

mymus -gotta admit, am not getting yours either, looks like a mourning dove to me

12:29 am

I am stuck on that bird also...looked for the tern, but didn't see it

12:29 am

nope, was a word in grid coz I wrote it down lol

12:29 am

yes no cooer today

12:29 am

melon - i'd votes for getting a few zzz's.

12:29 am

does it have to be today;s grid?

12:29 am

what do the tile stats mean?

12:30 am

how many words start with that letter, sunny

12:30 am

so if you have 4/9, you have 4 out of the 9 words that start with that lettre

12:30 am

or letter, if you're not british. which i'm not.

12:31 am

that's what I thought... but I didn't see the numbers change when I got one, maybe not looking

12:31 am

thx

12:31 am

just made up/monkey-ed one of the p words...

12:31 am

just found the mysterious D guy!

12:31 am

there may be more than one of that letter in the grid, sunny, it may be starting from a different one

12:31 am

does the icon have to do with today's grid or any previous grid?

12:32 am

plural it, jee!

12:32 am

lol mymus - i was thinking it would be in this grid here

12:32 am

no - from a previous grid

12:32 am

nrkii, just figured out your icon, although I had the word before...good one

12:32 am

preferably today's grid, muse! :)

12:32 am

grrrr got to go to work......why does it get in the way.....

12:32 am

oh, then I have to look for another one

12:33 am

or leslieann, in my case singular it

12:33 am

or that

12:33 am

Jee, I worked backwards on that pair too

12:33 am

lol sean - bye

12:34 am

dudn't it seem like dudn't should be a word?

12:34 am

12:38 am

ok jee - we all have our days - it is WORLD RENOWNED film actor alan rickman

12:38 am

do I have to look up the movie Blow Dry? Didn't see that one...and I thought that the way the hands were on the hips might be indicative.

12:38 am

hey debb

12:38 am

hi debb!

12:38 am

hiya debb

12:38 am

sorry, don't know Mr. Rickman...maybe I need to get out more?

12:39 am

12:40 am

sense and sensibility? hugh grant

12:40 am

Harry Potter, for one

12:40 am

12:43 am

hey bj

12:44 am

12:44 am

no, sorry i mistyped. 40 four-letter words

12:44 am

12:45 am

anyone want to clue some 7s or the 8 before i call it a night?

12:46 am

12:46 am

he also originated the role of valmont in dangerous liasones on stage, but lost the movie role to john malkovich

12:46 am

12:47 am

john malkovich can be very creepy

12:47 am

and that was the one 7 I had already...

12:47 am

sigh

12:47 am

jee what is on that icpn lol too tiny for these eyes

12:47 am

alan rickman also can be very creepy, but way more sexy than malkovich

12:48 am

there's a 7 that's - well - i wish the ATMs dispensed them more often.

12:48 am

what do they begin with?

12:48 am

click on it taz

1:35 am

Hello Everyone!

1:35 am

hi aleksia

hi aleksia

1:36 am

1:36 am

4 whole weeks, helen :) 1st week school, then about a week at home, and then 8 days to Germany with the family. It feels so good to be free :D

1:37 am

oops, sorry

wow - now that's planning for time off very wisely! and time to recoup from going away - that's always important

1:37 am

have a lovelytime sprite, enjoy!

1:38 am

have a great holiday sprite

1:38 am

Yes, I am really learning now. I am handicapped and I have so much trouble learning to accept that and take things easier. But it is very rewarding, once you get the hang of it. ;)

sprite - i hope you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by handicapped?

1:41 am

I have a damaged pelvis, so I can't walk or sit or stand very well.

omg - were you in a bad accident?

Clues are Up! Late buy up!

1:43 am

No, it happened when giving birth to my daughter. Which is 8 years ago now, so it is about time I am learning to live at a slower pace, I guess ;)

1:43 am

thanks sweet lickety!

1:43 am

Hi Lickety *hug*

1:43 am

tyvm lickety!!

1:43 am

ty lickety

that sounds like it must be extremely limiting & i'm guessing very tiring too - nothing surgical can be done?

1:45 am

They can immobilize the whole thing and I would end up in a wheelchair permanently, with possibly (not certainly) a little less pain. So that is not an option for me, lol. Best I can do is to learn to live with it. And seeing how stubborn I am, that takes me lots of time. I am rather proud of myself I am finally getting the picture.

1:46 am

well good for you sprite - i hope the pain is manageable

1:46 am

Any clues for the ur4/6 please?

well more power to you sprite! - a good attitude is so important to living a good life - for everyone, but much harder to maintain through pain -

1:47 am

Rhymes with guys who cannot stay away from their computers, maddie.

1:47 am

TY sprite!

1:48 am

i have to go now, bbl

1:48 am

Pain is a teacher, for sure. Not a nice one, lol, but a wise one. Thanks for all the kind words and sentiments! :) I am off to do the shopping, with my little girl. Wouldn't trade her for the world.

1:48 am

Bye MVA!

1:49 am

bye sprite and mva

Great, Susan! Well done :)

I appreciate the help, sprite. Can I help anyone before I head off to bed?

Hi Sprite. Hows the grid today?

3:45 am

morning everybody.

3:45 am

morning everybody.

3:45 am

Interesting, Preethi. A bit tight. But also some wonderful words. I am (for some obscure reason) so happy with Dr5/16.

3:45 am

Alex, if you are in extreme need you are in di*** need of something!

3:45 am

Afternoon everyone! Is the grid a nice one today?

3:46 am

Alex - is it the awful, extremely bad di4/5 which can also be made into a comparative di5/12?

howdy

3:48 am

Hi matty

3:48 am

thanks

3:49 am

If you can resurrect, why not surrect?????

3:50 am

You can have insurrection as well. Someone will know.

3:50 am

3:51 am

Buttonman: rhymes with the guys who cannot leave their computers alone. Darn, that phantom is bugging me no end, I thought I had found the 3rd 7.

3:52 am

i don't get it sprite

3:52 am

Buttonman - leave off the start of Miss Muffet's food

3:55 am

Morning all. I think my icon might be the clue to Buttonman's word quest.:-)

3:55 am

No. Sorry. Mine's a couple of ne words.

3:55 am

Lol, I think so too, hi Jac. I am thinking, didn't we have someone who's cat was named Merp? He is in the grid today!

3:56 am

Eva's cat is Merp :)

3:56 am

Sprite - I was going to say that. Yes, Merp is Eva's cat.

3:56 am

Yes sprite, its Eva's cat, the lovely big blackand whilte one.

3:56 am

Eva owns Merp, she'll probably be on later. Good morning Jacula.

3:56 am

4:07 am

du 6/24 builds on all the others. Sounds like worry!

4:07 am

Ooh, phoning vets in a panic is bad enough as it is, but to have to do it in a foreign language must be even more stressful!

Well done, Sprite! Are you on holiday or about to go on one?

Angela Landsbury and Omar Sharif ch1212

That's right, FMitch, but did you know that Diana Rigg also played her?

8:33 am

frances,... a girls name?????

8:33 am

ok, everyone who has a grid word in their icon needs to give a hint which word it is!!!! FMitch, what is that thing?

8:33 am

No I didn't, in a film too?

8:34 am

Mine is the te6/21 madagascan hedgehog

Frances is a girl's name, Francis is the boys'. Mine should be obvious, (icon that is)

8:34 am

k, thanks! *off hunting*

8:34 am

love the colours in yours matty

8:34 am

yep, thought octopus at first, but then looked at the letters and got it matty

8:35 am

I think it was in a film. I googled the name looking for Angela and instead found several of Diana. Okay, hint for my icon: scuba specialist ... and then plural

8:35 am

got your now FM

8:36 am

katusha i for 'im and e for 'er Francis him Frances her !

Does your start with A?

Diana Rigg appeared in the film 'Mrs *****goes to Paris' - she played a French lady called Mme Colbert.

8:38 am

i'm not having good luck with the grid today

8:39 am

pa4/6 and plural its what you write notes on plus a vowel then plural

8:39 am

mattygroves, I see we are illustrating the same word.

8:39 am

Ah, that explains it, Haz! Thanks for clearing that up. I've read all the books by Paul Gallico -- that series is a favorite

8:39 am

someone help with the first di5 please

8:40 am

ra 6?

8:40 am

german for your

8:40 am

Doh of vcourse she did, she was in the film with Angela etc. Hi and thanks Haz

8:40 am

phand - who is that to?

8:40 am

No trivia too trivial!

8:40 am

mornin babblers!

8:40 am

good morning, time to change my icon!

8:41 am

hi harp! Didn't see you icon yesterday -- love it!

8:41 am

German for your would start de.

8:41 am

ok swap the vowels

8:41 am

lol evanadine! i knew what your icon was right away!

So we are, Vic!

8:42 am

cj25 that was for you; apparently you need to switch the vowels for the german your di5

8:42 am

its subtle, i know. ;)

8:42 am

thanks :D

8:43 am

yw; I need the ra 6 pls

I got your profile, Evan!

8:44 am

and if you have even more of my icon, you have the N7 ;)

8:44 am

I am still stuck on the first di5,12,.... is there another hint besides a girls name????

8:45 am

german your; swap the vowels

8:46 am

di5/12 - first three letters 'to expire' then first two letters of what fishermen use to catch fish

8:46 am

Evanadine, I had to refresh about 5 times to make you stop being a butterfly, but now... thanks for the n7! :)

8:46 am

ok, I'm all dressed up and ready to play now!

8:46 am

eww, i hope nobody chooses the su5/12 as their icon

8:46 am

lol harp!

8:47 am

im starting to wish we had saved this theme for a day with more words! cause ive only found 22 as it is...heh

8:48 am

Or - di5/12 - The late Princess of Wales' name, replace the a's in her name with the second vowel.

8:48 am

haz - good clue.

8:48 am

(* fails to find anything eww-worthy about "more certain" and starts looking feverishly for another su5/12*)

8:48 am

I hope it helps katusha!

8:48 am

finially...... thanks everyone!

8:49 am

hehe vic. it's similar to something with a fringe on top, but means something totally different

8:49 am

24 to go

8:49 am

same thought here Vic

8:49 am

and it has a pl too

8:50 am

oh, thanks FM, i forgot to plural it!

8:50 am

gross! Just found that su

8:50 am

i need ra 6/21 and re 6/18 pls

8:50 am

yeah, i def. dont wanna see that!

8:51 am

re6 is the te6/18 backwards

8:51 am

the EC 4-5 combo would be really easy to do for an icon...but it would be pretty dull!

8:51 am

need that one too

8:51 am

ooo, thanks eva

8:52 am

re6/18 is an ingredient of cheese. It ends in the afore-mentioned fishing equipment. ra6/21 adds a word of certainty to make a close shave

8:52 am

Thanks, feather. Probably not pretty!

8:52 am

Hello, Babblers! How many words today?

8:52 am

8:52 am

8:53 am

Hello Jen!

8:53 am

8:54 am

We have an unwritten contest in our family, I was trying to beat out my sister who paid $15 for her wedding dress as a Gunne Sax factory outlet. She won.

8:54 am

that would be hard to beat

8:54 am

chch, what letter is your icon cluing?

8:55 am

how's your day going, haz?

8:55 am

It makes a refreshing change from girls trying to outdo each other with how MUCH they spend on a wedding dress.

8:55 am

okay harp, you know we're going to ask you to post a photo now :) My icon is a scuba specialist, and then you can plural it

8:55 am

Binliner is cheaper :-)

8:56 am

Hello, nrkii.

8:57 am

en6?

8:57 am

It's the Mod Sq5

8:57 am

oh! i didn't have that yet!

8:57 am

But you do have to be careful not to let infants put it over their nose and mouth as suffocation may occur...

8:57 am

I had been ignoring it - apart from the laundry which I like doing anyway.

8:57 am

Chinese for quiet: sirence

8:57 am

10:27 am

"The Sun Also R****" change the last vowell ..

10:27 am

The U next to the QU is really driving me crazy. I don't know how many words I've tried that would require just one u there...

10:28 am

Now, plese, someoine--anyone-- ce7 and ce8?

10:28 am

ce7/32 - middle of a circle, but add an extra -n- in the middle

10:29 am

ce7 and the plural..... a kind of money+a consonant and more of it....

10:29 am

Vicuna--IGNORE that "u", you don't need it

10:29 am

the last er4,4??????, not the period of time plural or the one that sounds like a name

10:29 am

I know that, hetty. I'm just saying I keep typing words in that would work beautifully if that U WERE the only one.

10:30 am

er4/4 - makes a mistake

10:30 am

katusha er4 to make mistakes

10:30 am

I need the last si 5/10 please

10:32 am

I'm not getting the double "n" and the money clues for ce7, nom matter how I monkey around the grid

ce7 starts with one penny + first three letters of the geek

10:33 am

10:37 am

10:37 am

It can be down to individual PCs Hetty some refresh straight away some if you click on the icon and some if you force it by doing F5, glad you got to see the pic in the end

10:37 am

Hi The Fiz

10:37 am

ce8 is pl of ce7 as clued at 10:32

Button: the enns are divided by a t.....

10:47 am

i think Fix's icon is Si5/10...right?

10:47 am

Hmm... I dunno what to tell you Buttonman. Refresh? Try again? get a few other words and come back to it? Cross-check with the si6/18 minus a vowel clue?

10:48 am

thx caitlyn - i've only got 18 so i had a hard time picking...i'm working on it....tough choice btw the si5/10 and the sq5/18

10:48 am

su4,6?

10:48 am

Sure is, Luring sailors to their doom.

10:48 am

kat -- soap bubbles

10:48 am

su4/6 bubbles

10:48 am

i thought it was appropriate since my singing voice is legendary in these parts...

10:49 am

got that one,.... the other one....

10:49 am

su4/6 - bath bubbles su4/6 - a voiceless sound, but if it began with ab- it would mean really ridiculous

10:49 am

and Stid has a lovely picture of her word sq5/18

10:49 am

vicuna too...

10:49 am

That's why we call her Lorelei-Fiz.

10:51 am

Count me in as a singer please. Tho I no longer have the other si*** attributes

10:51 am

I must say neither the German referent nor the "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" referent is a very good role model for a girl!

10:51 am

love it evanadine!

10:51 am

My icon is the cr4/5 :)

10:52 am

SU 5/12 to be more than su4/5

10:52 am

The lorelei rock on the Rhine is just gorgeous,Fiz, And personally I think the sound of the word most euphonious

10:52 am

I have been at this for too long, TY,.... 5 left....

10:53 am

true, hetty, but the meaning...dolores is another one - what do you think about when your parents name you sadness?

10:53 am

Bugzy are you gong to open it today?

10:54 am

bech - if you're being snotty you could be said to be putting on these

10:54 am

any clue for the ur word?

10:54 am

plural of wha = ait we breathe

10:55 am

ooh, do we get to enjoy it in the jaccuzzi??

10:55 am

I would think that most people naming their daughter Lorelai these days got the name from The Gilmore Girls, and probably aren't too familiar with the other references...

10:55 am

pl of what we breathe

10:55 am

Fiz, you think of the via dolorosa and realize some sadness is beautiful and achieving

10:55 am

Fireworks!

10:55 am

the ur word rhymes with words

10:55 am

t + the UR word = poo. :D

10:55 am

10:57 am

jee--they end in male plural

10:57 am

jee -- ai6/21 = guys who fly planes

10:57 am

any clues for the two pa words?

10:58 am

Please, I'm missing the second re4--anyone?

10:58 am

ai6/18 -- what we breathe + plural "doer" ending

10:58 am

ai6/8- pl of ai5/10 ai6/21 - adult males who fly ai6/24 - adult males who help

10:58 am

hetty -- second one i have is what you pay to live somewhere

10:59 am

samantha = listener, jane = got is gracious

10:59 am

I have re4/5 - plural of a sleep stage

10:59 am

thanks vicuna...i was still needing the fish for the ai6/18

11:00 am

the 2 pa words are sing and pl of a term without defn--start with friend (pa) and end with beginning of the famous Princess's name

11:00 am

*god

11:00 am

thanks everyone for the great ai clues

11:00 am

Fiz - I'll help if I can.... name is Elisabeth Louise (note, s not z)

11:00 am

pa4/5 - sounds like peppermint pa*** or hamburger pa***. Plural for the 5

11:00 am

hrmmm...not sure if that describes me or not...heh... i do think im an ok listener though....

11:01 am

evan, I have that re4, in my list it's the fourth. I need the second

11:01 am

elisabeth = consecrated to god, louise = famous warrior. i like that one.

11:01 am

eva, maybe it was wishful thinking on your parent's part.

11:01 am

dr5,16??????

11:01 am

I'm puzzled. my ranking under 'who's hot" was 1029 for a long time, then it was 1,030 for a couple of days, then back down to 1,029. yesterday it was 1,030 and today it's back to 1,029. it doesn't make sense to me.

11:02 am

katusha, look at my icon

11:02 am

actually, thats not even the name i was given when i was born...my parents named me Samantha Jane when i was adopted... my birth name was Cheryl Rose -- whatcha got on that one??

11:02 am

angel...mine has been 1921 for over a week, but I've finished every day... i have seen people who were below me go up above me and yet i have consistently completed. no sense whatsoever

11:02 am

hi everyone! fiz, can i play the name game too?

11:02 am

in Hebrew, Elizabeth means, "God's gracious gift."

11:02 am

that was supposed to be 1021....

11:02 am

and hi feather

11:02 am

everyone can play feather - evanadine, let me check...

11:02 am

good morning, all!

11:03 am

hey stidmama

11:03 am

Morning stid

11:03 am

ok, my full name is heather leah-anne

11:03 am

wow stid -- you rhyme with your icon. ;)

11:03 am

god gave lots of gifts...theodore is gift of god as well..doren (my name) just means gift...

11:03 am

Doesn't your score have something to do with how quickly you complete the puzzle?

11:03 am

yeah -- it was the first word I saw, thought it was kinda funny...

11:03 am

cheryl= beloved, rose = self explanatory. that's sweet.

11:03 am

Hey Stid, Love you

11:03 am

My husband's name is gift of God too, Matthew

11:04 am

like some one that hangs out his clothes??? I have that... your icon isn't very clear....

11:04 am

well, that is kinda nice...

11:04 am

*warm fuzzy feeling* thanks hetty!

11:04 am

i thought it was points. and haven't heard that points are given for speed....hmmm?

11:04 am

wow, so is my husbands name.. john.. Gods gracious gift.

11:04 am

got the p's thanks

11:04 am

God was very generous

11:04 am

Jaime,the difference is Greek instead of Hebrew

11:04 am

heather = heather, leah = weary, anne = full of grace

11:04 am

{{{{Stid}}}} IM is up

11:05 am

do any of you gift of gods have the ce5/12? I am Joyce Elaine...

11:05 am

check your IM daisy...

11:05 am

hetty - TY

11:05 am

heh, so i'm a tired graceful flower!

11:05 am

feather, it sounds like your feather is appropriate

11:05 am

ce5/12is what an aria would be sung in chinese

11:05 am

sorry joyce, don't have

11:06 am

ce5/12 - add small river (first 3 letters of r4/4) add the whole r4/4 for ce6/21

11:06 am

hetty is that clue greek for chinese?

11:06 am

joyce = rejoicing, elaine= light. that's lovely.

11:06 am

My name is so awful i dont think it can be a gift from God!!

11:06 am

There is a list in the archives of the scores players received for each day - in order of when they completed the puzzle so I think speed is a factor somehow.

11:06 am

bugsy, your clue was helpful...thanks...thanks hetty too even though I wasn't up to chinese today

11:06 am

Jeewhiz--simply add the end of the operatic song to your ce

11:07 am

caitlyn, is it in fact caitlyn? form of Catharine, meaning pure...

11:07 am

artdr, we are in all different time zones, so I don't think the order of completetion necessarily has anything to do with the time it took to complete

11:07 am

I'm still seeking for the SECOND re4 please

11:07 am

Thats not my name!!

11:07 am

i bet i know a name you cant find a meaning for...heh

11:08 am

hetty - do you have the re4/5 - plural of sleep stage?

11:08 am

ok, well if you would care to share your awful name i'd be happy to try to dig up a meaning. and evanadine, try me... the internet is vast and wise...

11:08 am

so samantha jane, why do you go by eva nadine?

11:08 am

re4/5 - to tear

11:09 am

samantha jane----cement?

11:09 am

Okay...NO laughing in babbleland pleae..its Rita Doris!!I told you no sniggering!!

11:09 am

Vicuna, I have that one, it's the third re4 grrr

11:10 am

does anyone have the di6/24 please?

11:10 am

I just read the rankings explanations Vicuna and you're right. It does seem odd that the rankings are so confusing though even reading the explanations.

11:10 am

no, second on is re4/5 - pl of sleep stage

11:10 am

hetty you do have what we pay at ann apartment?

11:10 am

Eva has always been my favorite girls name... Nadine just kinda sounds goo with it. :)

11:10 am

caitlyn, if it's any consolation, when i hear rita, the first thing i think of is the beautiful rita hayworth

11:10 am

ther's one between it and the first re4 (re IS alway a pain)

11:10 am

so to me it's a lovely name

11:10 am

my sister in law's first name means light and her middle name means dark. she is conflicted :)

11:10 am

I like it too...it flows so very nicely. I have a friend that is Eva Nanette. Kind of similar.

11:11 am

my nephews middle name is Unai (a somewhat common babblet, no less!)

11:11 am

Dorens, that is the fourth re4=---grr again

11:11 am

Thanks feather..thats really kindand Jee Whiz

11:11 am

you have to tear?

11:11 am

rita, version of margarita/margaret, meaning pearl. doris is a woman of the sea. not too bad, caitlyn. were you named for someone?

11:11 am

The rankings add an extra point for each grid that you complete in the last 30 days. So a score of 1030 means you have completed every grid perfectly. 1029 would mean that you did 29 perfectly and did not attempt one, etc..... Or that you did 30 but missed a few words on one.....

11:11 am

hetty -- did you try the plural of the level of sleep?

11:11 am

hi! clues please for the cr6,21

11:11 am

wow... never new my name had such a strong origin!

11:11 am

no, first re is 4/4 pl of a camping store, second is 4/5 sleep stages, third is 4/5 to tear/...

11:12 am

My icon is my wedding dress, btw. the color is e4

11:12 am

emusing....boo hooers

11:12 am

emusing -- plural of people who weep

11:12 am

gotta go bbl

11:12 am

there are re +to be, the sleep one, re + gloria steinem's magazine, r + not beginning and the apartment pay... those are all the re's

11:12 am

Yes dorens. I have to tear and to pay for an aoartment and an re followed by verb to be--there is one more--please?

11:12 am

What does a ranking of -12 mean?

11:13 am

love it harpjane, see you later!

11:13 am

The Fiz I think my dad met someone in Gemany during the war with that name.Mysecond name came from lots of aunties who died early with that name!!

11:13 am

the sleep one?

11:13 am

I think it means that you are in trouble in babbleland

11:13 am

Harpjane I think the confusion is for those who complete every puzzle many days in a row and the ranking for them hardly changes.

11:13 am

the sl eep one?

11:13 am

hetty- don't you have what the eyes do?

11:13 am

re4/5 - pl of a stage of sleep involving Rapid Eye Movement

11:13 am

tor, it means you're extra special.

11:14 am

later harpjane (the dress -- and the lady wearing it -- is beautiful)

11:14 am

does anyone have the di6/24?

11:14 am

thought that had been clued earllier... i call it re + Gloria Steinem's magazine... term for female either married or un-

11:14 am

No dorens. Evidently my eyes aren't workig today

11:14 am

I thought so ...

11:14 am

or you ticked off dr.god

11:14 am

my middle name is Felicity - i'm named for my great grandmother Fanny - thank goodness my parents love me enough not to stick me with that!

11:15 am

11:15 am

LOL TheFiz

11:15 am

re5,12, and re6,18???? pls,... help. last 2!

11:15 am

oh i must have ticked off dr. god.... i once asked about why mine had stayed static for a week or so last month

11:15 am

di6/24 - without interuptions or detours

11:15 am

JeeWhiz--d 6/25 Do not pass go. Go di---- to jail.

11:15 am

and dorens, what was the response?

11:15 am

bur I got the rapid eye movement bit, thank you Vicuna

11:15 am

Fanny was a nickname too, for her yiddish name Faygela, which means little bird. to this day, every now and again my grandmother will ask my mother - always apropos of nothing - "what's wrong with Faygela?"

11:16 am

evanadine - missed the secret name - please repost?

11:16 am

thanks vicuna and munner...that got it

11:16 am

no response, but it did go up by abaout 7 or 8 points a day or so later....then stayed the same for the week

11:16 am

Unai

11:16 am

(its a common babblet too!)

11:16 am

re6/18 is what calves have in their stomachs and is used in cooking to jell

11:16 am

looks like sushi - i'll be back in a minute...

11:17 am

Harpjane, Dr. God says the rankings are messed up. I have completed every grid since June 10, yet two dayssy ago i fell to 1029

11:17 am

re6/18 is also te6/18 backwards...

11:18 am

I stopped worrying about the month rankings -- I just like getting as many words as I can and watching my total points add up!

11:18 am

Katusha, id youn get that? and the re5/12 is pl of re/5

11:18 am

unai - male name, origin basque, means sloth. Hah!

11:18 am

Jeewhis--oooh you are clever

11:18 am

they sure are....my summer project was to get to 1030----have completed every one since last week of june (except one the day my grandaughter was born) and can't seem to get past 1021---but is that really inportant?

11:18 am

any help with the re 5/10?

11:18 am

I am with you stidmama, I like to watch my points grow....and grow

11:18 am

well, it certainly IS basque -- thats where his grandparents are from!

11:19 am

ty - now just re5,12/

11:19 am

hetty, I really got that clue from someone else in the middle of the night...so I cannot give proper credit.

11:19 am

*feeling self-satisfied with name search, but not with word list*

11:19 am

how can we help you fiz?

11:19 am

re 5/12 is plural of word before, katusha

11:19 am

11:19 am

11:20 am

YAY katusha!

11:20 am

11:20 am

yay katusha!!!!!!

11:20 am

first the name - long and not interesting story....when i was in college i ran a housing cooperative that owned, rented, and maintained about 70 units in 3 large houses.

11:20 am

and katusha...is da bomb?

11:21 am

and....what's the rest of the story Fiz. I am not getting the connection yet.

11:21 am

my roommates/tenants thought i needed a definitve name - and for some reason they didn't think Jenn was unique enough - go figure...

11:21 am

anyone have a clue for re 5/10?

11:21 am

okay, I like it!

11:22 am

add a vowel to the previous re4

11:22 am

ce/8 ??

11:23 am

plural of ce7/32

11:23 am

so they thought it should be a solid start. it was during that horrible snoop-dog "izzle" time in urban language, and - my last name being Steinfeld, a couple of folks called me SteinFizeld, shortened to Fizeld, to The Fiz.

11:23 am

bekki, add an N to the middle of things

11:23 am

creative people

11:23 am

jee? Add a vowel? Am I totally dense?

11:24 am

so there you go. i made it my email address when i took a semester off, and it's stuck every since.

11:24 am

add a vowel to the end of the re4 klaurel

11:24 am

*ever

11:24 am

a unique story, for sure fiz...

11:24 am

and it is a great nickname, as nicknames go, it is unique.

11:24 am

Good story TheFiz

11:25 am

thanks - much more memorable than Jenn. great for online stuff, too, b/c it's almost never taken...

11:25 am

thanks, jee! For some reason I was thinking consonent! <LOL>

11:25 am

12:44 pm

looks like a te6/21 to me...

12:44 pm

te 6/21 pls? ok I'm here:)

12:44 pm

do you guys think it's better to upgrade to pro with a username that's finished every puzzle I've started, or upgrade with a username that has played a few more boards but didn't finish one of them?

12:44 pm

Correct! 2 points for fizzy

12:45 pm

te6/21 = number after 9 + entertainment/play room for kids

12:46 pm

also a long-snouted rat like animal from madagascar, if that helps.

12:46 pm

ache i can't answer that b/c points are of no import to me.

12:47 pm

I've never had anything about me called petite .. Thanks!

dammit

12:54 pm

ok testing...

12:55 pm

yayy!!

12:55 pm

12:55 pm

oh I'm Babbler, btw

12:56 pm

Ahh.

12:56 pm

I can still see stats. Do they disappear after a while?

12:57 pm

hey Tor-Tor : )

12:57 pm

I think they stay for two weeks, unless you turn pro

12:57 pm

why aren't you born under a bad sign anymore? I miss your profile.

12:58 pm

ah right, thanks gwenski. well I've still got my 'proper' account for that.

12:58 pm

babbler/daisy, how funny!

12:58 pm

tee hee! ; )

12:58 pm

12:59 pm

it's hard to tell w/o the alluring photo, babs/daisy

12:59 pm

you look just like me!

12:59 pm

we're twinnies!

12:59 pm

I'm too tight to upgrade this account as well, TheFiz, LOL!

1:00 pm

Babbler/Daisy Eric, be careful though, because if you don't play your Babbler account for three days you lose serious ratings...so I believe.

1:01 pm

YAY Fiz!

1:01 pm

LOL, oh Boys, I haven't played for months and my rating in the last column (who's hot?) is now a dramatic 0!!

1:01 pm

Just got back. not many blueberries ripe today -- went to a different spot, so next time we'll go back to our usual.

1:01 pm

1:08 pm

Hi everybody....how are we all???

1:15 pm

YAY daisy!

1:15 pm

1:15 pm

Just popping in to say Hi to everyone! :)

1:15 pm

babs, did i tell you i passed my citizenship test last week?? : )

Now I have to do things around the house while I still have p & q....

1:17 pm

Hey lola!!!

1:17 pm

lola - what did you have to do to pass the citizenship test? Congratulations by the way!

1:17 pm

thanks! : ) one of my questions was 'how often do british children get pocket money?'!!! : /

1:17 pm

LOL!! the answer to that was probably morning, noon and night!

1:17 pm

lola, really?

1:17 pm

congrats lola! did they schedule you already for the ceremony?

1:17 pm

haz, i had to answer questions about life in the UK

1:18 pm

So did you have to say that everything was wonderful and Tony Blair is the greatest?

1:18 pm

were there any questions about chips, or trousers, or greasy spoon caffs?

1:18 pm

nooooo, not yet walnut! I now have the right to APPLY : /

1:18 pm

LOL

1:18 pm

*pops her icon and pours a glass of cr4/5 for Lola*

1:18 pm

1:19 pm

1:19 pm

Hi and welcome Karen W :)

1:19 pm

Welcome Karen. : ) (I am also known as Babbler)

1:19 pm

90 words

1:19 pm

hi karen : )

1:19 pm

90 words today

1:20 pm

thanks daisy

1:20 pm

How do we figure out the clues? What do they mean?

1:21 pm

thanks bugzy! *gulps down cr4/6* : D

1:21 pm

Karen, welcome to babble, take a look at Angelsongs resouce page down the bottm under friends of babble - loads of how to's and hints.

1:21 pm

Karen, to figure out scores, it will help to read Help, above. Clues.... well, we are very creative here! lol

1:21 pm

oh yes, Angelsong's resource is probaby the best to read first. : )

1:23 pm

thanks!

1:23 pm

And Karen - relax and enjoy the game. So many new players seem to get very tense and competitive. It's about finding words and having fun.

1:23 pm

any clues for the 2 x P words in the right column? I can't see a dicky bird. : /

1:23 pm

good advice Haz

1:23 pm

Babbler - who suggested today theme for the icons - I think it is one of the best we have had and can I book it again?

1:24 pm

a writing tablet is also a P* then add a vowel and then plural it

1:24 pm

FMitch, it was harpjane (I think, check the list). I know, it's brilliant isn't it? I already scheduled it again mid Oct. : )

1:24 pm

I'll 2nd that Haz and flosey

1:24 pm

when I first started playing, i was OBSESSED with finishing a grid and getting high scores...once i got over that, i'm having much more fun (but I did finally finish a few and get myself on the Village Elders before I could relax)

1:24 pm

I agree Fmitch - I love this theme!!

1:24 pm

back again.

1:25 pm

anyone got my profile handy?

1:25 pm

(LOL!!)

1:25 pm

i know my icon isn't actually a clue, but it is in the grid, and i have just read one to my son for bedtime

1:25 pm

what do you need to know, daisy?

1:25 pm

Could we buck the trend and make Friday's grid word day or something like that?

1:26 pm

It says: Take A Word From The Grid - then our icons will also be clues Theme for Sat 05 Aug - Soda / Pop / Coke Theme for Sun 06 Aug - Foods You Hate

1:26 pm

who's idea today's theme was. thanks Stid : )

1:26 pm

it's not in there, but I know it was harpjane.

1:26 pm

no, further down, in teh main body of the list, you'll see I credit people for their ideas

1:26 pm

oh! brb

1:26 pm

FMitch - I'm liking that idea. Everyone - what do you think? Every Friday - take a word from the grid day?

1:27 pm

LOVE the idea!

Hello all

1:27 pm

(LOL! I will soooo have to use my diary if you all say yes!) XD

1:27 pm

okay, fyi: 04 Aug - Take A Word From The Grid (harpjane) - then our icons will also be clues 05 Aug - Soda / Pop / Coke (noblelover/hurshy) 06 Aug - Foods You Hate (hurshy) 07 Aug - Dragons (mattygroves) 08 Aug - Princess Bride (Douglas)

1:27 pm

yeah, great idea : )

1:27 pm

hello ladynoire

1:27 pm

It sounds good to me. I'm usually too lazy to change, but would enjoy the challenge.

1:27 pm

Hey Lola - I found LUSH in Chicago - I love it - so does my son!

1:28 pm

I still am clueless on the AI 6/24. feeling very blind.

1:28 pm

seano - I loved the Mr Men books! And feel very proud that you're starting your little boy on the delights of reading.

1:28 pm

It's just been such fun today and so many people have joined in

1:28 pm

another word for help + another word for guys

1:28 pm

ai6/24 = help + males

1:28 pm

ai6/24 - first three letters of 'help, then plural males. Same structure as the ai6/21

1:28 pm

hey Lupe! that's great! kids do love the stuff...what have you tried?? : )

1:28 pm

stid - it's like the ai4 after it, but specifically male

1:28 pm

hi everyone!

1:29 pm

thanks firefly!

1:29 pm

hi annie!

Hello Daisy

1:29 pm

hi annie, hi lady N

Hello Sean

1:29 pm

I went in just to browse since we were waiting for the bus - but we walked around and sniffed a bunch of stuff - I have to go back - the soaps look and smell edible! I promised my son we'd go back!

1:29 pm

(psst! ladynoire -- daisy eric is Babbler)

1:30 pm

thanks stid : ) well, that's it for me (as Daisy). I'm gonna watch tv and have my dinner now. I'll log back in as Babbler and put today's theme in for every Friday. I think that's brilliant!. Laters everyone! : )

Funny thing is that it's been there and I've passed it up but never went in....

1:30 pm

1:31 pm

1:31 pm

Great as gifts too!

1:31 pm

ladynoire - my icon can help you - add some endings onto it, like one who

1:31 pm

the 7 & 8 are like the word that means middle but add a consonant in the middle of it

1:32 pm

Bye Babs/Daisy :)

1:32 pm

the ce's i have skipped couldnt get past the second one

1:32 pm

kinda rhymes with one who makes wines

1:32 pm

cant get a handle on the ce 5 and 6? any clues?

1:32 pm

ce7/32 begins with an American coin and ends the same way as Kevin C the actor.

1:32 pm

ce5/12 - ce + last 3/4 of operatic solo. Plural for the 6

1:33 pm

lupe...what do you think all MY friends and family will be getting for Xmas this year?? lol : D

1:33 pm

1:34 pm

1:34 pm

Thanks Bugz

1:34 pm

re 6/18 is te 6/18 backwards

2:04 pm

te 6/18 sounds like an opera singer (usually male)

2:04 pm

It's fun to race with friends -- the competition is nicer that way (I don't usually enjoy real competitions).

2:04 pm

i couldnt take the pressure, glad you both finished, whew!!!!!!!!

2:05 pm

i often see people cluing during races, and for the competition too! i know i've done it

2:10 pm

5:57 pm

sorry wrong one.

5:57 pm

no ponco - it's a woird in the grid..as in word from the grid

5:57 pm

that's the second i believe

5:57 pm

di 4/5 just add a consonant

5:57 pm

yw mo

5:58 pm

di5/12 sounds like a woman's name, di*** ross, but change the As to another vowel

5:58 pm

now i do fran..i was thinking 4 wheeler....i had a red one and ran over someone sunbathing on the beach...my dad took it away from me....

5:59 pm

ahhh....ty fran...been strugglin with that for soooo long

Been trying to help with clues but the rest of you are so much faster!

5:59 pm

6:01 pm

i can only imagine!!! were u hurt?

6:01 pm

or also buried?

6:01 pm

nope just felt stupid

6:02 pm

I bet she's in a chatroom somewhere relating the story of her near death experience as we speak!

6:02 pm

*carefully moves car keys out of Ren's reach...* : s

6:02 pm

lol

6:02 pm

how old were you ren?

6:02 pm

lol snowy!

6:02 pm

wow...what an experience...must have been frightening... (lol ...good idea anj)

6:02 pm

she may be snowy...so if you read it - you now know the other side of the story

6:03 pm

17

6:03 pm

*everyone in babbleland follows anj's suit and also hides car keys from ren*

6:04 pm

Er, Ren? Rav4's aren't eactly renowned for their handling, lol : )

6:04 pm

poor ren... no longer allowed to drive

6:04 pm

6:05 pm

Uh-oh... I think Ren's got to get the Goat...

6:06 pm

last du5/14, reg/18 & si6/18 please

6:06 pm

Oh & such a good story to tell - you should write it down so you never forget! We always wanted my feisty grandma to write all hers but-she never did. It's a good archive story Ren.

6:06 pm

I meant re6/18 Oops

6:06 pm

bettyanne, add a vowel to the du4/6 that has double consonants on the end.

6:07 pm

re6/18 sounds like a smaller version of our babble friend ren.

6:07 pm

re6/18 used in cheese making

6:08 pm

si6/18 is the si**** madre mountains (at least i think they're mountains)

6:08 pm

Bettyanne - si 6/19 First part of the si**** Nevada mountain range in California.

6:29 pm

6:30 pm

that was 6/18

6:30 pm

sorry...had to go and settle a small argument between my son and his friend

6:30 pm

6:30 pm

the ai6/18 is plural of the ai5/10 (one who ai**)

6:31 pm

hi krista!

6:31 pm

Cath is that the ri5?

6:31 pm

tnx

6:31 pm

hey my butt-kickin' Scrabble buddy - how r u today?

6:31 pm

hi krista

6:32 pm

fine krista! but baby has a low fever

6:32 pm

Thank god..what an ordeal...fireworks here!!!!

6:32 pm

yay chj!!!

6:32 pm

yes...ri 5 anj

6:32 pm

first the power went out here in downtown stamford yesterday at about noon

6:33 pm

Hey Cath - my kids r arguing outside! It has never ended this summer. I'd think they'd be far apart enough that this wouldn't happen (10 ad 5)

hey do yall have any hints for this puzzled

6:33 pm

fortunately i had already finished yesterdays puzzle

6:33 pm

Aww, do u think she is sick or cutting teeth?

6:33 pm

lol...there's a little girl in the neighborhood...only 6 who keeps showing her privates to my son!!! sheesh

6:34 pm

she's sick, she's had a runny nose also

6:34 pm

then, when the power came back last night, my computer went bonkers in mid chat..whoever i was chatting with my apologies

6:34 pm

...and trying to grab my son's private

6:34 pm

chj, that explains your expired butter.

6:35 pm

cath, being totally serious here, she may be a victim of sexual abuse.

6:35 pm

i missed the flip last night and didnt get my computer back until 5:30 this afternoon...im glad it was a small grid

6:35 pm

dyin for that ri5 clue!

6:35 pm

Wow, girls are doing everything that used to be boys' domain, aren't we, Cathy? Sheesh for sure. I agree with Fran - that's young to be acting out for any other reason.

6:36 pm

cathy, ri + plural letter + you and me

6:36 pm

yes fran i need to change my icon.. be right back

6:36 pm

...like Fran said...

6:36 pm

i've been wondering that myself krista and fran...i work for lawyers who have children's aid as a client and i think i oughta at least make a report so they could at least be checked out.

6:37 pm

luvs ya fran...tks for the clue

6:37 pm

maybe i just watch law & order SVU too much!

6:38 pm

but i hate to be a poop disturber at the same time...could only cause myself some trubble with the neighbors!

6:38 pm

It's not something anyone likes to do, but it could help her. Do u know the parents at all?

6:38 pm

no...it is a sign for certain!!!

6:39 pm

They wouldn't have to know who did it. Heck, I had a social worker friend who was reported, and she works for child protective services! Someone saw her being beaten up by her autistic daughter and thought she was the perp.

6:39 pm

not met them...never even seen them b4 actually...just her dad. but u can never judge a book by its cover either.

6:39 pm

your son is pretty young himself, right cath?

6:39 pm

omgosh krista

6:39 pm

only 9

6:39 pm

sorry 8...hit the wrong #

6:39 pm

If nothing's going on, they have nothing to worry about.

6:40 pm

ok fran..a proper icon

6:40 pm

true...at least it could be checked on tho...i think i just might make the call and let CAS decide if they think it should be checked out.

6:40 pm

ah yes, ai6

6:40 pm

I'll refresh, chj..kept looking for butterfly words in the grid. ;)

6:41 pm

fran..i cant figure yours out..give me a hint ..like the hint for mine is ai6/21

6:41 pm

i've forbidden my son to play wiht this little girl at all now...prob is...all his other friends play together with her too so it's kinda leaving him out in the cold

6:41 pm

qu4/8 chj.

6:41 pm

i think i WILL make that call...would hate to have my son lose friends over one child who may actually be hurting

6:42 pm

ah..got it

6:42 pm

Cathy -- it does not hurt to make the report. They may decide, being the experts, what to do with the information. I don't know what the law in Canada is, in the U.S. the person who reports suspected child abuse can remain anonymous.

6:42 pm

Sounds like a good plan, Cath.

6:42 pm

hey stid!

6:43 pm

Nice icon, Stid

6:43 pm

stid you made your own grid!

6:43 pm

Stid's Grid

6:43 pm

:-) thanks for noticing Fran

6:44 pm

same here stidmama... although the files i've worked on at the office...make ya wonder how professional and expert they really are!!! it IS a tough job for sure...especially when they "apprehend" a child, but still...so many get away with a slap on the wrist that deserve worse...while others well...reverse the scenario

6:44 pm

well chj, your icon is still a historical plane

6:45 pm

i think i will at least make the call and "do my part" though.

6:45 pm

Very true here, too. I could have had a free master's degree in SW if agreed to work x number of years in Child Protective Services. NOT for me.

6:45 pm

stid, i liked our sq5/18 icon just as much.

6:45 pm

inge, the clue is the people around the plane.

6:45 pm

Guten abend, Inge.

6:46 pm

yes, that was a fun one, too. But I was bored when I finished, so I played around in my paint program...

6:46 pm

ty for that clue fran...i needed it also

6:46 pm

guten abend, inge, wie geht's?

6:46 pm

hallo Krista! Wie gehts?

6:46 pm

6:50 pm

Hullo there everyone, I've just revised my bio. Stid, du bist die ruh-der friede mild

6:50 pm

Krista is saying that she is getting cold, so Maryland must have cooled off as well

6:51 pm

I was named for my brother's teacher who was Bavarian!

6:51 pm

cathy, take the si4/4 , drop the last letter, double the consonant and add another vowel

6:52 pm

Jah should be "ja"..been listening to too much reggae music. ;)

6:52 pm

6:58 pm

you are forgetting the love, Stid.

6:58 pm

ahh...stid...it's hard when the kids are sick... lotsa lovin makes a big difference...the tlc makes them feel so much better

6:58 pm

I didn't think anything was going around here... but they did get back from camp last week, so maybe he caught something there.

6:58 pm

KEVIN JOSEPH ALOYSIUS “CHUCK” CONNERS Chuck is best known as “The Rifleman”, a highly popular television western series, but had earlier been in 942 minor league games from 1940 through 1952 less three military years. Chuck was born in 1921, was over 6’5”, attended Seton Hall University, and played pro basketball for three years in the late1940’s. . Connors did make it to the majors. He was with the Brooklyn Dodgers for one game as a pinch-hitter in 1949, and was in 66 more with the Chicago Cubs in 1951. The big, left-handed firstbaseman hit two home runs for the Cubs, and finished his big league career with an average of .238. He was sent back to the minors, left baseball after a year with Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast League, and became an actor. The television headliner was also in many motion pictures such as the classic The Big Country with Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston. Conners died in 1992 at the age of 71.

11:39 pm

he's holding dr6/21 I think

11:39 pm

nooooo, jili - haven't we been through this before?

11:39 pm

I think the Cubs had a minor league team in Springfield Massachusetts...

11:39 pm

helen, your alan is a hair stylist, right?

11:40 pm

I don't think so, helen! Somebody else maybe?

11:40 pm

dang - i should have remembered the part about the cubs - dang!

11:40 pm

sorry - i got caught up in reading the chuck conners report

11:41 pm

11:41 pm

Conners or Connors? Both are in the report. I thought it was Connors

11:41 pm

rofl

11:41 pm

jili - it's a picture of actor alan rickman - from the movie blow dry, in which he played a stylist - not a great movie, not one of his better roles
